Danger: May Cause An Uncontrollable Urge for Ice Cream
"Mom, I'm being all patient here, but if you don't finish taking that picture soon I'm just going to dig in and eat all of that anyway," Jake bounced on the edge of his seat, spoon in hand.
5 minutes later he was licking the bottom of the sundae dish.
"Now THAT," (lick, lick) was the VERY best sundae that I have EVER eaten in my LIFE."
(psst...it's apricot syrup, Breyer's vanilla ice cream, and fresh berries from the farmer's market)

Put desktop power wherever you need it with Giada's MI-HM65T Mini ITX motherboard
– Versatility, performance and durability, all in a very compact package –
April 19, 2012, Shenzhen, China – The versatile new MI-HM65T Mini ITX motherboard from Giada is at home in all environments, including the factory floor, tough monitoring and control applications, embedded computing, office desks, and the home. Built around Intel's HM65 chipset and the Sandy Bridge platform, this motherboard brings users high performance and almost unlimited connectivity, with economical power consumption. It offers all the industry-standard features of a desktop PC in a tiny package, to support a wide range of applications.
Powered by Intel's fast Core i7, i5, i3 or Celeron 867 CPUs, supported by up to 4GB of memory, with onboard integrated graphics and video support, the Giada MI-HM65T can easily take care of almost any task you throw at it. This tough but tiny powerhouse handles industrial control, monitoring and automation applications as well as office and productivity, or home entertainment.
For industrial control and automation applications, the MI-HM65T offers solid reliability and full compatibility with key industry standards, with a 24-bit LVDS connector and a COM header to ensure support for legacy hardware. The board features a low-profile mini-ITX backplate, only 25 mm high, to help save space.
This motherboard still packs in a host of expandability options, despite its tiny dimensions. There are two Mini PCIe slots. One can support a WiFi and/or Bluetooth card while the other allows users to add a mSATA or a high-speed internal SSD drive. The reliability and durability of an internal SSD drive is perfect for challenging operating environments where dust or vibration might make traditional hard disk drives unsuitable, such as factory floor or external digital signage – as well as offering enhanced performance and lower power consumption for everyday applications.
For data storage, there are also sockets to connect up to 3 SATA storage devices, such as hard disk drives, SSDs, and CD/DVD/BD optical drives. These can include two of the latest high speed SATA 3.0 drives, with data transfer speeds up to 6.0 Gb per second, and as well as the additional mSATA drive. There are two SO-DIMM memory slots for up to 4GB of speedy 1066MHz or 1333MHz DDR3 DRAM.
There are six fast USB 2.0/1.1 connectors, 4 on board and 2 on the back panel. These can be used to connect devices such as keyboards, mice, printers, and cameras. USB can also be used to supplement the internal SATA disk drives with additional removable mobile storage for backup purposes, mass data transfer, or storing video, photos, and audio. The MI-HM65T supports Gigabit LAN for connection to a high speed network.
In the home and office, the compact, low profile, 17cm square Mini ITX format makes this the ideal heart of a PC that's tiny enough to hide away in almost any available space on a shelf or desktop, while still being more than powerful enough for standard applications – like home theater, entertainment, multimedia server, internet and email, and office tasks. Its capabilities also make it a good choice for dedicated embedded applications such as Smart TV or set top box.
The MI-HM65T has graphics support integrated on board, with HDMI and VGA video outputs. The 24-bit LVDS interface allows for direct LCD panel control, and other standard industrial applications. The board also offers vivid 5.1 channel surround sound from the ALC662 audio interface, with a digital output S/PDIF connector for unimpaired audio quality even in environments with high EMI levels.
System assemblers and DIY PC builders will also be delighted with the MI-HM65T as the heart of a compact and economical but reliable and expandable system.
The MI-HM65T provides superior performance while keeping operating costs very low. Shenzhen JieHe is very happy to be bringing this extremely versatile new mini-PC to the worldwide market. The company welcomes inquiries from new and existing customers throughout the world.

Two-State Search for Body of Missing Teacher Sherry Arnold
ABC Digital
Updated at
(SIDNEY, Mont.) — Land owners in Montana and North Dakota are searching their properties, looking for the body of missing Montana teacher Sherry Arnold.
The farmers and ranchers in these remote areas were asked by the FBI to check for disturbed soil or grass near vacant farms.
Investigators are saying that Arnold could be buried in a "shelter belt," rows of trees planted alongside farmland to protect the soil from wind.
"Property owners who discover something unusual are asked not to disturb the site and immediately contact the Williams County Law Enforcement Center," the FBI said in a statement.
Arnold, 43, a married mother of two and stepmother of three, disappeared on Jan. 7 around 6:30 a.m. while jogging near her home in Sidney, Mont. A single running shoe was the only trace left behind.
Two Colorado men are being held in connection to Arnold's disappearance. The men are Lester Vann Waters Jr., 47, and Michael Keith Spell, 22.
The two men are in the Williams County Correctional Center in Williston, N.D., as they await extradition to Montana.
Waters and Spell have been charged with aggravated kidnapping. The case is now a federal case because investigators believe Arnold was kidnapped from her hometown of Sidney, Mont., and taken across state lines.
The two men were taken into custody on Friday, but officials have released very few details about what led them to the men or the conclusion that Arnold is dead.
Sidney Mayor Bret Smelser said the tight-knit town is in shock.
"We're grieving," Smelser said. "We've got to get through that process. We've got to get through the closure."
Arnold's family is hoping to find Arnold so they can move closer to gaining some closure.
"We pray that we can find Sherry. We want it to be done," the Arnold family told "Good Morning America."
Sidney, a small town of roughly 5,000 people, has experienced an influx of out-of-town oil workers following the Bakken oil boom in North Dakota. Crime rates in the area have also swelled, with a rise in bar fights, domestic violence and drunk driving.

Biography of Carl (Karl), George, Roy and Kasper Koberstein as reveled in the Clatskanie Journal newspaper covering the time 1950-1953.
Here is a map of where Clatskanie, Oregon is.
The first entry is June 9, 1950 and shows visits by Marie Pritchard to siblings Mrs. Fred, George and Roy.
These are all children of Kasper and Anna (Doerr) Koberstein. Kasper was born June 16 1860 in Voelkesleir, Bavaria, Germany. Anna was born August 10, 1873 in Oberliessen, Darmstadt, Germany. They had nine children.
Maria Johanna KOBERSTEIN was born 23 May 1908 in Oregon. She died 2 18 May 1996 in Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California. Maria married PRICHARD.
Anne Elizabeth KOBERSTEIN was born 1 about 1894 in Oregon. Anne married Thomas WEBB. Thomas was born about 1891 in California. They had the following children: Jean C. WEBB was born 1 about 1918 in Oregon.
I assume that Mrs. Fred Grannis is Rose Eva KOBERSTEIN, born 1 about 1903 in Oregon. There is a record for a Fred L. Grannis (Social Security Nunber: 542-36-1053) with a last Residence of 97016 Clatskanie, Columbia, Oregon, United States of America, who was born: 4 Feb 1899 and died: 18 Mar 1990. The wife name is not give so no connection can be made to a daughter of Kasper.
The 1930 United States Federal Census gives a Fred Grannis with his home in 1930 given as Clatskanie, Columbia, Oregon. His age is given as 31 (birth year about 1899 at Minnesota. The wife is indicated as Rose (28 years old for a birth year of about 1902 at Oregon).
The other two sister are Eva Marie KOBERSTEIN, born about 1906 in Oregon and Elizabeth Anna KOBERSTEIN "Eliza", born 5 Jul 1905 in Oregon who died 5 Apr 1990.
George Kasper KOBERSTEIN was born 19 Nov 1896 in Oregon. He died 4 6 Aug 1976 in , Multonomah, Oregon. George married Marie J. who was born about 1909 in Oregon
Leroy Joseph Adolf KOBERSTEIN was born 1 18 Sep 1917 in Oregon. He died 9 Nov 1999 in Oregon. Leroy married Alline BROCK in 1951 in Oregon. Alline was born 16 Jul 1916 in West Virginia. She died 29 Nov 1984 in Clackamas, Oregon.
A newspaper article in the Oregonian, The (Portland, OR) - November 18, 1999. states that "LeRoy A. Koberstein died Nov. 9, 1999, at age 82. A private service will be held. Mr. Koberstein was born Sept. 18, 1917, in Clatskanie. During World War II, he served in the U.S. Army Air Forces in the Pacific. A watchmaker, he owned Roy's Watch Shop in Hillsdale for about 30 years before retiring in the early 1980s. In 1951, he married Alline Brock; she died in 1984. Survivors include his sister, Eva Bryant of Battle Ground, Wash.; and sister-in-law, Eula of Portland. Interment is in Maplewood Cemetery in Clatskanie. The family suggests remembrances to the American Lung Association of Oregon. Arrangements are by Portland Funeral Alternatives."
John Otto KOBERSTEIN was born 9 May 1910 in Oregon. He died 22 Sep 1985 in Multnomah county Oregon and was buried 4 Oct 1985 in Willamette National Cemetery, Portland, Multnomah, Oregon. John married Eula B. BROCK. Eula was born 1921. Eula B. is listed in the 1998 Oregon Phone Directory at 14504 NE Rose Pkwy, Portland, OR 97230-3743, (503)254-3411 but the 1994 and 2002 Oregon Phone Directory at 4111 NE 132nd Ave.
The records I have don't show any connection between John and Roy to Seattle. This article is the first connection indicating they bought a jewelry store there. However, Roy's connection to a watch shop shows he has the professional connection to jewelry.
The last child not mentioned in this article is Carl "Karl" Henry KOBERSTEIN who was born 16 Dec 1899 in Oregon. He died 23 Oct 1981 in Orange county California. Perhaps he stayed in California during this visit.
|The Clatskanie Chief dated June 9, 1950 lists Mrs. Marie Pritchard and daughter Jeanne visiting from Los Angeles with family.
|The next article is dated August 24, 1951 and is about the death of Carl O. Anderson. He is listed as working for Kasper Koberstein and later buying him out.
|The next entry (August 31, 1951) records another visit.
Apparently Anna was still living in Clatskanie while Roy and George were in Oswego now.
|Here is another article from July 18, 1952.
Carl is now in San Francisco and Elizabeth from Portland but George has moved back to Clatskanie.
|This August 29, 1952 entry show George traveling to St. Helens. St. Helens
is about 32 miles south east along the Columbia river towards Portland.
It also documents a death of Harold Bristow a cousin of Anna, George and Rose (Mrs. F. L. Grannis).
|In the October 24, 1952 edition George was recorded as a visitor to Rose city. I was unable to locate Rose city on modern maps.
|The July 3, 1953 article is a short obituary for George Koberstein. Of
genealogical interest his birth place is given as Germany and he has one
sister in Germany.
This is obviously not the George spoken of above as a brother to Anna Webb but her uncle, brother to Kasper. However the age of 70 in December 1953 gives a birth year of 1883. George Sr. the uncle was born in 1856. His son, a cousin, was reported as born in January 1880 in the 1900 U.S. Federal Census. I don't know how to reconcile these numbers.
George Senior's sisters Cecelia and Catherine were both in America. The third sister died as a child in Germany. I'm not sure who the sister is mentioned in the obituary. He had two half sisters. Maria was in America, but Antonia was born in Germany and I have no record of her in the United States, this may be the sister referred to in the obituary. George Junior's two sisters were both born in Wisconsin, so that reference doesn't work for him.
|The December 25, 1953 edition notes that George, the brother, was in Portland this week.

Chevrolet Repair Questions? Ask a Chevy Mechanic for Answers ASAP
sorry I am just now getting back to you I went outta town last night. sounds like a voltage regulator, which on this car is built into the altenator. where did you have it checked ?
the only other thing I can think of to tell you to check would be battery connection these side post batteries in these cars are bad about leaking acid and causing a poor connection that will sometimes make the car do crazy stuff but still have good enough connection to crank and run car. Also check the wire connection going from battery to the altenator. do you know if this is the original altenator ? also how many miles are on this van ?
well I do not know what else to tell you if your battery and altenator test good, other than it may just be a cheap quality altenator and its testing good but is on its way to going bad. sorry I can't guide you any further, but as of now I would say i agree with your husband on the altenator theory. Hope I have helped some what.
well I finally found something that relates to your problem hope this helps this is a GM bulletin (common problem)
ConditionSome customers may comment that the interior and/or the exterior lamps vary in intensity (flicker).CorrectionReplace the voltage regulator attaching screw with the screw and washer from the service kit following the procedure outlined below.Disconnect the battery cable. Remove the wiper module cover (U-Van). Remove the voltage regulator ground screw (1).

text: Firstly, our weakness finally killed us. I've been bitching about him all year. Todd Boeckman, our QB. He was the bane of our team all year. Everyone told me he is great and that I am too harsh. Yet every game I got two or more "I told you so" moments. Hell, in the MI State game he single handedly gave up 14 points in under 1 minute of game clock (fumble followed by an INT, both returned for TD's). Yesterday, 3 picks, one IN the endzone, one stupidly into double coverage driving down for the tie near the end of the game. And ESPN is putting him in Heisman talk? WTF. What is different from the 2002 National Championship team? Also a great defense with a sucky QB. OUR DEFENSE SCORED ON A REGULAR BASIS. In some games, our defense outscored the offense. Sadly, the 2007 defense isn't that good. For those who watched the game, admit we got screwed on IL's first TD - that was clearly a fumble and I have NO IDEA why it was not reviewed!!!!! /anger Kudos to Juice Williams, proving everyone wrong who said he can not throw. because he threw all over us! we clearly were not prepared for that. IlliniJen, you're my new nemesis, my arch rival, a super villain, my opponent, the bane of my existence. Well I said ALL year OSU was a one loss team. I NEVER changed that predicition. I hope we beat MI and go to the Rose Bowl.

TORRINGTON >> Torrington High School All-State pitcher Sydney Matzko turned in her first no-hitter of the season against a feisty young Crosby team (0-5) Friday afternoon while Red Raider hitters continued to show improvement over last year.
The combination produced a mercy-rule 16-1 Torrington win in five innings for the 5-0 defending NVL champions.
Photos: Torrington 16 Crosby 1 (5)
Still, the Bulldogs were a bit of a surprise.
"They were scrappy," said Matzko, who struck out the first seven batters she faced, with just one pitch called for a ball, then watched the Bulldogs' grit come out.
"We lost eight seniors last year, so we're playing five freshmen and just one returning senior," said first-year Bulldog coach John O'Toole. "We're growing every day. We made contact today. We're going to win plenty of games."
With one down in the top of the third, Crosby junior Terrah Harris lay down a great bunt, then got to second on a throwing error to first. Yasirys Castillo, Crosby's No. 9 hitter, got her bat on a pitch for a ground-out to second, sending Harris to third, two outs.
Lead-off hitter Brittany Balek followed with a fly to short left field, in-and-out of Alexa Potter's glove at shoe-top level. The run scored. A final decision ruled in Matzko's favor for an error and her first no-hitter.
On her way to 12 strikeouts in five innings, Matzko allowed fair-ball contact just two more times — to Nej Kora on a comebacker to the mound in the fourth and Emilyh Lago's line drive to shortstop Sam Pelow in the fifth.
It's a shout-out to Matzko's success that contact with her pitches is an appropriate point of pride for most teams. Heading for Division I North Carolina next year, she's 100 strikeouts away from a career 1,000, with an even 60 so far this season.
Meanwhile, the hits keep coming for her Red Raider teammates.
Bulldog senior pitcher Balek (4.2 innings, 12 earned runs, 14 hits, 4 strikeouts, 4 walks) is part of Crosby's feistiness, from the mound.
Nevertheless, senior Nikki Jamieson (3-for-3, double, 3 runs) and junior Brittany Anderson (3 runs) started the Raider game big with a leadoff single and home run in the bottom of the first. A single by Marissa Morris (3-for-4, double, 4 RBI) and a double by Alexa Potter (2-for-2, 2 doubles, 2 RBI) led to two more runs.
Holding this year's Torrington team to four runs in the first and none in the second is akin to making contact with a Matzko pitch.
In either case, the tendency for Matzko and the Raiders is to bear down. For Matzko, more strikeouts.
"I try to strike them out, but I'm also working on my pitches and trying to get them better," she said.
For the hitters, it can lead to big innings like Torrington's third and fourth.
Five runs in the third came from doubles by Potter and Alexis Tyrell (2-for-4, triple, 2 RBI), singles by Jamieson and Morris and two Bulldog errors.
Pelow (3 runs) and Sara Heath (3 runs) started the fourth with a single and two-run homer. Then two walks and doubles by Jamieson and Morris, plus a wild pitch, produced three more runs.
Ahead 14-1 after four, the Raiders needed just two more in the fifth for a mercy-rule win.
The Bulldogs were still scrapping.
Pelow reached first on an error, then second on a ground-out to first. A ground-out to second pushed her to third, two outs.
Dakotah Manson singled her in for one run.
The 15-run margin for the rule is iron-clad. Friday, it cheated Tyrell out of her first varsity home run.
The freshman bashed her hit through the left center field gap. Manson came in for the 16th run, ending the game. Tyrell's homer turned into a triple.
There's lots of season left for Matzko strikeouts and Tyrell homers.
That also applies to wins for the feisty Bulldogs.

The college football season is drawing near, with less than three months between now and the first game of the 2014 season on August 27. So it's only appropriate that bowl projections begin now, right?
Sporting News' Bill Bender certainly believed so, unveiling his predictions Monday to much debate. Here are his projections for each of the FBS-level Florida Schools with a little analysis for each matchup:
AutoZone Liberty Bowl: Florida vs. TCU
The Gators are coming off their first season without a bowl appearance since 1986. This season, however, Florida is primed to return to their place among college football's premier programs in the ever-competitive SEC. The Gators are currently ranked No. 22 by ESPN's Preseason Power Index Rating; TCU is ranked 36th.
Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl: Miami vs. South Carolina
They may be having trouble filling the stadium, but Miami still does a great job of bringing in top football talent from around the country. 2014 should be no different, putting them in position for a certain bowl bid. Bender's projection of South Carolina presents an intriguing opponent as it's tough to pinpoint what the Gamecocks will be post-Jadeveon Clowney. Steve Spurrier's teams are always competitive, though, and could provide an exciting challenge for the Hurricanes.
Orange Bowl: Central Florida vs. Notre Dame
Could another strong year be ahead for UCF? Bender certainly thinks so. While they may not be competing for a shot at the National Championship, a spot in the Orange Bowl is still a very big deal. With Blake Bortles and Storm Johnson gone, there are major questions to be answered regarding their offense. However, George O'Leary is an underrated head football coach who has done a phenomenal job building UCF into a respectable program. He'll have his team ready to contend in the American Athletic Conference.
Sugar Bowl (Playoff Semifinal): Florida State vs. Oregon
The defending National Champion Seminoles are legitimate contenders to repeat in 2014, and Bender's projections show he believes that to be the case as well. However, he has them falling short to Oregon in the College Football Playoff Semifinals at the Sugar Bowl. Should we get this matchup, it will be a blessing for college football fans with high-powered offensive play led by two top NFL prospects at the quarterback position in FSU's Jameis Winston and Oregon's Marcus Mariota.

Chris Christman, a 38-year Danville resident and retired Marine Corps officer and insurance agent, has been walking around the lake for almost four years, finding it enjoyable exercise. But lately Christman feels that geese have been taking over the park and leaving their excrement as proof. He also said it looks like the geese are keeping the ducks to one corner.
"The concrete around the lake is completely covered with droppings," he said. His walking route would be friendlier if he could walk freely without "stepping in something," he noted.
On his daily walks Christman likes to bring his daughter's pug, Guinness. But his daughter is leery of her dog walking on mess left by the geese.
The geese and the ducks are attracted to the Oak Hill site on Stone Valley Road because of the water, grass and easy access to food. The feeding is what makes some of the birds stay all year instead of continuing on their migratory path.
"If the waterfowl do not have to migrate to find food then they won't," said Jed Johnson, maintenance services manager for the Town of Danville. "Therefore the waterfowl population goes up, the feces from them increases, and the waterfowl become very aggressive."
The bread that people feed the birds has no nutritional value for them and much of it doesn't get eaten, said Johnson.
The leftovers attract rodents and further dirty the park.
White signs with a bold heading of "Important Notice" are posted at the park to explain why people should not feed the waterfowl, but many do not read the signs so don't know it's bad for them.
Although feeding the geese and ducks is discouraged, it is not illegal in Danville and remains a popular activity around the lake. The town contracts with a company called GooseBusters to help keep down the goose population at Oak Hill.
Janice Scott, owner of GooseBusters, mostly uses border collies to chase geese away. The geese see the collies as "faux predators" and fly away or go into the water where the dogs swim after them, but the geese are not harmed.
"Feeding the birds keeps them here and it isn't good for them," Scott said. "It's how, I like ice cream, but I don't need it. Bread is not something they would get in the wild, and wild animals are supposed to find their own food."
The goal of GooseBusters is not to get the birds to leave but to spend less time at the park, leading to less excrement. One goose produces 1 to 2 pounds of droppings a day, said Scott.
Another control measure is egg addling, applying mineral or vegetable oil to the outside of goose eggs, which blocks the pores to prevent air getting to the fetus. The mother goose still continues to sit on her eggs for the five-to-six-week gestation period. Mentally she feels that she has nested for the year, but no goslings are born.
Five to seven eggs is the average nest size and even with a 50 percent mortality rate two to four goslings can be born to a mother once a year.
In the past, the park had to apply for a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to practice egg addling. But two years ago the federal government labeled geese that didn't migrate between certain dates "urban geese," so they are not protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
Migratory patterns change based on many factors, such as weather, making it hard to decipher between the two groups. This causes some towns such as Danville to "err on the side of caution," explained Scott, and not practice egg addling.
But the newborn population has not been a problem, Johnson said, so Danville has not needed to apply for such a permit.
Yet, Christman recalls seeing one mother with 11 goslings. He said there are currently more geese and more mess than ever. He recently counted more than 100 geese in one afternoon.
Scott attributes the increase in population to food availability, weather patterns, loss of predators and not practicing egg addling. But, she added, "There are a lot of reasons."
"Urbanites" is the name for people who do not have the knowledge to interact with wild life in a good way, and they are the ones who feed the geese, said Sandy Ferreira, park ranger and clean water educator for Fremont, where it is illegal to feed the waterfowl.
She helped lead Fremont's comprehensive plan to control the goose population at its popular Lake Elizabeth. One part of the plan is educational: Rangers pass out informative pamphlets to potential feeders and ask them to throw away any food they brought.
"Education is paramount," she said. "Public contact is primary for enforcing the ordinance. Almost everyone complies once you educate them."
Ferreira's efforts began in 1991 following an avian cholera outbreak. Many geese perished that suffered from poor nutrition as a result of people feeding them moldy food, which had made them more susceptible to disease. After one goose gets infected with the bacteria it easily spreads among the others.
"We are using the most humane and effective means at this point to deal with this issue," said Johnson. "If more serious issues evolve, then we will address those accordingly."

Why is a technology that is supposed to involve more of your body than just your thumbs considered crap? I've enjoyed the Wii with its motion controls. I get to bowl, play tennis and shoot archery with my kids, right there in my living room. Not to mention, I have used the Wii-Fit board a few times. It's not perfect, but at least I'm not sitting on my ass all the time.
Seriously, all this motion control and webcam stuff is crap.
I don't have an XBox 360, but if I did I might consider getting the camera. My kids would probably love all the dancing and other full-body games.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- I feel for General Motors (GM) in this recall mess. Thanks to an overzealous legal system, in which the tiniest mistake gets punished by draconian lawsuits, GM is now recalling almost every single car ever made, in many cases for the flimsiest of reasons.
In the spirit of providing some cheer for the GM's beleaguered management team, I have a proposal for how GM could spin out one of its factories for a market cap of $400 billion, basically almost eight times its current $50-something billion market cap. Follow me on this one!
>>What Experts Expect from a Fed Rate Hike in Early '15
I got the idea from an article over the weekend, published in Dallas Morning News, which had a report from GM's large SUV factory. It's about the factory that produces GM's large SUVs with nameplates such as Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon and Escalade. A new model series just went into production in early 2014.
Here are the characteristics of this GM business unit, located in Texas:
-- 1,200 vehicles are produced per day, six days a week, sometimes seven days a week.
-- The factory is running at least 24x6 for 144 hours per week.
-- That's basically approaching 400,000 vehicles per year.
-- Yukon model sales growth was 136% in April and 42% in May.
-- Days on dealer lots are among the shortest of any car in the market today -- 10 days for Suburban and 17 days for Tahoe.
-- Most popular model starts at $63,000. A typical transaction price could be over $70,000.
Think about these numbers for a moment. A factory producing cars at essentially 100% capacity, sales growing deep into the double digit percentages, near-zero inventories.
Sounds like Tesla (TSLA), doesn't it?

Early Never Let Me Go reviews: It's powerful, but maybe a bit dull
Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go is one of the most acclaimed novels of the past decade. But how does the new movie hold up? Early reviews are divided, some praising the film's subtlety, others calling it soulless and boring.

Currently recognized as the best in the 140lb division, WBA/IBF champ Amir Khan (26-1, 18KOs) will be taking on dangerous up and comer Lamont Peterson(29-1, 15KOs) on HBO's BAD telecast this coming Saturday. The fight will take place in Peterson's hometown of Washington D.C.
Khan has been tearing his way through the Jr. Welterweight division as of late disposing of former world class talent such as Zab Judah while impressively surviving but more importantly beating the all out brawler known as Marcos Maidana. I received an opportunity to speak with him Amir today and topics ranged from training partner Manny Pacquaio's recent controversial clash with Juan Manuel Marquez to facing the other man considered to be the best in the division, Timothy Bradley.
CraveOnline: How has this training camp gone for you?
Amir Khan: Training camp has been well. It's been long, it's been tough. It's been ten weeks in total and I'm just glad this is the last week now. There's only a few days left. It's been well, all the hard work has been done. It's just about making weight now and keeping focused on the fight.
CraveOnline: This Saturday you'll be facing Lamont Peterson. What do you think are some of his best assets as a boxer?
Amir Khan: He's tall, he's tight. He's got a good jab on him. He's quick but he's not as fast as me. Apparently he's heavy handed. He can fight on the inside, he can fight on the outside. He can move around. I mean yeah he's got the full package but he's lost to the best in my opinion in the division and people seem to ignore the fights he's had before that he won. He drew against Ortiz. He's lost against Bradley who was considered number one. You know I think he's going to be my toughest test yet.
CraveOnline: Some fighters succumb to the pressure of performing in their hometown. Do you feel you have an advantage since Peterson will be doing so on Saturday night?
Amir Khan: Yeah , I mean for the first time he's going to be fighting on top of the bill on the big stage. Especially in his hometown he has a chance to win two world titles and he's going to have all of his fans there, family there, friend there and this is his chance. He's not going to get a better chance to win a world title in his hometown. I had the opportunity a few years ago and I done it quite well because I had that experience fighting in front of a big crowd. But I think he might crack under the pressure. Especially when he doesn't know what to do and he gets hit by punches he doesn't see and combinations and he can't catch me. I think he's going to feel the pressure and he might crack. That's why I have to take advantage of it.
CraveOnline: Did you spar with Manny Pacquaio for this fight in particular?
Amir Khan: Not for this fight. Manny's a southpaw and he's quite short as well. Peterson's orthodox and he's tall. My style is similar to Marquez's so it made sense for Manny to spar me for Marquez. But for me it didn't make sense to get prepared for Peterson so we didn't spar.
CraveOnline: Speaking of Manny and Marquez, I'd like to get your take on that fight. Do you think Manny deserved the decision he was awarded and were you surprised by Marquez's performance?
Amir Khan: A lot of people expected Manny to knockout Marquez. We all did to be honest with you especially after what Mayweather did to Marquez. When Marquez performed really well it was a surprise to a lot of people. I was surprised how well Marquez did but you always have that one fighter who knows you too well and it's going to take that extra edge, that extra push just to beat him. It was a very close fight. When I watched the fight again on HBO I think Pacquaio won it comfortably by one or two rounds but in the arena it did look like Marquez put a bit more effort in and might have eeked it.
CraveOnline: In my opinion you are the premier fighter at 140. When can we expect to see Amir Khan at 147?
Amir Khan: I know myself as well that I'm the best in the 140 division.I'm the unified champion. Bradley don't want to fight me. Morales said no. Marquez said no. So there's not that many people left to fight. I've already faced six or seven fighters in the top ten and beaten them comfortably. People are asking for the Maidana rematch and I've already beaten him. I wanna fight Bradley. I wanna fight Marquez. I wanna fight Morales. I want the belts. If they keep saying no I might have to move up for my next fight and look at the likes of Berto, Ortiz. You got Mayweather, Mosley and guys like that.
CraveOnline: Who would you like to face next if you get past Peterson?
Amir Khan: If I get past Peterson I want Timothy Bradley. He's got the other title. He's been mouthing off a lot. He spoiled my chance to become the undisputed champion by not taking the fight and he was stripped of the WBC. So I want the belt. If Morales has got the WBC, I want to fight Morales next but if they both say no I cannot do anything and just move up. The winner of Berto and Ortiz looks like a good fight for me but even at 147 I think Marquez would be a really good fight. I'd probably want one fight before I fight Mayweather in the 147 pound division.
CraveOnline: What do you envision for yourself in the next five years?
Amir Khan: I'm going to be retired in the next five years hopefully. I just turned twenty-five today.
CraveOnline: Happy birthday.
Amir Khan: Thanks man. I've always said I'd retire around the age of twenty-eight. I don't wanna stay to long in the sport once I've accomplished everything and achieve what I want to achieve. I want to leave the sport the same way I got into the sport. I've been fighting three or four times a year. Last year it was only two fights, it wasn't very busy because some fights don't go through. This year I fought a few times. Next year I want to fight a few times and then the next couple of years probably a couple of times each against the pound for pound best fighters in the world. My dream was to become a world champion, I've become a world champion. I want to win more belts in more divisions but my ultimate dream is to become pound for pound champion of the world and the only way to do that is by beating the best.
CraveOnline: What will happen on Saturday night?
Amir Khan: I'm glad to be boxing back in Washington. It's going to be a full house. Peterson is going to have his fans there but the way I've been going around Washington, the amount of people that have been taking pictures and stopping me that are attending the fight, I think I might have as many fans as Peterson at the arena so that's going to be a big surprise for him. I want to put on a show. People expect me to win this fight. It's going to be a very tough fight. My hardest test yet but when I go in that arena I want to beat him and beat him in style. I want to make sure Washington doesn't forget this fight on Saturday night. I need to make a big statement. I think this is one of the last fights of the year and I wanna finish the year off with a big bang just like I did last year with the Maidana fight. I'm going out there to impress. I'm not going out there to just take time and throw a few punches and win the fight comfortably. I want to go and try to knock this guy out.
Amir Khan will be facing Lamont Peterson live on HBO's Boxing After Dark this Saturday night.

My Little Darlings, Part 2
Many people have been anticipating Part 2 but it may have things some people may find offensive please re-read the "story codes" before reading. If none of that offends you please, enjoy. Emails are welcome.
I woke up to Snowflake and Jack whimpering at the door, I sat up slowly, trying not to wake up Kayleigh. "Shh Jackie, Snowy , I'll get you out soon enough.." I said quietly to my puppies. I grabbed Snowflake's leash from the key-rack by the door, Putting it on his collar, then doing the same to Jack and opening the door, taking them outside to do there "Business".. Soon enough they were done and we were back inside the house and I looked at the clock and saw what time it was 2:30PM..
I peeked into the living room to see if Kayleigh was still asleep- She wasn't. She had her little cute legs dangling from the side of the couch, watching TV. "Kayleigh, darling what do you want for lunch?" I asked "Mm, a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich please Mommy!" She replied. "Mmkay, I'll call you in here in a few"..While I was making the PB&J I thought about a few hours before, with Kayleigh's little tongue doing magical things to my clit, and I was aroused-again. I finished making Kayleigh's and I's sandwiches, calling her into the kitchen. She pranced into the kitchen like a cute little kitten. We ate and chatted a bit, about nothing of importance, when were done it was close to 3:00-
Almost time to get Grace off the bus! I hurried to get dressed, grabbed my keys and unlocked the door re-locking it behind me, then hurried off to the bus stop to wait a few minutes for the bus. About 3:10 the bus came, she ran off the bus and hugged me saying "Hi Mommy! How are you? I missed you." "We've been doing well today, how was school?" I asked. "I didn't get into any trouble but one of the boys was mean and cut in line at lunch."she said with a twinge of anger in her voice. "Well some boys can be mean but, Maybe we can go to the park later on today since you did good at school." "Okies Mommy"
She followed me into our yard going up the steps to our house I slowly unlocked the door and pushed it open, walking into the kitchen and then into the living room where, I sure did get a good surprise that made me sooo horny. Kayleigh was lying on the floor with her little legs and pussy lips open with Jack sitting between them Licking her little clit, Her tiny moans were so sexy, almost instantly I was dripping from hornyness, so I looked over at Grace and she seemed almost as horny as I, she had even stuck her fingers up her mini-skirt playing with her little pussy, now dripping as much as mine.
Kayleigh then looked over to me and said "Mommy, I want Jack inside of me.." "I'm sorry darling, but you aren't big enough for him yet, but he can still lick you for awhile if you want."I said. "But pleeeaseee Mommy I can take the head of daddy's cock with out it hurting!" "Yes, but a dog cock is a lot different then your daddy's cock, Jack has to put all of him inside of you, not just a little bit." I said. "So, what? Mommy, I can take him!" "No! Kay, Your sister has been practicing for a long time and is much older then you, but I promise when you get old enough and are big enough for him you can have him inside of you." Kayleigh then had a look of annoyance on her face which quickly turned to a look of pleasure as Jack continued licking her dripping wet three year old pussy, letting out sweet little moans.
I then turned to Grace and knelt down, kissing Her cheek and asking her if I could take off her clothes. "Mm, that sounds nice Mommy!" She replied as she continued working her little nub of a clit under her skirt. I slowly unbuttoned her little pink and white striped button-up shirt, Kissing and sucking on her little nipples making them become hard and erect in my mouth as she giggled and moaned slightly. After a few moments I then pulled her top fully off, throwing it to the ground, next working on her little pink skirt, sliding it down her hips rubbing her butt and kissing her little belly. I tossed the skirt away too, and continued in the taking the clothes off. I then pulled her little princess panties down over her hips, brushing on her swollen pussy lips on the way down making her moan and push her hips forward.
I then asked if she would like me to lick her little Pee-Pee. "Yes momma! I would loooovee that. Watching Kayleigh get her little Pee-Pee licked by Jack is making me sooo wet down there..!" "Well then lie down on your back like Kayleigh and I'll lick your little Pee-Pee." "okay!!" She said excitedly as she lied her cute little body down on the floor in-front of me, making me moan in pleasure at how hot her little body was, her little perky pink nipples, Her hot swollen red pussy, her beautiful Blue eyes and curly brown hair. I lied on my belly in-front of her, smelling her wonderful aroma, licking my lips, I stuck my tongue gently into her little folds, making her gasp in pleasure. I wiggled my tongue around on her clit fast making her squirm and grab a hold of my long brown hair, she seemed to be peaking quickly so I licked faster a few strokes of my tongue later she was cumming on my tongue--hard. Her juices were so wonderful and warm on my tongue, like honey, but better.
I rubbed some of my juices on my fingers and rubbed them on her hole, making it even wetter. I slowly slid my finger into her wanting pussy, feeling a slight resistance to my finger but as she relaxed more I was able to get two fingers in, making her moan loudly in delight. "Oh Mom that feels so good! Deeper please!!!!" I did as she wished and slid my fingers in a little deeper, slowly pulling them in and out feeling her little juices coat my fingers, but suddenly I felt something wet, large and big against my pussy, I looked behind me, wondering what it was, seeing Snowflake's large tongue lapping at my pussy and his large 8" cock hanging long and hard against him, I moaned and went back to licking my little girl, spreading my legs open wider so Snowy could do as he wished. I finger-fucked Grace harder making her scream my name in pleasure and start squirting her warm little girl juices all down my arm.
Then I looked over and noticed Jack trying to hump Kayleigh but failing miserably at trying to get inside of her tight pussy. Kayleigh then asked "Grace, Would you like to take Jack since I can't?" "Can I, Mommy?" Grace asked. "Sure! As long as Kayleigh lets me lick her little Pee-Pee instead". "Ooh, yes please Mommy, can you please lick me like you did this morning?" Kayleigh said. "Sure baby, just let me help Gracie get Jack into her Pee-Pee!" I replied.. Scooting over so Jack could get positioned as Gracie flipped into the "doggiestyle" position, I then helped him guide his doggie cock into little Grace's wet and awaiting pussy. Once he was inside he started humping her little pussy.
I watched for a little bit more letting Snowflake lick me more watching Jack's little doggie knot grow bigger and him shove all of it into Gracie's pussy, making her moan. "Ooh Mommy I feel soo full!". I just nodded in response and tugged Kayleigh over by her cute little legs, making her giggle. "Come here and let Mommy lick your beautiful Pee-Pee Kay!" I said. She giggled and scooted closer, opening her little puffy pink lips for me. I kissed her little tummy, planting kisses all down her belly. Slowly inching down her belly to her little pussy lips, grazing the little hairless lips with my lips, making her shudder with pleasure. I moved to her inner lips, gently licking them with my tongue, making her moan loudly. I gently probed her little clit with my tongue, making her squirm, I shoved my hand into my pussy -around Snow's tongue- and got lots of my juices and then slid my littlest finger slowly into her feeling her little walls clamp around it gently.
I felt the heat in my pussy grow as snow decided he finally wanted to fuck me. He put his paws on either side of my body and shoved his 8" cock into my wanting pussy. Oh did it feel good. It was like heaven. Almost as good as both my little girl's cum, but not quite!. He shoved his big doggy cock into me a few times quickly before knotting inside of me and starting to cum. it felt like an ocean was being released inside of me -SO MUCH CUM!- it felt so good but I just had to have more of Kayleigh's wonderful cum!. I heard Grace moan beside me, so I looked over and watched her get fucked. Oh how a wonderful sight that is! I went back to licking and fingering little Kayleigh, she was a ball of passion. She pulled on my hair forcing me to lick her deeper, making her get closer and closer to her wonderful peak, soon she squirted her wonderful juices all over my face, which I licked up gratefully, so sweet and so sticky. I licked all of her little juices up.
Then, I heard a "splish" beside me. As I looked over I saw Jack pulling out of Grace, it was such a hot sight to see all the cum leak out of her fully-fucked, cum soaked little pussy. She moaned as it came out of her, sticking her finger in her pussy and getting some cum on it and licking it off her finger. I moaned at that sight and came hard on snowy's cock. Making a decent amount of his cum slide out of my abused pussy onto the floor. Soon Kayleigh asked "Gracie can I lick some of that doggie cum out of your Pee-Pee, please? You can sit on my face!" "I want Mommy to!" said Grace. "Please can I lick you Grace?" Grace replied. "No!" I then lifted my head off of Kay's little pussy and said between moans "Girls girls!, calm down, Gracie, I can lick you after a bit, before we go to the park, Can't you just let Kayleigh lick all the hot doggie cum out of your nice wet Pee-Pee??" "I guess Mom." Grace said. So Grace came over and reluctantly sat her cum-dripping pussy onto her sister's waiting mouth, It made all three of us moan, all in pleasure and delight. Snowflake pulled out of me soon, apparently finished and he trotted into the other room, the cum splashed out of me like it had been stuck in there forever.
I then asked Grace if she would like to lick some up and she said "Of course Mommy! Doggie cum tastes soo good, and so does your juices. I'd love to lick them out of you!" I stood on the floor above Grace and Kayleigh and let little Grace lick the doggie cum out of my recently fucked pussy and oh my goodness, it felt soo wonderful like someone had turned a switch on inside my pussy. Grace dragged her fingers down her sister's body, putting one of them inside of her little sister, wiggling it around making Kayleigh moan. I pulled her little now cum soaked face further into my waiting pussy making us both moan. I could feel grace licking faster, knowing she was getting close to her peak, and I was too, since I had a beautiful little angel licking my pussy out!. She moaned and squeaked first, me coming not far behind her. Our juices ran down our legs, making us giggle.
I stood up, going back between Kayleigh's legs, wanting her to cum a last time too. I stuck my pinky finger inside of her little wet waiting pussy rubbing her G-spot and licking her little clit fast and hard, it didn't take long for her to have a body-shaking orgasm. I stood up and pulled my little girls onto the couch with me, asking them if they wanted to have a "Mommy meal" they both said in unison "Yes, please" "I am so hungry now" Grace added. we then watched TV with Kayleigh on the left sucking my nipple and Grace on the right sucking my nipple. And Damn did it feel good!

DmC: Devil May Cry takes place in an alternate version of the Devil May Cry universe. A lot of common themes, names and characters from previous games will pop up throughout the story, but the plot is completely new, and the characters are largely redone.
The game opens with Dante, a young and rowdy man, living a high life filled with women and booze, in a modern city called Limbo City. The city, unbeknownst to the population, is controlled by demons under the rule of the demon king Mundus, who is operating in the city in human disguise and going by the name of Kyle Ryder, a ruthless and powerful banker. Mundus' goal is to control humanity through debt. He keeps the population of his city docile and complacent to his goals through three primary means: Raptor News, a corrupt news network which broadcasts propaganda and bias to the population; a grid of security cameras to maintain watch over the streets; and finally, a soft drink called Virility, which is spiked with drugs to dull the mind; a liquid lobotomy, to quote the game.
Dante with his new looks, and companion Kat
You will tell quite early on then, that the game has a heavy political undertone. Government surveillance, the debt crisis and the ignorance (or complacency) of the general population is central to the theme. Since this is a game focused on action, it never really delves too deeply into these subjects beyond pointing them out, but it still makes for an unexpectedly topical plot.
Dante is as unaware of the city's predicament as the rest of the population, and he lives his life from a trailer situated on a pier next to the city's carnival. Mundus, on the other hand, is very much aware of Dante. Dante poses a threat to him and so he sends a hunter demon, a massive ugly beast of a thing, to kill him. A young woman named Kat warns Dante of this a mere seconds before he is discovered by the hunter demon and dragged into Limbo; a mysterious parallel world in which the laws of physics are more like suggestions and which Dante cannot escape from until the hunter demon is destroyed.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) -- The man accused of carrying out a string of sexual assaults in east Bakersfield last summer is tied to the crimes by DNA and clothing evidence, according to a search warrant obtained by Eyewitness News.
Billy Ray Johnson, 33, is accused of sexually assaulting at least four people from July 1 through Aug. 19.
He was arrested on an unrelated gun charge on Oct. 15.
The warrant states that Johnson was "connected to these offenses based on the commonality of the modus operandi in these offenses, as well as DNA evidence."
In each assault, victims described a similarly dressed man: black ski mask, black hooded sweatshirt, black gloves and a backpack, among other attributes.
When authorities searched Johnson's home, located on the 900 block of Quantico Avenue in Bakersfield, they found clothing the same size as the clothes Johnson was wearing at the time of his October arrest.
Authorities also found shoes and a hat, which they claim to be significant to the investigation because shoe marks were left at the spot of three sexual assaults, and the size of the hat could be compared to the size of a ski mask found earlier in the investigation.
Police also obtained a pack of cigarettes from Johnson when he was arrested, and at least one victim described the suspect as having a "distinct smell of cigarette smoke," according to the warrant.
Johnson is scheduled for court on Jan. 31.

To ward off evil tendencies, human beings should develop the ability to accept and nourish healthy thoughts.
Violent attitude is robbing away peace and love among human beings. And it is because of nurturing selfish thoughts that society no longer believes in unity, but in individual isolation. This selfish attitude has been firmly entrenched in our minds. Instead, people must attain pleasure by devoting more time in serving society.
While striving to take humans to the stars, there must also be attempts to bring back humanity to earth.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The share price of Plug Power (PLUG) is up an eye-popping 1,060% since Nov. 26. After the market close of Wednesday, the maker of fuel-cells packs for forklifts announced its purchase of ReliOn, a developer of hydrogen fuel cell stack, in an all-stock deal worth $4 million. Plug shares traded late Friday at $7.06.
What began with Plug's announcement in early December of its expectation to finally make a profit after 14 years of product development, aborted market directions and serial share dilutions, has morphed into a speculative fight between relentless momentum traders and a growing chorus of vocal shorts who anticipate an imminent bubble run-in with a pin.
At nearly 30-times sales, the stock trades at a price already discounting not only a full-year fiscal 2014 revenue guidance of $70 million but also a potential revenue-double for fiscal 2015, stemming, in part, from Wal-Mart's (WMT) anticipated order stream to outfit more of the mega-retailer's distribution centers.
In essence, investors who take a stake in Plug today are pricing in a two- or three-year flawless performance from Plug CEO Andy Marsh whose track record of forecasting anything remotely accurate has yet to be witnessed since as far back as 2010, as Andy Left's Citron Research aggressively asserts.
As a result of three years of the alleged Marsh double-talk, some say the man is downright disingenuous, while others say that Marsh's string of guidance misses comes from a combination of unexpected technical defects in Plug's past products and a childlike streak of optimism along the way.

F1 Fanatic - F1
Tagged: Lies Then CL Shoes, rumours
This topic contains 221 replies, has 39 voices, and was last updated by GeeMac 3 years, 3 months ago.
@geemac as far as I know vdG wasn't rejected by the team, he could have stayed but wanted to leave for Sauber
Back to the game: Current point-system.
Hülkenberg or Grosjean?
Hulkenberg, by a hair.
F1 in 2003 or F1 in 2013?
Since the championshop was a whole lot closer and the cars were faster, 2003 easily wins this.
Gilles Villeneuve or Ronnie Peterson?
May be controversial, but it is Peterson for me.
Pacific Grand Prix or Simtek?
wait a second, one is a gp, the other a team… I'll say Pacific for no real reason, just to keep the post rolling.
Which one scared you most: Ralf's crash at Indy or Kubica's in Canada?
Kubica at Canada
Indy 500 or Monaco GP? And Why?
@omarr-pepper Pacific Grand Prix was also a team that raced in F1 in 1994 abnd 1995
Monaco GP
Spa or Suzuka?
@kingshark and why Monaco? (that was part of the original question)
Then I just skip your main question about Spa or Suzuka
Mainly because I'm not a big fan of Indycar but a huge fan of F1. Although Indy has grown on me recently, the most prestigious F1 race is still the best race on the calendar for me IMO.
I'll ask again, Spa or Suzuka?
Wow, tough question. I guess Spa. I love Kimi's wins there, and his battle with Lewis in 2008 was epic! Webber pass on Alonso at Eau Rouge was awesome! Grosjean doing a Maldonado was thrilling (in the bad way, I feared for Alonso's life), that race is always spicy! (except for last year maybe :C )
What's better: Rainy race or dry race (both IN SILVERSTONE)
Tough one. Silverstone 2003 was the best race ever held around Silverstone and it was dry, but generally speaking wet races deliver more excitement. I guess rainy race wins.
Hockenheim 2000 or Silverstone 2003? (for Barrichello's best career win)
Hockenheim 2000 because it was his first one. Very emotional moment.
Robert Kubica or Nico Rosberg in 2010?
Kubica, because the Mercedes was far better than the Renault and the difference between the two wasn't that big
Chinese GP 2007 or Canadian GP 2008
@kingshark Did you pick those races because Barrichello won both or did you pick them two because there was an invader in both of them?
By the way, this is the same guy that invaded the 2003 British GP
Kubica, because the Mercedes was far better than the Renault and the difference between the two wasn't that big
I actually strongly disagree about your claim that Mercedes was "much" faster than Renault. The cars were very evenly matched, both scored 3 podiums, and Rosberg beat Kubica by 6 points.
I preferred China 2007.
Hakkinen vs Schumacher in 2000 or Alonso vs Schumacher in 2006?

Editorial: Irvine may succumb to bag-ban fever
City studying whether to join Laguna, Huntington in throwing government's weight behind reusable bags.
August 22, 2012
Source: Orange County Register
Irvine may be the next Orange County city to use plastic grocery bags as a scapegoat for local environmental concerns. City leaders are weighing whether to follow the lead of Laguna Beach and Huntington Beach in imposing such an invasive and overreaching policy decree as a bag ban.
The Irvine City Council voted 4-1 on Aug. 14 to direct city staff to study a potential ban of plastic grocery bags. Councilman Jeff Lalloway cast the dissenting vote. Apparently, termed-out Mayor Sukhee Kang, a Democratic candidate for Congress, is pushing the bag ban to deal with, as he termed it, "harmful impacts of widespread use of plastic grocery shopping bags."
We've editorialized repeatedly against having government insert itself in what should be a decision made by the consumer and the marketplace. Such bans, which often have included mandatory charges for paper bags, are becoming a trend, especially among municipalities along or near the coast.
Not only do bag bans amount to overreach by local government and create a precedent for local officials to enact freedom-infringing edicts on little more than feel-good environmentalism, but little evidence exists to that shows such polices would improve the environment.
Before proceeding further, the Irvine council ought to answer the following questions: Is there sufficient evidence to suggest plastic bags actually have a significant impact on the environment compared with so-called reusable bags? Is it the role of local government to legislate personal behaviors and purchasing options? What will the economic repercussions be of such a policy? Are there health implications?
For example, San Francisco, which instituted a bag ban on larger retailers in 2007, opted not to pursue a similar ban on smaller retailers because it would have negative economic consequences, as Assemblywoman Diane Harkey, R-Laguna Niguel, pointed out this year in an opinion column for the Register.
Also, there is some dissent as to how harmful single-use plastic bags are for the environment compared with reusable bags and paper bags. California State University chemical engineer Joseph Greene told the Wall Street Journal that reusable bags had to be used nine times before they had a positive environmental impact compared with single-use plastic bags.
Sterling Burnett, a senior fellow at the National Center for Policy Analysis, said plastic bags "use less energy than reusable bags" and paper bags. He also said plastic bags are healthier than reusable bags, which store bacteria and pass them on when the bags are brought back into stores, placed in shopping carts or on checkout stand conveyor belts.
Mr. Lalloway told us that he opposes a ban because "plastic bags are reused for a variety of other purposes. For example, I use them to pick up waste to pick up after my dogs; restaurants use them for take out and other people use them for other reasons," he said. "The unintended consequences of banning bags has not been fully contemplated by this council."
Irvine should opt against following this regulatory fad.

Glass Hangover
This takes place after the events of Forgebreaking and after the fall of Theramore.
Aely stood in the little washroom of their apartment, hands over the sink, ripping the remains of a glass out of the palm of her hand. It hurt, but not enough. The tumbler had shattered satisfactorily against the bar, but Kyraine had to go and get Verne, and he had to go and try to heal it.
Numbly, she looked at the little glittering shards in the sink, washed pink with blood and warm water. She spat, tasting the sour remnants of bad whiskey, and dug the last bit of glass out of her palm. It fell with a clink against its brothers. Her hand oozed red down the side of the sink.
Look at yirself. Na better than fuckin' Bittertongue. Go oan. Wallow in it.
She wrapped a linen bandage tightly around her hand, gritting her teeth. No better than Bittertongue indeed. She wasn't sure where the line was – The utter catastrophe of the summit. Malkavet and the condition of Shaila on her rescue. Having razed a fortress to the ground, only to find that Beltar wasn't there. The loss of the freed slaves she'd tried so hard to give a better chance to. The destruction of everyone and everything in Theramore, the last remaining stronghold with ties to the North.
But it didn't really matter where the line was, this crossed it.
Sensless bloody loss ay life. What a fuckin' waste.
She briefly fought a battle not to attack the wall behind her, gave up, and slammed her hands into it anyway. Neither gave way, and the low gutteral growl in the back of her throat turned to a full blown scream, turned to deep, wracking sobs. She collapsed into the wall, beating against it weakly with her bandaged hand, reopening the wounds. The white linen turned red. Aely gave herself up to the sobbing, sliding down and sitting on the floor, letting the hurt and loss and hatred pour out of her like water.
Eventually there was nothing left. Nothing but the still, small voice of her own mind.
Wir at war, Aely Caltrains. Ye've been ta war before. Time ta start actin' like it.
She sat for a moment, thinking about that. And then she took a deep breath, stood up, swept the glass shards out of the sink into the trash, splashed some water on her face, and left.

GVMC urged to modernise cricket stadium - Tv9
Tue, Mar 22, 2016, 11:33 AM
TDP legislator in AP Assembly, Ganesh Kumar, urged the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) to modernise the cricket stadium in Visakhapatnam, to allow international matches. He said that earlier, during TDP rule, the stadium was used for international matches, but now it has turned in to a dumping ground. He urged the minister concerned as well as GVMC authorities to uplift the stadium.

Update: 2:50 p.m.: Ross Mirkarimi's proposal to extend DROP by one year fails, 10-1. DROP will not be extended.
Update, 10:55 a.m. Police Union head Gary Delagnes predicts Ross Mirkarimi will push renewing DROP for one year.
Not long ago, SF Weekly wrote a story about the city's Deferred Retirement Option Plan (DROP). The program allows older police officers to simultaneously earn pensions and salaries -- a tough scenario to justify in these lean times of ours.
No fiscal analysis of DROP was undertaken between its adoption in 2007 and April 15 of this year. Here's your Tax Day surprise: A program sold as a cost-neutral method of encouraging police to work longer turned out to be a drain that actually led to earlier retirement ages.
You'd think that'd settle the argument on whether to extend the program, which the supes will decide on today. But financial numbers aren't the only figures our elected officials kick around. SF Weekly has learned that the talk in the corridors of City Hall is that progressive stalwart Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi will champion an extension of a program the city controller estimated could add upwards of $50 million to the city's retirement costs.
Mirkarimi hasn't returned our messages. But, politically, this would not be a total shocker. At last week's Budget and Finance Committee, helamented the paucity of data as yet accumulated regarding the program. That committee took no position on whether to extend DROP.
The District 5 supe is, notably, running for sheriff. He has Sheriff Mike Hennessey's support -- but only two members of the department's 400-strong union voting body have opined they support Mirkarimi's run. Championing the Police Officers Association's favorite project couldn't hurt.
SF Weekly has heard that, rather than extend the program for the full three years allowable under law, Mirkarimi may push for a single year.
Again, the supervisor hasn't gotten back to us yet. And all will be revealed at today's meeting. The fiscal ramifications of DROP, however -- that'll take a lot longer to crunch.
Update, 10:55 a.m.: "Politics makes strange bedfellows. I think Ross is going to make a pitch to extend it for one year," says Police Officers Association president Gary Delagnes.
As he did in our April cover story, Delagnes told SF Weekly that sunsetting DROP will lead to a cavalcade of officers retiring. Essentially, the program must be preserved in order to prevent it from being used.
The union head is preparing notes for today's meeting that he hopes to go over with an elected official -- "Let's just say we have more than one supporter on this issue. The vote will be very interesting."

The mister brought a 40-pound box of apples home two weeks ago and as many times as I've wanted to clear my schedule and counter to make a hot apple pie, I haven't. Roasted applesauce and dried apple rings, check. Lots of apples blended into smoothies, double check. Apples washed and eaten straight from the box, triple plus check.
I've chosen practical and healthful ways to preserve the fruit without allowing a little decadence in. What's that about? I'll tell you. I'm writing and daydreaming and staring at a computer screen willing my guts, heart, and breath to assemble into a story, any story, scattered words on the page will do just fine for the day, thank you very much. I'm also reverting to my childhood habit of feverishly biting my nails as I get closer to the fear and truth in opening up the bloody truth chamber. That sounded a little horrific, sorry. I'm also scanning film shot in Montreal and remembering the thrill of experiencing the city for the first time. What happens if we impart this feeling into our writing practice?
I admit it. It's easier to write about the process of writing than cutting into the pulpy center. What am I getting at here? Writing is tough. It begs us to wake up and to examine the fine lines etched into our personal histories. To work at each sentence like a wood carver does, transforming felled branches into sleek modernist constructions (I'm thinking about Frank Lloyd Wright here). To be confident and brave and willing to fail. To fall flat into literary cliches and muddled mediocrity.
Writing, good writing that is, demands we find a way to make our way to the roof top in the middle of a torrential rain storm, without a ladder or an easy way up. The only things we have going for us in such a predicament is a pair of sturdy rain boots and our imagination. We must fight against potential dangers (like lightning and death). We must be stronger than the mighty uncontrollable forces pulling us down. With pen and paper (waterproof in this case or maybe we use a voice recorder, phone, or fill in the imaginary blank), we possess the ultimate secret weapon: words.
Here's my call to action. Go forth and write. Bleed your pen dry. Type your fingers numb. Do whatever it takes. As often as possible.
I'm off to write.
Then make pie.

The formula of heavy beats, electronic loops, and traditional instruments combined with elegant female vocals has served everyone from its pioneer Bjork to Mono and Hooverphonic well. While there is, without a doubt, bad trip-hop in the world, its dreamy glamour seems to keep most of it intriguing. This, and only this, is why Nina Hynes' Creation is enjoyable to listen to.
A short six song collection, Creation seems to be more of a sample of Nina Hynes' music than an actual album. The songs are taut and beautiful, bringing in mellow alt-rock guitars into the equation while not straying from its trip-hop roots. With Hynes' seductively knowing voice, it seems to be an impossibility for Creation to be bad. Unfortunately, for all the potential that is here, it doesn't rise much above that level.
Starting with the intense "William Tell", Creation seems to promise great things, but the next song, too straightforward "This Magic Stuff" doesn't deliver. The atmospheric "He Turned the Light Off" returns to the sound of "William Tell" but meanders along without ever getting anywhere. The dark and spooky "Trigger" and "Out of the Tunnel" standout from the other songs as the strongest, while "Bring Me Alive" concludes Creation on a bit of a disappointing note. Everything on Creation is probably worth hearing, but the feeling that most of these songs could be better is inescapable.
Lyrically, Nina Hynes brings the right sense of off-kilter mystery. On "Trigger" she sings sinisterly "One move could trigger an ice age unleashing from the mind's cage." Later, on "Bring Me Alive", she declares "The physical manifestation of me is not who I am". The lyrics are dramatic, and while they can be a bit overdone, they are definitely haunting, and while they tend to fade behind the music, they are worth listening for.
Creation shows Nina Hynes' potential, but they aren't there yet. While it will be great what to see what they do next, Creation is not a complete success except to show what they do next.

As Europe Wilts, Don't Eat These BUNS (EWU, EWN, EWP)
Our quest for the best in international investing acronyms takes a cautionary turn today to the developed markets side of the spectrum.
Are there are legitimate opportunities in the world's developed nations for investors? The answer is "yes" with a "but" as in "Yes, but it depends on what developed markets one is evaluating." The S&P 500 has outperformed an array of developed market benchmark indexes this year, so it's safe to say the U.S. should be on anyone list of industrialized nations to invest in. Analysts also see value in markets such as Australia and Hong Kong just name a pair.
For better or worse, there are developed markets that, generally speaking, should be avoided over the near- to medium-term and there's a new acronym to help investors remember those countries: BUNS. As in Belgium, the U.K., the Netherlands and Spain.
Looks look at the respective ETFs for each.
iShares MSCI Belgium Investable Market Index Fund (NYSE: EWK) The iShares MSCI Belgium Investable Market Index, which is home $26.4 million in AUM, is a curous tale. EWK suffered through Belgium's credit downgrade in late 2011 but the fund has been solid performer this year.
The yield of 4.6% is also inviting, but EWK is a two-sided coin. One side is that Belgium has had its share of political problems, credit downgrades and the fund is sensitive to the fragile state of affairs in the Euro Zone. On the other side, Anhueser-Busch InBev (NYSE: BUD) accounts for almost 27% of EWK's weight and if that stock performs well, EWK might (emphasis on "might") be insulated a bit from Europe's trials and tribulations.
iShares MSCI United Kingdom Index Fund (NYSE: EWU) How much longer EWU stays positive on the year is up for debate following news from earlier Wednesday that United Kingdom officially entered a double-dip recession, as its GDP fell 0.2% from the fourth quarter of 2011.
Other woes exist for EWU in the form of its sector breakdown. Financials account for almost 18% of the fund's weight and investors' appetites for European bank stocks isn't robust at the moment. Energy and materials combine for another 31% of the ETF's weight and while that means high-quality names such as Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS-A) and BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP), that also means EWU needs high-beta stocks to be in favor to generate upside.
iShares MSCI Netherlands Investable Market Index Fund (NYSE: EWN) Home to an AAA credit rating, the Netherlands and EWN had the potential to be safe haven plays amid the drama that is Europe's sovereign debt calamity. There is one clear reason to avoid EWN for the time being: Markets hate uncertainty and markets have a pronounced distaste for political uncertainty, but that's exactly what the Netherlands is home to right now.
Then there is the matter of EWN's weak chart. EWN is down 6.3% in the past month, resides below its 20- and 50-day moving averages and barely above its 200-day line.
iShares MSCI Spain Index Fund (NYSE: EWP) Not surprisingly, EWP is the worst performer of the BUNS quartet and that also means a yield trap, er dividend yield of about 10%. The International Monetary Fund said today Spain may need for public funds to bolster its banks and identified 10 Spanish banks as vulnerable regarding bad loans.
Don't forget Spain's surging borrowing costs. On Tuesday, the country sold a combined $2.6 billion in 3- and 6-month notes. The yields of 0.63% and 1.58% compare with 0.38% and 0.84%, respectively at the last auction, the Associated Press reported.

Norman says he's been offered job as lead analyst for Fox SportsGreg Norman could become the lead analyst for Fox Sports, which will begin televising the U.S. Open in 2015.August 13, 2013
By PGATOUR.COM wire services
Johnny Miller has one more year to call the U.S. Open before the USGA starts its new 12-year television contract with Fox Sports.
Golf Digest says the man replacing him could be another two-time major champion -- Greg Norman.
Norman told the magazine's website that he already has been offered the lead analyst job when Fox broadcasts the U.S. Open in 2015 at Chambers Bay. The Shark said in an email to golfdigest.com that David Hill, senior vice president for News Corp., "has reached out to me, we have spoken and yes, they have offered me the job."
He said he looked forward to having discussions with Hill, whom he described as a good friend. Hill ran Fox Sports Media Group before managing "American Idol" and "X Factor."
Norman and Fox were involved in an attempt 20 years ago to start a world tour. The PGA TOUR fought it and rallied players to its side, and the World Golf Championships series began about five years later.
If he gets the job, viewers might not be spared stories about a 63 in a major. Norman did it twice. Just never in a final round. Not in the U.S. Open. And not at Oakmont.
