If you've got a family pack of leg quarters sitting in your refrigerator, you probably have a family that is ready to devour them, too. Leg quarters represent an appreciable portion of meat of a chicken, including the drumstick, thigh and part of the back. Still, it's not always easy to find a topping for them that appeals to young and grown-up tastes. Try one of two sure-fire crowd-pleasers for the leg quarters and serve up a hearty meal that makes a grand presentation on a dinner plate.
Things You'll Need
- Package of leg quarters (rinsed and patted dry)
- Seasoning mixture
- Bowl
- Baking sheet
- Nonfat cooking spray
- Tongs
- Instant-read thermometer
Mix a taco-flavored seasoning mix for your leg quarters. Combine some taco seasoning, minced garlic and some lemon or lime juice in a small bowl. Sprinkle in some cumin or red pepper flakes, if younger taste buds can handle the heat. Rub the mixture over the chicken quarters and place them on a baking sheet sprayed with nonfat cooking spray. Alternatively, combine some dry ranch dressing mix, all-purpose baking mix, salt, pepper and paprika in one bowl and a few blended eggs in another. Dip the chicken quarters in the egg, then cover them in the ranch mix and set the chicken on a sprayed baking sheet.
Let the chicken quarters sit at room temperature for up to 10 minutes to absorb the flavors. Or you can refrigerate them, covered, for as long as eight hours before you cook them.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees, or set your grill to a medium flame. Bake the chicken for about 35 minutes in the oven or for about 25 minutes on the grill. Turn the quarters at least once with tongs, repositioning them so that the each quarter in the large family pack gets prime time in the warmest part of your oven or grill.
Check the chicken's internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer. It should register at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit to be safe, according to federal guidelines. Check several pieces of chicken, all in the meatiest region, to ensure that they are fully cooked. Add cooking time if the chicken hasn't reached safe temperature.
Tips & Warnings
- Get into the family spirit of a family pack of chicken by encouraging your family or guests to assemble accompaniments for this meaty dish. Serve shredded cheese, tomatoes and guacamole with the taco-flavored chicken and creamy ranch dressing and celery sticks with the ranch-flavored quarters. Corn-on-the-cob will complement either dish.

Springform Pan For Regular Cakes?
Decorating By Sherri2012 Updated 13 Sep 2012 , 1:50am by Sherri2012
I have never used a springform pan before and someone gave me some nice ones today in different shapes. Can I use them to bake a WASC cake in? What do people usually make in springform pans? Just cheesecake?
Thanks for helping.
I use the mini ones to make smash cakes and tasting cakes. I think they're great. You can line the bottom with parchment paper if you're worried it will seep but mine never do. If you are using large ones, you will definately need flower nails because I think the larger springforms are deeper than 2 inches.
I use my springform pans for regular cakes all the time. I like the odd sizes. Mine have never leaked but they're good quality. That being said, I wrap them in foil and put them on a baking sheet because there's always that first time .
I love baking in them. I bake upto 10" round with no challenges whatsoever. I line the bottom to be sure and always turns out great!
I only use springform pans and have several sizes ranging from 4" to 12" and have never had an issue. I don't line mine either and have never had one leak. I think they are so much nicer to get cakes out of than regular pans!
Wow, thanks a lot for your replies. I never got notifications that there were replies, so I am so sorry my thank you is this late!

I mean, what kind of art do you really put in a kitchen? I've seen plenty of pictures of fruit bowls in my day, but I'd rather see fresh fruit than stale paintings. For a fresh look, purchase these Metal Flatware Silhouettes. Your wall color will seep through the piece, for a kitschy kitchen you'll love to show off.
I like this stainless steel flatware set. Its a bit comical.
I got this flatware set about 1 year ago. It is so freaking awesome! The red color is a very true red and goes with a variety of red shades that all of my red kitchen accessories tend to be. Very durable, too.Added 9 Years Ago from Bed Bath and Beyond

Whether she is flat or not?

Whether she is flat or not?
Depends on the environment. Crop tops aren't always appropriate.
Have an opinion?
Of course we do
Almost always prefer nicer, more covered clothing. Doesn't leave much to the imagination and they just sort of put me off a bit
If she has small breasts it looks good, but if she has large breasts it looks bad.
I don't understand why breast size would matter lol
To me, different clothes look better or worse by the body shape. Kind of like how different hair styles look good or bad based on face shape. Just my thoughts anyways.
Lol it's cool I understand
yeah we do
yes love it!!!
i don't mind it depends how it looks on the individual girl
She needs to be flat. Fat guys don't look good in muscle shirts
You really need to show pictures when you ask things guys have no clue about. What is a crop top?
All the guys that are commenting except you know what a crop top is. Look it up on google if you don't know.
Men don't wear them, they shouldn't know
Men don't wear lip stick but they know what that is. I think the only man who doesn't know what a crop top is, is you. & I repeat look it up.
They like when I'm wearing crop tops

Hello my dear friends! I'm lazy as hell so this is my first blog in 10 months. That's why I'm a level 5. Personally, I think I deserve a level 99, but I'm biased.
Anyways, I'm here to write about AMC and women. AMC makes terrible women characters. They are often very unlikable. The Walking Dead has Lori and Andrea, while Breaking Bad has Skylar. I hate all three of them. Many fans agree with me too. Just look at the comments on a review of any AMC show, and there will likely be slander. Even The Killing's Lindon isn't very likable, and she's the main protagonist! She's bland and moody, and her partner keeps the show running. Mitch Larson, Rosie Larson's mother, was equally terrible.
However, there are some good characters in the respective show. Maggie comes to mind, along with numerous females from Mad Men. These characters aren't moody and irrational, and they aren't acting like they're on their period all the time either. They act like normal! Crazy, isn't it?
That concludes my short blog, but it's almost 11:00 and I have PT tomorrow, so I need some shut eye. I hope you enjoyed this, and I hope you have a good week. I'll see you on the far side.
By the way, Andrea isn't that hot.

Another summer day..
So today was like any other summer day. I slept in until 12:00. I ate breakfast and then my mom my sister and i went to target, sallys, and giant eagle. After that we ran to my sisters elementary school to pick her up and we ran over to the DMV to get our passport pictures updated.
Of course, nothing can be easy for the Stanziano's. The first problem, the line. We waited for a good 20 minutes and thats a while at a place like this. So we finally get to our turn and look at that problem number two: They only take cash, and of course we don't have any. But look...there is an ATM machine right over there. Problem number three: the ATM is declining the card. So after about 10 minutes of trying to figure that out we finally pay, get our pictures taken, and get out.
Next stop, brothers antique shop. Nothing exciting there. We look around, gigi breaks a bed, we buy a door, and we leave. When we get home, me nat and Gigi get our bathing suits on and head to the pool. After swimming for a few hours, we head home. But whats a summer night without hanging with friends. So around 8:00 i head to my friend marys. With 9 kids, there is always excitement there. We eat, do nails, eat, clean, eat, and watch movies. Just another summer day. sorry this blog was bad it's like 3:30am right now. well bye for now! Belle

So if there's a guy you know from somewhere that you get along with fairly well and you're pretty sure he's interested as well, do you ever ask them out?
I know it's a lot more common for guys to be the ones asking girls out, but out of curiosity I'm wondering if any girls are the ones who ask out?

i prefer to choose that be chosen. i know why I'm asking. i don't know his intention, and often guys don't know why they want, or they pretend to want something they don't want, or not want something they do want. I'm just very down to earth and honest about my intentions and interests. i am careful to know exactly why I'm doing things before i do them. I do not find this to be the case with most guys. Anyhow i enjoy the feeling of going after what i want. success or not. and rejection is important to live with. in many areas not just dating. I also want to bypass guys who think certain roles belong to them, and certain roles are my place. We would never get along, and Asking guys out helps me save time, bc guys who expect gender roles are turned off by my initiating.41|30|0
One more thing. I am very logical in my interactions with people. guys often play games high to me is irrational. Many guys claim they do this because it is how Women interact with Men, and Men need to interact with Women in kind. This is nonsense the lacks all accountability. I have no interest in being treated like an idiot because some guy has idiotic expectations of Women.
Most Helpful Guy
they don't need to man.
if you're over a 7.5/10+ and or wealthy, girls make it obvious they like you. they'll give you the puppy eyes, hang onto your words try to socialize with you and will even initiate contact / offer their number to you.
if they ever want to go after a guy that they really desire, they skip the games and make it 95% obvious. If the guys too stupid to realize, they'll lose interest. They'll literally wave a sign in your face in a case like that.31|20|0
I actually agree with this. Well said.
Why can't they just say something... Why the games... Always with the games.. I don't play those games if I like a girl... Thas exactly what I say to her... I LIKE YOU... What's so hard about that for them... That's annoying

Marcel Cas has been forced to bring a premature end to his playing career.
The FC Den Bosch midfielder has been forced to hang up his boots due to a serious back injury.
The problem is so severe that the 33-year-old has been warned by doctors that he will risk serious long-term damage if he continues in the game - even at amateur level.
Cas enjoyed a successful career with Sheffield United and Notts County before returning to his native country after a brief spell with Grimsby Town.
He will now look to carve out a career in physiotherapy, starting by helping out with the rehabilitation of injured Den Bosch players.

Pro Designers' 14 Biggest Decor Pet Peeves
The space responsible for hosting family movie marathons and game nights with friends is under a lot of pressure — after all, it has to be stylish and comfortable. So we went to some of our favorite designers to find out what mistakes most people make (and how to fix them) so you can show off your room proudly.More
Just because it looks amazing, doesn't mean it's right for your home. "Don't get me wrong, I love tiny chairs and super sleek sofas," says designer Ryland Witt. "But make sure there is seating that you and your guests feel comfortable in — otherwise you'll never use the room."
"Nothing drives me crazier than a sofa against the wall in a large room," says Sarah Vaile of Sarah Whit Interior Design. Even though for small spaces this might be necessary, when you have the option you should "float" your sofa away from the wall to make your room appear bigger.

More cons than pros.
First of all, from a PR standpoint, she just lost more than 50% of the population's favor by dressing in a revealing way. Numerous studies show that average and unattractive women actually harbor feelings of anger, resentment, and hostility towards women the perceive are actively competing for male sexual "attention" (not partners, just "attention"). Among attractive women, who actually stand a chance at competing for male attention, the retaliation against the scantily dressed woman may be more "passive" and "subtle." Among average and unattractive women, since they have nothing to lose in terms of male attention, the retaliation against the scantily dressed woman may be more "overt" and "direct."
So, that's #1 (in terms of percentages).
As far as men go, people in advertising or marketing would say, "number of views" is not the same thing as "number of paying customers."
Anyone "selling" advertising space is terrified to price based on "actual conversions." Instead, they price based on "clicks, or views." In female lingo, "Sure honey, you may be getting attention, but WHAT KIND of attention are you getting? Is that necessarily GOOD attention?" (puts cliche' female scripts away).
When I took a negotiation course in law school, we actually tested this male-female dynamic. They made males and females negotiate. Then, they broke out males and females into separate groups.
In the male-only room, the instructor asked, "What were your experiences? How did you feel when she was more assertive? How did you feel when she took a softer approach?"
Men had mixed opinions about most of the questions, except for one. Across the board, men consistently (almost unanimously):
1. Lost respect;
2. Lost trust;
3. Automatically felt the need to get defensive;
4. Sometimes even felt adversarial and hostile;
... when the female "used her sexuality" as part of the negotiation. Whether it was putting on a soft feminine voice, or making sexually suggestive eye contact or facial expressions, or toughing or laughing playfully, or dressing a certain way, or positioning her boobs or legs, etc.
Nearly all men took that as her "thinking" of "him" as:
1. an idiot;
2. able to be sexually manipulated;
3. sexually exploitable / desperate;
4. not respecting the business / professional process.
And just like that, the female had destroyed an opportunity to build trust and rapport.11|00|0
Most Helpful Girl
I think the cons outweigh the pros. Definitely.
+ she gets men drooling after her (=attention)
+ easy to find hookups
- not be taken seriously
- be objectified because that is how you present yourself
- you only get the worst of guys. Not boyfriend material because let's face it... you're not advertising yourself as girlfriend material either
- be disrespected by society (no, it's not empowerment to present yourself as only mean without brains)
- how about catching a cold?
- should you get raped, there is higher chance of people blaming you because you are "asking for it".
- you won't appear like a classy lady that guys would want to bring home to mom.10|10|0

Victoria Harbour Ferry & Nanaimo Harbour Ferry
Turning an old website cluttered with 'stuff' is always a challenge. The goal was to simplify the content, provide visible navigation and include previously established social media accounts (Twitter and Facebook) as part of the face of the company. Harbour Ferries operate a fleet of small commuter and tour boats in Victoria and Nanaimo, along with the H2O water taxi service. Included in on going client service are WordPress core and plugin updates, Search Engine optimization, analytics and a weekly blog during the operational season.
A project with a large learning curve! Melinda Whitaker is an accomplished Canadian Jazz songstress who came to us with a remit to revamp her online image, create social media accounts to market music and events, and work towards to launch of a new album. Starting with the website for central information, we incorporated new photographs taken by the amazing Frances Litman, along with archived CBC video on a new Youtube Account into a classy WordPress template. As the project moves further the plan is to use social media platforms to engage fans, spread the word about classic Jazz and Blues, and include more video.
Since 2005 we have designed and promoted a new website for the annual Pacific Baroque Festival in Victoria BC Canada. Held over four days in February, the festival brings together Vancouver's Pacific Baroque Orchestra, The Victoria Children's Choir, St. Christopher Singers along with noted guest musicians. The challenge is to implement a new graphic vision around the festival musical theme, while maintaining a familiar structure for the returning audience. This project involves complete online and traditional marketing – designing adverts, the concert print program, organizing the festival blog, and multi-media creation including photo galleries and videos. The 2010/2011 seasons included social media account set up and marketing, which will expand for future festivals.

Feedback from a current student of the MSc Advanced Professional Practice (Clinical Sciences)
"I have found the course to be extremely rewarding and very well put together. As a Masters level course,
naturally the emphasis is on the student to drive the direction of their study. For example, the
assignments are structured such that the student decides on the exact direction of the paper – I recently
attended a seminar by Stuart McGill, and I chose to write a paper on one aspect of his seminar, namely
rotational/torsional stability of the lumbar spine. This style of learning suits me, as I don't want to be told
what to learn, I would rather direct my own learning.
The support from the college is excellent both in terms of clinical support and administrative support. Of
course, if you don't ask for help, you won't get it! The course in the early stages forces you to reflect on
how you practice and whether you are actually an evidence-based practitioner; this is done is a very
pragmatic way, accepting that there will always be aspects of clinical practice that fall to judgment. The
course enables you to decide how to apply the evidence properly, as well as understanding what makes
a good piece of research in the first place (I would particularly recommend the Research Methods and
Evidence Based Practice modules). I feel that often we, as clinicians, think we understand research well,
but the course really showed me that I had a lot more to learn about research in general.
In terms of practice life, I have been able to take the knowledge gained from the course and adapt
various aspects of practice, including setting up a more detailed method of patient assessment (such as a
treadmill, video camera, etc). I have learnt a great deal by seeing how those guys practice. As I said,
what you get from the course will ultimately depend on you, but I can't recommend it enough. I may even
do another one… who knows!"

Russians operated the Buk missile launcher seen near the area where Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down, eyewitnesses have told UK media.
While reports circulated of the missile launcher being in the town of Snezhnoye hours before the Boeing 777 was downed, two eyewitnesses are the first to claim the crew operating the unit appeared to be from the Russian military, according to the BBC program Panorama.
The soldiers operating the missile launcher were "well-disciplined, unlike the rebels, and not wearing the standard Ukrainian camouflage uniform sported by government and rebel troops alike", one eyewitness said.
"They had pure Russian accents. They say the letter 'g' differently to us," the civilian told the BBC, which noted that most eastern Ukrainians speak Russian.
An accompanying officer spoke with a Muscovite accent, another eyewitness said.
The Associated Press had earlier reported eyewitnesses saying they had seen what looked like a Buk missile launcher in Snezhnoye on July 17, the day the plane was shot down. The BBC report, however, draws a closer link to Russian troops.
Pro-Russia separatists have denied they had possession of a missile launcher, while Moscow has laid the blame for the crash that killed 298, including 38 people from Australia, on Ukraine where the fighting is going on.
Hours after the incident, however, a recording surfaced in which a soldier at the crash scene described the incident to a commander, who denounced the dead as a plane of "spies."
Sources aligned with the Kremlin have suggested the civilian plane was brought down by a Ukrainian jet fighter, although the type of fighter in question is unable to travel at the altitude the doomed Malaysian airliner was at when it was hit.
The MH17 crash has dragged Australia into a geopolitical drama that marks the biggest crisis between Russia and the West since the fall of communism in the early 1990s.
Overnight, the European Union has announced the latest round of sanctions on Russia, aimed at punishing Moscow's leadership for its role in the fighting in Eastern Europe. Australia imposed further sanctions weeks ago.
Although Russia denied direct operations in eastern Ukraine, there is a growing body of evidence of Moscow's involvement, including, among other things, posts on social media and questions about Russian soldiers' deaths being asked by their families.
While Russia claims a Western-backed coup ousting democratically elected Ukrainian leader Viktor Yanukovych raised fears for the safety of ethnic Russians within Ukraine's border, the fighting comes months after Russia unilaterally annexed the Crimea region of Ukraine with the help of masked gunmen.
NATO recently agreed to funding and training for Ukraine's military, as well as the creation of a rapid-reaction force for use in Eastern Europe.
Although eastern Ukraine has deep ties to Russia, the Russian government in 1994 made undertakings through the so-called Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances to respect Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Russia has threatened to "react" to further sanctions from the West, with some analysts speculating Moscow intends to close Russian airspace for Western civilian air carriers. In addition to breaking the Budapest Memorandum, the US says Russia has broken a key 1987 missile test ban.
In 2008, Russia's military threatened an attack on Poland after the country agreed to host a US anti-missile shield, which the US said was intended to defend Europe against Iranian missiles.
In arms control, missile defence is seen as potentially destabilising because it upsets the balance of deterrence between nuclear-armed nations.

Taurus 1911 or Rock Island 1911??
I have been looking around and am looking at either the Taurus or the RIA? I am working with a budget of about $550. At that price the Taurus has the extended beaver tail, skeletonizes trigger, and extended safety. The RAI is just the GI model. What do you guys think? Is there any other makes I should look at in that price range?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
You need to consider high standard too. Mr. Wray has one he swears by, I've handled one in a store and was quite impressed with it. It's another filipino gun, in around the same price range.
It's also a mill spec.
I never fired a Taurus 1911 but I had another model and absolutely hated it (Millenium). I currently have a RIA 1911a2 double stack 45 and love this one. It's a GI model so the sights are smaller than I wanted but definitely accurate. I paid $550 for it. My brother paid a little less for his RIA and it has the extended beaver tail, Novak sights, skeletonized trigger, and ambi safety (single stack). I have other 1911s that cost up to triple my RIA but it is still one of my favorites...it used to be my carry but now sleeps next to me as my home defense. Big and bulky...about 3 lbs but even my wife loves firing it.
Thank you all for your help.
I have the Taurus, had zero problems out of it. Not to say its a great gun or a piece of junk but I am very happy with mine.
I have owned a Taurus 1911 and an Armscor-made 1911. Sold the Armscor and still have the Taurus. I've got about 5500 rounds through my Taurus and have yet to have a problem with it. Taurus gives you a lot more features than the RIA. And you can also get a stainless version, which RIA does not offer.
Heres a hell of a deal on the RIA 1911 for $419 , if thats what your looking for
Wow. Great deal.

text: Guided meditation for kids.. It is amazing when our little ones discover they can control what they think of.. Its actually pretty amazing when any person no matter what age they are can discover this! We create our entire lives by what grows from a first initial single thought.. Just imagine.. We can create the life we have always wanted with the ability to control our thinking.. I wish I had started as a baby.. Still so blessed by what meditation has done for my life now. My kids love this! My daughter has heard a scary story from the big kids this weekend that left her crying and afraid.. She was able, on her own, to focus her thinking on the feeling of her soft hair, while listening to guided meditations.. When I was able to come rest with her, I asked what the story was about.. She told me she could hardly see it now.. she had meditated till she could barley see the picture.. Amazing!! Good Job Annika!!

Power of Imagination (想像力 Sōzōryoku) is the 194th chapter of manga, Baby Steps.
Characters in Order of AppearanceEdit
- Eiichiro Maruo
- Ryuhei Aoi
- Takayuki Okada
- Yoshiaki Ide (flashback)
- Yoshiaki Ide
With Okada's rising flat shot and Eiichiro's change-of-pace strategies, the match between Eiichiro and Okada finally begins.
At the first set of second round, Okada serves first. He does not know the reason but he does not want to lose to Eiichiro. He does not hesitate to use his famous rising flat shot to earn the first point on the game. Eiichiro starts to tune his attacks and create strategies upon discovering the discrepancies of timing between the shots he saw in the video and the one he is experiencing in the court. Aside from the timing, he also considers Okada's height, point of contact, ball trajectory, power and speed. He has to consider when to use his topspin or flat and he decides to use slices more often than usual.
Okada keeps his first service game as Eiichiro was dominated by Okada's shots. Eiichiro clears his thoughts as he is started to get agitated. Eiichiro successfully gets a service ace on his first serve and uses his change-of-pace strategy to win the second point. Okada notices not only the difference on Eiichiro's techniques compared before but also how calm and collected Eiichiro is, considering that this is Eiichiro's debut in national stage.
Eiichiro successfully keeps his service game as well and as his high concentration remains, he decides to take risk on his next return game. On the other hand, Okada thinks that even though Eiichiro uses different patterns on his attacks, this match seems to be not on its worst case scenario.

She has changed so much this month and has definitely become wide open and on the go.
She is sleeping well, most nights from about 8:30 or 9 to 8am. We try to start bedtime around 8:30, but its just hard in the summer when we are on the go and normally still doing things at that time. She's turning into more of a snuggly baby, and loves to be held before she goes to sleep. After her last bottle, we take her to her room, change her and then sit in the dark with her there until she dozes off. John and I both have really enjoyed that time with her and having a few minutes at the end of the day with just our baby girl.
Milestone wise- she is trying to pull up on things, she is crawling like an alligator on her belly, and she is talking a lot! I'm not sure if she will every crawl on all fours because she really scoots around quickly on her belly to get where she needs to go. Most of the time, that means she's following Josie around the house or getting into something she shouldn't be. She says Mama, Dada, Bye bye (with a wave), and baby. The pediatrician told us she is advanced with her speech, so I'm sure she will talk my ears off the rest of our lives. :)
She loves her brother and her puppy, she loves Landon's toys, riding in the stroller, books, and bath time. She also loves snuggling her jellycat bunny.
She is wide open, busy, and curious. She is always, always up to something and keeps us on our toes. I have a feeling thats going to continue the rest of our lives!
Happy Nine Months Avery!

While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends and subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 5 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Buy."
TICC CapitalDividend Yield: 11.10% TICC Capital (NASDAQ: TICC) shares currently have a dividend yield of 11.10%. TICC Capital Corp., a business development company, operates as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The firm invests in both public and private companies. The company has a P/E ratio of 6.10. The average volume for TICC Capital has been 367,900 shares per day over the past 30 days. TICC Capital has a market cap of $559.4 million and is part of the financial services industry. Shares are up 4.3% year to date as of the close of trading on Friday. TheStreet Ratings rates TICC Capital as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, increase in stock price during the past year, expanding profit margins and notable return on equity. Although no company is perfect, currently we do not see any significant weaknesses which are likely to detract from the generally positive outlook. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 76.0%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Compared to where it was trading one year ago, TICC is up 8.93% to its most recent closing price of 10.49. Looking ahead, although the push and pull of a bull or bear market could certainly alter the outcome, our view is that this stock's positive fundamentals give it good potential for further appreciation.
- The gross profit margin for TICC CAPITAL CORP is rather high; currently it is at 62.72%. It has increased significantly from the same period last year.
- The net income has decreased by 15.3% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, dropping from $27.86 million to $23.59 million.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization.

As important as it is, the announcement that Google and Microsoft are trying to stop searches for child pornography overshadows a perhaps more important endeavour in which UK and US law enforcement are going to go hunting on the deep web for predators. This is a welcome move and one that emphasises the need for Facebook protection for children.
The fight against cyber porn has been ramped up several notches following the announcement that Google and Microsoft are targeting approximately 100,000 terms that can be used to search for child pornography. It's clearly welcome and could lead to convictions in some countries where possessing images of child pornography is a criminal offence. The feature is soon to be translated into 150 languages and it means that an avenue paedophiles use for accessing content will effectively be cut off. The links that the search terms lead to will not appear in Google or Microsoft search results. It's heartening to see the tech giants acknowledging the scale of the problem and taking a degree of responsibility. However, it's natural to assume that the search engine 'gatekeeper' will simply drive many of these people who search for these images underground. And an important question remains: just how many hardcore predators use these search engines anyway? Most use the anonymous deep web.
Steve has a background in IT and business journalism and in the past has written extensively for both the UK national and trade press including The Guardian, Independent-on-Sunday, The Times, The Register, MicroScope and Computer Weekly.
He's also worked for most of the world's largest IT companies in a copy and content producing capacity. He has a particular focus on IT security and has been involved in writing about the industry at various levels ranging from magazine launches to producing newsletters. He also runs a small copy writing business called Art of Words.
When not bashing away at a keyboard he can sometimes be found in a boxing gym making futile efforts to keep fit or marveling at the works of Sufi poets such as Jalaluddin Rumi and Hafiz of Shiraz.

Students of Reasoning studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! Reasoning textbooks – for example Thinking From A To Z by [N. Warburton], and Beyond Feelings: A Guide to Critical Thinking by [Vincent Ryan Ruggiero] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Reasoning is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Reasoning books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Reasoning classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

Henrico's Top Teachers – Kenneth Davis
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor (Photo by Robert Thomas for the Henrico Citizen) 02/16/12
A high school dropout who struggled with a learning disability, Kenneth Andre Davis says that he became a GED teacher because he understands what it's like to feel less than smart.
Although he persevered – enrolling at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College and eventually graduating from University of Richmond – he never forgot how it was to be pegged as "lazy or slow."
He also never forgot the teachers who helped him through, especially a middle school teacher named Ms. Shaw. "She was hard on me," he says, "which I didn't appreciate then, but certainly did later on."
Originally planning to become a sportswriter, Davis obtained a degree in communications, and was preparing to take on an internship at the Richmond Times Dispatch. But in the meantime, he had begun substitute teaching at different schools.
"It wasn't until I subbed at Henrico High School, the school that I dropped out of, that I caught the teaching bug," says Davis, "despite not teaching anything up to that point in my life." When the principal asked him to take over the GED program temporarily, Davis found himself accepting the position despite his misgivings.
Five years later, he feels fortunate that he has found teaching. "I didn't know that I wanted to teach," he says, "although I always knew that I wanted to make a difference."
As a GED teacher, he strives to help his students see that high school isn't for everybody, and to know that the type of diploma a person gets does not define them. "It's what you decide to do with the diploma," he says, "that truly determines the key to your success."
To drive the point home, Davis displays in his classroom a board with photos of GED graduates from his previous classes, as well as a board displaying pictures of famous people who have obtained their GED.
It's clear from the words of the students and colleagues who wrote to nominate Davis as a top teacher that he has succeeded in imparting his message.
One former student credited Davis with helping him not only to receive a diploma, but also a scholarship to college. Others wrote that after obtaining their GEDs they went on to careers in the military, in nursing, and in other professions – often with Davis' help on their resumes and the job hunt.
"He always told his students to overcome any obstacle that they have had in life," said one student, "because he went through the same obstacles, but now he is a college graduate. "
The fact that Davis was once in their position, however, is just one of the reasons that his students find him inspiring.
"I wanted to learn in his class because of the vibe this guy gives to a classroom," said one student. "Even the most hard-headed of students that hate school [get motivated], because after class you've learned more than [in] a week high school."
"He is fun-loving and a loving teacher," said another student. "He has the compassion and heart. He [puts himself] in his student's situation and makes us know that we are a phone call away from him."
"He treats all his students with the same respect he gives any other adult," wrote another former student. "He never made us feel like we were young and immature like most teachers do. He never judged me . . . and even though I am young and married with a son, he helped me to realize my life doesn't stop there but may continue to get better with my education. "
"He always pushed me and never gave up on me nor my classmates," said a student. "Without Mr. Davis I would not be where I am today."
A colleague of Davis' wrote to say that he has never missed a GED graduation ceremony. While at Tucker H.S., he had the highest GED passing rate of all the teachers; he has also had the highest number of students take advantage of the college scholarship offer for GED recipients.
"He believes in his students," said his colleague, "and in turn they start believing in themselves."
Both Davis and his colleague cite the case of a recent GED graduate as an example of what can be accomplished once a student acquires that belief.
Even before the student entered his program, Davis had heard about him from other teachers – "and let's just say that they weren't singing his praises," he recalls, noting that the student had been described as hyper, disruptive, and disrespectful.
What's more, by his third year at Tucker, the student had acquired exactly zero credits.
In spite of his reputation, Davis was determined to give the boy a clean slate, and before long they had found common ground in their music and fashion tastes. According to Davis, they simply "clicked," and the boy began to improve in "leaps and bounds."
Within nine months in the program the young man was able to make up four years, says Davis, "due to his work ethic and strong belief in himself."
Now a freshman at Stratford University majoring in culinary arts, the former student invited Davis to his college orientation, where Davis says he found himself reminiscing about that "disrespectful, disruptive young man who went through two years of high school without a credit."
That's the beauty of his job, says Davis, and the source of his passion to teach.
"Right before your eyes, you watch their apathy turn into unbridled interest," he says, "and a once-resistant student turn into a willing and engaging one."

I think it depends on how long the hair is and how it looks on the guy. I personally like a guy's hair to be short (but not buzzed) & it's really a turn off to me if his hair goes further than his chin. It aslso depends on if your hair is curly or straight. Long hair can look good on some guys I guess as long as they take care of it..because if it's greasy and tangly that's just gross lol00|00|0

Black markets for foreign exchange, real exchange rates, and inflation : overnight versus gradual reform in sub-Saharan Africa
- Authors
- Source
- Legacy
- Disciplines
The black market foreign exchange premium is an important implicit tax on exports, creating a conflict between the fiscal goal of financing government spending with a limited menu of tax instruments and the allocative goal of stimulating exports. In this paper, the premium is solved for in a model that includes the portfolio balance approach to exchange rates, dual exchange markets, and seignorage for financing the fiscal deficit. The steady state and dynamic implications for inflation of floats as a vehicle for unifying official and black market rates are then analyzed. Inflation could rise substantially in the new steady state as the lost revenue from exports is replaced with a higher tax on money. Further, the conditions under which undershooting or overshooting occur are parameterized. The paper is motivated by and illustrated with recent examples from sub - Saharan Africa.

Supermarine Spiteful
The Supermarine Spiteful was conceived as a successor to the Spitfire, three prototypes were ordered to Specification F.1/43, and the first of these flew on 30 June 1944. The first prototype comprised a Spitfire XIV fuselage with a new laminar flow wing, a 2,035hp Rolls-Royce Griffon 61 engine and an armament of four 20mm cannon. The second prototype flew on 8 January 1945 with the new fuselage, an all-round vision cockpit canopy and a 2,375hp Griffon 69 driving a five-bladed propeller. Production orders were placed for 188 Spitefuls, but the end of World War II and the advent of the jet fighter terminated plans for RAF use.

In the Fraser Institute's annual Economic Freedom of North America report, Pennsylvania fared well, ranking 18th among the states. But on significant points like government spending and taxes, the Keystone State could do better.
Pennsylvania ranked 30th on government spending and 37th on income and payroll taxes as a percentage of personal income. On property taxes and other taxes, it was 29th.
"There's a connection between high government spending and slower economic growth," Elizabeth Stelle, director of policy analysis for the Harrisburg-based Commonwealth Foundation, told Watchdog.org. "If we want a vibrant economy, if we want people to be able to find jobs, if we want people to prosper, then this study shows we need to reduce government spending and we need to have a better tax structure."
Dean Stansel, report co-author and associate professor at Southern Methodist University, told Watchdog.org that people consider these factors when moving to more business-friendly states like Florida and Texas, ranked second and third respectively.
For Pennsylvania, this outward migration resulted in the first population decline in 31 years. Between July 2015 and July 2016, Pennsylvania had a net loss of more than 7,600 people, according to new Census data.
"Even in a state like Pennsylvania that's not at the bottom — more in the top half — you do see people fleeing for friendlier business environments," Stansel said.
He said Pennsylvania could learn from states like Florida and Texas, which stood out with above average growth of per-capita income and the absence of an income tax.
"While the income tax rate in Pennsylvania is fairly low, it's still essentially higher than in Florida and Texas, as they don't have an income tax. That tax is particularly burdensome to individuals," he said. "It's essentially a punishment or penalty for productivity."
Stansel says these taxes could be a bigger burden on the local level, especially in heavily-populated areas like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. "Some of the reforms that are really needed are local-level reforms," he said.
Pennsylvania's ballooning pension costs have not gone unnoticed either. The state ranked 38th for insurance and retirement payments as a percentage of personal income. Multiple attempts at reform failed in the state Legislature, most recently in October. Stansel and Stelle agree that addressing pensions is one place to start to address future state budgets.
Stelle said pension costs impact the property tax ranking too. "Our pension crisis is really fueling a lot of the property tax increases that we're seeing across the state. It's squeezing school budgets," she said.
Compared to other states, Pennsylvania has a low percentage of government workers in the total workforce, but the density of union membership among employees remains high. Stelle says the biggest concern is the lack of transparency in contracts Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf makes with state employee unions.
"It's very difficult for taxpayers for taxpayers to have any input on what the cost of these employees is going to be," she said. "Even though we're paying the bill, we don't really get to see the receipt until after the purchase."
Because the report analyzed data from 2014, Stelle said the outlook could be worse under more recent patterns of higher government spending and tax hikes. In July, the Legislature approved a $1.3 billion tax package to balance a $31.5 billion budget. Next year, the state may need to balance a projected $600 million deficit by July. Without action, the deficit could grow to $1.7 billion into the next fiscal year.
One point of redemption for Pennsylvania is that it does well compared to neighboring states. New York ranked 50th, and Delaware, New Jersey and West Virginia ended up near the end of the pack. Maryland tied with Pennsylvania at 18th.
The Canadian-based Fraser Institute ranked all 50 states as well as Canadian provinces and Mexican states. Among all of the North American entities, two Canadian provinces ranked before the highest U.S. state, and all Mexican states ranked below the U.S. and Canada.

Welcome Walker Diggs, Interfaith Child
It is easy to be cynical about celebrity marriages. And it is easy to fret about the obstacles faced by interfaith and interracial marriages. But I can't help feeling thrilled by the birth this week of Walker Nathaniel Diggs.
Walker is the son of Broadway luminaries Idina Menzel (a nice Jewish girl from Long Island) and Taye Diggs (her African-American costar from the original Rent cast). The two started dating in the 1990's, they married in 2003, they have endured racist harassment, and they waited until they were both 38 to have this baby. So in celebrity terms, they have already shown powerful longevity in their relationship, which bodes well for baby Walker.
For many interracial/interfaith couples, the faith issues take a back seat to more obvious race issues. But it is clear the couple have also thought about their interfaith status. They named their terrier after Sammy Davis Jr., the African-American entertainer who converted to Judaism.
Menzel is a role model to generations of girls for originating the feisty roles of Maureen in Rent and Elphaba in the girl-power musical Wicked. Last year, a reporter from the Jewish Chronicle asked Menzel whether they would raise their (theoretical) children as Jews. Menzel replied, "…I feel strong connections to my culture and, so yes, I would like to bring them up with knowledge of the stories and awareness of the history. I'm just not sure about the rest. I'm a spiritual person, not a religious person."
Those are the exact words uttered by many of the parents who found their way to independent interfaith communities . I am sure Menzel will feel pressure from Jewish institutions to raise her son exclusively as a Jew. And she's got the whole "matrilineality" thing working for her. On the other hand, in a Jewish context Walker Diggs, with his Christian last name and brown skin, will always be obvious as an interfaith child. Christians will make the assumption that he is Christian. So he will grow up with an interfaith identity on some level, even if he is raised exclusively as a Jew. In an interfaith community, he would grow up with "knowledge of the stories and awareness of the history" from both sides of his family.
Susan Katz Miller's book, Being Both: Embracing Two Religions in One Interfaith Family is available now in hardcover, paperback and eBook from Beacon Press.

I love them both and I agree-Menzel is a great role model for young women as Diggs is for young men. As far as their faiths I don't see why you have to raise a child as either or. I think a well rounded child is one that is introduced to a variety of religions. Not just for personal growth, but so they can have a better understanding about other people's beliefs. Most people have no problem knocking another religion, but rarely do others try to connect the similarities instead of the differences. Great post.

Idina Menzel is my idol, when I found out that her and Taye were going to be parents I was overjoyed. No matter how they choose to raise little Walker, I'm sure that he will be a beautifully talented child.
November 17, 2009 at 7:52 pm
I'm simply happy for Taye and Idina-
I've loved them since RENT's opening in 1996.
Walker is the sweetest baby I have ever seen.
Bless his little heart.
His name is a strong name.I love it. WALKER NATHANIEL DIGGS.
May Taye-Idina-and Walker have MANY years of SEASONS OF LOVE.
Especially with their first Holiday Season together coming up.
