Billie Eve
CD (Item 604490) MBM, 2012 — Condition: New Copy
A nice mix of singer-songwriter energy and soul from Ayo – an artist who seems to have only gotten more intense since we last heard from her! There's a bubbling power to most tracks here – a way of turning fragile, openly emotive sounds back on themselves – to create a new sort of force – a mode that's a bit hard to explain in words, but which comes through right away in the music! Titles include "How Many People", "Black Spoon", "Flowers", "Real Love", "My Man", "Julia", "We've Got To", "It's Too Late", and "It Hurts". CD features a bonus track – "I Want You Back". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

- Agricultural wealth, including cocoa, and diversification into hydrocarbons and ores

- Further debt cancellation in June 2012 under HIPC and MDRI initiatives
- Fragile security context despite normalisation of the political situation
- Economy dependent on developments in cocoa and oil prices
- Weak investment and governance
Risk assessment
Rapid recovery in economic activity
The economy recovered quickly after the ending of the post-electoral crisis (December 2010 – April 2011) thanks to normalisation of the political situation, increased public spending and renewed international aid. There was a sharp upturn in activity in 2012, driven by infrastructure investment, particularly in transport, and by the telecommunications sector. The agricultural sector, however, is suffering from low prices and a smaller cocoa crop. Activity is expected to be stimulated in 2013 by foreign investment and by a construction boom. The economy is also likely to continue to diversify thanks to the start of operations in new oil wells and a new gold mine. However, demand from the eurozone (more than 40% of exports), given its weakness, will not play a leading role. The occurrence of a current account deficit is foreseeable due to the sharp increase in imports of goods and services resulting from the recovery of economic activity.
In the medium term, the government's ambitious investment programme and the finalisation of key reforms in the cocoa and hydrocarbons sectors augur well for the prospects of an economic upsurge. But these also depend on pacification of the country and improvement in the population's living conditions. Moreover, deficiencies in governance and in the fight against corruption are important obstacles to development.
Public accounts are improving and the country has been granted further debt cancellation
Fiscal results are improving thanks to the economic recovery and the progress made in tax collection, although spending, especially on wages, is trending upwards. After the IMF facilities and a temporary debt relief granted in 2011, in June 2012 the Ivory Coast reached the completion point of the Highly Indebted Poor Countries initiative, which opened the way to further easing of the bilateral and multilateral debt burden. The country also normalised its relations with private creditors, having again begun paying its 2010 eurobond coupons. However, the public debt profile is still vulnerable to external shocks (growth, borrowing conditions).
Although the political situation has returned to normal, the security situation has noticeably worsened since August 2012
Since the post-electoral crisis, the country has undergone a process of political normalisation. Legislative elections were held in December 2011, the first for over a decade, from which President Ouattara's party emerged stronger, despite the boycott of the former ruling party. This party is trying to reconstruct itself after the arrest of its leader, the former president, Laurent Gbagbo, and his transfer to International Criminal Court in The Hague. The national reconciliation process is proving difficult to the extent that only members of the Gbagbo camp involved in human rights violations during the conflict have been charged. Moreover, there has been violence since July 2011 in the southwest of the country, attributed to pro-Gbagbo forces operating from neighbouring Liberia. In August 2012, the country experienced its most serious return of tension since the end of the post-electoral crisis, with the security forces coming under attack in Abidjan and its surrounds. There were further attacks in September, conducted this time from bases situated in Ghana, and in October, targeting a thermal power station near the capital.

Comments about Canon� BCI-24 Black(2) Color(1) Ink Cartridges Triple Pack:
Brand versus Discount ink
By Chef Sun
from New York City
After trying out the Staples' brand of printer ink, I have decided to go back to using the original Canon ink for my Canon printer. It's more expensive but also more reliable. I had initial good results with the Staple's generic, but the 2nd 3rd cartridges clogged up on me. This actually made it more expensive to use. Only big problem is that this ink is no longer kept in stock at staples and must be special ordered.
very good product and very fast turnarou
By Andy
from Georgia
About Me Infrequent User
This product was quick and easy to order.
I'm happy with the 3 in one package.
By D the Artist
from Queens, NY
It would be quicker if the inks were sold in the Staples stores like before and I could buy them right then and there, instead of having to order the 3 in one ink package. But if it can't be done, it's O.K. I don't mind ordering it.
great replacements
By Big Bad Bill
from Clinton, WA
works fine, much better than knock-offs
A Better Buy
By anniesuednym
from Los Angeles, CA
With the multipack, I always have a cartridge on hand when I need it.
Excellent product
By PG
from Columbus, OH
I wish the package came with two color cartridges and two black cartridges, instead of just one color cartridge.
Product works well
By Plays golf
from Maple Shade,Nj
This product does all that it is intended to do and does it well.The only thing is that like all cartridges,I wish that they would last a lot longer.

Canon BCI-24 Black (2) and Color (1) Ink
By Love
from Southern CA
About Me Heavy Duty User
I mostly use the printer to print photos. I have been very happy with it. I'm on my second Canon printer and would probably not get anything else the next time I need a printer. I like the price of the cartidges better than other brands and even though the printer is old and cartridges hard to find, Staples always has them for me. There is nothing that isn't great about it.

The Retail Story Nobody Discusses
Matthew is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Convenience stores are one of the few areas of retail rarely discussed in the US financial media. It is a shame because investors may be missing out on one of the next great investment stories. A company in this space that is very quietly becoming one of the world's largest retailers of any type is Seven & i Holdings Co. (NASDAQOTH: SVNDY), a giant in Japanese retail. Seven & I Holdings' main claim to fame is that it is the parent company of the largest convenience store brand in the world: 7-Eleven.
The business model of convenience stores, driven by the sales of groceries, gasoline, alcohol, tobacco, lottery tickets, prepared food, coffee and soft drinks, is one of the many reasons that make 7-Eleven and others such a great story. Convenience stores are stable businesses selling the type of products that are unlikely to be negatively affected by the rise of Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) and other online retailers. And while online retailers can boast about next-day delivery, many convenience stores are generally open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and are located wherever you are located. And as I will discuss later in this article, innovations made by 7-Eleven have enabled the company to actually benefit alongside Amazon and other online retailers.
Domestically (Japan)
More than any other country on the planet, Japan has embraced the convenience store concept whole-heartedly. 14,231 of 7-Eleven's 47,289 worldwide stores are located in Japan. This numbers looks to increase even further as the company pushes into areas of the country they still have no presence in. Earlier this year, Seven & i Holdings began the process of expanding into the 8 Japanese prefectures (the equivalent of states) which they currently have zero stores.
A large reason for Japan's embrace of the convenience store concept has been demographic changes that have been taking place in Japan. Increasingly busy lives are leading to an increasing annoyance toward traditional retailers, which have caused a decline in many other types of retail stores in Japan. Over the past few decades, many small and medium sized retail stores in Japan have declined in store number and sales. The same can be said recently of larger retail stores in Japan as well. Not convenience stores though. This negative trend among other retailers has been a positive for 7-Eleven in Japan; the rise of the importance of the 'close by' convenience stores in the daily lives of the average Japanese person. And very recently, this trend has accelerated, with a sharp increase in convenience store sales starting in 2008, coinciding with a sharp decrease in department store sales.
Internationally (United States)
Headquartered in Texas, 7-Eleven, Inc. (SEI) is the wholly-owned international arm of Seven-Eleven Japan. This division is responsible for all of 7-Eleven's activities outside of Japan. One of SEI's main focuses is continued growth in the United States. Readers in certain parts of the country might assume that 7-Eleven stores are ubiquitous across the entire nation, but that is not the case. 7-Eleven in the United States is still very much a regional story. While the Northeast and West Coast (and certain states in between) have a large number of 7-Eleven stores, much of the Southeast and Midwest states are without a single 7-Eleven store. As of December 2001, there are 17 states with zero 7-Eleven stores (and many more states with next to none).
The rest of the United States is open for sustainable expansion for years to come. SEI intends to achieve expansion through a series of M&A transactions, organic new store openings and the continued conversion of existing company-operated stores into franchise-operated stores. In Japan, three companies make up 73.9% of the entire convenience store market (with 7-Eleven occupying the largest amount, 36.5%, of the Japanese market). The United States is an entirely different story however. With the exception of 7-Eleven, the US convenience store market is made up of numerous small convenience store operators under many different regional brands. Small operators and regional brands with nowhere near the size and scale of the much larger 7-Eleven. These regional markets comprised of many small or independent operators leave the country's convenience stores ripe for opportunistic acquisitions on the cheap, allowing 7-Eleven to quickly and easily expand into regions it currently has little-to-no presence. Just this year, SEI announced 5 separate acquisitions of 344 convenience stores in 8 states (3 states that previously had zero 7-Eleven stores).
People might not usually associate convenience stores with the word 'innovative', but Seven & i Holdings and 7-Eleven can be accurately described as just that. 7-Eleven has been able to take advantage of changes in worldwide retail, using its size, scale and innovative approaches to prosper. And where other brick and mortar retailers have struggled with the rise of Amazon and online retail, 7-Eleven has been able to profit alongside of these online retailers.
Not to be outdone online, Seven & i Holdings operates a number of popular online shopping destinations in Japan. 7 Net Shopping is one such destination, an online shopping website selling a wide range of product offerings similar to what you would find on Amazon. Another site is 7-Eleven Net, an online liquor store selling many popular brands of liquor, wine, beer, coffee and other food items.
7-Eleven has also leveraged the popularity of its stores in Japan to offer its own line of products. Under its Seven Premium and Seven Gold brands, 7-Eleven offers its products in categories such as packaged food, bottled drinks, wine, cosmetics, personal care products, household cleaners, bedding, kitchen items and stationary products. Late last month the company also announced the expansion of its product branding effort to include Seven Premium clothing and fashion items. These products are sold in-store, as well as online at 7 Net Shopping and 7-Eleven Net (typically priced lower than similar competing products on the same shelf).
7-Eleven has also become an innovator in the retail banking space. Operating in the over 14,000 Japanese 7-Elevens across Japan (as well as online) is 7-Eleven's own independent bank, Seven Bank. A teller-less bank, Seven Bank operates 24-hours a day (every day of the year, including national holidays) through 7-Eleven's network of Seven Bank ATM machines. Seven Bank customers can make cash withdrawals, cash deposits, bank transfers, request loans and send international money transfers conveniently and quickly though easy to use Seven Bank ATM machines. Seven Bank is so convenient that it is now my primary bank here in Japan, which has me personally shopping at 7-Eleven much more often.
With the success of this banking strategy in Japan, Seven & i Holdings could possibly be in the very early stages of a similar strategy for the US market. Today in Japan (September 7), Seven Bank announced the acquisition of ATM operator Financial Consulting & Trading International (Seven Bank's first overseas purchase). The acquisition will give Seven Bank a network of 2,500 ATMs throughout the United States.
7-Eleven and Amazon.com
Unlike many brick and mortar retailers, 7-Eleven has found ways to benefit alongside the rise of Amazon and other online retailers. In an effort to increase the convenience of shipping online orders, 7-Eleven in Japan has become a shipping hub for online retailing. Instead of ordering a product from Amazon Japan and waiting around all day for it to be delivered, you can easily choose to have Amazon deliver that package to your nearest 7-Eleven location (and in Japan with over 14,000 stores, the nearest location is often just a short walk from your apartment, office or right next to your local train station).
And to make online shopping even more convenient, 7-Eleven has effectively become a payment processor for Amazon and other online retailers. As an alternative to paying with a credit card, online purchases can be done in cash, paying for your Amazon purchase at a 7-Eleven cash register as if you were buying a bottle of Seven Premium branded red wine. This is a cash payment transaction that 7-Eleven, as the payment processor, receives a small portion of from Amazon. And while you are paying for and picking up your Amazon package, you are likely to make other in-store purchases as well. Walk in to pick up an Apple MacBook ordered from Amazon and walk out with a bottle that bottle of Seven Premium wine (and maybe some Seven Premium cashews or a box of Seven Premium laundry detergent while you are at it).
Instead of being a disruptive competitor to 7-Eleven's business, Amazon has become one more reason for Japanese shoppers to make 7-Eleven the center of their daily shopping experience. This is now happening in the United States and Europe as well. Announced last year, Amazon Locker is an initiative by Amazon to make online shopping more convenient for customers. Similar to what I just described in Japan, Amazon is partnering with convenience stores, grocery stores and drug stores in the United States and Europe to offer the ability for customers to choose their nearest 24/7 retailers as their online order pick-up location. Thus far these Amazon Lockers have arrived in stores in Washington DC, New York, Seattle, San Francisco and London, with more to obviously come later, making 7-Eleven and convenience store retailers increasingly relevant in the online shopping marketplace.
Although 7-Eleven is rarely discussed in the US financial media, this surprisingly innovative company is quietly becoming the next possible massive growth story in retail. For those willing to look outside the NYSE or NASDAQ, the Tokyo Stock Exchange-traded Seven & i Holdings Co. could provide you with a fantastic investment opportunity.

BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins had plenty of good reasons to want to beat the Washington Capitals in a matinee on Saturday.
Remember, it was the Capitals who, on their last previous visit to TD Garden, knocked the Bruins out of the playoffs in the first round last spring, and it was the Caps who came back from an 0-3 deficit to beat Boston in Washington on March 5.
More? OK, the Bruins were coming off a poor performance in a victory over a floundering Florida team Thursday night, and this was the final home game before a season-high five-game trip that starts Sunday against the Penguins.
It all resulted in a strong home effort in a 4-1 win that sent the struggling Caps to their fourth loss in five games.
The Bruins' so-called top line played like one, as Nathan Horton and David Krejci both had a goal and two assists, and Milan Lucic posted a career-high three assists.
Horton wasn't done with only scoring, completing his "Gordie Hat Trick" with a fight in the final seconds of the second period as the Bruins made it 11-2-1 in their last 14 games.
They moved, at least temporarily, into first place in the Northeast Division (the Canadiens were playing at New Jersey at night).
Horton, who scored his first goal in nine games, No. 8 overall, also set up goals by linemate David Krejci (No. 7) and defenseman Andrew Ference (No. 1).
Rich Peverley then beat Michal Neuvirth off a scramble for a power play goal early in the third period, Krejci's assist on that goal his 300th NHL point. It was Peverley's fourth goal, his first since moving to center after the injury to Chris Kelly.
The only goal allowed by Boston backup goalie Anton Khudobin (32 saves) was put in by his own team, also by the top Boston line.

Both Tim and Mike were enthusiastic leaders, showing considerable knowledge and care for the group. The star was the unassuming minivan driver, Hussein, who was a very good and considerate driver, making the long journeys safe and comfortable.

They brought some pretty funny shit to the table though, I wish the mods never edited the posts, and kept them as examples for the Rules thread.
It was hilarious though, seriously, they got trolled so bad.
I joined in december of 04, I didn't actually start learning how to 'properly' program up until like, last year. I was addicted to strings. lmao.
Rohitab made the site in 01, took a while to get started, but it's slowly and surely getting better. members are always leaving and returning, I think unfunf left for like, 5 years and came back like 4 months ago, I think he has disappeared again though .
The moderators have been here for a decent amount of time, there are a few members who have been here for a long time that are still active. I think im like the 10th oldest member thats still active or something.

Man, This forum was a comedy act, apparently it was started in 2000, but w.e. .
This forum is great, no matter how much shit I have to sift through, there's always a bag of goodies waiting around the corner.
There are a bunch of helpful people on the board too, you just need to do some work and try to learn, and you'll be accepted.
A ton of website defaces from some rohitab members, like usual .
There's been a bunch of stuff that has gone on, pretty much everything you can name.
I think it was f28 who dropped a mysql db by accident after someone hacked a shell server, lmao.
P.S. F28 aimed and he hit the wrong hole aswell.

In more recent events... You forgot the day Dio(AKA BeFair ) joined, To this day in my opinion he's the longest staying 'noob' and brings some laughs to the forum, be it spam or not (Dio: No offense is meant, all in good humor).
Thinking back I look at some of my old posts , I'm surprised I've learned so much from this place and you guys(that's an indirect thank you ).
It's a shame that some of the old members left, Myfix and Smith(Xaiver(can be found in IRC )) are the first to come to mind. But nice that some are also returning, those being Napster AKA Ecks AKA Eth0( ) and EvilFourZero...
If you check archive.org for Rohitab, Then you can see it how it looked back then(7-8 years ago ).
Well that's about all I have to say at the moment , I'll probably come up with some things to add later .
Edit: 1000 posts .

HUD oversees the public housing program, and HUD also enforces federal laws against discrimination in housing. public housing- Housing owned by a local government agency (usually called a "housing authority") and rented out to low-income people at rents below market rates. This program is subsidized by the federal government, through HUD. premise liability- An area of law defining the liability of an owner or operator of their property. easement- The legal right to cross or use another persons real property with the expressed permission of the owner to do so.

Targeting Good Results
Chad is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT) has established somewhat of a niche in the retail industry. The company is expanding its stores that offer fresh produce, and is generally well-regarded when it comes to both fashion and home goods. In addition, the company usually leaves its primary aisles clear for customers, versus its competitor Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) who normally places displays in the middle of the main walkways to squeeze more selling space out of each store. While these displays do offer more selling space, customers many times complain that the stores feel cramped. While it's true that online competition such as Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) presents a challenge, Target is taking steps to insulate itself.
In the company's most recent earnings report, Target showed respectable sales and earnings growth while investing for the future. The company's overall adjusted EPS grew 4.6%, driven by United States results, and offset by investments for the planned expansion into the Canadian market. In the U.S., sales increased 3.5% driven by a 3.1% increase in comparable store sales. The company's earnings before interest and taxes increased 2.9%. Target's U.S. credit card segment reported average receivables down 5%, and because of lower interest rates the company's spread dropped to 9.5% compared to 12% last year. One reason the company's results were not more impressive was, the $69 million worth of loss reported connected to the expected Canadian market entry in 2013. While this investment should pay off in the long run, it hurt earnings results. However, the company is making some changes to their store format that should benefit earnings going forward.
Two Growth Opportunities
Investors can see some of the financial steps that Target is taking to improve results in the future. The company is aggressively repurchasing shares, and in the current quarter retired 9.6 million shares at an average price of $57.09. On a year-over-year basis, the diluted share count is down 3.2%. What was impressive also is, the company generated over $860 million worth of free cash flow and paid out just under $400 million in dividends. With this 45.97% free cash flow payout ratio, Target has the funds to continue to invest in the expansion of their existing store base and explore new opportunities.
While the company is not opening very many stores in the United States, one new growth avenue that the company is testing out is the CityTarget concept. For those who don't know, CityTarget is a smaller format designed for dense urban areas with a, "uniquely tailored assortment of goods." This concept may allow the company to penetrate communities that otherwise would have been off-limits. A second change that Target has been making is, to expand the food assortment at their existing domestic locations. In the last year, the number of locations offering this expanded assortment has increased from 56.07% to 75.68%. It seems very likely that the company's aim is to offer this more grocery-like shopping experience at all of their domestic stores. These new growth avenues should help Target to attain analyst's longer-term expectations of double-digit earnings growth.
I've read many articles saying that Amazon in particular, is a major threat to the survivability of big-box retailers. However, what this theory seems to be missing is the fact that Amazon only truly competes with about half of Target or Wal-Mart's business. Customers may choose to purchase electronics and general merchandise through Amazon rather than these big box stores, but what Amazon does not do is offer most grocery items, pharmacy services, and the same home goods or fashion shopping experience. The uncomfortable truth for Amazon is, many customers are not comfortable purchasing grocery items online. There are multiple reasons, first is customers like to be able to see the item they're receiving. In addition, fresh produce and meats are almost the exclusive domain of traditional grocers. This is not something that's likely to change anytime soon. Also, for many people purchasing clothing requires trying them on. This is why Target in particular has been successful with clothing sales, while Amazon competes more effectively on electronics and other types of merchandise.
Long story short, Target has multiple growth opportunities in front of it and offers a shopping experience that its customers enjoy. Where the stock is concerned, Target sells for a lower P/E ratio than any of the competitors we've mentioned. The company also sports the highest yield, as well as the highest gross margin. With Target just beginning its international expansion in 2013, it appears that the company still has decades of growth in front of it. Investors would be wise to not underestimate this company as their plans seem right on target.

At the end of the amazing film Chinatown (nominated for 11 oscars, won only one incredibly), Jake Gittes is told, 'Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown'.
What are supposed to deduce from this? Is it that Jake is powerless to prevent or challenge what had just occurred?
Is it that horrible things like this happen all the time in Chinatown and therefore nobody cares?

Sheriff Vows to Stop Gang Violence and Curb Cyber Crime
By: Marissa Stevens
Updated: January 9, 2013
A new sheriff is leading Benton County, and he is working to fight cyber crimes and take down gangs to protect your children.
"We're going to be able to focus on our future, set some goals, and try to achieve those."
2013 is bringing change to Benton County, and Sheriff Kelley Cradduck is sharing new strategies to keep kids safe.
"We need to make sure we're focusing on taking care of those problems we know are occuring right here.
Cradduck is hoping to form a Cyber Crime Unit with detectives, dedicated to helping prevent prowling predators.
"It will be made up of four individuals and one supervisor who will dedicate all their time to investigating cyber crimes, so anything from computers to phones... What we need to try to do is not keep up just with that volume, but also what are we doing on the proactive end."
Creating a Gang Unit is also a top priority for Cradduck.
"20 years ago as we started to see a problem that was budding just in our school system, is completely evolved into a different creature now... We're seeing these young kids, young adults, who are having children and raising them to be gang members."
The sheriff hopes to minimize gang-related problems, and protect young ones from following in dangerous footsteps.
"You have more gangs, you have more guns, you have more drugs, you have more violence. That's a fact... We are going to encourage all of our employees to spend at least a few hours a week at whatever school of their choosing, in uniform, build relationships, have a presence and try to make our schools safer."
After working as a School Resource Officer, Cradduck knows students can share a lot of valuable information. He believes information is the key to improving problems in his county. So while Cradduck wants to see his ideas become reality by February, he is looking for approval.
"These are all plans I would like to do, but it is all contingent upon the Quorum Court. I will go to them with the request for all of these changes."
Cradduck believes as communities and businesses evolve, so should law enforcement. Other changes coming to the Sheriff's Office include transitioning to black, unmarked vehicles to improve surveillance and changing to 12-hour shifts to improve communication and give more consecutive time off for deputies.
There are also some other interesting changes, like deputies no longer have to wear hats and they are getting new uniforms. Another change, officials can now grow a goatee for a $5 donation to a charity of their choice.
