Evanston Botox reviews
58% of Evanston reviewers said Botox was worth it
"American Laser Skin Care - Chicago, IL"
Botox:Dr. Galanis I received 24 units of botox last week and now my inner corners of my eyes , my eyelid and bridge of my nose all look swollen. I called the manager and she said it's kind of normal. That is when I really got upset. This was not my first time getting botox and this hideous result had never happened. I did mention to the doctor that I really do not want little bit of botox done... more
"20 Units Botox to Forehead for..."
I hate it. My eyelids are more hooded and I look tired. My forehead looks great but...not worth looking like my eyes are tiny or tired. I'm wondering how many more weeks until I start to see ANY improvement in the hooded eyes. Anyone who had similar changes, when can I hope for improvement?! Sad :( I am getting used to the eye changes but still mad at myself for doing it. I wear my... more
"Good Treatment for the Dreaded "11s"..."
I will say this- the first time got Botox, I took the MDs suggestion for 20 units (between the eyebrows, glabella region). After it kicks in (2-3 days), I got a SPLITTING headache that lasted a solid week straight, sun-up to sun-down, Motrin did not touch it. It was a little hard to concentrate at work because the headache was very distracting (I normally NEVER like never-ever get... more
"Botox forehead - Chicago, IL"
First time for Botox. No bruising swelling or headaches. It looks great. The price of Botox depends on how many units you receive and how many areas I only did one very small area. I have some forehead wrinkles that are frown lines or anger lines in between eyes. My forehead looks smooths and great! Very happy with results. Very quick and painless. I can see why most people say they do it on... more
"Just What I Wanted -Chicago, IL"
I was nervous to look overdone and bizarre. Dr. Conrad explained the physics and science behind the muscles and gave me a very soft natural look. No one can tell I've done it but everyone keeps saying I look really pretty. Im happy. There is so much bad botox and cosmetics out there. I guess some people like it but not me and definitely not my husband. more
"Botox and Melanoma Removal -..."
I've always had heavy and pronounced forehead lines and as I go older, I developed a dark melanoma on my temple. I met one of Dr. Cohen's staff members at an outing and the conversation lead to skin care and procedures. I was given the easy to remember website (theartofeyes.com) and later visited it. The website is modern, simple to navigate adn provided ample information to motivate me to... more
"Drooping Eyebrows - Chicago, IL"
I had a very disappointing experience with Dr Weisman. I have been getting Botox for about 5 years. I am fairly young, and so I normally only need about 20-30 units of Botox to take care of the wrinkles on my forehead. Dr Weisman has the very unusual practice of charging for "zones" rather than units. I have never heard of this before. When I went to see him he decided I needed two "zones" and... more
"Beleiving in Botox - Chicago, IL"
I just tried Botox for the first time a couple of days ago, as I have the 11 lines as they are labeled. I am 33 years old and have never thought of doing it until a friend/ co worker of mine tried it. Her results were great. Let me tell you, I LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! Would definately recommend anyone interested in putting time on hold to try IT. more
I have really enjoyed the results of my botox injections I had recieved with Dr. Carqueville. She eased my anxieties and was very patient with my follow up questions. The results are better than I could have imagined! I hope to return to Dr. Carqueville to have possible peels or other injections as I reallly trust her knowledge and expertise. more
I know we are all out of our minds to inject poison into our foreheads, but it is such a great product! :) I love it! I use it for my forehead only and it is great! Yes, it does hurt a bit when the doctor injects it because he needs to inject it into ten or so different areads of your forehead but it is not too bad... Look at the bright side: you will have a totally smooth forehead! more
"First Time Botox, Did Nothing at All..."
I got 20 units injected and it felt liked it worked a little, then went back to normal in about 8 days. I called the dr, and she gave me 10 more, again, nothing. Now I am determined to go somewhere to do it right, after reading all the information, it is rare that botox wont work, so I am trying a dr that is recommended by friends. more
"Perfect Eye Area Restoration -..."
I'm 57, face and eyelides starting to crease/sag. After a minor tweak I look 5 years younger yet face looks the same. In initial consultation I explained limited budget - what would have the biggest impact. Answer: filler under the eye and botox in the same area. Perfect. Precise, non-ego doctor. Next, fraxel laster on full face (approx $3K). Upper eyelid surgery if the budget holds. I trust... more
"Not Sure What to Think - Chicago, IL"
It has been almost a full week since my visit and the jury is still out. It has helped between my brows a little but only directly in the center and it had absolutely ZERO affect on my forehead. ZERO. Not to mention the fact that they advertise $13 per unit, only to be charged $14 per unit on my visit. They also have an offer for 50% off the first 20 units of Botox which I did not receive and... more
"Botox is One of my Addictions -..."
I didnt have Botox done for over a year. Now I need to start over. After you have Botox often, you can spread appointments and get it less often. I couldn't wait to get BOTOX. I didnt do it because I was pregnant and now I can move my forehead and getting small line between my eyebrows, I absolutely hate that line. So, I had 40 ii injected today between my eyebrows, and on the whole forehead,... more
Hi all! Im happy to say that I'm 6 weeks post injections. I had 28 units of Botox in my forehead and glabella . I say I'm happy because every week that goes by is a week closer to healthy days. The past 6 weeks have been some of the most scary and challenging weeks of my life. It all started 5 days after the Botox injections. I started getting very emotional for no reason, then severe... more
Well I see that I am one more poster with a very bad experienced, I hope I can get an answer about when this will end. Got 24 units of Botox on Oct 20, the very next day for the first time in my life I had a severe anxiety attack. The day after that I got my period and the flu, of what felt like the flu with no fever. I thought I was either going crazy or about to die, or maybe both.... more
"Ecstatic in Chicago - Botox in Brow..."
I am thrilled and hooked on Botox. I have been receiving injections for the last three years and I am very happy. One caveat , sometimes you have to go to a pricier doctor than bargain shop. The first M.D. I went to charged a lot of$, but it lasted 5-7 months. I now see another doctor who is very nice, but there is no longevity.I get it in my forehead as well as in my furrows between the brows... more
"Droopy Eyelids Caused by Botox"
Botox (between my eyebrows)I had botox done before from another injector and always happy with that, but changed my injector to a closer location and also had a great deal so went there instead. It was sooo painful, and before it wasn't like that at all.So now have eyelids droops and been 2 wks now. Hope it goes away soon cause I'm hating it. Will not go to that injector again!!!! I think it... more
"I Give Botox a Marginal Thumbs Up"
I had my forehead done over a week ago. You are supposed to wait a full two weeks to see full results, which I may follow up with later. I'm 40 and my largest complaint was deep furrows and frown lines in my forehead. The injection specialist shot up my entire forehead and gave me two shots around the eye area for "lift". The horizontal lines on my forehead are almost invisible,... more
"If They Screw It Up...you Look Awful."
I've had botox injections a few times and it's about 50/50. Sometimes there is quite an improvement but other times, if they don't inject it correctly, I look worse. I went in two weeks ago, same person that I've always gone to. My eyes are drooping unbelievably. Everyone I've seen has asked me what happened. $800 and I can't leave the house. I won't be getting this again. more

Sharp Corp. and LG Electronics Inc. (066570) will increase production of Apple Inc. (AAPL) iPad displays in April after shipping the parts in smaller quantities currently, researcher IHS said in a report.
Samsung Electronics Co. now accounts for most production of the key component of Apple's new tablet computer, the researcher said.
"It is likely that the volume shipments of the new iPad display are currently coming from Samsung," IHS said. LG and Sharp "are expected to ramp up volume production of new iPad displays in April."
The new report was aimed at clarifying earlier research on which suppliers are producing the display for the iPad, IHS said.

About the StorySpangleland! Sawdust and glitter, buffoons and cotton candy! It's a place where your wildest dreams come true! At least, that's what you think... until you get behind the scenes at the big top. Then you learn how easily sweet dreams can turn into nightmares.
Beyond the spangles lies a seedy world of deception and crime. Exploring the tattered corners of the circus lot, you overhear a conversation about the owner's daughter. It seems she's been kidnapped, and the hired gumshoe couldn't find the nose on his face. Good samaritan that you are, you start poking around on your own.
But watch your step. As the night progresses, you realize you're in as much danger as the little girl. For the kidnapper is lurking right there on the lot, trying to set you up for a permanent slot in the freak show.
Game Details
Editorial Reviews
When I first played Ballyhoo, I strongly disliked it because of a technical problem. [...] But if you can get past these glitches, you will find quite a nice little game. There are several characters, all well developed. There are everal amusing little responses and sidelights [...] The game captures the circus feel in much the same way that Hollywood Hijinx captures the Hollywood feel. As an added bonus, you get an all text blackjack game in the bargain.

Everybody knows about Zork. Everybody knows about Enchanter. Everybody knows about Deadline. Nobody, however, really talks about Ballyhoo. I decided to check it out, hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. I'm now 100% convinced that Infocom is incapable of making a bad game.
Ballyhoo is challenging, but not too challenging. It does make you think, but there aren't all that many rooms, so it's fairly easy to wrap your head around navigation. There is one part, though, that is ridiculously difficult and takes a while. If you really want to know what I'm referring to, (Spoiler - click to show)it's the rather infamous part where you are hypnotized. This includes a maze of sorts and a lot of methodical planning, because if you make one wrong move, you have no chance of winning anymore.
As long as you save often (as you can't undo moves), this is a very enjoyable game.

Gophers Edge Iowa State on the Road
RECORDS: University of Minnesota (4-0-0, 0-0-0 Big Ten); Iowa State University (3-1-0, 0-0-0 ).
Sep 1, 2013
The University of Minnesota Women's Soccer team was able to edge past the Iowa State University Cyclones on the road Sunday afternoon. The Gophers improved to 4-0-0 on the season, while the Cyclones fell to 3-1-0.
The game featured two undefeated teams looking to continue their streak. The lone goal of the match was by Iowa State's Alyssa Willamson off a corner kick. Willamson touched the ball that went into the net resulting in an own goal to give the Gophers the advantage.
The Gophers were left without their leading scorer, Katie Thyken, after an injury in the first five minutes of play that took her out of the game.
Olivia Schultz, Taylor Stainbrook and Lauren Bauer all attempted to connect the ball with net. Taylor Stainbrook is credited with the only shot on goal (SOG) for the Golden Gophers).
Kristen Knutson was able to save the lone shot on goal by the Cyclone's Jennifer Dominguez.
This physical game lead to two yellow cards and a red card. The first yellow card was issued to Iowa State's Kourtney Camy in the 51st minute of play. In the next minute, Camy committed another foul, this time on Minnesota's Taylor Stainbrook, that lead to Camy receiving a red card. The Cyclones played down a player for the final 38 minutes of the match.
Head Coach, Stefanie Golan, on the first road game of the season...
"This was one of the ugliest games I've been a part of. I'm really proud of our girls fighting through the adversity and finding a way to close out a tough, physical Sunday afternoon game."
The Golden Gophers will host the U of M Gold Classic this coming weekend, Sept. 6 and 8. This tournament will feature Ole Miss, LSU and USC. The Gophers will take on LSU on Friday, Sept. 6 at 7:00 p.m. as the second game of the tournament.

Bob Currey
Thank you, Steve, and thank all of you for joining us today. I am pleased to report that we had another solid quarter. The existing business continues to perform well and the North Pitt acquisition is on track to close in the fourth quarter, or at the latest early in 2008.
We continue to successfully execute on our strategy of providing high-quality broadband and voice services, thus generating strong sustainable cash flow to support our dividend.
This is achieved by growing revenue per customer, improving operating efficiency and maintaining our disciplined capital expenditure philosophy.
With regards to the quarter, I will start with a brief overview of the financial results and then talk about the strong operating metrics.
Our results for the third quarter were solid. Revenue and adjusted EBITDA were $80.3 million and $33.5 million respectively. Results this quarter were impacted by a prior period subsidy settlement. The net settlement amount resulted in $2.1 million reduction in both revenue and adjusted EBITDA.
The dividend pay out ratio for the quarter was 92.6% including the subsidy true-up, and 77.4% without it. Even with the impact of the true-up, we are at a comfortable 77.7% year-to-date pay out ratio.
We delivered strong operating metrics. Growing connections by 4,000 this quarter, and we have now surpassed 300,000 total connections.
In terms of DSL, I would describe it as a phenomenal quarter. We added over 4,300 new DSL subscribers, bringing the total subscriber base to almost 63,000. This represents our strongest third quarter ever, and brings our penetration of primary residential lines to 38.6%.
For the quarter, we also added 1,500 IPTV customers across both states, bringing the total subscriber base to just over 11,000.
In August, with the launch of Illinois we completed the high definition roll out, and now offer a competitive HD channel line up in both states. The picture quality is great and the customer reaction continues to be very positive. To date, 750 customers have signed up for HD, representing a 7% penetration of our IPTV households.
In the past I've talked about our ability to tailor programming to meet the needs of our subscribers. Another example of that is the Big 10 network. We offer it in Illinois and it is not offered by our cable competitors. We believe that being able to react to market demand is, key in helping to differentiate us in the marketplace and gain market share.
Regarding DVR, we continue to test the product and are still targeting a fourth quarter launch in all markets. Combining HD with DVR will further strengthen our IPTV platform, and when coupled with voice on data provide a very compelling triple play value proposition.
DSL and IPTV are sticky, and have been drivers of the growth of connections and revenue per customer. Approximately 90% of our IPTV customers take our full triple play offering, making us the leading triple play provider in our markets.
As I previously mentioned, we also offer a hosted VoIP product in Texas, targeted towards small and medium size business. We continued to be pleased with the subscriber growth. We added 350 seats in the third quarter, bringing the total number to just over 2,200. I would add that these seat counts that are associated with this product has more than doubled in the last 12 months and that it is not included in our total connection counts.
On the competitive front, although we continue to expect additional entrance, no new cable companies launched the voice product in our markets during this quarter.
And finally, I am pleased to report that we've successfully completed Phase III, our last phase of our billing integration. This completes the Illinois and Texas billing project. I appreciate all the hard work put forth by the billing teams. After briefly catching their breath, they have now turned their attention to finalizing the integration plan for North Pittsburgh and will focus their attention on converting those systems to Consolidated's platforms.
I'll now turn the call over to Steve Childers for our financial review.
Steve Childers
Thanks, Bob, and good morning to everyone. As Bob mentioned, we are pleased with both our third quarter and year-to-date results. This morning, I'll review our quarterly financial performance and then update 2007 guidance.
Revenue for the quarter was $80.3 million, which is consistent with the third quarter of 2006. As anticipated, third quarter revenues were negatively impacted by prior period ICLS subsidy settlement. The settlement was associated with 2006 time period, and resulted in a net $2.1 million reduction in revenue compared to the third quarter of last year, resulting in a 900,000 negative variance.
Also reflected in the net subsidy settlement this quarter was the impact of an update to our 2007 ICLS cost studies. This resulted in $398,000 positive adjustment in the quarter, of which $265,000 related to the first half of 2007.
Additionally, revenues from local calling services were down, primarily due to the reduction in local access lines. While the $2 million increase in data and internet revenue was driven by growth in broadband customers.
Total operating expenses for the quarter were $65.8 million, an increase of approximately $1 million compared to the third quarter of 2006. This increase was driven by $600,000 in incremental non-cash compensation associated with restricted share plan, $400,000 weather related overtime, and $600,000 associated with the resolution of a vendor disputes reflected in both periods. These were partially offset by $600,000 in reduction in depreciation and amortization.
We would expect fourth quarter expense levels to be consistent to slightly below those of the third quarter although it could be slightly impacted by the timing of the integration cost with respect to North Pittsburgh.
Net interest expense for the quarter was $11.9 million, an increase of $700,000 compared to the third quarter of 2006. This increase was driven by increased borrowings associated with July 2006 share repurchase, and new interest rate swap agreements that were initiated to both, replace existing agreements that expired and to increase our overall hedged position.
Consolidated term debt is now approximately 99% hedged, with an average annual interest rate of 66.6%. Income tax expense for the quarter was $2 million reflecting a decrease of $1.9, compared to the third quarter of 2006. The decline was driven by a difference in pretax income, and by the fact that the third of 2006 included $800,000 in additional tax expense associated with the finalizing and filing in 2005 federal return.
Accordingly, net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $2.3 million, compared to $2 million for the same period last year. Net income for common share for the third quarter of 2007 was $0.9, compared to $0.7 for the same period last year. However, we believe it is appropriate to look at third quarter income per share on an adjusted basis. As detailed on the adjusted net income per share schedule in the earnings release, our adjusted number was $0.14 per share.
After adding back the anticipated subsidy settlement, adjusted EBITDA would have been $35.6 million, which was consistent with our expectations.
Capital expenditures were on plan at $8 million in the third quarter of 2007. From the liquidity standpoint, we ended the quarter with $24.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, and our $30 million evolver remains fully available to us.
For the third quarter of 2007, our total net leverage ratio as calculated in our earnings release was four times to one. All of our coverage ratios were well with the compliance levels of our credit facility.
Cash available to pay dividends or CAPD was $10.9 million for the quarter, yielding a 92.6% dividend payout ratio. Excluding the prior period subsidy settlements and the run rate payout ratio, was 77.4% for the quarter.
Now, I'd like to update our 2007 guidance.
Capital expenditures for the full year are expected to be in the range of $32.5 million to $33.5 million. Cash interest expense is expected to be in a range of $44 million to $44.5 million, and cash income taxes are expected to be in the range of $13 million to $14 million.
With respect to our dividend, our Board of Directors has declared the next quarterly dividend of approximately $0.39 per common share payable on February 1, 2008 to shareholders of record on January 15, 2008.
I will now turn the call back over to Bob for an update on the North Pittsburgh and closing remarks.
Bob Currey
Thanks Steve. We continue to be very excited about our North Pittsburgh transaction. It adds attractive markets to our portfolio, it has a strong network that will be leveraged to increase broadband penetration and launch IPTV, and it's expected to be cash flow accretive in the first full year of operations. In terms of an update, the North Pittsburgh shareholder meetings will be held on Tuesday, November 13. The regulatory approval process is nearing completion, and the integration planning is well underway.
From a regulatory approval perspective, the FTC has granted early termination of Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period. The FTC has approved both our international and domestic 214 applications. We are very close to completing the process with the Pennsylvania PUC. We have successfully concluded discussions with all the interveners and expect to be on the December 6th PUC open meeting docket.
Assuming PUC approval in December, we would be in a position to close in the fourth quarter, or at the latest in early 2008. In terms of integration, the planning process is underway and doing very well. This is a very familiar territory for us. We are using the same playbook that has proven successful on our prior integrations. There have been detailed planning sessions between the various process owners from both companies. And, in collaboration with North Pitt management team, several integration projects have been fast tracked.
I will mention two key projects; one, IPTV deployment, and the migration of the financial system from J.D. Edwards to our PeopleSoft. Project teams have the name for both efforts, and the implementation process has begun. We are anxious to get going, and will be well prepared to hit the ground running once the transaction closes.
As mentioned on this call and previous ones, we have spent the last several months working with the North Pitt team on completing the detailed integration plans, having discussions internally on organizational structure and validating our synergy assumptions. As a result of all of this, we're pleased to report that nothing has changed with regard to our synergy estimates.
We are very confident that we will achieve both the OpEx and the CapEx targets previously provided. If you are not aware, North Pittsburgh also released their earnings this morning. Then you may refer to their press release for the specifics on the quarter.
Although third quarter access line loss was higher than the second quarter, their results were in line with our expectations. In advance of the transaction closing, the incoming cable providers have increased their promotional activities. We expected this and this is one of the reasons we've fast tracking IPTV.
Lastly, regarding the financing for the transaction, both Moody's and S&P recently affirmed their existing ratings for us. We intend to launch the bank deal on Wednesday of next week, and expect to be in position to close and fund the acquisition and financing transactions shortly after receiving the Pennsylvania PUC approval.
So, in summary, we are pleased with our performance this past quarter. We are excited with both how the current business is performing and the opportunities presented by the North Pitt transaction. We look forward to continuing our focus on our customers with both great service and great products.
And with that summary, Kate I would like to open it up for questions.
Question-and-Answer Session
(Operator Instructions) Your fist question is from Patrick Ryan from Lehman Brothers.
Patrick Ryan - Lehman Brothers
Good morning and thanks for taking the question. I just want to talk a little bit about the IPTV potential over North Pittsburgh. I am wondering if you can maybe give us an idea of when you expect to launch that product, and maybe when marketing would begin? And then an idea of what percent of lines will actually be able to get that product? Thanks.
Bob Currey
Yeah. Good morning, Patrick. We planned, as I mentioned with the fast tracking of that project. We plan on launching as soon as possible. I can't give you a specific date today, except to tell you that all of the planning is well along. The engineering is done and completed. The marketing programs are ready to launch, and as soon as this transaction closes, we will launch pretty quickly after that date. As far as the second part of your question, the size of the Pittsburgh market, we'll launch with approximately 80% coverage right from the get going.
Patrick Ryan - Lehman Brothers
Okay. And just one quick follow-up, will you also be launching HD and DVR in that market at the same time?
Bob Currey
Yes, we will. We'll have the same HD and DVR products across all of our markets.
Patrick Ryan - Lehman Brothers
Great, thanks a lot.
Bob Currey
You're welcome.
Your next question is from Jonathan Chaplin from J.P. Morgan.
Jonathan Chaplin - J.P. Morgan.
Good morning, guys. So, DSL and access line, both came in quite a lot better than we expected, and they really bug trends we've seen, pretty much across the industry this quarter. I'm wondering if you can give us some insights, into what you're doing on the DSL front. That it's driving the growth that you're seeing at the moment. I mean, it's particularly impressive given how high, I think you probably have the highest DSL penetration across the group already, and still you're growing at a faster rate. And I am wondering if you have any insight into the impact that DSL penetration is having on access lines. I'm wondering if it's the high DSL penetration that's resulting in better than to peer access line trends as well? Thank you.
Bob Currey
Good morning, Jonathan.
Jonathan Chaplin - JP Morgan.
Hey, Bob.
Bob Currey
Thanks for that multi part question here. Let me see I've got them all. The first part, as far as, what are we doing with DSL, nothing different than we have in the past. We have maintained the pricing. If they take a longer term contract, we do discount the product. But it's more of the same, just offering a value proposition. Good word of mouth in our community is about the value of the product. And I would also add that the value of the triple play has certainly contributed to our DSL success.
Regarding access lines losses, we are strong believers that the bundle is sticky. That IPTV does add to that bundle. We are up to the 11,000 customers. We definitely see less churn with the more products that our customers take. And at the end of the day, it is the value of the bundle that is the attraction that is responsible for our access line losses to-date.
Jonathan Chaplin - JP Morgan
So Bob, if I could just follow-up on your DSL comment. Is it the availability of video in a greater portion of your footprint that resulted in record net adds or record third quarter net adds this time around? You think that's the biggest contributor to the increase in growth that you are seeing?
Bob Currey
No not at all, because we didn't even expand the homes passed of IPTV in this quarter, Jonathan. They are basically, where they are going to be for the remainder of this year. So, that wouldn't be a contributor. It's just again, the value of the product, I will give my marketing and sales team a lot of credit. A very focused and a compelling product, and we have launched a naked product. I announced that on the last call it hasn't acquired a lot of new customers at this point, and we charge a $5 premium for it. But it has worked particularly in the college environment, the off-campus student housing. So, it's really just more the same, second quarter was good, but seasonal, and the third quarter bounced back up to where we had expected to be.
Jonathan Chaplin - JP Morgan
That's great. Thank you very much.
Your next question is from Robert Simmons from Oppenheimer.
Robert Simmons - Oppenheimer
Hi, guys. I had two questions. One is you said that you actually are passing more homes this year, but what are your expectations for '08 and '09 in your urban markets?
Bob Currey
Yeah, thanks for the call, Robert. The plan is to add roughly 30,000 homes next year and 20 in '09.
Robert Simmons - Oppenheimer
Okay, that's great. Thanks. And the other things is, can you talk more about the subsidy true-up a bit, explain a little more how that works?
Steve Childers
Hi, Rob. This is Steve Childers. Thanks for your question. The true-up is basically, in this third quarter was kind of back review than what we actually recognized in the third quarter. We recorded a $2.1 million net ICLS, or interstate common line support true-up, $2.4 million of that actually was attributable to 2006. And then based on that -- and that was trigged by the filing of our final cost studies in July of this year, representing 2006, which basically trued-up our expenses in the rate days, math categorization of investment for that time period. At the same, we also revise our 2007 projection for ICLS revenue requirements and that generated a positive true-up of roughly $398,000 that was booked in the quarter, $265,000 of that was attributable to the first half of this year, $133,000 was attributable in the third quarter and should in our run rate going into fourth quarter.
Robert Simmons - Oppenheimer
Alright, got you. Thank you very much.
Steven Childers
(Operator Instructions) Your next question is from Chris Larsen from Credit Suisse.
Unidentified Analyst
Hi, this is Brad for Chris. I just had a real quick question on your level of cable VoIP competition now. I know it's really low in Texas, Illinois. But, I was wondering if you could just remind us where it's at, where do you think its going, and then you mentioned in the Pittsburgh properties that it's ramping up, if you could just kind of compare the two markets and sort of where you see that going as well?
Bob Currey
Yeah, Brad. Mediacom in Illinois, which covers about 60% of the territory, is the only cable company that has launched a VoIP product. We've seen VoIP competition from the Vonage's and others. But as far as the cable competitors, it's only been Mediacom up till this point.
Unidentified Analyst
Okay, and then in Pittsburgh?
Bob Currey
In Pittsburgh they have a launched both cable companies up there, Armstrong and Comcast, have both launched a VoIP product.
Unidentified Analyst
Okay. And you don't have any idea how many percent of lines that it covers or is it all of them?
Bob Currey
I think it's everything. It would be ubiquitous to the whole territory.
Unidentified Analyst
Okay, thank you.
Bob Currey
You're welcome.
(Operator Instructions) There are no further questions at this time. Please proceed with your presentation or any closing remarks.
Bob Currey
Well, thank you, Kate. And now, I thank all of you for joining us today, and for your continued interest and support of Consolidated. As you heard today, we remain excited about our current position and opportunities and look forward to updating you in the future. Thanks, and have a great day.
Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes your conference for today. We thank you for your participation, and ask that you please disconnect your lines. Thank you.

This week marks the 15th anniversary of auction site eBay's UK launch. The time period seems extraordinary when you consider how the company has embedded itself into our everyday lives, as well as helping spearhead the growth of online shopping in the UK. Originally set up in 1995 by French-born entrepreneur Pierre Omidyar, the site has gone from strength to strength over the past 15 years, going through many changes and challenges during that time. As way of celebrating, here is our look back at some of the highs and lows of eBay's history on these shores.
The highs
Major growth
Over three billion sales worth £65bn have been completed in Britain alone, with 19m UK shoppers visiting the site every month - around a third of the population. Its popularity has continued to rise too, with 14 gifts bought on eBay each second last Christmas, a figure likely to be beaten this year.
In 2012, the site also named the UK as its fastest growing market, having contributed several years of double-digit growth year-on-year, far ahead of many other countries throughout the world, and this pace has only continued as the UK shops online more.
The company was also quick to embrace mobile shopping, with an item is bought every second in the UK via the eBay app, which has so far seen over 50m Android downloads, mirroring the growth in its "Buy Now" option, which contributes over 75% of sales on the site, instead of its traditional auction format.
eBay UK users have also raised nearly £70m over the past decade using the eBay for charity scheme, which lets buyers and sellers support good causes in the country when they shop.
Some rather 'unique' sales
As an open marketplace offering the sale and purchase of nearly everything, it's no surprise that some odd or special items have turned up on eBay UK over the years, proving that there really could be a buyer for everything.
The first ever UK eBay purchase was a CD from German rock group Scorpions for £2.89, an inauspicious start for a site that had already been established in the US for four years at the time of its UK launch in 1999.
Since then, notable items listed on the site include a handbag belonging to Baroness Thatcher, which sold for £103,000, Princess Beatrice's notorious "Pretzel" royal wedding hat (£80,000) and a woolly mammonth skeleton (£61,000).
The site says that the most expensive item sold on eBay UK was a Gulfstream II private jet, which sold for £2.94m in 2001, whilst the most popular goods include shoes (a pair sells every seven seconds) and handbags (every 19 seconds).
UK acquisitions
eBay's acquisition of PayPal in October 2002 is undoubtedly one of the key factors behind it becoming the success it has been worldwide, but the company has also invested heavily in UK business too, as it launched here the year after it floated on the US stock exchange.
In July 2005, it paid an undisclosed sum to acquire London-based online listing site Gumtree, which had been set up by Michael Pennington and Simon Crookall five years earlier. The site, which also offers services such as accommodation and job listings, was integrated with eBay's site, with users able to pay for goods or services using PayPal.
Since then, it has also invested in "rapid fulfilment service" Shutl, which connects online retailers with next-day couriers, and was acquired by eBay in October 2013 as it looked to offer a "one hour" delivery service in the UK.
All of this has helped the company, which employ 33,000 people worldwide, to a market value of $65bn.

SQF Certification
- Overview
- Benefits of Certification
- Why Work With NSF?
- SQF Packaging
- Certification Process
NSF International is accredited to certify to the Safe Quality Food (SQF) Program, a comprehensive HACCP-based food safety and quality management certification system for all sectors of the food industry, from primary production to transport and distribution.
SQF Code, Edition 7 is a Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) benchmarked food safety standard that supports industry or company-branded products and offers benefits to suppliers and their customers. Products produced and manufactured under the SQF Code certification retain a high degree of acceptance in global markets.
Contact us at +1 877.893.1325 or email@example.com to begin your SQF certification.
Benefits of Certification
Certification to GFSI benchmarked standards like SQF increases brand protection and minimizes risk. SQF certification provides independent verification that a product or process complies with specific international standards. It enables a food supplier to give assurances that food has been produced, prepared and handled according to the most recognized standards.
SQF certification demonstrates a commitment to quality processes and continual improvement, and enables access to top retailers.
On July 1, 2012, SQFI introduced SQF Code, Edition 7, which serves as the replacement for the SQF 1000 and SQF 2000 codes and can be applied to all sectors of the food industry. In addition, SQF offers a packaging standard applicable to packaging manufacturers and converters.
Why Work With NSF?
NSF International is the leading global certifier to GFSI benchmarked standards, with exceptional technical expertise, consistently calibrated auditors and capacity for a timely path to certification. Backed by nearly 70 years of food safety expertise and a current average of 35,000 GFSI certification audits performed annually, we enable companies around the globe to demonstrate compliance with the most recognized food safety standards in the world.
NSF companies are accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) and ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB), and has a worldwide network of highly skilled and experienced auditors to help organizations of all sizes implement complex food safety solutions. We can certify to all categories of SQF Code, Edition 7.
SQF Packaging
To help ensure food safety at all levels of the supply chain, many food producers are now requiring their packaging suppliers to implement a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) program and to be certified to GFSI benchmarked standards such as SQF for Packaging.
The SQF code for packaging covers requirements for packaging design, manufacture, documentation, implementation and recordkeeping for a general food packaging manufacturing operation. The standard requires that a packaging product meets food packaging safety legislation, including U.S. FDA packaging materials specifications.
If you manufacture materials or packaging for the food industry, talk with us about food safety certification. Stay ahead of your competition and expand your market potential with certification to GFSI benchmarked standards by NSF International.
Certification Process
Certification to SQF generally takes an average of six to nine months, depending on a facility's level of readiness. The process follows nine basic steps:
- You apply to NSF for certification.
- We identify your training needs/you receive training.
- You perform a self-assessment of compliance with the standard.
- We perform an optional pre-assessment (gap analysis).
- We perform a desk audit.
- We perform an onsite certification audit and identify corrective actions.
- Your facility addresses the corrective actions.
- We verify/approve corrective actions.
- We issue the certificate.
To maintain SQF certification, companies must re-certify every year.

What do you think of Daemon
|Way to overpowered!
|Balanced, i like him!
|Underpowered Buff now!
|Too long, didn't read the post.
|Voters: 5. You may not vote on this poll
This is a champion i just thought of and would like to hear peoples ideas on.
Daemon is a mid range caster for the most part (I'll explain later) He uses duel pistols with bullets charged with demonic aura for his spells. The duel pistols are non existent and are magical weapons created with Daemon's Demonic magic.
Attack power Low
Ability power High
Defense power Medium
Earlier i explained he is a mid range caster for the most part, however this is not the case after he activates his ultimate. After Daemons ultimate is cast He becomes a Bruiser offtank. I'll explain how this works later on, but for now, Think of it as nidalee's transformation.
Now on to his Skills
Passive: Demonic Intuition: Daemon gains abiltiy power each time he kills a enemy champion. He gains 10 ability power per kill capping at 60.
Explanation: This ability is mainly for early to mid game where it will make a big impact. It increases his ability power pemanantly (Much like viegars Q). This effect goes for the whole game. This means if Daemon recieves 6 kills very early on, he gets a 60 ability power making him transfer into mid game very powerful. This will go straight to his ability power as well. This means things such as Rabadons Deathcap will increase it.
Q: Demonic Duel Shot Daemon shoots out two powerful bullets (1 from each gun) These bullets pierce the opponents defence these do a base damage of 50/70/80/90/100 and scale 0.7 with ability power.. Cooldown 3 seconds.
Explanation: What this basically means is that Daemon shoots out a bullet from each gun to damage his opponent. These are skillshots. They both come from daemon and ignore minion collition, but stop on impact with a champion. The meaning of "These bullets pierce the opponents defence" refers to magic resist. The bullets ignore 1/3 of the units magic resist, however have fairly low base damage..
W: Demonic Overload Daemon taps into the demons power granting him bonus ap for 3 seconds and grants him bonus movement speed. Ap bonus: 10/20/30/40/50 per skill point. Movement speed bonus 25/30/35/40/45% per skill point. Cooldown 9/8/7/6/5 seconds decreasing per skill point.
Explanation: Since daemon is a mid range mage he needs to quickly get in and out of the fray to deal his short quick damage and get back out of the fight only to return for some more damage. This spell allows him to get some speed to dart around and some bonus ap for the extra damage. This spell at rank 1 needs to be used sparingly because of its fairly long cooldown. However it can be used more and more as you rank it up.
E: Bloodlust Lock shot Daemon's demonic bloodlust overtakes his senses. Daemon stands in place for 3 seconds and shoots any enemies around him for the 3 seconds. Daemon shoots these enemies randomly at the speed of light. He can only shoot each enemy 3 times however if every enemy in the range of the attack has been shot the max number of times the ability will be deactivated.. (These shots do not attack minions) These shots do 10/20/30/40/50 damage per shot and scale 0.4 ability power per shot. Cooldown 13/12/11/10/9 seconds decreasing per skill point.
Explanation: This is Daemons secondary damage ability. This ability is not very reliable as the opponent you want to hit may walk out of your attack range. Preventing you from hitting them with the spell and chasing them since your locked in place for 3 seconds. The shots fire at a speed of 3 shots every second. The shots attack enemies randomly so there is no way of knowing who it will hit. I added the part of the ability where he disables the ability after hitting each enemy in the area the max number of times to allow it to be used against a single target. It'd be bad if you shot the single target 3 times then couldn't do anything right? The shots themselves do magic damage and scale 0.4 of ability power (per shot). This means if a target is hit with 3 shots it will scale 1.2 altogether. These shots have a low base damage.
R: Demonic Transformation. Daemon becomes the demon incarnate himself. 1/3 of his ability power is transfered into attack damage and the other 2/3 is transfered into his health. Daemon is also granted 30/40/50 armour and 30/40/50 magic resist while in this form. He uses melee attacks while in this form and gains new abilities. This transformation lasts 13/14/15 seconds per skill level. Cooldown 120/100/80 seconds decreasing per skill point. The demons attack speed also becomes 1.300
Explanation: This is what i meant when i said Daemon becomes a bruiser offtank. When this ability is activated, he goes from being a caster to a heavy powerful offtank. Not only does he gain health, he also receives some nice armour and and magic resist. All of Daemons skills change to accomodate his new form. This ability also allows you to customize how you play Daemon quite a bit. For instance. You can go for the full ap Daemon, making him very powerful and quite healthy in his Demon form, yet squishy but bursty in his Human form. You could in turn build him healthy and slightly less ap based. This would make him last longer in his human form, but hurt his damage output in his demon form. The possibilties are endless with this skill.
Demons Skills. (These skills scale the same as the human counterparts. Much like nidalee's q ranks up in cougar as he q ranks up in human form).
Q: Demonic Swipe The Demon's next auto attack is empowered doing a swining motion striking all enemies infront of the demon in an arc then swinging back damaging them a second time. Cooldown 2 seconds. ( The damage for this skill is based of his attack damage and also has a low base damage increasing per skill point in his Q).
Explanation. This is the demons spamming bread and butter skill. The base damage scales of the skill points put into his Q with bonus damage from his Ad. This ability stikes ALL enemies infront of the demon in an arc TWICE. This means that he is a devestating opponent in a teamfight if allowed to get straight in the middle of the enemies.
W: Demonic Blast The Demon shoots out demonic energy infront of him damaging all enemies it encounters. This shot does 200/250/300/350/400 damage. This ability only has base damage and does not scale of anything. Cooldown 5 seconds.
Explanation: This is the Demons finisher and poke spell. It has a fairy long range (The size of a full length nidalee spear.) and ignores unit collition. It damages both minions and enemies much like a lux lasor. and will hit everything in its path of destruction.
E: Crushing Spin The demon spins around damaging all enemies around him. This scales of The Demons attack damage and has a base damage of 100/130/160/190/220. The ad ration is 0.5. Cooldown 6 seconds.
Explanation: This is the move you use in a teamfight to crush the enemy team. It has fairly high damage and is best used straight after transforming because of it's high cooldown compared to how long you can be in demon form for.
R: HumonicTransformation The Demon damages all enemies around him (twice the range of Crushing Spin) for 300/400/500 true damage and then reverts back to Daemon. This ability does not scale of anything. Cooldown Non existent.
Explanation: This is the ability used when about to convert back to human form from the timer anyway. It does a high amount of damage however if used to early, you may be losing damage that the demon could do. This means you need to time this skill perfectly to maximize damage output.
LORE: Daemon was a young boy on the verges of Noxus. He cared not for wars and was content living with his father and younger brother His mother died a few years ago of a disease which even the most famous doctors in Noxus didn't know how to cure. He had been reading on demonology since the age of 5. This was unaware to his father. His younger brother however shared his interest. They were intrigued by the writing of demonology and the way it worked. They really never cared to try it out or practice it however. Daemon lived a carefree life mostly and planned to live in that house for the rest of his life. This was not the case however...
One day a demacian showed up at Daemons doorstep Demanding they evacuate the area, this place was to become a warzone for a demacian and noxian war. Daemon's father said he would never leave the house he and his wife had lived in for so many years. The demacian said he would return in one hour to take the land by force if he did not comply. Daemon's father told the boys to flee to the nearby woods while he dealed with the situation. Daemon and his brother did so fled to the woods. They didn't flee all the way in however. They stood on the verge of the forrest and watched the house. The Hour was up. The demacian returned. Daemons father refused the offer saying he would never leave the house. The demacian was displeased. He dragged the man outside his house. This meant that Daemon and his brother could see it. They saw it all. Outside the front of his own house. The father was beheaded by the demacian. Daemon contained his rage. His brother however couldn't. He charged at the demacian in anger. The demacian didn't think twice before cutting him up into pieces. Daemon wanted to do the same, but was afraid. He fled away carrying only one thing in the bag he took with him from the house. A book of demonology.
After he went inside the forest he layed the book on the floor. He wanted revenge, and he needed power to get it. He casted a spell from the book. The spell summoned the demon himself infront of Daemon. The demon asked why the boy had summoned him. Daemon only uttered one word. "Power". After that was spoken the Demon begun to break into particles. These particles swarmed around Daemon before fusing with the small boy. The boy had the demons powers and strength. This came with a price however. After Daemon dies. He would be sent to niether heaven nor hell. He would belong to the demon. Daemon set of with nothing but revenge in his mind, he wanted nothing more than to rip the heart out of the man that ruined his life. He walked noxus's street looking for clues. He heard a story one day of a demacian general named Garen. He wondered if the demacian general knew anything of the man who murdered his father. Seeking to meet him he walked up to the fields of justices doorsteps.....
Sorry for the long post however i would be happy to know any way to improve Daemon's damage or abilties and i'd like to hear your thoughts on him.
Nidalee's abilities rank up with her ultimate, not with their counterpart ability, you just need the ability unlocked to use it in cougar form.
Giving the ability to go into AD form for 15 seconds is just kind of useless due to you won't want to build any AD for your usual build then, and 1/3 your AP as AD isn't enough to justify it because you'll have no AS/Crit.
The only reason I can see you'd ever use the ultimate for is just when you use all your normal abilities, you could Q, W, E, and then R to revert really fast to use your regular cooldowns again.
Let's head right into it:
Passive: Kinda useless. Good for low skill range pubstomping, useless in any serious game where you will get 6 kills by lategame mb, where 60 AP don't account for much. Most Champion passives are way more useful.
Q: The numbers there are just wrong. 2*50 damage (in case it's possible to hit both) on a 3 sec cooldown right from level 1 is ridiculous even if it's a skillshot. AP ratio is basically 1.4 if you hit both, way too high for 3 secs CD again. On the other hand, base damage scaling is ****ty.
W: Kinda boring in my opinion. I feel like short burst of AP is not really useful. On the other hand, with maxed out CDR, you're granting your champion pretty much permanent 45% movement speed from level 9 (as i feel you should max W with this champ). That's ridonculous OP on a ranged burst character (Nunu W is ridiculously strong even though only 15% movement speed for your AD). On the other hand, it feels uncomfortable having to press this all the time when it's basically designed as base stats.
E: useless in lane. level 1 is 30 damage on a single enemy, in exchange you're locked down for the duration. Much depends on how fast those shots fire. Basically Katarina ult on a basic ability. Doesn'T feel like it matches the kit at all.
R: His ulti transforms him into a useless bruiser without AD-Scaling abilities. On the contrary, his AP-based abilities will do hardly any damage at all since your AP is gone for the duration (or is it?).
In exchange, the bonus in resistances is OP.
Basically, only use of this ever would be to be more tanky during an escape or when being karthus ultied or something.
Conclusion: not balanced at all. All in all probably underpowered, but anyway definetely weird to play.

stencil art styled Tasmanian Tiger
Thylacine ,Tasmanian Tiger or Tasmanian Wolf
A dog sized marsupial carnivore.
Due to bureaucratic bungling and colonial attitudes Thylacines are gone, extinct for 50 years. Fingers crossed the Tasmanian Devil doesn't follow them into extinction in the next few years.
hear hear….
Thanks Maree.
– Richard Morden
I do love this guy, but that's nothing new. Today, February 29, is, according to Google, Rossini's birthday, & this particular Thylacine seems to be honoring him with an aria.
Laaaaa… it does look a bit like it is singing! I thought it was just yawning, but your suggestion is much more fun. Thanks Sheila . R :)
– Richard Morden
Now THIS is the kind of t-shirt I like to see! Good art that isn't piggybacking on popular TV shows or movies. Or played-out memes, for that matter.
Fine work, good sir. Love it love it love it!
Thanks so much Thur – glad you like it.

This one's rad, reminds me of my dog hehe
Thanks Helena. First time anyone has called my art rad. I like it – especially coming from a fellow illustrator!
Your drawings and paintings are the bomb.

How Do You Get a Handle on Your Inventory?Wednesday, November 28th, 2012
Inventory management can have a very direct impact not only on your profit but also the cash flow of your business. Inaccurate inventory will directly affect your business profit. If the inventory is too high, you may be paying tax on higher profits than you actually have. If it is too low, you run the risk of understating taxable income and, if audited, the IRS can hit you with back taxes and penalties. (more…)
