Twisted thinking: Get lost and then find yourself
Story by Kristen Peterson
Photography by Christopher Smith Local labyrinths offer reflective steps in the right direction
We've got our share. The labyrinth on the hilltop campus of St. Andrew Catholic Community Church in Boulder City, with its nearby line of cypress trees, surrounding benches and, quite poetically, birds, is by far my local favorite. The entrance is through a xeriscaped prayer garden, where placards on stones highlight the history of the universe from its formation 13 billion years ago to the arrival of algae and bacteria, then humans and, finally, the perspective-altering phrase that the church is only five seconds old in relation to the age of the universe. The peaceful walk on the concrete labyrinth, interrupted only by church bells on the hour, is heavenly (for lack of a better word). But then most of them are. My next local labyrinth adventure will likely be the seven-circuit labyrinth in Pahrump at the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension. Designed by Master Gardener Alice Rossington and built using the help of other master gardeners, it sits among native plants and trees and is made from stones on the desert floor. (In true casino-culture fashion, it's open 24 hours.) Also offering a desert experience is a labyrinth made of gravel and stone at The Temple of Goddess Spirituality in Indian Springs. Locally, there's a monthly vigil on a canvas labyrinth held at Christ Church Episcopal on Maryland Parkway. There's also a labyrinth-inspired walking path in Huntridge Circle Park, but it shouldn't be confused with a real labyrinth, in that it has a separate entrance and exit. But should you need a quick, middle-of-the-night labyrinth stop in town, the 24-hour labyrinth on the St. Rose Dominican San Martin Campus on Warm Springs Road is there for you. Surrounded by trees, hedges, rows of small flowering plants and blooming rose bushes, it offers a sense of quiet in the otherwise busy valley, and engenders solitude and connection, even despite the building's windows looking down onto the labyrinth and garden. As with the St. Andrew labyrinth in Boulder City, nearby pamphlets explain the history of labyrinths and stages of walking, from the cleansing, shedding and releasing of everyday life to the receiving in its center of illumination and insight. Or just a relaxing end to a long day.

ACC rules football...seriously?
Through the years Georgia running backs have done a good job in NFL.
ACC rules basketball? How many ACC teams are still playing?
The ACC had one team in the Sweet 16 and no teams after that but, yeah, the ACC is a really great conference.
Maybe Florida can get coach Donovan to coach football, too!
Palming and walking calls seem to disrupt the speed of the game. Unless it's really bad, refs won't call it.

Mental health center to open in Harrisburg
Ben Allen, witf Morning Edition Host | 02.18.14
People coping with bullying, depression, or thoughts of suicide will soon have another place to turn for help in the midstate.
Photo Courtesy of The Foundation for Hope
The Foundation for Hope is slated to launch A Place for Hope Community Center on March 1 on Locust Street in downtown Harrisburg.
Trained volunteers will help those dealing with bullying, depression, or suicidal thoughts, just like they would if one called a 24/7 Hotline.
"To provide the support groups, the safe place to go, a place to get active in the community and volunteer, and a place to make sure you stay on track with what you need to get healthy and be well," says Jesse Gantt, who runs the Foundation for Hope.
Gantt says it aims to not only address crisis situations, but also offer the necessary follow-up help.
"People that deal with bullying, depression and suicide far too often suffer in silence. They suffer in silence because they don't know where to turn and they don't know where to go to be safe. And that's what the community center creates: a safe place for those dealing with bullying, depression and suicide."
Gantt says the center is funded through contributions from individuals and businesses, and rent is already paid for the first year.
He adds it will work to remove the stigma around mental health and and plans to hold another symposium on bullying in May.
He says this will provide another way to get people mentally healthy.

If there is one place on the face of earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India.
The land of dreams and romance, of fabulous wealth and fabulous poverty, of splendour and rags, of palaces and hovels, of famine and pestilence, of genii and giants and Aladdin lamps, of tigers and elephants, the cobra and the jungle, the country of hundred nations and a hundred tongues, of a thousand religions and two million gods, cradle of the human race, birthplace of human speech, mother of history, grandmother of legend, great-grandmother of traditions, whose yesterday's bear date with the modering antiquities for the rest of nations-the one sole country under the sun that is endowed with an imperishable interest for alien prince and alien peasant, for lettered and ignorant, wise and fool, rich and poor, bond and free, the one land that all men desire to see, and having seen once, by even a glimpse, would not give that glimpse for the shows of all the rest of the world combined.
Mark Twain
A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people
It is not only a country and something geographical, but the home and the youth of the soul, the everywhere and nowhere, the oneness of all times.
India is not just a people.
India is the celestial music,
And inside that music
Anybody from any corner of the globe
Can find the real significance of life.
The First Jasmines
Ah, these jasmines, these white jasmines!
I seem to remember the first day when I filled my hands
with these jasmines, these white jasmines.
I have loved the sunlight, the sky and the green earth;
I have heard the liquid murmur of the river
through the darkness of midnight;
Autumn sunsets have come to me at the bend of the road
in the lonely waste, like a bride raising her veil
to accept her lover.
Yet my memory is still sweet with the first white jasmines
that I held in my hands when I was a child.
Many a glad day has come in my life,
and I have laughed with merrymakers on festival nights.
On grey mornings of rain
I have crooned many an idle song.
I have worn round my neck the evening wreath of
BAKULAS woven by the hand of love.
Yet my heart is sweet with the memory of the first fresh jasmines
that filled my hands when I was a child.
Life is given to us,
we earn it by giving it.
Let the dead have the immortality of fame,
but the living the immortality of love
Life's errors cry for the merciful beauty
that can modulate their isolation into a
harmony with the whole.
Life, like a child, laughs,
shaking its rattle of death as it runs.
Beauty is truth's smile
when she beholds her own face in
a perfect mirror.
Beauty is truth's smile
when she beholds her own face in a perfect mirror.
Beauty is in the ideal of perfect harmony
which is in the universal being

Picked up a TF700 here last week and unfortunately to really see these things shine you have to Root and Unlock it. Doing so of course breaks your Warranty but go spend $70 on a 2 yr squaretrade for the accidental sponge bath or frisbee toss and your covered.
Thanks said one you unlock and put a custom ROM on it this thing FLIES! However you shouldn't have to "break" something to make it function. Who knows maybe and update in the future will address these issues and you can be happy with your stock. |
I'm looking for something that have full support for all the features/hardware of the unit (including the Dock). that runs rock solid stable. I have one with the dock and it is alittle slow in certain aspect and I know there are some asus bloat ware in it. and have occasional crash. btw: SOFT METAL http://www.geniv.com/kin/reviews/...rwound.jpg having have it for 2 months.. he metal is kinda "soft" it won't resist a bump as much as other tablets I've had. too much bump and tend to bend if it have enough force on it.

This is a good deal but if you are in the market for a 10 Android tablet its a tough decision to make and I am not sure if this model is really to be considered anymore now that we know the Asus Memo 10 will be coming out very shortly, so to me its between the Memo10 and Nexus10.
Nexus 10 has an advantage in processor, double the memory, and being a Nexus product I prefer the software, not to mention the updates. The Memo10 will hardware that doesn't match up but still capable at $100 less and an SD card slot which I so wish the Nexus had. In fact if the Nexus had an SD card slot I'd say its an easy decision and would have one already. Last edited by mgftp; 03-03-2013 at 07:50 AM.. |
I've been using this with the dock since it came out last summer. It is by far my favorite tablet to use and enjoy it for a few reasons. While it can handle whatever I throw at it and is pretty reliable (as reliable as any tablet I've used), the keyboard dock is what sets it apart. The extra battery life is nice, but the more important part is that it allows me to productively input content.
Tablets, in my opinion, are primarily content viewing devices. When you add in the keyboard, you can actually create some content. It's not good for Office programs (though I occasionally will use it to view Excel or Word documents), but it is good for typing in basic text and doing emails. I use TouchDown HD and it syncs well with exchange and I can actually get through some emails with it. I also really like having the keyboard for typing in websites and it makes a good stand when lying in bed. It definitely is not a laptop replacement, but the keyboard makes it more functionally like one when when size, weight and battery life are at a premium. The fact that I can use it as a mini "laptop lite" or just use it as a standard tablet with no keyboard is what makes it win out in my mind. I would never expect a device like this, due to its size, to ever come close to replacing a laptop or a desktop, simply because the screen won't ever allow for meaningful work. For lying in bed, though, it's a pretty good little machine. |

I am not into gaming. Need to use tablet for browsing, youtube, reading, gps and stuffs (slickdeals ;-)...). Is it worth to pit extra $ in tf700 or nexus 10? - sent by iPhone App Deals & Steals 3.5.8 - |
See review here: http://www.androidcent If you wanted to spend more to get more I'd go with the Nexus10, for $100 extra you get a much better display, double the RAM, a better processor, and a device which will always get software updates since it's a Nexus device (I also prefer plain Android over any of the manufactures UIs). The one big thing you give up going to the Nexus is an SD card slot, if that's important to you. |
For the iPad vs Android debate which seems to always go on in these threads, I own many Android devices as well as an Ipad. I think it's very simple when you want to compare the two, you simply get more hardware and features for less money with Android - the big advantage to Apple products are they are more user friendly and foolproof which is good for those who are scared of tech.
So I am trying to make a decision between this and the Note 10.1, and leaning towards this one. I like the 32g vs.16gb, the better screen and the better camera.
I do not like the stories about some of the issues with the Asus. I don't want a 400$ tablet that is slow, freezes, or gives me wait/close messages while browsing, so I am trying to figure out if these are just isolated complaints. should I get this one, or is the Note worth giving up the better screen, camera and the extra gig? I am not planning on using a keyboard or pen.. |

If any football game had a chance to become in the Olympics it would be Rugby Union - it's a bit more international than American Football ( though not as international as other games if that makes sense)
However, like everyone already mentioned, American football isn't mainstream outside America. Heck I don't even now what they hell is going on expect, I know I used to always wonder why they need so much padding on (in comparsion to Aussie football XD).
There is no harm in trying to make it international though

TO: Superintendents of Schools (please forward to Assistant Superintendents, Curriculum Coordinators, and Principals)
FROM: Susan A. Gendron, Commissioner of Education
DATE: October 8, 2003
RE: Guidelines for the Implementation of K-12 Career Preparation Education, Modern
and Classical Languages, and Visual and Performing Arts
Title 20-A MRSA, Chapter 222: Standards and Assessment of Student Performance specifies that each school administrative unit shall address in its Comprehensive Education Plan (CEP) how it will implement Career Preparation, Modern and Classical Languages, and Visual and Performing Arts for all students, including interim targets for partial implementation. As stated recently in Informational Letter No. 23 (Timelines for Chapter 127 and Essential Programs and Services), full implementation of these three content areas and their inclusion in a unit's local assessment system are linked to full implementation of Essential Programs and Services (EPS) funding. Once the result of this November's referendum is known, the precise timelines for these three areas will be resolved and announced to the field. In anticipation of that announcement, I encourage you to begin an implementation process in 2003-2004.
To assist you in this endeavor, the Department has developed Guidelines for Implementation in each of these three content areas. The Guidelines include introductory sections on purpose, rationale, and plan development and certification, as well as a nine-step planning and implementation process. The Guidelines are available on the Department's Comprehensive Education Plan (CEP) website:
For further assistance, please contact the following people at the Department.

GRP has also launched a Community Service Registration facility for passengers on trains
If you face any problem at Central Railway Station or the Egmore Railway Station or even while on a moving train, just call the Government Railway Police (GRP) helpline 9662500500 or the Railway Protection Force (RPF) helpline 900316170.
On Monday, the GRP and RPF came together to launch the helpline called as 'Kaakum karangal' or 'Protecting hands'. The two agencies have formed special teams to help railway passengers.
The RPF and GRP have divided Chennai Central Station into six sectors and the Egmore Railway Station into three sectors and 24 policemen will be deployed in Chennai Central and 18 in Egmore, all of whom will be armed, said S.R. Gandhi, Senior Divisional Security Commissioner, RPF.
In case passengers face problems such as harassment or chain snatching, they can call either of the two helplines.
The person at the call centre will alert the respective team through Very High frequency (VHF) walkie-talkies.
"We have set the reaction time as two minutes or earlier as any delay can endanger the commuter," said V. Ponramu, deputy superintendent of police, GRP, Chennai Central.
Pilot project
He said that the helpline is a pilot project and that "the RPF and GRP in other districts may also try to emulate our model if it is successful."
Apart from the helpline, the GRP has also launched a Community Service Registration (CSR) facility in the trains.
"If there is some problem for any passenger on a train, he call our helpline and our personnel on the train will register a CSR and give the receipt on the spot," said Ponramu.
The facility was inaugurated one week back and they have received nearly seven complaints.
"Most of them are petty cases including cell phone missing complaints," said Ponramu.

Speeding up Knowledge Development
QbD and Downstream Process Design
Along the way, four critical aspects of the downstream development process must be addressed: 1. development of process and product understanding (risk assessment, experimentation method development, defining the design space) 2. development of the process control (process control strategy, change control strategy) 3. regulatory filing and approval 4. continuous improvement.
The development of appropriate measurement systems is central to the QbD building blocks. Measurement can be thought of as part of the process modeling work shown in Figure 2, which cannot be done effectively without good inputs. QbD clearly is more than just creating the design space.
Process Understanding: How Do We Know When We Have Sufficient Data?
A commonly asked question is, "How much data?" It can't be said early on whether QbD will require more or fewer data; the answer is situational and depends on the approach currently being used. In the early stages of QbD implementation, you will likely collect more data than needed. Also, regulatory agencies are reviewing QbD approaches and will become more comfortable with data collected in ways different than in past filings. Over time, the amount of data required will decrease as we learn how to effectively target the most critical data. The FDA, and indeed good science, stress that to produce quality products on a sustainable basis, you need to understand your process. Process understanding exists when you can accurately predict the performance of your process. This leads to the conclusion that there are sufficient data when performance can be accurately predicted. The required accuracy (quality) and precision of the prediction vary over the life of the development process; it is higher at the end of development than at the beginning.

High gas prices and thin profit margins have owners of small Gas stations feeling the squeeze. More than 3 thousand gas stations around the country have closed-down during the past year. Meanwhile, big supermarket chains are stepping in, offering deep discounts on gas to customers.
Rosemary Mezree and her husband Mohamed coordinate their work schedules to get gas at their local Stop and Shop. They fill their tanks together in order to use the store's new reward program more efficiently.
Rosemary says she and her husband see considerable savings every time they fill their tanks.
"I spent $62.61 and $45.94. I got a discount of 35 cents off per gallon. That's a significant savings."
Robert Keene, a spokesperson for Stop and Shop, says the program is simple.
"You simply use your Stop and Shop card while buying your groceries, and for every $50 dollars you purchase, you save 10 cents each gallon off the price of gas."
The more money customers spend, the more points they get on their Stop and Shop card, and the more discounts they get on gas. Other grocery stores such as Price Chopper and Shaws, along with Discount retailers BJ's and Costco, are also offering gas discounts to their customers.
Peter Goia of the Connecticut Business and Industry Association says the reward program is a smart ploy by the Supermarkets to build greater customer affinity.
"They realize that the people are upset about gas prices, and they're upset about food prices. They sell both. How do they get them to not be upset in their shopping experience, well they give them something that seems to be a bonus."
Goia says in-chain stores offering gas discounts might have a slight impact on gas stations in surrounding areas, but Michael J. Fox from the Connecticut Automobile and Gasoline Dealers Association disagrees.
He says huge manufactures are able to offer these big discounts, and that's been driving small retailers out of the gasoline business.
Fox says consumers are also driving out of state, to New Jersey and Massachusetts, which have lower gas taxes.
Stop and Shop operates 50 gas Stations in New England. Officials say it's too early to gage the economic impact the program, however they say the feedback from customers is positive.Â

The Cobblers will take a slender lead to Cheltenham for the play-off semi-final 2nd leg
Roy O'Donovan netted the crucial goal on 26 minutes after good work by Chris Hackett, a thorn in Cheltenham's side throughout the game.
Aidy Boothroyd's only worry may be that his side failed to add a second goal on a night when they were well on top of their opponents.
Bayo Akinfenwa and Luke Guttridge had chances to stretch the Cobblers advantage but they will travel to Cheltenham on Sunday evening in confident mood.
6,563 watched the action at Sixfields.
More to come on Cobblers Mad.

Harewood impresses O'Neill
22 Feb 2008 - 08:23:11
Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill has praised the attitude and commitment of back-up striker Marlon Harewood.
The 28-year-old has started just two games for Villa since his arrival from West Ham United, but has contributed well from the substitutes bench, much to O'Neill's pleasure.
He said: "One of the things that made the decision to allow Luke Moore to leave for West Brom a wee bit easier has been the performances of Marlon Harewood.
"He has still not started a Premier League game for us, but has had a major impact in matches coming off the bench.
"That is great for Marlon and he feels much more part of it than ever before, which is really terrific.
"When he was not involved much in terms of playing, he just got his head down and worked hard to try and make an impression and he is getting his reward now.
"I thought he rejuvenated us against Newcastle in the second half. He has made a big impact in recent times, starting at Liverpool and he is thinking to himself 'I'll get the start soon'.
"He was ready for it against Newcastle. I thought he was great and caused them a lot of problems alongside John Carew, but was also prepared to drop back when we were protecting the lead."

In the beginning, there was only a void.
A vast, empty void in which no life could possibly thrive.
But then life DID thrive.
From absolutely nowhere and for no reason at all, cavemen emerged from puddles of goo and proceeded to populate the Earth. But having just emerged from said goo, they were without direction, thought, or purpose. For around eighty billion years, the cavemen did absolutely nothing except fight dinosaurs with rocks, poke things with rocks, and star in animated sitcoms where everything was made out of rocks.
But one day, a lone cavemen, while etching on one rock with another rock, discovered something incredible. Having tried to draw a random stick figure too quickly, he broke the rock upon which he was sketching! Underneath it, he found a giant, unbelievable stone... a stone which glowed in the glorious colors of red, white, and blue! A stone which bore thirteen stripes, a grand, blue field, and fifty magnificent stars!
The caveman ran back to his village, carrying the stone high above his head and proclaiming its infinite wonder to all his villagers! His friends and kinfolk gathered around, and within moments, the intense radiation from the stone caused all of the cavemen in the area to evolve at an extremely rapid pace, thus turning them into the X-Men! Using their incredible eye lasers, weather powers, and various other destructive skills, these brave souls transformed the land from a barren, uninhabitable land to a lush, glorious paradise filled with fast cars, delicious beer, hot chicks in bikinis, and hot chicks in bikinis drinking delicious beer while sitting atop fast cars!
And thus was born...
For the next thousand years or so after Americas creation, absolutely nothing happened. But then, as the era of ancient history drew to a close, the Egyptians began to panic. They realized that since they were getting so close to the point in time where BC years would end, they had to adopt radical changes to advance their amazing stones-on-top-of-stones technology! To this end, the many Pharaohs and Pharaohesses of Egypt invented the worst evil the world had ever seen...
Touting equality for all peoples in life and death, the Egyptian Commies decided that all people should be tossed into circular tombs so that no one would feel bad about having a pointier grave than anyone else. However, because they couldnt figure out how to make a dome out of square blocks, they decided to make pyramids instead. Once they decided to make pyramids, then Egyptian Make Big Spiky Things To Put Dead People In project commenced... or at least, it WOULD have if all the Egyptian Commies didnt INSIST on wasting all their work time filling up the blocks with their crappy drawings of birds, faces, and squiggly lines! To complete their project, they had to seek outside help... and because no one in the world wanted to help a bunch of dirty Commies, they decided to FORCE others to help.
Thus, under the rule of the Evil Pharaoh Tutenhitlerstalin IV, Egpyt conquered the entire world.
But their rule would not last, for they failed to note the incredible power of Eastern America, which was ruled by Alexander the Great, who ALSO ruled the entire world! With the help of his best friend, Genghis Khan, who ruled the world in addition to Alexander the Great and Tutenhitlerstalin, Eastern America and the rest of the world proceeded to beat Egypt back into its own pointy tombs! With the evil Commie Egyptians destroyed, the enslaved peoples returned to their homelands. The Italians were of primary note, as they returned to Europe and formed the Roman Empire, which eventually came to rule the world.
After the Roman Empire exploded due to one emperors cruddy fiddle-playing, a bunch of people got together and said Hey, you know what would be fun? The Middle Ages! And thus the Middle Ages began, and everyone wore puffy shirts with gigantic collars, and all of Europe began to talk really, really funny. In addition, at around 600 AD, a meteor struck Europe and caused everyone in the world to forget how to read and bathe! Thus, without baths to clean themselves or written instructions on how to cure their amnesia, most of Europe died to the Bubonic Plague.
Spain, however, was safe, due to the large number of Spanish Americans who had been living there ever since Indians kicked them out of America after Americans had kicked them out of India for being dirty Commies.
Having been trapped in a cheap Mexico knockoff for years, the Spanish Americans finally got a chance to escape in 1492, when Christopher Columbus built the Mayflower to return them all to their native land! Now, in this period of time, the Earth was entirely flat due to an evil Communist plot to force all points on Earth to have the same level of elevation. So, during the voyage to America, Christopher Columbus turned into the Incredible Hulk and bent the Earth back the shape of a sphere! Thanks to his brave acts, Columbus allowed the world to rotate around the sun once more, thereby allowing days, months, and years to be invented! To commemorate our planets glorious shape and its effects, we now mark all important dates on the calendar with a bright, perfect circle!
Upon landing in America, Columbus and his friendly Pilgrim allies met with the Indians, who got so incredibly scared at the sight of them that they welcomed the Americans with open arms! With the help of Squanto, an Indian who had used his amazing telepathy to learn how to speak English, the Indians invited the Americans to a Thanksgiving party, in which they would all consume vast quantities of maize, which is Indian for Sam Adams Beer!
A few years later, England decided that they wanted to wreck Americas fun! So they sent over armies of men to distract the American people with their powdered wigs, shiny belt buckles, and powdered wigs' shiny belt buckles! After gaining the trust of the Americans, they tried to stage a hostile takeover of our great nation by forcing us all to drink our tea without any ice in it! To counter the British invasion, we elected George Washington to be our first President and General, and he promptly proceeded to enact Operation: Kick Englands Pasty White Tush!
To begin the operation, George Washington decided to hit England where it hurt the most: in the tea! Using advanced disguise technology borrowed from the Indians, several Americans snuck onto an English tea ship and dumped all the tea into the ocean while the guards were asleep from drinking too much tea! Finally, just to show the English just how much Americans loved ice in their tea, George Washington used his wooden teeth to break off a chunk of the polar ice cap, then dumped the ice into the harbor, thus creating the worlds largest supply of iced tea! Afterwards, there was a lot of Polar Ice Cap left, so George Washington picked up the spare ice, dragged it to the north end of the continent, and set it down there, where it would later be inhabited by beavers and mooses to form Canada!
With the British sent home crying after their painful loss of tea, the Americans were able to turn their attention to a bigger threat: COMMIES. Much to the dismay of the glorious nation, there were hordes of Commies right at their doorstep in the form of the Indians, who had decided to betray the capitalist state during the long revolution! Because they didnt want their homeland to be taken over by the native Indians, the Americans swept across the nation, gallantly wiping out Commie civilization wherever it stood, all thanks to the brave efforts of noble souls such as Buffalo Bill, Jesse James, Davie Crocket, Boo Radley, and Captain Planet!
Many ages later, America had firmly secured its position as the greatest nation EVER, not only on the Earth, but in the entire dang universe! The entire world looked up to America, and everyone loved us! But then a bunch of Germans decided to be jerks and make lots of people hate us, and thus was begun World War I, thus named because we knew that Germany would decide to ruin everyones fun again some other time in the future.
Once America invaded Germany, we proceeded to demolish all their troops effortlessly. Since Thomas Edison and Benjamin Franklin had recently invented electricity, our soldiers were able to watch MSNBC to carefully track all enemy movements. As they marched on Berlin, the American soldiers became angered as they watched the Germans commit horrible atrocities, such as taking credit for our delicious Sam Adams Beer! After reaching the German capitol, World War I finally ended when our American ninjas killed Hitler with their missile swords, which stabbed him, then blew him to smithereens!
The peace did not last, however! Shortly after WWI ended, the Commies decided to start World War II by resurrecting Hitler as a zombie and using him to control an entire army of Evil Communist Nazi Sam Adams Beer Zombies! With the new, burgeoning zombie army afoot, the Germans decided to form a Commie alliance, banding together all the Communist nations to form one Super Incredible Unstoppable Axis of Doom! The Germans strategically garnered support from many nations: The Chinese for their super-fast take-out, the Italians for their sausage, and the Japanese for their awesome, dancing robots. With the combined support of the nations, Zombie Hitler assembled his forces and amassed them all on the flying island fortress nation of Japan.
The Americans, sensing the imminent threat, immediately sent their best soldiers, ninjas, missiles, and laser beams to Japan to defeat the Commie alliance! The Super Incredible Unstoppable Axis of Doom also countered with its greatest generals, including Zombie Hitler, Cyborg Mussolini, Sun Tzu, Dr. Doom! As the Americans flew towards the island fortress, the Japanese tried to trick us into thinking there werent Communists... but they gave themselves away when they sent their COMMIEkaze soldiers after us! Though this surprise attack might have worked, but as it turns out, their pilots were too busy watching crappy cartoons about androgynous teenage boys to learn how to fly their planes, and thus crashed all of them into the water! Finally, the war came to an end when Superman, Captain America, and Robocop destroyed Zombie Hitler and the reactors that were allowing Japan to float in the air! By carefully using missiles and bombs, the Americans were able to guide Japans descent into the ocean near Hawaii, where all of the Commies upon it were destroyed, and where we could keep a better eye on it from that point forward!
But even with all these major Commie powers down, there remained one final stronghold... RUSSIA. The cowardly Russians tried to trick us into thinking they werent Commies during WWII with such despicable tactics as fighting the same enemies as us and supplying us with aid in the war effort. But not to be fooled, we Americans launched the only war they would understand... a Cold War! Our mission during this time period was simply to prove that we could do everything better than Commies could, including freezing to death!
And once our top hikers had climbed Mount Everest, we proved we HAD survived the coldest temperatures on Earth! With nowhere else to turn, the Commies decided that in order to top us, theyd have to go OUTSIDE Earth, and all the way to the moon! Not to be outdone, FDR promptly invented NASA and ordered them to build an awesome rocket to take people to the moon. And, as chronicled in the movie Apollo 13, they succeeded with absolutely no cost to the American people when they figured out that they could stretch Neil Armstrongs arms all the way to the moon, thus securing Americas property on the moon and creating the inspiration for the Stretch Armstrong toy simultaneously!
With their hopes of reaching the moon crushed, all the Communists in Russia cried so hard that the entire nation was flooded! Once their surrounding allies heard about what crybabies the Russians were, they all decided to leave the pathetic entity known as the USSR (United Sissy Sasquatch Russianskis). With the Sissy Union broken, America had finally secured its victory and destroyed Communism forever!
But then Korea became Communist, but we kicked their butts and destroyed Communism forever again!
But then Vietnam became Communist, and we kicked their butts and destroyed Communism forever again again!
But then Iraq became Communist, and were currently in the process of kicking their butts in order to destroy Communism forever for real this time!
Because were America,</b> and we NEVER lose a battle! Some people may say weve lost battles, but history is the judge of all... and our history books dont show any lost battles, so we must not have lost any! We are AMERICA! We are those who keep peace in the world, whether you like it or not!
And rest assured, if you ever do ANYTHING wrong, well tell you and promptly correct you! Because we love helping people, even when they dont think they need help. Were altruistic like that. And most importantly, remember that if youre ever in need of anything, especially if you suspect someone in your government is corrupt... just tell your problems to the nearest wall, phone booth, flowerpot, or mirror.
Well hear you.
Because were...

We don't meet any norms of normal, we don't adhere to the perfection we should, and we don't have the right to judge someone else, purely because we ourselves are incompetent, and aren't confident in who we are.

One of my favorite stock lists is the S&P's Dividend Aristocrats and the S&P High-Yield dividend aristocrats. These lists contain companies which have consistently increased their dividends over the past 25 years, which is a big achievement. These companies have gone through several up and down economic cycles and shown superiority of rewarding their shareholders with increasing payments through dividend growth.
The dividend aristocrats have averaged annual total returns of 12.93% per year since 1989, beating the S&P 500 total return of 11.66% by 1.3 annually. The dividend aristocrats outperformed S&P 500 in 9 out of the 18 years in this study. Investors in the dividend aristocrats suffered almost no losses during the 2000-2002 bear market; whereas the S&P 500 lost half of its value over the same period. While an 18 year period might not be representative of future performance, and future results might be very different, I still like the stocks in the list for their passive income generation potential which is a function of their ability to generate positive dividend growth. I believe that good dividend paying stocks are the only way out there to truly generate passive income streams without any significant amount of work in the future to sustain it. The only catch that involves a lot of work is selecting the stocks that would generate the future income. I think that this list gives you good solid value plays, which have sound fundamentals. Only a company with strong financials can afford to have positive dividend growth over time.
Academic research indicates that a simple buy and hold of an S&P 500 mutual fund outperforms almost any other strategy in the long run. I think though, that on average most baskets of US stocks, which show good diversification and hold at least 30 companies would produce annual returns which are very close to the S&P 500. With only 390 companies paying any dividends to their shareholders, still down from 402 in 1999, and sluggish long-term dividend growth in recent years, it seems to me that investors in the broad benchmark are still relying mainly on capital gains for their long-term performance. They seem to be forgetting that the market, although very rare, could fall for two or more years in a row, or trade in a range for 13 years, just like it did from 1966-1979. Any returns that were generated during that period were primarily due to reinvested stock dividends. Fundamentally speaking dividend paying stocks paying decent dividend yields could produce decent returns in bear markets, flat markets and even bull markets.

Dividend Guy,
Is there a Lo cost ETF or CEF or Mutual fund for equivalent Dividend Aristocrats Index ? any Symbol ? Anonymous,
Unfortunately the only way to track the dividend aristocrats is buy buying all of them and rebalancing once an year to account for changes in the index.
You might want to check out SDY, which is an ETF which tracks the high yield dividend aristocrats. One think that I don't like about SDY is that it's holdings are weighted off of their yield. This led to overweighting of the financial secotr and the massive underperformance of SDY.I love your blog. Keep up the good work! Since I'm newer to investing, I'm still in the learning/research phase, and am learning a lot from you.
I'm wondering how would I find a published list of companies that constitute S&P divident aristocrats, and also the high-yield version? I poked around on their website, but could find an actual list. Thank you!Observer,
Check these out.

This is great info! It confirms what I am trying to do and gives me some great ideas.
I was burned by putting too much trust in "financial advisors" and now I've taken matters into my own hands. This information is VERY helpful.
Keep up the good work.

The MOF has recently approved the opening of three offices by KPMG Huazhen (Special General Partnership) in Chengdu, Xiamen and Qingdao. Localisation has been one of the basic strategies of KPMG China's operations.
The award recognises a select number of leading professional firms and advisers that have performed to exceptional levels, even during the most difficult period that the global economy has experienced for decades.
This report analyses issues and questions arising from the mixed ownership reform. These include which sectors are to be opened, what type of non-public capital should be introduced, what are the implementation procedures, etc.
This guide reflects IFRSs in issue at 1 December 2014 that are required to be applied by an entity with an annual period beginning on 1 January 2014.
The content is based on the responses of 213 senior business decision-makers across five key countries: Australia, China, Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore. It analyses the state of D&A maturity across the Asia-Pacific region.
It reports KPMG's latest research and insights, client events, news and firm-wide developments.
China's legislature, the National People's Congress, endorsed the country's 12th Five-Year Plan on 14 March 2011. This far-reaching plan sets the nation's course for the next five years: the social and economic measures contained in the plan will have a deep impact on the business landscape, both within China and in countries that do business with China.
Three of the main priorities in this plan are sustainable growth, industrial upgrading and the promotion of domestic consumption. These priorities explain why certain sectors, including energy, automotive, IT infrastructure and biotechnology also receive a high degree of focus.
This dedicated web page provides more insights on the implications for business and developments in particular sectors stemming from China's new programme of social and economic development.
