Tin Salamunic: How long did it take you to complete the original Dishonored? Five hours? Eight hours? Twenty hours? I personally spent an embarrassing amount of time sneaking through the campaign without killing a single soul. You see, Dishonored rewarded the stealthy approach with a rich and complex experience while pretty much giving the middle finger to those solely relying on guns and grenades. Dishonored redefined everyone's expectations of the genre and gave players the necessary tools to shape their own path to victory without the kind of handholding that's plagued this generation for years. Knife of Dunwall continues this trend by introducing new environments, new gameplay mechanics, and a new protagonist with a rich and rewarding narrative at a mere ten bucks.
Fnnnn Great DLC people I suggest picking it up, Loved being Daud!!

Everyone, at some point in their life, has experienced a hiccup.
And on that same note, I am sure that everyone at some point in their life, has also experienced some sort of "cure" for their hiccup ailment.
Whether it was a good old wives' tale or something scientifically researched, I'm sure we all have tried an array of solutions to relieve our hiccups.
Perhaps you already have a great method that works perfectly for you every time or maybe your someone still searching for the next good remedy.
What some of us may not realize, however, is the simple facts about hiccups such as:

Trainers, as many of you know, we recently made some changes to Pokémon GO.
We have removed the '3-step' display in order to improve upon the underlying design. The original feature, although enjoyed by many, was also confusing and did not meet our underlying product goals. We will keep you posted as we strive to improve this feature.
We have limited access by third-party services which were interfering with our ability to maintain quality of service for our users and to bring Pokémon GO to users around the world. The large number of users has made the roll-out of Pokémon GO around the world an... interesting... challenge. And we aren't done yet! Yes, Brazil, we want to bring the game to you (and many other countries where it is not yet available).
We have read your posts and emails and we hear the frustration from folks in places where we haven't launched yet, and from those of you who miss these features. We want you to know that we have been working crazy hours to keep the game running as we continue to launch globally. If you haven't heard us Tweeting much it's because we've been heads down working on the game. But we'll do our best going forward to keep you posted on what's going on.
Be safe, be nice to your fellow trainers, and keep on exploring.
The Pokémon GO team
I would say that if they really cared about giving the players a game that works properly they would stop rolling out the game in more territories and instead focus on fixing the game. They are clearly more interested in capitalising on the fad than making the game better.

Hillsdale, MI (PRWEB) July 05, 2011
On Wednesday July 13, 2011 The Acme Group is holding an event at the Hillsdale City Hall at 1 PM to announce the opening of their newest company, Fairway Innovations. Fairway Innovations is a creative center for inventors and inventions. Their single focus is taking inventors and their ideas and helping them produce a product.
Fairway Innovations can prototype, manufacture and market ideas or products, assist in finding appropriate sales channels as well as help the inventor obtain financing for their domestically manufactured project. All off this will take place within Michigan, centered in Hillsdale County.
"How can we keep Michigan manufacturing new and exciting products and how do we 'pay it forward'?" That was the question President Steven Firavich asked this winter. "We are constantly approached by individuals who have a great idea and would like to manufacture a new product but don't have the where-with-all to get it started. Acme has the ability and desire to make it happen. Our goal is to make doing business here in Michigan as easy and profitable as possible."
Fairway Innovations isn't just about helping inventors. They are also helping other local manufactures who will share the workload and profitability. Fairway Innovations is presenting manufacturers with new leads and projects. Working together with the Hillsdale County Economic Development Council, Fairway Innovation has been targeting manufacturers to become approved feature venders and is already working with inventors, including one from China.
Fairway Innovations driving goal is to spur manufacturing in Michigan. They also want to maintain the development of new inventions right here in the United States; train the next generation in high-paying manufacturing jobs; and support our featured vendors with new profitable business opportunities.
Fairway Innovations will also give back to the community through local, state, national and even international philanthropic organizations.

CONWAY, N.H. – Abigail Hernandez, the 15-year-old girl who went missing last October, has been reunited with her mother.
She returned home on Sunday night, the New Hampshire Attorney General's office confirmed on Monday.
The teenager was last seen Oct. 9, 2013 in North Conway. N.H., leaving Kennett High School at about 2:30 p.m. that day.
Abby Hernandez wrote a letter to her mother, Zenya Hernandez, postmarked on October 23 that her mother received on November 6. At a press conference in December, law enforcement officials announced that Zenya had received the letter, but did not reveal its contents or say where it had been postmarked from.
"Today we are the happiest people on earth," her mother reportedly told officials when she and her daughter were reunited.
The circumstances surrounding Hernandez's disappearance are still being investigated. No further details were given on Monday afternoon.
After Abigail disappeared, police initially said she made it home, but later said she hadn't. Police also at first said she made a call about 6:30 p.m. that day but later said that, too, was wrong.
After she vanished, police consistently said they have no evidence to suggest anything suspicious and were treating her disappearance as a missing-person's case.
The disappearance rattled the town of 2,300 residents in Mount Washington Valley, who were reminded of the still-unsolved killing of another young girl from rural New Hampshire three years ago: 11-year-old Celina Cass disappeared from her West Stewartstown home in July 2011, and her body was recovered a week later in the Connecticut River.
In Conway, rescuers fanned out for days over the heavily forested terrain that surrounds the townhouse where Hernandez lives with her mother. Police also searched by air, stopped traffic and handed out missing posters and used boats on the Saco River and Pudding Pond.

An exhaustive study by Pew Research Center found that 61 percent of women in America had received benefits from either Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, welfare or unemployment benefits. However, the percentage of women receiving government aid varies depending on how government aid is defined.Continue Reading
Expanding on the same research from the Pew Research Center, The Atlantic discovered the actual number of people receiving aid is likely higher if other government benefits are included in the percentage and if the population is measured by households. When measured by household, and veterans benefits and college assistance are included, 86 percent of households receive some type of government aid. This would mean more than 61 percent of women either directly receive government aid or live in a household with someone receiving some form of government assistance.Learn more about Social Services

WESTCHESTER, Calif. (KTLA) — The multimillion-dollar expansion and facelift of Los Angeles International Airport is running into resistance from some residents.
People who live in the shadow of the airport are speaking out against plans to relocate a runway even closer to their homes.
They aired their concerns at a public meeting on Tuesday night.
"The people who are here today would be willing to go so far as to handcuff themselves to a bulldozer if necessary," declared Westchester resident Dana Cope.
LAX expansion planners want to move the north runway 260 feet farther north. Many residents fear it would ruin their community, just like they say the last expansion did.
"We already had a wipe-out. In '85, they took 10,000 homes out and the businesses have just now come back," one woman said.
Rep. Maxine Waters stopped by to share her feelings. She says expert studies conducted only two years ago show that the airport is already safe.
"A joint panel between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and academic experts studied the airport's configuration," Waters said.
She continued: "They concluded, 'The north airfield of LAX is extremely safe under the current configuration."
While planners feel that their new plan would make LAX even safer, they do admit that there would be more noise.
However, they say that fewer people would be impacted because fewer people live under the proposed inbound flight path.
Still, many residents worry about losing their homes if the runway is moved north, because of Federal Aviation Administration requirements between homes and runways.
"It's still within the boundary of the airport, so there isn't anything in a runway move that would require us to go take any homes," Diego Alvarez, of Los Angeles World Airports insisted.
They have already bought up some homes form the Manchester Square area from willing sellers. That's where a new parking and car rental facility is planned.

You've probably noticed the person in your care becoming less able to make the simplest choices: What kind of cereal to eat? Which sweater to wear? What to do today? Before long, taking any kind of initiative will be impossible, as higher-order thinking becomes more damaged. While some inklings of preferences remain, indulge them to the best of your ability.
Here's how:
Don't rush to make all choices for the person. The actual choosing matters less than the pleasant feeling that can arise -- and carry over into other behaviors -- from being involved in social give-and-take.
Narrow the options. Present two choices: wheat flakes or oatmeal? Take a walk or feed the ducks?
Consider listing your personal first choice last: It's typical that the last word heard will be the one played back to you (oatmeal, ducks).
Skip intimidating open-ended questions. Not, "What do you want to do today?" Instead, "Should we take a drive today or feed the ducks?"

From Portsmouth, Virginia, USA:
My three and a half-year-old daughter was diagnosed with diabetes eight months ago. She has been potty trained through the day for well over a year now. We have not been able to get her to stay dry through the night. Most nights, she runs in range, 100 mg/dl [5.6 mmol/L] to 200 mg/dl [11.1 mmol/L], but some nights, she's very high, mid-200s mg/dl [13.5 mmol/L] to 300s mg/dl [over 16.7 mmol/L]. She has always required a lot to drink, even prior to her diagnosis. I am having trouble discerning if this is directly related to diabetes or if I'm giving too much drink during the evening. If I need to cut out drink before bedtime, how can I know that her thirst is not related to diabetes, in which case, I should give her something to drink?
Your question is very practical.
The kidneys tend to "spill" glucose into the urine once the blood glucose is about 180 mg/dl [10.0 mmol/L] or higher. This extra glucose in the urine must be excreted with water (after all, she can't urinate a "sugar cube"). So, as you know, the higher the glucose, the more urination. And, with increased urination WITH RISK OF DEHYDRATION, comes increased thirst.
So, if "most of the time" the nighttime glucoses are over 180 mg/dl [10.0 mmol/L], then I'd be pressed to say that at least SOME of the nighttime wetting is due to diabetes.
Is there any harm to bed wetting? Apart from social concerns and lots of laundry and the occasional diaper rash, probably not too much. Many three-year-olds (and older) aren't completely dry at night. But, many are.
I'd suggest you work with your diabetes team to aim to get the nighttime glucoses in lower ranges. I wouldn't, with diabetes mellitus, restrict access to fluids.

At Legion Paper, we want to continue those sentences, follow through on Amy's dream by providing beautiful blank pages that have yet been written, sketched or painted.
To honor her legacy, we've created 50 Limited Edition Artist Pad Gift Boxes - a $200 value - which we are making available for $60. The Gift Boxes contain one each of eleven different 9x12 artist pads, including Stonehenge, Lenox, Yupo and Stonehenge Aqua papers which offers every artist a glorious range of untouched and unrivalled surfaces. 100% of the proceeds of every Gift Box will go to Project Semicolon.

It's old news that Blackboard has been acquired by a private equity firm for $1.64 billion.
An education company being acquired is hardly novel – we are entering a period of dramatic change in education and the change will largely be led from outside of the education system.
$1.64 billion – that is novel.
Why is Blackboard worth that much? If you speak with academics and students, the product and company is almost universally disliked. This largely stems from their D2L lawsuit a few years ago and the concerns that generated around patents in the educational technology market.
Providence Equity must have been aware of this end user negativity before they purchased Blackboard. Which means they are seeing the investment from a perspective that I don't recognize. And it has been bothering me.
Providence has three areas where it can generate value for its Bb purchase:
1. Integration of tools as a competitive advantage: The LMS market requires integrated tools – as I detailed here – in order to add value in what is a Moodle-dominated LMS market (globally).
2. Integration of existing companies within the Providence investment portfolio to leverage advantage from Bb. Have a look at their education-dominated investments. None of these companies seem to target end users. They are generally listed as:
- Technology-based learning solutions focused on student training and testing results in healthcare and other vocational fields.
- subscription-based online education products.
- or vaguely, the largest independent education company in Sweden
- leading provider of technology solutions and services to the K-12 education market.
- leading provider of private post-secondary education in North America.
- leading provider of technology-oriented post-secondary education in the U.S.
- leading provider of university access and preparation programs and English language courses to international students, as well as a provider of vocational courses mainly to Australian students.
(at this point, you talk to your PR people and say "hey, look, you've used your quota of the words "leading provider" on our website – can you hit a thesaurus please?")
- global leader in integrated software and processing solutions and is a leading provider of information availability services.
3. Content-centric value that fosters an educational ecosystem with Bb at the centre – such as recently announced partnerships with educational publishers. Before long, Bb will deliver courses and assessment in their entirety to the cash-strapped education sector. Plug and play faculty. Offering degrees, as Pearson is doing in UK, is a logical step – even if only done in partnership with existing universities.
Blackboard's strategy, as detailed above, focuses on product integration, full-spectrum education (content provision to testing), targeting the needs and concerns of senior-level decision makers (management focus), and fostering ecosystems where other companies enhance Bb's centrality by providing content and related services in the Bb platform.
Bb is not focused on learning and teaching in their strategy, though I'm sure their language to faculty will include teaching language. Where words can misrepresent focus, investment history presents a clear reality: the focus is on shaping the education field and targeting leaders and decision makers within the field.
And, if you're an entrepreneur trying to make a profit by offering a service to a troubled sector, Providence Equity has taken the right approach. In the US and UK in particular, higher education is at the early stages of a massive shift from public ownership to private ownership and entrepreneurial solutions. As the funds flow to innovators – or in Bb's case, value hubs – tremendous wealth will be created for the risk-takers. In language and ideology that I've heard in numerous discussions over the past five years "education is the last industry to globalize". Providence is one of the early companies out of the gate. Pearson, U of Phoenix, Capella, Laurette, and others are marching in a similar direction.


text: Jane V. Noble, a Barrington homemaker who volunteered with many community organizations, brought Art Institute of Chicago programs to Barrington as founder of the museum's Barrington Community Associates. "She felt it was important to contribute to the community as well as to raise a family," said her daughter, Albertine Burget. Mrs. Noble, 90, died of heart failure Thursday, Oct. 23, in her Barrington home. Born Jane Valentine in Chicago, Mrs. Noble graduated from an Eastern boarding school and studied two years at Smith College in Northampton, Mass., before returning to Chicago, where she completed a bachelor's degree in philosophy at the University of Chicago in 1935. She met Newton Noble Jr. at a party she threw for friends and, in 1937, became his wife. Mr. Noble died in August. A lifelong homemaker, Mrs. Noble volunteered at Sherman Hospital in Elgin during World War II and, for many years, was active in fundraising for the Illinois Children's Home & Aid Society. She was a member of the Garden Club of America and a past president of the Barrington Garden Club. When Interstate Highway 90 was built, Mrs. Noble helped lead the club's effort to landscape the areas around the Barrington exit, her daughter said. A former member of The Woman's Board of the Art Institute of Chicago, Mrs. Noble founded the Barrington Community Associates in the late 1950s. She taught Sunday school for many years at St. James Episcopal Church in West Dundee, her daughter said. She was "always open for new fun, very sparkly," her daughter said. Other survivors include a son, Charles; two grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. A service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday in St. James Episcopal Church, 516 Washington St., West Dundee.

A 42-year-old Glendale Heights man was sentenced to 35 years in prison on today for repeatedly sexually assaulting a 12-year old girl in 2007.
Gerarlo Jimenez, formerly of the 0 block of West Schubert Avenue, was convicted in October 2008 by DuPage Judge Perry Thompson of three counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child and aggravated criminal sexual assault, said Assistant DuPage State's Atty. Michael Pawl.
Jimenez was charged in 2007 with molesting the child several times in early 2007 after the victim's mother reported her concerns to police.

Nov. 5, 2015
SAN DIEGO – The San Diego Gulls dropped their first game vs. the Ontario Reign by a score of 4-1. The Gulls, who downed the Reign twice during the preseason, return to Ontario five more times this season and matchup vs. the Reign six times in San Diego.
Michael Mersch, who leads Ontario in goals and ranks tied for second in points, opened scoring at 8:44 of the first period, his sixth of the season. Mersch put in a rebound after a blocked shot by Gulls goalie John Gibson.
The Reign extended their lead to three with consecutive goals by Adrian Kempe, his second and third of the season. Kempe's first goal, at 1:27 of the second period, was assisted by Crescenzi and LoVerde while Ebert and Backman added helpers on his second goal.
San Diego answered with a goal by Brian McGrattan, his first of the season, but Ontario responded with a power play goal after Tim Jackman was sent to the box for holding. Ontario's fourth goal of the game was Adrian Kempe's third, giving him a hat trick in the first 35 minutes of play.
San Diego's Brian McGrattan dropped the gloves with Ontario's Paul Bissonnette, McGrattan's first fight of the season, but the increased level of physicality didn't change the pace.
Stu Bickel and Kurtis MacDermid dropped the gloves later in the period, making for a physical yet scoreless final frame.
The Gulls continue up the coast for a day contest against the San Jose Barracuda on Saturday, Nov. 7, before the Ducks and Sharks, San Diego and San Jose's respective NHL affiliates, face off that same night, also in San Jose.

Song Kol (also called Song Kul) is an alpine lake in the Tien Shan mountains of Kyrgyzstan. It is surrounded by high mountain pastures called jailoos, where Kyrgyz herdsmen graze their livestock during the summer months (June to August), living a semi-nomadic life in yurts. Come to Song Kol, and breathe in deeply.
Hiking around Song Kol
Song Kol's location, 3000m above sea level and surrounded by grassy meadows, lends itself excellently for hikes of any duration. If you feel like striking out on your own, check out some of the following trails:
Horse riding in Song Kol
Horse riding is one of the things to do in Song Kol. In terms of scenery, available trails and price you will be hard pressed to find a better place for a horse trek of a few days. CBT in Naryn and Kochkor and Shepherd's life offer horse rental plus guide for a reasonable price, as do many other tour operators. You can also rent horses straight from the local shepherds. They know the price, so don't expect to make a hard bargain.
How and when to go
It can snow all year round at Song Kol, so come prepared. Having said that, the best time for a visit is July to September. The last weekend of July and August sees traditional Kyrgyz horse games organized by tour companies.
If you don't have your own transport, you will probably want to rent a car to get to the lake independently, as there is little through-traffic and no public transport going there. Prices are quite high, so it's nice if you can share it with others. Once again, CBT or Shepherd's life in Kochkor are the easiest options. You can also try to speak to people on the bazaar in Kochkor to see what price they are offering.
You can also get to the lake on foot or on horseback from Kyzart or Chekildek in a few days, or by car from Naryn or Chayek.
Yurt stays
There are about 15 yurt camps spread around the lake, operated by different travel organisers. Watching the sun go down over the lake and seeing the sky fill up with stars is one of the more memorable things you can do on the shores of Song Kol.

From the Craze of Achilles to the Wisdom of Xenophon
The War That Killed Achilles: The True Story of Homer's Iliad and the Trojan War
The Landmark Xenophon's Hellenika
In 396 BCE the Spartan king Agesilaus had planned an expedition to liberate the Greeks of Asia Minor from the tyranny of Persian satraps, and he had transported his forces to the island of Euboea, intending to launch an invasion from its southeast coast. But not far away on the Greek mainland lay Aulis, where the king badly wanted to sacrifice a deer to the goddess Artemis in order to win favoring winds for crossing the Aegean. This was a publicity stunt that every Greek would have immediately understood, for here Agamemnon had departed for the war against Troy over 850 years before. Agamemnon had famously sacrificed his own daughter Iphigeneia, even if tradition held that Artemis had snatched her from the altar in the nick of time.
Agesilaus clearly wanted to present himself as a second Agamemnon, although he declined to offer up his own son in imitation of Agamemnon's sacrifice of Iphigeneia. But the Thebans, in whose territory Aulis was located, were not at all pleased to see their legendary site used for Spartan self-promotion. So they broke up the sacrifice ceremony and forced the Spartan king to depart without his homage to Agamemnon.
Agesilaus' plan shows how deeply the Trojan War was embedded in the collective memory of the Greeks. Homer's Iliad, which takes its name from Ilion, the Greek name for Troy, was, along with the Odyssey, the secular scripture of Hellenism. Although it described only part of the tenth and final year of the conflict, its power depended upon the background of a futile war that seemed never to end.
In her new book, The War That Killed Achilles, Caroline Alexander recalls not only the brutal conflicts of that last, fateful year but also the events before and after it. Poets whose works are now lost had told the stories that were presupposed in the Iliad, and all of this was well known to the Greeks who watched tragedies on stage or used the elegantly painted red-and-black-figured pottery that is now the pride of museum curators and private collectors. When Aeschylus wrote his Agamemnon, he knowingly challenged his audience by making the chorus lament that Iphigeneia really had been murdered at Aulis, whereas Euripides would subsequently create two moving plays with different stories of her deliverance. The myths were both fundamental and fluid.
Even so austere a historian as Thucydides felt obliged to mention Troy at the start of his history of the internecine war that tore Greece apart in the fifth century BCE. Although he considered the Peloponnesian War the greatest upheaval (kinesis) of recorded history, he knew that the backdrop for all Greek warfare was the ten-year siege at Troy. Xenophon, an Athenian who continued the history that Thucydides left unfinished when he died, was no less conscious of the allure…

Mike Gordon and Green Mountain Guests for Umphrey's
Umphrey's McGee performed four shows in three days at South Burlington, VT's Higher Ground this past weekend, including a special Stew Art Series improvisational gig. A number of Burlington musicians also took the stage with the band throughout the multi-night run. On Friday, Mike Gordon swapped in for Umphrey's McGee bassist Ryan Stasik for a 16-plus minute version of "In the Kitchen." The sit-in marked the first time a member of Phish has performed with the band. The following night the group brought out a horn section consisting of Dave Grippo, Bryan McNamara and Jen Hartswick. The three appeared for a rearranged "Cemetery Walk" and Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" at the start of its second set and, later, "Baby Honey Sugar Darlin'" and "Partyin' Peeps." "Baby Honey Sugar Darlin'" has not been played live by the band in nine years. Hartswick, who is married to a member of the band's road crew, also supplied vocals on a show-closing cover of Heart's "Barracuda."

'Bed tax' reform threat looms
Nursing homes could be hurt if the federal government lowers the Medicaid provider tax safe harbor threshold to reduce the national deficit, according to a January report from the Congressional Research Service.
The White House's 2013 budget proposes lowering the threshold to 3.5% from 6%, limiting states' abilities to fund Medicaid through the so-called "bed tax" and reducing matching federal Medicaid funds.
This might cut federal payments by $21.8 billion from 2015 to 2022, according to White House estimates.
The nursing home lobby has campaigned hard against any lowering of the bed tax ceiling.
"This is a significant source of income for providers who already face a significant shortfall in Medicaid reimbursement," said American Health Care Association spokesman Greg Crist.

10 Korean celebrity couples who have confirmed their relationships in 2015
Love must be in the air in South Korea because 2015 has been jam-packed with celebrity dating announcements! Kim Woo Bin and Shin Min Ah are the most recent celebrity couple to confirm their relationship status, but they aren't the only ones to announce their dating to the world. Here are 10 Korean celebrity couples who have confirmed their relationships in 2015:
1. Kim Woo Bin and Shin Min Ah
The two met while shooting for Giordano, and, after Dispatch released photos of their secret dates, the two confirmed on July 22 that they are, in fact, dating. Best of luck to the new couple!
2. Lee Min Ho and Suzy
I don't know if you've heard, but Lee Min Ho and Suzy are dating....In what might have been the biggest K-celeb story of the year, Hallyu hotshots Lee Min Ho and Miss A's Suzy confirmed their relationship status in March after sneaky ole Dispatch caught them dating abroad.
3. Ohn Joo Wan and Jo Bo Ah
This one's just adorable. Surplus Princess costars Ohn Joo Wan and Jo Bo Ah decided to start dating in real life several months after the completion of their drama. I love when onscreen chemistry translates off-screen! They also announced their relationship in March.
4. Ryu Soo Young and Park Ha Sun
Speaking of costars who announced their relationship in March, these two met on the set of Two Weeks and started dating a year later. He may have lost the girl in the drama, but they ended up together in real life!
5. Taeyang and Min Hyo Rin
Big Bang's Taeyang met actress Min Hyo Rin on the set of his "1AM" music video, and they confirmed the relationship last month. He said she's his first real girlfriend. Awwwww!
6. Yuri and Oh Seung Hwan
The Girls' Generation member and her boyfriend, a pitcher for the Hanshin Tigers, were also technically "caught" by Dispatch in April, though the photos kind of look like they weren't hiding very hard. More power to them!
7. Yoon Hyun Min and Jun So Min
These two met through costar and mutual friend Jung Kyung Ho, who starred in dramas with both actors. Their dating was a fairly open secret in the industry, but the official news broke in April.
8. Lee Dong Gun and Jiyeon
This news has only been out for a couple of weeks, but they met while filming the movie Encounter in May and have grown close ever since.
9. Lee Min Woo and Ko So Hyun
The news about the Shinhwa star and the model came out a few days ago when they left for Los Angeles together to take a vacation before Shinhwa performs at KCON. However, the pair had been dropping hints about their relationship status online with photos like couple rings.
10. Jo Jung Suk and Gummy
Sorry, Oh My Ghostess Park Bo Young/Jo Jung Suk shippers, but he's already in a relationship! By the time singer Gummy and actor Jo Jung Suk finally announced their relationship to the public in February, they had been together for over two years. Media outlets had already suspected that they were a couple when Gummy attended several of Jo Jung Suk's premieres.
What do you think of this sudden outflow of dating announcements? Do you think that having some high-profile stars feel admit their dating is creating a pathway for other celebrities to be open about their relationships as well? It's nice to see more stars allowed to enjoy their personal lives without the public backlash they used to get for dating, isn't it? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
What happens when a lusty virgin ghost possesses a shy young kitchen assistant? Find out in the quirky new comedy Oh My Ghostess:

The Franchise Owner's most trusted news source
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Yum Brands Inc. (NYSE:YUM), with some 40,000 affiliated restaurants worldwide, reported on Wednesday its financial results for the second quarter ended June 14, 2014. Comparable sales for its American stores from this year's second quarter was hard hit compared to last year's. KFC same-store sales were 4 percent lower than the same time last year. Pizza Hut same-store sales also saw a drop of 4 percent. And Taco Bell, which rolled out a whole new daypart of breakfast right before the second quarter began, had only a 2 percent rise in same-store sales.
The bright spot for Yum was China, which grew 15 percent in same-store sales growth for their concepts compared to a dismal 2013 with its bird flu scare. In particular, KFC stores in China, which are almost all company-owned, increased 21 percent in same-store sales.
KFC has had difficulty in its home country, with Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen (NASDAQ:PLKI), Chick-fil-A and other quick service restaurant brands eating into the market share of its affiliated stores.
Although Sam Su, the vice-chairman of Yum Brands Inc. and also the chairman and CEO of Yum's China division, did not attend an earnings call yesterday morning for analysts, Yum's top chairman and CEO David Novak spoke on behalf of China's initiatives. Su is based in Shanghai and Novak works in Louisville. "China Division system sales increased 21 percent as we opened 104 new restaurants and delivered same-store sales growth of 15 percent," said Novak. "Overall, we remain on track to open at least 700 new restaurants in China as we further capitalize on the world's largest and fastest growing consuming class."
In the earnings call, franchisees were mentioned a few times as mainly a source of revenue for Yum and its brand expansion. "We simply love the franchise model, which will generate about $2 billion of franchise fees in 2014," said Novak. "These franchisees provide us with a large, reliable and growing stream of cash, which combine with a profit from our equity stores and enable us to invest in high return growth opportunities and return significant cash to our shareholders." Nearly 90 percent of Yum Brands' 40,000 restaurants are franchised outside of China.
Although franchisees have had their difficulties with KFC in the past, one major franchisee told this journal that the brand looks like it may actually be in more of a listening mood this time around. He reports that KFC's CEO is engaging franchisees through their independent franchisee association, called the Association of KFC Franchisees. "Micky Pant is attending almost every franchisee [association] meeting," he says about the activities of KFC's CEO. He thinks there is a fresh wind at KFC. "Right now I am hopefully optimistic about our future. I certainly want to give these guys a real chance to succeed and I feel in my old KFC bones that they are on the right track."
Restaurant analyst Mark Kalinowski of Janney Capital Markets gives a "neutral" buy rating on Yum Brands for Wall Street investors, estimating that the risks in China balance the upside. The analyst also points out that Yum's bright spot of the 2 percent rise in Taco Bell's same-store sales was actually poor considering that Wall Street anticipated 4 percent growth. Kalinowski states, "Taco Bell's same-store sales during Q2 [second quarter of 2014] may have been hampered to some degree by the focus on the national launch of breakfast." This is a rookie mistake that lesser leaders have made. Kalinowski elaborates, "At times in the past with other (non-YUM) brands, we have seen how the increased marketing/promotional attention paid to the breakfast daypart creates a situation in which – all else equal – lunch/dinner daypart sales take a hit that they otherwise likely would not have taken." Kalinowski thinks Taco Bell will continue to grow same-store sales at the same rate in its third and fourth quarters, that is to say 2 percent.
Assistant professor of clinical marketing Ira Kalb is critical of Taco Bell's advertising campaign that kicked off its breakfast by stabbing at competitor McDonald's. "The company seems to have lost its marketing brain," the professor at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business wrote in Business Insider. "Poking fun at Ronald McDonald (a mascot that has helped a lot of children with cancer), and disparaging the Egg McMuffin are going to only help the competitors being attacked," elaborated Kalb.
Yum's CEO reassured analysts that Taco Bell is "in very good shape" and that he "feels very good about the second half." He added, "the innovation we have coming is going to continue to improve our unit economics and help us take Taco Bell from 5000 stores to 8000 stores." Novak also noted, "We think small box derivatives of our base brands will give us more opportunity, which we think will give us the biggest idea of all."
Novak stresses that KFC is getting better and that Pizza Hut is in a major turnaround mode that should begin to see results in 2015. The CEO says that selling restaurants to franchisees will be a big revenue maker for the franchisor. "One of our big engines at Yum! is new unit development," says Yum's CEO.
The franchisor's worldwide operating profit increased 34 percent. Yum Brands also reported over 30 percent growth in earnings per share to stockholders this week. Regarding the future, Yum's chief financial officer Pat Grismer promised to deliver at least a 20 percent earnings per share growth during the year to Wall Street investors. "And if we can do better, I assure you we will," he asserted.

Heavy duty metal pouch laminator. Produces consistent results and is easy enough to use. Wish it would warm up a little bit quicker.
Reviewed on 11/11/2015
Very satisfied with the purchase and would recommend this for shops that would need a hot laminator to handle most of what would ever come through the door.
We had an opportunity to add this new service for one of our clients. What they needed and what our cost was to have them made, not to mention the rush turnaround the client needed, evoked a quest to bring this service, in house.
My Bindings was the only company that had a human answering the phone and not some email submission process that has become the norm these days. They answered my questions and made a recommendation for this machine to handle this job and many more.
Not needing a large commercial Hot Laminator nor wanting a light weight small machine that couldn't do more than small tasks, this was it. Having metal gears and 4 rollers, with the ability to handle 10 mil. It was the ideal machine for us.

Welcome to MyBinding video. Today we're looking at the ProLam Plus 330, a pouch laminator by Akiles. This is a step by step demonstration of how to laminate with the ProLam Plus.
Plug it in and turn the unit on with the power switch. Select the temperature that you need for your pouch size and you can use the helpful chart on the top of the machine to make your selection. The green ready light means you're ready to go. Place your materials into laminating pouches, be sure the margins are even, and the crease always goes in first into the throat of the machine. At a top speed of 20 inches per minute, you won't have to wait too long for your projects to be done. When they are finished, remove them and lay them flat on a surface to cool. The ProLam Plus has a reverse feature. Simply flip down the switch and the rollers will go backwards. You can re-center or remove your project if needed. Be sure to take advantage of the 13 inch wide throat opening. You can do large posters or even projects side by side to save time. Simply place it in and the ProLam will take over from there. And always leave your finished projects laying flat on a surface to cool. You can make adjustments to the temperature at any point, just wait for the green light to go. The cold lamination feature allows you to work with photos and other color sensitive materials. It really is that easy with the ProLam Plus 330 by Akiles. And for more demos and reviews of this product and many more, check out MyBinding.com.
All the controls that you could need in a laminator are right here on the front. There's of course the power switch as well as the forward and reverse switch, for removing jams.

Welcome to MyBinding video. This is a product review of the ProLam Plus 330 by Akiles. Laminating on the professional level has never been easier than with the ProLam Plus 330. This product by Akiles has so much to offer. And for a price point of under $300, this is a great buy.
All the controls that you could need in a laminator are right here on the front. There's of course the power switch as well as the forward and reverse switch, for removing jams. And there's the heater as well as cold lamination settings right there on these switches. We love the temperature dial and the green ready light as well as the great chart on the top of the machine helping you to determine which temperature is best for your pouch thickness.
In terms of laminating speed, this machine is quite fast, up to 20 inches per minute. Obviously, the thicker the pouch, the longer it will take. Another great feature is this machine can handle up to 10mil in thickness.
Though jams are rare, the reverse feature is very helpful in case that happens. Simply flip the switch, the rollers go in reverse, and you can remove or re-center your document. And the extra large 13 inch wide throat opening is very helpful for posters or doing multiple documents in one pouch.
The all metal construction of this machine is fantastic. It's very durable and the interior is also tough as it contains silicone rollers that allow you to laminate with or without carriers. However, a carrier is always wiser if you want to keep your machine clean. We like how you can change the temperature at any time that you need. And simply flip the switch for cold lamination of self-adhesive pouches or use with materials such as photos or color sensitive documents.
The ProLam Plus 330 is a great machine. It's a little ugly to look at and the price point is under $300. But it's well worth every dime. And for more demos and reviews of this product and many more, check out MyBinding.com.
Akiles ProLam Plus 330 Professional Pouch Laminator Review
If you're looking for a top-notch laminator for your office or copy room, it would be hard to do better than the Akiles Pro-Lam Plus 330. Akiles is known for creating extremely high-quality office machines and the Pro-Lam Plus 330 is just one example. Continue reading to discover the features of this fantastic machine and find out why you should purchase one for your laminating needs!
The Akiles ProLam Plus 330 is a professional-grade laminator and with its dual-color metal exterior, it certainly looks the part. The interior is also tough and it contains silicon rollers that enable you to laminate without or without carriers. (Note: you should always use a carrier when laminating. Without a carrier, hot glue can seep out of the laminating pouch and mar your document - and possibly damage your machine.) The ProLam Plus 330 has a patented dual-heat system consisting of both heated rollers and plates, allowing for flawless lamination at any temperature, even when laminating photographs. The temperature is easy to control and can be adjusted gradually, and the ProLam Plus 330 offers cold lamination so you don't need to a separate machine to laminate heat-sensitive items. Akiles has also equipped this laminator with a forward/reverse switch, so it's easy to clear jams should they happen. Needless to say, the ProLam Plus 330 is easy to use and even laminating newbies should be able to use the machine without any difficulty.
You may be wondering what size items you can laminate with the ProLam Plus 330. Well, there's good news. One of the ProLam Plus 330's best features is its very wide 13-inch throat. This large opening is great because it means you can easily laminate larger documents, including signs, menus, and so on. (Naturally, you can also laminate smaller documents, as well.) And you can be sure your documents will be strong because the ProLam Plus 330 can accommodate various sizes of pouches, including the very thick 10 mil pouch. Finally, this laminator is speedy and it can laminate at speeds up to 20 inches long in one minute. That's pretty fast, yes? That will sure be helpful when you're under a tight deadline!
As for drawbacks, the ProLam Plus 330 only has a couple. The price might be a bit prohibitive, with the machine retailing for anywhere between $300.00 and $400.00. (Although, when you compare the cost of laminating your own documents to sending them to a copy shop, you'll see that the machine pays for itself.) The ProLam isn't the most stylish machine available either. It's rather boxy and industrial-looking, so if the look of your laminator is a concern, you may want to buy a different machine.
Overall, the ProLam Plus 330's drawbacks shouldn't be too alarming, considering this machine is designed for frequent use. This laminator emphasizes function over form, and it functions beautifully. If your business needs a rugged, efficient laminator that can handle both big and small jobs, the ProLam Plus 330 is just the product to get!
