On how I stepped aboard Southport's famous Cyclone – and survived!
AS a kid I always loved to go to the Southport fair, it was magical, the noise and bustle of the crowds, the music blasting out from every ride, the screams of the people when they were told the price of the candy floss, it was great.
My earliest memories are sitting in a little police car going around and around with my older brothers and sister shouting at me to press the button which turned on a flashing light on the roof.
When I got off the ride I was completely gutted... I hadn't had the sense to use the little light, I should have worked it out for myself – I was 23 after all.
My favourite ride was the rollercoaster, or Cyclone to give it its correct title. It wasn't like these namby-pamby rollercoasters you get in Alton Towers now, fabricated from the latest developments in high tensile steel and designed by a scientist in a lab in Sweden – no, our old rollercoaster had its own unique charm... it was straight out of an episode of Scooby Doo.
I love rollercoasters and over the years I have been on most of the modern masterpieces but when I get on one, whether it's the Big One at Blackpool or the Nemesis at Alton Towers, I don't really feel scared.
To start off you are strapped in like a Formula One driver shrouded in carbon fibre and titanium, so right away you feel safe.
These modern rides are spotlessly cleaned and brilliantly maintained. The staff wear the same uniform, they have walkie-talkies and headsets so you are comforted in the fact that the crew are professional and know what they are doing.
On the other hand when you were in the queue for the Cyclone, you were seriously contemplating hopping over the barrier and doing a runner shouting at the top of your voice: "We are not going to make it, we're all going to die!"
For starters the whole thing looked like my dad had built it from scrap wood from the tip. When the cars went past the whole thing used to shudder and you could hear it creek.
The staff looked like they had just escaped from prison and as for uniforms, no way! The bloke who used to sit in the control box would be wearing cut down jeans, rigging boots and a vest that looked older than the Cyclone it self.
He would have a fag hanging out of his mouth and a can of Special Brew in his hand.
They never had walkie- talkies. Instead they would shout instructions over the heads of the customers sitting in the cars. "Hey Terry have you had time to look at those brakes?" Now that is scary.
There were no restraints or sponge bars to pin you into your seat. I say seat... it was harder than a scrap yard dog. The seat was a plywood bench covered in cloth that gave no comfort and every bump and jolt was transmitted directly to your spine. I'm sure local chiropractors used to rub their hands together every time they drove passed it.
But thinking back the most unique thing about the Cyclone were the trees that used to grow in the centre.
Every time you flew past at breakneck speed branches used to whip you about the face and neck.
You were lucky not to be blinded – it was fantastic.
The new rollercoasters might be bigger, faster, and have corkscrews and stuff but they can't get close to our old Cyclone for fear factor.
When you were in that queue you really thought you could die and that's a thrill that would get anyone's adrenaline pumping.
Southport Cyclone 1937-2006 I miss you. Happy days.

2010 CURRENT FISHING REPORT July 2010
July 31st 2010 - Good Fishing!
I had the Wynn men out today and the fish were scattered, but interested. We worked most of the east end of the lake and scratched up 22 fish for our efforts= 18 salmon and 4 lakers. A good day with the usual 30 bait change out but the bites were consistent all day- Things are officially changing so be ready! Great trip Men!
July 30th 2010 - Found 'em
Good day with associated clowns. We found the slimy suckers and took what they gave- counted 28 4's among the posse. Turnip Captain Dave and I fish 'em today and you know what happened- too many cooks in the kitchen. But if you give all the cooks a few drinks, they really seem to get along- keep chasing, don't sit in one spot too long!
July 29th 2010 - Where did they go?
Had the Brock crew out today and couldn't find the kokes. We fished Cebolla hard and the fish have left the building. We picked 8 and lost a few and worked hard with no biomass to support the effort. The move is on and hit and run is the name of the game- start working hard unless you know a sweet spot- and keep working intil the conditions change!! But........... if you think it was a bad day for Blue Mesa Fishing, check out waht happened to this poor guy when launching the boat when bad. We were there to help him and we saw him fishing today! Sorry bud- don't feel bad, I have done this once too!!!!!!!!!
July 28th 2010 - Priceless
We had the Price crew out today and it was a priceless day. Overcast all day with light wind brought the bite on with big fours. We nailed 20 lost a few and a one jumped out of the cooler into the drink! Anyway, oranges and pinks and location has changed. Head WEST out of Elk Creek and the fleet will lead you to Kokanee!
July 27th 2010 - Workin!
We had the Heinke crew out today and the kokes made us work. Blame it on the full moon or anything but we picked throughout the day and were snubbed by massive schools around the lake. We ended up with ten in, a few out but had a great day chasing silvery slabs. Some great reports came from around the lake as well as OK ones- right place, right time- you'll catch every time! Thanks guys, a great crew and fishermen!
July 26th 2010 - Alive and Well
Took the Ms' and the bomb squad out on a mission and succeeded. Big fours at 40-50 fow in the narrows on pastel colors- GO DEEP. The fish were picky but slow and steady pulled it together. We'll report after the charter tomorrow!!
July 25th 2010 - Looking for 4
Smoke on the water and BMF went to follow 4's east and didn't get far enough. We had all the 2's we could catch and left 'em to make to next years' boards. Some were caught at the irons and we looked to dry creek for some and found straglers. One guide had a decent morning with medium sized fish and a few 4's- it's getting tough, but rewarding!
July 24th 2010 -OK...
Captain Dave and I went out on a mission to keep the pattern alive and did OK. 16 landed only a few 4's and changing baits until the wind came. Check mate kokes- keepin it interesting!
July 23th 2010 - Not Bad!
Working hard today as the sun came out and changed the bite completely. Guides day off today with the zoo crew on the ss stink ship and we worked hard but nailed 16- lost a few. Less 4's than 2's and 3's but associated clowns reported 16 4's today in deeper water- good work clowns! – and clown squid was hitting good- any relation… I don't know. We're going to hit it hard for the next week as the second season is soon to start. Talk soon
July 22nd- Pickin Away!
We had solo man Todd out today for a morning crack shot and caught kokes. There still here and everything I said earlier… disregard!! The fish haven't changed and haven't left. I just have no clue what's going on- but fishing everyday is helping me help you figure it out. It's still happening with big and little fish being caught and limits being hit. The fillet station is busy and so are we so drop 'em to 34fow, green and oranges and catch your fish!
July 21st 2010 Working Hard!
Another stellar day with the Toltan Crew. The fish were short biting all day but did bite about every 5 minutes. We managed 16 to the boat and stop counting the drops in the first hour. The fours were hard to find but associated clowns hit 'em hard at different locations- counts were up to 46 4's between two boats- wow. It's still on- stop reading this and come fishing!
July 20th 2010 Non Fishing Day
Non-fishing related activities today. Captain Dave and I went out yesterday and nailed 12 lost a few- same report for guide's day off with Sport Fish Colorado +2. It's slowing currently, but 4yr olds are the common size. Pics will be up soon. Hang in there we'll be fishing soon. They are still here!
July 19th Slow and steady!
Good am bites with the usual suspects still catching big salmon. Iola is having many 2-3 yr old days and cebolla has little to no reports with Lake Fork doing the best. The past 2 days have been good with less numbers but great fish and splitting the days with searching missions. The future is looking good so make fishing Blue part of yours.
July 17th-18th Still Going!
Two more great days of fishing with big change ups in mood, location, depth and color. I won't give up the details because they aren't solid but follow the boats right now and keep it in the 30fow range. Anyway, the Ratliff party rocked kokes yesterday up to 30 fish landed and today was slower but that's because I was relaxing for once!- Excuses, excuses I know- oh well. It's still happening!
July 15-16th Change Up!
The gods laughed at us as we pushed yesterdays spread through lifeless water. The fish have moved.... a bit. The Daniels crew and I worked hard though, reassembled the pattern and ended up with 20- forget the losses! Anyway, things are changing so be ready for anything goes- . This morning, (Friday) we went to look for realy deep salmon in very secret spots and found some!
July 14th Thank the fish Gods
Jeff and Mark broke the charts today with all around awards. First of all, they landed the most salmon of any trip-32 salmon!+ 2 trout. They also caught the smallest salmon I've ever seen. AND, they lost the most fish I've ever seen- 19- these are fish hooked and lost, not strikes! Hell of a day- big four year olds pushed 50% of the catch. The pattern stands at watermellon colors at 28-20fow, 3 to 5 colors- Lake Fork basin, deep water. Wow, I'm tired and out of corn!- It's on, It's on, It's on..... come and git it on!
July 13th Never ending
Spanked, smacked and slayed up salmon today. 29 landed, 20 in the box, 6 trout released, 7 lost at the boat. The Mcguire men rocked it today and the salmon obeyed. What a day with big 4's and mixed sizes all day- highs and lows make the best trip and this one nailed it!!!
July 12th- More of Same..... Great Fishing!
Non fishing related activities today! Blah! but guides and associated clowns were out today and the fish are still here. Forget the reports, just plan your next trip. Folks, my policy remains the same, catch me after a trip or at the fillet station and I'll spill the beans- the days the pattern stay the same- you'll be on it, but I will always try to steer ya in the right direction, unless it was a terrible day.... but try to expect good fishing, I do. So do something nice for your boss, or wife, if they are different and get out here!! Here's a vid from Sunday- two guides goofin' off!
Some OK Videos of people catching fish!
July 11th 4 bangers
Another slay day aboard the boat today. The Leibel crew had a heck of a trip with 29 kokes landed- many lost and trout mixed in. What a day with 19 4 year olds- steady pattern all day- YES YES YES- pics on BMF.com- working on youtube videos again- now!
July 10th High Hooker
Today was a numbers day, and I went out on a solo mission to keep the pattern alive for this weeks' trips. I landed 23 kokes + many lost and mixed trout- only two salmon kept for dinner- all others released for you! Turnip and associated clowns also had a hot day today with big numbers and weight- and fish moving deeper and becoming more aggresive- squids and uncle joes brought it today with the variations doing well in the slow times. I joined Turnip this afternoon and through a slow picked we nailed 20.25" koke weighing 3.0 lbs! I hope it stays great! There are currently complaints mounting about terrible fishing and it's leading to alternate measures that we are not sure of yet- but- to catch more fish, fish 10 hour sessions with a minimum of 20 bait selections- this is a start to catch more- the days of sitting back and hammering are over- we are now working full time!!!!
July 9 th Red Hot!
One of our favorite guides had an incredible day today with a huge number of kokes. We went out for evening session to check the pattern and picked 3 four year olds and 2 2's. The pattern is early and greens and rainbows. Work 'em hard with the change up and keep going- you will also have a banner day. Expect this to continue!
July 8 th Slabby!
Captain Dave and I had another day off and decided to go............ fishing! Early am bite brought it with only slab 4 year olds. The bite continues and the am is good way to start the day- get on the water in the dark- then fumble into the daylight with a pattern. It's still hot so if you book a trip- be prepared to start early! Keep on fishing!!
July 7 th Dogs Day!
Hello folks- here to give an overview of the season and some reports. Kokes continue to hit the boards today while I joined a guides day off with Robby Richardson of Sport Fish Colorado and Justin somethingorother- the first call guide for the marinas. We had 'em during the morning blitz from 14 to 18fow on the usual suspects with trends moving in the green direction. Fish are beginning to school slightly deeper but the more active feeding fish are in the upper columns. Corn continues to be a must and don't be afraid to try some scent with it. Be sure to have an arsenal ready because the fish are here- if you're not catching, change it up, and down, and color and speed. Don't drag the same ole thing too long! - the fish will abide. Anyway, this site is being worked on daily, the logo and shirts are still being developed and - we're on our way to jigging season. You can expect to see us starting to look for schools in a few weeks and if you're interested in a trip- now's the time to book- we're filling up fast. Anyway- stay tuned- most pics are up at Bluemesafishing.com, my crappy internet will only let me upload so much video per month- lame- so check over there for pics! We'll give an update tomorrow!
July 6th Hammered!
25 landed- more released and too many 4's broken off- it's on- We had the Lyle crew with special guest Parry Parino out we clocked 'em. The am blitz put slabs in the boat and we continued to pick and hammer throughout the day- 22 kept, many lost or broken off and a couple who were released to swim another day! Good trip men!
July 5th - Busted!
The pattern finally busted with the return of the afternoon winds we haven't seen in 4 weeks. It did change the pattern and fishing is still good. We had the LeBonde party out today and had a great trip full of highs and lows. We hooked a big laker, fought and lost four year olds and got worked by a big school in Lake Fork. We managed 8 to fillet station and everyone had a heck of a time. Check mate kokanee! We put it back together tonight and nailed nothing but 4 yr olds and let's hope we can carry this thing to tomorrow- hope you had a good holiday- clean it up, pack it up, and get back up here- the schools is here
July 4th Rockin!
2 Trips a day- veryone rockin 20- 30fish a day- no b/s. The fishing is still hot but the wind has come back! The am bite is hot so get out earlier- the full story is at bluemesafishing.com- reports!
July 3nd 2010- Night Bite
Had the Hogan party for an evening session 3-8pm and it was great. The wind is back and the bite didn't phase- 15 landed, many released and only 5 lost- big fours battled the crew and doubles were happening- great crew, great bite!- it's still happening!
July 2nd 2010- Day Off!
Turnip and I went on a Morrow Point Charter with Robby and Ryan today on a personal invite from Ed of Western Pump and Dredge and it was awesome. 2 boats 10 guys and we had fish all day! Big 4 year olds and mixed bag trout. These two guys do the hard time and are a valued asset of the park service for these trips.- Blue mesa report- still hot- guys had 'em all day and quit with the rain- it is good!
July 1st 2010- Repeat!!
We had charters the last two days- tons and tons of kokes- good mix with monster 4's and mixed bag- video will be up soon- will it ever stop? Kick ass trip today. 23 landed 20kokes/3trout, 8 dropped- 6 four year olds.- Robert and Betty put it to 'em and the koke responded- will have pics later, must sleep.

Maybe you have what all series of Game of thrones you have never played as me who is writting this,but if you use to read news on internet or in newspaper you know this movie as sex thing so far .
This is over what i heard that you watched between Jaime and Cersei in the tower (serie one ,episode one ) and more than the orgy in series four, episode three between Oberyn, Ellaria, Olyvar.
GAME of Thrones star Nathalie Emmanuel goes topless in a sizzling new sex scene as Missandei beds eunuch soldier Grey Worm.As The sun reported "
The pair finally confirmed their feelings for each other by going to bed togetherThe saucy sex scenes come as the pair were preparing to say goodbye ahead of his voyage to Casterly Rock.Grey Worm, who was castrated as an infant to join the ranks of the Unsullied, told her: "It is hard for me to say goodbye to you."You are my weakness… When Unsullied are young, the masters learn their fears… But I had no fears."I was never the biggest, never the strongest, but I was bravest, always…"Until I meet Missandei from the isle of Naath. Now I have fear."
She did not let the issues caused by Grey Worm's castration get in the way after he declared his feelings for her.
Missandei kissed him and shed her clothes, and she assured him his limitations did not matter.The romp aired in the early hours of this morning, but most fans will be able to watch the episode on UK TV tonight." the media outlet confirmed

On the way I saw this pair of sparrows taking a bath together in a puddle of water...I was smiling to myself and felt very blissful with my life right now...
It was raining yesterday, that's why I felt a little bit cold when I just walked outside...
Sometimes you don't need to try so hard to find your happiness. Just look around you....Happiness is around you, if you notice it, you can feel it...Simple things can make me so happy...
"It is easy to be pleasant when life flows by like a song,
but the man worth while is the one who will smile
when everything goes dead wrong.
For the test of the heart is trouble,
& it always comes with years,
& the smile that is worth the praises of earth
is the smile that shines through the tears."
~~Ella Wheeler Wilcox~~

The Peugeot 308 impresses from every angle
Take a walk around the Peugeot 308 and you'll be struck by its impressive features. There are the stunning looks, for a start, which combine class and elegance with a genuine Gallic flair that communicates something of the car's innate driveability.
You'll see the distinctive door crease that gives the 308 its appealing sporty countenance. In addition, you'll spot the LED indicator (standard on GT Line and GT) repeaters in the electric folding door mirrors, and you may even see the interior bathed in light as a result of an optional panoramic glass roof.
It is a similar story at the rear end, where the neat light clusters complete the arresting visual effect. Meanwhile, the tailgate opens to reveal one of the largest loading areas in this class of car. Look closely and you'll identify the reversing camera (standard on GT Line and GT), nestled just above the number plate. This, allied to the minimal overhangs at the front and rear, make life straightforward in tight spots, and reflect the concern of Peugeot's design team to create a vehicle that is both beautiful and very easy to live with.
Then you enter the 308's interior. And if you thought the outside of the car was impressive, you'll be completely bowled over by what's in front of you now.
Peugeot is very proud of the 308's minimalist i-Cockpit interior, and that seems perfectly justified. Rather than the usual jumble of buttons and dials that can greet you in a family car, the 308 features an elegant centre console with just a handful of beautifully weighted switches set into it. The rest of the car's controls operate through the 9.7-inch touch screen, itself subtly angled towards the driver for ease of use and safety.
The Head Up instrument panel is another distinctive feature. This sits above the steering wheel, keeping your eyes firmly on the road and ensuring your view of the speedometer and tachometer is unencumbered by the wheel itself.
Also noteworthy is the steering wheel's diminutive size. Peugeot says this is to give the car a go-kart-like driving pleasure, and the effect is certainly achieved. Satisfyingly chunky to hold, the wheel has a modest diameter, with the result that you feel empowered to tackle winding roads with gusto, secure in the knowledge that you'll retain control.
That is partly a result of the finely balanced suspension, which delivers a supple ride but has enough firmness to ensure crisp handling and engaging driving dynamics. These are improved further by the 140kg weight reduction in comparison to the previous-generation 308, which gives the car a reassuring deftness, especially when allied to the 20mm lower centre of gravity.
All the poise in the world is no good unless a car can really deliver on the asphalt, and the Peugeot 308 is certainly no slouch in this department. The brilliance of the 1.6 BlueHDI turbo-diesel engine should come as no surprise. Peugeot has been a world leader in diesel technology for a number of years, and this new power plant generates 120hp with carbon emissions of just 82g/km and a combined-cycle fuel consumption figure of 91.1mpg.
Equally impressive is the 1.2 PureTech three-cylinder petrol unit, which was named International Engine of the Year (1.0 – 1.4 litres) in 2015 and 2016 by a panel of experts from 31 different countries. Its power output is 130hp, and in March 2014 during testing it managed an eye-catching 99.1mpg, covering a massive 1,125 miles on a single tank.
Lest you worry that such tests are insufficiently grounded in the real world, Peugeot has some words of reassurance. Before hitting the production line, the 308 was driven for two million miles. That is the equivalent to 80 trips around the world, giving an indication of Peugeot's concern to create a car that could hold its own in the reliability and usability stakes.
Such a concern is clearly well placed. Buyers in this sector look for cars that can do a job, with minimal fuss and a healthy smattering of panache. The 308 more than meets this brief. It is easy to see why it was named European Car of the Year when it came out in 2014.
Panache is certainly one of the 308's defining traits. And that's not even to mention the spellbinding GTi, available in 250hp and 270hp states of tune. This stunning car recovers a sense of Peugeot's hot-hatch history, and is an important flagship for the entire range.
Not that the 308 needs a performance-spec hero car to enhance its stature. No matter what version you choose, this vehicle has style by the load. Coupled with a great drive, practical yet speedy engines and a fantastic standard of interior and exterior trim, the car is a clear winner, whichever way you look at it.
The car with confidence built in: discover more about the Peugeot 308 at Peugeot.co.uk/308

Seipin deficiency alters brown adipose tissue thermogenesis and insulin sensitivity in a non-cell autonomous mode
Seipin deficiency alters brown adipose tissue thermogenesis and insulin sensitivity in a non-cell autonomous mode - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.

Abstract : Loss-of-function mutations in BSCL2 are responsible for Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy, a rare disorder characterized by near absence of adipose tissue associated with insulin resistance. Seipin-deficient Bscl2 −-− mice display an almost total loss of white adipose tissue WAT with residual brown adipose tissue BAT. Previous cellular studies have shown that seipin deficiency alters white adipocyte differentiation. In this study, we aimed to decipher the consequences of seipin deficiency in BAT. Using a brown adipocyte cell-line, we show that seipin knockdown had very little effect on adipocyte differentiation without affecting insulin sensitivity and oxygen consumption. However, when submitted to cold acclimation or chronic β3 agonist treatment, Bscl2 −-− mice displayed altered thermogenic capacity, despite several signs of BAT remodeling. Under cold activation, Bscl2 −-− mice were able to maintain their body temperature when fed ad libitum, but not under short fasting. At control temperature i.e. 21 °C, fasting worsened Bscl2 −-− BAT properties. Finally, Bscl2 −-− BAT displayed obvious signs of insulin resistance. Our results in these lipodystrophic mice strongly suggest that BAT activity relies on WAT as an energetic substrate provider and adipokine-producing organ. Therefore, the WAT-BAT dialogue is a key component of BAT integrity in guaranteeing its response to insulin and cold-activated adrenergic signals. Berardinelli and Seip congenital lipodystrophy BSCL is a rare autosomal genetic disease characterized by an almost complete lack of white adipose tissue WAT 1,2. BSCL is associated with metabolic disturbances, including insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridaemia, and liver steatosis. The most severe form of BSCL is caused by bi-allelic mutations in BSCL2, which encodes seipin, an endoplasmic reticulum ER protein of unknown function 3. Seipin deficiency strongly impairs adipocyte differentiation in vitro 4,5. In yeast and in cultured human cells, seipin deficiency alters lipid droplet LD morphology, with either a few giant or multiple small LDs 6–9. Recently, seipin was reported to be essential for the initiation of LD formation in yeast 10. In accordance with a potential role in triglyc-eride TG synthesis pathway, seipin was shown to interact with 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 2 AGPAT2 and lipin 1 11,12. Finally, seipin has been shown to promote TG storage through an interaction with the calcium pump SERCA2 in drosophila 13. Nevertheless, the precise biological role of seipin and the exact pathways in which it is implicated remain unclear. A major breakthrough in the understanding of the pathophysiology of BSCL2 came with the generation of global knockout KO mice for Bscl2. Bscl2 −-− mice display severe lipodystrophy, with at least a 90% decrease in WAT mass and the development of insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis, thus recapitulating the main features of the human BSCL phenotype 14–16. Adipose-specific Bscl2 −-− mice exhibit progressive lipodystrophy associated with similar metabolic complications 17 , whereas the transgenic overexpression of Bscl2 in WAT from Bscl2 −-− mice is sufficient to rescue the phenotype 18. Finally, thiazolidinedione TZD treatment in global or adipose-specific Bscl2 KO mice promotes an increase in WAT mass, leading to an improvement of the metabolic 1

Aippasi (the sixth month of the Tamil solar calendar) begins with the Sun's entry into Libra (Thula Rasi). When the Moon is in the constellation of Ashwini Nakshatra on the full-moon day, that month is denoted as Aippasi Masam. The duration of the day and night time is equal during this month, hence it is named as Thula masa—thula means balance (weighing scale).
During the month of Aippasi on Ashwini Star, as declared by Lord Shiva puja is performed with cooked rice and rice food items. Rice cultivation has existed in South India since 1400 BC. Details about rice have been found in the Yajur Veda and is frequently referred to in many Sanskrit texts. Rice is often directly associated with prosperity and fertility and therefore it is customary used during weddings and other religious ceremonies.
As by Lord Siva's words:
"I myself like this food as it gives energy to the whole Universe and goodness to all. Do puja to me with this food and don't forget food is my special roopam (i.e. form)."
|Annabishegam to Kalyana Sundareswarar
As per the Agama Sastra, on paurnami day (full-moon) when it coincides with Ashwini Nakshatra during the month of Aippasi, offering rice annam to Lord Shiva will help yield good crop production, promote economic progress and thus help with the development of the nation.
Hence Annabishekam (special abishekam with cooked rice) an annual affair during the full moon day of the Tamil Month Aippasi was performed this year on Wednesday November 5, 2014 at the Kalyana Sundareswarar Shrine at Arunachaleswarar Temple.

America has a midriff bulge, according to a recent federal study.
Researchers, using random telephone surveys, found that the highest concentration of overweight adults resides in the nation's midsection, namely in states such as Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio.
The results appeared in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, a publication of the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta.
The data was compiled to determine whether people experiencing weight problems were clustered in any particular state or geographic region. Local health officials from around the country conducted the phone interviews as part of the ongoing Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
People living in 32 states and the District of Columbia were asked to provide their heights and weights. The responses were then compared against a body mass index, or a calculation that determines the average weight for various age groups. Those in excess of the index were classified as overweight.

Yes, I am fully aware that this film came out roughly two years ago. And, yes, I saw it at that time. BUT, I completely forgot that I had written a review for it and recently rediscovered the file. As a film I thoroughly enjoyed, I figured it'd be okay to share it 100 weeks late.
Lerman brings to life one of literature's most complex teens.
For most teenagers, high school's a tough enough place even when you have things pretty well figured out. But when you're awkward, quiet, and frequently emotional for reasons you can't understand, it's downright painful.

NUTRIGastronomie©, a new column, when health meets gourmet
[NUTRIGastronomie©] And if happiness was as simple as a fresh tomato, grown in the field, harvested in season ? From Paris to Shanghai I have observed this same crave, and also noted that this is not as simple to satisfy as it may seem… Alain Passard, most talented and visionnary chef of Arpège, 3* claims he serves tomatoes from his own vegetable garden in season only. And he does litteraly serve tons of them … Is this about common sense? Not only … When you find tomatoes everywhere, all year round, mostly imported tomatoes, grown in greenhouses, tomatoes that "would destroy a wall should you throw them against one" as said a farmer friend of mine… organic tomatoes grown on irremediably polluted soils… no wonder that those who swear by health and nutrition tend to merge with the sophisticated gourmet crowd. To expand these ideas further here comes the NUTRIgastronomie© column- when healthy meets gourmet.
We are what we eat (see the Fubiz initiative on picture of the fridge and the fabulous pics by G Galimberti on Grandmas transmission around the world) … When sanitary crisis (See Top 10 Chinese food scandals) echoes economic crisis… food is a comfort zone, a joyful place to be shared with family and friends but also a growing concern …
In all cases we have the power to take positive actions, be responsible and take care of ourselves every single day. Still we need to screen loads of information. From ancestral knowledge -Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda..- to pillars of modern nutrition (acid-alkaline diet, macrobiotic, superfoods…).. without dropping the gourmet experience and discoveries!
Recipes, news, initiatives : this NUTRIgastronomie© column is yours, so that together we gather the relevant resources and build for the better. Don't hesitate to jump in, comment, suggest I'd love to hear from you

Florida Law May Protect College Students' Privacyfrom University Wire
An existing state law may stop University of Florida alcohol records from going home to parents.
The recent change in a federal student privacy act that allows parent notification when students violate alcohol or drug rules may not change anything for Florida universities, because an existing state law guarantees more privacy than the amended national law.
The federal Higher Education Act was revised in October, allowing university officials to call the parents of any students involved in drug or alcohol incidents.
But state law has not changed, and Rob Pritchard, UF Associate General Counsel, said that could mean Florida universities will not be able to use the new federal provision to crack down on student alcohol and drug abuse.
The federal Buckley Amendment, also known as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and part of the Higher Education Act, ensures students privacy in their educational records, such as grades and discipline.
State law does the same.
Both laws have a loophole, however, that has allowed parents of students who are financially dependent on them to request their records.
The new provision expands that loophole on the federal level because it applies to any student, financially dependent or not.
Since state law is more stringent because it applies only to financially dependent students, Pritchard said that one may be the governing law.
Student Affairs Dean Art Sandeen recently asked Pritchard to look into the issue and determine UF's legal rights.
Pritchard said he has not finished researching the issue yet, and a final decision has not been made.
"A decision could be forthcoming in about a month," he said.
Since President Clinton signed the new version of the federal act, several universities in Delaware and Virginia already have taken advantage of the change.
Bonnie Hulburt, dean of students at Radford University in Virginia, said her university has notified the parents of 15 offenders this fall.
Hulburt said the parental notification is part of a broad effort to decrease binge drinking, initiated after five Virginia college students died in alcohol-related deaths last year.
"We've had nothing but favorable reaction," Hulburt said, adding that alcohol violations on her campus have gone down.
As a result, she said, so have the number of assaults, damage incidents and disorderly conduct violations by students.
Radford's parental notification policy applies only to freshmen who are repeat offenders, Hulburt said.
"We've increased the penalties," Hulbert said. "There is a $100 assessment for any student alcohol or drug violation."
That money goes toward paying for the educational seminars student violators are required to take.
UF is trying to beef up its own penalties for such violations but might not be able to include the parental notification.
A committee was formed over the Summer to study how UF could curtail the number of student alcohol and drug incidents.
Head of Judicial Affairs John Dalton is heading up that committee and said he expects the group to offer recommendations to UF administrators by March.
"We're very concerned about the student's right to privacy," said Dalton.

Yale senior stabbed to death
Yale University senior Suzanne Jovin '99 was found stabbed to death about a mile north of the University's central campus, at approximately 10 p.m. Friday night, New Haven police officials said.
Police responded at 9:58 p.m. yesterday to reports of a woman bleeding, according to a New Haven Police press release. Officers discovered Jovin, 21, suffering from multiple stab wounds.
Police said they had not determined whether the stabbing had occurred at the location where Jovin was found.
The medical examiner's office confirmed the cause of death as a multiple stab-wound homicide.
"New Haven police are uncertain of motive, and have leads that are being followed up," said Judy Mongillo, New Haven Police public information officer.
Michael Kuczkowski, press secretary for the New Haven mayor's office, said early indications showed this was not a random event.
Yale Chief of Police James Perrotti said six New Haven Police Department detectives and three Yale detectives had been assigned to the Jovin case.
Sources close to the investigation said Jovin returned keys to a car at Phelps Gate at 9:30 p.m. that evening, half an hour before she was found.
Jovin, a political science and international relations major from Goettingen, Germany, was a coordinator of Best Buddies, a volunteer mentoring program for adults with mental retardation. Earlier in the evening, she and group members held a pizza-making party for the adults at Trinity Lutheran Church, at Orange and Wall streets, said Dan Koehler.
"She did so much to make sure everybody had a good time [at the party]," Koehler said. After the event ended around 8:30, she left in a car with another volunteer, Koehler said.
Jovin had signed out the car from Yale's student-run center for community service and social justice earlier in the day for the event. "The car was in the lot and the keys were returned," Dwight Hall General Secretary Pamela Bisbee-Simonds said. The death is "a tragedy and we're heartbroken."
A Yale School of Forestry professor who lives on Edgehill Street and asked to remain anonymous said the area was fairly populated last evening.
"I was walking my dogs at about 9:30 p.m. down that street," he said. "Last night it was so warm, there were just a lot of people on the street walking dogs. Nothing unusual was going on there." University officials have contacted Jovin's sister, and are working through the day to reach additional family members, said Tom Conroy, Yale's acting director of public affairs.
Hours after students read about Jovin's death in e-mails from their college masters and deans, friends and classmates gathered in the Davenport Common Room to hear the University's response to last night's tragedy.
A panel of University officers and officials explained facts known at the time and offered reassurances to the visibly distraught group. Approximately 100 students packed the room, most sitting on the floor in front of the panel.
Last night's killing was the second of a Yale student in New Haven this decade.
President Richard Levin urged students to "lean on each other" and use the resources of the Yale community to help them through their grief.
"Going forward is going to be difficult," Levin said. "You're going to want to talk, you're going to want to weep, and you're going to want to be angry. Do it."
Yale College Dean Richard Brodhead expressed his disbelief that such a tragic event could occur on a corner only blocks away from his own residence. While Brodhead said he did not know Jovin personally, he said this tragedy warns us not to take for granted the people sitting next to us for dinner.
"Another part of your education - unfortunately and completely involuntary on the part of the school you attend - is events like this," Brodhead said.
Perrotti said the incident occurred in the jurisdiction of the NHPD, but Yale detectives will be interviewing students to reconstruct Jovin's last hours.
"It's pretty much New Haven now," Perrotti said. "Obviously, we're working shoulder-to-shoulder with them, and we want to solve the case."
Representatives from University Health Services and the Chaplain's Office said they will make themselves available for counseling.
Some students were quick to follow Levin's advice. As the meeting broke, students embraced one another and wept.
News of the murder also disrupted this weekend's annual December meeting of the Yale Corporation.
"We're despondent and horrified," said Corporation trustee Jose Cabrenas. "We did conduct the general meeting, but under the pall of [last night's tragedy]."
While Levin urged the Corporation to continue with the day's schedule, the situation drew University Secretary Linda Lorimer away from the meetings for much of the morning. Corporation trustees said they spent much of the morning discussing the event and the agenda was obviously distracted.

ACLU opposes MSU crime policy
A controversial recommendation from the Alcohol Action Team has come under fire from the Lansing chapter of the ACLU as well as Michigan State University's undergraduate student government.
At its Thursday meeting, the ACLU passed a motion formally opposing the proposed Off-Campus Felony Conviction Policy.
The proposed policy would allow campus judiciary boards latitude to punish offenders of felonies committed off campus such as arson, rape and murder with anything from probation to expulsion from the university.
Henry Silverman, president of the Lansing chapter of the ACLU, said students should be seen as independent citizens who have no legal ties to MSU.
"Students are members of the larger society and when they break the law, they should be subject to society's laws, not some college code, because the law should punish a person and not the university," he said. "(The policy) is also very vague and doesn't go into how it's triggered in the first place."
Silverman said he failed to see the point of the measure, saying the only possible reason for its implementation would be to pacify disgruntled East Lansing residents and officials who have a bad taste in their mouths after May's Munn field riot.
"A student convicted of a felony won't be around to be punished anyway, they're going to be in jail," he said. "If the only reason to have this is to make East Lansing feel better, then that's really silly."
MSU President M. Peter McPherson defended the proposed policy, saying its creation would put powers already existing within the university on the books.
"The president has the authority to take such action in extreme cases," he said. "This is helpful because it formalizes what can be done."
McPherson said Silverman should have offered his input this summer when the group was still considering its recommendations.
"I don't see why Dr. Silverman didn't say anything before this," McPherson said. "They never asked to testify about this."
At its meeting on Tuesday night, MSU's Academic Assembly will introduce a bill that will also oppose the implementation of the proposed code, said Jamie Czekai, chairperson of the assembly.
Czekai was a member of the action team from May through October and did not sign the team's final list of recommendations in part because of his opposition to the inclusion of the code.
"I was opposed to it when I was on the action team because I don't agree with changing Article 1.4 of the Academic Freedom Report, which says that if a felony or criminal act occurs off-campus, the law will handle it," he said.

How to Lower High Creatinine Level in Renal Failure Naturally
How to lower the high creatinine level ? Which is the most frequent question asked by renal failure patients. The creatinine level is the important indicator of patients' physical condition, renal failure patients always want to find a way to lower high creatinine, but to their disappointed, expellent drugs, dialysis and kidney transplant torment them a lot.
At the early stage of renal failure, the kidney innate cells have not been hardened completely and there is not other complication with patients except for the increasing creatinine level. But in traditional western medicine' s opinion, there is nothing we can do for renal failure patients with high creatinine, so the patients only can take some expellent drugs to waiting for dialysis.
The high creatinine of some patients are really lowered after taking the drugs or dialysis, but they can expel toxins only and they do nothing to repair the injured kidney. With the development of renal fibrosis, the remaining nephron will lose the function gradually, which is why your creatinine became more and more higher even you have take some measures to control it.
We should know that creatinine is a toxin which should be excreted out of body with urine. But for the damaged filtration function of kidney, the creatinine are deposited in blood, threatening patients' life. Patients who want to lower the high creatinine from root must repair their kidney function at first.
Western medicine have good effect on relieve symptoms. With the help of western medicine, patients can suffer less from some complications. But only controlling symptoms is not enough, we must repair the injured innate cells at the same time. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can treat kidney disease naturally. It contains many kinds of rare Chinese herbs which all have the functions of promoting blood vessel and dissolving blood stasis. We can see that the immune complex and toxins are excreted out of body and there are sufficient blood fluid into kidney, gradually the kidney function will be improved and the creatinine could be lowered.
If you are interested in our treatment for renal failure patients with high creatinine, you can contact our online doctors or send email to email@example.com.

Abstract Nowadays microwave radiation is being researched to produce biodiesel from different raw materials due to the many advantages that this technology presents compared to traditional transesterification, such as shorter reaction times and less amount of heat energy to obtain biodiesel. The aim of this research was to explore the possibility of carrying out the microwave-assisted transesterification of macroalgae and compare the results with the traditional transesterification. For that reason, some experiences were conducted using sunflower oil and macroalgae as raw material. Based on the obtained results, the best conditions for microwave-assisted transesterification reaction were macroalgae to methanol ratio of 1:15 wt-vol, sodium hydroxide concentration of 2 wt % and reaction time of 3 min.

Do I need to be present on move day?
Many seniors getting ready to move wonder if they should be present during the move day. Linda recommends that they stay nearby during the packing and organizing phase, that way she can answer any questions.

The move day can be a stressful situation and its best if they spend some time with friends and family. Then meet with Linda at their new house!
Assistance is just a click or call away. A senior move manager can help. The National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM) is the leading membership organization for Senior Move Managers. It is the first place you should look to to find a certified member in your area to make sure you are taken care of. At Change Is Good, we meet and exceed all standards by NASMM and are accredited members to ensure a refreshing experience.

It was, indeed, a Good Friday. Mommy and Rosie went shoe shopping and were treated to pedicures (my Easter gift from Daddy as chocolate doesn't really fit with the no flour, no sugar thing). We window shopped at Williams Sonoma and shared lunch at the mall. I saw the chiropractor and had a 1/2 hour massage (this is my favorite form of therapy yet!!!!!) from the world's best therapist (even if I do occasionally come out with bruises!).
Gareth and the boys spent the day outside. Gareth got to do woodwork almost all day, the boys played in the rain in the morning, and when the sun came out in the afternoon, they got to wear shorts for the first time this year. We had dinner at Abuelo's, and I got to cuddle Nathan for an hour while he napped. Our church's Good Friday service was excellent. But, by far, the best part of Good Friday came after Good Friday service.
Noah didn't really want to go to Good Friday service. He was tired and a little out of sorts. So, when I finished with the choir and came to sit with the family, he had to be told to sit up. Nathan hadn't even let me get comfortably settled before he crawled into my lap and fell asleep, and Rosie was sitting on Daddy's lap but cuddling my arm, so I wasn't really paying much attention to what Noah was doing once I made sure that he was sitting up. Wasn't really paying much attention that is, until I heard the little sniffing sounds and looked over to see tears rolling down his face. When I leaned over to ask him what was wrong, he dissolved into full-blown sobs (apologies to those families sitting around us last night).
Nathan was blissfully ignorant, and my arms were full, so I did my best to shhh him, and when this didn't work, asked Daddy to set Rosie down and see what was wrong with Noah. He only sobbed more, buried his head in Daddy's arms, and wouldn't tell us. Gareth managed to get the sobs to at least be quiet ones, and Noah continued to cry quietly throughout communion.
When we got out of the van to walk into Abuelo's, Noah came to find me, and slipping his hand into mine, said, "I was just crying because all I could think about how many times I sin. And,
I was thinking about what it cost Jesus to pay for what I did".
I remember as a little girl the first time it really hit me just how much Jesus suffered and that it was my sin that made that necessary. It was a life-changing realization (and I seem to remember a certain little girl who had to be removed from a service because she was sobbing rather a lot). It continues to be a life-changing realization, and it was so special to be there when it happened to Noah and then to be able to talk with him about it.
It has been 3 years since Noah told us that he had asked Jesus to be His Savior, and it never fails to thrill me as we see evidence of him growing in his understanding of Scripture and seeking to apply it in his life. What a privilege it is to watch a little Christian grow. What a responsibility it is to teach and train these small lives I have been given responsibility for.

Should we stay in or get out of the body?
In spiritual practice, when it comes to whether or not one should get out of the body or stay in it, I have heard from Robert Monroe in his book "Journeys out of the Body" and I have heard from Paul Twitchell in his books to include his first one, "In my soul I am free." For the most part, I thought that learning this was an important pursuit. It seemed so magical.
After experimenting with out of body projection and soul travel for a number of years, and after a lot of reading about it, I decided that much like hallucinogenic and drugs, the practice of astral projection or soul travel constitutes more of an escape from the present manifestation of self than a reaching for enlightenment or finding God. Most of what you will find are mind created worlds and beings who know less about God and the Universe than you might expect. You can also run into some pretty nasty characters.
Therefore, once again, I seem to have made a complete turn around in my overall opinion and belief on this subject. We, as somewhat conscious humans, seem to have manifested from the source, an outward physical body for the purpose of experiencing life. Never mind how that was accomplished, it was an amazing feat. To disregard or reject the body, our temple of life, would be a denial of the manifested physical self.
Also, to spend our time in mental anguish and fear worrying about our fate, or trying to get to some place called heaven or the after life is also a form of denial of our current life. Enjoy your life now. Live your life now. This is where your power lies.

Check this story out. It deserves more attention than it has received. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-click-farms-20140106,0,4665586.story#axzz2pma5Opkr
In you own a business, especially if it's small or nascent, you have likely been solicited by companies, many small or nascent themselves, who guarantee they can make you visible everywhere on the internet; with heavy emphasis on "everywhere."
They are selling you likes, clicks, hits, views, visits – anything which may indicate someone is paying attention. Economic success, they tell you, will flow from that. They ask you to pay for a certain number of guaranteed eyeballs a month; plus extra fees for any additional attention your business receives.
You are paying for their (supposed) familiarity with what it takes to be noticed on Facebook, LinkedIn, Yelp, Google Searches, not for actual customer queries and contacts, much less sales. You are not paying for outcomes, but for milestones which may, if you're lucky, lead to tangible results, That's a problem in itself. But when, as the Associated Press reports, even the delivery of the milestones involves fakery, you have real problems. Lots of money is being paid, by large and small organizations alike, for these services.
Yes, for the right amount of money and with the most knowledgeable social networking and search engine gurus, you can make great strides. But, many of the companies out there selling these services are providing false hopes. One false inducement not mentioned in this story, but seen in commercials all the time (ad nauseum), is the claim that for a modest initial fee and twenty bucks a month after that, "we will make sure your website is in all the major search engines." What this really means is the company will help you register with Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc., and make sure your site map is updated with them periodically. That's trivial. By itself, it will get you nowhere, rather than seen everywhere. And besides, your ten year old kid can figure out how to do that for his allowance.
The larger implication of this story is that, not only hasn't the Internet leveled the playing field for small business, as promised, but it's given larger businesses, with the resources to hire the best consultants, a real advantage on the web.
Hiring the best consultants, and doing what's really needed to generate contacts and sales, is time consuming. And it costs a lot on an ongoing basis. Just staying abreast with changes in algorithms Google uses to "rank sites" – i.e., whether you show up on page one or page one thousand of a search – is a big job in itself. Unless you are a small business person with great aptitude for internet marketing, and the time to devote to it, or have a family member who can do it well, you are at a considerable disadvantage.
On the other hand, if it makes you happy to accumulate "likes" on your Facebook business page, even if they are fake, then who am I, or the Associated Press, to dissuade you. Enjoy!

Time for another battle report for you from Battle Cry, with me taking the role as the Confederates, and Olivia commanding the Union forces. In the last battle Olivia led a glorious Union Victory, will the North's luck continue? or will the South turn the tables?
The Battle of Belmont was fought on November 7, 1861 in Mississippi County, Missouri. It was the first combat test in the American Civil War for Brig. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, the future Union Army general in chief and eventual U.S. president; Grant's troops in this battle were the "nucleus" of the Union Army of the Tennessee.
On November 6, Grant moved by riverboat from Cairo, Illinois, to attack the Confederate's small outpost near Belmont, Missouri across the Mississippi River from the Confederate stronghold at Columbus, Kentucky. He landed his men on the Missouri side and marched to Belmont. Grant's troops overran the surprised Confederate camp and destroyed it. However, the scattered Confederate forces quickly reorganized and were reinforced from Columbus. They then counterattacked, supported by heavy artillery fire from across the river. Grant retreated to his riverboats and took his men to Paducah, Kentucky. The battle was relatively unimportant, but with little happening elsewhere at the time, it received considerable attention in the press.
At 8:30 a.m. on November 7, Grant's force disembarked at Hunter's Farm, 3 miles north of Belmont, out of range of the six Confederate batteries at Columbus. (The Columbus heavy water batteries featured 10-inch Columbiads and 11-inch howitzers and one gun, the "Lady Polk", was the largest in the Confederacy, a 128-pounder Whitworth rifle.) He marched his men south on the single road, clearing the obstructions of fallen timber that formed an abatis. A mile away from Belmont, they formed a battle line in a corn field. The line consisted of the 22nd Illinois Infantry, 7th Iowa Infantry, 31st Illinois Infantry, 30th Illinois Infantry, and 27th Illinois Infantry, intermixed with a company of cavalry. The Confederate battle line, on a low ridge northwest of Belmont, from north to south, was made up of the 12th Tennessee Infantry, 13th Arkansas Infantry, 22nd Tennessee Infantry, 21st Tennessee Infantry, and 13th Tennessee Infantry.
Grant's attack drove in the Confederate skirmish line and for the remainder of the morning, both armies, consisting of green recruits, advanced and fell back repeatedly. By 2 p.m., the fighting became one-sided as Pillow's line began to collapse, withdrawing toward Camp Johnston. The orderly retreat began to panic when four Federal field pieces opened up on the retreating soldiers. A volley from the 31st Illinois killed dozens of Confederates, and the Union soldiers attacked from three sides and surged into the camp. The Confederates abandoned their colours and their artillery, and ran towards the river, attempting to escape. Grant was constantly at the front, leading his men. His horse was shot from under him, but he mounted an aide's horse and continued to lead.
Grant's inexperienced soldiers became, in his own words, "demoralized from their victory." Brig. Gen. McClernand walked to the centre of the camp, which now flew the Stars and Stripes, and asked for three cheers. A bizarre, carnival-like atmosphere prevailed upon the troops, carried away by the joy of their victory, having captured several hundred prisoners and the camp. To regain control of his men, who were plundering and partying, Grant ordered the camp set on fire. In the confusion and blinding smoke, wounded Confederate soldiers in some of the tents were accidentally burned to death, causing returning Confederates to believe the prisoners had been deliberately murdered.
The Federals began to march back to their transports, taking with them two captured guns and 106 prisoners. They were suddenly attacked by Confederate reinforcements brought over on the transports Prince and Charm who threatened to cut off Grant's retreat. These were the men of the 15th Tennessee Infantry, the 11th Louisiana Infantry, and mixed infantry under Pillow and Col. Benjamin F. Cheatham. As the Union men turned to face the Confederate reinforcements, the cannon "Lady Polk" fired into their ranks from Columbus and numerous other Confederate guns opened fire. The Union gunboats exchanged in a battle with the Confederate batteries. Grant said, "Well, we must cut our way out as we cut our way in."
When Grant reached the landing, he learned that one Union regiment was unaccounted for. Grant galloped back to look for it, but found only Confederate soldiers moving in his direction. He spun his horse and raced for the river, but saw that the riverboat captains had already ordered the mooring lines cast off. Grant wrote in his memoirs, "The captain of the boat that had just pushed out recognized me and ordered the engineer not to start the engine: he then had a plank run out for me. My horse seemed to take in the situation. He put his fore feet over the bank without hesitation or urging, and, with his hind feet well under him, slid down the bank and trotted on board." While the riverboats were returning the missing Illinois regiment was seen marching upriver and the men were taken aboard
The Confederates viewed Belmont as a Southern victory, since Grant had staged a demonstration and been driven off. Union losses were 607 (120 dead, 383 wounded, and 104 captured or missing). Confederate casualties were slightly higher at 641 (105 killed, 419 wounded, 106 captured, and 11 missing). A noteworthy result of the battle was the combat and large unit command experience Grant gained. It also gave President Abraham Lincoln, who was desperate for his armies to attack the Confederates somewhere, a positive impression of Grant
Lets see how it went on the tabletop.......
Olivia and the Union will get 5 command cards, whilst my Confederate forces will only get a hand size of 3, so this will provide Olivia more options then me in battle. Victory is first to 6 flags, and all Infantry are considered Green for the battle.
Olivia played a scout on her right flank, and finished off a battered unit giving her the final flag for victory.
Union Victory 6-4!
That was a hard fought battle, a true slug fest, I felt the difference by having a smaller hand of cards, which of course limited where I could respond. A well played game that could swung either way but in the end a well earned Union victory, well done Olivia

Multiplex chain PVR Limited's consolidated net profit grew 127% at Rs 31.6 crore for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 as against of Rs 13.9 crores in the same period last year.
The company's consolidated revenues for quarter stood at Rs 421.2 crore as compared to Rs 338.8 crores during the corresponding period of last year, up 24%. Consolidated EBITDA for the quarter was Rs 84 crores (EBITDA Margin 19.9%) as against Rs 51.4 crores (EBITDA Margin 15.2%) in the same period last year, up by 63%.
PVR's strong financial and operational performance in the quarter comes at the back of successful performance of films like Bang Bang, Haider, Happy New Year and PK at box office.
The overall footfalls increased by 12% to 16 mn in the quarter while average ticket prices rose by 5% as against same period last year. On a like-to-like property basis, the footfalls grew by three%, bucking the trend in the preceding quarters, where footfalls on like-to-like property basis saw a dip.
The multiplex chain's food and beverage revenues showed a strong growth of 35% (Rs 98.78 crore) over corresponding quarter of previous year driven by increase in average spend per person of 23%, highest growth in PVR history. Sponsorship revenues grew by 28% to Rs 53.85 crore.
Ajay Bijli, Chairman cum Managing Director, PVR Ltd said "Revenues and profitability in the quarter has shown a robust growth over the same period last year. We were able to leverage the strong box office across a growing cinema network.
While the film slate varies from quarter-to-quarter, our growing circuit of high quality cinemas and our company-wide emphasis on customer service excellence remain critical factors in our ability to generate positive operating results over the long-term. We have maintained the position as the leading multiplex player in India and soon will pass the 500 screens mark in next few months.
During the first 10 months PVR added 41 screens across various cities and currently operates a network of 462 screens spread over 104 properties in 44 cities across the country.
The company continues its aggressive expansion plans and intends to add another 21 screens in the current quarter which will take the total screen count to 483 screens by end of March 31, 2015.

Increase Block (dsr) = 2+energy/10 Increase party DSR. Cost: 10AG
Increase Health = 16+energy/10 Increase party stamina. Cost: 10AG
Ignore Defence (%) = Energy/100 Increase the chance to ignore target defence (Doesn't apply to your party). Cost: 10AG. Needs 400 energy to learn the skill.

- Beast Uppercut (Holy Storm Claw) Skill hits four times. Decreases defence (debuff) on target. Range: 2
- Phoenix Shot (Phoenix Soul Star) Skill attacks four times, hits multiple targets in front of RF. Decreases defence success rate (debuff) on target. Range: 4

NOTE: Be aware that RF can drop his cape when having a PK status.
