Re: when you delete a photo from your iphone does it delete it from icloud back up also in response to KarbonKandy
No, however your next backup will not contain the photo as it is no longer on your phone (and iCloud only saves approx. 3 older backups so the one containing the photo will eventually no longer be available). Also, a word of caution...it seems like many users end up losing some or all of their photos when restoring to their iCloud backup. To be safe, don't rely on the backup but instead import your photos (and videos) to your computer, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

Sepia Saturday give bloggers an opportunity to share their family history and memories through photographs.
The focus this week is on buildings, specifically hotels, and corners. One photograph immediately came to mind - it was in my father's album and shows the Alfa Hotel in Luxembourg in 1944, which Dad identifies in his writing as "Gen. Bradley's HQ".
My father John Weston served in the RAF Codes & Cphers Branch, with training at Bletchley Park and Whitehall, London. He then became part of the Special Liaison unit - a team of analysts formed to scan, digest and forward key messages to the appropriate field commands
Dad was seconded to General Bradley's US 12th Army Group HQ. He landed at Omaha beach just after D-Day and advanced via St. Mere Eglise, Avranches, Versailles, Paris, Verdun and Luxembourg through to Wiesbaden in Germany.
In Dad's own words "We arrived in Luxembourg. General Bradley's Hotel Alpha was opposite the badly damaged railway station. We had a good hotel at the back and were able to buy some very good cakes in the town. I became friendly with a former member of the government [Mr Battin] and was invited to his house. He produced champagne from his cellar and served them with lovely cakes with kirsch in them" .
Visiting the continent in more happy times, these photographs bring back memories of my own holidays in Austria and Bavaria.

Hotel sign in St. Wolfgang, near Salzburg
Our hotel in Berchtesgarten. Bavaria, Germany
Hotel Alpenschlossel, Neusfift, near Innsbruck, Austria. (and I even managed to include a corner) .
One of the typically decorated hotels in Otztal - the gateway to the climb (by road I hasten to add) to the glacier village of Obergurgl,at 1,930 metres above sea level, one of the highest villages in Austria, attracting serious walkers and skiers.
We first heard mention of Obergurgl in an episode of the comedy "Steptoe & Son" where Harold was planning to go there on a skiing holiday. We thought it was a made up comic name, until we actually ended up there on a coach trip one mid June - when it snowed!
Just to show we can do flower boxes in Scotland too - below is Burts Hotel in the historic abbey town of Melrose, five miles from my home.

Bumbleride Indie Stroller Reviews
by BumbleRide
Average rating:
(17 reviews)
Bumbleride Indie is not your average jogging, all-terrain stroller. Weighing a slim 20 lbs, Indie combines the off-road ability of a multi-terrain stroller with the lean agility of an urban jogger. It features a 360 degree swiveling front wheel with a forward facing locking position. Indie is suitable for newborns and toddlers using a multi-adjustable reclining backrest. Ready to tackle any terrain,...

We received this stroller as a very generous gift from my mother in law. It handles beautifully and our daughter is comfortable in even at 8 weeks old. The only thing I wish it had is a handle bar that enabled us to be able to make her front facing or rear facing. I think she would tolerate stroller rides longer if she could see us. I know there is an infant car seat attachment option which puts newborns in a rear facing position but we don't have one (opted for a one time investment in a convertible car seat). Also the cup holder flips around all the time with a water bottle in it- I'm constantly having to pick up the bottle off the ground. For this kind of money I would rather have no complaints but I do think that we will get a lot of use out of the stroller as she grows.

The frame of the Bumbleride Indie Stroller broke when my daughter was one year old. Fist the welding in the right, the on the left a few months afterwards. As it is impossible to find a place that welds allumunium where I am, silver tape was doing the trick, but now it broke completely. Writing to the manufacturer, although they advertise that they sell spare parts, as meaning the entire frame!!! They could sell bits of the frame, it would be a lot more environmentally friendly. We know that metals are extracted at a high cost to the planet and to many people. It is outrageous for a brand that advertise themselves as they do to tell me throw your frame away!!!! Besides it does nor fold well. It is not a stroller for someone who needs to put it in the back of a car. Which was not my case (And the folding bit broke too! And I folded it less that once a month!!!!!)

We bought our Indie used and have absolutely LOVED It! It handles like a dream! Awesome for all terrain or jogging. Also it looks really nice! The only thing I don't like is that the recline is a strap recline! I wish it was a bar recline because the strap can be tricky to do and gets stuck easily. Other then that I LOVE LOVE LOVE this stroller! I just wish you can add a second seat to it! I am sad because now we will need to get a double stroller and I am not sure If I want the indie twin because it is so wide. decisions...

My wife and I were very excited with the Bumbleride Indie. It looks really cool, works with certain car seats, and folds up fairly easily. Unfortunately, the front tire just gave out one morning before the third time we had used it. In fact, the stroller is in virtually mint condition. My wife emailed Bumbleride to get a replacement tire and after some back and forth emails, they got it mailed out. Excited that our infant could once again enjoy the sporty new ride, I went to install the new tire. Everything seemed good. I went to check the pressure and proceeded to inflate the tire. I plugged in the tire pump and the wheel suddenly deflated and, in fact, the nozzle for the air pressure just sank into the tire itself. Instantly, this wheel became a dud. Bumbleride is in need of some serious quality assurance with these tires as we were very lucky this all happened when our infant wasn't in the stroller.

This stroller is amazing! I searched for the perfect stroller for a long time before opting for the bumbleride indie. It has everything I wished for, very nice design, extremely easy to maneuver, comfortable and sturdy. One detail I really like is that the handle is adjustable. One of my favorite features is that it is adapted for newborns, so you don't have to install a car seat (even though you still have this option if you want), which makes it so much easier. I think strollers in general are less bulky without a car seat on top of it. My baby was only 5.14lbs at birth and I was concerned she would be too small for the stroller, but she still fit perfectly in it. She actually looks a lot more comfortable inside the stroller than in a car seat where she looks squished and her chin rests on her chest. It also seems that there is room for her to grow and we'll be using this stroller even during her toddler years. Bottom line: definitely an excellent investment.

We've had the stroller for about a month and really love it. I wanted an all-terrain stroller but was a little wary of the large size of the BOB Revolution and Baby Jogger City series. Also thought a lot about the Baby Jogger Mini, as I loved their huge sunshade and it was a more reasonable size for my taste. In the end the Bumbleride Indie has the best of all of these. It has a great sunshade, is a more modest size versus the other all-terrain strollers I looked at, rides super smooth, great basket that is very accessible. Fits fine in our Hyundai Sonata trunk. Other good features: adjustable handlebar, supportive backrest (vs the Baby Jogger), comes with things you need to buy separately with other strollers (pump, rain cover), and has cool color choices. Cons: doesn't really have a parent or child tray, but I believe there are accessories you can buy for that, and of course, it is expensive! I personally can't believe I paid that much for a stroller, but am really happy with it! It was worth it.

This is our 2nd stroller...the one we should have got in the 1st place. LOVE IT. Here's why: - Light. Our first stroller was a Chicco travel system. So heavy. - One hand steering - really and truly maneuvers so easily with a light easy touch. - Huge sunshade (size was increased on 2010 model). It's really large and almost completely shades DS. - Air filled tires = quiet smooth ride. Solid wheels on the chicco always seemed so loud and bumpy. - Decent size basket that you can get to even with the seat reclined. Important for me as we live in the city and occasionally need to pick up a few groceries when out and about. DS is 18 months old, average sized kid, so we will be using this stroller for several years. I can't speak to how it works for an infant as we've only had it for a month. For a toddler it's great. DS is comfortable and secure and I'm much more willing to travel around the city in a stroller that's easier for me to push. Highly highly highly recommend this stoller.

We LOVE our Bumbleride. My son is 5 months old and is now riding in it without the car seat adapter. We wanted something three wheeled, but not so big and clunky that it wasn't practical. We aren't taking it off road, just down the street. It is the perfect stroller for neighborhood gravel trails or sidewalks. It probably is not a good choice it you want to do any running in it, but for everyday stroller use, its great. We got the red and it is a very nice color for boy or girl. My only complaint is the hand pump for the tires doesn't work very well, so we use an air compressor to fill them occasionally.

I researched strollers and I'm so happy with our Bumbleride. I walk daily (on trails, around the city, etc.) and have found it to be easy to maneuver. We initially borrowed a Bugaboo Cameleon and liked the bassinet for our newborn daughter, but the Bumbleride is so much easier to push around. It's easy to fold/unfold, has a bin underneath that carries a lot of things, and is easy to get to as well (the Cameleon was awkward). The only criticism I would give it is its cupholder, which attaches to the side. I solved this though by ordering the 'Cup N Stuff Cup Holder.' I'm not a big runner but have jogged a few blocks with it- it certainly could handle faster movement, however I could not!

The Bumbleride Indie functions and handles like any other hybrid/jogging stroller in that it is lightweight, effortless to maneuver, and simple to open and close but it also looks great!! Much more streamlined and "cool" than many other hybrids/joggers I've seen and it is very sleek and stylish (unlike nearly all strollers!). It was super easy to assemble and pops open and snaps closed so easily. Plus, it comes with all the "goodies" that many other strollers upcharge for: infant seat adapter, rain cover, air pump for wheels, cup holder (for mom/dad). I LOVE IT. Bonus if you care about this sort of thing: it is made by a US company, based in CA!

I had spent a lot of time researching all terrain strollers before making a purchase. The Bumbleride seemed to be the best fit based on what I was looking for. I wanted a stroller that could handle the mall and handle long walks outside. This stroller definitely handles both of that. Pros: - Easy to steer. I can steer the stroller with one handle. - Great looking. I get tons of comments from people wondering what kind of stroller it is and where I got it. - Large Canopy. The canopy really works and it has a see through area so it is over your baby you can see how she/he is doing without stopping. -Nicely designed break. The break is in the middle so it is very easy to put on and take off. I have had ones that are on each wheel and it was difficult to get them on and take them off. - Perfect size. The stroller is not terribly large like other all terrain or jogging strollers. It is also easy to get through the racks of clothes in stores at the mall. - Good basket size. The basket under the stroller is actually a fairly good size. I can fit quite a bit in it when I am out shopping. - Harness is really easy to use and it is easy to get your baby in and out. It is really a one click control as they say on their web site. Cons: - No tray for your keys, cell phone, or other items you carry. But there is a little zipper pouch in the back. - The back adjuster is a little different to use. You have to adjust it with using a pull system vs. the other stroller I had you just click it to adjust. - Snack tray is extra. I had to buy the snack tray for this stroller. - While the stroller does fold up small it is hard to fold it up right to get it locked. I have yet to figure this piece out each time. The pros definitely outweigh the cons and some of my cons I am working out and they are just adjusting the change in different strollers. I have to say the customer service on this site is what really pleased me. I placed the order on a Tuesday afternoon and the order shipped out that same day and I had my stroller by Friday. I also added additional items to my order so I would have thought that would have held it up, but it didn't. Great service is hard to find these days and Babyearth definitely has great service.

We just bought the Bumbleride Indie stroller, and both my husband and I really like it. It is very easy to fold up and to manuver(spelling?) The swivel front wheel was very important for us. It comes with a few more accessories than other stollers, namely the carseat adapter. So when we have the next baby we can use it for both kids. We also like that the handle is adjustable. It is a very smooth ride for our daughter, and the seat allows her to sit up and look around when she's awake and lays down so she can nap. I especially like the fact that is is not as long as some of the other jogging strollers and not as heavy. I am only 5 feet tall and its easy for me to fold it up and put it in the trunk of my car. Its the kind of stroller that makes me want to take my daughter out for walks more often.

Our daughter is 10 weeks old and we have been very happy with this purchase so far. Although the stroller does not completely recline, it comes close, and our daughter has been happy in it since she was 5 days old. I really appreciate how easily it steers and the wheels make it easy to negotiate cracked sidewalks, sand, wet leaves, and even a little bit of snow. We live in New Hampshire and I hope to be able to get out for walks almost year-round with this stroller. I will say that if you are seeking a stroller that easily opens and closes for portability, this may not be the best option for you, but it has worked out wonderfully for how we primarily use it.

I don't have a baby to put in this yet (any day now!) but this stroller so far has exceeded my expectations. SO easy to put together; so light and so smooth to push around. My Graco Snugride carseat fits in perfectly. I'll update the review once baby arrives and I can test it out while jogging and beaching - the two reasons we bought it.

We have a 20 month old son. He is very tall for his age and this is our 3rd stroller. The 1st one was a Peg P3 of which my son has out grown. The Maclaren Volo, the 2nd stroller, is very light weight and fold nicely for short trips. The Indy is the best...Very smooth, quiet, easy to push, and most importantly comfortable for my son's long legs with the standard foot muff for cold days. The under storage net is huge, along with many other pockets for all the kids stuff. One minor down side is the 3 wheel design. The stability of the stoller is not as solid as the 4 wheeler ones. Overall a great value for the price. It comes standard with food muff and cup holder.

This news is one of the greatest fears of Leftists and Liberal Democrats.

They will bury this story deep. If this gets out more and more inner city women will feel empowered to defend themselves and their children. Criminals will lose and the law abiding will win. That spells disaster for the left.

As others here have correctly stated to "Murder" is to take innocent life. I would throw away that Concordia Study Bible as they don't even get this right. That is what you get when you try to translate the word of God without the spirit. Many things in the scriptures are spiritually discerned. This man was not innocent so anyone would have been justified in taking his life to prevent this crime. For the state to now take his life as punishment seems to me to be justified. If the state is not justified in doing this then it cannot be justified in any war we have or will participate in.

Innocent people are saved from Rape, Robbery, Assault, and Murder everyday by followers of Christ with guns everyday. So this "Theologian" is suggesting that it would be much better to have those crimes take place and the innocents harmed? Or is he so deluded to think that taking guns from the law abiding Christian will somehow disarm the criminal? Guns will go away when the wicked are removed from the earth by fire and the righteous beat them into plowshares. Until then they are needed to defend against Satan's army.

On May 4, the following statement was posted on the UC Berkeley Confessions Facebook Page. This page is for UC Berkeley students to post confessions, especially during finals, and in the first 19 hours after it was posted, it had already garnered over 75 comments, and several "shares" and "likes."

Photos: Hundreds march, light candles at vigil for Nepal
The Nepali Student Association at UC Berkeley organized a vigil Wednesday night to raise awareness and funds after the April 25 earthquake that killed thousands and has devastated many parts of the country.
People began gathering on Sproul Plaza shortly before 7:00 p.m. after which they marched in silence to the area in front of Wheeler Hall where they lit candles and arranged them to spell "Stay Strong Nepal." The organizers then photographed the group around the candles from overhead, using a drone. They hope to use the images to bring attention to the plight of the victims of the quake.
Berkeleyside sent photographer David Yee to document the event.
Photos: Cal Day draws thousands to UC Berkeley campus
The UC Berkeley campus was teeming with life and a host of free celebratory events on Saturday for the annual Cal Day. At its core, Cal Day is for newly admitted students, but a majority of the activities are designed to appeal to the broader community. Among the highlights this year were performances by San Francisco-based vertical dance company Bandaloop who helped mark the centennial of the Campanile by, literally, jumping off its roof. (See Cal Day's full program.)
And, like any Cal event, there was a bit of politics on offer. Members of the Black Student Union blocked Sather Gate in the morning to protest the university environment for Black students. The BSU redirected visitors as a way of pressuring Cal Chancellor Nicholas Dirks to respond to ten demands it submitted three months ago.
Contributing photographer Nancy Rubin captured the day for us. … Continue reading »

'Fight for 15′ protesters march in Berkeley, Oakland

Update, 6 p.m. As per the Berkeley Police Department, "The intersection of University and Shattuck is closed due to a demonstration. It is unknown when the intersection will reopen."
Original post, 5:01 p.m. As supporters of increasing the minimum wage to $15 marched through Berkeley late Wednesday afternoon, authorities warned of traffic and delays in the area, and helicopters hovered overhead to capture the action.
"Due to a protest march along Bancroft Way, Shattuck Avenue, University Avenue, and Martin Luther King Jr. Way/Milvia Street, there will be delays and possible detours in the downtown Berkeley area tonight, April 15," according to an email alert sent by AC Transit at 4:46 p.m. … Continue reading »
'Fight for 15′ rallies planned for East Bay on April 15
This Wednesday, Bay Area workers and activists plan to take to the streets as part of a worldwide mobilization of low-wage workers demanding higher pay.
Fight for 15, a national organization launched in 2012 and funded by major labor unions, is calling for a federal minimum wage of $15 an hour. Organizers say this week's protests will be their largest action to date — and, they claim, perhaps the most widespread workers' protest in U.S. history. Over 200 U.S. cities will see strikes and workers' rallies, while sympathetic actions will occur on six continents.
Across the Bay Area, fast-food workers are preparing to walk off the job to protest low wages. These workers will form the heart of rallies and marches in Oakland and Berkeley that will also include home-care and childcare providers, industrial laundry, airport and Walmart workers. … Continue reading »
The Campanile at 100: The woman of the tower
By Gretchen Kell
The Campanile is the most distinctive building of the Berkeley skyline. It turns 100 this year and in honor of its anniversary, UC Berkeley has been holding special events. Gretchen Kell, who writes for UC's NewsService, interviewed the woman at the top of the tower.
If you've ever taken an elevator ride in the Jane K. Sather Campanile, you've probably met Lilyanne Clark. "I spend four hours in the elevator a day," she says, matter-of-factly, "and on busy days, I can make 10 to 15 round trips an hour." That's up to 60 round trips daily. It's a question she thinks she's answered nearly as many times.
There are other questions Clark prefers to answer. Having worked at the Campanile since 1993, she enjoys sharing her colorful experiences as the tower's keeper and as a Visitor Services staffer who helps show the public this iconic Bay Area treasure. Last year, more than 100,000 people took a tour, and the crowds grow annually. … Continue reading »
Hills group sues FEMA over plan to cut down trees
A neighborhood group has sued the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) following its decision to fund fire mitigation efforts in the East Bay hills.
Earlier this month, FEMA announced its decision to grant $5.67 million to the California Office of Emergency Services, which will distribute the funds to UC Berkeley, the city of Oakland, and the East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD) to remove tens of thousands of eucalyptus trees in the fire-prone hills. Immediately after, the Hills Conservation Network (HCN) filed a lawsuit against FEMA in federal court.
The HCN, a small group whose members live in Claremont Canyon, one of the areas covered by the grants, objects to the plan to "clearcut" the hills' eucalyptus trees. … Continue reading »
UC Berkeley to cut down trees in People's Park for safety
UC Berkeley plans to remove an estimated 29 trees in People's Park and prune and stabilize others next week, during the university's spring break, as part of what it describes as necessary safety and maintenance work.
The decision was taken after consultation with an arborist who identified a significant number of trees as being potentially hazardous, according to Christine Shaff, director of communications in UC Berkeley's Real Estate office. Some trees in the park, which is Cal property, have been identified as in poor health or potentially hazardous and need to be removed, the university said, while others will be preserved with thinning or with support systems.
The issue came to light at Tuesday night's Berkeley City Council meeting when one member of the public suggested UC Berkeley was going to remove all the trees in the park, as well as its permanent stage. The speaker, who did not identify himself, said he had been alerted to the proposed work by the Berkeley campus student government group, the ASUC, and he called for people to resist the move. He declared next week to be "People's Park Defense Week": "It is going to be a hardcore Occupy. It is going to be the battle for People's Park," he said. "It's going to be like December all over again." … Continue reading »

Charles Phan plans to open café at UC Berkeley
When Charles Phan was an architecture student at UC Berkeley, he spent a lot of time in Wurster Hall.
Phan left Cal before he graduated, but he is about, once again, to spend time at Wurster, as he is planning to take over the café there in the fall serving his trademark organic, international food. It will be the famous chef's first venture in the East Bay.
"I am 99%, not 100% sure," Phan said about the opening. Describing his vision for the space, he said: "You walk up, you get some food. It's affordable, it's fast. My goal is to take care of the students."
Robert Lalanne, the vice-chancellor of real estate at UC Berkeley, approached Phan many months ago about serving food at UC Berkeley. Phan is best known for the critically acclaimed The Slanted Door restaurant in San Francisco. Talks are ongoing, but both men told Berkeleyside they feel confident they will strike a deal. UC plans to redo the plaza outside Wurster Hall for the new café, said Lalanne. The building is named after William Wurster, the famed architect and dean of the Berkeley Architectural School, now known as the College of Environmental Design. … Continue reading »
Soda distributors frustrated at city of Berkeley's lack of guidance on soda tax
As the co-owner of the San Francisco-based Waterloo Beverages company, Camilo Malaver enjoyed doing business in Berkeley. But he did not want anything to do with Berkeley after voters adopted a soda tax in November.
In January, when the tax was implemented, Malaver decided to stop restocking his supply of craft sodas and naturally sweetened beverages in Berkeley to avoid further confusion.
His gripe was not against the tax itself; his frustration was aimed primarily at the city for what he saw as a poor job relaying information on how to comply with the tax. He's keen to restock in Berkeley again, but, for now, he is waiting to see how the tax will develop.
"Berkeley is a good city to do business with the university, but now, it's tough," Malaver said. "We're in limbo. Everybody's lost and [we] don't know what to do." … Continue reading »
53 trees come down on UC Berkeley land as grocery store, senior living project kicks off
UC Berkeley has begun the process of removing dozens of trees from its University Village property in Albany as work begins on a vacant lot slated for development that has been the site of numerous protests in recent years.
University spokeswoman Christine Shaff said Thursday afternoon by email that 53 trees will be removed from the property, on San Pablo Avenue near Monroe Street. Those trees will be replaced on a 2.5-to-1 basis, she added.
The project, which received formal approval last year from the Albany City Council "will bring senior housing and retail, including a grocery store, to serve nearby student-family housing as well as the Albany and west Berkeley communities," Shaff said. … Continue reading »
UC Berkeley student charged after alleged sexual assault on fraternity brother
A UC Berkeley student has been charged with two felony counts after police say he sexually assaulted a fraternity brother at their Southside Berkeley home Friday.
Berkeley Police Officer Kenneth Tu wrote in court papers that 21-year-old Jordan Schaer reached into the pants of a sleeping fraternity brother and groped his penis, according to the alleged victim. Tu wrote that the student claimed Schaer also tried to put his finger into the young man's anus.
Schaer's attorney, Kellin Cooper, said Wednesday that he expects his client to be fully exonerated of the charges against him.
"Sexual assault allegations are often times made simply by a verbal statement without any corroboration," Cooper said by email. "Unfortunately, all too often the allegations are quickly adopted by law enforcement and they become close minded to the truth and only view facts skewed toward the allegation rather than evaluate facts objectively. This is what happened here. I expect that after Mr. Schaer has his day in court the truth will come out and he will be exonerated of all charges."
The incident is alleged to have taken place at 2430 Piedmont Ave., at the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity house where both young men lived. … Continue reading »

On a crisp autumn day in 1869, San Francisco held America's first Columbus Day celebration. Italian marching bands sounded trumpets that echoed through the steel canyons of downtown, and the abundant presence of red, white, and green signaled that this parade was about more than any one man. In fact, the Columbus Day Parade has since become the Italian Heritage Parade—an annual ritual that winds its way from Fisherman's Wharf to North Beach. For some, the celebration doesn't stop there. It continues throughout the year at culinary outposts such as Nob Hill's Ristorante Milano and Pizzeria Delfina in the Mission.Read More

"There has been an increase in what people are hoping to get out of their foods," says Levine. "People are trying new products all of the time to replace missing nutrients and find new health benefits."
There are new fad foods all of the time. Right now, quinoa is highly-prized for its lack of gluten. Kombucha, a fungal tea, is sought after for its supposed healing qualities. Pomegranates, kale, brussels sprouts, and blueberries have also had recent attention for improved health, especially for supposed cancer-fighting properties. Omega-3 is very desired right now, and consumers are seeking out fish oils, including those mixed into juices and other products. Bugs are starting to come to the forefront because of their sustainability potential and high quantities of protein.
"This trend reflects deep-down insecurities about healthy living," says Daniel Levine. "We all want to live long, healthy lives. But there's only so much any of us can do to assure ourselves about longevity. The quest for super foods reflects an optimism about living that few other indicators can match."

When talking about personal finances, it's easy to get lost in the broadness of the term. For starters, it covers everything from how we budget to how we spend, borrow, save, invest and earn. In addition, it often carries the connotation of being a day-to-day thing. But if we take a step back and really take a close look at why personal finances matter, the focus becomes very clear. How we manage our personal finances matters because it is what allows us to build wealth
Why and how you should use your credit card for holiday spending
Spotlight on Finance
: According to the National Retail Federation's Holiday Consumer Spending Survey, the average person celebrating Christmas, Kwanzaa and/or Hanukkah will spend $804.42 in 2014. Many of us will at least partially use credit cards for these purchases. This article provides readers with an overview of how credit cards, if used responsibly, can be help people earn valuable rewards and better manage their holiday spending. It also provides readers with tips on how to make their online shopping experience more secure.
How to survive a financial fright-fest
Spotlight on Finance
As children, we feared the unknown. Shadowy tree branches on our walls were the beckoning, spindly fingers of witches. The settling of the house was the groan of monsters. And the wind hissing through the cracks of poorly insulated windows was the shriek of tortured souls—which surely, alone in our rooms, was a fate we could not escape

It's a fine company with a once-impressive string of earnings reports; earnings that not only grew, but grew consistently. And, its watches look good, too!
Fossil Group, Inc. (FOSL) has fallen on harder times lately, most recently in February 2015 when it warned earnings for this year and next year would fail to match the level of those in 2014. To make the future even more interesting, Apple (AAPL) has finally brought out its Watch, which some say could be a category killer (although they've been vague on which category).Continue Reading »
A topic many shareholders and clients wanted to discuss with us in 2014 was Valeant (VRX). It is the largest holding in Sequoia by far. One could argue Valeant wasted much of the year on a quixotic effort to buy Allergan (AGN), maker of Botox. Allergan had no interest in being acquired and fought a vicious and savvy public relations campaign to portray Valeant as unworthy of marriage to such a prized catch. In the end, Allergan found a suitor more to its liking in Actavis (ACT), and Actavis agreed to pay a substantially higher price than Valeant had offered.
In our opinion, much of what Allergan said was wrong but Valeant seemed unprepared for what it should have known would be an aggressive counterattack. The defenses available to the targets of hostile takeovers are considerable and Valeant has now lost three hostile bids for public companies since 2011. Meanwhile, Allergan's stock price nearly doubled over the past year without so much as a thank you note sent to Valeant CEO J. Michael Pearson.Continue Reading »
If Pirelli was a disappointment, the performance of our UK holdings in 2014 was a horror show. Rolls-Royce (LSE:RR.), our largest UK position, seems willing to destroy shareholder value in the name of diversification. Rolls-Royce has a world class business making engines for wide body jets. These engines are often sold at breakeven prices, or even a loss, but come with long-term Total Care service contracts that are quite profitable. Rolls shares a duopoly with General Electric in wide body engines and the barriers to entry for any newcomer would be formidable. Not only is the business intensely regulated, but a new player selling jet engines without an installed base of profitable service contracts likely would lose billions of dollars to capture market share from GE and Rolls. Not surprisingly, Rolls earns more than a 20% return on invested capital in civil aviation and its installed base of service contracts and strong backlog suggest Rolls should grow profitably for years to come.
And yet Rolls' board of directors decided that it wanted to diversify deeper into the marine engine and power generation businesses, competitive sectors that are being encroached by low cost Asian players. To pursue this strategy, the board appears to have pushed out a sitting CEO who had crafted the successful Total Care service contract selling model, and replaced him with John Rishton, a board member who, in our meetings with him, has shown minimal awareness of the returns on capital his acquisitions have generated.Continue Reading »
Dear Shareholder:
Sequoia Fund's results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014 appear below with comparable results for the S&P 500 Index:Continue Reading »
At Bronte we have a large position in Rolls Royce (LSE:RR.) - the UK based manufacturer of jet engines.
Rolls is a relatively simple story - Rolls is part of a duopoly in engines for wide-bodied aircraft (aircraft with two aisles like the Dreamliner, A350, A380, 777 and forthcoming 777X).
Jet engines cost a fortune to develop and are sold at a loss - but with huge out-year maintenance streams.
The maintenance is potentially very profitable. If you sell a lot of copies of the jet engine maintenance margins can get very fat.
This duopoly is almost impossible to break. Not only would a company need to spend billions of dollars before they developed a competitive engine they would then need to sell the engine at a loss for many years until the maintenance streams come on.
Moreover it is risky.
If you attach your engine to an unsuccessful plane (like say the A340) production will be a few hundred copies - and you will eat all those development costs for smaller maintenance streams and you will not get scale on maintenance. Making unsuccessful engines or attaching engines to unsuccessful planes is a good way to lose a lot of money.
Contra: if you attach your engine to a hit plane like the 777 - especially if it is the only engine choice for that plane - you will make thousands of copies of the engine and develop scale in maintenance. And that is profitable in the billions - and maybe even tens of billions of dollars range.
Rolls has had a few less than successful planes in recent years - let by the A340 but probably including the A380. (The super-jumbo is wondrously fuel inefficient.)
The bull story revolves around the A350. On paper this new plane is the most fuel efficient long-haul plane in the world - and if that is true it should - over time - receive thousands of orders. (The current order book is slightly over 800.)
On paper Boeing's forthcoming 777X is a match for the A350 in fuel per seat kilometer - but that plane is still a paper plane. It has not flown yet.
Rolls Royce is the monopoly engine supplier to the A350. GE the monopoly on the 777X.
At Bronte we spent considerable time trying to work out whether the A350 was as fuel efficient as it was claimed to be. (Other planes, notably the A380, have not met spec.)
If the A350 meets spec and does not fail on safety then Airbus will sell many more than the current forward order book and Rolls will have a super-successful engine on its hands. Revenue will more than double over time. Operating margins will probably also double. Rolls Royce stock will be a big winner.
A test flight came through Sydney and we tried to get the fuel loading statistics from the airport. (No we are not kidding. Alas the plane was refueled by Virgin Australia and not Qantas. I could not get through.) We had other methods to try and assess the numbers too.
That question really comes down to carrying capacity. The A350-900 is claimed to be able to handle 314 passengers fully loaded. No plane has yet been fitted out with more than 300 seats but some are being delivered later this year with 306 seats.
If the plane is overweight (because it does not meet specifications) then it won't be able to carry that much load. In that case the airlines would need to spread the seats out. Passengers love this (more leg room) but airlines hate it. Fuel efficiency is compromised.
Alas the plane that came through Sydney was fitted out with about 260 seats - it was really spacious. This could have been because the plane was overweight - or it could have been because they wanted the plane to appear spacious as Airbus was merely drumming up orders. We could not tell.
We finally have a definitive answer. We have discussed the matter with pilots who have seen the training manual. That includes take-off weight specs and fuel specifications.
The plane is as good as its specifications.
And Rolls Royce should be a great stock.
This is old-fashioned in-the-weeds stock research.
There is a bad bit to Rolls Royce though. It has a business in very big diesel engines - sometimes used on ships but even more pertinently used in the stabilizer motors of large oil platforms. All of this business looks pretty bad at the moment - the cycle looks bad - and the barriers to entry look far lower than the core jet engine business.
Moreover there is no A350 on the horizon - no world-beating product that should make lots and lots of money.
It is this business - and the seeming willingness of management to commit more capital to this business - that is the bear case for Rolls.
It is also really the reason why Rolls Royce stock is a bargain.
And I have never really heard a decent explanation of why Rolls has continued to commit capital here.
But now I am hearing the whispers of activism. The latest Sequoia letter is pleading for activism. To quote:
Rolls-Royce, our largest UK position, seems willing to destroy shareholder value in the name of diversification. Rolls-Royce has a world class business making engines for wide body jets. These engines are often sold at breakeven prices, or even a loss, but come with long-term Total Care service contracts that are quite profitable. Rolls shares a duopoly with General Electric Company (NYSE:GE) in wide body engines and the barriers to entry for any newcomer would be formidable. Not only is the business intensely regulated, but a new player selling jet engines without an installed base of profitable service contracts likely would lose billions of dollars to capture market share from GE and Rolls.

In contrast to its activity in the third quarter, when nearly half of its transactions involved buying stocks in companies that were new to its portfolio, the majority of Ruane Cunniff (Trades, Portfolio)'s fourth-quarter activity involved selling – including portions of five of its 10 largest existing stakes.
Ruane Cunniff (Trades, Portfolio) sold 3,659,055 shares of its second-largest stake, in TJX Companies (TJX), a Massachusetts-based apparel and home goods company, for an average price of $63.7 a share. The transaction had a -1.15% impact on Ruane Cunniff (Trades, Portfolio)'s portfolio.Continue Reading »

Like most other little girls growing up, I always dreamed about becoming a Disney princess when I was younger. My mother dressed me as Tinkerbell when I was a toddler, and I wore the costume every single day, through November, until my father made me take it off because of the stares from strangers in grocery stores and on the streets. No one could understand why this little girl was wearing a tattered lime green costume around Thanksgiving.
Walt Disney Co (DIS) has not lost its impact on society. Younger girls nowadays sing along to the "Frozen" soundtrack and beg their mothers to dress them like Princess Elsa. Disney is much more than movies and toys. The company makes sure no one forgets the movies, new or old, by creating rides at the theme parks and even putting some of the characters on cruiselines and at the resorts. Who wouldn't want to be on a ship with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse?Continue Reading »

Charles De Vaulx of the IVA Funds reported his first quarter holdings this past week. In October the IVA Funds will celebrate their sixth year in the business. The fund maintains a dual investment approach which is split into short- and long-term investments. IVA reports that their short-term (12 to 18 months) investments are in order to preserve capital while their longer term (5 to 10 years) they try to perform better that their equity benchmark. The fund also reported that over the past five years, they achieved both of these goals with their investments.
Over the past quarter Charles De Vaulx in his IVA Worldwide Fund bought no new stocks bringing the total number of stocks to 98 valued at $5.09 billion. The following five companies are De Vaulx's largest holdings as of the close of the first quarter.
What do Johnnie Walker scotch, Smirnoff Vodka, Bailey's Irish Cream and Crown Royal Canadian Whiskey have in common? They're all No. 1 brands in their respective categories, and they all belong to Diageo Plc ADR (DEO). As the world's leading producer of branded premium spirits, wine and beer (Guinness Stout), this company has built an $80 billion market capital empire leading the alcoholic beverage industry. In addition to the aforementioned brands, this firm also owns 34% of the premium champagne and cognac maker Moet Hennessy. Since investment gurus Ruane Cunniff (Trades, Portfolio) and Steven Cohen (Trades, Portfolio) bought this company's shares last quarter, I decided to take a look at its profitable business model.

Baby Onion Risotto
|For baby onions
|Baby onions
|1 Pound, peeled and halved if large (450 Gram)
|1 Pinch
|Fresh chopped thyme
|1 Tablespoon
|For risotto
|Olive oil
|1 Tablespoon
|1 Small, peeled, finely chopped
|2 Clove (10 gm), peeled, finely chopped
|Risotto rice
|12 Ounce (350 Gram)
|Red wine
|1⁄4 Pint (150 Milliliter)
|Vegetable stock
|1 3⁄4 Pint (1 Liter, Hot)
|Low fat soft goat cheese
|4 Ounce (125 Gram)
|Freshly ground black pepper
|To Taste
|Thyme sprigs
|4 (For Garnish)
|Rocket leaves
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs) (For Serving)
|To Taste
1. For the baby onions, heat the olive oil in a saucepan and add the onions with the sugar. Cover and cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes until caramelised. Uncover during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
2. Meanwhile, for the risotto, heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the onion. Cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for a further 30 seconds.
3. Add the risotto rice and stir well. Add the red wine and stir constantly until the wine is almost completely absorbed by the rice. Begin adding the stock a ladleful at a time, stirring well and waiting until the last ladleful has been absorbed before stirring in the next. It will take 20-25 minutes to add all the stock by which time the rice should be just cooked but still firm. Remove from the heat.
4. Add the thyme to the onions and cook briefly. Increase the heat and allow the onion mixture to bubble for 2—3 minutes until almost evaporated. Add the onion mixture to the risotto along with the goat's cheese. Stir well and season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with sprigs of fresh thyme. Serve immediately with the rocket leaves.

What the idiots in STV and TNG era did, writers, in universe engineering fools, or what not is not my concern. Anyone who can control gravity like the Star Trek folks can, are not going to build a lift shaft with gravity.
In-universe continuity disagrees with you.
I mean, your idea would be the intelligent one, but we have seen that the shafts have gravity, and that is how it is - untill other writers contradict it.
Didn't Redjack put the lift in free-fall? That seems to support the idea that he shaft has gravity or rather, that the entire ship has a gravity field that works as if the ship were a skyscraper on earth. So while it makes sense for the shaft not to have greavity, it behooves us to remember the original creators had neither the time nor inclination to think things through as obsessively as we do.
Once every lifetime, we're swallowed by the whale.
