The prototype shown here is said to have a V-6 engine with about 284 horsepower and an automatic gearbox. It's most likely Saab's current turbocharged 2.8-liter V-6. Sized beneath GM's current large crossovers, the 9-4X is imagined as a natural competitor for the BMW X3, Audi Q5, and Acura RDX.
The Saab shares its platform with the new Cadillac BRX, but this Saab prototype shows some distinctive touches from the Cadillac mules running around Michigan. The A-pillar has a more raked angle, and it's blacked out; the roofline, too, gives a good indication of this car's Saab design cues, as does the grille opening seen through the camouflage.
We'll have more details on the new 2010 Saab 9-4X as they're released.

July 25 (Reuters) - Shares of El Pollo Loco Holdings Inc rose as much as 32 percent in their trading debut, valuing the restaurant chain at more than $700 million.
Shares of the restaurant, known for its fire-grilled chicken, rose to $19.84 in morning trading on Friday on the Nasdaq.
The company raised $107.1 million after its initial public offering of 7.1 million shares were priced at $15 each, at the higher end of the range. All the shares in the IPO were offered by the company.
Private equity firms Trimaran Capital Partners LLC and Freeman Spogli & Co owned the entire company through Trimaran Pollo Partners LLC prior to the offering. Their stake fell to 80 percent after the IPO. (Reporting by Amrutha Gayathri in Bangalore; Editing by Savio D'Souza)

The small, Rs 100-crore brand sells casual menswear under labels Teesort and TSX through 15 online portals including its own. A plethora of other brands such as Yepme and Zovi are also in this business but what sets Teesort apart is that it has sprung from nothing to a Rs 100 crore online-only brand without running into losses or raising a penny from investors. "What worked for us was the business model and the traditional approach that we chose to build the brand," said Alok Agarwal, 35, who left his job as an assistant director-corporate customer service delivery at Delhi-based telecom operator MTS group.
Giving an example of Teesort's direct competitor Yepme, which registered a loss of Rs 103 crore loss in 2014-15, he said, "While other online companies concentrated on acquiring new customers and spending on marketing heavily, our focus was to sell more to our existing customers."
The brothers first focused on vertical integration of manufacturing, branding and distribution of menswear. This helped the firm dominate a category and source high volume products at low cost. "Hence, every single transaction brought us some profit margin," said Alok Agarwal, business head at Teesort. Their entrepreneurial journey has not been a bed of roses though, the brothers said. There were days when they had to take credit period from their partners and wait for orders to come across. In the initial months, the brothers would pack and deliver the products themselves to gain customer feedback.
"The first order came from a student in AIIMS for a full-price Tshirt with Khula Saandh printed on it," said Atul Agarwal, co-founder and managing partner of Tessort. "We were so excited. We packed the product and went to deliver it," he said. The technical back-end was laid down in France where Atul Agarwal, 33, was working as an information technology analyst with Tata Consultancy Services.
The e-commerce boom in the country helped him look into the future of retail market in India. "At that time every second ad in France was of an e-commerce company and fashion category was big," he said. What reassured the brothers further was their experience with their relatives who came from smaller towns and often borrowed their clothes.
After building the back-end and mapping out the company's manufacturing, branding and distribution aspects, Atul left his job in France and came back to India in 2011. The brothers pooled in all their savings - close to Rs 50 lakh - and distributed its expenses over the next three years. Later, in 2013, after the company crossed the Rs 1-crore mark in sales, Alok left his job and stepped into the business full-time.
After joining hands with another e-commerce portal in the same year, their run rate saw a steep rise. In 2013-14, the company made a turnover of Rs 6 crore and then .`30 crore in the next year, with a 42% annual gross profit, according to its filings with the Registrar of Companies.
"This fiscal year we will close at Rs 100 crore. The annual gross profit margin will be 40%," said Alok Agarwal. The company is now is planning to venture overseas through multiple channels.
It is in talks with Amazon for launch in the US and the UK markets, besides talking to potential local partners in West Asia for a launch in the region. Besides, the company plans to diversify into apparel for women and children this year.

So, my youtube channel, Superhero Dojo is finally (fiiiinally) nearly ready to go and I'll be putting up the videos here as I upload each one over the next however long I do it, because Millarworlders.
In the meantime though I thought I would put up the Youtube Channel artwork and it would be a fun game to guess where the comic book panels I've used in it have come from. Though I imagine this won't exactly be guesswork for most here, to be fair... Know-work, is that a thing? It should be.
That's a great selection of panels. Looking forward to this. And yes, I'd imagine most folks here can get the vast majority of them. The only one I'm unsure of is "Run, It's won't help."
Akira, isn't it?
(The colour threw me a bit.)
The "Run, it won't help" looks like something from Akira.
Ha, the colour bothered me too
Good luck with this anyway, Parker. I'll be interested to check it out.
It is. I used a reprint colour panel because I wanted an all colour pic. I'm changing the panels up every few months though and will do a B&W one with a cooler Akira one in there.
I've been working hard on getting it the way I want it (which is professional and not me in a bedroom on a webcam) and having enough content to do me for a good while to come, thank you all for the support, I really appreciate it!
In a bedroom with a webcam does seem to be the professional model of youtubers, from what I can see!
How long til it starts, then? We're all ready to go, man!
I've most of the first two edited but need to reshoot a few things with better lighting, it's very much a learning process, and I'd like to have at least two getting edited while those two go out... I'm tentatively hoping sometime this week if all goes to plan but I'm subject to bad luck on occasion so for now I'll just say within the next three or four weeks at most, so I don't somehow scud myself, but should be much sooner than that.
Well, here's one of your future loyal subscribers.
If I had been the least bit sceptic, which I wasn't, the image of Herr Starr would've sold it. I love Starr. Great choice!
Thank you! I've around 30 videos planned out so far so your subscription should be worth while.
At the beginning, I'll be focusing on Movies and TV and sort of timing stuff for searches (when specific franchises have a release etc.) a bit more than comics, I need to be a bit cut throat to get the subscriber count up, but when I get a decent following I'm going to push more and more at the in-depth comic book stuff that I think everyone here will find enjoyable like I do. And hopefully I can get to the point we're I can make it entertaining enough that even if you aren't into comics it will still be entertaining to watch. I think I'm getting better at that, in my planning at least.
As I'm sure has come apparent, that bad luck I was talking about hit about two days after I wrote this. First I lost the use of the place I was filming (leaving footage unusable as I didn't want to 'downgrade' location in future videos), then more family illness left me with alot less time on my hands for a few weeks.
So, here is a test video of the sort of thing I'll be doing... I would love to hear all thoughts, good and bad, as it'll help me get better at this. Below in the blurred paragraphs I've put down everything I feel is wrong and needs work so check it after you watch in case you waste loads of your time only to have me go, "Oh, I know," but anything else I'd love to hear, this is a safe space, don't be afraid of offending me
Bear in mind that I realize this sort of stuff isn't everyone's cup of tea, so I don't mind anyone not liking it on that basis, but even then, I'd love to hear any thoughts that can make it more universally entertaining or anything that worked regardless
Nearly all the problems here can be connected me losing the use of the original location I had, I hope to have a new one asap.
Where I am in the frame - I'm now using a space about 10x5 and that makes framing with the right sort of focus behind me incredibly difficult. The room is also cluttered with two sofas, bookcases, two desks, a set of drawers, a cupboard and the central heating system. The camera is invariably against something in every shot I'm filming. This adds to the problem of...
Out of focus picture - While I've been editing for years, I'm learning all the other stuff as I go, over the past few months, and I'll be the first to admit that I still have issues gaining the sharpest focus I can at times. This is exacerbated greatly by the camera monitor almost against a wall or whatever... I'm now using an external monitor so this issue will be improved upon greatly.
Lighting - Because of the space I couldn't do proper three point lighting and the room has barely any natural light coming into it. This meant I was paranoid about how much lighting I was getting and overexposed what I shot, meaning I could do pretty much nothing in post-processing. The footage literally and figuratively doesn't show me in the best light.
Voiceover sound I recorded this straight into the laptop while in bed sick, so it sounds pretty awful, you can hear how unwell I am. I would have re-recorded it but I've gotten sick again and sounded the same for the past week, so would have been a pretty pointless waste of time.
My accent -.I have a very thick accent and I'm trying to reel it in and sound as understandable as possible. I was in a DJing English speaking documentary once for Red Bull along with DJs from all over Europe - Swiss, French, Italian, Bulgarian... I was the only one subtitled.
Transitions - Some scene transitions aren't great (to the standard I hold myself to) but it's a case of get it done not get it perfect, so the time it would take to edit and fix them I'll just use to focus on future videos.
Another wee thing I guess is that my cousin, the first person to watch it, said, "You're not being the most 'Parker' you can be, you can tell you're not completely able to be how you normally are in real life."He's pretty spot on, despite feeling like an introvert in my head (a robot is the usual complaint from girlfriends) when I was a kid I worked out pretty quickly that I hated people worrying or feeling sorry for me, and that the sure fire way of nullifying that was to act as outgoing as possible, hence I finding talking on stage or to large groups quite natural, but in those situations you have expressions and real time reaction to work off. This - Looking into a giant,soulless,crow's eye and finding a rapport - is bloody difficult, but I'm getting better at it.
Anyway, hope yous enjoy it and thank you for the time
Oh oh also, if you are going to share these, which I would LOVE and be very, very grateful, please wait until I have a few videos up, as there's more chance of gaining subscribers if I've more than one video so give me three or four before you do, if you do
Oh, also, another thing... I know it's Thermoptic, not thermopic, blame me being sick and not thinking straight on that, it was the same in every take.
I put this up last night so bumping it for the day folk. It's PG on the NSFW scale.
I really enjoyed that. The skits were good, lots of though pumped into it (unlike everything else on Youtube where they're winging it). Interesting subject, well told. You probably need to do some more mainstream stuff, and focus on everything that's being adapted right now. And better lighting - you looked like an animated corpse. But it's smart and funny.
And I love hearing a Northern Irish accent ripping the shite out of Hollywood movies.
I know, it's awful. I have proper lighting but no room to set it up right now. Overexposing with the iso didn't help.
I'm working on an American Gods one right now and I'll do some topical stuff too soon, when I have some in the bag. Or can or whatever.
I'm really pleased it's coming across how I planned, so thank you, I don't want to do something half arsed and I want it to be entertaining. My sort of pitch to myself when I started putting them together was Top Gear for comic nerds only without the racism and punching.
I'm planning a very special one for when Legion returns that will hopefully be pretty awesome but I still have a lot to get good at before then.
In that case you're going to love when I take on BVS and the Amazing Spider-Mans. I'm going to keep it pretty family friendly (anything in that one was literally as far as I'll go) but I'll not be holding back in ripping the shite.
Don't be afraid to go off on a tangent. One of the best bits was covering the whitewashing and then pointing out that it was a bit ridiculous. Stimulating conversation and ideas beyond just the property itself is when this kind of content becomes more interesting.
You'll want to knock out quite a few of these quite quickly. Constant content is what makes a Youtube channel work. It's a big work commitment but there's something here that could definitely hit some good numbers.
And I'll be able to say I was the first subscriber.
I agree completely. I can be pretty pretentious and probably patronizing, so I don't want anyone to feel talked down to or be bored so it's always in my head to keep it on an even keel and not go too far that direction no matter what the subject or idea.
Definitely, I aim to get ten up as quick as possible for a solid base and then I have ideas like Drunkanory that can be filmed well in advance and give me breathing space between batches. I've planned a good bit in the future (32 of them so far) so I can film a few at a time.
I'm very glad to hear you say that about there being something in it, I really tried to do something that would work for our age range as well as younger youtube users and I've tried to add alot of things that will make repeat viewing worthwhile too. I'll be completely honest, it's not something that's easy, putting yourself out there like this - ten years ago maybe, but you do get self conscious with age. No one I know, bar my cousin, has seen it and I won't be sharing until I feel comfortable in the whole thing, I genuinely think I can hit strong numbers or I wouldn't be putting in so much effort so actually hearing someone say that to me is a big deal, thank you.
It's not perfect, but I think it's a good start.
I know, I was really happy with that. I really needed the support boost if I'm honest and I know you'd tell me it was shite if it was shite, so if I get the big numbers I'll give you one of them silver subscriber awards they give to channels and you can tell people you earned it by seeing the potential and giving the guy behind it some much needed faith in himself!!
I thought his accent was kind of mild compared to yours.
That was great 1 million out of ten.
But points lost for lack of adorable puppies.
Points gained for general goodness though; so that's important

Learn more about the New England Spruce (Clearance)
This Treetime exclusive design originates from the New England regions of the northeastern United States. The evergreens that come from this geographical location of the world are some of the most picturesque and beautiful you'll ever see. New England's rolling hills and jagged mountain tops are filled with inspiration that helped us design this amazing artificial Christmas tree.
The New England spruce needs no introduction. This Classics Collection tree is a visually stunning example of just how real artificial Christmas trees have become (if that can make sense). Look closely at the large gaps between the branch limbs, the wonderful color texture of the needles, the variations of the tip length, and the down swept fresh-cut look that screams of quality and attention to detail.
Two distinct color tones are used to vary the depth and dimension of the tree. This adds to the tree's realism and natural appearance. We finished it off with wood colored branch stems and matching foliage for the center of the tree.
Thoroughly wrapped in premium commercial grade lighting that is tested firmly for durability and longevity,
Treetime's New England Spruce comes with our 2 year light warranty and a 10 year structural guarantee.

- How to Protect Your Camera in Wet Conditions and Keep Shooting! - September 26, 2017
Astrophotography is emerging as a new experience for many photographers. The Milky Way is now open territory for all. Imagery with good story is now being produced using it, pushing night photography to new heights!
Camera sensors have become so sensitive to light, and there are great strides in noise reduction software that help create interesting and compelling images with your DSLR.
As amazing as this is, as with any successful daylight landscape photograph, strong foregrounds and compostions are as critical as ever! The novelty and mystery of the Milky Way images alone are common place online, just as much as a static shots of our closest star, the sun, have been for years.
Additionally, finding clear and interesting dark locations on our light washed night sky planet can be a challenge, but highly rewarding when found. Many of my own captures were carefully considered options in optimal conditions as far away from city lights as possible.
Working behind the camera in a dark environment is a challenge for anyone. The internet is awash in simple to highly detailed technical methods on how to capture the stars. Seek one that works for you and try it in your backyard or nearby open field. Polish your techique before heading out for your first attempt. I suggest keeping your image capture method as simple to manage as possible.
The adventure of seeking that right combination of foreground subject matter with the Milky Way, is an exciting and highly rewarding experience!
If you'd like to join us on an astrophotography adventure, consider our Santa Cruz Island Sunset and Stars workshop. We spend time on this remote capturing the milky way and images similar to the one above.
All the best,

One of Italys best-kept secrets on the beautiful island of Ischia, Albergo San Montano has the most stunning views of Naples, Mount Vesuvius and the Sorrento Peninsula. It is a truly enchanting hideaway with access to the best beach on Ischia, two inviting pools, a great restaurant and exclusive spa treatments, which use water from the islands thermal springs. In keeping with its marine setting, the theme here is nautical. Touches of mahogany, brass, leather and reclaimed artefacts from old ships set the tone. Everywhere you look there are fantastic sea and island views: from the restaurant and the tiered terraces to the rooms and suites. Relax in the natural grotto sauna before taking the Aroma therapeutic Walk in the fragrant herbal gardens. Swim in the thermal water pool, which is warm even in winter. Feeling rejuvenated, dine in the restaurant and watch a glorious sunset.
A reservation must be cancelled 10 days prior to 2:00 PM on day of arrival for a full refund of deposit or so that the guest credit card is not charged for 1 night.

India's adoption of the international protocol for trade marks will reassure the country's potential investors
India acceded to the Madrid Protocol for the International Registration of Trademarks on 8 April 2013 and it came into force on 8 July. It is widely seen as a marker of economies that have arrived.
For businesses, particularly firms considering investing in India, the protocol should have a significant impact. It will help to underpin a strong system of IP governance in India and is potentially one of the most significant developments in Indian trademark law.
One hoped-for result of the regime that the protocol sets out at national level is that the Indian trademarks registry will become faster. This is important because BRIC markets need to be attractive to long-term overseas investment to sustain growth and expansion. Their IP systems are key to this, as IP is critical to business innovation.
New research by Reed Smith, conducted by the Economic Intelligence Unit, has revealed the significance of concerns around IP in emerging markets. The report, Troubled Waters: the Risks of International Commercial Disputes, shows that IP theft is one of the fastest-growing concerns for business leaders. Further, it finds that a growing number of executives expect to face an international commercial dispute within the next two years, with IP likely to be one of the main areas of dispute. This concern is identified particularly by businesses looking at emerging markets, such as India.
So what difference will the protocol make? There are numerous advantages for Indian businesses and outside investors, from the cost-efficiency of paying one fee and using one trademark registration system for several countries, to only necessitating retaining local trademark counsel in countries where objections are rais-ed during prosecution. National treatment is a key advantage as each office must treat a protocol designation as if it were a national right.
The protocol also speeds up prosecutions by limiting the time within which an office of a contracting party has to act once it has received a request for extension of an inter-national registration to the territory.
With that said, there are also restrictions to the protocol when assessing what the overall benefit for a burgeoning economy, such as India's, is likely to be. The protocol only allows an international registration to be owned or assigned to a person or entity who is a national, domiciled, or has an effective business presence in a member state of the protocol. This leads to obvious limitations on ownership and transfer of trademarks and, for some applicants, may impact on strategic decisions in filing programmes.
For the protocol to deliver what it promises, prospective investors in India should work closely with local counsel who have expertise and knowledge of the IP market to ensure effective protection and enforcement of their rights. Ultimately, the real breakthrough for India regarding inward investment will come by continuing to send strong messages (such as adopting the protocol) on the robust enforcement of rights for brand owners.

With Amelia's new found proof of Benjamin's innocence, she could stop the war between the Northern and Southern Dominions. Unfortunately, this information is the vindictive confessions of a two-time murderer who is intent on killing her, too.
After sensing the death of Amelia, his one true love, Nicholas is wracked with heart-breaking grief. His only drive to keep living is his wish for revenge. The man fast-tracked to the top of his retribution list is his cousin Nathaniel.
After Amelia's attack, Nathaniel is also on the war path but in order to fulfil his vengeful desires he must avoid Nicholas. This is not an easy task when the north is already being invaded by the south and an unstable cousin is on his tail.
When the two rival cousins end up on a deserted island, at first it seems that all hell will break lose. Instead they have to play nice for the sake of the woman they both love and have pledged to protect.
With love at stake and a killer still on the loose, neither cousin has ever had so much to lose. The game is on — may the best merman win.

This weekend, nearly over as I write this, was pretty decent - maybe not quite as spectacular as the last couple, especially the last few Fridays.
This Friday began with some baseball, and ended with beer in Bucholtz' backyard, til he gave most of us the boot 'round midnight.
There were a lot of B's in that last sentence.
Last night me and Bobby 'qued up some steaks and shrimp, then we all hung out in the heat at the ol' Scramstad abode. Almost all of us anyway - Gorski stopped by late in the evening for a little bit, and Kels was there in the beginning, but then just suddenly not.
We watched UFC, did flips on trampolines, and Bobby promised to draw my soon-to-be tattoo for me.
In other news, I've got my computer back now, If you couldn't tell. $160 later. Stupid viruses.
Short week this week for me. Monday-Wednesday, then its off to the Okanagan to get blitzed and win baseball games. Notice I said win and not just play. That's because we beat the best team in the league last week. Confidence is high. We are unstoppable.
Here are some quotes, some old, some not.
"Here's the problem..everybody who has a girlfriend doesn't want one, and everyone who doesn't have one wants one." - Bobby, summing up relationships.
Chris knows Sean well....
Sean: I'm going to do some laundry this weekend, and I'm also going to clean out my car.
Chris: Neither of those things are going to happen. You gotta start small - you've set unrealistic goals for yourself.
"I GOT FIDDLED!" - Buchs, after only getting to second base with a youngin' at a party. He also played an imaginary fiddle whilst complaining.
"I forget Vancouver even has a hockey team these days." - Chris, cheering for the Oilers in the Stanley Cup finals.
"Have you seen a seeing-eye dog crap? I don't think they do - how would their owners clean it up?" - Ashley, asking the tough questions.
Rachel: I'd rather take it in my ear than all over me.
Sean: I'll remember that.
(They were talking about beer being spilled on people. What'd you think it was? Sickos)
And I'll leave you with these two from one Mr. Bucholtz...
First, his phrase of the day: Quadicly Aquatated. I don't remember what the hell he was trying to say, but it was either that he wanted another beer, or was going to piss. One or the other.
"I wanna poke this young broad, but I don't want to put any effort into it. It's a real Catch-22."
And there, my friends, is quintessential Bucholtz. Wants to get laid without trying. I don't know how the fuck he does it, but it usually actually works.
Like he told Bobby last night, "Sometimes it's just so easy."
Easy? Jeez, I'm gonna have to start taking notes.
Friday, June 23, 2006
That score above is no lie, my friends.
In quite possibly the most exciting game in the Cannons' three-year history, the perennial under-achievers/alcoholics - they of the 4-14 won-lost record - defeated the No. 1 god-damned team in the division, the 14-1 Finishers.
We hit the ball - home runs by Scotty and Buchs. We played some solid, solid defence - two clutch fly balls caught by Sean; two key outs tossed by Kels at 3rd and one by Chris at shortstop, and two pick'em-outta-the-dirt snags at first base by yours truly.
We had two straight three-up-three-down innings, too, for those scoring at home.
With a 9-7 lead in the bottom of the seventh and final inning, we - of course - almost Cannon-ed ourselves, putting two runners on base with no outs. But then Kels made a hard throw to first to nail one batter - on a play that I thought would be a base hit. That runner was a quick one. Good thing Kels has an arm on her.
Then Seaner caught a frozen rope to rightfield, setting up the next play, which will most likely be remembered from here on out simply as The Catch.
Up by just one run, with two runners in scoring position, Finishers mouthy second baseman sent a pop fly down the left-field line. It didn't look like Scotty was gonna make it to the ball - he's quick but there was a lot of ground to cover. For a moment I thought 'Dammit, this is the ball game right here.'
They would have scored at least one - and probably both - of the runners, thus handing us another loss.
But then Scott dove and somehow snagged the fucking ball out of the sky.
Three outs. (Or three potatoes in the sack, as Bucholtz says). Turns out I was right - that hit was the ball game after all.
"I think it's safe to say we finished off the Finishers." - Scott
Nice job guys.

My computer is all virused up, and is currently in the shop getting fixed. As such, I have no computer until Friday at the earliest. Since I won't be online nearly as much for the next couple days, I figured I'd leave you with this list to chew on, since I'm not in a very good mood, and haven't been since about last night.
- Computer viruses
- Having to pay $120 to fix said viruses
- Double standards
- Bitches
- Spaghetti stains
- spoons
- forks
- people who say one thing, then do another
- people who do it repeatedly.
- work
- people who are either ignorant or just clueless
- not being able to tell the difference.
- people that phone before 8 a.m.
- people who phone before 8 a.m. with nothing important to say
- idiots.
- the scale
- the gym
That is all.

"They call me Dr. Creep. It's because I'm a real doctor - a box doctor. Who needs a little checkup?" - Bucholtz, talking to drunk girls at the bar.
"This game combines my three favourite things - drinking, lying, and swearing." - Me, playing a drinking game that may have been the beginning of the end. (Others would argue the beginning of the end came about an hour earlier when I pronounced myself the only one drunk before dinner.)
"The creamsicle is like the Cadillac of popsicles." - Me again.
'Is that guy's last name 'Hashbrowns'?" - Bucholtz, watching Jarrod Washburn pitch on TV for the Mariners.
"I love taking advantage of girls. It's fun." - Bucholtz. Obviously.
"If you look at my old report cards you can tell exactly when I started to drink." - Buchs, on a roll by this point.
"Sean better lock Rachel down quick cuz he ain't gonna do any better." - Bobby. (Who says guys never talk about marriage?)
Two weekends ago, I didn't do much of anything. Each morning, Saturday and Sunday, I had to work. Therefore that meant early nights, and not a whole lot of action.
Last weekend I was determined to make up for it.
I did have some restraint, however. I decide that I would not get drunk on Friday. Instead I'd save my liver and energy for Saturday's shaker at Ian's house - for his birthday.
Plans, however, change.
Started Friday at Jimy Mac's, just hanging out, having a few beers. Soon after, we headed to Ian's, where a drunk Jer and Lambie already were. And fuck were they obnoxious.
So, about 30 minutes and one ruined card game later, me, Kels, Ian, and Bucholtz went to Fort Pub, where Sean, Rach, Rach's brother Andrew, and about 30 of his friends were getting shitfaced. It was outrageous. Seriously - it was more like a club than anything. Any oldtimers who went there for a quiet evening and a few pints were probably sorely disappointed.
I still wasn't drunk by this point - buzzed maybe, but hardly drunk. Then I ordered a beer. Then 2 more.
Then I was drunk. Then it got ugly. Sean was well on his way to being hustled out of $10 by some poolshark. Instead, however, he was just outrighted thieved of his money. So he yelled at the guy. Then I yelled. Then Bucholtz tried to fight him. Then Rachel got slapped by Thief's girlfriend.
Then there was more yelling. Then Kelsey and thieving girl went nose to nose. Did I mention it was ugly?
Eventually we left, drunk and angry. But thankful for a Friday night that didn't involve sitting and Sean and Rachel's house going "Duh...what should we do tonight guys?"
Saturday was the real gongshow, however. For once, it wasn't just a couple people really drunk and the rest of us not. EVERYONE was fucking plastered. Especially me.
I drank an entire 26 of Bacardi, then somebody gave me a beer. Then Buchs said I could have some of his vodka.
Then I stopped remembering.
Apparently I was just a fucking mangled mess. I don't remember leaving, I don't remember going home, and I don't remember what I did once I got there.
Good thing for me Ian lives about 4 houses away.
In the morning, I checked my cell phone - a handful of outgoing calls, six of the same text message sent to the same person, and a few missed calls - all ranging from 2:40 to 5:58 a.m.
Uh oh.
I talked to Kels later that morning, and the first thing I asked, after mentioning my drunken cell phone use, was: "What did I do? And how much trouble am I in?"
That, you see, is what is usually necessary after I have a night i can't remember. And by usually necessary I mean absolutely always completely necessary.
However, she then informed me that I was completely well behaved, just completely fucked up.
Best part? I somehow didn't even puke.
Saturday, June 03, 2006
He's either real stupid, or real motivated.
Melissa: I'm talking to Lorne right now, and he says he's never once ate wedding cake. Isn't that bizarre?
Me: I'm talking to Lorne too. About how and where we'd go to both become ninjas.
(I think I win that one.)
Me: Then there was the time at Dave's where Bucholtz and Brad nailed the same girl in the same night, and then her boyfriend showed up and Chris told him all about it.
Brad: I don't remember that...was she hot?
Bucholtz: Absolutely not.
"I came out flexing." - Bucholtz, on his birth.
"Hey look, he's just like me, only rich and skinny." - Jeremy, after seeing David Spade ringside at a UFC pay-per-view.
"I'm brown, so I'm hung and I got a g-ride." - Bobby, discussing his new '64 Lincoln, among other things.
"You want me to give you a face wash with my nuts?!" - Derrick, angry.
Sean: I'm cutting back on smoking.
Jer: You should cut back on ugly.
Bucholtz, trying (horribly) to say "it was an accident."
Buchs: It was an acc-time.
Jer: Axe time? what the fuck is that? Like hammer time, but sharper?
"You know what? Rocking chairs are severly under-rated." - Ian
Kicking a hacky-sack around...
Rach: Can I play?
Bucholtz: No, no girls allowed. Unless we're playing "Bake the Pie" you can't play.
"I don't think I've laughed this hard in seventh months." - Gorski

When we think about improving TTS voice quality, we always need to consider the scenerio that TTS are used in.
For example, if the scenerio is accessiblity, TTS needs to be highly intelligible in all conditions.
If the scenerio is reading turn by turn directions, the key information of routing needs to be highlighted and more prominent.
So if you are developing or have an application that uses TTS now, what do you use it for? What kind of expectation do you have on the TTS quality?

Further into the dry down, Memoir Man is getting very, very close to DG The One. Am I way off?
Memoir starts out with a green, herbaceous fern note; kinda like the fern in Phenhaligon's English Fern. This sort of green is not a green that I like. Fortunately, this passes fairly quickly. It dries down into a smoky camp-fire base--it smells as if you mixed some coal embers in with Hinoki. The two issues I have with this is that (1) I am not willing to suffer through the fern notes to get to the dry down and (2) while the dry down is good, this sort of thing has been done better and is more pronounced in other creations.
Thus, my vote goes to Epic by leaps and bounds.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Further into the dry down, Memoir Man is getting very, very close to DG The One. Am I way off?
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
We make a lot of tea in our home. Not tea out of a bag, but first flush high quality $150/lb loose leaf teas brewed for specific times at specific temperatures and filtered in gold. There is a certain fragrance that comes from the leaves when they're being tossed out and I find that note to be very similar to the green opening in Memoir. The same? No. But definitely similar.
DG The One happens to be one of my more enjoyable fragrances and there is to my nose, only the most distant of similarities. I suppose if one had on The One and went to the fragrance counter to test Memoir Man, the result would not smell like there had been a catastrophe with the perfume lady.
Anyways, that's how I see it. Others may know more. :-)
Wow Daryl, think I will stop by for some tea lol, jk. That sounds great!
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
It's unfortunate you don't like the opening of Memoir Man as it is basically half the story. Not sure about the D&G similarity but in case you haven't come across them these threads contain quite wide ranging discussion on Memoir Man, in particular, and how different people read the front and back:
Last edited by mr. reasonable; 4th January 2011 at 08:49 AM.
I'm quite your opposite. I enjoy everything you don't in Memoir Man, and I more than dislike Epic Man. If it was a so-so scent, the collector in me would have just bagged it. It isn't. *sigh* *relief*
Daryl J, interesting. Do you happen to be in Steepster? Tea Forum.
Two steps forward. One step back.
I'm excited yet creeped out at the same time!
Nah....the PacNW is full of cultured peeps. There's always room for more of that. Although I must admit I was irked when first sampling Memoir Man thinking it was really quite good, walking into a Starbucks in Salmon Creek and having the fragrance covered up with Aroma'd'Latte!
Good things matter here.

I'm just blown away by how many people I see post on BN are from OR and WA.

I despise the taste of coffee and Starbucks yet I'm addicted to frags that utilize coffee as a note
This scent takes a few wears to appreciate. There's a lot more going on than it appears at first. The rose and lavender in the heart are exquisite, as is the supple leather in the base that is faintly noticeable alongside the 'glowing embers accord.' The transition from the very green and 'alive' topnotes to the ashen and decayed base is wonderfully artistic, and ties into the scents concept in a brilliant way. A superb, 5 star scent, imo!

I like both very much, but I like Memoir Man slightly better than Epic. I can´t explain it, I just do.
I actually disagree with the OP's thoughts about the opening of MM. I don't really get the similarities to English Fern. I haven't smelled EF in a LONG time, but I found the opening of MM very unique, closest thing being Fou d'Absinthe, but even there I have to stretch to connect the two. IMO, Memoir Man is one of Amouage's most unique creations for men so far, alongside Dia and Reflection. Epic Man on the other hand, I feel is the opposite of MM and is a tad ubiquitous at this point following in the steps that a scent like M7 already traversed.

Is anyone else getting a definite used engine oil/old repair shop accord with Epic? If I had to describe the first two hours of Epic, I'd have to say pencil shavings and used engine oil. But after that? It is really quite incredible. Mrs. J., however, was not interested in it. That means the bottle is all mine! (emoticon dancing a gleeful jig inserted here)

text: I just installed google voice last night as I wanted to try it out. At first it seemed as if it was draining my battery faster. So I signed off GV, and my battery drain went back to normal (about 1% every hour in standby, whereas with GV it was about 1% every 20 mins) Anyone experiencing this? And is there a way to use GV and not have the battery drain as much?

Here's a clip from Episode 3 of Ties that Binds, where the kids are set off to do different tasks.
Category TV
Ties that Bind Season Premiere
Since following Mitchell Kummen's career, I have seen a young boy become a wonderful young man. He has grown so much since When Calls the Heart and even more since Horns. Last night's premiere of Ties that Bind brings back what other shows left behind "family drama". Mitchell Kummen plays Jeff McLean son to police detective Allison McLean (Kelli Williams). The show's premiere was completely tense as all the characters had a lot to deal with since the imprisonment of Allison's brother Tim Olson played by Luke Perry. The shows defining moment at least to me was seeing how all the teenagers acted in the series for me that was a strong point to see. In fact their story is what I loved most about Ties that Bind. I look forward to the next episode. So I absolutely cannot wait to see it. It is most exciting because not only does the show have a wonderful cast, but everyone works so well together. Natasha and Mitchell who play brother and sister in the series have definitely won my heart as they learn to live with the hardships of sharing their stuff with Mariah (Matreya Scarrwener) and Cameron (Rhys Matthew Bond), but seeing them become close was even more cause it gave you that feeling of just joy that they were finally being able to come together as a whole.
For Mitchell, this role has made him become an emphasis of great talent. His anger was something I never really seen and he's become a better actor to make his feelings show through his characters he's portrayed. I feel proud to have followed a young actor whose not only kind, but unlike anything I've ever seen.
If you would like to see Ties that Bind it comes Wednesday at 9pm EST on your cable network.

Google has announced that from now its Public Alerts service will incorporate tweets from disaster-struck locations. If a public disaster alert from sources like the National Weather Service is issued, it will include relevant tweets in Google Now, Search and Maps, as well as on its Public Alerts website.
Google says that the aim behind this is to have the public's tweets help answer questions in emergency situations. The feature is currently being rolled out in English-speaking regions. The internet giant says that it is also working towards adding "new kinds of social content to other products and geographies in the future."
The announcement came via a Google+ post from the Google Crisis Response team. Google says in the blog post: Starting today [June 3], you can find relevant data from Twitter on a subset of Google Public Alerts. We launched Public Alerts to provide updates from official sources, such as the National Weather Service, via Google Now, Search, and Google Maps. Now, some of the more extreme Public Alerts will include Tweets to help answer important questions: are schools closing? Are neighbors evacuating? What are people seeing on the front lines of a storm?"
Once partners in 2011, both companies have faced issues in the past with Twitter once describing the Google's decision to integrate Google+ into search results as "bad for people." This decision could be small, but significant step in bringing Twitter data back into Google products. A Google spokesperson stated that the tweets are sourced via Twitter's public API and not the "firehose," or real-time data stream. Twitter declined to comment on the news.

As a parent I would be absolutely enraged if people in the school did this to my son.
I understand kids with issue need their medication to function better, but for the teacher 2 just ship him out without even giving him a chance????
I think youve gotten some great advice from the girls. I would be filing a complaint none the less.
Honestly, if It was me I'd give him a freaking tic tac so he could tell them he got his meds.
Ugh. Every day something makes me question the public school system.
Thanks to the awesome Rachel for my siggy!

4 Steps to Make Grilled Cheese Great
1. Most importantly, a great Grilled Cheese starts with… great cheese. Sometimes we are tempted to use "easy-melting" artificial cheese. I'll let you in on a little secret: most cheese is "easy-melting" when you shred it first. So, pick a great cheese (nothing too aged, as its moisture is so low), shred it, and spread evenly on the bread.
2. Use olive oil, not butter. Many recipes recommend butter, but in the time it takes to properly toast the bread and melt the cheese, butter tends to burn. Ick. I use olive oil instead – its higher smoke point is your friend here.
3. Cover the pan and cook over low heat. Once you place your sandwich in the hot oiled pan, give it a little press with a spatula and then cover the pan and cook on low until the bottom bread is nice and toasty. Then, flip the sandwich, press again, and cover again. Your cheese will melt nicely without burning the bread.
4. Let it sit for a minute after removing from the pan. This allows the melted cheese to settle in a bit before cutting. And remember – your cheesy creation will be HOT, so bite carefully.
