Benny, I think they call that satire. But I loved it. Myself, I rub two old chicken feet together and then spin an RC Cola bottle next to a moon pie. If it points towards the moon pie, I buy. If it points away from the moon pie, I sell.

Absolutely. How does a stock typically behave after 2) and 3) ? How long to recover and by how much? Wouldn't they typically rebound back to say $490 or so where AAPL was before the run up prior to earnings announcment?

Nobody is eating AAPL's lunch. That's ridiculous. AAPL's lunch sack is growing every quarter by more than even AAPL can eat. Samsung is making a killing just from the scraps from AAPL's table.

Thanks, Paulo. Very good. I was asking myself the exact same question and wondering what the corresponding P/E ratio were for MSFT and CSCO back then. AAPL was not selling at that P/E that growth investors were willing to pay for stocks like MSFT and CSCO of the day. And nowhere near like NFLX, AMZN, and CRM are getting today.
I wish you had used a multi-axis chart to show the price, earnings, and P/E for all three stocks through 2012. I started to subscribe to that YCharts service. They seem to have excellent support also as I recall a fellow there named Nathan Pinger provided me some excellent answers to find some data that I was researching.
I think that YCharts service is a dream tool for analytical people. I just almost signed up, but it is quite expensive per month as I recall.Jan 28, 2013. 08:54 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
Everywhere I go, I run across those who feel like they are somehow entitled to something more from someone else. Nobody here owes you anything. You are not entitled to anything for your work other than what someone who can benefit from it agrees to pay you.
If you don't like what is offered where you are then you are free to seek out elsewhere whatever amount of money that your talent and skill at your particular craft will bear. Perhaps find a new craft or work harder and get better at the one you have.
Of course in your mind, I am sure your continued failures in life will always be someone else's fault. Such are the bewildered and embattled lives of those oppressed souls such as yourself. If only you could somehow take more from those evil rich and business people. Man wouldn't that be fair!! Wouldn't life be just dandy if you could somehow just take more from others who have more.
Yippy ki yay!!! I hate to be so harsh, but I am just sick of socialists, Marxists and the world full of losers who feel like they are entitled to something from others.Jan 27, 2013. 09:43 PM | 1 Like |Link to Comment

Thanks, Doyle, I have some catching up to do. This whole undercurrent with AAPL dumping Samsung chips could be bigger than most even realize right now.
I did not realize how many chips AAPL used from Samsung. Also that Samsung hiked the price of those chips by 20% recently. It's bad to be hand to mouth with your competitor also as your supplier. Now I had just assumed that AAPL would turn to foundries like TSMC (Taiwan) or Chartered Semiconductor (Singapore) for these chips. Both the companies have AWESOME capabilities. Now I hear Intel may be getting a chunk.
What a game changer that would be for Intel. Personally I love Intel as a company. Top to bottom excellence. They offered me a great job in Chandle, AZ r a few years back. Actually gave me 6 locations to pick from. Just too far west for me. I say that after working two years in Asia with the Semiconductor industry. I just had to get back east for personal reasons. But Intel. Man what a company. And it is a chance for AAPL to actually up the percentage of American made components in their products. That and cut the throat of a competitor. WOW!
Meanwhile headlines everywhere at extolling Samsung and record profits along with positive head line like: "Samsung Reports Record Profits: While Cutting Capex 20%". Then blurbs about how Samsung is just killing AAPL. CNBC has even has to retract part of one of these blathering stories three times before they get it right. The reason Samsung is cutting Capex is because they are going lose business and will be faced with surplus capacity.
Let me say finally that financial people and investment analysts do not understand manufacturing and supply chain logistics as well as they should. As this strategy unfolds and develops it will have a greater short-term effect on costs, margins, and supply chain than people realize. It's short term bad for AAPL. This could take a year or more to implement. It's long term good for companies companies like ARM Holdings, Intel, TSMC and Chartered Semiconductor. It sure puts AAPL in a vulnerable spot for a while with respect to components. Switching semi-conductor suppliers is a very, very hard thing to do. Ramp ups are hard. Not only that, if the components are both Samsung designed and manufactured then AAPL also has to turn to someone like ARM Holdings for the design prior to contracting out to wafer fab foundries.
Please take a look at what it takes to get Semiconductor capacity on line (last reference below).

Samsung: The Fifth Horseman [View article]
From one hillbilly to another, I have one thing to add about the cursing. Cursing can be a curse.
Twenty years ago, I had a 360 degree survey done to evaluate my people skills and related job performance. That is where you survey a number of people you work with including customers, suppliers, subordinates, etc. Feedback from all angles. Then I took another one just last year.
The results and comments were almost the same twenty years later. From a totally different set of people, in a totally different business sector and a different state. One comment in each of them was, "I wish Denny would stop using profanity." A great many people are just out right offended by it. I thought had addressed the issue back then because I have almost stopped using profanity. Almost.
In manufacturing back in those days, profanity along with a fair measure of yelling and temper tantrums in private meetings was common (think Nick Nolte locker room scene from "Blue Chips").
In government services not so much. So when I switched over to the government sector, I really watched my P's and Q's. So I was a bit surprised to see the same comment twenty years later.
My boss said "You can't change the spots on a leopard."
Gives credence to one of my old idols, a sociology professor, Dr. Morris Massey, who authored: "What You Are Now is What You Were When.:" He says that a person's value system is formed at a very young age from surroundings, personal experiences, and events. Also that a person's value system "locks in" by about age 19. And after that, any particular one of a person's values can only be changed by what he calls :"a significant emotional event.:"
There is great and growing long term value in the AAPL ecosystem. As or Samsung, who really knows. TV's are great. Phones, are cheap. Tablets are WAY inferior. Accounting, integrity and governance could not pass a Sarbanes-Oxley test probably. But probably they are a better company in that regard than most people seem to think. Siri might say: "Value system undefined."Jan 26, 2013. 12:43 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment

Sometimes there is just no better word to describe something. My mom, the smartest person I have ever known, would say otherwise. If I said what you said, she would beat the what you said out of me.
Profanity is a rich part of American linguistics and should not be either under estimated or over used.
I don't know much about the Samsung phones. Somebody handed me a new Samsung Galaxy tablet in a meeting the other day. It was a real piece of what you said.Jan 26, 2013. 12:12 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment

in response to mbushnellDo any other applications cause this? While the beachball is there, can you launch any other programs or click other windows? Is Safari updated to the latest version?
Before launching Safari, open up Activity Monitor (Applications>Utilities>Activity Monitor) and sort the processes by CPU usage percent. Try to keep the top line (where the first application is listed) visible while opening Safari. Hopefully you'll be able to see if Safari eats up all the CPU energy.
Another thing to try is to create another User Account and use Safari on that account. If Safari runs with no troubles, the issue is somewhere in the main User Account.
mbushnell Jan 7, 2009 2:37 PM
in response to LyssaNo other applications except Safari cause this problem as far as I can tell. I'm using Safari 3.2.1. I cannot launch any other programs when the beachball is there. I actually can't do anything when the beach ball appears. It appears that the computer is very sluggish when typing, and I noticed that it is horribly slow while transferring files to my external hard drive. I tried to do a Time machine backup after I did a clean install, and it took over 10 hours for it to transfer about 30 gigs worth of files. It takes about 45 minutes to do 80 gigs on my iMac. Something is definitely off. I tried to do activity monitor, but because the computer freezes I cannot see what is going on until it comes back to life. I have multiple accounts on here for my wife and myself, and this problem happens on both. I think we've just got a lemon of a machine because it has already had the logic board and camera board replaced 3 times and the battery and keyboard replaced once each. My iMac has been a champ since I got it, but this MacBook is another story entirely.

Prozac May Lessen Autism Symptom in Adults
Latest Neurology News
Study Shows Half of Treated Patients Had Reduction in Repetitive Behaviors
By Salynn Boyles
Reviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD
Dec. 2, 2011 -- The antidepressant Prozac appears to be useful for treating a defining symptom of autism spectrum disorder -- repetitive, compulsive behavior.
In a newly published study involving autistic adults, half of those who took Prozac (fluoxetine) experienced meaningful declines in repetitive behaviors.
Earlier studies by the same researchers showed the antidepressant to be effective for reducing repetitive behaviors in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), although a study from another research team failed to show an effect with the antidepressant Celexa (citalopram).
Prozac and Celexa are both selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants.
The latest study shows that treatment with an SSRI can have a positive impact on repetitive, compulsive behavior in autistic adults, just as it can in children, says study researcher Eric Hollander, MD, of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, N.Y.
"This medication improves one of the core symptoms of autism in adults, and this can make a big difference in their lives and the lives of their families," he tells WebMD.
Treating Repetitive Behavior
Autism spectrum disorders are defined by the core symptoms of difficulty communicating and relating with others, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interests.
Inflexible routines or rituals, and repetitive movements such as rocking or hand-wringing, are commonly seen in children and adults with autism.
Antidepressants, especially SSRIs, are sometimes used in the treatment of adults with autism. But they have not been widely studied and their impact on repetitive behaviors had not been studied at all.
The 12-week study by Hollander and colleagues included 37 autistic adults with repetitive behavior symptoms who took either Prozac or a placebo.
Prozac dosages were gradually increased, as tolerated, from 10 milligrams to up to 80 milligrams a day. Repetitive behaviors were assessed using widely accepted measures.
By one such measure, 50% of study participants who took Prozac showed significant improvement in repetitive symptoms at week 12 compared to 8% of those in the placebo group.
The study appears online Dec. 2 in The American Journal of Psychiatry.
Treating Core Autism Symptoms With Drugs
In some cases the drug made a meaningful difference for patients and family members, Hollander says.
"There is a lot of distress and functional impairment associated with narrow restrictive interests and behaviors," he says. "Deviation from routine can cause extreme agitation and explosions that can make things like going to a restaurant or riding public transportation difficult."
The schizophrenia drug Risperdal (risperidone) is approved for the treatment of irritability and agitation in children and adolescents with autism. Autism researcher Fred Volkmar, MD, says the drug also seems to improve repetitive behaviors and other core symptoms in many patients.
Volkmar directs the Child Study Center at Yale University, where he is also a professor of psychiatry.
"The question remains, 'Is fluoxetine better than risperidone for this symptom?'" he tells WebMD. "It would be interesting to see studies comparing these two drugs head to head."

IF THE period of the Civil War was characterized generally by harmonious relationships between Negroes and white people, it also seemed to foreshadow future unrest and disorder, provided the slaves were emancipated. Hence, when Abraham Lincoln proclaimed emancipation for the slaves, a crisis 1 was precipitated in the South, and a new period of relations between the two racial groups was inaugurated. For, if the purpose back of the 'emancipation was to be realized, former masters and former slave's would need to learn new ways of association.
The new era represented an attempt to institute by legal procedure a system of relations different from that which had grown up in habit and in custom. It seems to have been forgotten, however, that some disorganization must, of necessity, occur in the stage of transition and that to change the status of men by executive fiat neglects the fact that the status was not originally acquired in such a way and, hence, could scarcely be so changed later. For these latter reasons, changes in the legal status of men seldom remain stable unless they have already been manifested in the social and moral order.
"Emancipation had made the Negro free, but it had not made him, in the full sense, a citizen. His status was undefined, different in some respects in every different community. Every day the Negro was compelled to face anew the problem how to, be at once a Negro and a citizen. This has been, and still is, the enigma: of the Negro's existence." 2
The law stipulated that the Negro was to be a citizen, but custom had defined both the forms of behavior expected of Negroes and their place in the social system. The battle lines

Very nice. I like the very bottom middle one the best. Or possible all the way left, second from the bottom (that has a cool bit of perspective on it)

The Emergency Wetlands Resources Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-645) requires the Fish & Wildlife Service to produce national wetlands status and trend reports for the Congress at ten year intervals. The current report has just been issued: Status & Trends of Wetlands in the Conterminous U.S. 1998 to 2004. The reports concludes that, "for the first time net wetlands gains, acquired through the contributions of restoration and creation activities, surpassed net wetland losses." On Earth Day 2004, President Bush announced a wetlands initiative that established a federal policy BEYOND "no net loss" of wetlands.
In addition to sustaining various flora, fauna and folk, wetlands support healthy fish populations by providing clean water, food production, spawning and nursery areas and refuge. Wetlands are "nature's kidneys" because they filter and purify our streams, rivers and waterways.
AAEA is an environmental organization founded in 1985 that is dedicated to protecting the environment, enhancing human, animal and plant ecologies, promoting the efficient use of natural resources, increasing African American participation in the environmental movement and promoting ownership of energy infrastructure and resources. We resolve environmental problems through the application of practical environmental solutions.

Guild Wars 2: IT'S NOT FOR ME :\
You have most definitely heard it all when it comes to Guild Wars 2. I will not rehash it, in actuality I have not experienced enough of the game to go through its finer points. From the little I have experienced this beta weekend I could tell immediately that this game was not for me.
Simply put, I am in the belief that this game is for a different generation of MMO gamer than whatever category I am in. Similar to the way that I am not a fan of music from the 1920's I am not into this game. This is NOT to say it isn't a good game, or even that anything is wrong with me personally, it's just not my style.
World of Warcraft isn't my style either and were it not for friends who got me into it, I would have avoided that cartoon-fest forever. There were elements of WOW that I enjoyed but, as with anything, you can always find the silver lining. I have even been attempting to play Rift recently and I find it a superior model to the WOW style, but again, it is not my ideal game.
The truth is, my ideal game hasn't been invented yet, and the majority of elements I would like games to primarily focus on, I find lacking in all others. Well… The exception is Neverwinter Nights. It is my observation that quite a few of the things I would like to see in MMO's reside in that game.
Guild Wars 2 seems to be the conversion of Unreal Tournament and Quake style gameplay into the land of MMO's. Hacking and Slashing with special moves has now been partially ported into the massive multiplayer arena. The only problem is that I was never a huge fan of hacking and slashing or button mashing. I liked Zelda, especially Ocarina of Time but that wasn't dependent on internet connection stability and had a much more organic feel to it, the way I remember it.
Picture Guild Wars 2, in design, then, picture Asheron's Call. Obviously the complexity of gameplay had shifted. I wouldn't say in this case that it was dumbed down exactly but, the focus has shifted from advanced strategic planning to instant "twitch play" mechanics. In Asheron's Call you were forced to plan your character in advance and master your particular style of gameplay, you must even do this to a degree in Neverwinter Nights. In Guild Wars 2 as far as I've experienced it, it seems that it's all about a sort of halfway console hack and slash combat style mixed with moments of adding your special moves in a fixed sequence depending on 2-4 variables. Variables being things such as:
Is your opponent is primarily ranged and you are melee, then; Advanced quickly with move X, slow movements with move Y, perform maximum combat sequence per enemy defenses & attempt to use "console dodge" tap button.
In a game such as Neverwinter Nights or Asheron's Call there were more variables due to skillsets being unpredictable. There were sometimes visual cues, sometimes. Most times enemies would attempt to deceive you by using secondary skills and dressing contrary to their class / skills to initially throw you off, deception could be key often enough. Magic items also caused strategy to vary in such an unpredictable way that pre planned combat sequences were almost always guaranteed to change. This is also assuming you were in a position to attack first.
It may seem like I'm saying that previous games were more complex and maybe I am. I do think there is something to be said about players that have the affinity for extreme keyboard & mouse gaming combat but it is not the same as pre planned combat tactics. The action required in Guild Wars 2 is more reactionary, you must be willing to counter or seize upon your enemies mistakes in a more immediate way. I would say the comparison is like the difference between table tennis and chess or even chess and pool. Guild Wars 2 has brought a different combat style to the table, much more improved than a Vindictus, that's almost all I know for sure.
That's really all I want to say for now, I may make a few videos of some lowbies crap in GW2 but you've probably seen it all by now and I'm not into YouTube gameplay footage necromancy unless it's Skyrim.
I hope orange is easier to read, I'll update it back to default if requested.
Guild Wars 2 isn't necessary my type of MMORPG -- but it is my type of Online Game. It is something I see myself playing for years to come alongside games such as World of Warcraft.
Many say that by playing a beta you can determine the fate of a game in the MMO Industry. I won't argue for or against that, though from my own experiences Guild Wars 2 gives me the same "win" feeling that I got from WoW back in it's Open Beta.
The only other game that gave me such a feeling of adventure and sublime entertainment prior to that was Ultima Online (though I enjoyed FFXI for a while).
When it came to other games such as War Hammer, Age of Conan, Tabula Rasa, a host of korean games and SWTOR I didn't receive such a feeling. Indeed, and though I gave those games an honest shot, I have learned to trust my instincts on what game will be "gold" and what will enjoy a modest success.
Guild Wars 2 is definitely in the category of being pure Gold for a 14-15 year MMO veteran such as myself; it isn't something I'm interested in playing non-stop, but it is without a doubt "That game" that I always wanted since the 90s.
That unexplainable feeling you got when you played Awesome RPGs. How you didn't want to complete the game simply because you didn't want it to end, but pressed on anyway. Guild Wars 2 is a game that continues forever while also not charging a monthly fee to essentially hold your hard work -- the characters you spent so long and invested so much in playing -- up for ransom.
It's a pure and enjoyable game. It's not a stupendous one, but it is a fantastic addition to my RPG répertoire and worth the money five times over the actual cost.
"Come danger! Come adventure! This is my story."
Sat Jul 21 2012 2:01AM Report
In essence I agreed with what you posted. :)
I'm just treating it as a great online game and not the MMORPG replacement to my past MMORPGs like some are. Giving it realistic jobs to satisfy my gaming quota and needs. That and I enjoyed the lore of the first game, so it's like the ideal Role Playing Game for me that will (knowing Anet from the past dealings I've had with them) receive great care and worthwhile updates.
It will essentially fill the job I wanted Diablo III to take on: To give me entertainment when I'm bored with my main MMOs.Sat Jul 21 2012 2:46AM Report
Yes, I agree with you. It's not really my game either. More from how it's designed than anything else. I didn't really how much I enjoyed roles until I played a beta where everyone is everything. It was quite disappointing and I just found it a horrible action-y mess of button mashing. Then I tried out GW1 and found that to be much superior (well, except for the graphics).Sat Jul 21 2012 6:24PM Report
I didn't find myself button mashing as much as having to just be generally engaged most of the time. I'd rather not have to perform so many keyboard actions when not gaming for tournaments.
To be honest I was having a little more fun in Rift, I do enjoy the change of pace GW2 offers but not for a lengthy duration. That being said, I probably won't like Rift for much longer either lol.Sun Jul 22 2012 3:00AM Report

Many of the measures you can take to save energy do not require any financial investment, like turning off lights or adjusting your thermostat. But other energy-efficiency measures, like buying ENERGY STAR® appliances or upgrading to more energy-efficient systems, do require a cash outlay.
The good news is that PPL Electric Utilities will help pay the cost of undertaking these energy efficiency measures. We offer a wide range of rebates, incentives and discount programs on everything from LED bulbs to commercial refrigeration (and just about everything in between).

Cambridge Consultants has a concept idea called "Tê". This is a capsule based tea maker so you can get a consistent cup of tea and not have to put in lemon or milk.
The basis works similar to the single coffee cup makers. Drop in a capsule and let the water do the rest. The capsule spins to take all oxygen out of the tea (which is what makes it bitter).
Cambridge Consultants is a idea factory that helps turn them into innovations. From tea to the perfect pint of beer, you can be assured that Cambridge Consultants is helping to make it happen. (www.cambridgeconsultants.com)

BMW X5 Recalls
The brake line may become chafed due to repeated contact with the oil lines that come from the oil filter housing. Chafed brake lines may lead to brake fluid leaks and a loss of hydraulic brake system pressure, which may result in an accident. Dealers will install a rubber spacer below the plastic oil filter housing carrier to prevent sagging and contact between the oil and brake lines. Corroded brake lines will be replaced.
The transmission gear position indicator switch may lose contact, which can cause the vehicle to go into a fail safe mode. Performance will be reduced, which may cause a crash. Dealers will replace the transmission gear position indicator switch.
The lower steering shaft where it fits into the steering gear has a retainer collar that may not be fully installed. This could cause the shaft to separate from the steering gear, which could cause a loss of steering control. Dealers will inspect the collar for proper positioning and adjust it as necessary.

Templates and PDFs in Scribus
Ready for Press
In this final part of our three-part series [1][2],we'll put the finishing touches on our Linux newspaper. You'll learn how to generate a PDF,and you'll find out what a real pre-press professional thinks about our project.
In last month's installment, we finished our newspaper front page and offered it as a guide for creating the remaining pages. Now we'll show how to add the finishing touches and assemble the newspaper for printing. Templates In any print design project (or web design project, for that matter), one keyissue is consistency. In order to be consistent, it is necessary to create pages that look relatively similar even if they hold different types of content. Basic page elements, such as the system for numbering pages (called the folio in publishing), should be identical, as should the fonts used throughout.

Enjoy a gourmet breakfast—plus romantic flourishes like in-room rose petals and a box of homemade cookies—at this historic inn just steps from the Atlantic City Boardwalk.
The Destination
The historic seaside town of Ventnor, though just a mile from the bright lights of Atlantic City, feels far removed from the bustle. With charming turn-of-the-century architecture, locally owned boutiques and art galleries, and a relatively undeveloped coastline, this Absecon Island town feels a bit more authentic than its neighbor to the north. And though the famous boardwalk lies just minutes away, with casinos and nightlife just a few minutes farther, there are plenty of uncrowded beaches right here in Ventnor that are yours for the taking.
The Digs
Just steps from the world-famous boardwalk, yet as intimate and personal as a good friend's house, The Carisbrooke Inn offers a different, homier approach to Atlantic City. This American Foursquare-style inn pays tribute to its 19th-century roots with features like a tiled roof, cornice-line brackets, high ceilings, ornate moldings, and eclectic period furnishings.
Rooms, too, exude a warmth and coziness you won't find elsewhere. After being greeted by fragrant rose petals sprinkled on the bed, you'll immediately feel at home amid luxurious beds, private bathrooms, and flat-panel HDTVs. Wake in the morning to a sumptuous spread of homemade pumpkin chocolate-chip muffins and buttermilk pancakes before heading out for a stroll along the shore—but make sure you're back at the inn by 5 p.m. for the complimentary wine and cheese hour.
The Details
• Taxes and resort fees are not included—you'll pay those directly to the property
• Plan around the blackout dates: November 23-December 1; December 20, 2015-January 2, 2016; January 15-17; February 12-14, 2016

Would just like to say hi like everyone else has.
I don't have a horse unfortunately as I can't afford I'm 18, I have been riding since I was 5. I had a welsh mountain pony on part loan years ago. I'm studying equine at college at the moment, my best friend of 2 years at college is toby he's on my profile picture he's a gorgeous 15.3hh piebald cob who I'm currently practising for a drill ride with him and my group.
If anyone has any tips of owning a horse like how you do it, (what sort of jobs you have to afford it) thanks
P.S I was wondering if anyone in the UK who lives in leek or stoke on trent needs a helping hand on their yard or a riding buddy or knows of any jobs going thanks xx

A Canadian biotechnology company has asked the U.S. to approve a genetically modified apple that won't brown soon after its sliced, saying the improvement could boost sales of apples for snacks, salads and other uses.
U.S. apple growers say it's too soon to know whether they'd be interested in the apple: They need to resolve questions about the apple's quality, the cost of planting and, most importantly, whether people would buy it.
As far as eating it there is no problem.
The problem is in if any of the modified genes can get transferred in nature to an organism which
can use that gene in a negative way. That is really the big unknown. Bacteria are known to pass
genes to each other which is a big part of all the antibiotic resistance going on now.
Most of the modifications in plants are directed to allow the plant to adapt to poor growing conditions
(drought etc.) or add amino acids to their composition to make them more nutritious.
If these genes got into weeds (for example) you may get some super weed which takes over
and becomes difficult to eradicate. Eating it will have no impact on you. You'll just digest it
and $h!t it out as usual.

I am on a second bottle of this extremely light weight hydration serum and I like it. This serum is loaded with good antioxidants and unscented unlike their lavender daily moisturizer and ultimate cream. Perfect for those with normal to oily skin and can be used alone. I also recommend the lavender eye gel which is not sold @ iherb.

My reasoning is that since the curve equation is known, then f does not really depend on the angle θ, but only on r (and r is a function of the angle, kind of a compound function). Does this make sense?

Federal Employee Health Benefits open season now - Dec. 13
November 12, 2010
By Sheryl Lowell, Public Affairs Specialist
FORT RUCKER, Ala. -- The U.S. Office of Personnel Management announced this year's open season for health benefits, dental and vision insurance and flexible spending accounts runs now until Dec. 13.
Fort Rucker holds an open house from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 16, in the first floor lobby of the Soldier Service Center, Bldg. 5700.
The open house highlights each plan available, to include 2011 cost share information. Federal Employees Health Benefit carriers will be on site to answer questions.
OPM enters into annual negotiations with each FEHB carrier.
"The FEHB program has important features, including a wide choice of health plans and competitive benefit packages," said John Berry, OPM director.
Because of the annual negotiations, people are encouraged to look over their personal healthcare plans every year too.
"Plans change each year, it is important to review your plan, and ensure it continues to meet your individual needs," said Margie Fields, human resource specialist.
FEHB offers 207 health plan options starting in January. All FEHB plans now offer tobacco cessation benefits in compliance with the U.S. Public Health Services' 2008 clinical guidance on tobacco cessation. Five plans have increased benefits for hearing devices and six FEHB plans offer testing for up to four transplant donors for bone marrow and stem cell transplants, according to the OPM guide to federal benefits Web site at www.opm.gov/insure.
Berry also said in 2011, enrollee cost sharing will be eliminated for preventative care services, incentives for tobacco cessation will be added and in accordance with the Affordable Care Act, added coverage for children up to age 26.
The office of OPM released the 2011 FEHB Program and stated costs will rise by an average of 7.2 percent for the enrollee share of premiums. This increase is below last year's increase of 8.8 percent. This will equate to on average $5.53 more each pay period for self-only coverage and $11.45 more per pay period for family coverage. FEHB enrollees pay on average 30 percent of the total cost of the plan premium while the government pays on average 70 percent.

Omfg you put me to SHAME, Charlie!
Oh I love the colors you used on this.
And I have a new favorite gallery.
Oh skulls. How endearing you are, with your hollow eyes and cracked surfaces and bared teeth. Having written that, I have no idea why it's endearing and not repulsive. It just is.
Curious use of blue feathers as light source.

I don't post very often - but I feel so sad for my baby. My niece visited us about a month ago and - as I found out tonight gave my son and I head lice! Well actually I'm sure it was just me and I past it to him.
I had never seen lice before, but my head had been itchy for a week or so and sure enough. I found them late tonight and my LO was already asleep. I was checking his head with a flashlight and the comb and only found one nit - no live bugs. I have to check better tomorrow.
Anyone have any good home remedies for LOs? I was thinking of just using the comb every day, is that enough?

I assume you mean GPS, not powermate.
The GPS in inside the wood enclosure I built. I am still working on it (I need to cut out the window and put the carpet over it). I get about 6 sats, so I'm not worried about signal strength.
Now that school is out, I have found some time to work on the carpc project. I decided to get rid of mapmonkey, and start using iGuidance instead. This was prompted by mapmonkey telling me to go the wrong direction on a one way street (which I didn't do btw) . I know this is destinators fault, but I never trusted it since then. I also decided to try out the alpha of FU, and I simply love it. My current to-do list includes:
install power supply
finish carpeting box/cut hole for lights
install ground loop isolator to fix noise when computer is off
install microphone
install keyboard
install more RAM
install backup camera
setup cell phone integration
Well, I never posted a picture of the finished screen fab in place, so here it is. I will take another of the power button assembly later.
What front end is that? Centrafuse is about to start charging and I am not sure if I want to buy it or not. That one looks like it matches the interior pretty well.
you need more sanding to do bro...it looks bad. but nice install.
Freedom Ultimate (Worklog)
I think the bezel could be improved but nice install!
in clubrsx.com people refer to the colors in their abbreviated forms. for example, yours would be SSM or ASM if i'm not mistaken ssm for satin silver metallic. anyway, i'm about set to start building my own carputer and saw ur finished install. what's with the unfinished look of the bezel? are you still going to fine sand that thing down? it looks pretty bad...
any updates on the sanding of the bezel?
Hey guys,
I've been away for a while and I want to finish the carpc project fairly soon. Yes I know the bezel looks like ****, but I am way to lazy right now to take the whole thing out, resand/re-fill/re-paint it. I still don't have a power supply, lol so that is my next thing to sort out. I have 2 batteries in the laptop, so I only have to take it out about every 10 days to charge it. Still, it's really annoying. I installed an external power button up front, so I don't need to worry about a shutdown/startup controller. I really just want to get the power supply situation sorted out first before I do anything else. The laptop takes 19.5V input. Any ideas on a really cheap solution that wont introduce audio interference? I would buy an opus/carnetix, but I really don't want to spend the money if I don't need a shutdown/startup controller.
Yes, it's Freedom Ultimate with a modified color scheme.
After I finish the power supply, I want to finish carpeting the rest of the computer/amp box (lol, I never carpeted the top). After that, I might redo the bezel when I feel like it.

Kappy Jul 17, 2008 1:36 PM
in response to Bob_M.You have a good question, but it's best answered by asking it of Belkin's tech support.
Bob_M. Jul 17, 2008 1:45 PM
in response to KappyActually, I wrote Belkin also, but there Mac support is very limited so I thought I would post here too, especially since I found the original discussion that pointed me in the right direction in these forums.
Kappy Jul 17, 2008 1:53 PM
in response to Bob_M.Well unless someone already has an answer you may find little help since whatever the problem is it is most likely related to how the UPS handles switching over when there's an outage.
Are you using their proprietary control software or have you checked to see if you can control via Energy Saver?
It could also be that the UPS does not handle the switchover fast enough for the computer. This is a problem with iMacs and some UPS models (even those from APC.) This is why you need to talk with Belkin.
Bob_M. Jul 17, 2008 3:36 PM
in response to KappyThanks, again.
I am using Mac OS X's Energy Saver controls as there is no Leopard compatible software from Belkin.
As for the switchover, that isn't the problem, it drops into battery power just fine. The issue is that once on battery power, the AC outlets should turn off, inducing a full power failure to the computer. That isn't happening.
I have written Belkin support already and am waiting for a response. I just thought I would check here as well. I can't be the only guy with a Mac and a Belkin UPS who wants to use the Restart after Power Failure feature.
Kappy Jul 17, 2008 10:45 PM
in response to Bob_M.I'm afraid I'm confused. If you use the UPS to prevent loss of power during an outage why would the AC outlets be turned off? Wouldn't that defeat the whole point of a UPS? If the switchover is fast enough then the computer should not require a restart after power failure. If the computer is actually losing power before the UPS kicks on then the UPS is not switching over quickly enough which is a problem in older model UPS and models with longer kick in times.
Bob_M. Jul 17, 2008 11:02 PM
in response to KappyThat's all true, but UPS batteries only last so long. If the power outage is long enough, you will drain the battery. The UPS is designed to tell the computer to turn off before that happens. If you aren't concerned about getting the computer back up automatically, that works great. If you depend on remote access to your computer, however, you'd want it to be able to start back up automatically after the electricity returns.
The problem is that the computer can only turn itself back on after a power failure, if it actually died due to the power failure. If the computer shut down normally, that's it you are done until you turn it back on manually.
The process is this:
1. AC Power lost
2. UPS switches to battery power
3. Computer tell UPS to turn off the outlets in five minutes.
4. Computer saves/closes all work, starts shutting the OS down.
5. Computer stalls the shut down process once all critical files and drives are secured.
6. Computer enters a hung state and waits for the remainder of the five minutes.
7. The UPS turns off the outlets.
8. The computer, which is still on, dies due to a power failure with no risk to data or drives thanks to its semi-shutdown state.
9. When the electricity comes back on, the UPS turns the outlets back on.
10 The computer, having failed due to a power loss, is able to start back up on its own.
The system works as advertised for APC UPSs. With the Belkin, however, the outlets were never turned off. The computer and monitor stayed on the full five to ten minutes and eventually tried to start back up with the power still out.
Kappy Jul 17, 2008 11:34 PM
in response to Bob_M.Gotcha. Take a look at Faronics Power Save - VersionTracker or MacUpdate software that provides more control over Energy Saver. I don't know if it will solve your problem or not but it may be cheaper than an APC UPS (which is what you should have gotten in the first place. They are excellent.)
Bob_M. Jul 17, 2008 11:47 PM
in response to KappyThanks for the reference. I didn't see the software in Version Tracker, but Google found the developer's web site. I don't know that it will help with a UPS, but I will definitely look at it for just more general control of the up and down times.
Thanks again!

GREELEY — The University of Northern Colorado is starting work on a new education reform think tank.
The top priority for the Education Innovation Institute? Distinguishing itself from all the other education reform think tanks.
"There's lots of time, energy and effort put into trying to reform education, come up with new ways of doing things, and yet we're not satisfied with those results either," UNC President Kay Norton told the Greeley Tribune.
UNC decided to put together the institute with a slightly different aim: not to research school reforms but to bring them to teachers. Lawmakers approved the new institute.
"There's all kinds of research out there, and there's nobody testing it," said Rep. Don Marostica, R-Loveland. "We need to be the guinea pigs. If it doesn't work, move on."
The institute was made official last week when Gov. Bill Ritter signed it.

BRISTOL—It was an ending and a beginning for Mt. Hope High School's largest graduating class as 255 graduates earned their diplomas Saturday.
"Do not cry because it's over; smile because it happened," senior class President Ross Hogan quoted author Dr. Seuss during his address to his fellow graduates. "This day is an ending, but it's also a new beginning."
Valedictorian Elisabeth Iacono shared a similar message with the class, urging fellow graduates not to dwell on the past but strive for the future. "This isn't an ending, but a new beginning for each and every one of us," she said. "Our fate lies within us. Have the courage to follow your passion."
Several hundred spectators packed the Roger Williams University field house at noon Saturday to watch to watch the students stride across the stage. Principal Dennis Rebello acknowledged the families in attendance, and the critical role parents play in their children's education, using the students' own words he had previously asked them to describe their parents.
"My mom's beauty, her intelligence and her ever-present wisdom has guided me through my life," he quoted graduate Lucy Spence.
"My mom exceeds the role of mother; she's a superstar," graduate Alexandra ash said of her mother, Lisa Mercier, whom Mr. Rebello presented with the annual Outstanding Parent Award.
"Parent, you have made an impression on these students," he said.
The school has made an impression on the students as well, as salutatorian Hazel Baldwin-Kress exemplified, delivering her speech detailing their years at Mt. Hope in the style of the ubiquitous five-paragraph essay so familiar to English class students.
"We are not the same people we once were. Our identities as high school students will fade," she said. "But do not fear greatness, judge others, or forget the 5-paragraph essay that got us here."

Puppeteer Dan Baginski, left, of No Strings Marionettes, helps Julia Caserta, 8, center, with a costume for her cyclops puppet.
Third-graders at Montpelier's Union Elementary School have been up to their elbows in puppets for the past couple weeks. For the past dozen years, puppeteers Dan Baginski and Barbara Poulin of the No Strings Marionette Company in Randolph have been coming to the school for an intensive puppet making and performance worshop. Students design and create their own fully operational puppet, then give voice to its character and bring it to life in performance. Above, Baginski helps Julia Caserta, 8, center, with a costume for her cyclops puppet earlier this week at the school. Left, Louisa Braun, 9, left, and Linnea Colwell, 8, look over accessories to use in decorating their puppets.
