Kaija Rolin Barrett, a 2014 graduate Eastside High School, was named to the Academic Dean's list at St. John's University in Queens, New York.
Georgia College recognized some of Newton County's own high achievers this week, awarding five degrees to local residents and honoring over two dozen students for their scholastic aptitude and hard work.
Karen Morris, a resident of Covington, made the Fall 2014 Academic Achievement List at Georgia Southwestern State University and was among 468 students recognized for scholastic achievement.
The school year is in full swing, and parents of school-aged kids have no doubt been involved in at least one fundraiser already. Fundraisers help schools raise money for supplies or special activities that may not have been included in the budgets established by the local school district.
The Georgia Department of Education announced on Dec. 18 that West Newton Elementary School has been removed from the list of State Focus Schools after successfully decreasing the number of students not proficient by 18 percent. Overall, 38 schools were named from either the Priority or Focus Schools lists.

Georgia Perimeter College instructor Jeff Meadors has been named the 2010-2011 Counselor Advocate of the Year by Newton County Schools.
Sherri Davis-Viniard, director of public relations for Newton County Schools, has been named Region 2 Director for the Georgia School Public Relations Association.
Prom prep: Eastside High School's prom committee worked to keep the cost of its prom down by staging a fall festival on Saturday, with all proceeds going to the March 19 dance.
Newton County FFA Teams were very successful in competing at this year's Georgia National Fair in Perry, Georgia. The Newton County Beef Show Team won Second Place Beef Livestock Herdsman Award for its division and Newton High School received Honorable Mention for its Chapter Forestry Display.
The Newton County School System continues to surpass Georgia's average graduation rate, with 84.2 percent of county seniors graduating in 2010, compared to 80.8 percent of seniors statewide, according to information released on Tuesday. Newton County has also continued to post yearly increases in its graduation rate for all students.
Piedmont Academy's Fellowship of Christian Athletes attended "Tribulation Trail" in Stockbridge on Oct. 15. The dramatic, biblical presentation began in 1992 and is sponsored by several community churches in the area. The group walked through tiki-lantern lit paths through the woods to experience journeys based on the Bible's book of Revelations.
The R.L. Cousins class of 1965 celebrated their 45th reunion with activities from Sept. 17-19.
The Newton County Board of Education will save $9.7 million over several years and get a rebate every six months through its participation in the Qualified School Construction Bond Program, part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
"We estimate had you sold regular tax exempt bonds your interest cost would have been $9.7 million over the life of the bonds," said Bryce W. Holcomb Jr., director of the public finance department of Citigroup in Atlanta.
Nick Collins, the former head football coach for Newton High School, has resigned from the school system. The Newton County Board of Education voted to accept his resignation at Tuesday's meeting.
Collins was involved in an incident in August involving Felicia Jackson, the president of the team's booster club, and her juvenile son, a player on the team. According to an incident report from the Newton County Sheriff's Office, a meeting between Collins and Jackson became heated and as a result of that, her son quit the team and threw his gear near Collins. At that point ...

For the first 5 years, the blooms of my forsythias had increased as they grew. The 5th year was with the most packed bloom. Then, the 6th year almost nothing, and now the 7th year the same. I did not trim or cut the branches, so I don't understand why they don't bloom now. I have not done anything differently from the first 5 years. Any ideas?? Thanks |

Last year was not too bad. This winter though snowed 2 or 3 times, ha, in GA. Well, I saw other forsythias in the same town blooming this year now, but just not mine..... We do have deer here.. |

i lacked bloom a couple years ... my conclusion.. is that if they came active.. here in MI ... on an early warm spell ... and THEN FROZE or got hard frosted.. i lost bloom ... the problem usually is remember the weather event.. a few weeks back.. when i finally noticed lack of bloom ... F's fascinate me out here in the country ...in the local podunk town ... they bloom a week or two earlier.. as compared to 2 miles from such.. in my yard .. and across my 500 foot square lot.. 5 acres ... i have an 8 foot drop running east/west across the whole ... the ones at the top ... bloom one week later than town ... and the ones at the bottom ... half the time never bloom ... and when they do.. they are a week later than the higher ones... a couple hundred feet away ... my best theory.. is that cold air falls.. and moving air doesnt harm as fast as pooled stagnant air.. and the lower ones.. are harmed ... i cant think of any other reason for the mystery ... as an aside.. the hosta bed at the bottom.. also comes out of dormancy a week or two later ... so something is keeping the soil colder down there ... ken |
Yep, Ken, I noticed similar condition for my F's. They were always blooming 2 weeks later than others in the same town, even the adjacent neighborhood. |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Sat, Mar 8, 14 at 8:20
my theory of that.. is the concrete jungle ... in town.. no matter what size.. pavement of any kind.. traps and retains daytime sunshine and heat ... so that night temps are moderated ... thereby allowing spring to come even a few days earlier .... which means.. that they might miss a frost/freeze.. that would hit me.. just a few miles away ... meaning.. mine might not bloom.. any given spring .... ken |

I'm in Saratoga county in NY and all the Forsythia bushes are only blooming on the bottom half regardless of age of the plant. My theory is that we had our first really warm week April 7th through the 11th which stimulated the bushes to start...the following week we had serious below 32 degree F temperatures (frost) and 3 inches of snow landing on the top of the plants. Could this be the driver? |
- Posted by mad_gallica Z5 Eastern NY (My Page) on Tue, Apr 29, 14 at 11:25
No. Below freezing isn't nearly cold enough to damage forsythia flower buds. Forsythia bloom early enough that almost by definition they have to be able to withstand a fair amount of cold in bloom. |
- Posted by ilovemytrees 5b/6a Western, NY (My Page) on Thu, May 1, 14 at 16:09
I'm in Chautauqua County, NY and all 3 of my Forsythias are only bloomed at the bottom of them, and even at that not ALL of the bottom branches are bloomed. I'm extremely disappointed, because my shrubs had huge growth last summer, so I expected a spectacular show of blooms this month. |

Julie, an Eaglecrest cheerleader, leads the team off the mat and quickly finds a trash can to puke in. It happens at every performance, she says.
Hansen-Vigil is ecstatic. The girls showed the smiles and enthusiasm in spades. One of her assistants pumps a fist and says with assurance, "That was it! That was it!"
After releasing herself from the crush of elation, Jo Jo runs over, and in an oh-my-god exhilarated voice says, "Quote me on this: No matter what happens, that was the greatest cheer of our lives."
When the judges are ready to announce the winner, the other teams gather near the trophy table and sit down in powwow circles. As is the custom at cheerleading competitions, the place erupts in a sort of cheer-down, where, one by one, the most spirited teams offer one last look at their stuff.
The Eaglecrest girls sit on the floor, near a row of seats promptly filled by family members. As the cheering goes on, the girls add some volume to the cacophony, then gradually calm down and wait with the rest of the audience.
Hansen-Vigil is standing with her assistant coaches and clutching her infant daughter. Her daughter pops free for a few seconds, and when the judge declares that's he prepared to announce the 5A division winner, Hansen-Vigil tugs her daughter back into her arms and lets out an "Oh, God." She looks over at her girls and smiles.
"In second place," the judge's voice booms around the stadium, "Eaglecrest."
There's silence. The girls are stunned -- the judge said it so quickly.
Then they react. They clap, cheer. One of them stands up and goes to retrieve the trophy.
Hansen-Vigil holds her daughter and gives her assistants a "How about that?" look.
When the trophy gets back to the circle and the girls wait to hear who beat them, they pass the piece of wood around and kiss it, one by one, as is the Eaglecrest tradition.
Hansen-Vigil goes to the floor to meet her girls, some of who are starting to tear up. The knee braces and strips of ankle tape have already been torn off and tossed into their gear bags. The perspiration has already dried. The countless hours of practice are far from their minds. Hansen-Vigil has to remind them that sportsmanship dictates that they go over and congratulate the girls from Fruita Monument.
"Remember how you felt when you came off the mat?" their coach asks. "You did a great job. You couldn't have done better. You should be proud of yourselves."

I am aware that bauhinias variegata and purpurea produce fragrant flowers, but what about the smaller pink bauhinia monandra? I love the speckled markings in the lip, like one of the old varieties of Deep South azaleas. I think b. monandra also has a later bloom season than the bigger variegatas and purpureas. I just want to be sure I'm growing a bauhinia that will have a pleasant fragrance.
BTW, if you cull the seedpods right as they're forming, will it make a bauhinia continue blooming longer? Thanks! Jack |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think I've smelled bauhinia monandra once, and I don't remember any fragrance -- you could try bauhinia acuminata, or lunarioides, a Texas native -- both are small, good growers, and fragrant, but they're both white flowered. Alternatively, plant a purpurata (I was just down in the Miami area and they were all in bloom!) and cut it way back after flowering to keep it small; bauhinias can stand heavy pruning and will branch out more as a result, they're even used as large-scale bonsai. [The nursery down in Florida, banned on GardenWeb, whose initials are TT (sorta like the artist formerly known as Prince) has a couple of articles about bauhinias that are worth checking out) Also, bauhinia corymbosa is a vining bauhinia that's supposed to be fragrant; mine's too small to flower, but I'll report back this summer. I think pinching the seedpods, particularly on a young tree, is a good idea, but I don't know how much it would prolong flowering; most bauhinias seem to be pretty seasonal. Good luck! Jim |
Hi Jim -- Thanks for all the info; I had never heard of the lunarioides variety you mentioned but I will look out for it. Many, many years ago I grew an acuminata which bloomed wonderfully full, white flowers but I can't remember whether it had a fragrance or not. I hope you'll post the results of your b. corymbosa when it blooms; sounds great! Thanks again for the detailed reply, Jack |

Buckinghamshire New University is a public university located in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England, and in Uxbridge. The Vice-Chancellor of the university is Ruth Farwell. The institution dates from 1893 when it was founded as the School of Science and Art, and has since that date been re-invented variously as the Wycombe Technical Institute, the High Wycombe College of Art and Technology, and the Buckinghamshire College of Higher Education. It was a university college from 1999 until 2007 when it announced that its application for university status had been accepted.
The university is a member of the GuildHE.
19th century origins[edit]
Founded in 1893 as the School of Science and Art,[2] it was initially established with public funds raised from a tax on beer and spirits, and set about providing evening classes to residents of High Wycombe and the local area.[3]
20th century[edit]
After World War I, it was renamed the Wycombe Technical Institute, forging close links with local crafts such as furniture making and cabinetry, and helping to provide skills to injured war veterans in order that they might find work in local industries.[3]
Further building took place after World War II, and on 6 May 1963 the new facilities were officially opened by the Minister of Education, Sir Edward Boyle.[3] A new change of name, the High Wycombe College of Art and Technology accompanied this expansion.[3]
Even as late as the 1960s, around 3,000 people worked in the manufacture of furniture in High Wycombe,[4] and 80% of the wooden chairs manufactured in Britain were made there.[5]
In 1975 High Wycombe College of Art and Technology merged with the Newland Park College of Education in Chalfont St Giles, and was renamed the Buckinghamshire College of Higher Education. In the same decade Missenden Abbey, a former Augustinian monastery founded in 1133, was acquired, and in May 1988 it was officially opened as a management centre by Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester.[3]
In March 1999 it was awarded University College status by the Government, changing its name once again to Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College. Around this time the Which University guide described it as a "concrete labyrinth", which was unlikely to be "bringing home architectural awards".[6]
21st century[edit]
In 2007 it changed its name again, this time from "Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College" to its current name of "Buckinghamshire New University" ("Bucks") when its application for university status was approved by the Privy Council.[7]
Alternative names such as "University of Wycombe", "University of High Wycombe", "High Wycombe University", "University of Buckinghamshire" and "Buckinghamshire Chilterns University" were rejected. The chosen name was swiftly attacked by the University of Buckingham for using the county name.[8] Critics have argued that the 'New' element of the university's name will look out of place in the long-term.
Bucks had ambitious plans to consolidate its divided campuses into a purpose-built site near to Hughenden Park in High Wycombe on land previously owned by CompAir.[citation needed] While these plans fell through, the university changed plans to renovate and enlarge the main campus as well as consolidate both the Wellesbourne and Chalfont campuses onto the High Wycombe site.[citation needed] Additionally new halls of residence have been built at the Hughenden Park site.
The university is a lead academic sponsor of Buckinghamshire University Technical College, a new university technical college which is opened in Aylesbury in September 2013.
The University currently consists of two campuses: High Wycombe Campus (previously belonging to the High Wycombe College of Art and Technology), and since 2009 a site in Uxbridge in the London Borough of Hillingdon, which is the base for its nursing students.
The University in 2008 disposed of two existing campuses; the Chalfont Campus (near Little Chalfont) and the Wellesbourne Campus (near Hazlemere).
The university sponsor Wycombe Wanderers F.C. and London Wasps who play at the Adams Park Stadium; this agreement entitles all players of the teams to education from the university if they so wish.[9]
Gateway building[edit]
The University undertook a major development of the High Wycombe Campus with a large structure, known as the Gateway Building, being built onto the front of the existing building. The building itself is based on a study of its contexts and the irregular urban gain of the town centre. It won a RIBA award in 2010.[10]
A state-of-the-art complex, the Gateway offers a rich mix of commercial-standard facilities, including a sports/events hall, fitness centre and performance lab, dance and drama studios, sound design labs, music recording studios and video production suites, a modern integrated learning resources centre and meeting and conference rooms. It also has green screen facilities and a motion capture system.[11]
Halls of residence[edit]
Off-site student accommodation exists in halls of residence which have grown consistently since its University accreditation:
- Brook Street Halls, the first to be built for BNU, consists of 396 rooms, and is situated 5 minutes' walk from the University opposite High Wycombe station and the Eden shopping centre.
- Hughenden Park Student Village was first built throughout 2008 and completed the following year. Student rooms at Hughenden are of en-suite style, and the area is 15 minutes' walk from the University (and main town centre). Since 2010, Bucks New University has invested in expanding the site of the Hughenden Halls, leading to a greater capacity of 402 by 2014.[12]
- Windsor House, one of the newer Halls based on Frogmoor in the town centre. Much of the estate used to build the halls has been bought from The Chilterns Shopping Centre.
- Alexandra House, which (by capacity) are the smallest halls. Situated opposite Wycombe General Hospital on Queen Alexandra Road, the halls offers the most luxurious of accommodation, and lies adjacent (and thus closest to) the main Wycombe campus.
Academic profile[edit]
Several courses run at the university are rarities in British universities.
The Air Transport with Commercial Pilot Training is a course offering students the opportunity to study for a professional pilots licence whilst undertaking university studies in areas such as globalization of the air transport industry and health safety and security for airlines and airports.[13] Many former students (including Virgin Atlantic deputy chief pilot David Brooks) have gone on to attain jobs as pilots in flying schools, charter companies and airlines around the world including Susi Air, Cathay Pacific, Qatar, BMI and Ryanair.[14]
The university offers several other innovative courses such as Airline and Airport Management, Music Management and Film and Television Production, as well as the extensive Furniture Design and Restoration, Textiles and Advertising departments are offered and is one of very few that has created a degree in Policing. It also offers a foundation degree course in bed sales management, in partnership with bed manufacturer Dreams.[15]
In partnership with territorial Police service Thames Valley Police, Bucks New Uni is one of only two UK Universities to offer the Foundation Degree in Policing as a pre-entry route into Police careers. The University also hosts a CKP course, which allows applicants into the majority of UK forces.
The university also offers a course in Animation and Visual Effects, launched in September 2013.[16]
As of 2009 it was the largest provider of nursing training across London.[17]

Win 95. I think I still have a copy laying around here somewhere.
I loved Windows 95….. It ran well on my 486 DX@/66 with 16 MB of RAM….
When I was a kid I thought that if I didn't wait to see that pop up the computer would explode.
I still see that every morning when I turn my computer off. Yes, I have an old-ass computer, but I don't play games or watch YT vids all day. Since I live in a rural area, dial-up is pretty much the only option.
Seems like the only thing I saw as often as this was "Preparing to run Windows 95 for the first time" considering how many times I had to reinstall it.
Turned out to be some bad memory I had and not Win95's fault however.

Jason Derulo has released his video for Wiggle, and just as you would suspect with a video named Wiggle, it has a lot of questionable moments. We've broken them all down and frankly, just aren't sure how to feel about all this Wiggle-ing business.
1. This ice sculpture made to look like a woman's body.
2. This guy drinking water out of the butt of the ice sculpture made to look like a woman's body.
3. Snoop Dogg's grill, which could be an athletic mouth guard, or a piece of Juicy Fruit, or a Fruit Roll Up…
4. This guy who goes streaking through the video.
5. The plausibility of anyone waking up surrounded by this many beautiful women, even if it is Jason Derulo.
6. This woman who was hiding underneath the covers and half naked women.
7. This ensemble made from dollar bills.
8. Trying to make 'ham sandwich' work.
Check out the full questionable video for Jason Derulo's Wiggle below. Wiggle wiggle.

In the Eastern philosophy to which Wisdom Yoga Wellness adheres, "in good health" doesn't merely mean "not sick"; it means that your chakras, or energy flows, are constantly in balance. According to this belief system, one way to achieve this balance is through Thai yoga therapy, which opens the body's chakras for harmonization. The center's certified instructors not only help their students achieve this harmonious state but also encourage them to burn calories during vigorous Vinyasa classes. Unlike libraries with coin-operated atlases, the instructors are generous with their knowledge; they also lead yoga teacher trainings for aspiring instructors and workshops that allow students to explore different yoga styles.
Certified personal trainer Jared Lopez and his team of instructors work to tone muscles and fire up metabolisms for all fitness levels during their boot-camp program that incorporates plyometrics, kickboxing, functional strength training, and calisthenics to get healthy and safe results. The team of experienced trainers also shows modifications for each exercise in fitness sessions at their new indoor and outdoor 7,000 square foot facility. They change up their routines on a daily basis to prevent clients and their muscles from becoming bored. To cultivate a supportive environment, the instructors motivate students without yelling at them and post success stories of clients who have lost inches and weight.
Inspired by the strong sense of family he experienced in dance studios growing up, John Harris opened Sultry Swing Dance Studio to provide his own students with a warm, welcoming place to bond while boogying. With today's Groupon, anyone, from the rhythmically inept to the competitively inclined, can schedule an hour-long private lesson ($75) with John or Mary Jane Harris, 2006's Florida State West Coast Swing Dance Champions. Backed with 19 years of shared instructor experience and vast technical knowledge, they'll provide individualized instruction to show you (and your partner, if your bring one) how to add spice to your salsa or flavor to your foxtrot, all while having fun, zapping calories, and avoiding viaducts.
Christen and Preston Scott were each attracted to yoga for different reasons: Preston was looking to heal after years of aggressive bodybuilding while Christen was seeking peace of mind. They both found what they were looking for during their first Baptiste Power Vinyasa class, and have been sharing their passion with others ever since. Their studio, The Power Yoga Tribe, introduces students to Baptiste brand of yoga through classes tailored to all skill levels, with each session emphasizing attention to breath and a detailed progression of poses.
Students at Sports Yoga M2 learn to bend and stretch under the watchful eye of Mark Maldonado, a yogi with more than a decade of experience. Maldonado's small class sizes ensure that he and his fellow instructors can pay close attention to students' form as they progress at their own pace.
Within the mind-soothing confines of the spa's signature flotation tanks, Floatopia's guests bob in pure, clear water that's super saturated by cleansing epsom salts. Over the course of each session, troubles fall away as sights and sounds melt into the darkness, and muscles relax in the near-weightless environment. To extend the benefits of flotation session, Flotopia also offers massage therapy and yoga classes, as well as cold-compressed juices that extract nutrients from fruits and veggies without denaturing them.

Looking for a smallish hydrangea non-mophead for foundation planting that gets 5-6 hours of sun. Pro's and con's of those 2? I know they are different species. paniculata probably better for the winter interest, but that's not that important to me.. Mostly looking for the most color the longest time. Which can deal better with that amount of sun? I had a small Invicible Spirit in a haevy shade for 1 1/2 years at my last house, but I moved before it got to hit its stride, so I'm not very familiar with it. Love QuickFire but too big for this spot. |

reviews & comments (4)
The wine vinegar made for a beautiful deep brown color on the bird. However, the taste was only ok and the gravy was a lot of bother for not an impressive flavor.
This was great -- I'll repeat this year. I used a mixture of cooking sherry and white wine vinegar since I can't find "sherry wine vinegar".
Fabulous describes the Turkey & Currant Pecan Stuffing. Everyone loved it. Increased measurements to accomodate 23 lb bird. Added 1 cup chicken broth to stuffing in lieu of 1 cup water plus a little extra sherry to gravy. Superb.

What about crabs?
Bier Jagdwaffe... Bier 30 zeit.....~~=o&o>..........
The crabs will be fully sanitized
It really dries out my hands. No other side affects yet.
I typically have dry skin in the winter-time. Star San is always rough on my skin. Combine dry weather with Star San, and right now my right hand has open sores. I guess everyone is different, but I plan on going to a more gentler option when I'm thru with this bottle.
The good type of crabs, the season is about to begin in San Francisco, that means i'll get stuck with 10-20 to boil and clean. A PITA after a while but heck the're free off my friends boat. Corn Huskers lotion a heavy duty hand treatment sure works great the past 30 years working outside in the winter. Also great after automotive parts cleaning or the use of strong cleaners that remove your natural hand oils. No more split skin at the base of the fingernails, you know the ones that hurt for days.
I used gloves first time I used it, but I've using it sans gloves since. I do typically rinse off a little when I'm done, just to be safe.
I spilled some undiluted on my hands once, it was not a pleasant burning sensation, but didn't burn the skin, after it was rinsed off, I continued brewing.
Ive gotten some of the diluted star san in my mouth. I'm still alive and beer still tastes as good as ever.
You don't want to a star san foam hat on his head and his, well, um, head?

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email email@example.com.
Hi, first of all I would like to express my feelings towards Magneto *cuddle*. It feels so good to have a eCommerce software like this. I´m in love! Anyways, I was wondering how hard it is to use Magneto with a CMS like Expression Engine. I would love to use Expression Engine for everything not involved directly in eCommerce. However how can I manage to have the same user base with both installations, etc.?
Thanks, Max
Hi Max,
I've not got an answer to your question specifically, but we (http://www.nublue.co.uk) are in the Expression Engine pro network and use it exclusively as our CMS for client projects. One client in particular would like to add eCommerce functionality to their website and we intend to tie Magento into the existing site (sharing the members database) to achieve this.
I would be happy to let you know how (if ) we achieve this once it has been completed.
Cheers Michael
you should probably ping the varien team for advice on the integration. I believe this site is powered by expression engine and they have magento integrated.
Hi Michael,
Just wondering if you have anything to report about integrating EE with Magento (or vice versa.)
I too am looking to use an existing user base (not EE though) in a Magento installation. I think this type of feature is going to be pretty popular and it would be a good module to develop, if someone hasn't already. I anxiously await news on this and will continue digging as well…
I would like to add, the site claims that I should use Magento because: "Integrating third-party solutions should never be a hassle. Magentoâs easy integration will help save you time and resources as you create a customized store around your business needs."
But I have searched all day and I haven't been able to find documentation on how to integrate Magento with anything else or where to begin on developing an integration module. Can anyone point me to where to begin?
Much appreciated, Rich
would love to see an update on this as well if anyone has one. trying to architect a solution and seeing if a combo of magento/expression engine is the way to go, or a custom solution.
mainly looking to integrate the user logins.
Does anyone have an update on this?
it looks like this is on the way in a few weeks.
OMG.... thanks.... im so excited to see this.... my two favorite things combining into one.... its a good day… .
Tanks.i founf the information.than is right.
Love is like a butterfly. It goes where it pleases and it pleases where it goes.
Tyler Jensen - 17 May 2009 01:32 PMDoes anyone have an update on this?
The updates ready and will be released soon. I hope it would be far more better than this with some advanced features.

Stick to what you know or land-grab the future? (Microsoft and Yahoo)
If Microsoft avoids the future and sticks with business applications what happens next?
This weekend's NY Times article "Maybe Microsoft Should Stalk Different Prey" raises the point that perhaps Microsoft should reconsider the Yahoo acquisition to focus on what it knows, which is enterprise software.
New CNET Editor-in-Chief Dan Farber raises a different point in a post today--that there is still time for an internet land-grab and Microsoft should take this opportunity to nab Yahoo before it's too late.
Overall, I don't see the Yahoo acquisition paying immediate dividends. In fact, it's hard to see when it would pay off. Microsoft doesn't have the machine in place that would allow for a smooth transition with quick gains. There are a few companies, Oracle and Cisco, notably who are fantastic at acquisitions, but Microsoft hasn't yet built an effective acquisition engine.
There is another argument that says that internet is really not Microsoft's ball of wax, and instead the company should try to acquire SAP in more of an Oracle-style of leveraging assets across the same customer base. Unfortunately, that argument doesn't fly as it seems that Microsoft has finally realized there is a very real danger of losing the corporate desktop as it moves online.

Consumer companies have long recognized the potential of emerging economies, which is why they have been gradually shifting to these high-growth markets to reap the attached benefits. In recent years, developed economies have been suffering from a debt crisis, and have been struggling to grow. On the one hand, emerging markets have been growing at a faster pace. Almost 80% of the global population makes up emerging markets. By 2020, the global population is expected to grow to 7.5 billion, out of which 6.2 billion will be in developing countries. During the same period, the middle class is expected to grow by 1.4 billion, out of which 98% will be in developing markets. Since per capita spending is expected to grow, this provides a solid ground for companies to tap the growing market share. We have identified the following three staple companies, based on their growing exposure to emerging markets and high dividend yields.
Procter & Gamble Co. (NYSE:PG)
The company reported revenue of ~$84 billion in fiscal year 2012, up 3% Year over Year. Its growth in developed markets has been slow due to weak growth in consumer spending over the years. Emerging markets contribute 38% to the company's total revenues, which have grown at an average of 14% in the last decade. Going forward, the company plans to target 10 developing markets, which offer the highest potential for growth. BRIC markets, which have grown at 20% per annum on average in last decade, are also part of these 10 markets.
Countries | Compounded Annual Growth in Last Decade |
Brazil | 23% |
Russia | 25% |
India | 27% |
China | 17% |
Source: pg.com
It reported core EPS of $3.85 for fiscal year 2012. Currently, the company offers a dividend yield of 3.3%. It has been sharing the success with its shareholders, and has paid dividends for the 122nd consecutive year. In the last 10 years, the company paid $42 billion in dividends, and bought back $46 billion worth of its stock. In fiscal year 2012, the company had operating cash flows of $13.3 billion, up from $15 billion in 2008. Long-term debt maturities for the company amount to $4b, $3b and $4b for 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The company is expected to maintain its dividend in the future, as is evident from its dividend history and strong cash flows.
Philip Morris International, Inc. (NYSE:PM)
Philip Morris sells cigarettes in over 180 countries, and has been increasing its market share. Revenue increased by 3% YoY in 2Q2012 on a constant currency basis. Asia, Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa (EEMA) contribute more than 60% to total revenues. EEMA cigarette shipments volume was up 5.1% YoY in the second quarter. The company reported adjusted EPS of $4.88 for fiscal year 2011, and the figure is expected to grow by ~11% per annum in the near future. Philip Morris currently offers a dividend yield of 3.8%. Over the years, it has been increasing the dividend paid to its shareholders; 0.46 cents in 2008 to 0.77 cents in 2012. The trend is expected to continue given the company's solid performance. Although the company has been generating cash, its aggressive dividend payout policy and share repurchase program exceed free cash flows. Since 2008, the company has repurchased $24.4 billion worth of shares, and recently announced a plan to repurchase $18 billion worth of stock. The share repurchase program will further increase the company's debt level; however, it has a strong interest coverage ratio of over 14x. It is expected to generate free cash flows of $11 billion in 2013.
Source: Bloomberg and Qineqt s calculations.
Avon Products Inc. (NYSE:AVP)
Avon reported total revenue of $2.6 billion in the second quarter of 2012, down 1% YoY on a constant currency basis. A large chunk of the company's total revenue comes from emerging markets, which has been constantly increasing. Latin America constituted around 45% of total revenue in fiscal year 2011, compared with 40% in 2009. The developing Asian markets are expected to grow at 7.9%, while Russia and Latin America are expected to grow at 4.1% in 2013; this provides a great opportunity for the company to tap growth opportunities.
% of Revenue 2011 | % of Revenue 2009 | Operating Profit Margin 2011 by regions | |
Latin America | 45.% | 40% | 12.3% |
North America | 18.5% | 22.5% | -8.7% |
Central and Eastern Europe | 14% | 15% | 18.5% |
Western Europe, Middle East and Africa | 14% | 12.5 | 11% |
Asia Pacific | 8.5% | 10% | 8.5% |
Source: investor.avoncompany.com
Avon offers an attractive dividend yield of 5.6% in the current low-yield environment. Over the last five years, dividends for Avon have increased from 0.185 cents to 0.23 cents per share. It has an operating cash flow yield of 8.4% and a free cash flow yield of 10%. It has debt-to-equity of 250%, which is on the higher end compared with its industry average. However, it has healthy interest coverage of 15x, which indicates that the company comfortably covers its interest charges.

two options fill with wood filler, and do some graining to make it match; or remove the veneer, and replace with a new piece. |
thanks! I've also heard of some stuff called grain filler. Would the wood filler be better? |
grain filler would be used to fill the pores in the wood (i,e. Mahogany), which would give you a smooth glass finish. |

Re: Big Freakin' Sails
i had an experience with a microburst on lake superior several years ago. when it hit upwind from us i could see the tops blown off the waves. i had the full main & genny up. i headed down wind as my son & grandson struggled to get the genny down . i was too busy on the tiller to look at the wind & boat speed, but the water was boiling past the boat, & the boat was tipping side to side. after they got the genny down i started the engine & turned around & we lowered the main. that is faster than my boat has ever gone. i was a young 85 at the time

Historical region and province of Prussia. The earliest Germanic inhabitants were replaced by Slavic Wends, who in turn were overcome in the 12th century by Albert the Bear, margrave of Brandenburg. It became one of the seven electorates of the Holy Roman Empire in 1356. Under the elector Frederick William (1640–88), Brandenburg-Prussia grew to be a leading power. It became a province of Prussia in 1815 and remained such after the unification of Germany (1871) and until the end of World War II. After the war, the eastern portion became part of Poland and the western portion part of East Germany. After Germany's reunification in 1990, the western part became a German state. Brandenburg city, or Brandenburg an der Havel (pop., 2002 est.: 76,400), was formerly the residence of Prussia's reigning family.

I added sleeves to this princess seam sheath dress. Sort of going for the Mad Men Joanie dress. The colour is off in the photo – it's more of a teal green. And wow, I had to cut this dress way down! It turned out pretty good fit-wise. The arm holes are a bit weird at the back – I didn't do a great job of shortening the bodice to accommodate my short waisted torso. Still, it turned out great and was a very easy pattern to sew. Will definitely make this again. Can't wait to wear this to work!
Double knit stretch jersey. I eliminated the zipper and back split because of the stretch.

this is lovely! is the top cut on the bias, as it seems to have a bit of a cowl? if not, how did you get that effect?
Apr 1, 2012, 03.17 PMby fabgoddess
Thanks!! I didn't resize the front panel enough so it's actually just too big! Because it's a double knit I just tucked the middle in put a little stay stitch to hold it to create a little drapy effect. Love happy mistakes!

Actress Bipasha Basu Tuesday expressed support for Pinkathon, a run for breast cancer awareness, terming it an important platform that encourages women.
More than 31,000 people and a host of celebrities from the field of sports and entertainment thronged Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium Sunday morning to participate in the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon.
Actress Gul Panag, who is the face of the adventure campaign Kingfisher Blue Mile, said it's a general convention that adventurous people are mad.
Maximus Events and United Sisters Foundation - led by super model and fitness enthusiast Milind Soman and Former Miss India Gul Panag announced the launch of the 2nd Edition of Pinkathon Delhi, 2014.
Pinkathon is the biggest multi-city women's running event to encourage and promote fitness & health among women and create awareness for Breast Cancer. Giving out the message of "Each One Kheench One"; Pinkathon urges all men to encourage at least one special woman in their life to participate.
Telangana Rashtriya Samiti (TRS) chief K Chandrashekhar Rao was, on Monday, sworn-in as the first Chief Minister of Telangana, which also became the 29th state of India.
Gul Panag`s defeat as an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate from Chandigarh in the Lok Sabha election, hasn`t dampened her spirits.
The film fraternity had mixed luck at the hustings with BJP nominees Hema Malini, Kirron Kher and Paresh Rawal, Trinamool`s Monmoon Sen and Independent candidate Innocent making their Lok Sabha debut while some like Raj Babbar, Nagma, Gul Panag and Jaya Prada bit the dust.
AAP leader Gul Panag and MTV VJ Raghu of Roadies fame were on Friday allegedly manhandled inside the Banaras Hindu University campus here after a scuffle broke out between Aam Aadmi Party supporters and a group of students allegedly belonging to BJP`s student wing ABVP.
Barring stray incidents, polling remained peaceful in 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana which witnessed healthy voter turnout of over 73 percent on Thursday and Union Territory Chandigarh created a record of highest ever poll percentage of nearly 72 percent.
In a way to boost the party`s winning prospects in the upcoming 2014 General Elections, Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal`s roadshow has begun here on Sunday.
BJP complaint of anomalies in the nomination filed by Congress candidate from Chandigarh Pawan Kumar Bansal, but the Returning Officer (RO) over-ruled the charges and accepted the papers as correct.
BJP candidate Kirron Kher and Gul Panag from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Friday filed their nominations for the Chandigarh Lok Sabha seat.
Gul Panag, the AAP`s Lok Sabha candidate in Chandigarh, stayed away from Holi celebration Monday to promote water conservation.
Soon after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) declared the 58-year-old famous actor Kirron Kher as its Lok Sabha poll candidate from Chandigarh, Kher said contesting for the party and for its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi will be a privilege for her.
Former Miss India and actor Gul Panag joined Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and will be its candidate for Lok Sabha polls from Chandigarh, a place where she was born and describes as her "family`s home".
The One Billion Rising campaign (OBR), which will see over a billion people rising to protest against violence against women, started here Thursday with Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan and former Miss India Gul Panag lending their support to the campaign.
Gul Panag`s love for adventure and passion for travelling makes her plan each of her trips differently. The former beauty queen has recently returned from a challenging expedition, and she says it was "incredible".
Gul Panag has launched an anti-tobacco campaign - No more tobacco in 21st Century - and urged youth to wholeheartedly participate in the cause to make it a success.
Gul Panag, mostly seen in off-beat films, feels that the scripts of Hindi movies lack story and structure.

Bruce Springsteen is in town and although I really only care for his first few albums and only listen to him when listening to the radio but they just played "Jungleland" and I have to say that is one of my favorite sax solos. Not complex, just something very special about it. I love saxophone solos. Anyone have their favorites? Some others I may enjoy? Pink Floyd has some good ones too. Odd thing is I am not a fan of Jazz. NRBQ has a great short sax solo on one of their songs but I am not sure of the name. "Breathless" maybe? If anyone knows the song is that a baritone sax? I love the way it goes all the way from very low notes to the very highest.
I was just going to post a link to "Baker Street", but this site is much more comprehensive.
Clarence Clemens is a very cool dude, but sometimes his style just doesn't do it for me. I'm not into jazz at all either, but I sure like a good sax solo too. I like the sax solo on Foreigner's "Urgent". Simple, but nice.
One of my favorites is in Buddy Rich's "Channel One Suite"
This led me to YoUTube where of course some Kenny G was brought up. is that guy serious!! His videos would serve as a parody of himself on SNL!
As a dedicated Coltrane fan, I declare A Love Supreme trumps all.
I wouldn't say there's a particular solo that stands out, but if you like sax but don't like straight-up jazz you should check out Morphine.
What, no love for George Michael?
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

Comments about NARS Duo Eyeshadow Compact, Mediteranee, 1 ea:
The colors in Mediteranee look garish and harsh at first, but you can control the amount of color that you want. The feel of the shadow is very nice and light. The look is bright and definitely not for the timid, but the colors don't look weird on. Both colors are shimmery. The gold can be worn everyday, while the tangerine can be worn at night for going out or when you just want to add more color. The tangerine can also be used as a blush when applied with a light hand.

CSS Library Horizontal CSS Menus
Welcome to Dynamic Drive's new CSS library! Here you'll find original, practical CSS codes and examples such as CSS menus to give your site a visual boast.
Page 1 of 8 pages 1 2 3 > Last »
3D rollover menu
This horizontal menu flips the traditional rollover effect over its head to create a rather unique effect. As the user mouses over a menu item, it rolls up in a 3D fashion like a cube to reveal the bottom side.
Depressible Circle Buttons
These large, circular buttons employ CSS3 shadows to create a 3D, depressible effect, with hovering over a button causing it to depress. Multiple lines of text are supported inside each button, which are all centered vertically.
Responsive Iconic Menu
This sleek horizontal menu bar stays tucked away until the user clicks on an icon, revealing the menu. Using CSS3, various parts of the menu are animated, from the menu unveil to the icon flip when clicked on. Pizzazz aside, at its core this is a menu that's highly responsive to various devices and screen sizes.
Flat flipping menu buttons
These menu buttons combine the two hot trends that are flat design (absence of bevels, gradients and shadows etc) and CSS3 to create a bold and modern looking navigation system. Each icon inside the button can either be an image, or CSS icon font (as in first example below) for leaner and more rapid deployment.
CSS3 Sonar Menu
CSS3 Sonar Menu is a horizontal list menu that highlights each menu link with a pulsating sonar effect.
Flipboard CSS buttons
Flipboard creates a series of CSS buttons that flip horizontally on themselves when the mouse rolls over them, creating an elegant, eye catching effect. It employs CSS3 transform and transitions to do the heavy work.
Rollover Text Menu
This CSS menu creates the popular rollover text effect of text sliding up to reveal a duplicate of itself when the mouse rolls over a menu item.

Beautiful, healthy bouquets of fresh fruit bloom from beneath the green thumbs of FruitFlowers' posy artisans. An extensive, mouthwatering selection includes the Berry Birthday bouquet, which celebrates annual harvests of infant orchards with a sweet amalgam of produce tucked beneath an included "Happy Birthday!" balloon ($50). Trick sweet teeth into nutritious noshes with the Petite Floral Fruit Dipped's lush flora, interspersed with chocolate-dipped strawberries and nestled inside a scarlet pail ($45). Thinking of You bunches corral succulent strawberries and yellow faux flowers inside a beaming mug ($39) to send friends or former dental hygienists well wishes.
Neither Henry nor Carol Huffman, the founders of Cheese Chalet, had any idea that their future careers would be in gourmet dairy products when they first married. Henry was teaching Spanish at the University of Delaware when their local cheese shop closed down in 1976. Though the two began joking about opening their own shop, jokes soon turned to discussion, discussion turned to planning, planning turned to knock-knock jokes, and within a few months, the pair officially opened their first shop. Today, with Henry and Carol still at the helm, their staff of seven seasoned employees prepares fresh deli-style takeout meals and catering trays as they maintain the store's stock of bulk and prepackaged cheeses from around the world.
Baker and sugar artist Chef Dana Herbert has long held a local reputation for his confections—he's known across Delaware as "The Sugar Daddy" and "King of Cakes." He rose to national attention on TLC's Cake Boss: The Next Great Baker, where he took home the top prize and caused viewers everywhere to lick their TV screens with his inventive flavors and striking designs as well. His dual training in culinary and pastry arts also won him an invitation to join the esteemed James Beard Celebrity Chef Tour.
At Desserts by Dana, he channels his creativity into customized wedding cakes, intricate sugar sculpture, pastries, and special event cakes. Each edible conversation piece is sculpted around moist, rich cake—available in more than 20 flavors such as Mexican chocolate, raspberry, and pumpkin—which can be filled with mousse, lemon curd, or other sweet fillings. Equally as imaginative as the flavors is the final product, which might arrive decorated with delicate, eye-catching flowers, bows, or damask designs. Chef Dana can also fashion cakes into the likeness of cartoon characters, cars, or the profile of a funny-looking cousin.
Since his successful run on Cake Boss, Chef Dana has garnered even more attention for his sweet treats (which also include cookies, tarts, and pastries). He's been featured on such networks as NBC and FOX, and lauded within the pages of Huffington Post, Chef Magazine, and Fitness Magazine. He's also made sure to show that there's more to good eating than sugar—when he's not baking, he tours from coast to coast to educate the country on diabetes. During these tours, he helps others learn to create nutritious, flavorful meals and desserts specially tailored for a sugar-free diet.
The flute on the counter at Sprout Vegan Eatery and Juice Bar is full of an elixir so green it almost looks unnatural. However, the juice owes its color to a very natural source—a healthy dose of dragon kale that has been liquefied with apples and dandelion. This is just one of Sprout's freshly pressed juices that are made in small batches from fresh, organic produce and that can wash down an array of GMO- and preservative free sandwiches, salads, and desserts. Customers can also order the popular Irish Moss protein drink, which aims to add minerals to depleted diets with ingredients such as sea moss, chia seeds, and almonds, all packed with the magnesium, iron, and copper needed to finally get the attention of your metal detector.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 A long time later, after God had given Israel rest from all their surrounding enemies, and Joshua was a venerable old man, | 1 After a long time had passed and the LORD had given Israel rest from all their enemies around them, Joshua, by then old and well advanced in years, |
2 Joshua called all Israel together - elders, chiefs, judges, and officers. Then he spoke to them: | 2 summoned all Israel--their elders, leaders, judges and officials--and said to them: "I am old and well advanced in years. |
3 You have seen everything that God has done to these nations because of you. He did it because he's God, your God. He fought for you. | 3 You yourselves have seen everything the LORD your God has done to all these nations for your sake; it was the LORD your God who fought for you. |
4 "Stay alert: I have assigned to you by lot these nations that remain as an inheritance to your tribes - these in addition to the nations I have already cut down - from the Jordan to the Great Sea in the west | 4 Remember how I have allotted as an inheritance for your tribes all the land of the nations that remain--the nations I conquered--between the Jordan and the Great Sea in the west |
5 God, your God, will drive them out of your path until there's nothing left of them and you'll take over their land just as God, your God, promised you. | 5 The LORD your God himself will drive them out of your way. He will push them out before you, and you will take possession of their land, as the LORD your God promised you. |
6 "Now, stay strong and steady. Obediently do everything written in the Book of The Revelation of Moses - don't miss a detail. | 6 "Be very strong; be careful to obey all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, without turning aside to the right or to the left. |
7 Don't get mixed up with the nations that are still around. Don't so much as speak the names of their gods or swear by them. And by all means don't worship or pray to them. | 7 Do not associate with these nations that remain among you; do not invoke the names of their gods or swear by them. You must not serve them or bow down to them. |
8 Hold tight to God, your God, just as you've done up to now. | 8 But you are to hold fast to the LORD your God, as you have until now. |
9 "God has driven out superpower nations before you. And up to now, no one has been able to stand up to you. | 9 "The LORD has driven out before you great and powerful nations; to this day no one has been able to withstand you. |
10 Think of it - one of you, single-handedly, putting a thousand on the run! Because God is God, your God. Because he fights for you, just as he promised you. | 10 One of you routs a thousand, because the LORD your God fights for you, just as he promised. |
11 "Now, vigilantly guard your souls: Love God, your God. | 11 So be very careful to love the LORD your God. |
12 Because if you wander off and start taking up with these remaining nations still among you (intermarry, say, and have other dealings with them), | 12 "But if you turn away and ally yourselves with the survivors of these nations that remain among you and if you intermarry with them and associate with them, |
13 know for certain that God, your God, will not get rid of these nations for you. They'll be nothing but trouble to you - horsewhips on your backs and sand in your eyes - until you're the ones who will be driven out of this good land that God, your God, has given you. | 13 then you may be sure that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations before you. Instead, they will become snares and traps for you, whips on your backs and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land, which the LORD your God has given you. |
14 "As you can see, I'm about to go the way we all end up going. Know this with all your heart, with everything in you, that not one detail has failed of all the good things God, your God, promised you. It has all happened. Nothing's left undone - not so much as a word | 14 "Now I am about to go the way of all the earth. You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the LORD your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled; not one has failed. |
15 "But just as sure as everything good that God, your God, has promised has come true, so also God will bring to pass every bad thing until there's nothing left of you in this good land that God has given you. | 15 But just as every good promise of the LORD your God has come true, so the LORD will bring on you all the evil he has threatened, until he has destroyed you from this good land he has given you. |
16 If you leave the path of the Covenant of God, your God, that he commanded you, go off and serve and worship other gods, God's anger will blaze out against you. In no time at all there'll be nothing left of you, no sign that you've ever been in this good land he gave you." | 16 If you violate the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them, the LORD's anger will burn against you, and you will quickly perish from the good land he has given you." |

Do the people at Riot belive Nidalee is still up to pair with all the new heroes and their changes? I mean, Ezreal is not *that* new, but his mystic shot is an ability very comparable to Nidalees spear throw ability. If I'd want to play Nidalee as an hybrid, i will probably not have enough mana to even throw more than 3 or 4 spears, is this supposed to be? Havn't played Nidalee for a very long time so i might be wrong, im just thinking out loud here...
Riot! I LOVED the Dark Valkyrie Diana! Now she just looks terrible! You can't tell me her signature moon wasn't there, it was on the head armor. The new splash art is HORRIBLE! CHANGE IT BACK!!! People that told me they didn't like the skin was NOT for that reason!!! She was perfect, I can't believe you ruined Diana. Look at Valkyrie Leona...she doesn't have suns all over her in that one. I HATE THE NEW FACE! PLEASE FIX IT
