Great suit
from Los Angeles

Top quality. My daughter loves her suit. She swims competitively over 20 hours a week and goes through practice suits like crazy. She loves the look of the cut out tank and it wears great- no fading and fits great!

My daughter swims for training almost every day and goes through practice suits like crazy. These suits are the most comfortable and most durable for her. She especially likes the unique and funky patterns.

I couldn't be happier about this product! I only wear Nike cut out suits nowadays because they are so comfortable, but they can get a bit pricey. I have always been skeptical of the grab bags on swim outlet because I always worried that I would get a suit I didn't like. However, I was so happy when I received a 100% polyester suit! It's perfect and an amazing deal.
Very loose in chest, sags down

I was really happy when I saw the pattern on the suit! A cute geometric pattern in black on a royal purple ish blue color. I was very pleased. Today I swam with it, and the low back was fine (I didn't know if I would like that) so that was good. But unfortunately, the front was sagging and drooping down! I couldn't change until after my 3 hour practice, and it wasn't fun swimming in that. I had to keep pulling it up, afraid it would go to low and I would flash people. I THINK THE GRAB BAG IS A GREAT THING, and I am pleased with the suit, i just wouldn't get this certain suit again. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR SUIT PREFERENCE and you should be good!
Thank you! My daughter love it!!!

The suits are a great deal. We ordered 2 for each of girls for the start of long course. The only disappoint is that one girls suit was fine with the same print in 2 different colors. The size 28 came in the same print and same color, which is also the exact same as the grab bag suit we got in the fall. We don't care what the print was ,it would just be nice if they were different! There was no option to exchange for another print.
Excellent value

After reading the previous reviews, knew to order a size smaller when it comes to Nike. The fit is still a little big in the hips (mine are narrow), but it works for the rest of my body. Although it was not a print I woud have chosen, I liked what I got and have gotten so many compliments on the suit. It was definitely worth the risk of buying an unknown print/color. And the cut out style is the best!
Great suit!

I got a really cute suit that fits great! I use my suits for masters swim practices several times a week. I find some Nike suits wear out quickly (e.g. ones with a lot of lycra) but I love the way they fit. The grab bag is a terrific way to be able to enjoy these suits at an excellent price. Also, it is fun to be surprised with the pattern - I have ordered a grab bag suit a couple times and have always really loved the patterns!

My daughter got a swim suit out of this grab bag and she loves it. It is 100% polyester and she ended up with a candy apple red color and it fits well. We will buy from the grab bag again. It is a good deal.

I bought two and both suits were a hit! Being able to narrow the grab bag down just to the cut-out back suits is great, because that's the only kind my daughter will wear. Suits fit perfectly and were in attractive designs.

As with most Nike suits, order a size smaller than usual and you should be set. I love this suit! It doesn't leave awful tan lines and is 82% Poly; as a lifeguard and instructor, I prefer the longer lasting polyester suits. I hope one day swim outlet will offer a Nike Poly Cut Out grab bag ;)

Nike suit is great however it was disappointing to receive 2 of the SAME suit & print. It would have been great to have 2 different colors sent.
Love it!

I have never ordered a grab bag suit before but i am very happy I did! Nikes are so expensive but I love practicing in them! Although I was kind of disappointed when I received a solid red suit, I was happy I did not get an ugly one! I am 5"1 and 110 pounds and normally wear a 32 in practice suits, but I always go down to a 30 in Nikes because the feel better. The fit is very nice and I love the big cut out back. Overall I am very pleased and Swimoutlet always has the best customer service! I will be getting another Nike grab bag very soon!
Great suit, great price
from NJ

Daughter wanted to try new style so for the price this was great. She usually wears a 30 practice suit but this ran big and I had to return for 28 size down. First time with a Nike suit and it doesn't disappoint.

Is it the right time to get a NEX-6?
May 27, 2013
Depsite some lacks (incamera or smarthphone based GPS, tap to focus, auto brightness LCD) I think the NEX-6 is the right camera for me.
Reading some rumors I was waiting for the NEX-7 successor because it could be better, but if in past a lineup prediction was imminent, now it is delayed to autumn.
Now I can buy a NEX-6 + 16-50mm ad € 810 VAT included. Is it a good deal? What would you do in my shoes?

Photo: Doug Pensinger | Getty Images According to Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News, Dwight Howard is focused on making the San Antonio Spurs pay for the 'Hack-a-Howard' strategy. In the most recent Spurs-Lakers matchup on April 14th, Spurs' coach Gregg Popovich implemented the 'Hack-a-Howard' scheme late to take advantage of Howard's poor free-throw shooting. Prior to the start of this upcoming playoff series, Howard issued a stern warning to Popovich and the rest of the Spurs: "If they're going to do that the whole series, God bless them," Howard said. "There's nothing I can do about it but go up there and shoot the free throws. Even if I make them, they're still going to do it. So, that's not my concern. My concern is what I can control on the defensive end and then on the offensive end, just dominate. If they foul me, they foul me. We're going to make them pay." During the regular season, Howard shot a miserable 49.2% from the free-throw line. The Lakers certainly hope his efficiency from the charity stripe increases in the playoffs. The 'Hack-a-Howard' strategy was somewhat effective in the last meeting between the Spurs and Lakers, in which Howard shot just 8 of 17 (47.1%) from the line. Despite the strategy's past success, coach Mike D'Antoni expressed similar confidence in Howard: "I'm sure they'll try it," D'Antoni said. "We worked on Dwight being evasive out there today so they couldn't catch him. But we'll just deal with it. He's going to make shots and he'll make his foul shots." Like many around the NBA these days, D'Antoni despises the rule and hopes for a change in the future: "I know when they vote, I guarantee I'll vote yes," D'Antoni said. "But the league will look at it. They look at everything, always. They just want to get it better. If it's better for the game, then great. But, it's not me to say when you have guys that they're doing it to [ban it]. I'm sure it will happen [this series], and Dwight will step up and knock them down." Whether the 'Hack-a-Howard' strategy will be implemented and actually work in this year's playoffs remains to be seen. But, if Howard can capitalize on the extra opportunities at the line, it may give the underdog Lakers an added advantage as they look to upset the #2 seeded San Antonio Spurs. The post Dwight Howard: "Spurs will pay for 'Hack-a-Howard' strategy" appeared first on Laker Nation.

On Opening Day of the 2007 baseball season, owner Tribune Co. announced it is putting the Cubs on the block as part of its $8.2 billion sale to real estate tycoon Sam Zell. Tribune Co.'s 25 percent interest in broadcast partner Comcast SportsNet Chicago also will be sold.
The Cubs could fetch "anywhere from $500 million to $600 million" from a buyer even without Wrigley, said Andrew Zimbalist, a Smith College professor who specializes in baseball economics. The Comcast stake is believed to be worth at least $50 million.
Wrigley would be expected to add as much as $90 million to the asking price. With its unique red marquee at the corner of Clark and Addison Streets and its trademark ivy-covered walls, Wrigley's value to Chicagoans goes beyond mere dollars and cents.
Yet the ballpark's landmark status limits an owner's ability to change the look of Wrigley. Tribune Co.'s efforts to expand the bleachers were delayed by intensive negotiations with the city and neighbors. Even changes outside the ballpark are prohibited by the landmark status.
With or without Wrigley Field, prospective buyers are expected to line up to purchase the Cubs. And the sale will represent a big return for Tribune, which paid only $20.5 million to buy the club in 1981.
The list of prospective buyers is expected to include well-known sports figures such as Jerry Colangelo, a Chicago Heights native who was managing partner of the Arizona Diamondbacks when they won the 2001 World Series. Also among the likely bidders is Mark Cuban, the brash technology entrepreneur who sits courtside and jaws with officials as owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team.
Yet Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, in a visit to U.S. Cellular Field on Monday for the White Sox opener, indicated he would prefer to find a local buyer.
"Whenever you can find viable local ownership, that's a good thing. A very good thing," Selig said. The Comcast investment "will probably get sold right along with the ballclub," Selig added.
White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf figures Selig will not have to look very far. "I know of seven different groups that are interested in buying the Cubs," Reinsdorf said.
Expect "some wild bidding," Reinsdorf added. "The Cubs are a premier franchise. They will go for a good number."
Local bidders may include Don Levin, the owner of minor-league hockey's Chicago Wolves who made an offer for the Cubs last fall. Andy McKenna, the septuagenarian Chicago civic leader who served as chairman of the Cubs early in the Tribune Co. ownership, is mentioned as capable of putting together an investor group. Chris Reyes, chief executive of privately owned Reyes Holdings, might consider a minority position in the Cubs, sources said.
The ballclub has a unique cachet, with a national reputation as "lovable losers" that current Tribune Co. management has struggled to overcome, spending $300 million over the past winter to upgrade the roster. The Cubs have not won a World Series since 1908, and last appeared in one against Detroit in 1945 . Yet they retain a loyal national following, setting attendance records in each of the last three seasons by drawing more than 3 million fans.
One such fan is Cliff Zeider, a 75-year-old resident of Port St. Lucie, Fla., who grew up watching the Cubs in LaPorte, Ind. These days, Zeider says, sometimes he thinks the Cubs "should just move to Japan. I am sick of this bunch of losers." That didn't stop Zeider from tuning in to see the Cubs lose 5-1 in Cincinnati on Opening Day.
Yet, Zeider doesn't entirely blame Tribune Co. "Tribune has nothing to do with it," he said. "They don't know enough about baseball to hurt anything."
Ownership of the Cubs has been a mixed blessing for Tribune Co. Among the newspaper's readers are many White Sox fans who believe the Chicago Tribune favors the Cubs because of its parent company's ownership. Even Mayor Daley sometimes chides the Tribune. In 2005, as the White Sox bore down on their World Series title, Daley scoffed at a Tribune story about the Black Sox scandal of 1919. "Why do they have to bring that up? Here [the Sox] are coming into a tough game tonight. They won't do it against the Cubs, I'll tell you that."
Tribune Chief Executive Dennis FitzSimons made reference to the Cubs' long drought while talking about the Zell sale to Tribune employees Monday. "We have one more chance in our 25 years of ownership," FitzSimons said. "Maybe the 25th time will be the charm."
FitzSimons in an interview Monday said he has fielded offers to buy the Cubs for years, and Tribune Co. management looked at the prospect of a Cubs' sale during the course of its months-long strategic review. The idea to sell the team as part of Zell's purchase process occurred during negotiations, FitzSimons said.

This also means that the court's three-way split of the plot to the petitioners — even after dismissing their cases — has kept the window open for further talks.
That the judgment is inclusive has been reflected in the reactions of political opponents. There was political acceptance of the verdict by the mainstream parties. Muslim leaders, however, made it clear the next stop was the Supreme Court even as they called it a "step forward".
Congress spokesman Janardhan Dwivedi said: "The court has given the verdict. We should all welcome it." Justice DV Sharma, member of the three-judge Lucknow bench of the high court, ruled in a separate judgment that the disputed site was indeed the birthplace of Lord Ram and the mosque was built by Mughal emperor Babar against the tenets of Islam. "Thus, it cannot have the character of a mosque," he said in the order.
The court said the area under the central dome of the three-domed structure, where Lord Ram's idol existed [and is presently kept in a makeshift temple at the same place], belonged to Ram Lala Virajman (the Ram deity).
Justices SU Khan and Sudhir Agarwal also ruled status quo be maintained at the disputed place for three months.The Sunni Waqf Board and the Hindu Mahasabha indicated they were "partly disappointed" as their cases had been dismissed, but also added that the verdict was a step forward.
The victory dance of the lawyers representing the Hindu camp began cheering for their side even before the judgment came."We have won it," declared Ranjana Agnihotri, counsel for one of the defendants, Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati, Shankaracharya of Dwarka.
Reactions from the Muslim side, especially the Wakf Board, were mildly negative. But though the board announced it would go to the apex court, it mentioned categorically that it was open to talks.
The Congress and the Hindu right — the RSS, the BJP and the VHP — welcomed the judgment.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said it's not a victory or loss for any party but made it clear the verdict paved the way for building the promised Ram Temple.
BJP leader LK Advani also said, "The verdict is a significant step towards building of a grand temple."
Nritya Gopal Das, president of Ramjanmbhoomi Nyas, went a step further: "We will go into the appeal that if the court has accepted it as the Ram Janmabhoomi, the entire land should be given for the temple."

General Discussion « TERA
Seems that En-Masse received an rating of an F from BBB and Frogster a D.
There were plenty screw-ups done to the game, but I strongly feel these two companies gated their players more than anything. The multi-player status they were trying to gather from the greed of Blizzard franchise gold-rush has failed to be impressed. Rather than sticking to the original concept of the game and adding it, and shaping a few mechanics for a more pleasurable experience they chose to ignore their fans and strip the game down until the server merges and the numbers of players dropped.
Tera had potential but the game was ultimately mishandled and cut short of what it could have been. A M-rated game has fairly been treated as a T-rated one. I've seen much worst in Age of Conan that deserved the M+-rating then what Tera offered by some standard fan-service and a corspe or a blood dungeon. Secondly the Tera community has been filled with mostly a strong stigma of racism and biased attitudes. Something that should not be in a temporary MMO game. It's a sad sight to see Tera filled with the worst cesspool of players around and the most racist and judgemental types.
Regardless of the decisions made for Tera it has also opened my eyes to the Comic Code type biasm problems carried by the MMO industry. Unfortunately due to such biasm these are two companies that I will not be supporting with my wallet on any possible future titles published under them. But also judging by their BBB rating and from experience, they weren't that good to began with.

TERA: Big Plans for the Fall
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion
More cash-shop, teases, and a surprise returned of lost crafting will not do much to improve the sinking ship this game is headed towards (and half-way there). They've already added Free-To-Play GM-Events that plenty MMO's without a subscription have. The game been handled around poorly by both publishers(including the now merged GameForge aka Frogster) and majority of players have left.
The game is simply not worth the subscriptions or impulse-buy cash-shops of the same aim and hit combat that can be found on older MMO's such as Dungeon and Dragons, Vindictus, or Dragon-Nest or Monster-Hunter.
Will defiantly be looking foward towards Blade and Soul, whom is actively communicating with their fans right now and promises that they will not be censoring their product(or insulting potential customers) but providing the best experiences and content for their players(and no boring grind-fests).
Tera may get a bit content here or there but ultimately it's being handled by the same guys who chose to selectively ignore their players since launch in a now last-minute save (or future F2P set-up).

This will probably be my last post on this game as flaws have been pointed out numerous times. Sad to say while Tera and it's Publishers aim to milk as much cash off of desperate players as much as possible, other vendors aim to keep their players and game as stable as possible in the long-run. Do check the video-link down below.
Pretty much sums up Tera's Handling. How long will En-Masse fool players with their fluff PR angles? Once again any mentions of en-masse mishandlings on this game are being locked in multiple "Server Merge Threads" on their forums now.

One of the problems with Tera too was how elitist,snobby, and somewhat callous the community is. Ontop of those for whatever reason wanted to seek as much attention and back-rubbing social "recongnization" from a video-game as possible. Besides the horrendous amount of trolls that were running about during February of the Game's Launch. Combine that with people's real-life drama dragged into the game and it's more poison to the kettle that's been allowed and fueled as a poor game environment by En-Masse Entertainment.
The game has been more focused on social pressures than those who wanted to play a game to enjoy it fully.
It's one of the reasons why others have left the game long time ago too. No one wants to stick on a game for long if they feel they are paying a game to be nagged or harrassed or frustrated for stupid things.
Combine that with a company that heavily moderators their forums for anything exposing the problems with Tera(yet surprisingly never bans the people who frequently go out their ways to insult others on the forums, and those who think they have a right to harass players who chosed to play an elin because the character got censored by publishers. I've literally seen players being labeled as "Trash"for choosing to play a race in a product they purchased and EME did nothing about it but sit quietly and allowed it while making sure those elin players were severly censored in both game-play and forums)
The company also tends to ignore it's players over a 6-month span except with selective "Feedback" (in other words those who wanted to turn Tera into the next Blizzard, or how Tera should be like Swtor or Rift. Sadly the same could be said for Tera Publisher as Blizzard was their competition.). Then marketing blunders. Made MMO-Fo ads that served more mock people from their own games and bully them into playing Tera with a bald-headed guy beating up wizards (lol). Some amature handlings and poor decision makings that left some people angry at the company because what En Masse said was perceived as "sterotype-labelings" if you lived outside the U.S. for the reason not to play the game.
You get a game that will gradually kill itself off from it's own internal bleeding.

Wow they really screwed up. Many accounts lost due to hacking
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
When Online Game Companies get hacked, the hackers and gold-botters keep the information that was obtained for years.
A new anticipated game comes out, they use programs that scans and probs down a list to see who they got from prior hacked games. If they find a matching email or an account using the *same* password then they got that person's account. It's always good to change e-mail and password frequently on these MMO websites as well as not using the same emails or passwords for different games too.
MMO sites aren't very secure to began with(and a lot of other sites aren't either, unfortunately with all the hacking incidents that have occured in the past) and as technology becomes more sophisicated you will have a criminal element that increases with it.
It's one of the main reasons I use Game-Cards for MMO's rather than CC methods of paying for a game or in-game products.

I hope some "gamers" out there realize and understand that these games like this aren't just specifcally built for a certain "gaming protocol of people" assumed to be the only types that are allowed to game on MMO's and no one else is. There are more minorities coming to play games (and even making the games, notice how most MMO's on the markets are made by Koreans! Even Arena.Net's parent company is NcSoft) more than what acknowledgement has been given.
Arena.Net wants to keep Guild Wars 2 as T-friendly as possible too.
Is the 3-days bans long? Perhaps but at the same time hopefully it'll weed out people who more often than not garbage-dump on games and the immaturity that goes along with it.

En-Masse still hasn't fixed their CheckSum Errors(besides a generic support topic) that been happening since Launch (February) and the issue is coming up once again for players now. So those who go to download the game may have to re-download a whole day or two's worth of a heavy GB all over again.
Also Nexus was horribly laggy and much bleeding from the servers(I question exactly what servers are being used to host this game to cause such lag) last time. A lag-spike would occur when Nexus was turned on across the servers.
Battle-Grounds may simply won't be enough to pull TERA out of it's slowly slumping medicore grind entertainment. It's a game that tells players "hit level 60 and that's where the fun begans".

Besides the constant cash-grab hit-and-runs and the greed(half-done games, ignoring,player-feedback which is paying for the game(It's free Debugging from the consumers!), over-all lazyness, poor-management, ect) doesn't help much either.
Games once use to be entertainments that were played for fun with the players in-mind. But more and more i've seen our games being turned into PR Hollywood Pillars than anything else. Their looked at now as big-cash cow tanks to rank in as many people as possible in a initial money-hit, rather than focusing on elements that made games fun in the first place that would draw people to the games(and keep them over-time). That's why today there's still some SNES games out there now that are considered "cult hits" as old as they are compared to these recent MMO type flops.
Players just aren't coming out in bee-hives as much throwing money at these games anymore. They have jobs to work, some of them have lost their jobs. Some of them aren't getting that spend-spend money that they once gotten before. The game-industry is no longer a place where real gamers gathered to play games and made them.
It's becoming a little more apparent the game-world is now turning into a disfunction of real-life politics and corporation greed. Why should a player continue to invest money in companies(bad reputation) or games(poorly made) that are unsatisfory that's asking for more and more money? Hahaha!
TSW on Steam(when it was suppose to be one of those glorious "P2P" good games) already means that this game is on it's way out in the loosing streak. Just because it has P2P slapped on it doesn't actually mean the game is good!
TERA: Layoffs Reported at En Masse Entertainment
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion
I feel that this publisher has been way too harsh on this game to began with and chocked the life and fun from it.
The way the Elin was being handled and censored was beyond ridicolous. I had fellow friends who were Otaku's who were literally clumped into an god-forsaken aweful category and dismissed by En-Masse Entertainment under the deogratory and accusing terms "Pedophiles" for just wanting to play a cartoon character inside a video-game.
Their sick of being mislabeled as customers for fictious games and characters and I wouldn't have felt no different. Shame some players out there vultured off the elin as a reason to go around attacking other players who simply wanted to play the video-game.
Followed by the constant attacks on the forums by those who just simply hate Korean Games and Anime to began with.
En-Masse Entertainment should have left TERA the way it was and embrace the fans who liked the game in the first place. Instead they went out their way trying to please a bunch of players off of Warcraft and League of Legends.
So what do those players do after they burned through TERA, made LFD an elite tool of mockery, and generally bash and bash and bash anyone who was an Otaku on those forums with nasty social attitudes?
They leave. And go to another game, unsatisfied that the game didn't give them all their "Western" raids, and "Content". And it's En-Masse's fault for advertising the game as "Westernized" in the first place and falling flat on it's face in the process after the initial hype wore off.
Felicia Day shows us her tight box. (And that IS what she said.)

This Felicia Day person is not someone I would say be on the level of popularity like Lady Gaga. I would supect besides from some fans she's just a minor actress(or a youtuber) voicing some game characters in GW2.
ArcheAge Will be Censored in West?

Strange. I can still go to Gamespot and pick up HyperDimensionMK2, not to mention listen and watch a bunch of animes such as Dance in the Vampire Bund, Chobits, Strike-Witches and MoonPhase as licensed entertainment in the United States of America. Yet none of these games or medias have been censored, or banned. Yet TERA has been censored for the same exact content substance as the following titles above.
I believe this is where Culturally Offensive is a term thrown over to wash that fact that these games and characters exist and they have been for quiet some time. Fan-bases and genres which have been deemed as "niche" by this exclusive World of Warcraft MMO publishing company (less than a year old) and to please those who have problems with fictional entertainment along(busy bodies, people who don't have a problem shooting brains and guts all over the place but the moment an anime character comes along they freak out. But at the same time it's still okay to bash and hit those "little girl" characters in their skulls and bodies with over-sized swords and axes and burn them with fire.) with the exclusive world-of-warcraft casual attitude that goes along with gaming.
En-Masse Entertainment wanted casual players from World of Warcraft to play their game badly. They wanted to those numbers. It's their competition So they went out there way not only insulting Otakus on a generally asian-created game themed around moe characters and elements often seen in anime and manga, but also made political moves and statements that could now possibly affect up-coming titles for the rest of consumers in society who don't drag real-life into their gaming/entertainment worlds. The "main-stream" North American companies are stuck in World of Warcraft mode. And whatever does not fit in that profit formula of Warcraft is easily discarded. Sometimes the companies themselves are full of politics or personal dislike. En-Masse Entertainment had made sure to chase off potential elin-players at any given opportunity as well. Hence removing and deleting all the elin topics on the forums at any time as if warcraft is the only acceptable way of gaming. They made it as if asian games are almost a mistake to exist while other game companies show a more relaxed attitude about asian games.
I wouldn't go by nessecarily what a MMO company has done to a video-game as the standard determination of what should be and should not be considered fictional entertainment.
Controversy has always arise in video-games. When Mortal Kombat came out parents were freaking how the game was "too violent" and were trying to get it banned. Now compared to current games Mortal Kombat is a joke. Even the current God of War franchise is being affected now.
Freedom of expression is inetiviable in this Country's Fondation. Take that away and it ends up affecting everything around it. Even with titles that have become cult-hits such as Madoka Magica simply because of the existance of the character.
You have people in this country that are still offended by homosexuals(Chik-Fil-A for instance). Does that mean EA must suddenly stop creating their games with these characters because there are those out there who'll be offended? What about those who are offended by the amount of violence in video-games? Should games stop being violent because someone is offended(no more blood, no more head-shots, no more exploding bodies and screaming npcs)? Should fictious Anime be banned or censored mindlessly because someone is offended(even with the standard ratings)?
No, it shouldn't just happen at the flick of a wrist. And MMO companies shouldn't be the determination of that as a whole.

On May 21, we issued an updated research report on
Amerisafe Inc.
). The company has been benefiting from strong core fundamentals
and diversified portfolio initiatives over the past couple of
years. However, declining investment returns and moderated growth
in premiums raise concern.
This Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock has delivered positive earnings
surprises in 2 of the last 4 quarters with an average beat of
14.2%. The company's first-quarter earnings lagged the Zacks
Consensus Estimate by 11.1% but was higher than the year-ago
quarter number by 19.1%.
After posting mid double-digit growth in premiums written for
the 12 consecutive quarters until fourth-quarter 2013, these
toned-down to about 8% growth in first-quarter 2014. Moreover,
although investment income stabilized, investment yield
deteriorated to 3.8% at Mar 2014-end from 4.2% in the year-ago
period. The higher trend of expenses and lack of any near-term
growth catalyst are the other challenges.
Nevertheless, operating leverage continues to remain strong as
reflected by improved underwriting results, development reserves,
combined ratio and return on equity (ROE). These pillars of growth
also support Amerisafe's liquidity, as evident from its strong cash
flows and risk-free balance sheet.
We believe that Amerisafe's efficient deployment of excess
capital, particularly, hiking regular cash dividends by 50% within
a year of the payout initiation, along with the first extraordinary
cash dividend payout of $0.50 per share (all in Mar 2014) will keep
long-term shareholders invested in the stock.
Overall, a restrained risk-reward balance in the near term has
led to negative estimate revisions for 2014 and 2015. As a result,
the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2014 and 2015 are pegged at $2.47
and $2.98 per share, down 7.8% and 7.2%, respectively, in the last
30 days.
Key Picks in the Sector
Currently, we prefer to remain at the periphery regarding
Amerisafe. However, some top-ranked stocks in the insurance sector
such as
AmTrust Financial Services Inc.
OneBeacon Insurance Group Ltd.
) and
HCI Group Inc.
), all sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), are worth

NATURE | River of No Return | This Unexplained Companion | PBS
Duration: 01:39
Program: Nature #2911
Broadcast Date: Apr. 9, 2012
A pack of wolves isolates an injured elk on a ridge. Then, something remarkable happens. A companion appears and puts herself between the wolves and the injured elk. Central Idaho's Frank Church -- River of No Return Wilderness is the largest contiguous wilderness area in the lower 48 States. Endless rugged mountains, wild rivers, forests and deep canyons define this land — home to numerous species of wildlife, including wolves, who have just returned after 50 years of near absence. A young couple, Isaac and Bjornen Babcock, chose this wilderness for their year-long honeymoon. But what begins as a romantic adventure becomes something much greater for the couple — and a tale of hope and celebration for every life trying to make it in the unforgiving heart of the wilderness. "River of No Return" premieres on PBS Wednesday, April 18, 2012 at 8pm and is part of the 30th season of the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series produced by Thirteen in association with WNET.ORG for PBS.

text: on Mar 12, 2013 @ 10:31 AMMar 12, 2013 @ 10:31 AM Published Belgrade wants international guarantees for Kosovo SerbsSerbia wants a political accord with international guarantees for ethnic Serbs living in Kosovo and is ready to sign such an agreement, Prime Minister Ivica Dacic said Tuesday."Serbia is ready for a political accord with international guarantees (with Kosovo) as it would eliminate the danger of armed conflict in the region," Dacic told reporters after Monday's talks with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton in Brussels.The ongoing EU-backed talks between Kosovo and Serbia have reached an impasse as Belgrade wants the establishment of an association of Serb municipalities with "executive powers" in the breakaway territory, a demand Pristina has rejected."If Pristina accepts (such a solution), I am ready to sign" the accord, Dacic said.Dacic said that Kosovo Serbs should have "decisive influence" on security and justice issues in the areas where they make up a majority. Northern Kosovo is home to some 40,000 Serbs who, like Belgrade, reject Pristina's unilateral declaration of independence in 2008."We do not talk about legislative, but executive authority," Dacic said.He warned that he was not too "optimistic that the agreement will be reached.""I am ready for a compromise, but for now, I do not see that Pristina is ready to modify its stance as it enjoys US support," Dacic said."The ball is now in Pristina's court," he added.Late Monday, Ashton met with conservative Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic, Dacic and his deputy Aleksandar Vucic, to discuss progress reached so far in the talks between Belgrade and Pristina."I stressed the importance of reaching agreements on the open issues between the two sides as soon as possible," Ashton said in a statement.Ashton is to visit Pristina on Thursday for talks with top Kosovo officials.Improved relations with Kosovo and concrete progress in EU-backed dialogue between the neighbours are key Brussels conditions for Serbia to be given a date to start EU accession talks.Since October, Dacic and Kosovo Premier Hashim Thaci have been inching towards a solution over a number of sensitive issues that are burdening daily life in the breakaway territory.Serbia lost its influence over Kosovo after a NATO bombing campaign in 1999 stopped a crackdown by Belgrade forces on the independence-minded ethnic Albanian majority there.Belgrade has pledged it will never accept the independence of Kosovo, already recognised by more than 90 countries, including the United States and most EU member-states.ks-an/mfp

To call insurance agent Tim Lippe (Ed Helms), "naive" is a gross understatement. He's never left his small hometown. He's never stayed at a hotel. And he's never experienced anything like Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Sent to represent his company at the annual insurance convention, Tim is soon distracted by three convention veterans (John C. Reilly, Anne Heche and Isiah Whitlock Jr.) who will show him the ropes and push his boundaries. For a guy who plays everything by the book, this convention will be anything but conventional.

Does running RUNQRY and specifying a file or files different from the
one(s) you used to define the *QRYDFN - does that cause this effect?
On 1/24/2014 1:21 PM, Gerald Kern wrote:
To search the queries we issue a DMPOBJ OBJ(YOURLIB/YOURQRY)

So we ran this utility last night it reported a file name being

only one file used in the file selection, and that file didn't have

So we are kind of stumped as to why the dump shows a file being

perhaps an earlier use where maybe the file name seen in the dump
was used in this query? <<SNIP>>

A great classic games film. Reminds me of my past.

Dig the opening game; infinitely superior to what was in the previous. Love the overall feel of this animation as compared to the first. The puns this time are kept to a minimum and it focuses more so on the characters and less on the fact it's video game characters parodied to match Star Wars.

Legislation introduced in Congress by U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan and U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown would provide $350 million in federal money over three years directly to 30 cities impacted by major population loss and high unemployment, such as Youngstown, for property demolitions, creating green space and city planning.
The legislation would have to pass in both the House and Senate and then be signed by the president before becoming law.
"Cities like Youngstown in my district that want to pick themselves up and begin growing again need help getting started," said Ryan of Niles, D-17th. "These funds and these programs would help cities become leaner and give them a chance to be competitive again in our national and global marketplace."
The Community Regeneration, Sustainability and Innovation Act would provide $100 million to 10 cities annually — half with populations of 150,000 and greater and rest with populations under 150,000 — for the demolition of vacant buildings, removing bad infrastructure and creating new green space.
The bill would also provide $25 million in 2010 and $12.5 million in 2011 and 2012 to those same cities for urban renewal planning.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development would select the cities; 10 a year for three years beginning in 2010.
"It would provide a significant boost to Youngstown and cities like Youngstown," said Youngstown Mayor Jay Williams of the bill. The legislation hits "the nail on the head to provide assistance to cities with demolition and green space issues."
For the complete story, read Thursday's Vindicator or Vindy.com
Wow this is news! I must admit that I am happily shocked to hear that amidst all of his blogging & facebooking, Rep. Ryan actually introduced something that will help the valley.
Kudos Mr. Ryan, even if it doesn't pass I'm glad you finally did something for Youngstown. Let's just hope it doesn't take 6 more years for your next accomplishment...
It's about time Tim Ryan did something to help our valley. He's been hanging real close to Pelosi and the other Democratic cronies for the past 18 months trying to maneuver himself into a power position - he must figure he needs to get busy for his run for re-election. Hopefully the folks here will realize that while Tim was once full of promise, now all he does is offer empty promises.
I'm not a huge Ryan fan, and i haven't voted for him, but I just hav to correct a couple of errors. First, the last thing he's worried about is his reelection. That's an automatic. If he runs, he wins. Second, as distasteful as I usually find Pelosi and the Dem leadership, if Ryan is going to accomplish ANYTHING, he needs to be in a position of influence. Old Sunny Jim may have made many of us feel good, but he was a BUST as a Congressman because he couldn't work and play well with others.
There are some good points and some bad points to this bill. It seems like all this plan will do is clean up the place. The criminals without jobs or educations will still be there, and so will the people without jobs. And as far as city planning goes, lets just say if you hand money over to those idiots to "plan" anything, it will be a complete waste of time and money. What will they plan that couldnt be planned with no money at all....I just don't understand how so much money can be spent on the "planning" process. To me that just sounds like a way for the cronies in Youngstown to get paid to sit around with their friends and eat well and BS on the taxpayers dollars and call it "planning" or "a development meeting". I believe if they want a city with a plan, then offer an open forum to people who have legitimate ideas for the development of the city and its land. The open forum will develop ideas that might actually help the community, and not the business that prepares said "plan". Obama keeps talking about taking responsibility for our communities, well why are the politicians permitted to make more than the average salary of their constituents? Remember when the real politicians used to do things because it would help the community? Now they just wait and do the bare minimums when they need to so they can stay in office and keep collecting that hefty check. That said, I would like to know if anyone out there knows what the current mayor makes yearly. Anyone?
Ryan is a politician - not a thinker or problem solver. We shouldn't expect more than is there. He was taught by the local masters to grab earmarks and that is all he does. He doesn't think about nor understand long-term solutions. I wonder if he has heard that earmark chasers are becoming an endangered species?
To Youngstown_Strong's "amidst all of his blogging & facebooking" comment: I'm sure Tim Ryan checks his Facebook to keep in touch with constituents (which is a GOOD thing), but do you think he sits there on the computer all day? Of course not, he has a staffer dedicated to online communications. I love the fact that the Congressman has a Facebook and a blog that updates us on what he is doing in Washington. If all politicians did that we would be a lot better off.
Boardmanneedschange, I think you are the one that needs change, at least towards your attitude about the people running the city of Youngstown. Obviously we face a lot of problems in our city. But you say, "if you hand money over to those idiots to "plan" anything, it will be a complete waste of time and money", you must have been busy typing that post this weekend when 7,500 people were packed into the City of Youngstown's Chevrolet Centre which received acclaim from media across the globe.
Drink you beverages half full people, not half empty.
Yeahh commoncents, earmarks (MONEY FOR OUR COMMUNITY) sound like something we really don't need in the Valley......get real.
super. So sporting events are the answer to the Valley's problems. I guess you solved that. It only took 25 years in between boxing matches for that plan to work. My problem is the lack of FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY in the area. I know of no "plan" that will turn the valley's politicians, city council, township board of trustees, or anyone else who likes to blow money on relatives and short term answers into Fiscally Responsible people who will SACRIFICE to help the community. All of these so called "decision makers" are too worried about their political careers and how they can get a bigger political paycheck than what can help their communities. We need leaders who aren't worried about moving to Columbus or Washington. We need leaders who want to thrive here and stay here to assist the people they represent.
Pardon me for not having a happygolucky sunny attitude about the valley, but it seems to me that the people who actually get things done are those who believe that things can always be better, and work hard to find the flaws in any situation, good or bad, and try to see that they don't happen again.
Incidentally, I am very happy that people like Kelly Pavlik support Youngstown and try to bring events like that here. I fully support showing Youngstown in a positive light, but those who are working towards the goal of making this a thriving area that can once again flourish need to look at the area as half empty in order to get things done. If no one complains about the problems and offers criticism, nothing will ever change and this place goes to the dogs.
Your are very right, people need to complain. As I said, we have a lot of problems.
But I can not agree with you that anything the people running Youngstown do is a complete waste of time and money.
No, Sporting events are not going to fix all of Youngstown's problem, but sporting events that bring close to 10,000 people to spend money at our hotels, restaurants, bars, and other establishments are a hell of a start and provide much needed revenue.
There is a university full of engineering majors and businesss majors that would be willing to assist in any planning process for the experience they would need for their post college job hunt. The possibilities to save the earmarked monies from the government to actually put the plan to work would seem to be a better plan. Hiring consultants at a pretty penny just seems like a waste of money for local governments when the experience of assisting a community and furthering the ease of college to career can be bartered for a simple resume builder. Leave the consultants to "assist" the "planning process" of the private sector companies instead of overcharging a city that already is in the red. This is just one example of how win /win situations can be implemented to help the communities thrive. These are simple ideas and plans that just need a leader to put them into action.
"provide $350 million in federal money over three years directly to 30 cities"
HUD will select the cities IF and when the bill is passed, 10 a year for 3 years so there is no guarantee Youngstown or Warren would see a dime.
Another worthless bill that the area will probably not see the benefits of.
I agree with several of the posts above-glad to see he figured out how to author a bill (even if it was probably Brown who came up with it)
Unreal how a conveersation can start on a story and the vindy buries it with the same story lust a different headline. What a joke.
Have to agree, although i have voted for tim ryan in previous elections, i feel he has spent most of his tenure manuvering into a more politically stronger position and and has somewhat succeeded with aligning closly with nancy pelosi. yet having been assigned to the appropriations commitee i feel the effort for the people of the vally has not been something i would include on a resume. i will not vote for him again and urge people to do the same unless he does what we put him there to do and thats help and better the communities that trusted him and elected him. quit using politics as an excuse and get something done
steelerbill i haven't voted for him since his second election bid. i see his pie in the sky earmarks just smoke screens to make him look like he is doing something for the Mahoning valley residents. jimbo did more for this valley by accident then on purpose but he never was a b.s.er like "prettyboy timmy".
"$100 million to 10 cities annually — half with populations of 150,000 and greater and rest with populations under 150,000"
What on earth makes you think we will be one of the FIVE cities chosen? Just because the pork brothers drafted the bill is no guarantee ANY city in OH will see a dime.
Pipe dreams and 15 second sound bites - that's what both these jokers live for.
What exactly is this money going to do? Make a poverty sicken city look nice? It seems that Ryan and Brown are jumping on the Obama bandwagon to spend friviously.
We don't need money dumped into the black hole of other government agencies. We need money for job growth and building up our manufacturing base. What happens in a few years after this money is spent? We will have a huge debt to pay with nothing to show for it!!!
Not quite true baboo.........we'll have empty lots in Ytown to show for it. LOL
With all the vacant buildings out of the way, won't the stray bullets travel farther? Those buildings actually serve a purpose by protecting occupied buildings from getting hit.
Excellent point Boardman -- wish I'd thought of that! LOL

Allied Steel and Conveyors, Inc. v. Ford Motor Co.
United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit277 F.2d 907 (1960)
Ford Motor Co. (Ford) (plaintiff) entered into a purchase agreement with Allied Steel and Conveyors, Inc. (Allied) (defendant) that required Allied to perform installation work at Ford's premises. A July 26, 1956 amendment to the original agreement submitted by Ford to Allied seeking to order additional machinery contained a broad indemnification clause and stated that the agreement was not binding until acceptance, and that acceptance should be executed on an acknowledgment copy and returned to Ford. Allied executed the acknowledgment copy on November 10; however, Allied had already commenced installation of the additional machinery when an Allied employee, Hankins, was injured due to Ford employees' negligence on September 5. Hankins sued Ford and Ford impleaded Allied seeking indemnification. Allied argued that the Amendment was not in effect at the time of Hankins' injury because Allied had not yet accepted in the manner required by the amendment. At trial, judgment was entered for Hankins against Ford, and for Ford against Allied. Allied moved for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, but its motion was denied, and Allied appealed.

I had recently wanted to dye my hair purple, so i bought purple haze the first time dying it over mostly unbleached hair (i had an ombre and wanted the purple to have an ombre effect as well if at all possible). The color was really nice but faded within a week, but I figured it was because I didn't really bleach beforehand. So then on my mission for great purple hair, I did this thing called a bleach bath, it's really gentle and lightened my hair up quite a bit I would definitely recommend. Anyways, after that was done my hair was a really light coppery color (which was expected because I had red hair to begin with) and so I mixed the colors ultra violet and purple haze together for the perfect shade I was looking for. I left the dye in for almost 5 hours and after I washed it out I could see the purple tint on it but it wasn't the concentrated color I was hoping for. It did, however condition my hair sooo much, my hair now feels the same as it did before I bleached it. It has been 2 weeks now since I dyed it and I have managed to wash my hair only 4 times, really trying to keep it to a minimum because it does get a bit costly to have to keep repurchasing dye. After the second wash, however, the color had lost all of its vibrancy, and now after the fourth wash it's a very washed out color, pinkish in color almost with more of a purple tint towards the ends of my hair. I am really disappointed with how short-lived the color was, I expected more from a product that is popular among those who dye their hair crazy colors. Definitely not getting manic panic next time.

I use Manic Panic Ultraviolet in a DIY leave-in mix to neutralize brassy color in my level 10 colored hair. I add about 1 teaspoon to approximately 16 oz leave-in conditioner (YMMV) and usually use after I wash my hair although this can be used on dry hair as well.
Lightweight, watery leave-ins like Infusion 23 work best for me. This method is more effective at getting rid of unwanted gold, orange tones than using purple-toned shampoos or rinse-out conditioners (although the dye can be added to those as well). I haven't experienced any dye transfer to clothing or bedsheets, probably because the concentration of pigment is relatively low. However, I usually limit use to once a week because the dye can build up in your hair to show definite purple tones, but a clarifying shampoo usually takes care of that.

This color was mistaken for blue the day after I used it. In certain lighting, it does appear quite blue, but outside, it's a beautiful shade of purple. I've used purple shades in the past that were more or less a deep burgandy that faded to a copper. This however is a blue toned color. Even when it fades I like the different shades I get. I use this on my clean, dry ashy blonde hair, cover with a plastic cap for an hour then rinse. This color bleeds waaaay less than other temporary dyes. I've used splat and had to walk away from the sink after 5-10 minutes because the color would not stop running out. Ultra violet only takes about a minute for the water to run clear. A couple of tips, this stuff stains! And even though I place all the stuff I'll need on paper towels, I still manage to get a big blobs on my sink . Because I didn't want to touch my doorknob or cabinets, I tried rinsing the stain soon after spilling and then rubbing my toothpaste into the stain. It lifted it better than my bathroom cleaner! It was a whitening toothpaste. I also buy high quality black latex gloves from the home improvment store. I always seem to rip the thumbs of the cheaper gloves. I also use a toothbrush to apply the dye. I can get very close to my roots without giving myself a purple scalp. I buy the cheapest ones I can find. I paid under $4 for a pack of 6. As far as keeping the color looking bright, I've heard of people adding some of the color to their shampoo and conditioner. I just don't wash it for the next 5 days or so. I still rinse it and don't notice purple water unless I am washing it. Hasn't stained my tub either. Paid about $12 for a 4oz bottle. It also comes in a little tub for the same price for the same amount.

This is a very popular product, and I can understand why. It's a beautiful blue-toned violet that rinses out very quickly. When I first used it, it turned a dark royal blue. After washing it, it was a lovely violet color. After a few more washings, it faded quickly. It went from royal blue to violet to a lighter violet to a grey lavender blonde color. This is a lovely color, but I just wish it lasted longer. (I haven't tried the amplified formula, though.) The little pot packaging is very cute and easy to use and store. And you get a good amount of product for the price, relative to other direct dyes. I've used this on a medium golden blonde base, and the yellow tones didn't make the coloe look muddy at all. My results were gorgeous and very vibrant.

I make my own toning conditioner as my dark blonde ombre hair goes very golden during the summer. I mix a cup of conditioner to a teaspoon of Ultra Violet and leave it on damp clean hair for about 15 mins. It leaves my hair silky and I get better results than any purple toning conditioner I have used. Just watch you don't mix it too strong or it will make you lavender. I find using a silicone free conditioner in my mix works best.

I bleached my hair and then dyed it with purple haze Splat hair dye. The color turned out uneven and a more of a pink color. I then decided to use Ultra Violet Manic Panic hair dye and the color at first was beautiful. But now (three washes later) it's no longer bright. It's more of a dark pastel. It's a good product but does not last long. Don't use it unless you intend on buying it again and again to keep it the color you want.

I've been using manic panic for 13 years. I love it. I've tried raw, special effects, hot topic brand. None compare. Some may last longer, but aren't nice to my hair. I have tried all the blue, pinks, and purples they offer. I always come back to ultra violet. I leave it on all night on freshly washed (bleached) hair. Rinse with cool water, condition, and have beautiful results! It can be a reddish purple indoors, super blue outside, it's amazing how different light effects the pigment. If you go no-poo (conditioner only) the color lasts for months. It fades beautifully to a pastel purple. I'll continue to buy this

I use a teensy dab of this in whatever conditioner (white, cone free - lately I've been favoring GVP k-pak to give a nice protein boost but suave coconut works great too) to make a white toner for pale yellow bleached hair. It's waaaaay more cost effective than virgin snow and you can control the toner strength. Leave in for however long... It's good for the hair. Just be careful if you care about going silver/greyish/lavender cause that can and will happen if you're too heavy-handed. Highly recommend! My one jar doesn't have a dent and has lasted a year! Brings you to white if done right.

this product did work with my hair very well, i suggest leaving it in longer than thirty minutes if you want it to last. depending on how much hair you have, you might need more than one container, because i ran out of dye when i first did it.
the price is a bit steep in my opinion, but otherwise a great product overall.

Ultra Violet seems to be a medium-dark blue-toned purple in the jar and the name implies a bit of indigo and a bit of purple mixed together. In the jar, it remains true to the idea of violet. I assumed the "Ultra" part would mean a bit more on the neon side with ultraviolet rays being bright. It's a royal purple that fades to an icy blue after many washes. This is one color where any red fades and all the blue is left behind, which is amazing for semi-permanent hair color. I mix this with Purple Haze and conditioner to get a brighter purple that fades to a pretty pastel purple. Purple Haze is a bit too red, Ultra-Violet a bit too blue, and the combination works perfectly. 4 stars for the color name being slightly deceptive but it remaining a vital part of my hair regiment.
I love to color my hair, or parts of it, bright colors and I've been bleaching and dying my own hair since I was 13. Manic Panic gives better and more predictable results than the other semi-permanent dyes available. Bleaching and toning my hair gives me a shade very close to cream so every color I've tried goes on very true. I mix most of the colors with conditioner to get a brighter, even color that fades to pastel or starts as pastel. Suave Naturals or Alberto VO5 are perfect for this (I don't use others due to the ingredients not being optimum for my hair type.)
