I worked at Whirlpool as an intern for less than a year
Pros – -Flexible hours
-80% of people working there is really nice
Cons – -Some people are not really motivating(remaining 20%), no real option to communicate it to management as there is no clear peer and 360 deg feedback option
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

I worked at Whirlpool full-time for more than 10 years

I worked at Whirlpool full-time for more than 8 years
Pros – Great career advancement opportunities but paid a price for it. Fortunate to have some bright and cutting edge bosses who helped me advance quite far in a short period of time. I learned a tremendous amount during my 8 years there and had some memorable experiences.
Cons – Nasty office politics with fighting among departments. Me first attitude among senior execs rather than team first. Borderline unethical quarter-end pushes that never end.
Advice to Senior Management – Allow people to make mistakes without compromising their career. I saw way too many good people lose their career for taking a risk. Fix the fighting among departments as it kills the underlying team's morale. Stop the quarter-end pushes. It is a great company if you are fortunate enough to hitch your wagon to a star but life is miserable if you are unlucky and have boss who is not a star.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Whirlpool full-time for more than a year

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I worked at Whirlpool full-time for more than a year
Pros – work life balance (if you are in the right areas like sales, mktg or finance) allowing to go home at noon on Fridays during spring and summer (not true in all areas though) and leave the office at 5 most of the time
can easily game the review system to get raises and quick promotions (network, sell yourself, follow directions blindly, use the leadership jargon "product leadership", "lean", "winning"...)
Some projects are big and technically interesting. The industry dynamic with the competition from new players (LG/Samsung) is driving change.
A lot of great people across the organization. Can easily build friendship with colleagues and have fun day-to-day (if one can cope with Sr leadership - see below)
Cons – no value for expertise especially if you are a technical person (mfg or engineering). Be ready to get an MBA. no organizational learning - people move all the time without building any learning
poor coaching - little real personal growth - a lot of leaders get promoted before they are ready and thus cannot coach effectively even when they would like to
arrogant management ("we are the best") despite very poor strategic vision ("cut costs and launch good products")
bureaucracy and micro management: little autonomy to make any decision, including hiring to staff a team. must have VP approval for many things
many promotions due to networking/personal relationships not results despite the claim of results-based promotion system (example: poor quality, poor cost, 6-month delay project resulted in a promotion for the project Engineering Director)
Very poor analytics - a lot of decisions are judgment calls. Bringing analytics is looked upon as "being slow" and therefore impacts negatively your rating.
Advice to Senior Management – Bring diversity in your management: people with industrial background and not just sales/mktg/finance. Your competition is now too good to ignore.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Whirlpool full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – #1 in our industry worldwide with lot of resources available.
Very challenging environment that force you to develop and to grow day in day out
Cons – Too many temporary and/or generalist managers but poor specific knowledge and skills at high level.
In Europe shrinking and leaving less and less opportunities
Advice to Senior Management – Your manager level feels that there is no more space for long lasting carriers in Whirlpool
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Par NICHOLE
de NEPEAN
It's a cute dress and the sale price was excellent. Four stars, due to a small awkward zipper. But still, a great price.
Lovely dress
Par Northern Gal
de NL
I ordered this dress in the blue paisley pattern, and loved it so much that I then ordered it in the floral pattern. The fit is very flattering, the colours are gorgeous, and I feel comfortable wearing this dress.
Very nice
Par Shirley
de Milton, ON
I purchased 3 of these dresses at the clearance price... the floral, the multi and the paisley. All the prints are very different and very nice. The top does gape a little, as others have stated. I will probably pin the neckline. Bought them for my holiday in April. Can't complain about the price!

Pretty and comfortable!
Par DIANA
de OSHAWA
I ordered the floral print in size Large (according to the sizing chart, I should be an XL, but I find the XL's are a bit too big for me, so I go with the Large in Lenny's clothes and it's perfect). I was worried about how the floral print would look on me as I'm not a tiny girl, and I was worried about how the A-line would look on me as well as I'm curvy and in some unwanted places too, but when I tried it on, I was shocked! It fit in all the right places! It didn't look silly on me! It was comfortable! I felt pretty! My hubby's eyes nearly fell out of his head when he saw me in it, and I never get that kind of a response from him, lol. Yes, I love, love, love this dress and would recommend it for any size and shape.
Par KAREN
de PALMERSTON
ordered two of these dresses just about 2 wks ago and purchased the brown one and the one with the darker shades with gold/etc. ordered 2x which was more then large enough to give me enough room to move. they are super nice

Cute little dress
Par PWDMolly
de Vancouver Island, BC
This is a very cute little dress and I bought the floral at the clearance price. Normally I am a size 16 and the XL fits perfectly. I liked it so much, I ordered the black/ivory.
You can't go wrong with Lennie!
Par The Dancing Queen
de Cornwall Ontario
I love Lennie's clothes, such a great fit and the quality is there, and his prices are to die for!....another one for you Lennie.....I miss seeing you on TSC ....thank you once again, take care and Happy New Year to you!
Nice Color But.......
Par LindaLou
de Manitoba
I ordered this dress in the blue print. The color was pretty but the dress was not a good fit at all. The neckline gaped open and the shirred waist felt like I needed to pull it down into place. Didn't care for this one at all!!
Love it!
Par teacher
de Thornhill, Ont.
Now I have this dress in all of the prints. It fits well and is flattering to the figure. You can't go wrong for the price either.
Par Sandra
de Scarborough
I bought two of these dresses, one in black and one in blue. They are gorgerous. They fit true to size. The sleeves are perfect. The material is so soft and flowy. The price is right. I purchase dresses at high end store and the cost more. I am 5ft 8 ins and they fall at the knee. They are beauitful.

A house at the end of the village in a cul-de-sac. With no neighbours.
A nice family home with 3 bedrooms and a TV/game room, 2 shower rooms, open plan kitchen and split level living room.
The tennis court is a bit old but very nice despite some funny bounces...
The river is 150 metres outside the property, the spring is close so the water is a bit cold but children still enjoy it.
Horse riding club 300m away, Carrefour City is 2 km away, you can walk to the train station (1h30 by train from Paris).
In the countryside, one hour from Paris, 1 hour from the Bay of Somme (World Cultural Heritage), 1 hour from Chantilly and its beautiful castles, 2 hours from Belgium... In a few words, an exceptional geographical location to connect with the North of France.
Then, between tours to Chantilly or Paris you can relax playing tennis even if the courts are not so new, you will have a good time playing or swimming in the river.

Go Toppers!
Dear BMC Community,
I hope that your Monday has been a good one. This Monday Message is coming late in the day, but that gives me the opportunity to say how much I enjoyed our chapel service this morning. It was a blessing to hear about the experiences of our students who were on mission during the Christmas holiday. Let's pray that God will water the seeds that were planted during these trips to Mission Arlington and to China. Thank you, Tracy, for your leadership.
It is with mixed emotions that I share the news that Dr. Barbara Holland has announced her retirement at the end of the spring semester. We celebrate Dr. Holland's forty years as a teacher (seven here at BMC), recognizing the vast extent of her influence as an accomplished academician and as a mentor to many. Dr. Holland, congratulations to you!
I am happy to welcome Chelsey Griffin to BMC as Data Manager for our Advancement area. Chelsey, we are glad that you are here.
Congratulations to the Topper Baseball team on three wins—including two no-hitters—this weekend over Tougaloo. Kudos to the Lady Toppers Basketball team for their win Saturday over Martin-Methodist. The ladies play Judson tomorrow night at BMC. Both the men's and women's basketball teams play at home Thursday against Fisk. Best wishes to the BMC Softball team for their home opener on Saturday against Williams Baptist. GO TOPPERS!
I'll be speaking Wednesday at the Chalybeate Kappa Kappa Iota meeting.
Ponder the power of this promise as you journey into the week ahead:
And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19

Operation Shylock: A Confessionby Philip Roth
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In Operation Shylock, Philip Roth meets a man who may or may not be Philip Roth. Because someone with that name has been touring Israel, promoting a bizarre reverse exodus of the Jews. Roth is intent on stopping him, even if that means impersonating his own impersonator. With suspense, philosophical speculation, and a cast of characters that includes Israeli intelligence agents, Palestinian exiles, and an enticing charter member of an organization called Anti-Semites Anonymous, Operation Shylock barrels across the frontier between fact and fiction, history and nightmare.
Review:"Roth's brilliant, absurdist novel, set in Jerusalem during the trial of John Demjanjuk, follows the intersecting paths of two characters who share Roth's name and impersonate one another with dizzying speed." Publishers Weekly
Review:"One of Roth's grand inventions....[He is] a comic genius...a living master." Harold Bloom, The New York Review of Books
Review:"The uncontested master of comic irony." Time magazine
Review:"A brilliant novel of ideas...Roth has gone farther into his own genius than he ever has before." Ted Solotaroff, The Nation
About the AuthorIn the 1990s Philip Roth won America's four major literary awards in succession: the National Book Critics Circle Award for Patrimony (1991), the PEN/Faulkner Award for Operation Shylock (1993), the National Book Award for Sabbath's Theater (1995), and the Pulitzer Prize in fiction for American Pastoral (1997). He won the Ambassador Book Award of the English-Speaking Union for I Married a Communist (1998); in the same year he received the National Medal of Arts at the White House. Previously he won the National Book Critics Circle Award for The Counterlife (1986) and the National Book Award for his first book, Goodbye, Columbus (1959). In 2000 he published The Human Stain, concluding a trilogy that depicts the ideological ethos of postwar America. For The Human Stain"Roth received his second PEN/Faulkner Award as well as Britain's W. H. Smith Award for the Best Book of the Year. In 2001 he received the highest award of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Gold Medal in fiction, given every six years "for the entire work of the recipient."

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- A newborn boy left abandoned outside a Huntington home is in good health, police said.
Detective Ted Backus told media outlets the baby is in a hospital intensive care unit.
Backus said a woman opened her door Saturday to find the baby wrapped in a towel with a note asking to provide a good home. He said it appears the baby had been born the same day.
The detective said the infant is in the ICU because its birth information and family history aren't known.
Backus said a search is on for the baby's mother, although no charges are planned.
"We want to make sure her health is fine," Backus said. "She had a birth that occurred, if not at home, then not at a hospital, which can lead to some medical issues."
He also said he wanted to make sure she wasn't forced into abandoning the child.
The Department of Health and Human Resources said the baby eventually will be placed with a relative, if one can be identified, or in an approved foster or adoptive home.

Nature's Gate Vitamin E Oil -- 40000 IU - 2 fl oz
This product is very good for skin
This vitamin E is helping to avoid lines and dark circles around my ayes. Also is making my face skin very soft and light.
December 17, 2013
an essential
this is an essential product for my dry, chapped red skin in winter. I cannot use my favorite hand lotion - Aubrey Organics Ultimate Unscented - without adding a tiny drop of this thick oil to make the hand lotion last longer, otherwise I'd need to apply every ten minutes. This works well with all my other lotions too when I need that extra moisture. It is highly concentrated so a tiny drop is all you need. It will last forever and really has a long shelf life. I purchased a second a while ago just to make sure I would not run out and am still not finished with the orginal bottle after many many months! I never tried it on my face due to my highly sensitive skin though it may work well for normal to dry skins. On the rest of me it's great.
November 24, 2013
Goes on smooth and not too greasy.
Fair price and good value.
August 4, 2013
Perfect as an essential oil carrier
I bought this specifically for some essential oil "recipes" I have and it works beautifully.
I burnt my arm on the oven element not too long ago and applied this directly on the burn with some Lavender and it has healed up so much faster and nicer than previous burns... yes, I've burnt myself numerous times on the oven element.
I also like to use it on my face and hands when they get especially dry.
May 31, 2013
Our choice for baby oil
After investigating the potential long term side effects of the ingredients in the "leading brand" of baby oil, we searched for an effective product with simple ingredients. This is exactly what we were looking for. We initially purchased it for our infant but now the entire family uses it, especially during the winter months.

Notebook: Plenty of Vikings intrigue ahead
Christian Ponder (Andy King/Getty)
John Holler
Posted Dec 31, 2012
The Vikings' opponents for next year are set, but it's time to look at all the repercussions from Sunday's big win in the season finale. It provided entertainment and assessments to shape the future.
Some random thoughts from Sunday's game:
For those forward thinkers who are looking to get Vikings season tickets next year, here is the Vikings' 2013 schedule: At home, they will play the Packers, Bears, Lions, Eagles, Redskins, Panthers and Browns. They will also play the Steelers, but that game will be played in London and deemed a home game for the Vikings. On the road (swallow hard), the Vikings will play the Packers, Bears, Lions, Cowboys, Giants, Ravens, Bengals and Seahawks. In a word: ouch!
Asked if more teammates should get married if the success rate has been similar to his close friend
Christian Ponder
Kyle Rudolph
said, "Yeah … just not me."
Everson Griffen
made a push to finish second on the Vikings in sacks, notching three to finish the season with eight. He lost out, however, as
Brian Robison
came back to record a sack that was critical to the outcome of the game, as it was the strip/sack that caused the game's only turnover.
From the "You Didn't See Nothin'" Department comes this: Midway through the third quarter Sunday,
Adrian Peterson
was ruled to have fumbled – a call later reversed – but Packers cornerback
Sam Shields
recovered the ball and went out of bounds on the Vikings sideline. As offensive tackle
Phil Loadholt
came to the bench, he saw Shields holding the ball on his sideline. He slapped the ball out of his hand. A flag flew. After the game, Loadholt said he learned a lesson he didn't think was part of the rule book.
"I knocked the ball out of the dude's hand, but I didn't know that was a personal foul," Loadholt said. "I guess it is if you knock the ball out of his hand. I learned a lesson from that. I was glad we were able to overcome it and score a touchdown, but I definitely learned a lesson. Don't touch the ball."
Sunday's game may result in the NFL's rules committee to tighten up the rules on challenge flag etiquette. Mike Carey's explanation of the exact same play that cost the Detroit Lions a legitimate turnover didn't cut muster from the moment he started explaining. Packers coach Mike McCarthy started throwing his challenge flag before Carey finished announcing that the rule on the field was a fumble and a Vikings recovery, which, as coaches are slowly learning, merits an automatic replay and can't be challenged. Jim Schwartz was penalized and it cost his team a game. McCarthy was given a break that should be better explained than it was because it's hard to imagine a coach in fit of anger didn't throw his flag until an official in the booth buzzed for a replay to be initiated.
The teams that had the first three picks when the draft started in April are all in the playoffs.
The Vikings deeply impacted three teams in their four-game run to close out the regular season. Their win over Chicago was what gave them the tie-breaker edge needed to keep the Bears out of the playoffs despite a 10-6 record. When the Vikings went to Houston, the Texans had the chance to be the No. 1 seed in the AFC and force the Road to New Orleans to go through the Texans. Instead, Houston will play Sunday and has almost no chance of playing at home after that. Green Bay could have locked down a bye and, if they had to play San Francisco again, it wouldn't be in the warmth of the second weekend in September, it would be on the second weekend in January. The Vikings shattered all of those.
Discussions with a Minneapolis cop assigned to the Metrodome revealed several arrests were made Sunday dealing with counterfeit tickets being sold outside the stadium. The MPD had an undercover unit looking to buy tickets outside the stadium and, when they spotted suspicious tickets, people were taken down. More people were detained at the gates trying to get in with counterfeit tickets – many of whom were duped outside the stadium. Ah, democracy! A note to the kids out there: Never do business that starts with, "Psst. Hey, buddy."
Here's hoping years from now, Peterson doesn't sit back in a rocking chair and say, "Nine yards. Just nine yards." Who cares what the record book says, had the Vikings unleashed Peterson when he wanted be unmuzzled early in the season, he would have gained 2,300 yards.
The wild card weekend will be interesting for those searching for story angles. The twice-in-a-week Vikings-Packers matchup will be an easy get for the Favre connection. The Washington vs. Washington matchup of the Seahawks and Redskins is too easy. The rematch of the Bengals and Texans in Houston from last year's playoffs will sell itself. As will the old Colts heading to Baltimore and pulling the scab off that wound. All in all, not a bad set of matchups.
There was a lot of speculation that Sunday would be a career-defining day for Ponder – for better or worse. Had he stunk out the joint, there would have been a groundswell of sentiment to go in another direction. As electric as Peterson was, Ponder played as big a role in winning the game as anyone. His pass to
Jarius Wright
was as perfect a pass that could be thrown and a pair of critical passes to
Michael Jenkins
won the game.
How does one best describe the look of
Antoine Winfield
's right hand? The Elephant Man meets an allergic bee sting victim. It ain't pretty … unless you consider pretty scary to be pretty.
I get the feeling that Vikings fans are going to view
Blair Walsh
in 2013 like Lions fans viewed
Jason Hanson
in 1993.
The crowd at the Metrodome chanted "MVP" several times for Peterson Sunday, a chant that didn't go unheard by A.D. In many ways, it may be part of the Peterson mystique if he doesn't get it. It might just motivate him to greater heights.

The JC football pipeline to Fresno State flowed last season, when coach Tim DeRuyter signed seven players from the two-year college ranks. This year is shaping up to bring more of the same when a new class of recruits is unveiled Wednesday on National Signing Day.
Three have committed: Snow (Utah) DB Stratton Brown, an early enrollee; Sequoias DB Isaac Brutton III; and the latest, as of this past Monday, Fullerton DB Corey Ferguson.
"I'll sign with Fresno State," Ferguson told The Bee. "Felt like I was part of the family there. Atmosphere was great."
Ferguson originally committed to Cincinnati but changed his mind after an official visit to the Fresno campus last weekend.
"It was just the coaching staff and the players," he said. "Everyone has a bond with each other and that's big when it comes to a championship."
At least three other JC players have shown interest:
Mt. San Antonio College offensive lineman Shaquille Davis reaffirmed in a text message Saturday that the Bulldogs are still atop his list. Davis was on a visit at Texas Tech this weekend.
San Mateo defensive lineman Pio Vatuvei and Riverside receiver Devon Blackmon both recently visited the Bulldogs.
Ferguson said he followed the Bulldogs all season because of first-year DB Curtis Riley, who also came from Fullerton. Hornets assistant Sam Wilson played for Fresno State in 1997-98, and Ferguson said that factored in as well.
"He told me it's great," Ferguson said. "He said you'll love that Fresno State is the only football team up in that area. Fans are passionate."
Ferguson helped Fullerton reach the state championship last season, but the Hornets lost to Butte 28-13. He finished with 20 tackles (12 solo), a forced fumble and nine pass breakups.
"I bring maturity," he said. "I'm a hard worker and (have the ability to play my game at a high level, with high energy."

Yesterday I wrote an article that countered Sam Zell's comments in an interview with Betty Liu of Bloomberg. Zell said:
…there are also a lot of $800 million, $700 million REITs that have no scale, have no liquidity, and I think only obfuscate the clarity of the picture. And I would expect over the next 20 years we will have more and more consolidation as the REIT industry continues to grow.
Zell went on to say that unless a REIT is a big enterprise with institutional coverage, it's not significant. The billionaire added:
Today anything under a couple billion dollars is not relevant and doesn't have liquidity. And in the recent, the reason REITs exist is to provide capital to the real estate market. And you can't provide capital if you don't have liquidity.
I completely understand Zell's argument and while I don't agree that there should be 30 REITs in the universe, I do understand the concept that market share is all about shelf space and you only get a slice of every dollar in the Index. However, if REIT-dom consisted of the largest 30 REITs, there would be virtually no competition and investors would not be able to take advantage of diversification among the various property types and geographies.
One of the things that I do agree with what Zell said is that "REIT's exist is to provide capital to the real estate market." Accordingly, there are a number of small-cap and mid-cap REITs that have provided investors with attractive opportunities and outsized performance. Zell suggests that "over the next 20 years we will have more and more consolidation as the REIT industry continues to grow." Let's hope he is right about that and if you really believe in Zell, it may be time to "double down" on the mid-cap REITs.
It May Be Time for a REIT Rebound
Mr. Market is always looking for value and as evidenced by the REIT results in January, it seems that the mysterious market mover has unfairly penalized REITs. While REITs were either ignored or dumped from portfolios late last year, Mr. Market helped to fuel the S&P 500's rocket ascent last year. However, in January, investors took a closer look at non-REITs and opted to ease up on the pedal steering the ship closer to ground. However, there's more to the story as Brad Case, VP of Research at NAREIT, explains:
The bigger story is that investors are starting to be more reactive to macro-economic improvement and not solely on the direction of interest rates as they were last year starting in May. It's not that the market ignores interest rate rises but improvements in the economy are more important. For some reason last summer investors ignored the macro-economic improvements and focused only on interest rates.
Of course that means that REIT valuations have improved dramatically over a year ago - REITs experienced price contraction (P/FFO) multiples at a time when the broader equity market saw massive P/E multiple expansion. By pricing REITs at more sound levels, Mr. Market has assumed that rising Treasury yields will have a negative impact on property values. However, the public market has underestimated the potential for cash flow growth to offset rising yields.
It seems now that there is significantly more clarity around QE tapering and I believe that higher Treasury yields are now priced into current valuations. If Mr. Zell is right (about consolidation), it's possible that 2014 will see more M&A activity as assets can be bought at a premium to their current share value. We're already starting to see that with the recent merger of American Realty Capital Properties (ARCP) and Cole Real Estate Investments (COLE); as well as the announced acquisition by Essex Property Trust (ESS) to buy BRE Properties (BRE).
So maybe, just maybe, Zell is right and 2014 could be the year of the Mid-Cap REITs.
It May Be Time to Double-Down on Mid-Cap REITs
It should be no surprise that when the REIT market begins to rally it will be led by the institutional buyers that have a much higher degree of analyst coverage and much lower risk tolerances. Alternatively, Small and Mid-cap REITs have always been seen as more risky bets than large caps.
They often do not have the diverse revenue streams or stable cash flows that allow them to weather difficult economic environments (like their larger-cap counterparts). They are also more susceptible to wide swings in price due to lower trading volumes. This greater volatility deters action and often invites selling.
The lack of Wall Street coverage and investor interest can also result in shares remaining undervalued - especially in down markets - for extended periods of time. By "flying under the radar," these so called "less relevant" REITs offer better potential for growth over the long term. Due to the decreased institutional support, there's a better chance that the REITs will result in an underestimation of operational health and growth prospects. As Mr. Zell points out, there will be "more and more consolidation as the REIT industry continues to grow."
Maybe the billionaire investor has offered us "average folks" a clue as to where we should invest our hard earned cash in 2014. After all, I would like to increase my wealth and Sam Zell has certainly demonstrated a track record for making money. If Zell is right, and a wave of consolidation is coming, we need to examine some potential opportunities that we can capitalize on.
Let's start with the hottest sector: the Triple Net REITs. There are a number of "up and coming" REITs that could get "gobbled up" this year including Spirit Realty Capital (SRC), Lexington Realty Trust (LXP), Chambers Street Properties (CSG), and STAG Industrial (STAG). Within the last year I have written on all of these companies and you can learn more by clicking on the names. The obvious consolidators are American Realty Capital Properties , Realty Income (O), National Retail Properties (NNN), and W.P. Carey (WPC).
The next hottest sector is Health Care. There are three dominating diversified Health Care REITs that are creating a wave of a consolidation: Ventas Inc. (VTR), HCP, Inc. (HCP), and Health Care REIT (HCN). Here are a few potential takeover targets: Healthcare Trust of America (HTA), Medical Properties Trust (MPW), Omega Healthcare Investors (OHI), and BioMed Realty (BMR). You can read about any of these REITs by clicking the names above.
Two other Mid-Cap REITs to consider: Retail Opportunity Investment Corp. (ROIC) and Highwoods Properties (HIW). ROIC is a shopping center REIT that invests in three west coast markets (CA, OR, and WA) and HIW is an Office REIT that owns and operates properties throughout the southeastern US.
In closing, Zell's right - most of the Large-Cap REITs are getting the attention as the premium brands are attracted to the "big money" indexed buyers. This strong overall performance, relative to the broad market, has resulted in equity REIT shares that are continuing to trade at more pricey valuation premiums, with the catalysts being durable income, improving portfolio operating fundamentals, healthy capital structures, and the potential benefits as a hedge against, eventual higher interest rates and inflation.
Equity REITs continue to be more widely utilized by an increasingly broader investor base as part of an overall "growth and income" strategy, as opposed to income only. Accordingly, many equity REITs are trading at higher valuations and prudent investors should consider the Small and Mid-Cap REITs that are often overlooked by the Wall Street analysts.
Ben Graham always tried to buy stocks that were trading at a discount to their Net Current Asset Value, oftentimes the ones being ignored by Wall Street and the investing public for no good reason in spite of stellar results year after year. In other words Graham would buy stocks that were undervalued and hold them until they became fully valued. As he wrote in The Intelligent Investor (in 1949):
The determining trait of the enterprising investor is his willingness to devote time and care to the selection of securities that are both sound and more attractive than the average. Over many decades, an enterprising investor of this sort could expect a worthwhile reward for his extra skill and effort in the form of a better average return than that realized by the passive investor.
So in closing, maybe Sam Zell is right. Maybe we're now seeing the first wave of a REIT consolidation. I don't agree with him that there will be 30 REIT conglomerates in the future, but we should never underestimate a man who has turned a nickel into $4 billion. Just maybe 2014 is the year of the Mid-Cap REITs!

Astrophysicist Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson was asked in an interview with TIME magazine:
"What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe?"This is his answer.
"[…] So that when I look up at the night sky and I know that yes, we are part of this universe, we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the Universe is in us. When I reflect on that fact, I look up – many people feel small because they're small and the Universe is big – but I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars. There's a level of connectivity. That's really what you want in life, you want to feel connected, you want to feel relevant you want to feel like a participant in the goings on of activities and events around you. That's precisely what we are, just by being alive."

Rise and Shine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riflJ4gDYI8
"When you are knocked down, you have only two choices; wallow and feel sorry for yourself, or get up, suck it up, and carry on as if no one can beat you. You choose.
Each time you face that choice, you shape your own destiny ever so slightly. If you are on a team, you shape the destiny of your teammates as well. Each time you hang your head and turn down the challenge, it becomes a little more likely that you will take the easy way out next time. Each time you act with courage and opt for the right thing, you increase the odds you will choose well the next time you are knocked down.
In time, you will become a product of your own accumulated responses. If you are courageous and answer each 'gut check', you will become a success long before you ever win."

Sounds as if it depends on your local courts. Some places would have issued a default judgement after the first no-show.
Can't help but wonder if she's going to end up paying $2000 to the lawyer instead of to the site owner. After all, the whole point of small claims is that you don't need a lawyer. (I looked it up once. In a surprising number of states you're actually allowed to have one. Speaking in court, that is, not just advising behind the scenes.)
Moral: Keep the registration in your own name and keep your contact info up-to-date. If it has to be someone else's job, make sure you have a written contract with penalties spelled out.
Then again, she could wait around and grab her-own-name dot name if & when it becomes available.

By Sue Chang and Ben Eisen, MarketWatch
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Twitter Inc. soared on its debut on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, kicking off its first day of trading significantly above its initial public offering price of $26 a share. Tesla Motors Inc. was among the big losers in the wake of yet another fire involving a Model S.
Twitter /quotes/zigman/23556538/delayed/quotes/nls/twtr TWTR -2.37% jumped more than 70% to close at $44.90, living up to the hype that greeted the company's IPO. The San Francisco-based social network company offered 70 million shares to raise as much as $2 billion. Twitter also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to buy up to 10.5 million in additional shares.
Analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald on Thursday initiated coverage of the stock with a buy rating and a price target of $32. "As a large global platform for public self-expression and conversation in real-time, Twitter is a high-velocity and efficient communication platform that is highly complementary to traditional media outlets (especially TV), and as such fulfills an important unmet need. We see material monetization potential for this platform over time, with substantial margin leverage," Youssef Squali, at Cantor Fitzgerald, said in a note.
However, the stock's phenomenal rally on its first day is already setting off alarms. Morningstar analyst Rick Summer said the stock is overvalued given it's trading well above its IPO price. "It's a classic mistake people make of every hot or crowded market," Summer said.
Tesla /quotes/zigman/118681/delayed/quotes/nls/tsla TSLA -2.66% shares skidded 7.5% on the heels of the incident in Smyrna, Tenn., on Wednesday which was first reported by Reuters. A photo posted on Tesla Motors Club forum shows major front-end damage.
Tesla has been in contact with the driver, who was not injured, according Liz Jarvis-Shean, director of global communications at Tesla.
"Our team is on its way to Tennessee to learn more about what happened in the accident. We will provide more information when we're able to do so," said the company in a statement.
Jarvis-Shean added that the fire was a result of an accident and not a "spontaneous event."
SolarCity Corp. /quotes/zigman/13139813/delayed/quotes/nls/scty SCTY -2.84% plummeted 17%, at one point tripping Nasdaq's short-sale circuit breaker. The renewable energy company late Wednesday forecast a fourth-quarter loss of 55 cents a share to 65 cents a share versus a consensus estimate of 53 cents a share. SolarCity reported an adjusted loss of 43 cents a share on revenue of $48.6 million in the third quarter.
Whole Foods Market Inc. /quotes/zigman/80039/delayed/quotes/nls/wfm WFM -0.41% shares slid 11% after the high-end grocer said late Wednesday that fourth-quarter revenue fell short of expectations and cut its fiscal year outlook. The firm projected an earnings-per-share of $1.65 to $1.69 versus $1.69 to $1.72 previously.
Shares of Wendy's slid 11% as the fast-food company said its third-quarter losses narrowed, but revenue failed to meet expectations. The company reported sales of $640.8 million which missed the $643 million forecast by analysts, according to a Thomson Reuters survey. The fast-food chain also said it expects adjusted earnings to fall 10% in the fourth quarter compared with the previous year.
Shares of Alcoa Inc. /quotes/zigman/246295/delayed/quotes/nls/aa AA +0.83% dropped 7.4% as the aluminum company hosts its Investor Day in Cleveland. Presenters include Chairman and Chief Executive Klaus Kleinfeld and Chief Financial Officer William Oplinger.
WPX Energy Inc. /quotes/zigman/7648245/delayed/quotes/nls/wpx WPX -0.44% shares declined 13%. The natural gas and oil exploration and production company said third-quarter losses widened to $114 million from a loss of $64 million a year ago.
International Game Technology /quotes/zigman/230150/delayed/quotes/nls/igt IGT -0.82% shares sank 12%. The slot-machine maker said Thursday its fourth-quarter adjusted operating income fell 22% to 79.8 million.

The group -- hailing from Saint Etienne -- released its first album, Dub Incorporation, in 2000. The album went over well enough to warrant a re-release a year later, in an expanded edition subtitled Version 1.2. The group's next two full-lengths -- Diversite and Dans le Decor -- were released in 2003 and 2005, respectively. In late 2006, Dub Incorporation got around to releasing a live document of their well-known and well-loved live presentation, and finally issued album number four in 2008.

Word in Washington is that an overwhelming majority of Congressional Republicans are now prepared to turn on the White House over its criminal mismanagement of the Iraq War. They've put up warning signs repeatedly, and now they're offering Bush one last chance to appear to be a leader and not a deranged hermit wandering the desert. But Bush, the bubble boy who has little intercourse with his subjects (for that's how he sees a mass who once were citizens) and rarely hears the advice even of his few competent retainers, thinks he still hears the voice of God. And to our nation's great despair, it's actually the voice of Dick Cheney. Bush is like the Spanish tyrant Philip II, the man who conceived such a passionate hatred of freedom that he hurled the Armada at England and sent the Duke of Alba and the Inquisition to stamp out the sparks of liberty in the Low Countries. Philip, as the great philosopher-poet Schiller writes (see Quote for the Day), could not cope with the realities of the world nor with the aspirations of its people; he kept his eyes fixed on a God above—though most assuredly it was a false God, one of his own making, designed for the singular purpose of giving him stability and fortitude—the power to persevere in a cause which was entirely pigheaded and wrong.
So now the latest signs. Richard Scaife, the Mellon heir, and the nation's number one funder of rightwing causes, has a mouthpiece down in Pittsburgh, the Tribune-Review, and here's a snippet of its Sunday lead editorial:
Perhaps Jack Murtha put it best: The Pennsylvania congressman, among the first to make the cogent argument that staying the course in Iraq was the exercise in futility that indeed the war has become, says President Bush is delusional. Based on the president's recent performance, we could not agree more. "Staying the course" is not simply futile — it is a prescription for American suicide…
And quite frankly, during last Thursday's news conference, when George Bush started blathering about "sometimes the decisions you make and the consequences don't enable you to be loved," we had to question his mental stability. If the president won't do the right thing and end this war, the people must. The House has voted to withdraw combat troops from Iraq by April. The Senate must follow suit.
Our brave troops should take great pride that they rid Iraq of Saddam Hussein. And they should have no shame in leaving Iraq. For it will not be, in any way, an exercise in tail-tucking and running. America has done its job. It's time for the Iraqis to do theirs
Meanwhile, Ohio Republican Senator George Voinovich, tells CNN that he "warned" Karl Rove, Bush's brain, last week that, "The president is a young man and should think about his legacy. He should know history will not be kind unless he can come up with a plan that protects the troops and stabilizes the region." A large number of Republicans, Voinovich reported, are prepared to break with Bush over the conduct of Iraq War, and to do so now. CNN reports that in private discussions, Voinovich is not so diplomatic, using expletives to describe the Bush Administration's management of the war effort.
The tide in the country turned nearly two years ago. And now the tide even within the GOP is turning, decisively. If the Republican Party wants to salvage itself, it needs to break with the delusional navigator who has steered the ship of state onto the shoals of a war of choice; it needs to embrace the message of its founders, and find its way back to a position of genuine leadership. Both Scaife and Voinovich have recognized this obvious truth.
This is an important moment in America's political history. For America's interests will not be served by the collapse and destruction of the Republican Party. They will be served by a Republican Party once more worthy of the great legacy that spans Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Eisenhower.

Fungi, like all free-living organisms, are in competition for limiting nutrients. In accumulating iron, fungi are faced also with a trace metal whose aqueous and redox chemistry make it both relatively bio-unavailable and strongly cytotoxic. Successful adaptation to this environmental context has provided fungi with an iron uptake strategy that has three features: it relies on redox cycling to enhance iron bio-availability and reduce iron cytotoxicity; it includes both high- and low-affinity pathways that are mechanistically distinct; and it is autoregulating so as to maintain intracellular iron homeostasis. Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a paradigm, this review summarizes current knowledge about the four pathways by which this yeast accumulates iron. These four pathways include: siderophore iron accumulation; high affinity iron uptake via an iron permease; and two lower affinity uptake pathways through relatively non-specific divalent metal ion transporters. All of these four pathways are directly or indirectly dependent on the activity of metalloreductase activity expressed extracellularly on the plasma membrane. A variety of experimental and genomics data indicate that this resourcefulness is shared by many, if not most, fungi. On the other hand, while the autoregulation of iron metabolism in Baker's yeast is well-understood, little is known about the apparent homeostatic mechanisms in these other yeasts and fungi.

What started out as a 911 call from the other drivers reporting a woman banging on a rear window of a car turned into a police pursuit.
It started on U.S. 60 near Alma School Road on Tuesday morning.
DPS said officers tried to pull the car over but eventually had to throw down stop sticks, and the chase ended near Country Club and Main in Mesa.
The driver ended up being the 21-year-old woman's mother.
The woman claims her mom tried to kidnap her.
The mother could face charges for felony flight.

Format: Trade Paperback, 240 pages
Publisher: Emblem Editions
Pub Date: April 3, 2012
Price: $22.00
In this sharply observed and erotically charged debut collection, Journey Prize-winner Yasuko Thanh immerses us in the lives of people on the knife edge of desire and regret, hungry for change yet still yearning for a place to call home, if only for a little while.
In a story set in 1960s Germany and crackling with sexual tension, a young woman on the verge of making a life-changing decision is sent to work as a homemaker for a farmer and his family while his wife is away. When his dying lover becomes convinced he is being visited by a ghost, a man is forced to confront his own fears about being left behind. In a Mexican resort town where anything goes, a woman searching for a place to belong pushes herself to the limits of love and despair. And in the Journey Prize-winning story "Floating Like the Dead," a group of Chinese lepers spend their last days dreaming of escape after they are exiled to a remote island off the coast of B.C., at the turn of the twentieth century.
Many of the characters in these stories are expats, outlaws, and outsiders, some by choice, others by circumstance. Yet in their struggles to be themselves and to belong, they remind us of our own deepest longings and desires. With this seductive and emotionally compelling collection, Yasuko Thanh announces herself as an exciting new voice in Canadian fiction.
WINNER 2009 - Journey Prize
NOMINEE 2012 - Frank OConnor International Short Story Prize
FINALIST 2013 - Danuta Gleed Literary Award
"Set in various time periods, on various continents, with characters that span cultures, these stories demonstrate a great gift of voice, and an extremely versatile talent. Exotic as Thanh's characters may be, they are instantly recognizable. Their various struggles are heartbreaking yet never sentimental. Not many collections are this colourful, and this entertaining. Mostly, these are stories about yearning in its many and various guises, and Thanh's not inconsiderable achievement is to reveal the universality of the human heart."
—Jury citation for the Danuta Gleed Literary Award (Bill Gaston, Alexander MacLeod, and Carol Malyon)
"Yasuko Thanh's "Spring-blade Knife" is notable for its a rich, nuanced writing style that draws a reader into both the story and the characters with succinct and descriptive words. Her portrayal of a criminal creates sympathy where there should be very little. An excellent example of a literary short story with an underbelly of crime and a lesson about the human condition."
—Jury citation for the Arthur Ellis Award for Best Short Story for "Spring-Blade Knife," from Floating Like the Dead
"Enchanting. . . . Across all the stories of her debut, Thanh exhibits a fascination for often rootless or displaced characters – as well as smart women who are fools for love – whose hungering for transformative experience and surrender to wanderlust rarely produce the expected results. . . . A prize-winner well before the publication of her first book, Yasuko Thanh impresses above all with the thematic complexity of her approach. Coupling a globetrotter's perspective and historical curiosity to that, her stories conjure vignettes of troubling existence, where change is possible but outcomes deviate far from plans."
—National Post
"A fabulous collection of short stories. . . . Yasuko Thanh has this wonderful way of finding exactly the right details to relate in the story to illuminate every one of [her] characters. She then transcends whatever those specifics are to reflect on some greater aspect of the human condition. . . . It doesn't seem to matter where she goes, Thanh manages to get these essential details right and that allows the reader to be transported. . . . Each one of these [stories is] a deeply satisfying read. . . . Floating Like the Dead is a fictional feast. . . .I loved it."
—All Points West (CBC Radio)
"Carefully observed . . . ["Floating Like the Dead"] is a poignant, deeply poetic examination of society's castoffs. Sidestepping melodrama and sentimentality, Thanh offers a fascinating splinter-view of humanity. Her tale is heartbreaking. . . . These stories, written over a decade, are beautifully composed. Thanh writes with economy and nuance, but at the same time, her subject matter is bold."
—Victoria Times Colonist
"Brutal in its honesty as it is tender in its sentimentality, Floating Like the Dead peers into moments of life that we might otherwise have overlooked. . . . Lending each of [her] characters the benefit of her attention and arresting prose, she makes each character all the more remarkable. What is perhaps most impressive is the sheer territory Thanh covers in just nine stories. We travel across six countries and through as many time periods in the slim volume. Equally impressive is the range of narrative styles and voices Thanh is able to inhabit. . . . It only takes a moment for Thanh's stories to drawn you in, but you will be contemplating them for a long time to come."
—Schema Magazine
"Thanh's writing is exploratory, capricious and memorable."
—January Magazine
"Using artfully simple language, Thanh has crafted a story of powerfully resonant emotion with tremendous restraint -- a gift that respects both her characters and her readers."
—Journey Prize jury citation for "Floating Like the Dead"
"Yasuko Thanh is a one-of-a-kind writer who perfectly inhabits the voices of her characters, whether they're living on the margins or in the shadows of history. No matter where her stories take us, Thanh's prose shines with true, living detail."
—Lee Henderson
"A masterful first book: wise, capricious, moving, and exotic. Here's a dexterous hand guiding characters we won't soon forget. These stories show us the many routes of the heart."
—Bill Gaston
"Thanh's stories arrive as advertised – afloat on gorgeous prose, populated by men and women who hover at edge of life's grand transitions. A remarkable debut by an observant and talented writer."
—Michael Turner
"Yasuko Thanh writes with a tiger's eye for detail. Her sentences haunt, images flash like lightning. She is a major talent."
—Wayson Choy
"Thanh often focuses her skills on those near society's edges: the condemned, the fugitive, the lonely, grappling with dislocated identities. The works here glide across the decades, dropping us into small worlds alive with detail, in places as far afield as Mexico and Vietnam. In their variety, they show how many paths lie open to Thanh's emerging talent."
—Bryan Lynch, Georgia Straight
Whether she's writing about the Saigon or the Deep South, Victoria's Yasuko Thanh knows how to lure a reader. In Floating Like The Dead– her first collection of short stories – the author baits each page with a lush cast of characters. From a Texan teen who chooses to elope with her criminal boyfriend to a love-burned wife realizing her worth Than's heroes make her literary debut a memorable one.
—Fashion Magazine
YASUKO THANH's work has appeared in numerous publications, including Prairie Fire, Descant, PRISM international, and Vancouver Review. The title story, "Floating Like the Dead," won the prestigious Writers' Trust of Canada/McClelland & Stewart Journey Prize in 2009. She was a finalist for the Future Generations Millennium Prize, the Hudson Prize, and the David Adams Richards Prize, which recognizes unpublished manuscripts. She recently received her MFA from the University of Victoria. She has lived in Mexico, Germany, and Latin America, and now lives in Victoria.
