"Cerian is absolutely phenomenal in her field. I have used professors from my University (USC) and her work goes far beyond that. Just as all the other reviews said, she is so so careful when it comes to detail. She worked right alongside helping me and guiding me on a research I was doing. The amount she charges doesn't even come close to her worth. Whatever the work may be, you might be able to stand out and shine, but she will make your work dazzle- the best. I can't wait to work with her again and see what other amazing things she can do in my writing. :)" Alexis Hay, May 2011
"I hadn't been planning to hire an editor to read my book, and had little time or money to commit for it. I asked for a "top level" review -- what works, what doesn't work, where can I cut, what do I need to add, etc. Cerian read the description of what I wanted, we discussed it, and she sent me a report of that type that she had written for someone else, which made clear she understood what I needed. She was also sensitive to my compressed time frame. Her final report definitely showed that she "got" it. I have already hired her a second time, this time to proofread the manuscript, and have referred one of my writer friends to her, without reservation. She is not only excellent at what she does, but cares about the work, itself, and the person behind it. A real gem; I feel lucky to have found her." Bryna Kranzler, The Accidental Anarchist, April 2010
"During the construction of our press releases, CerianG was communicative and informative. We had a very broad (read none really) brief on what we wanted. Suggestions were made on the authors part, which we happily accepted, with the result being a fantastic set of press releases that superbly reflect our product and company with a super-fast turnaround time. Highly recommended and we will definitely use again." Salena Knight, flower child, March 2010
"Cerian did an absolutely marvelous job editing my memoirs. Not only did Cerian edit out the extraneous text, she improved the flow of the narratives, eliminated my abuse of passive-voice and turned my original into a more "professional' document. She made the manuscript more readable while always remaining faithful to my voice. She is extremely easy to work with, organized, intelligent, responsive and punctual. She took the time to understand me and the 'background" to my story. I recommend her wholeheartedly - even though we are continents apart, I feel that we got to know each other. Contact me if you need more. Thank you, Cerian!"
Jack Keogh, International Management Consultant and author, March 2010.
"Cerian has edited several of my PhD papers, in the IT field, and will be doing a substantial edit of my final thesis. Her use of the English language and grammar is impeccable, and she is conscientious and meticulous. She has always worked to deadline, often providing the work earlier than quoted. She is also friendly, intelligent and very nice to work with. I cannot recommend her highly enough."
John Brondum, Master Certified IT Architect, and PhD student with NICTA. January, 2010
"Thank you very much for helping me out with some writing that I wouldn't have been able to do myself. I'm sure my Father also loved the letters and poem."
(This job was writing personal poetry and private correspondence) February, 2010
"I contacted Cerian to write a substantial number of reviews for web content which required extensive knowledge of locations in Australia.
Her work was of an excellent standard and was completed in a timely fashion.
She was meticulous, concise and I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again, or recommend her for other writing contracts."

10 February 1921, Birmingham, Alabama, USA, d. 6 May 2007. In the 30s Duskin moved with his family to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he began playing piano, inspired by the records of Roosevelt Sykes, Albert Ammons, and Pete Johnson. During World War II he was drafted into the army and met Ammons, Johnson, and Meade Lux Lewis on USO shows. After demobilization Joe promised his preacher father that he would not play the devils music while the old man (in his 80s) was still alive; however, he lived to be 104! Duskin worked at the US post office for over 20 years. His debut album was finally released by Arhoolie Records in 1979 and revealed him as a worthy bearer of the boogie-woogie tradition. Later albums appeared on the Special Delivery and Wolf labels, and Duskin also recorded with Dave Peabody and the Blues Band.

Rep. Lois Frankel: The face of undecided lawmakers on Syria
WASHINGTON — Rep. Lois Frankel was at the White House listening to the case for military strikes against Syria when the vice president broke the news: President Barack Obama was changing direction to pursue a diplomatic solution.
Relief washed over Frankel, a Democrat from West Palm Beach who had been deeply conflicted.
The feeling didn't last.
If the volatile attempt at diplomacy fails, Frankel knows she will face the agonizing decision anew. And even if a deal to strip Syria of chemical weapons somehow materializes, Congress could be asked to vote on strikes as a backup.
So Frankel continues to grapple with her anti-war convictions, a loyalty to the president and what she views as a duty to study the facts, much of it classified, not just public opinion. As a Jew, she feels a special tug, the gassing of Syrians stirring memories of the Holocaust.
"It's agonizing," she said in an interview. "I have not stopped thinking about Syria since the moment the whole thing erupted and the president said he was going to come to Congress. I feel like I'm possessed."
A freshman lawmaker serving in the minority is a speck in Washington's power grid, but on this decision, Frankel could matter greatly as one of the undecided votes. Beyond that, her dilemma illuminates larger truths about the problem Obama faces — as of now, he would likely lose the vote, a crushing blow — and the intense pressure lawmakers are under, from lobbying by the administration to overwhelming opposition in their districts.
"I really and truly would like to stand behind my president," said Frankel, who has had White House staffers check in on her. "But I have come to the conclusion that I'll be doing my job whether I can stand behind him or I can say, 'Mr. President I think you are making a mistake.' "

Why Startups and Web Innovation Need Net Neutrality
The crossfire from friends and colleagues debating Net neutrality has caught my attention in recent weeks and gotten me thinking about how it affects my industry, venture capital. We make our money by investing in startups, of course, which would not, by definition, exist without capitalism. Many of the technology startups we invest in similarly wouldn't exist without the Internet, which they use as a platform to provide their services.
The capitalistic system on and off the Internet encourages economic growth by the use of free and open markets to distribute goods. While some could argue that a free and open Internet means less regulation and oversight, my experience leads me to believe that an Internet encouraging innovation and startups is one that supports Net neutrality. Unless such neutrality is enforced, capitalism on the Internet is in serious jeopardy.
The essence of the Net neutrality debate is about the control and management of the publicly subsidized last-mile connection between the consumer and the service provider. Service providers argue against Net neutrality because they want the ability to apply policy to the traffic flowing across the last mile, which they claim is the only way operating costs can be controlled, fees can be kept reasonable, and service levels can be maintained throughout the network.
From the perspective of startups and innovators, service providers need to exist and be profitable. They provide the last mile and global connectivity required by technology startups to operate at any level. They also buy products and services from those startups and often deploy them at a scale unheard-of in other end markets. Such customers make startups attractive acquisition targets—often resulting in nice returns for VC funds. (See Reliance's acquisition of Yipes or BT's acquisition of Ribbit.)
abroad, some ISPs freely discriminateThose in favor of Net neutrality argue that service providers need to be decoupled from the last-mile infrastructure. The problem is that if service providers are allowed to apply policy to the last mile connecting to the consumer, that policy may be constructed to favor the ISPs' and their partners' services over competitive offers from other companies, such as startups.
Imagine, for example, that your service provider had a business relationship with a specific set of e-commerce sites and applied policy allowing their web sites to load faster and their transactions to be completed quicker than those on your Web site. Or that your provider applied policy that affected the quality of video streams or voice calls from a competitive service provider or startup. This in fact is exactly what happens in some global markets, especially where the service provider is a government-owned or controlled entity. Just ask anyone trying to use voice-over-IP or watch uncensored streaming video in countries such as Singapore or China.
More important to a VC, imagine funding a startup whose offering depended on the use of a service provider's last mile. Without Net neutrality, there would be no guarantee of a free and open market and by extension, no guarantee of the delivery of goods and services. Such an environment would hinder, not foster, innovation and economic growth—core principles of capitalism and venture capital investing. Startups need the ability to buy services from providers on a fair and level playing field, even if their services may compete with those of the provider itself.
Service providers need to accept the fact that Net neutrality is the only way that capitalism on the Internet will survive. Without it, venture capital would no longer be able to fund innovative technology startups. These are the very startups that will inevitably make service providers' offerings attractive to consumers, as Google, Facebook, Twitter and countless others have done.

I was wondering what other years I would be able to replace the manual transmission of a 1991 9000 Turbo with. How much can I expect to pay for the part(s)? I have seen $1400 online but figured if I could find one at a junkyard I could probably do it a lot cheaper.

Tactically-driven nonmonotone travelling waves
Landman, Kerry, Simpson, Matthew, & Pettet, Graeme J. (2008) Tactically-driven nonmonotone travelling waves. Physica D Nonlinear Phenomena, 237(5), pp. 678-691.
Accepted Version
Models of cell invasion incorporating directed cell movement up a gradient of an external substance and carrying capacity-limited proliferation give rise to travelling wave solutions. Travelling wave profiles with various shapes, including smooth monotonically decreasing, shock-fronted monotonically decreasing and shock-fronted nonmonotone shapes, have been reported previously in the literature. The existence of tacticallydriven shock-fronted nonmonotone travelling wave solutions is analysed for the first time. We develop a necessary condition for nonmonotone shock-fronted solutions. This condition shows that some of the previously reported shock-fronted nonmonotone solutions are genuine while others are a consequence of numerical error. Our results demonstrate that, for certain conditions, travelling wave solutions can be either smooth and monotone, smooth and nonmonotone or discontinuous and nonmonotone. These different shapes correspond to different invasion speeds. A necessary and sufficient condition for the travelling wave with minimum wave speed to be nonmonotone is presented. Several common forms of the tactic sensitivity function have the potential to satisfy the newly developed condition for nonmonotone shock-fronted solutions developed in this work.

The decision of the supreme court in the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson case is important because it
1) upheld the legality of sharecropping
2) denounces the violence of the Ku Klux Klan
3) approved separate but equal facilities for black Americans
4) declared slavery to be illegal.
We'll be glad to check your answer.
The answer is 1. right?
If you're going to post on this forum, at least take the time to read the first paragraph of the recommended website.
I did read it. I am just confused between 1 and 4 because my teacher was talking about something regarding sharecropping related to Plessy v. Ferguson case today and i didn't get it.
You sure didn't get it.
Here's the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article linked above.
"Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 (1896), is a landmark United States Supreme Court decision in the jurisprudence of the United States, upholding the constitutionality of state laws requiring racial segregation in private businesses (particularly railroads), under the doctrine of "separate but equal"."

So it is possible I may be a little obsessed with making things out of melted candy! Ever since my Peppermint Candy Dish and Peppermint Shot glasses, I have been busy in my kitchen melting away!
Today I want to share with you one of my personal favorites – DIY Peppermint Candy Spoons – eeeeeeeekkkkkkk these are SOOOO cute and, of course, they are really easy to make!
Disclosure, you do need a silicon spoon mold. I got mine here (click link) – it says it is for microwaving chocolate, but I used it in my oven over and over – no problem!
Here is what you need:
Here is what you do:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- In a ziplock bag, crush the peppermints (I used a kitchen mallet).
- Use a teaspoon to fill the spoon mold with the crushed peppermint – be sure to put extra by the top of the spoon part and at the neck of the spoon (where the spoon and handle meet). These are areas that break easy.
- Place in oven and let melt completely. Mine took about 10 minutes, but every oven is different and you just have to watch it. Once it was pretty melts (about 8 minutes in or so) I took mine out and added some additional crushed peppermint wherever it looked thin. (the peppermint melts down a bunch, so you may have to fill it in) – then I let it cook for a few minutes longer.
- Take out of oven and let cool completely.
- Separate the sides from the candy carefully and remove. If one breaks, just add some more crushed peppermint and cook for a few minutes more.

Hahaha, I was just thinking about this the other day. For me though, college girls are minor league. They're so easy at parties and rubbish in bed I dont really feel like Im gonna miss them. Its the hot older ones that I enjoy going after. Most guys peak in college. Most of them will never get the same level of girls once they get out of college because they wont have the social status to pump them up anymore. Just be happy we have a lifetime supply of good parties and hot girls.

The fact that no thought seams to have gone into these things speaks volumes for me about the people behind it.
edit, will check my facts
The US commissions just test for HIV and Hepatitis, the price seems pretty high for only those. Will a medical exam be included? What about an MRI or an ophthalmological exam? Is the only way to get on their database to pay this particular company for the blood tests?
It seems like the fighters are bearing a lot of the cost directly as opposed to the promoter, when you compare it to the BBBofC or the US athletic commissions.
Will SAFE MMA certification guarantee the promoter has appropriate insurance in case a fighter gets hurt?
just jokes bro
*high fives everyone in thread and walks off*
There is a Q&A section on the site which you can check out for compete details:
I hope this helps Mr BB
For those guys that have fought at the UFC, they will tell you that the medicals there total nearer £1500. I thkn SAFE MMA offer good value on that!
It says that you pay the GP and the GP pays the Company? Are all GP's aware of this arrangement?
Whilst it seems a good idea it kinda creates a 'them and 'us' mentality as potentially a Company like Cagewarriors/BAMMA/UCMMA will be paying the same price as a smaller regional show who may be struggling financially anyway. Most potentially would want to join but when you factor all the hassle in and the financial impact them most would decide to opt out.
Arn't blood tests free through your GP if you have a concern or you say you had a one night stand? and if Promoters of smaller shows are providing Doctors and Paramedics on the night who carry out pre fight medicals and can advise post fight then that is covering the basics with little charge.
How or where do the blood tests occur? If it is London then what if I had to travel from Newcastle, Edinburgh or Glasgow to do that (another cost)
Why do Gyms need to pay if their fighters are covered individually? Cant see the benefit of that for the gym and yet another cost

Good replacement control moduleTuesday, February 05, 2013

BuyerThursday, September 27, 2012
Just What I needed. Received Product In Great Shape. Works Perfectly.
Great product and priceSunday, September 23, 2012
When my furnace started running erratically, local HVAC companies wanted hundreds of dollars for this module and more hundreds to install it. Estimates ranged from $450 to over $700. After reesearching the part on the internet, I bought the module here, payed a few extra dollars for overnight delivery, and installed it myself. Drillspot saved me so much money I ordered another mnodule as a "backup" - just in case. This is a terrific site.
Cost, ease of ordering, and easy installation
Nothing - it works better than the original

It was great to find this replacement part for our 26 year old furnace, it has saved me major $$$ and was shipped quickly, in-depth instructions made the installation fairly simple.
Great improvement from the original, the LED lights let you know at a glance, the status of the module and also if it was or wasn't installed correctly... I got it right on the first try!!
Positive ExperienceThursday, April 21, 2011

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – The Northern Arizona women's soccer team had an outstanding season last year with 11 wins and a second place finish in the Big Sky Conference. Head coach Andre Luciano and his staff went out on the recruiting trails to find the best talent to put them on top of the conference. The Lumberjacks have added 11 players in this year's 2014 signing class.
"Our goal in this recruiting class was to become deeper in every position," said Luciano. "We got some depth in the backline and depth at the goalkeeper position, which makes it very competitive. With the departure of Lauren Weaver, we wanted attacking players who could score goals in a variety of ways."
Winning will be nothing new to these incoming freshman as nine of the eleven players have won a state championship or a region title in their high school and club careers. The Lumberjacks lose five key players (Alana D'Onofrio, Shawnee Morgan, Elinor Priest, Jordan Stenger and Lauren Weaver) from last year's squad and the freshmen have opportunities to compete for those roles and significant playing time.
"As a group, they are all super competitive," said Luciano. "They are all winners and have made significant impacts on their clubs and I love that they were True Blue NAU and wanted to be a part of this program."
Luciano and his staff traveled across the West Coast to search for the best fits for this squad and found players from all over the West. NAU received the most letters of intent from the state of California and Utah with three; Luciano also grabbed players from the state of Arizona, Colorado, Oregon and Washington, which all have schools in the Big Sky.
"Our number one goal in recruiting is to recruit in-state and in our region," said Luciano. "We wanted to throw a little bit of a wider net this year and having games on Fox Sports has helped us out tremendously giving us more exposure."
With 28 returners, Luciano will look to this class to help put NAU on top of the Big Sky Conference. The Lumberjacks will begin their season on Aug. 15th on the road against in-state opponent Arizona State.

No doubt, we are preaching to the choir, but Continuing Education courses, although necessary for your profession, sometimes end up being nothing more than fulfilling state required education hours for your practice with no real long term benefits.

Here are a few course highlights:
- Improvement of comprehension and critical evaluation of Chiropractic research
- Assess how your current practice reflects true health care reform
- Risk Management: Strokes uncovered, saving lives.
FCEA offers these 8 hours of CE instruction with the confidence that your practice will flourish with new patients and increased revenues. To help properly manage these revenues, FCEA is thrilled to have on hand, internationally known author of "Financially Fit for Life" and "The Miracle of Wealth", Steve Down, America's wealth coach. Steve will share innovative strategies that have helped thousands of professionals thrive financially; methods that according to Mr. Down prove, "wealth is not earned...it is CREATED." Steve demonstrates how income from your practice can be converted to long-term wealth.

Style: 37659059 Color Code:
American made swingy long sleeve mini dress with allover print and open back. Tie and zip closure at the back for easy fit.
Not FP so sizing is different!
This dress is so cute, but I didn't notice that the brand is Christy Dawn (not Free People) before purchasing, so I ordered the wrong size. I usually wear a small in FP, but the arms and chest were wayyyy too tight in this dress, which is weird because the waist fit. Just be warned: there is no stretch!

Held Captive in Iran: A Hostage Remembers
Thirty years ago today, Iranian students seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran. Fifty-two hostages were held for 444 days. Barry Rosen was a State Department press attaché in Tehran in 1979 and was one of the hostages held by the students. He joins us with a look at the hostage taking that changed the U.S. political landscape and the implications for modern Iran.
For more about this pivotal point in U.S.-Iranian history, here is part I of Voice of America's documentary:

Hmmmm, not sure if I like the red-on-purple. It clashes with your Shepard's hair. But perhaps I'll get used to it.
I tried yellow and black, orange, white and red, sky blue and white, black and neon green and umpteen other combinations of colors and patterns, but the Milka cow camo is the first pattern/color combo that actually matches my Shepard's eyes. Besides, it's funny. I like funny.
Jacob, eh? Well, I (as a guy) had a hard time deciding which one to, er, you know what. There were times when I felt slightly offended by some gals' advances, so finally I picked Jack because she was pretty much the only one who didn't badger me all the time.
My gal Shepard had no such problems
; she and Garrus were a fine match pretty much from the start.
Play nice.©

Scientific American posted another of their great tutorials! This experiment uses a rubber band, scissors, and temperature variation to explore some of the basic concepts of physics.
Have you ever noticed that some objects tend to expand when they get hot and contract when they cool down? For example, you might run hot water over the lid of a jar that's stuck—this causes the lid to expand, making it easier to twist off. Does this effect work the same way for all materials? Try this fun activity to find out!

text: Joe Satriani is one of the foremost "guitar shredders," a guitarist whose lightning speed virtuosity is matched by his vast theoretical knowledge and musical imagination. The New York six-string demon kicked around as a sideman for a long time before kicking off his solo career in the '80s. Since then he's garnered countless Grammy Nominations for Best Rock Instrumental, worked with shred supergroup G3 (including peers Steve Vai and Eric Johnson), and inspired legions of fiery guitarists.

There were only a few spectators in the stands today for the huge military parade on a hilltop here. It did not matter, though. The real audience was not in this northern city, near the border with the nominally independent Kurdish zone, but elsewhere.
''Today we are here to show the Americans that we will stand strong against all aggression against Iraq,'' said Abdullah Jamin Ahmed, 50, a retiree with a gray mustache and an AK-47 leaning against his left shoulder.
This was not the first parade, in recent months, of the Jerusalem Army, a civilian militia that claims seven million members around Iraq, but it appeared to be the largest. Perhaps 50,000 militia members -- men, women, the old and big-bellied as well as the young and trim -- marched here to prove that ordinary Iraqis are armed and ready to fight if the United States carries out its threat to attack Iraq.
Whether they actually will fight remains one of the biggest questions facing American war planners. But, at a minimum, the march here showed that, on the eve of a possible war, Saddam Hussein's government has the power to bring out big crowds, and that there is no shortage of weapons in this country, which has made few public displays of war preparations so far.Continue reading the main story
Muhammed Hassan, 22, a farmer who had pinned to his chest a sign reading, ''Down with America,'' was one of 200 militia members from Rabia -- the entire adult male population of his small village about an hour's drive from here. Like most people at the march and elsewhere in Iraq, he showed little anger or fervor, but no fear either.
''It's a challenge,'' he said of the size of the crowd today. ''I am not afraid. I will fight them.''
The Jerusalem Army was formed two years ago by the government, largely from the loyal cadre of Mr. Hussein's ruling Baath Party, to show solidarity with Palestinians. Its members, some former soldiers, receive military training, which many said had been increased in recent weeks as an American decision nears on whether to attack Iraq.
Today, they showed their strength. Unit after armed unit -- Kurds in baggy pants, Baath Party officials in smart green jumpsuits, young men with launchers for rocket-propelled grenades -- passed by the reviewing stand not far from the ruins of an ancient Assyrian wall. Some chanted in Arabic: ''Bush, Bush, hear our refrain. We support Saddam Hussein.''
Tailing along at the end of the parade were dozens of white pickup trucks mounted with machine guns, reminiscent of the so-called technicals who challenged American troops in Somalia.
There also appeared to be a new twist today: a unit of a dozen suicide bombers, dressed in white hoods and with explosive belts and what looked like dynamite draped from their bodies. Iraqi officials warned recently that they would unleash suicide attacks against Americans in the event of an attack, not only in Iraq but elsewhere in the Middle East.
To underscore the importance of the march, they were greeted with a smile and a stiff-arm salute from Izzat Ibrahim, vice chairman of the nation's top ruling body and the second-in-command after Mr. Hussein.
Some of the marchers said they had only been told the night before to appear at the parade today. But preparations for war itself, others said, began stepping up a week ago.
Samira Mahmoud, 45, a member of the women's brigade, who marched with her 21-year-old daughter, said that her unit was meeting more often to prepare for providing first aid to wounded soldiers. She said she had no fear of an American attack, no matter how overpowering it might be.
''Nobody has the right to touch one hair on an Iraqi's head,'' she said. ''We are right. They are wrong. Anyone who is right will win.''
Nuri Dahal, 45, a veteran of both the Persian Gulf war of 1991 and the earlier war with Iran, said that he and his unit had been training every day. He has begun running again, and has dropped about six pounds, a change in fitness and weight that he said all three of his wives had noticed.
''Soon, I will be able to run like a 15-year-old boy,'' he said. He has 15 sons. ''All of them are ready to fight,'' he said.
A student, Ahmed Kasim, 28, conceded that the mood at the march today was not especially angry. Only one man, in the crowd of tens of thousands, stopped one American reporter to chant angry slogans. But, Mr. Kasim, said Iraqis' true feelings ran deeper as war with America seemed close again.
''We are angry inside,'' Mr. Kasim said. ''That means our anger is not on our faces. It will show at the time of the battles.''Continue reading the main story

Either way I think getting out of there was probably the best course of action.
glad you're ok
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. ~Burke, Edmund
Proud owner of a G35. And yes I carry it concealed.
Wow! As soon as the "officer" was mentioned I thought "Why did he WATCH it all but not attempt to stop it, call for uniformed cars, something?!" on the other hand I can see, trying to put myself in your friend's shoes, the excitement and adrenaline and all not even questioning what the "officer" said, not putting good thought into it. No doubt in my mind he just didn't want the same whooping his friend's just got and saw that as the best way out!
Glad he's alright!

Burger King customers are queuing for whoppers with SIX layers of meat dished up by staff in secret.
The monster treats packed with 2,460 calories more than an average mans recommended food for an entire DAY are not on the menu.
But a craze for ordering double triple burgers is growing and some servers are happy to satisfy the demand.
Takeaway fans use the internet to spread the word about which Burger King branches sell the specials usually prepared near closing time by cramming leftover meat between two buns.
The burgers bulge with 162 grams of fat almost DOUBLE the recommended average daily intake and the equivalent of THIRTEEN AND A HALF Mars bars.
The barmy burger craze started in America, where students post videos on YouTube showing them trying to finish the massive meals.
The People paid £6.19 for one of the monster burgers at a Burger King at Charing Cross rail station in central London last week.
Its six meat patties were topped with cheese, mayo, a rasher of bacon, sliced onion and gherkins.
Commuter Neil Bayliss, a 28-year-old IT worker, who saw the burger we bought, said: There's no way in a million years I'd eat that. It looks absolutely disgusting. Mind you I might think differently if I'd had a few pints.
Fellow customer Sharon Donohoe, 41, added: It really is a whopper. I definitely couldn't finish a whole one.
Bosses at Burger King whose slogan is Have It Your Way are likely to give staff a grilling for selling the oversize snack.
The chain has admitted its UK sales have been hit by health concerns.
Rivals McDonalds introduced a lighter menu in a bid to snare customers put off by obesity fears.
Burger Kings 512 British branches are run as franchises.
Individual managers are warned to protect the brand by following strict rules on how products are served.
A company source said: The sale of these sort of burgers does go on but it certainly isn't encouraged.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hello! I am a CPA here to assist you with your tax questions. My goal is to provide you with excellent service today.
How are you today?
Since you are just the power of attorney, the capital gain will not be attributed to you. Your mother is still the one selling the house, and as such any gain would be attributable to her, not you. She can exclude up to $250,000 of gains on the sale of her primary residence. So, chances are she owes no tax on this transaction.
Also, as this is unearned income, the sale of the house should not impact her LA State retirement
However, you just need to make sure that your mother is listed as the seller of the house, and that you are just signing as power of attorney. Then, you have nothing to worry about in terms of being on the hook for any capital gains tax.
Do you have any further questions about this matter?
If not, please rate as "excellent" so that I may receive credit for assisting you today

text: Until John Kerry takes center stage, others will make his case at the Democratic National Convention in Boston. It's hard to imagine any of them doing it better than former President Bill Clinton.After being introduced Monday night by his wife, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, as "the last great Democratic president," Clinton worked his old magic. And although his speech wasn't "vetted," the ex-president didn't resort to any bashing for a knockout performance. He deftly jabbed Bush and the Republicans on the economy and tax cuts, while countering GOP hits that Kerry is weak on defense and not tough enough to combat terrorism.Clinton even took a poke at himself when he said: "During the Vietnam War, many young men, including the current president, the vice president and me, could have gone to Vietnam and didn't. John Kerry came from a privileged background. He could have avoided going too, but instead, he said: 'Send me."'Clinton remains a master of politics, "one of the great orators of modern times," as Democratic Leadership Council President Bruce Reed said.

Nice piece for a ccw. I would carry one like that myself. I am trying to convince my wife on a revolver for a self defense. But she likes the walther P22
I've had a couple of thread about a gun for my wife. This had been quite a long process deciding on what she liked and what the actual intended use would be, range gun or carry. At first we were looking in the small 9mm range, then after shooting my 1911 she thought that's what she wanted. After a couple of range trips, the .45 was just too much to shoot enough rounds to get in some good practice. I then bought a 4" .357 and she loved shooting the revolver. Didn't have to rack the slide, could fire single or double action and it just felt good in her hand.
Her birthday is this Friday and I had decided to get her, her own gun. We knew she wanted a revolver and was thinking of something in a 4" barrel since that what she liked. After deciding the end use of this gun would be for her to carry (later after some more practice and training) we decided on a 2" .38 special. Knowing that if it was ever needed, the smaller weapon would be easier to handle getting it out of her purse and that it should be just as accurate at close defense distance.
This what we ended up getting this afternoon. Smith & Wesson model 360 airweight, scandium frame.
Nice piece for a ccw. I would carry one like that myself. I am trying to convince my wife on a revolver for a self defense. But she likes the walther P22
Nice gun, but has your wife ever shot an Airweight J frame before? They are not pleasant to shoot at all, and are often very hard to master. Not to rain on your day, but J frames are not good guns for novice shooters, and the Airweights are a handful.
I'd love to have one of these as an ankle gun. Great pistol for the wife! I hope she appreciates it and doesn't hate you for spending big $ on a gun. For my wife, it would be like buying her a bowling ball for our anniversary -scary business!
I would try to find some light ammo to start off with, or at least not +P stuff the first day. One ca get used to the airweight but it is not a range gun. You do have a good point about shooting a .45 and .357 Magnum. The main problem with the J frames is that they are so small. As long as she is prepared that it will not be like a full sized .38, I am sure she will be fine.
I do think it is pretty darn nice of you to get her a gun that you feel she will like. I have seen so many guys just buy their wives what they themselves wanted. I kind of did that myself.
Those air weights are not bad at all with a 38 spl. in them. And surprisingly accurate. I've not shot one in 357.
I'm not a fan of off body carry.Originally Posted by cruzthepug
The biggest drawback to me is you can never leave the "container" (purse, manbag, planner, etc.) unattended. Go to a store or mall and watch how careless a lot of women are with their purse. Can't set it in the cart and turn your back on it to grab something off the shelf. Can't ask someone else to hold it while you use both your hands.
Kathy Jackson has more to say about it and says it better than I could: http://www.corneredcat.com/Holster/purse.aspx
Excellent choice.
Great revo and great grip on it too. The Mrs. should love it. Nice to know she shoots it both SA and DA.
And in case she don't love it, my B-day is coming up and, well....even though we aint married, I'd be happy to accept it as a token of your esteem
Non-LEO's I know prefer the (proper kind of) purse carry.
Holsters, belts etc are usually not part of normal feminine garb. Esp in a professional environment. The tactical purse fills a niche.
+1 on having to babysit thing, but, prolly should do that anyways. And +1 on the less-than-uber tactical carry.
But, it sure beats having the little lady unarmed.
I just noticed I am going on and on about a ........PURSE.
Very nice....
I have two suggestions for you and your wife.
- Start her off with standard-pressure, .38 Special cartridges loaded with the heaviest bullets you can find (e.g., 158-grain). Heavy bullets are loaded to move more slowly than are light ones, so the recoil they produce is more of a slow push than a sharp shove. Beginners find that kind of recoil much easier to comfortably control.
- Have her investigate Kathy Jackson's "Cornered Cat" web site, at: http://www.corneredcat.com/. Kathy teaches shooting, and knows what she's talking about; and her site is dedicated to educating women about guns, holsters, and shooting in general.

Rent-A-Center Concludes Credit Facility Refinancing - Analyst Blog
Rent-A-Center, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCII) announced that the refinancing of a relatively large senior credit facility worth $900 million has been completed. This comprised a $225 million term loan and a $675 million revolving credit facility.
It was in Feb 2014 when the company declared that it will enter into an $850 million worth of senior credit facility, comprising of a $350 million term loan and $500 million revolving credit facility.
Rent-A-Center expects to have better access to capital and reduce the average cost of debt due to the significant size of the credit facility. Moreover, the company's latest move will provide financial flexibility to continue enhancing shareholder returns. However, the refinancing transaction is likely to drag 2014 earnings by 8 cents.
Rent-A-Center had last refinanced a credit facility ($750 million senior credit facility consisting of $250 million in term loans and a $500 million revolving credit facility) in July 2011.
Recently, the Federal Reserve announced that it would keep interest rates low even after achieving the targeted unemployment rate of 6.5% and inflation of 2%. Even the borrowing costs will be low as the economy is not ready for higher rates.
With borrowing costs remaining low, it will be easier for companies to obtain financing, providing opportunities for long term growth.
Rent-A-Center offers consumer electronics, appliances and furniture products under rental purchase schemes that allow customers to own the merchandise upon completion of the rental period. Due to continued tightening of the credit market, customers see rent-to-own as a more flexible and viable option compared to credit. However, the sluggish economic recovery and a weak job market could make customers reluctant to enter new rental-purchase deals.
Currently, Rent-A-Center has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), reflecting lower-than-expected results in the third and fourth quarters of 2013, and a cautious outlook due to macroeconomic headwinds challenging the company's Core U.S. segment.
However, not all finance stocks are as unfavorably placed as Rent-A-Center. Investors interested in the same sector could consider Tree.Com Inc. (NASDAQ: TREE), World Acceptance Corp. (NASDAQ: WRLD) and Discover Financial Services (NYSE: DFS). All of these carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

More from Books and Bygones
Clarice Cliff Cabinet Plate. Westminster Abbey. 1950 period. Signed. New condition.
The vast majority of Clarice's 'Art Deco' output was between 1927 and 1936. However, after the 'Bizarre' period, Clarice continued to produce many wares in her own unique style and to suit the current tastes of the nation and the various Worldwide export markets. In the post-war period Clarice Cliff moved to Newtport Pottery where she designed. Most of the pieces were mass produced but some were hand painted. She remained at the Newport factories right up until 1964 when she sold the factories to Midwinter's and retired.
This lovely cabinet plate has a cream ground, edged with gold. Surrounding the central painting of Westminster Abbey with Bib Ben in the background is a border with scenes of London landmarks. A travel guide in miniature!
The plate has a diameter of 10 ½" with a shallow bowl center with a rise of 1". The backstamp is a genuine Clarice Cliff with a Regd. No. 840075.
These plates have never commanded the prices that the Art Deco ones have, but are steadily increasing as Clarice Cliff becomes more widely known on this side of the Atlantic.
Condition is perfect. No wear to the edges or scratches.

As you know, I've not been barking in a while.
My mom wasn't able to help me get on the computer due to a super busy schedule.
And now, I'm here to report (via my mommy's heart) that my family had to let me go to the Rainbow Bridge on July 21st. I had lots of pain in my hips - being such a big boy and all - and was bleeding internally due to cancer.
My mom's not been able to get on Dogster to tell you guys because it hurts her heart so much. Even now, she's crying.
To add salt to misery, my brother Lancelot (you remember me talking about him, I'm sure, even though he wasn't techno savvy enough to get on a computer) went to the Rainbow Bridge only two short weeks before me.
My mommy and daddy and human pup are so sad. They still haven't gotten another dog to replace me or Lancelot - not that one could. Ha! I was THE Best dog my mom ever had!! No lieing; she said so.
Anyway. Mom's not on here anymore, but we all wish you well even from the great Beyond.
Licks and Barks, Samwise (and Lancelot)
Woof!! Woof!!
You may have noticed I've been on a lot less lately. I thought I'd drop in and give you all a quick diary update.
As of today (1/30/12), I will be departing from the Dogster community. I have enjoyed my time here on Dogster and will miss the great conversations we've had.
I was overwhelmed to be chosen Dog of The Day in December and have enjoyed each and every moment I've barked here. I've been amazed by the friendships I've made here. Some of the absolute nicest dogs and their hoomans are on here. Luv you guys!!
Even though I will no longer be on Dogster, remember FRONTLINE help is only one call away at Merial's FRONTLINE center at 1-800-660-1842 or visit FRONTLINE.com.
Your friend,
It's the most horrible time of the Year,
It's the scar-scariest season of all,
With those fireworks screaming and bright lights a-gleaming,
When hoomans come to call,
It's the scar-scariest season of all.
Ughs! I hatz those fireworks! Why do the hoomans make them go off at the beginning of each year? Seems like a perfectly frightening way to start off the New Year. Eek!
And then, they do it again in the middle of the year too!
Do fireworks scare you too? Me and Lancelot hide in the basement hall. I know; you'd think with a name like Lancelot, he'd be brave. Of course, I was named for a brave hobbit myself, but I cower all the same.
Mom's got busy, busy days for the next week or so. If she doesn't help me get on the computer, y'all have a wonderful holiday season. Keep your chin up; don't let those nasty loud bangs get the best of you!

Sharon Gerecht. Credit: INBT / JHU
Assistant Professor Sharon Gerecht, an affiliated faculty member of the Institute for NanoBioTechnology in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, recently earned the Maryland Academy of Science's 2008 Outstanding Young Engineering (OYE) award. The OYE award recognizes the extraordinary scientific contributions of Maryland residents under the age of 35.
Gerecht studies how changes in micro- and nano-scale environment can affect the growth and function of stem cells with focus on vascular development and regeneration. Gerecht is looking at ways to direct stem cell differentiation by engineering different chemical, mechanical and physical environments upon which the cells grow. This may have implications on how stem cells could be used in medical therapy.
"I believe that we are now in a unique position in which we know more about stem cells, their isolation, characterization, and have a basic understanding of their biology," says Gerecht.
