Home improvement spending is highly correlated with trends in the economy, job markets, and housing markets. Here is what has changed over the past quarter and the full year in terms of macroeconomic fundamentals, and in terms of Home Depot's company specific strategies:
Home Depot EBITDA Margin: From 2009-2014, Home Depot improved margins to about 16% by streamlining its operations, supply chain, and cutting down heavily on its SG&A expenses. Margins were also aided due to the 5.3% growth in same store sales. Going forward, we expect the margins to continue to slightly increase to cross the 17% mark over the Trefis forecast period, with further operating leverage as comps improve. However, if the comps stay flat, and there is limited or no operating leverage, margins could decline to around 15%, causing a 10% downside to our current price estimate. On the other hand, if the housing market and home improvement industry continue to strengthen, and outpace previously forecast growth estimates, and comps improve better than expected at 4-5% over the next few years, there could be a 15 to 20% upside to our current price estimate.
Home Depot is the world's largest retailer of home improvement products. Home Depot has grown to 2,269 stores spanning across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. It offers a wide range of home improvement products and installation services to individual home owners as well as professional builders. In addition to the physical stores, consumers can buy these products through the company's dedicated website.
Home Depot has deep penetration in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Due to its large number of stores, Home Depot's sales are nearly one-and-a-half times those of its closest competitor, Lowe's.
Home Depot's business is vulnerable to the housing market, and the housing slowdown has widely affected its sales. In fact, Home Depot had to close down its EXPO and HD supply businesses as their sales were badly impacted during the housing market downturn, making these businesses highly unprofitable.
The Plumbing, Electrical and Kitchen division, and the Hardware and Seasonal products division, are more valuable than Home Depot's other divisions for the following reasons:
The Plumbing, Electrical and Kitchen market size is more than double the Hardware and Seasonal market and Paint and Flooring market combined. Consumers are more likely to buy home plumbing, electrical, and kitchen products owing to the importance in their daily lives. For example, products like electrical lights, kitchen appliances, water pipes, wash basins, toilets, and showers, are basic requirements for every household. These products become necessary for consumers to fix when they break. Home Depot occupies a much higher market share in the Hardware and Seasonal tools category, compared to the Plumbing, Electrical and Kitchen division.
Sears is the leading U.S. appliance retailer, but has been losing market share to Home Depot in the last few years. Home Depot's market share in appliances improved by 0.6% in 2014, and could further grow while Sears continues to struggle. Around 78% of Home Depot's stores are within 10 miles of a Sears location.
Though the Building Materials, Lumber and Millwork market is almost twice the size of the Plumbing, Electrical and Kitchen market ($278 Billion v. $144 Billion), it is a very fragmented market and Home Depot currently captures only around 5.4% of it. In comparison, Home Depot's share in Plumbing, Electrical and Kitchen goods is about 16% and in Hardware and Seasonal Tools it is close to 50% -- although the Plumbing market is three times larger ($144 Billion for Plumbing v. $44 Billion for Hardware).
In 2013 and 2014, Home Depot outpaced Lowe's in terms of same store sales growth with better pricing.
Home Depot has been stealing valuable market share from arch-rival Lowe's due to better pricing models. In late 2011, Lowe's had decided to move away from promotions to everyday low prices to establish itself as the retailer offering the most competitive prices. However, Lowe's sales continue to struggle more than they already would have in a depressed housing market as customers continued to seek discounts, particularly for discretionary and big-ticket purchases. Home Depot has been grabbing market share from Lowe's due to better pricing models. Transactions over $900 contribute around 20% of all U.S. sales for Home Depot, growing 10.3% in Q4 2014.
Following the recession, Home Depot focused on cost-cutting and improving customer service, whereas Lowe's opted for promotional sales and kept opening new stores, which produced diminishing returns. Since mid-2009, Home Depot's quarterly comparable-sales-growth rates have consistently outpaced Lowe's. The trend continued into 2014, although the gap narrowed possibly on account of the data breach at Home Depot. Comparable store sales for Home Depot grew by 5.3% in 2014, and are expected to grow by approximately 4.5% in 2015 against continued recovery in the U.S. economy and housing markets.
Online retail has been an emerging threat to the market share of brick and mortar home improvement retailers like Home Depot and Lowe's. For this reason both companies have made significant investments in online strategies, including small acquisitions and improvements in the web experience for their customers.
As a result of the gradual market recovery, Home Depot's same store sales growth (comps) has gradually improved from 2.9% in 2010 to 5.3% in 2014, and is expected to increase by 4.5% in 2015. This helped Home Depot improve its margins through operating expense leverage during 2010-2014. Going forward, we expect comps to continue to improve at 3.5-4.5%, as sales rise. This should bring in further operating expense leverage, thereby pushing up margins.
Home Depot has been focusing on supply-chain improvements through its central distribution system. We expect overall margins to further improve as the company continues its supply-chain improvements. Rapid Deployment Centers (RDC) aim to aggregate product needs for multiple stores to a single purchase order, and then rapidly allocate and deploy inventory to individual stores upon arrival at the RDC. This move aims to simplify the ordering process and improve inventory management. Home Depot has 18 fully mechanized RDCs in the U.S.
Until the housing market situation in the U.S. improves even further, more buying action is anticipated from DIY customers. Repair & maintenance of small house projects will dominate DIY activity. The North American Retail Hardware Association (NRHA) forecasts that plumbing and electrical products will be a major part of consumer spending in the near future. The spending will come mainly from DIY consumers who will demand more selection, information, and service from the retailers.
A survey from NRHA suggests a change in the buying patterns among U.S. home improvement consumers. People are no longer only loyal to products made in the U.S. Consumer demand is driven more by price and quality. Consumers may find foreign products, which may be better suited to their needs, and more appealing than products made in the U.S. Another observable trend is the shift in consumers toward buying green or eco-friendly products, such as water-saving flushes and electricity-saving appliances.
With the change in U.S. demographics due to the aging of the 77 million baby boomers (representing 28% of the U.S. population, and accounting for 77% of all financial assets), we expect an increase in Do it For Me (DIFM) customers. This is good for retailers, such as Home Depot, as they can reap additional revenue by providing installation services, unlike in the case of Do it Yourself (DIY) customers.

In one of the most curious moves I've read about in month's, the Dallas Cowboys announced that Victoria's Secret is opening a store in Dallas Cowboys Stadium. The store will be opening in the concourses of the stadium in time for the team's game Monday night against the Chicago Bears. The Houston Chronicle reports that the store will be located near Entry A to the stadium.
The paper reports that the store will sell lingerie, t-shirts, hoodies, tank tops, underwear and Cowboys clothing.
I can't really see how this idea ever cleared the marketing office. I've attended a lot of football games in my lifetime and at no point, in any stadium, have I ever felt the need to swing by and pick up some undergarments for my wife. Sorry, that's just how I roll.
I understand that more and more women are attending football games and women are now making up a significant portion of apparel sales, but placing a Victoria's Secret in a football stadium? It's already costly enough to attend a football game and seeing one at Dallas Cowboys Stadium is among the most expensive. I'm thinking that men and women who might be planning a visit to Victoria's Secret will likely head to the mall and won't be visiting the stadium store.

The person (a young black woman) who staffed the front desk on Sat. morning was responsive when we asked her about putting out some more food. Because she was by herself, I took it upon myself to help her out. I could see she needed to be in two places at once. She cleaned up the area and put out more food. The second day, Sunday a.m., there was young black woman there who impressed my husband as unresponsive. We came to get breakfast, she said breakfast was over but it was still before 10a. Others came also, and were met with the same response. ...

How to Make Waves at the Top of Your Head
Have you ever wondered how to get waves? Well if you read my article I will instruct you on how to get waves.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Go to your local supermarket to get your items.
- The items you would get is Murray's pomade, hairbrush and a dew-rag.
2Make sure your hair is clean. If not you would need to shampoo it.
3Get some of the Murray's pomade and rub through your hair.
4Get a towel and make it a hot damp towel, then put it on your head for 2 minutes
5Go get your brush and brush your hair for like 15 to 20 minutes
6Then go get your du-rag and tie it on your head.
7Keep on doing that and you will have waves in like 2 days, but don't keep on shampooing your hair though.
8Make sure you get your hair cut like every 2-4 weeks.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- The best time to do those steps are when you are about to go to sleep. So you would sleep with your du-rag on so it won't mess up your hair. But always brush your hair. If you brush your hair a lot your waves would show up good. Keep your hair like 1 in long so your waves would show.
- Don't shampoo your hair too much. Over-use can dry out your hair and scalp, so its best to shampoo in moderation.

Phnom Penh: Education is very important for each individual to find a good job in the future. However, in order to get one good job, it also requires work experience along with our knowledge.
Through hard work in learning and volunteer work with Youth Council of Cambodia (YCC), Mr. Eam Bunna, 27 years old, has become a branch manager of YCC Phnom Penh.
This tall man with fair skin and smiling face is speaking slowly about his struggle life before becoming YCC staff. He said, "I am a son from poor famer family in Yeang Thom village, Chy Puch commune, Me Sang district, Prey Veng province. My parents are very old, and I have 7 siblings. I am the 5th child who has the opportunity to pursue education higher than other siblings."
Bunna was a primary school student in Por Sala primary school in 1991. From 1996 to 1999, he studied at Me Sang secondary school. In 2006, he moved to live with his aunt in Phnom Penh city and continued his study in Sonthor Muk high school.
In Phnom Penh city, it was difficult living with his relatives and getting warmness from his family, and it affected his study. During that time, he spent some times being a passenger caller, who work was to find passengers for the taxi drivers, with his cousin to earn some income to support his study and his family at the homeland.
Due to difficult living condition, he couldn't spend enough time on his study which made him fail his grade 12 national exam, and he had to spend more than two years to finish it.
At the end of 2006, after passing grade 12 national exam, he continued his study in Bachelor of Khmer literature at Royal University of Phnom Penh. During his four years at the university, he was advised by his friends to join a one-month course about "Advanced Democracy Seminar" in August 2007 at YCC Phnom Penh. After that, he became youth network doing volunteer work until 2010.
When he was a youth network at YCC, he had many opportunities to participate in social works and learn about his surrounding environment. The activities he took part included: persuading people to clean up the environment, joining advocacy workshop, making petition to commune-songkat, participating in Woman Rights campaign, writing marching grants, doing fundraising to buy library materials, joining youth conference and debate about human rights, camping, attending commune meeting, and managing various projects. These are good experience for his success in commune-songkat in Phnom Penh with YCC.
As YCC was recruiting more staff and giving chances to potential youth network, Mr. Bunna decided to apply for the job. Since his capacity was limited, and he was busy with his study, he failed two to three time in applying to be official staff at YCC.
However, through his work experience, his struggle, hard work, belief in his ability, and desire to work with YCC, he was given third chance to apply for the job. As a result, he succeeded and became a branch manager of YCC Phnom Penh at the end of 2012 until now.
The interview of Mr Bunna's life and work shows about the true story and the struggle of doing volunteer work with YCC which enables him to become branch manager who can build more youth network throughout 16 targeted Songkat in Phnom Penh to take part in volunteer work and sever the society with love and success.
Address:#37A, St.348 , Sangkat Boeng Kengkong III, Khan Chamkamon, Phnom Penh.

607 of 703 people found the following review helpful
USB output too low,
This review is from: Belkin Mini 5W 3-Outlet Swivel Travel Charger with Dual USB Ports (Electronics)
**This review relates to the 1 Amp, 3-outlet version and was posted prior to the introduction of the new products that have been combined into one listing.
To get directly to this items flaw... It cannot recharge/power more than one USB item at a time. So what's the point in having two USB outputs?
The 120V outlets work as advertised. The ability to rotate the prongs is a plus as it can be adjusted to most if not all outlets.
The USB power fails if more than one item at a time is plugged into the surge protector. Even if, say your phone is fully charged, if you go to connect another item to run or charge, the surge protector will not supply the power that both items demand. The items that are connected will act as if they have been disconnected from their power source, then once the surge protector accumulates enough power(not certain, but seem to act as if there are capacitors)to start supplying power once again the items connected to the USB ports start to operate briefly until the surge protector cannot supply enough power for the two items.
As stated before, it will supply ONE item with power, without a problem. But will not supply enough power for two, even if one item is fully charged.
** Thank you Jeff Backe, I've been putting off editing this post in response to all the people saying that '500mA is the standard' for quite some time. This 500mA WAS the standard well before I made this purchase. The newer standard for wall chargers, which I believe this falls under, has been out since around mid 2007. This new specification is UP TO 1800mA(1.8A) per port.
When I made my purchase there also weren't the nice pictures that show you the current rates. So there really wasn't any way for me to know this until I received it.
Another thing, this item is rated at 500mA(.5mA) per port but is not actually limited to 500mA at the port if you only plug in one item. In other words, the way this item is configured it will actually put out the full 1000mA(1A)through one port, hence the reason you can plug in a high current draw device using one port. But when you plug in that second item the 1000mA is now split in half or however much each device is trying to draw. It is only able to keep up with this high demand for a short while until its capacitors are drained and cuts off supplying power, then quickly recharges the capacitors and re-establishes the supply of power once again. This cycling can't be good for either device.

I've had a netbook, a Kodak zi8 pocket cam, an iPhone and a 120 gb iPod classic all charging at the same time on this unit. Two were the outlets on front & two were the USB. Please don't post reviews that are inaccurate. I can't speak to your exact situation, but given the high ratings this unit has, a reasonable person may think perhaps your unit is defective (and try to get a replacement.) This unit does indeed function just fine. To make a blanket statement that you cannot charge two usb devices simultaneously is just plain wrong.

avraam jack says:
His review is accurate.
The boc clearly states that each port only puts out half an amp.
The Ipad needs two amps and many modern usb devices need more than half an amp.
This unit is obsolete. Belkin and Amazon should be ashamed to sell it.

Gents, it's really all about the details. An iPad need 2 amps to charge and my iPhone 3g (older one) needs 1 amp. Charging at lower amperages will take longer and in some cases the device will not accept the charger at all so this comment is legit. For $12 you get what you pay for. Phones and mp3 players will eat up more amps as we get better screens, more memory etc. It would be nice for all ads to show amperage as most people will be oblivious to the facts.

5v@500mA is the industry STANDARD folks, it's exactly the same power output as any powered USB port from any computer.
If your device can't charge via your computer's USB port, it can't be charged via this Belkin Mini Surge Protector.
To reiterate:
- 5v@500mA is industry standard
- Many of the newer generation smartphones (like my Nexus One) come with 1Amp AC Adapters...But it will still charge using only 500mA, which of course means it will take twice as long to fully charge (or even longer still if I try using it while it's charging)
Before bashing a product, a little investigation into how things work would save a lot of frustration.

@ SuzieL, I never said there was anything wrong with the 120V power source, so you can drop the two items that were plugged into the 120V receptacles in your rebuttal statement. Not sure if you didn't read the whole comment or if you added them for dramatic effect.

My iPhone 3GS + wife's Blackberry (Curve?) = no charge.
Unfortunately, we didn't detect this interaction until I had already thrown out the packaging. So we're basically stuck with it.

Pasadena Gadget Guy says:
For people who have devices with high power requirements, a great investment is two male USB to one female USB power Y-cable (available for ~$3 on eBay). This is the same kind of USB power cable packaged with portable hard drives which also require more power than one single USB port can provide.
Having that 2M->1F Y-cable allow you to use your own charging cable and draw up to 1A power from two industry standard USB ports to allow faster charging of iPad, Droid, and other high power devices.

Y. Lin,
Thanks for your post. I was attempting to charge a portable GPS that required a 1A charger from a similar surge protector, with two .5A USB ports. It never occurred to me to employ the adapter cable -- sitting right on my desk in a case with a portable USB drive! Appreciate the tip, it's now charging away.

R. L. Epps says:
given the information listed in the other comments, it may help to revise your review to state that while it will dual charge standard 500ma devices, it will not support higher end devices. this post in not accurate in every case and as currently listed may mislead a consumer like my self who is fine with .5a ports.
iv'e dual charged my psp go and my xperia x10a many times with this device.

freddiegriggs says:
Indeed, 5V/500mA is the USB standard. But ports on most devices can put out more than 500 mA, and the makers of peripherals are increasingly relying on this ability of ports to put out more than the standard. Usually this works out fine but sometimes not. If you want to "blame" anyone (which isn't really productive IMO), blame the peripheral manufacturers who rely on USB current being available above the standard value.

Are you talking about where the kite flips backward, then back to it's original position?
If so, that's called a flic flac...
It doesn't require any special equipment, although having a lot of brake or the extra weight of magic sticks (stand offs) can help a little.
The flic flac is initiated with a sharp, short and powerful jab downward and back with the bottom lines and a step forward, all in the blink of an eye, very quickly.
Once the bottom tips have flipped up (so you can see the back of the kite), use the same motion again (bottom lines) while taking the step back.
Ill be doing a video tutorial on the flic flac very soon, I'll be sure to post info here once it's available.
Thanks mate , yes thats what l mean . l will go and try it tomorrow at the beach and let you know how l got on .

Astringent, strong, alcoholic on the nose. Candied fruit---sweet cherry, strawberry, cotton candy (a bit), and some yeasty, sweet, and spicy flavor at the middle and end of the palate. The spice at the end really helps balance this wine out.

Reserve Bank's interest rate cuts kick in and property sector starts to show signs of life
- From: Herald Sun
- October 16, 2012
THE Reserve Bank's interest rate cutting cycle is starting to pay dividends with the Australian property sector showing signs of life after a prolonged period of misery.
Home loan approvals in August jumped to their highest level since the central bank started cutting rates in November last year.
Official data shows the number of home loans for owner occupiers approved in August rose a "surprising" 1.8 per cent to 45,821 - its highest level this year.
This upswing in the housing sector follows stronger than expected jobs growth last week with employers adding almost three times the number of workers expected despite unemployment rising to 5.4 per cent - its highest level in 2 1/2 years.
Even after cutting the cash rate by 1 per cent in the past 12 months, RBA Governor Glenn Stevens was upbeat that the central bank still has enough "ammunition" to cut rates again.
He told a seminar at the International Monetary Fund's annual meeting in Tokyo on the weekend that Australia has room to adjust if the global economy slows further.
The official cash rate is tipped by some economists to drop to a record low of 2.5 per cent by March.
The market has priced in as odds-on that the central bank will lower rates for a second consecutive month on Melbourne Cup Day to take the official cash rate to 3 per cent - its lowest level since the heights of the financial crisis.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics report released yesterday shows the value of total housing finance rose 0.6 per cent in August, seasonally adjusted, to $20.301 billion. The biggest rises in the mainland states were in Queensland, NSW and Western Australia.
In Victoria, the market remains subdued with owner-occupiers' finance commitment down 1.2 per cent, seasonally adjusted.
CitiGroup economist Josh Williamson said the uplift was a "positive".
"The average monthly growth rate over the past six months is just 0.4 per cent," he said.
"However, at least it remains positive. Our view remains for a moderate housing construction recovery next year."
The beleaguered home-building industry has also been buoyed by the 4.1 per cent lift in loans to intending owner-occupiers for new homes.

The Show with Geoff Sheen
The Bills Front Office Is Gross
Posted August 6th, 2014 @ 11:10am
I will fully admit we are doing WAY TOO MUCH Buffalo Bills blogging on this page. But this is just gross.
While Bills fans are worried about Bon Jovi buying their team, they apparently should be more worried about something far more dangerous: unhealthy vaginal hygine of their cheerleaders. From Slate:
The [Buffalo Jills] cheerleader handbook includes three items about vaginal hygine.11. Intimate area's: Never use a deodorant or chemically enhanced product. Simple, non-deodorant soap will help maintain the right PH balance.12. When menstruating, use a product that right for your menstrual flow. A tampon too big can irritate and develop fungus. A product left in too long can cause bacteria or fungus build up. Products can be changed at least every 4 hours. Except when sleeping, they can be left in for the night.13. Clean/rinse razor often while shaving. Especially after going to a new "area". Change razors often, they harbor bacteria.
That last one isn't explicitly genital-focused, but I think we all know what they're talking about.
Yikes. And gross.

No one had posted a picture of this recipe yet and I wondered why. Well, probably because they were gone as soon as they came out. I was quick to snap a photo before they were devoured! Very delicious. I added a couple of steps: 1.) The recipe did not indicate if the bread was suppose to rise (it had yeast) so I let it rise about 45 mins. 2.) I used pumpkin pie mix instead of the pumpkin filling because pumpkin pie mix already has most of the ingredients called for and tastes just as good. 3.) I brushed my empanadas with an egg wash before baking. This gave it a beautiful shine. Next time a will also try a pinnaple filling. Thanks for posting this recipe!
Good recipe, reading some of the reviews before trying this recipe and with some helpful hints left out I would suggest that those not familiar with doughs and yeast would like to know that the water need to be about 115 to 120 degrees with an instant read thermometer and with some yeast recipes like pizza doughs, just cover with a clean kitchen towel or flour sackcloth on a dusted surface and let the dough rest for 10 or 15 minutes before dividing. A bench scraper works great for the dividing. Beautiful silky dough. I added 1tsp vanilla and replaced the ginger with cardamom. Really nice!
I just made these as an appetizer for Thanksgiving and they were eaten by non-vegans, except myself. They were a huge hit! I used, by accident, a pumpkin pie can and it tasted really good anyways. It had cinnamon in it already, and I added more so there was a bit too much cinnamon. The wraps were easy to make and delicious. I used canola oil to coat the lining to keep it together, but it did on its own. I could not fit more than a tablespoon in each, so I had a lot of pumpkin leftover. I will take the leftovers and sprinkle sugar on top and eat it as a dessert.
These were tasty! I did have some issues trying to wrap the dough around the filling. I don't think this was the recipe's fault as much as my own (My g/f had no problem wrapping them, but I'm not the gentlest guy.) A lot of my empanada wrappers were torn and I was afraid that the filling would go everywhere. But the filling stayed inside and there wasn't a mess to clean up! They weren't the prettiest things I've ever seen though.
Easy to make & delicious. I made them smaller by dividing the dough to make 32 small empanadas. They're kid-sized & my kids love to help make them & eat them, too!
Made as directed but deep fat fried in 350 degree F peanut oil. They were delicious! I must add I basically love all things pumpkin - non-pumpkin eaters might not be so enthralled...soooo... Sprinkled them with cinnamon/powdered sugar after they came out of frier (amazingly light crispy & nongreasy!) & had for dessert after dinner. They were also good with black coffee the next morning. Will make these again! Oh I made the dough in the bread machine! Thank you, Molly53, for posting this crispy pumkiny indulgence!
My mother used to make these back in the day. She used fresh pumpkin and blocks of mexican brown sugar called piloncillio. One of the best parts is when I would find a cooked pumpkin seed inside. It was so goooooood. Now that her home is in heaven, I find myself cooking her recipes and making traditions of my own with my daughter following. So, thank you so much for this recipe. This weekend I know what I'll be cooking. Let you know how it went.
I'm used to empanadas with pastry crusts. The yeast in this recipe is interesting. I like the lighter texture.
Made these for my husband last night. They turned out pretty good! Our house smelled soooo good! He says they could probably use some sugar on the crust to make the crust a little bit more like a pastry. They were easy to make.
These were okay. I made a bunch for a faux-Thanksgiving meal. I added a bit of vanilla and nutmeg to the filling to sweeten it up. I am a huge baker but I've never baked anything with yeast before. I ended up letting the dough rise a bit between batches and it was easy to work with. I also brushed the dough with egg wash before baking. Completed product was okay but just okay. This is probably personal preference, but I did not like the texture of the filling. (I know, I know, what kind of texture did I think pumpkin has?). The dough was soft and the filling was a squishy too. Just needed a little more contrast for me. If I made this again, I would absolutely add some nuts into the filling!

In the past few years, deflationary positions in the debate on the nature of composite material objects have become prominent. According to Ted Sider these include the thesis of quantifier variance, against which he has defended ontological realism. Recently, Sider has considered the possibility of rejecting his arguments against the vagueness of the unrestricted quantifiers in terms of translation functions. Against this strategy, he has presented an intuitive complaint and has argued that it can only be resisted if quantifier variance is accepted. But this is false. In this paper I argue, against Sider, that there is a coherent way to combine the rejection of quantifier variance with the vagueness of the unrestricted quantifiers. I sketch a model to show this, and then I consider, on the basis of it, several versions of the indeterminacy argument against the vagueness of the unrestricted quantifiers that Sider has formulated over the years.

Associated Systems Theory: A Systematic Approach to Cognitive Representations of Persons
Donal E. Carlston Purdue University
What is all Knowledge too but recorded Experience . . . of which, therefore, Reasoning and Belief, no less than Action and Passion, are essential materials?
-- Carlyle ( 1907, p. 84)
People's impressions of other people have been extensively studied within the areas of impression formation, attribution, person perception, and social cognition ( Fiske & Taylor, 1991). Within these realms, research has seemingly equated impressions with trait ascriptions, group memberships, or interpersonal attraction. A central theme of the current chapter is that impressions embody these cognitions and more. As Carlyle said about knowledge more generally, impressions are "recorded experience," and what they record is arguably a wide range of cognitions that represent "easoning and belief," as well as "action and passion."
In current parlance, impressions potentially may incorporate appearance images, categorizations, trait inferences, liking evaluations, affective reactions, relationship orientations, habitual responses, and episodic memories. Most of these constructs have been individually studied within social cognition, or within psychology more generally. However, little attention has been paid to the manner in which these diverse impression-related contents are organized, how they evolve or interact, or how they ultimately influence various interpersonal responses. One exception, Associated Systems Theory (AST; Carlston, 1992), seeks to integrate these different cognitive constructs within a single, organized structure, and suggests both the origins and consequences of impressions differing in representational form.

I was just curious. Is there a way to change how a map looks mid-game? Like you enter a town and it looks normal, but later in the game it gets set on fire (for example. I know I'd have to make custom tiles for that). On a smaller scale, is it at least possible to manipulate the weather? I've played through Emerald, and it seems possible.
Also, is it possible to create animated tiles? I know the water tiles are animated. Is there anyway to create, say tiles of a building on fire?

Peter Hansborough Bell.
Governor Bell sprung from a noble race and fought bravely
under three different flags. He was with Sam Houston at San
Jacinto under the Lone Star; he was with Taylor and wielded his
sword under the Stars and Stripes at Monterey and Buena Vista
in Mexico in 1847; and last he was a Confederate and followed the
Stars and Bars. He was inspector-general of Texas in 1839, was
captain of the Texas Rangers of Southwest Texas in 1845, was
twice elected Governor of Texas, and twice represented the West-
ern District of Texas in the United States Congress.
Peter Hansborough Bell, the son of Capt. James Madison Bell
and Elizabeth Hansborough Bell, was born March 11, 1810, in Cul-
peper county, Virginia, and died at his home near Littleton, N. C.,
March 16, 1898, 88 years old.'
The Bell family is Scotch-Irish. In Scotland it has produced a
number of great men. It is not often that three sons of one father
become eminent, but this is true of two branches of the Bell family
in Scotland within the last one hundred years. Sir William Bell's
three sons, born in Edinburgh, were Sir Charles Bell (1778-1842),
a world known surgeon; George Joseph Bell (1770-1843), a lawyer,
jurist, and author; and John Bell (1763-1820), author and trav-
eller. And Patrick Bell, of the West Scotland branch of the fam-
ily, had five sons, Andrew the surgeon, John the judge, Robert the
minister, Thomas the soldier, and Henry the author, all of whom
became noted in Scotland, England, and America.
Governor Bell is descended direct from Lord James Bell, of Bel-
haven, who lost his life fighting in the service of the Scottish
crown. A less remote ancestor was Lieutenant James Bell, who
went to Ireland in 1690 with William III and for his bravery in
battle received a grant of land near Enniskillen. There some of
his descendants still live. Four of them, however, all cousins,
1Pennybacker's New History of Texas has his name "Hansboro P. Bell,"
and says that "Governor Bell died in 1892."

Southern Gardening: Savannah holly survives year round
January and February are good times to see where landscapes need evergreen color to break out of the drab grays and browns of winter. When you find a spot that needs a pick-me-up, Savannah holly is a superb evergreen plant to grow in our Mississippi gardens and landscapes.
It has a natural pyramidal growth habit that is loose and open. This holly is versatile in the landscape and can be used for screening or strategically placed as single specimens.
These plants are moderate-growing large shrubs or small trees. They have the potential to reach up to 35 feet tall, but this growth will take 25 or more years. However, these hollies tolerate pruning very well if you want to maintain a specific size and structure.

Abiotic Diseases Of Woody Ornamentals
Abiotic diseases are the result of the interaction, over an extended period of time, between the plant and one or more factors such as lack of space for root growth, the presence of chronic or acute levels of air or water pollutants, or the presence of extremes of moisture, heat, light, soil pH, and nutrients. Most abiotic diseases cause generalized symptoms to develop over a large portion of the tree or shrub. Wilting, yellowing, the development of smaller than normal leaves, slowing of growth, branch death, water sprout (epicormic shoot) formation, premature autumn leaf coloration, and heavier than normal seed production are some of the symptoms characteristic of abiotic diseases. Sometimes very similar symptoms develop in a location on very different species of plants. This is another indication that abiotic factors rather than living pathogens are involved in damaging plant health. Below is a brief review of abiotic diseases other than those caused by pollution.
Moisture Extremes
Plants require sufficient moisture to grow but not so much that the roots drown. Related to this is the fact that soil compaction by heavy equipment or foot traffic in the plant's root zone reduces the pore space in the soil. Moisture holding capacity and pore space for air in the soil are reduced. Also, percolation of moisture through the soil profile is disrupted so that the desirable air/moisture balance is not maintained.
Roots die from a lack of oxygen. To diagnose problems caused by moisture extremes, refer to local weather records to determine if rainfall has been lacking or excessive. Determine if the plants are being irrigated, how the water is applied and how frequently it is applied. Use a soil probe or shovel to determine if the root zone and soil profile are wet or dry. Check the drainage pattern in the vicinity. Runoff may be being directed toward the plant. Or excavation may have changed the pattern in a way that now prevents moisture that had once been available to the plant to now be directed away from the site. If a plant has been recently transplanted or if nearby excavation has greatly pruned away roots, drought symptoms can develop even if the surrounding soil is moist. There may not be enough roots present to support the above-ground portion of the plant. Drought is one of the most important abiotic stresses on plants in the landscape and nursery.
Nutrient Extremes or Imbalances and pH
Plants need nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and many other major and minor nutrients in sufficient quantities to grow but not in excess such that one or more becomes toxic to the plant. There must also be a balance among the available nutrients. When there is an imbalance among certain elements (such as calcium/magnesium) the plant selectively takes up one to the exclusion of other element, thereby causing a deficient or toxic level in the plant. Symptoms can vary by species of plant affected, the time when the deficiency or toxicity began, and other growing condition factors. The soil pH plays a very important role in determining whether a given element is tied up in the soil or is available to the plant. If the soil pH is either too high or too low, some elements will be unavailable while others may be available in toxic quantities. Positive diagnosis of nutrient problems must be based on the analysis of representative leaf and soil samples.
Heat/Light Extremes
The effects of light and heat are difficult to separate. Plants in locations with very high light intensity are exposed to high temperature conditions. Both high light intensity and high temperature can result in the breakdown of chlorophyll in the leaves.
Leaves on the sunny side of the plant or those receiving the high temperature may exhibit death of the tissue at their margins or in large areas between the veins. High light intensity and temperature can scald and kill the cambium, the growing cell layer just under the bark, of thin-barked trees, trees newly transplanted or trees freshly pruned. The wood shrinks as it dies and dries. The bark cracks open and predisposes the damaged area to attack by canker causing fungi. Eventually, a branch dieback develops. Freezing is one of the most important abiotic factors in the landscape. Uneven light absorption by tree trunks in the winter results in uneven thawing of water in the plant. If the temperature in the trunk drops rapidly, the quick freezing and expansion of the water splits the bark of the tree opening it to attack by wood rotting and canker-causing fungi. Even if bark splitting does not occur, the damage to the wood may result in branch death, delayed bud break, and lack of flowering. In extreme cases, the plant may be killed to the soil line. Late spring frosts often kill young, tender foliage and flowers. This is diagnosed by correlating local weather records to the onset of symptoms. Succulent tissue may turn brown or black after freezing. Often, a large numbers of the outer twigs are affected. However, the death of the tissue occurs over a short period and does not continue if frost is the cause. Usually, vegetative buds farther back on the twig develop.
Inhibition of Root Development
Plants need space for their roots to grow. As roots mature, their cell walls thicken and become suberized and lignified to provide structural support and probably to resist attack by insects, fungi, bacteria, nematodes, and other organisms in the soil. The young portions of the roots are responsible for most of the uptake of water and nutrients. If the tree does not produce new root tips because root growth is restricted, plant growth slows. In some cases, this is beneficial because the plant will take much longer to outgrow its location. In the interior landscape or outdoor patios for example, it is not desirable to have a plant grow rapidly because it will overwhelm its setting, require increasing amounts of water and nutrients, and need to be repotted frequently or replaced by a smaller plant. Trees that normally attain a large size may be placed under a great deal of moisture stress if their roots are restricted. This "drought" stress predisposes them to root rots, cankers, and branch diebacks. Containerized plants can be checked for root circling in the container. Similarly in plants in restricted locations such as parking lot islands, a soil probe or shovel can be used to determine where the roots are located. An examination of the weeds or lack of plant growth around a plant can indicate how much foot traffic occurs. Some weeds grow primarily where foot traffic damages its less-resistant competitors. The force needed to insert a soil probe or metal rod into the root zone soil can be compared to the force required to penetrate the soil in an area away from the root zone as an indication of soil compaction.
General Diagnosis
These are a few examples of abiotic diseases. Some requirement of the plant is not met and the result is a decline in plant health. Determining exactly which requirement is not being met demands that all the symptoms be noted and that the plant site be carefully examined. Rule out the possibility that any organisms present on the plant are the primary cause of the disease. Sending a sample to a plant disease clinic is necessary in order to obtain a positive identification of the organisms found. It is known that certain organisms ONLY cause disease when the plant is under some type of stress or when the plant has been damage first by some other factor. In general, canker-causing fungi most readily damage trees that are under drought stress. The stress must be relieved. Keep in mind that, as noted above, drought may be caused by lack of moisture or damage to roots that results in lack of uptake of available moisture. This example shows the complexity of abiotic disease diagnosis.
Because ABIOTIC diseases are the ones that occur most frequently on plants in the landscape, it is critical that landscapers, nurserymen, and grounds maintenance personnel develop the skills and experience needed to diagnose them.
