Brunch/Breakfast Pittsburgh
Can someone recommend a good brunch/ breakfast place that serves on Saturday. Looking for something along the lines of coca cafe instead of Deluca's although I would also be happy to hear about a new greasy spoon.
Looking for something new.... I have done coca, deluca's, pamelas, jojos, grand concourse etc.
Does anyone have a favorite spot that is not a traditional go to recommendation in the burgh...
Toms diner on East Carson has great breakfast food, they have the other location in the South hills. What about Ritters on Baum Blvd? I think they're better than JoJos. I agree with the others on Brugge, just be prepared to wait a while for a table. Bistro 19 serves a decent brunch as well.
The challenge is the Saturday part, most of the places I would recommend are only on Sundays. All of my suggestions are plated brunches and not feeding trough brunches like the Grand Concourse. I think Casbah and Point Brugge have been mentioned already and I think do a good job. Currently though, I think Six Penn has the best brunch in the city hands down.
I am a big fan of Drew's Family Restaurant located in Forest Hills on Ardmore Boulevard. They have all of the basic breakfast items very well prepared, and their soups are generally interesting. The owner told me that they leave a pot of stock on the stove every night to make the soups. The breakfast potatoes are really good.

This provider makes Mediacom cable look like an A+ orginization I left them and will NEVER have service with them again. I don't care how bad Mediacom is WIndstream is trash and utter scum of a provider
yes, if you have an option, go ahead and switch. Not only have they always made me wait, it's gotten so many times worse now customer service is a joke. About two years ago they were so over sold in my area, Sin #1.Then where I worked, a BUSINESS ACCOUNT, they provisioned us wrong. I could tell. I have worked IT. I never had over 1.5 M on a 3M account at work, every. I ran software that no matter what time of day I would never even pull a single spike over 1.5M. I then experimented with mulitstream downloads that will often over come over sold accounts. No luck. I could pull nothing but a download that was obviously capped at 1.5M.I called over and over and over. Same routine. They would not advance my ticket no matter how many times I called because they were not opening tickets in my area for limited bandwidth because of known issues (they over sold).I was beside myself. I know what I am seeing and they would not open a ticket.Lucky I knew the local guy, and after I told the story, he looked into it, and within 24 hr I was fixed. I was provisioned wrong. dah...So you think I have faith in them? no so much.--| Speedstream 4200 Modem - 3m/384 plan | W98-W2KSP4-XPSP2 - All AMD | Buffalo WHR G54S with Tomato 1.18 | 3 downstream switches feeding 6 total clients (no wireless) | Including the Data port on the side of my neck |

Adjectives are words that describe or modify other words. They can identify or quantify another person or thing in the sentence. Adjectives are usually positioned before the noun or the pronoun that they modify.
In the following examples, the highlighted words are adjectives:
Some adjectives can be identified by their endings. Typical adjective endings include:
Sometimes when adding these endings changes have to be made. Here are some rules for forming adjectives and their exceptions:
Add | Exceptions | Word | Adjective |
-al | If ending with an 'e', drop it | Nature Function |
Natural Functional |
-y | If ending with an 'e', drop it | Ice Oil |
Icy Oily |
-ful | If ending with a 'y', replace with an 'i' | Beauty Peace |
Beautiful Peaceful |
-ous/-ious | If ending with a 'y', drop it | Mystery Danger |
Mysterious Dangerous |
-ic | If ending with a 'y', drop it | History Rust |
Historic Rustic |
More about Forming adjectives
Denominal adjectives (sometimes called denominal adjectives) are adjectives derived from nouns. For example:
Proper adjectives are derived from proper nouns. They commonly describe something in terms of nationality, religious affiliation, or culture. Like proper nouns, proper adjectives have their first letter capitalized. For example:
More about Denominal adjectives
As well as serving as modifying words like beautiful and big, adjectives are also used for indicating the position on a scale of comparison. The lowest point on the scale is known as the absolute form, the middle point is known as the comparative form, and the highest point is known as the superlative form. Here are some examples:
Absolute | Comparative | Superlative |
This book is long. | This book is longer than that book. | This is the longest book. |
The airport is far. | The airport is farther than the train station. | This is the farthest airport. |
My mom is a good cook. | My mom is a better cook than your mom. | My mom is the best cook. |
More about Comparing adjectives
A compound adjective is formed when two or more adjectives are joined together to modify the same noun. These terms should be hyphenated to avoid confusion or ambiguity. For example:

Garden Photography March 12
While the garden may look lovely, gardeners sometimes find it hard to capture the true beauty of their creations. Meredith French has been an award winning professional photographer for 33 years, and at the Ramona Garden Club's Mar. 12 meeting, she will lead the audience beyond enjoying beautiful images, and through the whys and hows of moving the garden back to one more compatible with nature.
A Master Gardener, French also writes on a variety of garden topics, and is a regular contributor to California Garden Magazine. She often features insects and other wildlife of her own NWF Certified Habitat Garden.
What to do in the garden in February
Care for Cactus and Succulents
Winter growers like aeoniums, senecios and some echeverrias should be in
their growth season. If you want to start cuttings, this is a great time to do
it. Remember to allow cut ends to callus for a few days. If you want to use
fertilizers, you can apply as directed on these plants now. Watering, even for
winter growers, should be minimal unless the Santa Ana winds pay a visit. Be sure to watch for colder temperatures and rain.
Care for Mexican Sage
A favorite of landscape designers, Mexican Sage or Salvia leucantha fills late summer and fall gardens with fireworks in various shades of velvety purple. By this time of the year, these work horses can look shabby and spent. Like many other sages that bloom at the same time, they benefit from being cut back. Continue on next page >
But in this case timing that trim can make the difference between rejuvenating the plant and killing it. Wait until new basal growth at the base of the plant is 6 to 8 inches tall before removing dry bloom spikes and tattered stems. Other plants that benefit from similar treatment now when new growth is visible include penstemon, Verbena bonariensis, Artemisia 'Powis Castle,' and other sages such as S. guaranitica 'Black and Blue, pineapple sage (Salvia elegans) and S. 'Indigo Spires' and the shorter "Mystic Spires'.
Cut Back Tropicals
Inland residents are reminded by George Washington's birthday (Feb. 22) as the time to cut back such tropical and semi-tropical plants as begonias, gingers and cannas. This reinvigorates the plant for a surge of new growth as the days warm. A side dressing of slow release fertilizer will get them off to a good start.
Feed Citrus
To produce a bounty of fruit, citrus trees need regular fertilizing starting this month. Pick a fertilizer high in nitrogen; these trees don't need high concentration of potassium and phosphorous. Consult the citrus growing guide at www.mastergardenerssanddiego.org to learn how much and when to apply fertilizers.
Plant Onion Seeds
Plant seeds of medium day-length onions such as White Sweet Spanish, Stockton Yellow Globe and Italian Red (short storage life) during February for bulbs in late summer.
Fill in with Winter Color
Time is running out to plant winter annuals filling nurseries now, but if there are gaps in the garden, pick some of these cool season beauties to fill them: pansies, violas, primroses, snapdragons, delphiniums and calendula. For a contemporary touch, consider adding showy cool-season veggies instead of flowers. Don't forget the California poppies. They can still
be planted using the ones in six-packs and 4-inch pots. They are striking in meadow gardens.
Don't Forget to Protect Plants from a Deep Freeze
Freezing temperatures aren't unusual in this month. To protect vulnerable plants, start by being aware of your garden's microclimate where cold air is likely to settle. Then make sure the ground around vulnerable plants is well irrigated when freezing temperatures are likely; the moist soil holds heat and helps plants stand up to frost.

FOLEY, Ala. (AP) — Fire officials say two people are injured after an explosion at an industrial plant near Alabama's Gulf Coast.
WKRG-TV reports (http://bit.ly/19e4MRB ) hundreds of employees were evacuated Friday after the explosion inside Plant One at UTC Aerospace in Foley.
Foley Fire Chief Joey Darby says one person was airlifted to a burn center with extensive injuries and a second worker with more minor injuries was treated at South Baldwin Regional Medical Center. No other injuries were reported.
A spokesman for the company says the blast was sparked by an employee cutting metal.
Darby says there was no fire burning when firefighters arrived. Normal operations have resumed at the plant.

Why Nokia's (NOK) Phone Division Is At Risk [View instapost]
It seems that you didn't even get the sense of my last sentence. You can find the COGS of any company on the Internet. But it's just a number without any importance. What is important is to be able to analyse the whole costs and to be able to influence it in order to reduce it. COGS/sales is simply an informative rate that gives you an extremly restricted information. You can't analyse the company's structure, what it needs to improve and how it needs to do it without much more specific and detailed numbers. Even if you have the exact VC and FC you are still nowhere in your analysis. I'm really sorry that you don't even understand that, but somehow it doesn't even suprise me... -
Why Nokia's (NOK) Phone Division Is At Risk [View instapost]
It's going nowhere. You refute microenomical basis, things don't even need to be proved. These are commonly admitted facts and since you disagree with them leaves me no doubt that you've never studied economy and I'm just wasting my time talking to you. I'm not a teacher and it's hard for me to explain you such a basic things especially in English. I'll use the most simplistic economic formulas, maybe you will understand better...
Take a simple total costs function : TC = aq^2 + bq + c
In this function variable costs are represented by (aq^2 + bq) and fixed costs are represent by c because fixed costs is a constant, they don't evolve with production.
So here you can see that the more the production (output), represented by q rises, the less fixed costs take a dominant place in the total costs. On the long term they become completely irrelevant. It's a commonly admitted fact in the classic and modern economy.
Now why Nokia's COGS varied so much in the last quarters? Simply because they go through a long turnaround, that they've been planning for years. That's why there was a spike of costs, that are not related to the production. A normal average company sees its COGS varied strictly because of the VC. Normally they just increase of decrease their output and so they spend more or they spend less in order to produce.
If you want to show yourself even more stupid than you actually are, please be my guest and refute these simple facts. Next thing you'll know, you're going to scream that the Earth is a cube.
Seriously I'm really curious to know what did you study n in which college! I can hardly imagine that you went that far, but who knows. -
Why Nokia's (NOK) Phone Division Is At Risk [View instapost]
Please, stop making em laugh it's getting ridiculous. COGC is called total costs. Now I'm going to try to explain you your own definition, cause you clearly don't understand it.
Fixed costs = relatively constant, varying mainly with size of production park.
It means that if a company builds a new facility, a new office, a new factory the FC goes up. You do it in order to increase the production capacity. Did you hear that Nokia was planning to open a new factory? Their costs can only go down at this point. For an average company FC don't vary in years.
Variable costs = % of output, varying with manufacturing/supplyin... technologies/structures used.
It simply the amount of additional fees that you need to spend in order to produce x phones. Unlike for FC, you can chose how much you want to manufacture and you can forecast how much it's going to cost you. It doesn't vary a lot in time, because companies need a lot of time to be able to adjust their production and so to increase or decrease their VC. If you want to produce 100 phones you need y workers and z inputs, if you want to produce 200 phones you need 3y workers and 3z inputs.
The thing is, when you produce, say 1 billion phones a month, it costs you 30 billions a month and 360 billion a year. Compared with some 100 billions that you spend on your facilities 10 years ago, it doesn't represent a thing on the long term. The more you produce, the less your FC become relevant.
By decomposing the COGS, it is possible to:
- determine the breakeven in volume of sales
- determine the efficiency in the phone business of NOK vs. competitors
Thank you for that incredible definition, didn't think about it that way... Once again, you asked me why this rate varies so much from quarter to quarter. I explained you that companies like Nokia need at least a year to adjust their costs. It can take a year to adjust the VC a little bit and it can take over 5 years to adjust the FC. So the total costs change very rarely. What actually does change in the COGS/Sales rate are exclusively the sales, from one quarter to another. Once again, with the same costs, if the sales goes up, the rate decreases, if the sales go down the rate increases. It's a simple matter of profitability and there is nothing "magic" about it. You see how much Nokia needs to sell phones in order to get its spendings back and as you said you can compare Nokia to other companies exclusively by its sales and costs. It represents a "base" of discussions to figure out what the company needs to adjust in order to increase its profitability.
It's easy so say that a company needs to decrease its VC and put a number on it, but you can only argue about what you need to do in order to adjust the VC, cause the VC is an addition of hundreds of different fees. Each of then can be adjust in thousands of ways and you spend years to study the whole production process and to figure out where every fee comes from and what you need to do in order to adjust it. Don't even dare to claim, especially in wake of our discussion, that you are able to study Nokia's COGS during your free time and with the figures available on the Net. You need years of practice and multiple degrees in order to execute that job. -
Why Nokia's (NOK) Phone Division Is At Risk [View instapost]
It's an extremely breed vision of the industry... Comparing Apple with Nokia makes no sense. They choose two completely different business models mainly because Nokia has been in phone business much longer than Apple and so Nokia uses an older business model. In management 10 years is comparable to a century.
It's a huge back pain to close factories and companies are extremely reluctant to do so, because they always hope that tomorrow might be better and the demand my surge. It takes much less time (a question of weeks, maybe months) to readjust the production in a factory, rather than to build a new one, which takes years. The other problem is to layoff workers which might be very costly and the social responsibility is simply huge. Companies closing their factories take a giant hit on their national image. Companies that sell high scale products directly to the population, under their own brand, close their factories only when they don't have other choice. The other issue is that when a company shuts its factory down they keep it unused. Selling it would only bring about 10% of its initial cost. And by experience, I can tell that a factory that has been shut down for just 5 years needs a lot of work and money to be operational again.
Apple choose a modern business model, they sign contracts with intermediary firms that manufacture their goods. It has its positive points, but a lot of negative points too. They highly depend of their Chinese counterparts who feel that they are in power, since if they decide to break the contract, Apple will be in much worse position than them. So even though Apple is one of their biggest clients, they control Apple. The other issue is that Apple can't control what's happening in Chinese factories and they can't influence the working conditions. There is a huge marketing campaign worldwide asking to boycott Apple products because of the "situation" in Foxconn plants. And of course there is a huge lack of security on Foxconn plants and that's why we see next Apple products over 6 months before the official release. Now I read many articles saying that Apple wants to use its tremendous cash flow to open its own factories in years to come, simply because they see the limits of their business strategy.
Why does the ratio COGS/Sales varies? Certainly not because of the fixed costs. As I said before they take an insignificant part of the whole production cost. First of all, it's a rate so it's supposed to vary a lot in time. If the sales increase the rate goes down, if the sales decrease the rate goes up with the exact same costs. Nothing complicated, just math basics. The other part is the costs and it's very complicated to speculate on them. There are hundreds of factors that influence costs and I don't know why do you stick to the fixed costs so much, but it's the smallest part of every company's total costs. Once again, they only have sense in case of a company that plans to enter a market.
I can easily imagine that you've never studied economy before and it's really amazing how you stick to the COGS/Sales rate and fixed costs.
It's like if you were using some basis one variable math equations to analyze the speed of molecules... -
Why Nokia's (NOK) Phone Division Is At Risk [View instapost]
To be honest, I'm really dissapointed... What else can I say. You can't follow a simple conversation. We were talking about margins. What costs not related to production are not sustainable for Nokia and what do they have to do with Nokia's phone margins? They sold a huge part of their real estate assets, what else to you want them to sell? Their Chines plants? Or maybe the whole business in order to reduce their "fixed costs"? Selling their assets is not what is going to increase their margins or reduce their costs. It's just one time sales that are going to raise some cash flow but it will certainly not make their financial situation any better. As any other company in trouble, what they need is a deep restructure of their phone business, plant by plant, office by office, phone model by phone model. And in order to do so, they need to hire dozens if not hundreds of consultants specialized in management, manufacture, technology, accountability and economy. And that's what they have been doing since Q4 2010 and it will last at least till Q3 2013. While you were learning what variable costs and what fixed costs are, they've been working on a new strategy. And unfortunately for them, it takes years of research to figure out what might be th best strategy to adopt for a company like Nokia.
Could you please be kind enough to share with me what kind of degree do you have and where did you study? I'm getting really curious at this point. -
Why Nokia's (NOK) Phone Division Is At Risk [View instapost]
I don't know where that definition comes from. It's not accountability, nor finances, nor economy... I'm not saying that it's wrong, but it's not the "official" definition. First of all, when you produce something, you aren't necessary going to sell it, so the % of sales has absolutely nothing to do in a definition of costs. It's only relevant when you study the profit, the margins and so on. Costs only regard spendings in order to produce a product. Secondly, the variable costs do vary on the middle term, that's why they are called variable. Depends of the company's ability to adjust its production line. The company is forecasting a demand, that it is going to face in the near future, so they try to fit to that demand and so they adapt their production. By doing so, they might spend more or less for the manufacture. It's all part of corporate strategy and their ability to forecast the future demand.
Here's a link to the economical definition and a basic explanation : http://bit.ly/TGOIhM
I'm very curious to know where did you find that definition. I simply have no idea where it comes from and what it actually defines... -
Why Nokia's (NOK) Phone Division Is At Risk [View instapost]
Once again, are we talking economy or accountability? Define variable costs. You're mixing everything. If you take a plant, the plant by itself and the machines that it owns is considered as being fixed cost. The number of workers, their salary, social security, their working hours is considered as being variable cost. The input, all the primary material, everything that is used in order to manufacture a product is variable cost. The transport, the taxes... All of that is part of the manufacture but it's considered as being variable cost in economy.
I don't know what are the economical fixed costs at Nokia. 95% is the average for a tech company. However, the fixed costs are barely taken in account in economy on the long term. They are almost inexistent in case of companies like Nokia, we only study marginal costs and average total costs in order to find the most efficient way of working. Marginal costs don't even include fixed costs! That's the base of the industrial economy (first year of college). Either you didn't study economy, either we speak different languages (economical and accountant). -
Why Nokia's (NOK) Phone Division Is At Risk [View instapost]
There is nothing wrong in abandoning the ecosystem. There are plenty of them on the market and Android, iOS, BB and WP are just the most famous of them. A company doesn't need to own an ecosystem in order to make the market. I think that the decision of abandoning Symbian only reflects they fact that Nokia is considering to sell its phone division to Microsoft in the near future. Lumia series looks to me like a test for a possible future acquisition. Nokia has been making phones for only 30 years, while its a company that existed for ceveral centuries. They surf on the market, they invest in R&D, they invest in mapping industry and in telecommunication technology. Phone division is more like the weakest link with the lower that average margins at this point. Nevertheless, many companies would like to own this link, cause once again, it's much harder to start out of scratch, rather to own an existing business network. You can't be too sentimental about a business you just need to find a way to earn cash and I suppose that Nokia is very fit to do so. -
Why Nokia's (NOK) Phone Division Is At Risk [View instapost]
However I don't know what did you study in college, economics or accountability. I can assume that in accountability, fixed costs and variable costs have a marginally different meaning. -
Why Nokia's (NOK) Phone Division Is At Risk [View instapost]
I disagree with you completely. Fixed costs is something that the company has already paid for, it's the unadaptable part of the production line. Fixed costs is plants, offices, headquarters, production machines. It's something that the company owns and on the long term it isn't even taken in account economically because the variable costs overcast them completely. So its quiet the opposite, when a comany is going through a turnaround, they adapt their variable costs in order to achieve a better profitability! They layoff working force, they adjust their input and try to find a way to use it more efficiently, they adjust working hours, output and so on and on and on... All that is part of variable costs, while fixed costs only concern companies that enter the market! And once again:
"Forecasting correctly the demand and adjusting production park is the management's first task."
Concerns only variable costs, cause fixed costs can't be adapted at all. Take your old economics syllabi back!
There are engineers in management who work as consultants and who help companies to adjust their production line and increase the production efficiency, reduce the bureaucracy, layoff the unnecessary working force or intermediary chiefs, and so on... I'm sure that Nokia already hired hundreds of them and they already have decades of experience in adjusting their production lines. -
Looking to make its hardware thinner/lighter, Nokia (NOK +1.5%) will have one or more next-gen Lumia devices feature casings made out of aluminum rather than the polycarbonate relied on for current-gen models, The Verge reports. The site adds Nokia is working on two devices as part of an upcoming refresh; one of them, a Lumia 920 successor, is codenamed Catwalk. The 920's weight (185g) is well above that of the iPhone 5 (112g) and Galaxy S III (133g), and has been criticized in some reviews. [View news story]
We can play on words all day. An investment still has to bring you money. The analyst's target price isn't something that I take seriously in my market research. Apple's target price is ranged somewhere between $350 and $1111. Personally, I consider that $750 is way too high. Once again, it's my opinion.
I'm pretty much sure that all these facts are already accounted in the share's price. There is absolutely nothing new that we didn't already know about Apple. Sure, the iTunes branch is extremely lucrative. However, every company has its own equivalent. I think that Xbox Music is by far much more interesting in terms of functionality. With a Lumia you can stream your music and charge it on your phone to listen to it offline and it's free of charge. I think that it doesn't make Nokia nor Microsoft earn any money, but it will take a lot of customers to iTunes with their $0,99 songs. There are plenty of companies offering the same services as iTunes for a lower price, so I think that their glorious days are far behind them.
iMac and iPod are by far the most unbeatable Apple products, even though they aren't the most lucrative ones. I think that no one could deny that fact, but once again, they won't influence the share price.
iTV would be Apple's biggest mistake, in my opinion. When TV giants like Loewe and Philips are planing to go out of the TV business, Apple, with no experience at all in this business, plans to get into it. TV isn't a product that is being switched very often. I read somewhere that the average TV cycle in Europe goes around 16 years per family. Today, if a TV breaks, it would cost much more to have it fixed, rather than to buy a new one. The margins are shrinking and allover the World people watch even less TV year after year. I can easily imagine that Apple is able to somehow revolutionize the TV industry, but it won't bring them a lot of money. People won't buy a too expensive TV no matter how good it is, while other companies, like Samsung will rip Apple's idea and will offer the same features for a lower price. On the other hand, if someone would buy an Apple TV, they will keep it for a decade. It's not like an iPhone or iPad that you switch every 1-2 years. As it goes for me, I think that an official announcement of an iTV would make shares go down.
From a technical point of view AAPL shares are cheap. However, from the logical, market sentiment, trend as well as from risk/reward points of view, I can't consider Apple as being cheap at all. -

Even if I have no doubts either that Apple is financially solid and doesn't pose any threat, it doesn't mean that the stock will necessary continue to rise. It's certain that Apple won't cease to exist, but will it remain an interesting trade in the following years? I doubt it. The market sentiment is mainly negative and very few investors would dare invest in Apple stocks at these levels with all the negative outlook coming from news channels and press. The downside potential is still extremely high. I know a few people who lost over $120 a share on AAPL this year. I really hesitate to invest in AAPL after shorting it since $670 and I don't feel confident in Apple even at $510-520. I think that the stock isn't done with falling yet and somehow I don't expect Q4 to be astonishing, far from that. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that the odds are mainly against Apple, at least on the short term. -
Looking to make its hardware thinner/lighter, Nokia (NOK +1.5%) will have one or more next-gen Lumia devices feature casings made out of aluminum rather than the polycarbonate relied on for current-gen models, The Verge reports. The site adds Nokia is working on two devices as part of an upcoming refresh; one of them, a Lumia 920 successor, is codenamed Catwalk. The 920's weight (185g) is well above that of the iPhone 5 (112g) and Galaxy S III (133g), and has been criticized in some reviews. [View news story]
Today's Nokia is all about speculations, I agree with you completely. If the Q4 results are going to be satisfying I would see the stock at $3.80, if the results will be largely beating expectations (which is unlikely) I would see the stock at $6 maybe even near $7, but if the results are going to be disappointing (which is also unlikely, but possible) the share might slump as low as $2.90. 2013 will be a year of confirmations for Nokia. They will have to show better sales, release new products responding to custommers' expectations and desires, continue their aggressive price policy, reduce costs and increase margins. They still have a lot of job to complete their turnaround. However, only investors have unrealistic expectations, while analysts stay mainly rational.
Nevertheless, Apple isn't in a better shape either. I don't know what Apple's management has been doing for the last years but they destroyed the Apple's myth. Sales should remain good in the first half of 2013, but not exceptional. The product line doesn't evolve fast enough, while new models are released even faster with tiny insignificant upgrades. iPad has been upgraded way too fast and to be honest I don't even see why they did that since it's almost the same as the iPad 3. The difference between iPhone 4s and iPhone 5 are very lite too. Rumours about iPhone 6 already spread all over the Internet with photos and specifications. So a lot of people won't even bother buying iPhone 5, while iPhone 5's supply has just reached the demand! The only Apple products that remain unreachable are MacBooks, however their margins are also the lowest, while an unjustified astronomic price kills the demand.
Most of the people I know switched from iPad to Samsung. The user experience is simply incomparable and you can actually execute every task you want without any Jailbreak or any other complicated manipulation. Personally, I bought a Surface tablet and I love it, I find it much more intersting than iPad or Samsung. Most of people also switch from iPhone. I bought a Lumia 920 and even though I don't like it, because it's too big, the iPhone 5 is almost as big as Lumia, it's just less heavy. However Lumia's features and the specifications are simply incomparable. iPhone has stayed years behind.
Today Apple is being bashed by everyone, tech specialists and analysts. Many European associations launched a huge anti-Apple campaign to denounce Chinese working conditions on Apple's plants and the fact that Foxconn obliges Chinese students to produce Apple products. Every week there are new reports and press articles about Apple's agreements with Foxconn. Apple is the perfect target for everyone. So I don't expect Apple shares to slump under $470 but I don't expect the to rise above $650 neither. However the possibility of a slump are much higher at this point.
For 2013 I think NOK is the best stock to pick if you want to bet on the Smartphone market wars. -

Maybe not the news, but rather an official release, or at least a leak... Be careful, you are getting way too positive about Nokia, don't spring from one extreme to another. Don't lose your objective and rational bearishness, that we love to hate so much! -
Nokia Targets Nascent Chinese 3G Market With Lumia 920 [View article]
I don't know what you are talking about. Microsoft spent a record marketing budget across the world (the amount hasn't been disclosed yet). In Europe their commercials have been broadcasted since early November, they opened presentation corners across every big European city, city centrums, in subways, in airports, commercial centers. It's just impressive, you can't open a newspaper or turn your TV on without seeing Microsoft commercials. I've been in a 3 weeks business trip across the Asia and Microsoft's marketing campaign seemed even larger in Asian countries. To be honest, I don't know if it will increase the sales, but the marketing agencies, who got their contract with Microsoft are certainly satisfied.

Depression is a common illness worldwide, with an estimated 350 million people affected. Depression is different from usual mood fluctuations and short-lived emotional responses to challenges in everyday life. Especially when long-lasting and with moderate or severe intensity, depression may become a serious health condition.
It can cause the affected person to suffer greatly and function poorly at work, at school and in the family. At its worst, depression can lead to suicide. Suicide results in an estimated 1 million deaths every year.Date added: | 10/05/2012 |

Old Lady vs HDTV...Who will win?
I know the quality on this is not great. I had to sacrifice that to stay within the 10Mb limit.
If you want to view the high quality one on youtube, here is the link (remember there is a space somewhere in there)

Rated 5 / 5 stars July 8, 2011
Moral:always read the manual first
Ok,so the old lady's old television stops working,she orders a new one,but there's a problem:she doesn't know which one to put the cord into,she can't work the TV,and then
it self-destructs and then her old TV comes back and then its flatened by the wall.That's
my summary.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars July 7, 2011
It was ok
i liked and i probably would watch it again but it was rather a hair too short and i thought the entire thing was very well made up i dont know if it was me but it looked like the sounds didnt quite fit the timing (it could just be my 5 year old computer) id like to see more stuff from you
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars July 7, 2011
ha, clever.
5 stars all the way, only gave a 9 cause the sound wasn't to good. almost looked like my grandmas house with all the clutter on the walls, cept my g'mas got way more...
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars July 7, 2011
Old lady hell
I felt like that in my 20s with new tvs. Finally started switching to HDMI cables for everything as I felt the need to spend $30 :/
The best part: I hooked my N64 up exactly right and then found out that some HD tvs don't accept the signal of anything pre GameCube. WTF?!?!
Allegedly I can try another way but I just gave up. Bullshit.
Great video, very cute.

Estimating Costs and Benefits of Economic Growth: A CGE-Based Study of Tax Incentives in a Rapidly Growing Region
Municipalities have used tax incentives to attract manufacturing firms to counteract market failures, mobilize resources in blighted areas, and engage in bidding wars with other jurisdictions. These reasons have typically been remedies for regions experiencing unemployment and low growth. However, high growth areas still use tax incentives to manage growth. In these cases, the costs of growth, especially related to congestion, pollution, costs of city services and rising prices, must be compared to economic benefits resulting from a tax incentive. The case study in this paper is based on a proposal to the city of Fort Collins, Colorado by Hyundai Corporation, who requested a $25.5 million use tax rebate. This paper uses a data intensive computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to estimate endogenously the costs and benefits of growth. Results of the analysis suggest an $18.15 million rebate was warranted.Download Info

Pat Buchanan: Leading from behind Al Sharpton
But why, when the fires of anger over the Zimmerman verdict were dying down, did he go into that pressroom and stir them up?
"Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago," said Obama.
But which Trayvon?
The one walking home with Skittles and tea? Or the one who sucker-punched Zimmerman, decked him, piled on, pummeled him martial arts style, hammered his head on the sidewalk, ignored his screams for help and got shot by the guy he was assaulting?
If Obama thinks the verdict was justified, why did he not urge that the demonstrations, marches, vandalism and violence cease?
The President sent his "thoughts and prayers" to Trayvon's family.
Obama moved swiftly off the trial and into a rambling discourse on the black experience and racial profiling.
What is Obama up to? Answer. A law professor, he knows this case, based on evidence and testimony, was open and shut. And he knows Eric Holder is not going to file any hate-crime civil rights charges.
"There are very few African-American men who haven't had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors of cars. That happens to me ... before I was a senator."
"That happens often," said Obama. Undeniably. But why do black males awaken such apprehensions and fears? Is it their color?
The "liberal Sentencing Project organization," says Unz, estimates that "one-third of all black men are already convicted criminals by their 20s, and the fraction would surely be far higher for those living in urban areas."
Obama traced the "violence ... in poor black neighborhoods" to "poverty and ... a very difficult history.
But slavery and segregation were far closer in time to the black America of the 1950s, and poverty was far greater. Yet we never saw crime and incarceration rates like we see today in Black America.
As newspapers avoid the issue of black racism and rarely give the stats on interracial crime, Obama dwelt lovingly on the indignities of racial profiling — without really addressing the root cause.
But Obama was where he likes to be, leading from behind — this time behind Al Sharpton.
Pat Buchanan is a former Republican and Reform Party candidate for President, an adviser to two Presidents, a syndicated columnist based in Washington, D.C., and the author of"Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?"

Stojnić had been trained by fighting for his life on the mean streets of Sarajevo, and even at a height of just five foot ten he brought a wolverine's aggression to the Octagon. This was Cain's first UFC fight to go more than one round, but he got the job done in the second, finishing Stojnić by TKO.

The Los Angeles Times, my usually wonderful local paper, is running an article about eating disorders that, in my perspective, conveys false hope based on an incorrect interpretation of statistics.
Shari Roan's article, "Experts see hopeful signs on eating disorders," has a tagline:
Patients are being treated earlier, spending less time in the hospital and recovering faster, many healthcare experts say.
This statement is interpreted to mean that eating disorders are on the decline.
It's my opinion that eating disorders are on the increase. People who cannot find help or who do not seek help fall off the grid and are not counted. Financial obstacles to getting residential treatment are profound. Insurance companies are slow to cover such treatment.
My private psychotherapy practice specializes in eating disorder treatment for adult women. I receive heartbreaking calls and e-mails from people who cannot find the help they need.
Women call about their eating disorders. Parents call about their children. Husbands and boyfriends call about the women they love.
Young people who do not recover grow up to be adults with eating disorders. Adults have more power and resources to use to disguise their condition.
My concern is that articles like this may encourage the public to relax on eating disorder issues. Statistics provide useful information when the numbers reflect reality.
Too many people suffering from eating disorders are not being counted. And these are often wonderful people who do count in every sense of the word.
The last bit of this article includes the comments from: Dr. Ovidio Bermudez, medical director of the Eating Recovery Center in Denver, a clinician I greatly respect. He said there is no evidence that the incidence of eating disorders has dropped. He added that, to the contrary, anorexia and bulimia have been spreading among populations other than white teenage girls.
My private practice of almost thirty years has specialized in working with adult women who want recovery from their eating disorders. I have long been aware that eating disorders affect more than teen-agers. Thankfully, adult women are now seeking help. We have no idea how many women have been suffering with an eating disorder that has lasted decades. I'm just grateful they are now feeling empowered to reach for the help they want and need.
I hope articles like this one do not present another obstacle to seeking recovery. What do you think? Would this article stop you from seeking help because of shame or embarrassment?

Nashua police investigating untimely death
"It was an untimely death," Sgt. Joseph Molinari said on Friday morning.
A hazardous materials disposal crew and bomb squad responded to the residence around 5:30 p.m. on Thursday over concerns about possible chemicals on the property. Residents were evacuated from the area as a precaution, according to police, who said nothing suspicious or criminal in nature was located.
According to Molinari, the man's death does not appear to be suspicious at this time.
"But it is still an ongoing investigation," said Molinari.

Bumi, Indonesia's biggest exporter of thermal coal, cut the production forecast for its PT Berau Coal Energy unit to a range of 20 million to 22 million tons, from an earlier estimate of 23 million tons, due to rain earlier this year, it said Aug. 9. Bumi is the London-listed owner of stakes in PT Bumi Resources and PT Berau Coal.
Japan, Asia's second-largest importer of thermal coal, may increase purchases by 4 percent this year as nuclear power plants remain shuttered, Australia's Bureau of Resources and Energy Economics said last month.
"The northern hemisphere goes into winter at the end of the year, so there is a restocking campaign," said Daniel Morgan, a commodity analyst at UBS in Sydney who predicts prices may rise as much as $20 a ton by December. "There is a seasonal lift usually every year in the fourth quarter."
Coal's 8.9 percent decline in last quarter of 2011 was the fourth time in the past 10 years that prices have fallen in the final three months of the year, according to IHS McCloskey.
Newcastle coal prices gained 33 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010 and advanced as high as $138.50 a ton in January 2011, the highest since September 2008, after rain and flooding curbed output from Australia.
The potential for higher Chinese demand this quarter is less likely after the country revised down its economic growth forecast to 7.7 percent from a year ago, according to a Sept. 25 note from Barclays Bank Plc, which predicts prices will average $87 a ton in the fourth quarter. China's economy expanded 9.3 percent in 2011 and 10.4 percent in 2010.
Glencore's takeover of Xstrata "is a bet" on coal, said Jeff Largey, a London-based analyst at Macquarie.
"Glencore must be assuming, as we do, that coal remains key to the energy mix for decades," Largey said. "Coal still accounts for about 80 percent of the energy production in China and 45 percent in Japan, and coal will remain the baseload for Japan even as it moves away from nuclear, so globally it's not possible to get away from coal."

John Elway and the 20 Worst Jock Money Flushes of All Time
By David Solar ,
The Denver Post recently reported that legendary quarterback John Elway was recently the victim of a Ponzi scheme that lost the former Bronco $15 million.
Allegedly, Elway and his business manager Mitchell Pierce invested the millions with hedge fund manager Sean Mueller back in March. An ensuing investigation revealed that Mueller had collected $71 million in investments from 65 different people, yet only had $9.5 million in assets.
Elway is not the first athlete to lose millions through bad investments, as every year we hear stories about crooked accountants, thieving agents and a slew of poor investments.
With that in mind, we examine the 20 worst jock money flushes of all time.
Poor Moose. Muhammad was one of the NFL's most charitable players and was honored with the Carolina Panthers' "Man of the Year" award in 1999.
The Panthers receiver started his own charity called the M2 Foundation for Kids, which helps with the development of children.
Unfortunately, M twice is being sued by Wachovia Bank for failing to pay back a debt related to Baylo Entertainment—Muhammad's music company.
Does Sir Charles have a gambling problem? I guess it depends who you ask. The round mound of rebound has lost over $10 million gambling but believes it's not a problem because he can afford it.
When asked about his problem, Barkley responded, "Do I think it's a bad habit? Yes, I think it's a bad habit. Am I going to continue to do it? Yes, I'm going to continue to do it."
Many of you may be unfamiliar with Riise, but he is a terrific soccer player for AC Roma who earns a whopping $75,000 per week.
Currently he is being invested for fraud, as some questions arose about where his money was being invested. The $4 million fraud case is set to be tried in Norway.
Even in a tough 2010, Tiger Woods has reportedly earned $105 million, so how could he possibly be guilty of one of the worst money flushes in all time?
With his divorce from wife Elin set in stone, Woods could stand to lose hundreds of millions of dollars. Looks like those 14 counts of infidelity could end up costing the golfing great more than he could have ever imagined.
Possibly the fastest player to ever touch an NFL field, Raghib "Rocket" Ismail never lived up to the high expectations many had when he was drafted out of Notre Dame. Good thing about the NFL—even busts get paid.
Ismail made nearly $20 million but lost it all due to a series of poor investments. The Rocket put his money into odd business ventures, including kiosks that write proverbs in calligraphy and phone card dispensers.
These bad investments never led Ismail to bankruptcy, but they certainly put a massive dent in his nest egg.
In his 12 years in the NBA, Antoine Walker made over $110 million in salary alone. How things have changed for the former Celtics star.
Walker owes more than $4 million to creditors due to his wild spending after buying at least seven cars (including two Bentleys) and supporting 70 friends and family members.
The former Kentucky Wildcat also had a gambling problem and accrued an $800,000 debt at Harrah's casino and a similar debt at Caesars Palace in Vegas.
Since leaving the Bulls, life hasn't been easy on Scottie. Pippen unsuccessfully sued his former law firm for $27 million based on failed investments the firm had suggested.
He was also found to owe $5 million to U.S. Bank in lawyers' fees from a corporate jet he purchased in 2001.
After making over $60 million in his career, Anderson does not have a dollar to his name and filed for bankruptcy in 2005.
Anderson spent all his money on a $6 million prenuptial agreement and blew $10,000 a month on his "allowance."
The Detroit Red Wing great made the mistake of teaming up with a very sketchy business partner and lost a lot of money in the process.
McCarty owned a 20 percent stake in a real estate company that his business partner used as a personal piggy bank. After taking out a $3 million loan in McCarty's name, his partner forged D-Mac's signature for a $650,000 check.
McCarty also lost much of his money to a substance abuse problem, but he has righted the ship and now works as an NHL analyst for Versus.
Here's proof that men aren't the only people who are bad with their money.
Swoopes was the most successful WNBA player of all time—on and off the court.
She pulled down over $50 million over her illustrious career but filed for bankruptcy in 2004 after a string of bad investments.
The former Sacramento King and Duke standout joins the ranks of athletes after dealing with his own financial problems.
Just over a month ago, Hurley's 140-acre horse farm in Florida was foreclosed on and sold at auction to help pay off $3.3 million worth of debt.
The man known as Night Train is a prime example of how not to spend your fortune.
Lane had a successful NFL career, once setting the single-season interception mark, but spent all of his money before living off pension checks and dying broke in a retirement home in 2002.
Lane lived a lavish lifestyle before losing money in failed real estate and music ventures.
Back in the '70s and '80s, athletes' salaries paled in comparison to today's gargantuan contracts.
A great pitcher like Rollie Fingers only made $8 million during his impressive career and like all these other athletes ended up without a dime to his name.
At one time, Fingers owed creditors over $4 million and had to sell baseball cards to help repay the debt.
Even legends aren't immune to financial problems.
After retiring from football in 1973, Unitas tried his hand at a plethora of varying business ventures. He invested in real estate, bowling alleys, restaurants and more.
Unfortunately, many of these endeavors failed, and J-Unit filed for bankruptcy in 1991.
A real estate-related lawsuit still loomed over his head when he passed away in 2002.
Eyre, a 6'2" lefty, last played a season ago for the Philadelphia Phillies. Before that he had spent time with the White Sox, Blue Jays, Giants and Cubs.
Unfortunately, while a member of the Phillies in 2009, Eyre lost nearly all of his money in a multibillion-dollar fraud perpetrated by financier Robert Allen Stanford.
In fact, Eyre told The New York Times that 99 percent of his assets were frozen or gone due to Stanford's massive Ponzi scheme.
The former Florida Gator and current Patriot may not have surrounded himself with the best people. In 2001, it came out that Taylor's agent, William Black, had stolen almost all of Taylor's $5 million signing bonus.
While Taylor was not the only player that Black victimized, he was certainly hit the hardest. In fact, the incident was so painful for Taylor that he considered retiring after only three seasons in the league.
Once a great running back for the Saints, Deuce McAllister was a salary cap casualty in 2008 after struggling through a series of tough injuries.
While Deuce owns the Saints' career records for rushing yards and touchdowns, there is very little else he owns these days.
McAllister's Nissan dealership went belly up, and the two-time Pro Bowler now owes the car company over $6.6 million.
If only Travis Henry had invested in a vasectomy, he might still have his vast fortunes.
After making over $20 million in his career, Henry finds himself amongst the penniless former athletes.
The former Bronco running back has nine kids...from nine different women. Henry is currently in jail for a cocaine trafficking offense and was once jailed for when he was unable to pay the $3,000 per month child support payments.
Back in 2004, Sprewell drew the ire of fans everywhere when he turned down a lucrative three-year, $21 million deal, saying, "I got my family to feed."
The next year, when Sprewell was solely being offered the league minimum, his agent said Sprewell wouldn't even accept the mid-level exception, as the $5 million threshold was "a level beneath which [Sprewell] would not stoop or kneel."
I wonder what Sprewell would be willing to stoop to in order to pay his family now.
The ill-tempered Sprewell was sued for $200 million by his longtime girlfriend, and more recently the former Knicks and Timberwolves player was forced to sell his home and yacht.
Tyson's fiscal irresponsibility is mind-blowing. The former heavyweight champ made an estimated $400 million yet at one point was worth less than $700!
Kid Dynamite declared for bankruptcy in 2003, and although those days seem to be behind him, the story of his decline is baffling. I'm not sure I'm even capable of spending that much money.
Iron Mike wasn't much of an investor but threw his money away on jewelry, cars and even Siberian tigers. His drug problem and messy divorce were amongst his steepest expenses.
