The Daniel Lady Farm
The Daniel Lady Farm, acquired in 1999 for restoration and preservation by the Gettysburg Battlefield Preservation Association, played an important role in the three-day battle of Gettysburg.
On July 1, 1863, Union regiments in front of the house on Hanover Road were viewed as a threat to the left flank of the Army of Northern Virginia. Confederate Lt. Gen. Richard Ewell directed a division under Gen. Edward "Allegheny" Johnson to occupy the farm.
The next day, thousands of Confederates formed up just east of the farmhouse to assault Union positions on Culp's Hill. The troops included the legendary "Stonewall Brigade," now under Brig. Gen. James A. Walker; Jones' brigade; "Maryland" Steuarts' brigade; and Nicholls' Louisiana Brigade. Colonel Snowden Andrews' Artillery Battalion also bivouacked on the farm.
As Confederate wounded struggled, or were carried, back to the farm, they found it converted to a Confederate field hospital -- officers in the house, rank-and-file in the barn. A forensic examination confirmed that the wounded stained the floors of the house with their blood. Impressions of fingertips bring to life where wounded men propped themselves up against the wall, where bloody rags were piled next to the surgeon's table, where a hand swept through a pool of blood, and, in an upstairs room, where a dead Confederate was found by the Lady family when they returned after the battle.
The barn is marked by graffiti from soldiers during the battle and, in at least one case, by a Virginia veteran who returned to the farm in several times during the decades that followed.
Both the house and barn display damage from Union artillery shells that overshot Confederate batteries on nearby Benner's Ridge. Union commander, Gen. George Gordon Meade, saw the Lady Farm Confederates as such a threat that he began planning an assault on the farm on the second day of the engagement, planning that was set aside when Southern forces went on the attack again at Little Round Top, and East Cemetery and Culp's hills.
When the firing was over and the two armies moved south, the rear portion of the Daniel Lady Farm became part of the massive Camp Letterman Field Hospital where, for the first time in the war, wounded and dying from both sides were treated in a consolidated facility.
Tour the historic house and barn
The Daniel Lady house and barn are open for guided tours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. There is a requested donation of $5 for each building to assist ongoing restoration and preservation efforts. Children 16 and under are admitted at no charge.
Numerous special events will be held at the farm. They include living histories and skirmishes of the Civil War, the French and Indian War and World War II. In December, holiday observances come to the forefront, including the annual Holiday House Tour & Tasting sponsored by the Inns of Gettysburg Association.
The last weekend in June, the GBPA holds the LARGEST Civil War artifact and collectibles show in the nation at the Eisenhower Inn Allstar Complex on Business Route 15 (Emmitsburg Road).
The Gettysburg Battlefield Preservation Association, founded in 1959, is the country's oldest Civil War battlefield preservation organization. Over the years, the GBPA acquired a number of privately-owned properties within the "hallowed ground" of the Gettysburg National Military Park, turning them over to the National Park Service. Among early GBPA members were former President Dwight Eisenhower, historian and writer Bruce Catton and entertainer Cliff "Charlie Weaver" Arquette.
The GBPA is a proud sponsor of the Venture Troop 1861, a Boy Scout unit that provides fife and drum music at parades and special events. The troop portrays the musicians that supplied field music for the 1st Regiment, Pennsylvania Reserves Volunteer Corps, also known by its federal designation as the 30th Pennsylvania Volunteers ... a regiment recruited from Adams, York and other counties in the Gettysburg area. Venture Troop 1861 is affiliated with the New Birth of Freedom Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
The GBPA maintains its headquarters and a shop at 33 York Street in downtown Gettysburg. The storefront also houses the Gettysburg Licensed Town Historians, who conduct tours presenting details of the town and the civilians who lived here before, during and after the battle -- including civilian memories of Lincoln's visit.

Halloween FAQ
Halloween FAQ
Halloween and Christmas information
What is your return policy on Made to Order costumes around Halloween?
Unfortunately due to problems in the past with costumes suspiciously returned after Halloween, we now are implementing a restocking fee of 15% on any Custom Costume or Made to Order costume for certain conditions.
The new return policy on Custom Costumes is in effect for any costume ordered between Sept. 15th and October 31st. It is as follows.
Returns are allowed for a FULL REFUND (sizing issues, not what you were expecting, etc.), as long as they are postmarked within 3days of the date that it arrived to you.
If the postmarked date of the return is more than 3 days, then there will be a 15% restocking fee (you will receive a refund for 85% of the price).
We apologize for implementing this new policy, but it was necessary since we started suspecting people were receiving a costume, wearing it to events/parties, and then returning them for a full refund. Again, we are sorry that the actions of a few bad people hurts everyone, so we have tried to make the new return policy still fair to honest people.
How long will my order take to ship?
We work hard to get every order out the door as quickly as possible, however with the increase in order volume around Halloween, the average delay between the date of payment and date of shipment is about one week. If there is currently a shipping delay, we will post it on the frontpage of the website.
Please remember this is an average, and sometimes it can take a little bit longer than what is posted. Also this does NOT include "Made to Order" costumes. These still have a 2 week turnaround to make, plus the holiday delay. We are sorry about this delay, but each of these costumes are made to order.
I need my order by a certain day, how can I guarantee arrival?
We can only guarantee arrival by a certain date during this busy time. The guarantees that we make during this time are listed on the
. If your order arrives after the specified date, you may write "return to sender" on the package when it arrives, and we will issue a complete refund including shipping costs.
If you need your order by an earlier date, and it doesn't arrive in time, our standard return policy applies. This means that if it is delivered prior to the specfifed date (but after you need it), and you want to return your order, you will not get a refund on your shipping costs.
I live in another country, when will my order arrive?
Unfortunately, there are no guarantees for international packages, the standard return policy is always in effect.
Standard international shipping takes 6-10 business days in transit (typically about 2 weeks), plus the holiday delay. Because of this, international orders placed after October 1st run the risk of not arriving by Halloween. We now turn off First Class Mail on October 1st to avoid these issues.
While not guaranteed, Global Express usually takes about 5 business days to arrive, so an order placed even as late as October 14th should arrive without a problem. However, there are no guarantees for international orders.
If I email you, can you ship my order out faster?
Sending emails only slows down the shipping process. We are a small business, and so the more emails we have to answer, the less time we have for packing orders. However, please don't hesitate to email us questions about products, sizes, etc.
The best way to get your order shipped faster is to use Express shipping. Orders are shipped first come-first serve, except for Express orders, which are moved to the top of the queue.
I would like to order a Made to Order costume, will it arrive in time?
It all depends on the number of costume orders that we have received. After October 1st, if you order a Made to Order costume, and we can't get it to you in time, we will email you and alert you ASAP. If you are converned you can use this email link,
How fast do you normally ship?
Around Halloween we are shipping orders every day, Monday through Friday, but please add 1 week to the typical handling time estimate,
full shipping details
Do you accept returns?
Yes, any item that is unused (prosthetics that have been glued on with spirit gum are considered used) may be returned for a full refund. Aradani Studios doesn't charge a restocking fee on returned merchandise (with the exception listed above).
However, we can't offer a refund on shipping costs, as we have spent money to ship the order to you, and can't recover this cost. As a small business, we can't do this and remain in business. I hope that you understand.
Do you accept payment other than Pay Pal?
During this time of year, we do not recommend mailing payment, as that will just delay the processing of your order.
What are the colors that you list under the elf ears and how do I match them to my skin tones?
Here is a basic color chart for the colors.
How do you apply the ears?

Is this idiot for real? I want him to run right out of the senate. Give it up John I don't believe you could win even as a dog catcher. You have become a joke. The more you talk the dumber you sound. GO AWAY.
Make a pledge NOT one dime to the RNC. As far as I'm concerned they have betrayed the people. This guy is a jerk and quite frankly he looks as much as a dweeb as Reid.
Poor little Jay he can't take the questions. This administration has been coddled and been allowed to lie for 5 years. The dishonest media has to save face now. They along with the administration have lost their credibility. For me no matter what the msm does now they certainly can't be trusted. I wonder when good old Jay is going to sit in the corner with his thumb in his mouth and tears rolling down his face.
Well it must be clear for anyone who thinks clearly the botox riddled brain of Pelosi is on full display. Get used to it because this fraud will always be in congress. I have a thought. Why doesn't Mexico take back Ca.? I can see the country being greatly improved. All of the illegals will be legal, which will make the inhabitants of LALALAND very happy. I am sick and tired of all of these people.

L-ACOUSTICS Helps Keep The Rock Church Rockin'
SAN DIEGO, California – June 2008 – Founded in early 2000, San Diego's Rock Church has earned a heavenly reputation for its uplifting, high-energy services and busy concert schedule that consistently draw large audiences week after week. Late last year, the Rock Church and Academy finally opened its own permanent facility in Point Loma, where the large sanctuary is equipped with a combination of L-ACOUSTICS KUDO⢠and dV-DOSC line source array cabinets in a LCR configuration, plus ARCS® cabinets for side-fill coverage.
"The design process went through three distinct phases," recalls Rock Church's former construction manager, Robert Cloyd, "culminating in a horizontal line array that works very well within the new worship center." The L-ACOUSTICS sound system was supplied and installed by Phoenix-based AVDB (Audio Video Design Build) Group.
There were a number of important design criteria for the Rock Church's new facility, Cloyd offers. "The original format supported a pair of large-format video screens located either side of the sanctuary's main stage area. We decided that rather than run a three-cluster system–left, center and right, located around the pair of screens–we would install a single central video screen, and provide line arrays to the left and right, and a center cluster. Eventually, to provide enhanced sight lines, our final design included a pair of horizontal line arrays of KUDO cabinets augmented with dV-DOSC cabinets for a center cluster and ARCS enclosures for side-fill coverage. We needed a versatile, high-power system to handle not only the church services but the wide variety of musical, theatrical and even civic uses that might be required by various users of the new sanctuary." The Rock Church's contemporary, high-energy worship style often places demands on the PA similar to a full-throttle rock-and-roll concert performance.
According to AVDB CEO Scott Oosthuizen, "The left and right arrays are made up of eight KUDO full-range, active three-way enclosures per side, with eight dV-DOSC full-range, two-way enclosures in the center." A side-fill system for stage-left/right plus the above/below-balcony areas consists of eight ARCS active two-way enclosures. A separate delay system features four additional dV-DOSC enclosures "arranged as two pairs to cover the far balcony," Oosthuizen adds.
Uniquely, and to provide dramatically improved sight lines, the L-ACOUSTICS KUDO enclosures are arranged horizontally rather than vertically using KLIFT rigging bumpers. Each quad-amplified KUDO enclosure houses a pair of 12-inch LF and four five-inch MF drivers, in addition to a pair of 1.75-inch DOSC HF compression drivers. "The KUDO cabinets are configured in hi-pass, three-way mode, allowing them to be close-coupled with the six existing custom double-18-inch subwoofers crossed over at 60 Hz," Oosthuizen explains. "Three presets optimize the frequency response according to the value of K-LOUVER settings of 50, 80 or 110 degrees."
Using L-ACOUSTICS' SOUNDVISION real-time, 3D acoustical modeling software, the sanctuary's sound reinforcement system was "designed and installed to prevent standing waves, slap-back echo, and maintain highly predictable audio dispersion to all floor and balcony seats," notes Oosthuizen. "Shaped surfaces designed by Vance Breshears of Sound Technology Consultants were implemented to diffract audio waves at critical acoustical junction points and surfaces. High-density fiberglass battens were installed on the side and back walls of the sanctuary [to help] absorb audio waves before they became an acoustical problem."
"The combination of L-ACOUSTICS KUDO and dV-DOSC systems works perfectly for the Rock Church installation," Cloyd concludes. Now with DPR Inc., the construction manager offers that "the Church is very happy with the results. The horizontal configuration solved the line-of-sight problems and very nicely accommodates the current and future needs of the church."
L-ACOUSTICS is a leading innovator and manufacturer of high-performance loudspeakers, amplifiers and signal processing devices for touring and installed sound markets. Known around the globe for pioneering and championing the modern line array loudspeaker concept with V-DOSC®, the company has received numerous accolades for its KUDOâ¢, KIVAâ¢, ARCS®, XT coaxial loudspeaker systems and SB line of subwoofer enclosures, all powered and processed with the LA4 and LA8 amplified controllers in fulfillment of a "total system approach." L-ACOUSTICS products for the North American market are manufactured and distributed by L-ACOUSTICS US of Oxnard, California.

This is great for Scout units, because you can pick up the book and know you are going to be able to find something within a reasonable driving distance.
Scouting Program Archives: Camping Troop Program Feature
Nowhere is the romance of the BSA more evident than in camp. Whether it's an overnight campout or a week at summer camp, an outdoor setting promises fun and adventure – two of Scouting's great attractions.
A troop that camps out almost every month of the year will have a strong appeal to Scouts. On the other hand, a troop that rarely gets outdoors might have trouble holding the interest of boys.
The big event of the month will be a campout that encourages Scouts to improve their camping skills. The campout might have another emphasis, too – perhaps nature study, astronomy, conservation, fishing, or wilderness survival.
Find the complete plans for the Camping Troop Program Feature on the BSA website.
BSA Methods – The Outdoors
One of the methods for Boy Scouts is "the outdoors". Being outdoors presents Boy Scouts with challenges and adventures. Boys enjoy the independence of getting away from home and taking care of themselves.
Camping Troop Program Feature for Boy Scouts
The Boy Scout Roundtable Planning Guide suggests a Camping troop program feature for Boy Scouts. The focus of this program feature is on outdoor skills.
Hiking Merit Badge for Boy Scouts
Either the Cycling merit badge OR the Hiking merit badge OR the Swimming merit badge is required for the rank of Eagle Scout. Boy Scouts who earn more than one of these badges may count the additional badges as electives.
Cooking Merit Badge for Boy Scouts
Our Boy Scout troop is planning a campout in the spring based on the Cooking merit badge. I am a counselor for this badge, so I am working with the youth campmaster to help him plan the activities.
Camping Merit Badge for Boy Scouts
Our scouts frequently do this badge at summer camp. But they often come home from camp with an incomplete because they haven't complete requirement 9. They often think they have 20 days and nights of camping when they sign up for the badge, but they don't realize that those must all be tent camping and […]
Troop Program Features – Program Planning
The Scoutmaster, Senior Patrol Leader, and Assistant Senior Patrol Leader work together to develop long term plans for a Boy Scout troop. One thing which can help with this is the BSA troop program features.
National Outdoor Badges – Camping
If you have some enthusiastic campers in your troop, they might have completed the requirements already.
Weather Hazards Online Course
Be prepared for unexpected changes in the weather.
Boy Scout Leave No Trace Award
Boy Scouts will complete a couple of the requirements for the Boy Scout Leave No Trace award while working their way toward Eagle Scout.
The Outdoor Code
Every Scout who is spending time outdoors should be familiar with the Outdoor Code. It is especially important for Webelos, Boy Scouts, and Venturers who are out camping regularly.
Troop Program Features for Meetings and Outings
Boy Scout program features let a troop to plan its meetings around a theme.
Planning for Summer Camp
Summer camp is the highlight of the Scout year. It takes a lot of planning beforehand to pull it off smoothly though.

In response to DougIrwin's comment:
Not what i said. Please stop putting words in my mouth.
The concept is the bigger in the box defensive back not if wilson could be used at cb.
Bb has looking for the rover for years. Wilson would have been that. Now it is browner's show with the idea they can keep man coverage in case he needs to bounce outside.
Browner is clearly a better option for this, but he was mot available last year.
I'm not putting words in your mouth at all. You keep thinking of Browneer too much as this rover hybrid position. Brownerr will be used on the outside vs. a WR a lot of the time. The only times I see him moving in on a TE is vs Denver, Detriot, Buffalo and Miami. Besides that I think he's on the outside the rest if the way.
I think if Wilson was 100% BB would have loved to keep him to play the hybrid spot because browner has always been an outside corner on just one side. Obviously BB believes in Harmon or Ryan as a safety or didnt think Wilson was healthy enough to compete for us.
Brownerr didn't make Wilson expendable IMO. If anything it would be Collins and Anderson making Wilson expendable. Wilson's health and Collins is why he isn't here
Wilson was GONE way before Browner was even signed so I dont even think it was possible to make him expendable. ?! oh wait, that was Rusty who said it....never mind.
Adrian's s*cking may him expendable. (in my Tcal voice)

Pros:It works fine. It tells you the minimum and the maximum temperatures since reset, and it is quite cheap.
No hygrometer as said in the description. Otherwise, I have not found any so far.
This was the only indoor and outdoor thermometer at DealExtreme at the moment that I bought. It might not be precise for other purposes than monitoring the weather, but I found it accurate for my needs when comparing to a good mercury thermometer.
I was happily surprise. I gave this away to my father, but I will buy another model for myself.

Shiller CAPE Peaches Smell Like BS
June 14, 2014 at 2:08 pm 29 comments
If something sounds like BS, looks like BS, and smells like BS, there's a good chance you're probably eyeball-deep in BS. In the investment world, I encounter a lot of very intelligent analysis, but at the same time I also continually step into piles of investment BS. One of those piles of BS I repeatedly step into is the CAPE ratio (Cyclically Adjusted Price-to-Earnings) created by Robert Shiller. For those who are not familiar with Shiller, he is a Nobel Prize winner in economics who won the award in 2013 for his work on the "empirical analysis of asset prices." Shiller vaulted into fame in large part due to the timing of his book, Irrational Exuberance, which was published during the 2000 technology market peak. He gained additional street-credibility in the mid-2000s when he spoke about the bubble developing in the real estate markets.
What is the CAPE?
Besides being a scapegoat for every bear that has missed the tripling of stock prices in the last five years, the CAPE effectively is a simple 10-year average of the P/E ratio for the S&P 500 index. The logic is simple, like many theories in finance and economics, there often are inherent mean-reverting principles that are accepted as rules-of-thumb. It follows that if the current 10-year CAPE is above the 134-year CAPE average, then stocks are expensive and you should avoid them. On the other hand, if the current CAPE were below the long-term CAPE average, then stocks are cheap and you should buy. Here is a chart of the Shiller CAPE:
As you can see from the chart above, the current CAPE ratio of 26x is well above the 134-year average of 16x, which according to CAPE disciples makes the stock market very expensive. Or as a recent Business Insider article stated, the Shiller CAPE is "higher than at any point in the 20th century with the exception of the peaks of 1929 and 2000 – you know what happened after those."
Problems Behind the Broken CAPE Tool
There are many problems with Shiller's CAPE analysis, but let's start with the basics by first asking, how useful has this tool actually been over the last, 10, 20, or 30 years? The short answer…not very. For example, if investors followed the implicit recommendation of the CAPE for the periods when Shiller's model showed stocks as expensive (see above chart 1990 – 2014), they would have missed a more than quintupling (+469% ex-dividends) in the S&P 500 index. Over a shorter timeframe (2009 – 2014) the S&P 500 is up +114% ex-dividends (+190% since March 2009).
Even if you purchased at the worst time at the peak of the stock market in 2000 when the CAPE was 44 (S&P 500 – 1553), an investor would still have earned a total return of about +45% from 2000 – 2014, despite the CAPE still being 63% higher (more expensive) than the 134-year CAPE average of 16.
Peaches for $.25 Post-Bubble?
To illustrate a point, let's assume you are a peach lover and due to a bubble in peach demand, prices spiked to an elevated level of $2.60 per pound for 9 years, but in year 10 the price plummeted to $.25 per pound today (see chart below). Assuming the 134-year average for peach prices was $1.60 per pound, would you still want to purchase your beloved peaches for the fire sale price of $.25 per pound? Common sense tells you $.25/lb. is a bargain, but if you asked the same question to Robert Shiller, he would say absolutely "NO"! The 10-year Peach CAPE ratio would be $2.37 ([9 yrs X $2.60] + [1 yr X $.25]) #1, but since the 10-year CAPE is greater than the LT-Average peach price of $1.60 per pound #2, Shiller would say peaches are too expensive, even though you could go to Kroger (KR) and buy a pound of peaches today for $0.25 #3.
This complete neglect of current market prices in the calculation of CAPE makes absolutely no sense, but this same dynamic of ignoring current pricing reality is happening today in the stock market. Effectively what's occurring is the higher P/E ratios experienced over the last 10 years are distorting the Shiller CAPE ratio, thereby masking the true current value of stocks. In other words the current CAPE of 26x vastly exaggerates the pricey-ness of the actual S&P 500 P/E ratio of 16x for 2014 and 14x for 2015.
There are plenty of other holes to poke into CAPE, but the last major component of Shiller's ratio I want to address is interest rates. Even if you disregard my previous negative arguments against Shiller's CAPE, should anyone be surprised that the ratio troughed in the early 1980s of 7x when long-term interest rates peaked. If I could earn 18% on a CD with little risk in 1981, not many people should be dumbfounded that demand for risky stocks was paltry. Today, the reverse environment is in place – interest rates are near record lows. It should therefore come as no surprise, that all else equal, a higher P/E (and CAPE) is deserved when interest rates are this low. Nevertheless, this discussion of P/E and CAPE rarely integrates the critical factor of interest rates.
While I have spent a decent amount of time trashing the CAPE-BS ratio, I want to give my pal Bob Shiller a fair shake. I can do this by looking into a mirror and admitting there are periods when the CAPE ratio can actually work. Although the CAPE is effectively useless during long, multi-year upward and downward trending markets (think bubbles & depressions), the CAPE makes perfect sense in sideway, trendless markets (see chart below).
The investing public is always looking for a Holy Grail financial indicator that will magically guide them to riches in both up and down markets. Despite the popularity of Shiller's CAPE ratio, regrettably no one perfect indicator exists. So before you jump on the bandwagon and chase the hot indicator du jour, make sure to look down and make sure you haven't stepped in any Shiller CAPE-BS.

Sorry but that peach analogy is completely wrong (and I'm not a CAPE believer). But the CAPE ratio does reflect current market prices, and after plummeting in price the "peach CAPE" would absolutely scream buy. The CAPE only looks at today'\s market price relative to ten year's of earnings data. I guess if you want to stick with peaches (and you shouldn't) it would compare today's price of peaches with the number of peaches you're buying, which would always be one. So CAPE would go down in parallel with price.
Brian is absolutely correct. Wade misunderstands how CAPE is calculated.
That said, Wade does make some good points about interest rates. The lack of yield in fixed income assets today does get to a big problem for anyone saying to get out of stocks. What are they saying is a good investment instead? Long-term bond yields are below long-term averages. Are they saying to keep money in cash and short-term fixed income securities – which offers a negative real return today – and then buy after the stock market has declined in value? That's a dangerous strategy.
It's also worth asking – what's the appropriate period to look at the CAPE average? Is the 19th century valuation of financial assets that relevant to today? Is it really appropriate to include earnings during the Great Depression, or valuations during two World Wars?
Good points. The CAPE would have much more value if it took out the extreme peaks and valleys, which distort the usefulness of the CAPE ratio.
Like the peaches, here's another example of an index staying the same for 9 yrs then dropping in year 10. The distorted earnings number in years 2 through 5 distorts the current 10-year CAPE. Despite price going down in year 10 (1000 –>800…down -20%) and earnings going up modestly (99–>100), the artificially high CAPE (13.3x) makes index seem more expensive than reality (8x current PE).
Yr 1 Price (1,000); Yr 2 P (1,000); Yr 3 P (1,000);Yr 4 P (1,000);Yr 5 P (1,000);Yr 6 P (1,000);Yr 7 P (1,000);Yr 8 P (1,000); Yr 9 P (1,000); Yr 10 P (800)
Yr 1 Earnings (100); Yr 2 E (1); Yr 3 E (1); Yr 4 E (1); Yr 5 E (1);Yr 6 E (99); Yr 7 E (99); Yr 8 E (99);Yr 9 E (99); Yr 10 E (100);
10-Year Avg Earnings = 600/10 = 60
Yr 1 P/E (10); Yr 2 P/E (1000); Yr 3 P/E (1000); Yr 4 P/E (1000); Yr 5 P/E (1000); Yr 6 P/E (10); Yr 7 P/E (10); Yr 8 P/E (10); Yr 9 P/E (~10); Yr 10 P/E (8);
10-Year CAPE = 13.3x (800/60) vs Actual P/E 8x
CAPE distorted by 66% higher than actual P/E.
Well, this example is a CAPE calculation, so that's an improvement, but it has nothing to do with the peaches. To demonstrate the point, just eliminate your ten years of prices in this example. These prices are exactly the same as your peach analogy. As you'll see, if you delete the line for ten years of prices, nothing will have changed. The CAPE will still be 13.3 and the actual p/e will still be 8. The price dropping in year 10, for the peaches or the new example, is 100% irrelevant.
The troublesome part of this new example is it shows you really don't understand the whole point of CAPE. You say that CAPE is "distorted" by 66% when it's the exact opposite. First, I think you still think it's distorted because of the change in price, when it's not. It's "distorted" in your view by the change in earnings. And it's really the opposite of distorted. CAPE considers one year of earnings distorted, so the whole point is to average ten years to remove distortions. For example, in year 3 or 4, the p/e would be 1000 vs a CAPE of 13.3 You're calling the CAPE distorted when clearly the regular p/e is the distorted ratio. So CAPE solves that by averaging ten years of earnings. Now you may think the company in your example has solved all its previously issues and that earnings will now permanently stay at the 100 level. CAPE disagrees and says on average earnings mean revert so you should expect them to peak and trough going forward. If that's the case then the average earnings of 60 is more representative of the company's earnings power for the next ten years. I think that point is worthy of debate, but has nothing to do with your peaches analogy.
Whether peaches is the best analogy or not is irrelevant, the analysis doesn't change. Distorted historical earnings distort the CAPE P/E ratio. In many instances, the actual current P/E ratio is much more pertinent for forward-looking valuation purposes. Often earnings one year from now are going to be much more correlated with the recent 12-mos earnings than earnings calculated 10 years ago (as is the case with CAPE). As I wrote in my article, the CAPE makes sense in certain markets and is useless in others. Unlike many fervent Shiller CAPE believers, I understand there are many valuation metrics that provide investors a better estimate of intrinsic value (e.g., Price/Free Cash Flow, EV/EBITDA, DCF, Price/Sales, Trailing-Forward P/E, etc.). Unfortunately, many bears cling to the CAPE as the Holy Grail metric and as a rationalization for missing the massive bull market over the last five years.
Shiller readily admits that the CAPE is a poor predictor of returns. He also doesn't advocate not investing when the CAPE is above the historical average, which your example shows. What it does a fabulous job of predicting is future returns over the medium term (10 years). Here you would have a difficult time rebutting the use of the CAPE. We are at levels in CAPE that historically provide ensuing 10 year returns of 2.8% per year.
Kirk: I realize CAPE is not intended to be a short-term indicator, but when stocks collapsed -55% from the peak in 2009 before about tripling in the subsequent five years, one would expect the medium term (10 years) future return outlook to imply above average returns – not the case in 2009. As for the 2.8% you are implying, when the CAPE was at these levels in 2007, after seven years, we have handily achieved returns above that.
Wade, do you REALLY think that Shiller or his "CAPE disciples," as you call them, would pass up an opportunity to buy "peaches" (stocks) if current price dropped by 85% to 90% vs. CAPE? No, they'd back-up the truck and buy with both hands. Same for a price drop of "only" 40% to 50%. Either of those scenarios would represent the very mean reversion that's at the heart of a proper application of CAPE. While there may be reasonable arguments against CAPE, claiming it's BS sort of doesn't fly when your own peaches analogy seems a bit disingenuous itself.
Larry: Thanks for the note. As the chart shows, stock prices dropped by more -50% in 2008-2009 and the CAPE only got down to the 134-year average.
. . . which exactly makes my point . . . CAPE got down to the 134-year average because it mean-reverted. Of course, it sprang right back up this time (QE anyone?) instead of spending years on the underside. But properly applied, CAPE isn't used to find a mechanistic trigger point at which to buy (i.e. only buy when CAPE is lower than 12). Rather, it's a valuation tool that provides an indication of likely future returns over the next 10 years or so. In turn, depending on one's portfolio management approach, that informs where the real risks are and decision-making on what equities should be held at the time.
The earlier post @Brian is correct in stating the peach analysis doesn't work. You're confusing prices with ratios.
You're right, a peach does not have a numerator and a denominator, but like a P/E ratio, lower prices implies a better value (all else equal). Another way to think about it is a peach has a P/E (Price/Enjoyment) ratio. Assuming every peach has the same enjoyment, a lower price will always indicate a better value just like the P/E would for the S&P 500.

The market is overvalued based on MANY metrics, not just CAPE. I won't repeat the extensive analysis provided by John Husssman on his site (www.hussmanfunds.com) on this topic.
But here's the thing: Valuation is demonstrably useless for predicting 1-5 year returns, it is only useful for predicting expected returns over a 7-12 year timeframe. An irrationally exuberant market can always get more so, and vice versa. So don't use the CAPE or any valuation metric to time the market, but be aware that it is overvalued, and that Buy&Hold investors will NOT be treated kindly over the next decade. -

IHS: iPhone 5s component tally reaches $199, iPhone 5c costs $173
Though it has a new camera module, faster processor and fingerprint sensor, the components in the new iPhone 5s are only slightly less expensive than those in the iPhone 5, says IHS. Not surprisingly, the iPhone 5c is cheaper than either the iPhone 5 or the iPhone 5s.
According to AllThingsD, which got an advanced look at the IHS report, the iPhone 5s costs US$199 to build, as compared to $205 for last year's iPhone 5. Components for the 16 GB iPhone 5s cost Apple $191, with another $8 tacked on for assembly. The jump to 64 GB of storage in the 5s bumps up the price by $11, bringing the final cost to $218 for the model.
By using a colorful polycarbonate shell instead of aluminum, Apple is able to trim the cost of the iPhone 5c to $173 for the 16 GB model and $183 for the 64 GB model. These prices include $7 for assembly.
Echoing what was said by iFixit, IHS says the new iPhone models are very similar. "I would say that they're almost the same phone, except that the 5s has the fingerprint sensor, the A7 processor and some newer memory chips that consume less power. Beyond that, they're basically the same," said IHS analyst Andrew Rassweiler.

As the CBS interviewer and divers point out, the shark in the video is a nurse shark.
That's quite a benign sounding name for a species of shark with strong jaws filled with thousands of small, serrated teeth. Actually, nurse sharks are among the most docile creatures in the sea, but are known to bite when provoked.
I'm a certified SCUBA diver, and having a deep appreciation for marine life myself would have been motivated to do the exact same thing, all the while hoping the shark would understand my intentions and not wish to turn on me. I feel it is our responsibility to right the wrongs we create on this Earth whenever and however possible.

Unfortunately, I dont play solo often enough anymore. I have a saturday round with with my kid from the BBBS program, my wife, and her kid from the program. Sunday I have a regular foursome, monday morning I play with the club pro, and tuesday night is league play. If im lucky, ill get 9 in alone on wednesday night. Thursday night the wife and I always do something together, and I keep friday nights free in case she wants to do something or hang out. We are both extremely active people, with a lot going on, and a lot of friends. Thankfully we found a balance. Its a good thing we decided against having kids, because our whole lives would have to change, and neither of us wants that.

If you are sociable at all, going out alone is fine and by hole 5 you dont feel alone at all. I always seem to meet nice interesting people and be curtious and they will do the same.
If I never played alone I might get one maybe 2 rounds a week. I almost prefer golfing alone. You can move faster and dont have to worry about anyone else. More people just makes for more hassle.
I golf as a single most of the time and usually get paired up by the starter. I have had extremely good luck in that most people I've been paired with gave been very nice. I did get paired with one obscenity-spouting club-thrower, that wasn't the most fun 4.5 hours I've ever spent... but that was the exception not the rule.
Very rarely get the course to myself but I love it when I do, especially late afternoon/evening. You can just stop, look around, and hear nothing but birds, the breeze, etc. It's peaceful.

My wife is my main golfing buddy - same comment applies to our golfing. Although, if she's working late, I often play alone - makes me somehow focus more on what I'm doing & is typically more productive.

I play 9 (sometimes 18 this time of year) by myself at least twice a week. Once in a blue moon, I'll get someone to go in the afternoon during the week, but they usually want to get a cart. So, I usually opt to play by myself. It's a pain sometimes getting stuck behind people, but I play there enough that they don't care if I skip around.

As indicated in a couple of my other threads, I just got into the sport/game seriously only a few weeks ago. It seems like back then, everyone wanted to go golfing. After I get all my new clubs/bag/balls/etc everyone cannot make time for it. However, I still want to get better. I hit the range at least once per week. However, I want to actually go to a course. I mean, isn't that the point?
So, since I have no one who currently wants to golf, how "lame" is it to just go and play 9 or 18 by yourself? Does anyone routinely do that?
Nothing wrong with it, but I don't enjoy playing alone. First choice is playing with friends, second is playing with strangers, a distant third is playing alone. Most of the time I'll blow it off rather than playing alone.

I think cargo shorts are hideous, regardless of where you are. If you care about the way you look in public, you should not even own a pair of cargo shorts.

SOLO-NZ Press Release: National Socialists Sell Out Again!Submitted by Lindsay Perigo on Mon, 2009-09-28 01:57
SOLO-NZ Press Release: National Socialists Sell Out Again! September 28, 2009 The National-led Government's draft proposals for legislation to replace the vicious Electoral Finance Act make one wonder why National bothered keeping its much-vaunted promise to repeal that Act, since what is proposed by Justice Minister Simon Power is in many instances indistinguishable from what was, says SOLO Principal Lindsay Perigo. For instance, on state funds for election broadcasting: On campaign spending limits: On political ads: On campaigning by third parties: On radio and television advertising by third parties: On whether you'll be fined $100,000 for exercising your right to free speech: "This is all contemptible," says Perigo. "Sell-out Simon asks how the scheme could better uphold freedom of expression, be simple and easy to comply with. Well, here's something simple, Simon. Just repair to Section 14 of the Bill of Rights Act, which upholds 'the right to freedom of expression, including the freedom to seek, receive, and impart information and opinions of any kind in any form.' "No restrictions on who may fund whom (publicly or privately), who may campaign for whom, who may advertise for whom and with whom—and no taxpayer money to anyone. That's freedom of expression, Simon, and it's darned simple and easy to comply with. "For precisely that reason, one fears, the National Socialists will do the opposite and proceed with this reprehensible resuscitation of the very Act they so recently dumped. This would be sufficient reason to dump them," Perigo concludes. Lindsay Perigo: email@example.com SOLO (Sense of Life Objectivists): SOLOPassion.com

Do you have a Goth side? Bicycle Tragic Royalty playing cards do, too. The Tragic Royalty Deck is designed with bold black and dark-red backs, with whimsical and ghoulish court cards, each with separate impish poses and the Ace of Spades tangled in a fitting spider web.
The biggest surprise of all: These playing cards glow in the dark when used under a black light.
Great for card players, card collectors, magicians, or just another way to impress the kids with a deck of cards for family game night.

It's been a year of painting the sunrise!
Oh man, I need to get on this blogging thing some more. 2015 is going to be more blog posts, I hope. But yes! I've painted the sunrise from the same spot for a year. I estimate around 70 paintings have been made during this time. So I took a good number of them and made it into a compilation video, with a progress video in the beginning. Kind of neat to see how the sketches have progressed through the year as I learned more about lighting and colour, as well as design choices. There's still a lot of room for improvement though, hopefully this coming year will be addressing some of that.
The background music is from postmoderndisco's EP "Chasing Memories" (which I did the album cover for, but more on that in a later post). The track is "Edge of Eden", and the EP is available here: http://postmoderndisco.bandcamp.com
Now for the paintings!! I haven't posted them here in so long, I'll just post some favourites since my last post. You can of course see all of them on my Tumblr for it: http://sunrisepaintings.tumblr.com
As usual, mostly painted with Procreate on iPad and Photoshop. Til next post!

We start at Cooley's Landing Marina, a circular route around Fort Lauderdale, including Sailboat Bend, Tarpon River, Croissant Park, Poinciana Park, Harbordale, Rio Vista, Las Olas, the beach, Victoria Park, and Downtown.... The ride will end at TAP 42.
Pace 17-25+++ mph and up
The route is about 15 miles, with several sprint points during the ride... total riding time 1.5 hours
We meet at 8:00, pedals at 8:15, if you expect to arrive later, we can be intercepted easily. MNPR group should arrive at Las olas/A1A between 8:45/50 , 20 minutes later the group departs 711 on Bayview/ Sunrise
Please note there are 6 designated stops on this ride:
1. Davie/ SW 9th avenue
2. Federal/ SE 15th street
3. A1A/ Las Olas (as soon as all are gathered we have 20 minutes to LEAVE 711)
4. Bayview 711
5. Federal/ NE 4th street
6. Tap 42
The stops are so that we can regroup from each sprint point.
This ride is intended to be increasingly faster each week,
Learn the route and the stops, be faster, stronger and lead it.
Please call out hazards. Eliminate stress, keep yourself in check, let everyone learn to ride their own ride. Ride at your own risk and respect others using the streets.
All types of bikes and riders are welcome, you'll know if it's for you if you try it... As always please be equipped for safety (lights are the law) and prepared for flats and other possibilities.
The 2013 Florida Statutes regarding bikes in traffic:
*parking available in the lot and all over downtown, be ready to pay your meter (or the fine!)
Riding to the ride is highly recommended ; )
*anyone displaying antisocial behavior towards other riders (online and in person) and endangering others is expressly uninvited from this group ride*
I'm surprised by the level of growth I've seen since becoming an organizer, it's given me more confidence in my abilities.

Cant say as I am. I have seen people who really get into it though. Whole to scale and to time period layouts of whole systems, etc. A hobby I am/was into, money and restrictions are making it harder now, is high power rocketry.

Reuven Feuerstein
Reuven Feuerstein (b. 1921) is a Romanian-born clinical psychologist of Jewish origins, who conducts research into developmental and cognitive issues from a cross-cultural perspective. In particular, his interests include Down syndrome, traumatic brain injured patients and autism.
Feuerstein's theory that intelligence is not fixed but modifiable is a regarded as a groundbreaking approach. Put in his own words: "Intelligence is not a static structure, but an open, dynamic system that can continue to develop throughout life." Feuerstein is the chairman of the International Center for the Enhancement of Learning Potential (ICELP), based in Jerusalem, Israel. He started his career in Bucharest at the start of World War II. After the war, when he was living in Israel, the clinical psychologist started helping children who had survived the Holocaust.
Feuerstein earned a teacher's degree in Bucharest in 1944 and went on to attend a teacher's seminary in Jerusalem before resuming his education in Switzerland in 1949. In 1955, he earned a degree in general and clinical psychology at the University of Geneva, where he was taught by Andrey Rey and Jean Piaget. In 1970, Feuerstein acquired a PhD in developmental psychology at the Sorbonne University in Paris. Swiss-born psychologist Piaget (1896-1980) had a strong impact on Feuerstein's work. According to Piaget's theory, children are not passive recipients of information, but scientists who actively construct knowledge. Feuerstein is well known in his own right for developing the theories and systems of Structural Cognitive Modifiability (SCM), Mediated Learning Experience (MLE), Dynamic Assessment - Learning Propensity Device (LPAD), Instrumental Enrichment (FIE) and Shaping Modifying Environments (SME).
The MLE is a method based on the systematic interaction between the learner and the mediator. Mediation differs from traditional teaching and seeks to influence the student's cognitive structure. The mediator makes conscious efforts to improve the learner's problem-solving skills and critical thinking capacity. Feuerstein developed the so-called Cognitive Map, which is an analytical instrument designed to identify the learner's understanding problems. The learning activities can be grouped according to seven parameters. These parameters encompass subject matter, problem-solving skills, mode of instruction, level of complexity and level of abstraction.
The Feuerstein Method is designed for boosting children's mental ability. In his research Feuerstein proved that there is no genetic predisposition or fixed conditions which predetermine mental capacity and learning. According to his method, all people are able to improve their achievements. Furthermore, their cognitive capacity can be modified via mediated learning experiences.
According to Feuerstein's theory, cognitive deficiencies can be identified and corrected. His method gives guidance on how to build the learner's cognitive structure, strengthen his or her learning tactics and enhance problem-solving skills. The development of the learner's cognitive functions is analyzed via the LPAD — a system which helps a mediator analyze the learner's cognitive development. Unlike standardized tests, LPAD does not draw upon single responses. Instead, the mediator takes into account his or her observations of the learner's repeated responses.
Feuerstein developed his Instrumental Enrichment (FIE) method to help the learner build critical thinking skills. The method, which is based on paper-and-pen exercises which are visually stimulating, has proved to be efficient in addressing math problems. It is also applied for the work with autistic children and those diagnosed with the Down syndrome. The program aims to change the passive cognitive processes of participants, encouraging them to acquire an independent thinking style. FIE includes 15 instruments, with each of them addressing a specific cognitive deficiency. It is recommended that these are applied for one hour between three and five days a week.
The instruments in FIE include non-verbal exercises, such as organization of dots, orientation in space, numerical progressions and syllogisms. Exercises related to temporal relations and transitive relations are meant to strengthen the learner's comprehension skills. The advanced levels of an extended program include work with absurdities, analogies, illusions, language and symbolic comprehension, maps and auditory and haptic discrimination. FIE is used in 28 languages in more than 80 countries around the world.
Feuerstein's Modifying Environment is another method which is designed at promoting cognitive development. Feuerstein believes that the environment has to ensure equal opportunities and accessibility and to provide conditions for what he describes as "positive stress." Individualized instruction and mediation are also included as part of this method.
