10 blue chips for a 5-year investment outlook
Long-term investors should focus on high-quality companies with long histories of dividend increases.
By Kelley Wright, Investment Quality Trends
For the most part, our cash needs are met by a paycheck -- until you no longer have one. At that point you will need a pool of capital and a stream of income from that capital to meet your needs. That's why we invest -- to build capital and income to meet or augment current and/or future cash needs.
Our preferred strategy is through buying shares of very high-quality companies with long histories of dividend payments and dividend increases. Why? Because dividends represent the most basic and fundamental measure of return on investment.
Besides high quality and a long history of dividend payments and dividend increases, what is ultimately of most importance is that the shares be purchased when they offer good value.
Good value by our definition is a repetitive area of high dividend yield, where past price declines have halted and the stock stabilizes, then reverses course and begins to move higher.
Thus, our primary purpose is to assist investors in growing their capital and income base from which to derive cash for their current and future needs.
The Timely Ten, therefore, is not just another "best of, right now" list. It is our reasoned expectation based on our methods and experience for what we believe will perform best over the next five years.
Do we believe that all 10 will go up simultaneously or immediately? Of course not. Our four-plus decades of research and experience, however, lead us to believe that these stocks, purchased at current Undervalued levels, are well positioned for both growth of capital and income.
The Timely Ten consists of undervalued stocks that generally have a S&P dividend & earnings quality rating of A- or better, show exemplary long-term dividend growth, have a price-to-earnings ratio of 15 or less and technical characteristics that suggests the potential for imminent capital appreciation.
Our latest Timely Ten selections are:
Chevron (CVX) -- yielding 3.3%
CVS Caremark (CVS) -- yielding 1.5%
Exxon Mobil (XOM) -- yielding 2.8%
Air Products & Chemicals (APD) -- yielding 3.1%
Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) -- yielding 2.4%
PepsiCo (PEP) -- yielding 2.7%
Walgreens (WAG) -- yielding 2.2%
ConocoPhillips (COP) -- yielding 4.3%
Baxter International (BAX) -- yielding 2.8%
Reliance Steel (RS) -- yielding 1.8%
More from TheStockAdvisors.com
On 6/15/12 I put together about 20 stocks which, with a few substitutions since, have returned 28.5% compared to the S&P's 26.5% (including dividends) that offer a buy-and-hold portfolio with 2-5% dividend yields [ABT temporarily (?) low]:
Every stock has made a gain of 3.6% to 45.5% since 6/15 and I expect that 10 years from now they will, as a group, outdo the market as good-divdend blue chips consistently have.
We invest in Companies to make money or a decent return on Investment..ROI.
Although somewhat concious of a Company's operation..
I am not going to let that be our only guidepost..
As a shareowner you can write or protest directly to Investor Relations or further.
If more serious, you can mount a Campaign to be brought up at Shareholders Meeting..
Or have it also put on the Annual Ballot.
You as an individual, do have options, along with letting your conscience be YOUR GUIDE.
Chain pharmacies like CVS & Walgreens owe massive amounts in credit for sprawling across the nation in order to wipe out all other competitors. They are pariah, not good businesses.
Pretty sure any list containing: Exxon Mobil (what global warming?), Wal-Mart- the killer of every Main Street and indigenous enterprise in America- soon the world, and PepsiCo- rotting America one soft drink at a time... is shallow, not listing "great" American businesses. The reality is-- if we could get rid of the losers on this list, we'd get a better part of the nation's economy back.

The dollar added to earlier losses after the softer ISM and construction spending outcomes, taking EUR-USD to N.Y. session highs of 1.2625. The pairing later triggered buy-stops over 1.2630, the overnight high, and moved to intra day highs of 1.2640 before pulling back. New offers are seen from 1.2650 now, though as equities stay weak, and yields lower, further pre-ECB short covering may be waiting in the wings. Read More ►

Investigators say a man was intoxicated and behind the wheel of a boat, causing the death of Savannah woman last Summer.
Joseph Webb was arrested by Georgia Department of Natural Resources and booked into Bryan County Jail in connection with the death of Shana Crozier.
That's after he was indicted on homicide by vessel charges.
Crozier, age 25, was killed after hitting her head on a train trestle during a boating trip on the Ogeechee River near Kings Ferry last August.
Investigators say Webb was driving his boat at a high rate of speed and was drunk at the time of the crash.
Georgia DNR investigators say the area Crozier hit her head was very narrow and Webb didn't reduce his speed through the restricted area.
They say there was a 1/2 mile of visibility at the time of the accident and he could have seen a problem coming if he was sober.
Webb was indicted by a Bryan County Grand Jury in March, but didn't show up to his arraignment hearing. He was arrested Wednesday and taken to Bryan County Jail
Webb will stay in jail until his next arraignment date, April 23rd.

The Oxford Symposium is an international, residential conference limited to around twenty-five invited members. Oxford Symposium members are experienced practitioners, researchers and theorists worldwide working at the leading edge of School-Based Family Counseling. With its origins in a synthesis of School Counseling and Family Counseling, School-Based Family Counseling has a multi-systems approach designed to promote academic success and personal growth in children and families. The objective of the Symposium is to make visible the "invisible college" of international experts in School-Based Family Counseling and to provide opportunity for information exchange, co-operation and collegial networking.
Symposium Members come from diverse professional disciplines and include: counselor educators, social workers, school administrators, counselors and principals, psychologists, family therapists, physicians, psychiatrists, experts in counseling theory and practitioners in social psychology, public policy and the law.
The international college of Oxford Symposium members now includes representatives from Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, Hong Kong, Israel, Lebanon, Macau, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The 2013 Oxford Symposium in School-Based Family Counseling is an intimate residential think-tank with the number of members kept small enough to promote cohesion and a high level of participation.
Symposium Members may present or co-present a formal paper (45 minute presentation), either individually or jointly or as part of a panel: between fifteen and nineteen presentation slots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Papers may be presented on any aspect of School-Based Family Counseling, including: interventions, aspects of theory, program descriptions and outcome research, applications of the model to the reduction of school and family violence, and individual case studies. Symposium presenters may write a formal paper, either ahead of the conference or subsequently, and may elect to submit the paper to the editorial board of the International Journal of School-Based Family Counseling.
At the Oxford Symposium, more than half of the participants are returning Symposium members. Returning members make for cohesion in the group, greater enjoyment of the conference (both professional and personal) and an ever greater sense of community within our worldwide network of stakeholders in School-Based Family Counseling. The success of the Oxford Symposium is further demonstrated by ongoing national and trans-national collaboration between Symposium Members in teaching and research.
The conference program begins on the Sunday afternoon and ends after lunch on the Friday and is organized along similar lines each year. The proceedings are held in English.
2013 Oxford Symposium Members and their Guests will live in residence at Brasenose College and will share all meals together in the recently refurbished sixteenth century Great Hall. Located at the heart of the mediaeval city of Oxford, adjacent to the Bodleian Library and Sheldonian Theatre, Brasenose was founded in 1509 and is one of the oldest of Oxford University's thirty-nine colleges.
During the mornings Symposium Members will meet in session for presentations and discussion while Guests will attend a specially arranged morning cultural program. During the afternoons Members and Guests will together tour selected Oxford colleges and institutions; the Symposium cultural program will include private visits to parts of colleges not normally accessible to the public as well as a visit to one of the spectacular English country houses in the vicinity.
The Oxford Symposium in School-Based Family Counseling contracts with Brasenose College for the provision of conference facilities and accommodations.
Symposium Members and their Guests will reside in rooms vacated for the summer by Brasenose undergraduates. The eighteenth century rooms in Old Quad are bright and well furnished with some period features and antique pieces. Some twin-bedded rooms are available for couples in New Quad. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms, the majority with bath and shower. Internet connection is available.
Lecture Room 11 in New Quad is reserved for use by the Symposium. This lovely, light, oak-paneled Victorian room has high ceilings and large stone-mullioned, leaded-light windows affording pleasant views across the quad. A range of AV facilities is available to Symposium presenters wishing to use Powerpoint, OHP slides or video.
The cost of attending the 2013 Oxford Symposium in School-Based Family Counseling is:
Group DiscountSymposium members (group of two or more, individual rooms) $400 discount for the second and each subsequent memberShared Room Discount
$100 discount per shared room
Symposium registration rates cover the cost of the Symposium for Members and accommodation and all meals (including wines) and cultural program for Members and Guests; Symposium Members and Guests pay their own travel expenses; registrants are allocated places on a first-come, first-served basis; until the registration deposit has been paid we are unable to hold a registrant place as confirmed and may continue to issue invitations to the Symposium and allocate an unconfirmed place to another registrant.
Symposium Members make an initial deposit of $495 at the time registration is confirmed:
Registration payments for guests of Symposium members are due in full by May 15th.
For further information or if you would like to recommend a colleague to the invitees' list, please email the conference coordinator, Peter Geiger, LMFT, at email@example.com.
Authors may submit material for either or both the online International Journal for School-Based Family Counseling and the Oxford Symposium in School-Based Family Counseling.
Submissions to the Oxford Symposium in School-Based Family Counseling
Papers and articles not necessarily fully meeting the criteria for submissions to the International Journal for School-Based Family Counseling but having theoretical or clinical merit may be presented at the Oxford Symposium in School-Based Family Counseling. Oxford Symposium presenters may subsequently be invited by the editorial board of the International Journal to revise their material for submission to the Journal.
Submissions to the International Journal for School-Based Family Counseling
Papers and articles may be submitted at any time by email attachment (MS Word document) to firstname.lastname@example.com. Submissions are subject to review by the Editorial Board, an international group of scholars, educators and clinical practitioners. The Editorial Board will subject submissions to a blind review (without disclosure of the author's identity to the reviewers) based on the following criteria:
Detailed guidelines for submissions to the International Journal for School-Based Family Counseling >>

I use this product everyday. It looks natural. It's the perfect shade, the brushes and mini tweezers are adorable.
I first bought this product about a year ago and didn't like it because i thought it made my brows look too dark and thick and ended up retuning it. Since then I've had my brows shaped and i started using this product again because my sister uses it. I don't use the brushes that come with it though (I use MAC's 266). I wish Benefit sold the wax separate cuz that's what i mainly use.
Rip off! This is so not worth spending $30 on. I've had mines for several years. I'm in the market looking for a really good brow filler (tried a ton of them!). But this one is the very least of my favorites. The powder isn't too bad, but nothing to go ga-ga over!!!! It's the only thing I really used from this kit. As for the wax. Ugh! I had little pimples in my brows and it doesn't set very well. It leaves your brows looking strange and goopy and/or a sticky mess. Also, the tiny tweezers and angle brush it comes I couldn't utilize because it was so small. If I did decided to use just the powder, I used MAC's 208 brush. Anyway, I definitely would NOT repurchase nor recommended this to anyone.
Just thought I'd give a review on this to save someone their 30 bucks if considering purchasing this brow filler!
This is one of the best value-for-money products I've ever bought. Here's how I use it: I dip my Smashbox brow brush once into the wax, then once into the powder. That's usually enough to define one brow. Using it this way prevents the unnatural, lacquered/shiny look other reviewers have mentioned. It's also lasted me the better part of two years and is still going strong. Color is perfect for my dark brows. One star off because the brushes and tweezers are pretty useless... otherwise this is a rockin' product.
I stopped using this product two years ago because I've just found better products to fill in my brows. This isn't a bad product - the wax-powder combination is a good idea. But the color was always a little too brown for me - I have black, Asian hair - and it looked too unnatural in certain lights. The wax also got kind of dirty and weirdly-textured while there was still at least half of the powder left.
The mini-brushes and mini-tweezers are a cute idea, but who really tweezes their eyebrows on the go? Not me. The brushes are functional and the packaging cute enough and portable.
But like I said, I've moved on. I've used Smashbox's Brow Tech, Chanel's Sculpting Brow Pencil, Maybelline's Expert Eyes, and Shiseido's Eyebrow Pencil, and I've finally settled on MAC's pencil in Spiked. Perhaps the wax/powder formulas just aren't for me. I definitely think brows should look natural, and if you're very light-handed with a pencil (blending afterwards), it'll look more natural and last longer than powder. At least that's my experience.
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've been using this for years and still have the same package I purchased 2 years ago. This stuff lasts forever, even with daily use. I stopped using the waxy side of it but continue to use the powder form. That's the reason for the 3 stars. The waxy side would create pimples or zits along my brown line. After this product is through I will not buy another one because I plan on buying a drugstore eyeshadow for filling in my eyebrows.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've been using this product on and off again for years, but I keep going back to it. I am attracted to the simplicity of a pencil, but I haven't yet found one that looks as natural as Brow-Zing.
*** new edit*** parabens lots of it! Won't use it now!
More reviews by FiGHTthaFEELiN
This looks really nice when you first apply it with the wax and then the powder filler but if you look upclose it gives your brows a sort of shine...a little distracting when you take pictures because it looks like you highlighted your brows. The dark shade looks natural with my dark hair but with sunlight it looks lighter and doesnt match so well
this works pretty good, it last me pretty much all day. the color is natural if u use the powder to blend it out right and the wax sets/shapes it perfectly.
as w/ most things that come w/ teeny tiny cute/but not practical brushes i'd use something w/ a longer handle tho for more control tho they're not terribly bad.
the mini tweezers are the worst tho.

Brows are more important than curing world famine. This kit will bring you more delight than possibly imaginable.

You can make your own heating pad with just a bit of cloth and dried beans. Yup, beans.
Here's what you do:
1. Cut an old flannel shirt, jammies or drawers into an (approximately) 11" x 10" section–or two 11" x 5" sections. Fold and pin the large section in half–wrong sides together OR pin the two sections wrong sides together.
2. Make a 'pillow' by sewing closed the open edges (with a sewing machine or by hand) leaving about a two inch opening on one side.
3. Turn pillow inside right.
4. At the opening, fill the pillow with dried beans. Any kind will do–I'd suggest the cheapest small to mid-sized beans you can find.
5. Hand sew the opening closed.
To use as a heating pad, toss your bean bag in the microwave for about a minute. Check the heat. If it's warm enough, use it. If not, give the bag a shake and put it back in for 30 seconds. Repeat every 30 seconds as needed.
You can make your heating pad any size you want, but I found this size uses one typical bag of beans just perfectly. Also, if you don't want to use beans, you could try rice as well. And, if you don't have anything flannel in the house, use an old sweat shirt or even an old towel or washcloth (which you wouldn't even have to cut). It would be a great accompaniment to your shapeable ice pack!

The idea is that you retry the failed update until it is successful. As a result, the same update can be executed several times! If the update increments a counter the counter value gets incorrect. Here we come to the main point of this post: all your updates should be idempotent (i.e. repeated update applications have the same effect as one). Designing updates to be idempotent is the standard discipline to cope with repeated updates. Read great articles ☞ Life beyond Distributed Transactions: an Apostate's Opinion (pdf) and ☞ Building on Quicksand by Pat Helland that stress the importance of idempotent updates in highly scalable systems.

Utah basketball: Brandon Taylor's heart outgrows his frame
By Tony Jones
The Salt Lake TribuneFirst published Dec 17 2013 09:10AM
Brandon Taylor could have sulked. He could have pouted. Utah's sophomore guard easily could have disrupted team chemistry.
As the player most affected by Delon Wright's rise to stardom, Taylor has remade himself when he could've been relegated to the role of a backup. Taylor was Larry Krystkowiak's starter at point guard last season, with a large percentage of the Utes' possessions beginning in his hands.
He plays more at the shooting guard spot this season, despite standing only 5-foot-8. He and Wright share the playmaking duties, but a lot of Taylor's time is spent running off screens and spotting up for 3-pointers.
"We're winning," Taylor said. "Who would I be to complain? Everyone can see how talented Delon is and how good he is with the ball. I just want to win games, and what we're doing right now is working. I mean, we're 9-1."
Taylor averages 10.8 points and 4.2 assists per game. He plays 30 minutes a night, and that is a testament to his willingness to change. There aren't many sub-6-foot guards in college basketball. But Taylor's made himself an important player in Krystkowiak's rotation, even when his minutes could have been affected significantly by Wright's emergence.
He did this by becoming Utah's best shooter. He consistently spreads the floor with his 3-point range, whether off pick-and-rolls or spotting up.
Taylor also emerged as a vocal leader. Wright and Jordan Loveridge — Utah's two best players — both are quiet and reserved by nature. Taylor has filled that void. He's respected by his peers and often can be seen exhorting his teammates and directing them on the court. He's easily the most outwardly brash player on the roster and carries himself with swagger and confidence that belies his spindly frame.
Most importantly, Taylor has become the Utes' best perimeter defender. He may be short in stature, but he's strong and athletic. Krystkowiak said he's the hardest player on his team for opponents to set a screen on. He gets low and moves his feet better than any Utah player.
"There's a blueprint, a mental aspect to defense," Krystkowiak said. "Brandon knows the rotations and where he needs to be. Having a year of knowledge under his belt has been a key. He's constantly communicating, and he does a nice job being down in his stance."
Cedric Martin was one of the best defenders in the Pac-12 last season. With his departure, Krystkowiak needed someone to fill that void, and Taylor's been the guy to do it. Taylor was the primary defender on Cougars star Tyler Haws in Utah's win over BYU on Saturday. He chased Haws through screens and gave the BYU junior as little room to breathe as possible when the Cougars gave their star the ball. The Utes quickly came with a double team when Haws tried to take Taylor into the post to exploit his lack of size.
It worked as well as Krystkowiak and Utah's coaching staff could've drawn it up. Haws went 3 for 11 from the field in 34 minutes. He scored 14 points by getting himself to the free-throw line nine times. Haws was held nine points below his season average and never was a real factor.
"He's really done a lot for this team," Loveridge said. "He's a leader out there, and he's our best shooter. He helps handle the ball, and he's a great defender. We need him out there."

Hi Emery, same here. I regularly attend the church with my wife and my daughter. Church has become a family already.
Hey Emery,
I am largely in the same boat as you. I still attend church with my wife. There are still people within the church that I consider friends, but I have been working on developing social connections outside of church. It helps.
I'm a new member. I'm wondering if anyone remembers "Southern Missionary College" and the self-supporting Little Creek Academy? I endured those educational institutions from 1966-1972. Felt a need to be re-educated by state universities. Am immersed in science, evolution, and working with those who have left religion. It's great to know this community exists and to be a member!

Glowing …
It's the first Monday of May and that makes it PhotoLyricMonday. The song this week is a favourite of mine. It's one that just makes me smile whenever I hear it.
The photo for this one was taken inLondon on an evening walk with two wonderful friends. The blurriness was intentional as my old camera was useless at night ( I just got a Sony NEX-5N) but the bokeh effect is perfect for the lyric this week. As for editing, I boosted the saturation and added a black vignette around the edges to block out distracting elements and to bring the focus to the lights of the City. If you look in the background you'll see 'Big Ben'.
As for the song that puts the lyric in PhotoLyric, it comes from Coldplay. This is a band whose music I've always appreciated, even if I've never quite fallen in love with it. However, this song comes from an album that I do love and it's the first and only Cold Play album that I own.
I think everyone already has a pretty formed opinion on Coldplay that runs the whole range of possibilities so I think no matter your feelings on the matter, give it a listen and judge it on its own merits Do you know what song it is? head over to PhotosLyrics.com to listen and see more PhotoLyricMonday posts.
Going Down
It's time for another PhotoLyricMonday and the lyric for this one comes from the talented John Mayer.
This photo was taken in the Westminster Tube Station. It was fairly quiet in this part of the station so I was able to grab this photo on the empty down escalator. It was a bit dim in there as I remember and I processed this one to be dark and moody to create a bit of atmosphere as well as to fit with the song this week.
John Mayer is a wonderful song writer and his songs carry a lot of emotion at times. This one is one of those. Admittedly, it's not the most uplifting tune but it's a beautiful one and that counts for something (in my defence there's always DanceFriday which is beyond uplifting).
I first heard this song in 2006 and I've loved it ever since. It still hasn't gotten old for me. Know what it is?
That Sense…
It's week 3 and I think this week I've got something really special. Actually, I don't think I do, I know I do.
First, the photo. This was snapped on a visit to Slough in England. I layered it with textures in photoshop to give it a feel that I thought fit with the way the song this week moved me. Plus the old look of it fits right in with the poor resolution from my poor little Nikon coolpix point and shoot camera that took these and the other photos so far. I say … use what you got to make the art you want.
But enough about that, on to the lyric and the song and it's a big one. Brace yourselves because this band Seasfire is truly something special. They're from Bristol and this song is a game changer. When I first heard it about 4 weeks ago I said to myself, they put more than time and talent into this track, they put a bit of their souls and that is when music really reaches another level. It's haunting, it's old, there's a rawness and it's full of emotion. In other words, it's perfect. Remember this name, Seasfire. They are legit and they have something to share with the world.
Alrighty, you may already know this band and know this song, but if you don't you are in for a treat. Trust me.
Remember, you can follow my PhotosLyrics Pinterest boards for pics of the PhotosLyrics bands and I'm slowly gathering a playlist of every week. This project is slow going, only once a week but what a week it's going to be if you take some time out to get to know Seasfire.
Yup, I think that's what we should do this week and you can start by checking out their facebook band page and their tumblr and their twitter … can you tell I like this band?
Have an amazing week everyone and see you on Friday for the start of DanceFridays!

PhotosLyrics week 2 - The City is My Church
Another week, another photo and lyric combination. We're into week 2 and this time, we're in Chicago. This photo was taken about 2 years ago on what might have been the most chilly spring break trip ever! But it was well worth it, beautiful city. I spent so much time with friends just walking around and taking it all in and of course the St. Patricks day parade was pretty cool too. I made this sepia toned to add a bit of depth and moodiness because I think Chicago is like that, old and beautiful with lots of stories to tell.
On to the lyric – the first time I heard this track the first words I understood were,The city is my church and I thought to myself, 'hmm hold on, this is awesome.' I had to go back and give it another listen and I loved it. The vocals are pretty soft over a pretty dominating musical accompaniment so it's hard to catch all the lyrics the first time round … or even the second time really. It's got a definite 80′s sound going for it and if you don't know what it is yet or who M83 is, then you need to. I promise the big sound of the track will make you want to put your hands in the air and just have a carefree dance party for the duration. It was a hit in 2011 so you probably know it, but even so … it's such a treat.
So, here we go this week. Chicago and M83.
How about we all pick a city we're unfamiliar with and learn one thing about it?
I think I'll go with …. Oslo. Have a wonderful week!
Remember check over on Pinterest if you're on there for the PhotosLyrics boards.

No one enjoys knocking England more than the English, but – modesty and self-deprecation aside – it's a great place to visit or explore, and whether you're a resident or tourist the country retains a boundless capacity to surprise, charm and excite. England has always had a history and heritage to be proud of, and a glorious regional diversity – from coast to hills, festivals to foodstuff – with few parallels. But for all the glories of the past, in recent times it's had an injection of life that makes it as thrilling a destination as any in Europe.
As more and more people choose to holiday at home, it's worth recalling just how much England has changed in the last two decades for locals and visitors alike. Who could have predicted city breaks and shopping sprees in Leeds and Bristol, or the all-conquering march of music and arts festivals, or that camping would become cool? Accommodation and food in particular, the two essentials on any trip, were once a lottery, with many English hotels and restaurants seemingly intent on removing hospitality from the hospitality industry. Not any more. In boutique B&Bs, designer hotels and yurt-festooned campsites, there's an embarrassment of rich beds for the night, while an ever-expanding choice of real English food and drink – locally sourced and championed in cafés, restaurants and pubs, at food festivals and farmers' markets – challenges every lazy stereotype.
The English also do heritage amazingly well. There are first-class museums all over the country (many of them free), while what's left of England's green and pleasant land is protected with great passion and skill. Indeed, ask an English person to define their country in terms of what's worth seeing and you're most likely to have your attention drawn to the golden rural past. The classic images are found in every brochure – the village green, the duckpond, the country lane and the farmyard. And it's true that it's impossible to overstate the bucolic attractions of the various English regions, from Cornwall to the Lake District, or the delights they provide – from walkers' trails and prehistoric stone circles to traditional pubs and obscure festivals. But despite celebrating their rural heritage, the modern-day English have an ambivalent attitude towards "the countryside". Farming today forms only a tiny proportion of the national income and there's a real dislocation between the population of the burgeoning towns and suburbs and the small, struggling rural communities.
So perhaps the heart of England is found in its towns and cities instead? Many, it's true, have a restless energy and a talent for reinvention. So for every person who wants to stand outside the gates of Buckingham Palace or visit the Houses of Parliament, there's another who makes a beeline for the latest show at Tate Modern, the cityscape of downtown Manchester or the revitalized Newcastle waterfront. Yet this flowering of urban civic pride is not a new phenomenon. In fact, it's been steady since the Industrial Revolution, and industry – and the Empire it inspired – has provided a framework for much of what you'll see as you travel around. Virtually every English town bears a mark of former wealth and power, whether it be a magnificent Gothic cathedral financed from a monarch's treasury, a parish church funded by the tycoons of the medieval wool trade, or a triumphalist civic building raised on the back of the slave and sugar trades. In the south of England you'll find old dockyards from which the navy patrolled the oceans, while in the north there are mills that employed entire town populations. England's museums and galleries – several of them ranking among the world's finest – are full of treasures trawled from its imperial conquests. And in their grandiose stuccoed terraces and wide esplanades, the old seaside resorts bear testimony to the heyday of English holiday towns, at one time as fashionable as any European spa.Read More
Only in England
Only in England
However long you spend in England, you'll never figure out its inhabitants. The famous English reserve, sarcasm and sense of humour, the belief that a cup of tea is a universal panacea, the all-consuming obsession with weather – all form a nigh-on impenetrable barrier to the English soul. So we've come up with a list of unique places and experiences that might help lift the lid on the national character. At the end, you may be no closer to knowing what the English are really like – but you'll have seen another side to the country than just Big Ben and Beefeaters.
A day at the seaside Blackpool. The quintessential coastal trip is to England's loudest, brashest and best resort, where the sun never sets on the rollercoasters, karaoke bars and candy-floss kiosks. Fake breasts and party wig optional.
A nice snack Melton Mowbray. France gives protected status to its champagne, Italy to its succulent ham from Parma, and England? Step forward the humble but heroic pork pie.
The Olimpick Games Chipping Campden. Never mind London 2012, what you really need from a world-class sports meet is rustic wrestling, shin-kicking contests and dancing around in Tudor dress.
Cerne Abbas Giant Dorchester. Flummoxed by the English love of Carry On films and tabloid double-entendres? A visit to see a large naked man carved into a Dorset hillside is in order.
On the pier Southwold. Arcade games on the traditional seaside pier get a makeover in Southwold's brilliantly inventive Under the Pier Show of handmade slots and simulators.
Full steam ahead Haworth. Time was, every right-thinking English boy a) had a thing for Jenny Agutter in The Railway Children and b) wanted to work on a steam railway. Here's where they get to indulge both passions.
Snowshill Manor The Cotswolds. Eyes glazing over at the fancy plates and Old Masters at stately home Number 32? Charles Paget Wade collected the stuff we really want to see, from beetles to boneshaker bikes.

wow, a personal phone call from Steve Jobs himself, that was cool.
any idea what his address is?
ha just kidding
that is pretty cool and im happy for the old dude
kinda makes sense if you think about it
cuz all the kids know how to not pay for music now lol
>>btw i need a new signature. im a few years behind on that now heh
So lucky! If I had won, and Steve called me I would've told him I was jailbroken! Of course, after I got the gift card.
He should have totally asked why the iPad wasn't more impressive and was missing a few common sense items.
I would have asked him for a refund because 10,000 in itunes stuff is not worth anything if I could download it for free.
I think he'll be giving out most if not A LOT of that gift card to family & friends.
if steve called me i'd b!tch him out about the ipad. and record the conversation.
Well, I'm happy for the guy. And I'm glad to see a Johnny Cash song was the 10 billionth song purchased, rather than some Black Eyed Peas garbage.
Nice song to pick for the winner. Also he gets the gift of tax on 10k.

FYI … a few of my TOONCES THE DRIVING CAT prints are now available in my Etsy shop. This was my DRIVE spoof from the "Saturday Night Live" art show last year. (My tumblrized copyright does NOT appear on the actual print.)
BTW … all NEW art happening this week!!

What do you get when you cross this classic SNL sketch with this totally rad film???
My "Toonces" piece for the secret/surprise Saturday Night Live show at Gallery 1988. Not even sure how to describe what illustration style I used here … kind of a mashup between modern CGI and really lame '80s movie computer animation (the glowing cliff scene at the bottom, etc.) which sorta fits for a DRIVE spoof. (If you haven't seen the film, you should!)
Incidentally, I am shocked SHOCKED out of my mind that no one did either of the first two ideas I was going to spoof for this show … I thought for sure someone would do the same thing, so I picked Toonces instead. But since we weren't allowed to share our artwork before the opening, it was a total surprise what anyone else did! I think I'll finish those ideas up to post here later just for fun.
Thanks again to Gallery 1988 for inviting me to be in this fun show and congrats on the new location! The SNL artwork will be up at their new space — 7308 Melrose Avenue, LA — until April 20th.

Poster #3 in my BOND. REDESIGNED BOND. portfolio project – FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE. This one is out now at the suggestion of Jeff who was the first person to note which one I should finish next. (Feel free to make your own requests in the comments field that I added.) This is one of the more surreal pieces of the pack … I think I was watching too much of the classic Avengers while working on it. :)
James Bond will return in MOONRAKER (the poster, that is) per Karen's request!
The master key for the whole work-in-progress project is here.

If you're starting out on two wheels then the Yamaha XV125 Virago V-twin is one of the best made little motorbikes you can choose. Reliable motor, solid chassis, nice low seat and wide `bars give a feeling of confident control on the machine. Later XVS125 models have an extra 3bhp in the V-twin motor and the bike is 4kgs lighter ...

The Yamaha TZR50 is an act of brilliant folly but tempting nevertheless. A screaming, old-school, supersports, 50cc sixteener, with all the bluster, mayhem, carnage, testosterone and manicness that implies. Being Japanese the Yamaha TZR50 is fairly durable too, though it can't match the performance of its European rivals.

The Rieju RS1 is a screaming, old-school, supersports, 50cc sixteener, with all the bluster, mayhem, carnage, testosterone and manicness that implies, but thankfully a whole lot cheaper than rivals like Aprilia and Cagiva. Yes it's Spanish and a little brittle, but it's also well-equipped, massively cool and impressively affordable.
124cc, 23bhp, 80mph, Insurance group 6
The cousin of the successful, 'mini 916' Cagiva Mito, the Cagiva Planet 125 takes its engine, running gear and chassis from the mad little sportsbike so it's got a good pedigree. It's also beautifully designed and knocks the socks off its competitors (largely scooters). Let's face it, which would you rather have?
49cc, 6bhp, 48mph, Insurance group 2
One of the coolest moped/trailie motorcycles on the block, the Aprilia RX50 is simple to de-restrict, looks and feels like a full size motorcycle and has a six-speed gearbox, so you can rev up and down outside the kebab shop all night long. The Aprilia RX50 is expensive, but if your parents are willing to spoil you than you'll be ...

Stop hating your skating.
There are plenty of skiers who don't want to end their skate session gasping for breath and puking on the side of the trail, but still want a boot that's responsive enough to be skied hard from time to time. The Rossignol X8 Skate Boot was made for the folks who are looking to have a decent amount of stiffness and power without the demanding requirements of a full-fledged race boot, and it delivers with a thermo-adjustable liner, soft-touch internal membrane, and Active Control heel support. These features all work with the Speed Lace Lock system to provide an extremely precise yet comfortable fit, ideal for a full day skate or quick post-work fitness laps.
The upper cuff replaces the carbon found in Rossi's highest-end boots with a plastic frame that's easier to ski without being a floppy pushover, and uses a more forgiving hook-and-loop ankle strap to keep your ankle in place without crushing it. Working alongside the fore- and aft-flex of the Mobile Cuff, this gives the X8 a forgiving flex without sacrificing the torsional stiffness that's so important for proper skating technique. The X8 is also designed to work with NNN bindings to allow a natural, efficient foot roll for smooth, easy skating.

I am not much of an XC skier but these seem to be pretty good boots. They are comfortable and perform very well for what I am looking to do.

Family and friends said their final goodbyes Wednesday to a beloved Montgomery County sheriff's deputy who was killed last weekend while on patrol.
Officials say 52-year-old David "Bubba" Johnson was driving his patrol car west on the Highway 41A bypass when he left the road and hit a tree around 11:20 p.m. Sunday.
News of Johnson's death sent shock waves through Clarksville's public safety community.
"I couldn't think of anybody more fitting for the job that he did. He loved what he did - loved what he did for the county, and what he did for the sheriff's office. We're very saddened today for him and his family," said Montgomery County Sheriff John Fuson.
Johnson was patrolling the area Sunday night like he had for the past 16 years when a neighbor heard the crash and called 911.
"It's an immensely sad day for public safety in Clarksville and Montgomery County," said Clarksville EMS Director Jimmy Edwards.
Edwards worked with Johnson early in his career when he served as a medical technician. By 1987, Johnson had made the move to officer for the Clarksville Police Department.
Clarksville Police Chief Al Ansley recalls going through the academy together.
"I guess the greatest compliment I could give Deputy Johnson was that if you needed him, you can guarantee he was there. I'm going to miss him. I was shocked when I heard the news. He was a great officer, great deputy, great servant to public safety," Ansley said.
Johnson's infectious laugh earned him the nickname "Barney Rubble," but when it came to law enforcement, he was a no-nonsense kind of guy.
"There's not much else you could do to serve public safety in a county other than to serve all three agencies, and Bubba did so very diligently," Fuson said.
And he'll perhaps be best remembered for his patience. Co-workers say they never saw him angry a day in his life.
"He loved what he did, and he just had that demeanor about him that made him well suited for what he did. He was well liked on both sides - both professionally and personally," Fuson said.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol said no drugs or alcohol were involved in the crash, and Johnson was wearing his seat belt. It appears to have been a terrible accident.
In lieu of flowers, his family is asking that people make a donation to the Clarksville Girls Softball Association, where Johnson helped coach a team for many years.

Al Iannazzone's post on Sports | Latest updates on Sulia
Amar'e Stoudemire moved well during the 4-on-4 (that featured Mike Bibby, Josh Harrellson, Bill Walker, Toney Douglas and Allan Houston). Whenever he comes back, Woodson said he hasn't given though to bringing Stoudemire off the bench and keep Carmelo Anthony as the starting power forward. "Absolutely not," Woodson said. "If he tells me he's ready to go we're going to move him back at the four spot. I've got to make sure that combination be successful and I think I can do that."

ALEXANDRIA, La. (BP) -- There was a period during the mid- to late 1990s when many Christians in America were caught up in the "What Would Jesus Do?" fad. Bracelets, T-shirts and a host of novelties were emblazoned with the recognizable initials "WWJD."
The trend was fueled by renewed interest in Charles Sheldon's 1896 book, "In His Steps," which was subtitled "What Would Jesus Do?" The book tells the story of a community that is transformed when citizens one by one begin to ask themselves "What would Jesus do?" before making any decision.
It seems that some Christians in America might need to revisit the 1990s WWJD fad; either that or they need a refresher course on what Jesus said.
Relevant magazine, a periodical that covers faith, culture and intentional living, reported on its website about two situations when restaurant patrons refused to tip wait-staff because they understood the waiter was homosexual. Notes were left instead of gratuity.
Relevant referenced a note left in a restaurant in Kansas: "'We cannot in good conscience tip you, for your homosexual lifestyle is an affront to GOD.' The note went on into some disgusting homosexual slurs, which we won't print here (one notable quote: '[Censored] do not share in the wealth of GOD, and you will not share in ours.')."
A couple in a New Jersey eatery, according to Relevant, left a note that said: "I'm sorry but I cannot tip because I don't agree with your lifestyle and how you live your life." Although the note writer did not indicate he or she was a Christian, it was assumed as much.
In both situations, numerous Christians who learned of the abhorrent actions stepped up to condemn the behavior and offer to compensate the waiters for the withheld tips.
The people who left derogatory notes instead of tips, if they are Christians, certainly need a primer on what Jesus said concerning interaction with fellow human beings.
One of the most famous teachings of Jesus is, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." A more modern way of saying it is, "Treat people the way you want them to treat you."
Jesus also said His followers were to "Love your neighbor as you love yourself."
If you really seek to apply Jesus' words about relating to people, you would treat people with dignity and respect. You would never deride them. You would also extend compassion, encouragement and appreciation, wouldn't you? And you would pray for them. After all, isn't that how you would want people to treat you?
In his book, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," leadership guru Stephen Covey articulated a principle rooted in Jesus' teachings on human interaction: "Seek first to understand, then to be understood."
Listening and seeking to empathize with a person, trying to understand them, is how you earn the right to be heard, or understood, according to Covey. Isn't that how you would want to be treated?
I'm not sure how the restaurant patrons "knew" their wait staff were leading homosexual lives. Perhaps they had a more intimate conservation than I've ever had with a waiter. Maybe the wait-persons were wearing buttons indicating their sexual preference. Whatever the case, the patrons' actions were wrong.
Jesus did not say to treat people the way we would like them to treat us, unless they were practicing homosexuality. He did not say to love our neighbors as we love ourselves, unless they are committing a sin.
Some will argue that telling homosexuals their behavior is a sin is not loving or not treating them the way would you would want to be treated. I disagree.
If I am doing something that is likely to result in harm to myself, I would want someone to point it out. I just wouldn't want them to poke me in the eye while doing it.
Jesus said we are to be light and salt to the culture where He has placed us. We must remember that when light is directed into the eyes of someone who is the dark, it will seem harsh. And when salt is applied to an open would, it burns.
The eternal truth that people are sinners separated from a holy God is, for many, a harsh truth that stings. However, the good news that Jesus came to be a sacrifice for sin and offers forgiveness truly is a soothing salve.
When we treat people with dignity and respect, offer compassion, encouragement and appreciation, seek to understand before seeking to be understood and pray for people, we might discover more people open to the Gospel message.
There is no way a person seeking to live out the teachings of Jesus would withhold a tip for good service or write a note absent of love if he or she thought a waiter was homosexual. A follower of Christ, attempting to apply His words concerning human interaction, would give a generous tip and then share the hope that is found only in the Gospel. That's not only WWJD, that's what Jesus said.

It's not the season's mid point, but it is the eve of the bye week. No time like the present for a "State of the Team address" from GM Phil Emery. He spoke to the media for the first time since Bourbonnais and over all is pleased- the team has played well and he says they feel good about their position 5 weeks in. He was quick to dispel any rumors that he and Lovie Smith have begun contract extension talks. "Where would we find time to do that?" He did say Lovie is focused on the team, he is focused on what they need to do to get closer to a championship. Emery did praise the head coach for a 4-1 start and is glad Smith is the one who will lead the Bears. "How we come and attack through this mid-part of the season is going to be key. And thats where I've been really impressed with Coach Smith. He takes great ownership of his players...he pushes the right buttons." The question moving forward is do they earn it each and every week so far that answer has been "yes".
Emery says his job is to evaluate his players and team. When asked about the sideline behavior of his quarterback that's earned national criticism, Emery says "I'm a Jay Cutler fan. I believe in what he's doing. It's the simple things. He's 9 and 1 in his last 10, 22 and 10- those are stats that say something at a key position for our franchise."
Speaking of key, the first year GM could not give high enough praise of Brandon Marshall- both on and off the field. "He speaks of professionalism". And the way Marshall leads challenges Emery "I need to continually raise my level". I may be new, but Marshall continues to impress me in the way he carries himself on and off the field. Clearly, I'm not the only one.
He also mentioned Brian Urlacher is the reason the defense is playing so well. #54 is the key communicator to making sure everyone is where they need to be on D. And he is getting better every game- closer to game
shape- which is where the Bears will need him to be for the final push.
Emery was questioned about the depth he added and whether he'll add more. He's always looking for players who will help the team take a step towards a championship- now. But the players he's brought in have fit in
nicely- maybe better than anticipated. Which is reason to be excited just 5 weeks in.
Everything's fun when you're winning: Israel Idonije pulled a rookie prank Tuesday night when the "rush men" went to dinner. Izzy had Mastro's Steakhouse deliver a more than 38,000 dollar dinner bill to a couple of rookie's- namely Shea McClellin. Shea said there was no moment of panic, just legit concern as to having to borrow some money from a veteran to try and pay the bill. He was confused how 10 guys could run a bill up that high. Izzy said that was the more funniest part- watching them try to figure out how they were going to pay it. After about 5 minutes they let them in on the joke. Ha! I love it. Building chemistry between the Veterans and the Rookies is a big deal and will be key when they come back from the bye and don't have another off weekend until 2013.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I was told LFH was one of the best elementary schools that Richmond Co. had to offer. I would advise you to apply to the magnet school. Parent involvement is only for some parents; tried to volunteer, but never receive a call/text//email back & I tried numerous times. Spanish program is good. Principal is a fake. Teachers get on to students for their disabilities even when they have medical diagnosis.
PCSers BEWARE! My kid's were lucky and had good teachers, but that was definitely the exception and not the rule. From yelling at students in the hallways to the "cheese-eating grin" they wear when they snap at you for not having a visitor's pass (despite the one you are clearly wearing on your shirt). I'm told this is the best Richmond County has to offer and that I'll probably have better luck in Columbia County...I guess we will see.
I had two daughters attend this school. It was a safe nurturing environment with good parental involvement. This is one of the best elementary schools in the area and the IB program will only make it better.
I have had a child at this school for two years now, and I am very impressed. I visited more than one school and interviewed staff when we were selecting a school, and this school stood out to me. It is small enough that the teachers and principal can and do learn everyone's name and take a personal interest in each student. The teachers I have known so far are dedicated, hard working, and eager to do what it takes to bring out the best in their students. This school was recently approved as an International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program, thanks to the leadership of the principal, the hard work of the teachers, and the support of parents. My child loves it there, and is thriving and learning. I think the quality of education at this school is better than the Great Schools rating reflects.
This is a great school with awesome faculty and staff. They encourage parents to be involved and appreciate any and all support parents have to offer. LFHE is a rare gem in Richmond County!
We pcs here in the middle of the year so that was a hardship for my daughter however the staff and her teachers made her feel welcome and had her loving to go to school again. Her teachers were very nice and brought her up to speed where she need to be for her grade level.This a great school and i hope it stay that way but more parents need to help out and not only come if their child is in trouble.
The teachers encourage and generally care about the students success
Great teachers that are concerned about the students and in touch with the parents. Principal is all about making the school the best and keeping parents and teachers involved
LFH is a caring and energetic school community. The front office staff are knowledgable and caring and truly help parents any way they can. The teachers are open and helpful with a true love for our kids. The atmosphere is welcoming and warm. Everyone from the Media specialists, custodians to teachers puts their best foot forward every day.
This school has a great curriculum but for the most part the teachers are mediocre to say the least and the principal is the worst one. They have no idea how to run a good school that's parent friendly and where the parent might feel welcomed at the least. That's a recipe for failure.
Excellent school - caring and concerned teachers, and the principal is the most enthusiastic and connected principal we have ever seen. She knows every child by name, and shares in their successes. Every teacher our son has had has been nothing short of wonderful! Highly recommended school.
The school is the Absolute Best!!!! The teachers are very very good, caring, patient, and loving. My daughter loved the school, kids, and teacher. I've never seen a principal at any other school more happy to be doing his/her job and so involved with the children like I did at Lake Forest Hills. I give this school a 100% A++++++. Highly recommended!
Before 2003 this was considered by most parents to be one of the best schools in Ricmond county. If you are able to get past the surface picture you will see a school heading down hill FAST!
This is an excellent school. My child learned so much. And her teachers and peers made her feel that there wasn't anything that she couldn't achieve if she put her mind to it and the effort. All she talks about is the things that she learned at Lake Hill Forest Elementary. The teachers were kind and helped her whenever she needed it. The other students helped her and were kind to her there wasn't any bullies. They all just worked together like one big famiy. She was in Mrs. Lewis class and she is excellent teacher. She goes above and beyond the call of duty. We need more teachers like. My daughter needed a little extra help in certain areas and had special needs in some and she was there ready, willing, and able. My hat goes off to Mrs. Lewis and her Aide. Thank you from Heather Barnett and Family.
