Like being in Hawaii
What a wonderful smell! Very light texture and easy to apply not greasy or sticky. Only thing my husbands one was another make SPF 15 thick sports cream and seemed to protect him more than this particular one, but for me this did a great job, got a tan but didn't get burnt. and the smell again hmmm . Just a little pricey but I bought on sale and will buy again!

Plan of Evanston [ 59 VI THE establishment of districts from which factories, stores, or apartment buildings, or any or all of these, will be excluded by law is one of the most difficult problems that any rapidly growing city has to solve. We say, without exaggeration, that we believe it vital to the wellbeing of Evanston that such a system of zoning and building regulations, at once effective and equitable, be formulated and enforced. We believe that any citizen willing to give the matter serious thought will agree that this is so. No one, whether he be the owner of an ancestral mansion, or the possessor of a one-year lease on an apartment, wants to be forced to move by a sudden change in the character of the neighborhood in which he has established his home. Every property owner would like to be protected against the possibility of seeing his property deteriorated and its rent-earning possibilities reduced by the intrusion into its neighborhood of an inferior or inappropriate building. All would approve, in theory, of a system whose operation would result in the stabilizing and conserving of real-estate values. Evanston is primarily a city of individual homes, and it cannot afford to lose its character. It is precisely because it is a city of individual homes that people are attracted to come and live in it. In order to command a vista of these homes and spacious lawns a man will pay a greatly increased rent for his apartment. From decade to decade, of course, the character of Evanston must change, just as it has changed in the past. And if the immutable economic law of supply and demand could only be relied upon to work in individual cases no system of building restrictions would be necessary. Factories, stores, and apartments would grow up where they were needed. But it is a matter of experience that the individual builder does not invariably consult this law, and his mistakes

The market looked fairly solid this past week, rising on the back of decent housing data and earnings. That rise came one week after the market showed some weakness on the back of weak data for March. The up and down movement of the market is showing that it has a solid floor below it with good support from the Fed and solid momentum. At the same time, weaker data and how extended this market is right now causes concern for further upside. The market appears to be fairly range bound for those reasons. The market has a VERY busy week, so we could see a break of support or resistance if a lot of news/data goes in one direction. At the same time, such a bevy of information could mean that the market moves more flat overall with volatile moves in between.
Chart Overview
As we can see from the chart above, the market is fairly range bound right now between 1525 - 1590 on the SPY. That range is because of the situation we mentioned in the "Summary." The triple test of the bottom and double top test has shown some strong lines of support/resistance. It will take a fairly strong week of poor data/news/earnings to break support and vice versa for positive to break that upside. We look for that range to hold for several weeks through mid-May.
Economic Data
Date | Data Report | Market Expectations | Previous Report |
April 29 | Personal Income - March | 0.3% | 1.1% |
April 29 | Personal Spending - March | 0.1% | 0.7% |
April 29 | Pending Home Sales - March | 0.1% | -0.4% |
April 30 | Case-Shiller Index - February | 8.7% | 8.1% |
April 30 | Chicago PMI - April | 52.0 | 52.4 |
April 30 | Consumer Confidence - April | 61.0 | 59.7 |
May 1 | ADP Employment Change - April | 155K | 158K |
May 1 | ISM Index - April | 51.0 | 51.3 |
May 1 | Construction Spending - March | 0.4% | 1.2% |
May 1 | Auto/Truck Sales - April | N/A | 5.3M/6.7M |
May 2 | Challenger Job Cuts - April | N/A | 30% |
May 2 | Initial Claims - April 27 | 346K | 339K |
May 2 | Trade Balance - March | -$43.5B | -$43.0B |
May 3 | Nonfarm Payrolls - April | 150K | 88K |
May 3 | Unemployment Rate - April | 7.6% | 7.6% |
May 3 | Factory Orders - March | -2.5% | 3.0% |
May 3 | ISM Services - April | 54.0 | 54.4 |
It is an extremely busy week of economic data, and the market will likely be made or broken on these reports. The key reports to watch this week are going to be Consumer Confidence, ADP Employment, ISM Index, and Nonfarm Payrolls. The reports that focus on April will be what is important to the market as the story for March was already written. Consumer Confidence is supposed to rebound in April. If it does not, the market could suffer. Employment data for April will also be fairly important, as last month was so weak. Finally, ISM needs to stay strong in April as it's supposed to decline month/month. Any reading below 50 would mean a contraction for the market, which is not positive.
Foreign Markets
Outside of the USA, Europe and Asia will likely take a backseat with data, earnings, and the Fed all on the docket for the week, but there are some key things to watch this week. The most important market moment is the Thursday ECB report on rates. Many are speculating that the ECB may cut rates, which helped European markets rally strongly last week. If they do cut borrowing rates, it would help European markets and drop the euro. Strength in Europe would definitely help American markets, but the strength in the dollar would hurt commodities. Additionally, we should be watching Tuesday's Germany/Italian unemployment information, Wednesday's Chinese Manufacturing PMI, and Thursday's HSBC Manufacturing PMI.
Date | Key Company |
April 29 | Hartford Financial (HIG) |
April 29 | Newmont Mining (NEM) |
April 30 | Pfizer (PFE) |
April 30 | Sirius XM (SIRI) |
April 30 | Valero (VLO) |
May 1 | Chesapeake (CHK) |
May 1 | Comcast (CMCSA) |
May 1 | Merck (MRK) |
May 1 | Time Warner (TWX) |
May 1 | Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) |
May 1 | Facebook (FB) |
May 1 | Seagate Tech (STX) |
May 2 | General Motors (GM) |
May 2 | American International (AIG) |
Lots of key reports to watch this week, but the market will mostly be reacting to other data and news that develops. The earnings sentiment has mostly been set for the market, and it's been a mixed season. With a lot of reports already out, only large surprises will really move the market. The key reports to pay attention to are PFE, SIRI, CHK, CMCSA, MRK, FB, and GM. If those reports do not do well, it would definitely give the market some weakness.
Fed Outlook
The Federal Reserve will play a crucial role in the market this week with the FOMC Rate Decision as well as Monday's Dallas Fed report. The Fed is not expected to adjust the rate, but the report always brings attention to the Fed. The more important question on everyone's mind will be the Fed's quantitative easing. As soon as the Fed signals an end to the plan, the market will definitely start to weaken. If there is no change, the Fed continues to liquidate the market and provide a floor to the market. Currently, Fed Minutes have shown no quit to QE, so any change to current plans would be a major market moment. No change, though, likely provides little upside, so it's definitely an issue of potential downside versus lack of immediate effect.
The market has a big week ahead of it. If all goes well with April data, the ECB rate cut, and Fed, the market has a lot of potential upside. If things are weak with April data, the ECB does not cut its rate, and the Fed signals an end to QE, we can kiss support goodbye. It will be a volatile weak with lots of headlines risk.
Stocks To Trade
Ticker: TripAdvisor (TRIP)
Analysis: One stock to watch this week will be TripAdvisor. The travel review website looks quite enticing to start to break out to the upside. We believe the company has a very enticing look heading into earnings along with near-term catalysts. The company is expected to see around 21-22% earnings and revenue growth in this coming quarterly report that is due out May 7. We expect to see a lot of potential upside into that report and beyond. TRIP is seeing a lot of positive growth from its online website group of travel companies, and what we like about TRIP is that we believe it has started to build an economic moat through its large acquisition moves that have taken out a lot of competition. The company has about twenty websites under its umbrella. The company, in the last year, for example has seen a 50% year/year review and opinion level to over 100M. Further, a 10%+ short float means that TRIP could see a "short squeeze" into and out of earnings.
One of the reasons to avoid TRIP has been its large P/E and valuations. With a P/E nearing on 40, many investors see the stock as overvalued. Yet, with growth of 20% per year, that valuation is enticing. The future P/E for TRIP is just under 25, which is enticing for a high-growth name. That P/E will continue to grow until signs that TRIP's growth start to dwindle. We do not see that happening into earnings, and we believe that earnings will be very positive. What excites us about TRIP's potential is that the company has only 10% market penetration into travel review. According to Trefis, the company could see 120M users by 2017. Every new user is more money for the company as advertisements become more expensive and more users means more revenue from third-part sites that use TRIP for hotel rentals and vacation packages.
Look for the stock to breakout if it can get over $55.
Buy Point: $55
Target: $57.50 before earnings
Ticker: Apple (AAPL)
After the latest round of earnings for Apple, things do not look worse, and for this beleaguered stock, that is a plus. The latest round of earnings showed us what was expected: weakening margins from a larger mix of mini iPads, low expectations (as AAPL always does), and lack of fireworks or mention of new products. The company also increased its dividend and will start a share buyback plan, which were both expected as well. One point of their earnings, though, was not as expected and gave us reason to be quite excited about AAPL. The company noted that they are going to start borrowing. The plan to start returning cash to shareholders is tough to do if the company plans to bring back money that is sitting overseas (around $100B). The company would be taxed on that money. Therefore, the company wants to borrow money to increase money to shareholders and utilize its cash.
We believe that this move makes the company shareholder friendly for the long-term as well as not putting pressure on the company when it brings cash back into the states. With the company increasing its dividend 15% and raising its share buyback plan to $60B, the company can attract new investor classes. Dividend investors will be attracted by the company's new 3% dividend yield, up from 2.5%. Additionally, the $60B buyback plan will reduce shares outstanding from 938M to 840M. That move alone takes the current P/E from 10 to 9, reducing it by about 10%. That move should help attract value investors that see solid growth, strong cash, and a pipeline of products that make AAPL an attractive 2HFY13 stock. A new iPhone, iPad, and iMac should release in the second half of the year.
A great way to play AAPL is to go long the stock, but we also like complementing that with an options spread. That spread can give us exposure to a drop in Apple to own at a lower price but also makes us money if AAAPL stays above a certain level. The spread we like is 390/385, which is offering about 12% in gains for May18 expiration.
Trade: AAPL, May18, 390/385 Bull Put Spread
Max Gain: 12%
Ticker: Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF)
One stock that we are looking at with a bearish tinge is ANF. The teen retailer reports earnings in just over two weeks, and we would be cautious into and out of that report. ANF is expected to report a slight rise in revenue of about 2-3% in line with GDP growth but still see a loss in the quarter. While the February - April quarter is the weakest for retailers, we are cautious of discretionary companies due to the sequestration and March spending drop. Consumer spending for March comes out on Monday, and we believe that the report could be a confirmation of what a lot of other retailers like Wal-Mart (WMT) and Target (TGT) have noted about March.
A lot of potential for ANF has been noted due to plans for 20 international Hollister stores being opened, but we are not sold on this. While a move internationally makes sense, 20 stores does not provide the type of growth potential to match the company's 15% EPS growth per year plans. 20 stores could potentially bring about a strong international presence for Hollister in five to ten years. We believe expectations off this news are just too high. The company is not expensive in share price with a P/E at 16 and price/sales at 0.8, but we do not see this earnings report for Q1 as providing a strong catalyst for shares. A macro issue we see with ANF is that bricks 'n mortar stores are continuing to become less influential in the retail world. Online sales continue to grow, and while online sales should grow for ANF, a lot of the potential may appears to be already baked into the cake. As Forbes noted:
We currently forecast Abercrombie's direct-to-consumer revenues to reach somewhere around $1.6 to $1.7 billion by the end of our forecast period. However, consider a scenario where growth in international markets picks up, Abercrombie outperforms its peers with the right product mix and marketing and online retail sales in the U.S. grow faster than what we forecast. If this drives direct-to-consumer revenues to $1.9 billion by the end of our forecast period, there can be 10% upside to our price estimate. On the flip side, if competition becomes exceedingly fierce online, economic growth remains sluggish and Abercrombie continues to battle inventory issues that limit revenues to $1.4 billion, there can be 10% downside.
ANF has lagged the market over the past quarter, and we believe that shares could see correcting in a flat market even. The $46 level is the place to watch for shorting.
Trade: ANF, Short
Targets: $43, $40
Ticker: Coca-Cola (KO)
We continue to like KO very much in this market, and we actually upped our price target on the stock to $59 for the next twelve months. We believe that the stock has great upside moving forward due to increases in profitability margins and decent value seen in their 18 future P/E and 2.5 price/book. We predict the company will outperform its current valuation over the 2013 fiscal year. One of the catalysts that can spark this growth is a new product, Caffeine Free Coke Zero, that KO recently announced will launch mid-July.
In a recent press release, KO announced that this summer they will be offering a caffeine free version of Coke Zero. This is an extension of one of the best-selling sparkling beverages on the market. Stuart Kronague, Head of Sparkling, Coca-Cola North America Group stated, "Caffeine-free products are growing in popularity, making up nearly 30 percent of all sparkling beverage sales in the U.S. By introducing Caffeine Free Coke Zero, we're giving fans exactly what they want, making the brand accessible for enjoyment all day along". Coke Zero has become visible to the public through many different marketing initiatives including sponsorship of the 2013 NCAA Men's Final Four and title co-sponsorship of ESPN's College GameDay. This platform will give marketers endless opportunities in promoting Caffeine Free Coke Zero. This new product will be available nationwide mid-July and will be available coast to coast in August. KO will be offering Caffeine Free Coke Zero in 12-packs of 12-ounce cans and 2-liter bottles as well as sampling opportunities for consumers.
KO is currently valued with a P/E of 20.0 and a future P/E of 18.2. Compared to the industry average, 18.9, KO is a little more highly valued compared to the market but when we compare to leading competitors later in the article we will find that KO is overall undervalued at 20.0. Looking at KO's key ratios like ROA, ROE, and ROIC in comparison with market competitors will give us a good idea of this company's performance against the others. KO reported ROA at 10.9%, ROE at 28.0%, and ROIC at 13.9%. PepsiCo (PEP), one of KO's market competitors, reported their ROA at 8.4%, their ROE at 28.7%, and their ROIC at 11.2%. Another competitor, Monster Beverage (MNST), reported ROA at 28.3%, ROE at 41.9%, and ROIC at 41.9% as well. Compared to these two companies KO finds itself between the competitors. Altogether KO has strong key ratios and is predicted to grow in the coming months.

Carrick will line-up alongside skipper Steven Gerrard in central midfield, with the rest of the starting XI keeping their places after doing the business on Friday night to ensure a win over the Poles will guarantee a trip to Brazil.
Hodgson has once again plumped for a bold selection up front, with an attacking trio of Andros Townsend, Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck playing behind in-form Liverpool frontman Daniel Sturridge, who put the icing on the cake against Montenegro when slotting home a late penalty he had won.

In this tutorial, we are going to combine these two photos:
And create this photo:
Introduction: This tutorial is to help you learn how to change the background of a photo to something more interesting if you choose. There are many ways of getting this done, but this technique is probably one of the easiest and most effective. Ok, so once you open two similar photos (preferably the same size) that you would like to combine in photoshop:
1. Adjust the Levels and Brightness and Contrast of both pictures so they are just about as similarly adjusted as possible. If you need more explanation of this visit our "Photo Touchups Tutorial."
2. Then working with the photo that has the background that you want to use, Select the whole thing (Select>All), Copy the whole thing (Edit>Copy), and then working with the photo that has the foreground that you want to use, Paste the previous photo onto a new layer (Edit>Paste). Your layers menu for the for your photo should now look similar to the picture to the left. With the background photo on top of the foreground photo.
3. Now, add a Layer Mask to the upper layer that Hides All, (Layer>Add Layer Mask>Hide All). Your Layers menu should now look like similar to the picture below.
4. Click on the Brush Tool,
5. (make sure the colors you are working with are black and white).
6. Then (with the mask on the upper layer selected) simply brush where you want the new background to show through. You will probably have to change brush sizes often for the more intricate places.

This is an open letter to anyone whose never quite caught on to the delicacies of brussels sprouts. I urge you or anyone you know who hates brussels sprouts to make this baked brussels sprouts gratin recipe because it will make any haters into lovers. I am *almost* so convinced this dish will be a hit on your holiday table that I'm willing to *almost* bet something on it! Let me go through my valuables and see what I can lay down as a bet and we have a deal.
I love that fact that I can eat a whole bowl of these bite size heads of cabbage as a full meal and know that I've had a years worth of my vitalizing digestive vitamins (if you know what I mean). Now in a utopian world, everyone would be munching on these brussels sprouts like candy, but unfortunately, I know of many haters who wouldn't touch these with a ten-foot-chopstick.
I'm completely understanding of the distance that my brussels-sprout-boycotting friends keep from these scary green heads, so I'm always thinking of different ways to prepare them to help bring them over to the better, loving side. Brussels sprouts can be very cruciferous smelling (phew!) but when prepared with the right ingredients, they can be eaten like candy.
Lather cheese mixture over brussels sprouts, but save the good loose leaves for a salad later!
Todd makes a wonderful roasted brussels sprouts recipe with balsamic vinegar and I have a baked version that is equally, or maybe even more amazing only because my recipe has cheese in it! It's a variation off my humbly famous baked sweet onion dip I wrote about last year with chunks of tender brussels sprouts as the main ingredient.
Granted, brussels sprouts baked to perfect tenderness in an oven, and lathered with parmesan cheese, mayo and more gut expanding love isn't the healthiest alternative. But I'm of the opinion that a girl like me needs my occasional doses of cheesy indulgence and treating myself to a dish of baked brussels sprouts gratin with cheese is the perfect way to splurge.
For this holiday season, or any eating occasion for that matter, you must make this brussels sprouts gratin dish! It's so fast, easy and most importantly, brussels sprouts haters will gobble these up in an instant. When baked slowly in the oven, the brussels sprouts become sweet, tender and fabulous. Just assemble the simple ingredients together, put them in a baking dish and forget about them for about the next 45 min. to 1 hour.
What appears later out of the oven is pure sweet, cheesy, fragrant, brussels sprouts bliss. This brussels sprouts recipe will turn all dissenters into lovers, gar-on-teed!
enjoy & celebrate cruciferous veggies,

Baked Brussels Sprouts Recipe with Parmesan Cheese
Yield: 3-4
Cook Time: 1 hr
- 1 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts (about 25 brussels sprouts)
- 1 package of cream cheese (8oz)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 full teaspoons of fresh ground black pepper
- 1 small sweet onion (or any onion), chopped
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Wash brussels sprouts and remove loose outer leaves.Trim thick stem bottom, Cut in half.
- In bowl, place cream cheese in microwave and heat for bout 30 seconds, or until cream cheese becomes very soft, almost melted. Add mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, ground black pepper and onion. Mix well, making sure everything is combined well.
- Add brussels sprouts, combine well until brussels sprouts are even coated with cheese mixture.
- Transfer to baking dish, cover with aluminum foil. Bake covered for about 45 minutes. Then remove foil, gently stir to bring bottom brussels sprouts to the top.
- Bake uncovered for remaining 20-30 minutes, or until brussels sprouts are tender and until the cheese topping becomes a nice charred crust. Poke with a fork till they are cooked to you desired tenderness.
*when serving, don't forget to scrape the bottom of the dish for the browned, charred cheese! that's the BEST part.
*** update: Doreen (from comments) used a casserole dish, which was probably deeper and had to cook the brussels sprouts for longer. So if you use a deeper dish, then increase your cooking time. If you use a shallow dish like I did , then the dish cooks quicker. And, probably crispier too with a nice charred crust!

Dan DeVanyNovember 13, 2007 Opening remarks by Dan DeVany, Vice President and General Manager of Classical WETA 90.9 FM. Submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee on November 13, 2007 Thank you Mr. Chairman and members of the Committee for giving me the opportunity to speak with you. I am Dan DeVany, Vice President and General Manager of WETA 90.9 FM, the only classical music station in Washington, D.C. I am here today in opposition to the proposal that radio stations be required to pay performance fees for broadcasting musical material. These fees would impose a significant constraint on the ability of community music broadcasters, such as WETA, to provide public service within the publicly funded system in which operate. Earlier this year, WETA made the decision to adopt a full time classical music format on its radio stations, 90.9 FM and 89.1 FM. We did so when it appeared that our Nation's Capital would be without an over-the-air station devoted to classical music. The company that owned and operated the last remaining classical music station in Washington, WGMS, had decided to move away from the format in favor of other types of programming. There was going to be no classical music on the radio in Washington. For many in this community, it was unthinkable that there would not be access to classical music on the radio free and available to all. WETA enthusiastically adopted the format as part of its core mission to serve the Greater Washington Area with programming that is significant, meaningful and of intrinsic value. And, we did so against the trend in broadcasting where more and more radio stations are abandoning the classical music format in favor of programming that, it is hoped, will be more successful in garnering increased audience and revenue. Last year the National Endowment for the Arts reported that the number of classical music stations in this country was in steep decline and that 6 of the top 30 markets in the United States had no classical stations at all. Philadelphia still has no classical music radio station. WETA is a not-for-profit community broadcaster licensed to the Greater Washington Area and chartered to serve the community with programming of value and significance. Our operating budgets are built upon public funding the vast majority of which comes from voluntary private contributions from our listeners. Needless to say, raising this money year after year is a central challenge for us and any other similarly organized broadcast enterer rise. We at WETA are proud and passionate about our place of service to Washington.
The current proposal to require radio stations to pay a performance fee for material played on the air would be an onerous burden on community stations such as WETA who are already greatly challenged to raise the money needed to stay on the air and provide public service. Like WETA, the operations of community music stations are built upon a razor thin margin that cannot withstand additional tolls or tariffs beyond that which we already pay to music licensing entities. Payment of these additional fees would be difficult for WETA, it might be impossible for smaller stations. By the very nature of the programming we offer, our audiences are limited as are our resources. Please let me be clear, I do not suggest that artists should not be fairly acknowledged and compensated for their work. I say this as a former professional musician myself and a member of a family of working professional musicians and music educators. We community broadcasters who nurture, promote and preserve art forms such as classical music, jazz, folk music or any other that is under-represented in mainstream terrestrial radio do so as a labor of love and with the deep conviction that our efforts support the work of artists most of whom would not be heard on radio if our stations did not exist. We have built communities of listeners upon this principle. And, we have done so in partnership with performers who share our conviction and believe that the music to which they are devoted benefits from free exposure. It is a system that has worked for many, many years and the ultimate beneficiary is the public we all serve. As you review this proposed legislation, I urge you consider the effects it would have on community based music stations. Thank you Mr. Chairman. |

Office 2008 for Mac
I just bought an iMac, running 10.8.2 Mountain Lion and installed Office 2008, which ran just great on a PowerMac G4.
2 issues I can't seem to resolve in Excel 2008: 1) when I just type "2", it shows "0.02". I tried making the cell a number, with "0" decimals - that gives me "0" when I type "2". I've tried customizing the cell to be "1" but that makes everything I type "1". Is there a way to customize the cell to not require that I type "2.00" to show "2"??? 2) I rely on Print Preview, previously a button in the toolbar, when trying to fit a spreadsheet onto 1 pg. Can't locate it anywhere now. I've tried to Customize the toolbar, but can't find any command for Print Preview. Otherwise, I need to go to File-Print, then PDF-Open PDF in Preview. Does anyone know of a work-a-round? |

Office 2008 for Mac
Yes, I tried reinstalling the software a couple of times, but it doesn't change this behavior. I also can't locate the .plist file for Excel in both Libraries; I thought I could delete that in case a preference was set by default.
I was hoping someone knew of a shortcut for Preview instead of the 4 step solution currently. Thanks for your suggestions. |

Don't you think if there was even a teeny tiny fraction of something they would have said it right then? I watched every second.
The paterno attorney had the most shifty eyes... It was creepy... He seemed angry and too connected. The Governer really said nothing. The 3rd guy was the best on camera (don't remember his name...guy in the middle)
He was the most compelling but all he did was talk about the same tired arguments you all have been spewing for the last year.
Nothing to see here... Move along.

You do not need to know the 100% of anything to know Joe Paterno purposely covered this up and ignored what Sandusky was doing wether he hated the guys guts once he found out to protect the revenue the football team was bringing in - and that's what the NCAA punished them for.
Sir Mix A Lot said...
We do have ways of proving it. Just take Joe's own words from the grand jury. He was told of some "fondling" involving Sandusky. McQuery was "distraught". Joe said he was told it was "something sexual" and he didn't ask for details. He then decided to tell nobody, so as to not ruin their weekend. Those facts will never change. This is why his statue had to come down, and until PSU fans can wrap their heads around it, this story isn't going to die. People get wrapped up in what they don't know, just take what is known, and it's enough to make you want to barf.

New Tablets for Christmas 2012
I'm thinking of getting my kids and I a tablet for Christmas this year. What are the hot new tablets rumored to be out for Christmas 2012? The Nexus 7 looks nice and sounds nice, but I'm concerned about the lack of SD card, and there's bound to be more new tablets out by then. What are the options looking like for this holiday season?
Palm Treo 755 --> Rooted Droid Eris --> Rooted HTC Thunderdud --> 2012 Google Nexus 7 and rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 - 08-12-2012, 11:41 AM #2
I love my tf300, but you might want a 7 inch for kids. I have not looked too much into the smaller tablets, but the nexus 7 looks awesome. I think amazon might come out with a new fire as well. If you want 10 inch and don't mind spending a little more than the Asus tf300 is your guy

Re: New Tablets for Christmas 2012
I too am looking for a new tablet. I bought a TF300 a month or so back but it's only an interim device for me as I'll sell it as soon as someone comes out with a newer device that has a lot of memory, as well as LTE capable.
Re: New Tablets for Christmas 2012
7 inch tablet is the best for Kids... SD card is not a problem for a kids tablet.
so i recommend getting Nexus 7 for your kids and Asus transformer infinity or Samsung tab2 for yourself. - 08-20-2012, 06:24 PM #5
I personally wouldn't choose a higher priced tablet for my children. We gave my 11 year old daughter so kindle fire this past Christmas, and it lasted 3 months. She broke the charging port on the thing from the motherboard. I'm still not sure how she managed to break the charger port from the board inside the case. At any rate, filed with warranty and got replacement. At first, for a couple of weeks after Christmas, we tried my daughter with a new Acer laptop and that definitely wasn't going to work. So she got the kindle instead, but as I said, she broke it.
Look for something that isn't so costly to get fixed, or that can be easily replaced. Kids are tough on electronics. My two sons have their own PSP. One of them has already broke his and we used the gamestop warranty, the other broke his charger and now they have to use one charger for both PSP systems. Again kids are tough on electronics.

Re: New Tablets for Christmas 2012
I am also looking for a 7 inch tablet. I do require an SD slot (or a full USB) because it will not have internet access for the majority of uses, like road trips, dead cell areas, or even massivly saturated areas (large conventions). That is actually the only thing holding me back from the Nexus 7. I was recently at a convention where at the hotel we couldn't even load a simple YouTube video without a long wait. Any suggestions? The Acrer A110 looks like a winner but I would like to know about more options.

Re: New Tablets for Christmas 2012
I think it depends upon the age of the children and what they will be using it for. I bought two 7 in hers for my teens at the beginning of the summer. One is the Arnova 7 G3, one is the Cosby Kyros 7042. Both came with ICS pre loaded and cost just over $100. However, once my teens started using them, I realized that these products aren't powerful enough for teens. The screen on the Kyros is kinda grainy and the Arnova doesn't have physical volume buttons. I have since gotten them new 4.5 phones with ICS and 1.5 Ghz processors and they actully use the phones more than the tablets. I wouldn't recommend these lower end 7 inch tablets for any child past elementary school. For teens, check out the Nexus 7, Galaxy Tab 2, Lenovo's 7 in her, or Acer's 7 inch. They are slightly pricier, and it has its pros and cons, so it comes down to personal preference.

2009 Australian dust storm
2009 Australian dust storm | |
Formed | 22 September 2009 |
Dissipated | 24 September 2009 |
Damage | none |
Fatalities | none |
Areas affected | Australia |
In 2009, a dust storm swept across the Australian states of New South Wales and Queensland from 22 to 24 September. The capital, Canberra, experienced the dust storm on 22 September,[1][2] and on 23 September the storm reached Sydney and Brisbane.
On 23 September, the dust plume measured more than 500 kilometres (310 mi) in width and 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) in length and covered dozens of towns and cities in two states.[3] By 24 September, analysis using MODIS at NASA measured the distance from the northern edge at Cape York to the southern edge of the plume to be 3,450 km.[4]
Air particle concentration levels reached 15,400 micrograms per cubic metre of air. Normal days register up to 20 micrograms and bushfires generate 500 micrograms. This concentration of dust broke records in many towns and cities.[5] The CSIRO estimated that the storm carried some 16 million tonnes of dust from the deserts of Central Australia,[6] and during the peak of the storm, the Australian continent was estimated to be losing 75,000 tonnes of dust per hour off the NSW coast north of Sydney.[7] The dust storm coincided with other extreme weather conditions which affected the cities of Adelaide and Melbourne.
While the cloud was visible from space, on the ground the intense red-orange colour and drop in temperature drew comparisons with nuclear winter, Armageddon, and the planet Mars.[8][9][10] The dust storm was described by the Bureau of Meteorology as a "pretty incredible event" that was the worst in the state of New South Wales in nearly 70 years.[8][9][11][12] The phenomenon was reported around the world. The Weather Channel's Richard Whitaker said: "This is unprecedented. We are seeing earth, wind and fire together".[13]
Some of the thousands of tons of dirt and soil lifted in the dust storm were dumped in Sydney Harbour and the Tasman Sea. This increased the nitrogen and phosphate levels in the water significantly. Measurements taken two weeks after the event indicated an explosion of microscopic plant life which can be expected lead to an increase in fish numbers. Some researchers suggest that feeding the poor and also reducing the greenhouse effect could be achieved in a similar manner with deliberate ocean fertilisation.[14][clarification needed]
The dust is believed to have originated from far-western New South Wales and north-east South Australia. This includes an area known as the 'Corner Country',[15] a dry, remote area of far-western New South Wales. In South Australia the dust may also have come from Lake Eyre Basin or the Woomera area, the latter raising concerns that it was radioactive and dangerous since the area contains the Olympic Dam uranium mine.[5]
According to the New South Wales regional director of the Bureau of Meteorology, Barry Hanstrum, the cause was an "intense north low-pressure area" which "picked up a lot of dust from the very dry interior of the continent".[16] Senior forecaster Ewan Mitchel said winds from a cold front picked up dust from north-east South Australia on 22 September.[17] That night the winds strengthened to 100 km per hour and collected more dust from areas in New South Wales that were drought affected.[17]
New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory[edit]
The first city to be affected was Broken Hill, which was 'blacked out' at about 3:30 pm on 22 September 2009. At least one mine was shut down.[13] It was also witnessed in Cowra. The storm blew across Canberra and the surrounding region by midday on 22 September 2009, before being washed away by overnight rain, the heaviest rainfall over Canberra in months.[2]
It was reported that the dust set off smoke alarms across the state and prompted increased demand for emergency services. Asthma sufferers were hospitalised.[8] Rain was also reported to have resulted,[16] with cricket ball-sized hailstones falling.[9]
The dust storm also reached the north coast of NSW on the morning of 23 September 2009. Coffs Harbour was affected by 7 am. At Coffs Harbour Airport visibility was down to 500 metres by 9 am and the airport remained closed until 10:30am. Grafton and the Clarence Valley were affected by 8:30 am.[15][18] It caused flight delays at Ballina airport and flight cancellations for most of the day at Lismore airport with visibility at 700 metres. A local school rugby union carnival was also called off.[17]
The storm caused severe disruption to international flights—several early morning Air New Zealand flights from Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington had to return to New Zealand after finding themselves unable to land at Sydney Airport.[19] These flights were listed as cancelled and many others were rescheduled until later.[20] 18 international flights were diverted to Melbourne Airport or Brisbane Airport, while six others were cancelled altogether.[8][11] There were delays of six hours reported for overseas flights, whilst domestic flights experienced disruption of as much as three hours.[8] Roads were disrupted, including the main tunnel of the M5 East Motorway which was shut down. Building sites were closed.[9] Ferry services were cancelled.[21] Canterbury Park Racecourse's scheduled day of horse racing was abandoned.[22]
Schools were disrupted as those children who attended were distracted by the dust storm, while many parents kept their children home. School trips and sports activities were cancelled for the day, and children were directed to stay inside during breaks in some schools.[23] Face masks experienced surging sales in Sydney as concerned residents rushed to protect themselves against the dust, with at least one retailer indicating she had sold more than during the swine flu pandemic.[24]
Residents of Windorah in South West Queensland reported low visibility on the morning of 22 September.[25] By 23 September visibility in Toowoomba and Ipswich in South East Queensland was reduced to 100 metres (330 ft).[26]
Brisbane was affected by the dust storm, although low visibility was less of a problem at Brisbane Airport than it was at Sydney.[27]
The Gold Coast was also affected by the dust storm by 11.30 am, reducing visibility to 500 metres (1,600 ft). Work stopped at construction sites due to health concerns, powerlines were down in some areas, the Q-deck was closed and traffic was slow with motorists using headlights. False fire alarms resulted in the evacuation of the Southport Magistrates Court. Flights were able to depart but incoming flights were diverted.[28] The beaches remained open with added 'no swimming' flags in unpatrolled areas. Two fishermen off the coast of South Stradbroke Island were lost and a helicopter was required to locate them.[29][30]
The dust storm reached Central and North Queensland by the evening of 23 September 2009. However the effect was less serious, with visibility between 4,000 and 7,000 metres. Commercial flights were not disrupted. Affected areas include Townsville, Blackwater, Rockhampton,[31] Mackay,[32] Cairns and the Gulf of Carpentaria (Normanton and Kowanyama).[33]
New Zealand[edit]
Red dust from the storm reached New Zealand on the morning of 25 September 2009, behind a weather front that brought cold temperatures to the North Island. It was observed by satellite, atmospheric monitoring equipment (a beta attenuation monitor) at Auckland International Airport and by dust settling on the ground. Dust settled across Auckland as well as in the Northland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Taranaki districts of the North Island and it also reached the South Islands West Coast.[34][35][36][37]
Second dust storm[edit]
A second dust storm, originating in the same area but believed to be smaller, reached Broken Hill and Cobar by 10 pm on 25 September 2009.[38] This storm arrived in Sydney between 4 and 5 am on 26 September 2009, it pushed the EPA Air Quality Index into the 'Poor to Hazardous' range.[39] However this was not as intense and had cleared by mid morning. The storm reached Brisbane on the evening of 26 September 2009, with the haze expected to clear by 28 September 2009.[40]

I made this in creative mode on flat land. The red and white parts are wool. The black is part wood, part stone (I don't want the lighthouse to burn down). The flame is burning off of Nether brick, to keep the fire from burning out. There is also a glass covering to protect it from the rain, even though the Nether brick never burns out. I would take the picture without the rain, but it won't go away.

I so desperately wanted to re-create Israphel's castle, so I dug out a massively deep cavern using TNT arrows and then lined the walls, ceiling and floor with Nettherack (possibly spelled wrong).

TOKYO, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Benchmark Japanese government bonds were steady on Monday, erasing earlier losses after the Bank of Japan resumed buying bonds under its asset purchase programme, while bargain hunting in the superlong tenor sent the 30-year yield to a two-month low.
Expectations of more easing steps ahead by the central bank underpinned bond market sentiment and helped benchmark JGBs shed earlier losses made as some investors rebalanced into stocks, which rose on renewed yen depreciation.
The BOJ on Monday bought about 300 billion yen ($3.2 billion) of JGBs with up to three years left until maturity in its asset purchase programme.
'I think the BOJ's JGB buying operation, which had not been held for a while, came and the result was reasonably stable, which helped the market to recoup earlier losses,' said Naomi Muguruma, a senior strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities.
'I think overall, the market lacks strong direction ahead of two auctions scheduled this week, and also market participants would love to see how long the yen weakening and the stock rally trend will continue,' she said.
The yield on 10-year bonds was flat at 0.745 percent after earlier rising as high as 0.755 percent. The benchmark yield has doggedly stuck in its recent range between a then-six week low of 0.720 percent hit on Jan. 25 and a then-two week high of 0.805 percent touched on Feb. 4.
Ten-year JGB futures ended up 0.04 point at 144.27, after falling as low as 144.09 in the morning session.
The 30-year yield was down 2 basis points at 1.915 percent, after earlier dropping as low as 1.910 percent, its lowest level since Dec. 13. Life insurers were said to be buying, although trading activity was thin.
The Nikkei stock average rose 2.1 percent, while the dollar rose 0.5 percent to 93.94 yen, after the Group of 20 nations did not cite Japan over policies that have weakened the yen. Japan viewed this as tacit approval of its anti-deflation policies.
'The G20 didn't single out Japan, so we're seeing a weaker yen and stronger stocks,' said a fixed-income fund manager at a Japanese trust bank.
'But expectations of future easing steps by the Bank of Japan continue to keep JGBs from selling off too much, and kept the long yield in its recent ranges,' he added.
The 20-year yield slipped half a basis point to 1.735 percent, its lowest since Jan. 24, though gains in that tenor were limited before an auction on Thursday.
The five-year yield added half a basis point to 0.145 percent, moving away from its record low of 0.135 percent hit this month, ahead of a sale in that sector on Tuesday.
The Ministry of Finance will offer 2.7 trillion yen of five-year notes, increasing the monthly issue amount by 200 billion yen both this month and next, to fund the government's extra budget.
The five-year yield skidded to its record low as investors bet the BOJ would scrap paying interest on banks' excess reserves as part of future policy steps aimed at beating deflation.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told parliament on Monday that buying foreign bonds could be among future policy options for the central bank, and that the government must consider revising the BOJ law guaranteeing the central bank's independence if the BOJ cannot achieve its 2 percent inflation target.
Former top financial bureaucrat Toshiro Muto is the leading candidate to become Japan's next central bank governor with Abe to pick a nominee as early as this week, sources close to the process told Reuters.
A weekly gauge of sentiment in the Japanese government bond market was steady but remained in negative territory for a seventh straight week, the latest Thomson Reuters poll showed on Monday. ($1 = 93.8100 Japanese yen)
