North Park Jack in the Box court case surprise
"I am not going to subject my clients to abusive depositions by Mr. Briggs."
Dorian Hargrove 1:15 p.m., Sept. 25
Had Abraham doubted as he stood on the mountain in Moriah, had he looked about in indecision, if before drawing the knife he had accidentally caught sight of the ram and God had allowed him to offer it in place of Isaac — then he would have gone home, everything would have been as before, he would have had Sarah, he would have kept Isaac, and yet how changed! For his withdrawal would have been a flight, his deliverance an accident, his reward dishonor, his future perhaps damnation. Then he would have borne witness, not to his faith or God's mercy, but to how dreadful was the journey to the mountain in Moriah. Abraham would not be forgotten, nor the mountain. Yet it would not be mentioned like Ararat, where the Ark came to land, but as a horror, for it was that Abraham doubted.
— "Speech in Praise of Abraham," Fear and Trembling.
Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855) was a Danish theologian who served as a sort of gadfly for what he saw as the vapidity of modern Christianity. He based his theology on his reaction to modern philosophy — especially as it was embodied by George F.W. Hegel. Kierkegaard is regarded as the "Father of Existentialism" and Fear and Trembling is typical of both his themes and style.

Dog Veterinary
Ask a Dog Vet and Get Answers to Your Dog Health Questions
Hello there. My name isXXXXX yes you can safely give imodium to Louie for soft stools. 1/2 tablet is just about the right dose for a dog his size. The published dose is right around 1 tablet per 40 lbs of body weight. The medication is safe enough that 1/2 tablet for 14 lbs is close enough even though its slightly high and it will not cause a problem. You can give imodium two to three times daily. So again yes 1/2 tablet is safe for Louie two to three times a day. If anything worsens definitely have him seen by your vet. I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns. I would be happy to help.
Please do not forget to rate my response so I receive credit for my time. Thank you!

Nebraska got everything it could handle from in-state foe Nebraska-Omaha on Sunday afternoon, but in the end the Huskers were able to accomplish the only thing that really matters during the early portion of its non-conference schedule - get a win.
Senior guard Dylan Talley scored a career-high 22 points while senior center Andre Almeida had his best game of the season with 19 points and seven rebounds to lead NU (3-0) to a 75-62 victory over the Mavericks.
The game was much closer than most would have expected, as UNO (1-4) led for much of the first half and even went up two early in second half. It wasn't until Nebraska closed the day with a 32-16 run that it was finally able to put the win away.
"I credit UNO. I thought they did a really good job of being on the attack," head coach Tim Miles said. "I don't know what our mindset is - that doesn't matter. They were the better executing team. They were the aggressor. I tell our guys all the time, the aggressor always wins, and there was no doubt that we let them get downhill on us. They were on the attack, and it took us a long time to solve that problem."
It was a sluggish first half for Nebraska from the opening tip until the halftime buzzer, as the Huskers were arguably lucky to go into the second half with a 36-34 lead considering the way they played for the bulk of the half.
After a basket by UNO guard Justin Simmons that put the Mavericks up 9-8 with 13:45 to go, Nebraska wouldn't end up reclaiming the lead until a jumper by sophomore David Rivers with 5:39 left before halftime.
Even then, the most NU would go up was four points, as Omaha native C.J. Carter knocked down a pair of free throws with 51 seconds left to cut the lead to 36-34 at the end of the half. Maybe the biggest stat of the first 20 minutes came from beyond the arc, as the Mavericks shot 4-of-7 (57 percent) from 3-point range while the Huskers were a dismal 2-of-12 (17 percent).
Simmons scored 12 of his team-high 19 points in the first half for UNO, while senior forward Brandon Ubel and Almeida both had nine for Nebraska.
"I think we came out a little sloppy," Almeida said. "I think Omaha came with the intention to kick our butt, so we've got to give them credit for that. You've just got to find a way to win the game and protect your home court."
Nebraska's struggles continued on after halftime, and UNO was eventually able to take its first and only lead of the second half on a basket by Omaha native Koang Doluony to make it 46-44 with 15:46 remaining.
At that point, though, the Huskers' size and physicality took over. Behind 10 points from Talley and Almeida, Nebraska responded with a 14-2 run and jumped back up 58-48 with just under nine minutes to go.
That run eventually turned into a 15-point lead for NU with just two minutes left, and from there it was merely a matter of running out the clock and getting out of the Devaney Center with its third win in a row.
Ubel and senior guard Ray Gallegos both ended the day with 11 points and seven rebounds, though Gallegos shot just 4-of-16 from the field and 2-of-11 from 3. As a team, NU was a miserable 3-of-22 from the outside, while the Mavericks were 8-of-13.
Alex Welhouse finished with 14 points for UNO, including going 4-of-5 from beyond the arc.
More importantly than anything for the Huskers is they got the win on Sunday, as those will only get harder to come by as the season roles along.
"You can't underestimate any team," Talley said. "I mean, it's not like North Carolina where we just step on the court and beat people just by showing up. We've got to bring the fight to people every game. They brought the fight to us this game, so that's just a credit to them."
The Huskers will return to action on Wednesday when they play host to Tulane at 7 p.m. CT.
Around the rim
***Nebraska out-scored UNO 46-14 in the paint, 23-13 on points off turnovers and 24-6 on second-chance points. The Huskers' 16 offensive rebounds were their most since hauling in 17 against Alcorn State last December.
***Along with his career-high 22 points, bettering his previous high of 18 last year against Oregon, Talley had four assists and five rebounds. Talley also played a team-high 38 minutes, the second straight game he has set a personal best in minutes.
He also scored 14 of his 22 points in the second half.
"I thought he was pretty good at the end of the first half," Miles said. "He took a whole bunch of 3s early, and then he kind of decided, 'Listen, we're not losing this game. I'm going to get to the rim.' He made a couple mistakes late in the first half, but he was still there. We don't have anybody that gets us to the rim, and so at least somebody was getting in there."
***Almeida's season-high 19 points came on 9-of-11 shooting from the floor and were just one point shy of tying his career high of 20. He also tied his career high with seven rebounds.
"I thought Andre was obviously a dominant force," Miles said. "There was nobody with his size, and I thought he kept his composure. He didn't get frustrated or down on himself if things didn't go well, and it went right a lot of times."
***With Ubel and Gallegos both scoring 11 points, it marked the first time in either player's career that they have scored in double figures in three straight games.
***Miles praised the play of UNO's Simmons, who ended the day 8-of-13 from the field and 2-of-3 from 3-point range.
"He did a really good job," Miles said. "I have to credit him. I'd seen some of his athleticism on tape. I hadn't seen the array of jump shots - whether it be the high floater, the bank in, whatever. He did a great job, and when a guy gets in a rhythm like that, you've got to get him out of rhythm… When a kid like that comes in and changes your own game plan, he's quite a weapon."

It's been said that rehab works for those who work for it (and we're not talking about Page Six mentions). But there's still hope for some of our ailing music icons:
In Need of Rehab: John Mayer
Diagnosis: The guy is infected with Pompous blogitis, or the tendency to believe one's Web site is the center of all intellectual activity. We love the sound of your voice, buddy, but not in the written form where you give your earth-shattering theories such names as "Mind Fingering," the "Say Say Say Effect," and "Dramastic Change."
Recommended Treatment: One day of Web celeb training with Perez Hilton (proprietor of "Fuck Rehab" T-shirts), who, as a bonus, will illuminate the finer points of scrawling cartoon penises on paparazzi photos. Hey, at least the "gossip gangstarr" knows how to crawl up other people's asses.
In Need of Rehab: Don Bolles
Diagnosis: The former Germs drummer (and ex-heroin addict) was recently popped in Orange County for what police claimed was the illegal drug GHB hidden in a bottle of Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap. Bolles says it was just scrubbin' bubbles, and besides, officer, he was on his way to an AA meeting.
Recommended Treatment: Be a real punk and quit cleaning products cold turkey; cops love strip-searching stinkin' anarchists.
In Need of Rehab: LL Cool J
Diagnosis: Lip-licking cancer of orange-looking jaundice or LLCOOLJ, for short. Longtime fans will note that LL has maintained this annoying tic the obsessive and insatiable urge to keep his smacker constantly moistened the entire time he's been in the public eye.
Recommended Treatment: 30 days of having his mouth assaulted with paper cuts from the pages of his recent ab-rehab tome, LL Cool J's Platinum Workout (note: using only chapters concerning the "Bronze," "Silver," and "Diamond" level physiques).
In Need of Rehab: Foxy Brown
Diagnosis: The briefly deaf rapper has anger management issues, allegedly beating up manicurists and beauty supply store employees. Clearly, she's not feeling pretty.
Recommended Treatment: 60 days of hands-on cosmetology and sanitation removal training with the demure Naomi Campbell.
In Need of Rehab: Avril Lavigne
Diagnosis: Couth-deficient, as exemplified by her spitting at paparazzi; bagging on other young pop tarts in interviews; lack of vocal talent.
Recommended Treatment: 90 days of recording sessions with Miss Manners, who will teach Lavigne to stop the gob and to cease using her voice to inflict pain on this fragile world, where ears are like eggshells.
In Need of Rehab: Too Short
Diagnosis: The rapper famous for rhyming about pimping is a featured victim on the new season of MTV's prank show Punk'd. He lets bikini-clad women (who he is later tricked into believing are underage) wash his car. The man has a problem with autoeroticism he doesn't love his car enough to keep it clean.
Treatment: One year of detailing vehicles with Foxy's cuticle brush at a hand car wash.
In Need of Rehab: Tommy Stinson
Diagnosis: Guns N' Roses recently postponed Japanese tour dates after bassist Stinson damaged the ligaments in his hand during a tumble down a flight of stairs. We recall he also took a little spill while on stage performing with GN'R at the Warfield last summer, and probably "fell down a lot" during his years in the Replacements. The man obviously struggles with the b-word: balance.
Treatment: 18 months of gravity-fighting meetings, to be followed by two-hour sessions of balance bar work at the gym, mind you, not the place with the cocktail onions.

Every week we gather a few local commentators to talk about some of the stories of the week — from the arts to sports to politics and more. Our guests tell us what they're thinking about and we ignite the conversation.
The idea is to get a casual, but thoughtful, conversation going about the events and subjects that are being discussed in the cubicles, kitchens, and coffee shops of our region.
This week we're talking about Sheryl Sandberg's "Lean In" concept, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer's decision to stop letting her employees work from home, artist Chris Fraser's In Passing show at Disjecta, and a little more about the Oscars.
What's on your mind this week?

Directed by Marc Gracie
Rated M
Cinemas everywhere
Tony is a fish 'n' chip shop owner with a cleanliness fetish, and Trev is a hygienically challenged purveyor of hamburgers. Like bream and bacon, the two could not be less compatible. Which is fine, given that their respective takeaway shops are in direct competition.
Fine, that is, until an expansionist rival, Burgies - imagine a blend of McDonald's and KFC - opens next door. "Those that stand in our way will be crushed," says the evil Burgies manager. In fact he's uber-evil, as if director/producer Marc Gracie replied yes when asked, "Would you like extra evil with that, sir?"
This is one of my concerns with Take Away: that all the characters are overly straightforward. Most are simple and unchanging; those whose personalities develop do so in a way usually foreseeable.
Perhaps it's just that Australia has produced such a glut of underdog comedies in recent years (The Man Who Sued God, Crackerjack, The Honourable Wally Norman), but the plot is predictable too, a didactic Davo-and-Goliath story with the works. Confronted by a common enemy, Trev and Tony must unite and fight. It's as if, having worked with Gracie on TV's Totally Full Frontal, writers Mark O'Toole and Dave O'Neil had a cute idea for a recipe, then skimped on the ingredients.
Compare it with The Castle, the hit which set the benchmark for underdog comedies. Its compelling characters included an imprisoned son, engaged daughter and incompetent lawyer. Even the minor characters had dreams, desires and insecurities. Hence they were compelling. In Take Away, by contrast, Rose Byrne and Nathan Phillips play the employees of Tony and Trev, but details of their lives are sketchy.
Similarly, the setting is vague. The film doesn't specify whether Trev and Tony have their shops in the country or the city. A sense of place would have helped anchor the story. The Castle yielded satisfying surprises partly because it was firmly rooted; Take Away is vague.
Fortunately, there are positives. Gracie, who has directed TV comedy and produced the Jimeoin film The Craic, directs with confidence and style. And the performances are consistently strong. As sloppy yob Trev, Stephen Curry is likeable and amusing. As his nemesis-cum-ally Tony, Vince Colosimo is typically dependable, as are Byrne and Phillips.
The ambitious, symbolic ending is well-executed and apt. But the best sequence of all opens the film. A quirky look at the history of fish 'n' chips, with Nicholas Bell and Francis Greenslade, it is funny because it is risky and inventive. The rest of Take Away's plot would have benefited from more such risk-taking and invention.

General News of Thursday, 20 March 2014
Source: Myjoyonline.com
A buoyant Nana Akufo-Addo, who announced his readiness to contest the party's flagbearership race on Thursday, has switched into campaign mood by attacking government's handling of the current power crisis facing Ghanaians.
The-two-time failed presidential candidate told party executives and supporters that God or Nigeria can no longer be blamed for our intractable power crisis.
"We cannot be blaming an act of God or Nigeria for our power crisis. It is Ghana made and must be fixed by Ghanaians," he stated.
The country is currently enduring a load management regime that has left many homes, offices and companies without electricity for 12 hours out of 60 hours. The erratic power supply has been on for over a year with the energy providers sometimes blaming the situation on natural causes and limited supply of gas from Nigeria.
But Akufo-Addo insists poor planning and lack of vision by the country's leadership must be blamed for the disaster.
In a speech that was punctuated with cheers, slogans and party songs, Nana Addo did not fail to unleash a-scatter-gun attack on how Ghana's economy is being managed.
He said much of the difficulty the country is facing is as a result of "widespread corruption" that has engulfed the country.
As a result of that the country cannot pay for its statutory funds, he pointed out.
"School feeding is in arrears. Ask yourself why. Contractors have not been paid. Ask yourself why?", Akufo-Addo told the spirited supporters.
What the country needs is a government that must "give value for money" even with the limited resources we have, he stated.
According to him, Ghana's infrastructural deficit has been estimated at $2 billion and yet the country in 2012 recorded a budget deficit of $4 billion. He said nothing of substance could be pointed to as value for the budget deficit.
Nana Akufo-Addo said the Finance Minister instead of thinking about how to grow the economy, has now been preoccupied with the responsibility of plucking this hole created by the budget deficit.
He said "Ghana can do better with the current state of affairs", reminding supporters that "we have unfinished business and I am ready to go back to work."

The objectives of the MCRP program are to prepare you for your first professional job and for a long-term career in planning. We believe that both aims can best be met by a program of study and simulated practice that combines theory and methods with substantive knowledge about planning, spatial development and public policy.
The program is structured to provide: 1) a core of planning theory, urban theory and planning methods, 2) in-depth coverage of substantive knowledge, methods, techniques and institutions in an area of specialization, 3) elective courses to broaden or deepen knowledge and skills in particular areas of interest, and 4) application of knowledge and skills in a problem-solving workshop and Master's Project.
In addition to the core curriculum, taken during the first year in residence, the department offers four specializations associated with professional planning practice in: economic development, housing & community development, land use and environmental planning, and transportation planning. Sustainable development is the overarching concept for these specializations. Each emphasizes equity, environmental quality, economic viability, and social participation and grapples with the interconnections among these dimensions of sustainability.
We also offer tracks that cut across specializations and serve to augment the core and specialization curricula. These tracks are packages of courses can be taken as electives along with specializations and can be viewed as follows:
Please refer to our MCRP Program Guide & Degree Requirements for more detailed information.
Master's project
Students must submit a final project of professional quality on a topic in their area of specialization. This Master's project serves to demonstrate the student's capabilities in his/her area and his/her readiness for professional practice. The Master's project is original work, involving a substantial degree of independent research and/or analysis. The project may expand on a paper or other work done in a course or on a research assistantship, or be related to an internship, job, or be an original project. Part of the Master's project work may be done as part of an independent study course taken in the student's third semester, generally the fall semester of the second year.

Microwaved PS4 Sells for Over $11,000 on eBay
People buy silly things on eBay. But this is so far beyond stupid it makes Kanye West look like an actual genius.
A man in California sold a Playstation 4 on eBay for $11,151. The price didn't climb 28,000% due to high demand for the recently released gaming system. It sold for that ridiculous price for one reason. It was "art."
The listing described it as:
"Microwaved Launch Day Edition Sony PS4″, Original artwork, sign & dated by the Artist made by your professional microwave operator at dOvetastic Microwave Theater.
It's the world's only Microwaved PS4 you cannot live without.
I could encase one of my boys' dirty diapers in an acrylic case and call it art. Would it sell?

Health care is historically resistant to economic downturns, but the sector could be more vulnerable in the future.
Investors looking to position themselves defensively often turn to market segments that are perceived as less economically sensitive. Health care is a sector that is often thought of as recession-proof. But is that reputation deserved? I sat down with Alex Morozov, an equity analyst on Morningstar's health-care team, to find out.
Sonya Morris: Have you done any work to see how sensitive health-care stocks are to the changes in the overall economy?
Alex Morozov: Yes. I dug into some historical data to see if that has been true in the past. The data show that there has been no significant statistical relationship between growth in health-care spending and gross domestic product growth for the past 40 years, which was as far back as my data extended. Growth in health-care spending outpaced GDP growth over the vast majority of that time frame. In fact, the largest gaps between health-care spending and GDP growth occurred during recessionary periods, indicating that consumers spend money on health care even when the economy is bad.
SM: Is it possible that there is a lag between the beginning of a recession and a downturn in health-care spending? Maybe it takes some time for an economic downturn to affect health-care spending.
AM: To test for such a lag effect, I adjusted the time frame of my study by looking at spending one year into a recession. That adjustment had little effect on the result. Health-care spending and economic growth remained uncorrelated.
SM: What do you think has contributed to the sector's resilience?
AM: Intuitively, health care should be less sensitive to economic cycles. It's one of the most basic needs that humans have, so demand for health-care services is very inelastic. It should be less economically sensitive.
I also think there have been industry forces that have contributed to its strength during bad economic times. For example, out-of-pocket expenditures as a percentage of total health-care spending have declined steadily since 1965, when Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law. Government and private health insurers have been picking up more of the tab. Consequently, health-care spending is less dependent on the consumer, and the sector is less exposed to consumer cycles as a result.

9:57pm: Forsberg says the team making the offer is not the Timberwolves, though he doesn't identify which team it is.
9:17pm: The Celtics have been outbid for Greg Stiemsma and are likely to withdraw their qualifying offer for the 6'11" big man, making him an unrestricted free agent, tweets Jerry Zgoda of the Star Tribune. Chris Forsberg of ESPNBoston.com hears that a team has made an offer to Stiemsma that exceeds the $1.054MM qualifying offer from the Celtics, and Zgoda hears the same via Stiemsma's agent (Twitter links).
I'd guess the team making the offer to Stiemsma is the Timberwolves, since a report earlier this week from A. Sherrod Blakely of CSNNE.com indicated Minnesota was prepared to offer him an annual salary of nearly $3MM. That would be about $1MM more than the Celtics could offer with their biannual exception. Boston, which has only had Stiemsma under contract for a year, has non-Bird rights on Stiemsma, allowing for a 120% raise or the amount of his qualifying offer, whichever is greater — and in Stiemsma's case, the qualifying offer is greater. The biannual exception amount of $1.957MM would be the most the Celtics could pay him, but it appears that still won't be enough to bring Stiemsma back.
Stiemsma and agent Mike Naiditch have expressed a willingness to be patient while the Wolves work on other priorities, but with Nicolas Batum, Courtney Lee and Jordan Hill eluding the team's grasp, it appears Stiemsma is finally the priority atop Wolves GM David Kahn's desk. Stiemsma was a revelation for the Celtics last season after spending most of his career overseas and in the D-League after going undrafted out of the University of Wisconsin in 2008. The 13.9 minutes per game he saw in 55 contests for the Celtics were more than he averaged in any of his four collegiate seasons, He put up 2.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.5 blocks a night in the regular season before an aching left foot limited his playing time and effectiveness in the playoffs.

43 year old woman | Beaumont, TX, United States | Seeking men 30-47 within 1000 miles
I am a woman (pescatarian) who cherishes life, art, music and to travel; I love being in compassionate company; who is looking for the same.
Hello. My name is Melissa Anne. Thanks for visiting my page. Here's a little about me…I am an independent woman, a dreamer and believer who likes broadening my horizons by meeting people. I am full of life, I love to laugh, and I am very passionate. I am a child-like spirit often reminded I am in an adult body. I chose to be silly sometimes – like a child who refuses to grow up; although I am a very responsible, dependable, and a "mature" woman. I enjoy life with a passion for nature, music, art, family, pets, and friends. I love the little things that people so often take for granted (A card in the mail, a call unexpected, a compliment). Life is fleeting and short, an accident gave me that lesson when I was younger. And each day is a gift full of opportunity that I am thankful for. I am a positive, friendly, quick to smile and laugh pescararian (person who eats seafood, no meat). I enjoy good conversation, a sense of humor, and to travel. I am shy but, confident and comfortable in who I am (an artist/teacher), and also in who I am not (perfect), while I still strive daily to better myself as a person. I am an honest, open, and a "real" person, who trys my best to treat others as I'd like to be treated. I would like a friendship with someone who is open, honest, fun, and shares in my interests, values, and also perspective on life.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing sports , Religion/Spiritual , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Cycling, Dancing, Soccer, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Cats, Dogs
I love all animals. Reptiles are hard, but we are all here for a reason, right? To each his own.
Austin, Texas Bohol, Philippines
Lamar University, Beaumont, TX
Musically speaking, I enjoy alot of different music , with the exception of country. Old Country is nice every once in awhile though. I listen to many different artists, with a wide range of beats.
A New Earth by Eckart Tolle, many different Artists' documentaries for classroom inspiration...lately haven't been reading much if it doesn't deal with the classroom. Out of Our Minds by Sir Ken Robinson

X Factor star Giles Potter to attend opening of Stonehouse skate park and youth club
8:00pm Tuesday 29th April 2014
By Sarah Yates
8:00pm Tuesday 29th April 2014
By Sarah Yates
X FACTOR heartthrob Giles Potter is to attend the long-awaited opening of the new skate park in Stonehouse.
Giles, who was a finalist on last year's hit show at the age of just 16, will watch Lord Lieutenant Dame Janet Trotter officially open the facilities in Oldends Lane playing field at 12.30pm on Saturday.
Skaters and riders currently have to travel to Stroud, Nailsworth or Cam to find a skate area.
However, following a request from youngsters to build the park, town councillor Pam Swain has been overseeing the project which started in May.
After a presentation by skaters to Stonehouse Town Council back in March 2012, members agreed to throw their weight behind plans.
Grinding rails have been built on the site after a survey of 500 pupils at Maidenhill School showed that a skate park was at the top of their wish list.
Families are welcome to watch the opening which will include BMX, skate and scooter competitions plus displays which will start at 11am with music from MC Geordie.
There will also be a barbecue and ice-creams.
Student Giles, from Worcester sang the Jackie Wilson classic Reet Petite at the X Factor arena auditions and now models for Ratchet Clothing.

- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 0.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 11.7%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- ATVI has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. To add to this, ATVI has a quick ratio of 2.29, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- ACTIVISION BLIZZARD INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, ACTIVISION BLIZZARD INC increased its bottom line by earning $0.92 versus $0.31 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.12 versus $0.92).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Software industry. The net income increased by 52.7% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $148.00 million to $226.00 million.

text: Do you concern yourself with the colour of your B&W prints? What magical combinations of chemicals, witches cauldron ingredients, or dances by the full moon do you add to the mix in order to achieve the colour you want? Are you happy being green? I've been wondering about this lately in my usual stew over it for a couple months before I do anything about it kind of way. For some reason my prints seem to be missing something... Since moving to VC papers I've been using Ilford Multigrade IVFB developed in a home brewed Metol-Glycin developer to which is added 15ml of 2% benzatriozole per litre of stock solution, then it's toned in selenium toner 1:10 for about 3 minutes, or just before it "eggplants". These stand shoulder to shoulder with the same images made on the original Zone VI Brilliant paper developed in Zone VI developer that were then selenium toned. I'm going to try a light sepia, regular selenium toner combination in a while to see if it adds that little something. There's so many combinations of paper, developer, additives, and toners out there...what works for you? Murray

When I turned 21 I explored all sorts of beers & I do dig a variety of brands & styles. But, I always come back around to Budweiser... It is hands down my favorite. It's just very tasty to me... Even has lil sweet kick to it. And, sorry beer snobs, bud's all natural beechwood age brewing process & recipe has not changed since it was introduced in 1876. No chemicals! Look it up. And, I actually prefer it in a can!
Love the beer everybody talk about the beer everybody everybody everybody everybody nearby nearby everybody talks a lot and everybody everybody everybody there by their body diapers and milk the people like it so I can drink it all the whole day I feel refresh every time every time I refresh refresh refresh refresh refresh eight but why but a while but it wasn't there
Budweiser but the original from Czech not the USA can not compare
Also pilsner but the original pilsner from the city of pilsner Czech
CORONA SMELLS LIKE SKUNK AND PISS HEINEKEN HAS A WATERY FLAVOR THE OTHER ONES PROBABLY HAD TO STOP DRINKING EM BECAUSE THEY SUCK GET A BLIND FOLD AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT IM SAYING BUDWEISER HAS TASTE PERFECT FOR ANY OCCASION AND IS EVERYWHERE IF YOU SAY IT SUCK YOU MUST BE A FAKE DRINKER AND DONT HAVE ANY TASTE WHATS SO EVER THIS IS THE kING OF BEERS! - laredo1loco13
Budweiser's magnum is the best beer I have ever tasted! Even though it's little expensive, and we had a plan to drink whiskey in the next few hours, we drank two cans in 5 minutes, without taking a break! My friends don't drink any other beer, since the day we tasted Magnum!
Its not just a liquid, it's a lifestyle.. An epic creation with legendary standards.. Great taste, pure aroma and awesome texture! Brings back the memories of those good old college days! Its not beer, it's the elixir of life, a heavenly nectar of the LORDS! Long live bud..
Budweiser is the best ever. I love it, just fresh and refreshing, the greatest combination of all ingredients I ever tasted. They make it with a very secret and magic recipe. Once tasted it you never forget, unless you haven't a good tooth for Gods nectar. Bud or Budweiser, "10/10".
I like to smell it before I drink cause it makes me feel like I am in heaven. Parties are incomplete without Budweiser, it feels complete and refreshing when it touches the belly. It takes me to the empire state of mind...
I would prefer Budweiser at any of the life event.
Budweiser really deserves to be said as the 'KING OF BEERS'...
Its as smooth as silk and the hit which get after having a couple of buds is just right neither too high nor too low there is an impeccable balance in the mixture of all ingredients that go into making this beer.. Surely is a great beer to have
Its simply heaven. Once tasted, you can never remove that taste from your tongue or memory. Before a person dies, he must have a sip of this beer. Hats off!
if jesus urinated into a dark bottle with a red label saying budweiser. that would be the sensational taste of the splended brew
Amazing beer, it's not to harsh, nor to easy. Not to expensive, nor to cheap. Not to fizzy, and not to flat. It's pure perfection. I could drink it all day long with no problems, YES, cheers!
Dollar for dollar, still the best beer for every day drinking. Quality still first rate, and the type of beer that you don't get tired of. No wonder it been around for ever.
This is a joke I hope... Please visit your local Fox and hound or local pub and try out all the different varieties.. this crap is what I drank in college because I bought into the marketing of it
Budweiser is something called a real natural beer which is mor healthier than any other beer in the world. Its taste is same since 18th century without chemicals. After drinking Budweiser the next day when I wake up, I feel more healthy. No hangover at all because it's real beer. I love Budweiser and thanks to the manufacturer as well.
Budweiser magnum is the best strong beer in the world. Taste this beer and I bet all other beers will taste like crap. Magnum is unbeatable. It's a bit expensive but worth every penny.
Here comes the Bud, here comes the big number one...! The Budweiser Brand is still so strong... These guys probably know more about beer and brewing than anybody! Take that Germany!
Budweiser is the best type of beer! Even there company says the "King of beer" it is! Not like Bud Light it just tastes like water!
$$$$ advertisement - low quality - Keystone Light wins time after time on taste tests (don't like that either) yet at half the price. Imagine that.
Its really awesome.. In real sense King of Beers. Its fizz, taste, the texture..
I liked it its smooth to drink but its not strong enough to beat my brand.
Its smooth and refreshing.! The best beer I ever had. I am love in first sip. I wish whole sea turn to Bud beer
As you have already mentioned Budweiser Beer in the top. It means for us it's really a good & top most beer
Top class beer.
Can drink it all day long.
Budweiser Magnum is the latest product and its awesome.
It has a great taste as compared to other beers, smooth and refreshing, no other beer can beat it

The UK will channel £7.6bn (€9.4bn) into low-carbon power generation from 2015−2020 under its subsidy regime, the government revealed on Friday.
The figure, which represents real 2012 prices and corresponds to around £9.8bn in 2020, was broadly welcomed by the renewable energy sector. It will form part of the energy bill, due for its second reading in parliament next week.
But the bill will not include a firm 2030 decarbonisation target for the power sector, which a number of government advisory bodies have been pushing for (see EDEM 13 September 2012).
Instead, that decision will be delayed until 2016, once the Committee on Climate Change has provided advice on the UK's fifth carbon budget, which covers the corresponding period. And even then, any ceiling on power sector emissions will take the form of a "target range", as opposed to a set limit.
In the meantime, the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) will issue guidance to UK system operator National Grid setting out "an indicative range of decarbonisation scenarios for the power sector in 2030".
DECC also confirmed that the counterparty for the new feed-in tariff with contracts for difference (FiT CfD) subsidy model will be a government-owned company. The issue of which body would act as the counterparty has been a sensitive one for the investment community (see EDEM 26 June 2012).
Contentious issues
Energy policy has been dogged by reports in recent weeks that coalition government infighting between the Liberal Democrat-headed DECC and the Conservative-headed treasury was putting power sector investment at risk (see EDEM 20 November 2012).
Energy secretary Ed Davey said on Friday: "This is a durable agreement across the coalition against which companies can invest and support jobs and our economic recovery."
The £7.6bn figure falls under the levy control framework, a treasury-run model designed to keep a lid on subsidy pools across government departments.
It is designed to reach a 30% penetration level for renewable power in the generation mix by 2020.
"This is proof that the treasury really does get it - the renewable energy industry offers one of our best hopes for economic recovery," said trade body RenewableUK's chief executive Maria McCaffery.
The FiT CfD subsidy model will also cover nuclear and, further down the line, carbon capture and storage-equipped fossil fuel-fired power generation.
The release of the details ahead of the energy bill is a clear sign that the government has realised the necessity of appeasing the investment community.
Last month, accountancy firm Ernst & Young said the pace of investment in the UK power sector was falling behind what was required to meet 2020 emissions reduction targets (see EDEM 29 October 2012).
DECC also said its gas-fired power generation strategy will be published on 5 December, alongside the treasury's autumn statement. JS

Such a sweet pair! Larry Birkhead and his gorgeous 3-year-old daughter Dannielynn had a blast together at the Boom Boom Room baby event at the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles on Friday (January 15). The adorable daughter of the late Anna Nicole Smith had fun playing in the ball pit and trying out hand lotions on daddy's face!
At the time of her third birthday, Larry said that Dannielynn was showing signs of missing a mother figure in her life:
She misses her mom so much. Right now she's at the age where she's noticing that other children in television and in books have moms. She said to me the other day quite seriously, "Where's my mom?" It was sad but I explained to her, "Your mommy is in the clouds and you'll see her again one day." She knows who her mom is, though — I make sure of that. Our home is filled with photos of Anna and recognizes her straight away. I want to keep her mom and Daniel in her mind."

To intensify a heat transfer in high-power emitters based on laser diode bars we propose the use of a heat sink from a porous permeable material cooled by a fluid flow [1–3]. The main advantage of this class of materials is the possibility of removing significant heat flows with compact heat sink. An analysis of the characteristic values of the thermal loads and their relations with the material and liquid parameters drawn from an one-dimensional model of stationary one-sided heat exchange shows the possibility of heat flow removal of more than 1.5 kW/cm2 at room temperature in a liquid. Methods for improving the effectiveness of the strategy are considered.

CELTIC are ready to cut their losses and ship £2.2million misfit Mo Bangura out of Parkhead.
Hoops boss Neil Lennon confirmed the Sierra Leone striker will be moved out - at the same time as he revealed an attempt to bring in another foreign hitman had come to a shuddering halt.
Lennon is desperate to find someone to convert the chances his side makes, but there is no chance the opportunity will be handed to Bangura.
He has failed to score a single goal in a competitive match since he arrived from AIK in Sweden in August, 2011, and was sent on loan back to AIK then, for all of last year, to Elfsborg. Bangura infamously lined up against Celtic for Elfsborg in their Champions League qualifiers in August.
Lennon accepts the player was placed in a difficult situation. But now, though he has a contract until 2015, the club have decided his time with them has come to an end.
Lennon does not believe Celtic will be prepared to pay up his contract, explaining: "We are not in the business of doing that."
But the man who returned to Lennoxtown last month is not expected to be around for much longer.
Lennon admits the 24-year-old has no future at the club and is looking at a loan or, preferably, a permanent move for him.
He said: "It's probably in Mo's best interests to get another move. It has not worked out for both parties, and these things happen sometimes.
"There have been no enquiries for him. Probably his best bet would be Scandinavia or somewhere else abroad again."
Lennon is disappointed Bangura has failed to make any kind of impression, but concluded: "I don't think you are going to get every one (signings) right.
"I'd say every manager, even the greats, has made a mistake or two along the way. It's not worked out. That's all I can say.
"Mo needs to go out and play football because it's going to be restrictive for him here."
Another young striker, Bahrudin Atajic, has been sent out on loan to Shrewsbury.
But Lennon confirmed neither Teemu Pukki nor Amido Balde would be offered the same chance to go in search in regular football.
The Finnish striker has already played for two teams this season, so would have a very limited choice of clubs where Fifa rules would allow him to play in the same year.
Pukki could find himself back in the starting XI tomorrow against Hibs because Anthony Stokes is suspended.
Balde is also in contention, and Lennon is prepared to continue to work with the
22-year-old brought in from Portugal last summer.
Georgios Samaras and Derk Boerrigter are both fit once again and in contention to return at Easter Road, while Stefan Johansen will also be in the squad.
But James Forrest is a doubt with a slight groin strain.
Lennon predicts a warm reception and, as they look to make it 22 games unbeaten in the league, said: "The longer we go unbeaten, every team will want to be the one to take our scalp. So there's plenty of challenges and motivation for us."

January 21, 2009
Today, January 21st, is the two year anniversary of our Dad passing away. We don't want to talk about recipes or beauty products, or anything trivial today. We would just like to reflect on what all has happened in these past two years. On one hand, it seems like only yesterday, and on the other hand, it seems like a lifetime ago. It's been a rough two years, but we all know that he is in a better place, and that he is at peace!
I've had several friends ask to see the tattoo that I got on the inside of my arm in Daddy's memory, but I've never really thought that there was an appropriate time to share it on this blog. But, today might just be the right day to share it. Here's the memorial tattoo that I got last summer for D.
John 11:25 says:
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
We all miss our Dad terribly, and SisMama misses the love of her life more than anything. Today we send a big hug out to each other, to SisMama, BDot, BooBoo and all the rest of our family and friends.

Bring on the chickens.
After months of sometimes heated debate, the Glenwood City Council has passed the final reading of an ordinance that will allow city residents to raise chickens in their back yards. The final vote on the ordinance passed by a 3-2 margin at the council's regular meeting Tuesday, Oct. 11. Council members Craig Florian, Jessie Lundvall and Jeremy Rodman voted "yes" on the measure, with Susan Hirschman and Dan McComb opposed.
The Glenwood City Council has been asked to consider funding a comprehensive hotel market study for a possible "upper midscale hotel" to be located within the city limits.
Mills County Economic Development Director Rick Allely presented a seven-page written proposal to council members at their regular meeting Sept. 27 on behalf of Wisconsin-based Hospitality Marketer's International, Inc. (HMI), a firm that has been contacted about conducting a market study in Glenwood for a potential hotel developer.
In 12 years of growing grapes, Doug Grave has never seen a more bountiful crop than what's been harvested from his family's Bodega Victoriana vineyard over the past two months.
"This year, we're having a bumper crop – probably the best crop we've ever had," Grave said during a recent interview. "We're having a bumper crop with every variety, except for one of the 12 that we grow."
A petition signed by more than 200 residents wasn't enough to stop the Glenwood City Council from passing the second reading of an ordinance that will allow citizens to harbor chickens and have chicken coops within the city limits.
Mills County native John Scherle was recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Award during the Iowa Rock 'n Roll Music Association's Hall of Fame induction last month in Arnolds Park. The Labor Day Weekend event, which included music performed by IRRMA Hall of Fame inductees, took place at the Iowa Rock 'n Roll Museum.
"It was quite an honor," Scherle said. "Bill Hillman of Shenandoah is on the board of the IRRMA and he nominated me. I am grateful to him for doing that."
Early voting is under way in Iowa for the Nov. 8 general election.
The first Mills County ballot of the 2016 general election was cast Thursday morning at the Mills County Auditor's Office by Glenwood resident Jackie Blasdel.
Early voting will be taking place during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.) at the county auditor's office until Monday, Nov. 7. The office will also be open for voting on Saturday, Oct. 29 and Saturday, Nov. 5 from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Senior citizens in Glenwood have a new gathering place to call their own.
The Bloom Senior Center officially opened Monday morning at 20 N. Vine St., on the northeast corner of Town Square.
"You're at home as soon as you walk in," former Senior Center manager and longtime volunteer Ted Smith said.
A new outreach program in the Glenwood Community School District is seeking to bridge the gap between families, the schools and the community.
Queen Jillian Finnegan and King Mavrick Decker were crowned royalty Saturday night during the annual Glenwood Community High School Homecoming Coronation ceremony in the school gymnasium.
Saturday night's coronation capped off the school's week long homecoming celebration, which included a pep rally, parade and dance.
With nearly 80 percent of the capital campaign goal reached, proponents of the proposed Glen Haven Village skilled nursing center are increasingly optimistic the $3.2 million project will become a reality.

text: Marshall football: Herd not looking to repeat history By Derek Redd October 5, 2012 Story Share HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- Marshall guard John Bruhin got the first hint that last season's game at Tulsa might take some unexpected turns when he wasn't able to make turns on his ankle."I tried to get out on a screen one time and that's when I realized I was a step slower," the sixth-year player said. "I couldn't make the cuts I was trying to make."He watched from the sidelines as then-starting quarterback A.J. Graham left the game in the second quarter with a dislocated shoulder. And he watched as the Thundering Herd imploded into bickering and finger pointing while the Golden Hurricane sprinted away with a 59-17 win.The Herd (2-3, 1-0 Conference USA) will guard against that when Tulsa visits Saturday at 3:30 p.m. (CBS Sports Network)."That's never anything to be around," the 6-foot-5, 312-pound Bruhin said. "Sometimes that stuff snowballs. As a leader, that's one of the things you have to try to look for. When stuff does start going downhill, you have to make everybody get level-headed again and realize that stuff's going to happen."By the second quarter of last season's game, it was out of reach. Tulsa owned a 42-3 halftime lead and blistered the Herd for 682 yards, the most Marshall has allowed in one game since it joined the Football Bowl Subdivision. And when the contest got out of hand, tensions began to boil over.Defensive end Jeremiah Taylor said it was tough to clash with the Hurricane when the Marshall players were clashing with each other."The offense wasn't good," Taylor said. "The defense wasn't good. That was a game where we were going back and forth. After a certain point, we just lost it and couldn't get it back." Marshall wide receiver Aaron Dobson remembered - and not fondly - the way the team struggled against Tulsa and against its own frustrations."It's hard to win like that," he said. "When things start going wrong on the field, other players can't start pointing fingers and start arguing back and forth with each other. We're all a team, so just have to get it together."But Dobson doesn't see that happening with this year's team. After all, the Herd could have collapsed last week after falling behind four touchdowns at halftime versus Purdue.Yet Marshall rallied to make it a game, losing 51-41."I feel like our team is to the point right now where we've got each other's back," he said. "We're just feeding off each other and that helps a lot."The Herd faces a Tulsa team with nearly as much potential for yards and points as it did last year. The Hurricane (4-1, 2-0 C-USA) is tops in the conference in scoring (42 points per game) and rushing (244.8 yards per game). It's also C-USA's top total defense (338 yards allowed per game) and rushing defense (104.6 yards allowed per game), a stout foe for quarterback Rakeem Cato and Marshall's offense, ranked third in the FBS in passing, averaging 394.6 yards per game."We have to stay in the moment," Taylor said. "They're a good team. They're going to make some good plays, too. We just have to make sure we do stay in the moment, and play with confidence."
