IPO underpricing and after-market liquidity
AbstractThe underpricing of the shares sold through Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) is generally explained with asymmetric information and risk. We complement these traditional explanations with a new theory. Investors who buy IPO shares are also concerned by expected liquidity and by the uncertainty about its level when shares start trading on the after-market. The less liquid shares are expected to be, and the less predictable their liquidity is, the larger will be the amount of "money left on the table" by the issuer. We present a model that integrates such liquidity concerns within a traditional framework with adverse selection and risk. The model's predictions are supported by evidence from a sample of 337 British IPOs effected between 1998 and 2000. Using various measures of liquidity, we find that expected after-market liquidity and liquidity risk are important determinants of IPO underpricing, after controlling for variables traditionally used to explain underpricing.

You still couldn't get Russia off of your mind. As soon as everyone started putting their dishes in the sink, you put your food in the fridge for later.You dotted up stairs to get ready for bed. You got dressed in your room into a soft pair of (f/c) plaid pajama bottoms and a (f/c) tank top with lace on the edges and straps.But you did not notice a pair of eyes open as you stepped in.You turned to your bed to see the doll with eyes wide open, a soft smile, and a small blush.~Russia's POV~I saw her come in and I was happy.

It was a nice house, not too big, not to small.It had two stories, each bed room had a bathroom connected, you have a bathroom down stairs, twoo small guest rooms, a nicley sized living room, an amazing kitchen with enough room, a fire place,and the stairs were made of what looked like maple wood. To sum it all up, it was a comfy looking home. Good looking on the outside, and the inside look great too, AND IT'S NOT EVEN FURnISHED YET ! If the inside looked that great without the furniture, you could barely imagine what it would look like WITH furniture .Your mom, brother, and you stepped in with you bags, and were incrediably thrilled with the house.

DAMN!He was charged guilty for most of those charges, but the one of the family with nabuse is still being observed, they just need that one to out him in jail.Your mom, brother and you just sat in your hair waiting for the jury to come back with their answer.They had just went into review after the evidence of photos of your bruses, and from what your mother, and your brother and you said about him."You know.

Not only were you away from your father, you have been able to have no problems, and have been pretty relaxed, and content with your new life.It had been starting to snow recently, which made you pretty happy, you were able to play with your brother while Russia watched next to a tree in the back yard. Almost everynight you were able to have the fire place on, the only down side is you had to chop the wood into smaller chunks so they could burn easily in the fire place. You even learned how to make a swedish fire torch which is pretty handy for when you call your friends over to have roast marshmallows in the back yard to prevent goo dripping on your kitchens stove top. You were even able to have sleep overs, which you weren't allowed to do

Being curious she waled towards the door, to see Russia at the stairs about to walk down, and he notices her staring at him.He looks down ."Just bring her back...Please" she said, as she smiled with a tear in her eye."Of course. I will not fail" He said as his grip had tightened on his pipe that had grown with him, into a real water pipe. He slowly took one step down the stairs, and peeked down .He turned his head to the right to see that Sreglof, and (Brothers name) were still talking not having attention at all towards Russia's direction. Russia was about to go down.Before he started, y

Saturday to be specificYou woke up with your (h/c) hair standing up in every which directions possible on the pillow, you sat up and your hair fell in to place with strands poking out here and there in a messy way. You got out of the ever so warm ,and re-inviting warmth of you bed for the cool morning air that you felt everday since you keep a window cracked near your desk and bed.You went to you dresser for some panties, a pair of (f/c) of knee length boxer style shorts that mostly boys would wear, and a baggy, and comfortable (f/c) T-shirt, and a pair of black socks with colorful stipes that go aorund it, and left for a shower.As you did
Frozen Warmth [ Russia x Child!Reader ] 03Russia x Child!Reader---------------------About two months have passed (give or take Russia wasn't really sure) since he took (y_n) in. Watching the young country play with some of the woodland creatures, Russia felt a small smile forming on his face. This new country is so innocent and pure, it would be a shame if anything were to happen to it.And this being the first country he's taken in to his home willingly. Russia knows that he's scary, and one to be feared but not by this young girl. His boss has asked what country you are, the only thing Russia can tell him is that he has to wait and see.For you're still very small right now. It's hard for him to place where the land you will rule over will appear, and how bit it will be. Hearing the sound of a door close, Russia turned around to see your tiny figure standing in front of the now closed door. Staring at the Russian you asked."Russia

Neko!RussiaxReader:Too attachedOne day,you were walking home from school.Just a normal day.Then you saw a bush shake,you ignored it thinking it was just the wind.So you kept on walking.After that,you saw a tail come out of the bush.You went to see what it was, separating the bush,you saw a gray cat.It had this creepy/weird aura. "You..."Was all you said as you just starred at the cat.He starred back,looking deep into your soul."...Okay then..."You said,getting up to leave.The cat brushed against your foot."Neeeeh..."You say as he rubbed against your foot more. "Mew" The cat said.You walked away,without tripping over him.~Le epicly awesome time skip~When you reached your house,you had a strange feeling....that same feeling you encountered with that cat...."Noooooo...."You say,turning around.It was that cat.That.Cat. "If I feed you would you go away?" He just stared into your soul again. "...I'll take that as a yes...."~later~You gave the cat some food,it was ham.That's all you had that he could eat."K,you a
Frozen Warmth [ Russia x Child!Reader ] 02Russia x Child!Reader---------------Crackling.That was the first sound to reach your ears. Off in the distance you could see a small fire. The shadows seemed to be dancing around the fire, tip-toeing just out of the fires orange/yellow glow, but still close enough to be seen by the human eye. The shadows continued to dance, one stopping to stare at you.Sending you a toothy grin, the shadow extended its clawed hand. Its claws dripping with some foreign liquid, turning on your heel you screamed, your cloak billowing out around you. Another fire appeared in the distance, you could see no dancing shadows around this one. You could only see the form of another small body that was staring into the fire. The shadow stopped following you once you were in the safety of the boy's fire.Looking at you, the boys cold, and seemingly lifeless purple eyes stared back at you causing you to feel uncomfortable; you decided that you would take a seat next to the boy. His purple eyes following your ev
Italy x Reader - Tree Shaped Pasta"It's done!" cheered Feliciano happily, as he walked up to the dining table from the kitchen, the food he made concealed by the cloche. (A/N: The silver tray thingy that covers food)"Great Feli! I wonder what it could be?" you said, clapping, though you knew that there was only one thing he could have possible made, seeing as that was all he ever made."Ve~ Pasta!" he yelled, lifting off the cover and showing it to you.To be honest, you were more impressed than when he had told you that he had learnt how to tie his shoelaces.The pasta this time was shaped like a Christmas tree, and somehow, he had managed to add many detailed lines to it, with pasta ornaments and all, making it look all the more realistic.Taking a bite out of it, you told him, "This tastes great, Feli! Best pasta ever.""Ve~ Thanks (Name)! But you know, this is only the best pasta ever, if I share it with the best girlfriend ever~!" he told you bubbly and lovingly, before giving you a sweet kiss.
Frozen Warmth [ Russia x Child!Reader ] 01Russia x Child!Reader------------------------------It's cold.That was your first thought, staring at the snowy landscape you couldn't help but question if you were gong to live or die. Who knows, maybe it would be the latter and you would live, but
you were highly doubting that at the moment.Curling in on yourself, you tried to hide your face from the cold wind, which seemed to be biting into your skin. Shivering, you could feel your warmth slowly being stolen by the wind, and the snow beneath you.After all, you're merely wearing a black cloak, and a white dress. There's not much you can do about changing your clothes. Heck
you're not even sure where you are
.where are you? Where is your home? Was anyone looking for you?No
nobody was looking for you. You felt as helpless as a tiny baby, staring at your small hands, the silver bracelet sliding back and forth on your thin wrist. You looked at the sky; you could see that the snow started to pick up again. The sno
RussiaXReader: Misbehaving LockersThe late bell to first period rang ages ago, and here you were still struggling to open your locker. Your backpack was on the floor and you were yanking the door in any attempt to open it. Your locker was tucked in the end of the hallway where no one passes through, and when you tried to ask for help, you were completely ignored. It was as if you didn't exist. You sank to the floor in defeat, your locker winning the game of tug of war, again. Tears started to cascade down your cheeks. Your books along with everything you needed like your id were in your locker, and if you didn't show up to class with them, it was automatic detention. As your tears started to dry up, you looked at your only escape route out of humiliation and dispare,the school library. It is so huge you could hide in it for the whole day and no one would find you. Silently, you crept through the deserted halls and into the library to your hiding spot. You see, you were here most of the week, that was enough proof that
Hetalia RussiaXReader- To The End pt5You sat next to the unconscious Feliciano absent mindedly stroking his hand. Ivan sat on the sofa opposite with his eyes closed. His fingers found their way up to his temples and he began massaging them."What is it?" You found yourself asking. "What's wrong?"Ivan's eyes peeled open. He looked to be in discomfort. "This is something
" He seemed to have difficulty finding the right words. "There is something in the air. You know radio waves, da?" You nodded. "Kinda like that. Hard to explain
my brain is going fuzzy." He closed his eyes again. He leant back into the leather sofa and clapped his hands twice.Ten seconds later, a young boy with messy, blonde hair ran in and offered Ivan a bottle of Vodka. So, this must be Raivis. He trembled as Ivan stood and loomed over him. Ivan was so tall, he looked like a skyscraper. It was rather intimidating. He grasped the Vodka and gripped the top of Raivis' head with his hand, squeezing it. The young boy began to groan
Hetalia RussiaXReader- To The End pt4It was blowing a gale outside and snow was falling rapidly. It wasn't going to stop anytime soon
You looked into the mirror. You saw your same old face staring back at you. You looked down at your body and adjusted your 'chest'. You had just come to the conclusion that you loved Ivan. It was hard to realise it for some reason, but you had done. You thought about him and if he would fall for someone like you. After all, he had power, money and was absolutely drop dead gorgeous. And what did you have
You sighed and collapsed onto the bed. You stared at the ceiling as tears pricked the edges of your eyes. You tried to hold them back, but the floodgates were threatening to burst. You closed your eyes and the cold, salty drops slowly ran down the side of your face and made little wet patches on the sky blue quilt. Your jaw started to tremble as you just let it come out. Your chest hurt and you felt like you were alone in this world, with nobody to love you...There was a small n
North Italy x Reader - Cute'Hello?' You picked up your phone.'Ciao bella!' Feliciano's cheery voice almost deafened you, 'How are you? I miss you... I haven't seen you in so long! Are you okay? Where are you?''C-calm down...' trying your best to sound composed you hushed the noisy Italian, 'I'm fine, honestly. I only saw you this morning anyway...''Ah ,' You could practically here the cogs working in his mind. 'I remember! Besides bella how about dinner, five o' clock, that little place on the corner; don't be late!''B-but.' Before you could protest the dial tone had already returned. Great. Just great.--The awesome time skip of doom--You uncomfortably shifted in the table pre reserved for the two of you. You had to admit it ... Feli was cute and most certainly enjoyable company but despite how long you'd known each other you still couldn't get rid of the nervous feeling in your stomach.'Bella!' Was that Feli? 'Over here!'Well... you could hear him. But unfortunately you couldn't see him... where was he?

I didn't know what was going on.All of a sudden I was bigger then I was before. The stitching in my arm couldn't take it so it fell off again. What a pity.I just reached for my arm and held on to it-WAIT WHAT!? I-I can move. I noticed the fallen stitching had begun to float and re-attached itself to me as if though my arm had never came off , and almost brand new. My Hair became a little more realistic instead of my normal single peieced fabric of hair that was hot glued on. It looked somewhat real, I reached up and tugged."Ow!" I said.....I can speak HORRAY! i could also move my limbs a little better. I am just so filled with joy at the moment I couldn't believe this was happening!

hummm an alternative to the inMotion. pretty nice looking. But does it charge it like the inMotion does?

Looks intensely nice, larger pics anyone?

If it docks then it must charge and if they are anywhere near as good as the soundsticks they will be amazing.
Posted by Nick Biebuyck on July 13, 2004 at 2:25 PM (CDT)
Sound quality is a must… I love the sound sticks and hope these can compare

Answers to some questions: The On Stage will charge the docking iPod. The picture reproduced in Lloyd's post above is of the On Tour, which is powered from 4 AAA's (either alkaline cells or NiMH rechargeables, but the unit itself does not charge the NiMH batteries), or you can use the supplied universal ac adapter. At moderate listening levels the On Tour runs for many hours. When the batteries begin to get low there is a flashing light to let you know, and eventually the unit will shut off to avoid overdischarge of NiMH cells. There is also a music timeout circuit that reduces the drain if the audio input has been off for a few minutes.
The On Stage is not a battery-operated unit.

can someone post the actual link to the page with the speakers?
it seem that most article on here always link to the homepage of the maker and not the actual product. kina annoying
Posted by tdb on July 13, 2004 at 11:53 PM (CDT)
tdb, true. I was also about suggest linking to the product in question when possible.

I like that On Stage ring—great for your kitchen, office, or other room without a stereo. Charges the iPod too. I hope it sounds good (for that price!) and comes in a Mini version.
I can't find anything at JBL.com, but here's a pic of On Stage:
Now, that pic shows an ugly audio cable going from the headphone jack to the back of the On Stage ring. I assume that's a mistake—someone saw the line-in port (probably there for the sake of using non-iPod sources) and just hooked it up without thinking. I would HOPE that the On Stage's dock handles the audio without that ugly extra cord. Plus dock audio is line level. Anyone know? Is that top cord pictured actually needless?
And it looks like the On Stage has Creature-style +/- volume touch-dots. So line-level input via the dock connector would make sense. No need to do the volume on the iPod then.

I'm not sure that's a dock. The caption says "holder," and the description says, "The JBL On Tour speaker system works with all digital music players ."
The Harmon has a dock, but it sounds like it will be a great deal more expensive.
Posted by Questioner on July 14, 2004 at 3:52 AM (CDT)
Two different products are mentioned in this article. On Tour (seen above with the article) has no dock. On Stage (the ring) has one.
Posted by Nagromme on July 14, 2004 at 6:26 AM (CDT)
are these better than the Creature II speakers? I was planning to buy them, but should I wait for these 2 to come out fırst? I'm looking for sound quality and power, not portability or charging…
Posted by Asli on July 14, 2004 at 7:25 AM (CDT)
Why buy a $200 desktop speaker just to plug it into a line out? Not sure why it even needs that. The HK one may be a cool step towards a bed-side alarm clock tho. Is there a way to make the ipod display a big clock constantly?
Posted by Xenious on July 14, 2004 at 7:40 AM (CDT)
FYI, according to MacMinute, On Stage (the ring) works with all iPods, old, new and Mini.
It also lets you synch—a total dock replacement. You plug the iPod's FW cable into the back. (So… does the FW cable also run the speakers? I'm guessing not—must need an AC adapter to run the speakers, AND the FW charger to charge the iPod. So two outlets needed?)
(Creature speakers have a subwoofer—don't expect these to be as good as that. These are very small and compact.)
(And iPods do have a big clock display so yes, I would think with sleep set to off—can you do that?—you'd have a full-time clock.)
Posted by Nagromme on July 14, 2004 at 7:45 AM (CDT)
If you're looking for the links,
here's the one for the JBL OnStage:
and here's the one for the OnTour:
Actually, I don't see the point of paying nearly $200 for a pair of iPod speakers if it is not battery operated. I could easily attach it using the iPod's dock to any good set of speakers.
Posted by Tech-WhizZ on July 14, 2004 at 8:55 AM (CDT)
These look like worthy competition for the inMotions, but I don't think either would really suit my needs.

Ben Affleck to live on tiny budget
Ben Affleck is planning to live on a tiny budget of just $1.50 a day for five days in support of the charity campaign Live Below The Line
Ben Affleck is planning to live on $1.50 a day.
The 'Argo' director and star has encouraged his fans to show their support for 1.4 billion people living in extreme poverty worldwide, and the Live Below The Line campaign, by joining him and consuming just $1.50 worth of food every day for five days in a row.
The 40-year-old Oscar-winner shared his plans on Twitter on Monday (22.04.13), writing: ''1.4 billion people live on less the $1.50/day. I'm joining Live #BelowTheLine on behalf of @easterncongo. Will you?''
The father-of-three, who is married to actress Jennifer Garner, has been advised to spend his entire budget of $7.50 at the beginning of the week on high calorie, affordable food like pasta and rice.
His participation in the campaign will see him join other celebrities, including Jonah Hill, Josh Groban, Sophia Bush and 'The Avengers' actor Tom Hiddleston, who are also supporting the cause to raise awareness of issues of inequality and poverty around the world.
Ben, who has visited the Congo eight times in recent years, is a huge supporter of the fight against poverty.
He previously revealed he started his own charity called the Eastern Congo Initiative as an example to his children Violet, seven, and Seraphina, four, and son Samuel, 14-months.
He said: ''I got to a point in my life where I felt like I had been very fortunate.
''And I wanted to do something more with my life than just make movies and try to make money.
''I wanted to do something that was important to me in other ways and would serve as an example to my kids.''

Bike theft is an all-too-common occurrence. If your bike is stolen, you're covered for its replacement, or for the cost of replacing it.
Don't worry – if you crash, you're covered. And if your parts are damaged along with the frame, they can be repaired or replaced, too.
Upgrade! Your stolen bike can be replaced with a new model if it's 3 years old or newer.
Was your bike made just for you? No problem. Just factor in custom parts when entering your bike's value and hold on to your receipts.
Have different cycles for different uses? Save 10% off your total price when you insure two bikes, and 15% when you insure three or more.
For an additional premium, cover is available for up to 90 days per year (30 days for any one trip) anywhere in the European Union.
It makes sense to protect your health with a helmet when cycling, but it also makes sense to protect your pockets, too – because a stolen or damaged bike can be expensive to replace.
More than 500,000 bike thefts have been reported to police forces in the UK since 2007, and the number is rising every year. It's enough to put anyone off cycling – but funnily enough, it isn't. In fact, more and more people are taking up cycling to better their commutes, get in shape and just have fun.
Some are cycling because it's a faster, cheaper and easier way to get to work. Others want a fun way to burn calories and stay active. Others just like to get out in the country and off the beaten track on their mountain bikes.
Whichever form of cycling – or bike – you like best, Bike Insurance can make a big difference if your bike gets stolen or damaged. And the more bikes you insure, the more you save. You'll get 10% off when you insure two bikes, and 15% off if you insure three or more.

Washington • Mitt Romney isn't including tea party favorite Ted Cruz among the Republicans' most electable potential presidential candidates in 2016.
Who does the 2012 GOP nominee put on his list of "very capable people?"
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
His ex-running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
But Romney says New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie "stands out as one of the very strongest lights."
Romney was asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" whether Texas Sen. Cruz is a "potential light."
Romney said he's not going to disqualify anybody. But he made clear that he had given the names of those he thought were "the most effective in becoming elected."
Cruz led the GOP effort to shut down the government in an effort to dismantle Obama's health care law.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I'm now a full month into a self-imposed suspension from the game, and it's been interesting to reflect from the sidelines as WoW steps ever closer to Cataclysm. One of the things that I realize now has been frustrating and/or maddening is that I've never actually felt like I've had a main character. What's my main? What do I want to raid with? Which toon will be the first to 85 once the expansion hits? I remain rudderless and completely infuriating to both myself and my ever-patient guildmates. I'm honestly hoping for some breakthrough when I come back. I'm hoping that my raging alt-iholism will somehow ebb, and I'll find myself backing one sure horse (or bear/cat/tree, or undead thing, or what-have-you.) But, it may very well get worse. I may find the allure of all those newly designed old lands and new starting zones too enticing to want to get into an instance right away. I'll be, once again, the last to the raiding party, the last to learn the fights. Hopefully, the new guild system will allow these eccentricities to be a boon for those I've played with, rather than a bust. I don't like that I tend to treat WoW as a single-player game, but that seems to be what I'm most drawn towards -- me against the world (of Warcraft.)
lol, you sound like me. I have all these 80s sitting around waiting to become flavour of the month again.. I couldnt just be happy with 1 or 2. I had to try them all. I think I am the complete opposite of Rossi who has an insatiable appetite for the warrior class.
I will devote all my time to one class for weeks at a time, then move to the next.
Glad its only 5 levels to cap in Cataclysm.

Blake Ayles catches a 4-yard pass from Matt Barkley as the rout continues. Jordan Congdon makes the extra point this time.
Monthly Archives: August 2009
Ayles Back
Matt Barkley's first possession ends in a punt and then Garrett Green throws an interception to Kevin Thomas, who is between two USC receivers. Blake Ayles, back from his heart procedure, catches a 16-yard pass from Barkley.
Halftime Stats
Matt Barkley is unofficially 6-11 for 122 yards with one interception and no TDs.
USC 22, Scout Team 0
Stafon Johnson scores on a 3-yard. No real key play as the drive was nice and short because the scout team punted from deep in it's territory.
Jordan Congdon missed the extra point. And it's halftime! If this first team v. scout team matchup continues, this will be a feel-good day.
USC 16, Scout Team 0
Matt Barkley scores on a 1-yard run. Key play was a 23-yard completion to Damian Williams.
USC 9, Scout Team 0
Curtis McNeal tackled in end zone. Byron Moore was credited with the interception.
USC 7, Scout Team 0
Stafon Johnson scores on a 2-yard run. The key play was a 34-yard pass from Matt Barkley to Ronald Johnson.
Scrimmage Time
Garrett Green leads the scout team and they punt. Matt Barkley and the first team come on and his third pass is intercepted. We'll find out the ID later.
No Mustain
Mitch Mustain is still sick and will not play in today's scrimmage.
Morning Buzz
Joe McKnight's quietly positioned himself to be the starting tailback.

Join 500,000+ Artists
Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
Hi everyone! We were discussing reviving the 100 gestures weekly TD, but decided it may be more useful to have a less competitive study group (Thanks john_o), where people can help each other with a weekly goal.
This week, our aim is to produce 50 human gestures. The gestures must be full body poses. Medium and poses are up to you, feel free to use reference material if you want.
Cut off date for this is Saturday the 30th of June 2007, whatever your local time zone may be. (since this isn't a td, it's not gonna be super strict, but remember we'll probably have moved onto the next topic after a while so don't be too late or no one will be checking the thread to help you.)
Please refrain from piecemeal posting. Post your 50 pics all at once for the viewing convenience of others. Er just to clarify that, you can post pics as you complete them in the one post, just don't go making a *new* post for every page of gestures you do.
Please register you interest below!

Clocks - cool, good to see getting them done. Maybe a use a softer pencil or fiddle the contrast in PS? Hard to see.
Duq - good job
Buckweisel - good to see you getting them done.
Hopefully this week's exercises made your muscles a wee bit stronger?
If it didn't, you'd keep up the weight training, cos round 2 will be up very soon!!

Eight goals by the Blue Knights were not enough to stop Norwell on Saturday as the Clippers topped Sandwich (2-2) in boys' lacrosse 13-8.
The Knights played a solid game up front, led by Nick Gorrasi who finished with four goals and an assist. Nick Buttafuoco had two goals and an assist and Jameson Buttafuoco contributed a goal and an assist. Chris Rezendes rounded out the scoring with his first varsity goal. In four games this season the SHS attack of Nick and Jameson Buttafuoco and Gorrasi have compiled a total of 47 points.
Norwell took a 3-1 lead by the end of the first quarter and then outplayed the Knights in the second quarter for a 6-2 advantage by the half. The Clippers upped their lead to 10-5 by the end of the third.
"It was a clean game with not a lot of penalties," coach Mike McNeill said. "Not scoring more in the second quarter hurt us."
Tucker Hernon was dominant on ground balls for the Knights with seven. Nick Buttafuoco had six ground balls and Gorrasi picked up four.
"We saw some good things from Brian Wahle and Ben Maciel looked good on defense," the coach added. "Max Wojnar also played well defensively, as did Joe Boudrow and Marc Petersen. Pete Davis and Sam Carl both did a nice job in the midfield."

Eric Steele was in goal for the Knights, making 14 saves.
The Knights are scheduled to return to action Tuesday at Dennis-Yarmouth at 4 PM.

sleeping bag works well
February 09, 2012
I sleep in my car because college housing is too expensive on campus, but it started getting too cold this winter. I bought this and have been comfortable. The weather outside is hitting about under 30 to 20 degrees while this bag is rated at 30 degrees and keeps me very warm. The color scheme is nice. I do find the the right hand coordination odd. If my bag is right handed, then shouldn't the zipper be on the left side, that way you use your right hand to reach over to the left to unzip? Instead, I have to maneuver my right hand into a bit of a cramp in order to zip and unzip (or just use my left hand). nonetheless, it is a good purchase. ill update this review when I send it through the washing machine.Pros: Performance
July 14, 2011
Only one use so far, but a successful one. Soooo light and compact in the pack - big improvement over my old synthetic. The extra padding not noticed on the first night of a three day trek, but the support found its spot(s) over the next two nights. Nice fit all-around - solid, tight assembly. Was most concerned about the warmth level (I run very hot), but had nothing to worry about. It worked better than expected at the low forties we encountered near Maroon Belles. Only complaint was being a little startled in the middle of the night when I turned on the head lamp - the yellow is a touch bright.Pros: Build quality, Great value

STURGIS (WTVB) - He tried to out run Sturgis police on a bicycle, but even a blood system full of meth couldn't make him that fast. Late Sunday night a Sturgis officer spotted a familiar suspect he knew was wanted on warrants pedaling through town. The 47-year-old suspect was able to initially elude them, but they kept looking and he resurfaced and this time they were able to chase him down and make the arrest. They found marijuana and Meth packaged for sale on his person. On top of the two outstanding warrants, they intend to pile on drug counts, distribution charges, three counts of resisting officers and possession of drug paraphernalia.

While Jamie Foxx's interest in a role for this sequel has been confirmed, the villain has not. Many believe that Electro was the mysterious figure featured in The Amazing Spider-Man's end credits. And Foxx himself teased the character with a Halloween Tweet just moments ago.
Dressed up as Electro for Halloween last night. Costume fits well.— Jamie Foxx (@iamjamiefoxx) November 1, 2012
This would be the first time that Electro has ever appeared on screen. The character first appeared in 1964's The Amazing Spider-Man #9. Here is Marvel's official description of the character.
The Amazing Spider-Man trilogy is moving towards the death of Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone). Electro does not play a role in her death in the comic books. It is unlikely, however, that if Jamie Foxx is not playing Electro, he would be playing the Green Goblin.
Do you like Jamie Foxx as Electro? Who else might he be playing? Are there a lot of black Spider-Man villains? Should Electro be black? It worked for Nick Fury. Let us know what you think...
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was released May 2nd, 2014 and stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, Colm Feore, Felicity Jones, Paul Giamatti, Sally Field. The film is directed by Marc Webb.

Poet and author John Medeiros co-curates a quarterly reading series at Intermedia Arts in Minneapolis called Queer Voices. The next reading is tomorrow night at 7pm.
As part of Tuesday's event, Medeiros will read from his first collection of poetry, titled couplets for a shrinking world.
Here's a sampling:
Facing North
I feel God only
as the stones feel the hard crush.
– Cain, Ed Ingebretsen
I have looked for heroes in the seaweed.
Searched for tongues in the ocean's waves –
blue & green & wet with nature's fury.
All to find him.
I swear he was there once, lobster-trapped
along the shores of Narragansett Bay,
where I ran for three miles at 5 AM. The weight
of the wind heart-heavy against my chest:
Tired victims seek refuge
by facing north.
& I took him in like a secret breath –
& surrounded myself with holy water.
Faced the monastery to the north
(as if the north would protect me from myself).
Then, like parted waters, my body split in two –
One half crushed by his weight,
the other, long detached like an unknown twin
before dawn has planned her dirty day.
- Facing North, by John Medeiros, from his collection couplets for a shrinking world, published by North Star Press. Reprinted here with permission from the author.

I'm a hugger. I love hugs. They are one of my favorite things in the world. Personally, I think a good hug is something of great value, especially in abundance.
But I was not always like this. I remember back in my early high school years, I wasn't very physically affectionate at all. I wasn't affectionate with women or girls due to being afraid of "coming across wrong" and making them uncomfortable or creeping them out, and I wasn't affectionate with men or boys because… well, it made me uncomfortable.
But then I got a girlfriend. And then she broke up with me. And suddenly I felt a huge gaping hole in my life. A physical-affection shaped hole that I never realized I had before. So I started hugging my friends as a greeting. And slowly it caught on, and together we became a physically affectionate bunch. And the rest is history, as they say.[1] My life is now filled with hugs and affection.
When I was a kid, I also remember watching Home Improvement with my family. One episode I remember in particular involved Tim trying to prove that he was "man enough" to hug another man, and doing so extremely awkwardly and uncomfortably. The clear message: men are uncomfortable hugging each other, or, really, being physically affectionate with each other in any way other than back-patting and shoulder-punching.
This, of course, is a common meme in our culture.[2] And it is one with some real truth to it, I think. Though it is certainly not universal.[3]
What is bothersome, however, is how frequently this is framed as "stupid men, being afraid to touch each other" or similar. And even in the gendersphere, you generally see it framed as a matter of homophobia. Basically, it is always framed as something that is purely driven either by male stupidity or by prejudice or by some combination thereof. And while I think there certainly can be very real homophobic components to it in some cases, I wonder about other possible factors. Factors that are perhaps more influential.
One such potential factor that occurs to me is our culture's overblown fear of male pedophilia. If men in our culture live in fear of being viewed as pedophiles, then they're rarely going to be physically affectionate with children. Those children might then in turn grow up feeling that physical affection from men is not normal. They may not be able to explain it, they might just feel an internalized discomfort with male affection. But it might be there nevertheless.
And our minds have a strange way of trying to figure out why we feel the way we feel, so in a culture of homophobia I can certainly understand if a lot of boys and men start explaining their discomfort in terms of "Blech! Gay!" Even when that is, perhaps, not really what's going on.
Anyway, I would be interested in hearing other people's thoughts on this. At the moment this is mostly just pondering on my part. I would be particularly interested if anyone could point to relevant studies, though certainly any discussion is welcome, citations or no.
[1] It actually took me a lot longer to get over my fear of making women uncomfortable with my hugs. Even several years down the line, I still tended to avoid hugging women. One incident I remember in particular: I was working on a team made up of mostly men and only one woman. Several months into working with this team, this woman expressed dismay and genuine hurt that I never initiated hugs with her despite often doing so with the male team members. I never intended to exclude here, but rather I was trying to keep the environment safe and comfortable for her. Looking back on that, the irony is palpable.
[2] By "our culture" I'm referring to culture in the USA in particular, since that's where I'm from. Though of course the USA itself is hardly a cultural monolith.
[3] Moreover, I think there are plenty of examples of women being loath to be genuinely physically affectionate with each other as well, which would also be interesting to discuss.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We ordered this invitation and RSVP card in Almond with a solid almond back on the matte white stock, and could not be more pleased with the decision! The design is so lovely, just perfect for my daughter's outdoor garden-style wedding. It has just the right soft, vintage feel we were looking for. The paper quality is excellent, they look and feel great. The design review process is extremely helpful - our reviewer made a couple of changes that improved what we had submitted - and the turnaround was incredibly fast. The final product was exactly what we expected and were hoping for ... no complaints or disappointment whatsoever. We highly recommend this product!"
"I was torn trying to decide between all the different designs. I finally settled on this one in the darker tones for a fall wedding. They are absolutely stunning and I would highly recommend getting the pearlized feature. It gives it that extra bit of "fancy" for being a more informal invitation. The designer even helped me add my parent's names to this invitation when I thought there wouldn't be any room."
"I changed the layout and wording of the invite and the changes were made without any issues. I was provided with a proof once the changes were made to ensure I was happy before the invites were printed. I cannot be happier with the end result! Thanks so much wedding paper divas!!!!"
"I am absolutley in love with these. They came out beautifully. My wedding is in the fall and these matched my theme so well. At the time I placed my order there was a mix up as to how the finish was to be on my order. Instead of arguing with me, WPD made the corrections and shipped it FEDEX to me straight away. The customer service, the desgins, the quality of products are all what make Wedding Paper Divas the perfect place to order from for the budget bride."
"I love that you can customize the back of this invite. It was very helpful so that I could put a lot of information about the flow of the day and where my guests could go for more information. The address that I had printed on the back of the external envelope was a bit crooked, but if I had more time, I would have sent them back. Other than that, I am very happy. This invite has a vintage and modern garden-y feel at the same time."

It was Pioli who accused the Lions of tampering before the 2010 season. As the two general managers approached the same elevator at the end of the game Sunday, Pioli called out to Mayhew and extended his right hand.
Mayhew shook his head and turned his back on Pioli.
Bygones are certainly not bygones.
These are the traits we've come to expect from Pioli and his assembled assistants, and aside from the signing of Breaston — who is open about his admiration of Haley — the Chiefs did precious little to improve.
First-round pick Jonathan Baldwin still hasn't played after an injury in a locker-room fight. Gregg filled a need, but he is on the wrong side of the career arc and unable to make up for the loss of tackles Shaun Smith and Ron Edwards.
"(Losing Charles) was definitely tough. He is a great player, a great runner. He was one of the keys to our offense. … We just have to find a way to pull together, pick up the slack and get this thing moving pretty quick."
Cunningham was the Chiefs' defensive coordinator for nine seasons and head coach for two. He left Kansas City after the 2008 season to join the Lions' staff.
"Definitely a big game for him," Detroit defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh said.
They had 22-year-old Eric Berry, who lived up to expectations as a No. 5 overall pick with a Pro Bowl rookie campaign and was supposed to move into the "elite safety" player category in 2011. He's a unique talent, and is irreplaceable in KC.
And they had 23-year-old Jamaal Charles, who averaged a ridiculous 6.4 yards per rush in a monster 2010 season and was supposed to compete for a rushing title in 2011. He's a unique talent, and is irreplaceable in KC.

Cordele - A South Georgia parolee is back in jail charged with murdering an innocent man he didn't even know just hours after he got out of prison. Eddie C. Boyd was released from prison around lunchtime Tuesday after serving a nine year stint for possession of cocaine. He was supposed to report to his parole officer, but he never made it. Police say he immediately began violently breaking the law.
Eddie Boyd is what law enforcers refer to as a recidivist, a repeat offender. He has a long wrap, and has served several stints in prison since 1975, convicted of forgery, burglary, armed robbery and cocaine possession. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison, but was paroled yesterday after undergoing an in-prison treatment program.
Business is back at Cordele Sash and Door, but certainly not back to normal. 53-year old Mike Morgan, a 22 year veteran of the company was stabbed. His attacker left him there bleeding to death.
Carrie Lull with Cordele Police says, "We were able to get some information at the scene, that we were able to back track his movements which led us to the Greyhound bus station and with their help we were able to identify who he was, who we were looking for."
They say 48-year old Eddie C. Boyd of Americus is responsible for the crime. On Tuesday, Boyd was released from prison, and was bused to this Greyhound station in Cordele where he was supposed to meet up with family members who would take him to the parole office in Americus. Officers say that never happened. Instead, investigators say just as soon as Boyd walked off the bus from prison he would begin breaking the law again coming here to this store where he would attempt robbery, then stab Mike Morgan. By the time help arrived from the Police Department located just across the street, it would be too late.
Scheree Lipscomb, Public Affairs Director for the Board of Pardons and Paroles, says the stabbing is not a result of the Board's actions, but of Boyd's. She says, "We never want to release someone with the thought that they could go out and commit any type of crime, least this type of crime. You do have people that come out and they change their lives and that's what we're hoping to do."
But instead, a life was ended, and Boyd, is yet again, back behind bars. He was caught just two blocks away from the scene of the crime and has been charged with the murder of Mike Morgan.
Boyd did have some disciplinary reports while he was in prison for insubordination, unauthorized presence, and failure to follow instructions but none for violent behavior.
A fund has been set up at PlantersFirst bank in memory of Mike Morgan.

What began as an argument among a group of men ended with one of those men being fatally shot. According to reports, the deadly shooting took place in Fifth Ward late Sunday night near the victim's home on Lee. Authorities say that the victim was arguing with a group of men from another part of the neighborhood earlier Sunday.
Additional reports reveal that a verbal argument took place earlier between the victim and the other men but later the men and the victim became embroiled in yet another argument later Sunday evening outside the victim's house. That later fight was broken up but according to police a group of suspects returned to confront the victim late Sunday evening. According to the Houston Police Department the victim was then shot and killed. As police still search for the suspects authorities have not released the victim's name.

There is old school, and then there is new school.
And then there are old schoolers trying to join the new school, and vice versa.
That's when music gets exciting.
Utahns will get the opportunity to hear both types when hard-rock supergroup Kill Devil Hill headlines Saturday at Bar Deluxe, and then Asking Alexandria headlines Monday at In the Venue.
Were you looking for holiday music from these guys? Look elsewhere.
Kill Devil Hill's foundation is the rhythmic tandem of Rex Brown (of Pantera and Down fame) on bass and Vinny Appice (of Black Sabbath and Dio) on drums, with Mark Zavon on guitar and relative newcomer Dewey Bragg on vocals.
In phone interviews, Brown and Appice said they have known each other since the metal festivals of the early 1990s, and had always wanted to play together at some point.
That point came in 2009, when Appice formed a partnership with Zavon. Appice heard countless demos of singers auditioning for the chance to be in Appice's band. "There were a lot of 80s-kind of vocals," Appice said of the disappointing demos. "It was a lot of vibrato, and high notes. I was looking for someone who can do interesting harmonies, kind of like [the late Layne Staley of Alice in Chains]."
The 80s were over, Appice said. It was time to evolve and find a modern sound, with a modern singer.
Zavon recommended a younger singer named Dewey Bragg that he had worked with before, and Bragg's deeper voice convinced Appice that he was the right one.
The only thing left was a bass player. Appice heard through the grapevine that Brown was available, and even though they had a long relationship, there was another reason Brown got excited. It was Bragg.
"Dewey was one of the focal points of why I joined," Brown said. "It sounds as clichéd as f____, but everything clicked."
The quartet released its self-titled debut in May, and Brown is excited about the future of this new band. "Everything's DIY, BYOB," he said. "It's made me hungry. We're ferocious. We're firing on all cylinders."
This "new" band is competing in the same hard-rock marketplace as Asking Alexandria, a British metal band that has only been in existence since 2008 but has leapfrogged over bands to headline tours. Its second album, "Reckless and Relentless," was released in 2011 and jumped all the way to No. 9 on the Billboard album chart. (Trivia: Utah adult entertainer Belladonna appeared on the album cover.)
However, the band's success has emboldened Asking Alexandria to pursue a different direction on its as-yet untitled third album, due out in 2013. In some sense, you could say that the band is returning to its 80s' influences on the new record.
Singer Danny Worsnop said one of his chief singing idols is Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, and that on the new record he is departing from the vocal style he exhibited on the first two albums. "I think I pigeonholed myself on the last two albums as a screamer," Worsnop said in a phone interview. "[But] I'm a rock 'n' roll singer. I don't consider myself a metal singer. I want to sing like me."
The trend in metal is to occasionally include what are called "clean" vocals, but primarily the focus is on death-growl, guttural vocals. Worsnop wants to show off his cleaner side. "I haven't gotten the chance to show who I am vocally," he said. "My voice has come a long way. I've found my voice. I just want to be a rock singer."
Does Worsnop worry about fans who have come to expect a particular type of vocals from Asking Alexandria?
"Those people can f___ themselves," Worsnop said of critics of his new style. "I love pissing people off."
Opening for Asking Alexandria is As I Lay Dying, a San Diego-based metal band whose last three albums — 2007's "An Ocean Between Us." 2010's "The Powerless Rise," and 2012's "Awakened" — have all debuted in the top-11 on the Billboard album charts.
Drummer Jordan Mancino said in a phone interview said that in the first three years of the band, there were 15 different members coming and going. "There was a questionable period where we didn't know if we could go on," he said.
But times have changed. "It's great to have five people be committed."
The goal of the band is simple, Mancino said. "We are going to make music that is genuine to us," he said. "The bottom line is that we want to record genuine music and perform genuine music. We will evolve, but it's hard to say how we'll evolve."
Mancino had no problem coming up with his musical inspirations.

The West Liberty baseball team swept a four-game weekend series from the University of Virginia at Wise, by winning both games of a double-header on Sunday at Kovalick Field.
Jon-Michael Brunner provided the only run in Game one, sending a one-out single through the right side of a drawn-in infield in a 1-0 victory in eight innings. It was the third consecutive win in the final at-bat.
The Hilltoppers didn't need any heroics in Game two, coming away with a 15-5 victory for the 20th win of the season.
Ohio Valley products D.J. Busby and Tim Mirandy did most of the damage for the Hilltoppers. Busby, the former St.Clairsville Red Devil, banged out four hits in five at-bats, driving in two runs. Mirandy, the former Wheeling Central Maroon Knight went 3-for-4 with four RBI.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. — Las Cruces City Council met in an emergency meeting Wednesday morning to address the gross receipts tax increase that was not approved by the state on what appears to be a technicality.
Last Friday the city received a letter from the taxation and revenue department that said the ordinance to raise taxes by 3/8 of a percent does not conform with the law.
"Today's ordinance doesn't repeal the first one but this one here is correcting what they feel should have been corrected in the first time," said Mayor Ken Miyagishima.
In the letter, the issue is with four words on the ordinance that emphasize "food and medicine exemption" which are already non-taxable items.
Miyagishima is asking the state office to show documentation on where they contacted the city to make corrections to the ordinance.
Wednesday morning council voted 5 to 1 with Councilor Miguel Silva voting no on a new ordinance that removes the wording in question.
Due to ordinance deadlines if the first ordinance is not approved, the city could lose more than $4.4 million with the potential for more over a 20-year period.
City leaders will meet in closed session to discuss other options to have the first ordinance approved.

Ryan Reynolds gets ready for his close up on the set of R.I.P.D. on Monday (September 12) in Boston, Mass.
The 34-year-old actor was joined on set by his co-star Kevin Bacon.
R.I.P.D. is about a recently slain cop (Reynolds) who joins a team of undead police officers working for the Rest in Peace Department, and tries to find the man who murdered him.
The film is set for a June, 2013 release date!
There's a movie like this in the works? I'm weirdly excited and yet weirdly in shock that such a movie with such a plot exists in the making. I'm totally gonna be watching this for sure, is all I can promise you.
