5 of the Best Things To Do in Vieques, Puerto Rico
So you've decided to take a tropical vacation to the big and beautiful island of Puerto Rico, and you've just found out that like Hawaii, Puerto Rico is actually more than one island. Sure, there's the big one, but there are the obscenely beautiful and tiny islands of Vieques and Culebra as well. Who knew?!
Like so many people, you've decided to take a trip to the smaller islands as well to check them out. But with only a few days there, you want to maximize your visit and know ahead of time what are the best things to do in Vieques. I know, because I was in your shoes just a year ago when I first visited Puerto Rico.
I've now been to Vieques three different times, and even tied the knot on that tiny little island! My wife Becki and I certainly haven't doneeverythingthere is to do there, but we can tell you what we showed off to our family and friends while they were there for our wedding.
The Bioluminescent Bay
Seriously, this should be at the absolute top of your list of things to do while you're on Vieques. People do come from literally all over the world to see this natural wonder. Joe and Maria, the owners of the place we normally stay at while there, even keep a signature board up of everyone who's been there and where they're from, and it's very impressive.
A bioluminescent bay is simply a bay filled with seawater that has an unusually high number of dinoflagellates(microorganisms found in all seawater worldwide). The organisms glow a pale neon-blue when irritated by anything, from a boat motor, a fish swimming through them, a kayak paddle, or simply your hand.
There are only five bioluminescent bays in the world, and Puerto Rico was lucky enough to be blessed with four of them. However, the bay in Vieques is always reported to be the best for multiple reasons:
- All of the features that make a good bio-bay (low water exchange, s-shaped entry, decaying plant matter) are strongest there
- They were the first to protect their bay, and the pollution in the others is killing the microorganisms that glow
- There is far less light pollution on the sparsely populated Vieques, making the glowing effect much stronger when compared to other bio-bays
I guarantee if you go and see the biobay while you're on Vieques, you won't go home disappointed.
The Kiana Lagoon and Boardwalk
This is the kind of thing where you're going to have to rent a good 4×4 vehicle, embrace your inner adventurer < link to your post, http://channelvoyager.com/discover-your-inner-adventurer/ >, and go have some fun!The lagoon is located in one of Vieques' wildlife refuges. The roads are well kept for gravel roads, but it is the Caribbean and flooding and hurricanes can take their toll.
You can rent kayaks and take them to the lagoon, or do what Becki and I did and just walk the boardwalk. It winds in and out among the mangrove trees, over the water letting you see plenty of birds, fish, lizards and crabs!
Any of the Beautiful Beaches
If you go past the lagoon and keep heading for the ocean, you'll eventually reach Playa Punta Arenas, otherwise known as Green Beach. It's a gravel beach that is very remote and therefore very quiet and peaceful. There's a lot of rocks and sea urchins in the area, which means it's not great for swimming but an awesome place to kayak or snorkel off a pier.
Bahia de la Chiva, also known as Blue Beach, is one of our favorites! It's also a quiet beach as most people stop at Red Beach and never make it down there. It's very relaxing – great for families with small children and seashell collectors.
Red Beach is often the beach people will tell you to go to. We liked this one too, but it's more of a "see and be seen" beach than we care for. The water is clear without many rocks or seaweed, so it's good for swimming. The surf can really kick up here though, so be careful!
Deep Sea Fishing Charter
This is one of Becki's dreams (she's the fisherman in our relationship and the waters around Puerto Rico and Vieques are some of the best in the world for it. Mahi mahi, tuna, wahoo, dorado, bonefish, tarpon, marlin, and many others all can be found here.
We haven't done this one yet, but the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean lies just off the shores of Puerto Rico; in other words, deep sea fishing was practically invented here, so it must be pretty good.
Nothing… just, nothing.
Doing nothing while in a beautiful tropical paradise while on vacation can be one of the best decisions you'll ever make. After driving through water crossings and over washed out roads, getting sunburned and worn out from adventures, it's definitely nice to just sit back with a cold drink and watch the sun slowly sink into the horizon.
One of the best places to do this is on The Malecon of Esperanza. The Malecon is the name of the road along the waterfront, with plenty of bars and restaurants serving frosty, fruity rum drinks. Make sure to order a pina colada or a painkiller – two of the best drinks the Caribbean has created – and let the cares of your life back home just fade away.

Like a borderline contestant on Project Runway, Michael Kors Holdings (KORS) has been getting love and hate from the judges, er, analysts.
Last week, for instance, Stifel's David Schick highlighted "stagnant demand," while JPMorgan's Matthew Boss remains confident that Kors can escape its doldrums. Count Nomura analyst Simeon Siegel among those who thinks the stock's recent woes have created an attractive entry point for investors. He writes:
We continue to believe fear has been winning out as Kors shares have dropped about 11% (versus the S&P 500 down 1%) since reporting better-than-expected top- and bottom-line first-quarter results. Despite our expectations for 26% earnings-per-share growth, Kors trades at 14.7 times calendar 2015 EPS (versus our group average of 15.2 times) and at a 0.7 times price-to-earnings-to-growth.
Although investors zeroed in on retail gross margin commentary, we believe that channel and geographic mix shift will continue to benefit gross margins and believe fears are overblown at current valuations. Additionally, we would expect to gain incremental color around bringing the website in-house (new to this quarter) which should drive top and bottom line benefits.
It's hard to say where this rollercoaster will head to next, but investors seem to agree with Siegel today and are lining their closets with Kors. Its shares have gained 2.4% to $74.87 at 3:32 p.m. today, staying one step ahead of Kate Spade (KATE), which has gained 2% to $26.38 and Coach (COH), which is up 0.7% at $35.41.
The problem with being so good for so long? Everyone expects you to be able to keep it going forever– a pr0blem that's plaguing Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) today.
When your shares trade at over 40 times forward earnings, you better deliver–and Chipotle certainly did. Its profits rose 57% to $4.15 a share, easily topping the $3.83 Street consensus, while revenue rose 31% to $1.08 billion, topping forecasts for $1.06 billion.
So why is Chipotle down 6.2% at $612.54 at 2:20 p.m.? Chalk it up to the management's conservative take on same-store sales growth in 2015. Barclays' Jeffrey Bernstein and Tracy Ou explain:
Chipotle fundamentals, in our view, are second to none across restaurants, and perhaps broader retail. And management seems justified in the view that the shift from traditional QSR to fast casual is only accelerating over time, with QSR "struggling to produce positive" comps, relative to outsized strength at Chipotle. That said, the question is whether Chipotle's outsized momentum is sustainable, with higher highs increasingly difficult to deliver. Focusing on 3Q14, Chipotle reported a ~20% comp, including 6%+ price, which along with double-digit unit growth, and meaningful margin expansion, supported 50%+ EPS growth. But as investors focus on '15, all things are likely to slow, including comps, unit growth (modestly every year on a larger base), and ultimately EPS growth… albeit all still impressive.
Whether that's impressive enough to get investors buying again remains to be seen.
Sometimes the clues are so obvious that only Inspector Clouseau could miss them–and that's the case with United Technologies (UTX), which beat earnings forecasts today.
I mean, the signs were all there. Fellow industrial giant General Electric (GE), for instance, not only beat the Street's earnings forecast, but raised guidance as well. Textron (TXT), meanwhile, surged 10% when it announced its own beat-and-raise driven by margin expansion in its aviation division.
So, back to United Technologies: It reported a profit of $1.82 a share, beating analyst forecasts by a penny, while reporting higher revenue in aerospace and commercial building. The biggest downside: United Technologies predicted mid-single-digit growth in 2015, below analyst forecasts for about 8%.
Sterne Agee's Peter Arment and team think that United Technologies is worth buying, especially after dropping 10% during the past three months:
We are maintaining our Buy rating United Technologies reflecting the significant correction in the United Technologies shares in the last several weeks coupled with the ability to still show earnings growth despite the weak macros. United Technologies still has opportunities to reduce costs within the global franchises and generate healthy free cash flow to fuel significant debt reduction and increased buybacks.
Shares of United Technologies have gained 1.8% to $103.29 at 1:43 p.m. today, while General Electric has risen 1.8% to $25.49 and Textron has jumped 2.8% to $37.46.
McDonald's (MCD) has a problem. Investors have known this for a while, and now it seems McDonald's management does too.
McDonald's reported a profit of $1.35 a share not including charges, missing forecasts for $1.37. Even worse–same-store sales in the U.S. and Europe slumped the most since 2003. Janney's Mark Kalinowski and Ryan Kidd explain:
September same-store sales in the U.S. fell by -4.1%, which was even worse than our sell-side low projection of -3.6% (and also below the Consensus Metrix figure of -2.8%).
The -4.1% number was also the worst monthly McDonald's U.S. same-store sales performance since February 2003's -4.4%. Perhaps an even greater surprise was Europe's September same-store sales decline of -4.2%, which was worse than our -1.0% projection, and below the Consensus Metrix number of -0.9%. The poor European showing was the worst month for McDonald's same-store sales in that key region since March 2003's -5.4% decline. Although APMEA (Asia/Pacific, Middle East, & Africa) September same-store sales of -7.5% were better than our -11.0% estimate and Consensus Metrix of -11.0%, it's obviously not a performance to crow about, either.
The good news is that McDonald's finally acknowledged that it has a problem. It plans to simplify its menu, among other steps. It might take bigger steps, however, before investors can start believing in McDonald's again.
Shares of McDonald's have dipped 0.3% to $91.35 at 12:28 p.m.
As some of you might know, Barron's recently launched an Asia edition, and in it, my colleague Thomas Streater recently argued that the slump in oil prices won't last and recommended picking up beaten down oil stocks. The one problem: The companies in the article are difficult, if not impossible for Americans to buy. Why should Asia have all the fun?
Streater argues that the drop in oil prices was brought on largely by the strengthening dollar, the IMF's decision to lower its global growth forecast and International Energy Agency's own decision to cut its prediction for oil demand growth this year and next. But does that justify a 13% drop in the prices of oil in just one month? Streater doesn't think so. The big drop, he says, was caused as much by technical factors as actual fundamentals, while supply growth might actually be slow–especially if OPEC finally decides to cut back on production.
If you buy that, then you should be buying some oil stocks as well. RBC's Kurt Hallead and team note that a "trading rally is underway," and they recommend buying the oil-services companies that have the most potential stock-price upside to their June 30 price combined with strong fundamentals. This being Wall Street, they also provided a list. The potential winners include land driller Nabors Industries (NBR), which had dropped 66% since June 30, Precision Drilling (PDS), Patterson-UTI Energy (PTEN) and Weatherford International (WFT).
Better get to them fast, though. Nabors Industries has gained 2.5% to $18.32 at 1:16 p.m. today, while Precision Drilling has risen 1.3% to $8.72, Patterson-UTI Energy has jumped 3.9% to $25.44 and Weatherford International has climbed 4.3% to $17.29.
Coca-Cola (KO), as the old ads used to say, was supposed to bring a smile to your face. Today, it's bringing little but frowns following disappointing financial results.
Coca-Cola reported a profit of 53 cents a share today, meeting analyst estimates, but its revenue of $11.98 billion was below the $12.1 billion Street consensus. Coca-Cola also warned that its revenue growth could slow to as little as 4% in 2015, even as it said it would cut costs.
Citigroup's Wendy Nicholson sees Coca-Cola's earnings as a call to action:
Perhaps in response to one more disappointing quarter (as both revenues and op income fell short of long-term targets), Coca-Cola announced further productivity initiatives (now looking for $3 bn in annualized productivity by 2019, previously $1 bn by 2016). Also, given the perhaps permanently more challenged global marketplace for NARTD beverages, Coca-Cola adjusted its LT growth targets to MSD sales growth (previously +5%-6%) and +6%-8% growth in profit before tax (previously op income growth of +6%-8%). However, given that Coca-Cola expects its equity income line will offer a stronger contribution given the recent structural changes (i.e. refranchisings) and equity investments (Keurig Green Mountain (GMCR) + Monster Beverage (MNST)), Coca-Cola maintained its LT target for high single-digit EPS growth.
Shares of Coca-Cola have plunged 5.9% to $40.75, while Keurig Green Mountain has gained 0.5% to $143.78 and Monster Beverage has jumped 3.6% to $98.78.
ISI Group's George Galliers and Arndt Ellinghorst initiated Tesla Motors (TSLA) at $320 a share today and before the haters start to hate, let me say one thing: The notion doesn't seem that farfetched.
Galliers and Ellinghorst start with an interesting premise: That Tesla is the one automaker "not exposed to the single largest threat to automotive returns, namely global emissions standards." They explain:
Having studied, reports from the European Environment Agency, the International Council On Clean Transportation and the European Commission, we estimate that to meet an industry average of 95g/km CO2 per car will require an incremental c$1,350 in content. Discussions don't stop at 95g/km. The next envisioned target is 80g/km by 2025. For an industry where mass market OEMs generate only c$400-500 in profit per vehicle (60% of EU car sales are still loss making), incurring incremental costs of $1,350 per vehicle will likely have a material negative effect on returns. A worrying development for OEMs and shareholders. For Tesla, the story regarding contribution and content costs is likely to prove the reverse.
Galliers and Ellinghorst then go on to try to simplify the case for Tesla, making using few of the superlatives that Tesla bulls roll out–"disruptive force" is used just once and then to say that they won't consider that aspect of the company–instead considering whether Tesla can meet its goals:
In order to assess Tesla, we believe it is necessary to consider the investment case in very simple terms. 1) Can Tesla meet its volume objective of c500k units p.a. by 2020? 2) Is Tesla's long-term operating margin target of low to mid teens attainable? 3) Does Tesla have sufficient liquidity, cash generation and capital market access to execute its plans? We believe the answer to these three questions is "Yes". In addition, it is necessary to examine the risk to Tesla from other vehicles with evolving technologies, including competitor's EVs, hybrid vehicles, plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCEV). In our assessment, Tesla has a significant advantage based on technical merit.
The report offers a detailed look at how Tesla will be able to meet those goals, as well as the risks, including the possibility that governments will prefer fuel-cell powered vehicles over batteries. They run their numbers and come up with a price target of $320.
With Tesla shares trading up 0.8% at $232.33 at 10:56 a.m. today, that leaves 38% of upside.
In the Eurythmics "Here Comes That Sinking Feeling," Annie Lennox sang, "Have you ever heard the sound of disappointment…It like to leave a scar before it goes." The band was singing about love, but it's words could easily describe what's happening to offshore drillers like Seadrill (SDRL), Atwood Oceanics (ATW), Noble (NE) and Ensco (ESV).
Seadrill has fallen 41% so far this year, while Atwood is off 20%, Noble has fallen 39% and Ensco has slipped 33%. And each leg down has been accompanied by hope that the worst had passed, only to end in, well disappointment. Morgan Stanley's Ole Slorer and Jacob Ng call for a "floater market 'reality check.'" They explain:
A 2015 deepwater market recovery does not appear to be in the cards as oil companies head into budgeting season amidst a shaky oil price outlook. We also believe that breakeven costs in most NAm unconventional plays have declined, while recent commentary suggests that NAm unconventional is preferred by a FCF-constrained customer base from a capital allocation standpoint, due to a lower breakeven and faster payback period relative to deepwater. We now see a market situation similar to the last slump in the early 2000s. A lackluster dayrate environment should nevertheless accelerate fleet attrition and incentivize "green shoots" of demand, while a spending cutback will likely pressure the deepwater supply chain and lead to longer-term oil price upside risk…
We expect to see no reversal of negative news flow soon, although we believe this is already well appreciated by the Street. We view a group inflection boiling down to an improving oil price outlook, and recommend sticking with premium asset exposure (Seadrill and Atwood) in the meantime. Dividend cuts also appear on the horizon as companies seek to conserve cash and ride out the storm, although the market appears
to be already pricing in dividend cuts, with current yields now well above historical trading ranges. However, we still see relative safety in yield-cos (Transocean Partners (RIGP) and Seadrill Partners (SDLP)), which should continue to offer robust distribution growth profiles driven by parent need for funding.
Ole Slorer and Jacob Ng also recommend selling Ensco and buying Noble. They explain why this so-called pair trade makes sense:
Noble has underperformed Ensco by ~12% over past 12 months. This performance gap narrowed shortly after the announcement of PGN's full spin, but Noble has since lagged again. We note that Noble's fleet quality is now closer to (and even slightly better than) Ensco's following the PGN spin. Noble has also started to execute well and exceed expectations on the Opex front while the bulk of its maintenance capex volatility could have been crystalized in PGN. Noble also has higher contract coverage as well as lower exposure to brewing jackup market headwinds. Both trade at a ~8% dividend yield on similar payout ratios and leverage profiles, but Noble screens cheaper on P/NAV and EV/EBITDA. While we retain Equal-weight ratings on both names, we see higher total return upside in Noble (~25%) vs. Ensco (~10%) over the next few months. Key risks to this pair trade include a continued unwinding of the "restructuring catalyst" trade and / or unexpected fleet downtime for Noble.
Shares of Ensco have risen 0.7% to $38.41 at 10:23 a.m. today, while Noble has gained 1.2% to $20.07, Seadrill has jumped 4.3% to $24.06 and Atwood Oceanics has climbed 3.2% to $42.58.
1, 2, 3, 4…What are we fighting for? For Country Joe & the Fish it was the end of the Vietnam War. For investors today, it's extending the market's winning streak to a fourth day.
S&P 500 futures have gained 0.6%, while Dow Jones Industrial Average futures have risen 0.4%. Nasdaq Composite futures have jumped 1%.
Illumina (ILMN) has jumped 10% to $181.01 after the medical-testing company easily beat the Street's profit forecasts and lifted its full-year earnings guidance.
Harley-Davidson (HOG) has climbed 6.7% to $62.30 after the maker of iconic motorcycles reported earnings that beat the Street consensus by 10 cents a share.
Coca-Cola (KO) has fallen 4.9% to $41.19 after the beverage maker met earnings expectations but missed on revenue and lowered guidance. It also announced plans to cut costs by $3 billion annually.
Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) has slipped 4.8% to $621.87 after the burrito-purveyor reported top-notch earnings but said it would have trouble growing at the same pace.
McDonald's (MCD) has dropped 1.9% to $89.90 after the Golden Arches missed earning and revenue forecasts. McDonald's management also acknowledged that its problems are bigger than they had realized.
Stocks picked up where they left off on Friday, as investors continued to put growth fears behind them.
The S&P 500 gained 0.9% to 1,904.04 today. That's put the benchmark index up 2.2% during the past three days, its biggest three-day rise since mid-April. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, meanwhile, ticked up 0.1% to 16,399.67 (click here to find out why it underperformed), the Nasdaq Composite rose 1.4% to 4,316.07 and the small-company Russell 2000 rose advanced 1.2% to 1,094.97.
Looking for a reason why the investors have set aside their doom & gloom in favor of a sunnier outlook? Beats me. Bloomberg cites better earnings, though earnings weren't particularly bad last week, prompting Gluskin Sheff's David Rosenberg to quip: "How bad can things possibly be when a bellwether like General Electric (GE), which has its tentacles spread to every facet of the economy, not only smashes through its profit targets, but raises its Q4 guidance and a $250 billion order backlog." Paul Quinsee, head of US equity at JPMorgan Asset Management agrees with that sentiment. "The the numbers we were counting on coming in very strongly have come in strongly," he said in a phone interview today. "Forward statements have been reasonably good so far too."
Maybe it just took a little while for that to sink in. Whatever the reason, Deutsche Bank's David Bianco and team note that markets often bounce back quickly once it becomes clear that the world isn't going to end:
At 1850-1900, we think the S&P is priced for flat to slightly lower earnings in 2015 (EPS of $115-118). If oil prices stabilize and incoming data suggests no recession, as we expect, confidence should improve in our arguably conservative 2015E EPS of $123. This should make the S&P return to the highs of the year by year end. In the past, when a profit recession was avoided, S&P rallied quickly fully recovering the loss within 2 months.
Then there's the fact that buybacks have been conspicuously absent as the market cratered thanks to the fact that companies are busy reporting earnings. Goldman Sachs strategist David Kostin thinks a pickup in share repurchases could push the S&P 500 up to 2,50 by year end:
Most companies are precluded from engaging in open-market stock repurchases during the five weeks before releasing earnings. For many firms, the beginning of the blackout period coincided with the S&P 500 peak on September 18. So the sell-off occurred during a time when the single largest source of equity demand was absent. Buybacks dip during earnings reporting months, which have seen 1.2 points higher realized volatility than in other months during the past 25 years. In terms of timing, more than 75% of S&P 500 constituents will have reported 3Q results by the end of October and will then be able to resume buybacks. We expect companies will actively repurchase shares in November and December. Since 2007, an average of 25% of annual buybacks has occurred during the last two months of the year.
Barclays' Jonathan Glionna and Eric Slover also see buybacks adding to demand:
With prices falling, corporations may emerge as a powerful source of demand. We estimate that S&P 500 companies spent $400bn repurchasing shares in the first nine months of 2014. Another $130bn could be spent in the fourth quarter, by our calculations. To put this in context, the market capitalization of the S&P 500 is $16.5tn. The key consideration is that companies are often in blackout periods during the first few weeks of October as they await the publication of financial results. While many utilize 10b5-1 plans that allow repurchases to continue during blackouts, the ability to opportunistically take advantage of lower prices is impeded. Once results are released, corporations have more flexibility. Of the twenty companies that buy back the most stock, 14 will have reported earnings by the end of October, clearing the way for some of the market's most consistent buyers to increase their volume.
Glionna and Slover, however, see the S&P 500 closing the year at "only" 1,975. After the recent volatility, I'll take it.

Dragons heat up against Strasburg
By Brad Fauber - firstname.lastname@example.com
STRASBURG -- William Monroe forward Adam Weisenborn accomplished what any guy sets out to do when challenged by his significant other in a friendly squabble -- he proved his girlfriend wrong.
Weisenborn was all over the pitch during Tuesday's Bull Run district soccer showdown with host Strasburg, knocking home a career-best four goals in the Green Dragons' 5-1 win over the Rams.
"The highest I've ever gotten is three [goals]. It's pretty exciting," Weisenborn said. "My girlfriend was like, 'Oh, you're not going to score four [goals] like I have.' I kind of proved her wrong."
The Dragons (1-2, 1-0 Bull Run) set the tone early in the match, using their speed up front to keep Strasburg (0-2, 0-1) on its heels while unleashing a steady barrage of attacks on the goal and Rams keeper Tyler Henry.
Dragons forward Marco Ramos fired the first shot on goal just 10 seconds into the match, and William Monroe tallied four more shots on goal in the next eight minutes, all of which were covered up by Henry. Henry finished with 12 saves, including eight in the first half.
The Dragons finally broke through Henry's defenses with 24:53 to play in the first half when Ramos passed the ball ahead to Weisenborn along the right side, and Weisenborn pushed the ball up the field before sending a shot into the left corner of the net from 10 yards out to give William Monroe a 1-0 lead.
"I just saw the keeper coming out and just slid it in the corner of the net. It was a good ball by [Ramos], no doubt," Weisenborn said. "We've got a pretty quick team and when it comes down to the wire, if we need some speed, we've definitely got it. It's pretty important for us."
Strasburg had several opportunities to score early in the first half, but squandered two breakaway opportunities that could have provided the Rams with some early momentum.
The Rams also had their chances late in the first half as they recorded all three of their first-half shots on goal in the final 17 minutes of the half, but each time were denied by Dragons keeper Aaron Kildea.
The Rams finished with seven shots on goal to William Monroe's 17, and managed their only goal of the game on a penalty kick by Juan Jimenez-Mora with 4:53 left in the game.
"To be fair, [William Monroe] had a lot of opportunities that didn't go in, as well, but it'd be nice to get lucky a few times," said Rams coach Joel Ross. "A lot of credit also goes to their keeper; he made quite a few athletic saves."
The Rams seemed poised to head into halftime with the 1-0 deficit, but a quick outburst by the Dragons netted two goals in the final three minutes of the half to extend the lead to 3-0.
Weisenborn scored his second goal from 15 yards out with 2:30 remaining in the half, and Ramos shook a pair of Strasburg defenders in the penalty area before scoring from seven yards out with less than two minutes left.
"That was huge. I think mentally, for us, that gave us a boost," Dragons coach Isaac Hutchinson said. "We've talked about finishing the half, finishing the game, and we haven't done that very well in our first two games, so that was nice to see."
Weisenborn got the Dragons going in the second half as he took a pass from teammate Nicholas Evans from just inside the penalty area before sending the ball by Henry to put the Dragons up 4-0 with 27:40 to play.
Weisenborn struck again with five minutes remaining as he sent his fourth and final goal into the right corner of the net to give William Monroe a commanding 5-0 lead.
"[William Monroe] was a better team than I had anticipated," Ross said. "They were a strong team. That's the story of our lives, playing a lot of strong teams and see how well we come out."

Naples Web Design
Virtually all products are designed, carried out by different parties but never meet the expectations of both sides, especially when it comes to intangible products such as websites, software Web Design Naples or games. This is usually a compromise between what is should be and what, in fact it can be. While idea caught, it is rarely literal. Solution: designers must preach water and drink it too! This prevents confusion, misunderstanding and misrepresentation.
Practice iterative development process
Design in practice may not be absolute. By this I mean that it must be flexible and affable to change without altering its true nature, to meet the technical limitations of the system. These recurring and necessary changes can be made according to the original designer. Developer designer bar can be quickly repeated, if necessary, instead of try to design for the designer, who is rarely at hand to implement the changes. This situation can lead to friction - and often does - between designers and developers.
Results of a better and more harmonious
I have often wished parallels between software development Naples Web Design and web games for orchestral music, where or operator of the unit. Imagine if you had a score composer? Symphony would not be impressive, exciting and clean? They were made, not only for the craftsman, but the author guides!

USB works for some but not for all?
Hi, this is a weird one.
At the back of my comp i have 6 USB's that take things from mouse to keyboard to piano keyboard and all work.
When i use a USB stick though things are different. My PC recognizes the USB and a little light comes on it and it does come up as a drive but when i try and open the USB I get the error:
G:\ Application not found
It is always G:\ no matter which USB is use, front or back. I definitely know the ones on the back are working as I'm typing through my keyboard USB now. All of them work but not for USB memory sticks???
I have tried 5 USB's now and all give the same error. Does anyone know why this is? In device manager there seems to be no issues with drivers, they all seem to be up to date.
I wouldn't mind but i need to save a book I am writing, if i lose what I've done so far I would die I back up to a spare hard drive so there is some cover but still nowhere near enough.
Thanks in advance for any help, cheers, Ste.

Windows 7 Pro. 64/SP-1
You say you have tried 5 usb. Does that mean 5 different usp ports or 5 different usp sticks?
With your usb stick plugged in go to Start/Computer and see if the usb stick is shown there.
|My System Specs
|03 Feb 2013
I would presume that you are calling USB ports as USBs. Clarification as requested by Layback Bear is in order. Please specify USB ports and USB devices for clarity.
Assuming that you have one USB device, which when plugged into five USB ports on your computer all give you that message, there is a distinct possibility that your pendrive is infected.
Go to Folder options and unhide hidden files and protected system files.
Press and hold Shift key when you insert the pendrive and till it is recognised.( This will prevent the auto.inf being executed.)
If you find any auto.inf and recycler in the pendrive select these and press Shift+delete to send those to oblivion.
Now safely remove the pendrive and then plug it in normally.
Problem resolved?
Note: In any case, check your system thoroughly for any malware.
Your pendrive/s also need to be sanitised. That after you report the status.

|03 Feb 2013
Actually according to this there is only 4 x USB ports http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3485#sp
The mouse and KB ports are the PS/2 type so unless steman has a USB card or a hub parked in one of the ports in the machine that is all there is?
Oops unless the front two are being counted - sorry I thought it was meant say at the back.

Hi, this is a great forum, I always appreciate advise.
I have 4 USB Port on the back and 2 on the front.
I tried 5 different USB sticks but none worked no matter which port i placed them in.
I have had new luck though. When i double click on the USB Stick(which does show on 'devices with removeable storage' i get the g:\ error message; but when i right click on it and select 'open in new window', it allows me access to whichever of the 5 pendrives i use.
So in the end, all is ok. It's just strange a double click is different than right-click - open.
Thanks for your help, my book is safe so far, i appreciate it, cheeers, Ste. :0)
|My System Specs
|04 Feb 2013
Well glad to hear it is working but odd behaviour all the same and needs sorting in the future as the ports should "see" the sticks as soon as they are plugged in.
Just out od interest go to Control Panel > Autoplay > and check out what is in my pic.
|My System Specs
|04 Feb 2013
In any normal computer, with or without Auto Play checked, double click should open the removable device and not give out the message you had displayed.
IMO all your pendrives are getting infected from inside your computer or got infected from other computers - if you had lent them.
So do check your system for any malware. And do check your pendrives for that autorun.inf and recycler.

Thanks IC, it was ticked so it's just a gremlin in the system. I can deal with it ''cos i've got my work backed up.
Thanks for all your help, and to others too. Great forum, will always come back here, thanks again, Ste.
|My System Specs

I do not think, ICit2 , the files are corrupted. If they were OP would have reported.
And then I had half a mind to advise the OP to backup all files on the pendrives because of the possibiity of the malware corrupting the files but then he has already said he had some sort of backups.
Also I would be inclined to think, that it could be a harmless irritation malware.
Well, all these are perceptions that may be right or wrong. Only the OP can tell after doing a malware check.
The saving grace is whatever has been advised can do no harm.

Chocolate Orange Loaf Cake
by getfilmy
Adapted from Nigella Kitchen
Don't be fooled by appearances – because while this cake looks like a heavy, dense block of chocolate (never a bad thing, but still) it is surprisingly light and fresh. If you love the chocolate orange combination, this is made for you.
The crumb is not as fine as that of a pound cake, but it is also nowhere near the heavier crumb of a quickbread. It's somewhere in the middle and pretty near perfect for tea time.
And if you don't drink afternoon tea, what are you waiting for? It's total permission to add one more meal to your day! Brit-style too.
Two interesting notes about the taste – one is that there is no salt in this recipe, which is something I've noticed in many of Nigella's baking recipes. I suppose a bit of testing is in order – I would love to know if salt really does make a difference to baked goods.
My other baking idol, Joanne Chang, insists that it does, so I wouldn't commit either way. But I do love that Nigella is pretty great at stripping a recipe down to its basics.
The other thing is that this cake is not overly sweet. In fact, by American standards it's probably not sweet enough.
I like the subtlety of the sweetness here – it feels like you're having a treat but not something that screams Dessert with a capital D.
So there you have it – a dense-looking block of cake that's anything but dense both in terms of texture and flavor.
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temp
2 tablespoons Lyle's Golden syrup (or dark corn syrup)
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons cocoa powder (the good stuff)
2 eggs, room temperature
zest of 2 oranges
juice of 1 orange
Preheat oven to 325.
Grease a non-stick 2 pound (9 x 5) loaf tin liberally with butter. If you don't have non-stick, I would line the pan with parchment, and then butter. Liberally.
In a medium bowl, measure out your flour, sift in the cocoa powder and add the baking soda. Mix everything well.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter together with the golden syrup just until incorporated, then add the brown sugar. Beat until light brown and fluffy.
With the mixer on medium-low, add a tablespoon of the flour mixture, wait until it's mixed in and then crack in the egg. Beat.
Repeating this process, add a couple more spoonfuls of flour, then crack in the second egg.
Continue adding the flour in spoonfuls with the mixer on medium until all the flour is mixed in.
Add the orange zest and juice. Beat again. The mixture may look slightly curdled once the juice is in, but do not worry. All is well.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin.
Bake for 45 – 50 minutes, or until a tester comes out with a few sticky crumbs clinging to it.
Makes 12 non-dense slices.

Referring to the other football – the one where the ball actually gets touched with the foot – legendary Liverpool manager Bill Shankly famously remarked that football (still the European kind) was not a matter of life and death – it was "much more important than that". To be frank, I never really got the chance to reflect on these words while my four-year old son laid on a hospital bed for five days, suffering from a double-whammy of infections and subjected to a battery of tests that never fully revealed what he was battling. His condition was far from life-threatening, but it is always a traumatic experience for a parent to see their child in pain and distress. I had little time for Jake Long's knee or who would fill the free safety position on the Rams secondary, issues which, while not keeping me up at night, would normally be at the forefront of my mind. For those five days, I was not, among many things, a Rams fan; I was just a father.
Fortunately, my son recovered, and it was after his return home that I went back to the world of the St Louis Rams. Ramblin' Fan was, obviously, my first destination, but a large number of other sites, blogs, and Twitter accounts were consulted in order to update me on how that world had moved on while mine had stood still in that darkened hospital room with the Pinocchio mural. There were reports on OTA's, and on a scuffle between Kenny Britt and Trumaine Johnson (is it a bit early to extract the claws?), while the name Sean Hooey, taking reps at left tackle in practice, drew a puzzled brow. This was quite soon after we had re-settled as a family, perhaps a sign of a hunger of which I had been unaware during my enforced period of Rams starvation. Now that life has resumed, it is back to the familiar routine of regular checks to make sure that I keep abreast of developments, even in this quiet time of year.
And it is perhaps here where sports – and any other hobby or interest, for that matter – play a vital function. To us, they represent a semblance of normality, a habit that helps take our minds off the mundane chore of work, bills and kids, but which we can easily abandon in times of crisis. It anchors our lives and, be it in the sickness or in health of whatever franchises we follow, it is the mother that we run to when all is better. To me, reading about the Rams once again meant all was fine.
But sports also bring strangers together. From high-fiving fellow Rams fans in Wembley Way or friendly banter with rival fans in Candlestick Park, these lives randomly cross paths with only a mutual interest forcing a brief interaction. And it makes someone who you have never met face-to-face, who lives on the other side of the world, and who you know only as a name and a profile picture, but with whom you have a shared enthusiasm for a bunch of players who dress in blue-and-gold, give you his best wishes for your son and offer his help during a tough time. And, for that, I will always be grateful.
Now, who the hell is Sean Hooey?

Comments about Staples Clear Gusseted Poly Bags 1 mil, 6x3x12:
These are a good product however 2 times I have ordered them and both times have been short 100 bags. The first time I thought I had misplaced them or maybe counted my products wrong, so the 2nd time I counted the bags of 100 they come in and again there was only 9. I like the bags, however I don't like to count on something being the number you order and then be shorted.

Asexuality by Tiny Dinosaur :)!
"Asexuals aren't real"
Shit. They're onto us. *transforms in stardust and returns to space*
So, you buy a 3D printer, what do you make with it?
Tessellated Ace Pride geckos, of course!
Here to talk, lend support, or answer your questions to the best of our ability and the ability of…
This is an awesome blog.
I'm looking for more Asexuals/Aromantics/Anyone in the Asexual related group to follow. Like this if you want me to follow you!
I just finished a film called "not Broken Not Alone" which follows the asexual community as they prepare/participate in WorldPride this past summer.
I'm eager to get the film out to festivals worldwide in an effort to increase both visibility but also the broader conversation that I think asexuality brings up. I started a kickstarter cammpaign to raise money for this goal
It would be really appreciated if anyone could help get the word out about this project- there are tons of cool rewards for donating, including a streaming copy of the film, and more! and some cake karma :D
Thank you! - Rodney
The latest from AVEN (@asexuality). Updates from the Asexual Visibility and Education Network.
i said stay the fuck out of the aromantic tag
just go away
the tag is not yours
also, there are people that are both aro and ace you know that right?
also, I never tag unrelevant things anyway

Finally! I was hoping to see this show up on the market soon. I remember reading about it a while back and wondered if it was going to make it public. +to my wish list!!
Sweet, I agree it is about time that the PC gets this type of tech it is a much more powerful platform than any console. Plus with all the crazy hardware/software modders out in the world they will probably find some ways to use these for even more.
Well they managed to get a Nintendo Wii controller working with a PC, there's no doubt in my mind they couldn't do the same for PC specific hardware.
This is awesome! So now you really can just have an htpc instead of a console system. On a side note, was Razer the company who a while back was going into a secret lab to produce new products? Or was that a different company or am I just crazy?
Yep, this is a real interesting device, they made a video on it and it seems so cool. I would love to buy it when it is released.
I will be checking this one out to see the exacts. I really want to see the video so I can understand how these specific cntrollers are used. The coverage of titles is pretty wide especially for a new to market device.
this would be a total blast ! The first thing I thought of after watching the vid was i gotta make some more room so I could easily move around >>rearrange the coffee table,shove a bunch of stuff out of the way, & check the cushions for lost change and hopefully find some cash.

Location. Very close to expressway, Casino, etc.
This place is rundown, dirty, unkempt and has overpowering odors as you enter. The linen, pillows, etc., is from the 1960's. We had to buy pillows while we were there as the ones provided (two) cannot in any way be called pillows.Lots of signs about thievery, not enough towels, no linen for second bed, etc. The television was a CRT type so blurry it was embarrassing. No monies or upgrades, modernization, or even upkeep has been done in many years.
It is badly needs an update and replacement of some things.

|Synod Fathers from around the world gathered in Rome from October 5-19, 2014. Photo from here.
Sunday, October 19 marked the conclusion of the Extraordinary Synod on the Family in Rome.
The proceedings garnered a great deal of attention from Catholics and non-Catholics from around the world.
Below are excerpts from the Pope Francis' final address to the Synod Fathers and the Message of the III Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops.
Pope Francis' final address to the Synod Fathers
October 18, 2014
Click here for full text on the Vatican Radio website.
Personally I would be very worried and saddened if it were not for these temptations and these animated discussions; this movement of the spirits, as St Ignatius called it (Spiritual Exercises, 6), if all were in a state of agreement, or silent in a false and quietist peace. Instead, I have seen and I have heard – with joy and appreciation – speeches and interventions full of faith, of pastoral and doctrinal zeal, of wisdom, of frankness and of courage: and of parresia. And I have felt that what was set before our eyes was the good of the Church, of families, and the "supreme law," the "good of souls" (cf. Can. 1752). And this always – we have said it here, in the Hall – without ever putting into question the fundamental truths of the Sacrament of marriage: the indissolubility, the unity, the faithfulness, the fruitfulness, that openness to life (cf. Cann. 1055, 1056; and Gaudium et spes, 48).
Message of the III Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops
October 18, 2014
Click here for full text on the Vatican website.
Each of us, pastors of the Church, grew up in a family, and we come from a great variety of backgrounds and experiences. As priests and bishops we have lived alongside families who have spoken to us and shown us the saga of their joys and their difficulties [...]
[Family life] is sometimes a mountainous trek with hardships and falls. God is always there to accompany us. The family experiences his presence in affection and dialogue between husband and wife, parents and children, sisters and brothers. They embrace him in family prayer and listening to the Word of God—a small, daily oasis of the spirit. They discover him every day as they educate their children in the faith and in the beauty of a life lived according to the Gospel, a life of holiness. Grandparents also share in this task with great affection and dedication. The family is thus an authentic domestic Church that expands to become the family of families which is the ecclesial community. Christian spouses are called to become teachers of faith and of love for young couples as well.
Another expression of fraternal communion is charity, giving, nearness to those who are last, marginalized, poor, lonely, sick, strangers, and families in crisis, aware of the Lord's word, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35). It is a gift of goods, of fellowship, of love and mercy, and also a witness to the truth, to light, and to the meaning of life.

If we're going to have green jobs in this country, we'll have to face up to the real world, rather than the one imagined by free trade apostles like New York Times columnist, Thomas Friedman. He seems oblivious to the fact that the every nation, except ours, is trying to protect and enhance its key industries without worrying very much about "free trade" principles. Instead, Friedman believes that with proper carbon pricing and energy efficiency regulations, we can win the global race to produce the next wave of alternative energy technologies. He writes:
"We can either invest in policies to build U.S. leadership in these new industries and jobs today, or we can continue with business as usual and buy windmills from Europe, batteries from Japan and solar panels from Asia. If we do not impose on ourselves the necessity to drive innovation in clean-technology -- by imposing the right prices on carbon emissions and the right regulations to promote energy efficiency -- we will be laggards in the next great global industry."
According to Thomas Friedman and other globalization enthusiasts, all countries compete in a flat world, and the ones that are smartest are the ones that walk off with the prize -- new jobs and riches for their nations, as well as better products to protect us all from global warming.
As a result, globalization advocates believe that smart policies to set proper prices on carbon and to promote energy efficiency will spur more and better innovations.
Wake up Mr. Friedman and join us back here on planet Earth! Here's what your own newspaper reported just a few days after you opined about the great competitive race we should be running:
"Calling renewable energy a strategic industry, China is trying hard to make sure that its companies dominate globally. Just as Japan and South Korea made it hard for Detroit automakers to compete in those countries -- giving their own automakers time to amass economies of scale in sheltered domestic markets -- China is shielding its clean-energy sector while it grows to a point where it can take on the world."
We're about to creamed in the global race for green jobs.
Beneath the ideology of free-trade, countries do what they can to promote their comparative advantage. Some countries allow union organizers to be harassed and even killed to keep down the price of labor. The U.S. subsidizes agricultural production, much to the detriment of poorer nations that can't compete with our underpriced crops. Europe provides enormous support for key industries (like aircraft), and China manipulates its currency to keep its exports cheap.
In the case of solar energy and wind turbines, China is also protecting its homespun alternative-energy industries using every trick in the book. The New York Times reports:
"When the Chinese government took bids this spring for 25 large contracts to supply wind turbines, every contract was won by one of seven domestic companies. All six multinationals that submitted bids were disqualified on various technical grounds, like not providing sufficiently detailed data."
But don't blame China for bending the rules in behalf of its people. Blame pundits like Friedman who refuse to protect industries and workers in America. We are one of the few countries that places no barriers on corporations that move increasing numbers of jobs outside the country as soon as they can do so profitably.
As long as we worship at the alter of free trade, we can more or less predict what will happen to any green industry that involves manufacturing products like wind turbines, efficient lightbulbs, solar panels. Even if the corporate headquarters is located here, those items will be made outside the country and shipped back in. Yes, we may develop important new high-tech research jobs (for a while) and new profits for inventive corporations and entrepreneurs. And there will be jobs for those distributing, selling, installing and maintaining the equipment. But the bulk of the new jobs in manufacturing will go elsewhere, all at a time when we face a shortfall of about 25 million jobs due to the deepest recession since the 1930s.
