Deutsche Bank Sees Favorable Risk/Reward Upside Target Of $170 For Wynn Resorts

Deutsche Bank on Friday issued a company update on Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ: WYNN) as the company continues to face pressure given Macau trends. Deutsche Bank rates Wynn resorts as a Buy and set a price target of $170.
Analyst Carlo Santarelli wrote, "In the near term, with shares at current levels, we think the following serve as positive catalysts; a resolution to the proxy battle in late April; a lowered Consensus bar into / post 1Q15 earnings, and a resolution of the table allocation speculation ahead of the May Galaxy opening."
On April 24, the proxy battle between the company and Mrs. Wynn will conclude with the naming of the two Board members from the current slate of three, the analysts said. As far as investors are concerned, whether Mrs. Wynn is or isn't elected to the Board has no bearing on her ability to monetize her shares. While top line visibility in the Cotai project remains challenging, daily table revenue has averaged HKD ~650 million in March. Analysts believe the month could finish slightly better than expected thereby providing some near-term view of stability.
Shares of Wynn Resorts closed Thursday at $126.86.

Stifel, Bank Of America Are Talking About Apollo Education
by Insider Scoop - March 26th, 2015 12:00 am
Courtesy of Benzinga.
On Thursday, Stifel issued a report on Apollo Education Group Inc (NASDAQ: APOL) as the stock's volume has not recovered. Stifel lowered its target price from $35 to $25, but still rates Apollo Education as a Buy.
"Our Buy thesis which was based on the stock being cheap and the expectation that we were getting closer to a turn in core business has not played out as expected," analysts wrote. "The disappointment will likely cause dislocation in the shareholder base and likely an "oversold" condition near term.
"However…the stock is too cheap even on reduced expectations."
Stifel believes that Apollo's participation in digital education and training could make it an attractive candidate for a strategic buyer. Analysts consider the educational company's cash flow to be attractive, especially for a financial buyer.
Bank Of America Talks Too
Bank of America also commented on Apollo this Thursday. The firm holds a Neutral rating on the stock with a $24 price target.
"We are reducing estimates on lower student start & retention assumptions," their analysts wrote.
"While the trajectory of starts remains uncertain, we do expect improvements with the lap of the LMS rollout (mid 4Q15) and continued progress at Apollo Global (11% of FY14 revenue)."

Wedbush Securities Remains Positive On J2 Global Following Management Meetings

Courtesy of Benzinga.
In a report published Thursday, Wedbush Securities analyst Shyam Patil reiterated an Outperform rating and $75.00 price target on J2 Global Inc. (NASDAQ: JCOM).
In the report, Wedbush Securities noted, "Recall that j2 is attempting to acquire Carbonite and has entered into a due diligence process with the company. Carbonite is still evaluating its options, which include selling or remaining independent. j2 currently owns slightly less than 10% of the stock. We did not receive any incremental color on the process, but it does sound like a decision could be made by the end of April. As we have stated before, we believe this transaction would be highly accretive for j2 and likely the best outcome for Carbonite. We would note that while j2′s cloud backup revenue is about half the size of Carbonite's, its margins are 4x higher."
J2 Global closed on Wednesday at $66.65.

4 Big Takeaways From Facebook's F8
by Insider Scoop - March 26th, 2015 12:00 am
Courtesy of Benzinga.
In a report published Thursday, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey analyst Bob Peck detailed four "big" takeaways from Facebook Inc (NASDAQ: FB)'s F8 event.
1. Messaging Is The New Portal
Peck stated that Facebook has shown that its desktop platform will eventually "morph" into a portal-like service where "everyone starts their day." However, the mobile strategy is different as Messaging is becoming the next generation of portals.
"Consumers start their day checking messages, they are also consuming more and more general news, pictures, and videos," Peck wrote. The analyst continued that the "next logical step" is e-commerce and payments, which Messenger Platform would enable.
The analyst suggested that the e-commerce and Payment opportunity alone could present a more than $2 billion opportunity.

2. Parse Is Attempting To Be The 'OS' OF The Internet Of Things
Facebook cited that there are more than five billion devices that are connected to the Internet, and this figure is expected to balloon to 25 billion in five years. With over 400,000 developers and 1.4 billion, Peck stated that the Parse technology that helps connect these devices has the potential to make Facebook the "OS" for them.
The Internet of Things touches all areas of the economy and the app entry point and "OS" could further expand Facebook's importance and eCommerce, advertising and payments opportunities.
3. Expanding Facebook's Reach
According to Peck, the functionality of Facebook Audience Network (FAN) combined with LiveRail (now video and display) expands the company's reach off of the platform (similar to Google's AdSense) and enables People Based Marketing. The analyst estimated that FAN represents an approximately $1 billion opportunity for Facebook.
The analyst said that developers he interacted with…

6 Marijuana Bills In Congress Fail To Solve The 'Single Most Important' Problem
by Insider Scoop - March 26th, 2015 12:00 am
Courtesy of Benzinga.
Analysts at Chardan Capital Markets recently took a look at the six bills related to marijuana that are working their way through Congress.
Chardan released a report with a breakdown of the current marijuana bills and a summary of the issue that they believe is the most pressing legal matter legislators have yet to address when it comes to marijuana.
Current Bills
1. HR 262 would exempt medical-marijuana related conduct from real property civil forfeiture under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
2. HR 667 would authorize healthcare providers at the Department of Veterans Affairs to recommend state marijuana programs to veterans.
3. HR 1013 would remove marijuana from the CSA all together and give the FDA the same authority over marijuana that it currently has over alcohol. It would also move marijuana jurisdiction from the DEA to the ATFE.
4. HR 1014 would impose a two-year 10 percent recreational marijuana tax that would increase up to 25 percent after five years.
5. HR 1538, which has not been yet been made available, is intended to "extend the principle of federalism to state drug policy, provide access to medical marijuana and enable research into the medicinal properties of marijuana."
6. S 683 would move marijuana from Schedule I of the CSA to Schedule II and allow banks to accept deposits from growers and retailers.
Glaring Omission
According to the report, the obvious omission from all these bills is any reform on Provision 280 of the tax code.
Typically, a business is allowed to deduct business expenses such as advertising costs, rent, utilities and employee salaries from earned income prior to paying federal tax. However, under the current code, marijuana-based businesses are not afforded this luxury.
Analysts believe the legal U.S. marijuana industry is "in its early growth stage." Chardan predicts that the American marijuana market could eventually reach the size of its alcohol market, a $200 billion annual business.

Deutsche Bank Is Talking Troubled Retailers And REIT Risk
by Insider Scoop - March 26th, 2015 12:00 am
Courtesy of Benzinga.
On March 24, Deutsche Bank published a quarterly update of the retail sector, including a watch-list of retail tenants viewed as posing higher risks for bankruptcy and store closures for REIT landlords.
Spoiler Alert: Top Malls – No Worries
One key investor takeaway from the report, was that troubled mall anchors Sears Holdings Corp (NASDAQ: SHLD) and J C Penney Company Inc (NYSE: JCP), do not pose a major risk to the top mall REITs.
In fact, General Growth Properties Inc (NYSE: GGP) and Taubman Centers, Inc. (NYSE: TCO) have zero exposure, while Simon Property Group Inc (NYSE: SPG) and Macerich Co (NYSE: MAC)'s base rent risk is just 0.5 percent and 1.3 percent, respectively.
Additionally, these mall landlords have zero exposure to the five other watch-list retailers detailed below.
Retail Environment – Big Picture
- DB expects U.S. retailers to benefit from lower unemployment and energy prices, but the strong dollar remains a headwind for tourist generated sales.
- DB noted positive trends continuing in Q4 2014, "…with rent spreads remaining solidly positive in the mid-to-upper teens range for Malls and near 10% for the Shopping Center REITs under coverage."
- Overall strong occupancy with the Malls at 96.5% and Shopping Centers at ~95% range.
- "The DB Shopping Center universe remains well-diversified from a tenant perspective, with the top 10 tenants accounting

Re: Redskins' fans angry, but football is brutal
I once played some football when I was younger. I dont remember much about the games, but I sure can feel the forgotten pains of yesterday, today. For those of you who have never played sports. Just remember the last time you fell or slip on some ice. You may forget where you fell, but one day you sure will be reminded by the pain. No professional player really wants to see a another player seriously hurt.
Go Steelers!

Re: Redskins' fans angry, but football is brutal
Keisel didn't intend to injury Redskins QB
By Scott Brown
Monday, August 20, 2007
Defensive end Brett Keisel said he in no way was trying to knock Washington Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell out of Saturday's exhibition game.
And he told Campbell as much after Keisel crashed into Campbell's lower leg while trying to make a sack.
Campbell immediately grabbed his bruised left knee after Keisel hit him, and he left the game.
"The second that I saw his training staff was out there, I ran back down and told him to his face that I deliberately didn't try and do anything and hope he gets better," Keisel said.
Keisel lost his footing right before he got to Campbell and said that's what caused him to hit the second-year quarterback in the lower leg.
He got penalized 15 yards for roughing the passer.
Better showing
Mike Tomlin hardly called receiver Nate Washington's performance Saturday night a redeeming one.
The Steelers coach said Washington did what he told the third-year wide receiver to do: forget about the two dropped passes he had in the Hall of Fame Game on Aug. 5.
"I don't consider it a rebound," Tomlin said after Washington caught three passes for 44 yards in the Steelers' 12-10 win over the Redskins. "I just consider what happened in the Hall of Fame Game a fluke."
Washington hauled in a 33-yard pass from quarterback Charlie Batch that set up a short Jeff Reed field goal early in the fourth quarter.
He's caught five passes for 61 yards in the past two games.
Special effort
Tomlin couldn't heap enough praise on his special teams unit Saturday night, saying rookie Daniel Sepulveda's punting and the coverage on his kicks kept the Steelers in the game early.
Sepulveda averaged 50 yards on four punts, and he had a net average of 48.5 yards.
The Steelers didn't have any problems kicking field goals, either, as Jeff Reed and Connor Hughes each kicked a pair.
In the Steelers' second preseason game, Reed had an extra point blocked.
"I think the big thing I like about this football team is when we identify a problem, we make them disappear," Tomlin said. "Field-goal protection showed up in a big way; special teams showed up in a big way."
Chance to shine
Running back Verron Haynes saw extended action Saturday night, and that was by design.
Since Haynes is coming off reconstructive knee surgery, Tomlin said the team had targeted the Steelers' third exhibition game as a chance to take a good look at the veteran.
Haynes led the Steelers in rushing with 30 yards on seven carries. He also caught two passes for 15 yards.
"We knew this would be the game to show where he is, and he answered the call a little bit," Tomlin said.
This and that
Running back Willie Parker only had 4 yards on four carries against the Redskins, but the Pro Bowler said it was just good to get back on the field again. "I had to get my body acclimated to a hit," said Parker, who missed the first two preseason games because of inflammation in his left knee. "Once I got that first hit, I was ready to go." ... The Steelers, who were off Sunday, resume practice this afternoon at their South Side facility.

Controversial hit raises Keisel's profile
He didn't leave FedEx Stadium with an armed escort or wearing an elaborate disguise.
Brett Keisel did become decidedly less popular in Washington than Beltway traffic after he knocked Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell out of last Saturday night's game with a bruised knee.
That play, of which Keisel said Monday was legal even though he got penalized for roughing the passer, blew the defensive end's cover.
Keisel had hovered below the radar to some degree before that hit on Campbell.
For all of the talk during the offseason about how the Steelers would move Keisel around to take advantage of his unique blend of size and athleticism, he has stayed mostly at right defensive end during the team's first three preseason games.
Of course, as Keisel pointed out late last week, it is only August.
That means the Steelers' regular-season opponents, and particularly their division foes, haven't seen anything yet.
"The defense we run in the preseason is pretty vanilla," Keisel said, adding that the Steelers hold back 80 percent of what they plan to do on defense during the preseason. "We try to save our secrets for when it really counts."
It is no secret that the Steelers want to use Keisel in a similar way that the Ravens employed Adalius Thomas last season.
Thomas was technically a linebacker, but he lined up everywhere from the defensive line to the secondary. His versatility helped make the Ravens one of the top defenses in the NFL in 2006, and it made Thomas one of the more coveted free agents after the season (he signed with the Patriots).
Keisel made a smooth transition from special teams player and reserve to starter in 2006, and he and the Steelers are eager for him to do even more this season.
The 6-foot-5, 285-pounder said he is as comfortable dropping back into coverage as he is rushing the quarterback because of his background in basketball and from playing middle linebacker in high school.
Aaron Smith, who starts opposite Keisel on the defensive line, said the Brigham Young product is "hands down" the best athlete on the team.
"You get a big guy that's as athletic as he is, it's rare," said Smith, adding that Keisel looks fluid and natural when he drops back into coverage. "That's where you can really tell the difference with the big guys; they get in a little space and they look uncomfortable. He looks like a linebacker when we're out there."
Keisel appeared to have a linebacker mentality when he lunged at Campbell while trying to sack him in the Steelers' 12-10 win over the Redskins.
Keisel, who didn't practice Monday because of a minor groin problem, said he watched the film of the hit and that it showed it wasn't a dirty play.
When asked if he thinks he'll get fined for it, Keisel said, "I don't expect to, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did."
It shouldn't come as any surprise where Keisel lines up this season, especially since he has embraced the role of playing all over the field.
"I want to be a great player in this league," said Keisel, who turns 29 next month. "I honestly feel like my career defensively is just starting, and I'm excited about that."

Re: Redskins' fans angry, but football is brutal
I tell you what...
If Keisel gets fine for this one than the league has finally lost its damn mind...
In addition to the soon to be seen flag football QB rule already mentioned at length (I hear Goodell reads these boards and the suggestion certainly "aroused" his interest), we are also going to see a new rule for defenders.
If you are down, without or without contact, than you are ineligible to participate in the rest of the play.
So if defensive lineman's knee or rear touches the ground they are down by contact and must get out of the way of the play in progress by raising their hand and running toward the sideline... like in dodgeball...
Actually. Let's start playing dodgeball...
This raised Kiesel's stock alright, for all the dumb reasons. Also doesn't help when no one in the popular media... yes you ESPN... has the balls to say ENOUGH!
On Sportscenter the next day that was the big clip of the game, with some sort of spin on it that I don't even remember.
Granted, the Redskins Super Star QB (right, Theismann? ) went down, but I'm sick of it...
Initially, I was worried about Campbell, you hate to see anyone get hurt, especially in the preseason, but once he walked off the field, I couldn't help but think... here we go again...
Let the Steelers hate parade continue. The entire town of Brisco following behind the Steelers' bus... "Crash!" "Crash!"
Mad props to Steel-Bryan for the Bucco sig.

On the opening day of the trial on Wednesday, Mann said Thatcher's role in the attempt to remove Teodoro Obiang Nguema, Equatorial Guinea's president, went beyond raising finances.
Thatcher had been in contact with Severo Moto, a political opponent of Obiang who the plotters intended to install as president, Mann said.
Moto would be transported by Thatcher to the Spanish Canary Islands and then on to Mali in readiness to take over as Equatorial Guinea's president, Mann said.
Spanish 'support'
Mann also said South Africa, Spain and the United States had approved the plot.
The Spanish government was completely ready to support the operation in Equatorial Guinea, a former Spanish colony, he said.
The US and unnamed oil companies also approved of a change of government in the country, he said.
South African secret services passed him a message from its chief, effectively giving him approval to stage a coup, Mann said.
Manuel Cacho, a Spanish foreign ministry spokesman, said Mann's claims were baseless.
"The Spanish government obviously denies these allegations, as it already did in 2004 through foreign minister Miguel Angel Moratinos," he said.
Mann - who faces 30 years in jail if convicted - was arrested in 2004 at Harare airport with 61 alleged accomplices when their plane touched down on the way to Equatorial Guinea.
Zimbabwean authorities accused them of trying to pick up arms before launching their coup attempt.
Equatorial Guinea has issued an international arrest warrant for Thatcher. Obiang has been in power in Equatorial Guinea since he overthrew his uncle, Francisco Macias Nguema, in 1979.

Blue Hubbard Squash - to store or freeze?
Someone gave me two huge blue hubbard squash. I've read they are particularly good for storage, but I really have no suitable place to store them. I could keep them on the kitchen floor, I guess. But I'm thinking it might be better to freeze it. Any words of wisdom for me here? To freeze it, is it best to cook it first? Thanks!
If you don't have proper storage then freezing would be the best option. Detailed instructions on how to cook and freeze below.
Some cooking will be required first just to get it out of the shell but how much depends on how you do it. Some bake, some boil, I prefer to microwave mine until soft enough to cut and remove the rind. You can then freeze it mashed or in chunks.
Here is a link that might be useful: Freezing winter squash

Commune Hotels & Resorts to Open Thompson Nashville
Thursday August 21st, 2014 - 9:56AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
NASHVILLE, TN—Commune Hotels & Resorts, along with MarketStreet Enterprises, the master developer of Music City's The Gulch neighborhood, and AJ Capital Partners and The Berger Company, plan to open the 224-room Thompson Nashville here.
The Gulch is a mixed-use neighborhood with more than 50 restaurants, retail stores and entertainment venues. The Gulch development plan was launched 15 years ago by MarketStreet Enterprises.
Expected to open in summer 2016, the hotel will offer a signature ground floor restaurant and boutique retail space, as well as an indoor-outdoor rooftop.
Architectural design is being led by Nashville-based Hastings Architecture Associates, LLC. New York City-based Parts and Labor Design will create customized interiors. Site work for the project is anticipated to begin in early 2015.
"The Gulch is the perfect location for a Thompson Hotel—a brand that respects the unique character of its environment—as it sits within close proximity to Nashville's premier destinations and will become another marquee amenity for the home-grown urban neighborhood," stated Jay Turner, managing director, MarketStreet Enterprises. "With construction of Gulch Crossing—our new Class A office building—in full swing, this is an opportune time to introduce an exceptional hospitality component."

Technology used to be considered impersonal. You know, the idea of the "robotic mind," no human interaction. But, the reality is technology is actually very personal and becoming more so by the day.

Project Tomorrow collects data and feedback from students, parents, teachers, administrators, and pre-service teachers about education issues through their annual Speak Up survey. This data is then distributed to the schools, districts, and states providing them with valuable information about the thoughts of all the different stakeholders in the school community. The results of the nationwide survey are shared with key decision makers and policy influencers at annual Congressional Briefings for both the House & Senate. These survey results are very important because they help stimulate local, state, and national discussions about education trends that in turn help to shape education policy and funding decisions. Julie Evans and her team do a wonderful job of collecting, analyzing, and sharing this data at conferences, webinars, and briefings.

New tool to measure customer satisfaction
For enterprises looking to have an insight on how their brands score on customer satisfaction, there's now a tool in the market to help companies measure customer experience levels across brands as well as categories. The tool has been developed by Custommerce Service Excellence Foundation (CSEF), a forum incubated by Servion Global Solutions that offers solutions and services in the Customer Interaction Management space.
The customer satisfaction index is measured by using statistical data in the form of interviews that is obtained on the mobile phones. It aims to capture the overall, experiential brand perceptions through responses to a limited set of structured questions. The areas that were used for the measuring of index include customers satisfaction, value for money, brand loyalty, brand expectations and so on. Based on the data obtained, the scores are formulated.
"More often than not, there is a huge gap in perception of brand promise and the end-user experience. CINDEX will help organisations bridge the gap and offer corrective measures for brands to improve the experience of customers'. We are extremely happy to partner with Custommerce in this initiative," said V Ravichandar, Chairman, Feedback Consulting, a B2B research and consulting firm that has partnered in the CINDEX venture.
According to Ramesh Venkateswaran, Chairman of Custommerce, today customer engagement is a key differentiator in business. Therefore, it is vital to measure the level of customer satisfaction to understand the position of brands and how they have improve on its different parameters.
Venkateswaran added that CINDEX is expected to raise the bar in business by helping enterprises improve and enhance service delivery level.

Our newest addition to the collection is this 1956 Continental Mark II, donated to America's Car Museum by Steve Boone, owner of Northwest Harley Davidson in Lacy, WA. Steve, who has been a tireless LeMay- America's Car Museum supporter, is a member of the Museum's Board of Directors and the Chairperson of ACM's Collection Committee.
The Mark II is a beautiful display example of Ford's forward thinking in engineering design and attention to quality. When Steve acquired the car he said it caught his eye for its sleek look and luxury interior. "I thought it was just a beautiful car!", Steve tells us.
"Six months ago an old friend rang me and said he had seen the car in a museum in America. This of course started my son Michael tracking this information until finally locating it. It is a credit to those people who have owned the Olds since I sold it in 1981 to Darrell Cawthorn in Sydney.
Recently LeMay-America's Car Museum received a generous donation of a 1958 Ford Skyliner Retractable in restorable condition from Mrs. Barbara Birt. Mrs. Birt informed us that currently the car was not in museum displayable condition but wanted to offer us a car for our vehicle donation program and we could sell the car and the proceeds from the sale would be a donation to the museum.
This 1947 Packard Clipper Deluxe Eight sedan is our newest addition to LeMay-America's Car Museum Collection. The car was donated by Club Auto Member, Christopher Bayley of Seattle. Mr. Bayley states "To me the Dutch Darrin designed Clipper is the most beautiful "modern" Packard. Some of us even think the Silver Cloud I Rolls Royce and comparable Bentley mimicked the look of these cars."
In 2009, I received a call from Mrs. Lorna Burt, wishing to donate her beloved 1983 Mercury Marquis station wagon to the Museum.
Mrs. Burt was downsizing her home, and the family car was an item that she reluctantly realized she needed to give up. She inquired if her Marquis might be welcomed at LeMay-America's Car Museum's Collection. Following our review of the donation, we knew the vehicle would be a great addition.
The Burt family purchased the car in April of 1983 from Bill Gill Lincoln Mercury dealership in Tacoma. It was delivered equipped with every luxury option available on the Marquis at the time. It was obvious upon the first viewing that this Mercury Marquis only had one owner and it was almost like a member of the family. This Mercury had been meticulously maintained as well as garaged all of its life. The original faux wood grain siding looks new, the paint is original and all of the bright work is polished and beautifully shiny.
Mrs. Burt is a graduate of Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma. A former elementary school teacher, she is the proud mother of three children. Both Mr. and Mrs. Burt were avid golfers, and enjoyed traveling around the country in the Marquis. The Burts revealed that their golf clubs fit perfectly in the back whenever they went to tournaments; it was one of the favorite things that they loved about the car. The cargo area also features bench seats which fold up and out, allowing additional passengers to ride along if desired. The tailgate is also an interesting mechanical innovation for the day, a two-stage operation that opens horizontally like a car door, as well as offering a traditional fold down, tail-gate style opening.
Following a tour in the armed forces and his subsequent graduation from medical school, Dr. Robert Burt set up a general surgery practice within the city of Tacoma. On days off, Dr. Burt enjoyed taking his grandchildren out for rides in the Mercury Wagon. All of the Burt grandchildren remember that, when they would ask grandpa where they were going, he would always reply "Oh, let's just see where the car will take us".
The kids unanimously agree that grandpa's car almost always found its way to the local ice cream parlor.

The Snowshoe is a cross between a Siamese and a bi-colored American Shorthair. The first Snowshoes appeared in the 1960s. The breed is sturdy and pointed with white markings on the face, chest and feet. The ears and head of a snowshoe are triangular. The head typically has black markings. The eyes of a Snowshoe are always blue. The Snowshoe coat is short-haired and is white and gray; it can come with blue, lilac, lynx, fawn, chocolate or seal points. All Snowshoes however are born white,...
The bobcat (Lynx rufus, or commonly Felis rufus) is a wild cat native to North America. They are found mostly in the United States, southern Canada, and Northern Mexico. The bobcat is an adaptable animal that inhabits wooded areas as well as semi-desert, urban, and swampland environments. They live in a set home range that shifts in size with the season. They utilize several methods to mark their territorial boundaries including claw marks and deposits of urine or feces. In appearance, the...

Help me find this plastic garden cart/wheelbarrow
I've just checked through numerous catalogs, websites and various forums and I'm still stumped.
A friend has this great flat ended (in the front)small wheelbarrow/cart. It sounds like some others I've seen but this one doesn't have huge tires (reg. or bicycyle). It fits in the back of her Subaru Legacy wagon like the one I just bought. Her mom bought it for her at the Christmas Tree shop or someplace like that for about $30. (I can afford to pay up to about $60). It carries about the same amount as a regular wheelbarrow but is much lower to the ground. I need the same thing. Can anyone suggest where I might find one? I've tried lots of hardware stores, specialty garden centers, A.M. Leonard, and Gardener's Supply catalogs just to name a few. Any help you can offer would be appreciated. Barbara
I found one at Home Depot, it is made by Scotts, plastic looks like a wheel barrel, but lower to the ground. The handle is adjustable and there is a brake that you can use to prvent it from rolling away. it cost $39.It is made for gardening and the name on it is Garden Pal or Buddy, I can look and get the model number for you. Just let me know if you need more information.
it is probably more expensive than what you were talking about above, but there is this wheelbarrow that has a lower front called a "smartcart" or maybe it is "smart cart".

Door hardware online
I'm sourcing door hardware. I wondered if online sources such as myknobs.com have a lower quality product or grey market quality.
Does anyone have any particular success or failure with this site or others like it?
I ordered our door hardware from our local lumber yard. They had the best prices. But for cabinet hardware, I chose a brand & style I liked and used Google Shopping to see what my best deal was. GoingKnobs.com & ShopAmerock.com had the best prices, no tax & free shipping. I received all items rapidly. All brand name as stated & excellent quality.
I just ordered and received our exterior and interior door hardware from http://doorhardwarecenter.com/. If you find a better price from another dealer they will price match. I called and spoke with Michael to get a better price on some of my items. Their customer service is great. I ordered on 12/30 and had most of my items by 1/3. My Emtek items were back ordered but came yesterday. I would highly recommend.
They are an authorized dealer for many of the top brands.

I have ordered several times from a online dealer called Simpson's Hardware. They are an Emtek dealer and had the best prices by far. Plus they have great customer service - when you call, you get Mr. Simpson himself (or sometimes his wife) and they are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I was replacing existing hardware and hinges and had no idea about things like offset and screw placement and such -- they walked me through all the measurements and technical details to make sure I ordered exacty what would fit my existing doors. Everything arrived quickly and in perffect shape. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. I have no affiliation with them other than happy customer.

I actually thought the ratings on this were higher when I bought it. Honestly, I didn't expect much from a white loose powder on my dark brown hair.. But this stuff is amazing! I was using dove dry shampoo before this & while it worked, it made my hair feel so heavy / weighed down with product. This doesn't do that at all! It soaks up my oil, doesn't feel like there's anything in your hair & when you brush it out there's no white cast. Brilliant. Also, I can't imagine going through the bottle any time soon and I got the smaller one.

I have tried so many dry shampoos and have only ever found one or two good ones. This was my first time with a non aerosol dry shampoo, instead the bottle has a flip top and you have to be very careful not to overapply. I had a lot of problems with this product, not least the awful packaging.
The powder is white, and if you make a mistake with application and get it on your scalp, it is very obvious that you have applied it. I was left numerous times with white dots on my scalp. Also, because you basically have to sprinkle this on your roots it uses up a lot of product and takes ages to apply properly. These issues can all be fixed with a change to the packaging.
This does smell great and I like Lush's products generally, but this is not one I would ever buy again.

I picked this up because of the great price. I love Batiste but it needs to be replaced every month and it was getting expensive. I gave this dry shampoo gave at least 5 chances and I am really disappointed. This did nothing to help soak up any grease in my hair. I had to use A LOT to see results if any, so it was hard to avoid the gray cast against my black hair. The smell is great however. It's subtle, and not irritating at all. Overall not effective. I am returning this to Lush.

I live in Alaska where there is no Lush Store available. I bought this online and received two instead of one due to an error I made while purchasing. This means that the cost is a bit more than the $13 per bottle the website states that you will spend.
The product comes packaged in a little 4 oz bottle with a cap similar to that of a regular shampoo. It is easy to sprinkle into your hair and doesn't leave too much of a mess. It's a loose powder so I do try to stay completely naked or only wear pajamas while applying.
The product itself is in a loose powder form (as mentioned above) and has a very tangy scent which are two things that I love. The powder formula means that this will last a lot longer than the typical spray cans that dry shampoo normally comes in making it cost effective (I have to replace those cans every week on the week) and the scent means that your hair will smell clean as the musk is masked.
I always sprinkle this into my roots and wait about 5 minutes to let it work it's magic. Even though I have dark brown hair blending is no issue. It absorbs grease very well.
This product is also Eco-friendly and good for the environment which is something I love as someone with an all natural skin care routine as well. After using Pret-A-Powder from Bumble and Bumble and only being so-so with it this is an awesome thing to me.
Will repurchase :)

Now guys, this dry shampoo is my absolute favorite. I was never a fan of dry shampoos especially because they just didn't seem to work that well. I used to wash my hair everyday because I live in Singapore where its humid as hell and you sweat like a pig and end up looking like a grease monkey.
My mom used to tell me not to wash your hair everyday because its not good for your hair. I never listened because I wanted nice fluffy clean hair everyday. But gradually as I grew older, I understood that taking care of your hair doesn't always mean cleaning it. You strip your hair of the oils and nutrients your body is trying to give it.
You can easily damage your hair by washing it too often and too roughly as well. I will write another post on how to wash your hair well without damaging it as much.
For now, Ill tell you how amazing this product is. With this, I can now go 2 days without washing my hair. It might sound gross to some of you, but it really is the best thing you can do for your hair if you dont want to end up bald!
How I use this product:
I put a little bit on the roots on my hair the night before.
When I wake up, I massage the overnight powder into my scalp, then I put more and let it rest whilst doing my skincare routine. give it about 10-15 minutes to absorb any oil you have in your hair.
Then I take my Tangle-Teezer (you can use a regular brush) and really massage it into the scalp, brushing it and massaging it until everything is gone. I used to just use my fingers and I realized I was leaving white powder on my scalp (NOT ATTRACTIVE). So the best thing to do is get a brush to massage it as it really gets in-between your strands of hair.
I end up with clean, fresh looking hair. This dry shampoo also gives me great volume. I love it!
- Organic Ingredients
- Non-toxic
- Vegan (for you vegan fanatics out there)
- Gives volume as well
- Smells like citrus
- Good for travelling (not in canister)
- Can be put in a different container
- Multitasking whilst getting ready
- Literally LASTS FOREVER
- Helps you save up on shampoo & conditioner as you use half as much
- Dont have to get wet
- Takes some time to massage product out of the hair
- Can leave white powder on scalp if not done well
- Gets everywhere if youre not careful
Things to note when using this product:
Dont wear anything fancy whilst putting this on as it goes everywhere! Its white powder. Easy to remove, but you need to use water so the best thing to do is wear nothing at all and use the powder like body powder/baby powder. Thats how I do it.
Overall for me, the pros outweigh the cons by far. I have never come across a better dry shampoo. I am not a fan of dry shampoos that come in spray cans because I just feel like its so toxic I might as well just wash my hair. This is really the best out there for me. If any of you have a better product to recommend me, please do. I would love to try it out and review it.
Hope I helped anyone out there who needs a great dry shampoo that doesnt try to kill you at the same time.

this is the second dry shampoo I've ever used. I love the fact that it lasts forever! I've had it for two years and I've only used about half. it also works very well in getting rid of oil. My problems with it however is the packaging. the lid on mine broke after about a week therefore i can't take it travelling. I also do not like the fact it's powder because i find it gets everywhere. it goes all over my counter and my clothes. i also find it takes a while to rub all the white residue out. All in all i would repurchase after i finish it, but i will try the Dove one first as I've heard good reviews.

This is the best dry shampoo I have ever used. I have never liked the aerosol cans, I prefer powder instead so this was perfect. The scent is uplifting and really this product is life changing. The price was affordable and it lasts FOREVER. Had it for months and haven't even put a dent into it. The only thing I don't like is the packaging, I find it a little difficult to use. It would have been better of it was in baby powder container so you could sprinkle it but instead it's the same kind of lid that you need to squeeze out like shampoo, so I usually dump some into the palm of my hand and pinch it on onto my roots. Really worth the buy!

This is by far the best dry shampoo I've ever used. My hair is thick and coarse and I wash it every few days, but I find I lose a lot of volume around my crown so my hair can look rather flat. Enter this stuff. Firstly, it smells AMAZING. Very citrusy and energizing. I sprinkle some on the crown of my head and rub it into my scalp. It soaks up the excess oils but gives me a lot of volume. It honestly looks like I just washed my hair after I use this stuff! It's amazing and it's my HG of dry shampoos. Definitely repurchasing!

I bought this Dry Shampoo when I went travelling two years ago because it came as a powder, so I could take it in my carry on for long flights (as opposed to the usual aerosol dry shampoos I have used before). The initial price was a little steep but the bottle lasts AGES- I'm about halfway through now, and I use this a couple of times a week! The smell is delicious- soft and fruity. I have to take care to use only a small amount as I found the white residue can be a bit of a pain to get rid of. And I always seem to manage to spill some on the dresser. But on the whole, happy with this product, particularly after using Batiste dry shampoo which needed replacing every few weeks.

Ok well, i was looking for a dry shampoo for quite a while, since I shouldn't be washing my hair all the time...and so i turned to lush, with their promising product descriptions... don't get me wrong, i love lush so i had a lot of hope for this product. It smells really nice, a little citrusy, and is basically just a white powder which you apply to your scalp.
Ok, first problem. It is SO difficult to apply without getting it all over your bathroom sink, you, or your clothes! They always say, less is more, but honestly the product is so fine in its powder form that you can hardly feel it unless you use a pretty liberal amount. Really messy business for anyone who has regular to thick hair that isnt super dry.
There was a small window of time where the areas where i could get the powder on my scalp felt pretty clean. No greasy or sticky feeling. And luckily, the whiteness of the powder wasn't showing ( I hope... ) so i'm guessing it does do its job of absorbing into the scalp. But after like an hour or so, it all went back to how it felt originally.
Nice smell and all, but honestly not worth the price :-( I heard you can use regular talcum/baby powder and get the same effect, so i'll opt for that next time.

I started a new job a week ago. Does anyone work anymore? There is no urgency, pride, self respect. Friggin' lazy people!! Guys 20 years younger than me have no clue, nor can they keep up. None of them know that my "training" salary is much higher than what they make, and oh yes, I'm their new boss.
There are a few really good people, 30%.
It is so sad. No wonder why we as a country suck. Most want something for nothing. JP

Exactly the reason I'm not opening a brewery, unless I can make it a one man operation!!
People get the government they deserve.
Man, you're preachin' to the choir on this one! This new "Millennial" generation has a serious sense of....entitlement.
"I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off!" - Dirty Harry
I can tell you that the majority of prior military under 30 do have a strong work ethic. I believe it comes from appreciating everything you have, and actually having to fight to defend it. Im 25 and Im proud of my fellow generation, active and prior military; entitled college kids-not so much.
I feel it all boils down to pride. Prior military? they got it. I'm 47 and can work a 20 year old co-worker into the dirt! Not patting myself on the back but when there is work to get done... He's always sayin Eff that, I dont get paid enough for that. I tell him yeah whatever and continue to get the job done. Pride in your accomplishments, even if it's a menial task, it does'nt matter. This is something I try to instill in my son, a strong work ethic.
Why work when osamaobama wants to make this a welfare state where we rob the rich to pay for the lazy?
It is sad really. I do not discriminate. I am allowed to have a minimum age. Just not a maximum. The truth is, in my opinion, the older the better. I have hired senior citizens that could out work a 20 year old. And the 20 year old will not even be embarassed about it. What happened to pride and competition in the work place?
Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
IMHO, opaww nailed this one. Why bother to work when the government will provide everything you need.
Now when the working public quits supporting the welfare state - what then? Like someone's sig line reads: socialism is great until you run out of other folk's money...

"This is a great invitation for a mother-to-be who does not know the gender of the baby and is also not your typical pink/blue, colorful type of person. She is fairly modern and more contemporary so this suited her perfectly!"
"I purchased these cards and added the extra review on them. I was a little worried it would take too long in order to receive them, but they were reviewed and shipped within 24 hours. I am 100% pleased with how they turned out. Beautiful!"
"Absolutely loved this product. Very professional. Appreciated them double-checking for alignment, spelling errors, etc! Arrived when it said it would! Only part I was disappointed with was the envelope. Unfortunately you could see right through the envelope to the invitation. But I did appreciate that they offer an envelope to decrease on postage costs!"
"Loved the design of this invitation. Easy to incorporate the baby carriage theme for the shower as well. Used the modified rectangular envelopes and ordered the solid color back."
"I'm very pleased with how these invitations turned out. They looked great and I like that tinyprints prints and sends them. That saved me a lot of time!"

I agree. I was on methadone for about 8 months and made the switch to Suboxone and it has been great. The Suboxone helps with the pain and I don't have the cravings that I used to have. Find a doctor in your area that will prescribe it to you and good luck with your coming clean. Remember you are not alone here and people will love to help you. If you have any questions please send me an email and I would be glad to answer any questions you have. email@example.com Good luck
