The state Department of Environmental Protection, which hosts the annual tournament at Island Beach State Park, announced the move Tuesday and said this year's event would be held May 18.
Officials did not give a reason as to why the change was made.
"This year marks the 23rd year of this popular family event," the DEP said in a statement. "While the tournament date has changed, it still offers an excellent opportunity to enjoy a fun day of fishing with family and friends."
The tournament is high profile in the state's fishing community. The individual who catches the overall largest fish each year wins the "Governor's Award" and has his or her name engraved on the Governor's Cup which is permanently displayed at the park. Fishing equipment is awarded to winners who catch the largest fish in a variety of species and age group categories.
Registration fees for the event – for those who pre-register, $15 for ages 18 and up and $5 for those 13 to 17 – go toward the purchase of specialized wheelchairs that provide the disabled and elderly beach access, surf fishing instruction programs and equipment, marine education and restoration efforts, and surf fishing access.
Anglers 12 and under can enter for free.

The game that never should have lasted this long just may have extended the Jazz's season into the playoffs.
The Jazz's battle with Dallas finally ended after 63 minutes of basketball and more than three hours of real time Monday night at EnergySolutions Arena.
It all added up to a 123-121 triple-overtime victory that registers as the Jazz's most meaningful win of the season — partly because it almost became their most devastating loss, potentially ending their season.
"They had chances; we had chances," said Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin.
The Jazz had more chances.
They held an eight-point lead and the ball in the last four minutes of regulation, but could not finish off the Mavs, and actually needed Paul Millsap's one-handed dunk of a rebound to force overtime.
They had the last two shots of the first overtime period, but Gordon Hayward's driving attempt missed, and so did Al Jefferson's tip.
They somehow had two possessions in the last 10 seconds of the second OT, but Millsap lost the ball and later rimmed out a halfcourt shot.
Eventually, the Jazz took control in the third OT, thanks to Devin Harris' 3-pointer and Jefferson's short jump shot.
In the end, the Jazz produced some staggering numbers: Jefferson's 28 points and 26 rebounds, the team's 12-of-28 shooting from 3-point range and 44 minutes played for newcomer DeMarre Carroll — more than Derrick Favors, Alec Burks and Enes Kanter combined.
"Forty-four minutes in crucial times," Carroll marveled. "God works in mysterious ways."
So do the Jazz, who have lost a four-overtime game at Atlanta and had successful tip-ins ruled too late against Sacramento and Phoenix in recent weeks, yet find themselves only half a game out of the Western Conference playoff chase — Houston and Phoenix are tied for eighth place — with four games to play.
"We're playing like we want to be in the playoffs," Jefferson said.
"This was the game to show how bad we want it," Millsap said.
"The great thing is this team continues to show character," Corbin said. "They're learning through situations. It's just great to see them compete and learn on the fly."
In the latest episode, that educational experience included some bizarre stuff, like Dallas' Delonte West shoving a finger into Hayward's ear in the second quarter. Hayward walked away, showing remarkable restraint. He spent the rest of the night trying to respond properly, finishing with 24 points.
Even so, winning this game took a lot of extra work, more so than actually necessary.
"It was frustrating," Hayward said.
Yet all that ultimately matters is that the Jazz set themselves to keep playing into May.

Belt-sander racers step aside: Your tools just aren't fast enough — and even if they were, they're way too ordinary-looking to compete in the Power Tool Drag Races. This year's competition was held in May in San Mateo, Calif., and the tools were anything but ordinary. To be fair, a few did look like belt sanders, but only one came out of the factory that way, and it — for reasons unknown — competed in black nylon panties.
In any other setting such a strangely attired machine would stand out, but not here, where tools had been chopped, combined, and modified into outlandish contraptions (1). If the bad guys in the Mad Max movies had been tradesmen, this is what their tools would have looked like.
Races began in traditional fashion, with a woman holding a pair of flags. When the flags came down, the tools took off (2), most tethered to long electrical cords, but some powered by compressed air (3) or gas engines. Smaller machines ran between 2x4s down 75-foot-long wooden tracks (4); larger ones were driven drag-strip style across pavement.
The most popular motors appeared to be angle grinders and pairs of angle grinders (electric or pneumatic), followed by circular saws and routers. A few of the smaller tools had rubber drive wheels, but the majority ran on saw blades (5), which got a better grip on the wooden track.
Twenty-plus years ago, a carpenter I was working with told a funny story during lunch break. He had been on the roof of a two-story building with a carpenter who was sanding with a brand-new belt-sander when a breaker blew. The carpenter who was sanding placed the tool on the roof and went down to reset the breaker. But he did one thing wrong — he forgot to unlock the trigger — so as soon as he flipped the breaker, the belt-sander flew off the roof and broke into pieces when it hit the driveway.
Belt-sander ski-jumping never caught on — but belt-sander racing and power-tool racing certainly did. A number of contests are held around the country, but the most extreme machines compete at the Power Tool Drag Races, held almost yearly in the San Francisco Bay Area. In recent years these races have been held at an auto wrecking yard in San Francisco; this year they were held at the Maker Faire in San Mateo, Calif.

This conversation is closed.
Solving gun violence in the US in today's insane political climate requires a solution that makes it painless for everyone.
First that this idea even needs to be broached in the first place is ridiculous especially given the lack of clarity in the second amendment (eg it does not specify types of arms so that should be handled by laws not as a "do what you will free for all").
That said it seems there are some major elements that would be necessary to reduce gun deaths in the US and there are some obfuscating interests embodied in the NRA that must be sidestepped or accommodated in the solution.
Four main areas of focus jump out to reduce gun deaths:
1) "mass killings" (included in this would be the 2 or 3 person shootings as well as as Newtown or Aurora types)
2) Accidental shootings
3) Non-owner shootings (eg the shooter is not the owner of the gun)
4) "black market" trading
Added to these I would say the parameter that makes gun control legislation difficult is gun manufacturer revenue stream protection using the second amendment as a shill.
So what are the necessary parameters to make something happen vs. the absurdity of what is going to happen over the next few months in Washington:
1) Figure out a way that shifting policy creates more revenue for gun manufacturers so they get the NRA on board
2) Make sure that guns cannot be used in public places or by someone other than their owner
The Idea - Mandatory gun locks and universal kill switches.
On locks, all responsible gun owners have gun safes. Why not move the lock to the gun's trigger mechanism either with a combination code or biometric locks. That would prevent unauthorized use of the gun by anyone but the owner.
On kill switches, in the same locking mechanism put a chip and actuator that freezes the locking mechanism mentioned above when it receives a certain modulated radio signal.
If mandatory then all existing guns will have to be refitted with the new bolt mechanism creating revenue streams for the gun manufacturers and on all new guns they can charge more creating more revenue.

Feb 11 2013: Lol! Bullying! You people amaze me... You think that bullies or the people that were bullied are the reason? Then why isn't every adult going on a killing spree and culling the herd?
The issue is not making things illegal, very few things are solved with making things illegal. Laws are for punishment and retribution. They cannot prevent a crime, only deter it. Children, especially male children, fight and bully. It's a pack mentality thing, it's hardwired into their brains. Great, punish them for something that they are biologically wired to do.
Maybe we should focus more on teaching parents to let kids fight and what morality is. While we are at it, mandatory drug tests for welfare users. But, why worry about the real issues?

Leisure is the exultation of the possible.
- Martin Buber
I've had some time recently that would correctly be categorized as vacation, time spent away from work. About a month ago, I decided somewhat spontaneously to wrap up the work week prematurely and take Friday off. My brother was arriving in town and I'd have more time to visit, not to mention tackle the innumerable tasks on my holiday to-do list. During his time in Syracuse, we enjoyed nice leisurely dinners and caught up on the latest news about work, family, and friends. I also went to the dentist, got my bangs trimmed, had lunch with coworkers, and wrote a blog entry - all on a "vacation day."
More recently, Syracuse University had its Green Days, the week when the University closes between the Christmas and New Year's holidays to save energy. Green Days are in their fourth year and are a much-loved occurrence among SU staff. The only Green Days wrinkle is that many of those who work in fundraising still head into the office, since the end of the calendar year is a busy time to accept, process, and acknowledge charitable contributions. Luckily, my role at Maxwell only required me to work a few hours a couple of days to ensure that incoming gifts would correctly be credited to the appropriate donors and year.
Which meant that I still had a lot of Green Days time to rest, relax, and celebrate leisure. Except, for the most part, I didn't. I tidied, I cleaned, and I tended to dry cleaning. I also shopped, got my hair done, and lunched and scrapbooked with friends. (These latter activities were decidedly more enjoyable and leisurely than the former.)
Perhaps, for some people, at least some of the time, leisure does not equate to the most accepted definition of the word. It is in this context that I selected this quote: "Leisure is the exultation of the possible." Maybe last month, what I needed was the opportunity of free time to take care of household tasks, run errands, and spend time with friends, and leisure allowed me the freedom to do so.
But I'm still left scratching my head. Were my hectic vacation and Green Days schedules symptoms of a busy time of year? Or a more systemic reflection of my personality? Am I capable of practicing leisure as it's commonly defined by others? Stay tuned as I reflect inward and explore these questions.

Los Angeles, CAUSA
Hometown: West Los Angeles, in Beverly Glen
July 27, 2010
I thought it might be an enjoyable way to be more social, and as I'm vegetarian (mostly, -I also eat dairy products and eggs) I'm almost always happy having a meal with people. I tend to be rather shy at first, but after a little time I warm up.
I've been lacto-ovo vegetarian for many years, and recently have cut out sugar for the most part, and am eating more whole foods.
Since around 1985.
I live near UCLA, just north east of it, in Beverly Glen
Hi, my name is Arnold, and I'm 66 years old. I'm interested in being more social and meeting people.
I've met some very friendly people, who reached out (this was a very nice experience), and I enjoyed getting to know them. I'm looking forward to meeting people again at future groups, and eating good meals with everyone!
Hi Arnold,
Would you like to set up a practice date with me? I need all the help I can get.
Hi Arnold,
It was very nice to meet you!
Here is my website. There are links to my blog as well. www.dance4oceans.org

text: Republicans and Democrats on Illinois' pension committee are at a stalemate when it comes to finding a fix for the state's 100-billion-dollar pension liability. Political Analyst Kent Redfield says it's not that one group doesn't want reform; it's just that politics are taking center stage. For example, if one of the Republican candidates votes against reform, it could harm their chances of winning in March. Redfield says it may be safer for the Republicans on the committee to take a stance on reform after the primary election is over. Senate President John Cullerton says the legislature may find a way to get the conference committee to take a vote during veto session.

The polyester twill fabric is tough and equipped with 10K-rated waterproofing to protect you from snow and slush, and taped critical seams prevent moisture from seeping in through the cracks. Lightweight synthetic insulation adds warmth without weighing you down or feeling puffy, while mesh-lined underarm vents let you dump heat when the sun comes back out. The standard fit allows plenty of room to move comfortably and layer underneath.

How warm is this coat? I live where is can get to be -50C. Will it be warm enough without layering a sweater under?

without layering this jacket wont stand up to that kind of cold. Unless you are planning on layering under it and moving around a lot I wouldn't suggest it for those temps.

Great shell jacket
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is perfect for layering. I actually thought the fit was pretty standard. The pockets are convenient. The cherry tomato color looks super rad in person - i actually got catcalled from the lift multiple times for this jacket!
Solid shell jacket
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I am very happy with this jacket. It isn't too heavy but if you wear it as a shell you'll be perfectly warm and dry. It has the basic pockets but does not have an arm pocket for your ski pass. The fit is a bit large so if you are in between sizes, go smaller.

Area police departments provided the following reports. In all incidents where an arrest occurred, a charge is merely an accusation and not evidence of guilt.
Novi Patch
Man Shot in Face in New Year's Eve Incident in Novi
The Novi Police Department is investigating an incident between two motorists which resulted in gunfire, according to a press release. At approximately 10:15 p.m. on Dec. 31, Novi police responded to the Novi Square Plaza, near Pontiac Trail and West Park Drive, on a 911 call stating a vehicle had crashed into the Dollar Tree store.
Upon arrival, officers found a 35-year-old Sterling Heights man suffering from a gunshot wound to the face sitting in his Cadillac Escalade that had crashed into the storefront. Officers also located a 30-year-old Wolverine Lake man near a pickup truck at the scene.
Preliminary investigation indicates the two men had engaged in a traffic altercation in Wixom, which ended in a confrontation in the Novi Square Plaza where one motorist fired a handgun at the other, striking him in the face. The injured man then crashed his vehicle into the Dollar Tree. Both men were armed with handguns and are properly licensed to carry a concealed pistol.
The wounded Sterling Heights man was transported to an area hospital with serious injuries, but is expected to survive.
Dearborn Patch
Assaults, Theft Reported on New Year's at Dearborn Hotel
Dearborn police were called to the Adoba Hotel Dearborn/Detroit three separate times in the early hours of New Year's Day, according to police reports.
Several assaults and a theft were reported between the hours of midnight and 4 a.m. at the hotel, which hosted its annual Champagne Explosion party that night to ring in the new year.
Just after midnight, a resident of Brownstown who was at the hotel's event called police to report her purse as stolen. The purse, she said, had been sitting unattended on a couch in one of the ballrooms' VIP areas. When she went to receive it, it was gone. The purse contained an iPhone 4, camera, iPad, and her wallet.
At 2:20 a.m., police were called to the hotel by a Taylor resident who—also while attending the party—was reportedly assaulted.
The woman told police that she was in the pool area of the hotel when a group of people, both men and women, "began to argue with her." The argument escalated and, she said, someone hit her in the face.
Police noted bruising on her right eye and a cut on the bridge of her nose. The woman refused medical care and said she didn't want to press charges. Police attempted to find the group, but were unsuccessful, as the woman—who said she had consumed several drinks at the event—could not provide a description of the assailant.
Dearborn police were called to the hotel a third time at 4 a.m. by hotel security, who asked that police evict the the patrons in room 775. The guests—as many as 12 in one room—had reportedly been causing trouble all night, and had started a large fight in the hallway of the seventh floor.
While officers were in the process of evicting them, one man was arrested for being drunk and disorderly.
A guest from room 776—who had reportedly been part of the fight—was found in the lobby by officers. Police noted that he was clearly intoxicated. The man told police that someone from room 775 had punched him in the mouth, knocking one of his teeth out.
However, police were unable to find a person matching his description, and noted that the man seemed "confused" as to who had actually hit him.
Farmington-Farmington Hills Patch
Pedestrian Killed in Accident in Farmington Hills
Farmington Hills Police report a 37-year-old woman was killed at around 6:20 p.m. Friday, after being hit by "oncoming vehicles" while crossing Grand River west of Drake Road.
The Farmington Observer reported late Saturday night that the victim was identified by police as Kimberly Michelle Williams of Farmington. Her parents are Farmington Hills residents, the newspaper reported.
In a press release, police said the woman was wearing dark clothing and crossed outside a crosswalk. She died at the scene, and her name is being withheld, pending notification of family members.
WDIV-TV reports the driver of a west-bound Jeep stopped after striking the woman, and two other vehicles that were headed east also hit her.
Northville Patch
Northville Township Man's Property Stolen, Ditched
A Northville Township man's property was stolen from his silver 2012 Ford Fusion 1:03 a.m. Dec. 28 near the 16000 block of Meade Road, according to a Northville Township police report. Another man found a leather bag containing a laptop on the edge of the road where he was placing his garbage, the report said. That man contacted police, who found a passport for the laptop's owner, according to the report.

The Mainstage Season typically features four productions, including one musical, which are directed by regular faculty members and guest artists. Casts and crews are comprised of both undergraduate or graduate students and are occasionally augmented by guest artists.
The Studio Season varies from year to year in content and personnel involvement as might be expected. There are four levels of studio productions:
In-the Works (ITW) are low-budget exercises by first-time (to Binghamton University) student directors. Showcases are mounted by proven ITW directors on a larger scale. Thesis productions are directed by undergraduate or graduate students who have successfully completed a Showcase. Faculty-directed studio productions occur as often as schedules allow, averaging one or two per year and may be included on the Mainstage schedule. Design assistance is afforded Showcase, Thesis and Faculty-directed studio productions when available. Other studio offerings may include directing class one-act play festivals, class-related original plays, performance art pieces and student-choreographed dance works.
For more information, you may view the Production Handbook.
Upcoming production schedules can be found on the season page. Also, past productions can be found and you can visit the participate page to find out how to be in an upcoming performance.

Public NudityPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
I had a dream many years ago in which I showed up to a party and felt that something was wrong – all the other guests were suppressing little giggles. Gradually I came to understand that they were passing around Polaroids of me naked. When I woke up, I realized that I was dreaming about the experience of attending a performance of a piece of mine – all of my most intimate thoughts on public display.
I think of that dream each time I have a premiere, and even more each time I walk into the first rehearsal of a new piece.

Welcome to the Benny Carle Classic TV fansite! Were you one of the hundreds of thousands of kids who celebrated a birthday on Western Theatre, Circle Six Ranch, or The Benny Carle show?If so, you probably remember it like it was yesterday! Well- this site is for you. Now you can relive all those fond memories of a better time and make some new ones too! It has been reported by those who keep such records that The Benny Carle Show still stands as the longest running local TV show in America: Over 30 consecutive years, 6 days a week. He entertained and interviewed over 400,000 children and guests on his shows. And we've got photos galore of celebrities you should recognize.
Benny's broadcasting career spans over 8 decades. He was the first to perform on live camera. For 30 years he hosted a live children's TV show each afternoon in the 40's, 50's & 60's on Birmingham channels 13 and 6 and later during the 60's and 70's on channels 23, 31 and 48 in Decatur and Huntsville. Benny is an acknowledged TV original. Beginning in the late forties, he was the first to entertain large groups of children each day as live guests in the studio. As his popularity grew throughout the south his method and style was often copied by larger market stations all over America. His outgoing personality and obvious love for children won him the admiration and loyalty of thousands of Alabama families.
At a time when cowboy westerns were king, Hollywood stars who visited his Circle Six Ranch reads like a who's who: Gene Autry, Pat Buttram, Tex Ritter, Hank Williams, The Lone Ranger, Ken Maynard, Guy Madison, Smiley Burnett, Dennis Weaver, Duncan Renaldo, Johnny Mack Brown, Vincent Price, John Carradine, Steve McQueen, Captain Kangaroo, Little Big Man, Arnold Stang, Vic Morrow, Amanda Blake, Milburn Stone, Leslie Neilsen, Jane Mansfield, Andy Griffith, and Chuck Connors, who gave Benny a speaking part in his TV show "The Rifleman".
Benny's on-the-air ability and expertise in broadcasting is well known throughout the industry and in 1965 he became part owner and manager of WMSL-TV 23 in Decatur and changed the channel to 48 and moved the station to Huntsville, Alabama. He sold the Huntsville facility in 1977 and moved to Florence to purchase WBCF-AM/FM Radio Stations and originate two television stations: WBCF-TV39 and WXFL-TV10. He continues to operate these facilities together with his son, Benji Carle.
Benny says, "Even now adults 50 to 60 years of age, with families of their own, will contact me from all over America to relive their own experiences on my show. Many are so emotional as they recall in precise detail the thrill of that special day what I said to them and they said to me. It is a distinct honor to be part of a lifetime of memories only a child can appreciate."
Benny Carle was born, raised and educated in Birmingham, Alabama. He attended Ullman and Glen Iris grade schools, Ramsay High school and Birmingham Southern College. He and his wife Patricia have three sons. Benji followed him into broadcasting and manages his radio and TV stations, while Jay and Jim are CPA's in Nashville. Benny is a World War Two veteran of the US Merchant Marines and holds combat ribbons for both the Atlantic and Pacific theatres of hostilities, including the D Day Invasion of Normandy and the VJ Day surrender of Japan.
Thanks for the memories!

It's only 28 miles down Colorado Highway 135 from Crested Butte to Gunnison. But based on mountain biking notoriety, you'd think Gunnison was half way to the moon away. While Crested Butte is revered as one of the world's great mountain bike destinations, Gunnison remains a Centennial State secret. But the town's Hartman Rocks Recreation Area [30] has 40 miles of flowing singletrack worthy of adding to your bucket list. Gunnison locals Dave Wiens (six-time Leadville 100 champ), Brian St. George (field office manager for the Gunnison Bureau of Land Management) and Jim Dirksen (56-year-old longtime Gunnison resident and rider) explain.
What differentiates Gunnison from its famous neighbor?
Brian St. George: Length of season. Some Crested Butte trails can be snowed in to June or even July sometimes. We're usually open by March or April, and go all the way into October, sometimes later.
Dave Wiens: We're at the opposite end of the spectrum. Crested Butte has long high-alpine climbs; Gunnison has classic desert riding with lots of technical singletrack.
Jim Dirksen: I love that you can see where you're coming from and where you're going. You're not in the woods. You're out in the open. There are places where you can see for 100 miles on a clear day.
What's the can't miss trail?
DW: There's no one trail. It's the whole Hartman system. By themselves the trails are pretty short, but when you link them together you can do a 4-5 hour ride with very little re-tracing.
JD: It's definitely the whole system [31] (PDF). The climbs are not too long, and everything is very rideable. The trick is knowing the area well enough to be able to link the trails and connectors without stopping to look at your map all the time. If you don't know the trails, find someone who does and follow them.
Describe the riding.
BSG: Magic—especially after some moisture. The trails drain really well, so they get really tacky.
DW: When you get a little rain, it's like powder day because the traction gets so good. Evenings are also amazing. You get the late day light with those long shadows, and it's a little cooler.
Best race?
DW: The Original Growler. Happens in late May. It's our fourth year coming up. We sold out all 300 spots last year. It's a mass-start race that takes in almost all the Hartman trails, so it's a 32-mile loop that's about 25 miles of singletrack. You can do one lap or the full two-lap race. Last year's two-lap winner took about 5.5 hours. The event is a fundraiser for our local trail association.
Best bike?
DW: For me it's a hardtail. There's quite a bit of slickrock, so I don't want a lot of mush. But there are also a few freeride style trails that are direction-specific and are really technical.
BSG: You see a lot of singlespeeds, too. Because the trails are shorter, you can come out for 1-2 hours and really work it.
JD: Almost everything is under 10 percent grade, so it's all very rideable. On a geared bike, I can middle ring whole thing. There is a lot of really fast sections with amazing flow.
Beers, Burgers and Bikes:
For post-ride grub and suds, check out the Gunnison Brewery [32] or Crested Butte Brewery (both located in Gunnison). Tomichi Cycles [33] and Rock 'N Roll Sports [34] can take care of all your bike shop needs. The Steaming Bean pours a great cup of coffee.

I have spent the past 10 years of my life writing in some form or another. In college I wrote about Jane Austen novels, Shakespeare, and Emily Dickinson ...
(Are you sleeping yet? It gets better I promise)
In 2010, I started "That's so Michelle" as place to write about things that I felt -- as a serious journalist -- I didn't know how to write about yet.
Fun things like my family and friends and my love for food and entertaining.
Just like so many young women I love un-serious things like coffee, shoes, nail polish and yoga. That's so Michelle is a place where I can confidently share those things with you and maybe learn a thing or two about photography in the process.

Invest Like Stewie Griffin…
Brian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
There are countless articles on the Internet advocating words of wisdom from tremendous investors such as Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch and others. While these investing greats offer some tremendously good advice, I'm going to propose that you invest like a different "celebrity"… Stewie Griffin. Yes, the animated one-year old prodigy focused on taking over the world on the TV show Family Guy. Stewie's focus is not on the short term; instead, he is dedicated to developing all sorts of technology in his quest for world domination. You are probably asking how in the world this could possibly be relevant to investing, so here is a hint: one retailer recently spent $775 million to acquire a company that makes warehouse robots to aide its own quest for worldwide domination.
From Disruptive Bookseller to a Dominant Force in Retail
Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) first entered the world of online commerce in 1995, back in the days of the dial-up modem and pay-by-the-minute AOL subscriptions. Amazon.com's CEO Jeff Bezos wrote a visionary letter to shareholders in 1997 discussing how the company could grow and reshape retailing and e-commerce. One by one, Amazon.com has successfully challenged brick and mortar retailers and come away victorious. This started with simply selling books, gaining share from entrenched competitors including Borders and Barnes & Noble (NYSE: BKS). Today, Borders is in bankruptcy while Barnes & Noble is incurring significant losses with no end in sight. Next, it was CDs, DVDs, software, consumer electronics and essentially anything else you can find at a Circuit City (remember them?) or Best Buy (NYSE: BBY). The 5-year chart comparing the performance of Amazon.com and Best Buy to the S&P 500 says it all:
Today, Amazon.com sells just about everything you can think of; in fact, Amazon.com has directly taken on every company in the top 25 retailers in the U.S. except for McDonald's and Yum! Brands. The results are equally impressive on the top line, with explosive growth that has driven Amazon.com's revenues to $54 billion over the past twelve months and has increased revenues 29% year-over-year in the most recent quarter.
No End in Sight
In Bezos' 2011 letter to shareholders, he still refers to today as "day 1" for Amazon.com. With a continued focus on the customer and a never-ending drive to grow and innovate, Bezos has transformed Amazon.com into far more than a retailer of physical goods. First and foremost, Amazon has become a dominant player in digital media, starting with the introduction of the wildly popular Kindle e-book reader in 2007 and then continuing with the 2011 debut of the media tablet Kindle Fire. Aside from competing with mighty Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and its popular hardware offerings, Amazon.com's sale of digital books, music and video has become a formidable competitor to Apple's iTunes store. Amazon even goes above and beyond Apple's current offerings with the functionality of its Amazon Cloud Player and unlimited streaming via the Netflix-like Amazon Instant Video. Plus, Amazon.com's digital media is universally available on not only the Kindle, but also Apple's iOS devices and Google Android devices.
Despite its size, growth can be found everywhere at Amazon. In addition to the digital revolution the company has helped to create, the company is finding creative ways to attract and satisfy customers. On the consumer front, this can range from Amazon Local, a direct competitor to Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN), to the delivery of groceries via Amazon.com's Amazon Fresh pilot. Unlike Groupon though, Amazon.com's daily deal service serves as a loss leader to attract otherwise profitable customer relationships, rather than Groupon's extremely poor business model for standalone profitability. In addition to becoming a formidable competitor to companies like Staples in the corporate world, Amazon has also been a pioneer with its Amazon Web Services, a suite of cloud computing solutions that rival the offerings of companies including Raxspace Holdings, VMWare and others.
And the key to Amazon.com's quest for world domination is that there is no sign of this dramatic growth slowing down anytime soon. The company continues to invest heavily in growth, both in infrastructure (including significant investment in 18 new distribution centers that will open this year and the $775 million acquisition of Kiva Systems) and new ways to make the customer experience better (new devices like the Kindle Fire, new services like Amazon Cloud Player, addition of streaming video titles to Amazon Prime, etc.).
In total, these initiatives improve the number of items customers can choose from, the speed at which they are delivered and create an increasingly sticky eco-system that attracts repeat customers. For example, Amazon Prime provides customers with unlimited free 2 day shipping on items sold by Amazon.com and also provides free access to a streaming library that is quickly becoming at least comparable to Netflix. At $79 per year, Amazon Prime is a fantastic value if you become a regular visitor to Amazon.com!
Worldwide Domination Does Not Come Cheap
The path to worldwide retail domination does not come without a price. Amazon has very tight margins when you factor in its low prices, free shipping and R&D expenses. So, the TTM P/E of 283 and forward P/E of 95 that you see on finance websites is not a mistake. Other standard financial metrics, including the roughly 2% free cash flow yield and P/S of almost 2 certainly qualify as "expensive" in the minds of most investors. However, these metrics are deflated since they include capital and operating costs incurred during the rapid expansion of Amazon.com's infrastructure and workforce; as Amazon grows into this new capacity, earnings and cash flows will follow.
If today is "day 1" for Amazon, many industry experts believe that the company can grow to rival the revenues of worldwide leader Wal-Mart over the long term. If you study Amazon's growth trajectory and consider that continued 30% annual growth puts Amazon.com on pace to eclipse Wal-Mart as the largest retailer in the world in just eleven years. With this in mind, Amazon suddenly transitions from being wildly overpriced to an interesting investment idea.

The home teams won both games today as Wildcard weekend began, and both in convincing fashion.
In the early game, the Texans ousted the Bengals 31-10, led by Arian Foster's 153 yards rushing. The Texans will be in Baltimore next Sunday at 1 PM to face the Ravens.
Over 1,000 yards of offense were posted in the late game, and the Lions led 14-10 at halftime, but a huge second half by Drew Brees led to a 45-28 victory for the Saints. The Saints put up 35 points in the second half, and Drew Brees threw for 466 yards and 3 TDs to send his Saints to San Fransisco next Saturday at 4 PM to face the Forty Niners.
That means the winner of the Giants vs. Falcons will head to Green Bay, and the winner of Pittsburgh vs. Denver will face the Patriots.

Sew is Life is written by E. It is a little space of blogging bliss inspired by art, design, craft, fashion, beauty and wellness. Based in Perth, Western Australia. Read about the daily ramblings of me being a mother of three and wife to an amazing creative man. The second me makes fresh skincare at SELF Organics. These are my stories sewn together with love.
Hi guys, how was your weekend? Hope you got up to lots and relaxed too.
I want to share my latest purchase…and this was a much needed update to my sad and sorry looking wallet. I didn't really think to change my wallet, until I thought this is probably a reflection of my spending habits and also it may be causing bad luck or bad 'feng shui' to carry such a poor looking wallet.
My old black Olga Berg served me well…it will be sad to say goodbye to such an old friend. We had many good times out shopping together. And I saw that Marcs was having a sale during my birthday so I thought..why not update my prime accessory with a gorgeous red and gold detailed wallet.
The Olga Berg travelled with me where ever I went, so it was only a matter of time it would fall to bits. This new one is made of leather…so hopefully it will last the wear and tear little longer. There are 16 card sleeves, a coin zipped compartment, another zip pocket on the side and a main zip to stop receipts falling out.
I found all those hidden Maccas (McDonald's) receipts! Oops..
Do you consider your a wallet an accessory or just a necessity?
Enjoy your Monday!
E x
All stuffed from the Christmas feasting yesterday? Perhaps more eating on Boxing Day? Eating comparison aside…hope you all had a fun time with your loved ones. What did you all get in your Christmas loot? Care to share? I received a few bath goodies, chocolates and an iPad from Hubz.
Also I bought a present to 'myself'…because this year has been particularly testing for me. So decide I spoil myself with a Marc Jacobs luxury tote from Reebonz (also I had credit that was due to expire and I didn't want it to go to waste). This was my first experience buying a bag from Reebonz and I was surprised and squealing like a piglet when the package arrived with Mr. Postman.
The box was absolutely gorgeous! I was so impressed by the box, the ribbon and the way they packed the tote as it came in its own soft drawstring bag. So when I am done using the bag for the day, it can go to sleep in its little pouch.
I don't usually buy nice, shiny things for myself…but this bag seemed appropriately stylish, practical (big compartment with extra room to carry the kids' things) and it also matches my personality. Which is shiny, casual and a little sporty :)
Please scroll down to see the photos I took whilst unboxing this beauty:
It has only one smaller inner pocket, which is a bummer because all my important little things go in there (such as phone, lip balm, parking tickets etc) and has a tendency to fall out into the bigger pocket. As there are no zips inside.
What goodies did you get for Christmas? Please share in the comments section below.
Have a fun Boxing Day whereever you are in the world!

*This is not a sponsored post. This bag was bought by myself and the review has not been influenced by any other party.
I've never been a fan of the chilly temperatures, always a Summer girl at heart. So I have been stocking up on some accessories to pair with my Spring/Summer mood. Some of these items can also be teamed together with a Winter wardrobe, so it makes it more economical whilst enhancing your look all together.
The new season pieces at Lovisa range from pastel geometrics to metallic golds and dramatic blacks. You will also notice edgier pieces with spikes, big colourful stones and statement cuffs. The heavier the stack on your wrists, the better!
Here are a few items I picked up in the Perth city store last week, just because…
Pastel geometrics mixed with gold, it screams 'Spring Fling'!
This is a spike & crystal necklace, beautiful and edgy at the same time
These came in a pack of three, they are plastic dress rings. I like to wear a different colour combination on my digits each day.
I really hope they will open an online store soon because I so happened to be in the city that day, and it is a very rare trip for me! Little presents in the mail are so much nicer :)
If you can't get yourself into a Lovisa store right now, you can find some Lovisa items at The Iconic. The Iconic is currently offering $10 off minimum spend of $50 using the codeCFAF10M at the checkout (promotion ends 9th August 2012). They also offer free overnight shipping, so you will get a visit from the postie pretty much the next day if you place your order before 10pm (Sydney-siders) or 2pm (rest of Australia).
Do you like any of the new season trends? What accessories will you be wearing?

Cath Kidston is currently have up to 50% off on their online store. One of their signature pieces is their oil cloth bags. These are available with 30% off for a limited time only. I have always wanted to own a Cath Kidston bag for the stunning fabric and the Vintage design, but I think a new nappy bag has to come first! The designs are about 'Mixing the whimsical, the classic and the nostalgic' . There are some bags in pretty pastel shades that bring the 'Spring' mood a little earlier ;) Here are some of my picks from the sale, there are loads more to check out on the website.
Do you own more than one everyday/Main bag?

It's been a while since I have completed a sewing project. It's been a bit of a battle sitting down in front of the sewing machine too long with my reach getting further and further from me because of my 'Buddha' belly. I can't keep away from my 'sewing-sister' too long though, otherwise I get the sewer's 'Itch'.
So…right now I am going through a headband phase. I don't usually wear headbands, but I love the thought of having a few different patterned ones for when baby arrives.
One particular reason, my hair has grown at legendary speeds due to the pregnancy growth hormone. Plus I had a big chunk of hair snipped off last November in Malaysia and I have noticed it has grown 5 inches longer in the past 8 months. It's become thick and unruly, but definitely healthy and shinier.
I came across this tutorial by sayyestohoboken.com, it is such an inspiring little blog run by stylishly crafty blogger, Liz Stanley. Thanks Liz!
Here is how my headband turned out. I am going to make a matching one for my friend, who is having a birthday soon. This is a perfect present idea for a girlfriend.

Click here to read the tutorial and check out my step-by-step photos:
I'm sure I wrote a post not too long ago about elegant cocktail rings with bling. Now it's all about having a large rock, the mineral stone or raw uncut crystal on top of your digits. Sometimes these rocks can be mistaken for knuckle dusters, so be mindful not to bump into anyone who won't be so forgiving!
Two rocks are never alike! Beautified by mother nature, it is a definite possibility that you can own a special unique piece of the earth for yourself. Each individual stone would have gone through different temperature, water and pressure treatments caused by natural erosion which results in their unique appearance.
I used to collect raw crystals as a little girl. My favourites were Amethyst and Rose Quartz. I believed they had healing powers and the ability to bring good spirit into one's life. It was like my 'juju' or good luck charm. Now I think of it, I used to carry a rose quartz in my pocket to hopefully bring love into my life. And now I am surrounded by it :)
How I love these rings at the moment, brings me back to my young and carefree days. The Blue Agate Stone Ring from Miss Selfridge would be my favourite pick.
Do you carry around a 'juju' to bring you luck, healthy, love etc? Do you believe in little tokens of good fortune?
I am obsessed with cocktail rings at the moment - anything that is huge, big stoned, in brights, feminine, intricate or even masculine. It becomes a feature point to a whole look and can even be a conversation starter. You can dress up for the day or night and just add a big rock on your finger and you are all set. My favourite is the Samantha Wills Petite High Style ring in Blush, it adds a feminine and soft touch. And the other ring is the ASOS Layered Metal and Stone Ring, I like this because of the geometric shape and futuristic style.
French Connection has launched their Autumn Winter 2011/2012 line and I couldn't help but notice the glamourous cocktail rings they have in their online shop. This would add instant 'wow' factor to a plain LBD (Little Black Dress).

The girls don't get all the fun - Ben Minkoff has some gear for the dudes too
I am so thrilled to hear Rebecca Minkoff is offering free shipping internationally (spend over $300 to get free shipping) and to US residents. Not to mention free exchanges, so if you are not fully satisfied with what you ordered send it back for free! Her online store stocks bags, shoes, jewellery, apparel and more. There are definitely some lust-worthy items, it isn't too soon to add to your Christmas 2011 wish list right?
