Early stage pharmaceutical company Ironwood announces IPO terms
Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, which develops innovative medicines targeting therapeutic needs, announced terms for its IPO on Wednesday. The Cambridge, MA-based company plans to raise $250 million by offering 16.7 million class A shares at a price range of $14-$16. At the mid-point of the proposed range, Ironwood will command a market value of $1.6 billion. Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, which was founded in 1998 and booked $32 million in revenue (collaborative arrangements and services) over the last 12 months, plans to list on the NASDAQ under the symbol IRWD. Though the early stage company currently has no commercial products, its candidates include one Phase 3 drug called linaclotide, which treats irritable bowel syndrome, one Phase 1 pain drug, and various preclinical programs. Ironwood's collaborators include Forest Laboratories, Almirall and Astellas Pharma. J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, and Credit Suisse are the lead underwriters on the deal, which is expected to price during the week of Feb. 1.

The rate change is aimed at maintaining the water system's pipes, pumps and wells in Scotts Valley. People can ask questions and comment during a meeting Thursday, Feb. 11, at the city's community center.
If approved as proposed, the increase will hit hardest for the customers who use the most water.
The three-tiered rate increase would take effect Feb. 15 and Dec. 15 of this year and Dec. 15, 2011.
In 2010, District Manager Charlie McNiesh said, 69 percent of customers in Scotts Valley would see no change in their water bills, while the highest-volume water users (6 percent of customers) would be hit with a 10 percent to 12 percent water bill increase during the months when the most water is used.
"The increases really don't affect the majority of Scotts Valley water users," said Chris Perri, the board president.
The following year, in 2011, 51 percent of customers would see no change in their water bills, and 5 percent of customers would see the biggest impact, a rate increase between 5 percent and 8 percent during the month with heaviest usage. The 2012 increase would be roughly the same as in 2011.
The proposed increase allows an exception for commercial and industrial customers that have implemented water-conservation measures, like low-flow toilets and energy-conserving washing machines.
Such a customer — a Laundromat, say — can apply for a flat-rate commodity charge on its water if it has water conservation measures in place.
"It seemed unfair to our customers to have to pay high rates because of the type of business that does what it can to (conserve water)," McNiesh said.
The district estimates that 15 to 20 customers could benefit from the provision.
The rate increase will not be used to hire new employees, directors say, though the district is already operating down one field-crew employee — a position that was frozen to save money.
"We run the district as economically as possible," Cris Perri, the board president, said.
McNiesh acknowledged that district employees earn good benefits, but he said district management did not receive a salary increase in the past year, and staff members received only minimal cost-of-living allowance increases. All future employees will bear some of their health care costs, a change from years past.
He said money from the water rate increase will not pay for employee compensation.

From Topic: Email notes possible?
not optimal, but usable: copy and paste! select what you want to email and copy it into an email body. I don't even think this will be more cumbersome than an "in product" solution. even in toodledo, we would still have to select, click something to indicate email, and then compose the rest of the email. now, we have to select, two clicks for copy, paste, switch to email, send email. not as workflow stopping as some of the other things on the "list." like, hey, how about fixing TextExpander integration on iPhone??????

Posted by Salgud:
It appears to me, though Jake may not want to say so outright, that he has decided the best way to increase profits is to expand TD horizontally rather than vertically, which means adding entirely new features, like Lists and Outlines, alongside TD's already considerably extensive task management features, and give relatively little effort to adding depth.
Having added new features, development efforts appear to be going more to giving some depth and better integration of these new features than to development of the task management side...
While this may be off topic, it seems this is where this thread is going. I am another long term user (always paid, and always at the highest level to support the "team"), that is sad to see the direction that Toodledo seems to have chosen.
I want to see the task management protocols deepened and developed: task dependency, sub-subtasks, even project management with Gantt charts, etc.
I do not need lists or outlines, and don't see that I ever will. I can definitely see that some people do want these things, but not all of us do. people have been saying, for as long as I have used the product (years and years) that they want the things that I mention above, as well as other task processing tools. please don't spend too much time with lists and outlines, evernote and other programs do it better. if need be, work on ways to integrate. other programs have...

so SmileSoftware has officially released their new TE Touch app. I checked their current list of compatible apps - zero!
I'm officially bummed. is letting us time/date stamp entries in the notes field on the horizon?
Posted: Nov 28, 2013
From Topic: Daily Activity Journal
while this is not "change tracking" as you suggest as a full feature, I do use the notes field as a running log. I put my notes in reverse chronological order (newest) at top, and time/date/initial stamp the entry. (I use initials so that I can tell which notes I have made and which my collaborating assistant has made).
unfortunately, there are two sight hinderances to this. since Toodledo does not have a time/date stamp in the notes field (even though they do in the "notes" section), I rely on a third party program: TextExpander. this works great, and does more than just this. however, since IOS 7, this has been broken on the iPhone app.
also, when clicking in the notes field on the web app, the cursor is (IMHO correctly) placed at the top of the note field. however, on the iOS app, the cursor is placed at the bottom of the field. the disparity makes choosing a uniform way of entering notes very inconvenient.

From Topic: Areas of Focus -> Projects -> Next Actions
FWIW, I also use the hierarchy that Salgud posted, using all six levels. most of what I do lives in the task and subtask range. I try to always attach a goal, and group my folders for projects.
however, my goals have become unwieldily, and so I have started using tags more liberally, and will probably consolidate my goals to be easier and more intuitive. I'm starting to get that having less complexity is good, and I can spend more time doing rather than planning.

Posted by Jake:
You'll have to ask Text Expander what is wrong with their service. All I know is that when Text Expander is enabled, our app crashes any time a text expander snippet is activated.
I did contact the folks at TE. In essence, apple quashed a way that some apps were abusing the previous way of using snippets (persistent pasteboard), and changed to a different scheme ("shared snippet" reminder). they said that they had been contacted by toodledo, but were not able to achieve a fix before this toodledo release. they told me they have been waiting for the toodledo developer to contact them again, as they had started to get some good diagnostic data before the debugging stopped last week. I sure hope this happens soon!
OR, give us an easy way to date/time stamp (with initials) in the note field of tasks. this is what I use TE Touch for, almost exclusively. in fact, when I asked years ago how to get time/date stamps in toodledo notes, the official answer was maybe someday, but in the meantime use a program like TextExpander. Please give us this functionality, one way or the other! thanks!!!

Jake, still thinking about gold vs. platinum, and my renewal is coming up soon. I really don't have need for expanded storage, especially until the organization of files is improved. I'm not sure that the uptime guarantee is worth an extra $60/year/subscriber.
I'd really like to have a good reason to upgrade to platinum at my renewal. I'm really hoping that you consider adding a "super" priority ticket line, or some other kind of support based benefit to differentiate between gold and platinum. or maybe I'm missing some significant $60 value? please help me justify the jump to platinum!

From Topic: New Section: Lists
I just watched the video on lists. I am surprised that it seems that lists cannot be shared. my thought was to use a list as a way to make a set of steps to complete for a desired actions (e.g. payroll - collect hours, enter data, send payroll, send payroll tax, etc.). I share this task with my assistant, and am surprised to see that we could not collaborate on checking off items on the list as they were done. I guess I will be sticking with parent task and subtasks for now...

Assuming they did it with all 4 keeper buffs up, this really isn't any more impressive than a guild doing 0 or 1 light with full epics. +40% damage and the health buffs more than make up for the difference in item level. Normal mode Yogg isn't a gear check by any means. And I'm not sure but if this is 10 man like the picture suggests... yeah. Pat yourselves on the back if you like to do that sort of thing, but this isn't an achievement. Rate down the elitist raider if you wish, but this isn't deserving of a news story.

Being the only people ever to accomplish this in the 5 or 6 months ulduar has been out isn't an achievement? These guys put in 110% of the effort alot of the raiders i take into ulduar, and have linked this article to our guild forums to quell the "We're not geared for this" QQ's when we wipe on something difficult (which is the #1 most common thing for someone to say after a few wipes). Our 10 man team did 4 towers, and it took us about 2 hours straight to do so, after spending about 2 hours a different night trying to work our group and strat out. The whole time everyone said "We CAN do this...we ARE geared for this" and we won. A positive mentality and confidence in your group is paramount in any encounter, and this is a shining example of both.

Only the gloomiest of Wall Street's prognosticators got it right in 2008 and 2009. Since then, their pessimism has been infectious.
On almost any investing topic — from emerging markets to U.S. stocks, from commodities to sovereign debt — there are respected experts predicting the worst.
So far, apocalypse hasn't arrived. The U.S. economy shows signs of life. Europe is muddling through its debt concerns. The economies of China and India have slowed but not stalled.
If these commentators, who range from short-seller Jim Chanos to GMO's Jeremy Grantham, prove prescient — and Bloomberg.com will check in later this year to see if they are — the biggest surprise in 2012 would be some truly good news. [Continue to slideshow]…

What do you get when you mix a childhood fantasy to be a Ninja, a voracious investment researcher, and the founder of a research group that trains traders across the United States who have a desire to acheive leveraged returns?
None other than a gentleman who is the Chief Investment Officer of a Northern California wealth management firm, and strongly barrels through all the prognosticating "destruction of the dollar" and "death of America" noise to give sensible, grounded, level-headed advice to very (and, I do mean 'very') wealthy families.
Tim, who I introduced you to via yesterday's post, Why you should be 'okay' with holding cash in dollars, might have taken up cage fighting if not following the path of a money manager, as his passion for Martial Arts has lasted most of his life (for years, he has studied Kenpo Karate, Judo, Tae-Kwon Do and most recently Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu).
His experinece and study of fighting arts, especially as it syncs up with an expansive awareness of seeing the grey areas of life, is what probably has made it easy for him to to write another hotly-debated article.
What could he have written that stirred up so much backlash, emotional criticism, and downright feeble responses from those who are determined to latch on to constant fear and worry?
Simply that if you're going to put opportunistic financial and investing decisions on hold due to a desire to feed your own political ideology (i.e., that the coercion of government or other higher sinister forces will soon collapse the dollar), you'll be left behind.
To sync up with my key point in yesterday's post, here's Tim talking about why the dollar isn't heading six feet under any time soon:
People who are neck deep in debt are in the mode of either giving up their assets in which the debt was secured, walking away from debt that is not secured through bankruptcy, or slowing spending in order to pay down the debt. As the age of deleveraging continues to take hold, the demand for the currency in which debt is repaid will always be there. If you need proof, just take a look at the Japanese Yen since the age of deleveraging was forced upon those people.
The dollar is not going anywhere, anytime soon, as long as the government can continue to require that you pay taxes in dollars, and have the guns to put you in jail if you don't give it to them. If the government, for example, started requiring taxes to be paid in hibiscus flowers, you can bet the value of the U.S. Dollar would plummet and the value of hibiscus flowers would skyrocket. Hibiscus flower seed companies would be the new banks, and businesses would only accept payment of goods and services in seeds or hibiscus flowers.
It is the reason that gold is a store of wealth, but not actually a currency, as I have been wrong to assume myself. In general, you still can't buy most goods with a one ounce gold coin. You can't pay taxes with a gold coin. All one can do is decide to sell the gold coin for dollars, and then use those dollars to buy most goods and pay taxes. So even the gold bugs of the world who call for the collapse of the dollar will always need to be ready to convert those coins into dollars, thus creating an underlying demand for the currency they so despise.
This comment will usually draw out the "every fiat currency in history has failed" remarks, or "the U.S. Dollar has lost 96% of it's purchasing power since the Fed was created" line. Don't forget to look past the smoke and mirrors of those comments to realize that it also takes much less work to buy those products. The 96% less comment makes the reader think that we have to some how work 25 times longer to purchase that same item.
For Tim's full commentary, see his The End of America? Not Quite post at Seeking Alpha.
But, before you do, remember something about human nature:
It loathes striving for anything that requires an element of self-accountable and personally-responsible effort. In the fight between justifying its limiting patterns and meager existence versus making changes in beliefs, habits, and execution that could (and would) bring about grander accomplishement, the former contestant will always win.
The crowd loves to accentuate fear… fear that more times than not is rifled with misinformed paranoia, political ideology, and an interest in focusing on things they can't control (yup, it's easy to escape a self-responsible and independent action-equals-consequences life that way).

It's somebody who spends a majority of their time and energy reveling in the so-called pending doom, and prognosticating "destruction of the dollar" and "death of America" noise perpetuated by overzealous marketers and ivory-tower financial types.
As pointed out by Brad, via this letter, we're not saying to ignore government meddling and over-regulating, anti-success actions.
What we are saying, however, is that if you let the pessimism over-shadow your psyche, and continually fear what may one day happen, you'll always have your money in 'lock down' or 'preservation' mode.
Our core philosophy around here goes something like this: the more we attempt to think we know about the direction of any market, including riding any seemingly easy ideological bandwagon (like the coming demise of the world's super-power, or the value of any particular fiat currency, or generally looking with conviction into any flawed crystal ball), the less we end up earning nice ROIs.
For example: while it DOES seem incredibly purposeful and idealistic to talk about how paper assets (think certain ETFs) just recycle, move around useless money, or are the tools for the political/Wall-Street cartel, keep something in mind:
You can take such worst case scenarios and shun away such flexible and profitable IVs (due to non-guaranteed outcomes, driven via fear), or you can allow your digital (fiat, backed by nothing) currency to go to work for you.
'Cause, in the end, it (digital investable cash) is still the FOUNDATIONAL vehicle to grow nothing into something. And, when you get more somethings, you then can take them and buy real assets with them.
For more, read "Why you should be 'okay' with holding cash in dollars."

Preface by Barry Goss:
In the same vein that caused me to write about keeping your gold bugs in check (see article here), another fellow wise renegade thinker advises to…
Ignore old men writing newsletters!
As Joshua M. Brown points out in his 3 Things You Can Ignore From Now On article, you can either keep focusing your head and your actions around the perilous, prognosticating things in the future — the disastrous consequences that must one day seemingly occur — or you can GROW small amounts of money into BIGGER amounts NOW.
Which do you choose?
Excerpt from his article:
"There's a tiny company called Vibram making 'five finger shoes' that make it look and feel like you're barefoot. They did $11 million in sales in 2009, in 2010 they'll finish with more than $50 million and in 2011 someone in your family will be walking around in them. To buy these shoes, the kids will find the money that all those dour old men told you doesn't exist.
"Old men writing newsletters about 'battening down the hatches' and 'the New Normal' hear about something called Groupon being worth $5 billion and automatically assume 'Bubble' because the company doesn't assemble aircraft carriers — they can't wrap their heads around the hundreds of millions in cash flow being generated by a web-based startup with almost no employees, physical real estate or equipment.
"Mohamed El-Erian probably made over 500 TV and radio appearances in 2010; not once did he tell you about Redbox ($CSTR). Or Netflix ($NFLX) or IMAX ($IMAX). Or Ugg Boots ($DECK) becoming a perma-brand like Nike. Or Green Mountain Coffee ($GMCR) becoming the new Folgers.
"Not once did he mention the fact that fashion and entertainment defy the business cycle and that teens will find a way to spend on new stuff — even against a backdrop of 21% unemployment for their age group."

Welcome to City Fund Management
From the very beginning of the company until the present day, City Fund Management Ltd. (CFM) and its very experienced and traditional management team, have distinguished themselves from others by passionately believing in the notion that high returns are not necessarily indicative of a sound investments.
Our modus operandi has developed over time into a well established pattern of achieving conservative returns which attain their risk adjusted quality through unique management control. The market dislocations that occurred during 2007 and 2008 have only served to highlight CFM's durability during such times, and its paramount objective of capital preservation.
Solid risk adjusted returns and capital protection are the paramount concerns of all CFM products. CFM believes that the shorter the time frame of the trade, the more commensurate it is with better risk adjusted returns.
CFM's multi-strategy and multi-trader style with short term discretionary bias, is complemented by intraday risk monitoring within which correlations are tracked between strategies.

WALKERTON — Bremen is on the verge of a Northern State Conference boys track championship.
But it hasn't happened yet.
The Lions lead New Prairie, 136-127, with one event remaining in the league meet at John Glenn High School.
Horrid weather conditions forced suspension of the pole vault Wednesday night. Vaulters will gather at 5 p.m. today to finish up.
While New Prairie's girls have wrapped up an NSC title — there is nothing anybody can do to catch them — the outcome of the boys contest is still up in the air.
PLYMOUTH — The top community college golfers from across the United States will be coming to Swan Lake Resort in Plymouth next week for the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Men's Division II Golf Championship.
Over 140 of the nation's best junior college golfers from a total of 43 teams will be competing in the event. Practice rounds start on Sunday, May 18 and continue through Monday. Round one action begins on Tuesday, May 20 at 7 a.m. and will conclude on Friday with round four.
WARSAW — At the start of the season, Plymouth girls track coach Paul Patrick had no idea how good his team would be. He certainly didn't anticipate the Lady Pilgrims' stellar Northern Lakes Conference finish.
With host Warsaw in a league of its own, the rest of a tightly-bunched NLC pack was left to battle it out for second place at Tuesday's conference championship meet. In the end, Plymouth backed up a second-place finish in the league dual meet season with a runner-up finish at the championships, the team's highest finish at the meet since Patrick took the reigns nine years ago.
PLYMOUTH — Plymouth made its run, but the rally was just a bit too little, too late.
The Lady Pilgrims battled back from a five-run top of the first by Warsaw with three runs in the sixth, but they ultimately fell short 6-4 in a Northern Lakes Conference softball game with visiting Warsaw at home in Centennial Park Monday.
"I'm really proud of how we played today; we didn't show that we were behind," said Plymouth head coach Haley Church. "We looked like we were trying to take charge the whole time, and it was fun to see them put it together."

CULVER — On a muggy night in Culver, Triton's bats got hot early and stayed hot.
The result was a 13-2 diming of the host Lady Eagles at the Culver Academies Thursday.
The Lady Trojans racked up 13 hits and saw solid production up and down the lineup, scoring runs in all but one inning en route to the five-inning win.

Plymouth takes 1st NLC loss
Plymouth suffered its first Northern Lakes Conference loss of the year with a 4-1 defeat on the road at Northridge Thursday.
Plymouth's lone win came at 3 singles, where Jessica Stillson beat Chase Kieper 6-3, 6-1.
At 2 doubles, Libbie Portteus and Lanae Singleton won their first set via a 10-8 tiebreak but ultimately fell in a razor-thin 6-7 (8-10), 6-3, 7-6 (8-6) decision. Similarly, at 1 doubles, Savannah Mae and Ellen Smith won a 12-game first set but couldn't hold on against Courtney Clark and Emily Erekson, ultimately falling 5-7, 6-3, 6-4.
PLYMOUTH — In a battle of first-place NLC contenders it was Elkhart Memorial coming away the big winner Wednesday night at Bill Nixon Field, taking a 7-1 win over Plymouth.
The game turned out to have even more significance as Wawasee picked up their first NLC win over Warsaw putting the Chargers in sole possession — for the moment — of the top slot in the conference with a 6-2 record. Plymouth, NorthWood and Warsaw stand at 5-3, Northridge is a half game off the pace at 4-2.

Slow news day huh? Welp I guess I'd say that there is something to be said for the utilitarian cost for what this guy did to his customer. It is video game money, which by any normal person's standard has incredibly low value (not to mention that it doesn't actually belong to you). And the amount of the already useless video game money that was 'stolen' is so incredibly small that there can't possibly any value to discussing the morality of it. It's like discussing the morality of a fly landing on the back of an elephant and taking a dump on it. Sure, it would discomfort the elephant if any creature took a dump on it. But if the little bit of poop on the elephant doesn't really matter to the elephant then what does it matter if it was morally right of the fly ? Should the fly have to make amends to the elephant?
I'm using allegory but I think you catch my drift. Delete this post and move on imho.

Arthritis Health Center
Get a New Hip, Walk Home That Day
Two Incisions, Smaller Instruments
With traditional hip replacement surgery, a large incision cutting into tissue is needed for surgeons to see and maneuver the artificial hip joint into place. But with the new technique, the two small incisions allow the surgeon to view the bone area from two different angles, and the smaller instruments allow for maneuverability in the smaller space.
The new procedure also doesn't require surgeons to twist the leg as was traditionally done, so veins aren't "kinked" -- raising risk of a post-op blood clot, says Berger. "So far, not a single patient I operated on has developed a blood clot," he tells WebMD. "By comparison, 3 to 5 percent of those getting traditional hip replacement do."
Others are equally impressed with the Zimmer procedure, which is also being developed for knee replacement surgery.
"With the smaller instruments in the hands of specially trained surgeons, this offers numerous benefits to everyone," says Dana C. Mears, MD, PhD, of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He also contributed to the newly published report and first conceived the concept of a two-incision surgical technique for hip replacement procedures about 10 years ago.
"The patient has a faster recovery and less pain, if any," Mears tells WebMD. "The hospital can release patients sooner. And since months of the rehabilitation process can cost $20,000 or more per patient, and many getting hip replacement surgery are on Medicare, by reducing that rehabilitation to days or eliminating it altogether, the health-care system can save billions of dollars a year."
Another first with the Zimmer procedure: X-rays are used during, rather than following, hip replacement surgery to ensure the artificial joint is properly aligned and installed.
While Berger and Mears are among the first surgeons to do the Zimmer procedure, it's now performed by some 300 orthopaedic surgeons in the U.S., who receive special training by Zimmer Inc. and must be specially licensed to use the smaller instruments.
Not for Everyone
"This procedure is technically more demanding for the surgeon, but patients have less pain and can get back to their normal functions and everyday activities much sooner," says surgeon Donald M. Kastenbaum, MD, assistant chairman of orthopaedic surgery at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City. "I don't want to call it better than traditional hip replacement surgery, but it's certainly a better procedure for certain patients. Anytime a patient can return to work or their regular activities sooner, it's a good thing."
Generally, the procedure is not recommended for severely overweight or overly muscular patients, says Kastenbaum, who has performed the Zimmer hip replacement surgery technique since August but was not involved in the published study.
"I did my first Zimmer procedure two weeks ago and I'm thrilled with it," says Michael C. Racklewicz, MD, an orthopaedic surgeon in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. "For me, the biggest advantage is not only that there's less pain involved for the patient, but there is less tissue trauma. My patient was able to walk with a cane immediately following the surgery, and with no limp at all.
"It will be years before we really know the long-term outcomes," Racklewicz tells WebMD. "But from what I know and have personally seen so far, this new method is really something."

Albany- WALB is kicking off a partnership with a South Georgia grocery store chain to keep you safe when severe weather hits. Harvey's stores are now selling Midland Hazard Radios at a special price.
The radios are NOAA approved and carry over 60 different warnings from tornado warnings to amber alerts.

If someone asked me when I was twenty where I'd be when I was thirty, I certainly wouldn't have aspired to this – a mountain of student loans I can't afford to pay, a not-so great paying marketing job that requires me to still bartend on Saturday nights to live a decent lifestyle, a one bedroom apartment that overlooks I-90, and endless nights where I sit and write at my computer and have five minute long conversations with my dog. Oh, and let's not forget buying all my food from the frozen food section, still hitting (and working) the bar scene, scoping through thousands of hopeless losers on match.com and eharmony and spending long nights with friends lamenting our single status in life as we watch everyone we grew up with get married and have kids.
I'm not going to use this blog as an avenue to proclaim "Yay! Being single is great. I love it." It's not fucking great and I loathe going through life on my own. It's hard. However, after finally leaving a wretched three year relationship, I can say that being single is better than being with someone who isn't right for me. Having the freedom to look for someone who is perfect for me is highly preferable to wasting years in an unhappy relationship. I already wasted three, and I will never make that mistake again. At least now that I'm single I have hope. I had none while trapped with my ex.
Over fifty percent of marriages end in divorce and I figure a hefty amount (possibly 25 percent) of other fifty percent are miserable but afraid to leave. This leaves 25 percent of the married world who may actually be happy. Of course these numbers are made up, but it makes sense. My point is, the fact that I'm single often makes me feel like I'm totally alone. The thing is, I'm not. There are heaps of other singles in Cleveland and beyond. Not to mention, there are lots of others who remain married or in relationships when they SHOULD be single.
I'm single and refuse to settle for less than love. Is it even possible to find? Hell if I know, but I'm going to enjoy the ride while I try. I'm thirty and single in Cleveland – and this is my story.

What's with automakers bringing out two concepts of the same car all of a sudden? First with the FT-86 and the FT-86 II and now Lotus with its Elan and the Esprit concepts. Both concept vehicles were presented at last year's Paris Auto Show, so one would think that the next logical step would be production models for those vehicles. Not so.
It seems that Lotus is tossing the two models back and starting fresh from the drawing board because the two concepts just looked too similar. Now, it's up to Head Designer, Donato Coco, to work on a more optical differentiation between the two sports cars, which makes darn good sense considering the Esprit supercar is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine and the Elan sports car only gets a 4.0L V6 engine.
The next generation Lotus Elise is also getting bad feedback due to its enormous weight gain. The current generation weighs only 876 kilos (1931 lbs), but the next generation model will weigh up to 1,100 kilos (2425 lbs). Lotus has yet to decide the fate of the Elise, but the Elan and Esprit will have to undergo some massive changes before getting launched onto the market in 2013.

Is he only a part of my past?
This guy traveled 30 minutes to my college to hang out for a couple of hours and I thought it went well, when he left he said he couldn't hang out anymore that weekend but that he would see me after break. He hasn't texted me since we hung out. Should I just forget about him?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Well text him, or call him (guys like calls more than texts), and see what's up, if he doesn't respond, or have a good reason, I'd move on.
What Guys Said 1
ya, why are you rushing to such conclusions? you should give him a text and see how he responds. If he said he would hang out after the break then at least wait until after the break to bail.
What Girls Said 1
Sounds like itHe hasn't even gotten in touch to day hi

Create this cool and crafty crocodile for a fun and creative craft.
Form the body and legs: With a craft knife and scissors (parents only), cut two 16.9-ounce bottles in half, then trim one of the bottom pieces to 3 inches.
Use the scissors to make cuts around the edge of the longer bottom piece, as shown, then slip it over the other and tape them together for the torso. Trim the bottle tops as shown, then tape them to each end of the torso, giving the crocodile a slight curve.
Hot-glue 4 bottle caps in place for legs, spacing them evenly for balance. Tape a tightly wadded ball of tissue paper in place for each eye, then tape over the open bottle ends as well as any other gaps.
Cover the bottles: Using the technique described here, cover the crocodile with green tissue paper.
Add the details: Hot-glue on a green craft foam tail, scales, and feet, black craft foam nostrils, white craft foam teeth, and googly eyes backed with semicircles of green craft foam.

My GPOYW would just be a photo of me trying not to throw up.
It's probably a really good thing that Chris and I are four days into a 30 day alcohol-free thing that I've dubbed The Great Booze Snooze of 2012.
The president and CEO of the bank that owns the lease on the cafe said he will not make the space available to us. He doesn't believe that "a limited menu (vegetarian) is a winning combination in our community." He also thinks we're under-capitalized (could be true, but I think we were close damn enough) and that because it's a startup with a built-in high failure rate, he can't judge the level of commitment we will have after the excitement of starting wears off.
I guess he's tired of seeing the space turnover. And he did mention someone else who wanted to gut the space and reconfigure it more logically on their own dime, which is a win-win for the bank, even if that business doesn't make it. At least then they get some leasehold improvement out of the deal.
I'm trying to find that thread inside that weaves all of the things that I know to be true together, but right now it feels as if some pompous overweight old white dude just yanked the thread out while telling me he knows more about food trends than I could possibly know, even though food is what I do for work almost every day.
You know what? Fuck that guy.
Time to figure out Plan B.

On his solo debut, former Edson lead singer Pelle Carlberg doesn't move far from his former band's template: quiet, often percussion-free, and usually acoustic, these 11 songs balance between Nick Drake starkness and twee pop ornamentation. The latter songs, which feature sunshiny trumpets, handclaps, and la-la-la backing vocals, tend to be melodically stronger, but Carlberg seems to prefer the former, judging by the distribution of same throughout this 11-track album. The problem is that Carlberg's pleasant but entirely average voice and nothing-special guitar playing aren't intrinsically interesting enough to sustain the solo acoustic tunes. This is particularly frustrating since full-band songs like "****** Don't Blush," "A Tasteless Offer," and "How I Broke My Foot and Met Jesus" also feature the sharpest lyrics on the album, much more incisive and clever than most of the comparatively earnest solo tunes. An entire album's worth of full-band material, along with perhaps a solo acoustic EP for fans, might have been more entertaining. Stewart Mason, Rovi

For small and medium-sized businesses interested in efficient IT operations, virtualization offers several key benefits. Once virtualization is in place, however, what IT solutions can be deployed to help optimize its use and implementation? One solution is to adopt a multiple hypervisor model. Such a model offers inherent advantages over the single hypervisor approach, including lower licensing fees and the ability to integrate applications across the network more efficiently.
Licensing costs have traditionally been a bar to the multiple hypervisor approach, but the situation is now changing because Microsoft has included the Hyper V hypervisor in its networking product Windows Server 2008 R2. This change will help businesses to pay less for licensing, which in turn will help them to free up funds that can be used to launch and configure more than one hypervisor.
One way in which additional hypervisors can help small and medium-sized businesses involves branch offices. The advantages of virtualization can be more feasibly extended to remote locations once additional hypervisors are in place. Businesses that are considering multiple hypervisors as part of their IT solutions using virtualization would be well advised to think about employing a managed services model to help deploy and administer them.
This is because a managed services model includes remote monitoring and assistance on a continuous basis. By providing 24/7 security features, a managed services approach creates an IT support environment that is typically far more robust than could be provided by small and medium-sized businesses restricted to working with in-house IT staff.
