"After the success of bottling our signature cold brew, we are excited to introduce a premium RTD iced espresso that can be enjoyed anywhere. It was not easy to craft a canned shelf-stable coffee that is worthy of Alfred Peet's name. We focused on sourcing high-quality, clean ingredients and fine-tuning the production method to ensure a creamy coffee experience on par with the iced espresso beverages handcrafted by Peet's baristas. By using better ingredients, our Peet's True Iced Espresso has twenty-five percent fewer calories per ounce and forty percent less sugar per ounce than the category leader, making it the perfect coffee for on the go."

About Peet's Coffee:
Peet's Coffee® is a U.S. specialty coffee company founded by Alfred Peet in 1966 in Berkeley, California. Mr. Peet grew up in the coffee trade and moved to America from Holland after World War II. His coffee style was unlike anything Americans had ever tasted before—small batches, fresh beans and a superior quality roast that is rich and complex. Mr. Peet's influence on the artisan coffee movement inspired a new generation of coffee entrepreneurs, including the founders of Starbucks. Today, Peet's upholds its commitment to delivering a premium product by continuing to source the world's best beans, hand-roast in small batches, and craft every beverage by hand. Peet's also asserts a strict standard of freshness to ensure optimum flavor with a team that personally vets the freshness date on every bag and on every ready-to-drink coffee (RTD) available at over 15,000 grocery locations. Peet's is dedicated to growing its business through its retail, grocery, wholesale and e-commerce channels while maintaining the superior quality of its coffee and RTD beverages. Peet's is also proud of its status as the first LEED® Gold certified roastery in the United States. For more information, visit www.peets.com.

age, Celine Dion, Love, People, relationship, Sexuality, till death do us part, Woman
What I truly dislike are small-minded people who say age differences should be considered when it comes to relationships. Yes a man should not date a minor and from the viewpoint of a woman I personally feel a woman shouldn't date younger than herself, we don't need more Moores!
My father is much much MUCH older than my mother, my grandfather was 23 years older than grandmother… Celine Dion seems very happy..
Today a young woman can't logically from the viewpoint of others fall madly head over heels for a man twice her age without being called a gold digger.. Okay yes today's society every woman has a price, it could even be half a cigarette and their hopping…… But can't some women's price be returned love.
Have we fallen so lack mentally that determining the quality and blatant intentions of a person regarding their relationship is too much for our capacity.
Till this day I have not found my self mentally attracted to anyone less than twice my age and even that is still unfulfilling, and Gods know a handsome face or built body easily decays at a far faster rate than the mind. Even money can be as water in an open hand, intangible and undependable.. So can't a girl truly fall for someone and it be purely based for a quick mind, a dashing sentence, a kiss of properly put words and there and then irrevocably and irresistibly fall for the man regardless of his age, his social position, his excess or lack of but for him.
Unfortunately to many unintelligent opportunists "I'm a model" who has absolutely nothing to offer of value, bought a little of the poor man's rich and ruined it for all the sincere properly brought up young women who don't need a man to help make their lives but rather who chose a man to share their lives with, a man whom they will find solace and feel safe, a man who has been around the block and is ready to settle and finally make the famous words "till death do is part" come true.
Age has no value when it comes to the heart! We are dictated/instructed of what is socially correct by a world that is morally corrupt; no respect for people, religion, politics, our bodies, sex, love, morals but God forbid we do the atrocious sin to fall in love with someone older than ourselves. We don't die with a number; we die holding the hand of the one single person in the world who fills our heart with joy.
"Love has no age, no limits; and no death."
– John Galsworthy

Metro Creative Graphics has another reason to celebrate in 2010. In addition to marking its 100th anniversary, the company made history in a different way upon learning that its catalog of advertising art from 1937 had been accepted into the permanent collection of the Newseum in Washington, D.C. While the catalog does not include the oldest examples of Metro art — which date back to 1910, the year Metro was founded — the donation represents the first year for which the entire Metro catalog still exists. Known as the city's most interactive museum, the Newseum is the destination for experiencing news and the history of news first-hand. With its seven levels of galleries, theaters, retail spaces, and visitor services, the Newseum showcases all sides of the news — from how and why news is made to the media that have evolved for communicating it.
Carrie Christoffersen, Curator of Collections for the Newseum, notes that the addition of Metro's historic advertising art will help to round out the museum's collection of newspaper and news-related artifacts, memorabilia, and technology. "We have a very eclectic collection," she explains, "starting with 250,000 or more photojournalism photos, 35,000 print news items, and 10,000 three-dimensional news-related objects. Through our collections, we trace how news has been conveyed from the dawn of printing to the modern day and, in particular, look at all of the different ways that newspapers have presented all elements of the news and other newspaper content. The addition of Metro's advertising art is a great opportunity to add to our collection in an area that we are exploring and expanding."
For Metro, the opportunity to contribute to the Newseum's vast assemblage of news- and newspaper-related images would have been an honor at any juncture, but the invitation was particularly sweet because it occurred during the company's commemoration of its 100th anniversary.
"Advertising has complemented the editorial side of the business and has always been a key to the success and survival of newspapers, so we are honored that Metro's 1937 catalog is among the building blocks of the Newseum's collection of advertising art," says Metro President and CEO Robert Zimmerman. "And the timing couldn't have been better since the Newseum's invitation coincided with our celebration of Metro's 100th year of our family-owned and -operated business." Metro's long history of innovation mirrors the evolution of the newspaper industry, which is chronicled in the Newseum's collection and exhibits.
Debra Weiss, Metro's Executive Vice President, notes that, "With the emergence of digital media and the Internet, our industry has been radically transformed. The Newseum does an incredible job of not only looking back at the news and the news industry, but of looking at where things stand today and where news coverage and newspapers are headed in the future. We look forward to working with the Newseum as it continues those efforts and expands its exploration of the critical role that advertising has played in the news industry."
Headquartered in New York City, Metro Creative Graphics, Inc. is a family-owned and -operated business serving clients in all 50 states, throughout Canada, and in many foreign markets.

BTCC Round 9 - Silverstone
Silverstone played host this weekend to the penultimate round of the 2018 British Touring Car Championship.
The weekend started off in fantastic fashion on Saturday as after a long wait all season, mountune-powered Tordoff finally clinched pole position for Race 1, with Chilton just behind in P3.
The opening race saw Chilton make a manoeuvre straight off the blocks in his #3 Focus RS, getting up to P2 where he stayed close to his teammate throughout the race. Tordoff maintained his lead to cross the line in 1st with a perfect lights to flag win, his maiden victory for the team and is named the record breaking 15th race winner of this years campaign. mountune-powered Chilton also maintains his position taking P2, making it his 5th podium win of the season and the teams first 1-2 finish since Thruxton 2010.
The celebrations continued into Race 2 where Tordoff took another podium step, this time in P3 with max ballast on board. Chilton crossed in P13 with Cole in P28, both running hard tyres.
After the reverse grid draw, Tordoff started in P5 for the final race of the penultimate round but with 57Kg on-board and running the hard tyre, he took P14 at the flag. Chilton did well to climb the grid, battling to keep his championship hopes alive and finished the day in P6, with teammate #20 Cole ending the race day in P20.
After points gained this weekend, Chilton currently sits in 3rd in the championship table, 2nd in the Indy Drivers with Team Shredded Wheat with Gallagher also in 2nd in the Indy Teams standings.
We look forward to the final race at Motorbase Performance' home track, Brands Hatch in 2 weeks time.
ERX Round 5 - Latvia
This weekend saw the final race of the 2018 European Rallycross Championship held at the Bikernieki National Sports Base in Latvia, with mountune-powered JC Raceteknik and Derek Tohill lining the grid.
Q1 saw JC's Bryntesson finish the quickest out of the mountune-powered drivers, taking P6 however some technical issues meant he dropped back in Q2 and Q3, taking P23 and P20 respectively. However Q4 saw him make a comeback earning himself a place in the Semi Finals, where he finished in 6th missing out on a Final spot.
Teammate Froshaug wasn't as fortunate taking P17, P13, P16 and P21 in the qualifying sessions, missing out on a spot in the Semi's, ending his day after Q4.
Irish Rallycross star, Tohill, who missed Round 6 of the IRX this weekend to take a spot in the ERX final also missed out on a Semi Final place after suffering steering and gearbox issues.
The 2018 championship finishes with Bryntesson in 4th place, Tohill in 14th and Froshaug in 15th. We look forward to continuing to follow these mountune-powered drivers in their remaining Nordic and Irish Rallycross rounds.

To celebrate Dia de los Muertos without food would be impossible, as tradition calls for offering favorite dishes to departed loved ones. Chef Agustín Gaytán showed a little of what goes into these gifts at a Nov. 2 celebration hosted by Fresh Starts Chef Events.
A native of San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, the chef grew up in a large family where everyone cooperated to make meals. His mother and grandmother imbued a love for food that led Chef Agustín to run a catering company and a restaurant before discovering his spark in teaching others to cook.
His recipes for the authentic mole sauce and tamales require a long list of ingredients — chiles, seeds, herbs and spices that must be roasted, grilled, toasted and/or ground — and multiple steps to completion. Many home cooks might not tackle them, but learning the effort required made each dish all the more tasty.
His menu began with Cebiche Estilo Yucatan Mini-Tostadas using calamari, scallops and halibut. By marinating 1½ to 2 hours in lime juice, the chef denatures the protein and "cooks" the fish. Salt, olive oil, tomatoes, habanero chiles, onion, cilantro and mango are added after the lime juice is drained.
The chef uses stale tortillas to cut small circles for the mini-tostadas, frying them to crispness. The fresh, tropical flavors made a perfect opening for the complex mole to follow.
Mole Negro Oaxaqueño con Guajolote, one of Oaxaca's signature dishes, requires commitment of time and labor. The spice and herb mix lists 15 ingredients, which combine with chiles, chocolate and other ingredients for a unique and delicious taste. The chef prepared it with turkey; chicken can be substituted.
Tamales con Chiles, Vegetales & Queso, served alongside the turkey and mole sauce, also involves a lot of prep time, including 30 minutes to steam the tamales once they're made. Chef Agustín demonstrated how to roast chiles over a gas flame; he said they can also be cooked on an electric range in a sauté pan, moving the pan constantly.
Because queso fresco, a fresh cheese, does not melt, the chef advises mixing it with Monterey jack or Oaxaca cheese. His list of vegetables includes shiitake mushrooms, carrots and zucchini, but he says any vegetables can be used.
For dessert, Chef Agustín turned his attention to Flan de Chocolate y Café, and promptly demonstrated why devoted attention is important — his milk mixture boiled over. He reminded guests that just below boiling is the optimum point. He goes an extra step to ensure a smooth texture by straining the flan before baking to remove any egg solids.
With each forkful, guests had an appreciation for the planning and care expended to honor loved ones at Dia de los Muertos. In this case, students and staff at Fresh Starts Culinary Academy prepared the recipes for guests with sponsorship from The Republic of Tea, which also provided iced tea at each table.

Flan de Chocolate y Café – Serves 6
1 cup espresso or 2 tablespoons instant coffee
½ cup cocoa powder
¾ cup sugar
3 cups milk
½ cup half and half
1½ teaspoons vanilla
¼ teaspoon salt
4 whole eggs
3 egg yolks
Coffee liqueur, such as Kahlúa, if desired
Preheat oven to 350°F. To make the caramel, heat the ½ cup sugar in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until it turns dark brown and turns into caramel–about 2 minutes. Pour the caramel over the bottom of the baking dish or ramekins.
In the saucepan, combine coffee, cocoa powder, milk, half and half, vanilla, the remaining sugar, and salt. Bring to a slow boil over medium heat and cook for 15 minutes, stirring from time to time to prevent the milk from boiling over or scorching on the bottom. Cool for 15 minutes.
Thoroughly beat the eggs and egg yolks in a bowl. Gradually add the egg to the warm milk mixture while constantly whisking.
Pour the mixture into a 1½-quart baking dish, cover with foil, and bake in a hot water bath for about 1½ hours or until flan is firm around the sides of the mold and a thin knife inserted off-center comes out clean. Chill at least three hours before serving.
To serve: Invert the baking dish or ramekins onto a serving plate. To each serving with 1-2 teaspoons of coffee liqueur if desired.

To date, the fitness industry is experiencing a peak in its development, now it has become fashionable to go to the gym, but very many people do not even think about safety in it, thereby exposing their health to dangers, and the elementary ridicule of an athlete with "experience".
Surely you saw on YouTube, funny videos dedicated to fitness rooms, where a certain athlete gets stuck under a barbell or in a machine, or maybe you did not even understand this, because you yourself do not know how to behave properly in the gym, what is allowed and what not to do, how to get help from a particular trainer, what clothes you should wear when engaging working out.
But most importantly, this is your health, which no one except yourself will take care of, therefore, observe safety techniques, first and foremost so as to not harm your body, joints, ligaments, tendons, and not to injure others.
Safety in the Gym
And now we will pass to the general moments of safety in an exercise room:
- You should not smell bad so take deodorant, shampoo, a towel, and slippers for a shower.
- A person consists of 70% water, so it's extremely important to have a bottle of clean water(0.5-1.5 liters), otherwise, dehydration will begin, the blood will thicken, the heart will beat more often, the water-salt balance will also be violated, which can break the neuromuscular connection. Then you simply will not have the strength to continue exercising.
- Clothes should be clean, not torn, and comfortable, during exercise, there should be no discomfort, clothes should not restrain movement, do not wear synthetic clothing, the skin should breathe. For classes, it's best to use shorts that are tight or loose, depending on your preference, and a tank top or t-shirt, but not a warm jacket. Girls, we recommend, clothes specially designed for training in the gym: for the bottom – leggings, shorts, pants, for the top – a shirt, T-shirt, sports bra, you can buy in any sports shop, for example, in a sportsmaster.
- Wear sneakers in the gym, but not sandals or flip-flops. Already many athletes have suffered from flip flops, they are slippery, the ankle does not fix, as a result, the joint shifts, all this leads inevitably to injury. Shoes, as well as clothes, are best purchased in a sports store, and not in a department store, where the quality is lower.
- Do not just wander around the gym, find a fitness instructor, ask him to draw up a training plan, ask him to show the technique of performing the exercises you are interested in.
- Do not forget to disassemble the bar correctly, you should not take more than 1-2 weights from each side at a time, otherwise, there will be an imbalance, and you or others are injured.
- Do not disturb others in the gym, first of all, this is: when a person does the exercise, do not approach and do not ask "how much longer", as soon as the occupant has finished the approach, ask, in addition, do not "hover"in the background, while the athletes are working out, this is very distracting, does not allow them to fully concentrate on doing the exercise.
- Before training, always perform a warm-up, if necessary, use warming ointments. Cold muscles and ligaments are very easily injured. The warm-up in the gym should not only be before the beginnings of all exercises, but also before the beginning of the basic (working) approach in the exercise, that is, if you perform bench press lying on a horizontal bench, 4 sets of 8 times with a weight of 80 kg, then the warm-up will look like this: 1х15 – empty bar, 1х12 – 40 kg, 1х10 – 50 kg, 1х8 – 60 kg, 1х6 – 70 kg, working approaches 4х8 – 80 kg.

Do not forget about stretching of the muscles after training. This helps to restore them as soon as possible, also increases the muscle strength and growth potential (the more the muscle stretches, the more it contracts, which means that the greater the training effect will be from the exercise).
draw your attention to the warm-up and the cool-down, this is what so many, and beginners and even experienced athletes neglect in the gym, thereby subjecting their musculoskeletal system, muscles to various injuries, ranging from stretching the muscle fibers, ending with a complete detachment of the tendon. Run for weight loss, because running is safe to exercise.
Rules of conduct in the gym
- According to tradition, in the gym, one should not step over the barbell. This can be perceived as a gesture of disrespect.
- A gym is a public place, respect yourself and others, behave with dignity, do not make noise, do not talk too loudly
- Having started independent studies on the equipment, pay attention to the correctness of the technique of execution, you can learn it from the coach, or from a more experienced athlete, and also in our section of the exercise. Otherwise, the likelihood of injury is great, despite the fact that modern fitness equipment of the gyms, compared to the "rusty iron" rockers of the 90s, is quite safe.
- After completing the exercise, you should pull out the rod and remove the plates hung on the machine/bar if they were used, put dumbbells/weights back in place).
- When you visit the gym, you may encounter one common problem encountered by exercisers and trainers. Be sure to ask, whether it's ok to use or disassemble fitness equipment. If not, there will be complete confusion and conflicts.
How to start if you are a newbie in the gym?
Strength training of beginners in the gym can be full of mistakes and problems, which can lead to injury and zero results. Therefore, you need to properly approach your training process.
We also recommend: How to speed up the metabolism?
Below are some guidelines that will help you understand how to start building your workouts in the gym:
- Find yourself a training program with a detailed description, which will clearly describe the recommendations for the choice of working weight on the bar, relaxation between the approaches and the duration of the training, of course, based on its purpose (mass gain, muscle toning, increased endurance, strength increase, weight loss, increase in aerobic endurance)
- Learn the technique of performing exercises that occur in the chosen training program
- Adjust your meal plan, in favor of increasing/decreasing caloric content, and in choosing the right, healthy foods that form the basis of a healthy diet
- Purchase a sports bag with which you will go to the gym, it must be big enough to hold water, a change of clothes and shoes, optional soap supplies/sports nutrition/bandages / warming-up ointment.
- Any training should start with a warm-up (performing an exercise with a very lightweight for you, treadmill, exercise bikes, etc.), in order to avoid injury during training.
On this list of basic safety requirements and rules of staying in the gym ends.

MORELIA, Mexico - From afar it seems like Baghdad: car bombs, beheadings and corrupt politicians.
Up close, Mexico remains magical and picturesque in parts, feeling oddly safe even in the hardest-fought territories of the drug war.
The 8th annual International Film Festival opened Saturday in the drug-plagued state of Michoacan to its largest turnout ever, drawing the contrast that defines Mexico today.
Only blocks from the site where a 2008 grenade attack killed eight people, hundreds lined the red carpet to squeal at one of Hollywood's leading men, Oscar-winning Spanish actor Javier Bardem. Unlike the Jonas Brothers in the drug-war-ravaged city of Monterrey, no one canceled - organizers say - for a festival that also features Hollywood blockbuster director Robert Rodriguez and Monty Python funnyman-turned-director Terry Gilliam.
"I'm waiting to see the bad side of Morelia," Gilliam told reporters Sunday. "Since I've been in Morelia, I've been blown away by the architecture. It's such a beautiful place."
Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, whose film "Biutiful" starring Bardem opened the festival, acknowledged to a full auditorium in cocktail attire that his homeland is seeing a difficult time.
He told The Associated Press on Sunday that violence in Mexico appears to be out control. But culture and education are very powerful weapons in the war against it.
"These are very powerful acts of resistance. I think the seed or the root of what we're experiencing is a lack of education ... the lack of opportunity for millions of Mexicans," the director of "Babel" and "Amores Perros" said.
"So to talk about movies, the festival of Morelia and to support filmmakers and Mexican cinema as way to understand ourselves is a very important weapon ... to have places where people can speak, think about the important things we have lost perspective on in the desperation we all confront."
The home state of President Felipe Calderon, Michoacan is the first place he sent troops after taking office and announcing a crackdown on organized crime. It's a state largely controlled by the vicious yet devout La Familia (the Family) cartel, which made its debut by tossing heads onto a disco floor in 2006 in Uruapan, a city just 60 miles (100 kilometers) from the state capital, Morelia.
Politicians are under attack, on the take or both as the Calderon government arrested 35 state public officials last year on charges of ties to La Familia, only to suffer the embarrassment of seeing a judge release all but one for lack of evidence. Michoacan's sitting congressman, under indictment for aiding La Familia, sneaked into his swearing-in to gain immunity awarded to elected officials in Mexico.
Last week a radio station aired a recorded telephone call allegedly between the lawmaker and the leader of La Familia, Servando Gomez, known as "La Tuta."
Meanwhile, people linger in Morelia's sidewalk cafes and stroll the sandstone archways and cobblestone streets doused in temperature-perfect sunshine.
The festival was heavily patrolled by soldiers in 2008 and 2009 after the grenade attack, but none are visible this year.
"Our life is normal," said resident Salvador Diaz, 32, who took a spin with his motorcycle club Saturday afternoon before escorting his wife to the festival opening. "The people of Michoacan are very hardworking. No, our political and security situation are not adequate, but we're moving forward."
The festival has been a chance to show another face of Mexico and another family of Michoacan: Cuauhtemoc Cardenas, grandson of beloved, iron-fisted President Lazaro Cardenas, is vice president of the festival. He inaugurated the renovated Teatro Emperador Caltzontzin in nearby Patzcuaro on Friday night with a showing of the 1948 Mexican classic, "Maclovia," starring Maria Felix in a story about the virtues of the indigenous people of Michoacan.
Cardenas called it a special place because on the same date 72 years ago, his grandfather, who was president from 1936 to 1940, opened the theater for the first time.
His father, former presidential candidate and Mexico City Mayor Cuauhtemoc Cardenas, also attended the opening events.
"In some small towns, daily life is ruled by organized crime," he said. "But that's not the case in cities like Morelia. With cultural events like this, the atmosphere is calm and comfortable."
The festival continues to climb the ladder of prestige as it seeks to sit beside Sundance, Toronto and Cannes with 270 entries this year and 500 invited guests, including about 100 foreignors - more than in the past.
Starting three years ago, its prizewinning short films have been eligible to compete for Oscars.
"I think with Telluride in the U.S., this is the best festival in the world," said Hollywood producer Michael Fitzgerald, who has been a juror and shown films at the festival, such as "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada" starring Tommy Lee Jones.

EDIT 2/3/2013: I didn't think about posting this here. 😀 CAMPUS SAFARI IS UPDATING in it's own area HERE! You can also view it here where all the Cyantian pages update!
– Tiff
Comics for March 28, 2008 – 03/28/2008 – Wow. 725 strips. Campus Safari has ended in this incarnation. It began a LONG time ago as one of my first comics and I want to redo it with better art and updated writing.
I had to stop doing it primarily to avoid 'fixing' events in Akaelae and closing off avenues of story that I may want to change and well.. I don't really intend to CHANGE the majority of Campus Safari. I intend to ADD to it!

Advanced Grant of the European Research Council (ERC)
The deep-sea floor covers 67% of the Earth's surface, and is in most places characterized by cold temperatures, permanent darkness, high pressure and food limitation. The surface sediments host a distinct microbial biome, which is dominated by bacteria with on average a billion cells per milliliter. Benthic bacteria are highly relevant to the Earth's element cycles as they remineralize most of the organic matter sinking from the productive surface ocean, and return nutrients, thereby promoting ocean primary production. What passes the bacterial filter is a relevant sink for carbon on geological time scales, influencing global oxygen and carbon budgets, and fuelling the deep subsurface biosphere. Despite the relevance of deep-sea sediment bacteria to climate, geochemical cycles and ecology of the seafloor, their genetic and functional diversity, niche differentiation and biological interactions remain unknown.
Within the ABYSS project, we want to develop a systematic understanding of abyssal sediment bacterial community distribution, diversity, function and interactions, by bridging biogeochemistry, ecology, microbiology and marine biology, and by combining in situ flux studies and different visualization techniques with a wide range of molecular tools. One of our main study sites is the LTER observatory HAUSGARTEN in Fram Strait.
The main tasks of the ABYSS are:
- to identify the most common bacterial taxa in deep-sea surface sediments and characterize their distribution in space and time. Classify organic matter size, age, and compound classes.
- to compare bacterial communities of surface sediments with those of sinking and suspended particles and those of subsurface sediments.
- to investigate which microbial taxa associate with freshly deposited algal detritus, how rapidly they respire and assimilate carbon, and which types of bacterial and molecular profiles remain in the aged particulate and organic matter.
- to measure variations in cell and community level element stoichiometry, carbon respiration, hydrolysis and assimilation efficiencies of a range of bacterial types by in situ incubation with isotope-labeled substrates.
- to improve insights into bacterial interactions with temporal and spatial variations in POC export, by using a modeling approach.
- to decipher the long-term fate of surface communities and deposited organic matter by high-resolution analysis of vertical sediment layers into the past/subsurface.
- to adapt and improve our existing deep-sea technology pool for targeted and quantitative biogeochemical sampling.

Kurt & Courtney is a 1998 documentary film by Nick Broomfield investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Kurt Cobain, and allegations of Courtney Love's involvement in it.
The documentary begins as an investigation of the circumstances surrounding Cobain's death and the theories which sprung up afterwards. Cobain was legally declared to have committed suicide but has been alleged by some who worked on the case, to have been murdered, in some allegations at Courtney Love's instigation.
As Broomfield investigates the claims surrounding Cobain's death, his emphasis moves from the murder theories and onto an investigation of Love herself, including an accusation that she supports the suppression of free speech, and her fame after Cobain's death.
The film was due to play the Sundance Film Festival but Love threatened to sue the festival's organizers if they screened the film. Broomfield removed all of Nirvana's music and replaced it with music from bands mainly from the Seattle area. However, when shown on the BBC, the film contained Nirvana's 1991 performance of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" from Top of the Pops.
While the initial focus of the film was to explore the possible murder of Cobain, Courtney Love's refusal to license any of Cobain's music and her unwillingness to speak on camera was used by Broomfield as evidence of her censorship of free speech.
Because of Love's refusal to license Nirvana's music for the project, Nick Broomfield was forced to use various other bands from the Pacific Northwest. Notable amongst these were Zeke, the Dwarves, Rozz Rezabek and the Theater of Sheep, and Earth.
The film begins with a recap of Cobain's death and the media coverage which followed. Broomfield then interviews Cobain's aunt Mari who helped his love for music when he was a child. This interview is followed up with several from friends and schoolteachers who knew Cobain when he was growing up before moving onto Cobain's relationship with Courtney Love.
After establishing the background the film moves on to detail the accusations that Cobain was murdered. Broomfield interviews Tom Grant, a private investigator who has alleged that Love may have conspired to kill her husband, and wants the case re-opened by the Seattle Police Department. Grant was hired by Love, but thinks it was just so people would believe that she was innocent. Hank Harrison, Courtney Love's father, is interviewed, and states he also believes that Cobain may have been killed in a conspiracy organised by Love. He has written two books about Cobain's death.
The film also includes interviews with Portland drug culture celeb and former stripper, Amy Squier, about her explicit and personal knowledge of Kurt and Courtney's heroin use, and an interview with punk singer El Duce (real name Eldon Wayne Hoke), who claimed that Love offered him $50,000 to kill Cobain. El Duce claimed in the film that he knew who killed Cobain, but said he would "let the FBI catch him." Two days after that interview was filmed, El Duce was killed when he was hit by a train.
Broomfield also shows an interview with Al Bowman, a minor Hollywood promoter, along with Norm Lubow (in disguise and using the alias "Jack Briggs"). Both introduced Broomfield to Eldon Hoke.
The film also includes an interview with musician and friend of Cobain's Dylan Carlson, who had bought the shotgun that Cobain eventually used to kill himself.
Broomfield eventually moves away from the alleged conspiracy and the film turns into an investigation of Courtney Love's alleged suppression of free speech. Included in the film are phone calls from MTV saying that they were pulling out of financing the film (which was completed thanks to financing from private investors and the BBC), due to presumed pressure from Love.
There is also an interview with journalist Victoria Clarke (who wrote the book Nirvana: Flower Sniffin', Kitty Pettin', Baby Kissin' Corporate Rock Whores with Britt Collins) about how Love and Cobain had threatened her while doing research for her book on Cobain and Nirvana. Broomfield includes clips in the film of the threats made by Cobain and Clarke details the story of Love assaulting her.
The film concludes with Broomfield taking the stage at an ACLU meeting (where Love is a guest speaker) to publicly question Love about her attempts to suppress free speech and the irony of her representing the ACLU. He is pulled from the stage by Danny Goldberg, Cobain's former manager.
Riding a wave of controversy, Kurt & Courtney opened in one North American theatre on 27 February 1998, where it grossed $16,835 in its opening weekend. The film's final $668,228 gross was respectable considering the film's limited release (only 12 theatres at its widest point), independent distribution, documentary nature, and mixed reviews.

Graham Cooper (formerly an HBPT Trustee, currently part of the Rebuild Group) posted this on the "official" Pier Trust Facebook site:
Dear All,
Many of you will have no doubt seen the reports in the papers this week. Sadly the rebuild group were not asked for any comment or given the opportunity to repond by the Times. Here is a copy of a letter we sent to the Gazette, when they did ask us for comment.
The volunteers on the rebuild group are shocked to discover that the Trustees had already decided as early as February 2012 that their preferred option was a gradual rebuild and not the pier/marina proposal. Neither we nor the membership have been informed of this, even at the November AGM. We are also very disappointed at the rather sensationalist headlines in last week's HB Times and more recently the rather confused and unclear letter sent to pier trust members this week, both of which state a number of assumptions and figures which are taken out of context and both of which conveniently leave out the projected £18million injection into the local economy that would result from the pier/marina.
We have offered on a number of occasions to respond to any trustees queries in order to clarify what the report is saying. The Trustees have had the report since last November! However before we had a chance to respond to the concerns expressed by the Chair of the Trust, she has informed us that she will not communicate any further with us until she has sent a letter to members and presumably got their feed- back.
We are very concerned that last week's story and the Trust Chair's recent letter to members are giving a very one sided view of things and as a we are effectively unable to communicate our response to members in any other way, in the next week or so we will be publishing an open letter, providing a fuller response to concerns raised.
But for now, it is important to convey a few key messages to members and the public alike. Firstly, the Collier report is intended to offer a workable solution for a rebuilt pier and to demonstrate business viability. It is designed as a conceptual report and certainly not definitive in any particular detail. The report does offer an excellent insight into what is feasible and we should remember that Collier are one of the top three property and destinations experts in the world, that is why we hired them.
Secondly, we are puzzled as to the motive and timing behind these recent stories and the Chair's letter to members and refusal to communicate further with the rebuild team. This all certainly flies in the face of Doreen Stone's comments of the Trust's Facebook page last November:
"the Trust's Board is more stable at this time than it has been for a long time with ex-trustees and current trustees working together on options for the future of the pier. Two weeks ago we had a very friendly and useful meeting with John Gilbey, Leader of Canterbury City Council, who remarked on the unity of our team. There is a great deal of hard work and cooperation going on at present".
As far as we can see the only thing that has changed since last November is the excellent publicity and supporters that the pier/marina idea has attracted, why this should present the Trust with a problem we fail to understand.

Prince the cat's life is saved after hit and run accident in East Ham
PUBLISHED: 09:00 15 June 2012
Quick-thinking by the RSPCA and two community support officers has saved the life of a cat that was the victim of a hit and run car accident.
Quick-thinking by the RSPCA and two community support officers has saved the life of a cat that was the victim of a hit and run car accident.
The lovely little pale tabby and white cat was run over in High Street North, East Ham.
Lorna Gowers from the London East RSPCA branch was driving along the road when she saw the cat bring up blood and being cared for by two community support officers.
"There was not much time to act. Knowing how short staffed the RSPCA is and the time it would have taken me to take him to them, I decided to take him to a 24-hour vets.
"I could hear the difficulty he was having breathing and I thought he might die before I go to the veterinary hospital," said Lorna.
The "lovely boy" was put on oxygen and it was touch and go but now, nicknamed Prince because of the Royal Jubilee celebrations, he had has a broken jaw wired together and is hopefully on the road to recovery.
Prince is in foster care with Lorna.
"He will need to have the wired jaw operated on again in six to eight weeks. He has also been neutered. No owner has come forward despite an onlooker saying that they thought knew who the owner was. As a result this cat will now go up for homing.
"The driver who ran the cat over didn't stop. If the community support officers had not protected the cat from being run over again he could have been killed.
"Treatment such as this cat received can cost up to £1,000. The RSPCA East London Branch does not have funds to treat every cat that gets run over ."
She appealed to cat owners to have their cat micro-chipped.
"If they are not we cannot contact owners and there is a risk that the cat will have to be put to sleep because there is no money to treat it.
" It is very common for male cats who are not neutered/sterilised to end up in road traffic accidents. Neutering/sterilising male cats can prevent these sometimes fatal accidents. Microchipping a cat means we can contact you if your cat is lost or injured."

text: Hey All I currently have a HR24 but would like to upgrade to multiple receivers for MRV. I'm looking at one for each TV so 8 units. I'm also having a Crestron system retrofitted into my house. I received a quote for $35,000 just for the DM video matrix. I figure using multiple receivers will be cheaper in the short & long run. I plan on centrally stacking all of the equipment. Crestron has an IP control driver for the HR24. I'll be using HDMI over IP adapters to get the signal to the TV. There will be a separate Crestron wireless subnet to get the remote control signals back to the equipment closet. Please correct me if I'm wrong but if I had 8 HR24s (or 7 with a HR34/HR44) then all recordings would show up on the universal recording list and any receiver could access any program stored on a different DVR. Should I be using all HR24 or combo of HR24 & HR34/44, or something else? My house has enterprise grade network equipment and multiple APs for wireless. I'd like to be able to use the internet DirecTV apps. With DECA and all, I'm having a hard time helping the installer plan everything out. I'd love some suggestions Thanks

Nonprofit We Are Enough Releases Study Recommending Creation of Women-Focused Hybrid Incubator in Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES / ACCESSWIRE / March 28, 2019 / We Are Enough (WAE), a fund of the Entertainment Industry Foundation, has completed a new JPMorgan Chase-funded feasibility study that recommends the creation of a Los Angeles-based, women-focused incubator called the Los Angeles Incubator and Accelerator (LAIA, pronounced Lay-uh). The study, Creating LAIA: The Feasibility of a Women-Focused Incubator and Accelerator in Los Angeles, highlights the need for a new hybrid organization that is both incubator and accelerator which will give crucial support to the growing number of women-owned businesses (WOBs) in the Los Angeles region. This feasibility study acts as a road map for next steps that includes creating a business plan and conducting further research on funding models and innovative programming.
"We are coming to the end of Women's History Month, but a month 'thinking of and honoring' women is not going to change the structural inequities female entrepreneurs face," says Tracy Gray, Founder of We Are Enough. "Women need sustained support that works for women. Men designed the present system and it works really well for them, but the numbers prove that the system does not work for the majority of women."
The study cites previous research underlying how U.S. WOBs are underfunded, causing 88 percent to never reach revenues over $100,000. Consequently, when female founders receive outside capital, they see 63 percent higher revenues than their male counterpoints. Creating LAIA notes that a further 90 percent of women's income goes back to their families and community, compared with 35 percent by men. If women received the same level of capital as men, research from Babson College projects that approximately six million jobs would be created, thus reducing the gender equity gap.
Creating LAIA
We Are Enough (WAE), a fund of the Entertainment Industry Foundation, has completed a new JPMorgan Chase-funded feasibility study that recommends the creation of a Los Angeles-based, women-focused incubator called the Los Angeles Incubator and Accelerator (LAIA, pronounced Lay-uh).
"Supporting women-led businesses and entrepreneurs is vital for sustainable job creation, economic growth and broader financial inclusion in our local communities," says Diedra Porche, Senior Vice President and Market Manager in Los Angeles for JPMorgan Chase. "The current direction of gender diversity across all levels of business needs to improve. Having strong-based support networks not only amplifies the successes of current women-led businesses , it also encourages more women to launch their own businesses."
"With my experience in the capital markets and after completing this study, it is apparent that the lack of capital for women business owners not only hurts the businesses but also the greater Los Angeles economy," states study author and WAE Executive Director, Delilah Panio. "To have the greatest impact, LAIA must include investment in these businesses."
The study also draws on earlier research from the 2012 U.S. Economic Census that found that 38 percent of Los Angeles County businesses are women-owned, the majority owned by women of color. Also according to the U.S. Census, the average revenues per LA WOB was just $142,378, with 90.5 percent being sole entrepreneurs with no paid employees. Creating LAIA concludes that combined with the national data, LA WOBs also rarely reach revenues over $100,000. Additionally, the study cites previous research that found that companies that went through an acceleration program raised eight times the amount of capital. However, women represent only 14 percent of the businesses in incubators and accelerator programs (I&As). For women of color, the numbers are substantially lower.
There are a variety of organizations, programs and co-working spaces that target WOBs in LA; for example, the Women's Founders Network (WFN). However, there is no formal acceleration program with a physical space that is comparable with those provided by legacy I&As. "The support and mentorship from WFN has enabled me to take my company to the next level," says Farah Allen, Founder & CEO of The Labz, a WFN Fast Pitch Finalist. "But more long term and sustained support and capital is what every entrepreneur needs but is elusive for women, especially women of color like me."
The study also recommends that LAIA include programming based on the best practices of incubators and accelerators nationally and internationally, and service businesses throughout all growth stages and industries. Most importantly, the new hybrid should be inclusive, attracting ethnically diverse women entrepreneurs by recruiting diverse leaders and partners.
"Women-focused programs are important because men have their own perceptions of women-owned businesses, meaning that they might think that some companies might not be needed," says Mattea Bellomo, who attends middle school and is a WFN Fast Pitch Junior Judge. "It's more motivating for women and girls to hear from other females about what can be done."
Although this study focuses on the LA region, Creating LAIA can be used as a foundation to create women-focused incubators anywhere.

Crosman is in unique company; since the NRA first included exhibits in 1949, of over 550 companies participating in the 2013 event, only 51 have 25 years or more of participation. "We support the NRA and its principles of responsible gun ownership, education and training. The NRA show is a chance to visit directly with shooting enthusiasts about today's airgun and airsoft products and no consumer event comes close to the attendance numbers of this show," said Mark DeBoard, Shooting Services Manager for Crosman. He was on hand to accept the award on behalf of Crosman during the 2013 event. This year the NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits set a new record with over 86,000 in attendance. The organization has five million members. What airguns were most popular among this year's NRA show attendees? "By far our line of hunting rifles under the Benjamin brand. We also had a lot of interest in our competition products, particularly the Challenger and MAR177 AR upper," said DeBoard. "The enthusiasm for these products was amazing. From those new to airguns who stopped to watch our in-booth hunting highlight reel, to long-time airgunners, and even those seeking an alternative to traditional firearms due to the ammunition shortage, the activity in the booth was non-stop," added DeBoard. Crosman's Shooting Services team is back on the road this week attending the world's largest archery competition: the National Archery in the Schools Program world championship in Louisville, Kentucky.
