MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- After a day of mourning the death of
teammate Taylor Bradford, the Memphis Tigers will take on Marshall
as planned Tuesday night.
"There's going to be a 3½-hour block where we have to have our
minds on business, as hard as it is," Memphis coach Tommy West
Bradford, a 21-year-old defensive lineman, was shot to death
Sunday night, approximately three hours after Memphis finished
practice. West met with athletic director R.C. Johnson before
letting the team vote Monday morning on whether to play the
scheduled game against Marshall.
The decision was unanimous.
"I think we've got to do a good job with them," West said
"They know that they made that decision. Can we do that? We'll
see. I don't know."
The university is providing counselors for the Tigers, who
stayed together Monday night. West said the players asked to be
left alone to grieve Bradford, who was popular with teammates and
fellow students.
"Our hearts and prayers go out to the young man's family and
the Memphis community for this tragedy," Marshall officials said
in a statement. "It's just a terrible circumstance. We hope the
best for them through a tough time."
Bradford, a nose guard, had recently lost 25 pounds with the
hope of earning playing time by switching to fullback.
A moment of silence will be observed before Tuesday's game, which will be aired on ESPN2 at 8 p.m.
"This to me is the most tragic way that you could ever lose a
teammate," West said. "There was no reason for this."

Here's a video of me drawing my friend and colleague, Wolfgang Niesielski, and his wife from last June.
Wolfgang ran the caricature stand at Paramount's Great America in Santa Clara in the mid '90's.
I managed the artists schedule and drew there myself various times from '96-2000.
PS - I don't always draw this fast. My standard speed is about 3-4 minutes per person, but when given the chance I'll sometimes take up to 10 minutes on one black & white caricature.
Big AL
This weekend I draw at a father/daughter dinner event and a bank opening in San Jose.

Has there been anyone who did not vaccinate for something and got that disease? How bad was it, if so?
I was vaccinated according to schedule in the 80's. My brother and I got the measles twice from the vaccine. My mom was told it was 2 different types of measles. My bro has crohn's and I reviewed Doctor Wakefields research on measles and crohns so I am leary.
My 9 month old has not been vaccinated. I did get talked into the oral Vitamin K and he got jaundice. When I got home from the hospital I read online that the two were linked. hmmm.
Ok. So I got a new ped and took my son to him yesterday and he said that me getting the measles twice from the vaccine is a 1 and billion chance and so for my brother to get it to we would have been a CDC reported case. huh? He did admit there are two types of measles and one of them you do get from the vaccine.
Anyway just curious. I am starting to feel the pressure to get some vaccines over others. I don't want to give them but they always give you all the worst case stats.

My name is Landon Hamilton.
I'm the only thing keeping the universe in one piece.
I thought fighting angels and demons was a tough gig, but now I'd give anything to go back to the not-that-good, not-so-old days. There's a new game in town, and it's one that's threatening to destroy everything that has ever been created.
Oh, and my friends and I are the only ones who can stop it.
Game on.

A marvelous continuation of the series
I would rank Broken as the second best audiobook I've listened too, behind only "The Legend of Drizzt: The Collected Stories:. I would actually rank this book ahead of The Legend of Drizzt based on the audio, narrator Jeff Hays pulled out all the stops and this has definately been my favorite book narrated by him.
There were too many characters in this book that I enjoyed to pick just one, but a few of my favorites would be:
1) The Beast - Jeff's ability to imbue such pure destruction, anger, hate and pettiness into this character was flawless.
2) Landon - The character has grown and changed so much over the three books that he is almost a different character from when he started. Jeff did a great job bringing that growth and change to life.
3) Ulnix - The way Ulnix has changed from when we first met him is startling. He was nothing but a ravening beast at first, but his exposure to Landon and Josette has turned him into an almost tragic hero. I can't wait to see what happens to him after this book.
4) Josette - The journey for Josette in this book is amazing. The scene where Josette proves to Landon just how powerful her faith in god is, is one of my favorites. I actually had a lump in my throat by the end of the scene and I kept wishing it didn't happen the way it did.
I wish I could have just sat down in a room and devoured this book.
This book is by far my favorite of M.R Forbes and also of Jeff Hays. The writing is heads and shoulders above what he had done previously, especially the 2nd book. I did not want the book to end and at least there are still two more books in the series.
Jeff really stepped up his game on this one. I have enjoyed the narration and production that he does for all his books, but this one was in another league. His ability to make me picture the voice of the Beast coming from multiple bodies at the same time, or being able to conjure up what a creature looks like is astounding.
As always his ability to create different voices for different people, including men and women is well done (I almost feel like a broken record saying the same thing on every review).
Bravo to both M.R. Forbes and Jeff Hays.
- Dan
And the plot thickens...

Gift for guys or stocking stuffers
It's time to start gathering those stocking stuffer items. Our Doc Allen's VersaTool is a great gift for guys, but it is also small enough to fit neatly into a stocking to be hung by the chimney for St. Nick.
With the VersaTool being so compact, whether you are buying a gift for guys or for that stocking, it is very convenient to just tuck into your pocket, backpack, drawer, anywhere. As a gift for guys or as a stocking stuffer, that means the VersaTool is handy in more ways than one.

So, if you've already got your gift for guys, the Doc Allen's VersaTool is the perfect stocking stuffer. Now is the time to catch the holiday special.

The entire park is within the Fantastic Rift valley, and is the idea location for a high-end african safari. Most of the wild animals is to be found in the swampy western border of the Masai Mara, and because this location is the furthest away from Nairobi, it is the open grasslands of the east that sees the greatest concentration of in Kenya safari travelers.
The Masai Mara is popular for lions, however all the othe members of the 'big five' are to be found here. The dominant resident nevertheless is the wildebeest, and in July they migrate north to the Masai from Serengeti, and after that go back outh again in October.

Take a Masai Mara safari, you will not be disappointed.

I have been pulled into the retro design space and loving the things I learn and every moment of it. Some people have been asking me why my design revolves around "myself" and the reasons are 1) I was designing on the spot and needed an individual to make some poses. 2) I am designing display pictures for facebook and msn messenger.
Here is a new design which doesn't consist of my physical self. Cheers.

PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) is a network protocol used in the implementation of Virtual Private Networks (VPN). Newer VPN technologies like OpenVPN, L2TP, and IPsec may offer better network security support, but PPTP remains a popular network protocol especially on Windows computers.

How PPTP Works

PPTP uses a client-server design (technical specification contained in Internet RFC 2637) that operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model. PPTP VPN clients are included by default in Microsoft Windows and also available for both Linux and Mac OS X.

PPTP is most commonly used for VPN remote access over the Internet. In this usage, VPN tunnels are created via the following two-step process:

The user launches a PPTP client that connects to their Internet provider

PPTP creates a TCP control connection between the VPN client and VPN server. The protocol uses TCP port 1723 for these connections and General Routing Encapsulation (GRE) to finally establish the tunnel.

PPTP also supports VPN connectivity across a local network.

Once the VPN tunnel is established, PPTP supports two types of information flow:

control messages for managing and eventually tearing down the VPN connection. Control messages pass directly between VPN client and server.

data packets that pass through the tunnel, to or from the VPN client.

Setting Up a PPTP VPN Connection on Windows

Windows users create new Internet VPN connections as follows:

Open Network and Sharing Center from the Windows Control Panel

Click the "Setup a new connection or network" link

In the new pop-up window that appears, choose the "Connect to a workplace" option and click Next

Select the "Use my Internet connection (VPN)" option

Enter address information for the VPN server, give this connection a local name (under which this connection setup is saved for future use), change any of the optional settings listed, and click Create

Users obtain the PPTP VPN server address information from the server administrators. Corporate and school administrators provide it to their users directly, while public Internet VPN services publish the information online (but often limit connections only to subscribing customers). Connection strings can be either a server name or IP address.

After a connection is set up the first time, users on that Windows PC can re-connect later by selecting the local name from the Windows network connection list.

For business network administrators: Microsoft Windows provides utility programs called pptpsrv.exe and pptpclnt.exe that help verify whether the network's PPTP setup is correct.

Using PPTP on Home Networks with VPN Passthrough

When on a home network, VPN connections are made from the client to a remote Internet server via the home broadband router. Some older home routers are not compatible with PPTP and do not allow the protocol traffic to pass through for VPN connections to be established. Other routers allow PPTP VPN connections but can only support one connection at a time. These limitations stem from the way PPTP and GRE technology works.

Newer home routers advertise the feature called VPN passthrough that indicates its support for PPTP. A home router must have PPTP port 1723 open (allowing connections to be established) and also forward for GRE protocol type 47 (enabling data to pass through the VPN tunnel), setup options that are made by default on most routers today. Check the router's documentation for any specific limitations of VPN passthrough support for that device.

Justine R. Cheung, MSW – Bridging Success Program Coordinator
I'm Justine Cheung and I have been the Bridging Success Program Coordinator since June 2015. The work I do with the Bridging Success is extremely gratifying! I have the opportunity to engage with some extremely talented and resilient students who have experienced foster care. They are excited and ready to start a new life and being able to support them as they make these big transitions is an awesome thing to witness. I'm also extremely impressed with the amount of support Bridging Success and its student receive from ASU staff and faculty. Also, our community partners are always there to help our students with outside resources. It's just AMAZING how our community is able to wrap around these young people so they have every chance of succeeding!
I currently hold an undergraduate and graduate degree from ASU's School of Social Work, and am currently pursuing my PhD. After graduating with my BSW, I worked in the public mental and behavioral health care system, specializing is in peer-support, trauma informed care, and mental health recovery. Once I completed my MSW degree, I spent a year working with ASU's Refugee Resettlement Committee and conducted research on Social Entrepreneurship. Research is an important part of my life and as a professional social worker I recognize the importance it plays and the responsibility I have to empower others to have the life they dream of.
Nikki Burgess – Peer Mentor
My name is Nikki Burgess and I was in the foster care system from ages 15 to 17, until I left my foster family to move into ASU's dorms. Now, I am a senior majoring in Social Justice with minors in Women and Gender Studies and Spanish. Because college has drastically transformed my life for the better, I am very passionate about supporting former foster youth throughout their journey at ASU. Unfortunately, however, Bridging Success did not exist when I was a freshman and I know that it would have made my transition so much easier, both personally and professionally; thus I cannot underscore enough how great of an opportunity this is, especially the Early Start Program! Although foster youth overcome great obstacles--particularly institutional ones--we are more than capable of succeeding in a university setting, especially with Bridging Success as the starting point.
Ryan Jordan – MSW Intern/Bridging Success Coach
I'm Ryan Jordan and I recently graduated from Arizona State with bachelor degrees in Psychology, Family and Human Development, and Women and Gender Studies. I decided to remain at ASU and am now currently in their Master of Social Work program. Coming to Bridging Success through the School of Social Work felt like a great opportunity to support students' unique transitions to the school I love, while learning about our state and national policies concerning foster youth. Building a support system and getting to know these students has been rewarding on both a personal and educational level. I hope to use this knowledge as I continue in my Master's program and use it to inform my future work as a LCSW in therapy and advocacy work with children and adolescents.
Cynthia Alaffa – Bridging Success Peer Mentor
My name is Cynthia Alaffa and I am a sophomore pursuing my undergraduate degree in Social Work. Through my first year at ASU I did a lot of exploring of majors. I started out as a nursing major and then switched to education and now I am in social work. I was very narrow minded on what I wanted to do, but once I started college my mind began to grow. I was able to explore more of who I am. I discovered I really enjoyed working with youth and want to help them grow and discover hidden features about themselves. As a result I chose to major in social work and I feel like I am home now. I started with Bridging Success as a student in the program August of 2015. I returned to the program as a peer mentor for 2016-2017 school year. Bridging Success has been a huge part of my college experience. I believe working as a peer mentor has helped expand my passion for wanting to pursue my undergraduate degree in Social Work. Through the next few years that I am here at ASU I hope to continue as a peer mentor for the program and see other students in the program grow. I am very pleased to be working with bridging success as a peer mentor and I cannot wait to see this program grow.
Kalah Polsean
My name is Kalah Polsean and am a first-year Masters student in the Social Work and Public Administration concurrent degree program. I am originally from Rockford, Illinois and came to ASU as an out-of-state student to study Elementary Education-English as a Second Language. After graduating with my bachelor's degree, I began working in college access and success programs for high school and college students. My passion is to support and advocate for children in the child welfare system to ensure that all children have equal educational opportunities and outcomes. I am very excited to be part of the Bridging Success family and to support amazing Sun Devils!
April Hanks
My name is April Hanks and I was born and raised in Arizona. I graduated from Arizona State University with degrees in English and communication and am now back at ASU to pursue a master's degree in social work. Having previously volunteered with foster youth, I am excited to work with and learn from the Bridging Success staff and students. These lessons will impact me greatly as I continue with my degree and pursue a career as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
Kurt Holiday
"Yah'ah'teeh (Hello), my name is Kurt Holiday and I am a senior studying Social Work at our prestigious school, Arizona State University! I am a BSW intern and aim to apply what I learn from this program to becoming a culturally competent social worker. Much like you I too went through the foster care system and it sucked, having a social worker who did not care about my wellbeing but rather just moving from one case to the next. It isn't a good feeling, but that is my experience with the foster care system and I want to prevent others from sharing that type of experience. A lot of people can empathize with how we felt in that point of time of being in the foster system, but what we do with that truly defines us as individuals. With everything that has happened in my life, it has brought me to this point and will continue to push me further. Which I'm sure rings true for you as well, so let's make the best of this year and strive for greatness."
Belinda Escalante
I'm Belinda Escalante and I'm a first generation student originally from California. I've had the opportunity to live in several states including Texas and Minnesota. I've been in Arizona for over 9 years and currently reside in Phoenix. As a non-traditional student with many years of work experience, I have worked with diverse populations. Most notably is as a Transition Technician working with special education students at Tempe Union High School District. I am a huge advocate of transition services to help bridge students with achievable benchmarks in order to reach their goals. I'm passionate about mental, education and prison reform. I'm a community organizer, activist and Vice President of the Macro Social Work Student Organization (MSWSN) – ASU club. I'm a currently a senior and will earn my social work bachelor's degree in Spring 2017. I will pursue my master's degree in social work in Summer 2017 specializing in policy and advocacy.

We spent 4 nights at the Outrigger at the end of our 'Lions' trip Down Under. John & Theresa made us extremely welcome & went out of their way to assist us in every way possible including letting us have use of their private apartment (free of charge!!) on our last day as we were not flying out until midnight. Excellent location close to all the restaurants - there is a much bigger choice here than on Hastings Street. Enormous apartment, well furnished, extremely clean & great value for money. I would definitely recommend this resort if you are staying in Noosa.

Our Hospitality and Hotel Management Group's World-Class Employees
At Presidian Hotels & Resorts our top-notch team delivers above-and-beyond client expectations every day. Far surpassing other hospitality and hotel management groups, you won't find a more forward-thinking team dedicated to delivering, "Better Hospitality."
Employee Spotlight
I graduated from Central Missouri State University and began working for Starwood Hotels and Resorts working in accounting, human resources, and sales. The best part about working for Presidian is that they foster a hands-on working environment that is very supportive. Going to college I had a clear vision for my career path, I wanted to work in hotels.
I remember a guest package arriving the day after the guest checked out. He was at the airport and asked me to send it to the town he was going to. I told him I'd bring it to him at the airport after my shift. He was surprised that I'd drive 45 minutes out of the way to deliver it to him and said that he'll always stay at our hotel whenever he comes back to town.
I love the wedding receptions. Decorating the honeymoon suites, seeing their special day come to life – it's amazing. I've even had a bride tell me, "You're a great friend because you're so kind; you calm me down and always make things better." That makes me feel awesome.
The best part about my career at Presidian is getting to meet so many people. We have a lot of repeat guests and we really get to know them and what makes them happy. It's always interesting – you never know what's going to happen each day.
I work as hard as I can to serve our guests and make them feel like they're at home. Every time I see them I smile and say hello, and I always make sure to focus on the details in their room.
The best part about working for Presidian is that they have a clear vision for success and know how to support their operation teams to achieve it. We work hard and are appreciated. My career path started when I was 14 working at the Doubletree Overland Park hotel. I instantly fell in love with the industry. Through my career I have enjoyed working at Hilton and Starwood brands. Some of my key areas of expertise are Front Office and Revenue Management

Crank Nicolson Solution to 3d Heat Equation
Hello everyone. I am currently trying to create a Crank Nicolson solver to model the temperature distribution within a Solar Cell with heat sinking arrangement and have three question I would like to ask about my approach.
I am aiming to solve the 3d transient heat equation:
Where T = temperature (K), t = time (s), q is the rate of heat generation (W/m^3), = thermal conductivity (W/mK) and = thermal diffusivity (m^2/s).
Approximating the time derivative by a backward difference approximation and the spatial derivatives by central difference second order approximation yields my Crank Nicolson scheme for the bulk of the material:
(1+3) = ( + + + + ) + (1-3) + ( + + + + ) +
Where i, j and k are unit vectors in the x, y, z directions respectively and t+1 and t refer to the current and previous time steps and = (with k = the step size between adjacent time steps and h = the step size for each spatial direction).
My three questions are as follows:
I would like to model the boundary of my domain as losing heat to it's environment by convection and radiation. I am having a few problems implementing the boundary conditions so would like to check my approach.
As I understand it this is a Neumann condition and can be represented by (assuming a 1d case along the i=0 boundary):
- = + (-)
Where is the convective heat transfer coefficient and
Applying a central difference to the derivative and rearranging for the 'ghost node' yields:
= -
Am I correct in thinking that this can be substituted into the original Crank Nicolson Scheme in place of the 'ghost node' along the boundary? And should the same approach be implemented to approach the ghost nodes at both the t+1 and the t time steps?
With the approach shown I am finding that my energy generation term produces the same temperature rise regardless of the time step I employ, which isn't consistent logically. With the approach above if I increase the time step by a factor x, then all terms in the equation are increased by the same factor (since is also increased by the same proportion) and this cancels out and produces the same temperature rise at a given node regardless of time step. Can anyone spot anywhere obvious that I have gone wrong?
I am employing the Gauss-Seidel iterative technique to solve for each of the t+1th nodes (I appreciate it isn't the most efficient but is a useful starting point for me) and am finding that the number of iterations required increases consistently as the number of completed time steps increases. This is leading to a situation whereby each time step is taking an impractical number of iterations to converge (up to several thousand). I assume this is some issue with accumulation of errors but as a novice programmer am a bit perplexed as to how to stop this happening. If anyone can shed any light that would be fantastic, although I appreciate that the information given here is somewhat vague!
Apologies for the long winded post and thank you in advance for your help.
All the best,
concerning issue #1, I suggest to write the Laplacian as Div (Grad) so that you can substitute directly the Neumann condition at boundary....
I haven't read yet the other two questions :)
PS: in your CN formula you wrot "=" instead of "+" ?
Many thanks for the response. I have amended the original post :)

Loaf and Camouflage Trailer (1984)
01 October 1984 Comedy 99 mins
The film is the story of a group of soldiers, who, in the course of their compulsory military service in 1967 and 1968, before and during the military dictatorship in Greece, are assigned to the then recently founded Armed Forces Television. This TV station, founded for the civilian population, was run by the Cinematographic Unit of the army which until then had only produced propaganda films and newsreels and was responsible for entertaining the troops and other charity organizations with movie screenings. The personnel was composed mostly of soldiers, who already had experience in the film business in their civilian lives, as well as those who received their training in the army. The story may be only 95% true, but that is simply because the true story is even more absurd...

Quick question: in the Fantom X sequencer, how do I manually enter the MSB, LSB and Prog Change numbers? I am not talking about the intial settings undert the External tab of the related Performance. I am talking about inserting programme changes in the middle of a song.
I tried inserting CC controllers 99 (MSB), 100 (LSB) and the dedicated Program Change message but it doesn't work. Can this be done without having to resort to entering whole sysex strings?

My two sisters and I like to sew. We've been sewing since we were young, when our mother put us into a 4-H group. Actually, my younger sister would take offense; she was too young to take 4-H the first year. After learning to sew, we each spent a great deal of time sewing our own clothes. I must say, my older sister was the better seamtress.
Over the years, we have each developed our sewing skills differently. I have gone the route of quilting, while my older sister has mostly made clothing and my younger sister has done very little sewing, because she lacked a sewing machine. I got my older sister interested in quilting several years ago and we started getting together to sew. My younger sister joined us two years ago in the Spring when she finally bought a sewing machine. She vowed to complete a quilt she had started umteen years ago and give it to her first grandchild. We got together to sew at a local quilting house and spent the entire day together. Since then, we have tried to meet every couple of months at one or the other's house. We have also attended a retreat together and returned to the quilt house for a sewing day. We talk, laugh, talk some more, and dream about having some kind of business together that would allow us to use our sewing talents.
Last week-end was another one of those sewing days. We met at my younger sister's house at 10 AM. We planned a lunch, which included homemade potato soup, homemade bread in the bread machine and a broccoli & cauliflower salad. Yum!! We set up our machines and started sewing individual projects. We decided to complete a project together after lunch. This is our first and involved making stuffed fabric pumpkins to use in our Fall decorating. They are scented with cloves and use a cinnamon stick for the stem. As usual, the day progressed much too quickly and we didn't get everything done that we had hoped.
Oh well, we have another sewing day planned in October. And, the first Saturday in October marks the second round of the Groovy Girls Club at our local quilt shop. We have all agreed to participate. Also, since none of us cares to shop on Black Friday and two of our husbands make us widows during deer season, we are planning a week-end sew-in for Friday & Saturday of Thanksgiving week-end. We have two additional group projects planned. The first is vegetable shaped pot holders, the second is an iron travel case that doubles for a take-along ironing mat, and the third is tote pattern.
Sisters are such a blessing. And, Sisters in Stitches is such fun! Here's to hoping you have fun sewing with your sisters.
Tue, Sep 20 2011 9:13 PM
This weekend is my annual Sisters Weekend with my 4 older sisters. They are 10, 11, 12 and 16 years older than me. We have been doing Sisters Weekend for 20 years, we have gone to cabins, spent the weekend in downtown Minneapolis a couple of times, went to a Vikings game one year, a Twins game another. We took a road trip from Minneapolis to Chicago, one year, 3 of my sisters live in Northern Minnesota so they had to make a little longer trip. My oldest sister and I live in the Twin Cities and we have been the ones that travel most of the time, to the North Shore one year. Several years we even invited our Mother with, and we are very Thankful that we did, those were the last few years of her life. The one constant about Sisters Weekend is that we always make it to at least one Quilt Store, usually two and hopefully more. This didn't start until thirteen years ago we each embroidered 5 blocks for a quilt and we put the quilt together and hand quilted most of it at Sisters Weekend and gave it to our mother for Christmas that year. You are right, Sisters are such a blessing, And Sisters in Stitches are not only fun, they are twice the blessing!!

text: I'm about to order a 200 gallon skid sprayer from Gregson-Clark (because I love everything about their sprayers) and have a question about spray hose. The Hannay reel my sprayer is going to come with, can hold up to 400' of 1/2" hose, or 550' of 3/8". From reading all the bad press 1/2" hose has gotten on here, and my personal experience with 3/8". I'm going to have 3/8" hose installed on it. I'm not sure though if I should have a full 550' of 3/8" installed on it, or not. I guess there might be times when having more than 400' of hose would be handy, but I don't think there would be many. I mainly target smaller (7k sq. ft., or less) residential properties. You guys that have been draggin' hose would have a much better insight on this, than I would. I guess the question I'm asking is this... Are there any drawbacks to having too much hose on your truck? Such as insufficient flow at the gun, problems respooling the hose, or anything else? Thanks in advance for any insight you can give me guys. As a side note. I'm not going to do any tree spraying with it. It's strickly for use on lawns. Vic

Russell Brand: 'Saturday Night Live'
February 13, 2011 by USA Post
Russell Brand, Russell Edward Brand (born June 4, 1975) is an English comedian, actor, writer, singer, author and presenter of radio and television. Brand reached a reputation in the United Kingdom for presenting a Big Brother spin-off Big Brother's Big Mouth, and his radio show, including TV series and other ceremonies. He appeared in several films including the romantic comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Bedtime Stories, St Trinian's, bring it to the Greek and, more recently, Despicable Me is known for various controversies that have surrounded in the British media such as the 2008 prank calls that led to his resignation from the BBC. He married singer Katy Perry October 23, 2010.
Russell Brand can be so funny and charming on talk shows, fast ad-libs and spiritual enthusiasm, it sounds so sweet when he is with his wife, Katy Perry. Consider that kindness for what follows. Hoo boy was it bad enough for one week Saturday Night Live.
After a cold open this joyless parodied Bill O'Reilly interview with Obama (have you heard? O'Reilly interrupted the President very much), the brand has emerged to offer a high energy opening monologue little amusement about how tight his pants are common, and how married life is even when you're married to Katy Perry. He concluded 90 minutes later, without Perry, but with a cut finger ("I bled for you!" He sang).
Playing a regular Joe American who had won a trip of six weeks from a host of Travel Channel (Kristen Wiig), an American accent mark managed to deliver dialogue that would have required a private detective to find any punchlines. The company relied on Wiig be manic enthusiasm, he was a mediocre retread SNL.
British comedian known as Mr. Katy Perry hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time and played his alien status.
Brand started the evening to ask the public to trust him because he said it is much more famous in his native England than it is in America. He also explained his signature tight clothes to the audience by saying: ". In England, tight pants means you're famous in America, tight pants means of control to JFK airport, I learned ":

TRIPS Agreement Influenced Interpretation of Patent Law in Finnish Patent Dispute
by Jukka Palm (Berggren Oy Ab – Finland)
The Finnish Market Court applied the TRIPS -agreement in a temporary injunction matter (No. 821/15) relating to an alleged likely patent infringement by offering for sale, placing on the market or using a generic drug substance.
Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. and MSD Finland Oy v. Sandoz A/S, http://www.markkinaoikeus.fi/fi/index/paatokset/teollisjatekijanoikeudellisetasiat/teollisjatekijanoikeudellisetasiat/1448436743507.html
According to the Finnish Patent Act, Section 57a "should the patent have been granted to a method for the manufacture of a new product, the new identical product that has been produced without the consent of the proprietor of patent must be considered have been produced by the patented method unless otherwise proven" i.e. the burden of proof is reversed. One of the questions was whether this point of the law was, in accordance with the TRIPS Agreement, applicable in proceedings related to temporary injunction.
The applicants in the case were Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. and MSD Finland Oy while the adverse party was Sandoz A/S. Merck Sharp & Dohme (owner of a Finnish patent number FI 110321, European patent EP 1137634) and MSD Finland Oy had previously successfully applied for a temporary injunction against Sandoz A/S. Now the case had moved to the next phase which is an application for a final decision on the temporary injunction matter.
The Market Court reviewed whether Sandoz had violated the supplementary protection certificate number 233 of the applicant's patent and the applicant's European patent EP 1137634 in its production of a generic drug substance, ezetimibe. Sandoz A/S contested the infringement claim and insisted that it uses a so-called DR – method, which does not infringe the patents in question, to manufacture the product.
According to the applicants the reversed burden of proof should be applied in the case, whereas the adverse party disagreed. According to the court infringement was uncertain in relation to a European patent and the application did not succeed in this regard. However, the situation was different in respect of the supplementary protection certificate 233 relating to a Finnish patent.
Despite expert opinions the court could not reach a satisfactory conclusion regarding whether the infringement was likely or not. Additionally Sandoz A/S was unable to prove how much of its total ezetimibe production and shipments to Finland were produced using the DR – method.
The Market Court ruled that the burden of proof was reversed due to Patents Act, Section 57a. As Sandoz had failed to meet the requirement set by the law, the court ruled in the favour of the applicants.
Sandoz A/S had also argued that the said reversed burden of proof would not be applicable in temporary injunction proceedings. The Market Court rejected the argument stating that the wording in the Finnish Patent Act or previous national case law does not support this view. Moreover, the Article 34 of TRIPS Agreement obligates the member states to ensure that "the judicial authorities shall have the authority to order the defendant to prove that the process to obtain an identical product is different from the patented process."
The Market Court considered that contrary to the claims by Sandoz A/S the TRIPS Agreement did not contain any specific restriction according to which the reversed burden of proof in Article 34 could not be applied in temporary injunction proceedings.
The Market Court ordered Sandoz not to offer or trade or use the drug Sandoz Ezetimibe 10 mg in Finland and set a EUR 500 000 periodic penalty payment to ensure compliance with the prohibition.

Amcor announces US$280 million acquisition of Ball Plastics Packaging Americas
Amcor announces today it has reached an agreement to purchase the assets of Ball Plastics Packaging Americas from Ball Corporation. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval in the USA. The purchase price is US$280 million, which represents four times the last 12 months acquired EBITDA of US$70 million.* The business has five plants in North America and sales of approximately US$600 million.
Approximately 50% of the earnings of the business are derived from the Diversified Products and Custom Beverage segments, and 50% from the CSDW segment.
The acquisition presents a significant opportunity to improve operating efficiencies and achieve synergies as the businesses integrate. Net synergy benefits are anticipated to be approximately US$35 million. The cash cost to achieve these synergies is expected to be approximately US$45 million with an additional non-cash writedown of US$30 million.
Inclusive of net synergies, the EBITDA is targeted at US$105 million at the end of year three. The total cost to achieve these earnings is US$325 million, comprised of US$280 million purchase price and US$45 million to deliver synergies. This represents an EBITDA multiple, post synergies, of 3.0 times.
The acquisition will expand Amcor's Diversified Products business. The Diversified Products business targets the health care/pharmaceutical, personal care, food and distilled spirits end markets. The acquisition brings exposure to new growth opportunities including wine bottles, retort packaging for food, and high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) containers for various market segments.
Additionally, Amcor Rigid Plastics will be positioned to offer a broader range of innovation and technology-based solutions to customers. The acquisition of Ball Plastics Packaging Americas brings with it expanded capabilities, including exciting developments in multi-layer, retort, and barrier technologies as well as the assets and know-how to manufacture HDPE and PP extrusion blowmolded containers.
* Amcor is only acquiring the plants. Therefore, EBITDA effective at closing excludes Ball Corporation corporate and divisional SG&A charges.
Amcor Rigid Plastics North America had sales of approximately US$175 million in Diversified Products prior to the acquisition of Alcan Pharma Plastics Packaging. Following the acquisition of Ball Plastics Packaging Americas and Alcan Pharma Plastics Packaging, sales in the Diversified Products division will increase to approximately US$425 million.
The acquisition will be funded from existing undrawn facilities at an interest cost of approximately 5%. Following the acquisition, gearing will be approximately 46%.
Amcor's Managing Director & CEO, Mr. Ken MacKenzie, said, "This is an important strategic opportunity to further expand our position in the Diversified Products' market. This is a high growth market, and the capabilities of the Ball acquisition will help us expand our business in North America and to leverage new technologies and products in our growing Latin America business."
"In the current global economic environment, there are opportunities to acquire businesses at prices that are substantially lower than a few years ago," said Mr MacKenzie. "The significant synergy opportunities this acquisition generates will underpin strong returns from the first full year and have a positive impact on earnings per share."

A series of food-safety-related scandals in the second half of 2011 took the shine off profits at China Yurun Food, which said full-year net profit fell 34 per cent to HK$1.8 billion last year, from HK$2.73 billion in 2010.
The fall in profit came despite a 50.5 per cent rise in turnover last year to HK$32.3 billion, and Yurun, the mainland's second-largest meat processor, said its gross profit margin narrowed to 8.6 per cent during the year, from 14.4 per cent in 2010.
'We saw the worst operational situation in the fourth quarter and I think we can see the light at the end of the tunnel,' chairman Zhu Yicai said.
He said hog procurement costs reached a historic high in the fourth quarter, at about 19 yuan (HK$23) per kg, which fell to an average of 17.2 yuan in the first two months of this year.
Yurun faced a crisis last year with several food-safety issues involving bacteria exceeding government standards and illegal additives.
It blamed the fall in its gross profit margin on a significant rise in hog prices and other raw-material costs, and on a fall in consumer confidence in its products.
Hog prices rose 48.7 per cent last year, reaching an average of 15.88 yuan per kg.
Zhu expected prices to fall further this month. 'Compared with the same period last year, hog prices are still high, but we expect them to fall 15 per cent to 20 per cent this year.'
He said Yurun's gross profit margin would return to normal, but it was hard to give a time frame. 'In the past five to six years, our gross profit margin has been between 13 per cent and 16 per cent.'
The company separately said chief executive Zhu Yiliang was being replaced by Yu Zhangli, an executive director on the board. Zhu would stay on the board as an executive director.
The Nanjing, Jiangsu-based company has 14 production bases, and by the end of last year, its slaughtering capacity was 46 million heads per year, an increase of 10.45 million from 2010. The firm aims to lift slaughtering capacity to 70 million per year by 2015.
Yurun's annual meat processing capacity was 304,000 tons last year, which it plans to double to 600,000 tons per year by 2015.
'Our target for 2015 remains unchanged,' said chairman Zhu. He said capital expenditure for this year was 1.5 billion yuan.
Shares in Yurun jumped 2.93 per cent yesterday to close at HK$11.94 yuan, outpacing the Hang Seng Index, which rose 0.9 per cent.

He went on to release Free Agent (2011) and House Slippers (2014).
Ortiz was born to Puerto Rican parents in Brooklyn, New York, where he grew up in East Williamsburg. He was formerly signed to Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment record label.[1][2]

The same year he was offered a contract to Jermaine Dupri's So So Def label. The deal quickly went sour which caused Joell to start beef with Jermaine. Joell has since collaborated with KRS-One and Kool G. Rap.[5]
Joell released his street album called The Brick: Bodega Chronicles April 24, 2007, on Koch Records. The album was recorded while Joell was trying to get signed and going through some tough times personally.[6]
Although he was signed to Aftermath Entertainment, Dr. Dre allowed him to release the street album on Koch Records.[2] The Brick features productions from Showbiz, The Alchemist, Domingo, Ho Chi from Killahertz Productions, Lil' Fame of M.O.P., Novel, and Moss, among others.[2] Guest spots include Big Daddy Kane, Styles P, Big Noyd, M.O.P, Akon, Immortal Technique, Grafh, Ras Kass, Stimuli, and Novel.[2]
Ortiz is one quarter of the supergroup Slaughterhouse who released their highly anticipated Slaughterhouse EP on February 8, 2011.[7] The group released their second studio album, Welcome to: Our House, on August 28, 2012.[8]
Music careerEdit
2007–10: The Brick: Bodega Chronicles and joining SlaughterhouseEdit
Though signed to Aftermath, Ortiz released an album titled The Brick: Bodega Chronicles April 24, 2007 on Koch Records.[9] The Brick features production by Showbiz, Street Radio, and The Alchemist, among others. Guest artists include rappers Big Daddy Kane, Styles P, Big Noyd, Akon, Immortal Technique, Grafh, and Ras Kass.[10] Ortiz parted ways with Aftermath Entertainment on April 15, 2008.[11]
2009 was a busy year for Ortiz, as he released a number of freestyles and remixes leading up to the Road Kill mixtape.[12] Among these was "Stressful" a song that remixed Drake's "Successful."[13]
Joe Budden reached out to Crooked I, Royce da 5'9", Joell Ortiz, and Nino Bless for a track titled "Slaughterhouse" on his digital release, Halfway House.[14]
Based on the reception of the track, they decided to form a super-group, minus Nino Bless, and named it after the first song they made together.[14] They released numerous songs throughout early 2009, building a buzz for their self-titled album which was released through E1 on August 11, 2009.[15] The album features production from Alchemist, DJ Khalil and Mr. Porter, plus guest appearances from Pharoahe Monch, K-Young, and The New Royales.[16] In January 2011, the group signed to Shady Records and left E1 Entertainment.[17]
2010–present: Free Agent and House SlippersEdit
Ortiz started to have problems with E1 Entertainment and after almost a year, Ortiz left the label on November 5, 2010.[18] In August 2010, Ortiz was in talks, about signing a deal with Steve Rifkind's label SRC Records. However the deal was never finished.[19]
In an October 31, 2010, interview on Conspiracy Worldwide Radio, Ortiz discussed his relationship with Eminem and the flood of record labels that have flocked to sign him after his Free Agent album was released. He also spoke of Eminem's excitement at working with him.[20]
During Slaughterhouse 2012 tour, the group stopped in Las Vegas, Nevada at Bootleg Kev's radio show, where they talked about their album Welcome to: Our House, and their work with Eminem. It was revealed that Ortiz signed with Shady Records as a solo act.[21] In 2012, Joell as part of the group Slaughterhouse released their second album Welcome To Our House on August 28, 2012.[22]
On September 16, 2014, Ortiz released his third studio album House Slippers. The album features guest appearances from, among others, B.o.B, Royce da 5'9", Joe Budden, Crooked I, and Maino. The album was supported by the singles "House Slippers" and "Music Saved My Life".[23]
Following the release of his 2011 song "Big Pun Back", Ortiz received criticism from Liza Rios (Pun's widow), along with former Terror Squad members Cuban Link and Tony Sunshine, claiming that the song was "disrespectful" to the late rapper's memory. Ortiz claims the song was meant to be a tribute, and later Fat Joe spoke up in his defense.[24]

Coen brace seals Mayo three-in-a-row triumph
A flurry of goals, one from the penalty spot, sealed Mayo's third Connacht title in a row.
The game was swinging slightly towards Galway, who had taken an early second-half lead through Peadar O Griofa, when captain Cillian O'Connor (right) was pulled down in the square and the resultant penalty was dispatched by Danny Kirby.
Before Galway had a chance to recover from that goal, they were struck by a thunderbolt inside a minute from Darren Coen as Mayo took a commanding five-point lead.
Any chance of Galway getting back into the game was dispelled on 46 minutes when Coen nailed his second and Mayo's third goal when his low drive crept in between the 'keeper and the upright.
A low-scoring first half -- it was a point apiece after 14 minutes -- was largely forgettable until Mayo gifted Galway a goal on 24 minutes. Three frees in a row from O'Connor had Mayo three points ahead when, despite goalkeeper Paul Mannion saving a tame effort along the ground from Galway's Paul Varley, the Mayo 'keeper was dispossessed by Varley who had the easiest of tasks of toe-poking the ball to an empty net.
It put Galway on level terms and they took the lead for the second time in the game when substitute O Griofa was on target from play.
Mayo responded before the break with a good finish from Sean Kelly after one of the better moves from the defending champions. An early second-half point from O Griofa had Galway back in front but then came the Mayo goal rush, three inside five minutes.
Scorers -- Mayo: D Coen 2-1, C O'Connor 0-4 (0-4f), D Kirby 1-1 (0-1pen), S Kelly, C O' Shea and R Quirke 0-1 each. Galway: P O Griofa 0-5 (0-3f), P Varley 1-0, S Maughan 0-3, N Quinn 0-2.
Mayo -- P Mannion; B Harrison, N Freeman, C Twomey; R Quirke, C Walsh, C Horan; D Kirby, S McGarry; F Durkan, M Forde, S Kelly; C Costello, D Coen, C O'Connor. Subs: J McDonnell for Costello (36), A Leonard for Kelly (52), C O'Shea for Forde (53).
Galway -- J Keane; P Ezergalis, J Shaughnessy, T Curran; M Loughnane, M Kelly, P Varley; E Commins, M O'Donnell; N Quinn, F O Curraoin, C Rabbitte; C O'Neill, N Breathnach, S Maughan. Subs: D Black for Kelly (20), P O Griofa for Donnell (24), F O Bearra for Shaughnessey (h-t), E McCann for Breathnach (53),J Vaughan for Loughnane (49).
Ref -- D Hunt (Roscommon).

There is so much more you guys could add. You offer so much more and the history of the store is so much deeper. This is good start, but I would like to see more.
Keep up the great work!
I was in your wonderful shop this past weekend and loved the shop! I'm so glad I found your shop with the help of the hotel directory (Little American) where your shop was mentioned….and my car's navigation. I bought way way too much, but could have stayed all day. Loved nearly everything I saw in the shop and really enjoyed the staff. Wished you had a little more fabric, but I bought a couple of your BOMs and have plenty to do.
Thanks so much for a wonderful experience! I am sure I will be visiting your online shop. i loved the cute little baby knitted hats and sweaters. I just wish I had the skills to knit. I crochet, but can't read a pattern too well.
I love the picture of your shop, I now have to visit, I have taken classes from Lori and I have been looking for a knit shop. See you soon!
Any chance that you are open on memorial day??
Greetings from Australia….What a wonderful website…just found it.

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing the bib idea, i am getting ready to start on bibs for some very special friends of mine that are way bigger than that of a baby though the concept will be the same. Thank you again for sharing this.
With regard to the peacock scarf: instructions say size 8 needle is that mm or US?
I WANT TO BE ON YOUR E MAIL LIST. Are there any beginning quilting classes before summer
i started making the romantic Ruffle Scarf and I am at 329 stitches on a 60 in circular needle. I cannot go any further because there isn't anymore room. Do anyone make needles longer than 60 inches". what size would I need to accomodate 1280 stitches?
Trying to find ur PDF patterns?????
Do you still have a store in sugarhouse?
Really sad to see your beautiful and unique shop close in Sugarhouse. It was always so fun to shop there and your fabrics and patterns were the best. I'm glad I can keep in touch with you here. Hope to see you open another shop in the near future.

Day 1
Friday, July 05, 2013
So while perusing Pinterest last night I came across a weight loss before and after. After reading her story I thought hard about my own battle with weight loss. I have been recently trying to make small changes to my diet to help with weight loss but nothing that will really get the weight off and keep it off. I have 4 kids that have more energy in their pinky fingers than I do in my whole body and I would love to be able to play with them the way they want me to.
The other thing that happened that really made me want to get the weight off is an injury to my knee. A couple of years ago my knee went out of place because I stepped wrong. Yesterday while moving some things from our old house to our new one I did it again. I know that my joints will be better if they didn't have the extra 130 pounds on them.
All this said I am more determined than ever to lose it this time but still not really sure where to begin. So if anyone has advice I'm all ears. Thanks and God bless.

How about setting some goals?? I know it's hard with 2 kids so I can only imagine how hard it is with 4 kids!!!
So we (I say we because I include myself) to come up with something easy and doable that we will stick to. It easier said than done, I know that for a fact but what is ONE change that would be easy for you to make?? Switching sodas for water at least once a day?? Getting in 10mins of movement? Avoiding sweets at least every other day?? Not snacking in between meals?? Ok LOL that one was for me.
Small changes add up!! Pick a place and I'll start right there with you. I could use a buddy to get me going on my journey. Interested?? ?
