Couche-Tard Sued by Conway Oil
Lawsuit relates to four-year-old acquisition in New Mexico.
LAVAL, Quebec -- Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc., headquartered here, is being sued by Conway Oil Co. for breach of contract and fraud relating to a four-year-old transaction between the companies, Dow Jones Newswires reported.
In court documents cited by the news agency, Conway claims the sale of 16 of its convenience stores in New Mexico to Couche-Tard's Circle K unit in September 2005 included a "contingent amount" provision, requiring Circle K to pay Conway additional money for three 12-month periods after the deal closed, if fuel gross margins exceeded $3.25 million.
Conway alleges "as measured in the manner discussed and agreed upon by the parties," fuel gross profit exceeded the negotiated threshold, triggering a maximum payment of $1.9 million -- less $450,000 advanced by Circle K at the time of closing, the report stated.
"Despite demand on it to pay the contingent amount due, Circle K has failed and refused to do so, thus entitling Conway Oil to judgment against defendants Circle K and Couche-Tard in the amount of $1.45 million, plus interest, attorneys' fees and costs," the complaint states. A call to Circle K for more information was unreturned by press time.
Conway's lawyer, Spencer Reid of Keleher & McLeod, said the fuel gross profit calculation method isn't written in the actual sale contract, but was explained to Circle K before the deal closed and was "expressly and clearly" stated in e-mail exchanges between the parties, of which Conway has copies, the report stated.
In the complaint, Conway said Circle K "unreasonably increased its fuel costs" by failing to take advantage of discounts, volume incentives and less-expensive alternatives, as well as charging its credit-card expenses against fuel gross profit. In addition, Reid said Conway believes Circle K employs other categories of expenses that further reduce fuel gross profit reported to Conway, but Circle K has so far refused to explain them in any detail, according to the report.
Conway also seeks punitive damages, alleging Circle K reneged on an agreement not to deduct transportation costs in calculating fuel gross profit, according to the complaint cited by the news agency.
The lawsuit was filed recently in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico. None of the allegations have been proven, according to the report. Reid told Dow Jones Newswires there were several attempts to resolve the case, including mediation, but Conway resorted to a lawsuit because Circle K stopped responding to requests for information and efforts to settle.

The first week of fall camp is a head-spinning experience for most freshmen: installing plays every day, every day learning something new.But at the end of his fifth day of practice, Utah freshman safety Andre Godfrey showed some things come with instinct. He shot through the line of scrimmage on a Jon Halliday field goal attempt and swatted the kick to the turf. Corner back Reggie Porter picked up the loose ball, but Godfrey earned a pat on the back."Blocking kicks is kind of a natural thing, it's not really a skill," he said. "You run through and try to block the kick. It's about effort."The 5-foot-10 safety has been just one of the freshman defensive backs making an early impact for the Utes. Rookie corner Travonne Hobbs also had an highlight on Friday, picking up a fumble and also recording a pass break up in the last 20 minutes of practice. Freshman Casey Hughes had a pass break-up going against the much-bigger Andre Lewis.While the Utes feel comfortable with their top-string defensive backs at the moment, it's been reassuring to see youth contribute early. "Hobbs and Casey Hughes are doing a nice job and appeared what they hoped we would be when they recruited them," coach Kyle Whittingham said.Of course it helps those young DBs, Whittingham cautioned, that top receivers Dres Anderson and Kenneth Scott have seen limited team reps as the Utes try to keep them healthy. Godfrey said the first few days have been mentally taxing, trying to pick up all of his defensive responsibilities. The Utes have had him cover slot, put him in the box or left him playing centerfield. But Godfrey also played several roles in high school, so he hopes to acclimate quickly.That doesn't mean everything has been smooth: Godfrey couldn't run down running back Troy McCormick on a 60-yard touchdown run that left him out of breath.Hey, he said, at least I tried to the end."We still are learning on the fly," he said. "Sometimes things are going to happen. But if you mess up a play, keep going 100 percent. Don't give up on it.""Tip of the iceberg" • With the latest significant change to the college football landscape coming with Thursday's vote for Power 5 autonomy, Whittingham had some interesting things to say at Friday's practice.In three or four more years, fans will see a "much different world" in college athletics, he predicted. "I think the shift and the change is going to happen fairly rapidly now as far as doing more for the student-athlete," he said.He said he's excited about the prosecute that athletes will be given more stipend money "so they can essentially survive," but he hasn't yet decided what he thinks about proposals to stop Power 5 teams from playing non-Power 5s.For teams like Utah State, "It's going to make it more difficult, and if things continue to evolve to create a bigger chasm, then eventually, I don't think you're going to see those types of teams compete," he said."Not to take anything away from what they're doing. Utah State's a heck of a team. They've got great coaches, but it could be legislated to the point where they don't have a chance. But we'll see what happens."Crowded (back)field • Whittingham said after practice that there is still no clear separation at running back or at least not over time."It's been a day-to-day thing," he said. "Troy McCormick ripped off a couple nice runs today. [Devontae] Booker was having a good day until he put the ball on the ground, you can't do that. Bubba [Poole] is solid. Bubba is probably the most steady of the backs, but the other two can be spectacular at times."Whittingham said Booker, a junior college transfer, also had a couple fumbles in spring, and he hopes it doesn't become a pattern. Friday, Booker saw the ball ripped out by redshirt freshman linebacker Tanner Larsen and recovered by freshman cornerback Travonne Hobbs."If you don't protect the football, you don't play," Whittingham said.Two not-live crew • Friday was the first day of full contact for most Utes, but not the quarterbacks.There may not be a fall camp practice during which Travis Wilson and Kendal Thompson are "live," Whittingham said. Particularly Wilson."Kendal's a little bit different because his game is running the football and moving around, so we've got a decision to make there. We may need to take a little bit of a look at him live just to get a feel for his elusiveness and capabilities."If that happens, it might be once next week and during either the first or second scrimmage, he said.Whittingham said it's pretty typical that college teams will keep their prospective starting quarterbacks off-limits during fall camp, but that "sometimes we make the down-the-line guys live. We will do that."The No. 3, right now, is redshirt freshman Conner Manning, Whittingham said. He expects that it will be 10-14 days before they have a clearer idea who will start.Return game • Thursday, Whittingham name-dropped McCormick and Booker as possible returners.Asked to elaborate Friday, he said both are in the mix to return kicks. Returning punts will be either senior wideout Kaelin Clay, Hobbs, or Poole.Special visitor • The entire team huddled up at the end of Friday's session, but it was still incomplete.Kyle Whittingham broke out of the center, coaxing a fan from the sideline. It was David Morrill, a small but clearly thrilled man wearing a novelty "No. 1" red foam finger. After the players all started beckoning, he trotted over to the group and ended up breaking the huddle.Morrill, one of his companions explained, has been a Utes football fan for a number of years. Whittingham has been known to make special allowances for the man, who has special needs, to visit practice over the years."I have fun going to the games," Morrill said.In the past, one of his favorite players was Jordan Wynn. On Friday, he said his favorite is transfer quarterback Kendal Thompson with all due respect to Travis Wilson. "He's No. 1," Morrill said, waving his foam finger. It's Thompson's jersey number, sure, but it's also a sentiment.
HIGHLIGHTS • Troy McCormick and his big run was the offense's play of the day. As he so often does, the redshirt freshman bounced outside, and he found some space. By the time he was done, McCormick had gone 60 yards and only Andre Godfrey and Uaea Masina in his wake, unable to catch him.STANDOUTS • When Reggie Porter is around the ball, good things seem to happen for the Utes defense. Porter was in the middle of several break-ups, including two in a row that left safeties coach Morgan Scalley screaming, "REGGIE PORTER" as if the sophomore had just emerged triumphant from a wrestling ring. Porter also picked up the loose ball after Godfrey's blocked kick.POSITION SPOTLIGHT • It will be interesting to see who gets the bulk of left defensive end snaps this fall, because both Hunter Dimick and Jason Fanaika have been getting some pressure. On Friday, Fanaika teamed up with Seni Fauonuku against three offensive linemen to collapse the pocket on Kendal Thompson, and they would've gotten a tackle for a loss as Thompson tried to scramble between them.QUOTE OF THE DAY • Kyle Whittingham, and it's best without context: "Acclimatization. It's a big word. Acclimatization. Acclimation? Acclimatization? They call it acclimatization. Acclimation period might be better. What's your question?"Kyle Goon and Matthew email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com: @kylegoon and @mpiper

Customer Ratings and ReviewsClick here to write a review
Pricey?I bought this..*after* I had gone and bought me a cheap handheld magnifier. I considered the price of this item a bit steep at first, especially after paying about eight bucks for my cheapo magnifier. I am studying Japanese Kanji, those pesky characters that are used in Japanese writings...and some of them, with their numerous strokes, and at my age..are very hard to read. I tried my cheapy magnifier..and it seemed to work ok...so, I waited for my Garret Wade magnifier to arrive. After all I reasoned, if it simply did the work that my handheld 8 dollar magnifier did..I would return the Garret Wade unit. So, am I returning it? HECK NO!! I love this thing! It is heavy, crystal clear, and does an awesome job of magnifying each individual pen stroke of the Kanji without introducing optical distortion. I LOVE THIS THING!! I threw my cheapy in my tool box....and am keeping this thing on my desk where I do my reading. Looks awesome too!
Mine for a momentI am a retired history teacher who loves maps. The glass magnifier is great for going over old texts fold-outs and its weight keeps the book open. But the real key is that my wife took it over because it helps her read the small print in books and magazines. So a second will have to be ordered. I love it!
Glass BeastThis thing is a beast. Comes in a slick foam lined box. Much bigger than I expected but it works well. Old school way of reading print.
Handsome and heavyA marvelous piece to keep on the desk and use as a paperweight as well as a magnifier. Timeless design, even on land!
Good LooksI first saw one of these in the chart room on a Coast Guard cutter on which I served in the 1970s. The one I purchased recently from GW works just as well. I am glad to see that modernity has not ruined a good design.
April 2015 Rate & Review Honorable Mention $50 Winner. Congratulations, Tom!!

Just because I haven't been a student in years and I'm not yet a mom, does NOT mean I will be missing out on back-to-school fun this year. I'm living vicariously through my nieces and nephews who started school yesterday. To celebrate, I had a nice little Zara shopping spree yesterday with two new pairs of shoes, two pairs of work pants, and two fresh shirts. I bought an old-school composition book at the dollar store and I even made the perfect back to school snack…
When I was in 4th grade donning leggings and an over-sized tie-dyed tee, Dunk-a-roos were the ultimate snack. It's the type of snack that would have made all the other kids beg to trade with me. That delicious Betty Crocker snack ruled the lunch room in the late 80s/early 90s.
I made a lower-fat version with nonfat yogurt and fat free cool whip. It was
so delicious too cool for school.
Dunk-A-roos Back To School Recipe
1/2 box funfetti cake mix
4 oz of fat-free cool whip topping
1 container of nonfat vanilla yogurt (I actually used soy yogurt which is a little tangier so I added extra cake mix)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
colored sprinkles
Teddy grahams (of course my market only had Scooby Doo dog bone crackers, kind of strange but tasted just the same!)
1. Combine first four ingredients. 2. Let mixture chill in the refrigerator for an hour (or even overnight). 3. Before serving add sprinkles to mixture. Serve in a big dip bowl for a party or in individual packs with teddy grahams.
What was your favorite snack in school?

Spurs check on Tonge
By Graeme Bailey
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The 19-year-old midfielder is fast becoming one of the most sort after properties in the First Division and a host of clubs are said to be watching.
Liverpool were strongly linked with a move for the England Under-20 star, but a number of other Premiership sides, including Tottenham are keeping a close eye on him.
Hughton watched Tonge as Sheffield United came from behind to beat Brighton 4-2 at The Withdean Stadium.
Tonge himself created the second when his strong run set up the chance for Carl Asaba.
The Manchester-born starlet, who was released by Man Utd as a trainee, has already spoken of his eagerness to move to The Premiership.
Tottenham have one of the best records in the Premiership of buying lower-league talent and nurturing them to produce first team players - with the likes Anthony Gardener, Simon Davies and Matthew Etherington all making the grade at White Hart Lane after being earlier lured from lower down the footballing ladder.

text: All About Caitlin (me) 🙆 So here's a pictures of me with a little crown emoji because I'm pretty great. (: Well, I am ,what all my teachers call, a "social butterfly." Which basically means I'm ALWAYS talking.. One of my favorite sports is track to be honest, I just recently tried it out and really enjoyed it. (I was a hurdler just like the girls in the video.) I think I am a fairly smart girl. When it comes to school, I do my best and work my hardest. I set really high goals for myself as in grades and behavior. (I'm not the kid with a F by the way.) Another thing I really enjoy is singing. Ever since I took choir in 6th grade, I really liked it and decided to stay and continue to honor choir.(The girl in the video is one of my favorite singers on vine.) My dream job, ever since I was a little girl, is to become a teacher. I've always loved explaining things and just helping other people. I hope to attend U.T Austin for college. Well that's pretty much it, thanks for watching! (: Here's a link to where I get my gifs from because why not?

British supercar maker Aston Martin is all set to launch its new flagship supercar, the DB11, in India during the festive season.
According to ZigWheels, the new DB11 is set to land on Indian tarmac in the month of October.
The Aston Martin DB11 was unveiled by the British carmaker earlier this year at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show in March.
The new DB11 replaces the DB9 as James Bond's company car and it heralds a new era in the British marque's story.
The new DB11 is the start of a new Turbo era for Aston martin as it switches to turbocharging to comply with new emission norms.
The DB11 is powered by a brand new 5.2-litre twin turbo V12 engine that pushes out 600bhp and 700Nm of torque. This makes the DB11 the most powerful 'DB' car Aston has ever produced.
All that power and torque is sent to the rear wheels through an 8-speed automatic gearbox from ZF.
The DB11 will sprint from 0-100km/h in just 3.9 seconds and will keep on accelerating till it tops out at 322km/h (200m/h).
The new DB11 has three driving modes:GT, Sport and Sport+, which can be selected by flicking a switch.
Aston has already imported a single unit of the DB11 into India and this car will be showed off to prospective buyers at invite-only events in major cities across the country.
The reason for all the pomp and circumstance, the price. The DB11 is expected to be priced at Rs. 4.5 crore ex-showroom, which would make its a whole crore more expensive than the DB9.

A NEW gym is being built as part of a major new development on Widnes waterfront.
Pure Gym is opening on the Venture Fields site beside the cinema, ice rink, bowling alley and restaurants at The Hive leisure park in September.
Council Leader, Clr Rob Polhill, said: "It is great to see work getting underway. The gym will be a big attraction and is in a great position alongside The Hive which gets really busy, so the two should complement each other very well."
Barwood Developments has teamed up with Halton Council to develop the 11-acre site developed for leisure, trade and industrial use.
The finished development will complement others in the surrounding area, as the gym will be opposite The Hive, with the trade/industrial units fronting Dennis Road and the businesses on Widnes Trade Park.
Clr Ron Hignett, board member for physical environment, said: "I am pleased we are working with Barwood and that this development is moving along well. Venture Fields is an important site at Widnes Waterfront and I'm sure there will be a lot of interest in it as what is being offered is a great opportunity."
Andrew Dickman, director of Barwood Developments North, added: "We are pleased to be working with Halton in delivering the next phases of development on the Waterfront and look forward to releasing news in the very near future of what's coming next."
Pure Gym opened in Runcorn just before Christmas.

Pictures (more to be added.)
The program design is based upon learning theories the designer validated while teaching more than 5,000 people to read. Dr. Edwin Ray Guthrie at the University of Washington postulated that we tend to continue doing what we did last. Our corollary is: "We learn best when the learning experience ends in success." Simple, yet elegant! (Dr. Pournelle was Dr. Guthrie's last graduate student.) This central theory embraced by The Literacy Connection approach shows the learner his success at the end of EVERY lesson. Then the user is eager to return to the task.
One of the most difficult skills to teach and to learn in reading is called blending . This program uses the full power of the computer to simulate what many neuroscientists believe happens in the human brain during successful blending. Close research led to the development of a copyrighted technique called Uncover to Discover .
The comprehension check uses a modified version of Dr. W. Taylor's highly acclaimed Clozure technique. The Management System in the software tracks the student's progress and you can adjust each individual student's expected accuracy rate.
Early in our R&D we looked closely at optimal screen design . Varying our screen we videotaped students using the tutorial. We discovered that including any graphics on screens where we wanted the student focus on text lowered student accuracy by as much as 50%! All graphics are separate from study text.
All the research aside, this program works!

Volunteer: For a sense of community
Whether you are new to the community, or a long-time resident, consider volunteering at a museum or heritage organization to learn about your community's history while you meet new friends.
As the population of the Okanagan grows and the landscape changes, it can sometimes be challenging to develop or maintain that sense of place that creates a community. An awareness of community history will help develop or recreate that sense of place which makes volunteering so personally rewarding.
Museums and heritage sites are more than just collections of objects or buildings, they are the accumulated history of lives lived, the stories and personal histories that shaped our community.
This history is central to what our community is today.
At the Lake Country Museum and Archives, our volunteers range in age from teens to retirees, those who are brand new to the community and want to learn more about their new home, and others whose parents or grandparents settled here long ago.
They all share at least one thing in common—a love of history.
Working with the artefacts, old photographs and documents that tell the story of our past gives our volunteers that sense of place and feeling of being part of a community. As they learn more, volunteers are encouraged to get to know the collections and perhaps continue with personal research.
Learn about your community's history and make new friends at the Lake Country Museum and Archives.
Volunteer positions include a wide range of opportunities to utilize current skills and learn new ones, such as historical research and writing, cataloguing artefacts and archival materials, assisting with exhibitions, assisting with tours and events, conducting oral history interviews, and working with community-based projects.
To find out more about volunteer opportunities at the Lake Country Museum and Archives, please visit our website at www.lakecountrymuseum.com or phone 250-766-0111.
Shannon Jorgenson is the manager of the Lake Country Museum and Archives.

A film documenting civilian deaths caused by the United States drone program in Pakistan was released in New York City on Wednesday.
The film – "Unmanned: America's Drone Wars" – directed by American filmmaker Robert Greenwald, premiered a day after the family of Pakistani drone strike victim appeared before Congress.
9-year-old Nabila Rehman who was injured by a drone strike in Pakistan, along with her brother Zubair Rehman and father Rafiq ur Rehman, was invited to speak about the attack last year that killed their 67-year-old grandmother Momina Bibi. Greenwald also joined the family for the hearing.
See Also: Naming The Dead: Putting A Number And A Face To Drone Deaths In Pakistan
"Unmanned" provides harrowing details of civilian casualties and survivors as well as disturbing accounts from former United States Air Force (USAF) operators of drones. It also features Rafiq ur Rehman and his children.
The documentary was released just a week after Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch released reports claiming the U.S. carried out unlawful killings in Pakistan and Yemen through drone attacks, some of which could even be equal to war crimes.
Related: Everyone Except The White House Understands Drone Killings Amount To War Crimes
According to international crowdfunding platform Indegogo, Greenwald tried to raise money for the completion of the documentary in June. Although the target wasn't achieved, he managed to finish the project nevertheless.
"Our film will put a spotlight on the impact of Drones on innocent people around the world, including in Pakistan and Yemen as well as the effects the U.S. Drone policy has on our own national security," the filmmaker stated.
Greenwald, the president of non-profit organization Brave New Foundation, added that he had produced and directed more than 50 films, TV movies and miniseries. He turned to documentary filmmaking in 2004 due to the lack of progressive media and U.S. "war on terror."
You can watch the teaser trailer for "Unmanned: America's Drone Wars" in the video above.

Why do so many people post anonymously? Why not own up to your questions or answers?
Most Helpful Girl
1) A lot of users on here hold grudges and if you just so happen to answer a question unanonymously or ask a question unanonymously that holds an unpopular view on GaG or that is not so politically correct, you can expect many users to hold it against you
2) I know of a couple of users who only post anon because they don't want to receive any friend requests or messages. They're only on here to answer questions and offer help, nothing further.
3) I guess for extra identity protection. I mean, a lot of people on here post unique situations that aren't likely common...so, it's easy for someone involved in the situation to recognize who would be asking it...but it'll happen whether you're anon or post unanonymously
4) There tend to be quite a few perverts on here, so many girls feel inclined to post anon in the sexuality section
5) They're trolling54|10|1
I can understand about the pervs, and many other reasons, but when it's something simple, and I see an anon post, it just gets to me.
Yeah, I got ya. It's kind of silly to answer anon to a question like "What's your favorite color?" but everyone has their reasons I suppose
2-4 is so true

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (MN-06) released the following statement, as she introduced legislation today, co-sponsored by Congressman Sean Duffy (WI-07), to approve construction of the proposed, four-lane St. Croix Bridge between Minnesota and Wisconsin:
"For decades a new river crossing has been needed, but the project continues to be stalled due to outlandish lawsuits and bureaucratic delays. Most recently, in October 2010, the National Park Service reversed their support of the project, effectively blocking all construction of the bridge. My bill references the first decision by the National Park Service that favored the bridge project and deemed it consistent with the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.
"I urge my colleagues to support this bill so that the citizens of Minnesota and Wisconsin can safely cross the St. Croix River. These citizens count on their elected officials to recognize the need for infrastructure and my bill responds to their pleas for a new crossing. I look forward to the groundbreaking of the new bridge, and the jobs and positive economic impact it will bring to the region."
Congressman Duffy issued the following statement:
"This is a commonsense piece of legislation that simply clears the path for the St. Croix River Crossing Bridge to be updated in a way that will not only increase safety for commuters, but will ease traffic congestion. This is a plan that has broad support between legislators in both Minnesota and Wisconsin and is widely agreed upon as critical.
"I am proud to co-sponsor this legislation. I look forward to working with my colleagues here in the House to ensure that adequate resources are directed towards the St. Croix River Crossing Project."

Cape Town - Police are looking to question the driver of the minibus taxi in which two people were shot dead on Tuesday.
Lesline Mentor, 26, was shot dead while travelling to work in a taxi on Concert Boulevard in Retreat at around 8.10am. The young mother from Lavender Hill was on her way back to work after maternity leave.
Mentor would have been back at work in March, but returned earlier to support her five-month-old baby girl.
She was a cashier at Pick n Pay Plumstead.
A 30-year-old man, believed to be the owner of the taxi, was also killed in the shooting.
Police spokesman Captain FC van Wyk said they were eager to question taxi driver Ricardo Jacobs.
"Steenberg police are eager to question Ricardo Jacobs, who resides in St Montague Village, in connection with the double murder. We have reason to believe that he can assist us with our investigation. It is believed that Ricardo was the driver of the taxi during the incident."
Anyone with information on Jacobs's whereabouts can contact Warrant Officer Loganathan Chetty on 021 702 9000 or 083 365 9232.

On our honeymoon from Ireland, we decided to splash out on a 3 night stay at Casa Tropicana. We were expecting a luxurious stay for the price we paid. But we had a number of issues which dissappointed us:
1. Our "ocean view". While the view from our room was fab, the fact that anyone staying on our floor, the floor above us or any of the staff could pass our window (as in directly in front of our window) or sit on the shared decking (again directly in front of our window), meant that we did not at any stage open the blinds (as shown in the website photos). So our "ocean view" that we were so looking forward to was redundant.
2. The train - we were told on arrival that there is a train and had to sign a sheet saying we had read that there was a train passing - highly unusual!! Anyway the train is loud - super loud, meaning the windows had to be closed at night. Even with the windows closed, we were woken every time the train passed and did not have a good nights sleep for the 3 nights. On top of that, the fact that there was no air conditioning, meant that leaving the windows closed (to try to block a little of the noise) made the room even warmer, again making it difficult and uncomfortable to sleep.
3. Our booking.com invoice had said there was a private balcony. I understand, now looking at the casa tropicana website that it is stated that it is stated that there is a "common ocean view deck", however our booking invoice had said we had a private deck - this may have been a booking.com problem, but we were very disappointed that we had lost both our ocean view and private deck, which was where we had been really looking forward to on the rest of our trip. I understand that if we had read the detail on the website we would have noticed this, but the photos do suggest that we would have a private balcony.
4. In each of the other hotels we stayed in in California, we were congratulated on our honeymoon and usually upgraded or given a fruit platter or some champagne, which was lovely. While we did not expect this, I had put on the booking form that it was our honeymoon and any special arrangements would be appreciated. It was never mentioned to us that it was our honeymoon by anyone in Casa Tropicana.
5. We were charged the balance of our charge when we arrived at Casa Tropicana. I had an incling that it did not add up correctly and when I checked our invoice (which I luckily had on my phone), I calculated that they had overcharged us by nearly $40
On the other hand, the staff were lovely, the room was comfortable and it was nice to have a supply of water, juice and snacks. If we had paid $200 a night, it would have been lovely, but for any more than that I would expect more.

I opened up about my abusive ex on our 4th date and I broke down to tears and had him promise he won't do anything like that if we were to get into a relationship. I feel so stupid for doing that but the night we spoke via telephone he says he misses me I act emotional, but me and him are gonna work out and that I worry him when I speak that way, but he understands that I am young and I am a woman. How do I cancel off this naughty, needy behavior. I am not going to call him. I am suppose to sleep over at His place this Friday. I do not intend to have sex with him just cuddle and help him clean his damn room is it a bad idea? Then on Saturday we are going to resort to get a massage, swim in the pool then just relax until we get bored and get something to eat is that a good idea
Most Helpful Guy
I think your Saturday sounds good. I think sleeping over on the fifth date is...um questionable but entirely up to you two. As for the unloading on him.
I think that if you have a good guy and a guy who is willing and wanting to hear this stuff it is OK, but it could definitely scare off a lot of men. I think most people know that there are demons/skeletons and dating histories that we'll have to deal with, but if after four dates this comes flooding out in an emotional storm I'd be a little consider that those skeletons are really a big hang-up and I'd wonder if they are really ready to be in a relationship. Nonetheless I personally would listen and try to be supportive and wouldn't end a relationship based on that convo alone however my antennae would be up to see if there is baggage going forward00|00|0

Max Payne (voiced by James McCaffrey) is a fugitive DEA agent and former NYPD detective whose wife Michelle and newborn daughter were killed in connection with Valkyr drug case. Max then goes undercover in the mob, and eventually becomes a one-man-army vigilante waging a personal war on the crime, in a manner reminiscent of the Marvel Comics character Frank Castle (the Punisher). Max ends up killing hundreds of gangsters and conspiracy enforcers while on the run from the police determined on stopping his vendetta against all those responsible for his family's death. He is notable for his complex use of metaphors and wordplay to describe the world around him within his inner monologues, which often contradict his external responses to characters he speaks with. The first game presents the story as retold by Max from his point of view.
Max is presented as a man who has been put into a fatalist situation against his will, recalling a classic element of many film noir movies - the fall guy. Max is very isolated and has a dramatic and stylized sense of reality. He is an extreme introvert and his inner life is largely illustrated through soliloquies describing his feelings about his actions and situation. At the beginning of the game, Max is seen differently, as an extroverted, happily married, smiling man with a bright personality. However, after the murders Max loses his meaning of life, and blindly works toward his only remaining purpose: vengeance. All the while, Payne shows signs of survivor's guilt and makes his situation a paradox - though he considers his life to have ended "in a New York minute", he exhibits a strong desire to live, despite his inner monologue which describes his dark and utterly somber view of the world and his desire to be dead. While desperately wanting to die and see his family again, he also wishes to live and claim his revenge. He is an antihero as he says "I was not one of them, I was no hero". On the other hand, Max is not a morally ambiguous protagonist - he does not kill the cornered Vinnie Gognitti, and tries to get information from the Finito brothers by "playing it Bogart" and not bursting through the door with guns in hand. Max is trying to claim only one thing that is right in his eyes - to avenge his loved ones. However, he has not nullified his feelings - he is taken with Mona Sax first they meet, and befriends Vladimir Lem - a criminal without friends. But this can be judged contrary as well: Max may have latched onto Mona because she let him live and to seek a companion despite his recently deceased wife; and also onto Vlad as he was the enemy of his enemies.
In creation of the Max Payne character, 3D Realms "wanted to develop another strong character that would be the foundation for a new gaming franchise, much like we [3D Realms] had done with Duke Nukem." The titular character of the game was modeled after Sam Lake (Sami Järvi), the writer of the game; Lake also dressed up and played this role for the graphic novel cut-scenes. It is joked that Max had a constipated uncomfortable half-grin, half-sneer expression; this joke is even mentioned in the sequel. For Max Payne 2, however, Lake declined the role, and after extensive casting developers chose actor Timothy Gibbs to be the model for Max Payne.

Watch Motorcycle Stunt Riders Take Over St. Louis in this Amazing, Idiotic Video
Motorcycles are both dangerous and awesome. Motorcycle stunts in a controlled environment are scary and spectacular. Those same stunts on public roads are criminal and almost certain to end in Darwinistic justice.

For many, prolonged loss of power means eventually, the generator goes silent and when that happens, everything from heat to refrigeration to light becomes a challenge.
There are many options, including storing quantities of gasoline or kerosene or using a fireplace or wood stove, but each has its limitations.
Gasoline and kerosene pose a risk of deadly emissions and are highly combustible. You really should not use the former indoors and while the latter can be used in a ventilated area, it is not preferable.
Wood stoves or fireplaces are a safer, but unless you use either regularly, you likely do not have stocked kindling and wood to do it for very long.
In either case, fuel gel is a good alternative. The primary incendiary is Isopropyl alcohol, which means it is not highly combustible, will not splash and does not give off deadly emissions.
Check out the next page to learn how to make and use it.

Amos is a straight Marine who jerked off recently for Sean Cody. During his interview, he politely answered Sean Cody's questions; he endears us with his Southern twang. He likes to show off, which is what brought him to the gay porn site in the first place. He's got a hot body, which he came by in bootcamp, and maintains by following the workout routines he learned in the Marines.
Amos wasn't sure if he wanted to do another video for Sean Cody. It seemed like he wanted to experiment - and maybe he has already - but these military guys are always a bit hesitant. Even now that Don't Ask Don't Tell has been appealed, there's still a stigma about gay sex that needs to be shed, too.
When Amos finally agreed, Sean Cody set up this hot Marine with a massage session to ease into it. While lying on his stomach, hot bubble butt in the air and getting a back rubdown, he could feel Calvin's big, stiffening dick poking him in the side. Amos reached down and wrapped his hand around it. By the time he flipped over, Amos had a raging hard-on. But Calvin continued to rub and tease this horny Marine. This massage got Amos so revved up that he wanted to go all the way. So after a bit of sucking on the massage table, the guys headed into the shower where Amos got that bubble butt fucked for the very first time. I'm betting this straight Marine will be back at Sean Cody exploring his new-found freedom.

Don't miss the pilot. It's the best new crime series of the year, whatever you call it, tabloid TV, exciting TV, real TV. [6 Jan 1989]Newsday Full Review
On the one hand, it's absolutely captivating, raw and unpredictable, a bubbling boiler of excitement rendered in the style of CBS' "48 Hours" and unrivaled by conventional cop dramas in prime time...On the other hand, the camera assumes the disgusting role of hanging judge by prematurely filling the screen with the faces of numerous suspects swept up in drug busts, some of whom may turn out to be innocent or may even go uncharged, for all we know. [7 Jan 1989, p.C1]Los Angeles Times Full Review
Be forewarned: Cops may not be everyone's cup of tea. The language is raw, the emotions intense, and some of the scenes, like the one where a homicide unit fishes a cadaver out of a canal, are definitely not for the squeamish. But give credit to Cops' producers. They didn't want "pretty," and they didn't want Armani. They wanted the real stuff. What they got makes "Miami Vice" look like a cop-out. [7 Jan 1989, p.30]Boston Globe Full Review
More compelling than the general run of fictional drama, and often funnier, sadder and more poignant, Cops at first seems to be an unassembled jigsaw puzzle...This is a documentary being pieced together before our eyes. There is a strong, undeniable element of tabloid TV in Cops, of sensationalism and exploitation. But there is more. There is a picture of the toll this kind of work takes on the human beings who do it. Cops may also make television stars of its subjects.[11 March 1989, p.C-11]San Diego Union-Tribune Full Review
An ugly little glimpse into our hometown community...A cinema-verite, hand-held camera walk on the wild side with the Broward County Sheriff's Office.. A televised tour into (Broward's) heart of darkness...It had real energy. It was tense, taut, a video knuckle sandwich. You were with those cops as they chased fleeing perps, wrestled with muscled smugglers. And you couldn't help but be impressed with the heroism and dedication of the men and women on the streets -- Sheriff Nick 'I Never Met A Camera Angle I Didn't Like' Navarro's grandstanding antics notwithstanding. [Jan 1989]Miami Herald Full Review

Did the 2016 presidential race get you all heated up? Does watching Donald Trump recent appointments despair you enough to feel like you should have just thrown your hat into the ring? If 2016 has stirred a hidden desire for total world domination that lies dormant in you, but you fear you don't have that elusive "presidential look", fear not. Going into 2017, learn how to achieve that statesman swag from the commander-in-chief par excellence himself, Napoleon Bonaparte.
Napoleon dominated Europe for more than a decade while leading France in several successful military campaigns during the Napoleonic wars. He was victorious in many of these and built a large empire that oversaw most of continental Europe until its fall in 1815. His empire and numerous conquests shaped his legacy as one of the most celebrated, albeit controversial, leaders in history.
This portrait by the Italian neoclassical painter, Andrea Appiani, captures Napoleon at the height of his reign, when he was also the president of the Napoleonic Italian Republic. Aside from the soft, wispy locks that part gently to make way for Napoleon's dewy, glowing skin, the luscious brocade military jacket is undoubtedly the centre piece of Appiani's portrait. Intricate gold leaves embroidered on buttery black velvet combine to do the heavy lifting, giving history's most notorious shorty some of that presidential stature.
No need to develop a Napoleonic complex, if you're feeling a little lacking in the stature department. Here are some similar jackets out in shops now that can help with that.
Frolic in all-over gold fronds as you dream of conquering faraway lands with Gucci's Monaco Tropical Jacquard jacket. For I-woke-up-like-this levels of commander cool, try Topshop's Embroidered Kimono Jacket. Feeling like it's just one of those days where you might need a little extra something to make you feel really like you're in the driver's seat? Get your empress on with Dolce & Gabbana's full-length Double Breasted Brocade and Organza Coat. Perhaps you feel that presidential is an attitude and not a style. Who better to help you out than Rei Kawakubo herself, with the Commes des Garcons Floral-brocade Coat. A delicate rose brocade recalls the languorous elegance of centuries past, while the exaggerated shape and amour-like cuffs ensure you're still en garde for any challenge the day may throw at you. Finally, Napoleon was nothing if not a little rock 'n' roll. With a slim, tailored fit and a metallic finish, throw on the 7 For All Mankind Brocade Velvet Blazer to perfect your rock chick look.
However you choose to show 2017 who's boss, tag me on @FashoftheTitans on Instagram to show me how you got the look.

Gaius Petronius Arbiter
-the Arbiter
Petronius was born in Rome during the reign of Emperor Nero. A satirist known for his extravagant lifestyle, Petronius found himself favoured by the Emperor for a short time - a time period in which he penned the Satyricon, a collection of short stories that included the story of a werewolf and a vampire.
His work in the Satyricon fetched the interest of his future sire, and when Petronius tried to committ suicide to avoid the grisly death Nero had in mind for him, the methuselah Mi-ka-il approached him and offered him eternal life. Through undeath, Petronius abandoned his hedonistic tendencies and became a loyal subordinate of his sire, leaving Rome for Constantinople at his behest.
Petronius became the longest serving member of the Quaesitor Tribunal, and worked well with the late Septima Dominica of the Antonians and Symeon of the Obertus to keep order in the city. For more than five hundred years, despite adversity, infighting and the treacherous nature of the Childer of Caine, the Dream prospered. It was when the Iconoclast Movement had been beaten down and Antonius killed that things grew out of control.
When his sire became more and more unstable, Petronius became his majordomo, trying to retain control of the city. Although he was fully conviced of the divinity of his sire, he believed that the adulations of the archangel had to be reigned in, if the Michaelites should remain in power. To this end, he relied more and more on the Lasombra under Magnus, delegating more and more power to them.
His fate following the sacking of Constantinople in 1204 and the end of the Dream is unknown, but it is likely that he faced Final Death in the chaotic events that followed.
- For the real historical figure, you might also check: Petronius
- The book Encyclopaedia Vampirica called him "Titus" instead of "Gaius" (probably due to an editorial mistake).

Onto this week's finds:
This first one is fun because it's about the giant water lilies at Longwood Gardens, which I showed you way back here.
Oh, Naked Juices, you are making me sad.
The prettiest pizza I think I've ever seen.
This one is interesting for several reasons, but you've got to listen to it, because Lake Bell has a great radio voice and can do lots of fun things with it.
Read this. It's interesting and good for you. And good for us, as humans, to listen to other people.
Oh, man. Canning in Alaska is crazy. And, boy, am I an amateur!
A Tucson food bank doing smart work. Some of the comments are interesting (and informative!) too.
Amber Tamblyn and David Cross have a question for you.
How was your week? What are you reading/listening to?

A video has gone viral showing a judge who was presiding over a case get very upset when a defendant showed up to court with no pants. Apparently, she was mistreated in jail and deprived of clothing.
The video shows the judge calling the incident outrageous. She pauses the proceedings to get someone on the phone. She asks for the supervisor responsible for this woman not wearing pants. The woman was in jail without pants for three days.
The defendant told the judge she was refused pants by the corrections officers in charge. The judge asks others in the courtroom if their was anything they could find that the defendant could cover up with.
Because of this woman's ordeal the judge said she was only going to fine her $100 and credit her for time served. The judge appears to vocally express her outrage this woman would be treated like this especially considering it was a first time shoplifting charge. The prosecutor was asking for seventy five days but the judge flat out denied it.
The judge can be seen saying,
"What is this, the twilight zone?! What is happening?
A jail spokesman said,
"This is pretty standard that when individuals are arrested they remain in the clothing they were arrested in. Especially for the first 72 hours.
The defendant was also denied feminine hygiene products. The judge repeats how outrageous it is. I highly doubt that while shoplifting this woman was pantless so that rationale he spewed was ridiculous. Officials are continuing to look into the situation to see why it occurred. Officials later brought the woman a jumpsuit into the court room for her to leave in. Regardless of the crime they committed these people deserve to be treated like human beings and not stray animals.
