Amazing VacationPosted Mar 19, 2015
My wife and I spent a week at the Divi All Inclusive, this was our second trip to the same resort. We loved it so much the first time we had to come back. The staff was excellent and the beach was amazing. We were always able to get a spot on the beach at any time of the day. We ate at the red parrot, ginger and the buffet. We thought the food was great especially for an all inclusive. I would recommend this resort to everyone.

Bartenders,pizza chefs,and waiters were the best!!Posted Mar 8, 2015
Went with a group of 17 people including 9 young children. Everyone was so accommodating. The maids made sure Ricky's pillow was nice and fluffed for his afternoon naps and when he woke up, the bar had a strawberry coolata and a personal pizza waiting for him. Jimmy Neutron would like to see TV's at the bar to keep up with current events. Can't wait to go back!!!

Great hotel but better beach!Posted Jan 5, 2015
Pros: Room location to beach was awesome. Food delicious. Clean rooms. Clean pool.
Cons: Attitude and treatment from bartenders and wait staff at buffet could be a little friendlier.
Location: Love that isn't over crowded or too congested. Close proximity to most attractions, shopping, casinos and excursions!
Very enjoyable vacation at Divi! Nice rooms and excellent beach! Food at restaurants was great! All bartenders need to be friendlier....some very irritable and make you feel like your bothering them.

Divi Aruba All Inclusive - the Best!Posted Dec 15, 2014
Pros: All inclusive - very clean and NOT a highrise.. Very important to me. I like the small intimate hotels.
Cons: Nothing!
Location: I selected excursions from DePalm tours. They pick you up at the hotel and return you to the hotel. Island is only 19 miles x 4 miles, very easy.
The very best in hospitality and friendliness! Great view of the Caribbean - cleanest room and cannot, absolutely cannot say enough about the staff. I'm pretty impressed and as a lady traveling alone felt very safe in Aruba. Would definitely recommend and already have to my friends.

We didn't know that all inclusive would only allow you to have the low bottom alcohols. Staff was very accommodating but room had cracks in walls and our towel rack fell off the wall when putting a towel on it. Also hair stayer was the one made for the wall but it wasn't attached to the wall so it was very cheap. It wasn't a horrible experience by any means but I would stay at a different hotel next time.

Great LocationPosted Dec 8, 2014
Pros: The location and beaches were amazing.
Cons: The hotel staff's customer service. The drinks provided by bartenders were always weak. The room's air conditioner leaked all over our clothes.
Location: The beach is all we needed, which was perfect.
The Divi all inclusive offered great location with amazing beaches. The hotel staff are a little rude unless you tip them, then they become more accepting to requests. Also, our room had a few issues and the wifi wouldnt begin to connect but other than that, the place was great. About a 20 minute walk downtown if you want to do some shopping. One thing I would say was disappointing is how watered down the drinks seem. Every time we ordered, we had to ask for additional liquor but still was inadequate.

I need some help on Light circuit outage.
I live in a ten year old house with a courtyard in the middle. all of a sudden, the 4 outdoor lights stopped working last week. I did the following without help: re-set the GFI, checked the circuit breaker, and replaced the bulbs. I use a multimeter on all four light sockets- no juice. I also did it on all four wall switches- all were fine. there is an outlet on the same gfi circuit, which is working fine.
is there something else I should do, or is it time to call in the calvary?
If you have power to part of the circuit, then that rules out the breaker and I'd suspect you have a loose connection somewhere. After that it is a box by box check until you find the problem. Did you check for power from hot to neutral or hot to ground (or both). A lack of power from hot to neutral but power from hot to ground would indicate a problem with the neutral line. A lack of power checked both hot to neutral and hot to ground would indicate a problem with the hot line.
"Back stab" receptacles are frequent culprits. Replace or rewire any you might find.

DEFINITION of 'Work And Materials Clause'
A provision in many property insurance policies that allows the policyholder to use the insured premises to store materials and to use the materials in the manner required by his or her line of work. The work and materials clause circumvents the increased hazard clause that is found in standard fire policies, which states that the insurer would not be liable for losses occurring when a hazard is increased and is known by and within the control of the insured. Without the provision, a policy could be voided for misrepresentation of an undisclosed increased hazard, fraud or concealment (the misrepresentation of a material fact, before or after a loss).
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Work And Materials Clause'
The work and materials clause acts as protection for policyholders against a claim that the insured knowingly increased a hazard if it can be shown that the materials or work in question were essential to the policyholder's line of work. The clause works to the benefit of the policyholder since without it claims could be denied based on the insured's prior knowledge and control of a hazard.

Multi-county car pursuit ends in Los Altos Hills with crash
- Details
- Published Date
- Written by Megan Winslow
A multi-county vehicle pursuit that blocked traffic on Interstate 280 for more than an hour Tuesday (March 17) ended in Los Altos Hills when the driver's SUV overturned on the freeway, according to California Highway Patrol reports.
No injuries were reported during the incident, but suspect Ramon Bernal of Davis was transported to Stanford Medical Center as a precautionary procedure. The 24-year-old was later booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail on charges of felony evasion of a peace officer and driving under the influence of drugs, according to CHP Officer Ross Lee.
The chase began near Vacaville at approximately 2 p.m. when a CHP officer observed Bernal's gold Nissan Pathfinder speeding westbound on Interstate 80, near Interstate 505. The officer attempted a traffic stop, according to CHP reports, but Bernal ¬ – the sole occupant of the vehicle – failed to yield. He continued driving at speeds between 80 and 95 mph onto Interstate 680 southbound, where a spike strip deflated the SUV's tires, and then onto 280 northbound.
By the time Bernal reached 280 near Magdalena Avenue, the SUV's tires had disintegrated to the point that the front of the vehicle came in contact with the roadway, according to CHP reports. He drove the SUV onto the center median, struck a dirt embankment and lost control. The vehicle flipped once before coming to a rest upright, and Bernal was able to exit the SUV on his own. CHP officers took him into custody without incident.
Northbound 280 traffic flow returned to normal levels by 5 p.m. Tuesday.

UPDATED at 2:50 p.m. Jan. 21: Los Altos Police apprehended the second suspect Tuesday morning. For more details, see the Jan. 28 edition of the Town Crier.
A Los Altos Hills resident's instinct to call the sheriff's office when two suspicious people knocked on his door may have thwarted a burglary.
The Loyola Drive resident's report to the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office Monday night (Jan. 19) led to the arrest of one of the men for auto theft and outstanding warrants; the other suspect escaped.
"There is no doubt in our mind that these guys were out here to commit a burglary," said Captain Rick Sung, Commander Chief of the West Valley Division.
The resident contacted the sheriff's Office at approximately 8 p.m. Monday after the two men asked him for gas, according to Sung. Deputies arrived minutes later, located the suspects – described as Hispanic males – and soon discovered they both had multiple warrants for their arrests.
One suspect fled the scene and escaped capture, despite the search perimeter set up by deputies, who dispatched K-9 officers and received air assistance from a San Jose Police Department helicopter.
The second suspect was arrested on warrants for vehicle theft, drug possession and driving without a license. His bail was set at $47,000.
According to Sung, the arrested suspect said that he and his associate were in the area "looking for a party." Their vehicle – reported as stolen – was found parked along Interstate 280. Sung said that marijuana and methamphetamine pipes were found inside.
Sung said the sheriff's office and neighboring agencies are on the lookout for the other suspect. In addition to facing warrants for possession of methamphetamine and being under the influence of controlled substances (totaling $110,00 in bail), Sung said the suspect now faces additional charges for fleeing the scene and stealing a vehicle.
Although burglaries in Los Altos Hills dipped in October through December, Sung encouraged residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity – just like the Loyola Drive resident did.
"Don't wait five minutes or 10 minutes," he said. "Our deputies will be there in minutes."

Thinking Of New Edging Come Spring. Your Thoughts?
Below is a picture of my house as of last spring. I did a beautiful job with the edging and mulch as you can tell. A few rainfalls later along with the cats, the edging was gone in no time and it looked terrible (Sorry, I don't have any pictures of that). I really like the way stone edging looks, but last year I didn't have $$ to put it in. This year I received a bunch of Lowe's Gift Cards and am able to spend a few hundred bucks on it. I found some reasonably priced stone that's within budget and doesn't require a cap. Below is a picture.
I was thinking of running just one layer of stone across the front of my house where the hostas are (Except for making it more curvy instead of sharp edges). Then around the corner where the large bushes are start with two layers since it's slightly lower ground. Then I could use the same stone around my 3 trees in the front. What do you guys suggest??
My House:
The Stone: (This stone is 12" long, 7" deep, 4" thick) Light Grey in color:
I really like the edging stones, and the idea of making them less symetrical. You might want to make the area wider so as you find more plants you will have room for them. How about narrow trellises on a couple of those porch posts, climbing roses are easy care and they'd look beautiful. In order to deter the cats you can put chicken wire under the mulch or take some of those cheap bamboo sticks and put them in at intervals that make it difficult for them to navigate. I had to do this in my flower garden and once they stopped hanging around in there I removed the sticks and they continued to stay out! You might need to provide them with a "cat box" area somewhere else in the yard, they prefer sand.
Placed at the right depth in relation to the grass, it would make a nice mowing strip. Flashing between the 'stones' and the grass will keep the grass from creeping between the stones for awhile.
I'm sorry, I'll have to be Mr. Negative.
Way to much lawn for my liking. Beds to sterile and plants lined up like tin soldiers. Plants should planted in clusters of 3's and 5's. Looks more natural. Built up islands of rock and soil / mulch.
The big blank wall could use a couple or three multi stem trees. Like Vine Maples. They would distract the view of the heat pump and cast nice shadows.
Raised edging means line trimming. I can think of better things to do.
Take a look at botann of seattles postings.
but what do I know. I'd plow the lawn and plant vegetables.
Here is a link that might be useful: Food not Lawn
Eric, too much lawn for me too, but remember the OP (Original Poster)is just beginning the landscaping.
It's nice to have some plants around the house but the design should start at the property line and work in. Evergreen trees for privacy should be planted first so they can do their job as soon as possible. The lawn shape is next. I think of the lawn as water. Where you have a bad view the 'water' should come in away from the property line so you have more room to plant trees and shrubs for privacy. Where you have a good view, let the lawn go closer to the property line so you won't inadvertently block it.
Flower bed edges change over time due to the need for more room, refinements, etc. Rarely do you get it right the first time that will stand the test of time. Most beds are too small and too narrow and improperly placed. The problem with putting down edging right away is that it tends to be permanent because it's a lot of trouble or expensive to change, therefore the design suffers.
Back to too much lawn. I took out a large portion of my lawn last summer. I was tired of mowing it and when I went on vacation I came back to a hay field. Here's the result.
No more hayfield! I covered the lawn with woodchips six inches deep. I get em' for free because the owner of the tree service parks his trucks on my property.
Thanks guys for your helpful tips. Keep in mind that I have about 2 acres of grass my house sits on. Doing something like the above picture in a smaller yard would look great and it would be self maintaining. Trying to accomplish something that dramatic where I live with hardly no trees and all flat ground would be very hard to pull off.
On another note, I purchased my blocks for my small retaining wall over the weekend, I got half of it put in and it really made an impact I think. The photo below is a photoshop, the actual bricks are a tan/gray color, not red. They are also a different kind.

From Stanford: "Stanford engineers use brilliant X-rays to illuminate catalysis, revise theories"
January 19, 2015
Andrew Myers
Many of today's most promising renewable energy technologies – fuel cells, water splitters and artificial photosynthesis – rely upon catalysts to expedite the chemical reactions at the heart of their potential. Catalysts are materials that enhance chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. For over a century, engineers across the world have engaged in a near-continual search for ways to improve catalysts for their devices and processes.
Against this backdrop, a team of researchers at Stanford has used high-brilliance X-rays in a new way to peer into active reactions using metal oxides as the catalyst. Ceramic-like metal oxides, such as iron oxide, a material similar to rust, are desirable as catalysts because they are more abundant and more stable than typical catalysts made of rare metals like platinum, ruthenium and rhodium.
Lead author Dr. David Mueller using brilliant X-rays to characterize working fuel cells at the Advanced Light Source at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He is a staff scientist at the Juelich, Germany, research center.
Although they may be more abundant, metal oxides are also less scientifically understood than their metallic counterparts.
The Stanford engineers were able to use enhanced X-ray technology in a novel way to observe the behavior of individual electrons during these important chemical processes. What they learned has upended long-held scientific understanding of how metal oxide catalysts work.
"A freshman chemistry student would tell you, by intuition, that in a material made up of iron and oxygen – as iron oxide is – it is the iron, the metal ion, that is the catalytically active component. We discovered exactly the opposite. Oxygen ions are the ones gaining and losing electrons most actively. Iron is almost completely inactive," explained William Chueh, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering and senior author of the study published in the journal Nature Communications.
The results are a 180-degree shift from what went before, assert Chueh and colleagues – postdoctoral scholar David N. Mueller and graduate student Michael L. Machala, both of whom work in Chueh's lab, and Hendrik Bluhm, a staff scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The findings could reshape the search for new and better catalysts.
"We've been looking in the wrong place. We thought oxygen was the spectator, but it's the protagonist, and we can now look to develop new catalysts by modifying the oxygen ions in these systems," Chueh said.
Redox redux
In reality, the catalyst is consumed and then recreated during the reaction, but the net result is the same: zero effect on the catalyst, but profound implications for humanity.
Catalysts play a fundamental role in our lives, though few outside the community of researchers and engineers who study them know much about how they work. Metal oxides, in particular, are leading candidates for use as catalysts at the heart of a basic chemical reaction known as reduction-oxidation, or "redox" for short. Redox reactions are key to renewable energy uses.
One of the best examples is water splitting. Electricity generated from the sun via solar panels is passed through water. The electric current separates ("splits") the water into its two constituent elements: environmentally beneficial oxygen and clean-burning hydrogen. The hydrogen can then be stored and later burned as fuel to generate electricity when the sun is not shining.
A fundamental search
One of the major hurdles on the path to these renewable energy applications has been the catalyst. The Chueh team's research represents one of the first times science has used high-brilliance X-rays to look so closely at these reactions. The experiments were performed at the Advanced Light Source at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Until recently the reactions under such surveillance had to be done in a vacuum, but no longer.
"It simply wasn't possible to study how gas molecules, particularly oxygen, interacted with the catalyst because we couldn't include them in the experiments. Thanks to these new techniques, we can study oxygen in the reactions," Chueh said.
The advance allowed the researchers to observe and follow the electrons as they do their work and to better understand how they behave during the reactions. What they have learned is "extremely critical" to fundamental-level understanding of catalysts and could lead in exciting new directions in catalyst design, Chueh added. Research like this provides a glimpse of a future in which metal oxides will become more competitive with traditional catalysts.
"We're working at the most basic levels of science to understand what makes a material tick, and what limits its performance and why. This is fundamental work, but it is inspiring, as well," Chueh said, adding: "It will help us design better technologies from the atomic level up, to someday have great commercial impact."

Eli Pariser is an online organizer and disorganizer. He's the co-founder and CEO of Upworthy, the former Executive Director of MoveOn (he now serves on the board), a co-founder of Avaaz.org, and the author of the New York Times bestseller The Filter Bubble.
Shortly after the September 11th terror attacks, Eli created a website calling for a multilateral approach to fighting terrorism. In the following weeks, over half a million people from 192 countries signed on, and Eli rather unexpectedly became an online organizer.
The website merged with MoveOn.org in November of 2001, and Eli -– then 20 years old — joined the group to direct its foreign policy campaigns. He led what the New York Times Magazine called the "mainstream arm of the peace movement" — tripling MoveOn's member base in the process, demonstrating for the first time that large numbers of small donations could be mobilized through online engagement, and developing many of the practices that are now standard in the field of online organizing.
In 2004, Eli co-created the Bush in 30 Seconds online ad contest, the first of its kind, and became Executive Director of MoveOn. Under his leadership, MoveOn.org Political Action grew to 5 million members and raised over $120 million from millions of small donors to support advocacy campaigns and political candidates — helping Democrats reclaim the House and Senate in 2006. Eli focused MoveOn on online-to-offline organizing, developing phone-banking tools and precinct programs in 2004 and 2006 that laid the groundwork for Barack Obama's remarkable campaign. In 2008, Eli transitioned the Executive Director role at MoveOn to Justin Ruben and became president of MoveOn's board.
Eli's newest project is Upworthy, a social media start-up with a cause, which was announced in late 2011. Fellow cofounders include Chris Hughes of Facebook and Peter Koechley of The Onion.
Eli grew up in Lincolnville, Maine, and graduated summa cum laude in 2000 with a B.A. in Law, Politics, and Society from Simon's Rock College. He gave the Commencement Address there in 2005, and received an honorary high school diploma — one of very few ever given to a non-graduate of high school — from Camden-Rockport High School. He lives in Brooklyn, NY.

"The Internet software that we use is getting smarter, and more tailored to our needs, all the time. The risk, Eli Pariser reveals, is that we increasingly won't see other perspectives. In The Filter Bubble, he shows us how the trend could reinforce partisan and narrow mindsets, and points the way to a greater online diversity of perspective."

Budget hostel for foreign visitors to the United Kingdom...
Bournemouth Backpackers Hostel, 3 Frances Road, Bournemouth, Dorset BH1 3RY, ENGLAND.

Possible Summer Work at Bournemouth Backpackers
We're considering employing a full-time live-in warden for the hostel during High Season this year (June-August). It's not certain at this stage, but if you are interested, paste in some information about yourself and maybe a text version of your CV, via the "contact the management" form.
You would need to be 18 or over and legally allowed to work in the UK (this will be verified). You must speak good English and have work, or academic referees, that can be checked by us in English (or maybe German). Some foreign languages would be beneficial, especially German, but also French, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish or Dutch/Flemish. You would need to be trustworthy, hard-working, good with people, responsible, assertive when needed and able to deal with problems. It would obviously be better if you are already in the UK, or planning to come this summer in any case. Please no heavy drinkers and no party animals, it's a non-smoking, green'ish, calm, and relaxing hostel :)
Our winter maintenance work is taking a little longer than expected and so we are unable to take guests or reservations at the moment. We hope to reopen in early May. We will post further information here and on our website, when we are able to start taking reservations again.
Please be aware that a number of hotels, guest houses and reservation sites are advertising hostel accommodation in Bournemouth that is not hostel accommodation. Be careful when making reservations through one of these booking sites as the accommodation and the price may not be what you expected. We advise you to book direct with the place that you want to stay to avoid any confusion or disappointment.
Welcome to Bournemouth, and its neighbour Poole, on the sunny(ish) south coast of England, one of the UK's leading seaside resorts. We have miles of clean, sandy beaches (which meet the European Union's "Blue Flag" standards) with two piers and one of the world's largest natural harbours - offering a wide variety of watersports.
Bournemouth has several retail centres, top English language schools, a well established university, renowned nightlife and a host of local activities.
We have year-round casual work - well suited to international working holiday makers. Work opportunties and our cheap Low Season rates make the hostel a good winter base to save up some well-needed travel money for the summer.
Bournemouth is a great base for exploring the beautiful Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire scenery. Cheap bus passes allow unlimited travel over a wide area - giving easy access to many local attractions. Backpacker day trips can be booked with Discover Dorset. The nearby Jurassic Coast is one of the most spectacular coastlines in the world and is now World Heritage Listed (along with The Grand Canyon in the USA and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia). The long distance South West Coastal Path, which begins on the other side of Poole Harbour, provides outstanding views.
Also on the other side of the Harbour lies Purbeck: a beautiful and easily accessible area, with the pretty resort of Swanage, ancient pubs and the ruins of the medieval Corfe Castle. To the east of Bournemouth lies the New Forest with its famous ponies.
The area is rich in history and legends:
Thomas Hardy, Lawrence of Arabia, The Tolpuddle Martyrs, Dorset smugglers, Badbury Rings, Maiden Castle, Corfe Castle, The Cerne Abbas Giant, etc. etc.

As you can see from our comments page, most of our guests don't want to leave.

Inside the Backpackers Hostel
As the hostel is not profitable during the winter months and so that we can carry out essential maintenance,
we are unable to take reservations or new guests at the moment. We hope to reopen in early May.
We are a very small backpacker hostel and to keep our prices low we don't have full time staff. This means that check-in times are limited especially in Low Season. EVERY GUEST must therefore arrive, pay in cash and show their official photo ID during reception hours. There are unfortunately no exceptions.
So please read the following information carefully to avoid disappointment.
Check-in is only possible with an advance reservation on Sundays between 17:00-19:00.
In Low Season you can make a reservation by completing the reservation enquiry form on this website. All reservations must either be reconfirmed or cancelled the day before arrival, this can be done by replying to an email booking, by telephone, or voicemail. Once reconfirmed beds are held until check-in closes at 19:00. At check-in guests are asked to pay in cash for the nights they have reserved as we have no credit card facility.
If you are arriving before reception opens, luggage can be left at the Bournemouth Tourism Office at the Travel Interchange (train/bus station) for a small charge; luggage cannot be left at the hostel before you check-in.

Really need to scan the data stream and see if the computer is seeing the signal from the rear speed sensor, if so, it may be a dash problem or a Central electrical Computer problem that is not letting the rear speed sensor talk to the Instrument Cluster.

During the tech boom of the late 1990s, dot-com value stocks were about as abundant as homeless millionaires. Today, Internet shares are raging once again, and valuations look frothy among companies with slim profits and high hopes. But this time around, there are also bargains to be found among online old-timers whose profits are well established, and even growing nicely.

Low Bid: CEO John Donahoe ushered in big changes at eBay,... Martin Klimek for Barron's
"The speculators and momentum players would rather look for companies with 100% top-line growth and no bottom line, and dream about future monetization," says Martin Sass, the founder of M.D. Sass, a Manhattan investment firm that manages $6 billion. "Ebay is very visible and maybe boring, but it delivers." Sass bought eBay shares three years ago and has recently been adding more at "around $51," making the stock his firm's second-biggest holding, behind American Airlines Group AAL -4.433497536945813% American Airlines Group Inc.

Ebay is best known for its online-auction site, which has long benefited from what business schools call the network effect. That makes some services more valuable as more people use them, giving big players key competitive advantages. To unload a gently used iPhone, it helps to list it where it will attract the most bids, even if other venues have lower fees. Today, however, eBay is arguably more of an aspiring Amazon than auctioneer, thanks to a transformation engineered by John Donahoe, who took over as CEO in the dark days of 2008 ("The Silicon Valley Outsider," Oct. 7). About 70% of transactions come from buyers clicking its Buy It Now buttons.
...but investors, enamored of Twitter and Facebook, have yet to give this "old" Internet stock its due.
It's adding Amazon-like capabilities, including free shipping and same-day delivery in some markets. And it offers one key advantage over Amazon for sellers: eBay doesn't stock and sell its own merchandise, so it doesn't compete with its third-party sellers.

Another plus: Ebay owns PayPal, an online-payment service that has become a key growth contributor. Its profits should expand at a compounded rate of 17% per year through 2015, versus 10% for marketplace profits, predicts Susquehanna Financial Group. That would raise PayPal's profit contribution to 35% by 2015 from 31% in 2012. Much of PayPal's past growth has come from its increased use online, at eBay.com and other e-commerce sites.

Shoppers aren't exactly running low on payment options, of course, but rewards programs can win fans quickly, and here PayPal has a key structural advantage. An estimated 40% of its transactions use the Automated Clearing House, a bank transfer service overseen by the Federal Reserve. This free ride of sorts gives PayPal outsize cash flow that it's spending now to expand, but can later put toward shopper perks.
IN THE NEAR TERM, eBay stands to benefit from some old-fashioned Christmas desperation for hot gifts. Susquehanna performed a recent survey of 239 items, including all three major videogame consoles, LeapPad tablets for kids, and something called Furby Boom Waves. It found a 28% out-of-stock rate across all retailers, up from 2% to 3% in recent weeks, with even higher rates at Target, Wal-Mart, and Amazon, excluding its third-party sellers. Of course, eBay's helpful capitalists had pretty much everything in stock and ready for shipment—for a price.
The Bottom Line
With PayPal driving earnings, eBay stock is likely worth 20% more than its current price.
Longer-term, eBay shares can outperform even without blazing growth. For example, Robert Peck, an analyst with SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, thinks the goals eBay laid out earlier this year look too aggressive. He expects revenues to reach $21.2 billion by 2015, up from $14.1 billion last year, compared with eBay's goal of $21.5 billion to $23.5 billion. He says eBay should dial down its numbers to set up easier comparisons, but he nonetheless upgraded the stock to Buy from Neutral earlier this month, because its recent underperformance has left the potential rewards outweighing the risks. Cantor Fitzgerald recently called eBay its top Internet value play for 2014.
"Value" here is relative. Ebay shares sell for 19 times this year's earnings forecast, versus 16 times for the Standard & Poor's 500 index. But eBay's midteens earnings-growth rate dwarfs the 4% rate last quarter for the S&P. It also sits on net cash of about $6 billion, equal to 9% of its stock market value, and should generate $4 billion in free cash next year. Based on 2015 projections, the company trades at 14 times earnings and just 13 times free cash flow. There might be a dot-com bubble brewing elsewhere, but this stock looks like a good deal.

push mower wont start after new crankshaft, spark fine..
rstregooskiJune 29, 2010
Hello all.. I recently replaced the crankshaft + key on a 5 year old briggs engine from my push mower. Granted it was the first time I've done a crankshaft, but I did all the research and put everything back together exactly. Now I can't get it to start- sparks fine, carburetor / tank clean, clean gas, oil level check. The flywheel engages the shaft fine, but no combustion. I'm pretty stumped on this one, it's probably something real obvious! If anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful, thanks a lot..
