With a fortune approaching $24 billion, Donetsk industrial titan Rinat Akhmetov has pulled away from the pack in Dragon Capital investment bank's latest rankings of the nation's 50 richest Ukrainians. The elite list, meanwhile, keeps pulling away from the rest of Ukraine's 46 million citizens, about one-third of whom are economically destitute and desperate. Many see the wealth disparities as unhealthy for the nation's future, especially since many of these fortunes came from acquiring Soviet assets rather than creating new wealth.
In Ukraine, the capitalist entrepreneurs win out, so you have disparities in income distribution, plus trade and labor unions play no role."Akhmetov's net worth was estimated at $23.6 billion, far ahead of the trailing pack.
-Vasily Astrov, an analyst for the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies.
FDI is the way to go to bring in innovation and for the government to harness the Ukrainian business groups who are interested in export markets like in agriculture, which has huge potential for the country."According to the State Statistics Committee, 12 million out of a population of 46 million have an average income below the minimum subsistence level of just over $100 per month.
-Vasily Astrov, an analyst for the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies.
Not everyone is in the same basket, but there are many oligarchs who want to keep out competition."
-Vasily Astrov, an analyst for the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies.
Ukraine is a closed insider economy run by an elite network that limits foreign entry, including Russian business interests in many sectors of the economy."The 22nd richest, Valeriy Khoroshkovsky, worth $568 million, for example, has been a member of parliament, has served a number of advisory roles in government, was first deputy head of the presidential administration, the economy minister, head of customs and today, leads Ukraine's state security service. Until recently he sat on the High Council of Judges that appoints and fires the nation's judges.

Facts and figures, bkrevel. Facts and figures.
What KP has done is no different than what Forbes Magazine has done for years, listing the wealthiest people from all over the world.
It's not boasting by KP at all - it's factual reporting.
You can then decide for yourself whether it's disgusting or not.
Akhmetov, Pinchuk, Yanukonvikt, Firtash, Khoroshkovsky, Kolomoisky, Friedman, Buryak, and the rest obviously have a different view.
The jerks in silly Donbass and elsewhere who kept voting the mafiosos into office, dating back before Kuchma, can also decide if they like what they see.
Ukrainians deserve to know the facts, instead of just guessing at them.
You have no right to be angry at KP - it's misdirected anger.
Now - what will Ukrainians do with this information?
Build a just country?
Form the best system of government in the world, which was Tymoshenko's challenge?
Leave the country?
Until and unless the Post reports on the massive ill-gotten gains of types such as Chumachenko (the so-called children's hospital), Yushchenko (shall we mention RUE, again?) and all the Orange criminals, this publication is nothing but a front for Tymoshenko and her clan and allies, past and present.
Nothing has been said about Yulia's past with her convicted criminal partner Lazarenko. She learned everything she knew from him and seemingly put it into very effective practice as PM.
When will the Post be even-handed and report with honesty and integrity, criticizing without fear nor favor on all fronts? I know, that may be an impossible task but one worth mentioning openly.
Until then, the Post can only be viewed as a highly partisan and extremely prejudiced publication.
You seem to indicate that you know much about yulia's dealings.
If so....state your source.
Hearsay is worthless!
This article is about the 50 wealthiest.
Apparently Tymoshenko did not make it.
Firtash, of RUE fame, did make it - at #10.
As far as the hospital is concerned, Yushchenko was on the "Big Politics" show just recently, and was questioned about it - and fund-raising for the hospital - very sharply by the panel of reporters. He answered their questions.
Lazarenko was convicted of violating US law - not Ukrainian "law." He was not ever charged in Ukraine with any criminal conduct.
Lazarenko's criminal activity in the US had nothing to do with Tymoshenko.
So where is Tymoshenko in this list?
I guess it means this list is for those who may have more or less "legally" or heaven forbid in Ukraine, "honestly" earned their money.
In her case, given the latest Wikileaks, all she did was steal much much more than most of the members of this list of infamy.
Hey, Post writers and editors, investigate the richest woman in Ukraine who cannot and will not publicly acknowledge that she is one of the very richest and most corrupt women in Ukraine. The more so now that it has come out that she has engaged in widespread graft while she was prime minister.
Of course, honest investigation may be impossible for you since there seem to very close ties between Tymoshenko and your publication.
Since yulia is not on this list....then you must be fabricating your accusations.
If you have proof....state your source.
If not....shut up with the slander.
How many Jews are on that list?
most of them. hardly any ukrainians on that list. it's pretty much a jewish-tatar-russian-polack occupationist lobby
Well, here is the situation in Ukraine. It has one of the poorest populations in Europe. The Government doesn't do anything to develop decent jobs or a decent economy for average workers, so many people immigrate. So in a sense Ukraine is outsourcing it's duty and responsibilities to other countries, which is another way of saying that Ukraine is a parasite. Next, the whole social and public infrastructure in Ukraine is decrepit and badly in need of investment. But the money for this has been captured by the richest in Ukraine. How is it that Ukraine has some of the most outdated industrial facilities in the world and yet their owners are the most profitable? The short answer is government subsidies - this is where most of Ukraine's ruling elite make a killing. So no health care, no pensions, no schools, no parks, and so on for the people because all the money for those things paid for subsidies for the rich. By the way the same thing is happening in the US and the average American is just as much a worm as the average Ukrainian. And finally I want to say that although I oppose the World Bank and the IMF I am really glad that the Ukrainian government took IMF loans. There is no doubt in my mind that the Ukrainian government will not be able to pay these loans back. That is when the IMF will swoop in an force Ukraine to open its market and industries to competition. That is when the ruling elite's strangle hold on the Ukrainian worker and economy will come to an end. Unfortunately, this will probably mean austerity measures for workers as well. But like the average American worker, the Ukrainian chump is used to taking it up the @#$! If they had any dignity, they would at least fight for their children.
Ukraine gov't should protect the cartels with understanding they provide jobs.
How could Dragon Capital be so wrong?
The Vienna Economics Institute has a very weird and not credible statistical methodology. It says that the Czech Republic in 2030 will only be 90% of EU average. Which is rubbish cause the Czech Republic has already caught up to the EU Average.
VEI is useless and I don't and a lot of economists that I know don't trust. Its too biased with "Western Europe". Its not trustworthy.
VEI when it comes to certain parts of economic stats is not credible and cannot be taken into account.
Would be nice if the Kyiv Post also could publish how much tax each of these 50 richest Ukrainians paid for the year 2009 in Ukraine.
Or how much profits their companies made in the year 2009 and how much tax these companies paid in Ukraine for the year 2009.
Kyiv Post, they want to close you down: time for some investigative journalism
The last part of the Story is why many outside of Ukraine do not invest into Ukraine to make it's economy more diverse,fair and spread the wealth.
"Ukraine is a closed insider economy run by an elite network that limits foreign entry, including Russian business interests in many sectors of the economy," said Volodymyr Lanovy, a former economy minister and president of the Center for Market Reforms. "The way it functions is it creates obstacles for real economic growth and integration with the world economy."
The asses in power in Ukraine do not want outside interference in their dirty dealings and want to keep themselves rich while everyone else is poor.They want to make Ukraine courts look so unlawful that anyone investing in Ukraine would fear that they would lose all the money they invest there by corrupt asses (politicians,mafia(top millionaires and billionaires in Ukr),judges,police and anyone else that does not want anyone cutting into their gravy train).
Well Fook all of you corrupt asses. There is going to be Change in Ukraine wether you like it or not. Screw you rich worthless idiots that hoard money and flaunt how stupid you are instead of helping spread the wealth. Keep people poor and sooner rather than later the rich run out of customers to sell junk to.
People should start trading their work for food and other things they want instead of using worthless paper collected by the Oligarches.
Anyone that is a billionaire has failed to reinvest in the people and things around them.Anyone can hoard money ,but making things grow and flourish takes a sound mind,true entrepeneurship and kindness for everyone around them. Greed is ignorance to the highest level.
It makes me sick to keep seeing propaganda that Ukraine is a poor country. That is a lie; as the evil soviets who were in position to grab Ukraine's wealth when the Evil Empire collapsed continue to rob Ukraine's wealth for themselves. Whereas before the collapse their greed was controlled by the foreign occupier, after the collapse their parasitic greed knew no bounds as they grabbed the levers of power and continued to rob and rape the nation without bounds as they continue to destroy the Ukrainian culture and language to boot with Ukrainophobes in vital national ministries. Perhaps Ukraine too needs a Libyan type of solution to its foreign element that should have been repatriated after the collapse of the Evil Empire.
WOW, you took the words right out of my mouth. "

Recipe by GINNYO66
"Easy make-ahead French toast."
Watch video tips and tricks
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
12 slices sandwich bread
6 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 pinch salt
My family loved this and is already begging for a repeat. I spread a very thin layer of cinnamon applesauce between the bread layers and then sprinkled a little extra cinnamon on top. When you serve it, flip it over and you have a nice brown sugar/cinnamon topping! It's EASY and really, really good!
I add thinly sliced apples to the brown sugar butter mix for an extra treat its great!

This was a big disappointment.. I wish I could say something good about it, but I cannot. Also, it doesn't taste like French Toast at all.
Oh, my goodness. This is one of the most delicious baked french toast recipes I've ever had. I first made it for Christmas last year, and used ordinary, cheap sandwich bread with the crusts on and it was OK. But now I buy the good quality farmhouse bread and cut the crusts off. I add more brown sugar to the bottom of the dish, too so when I cut it and flip it over on the plate, it's buttery and sweet. Served with grits and breakfast meat this is one of our favorite meals. Oh, and I don't refrigerate over night either and it's still great. I will for this year's Christmas morning meal. Thanks!
Oh my goodness! This is like eating dessert for breakfast! My family LOVED it! Actually, I made it for dinner, with some bacon and scrambled eggs. :) It tasted a lot like eating a cinnamon roll. VERY SWEET and yummy. I used 7 eggs and 2/3 cup of milk (since some others had said it was a little dry) and it was just right. I also added about a teaspoon of vanilla to the milk/egg mixture and sprinkled the top with cinnamon before pouring it over. I refrigerated it for a couple hours before baking and that worked fine! It was really too sweet to add butter and syrup, but I would like to try it with a fruit topping and some whipped cream. Next time I might try spreading the 2nd layer of bread with sweetened cream cheese and blueberry pie filling or chopped apples (between the bread layers) for a 'stuffed' french toast. Yummy!
I like this because it has less fattening ingredients than other recipes I saw, but still tastes wonderful!
My husband and I both enjoyed this. I too sliced an apple and placed it on the bottom of the pan. I had some leftover canned fruit and drained that and placed between the layers of bread. I even replaced 1/2 of the brown sugar with Splenda brown sugar. After baking and cooling it, I cut the pan into 8 servings and individually froze them and we just pull one out of the the freezer at a time and microwave it for breakfast. I look forward to trying it with other fruit.
Made this for the first time for my 30yr old daughters bday! We all loved it. Added the cinnamon applesauce between layers of bread, didn't have to use any butter or syrup, delicious.

Based on Bryan Lee O'Malley's Oni Press comic book of the same name, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World follows the eponymous slacker rocker on his colorful quest to defeat his dream girl's seven evil ex-boyfriends. Twenty-two-year-old Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) may not have a job, but rocking the bass for his band, Sex Bob-omb, is a tough job unto itself. When Scott locks eyes with Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), he knows she's the girl he wants to grow old with. But Ramona has some serious baggage; her supercharged exes rue the thought of her being with another man, and they'll crush any guy who gives her a second glance. Now, in order to win Ramona's heart, Scott will do battle with everyone from vegan-powered rock gods to sinister skateboarders, never losing sight of his gorgeous goal as he pummels his way to victory. Shaun of the Dead's Edgar Wright directs the film from a script he penned with Michael Bacall. Superhero veterans Chris Evans and Brandon Routh co-star in the action comedy as two of the seven ex-boyfriends. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A group of hardened Nazi killers stalk their prey in Nazi-occupied France as a Jewish cinema owner plots to take down top-ranking SS officers during the official premiere of a high-profile German propaganda film. As far as Lt. Aldo Raine (aka Aldo the Apache," Brad Pitt) -- is concerned, the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. Raine's mission is to strike fear into the heart of Adolf Hitler by brutally murdering as many goose-steppers as possible, or die trying. In order to accomplish that goal, Lt. Raine recruits a ruthless team of cold-blooded killers known as "The Basterds" which includes baseball-bat-wielding Bostonian Sgt. Donnie Donowitz (aka "The Bear Jew," Eli Roth) and steely psychopath Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz (Til Schweiger), among others. When the Basterds' secret rendezvous with turncoat German actress Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) goes awry, they learn that the Nazis will be staging the French premiere of "The Nation's Pride," a rousing propaganda film based on the exploits of German hero Fredrick Zoller (Daniel Brühl), at a modest theater owned by Jewish cinephile Shoshanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent), posing as a Gentile after the brutal murder of her family by the ruthless Col. Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). As the Basterds hatch an explosive plan to take out as many Nazis as possible at the premiere, they remain completely oblivious to the fact that Shoshanna, too, longs to bring the Third Reich to its knees, and that she's willing to sacrifice her beloved theater in the process. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In Death Proof -- director Tarantino's take on such peddle-to-the-metal shockers as White Line Fever -- Kurt Russell stars as an engine-revving psychopath who prefers to take out his beautiful victims at 200 mph. Originally released into theaters on a double bill with Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror under the Grindhouse banner, Death Proof finds a group of ladies out on the town pitted against a mysterious figured named Stuntman Mike (Russell), whose vintage automobile has been partially modified to withstand even the most extreme auto collision. Though the maniacal driver himself always comes out relatively unscathed, the same certainly can't be said for the poor young lass in his passenger seat -- or anyone unfortunate enough to be on the road when the urge to kill strikes for that matter. With a list of potential road-kill candidates that includes Rose McGowan, Jordan Ladd, Rosario Dawson, and Vanessa Ferlito, Death Proof takes viewers on an adrenaline-infused drive that's as sexy as it is shocking. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The sophomore outing for Mark Illsley, the writer and director of 1999's Happy Texas, Bookies is a return to the crime comedy genre of the filmmaker's first project. Starring Nick Stahl, Lukas Haas, and Johnny Galecki as college buddies Toby, Casey, and Jude, the film begins with the trio upset over a substantial gambling loss. After paying up, they decide that they are on the wrong side of the transaction and concoct a plan to become bookies themselves. Working in the shadows so as not to let on that they are anything but professionals, the young entrepreneurs devise a system that involves leaving money in unpopular books at the library where Jude works. Before they know it, the guys are rolling in the dough. Casey buys a bunch of computer equipment, Jude gets himself a drug habit, and Toby uses his newfound wealth to impress Hunter, a fellow student played by Rachael Leigh Cook. But just as fast as things started to go well, they take an unexpected turn. The boys are making so much money that they're cutting into the business of the local mafia. As one might expect, the thugs don't take too kindly to competition. Also starring John Diehl and David Proval, Bookies premiered at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

This first feature for filmmaker Jordan Melamed uses the verite style of the
Dogme 95
movement for a hard-hitting drama centering on a group of troubled teens. Taking place entirely in a psychiatric ward, the film opens with Lyle (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), who has chosen to accept calm in the wake of being treated for wounds due to a violent outburst from a fight that left another young man in horrible shape. Learning that he won't be taken home by his mother, he is transferred instead to a juvenile lockdown facility and deemed a menace to society. After being sedated during an episode, he wakes up to a room shared by Kenny (Cody Lightning), a 12-year old child molester. Lyle is put off by his new surroundings and refuses to befriend the other inmates or cooperate with the patient, weary Dr. Monroe (Don Cheadle). But Lyle soon begins to adapt to his new life, meeting Chad (Michael Bacall), a bipolar case with an impending release who lures Lyle into a plan for an escape. Lyle also finds solace in Tracy (Zooey Deschanel), a young girl plagued with nightmares and self-mutilation, who finds herself drawn to him as well. Manic also features Elden Henson, Sara Rivas, and Blayne Weaver in supporting roles. ~ Jason Clark, Rovi

Tall tales turn into chilling reality in this sequel to the 1998 horror hit Urban Legend. Amy Mayfield (Jenny Morrison) is a film student at Alpine University who for her thesis project (which will also be her entry to a prestigious competition for young directors) has decided to make a horror film about urban legends that suddenly and disturbingly come true. However, as Amy and her student cast and crew begin filming staged murders for the project, members of her team begin dying for real, and the survivors have to track down the killer before they become the next victims. And where do Travis (Matthew Davis), Graham (Joey Lawrence), and Toby (Anson Mount), three other students vying for the same prize as Amy, fit into this scenario? Urban Legends: The Final Cut marked the directorial debut for John Ottman, who previously distinguished himself as an editor and composer (he also performed both of those functions for this film). ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Some Assembly Required
After staking a vampire in the Sunnydale cemetery, Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Angel (David Boreanaz) discover that someone has dug up a grave and taken its inhabitant. An icked-out Buffy soon discovers that the corpse was a cheerleader from another school who was killed in a car crash along with two other cheermates. Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) and Xander (Nicholas Brendon) dig up one of the other girls' graves to do a little research, and as they suspect, the body is missing. Angel and Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) then happen upon the dismembered bodies of all three of the missing pom-pom corpses. Apparently, Chris Epps (Angelo Spizzirri) -- the Science Club's default Dr. Frankenstein -- is attempting to fashion a Cheer-stein of sorts for Daryl (Ingo Neuhaus), his football jock brother. Very sweet, except that his brother is also a monster brought back to life! The gruesome twosome just need one freshly hacked off head to complete Daryl's new patchwork girlfriend -- and who better than Cordelia? Xander assists in saving Cordelia, thereby sowing the seeds for a future romantic entanglement, but misses his chance in this episode by ignoring her gratitude. Giles is also caught trying to compose a pick-up line for Jenny (Robia La Morte). Finally, as a continuing complication from Buffy's dance with Xander in the season opener, Angel admits to being jealous. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi

A single mother and her difficult son find family life isn't necessarily all it's cracked up to be in this drama adapted from writer and professor Tobias Wolff's 1989 memoir of the same name. Nomadic, flaky Caroline (Ellen Barkin) just wants to settle down in one place, find a decent guy, and provide a better home for her handful of a son, Toby (Leonardo DiCaprio). When she moves to Seattle and meets the respectful, respectable Dwight Hansen (Robert DeNiro), she thinks she's got it made. Toby, however, feels differently after spending a few months with Dwight and his children and away from Caroline. The boy's stepfather-to-be seems to want to mold Toby into a better person, but to do so he emotionally, verbally, and physically abuses the kid. The marriage proceeds, and soon Caroline, too, recognizes Dwight's need to dominate everyone around him. She sticks with it, though, convinced it's the best thing for her son, and several years of dysfunction ensue. During this time, Tobias befriends another misfit, the possibly homosexual young Jonah (Arthur Gayle), while continuing to chafe under the yoke of his repressive stepfather. This Boy's Life provided the first lead role for future superstar DiCaprio. The film was written by Robert Getchell, who also penned such mother/son fare as Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore and The Client. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

Wings: Happy Holidays
A Merry Christmas in Nantucket? Not likely. Consider the following: Fay (Rebecca Schull) drives Helen (Crystal Bernard) crazy with her nit-picky preparations for a children's charity Christmas party; Brian (Steven Weber) is having trouble working up the nerve to meet Alex's (Farrah Forke) parents; and Antonio (Tony Shalhoub) risks losing his friendship with Lowell (Thomas Haden Church) when he has a "quickie" with Lowell's ex-wife Bunny (Laura Innes). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The touching story of a boy and his killer whale made this family drama a surprise box office hit. Jesse (Jason James Richter) is a kid without parents who has bounced from one foster home to another and is living on the streets. One night, he's caught spraying graffiti with his friend Perry (Michael Bacall) in a theme park. Jesse and Perry are caught red handed by Dwight (Mykel T. Williamson), a policeman who thinks that Jesse needs a more stable and disciplined environment. Dwight arranges for Jesse to stay with a new foster family, Glen and Annie Greenwood (Michael Madsen and Jayne Atkinson), with whom Jesse has an initially stormy relationship. Part of Jesse's punishment involves cleaning up the damage he caused at the park, where the new attraction is Willy, a killer whale who is being trained to do tricks. However, Willy was traumatized when he was stolen from his family by mercenary fisherman and does not respond well to the genuine concern of his trainers, Rae (Lori Petty) and Randolph (August Schellenberg). Jesse and Willy, both stranded without families in a place where they don't fit in, develop a close emotional bond, and with Jesse's help, Willy begins to display aptitude as a performer. Thanks to his friendship with Willy, Jesse develops a new sense of responsibility and a healthier relationship with the Greenwoods. However, Dial (Michael Ironside), the owner of the park, doesn't much care for animals and isn't happy with the slower-than-expected progress of Willy's training; having insured the whale for $1 million dollars, he figures that Willy is worth more dead than alive, and Jesse, Rae, and Randolph have to rescue their aquatic friend and return him to the ocean when Dial seems ready to live up to his threats. Free Willy, which featured a star performance by a killer whale named Keiko (who is doubled in some scenes by animatronic models) included the theme song "Will You Be There," a top-ten hit for Michael Jackson, and spawned two sequels. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

John Travolta stars as a hip music teacher in this old-fashioned pseudo-musical set in 1955, the dawn of the rock n' roll era. Travolta is Jack Cabe, a musician on the run in Texas for murdering a man during a recording session. Attempting to elude the law, Jack takes refuge at the Benedict School for Boys, where he is hired as a music instructor by school director Eugene Benedict (Richard Jordan). At the school, he sets teen rebel Jesse Tucker (James Walters) straight by introducing him to the new music called rock n' roll. But Jack doesn't just stop there, and soon all the youngsters are snapping their fingers to the devil's music instead of keeping time to John Philip Sousa. This steers Jack on a collision course with Eugene, who doesn't appreciate the rhythm and the blues of rock n' roll. As if that weren't enough, Jesse has taken it into his head to seduce Sara (Heather Graham), Eugene's beautiful daughter. Meanwhile, Jack has problems of his own. With the law closing in on him, he is ready to take it on the lam to another state. But the big school concert is coming up and he doesn't want to let his students down. Should he stay to play the gig and risk arrest, or elude the law and take off down the road to freedom? ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

I have this ring and the black painted surface scratched the same day I got it, and I see new scratches almost on a daily bases. I don't do anything out of the ordinary to cause it. It's a stainless steel ring with black paint... a good combination for scratches and I should have know this before buying it. Even though it's very inexpensive, I wouldn't have bought it if I would have known how it scratches so easily.
I bought this ring of rmy boyfriend. The size of the ring was difficult to narrow down. He generally wears a size 8.5 but needed a size 9. Some of the rings state to buy a half size up but not all of them come in half sizes. But returning and repurchasing another ring was very simple and quick. Would recommed this ring although he does say it is a bit heavy. But also comfortable.
This is not the first time I order from Overstock. I love all my rings except this one. I was shock when I opened the box. The ring was scratchy, not shiny and bad looking ring. I suggest Overstock should not carry this kind of poorly made product.
Wonderful quality, no wearing on it, great for men who have hard rough jobs that could create problems with other rings, It is tough and holds its beautiful color. It is like tungsten, cant wear it out!
The ring has gotten dinged up faster than I would have hoped, but my boyfriend works in an industrial environment so it could just be coming in contact with much harder metals that it would not under normal use. Other than that the ring is great, looks really good and is quite comfortable. I would definitely buy again for this price.
Very nice ring. Just as described, would recommend it to anyone. Fits nicely, and goes with everything.
Ring is nice width for a man, heavy and smooth. For price it compares well to black rings twice it's price. I will be curious to see if the black wears off.
Very happy with our purchase, it's exactly what we wanted
im interested to see how this product holds up - i bought a cheap one for my fiancee to cover up his ex-wife's name (tattoo ring) - he had asked for something dark and wide, this covered those requests, until we get married this ring seems to be able to do the job we need it to do
I would recommend this ring. it is very nice for the price and the qulity is good.

News Releases by Email
News Release
Tuesday, January 29, 2013
Media contact: Amanda Nalley, 850-410-4943
Several species of grouper, including black, red, yellowfin, scamp, yellowmouth, rock hind and red hind will close to recreational harvest from Feb. 1 through March 31 in Gulf of Mexico state and federal waters, excluding state waters of Monroe County.
Gag grouper has a separate season from other Gulf of Mexico grouper and is currently closed to harvest. A proposed 2013 gag grouper season in state waters will be discussed at the February Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) meeting in Orlando.
The upcoming two-month recreational harvest closure that starts Feb. 1 was put in place to help rebuild the gag grouper fishery. Gag grouper spawn during the February and March closure, so limiting the harvest of other grouper helps reduce the number of gag grouper that are caught unintentionally and die after being released.
More information regarding grouper fishing regulations, including the current grouper closure in Atlantic and Monroe County waters, is available online at MyFWC.com/Fishing. Visit MyFWC.com/Commission to learn more about the February Commission meeting.
FWC Facts:The Saltwater Fishing "Hot Sheet" gives the latest regulatory information for state and federal waters, as well as season updates and other current events in Marine Fisheries.

Hyperbole by Glass Hammer is probably the best song I own for drums.
It's so great.
Hyperbole by Glass Hammer
Footloose & Fancy Free by Bill Bruford
I think most of the songs that really stood out to me as amazing that I've played so far are mentioned here already, although there's a lot of stuff that isn't quite as amazing as some of the other songs but still a lot of fun. Moonboy, He Sleeps in a Grove, Battles and Brotherhood, Persistence of Vision, Grumpytown, and Limousine all fall in this category. And probably more that I can't remember right now... I've been playing a lot of new songs lately, it's hard to keep track.
I'll second this as an unbiased source.
I think most people fail Packet Flier at around 7%, which makes it hard to tell if it's fun or not. Fans of ridiculously hard metal songs with alternating blast beats should definitely check it out though, along with Day of Mourning.
I made it 9% into Packet Flier once. It is, IMO, the hardest song ever in RB on drums to pass, and among the hardest ever to FC.
Also, there are a couple of songs that have disappeared from Peer Review recently, that I'm sure will be making this list as well if/when they are approved and released. I won't name them, as I'm not sure if that's allowed.
All 4 of the fake shark-real zombie tracks are pretty fun, as well as the dear in the headlights tune. Flogging Molly may not be the most outrageous to play, but sure kick arse nonetheless.
I am still curious if people talking about the footloose and fancy free song are just playtesters or if my rbn store hasn't updates since I can't find it. Really hoping that they do get back to work of playtesti g so we can see some more songs. I am hoping to join pretty soon myself so no, I'm not being an ass
the heist made me cream my wheaties, that's how good it is

Gram-positive bacteria
Gram-positive bacteria are those that are stained dark blue or violet by Gram staining. This is in contrast to Gram-negative bacteria, which cannot retain the crystal violet stain, instead taking up the counterstain (safranin or fuchsine) and appearing red or pink. Gram-positive organisms are able to retain the crystal violet stain because of their thick peptidoglycan layer, which is superficial to the cell membrane. This is in contrast to Gram-negative bacteria, which may have a thick or thin peptidoglycan layer that is located between two cell membranes.
Plasma membrane, PG layer and cell wall are three distinct structures. For example, plant cells have rigid cell walls in addition to an outer plasma membrane, and animal cells have only plasma membranes. Thus, cell walls are responsible for structural support and rigidity that plant cells need to survive—as they are not motile organisms, and their survival depends on strong, rigid structures. Animal cells and gram-positive cells (to a certain degree) are amorphous and can change shape, since the outer plasma membrane consists of a dynamic lipid bilayer without the constraints of an additional outer cell wall (which would hinder survival in animal cells).
The following characteristics are generally present in a Gram-positive bacterium:[1]
- cytoplasmic lipid membrane
- thick peptidoglycan layer
- teichoic acids and lipoids are present, forming lipoteichoic acids, which serve as chelating agents, and also for certain types of adherence.
- capsule polysaccharides (only in some species)
- flagellum (only in some species)
- if present, it contains two rings for support as opposed to four in Gram-negative bacteria because Gram-positive bacteria have only one membrane layer.
- The individual peptidoglycan molecules are cross-linked by pentaglycine chains by a DD-transpeptidase enzyme. In gram-negative bacteria, the transpeptidase creates a covalent bond directly between peptidoglycan molecules, with no intervening bridge.
Both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria may have a membrane called an S-layer. In Gram-negative bacteria, the S-layer is attached directly to the outer membrane. In Gram-positive bacteria, the S-layer is attached to the peptidoglycan layer. Unique to Gram-positive bacteria is the presence of teichoic acids in the cell wall. Some particular teichoic acids, lipoteichoic acids, have a lipid component and can assist in anchoring peptidoglycan, as the lipid component is embedded in the membrane.
Along with cell shape, Gram staining is a rapid diagnostic tool of use to group species of bacteria. In traditional and even some areas of contemporary microbiological practice, such staining, alongside growth requirement and antibiotic susceptibility testing, and other macroscopic and physiologic tests, forms the full basis for classification and subdivision of the bacteria (e.g., see figure and pre-1990 versions of Bergey's Manual).
As such, historically, the kingdom Monera was divided into four divisions based primarily on Gram staining: Firmicutes (positive in staining), Gracillicutes (negative in staining), Mollicutes (neutral in staining) and Mendocutes (variable in staining).[2] 16S ribosomal RNA phylogenetic studies of Carl Woese (Department of Microbiology, University of Illinois) and collaborators and colleagues, the monophyly of the Gram-positive bacteria has been challenged,[3] with striking productive implications for the therapeutic and general study of these organisms. Based on molecular studies of 16S sequences, Woese recognised twelve bacterial phyla, two being Gram-positive: high-GC Gram-positives and low-GC Gram-positives (where G and C refer to the guanine and cytosine content in their genomes),[3] which are now referred to by these names, or as Actinobacteria and Firmicutes. The former, the Actinobacteria, are the high GC content Gram-positive bacteria and contains genera such as Corynebacterium, Mycobacterium, Nocardia and Streptomyces. The latter, the Firmicutes are the "low-GC" Gram-positive bacteria, which actually have 45%–60% GC content but lower than that of the Actinobacteria.[1]
Importance of the outer cell membrane in bacterial classification[edit]
Although bacteria are traditionally divided into two main groups, Gram-positive and Gram-negative, based on their Gram-stain retention property, this classification system is ambiguous as it refers to three distinct aspects (staining result, cell-envelope organization, taxonomic group), which do not necessarily coalesce for some bacterial species.[4][5][6][7] The Gram-positive and Gram-negative staining response is also not a reliable characteristic as these two kinds of bacteria do not form phylogenetic coherent groups.[4] However, although gram-staining response of bacteria is an empirical criterion, its basis lies in the marked differences in the ultrastructure and chemical composition of the two main kinds of prokaryotic cells that are found in nature. These kinds of cells are distinguished from each other based upon the presence or absence of an outer lipid membrane, which is a more reliable and fundamental characteristic of the bacterial cells.[4][8]
All Gram-positive bacteria are bounded by a single unit lipid membrane, and they generally contain a thick layer (20-80 nm) of peptidoglycan responsible for retaining the Gram-stain. A number of other bacteria—that are bounded by a single membrane, but stain gram-negative due to either lack of the peptidoglycan layer (viz., mycoplasmas) or their inability to retain the Gram-stain because of their cell wall composition—also show close relationship to the Gram-positive bacteria. For the bacterial (prokaryotic) cells that are bounded by a single cell membrane the term "monoderm bacteria" or "monoderm prokaryotes" has been proposed.[4][4][8]
In contrast to Gram-positive bacteria, all archetypical Gram-negative bacteria are bounded by a cytoplasmic membrane and an outer cell membrane; they contain only a thin layer of peptidoglycan (2-3 nm) between these membranes. The presence of inner and outer cell membranes defines a new compartment in these cells: the periplasmic space or the periplasmic compartment. These bacteria/prokaryotes have been designated as "diderm bacteria."[4][8] The distinction between the monoderm and diderm prokaryotes is supported by conserved signature indels in a number of important proteins (viz. DnaK, GroEL).[4][5][8][9] Of these two structurally distinct groups of prokaryotic organisms, monoderm prokaryotes are indicated to be ancestral. Based upon a number of observations including that the gram-positive bacteria are the major producers of antibiotics and that Gram-negative bacteria are generally resistant to them, it has been proposed that the outer cell membrane in Gram negative bacteria (diderms) has as a protective mechanism against antibiotic selection pressure.[4][5][8][9] Some bacteria, such as Deinococcus, which stain gram-positive due to the presence of a thick peptidoglycan layer and also possess an outer cell membrane are suggested as intermediates in the transition between monoderm (Gram positive) and diderm (gram-negative) bacteria.[4][9] The diderm bacteria can also be further differentiated between simple diderms lacking lipopolysaccharide, the archetypical diderm bacteria where the outer cell membrane contains lipopolysaccharide and the diderm bacteria where outer cell membrane is made up of mycolic acid.[6][9][10]
In general, Gram-positive bacteria have a single lipid bilayer (monoderms), whereas gram-negative have two (diderms). Some taxa lack peptidoglycan (such as the domain Archaea, the class Mollicutes, some members of the Rhickettsiales, and the insect-endosymbionts of the Enterobacteriales) and are gram-variable. This, however, does not always hold true. The Deinococcus-Thermus bacteria have gram-positive stains, although they are structurally similar to gram-negative bacteria with two layers (diderms). The Chloroflexi have a single layer, yet (with some exceptions[11]) stain negative.[12] Two related phyla to the Chloroflexi, the TM7 clade and the Ktedonobacteria, are also monoderms.[13][14]
Some Firmicute species are not gram-positive. These belong to the class Mollicutes (alternatively considered a class of the phylum Tenericutes), which lack peptidoglycan (gram-indeterminate), and the class Negativicutes, which includes Selenomonas and stain gram-negative.[10] Additionally, a number of bacterial taxa (viz. Negativicutes, Fusobacteria, Synergistetes and Elusimicrobia) that are either part of the phylum Firmicutes or branch in its proximity are found to possess a diderm cell structure.[7][9][10] However, a conserved signature indel (CSI) in the HSP60 (GroEL) protein distinguishes all traditional phyla of gram-negative bacteria (e.g., Proteobacteria, Aquificae, Chlamydiae, Bacteroidetes, Chlorobi, Cyanobacteria, Fibrobacteres, Verrucomicrobia, Planctomycetes, Spirochetes, Acidobacteria, etc.) from these other atypical diderm bacteria as well as other phyla of monoderm bacteria (e.g., Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Thermotogae, Chloroflexi, etc.).[9] The presence of this CSI in all sequenced species of conventional LPS-containing gram-negative bacterial phyla provides evidence that these phyla of bacteria form a monophyletic clade and that no loss of the outer membrane from any species from this group has occurred.[9]
In the classical sense, six Gram-positive genera are typically pathogenic in humans. Two of these, Streptococcus and Staphylococcus, are cocci (sphere-shaped bacteria). The remaining organisms are bacilli (rod-shaped bacteria) and can be subdivided based on their ability to form spores. The non-spore formers are Corynebacterium and Listeria (a coccobacillus), whereas Bacillus and Clostridium produce spores.[15] The spore-forming bacteria can again be divided based on their respiration: Bacillus is a facultative anaerobe, while Clostridium is an obligate anaerobe.[16] Also, Rathybacter, Leifsonia, and Clavibacter are three Gram positive genera that cause plant disease.

Member Oorahs!
It is ALWAYS a pleasure to work with a consummate professional such as SgtMaj (Ret.) Frank Pulley. As the company 1stSgt for Hotel Company, MCT, SOI (West), I've attended a number of his briefs and one can visually see a positive change in the student's attention levels as the SgtMaj delivers his presentation. The SgtMaj truly cares about the Marines and the Marine Corps and represents the MCA in an extremely admirable manner. It has been my experience that all Marines (including myself) benefit from the experience of attending a MCA presentation. And regardless of rank or years of experience, Marines should always seek to increase their level of proficiency and knowledge and MCA briefs provide us with that opportunity.
I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone at the association for sponsoring the Ground Awards Dinner on 3 June at the Crystal City Marriott. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were tremendously pleased with the hospitality shown to us and the great accommodations. As well, I wanted to thank the association for the DVD of the event that was mailed to me. It is something that I will keep and treasure for the rest of my days. Again, thanks for everything.
Semper Fidelis!
Just a quick note of thanks to Patty Everett. I arrived home from a week vacation to find a package from the Marine Corps Association. I was expecting to find one of the magazines I requested, however, I was pleasantly surprised to discover both magazines were inside. In a time when it seems no one cares about customer satisfaction I am gratified to discover that customer service is not a lost art at the MCA. Once again I thank you for your efforts on my request. It may have been thing but the effort made a huge impression.
Ms. Pappas,
Congratulations. You are more responsive and informative than any other website contact I can recall. I appreciate that very much. It's really nice to have someone like you at the MCA "front door."
Sincerely, Alfred
Thank you for all your help over the phone today. Planning a Marine Corps Ball is a lot of time, energy and work.
Timothy C. Summers
I received the shipment of plaques, books and certificates today for
mail call. It was more exciting to me than candy or magazines! Thank
you very much.
Semper Fi,
I'm so pleased to see all the great merchandise you are stocking and the awesome promotions. Your store was dissappointing a few years ago and I shopped only at Sgt Grit.
Now, I can find what I am looking for with you guys.
Great job!
I received my Dress Blues I ordered from The Marine
Shop in the mail today. And I just wanted to write and tell everyone there
that you all did a great job! Everyone from the tailors, to the customer
service reps. I am highly impressed with the quality and tailoring of your
uniforms. I will definitely keep coming back to The Marine Shop in the
future for uniforms!
You have been the easiest person I have ever dealt with since I have started MWR out here. You were very quick to respond to my every question and very knowledgeable about your work for an order over a phone that was my greatest experience. If you were in the Marine Corps Skylar I would write you up for a meritorious promotion. I will surely write it in my books to pass the word to the next MWR rep to continue the membership with you guys.
Sgt Richard Colmenarez
Member saying thanks to our Customer Service Representative, Skylar Hand.
Thank you so much for your help!!! I think you should be commended for your excellent customer service! You were extremely helpful and I was about to get upset about my order but you handled it before I could say anything. You are the best. Thanks again!!!
