Buying businesses not picking stocks
"Warren Buffet does not buy stocks. He is, actually, buying a piece of the business of a company."
These statements made by those who have personally interviewed him may be the best that could capture the core of Warren Buffet's investment style.
With such a mindset, Warren Buffet did not only go one step higher in the practice of value investing but actually gave its philosophy a more sublime interpretation unseen—or probably ignored—by previous theoreticians, like his grand mentor, Benjamin Graham.
We're on our last two investment celebrities on our study to better understand the principles and elements of value investing, and I'll not make you wait any longer. We'll take up Warren Buffet now and leave William J. O'Neil for last.
We will no longer go through the usual trivia on his supposedly interesting personal life, as well as his marvelous younger days, and we'll go straight to his methods of investing that made him both the most influential investment thinker and the wealthiest investor of contemporary time.
Buying at bargain prices
An ardent student and reverend disciple of Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffet adheres faithfully to the primary principle of value investing. This means, he buys stocks at prices lower than what they are actually worth, thus, "buy stocks at bargain prices only."
Unless he has recently changed his regimen, Warren Buffet does not have a quote machine on his desk. This is because, unlike most of us, he does not check stock prices regularly. According to him, "stock prices are unreliable indicators of a company's worth," another principle of value investing.
To him, daily stock quotes have no urgent value. He is often heard saying, "there are days when they're up, others they're down. Sometimes Wall Street thinks the market looks good, other times it thinks it looks bad. It's willy nilly, unreasonable and unnecessary to know."
This kind of thinking was formed by both his early foray in the stock market with technical analysis and his being a pupil of Graham who maintained that "nobody ever knows what the market will do."
His father, after serving four terms as a Republican congressman, became a stockbroker. By then, Warren Buffet also became fascinated with technical analysis, and "developed his own market timing signals." But after awhile, he concluded that "it made no real sense." He discarded that approach.
It was by then that Buffet came up with his investment style of picking stocks. This is by, namely: searching for "quality companies" that are selling low but are not necessarily burdened by the direction of stock prices.
Sifting from reports, he adopted the said approach for two reasons: first, "quality companies are still good companies when times are bad" and second, "they are also far more vital than even buying at a discount." Thus, when the stock prices of "quality companies" drop, Buffet is not perturbed and takes it as "nothing more than a signal for a chance to pick up additional shares at a discount."
Attributes of a quality company
First and foremost in Buffet's mind as to what makes a "quality company" is that its "management must be honest with shareholders and must always act in their interest." To him, integrity precedes everything in business.
There is no point, according to him, in proceeding to evaluate a company whose people you do not trust. "It is important to see the explanations of a company's successes and failures. You must have a continuing understanding on the businesses in which you invest in," he says.
Second, "the company should earn more cash than is necessary to stay in business and direct that cash wisely." This meant "investing more in financially rewarding activities" and, at the same time "returning the cash to shareholders in the form of increased dividends or stock buybacks."
Third, a quality company is one that has a high net profit margin. A company's profit margin is determined by dividing net profit (net income) by sales (revenues). It is ratio of profitability that "measures how much out of every peso of sales a company actually keeps in (the form of) earnings."
To determine whether a quality company is at a bargain price, Buffet "makes a projection on future cash flows and discount them back to the present with the rate of long-term US government bonds."
If you will notice, the use of the rate of long-term US government bonds is a reflection of Benjamin Graham's margin of safety concept. Graham, though, was deliberately vague in describing a stock's margin of safety. As he has always emphasized, investment analysis is not an exact science, "there are hard factors like book value, debt and other financial statement data, there are subjective factors like quality of management, nature of the business and the like."
But in striving to be more concrete in the application of his concept, he cited the following general expression: "If you're paying less for a company than it would sell piece by piece, there's a good margin of safety there."
After computing for the company's intrinsic value, Buffet then looks at the company's stock price. This is said to be one of the few occasions Buffet takes a look at stock prices. If its stock is "selling well under the company's worth" (as one account reported it), Buffet buys it.
Next to the traditional concept of "buying at a bargain," Buffet looks at the competitive advantage of a company or its "economic moat."
In simple terms, this is about the capability of a company to maintain earnings and increase profits in the future despite strong and/or increasing competition. Economic moats could come in the form of unique or advanced products or services, marketing muscle, brand, franchise, pricing power and/or technology in combination with a host of other organizational attributes that allow the company to "generate solid returns on assets and on stockholders' equity, keep competitors at bay or keep competitors from stealing profits."
Such considerations brought Buffet to invest in Coca-Cola ("very valuable franchise and strong brand"), Walt Disney ("very strong franchise"), See's Candy ("terrific pricing power") and Gillette ("pricing power"), to mention a few.
Part of his success, too, is in the management of his investments. Buffet prefers to focus his portfolio on a few good companies. He believes that "concentrating on good stocks is safer than diversifying across mediocre ones."
Also, Buffet invests more money in stocks that are performing well, "just as a business puts more money into its most successful ventures."
Above all else, Buffet insists that you must "do your research, do it well and disregard the opinions of others."
Bottom line spin
Geopolitical conditions may overshadow better-than-expected economic developments. They can also have further impact on the market's general outlook beyond this week.

Company Will Pay for Metro to Run Late During National's Playoff Run
by Associated Press
posted Sep 27 2012 8:33PM
WASHINGTON (AP) - An online coupon company based in Washington has agreed to foot the bill for keeping the Metro subway system open late during the Washington Nationals' playoff run.
Metro announced Thursday that LivingSocial will put down the $29,500 deposit to keep the trains running for an extra hour. Metro closes at midnight, but playoff games can run later.
Last month, some fans were stranded at Nationals Park after a 13-inning victory over the Atlanta Braves. That led District of Columbia officials to pledge that they'd find a way to keep Metro open late during the playoffs.
LivingSocial will be reimbursed for part or all of its deposit based on how many people use Metro during the extended hours.
The Nationals lead the National League East and have clinched a playoff berth.

» Melancholic and Melancholic
We know two melancholics who went to the same school for four years but never got to know each other until they were forced to get together by a third party. From the first moment they met, they were soul sisters! But, the problem is: if left to their own devices, would they have ever gotten together? Melancholics tend to be so internally focused and analytical that they might never take the initiative or the risk to venture out into uncharted territory.
But, once you are in a relationship (whether friends or family) you can relate well on the level of ideals, principles, and details. But you can both be perfectionist and critical. So, watch out that you don't turn every get together into a gripe session! Encourage each other to extend yourselves beyond your comfort zone. Go together to parties and social functions, expand your social horizons, and learn the fine art of flexibility. Keep in mind the bigger relationship picture, and do not sweat the small stuff. Encourage expressiveness and communication about each other's deepest feelings. Do not let resentment build within you, and practice the virtues of forgiveness and delicate charity.

New blow for Rice: Moderate senator voices concern
WASHINGTON A moderate Republican senator, vital to any White House hopes of getting U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice confirmed as secretary of state, said Wednesday she couldn't back any nomination until more questions are answered about the deadly Sept. 11 attack in Libya and Rice's State Department role during the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombing in Kenya.
In a fresh suggestion of eroding GOP support for Rice, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine emerged from a 90-minute, closed-door meeting with the ambassador voicing new criticism of her initial account about Libya. Collins also questioned what Rice, the assistant secretary of state for African Affairs in the Clinton administration, knew about requests for enhanced embassy security before the Nairobi truck bombing.
Pressed on how she would vote if President Barack Obama names Rice to succeed Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Collins said, "I would need to have additional information before I could support her nomination."
President Barack Obama came to Rice's defense during a Cabinet meeting, calling her "extraordinary" and saying he couldn't be prouder of the job she has done as U.N. ambassador. Cabinet members joined Obama in applauding Rice, who attended the meeting. Obama has not named a replacement for Clinton, who has said she intends to step down soon.
At the State Department, Clinton was asked about her possible replacement.
"Susan Rice has done a great job as our ambassador to the United Nations," Clinton said. "Of course, this decision about my successor is up to the president, but I am very happy he has the opportunity with a second term to make a decision."
The misgivings from Collins, the top Republican on the Homeland Security Committee, came one day after three other GOP senators said they would try to block Rice's nomination. Sens. John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire said they were more troubled than ever by Rice's answers on Libya even though the ambassador conceded that her much-maligned first explanation was wrong.
In an unusual move, Rice and acting CIA Director Michael Morell have held two days of private meetings with Republican senators in hopes of assuaging their concerns. Privately, Senate Republicans said they had hoped the conversations would quiet the criticism as they want to avoid the spectacle of a postelection challenge to a female African-American nominee.
Instead, the sessions have cast further doubt on her chances for the top State Department job and increased the likelihood of a protracted fight if Obama does choose her. Although Democrats will have 55 votes in the next Congress, the president would need the support of five Republicans to avoid a filibuster of the nomination. Collins would be a prime candidate to help avoid a filibuster of the nomination.
Collins said she was troubled by Rice's "political role" in downplaying the Libya attack as a spontaneous demonstration over an anti-Muslim video rather than a terrorist attack by al-Qaida affiliates in a series of Sunday talk show appearances on Sept. 16 - five days after the attack and weeks before the election.

Steven Schick performances in San Diego
• Conducting the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus: 7:30 p.m. Feb. 8 and 2 p.m. Feb. 9; UC San Diego Mandeville Auditorium. (858) 534-4637 or lajollasymphony.com
• Performing the San Diego premiere of composer Paul Dresher's "Schick Machine" (presented by UC San Diego's ArtPower): 8 p.m. Feb. 27; UC San Diego Mandeville Auditorium. (858) 534-8497 or artpwr.com-
NEW YORK Steven Schick didn't quite bare all for his 60th birthday, but he did strip to the waist to perform Vinko Globokar's "?Corporel," a work that uses the body literally as a sounding board, making the performer and the instrument one in the same.
In celebration of his milestone birthday, the UC San Diego-based percussionist and conductor offered two concerts at Columbia University's Miller Theatre that surveyed the history of solo percussion music and Schick's own history as a percussionist.
The two are ultimately intertwined, as the solo percussion genre only dates back to the 1950s and was still fresh when Schick got a hold of it as a music student.
The New York programs were divided between the two: the early repertory in Thursday's "Origins" concert and the newer works in the "Responses" program Saturday, which included world premieres by Nathan Davis ("Crystal Radio") and Schick's UC San Diego colleague, Lei Liang ("Trans").
As Schick demonstrated Thursday, not only in the 1982 "?Corporel" (one of two works by Globokar) but in works by Stockhausen, Feldman, Lachenmann, Lucier and Xenakis, he has an uncanny ability to think in linear terms, to somehow find the line in what initially can seem to be a series of isolated, fragmented gestures. Perhaps the most musically demanding work, at least in terms of intelligibility, was also the earliest, Stockhausen's 1959 "Zyklus," a piece that is literally ground zero in the solo percussion repertoire.
It is a rigorous, confounding score, composed with the serial, 12-tone-technique that was the rage in the '50s, but leavened by Stockhausen with just an element of chance: The performer can start wherever he wants in the score and then proceed.
If you are thinking percussion music must be about rhythm, Stockhausen has you thinking again. Somehow, Schick made Stockhausen's succession of sounds seem coherent, and perhaps inevitable, even as the piece seemed to teeter on the brink of random chaos. As Schick accomplished this same feat on one piece after the other Thursday, you started to wonder how much of the program you were hearing with your eyes and seeing with your ears.
In a piece like "?Corporel," there's an unmistakable theatrical element, given that Schick is tapping, scratching and yelping, whether in full lotus position, standing or flat on his back. It was a musical tour de force, but it's hard to think of the work existing in sound only. If someone listened to a sound recording of the performance, they would be missing much of the music. Although that aspect was most overt in the two Globokar works (the other was "Toucher," which requires the performer to recite while playing), it was evident throughout the program.

I flew Brisbane to Honiara on the 24th April. Flight Left early was only 1/4 full and arrived 40 minutes early.
Add 30 kg of luggage, good plentiful food and beer, what more could you want. Entertainment was poor but its only
a 3 hour flight so I survived. Staff friendly which is much more than I can say about the BA & Qantas staff on the
Flights coming out from Ireland.
Rating : 8/10
Flew from Brisbane to Honiara and then on to Munda return. A320 flight to and from Honiara was on time,
reasonable wine flowed freely, good food but no IFE (I had an iPad). Possibly the most under-utilised A320 in
the world, 10 sectors a week or so. A 10 min walk literally on the road to the domestic terminal with a dodgy
luggage trolley and a very hot and humid wait. They are very proud of their new Dash-8, however this ride to
Munda was extremely hot. Despite them running one prop for 20 mins before we got on, the plane never
cooled down for the 50 min flight. The safety cards proved useful as fans! This multi-stop island hopper flight
tends to change its timetable at will - there was a large group going to Munda so we got dropped off first.
Leaving, the plane arrived an hour early because the PM came to visit the area so we got to stop at 2 other
airstrips on the way. Overall a good experience, generous baggage allowance for diving gear.
Rating : 6/10
Brisbane-Honiara. Check-in a little slow but request for seat changes so our group could sit together handled
without fuss. A320 has comfortable seats with good leg room but no IFE despite old style screens
throughout the cabin being available. Catering is very basic and catering equipment is old and well used.
Toilets clean but are old and smelly. Highlight was the crew who offered drinks throughout the flight, not
just responding to requests but proactively out in the cabin for the whole flight. Recommend having
breakfast before the flight and bring a book or iPad, but otherwise an enjoyable flight and cheaper than
Rating : 9/10
Brisbane-Honiara-Suavanao-Honiara-Brisbane. BNE-HIR-BNE. Nice A320 with more leg room than any other
airline I've flown. Service was excellent, nice food, plenty of drinks. Flights on time. Smaller Twin Otter and
Britten Norman Islander planes for the domestic flights, both small but comfortable enough, bit noisy though!
BNE-HIR-BNE. BNE connection is operated by Strategic Airlines. Service BNE-HIR-BNE excellent, like a party on
board with plenty of food and endless drinks. Luggage allowance flexible. Punctuality quite good. Domestic no
service on board - had only one cancellation (due to puncture on remote Island of Gizo). However, hotel and care
quickly provided until next morning. Small aircraft on domestic routes noisy.

LABIS: PAS candidate Normala Sudirman is firm about not shaking hands with men citing her faith as the reason.
Hitting out at the Barisan Nasional for turning it into a political issue, she said: "We (Muslim women) do not even shake hands with Muslim men.
"After all these years of independence, Umno should have explained to its component parties about the way Muslims greet each other," she said at a press conference here yesterday.
"There is no problem (for us) when greeting women," she said, in defence of a belief among many Muslims that skin contact with those considered non-muhrim (spouse or immediate family members) is forbidden.
Asked about wearing gloves, which she did during her walkabouts here yesterday, she said: "Sometimes we have to be flexible".
She added that PKR president Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Ismail also wears gloves if she needs to shake hands with men.
"Our friends in the PKR and DAP have been explaining our way to the people here and they (the voters) seem to understand it," she said, adding that Umno should do the same.
Normala later joined DAP leaders at Jalan Segamat to write Chinese calligraphy, including lin nien, meaning 'collaborate.'
Meanwhile, MCA vice-president Datuk Seri Ng Yen Yen said the women may not be easily swayed to vote for Normala because "they are smart and would look at the bigger picture before casting their votes."
"PAS claims it is not moving towards an Islamic state but why is their candidate making an issue about shaking hands with male voters?
"It would be better if PAS openly states it wants to create a Muslim country governed by Muslim regulations," she said.
Dr Ng, who is Tourism Minister, said Wanita Umno members had been working hard to address women's issues and this is what the voters look for.
"The women voters will not be swayed by the opposition ceramahs," she told reporters after launching the Johor state-level 1Malaysia Green, 1Malaysia Clean campaign here yesterday.
Women make up 51% of the 14, 753 voters in the Tenang constituency.
Meanwhile, PAS vice president Salahuddin Ayub alleged that Barisan candidate Mohd Azahar Ibrahim is a "reluctant candidate."
"We have fielded a candidate who is dedicated and willing to serve the people while the Barisan candidate had to be coaxed into becoming a candidate," he said, adding that Mohd Azahar had resigned his post as an assistant district officer only on Friday.

The Parents and Teachers Council of Navodaya Vidyalaya at Mavinakere near here, on Thursday, came out in support of school staff who have been staging a protest since February 8. They are demanding coverage under a pension scheme.
The protesters marched to the office of the Deputy Commissioner.
The parents demanded that the Union government agree to the teachers' demands soon so that students would not be affected.
The Navodaya school teachers have been demanding a pension scheme for them as per the Central Civil Service Pension Rules 1972, appointment of hostel wardens, a rational transfer policy and recruitment of group D employees.

About me
I can't remember a time when I wasn't strongly drawn to old and/or unusual things. Things that had a history. Things that were still telling a story, or waiting to tell a new one. There's a certain comfort in "old things". Kind of a reassurance that some things do last.
Throughout my life, I've been a collector of all kinds of wonderful old things...everything from rocks, to comic books, to vintage jewelry, to Fenton glass, to....well, the list goes on.
It is always my greatest pleasure, to connect other people with a little piece of the past. Something that can bring back a good memory, or make a person smile.
Thanks for checking out Stone Crow Collectibles! I hope you've enjoyed browsing my store, and I look forward to doing business with you.

This week on NRA's Life of Duty Network, we take a look at 3 Echo 9; the men and women who serve as U.S. Air Force Emergency Management Specialists. These are the people who gear up in the Level A HazMat suits to take care of everything from major aircraft accidents to the ever-present threat of an offensive biological warfare.
"My wife doesn't have any fears about what I do," explains TSGT David Yeo, an Air Force Emergency Management Craftsman. "If something was going to go wrong then it was going to go wrong whether I mitigated it or not."
It's difficult to explain all they go through to prepare for these incidents. For a better understanding, click here to see the trailer and link to the full 3 Echo 9 video event.

US EPA Honors American DG Energy for Carbon Emissions Reductions
"CHP plays an important role in meeting
American DG Energy, a member of the CHP Partnership, was presented with a certificate by the EPA in recognition of the Company's contribution to "efficient domestic energy production." Through 2008, the high efficiency of the Company's CHP projects, reported to the EPA, produced an estimated 9,000 metric tons of carbon equivalents less than typical separate heat and power, resulting in annual carbon emissions reductions equivalent to 2,311 acres of forest storing carbon for one year or the emissions of 1,861 passenger vehicles.
As an example, a 75 kW CHP system, operated by American DG Energy, running at 100% capacity could supply offsets up to 432 tons of carbon dioxide gas each year, the equivalent of planting 118 acres of trees or eliminating the emissions of 74 cars. Over the lifetime of a typical agreement a single system could offset up to 6,480 tons of carbon dioxide gas, the equivalent of planting 1,770 acres of trees or eliminating the emissions of 1,110 cars.
About American DG Energy
American DG Energy supplies low-cost energy to its customers through distributed power generating systems. The Company is committed to providing institutional, commercial, and small industrial facilities with clean, reliable power, cooling, heat and hot water at lower costs than charged by local utilities – without any capital or start-up costs to the energy user.

Welcome to the Jackson Lodge! A wonderful rustic log home overlooking town. Our home is 3,000 square feet with an open and spacious floor plan to comfortably accommodate our guests. The entry level consists of two bedrooms (one with a king bed and the other with a trundle bed which sleeps two). This level also has a full bathroom and a laundry room.
The main level is upstairs and includes the master bedroom (queen-bed), a full bathroom with a separate shower and jetted tub, a half bathroom, an office (with a loveseat/sleeper), an extra large and open family room, dining room, and kitchen. The loft area has a free weight gym set and a trundle bed, sleeping two more. We have a total of seven separate beds.
The Jackson Lodge is decorated with high end furniture, antiques, antler art and beautiful wildlife mounts. There are plenty of windows to create a bright and airy feel and to also enjoy the wonderful mountain and valley views.
**Driveway is heated in the winter
The Jackson Lodge is a perfect compliment to enjoy the Jackson Hole area for a whole month or the entire summer and/or winter tourist season.
Cory, We really enjoyed our stay in the Jackson Lodge this past week. Your home is incredibly convenient to so many things in Jackson and very comfortable for a family. We tried very hard to keep everything nice except for the basic cleaning and washing of the sheets and towels. Thank you for all the extras that you provided--it made things so much easier for all of us. I also left a few more spices and such in the spice cabinet for whoever might be cooking next! Thanks again --we all had a great time and I can certainly see why you enjoy vacationing in Jackson. Carolyn
Cory...The moment we pulled up the drive and walked through the front door we were blown away! The photos online in no way do justice to the sumptuous yet inviting atmosphere. You really have a gift for combining style with comfort. Your personal touches and attention to detail are superb. Everything–from the first turn into the driveway to the reluctant last turn out– far exceeded our expectations! You have managed to create the perfect mountain retreat. We cannot wait to come back! Thank you!

Thank you!
Having just spent a magnificent holiday at this property, I am thrilled to say that this was a gem in Jackson and it made our vacation superb. I rarely get to see such an impeccably maintained home, let alone a rental property that is available to a non-owner. We are a very critical group and picky folks so I was ready to list things that could/should be improved upon and instead we were in awe at everything from the incredible beds and crisp sheets, fluffy towels, spotless kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, carpet, appliances, dishes, etc. I mean, everything felt new and was top of the line. There was no cost savings anywhere to be seen in this home- even the washer and dryer were of the highest quality. The decorating was absolutely amazing and felt like being in the most distinguished lodge with the various animal artwork and leather/wood comfortable furniture and antler lamps and rustic touches and yet light and airy and spotless. It was cozy while still being bright. Windows let in sunlight all day and at night we were able to watch the night sky. It was hard to leave this home for our various excursions and were always very eager to get back. The hosts are very courteous, accommodating and organized to make life as welcoming for their guests as possible.
I can't say enough about how lovely this home was and the end result being a very memorable family holiday we will never forget. Plus, I want to go back. Now that I have this resource where I know the caliber of the accommodations, I have confidence in journeying back knowing how enjoyable and relaxing my stay will be.
Anyway- I highly recommend it. I appreciate the effort put into making this property so comfortable for us. I'm recommending to anyone who truly appreciates superb lodging.
This is the best value in the Jackson Hole area.
Beautiful home with incredible space and views.
Owners go above and beyond to make your stay
comfortable. I love the Jackson Hole area, but
found myself just wanting to stay at the house and
relax on the decks. Walk to town, activities,
restaurants. We travel a great deal all over the US,
and this offering is our favorite!
Located right in the town of Jackson (seven blocks from Town Square), just a short walk to Snow King Ski Resort (two blocks), and twelve miles from Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, this property is secluded, yet provides easy access to all of the amenities that Jackson Hole has to offer.
Other Activities: kayaking, snowboarding, wildlife viewing, health/beauty spa, hot air ballooning, boating, snowmobiling, rock climbing, shopping

About the Owner
Hi and thank you very much for considering my Vacation Rental. I work for Intel Corporation as a Technical Manager and Engineer ('The Day Job' :)) but I love to branch out and do other things like investing in realestate. I meet and work with great people throughout the world through renting this great property and would not trade it for anything! I feel confident if you work with me you will have a very smooth professional experience. Thanks for your excellent consideration. Owner, Steve Laskarides.
Guestbook comments from the owner
After staying at the Lucky Beach house for the first time, we didn't think we could match our first, excellent experience. Well, after our second weekend stay at the house, our expectations were surpassed. Not only is the property remarkably clean, but it is in beautiful condition with up to date appliances and furniture. I highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a weekend get-a-way in Atlantic City.
On top of all that, the owner is extremely nice and is very helpful with communication.

Love the Lucky Beach House
Great place
great mini vacation
Excellent weekend!
The only downside was there was only the most basic cable package. We were a little disappointed we couldn't catch any of the football games this weekend, but with all the entertainment options less than 10 mins away, it didn't really matter.
HIGHLY recommend staying at The Lucky Beach House!
The Best of Both Worlds
We stayed five days and will be returning...we still didn't get to see it all!

On Tuesday, Kendall Shives put ink to his intentions to play basketball for Murray State College.
He will join MSC coach Chris McGill and his new Aggie teammates in Tishomingo this fall.
The four-year Silo starter averaged 21.4 points per game during his senior season and finished his high-school career averaging nine rebounds per contest.
Shives' list of accolades includes being named conference most valuable player, and making the Kingston and Okemah all-tournament teams his senior year.
As a junior, he made the Bryan County and Kingston all-tournament teams and all-conference.
Shives has been selected a Bryan County All-Star since his sophomore year and was named MVP this year. He also was picked as a Kiamichi All-Star.
"He is an outstanding kid," said head coach Dax Simon. "Kendall has dedicated four years to our sports programs here at Silo. It's nice to see him get rewarded for it at the college level."
Shives said he plans to focus his higher education along a path to physical therapy. In the nearer future, he will be trying to help the Rebels win another state baseball championship this weekend.

Note, your best bet for configuring Edify is to use 'Option 1' in the Update Edify screen (via the ZipThemer menu). This requires having an update.zip file on your sdcard that is known to work on your device. If you installed the current ROM via a flashable update, then use the ROM update file. You don't have to install the update, just have it downloaded and available for configuring Edify in ZipThemer.
Also, when a theme doesn't apply on a new version of the OS, it means that the Android team or ROM developers have changed the name of image files within system APKs or the names of the APKs themselves. The solution is to create a new version of the theme that contains the correct file names for the new OS/ROM. Contact the theme author and request a version compatible with your version of the OS.

Frequently Asked Questions
* Where can I get the password?
If you were asked to enter password that does NOT mean you need password for B1 Archiver.
It means that your archive is password-protected, which means that people who created that archive encrypted it with a secret password. Please check this article for most common ways to find password - http://b1.org/help/Where-can-I-get-the-password-to-the-archive.jsp
If you 100% sure that your archive is regular and not protected, but you are still asked for the pass to decompress it - please send it to email@example.com for investigation, it might be an issue with the software.
We appreciate any feedback at firstname.lastname@example.com

1. Why this app is asking for password. It's a free app after all.
Ans: The app is not asking you for password but the file you are decompressing. Some files are password protected to protect it's content from unauthorized access. You need to know the password in order to decompress the file. Extracting password protected archives are just another feature by Simple Unrar. Non password protected files will work fine.
ZIPme is a powerful tool to create update ZIP packages to install in recovery. Whether you are a ROM developer or just getting into "root" and "ROMs" ZIPme can simplify your life.
Who should use ZIPme?
If you install custom ROMs on your rooted Android device then ZIPme can be a powerful tool. ZIPme requires root access.
What does ZIPme do?
ZIPme creates ZIP packages to install in recovery mode. When you install a new ROM your system is wiped and many times you clear your data.
