I LOVE Glow Green!!! I was looking for a green shade to match the color that I taazed myself with and a great MUAer rec'md this shade...best part is I bought it for only 99 cents at my Sally's beauty store....this is truly a vibrant, mostly matte with very fine shimmer, bright grassy-green shade that is WELL pigmented...truly dupes the green e/s in my taazed picture (in profile). I am NC35, golden olive undertones, black hair, dark brown eyes for reference...
The first Sally Girl eyeshadow I ever bought. It's a bright lime green shade with tons of pigment. I love it. It's very delicate though, it can break easily if you drop it even very lightly on the counter. I'm amazed by the price though 99 cents! I now own the purple and aqua shade. I need to get more!

This is a really good shadow for super cheap-- .89 w/Sally's Card. It actually goes on your skin the same as the color in the pan. Seems to saty on really well (I use UDPP, though) and doesnt fade or crease much. I am hoping to find other colors that are as nice, if not as exciting, in the Sally Girl line.
I was so impressed with this eyeshadow! My sally's sells them for 99 cents, and for that price, I'm going to go pick up a backup. The color payoff is great, even without a base. The packaging is pretty basic, nothing special, but they are pretty compact, so it makes them great to carry around. This one especially lasts a long time.
This is a vivid spring green with subtle shimmer. Great pigmentation for less than $2. I wish SG would come out with more colors like this. Most of the rest are boring.
I loooove Sally Girl shadows. This is so bright and pigmented for only 99 cents! I love the packaging for them too, since it makes it easier to find them. However, since I had so many, I decided to depot them and stick them in a CD case pallete which I suppose wasn't really a bright idea because this cracked and got everywhere and for how cheap they are, I figured it wasn't worth trying to save it in anyway. That being said, I'd defff repurchase it. It looks great with Mac's Bitter.
This colour is cheerful and vibrant and I adore it! It applys very well without it looking dingy like some green eyeshadows tend to do. What you see is what you get with this colour, there are no suprises. It applys well and you don't need a lot of it to get it to be very bright. Some of the Sally Girl eye shadows are really crap but this one is one of the best!

Click continued for product pictures.
Color: A bright vibrant grassy lime green with iridescent shimmer through out that applies sheerly or can be applied heavily.
Price: A whole whopping dollar bill.
Texture: Not creamy smooth, but also not dry and/or grainy. A decent average quality texture.
Packaging: A small black rectangle with clear flip top lid that can be hooked to other Sally Girl eyeshadows to create a palette of sorts.
Raves: Gorgeous eyeshadow! Can honestly say that I didn't have anything like this in my stash before purchasing it and you just can't beat finding an amazing shadow for so cheap. In terms of pigment it is excellent in that it can be built up to precisely the vividness one wants. A lot of bright colored shadows like this, I find of one of two problems. Either they are all bark and no bite, by which I mean they look deceptively vivid in the pan but apply so sheer there is really no point OR they apply so bright with even the slightest amount that they are nearly impossible to work with. This is perfectly in between those two spectrums, where it can be sheered out or built up for a really bright look. I like the packaging, especially that they attach to other SG shadows b/c I don't like having teeny little shadow pots buried in my stash that I can never find. Lasting power is very good, with or w/o base.
Rants: Honestly, none that I can see. ♥ this shadow! continued >>

Glow Green is a fantastic bright green with shimmer. I was lucky enough to find the local Sally's while visiting my mom, and unfortunately this was the only fun color they had on their small display.
In the pan, Glow Green appears to be an almost flourescent grass green with silver shimmer, but on the skin over UDPP it takes on a richer grass green hue that can be layerd to give it not only the depth of the grass green, but the rich pigmentation of that glowy green that appears in the pan. It is unlike any other green eyeshadow or pigment that I own, in the best way possible. It blends like a dream, and while you can layer the color, you don't need much for a fantasic result.
I have blond hair, hazel eyes, and NW20ish skin. I used this over UDPP on my outer corners in a cat eye, with Sally Girl's Orange Crush on the inner part, and MAC's Coco to blend them together slightly in the middle and Vanilla pigment over my tear ducts and to highlight. continued >>

Latest News
- Monday, 23 April 2012 | Victoria Tait
In a rare show of unification, four industry bodies released a joint statement voicing strong opposition to a leaked plan to increase a tax on super contributions for high-income earners. The plan would help Treasurer Wayne Swan deliver a budget surplus on 8 May.
The Financial Services Council (FSC), the SMSF Professionals' Association of Australia (SPAA), the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees (AIST) and the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) called on the government to rule out the tax changes.
They said the government's relentless changes to super were eroding confidence in the system and were short-sighted.
"Any savings for the budget through reducing concessions in superannuation would be far outweighed by costs borne in future budgets," FSC chief executive John Brogden said.
ASFA chief executive Pauline Vamos told InvestorDaily the move would leave Australians worse off in retirement.
"For the sake of $1 billion in revenue for the government, which is all ASFA calculates it would raise, they will be undermining one of the best systems in the world and condemning many Australians to retirement without dignity," Vamos said.
She warned the move would deter Australians from saving for retirement and undo 20 years of hard work in getting Australians to do so.
"Any voluntary contributions will just go - and that's across the board," she said.
Swan has honed in on about $30 billion worth of super tax concessions as a means of returning his upcoming budget to surplus. The move would raise the 15 per cent concessionary tax rate on taxable voluntary super contributions.
The government has announced a raft of super reforms, including increasing the superannuation guarantee rate from 9 per cent to 12 per cent over the next eight years.
A spokesman for Swan's office said: "The government doesn't intend to comment on budget speculation except to say we will continue the strong economic management that has seen our economy become one of the strongest in the advanced world."
However, Vamos said the government needed to stop treating the pool of super funds as a honey pot to be dipped into whenever it needed money.
"To proceed with the kinds of tax changes that have been leaked today as under consideration would be bad for women, those close to retirement and self-employed workers who we are trying to encourage to save for their retirement," she said.
Opposition assistant treasury spokeman Mathias Cormann called the measure a tax grab.
"This latest tax grab comes on top of previous tax increases targeting those Australians saving for their retirement, such as Labor's dramatic reduction in concessional contribution caps, down from $50,000 and $100,000 to $25,000, and savage cutbacks to the successful and popular co-contribution scheme," Cormann said.
Under the co-contribution system, the government contributes 50 per cent of employee contributions up to $500 a year, down from a threshold of $1,500 when Labor took power in 2007.
"These additional Labor Party taxes on superannuation are completely counterproductive as they make it harder for people to achieve self-funded retirement and thereby reduce the burden on the public purse," Cormann said.

Drupa Innovation Park 2012 Offers Smart Solutions for Print, Advertising and Online Industry
September 20, 2011"This means that the dip will also be the point of reference and information hub for print buyers and innovative media producers from the print, advertising and online industry at the upcoming drupa," stated Manuel Mataré, Project Director of drupa 2012, print media trade fair.
The drupa innovation park in Hall 7.0 will not only offer new and innovative companies an ideal presentation platform, it will also provide new drupa target groups access to complex topics in the a media production field. The Dynamic Publishing Park for example will be the ideal first contact point for all decision makers from the marketing, advertising and publishing industries and will help visitors to access complex topic areas.
Print Product Innovation Park
Discussing innovative print products, the conversation moves very quickly to the topic of lenticular printing—the only finishing process that allows motion sequences to be displayed on a print product. DPLenticular (www.dplenticular.com), one of the pioneers
and the largest companies in this sector, will again be participating in the dip.
"The drupa innovation park is an excellent opportunity for us to showcase this highly innovative printing technique and to reach new target groups," explained Daniel Pierret, Founder and Director of the Irish company.
Marketing Solutions Park
AlphaPicture (www.alphapicture.com), the specialist for ASP image personalization will open its interface for all web-to-publish systems and marketing management systems - an invaluable advantage for the practical implementation of the image-personalized One-to-One campaign.
"Creation is no longer hindered by technology," said Gerhard Märtterer, sales director at AlphaPicture. The company will not only offer its interfaces via cloud computing, it will also offer portals for direct marketing agencies and digital printers.
"Alphapicture is a good example for the Marketing Solutions Park, where tools for targeted direct marketing, transaction advertisements and white space marketing are showcased," noted Sandra Winter, the dip Coordinator.
Dynamic Publishing Park
Among the exhibitors in the Dymanic Publishing Park will be Konzept-iX (www.konzept-ix.com), the German distributor for the U.S. Nasdaq company Bitstream Inc. (BITS), regarded as the forerunner and pioneer of this sector. This firm stands for innovative publishing technologies and at the dip 2012, it will present its "turnkey" Web-to-print shop solution for the production of printed papers with sophisticated management for variable data and smart online editing. Willmy Mediagroup (www.willmy.de) of Nuremberg is renowned for its web-to-media solutions. Its smart software solution for multichannel publishing, in particular, offers considerable benefits.
Neo7even (www.neo7even.de) is a good example of a drupa innovation park success. Developing within a short period from an IT start-up to a medium-sized enterprise, this company, based in the German town of Siegen, provides smart and innovative solutions for optimizing communications processes in large and medium sized companies. The start-up company Apps4Print (www.apps4print.de) dates back to a co-operation between the established companies Kinetik and Page One and offers solutions for Web-to-print, data delivery, online shopping and image data management on a single online platform. Kinetik is another drupa innovation park success story: since the premiere of dip in 2004, this company has continuously developed from an insiders' tip to a medium-sized company and by now is an established name in the area of dynamic publishing.
Print Automation Park
One of the key topics at drupa 2012 will be automation. Visitors can look forward to the Print Automation Park, which will be implemented in cooperation with CIP4, the umbrella organization for all JDF providers. Here, everything will revolve around process optimization and attaining the greatest levels of efficiency in the printing process with the help of planning and control systems, MIS in cooperation with JDF and server applications. A sector leader will be represented in the park: the Swiss OFS Group (www.ofsgroup.ch).
Additional theme parks:
1. Asset Management Park—Managing and utilizing digital contents and documents with system.
2. Print meets Mobile Park—Applications for mobile devices such as Mobile Tagging, QR Codes and Augmented Reality. Solutions for the future of printing in connection with mobile communication.
3. Digital Imaging Park—Innovations for impressive, digital, visual worlds
4. Printed Electronics / Functional Printing Park—Print is more than publishing – printing as process technology is becoming increasingly important.
5. Green Printing Park—Innovations for sustainable print production.
The nine theme parks will be complemented by presentation stages, meeting points and lounges, encouraging interactive communication not only between visitors and exhibitors but also among the exhibitors themselves.

Need help on better way of doing this query
(sorry for the bad title, couldnt come up with a good one )
i have 3 tables:
Code:tbl1 ------- id userid info ------- user ------- id groupid ------- group ------- id -------
I currently do this using a loop, but im sure it could be done better.
Anyone has any idea on this?
the loop is somthing like
Code:SELECT `id` FROM `user` WHERE `groupid` = '5'; // LOOP SELECT `info` FROM `tbl1` WHERE `userid` = 'resultfromthequeryeabove'; // END LOOP

Why is this three tables? It would make more sense to use a single table for all of this data, with the following fields:
id, userid, info, groupid
It seems to me that the first two tables will always have exactly one row for each user. The third table just makes me ask, "why?" Unless it has fields you didn't list, it doesn't seem to have any use.
In any event, try the following query:
This should give you what you're looking for. If you want to get them for a single group, replace the last line withCode:SELECT tbl1.userid, tbl1.info, user.groupid FROM user LEFT JOIN tbl1 ON user.id=tbl1.userid ORDER BY user.groupid
Code:WHERE user.groupid=groupnum

Menorrhagia is the most common cause of anemia (reduction in red blood cells) in premenopausal women. A blood loss of more than 80mL (around three tablespoons) per menstrual cycle can eventually lead to anemia. Most cases of anemia are mild. Nevertheless, even mild anemia can reduce oxygen transport in the blood, causing fatigue and a diminished physical capacity. Moderate-to-severe anemia can cause shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, lightheadedness, headaches, ringing in...

Couple new radio segments
Check the audio player on the right sidebar for the most recent editions of "The Writer's Block," the radio show I'm doing for a few days while Schroeder is on vacation. Yesterday's topic was baseball (lots of Bonds and Griffey) and today was dominated by the NFL's Spygate deal and if it might be possible for something similar in college. That bit included a conversation with Jay from Duck Sports News.

The U.K.'s largest airlines, including British Airways Plc (IAG) and Virgin Atlantic Airways Ltd., said they're concerned about potential delays at London airports during the 2012 Olympic Games
"The industry believes that there is a significant risk of severe delay and disruption at all of London's major airports unless urgent action is taken," airlines including British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, British Midland International and EasyJet Plc (EZJ) said in a letter dated March 15 to U.K. Transport Secretary Justine Greening and other officials.
"Failure to respond leaves the U.K. vulnerable to the type of major disruption that will cause significant reputational damage and would be foolhardy and reckless," the letter said.
The London Olympics will attract more than 320,000 foreign visitors, national tourism agency VisitBritain has said, citing a study conducted by Oxford Economics. Brussels, Amsterdam and Paris are also seeing an increase in travel during the Olympics period, Madrid-based Amadeus and Barcelona-based Forward Data said in a report this month.

Views 6542
Originating Calendar European Union Center Events
This lively and engaging romantic comedy-drama, whose ensemble structure is reminiscent of THE BIG
CHILL and THE LAST KISS, was a big box-office hit in Italy, where the esame di maturit (high-school
matriculation exam) is a major rite-of-passage. A group of six former school friends (including a chef, a
priest, a real estate agent, a radio host, and a recovering sex addict) are thrown together again twenty years
later when they receive word that their exam results have been annulled by a technicality and they have
to take it over again! When they buckle down to study together, they discover that their post-school lives
hardly deserve high marks, but this mishap might provide a chance for them to graduate into true maturity.

Pictures or a better description of the type of repairs are vital to getting good advice here, but there is one thing I can tell you without more details: Try to match the species and grain of the repairs as much as possible to the remaining work, especially if it is stained rather than painted. There are many types of stains and varnishes out there to use to match color, but the species and grain are basic. Please let us know more so we can improve our suggestions. |

THURSDAY, Nov. 28, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Flu shot, check. Hand soap, check. Window washer fluid, check.
Staying healthy and safe this holiday season requires adhering to a simple checklist, one expert says.
One way to avoid colds and flu is to wash your hands, said Dr. Sampson Davis, an emergency medicine doctor at St. Michael's Medical Center in Newark, N.J.
"Hand washing goes a tremendous way in preventing the spread of bacteria and viruses that live and thrive in the cold weather," Davis said in a news release. "I have escaped many sick days with a hand wash. It is the number one most important act to prevent contagious illnesses."
For those times when a sink isn't available, carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer, he suggests. "Also, if sick, make sure to sneeze and cough into your arm right by your elbow. This too will help prevent the spread of germs," he said. "And lastly, make sure to visit your physician, employment health center or local pharmacy for your yearly flu shot."
Eating is a big part of the holidays, but you need to keep it under control. Overindulging can lead to weight gain and other health problems. You also need to be careful about your alcohol consumption. One trick is to have a glass of water between drinks, Davis said.
It's important to maintain your exercise routine over the holidays. Gaining a few ounces a day can add up to too many extra pounds by the end of the winter.
If you're planning a car trip, monitor the weather and avoid snow storms. Make sure you gas tank is full, check your tires, and top off all your engine fluids, including the window washer fluid. Be sure to have a fully charged cell phone in case you have an unexpected car problem and need to call for assistance, Davis advised.
You also need to manage your stress.
"The holiday season, job deadlines and daily duties can overload the hard drive," Davis added. "Shop early, plan ahead and manage your calendar as well as your friends and family expectations. You may not be able to attend every holiday party and that is okay."
During the winter, some people suffer a mood problem called seasonal affective disorder (SAD). If you believe you have the condition, see your doctor. There are effective treatments available, Davis added.

A one-off series/miniseries could work pretty well as (part of?) a break year. Maybe even put it in the hands of someone other than Moffat as a 'test run' for one of the potential showrunners.
That's an idea with potential.
Imagine a "Worlds of
Doctor Who
" umbrella title for occasional one-off films. You could have Madame Vastra one month. The River Song/Jack Harkness thing that Alex Kingston and John Barrowman both want to do another month. Maybe a Rani and Clyde movie, to catch up on them since
It would be a hard sell to the BBC bosses, though. Money would be hard to come by, probably harder than it was for RTD's specials year (and that, at least, had the advantage of being actual
Doctor Who
). Foreign broadcast partners might not be interested in picking up these specials.
It is an idea with potential, though. But it has, I think, a steeper hill to climb than a series devoted solely to Madame Vastra would.

The Tamil Parties Forum (TPF), the umbrella organisation of Tamil parties other than Tamil National Alliance (TNA), in a letter to External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna has said efforts by India to ensure 'equality and justice' to Sri Lankan Tamils should be carried forward.
The TPF, which recently met Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa, has said that the Tamil political parties had come to an understanding and constituted a common forum to strive for a permanent political solution to the ethnic problem and also to work towards solving the immediate issues faced by the Tamil people.
"In this context, we have initiated discussions with the other concerned political parties, including the TNA, with a view to forging a consensus on the question of a political solution to the national question of Sri Lanka," it said.
The TNA holds the majority of seats in Parliament from the Northern and Eastern provinces in the island nation.
Maintaining that the political solution should be found within the framework of a united Sri Lanka thus enabling the Tamils to participate fully in their 'own governance in the North-East,' the Forum said that the implementation of the 13th amendment in full would be a positive beginning.
On civil administration, it said establishment of a full and complete civil administration without any involvement of the security forces in the Northern and Eastern provinces was the need of the hour.
"We are concerned that the proposal to establish settlements of the members of the security forces and their families numbering many thousands will drastically alter the demographic composition in the Northern and Eastern provinces that had been recognised as the areas of historical habitation in the Indo-Sri Lanka accord of 1987," it said.
The letter said one of the main reasons for the discontent between the communities was the 'state-sponsored colonisation' by successive governments in the past with the motive of altering the demographic composition in the North-East.
On resettlement of the war-displaced, it said that though a majority of them had been sent back to their former places of habitation, they had not been settled with adequate basic facilities.
Separately, the parliamentary group of the TNA said it chose to abstain from voting on the budget for 2011 as it had not made any allocation for the relief, resettlement and rehabilitation, particularly of the displaced Tamil people and the Tamil people in general.
In a statement, it said the government must engage in discussion the elected representatives of the Tamil people on resettlement, rehabilitation and resolution of the national problem.
"However, no meaningful steps have been taken by the government in this regard up till now. In this context, we would like to demonstrate our good faith in participating in the discussions concerning the extremely important issues of resettlement and political solution. Therefore, the TNA decided to abstain from voting against the budget 2011 at the second reading."

Guard held after copper theft
Comment on this storyJohannesburg - An Ekurhuleni metro municipality electricity department security guard has been arrested for copper theft, the metro police said on Sunday.
"We got information that a massive copper cable was being loaded into a truck on Saturday by two men and the security guard was assisting them," said Chief Superintendent Wilfred Kgasago.
The 49-year-old security guard, whose employer was contracted to guard electricity department property, admitted inviting two accomplices to steal the cable, he said.
The thieves stored the cable, which was 55 metres long and worth about R83 000, at the house for safekeeping, said Kgasago.
The guard, the owner of the house and the third accomplice had been charged with theft and would appear in the Tembisa Magistrates' Court on Monday. The driver of the truck was still sought. - Sapa

Know how to use "fewer" and "less"? Find out.
"large box," 1680s, earlier "hurdle, grillwork" (late 14c.), from Latin cratis "wickerwork, lattice, kitchen-rack," or from Dutch krat "basket;" both perhaps from a common PIE root *kert- "to turn, entwine" (see hurdle (n.)).
"to put in a crate," 1871, from crate (n.). Related: Crated; crating.
To arrest and jail: We crate Major and they'll go. But they won't leave him there (1990s+)

Apple Slashes Refund Times
Monday, May 12, 2014
(San Francisco, CA) -- Apple is slashing the time it takes to get a refund for online purchases. People who buy from Apple's online store can now get refunds in less than a week, instead of the ten days it used to take. Apple is making the change in an effort to get more people to buy iPhones and other devices directly from the firm's website, instead of from retailers including Amazon and Best Buy.

Salmon Roasted with Tomatoes and Olives

Although you can use any firm-fleshed fish, such as halibut or cod, salmon is especially pretty with the roasted tomatoes and black olives. Serve with steamed green beans or broccoli florets and boiled new potatoes.

Peruvians unhappy with Lori Berenson's holiday parole (video)
(Read article summary)While Americans may sympathize with the plight of Lori Berenson, who returned to the US today on parole from her 20-year prison sentence in Peru, Peruvians still see her as a terrorist.
Frank Bajak/AP
The Christmas ordeal of Lori Berenson, the paroled American who spent 15 years in jail in Peru on charges that she aided Peruvian rebels, has ended, as she and her 2-year-old son landed in the Newark, N.J., airport for the holidays Tuesday morning.
It is the first time she has been on US soil in 16 years, and many in the US have sympathy for the woman whose image softened while she was behind bars. But in Peru, where many still view her as a terrorist, it is renewing examination of her role in the nation's violent history. Many argue that she shouldn't be given special treatment, and wonder whether she will even return by the deadline of Jan. 11.
Former presidential candidate Lourdes Flores Nano criticized the court decision that allowed Ms. Berenson to travel to the US for the holidays in the first place. Ms. Flores said to RPP Noticias that the treatment given to the American was "surprising and wrong."
Julio Galindo, the anti-terrorist attorney general, told the publication Peru21 that Berenson should not be able to leave the country because "the exit from the country of those convicted of terrorism is prohibited," the paper writes. He also warned that there was no guarantee that she would return.

Police: Debt leads to assault, robbery
BENNINGTON Police said a robbery victim was able to identify his assailant because the victim owed his attacker money for a drug deal.
Friday, Bennington police responded to Bank Street and spoke with a man who said he had been punched in the face and had his cellphone stolen by Ziyaad Madany, 21, of Bennington, according to police.
The victim told police he owed Madany money from a narcotic purchase several years ago. Police charged Madany with assault and robbery. He is currently being held in Rutland jail and is scheduled to appear today in Bennington criminal court.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER — Vermont Health Department says eight children from the Charlotte Central...

Results in the grocery products division were boosted by the Skippy peanut butter acquisition.
This combination of Associated Press file photos shows a can of Spam and a 16.3 ounce jar of Skippy peanut butter.
Anchored by strong showings in its turkey and pork businesses, Hormel Foods Corp. ended its fiscal year by cruising through Wall Street's profit expectations Tuesday.
The company's shares climbed 7 percent, or $2.51, closing at $44.95. Hormel's stock has posted a 47 percent return over the past calendar year, well ahead of food industry peers.
"It's just really had a strong run in 2013," said Ken Perkins, an analyst at Morningstar.
Austin-based Hormel reported earnings of $157.3 million, or 58 cents per share, for the three months ended Oct. 27. That's up from $132.6 million, or 49 cents per share, a year ago. Sales were up 7 percent to $2.3 billion.
Stock analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were anticipating fourth-quarter profits of 54 cents per share on sales of $2.3 billion.
"We are pleased to report a strong finish for fiscal 2013," Hormel CEO Jeffrey Ettinger told analysts in a conference call.
Hormel's refrigerated foods division, its biggest business, saw operating profits increase 30 percent over a year ago on sales growth of 4 percent. The company is benefiting from higher profit margins in pork, and its bacon business is shining particularly brightly.
Hormel's Jennie-O Turkey Store segment posted a 25 percent increase in operating profits over a year ago on dollar sales growth of 7 percent. Sales have been led by turkey breakfast sausages, turkey bacon and ground turkey products.
The firm's grocery products division, which includes Spam and its namesake chili, had a soft quarter. While it posted a 17 percent gain in operating profits over a year ago on a sales increase of 23 percent, that increase includes Skippy peanut butter, which Hormel acquired earlier this year. Excluding Skippy, grocery products sales were up just 1 percent.
While the company handily beat earnings expectations, analysts pointed out that Hormel got help from a $12 million reduction in selling, general and administration expenses, due mostly to a timing issue, not fundamental cost cuts. "They really cut back marketing during the third quarter," said Brian Yarbrough, an analyst at Edward Jones.
Specifically, Jennie-O advertising was below historical norms during the quarter with Hormel planning a new ad campaign for ground turkey in early 2014.
Hormel expects earnings in fiscal 2014 of $2.17 per share to $2.27 per share. That's up from the $1.95 per share it earned in its just-finished fiscal 2013, and in line with analysts' expectations.
"We expect to benefit from lower grain and turkey commodity costs, while higher beef input costs and uncertainty of hog supplies may offset some of those gains headed into the new year," Ettinger said.
The cost of corn, a prime ingredient in hog and turkey feed, recently hit a three-year low. While lower feed costs have yet to significantly work their way to Hormel's bottom line, they are expected to in upcoming quarters.
Despite the positive feed outlook and Hormel's diversification move with the Skippy deal, its stock is "still too pricey," Jonathan Feeney, an analyst at Janney Capital Markets, wrote in a research report Tuesday. Edward Jones' Yarbrough agreed.
"The valuation has gotten ahead of itself," said Yarbrough, who has a "sell" rating on Hormel for that reason. Hormel's stock historically trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 16 to 17, but is currently at 20.

I am thinking that I will set 5 lbs as my mini goal. It's not toooooo much but at the same time significant too. What are your thoughts about this? Is it worth it, is it too much or too little?
Mini-Goals - Establishing a MINI goalView Full Version : Establishing a MINI goal Rhonda Marie 11-19-2012, 06:51 PM I am thinking that I will set 5 lbs as my mini goal. It's not toooooo much but at the same time significant too. What are your thoughts about this? Is it worth it, is it too much or too little? Hungry in NZ 11-19-2012, 07:19 PM I've just started back up again on WW and that's my thought for the first two weeks - 5 lbs. I figure every little bit counts and for me personally thinking about the 50 lbs I want to drop can at times seem too far off in the distance. Kate SE26 11-20-2012, 11:00 AM I think 5 lbs is a start and a good mini goal. Some days I just have minigoals as small as not to snack any junk food for 24hrs and that makes me happy already. Lakilaulea 11-20-2012, 11:16 AM 5lbs. is a perfect mini-goal. I've tried for so long to lose weight, and everytime I've ever thought of how much I needed to lose---45, 65, 75, whatever---after a couple of weeks that number would look so daunting and I'd eventually give up. All I could think about was that high number and if I was only losing 1-2lbs. a week, I'd get so deflated. So I'd give up, regain, and gain more. This time, I have a total of 80+lbs. I need to lose, but I don't think about that number. I only think about 5lbs. I concentrate on the number 5, and because that number seems so low and easy, I'll see it through and make it. Then after I conquer that 5, I shoot for another 5. It's really helped to keep me on track this time around. I don't feel like I can't lose weight anymore. I know I can lose 5lbs. You've got the right idea. 5lbs. is such an easier number to wrap your brain around. Once you reach it, pat yourself on the back, and shoot for another 5! Plus, with that kind of mini-goal, you'll be congratulating yourself and celebrating more often, which will make the weightloss journey so much more enjoyable :D BleuMaus 11-20-2012, 11:35 AM I have a question. When you setting mini goals, do you set a date with them or do you leave it open? Lakilaulea 11-20-2012, 12:24 PM I don't set a hard date for my 5lb. goals, but I do give them a timeframe. I know from these past couple of months I can lose about 7lbs./mo if I try hard enough, so I shoot for 5lbs. every three weeks or so. Right now I'm down 4lbs. this month, so I need to lose at least one more before November is over. I've slacked off the past couple of weeks which threw me behind schedule a bit, but as long as I lose 5lbs. this month I'll be satisfied. vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Capital Research & Management Co. said its voting rights in Dutch phone company Royal KPN NV (KPN) fell on the same day that America Movil SAB (AMXL), Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim's wireless carrier, reported an increased stake.
Capital Research & Management, a U.S. investment manager that advises Capital Group Companies Inc.'s American Funds, reported its voting rights were 6.79 percent on June 21, down from 15.11 percent on Jan. 1. America Movil made a 2.6 billion- euro ($3.3 billion) offer for as much as 27.7 percent in KPN as it seeks to expand in Europe. The offer expires June 27.
"It appears logical that Capital Group funds sold KPN shares to America Movil," Jos Versteeg, an Amsterdam-based analyst at Theodoor Gilissen Bankiers NV, said by telephone. "Capital Research & Management probably also saw that the stock won't have a lot of upside potential in the coming period as Slim usually pursues investments, even if they may hurt dividend payments," said Versteeg, who has a hold recommendation on KPN.
America Movil, based in Mexico City, disclosed a 21 percent stake in KPN, the former phone monopoly in the Netherlands, on June 21, up from 8.7 percent previously. Los Angeles-based Capital Research & Management held 97.15 million voting rights in The Hague-based KPN as of June 21, according to a filing on Dutch financial-markets regulator AFM's website.
KPN shares rose 3.7 percent to 7.5 euros at the close of trading in Amsterdam, making it the biggest gainer on the 25-company benchmark AEX Index and valuing the company at 10.7 billion euros.
KPN said June 20 that it ended talks on a combination of its German business with a competitor, a deal the company had sought to convince shareholders would provide greater value than Slim's offer of 8 euros a share. The Dutch phone company will start the sale of its Belgian mobile-phone division next month.
"We've taken notice of" the filing, Maryse Ducheine, a KPN spokeswoman, said by telephone today, declining to comment further. Robin Turner, a spokesman for Capital Group Cos. in London, and a representative for America Movil declined to comment.

Officials not suggesting new try on car-tab fee
Debate continued Wednesday about why Tuesday's $60 car-tab measure for transportation projects failed, but no one at City Hall was promising to quickly rework the proposal and place it before voters again anytime soon.
Seattle Times staff reporters
Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn on Wednesday rejected suggestions that the resounding defeat of the $60 car-tab measure was a repudiation of his walk-bike-ride transportation priorities.
Instead, he blamed the 60 percent no vote on the City Council for not placing on the ballot his proposal for an $80 car-tab fee. That fee would have been collected indefinitely and could have funded a network of streetcar lines.
"I wanted a bolder transit package to get rail out to the neighborhoods. The City Council chose to fund a lot of smaller projects. It wasn't clear to people what they were getting for their money," McGinn said.
Most council members, though, said McGinn's plan was an extravagance in a struggling economy, and they endorsed an advisory committee's more balanced mix of projects. Looking back after the defeat, several said the 10-year, $204 million transportation measure they unanimously put on Tuesday's ballot might have succeeded had it focused more on the city's estimated $1.8 billion backlog in road maintenance and less on alternative modes.
"To a lot of people, it smelled like bicycles and streetcars, even though that was a tiny portion of the total package," said Councilmember Sally Clark.
The money would have been spent this way: 22 percent for walking and cycling projects; 29 percent for streets and traffic safety; and 49 percent for transit projects, including $18 million on streetcar study and engineering.
Councilmember Jean Godden said she wasn't able to persuade any of her colleagues to devote more money to roads.
"In retrospect, we could have reconstructed the $60 package so it had more maintenance," Godden said.
McGinn on Wednesday mused that perhaps a package with a strong rail proposal plus more money for basic street maintenance might appeal to the public.
As debate continued about why Tuesday's measure failed, council members weren't promising to quickly rework the proposal and place it before voters again anytime soon. Rather, they suggested that the city work with state legislators to find other ways to fund transportation improvements.
Seattle leaders echoed voters' complaints that the car-tab fee was regressive because it charged the owners of a luxury vehicle the same as the owner of an old beater.
"We need to work in Olympia to get better transportation-funding options," said Tom Rasmussen, chairman of the council's transportation committee. One possibility, he said, would be to allow cities to collect an additional motor-vehicle excise tax based on vehicles' value.
The problem is that Olympia faces its own multibillion-dollar funding gap, not to mention the challenge of crafting a statewide transportation tax measure that Gov. Chris Gregoire has requested. Without a statewide tax, nearly every dollar of existing gas tax will be obligated to debt, maintenance and projects already in the works, such as the Highway 520 bridge.
Seattle isn't alone in rejecting a car-tab fee as a way to raise money for transportation projects. The Legislature in 2007 allowed cities to collect vehicle-license fees up to $100. The first $20 did not require voter approval. The additional $80 did. To date, dozens of cities have adopted the $20 car-tab fee, but none of them has won voter approval for more.
Bremerton and Burien voters rejected additional $30 license fees in 2009. Edmonds voters rejected an additional $40 fee in 2010.
"I think the question that resonated with voters was, "Is this a fair tax?" said Councilmember Mike O'Brien, who favored the $80 fee. "It was the best tool we had (to raise money for transportation), but people in Seattle care about fairness."
O'Brien said he'd like to see the mayor and council agree on transportation priorities before going back to voters. "We need to articulate a larger vision about where Seattle could be in five years," he said.
But some outside City Hall wonder if elected officials are still missing the message of Tuesday's vote.
Peter Sherwin, an Eastlake resident and former Monorail activist, said the loss shows Seattle got bad advice from its "citizens transportation advisory committee" that included staff from Downtown Seattle Association, Sierra Club, Transportation Choices Coalition, Vulcan and others he describes as "paid lobbyists." People whose livelihoods depend on cars and trucks weren't represented, he said.
Some of the Proposition 1 spending was foggy, such as $14 million for non-car education projects, incentives or service partnerships.
John Littel, political director of the Northwest Carpenters Union, cast the lone no vote on the advisory committee. His take-away from the election? "Investing in alternative transportation is fine, but don't do it on the backs of people who own cars."

Not a direct answer to your question, this is a copy of an old post of mine.
Best Wishes,
(1) Self-Contained Celestial Navigation with H.O. 208, ( John S. Letcher, Jr. )
(2) Plastic Sextant: Splurge and get a $150 plastic drum sextant but the $40 cheapest vernier scale will work just fine.
(3) IF you are serious about practice...... then spring for a $100-$200 aircraft bubble sextant and you can practice in your front yard or on the roof of your apt building. Artificial horizons work, but are a royal pain and dramatically limit the sights you can take. Air sextant won't work in bubble mode on the boat unless it is dead calm but there are a few models that have 'horizon mode and can be used for land/air/marine. (e.g. Navy Mark V, // note: parts service avil from Celestaire)
Checking for proper calibration and then adjustment for any sextant errors is a very simple and straight forward procedure and so it not like the errors just creep up one you and leave you stranded. On a stable platfom like an aircraft carrier the $1000 sextant will out perform ( by a mile or two ) the plastic sextant, however on the deck of boat under 100' is much more like an even race.
Look for most any book by 'David Burch' who is the founder of the Starpath navigation school. He is a great writer/navigator/teacher. Particuraly "Emergency Navigation" which really is => most of the possible pathfinding techniquies for the prudent mariner.
The wonderful thing about Letcher's book is (a) he is a very good writer, (2) included EVERYTHING needed to navigate in that book. The sight reduction method HO 208 requires a little bit of math but is VERY compact. Most others such as HO 214, 229, 249 do most all the calculations and you just look things up in tables BUT there are expensive and very very big on the book shelf of a small boat. If you have a 70' schooner then 'no worries mate'. The only thing that is out of date in the book is a 25 year nautical almanac (1975-2000) that was good until 2000. It can be reconstructed from information in Bowitch. Such an almanac is limited to Sun and stars but is cheap and easy to obtain. Not bad to have it all in one book. As of July 7th 2006 there are 7 copies on AMAZON for under $20 and right now two copies are $9.99, you need to add, $3.49 media rate shipping, of course.
Plan on finding out ABOUT where you are rather than the GPS mentality of exactly where you are. About means plus or minus 2 to 10 miles. That works well if you do things like aim for a point to the side of your actual destination. If you hit the coast of ??? after a 800nm passage and you don't recognize anything.....where are you and which way do you head to find it. IF you know you should be a 10-15 miles north then you head south and of course prevailing winds and currents play into your inital choice of a landfall so as to have an easy run to the actual destination. As one gains practice and confidence and if conditions are prime for many good sights then it would make sense to narrow the margin and maybe even have the first sight of land be 'IT".
....... and on and on and on ........ best of luck enjoy!

The technicians at Mr. Tire maintain and repair more than three million cars a year, replenishing oil and rotating tires for sustained, smooth vehicle performance. During the oil change and tire rotation, technicians outfit autos with new oil filters and keep engines purring with up to five quarts of conventional oil. Mr. Tire's technicians also inspect tires' air- and peer-pressure levels, then rotate tires before bad influences can convince them to shoplift broken glass. A brake inspection acts as a reflex test for cars, keeping vehicles' reaction times sharp.

CO2 Chart question
I am using The Lamotte 4491 Alkalinity test kit to measure KH in my aquarium. I am using the results to measure the Co2 in the system using the following calculator and a pH probe,
http://www.csd.net/~cgadd/aqua/art_plant_co2chart.htm My problem is that I initially get a reading, and then the color changes as I let the sample sit (as if the Co2 is being gassed off, and my result changes). What I want to know is if I should use the initial reading to determine my Co2, or should I let the sample sit for an hour to measure my Co2? Also, Chuck's webpage describes PO4 concentrations as a problem. I was wondering at what levels do they become a problem. I maintain 2ppm throughout the week. Thanks, Greg |

I would use the initial reading that you are receiving, since letting it sit around, the CO2 might be gassed off (either through the hole where the titrator is placed or elsewhere). It might be okay if it's sitting for a few minutes, but an hour is a bit too long (how long does it take the solution to change color?).
I'm also assuming that when you say changing color, you're referring to the solution going from blue-green to purple, correct? Phosphate concentration at your level isn't something to be alarmed about. It's only really a problem when nutrient concentrations/levels are out of wack and you're dealing with chronic bouts of algae. |

Sanders pushes bill on climate changeJanuary 13,2013
Sanders pushes bill
on climate change
The Associated Press
BURLINGTON Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., said the warmest year on record in the United States and in Vermont has persuaded him its time to get serious about climate change.
Sanders said he will introduce legislation that includes a tax on greenhouse gas emissions from the biggest polluters, more money for energy efficiency, and clean energy research and development.
He said the measure also would end tax breaks and subsidies for fossil fuels.
Sanders announcement followed word from the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C., that the mean U.S. temperature last year was 55.32 degrees, a full degree warmer than the old record set in 1998.
The mean 2012 temperature in Burlington was 50 degrees, also beating a record set in 1998.MORE IN Vermont NewsPolice: Man robbed Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont House passed a bill Tuesday to ban microbeads, the tiny plastic spheres...
