Will someone give me a loan?
posted by:
@ Thu Apr 28, 2016 4:25 pm
I m European and during my stay in US I had an accident, was hospitalized and left unable to work for 8 months and also unable to move (therefore I stayed in the country to fully recover). My parents helped me but they couldn t afford paying for my rent therefore I have a debt now of $3000 for rent and soon in about 2 days will have no food. My mother told me she cannot pay for my food anymore so I am asking for help to get a little bit of money to be able to buy food. If someone is willing to help with my rent payment (loan would be perfect), ...

Experience with Vanguard managed services

@ Sun Apr 24, 2016 3:12 am
About two years ago I took everything from accounts managed by my "CFP" at northwestern because of dissatisfaction with the service I was getting and moved it all (that wasn't' in employer managed accounts) to vanguard. At the time, I had in interview with an FA and we decided to put everything in two equity index funds. I have a little exposure to bond funds through a 401k, but as my income makes me ineligible for deductible or ROTH IRA, the bulk of my savings over the past two years have gone into my brokerage account at Vanguard and I feel...

Hi everyone. My sister's planning to get her very first car. She's been working for 5 years in a local publishing company and she's thought about it a lot. Was wondering if you know of any banks that offer low loan rates? Or is she better off with a credit union? Would appreciate your help a lot. Thanks!

A Question on $TWX
posted by:
@ Fri Apr 22, 2016 12:16 pm
Just a quick question after the release of $TWX (Time Warner) reports many people decided to sell quickly due to time warner losing many of its subscribers. The stock went down to about $56 a share. I saw this as a great opportunity to buy in so I did.Bought myself 100 shares for about a lil above $5600, it is now at $75.45 I knew it would rise due to the insane hype off the superman vs batman movie and I was right. Just wondering if anyone thinks I should cash out. How do I know if it has peaked. If anyone owns or keeps track of TWX any advice...

I'm 64 - when should I start to spend my retirement money?
posted by:
@ Thu Apr 14, 2016 6:55 pm
I'm 64 and my monthly expenses are currently $1000 more than I make, so I'm getting in additional charge debt every month another $1000. I currently have over $150000 in my IRA and over $50000 in my Roth Ira. I want to start withdrawing $1000 a month, $12,000 a year, to help pay bills and prevent more debt. My wife is totally opposed, she feels, as do most financial advisors, that we should not touch the money, it is there for when we get older, and may need the money for long term care. She'd rather I just keep increasing my debt, try to get...

Personal loan after Chapter 13

@ Wed Apr 13, 2016 1:35 pm
Looking for some help. Very discouraged. Been through a rough ten year stretch. While I've had the same very stable job, we have a house that was mortgaged at about 95% equity when the market collapsed, which quickly became upside down, ended up having to file Chapter 13 and working thru the payment plan. All over now, but looking for a personal loan and no one will touch me. Don't understand the system when yes I had problems but I stuck with it, kept the house and worked thru the bankruptcy, I think I should get some credit for that but ...

Traditional to Roth Rollover
posted by:
@ Tue Apr 12, 2016 11:36 pm
So doing some reading today and I'm kicking around this idea.
I'm 30 years old. I've got 100k in a Traditional IRA (rolled over from previous employer). I'm currently in the 28% tax bracket.
So if I understand this correctly I can roll up to $5,000/year from the Traditional to the Roth IRA. This would let me pay the taxes now and give me 30+ years of tax free growth. To do that I'll have to pay 28% tax on the $5000 that I roll over (so $1,400). I'm figuring that it's better to pay $1,400 now rather than $32,049 when I withdrawl 30 years f...

Student Loans: Lump Sums VS Monthly Payments??
posted by:
Amanda B
@ Sun Apr 10, 2016 3:33 pm
I was recently approved for a student loan repayment program through part of my employer. I currently owe approximately $43,775 and I will receive $20,000 this year, $20,000 next year, and I can request an extension for a third year if I have a remainder (which I will); I know I am still paying off interest that had accrued before I was out of school on half of my loans and I've been paying on them for about 2 years now.
I am wondering what would be my best option, to possibly save from paying more interest than needed, to use the $20,000 e...

Two problems frequently afflict plant safety efforts. First, engineers repeat mistakes that caused serious accidents at other sites because they never learned or have forgotten the lessons the initial mishap taught, warned the late safety guru Trevor Kletz (see: "Bhopal Leaves a Lasting Legacy.") Second, even when reviewing past incidents, staff may discount the chance of errors should a similar situation develop at their site. That's because reviews typically start by presenting the outcome, which often makes the proper steps that should have been taken to prevent the event all too obvious. As the saying goes, hindsight is 20/20. "This hindsight bias makes it…Full Story

Is the transitive form of the question. "How" is the intransitive.
The transitive has more answers than you can shake a stick at. The intransitive -- none.
With "fine" you bring an "outside" standard.
I have realized in my thinking that: how I am holds for all that is, meaning there's no going outside for an answer -- not for me; not for you; not for anyone.
Reflexives, automatives, passives.
That you are - you are, and being you, you being, is how you are being.
I think you are the only one, in all my time here, who has picked up on it, my having mentioned the intransitive more than once.
I will think on it, as I did before my last to you, before crafting and responding.
While you're welcome to think that way Santee maybe there is another alternative that no one else has mentioned this previously. Like
You don't need any engorgement to continue your wicked ways. :^0
Of having learned finnish.
Now, finnish doesn't use different markings for automatives, reflectives and passives, but the learner at some point will have to face the differences in meaning, if they get that far.
Automative covers the meaning of the formally active verb "come" in the example "water kept coming through the hole in the hull". There's no placement of blame, for one, no intent on the part of the water.
Reflexive covers both "run"-type meanings ("See jack run") and "itself"-types ("the deadly ouroborous serpent buries itself in the loose sand"). There is intent on the part of the one taking action.
Passives of the finnish type don't usually exist in english as independent verbs - instead, they're the intransitive subset of an otherwise transitive verb's usages.
Like "broke", in "he was about to tell me whom he suspected, when the connection broke".
This is different from the normal english passive "the connection was broken" which (in this case) implies a background intentional activity (someone broke it).
An unnamed perpetrator is not always the case, as in "He was killed in an car-accident" which differs from "He was killed in a knife-fight" which differs from "He was killed by his wife"... the difference is in terms of accusation.
evaluate the wave function of the Universe and there you are.
Doesn't hack it. Take you and your statement, for example. Not even the Indian dieties could figure your *** out.

A show on menswear trends, actually "the" Italian show for excellence: Pitti UOMO.
This most innovative show ever shows how men integrate with style and elegance.
The contemporary-essential man
What emerges from the collections seen at Pitti Uomo is the consistent research in combining technology, tradition and top quality materials. A great mix that brings a dose of optimism that, despite the financial uncertainties, confirms the comeback of fashion after a very dark period.
Just as the Pitti Uomo CEO Raffaello Napoleone says: modernity and technology conjugated to tradition. Light fabrics, soft and eco-friendly, with a vintage touch, from used jeans to leather jackets, all the way to the classic business suit.
Brunello Cucinelli, president and CEO of Gruppo BRUNELLO CUCINELLI said:
'I find this edition of Pitti very interesting, and I would double the "very". Buyers are coming with good budgets, on the average 5% higher than last season's. And there is a significant number of buyers from new markets – China, South America, the ex-Soviet Union – who are looking for high quality, refined products, and this is a segment where Made in Italy means important added value.

Ok, here is another post from me:
Anyhow, my husband just came home from his parents, who I love, with a delema.
Background: Last year they watched my boys 2 days a week and they went to daycare 3 days a week. I like the daycare. My ODS has been there since he was 12 weeks old.
This year (Riley is to start daycare on Monday) we were sending Riley back to daycare 3 days a week and to grandma and grandpa's 2 days a week. ODS will be dropped off and picked up form school from then.
Well, my husband came home and said they wanted to watch Riley all week, we would pay them which they do not want, but really need the money or she would have to get a part time job which would cut into the time transporting and watching Riley.
I love them so much and do not worry at all about them being with them. I just worry about social interaction.
I guess would you jump on the opportunity or not??

Welcome to America, All Trespassers Will be Rewarded
Presidential candidate George H. W. Bush hired evangelist Doug Wead, a divorced Assemblies of God preacher as a consultant in order to "galvanize the Religious Right."[1] Wead helped prepare Bush by acting out the part of televangelist Pat Robertson in a months-long series of exhaustively researched and well-financed mock presidential debates.[2] He coached the elder Bush on evangel-speak to help him connect with Christian fundamentalists.
A little more than a decade later, George W. Bush, already proficient in evangel-lingo, also hired Wead, the consultant. Evangelicals immediately recognize Bush as a professed "born-again Christian."[3] Wead, unbeknownst to Bush, taped many of their telephone conversations over a two year period of time. "The conversations spend much time on Bush's religious beliefs and his courting of the evangelical right."[4]
After Bush had become president he told Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, "God wanted me to be president."[5] Post election, Bush's propagandists, like David Frum, could employ phrases like "axis of evil" for Bush's State of the Union address on January 29, 2002.[6] It was sweet to the ears of his Religious Right constituency. Bush is surrounded by theocon handlers like Frum, author of The Right Man: The Surprise Presidency of George W. Bush. Chapter one opens with "Missed you at Bible study." Frum co-authored An End To Evil: What's Next in the War on Terror with Project for a New American Century (PNAC) charter member Richard Perle. Frum, like other Bush associates, has the perfect credentials – he was a senior fellow at the foundation-financed right-wing Manhattan Institute for Public Policy Research from 1995 to 2001.[7]
Bush's first use of the word "crusade" was five days after 9/11 and divulged his Christian Zionist mentality. He said: "This is a new kind of -- a new kind of evil. And we understand. And the American people are beginning to understand. This crusade, this war on terrorism is going to take a while."[8] This fallacious war on terror did not start with 9/11. Bush's crusade, the Iraqi Invasion, was repackaged and expensively sold as Operation Iraqi Liberation and then Operation Iraqi Freedom. The benign words "liberation" and "freedom" are Orwellian 1984 "newspeak" used to deceptively evoke support for long term warfare. Bush recently discontinued using the ambiguous phrase "stay the course." He was asked its meaning at a news conference on Oct. 11 but refused to be pinned down.[9]
"Stay the course means keep doing what you're doing," he said. "My attitude is, don't do what you're doing if it's not working; change."[10]
He added: "Stay the course also means don't leave before the job is done. And that's — we're going to get the job done in Iraq. And it's important that we do get the job done in Iraq."[11] And what job is that – the establishment of permanent military bases on one of the earth's biggest oil fields?
With continuous support from distinctive Christian theocons, Bush professes that the Iraqi quagmire is a "good versus evil" crusade and that he is on God's errand. On June 4, 2003, Bush reportedly said: "God told me to strike at al-Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East."[12] He doesn't mention that al-Qaeda and Saddam were both established and financed by the CIA. Nor does he acknowledge that monstrous sums of taxpayer dollars are pumping up administration-friendly companies who make millions of dollars as a result of the Iraqi invasion. Claiming that God approves of the horrific death toll and continuing violence against non threatening foreign citizens is a shameful effort to cover the stench of death emanating from the Middle East.
James Robison, the televangelist, met with Karl Rove and Governor George Bush who told him: "I feel like God wants me to run for president." … "I can't explain it, but I sense my country is going to need me. I know it won't be easy, on me or my family, but God wants me to do it." Robison set up a meeting with a group of major Pentecostal and Southern Baptist preachers who gathered around Governor Bush to lay hands on him. At another meeting "one pastor led a prayer asking God to 'put the mantle of a champion' on Bush."[13]
You define a tree by its fruit. George Bush invaded Iraq without just provocation, despite his claims: "See, free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction."[14] America, a "free" nation, manufactures the majority of the world's weapons, even those used against our own military during warfare. America, a "free" nation, invaded Iraq. According to Bush's prerequisites, are we peaceful, are we free?
Laura Bush, revising history, claimed: "No American President ever wants to go to war. Abraham Lincoln didn't want to go to war, but he knew saving the union required it. Franklin Roosevelt didn't want to go to war—but he knew defeating tyranny demanded it. And my husband didn't want to go to war, but he knew the safety and security of America and the world depended on it."[15] Humanitarian justifications are always used by the privileged elite, before or after the assault, to gain sympathetic support and to recruit canon fodder.
George W. Bush repeatedly claims that he has a direct pipeline to God. When discussing the imminent Iraqi invasion with Pat Robertson, "Bush insisted that he had a more direct pipeline to God than the pope!"[16] In 2003, Bush appeared before a cheering crowd at a Dallas Christian Youth Centre and told them about being "born again." Behind him were two banners: "King of Kings," and the other declared "Lord of Lords." "The symbolism of how fervent Christianity has become deeply entwined with the most powerful man on the planet could not have been stronger."[17]
This highly effective visual prepared for the impressionable is similar to the cleverly maneuvered "Mission Accomplished" exploitation on the correctly re-positioned USS Abraham Lincoln (minus San Diego in the background) when he gave a speech May 1, 2003.[18] The USS Abraham Lincoln and its sailors waited offshore for hours instead of heading into port after its 10-month voyage. Or, how about staged publicity production with the troops as props at Fort Bragg? Visual manipulation appears to be a tactic employed by the best of the Bush handlers, genius Karl Rove, "one of the most brilliant political operatives ever."[19]
In addition to using religion, "Rove re-packaged Bush as a brand. Instead of a Yale graduate who was scion of a blue-blood Connecticut family, Bush was presented as a straight-shooting Texan. Instead of showing off his 10,000 square-foot house on an estate that is larger than the Kennedy and Kerry compounds combined, Bush told everyone he lived on a ranch. Instead of defending his being the only presidential candidate ever convicted of a felony (drunk driving), Bush shifted the debate to President Clinton's adultery. While hobnobbing with Enron CEO Ken Lay, indicted Tom DeLay and influence-peddler Jack Abramoff, who has pled guilty to bribery of top government officials, Bush adroitly 'positioned' himself as a drugstore, truck-driving man."[20]
"According to the General Accounting Office (GAO), Bush spends more than four times on PR than any of his predecessors. His PR department has twice as many employees as the Clinton administration. Public relations agency Ketchum was paid more than $1 million in taxpayer funds to produce video PR releases designed to look like news reports. The Bush administration used $240,000 of taxpayer money to pay conservative commentator Armstrong Williams to promote Bush's education policies."[21]
It is all about perception management and Bush's expensive PR team will use any issue and spend any amount to create the right facade. Bush is a multi-faceted international bank puppet who functions according to any given situation or congregation, Jewish[22] or Christian.
"Religion is the most dangerous energy source known to humankind. The moment a person (or government or religion or organization) is convinced that God is either ordering or sanctioning a cause or project, anything goes. The history, worldwide, of religion-fueled hate, killing, and oppression is staggering."[23]
"Religious crusades are often counterproductive; they tend to end up in unsustainable occupations of people who -- surprise! -- believe they have their own pipeline to the Almighty."[24] Three years plus after the American invasion of Iraq, Americans are still dying along with thousands of Iraqis in a war purportedly against terror. Iran is also in the cross hairs.[25] The only benefactors are HalliburtonKBR, Blackwater, Caci and L3Titan who are stepping over bodies to pick up dollars.
Jerry Falwell, the religious leader of a 501C3 organization, endorsed Bush by saying: "I believe it is the responsibility of every political conservative, every evangelical Christian, every pro-life Catholic, every traditional Jew, every Reagan Democrat, and everyone in between to get serious about re-electing President Bush."[26] The New York Times, July 16, 2004
In certain cultures individuals attribute godly characteristics to their top political leader. Bush facilitates this belief because he represents himself as having a prophetic style of direct communication with deity. With God's alleged stamp of approval, attested to by numerous religious leaders, it is easy to manipulate the constituency. On July 9, 2004 he told an Amish group: "I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn't do my job."[27]
Jim Jones's history may hold an answer to this phenomenon. "He not only proved the obvious fact that people are blinded by their religious beliefs and will only impute goodness, mercy, and religious motivations to their leader, but Jim Jones proved the efficacy of the basic teaching of Machiavelli: a leader must only appear to have the qualities of goodness—he need not actually possess those attributes."[28] The illusion of goodness proves as effective as goodness itself.
"In fact, Machiavelli taught that it is dangerous for a leader to practice goodness. Instead, he must pretend to be good and then do the opposite. Machiavelli taught that a leader will succeed on appearances alone. A good leader puts his finger to the wind and changes course whenever it is expedient to do so."[29]
"After the Sept. 11 attacks, the White House carefully scripted the religious service in which the president declared war on terrorism from the pulpit of the National Cathedral. The president declared to the nation, 'our responsibility to history is already clear: to answer these attacks and rid the world of evil.' With most every member of the Cabinet and the Congress present, along with the nation's religious leaders, it became a televised national liturgy affirming the divine character of the nation's new war against terrorism, ending triumphantly with the 'Battle Hymn of the Republic.' War against evil would confer moral legitimacy on the nation's foreign policy and even on a contested presidency."[30]
"A simplistic 'we are right and they are wrong' theology rules out self-reflection and correction. It also covers over the crimes America has committed, which lead to widespread global resentment against us."[31] Power, without principle, is tyranny. Proud nations or people, who suppose moral superiority, employ religious sentimentality and arrogantly boast in their own strength are frequently left to their own devices and ultimately fall into decadent destruction.
Jim Wallis reminds us that it matters more that we are on God's side instead of claiming God is on our side. Does God really play favorites when both sides pray for assistance? Does God really care about who wins the high school football game? Shouldn't any issue, particularly a life and death situation, be decided by correct principles rather than who has the most advanced weapons, a preemptive advantage, questionable motives and the most money and men?
the invasion, Bush said to a group of church leaders at the National
Association of Religious Broadcasters conference in Nashville that
he was totally "at peace" about striking the "evil" Saddam Hussein.
"If anyone can be at peace, I am at peace about this." Apparently
this invasion had more to do with Bush's religious ideology than anything
else that would possibly warrant an invasion. Paul O'Neill, in his
book The Price of Loyalty, states that "ideology ruled the
White House." "Ideology is a lot easier, because you don't have to
know anything or search for anything." … "You already know the answer
to everything."[32]

Each year, the average New Yorker throws nearly 50 pounds of textiles such as old clothing, towels, and shoes out with the household trash.
GrowNYC, a nonprofit organization that works to improve New York City's quality of life through environmental programs, provides a way to reduce that waste: weekly textile recycling collections at eight of its year-round Greenmarkets have so far prevented one million pounds of it from hitting area landfills. "That's enough to fill 24 subway cars!" said Marcel Van Ooyen, GrowNYC's executive director.
GrowNYC currently partners with Wearable Collections, a New York-based company that sorts and redistributes materials to secondhand clothing markets, rag makers, and fiber recyclers. Weekly Greenmarket locations throughout the city accept a variety of recyclables, including household textiles, food scrap collections for composting, and rechargeable batteries and cell phones. For a full list of Greenmarket locations and acceptable donations, call 212-788-7964 or visit www.grownyc.org.

I looked at the size of the fabric/sewing machine/notions department in my local Wal-Mart. It was somewhat under 3000 sq. feet (56 x 40 tile squares). Has the size changed over the last year or so? Incidentally, 3 new Wal-Marts in our region, that I noticed, had RAGS shops next door (fabrics/crafts); however, RAGS wasn't doing well, last time I checked their financial reports.
One thing they stressed in the CC though was that Hancock is unique in the line developed especially for them...products that can't be found in a Walmart or anywhere else.(Notice they also mentioned the "personalities". They must read this board after all. LOL)
Yeah, I heard CC. Kyrstyr, if you ever sell all your HKF, I would appreciate a post after the fact.

A bit of a philosophical question, I suppose. Hope it belongs here.
C language has the standard set of bit-wise operations, including
NOT. Anyone has an idea why rotate left/rotate right isn't included in the language? These operators are of the same complexity as other bit-wise operators and normally require a single assembly instruction, like the others. Besides, I can think of a lot of uses for rotate operator, probably not less than, say,
xor operator - so it sounds a bit strange to me that they aren't included in C along with the rest.
Edit: Please stop suggesting implementations of rotation operators. I know how to do that and it's not what the question about.

Casey's has an experienced leadership team at the helm of this convenience store chain, a nice competitive advantage as it focuses on small towns in the Midwest (less/no competition in those smaller markets), and it still has expansion opportunities in its current markets and in newer states like Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and potentially Ohio and Michigan. This will carry growth, and online/mobile ordering, pizza delivery, and 24-hour stores should help boost comps in the meantime. I like the stock's odds of beating the market over the next 5+ years. Outperform.
5 star with 95% bullish, beat market last year, beat market last 30 days, familiar stock good industry, reasonable small cap.
10%+ projected growth, shows free cash flow, one with lower PE of this group.
Impressive net income gain on a slight decrease in revenue(due to low gasoline prices). Company is expanding prepared food business where they make their highest margins. Primarily located in Midwest with a lot of room to grow. Vertical integration in their supply chain will continue to benefit company and lower costs in the future.
CASY was entered on CAPs at $117.37. The PE ratio was 20.85.
The Company has stores in only 14 states. It is going to be fun to watch them add stores to those 14 states. It will be a while before they enter the next one most likely. They could quickly move into a new state through an acquisition, but they will do this only if it makes sense to do so. With their new distribution center in Terre Haute Indiana, they will be able to grow their presence in Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee where they have very few stores. Acquisitions are rare in this industry when gas prices are low. Even stations that are doing poorly are unlikely to sell in an environment when it is the easiest time to make money – when gas prices are low. But growth in new states isn't important at this point because they have so much room to grow in the 14 states where they currently have a presence.
CASY is concentrating on making their existing 1,904 stores more profitable, by adding delivery services to them. They are also transitioning their stores to the new 24-hour format. Lower gas prices has helped CASY sell not only more gas, but more food and merchandise. Margins have improved for each of their three business categories. Lower gas prices and lower commodity costs, especially for cheese has helped margins improve significantly.
This place is growing like crazy, and because of their locations, i think even if their fuel sales fall, people are going to want to "eat out" there. Plus, their pizza is pretty good, and I'm not the only one that loves pizze!
Geographic expansion opportunity
Strong financials
Casey's is well managed and growing steadily. Its new distribution center, opening Feb 2016, will allow the company to expand into the Southeast and eastern Kentucky and Tennessee. Online ordering is launching soon, which should boost pizza sales. And while gas prices stay low, stores should attract traffic to then spend on high-margin prepared foods.
Decent price for a long term winner
gas stores and pizza
Beginning start price $104.96
Casey's operates convenience stores in 14 Midwestern states, according to Morningstar.com. Which kind of surprised me, since living here in SW Missouri I've seen them grow...and grow...and grow. The fact they only operate in 14 states is a pleasant surprise, because I've seen so many pop up in new places.
CAPS lists CASY's dividend growth rate at 16.81% for 5 years. The last quarterly payout of $0.22 went ex-div 7/30/15, and represents another boost of 10%, up from $0.20 previously. There will be many, many more.
5 years ago the quarterly payout was $0.10. Although this payout has more than doubled in the last 5 years and has been increased for 15 consecutive years, the payout ratio still sits at only 18%.
Lots of room to grow. And grow they have. I've been watching.
Only 14 states so far?
Payout ratio of only 18%? ....What????
15 years of dividend growth...and they're just getting started.
Wow. Both Morningstar.com and CAPS lists a beta of only 0.39.
Let me illustrate what that means. Wild swings in the market don't produce wild swings in CASY's share price. You get steady, consistent growth more tied to actual business growth and less tied to the erratic behavior of the irrational herd.
It won't shoot up as much as the market when the market surges, but it won't crash when the market swoons, either.
Go to the CAPS scorecard for CASY. There are 3 pages listing over 200 active picks going back as far as 8/28/2006. Scan through all of these, and you'll find not one single green thumb pick in the red as I write this, NOT ONE!
Is that cool or what?
Back to Morningstar.com, where I see that gross margin is at a 10-year high at 18.5%.
Net income was $117M in 2010.
Net income for fiscal year 2015 was $181M.
Earnings per share for 2010 was $2.29.
Earnings per share for fiscal year 2015 was $4.62.
CASY hasn't bought back any shares in the past couple years, but in 2010 they had 51M shares outstanding...today they have 39M.
All this is only an overview. I could write much, much, more...all of it good.
Go to the CAPS "ratios" page for CASY. Look at net margin, gross margin, return on assets,...look at these. CAPS gives you these figures both for the trailing 12 months and the 5-year average.
The trailing 12 months earnings per share grew 81.2% from the trailing 12 months earnings per share from a year ago. That's there, too.
The 5-year earnings per share growth rate is 14.76%.
Can't go wrong with this.
Here's one more thing. Read this.
Still a small footprint with a huge runway. Growing fast with a P/E of about 23 and earnings growth of 41%. Looks to be a great long-term winner.
Already an active pick for me in Motley Fool Stock Advisor -- typing this in now just because I mentioned it in conjunction with my Rule Breaker Investing podcast today as a stock I like for the next 3+ years. CAPS is about accountability! Also, kind of fun and interesting in that the market has been getting beat up over the past 10 days. Outperform.
to & sa
Competing in towns under 5000 where people think gas station pizza is good (because IT IS)

Air-con, minibar and satellite TV keep you company in the semi-comfy rooms with basic furnishings, while free WiFi is in the lobby next to the car rental and language-guide hiring services. Staff service shines with an included European breakfast served in a spacious dining room, and to add to that they have a complimentary shuttle pick-up, laundry service and several generators to keep the electricity and the elevator moving smoothly.

YESCO Introduces Y72 LCD System To Expand Leadership In Outdoor Advertising Market
LAS VEGAS, Dec. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- YESCO announced today the introduction of a new product in its growing line of Outdoor Interactive LCD systems. The Y72P is a free-standing Outdoor Rated (IP65) UL Listed sign system that has brightness levels in excess of 2000 nits (cd/m2). (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121212/LA28812)The Y72P system features a completely new architecture engineered by YESCO. The innovative system will help change the world of outdoor advertising by bringing to the market a product that has a longer lifetime, is easily serviceable, and much lower cost to install and operate than any comparable technology. "We went back to the drawing board and started from the ground up," stated Manuel Lynch, General Manager of YESCO Outdoor LCD. "Instead of just putting an LCD into a weatherproof cabinet, we thought of every part and how it operates together. We took the most complex technologies and made them usable and accessible to the global outdoor market." The Y72P is a 72" diagonal, high temperature LG LCD, with a state-of-the-art, long lifetime white LED backlighting system designed by YESCO. It uses Nichia of Japan LEDs that are greater than 130 lumens per watt that produce a brightness level of more than 2000 nits in direct sunlight. The Y72P system also features a modular architecture that integrates an LCD control center. This technology incorporates the latest in advanced high-density multi-core computer processing which delivers true HD content. The Y72P has a proprietary environmental control center that adjusts internal cabinet temperature to maintain constant safe operating temperatures for all sensitive components. YESCO will provide 24-hour service and support to keep the sign operating at full capacity. The entire Y72P system can be remotely monitored. "Our system has lower service costs because we simplified the design and eliminated the need for high-priced service technicians," continued Mr. Lynch. "We can let customers know when a system needs to be changed or serviced. The modular system can be switched in minutes to have virtually no downtime."

Women with heavier, larger bodies than what society has, for whatever reason, deemed most attractive have long been neglected in the porn world, relegated to obscure niche titles with little to offer mainstream porn fans. Plumper Pass, on the other hand, has been bringing BBWs to the mainstream for years and, with recent upgrades and updates to its private members area, this outstanding BBW venture is even more appealing than ever. With 1080p HD videos and high-res photos showcasing every curve and crevice and crack of porn's top heavy-set stars, Plumper Pass is as tasty as it looks.
Many female admirers concentrate too heavily on youth, but what of those women whose youth was merely the training ground for the sexual awakening that is their thirties? What of those peaking sexually in their mid-forties? Aren't they also deserving of attention? Focused entirely on mature women between thirty and seventy - which, really, is quite an age range! - Anilos celebrates the sensual, lustful, and even romantic sides of its model roster, equal parts pros and amateurs, in fetching HD videos and high-res photos that prove, wrinkles be damned, these ladies are still scorching hot!
Wicked Pictures is one of porn's most celebrated studios and, taking a look at the official video site of this adult industry stalwart, it's easy to see why. High production values - think blockbuster movies but with more throbbing dicks - and a roster of female performers that rivals that of any other top studio take Wicked far beyond what most studios even bother to attempt. From Jessica Drake's Guide to Fellatio to Axel Braun's Trashy MILFs, Wicked Pictures has plenty to be proud of.
Viv Thomas is among the most reputable erotic photographers working today, having amassed a huge catalog of lesbian, foot fetish, and erotic shorts and features now available on his very own Viv Thomas website. Not content to just continue his awesome work online, Thomas has aimed high, adding 4K Ultra-HD videos that, coupled with his devotion to rich visuals, stunning European beauties, and a deeply affecting take on sexuality, Viv Thomas is the man to beat in this niche.
Women are undoubtedly one of the most consistent sources of joy in the lives of those that admire them, so it's only natural there should be an adult erotica site entitled FemJoy. Home to a large and daiiy-updated collection of naturalistic outdoor shoots and more intimate indoor encounters, FemJoy is a fantastic celebration of all that makes women (in this case, specifically young Central and Eastern European women) bring such joy to our lives and libidos.
Guess what lies inside the members area of First Time Video Girls. Go on, guess! (Man, you're smart!) Filled with tantalizing young ladies posing nude on the Internet (allegedly) for the very first time, FTV Girls welcomes blondes, redheads, and brunettes of all shapes, sizes, nationalities, and sexualities to appear in its collection of softcore (and occasionally hardcore) delights. Will you remember you first time at the HD-equipped globe-trotting FTV Girls?
Call it your special hidden palace of love or call it a members-only all-male hardcore network of twelve exclusive websites, either way, Gay Room is calling, commanding you to watch its hunky men and nervous, excited boys slurp the semen from each others cocks, ride plump and pert butts in fierce ass-bangings, and worship some of the more impressive male forms to enter gay porn in some time. Home to Gay Castings, Massage Bait, Boys Destroyed, and nine other sites, Gay Room makes on powerful sexual statement.
Point-of-view pornography was once an absurd gimmick made possible by lighter cameras. Now, with most folks owning a cell phone that functions as a high-resolution image recorder of some kind, POV porn isn't relegated to obscure studios. In fact, so many POV porn sites litter the 'net it can be very difficult to tell which is worthwhile and which isn't. POVD earns its keep with a unique approach to HD POV hardcore, one that honors the pseudo-virtual-reality style developed by others but pushes it further into more direct, more exciting, and (according to one user) "more sexier" territory. Can POVD save POV porn from blandness and unoriginality? It sure as shit looks that way. Nice one, POVD.

Summary: A nonperturbative approximate analytical solution is derived for the Lane-Emden equation using the Adomian decomposition method. The solution is in the form of a power series with easily computable coefficients. The Padé approximants method is used to accelerate the convergence of the power series. Comparison with some known exact and numerical solutions shows that the present solution is highly accurate.

in my opinion.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
That'd be $1.20 to quite a few folks.
Yeah about 700 shares of my position feels that way.
On the up side I was working my way up to 10k shares and they made it so I only needed 1k shares, wasn't that nice of them?
Hey though, tomorrow we might break it and keep it for all time, so things aren't THAT bad. Anyone with a short position is a total idiot (though I guess if they get lucky they may be able to cover around 11.60 on dips prior to earnings), and anyone without any position at all is just darn foolish. When you see a leader in a market lag the recovery but still have a viable business with reasonable assets and advantages among their target customers that the others don't have well . . . it may not be the kind of profits that I called on Apple when the ITMS opened, but it's still easy money.
Yer gonna take the blame for not knocking on wood?
That's ok, I didn't expect us to breach $12 until tomorrow anyway, as close as we got to it today was impressive, it shows more people are awaking to the fact that most ETrade "losses" have been provisioning and the losses they're provisioning for might now be moot.

AF convenes officer RIF board, offers voluntary separation pay
By Debbie Gildea, Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs
/ Published January 28, 2014
JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas (AFNS) --
The Air Force will convene an officer reduction in force board June 16 to evaluate eligible officers for retention, Air Force Personnel Center officials said Jan. 27. Officers who meet the RIF board and are not selected for retention must separate by Jan. 31, 2015.
RIF is among several fiscal 2014 force management programs that have been or will be implemented to help achieve manpower and force structure goals as the service focuses on 2015 and beyond, said Lt. Col. Rick Garcia, the AFPC retirements and separations branch chief.
Prior to convening the board, the Air Force will accept applications from RIF-eligible officers for the voluntary separation pay and Temporary Early Retirement Authority programs.
RIF-eligible officers may apply for voluntary separation pay between Feb. 6 and May 1. Those approved will receive 1.25 times the standard full separation pay and may apply for separation effective Sept. 29, Garcia said. Officers who meet the RIF board and are selected for separation will be entitled to full separation pay. To review VSP eligibility and application instructions, go to
and enter PSDM 14-08 in the search window.
Eligible officers may also apply for TERA between Jan. 14 and March 26, 2014. To review TERA eligibility and application instructions, go to
and enter PSDM 13-128 in the search window.
Officers eligible to meet the RIF board include line of the Air Force, biomedical sciences corps, dental corps, medical corps, medical service corps and nurse corps captains in year groups 2005-2008 and LAF majors in year groups 2001-2003 with the above majors in year groups from 1997-2007 depending on the specific non-line corps. The board will also consider LAF-J officers with a date of rank to major of May 1, 2010 through Sept. 30, 2013. Officers with fewer than six years of active commissioned time or 18 years or more of total active-duty service as of Jan. 31, 2015 will not be considered for RIF. In addition, officers on an approved promotion list and those with less than a year of time in grade by Jan. 31, 2015 will not be considered. Officers eligible for retirement or within two years of eligibility by the mandatory separation date will also not meet the board.
Officers selected for separation will not have to pay back funds associated with education, permanent change of station, and other active-duty service commitment programs, but may have to repay any Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits transferred to their families, if they have not fulfilled the associated ADSC, Garcia said.
All separating and retiring Airmen must attend a transition assistance program offered at their local Airman and Family Readiness Center. The program includes congressionally mandated pre-separation counseling; a required five-day transition workshop; veterans benefit briefings, which include details on disability; one-on-one assistance to develop an individual transition plan and a capstone, which requires commander concurrence that the member has met all career readiness standards.
Other related services include employment resources; financial planning and management; spouse employment assistance; relocation assistance and general information and referral.
"We highly encourage all Airmen affected by force management programs to sign up early for a TAP class," Garcia said. "Force management coupled with routine separations and retirements activity will have a significant impact on availability. So waiting until you learn the results of the board may prevent you from getting into a conveniently-scheduled class."
For more information about the reduction in force and voluntary separation pay, including application instructions, go to
and enter "PSDM 13-130" in the search window.
