While visiting family in tennesee from Connecticut I decided to plant my first out of state box. I was teaching my cousin about letterboxing so the trek is short and more of a drive by than anything else. This box is very special to me. I hope you all enjoy. Directions to the trail head are borrowed from DS.
Access this history highway from Tenn Highway 100, west of Nashville. When you access this history highway here, you are at mile marker 444. Go about 13 miles to Old Trace, at mile post 426.3. The U.S. Army cleared this section of the "Natchez Road" in 1801-02 and continued clearing southward with the consent of the Chickasaw Nation.
Find the trail head. Here you have the choice to go left or right. Follow the trail going off to the left. Shortly after begining down this trail you will see several uprooted trees on your right side. On the right side of the roots of the first uprooted is where you will find my missing piece. Please rehide and cover well.

i am building a wordpress blog which is actually a wordlist - like a dictionary. I would like to enable other WordPress blogs to use my content through a plugin.
In short:
I provide content on my weblog (each wordpress post is a single word).
Others install a plugin which links keywords in their content to the corresponding words (=posts) on my website.
Does anybody know of such a plugin? I seem to find only plugins which do the opposite (Provide my website with links to other sites).

I just don't understand how Feed to Post works. From what I understand, feed to post replaces Excerpts & Thumbnails because their functionalities would be redundant, yet I cannot figure out how to do a shortcode for a feed that would include thumbnails and full text.
As I read on your website, "WP RSS Aggregator is the most user-friendly and complete WordPress RSS aggregator plugin." I can't help but disagree after purchasing Feed To Post. In fact, it seems I've lost a lot of functionality. As mentioned above, I now have no images in my feed because the shortcode for excerpts & thumbnails does not work for Feed to Post, and there is no documented shortcode arguments for the extension at all.
There is no widget support that I can speak of, and there is no documentation for Feed to Post. So where should I actually begin? Any help would be great.

I knew Bob Bordone. He once came to a morning meeting I attended until he went to jail for a DUI. So that much I know for a fact is TRUE. Obvously the person who responded is either HIM or a family member.
I worked with one of his son's who i know smoked weed and he did tell someone at work his dad smoked also. So that may be TRUE as well.
On one occasion I heard Bob Bordone call his wife a fat a** and an african american man a N****R and said his dog hated N*****S also... So I know the response again is either BOB BORDONE or a family member.
Also, regarding BOB BORDONE falsyfing work experience: here is what I DO KNOW! BOB BOEDONE bragged that he worked on NASCAR car's as a mechanic and was a professional electrician but he could NOT install a simple radio in a friends honda. The radio blew because it WAS NOT wired right. So, i doubt he could handle any complicated electrical work.
I hate liars and whoever you are trying to cover up for BOB BORDONE you are not doing him any great service. His addiction is because he can not be HONEST with himself. If he was HONEST with himself he would easily see that these claims are on the money.
I do hope BOB BORDONE is managing and in control of his sobriety and temper.
Last time I heard BOB BORDONE still jacks himself up in the morning on coffee and pills until late afternoon. No one can smoke, drinnk coffee and not eat unless they are on something and I have seen him take pills in the morning.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

CDC MarketFirst
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
CDC MarketFirst is a marketing automation and lead management software product offered by CDC Software, an enterprise software and service company headquartered in Atlanta, GA. The CDC MarketFirst suite gives companies the ability to segment their databases and profile contacts, then program and launch electronic marketing campaigns to communicate with target audiences. Content within these communications (which can be delivered e-mail, SMS, fax, etc.) can be highly personalized based on available database information to improve the relevance to the recipient in an effort to increase response rates to the marketing campaign. CDC MarketFirst also enables users to capture leads from these marketing campaigns by tracking click-throughs and directing message recipients to registration pages that generate leads. The system can also be used to manage event registrations, nurture leads, and develop event-triggered campaigns.[1] Its advanced visual campaign design tools allow for the development of complex automated campaigns—for example, to send one kind of automated follow-up message based on the recipient's response to a prior campaign.
Founded in 1997 in Mountain View, California,[2] MarketFirst Software was acquired by Pivotal Corporation in 2002,[3] itself later acquired by CDC Software (then called chinadotcom).[4] MarketFirst Software's core product was MarketFirst, a marketing automation and lead management tool that complemented the rest of the Pivotal CRM (customer relationship management) suite.[5]
CDC MarketFirst, as the marketing automation and lead management product suite is now known, is marketing automation and lead management software system. The product's capabilities include:[6]
- Segmentation and profiling
- E-mail streams
- Lead generation
- Event marketing
- Literature fulfillment
- Lead scoring and nurturing
- Surveying
- Map analytics [7]
CDC MarketFirst claims to be distinguished by its ability to support multi-channel, multi-lingual, multi-wave campaigns that can be run perpetually and are adaptive to recipient behavior.[8][9]
A 2007 analysis by Forrester Research of the CDC MarketFirst implementation at Sharp Electronics determined that the company was able to increase the number of qualified leads tenfold, reduce cost per lead by 85%, and cut advertising costs by 28% using CDC MarketFirst.[10] CDC Software reported that Sharp had saved more than $1.6 million in operating costs through its use of CDC MarketFirst.[11]
Customers include companies such as Harvey Nichols, the UK-based luxury retailer;[12] Softrax Corporation, a provider of enterprise billing and revenue management solutions;[13] online job website Careerbuilder; and luxury home builder Toll Brothers, among others.[14]

Update to Upgrade 2.0
Thanks to Jan Andrejkovic for pointing out a tool I missed in my column "Upgrade 2.0" [5]. Fedora ships with a program called Presto [6] that uses DeltaRPMs to provide smaller updates. In my first test, a normal update would have required 972MB of downloads, but with Presto, it was a mere 224MB (pretty impressive savings). Fedora 11 now includes a yum-presto package (not to be confused with the presto package that is a graphics-related engine) that is a plugin for the yum program. Installation is simple:
yum install yum-presto
First, manually update your /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo to include either a baseurl or mirrorurl pointing to a site that carries the presto RPMs (they are signed with the GnuPG key of Jonathan Dieter, so you need to trust him). Alternatively, you can run your own repository and create RPMs with the presto-utils. If you have more than one system, this might be your best bet.

The best primer
By Audrey
from Hamilton, Ont
This is my second purchase of this primer. It goes on your skin like silk and your makeup stays all day. I would certainly recommend this product.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By Pretty in Pink
from Richmond Hill Ontario
I Just received the primer which I had been waiting for in anticipation and when I went to open it, the entire bottle had leaked all over the envelope & there was nothing left. Where is quality control on this one? It appears to be a very oily product & trying other primers out there, I would have returned this anyways. A word of importance on returns; apparently TSC does not refund any empty containers, so it is a good thing that I called this one in to notify them of the problem, they have promised me a full refund.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great Serum!
By Paramedicgirl
from Cranbrook
This is a really nice serum. It smells great and feels like silk on the face. I love that it has essential oils in the product. Don't bother with the brush, though. It's really not very useful. Just apply the serum with your fingertips, then apply your foundation. You will get a silky, smooth look.

Delivers as a Primer - blocks pores
By K.
from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
I did find the product effective the first few times it was used. It allowed the other products to seamlessly flow on to the face. Unfortunately I started braking out the first time I used it. I use quality cleansers and moisturizers(Perricone). The only addition was the Primer Serum. I would have loved to keep using it, but the break outs would re-occur every time I tried using the product again. Maybe it's just the fact that I have sensitive skin!

Great product
By Denise
from High River, AB
Love the way this feels on my face. I use it first thing in the morning under my makeup. Feels refreshing and so soft. I'm not big on the brush but that's just my personal preference. I love IT cosmetics.

#1 overnight rejuvenation!
By Artist
from Vancouver
As a primer, this is fantastic, gives my skin a smooth, healthy finish. To me though, the best thing is when my skin is looking a bit stressed out and needs something to revive it, I put this on before bed and when I wake up I can't believe the complete improvement. It's the very best "rescue" treatment ever, and always brings my skin back to looking good again by the morning! Please Jamie, put this in a Showstopper or in a duo pack, or a super size!!! I love this product!

Holy Grail
By Shants
from Toronto
Outstanding. No other 'primer' comes closer to doing what this does. Makeup glides on and doesn't settle in fine lines. I couldn't believe how amazing my skin looked with makeup after using this.A bottle of this has lasted me almost a year, and it has just hit under the 1/2 mark

Very nice...
By Silvia
from Montreal, QC
I enjoy this product... it goes on great... doesn't feel oily... really wonderful base before applying your CC Cream.
By Les
from Mississauga
Find this product a must under the cc foundation giving a lovely smooth finish and making my skin feel very nourished
( 7 of 7 customers found this review helpful)
By JL
from Southern On area
Excellent serum and love the fan brush!This serum smells so clean and a drop goes along way. Great as a primer before foundation but it must be on for a few minutes prior to putting foundation on. Fan brush is wonderful for spreading product over face instead of using your fingers. I also have another fan brush that I use lightly over my concealer once it's on.

The material is entirely too prone to puncture. Other brands I have owned are much more durable. I had this one exactly 24 hours before it punctured, and of course no patching kit is included! I won't buy this brand again.
The ball seems to be of good quality. I can't say as much for the pump. It got the job done for the initial inflation but if there were ever a time that I needed to deflate and pump it up again, I don't know if the pump could handle it. My biggest problem with the exercise ball is that it stinks. No, really. It STINKS. The ball has a horrible rubber smell to it and it clings to everything in the house. At first I kept the ball in a corner of the living room but the smell of it overwhelmed me everytime I entered my house. Next I decided to store it in a closet but then my coats and purses adopted the horrible odor. Now the ball is kept in a seldom used guest room. Needless to say, the entire room and all of it's contents carry it's offensive aroma. The smell does not seem to be fading with use. My next option is to actually wash the ball in hope of lessening the stink.
Nice thick rubber ball. Feels like it will stand up to all the wear and tear!
The exercise ball came in a timely manner, was easy to blow up and it is nice and sturdy. The only downfall was a strong smell to it. I suppose it is a plastic smell but I put it out back for a day or so till the smell subsided and it is fine now. I'm sure it would have been just as easy to wipe the ball down with soap and water as well.
I bought this size because I'm 5'6 and the ball was recommended for people 5'6 to 6'1. However, this ball is way too small! I've taken classes using the exercise balls before and the balls were much bigger than this one. I am uncomfortable sitting on it because my knees are higher than my hip. There is nothing wrong with the ball if you're less than 5'2. But if you are taller, definately get the larger size.
Purple! My favorite color! The ball is made of a material that is quite stretchy, compared to other exercise balls (e.g. the ones at the gym). It comes with a hand pump that is easy to use, but the hose pops out before the ball is full. I used an air compressor (carefully) to fully inflate the ball. The slightly "sticky" surface (similar to a sticky mat) makes it easy to maneuver during exercises, but also attracts hair and dust. I will definitely purchase this item again, especially if/when my cat punctures this ball!
love this exercise ball. works great
This is a very good product and worth the price. It even comes with an attachement to blow it up.
- How accurate was the sizing? Accurate size
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good quality
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Free of all defects
I was looking for a stability ball and came across this instead. It can be used for most of the exercises but for others it is to small for my 5'7 height. I will have to go to the 75cm ball.
- How accurate was the sizing? 65cm, too small for a 5 foot 7 woman, knee;s are not in alignment with hip.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. so far a month later still good
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? yes
My husband and I had doubts about the exercise ball and our weight but we followed the sizing chart and it has turned out wonderful. We recieved our ball within a week and nervously tried it. The exercise ball is a great work out tool and very reliable too!
- How accurate was the sizing? Perfect
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The exercise ball is very durable. We are a very large couple and the exercise ball holds us very well. We are learning the different exercises that can be done with this product and finding it to be very flexible with each exercise.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? We did not see any defects or flaws from the manufacturer
I am very happy with this ball. Both size and strength to last a long time. It also came with exercises to do using the ball. Thank you overstock.com
- Did the product fit true to size? I was plesantly surprised with the size since I am not good with CM size
- How is the quality of the product? This is a very strong product and came with a greaat pump.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? yes
My biggest fear, based on reviews of other balls, was that the size would be right. This ball came exactly as described. Purple, 65cm. The foot pump works fine, but I ended up using a hevy duty pump to get it all the way full at the end. I don't use this to "exercise," but I use it to sit on and it seems very sturdy. I also plan to use this as a birth ball during labor.
The ball is good and sturdy, but the pump that comes with it is not very high quality. I blew up the ball for the most part with my mouth.
This ball would have had a higher rating if there hadn't been such an overwhelming plasticky/V.O.C odor when you open the box. Once inflated the ball shed the smell for at least 3 days. I made the mistake of putting it in a guest room once inflated and it hasn't totally cleared out several days later. I think future buyers should inflate the ball in their basement or garage and let it breathe.
Excellent item. This was my 1st exercise ball for the home and have never before used one at the gym. Makes for a nice quick workout.
I had an exercise ball for about 5 years that my cat finally punctured. I got this one to replace it, and think the quality may be better... I'm happy with it, and as always, the value with Overstock is hard to beat. Shipped quickly, easy to deal with.
This inexpensive yoga ball was of little value. It developed a slow leak on first inflation (and no, I did not overinflate it) and self destructed after less than two weeks use. The ball was never really spherical, it was rather egg-shaped when inflated and had very thin construction. The color was pretty though.
This ball smelled like moth balls/rubber. It was so strong that the smell invaded my whole apartment. I tried to give it a fair shot to air out, and even tried washing it off, but after two weeks of smelling like very strong moth balls I broke down and threw it down the trash chute. I sadly not recommend this ball to anyone, even though functionally it was an okay product.
Ball was so smelly that I had to leave it outside for several weeks before using.
The pump could be better. The smell is very strong when you first get it. It wears off in a couple of weeks. The ball itself is excellent.

I was told that since I opened package (didn't open product just opened box to see what was in there) that I would have to pay return shipping. So - because I ordered one 30-day intro for $39.95 . . . I was charged $275 in less than a month. Customer service was rude and did not acknowledge that it was their website's ordering process that caused the problem - they should have covered the return shipping since it was their website flaw. Not a good company - not good customer service.

Acer adds pair of new PCs to Chromebox CXI lineup
Both models include a fourth-generation Intel Core processor, with prices of $349.99 and $399.99, respectively.
John Morris and Sean Portnoy deliver straight talk about notebook and desktop computers.
Both models include a fourth-generation Intel Core processor, with prices of $349.99 and $399.99, respectively.
The long-delayed gaming PCs will finally battle consoles for living room supremacy, with a $50 Steam Controller also available.
After announcing new brand levels, the company provides more details about the first chips that will fall under each category.
The x3, x5, and x7 labels will mirror the i3, i5, and i7 designations for the company's Core CPUs, which it says will help consumers differentiate between chip capabilities more easily.
At ISSCC this week, Intel says it is business as usual, but rising costs have left the rest of the chip industry looking for something more than Moore.
Discounts on the tablet have been extended through the end of February, while trading in an old Surface can get you as much as $650 toward a new Surface Pro 3.
The company claims the notebook is the thinnest and lightest in its semi-rugged class, complete with magnesium alloy case with built-in handle.
Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang admits that PCs with integrated graphics have "largely become good enough." So why is the company doing so well?
Two new Venue tablets, one running Android 5.0 and the other Windows 8.1, and a Latitude 11 laptop look to join the updated Chromebook in the classroom.
The price cut is good through February 7, though the base configuration is the only version that retains its original price during the sale.
The notebook also gets a Thunderbolt 2 port, boosts maximum storage to 2TB, and offers an Ubuntu option.
The rugged notebook now claims battery life of up to 18 hours while retaining its durability features, including protection from drops of six feet.
The NUC5i7RYH is one of seven Next Unit of Computing systems that the company will be shipping with its fifth-generation Core CPUs.
The mobile devices include a pair of Ultrabooks and feature optional palm-based biometric security features.
The device, which features an Atom processor and runs Ubuntu, is designed to serve digital content in classrooms with poor Internet connectivity.

The party is far from over. The early-year rally that on Friday took the Dow Jones Industrial Average to within 1% of its record high, set in 2007, could have a lot further to run. For starters, stocks aren't expensive. The Standard & Poor's 500 index is valued at about 14 times estimated 2013 profits and the Dow fetches less than 13 times projected 2013 earnings. At the market peak in 2007, the Dow traded for 16 times forward earnings. Given ultralow interest rates, the market multiple has room to expand even if earnings growth remains modest.
There's a huge amount of money that could shift into stocks because individuals until recently have favored bonds over equities, based on mutual-fund flow data. "If there is a great rotation going on from bonds to stocks, we may be only in the top of the first inning," says Jason Trennert, chief investment strategist at Strategas Research Partners in New York. Trennert cites the TINA -- or "there is no alternative" -- factor, as yield-starved investors move into stocks.
Further impetus to stocks could come from endowments and pension funds that for the past decade have been shifting assets away from stocks and into alternatives, including hedge funds, private equity, real estate, and commodity-oriented investments.
That trend could reverse, because it will be tough for hedge funds and other alternatives to keep pace with a steadily rising stock market. Last year, the S&P 500 returned more than 16%, 10 percentage points better than the average hedge fund tracked by Hedge Fund Research. If big endowments and pension funds see relative returns suffer, there will be pressure for them to boost their allocation to stocks.
"Assuming we breach the old high on the S&P 500, the national conversation and media coverage could shift from a constant discussion of a 'lost decade' for stocks, to 'Are you being too conservative and missing out on the new bull market?' " says Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management in Minneapolis. A new record for the S&P, he adds, "could start to challenge the portfolio-allocation decisions" among institutional investors.
BARRON'S HAS BEEN BULLISH ON STOCKS, including a cover story a year ago ("Enter the Bull," Feb. 13, 2012) in which we wrote that the Dow could hit 15,000 by the end of this year -- a target that looks increasingly achievable. Barron's was similarly upbeat in a cover story in the fall ("Almost There," Oct. 15, 2012).
The Dow industrials finished the week at 14,009, up 6.9% so far this year. The index is 156 points away from its high of 14,165, set in October 2007. The S&P 500 index has risen 6.1% this year, to 1513, and stands 3% from its 2007 peak of 1565.
Smaller-stock indexes moved deeper into record territory last week, hitting new highs, having already bested their 2007 peaks back in 2011. The S&P MidCap 400 index is up 8% this year, while the Russell 2000 Index has gained 7.3% so far in 2013. As the table shows, mid- and small-cap stocks have outperformed their larger brethren by a wide margin during the past decade.
Federated Investors Chief Investment Officer Stephen Auth had the most bullish 2013 prediction among the 10 strategists in our outlook article for this year, with an S&P 500 target of 1660 ("An Optimistic Outlook for 2013," Dec. 17, 2012). His target -- 10% above current levels -- doesn't look so outlandish now. "You don't need a lot of earnings growth to get there, just a willingness of investors to put a multiple on equities that's remotely reasonable," he says.
Auth argues that as the risk of another financial crisis recedes, investors will put a higher price/earnings ratio on stocks. He recently cited 10 bullish factors, including easy monetary policy around the world, a housing recovery, a U.S. manufacturing revival, a domestic energy boom, and a stronger growth outlook in Brazil and China.
BEARS CITE A HOST OF FACTORS, including minimal progress in addressing structural problems in the federal budget, economic drag from tax increases at the start of 2013, near recessionary conditions in Europe, and a weakening earnings outlook.
Current-year profit estimates for the S&P 500 have been coming down, and profit growth last year in the index probably was only 5%. This year, S&P earnings are expected to rise about 6%, to $108, based on strategist estimates. The profit expectation based on "bottom-up" analyst estimates for individual companies is a more robust $112.
Paulsen argues that the stocks and profits often don't move together, noting that earnings have doubled since 2000 but the S&P 500 is unchanged. During some periods, stocks outpace profit growth, and this could be one of those periods.
Trennert, too, cites a host of market-valuation measures that support higher multiples for the S&P 500, including a proprietary model based on interest rates and inflation, the so-called Rule of 20, and the Fed Model. The Rule of 20 suggests a market P/E of 18, based on 20 less the current inflation rate, while the Fed Model, popular in the 1990s, points toward a very high P/E of 50, based on the idea that the market-earnings yield (the inverse of the P/E) should be in line with the 10-year Treasury yield, now 2%.
As the nearby table shows, the current bull market, dating back to March 2009, is one of the strongest in the past 50 years. The S&P is up 124% from its low of 676. The bull run is well shy of the extended upturn in the 1990s, which resulted in a quadrupling of the S&P 500.
IT HAS BEEN DURING THE PAST "lost decade" for stocks that the best-performing institutional investors have focused on alternative investments like hedge funds, private equity, real estate, and commodities.
Influential big investors are light on stocks, notably the Harvard, Yale, and Princeton endowments and the Ford and General Motors pension funds. Yale represents an extreme example, with just 6% of its portfolio in U.S. stocks and a 14% equity exposure over all, including foreign shares. Following Yale and Harvard, big university endowments with $1 billion or more of assets had just 27% of their assets in stocks last year, down from 45% a decade ago, while holding 61% in alternatives, according to the National Association of College and University Business Officers. That's a far cry from the old 60/40 mix of stocks and bonds favored by big institutional holders.
Yale endowment director David Swensen is one of the most successful and influential institutional investors in the country -- thanks to alternatives, which now account for more than 70% of the $19 billion endowment.
However, the alternatives-heavy investment mix of the past 10 years may not be such a great idea in the current decade if stocks continue to do well. The alternatives space is crowded, as private-equity firms sit on hundreds of billions of dollars of "dry powder," or client investment commitments, while the ultracompetitive hedge-fund industry is having a harder time generating excess returns, or "alpha," as thousands of funds scour the stock market. The high fees on both private equity and hedge funds act as another drag.
A hedge fund charging a 1.5% base fee while taking 20% of investment profits might have a net exposure to stocks of just 50%, reflecting a mixture of long and short positions. Only the best managers can overcome that impediment to beat stocks in a rising market. Warren Buffett made a bet with a fund manager a few years ago that the S&P 500 would beat a group of hedge funds, and so far he's proving correct.
Top stock pickers should find ways to beat the market. Just look at the huge disparity in returns of the 30 stocks in the Dow industrials since 2007.

It's telling that in recent years there have been few start-ups of traditional long-only equity-investment managers and not many new mutual funds outside of the biggest shops. Why start a traditional fund when operating a hedge fund can be so much more lucrative?
BONDS, WHICH HAVE OFFERED a good alternative to stocks in recent years, aren't keeping pace in 2013, as investors fear stronger economic growth, potentially higher inflation, and a curtailment of the Federal Reserve's massive bond-buying program. If weak bond returns continue, it may spur individual investors to shift more money to stocks.
The problem with bonds is that it's mathematically tough for them to produce good returns starting at current rates. And the setback in the Treasury market this year shows the impact of a relatively small rate increase. Long-term Treasuries are down 2% to 3% so far this year, erasing a year's worth of income, while broader bond indexes that include high-grade corporates are about flat.
Even famed managers are finding it difficult to maneuver now. The giant Pimco Total Return fund (PTTAX), headed by Barron's Roundtable member Bill Gross, managed to generate a 10% return last year despite super-low rates, but it's finding fewer ways to score this year and was down slightly in January.
Junk bonds, which kept pace with the S&P 500's 16% gain last year, are up just 1% this year, and sizable returns are unlikely, with the average junk issue yielding only 5.8%. The earnings yield on the S&P 500 is above the junk yield, marking a rare such occurrence. That suggests that stocks look appealing relative to junk.
Within the stock market, large-cap stocks may offer the best value. As the table shows, the P/E ratios on the S&P 400 MidCap and Russell 2000 indexes exceed those of the Dow industrials, with the MidCap index trading for 16 times projected 2013 earnings and the Russell 2000 carrying a 2013 P/E of 18.
The offset is that mid- and small-cap companies are expected to show stronger profit growth than larger ones. And betting against the MidCap index in particular has been a losing strategy, because it has consistently beaten the S&P 500, and it's now 20% above its 2007 peak. The MidCap index seems to catch companies when they are on fast-growth trajectories -- before they graduate to the S&P 500.

All four trade for about 10 times projected current-year profits, yield 2% or more, and have strong balance sheets. Their effective P/Es are lower after stripping away cash. Apple's cash and marketable securities of $145 a share are equal to almost a third of its share price of $455. Microsoft has $6 a share in net cash, or 23% of its $27 stock price, and Cisco has about $5 in net cash, or almost 25% of its share price at $20. Pressure is likely to build on these companies to return more cash to holders through dividends.
Even after the long run-up in stocks since the 2009 low, the S&P 500 is still below its 2000 high. With both individual and institutional investors light in stocks, there's plenty of money to fuel further gains at a time when P/E multiples look appealing.

Friday, October 17, 2008. (AP) -- Dallas is listing Tony Romo as questionable for Sunday after he didn't participate in the final practice before the Cowboys trip to St. Louis.
Romo broke the pinkie finger on his throwing hand late in last week's overtime loss to Arizona and originally was ruled out for up to a month. He told coaches earlier this week that despite the injury he wanted to play against the Rams.
Romo hasn't commented all week. And neither has Brad Johnson, the 40-year-old backup who will get his first NFL start since 2006 with Minnesota if Romo can't go.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in a radio interview earlier today that there was no chance Romo could reinjure the pinkie because of the cast-like protection on his hand.
Jones also said the decision if Romo will play will depend on how the quarterback feels Sunday. Coach Wade Phillips says it's possible Romo could be active for the game without starting.

"The Big Sort" refers to the fact that lifestyle choices are leading like-minded folks to live together in communities where they feel comfortable and perhaps unchallenged. That has significant ramifications for our country's political and social development. To quote the book, "The lesson for politics and culture is pretty clear. It doesn't matter if you're a frat boy, a French high school student, a petty criminal, or a federal appeals court judge. Mixed company moderates; like-minded company polarizes. Heterogeneous communities restrain group excesses; homogeneous communities march toward extremes."
The fact that Republican strategists understood this well before the Democrats is detailed in a discussion with Matthew Dowd, George Bush's pollster in the 2000 election and chief strategist for the Bush campaign in 2004. According to Bishop's account, Dowd understood that "American communities were 'becoming very homogeneous'. He believed that to a large degree, this clustering was defensive, the general reaction to a society, a country, and a world that were largely beyond an individual's control or understanding. For generations, people had used their clubs, their trust in a national government, and long-established religious denominations to make sense of the world. But those old institutions no longer provided a safe harbor.Read more ›
After reading it, I look around and see the uniformity (amid the Benetton ethnic mix and DIY style-diversity) of my own social networks in the city. All I did was exercise "free" choice about where to live. I've wound up in this cool 'hood, so cool I have to whisper that I voted for Clinton, not Obama.
Bishop and Cushing have done mighty work. They track back the origins of the mega-churches (would you believe in India and Korea?) and pull together decades of bizarre social psychology research. They prove what's happened by following the votes, the money, and the feet of Americans on the move.
Stories are good reading -- the comic book "tribe" in Portland, emergent church kids, moderates squeezed out of Congress, the textbook wars of the 1960s in particular blew my mind. Anybody who thinks Karl Rove masterminded the state we're in is going to be stunned. We're living a new segregationist era, and it goes a whole lot deeper than skin.
His argument would have made a first rate article. Unfortunately, he has turned it into a full length book by padding it with a lot of familiar and often barely relevant material from earlier academic studies and news articles.
"The Big Sort" is nonetheless a worthwhile read, even if much of it can be skipped or skimmed without losing the main thrust of its argument.
Their main supporting observation is that the % of voters in Presidential election from counties with a 20 percentage point differential (in either direction) in close elections has steadily increased over the past 30 years (from 26.8% in 1976 to 48.3% in 2004). They also rely on Alan Abramowitz work who observed the same phenomenon at the State level. In 1976, the average Presidential election margin in the States was 8.9 percentage points. In 2004, it was 14.8 percentage points. But, it is unclear if the latter just picked two points. That's because when you look at the standard deviation of the Democrat's % at the State level minus the nation's Democrat's % for each Presidential election over the same period, you get pretty much trendless results. If polarization had really increased, the standard deviation as defined over the period should have increased.
The authors also observed that since the 70s, Democratic counties share of the college educated and foreign-born citizens has risen. Meanwhile, Republicans gained shares of the Church going and white population. This demographic shift explains why Republican counties have become more polarized as they are more religious, less ethnically diverse, and less moderate in their views.Read more ›

Today, child has stopped wetting pants, limited nightmares and doing better in school. Child is still not as affectionate as she once was. I ASK CPS - what the hell do you need as evidence? Why wasn't psychologist scheduled for child? Child always tells truth in in a safe feeling atmosphere. Emotional abuse occurs in 97% of all physical abuse cases. Emotional abuse stays with you your entire life. CPS, as busy as they are, when parents are reported by grandparents, who had guardianship most of childs life call, they NEED TO LISTEN. I have had granddaughter live with me in their area since 5/2010 with dad who actually WOKE UP. Mother had first overnight visit in 2 weeks (rarely sees child) and child told grandma she work up and found a naked man in mommies bed. Child said she work up in frontroom? Just reported to CPS - and they said it was my word against mother. Mother stated this man, kinda a friend, came in middle of night, locked out of Camp Pendleton and need to sleep somewhere. Why at mothers house with a 6 year old? Why in the bedroom where child should be sleeping.........any attorneys out there who would represent grandma and child in North County San Diego?

Hi all, I am trying to get some more visitors to my site and on the seochat.com forum I found a free service called Link Vault.
This is basically a link exchange programme which allows you to easily get more links pointing to your website and therefore a higher rank in the search engines.
I am wondering if any of you have experience with these kind of tools, I do not know if it works yet because I only signed up today...
Here is the address: http://www.link-vault.com/?ss=2399
(Yes, when you sign up using this address I receive a higher Vaultage, is this spam?)
I am curious about your experiences!

I'm running a blog with a category 'photos'. In each post I publish one or more photos. I'd like to configure a static page template to show only photos from all post of a certain category. I always put photos using standard WP2.0 picture upload method. Is it possible to configure 'the_content' filter to remove all text from post and leave only links to photos? How? :)
You'll ask - why not a gallery? Because: it's a lot of work and none of the galleries can display thumbs as usual links to image files (so that lightbox plugin could display the picture 'the cool way') :)
Thanks for help :)

"There are always three speeches, for every one you actually gave. The one you practiced, the one you gave, and the one you wish you gave."
"Men use thought only as authority for their injustice, and employ speech only to conceal their thoughts"
"One of the most wonderful things in nature is a glance of the eye; it transcends speech; it is the bodily symbol of identity"
"Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity."
"It is a paradox that every dictator has climbed to power on the ladder of free speech. Immediately on attaining power each dictator has suppressed all free speech except his own."
"The Framers [of the Constitution] knew that free speech is the friend of change and revolution. But they also knew that it is always the deadliest enemy of tyranny."
"I hate it when people say somebody has a "speech impediment", even if he does, because it could hurt his feelings. So instead, I call it a "speech improvement", and I go up to the guy and say, "Hey, Bob, I like your speech improvement." I think this makes him feel better."

The best thing that could happen would be:
1) For them to reveal Wii Fit +
2) Several big first party releases, like Star Fox, Kid Icarus, and F-Zero
3) A teaser for Zelda Wii.
Appease both casual and hardcore = win.
I made Kid Tripp! PocketGamer gave it a 9 out of 10! You should totally buy it now!

get_all_user_settings() which is used by get_user_setting now checks that user is logged in - ie get_current_user_id is non-zero - before returning anything. The single line change that makes the difference is that pre-3.7:
if ( ! $user = wp_get_current_user() )
was changed in 3.7 to:
if ( ! $user_id = get_current_user_id() )
This is a bit of a bummer as it was handy to use all the cookie stuff in utils.js before.
The workaround for me was just to copy the pre-3.7 version into my own code.

Hello all! My first post since getting back into Lego!
Posted 12 February 2012 - 08:59 PM
I like it! I always loved playing with RC cars as a kid.
Posted 13 February 2012 - 03:13 AM
Here I was thinking this was going to be a real RC Pod Racer lol, regardless very nice mini
Posted 13 February 2012 - 03:19 AM
Very nice! For a moment I thought it was an RC (TS) podracer.
I've done a lot of Mafia games over the years. Somehow, I haven't improved at all.
Scott. Great Scott, if you will.
Working on...another...Mafia...story...
Posted 14 February 2012 - 12:48 AM
Nice mini. The scuba piece and tires add some really nice detail.
Currently playing Hybros, 55-year-old male imp Marauder, and
Jinnipher Buchaire, 77-year-old female Moon Elven Knight
in the Heroica RPG
Posted 14 February 2012 - 12:53 AM
A great little diorama but I think you could have just come up with what could be a great idea for the lego line. Imagine loads of real RC lego podracers and kids (maybe a few adults ) racing them!
Anyway great mini and a well executed scene.

Some mail carriers in North Central Troy and Lansingburgh now have a little company as they make their daily rounds.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service confirms there will be armed escorts after hearing concerns from letter carriers. There have been a number of shootings in the area in the past months some bullets ricocheted near a mail carrier recently. A spokesman is not giving their exact location for safety reasons.

after reading the contract I decided I could do better by saving my money and buying one on Ebay.
after calling and cancelling my order less than a week after my initial call, I was still charged 249.00 for the first installment.
I called and spoke to a person named John and he promised to get my refund to me ASAP. Of course, that didn't happen.
I have called and emailed no less than 50 times and have gotten two responses so far. One from another John, and one from a Randy who promised I would have my refund by 9/28/04.
Of course, that didn't happen either. They don't even have the courtesy to respond. At this point its not only the 249.00's its the principle. I want my damned money!

Check out Jennifer Lawrence on the cover of Elle. I barely recognized 'The Hunger Games' star! Doesn't Jennifer look great? I'm loving her hair. And I'm practically panting over that Balenciaga dress on the cover! Jennifer opened up to Elle on a wide range of topics.
On dieting for a role: "I'm never going to starve myself for a part… I don't want little girls to be like, 'Oh, I want to look like Katniss, so I'm going to skip dinner. That's something I was really conscious of during training, when you're trying to get your body to look exactly right. I was trying to get my body to look fit and strong- not thin and underfed."
On her relationship with British actor Nicholas Hoult: "[My boyfriend] is honestly my best friend, and hopefully I'm his best friend too. He's my favorite person to be around and makes me laugh harder than anybody…We can eat Cheetos and watch beach volleyball and we turn into two perverted Homer Simpsons, like, 'Oh, she's got a nice ass.' I never thought we'd have such different opinions on asses."
On saying what she's thinking: "I never know what's going to come out of my mouth, and it's horrible. I don't find it positive in any way. When I get older, I'll be more mature and poised. And I'll have control over my mouth. One day, I'm going to grow up…When we leave, I'm going to have a knot in my stomach. I'm going to be like, 'Oh, did I say something wrong? I'm going to get in trouble!'"
On being in control: "Acting, films, scripts, is literally the only thing I'm 100 percent confident in. I know what I'm doing. I just understand it, and I love it. When I'm on set, that's when I feel the most at home and in control."
On living modestly: "Ten million dollars and I'm still living in my parents' condo…I've always lived in a tiny rat-infested apartment in New York, or a little condo in L.A., or a normal house in Kentucky. I think it would be very bizarre to live in a big mansion by myself."
Jennifer sounds like one of the most down-to-earth actresses in Hollywood! Her fame is only going to grow: I hope she can hold onto that. You can read Jennifer's entire interview (and see the entire stunning photoshoot) in the December issue of Elle. It hits newsstands next week, on November 13!
