"You do things when the opportunities come along. I've had periods in my life when I've had a bundle of ideals come along, and I've had long dry spells. If I get an idea next week, I'll do something. If not, I won't do a damn thing." "Investors should remember that excitement and expenses are their enemies. And if they insist on trying to time their participation in equities, they should try to be fearful when others are greedy and greedy only when others are fearful." "The stock market is a no-called-strike game. You don't have to swing at everything - you can wait for your pitch." - Quotes by Warren Buffett. What do these quotes mean, and why am I starting an article off with them? Well, I don't have a lot of real compelling stock ideas right now. I certainly have my eye on a number of high quality companies that I'd either love to own a part of, or increase my ownership stake in. But I feel that investors are being a bit greedy right now, so I'm consciously choosing to be a bit fearful. While I abstain from timing the market or valuing the entire market, I continue to believe in thoughtfully valuing individual companies through qualitative and quantitative analysis and only purchasing shares when they are trading for prices comfortably below their intrinsic value which confers a margin of safety. And right now I'm finding margins of safety on high quality companies to be few and far between. As many of you know, I'm extremely bullish on equities over the long-term and I've invested monthly excess savings from my day job into dividend growth stocks every single month for three years save for a short period of time last summer when I took a break from blogging and investing. However, this may be one of those rare times I don't purchase stocks during the course of a month. What I've found is that dividend growth investing is wonderful for times like this, when the stock market is valued at all-time highs and us value-oriented investors are left scratching our heads for attractive opportunities in which to put new capital to work. Dividend growth investing can actually be wonderful for inactivity. The joy of doing nothing can be powerful indeed because the wonderful companies that I'm already invested in - companies like Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), The Coca-Cola Company (KO) and Philip Morris International Inc. (PM) - these companies are still sending me dividend payments just the same as they have for decades before. The great thing is that these dividends continue to stockpile in my brokerage account. It's like a wealth snowball being built right in front of me, except I'm not doing any of the work. I'm not rolling any snow or trying to source a carrot nose. The companies are actually increasing my liquidity so that I can take advantage of Mr. Market's eventual mood change. At that time I'll be very ready to be greedy when others are fearful. I still have a couple days to purchase shares in a high quality company before the month ends, but if I don't I'm comforted by the knowledge that I don't have to swing at every pitch. Maybe the pitch that Mr. Market is throwing at me right now is a wide-left ball. Maybe in two weeks I'll have a fastball right down the middle that allows me to get on base. Who knows. What I do know is that I'm slightly empowered right now by inactivity, and I'm realizing the joy in actually doing nothing. As I've said many times on this blog, a dividend growth stock portfolio that's providing solid passive income doesn't build itself, and so for over three years I've been wiring money from my checking account to my brokerage account like a giddy schoolgirl, anticipating buying stocks as soon as the wire transaction cleared. And that strategy has worked very well, allowing me to build a six-figure portfolio during that three year period. But right now I do wonder if being fearful while others are greedy isn't a prudent move to make. As always, I believe cash to be a horrible asset that will only guarantee losses to inflation over time. However, liquidity via excess capital can be a powerful tool indeed if Mr. Market's historically bi-polar personality profile takes a sudden turn from manic to depressive. In conclusion, I am currently finding some solace in doing nothing. I am not seeing many high quality companies that are trading at prices with any significant degree of a margin of safety to their intrinsic value, and so due to such I take great pleasure in continuing to receive my dividends from the wonderful companies I'm invested in. I know that these companies are building me a nice little balance sheet with growing cash. I may not have an elephant gun when the time is right like ol' Warren, but I'll be happy to go hunting with the pea shooter that my investments are providing me. Free bullets, anyone? How about you? Find the joy in doing nothing, while collecting your dividends? Thanks for reading. Stocks Discussed: JNJ, KO, PM,

What a performance!
I bought one of these, and it came with no instructions and I had to find them(the official manual) online. When I did, I followed the instructions for binding the receiver to the transmitter and though I tried several times, it just wouldn't work. So I looked on Youtube and found this :
The instructions in the official manual, and those quoted in this thread, are incomplete! They should be as follows: 1. Install batteries in the transmitter. 2. Plug link lead into batt. socket of receiver. 3. Plug battery into any other socket. NOTE: negative (black) lead towards nearest outside edge of receiver - i.e. right side if holding receiver with label right way up. LED will flash. 4. Hold down the "bind" button of the transmitter and THEN switch the transmitter on. (This wasn't mentioned in the manual) 5. When LED on receiver does not flash any more, the binding is complete. I'm still having problems, though. Flipping the dual rate switch on the throttle (Sw B on top left of unit) actually sends the throttle immediately to the full off position, and the throttle lever no longer works. Push the throttle fully forward and turn "on" Sw B, and I get a 110 degree throw from full forward to full back with no in-between control. With the switch "off" I get about 85 degrees controllable throw on the throttle stick. If you get what I mean. Anybody got any ideas about this? As I'm actually using this in a boat, with the throttle operating the sail servo and the steering operating the rudder, this might not be a problem, but it's a bit annoying. |

McGrath RentCorp Announces Results For Third Quarter 2011
McGrath RentCorp (NASDAQ: MGRC) (the "Company"), a diversified business to business rental company, today announced revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of $105.0 million, an increase of 26%, compared to $83.2 million in the third quarter of 2010. The Company reported net income of $15.4 million, or $0.62 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2011, compared to net income of $9.7 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2010.
Dennis Kakures, President and CEO of McGrath RentCorp, made the following comments regarding these results and future expectations:
"Our Company-wide 16% increase in rental revenues for the quarter from a year ago reflects very favorable business activity and rental revenue increases in both our tank rental and electronics businesses. These very positive results were partly offset by our modular business rental revenues declining by 4% for the same comparative period. This is our sixth consecutive quarter over quarter increase in rental revenues coming out of the Great Recession.
Our tank and box division rental revenues increased 60% to $16.1 million for the quarter, from $10.0 million a year ago. The strong increase in rental revenues was directly related to higher business activity levels and continued expansion of Adler's rental equipment inventory. Income from operations was up 87% from a year ago to $9.5 million, as the business further leveraged existing employee and facility infrastructure, and also benefited from its base of longer term rentals.
Our electronics division rental revenues for the quarter increased by $3.0 million, or 14%, to $24.8 million from a year ago. Income from operations increased by $1.7 million, or 26%, to $8.2 million. In addition to higher rental revenues, our electronics business also benefited from higher gross profit on equipment sales and lower depreciation and laboratory costs as a percentage of rental revenues from a year ago.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

iPhone OS 4: Google branding removed in Safari search
iLounge has pointed out that the "Google" branded search button in mobile Safari has been renamed "Search" in iPhone OS 4. Is this a sign that Apple is about to dump Google from mobile search? Despite their increasing competition, it's highly unlikely that Apple will entirely eliminate Google from mobile Safari search. Google is still the world's number one search engine by a wide margin; eliminating it from Safari's search function would alienate a lot of users.
So what could the "Google"/"Search" switch mean? Most likely it's that iPhone OS 4 will have search engine options in addition to Google and Yahoo! (like Bing), and Apple wants to have a universal button that reads "search" no matter what engine the user chooses to use. Other possibilities could be that Apple and Google have not agreed on a financial arrangements for Google to be the default search in OS 4 yet and they want Google to know that they'll give default search to the highest bidder.
Of course, there's always another possibility: Apple is launching its own search engine. Sounds like a long shot? Maybe it is, then again who would have ever thought Apple would one day be in the mobile advertising market? Personally, I wouldn't hold my breath for Apple search this year. Apple does a lot of things better that Google (and other competitors), but when it comes to search, Google is still king.

text: 1Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742-2425, USA 2Atmospheric Physics Laboratory, Campus Universitario Cota-Cota, Calle 27, Universidad Mayor de San Andres, La Paz, Bolivia 3STG, Inc., 11710 Plaza America Drive, Reston, VA, USA Abstract. Previous studies have presented clear evidence that the Northern Hemisphere total ozone field can be separated into distinct regimes (tropical, midlatitude, polar, and arctic) the boundaries of which are associated with the subtropical and polar upper troposphere fronts, and in the winter, the polar vortex. This paper presents a study of total ozone variability within these regimes, from 1979–2003, using data from the TOMS instruments. The change in ozone within each regime for the period January 1979–May 1991, a period of rapid total ozone change, was studied in detail. Previous studies had observed a zonal linear trend of −3.15% per decade for the latitude band 25°–60° N. When the ozone field is separated by regime, linear trends of −1.4%, 2.3%, and 3.0%, per decade for the tropical, midlatitude, and polar regimes, respectively, are observed. The changes in the relative areas of the regimes were also derived from the ozone data. The relative area of the polar regime decreased by about 20%; the tropical regime increased by about 10% over this period. No significant change was detected for the midlatitude regime. From the trends in the relative area and total ozone it is deduced that 35% of the trend between 25° and 60° N, from January 1979–May 1991 is due to movement of the upper troposphere fronts. The changes in the relative areas can be associated with a change in the mean latitude of the subtropical and polar fronts within the latitude interval 25° to 60° N. Over the period from January 1979 to May 1991, both fronts moved northward by 1.1±0.2 degrees per decade. Over the entire period of the study, 1979–2003, the subtropical front moved northward at a rate of 1.1±0.1 degrees per decade, while the polar front moved by 0.5±0.1 degrees per decade.

Only flaw was the crazy pricing so that even though we are members it was a significant upcharge and it was handled in a less than transparent way .

Oregon Probate RecordsEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
In the territorial era a probate court handled probate matters. A few of the early probate files are now at the Oregon State Archives. Since 1859 the probate judge in each county has had jurisdiction over wills and the disposition of estates. Although some records are in the circuit court, the majority are kept by the clerk of each county court. The Family History Library has many of these records on microfilm.
The Oregon State Archives also has placed some of the records online. Click here to go to their site.

Email-Like Ads Go Live In Gmail Android App 4.6
The latest version of the Android Gmail app, 4.6, has an entire library dedicated to code for ad execution as Artem Russakovskii of Android Police pointed out last week. Now the first signs of ads in the app have popped up.
As with the desktop, Sponsored Promotion ads appear above, but in line with regular emails in the Promotions tab. Here's a first look at the ads in the Android app from Dutch blog Android World:
It's not clear how wide spread the testing is or what regions the ads are appearing. A Google spokesperson wouldn't comment other than to say, "We're always experimenting with new features, but have nothing new to share at this time".
If you've noticed fewer or no instances of the native-style ads in the Promotions tab on desktops recently, you're not alone. However, I'm told nothing has changed on that front.
The Gmail Sponsored Promotion ads are in limited beta. Advertisers can request access through their Google reps.

Could Sheen return for end of 'Two and a Half Men'?
TheWrap.com - CBS's announcement that the next season of "Two and a Half Men" will be its last brought an almost immediate question: Could Charlie Sheen return to say goodbye?
Entertainment chief Nina Tassler didn't make any promises. Sheen causes the network endless headaches in 2010 when he began home rehab after a series of binges, and ripped show creator Chuck Lorre.
