Channel: GF Revenge
GFRevenge Movie Scene: Party Up
This is by far one of the wildest lesbo movie scenes we've ever received at GF revenge. This pack of hawt, drunk college cuties all acquire jointly to celebrate their ally's birthday. They had been drinking a lot and acting naive, so they pulled out the camera to acquire it all as the night went on. They all begin flashing every other their fantastic milk sacks and perfectly round butts. It acquires absolutely out of control though when the gals begin playing a game of truth or dare. They all begin making out, engulfing every others wobblers, and rubbing every others soaked, taut eighteen-year-old love tunnels. This is one of the almost any mad non-professional lesbo episodes ever submitted by hot dilettante college angels.

As the Pittsburgh Steelers remain uncertain about the availability of center Maurkice Pouncey for Super Bowl XLV, running back Rashard Mendenhall said Thursday that the team thinks it can bring home the title no matter who lines up on Sunday.
"I think it's tough when you lose a playmaker like Pouncey and all the things he does," Mendenhall told ESPN Chicago. "He [Pouncey] can get to any level of the defense and block. He [Pouncey] springs so many big plays, but at the same time you know we played the whole AFC Championship almost without him and we were able to be successful, so we feel like we can win no matter who's in."
Mendenhall cited the Steelers' ability to play without several key stars this season as a reason for his thinking.
"We've had to play games without Ben [Roethlisberger]. We've had to play games without Troy [Polamalu]. You know I mean Pouncey that hurts, but we feel like we can win it as a team."
Playing in their third Super Bowl in six years, the Steelers do have experience on their side.
"When you're going through this process you know these older guys have been through it," Mendenhall said. "They don't really ride the wave of emotions with everything going on. There's not too many ups-and-downs. I think it helps us in our preparation, but at the same time just on game day I mean you gotta play. You still gotta run, catch, block and tackle."
While Mendenhall does have a Super Bowl ring from the Steelers win over the Arizona Cardinals two years ago, he didn't play in that game after suffering a shoulder injury during the season.
This time around, Mendenhall is looking forward to his chance to run on the Super Bowl stage.

Statsman extraordinaire Mohandas Menon tweets: "Only four wkts fell at Pune. This equals the record for the least wkts to fall in an IPL match - KKR-DD, Durban09 & MI-KTK, Mumbai11."
Pune will be disappointed lose so badly after losing just two wickets when batting. Delhi are now top of the table with a game in hand.
Mahela Jayawardene: "In the last game we made a lot of mistakes, we spoke about it. Our bowlers bowled very well today, and the batting clicked as well. We are getting a lot of things right, but there are areas we can improve. It's a long tournament, still halfway to go, we can't get complacent."
Sushant: "Not rocket science this that Uthappa's innings has cost Pune the Match. Run a ball 50 on a placid batting wicket.. Appalling."
Nithin: "It was great on pune's part to reach a respectable total ... but Delhi look virtually unbeatable at the moment... it wouldnt be a surprise to see them hold this years trophy."
Vishal: "PWI paid the price for being too circumspect after early losses. Utthappa & Pandey should have launched their assault much earlier with the likes of Smith & Wright to follow after."
Shobhit Gupta and many, many others: "Can we call a spade a spade: It is an advertisement timeout."
Nadeem: "An example of how even a 146-run partnership can hurt you.."
Pravin: "I continously see Delhi being said as the favorites for winning the trophy this time. But that cannot be judged at this point of time. Delhi were in similar situation in the first IPL and Rajastan won it. Mumbai were unstoppable last year and Chennai won it."
Karthik: "Sehwag, during the presentation ceremony of his last match had said that "I should stay till 16 overs..."
He has done that today."
Time for the presentation.
Ganguly: "We lost a couple of wickets early, we didn't get enough runs, it's a good wicket, not a big ground, so 170-180 would be a par score. We were under six an over for about 13 overs and the got some runs in the end."
Sehwag: "They recovered well, but they couldn't get past 150, which is chase-able. Good to be top of the table, all because of my bowlers, they did a fantastic job."
Sehwag goes to collect his Man of the Match and walks back towards Robin Jackman, who waves him away saying he had already asked Sehwag all he wanted to. Sehwag walks off with a sheepish grin.
That's it from this game, the second match of the day is KKR v DC. Join the comms to see whether Deccan can get their campaign off the ground today.
Harsh: "Delhi has all the credentials to win the league..a belligerent batting line-up combined with a balanced bowling attack with the likes of Morkel and Nadeem.If they perform to potential they are virtually unbeatable."
Probal: "Thanks to Sehwag, I think I'll have an hour to get my haircut and a bath before KKR's match starts."

Hello guys, it's been a while since the last time I posted here, well, I'm looking forward to hear some opinions about this idea. as probably most of you already know, I'm making a new Nanoha comic, announced to have chapter 1 released on October at Deviantart and a Spanish version at another web (Information about the plot here.. Nanoha Revolution is a special project to me, not only because I'm bringing many of my old OCs back such as ROBO-GATSURALLY and the infamous demon Lolikon (now named Abigorn >_>...ehemmm.....) but because, well, the first comic I ever made was based on the Nanoha universe (If you remember Nanoha Rise of Techno-Union, which I doubt) Well, the thing is, there's something I've been thinking on about the story to make it... more attractive, no, it's not the fact that Nanoha is gonna be paired with a male character, I'm considerating to power down the characters from the Nanoha Universe in several ways.
Why? Well, starting with the fact that I had never liked character who can destroy entire armies with the lift of a finger, I'm also seeking to make them more human, more vulnerable and to add an extra suspense to the story.
If it's so simple why to ask help? Well, considerate this, trough the 3 seasons and the mangas, it's been set clear the power that Nanoha, Fate, Hayate, and the entire list of characters have. I fear that people could find odd or even absurd to see a Nanoha not so powerful, a Nanoha that does not cast huge energy beams that take down legions of robots in an instant. But I'm seeking to make this comic more attractive and less overrated or cliched.
In which ways the characters would be powered down? To start with, no flying ability, and I know this sounds a bit extreme in the Nanoha universe, but the fact of seeing the cast flying at huge speeds over a battle field and firing from above sounds a bit absurd to me, I think that having them on the ground could add an extra touch of suspense on the story and could have the readers more attached to the battle scenes. Another would be to remove all sort of super transformations, powered ups armors (such as Fate's sonic form) and unisions, I want the good guys and the bad guys to be balanced all the time and to have the victory of a battle being decided by the characters skills and to some super mode, and finally, to remove several super devastating attack such as Starlight Breaker and also the super shields that protect the characters from all the damage, I want to power down this factors, characters will still have magic powers but not at such huge levels.
So, guys what do you think? I want this to get a 10 out of 10 from the readers so I'm open for any suggestion, complain or opinion.

For example, flight. You don't need to clip everyone's wings. Instead, make them fly slower, at a speed that is humanly possible or as fast as most birds could go. For more inexperienced flyers, you could also add conditions like disorientation, dizziness, anything that fighter pilots may experience on their first flights, as they fly. And at the same time, make it so that flying, like all human activities, requires a sustained effort. This means that no longer can your characters fly effortlessly over long distances non-stop, that they will tire as they fly, and that they will need aerial transport to fetch them from camp to the frontline like everyone else. Removing flight also removes aerial combat, which is one of the main features in the Nanoha series and more options for you to use when working on battle scenes.
Secondly, look at everything: spell, equipment, character natures, and think, "Is this really as uber as they say it is?" One good example is the SLB. Sure, we've been repeatably beaten over the head about how it's supposed to be the answer to all problems, but is that really so? First of all, it's a collection type spell, you'll need to gather enough power before firing. For MMO players, this rings a bell: long cast time, which also translates to a wide opening. Even with the Cartridge System, Nanoha still had to waste a fair amount of time before she could blast a hole through the Cradle. A lot of things can be done with this delay. Some of our friends here in OCT once remarked that they have found it ridiculous that you can have this large, pink target right in the open and nobody ever thinks about firing a disruptor into it and blow it up in Nanoha's face. Coupled with the apparent fact that anyone using a collection type spell has to stay put until everything's done, what's there to guarantee your SLBer won't be surrounded and shot down by hostile forces while she's still charging up for the launch? Friendly cover? Not only will this force you to deploy unnecessary manpower to protect your moving cannon (thus weakening other sectors which may need them more urgently), this might also force them to go on the defensive if things look bad (and your SLBer too stubborn to disengage despite being overwhelmed). Give up, fly off and try again? This only repeats the whole process, resulting in even more time wasted. If one looks at the SLB (and other flashy, lengthly spells) from this direction, you'll realise the only reason why Nanoha, and now, Teana, can SLB their way out of anything is simply because the series has not dared to throw anything at them while they prepare the spell. In a more realistic scenario, this is imho something that's only used when the protagonists have the absolute upperhand, or when they are really desperate. In other words, far from being the "handy solution to all problems".
On the transformations, just stick to what's available and don't add any more. Learn their strengths and weaknesses and think of refreshing ways on how to use them, for and against. Fate's Sonic Form is famous for being fast but fragile (and very skimpy), so why not work out a way to use both the enhanced speed and the lack of protection against her?
I will strongly advise against taking out Unison. Or, at least, make it available only to Hayate and nobody else (unless the other person has his/her own Unison Program); the fact that Rein II could unison with everyone else other than Hayate is one of the things that irritates me in StrikerS (it's like... casual sex =.=). The most obvious reason is that this will also eliminate Reinforce, who is also the very reason why Hayate is here. In effect, removing Unison will also remove the entire Yagami family, unless you're going to write an AU as well as a new background for them from scratch.
That's all I can offer now (it's past 2 am and my brains are screaming at me for not sleeping 2 hours ago ). To sum my points up, power down the characters, or rather, look at them with an unbiased eye and see if it's really you yourself that's overestimating their capabilities (if you are, kindly deflat the bloated image of the ladies in your mind and re-assess them again from a more realistic PoV). Try not to remove anything though, unless absolutely necessary. If it's not broken, don't fix it. And if it is, try glueing the parts back before throwing them into the rubbish bin.

Alright, I finally got around to writing up some character profiles for my current fic. I hope no-one minds me dumping a half-dozen OCs at once
I have precisely zero artistic skills, so I'm stuck with vague text descriptions ><
The Tornado Group
My protagonists. Officially labeled "TSAB Multi-Departmental Taskforce Nine." That doesn't really roll of the tongue, so most poeple refer to them by their callsign/code-name "Tornado." They're not a permanent group, just two units from the Navy and Army cooperating to deal with a particular threat.
Spoiler for Mariel LaMonde:
Spoiler for Alistair Farland:
Spoiler for Alexis Danze:
Spoiler for Guin Gaile:
Spoiler for Lancie Makoll:
There are still a few Tornado members whose profiles I havent written yet:
-Brianna Weyland, Mariel's tech officer and Tornado mission control
-Captain Malcolm Brodie, Guin and Lancie's CO
-Commodor David Hark, Mariel's immediate superior in the NID
-Michail, a church cavalry knight who joins the group later in the story
And then there's the antagonists, whose profiles I'm not going to put yet, up as I want to keep them a little mysterious. I've also left a few details out of the hero's bios for the same reason.
So yeah, this is going to be an OC-heavy story . Nanoha and co will only be making a few cameo appearances. This is my first MGLN fic, so I'd appreciate any feedback on these guys.

My villains will be power down as well (with the only exception of the greater mages whose information was quoted in my deviantart blog which link was added in my previous post), to start with my villans can't fly, cast shields or release super-modes either. In fact, the two main antagonists of the story's firts part ROBO_GATSURALLY and Abigorn (previously named Lolikon) don't have any magic powers at all but other abilities.
I'm totally sure that in order to make this story go where I want it to go, the flying abilities must be removed.
Hayate will not have much screen time (she will appear but no so much) since the story is focused mostly on Nanoha (even OCs appear only to support Nanoha's main roll) Fate has the second story protagonism but it is linked with Nanoha's almost all the time. So there's no problem with Hayate's unision with Rein, I'm taking out Rein's unision with Vita and Signum as well Signum's unision with Agito.
Still, wehn you have a point there with sonic form & other forms, I'm working new outfits for the Nanoha cast in order to get rid of all this stuff.

Ah the fanficker's honor/horror, recconning cannon, hmm
i guess the trick is, how realistic do you want it to become while still retaining its fantasy majority? Essentially you are deconstructing it. I'm not even sure what examples you can look at to be of any use here, but my beer soaked brain keeps telling me star ship troopers.

Rick old buddy, I totally understand, and Estavali has many similar ideas to myself, but here's my take on the subject.
Power-Overwhelming characters are the number one issue of course, my suggestion; Instead of downplaying the main characters, why not up the scale with everything else? In the first place, throwing numbers at your enemy is a bad idea to begin with, so having Legions of Robots doesn't a good army make. Instead, why not make them smarter? Using more quality and not quantity, boost the power level of all the soldiers on the field, of course not to the point where everyone is Triple A, but enough to actually make the heroes cautious.
And I mean EVERYONE gets a level-up, including the good guys' own troops, that way it'll make the main characters seem less important.
For example, I have something call the [Third Magister] Program currently under-development. Current Canon shows how ridiculously underwhelming standard TSAB mages are, The "Third Magister" Program was created to find alternate means to boost the ranks of capable TSAB mages. After the previous program was discontinued due to moral implications of cloning, a new program was set-up to find a suitable replacement that was cost effective and morally acceptable to some degree.
A few ideas like creating artifical Linker Cores to increase Mage numbers, or replicating Raising Heart for better Devices...
I can also understand your issues with flying, honestly it gave me abit of headache as well, but instead of removing it completely, why not just make it not a good idea to be airborne all the time? Say, heavy Anti-Air defense? Posion Gas/smoke Cloud? Far too easy to detect via radar? Bad Weather? Anything to force them to take the ground.

The Nanoha set and my villains will be all balanced in low levels, they will still be powerful, they will still have super-abilities but under aseptable limits of "credibility" (Think on Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat)
I'm also showing a darker side of the TSAB, a facist, oppresive force that not much people know (not even Nanoha or Fate), I don't want to reveal anything but there's a quote from the main villan (High priest Salome) wich says: "Like always, humans are the ones who asked for this war". One of the reasons for which these fanatics want to resurect the Belkan King is because they want him to put order into this corrupt and chaotic world.

Paradigm Shift in Botanical Crop Protection Agents
Authors: Bipasa Sarkar, Irani Mukherjee and Aman Kumar
Division of Agricultural Chemicals, ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi 110012, India.
E mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
The term ''crop protection agents'' represents a wide class of compounds, including fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, nematicides, rodenticides, molluscicides and plant growth regulators (Sarkar and Roy, 2013). In recent years, the use of crop protection agents around the world has impacted the environment negatively, led to pest resurgence and resistance to pesticides. They have lethal effects to non-target organisms in the agro-ecosystems in addition to direct toxicity to users. Therefore, it is imperative to search for safer alternative means of pest control, which can minimize the use of synthetic pesticides. The important alternatives are botanical pesticides which may minimize the use of chemical pesticides because they possess an array of activities (Prakash et al. 2008).
It is known that some plants protect themselves better than others due to presence of some pesticide acitivities and humans used these plants parts as pesticides, popularly known as botanical pesticides. They are mentioned in Hieroglyph, Chinese, Greek, and Roman antiquity and also in India where the use of the neem tree (Azadirachta indica Juss.; Meliaceae) was reported in the Veda, a body of manuscripts written in archaic Sanskrit dated at least 4,000 years ago (Philogène et al. 2005). It is thus difficult to assess exactly where and when plants or plant extracts were systematically used in plant protection or, more generally, in agriculture. During 18th century, some publications dealt with plant-based formulations to control insect pests (Shepard 1951). At the end of the 19th century, methods including the use of toxic plants or minerals, oils, tars, sulfocalcic sprays, boiling water, and so forth, were commonly put into practice (Whittaker and Feeny 1971). Integration of empirical and scientific observations led to the development of plant extracts (El-Wakeil 2013). Therefore, major plant parts /extracts used in crop protection are given below.
Nicotine is extracted mainly from tobacco (Nicotiana spp.) plants that have been used for centuries to kill sucking insects such as aphids, thrips and spider mites. The extract is highly toxic to every living things, including humans, animals and insects. Nicotine sulfate is considered to be a botanical pesticide, used in organic cultivation. However, due to its toxicity to some useful organisms, a family of synthetic chemicals that mimic the effects of nicotine on insect nervous systems feature in many insecticides has been developed which is known as neonicotinoid group of insecticides .
Karanja oil is extracted from seeds of Karanja Tree (Pongamia glabra) which is widely found in India. It is used in agriculture and pharmacy due to its insecticidal and acaricidal properties which acts against a number of pests and insects. Karanjin is the main active ingredient of Karanja oil that has nitrification inhibitory properties.
Rotenone is an odourless, colourless, crystalline ketonic chemical compound used as broad-spectrum insecticide and pesticide. It occurs naturally in the seeds and stems of the Jicama vine plant (Pachyrhizus erosus); and the roots of several other members of Fabaceae family.
Dried neem (Azadirachta indica) leaves are traditionally used as botanical pesticides for several decades in India. Dried neem leaves are placed in cupboards to prevent insects eating the clothes. The major ingredients are azadirachtin and nimbidin. Neem seeds are ground into a powder that is soaked overnight in water and sprayed onto the crop, providing a natural alternative to chemical pesticides. Neem does not directly kill insects on the crop rather, it acts as an anti-feedant, repellent, and egg-laying deterrent, protecting the crop from damage. The insects starve and die within a few days. Neem also suppresses the hatching of pests as well as insects. Neem cake is often sold as a fertilizer. It acts as vermifuge, insecticide, astringent, tonic and antiseptic. It possess anti-diabetic, anti-bacterial, anti-viral properties and used successfully in cases of stomach, worms and ulcers. It used as pesticides and could be applied to protect stored seeds against insects. Young fried neem leaves act as an appetizer.
Limonene or d-Limonene is also used as botanical insecticide; the d- enantiomer is most active as an insecticide. The main source is the skin of citrus fruit (Citrus spp.). It is used as a cleaning agents such as hand cleansers to give a lemon orange fragrance and because of its ability to dissolve oils. Therefore, it is used as insect repellent in many households.
Pyrethrum is an another important botanical pesticides derived from the dried flower of chrysanthumem cinerariifolium, that have potent insecticidal activity by targeting the nervous systems of insects. It is also used as lice remedy in the Middle East. They are biodegradable compounds. Pyrethrins are considered to be low toxic pesticides from a human health standpoint. It is one of the most commonly used non-synthetic insecticides allowed in certified organic agriculture.

The big 3-0 was reason for celebration for Women's Network P.E.I. (WNPEI) in 2014.
Founded in 1981 and incorporated in 1984, this non-profit social justice organization has survived, thrived and rolled with the times over the last three decades, despite major hurdles, such as cuts to core funding in the 1990s.
"There are still a lot of common themes, and one of those is giving voice to women's experience. It's a big part of the work that we do, and maybe those voices are different now — certainly they are — and that's really exciting," says WNPEI executive director Sara Roach-Lewis.
The focus in the beginning was Common Ground women's magazine and an annual women's festival, as well as conducting research and advocating for policy changes in a variety of areas important to women and their families.
"I think back in those early days they were talking about things that we talk about now, whether it's breastfeeding, menopause, abortion, reproductive justice — sort of that cradle to grave women's experience," says Roach-Lewis.
In the early years, WNPEI was also doing a lot of exploration with regard to women in nontraditional roles — mainly primary producers in the fishing and farming industries.
After losing federal core funding in the early 1990s the organization had to switch to more project-based work.
One of the more recent program additions has been Trade HERizons, which is designed to increase the number of women in non-traditional trades and technology occupations on P.E.I.
"When we started Trade HERizons five years ago the number of women who were registered as apprentices . . . in nontraditional trades fluctuated between .5 and .75 per cent (over a 25-year period). Last year with Trade HERizons that number has increased significantly, but we're still at only 4.8 per cent. So I think the reason these things are happening is because we're not there yet," Roach-Lewis says.
"It is a targeted intervention on a number of different levels before we see equality in an area like trades . . . , (or) with women in government, for example."
WNPEI's Paths to Prosperity is a program designed to implement a community response to poverty. It is also involved with various youth work, including cyber bullying, and Boys Council Groups and Girl's Circles, which assist in teaching youth how to make value based, healthy decisions.
"(The Girls' Circles have) been amazing because we worked with almost 400 girls over a three-year period. That's a lot of seeds that we're sowing within our community," Roach-Lewis says.
Most recently, WNPEI held A Bold Vision conference, where 23 aspiring and established woman leaders from throughout Canada contributed to an anthology and collaborated on a shared vision for Canada's future.
The organization also has a referral service designed to help Island women find programs and services they may need, such as domestic violence, separation or divorce, abortion, or addiction services.
"They just see us as a friendly voice on the other end of the phone that can help point them in the right direction," says Michelle MacCallum, director of youth and parent programming.
In addition to ongoing issues, new ones are arising in this ever-changing world. That's why WNPEI strives to keep on top of what issues are impacting the community right now.
"Certainly from a youth and parent perspective it's hard to imagine that we really are like the Wild West when it comes to the Internet, when it comes to cyber violence and cyber safety, and so I see that as an area that we will continue to work on for awhile," Roach-Lewis says.
MacCallum says it is dangerous to assume initiatives and programs to address the gaps, barriers and inequalities are no longer needed.
"There's a bit of a war on feminism right now because of (the mentality) 'But you've come so far. How dare you compare yourself to places in the world where women have nowhere near the equality that you enjoy in North America,'" she says.
"And yet if you spent a week walking in our shoes with the women that we walk within our community, you would see that a lot of those inequalities are the same here in our culture. They might not be as visible. They might not make the media or the six o'clock news but they're still there. So there are women who are feeling victimized and exploited and oppressed in our community and if you look you will see them."

Ratings for Dr. Jeffrey D. Millman
Very personable and listens to what is said. However, is never on time.
Yes, he can run late, but it's because he's willing to take necessary time with other patients. That means he'll also be willing to spend extra time with YOU if necessary. He has a great manner, is willing to listen to patient concerns or thoughts on treatments, and is very friendly and approachable. He stresses that he views his role as a partner in his patient's health, not as a boss, and that has borne out well in my visits. Get this: he welcomes any research I do on my own, even if I come in with printouts from the internet! It's rare to find a doctor who is that open to patient input (though I'm sure he wouldn't support anything that may be dangerous, harmful, or completely unsound). I would be comfortable stating that, to date, Dr. Millman is the best doctor I have been under the care of.
First of all, listen -- Best. Doctor. EVER. Next, I'll be honest: you often have to wait a bit to see the doc. But I'm telling you: THE WAIT IS WORTH IT. He always takes the time that patients need. He keeps up not only on traditional medicine, but is also well-versed in alternative medicine, diet, supplements, and so forth.He treats you like you and he are a team working together on your overall health. Another great thing: if you find an article on the Internet or in a magazine or journal about your health issue, and take it to him to discuss, he never EVER treats you as though you're stupid. No: he treats your concerns very seriously and listens! His main concern is to get you well and keep you well. If that can be accomplished by a prescription, great. If it can be accomplished by a B-12 supplement, he'll go that way too. He cares about your physical, mental, and spiritual health. He is a wonderful, caring physician and I consider myself lucky to be able to see him.

Facebook on Privacy Changes: 'We Think About These Issues Every Day'
After Canada's privacy commissioner said Facebook will make changes to its privacy policy and third-party data operations, the social-networking site hosted its own news conference to discuss the matter.
On its company blog, Facebook said the changes are in addition to previously announced tests of simpler privacy settings. Ethan Beard, its director of platform product marketing, said on Facebook's developers blog that they will likely require developers to modify their apps and specify data needs when apps are added.
Highlights from the call:
11:42 a.m. EST: Debbie Frost, a spokeswoman, apologizes for the delay — "California traffic can be a nightmare."
11:44: Richard Allen, head of European policy for Facebook, says, "privacy is a core part of our business." He adds that the company's collaboration with Canada will continue as needed with other governments.
11:47: Michael Richter (how many people are on this call?) says the site will add new notifications explaining policies and practices, and add technical changes that will give users more control over their information. Facebook will also add a "privacy tour" that users will have access to when signing up.

Ford to make Fusion in U.S. for first time
Published: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 2:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 2:46 p.m.
Flat Rock, Mich.
For the first time, Ford is making its Fusion sedan in the U.S.
The company's Flat Rock, Mich., plant has begun making the Fusion. The plant, which is about 25 miles south of Detroit, made the Ford Mustang sports car before getting a second shift of 1,400 workers to make the Fusion. The 66-acre plant now has 3,100 workers.
Ford Motor Co. had been making around 250,000 Fusions each year at its plant in Hermosillo, Mexico. But that wasn't keeping up with demand for the hot-selling midsize sedan, which was revamped last year. Sales this year are up 13 percent to 181,668 through July.
"We could have sold more if we had more," Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas, told a cheering crowd of workers.
With the production at Flat Rock, Ford will be able to make 350,000 Fusions each year. Hinrichs said the cars being made Thursday would likely be sold within two weeks, a much faster rate than the 60-day average for the industry.
The Flat Rock plant was built by Mazda Motor Co. in 1987 and became a joint venture with Ford in 1992. When Ford and Mazda severed ties in 2010, the fate of the Flat Rock plant was uncertain.
During contract talks with the UAW in 2011, Ford agreed to bring Fusion production to Flat Rock. While Ford will have to pay U.S. workers more compared with Mexico, where workers make $2 to $3 an hour, the wage difference isn't as high as it once was.
In 2007, the UAW agreed that new hires could be paid at half the rate as veteran workers. All but around 150 of the 1,400 workers making the Fusion are new and make $15.78 per hour, the company said. That compares with an hourly wage of $28.50 for veteran workers at the same plant.
Hinrichs wouldn't comment on the profit Ford will make on the U.S.-built Fusions.
Hinrichs said Ford has now hired 75 percent of the 12,000 hourly workers it promised to hire by 2015. Settles hinted that the company might even hire more to keep up with growing demand for new vehicles, but Hinrichs wouldn't confirm that.
"We're spending a lot of time on manufacturing planning," Hinrichs said. "Let's just keep growing our business and we'll take it from there."

New Delhi: Criticising the Indian bowlers for conceding no balls at crucial juncture of the semi-final match against West Indies, former captain Sunil Gavaskar yesterday said it is "unacceptable for a spinner to bowl a no-ball".

"The spinners are really not expected to bowl a no ball. Fast bowlers, in their effort to bowl a yorker or a bouncer, can sometimes overstep. Thus, for a spinner to bowl a no-ball is unacceptable. This is something you got to practice in the nets," Gavaskar told NDTV.
Title aspirants India were on Thursday night knocked out of the World Twenty20 with a heartbreaking seven-wicket defeat at the hands of West Indies, who capitalised on the home team's sloppy bowling display in a high-scoring semi-final showdown in Mumbai.
'WI not a one-man army'
He insisted that West Indies have proved that cricket is a team game.
"West Indies is not a one-man team. We were talking about Chris Gayle versus Virat Kohli. He (Gayle) didn't score runs. But look how others put their hands up and contributed.
"It has always been a team game. We tend to highlight one or two players and that is understandable. But it is never a one man game and West Indies have proven that," said the legendary batsman.

Terminate Drawing Contest of Harley Quinn, Naked and Committing Suicide
Your objectification of women and demeaning their suicides to the level of horrific entertainment is absolutely appalling and disgusting. This is a trope that you have a responsibility of ENDING, NOT PERPETUATING. There is nothing cool or trendy about suicide or mental disorders, nor should an artist be REWARDED for condoning those messages. This is particularly alarming during the week of Suicide Awareness.
This isn't about saying one can't hold a contest. Just consider what kind of message you're sending in creating a contest around suicide. No, we do not know the context given, but its relevance is trivial when the guidelines highlight and even sexualize suicide. And artists shouldn't have to stoop to such a demeaning level to please a comic industry with some sick game.

Okay, Brian ... give us something ... anything ... it will be appreciated!
Here' something... In Alaska a 180 pound Bear crashed through a skylight and ate the cupcakes they had out of their child's birthday party. It actually happened... I just read it in the paper. I'm wondering how they knew the Bear was 180 pounds? Did the bear weigh itself on the bathroom scale after eating the cupcakes? If so... It was probably a female bear.
Things to think about:
1. Uncle -- I didn't see the game last night and I won't get to watch today either. I wish I could comment about what I'm not seeing but I can't comment on what I'm not seeing because I didn't see it. I just know... the team has to start stringing some W's together and they kinda gotta start NOW!!!
2. Yu Darvish -- It's disappointing to be shut out for 7 plus by Nick Tepesch when the Twins need to start winning some games... And now the Twins are looking at you... I mean... Yu. These are team moments in the course of a season. Yu play them one at a time and Yu take them as they come. But... With You on deck... Yu kinda need to take it to someone named Tepesch when tomorrow is all about You. Things haven't been fantastic for you. You has been touched for 4 runs in 3 out of the past 4 starts. Is You vulnerable? I hope so... Because as a team Yu have put yourself in position that you will have to be vulnerable because Yu need the win... Both Yu and You are in a tough spot. In the end... it comes down to U.
3. Pedro Florimon -- When Pedro was merely hitting .219 and .221... I was never that worried about it. I knew .219 and .221 meant that were times when Pedro Florimon would help the team win a game. However... when you start talking about .093 batting average over 75 at bats... Then you are talking about rare air. I realize that the infield sky came crashing down on your head but .093 makes Butera look like Mel Ott. I'm not sure why I typed Mel Ott... His name just jumped out of my fingers but you all get the point. I will defend Pedro and his defense at .219. Nobody can defend .093. I totally get it that Polanco is here as much needed insurance. He's on the 40 man so nobody has to be kicked out to call up a non 40 man guy. I understand that he's going back as soon as Plouffe is ready... I get it and I support it... But my goodness... 75 at bats and a .093 batting average. Let's be clear... we are talking about history for a non-pitcher. I think it's Ok to play your 3 day insurance policy instead.
4. Phil Hughes -- Is starting today... About the worst thing that could happen is for Phil to spit the bit today. It's Yu vs. Hughes!!! Hughes is Yu plural!!!
5. Class Reunion -- I had a good time catching up with old classmates last night and look forward to doing so again tonight. My wife couldn't make it but she asked... How was it? I thought I'd come up with something funny to say... I said... "It was 50 shades of Grey"... Then she started wondering exactly what the hell went on.

EZwipers Review and Giveaway - Ends 8-6-13
A product sample was received for review. I was not paid in any form of cash for this posting. The opinions expressed are my own and were NOT influenced in any way.
Everybody knows you get plenty of rain in the Northwest. I live about 30 miles north of Seattle and we certainly do get alot of rain, so it's important to have really good wipers on your car. About four months ago we went to Jiffy Lube and had the front wipers replaced. Well, they didn't get the right blade for the driver's side, so we had to go back and get the correct size. Then the blade on the passenger wasn't working very good, so we had to go back again and have that one replaced. What a hassle!
For this review I received a pair of EZwipers for my SUV. The packages were clearly marked for the driver and passenger sides. So, there really is no way you could put the wipers on the wrong side. The wipers were very easy to install! After my husband installed the wipers, we went through the car wash and used the wipers. They worked perfect and I would highly recommend EZwipers!
The EZwipers website is very user friendly. The first question you will see is, What kind of car do you have? Then it will take you to the page of the correct size of wipers, where you can choose the type of wipers you would like.
About EZwipersEZwipers is a locally-owned business based in the Candler Park neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia. EZwipers mission is to make it easy to find high-quality wiper blades that will fit your car or truck perfectly! They want to make shopping for wipers painless and they welcome your feedback about how they're doing.
If you have the right wipers, they can be replaced in less than a minute on most cars and trucks. The hard part is almost always starting with the right blades. They guarantee you'll get the correct wipers for your vehicle and they'll come with the correct attachment.

Hot and Sour Tofu Soup
READY IN: 30mins

Vegetarian version of the Chinese favorite. Many thin tofu is bland, but it actually takes on the flavor of whatever it is cooked in. In this case it happens to be soy, vinegar and pepper flakes.

I thought this was alright, perfectly fine for a healthy lunch maybe with some toast. I imagine the flavors will be fuller once frozen and reheated which I look forward to.

Which came first, epicure or eco-warrior? For 23 years, Arthur Potts Dawson has worked alongside Britain's most respected chefs, including Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Jamie Oliver. But his interest in food began during childhood, on a Dorset farm. "There was never much money around when I was growing up," he says. "We learned to turn lights off, put a jumper on instead of the heating."
This thrifty sensibility found expression in his acclaimed London restaurants Acorn House and Water House, opened in 2006. From rooftop gardens to low-energy refrigerators and wormeries that turn food waste into compost, these restaurants prove the profitability of an eco-friendly approach -- and serve as training grounds for the next generation of green chefs. Potts Dawson is now taking his crusade to kitchen tables, launching The People's Supermarket, a member-run cooperative supporting British farms, and cooking for Mrs Paisley's Lashings, a supper club whose profits fund urban gardens in London schools.

Liam is a Chihuahua mix. He may be small in size but he has a HUGE personality! He gets along with dogs big and small, loves all people and kids and is curious about cats so he will need to be cat tested if you have cats!
Liam was dumped in a poor neighborhood in San Antonio Texas and was chasing cars down the road with several other small dogs. After talking to a neighbor who told me no one owned them and that they had been there for several weeks, I scooped them all up and brought them back to my rescue center!
Liam had some skin issues and it turns out they were just sores from sleeping on hard surfaces. He healed up quickly and went on to blossom into the super cute dog he is now!
Liam will be neutered prior to adoption and is fully vaccinated. He is hw negative and has a clean bill of health!
If you are interested in meeting Liam and seeing if he is the one for you, please fill out an application at: www.katetotherescue.org
I specialize in trapping animals that have been living on the streets for a significant amount of time and are hard to catch.
I then rehab them in my 3,000 sq ft animal rescue center where I help them to become the domesticated dogs and cats that they were meant to be.
Once they have become socialized and are fit for home life they are put up for adoption!

I was passing and saw the sign for Indian Cuisine and thought I'd give it a try. Upon entering the plaza I noticed it was vegetarian. Great, I could do with some veggies.
First, and foremost, I cannot work out for the life of me why their service and attention is so bad. It was, and others have noticed too.
This a large place and there was a total of two other couples eating there, so being busy isn't an excuse. Yet the staff seemed harried, rushed, not particularly pleasant, and inattentive.
The menu is quite extensive. They claim it as authentic South Indian, I'm not so sure, at least not in the cooking. For a vegetarian restaurant, and in this area, I was a little surprised that they didn't specifically call out the vegan dishes, but they didn't.
I had an Aloo Gobi which, frankly, was unappealing and disappointing. What ruined it for me was that the dish was padded out with Zucchini which was quite gross. It wasn't even mentioned on the menu so I'm baffled why it was there at all.
Sadly, I can't see myself bothering to come back and try the buffet. From the sign in the window saying that Groupons are for evening only, I wonder if much of their custom is one-time only. I certainly will fall into that category.

text: The India Fund, Inc. (NYSE: IFN; the "Fund") announced today a distribution of $0.32 per share payable in cash on January 13, 2012 to shareholders of record on December 30, 2011, which distribution represents long-term capital gains. The distribution will be paid pursuant to the Fund's dividend reinvestment and cash purchase plan. The ex date of the distribution is December 28, 2011. The distribution represents the undistributed amount of the Fund's net investment income and net capital gains for the 2011 fiscal year. Although this distribution is payable in 2012, it will be treated as having been paid by the Fund and received by stockholders as of December 31, 2011. The Fund is a closed-end management investment company that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in Indian equity securities. The Fund conducts semi-annual repurchase offers and is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol "IFN." At a special meeting of stockholders held on December 12, 2011, stockholders of the Fund voted to approve a new investment management agreement between the Fund and Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Limited ("Aberdeen Asia"). The new investment management agreement will become effective on December 19, 2011 following the transition of investment management services from Blackstone Asia Advisors L.L.C., the Fund's former investment manager, to Aberdeen Asia, an affiliate of Aberdeen Asset Management PLC (together with its subsidiaries, "Aberdeen"). Aberdeen is an independent asset manager founded in 1983, with $265 billion in assets under management ("AUM") as of September 30, 2011. Singapore is the regional head office of Aberdeen's Asian operations, which were established in 1992. Asian equity securities in both regional and single country mandates are core investment competencies of Aberdeen. Aberdeen manages over $70 billion in Asia Pacific (excluding Japan) equity securities. Closed-end management investment companies have formed part of Aberdeen's business since its inception and remain an important element of its client base in the United States and globally. Aberdeen currently manages 30 closed-end management investment companies with approximately $13 billion in AUM as of September 30, 2011.

Although Tata Ethical Fund is positioned as a Shariah compliant fund, we believe that this theme should not be targeted at just one category of investors.
Five years ago when two fund houses launched a shariah oriented ETF and a mutual fund, it was a novel theme in the domestic fund industry. For Indian investors Shariah was a new concept and the funds in this category were launched with the intention of catering to the investment requirements of a particular community. A deeper evaluation of their investment strategy over the years suggests that these funds are also an ideal fit in the multicap category with a focus on specific themes and sectors.
The term "Shariah"refers to the moral code and religious law of Islam. Shariah compliant funds mean that they will have stocks of companies which are screened on the basis of the businesses that they undertake and also their financial ratios. Activities prohibited under the Shariah law include alcohol, tobacco, gambling, interest lending businesses which include traditional banks and hotels etc. On the other hand, financial ratios refer to leverage, cash compliance and share of revenue, which is derived from non-compliant activities.
While, we have been writing on Shariah compliant funds since April 2012 we have decided to focus on a particular fund from this category which looks promising from a long term perspective.
Here, we are referring to Tata Ethical Fund which was initially launched as Tata Core Sector Fund on April 9, 1996. Initially, the fund was a close ended scheme which was converted into an open-ended fund from August 4, 1999 onwards. The fund changed its name to Tata Select Equity Fund since August 2, 2002 and restrictions were also placed on investing into certain sectors. Finally, the fund was repositioned as a Shariah oriented fund and renamed as Tata Ethical Fund on September 5, 2011.
Investment Strategy
As per the new mandate, the fund's investment objective is to provide medium to long-term capital gains by investing in Shariah compliant equity and equity-related instruments of well-researched value and growth-oriented companies. This fund basically follows a bottom-up approach and the stocks are selected from a Shariah compliant universe.
To understand the nitty-gritty of the fund better, we had a discussion with Pradeep Gokhale who has been managing this fund since January 2, 2012. Our discussion focused on the investment strategy of the fund along with the future outlook that the fund management team sees for this fund. Before getting into the details, Gokhale made it very clear that initially the stocks are screened by a Shariah advisory firm that is Dar-al-Shariah, which is a subsidiary of Dubai Islamic Bank. The screening of stocks also involves informing the fund management team if any Shariah compliant stock has changed its status and in such cases the advisory firm will give a stipulated time to exit the particular stock.
We did a detailed analysis of the portfolio since it was repositioned as a Shariah fund. We observed that as of March 2014, the fund held around 40 stocks in the portfolio out of which 12 have been there since October 2011. Among these stocks, the average allocation in two stocks namely Infosys and Reliance Industries have been the highest that is to the tune of 6.94% and 6.62% respectively. However, an interesting observation that can be made here is that Infosys whose share in the portfolio has been in the range of 5% to 10% (October 2011- February 2014) saw a sudden dip in the allocation in March 2014 to almost 3.48%. Another stock which the fund management team seems to be very positive on is TCS which can be gauged from the increasing allocation into the same from 2.12% in April 2012 to 7.84% in March 2014. Along with these stocks, some of the other favourite picks in the portfolio have been Amara Raja Batteries, Shree Cement, Lupin, Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation and Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) which have been a part of the portfolio during our 30 months of analysis.
Although the fund follows a bottom up approach, we thought it appropriate to analyse the sectoral trends as well. At this juncture, it is interesting to note that Software and Pharmaceuticals have been among the top 5 picks during our study period. In addition to this, the fund management team has also been betting big on Consumer Non-Durables and the average allocation to this sector has been 10.39%. In this sector, the fund which had been positive on Hindustan Unilever with an allocation of 6.03% in October 2011 exited this stock entirely in July 2013. Currently from this space, the fund manager is positive on stocks like Colgate-Palmolive (India) and Dabur India.
Our Take
Although Tata Ethical Fund is positioned as a Shariah compliant fund, we believe that this theme should not be targeted at just one category of investors. The reasoning behind this is that the fund aims at taking exposure into those companies which are not in the banking space, have low debt on their books and are cash rich. Hence, we believe that this fund with no market cap/sector bias and a nil exposure into financial stocks will stand out among the other plain vanilla diversified funds which normally have more than 20% allocation into banking stocks. There is a myth in the industry that funds with a major exposure into the banking sector will be able to perform consistently over a long time period; however, we are of the view that Tata Ethical Fund is the answer to disprove this myth. We recommend this fund to our conservative and balanced investors who wish to be a part of a strategy whose investment mantra will be to focus on socially responsible companies with low leverage but at the same time will be able to deliver consistent performance over a long period of time.
