The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS)
The mouse has grown into a media giant. Disney's empire includes movies (including Pixar), television (featuring ABC), and theme parks.
http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2012/11/13/analysts-debate-is-disney-a-top-stock.aspxAnalysts Debate: Is Disney a Top Stock?The Motley Fool has been making successful stock picks for many years, but we don't always agree on what a great stock looks like. That's what makes us "motley," and it's one of our core values. We can disagree respectfully, as we often do. Investors do better when they share their knowledge.In that spirit, we three Fools have banded together to find the market's best and worst stocks, which we'll rate on The Motley Fool's CAPS system as outperformers or underperformers. We'll be accountable for every pick based on the sum of our knowledge and the balance of our decisions. Today, we'll be discussing media and theme park company Disney (NYSE: DIS ) .Disney by the numbersHere's a quick snapshot of the company's most important numbers:StatisticResult (most recent available)Revenue$42.3 billionNet Income$5.7 billionMarket Cap$86.3 billionDividend Yield1.3%Key FranchisesMickey Mouse, Star Wars, Avengers, Toy StoryKey BusinessesESPN, Pixar, Marvel StudiosKey CompetitorsViacom (Nasdaq: VIA ) Time Warner (NYSE: TWX ) NBC UniversalSources: Company filings.Travis' takeDisney is one of those incredible companies that will be around forever no matter what happens. As the years roll on, the company keeps adding content and incredible long-lasting franchises and capabilities for distributing its content. When we think of Disney we often think of Mickey Mouse, Disney World, or Pixar, but Disney's most valuable asset is probably its 80% stake in ESPN. This drives its largest segment, media networks, and is the one "must have" channel for consumers around the country. Take ABC, ABC Family, Disney Channel, and all of the other channels Disney owns; I just want my ESPN. This business isn't a phenomenal growth business, growing just 5% in the first three quarters of 2012, but it's stable and profitable, which every investor should like.In my eyes the second most valuable asset Disney owns is its slew of franchises and characters. In spending $7.4 billion for Pixar, $4 billion for Marvel, and, just recently, $4 billion for Lucasfilm, the company was shoring up popular content that will drive it into the future. But the company hasn't spent $15.4 billion on these assets just to generate box office profits. These franchises become the heart of Disney's second-largest business -- parks and resorts.Parks and Resorts is actually the fastest-growing business in the Disney portfolio, and has grown 10% this year. It generated 30% of the company's revenue in the first nine months of the year and 18% of the company's operating income. When you look at the eye-popping figures Disney spends on buyouts, it's actually the parks that make these acquisitions truly profitable.I also think the company is setting itself up with a fortress of content for the digital future, a future that Disney is more prepared for than any other studio. The growing popularity of Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX ) , Hulu (partially owned by Disney), and Amazon.com's (Nasdaq: AMZN ) streaming service provide a window into the future. These companies are just vehicles for delivering content, but there's no reason Disney couldn't deliver content on its own. WatchESPN, which brings ESPN content to your computer, mobile devices, and Xbox, shows the company has the capability, and the company's content gives it the flexibility to demand high prices from other distribution channels or build its own. Disney isn't at the point where it will launch its own app or streaming network, but when I look out 10 years, I think owning a ton of content is a much better position to be in than owning a distribution channel like Netflix. It's analogous to owning a baseball team. If you don't like the deal a cable company offers, start your own network.Paying 15 times earnings isn't a steal for investors, but with an eye on the long term I think the stock will still outperform the market.Sean's takeIt has truly been a remarkable year for the House of Mouse. Disney's share price has advanced 34%, crushing the S&P 500 (INDEX: ^GSPC ) , and it recently reported solid fourth-quarter earnings results. Yet for all the magic that Disney brings to the table, I have just as many concerns that this could be as good as it gets for a while.Looking first at the positives, I have to point out the fantastic job being done by Disney's premier CEO, Bob Iger. Iger has led Disney to record quarterly results while also boosting its annual dividend by 50% and honoring America's veterans by putting them back to work. His leadership is the primary reason Disney shareholders should be thankful in 2012.Disney's leadership in film is another saving grace. Marvel's The Avengers is the third-highest grossing film in the U.S. of all time and the highest-grossing film in 2012 by a mile. While not all of its movies are successes, those that are allow Disney to capitalize on multiple fronts, including the movie itself, merchandise sold from the movie, partnerships formed with other businesses (e.g., fast-food chains) to promote the movie, carryover to its theme parks, and eventually streaming/DVD sales.Right now you're probably thinking, "OK, so why exactly aren't you gung-ho on Disney after mentioning these positive points?"My skepticism (which you'll recognize as one of my defining characteristics if you've been following these weekly debates) primarily stems from Disney's historical valuation and tepid consumer spending figures worldwide.With regard to valuation, I don't consider Disney to be ludicrously overvalued at 15 times trailing earnings. However, I think it's worth noting that at no time in the past decade has Disney traded at a higher price-to-book relative to the S&P 500 than it has this year. In terms of P/E, Disney hasn't had this type of premium over the S&P 500's P/E ratio since 2005. Disney tends to be relatively range-bound when it comes to valuation, and by all accounts, it doesn't appear to be an attractive buy based on these figures.Difficult worldwide consumer spending prospects are also clouding my optimism for Disney. Price increases are big growth drivers at theme parks, which, as Travis notes, made up close to a third of Disney's revenue. If consumers in Europe, Asia, and the U.S. have less discretionary income due to a myriad of global factors that are slowing down growth, leisure companies like Disney will be the first to feel the pain.Overall, I share sentiments similar to Travis'. I believe in Disney's management team, and I feel its media operations will be strong growth drivers going forward. On the other hand, this is about as pricey as I can recall Disney being in years, and the bar for future earnings reports is being set incredibly high. I'd rather wait for a better entry price than risk chasing Disney any higher.Alex's takeBoth of my colleagues have offered smart analysis on Disney's past and potential future success, and I agree with just about all of it. Well, that sure was easy. Thanks for reading!On a more serious note, I'd like to focus on two things mentioned earlier -- Disney's parks and resorts growth, and its higher-than-normal valuation. Travis' point that the Lucas properties could become cornerstones of a deeper theme park experience is something that slipped by me at first, but which makes perfect sense on reflection. Darth Vader, Yoda, and the crew are truly iconic characters inhabiting a universe that's become part of our shared cultural experience, even if you're one of the few people to have never seen the Star Wars films. Adding that lineup to Disney World, or even developing a new cruise ship concept, would attract a group of fans outside Disney's typical wheelhouse. I bet the lure of watching lightsaber duels on the deck of the Fun Star (or whatever they choose to call it) would be tempting for many comic-con fans.Travis mentioned the size of Disney's Parks and Resorts segment, but here's a way to appreciate the sheer scope of this segment relative to its competitors: This one segment generates more annual revenue than Six Flags (NYSE: SIX ) , Cedar Fair (NYSE: FUN ) , and Royal Caribbean (NYSE: RCL ) combined. Those three companies control a total of 36 theme parks and 40 cruise ships to Disney's 11 theme parks and four ships. Disney gets some serious bang for the buck out of each of its locations, and with the additional nerdy allure of a Millennium Falcon ride or a photo op with R2-D2 to drive more customers to its parks, the gap should only widen between Disney and its peers in this segment.Let's talk about Disney's supposedly high valuation. The company may be pricier than normal compared to the S&P 500, but it is decidedly not expensive on either a 10-year historical basis or in comparison to its peers:DIS P/E Ratio TTM data by YCharts.Disney's P/E, like that of many other large caps, has been in steady decline over the past decade. It's currently below both Royal Caribbean's and Time Warner's P/Es, and is close to Viacom's, despite what can arguably be called a vastly superior portfolio of entertainment options. Disney's average P/E in the past decade is 19.4, much higher than its current valuation. Over the past five yea

Ask Slashdot: How Do I Convince Management To Hire More IT Staff?
Re:One word (383 comments)
So really, you just want your reports to keep you entertained, by showing walking you through their working. (Or maybe "in the loop", rather than "entertained").
Unless you've got complete incompetents reporting to you, that shouldn't be necessary (except to keep you in the loop, which I do agree is important).
But when people have a *real* problem that they can't solve (i.e. someone needs to be on a performance plan; or the project is failing and needs a massive overhaul; or the budget needs to be increased) then going to a manager with a solution might not always go down so well.
I guess there is some middle ground (hiring one more staff member, slight scope changes, etc). But I don't think most people have an issue making those kind of suggestions.
"Bring a solution, not a problem" is a good maximum for normal decisions, but it's also a crutch managers use when they don't want to make a hard decisions. It's a lame way to say "Nope, I just don't want to think about that

Captain Jonathan Toews, his helmet skittering along the ice, skated over to goalie Corey Crawford with a big smile on his face and patted him on the butt.
Just saying thanks.
''He's so competitive in all areas,'' Toews said. ''Obviously, he didn't like to see me take a few shots there, so he thought he'd step in. It was a great moment.''
If not for Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick getting pulled in the second period, Crawford wrapping his arms around Kyle Clifford's head and dragging him away from Toews might have been the most unlikely sight of the Blackhawks' 4-2 victory Sunday in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals.
With the Kings down 4-1 midway through the third period, their frustration appeared to boil over. First, Colin Fraser decked Toews in front of the crease, prompting Michal Rozsival to jump on Fraser and start pummeling him on the ice. Clifford then came in and tomahawked Rozsival in the back of the head. Toews pulled Clifford aside and took a couple of punches before Crawford surprisingly stepped in.
''Their guy grabbed [Toews] and got a couple of free shots,'' Crawford said. ''I figured it was enough, decided to go in there and grab his head.''
Rozsival said the Hawks weren't going to sit back and take it from the Kings, especially when their captain was involved.
''Jonny got hit there in front of the net for no reason,'' Rozsival said. ''Just trying to help him out and let them know that we are there.''
As for Clifford's clubbing?
''I don't even know what happened there,'' Rozsival said with a smirk. ''I blacked out.''
Richards out
Three hours before the faceoff, Kings coach Darryl Sutter said center Mike Richards, his leading postseason scorer, was ''fine.'' But Richards was a last-minute scratch.
''He was fine today, then I think once his blood got pumping tonight, the adrenaline got going, there were symptoms,'' Sutter said. ''I went right in after warmup. He was sitting there, and I said, 'Unless you're 100 percent, you're not playing.' ''
Richards was hurt and appeared dazed by Dave Bolland's hit late in the third period of Game 1. The NHL didn't think Bolland's hit, on which he appeared to leave his feet and hit Richards in the chin with the back of his shoulder, was egregious and decided against any disciplinary action. No hearing was held. Sutter didn't complain about the lack of a penalty or punishment for Bolland.
''It's not really an issue,'' Sutter said.
Road worriers
The Kings have a dismal 1-7 road record in the postseason, compared with their 7-0 mark at Staples Center. En route to winning the Stanley Cup last season, they won their first eight road playoff games.
''Yeah, it's a weird thing,'' Kings center Jarret Stoll said. ''I don't think you can pinpoint one or two things. Seems like our offense on the road has struggled, scoring one goal, not more than two. I don't know what that is.
''We've got to find a way to win some games on the road if we want to keep our season going. We know that.''

TUCSON - Sophia and Fernando Richter are each facing multiple charges of child abuse and kidnapping. Fernando also faces one count of sexual abuse of a minor.
At a morning news conference Wednesday Tucson Police Chief Roberto Villasenor talked about the investigation, and what the three girls have endured.
He said there was a security system in the house as well as surveillance cameras in the girls bedroom. The chief also talked about the girls being locked in their rooms and that loud music was played constantly in their rooms.
The 17-year-old had a satchel, in it she kept a journal of the last year and a half. She also had a picture of singer Enrique Iglesias. The chief says detectives are going through the journal, and returned the picture of Iglesias to the girl on Tuesday night. Villaseñor said the girl told officers the picture was "her most prized possession."
The Chief was asked if Tucson police had responded to the house on Estrella street prior to Tuesday, "We've had a few contacts at the house nothing related back to this incident."
The incidents dealt with calls Fernando Ricther made to police. "One of them dealt with the stepfather, being chased by some juvenile males. He cancelled the call prior to our arrival. Another involved a robbery of the father as well."
Chief Villasenor says the mother, Sophia claims the girls were being home schooled. It was also mentioned the couple didn't have a car, nor jobs.
When asked if the girls were telling the police the truth about being imprisoned, and only getting fed once a day, the Chief responded, "The condition of the children, the unkempt, filthy condition they were in the condition of the house evidence that was found inside the bedrooms indicates the validity to what the children are telling us."

Judge springs infomercial king Kevin Trudeau from jail — for now
By KIM JANSSEN Federal Courts Reporter September 19, 2013 1:19PM
Kevin Trudeau leaves the Metropolitan Corrections Center after his release following a one-night stay in September. | Sun-Times Media file photo
Updated: October 21, 2013 2:13PM
After spending just one night locked up in a federal jail, former infomercial king Kevin Trudeau is a free man again.
But U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman — who jailed Trudeau on Wednesday only to free him Thursday — said he'd keep the smooth-talking 50-year-old fraudster and alleged multi-millionaire on "a very tight leash."
If Trudeau doesn't come clean about just how rich he is, he'll be back in custody next week, the judge warned. Trudeau said "no comment" to reporters as he left the Metropolitan Correctional Center and entered a taxi.
Trudeau, of Oak Brook, has for five years failed to pay a single cent of the $38 million fine Gettleman imposed on him for flouting a court-ordered ban on making false claims in his diet book infomercials.
The judge this week finally lost patience with Trudeau's insistence that he is broke and can't pay the fine after learning that Trudeau went on a luxury spending spree just days after he'd been ordered to limit his spending to necessities last month.
Those luxuries included two $180 Vidal Sassoon haircuts, $900 worth of cigars and $1,000 in meat he bought from an up-market website.
While he was locked up in the downtown Metropolitan Correctional Center, Trudeau was ordered to meet with court-appointed receivers who are trying to take control of his complicated web of overseas businesses and offshore accounts so that the fine can be paid.
But the receiver, Kenton Johnson, told Gettleman at Thursday's hearing that he continued to have "questions and troubling thoughts" about Trudeau's "fairly consistent failure of memory and lack of detail" about where all his money is.
For example, Trudeau claimed he couldn't remember where $100,000 in gold bars he bought his wife went, or which towns or banks some of his many accounts were held in, Johnson said.
Johnson said he also was concerned about $644,000 paid from a firm Trudeau controlled to another business he owned in Switzerland — an account he said was set up so that Trudeau could live permanently abroad. Trudeau claimed the payments were for his speaking fees, but a former Trudeau employee in London says they were payments from what the government alleges was a pyramid scheme.
Gettleman noted that accounts from that business, Global Information Network, show millions of dollars being paid out to people he had never heard of.
"You're saying you're broke Mr. Trudeau, and it's pretty hard to swallow," the judge said, adding that he'd "seriously entertain" closing down GIN.
But Trudeau — wearing an orange Bureau of Prisons jumpsuit in place of his usual high-end tailoring — told the judge he'd tried to be straight with the receiver.
"I'm penniless and homeless," he said.
Gettleman ordered him to continue meeting with the receiver while he's free and to return to court next Thursday. If he doesn't come clean by then, "You're going to end up wearing the same color you're wearing now," Gettleman said, referring to the orange jail scrubs.
Trudeau's long-standing legal difficulties stem from his book, "The Weight-Loss Cure 'They' Don't Want You to Know About," which he falsely advertised as giving "easy" solutions to weight loss.
The $38 million fine — if it's ever paid — will be shared among readers who bought the book.

How to Know a Girl's Feelings
You will be able to know a girl's thoughts and feelings. These tips will help prevent conflict with a girl.
1If a girl is showing disinterest in you, don't bother showing interest to her.Ad
2When you talk to a girl, make sure she looks at you. If she looks somewhere else, she is bored or not interested.
3If you know she is not interested then stay away from her. If you get too close, she might feel uncomfortable.
4Be yourself when you talk to a girl. Don't act like someone you aren't. THEY CAN ALWAYS TELL!!! If they don't notice right away, they'll notice eventually.
5Have self-confidence.
6If you walk in a room and there is a girl you like, be yourself. Check once in a while if she is looking at you. If she is looking at you, you know she is interested in you. This is a sign to move closer.
7When you are close, and if she is still interested, it's time to talk to her.
8Usually a girl will try to hold eye contact for a long time if she's interested.
9If she is hanging out with other friends (even a guy friend) don't pull her out, just ease her in. But if she's with another guy friend that she seems interested in, don't try to go with her. Go to someone else.
10When she glances at you, she wants YOU to talk to HER. This might be a sign that she's too insecure to make the move. And this is an invitation for you to make the first move, SO don't feel uncomfortable.
11Don't talk about other girls around her. If you like her, she might like you, and girls hate it when guys try to make them jealous.
12If the girl has a reputation of cheating, don't bother wasting your time, buddy. She will cheat.
13If the girl is interested in you, don't change the subjects a lot.
14The girl likes it when you ask for her number. Not the other way around.
15DO NOT be afraid to let a girl know you are interested in her. She just might be interested in you.Ad
We could really use your help!

- Girls hate it when boys put on a different personality when they are around their guy friends. If you act like yourself, she'll really appreciate that.
- Intense eye contact is also a sign.
- A wide smile is a sign she likes you.
- A girl usually puts on a shy, innocent voice when they are interested in you.
- Often, girls say something but they mean something else. Rely on their facial expression, body language, and tone of voice as much as what they actually say.
- Be aware that they may be FAKING disinterest! Don't give up too easily, but don't obsess over her.
- Usually when a girl asks for more than one hug, they are interested. But be careful. They might not be.
- When you hug the girl, try to make it as long as you can, without creeping her out. But usually the girl will hold it long with you if they are interested. But if the girl says "um...wow." or "okay then" they are not as interested and might not be interested at all.
- Girls tend to bite their lip (mostly on the side) when they are interested.
- If a girl is usually licking her bottom lip or tilting her head when she is talking to you then it is a sign that she likes you.
- If there is music in the background, and if it's up-beat, dance with her.
- Practice by talking to a mirror.

Newark mayor saves woman in house fire
The mayor of New Jersey's largest city acted with heroism Thursday night when he ran into a burning home to rescue a woman inside, before the fire department had time to arrive.
Mayor Cory Booker, 42, of Newark had just been returning home from a television interview when he heard yelling coming from a burning home. According to The Associated Press, Booker's security detail tried to stop him from entering the home. However, Booker but did it anyways "without thinking twice." He recalled having fear as the house fire grew more intense.
"I punched through the kitchen and the flames and that's when I saw Det. Rodriguez. He grabbed her as well and we got her down the stairs and we both just collapsed outside," Booker said.
Booker escaped the fire and was treated for minor burns and smoke inhalation at a hospital where he said he was having difficulty breathing, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Booker said his moment of bravery gave him even more respect for the firefighters who risk their lives.
"Honestly it was terrifying and to look back and see nothing but flames and to look in front of you and see nothing but blackness."
Booker tweeted to his followers shortly after the event, "We got the woman out of the house. We are both off to hospital. I will b ok."
Booker, an up-and-coming Democratic politician has earned respect for lending a helping hand in times of need, including the time he helped shovel snow during the 2010 blizzard.

in good years and 10-15% in periods of slow growth. The stock price right now seems to be factoring in a far higher growth over a long period.

BIO 202 at RIO (online)?
- 0May 16, '08 by RobynBobbinI'm trying to decide if I should take BIO 202 online at RIO this summer.
I checked out the mini syllabus and the mention of only 2 tests and essay questions kind of scared me off.
Anyone taken it there? Was it really hard?
I would to be able to get it out of the way. If I finish BIO 202 & the CNA course this summer I could get into nursing school in Jan. If I don't, I'd have to wait until Fall 09. Thanks.
- 0May 16, '08 by MassagetoRNHi,
I don't mean to scare you, but I took the 8 week version of this exact class. I failed it the first time around, and the second I barely got a C. Its absolutely insane!!! You basically teach yourself, and the text is extremely upper level. I don't recommend it at all! With the 8 week class, the week is divided in half. Sun-Wed you read a chapter, about 40 pages and then take do a couple of lab assignments and maybe a quiz. The second half of the week, Thurs-Sat you read another chpt, 40 pages, take a quiz and write an essay. The instructor you get makes a huge difference. The 1st time around, he hated my essays. The second time around with a different teacher, I submitted the exact same essays and got much better grades. Again, I don't recommend this class, as I even wrote the college stating it shouldn't be offered in an 8 week format. If you do attempt is, take no other classes and be prepared to spend 20+ hours a week on this class. Sorry!
- 0May 17, '08 by HJS27Depends on you. How much time do you have? If you have lots of other demands on your time, the class will be quite a challenge...lots of information in a short time, and you really need to retain the information as all your nursing courses build on it. What kind of learner are you? You basically need to be able to teach the information to yourself...if you are an independent learner who picks up and retains information quickly, you probably have what it takes to successfully pass this class. Good luck!:wink2:
- 0May 21, '08 by mxemsI took all my pre-reqs on-line. BIO202 was tough. I spent a ton of time in the book reading and re-reading. If you have the time to devote to the class, then I would say go for it. If not, then don't. You really have to dedicate yourself to these on-line science classes. I got a high C. I was dissapointed with it, but I didn't really have the option of a classroom environment either.
- 0May 21, '08 by mcbismarkI also took all my pre-reqs online from Rio...
1) if you haven't taken an online class previously, do not take a difficult class in an accelerated format.
2) if you can not dedicate yourself to this one class completely I would strongly suggest you avoid it.
3) make sure your grade point average can taking a hit from getting a grade lower than you would expect...
Yeah I suspect you can tell I think taking A&P II might be a killer in an accelerated class...
- 0May 21, '08 by RobynBobbinI have decided to take it online at Central Arizona College. Wish me luck!
- 0May 21, '08 by KnorremeisjeI took BIO201 online at Rio over 16 weeks. It was terrible. I enjoyed every other class I've taken online, but not this one. Maybe combining it with CHM130 and ENG101 was not a good strategy either. However, I still got a high B and ended up doing okay. However, it did urge me to take BIO202 in person! So I'm taking BIO202 over the summer at Mesa CC.
- 0May 21, '08 by TinkRN8I have to agree with Knorrmeisje and everyone else, I would recommend taking the BIO202 either in person or online through MCC, Gateway, Phoenix...basically any other school but Rio...and definately NOT the accelerated course. I have taken all of my pre-req's through Rio, including Bio 201, which I just finished last month. I absolutely LOVED my instructor, she was awesome. However, the way that Rio structures their anatomy classes in particular is not up to par, in my opinion. You pay almost $50 for the "lab kit", which is the body systems DVD, which was not even really utilized in the course. I mean, one of the main points of anatomy is the dissection and identifying body structures and systems and discussing their physiology. You just aren't going to get that through the Rio courses. I too got a high B, but I came out of the course really wondering if I actually learned anything. It was just completely random, and I was so disappointed. I was expecting so much more out of the class than what I got. I am actually composing an email to send in to the administration letting them know my feelings about the class. Not that they would do anything, but it will make me feel better. I plan on taking 202 either in person at one of the campuses or online through Phoenix College. Anyway, just wanted to add my . Good luck with whatever you decide.
- 0May 21, '08 by AZMOMO2, ASNI hear Central AZ's Bio 202 is pretty good. I am enrolled to start the Rio one but I am considering the CAC route instead. I just didn't want to have to buy a whole new book but I HATED the Bio 201 format. The final was so freakin' random it nearly killed my whole grade.
- 0May 22, '08 by mcbismarkQuote from AZMOMO2The mid-term and final did kill mine... high 80s is not what I wanted in A&P... I didn't have much choice in how to take them and get them all done though...I hear Central AZ's Bio 202 is pretty good. I am enrolled to start the Rio one but I am considering the CAC route instead. I just didn't want to have to buy a whole new book but I HATED the Bio 201 format. The final was so freakin' random it nearly killed my whole grade.

6 New Flying Toys to Get You Outdoors This Summer
Getting a toy to maintain flight used to be difficult, with the possible exception of some well-folded pieces of paper. Now, would-be miniature aviators have it a lot easier. A number of consumer robotics and toy companies offer products that take little more than a full charge and a clear line of sight to reach flight. Little assembly, but maybe some batteries, required. Here are six of our favorite new flying toys.
By Seth Porges
WowWee FlyTech Hoverpod Racer
Calling this a "flying" toy may be a bit of stretch. Think of it more as a levitating racer. Using a fan, the Hoverpod maintains a steady just-above-the-floor hover as it races across smooth surfaces (it can even handle low-pile carpets). The remote-control rudders allow you to steer it in and around obstacles . However, like some other WowWee toys, the battery life is disappointingjust 5 minutes of "flight" per charge.

I'm actually headed there tomorrow to pick up some new fitness apparel, but now I'm definitely going to have to stop in the KIDS section and pick up my son some new outfits :)
Getting My Kids Styled at Old Navy's Kids & Baby Sale
I have to admit, when it comes to buying clothes for my sons, I may have a bit of a shopping problem. I love browsing the racks and finding cute little outfits and awesome sales. When I heard about Old Navy's Kids & Baby Sale, I couldn't wait to check it out. My two and three year old are in desperate need of some new clothes since they are rapidly growing into little men. So yesterday, I took my three year old to my local Old Navy store to let him pick out some new clothes for him and his brothers.
We headed to the back of the store to the kids department and immediately I noticed a lot of sale signage. There were numerous displays that featured apparel on sale up to 40% off regular price; Just the kind of deals I like. Of course we had to look at the licensed tees that featured cartoon characters and superheroes. They were on sale for just $8, so I had to get a few for the boys as well as some $5 graphic tees. There was a huge selection of pants and shorts on sale for $8-12, perfect to gear up for the spring. The only problem I had with shopping the Kids & Baby Sale was limiting myself to not filling my cart with hundreds of dollars of cute clothes and trying to get my son to stop throwing one of everything in the cart.
After spending about forty minutes in Old Navy, we settled on five shirts, two shorts, and two pairs of pants for the boys and spent under $80. I couldn't be more happy about the start to their new spring wardrobe. When we were checking out, the nice gentleman working gave my son a balloon and I think that ended up being his favorite part of the shopping trip.
After we got home, Ethan couldn't wait to show his brothers what he picked out for them and insisted they wear some of their new clothes right away. They picked out the $5 graphic tees and a pair of pants and shorts. After that, it they had some fun time playing with their new balloon. Sometimes the simpliest things can keep them entertained for hours.
The Kids and Baby Sale ends February 20th, so there is still time to shop in-stores or online. For the latest sales and coupons, be sure to become a fan of Old Navy on Old Navy on Facebook.

The International School of Curaçao (ISC) is a K-12, accredited, private, non-profit, coeducational day school that provides instruction in English. ISC was founded in 1967 and offers a rigorous academic program in order to prepare students who plan to pursue higher learning at colleges and universities around the world. The School year extends from mid-August to mid-June.
Organization: The School is governed by a 9-member Board of Directors and is recognized by the local government of Curacao, a country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Curriculum: ISC offers a combination of international and U.S. curriculum to serve our diverse and globally mobile population. Teachers use proven best practices, research based strategies, and U.S. educational resources and textbooks. The language of instruction is English. Academic areas include English, mathematics, social studies science, information technology, art, music, physical education, and English-as-a-Second-Language. Dutch and Spanish languages are also taught at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels to native and non-natives speakers. ISC offers Advanced Placement courses in Spanish language and literature, and an International Baccalaureate diploma program in the high school. An after-school activities program provides opportunities for students to explore other interests. ISC is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and is working toward obtaining accreditation from the Council of International Schools (CIS).
Faculty: In the 2011-2012 school year there are 48 full-time and 8 part-time faculty members. Teachers represent more than 8 different nationalities.
Enrollment: At the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year enrollment was 474 (Kindergarten.-grade 5: 201; grades 6-8: 106, grades 9-12: 167), representing 30 different countries.
Facilities: ISC has a typical Caribbean architecture with one story buildings and open spaces. The buildings on the west accommodate the kindergarten, elementary and middle school. The 3 spacious kindergarten rooms are situated in 1 building and have their own playground and bathrooms. The elementary and middle schools consist of a total of 28 rooms which includes a science lab, 2 music rooms, 2 ESL rooms, 3 learning resource rooms, and a state of the art – art room. There is also a co-ed survival room with cooking facilities. The library has been revamped and a kindergarten/elementary section was added recently. A modern computer room, which is located in the library building, also forms part of the classrooms complex on the west side of campus. The play areas for the elementary and middle school are separate and include a basketball court. Numerous renovations and new buildings have been added in the past few years, including elementary and middle school classrooms, and a new art room. The high school is on the east side of the street that separates both campuses and consists of 15 rooms which includes 2 science labs, 2 art rooms, and a computer lab. Included in the total of 15 rooms is the recently added contemporary wing which includes 5 classrooms, a computer lab, a faculty room, and toilet facilities. ISC is very proud of their gym/auditorium, which was completed in 2006. The facilities include: a court for various sports, a stage, and is even equipped with acoustic panels for the school band/orchestra performances.
Finances: In the 2011-2012 school year, about 98% of the School's income derives from tuition. Annual tuition rates are as follows: K-3: $4,019; K-4: $5,824; K-5: $7,165; grades 1-5: $9,319; grades 6-8: $10,426; and grades 9-12: $12,637. (All fees are quoted in U.S. dollars.)

Recoupment or Windfall?
Reports have emerged that the Falcons are going to seek to recover $22 million of signing bonus money from Michael Vick. It is too early to predict whether the Falcons will be successful in recouping any or all of that money. Maybe even the players union will make an appearance. Maybe they will have something to say about recouping money from a player that is able to play (Vick's incarceration likely won't begin for months) and whether Goodell is making suspension determinations in the name of discipline or providing windfalls for owners.
Still, there are some reasons beyond the text of the player contract or the collective bargaining agreement why the Falcons might want to go easy on this one.
Firstly, Michael Vick made the Falcons PLENTY of money. Far more than $22 million or any salary they have paid Michael Vick. He sells the seats, the luxury boxes and the jerseys... Or at least he did. The Falcons can just invest their number 7 profits and collect the interest. If you're going to milk a man dry, at least do it in the Shield tradition and make him leave everything on the field.
The Falcons shouldn't necessarily be rewarded for their own conduct concerning the Vick matter. Arthur Blank chose to hover in the shadow of Goodell. That was his choice and his choice alone. If Blank was really about the bottom line, which is always clearer than the murky path of good public relations, he would be doing everything he could to keep his gift horse on the field. Arthur Blank is in the unique position of being dependent on essentially one player. The Falcons, as a team, have little goodwill in Atlanta. PETA, while loud and annoying, is not numerous enough to obstruct all the gates of the Georgia Dome. Another team is going to sign Michael Vick when he is available again. Blank could have chosen to ride the rough patch out and carried on with business. You can't give away money and then ask for it back.
Why should the Falcons be able to recoup all those millions from Michael when the Falcons could have spent a few thousand dollars on a private investigator? Then they would have known about Vick's activities and potentially been in a position to control them. The government was able to detail Vick's activities in a matter of weeks. Yet, the Falcons gave him over a hundred million dollars over a course of years, and they plead ignorance over how he spent his spare time. That's laughable. And just negligent.
Only an NFL emboldened by seemingly limitless powers over the players would sign off on the Falcons doing this. However, any agent with a brain is going to realize that the signing bonus is becoming increasingly vulnerable. Some players may instead opt to insist on higher base salaries or front loaded contracts. If that comes to fruition, the whole league will pay.
And what about the fans? For months, it seems like I have been waking up to bad news about the Falcons every morning. Michael Vick and the Falcons have caused me an incredible amount of fatigue. I want it to be over. I want to move on and enjoy sports and have fun with it. Yet, the Falcons choose to subject me and other sports fans to morning headlines about the status of their litigation with Michael Vick. They could choose to propose a reasonable settlement that would provide little consternation in lieu of playing hardball. There is difference between exercising the rights that are technically available to you and being fair. Instead, they are volunteering to jump on top of the pile on that is smothering all football fans, not just Vick. Please, spare me.

Pitchers need to miss bats to strike batters out at the rates that fantasy GMs need to compete for titles.
Swinging strike percentage shows exactly how well pitchers do that. A pitcher simply has more control of the situation if he can get a batter to swing and miss. Pitchers who have higher swinging strike percentages tend to have lower than average LOB %. A swinging strike can be the difference between stranding runners or letting them score. Swinging strikes don't just look cool in highlight reels. They can actually influence strand rate and strand rate influences ERA. It's really another common sense thing. Get a batter to screw himself into the ground and the pitcher gets out of the jam and keeps runners from advancing. Runners can only advance when the ball is in play. It's hard to do that when a batter is making the walk of shame.
Some men are good at this. We'll call them "Leaders." Some…lack this ability. We'll call them "Laggards." Now, for this week's Leaders and Laggards: Swinging strike percentage edition..
|1. Michael Pineda
|2. Brandon Morrow
|3. Cole Hamels
|4. Matt Garza
|5. CC Sabathia
|6. Clayton Kershaw
|7. Anibal Sanchez
|8. Roy Halladay
|9. Tim Lincecum
|10. James Shields
Michael Pineda misses bats. Everyone knows this. The concerns with Pineda have nothing to do with his on-field talents. He has elite level stuff and it shows in his swinging strike %. The problem is that he's a fly ball pitcher moving from a pitcher's park to a hitter's park. His fly ball percentage at home(44.8%) was essentially identical to his fly ball rate on the road(44.7%). He probably should maintain a lower than average BABIP given his high fly ball rates, but that could spell trouble in New Yankee Stadium.
Brandon Morrow's fantasy stock has dipped. It's not that he doesn't possess elite skill, but it seems like his hype train has been derailed. Fantasy GMs should take advantage and hop aboard  Morrow train. He owns a career K/9 of 10.06 and misses enough bats to maintain it. Morrow can easily top 220 K's if he can reach 200 innings pitched. His xFIP numbers(3.53) also indicate that he's more skilled than his 2011 numbers would have us believe. He's a reasonable risk for a solid return.
Cole Hamels is a solid option for 2012, but he does have some warts. He had off-season surgery to clean up "lose bodies†in his elbow. He's reporting that his change-up has improved since the surgery, but it's always a red flag when guys are going under the knife. Hamels was also incredibly lucky on balls in play in 2011. He has the stuff to maintain a high K/9, but that .255 BABIP in 2011 should have fantasy GMs concerned. Not concerned enough to leave him off a draft board, but he could be due for a regression in 2012.
Matt Garza enjoyed the move to the NL. He posted career high's in K%, K/9 and posted a double digit swinging strike percentage for the first time in his career. Garza is a solid bet to provide K's and above average ratios. His overall value might be limited due to a mediocre win total. This Cubs team he's stuck on won't provide much in terms of run support.
CC Sabathia's swinging strike percentage rebounded from 9.4% in 2010 back up to 11.2% in 2012. He started throwing his curveball again last year and only used his change up 13.4% of the time. CC is in that upper tier of starting pitchers. He might need more innings than most, but he should be at or above 200 K's this year and every year until he finally does start to break down.
Clayton Kershaw took "The Leap†in 2011. Kershaw posted a career high 11.1% swinging stike percentage, struck out 9.57 batters per nine inning and lowered his walk rate to 5.9%. He should be among the league leaders in K's again in 2012. The problem with Kershaw is that he threw his slider 25.5% of the time and he's basically given up on his curveball. The slider is the pitch that chews up elbows and sends them screaming to Dr. Andrews. That's an awful lot of strain to put on such a young arm. There's no reason to be concerned until it's an issue, but it's something fantasy GM's need to keep in the back of their mind.
Stuff has never been a concern with Anibal Sanchez. Health has always been a concern with Anibal Sanchez. It looks like Sanchez finally got healthy in 2011 and turned in a career year. He already has a visit to Dr. Andrews under his belt from a 2007 labrum repair and had issues again in 2009. He managed to stay healthy for all of 2010 and came back even stronger in 2011. His fastball has gained velocity every year since 2008 and his swinging strike percentage has been on an upwards trend for the past two seasons. He's finally putting it together and aren't any red flags heading into 2012.
Roy Halladay is capable of missing bats. We have data from as far back as 1998 that would indicate this. He's elite. He's also in his age 35 season, but hasn't shown any signs of slowing down. The only concern with Halladay is his 2006 and 2007 seasons. The reasons aren't quite clear, but he suffered a drop in velocity and posted sub 6.00 K/9 numbers. Would anyone be shocked if he was pitching with a hidden injury? Halladay needs to be traded off your roster if you ever see a dip in velocity. He won't produce the return on value given his status as a high/expensive draft pick.
Tim Lincecum has lost over two MPH off his fastball since his rookie year, but seems to have found a way to live with it. He's been using his slider more and more and still has the ability to miss bats. Health is always a concern with a guy as small as Lincecum, but he's defied conventional wisdom so far. Who's to say he won't continue?
We all know that James Shields was able to replace the four-leaf clover that he had lost in 2010 and enjoyed an insanely lucky season after a disastrous 2010 campaign. He's due to regress some, but he's also capable of missing enough bats to be fantasy relevant in 2012. Shields is a solid option with a more than capable K-rate. Fantasy owners shouldn't be scared off. He was due for big regression and he got it.
|1. Brad Penny
|2. Bartolo Colon
|3. Mike Pelfrey
|4. Paul Maholm
|5. Bronson Arroyo
|6. Kyle Lohse
|7. Wade Davis
|8. Joe Saunders
|9. Jake Westbrook
|10. Rick Porcello
Brad Penny is pitching overseas and won't be fantasy relevant in 2011. He probably wouldn't be fantasy relevant anyway given the fact that he can't really miss bats any more.
It's a surprise to find Bartolo Colon on this list because he posted a 7.39 K/9 ratio. Colon did so while not missing a whole lot of bats. It would be surprise to see Colon post high K-numbers, but he could very well provide solid ratios while pitching half his games in Oakland. He actually had decent velocity for a guy who's been in the big leagues since '97 and weighs over 350 lbs.
Mike Pelfrey has never posted a K-rate over 13.2% in his career and it doesn't look like he ever will. Pelfrey has decent enough velocity, but he just doesn't miss many bats or produce K numbers that fantasy GMs need to win leagues. He's moving into the "give us five or six each time out and that's all we expect†part of his career. Pelfrey is waiver wire fodder at this point.
Paul Maholm is a league average slappy who won't provide much fantasy value even if he earns a spot in the Cubs rotation(big, big IF right now). He doesn't miss bats and he doesn't strike out enough batter to matter in fantasy baseball.
Bronson Arroyo is entering his age 35 season and his the average velocity on his fastball was a career low 87.0 MPH. He just doesn't have the stuff to post average K-numbers any more and he wasn't fooling hitters in 2011. That's a bad sign for a fly ball pitcher who throws half his games in the Great American Ballpark.
Kyle Lohse seems to be able to stick around long enough in games to earn double digit wins when he stays healthy for a season. Whatever. He doesn't miss bats, he doesn't strike batters out and disaster is usually right around the corner. He's a stay away in anything except a deep NL-only league.
Wade Davis has always posted high K-rates in the minors, but his minor league numbers haven't translated to big league success. He has two full years in the big leagues and the results haven't been there. He's a fifth starter with little upside at this point. He's turned into a fly ball pitcher who walks too many and strikes out too few. A stay away in every format except deep AL-only leagues.
The fact that the Arizona Diamondbacks continue to inflict Joe Saunders on the baseball watching public should be a criminal offense. Saunders gets by in the big leagues by putting lots of balls in play. He doesn't walk many, but he doesn't miss bats or strike anyone out either. He's subject to the whims of the great magnet. He does well when fielders can catch the ball, but gets clobbered when they don't. Joe Saunders is not a name a fantasy GM should want to see on his or her roster.
Jake Westbrook is also in the Saunders zone, but he's in his age 35 season. He puts too many balls in play and isn't capable of striking batters out. He manages to stick around long enough to get double digit wins, but that's all he offers.
Rick Porcello has gained steam as a pre-season sleeper pick. There really isn't much reason for him to be viewed as a sleeper other than his age and the fact that he plays for Detroit. He's never missed enough bats to strike out enough batters to matter. Porcello has a solid walk rate, but that's all he has. His 4.00 xFIP claims he's a better pitcher than his 4.75 ERA shows he pitched as in 2011, but is 4.00 exciting enough to warrant sleeper status? He won 14 games last year. Whoopee. He also killed you with a 1.41 WHIP.

The Works Progress Administration, or WPA, was a one of the largest New Deal programs instituted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Great Depression. It provided jobs to unemployed workers, usually through civic improvement projects.
Davis still bears the stamp of these WPA projects—literally. Perhaps you've seen the "WPA" initials imprinted in a sidewalk while strolling through old North Davis. These sidewalks were laid in the late 1930's with federal funding through the Works Progress Administration. Look on the corner curbs at intersections for the most obvious stamps, especially along C Street.
Below is a gallery of WPA marks in Davis. Add any that you find, and be sure to mention where you found it!

My MW put me on Floridex liquid. You can get it at the health food store. It's kind of gross, and I do it like a shot with a juice chaser- but it doesn't constipate me AT ALL like iron pills. Other crunchy suggestions she had- raw pumpkin seeds (also at the health food store) and alfalfa/mint tea. I got my hemoglobin WAY up in 2 weeks by doing all 3 of these things.
Slo FE is working alright for me. I'm not any more constipated than I was before I started, plus it hasn't given me an upset stomach once. I was advised to take it on an empty stomach with orange juice and it's been fine on my system. I only gave up the orange juice because I got the GD too, and it was throwing off my blood sugar.

Keep up to date on the work we do.
Triple Care Farm (the Foundation's major funding project), is a residential rehabilitation and treatment program for young people between the ages of 16-24 years, from all over Australia. The Farm, located in Robertson NSW, provides an ideal environment of peace and healing for emotionally hurt and troubled youth, most of whom present with comorbid mental health and drug and alcohol issues, with a staggering one in three, who have previously attempted suicide.
The approach of Triple Care Farm is best described as holistic because it seeks to observe and understand the social, environmental, physical, mental and vocational antecedents and after-effects of addiction. The students experience contact with adults who are caring and consistent, which creates an atmosphere of safety and security. Over a 12 week period, the Farm takes the first step in re-building broken lives, gently helping young people to untangle their problems while equipping them with the skills to make a positive change in their lives.
During their stay, students receive personal counselling from psychologists along with family mediation if required. Group work sessions and educational programs on drug and alcohol related issues are offered. The young people become part of an extended family and participate in communal household activities which help them to develop their social and living skills. They also take part in a variety of courses (some accredited) such as panel beating and spray painting, woodwork, landscaping, farming techniques, art, music, literacy, numeracy and computer skills. To read more about the structure of the program click here.
Triple Care Farm is believed to be one of the most successful programs of its kind in Australia, with the majority of graduates moving into jobs, apprenticeships or further education. At the end of their stay, the students graduate from the program and are placed in supportive environments such as group homes, back with families or independent living. Community support networks are established and follow-up continues for three to six months after the students leave the Farm.

FILE -- In this Dec. 11, 1995 file photo, Diana, Princess of Wales, smiles at the United Cerebral Palsy's annual dinner at the New York Hilton. Princess Diana would have been 50 years old on Friday, July 1, 2011, perhaps the only certainty about the course of a life abruptly cut short in a 1997 car crash in Paris, with a new boyfriend, two months past her 36th birthday. (AP Photo/ Mark Lennihan,file)
PARIS (AP) — Admirers from around the world are paying tribute to Princess Diana at the Paris tunnel where she was killed in a car crash 15 years ago.
Tourists prayed in front of the Flame of Liberty monument to Diana above the site. Flowers, photos and messages were piled around.
British visitor Patricia Williams said Friday that Diana "became an icon. She was a very beautiful woman and things have passed on now. But Charles is now happy and I hope her sons have come to terms with it."
Princess Diana and her partner Dodi Al Fayed died when the Mercedes they were in plowed into a pillar in the Alma Tunnel on Aug. 31, 1997. French police said driver Henri Paul, who also died, had been drinking heavily and was speeding.

Thanks for the tip. Mine's the Susi which doesn't have that - but it's
still very good! If I ever have to replace it I'd get the Susi 2 that

HOUSTON A family outing led to a trip to jail for a Houston dad who allegedly left his daughter and two nieces alone for two hours at RodeoHouston.
Ralph Robinson, 22, is charged with three counts of child abandonment.
According to police, Robinson took the three girls, ages 4, 6 and 7, to the show Sunday night.
But a woman sitting next to the kids said Robinson left the girls there for two hours, returning only once to check on them.
The woman called security, and guards took the kids into custody and detained Robinson until police arrived.
Robinson was taken to the Harris County Jail, where he remained Monday on $6,000 bond.

Welcome back Chrissy! You have been missed terribly! Can't wait to hear an update about you!
|Thu, 11-22-2012 - 9:44am
Thanks girls, I'm just glad you didn't forget me! lol
I don't what I've told you in my few pop ins over the year. So I might repeat myself. As you know, I have two jobs that keep me very busy. The one is at an old age home where I do housekeeping and laundry. LOVE the residents, they make me smile and although we are not supposed to have our favorites, I do! My boss is great, and treats me well. About a month ago she told me I was a Godsend and I was the easy part of her job. Today, it's the annual job evaluation when I go in so I'm hoping that hasn't changed! lol My other job is at the dollar store here, she works around my hours at Belvedere which is perfect. Between the two this summer I barely had a day off. I added up my hours for August (haven't had time to add the rest) and just for that month I had 212 hours. I'm happy to say that I pay all my bills and my rent on my own. I don't get any help from Ken financially. We called it even since we each have one to look after. As I mentioned in a QOTD post, him and I are getting along better then ever. He does helps me out with the small things. Like for instance my toilet needed something and he went out and bought it for me while he was here. My oven element blew, he bought and changed that for me both of which I never asked him too, my internet hook up, I called him to see what I needed because he always took care of that stuff, I know nothing of computers other then how to play on them. lol When he was up in the summer, I actually had one day off where I could spend the day out at the lake with both kids, and him. He was our boat driver. Took the kids swimming, boating, fishing, cliff jumping. Kyle turned to Ken and I when we were laughing and joking around and said. "You know, I was thrilled about what happened, but I am really glad you two can still get along". It was a great day. Spent the night out there at his dad's with all of them...his dad misses me...as do I him. Alyssa's 18th birthday they were up here and we all went out to breakfast together. If his Dad doesn't keep him busy this weekend, he is invited to Thanksgiving dinner....They are coming up tonight or tomorrow, spur of the moment trip so I get to do Turkey dinner for my kiddos! I was booked at work but she let me change my shifts around with a co-worker, like I said, she's good to me. So, I'm looking forward to the weekend and they will be back up for Christmas too. I have my own little two bedroom apartment, it's nothing fancy but the price is right and with all my stuff finally unpacked and my stuff on the walls it's starting to feel like home. Alyssa is doing well, she misses them of course and we both have our days where we just cry. I still can't sit still for long...think too much. Kyle is still having a hard time. I wish he would just come live with me. He's told me he wants too, but he will not leave his dad alone. There's a good chance when he's done school (Ken) next summer that he could have a good job up here so I'm keeping my prayers on that one. Would make it a whole lot easier on the kids! And if I'm being selfish, me! It hasn't gotten any easier Kyle wise. Breaks my heart that he can't be with me but I'm plugging away. If I dwell on it too much I'll be commited. People ask me about him and I can't talk about it without tearing up so they are learning not to ask! lol But other then that, things are good. Ken has a new girlfriend and has moved on. I'm seeing an old boyfriend from my teenage years....the only one I have wondered about all these years. Haven't seen each other in 22 years and we both came back to Parry Sound on the exact same day, weird! Didn't know either was in town until 3 weeks after that day. My family has been great, a little over protective, but great. All summer I got comments about how I don't seem my old chipper self....well lets see. I went from being a housewife of the last 19 years to working two jobs at 200 plus hours a month, hardly a day off, can't sleep when I do, bills and rent to worry about, I don't have my son, yeah, it's bound to change a person not to mention I'm exhausted! lol Anyway, that's it for my boring you with my life for now. I have to get ready for work. It's really good to be back here!! And excuse the typos, I don't have time to look back and check them ;)

I am so happy to have you back, Chrissy. Sounds like you have a nice routine set. I know all too well the missing your kid feeling. Mine are with their dad now. I want them here. Oh, well. I sure don't want him back.
Glad you have found someone. Too weird on his moving back the same day too. SOunds like it's meant to be.
And again, so glad to have you back.

Thanks for the update, Chrissy! No, we could never forget you!! I am really glad that you are keeping busy and that you are feeling so good about yourself and your independence. Glad that you are with your family who all support you too. Your jobs & bosses sound great!
I have to admit that I was shocked when you told us you had left ken, moved out and was back in your home town. I guess I never really sensed or read anything in your posts that you were on the verge of that. I knew that Ken being home a lot after his injury was not fun but I guess I just didn't realize the severity of the situation. Sorry if I was not very supportive...
I do hope that Ken can get a job near you again and I am happy that you two get along and that he helps you as much as he does. I can't believe it's been a year.... is your divorce final? Glad that you and Ken have both found someone ... how do Alyssa & Kyle feel about them?
Thanks again for the update... and don't go running off again... we missed the heck out of you!!
