Movie Info
Nicholas and Alexandra covers the rise and fall of the last of the Russian Romanovs. We first meet Czar Nicholas (Michael Jayston) and his German bride Alexandra (Janet Suzman) at their 1894 wedding. Though Nicholas is devoted to Alexandra, the Russian populace is less politely inclined to having a "foreigner" as their Czarina. Alexandra gains favor when she gives birth to the much-loved Prince Alexis (Roderick Noble). Alas, Alexis suffers from hemophilia, a disease which strikes every second

Sam Spiegel comes up with a rarity: the intimate epic, in telling the fascinating story of the downfall of the Romanovs.
One can be more or less hypnotized by the spectacle of their downfall, but it's difficult to be really moved by it.
The problem with Nicholas and Alexandra is that it considers the Russian Revolution from, in some ways, the least interesting perspective.
When James Goldman's script hits one of its frequent dead spots, Schaffner's camera is there to take up most of the slack with elegantly designed wide-screen compositions.
While it remains a treat for the eyes, Nicholas and Alexandra suffers from the filmmakers' attempts to tell too much.
A lengthy, visually impressive period piece with little in the way of new material or fresh spins on history to distinguish it.
This lavish but a bit stale and overlong epic about the tragic fate of Ruusia's last czar and his wife (well acted by Janet Suzman) was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar.
Stodgy, but intermittently absorbing.
Audience Reviews for Nicholas and Alexandra
Super Reviewer
Super Reviewer
Reasonably dynamic, with a broad scope, grand story and sprawling three-hour runtime, this film is indeed an epic, and with that said, the film does, in fact, find itself outstaying its welcome time and again, going bloated with excess material that is well-handled enough to where it's rarely all that disengaging, yet is still fairly glaring and slows down the momentum of a film that really only has so much momentum to begin with. The film has many a pick-up, yet all too often, not much happens in this film, which isn't a huge problem, as the writing and direction is strong enough to sustain your investment throughout this film, whether when it's picking up or simply continuing to be all talk, yet the fact of the matter is that a large chunk of this overlong film is much more bark than bite, with only so much bite to the expository barking (Development Dog! Sorry, I just couldn't help but think that). As you would probably imagine, it doesn't take long before repetition ensues, never to descend into monotony and rarely to repel you tremendously, but still plague the film with further steam loss, or at least emphasis on the film's often meandering along, repetitious or not. Again, the film's storytelling is generally quite strong, yet such strength often finds itself betrayed by much too much limiting in momentum, though it's not like more eventful storytelling was ever going to make this film that much stronger, because when things do happen, it's hard to deny that they seem fairly familiar. Though perhaps explored too often, stories of this nature are indeed very worthy, so it's not like I can say that I'm tired of films like this, and it helps that this film does have its share of unique touches, yet on the whole, this film follows a formula already pretty well-established by 1971, alone, and the final product's overall value further suffers for that reason. The film's missteps are indeed limited, yet they do stand, frequent and just potent to bite at the film's bite, little by little, until a film that could have really hit if it was tighter, meatier and more refreshing is left standing as, well, just another epic of its era. Of course, that's hardly a bad thing, as this film's generation was rich with strong epics, with this film being no exception, for although missteps stand, more pronounced are the strengths that power engagement value through and through for the audience, or at least for audience's the eyes.
Everyone of the '60s and '70s' favorite epic cinematographer, Freddie Young, shot this epic pretty much like he did with all of the others, delivering photography that isn't exactly too startlingly dazzling, or at least not by today's standards, yet still strikes with handsomely then-distinct coloring and lighting, as well as broad scope that further absorbs the environment beautifully and goes complimented by Richard Rodney Bennett's, albeit familiar, yet grandly broad and excellent score work. The scope of the cinematography certainly gives you a chance to step back and get a good look at the production designs, which are nothing short of excellent, reconstructing the final days of the Russian monarchy with intricate believability that captures environment, both royal and somewhat reflective of Russia's conflicts just before the 1920s, effectively and attractively. Like many a worthy epic of its type and era, the film is technically and artistically sharp, and such stylistic excellence brings much of this grand story to life, but what truly breathes life into the bonafide depths of this worthy story are the people in charge of crafting the story in the first place. This subject matter is rich with potential, presenting grand sweep, dramatic depth, more than a few dynamic layers and, altogether, challenges to a writer that, if overcome, could very well make for a powerfully rewarding effort, and when it comes down to final execution, screenwriter James Goldman makes his share of mistakes, keeping things a bit too loose and repetitious, as well as not quite as unique as they possibly could have been, and yet, on the whole, Goldman delivers on clever set pieces with enough color to somewhat obscure the potency of the repetition's disengagement, while structuring the story, not necessarily tightly or all that terribly comfortably, yet comfortably enough to make the many layers feel fairly organic, yet palpable enough to give the film just enough dynamicity to establish scope that would have been broader if there was much more dynamicity, but still stands quite compellingly firm. Goldman's execution of this worthy story stands to be more worthy by its own right, yet it's still strong enough to draw much from the compelling depths of the story concept, going best only by the thing that executes Goldman's screenplay itself, Franklin J. Schaffner's direction, which is also improvable, yet nevertheless very strong in a fashion that was, in some areas, ahead of the time, with graceful subtlety and depth that breathe much potency into the dramatic resonance, as well as with a consistent inspired livliness that keeps the film thoroughly entertaining, for although the film's storytelling does indeed meander, Schaffner keeps everything charged and engrossing enough for you to be kept going, enjoying yourself, throughout this three-hour opus, which goes further carried by the talents found on the screen, or at least most of them, as young Roderic Noble sometimes borders on terrible, being wooden and obnoxiously ineffective, with very few notes and a near-profound forcefulness behind what additional notes he attempts to crowbar into his performance, while most everyone else delivers his or her own kind of distinctive charisma that makes most every member of this heavily populated ensemble characters list fairly memorable, with the leads, of course, particularly standing out. Now, regardless of what the title might have you believe, this film is primarily centered around Tsar Nicholas II, individually, thus the titular Empress Alexandra finds herself occasionally underused, yet whenever she does arrive, Janet Suzman brings the powerful yet vulnerable woman to life with humanity and graceful layers, and when it comes to leading man Michael Jayston, he delivers on a presence of power, yet enough human vulnerability to open the doors to the effectiveness of the layers that Tsar Nicholas II found in his final days and make for a compelling lead. The film is with its shortcomings, there's no denying that, yet truly accels in the areas that it does, in fact, get right, and while such acceleration isn't quite enough to carry this film to its full potential, it carries the final product to a very rewarding state.
In the end, the final product faces shortcomings through some bloating excessiveness in material, as well as through what material there is having only so much bite and quite a bit of repetition that leaves the film to meander just enough for you to notice the originality limiting that makes the film an improvable one, yet certainly doesn't take away what makes the film so rewarding, whether it be the fine cinematography, score work and production designs that make the film technically and artistically sharp, or screenwriter James Goldman's generally strong structuring of the worthy story, which goes further brought to life by inspiration within both Franklin J. Schaffner's direction and most of the charismatic performances, thus leaving "Nicholas and Alexandra" to stand as an engrossing and thoroughly entertaining epic that stands reasonably worthy of the three hours it still too often meanders through.

John Cena and Kane wrestled to a double countout during their match at Royal Rumble 2012. The action spilled to ringside and neither man was able to get back into the ring. Kane gave Cena some chair shots after the match, and then attacked an injured Zack Ryder as well.
While many fans have forgotten about him nowadays, John Laurinaitis still remains backstage for WWE, where he is working as an agent. He has accepted his demotion within the company and is not expected back on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown anytime soon.
"Right. I think he, and I'm not inside his head, but for whatever reason I hear from a lot of guys that he has a little chip on his shoulder about certain guys. I think, it's one of those things where he always wanted guys to be on their defenses around him and I never really was because I was really comfortable there, especially when I got WWE agents that were putting me over to him, members of creative and stuff like that. So I was always comfortable because I knew I had all these people that were putting me over to him, so I think he kind of didn't like that. I don't know him personally. I haven't talked to him more than this interview backstage kind of thing, but I always got the feeling that he was upset about how un-nervous or how comfortable I was there and not like a yes sir, no sir kind of thing. It's his prerogative or whatever. He was in charge. So, for whatever reason it was, he just never, he always kind of had a chip on his shoulder towards me."
Since he made a cameo appearance during a backstage segment at the Survivor Series, speculations have arisen about John Laurinaitis making his return to WWE television, but the former on screen general manager is not scheduled to do so anytime soon.
Ric Flair recently addressed a high school football team, where one of the players was the son of John Laurinaitis.
WWE.com has announced that John Laurinaitis has resigned from his real life position as Senior Vice President of Talent Operations. He will remain with the company as a road agent, however.

After debuting the Series II for both the Phantom and Phantom Coupe models, Rolls Royce engineers have started to test a new luxury coupe. Initially thought to be called Corniche, the latest creation from Rolls Royce brings back in fact a name that was initially used in 1938: Wraith.
The new Wraith, simply described as "the most powerful and dynamic Rolls-Royce in history," features a fastback profile, and is wider and lower than the Ghost, making it more aerodynamic and aggressive in the same time.
For its new model, Rolls Royce has made numerous improvements to the suspension and the steering system and for the interior, it has installed the "on-board valet," - an innovative voice-command system that sends data to the navigation and infotainment systems.
Sales will begin in the final quarter of 2013 and in Europe prices will start from €245,000 (about $320,000 at the current exchange rates).
UPDATE 03/05/2013: This review has been updated with the official details, images and specs.
UPDATE 09/25/2013: Rolls Royce unveiled a series of new images and video for the latest addition to its lineup: Wraith. The shots were taken in the beautiful city of Vienna and on location in the spectacular surrounding area.
Hit the jump to read more about the new Rolls Royce Wraith.
The new Wraith is defined by "bold lines, tension in the panels and a raked rear screen" — features that offer it a unique character. The model will be immediately recognized as a Rolls Royce, thanks to its deeply recessed grille, wide rear track and, of course, the dramatic two-tone colorization offered for the exterior.
The sporty feeling offered by the exterior is combined with a luxurious and elegant interior. In here, Rolls Royce engineers have combined the softest Phantom-grade leathers with a special wood called Canadel Panelling.
For the first time in a model beyond the Phantom family, the new Wraith is offered with a feature called Starlight Headliner, meaning that a total of 1,340 fiber optic lamps are hand-woven into the roof lining to give the impression of a glittering, starry night sky.
The model is offered with numerous standard features that provide the driver with the best experience behind the wheel. First, there is the Satellite Aided Transmission - a system that uses GPS to anticipate driver's next move based on location and current driving style and then selects the most appropriate gear for the terrain ahead.
The most amazing feature, however, is the new "on-board valet" - it uses voice commands to send data to the navigation menu, on-screen and audio guidance. This way all the driver needs to do is to press a one-touch call button located on the steering wheel and initiate his command.
Under the hood, the new Wraith features the company's usual V-12 engine, but the output has been considerably improved to 624 horsepower and a peak torque of 590 pound-feet.
The engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic ZF transmission and sprints the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds - a 0.3 seconds improvement over the Ghost.
Suspensions and brakes
Rolls Royce also made a series of changes to the suspension and steering system. The suspension has been tuned to minimize body roll and offer improved handling. The steering system has also been improved to be heavier at high speeds and lighter at low speeds.
The new Rolls Royce Wraith will be put on sale in the final quarter of 2013 and in Europe prices will start from €245,000 (about $320,000 at the current exchange rates).
The new Rolls Royce Wraith is the most powerful and fastest model in Rolls Royce's history, but you can still find models that are far better than it.
2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed
The GT Speed is powered by a 6-liter, 48-valve, four-cam, twin turbocharged W-12 engine that delivers a total of 616 horsepower and a peak torque of 590 pound-feet. Despite being less powerful than the Wraith, the GT Speed is faster — 0 to 60 mph in just 4 seconds and up to a top speed of 205 mph.
Also, when it comes to appearance, we would prefer the Bentley model: it looks better and it is a little bit more aerodynamic.
Not really a direct competitor for the new Wraith, the 2014 Vanquish is a proof that those looking to combine high performance with great luxury can do it for a smaller price, as the Vanquish is priced under $300k.
The Aston Martin model is powered by a 6-liter V-12 engine that delivers a total of 565 horsepower and a peak torque of 457 pound-feet. As a result, the car will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and up to a top speed of 186 mph.
We have to admit, the new Wraith is one of the best models Rolls Royce has unveiled in the past few years. Still, for the money you can get more powerful and faster sports car. But then again, customers looking to buy a Rolls Royce aren't interested in getting a sporty car, so maybe the new Wraith will turn out to be very successful.
- Looks very cool
- Highly equipped interior
- Very powerful
- Like with any other Rolls Royce model it is expensive

Press Release
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars proudly presents the world debut of Wraith, the most powerful and dynamic Rolls-Royce in history. At its heart lie hallmark Rolls-Royce attributes of luxury, refinement and hand-craftsmanship, but the new model from the world's pinnacle super-luxury marque also presents a unique character defined by power, style and drama. With just a hint of the noir.
"Today we launch the ultimate gentlemen's gran turismo, a car that embodies the spirit of Charles Stewart Rolls," commented Torsten Müller-Ötvös, CEO Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. "The most powerful Rolls-Royce in history, Wraith promises the sense of adventure and speed that drove our founding forefather. But of course, Wraith's starting point is luxury, refinement and quality, traits that remain as important to Rolls-Royce customers today as they were more than a century ago."
Rolls-Royce Chairman and BMW Group board member Harald Krüger added the following: "The BMW Group today reconfirms its full commitment to the future of Rolls-Royce. Growth and a prosperous future lie ahead thanks to continued investment, careful brand stewardship and the launch of groundbreaking new models like Rolls-Royce Wraith, a magnificent addition to the product range."
In profile, Wraith's sweeping fastback design gives the car its unique character. Bold lines, tension in the panels and a raked rear screen evoke the image of a world class athlete poised in the starting blocks. Further expression of dynamic intent can be seen in Wraith's deeply recessed grille, wide rear track and dramatic two-tone presentation.
Coach doors open to reveal a sumptuous interior complete with softest Phantom-grade leathers and expanses of wood called Canadel Panelling. Named after the famous cove in the South of France where Sir Henry Royce and his design and engineering teams spent their winters, this contemporary and tactile finish sweeps through the interior, cosseting four occupants in a space bathed in light and warmth.
The interior ambiance is complemented by Starlight Headliner, a Bespoke feature available beyond Phantom family cars for the first time. 1,340 fibre optic lamps are hand-woven into the roof lining to give the impression of a glittering, starry night sky.
Performance delivers on the promise of Wraith's styling. Power delivery is effortless, but dramatic, thanks to a V12 engine married to 8-speed automatic ZF transmission. 624 bhp / 465kW is available to the driver while the 0-60 mph sprint is achieved in 4.4 seconds, compared with 563 bhp / 420kW and 0-60 in 4.7 seconds for Ghost.
From 1,500 rpm 800 Nm of torque is available (780 Nm for Ghost), while a wide rear track, shorter wheelbase and lower roof height further contribute to the most powerful, involving driving experience of any Rolls-Royce in history. The car's suspension has also been tuned to minimise body roll and discreetly amplify feedback when cornering; while steering weight is heavier at high speeds and lighter at low speeds adding to the spirited drive.
However, Wraith is no GT bruiser. Agility improvements have been achieved with absolutely no compromise to the sensation of riding on a bed of air. Furthermore, the debut of Satellite Aided Transmission (SAT) technology takes the powertrain to a new level of effortless delivery, one that perfectly suits the Rolls-Royce brand.
Satellite Aided Transmission uses GPS data to see beyond what the driver sees; it anticipates his next move based on location and current driving style, then selects the most appropriate gear for the terrain ahead. Corners, motorway junctions and roundabouts are all anticipated in advance meaning Wraith is constantly poised to deliver on its promise of performance.
A more polished, effortless driving experience and even better response brings a new, more dynamic dimension to the famous Rolls-Royce trait, waftability.
For over a century a Rolls-Royce motor car has featured technologies designed to support occupants discreetly, delivering a peerless driving experience epitomised by the term 'effortlessness'. In every Rolls-Royce these assist the driver when called upon, but are prepared to return without fuss to the background when no longer required.
Advances in mechanical and electrical technology deliver systems like head-up display, adaptive headlights and Wraith's keyless opening boot. But improvements in connectivity have taken the human-machine interface to a new level of sophistication, a suite of aids that could be likened to a contemporary on-board valet.
Voice activation commands, for example, come with a one-touch call button located on the steering wheel. A destination no longer requires manual input from a navigation menu and route assistance begins immediately, on-screen and via audio guidance following a voice command such as "navigate to Piccadilly in London."
Additional improvements in communications come in the design and functionality of the elegant Spirit of Ecstasy Rotary Controller. This allows navigation through on-screen functions using a touch pad that features pinch and pull functionality to echo smart phone usage. Letters can also be 'drawn' onto the pad by hand rather than by scrolling through a series of available characters on-screen.
In Europe, Wraith will be priced at c. €245k. Confirmation and further pricing details in all markets will be revealed later in the year.
First deliveries of Wraith will be made to customers in the final quarter of 2013.

Keys to the Season for Top NCAA Basketball Teams
9/5/13 in NCAABB | EdIsaacson | 15 respect
Michigan State – Last season was Michigan State's 11th trip to at least the Sweet Sixteen under Tom Izzo and with the return of some key personnel from last year's team, they are primed to make a title run again. The return of Gary Harris for his sophomore season and Adreian Payne for his senior were vital if the Spartans expect to advance far. Harris is capable of scoring from the perimeter and on penetration, and he uses his strong body well to create space. Payne is very skilled for his size, but he has had issues staying focused and putting all the pieces together. The key for this group may be the play of point guard Keith Appling who has shown flashes of the distributor he could be, but would still rather look to score first. If Appling can defer more to Harris and Payne, it may make his job much easier.
Louisville – Losing the starting point guard and center from a National Championship team would be tough for almost any one, but Rick Pitino has himself a team that will be right back in the NCAA Championship hunt this season. With Peyton Siva now in the NBA, this is fully Russ Smith's team, and like him or hate him, he produces on both ends of the floor. He'll be joined in the backcourt by JUCO Player of the Year Chris Jones, who uses his speed well to create scoring opportunities and force turnovers. The backcourt also has depth with freshman Terry Rozier and the returning Kevin Ware. The frontcourt has two of the toughest forwards in the country in Chane Behanan and Montrezl Harrell, and both are capable of scoring and defending in the paint. The key for Louisville is adjusting to not having a true big man to rely on, especially having someone to replace Gorgui Dieng as a rim protector. It will likely be a backcourt-dominant team again, but the frontcourt will need to produce consistently.

Nike KD 6 – Black – Orange – Red
January 19th, 2014 by Brendan Dunne | 3 comments
Could this be a possible KD 6 that's meant for March Madness? The colorway doesn't get too wild with respect to the blocking, but it's certainly not a NIKEiD creation (Trust us, we tried). That leaves the NCAA connection as a possible one-perhaps Durant's line is finally going the TB route this year. Continue reading for a couple more angles on this upcoming pair and then let us know what you think of them down in the comments section. Also, check back in with Sneaker News to find out a release date in the event of a retail arrival.

Support the Experience of a Lifetime!
Unfortunately, opportunities for exciting outdoor recreation are rare for individuals with cognitive disabilities. Wilderness Inquiry is working hard to change that, and we hope you will help us.
This year we will serve 500 individuals with cognitive disabilities on a variety of outdoor adventures through the Gateway to Adventure program. But we need your help.
- $50 will provide an introductory canoe workshop for an individual with a cognitive disability
- $100 will provide a personal care attendant or trip assistant to allow full participation in a canoe or kayk trip for a person with a cognitive disability
- $250 will provide a piece of adaptive equipment such as a rickshaw or adaptive canoe seat
- $500 will provide a five-day canoe trip in the Boundary Waters for an individual with a cognitive disability
Create Lasting Memories
Your contribution will make a big difference in the life of an individual with a cognitive disability. Linda, a young woman with a developmental disability wrote this to us after her trip:
"I liked the people and making new friends. Enjoyed being outside and doing activities I would not otherwise be able do to if it wasn't for WI and the friendly/helpful staff."
WI provides a variety of support services to allow full participation by people with disabilities, including adaptive equipment, personal care attendants, and sign language interpreters.

Impressionism – Dos and Don'ts
Impressionism is one of the latter art styles. There are some criteria's and techniques that define it, but are they really a must have or just a definition?
According to Wikipedia.org –
"Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists exhibiting their art publicly in the 1860s. The name of the movement is derived from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant), which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satiric review published in Le Charivari."
Thus the term initially defined a single painting.
Then, again according to Wikipedia.org it was used more broadly –
"Characteristics of Impressionist paintings include visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, the inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles.
The emergence of Impressionism in the visual arts was soon followed by analogous movements in other media which became known as Impressionist music and Impressionist literature.
Impressionism also describes art created in this style, but outside of the late 19th century time period."
So, what do you need to do as an artist to insure that your artwork fits the definition of impressionism? Interestingly, not much.
The term is so 'widely' defined that virtually any artwork, unless it can be absolutely positively defined as abstract (or it's variation such as cubism, etc...) can fit the term.
Most artists nowadays use visible brush strokes (yes you can see them in virtually any painting if you are close enough).
Most artist use open composition.
Almost anyone knows how to use light and make emphasis on it. Outside of abstract oil paintings (or probably broader definition of abstract and oil paintings) you can not really create an artwork without using light and making emphasis on its qualities.
Most of the art will cover ordinary subject mater, unless it is futuristic artwork.
All art is about perception and experience and again most artwork is about experiences we (humans) have.
No artist will probably agree that their visual angles are not unusual, thus most are using unusual visual angles.
Thus, this really leaves only handful of exceptions – abstract paintings, etc... and one rule. But even the rule is really more of a guideline than a rule. The rule is: "In pure Impressionism the use of black paint is avoided."
So, take a hard look at all the paintings you have the chances are 90% of the artwork that is not abstract is actually impressionism.
And here are some examples of impressionism art:Impressionism Oil Paintings on Canvas.

Going to a restaurant with a fancy menu is a great way to impress a date, who might not otherwise know you can read. Order for the table with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $20 for $40 worth of dinner for two or more people
- $35 for $70 worth of dinner for four or more people
The dinner menu showcases crispy jerk pork belly with coconut rice and sweet plantains ($8), asian-style shrimp and wasabi spiked grits ($15), and a vegan pasta entree with zucchini, squash, basil, and a glaze of marinara sauce ($12).
Front Porch Cafe
Miami locals stroll toward Front Porch Cafe after a day at the beach, shaking sand from their gold-strap sandals and readjusting the colorful sarongs around their waists. They sidestep groups of tourists making their way down Ocean Drive, intent on securing a coveted seat beneath the bright blue umbrellas on the sunny sidewalk patio. Once seated, diners relax, chattering animatedly over cups of coffee and plates of spicy Cajun scrambles, cheesy omelets, and the freshly baked french toast lauded by reporters from Miami New Times as "warm, doughy and delicious." Cocktails begin to flow as the hour grows late, and pancakes are replaced with juicy burgers and seafood small plates. Once plates are mopped clean, diners recline on their chairs and gaze out at the Atlantic Ocean, or watch guests rolling luggage and caged orangutans into the elegant Z Hotel.
The mastermind behind these hearty brunch dishes and upscale small plates is chef Todd Webster. It's Todd who keeps the restaurant's kitchen stocked with fresh local seafood, locally farmed produce, and responsibly farmed meats. Todd folds these ingredients into a menu of fine comfort food, infusing pan-American classics with contemporary twists and international influences.
The food here is G-O-O-D. The menu is deceptively simple, but the ingredients are super fresh and perfectly prepared.Nicole K., Yelp, 8/23/12

Lil Wayne Bed-Rocked By $15M Lawsuitby Free Britney at . Comments
Lil Wayne, along with Universal Music Group, Cash Money Records and Young Money Entertainment, was hit with a lawsuit by Done Deal Enterprises.
Their allegation? That the rapper stole the 2009 hit song "Bedrock."
The track, included on Young Money Entertainment's CD We Are Young Money, also features artists Drake, Nicki Minaj and Lloyd and was a mega-hit.
Lil Wayne is being sued for some serious cash money!
The group seeks $15 million payout for copyright infringement. Dwayne Carter Jr. (Wayne's real name) has been ordered to appear in court October 12.
Wayne is also facing legal trouble for alleged unpaid royalties to the production duo Play-N-Skillz from a 2008 collaboration with T-Pain on Tha Carter III.
Weezy's response: "They can't stop me ... even if they stopped me."
The man is bombarded with panties wherever he goes. We buy it.
love lil wayne foreva!!
@Chely your a bitch so fuck off!!!
Well I know he lifted this one for sure. I did my homework on this one and I found the original Bedrock song on Indie charts by a guy named Blue Marley. The song was posted on the indie charts a few months before they recorded it. The hook is word for word!!And the name of Marley's song was Bedrock!! What are the chances of that? Plus in this article look at his response"they can't stop me..even if they stopped me!" That to me is admitting guilt or he is so arrogant he thinks he is a god!
@ riley..... ur right cuz he neva writes anything dwn dumbass he remembers it. U can talk crap all u wnt but to say he doesnt write his own raps is a very huge misconception on ur part. He has dozens upon dozens of songs out theres no way in hell hes lifting all that from otha ppl.
Always knew that lil looser AKA lil wayne wasn't capable of writing his own songs.

Where to begin…
Lately I hear a lot of talk about these "real niggas" and how desirable they are. I mean people want real niggas as friends, life partners, and in general everyday situations. That seems okay. I mean who wouldn't want someone real in their lives. No one has time for the fake shit. After all, a real nigga is said to be loyal, "100", and just all around thorough.
I sat and thought to myself "Tripp, who do people deem real niggas?" I was a tad disappointed in the results. I got back Young Jeezy, Jada Kiss, Chief Keef(lmao), Jay-z (and a long ass list of other rappers and local hood niggas). Not to say these real niggas aren't good people, they're just not the people I'd want my kids idolizing. At some point I think we stooped so low as to believe that the urban hustler (i.e. the typical real nigga) was an accomplishment. Again, I'm not knocking the hustle, but do we not want better for ourselves?
Why is it that we only aim for the top of the bottom? That's about as cool as being the skinniest fat person in the room.
Last I had checked honesty, handling business, and loyalty were characteristics of being a real man. I think I like that tittle much better. MAN. Kind of has a ring to it doesn't it? I think real man I think my father, my big brother, teachers, doctors, shit even janitors. I think about people who paid or are paying dues to make sure that at the end of the day business is handled.
Maybe I'm misguided, but I think I'll choose to be a man.
YOU can keep that real nigga shit on your side of this screen.

In the month of September — only in its 11th day, I remind you — two men who share a last name have become the go-to-and-dump-on guys on this dumb little blog. And it's a hairline call as to which Cox has had it tougher. Before I render judgment on this burning issue, let's consider the cases:
Bobby Cox: Has seen his Braves lose six of their past eight games to fall from three games behind wild card leader Colorado to an out-of-it 8 1/2 games behind. (The Braves are actually a half-game closer to NL East leader Philadelphia than to the Rockies, not that it will do much good.) Has seen them swept at home by sub-.500 Cincinnati on a weekend when the Reds mustered 10 runs in 30 innings but still more than doubled the Braves' output.
Has gotten ejected for the 150th time in his career, which means he has been tossed from nearly a full season's worth of games. Has seen his redeployed starter, Kenshin Kawakami, yield the winning run in extra innings when he beaned the opposing pitcher with the bases loaded. Has seen eight shutout innings by Tommy Hanson wasted in Houston when closer Rafael Soriano was touched for two runs while recording one out. Has gotten hammered in this space, first here and then here.
Joe Cox: Has seen his patience rewarded not by sudden success but by illness, defeat and a public outcry. Has contracted the flu and played against Oklahoma State in a weakened condition, and played not all that well. Has presided over Georgia's first season-opening loss since 1996. Has apparently heard the same fans who were lauding his leadership and his passing accuracy in August lamenting his lack of both in September.
Has incited a portion of the electorate by saying he cares nothing for critics. Has inadvertently been the source of an Internet furor when it was reported (erroneously) that Logan Gray would start against South Carolina on Saturday for the apparently sore-shouldered Cox, and clearly some members of his constituency were displeased when they learned the incumbent was still the incumbent.
Who has had it worse? The Bobby-must-go lobby has risen to defeaning status this week, which marks a change from the usual constant roar. You'd think the guy had never managed a winning club, let alone a first-place finisher. (At last check, he'd done that 15 times, more than any manager in history.)
But the decision goes to the younger man. Bobby Cox gets paid upwards of $3 million to take the heat. Joe Cox is an amateur and gets paid only in tuition, books, room, board and incidentals. He has had it much worse, and I feel sorry for him.
Which leads us to … our next post, which will address the topic: Has college football become such a big business as to have squeezed out the last measure of sentimentality?
September 11th, 2009
10:28 am
Bobby has had the worse few years. So far Joe has had one bad game.
September 11th, 2009
10:34 am
Public outcry against Joe Cox is a little exaggerated isn't it? He'll be fine. It's normal for a vocal group of fans to want the next guy in line to take over at QB if things don't look so good — James what's his name to be replaced by Wayne Johnson to be replaced by Greg Talley to be replaced by Eric Zeier. But most Bulldog fans are just pulling for Joe to get better and are hoping the flu explains his performance in Saturday's game. (Which wasn't great, but that's not why we lost — we had at least 3 key dropped passes, one of which led to an interception, we couldn't handle at least three Ok St interceptions, we fumbled twice, and with a useless block in the back we annulled a great punt return that would have likely led to a TD — give us half of those back and we probably win, even with the bad 4th down spot and the bogus unnecessary roughness. We lost b/c as a team we weren't sharp. We lost b/c we played like freshmen.).
September 11th, 2009
10:47 am
No excues. Execute, run the ball, catch the ball, play good defense. Do that and we roll. Fail and it will be the usual close game.
September 11th, 2009
10:47 am
Cox has had it worst, hands down.
September 11th, 2009
10:57 am
Some of the things that Bobby Cox does (or does not do) are so absurd that you have to wonder if he is the ONLY person who would do this.
HOW ABOUT we start a list with the preface:
I will start it off with a couple.
September 11th, 2009
10:59 am
Is Bobby Cox the only person who would have left Chipper in the 3rd spot in the order throughout his prolonged slump????
September 11th, 2009
11:00 am
Is Bobby Cox the only person who would have delayed putting Prado in the lineup for months after it was obvious to everyone else??
September 11th, 2009
11:01 am
Is Bobby Cox the only person who would have continued to use and use a couple of relief pitchers who were terrible during the first half of the season??
September 11th, 2009
11:02 am
Way to take a stand there, Nick. Seriously, Bobby has taken the bigger hit just because his decisions lately have diminished his stature as a manager in so many peoples' eyes.
September 11th, 2009
11:02 am
at least joe cox always has a great gameplan behind him.
September 11th, 2009
11:03 am
Is Bobby Cox the only person who year after year would fail to teach/emphasze/demand the absolute essentil of working and count and being selective – to his hitters
September 11th, 2009
11:09 am
Sorry, Bobby wine hands down. Joe had one bad game (to this point) and should be given one more week to improve.
Bobby on the other hand, has made bonehead decisions and moved all year. His stubborness in dealing with theJohnson fiasco at second base, and his continuing to run Jordan Schafer out every day when the kid plainly wasn't ready is assinine. And now refusing to move Chipper down in the lineup until he gets his swing back and what is up with our best hitter at the moment Laroache hitting 7th and 8th?
September 11th, 2009
11:19 am
Which Joe had it worst? That depends on what you mean. Bobby Cox knows success. This year must really be wearing on him.
Joe Cox is just not that good. I can promise you that other SEC teams are not living in fear of Joe Cox and beating Georgia this year will not be considered an upset for most teams in that league. I'd have to say that Joe Cox has to have it worse.

Yeah, but Ok State had about 5 potential interceptions that they dropped which would have amounted to a blowout win. We lost and Cox underperformed. He is short and slow – I don't think the flu affected his ability to be 6′3″ or 6′4″.

No contest here. I'd much rather be the sure-thing Hall of Fame manager with unquestioned talent (whether it has faded or not may be open to debate but you'd have to be fairly baseball stupid to think he was a no-talent guy) rather than the talent-challenged quarterback. I say all that but sheepishly add that I suspect Joe Cox is a fine young man who gives the Dawgs everything he has. The problem may be just that – he's giving everything he has and it's not enough.
September 11th, 2009

MB – there is no debate. Joe was terrible (that is being kind), but it was only one game . Booby has been terrible for years. What's scary is that you're just catching on.
You know you want to say it: Booby must go!!!

College football has not only squeezed out sentimentality but it's also eliminated common courtesy and civility — between fans of the same team.
Have a good weekend everyone.

Joe Cox has it tougher no doubt. Bobby has won before, and had a long and great career because of it. Cox has never proved hmself, and the SEC is definetky no an easy place to try and start building your confidence and composure.

Is Bobby Cox the only person who would have continued to bat Andruw Jones cleanup?
September 11th, 2009

Mark B. Instead of Joe C. Should your question include Mark R. ? I mean CMR recruited this red headed clown. Clemson's R\Freshman QB Looked light years better than Joe C. Who's fault is that?

First… Joe Cox didn't contract the flu. He had flu-like symptoms. If he had the flu, he wouldn't have been able to get out of bed, let alone throw a bunch of wounded ducks around the field.
Second… no other manager has done less with more than Bobby Cox has. Remember Mark, his teams lost to WORSE teams than themselves TEN TIMES in the playoffs.
TEN TIMES. That's inexcusable.
It's not Joe Cox's fault that he shouldn't be starting at Georgia.
It's not Joe Cox's fault that he's been given a starting job on this SEC team when he couldn't start for any other of the SEC's teams.
That's Mark Richt's fault. Mark Richt's patterns of putting HIS sentimentality over what it takes to win is well documented.
Bobby Cox SHOULD have been fired after 1996. In ANY other city, he would have been fired after 1997.
The fact that people are finally waking up to Bobby's ineptitude amazes me that it's taken this long.
I say Bobby is having the first month because FINALLY, people aren't willing to except his bumbling anymore. The spell is over.

The cost of attending Collegiate Football (good seats require both purchase and a costly donation) has gotten to the point where fans expect to get value for the cost! Period. Don't go giving excuses each year when you have a team loaded with NFL type talent (roster filled with 4 and 5 star recruits) and yet keep giving us excuses. "OH NO, We have had a lot of injuries". "Oh No, one kid is showing signs of being sick". "Oh No, the fans were a little rough even though we make them pay out of the nose to attend our games". Just a few quotes that may or may not have been used in the past two years out of only one of our states beloved universities. No idea what's been said around Atlanta, Statesboro, Valdosta, Carrollton or other locations with football teams but I am sure they too have their whining coaches deceiving the public about the truth. "He simply is not a top 5 coach in the SEC much less the nation". Here are five I would love to have over him…
1. Saban
2. Meyers
3. Nutt
4. Petrino
5. Kiffin
6. Vandy coach Johnson
7. Spurrier
Oops…I guess there are at least 7 better coaches.
AAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. (Sound of this Dawg howling at the moon in utter frustration)

Has Bobby had the flu for the last 20 years? If not, then he's just a plain idiot based on his performance.
September 11th, 2009

Probably Joe because College football attains mythical status in the South whereas baseball is just baseball.
C'mon Joe, put your game face on. Actually it seems he never takes it off.
September 11th, 2009
11:51 am
Joe has it worse! How can fans rake college players over the coals and then expect them to stick it out all years of their eligibility? Either be loyal to your players and let them learn (which is, last I checked, what college is for), or don't call them disloyal for leaving as soon as they can. If they're not getting paid, they shouldn't have to put up with such hateful comments about them, their families, their personalities, etc…. Let kids be kids!

No question what so ever. Joe has it rougher. Why? Because he does care what happens to his team, and understand the Dawg nation demands perfection. Bobby on the other hand knows he is not going anywhere. Yeah he won 15 divison titles and 1 WS. The question is how many championships should he have won. Its time for tough love send him packing. In regards to Joe, hell at least let him play another game or two before you hang him.

Bobby Hands Down. Taking Hanson out and replacing him with tired arm Rafeal when the Kid was still in control of game was the straw for me. You can't keep parading those three out every night and now it is clear that they have been used up this year. As far as Schaefer, Johnson and Chipper,Loyalty only goes so far.
September 11th, 2009
12:05 pm
what kind of stupid question, oh, it is just to go easy on bobby again, forget it, he only won with
the superstars, cannot manage youngsters.
September 11th, 2009
12:09 pm
One call did it all for me. When Bobby made the call to the pen to replace Hanson with Soriano, that one call proved to me that Bobby no longer learns from experience. Joe has youth on his side and still has time to learn from mistakes. Thus, time has come for Bobby to "eject" himself into retirement, while the time has come for Joe to "project" himself into a bright future. Thanks to Bobby for his years of exciting Atlanta Braves baseball. Good luck to Joe whose exciting days are ahead of him.
September 11th, 2009
12:11 pm
It's unfortunate for Joe Cox ailing as he was to become a scapegoat for a fan base that's been fed up with sporadic play year in and out and bad coaching on both sides of the ball. He didn't play very well after the opening drive and the same can be said for the rest of the team and coaches as well. GA fans just took their frustration out on Joe because he's the QB. Brush it off Joe, it's not really you. It's like the CA forest fires. It only takes one tiny burning ember to reignite the forest and to fan the flames of discontent among the GA faithful once more year after year. Get it done this Sat Joe, and put out the fire.

Bobby Cox has had a bad month. But I think the Braves have done pretty good to be over .500 with the lineup this year. If you look at this honestly, the Braves would have had to win over 90 games to get a playoff spot. This lineuplacks power and speed. I think the only way they could have beaten out the Rockies or the Phillies would have been if a lot of guys on this team had career years at the plate. And on top of everything, Chipper is having the worst year of his career. How is this Bobby's fault?!?
September 11th, 2009
12:19 pm
I think Joe Cox has it rougher, as of right now. Regardless of Bobby's recent flounderings, he's going to Cooperstown and he'll be remembered as one of the best. If Joe keeps on the way he's going, he'll be remembered as a never-was.

Dumb question, in the last 30 days B Cox has seen his teams chances for post season play evaporate. While J Cox lost a game and didn't play particularly well, his teams goals are all still attainable. B Cox goes home to his wife, J Cox has 5,000 beautiful coeds to pursue. I say B Cox has it worse

Hey Donny boy I lost faith in Joe Cox with his comments to the Media. If he cant stand the heat then he needs to take himself out of the Kitchen.

It has to be Bobby. He gets paid to not be stupid. Bobby deals with the media and paying fans all the time. Joe is just to stupid to know what to say. Joe should know better than to kick a cornered Dawg when it is scared and fighting for it's life, but Joe is going to UGA. So, joe can't be too smart. Joe should know the mentality of DAWG FANS better than to call them THE STUPID KNOW NOTHINGS they really are. What was Joe thinking? I know it is hard to believe, but Dawg fans can actually read. Bobby will still get to talk to the media. I will bet until JOE wins and has a great game while doing it, he will not get so many chances to run his mouth

Perfect, easy prep and great combination of salty/sweet. I boiled baby carrots briefly, then prepared as directed.
Honey-and-Soy Glazed Carrots
Photo: © John Kernick
Honey and soy make these Sautéed carrots pleasingly sweet and salty, with a rich golden brown color around the edges.
Yield: 8
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 2-by-1/2-inch sticks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter. Stir in the carrots and soy sauce and cook over high heat until the carrots are browned in spots, 2 minutes. Stir in the honey and cook until the carrots are glazed, 2 minutes longer. Transfer to a platter and serve.

Recipe: Cinnamon Walnut Dulce de Leche Bars
Do you like dulce de leche? I mean, how could you not. Creamy, rich, and sweet — it's caramelized milk and sugar with just a hint of tanginess. And these cookie bars are oozing with this Latin American sweet treat — plus just a dash of cinnamon and walnuts.
I adapted these bars from Nick Malgieri's recipe for Caramel Crumb Bars. These are fabulous (I believe Nick says that if had to choose just one cookie this would be it). But I found the recipe as written slightly confusing and when I made them the caramel filling didn't turn out as dark and rich as I would like. So I started tweaking.
I added a little more salt to the shortbread base, and some walnuts and cinnamon to the topping. I cooked the filling longer to make sure it darkened into that truly dark and gooey dulce de leche that I loved.
These might still look a little tricky, but they come together incredibly fast. The dough makes the base of the cookies, but then you add a little more butter and flour and make a crumb topping to sprinkle over top as well. I made these twice in the last two days and both times they were very well received! They're chewy, with a bit of crunch from the walnuts, and gooey in the middle with all that creamy dulce de leche. They are definitely my new favorite go-to dessert!
Cinnamon Walnut Dulce de Leche Bars
About 24 bar cookies
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
Kosher salt
Dough & Crumb Walnut Topping
1 1/8 cups unsalted butter (2 1/4 sticks, or 18 tablespoons), softened and divided
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar, divided
2 tablespoons dark rum, divided
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1/2 cup dulce de leche, to serve (optional)
Heat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and then line the pan with parchment paper so the ends hang over the long sides.
Make the filling: Whisk the butter, honey, brown sugar, and sweetened condensed milk in a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes. The mixture will turn from a creamy pale caramel color to a darker, browned-toast color (see photo above). Whisk frequently to prevent too many scorched bits from developing. After 15 minutes, whisk the mixture thoroughly one more time and remove from the heat.
Make the dough: While the filling is simmering, make the dough. Beat 1 cup unsalted butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon rum in the bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy. Stir in 2 1/4 cups flour, the salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir just until a soft dough forms and the dough pulls away from the bowl.
Pat 3/4 of the dough into the prepared baking pan. Pat and spread it into an even layer. Pour the finished filling over the dough and use an offset spatula to spread it evenly.
Make the crumb walnut topping: Add the remaining 1/2 cup flour to the dough that is left in the bowl. Add the walnuts, the remaining teaspoon of cinnamon, and the remaining 1 tablespoon rum. Drop in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and use your fingers to mix everything together until it forms soft, clumpy crumbs.
Sprinkle these crumbs over the filling in the pan. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned.
Remove and let cool for 15 minutes. The use the parchment paper ends to lift the cookies out of the pan and place them on a rack to finish cooling.
Serve at room temperature or slightly warm. If desired, you can drizzle warm dulce de leche over the bars before serving. Slice into 2-inch squares to serve.

YUM! I'm drooling! These Dulce Le Leche Bars look absolutely Scrumptious!!!
I've found that dulce de leche is a good add-in to any bar recipe that you would like some more chew from. It works just like peanut butter in that respect, except it adds a nice butterscotchy flavor instead of a peanut butter flavor, which isn't always appropriate for bar cookies. It also helps to keep the bars moister for longer (just like honey or molasses).
You mention cinnamon and salt in the list of filling ingredients, but they are not mentioned in the instructions.
The cinnamon and salt are in the instructions for the crust.
From this cook, here are my notes, after making these today, with an important side note, my stove is electric, so I don't know if that makes a difference:
I found that to get that dark caramelly color for the filling, I had to cook FAR, FAR longer than 15 minutes, and, in fact, it was closer to 30.
Also, the filling was very greasy and even when I whisked (carefully... hot butter splats hurt), as soon as I stopped the butter separated from the rest. I poured out some of the butter before spreading it in the pan.
Let the filling cool a bit before pouring it over the crust if you've had to cook it a long time.
WARNING!!!! These are SERIOUSLY addicting, and you should probably make two pans worth, since you're going to eat the entire first one by yourself.
is it possible to omit the rum? what can i substitute it with? (forgive me if you've mentioned it in this post already!)
A stunning array of cookies, but this dulce de leche has my vote! Decadent!!!
Is this bar cookie sturdy enough to be held in the hand and eaten, or does it need to be served on a plate with a fork?
these look absolutely delicious...i'm afraid i'd have to substitute pecans, since i absolutely despise walnuts, but still...YUM!
Just wondering, where does the last quarter cup of brown sugar go to after the first half of three quarters were added in? I'm guessing the crumb part?

Grant Management:
Improvements Needed in Federal Oversight of NSF Grants
T-RCED-91-92: Published: Sep 24, 1991. Publicly Released: Sep 24, 1991.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
GAO discussed grant administration at the National Science Foundation (NSF), focusing on the federal oversight process for the NSF grant program at three institutions. GAO noted that: (1) NSF has given grant recipients almost total responsibility for ensuring that funds are used in accordance with applicable federal requirements, but the effectiveness of controls over the use of grant funds varies by university; (2) although the three universities established controls over expenditures charged to NSF grants, there were instances of federal fund misuse that the institutions failed to prevent or detect; (3) other investigations identified instances of NSF fund misuse at universities that resulted in larger problems that may have gone undetected if allegations of misuse had not been reported and investigated; (4) although NSF primarily relies on required independent audits to ensure that larger institutions protect the government's interest, it has not received many of those audits because federal guidelines do not explicitly require institutions to perform or submit acceptable audits to NSF; and (5) NSF lacks a mechanism to ensure that grantees inform it of misconduct involving grant funds.

This was my first time ever making anything with butternut squash. I made it for my vegetarian sister in law so I used organic vegetable broth instead of chicken. The squash and apples took more like 40 minutes of simmering to become tender and I used at least a cup more of broth to keep it from being too thick when I ran it through the blender. But the combination of flavors was wonderful and everyone loved it and wanted more. Gave the recipe out to 2 family members - will definitely make again!

recipe was prepared exactly as written and it was very good.

I've made other butternut squash soups before and always found them boring. I made this in my pressure cooker and it was wonderful! I doubled the recipe, sauteed the onion and garlic in the cooker, added the squash, apples, 2 cups of chicken stock, fresh sage, nutmeg, salt and pepper and cooked it on high in my pressure cooker for 12 minutes. Then, I let it cool slightly and blended it with one more cup of broth and a can of milk. It was easy, simple, healthy and flavorful! I love this soup.

I was amazed at how tasty this was. I've made other butternut squash soup recipes, and have usually found them bland. I typically need to tweak spices to improve flavor in lighter recipes, but this one was just perfect. Great combination of sweet and savory. Excellent for a light dinner, and would be fabulous as an appetizer. This one will definitely get made again... SOON!

Wow! Delicious soup! Easy to make and easy on the calorie content. I will make it for everyday meals and would consider it as a new tradition on our Thanksgiving table. I didn't want to store the remaining evaporated milk, so I added the enitre 12 oz. can. In addition, I used a brilliant orange "Sunshine" squash. Yummy!

Cimarex Energy Co.'s (XEC) first-quarter earnings fell 15% as lower oil and natural-gas liquids prices continued to pressure the company's bottom line.
Cimarex's drilling activities are conducted within the Permian Basin and the midcontinent region, areas attracting renewed interest as advanced technologies like horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing are unlocking energy trapped in vast shale formations. But Cimarex's revenue has been challenged of late by lower prices for oil, natural-gas liquids and gasoline.
The company also agreed in November to sell certain noncore, long-lived oil and gas properties in Texas for $294 million.
For the quarter ended March 31, Cimarex reported a profit of $89.9 million, or $1.04 a share, down from $106.1 million, or $1.23 a share, a year earlier. The most-recent quarter included a hedging loss of two cents a share, while the year-earlier quarter included a three-cent hedging loss.
Revenue edged up 0.8% to $426.4 million as production rose 10% to an average of 661.1 million cubic feet equivalent per day.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had most recently forecast per-share earnings of $1.08 on revenue of $429 million.
Operating margin fell to 33.9% from 39%.
Oil sales--which contribute most of the top line--dropped 3.6% to $257.5 million. Gas sales climbed 19% to $101.1 million, and sales of natural-gas liquids fell 3.6% to $56.9 million.
Oil prices per barrel decreased 13% to $86.31. Gas prices climbed 16%, while prices for natural-gas liquids dropped 20%.
Shares closed Monday at $75 and were inactive premarket. The stock is up 30% since the beginning of the year.
