Yeah, kinda like the big FU they just gave to shareholders.
What I don't understand is why the SEC decided that dark pools and HFT systems were acceptable and/or necessary to begin with. Both mechanisms seem to run counter to the principles of an equitable and transparent public market system.
You are the one being naive if you believe that BBD will continue to do deals at that discount rate for the foreseeable future. The 60% off sale is nearing its end.
So where is SSTK on this?
@SAN FRANCISCO - Getty Images is banking on immersive virtual reality supplanting static photographs as the dominant way we experience remote worlds. The 21-year-old photo agency announced Tuesday that it is creating a new Getty Images Virtual Reality Group, whose aim is to grow the current crop of 12,000 360-degree still images that Getty has amassed over the last four years.
about 22% less than they should get if you go by what Mr. Dell paid to steal DELL from its public shareholders.
Jeffries analyst gave the group a big fat thumbs down. But apparently they like AYI.
@Philips Lighting has shone brightly since its IPO on May 27 but analysts at Jefferies have warned it looks set to fade. Unconditional dealings in the Philips' spinoff began yesterday in Amsterdam after the IPO of about 25% of the group and the stock by Tuesday's close had risen to euro 22.30 from an IPO price of euro 20.00. But, initiating coverage, Jefferies slapped an underperform tag on the stock and set a price target of just euro 17.00. "The dominant profit producer (Lamps) is in structural decline, LED lamps are inherently more competitive and Home (which is loss-making) is too small to matter. The key to the investment case is therefore Professional, which is 37% of sales but much less profitable than leading peers. We are sceptical about the turnaround prospects," Jefferies said. The analysts noted that the company's professional unit - its second largest - commands lower margins than its peers, or 5% compared with about 14% for Acuity (AYI) .
I am not a sales&marketing guy and it appears I misunderstood your reference to the term e-commerce..I thought it was identical to DTC, but I see now it implies all forms of internet-based interactions. I agree NSRGY could not continue to do well without an online presence, but I also do not think they will lose out if they don't adopt a DTC system.
Not sure I follow you. Certainly standard media (TV and print) and more recently e-marketing to promote and raise brand awareness are essential. But I believe NSRGY sales are primarily through wholesale and retail distribution in brick and mortar stores - grocers, convenience stores, etc. I don't think the majority of consumers buy their food goods online yet.
How does a stock trade millions of shares daily and not move in price? BBD has been stuck in neutral for several days even as the market plows ahead.
How much was GILD down when the courts previously ruled in favour of MRK?
The new target price for SHPG was put out last Friday after the deal closed
@6/3/2016 Jefferies Group Boost Price Target Buy $223.00 - $262.00
SHP.L closed on the LSE at 4407 GBp today The new target price is ~37% higher. That corresponds to an ADR target price of ~260.
@Shire : *JEFFERIES RAISES SHIRE PRICE TARGET TO 6050 PENCE - 'BUY' 06/06/2016 | 03:00am EDT
I recall waiting up to a week for settlement after a deal closed, but a month is absurd. Glad to see you got it sorted out.
Yes, EXC previously warned that they might have to shut down the plants, if the state did not take actions to address the fact that the plants are losing money in the current environment of low price power. Now they have issued a decision and taken charges against their balance sheet.
Although new plants add to U demand, each plant that shuts down reduces it. The output from a plant that shuts down may never be replaced, due to energy demand reduction through efficiency programs (led lighting etc), or if it is, it could be by a different type of generation source (natgas fired, solar, wind). That nuclear output is lost forever, irrespective of any U demand growth from new nuclear plants. The end effect is that net demand for U is lower than it might have been if the plants had not shut down. Period.
Well there it is finally.
@EMC special meeting of its shareholders to be held on July 19, 2016
Close of business on May 13, 2016 announced as the record date for the special meeting
Shareholders planning to attend must pre-register no later than July 12, 2016
The transaction is on schedule under the original timetable and the original terms
Hmm... volume traded today is not even close to that of the few days preceding the merger. I wonder what fraction of float was held by arbs through the close of the deal? If they didn't buy back on the open market to close out their short SHPG leg of the trade, I assume that now they will simply transfer the shares received back to the MM who supplied them. And of course not all former BXLT shareholders (excluding arbs) will want to dispose of their new SHPG shares. So unless volume picks up in the next few days, there may not be any significant selling pressure. In that case the stock price should start to move up in short order.
NSRGY is set to trial online sales. Interesting approach to try to increase sales growth there.
@3:19 am Nestle to offer its entire range of locally produced products and others from overseas to consumers via Alibaba (BABA) Groups e-commerce platforms (NSRGY) : The six month joint campaign leverages Alibaba's online and mobile marketplaces. The campaign features more than 150 products from 30 brands, 67 of which are new for Chinese consumers including Nido milk powder from the Netherlands, Nestl Damak chocolate from Turkey, Nescaf Gold from France, and Nestl and Wyeth infant formula products from Switzerland, the UK and Germany.
As these low price levels I suspect the each new order will produce a step change in the stock price. There will not be any way to control this. In fact, contrary to your thinking, I would prefer BBD make a flurry of announcements at each show and leave the market makers scrambling like rats to get all their remaining luggage on board the ship. Then slow steady sailing back up.
Meanwhile DELL keeps floating new bonds to fund the takeover. If they have to bump up their offer by 22% to close the deal what kind of bond issuance grades will that entail I wonder
@The computer giant announces a multi-billion dollar junk bond to fund its $67-billion buyout of EMC.
Still not a peep out of EMC about the vote date.

Hi. I am a pre-op transsexual woman, and I have lived in West Hartford for over 11.5 years. I have been 'out' since May of 2006, and have worn women's clothing 100% of the time since then. My life has been about transition since coming out.
Some people read me as 'guy wearing women's clothing,' and other people read me as 'woman,' or 'girl,' it is hard to tell.
I am writing because I read about this website in Marie Claire earlier this afternoon, and was catcalled at about 2:10 pm today not very far from where I live. The people who catcalled me were roofers working on someone's house. I was walking down the street, which I do quite often, and I was starting to feel good on my walk. I had just passed a woman who was on a bicycle and she smiled and said hello to me. I started to feel better and was going over my thoughts in my head when I looked across the street to my right, and there was a man staring at me. I quickly looked away, but not before they had seen me and I heard a loud yell from one of the roofers on the roof, responding to me. I tried to get a gauge of the situation but I could not, there were three or four of them and I wanted to look away and get out of there. I felt lower energy after they catcalled me and had a frown on my face. Before they did that I was smiling and I felt good about myself. West Hartford is a very negative energy place, and there are lots of these types of people around here. I usually avoid them, but I cannot always.
I had an experience a week ago Friday, as well.
I was coming out of the salon, where I had just gotten my haircut, and I had had a very good appointment. I walked about 30 feet down the street and I heard someone from the corner of my awareness say 'Hi Sweetheart.' I knew immediately that it was a deadbeat in a truck, and so I didn't look. He then moved his truck closer and I heard him say 'Hi Sweetie.' I looked, and he had his window rolled down and had slowed down to do this to me, and I gave him the finger. He seemed to feel some sense of fulfillment, then he went on his way.
I have been catcalled by young girls on that street, as well.
I have also had a young girl take my photo, as well.
I have had truckers honk their horns, a man shout from his pickup truck in a busy Blue Back Square, men who were working for the town whistle at me across the street, a man catching my attention to blow kisses at me from his pickup truck, and I have had a man stalking me in his van in Avon, CT.
These experiences leave me feeling unsafe, uncomfortable, nervous, frightened and scared, and I often will have difficulty sleeping at night after an experience like these, depending on the severity and the situation.
I rarely seek help with these experiences, although I do talk in therapy, and often will talk with friends about it.
I feel as though I cannot control what these people do, so I try to ignore it.
Today I wondered if those men who had catcalled felt better after doing it, or worse. I know that I would feel terrible if I did to someone what they did to me. I know that I felt slightly less after they did that to me than I did a split second before they did, so it confuses me as to why these men do this.
I can only hope that men like this will become obsolete over time, and have to either change their ways or be outcast themselves.
I would like to see catcalling, bullying, ridiculing or otherwise verbally harassing someone = mandatory 2 years in jail.
Thank you for the ability to write this information.

A white car stopped to let me cross the street at El Cerrito Plaza. Suddenly, I start to hear strange noises that sounded like animals. The animals were the two men in that white car who screamed aloud so that anybody in the street could notice I was the "cause" of all that noise (at least that's how I felt). Then they said something about my ass.
I'm not American, English is not my mother tongue and I felt so desperate that I couldn't find the words to respond to that assault. I just crossed the street as if nothing happened, as if no stupid animal full of testosterone was in that car.
I'm really only sharing this story for two reasons:
1. I said nothing at the time and venting about it here with be something of a catharsis.
2. My mom is an old-school feminist. For context, she joined the boy's track team back in the day–despite hearty protests by parents and staff–in order to force the school system to instate female sports teams. In other words, my mom is awesome and I want to express why.
My home town is a pretty nice area, but it's also the hub of a lot of tourist activity. My basic rule is to avoid downtown at all costs because while the locals are typically upstanding folk, the tourists we attract are usually… well…
My mom and I stopped off at a gas station the other day on our way to go shopping and when we were returning to our car we saw that a van of at least four guys had parked beside us.
I've had so many experiences with cat-callers that I was filled with dread at the very idea of walking by. The driver even had his door opened, blocking my way to the passenger door. "Oh great," I thought. "Here we go."
But before I even got close, he pulled his door closed and for a brief moment hope filled me. Perhaps this was not going to be yet another story I'd share with my friends to the tune of "Why in God's name do men behave like–"
Or not.
And it was not simply one of them, but all of them howling and shouting and trying to get my attention.
I ignored them, got in the car, and pulled the door shut.
But my Mom? She didn't say anything. She never has to. She simply gave them one look–a look capable of melting steel–and IMMEDIATELY the abuse stopped. The driver even began to wave his hands in a way that highly resembled someone pleading to not be shot.
This is not the first time my mom has put an end to abuse without saying a single word. She is only 5'2 and 100lbs, but if you holla at her daughter, she will rock you with just one look.
By LAUREN ZINK
"…we need to highlight the fact that most men are not violent or abusive in their relationships. To these men I would say — speak out. Let it be known among your peers that you do not support or condone abuse. This is important, because men who use violence in their relationships often assume that the men they know do too. We need to change that belief system, and it's other men who can most effectively get that message across. In some of the gang rapes we have heard about, many people knew what was happening, but chose not to intervene or get help. I know that it is not easy for men to step forward, but it can make a real difference." – Lynn Rosenthal, first-ever White House Advisor on Violence Against Women
Hollaback Atlanta's Lauren Zink discusses the importance of male allies and responsible bystanders in the movement to end sexual violence: Let's Hear it For the Boys
While we won't crown the MTA with official Hollaback Hero status just yet, they are certainly on their way.
This neon blue 'Help Point' was spotted at a 6 train station, and the new subway announcement encouraging riders to 'say something' not only if they are the victims of unlawful sexual conduct but also if they see it has already gone into effect. Readers reported hearing it at the 49th St. subway station last Friday.
Use these blue help points to report creeps, wankers, gropers, and stalkers. We'll be keeping our eye out for other possible improvements in the system, like respectful MTA and NYPD employees who respond appropriately to reports of abuse.

I'm not sure exactly how it became socially acceptable to honk and catcall at girls when you, see us walking around Des Moines, but I assure you it doesn't turn us on. I promise I'm not jogging so that you can creepily watch me, and these Target gym shorts I'm wearing are not for your benefit.
Here are a few things that girls don't think when you honk and/or catcall at them:
That boy must be hot and well-endowed.
Oh baby, I love being objectified.
Yes, in fact, I do want to get in your car with you.
Let me just start by informing you that I am not even a little bit attractive when I am jogging. I promise there is nothing about my appearance that could possibly entice you to honk at me. And if I'm wearing high heels and a skirt that goes up to Tahiti, it's still creepy and misogynistic when you honk at me—I promise.
What exactly do you expect to come of your honking/objectifying slur encounter? I have no idea who you are, and since you've now insinuated that I'm a veritable piece of meat, I really don't want to find out. I promise no level of "Hey girl, what you doing tonight?" will make me want to get into the back of your Corolla.
It does not make me feel excited that I've finally caught your attention, which I was so seeking, because I am not seeking your attention. Also, those girls walking a block ahead of me? They don't want it either. Really. And when my friend flips you off and I yell, "hell, yeah, sexism!" this is not an invitation for you to come back and say "hi."
When you honk and catcall at us, it may seem like innocent flirting to you. Perhaps you think you flatter us with your witty attention, or you're showing off for the charming boys also residing in your car. I like to think that you honk because you're compensating for something. Or maybe you're chastising me for being a woman jogging at night, a reminder that the streets are not safe for us poor, fragile little girls. Because here's what it feels like when you call out to me: a threat.
This is what actually goes through my head when you honk: What if he turns around and comes after me? Why does he automatically think he can intimidate and objectify me? Is 'idiot' contagious?
When you honk and yell demeaning things as I pass your car or house, it does not make me want to get to know you better. It actually makes me want to slap you.
This street is not yours and neither is any part of me you can see while I walk down University Avenue. It's ridiculous that you can generally walk around without fear of harassment from passing cars, but for women, it's expected that we suck it up and take it in stride every time we leave a building.
Weirdly enough, I have the right to walk somewhere without being called out to, honked at or leered at, no matter what time of day or type of attire, and just because you can't meet girls in a normal context does not make it OK for you to be a jerk. Leave me alone, and take your sexist, drunken, creepy friends with you.
Want to speak up about street harassment and have your writing published on a website visited by thousands of people a year? Hollaback! is seeking submissions for our first ever essay contest! Winners will have their essays published in Sistersong's "Collective Voices" and posted under the "resources" section of the site.

If you're interested in international affairs, tell us how different countries have challenged this issue. If you're into math, submit a statistical analysis.
Any college or graduate students are eligible. The best articles will be published on the ihollaback.org website this summer, and will be judged on the basis of academic rigor, clarity, writing style, and their potential to advance the field of street harassment. Financial or other forms of compensation will not be provided, but you can rest assured that your efforts will make the world safer for everyone.
To be eligible, you must:
1) Be a currently enrolled college or graduate student.
2) Submit an unpublished academic work of 2000-6000 words on the topic provided.

a. Is the writing clear? Are the arguments presented in a straightforward and logical way?
2) Writing style:
a. Is the writing compelling? Does it engage the reader? Is the writing stylistic and imaginative?
3) Impact: The degree to which the essay contributes something new to the field in which the topic is situated.
a. Does the essay describe the ways in which it presents a unique contribution? Does the author situation him/herself in the context of current academic debates on the subject?
4) Relevance of topic and presentation: Does this topic matter to the work of hollaback?
a. Is there a need for the production of information on this topic at this time? Is it topical, relevant to the work of the movement to end street harassment? Does the article generate new knowledge? Is the information presented in a way that will have impact? (ie. are there analysis or guidelines or documentation that will be useful in furthering the work of an advocacy organization like hollaback, etc)
Walking, not having a good day, have my headphones in.
Some old guy loudly says hi, I mumble hi back and keep walking, he keeps shouting at me long after I have passed by.
I just ignored him so didn't really hear what he was saying, but he was clearly pissed off that I didn't stop to talk with him.
Guess what, folks? Sometimes people have bad days and are not going to be all smiles, and WOMEN ARE PEOPLE, TOO.
Some random stranger angrily shouting that I should smile more and pretty ladies should be friendlier isn't going to make my bad day any better.
Dear Jackson Heights Chachi, internet troll, chicaschicas2, bungabunga, chaci1, genius at IP address 184.108.40.206 and 220.127.116.11 (did you move or get new internet service in December?)
While we realize that you're probably very lonely and angry, we're beginning to become a little concerned for your wellbeing.
Maybe you're so wrapped up in trolling the internet and leaving insightful comments that you don't realize it has become an obsession and it is probably eating away at your already diminished mental health.
Since December you've left close to 50 comments on various posts on our site, some of them only minutes apart, usually very late at night (but at all times of day, really) when you should be sleeping soundly or out having fun with friends. And while we have published none of them, you continue to leave them. They offer such contributions to society and progressive social thought as:
"I touched ma ass. I'm turning myself in. Where do I go to get my brain enema?"
"endonde esta el bathroom? I need to do caci! Muchas gracias!"
"Chicas? Where can I find Lulu's international house of chicas?"
"someone touched my peepee on the train. can you help me?"
"Got my rub on with my cat. Pass it on. I look at a girl's booty on the train and now I'm full of guilt and remorse so flagellated myself while at the same time passing gas. It was awful. Pass it on."
"Men of America, if you're not a buff and thick top man like myself and you can't live without your fish, forget U.S. women, they are not worth all their bullshit. Go overseas asap. Trust me. Leave the women on these shores to bitch and moan with each other. Pass it on."
"Chicas chicas"
"Don't hate punk bitches. love, Don Juan poo poo pants."
and of course, the Chachi classic:
Your sense of humor is truly charming, we imagine that's why you're at home thinking about fish and chicas so often.
We'll be blocking your IP address so that even we can't see your sweet sweet poetry (as you can understand, the redundancy is getting a little boring), but please seek help for yourself.
Thanks and good luck,
p.s. Say yes to fish!
Occasionally we get inspiring success stories about justice being served. This is one of them. The original hollaback is posted below the update.
UPDATE: I received a call form the Manhattan District Attorney's office on 4/12, notifying me that the perpetrator will be arraigned in court on May 6th, and asking if I'd be willing to verify the statement I made to the police. I should be receiving a copy of my statement in the mail. I am going to call the DA's office back, as I really feel it is important for me to be present at the arraignment, although my presence is not required. (I am starting a new semester at school that week, so if the arraignment would cause me to miss an entire class session, I might not be able to go – I am praying that's not going to be the case). I'm not sure whether I'll be able to make a brief statement to the judge, but if it is allowed, I plan to do so.

Kirstie's Story: Masturbating creep brought to justice
I was headed home to Brooklyn for the day at about 2:30 p.m. after finishing a final exam at school in Manhattan. I was listening to a podcast and briefly closed my eyes between Rector and Whitehall. When I opened my eyes, there was a man sitting directly across from me (no other passengers were seated in this section of the train) masturbating with his genitals completely outside of his pants. His eyes were nearly closed. I got up and got loud, shouting, "What the are you doing jerking off in front of me?! That's disgusting!" He got up and headed to the door at the other end of the car. I was so glad that a large, middle-aged man near where I had walked to in the car looked at me and said he had seen what happened. I told the man I didn't want to let the guy get away, and he offered to help me. We walked to where the perpetrator was standing and stood right behind him. As soon as the doors opened at Whitehall, the perp bolted, and the fellow commuter and I flew after him.
I reached the perp first and grabbed the sleeve of his sweatshirt, bringing him down on the stairs. Three men helped me detain him on the stairs until the transit cop FINALLY came 10 minutes later. During that 10 minutes, the perp pleaded with me to let him go and to think of his family, he also kept trying to get away, but he knew he was too outnumbered to really make a run for it. Once the cop came, the other men departed. After a few minutes, the perp tried to get away from the cop by jumping the turnstile. I ran after him and grabbed him from behind by the belt, bringing him down to the ground. He resisted arrest, but the cop was finally able to handcuff him and he was arrested and taken into custody for public drunkenness and lewdness and I gave a formal statement to the police at the nearest substation.
I felt so good about not just keeping my mouth shut and letting this pervert get away with it. Even if nothing much happens to him, I feel happy with my decision to take action. On a side note, it was completely ridiculous to have to wait for 10 minutes for the transit cop to arrive. I also had to clearly state to the cops that I wanted to press charges against the guy, rather than them just giving him a warning.

Japanese juggling toys.
Need to improve your hand-eye coordination? Take up juggling. And make it crafty by whipping up a set of these soft, colorful Japanese juggling toys. All you need are some fabric scraps and a handful of dried beans or rice.
The Japanese word otedama refers to a variety of juggling games, played with small handmade toys, which originated in Japan way back in the 9th century. Interestingly, otedama games were historically played only by women and girls, who often juggled together in groups while singing otedama songs.
Otedama reached the height of its popularity after World War II, when other toys were scarce in Japan. Otedama could be easily sewn together from scraps of cloth, and filled with adzuki beans. In fact, parents in wartime Japan sometimes smuggled extra food to their children at school inside the otedama.
Otedama games, and the songs that accompanied them, were passed orally from mothers to daughters for hundreds of years, but today there's little record of the otedama tradition. The term has, however, become a more general name for juggling in modern-day Japan, and is practiced by both men and women.
The earliest otedama toys were essentially tiny drawstring bags, but they evolved into a wonderful variety of shapes — pillows, balls, fish, birds, dolls, and fruits. You can find more modern-looking otedama on many Japanese toy websites today, but we're going to go with tradition, and learn to make a simple "pillow-style" otedama — a design that originated sometime in the 15th century. Then, we'll explore some ways to make variations.
Flatten this seam, and tack the remaining 2 corners together, as you just did. Pat your otedama into shape, and it's finished.
These are really fun to make!!

This is a so good and definitely fine dining quality! With Teresa's permission, I used fresh baby spinach (6 oz) in lieu of the endive. As my fresh garden thyme had wilted, I wound up substituting with dried Italian seasoning. This was more like 2 servings than 4. I used tenderloins and cut them in half. You could add a chopped garlic clove to this, but it's excellent as is (with spinach). You don't even miss the salt. We couldn't really taste the honey, but I'm sure it added to it's fantastic flavor. Since I used spinach, the cooking time for the endive part was just a minute or two. The sauce (for that reason) did not simmer down as it should, so next time I will add the spinach after the sauce has cooked down to get all the juicy flavor. This is a very light and healthy recipe that is full of flavor and very filling. Thanks for allowing me the changes, and thanks again for a keeper recipe!

Frequency Shift/acrylic on canvas Elaine Clayton copyright 2015
I've been reading books channeled by Paul Selig and listening to his channeling while I paint. Channeling is a funny idea, but I'm very open to it–we are all receptors and transmitters, so we get ideas as if out of nowhere and we know what that feels like. Paul is making some beautiful things happen. In this new series of paintings, Your Knowing, I am exploring changing consciousness and feeling it happen as I work, like millions of champagne bubbles inside of me. It is a great feeling.

I have written about this hotel before as as it continues to improve wanted to give it a more positive review. Since it opened the resident manager Richard worked very hard to produce a very professional team and improve the niggles like the damp smell in the corridors (now no more) and slow wifi (now greatly improved but still has it's bad days). The restaurant provides a good quality of food despite being a buffet in addition to the snack menu. The quality of finishing in the rooms still could be improved but I understand they are being upgraded slowly. One thing that is very good are the new very comfortable beds I always have a great sleep on them. Richard has now been transferred to Benin and his replacement Peter seems to be a hotelier cast from the same mold as Richard. Finally all the staff here are really good and always do their best to make you feel at home.

The number of people seeking unemployment benefits in the U.S. fell further in the final week of 2011, a positive sign for hiring one day ahead of Friday's December employment report.
The Labor Department says weekly applications dropped 15,000 to a seasonally adjusted 372,000 last week. It was the fourth drop in five weeks.
The four-week average, which smooths fluctuations, declined to 373,250, the lowest level since June 2008.
When applications drop below 375,000 consistently, they generally signal that hiring is strong enough to reduce the unemployment rate.
Applications have declined steadily over the past three months. The four-week average fell 11 percent in 2011, evidence that companies are laying off fewer workers. But many employers have been slow to add jobs.

Love Stinks. Join Angie and Jackson as they delve into the darker side of love.
A second week of Danish music. 'Nuff said.
Highlight is in-studio interview with the entire trombone section of The Brass Messengers celebrating their cd release at the Cedar this Friday evening starting at 7:30 pm. Fun music will not be all there is for the Carnival of celebration and community.
Music for Valentine's Day during the Vocal Group Harmony set. Lots of kissing going on.
To get in the mood for the Valentine's Day weekend, Dr. StrangeDub DJ Baby Swiss presented the LOVE DUB special. Lotsa sweet, sweet l-o-v-e in Dub. Of course, we covered not just the ecstasy of the love groove, but also the loneliness of yearning for love, and the bitter disappointment of losing love. We hit all the bases…with the sweet reggae and dub sounds of the Echo Chamber.

Yes, swelling in the feet and lower legs (edema) is a commonly observed side effect of amlodipine.
Your doctor is on the right track.
Swelling in the feet and lower legs is a common side effect of amlodipine. Ask! your doctor or health care professional if lowering to 5mg and combining with another med is righth for you. It worked for me! Also reduce salt intake and do some exercise!

A GOP Debate Without Donald Trump Likely Won't Crimp Fox's Wallet
Network says ad inventory sold out, expects to meet viewership guarantees
Donald Trump earlier this week said he would skip Thursday night's Fox News debate in Des Moines, Iowa. Since then, the Republican presidential candidate has been taunting Fox on social media, suggesting that his absence will hurt Fox's ratings and advertising revenue.

Stain glass window bracelet

Thing Info
I was inspired by a stain glass window I saw in San Francisco the other day. I wrote a script to create this bracelet. I can't figure out a great way to print it yet. I tried putting a ring underneath it, but it needs a bit more work. Good luck if you want to to try to make it work. Play with maxdepth in Structure Synth if you want to make an open bracelet or less rings.
Then I was playing with making it look like it was an underwater creature. Check out the .es file in structure synth if you want to play with it.

Forget everything I said in that last post, Dominos is in the house.
I know it might seem unbelievable, but we have bad days. Today, everything that we warned you about in our, I wish I'd known blog, has completely eaten away at me. As an expat, sometimes we revert back to, In _______ (insert your home country here)… Today that is what I did. We have moments where we wish that the customs and attitudes and everything was the same, but then we remember there was a reason why we left and why we love where we have landed.
I am writing a disclaimer… I love living here. I love the country and the people…as you can tell from our blog and previous experiences. But at the moment I am having one of those days where I want to lose my mind!! I am sharing because that is what we do with blogs. Please know that if I read someone else's blog that complained like this I would tell them to get over it, move on and stop complaining… advice taken I promise.
Dear Ireland
I feel obliged to offer an apology for a lack of social commentary on life in Korea. Being Irish, I complain all the time, even when things are going well. If you were to sit with me for a relatively short period of time, I would undoubtedly complain about plenty of things I can do nothing about. It's kind of an old-man syndrome I suppose.
The thing is, complaining about life in Korea doesn't interest me as much anymore. Well, at least complaining about it on the internet and pointing out all the failings and the misery and normality of living here doesn't interest me much. I suppose it's just not productive. It doesn't make my life any better, and while I'd love to attract the swathes of readers across the waeg readership who are itching for scandal and tales of depravity and inadequacy, I'm pretty to keep to myself these days. You see, it's not just Irish people who like to complain all the time about things they can do nothing about.
I'm angry. I'm full of piss and vinegar and I just want to vent it all over the place. But, I'm not going to. I'm going to accept what it is as what it is and allow it all to flow like a river, or something else flowy, and let everything end up as it does. Somewhere, be it happy or sad.
I've been debating with myself what to do here: should I rant on about all the shite that I come across on my day to day dealings with the world, or should I try to see things a little more positively and look at life and the world as the eclectic manifestation it actually is? Here's my dilemma. I don't want to do either of these.
