Brian Griffin is a fictional character from the animated television series Family Guy, and is voiced by show creator Seth MacFarlane. MacFarlane uses his normal speaking voice for Brian, as opposed to the vocal modifications he makes when voicing other characters in the show such as both Peter and Stewie Griffin, and Glenn Quagmire. In the Larry shorts, MacFarlane provided the same voice as Brian for a dog named Steve, who also had a similar personality. Brian's image has appeared in numerous publications and merchandising for the series.
Family Guy uses a floating timeline in which the characters do not age, and as such the show is always assumed to be set in the current year. In several episodes, events have been linked to specific times, though this timeline is often contradicted in subsequent episodes. Brian has lived with the Griffin family since Peter picked him up as a stray. While he exhibits some typical dog behaviors such as eating garbage and being afraid of the vacuum cleaner, he also possesses various anthropomorphic qualities, such as the ability to speak intelligently and attending college.
Role in Family Guy
Brian's hobbies are mostly reading, eating, writing, and drinking (especially martinis). He wrote a novel, Faster Than The Speed Of Love, which shares many similarities with Iron Eagle and Aces: Iron Eagle III[1] and failed to sell any copies despite having an Oprah's Book Club sticker.[2]
He is also the only one who understands and talks to Stewie on a regular basis, as opposed to other characters who can only understand Stewie to the writers' discretion. Although there are times where Brian and Stewie do not get along, they are depicted as friends throughout the series. Occasionally, Stewie and Brian go on adventures together. These include, Germany circa World War II,[3] traveling back to their home of Quahog Rhode Island,[4] current Europe,[5] and a variety of universes.[6]
Brian has dated Lauren Conrad,[7] Jillian and a middle-aged woman named Rita who he proposes to. In "The Former Life of Brian", it is revealed that Brian has a son he never knew. Though the two initially do not mix well, they end up reconciling over a shared appreciation for marijuana.[8][9][10]
Glenn Quagmire, one of Peter's friends, despises Brian because he sees him as pretentious, hypocritical, judgmental and vain. This all comes out in the episode "Jerome is the New Black". Brian is deeply hurt by Quagmire's revelation.
The episode "Dog Gone", cements how important Brian is to the Griffin family, and made him realize that his existence had meaning to them.
When he was still in college, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane created a cartoon short entitled Life of Larry.[11] The short centered around a middle-aged man named Larry and his anthropomorphic dog Steve.[12] In 1999, when MacFarlane was working for Hanna-Barbara Studios, writing for shows such as Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Laboratory, and Cow and Chicken,[13] he made a sequel to Life of Larry, which Cartoon Network broadcast in 1995.[14] The short caught the eye of 20th Century Fox representatives, who asked him to create a TV series revolving around the characters.[12] MacFarlane received a US$50,000 budget to develop a pilot for the show, which was, as MacFarlane stated in a 2006 interview, " about one twentieth of what most pilots cost".[13]
In three months, MacFarlane created the Griffin family and developed a pilot for the show he called Family Guy.[15] Peter's character was largely based on Larry and Steve would be the main inspiration behind the Brian character.[16] MacFarlane based Peter's voice, which was similar to Larry's.[16]
Brian's design came from Steve the dog from Larry Shorts.[17] Brian was designed as a white Labrador Retriever, and stayed bipedal, and anthropomorphic. Brian's voice is provided by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane,[18][19][20] who also provides the voices of other major characters like Peter, Stewie and Glenn Quagmire, and also those some recurring characters, or guest stars like Tom Tucker, Jake Tucker, Jesus, God, Stan Smith and Roger..[21][22][23] Brian's voice is the original voice of Seth MacFarlane,[19][20] as he is the only character that MacFarlane does not modify his voice to perform. In the Larry shorts, Seth MacFarlane provided the same voice as Brian for a dog named Steve, who had a similar personality.[18][24] MacFarlane said that he knew what kind of voices he wanted for the main characters, so it was easier to do them himself.[19] He stated that with emotional lines, Brian's voice is the hardest to do for him, because there is "no silly voice to hide behind".[25] Brian has had many episodes featured on him as he has developed.[26]
Brian has lived with the Griffin family since Peter picked him up as a stray. Peter is his best friend, despite Brian's superior intelligence. Seth MacFarlane has once described Brian as "a dog who has a wit as dry as the martinis he drinks."[27] Brian is often the voice of reason in the family, frequently reminding Peter how stupid or corrupt his ideas are, although there are several few exceptions, such as in PTV, Brian praises Peter's idea of airing original, uncut, and uncensored television programming to combat against the FCC's policies of censoring out many of America's channels due to their overreacting of the David Hyde Pierce incident at the Emmy Awards.
Brian has a cultured background; he loves opera and jazz, and is vocally talented, being able to sing all four parts to a barbershop quartet simultaneously.[28] He attended Brown University, and is an avid writer. Brian also has aspirations as a novelist, and fleeting mentions of his novel are a running gag on the show.[29][30]
Despite the fact that he is a dog, Brian dates human women regularly. His past love interests have included bulimic, stereotypical "dumb blonde" Jillian Russell (portrayed by Drew Barrymore); Lauren Conrad, real-life star of the reality show The Hills; Tracy Flannigan, the mother of his illegitimate son, Dylan; and Rita, a middle-aged woman whom he proposed to. Other than humans, Brian also dated Carter Pewterschmidt's greyhound Sea Breeze, who is assumed to be pregnant with Brian's puppies, but that the real father turns out to be Ted Turner, as stated in Screwed the Pooch.
Political and religious beliefs
Brian has a liberal political philosophy mirroring MacFarlane's.[31] In the episode "You May Now Kiss The...Uh...Guy Who Receives", Brian goes to extremes to prevent a gay marriage ban proposed by mayor Adam West after his cousin Jasper comes to Quahog to get married to his Filipino boyfriend. Brian is an atheist, something referred to many times throughout the show's run (although he was seen at least once crossing himself in Catholic fashion during the series). Though Brian tries to be conscientious about his racial biases, displays of unconscious racism occasionally escape, for which Brian is usually ashamed.
Similarities to Seth MacFarlane
In 2004, in an interview with The Daily Princetonian, MacFarlane noted his similarities to Brian on Family Guy, revealing, "I have some Brian type issues from time to time — looking for the right person — but I date as much as the next guy."[32] He made a similar statement on the radio show Loveline, on which he frequently appears as a guest. During an interview with KTLA, when asked to whom of the characters MacFarlane relates the most, he replied: "Easily Brian... because he drinks, because he's complex, because he over-analyzes everything; he's a delightfully charming neurotic."[33] In a review of the episode Brian's Got a Brand New Bag, Todd VanDerWerff of The AV Club called Brian "McFarlane's most obvious stand-in".[34]
Reception and cultural influence
Brian appeared in several TV Guide issues.[35][36] In the 1000th issue of Entertainment Weekly, Brian Griffin was selected as the Dog for "The Perfect TV Family."[37] In a review of the episode Dog Gone, Todd VanDerWerff of The AV Club wrote that Brian is Family Guy's best and most developed character, who is "the best possible foil for every other character on the show".[38]
Brian was awarded High Times Magazine's 2009 Stoner of the Year Award due to his pro-cannabis stance the episode "420" from season 7. He was the first animated character to receive the honor.[39]
Alongside t-shirts, Brian has been included in various other Family Guy-related merchandise, including air fresheners, baseball caps, bumper stickers, cardboard standups, refrigerator magnets, key rings, buttons, dolls, posters, figurines, clocks, soapstone carvings, Chia Pets, bowling balls and boxer shorts.[40][41][41][42][43][44]
Family Guy: Brian's Guide to Booze, Broads, and the Lost Art of Being a Man[45][46][47][48][49] {C , a book about Brian's personality and attributes, was released in 2006.[50] The plot sees Brian breaking down and telling his thoughts about what is wrong with men today; as it is his belief that they have "gone all soft" and are now not taking notice of fashion and other mistakes which make him angry. Throughout the book, Brian also discusses his relationship with a dog's master (in this case, Peter.) Brian also speaks about his belief on adult films and their industry, as well as how hard it is for a dog to find a bone.

Central Banks, Trade Unions and Reputation – Is there Room for an Expansionist Manoeuvre in the European Union?
- Authors
- Publication Date
- Source
- Legacy
- Keywords
- Disciplines
It is now a few years since the introduction of the common currency, and Europe is still experiencing high unemployment. The conventional logic attributes this problem to strong trade unions and other flaws in the labour market. This article takes a different approach. Using a game theoretic model we look at the changes that occur if trade unions and the central bank have different options to choose from in a climate of uncertainty. In a singlestage game the most probable outcome is a high unemployment rate as high as the NAIRU. However, there is also a slight chance that a central bank might take the risk associated with employment expansion (if trade unions cooperate the risk pays off). Moreover, results change dramatically if the game is repeated. This allows for effects on the trade union's reputation. It can be shown that this, in turn, improves the likelihood of employment expansion.

So basically, If you had planned to go out with someone (2nd date) and they where meant to call to confirm details with you and they never did (although its possible they thought you where meant to be calling them), would you chase after them or leave it?
Most Helpful Guy
If yu weren't clear about who was going to do the planning, then go ahead and contact them. o reason to lose someone because of you both being shy about taking the lead.
There's a chance , of course, that they didn't WANT a second date, and didn't misunderstand you at all..bt you can tell right away if that's true, just by what they say when you contact them, and the WAY they say it. You can tell if they are just makikng excuses, or really didn't think the ball was in their court for the date.11|00|0

Distant memories of beatings and torture spilled into a courtroom in London on Thursday. Four elderly Kenyans are suing the British government, claiming they were abused at the hands of British authorities during an uprising in Kenya in the 1950s. The four are among a group of thousands who were detained — a group that also included Barack Obama's grandfather.
It was a time of rebellion against colonial rule. The British and their supporters were the targets. The Mau Mau killed thousands, prompting Britain to declare a state of emergency in 1952. More than 100,000 Kenyans were hauled into detention camps, suspected of being rebels.
Wambugu Wa Nyingi, who was held in one of those camps, said one day he and others ordered them to start digging.
"When we were digging, they started beating us," Nyingi said. "They were beating us with huge sticks and I lost consciousness. When I came to, I saw that all my colleagues, 11 of them, were dead."
Nyingi was held for nine years without charge. He claims that during that time he witnessed British officers take part in beatings and torture.
"One morning there came a battalion of white officers together with black people, and they began to take people out behind where they had been locked up, and they started clobbering them to death," Nyingi said. "A number of people were castrated; others had their testicles smashed with a club. Fourteen people died on the spot," he said.
Nyingi is one of four Kenyans, all in their 70s and 80s, who have traveled to London to press their case. Their lawyer Martyn Day said today they deserve justice.
Trying to reach resolution
"This is a case not about re-opening the old wounds," Day said. It's "about individuals who are alive today and who have suffered the most terrible, terrible things at the hand of the British. Now is a time for us to try and reach some sort of resolution to that and we hope the court today, over the next few days, gives us a positive answer."
In court Thursday, a lawyer for the British government admitted that torture and killings did take place. But he argued that since there was no explicit law authorizing the violence, the government isn't responsible.
Newly released government documents may tell a different story, though, according to David Anderson, a professor of African politics at Oxford University, who has examined many of the files.
"Senior members of the Colonial Office in London did know what was happening," Anderson said. "Senior legal officials in London did to some extent sanction the use of coercive force, and also at cabinet level, the Secretary of State for the Colonies certainly knew of the excesses that were taking place."
Most of those who died during the uprising were black Kenyans, killed by Mau Mau rebels when they refused to join the fight. Tim Symonds, who worked for the Kenyan Police Reserve in the 1950s and saw the violence up close, points out that no one from the Mau Mau has apologized to those victims or offered compensation.
"Why isn't someone saying to these Mau Mau, you want an apology from the British government? Okay, fine," Symonds said. "But why don't you for a change apologize to the ten thousand of your own tribe you slaughtered?"
Symonds agrees that those who were abused in the camps should be compensated, but he still thinks it was right to crush the insurgents.
"They really got what they deserved," Symonds said. "I'm really quite tough on this. If I had a chance again in the same situation, them killing people, would I go out and kill them again as I did? Yes sir, I would."
Retired Archbishop Desmond Tutu is urging the British government to settle with the victims.
"This is not a legal issue. It is a moral issue," Tutu said. "Even if they were to win the legal battle, they would leave an enormous moral blot on their record."
It's a sentiment echoed by Oxford professor David Anderson.
"At a time like this when members of our Foreign Office and ministers talk about potential war crimes prosecutions in Libya, they should also look to their own back yard and to things that went on under the British flag," Anderson said.
It may not be that simple for the British government.
If it loses, the case could pave the way for thousands of others who claim they also suffered under colonial rule in Kenya and other nations.

Throughout the past month I've been looking through Danny's wikia page. Many players felt that Danny was arguably the morally right person to choose, I am making this blog post to prove otherwise.
Throughout Vince's story you get backgrounds on both charcters that you are chained with. Justin is a network marketer that orchestrated a pyramid scheme in order to get millions. Danny's background on the otherhand is rather limited and only his crime of raping a young girl is revealed.
When further conversation between the cons insue both have different opinions on honesty. When put on the spot Danny spilled everything to the court while Justin lied and said he didn't know what he was doing. But when on the bus Justin was completely truthful and Danny shied away from his crime and told Justin that "It ain't like that." So it seems that when put on the spot Danny is more likely to be honest yet will lie to Vince and Justin when no legal pressure is applied to him.
Another reason as to why Danny wasn't the morally right decision was his impulsivness. Danny was revealed to act solely on instinct rather than thinking or being cautious. Danny seems to be the guy that is small minded who would never think outside of the box. Danny's impulsivness caused him to rape a girl without looking at the bigger picture.
In concluson, I am not trying to say that Justin was any better, but he was just as bad for different reasons. The choice of which who you want to travel with isn't based on morals or goodness of the individual it's the type of evil you want to accompany you on your journey through the zombie apocalypse.

The officials of the supplementary medical service have once again initiated an island wide trade union action.
Accordingly, medical research technical scientists, pharmacists, radiology technicians and physiotherapists are engaging in this trade union action.
Previously too they initiated a trade union action based on several demands.
However, it was suspended temporarily under the intervention of the Minister of Health Maithreepala Sirisena.
The Secretary of the Supplementary Medical Services Trade Union Joint Federation Saman Jayasekara stated that it was decided to stop emergency services at all hospitals.
However, the Ministry of Health issued a communiqué yesterday.
This communiqué issued by the Ministry of Health pointed out that measures were taken to fulfil all their demands.
The Ministry of Health requested the Supplementary Medical Services Trade Union Joint Federation to engage in their services as usual without inconveniencing the general public.

Not too long ago, a report had claimed that HTC's upcoming flagship handset wouldn't be called HTC One (M9). Now, new rumors suggest the company's flagship phone, which is currently codenamed "HTC Hima" might go on sale, starting March 2015.
Today, @Upleaks has posted a document which appears to contain information about the upcoming Hima, as well as other devices slated to launch next year.
Recommended: Top 5 Smartphones Expected to Arrive Start of 2015
The leaked document shows that the HTC Hima will be widely available around the world. In fact, all major network providers in the US would offer the high-end device.
Earlier this week, it was first revealed that HTC's next-generation flagship phone wouldn't be called as One (M9). Reportedly, the device is expected to come with a 5-inch QHD screen, a quad-core Snapdragon 810 processor, 3GB of RAM and a 20.7MP rear-facing camera.
Aside from the HTC Hima, the struggling handset maker is reportedly working on a large size version of its next-gen flagship. To be called as the HTC Hima Ultra, it will likely to be released by AT&T and Verizon in the U.S. There's no information available yet to confirm on whether the device would offer a massive screen or not.
The leaked document also revealed a possible Windows version of the HTC Hima. Reportedly, this upcoming Windows variant of the Hima flagship could flaunt a 5-inch FHD display.
Moreover, we could possibly see the second-generation RE camera, Butterfly 3 and a couple of tablets, too. One of the tablets is "based on Nexus 9, and may be running HTC Sense" UI.
If the leaked document proves true, HTC has a couple of killer devices lined up for the next fiscal year. Stay tuned to GizBot for more updates!

Ben Affleck Lands at LAX Looking Layered Up and Hot
Ben Affleck chatted on his cell phone as he exited LAX yesterday. He's back in CA following a busy few weeks of traveling around the country with stops in Washington DC and Atlanta. His East Coast visit included a hearing on behalf of women and children in Congo in front of Congress and an appearance on GMA. Ben's trip to Georgia was all about family, as he visited Jennifer Garner and their daughters on the set of The Odd Life of Timothy Green. Jennifer has been out of the spotlight while in the South to work on the movie and was just spotted in character for the first time last week, but she'll soon be back on the red carpet to premiere Arthur ahead of its April 6 release.

NTF, Shape Up America! Urge Family Meals 'Upgrade'
In response to First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" initiative to reduce childhood obesity, National Turkey Federation (NTF) and Shape Up America! have launched "Simple Steps to Upgrade Your Diet."
In response to First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" initiative to reduce childhood obesity, National Turkey Federation (NTF) and Shape Up America! have launched "Simple Steps to Upgrade Your Diet," a public education campaign emphasizing that small changes in meal preparation can improve a family's diet. The campaign features the Meal Upgrade Calculator, an online tool that demonstrates how families can improve the nutritional content of their favorite meals by changing the type of protein, the side dishes and even the condiments.
Offering breakfast, lunch and dinner options, the calculator allows consumers to select a number of possible "upgrades," starting by changing the meat to turkey, a nutrient-rich, low-fat and low-calorie protein source. According to recent research from Shape Up America!, using the calculator just to change the meat in a meal to turkey results in an average savings of 108 calories per eating occasion. Calculating the impact over the course of a year, the Shape Up America! estimated a savings of 6,408 calories a year, or almost 2 pounds in extra weight if consumers use lean turkey instead of another meat protein once a week at alternating meal occasions such as breakfast or lunch or dinner. This change also led to an average reduction in the total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol consumed by 59 percent, 71 percent and 28 percent, respectively.
Shape Up America! additionally estimated the potential health savings when families ate the same lower-fat turkey version of a meat-based meal on a weekly basis. Using lasagna as the example, the researchers found a savings-per-meal occasion of 239 calories and an annual savings of 12,428 calories, or 3.6 pounds a year. The group then calculated an average reduction in the total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol ingested by 66 percent, 73 percent and 22 percent, respectively.
"The message from the First Lady and all leading public health officials is that all of us have a role to play in preventing childhood obesity, starting in our own homes," noted Barbara J. Moore, president and CEO of Clyde Park, Mont.-based Shape Up America!, which was founded in 1994 by former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop to raise awareness of the health effects of obesity and to educate the public, health professionals and policymakers on proven ways to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. "And that is the reason for this new campaign — to give consumers the tools to make simple 'upgrades' in meal preparation that will reduce the calories and fat in the family diet."
"The calculator brings to life what we in the nutrition community have always known — that turkey is a positive and simple step consumers can take to lower the fat and calories in their diet while not making tradeoffs in taste and convenience," added Hilary Thesmar, senior director of scientific and regulatory affairs at Washington-based NTF. "Not only is turkey highly nutritious, but the variety of turkey cuts and products available today can [also] be incorporated into any meal, which means cooking delicious, convenient and healthy meals is easier than ever."
Among other possible "upgrades" are opting for alternative side dishes, choosing higher-fiber breads and substituting other condiments. With each "upgrade," the calculator shows what these easy changes are worth in calories, fat and saturated fat saved.
The Meal Upgrade Calculator currently offers 24 common meals, including scrambled eggs and bacon, hot dogs, spaghetti and meatballs, and pizza. NTF and Shape Up America! will add new meals to the calculator on a continuing basis, in addition to new recipes and cooking tips. The calculator is also being promoted widely to nutrition educators and health professionals, who can use the new tool to advise families on how to eat better.
The Meal Upgrade Calculator is available on the Web sites of both organizations at www.EatTurkey.com and www.shapeup.org.

Client Alerts
Client Alert
Imagine your growing company suffers a devastating explosion at your facility and your insurance company fails to timely pay for the repairs necessary to safely re-open your facility and get you back in business. With each passing day that you are waiting on the insurance company to assist you in restoring your facility you are losing customers, employees, lost profits and other related damages. Eventually these mounting losses cause your business to go bankrupt. Can you recover the lost profits and related consequential damages from your insurance company, even after you have gone out of business?
Many courts have acknowledged that lost profits damages are difficult to recover and are allowed only if the damages are proven to a reasonable degree of certainty. This difficulty makes sizeable settlements with insurers in such cases relatively rare.
In December 2016, attorneys at Plews Shadley Racher & Braun successfully secured an insurance recovery in the amount of $6,500,000 for client G&S Metals Consultants, Inc., for lost profits and the consequential damages flowing from the insurance company's failure to timely pay for the necessary repairs to keep its policyholder in business. G&S Metal Consultants, Inc. v. Continental Casualty Company, Case No. 3:09-CV-493 JD (N.D. Ind.).
G&S Metals, a small family-owned aluminum recycler located in Wabash, Indiana, had an explosion at one of its two manufacturing plants, which caused massive damage and one fatality. G&S Metals immediately put the insurer on notice. While the insurer acknowledged coverage for the loss, the insurance payments were not timely delivered during the next two years and the plant was not restored to its pre-explosion condition by the insurer until several months after its policyholder filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and its assets were liquidated.
G&S hired Chris Braun and his team at PSRB, which has the largest policyholder coverage practice in Indiana, to pursue the insurance company for the extensive damages it had suffered. A lawsuit was filed against the insurer for lost business income and consequential damages totaling the loss of the entire company. The lost profits claim was made even more challenging because the explosion occurred at a new plant that had only been operating for about a year. Over the course of several years the case involved production of hundreds of thousands of pages of business records detailing the company's historical business operations and profitability, numerous depositions of both fact and expert witnesses from across the country, and extensive motion practice, including defending against an aggressive counterclaim the insurer filed against its policyholder. After defeating the insurance company's various motions to get the case dismissed, the case was set for a jury trial in May 2017 and, subsequently settled in mediation.
Businesses buy insurance to protect them against the unexpected and to provide the funding necessary to cover losses so the business can get back on its feet after an accident. When the insurance payments are wrongfully denied or when they are slow in coming it can have devastating consequences on the business. PSRB has litigated many of the cases that make Indiana one of the most favorable jurisdictions in the country for policyholders seeking insurance coverage for their losses. For more information about this case, or to consult with one of the attorneys on this team, contact Chris Braun, Thao Nguyen, or Jeff Claflin.

How Long Is Gumpaste Good For?
Decorating By sweetcravings Updated 12 Nov 2009 , 2:07pm by sweetcravings
I made some back in April I believe. I had it vacuum sealed in my fridge ever since. Is it still good to use?
Ok so i just found some info online that says it's good in the fridge for around six months...so does this mean it will make people sick if used longer than that or is it just a texture type thing?? I wouldn't want to make anyone sick if i placed flowers made from this gumpaste on a cake.
It's fine to use.
Gumpaste that has gone bad starts to break down. You will know if it's gone bad when you look at it in the bag.
Thanks so much. As i was posting it i was thinking about Indydebi's posting about 'are cakes really so fragile'..i didn't know if i was being overly cautious or reasonable with my concern it would no longer be good to put on a cake. The thought of making people sick scares me. Especially since the gumpaste flowers will be on a buttercream cake and likely to soften a little when placed on it.
The gumpaste looked fine. It was a little hard so i softened it in the microwave and kneaded it for a bit and it was back to normal. No smell either. Tell me, what does it look like when it starts to break down.?..just for future reference. I don't work with it often.
My neices always want to eat the flowers,and i wouldn't want to make 'em sick.
I've only made gumpaste once, but the recipe I used had raw egg in it. How can something with raw egg be good for 6 months? I threw mine out after a month. I'm actually getting ready to make a new batch and am going to just make a half batch so I don't waste so much. Is there a gumpaste recipe that does not have raw egg, or anythng perishable for that matter?
Not only does it look bad, it smells bad too. I had some that I forgot to refrigerate and it was gross and stank.
If you put it in the freezer, it will last for years.
Barbaranne, i'm guessing it has something to do with the amount of sugar in the recipe. Sugar has a preserving quality from what i've heard in previous discussions.
Good to know tracy. Mine didn't smell like anything. Looked just like i made it yesterday. Only noticable difference was it was pretty hard. Still nice and white.

By Helsinki standards, a cheap and basic hotel. I liked the cooking facilities of the hotel, which I used a few times when I didn't feel like eating restaurant food. The management of the hotel should really consider adding another elevator or installing one with higher speed - it was a hassle at times waiting for the elevator, which would always be full during peak hours (mornings/evenings). The sauna downstairs was a added bonus - relaxed there every day. Overall, very good experience.

Congressman Joe Courtney and Andrew Gibson, CEO of Chester-based Aerocision--an aerospace engine parts manufacturer--today applauded the Obama Administration's announcement of the next key steps in rebuilding the nation's export controls. Gibson participated in a trade mission hosted by Rep. Courtney and the U.S. Department of Commerce to the United Kingdom in 2011.
Through the trade missions he has conducted with Connecticut companies, Courtney has seen firsthand the challenges small and mid-sized defense and aerospace manufacturing firms face in attempting to do businesses abroad. Too often, the complexity and cumbersome bureaucracy of today's outdated system regulating the oversea sale of sensitive military parts prevents businesses from seeking export opportunities. The reform is meant to ease the flow of exports to U.S. allies, which would allow American companies to better compete in the global marketplace, grow their business and bolster our economy.
"Over the past six years, I have worked to connect dozens of small and mid-sized businesses from eastern Connecticut with export opportunities across the globe," said Congressman Courtney. "While many of those new relationships have opened new markets and led to growth at home, too often--particularly in the defense industry--businesses ran into road blocks and bureaucratic red tape that choked progress before it even began. Today's announcement is a positive step toward correcting that problem through long-overdue reform of our nation's Cold War era export control rules. It will create new growth opportunities for American businesses abroad and bolster not just job creation, but innovation in eastern Connecticut."
"Our exports of turbine engine parts to Europe have doubled since the UK trade mission with Congressman Courtney, resulting in 10 new high-skilled wage jobs, an expansion of 15,000 feet and a dozen brand new CNC machines," said Andrew Gibson, Aerocision CEO. "The downside is the expensive administrative cost of exporting product outside our shores. There is a clear need to protect American technology; however, the commercial parts we manufacture are not unique. Not streamlining the licensing rules, especially with friendly countries, is akin to adding a freeway where the cart-path used to be, and yet maintaining the same 15-oxen-per-hour speed limit."
Congress now has 30 days to review the modifications, which include revision to category 8 (aircraft), the creation of category 19 (turbines), and a variety of new management mechanisms, before the final rules will be published.

Great Product!
I bought the DP a week ago and it took less then 3 days for it to arrive!!
installed it, perfect fit and now my car sounds even bettter!!!!!!!! i would recommend this DP to anyone!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the great service!!!!! will buy from Import Racing again!!!
- One of my first mods, and what a great choice it was. Kinda wish i went catless though (want to shoot flames); Great fit and quality product. Still shiny and like new looking after 2 years + being on the car.
Check part number
- So I am not sure when they made the change but I know my 2011 Sti sedan no longer fits the same downpipe as the 2007. The location is pretty much the same but one is longer than the other.
Too short for my 2011 sedan
- So i bought my invidia cbe q300 and this downpipe. We first installed the cbe with no issue. Today i decided to take my car to the shop and have my dp put in which cost me $90 per hour. After that they said it was about 4-5 inch short so idk if they did something wrong. So pls someone let me know or they might have just shipped the wrong one. $500 aint cheap either so im hoping i can get a different one
- I have a 2011 sti sedan and have both of the products you have. I installed them both at my friends garage with no fitment issues... so either someone is giving you the run around at that shop or they are just that dumb that they can not install a dp :); There is a dp holder that is just a random piece of metal on the bottom side that has a notch in it to hold up the dp. if it is not lined up properly, that may be why they think its to short lol

I am currently looking to work with various photographers, shooting a variety of styles of work in order to figure out what I enjoy most. So far in my modelling career I have done mostly promotional and brand modelling but am looking to get more into fashion/editorial style shoots.
I am not willing to nude full frontal nude work, but implied and semi-nude may be possible based on your experience. These types of shoots are only available on a paid assignment basis.

Chicken Feet Are Great!
I know a lot of people have all kinds of mind boggling attitudes towards chicken feet.. I too had no interested in them what so ever, before I traveled to Shanghai in China. There everyone seems to eat them, as a snack or at the restaurants even at night. I think it's not just interesting food, but delicious as well. We should use all the parts of a chicken to be really thankful to animals. And I am, really thankful for this great recipe too! Black bean sauce, is probably the most classic one and a sure winner at the dinner table. Best regards, Rafel Barros, http://bit.ly/1joJuQt

Chicken feet
Hi Annie- Have been looking at chicken feet in my local Asian market for quite some time, but was never sure what to do with them. Found your recipe online, and made these last night. They were wonderful...sweet, salty, sticky, messy, messy, messy. Loved them. To anyone thinking of doing these, pay attention to the warnings about frying! I squeezed, dried with paper towels, and even put them under a fan on a baking sheet on the kitchen counter to dry even further, and still got splattered! A splatter shield on the pot helped a little, but the gloves and glasses were lifesavers. Served them as a side dish to Bum Bo Hue (yes, I spent the whole afternoon cooking!) and we were Happy-Happy. Thank you for all you do, Love your site- Tunalou

Chicken feet with black bean sauce
Hi Annie, thanks for your easy to follow recipes, but there's one thing needs to be confirmed about the pressure cooker. On YouTube you tell us to be careful when opening the lid of the pressure cooker and we should place the pressure cooker under "cold water", but on this page you mention that the pressure cooker should be placed under "hot water", but I believe you mean cold water. Thank you very much for your delicious recipes.

My Favorite Chicken Feet Recipe!
Hi Annie,Thank you for sharing this great recipe.It's simple, yet a very savory dish to enjoy the unique texture of chicken feet.I introduced this recipe to some of my friends and it was aways a success.The last time I prepared the recipe, I forgot to fry the feet prior to pressure cook them and although the dish was good, it wasn't as good as when they were fried first.I am currently cooking a batch and this time I din't forget!The added brown sugar at the end is a very nice touch and enliven the dish.Well done Annie!Claude

Chicken Feet
Wondering, I have instant pot pressure cooker. My timer does not start until cooker comes up to temperature which could take 10 minutes or so do. So should I reduce the 20 minutes pressure cook time to 10 minutes?

The Barcelona veteran fell awkwardly during his side's clash with Benfica and left the field immediately, sparking concerns he may miss the Clasico against Real Madrid
In the 77th minute, Puyol took a fall and landed awkwardly on his arm. He was stretchered off the pitch after players from both teams called to the Barcelona sideline for immediate assistance.
Puyol was taken to the hospital in Lisbon and his return is unknown.
The loss of Puyol for extended time would be a major blow to Barcelona's back line, which is already without Gerard Pique due to a foot injury.
Barcelona remains perfect through two Champions League games after cruising past the Portuguese side in matchday two. The club meets rival Real Madrid in La Liga play on Sunday.

text: Journalism has been central to my interests for all of my adult life. Reporting for a national newspaper, a metro paper and several small community papers provided a great education in the ethics of giving citizens information. The subject followed me easily into my teaching at the University of Washington.

My book Covering Violence is a study of the ways journalists report on traumatic events as well as a blueprint for ethical reporting about those who suffer violence.

How I Salvaged Grainy Sugarshack Recipe
Decorating By pinkbox Updated 16 Dec 2009 , 7:55pm by cakelass
First off... let me say I love her icing. When it behaves
Yes it has moments of temper tantrums... but after much experimentation and a few ruined batches... I set out to see WHAT on EARTH was going on!
After a few grainy batches... (one I froze in the deep freezer because Im cheap and figured the kids could play with it) I found... TADAH!
I can get it back to the right consistency if I started throwing in Hi-Ratio bit by bit!!... until it was as smooth as silk
I noticed... when the icing was grainy... it was very sweet too. Hmm.
I took a VERY grainy batch out of my freezer... threw in the Hi-Ratio... and TADAH!!! It worked again!!
So hope this helps someone... as throwing out a batch of this size can be costly.
If you follow her recipe to the letter, it is perfect! I used Alpine hgh ratio forever, and even just having the different brand of shortning made a difference. Once I switched to Sweetex - it is PERFECT each and every time - and even if it sets for a week, NO air bubbles at all. I LOVE IT!
I just started using sugarshack's recipe and have used Harris Teeter brand shortening with good results. That is good for those of us in the Virginia/North Carolina areas.
i have had my sugarshack bc turn out chalky/gritty 4 times now in the last 2 years and i blame it on a bad bag of ps because i turned around and made a whole new batch and the only difference was a different bag of ps (i buy it in 4lb bags from BJ's wholesale club). I even wrote to Dominio's about the issue--never heard back from them as of yet. yes, extremely frustrating/expensive to have to dump 5qt mixing bowl of bc into the trash!!!
so pinkbox you say just add more hi ratio to the gritty bc and it will smooth out????? i hope that i do not have to ever test this out but thank you for posting this
Oh, I though I was the only one that had the gritty problem. For ages now I have been making buttercream with no problem but my last few batches have been gritty and thrown out.
Like pinkbox I made a batch last week and didn't have the heart to throw it out so I too popped it in the freezer for the kids.
I took it out the other day whipped it up and it was perfect!!

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed summary judgment in Warner Bros' favor on the We Are Marshall copyright infringement and breach of contract case. This is the case in which Deborah Novak and John Witek made a documentary film about the Marshall University football team and plane crash called Ashes To Glory, and then sued Warner Bros alleging that that We Are Marshall was based on their film. The decision reaffirms that historical facts are not protected by copyright, and that "the only concrete or articulable similarities between Ashes to Glory and We Are Marshall consist of unprotectible scenes a faire, and historical facts, which, like all facts, whether scientific, historical, biographical or news of the day may not be copyrighted and are part of the public domain available to every person."
Appeals Court Sides With Warner Bros On 'We Are Marshall' Copyright Infringement
5 Comments
What a silly lawsuit.
Ashes to Glory, which was produced for a local PBS, wasn't much of a film. In fact–the Amazon review says the doc. was made to tie-in with the feature!
This is a GREAT decision! For a while there, I was upset that the English courts were showing us Americans how to deal with idiots who thought they could copyright history – ala the 'Holy Blood, Holy Grail' fools who sued Dan Brown and got righteously smacked down by the English courts. Now it's time for American courts to show the same common sense. Artists do NOT copyright history simply because they may be the first to write about it or film it. History belongs to the world.
Raises the question: why buy/sell life rights?
Now can we please have a decision about what happens when a studio or producer turns down a writer's fact-based script and then generates its own script based on the same elements?

Description & PreventionRub your feet the wrong way with the wrong shoes long enough, and they'll respond by growing corns or calluses--extra layers of hard, dry skin that help protect pressure points on the foot. Some people, for example, develop cone-shaped corns between their toes, where bones rub together. Others, especially those with high arches, develop a sheet of calluses that may cover a part, or the whole ball, of the foot. And calluses or corns are common where shoes rub against bony prominences. If a corn or callus grows thick enough to press on nerves, it can hurt.
TreatmentHere's what doctors advise to help stop the pain.
You may unsubscribe at any time.
Soak, then rub. Soften corns or calluses by soaking your feet in plain lukewarm water for 5 or 10 minutes. Then use a pumice stone or a synthetic abrasive pad, available at drugstores, to rub off dead skin a little at a time. "I recommend the new synthetic spongelike pumice pads, which contain abrasive material and can be wetted with water and liquid soap and used in the bath or shower," says Kathleen Stone, DPM, a podiatrist in private practice in Glendale, AZ. Note: If you have diabetes, decreased sensitivity, or decreased circulation, check with a podiatrist before you attempt this, says Cheryl Weiner, DPM, a podiatrist in Columbus, OH, and president of the American Association for Women Podiatrists.
When to See a DoctorIf your corn or callus pain persists despite self-care, see a podiatrist. She can trim the corn or callus and perhaps prescribe orthotics (shoe inserts) that take the pressure off that area of your foot. If you have diabetes, or if you have diminished sensation or decreased circulation in your feet, it's wise to see a podiatrist for any foot problem.Tags: beautyCopyright © 2017 Rodale Inc.
