Europa (retitled Zentropa for the American release) is an hallucinatory Danish film set in postwar Germany. Jean-Marc Barr plays a young German who aspires for a job as a street conductor.

Barbara Sukowa costars as the daughter of a railroad magnate--and possible Nazi sympathizer. Many of the special-effects…Read More

Here are 10 cities where rents are rising the most, according to data provided by research firm REIS.

Michigan Gov. Snyder proud of health laws, realistic about 2014
LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Gov. Rick Snyder is proud of the substantial changes he and lawmakers made to Michigan's health care landscape in 2013.
Almost a half-million low-income adults will qualify for government health insurance through an expansion of Medicaid. An overhaul of Blue Cross Blue Shield is creating a nearly $1.6 billion health endowment fund.
More low-income children are eligible for dental coverage.
Snyder gives his fourth State of the State address in January and unveils his budget proposal in February. But the Republican governor who likes to move in "dog years" told The Associated Press he's dialing back expectations of major legislative achievements before the November election.
One focus in the new year will be how mental health care is provided and how to divert mentally ill from jail.

Finca Decero Petit Verdot Remolinos Vineyard 750ml 2010 Sku: 1783337
3 day lead-time required to confirm availability Why?
Translated from Spanish, Decero means "from scratch, an apt description for the level of attention paid to viticulture and vinification at Finca Decero. The family has transformed 271 acres of barren landscape in the foothills of the Andes to a beautiful, high-density, thriving vineyard. Remolinos is planted on silty, loamy clay soils and was named after the tiny whirlwinds that thread through the vineyard, keeping the grapes dry. Each stage of the winemaking process is managed "amano, or by hand the grapes are hand-picked, sorted in the vineyard and the winery processed via gravity. Winemaker Marcos Fernandez works with consultant Paul Hobbs. "With only four vintages on record, efforts have already paid off: remarkably wines, sensitively priced. All are made from Decero's sustainably farmed Remolinos vineyard in Agrelo." Decanter Magazine: Argentina's 10 Star Names, August 2011

Core Design Photo Contest plugin
2.5.x.1.1.0 (last update on Feb 17, 2014)
GPLv2 or later
Paid Download
8 May 2012
Editor's Note
- This extension requires registration to download.
I needed to have a photo contest on my website and after a thorough search through the JED and many forums, I discovered that most of the extensions that claim to have the capability only have photo rating feature. Also, majority of them have many unnecessary features beyond what a photo contest needs. I decided to pay a token to download this extension and it gave me a superb experience. I am very glad I did. The developer perfectly understands what a photo contest should be. Also, it is very light but works wonders. Moderation is very simple. There was a little jQuery conflicts with my template (I know next to nothing about jQuery) but the developer was always ready to help and all issues resolved within few minutes. It deserves 5 stars.
Great plugin and great support. Needed help from the developer to help me with issue that i could not submit photos. The support was excellent and he took a look at my site, identified the problem and gave me instructions how to fix and now it works perfect.

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
I am a graduate of Georgia Tech with more than thirty-five years of experience tutoring and teaching, specializing in core academic subjects including reading, writing, grammar, math, science, English, literature, history, politics, social science, etc. I have had excellent results for K-12, ESOL/ESL, SAT/ACT preparation, dyslexia and special needs. My education includes a B.S., M.B.A., and Juris Doctorate in Law.Recent research at MIT has logically shown that one-on-one tutoring is 300% more effective than group tutoring due to the ability to focus on the individual students strengths and weaknesses directly without the constant interruption of the class room environment. After a series of diagnostic assessments, I tailor each subject to the specific needs and requirements of my students, based upon their individual backgrounds and aspirations. If you have any questions about my experience and methodology, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to working with you in the future.

Blues edge Red Wings on Steen's OT winner Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Alex Steen scored just 52 seconds into overtime to help the St. Louis Blues take a 4-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday. In the extra session, Barret Jackman threw a hard shot on net from the left side that hit off of Jimmy Howard and popped out to the right. Steen was able to grab the puck and jam it in for the win. Chris Stewart had a goal and an assist, while Patrik Berglund and Vladimir Tarasenko each scored for the Blues, who snapped a five-game slide. Jake Allen stopped 15 shots in the win. Pavel Datsyuk, Drew Miller and Tomas Tatar all scored for the Red Wings, who had a three-game winning streak stopped. Howard made 21 saves. Detroit opened the scoring just 2:17 in when a right circle faceoff win saw the puck come down low and Tatar snap it in for his first of the season. It was a 2-0 game at the 7:54 mark as Miller fed the puck from the right boards down to Jordin Tootoo, who then sent it back to Miller for the one- timer past Allen. St. Louis got one back while shorthanded after T.J. Oshie skated the puck into the Detroit end down the left wing, cut to the slot and as he was falling to the ice sent the puck over to the right circle for a one-timer by Berglund. The Blues then tied the game on the power play at the 7:12 mark of the second period when Tarasenko got the puck at the right circle and snapped a wrister into the net. St. Louis took its first lead of the game less than two minutes later as Stewart received a lead pass from Alex Pietrangelo and faked to the backhand before stuffing it in for his sixth of the year. Detroit, though, tied the game with 7:21 to play in the second when Datsyuk was able to bounce the puck in off the arm of Allen with a shot from behind the net. St. Louis managed just six shots in the third period, but Detroit had just one before the game went to overtime. Game Notes Detroit hosts Anaheim on Friday ... Detroit played the game without forward Johan Franzen, who sat out with a hip flexor ... St. Louis plays in Calgary on Friday ... Each team has won twice in the series this season. 02/13 22:44:22 ET Powered by The Sports Network. |

Yes, my site was down for a few days in February. I didn't notice it right away, and when someone at work pointed out they couldn't get to onestepback.org I had to wait to fix it until I got home. Even then, I thought it was only down for the day. It wasn't until I reviewed the web stats for February did I realize that it was down for at least three days.
Sorry. It turns out that the copy of apache servicing http requests had crashed and burned. The ssl server was still up so remote access to my mail was OK. I just didn't notice that the http server was down (see, I really was busy). Nevertheless, we now have some monitoring software in place so simple crashes shouldn't cause extended outages any more.
Static verses Dynamic Typing. Checked verses Unchecked Exceptions. The battle rage on (and I've taken part in my share of them). Martin Fowler has some keen insight into the nature of the proponents of each side of the debate. He calls it the difference between a Directing attitude and an Enabling attitude. Directors wish to make the computing environment as safe as possible and willing accept restrictions to achieve that goal. Enablers desire flexibility above (in their view unneeded) safety, and will chaffe unagainst restrictions. Read Martin's writeup, he explains it much better than I do.
I've landed on both sides of the debate in the past. Lately I've found myself on the enabler side of the equation more often than not.
Bruce Eckel has some surprising insight on the use of generics in Java (available in Java 1.5). For those who enjoy the ad-hoc polymorphism available in C++ generics are going to be surprised by Java's version. If Eckel is correct, then generics look like they will be great for making generic containers and little else.
See Bruce's article for details.
Speaking of the Static/Dynamic typing debate, the feedback page for Eckel's Generics article, a commenter is defends the need for interfaces with the following comment:
Bruce responds with a followup article on Latent Typing, but I would like to add my two cents here.
Java interfaces are more about syntax than semantics. They insure that implementing classes have the proper methods defined with the proper number and type of arguments, and that the methods actually do return a value of the appropriate type. But that's it. Interfaces do nothing to support any meaningful semantics about the methods.
If you are interested in language support for semantics, I suggest you take a look at Eiffel. When you define a interface in Eiffel (which Eiffel would call a deferred class), you not only specify the argument list for the method, you also specify the promises to which the method implementor must adhere. This set of promises (the semantics) is called a contract and leads to the concept of Design by Contract.
Even if you never program a line of Eiffel code, understanding Design by Contract is a useful skill for a developer.
And that leads us to our final posting. Artima has published a series of interviews with Bertrand Meyer, the designer of Eiffel and Design by Contract. The interviews are worth reading (here is part 4, you can find links to the other parts from there).
I find that I don't always agree with Meyer, but when I do disagree, I think through my position very carefully.
I've run out of time. Hopefully it won't be so long before I post again.

I'm new to longboarding. I have been borrowing a friends and am loving cruising around Ft. Lauderdale and Miami Beach.
I would like some advice on what to buy. I have gotten so many different suggestions and figured this would be the best place to come. I have been looking at flexdeck and loaded but am obviously open to all opinions.
I don't really have a price range.

My first reaction to this photo was disgust. Then humiliation. Shame. Rage. Sadness. I thought about all the ways I could have looked better. Not taking a profile. Not sitting. Not allowing all my fat to shift to the left. Adjusting my tits so they're closer and my shy nipples are visible. Arching my back. Hiding my arm fat. Molding my body into a better visual.
I know this will be reblogged by people who find me repulsive. I know this will be reblogged by people searching for thinspiration. I know I'll be laughed at and judged and mocked.
I remember, a few years back, when I was braver about my body. When I posted pictures of myself in my underwear even though I knew half the internet was going to rip me to shreds. But I did it anyway. Smirking and shrugging and saying hi to Something Awful in the photos.
This past year I've had several guys be interested in me and then decide I was just TOO fat. And none of them bothered to use any kindness in telling me so. I've slowly curled inwards. Back to yanking down my sleeves and wishing I were different.
This is a new year. I'm going to love myself and accept my body, no matter how much it changes and shifts as it tries to find its home.
I saved this picture. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because it's the only self-taken photo in which I'm not trying. Not trying to look better. Not trying to hide anything. It's raw and vulnerable.
It's honest.
And it's me.
ETA: I looked at this photo so many times while debating posting it that it no longer strikes me as disgusting or shameful. It's just my body. Nothing more and nothing less. I need to take more pictures of myself so I can increase this feeling of non-judgment. (Well hello there, normalization! It's been awhile since I remembered why you're so important!)
in case anyone was wondering here are the lyrics to the song my band wrote at queer rock camp. it's called ~*~cookies r 4evr~*~ by sandy thong and the butt sluts:
walkin through the grocery store the other day
a big nasty dude got in my way
he grabbed the last pizza
i really wanna eat some
he told me i was fat
i won't put up with that
junk food!
no dudes!
kill the dude that takes yr food!
lookin in the ice cream isle to try again
but another pack of bros came up and then
all the ice cream went away
looks like these bros are gonna pay
he tried to touch my butt
i punched him in the nuts
rode my bike down the street to the burger shack
but the men from before keep coming back
they're eating all the burgers
now it's time to murder
we won't ever diet
this is a junk food riot
ice cream, french fries, candy, chips
rollos, doughnuts, nacho dip
burgers, twizzlers, bacon, snacks
now these dudes ain't comin back
CHORUS x2

Hi: 12° Lo:1° 7 day
WORK to revamp one of Coventry city centre's main junctions is set to begin.
The junction between Little Park Street and New Union Street will see traffic lights removed, pavements widened and the road narrowed.
Council chiefs claim it will make the junction safer, more efficient and more attractive.
It follows two controversial 'shared-space' junctions being built in the city centre.
Work begins early next month with other features including tree plantings, zebra crossings and removal of the right turn restriction into New Union Street from Little Park Street.
A roundabout will also be installed at the junction of Warwick Road and Greyfriars Road.
The work, estimated to last 13 weeks, makes up part of £2.8 million investment into roads over the next year.
It follows a swathe of changes last year including the removal of traffic from Broadgate.
Coun Lindsley Harvard, cabinet member for City Services, said it would make the area more pedestrian friendly and pleasing to the eye as well as improving traffic flow.
"The work we did last year removing traffic lights from a number of junctions resulted in cars and buses moving more freely around other parts of the city centre, only to be held up by a complicated light sequence by the police station in Little Park Street," he said.
"Installation of a new roundabout like that at the Greyfriars Road, Warwick Road junction will greatly improve traffic flows whilst two new zebra crossings with central refuges, narrowed carriageways and wider pavements are designed to make the area more pedestrian friendly.
"There will be some disruption but that's the great thing about our ring road – there are other ways drivers can access the city centre to avoid delays."

Kids shopping day at Thrift Store
Kids shopping day at Thrift Store Volunteers at the Presho Thrift Store n More will hold a free kids' shopping event at the store Saturday, Dec. 8 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm to allow area youth the opportunity to Christmas shop for family members.
Youth of all ages are invited to bring a list of the people they want to shop for. "Gift suggestions and appropriate sizes for parents and siblings would be helpful," said Thrift Store board member Teresa Hanson.
Hanson stated that parents or guardians may drop their children off at the store to shop and pick them up after they have completed their purchases and had their gifts wrapped. With the holidays near, Hanson said donations to the food pantry, along with other holiday items such as wrapping paper, tape, decorations and other gently used items that would make nice gifts are needed.
The Thrift Store will provide holiday food baskets and certificates to those in need prior to Christmas. Gently used clothing, shoes, boots and household items are always welcomed and appreciated at the Thrift Store as are volunteers who can donate their time to the store.

Gynecologist's Assistant
A retired man went into the Job Center in Downtown Denver, and saw a card advertising for a Gynecologist's Assistant. Interested, he went in and asked the clerk for details. The clerk pulled up the file and read; "The job entails getting the ladies ready for the gynecologist. You have to help the women out of their underwear, lay them down and carefully wash their private regions, then apply shaving foam and gently shave off the hair, then rub in soothing oils so they're ready for the gynecologist's examination. The annual salary is $65,000, and you'll have to go to Billings, Montana." "Good grief . . . is that where the job is?" "No sir . . . that's where the end of the line is right now." |

The New York Times has just published a fascinating article about the town of Cornelius, N.C. (pop. 25,000), which has replaced town council paper work with iPads, swapping printing endless piles of meeting agenda packages with iPads for the towns commissioners. Speaking to the Times, along with police chief Bence Hoyle, town manager Anthony Roberts explained why the town council had made the decision. Roberts said that for each meeting, 20 agendas at 200 pages per agenda would have to be printed up, making 4,000 pages per meeting, which would then be recycled. And aside from those printing and paper costs, simply putting the agendas together took eight hours per agenda, with changes often having to be made. Chief Hoyle also added that each agenda would have to be delivered to the town commissioners by the Police Department to ensure that they got it in time.
We see it as a money-saving measure. We see it as saving our taxpayers money, Roberts told the Times, going on to explain that the town owns 16 iPads in total, which are given to the department heads, mayor, board members, town clerk, finance director, police chief and the I.T. team. Roberts didnt give a figure as to how much money exactly the town would be saving, but he estimated that the town would have saved the $8,000 spent on the iPads in approximately a year and a half.

Ten Things to Do Before This Article Is Finished by Alex Williams
August 26, 2007 - ''People are dying to make this list, and most haven't been given a chance since grade school,'' said Josh Petersen, a founder of the Robot Co-op, a Seattle company that runs the Web site 43Things.com, which since 2004 has enrolled 1.2 million members who post customized life lists, find others with similar goals and encourage one another to check them off. Sky diving ranks 24th in popularity; losing weight, unsurprisingly, is first. ''Pull a prank involving 100 lawn gnomes'' is a goal shared by 65 members. ''In school you're asked, 'What do want to be when grow up?' '' Mr. Petersen said. ''Then people stop asking the question.'' Read article...Making a 'bucket list' before you kick by Cathy Lynn Grossman and Laura Bly
January 14, 2008 - Most accomplishments on people's lists are more personal On the website 43Things.com, where 1.2 million people have posted their personal lists in the past three years, according to The New York Times, the top goal is losing weight. Genny Scott, 49, who works at the county jail in Goldendale, Wash., most wants to "learn to scuba dive and see the Great Barrier Reef in person. I've never been anywhere that the ocean is warm enough to stick your toes in." She also wants to research her family roots, swim with dolphins and become a nature biologist. One item she's already started: working on a novel, she says. "So that's not totally unattainable." Read article...In The New Game Of Tag, All Of Us Are It by Steven Levy
April 18, 2005 - That process is also at work on a Web site called 43 Things, where people express their goals, tag them and comment and commiserate on the goals of others. It turns out that a lot of people on the site read a book called "Getting Things Done." When someone came up with the idea of making a tag called "GTD," others recognized that the abbreviation was an ideal label, and thereafter anyone who posted a goal inspired by that book stuck a GTD tag on it. That's a classic example of how the group effort of tagging can discover its own kind of compelling logic. Tagging enthusiasts call such systems "folksonomies." Read article...Making Your List, Checking It Twice by Kathleen McGowan
January 27, 2006 - Here are the top five resolutions named by the members of com.43thingsand a few suggestions for how to tackle them. 5. Be happy. The surest way to be happy is not to focus on riches or success; the science of positive psychology has shown that focusing on relationships, rather than material goods, provides lasting pleasure. Volunteering breeds happiness, as do good social skills and solid networks of friends. If you're going to spend money, experiences (travel, entertainment and so forth) usually bring more pleasure than objects. 4. Fall in love. This is a perfect example of a goal that absolutely must be broken down into smaller pieces. Before you can fall in love, you need to someone meetand if you're looking to meet someone, flirting is a big step in the right direction. Research in the science of flirting shows that two-thirds of the time, it's women who take the lead. She lets the man know she's interested through glances, laughter, smiling and welcoming body language. After that, it's give-and-take. A successful flirtation is like a pas de deux: each mirrors the other's body language, creating a synergy. For more details on the dance, try Love Signals: A Practical Field Guide to the Body Language of Courtship, by David Givens, Ph.D. Read article...'43 Things': The world's to-do list by Jim Regan
June 7, 2005 - We all go through life with our own personal 'to do' lists. Not just the ephemeral goals like picking up the dry cleaning or alphabetizing the garbage, but the larger ambitions, like buying a home, starting a business, or sorting out that whole Cold Fusion muddle. I have my own list, including, for example, seeing Ireland (partly for cultural reasons, partly because I've been told it's an ideal country to tour on a motorcycle), and I might occasionally share some of those intentions with friends - but it frankly never would have occurred to me to share them with the entire wired planet. More than 20,000 world citizens have taken that route, however, and the resulting catalog of almost 100,000 assorted ambitions is available for inspiration and entertainment at 43 Things. Read article...Stop, chat, go by Oliver Burkeman
November 4, 2006 - I have become obsessed, although hopefully not in the clinical sense, with 43Things.com, a website where people reveal 43 goals they want to achieve, then find others with the same dreams and spur each other on. It's a mesmerising glimpse into the world's collective yearnings, which turn out to encompass everything from the overarchingly ambitious ("have a completely different life by this time next year") to the poignant ("stop hating myself") and the mundane ("return my overdue library books"). Others on the front page included "get laid", "go to Antarctica" and "destroy Christianity", though I think it might be problematic to attempt all three at once. Then there was the one that kept catching my eye: more than 300 people had decided that one crucial way to improve their lives would be to start talking to strangers. Read article...Living your bucket list by Marc Ramirez
January 27, 2008 - These are life's ultimate to-do lists, lists that transcend the clutter on your office desk and give meaning to your existence. One popular Web site, 43Things.com, lets users post their own lists, with items both frank and fanciful, such as: Donate blood. Kiss in the rain. Go to Italy. Continuing with the recently opened film, "The Bucket List," in which two terminally ill old-timers (played by Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman) set out to achieve their own, such lists have taken on added urgency, one that's all the rage.

Penelope May and I hiked up the SW Couloir from our car, parked at Lupine Meadows. I took us a little over 11 hours RT. Found a lot of boulder and talus hopping, large ammounts of scree to cross and fairly long distance to the summit. But the views along the way were wonderful. | ||

I never get tired of climbing this mountain. It's a great climb with a awesome view of the Grand. First time there the couloir was icy and filled with snow. It was a challenge to climb. Second time we had white-out conditions on the summit. Third time we had perfect weather and climbed it with the South Teton in one day. | ||

Climbed solo. Technically an easy climb, but physically very challenging as a day hike. An an incredible view from the top, and an incredible experience all around. | ||

Andinistaloco | Route Climbed: Glacier route Date Climbed: fall 2003 | |
This was a good climb - although it might've been better if we'd made a high camp instead of doing car-to-car. The glacier's a lot of fun - a few pitches of snow and ice that aren't too steep. Above the rock work is mid 5th class at the hardest if you're on route. Meaning, if it's harder, you're off route! I think this one would be better earlier on in the season, when the upper portion of the route is covered with snow or ice - the mixed climbing sucked some serious time out of our schedule and we ended up stomping out in the dark. Luckily the Village Inn in Jackson was still open for an 11pm grease-fest.... | ||

I used to be a camp counselor at a Boy Scout Camp on the west side of the Tetons. Each year, at the end of the season, we counselors would hike the Middle Teton. We'd leave our musty tents in Teton Canyon in the middle of the night, cram into a junker van and a couple of station wagons, and depart Lupine Meadows well before dawn. We knew we had to be on the summit and down before the afternoon thunderheads rolled in from the Idaho desert. No ropes, no helmets, no ice axes. Just hiking boots, shorts, a water bottle and a cheese sandwich, and the fitness that came from the preceding weeks of hiking, backpacking, swimming and running. The snow was always just right to kick steps in on the way up, and soft enough to safely glissade while going down. I remember downclimbing from the summit on easy 3d class past a couple of guys, all decked out in brand new, bright blue matching shells and pants, with "The North Face" plastered across their chests. They were rappelling, and their faces bore the serious look of hard men doing man's work in a dangerous, manly environment. Their expressions changed to one best described as "mightily annoyed" as the Boy Scouts tripped past, intent on getting down to the thousands of feet of fabulously fun boot-and-butt sliding on the early afternoon snow, on a late summer day in the Tetons. | ||

Fun climb - except for the weather. Forecast called for mostly sunny skies with chance of late afternoon thunderstorms (sound familiar?). Awoke at camp in Meadows with very overcast skies. Climbed with on-again, off-again showers, wind, and a little sleet. Didn't spend much time on summit as weather continued to deteriorate and it was appearent the afternoon thunder would soon begin. | ||

Had a great time climbing with Alan Ellis and Iceaxeman. Perfect weather and rock. Only downside was a few REAL MOUNTAINEERS (I know they were real because they told me) sending rocks down the couloir towards us. | ||

This climb is an absolute joy! After a long approach, the couloir itself is wonderful. With mostly 3rd class scrambling, and a few class 4 moves, it's a blast. The best part of my day was the birthday party on the summit. Jerry (Iceaxeman) turned 50 on our summit day. Eric (hendere) burned a match in a Clif Bar for a cake and gave him an old 'biner for a gift. We all sang "Happy Birthday" and enjoyed the summit with perfect weather and no wind. Thanks to Eric and Jerry for making this one of the highlights of my trip. | ||

NaNoJouMo Returns
Well, it's time once again! I'm getting asked A LOT lately about NaNoJouMo, so here's the post that started it all:
I was just contemplating my own version of NaNoWriMo. (For those of you unfamiliar with this term, NaNoWriMo is held during the month of November, encouraging writers everywhere to write a 175-page novel by midnight, Nov. 30.) At first I thought of NaNoCroMo, where I would crochet a certain amount every day during November...I think I will try to do that, but I'm also starting NaNoJouMo, an idea borne out of a Twitter conversation and brought to fruition here...It stands for National Nonstop Journaling Month!
Each day during November, I will post a word to get you art journaling. A journal jump of sorts—one word a day to inspire or get you thinking. The goal is to journal SOMETHING in your art journal. DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A FULL PAGE...can be a doodle, maybe painting some backgrounds, doing some collage...just SOMETHING every day in your art journal during November. Even if it's just moving a pencil across the page in a crooked line...
Nothing earth-shattering.
You may say, "Dawn, WHY should I do this?"
Well, I know some of us (many, let's be honest) have a difficult time getting started. Sometimes we just need a kick in the pants to encourage us. I also want you to learn how to journal a little at a time. Art journaling is an activity that can be done in spurts. You don't have to create an entire page or spread in one sitting. I have pages in all stages of production! And it's OK!
So get out that handmade journal, Moleskine, notepad, composition notebook, or whatever you're using as your art journal right now. If you have several in the works, that's OK, too! You can pick a different one each day! Just get ready to art journal!!!!
Get ready, folks! It'll be here before you know it!
This is a FREE daily prompt for anyone interested. Who's in?

Top picks 2013: Kroger
Investors shopping for value should consider this leading supermarket operator.
Founded in 1883 in Cincinnati, Kroger (KR) is one of the largest U.S. grocers, with 2,422 supermarkets in 31 states. And the stock rates as my top pick for the coming year.
Kroger's typical format includes food and drug stores containing bakeries, delis, seafood, meat and floral shops, pet centers and high-quality fresh items such as organic produce. It also operates 790 convenience stores, 344 jewelry stores, and 1,141 supermarket fuel centers.
Management recently introduced an ambitious program to boost the number of new stores. Kroger will also expand its business by launching discount stores and restaurants. Management is committed to improve sales and earnings growth considerably during the next couple of years and beyond.
Recent quarterly financial results have been impressive. Kroger's "Customer 1st Strategy" continues to raise customer loyalty, boost same supermarket sales and increase market share.
Management raised its earnings guidance for the current quarter and forecast accelerating sales and earnings for 2013. Kroger is taking market share despite formidable competitors such as Wal-Mart (WMT).
At 11.6 times current earnings per share and with a dividend yield of 2.3%, KR shares are undervalued. KR shares will likely advance to $35.35 in 2013. The balance sheet is solid, and Kroger shares are less volatile than the shares of most companies. Buy now and sell at $35.35.

Style, platform, scalability and cost are just some of the issues to think about when planning your home control system.
Installer only or user configurable?
There's obviously great attraction to a control system you can simply plug in and work with minutes later. But realistically speaking that's only going to work with a few control tasks and a few brands. Perhaps that's all you need. Some systems work with familiar browser-based interfaces and other user-oriented programming tools. If you're relatively IT savvy and want to take the time, you really can program many of these systems yourself. But for an elaborate whole-house system, you'll want an experienced integrator who can help you plan the system, as well as program it and support it.

From October through early spring, the bat emergences can be hard to see because it gets dark earlier and there are fewer bats at the bridge. (Most of the bats migrate to Mexico in the winter.) A few bats do stick around all winter, but their emergences are more erratic and less concentrated than in the summer. When the bats are in town, they usually emerge a little after sunset, but keep in mind that they react to many variables, including weather, temperature, and various disturbances. Their emergence times vary from day to day. Please call Bat Conservation International at 512-327-9721 for the latest flight times.
July and August.
Austin's Mexican free-tailed bat colony usually arrives in March and returns to Mexico in November.
The Bat Observation area at the Austin American-Statesman, which is located at the southeast corner of the Congress Avenue bridge.
Bats have a high metabolism and must forage nightly, but rain can delay the emergence time and make the emergence itself more sporadic.
Free parking is available at the Texas Dept. of Transportation parking lot, located at 200 E. Riverside Drive, after 6 pm and on weekends. However, there is no designated parking for buses. Buses may drop off visitors and then will need to find parking off-site as the parking lot composition will not allow for the weight of buses. If you are bringing in a bus with a large group you should plan to come in a little early, especially during the summer months.
The Congress Avenue Bridge is in Downtown Austin, just 10 blocks south of the State Capitol building. The bridge spans Town Lake at the cross streets of Cesar Chavez to the north and Barton Springs Road on the south. The Austin American-Statesman's Bat Observation Center is on the southeast side. See the section above entitled "Location", which has a map showing the location of the bridge. If you need additional information click on the "more directions" link in the Location section.
There are no public restrooms at the bridge.
No refreshment stands are available at the bridge, however there are several restaurants in the immediate area.
There are no picnic tables, chairs, or bleachers at the viewing area, but you are invited to bring lawnchairs or blankets and enjoy a picnic on the lawn.

Couples dance at the New York Pops 30th Birthday Gala Jeanne Noonan for The Wall Street Journal
Describing someone or something as "the emperor's new clothes," while a little bit dusty, is still occasionally used on the social circuit, mostly because there's so much artifice and so many people on the make.
Debra Messing and Will Chase Jeanne Noonan for The Wall Street Journal
Naturally, it has been overtaken by other, less historical phrases—for instance, "phony," thanks to Holden Caulfield; "he's such a Ripley," thanks to Patricia Highsmith, and, more recently, Matt Damon; "count with [or, alternatively, of] no account," thanks to wherever that came from; and, the old chestnut, "that outfit is just plain ugly and you're an idiot for wearing it."
We were reminded about "the emperor's new clothes" on Monday because the New York Pops were celebrating Jule Styne, Frank Loesser and the centennial of the performer Danny Kaye.
Laura Benanti Jeanne Noonan for The Wall Street Journal
This is kind of inside baseball—what isn't, frankly?—but growing up, we would watch Mr. Kaye in "Hans Christian Andersen," a movie (now out on Blu-ray) for which Mr. Loesser wrote such tunes as "Inchworm," "No Two People," "Anywhere I Wander" and "Wonderful Copenhagen."
He also wrote a variation on "The Emperor's New Clothes" called "The King's New Clothes," in which the king wears what he believes is "all together the most remarkable suit of clothes a tailor ever made." Everyone else agrees, and only a young boy will tell him the truth that, actually, it's "all together the very least the King has ever worn."
Dena Kaye Jeanne Noonan for The Wall Street Journal
Do we really have to spell it out for you? The king was naked!
Situations like this happen all the time in New York, though usually with less public displays of nudity. But sometimes you just can't tell if an artist is the second coming or just an old bag of bones recycling someone else's one-trick-pony routine.
Take, for instance, a dinner on Monday to celebrate the relaunch of A Small World, a social-media website for the elite that may have been the Emperor's New Clothes when it first popped up several years ago. ( Facebook FB -1.61% Facebook Inc. Cl A U.S.: Nasdaq $67.72 -1.11 -1.61% March 14, 2014 4:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 47.89M AFTER HOURS $67.71 -0.01 -0.01% March 14, 2014 7:59 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): 339,120 P/E Ratio 111.02 Market Cap $175.50 Billion Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee $1,242,230 03/14/14 Facebook Officially Launches V... 03/13/14 WhatsApp Faces New Challenge 03/13/14 Documents Say NSA Pretends to ... More quote details and news » ultimately drowned out its noise.)
Robert Bradford and Barbara Taylor Bradford Jeanne Noonan for The Wall Street Journal
At this dinner in Chelsea, there were lots of pretty girls in flowy dresses. The affair was meant to bring attention to the travel focus of the site: At each place setting was a postcard you were meant to fill out with memories of your greatest trip. And dessert involved a cake pop, alone without the stick, hand-painted blue to symbolize the globe, wrapped in a balloon you had to pop with a pin.
Was this the wave of the future in party planning? Or just a shoulder shrug?
Some of the student talent from Talent Unlimited High School. Jeanne Noonan for The Wall Street Journal
Over at the New York Pops Gala, celebrating the symphony's 30th anniversary, none of the performers, including Donna Murphy, Kelli O'Hara, Liz Callaway and Laura Benanti, tackled "The King's New Clothes."
Ms. Murphy, instead, sang "Thumbelina." Ms. O'Hara did "Inchworm." Ms. Callaway sang something from "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," also a Loesser musical.
Afterward, they all retired to the Plaza, where a black-tie gala dinner was in session. A big presence here was Mr. Kaye's daughter, Dena Kaye, who was wearing one of her mom's vintage Don Loper dresses.
A globe-shaped cake at the A Small World relaunch. David X Prutting/BFA
Ms. Kaye splits her time between Aspen and Paris, and is currently in the midst of writing a memoir about moving to France later in life. She was in town for the Pops event, and also for the christening—if that's the right word—of the Danny Kaye Deli Club at the Carnegie Deli earlier that afternoon.
Mr. Kaye was—who knew?—a consummate chef, and his sandwich is a combination of his and his daughter's favorite kinds of sandwiches. His: corned beef on rye with yellow mustard; hers: turkey, coleslaw and Russian dressing. "We all thought it would be a good idea," said Ms. Kaye of the sandwich. "Whenever I am in New York, I'll get that sandwich."
