These are nice bins to store small items. There are 2 sizes of bins that can be removed and rearranged (they are also interchangeable with the 20 bin organizer). HF listened to the complaints about the label - it is now held on with just a small piece of tape which removes easily. I didn't give this item 5 stars due to there inability to stack. Like another reviewer mentioned. The size and location of the bottom corners do not match with the recess in the lid so if you try and stack them they will not be very stable.

I have purchased many of the previous (yellow/gry) versions of the #93929 and been totally satisfied with them - especially their precise stacking feature. The newer version (orange/blk) is totally useless for stacking due to a design flaw. The size and location of the bottom corners do NOT match the recess in the lid, making any stacking unstable. Expect to be disappointed if you buy multiples of the newer design.

Great Storage Containers!!!
By Ed
from Clifton, Maine
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
The best part of these boxes are the storage bins inside are all interchangeable so you can customize these if you buy several of these containers. I had great luck peeling the top layer of the label off and covering the paper portion of the label with fluid film. After a few hours the label peels off in one piece with no residue at all. Will be going back to buy more!!
Great parts organizer!
By Jonah
from Brookfield NH
This is a great parts bin. Well designed, strong and reliable at a great price. The label is no big deal. Use a hair dryer to heat it up for 30 sec. or so then gently pull it off. Remove residue with adhesive cleaner or anything else that will cut it such as nail polish remover etc. It's probably a 3 minute job. I highly recommend this parts organizer.
Great boxes

I'm buying a third one to replace some small Dew... storage boxes I paid double for elsewhere. Been using these for a couple of years now. Label comes off with some orange oil gum remover.

Great Storage Case. … Labels are awful.

About Me Avid do-it-yourselfer
I use several of these parts storage cases in different sizes and I think their great, especially for the price. … I find spraying a little "Goo Gone" on the labels them makes them easy to remove.

You can put all your stuff of a particular kind in it,to carry and display when you get to a flea market or wherever.Great for buttons thimbles clasps or any small items.
Useful and great value!
By Iminocca
from So Cal
I use these to store small items in my RV. They travel well, the lid stays closed, parts don't get mixed up, and I really like being able to remove the small bins individually. I've tried several different style and brands and like these the best (I'm sometimes a little obsessive about organizing my stuff)...BTW, a heat gun works wonders in removing labels from these things!

AS IF to confirm its zest for life with the euro, Spain can boast the first big banking deal of the new era. Banco Santander and Banco Central Hispanoamericano announced on January 15th that they would merge. The new Banco Santander Central Hispanoamericano (BSCH) will dwarf Banco Bilbao Vizcaya (BBV), Santander's rival at the top of the Spanish market, and become the largest bank, by market capitalisation, in the euro area. The merger could also create the largest foreign financial institution in Latin America.
The stockmarket liked the deal—both banks' shares rose sharply in the days following the announcement. Bank mergers have been expected, for Spain's bank market is overcrowded and profit margins are being squeezed thanks to the lowest interest rates in years. Consolidation has already reduced the number of big banks from eight in 1986 to five now (see chart). Yet this merger still took the market by surprise. Most pundits had their eyes on the next-biggest banks: BBV, which had been talking about consolidation much more loudly than had Santander; and Argentaria, privatised last year, which has made no secret of its search for a partner.
But with quick negotiations (said to have taken less than a month) the new BSCH has wrong-footed its rivals. The speed owes something to the concentration of power at Santander in the hands of its chairman, Emilio Botin, whose family owns a controlling stake. Mr Botin could deal with Angel Corcostegui, chief executive of BCH, without either feeling that they would be rivals in the new entity.
The question now is how the other Spanish banks—especially BBV—will respond to Santander's coup. Merging BBV's 13% share of the Spanish retail-banking market with Argentaria's 7% or Banco Popular's 4% would bring it close to BSCH's 19%. Banco Popular, the most profitable bank in Europe (measured by return on equity), has previously been the object of longing scrutiny from several big banks in Spain and abroad. Last summer, several managers were sacked for talking to potential merger partners.
That aloofness might change: Popular, whose business is purely in retail banking, has experienced even more pressures on its margins than other banks, and its share price has suffered accordingly. A takeover at current prices would bring shareholders instant reward. Argentaria may be a more immediately plausible candidate for BBV's attentions, provided a merger met the approval of the government, which retains a controlling "golden share". There are possibilities beyond Spain, too: BBV's stake in Banca Nazionale del Lavoro has triggered speculation about a Spanish-Italian merger.
While BBV and the others scramble to respond, BSCH will be busy stitching together operations in its 8,681 offices worldwide, and co-ordinating its 106,519 staff. Several glaring overlaps and strategic differences will need early attention. In Chile, BCH has a 22% stake in Banco Santiago, the top bank, while Santander's 85%-owned Chilean subsidiary is number two in the country. There may be similar overlaps in Argentina.
Will the two banks mesh? The task of ensuring they do will fall mainly to Mr Corcostegui, the new chief executive, whose track record is good. But one Machiavellian interpretation of events doing the rounds in Madrid sees Mr Botin having ambitions, in the longer run, to install a new chief executive—perhaps his daughter, Ana Patricia Botin. Family control may have helped to speed through the creation of BSCH, but it could come back to haunt the new bank.
And it may sit ill with BSCH's international ambitions. All Spanish banks feel under pressure because their home market is smaller than those of, for instance, France and Germany. By assets, Spanish banks are not especially large; by market capitalisation they are among Europe's biggest. The high capitalisation guards them against takeover by other European banks, but if their profits were to fall, they would become easy targets. That has kept them looking for cost savings, and domestic mergers remain the most inviting option, especially now that Latin America, source of 30% of Santander's profits, is in trouble. But BSCH, which already has stakes in Commerzbank in Germany, Société Générale in France and Royal Bank of Scotland, is also positioning itself for eventual cross-border mergers or alliances in Europe. Zest for the euro needs to encompass pan-European ambitions.

Click / tap on the photo to see present day view. (T&G Staff / PAUL KAPTEYN)
WORCESTER -- Grafton Hill's Billings Square, a rotary in front of St. Stephen's Church, may seem crowded with traffic today, but that isn't a new story. In 1964, when our "Then" photo was taken, traffic at the intersection was still a hot topic.
That's because Billings Square was the intersection of two major arteries — Hamilton and Grafton Streets — and the many smaller residential streets that clustered around the churches and stores and restaurants of the neighborhood.
Grafton Street had always been a busy street that led to the center of the city, where anything you couldn't get on Grafton Hill was probably available. In the era of the automobile, the rotary become busier and busier, and more difficult to navigate. Gridlock was common during rush hours.
It still is, but these days, there's no Iandoli's Market or bakery fronting on the square. The strip of stores that stands where Iandoli's once was now includes a liquor store and a convenience store.
But only one of the three-deckers running down the north side of Grafton Street has disappeared; the rest remain, still providing a roof over people's heads. But in many cases, the previously spacious apartments, usually one to a floor, have been broken up into smaller apartments.
Billings Square and Grafton Hill are still a thriving neighborhood, and there's still pedestrian traffic, in spite of the busy rotary.
The monument in the center of the rotary honors one of Worcester's fallen soldiers and is an impressive one. It reminds us of the death of Mechanic Henry W. Billings, who was 24 when he was killed in France in October 1918, just before the armistice ended the war that took his life.

Repêchage Celebrates 30th Anniversary in New York City
The Repêchage 30th Anniversary Celebration, held recently at New York's Tribeca Rooftop, was an emotional event. Lydia Sarfati, CEO and founder of Repêchage, began by tearfully reciting The Meaning of Success by Ralph Waldo Emerson to 200 skin-care and spa professionals. Marking 30 years since Sarfati first launched her career-altering Four Layer Facial in 1980, the night kicked off with close friends sharing memories of Sarfati's beginnings, while a slideshow of photos from the company through the years played in the background and was followed by the highly anticipated announcement of the annual Repêchage Spa de Beauté of the Year award winners.
Felicia Milewicz, beauty director of Glamour Magazine; Andrea Robinson, former beauty editor at Vogue; Lesley Jane Seymour, editor-in-chief of More Magazine; and Susan Sommers, best-selling author of French Chic and founder of DressZing, the group referring to themselves as 'The Big Chill Sisters,' shared beautiful memories from the early years of Sarfati's career. Stories of cured pregnancy breakouts, careers saved by the Four Layer Facial and forward thinking, unprecedented photo shoots had the sisters feeling nostalgic. Robinson recalled, 'Thirty years ago, she put a mask on me and I had the most beautiful skin after. I asked her what was in it and at the she said, Seaweed and other minerals.' I don't know how many people in the industry are really as forward looking as Lydia. That is all anybody is talking about today. Nobody was doing it at that time. And after that, I sent all the models at Vogue over to her for facials.'
Close friend Joel Gerson, Ph.D., authorof Milady's Standard Textbook for Professional Estheticians and Milady's Standard Fundamentals for Estheticians, shared humor filled stories of his friendship with the Sarfati family over the years. Denise Fuller, editor in chief of Les Nouvelles Esthetiques & Spa, announced the three winners of the prestigious Spa de Beaute of the Year Awards selected by the magazine, continuing the tradition in appreciating the dedication and commitment of top Repêchage spas. Michelle Lamb of Lemongrass Spa from Valdosta, Georgia, accepted the award for Day Spa of the Year; Julie Mahoney of Oasis Day Spa from Weymouth, Massachusetts, accepted the award for Skin Care Spa Center of the Year; and Mayola Amador of Melange World Spa from Neuvo Vallarta, Mexico, accepted the award for Destination Spa of the Year.
Sarfati thanked everyone for believing in her and extended a special thank you to David Sarfati, her husband and COO of Repêchage, for supporting her dreams all along. Guests danced the rest of the night away before heading out with Repêchage goodie bags in tow.

Apple has always been an amazing company and hopefully will stay that way. When Gates resigned microsoft dropped, hopefully the same does not happen to apple, because if it does i would just be crushed.
I dont think Apple will achieve the same degree of greatness without Steve Jobs. There has never been a business leader like him who has transformed so many industries in one lifetime... The Passion and pursuit of perfection which are innate to Steve Jobs, have been the primary drivers of success of Apple. And these cant be handed over as a set of instructions or a process manual to his successor, and which is why Apple wont be the same without him. Some more thoughts - http://www.rahulbalyan.com/2011/09/and-one-last-thing/
Steven jobs is respected not just for his innovation in his work,but his attitude to the life.Inventive work achievement with cancer body for more than five years,the common can not get the pin.
His attitude must inspire one and one new generation in every field!
"Remember you will die eventually" -steven jobs!
"Can Silicon Valley's most disruptive firm prosper without its maker?"
…It's not just a matter of Apple. But it's a matter of Apes. No doubt,
without the iMac, your firm hadn't created the phony iMac. No doubt,
without the iPhone, her firm didn't invent the fake iPhone. No doubt,
without the iPad, his firm hasn't sold the dubious iPad. And amazing-
ly they've grabbed some market share.
But now that "unfortunately, that day has come," how are those apes,
listed firms, going to "prosper"? Who is going to inspire their innova-
tion? Going to ape some other ape's products that are also aped?
You can't leave now, Mr. Jobs. You are still in quest of "perfection."
Yes, you are. It's not that gorgeous to talk about, but take Apple's
OS systems. Say, "OSX Snow Leopard," as its web site trumpets it,
"The world's most advanced operating system."
My MacBook Pro, bought in August last year, is run by Snow Leopard.
But ever since I got it, whenever I start or restart the PC--folders on
my desktop get out of alignment. Alas, the arrangements of my fold-
ers, icons go crazy.
"The world's most advanced operating system"? It takes me a while
to find a folder--out of more than 150 of them on the desktop--that I
want to open, and start working with it. Your business, on the "most
advanced" OS, has to start with very primitive work with your eyes.
This is the most disgusting problem I've ever had with Apple. Accord-
ing to AppleCare, its (unhelpful) support program, the "phenomenon"
on the OS hasn't happened to every user, but it admitted the problem.
"Our engineers have been working hard on it," it says. As of today, its
version is 10.6.8. So it's getting better. Still, my folders on the desk-
top go crazy at least a couple of times a week. It still plagues me. It
is, perhaps, impossible for them to fix it, for they've upgraded it eight
times already.
Does Mr. Jobs know about this fxxxxn' problem?…Highly confidential?
If not, what do you suggest me to do, Mr. Jobs? Well, not to make any
folders on the desktop? If that suggestion comes from Mr. Jobs, none
other than Steve Jobs, I will never ever make any folders from now on.
I promise.
Or, to buy "OS X Lion," the new OS…? Well. Do you, do you think that
"morons" will just keep buying your products? Is that one of the strat-
egies? Thank you very much for having made me a moron, Mr. Jobs.
Hope that he gets better. Yes, he will. And that he harasses those en-
gineers that have failed to fix the OS problem. Yes, they love it.
The onus is, after all, on a genius to attract people as well as morons.
I agree with you the new CEO has a lot in his hands.
Steve is the reason that apple has had success. After HE launched the iPhone Apple made millions in the first couple of weeks. Now that he is resigning the new CEO is going to have to step up his game, don't get me wrong i am not saying that he is not qualified, but i think that Steve is one of the most business savvy people i have read about.Other than that the new I pad, and Iphone are coming out soon so two of Apples best selling products are going to be left in the hands of someone who just became CEO and has no room for error.
Steve Jobs has lead Apple to sucess but Apple will still be sucessfull without him.
Although Steve Jobs has led the company (Apple) to extraordinary success, the fate of the company shows promise in the hands of Mr. Cooks who has thoroughly experienced the gifted decision making of his boss first hand.
Mr Jobs world won't end,tech world just on its track.even Mr Jobs,a great entrepreneur in the world steps down,new giant will turn out,and apple era will continue
Mr Jobs world won't end,tech world just on its track.even Mr Jobs,a great entrepreneur in the world steps down,new giant will turn out,and apple era will continue1
the iPad is like a paperweight. the reason it was created was because Apple wants to avoid releasing a netbook /mini-laptop because these mini computers have been cannibalizing the business of the regular laptop.
the last thing Apple wants to do is put out a min-laptop with a pricepoint of 200 EUR.
Amazing that the Economist has forgotten his failed Next enterprise.
The career list for Steve Jobs is both incorrect and incomplete. Jobs did not found Pixar, he bought it from Lucasfilm. The founding of Next computer is a glaring omission. When Jobs returned to Apple the Mac OS was outdated and technically inferior to Microsoft's best offerings. Nextstep became the basis of Apple OSX, which allowed Mac to boast of a superior user experience, once again.
While I am no fan of Steve Jobs and Apple, I have enough courage to say without him, the company won't have a future at all.
There is no doubt that within Apple, Steve Jobs is something of a demi-god, revered, feared and worshiped, and never easily criticized.
He is innovative, intelligent and has personal charm; the moment he holds an Apple gadget to an audience, he drives millions to buy it in droves.
Yet for all his innovativeness, he needed Tim Cook. Theirs were complementary roles: innovator and marketer.
Steve Jobs can spend a century dreaming about his next innovation in a lab. But to get that super-idea to the market, he needs many Tim Cooks.
Apple is in the afternoon of its useful life; it's days are indeed numbered.
In my opinion, Apple will survive in the short term, but its fortunes in the long run will depend on its capability to discover and raise new talents to ensure the sustainability of innovation. Eye-dazzling pace of change in the tech sector would not allow those who lag behind to live long. "Never stop so as not to fall" principle applies here. As for my opinion, given the experience and culture gained by the Firm during the years with Mr. Jobs at the helm, Apple seems likely to succeed in doing this.
Oceans of ink have been spilled about how "Steve Jobs is leaving Apple and how he will be "missed" ".
The reality is that Steve is now Apple's Board Chairman, where he may very well have more time to think up the Next New Thing (the iTV?, i3DPrinter?, iGPS? iCholesterolCounter?).
Moving from CEO to Chairman is something that happens 100s of times every day.
Of course, since he has, (at least in theory) more flexibility over his schedule as Chairman, Steve can devote more time to getting his health back to normal. And everyone wishes Steve a speedy recovery!
But we really need to put this in perspective.
Here's an article by Tom Hormby with a detailed history of NeXT, and how its operating system came to be used by Apple:
I don't know, I think Apple has reached its top.
1) It was SJ who was creating market and demand, and not vice vrsa
2) As was previously said "Apple is SJ and SJ is Apple", lots of people buying Istuff preferred not to choose from Hi-tech devices but offered SJ to make the decision for them. (my apologize to funs)
If i remember correctly, Mr. Jobs founded Next after been ousted from Apple and then later Apple bought over Next and later He was brought in. Pixar was a running company which Jobs bought majority shares (i think). Either way, he is an inspirational leader who knows how to take a dying company to be the best in the world. Great Job, Mr. Jobs
It's a myth, by the way, that Jobs created the Mac. The genius behind the Macintosh was Jef Raskin.

The rabid fanbase of Team ICO (Ico, Shadow of the Colossus) reportedly sent in "a couple hundreds of e-mails" to Official PlayStation Magazine last month, hoping the outlet could glean some new information on their current project. This month, OPM published one of those letters and provided some promising statements.
When asking Kaz Hirai about Team ICO's current happenings, another executive in the room reportedly blurted out "I'm pretty sure they're doing the sequel." No other information was discerned, given that Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are based on, erm, "similar" worlds and art styles, we're interested in what direction Fumitu Ueda and company will take in terms of game play.

I wet my knickers in M&S on purpose.
(181 Posts)Ok, so I've changed my name to protect my identity and from the life long ribbing I'd get on here.
I went Xmas shopping with my mother and we stopped at M&S for a bite to eat, I need to wee more but am also hungry -we had to queue for ages but finally when we sat down all was good.
I go to use the loo as by now I am desperate. There is a man outside the loo with a cleaning cart and he stops me from going in "I'm cleaning them" he says. After 10 minutes of waiting there, staring at him staring at the door I say "You're not actually cleaning them are you?"
He says "Yes I have to wait 20 minutes to make sure everyone is out"
"Well, I'll go in there have a look for you , spend a penny at the same time and we'll all be happy"
"No, I'm cleaning" he says
By this point I am barely able to walk and scream in an awful Nicki (from BB) fashion
"I'm bloody 7 months pregnant and need to wee for gods sake"
"But I'm cleaning" he says still outside staring at the door, now with his arm in the way of entry.
Right then.
And I wet myself in front of all the other ladies who were tutting at having to wait.
Cue one of the ladies in the queue getting an assistant who then got the manager who took me to the staff toilets/asked my size brought me some knickers and trousers and apologised profusely.
I am terribly stubborn sometimes.
AbbyLou, those other women should be ashamed of themselves
I know what you mean Popsy. I bet people have far more embarassing wee stories than these. I have to say, the aforementioned friend of mine is notorious for her weak bladder. I've seen her piss herself (or nearly) quite a few times. She did it at a Derby County match once because she thought she could wait for half time and she did it on the underground once. Most times were alcohol related like the train one. We were going back to a friend's house who lived right at the end of the line and from the minute we got on she kept saying "I need the toilet, I need the toilet" every few minutes. We were all drunk and quite young at the time. Anyway, after about 20 minutes on the train it became "I'm dying for a wee" and she actually asked a man if there were toilets on the underground trains. The rest of use nearly wet ourselves laughing!! The journey was taking ages and we kept stopping, you know what those late night ones are like. By now she was doubled over reminiscent of a kid on the playground who leaves it too late. It all ended rather emabrassingly with her announcing to the whole carriage "I'm really sorry everyone but a little bit of wee has just come out and I can't hold the rest in any longer" at which point she literally gushed all over the floor. Most people laughed but one man was so disgusted he said he was ringing the transport police. When we got off in Stratford there were loads of police and we ran all the way home terrified that they were after us!!
i am not pregnant but have early pissed myself lauging out loud at this thread
My best mate did this once in a toilet queue in a theatre. We went to the toilet during the interval but of course the queues were huge. She had wanted to go from about 5 minutes into the play but becasue we were in the middle of the row and she was 8 months pregnant she didn't want to disturb all the people near us by clumsily getting out. Anyway, in the queue she was obvioulsy in some distress. She was dancing about and holding herself - with BOTH hands!!! Not one woman in the queue let her go to the front, even when she was in tears from the pain. I had a right go at one woman who made some comment about self-control and how my friend should have been ashamed of herself for showing herself up. In the end I asked several women who got to the front if my friend could go in next but they all claimed to be desperate. Inevitably my mate lost her battle with 'self-control' and weed all over the floor. She was so embarassed she just stood and cried while I took my jacket off to wrap round her bum and hide the enormous wet patch. We made a hasty exit a have to say. We have a good laugh about it now but at the time she was so embarassed.
why didn't you just wee in his cart ? I would have done.
boboggglimpopo...got a similar story to tell...when I was pg with es and also working as a nurse a patient that I severely disliked anywya, projectile vomitted just as I entered the room...I mean, he hit the opposite wall of his private room...and I just joined in with the puking....lovely! Although, I suppose not quite as horrid as your story!
and LOL @ CMB
this thread makes me laugh. i wonder what the OP (whoever she may be) is thinking about this?
rubbing her hands with glee that you've all got so heated? or embarassed that she's shared this with you? or not bothered at all? i wonder.
well, it made for a good 5 min read from my point of view!
'good for you'
'good for you'
confirmation that you are all mad
and condone things on here that you would never, I mean never do IRL
you bonkers lot
ggglimpopo - have just wet myself (in the privacy of my own home)
Goodness, what an over-reaction to this story!
Good for you, IPDaily. Hopefully the shop might rethink the mad 20 minute rule.
glimmpopo - what a great story.
dd and I went into M+S yesterday. She needed a pee and couldn't wait, the loos were "closed for maintenance" and a nice lady took us upstairs to the staff loos. No floor wetting required in Kilmarnock!
psml ggglimpoppo
Not me.
When I was seven months pg and a nurse - this old chap with trembly hands tried to empty his colostomy bag in the loo, and slopped it all over my foot; he was wobbly on his feet and needed a hand to walk to the loo. I threw up all over him, just like that! Poor man. Then we both started crying. I couldn't let go of him in case he fell over, so we stood there sobbing in this sort of poo and puke half embrace for what seemed like forever. I still can remember the face of the poor student nurse who came running at the sound of wailing {wink]
I went on maternity leave that afternoon.
I don't think I could pee on demand though, no matter how pg.
No, it's not me and I don't think it's Greeny. I agree with Enid - it is a "god do you know what I really wish I had had the nerve to piss myself in front of that old tosser and I think I'll tell MN I did" sort of thing
Oh OK, it's a Greeny/F&Z wind-up. That explains it.
"Is this really going to be one of those threads where people get all riled and huffy and put each other's more outrageous statements into quotes?"
Good god Greeny what a thing to say
Is this really going to be one of those threads where people get all riled and huffy and put each other's more outrageous statements into quotes?
Oh dear, sorry, I though it was funny
<crawls away to find a more childish thread to play on>
I think it is self deception..the story has been told to excuse the embarrassment of loss of bladder control in public and the poster has dissassociated herself in such a way that she explains it by creating her own myth from id which absolves her of guilt and humiliation and reasserts her ego in a position of control
"It is pretty infuriating trying to hold in a piddle when you are heavily pregnant though"
Well, quite, which is why most pregnant women tend to go when they first need a wee, rather than leaving it until they're virtually wetting themselves
No offence Enif, I was only poking fun <don't-be-offended emoticon>
It is pretty infuriating trying to hold in a piddle when you are heavily pregnant though, it doesn't horrify me that much that someone might just "let go"...
I agree Enid, not something to be proud of.
has anyone on here actually tried to piss themselves? it is virtually impossible. in my younger days someone I know tried, in the interests of scientific research, reasonably full bladder, fully clothed, in his own front room. it took him about 45 minutes of serious concentration. (admittedly he wasn't 7 months pg)
luckily that hangup is not wetting myself like an animal if i don't get my own way
it has stood me in good stead so far

Why Aeroflex (ARX) Stock Surged to a One-Year High Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Aeroflex (ARX - Get Report) surged more than 25% to a one-year high of $10.47 on Tuesday after British aerospace and defense supplier Cobham announced it would purchase the U.S. communications equipment manufacturer for $920 million.
Cobham said it would pay $10.50 a share in cash for the New York-based company in the deal, the largest in the company's 80-year history. The deal has a value of $1.46 billion, which includes the assumption of Aeroflex's $540 million of debt.
The stock closed up 25.63% to $10.44 on Tuesday. More than 1.4 million shares changed hands, which eclipsed the average volume of 89,066.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates AEROFLEX HOLDING CORP as a "hold" with a ratings score of C-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate AEROFLEX HOLDING CORP (ARX) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its increase in stock price during the past year, increase in net income and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including disappointing return on equity and generally higher debt management risk." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Electronic Equipment, Instruments & Components industry. The net income increased by 156.7% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$9.39 million to $5.33 million.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, reflecting both the market's overall trend during that period and the fact that the company's earnings growth has been robust. Despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year, there is currently no conclusive evidence that warrants the purchase or sale of this stock.
- AEROFLEX HOLDING CORP reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, AEROFLEX HOLDING CORP reported poor results of -$1.25 versus -$0.64 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.62 versus -$1.25).
- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 2.29 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company. Regardless of the company's weak debt-to-equity ratio, ARX has managed to keep a strong quick ratio of 1.54, which demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Electronic Equipment, Instruments & Components industry and the overall market, AEROFLEX HOLDING CORP's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Low Pad Chair by Jasper Morrison

I just re-fell in love with this chair today when I saw it over at Nicolas' small cool apartment entry at Apartment Therapy. We originally posted it almost 3 years ago, and I thought it was time for a revisit.

Opened 1 May 2013
Comfortably married for 25 years, James and Eleanor's world is upended when James agrees to a secret rendezvous with their recently widowed friend, Kate.

A glorious meeting of humour, eroticism and duplicity, this modern classic and winner of the Evening Standard Award for Best Play makes a much-anticipated return to the West End.

From 1880 to 2013, the highest recorded use of the name "Sophia" was in 2012 with a total of 22,245 babies. (That's a lot of baby Sophias)

Debbie Reynolds (born April 1, 1932) is an American actress, singer, and dancer.
Initially signed at age sixteen by Warner Bros., Reynolds' career got off to a slow start. When her contract was not renewed, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) gave her a small but significant part in the film Three Little Words (1950) starring Fred Astaire and Red Skelton, then signed her to a seven-year contract. In her next film, Two Weeks with Love (1950), she had a hit with the song "Aba Daba Honeymoon". However, it was her first leading role at age 19 in Singin' in the Rain (1952) with Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor, that set her on the path to fame. By the mid-1950s, she was a major star.
Other notable successes include Susan Slept Here (1954), Bundle of Joy (1956), Tammy and the Bachelor (1957), in which her rendering of the song "Tammy" reached number one on the music charts; a major role opposite Gregory Peck in the Western How the West Was Won (1962); and The Unsinkable Molly Brown (1964), a biographical film about the famously boisterous Margaret Brown, for which she received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress. In 1973 Reynolds was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her performance in Irene. She was also nominated for an Emmy Award for playing Grace's mother on Will & Grace.
Reynolds's first marriage, to popular singer Eddie Fisher, produced a son, author/host producer Todd Fisher, and a daughter, actress/author Carrie Fisher, but ended in divorce in 1959 when Fisher fell in love with Reynolds's former (and later) friend Elizabeth Taylor. Reynolds's second and third marriages also ended in divorce.
She is a noted collector of film memorabilia, beginning with the landmark 1970 MGM auction. In June 2011, unable to find a suitable home for her large collection, she began auctioning it off. She continues to perform successfully on stage, television and film to the present day. In January 2015, Reynolds received the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award.
Reynolds was born Mary Frances Reynolds in El Paso, Texas, the second child of Maxine N. (née Harmon; 1913–1999) and Raymond Francis Reynolds (1903–1986), who was a carpenter for the Southern Pacific Railroad.[1][2] She has a Scottish-Irish and English ancestry.[3] Reynolds was a Campfire Girl and a troop leader (a scholarship in her name is offered to high-school age Girl Scouts). Her family moved to Burbank, California in 1939, where she was raised in a strict Nazarene faith. At age sixteen, in 1948, while a student at Burbank High School (not Burroughs High as has been misreported), she won the Miss Burbank beauty contest. Soon after, she had a contract with Warner Bros, and acquired a new first name. Her older brother Bill graduated from Burbank High School in 1947.
Reynolds regularly appeared in movie musicals during the 1950s and had several hit records during the period. Her song "Aba Daba Honeymoon" (featured in the film Two Weeks with Love [1950] as a duet with Carleton Carpenter) was a top-three hit in 1951. Her most high-profile film role was in Singin' in the Rain (1952) as Kathy Selden. In Bundle of Joy (1956) she appeared with her then-husband, Eddie Fisher.
Her recording of the song "Tammy" (1957; from Tammy and the Bachelor), earned her a gold record,[4] and was the best-selling single by a female vocalist in 1957. It was number one for five weeks on the Billboard pop charts. In the movie (the first of the Tammy film series), she co-starred with Leslie Nielsen.
In 1959, Reynolds recorded her first album for Dot Records, simply called Debbie, which included her own selection of twelve standards including "S'posin'", "Moonglow", "Mean To Me", and "Time After Time". Bing Crosby paid tribute to Reynolds in the sleeve notes accompanying the album thus:
Someone recently said, and with reasonable accuracy I would think, that good singers make good actors. Evidence in support of this belief is available in the recent performances of Sinatra and Martin, for instance, but I would like to put forth also the proposition that the reverse is quite true: good actors make good singers. Assuming they can carry a tune. We all know that Debbie is better than a good actress—she's VERY good, and we all know she can sing with a lilt and a listenable quality that's genuinely pleasant and agreeable. Witness "Tammy". It was small surprise to me then that when I listened to this beautiful album she has etched for Dot, I found myself captivated and enchanted. Quite obviously Debbie had spent a great deal of time selecting the songs to be included, because she's made them her own, and invested them with a sincerity that's inescapable—of contrasting moods to be sure, but the moods are there, and to me, mighty effective. And that, mes amis, is artistry.
Reynolds also scored two other top-25 Billboard hits with "A Very Special Love" (1958) and "Am I That Easy to Forget" (1960)—a pop-music version of a country-music hit made famous by both songwriters Carl Belew (in 1959), Skeeter Davis (in 1960), and several years later by singer Engelbert Humperdinck. She has released several albums of both her vintage performances and her later recordings.[citation needed]
During these years, she also headlined in major Las Vegas showrooms. Her starring role in The Unsinkable Molly Brown (1964) led to a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress. She then portrayed Jeanine Deckers in The Singing Nun (1966). In what Reynolds has called the "stupidest mistake of my entire career",[5] she made headlines in 1970 after instigating a fight with the NBC television network over cigarette advertising on her eponymous television series; NBC canceled the show.[5]
Reynolds made her Broadway debut in 1973 in a revival of Irene, a musical first produced 60 years before. For that production, she received a Tony nomination. She toured with Harve Presnell in Annie Get Your Gun, then wrapped up the Broadway run of Woman of the Year in 1983. In the late 1980s, Reynolds repeated her role as Molly Brown in the stage version of The Unsinkable Molly Brown, first opposite Presnell (repeating his original Broadway and movie role) and later with Ron Raines.[citation needed]
Reynolds continues to make appearances in film and television. She played Helen Chappel Hackett's mother, Deedee Chappel, on an episode of Wings titled, "If It's Not One Thing, It's Your Mother", which originally aired on November 22, 1994.[6] From 1999 to its 2006 series finale, she played Grace Adler's theatrical mother, Bobbi Adler, on the NBC sitcom Will & Grace, which earned her an Emmy Award[7] nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series in 2000. She plays a recurring role in the Disney Channel Original Movie Halloweentown film series as Aggie Cromwell. Reynolds made a guest appearance as a presenter at the 69th Academy Awards in 1997.[citation needed]
She appeared in her West End show Debbie Reynolds: Alive and Fabulous. In June 2010 she replaced Ivana Trump answering reader queries for the weekly paper Globe.[8]
Reynolds' new tell-all autobiography, Unsinkable—a play-on-words of her 1964 film The Unsinkable Molly Brown—was published by William Morrow and Company on April 2, 2013.[9]
Reynolds won the National Board of Review Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Catered Affair (1956).
She has received various nominations for awards including: an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for The Unsinkable Molly Brown (1964), a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy for The Debbie Reynolds Show (1970), a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for Mother (1996) and an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series, for her role of Bobbi Adler in the sitcom Will & Grace (2000). In 1996 and 1997, she received the Lifetime Achievement Award in Comedy, in the American Comedy Awards.
Her foot and hand prints are preserved at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California. She also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6654 Hollywood Boulevard for live performance and a Golden Palm Star on the Palm Springs, California, Walk of Stars dedicated to her.[10]
In November 2006, Reynolds received the "Lifetime Achievement Award" from Chapman University (Orange, California). On May 17, 2007, she was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters from the University of Nevada, Reno, (Reno, Nevada) where she had contributed for many years to the film-studies program.
Reynolds last CD was a Christmas Record with the late Donald O'Connor entitled "Chrissy the Christmas Mouse". It received rave reviews and was arranged by Angelo DiPippo and produced by Dr. Fillardi.
Reynolds has amassed a large collection of movie memorabilia, beginning with the landmark 1970 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer auction, and displayed them, first in a museum at her Las Vegas hotel and casino during the 1990s and later in a museum close to the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles. On several occasions, she has auctioned off items from the collection.
The museum was to relocate to be the centerpiece of the Belle Island Village tourist attraction in the resort city of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, but the developer went bankrupt.[12][13] The museum itself filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy[14] in June 2009.[12]
Todd Fisher, Reynolds' son, announced that his mother was "heartbroken" to have to auction off her collection.[12] It was valued at $10.79 million in the bankruptcy filing.[13] The Vancouver Sun reported that Profiles in History has been given the responsibility of conducting a series of auctions beginning in June and continuing into December 2011.[15] Among the "more than 3500 costumes, 20,000 photographs, and thousands of movie posters, costume sketches, and props" to be sold are Charlie Chaplin's bowler hat and Marilyn Monroe's white "subway dress", whose skirt is lifted up by the breeze from a passing subway train in the film The Seven Year Itch (1955).[15]
Reynolds was hospitalized in October 2012 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles because she had an adverse reaction to medication she was taking. She canceled appearances and concert engagements for the next three months.[16]
Reynolds has been married three times. Her first marriage was to singer Eddie Fisher in 1955. They are the parents of Carrie and Todd Fisher. A public scandal ensued when Fisher and Elizabeth Taylor fell in love following the death of Taylor's then-husband Mike Todd, and Reynolds and Fisher were divorced in 1959. In 2011, first on The Oprah Winfrey Show only weeks before Elizabeth Taylor's death from congestive heart failure, Reynolds explained that she and Taylor happened to be traveling on the ocean liner Queen Elizabeth at the same time when they made up. Reynolds sent a note to Taylor's room, and Taylor sent a note in reply asking to have dinner with Reynolds and end their feud. The two reconciled, and, as Reynolds put it, "...we had a wonderful evening with a lot of laughs".
Her second marriage, to millionaire businessman Harry Karl, lasted from 1960 to 1973. He was previously married to Marie McDonald. Reynolds later found herself in financial difficulty because of Karl's gambling and bad investments.
Reynolds was married to real estate developer Richard Hamlett from 1984 to 1996. They purchased Paddlewheel Hotel & Casino, a small hotel and casino in Las Vegas, but it was not a success. In 1997, Reynolds was forced to declare bankruptcy.[17]
Since 1955, Reynolds has been active in The Thalians,[18] a charitable organization, devoted to children and adults with mental health issues. In 2011 she stepped down after 56 years of involvement, and is now an emerita member.
In keeping with the celebrity tradition of the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival of Winchester, Virginia, Reynolds was honored as the Grand Marshal of the 2011 ABF that took place from April 26 to May 1, 2011.[19]

A low interest rate is just part of your used auto loan with Nationwide Bank. We also offer the flexibility and service you want.

Do I have to buy a used car from a dealership to get a loan from Nationwide Bank?
With a loan from Nationwide Bank, you can purchase a car from a dealer or a private party. That includes online sites such as eBay and Craigslist, used car lots and family or friends.
Is high mileage a factor in my used car loan?
While we don't have set mileage limits, the mileage will impact the value of your used car. In turn, the value of the car will impact how much you can borrow for your used car loan.
Does it make sense for me to buy a car with my home equity line of credit instead of a used car loan?
That depends on your situation. With a used auto loan, you'll get a fixed interest rate and set term. With a home equity line of credit, you may have more flexibility, and you may be able to deduct the loan interest from your taxable income. (Please consult a tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest.)
After I am approved, how quickly can I get a check?
After you fill out the loan application online and you are approved, we'll send you loan documents to read, sign and return. Once we receive your signed documents, you'll get a check in two business days.
Do you charge a different rate for used car loans?
No, Nationwide Bank offers the same low rate for car loans, whether they're new, used or refinanced.
