( Garrett W. Ellwood/NBAE via Getty Images)We've already ranked the best big men and ball handlers on the free-agent market this summer. To complete our three-part series, here's a look at the top wing players.Note: The following list only features those players guaranteed or likely to become free agents. Players who -- according to reports or current circumstances -- are unlikely to decline their player options (PO) or exercise their early termination options (ETO) are not listed. That excluded group includes Andrei Kirilenko (PO), Shawn Marion (ETO), Brandon Rush (PO), Ray Allen (PO), Metta World Peace (ETO), Marvin Williams (ETO) and Ben Gordon (PO).1. Andre Iguodala (Early termination option)If, as expected, Iguodala opts out of his $16.2 million contract for next season, he would easily be the top wing player available. The 29-year-old is a marvelous defender whose size and speed allow him to handle all kinds of potential mismatches, whether switched onto an opposing point guard in a pick-and-roll or picking up a big man in transition. He reads passing lanes incredibly well and has a great feel for when it's appropriate to gamble for a steal. His help is very effective for a wing player, his rotations are precise and his on-ball defense is smothering. It's difficult for any perimeter player to single-handedly overhaul a defense, but Iguodala has something resembling that potential.Offensively, though, he's spent much of his career as a facilitator while fans of his teams clamored for him to become a more conventional star. Iguodala will never be an every-play creator, nor is he likely to refashion himself as a dominant scorer. But he handles and passes the ball well, often against pressure in small, time-sensitive windows. He tends to drive into crowds but has the feel and vision to make the right plays and set up his teammates in what appears to be haphazard fashion. That's simply Iguodala's game, and he's been making those same, productive passes out of those same near-turnovers for years.Iguodala is a fantastic component for most any team, but at this point he needs to determine if free agency is his best option. He won't command $16.2 million annually on a new deal, but long-term security (or a desire to switch teams) could easily outweigh Iguodala's inclination to pocket what he's owed.2. O.J. Mayo (Player option)This might seem a bit high for Mayo -- who plans to decline his $4.2 million player option -- but the 25-year-old brings less risk and more upside than most in a free-agent class lacking in star talent. Mayo demonstrated in Dallas that he can score well in an open offense, though he still has a lot of work to do as a ball-handler in traffic. Things generally go well for Mayo when he looks to create his own offense, but timing and ball security on pick-and-rolls proved to be a consistent issue for a player Dallas was hoping could be a Jason Terry surrogate. He won't improve without more reps as a ball handler, but Mayo would be best used alongside a high-level playmaker who could initiate offense, draw attention and afford Mayo a chance to operate against the weak side of the defense.Still, the ability to create spot offense off the dribble is a valuable skill, particularly when Mayo's developmental hiccups seem to be problems of practice and approach rather than mental error. He largely makes good, reasonable plays, but tends to commit strange turnovers at unfortunate times and clams up a bit when handling against staunch pressure. These are problems that can be remedied, and such a useful a scorer is likely worth the investment of time and resources.Mayo's defense in Dallas was underwhelming. He was victimized often on back cuts and off-ball screens. His lack of awareness on that end is more discouraging, but while playing in Memphis he at least showed he could bother perimeter players without getting burned so consistently. Much of that is the difference between leaning on the Grizzlies' Marc Gasol and leaning on the Mavericks' Chris Kaman or Brandan Wright for help, though it's clear that Mayo is at best a net neutral defender at this stage of his career.3. Tyreke Evans (Restricted)He is still caught somewhere between an optimal role and his preferred one, but I hesitate to shrug off the value of a player with a knack for production and such a noticeable physical advantage. Public opinion of Evans' game may have cooled, but he's still a rare athlete with solid individual skills, albeit ones that have yet to be harnessed in a way that would make him a prized asset of a winning team.Evans, who turns 24 in September, isn't guaranteed of developing into the player his skill set suggests he's capable of becoming. But there are enough good omens in his game (the cutting, the successful but infrequent post-up work, the improved shooting percentages, etc.) for general managers around the league to at least be curious about what signing him might bring.Plus, if nothing else, believe in the disruptive capacity of Sacramento's disarray. Even if we sidestep the messy transition in ownership and the relocation saga, this is a locker room that openly admitted to having no idea what offense it was running. The Kings draft (and acquire) redundant players, and they've yet to much develop any of their most talented prospects. Perhaps the culture will change under new owner Vivek Ranadive and new coach Mike Malone. But the obstacles to progress have been glaring and many, to say nothing of the difficulties in finding the best way to use such an unusual player as Evans.J.J. Redick has become much more than just a spot-up shooter. (Gary Dineen/NBAE via Getty Images)4. J.J. RedickThere are plenty of other shooters to come on this list, but Redick is the most functional. The balance of his shooting form makes him a threat both off the catch and off the dribble, with the latter becoming an increasingly prevalent aspect of his game as he gets more comfortable in executing pick-and-rolls. That combination of operating as a floor-spacing accessory and a ball-handling complement makes him a wonderful fit for most teams looking for perimeter help; Redick is capable of rounding out a starting five or jump-starting the offense off the bench. Redick (who turns 29 this month) also does a terrific job of locking and trailing on defense and keeping his man in front of him, which helps make up for the fact that he's a bit undersized in most matchups.5. Gerald Henderson (Restricted)Aside from his gravity-defying throwdown early in the season, Henderson had a quiet year in a starting role for one of the worst teams in basketball. That's not a great way to build a résumé, but Henderson's performance has been sturdy enough to wonder what he might be capable of in a different context.The Bobcats were such a mess that it's difficult to evaluate Henderson's defensive value within the team concept. The effort was clearly there, but Charlotte's defenders were so rarely on the same page that it's hard to know if Henderson was really executing as intended. Nevertheless, the 25-year-old has shown nice defensive potential over the past few seasons, and according to Synergy Sports Technology, Henderson allowed just 0.66 points per play (and 32.3 percent shooting) in isolation situations this season. Clearly reliable enough to stay in front of most perimeter threats, Henderson should do well if empowered by the fundamentals and principles of a more consistent defense.Offensively, Henderson possesses skills but doesn't have a specialty. He has dabbled in pick-and-roll play, does well in the post and has improved as a spot-up shooter. He still needs to become a more consistent threat from beyond the arc, but he's progressively attempted more threes in every season and made a big step toward league-average marksmanship this year by shooting 33 percent. Henderson's game seems safe and malleable enough to warrant considerable interest.6. Kevin MartinMartin, 30, is a difficult player to evaluate and price because his worth hinges on his prospective team's ability to hide him defensively. His one-on-one coverage is enough of a concern that potential employers need at least two back-line defenders capable of covering for his missteps, to say nothing of what he'll surrender on the perimeter as a result of being wiped out by screens or manipulated by opponents.But beneath all that baggage is a useful and efficient scorer, though he doesn't get to the free-throw line as often as he used to. In his prime, Martin combined off-the-dribble shooting and off-ball work with an uncanny ability to create contact and draw fouls. Those days are gone. After attempting 8.2 free throws per 36 minutes just two seasons earlier, Martin averaged 4.1 attempts for the Thunder this season in a more limited role befitting a slimmer skill set. He's still a terrific perimeter shooter (particularly when playing off shot creators as dynamic as Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant), but his scoring efficiency has dipped without the benefit of those extra free-throw attempts.Martin also helps with his ability to scurry around screens and create scoring angles. When a shooter of his caliber is sprinting around the court and losing his defender in the process, opponents tend to drift away from their marks ever so slightly in a preemptive attempt to help. Sometimes that's needed and sometimes it's not, but Martin's reputation as a shooter and scorer adds value to his involvement in plays and lineups.7. Mike DunleavyDunleavy, who turns 33 in September, has established himself as one of the NBA's finest role players over the last three seasons. His name, high draft selection (No. 3 in 2002) and Duke career still tend to draw sneers, but there's immense value in a player who can shoot from all over the floor, handle the ball on occasion, defend adequately, make the extra pass consistently and compete on the glass.The fact that he's reliant on other shot creators in order to be successful is neither a unique concern among wing players nor a particularly valid one. Dunleavy can complement any manner of NBA offense without risk or hitch, and he should come at a bargain if his previous deal (two years, $7.5 million) is any indication.8. Kyle KorverWhen looking to add a perimeter shooter, why not target the best available? Korver, 32, hit 45.7 percent from three-point range this season, raising his career mark to 41.9. He doesn't need the ball in his hands to be effective because he earns the defense's complete attention with his potency as a catch-and-shoot option. That shouldn't be overlooked. While it's one thing to make three-pointers on spot-up attempts, Korver is adept at running curls on the weak side of the floor to both distract from and complement the dominant action on the strong side. He's quick enough to get open easily and picks his spots well, making him an outstanding supporting piece on offense.It's also worth noting that Korver is a far more serviceable defender than advertised. Though he won't be assigned to defend ball-dominant scorers anytime soon, he does a perfectly decent job of denying penetration and forcing opponents into tough, pull-up looks.Tony Allen (left) is an elite defender, but his offensive woes could hurt his market value. (Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)9. Tony AllenGeneral managers will have the unenviable task of determining what elite defense -- at the cost of offensive spacing and flow -- is really worth. Allen, 31, lives up to his reputation as a premier on-ball defender. But the Western Conference finals demonstrated how much of a liability he can be against smart defensive teams, who will move the player assigned to guard Allen into help and pressure all over the floor.Allen is actually a smart enough cutter to theoretically help offset some of the damage done to his team's spacing, but he is too wild a finisher to take full advantage of those opportunities. Add the fact that his perimeter shooting is regrettable by any standard (he converted 3-of-24 from three-point range for Memphis this season), and Allen's presence becomes rather untenable over long stretches. There's a reason, after all, that Allen averaged only 26.7 minutes this season despite his outstanding defensive play and function as the Grizzlies' identity incarnate. He is phenomenally good at his particular trade but woefully out of place in a league that places increasing emphasis on space and understands more than ever how to exploit players like Allen to deny opponents room to operate.10. J.R. Smith (Player option)Smith can be a tremendous and explosive asset on his best days, but a place in a coach's rotation -- particularly among those who handle the ball so often -- requires a certain trust. Somehow, Smith earned Knicks coach Mike Woodson's faith and responded with one of the most responsible seasons of his nine-year career. Even those circumstances couldn't completely stop the Sixth Man Award winner from over-dribbling or gunning instinctively, but the improvements in Smith's offensive game and defensive effort made him a far more tolerable player.I wish I could say that I trust the soon-to-be 28-year-old enough to think he's capable of a repeat showing, or of displaying long-term improvement in his approach to the game. But further reflection on Smith's uncharacteristic season only makes it seem like more of an outlier, inspiring even less reason for confidence in his future performance. Some team will take a chance on Smith (who is set to decline his $2.9 million player option) for his ability to score in waves, though.11. Matt BarnesBarnes, 33, has topped $2 million in annual salary only once in 10 years, and he may be enough of a spotty shooter and loose cannon to draw a similarly modest deal this time. But he's earned a raise from his current $1.2 million salary with his play for the Clippers this season, despite the characteristic inconsistency in his production. Barnes contributes all over the court even when the ball isn't swinging his way, including solid rebounding and good, meddlesome defense. He uses his length well to challenge shooters and corral ball handlers, and Barnes has proved to be a helpful contributor in several different kinds of defensive systems.Barnes shot a below-average 34.2 percent from three-point range this season, but he makes up for the come-and-go nature of his jump shot with clever cuts through the weak side and down the baseline. He receives little credit for those plays, but smart decisions and good effort allow him to exploit defensive inattention on a consistent basis.12. Dorell WrightThough he lacks the off-the-dribble game necessary to make full use of his athleticism, Wright brings some interesting depth to the archetypal skill set of the spot-up shooter. He has hoisted threes in volume for three straight seasons, finishing a few clicks above league-average accuracy each time (37.4 percent in 2012-13 for Philadelphia). But the 6-9 Wright's size and athleticism also make him a pretty strong positional rebounder, particularly in comparison to the slighter players who typically specialize in perimeter play.Wright is not a standout defender by any means, but his build and strength allow him to swing between all kinds of defensive matchups and hold his own in most. He may not finish as well as he should and doesn't have much of an intermediate game, but Wright combines three-point accuracy with a greater potential to contribute on defense and in the game's margins than most sharpshooter types.Martell Webster (right) revived his career with a strong year in Washington. (D. Clarke Evans/NBAE via Getty Images)13. Martell WebsterWebster -- still only 26 after coming to the NBA from high school in 2005 -- emerged as an unexpectedly valuable role player for the Wizards this season after struggling with injuries in three of the previous four years. At the beginning of the season, Webster seemed to be an uninspired choice to round out Washington's roster -- an uneven shooter poised to steal minutes from players such as No. 3 pick Bradley Beal. But as Webster settled in with a team missing its primary playmaker and various other rotation players, his value became obvious.Webster proved to be a level-headed player in a strange situation, an effort defender on a team that valued such things and an unexpectedly potent marksman from the corners. According to Vorped, Webster shot an NBA-best 57 percent on three-pointers from the right corner and was among the league leaders from the left corner at 44 percent. Even that caliber of floor spacing wasn't enough to open things up for Washington's offense, but Webster made his value known and did so at an opportune time in his career.Webster signed a one-year, $1.75 million contract last summer amid concern about his back after two surgeries. But after playing 76 games this season and distinguishing himself as a solid two-way player, he should earn a longer, more lucrative contract.14. Corey BrewerOn the right team, Brewer stands to be significantly more valuable than his ranking here would suggest. He's an inexhaustible leak-out option for teams seeking to push the pace and a natural cutter in a half-court setting. But the unfortunate quirks of Brewer's game tend to grow more obvious in any situation that requires the utmost precision -- perhaps most notably in the Nuggets' first-round loss to the Warriors.Energy alone can help Brewer, 27, wreak havoc and create space, but much of what he does on both ends is exploitable. He's a long, active defender, but one so slight and so fidgety in coverage that he can be targeted with hard screens. Plus, as useful as Brewer is as a dive cutter, he's so far below average as a shooter that opponents don't even feign interest in guarding him beyond the arc.Though Brewer struggled in the playoffs, Denver seemed to be a perfect stylistic fit for his explosiveness in transition. He's allowed to attack in the open court with the Nuggets, primarily because his teammates look for him on quick outlet passes. That won't necessarily be the case if he signs with a team that takes a more deliberate approach, in which case his spirited play wouldn't achieve the same ends.15. Francisco Garcia (Team option)Garcia, 31, is both an eight-year veteran and a relative unknown, thanks to years of toiling on several bad-to-lukewarm Sacramento teams. That will soon be remedied if he lands with a winning franchise. Houston -- which acquired Garcia as part of the deal for Thomas Robinson in February -- seemed to be a perfect fit, but the Rockets' pursuit of Dwight Howard will likely require declining Garcia's $6.4 million team option.If the Rockets cut him loose, Garcia will draw interest elsewhere for his perimeter shooting and scrappy defense. Garcia is by no means elite in either regard, but an ability to cover either wing position somewhat reliably, combined with a hot postseason run (in which he shot 45.9 percent from three-point range), makes him an enticing, cost-effective option for a team chasing wing depth.16. Randy FoyeThe fact that Foye's height puts him between positions has led to his mislabeling as a "combo guard," but consistent failures in the pick-and-roll should make it rather clear that he should be initiating the offense as little as possible. If allowed to merely space the floor, Foye tends to do well. Foye, who turns 30 in September, converted 41.1 percent of his spot-up three-pointers this season with Utah, according to Synergy Sports Technology, and fared nearly as well (37.9 percent) when making the catch off a screen. He may not be dynamic enough to run a second-unit offense, but Foye can succeed in an off-ball role.Marco Belinelli (left) averaged 9.6 points off the bench for the Bulls this season. (Issac Baldizon/NBAE via Getty Images)17. Marco BelinelliBelinelli, 27, was stretched to his limits in Chicago this season, but he could be even more helpful in a less demanding role. The key is moderation. Though Belinelli can handle the ball, he's best when attacking selectively from the weak side or working over the defense with his cutting and curling. Even without the benefit of designed plays or planned screens, Belinelli has a knack for getting open. He has proved to be uncommonly good at converting tough, off-balance shots. That's not a bad combination of skills for a fairly affordable role player, especially given that Belinelli isn't a complete pushover defensively.18. Al-Farouq AminuThe Pelicans were apparently so underwhelmed with Aminu's second NBA season, in 2011-12, that they declined last October to pick up their fourth-year option on his rookie deal. As curious as it might've been for the Pelicans to give up on a 22-year-old former No. 8 pick so quickly after acquiring him in the Chris Paul trade in December 2011, he was a non-factor offensively and noticeably raw on defense. He made the mistakes that all young players make, but without the silver lining that might justify further investment in his growth.But as tends to happen with developing players, Aminu's situation -- and production -- changed this season. His minimal offensive game was streamlined to feature less off-the-dribble work and fewer long jumpers. As a result of the better shot selection, he improved his field-goal percentage from 41.1 to 47.5. Aminu also got better as a cutter as he refined his sense of timing with more experience.By embracing what he did relatively well and shying away from what he did poorly, Aminu edged closer to the role-player set that should define his career. He also progressed just enough defensively to show potential as a long-armed irritant, whereas last season he was a walking disadvantage. On top of all that, Aminu transformed into one of the best rebounding wings in the league. He grabbed 16.9 percent of available rebounds while on the floor this season, outranking a majority of NBA power forwards and centers, including David Lee, Roy Hibbert, Al Jefferson and Al Horford.Even without taking a great leap forward, Aminu found ways to make himself valuable and his minutes worthwhile -- a development that should help him score a decent new deal.19. Anthony MorrowMorrow, who has already played with four teams since joining the NBA as an undrafted free agent in 2008, possesses one bankable skill: shooting. At his best, he led the NBA in three-point shooting (46.7 percent) with the run-and-gun Warriors in 2008-09; at his worst, he made 37.1 percent from deep for the dysfunctional Nets in 2011-12. His catch-and-shoot potential as largely a spot-up type is exemplary, but the soon-to-be 28-year-old doesn't offer much else.20. Chase BudingerBudinger, 25, missed more than four months this season because of knee surgery, one of several Minnesota players to sustain a major injury. He is a notable athlete even by NBA standards, but Budinger has only managed to use his quickness and bounce so far to establish himself as a functional cutter. He complements that aspect of his game with some respectable work as a spot-up shooter, which in turn allows him to pump fake, put the ball on the floor and attack the rim on occasion. Therein lies the majority of Budinger's half-court appeal, though his leaping ability will always suggest a greater value hidden beneath a merely serviceable game.Defensive effort and discipline are also concerns with Budinger, who doesn't often trail his mark closely enough or fight through off-ball screens. He's quick enough to keep up in those situations but tends to concede on contact or attempt to draw a foul on the screener while surrendering an open shot. When defending the ball, he would seem similarly capable of cutting off opponent's dribble or challenging shots, but Budinger's positioning is often sloppy and he's a bit too easy to shed with a ball fake. Still, Budinger -- who made $885,120 this season as a former second-round pick -- is significantly better than many of the players who filled minutes for Minnesota on the wing. And he's better (and cheaper) than many of the fringe rotation types coming off the bench around the league. More Point Forward

About Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings:
Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings formed out of the ashes of Desco Records, a fiercely independent label that developed an international underground following for releasing hard funk vinyl in the nineties. After the label's demise in 1999, the family of musicians that populated it's roster regrouped to form an all-star band that would become the core of the Daptone Records stable. It was obvious that the new label's first release would be the debut full length of the fiery Sharon Jones. 2002's Dap Dippin' with Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings would prove to be the birth of a juggernaut.

Realizing one does not need conversation to fuck, Missy undulates over sports merchandising salesman Tom Byron's trouser snake; Nici Sterling slurps Mickey's meat; Melissa Hill and April share a backroom labia licking, teasing Jon Dough before he's allowed in on the action. Sterling's promisted rotating d.p. is the icing on the cake, whith crystal-clear IPS compliments of Byron and Oscar.
Overall sound quality was poor, however, bringing down the rating one-half point.

Politics Phyllis Schlafly, Then and Now
posted by March 28 at 14:05 PMon
Yes, Phyllis Schlafly still exists, and she's still got it in for the ERA.*
"What I am defending is the real rights of women. A woman should have the right to be in the home as a wife and mother.
ERA means abortion funding, means homosexual privileges, means whatever else.
"The fact is that women already enjoy every constitutional right that men enjoy and have enjoyed equal employment opportunity since 1964."
"ERA would take away women's traditional exemption from military conscription and also from military combat duty."
"ERA would put 'gay rights' into the U.S. Constitution because the word in the amendment is 'sex,' not 'women.' Eminent authorities have stated that ERA would legalize the granting of marriage licenses to same-sex couples and generally implement the gay and lesbian agenda."
"Most husbands do support their wives because of love, but the high divorce rate proves that many husbands do not love their wives. Love may go out the window but the obligation remains, just as the children remain. ERA would remove that obligation."
"The social security system rests on the concept of the dependent wife. I get my social security based on my husbands income over the years, and I am sure that is true of many women here today."
"ERA would lock abortion into the U.S. Constitution so that reversing Roe v. Wade would make no difference."
"You didn't hear a single benefit that women will get out of the ERA."
"What it will do is make all of our laws sex neutral. … The ERA would treat women exactly the same as men, and women do not want to be treated the same as men in the military or in combat. The constitution is already sex neutral."
"[The ERA says] if you deny a marriage license to a man and a man you have discriminated on account of sex."
"Feminists made divorce a major component of women's liberation."
Bonus! Here are some opinions Schlafly now says were "too controversial" for her to express during the ERA's first go-round:
"It would wipe the out laws of the constitution. It would wipe out laws against bigamy. It would reduce the age of consent to 12. It would eliminate Mother's Day."
NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Those hairy feminazis won't take away my mom's special day unless they pry it from my cold, dead hands!
*Full text: Section 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
Section 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.

I am trying to add a background layer that will go behind all of my content on all of my pages in my WordPress site. I want it to be one of those semi-transparent backgrounds and I have an example.
On this site they have that transparent grey background behind all their content that still allows the main "river" background to show. I want to attain that same type of semi background onto this site
so that once I get my sliders and all that on the pages, there is a contrast between the white background.
I am a beginner to web design and wordpress so anything will help. Remember I would like to apply it to all of the pages and posts on the site. Thank you so much.
My name is Chris.

El Dia de Los Muertos
November 1st is El Dia de los Muertos — the Day of the Dead. Its origins can be traced to pre-colonial Mexico, when it was believed that the souls of dead loved ones returned to their families once a year so that their lives could be celebrated. Today, families mark the day by creating altars; some visit cemeteries to talk to their dearly departed. If you could talk to one person who has passed on...who would it be? A family member? A historic figure? And of course tell us why.

Earlier this month, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) delivered another blow to investors' favorite sin stocks: tobacco companies. As part of its anti-smoking campaign, the US FDA is going to start requiring tobacco companies to list the harmful ingredients in their products.
"The FDA wants the tobacco makers to report the quantity of 93 chemicals in their products. These include formaldehyde, nicotine, arsenic, cadmium, ammonia and carbon monoxide. Tobacco companies will also have to enlist quantities of 20 different ingredients that can cause cancer, lung disease and other health," reports Zacks. "The list of harmful products won't be available on the packages of the tobacco products. The FDA has decided that it will compile information for each product and make them available to the public by April 2013."
And, that is only the latest FDA requirement.
In June 2011, the FDA ruled that tobacco companies in the US had to include that all cigarette labels include a warning that covers the top 50% of a cigarette pack's front and back panels. The warning is to be a full-color "graphic design of a dead body, cancerous lungs and rotten teeth." The requirement was to start last October. While many in the States balked at the idea of the graphic warnings, Canada instituted a similar law in 2000. The country's smoking rate fell from 26% to 20%.
Obviously, these new FDA requirements are going to hurt cigarette sales - after all, that is their design. Further, implementing these changes will increase the cost of goods sold for many cigarette companies. In addition to design costs, the companies will have to pay more for ink. Many cigarette packs have just three flat colors, as in no color shading. Adding the full-color designs will mean adjusting their printing processes and increased ink costs.
Now, consider for a moment that the main reasons investors put their money in cigarette companies is because revenue is very consistent - people still buy cigarettes when the market is down and it's not like a pack-a-day smoker doubles his intake when money is good (at least not usually) - and dividends are high. If the FDA's anti-smoking campaign works as well as Canada's did, what will that mean for US cigarette companies?
In a word - diversification. They will need to diversify operations or face eventual extinction. As it stands, the US tobacco companies have already had to cut back. In October 2011, Altria (MO), the company behind market leader Marlboro, announced that it will have to cut its salaried work force by 15% as a result of declining cigarette sales across the country. Reynolds American (RAI), the company behind he Camel, Kool and American Spirit brands, is in roughly the same boat. According to a press release (pdf) dated March 14, the company will be cutting 10% of its workforce by the end of 2015.
In spite of cutting its workforce by a greater percentage than its rival Reynolds American, Altria is positioned much better. While the company only operates in the US - meaning that it does not have the advantage of geographic diversification and is entirely at the "mercy" (so to speak) of the FDA - it has something that rival Reynolds American does not - diversified operations.
Sure, Reynolds American has some diversification - it sells a smoking cessation product called Niconovum AB (the product is sold in Sweden under the name Zonnic) - but, Altria has something much better - wine. Specifically, Altria produces and sells the Chateau Ste. Michelle and Columbia Crest names, as well as distributes Antinori wines, Villa Maria Estate wines and Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte. The company also has an impressive portfolio of leveraged and direct finance leases in rail and surface transport, aircraft, electric power, real estate, and manufacturing.
Thanks to this difference, Altria returned 9.55% in the first quarter 2012, versus Reynolds American's 1.87%. Altria is also in a better position than Reynolds American when you look at the "tale of the tape". The two companies are priced similarly with regard to their future earnings - Altria has a forward P/E ratio of 13.15 while Reynolds American has a forward P/E ratio of 12.97. The pair also offer a similar dividend yield - At its current trade price of $31 a share, Altria's dividend yield is 5.20%, while Reynolds American recently traded at $41.50 a share, making its dividend yield 5.30%. But, the likeness virtually ends there.
Altria enjoys revenue growth of 5.0%, compared to its peers average of 1.0%. Reynolds American's revenue increased by just 0.1%. Altria also boasts a higher return on equity (75.89% compared to Reynolds American's 22.04%), a greater return on assets (11.05% vs Reynolds American's 9.78%), a better operating margin (39.55% vs Reynolds American's 30.52%), a higher profit margin (20.40% vs Reynolds American's 9.78%), a better current ratio (1.40 vs Reynolds American's 1.01) and a greater 5-year earnings growth estimate (8% per annum vs Reynolds American's 6%).
Rival Lorillard (LO), the company that makes Newport and Kent cigarettes, has greater earnings growth expectations (11.43% per annum over the next five years), a higher current ratio (1.73), greater revenue growth (10.20%), a better profit margin (25.07%), a higher operating margin (45.64%) and a better return on assets (40.29%). But, the company pays a lower dividend - 4.50% yield at its recent trade price of $136.50 - and it is priced higher with a forward P/E ratio of 13.82. Besides that, the company has the underdog brands, with just 14% of the market - a steadily decreasing market at that. Granted, Lorillard has been able to grow its market share and it has been on a rally lately, returning almost 16% in the first quarter 2012, but I am just not convinced that there is much to be made off a non-diversified company that makes a non-dominant brand in a shrinking market.
Despite long term threats from the FDA and other regulatory bodies, for my money, I recommend Altria. The company has great numbers and a strong portfolio. Combine that with a solid earnings growth estimate, high dividends and low pricing, and what's not to love?
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

China Moves to Forefront in IPOs as Other Countries Trail
( See Corrections & Amplifications item below.)
China is positioned to become the king of the IPO market.
The flow of initial public offerings of stock has recovered faster in China in the third quarter than anywhere else in the world.
The Journal Report
- See the complete Quarterly Markets Review report.
Deal Journal
China accounted for 38% of the total number of global IPOs in the three-month period and 25% of the number so far this year, including A-shares limited to domestic investors and a few international institutions, and B-shares open to all international investors, according to data tracker Dealogic. If the pace continues, China will end up topping every other country, and even entire regions such as Europe and North America, for all of 2009.
China's dominance isn't surprising given the size of the market and the Chinese government's desire to privatize more companies, said Thomas B. Fox Jr., head of global capital markets for the Americas at UBS AG.
"So many areas are still government-held -- natural resources, telecommunications, banks, transportation -- it's hard to imagine a country having an economy the size of China's with virtually none of the companies being public," he said.
World-wide, 153 IPOs raised $34.66 billion in the three months ended Sept. 30, compared with 158 that raised $9.66 billion in the same period of 2008, according to Dealogic. While traditional new-issuance powerhouses such as Europe and North America showed signs of life in the quarter compared with earlier this year, China had more deals than the two former leaders combined. The amount raised by Chinese-based firms accounted for 68% of the global total.
As other countries were reeling from global economic turmoil, China's economy continued to show growth, albeit at a slower pace than before. There also was a strong pipeline of private companies set to go public in China when markets were ready in the quarter, while new filings in the U.S. had ground to a halt amid the financial crisis, and the backlog of deals dried up.
"People want exposure to the consumer economy in Asia," said Jim Rossman, head of U.S. equity capital markets at Macquarie Capital. "The region is not really distracted by questions of whether they need to reform their financial systems or reform health care. The financial crisis was never as severe, and it's not as constant a topic of conversation as it is in the West."
The Shanghai and Hong Kong stock markets were the main beneficiaries of China's IPO strength. Of the 58 Chinese stock offerings that raised $23.59 billion in the third quarter -- up from the 29 that raised $2.8 billion in the third quarter of 2008 -- only one, Shanda Games Ltd., ended up listing in the U.S.
China isn't the sole IPO success story in Asia. Although India is unlikely to top its 2008 IPO output for the full year, it made gains in the third quarter, bringing eight new companies to market for a total raise of $2.57 billion, up from the six that raised $127 million a year earlier.
"The Asia-Pacific region has already hit its stride, with some very sizable IPOs already on the road marketing. In North America, we're most focused on the forward calendar, and are entering a more-active period of marketing and pricing," said Phil Drury, head of U.S. equities syndicate at Citigroup Inc.
China's strength in the IPO market during the quarter highlighted how slowly other areas of the world are recovering. In Europe, 19 IPOs raised $189 million, down from 30 that raised $584 million a year ago, according to Dealogic. In the U.S., 10 companies raised $3.88 billion during the quarter -- including A123 Systems Inc., which popped 50% in its debut -- compared with five that raised $935 million a year ago. Brazil saw one deal raise $320 million, compared with none last year.
Russia's plate stayed empty, as it has for a full year. Bankers said that area of the world is likely to be among the last to revive.
While U.S.-listed activity was nowhere near the levels seen before 2008, when there sometimes were more than 50 deals in a quarter, it was better than earlier this year, when just one company went public in the first quarter and 10 in the second.
"Some issuers wanted to wait, to see other companies go first and test the market," said Richard Kimball, co-head of health-care investment banking at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. "We expect current IPO activity will encourage a significant number of issuers to come to market over the next few months."
Indeed, new filings began to line up again starting in August, with 23 companies since then registering plans to go public with the Securities and Exchange Commission .
"I don't think it's bold anymore to say that the third quarter was the inflection point this year for [U.S.] IPOs," said Lisa Carnoy, global head of equity capital markets for Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
It will take some time for the backlog in the U.S. to come into the market, because the SEC's approval process typically takes three to four months. Most bankers estimate about 20 more IPOs on the Nasdaq Stock Market and New York Stock Exchange by the end of the year.
"We expect the fourth quarter to be more active than the third quarter, but on a historical basis we wouldn't expect it to be a standout quarter," said David DiPietro, president of boutique investment bank Signal Hill.
There will be a more significant flow next year, as the companies registering now start to launch. "There will be a deluge of IPO product in the spring of 2010," said William B. Buchanan Jr., chief executive of Lazard Capital Markets.

Corrections & Amplifications:
In Europe, 19 initial public offerings raised $189 million in the third quarter, down from 30 that raised $584 million a year ago. This article misstated the value of the IPOs in this year's quarter as $189 billion.

What a wonderful way to prepare tomatos and onions. The Red onion and Jalepeno mixed with lemon really create a lovely flavour and zing to the tomatoes. If you like salsa - give this a try. Although the taste is somewhat different, I have a feeling, salsa lovers will enjoy this just as much.
I liked this dish. For visual appeal, I used an heirloom purple tomato, a yellow tomato, and a regular red.
a little overpowering..the original tomato salad involves the use of chickpeas...
Very tasty, and great as a precursor to Ethiopian lamb stew!
This is a really nice tangy salad, great with grilled spicy meats! No flavour is overpowering, it all just blends nicely together! Thanks for posting such a quick, simple but very tasty salad!

Congratulations to the Walt Disney Animation Studios and the great team behind this year's Golden Globes winner for best animated film - #Frozen.
Here's a little 4 step 'work in progress' version of my earliest Elsa drawing.
Here's a little 4 step 'work in progress' version of my earliest Elsa drawing.
its sooo beautiful!!
*i like it better with the black lines.. not the white ones.. still beautiful =]*
*i like it better with the black lines.. not the white ones.. still beautiful =]*
But....but...but...drawing you? (p.s wow)
Beautiful! I particularly admire the casual elegance of her arm in the foreground, and your thoughtful detail down to her hand while letting other details fade into background. I also love the darkest colours making her face the emphasis, without competing with the overall delicacy of the piece. Her hair is gorgeously textured!
My fave one is the third one! pretty job
My favorite step is the third one with the black lines.
Elsa is my favorite! I think the film should have been about her. I honestly thought they were going to pair her with Kristoff for a minute, but they had to pull a bait and switch on us.
would have been a cool twist
Well, when Kristoff said he was going to cry from seeing Elsa's ice castle, then said ice was his life, I was like: Okay, the loner princess with ice power is going to hook up with the loner ice cutter! Then Anna will get Hans and all will be right with the world! Buuuuuut, no!
My thoughts exactly. Why couldn't they pick another time to precaution folks against "falling in love" too quickly? *sigh*
I can not stop looking at this ! Everyday !
She is so beautiful
I adore your work. If you ever bring out an Art Book, I would like to buy one
I absolutely adore this piece!! It was the inspiration for my own version of Queen Elsa! Just perfect!!!
gah! how do you change the color of the lines in the last step~ I just can't fifure it out xD
really cool!
I just saw the film, I LOVE Elsa!!!! her powers are so great and she is indeed so beautiful
You draw it in better way than original.
nice seeing how it develops with the background and linework. thanks!
Your work is so pretty.
Nice 4-way Progression Chart there, Dave.
wow so pretty
It's simply wonderful!
Your art is FANTASTIC! Keep it up!

ATLANTA (AP) - The Senate has approved legislation that would let the owners or members of a church decide whether they want to allow weapons on their campus or in their place of worship.
The measure passed by a vote of 41-11. Republican Sen. Jeff Mullis of Chickamauga says the bill treats churches like any other private property and offers smaller churches a way to protect themselves.
The proposal passed with four amendments, including two which would allow gun owners with permits to have a concealed weapon in authorized county or municipal government buildings. That would include elected officials.
Republican Sen. Frank Ginn of Danielsville says elected officials "are now confronted daily with violence" and have a right to defend themselves.

Released: Feb 01st, 2004
Running Time: 80
Company: Filmco
Cast: Anika, Jay Ashley, Andrew Rivera, Summer Luv, Lexi Matthews, Johnny Thrust (I), Rafe, Francessca Sins
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
A no-brainer for fans of gals with little titties.
Fans of minimal mammaries will be most appreciative of these gals with less than a mouthful. The four young babes do indeed perform a fine job blowing and getting their males off, and they equally fit the bill and description expounded in the title. For the record, Lexy Matthews is utterly (note: not udderly) adorable and her tiny nips and sweet smile make an awesome combination.
The DVD acts a bit sloppy in chapter execution and toward the end the sound sync was off.

Coming soon: Blackwater Pro Shops with indoor firing ranges.
Since its contractors infamously shot and killed 17 Iraqi civilians, Blackwater has rebranded itself, trying to insist that it's a reformed company. It even changed its name to "Xe" last year. But at this year's NRA convention, ThinkProgress discovered that the corporation was still marketing the Blackwater brand on merchandise like baseball hats, shot glasses, beach towels, and guns, which could be bought online. Now, the site Soldier Systems reports that Blackwater enthusiasts will be able to buy their goods in persons, at two new stores opening in Fayetteville, NC and Salem, CT:
The facade of the new store in Fayetteville is very reminiscent of the original Blackwater Lodge in Moyock. Not only is the name in huge letters across the front of the building, you will also be able to purchase clothing and equipment emblazoned with the logo. If that doesn't get your blood pumping you can also try out your new firearms at their indoor range.
Blackwater founder and owner Erik Prince announced yesterday that he is selling his company, in large part because of the "constant criticism of Xe services." ThinkProgress contacted Blackwater Pro Shop for comment, but we did not receive a response. (HT: Mother Jones and Danger Room)

"Newmarket" Newmarket by hello3001
Newmarket Travel Guide: 5 reviews and 23 photos
Newmarket is a town that lives for horse racing. The sport became very popular in the 17th century thanks to the kings that loved this sport. Newmarket is a home to the Horseracing museum, National Stud and Tattersalls.
Horses are part of everyday life in Newmarket. Very often you will see how everything stops because for example the horses are crossing the road, or the traffic slows down because horses are passing by. Those absolutely beautiful creatures are training with their coaches every morning in different areas in the town.
Newmarket has two flat racing racecourses; the July racecourse and the Rowley Mile racecourse.
In greek mythology Hyperion is a Titan, the son of Gaea and Uranus and the father of Helios, in astronomy Hyperion is one of the moons of Saturn.
In Newmarket Hyperion is the name of a very famous horse that in 1933 won the race Epsom Derby, known also as The Derby, one of the most famous horse races. This monument you can see in the High Street, in front of the Jockey Club building.
