drop down list in vb
Suppose a drop down list contains names of cities.
If i press 'm' cities starting with 'm' must be shown in a small box below the combo box.
similar to the addressbar in internet explorer.
if we type 'www.y' then we will be able to see list of websites starting with 'y'.
how to achieve this in vb 6.0?
Re: drop down list in vb
You need to be scrolling the content of the combo box.
Re: drop down list in vb
I remember there being a custom active X control for this functionality. It comes with your Visual basic installation, can't quite recall the name of the control.

Volume IV: Western Mediterranean
Volume V: Central Mediterranean
Volume VI: Eastern Mediterranean.
The EHW is an ongoing electronic project aiming to record, document, and disseminate all the historical data that testify to the presence and influence of Hellenic culture throughout time and space. So far, three volumes have appeared online:
Volume I: Asia Minor
Volume II: The Black Sea
Volume III: Constantinople
The encyclopaedia's entries deal with geographical-cultural areas lying beyond the borders of the modern Greek state, and range chronologically from prehistory through the present day. Entries are divided into four main categories: a) geographical entities, b) persons, c) events, and d) general topics. Each entry is accompanied by an array of features such as footnotes, bibliography, audiovisual material, glossary, links to useful websites, and so forth (see for example the entry on Pompey΄s Campaign in Asia Minor: http://www.ehw.gr/l.aspx?id=12409).
The fact that the EHW is available free via the Internet, makes it accessible to a larger, wider and more diverse audience than that of a printed version, since the World Wide Web is today one of the main means of education, communication, information and entertainment.
For further information and expression of interest, please send a message and a copy of your CV by the end of September 2011 to one of the following email addresses:
firstname.lastname@example.com (Antiquity)
firstname.lastname@example.com (Middle Ages)
email@example.com (Modern period)
In response to your inquiry, a list of available entries and Author Guidelines will be sent to you. Please then select which unassigned entries may best suit your interests and expertise. Each contributor will receive full publication credits and a small honorarium.

A team of 22 interns from Driscoll's volunteered at Second Harvest in August, packing 2,400 bags of non-perishable food for USDA distributions at the Second Harvest warehouse, as well as Food For Children sites throughout Santa Cruz County.
USDA distributions take place on the second Monday of every month. In August, we provided 1,484 households with frozen chicken, strawberries, and seasonal produce, along with the non-perishable items.
The Driscoll's interns really enjoyed the opportunity to work together and help others. Here are a few of their comments.
"Volunteering at Second Harvest Food Bank was a great experience that has inspired me to devote more of my time to assist those in need." Rene Ruvalcaba, Human Resources Intern
"The time we spend packing food at Second Harvest Food Bank in Watsonville was an enriching and memorable experience. It was a great way to live out our company values of passion and humility. I feel so grateful to have the opportunity to work with Second Harvest Food Bank and can't wait to do it again." CJ Miller, Human Resources Intern
"It was an amazing experience, working with other interns, knowing that we were able to help the community. I enjoyed the assembly line, it was fun and for a good cause. By simply providing our time for a couple of hours, we finished packing many bags of food for people in need." Marcos Gijon, Philanthropy Intern
We'd like to thank Driscoll's for the many ways they support Second Harvest and our mission to end hunger and malnutrition by educating and involving the community.
Groups are always welcome at Second Harvest and volunteering is a great team building activity. For more information or to schedule a food sort, please contact Volunteer Services Manager, Danny Robles at 831-722-7110, x205.

The Miami Dolphins have the seventh and ninth picks of the 2013 NFL draft's Day 3 and there is good talent available.
The Dolphins biggest needs heading into the draft were an offensive tackle, a cornerback and a tag-team partner for Cameron Wake. Miami emphatically filled its pass-rushing need with Dion Jordan and doubled up on cornerbacks with Jamar Taylor and Will Davis. Dallas Thomas was selected in the third round and will likely play right tackle for the Dolphins if no other tackles are added to the team.
Now, it is difficult to predict what Jeff Ireland will do next with five draft picks remaining. His masterpiece is almost complete and he will add two pieces shortly after Day 3 of the NFL draft commences.
Let's look at some potential fourth-round selections that would fit nicely in Miami.

How in the world can it already be Wednesday of this week?! I've been so looking forward to this week because…(we're home all week!!) Haha! We've been going non-stop…Lubbock, Austin, Midland, Albuquerque and Aric went back to Austin this weekend!! I'm so excited to finally be back home and getting to edit all the beautiful pictures that we've been taking the past several weeks! Weddings and sessions and so many sweet, beautiful couples!
Andrea and Ric. Seriously. These two. Could they BE any more adorable together? How or why we get so many couples that look like they came straight out of a fashion magazine is still a mystery to me- but I'm not complaining! When a couple looks like Andrea and Ric do and who simply adore each other like they do- our job is pretty easy. We've been looking forward to meeting them for almost a year now! Andrea contacted us last summer about her wedding this coming August in the Napa area! She gushed about her fiance and their wedding plans and I pretty much fell in love with her strong, sweet spirit as I got to know her more and more through emails. Ric proposed to her at the end of a half marathon that they ran and finished together!! What a sweet sweet surprise to be awaiting her at the end of that! I love it! We learned that these two are adventurers, who love traveling and being outdoors. They're kind of a power couple- who I'm so excited to know and honestly I can't wait to see them as a bride and groom on their wedding day. We feel truly honored to get to be a part of their celebration!
Hope you guys enjoy a few of our favorites from their session in Austin!
seriously gorgeous couple…i just adore yalls photography! that navy dress is calling my name!
You're right-adorable, beautiful couple! Love the proposal story! The pics aren't bad either!! Love that last b&w one.

NBC's swagger now a stagger
This winter, NBC has learned the hard way just how fleeting victory can be.
The network had its best fall in years.
The new prime-time lineup got a welcome push from the Summer Olympics in London. The post-apocalyptic drama "Revolution" was a surprise hit after "The Voice," the singing contest that has turned into NBC's main entertainment draw.
NFL games reigned supreme on Sundays. Mired in fourth place for years, NBC suddenly found itself No. 1 -- a position it hadn't regularly seen in nearly a decade.
Entertainment chief Bob Greenblatt, a former producer and Showtime boss hailed as the mastermind of NBC's turnaround, was confident enough to take a swipe at a rival network chief during a recent presentation.
He exulted that in reengineering NBC, he was following the old mantra of 1980s programming legend Grant Tinker: "First, be best; then, be first."
And then, as these winter weeks have dragged on, the victory pedestal has come crashing down.
The Broadway drama "Smash" -- Greenblatt's pet project -- bombed on its return, with low ratings that shocked even TV veterans. The medical thriller "Do No Harm" posted the worst numbers ever for a new network drama.
Football is gone until fall, and "The Voice" and "Revolution" won't be back until April.
Even "30 Rock" -- the sitcom that drew critical raves but not high ratings -- wrapped up its run.
Things have sunk so low that for the first time ever, NBC finished the February "sweeps" period -- which local stations use to help determine ad rates -- in fifth place, behind CBS, Fox, ABC and Spanish-language Univision. Its top-rated entertainment show is "The Biggest Loser" -- at No. 35.
"I hate to say it, but they're in trouble," said Gary Carr, senior vice president at the media agency TargetCast. "Nothing's really held. Go night by night, and they don't really have anything that's performing well."
What's more, he added, "they don't seem to have a whole lot of great shows coming down the line."
The situation casts a dark cloud over the tenure of Greenblatt, who was brought aboard two years ago by the network's parent, the cable giant Comcast. His stewardship of Showtime had led to a number of shows that drew critical praise and pop-culture buzz, including "Weeds," a dark comedy about a pot-dealing mom, and "Dexter," about a vigilante serial killer.
Although few TV veterans believe Greenblatt's job is in imminent jeopardy, his future will likely depend on the programs he develops for this fall. NBC has ordered 11 drama and 17 comedy pilots -- a higher total than any other network -- in a sign that it's ramping up efforts to find new hits.
By comparison, CBS, the most-watched network, has ordered 24 pilots -- evenly divided between drama and comedy -- with network boss Leslie Moonves already indicating that very few of those will make it to the schedule presented to advertisers in May. NBC, however, is likely to have far more holes in its schedule that need to be plugged with new material.
NBC executives declined to comment on the record for this story.
In fairness, no broadcaster has been on a tear this season. The fall lineups have yet to produce any runaway hits, and every network except CBS is down among total viewers compared with last year.
Fox has shrunk a whopping 23 percent, due largely to poorer-than-expected showings for its singing shows "The X Factor" and "American Idol."
But the situation is more critical for NBC because it has been in the ratings cellar for so long. The network needs to prove to viewers as well as advertisers that it can still lure big audiences.
"It seems more catastrophic than it is, because they don't have hits around them," said Chet Fenster, managing partner of MEC Entertainment.

In April, 2011, a grand and luxurious wedding bridal was ceremoniously held by England loyal household, which is focused by every citizen all over this country. William prince and his girlfriend Kate played the leading role. Thousands of people focused great attention upon that. After falling in love with each other for almost ten years and going through many obstacles together, people convince that they will be bound to lead a happy life as the fairy tale was.
The wedding of William and Kate are so admirable. Especially the sapphire ring and a pair of shinning earrings she wore. This sapphire ring William sends to Kate is his mother, Princess Diana's memento for the next princess. So is the earring. The pair of earring is Princess Dana's favorite and it's necessary for her every attended function. Inlay a sapphire and 14 little diamonds around make the prestigious Princess rings so precious.
The pair of elegant earring is manufactured in 2006 by Links of London, made up from white quartz. Kate's wearing can surely lead to an increasing purchasing boom. It is said by England Loyal that the earring was reserved as a small part of wedding present for Princess Diana and other jewelry include necklace, matched rings, bracelet and watch. Years ago, when Princess Diana owing the earring that wore by Kate, it was still a pair of ear nail. Now it has been transformed into earrings by Kate and added little diamonds and sapphire in it, which match totally with the ring she had.
I notice that Kate's attire in various occasions is in brief design but much decent, showing her elegance and grace thoroughly. Her dressing is easy to go with the jewelry she wears. Kate won't be as luxurious as other princess who is eager to wear costly suits and jewelry. In contrary, she knows how to make purchasing economically. That's a good point I admire.
On July20th, 2011, the wedding dress, wedding shoes and all the wedding jewelry of the princess were displayed in the Bucking Ham Palace in London. Thousands of citizens come in great number to visit everything about the Century Wedding. From the enthusiastic scene, we can make a conclusion that the citizens, even people all over the world are sincerely making best wishes to them, for their true love surpass the reality and let people believe the Cinderella's fairy tale is being in this sophisticated society. So I always possess a belief that owing jewelry is not an ultimately purpose, we should aim to discover happiness life.

Free Market
An entirely theoretical economic system in which all the participants have access to perfect information, all the consumers are automata motivated by the desire to maximize their marginal utility and all the suppliers are constrained by supply and demand.
Economic War.
Competition is conflict resolved in a destructive manner. War is large scale competition. Free market is large scale economic competition. So, a free market is economic warfare.
How any serious economist manages to believe that anything good comes from warfare is beyond me. Of course, the consumers benefit from bankruptcies and price wars just as surely as the vultures benefit from the corpses and bloodletting on the battlefield. But then, using the biology term for vultures and necrophages is quite revealing. So one of the assumptions of the free market is that the consumer (in actuality, the
since nothing is ever marketed at babies, only their parents) is all-deserving and the worker can go hang himself. The free market is the perfect ideology of the rich and super-rich since it underwrites their belief that they are all-deserving and that labour must fight itself.
In actuality, nothing good comes about from competition but only from conflict resolved in a cooperative manner. Of course, people frequently confuse conflict with competition and rarely recognize cooperation even when they trip over it. Thus they confuse conflict/cooperation with conflict/competition and can't realize that the latter has no advantages. -- rk
as defined above assumes three things:
free flow of information - it is possible for any consumer to know everything relevant about the products s/he is considering buying.
no barriers to competition - anyone who wants to can become a supplier in a market and compete on an even basis with the existing suppliers, assuming equal competence and ability.
direct responsibility - consumers are spending their own resources to buy things for their own use.
Does a
require the absence of government regulation? No: government regulations which work only to ensure these principles (such as mandatory disclosure laws and antitrust regulation) work to bolster the
, not undermine it.
But see a contrary opinion below.
economics are often confused with CapitalistEconomics
Under a capitalist system most businesses are great supporters of free market principles for themselves (except for government subsidies), and great demanders of stringent government interference in their competitors (except for government subsidies).
I would think that in a truly
, there are no laws governing business. Customers (which includes virtually all entities in a
, since businesses as well as individuals must buy things) are free to do whatever research they can on their vendors, and vendors (again, an all-inclusive category, since individuals must sell something to have a positive cash flow) are likewise free to do whatever research they deem necessary on their customers. There is no great divide between "business" and "individual," since both roles may be played by the same entity at different points in the game. There is no freedom of information, save for what people can extract from each other. This means that one entity may do a large amount of research, interviewing, bribery of employees, and the like, and then publish the results of that research to all paying customers. This entity may then sell empty space in this publication to other entities seeking to make themselves better known to the target market of the publication. Thus is media. This seems to work pretty well. There are good times, and there are bad times, but with this system, the participants are free to choose how and when they will address their own problems, or make their own mark, or profit, or even what their profit will be, whether monetary or otherwise. Can organizations grow to become large? Of course. Is someone then free to "topple the empire?" Of course. Does this happen often? Constantly, from smaller markets all the way up. --
It's not very easy for empires to get toppled, though, since beyond a certain size you gain significant power to cripple competitors. It can happen, but the fact that you could gain and lose noble titles never prevented a nobility.
There's an economists' definition of
that's more or less what
described above. Economists can use it as a foundation for modelling, and say: "If there is a
for commodity X, we can deduce the following about it..." Or they can be daring and clever and say, "If there is
for commodity X, except for condition Y, we can deduce..." Or they can do some legwork and say: "There is currently
for commodity X because ... and this is how to make the market for commodity X behave more like a
Then there are various political ideologues' definitions of
, where the term ends up meaning "free of whatever government restrictions I consider odious". This does not quite match the economists' definition, because economists might say, "The government has to do Z to make an effective
in commodity X", while the ideologues might say, "Z is an immoral restriction on our freedom and therefore violates the tenets of the
For example, the USA has a system of "pollution credits", where factories can buy or sell the right to put a defined amount of pollution in the air, and therefore they can pay for improved pollution-control systems by selling their no-longer-needed pollution credits. This is more efficient than the old system, where the the EPA mandated certain pollution-control technologies for all factories, regardless of how much good each individual technology would do at each individual factory. Economists love this system, because it uses
-like mechanisms to handle a classic regulatory problem. It seems to me, though, that a hard-core libertarian should oppose pollution credits, because they are ultimately a license granted by the state. The ideologically pure libertarian way to handle pollution would be to allow anyone harmed by the pollution to sue the polluters for damages, and allow factories to contract with their neighbors to give the neighbors some consideration in exchange for the neighbors waiving their right to sue.
I'm reminded of a quote I saw from an economics professor: "Students come into an economics program as freshmen, and they're all Democrats. Then they take an economics class and learn the theories about how markets should work, and they become Republicans. Then they take a few more classes and learn how markets end up operating in the real world, and they become Democrats again." I wish I could remember the name of the professor who said that.... --
There's a frequent trick used in Economics 101 classes to teach students how cooperation among the producers in a market breaks down with
as little as half a dozen producers
. The problem with the trick is that MonopolisticEffects
only begin occurring when /less/ than half a dozen producers own more than half of the market and, of course, they never bother explaining that every single
on the planet is Monopolistic. -- rk
I wonder how much of what causes the markets to operate unfreely is attributable to the government stepping in and trying to make it operate freely. Of course, the normal, fair solution is to add even more regulation to the market, since it is already doing such a good job of making the market truly free. --
While governments sometimes intervene to make the markets work freely, they more commonly intervene to tilt them towards the constituents of the people in power.
Most interestingly, government interventions that do not have the desired effect are usually augmented by other (supposedly corrective) interventions rather than rescinded. And so ad infinitum
In the real world, markets tend not to operate freely because the conditions described above do not generally hold. Free flow of information often requires active effort on the part of producers, who do not always find it in their short term best interest; barriers to competition do exist, as many production businesses require large infrastructure investments, and often lock in consumers in a number of ways, and even the third condition often does not hold, especially when products and services are largely paid for by insurance. Government intervention is occasionally focused on addressing these things, but doing so takes the kind of political courage rarely found. --
I don't find myself filing insurance claims to buy food. If I'm free to find ways to raise a large amount of capital to enter a market with "large barriers to entry" I wouldn't feel hampered by the costs of capital. As a producer (I produce lines of code, in exchange for dollars), I'd like to keep my consumers knowing only what they need to know for me to make a sale. If that means I open up more information, I do. If I feel like I'd have to give too much information, I walk. As a consumer, for some things, I just don't care enough to do a huge amount of research. For others, I spend weeks pouring over any information I can gather, whether from the vendor itself, or other consumers, or other vendors, or even the media (a vendor of information, legally or illegally obtained). If I don't feel comfortable with a vendor, I walk. If there are only a few vendors, and I don't like any of them, I can pick one which I dislike the least, find another way of doing what I need done, or do it myself. I have yet to encounter a product which I can't find an alternative for, whether a direct substitute in features, or by substituting a different method of doing what I need done which doesn't require me to use a set of vendors I dislike. --
You have been fortunate.
How so?
How about examining in detail some examples that are extremely likely to be counter-examples :
water (other utilities may be relevant)
housing ("vendor" to include previous owner but also builder)
media ("vendor" to be defined as an original, independent source)
infrastructure (roads, etc.)
protection of your civic rights (government & police)
For an interesting biological spin on what free markets mean and why they're important, try
isn't. See
Please consider the following additions to the components of a free market listed at the top of the page.
large number of producers
large number of consumers
money as the sole measure for evaluation
Single suppliers or small numbers of suppliers, especially "cartels," are considered monopolist and anti-free market. The same can be said of single or dominant consumers. The last item leads to most of the disagreement between free market advocates and those who disagree.
A free market approach believes that a price summarizes all evaluation of a good or service, hence that price is deemed "fair". In this case, fair merely means adhering to all of the free market principles. Others view "fair" as incorporating a social component, and would describe free market pricing as "unfair".

No abnormal radioactivity in Jordan from Dimona nuclear plant officials
By Ahmad Khatib
AMMAN After reports in the local press last week claimed that Israel's nuclear reactor in the Negev desert was posing a threat of radioactivity in the region, officials here Friday said daily tests have not found any abnormal nuclear radioactivity in Jordan.
The measurements are in the normal range, Minister of Water and Energy Hani Mulki told the Jordan Times. We are following up the issue with concerned parties to keep monitoring any possible changes in areas near the reactor.
Israel's Dimona reactor, south of Hebron, is about 60 kilometres west of Karak across the Jordan Valley.
It was built over 40 years ago and is capable of producing weapons-grade plutonium. Press reports have said that Israel has built between 100 and 200 nuclear warheads at Dimona.
Mulki stressed that all nuclear facilities should be supervised by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Jordan has made this message clear at the agency's week-long general assembly [which ended yesterday in Austria], the minister added.
Although Israel has never officially admitted having nuclear weapons, it agreed in August to drop its opposition to the launch of United Nations negotiations on banning production of nuclear weapons materials, on condition that it would not be forced to accept international inspections of its nuclear facilities.
A draft resolution signed by Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Libya, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Qatar, Syria, Sudan, Tunisia and Yemen called for Israel, the only state in the Middle East region that is not party to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, to accede to it without further delay.
It demanded that Israel not develop, produce, test or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons and to renounce possession of nuclear weapons, and to place all its unsafeguarded nuclear facilities under the full scope of the agency safeguards.
The agency is considering the Arab states' resolution.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres virtually acknowledged that Israel possessed nuclear weapons during a visit to Jordan in July.
We built a nuclear option, not to in order to have a Hiroshima, but to have an Oslo, Peres told an audience of academics and the media in Amman on July 13.
Minister of Municipal and Rural Affairs Tawfiq Kreishan told the Jordan Times that the Ministry of Energy and other involved parties are continuously coordinating to face any developments that might occur concerning the Dimona plant.
He said, however, there are no confirmations on possible nuclear radioactivity threatening Jordan.
Some local columnists warned against what they called a veiled nuclear strategy adopted by consecutive Israeli governments which, they said, keeps regional tensions high because of the uncertainty surrounding Israel's nuclear programme.
They hoped that the Arab effort at the agency's meeting would eventually force Israel to yield to international pressure, especially following reported signs of possible nuclear leakage or even an explosion at Dimona.

DPZ Capital launches Wealth Management service
DPZ Capital, the Jersey-based boutique investment house, has launched a new Wealth Management service to complement its existing Investment Management offering. The move is part of the firm's growth strategy that has already seen a number of high profile recruitments this year and an impressive increase in assets under management.
DPZ Capital concentrates on providing a pragmatic service that is entirely client focused. As part of the five-year development strategy, DPZ Capital continues to invest in its people, technology and services. This year Tim Watts, Joe Donohoe, Rohit Ahluwalia, Catherine Taylor and Adrian Kemp, all respected and experienced senior figures in the investment and wealth management sector, have joined the firm.
DPZ Capital Chief Executive Darren Zaman said: 'The launch of this new service demonstrates our belief in delivering a level of service, which is tailored to our clients' specific needs, and which continues to perform strongly despite the on-going challenging market conditions. We have invested considerably in both systems and people to underpin our commitment to quality. Our new Wealth Management service will help build our business further in the coming months.'
The launch took place in the unique and historic surroundings of Liberty Wharf in St. Helier, and was attended by leading figures from the local and international finance community. DPZ Capital invited art students from De La Salle College to mount an exhibition of their work at the venue, reflecting the firm's commitment to nurturing young exceptional talent. Joe Donohoe of DPZ Capital said: 'We are very grateful to Mark Blanchard and his students from De La Salle for helping us to make the launch event stand out for our guests. This is a really talented group of artists and we felt very privileged to have their work on display.'
DPZ Capital was formed five years ago by Darren Zaman and has followed a clear strategic path for growth without compromising its core ethos of delivering tailored investment solutions for its client portfolio.

Fact check: Obama ad on Mccain and computers
A Barack Obama ad says John McCain "doesn't know how to use a computer." Politifact.com says that's mostly true — McCain has acknowledged he's not computer savvy but has also said he's trying to learn and uses a BlackBerry.
Here's one other item left over from last week's rush of Sarah Palin news: A McCain campaign ad says that the Obama campaign has disrespected Palin, but FactCheck.org finds that the ad distorts quotes to make its case.

Chief Falco released a memo this week to remind paraders of the laws that will be strongly enforced by the police on the day that the parade rolls through on March 5.
The open container law will be in effect. Persons caught drinking alcohol or with an open container of it in public will face up to a $2,000 fine and possible community service. The same penalties apply to anyone caught urinating in public.
House parties will be under close scrutiny, as well.
"Last year my officers responded to 533 calls for service, with most of those calls being disorderly house parties," Falco wrote in the memo.
Any parties deemed too loud and reckless will be broken up and the house issued a summons, and the inhabitants will also face a fine of up to $2,000 and possible community service.
Finally, disorderly conduct will stick offenders with up to 30 days in jail and up to a $500 fine.

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) earnings typically hit at about 4:30 p.m. EST. The earnings release will cap off what's been a wild quarter in the trading of Apple's stock that saw its shares plummet about 30% from highs reached in September, often with volatile streaks of up-and-down days not typically seen in companies of Apple's size. Just today, the company soared into the close in anticipation of earnings. With just minutes to go until their release, let's take a quick last-minute look at two areas that could have a big impact on Apple's earnings.
1. The headline figures: Sales, earnings, and guidance
What the market's immediate reaction will be based on: Any earnings release is quickly run through the filter of whether or not the company beat expectations. Apple is expected to post revenue of about $54.7 billion and earnings per share of $13.44. That'd lead to 18% higher sales than last year and 3% lower earnings.
What you should watch: Apple's recent plunge has been less about concerns over its sales, which are still seeing healthy growth over last year, and more about its gross margin declines, which have wiped out earnings growth. If Apple can post gross margins close to 40%, it'll likely beat expectations. However, the more important area to watch will be what Apple's guidance implies about next quarter's gross margins and margin comments on Apple's conference call after earnings.
Apple's margin decline is based in large part on the recent launches of the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini. As new products hit manufacturing lines, engineering difficulties mean initial product runs will be more expensive and subsequent runs will decrease in cost as those process improvements decrease manufacturing inefficiencies. With the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini having challenging builds due to innovations that were utilized to make them thinner and lighter, they were a large part of declining gross margins this quarter. Apple's forecast should be a better indicator of how serious the decrease of the company's gross margin is as a long-term concern.
2. Product sales
What the market's immediate reaction will be based on: iPhone sales are broadly expected to be about 48 million and 50 million in the quarter, with iPad sales estimates varying widely, but mainly concentrated in the 20 million to 25 million range.The iPhone figure will be the most closely watched and will drive the majority of Apple's revenue.
What you should watch: Early indications from American wireless carriers point to iPhone sales that could top expectations. One interesting wrinkle could be average selling prices on the iPhone and iPad.
Last quarter, the iPhone's average selling price was $636. The iPad saw an ASP of $535. The iPad ASP is set to drop significantly thanks to the introduction of the iPad Mini. However, the ASP on the iPhone could be interesting on its own. In last year's holiday quarter, the iPhone's ASP jumped to $659 from $643 in the preceding quarter. Early reports from Verizon show about 50% of users buying older 4 and 4S models to save money. More sales than expected of those older models could lead to lower-than-expected ASPs. If iPhone ASP dips significantly, it would be a drag on Apple's sales.
With the iPad, watching ASP trends could give a good feel for how meaningful the iPad Mini has become. Just remember to listen to commentary on Apple's conference call, as iPad Mini supply was constrained throughout the quarter, and CEO Tim Cook and CFO Peter Oppenheimer will give additional thoughts on the iPad Mini's availability and growth trajectory.
That's it for my quick look at Apple before earnings. Remember to check back to Fool.com tonight and tomorrow for analysis on Apple's earnings and what they mean for investors going forward.

text: Explore Galicia Santiago de Compostela The Rías Altas A Coruña The Costa da Morte Ría de Muros e Noia Ría de Arousa Ría de Pontevedra Ría de Vigo Inland Galicia Share The most irresistible sands of the Ría de Vigo adorn the three islands of the Illas Cíes, which can be reached by boat from Vigo, and (less regularly) from Baiona and Cangas. Sprawling across the entrance to the ría, battered by the open Atlantic on one side but sheltering delightful sandy beaches where they face the mainland, the islands were long used by raiders such as Sir Francis Drake as hide-outs from which to ambush Spanish shipping, but are now a nature reserve. The most southerly, Illa de San Martiño, is an off-limits bird sanctuary; the other two, Illa do Monte Ayudo and Illa do Faro, are joined by a narrow causeway of sand, which cradles a placid lagoon on its inland side. Most visitors stay on the sands, with their sprinkling of bars and a campsite in the trees, so if you want to escape the crowds, it's easy to find a deserted spot – particularly on the Atlantic side. From the beach, a long climb up a winding rocky path across desolate country leads to a lighthouse with a commanding ocean view. The islands' campsite has a small shop and restaurant, but if you're on a budget you're better off taking your own supplies.

Album Review
Putting two well-known and influential gospel groups together,
Gospel Legends, Vol. 1
collects songs from both the prolific
Soul Stirrers
the Fairfield Four
into one two-disc compilation.
The Soul Stirrers
, who counted
Rebert Harris
Paul Foster
Sam Cooke
, and
Johnnie Taylor
among its singers and who first introduced the style of hard gospel singing to the more traditional ultra-polished group harmonies of the jubilee sound, crossed the line between pop and gospel again and again with acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums, and the occasional organ. Only the religious lyrics really separated their music from the songs that were being played on the radio during the same time period (
is a perfect example of this: after leaving
the Soul Stirrers
in 1957 to begin his solo secular career, he continued to work with the group, signing them to his SAR label and even writing some pieces for them as well).
The Fairfield Four
, who hail from Nashville, are heavily influenced by country and have a more traditional gospel sound, which is nice complement to the R&B-inspired
Soul Stirrers
. The liner notes for both groups, which describe their development and changes, are helpful, especially considering that neither disc has its tracks listed chronologically. And as there are no song credits (again, the liner notes point out important songs in each of the groups' long careers, but few of these are then included on the record), listeners less knowledgeable about the changing lineups may have a hard time figuring out who exactly is singing on each track. Not that this matters much, at least musically, because each singer, whether lead or backup, for both groups, is able to bring his own voice and mannerisms to the songs, and all of them sound very good.
The Soul Stirrers
' "Year King Uzziah Died" is bluesy and strong, while "Lead Me Jesus" has smooth R&B background vocals that reinforce the emotion of the lead, and "Don't Let Nobody Turn You Around," by
the Fairfield Four
, shows off the vocal power of all its members. Though
Gospel Legends, Vol. 1
may be lacking some of
the Soul Stirrers
Fairfield Four
's more famous songs, it's still a great collection of music from two of the genre's seminal groups.

By Nintendo | Released: 1990
A spiritual sister series to Nintendo's Legend of Zelda, StarTropics was an overhead dungeon-exploration action/adventure that, unfortunately, never made it past the NES. This original and its sequel, Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II, are still fondly remembered by faithful Nintendo fans to this day for their unique and light-hearted twist on genre conventions. Your character's primary weapon is a common yo-yo, and his secondary items are equally ordinary – baseballs, baseball bats and spiked cleats are all notable entries into your arsenal. The hero, Mike Jones, is just an average kid from Seattle who's looking for a lost archaeologist in the tropical archipelago of Caribbean-esque islands. Stiff control, demanding jumping and misdirecting puzzles all gave StarTropics' many dungeon sequences a considerable challenge factor. Overworld puzzle-solving was equally as important – there was even a riddle that you couldn't solve unless you opened up the physical game box and read a piece of paper packaged with the game. An early attempt by Nintendo at copy protection? Perhaps. But totally memorable, no matter what the motivation.
Even before the used market took off, Nintendo made some moves to make sure that purchasers of a fresh version got a better experience than someone who borrowed a pre-played one. I remember the one clue you had to solve by soaking an included piece of paper in water to reveal it the answer. Good luck finding a copy now that doesn't have a warped parchment…
- Craig Harris, IGN Nintendo Executive Editor

Delinquent accounts mean lights out for some in Columbiana
July 5, 2013
COLUMBIANA — The city is working on reducing the number of delinquent utility accounts....
It is shocking to hear about this from a community that does not suffer from the scourge of crime, drugs, and welfare deadbeats. Or at least that is what a few people from there tell me.

D&D with Dan Harmon (creator of Community) in his Harmontown Podcast
Hey -- Not sure if anyone has mentioned/noticed this yet.
Dan Harmon, the writer and comic who created Community (and got canned last season) has a comedy podcast called Harmontown (link below) in which he's playing D&D.
They only give it about 5-10 minutes per show, but they have guest stars play with them once or twice and generally have a good time with it -- in a very tactics-low/dick-jokes-high sort of way.
The D&D concept comes up around episode 5, I think.
Harmontown Link:
FAIR WARNING #1: This show can be really offensive at times, if you're a bit sensitive. I don't personally think they go too far, but they're out there close to the cliff's edge a lot. Be prepared for adult themes and content. It's VERY NSFW, NSF Children, and so on.
It's recorded in the "Nerdmelt" theater, a comedy venue in the back of a comic book store in LA -- Chris Hardwick does some shows there, too, and he appears in one of the pre-D&D episodes, so if you're a fan of his, you might want to start at the beginning.
FAIR WARNING #2: They're playing 3.5, the DM is a guy they pulled out of the audience and who become a regular part of the show (awesome to be that guy). But the DM does most of the dice rolling and they're playing theater of the mind style, so edition doesn't matter very much at all.

Dr. Kelly was so considerate and kind, even though I feel he was very busy. I really appreciate his compassion for my welfare.
Dr. Kelly is the best doctor! I feel so very very lucky he is my doctor and looks after me. I feel safe in his hands and know that he will detect anything wrong.
Very good experience - Wonderful caring doctor.
I walked in worried and left the office comfortable that this new physician (NOT a provider, a DOCTOR) was the person I needed to operate on me.
i have already recommend Dr. Kelly. he and his staff are very goo at what they do.
*Dr. Kelly is THE BEST!
*Dr. Kelly was very kind. He had a easy personality making me feel comfortable. I appreciate his kindness.
Dr Kelly and the other Dr ( a lady that was so sweet but I can't remember her name), both made me feel a lot better about a difficult diagnosis. I felt at ease from the moment they came in. I appreciate their concerns for me and their reassurance.
I have completed this form before: *Dr. Kelly... excellent care/I could not be more pleased.
Best provider I have ever had that listens and acts like he he's concerned about your problem.
Very impressed with physician. Knowledgeable, caring, expert surgeon, friendly and takes time to talk to youl
Just beginning my relationship with *Dr. Kelly, but he has been efficient, patient with my questions and attentive to my case so far.
I feel my physician is never prepared to see me and he has never followed up after an office visit without additional contact from me requesting promised information. I deduce his patient load or work responsibilities are too great to spend time on my case.
I am so blessed to have Dr. Kelly as my doctor. Very soft spoken, kind, compassionate. Explains things very well. Listens very well.
In many cases information was provided because I asked direct questions. Provider did not volunteer information.
My faith Most pleased with Dr Kelly...so compassionate and concerned....Detailed in explanations ...called me from out of town to give me medical update....
This provider was very professional and kind.
Dr. Kelly is an excellent surgeon. I am so very lucky to have gotten him as my doctor. I respect him very much and trust him completely.
dr kelly is very compassionate and I fully trust his expertise
100% satisfied with my visit
Dr provided excellent care and was very patient and spent all the time i needed to express my concerns and discuss my condition Nurse was very friendly and accomidating
Love this doctor! He has brought me from stage 4 ovarian cancer to "cancer-free" in 5 months. (Feb. - to June, 2015.)
This visit MUCH BETTER overall than last visit.
Very good.
Dr. Kelley is A-1 in my book... wish I had found him way sooner then maybe id not had so many problems all my last few years... My hats off to dr Kelley and his staff under him

Magic Journey to Africa (3D)
Alternate Title(s): Formerly The Magic Tale
Inspired by her encounter with a young bushman boy that she meets on the streets of Barcelona, Jana, a lively and curious ten-year-old girl, embarks on an imaginary journey to the Namib desert, accompanied by her magical winged horse. She is searching for answers for the many questions which arise from her encounters with other children, animals and natural phenomena. She discovers the difficult living conditions of the desert's inhabitants, and how they manage to survive. She also discovers the surprising nature of some animals she finds on her way, such as foxes, elephants, monkeys, giraffes and lions, whose behavior is often similar to that of humans, both in their capacity to love as in some less positive aspects.
In a Himba village, she meets a young boy her age, Mel, who will accompany her on her journey in search of the country of dreams and magical creatures. Mel will guide her through surprising encounters with magical beings, such as the Spirit of the Fire and the Guardian of Stories, and he will teach her traditions and beliefs of the African people, such as the Tree of Ancestors or the Temple of the Elephants. She will also meet a young girl, Gal.la, who lives with her mother in a plant hospital, and who will give her one of the magical stones that the bushman boy has left so that she may follow his trail.
Finally, Jana, with the help of a singular Fairy who will teach her some of the secrets of life, will discover that her heart and imagination are essential in order to overcome the many obstacles that may appear in her way.
MAGIC JOURNEY TO AFRICA is a 3D film that combines real images with animation and visual effects, enhancing the spectacularity of the three dimensions. It is based on an inspirational contemporary tale addressed to audiences of all ages around the world, a story that has reminiscences of "The Little Prince" and "Alice in Wonderland," and that inspires fantasy, emotions and entertainment.

The following are actual search terms people typed into Google (Yahoo?) which directed them to CaPC. In most cases they didn't find the answer they were looking for on our site. FSQ is an attempt to remedy this problem by answering some of the most (de)pressing questions sent to us through search terms.
This week's theme is the Dangers of Technology.
Q 1. "Making secular music into Christian songs"
…is a horrible idea stop now.
Q 2. "Www.how can someone become a perfect suicide bomber?"
Q 3. "Father daughter date night creepy"
If you think it's creepy, then it is. But if you just did this Google search to justify your decision to not buy your kid a cheeseburger and take her to see Wreck-It Ralph (in 3D), then you're lame.
Q 4. "Can playing video games kill you?"
Yes. See the 1983 documentary, Wargames. Or Darkwing Duck, Episode 29: "Whiffle While You Work" where Darkwing and Quakerjack get trapped in the Whiffleboy video game and almost don't make it out, alive (1991). Chilling.
Q 5. "Country songs about dilemmas?"
I know nothing about "country" "music," however, Google is a thing. So, here's the best I could do based off of research:
"(Are) We Never Getting Back Together?"
"(Should we) Cruise?"
"(Ought we be) Blown Away?"
"(Is it Right for Her to be the) Fastest Girl in Town?"
"(Is it) Better (to) Dig Two?"
Q 6. "Christian bands like white stripes"
Fascinating! I'm partial to blue circles, myself.
Q 7. "Is taking pole dancing for your husband a sin?"
A sin? No, but you could be enabling his sloth. If he wants to pole dance then make him do it himself. You can't do everything for the man. Biblical manhood and all that.
Q 8. "Wife retired plays computer games always feels bad."
Try letting her win once in a while, jerk. Also, see Q 4.
Q 9. "Zombie apocalypse and Christian belief."
Unfortunately I'm not well versed in dispensational eschatology. But if you are concerned, I can say that to the best of my knowledge Christians don't belief that there will be a zombie apocalypse. A localized outbreak? Maybe.
Q10. "Technology is an edged weapon."
Yes, and Google owns the patent for "Sharp thing you can hold in your hand for to cut," so don't expect much competition.

Mahina's Journey - Portland Golf Show
How am I going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I'm committed to? Anthony Robbins
So, when I was reading my latest edition of the Northwest Pacific Golfer, and saw the ad for the upcoming Portland Golf Show at the Convention Center, it occurered to me that maybe we should attend as vendors this year. Usually, I and/or Kristen attend the show to solicit venders for our Annual Golf Tournament. In the past, we have not gotten much support but maybe as a vendor it would be a better outreach.
I contacted Simeon at Varsity Sports Marketing to inquire about booth space and if they allowed charitable organizations to participate for a discount. Simeon thought they could accommodate us, but he would have to check and see how if other non-profit groups had already signed up. He offered us a 10% discount on the regular rate. While waiting for Simeon to get back to us, called David Stead (GM) at Langdon Farms and asked him if they would be attending the PGS. I thought maybe would could share a booth. I figured that we would make a good team, since we hold our tournament there and I am a TPC Farm Card Member. David thought that would be a great idea. David offered to contact Simeon too and get a quote for the bigger booth.
Simeon gave me a quote of $995 for a half space booth. A couple days later, I heard from David and he could upgrade his booth for an additional $705. All we would need to pay for sharing the booth would be the $705. Excellent! That would work out just fine. Thanks David.
Kristen and I both thought this would be a great opportunity to talk to men and get our message out. We were excited and started to put together ideas on how best to present MYCF. We had past promotion materials, banners and would have 2012 tournament brochures printed. We figured that we could sell "Helicopter golf ball drop" raffle tickets too, plus we could offer an early registration price of $100 vs. the $125 rate.
Once we decided to move forward, we knew we would have to act fast and get as many ideas as we could formulate and then put all the pieces together. I had already booked my road trip plans, to travel down to California, and knew that my return home would be close to the shows starting date. That meant that Kristen would have to get most of the items together. But, of course, I knew that she could do it, she is a pro at organizing these things.
Once home, I looked over the stuff that we had gathered to take with us to the PGS. We were taking the "Hole in One" poster and easel, golf balls, tees, PC wristband, buttons, pins and brochures. I packed a couple of MYCF Polo shirts from our previous tournament, to display. Kristen had ordered a new MYCF banner, just for this event. I went at picked it up from Fast Signs, in Tigard. Kristen was busy organizing all the other things that we needed to take with us. I had contacted a few buddies to see if they would be able to help us out during the PGS. Jeremy Jones would be helping the first day and the last that day (Fri. & Sunday). Clay Morgan and Dave Mahar would be splitting shifts on Saturday. The show hours were: Friday 11-6pm, Saturday 9-6pm, Sunday 9-4pm. We were set to go!
February 10, 2012 - Friday morning, the first day of the show I had Jeremy meet us at our house around 9:30am. Kristen and I loaded up her 1999 Isuzu Trooper with all the material we had gathered and we made our way to the convention center. We drove around to the back entrance, where the exhibitors entered and dropped off our things and I parked the Trooper across the street in the Vendors lot. $25 passes for the 3 days. That's pretty darn cheap. Thanks goodness.
We found our booth space, next to Langdon Farms GC. Stephanie was already there setting up their booth. Stephanie has been working for LFGC for many years and in various positions. She is now part of their Tournament Events sales team. David showed up about the same time that we were setting up our side of the booth. We got our banners hung and all of our materials on the table. In shows like this location is everything. We were very fortunate that our booth space was directly in front of the entrance line. People had already been assembling when we arrived and the line grew longer and longer.
Neither of us knew what to expect from the day. We both had attended these type of shows as "Customers" as well as vendors. We were ready to go about 20 minutes before the doors would be officially open. I was getting excited about the day's event and how people would receive our message. I gathered our team together and went over our game plan. Jonzy would be the guy standing outside our tables and drawing men over to talk with. Kristen would have her side of the table and pass out our MYCF golf tournament brochures and encouraging people to sign up for our raffle. Since we were partnering with Langdon Farms GC we were holding a raffle for a $50.00 gift card to Langdon Farms. I would be doing a little of everything. Finally the doors were opened and the crowds came rushing in. You could tell that some people had their game plan too and headed off in various directions. As the initial line of patrons entered, there was excitement in the air. The other vendors around us were busy pitching their dialog and wares to the people that visited their booths.
Finally, we got a few people to come over to us and inquired what we were all about. We explained that we were a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting Prostate Cancer awareness. It was very refreshing that most people were very interested and thanked us for our efforts.
Within the first few hours, we had about 50 raffle participants and had already spoken with several men that have been through the PC experience. That was rewarding to meet other's that had survived prostate cancer and hear about their journeys. We collectively must have talked to more than a hundred men and their spouses about getting PSA tested on a regular basis and to be preventive, by changing the eating routines, exercising and reducing stress.
One of Jonzy missions was to cruise around the hall during the slower times and talk with the various vendors. He has a friendly attitude and is able to talk with just about anyone. That comes from all the years as a bartender. So, off he went to try and get some vendors to donate equipment products, gift certificates and free golf. I also worked some of the vendors too, hoping to get support from a few of them. Jonzy ended up securing a couple of vendors, and so did I. Kristen didn't want any part of the solicitation process. That was fine, because we had Dave Mahar coming to help the next day. He is a great salesman, so I knew he would be comfortable doing that.
As the day progressed, we made some really great contacts with various groups and individuals. We gave away promotional items that we had placed around the tables. The Par for Life wristbands were a hit and the logo MYCF PC awareness tour tees went quickly. We passed out about 100 golf tournament brochures that first day. We even had one person sign up and pay. Of course, it was somebody we knew who had played last year, Russ Dragon. Russ came with my other 2 friends, Chris Turke and Shawn Ogle. They too have played in the past tournaments.
As the day was drawing to a close, we had given away almost all of the tees and wristbands that we had brought. We would have to search around the basement to see if we had anymore. The funny thing about golf shows, people are mostly there for the freebies. It's humorous to watch people grabbing items from the table. Some of them will grab a handful and some will ask if they can have some. But, we were very happy that we had the opportunity to give these PC awareness products away.
Just about closing time, I asked Davis and Stephanie how their day had been. They said that they had a good number of people sign up for their drawing (iPad), but that they only sold a few Farm Cards. I love my farm card and have had one for several years. Any time I heard David or Stephanie talking about the benefits, I would try to add my support into the conversation. I must say that the travel benefits can't be beat! With OB Sports operating over 14 courses in the Phoenix area, 6 in Las Vegas and 4 in Oregon, for the traveling golfer, this deal should not passed up.
The first day of the PGS had come to a close. We didn't need to pack anything up and take back with us, so we just put our things under the table, grabbed our PGS passes and left for the night. Jonzy came in for a cocktail and we recapped the day's events. We all agreed that it was a huge success. I know I was happy that we had attended the show and Kristen was too. We ordered a pizza from Bellagio's, put our feet up and relaxed. 8:00am would come quickly, so we called it an early night.

The following video is from Wednesday's Investor Beat, in which host Chris Hill and Motley Fool analysts Bryan White and Matthew Argersinger take a sharp look at some of the biggest investing stories of the day.
At 2 this afternoon, the Federal Reserve announced that economic conditions were still too weak and that it would be continuing its quantitative easing program, buying $85 billion in bonds each month. Previous announcements this year that QE would be continuing saw the market rise, but today's announcement resulted in a market pullback on the news. In the lead story on today's Investor Beat, Matt and Bryan discuss why the market might not have liked the news this time and when they would like to see quantitative easing come to an end.
