RV Traffic Laws
Recreational vehicles (RVs) come in many different shapes and sizes: A small pop-up camper, a shell on a pickup truck, and a large motor home are all considered RVs. Most traffic laws that apply to other cars on the road also apply to RVs. But certain rules apply specifically to RVs.
Lane Usage
Drivers must stay in the right lane when driving an RV except when passing, preparing to make a turn, or going on or off the highway. If the highway has four or more lanes in either direction, you must stay in either of the extreme right lanes.
Trailer Lights
When your RV includes a trailer, it is important to keep in mind that the trailer's weight often forces the RV's headlights upward so that they glare into the eyes of oncoming drivers. This is illegal; you must check your headlight alignment once the trailer is attached.
Checking with any neighborhood associations or cities where you plan to stop, to see if they have any rules or ordinances against parking RVs. Many residential neighborhood homeowner associations will let RVs be parked for short periods of time, but not overnight.

The enterprise data storage market is going through a once-in-a-decade transition, now that all the key players – from the biggest incumbents to the smallest startups – have settled on their strategies for deploying flash in the data center.
Over the past six years, I've been able to observe the market trends in enterprise data storage, having joined Nimble Storage as the sixth employee (and the first outside engineering) in May 2008. Our vision at Nimble's inception was that over the next decade, solutions built on a new generation of modern flash architectures would displace the multi-billion dollar product lines that make up the majority of the storage market. Today we remain more convinced than ever.
During that time, flash has had an undeniable impact on the market, with virtually all of the incumbent storage vendors adding flash to their legacy disk-based platforms. The resulting "hybrid" storage solutions have become the de facto storage market. Meanwhile, a number of startups and incumbents have developed (or acquired) a new generation of flash-only arrays.
But now that flash storage products have become mainstream, enterprise IT architects have had time to assess the relative merits of different product and technology approaches. And it's clear the conversation has now shifted:
- Customers are quickly learning that products that bolt a flash tier onto a disk-based storage system designed twenty years ago can't deliver performance and capacity in the real world without significant compromises;
- Flash-only arrays have generated buzz by appearing to offer higher performance, but despite heroic data reduction efforts remain too costly and impractical for the vast majority of mainstream applications that require a flexible blend of performance and capacity. IT organizations are increasingly constrained on budgets and staffing, and introducing a new silo of storage for high performance, low-capacity workloads adds significant new cost and complexity.
For example, in the hybrid market EMC just announced the newest generation of their entry-level VNXe platform – the VNXe 3200. It adds faster processors, more memory and the VNX2 software stack introduced last year to improve topline specs over the prior generation. This release, like the VNX2 launched last year, still remains a spindle-bound architecture at its core, offering only incremental steps to better leverage flash (e.g. the glacial tiering process used to shoehorn flash in). Fundamental improvements remain out of reach, because like the entire VNX product line, the new VNXe remains hampered by the underlying 20+ year old disk-based file system at its heart.
In contrast, Nimble took a fundamentally different approach. Our CASL architecture leverages multi-core processors and a new data layout that converts random writes into sequential writes. This allows dense, low-cost 7200 RPM disks to consistently perform at SSD speeds, eliminating the need to depend on disk spindles for performance. And CASL's SSD read cache is much more efficient and responsive than tiered flash. As a result, Nimble typically requires only one-third to one-fifth of the hardware of our competitors to deliver the same or better performance and capacity. Add on highly efficient snapshots and replication, plus the ability to independently (and non-disruptively) scale performance and capacity, and you start to see why we have gained such momentum in the market.
At the other end of the market, EMC introduced its flash-only XtremIO products last November. While the offering claims to deliver predictable latency and hundreds of thousands of IOPS in a scale-out cluster, not only is it too expensive, like other flash-only offerings, it lacks the ability to scale capacity as well as core data protection functionality such as snapshots, and replication required for the mainstream market.
As a result, the industry debate between hybrid and flash-only systems largely comes down to the applications you need to support. Hybrid storage systems are affordable, but typically limited to relatively small amounts of flash. Most also offer less top-line performance than flash-only systems. Flash-only systems claim to deliver high and predictable performance (there are growing questions about even this) but are very costly for mainstream applications and data protection (who can afford to keep snapshots on flash?).
But what if your storage architecture could deliver the performance of flash-only systems and the efficiency and capacity of a hybrid? Stay tuned.

Anthropologist and social critic Ghassan Hage explores one of the most complex and troubling of modern phenomena: the desire for a white nation. In this prickly, strongly argued book, he asks whether that desire is indeed limited to "racists." Drawing upon the Australian experience, Hage draws conclusions that might also be applicable in France, the United States, of Great Britian, each being examples of multicultural environment under the control of white culture. Hage argues that governments have promise white citizens they would lose nothing under multiculturalism. But on the ground - where people live - migrant settlement has changed neighborhoods, challenged white control, created new demands from non-whites, and led to white backlash. This provocative book suggessts that white racists and white multiculturalists may share more assumptions than either group suspects.
Using the experience of immigration policy and the rise of Pauline Hanson's neo-fascist One Nation party in Australia, Hage (anthropology, U. of Sydney) argues that white racists and tolerant multiculturists both see their nation structured around a white culture that they control, with aboriginal people and migrants as exotic objects. His study was first published in 1998 by Pluto Press in Australia and Comerford and Miller in Britain. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

I'm a salad lover of all kinds, I don't discriminate. However, I really love my salads chopped. All those Dahlicious goodies in bite sized pieces so that you get a little of everything in one bite - perfection. So today's lunch is a chopped salad of sorts. I've also recently been inspired by shaved/chopped brussels sprouts. In Chicago they are quite trendy in the restaurant scene, and recently Trader Joe's started selling pre-chopped brussels sprouts in the produce section, just my luck! I love using them in salads because they change things up (lettuce can get tiresome) and they add a crunch while being JUST the right size for those chopped salad bites of goodness.
On the Menu: Brussels sprout chopped salad with: baby heirloom tomatoes, marinated artichoke hearts, baby pea shoots, scallions, and dates.
How To:
The Dressing:
You can use plain old oil and vinegar but today I spiced it up by adding brown grainy mustard, organic blue agave, black pepper, and dried oregano. Just a dash of each, whisk it with a fork.
The Salad:
Put the brussels sprouts in a large salad bowl and pour the dressing over the brussels sprouts giving them a good mix, then let them sit while you chop the other veggies. Since they are rather crunchy it's good to let them absorb some of the dressing before digging in. Next chop up whatever you've got on hand. For me it was a combo of veggies I had leftover from my weekly grocery run and those wonderful dates I couldn't help but adding to the cart. This was another bit of inspiration I recently had... While studying abroad in southern Spain I was introduced to some Moroccan food that had dates in the sauces and I fell in love with them. Now they too are quite trendy, and having just spent the long MDW weekend in Palm Dessert, I enjoyed a famous Date Shake from Shields Date Farm and decided I NEEDED to pick some up at the grocery store. They add a great sweet touch - just like crasins or other dried fruits do.

This was simple and a good use of what I had in the fridge, not to mention healthy! Hope yall are eating a Dahlicious lunch too!

The basic plan for my trip
College Station Travel Blog› entry 1 of 6 › view all entries
June 10th, 2008 – by: volksdraggin
Not swayed from my desire to travel, I did some soul searching to figure out what route I wanted to take. I had already invested a large amount of money into my unusable bus, I needed something that would allow me and my dog to travel in comfort and I wanted to do it without having to fear the price of gas. I considered doing long distance biking, finding a honda motor that mounts on a bike that puts out 175 miles per gallon, but while I was younger and travelling in Mexico, I would remember seeing the long distance bikers and how nasty/dirty they were and that idea was completely out of the question. I finally settled on buying a sail boat. Doing this, I could motor around if I wanted to and use the wind as my main source of power, never being required to keep using gas if I didn't want to.
After a good amount of soul searching, I came across a 1968 Westerly Sail boat, 30 foot in length and 8 foot wide. This boat came on craigs list in Houston and I watched it for a while. The price the owner was looking for was around my budget, but it looked like it would require some work to get it 100%. After contacting the owner, I asked him if he was willing to take less. He informed me that he would have to discuss it with his wife before he could give me a answer and that he would call me at the end of the week.
Looking on ebay, I noticed the same boat was up for auction. Jumping on the chance, I bid on the boat and held the highest bid for 5 or so day at a 1/5 of what the price on Craigs list was.
I call my good friend Huy and let him know of my new purchase, just to have him let me know he has been in my boat already. Comes to find out, the owner of the boat was the father of his girlfriend. I just had to laugh at how crazy everything came together, I think this boat was ment for me.

Different procedures require different recovery times. You are able to avoid any issues in the event you ensure that you comprehend the procedure fully.
When you don't desire to compromise final results by economizing your surgical treatment, there are legitimate methods to decrease the costs involved. You can find excellent plastic surgery work done away from America for a tiny part of the cost. Of course, not everybody can perform this, but you might like to contemplate it.
Just before rushing into any cosmetic procedure, take into consideration other options that can help you accomplish a similar results. Often, there are less-invasive steps that may be delivered to minimize the matter. A fresh home care regimen, a course of treatment from the dermatologist, or maybe a new cosmetic strategy may be able to reduce or eliminate the requirement for surgery.
Before having surgery take the time to look at the surgery center. If you're having an outpatient procedure in your regular doctor's clinic, ask him if they can show you the operating areas. This will help relax and feel safe once the period of the surgery comes.
Research whenever you can to find a good potential doctor. You happen to be not likely to risk your life, but you can get lower than desirable results if you choose a bad surgeon. Research a number of cosmetic surgeons and solicit referrals from trusted friends and family members who definitely have enjoyed a similar procedure done.
It is essential to realize that cosmetic surgery hurts so you might be left by using a scar. Most people are unaware of how painful the impact in the cosmetic surgical treatments are. You ought to be mentally ready for pain throughout your recovery in order to heal more rapidly.
Research as much as possible to locate a good potential doctor. Many surgeries usually are not dangerous, but selecting the wrong doctor can be extremely risky. Research many different cosmetic surgeons and solicit referrals from trusted relatives and buddies who definitely have had a similar procedure done.
Conduct a lot of research just before speaking to your doctor about your desired procedure. Fully ready yourself to the procedure by reading just as much information as possible concerning the procedure and the recovery. Also, it might be wise to talk with a previous patient.
When thinking about plastic surgery, make sure you find what kind of aftercare you will need. You should know this so that you can ask other people to assist you should you need some additional help.
When contemplating having plastic cosmetic surgery, be realistic. Plastic surgery will not be as miraculous as it seems there are distinct limitation to what can be achieved with the procedures.

You may want to seek specialist help dependant upon what you're experiencing.
When you find yourself thinking of having cosmetic surgery, ensure that you find out what the expected recovery time is. You need to make sure you may have adequate time and energy to heal if you have plans to visit a wedding event or another event scheduled for shortly after your surgery date. You don't need to have a huge event planned for a day after a surgery!
You need to relax and rest a good deal following your surgery. It is customary that you intend to require time off for the reasonable period and avoid any stressful physical exercises for a number of weeks post-surgery. Keep these guidelines under consideration so you will have a good experience.

LES will begin late Mon night and taper off on Wed. Dry low levels may limit accumulations some, but generally expect a few inches of snow in the NW wind snowbelts. Looks like maybe an advisory level event if anything. No significant impacts expected for Wed travels, since LES will be lighter by then and only impacting a small portion of the CWA as winds turn more westerly. Potential exists for a more significant winter system and following moderate LES Fri into the weekend, but there still plenty of uncertainty with the track/strength of the low.

Trubnikov said his company is looking for land in Saaremaa to grow berries and moss for a line of Estonian cosmetics, adding that Estonia has a good image in the world and in Russia.

|The CP5411 is a card provided by Siemens as a cheaper alternative to the CP5412A2. Can I use it with the Siemens S7 (SSEVEN) Citect Device Driver.
|The Citect device driver for
communications to the S7-300 and S7-400 range of PLCs uses the
Siemens S7 SAPI functions, and tests using the CP5412A2 have been
successful. The CP5412A2 has allowed communications directly to the
MPI port on the processor at 187kbaud, and to the communications
processor, the CP342-5DP at 1.5Mbaud.
The CP5411 however has a design feature that requires PC memory reserved between 15Meg and 16Meg in RAM. As most standard PCs on the market these days do not support the exclusion of this area of memory, the PC would need to have less than 15Meg installed and would likely be limited to a total of 12Meg of RAM, insufficient for most Windows operating systems and almost impossible to obtain. (We have been notified that Siemens Nixdorf PCs allow the exclusion of this area of memory. As most of our customers do not use these PCs the following comments are still applicable) As a result, although the Citect driver will support the use of the CP5411, Ci Technologies will not support the use of the CP5411 in the near future (however this situation may change without notice). Customers choosing to use the CP5411 with a Citect system will be solely responsible for this course of action.
The CP5412A2 also presents the greatest performance, and we are recommending this card as a basis for low and medium speed communications, with Ethernet for high speed communications (not tested at this stage).

Modules, 2001
Curated by Peter Franck and Kathleen Triem
Participating artists: Mikyung Kim, Stefanie Nagorka, Donna Nield, John Powers and Gary Quinonez.
Modules was a reexamination of a particular strategy for making sculpture. Instead of focusing on the solidity and indivisibility of an isolated object, the pieces presented in this show used the device of reproduction and combination of elements in a multitude of strategies.

That's the thing with magic. You've got to know it's still here, all around us, or it just stays invisible for you."...prompt given for Hogwarts Online Forum
Disclaimer: Still not mine.
Lily sat on the ground in the back yard, a bottle of orange soda nestled in the diamond of her legs and a biscuit between her teeth. She had not moved for five full minutes, a fact not lost on her mother.
"Harry?" Ginny called from her vantage point at the window above the kitchen sink. "What is she doing?"
Harry padded over, wearing only his pyjama bottoms and holding a mug of hot tea between his hands. "She's going to catch a cold."
"Not that. I mean…look at her."
"I dunno," he said with a yawn. "We're out of milk."
"How should I know? She's…playing."
"I don't think so. Yesterday she put a shoe on her head and sat for almost fifteen minutes without moving."
"I didn't ask."
"Wise." He leaned over, kissed her cheek and returned to the table. "She shouldn't be eating sweets before breakfast."
"She's not. She's just sitting there." Ginny's brow wrinkled in concentration as she chewed on a fingernail. "Do you think there's something…you know…wrong with her?"
"Not as wrong as a grown woman biting her fingers down to nubs," he said with a grin that quickly faded when she turned and shot him a glare. "It's a phase. I mean her…not you."
"You need to go talk to her." Ginny turned back to the window. "She's up to eight minutes."
"I'd hate to break her record. You said she made it to fifteen yesterday. Let's give her some time."
"Harry Potter! You need to get her in here. She's freezing out there."
"Why me?" He said incredulously, putting down his tea, standing up and waving his hands at his bare chest and pyjama bottoms. "You're the one that's dressed."
"Your boots are by the door." She craned her neck to try to get a better look at Lily.
"Fine, just remember this when she blames me," he muttered.
He grumbled as he slid his boots over bare feet and took the only jumper off the hook, throwing it over his shoulders and then stomped into the yard. Sitting down in front of Lily, he waited for her to talk first.
"Button?" he called her after she had reached the sixteen-minute mark. "What'cha doing?"
"Dad," she whined, grabbing the biscuit from her teeth and taking a bite of it. "Now it's ruined."
"Your Mum made me," he said flatly, looking back at the kitchen window where Ginny still stood watching.
"You look silly," Lily giggled.
"Do I look cold? Because I am. How about we finish this up in the house before you catch a cold and your soda freezes?"
"It's not that cold." She pouted. "Does Mum let you wear her clothes? Cuz she don't let me."
Harry looked down at the pink angora that he had wrapped around his shoulders. "Not usually. Only when it is really cold and she is worried about you."
"I can't do it anyway," she sighed.
"Do what?" He stood up and picked up the soda, waiting for her to join him.
"Al says that Hogwarts only takes kids that knows how to concentrate and since I can't I can't go and then he said that sometimes we can sneak in and Jay Jay says my magic…"
"Breathe," he chuckled. "Now start over….slow."
He opened the back door and stepped aside, holding his finger to his lips to give Ginny the hint not to interrupt their conversation. Hanging up the jumper, and toeing off his shoes he listened as Lily rambled on about finding her centre and using a focal point.
"Okay kid-o, let me tell you something. Your brothers …"
"Harry? Not now," Ginny said quietly, shaking her head at him.
"Okay, we'll talk about it later. Okay, Button?"
"How many eggs do you want?" Ginny asked as she automatically cracked two for him and one for Lily.'
"I don't have time" He stood and ruffled Lily's hair. "Remember?"
"Oh, Merlin…it's today?" Ginny turned to look at the calendar seeing the big red circle that had been there so long she no longer paid attention to it.
Harry had been on assignment in London. Wearing his normal street clothes, he had taken the train to the Ministry only to find himself in the same compartment as his cousin. He was unable to politely ignore him, and as he would admit later to Ginny a small part of him had been glad to see his old nemesis. Sitting down next to him, he and Dudley actually had a decent conversation.
Harry had watched for his stop, then watched as it slid away, deciding instead to stay with Dudley. Once on the platform he was reluctant to walk away and sensed the same in the almost stranger that stood with him. .
"Do you make it into the city often?" Harry had asked, watching Dudley for any sign of avoidance.
"Got to give a quarterly report. Don't know why. Could just as well send it over in the computer."
"Yeah, damned shame that," Harry had grinned. "Of course I don't use them. I'd offer you an owl but they can get a bit messy."
"Member how Mum would throw a hissy?"
"Yeah, won't soon forget," Harry said, envisioning Petunia screech, her hands thrown up in the air as an owl flew around the house.
"If you aren't busy we could…umm…you know….maybe…"
"Have lunch," Harry had supplied.
They had both agreed to a time and place to meet, then in a moment of embarrassment had awkwardly slapped each other's shoulders and gone their separate ways. Harry remembered thinking how far off the date was, now, he was surprise it had come so fast.
Lily pulled her chair over to the calendar and drew a line through the date, the scratch on the parchment bringing Harry back from his daydream.
"Is he like an uncle or something?"
"Sort of," Harry said absently. "Gin, maybe you can put those eggs in a sandwich and I can eat them on the way."
"Sure, just hurry up."
"Why's Dad eating if he's going to lunch?"
"Your…umm, Uncle wants to see the Eye. Dad and he…."
"Me too! I wanna go too! I ain't never been! Jay Jay went and I got to go next."
"They have a lot to talk about." She frowned as she slid Lily's plate in front of her. "Perhaps next time."
Lily jumped up and ran up the stairs. She finished dressing before Harry was ready and sat on the top step waiting for him.
"Oh, no…now back to the kitchen."
"Please, please," she clasped her hands together and pleaded with him. "I won't talk. Really. I won't eat. I just really really want to go."
"Ya know, it may not be a bad idea," Ginny said looking up at them from the bottom of the stair. "It may make him feel…you know, that he is missing out on his family."
"I want this to work," Harry said softly, then squatted down and looked a Lily sternly. "You promise to be on your best behaviour?"
Even as he watched her head bob up and down and a wide smile cover her face, he knew she would try but not be able to pull it off. "I don't mean good for a while. I mean the whole day or you're grounded for a month type good."
"A whole month?"
"Yup," he bit back his grin seeing her face fall. "Tell ya what. You stay home this time and…"
"Okay, a whole month," she said, jumping up and almost knocking him over.
Later as she stood looking out at the Thames, Harry was glad he had brought her. Perhaps Ginny was right, perhaps Lily's presence would add an air of normalcy to the situation and make it easier to avoid certain conversations Harry wasn't sure he was ready to have. It wouldn't be possible to discuss the abuse he had suffered as a child or how his aunt and uncle had treated Dudley with Lily there.
"Must look like her mother," Dudley's voice said from over his shoulder. "Too cute to take after you."
"Duds." Harry turned with a smile. "This is Lily. We named her …"
"Yeah, after your Mum." Dudley squatted down and held out his hand to Lily. "Pleased to meet you Lily. I'm your Dad's cousin."
"You mean the fat bully he grew up with?"
"Lily!" Harry hissed.
"That's okay, my kids think you're the idiot Grams put in the loony bin," Dudley laughed.
"I didn't know you were married."
"Yeah, about eight years now."
"Hey, how come you don't look like you do in Dad's old pictures? You're not nearly as fat as you look and your hair is skinny. Did your mum take away your sweets?"
"Lily," Harry sighed and shook his head.
"No, my wife," he said with a grin. "Don't worry about it, Harry. Anyway, you'd like her. She stands up to Mum and tells Dad to shut up at least twice every time they come over."
"Can we go up now?" Lily asked, craning her neck and looking up at the top of the Eye.
Harry was surprised to see Lily take Dudley's hand, and even more surprised to see Dudley seemingly comfortable with her. It occurred to him how little he knew of the man, only remembering the youth he had been. Sometimes, when he had thought back on the family he had never been part of, he would dwell on their good bye in Privet Lane and the handshake Dudley did not know how to give, fumbling and ill at ease.
He felt a sudden empathy of the man that he had become, realizing the he had not been the only one damaged by the Dursley family. Now, watching Lily and Dudley standing at the glass and pointing out landmarks to each other he was determined not to let years pass by before seeing him again.
"Do you have magic?" Harry heard Lily's voice, and quickly put his hand in his pocket, fingering his wand and throwing a silencing spell around the three of them.
"Ah…no," Dudley stammered, looking at Harry, knowing this could be a touchy subject.
"Do your kids?"
"Lily? Now is not a good…."
"No, it's okay, Harry. No they don't, Lily."
"That's too bad. If'n they did they could go to Hogwarts with me. Did ya look everyplace? Sometimes it sort'a gets lost."
"Button, not everyone … believes in magic. It's okay though," Harry said softly, wanting to ask how magic could be lost but figured with Dudley standing here now was not the time.
"You don't?" She tore her eyes off the view of the Tower Bridge and looked up at Dudley. "Bet if you looked every place you could find it before your mum gets mad."
"Well…" Dudley looked from her to Harry, not knowing what to say. "I've seen some use magic, but I still have a hard time with it. You know, it's not like….like something you can see. "
"Dad can show you. It's really hard to see. Almost invisible. "
"Some still think it's all a parlour trick." Harry said flatly, looking at Lily's rapt expression. "Duds, come on. With all you've seen how can you still think that?"
"That's the thing with magic. You've got to know it's still here, all around us, or it just stays invisible for you." Lily looked up nodding her head.
"Lily, not now," Harry said tersely.
"I know," she said rolling her eye. "I get locked up for a whole month if I'm bad."
"Easy to tell what side of the family she takes after," Dudley said, trying to joke as his voice broke. "My youngest is two. He was two last month. I…I'm worried about him."
"Do you want me to see him?" Harry asked, hearing the panic in his cousin's voice. "We share grandparents, Dud. It would make sense and not be out of the ordinary. Well, my kind of ordinary."
"Yeah, would ya Harry?"
"Sure," Harry put his hand on his cousin's shoulder and looked out at the river with him. "What's family for?"

The Final Fantasy MMORPGs: Roads Less Traveled
My overall conflicted experience with Final Fantasy XIV still didn't stop my jaw from dropping the first time I saw a dust storm settle over the sky of Ul'dah at night.
But for better or worse, Ul'dah and its dust storms are something that many gamers will never see. Unfortunately, not many saw its distant cousin Bastok either. The roads to the cities of Bastok and Ul'dah, to the games of Final Fantasy XI and XIV, are one and the same. They're all roads less traveled in a world covered by interstate. Still, I like to believe that the scenic route is worth taking time to time–if you aren't afraid of getting lost.
And I mean really lost–nearly everything in both games works differently from what you would think, creating what can be at times a frustrating of experience. However, if you know Final Fantasy's history as an MMORPG, this may not be a new revelation.

i got this nail polish from Bubble Talk Shop on Facebook, if you interested to try this nail polish you can buy it from her, because i dont think there's any Indonesia seller, sell this nail polish.oh ya currently she having a discount for Ozotic nail polish, she used to sell it Rp 180.000/ bottle but now you can buy it in Rp 160.000/ bottle
Ozotic 503 is a clear base with fine magenta purple and gold glitter that can be shift to a bronze and sometimes green color. the glitter it self is not too dense so you need more than 2 coats for full glitter effect. in this swatch i used about 3-4 coats under black base. the color shifting is not to noticable on the nail, it was just like a regular glitter nail polish
so if you notice lately i've been using my right hand for photo, it because i just ripped my middle finger nail and it doesn't look pretty! so it's been very hard to take a picture for this kind of nail polish!

Lawrence Graham's (LG) annual property bill is costing the firm £5.1m a year, according to the firm's latest LLP accounts.
The accounts confirm that turnover for 2011/12 fell from £58m to £56m and operating profit before any payment to partners slumped 31 per cent from £20.7m in 2010/11 to £14.2m in 2011/12.
The firm saw more money going out than it made, with the profit figure dwarfed by the firm's drawings, as members took out £21m in 2011/12.
The figures suggest a higher repayment rate has kicked in over the past year, with operating leases going up from £2m to £4.2m.
Preliminary figures, reported in The Lawyer UK200, showed a fall in profit for 2011/12, with net profit halving to £8.3m and profit per equity partner dropping 26 per cent from £412,000 to £303,000 compared to the previous financial year (19 October 2012).
The accounts showed that the firm agreed £4.5m in new loans during 2011/12, having repaid £4.1m the previous year. Transactions with partners saw £21.2m paid out – up from £17.7m in 2010/11.
This meant that at the financial year end, total partners' interests including loans and other debts due was reduced to £19.1m from £27.3m.
At 30 April 2012, partners' capital in the firm was £11.3m, with LG saying it continues to use what it believes is an "appropriate mix of both debt and partners' funds" to provide working capital for the business.
According to the LLP accounts, LG's net debt at 30 April 2012 was £7.5m, up from £4.2m the previous year. Total bank loans are now at £9.3m, up from £5.5m.
The drop in turnover and profitability came during a year when average staff numbers remained stable. The firm has 186 lawyers and 136 support staff.
Managing partner Hugh Maule has previously said LG is getting closer to finding a solution for its property costs (25 July 2012).
In the 2011/12 review of the business, the firm highlighted its instruction on the merger between Russell Jones & Walker and Slater & Gordon, and also said its international turnover was experiencing healthy growth.
In 2011/12, 42 per cent of total revenue was from international client work and revenue from the Dubai office grew by 40 per cent.
The real estate practice was up 4 per cent and dispute resolution group was up by 6 per cent year-on-year.
The firm said in the accounts: "The fall in profitability was more principally due to increased property costs in London and occupying more space than we need. To mitigate this steps are being taken to let surplus space."

BUT the only reason why she has it is because i gave it to her is about burning a cd for her (a cd for the lab course). it wasnt a biggie for me so i offered her and wanted to be a gentlemen. (keep in mind, im burning this same cd for 2 other people, 1 for her friend, and 2, some random guy). she asked how much i wanted for it but i said its ok, no charge...im guessing thats a good first impression eh? oh yeah, and i do have her cell number stored in my phone. what would i even say if i just called her on her cell randomly? i have bad luck meeting new people (mostly females ). i get too worried about ruining my impression and getting so nervous and whatnot. if i called her cell and something goes wrong, im gonna look like a complete idiot when i show up to class sitting next to her advice, suggestions, ideas, anything?

Twitter / Ken Rosenthal: Fuentes to #Twins. #MLB
Brian Fuentes Stats, News, Photos - Los Angeles Angels - ESPN
Assuming they didn't give up anything of importance, that's a nice pick up.
Considering the Sox search for bullpen help, not sure how he got past them in waivers.
It's for a player to be named. Nicely done Twins.
Because Sale has been fantastic, Thornton will be back in a few days, and there's no need for three lefties. The bullpen has been a strength all year. Just hit a rough spot with Putz and Thornton banged up.
Would rather have a decent starter than more bullpen help.
per my thread, i assume we trade joe nathan for a starter next year
LaVelle E. Neal III (LaVelleNeal) on Twitter
thats ********...in the playoffs with the game on the line i'd trust fuentes's experience over capps any day
You won't be able to get much in return until he comes back and proves himself again. He's an aging closer, and now has elbow surgery on his record.
Never know how the next month will play out. If Capps struggles you'll see them swap spots. If he does well down the stretch then you leave him in there.
Does anyone know if Fuentes' option has been vested for next year?
That's a really good pick up for the Twins. Fuentes has always been a solid/consistent reliever. They're bullpen looks very formidable.
No, and its virtually a lock not too
Trying to find out. My guess is no, I just don't see the Twins wanting to pay him $9 million.
Actually, I think Capps is more likely to go than Nathan.
I would think it depends on how well nathan comes back.

California's new disclosure law to combat human trafficking takes effect January 1, 2012.
What is the law? The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (the "Act") is designed to spotlight human trafficking and forced labor issues and to make information available to purchasers of products and services so that they might make their purchasing decisions with greater knowledge of which companies(1) are actively involved in efforts to eliminate forced labor and human trafficking from their supply chains. The law will have a direct effect on only a small minority of companies, but its secondary effect will be larger and will grow considerably.
Who is covered by the law? Each manufacturer(2) and retail seller(3) doing business in California and having annual worldwide gross receipts greater than $100 million is directly affected.
A company is "doing business" in California if it:
What is required of companies subject to the Act? As noted above, the intent of the Act is to make information available. California's chosen vehicle for this availability is the Internet: each covered company must place on its home page(4) a "conspicuous and easily understood link" taking the user to the required information. The required information itself is a statement disclosing at least "to what extent, if any," the retail seller or manufacturer carries out each of the following listed activities (quoted from the Act):
NOTICE: There is no actual requirement to develop, implement, or monitor anti-trafficking and anti-slavery policies.
How does California plan to discover which companies are subject to the Act? The California tax authorities are to select and collect information based on tax returns they have received on or before December 31, 2011 (and each year thereafter), and provide to the California Attorney General at the end of the following November, beginning November 30, 2012, a list of the covered manufacturers and retail sellers.
What is the liability related to violations? Because the intent of the Act is to compel disclosure, the sole remedy is an action by the California Attorney General seeking an injunction to compel compliance. There is no private right of action; no party is authorized by the Act to sue a company based on the company's noncompliance. The Act is not as ineffective as it might first seem, however; noncompliant companies may risk a damaging consumer response, precisely as expected by the California legislature. Companies choosing to comply by reporting that they have no such policies may risk the same sort of response.
What is the effect on companies not covered by the Act? Not being covered directly by the Act may not mean escaping its effects. As many companies directly subject to the Act begin to comply, and particularly as they begin to implement policies and the methods of tracking and reporting their enforcement of those policies, a natural effect will likely be that they will impose requirements for similar policies on their suppliers, on a business-to-business basis. Beginning in 2012 at the latest, many of them will require their suppliers to impose auditable requirements on their own suppliers, and so on to the ultimate sources of products and materials. Thus many smaller companies across the United States and beyond its borders, and many that do not themselves do business in California, will begin to see such requirements in their contracts. As a result, California's seemingly weak and state-centered law will almost certainly have far-reaching indirect effects throughout the directly affected companies' supply chains, both in the United States and abroad. Without imposing a single requirement beyond disclosure, and without attempting to assert any authority over companies not doing business in California, the Act may very well cause self-policing.
(1)For convenience, this notice refers to "companies," but other forms of business entities are also covered by the Act.
(2)A business entity that lists manufacturing as its principal business activity code on its California tax return.
(3)A business entity that lists retail trade as its principal business activity code on its California tax return.
(4)If, against all probability, a company with $100 million in gross receipts has no website, it must provide the information in writing to consumers within 30 days after receipt of a written request for such information.
You may use the wildcard symbol (*) as a root expander. A search for "anti*" will find not only "anti", but also "anti-trust", "antique", etc.
Entering two terms together in a search field will behave as though an "OR" is being used. For example, entering "Antique Motorcars" as a Client Name search will find results with either word in the Client Name.
AND and OR may be used in a search. Note: they must be capitalized, e.g., "Project AND Finance."
The + and - sign operators may be used. The + sign indicates that the term immediately following is required, while the - sign indicates to omit results that contain that term. E.g., "+real -estate" says results must have "real" but not "estate".
To perform an exact phrase search, surround your search phrase with quotation marks. For example, "Project Finance".
Searches are not case sensitive.

Team Barracuda-BHA
Indianapolis, IN - May 27, 2012 - During a record-setting day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Alex Tagliani and his Team Barracuda - BHA crew achieved a 12th place finish in a hard-fought race.
The 96th running of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race was the hottest on record, reaching 93 degrees, and held the highest number of lead changes, showcasing a new race leader 35 times.
Tagliani quickly drove up to the leaders from his 11th place starting position, even leading a couple laps during the first pit stop exchange, but a problem with the pit speed limiter on his second stop resulted in a drive-through penalty, which cost the rapid Canadian a lap.
"We had a great opportunity to win this race," said Tagliani. "I think we had a really fast car, but unfortunately, a couple little issues hurt us. Thank you to Honda, Barracuda Networks and Bowers & Wilkins for a great month of May. We worked really hard and we're just going to take this one as a team and move on to the next one."
Team owners Bryan Herta and Steve Newey were satisfied with the 12th place finish, all things considered. Herta added, "We're very proud of the effort from the Team Barracuda - BHA crew today. We'd like to thank Barracuda Networks, Bowers & Wilkins and all of our sponsors. We had a really great car - it ran fast all day. It's a shame we had the penalty and lost that lap early because that dictated our race, and we spent a lot of time fighting to get our lap back. Can't wait to get back on track next week in Detroit."

Last night I had a horrifying dream that a group of well-intentioned middle-aged people who could not distinguish between a domain name and an IP address were trying to regulate the Internet. Then I woke up and the Judiciary Committee's SOPA hearings markup was on.
It's exactly as we feared. For every person who appears to have some grip on the issue, there were three or four yelling at him.
"I'm not a nerd," said Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D- Calif.). "I aspire to be a nerd."
"I'm a nerd," said Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.).
If I had a dime for every time someone in the hearing markup used the phrase "I'm not a nerd" or "I'm no tech expert, but they tell me . . .," I'd have a large number of dimes and still feel intensely worried about the future of the uncensored Internet. If this were surgery, the patient would have run out screaming a long time ago. But this is like a group of well-intentioned amateurs getting together to perform heart surgery on a patient incapable of moving. "We hear from the motion picture industry that heart surgery is what's required," they say cheerily. "We're not going to cut the good valves, just the bad — neurons, or whatever you call those durn thingies."
This is terrifying to watch. It would be amusing — there's nothing like people who did not grow up with the Internet attempting to ask questions about technology very slowly and stumbling over words like "server" and "service" when you want an easy laugh. Except that this time, the joke's on us.

Hey Dolls,
I have a fun holo polish for you today it is called TTYL by China Glaze from their OMG Collection. TTYL is from the 2BHot set from the OMG Collection. TTYL is a nude peach holo. I would say this is a work appropriate holo! Its a nice rosy pink, but with holo-y goodness! A jazzed up neutral! I love this polish. Its pink, but with a fun exciting twist. This holo is very smooth and straight, the particles appear more organized and linear. The holographic effect in this is barely visible under low light and indoor lighting, and it actually appears pretty flat and uninteresting unless you're in bright light or outdoors. The Kaleidoscopes, however, still appear sparkly in low light. The formula on this is a little more tricky. This is best applied without a basecoat, as weird streaking and bald spots occur when applied over basecoat. It does not stain, so don't worry too much about not using a basecoat. The formula is also a little drippy and tricky to apply, but this color are well worth the extra effort. I also added pictures of it outdoors in the sun to show you the great holo effect. Hope you love TTYL, so ttyl lovelies, until next nail polish, same nail time, same nail channel……
