Why Richmont Mines (RIC) Stock Is Gaining Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Richmont Mines
(RIC - Get Report) are up 3.62% to $1.34 after it reported a 107% year on year increase in second quarter gold production to 29,091 ounces.
Richmont is also revising its 2014 production guidance upward to 75,000 to 85,000 ounces of gold from its previous guidance of 70,000 to 80,000 ounces.

TheStreet Ratings team rates RICHMONT MINES INC as a Sell with a ratings score of D. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate RICHMONT MINES INC (RIC) a SELL. This is driven by a number of negative factors, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its disappointing return on equity, poor profit margins and generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- 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 Metals & Mining industry and the overall market, RICHMONT MINES INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for RICHMONT MINES INC is rather low; currently it is at 18.99%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of -6.45% is significantly below that of the industry average.
- RIC has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, declining 8.58% from its price level of one year ago. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time.
- The company, on the basis of net income growth from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed compared to the Metals & Mining industry average, but is greater than that of the S&P 500. The net income increased by 15.0% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from -$2.24 million to -$1.90 million.
- RICHMONT MINES INC has improved earnings per share by 16.7% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has not demonstrated a clear trend in earnings over the past 2 years, making it difficult to accurately predict earnings for the coming year. During the past fiscal year, RICHMONT MINES INC reported poor results of -$0.84 versus -$0.09 in the prior year.

Malloy Vows To "Build A Better Bus System"
by Paul Bass | Sep 4, 2014 6:48 am
(7) Comments | Commenting has been closed | E-mail the Author
Posted to: Politics, Transportation, Campaign 2014, CT Bus Diaries
Dan Malloy has said "yes" to New Haven a lot for the past four years. Now he's asking for a big "yes" in return—and promising to turn his attention to improving the city's beleaguered bus service.
The "yes" Malloy is seeking: Another overwhelming vote in his favor when he comes up for reelection as governor on Nov. 4.
In an interview about his urban policy over coffee Tuesday at Woodland Cafe in Sherman Alley, Malloy pointed to increased money for schools, the state's role in convincing Alexion Pharmaceuticals to build a 13-story office tower downtown, and the decline in street violence as reasons he feels he has earned the city's vote a second time in his rematch against Republican Tom Foley.
"New Haven," he said, "has a great future."
Malloy got the job in large part thanks to New Haven: More voters here said "yes" to him in his first campaign, in 2010, than anywhere else in Connecticut. Democrat Malloy beat Republican Tom Foley 22,298 to 3,685 votes in New Haven, an 18,613-vote plurality; Malloy won the statewide election by a mere 6,404 votes.
Since then, Malloy has been visiting the city so often he practically qualifies for an Elm City Resident Card. On some of those visits he has been delivering on requests for help from New Haven's leadership, from ending the state's death penalty to sending a $1 million planning grant for a new Dixwell Community "Q" House (with much more expected from his administration before the election to actually build it). (City Democratic leader Vincent Mauro Jr. has vowed to up Malloy's New Haven plurality this election to 20,000.)
Malloy said in Tuesday's interview, which followed a campaign event at the Omni Hotel with former President Bill Clinton, that he will continue supporting such projects. The Harp administration is hoping he'll come through with up to $20 million in bonding, for instance, to rebuild the roads around the old Coliseum site so that a developer will proceed with a busy new $395 million new-urbanist mini-city of apartments, stores, offices, a hotel and a public plaza. Malloy said Tuesday that he supports the general concept of the project. He didn't commit to delivering the money until discussions are complete on the details. "Everything is moving in the right direction," he said. "We're getting answers to the questions OPM [the Office of Policy and Management] is asking." Those questions have focused in part on ensuring that the private financing is solid enough to ensure the project is built, he said: "I'm not looking to own infrastructure. I'm looking to be a catalyst" to getting projects built.
The governor said he has helped cities the most by improving schools and helping to cut crime and to create jobs. State aid to the city for education rose 8.5 percent, or another $12 million, this past year, he said. Graduation rates have climbed steadily, 8.9 percent, for four years along with Advanced Placement scores. Unemployment has steadily dropped, meanwhile, and the governor signed a raise in the hourly minimum wage to $10.10 by 2017. The number of shootings and homicides has dropped steadily in New Haven, and in cities statewide, over the past four years; as part of that effort Malloy's administration worked with the feds and New Haven Police Chief Dean Esserman (who was the Stamford police chief when Malloy was that city's mayor) to launch an anti-gang violence initiative called Project Longevity.
An Education On Education
At times Malloy has encountered jeers in New Haven (like this time teachers booed him in 2012), in part for remarks he now regrets. He said he learned from those experiences. He said he should never have said that teachers can get tenure by just "showing up," for instance: "That was the wrong choice of words. That wasn't directed at the teachers. It was directed at the system."
He drew a protest this year from some members of his New Haven Democratic activist base when he turned down a federal request to house large numbers of immigrant children seized at the border; Malloy said he should have better explained that he did believe in welcoming the children, but that rather than "warehousing" them in institutions, he wanted to find them placements in homes, often with relatives. He said his administration has since done that with more than 400 of the children.
Malloy's support for charter schools endeared him to the New Haven-based Achievement First network and its supporters. But that support backfired when a proposal for a new charter school in New Haven, Booker T. Washington Academy, got delayed by a scandal involving its original Hartford-based partner, called FUSE. In the wake of that episode Malloy's education department vowed to vet and regulate charter operators more closely. (The video shows him addressing the question with the Independent during a recent New Haven visit.)
But Malloy also stressed Tuesday that cases of misconduct occur at all kinds of schools: A Hartford public-school bus driver was just arrested on DUI charges, for instance. Another community's superintendent was caught embezzling. He characterized the FUSE episode as that kind of isolated case, not a reflection on charter schools.
More broadly, some teachers have remained wary of Malloy's education reform efforts. (Read about that here.) Malloy responded in part with the early announcement that New Havener Stefan Pryor will not serve a second term as education commissioner if Malloy is reelected.
Malloy was asked Tuesday if he will seek to hire another New Havener, current schools Superintendent Garth Harries, for the job if reelected. He responded he had approached Harries about the job the first time around.
"Garth's a great guy," Malloy said. "My read is he is committed to a period of time in New Haven. I don't imagine Garth will be [available]." Asked again if he'll offer the job to Harries, Malloy repeated, "I'm very fond of him." [Told about Malloy's remarks Tuesday, Harries said: "I'm honored that my name would even be discussed. But I do feel excited and committed to the work we're doing in New Haven. I hope that will continue to point the direction for the state and the country."]
A Bus Vow
On one problem that has only worsened during Malloy's administration—the state of the CT Transit bus system in New Haven—the governor said he didn't realize that a problem existed.
"If it's a problem," he said, "we should address it."
Upon taking office this January, Mayor Toni Harp declared the need to upgrade public transit a "civil-rights issues" since the system is heavily used by lower-income riders and people of color. Commuters and others with access to other forms of transportation tend to avoid relying on buses that run sporadically, especially after 6 p.m. and on weekends. Because the system relies on a hub-and-spoke system, a one or two-mile trip can sometimes take an hour; commuters to or from suburban jobs sometimes can't make connections off-peak. The Harp administration is seeking for starters to have CT Transit buses equipped with GPS systems so riders can keep track of real-time schedules.
"I believe buses should run later. I believe that they should match the actual travel patterns of individuals," Malloy said. (Click on the video at the top of the story to watch more of the conversation on the subject.)
"Buses are a less expensive alternative on the transportation front," he declared. "Connecticut has got to get over itself and build a better bus system," Malloy declared.
He said he has directed his transit chief, James Redeker, to carry out that vision. In a visit to New Haven earlier this year, Redeker in fact called CT Transit a "wonderful" and "convenient" system that's working well for most people.

"He said he should never have said that teachers can get tenure by just 'showing up,' for instance: 'That was the wrong choice of words. That wasn't directed at the teachers. It was directed at the system.' "
Hmmm. This isn't a strong enough refutation of that infamous quote to get me to vote for Malloy this November. It sounds like he's still saying that teachers just have to show up, it's just not their fault that the system is (was) set up that way.
And before everybody reminds me that Foley isn't a better choice and Pelto isn't on the ballot, remember that I can cast a ballot without voting for governor.

Santa Claus and Check Your Claims Notes:
1. Malloy continues his parade across the state attempting to bribe or buy votes with mountains of taxpayer money for dubious projects - Q-House; the courthouse somewhere else; the "new civil right" of our day - buses; mountains of money in Newtown; a new train station in Bridgeport nobody knew about. I'll be glad for the election - win or lose, the flow of stupid spending will finally ebb.
2. Malloy should check his facts before claiming to be the savior of education, the deliverer of better crime stats and the creator of private sector jobs.
3. The Hartford Courant reports today that out of 169 towns and cities, New Haven has the highest crime rate in the land - by far. On education, ConnCan reported recently that nearly half of all New Haven public schools got a "C" or worse on its report card when measured against state standards. A dozen or so schools were actually failing as a final grade and failing on multiple line items. The graduation rate may be minimally higher but colleges are reporting greater need in remedial help for incoming freshmen which makes one wonder about the quality of education even for those who graduate. And finally, governors and certainly Malloy, do not ever, never create private sector jobs. They can however, create a positive economic environment in which those jobs can grow - and on that front, CT not only lags the national employment/unemployment recovery but is ranked almost last in the nation for business climate. Thank god for NJ and NY.

The fact that public transportation is still a debatable political issue in the State of CT is a reflection of how far behind we are as a State. Glad that its on the agenda but sad that it has to be.

So, Malloy hasn't said "yes" to fixing the streets to allow the Coliseum development to proceed. He did say "yes," quite explicitly, while standing and speaking in New Haven, to building the new train station garage, but that turned out to be a lie. (He promised to quickly issue a request for proposals, but never did it.)
In regards to the Coliseum site, what does he mean when he says "I'm not looking to own infrastructure. I'm looking to be a catalyst"? No one is asking the state to do anything other than what it routinely does for many suburban developments, which is simply to fix the roads so that development can proceed. I don't even get the focus on the financing of this exact proposal—for the entire broad area of town to function, Orange Street has to be fixed regardless of what exact projects are eventually built.
As with the train station garage, the vague delays can be extended forever. In the case of the Coliseum site, at some point the next recession will hit and the project will die. That is what happened with the planned redevelopment of Church Street South. Delay pushed us into the recession, and the project lost funding. Any redevelopment there is now many years into the future, if ever.
The Coliseum site is the most important development project in the city. The actual project is fully privately funded. The state support, for transportation fixes, is obviously appropriate. Malloy wants our enthusiastic support; maybe he should support us first.

The only people making a political game out of transportation are the ones trying to benefit from creating an issue that doesn't really exist. The "new" civil right as defined by whom? Who says it is? Who has trouble getting to a job that doesn't exist? Urban unemployment among minorities is over 20% - it's not because they can't get to a job. It's that there is a lack of skills and a lack of jobs. CT is behind other states? In what way?
posted by: TheMadcap on September 4, 2014 5:04pm
The main issue with the Coliseum site is the price tag. It's more than just fixing up some roads, it's moving entire roads as well as sewage pipes if I recall. Either way the state is being asked to pony up $30 million

Happy to respond if you repost under your first and last. Some clarification would help as well. I'm not sure I follow what seems like a digression.

Namibia Extreme Incentive 2015
Come Meet Your Boxing Champs
29 November 2014
A great day,"show stopper"if I may call it, a fun day for the entire family.
The event was filled with a lot of exciting events including Bikers showcasing their skills, Hot Rods Cars(Show & Shine), Jumping Castles for the Kids.
Legendary Boxing Camps who were present were Dingaan Thobela, Dannie Knoetze, and Hall of Famer Brian Mitchell.
Current Champs Ryno Libenberg, Hekkie Budler and Jonny Muller were also present.
In the aid to uplift amateur boxing the Westrand Boxing Clubs were also invited for a prize giving ceremony.
Most importantly the Chesanyama's Boxing Champs were very friendly and always interacting with Fans autographing T-shirts, posing for photos.
Shadow boxing and skipping in the ring which was erected in the middle of the street left fans who came pouring in their numbers in disbelief,hence we had to Close the Road.
Although this was the last one of the Roadshows for 2014, watch this space as Chesanyama has a lot of exciting events coming in 2015.
Muller Takes Lerena To School
15 November 2014
In a cracking undercard bout, Kevin Lerena and Johnny Muller traded in spectacular fashion in a bruising 10-rounder that saw Muller end Lerena's unbeaten run.
SA boxing has been crying out for such a fight and the pair duly delivered in a wildly entertaining bout that was surprising given that there wasn't a single knockdown. The two took turns rocking each other with big shots, but it was Muller who was more patient, accurate and busy.
He kept Lerena honest with an excellent two-handed attack. It wouldn't be Muller if he didn't eat a few punches along the way, but he held his nerve to end strongly.
The jury had been out on Lerena's chin, but it held firm even when Muller landed cleanly. Lerena never stopped trying and had his moments, but inexperience cost him against an old fox who has never fought better or with more confidence.

The classic Hummingbird now available for Limited a time in a gorgeous Wine Red finish with gold grover tuners!
From a company that has brought the guitar world so many great originals, the Hummingbird stands out strong and proud. Introduced in 1960 as Gibson's first square-shouldered dreadnought, the Hummingbird arrived at the dawn of a new era in music, and was rapidly embraced by several prime movers on the scene. In the hands of everyone from Keith Richards to Gram Parsons, it quickly proved itself equally adept at folk, country and rock, and excelled at many of the crossovers genres in between that helped to set the scene for the '60s.
Much of the Hummingbird's appeal lies in its versatility. However you attack this flat-top, it pumps out rich, deep tones, and is equally at home thrumming out first-position chords as it is taking the spotlight for flatpicking leadlines further up the neck. Its spacious mahogany body and sweet, select Sitka spruce top are more than capable of nailing down the rhythm in the hands of a rock and roll sideman, or of accompanying the most nuanced performance under the fingers of today's alternative singer-songwriter. Made in the image of the original, in Gibson's acclaimed acoustic facility in Bozeman, MT, today's Hummingbird lives up to its pedigree, bringing you all of these capabilities and more as, quite simply, one of the finest acoustic guitars available today.

Police arrested Sukanya (22), on charges of robbing a senior citizen of his ATM card and cash. Police said that Manivannan (70), a resident of Sri Ram Nagar, near Ganapathy Managar, had lost his bag containing bank passbook and ATM card while travelling in a cab on January 19. The driver of the vehicle found the bag and handed it over to his employer, who in turn, called up Manivannan to inform him about the bag.
The taxi driver handed over the bag to his friend, Sukanya of Madukkarai Market telling her that she should hand it over to Mr. Manivannan. The elderly man collected the bag from her, later. At the end of the month, he realised that Rs. 1.34 lakh was missing.
He informed the police, who arrested the woman. She had purchased a chain weighing three-and-half sovereign, two rings and two mobile phones. Police produced her before a court, which remanded her in custody.

The Beaufort Gazette: Marine accidentally shoots friend at party, police say
....around 1 a.m. Saturday sheriff�s deputies were called to 2809 Second St. for a report of a gunshot victim. According to party-goers, just prior to the shooting, Marine Lance Cpl. Patrick King, 21, had been playing with a handgun that he'd brought with him to the party.

Because a 50% win rate is "shredding" solo q amirite?
'cause her skill cap is high-ish, she's naturally tanky and can do some damage with minimal items. There for 1) it's easy to do well against lower skill people at low-mid levels which is where she's dangerous. 2) Later game she can soak a lot of damage. Now for the skill cap part... assume someone follows through 1 and 2 but doesn't realize they need the rest of their team to win the game. Vi loses all forward momentum and crashes, hard, right at the other team's feet. Or she carries her team out. Depends on the player.
GG l AFK
Whenever I picked up Vi I was maining shaco atm (not anymore o-o) she was so easy comparatively.
Junior Member
She is really strong at the moment. She has two gap closes that do damage, she has a passive shield and good burst. She can also get really tanky and still deal tons of damage.
I didn't say Vi has a 60% win rate or anything. Just said I've seen enough strong Vi's on my team and theirs that I'm starting to ban her myself. A gap closer that allows her to get in range to ulti the squishy (which is basically suppression) or can be used as a free flash to escape over a ledge. She's tough to kill, hard to kite, just a really nice package right now. Just personal feelings.
Lead Designer
Vi is quickly becoming the worst-kept secret. The team is going to be touching this next patch
She have the same initiation as Malphite with some of his kit. But people don't notice her yet.

Beck: Well, let me ask you, the Governor leaves for China. But before leaving he got out the veto pen and took a little action this week.
Henderson: Exactly, he vetoed a measure which would have expanded the collective bargaining rights of public sector workers who are members of a union. There was great debate about this at the legislature. We have talked previously on this program about it. And it seemed as if Culver were really struggling with this decision.
He was roundly hailed by Republicans as making the right decision. Democrats, of course, were disappointed. And key unions such as the Iowa State Education Association, that is the union which represents teachers in the state, they are public sector employees in a union, they expressed disappointment.
And the head of the AFSCME union in Iowa, the American Federal of State, County and Municipal Employees union indicated that they would press this issue again in 2009. The other thing that Culver did with his veto pen was he nixed out a provision in the bill which would have given him a 9.7% hike in his salary.
As you may recall, Jeneane, the Governor said in late April that he was likely to sign that. Well, evidently hundreds if not thousands of Iowans contacted the Governor's office either by letter, e-mail or phone call and said hey, how can you do that?
The salary increase for other statewide elected officials like the Ag Secretary, the Secretary of State, the Lieutenant Governor and the Treasurer and Auditor would have been 24% and the Governor yesterday as he briefed the media on his decision making said, I just decided that in the current economic times that's not something that the statewide elected officials should be doing.

The first trip to Florida was for repeated stovepiping, which they fixed by replacing the extractor, springs, and slide assy. Their repair fixed everything for about 10 shots...
It was sent back 2 weeks ago for light strikes, causing repeated and consistent failure to fire... initially I was told that I was shooting crap ammo, and was sent a list of "suggested" ammo to use in it. When I explained that the light strikes were occuring with 3 different brands of ammo, they agreed to look it over one more time...
Just got it back today and found out the trigger was broken! the claim form says: "Broke trigger. Replaced with new trigger assy, added 4th trigger axis assy pin. 18 rounds Blazer FMJ fired w/o fail."
This little gem has been to the range two times. First time resulted in a bad extractor, springs, and slide, all after less than 50 rounds fired. After repair, it fired less than 20 rounds and broke a trigger.
In my book, this POS is trade fodder. Fresh from the factory, new extractor, springs, and slide assy, and new trigger assy with a special 4th trigger axis pin!! Any takers? Supposedly works great with Blazer FMJ!
I was planning to give it to my daughter for her use in CCW and home, any suggestions on a .380 that actually works well? I acquired a Beretta 950BS in 25 acp that works perfectly...but it's a little under-powered for what I'd like her to carry. Thinking hard about a Beretta .32 Tomcat, but no idea if it is as dependable as the older 950BS...but it couldn't be any worse than the Diamondback!

Re: irish tennis
Well i have a lot more respect for them that they are funding it out of their own pockets, hard to believe that they don't get any state sponsorship. I wonder if tennis ireland has approached the lta about getting any wild cards for wimbledon for some of the irish players? Or could we lobby someone on twitter, judy murray or someone like that?

Who are you? I'm not so sure anymore Yet I know who you used to be You were the one who picked me off the ground You were the one I told everything You were the one I laughed with You were the one I cried with You were always there for me And I were there for you But now Who is this girl? She doesn't care at all She turns her head away when I need her She doesn't even listen to me She left me all alone Bleeding From the massive hole her betrayal punched through my chest It's not what you said that hurt me It's that you didn't even care enough to try Try to make me feel better But I guess that tells me who you really are!

Review: 2 PHP tools rise above the rest
You'll find no shortage of heavyweight PHP IDEs, but few are uncluttered, focused, and smooth
The news is now old that investors will be given a chance to trade big piles of cash for a piece of the pile of code known as Facebook.com. Just a short time ago, few of us would have predicted that a pile of PHP would be worth billions of dollars, but clearly we underestimated the power of the platform.
It's not fair to say that Facebook is 100% PHP. Large parts of the data layer were built in Java with the open source Cassandra, and large parts of the UI were built in JavaScript, but the point is still clear. PHP is more than just a language for junior high school kids to learn after they master balancing DIV tags in HTML. It can support enterprise-grade installations and deliver the kind of heavy lifting that brings power plants to their knees.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Review: Fabulous PHP frameworks | First look: Zend's PHP developer cloud | Follow the latest issues in software development with InfoWorld's Developer World newsletter. ]
To get a flavor for the latest in PHP programming, I spent some time unpacking the current set of development tools for PHP -- eight in all. I built some projects, modified some plug-ins for popular content management systems, and experimented with building another pile of PHP that will be worth many billions of dollars if I keep my fingers crossed.
There has been much progress over the years. In the past, I've generally relied upon emacs to create the code. When I needed to watch a variable, I would just print it into a Web page and trace the flow through there. That technique is generally adequate for basic debugging because the traditional job of PHP is to do a bit of basic data manipulation and get out of the way when the database shows up to do the real work.
That's changing. The integrated development environments are proliferating, and more development is moving into the cloud. The integrated tools manage the stacks of code, juggle deployments, catch debugging information, store the code in source repositories, and in some cases even automate deployment to the cloud.
But while the tools are more capable than ever, they often felt overly complex and sometimes even rough around the edges. Some of them seem to be bopping along in a state of neglect. Given the prevalence and maturity of PHP, I was surprised by some of the difficulties I ran into. The good news is, whether you lean toward a heavyweight tool packed with features or a lighter-weight tool that brings some polish, there is an option here for you.
Zend Studio Zend Studio is one of the two major commercial packages built around plug-ins for the Eclipse platform. In theory, you can get many of Zend Studio's features for free with the open source PHP Development Toolkit (PDT), Eclipse plug-ins that are built in part with help from Zend. But I had no success with them. My version of Eclipse (3.7) wouldn't install the current PDT plug-ins because of a long list of conflicts. These could probably be eliminated with some judicious pruning of the code -- something that open source makes possible -- but I lost patience.
Zend's website offers a long checklist of the differences between the PDT plug-ins and Zend Studio, but many of the differences have little to do with PHP development directly. For instance, Zend Studio offers GIT and SVN support, but PDT doesn't. However, anyone using Eclipse can install other plug-ins with these features that work with all languages.
Two of the main features you get for $299 are stability and testing. I had little luck getting the PDT plug-ins to work with my current version of Eclipse or even with a clean version of Eclipse I tried from scratch. Zend Studio, on the other hand, started right up. Zend integrates the plug-ins and removes the roadblocks before distributing everything as one big ball of code. You can use the various tools in Zend Studio separately as plug-ins, but installing the bundle made more sense. In theory, these plug-ins should play nicely together. In practice, it's easier to pay someone to make sure it's true.
Despite all of this, there were still moments when I struggled. While Zend Studio said it could detect the Zend Server, I had to fiddle with several buttons until the application would deploy. There are a number of features for controlling the deployment, and configuration is not as simple as a push of one button. Deployment options include using the local server, deploying to a distant version of Zend Server, or connecting to phpcloud.com, and this flexibility comes with a price.
Zend Studio is one of the more extensive IDEs, including features like a toolbar for Firefox and IE, although the toolbar wouldn't work with the latest version of Firefox that Mozilla automatically shoved into my system. There are buttons to add JavaScript libraries and generally make life a bit easier for AJAX developers. Zend Studio isn't as simple as some of the other IDEs, but it's a thoroughly modern setup packed with features.
PhpStorm PhpStorm is the product of a company that also makes Java IDEs, in this case JetBrains, which may be better known for the highly regarded IntelliJ. JetBrains' PHP tool, however, doesn't come integrated with its Java tool, unlike many of the other IDEs described here. I suppose there might be some developers who are creating hybrid PHP/Java applications and might be disappointed by this, but I don't think there will be many. It's still possible to run both IntelliJ and PhpStorm on the same machine.
PhpStorm exhibits much of the same attention to detail that made IntelliJ popular. I still find IDEs like Eclipse to be a bit arcane, with their complex trees that often hide important jobs in some deep corner of the hierarchy. The folks at JetBrains have done a better job of cleaning up the UI and putting the buttons in places that are simpler to find and understand. All of the coloring and completion are here, but in a simpler form. Not that PhpStorm is simplistic -- for instance, there are six different preintegrated source control options, more than you'll find in the other tools.
Configuration benefits from a number of wizards to assist you in getting everything connected. While the other IDEs offer some fields that either work or don't, PhpStorm takes things a bit further.
phpDesigner To the file system, a PHP project is just a bunch of text. To the programmer, it's a complex stack of abstractions and logistical constructions. While some IDEs treat the code like text files, phpDesigner takes the programmer's view. It offers an elaborate set of templates and editorial menus that help you work with the logistical structure.
NetBeans It's natural to assume that NetBeans is an IDE focused on Java since it was built by Sun. But the NetBeans creators are also distributing a version focused on PHP. It still has plenty of Java-centric tools -- including a profiler that wants to know whether I want to instrument the basic Java classes too -- but there are plenty of other features for the PHP developer, including the standard coloring and code completion.
Komodo IDE ActiveState's Komodo IDE is another editing powerhouse aimed at helping people build and debug not just PHP but Node.js, Python, Perl, TCL, and Ruby. The newest version, 7.0, adds more collaborative editing so that several people can work on the same document at the same time, presumably without doubling the number of bugs being created. There's also a mechanism that uses ActiveState's Stackato platform to deploy your code to the cloud or a local machine.
The editor offers many features for working with the marked-up files, including code highlighting, code suggestions, and code folding. The editors work with all of the HTML and CSS, helping build the final Web view. There's a visual editor that works well.
The debugger includes a number of options for doing more than just stopping. It can count how many times the breakpoints are hit and even execute a bit of code at the breakpoint. This may be the biggest help for tricky problems buried deep in the call stack.
The documentation talks about the "breadth" of the IDE, and PHP sometimes feels a bit lost in the shuffle. PHP seems to be just another language, while Python and Ruby seem to get more attention. There were several places where the documentation was out of sync with the machine, prompting me to scramble to the Web for answers. Komodo also wants to integrate with the local PHP server to handle debugging. I couldn't use just any local version of PHP that might be more helpful.
Aptana Studio Zend Studio is not the only example of a repackaged version of Eclipse. Aptana Studio is also a bundle of plug-ins designed to make it easier to get going and, perhaps, prompt you to adopt the tools of the parent company, Appcelerator. Appcelerator spent a bit more time on the cosmetics, and Aptana Studio starts with a trendy dark grey look.
Aptana seems focused mainly on creating a tool for Python and Rails developers. The menus offer much more extensive options for people using those languages. The PHP options are more like a bit of frosting -- in case the Python or Rails folks need to edit a PHP file. There's a PyDev perspective now and plenty of other commands for other languages, but PHP seems to be receding.
Picking a PHP tool When I was working on this review, Stuart Herbert, a PHP developer, switched to Sublime Text, a more basic text editor, and wrote about the change, extolling the simplicity. In essence, he didn't need all of the extra features from an IDE. He was happier with a smart text editor than a full-fledged collection of tools under one roof.
I often felt the same way when struggling with these tools. While all of them are useful and worth the money to serious PHP developers, they're more than is needed for many basic PHP jobs. If you're writing a bit of glue logic between the database and a smart AJAX client, the extra features of an IDE aren't especially useful. You can often get by with just an editor and using print statements to debug variables.
Part of my problem was that I encountered a surprising amount of chaos. PHP is hardly new, yet I encountered a number of rough edges that really slowed down development. I often had to wade through several versions of the PHP server before I found one that would work with each tool. Only a few of the IDEs seemed to work out of the box. I began to wonder why the developers couldn't just compile PHP into the IDE itself, something they probably didn't want to do because they wanted to integrate with a running server. Many Java IDEs compile and start up servers all within the same process. I've had much better luck starting up Java and Python stacks than getting PHP off the ground.
These problems were all solvable, but I think you need to be working on a bigger PHP project before the overhead of an IDE becomes worth it. The ability to search through all of the files and deploy quickly are more useful when you have a lot of files associated with a complex application.
A couple of the IDEs -- Zend Studio and PhpStorm -- seemed to bear this weight better than the others. Zend Studio, from the creators of PHP, is best for developers already familiar with Eclipse. PhpStorm, a simpler option, is a clean and polished tool that focuses on PHP.
The growth in this area promises to be in cloud deployment systems. There's a big explosion of cloud hosting tools that marry smart servers with load balancers and better instrumentation. More often than not, they lock out the developer and require all new code to be pushed to the server via Git or perhaps Subversion. Some of the most prominent examples are PHP Fog, Cloud Control, Orchestra, and Microsoft's Azure, although the list is growing longer and longer.
It would not be much trouble to add a Web-based editor to these services, and I can see that coming down the road. eXo's Cloud IDE lets you edit PHP files, although you can't really run them easily. You need to push stuff in and out with Git. The service also includes some nice hardwiring to the platform-as-a-service centers such as Heroku, Cloudbees, Cloud Foundry, and OpenShift, though the links aren't as simple as they could be.
For now, the IDEs promise to offer sophisticated development options for people who are creating big stacks of code. When you need to search through multiple files and track sophisticated data structures, the step-by-step debugging provided by an IDE becomes worth the effort to set up and maintain. But as the tools become more tightly integrated with the clouds, I'm looking forward to lighter-weight ways of wrangling the code.

MAC Cosmetics Marilyn Monroe Collection
"Pure platinum Hollywood glamour. Channel the legend's luster & sex appeal in a colour collection distinctively Marilyn. It's everything you need to capture the MM look. Specially designed packaging features imagery from The Black Sitting." -MAC Cosmetics
As a girl who is a huge fan of big lashes and red lipstick, I was really looking forward to the Marilyn Monroe collection that MAC Cosmetics put together. Apparently, me and every other girl who considers herself a fan of makeup! A few days after the release of the collection, everything was sold out in the two stores by me. Luckily, Daneen received some products for me to test out.
First, there was eyeshadow in How To Marry. This is a great, shimmery base shadow – I love to use it when I'm going for big lashes and heavy black eyeliner. I also had a lip liner in Beet, which was a nice creamy shade of reddish pink. I did not have any lipsticks from this collection, so I paired the Beet lip liner with the quintessential matte Russian Red lipstick.
Next, there was an eye kohl in Fascinating (bright white), and Dazzleglass in Little Rock (sheer white with pearl). For effect, I lined my inner lids with the kohl in Fascinating, added mascara to both top and bottom lashes, and added a thick line of MAC eyeshadow in Marvel. I then used the dazzleglass in Little Rock, for a very 60's fresh face with full lashes look. This one was hard to capture on film, as the shimmer is subtle (thank goodness, none of us need to go back to the middle school roll on glitter look) but it looks really fun in person.
Overall, this is a great collection. The pieces I got are great additions to my arsenal, and all of the shades are classic and chic. Keep up the good work, MAC!
MAC Marilyn Monroe Collection
I am so excited about this collection…you don't even know. I mean, what glamour girl doesn't have a girl crush on Marilyn Monroe?

Lipsticks in rapturous reds, gleaming Dazzleglass, a dramatic 35 Lash, False Lashes Extreme Black and Eye Shadows in shimmering metallic and diamond tones provide silver-screen allure. The finishing touch: Nail Lacquers destined to be a girl's best friend and Beauty Powder to evoke that flawless Forever Marilyn.
How to Marry: Soft white (Veluxe Pearl)
Preferred Blonde: Pale champagne beige (Veluxe Pearl)
Silver Screen: True silver (Veluxe Pearl)

Get Red-y
Red lipstick used to really intimidate me. It was something I saw on the runways of New York City, Milan, and Paris; the red carpet; or on Dita Von Teese. I rarely saw anyone attempt this look in real life, which did not help my anxiety!
A few months ago, I instituted a personal beauty rule, to help overcome my fear. This rule is: on Wednesdays, we wear red lipstick. Yes, I was directly inspired by the movie Mean Girls, and their "On Wednesdays we wear pink" rule, and yes, I am totally okay with admitting that. (more…)

Makeup Mondays With Mario: Red Lipstick
Celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic is answering your burning beauty questions!!! Every Monday, he will answer a beauty/skin care question as part of a weekly column on Spoiled Pretty, Makeup Mondays with Mario.
Hi Mario,
I love all the work you do. I really enjoy your "Get the Face" posts on your blog. My question is: What is the best way to apply red lipstick and how do you stop it from bleeding?
There are a few great tips that I can share with you when it comes to applying red lipstick. First, line your lips with a matte pencil that is similar to the lipstick color or darker. Using a triangular shaped sponge, dip it into loose translucent powder and apply it right below the outer corner of the lip line. Don't blend the powder yet as that will be last. This will prevent the lipstick from bleeding. Apply the red lipstick using a lip brush and make sure to fill the lips in completely. Take a tissue and blot your lips – that should absorb some of the lipstick, leaving a sort of stained effect on the lips. Apply one more coat of lipstick, then sweep away the loose powder from below…and now you're good to go. Thanks for visiting Makeup Mondays with Mario.

I've Fallen Hard For Urban Decay's Fall 2009 Collection
Though summer has just begun, fall makeup collections are popping up left and right. Not to be outdone, Urban Decay (one of my all-time favorite brands) just dropped 30+ products like they're hot. And they are. Take one look at the this virtual look book and try not to buy. I dare you. Makeup junkies, just try to keep those purse strings tight and see how that works out for you.
The Urban Decay Fall 2009 Collection includes:
Ink For Eyes Cream Eyeliner: It's everything you want in a cream eyeliner! More precise than a pencil, more forgiving than a liquid, this super-smooth formula offers more control, play time, and buildable coverage than your average liner. Create razor-sharp lines or smoky bedroom eyes… the creamy formula and double-ended applicator make it easy. Try the angled liner brush for precise details, or use the smudger for blending and drama. Available in Binge (midnight blue), Demolition (brown), Empire (eggplant), Loaded (deep green), Pyrotechnics (iridescent glitter, clear base), and Zero (black).
Complexion Primer Potion – Pore Perfecting: Smooth on a little Pore Perfecting Complexion Primer Potion before foundation (or alone!) to totally minimize the look of pores and fine lines. The velvety, paraben-free formula flashes down to a soft-matte finish, without the greasy, heavy feel sometimes associated with foundation primers. The result? Flawless skin with an airbrushed look and feel. Foundation applies smoothly, evenly, and won't fade away. Ideal for oilier skin, but dry complexions who want pore perfection will love it, too.
Complexion Primer Potion – Brightening: Dull skin? Fine lines? Disappearing foundation? Try Brightening Complexion Primer Potion under foundation (or alone!) for beautifully moisturized skin that looks brighter and feels tighter. This lightweight, oil-free, paraben-free formula includes buzz-worthy ingredient Matrixyl 3000, celebrated for its ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Hyaluronic Filling Spheres also minimize the look of fine lines while leaving skin beautifully moisturized. Your skin will look youthful, lifted and firm, and your foundation will apply smoothly, evenly, and last longer!
Eyelash Primer Potion: Wave this magic wand before your favorite mascara for lashes that appear thicker, longer and stronger…right before your very eyes. Tiny fibers band together, cling to every lash, and construct towers of Babel… reaching for heavenly lashes. Just apply Eyelash Primer Potion, then apply your favorite mascara as usual. Your lashes will look fake, but the magic is real.
Lip Primer Potion: This invisible primer lays a silky foundation for your favorite lipstick or gloss. Color is truer, applies smoother, lasts longer, and will not fade or feather. The easy-glide formula feels velvety-soft, without the drying feeling often associated with long-lasting lip color. The formula includes SPF 15 (yay!) and moisturizing Vitamins A, C and E for a primer that protects and perfects.
Deluxe Eyeshadow: Created with maximum staying power, Deluxe Eyeshadows offer incredibly long-lasting wear that won't fade (especially when paired with Urban Decay's miraculous Eyeshadow Primer Potion). Available in three new shades: Freakshow (deep purple w/red sheen), Frigid (deep purple w/blue sheen) and Ruthless (pale sandy taupe shimmer).
Lipsticks: The luxuriously creamy formula nourishes and protects lips with Vitamins A, C, and E. Hyaluronic Spheres are added to stimulate cellular function, prevent dehydration, and fill-in lines and wrinkles—now, how many Lipsticks can do that?! The teardrop-shape bullet (etched with an Urban Decay logo) is infused with a decadent crème caramel scent and flavor. Yum. Available in three new shades: Confession (deep, semi-sheer burgundy), Naked (creamy pink-nude) and Oil Slick (glossy black w/silver microsparkle).
24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencils: Just like Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils, these Lip Pencils are guaranteed to last, and also contain Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E, and Cottonseed Oil to nourish the skin and improve the smoothness of application. They're the perfect complement to Urban Decay Lipsticks, Stains, and Glosses. Available in two new shades: Paranoid (dark pinky nude) and Wallflower (medium nude).
Surreal Skin Cream-to-Powder Foundation: This ultra-lightweight formula transforms from a decadent cream to a micro-fine powder upon contact with skin. The light-as-air texture glides on effortlessly and feels as natural as your own skin. (No heavy, greasy, or powdery makeup texture.) Lighter than liquid, the buildable formula gives you all the coverage you desire, without the pore-clogging effects of heavier foundations – you can even wear it as a concealer. Available in eight shades.
Surreal Skin Mineral Makeup: Use a little for sheer coverage or keep puffing for heavier coverage. Titanium dioxide, a major ingredient, provides formulation color and great coverage. The handy on/off switch means you can toss it in your purse – no spills. Available in four new shades.
I'm lusting after this entire collection, and I think the feelings are mutual because every single product is calling my name…especially, the Ink For Eyes Cream Eyeliner. Which ones have you at hola?
Sssshhhh…Stila's Secret Sale
Stila has select products on sale. Stock up on bestsellers, like their Glaze Lip Liners. These Spoiled Pretty-approved pencils are specially designed to work with glosses…so your sheer, luscious lip doesn't turn into a murky mess.

I'm 13 weeks along with my 5th baby. My Marchie is so excited. She can't wait to have her own baby. Whenever she's around a newborn she just wants to hold and love them. It's so sweet. I just took dinner to a friend who had a baby a few weeks ago and as I was holding the baby my LO said, "Are we taking that to our house?"
Anyone else expecting?
Posted 12/12/2012
Due mid-August (just found out last week). Not sure if DD comprehends that there is going to be a new baby, but the last newborn she was around, she wanted nothing to do with and got jealous when I held it. Interested to see how she acts later on

Diaphragm (anatomy)
In the anatomy of mammals, the diaphragm is a shelf of muscle extending across the bottom of the ribcage.
The diaphragm separates the thoracic cavity (with lung and heart) from the abdominal cavity (with liver, stomach, intestines, etc.).
In its relaxed state, the diaphragm is shaped like a dome.

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week
Pros:I bought these to experiment with a coffee/balloon gripper, still haven't worked out how I'll operate the plunger.There is plenty of room at the handle end to attach a great variety of motorised options so it won't take too long to work that problem out. These are very big and imressive, would scare anyone with a fear of needles into next week.
Also needed them for some small scale hydraulic experiments and the size is very handy
mmmm, can't really see any as they the classic design that has been around for a vfery long time.
OtherThoughts:heavy duty, single use(medical) syringe
Bottomline:Very big and impressive hydraulic/air pumping device. You could probably also use them if you needed to tranquilize an elephant.
