Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Reflecting last night upon my fantasy football championship win, I thought about the similarities between fantasy sports and stock picking. As fantasy sports have been brought online, playing on a team has become so automated and simple that any fan (or non-fan) can jump right in and play. Old-schoolers used to spend hours tracking stats and assigning value to each player, using the sports section of The New York Times as their guide. These days, all of those stats are available in multiple online formats.
Those of us who buy individual stocks have a similar advantage over our predecessors. We have access to online trading platforms, research, reports, The Motley Fool, and more. The availability and quality of information is endlessly advancing. This has brought the barrier of entry down so the layman can play the game.
What separates the winners from the losers in the stock-picking game? Investors often win and lose for the same reasons as those with fantasy sports teams. In fantasy sports, having a solid draft strategy will get you started on the best possible foundation. You need your top picks to be proven high scorers that are consistent, not prone to injury, supported by a stellar team, and possessed of a certain competitive edge. Similarly, portfolio-worthy stocks tend to possess a track record of increasing revenue and profit, strong balance sheets with little debt and plenty of cash, savvy and inspiring management, and that special something that separates them from the competition.
With these criteria in mind, let's talk about what your first-round and second-round fantasy stock picks might be. I'll follow up with subsequent articles this week and next in order to cover your next-round picks. Happy hunting!
1. Markel (NYSE: MKL )
This $7.8 billion company is a scrappy and physical specialty insurer -- like a little brother to Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B ) and an all-around investment vehicle for everything from bakery equipment to mobile dredging equipment. Leadership at Markel is particularly focused on the humble CIO Tom Gayner, who, like Berkshire analogue Warren Buffett, prefers to hold his investments forever. Executive pay incentives are directly correlated to five-year book value and are payed primarily in restricted stock. This aligns executives and common shareholders as "partners" in Markel (as stated at the outset of the company's annual shareholder letters).
As a "special sauce" bonus, Gayner leverages insurance premiums and cash produced by Markel's subsidiaries into a $2.9 billion equity portfolio that continues to do quite well. According to Markel's 2012 annual shareholder letter (link opens PDF), the company has a compounded annual growth rate of 16% over 20 years and an equity return of 10% versus the S&P 500's 8%. Wrapping up the stats from Markel's most recent quarterly balance sheet, we can see the company is in a strong position, with $2.11 billion in cash, $1.15 billion in short-term investments, and $2.25 billion in debt (likely attributable to the Alterra acquisition and an ongoing share buyback, which are good debts to have). With a firm grip on the wheel, conservative yet market-beating investment returns, and an eye on the distant horizon, Markel should be your No. 1 pick for 2014.
2. Facebook (NASDAQ: FB )
Facebook has proven itself a top-five player to investors over the past year:
This is only Facebook's second year in the big leagues, so if you haven't stepped up and bought in yet, now's the time. Facebook is well ahead in the social-advertising business and has embedded its ecosystem into the daily lives of both businesses and consumers. This quality is the special sauce that what we look for in an advertising business. Facebook solves the age-old Internet challenge of how to make the Internet a place where we can all create, rather than simply consume. Creative engagement is ultimately more sustainable than pure consumption, as the feedback loop is complete: create-consume-comment-consume-create. This process sets the daily activity on Facebook's social network to autopilot.
According to a recent Facebook press release, the platform is unleashing a new video timeline technology that its metrics have shown to increase views by more than 10%. Facebook has the unique platform to test out new technologies on a massive scale to its users, receive feedback, and then deploy to marketers who will then hand them cash. With the Instagram product monetization currently underway, this shows a Facebook track record and future trajectory of innovation and delivering gains to shareholders.
The Facebook story shows in the balance sheet for the third quarter of 2013. Its current cash balance is $3.1 billion, with no debt and very low operating expenses. At this juncture, we can see that Facebook is positioned for major spending on new innovations and acquisitions to propel its growth. It most recently pushed for a $3 billion purchase of Snapchat, which would have taken market share back into the ecosystem while acquiring new talent. Even though this deal did not go through, we can see that management is open to making big moves. 2014 could offer many similar opportunities for Facebook to grow into its market cap (currently $133 billion).
One big question regarding Facebook's viability as an investment has been its management. We all recall the insider reports about what CEO Mark Zuckerberg was wearing (plenty of hoodies) during the Facebook road show on Wall Street, as well as concerns about his ability to manage growth for the long haul. However, not only has he been deemed capable, but he has smartly surrounded himself with an incredibly talented support team. Zuckerburg has also earned himself a 99% ranking on Glassdoor.com as the No. 1 CEO as graded by employees.
Management quality and corporate culture should be serious considerations for long-term investors. Many investors look to quantitative stats as ideal measures for winning stocks, often failing to take the time to investigate what companies look like from the inside. The creative juices and animal spirits that fuel innovation will also help propel a company's stock price higher.
Looking for Another Stock That Will Dominate 2014?
There's a huge difference between a good stock, and a stock that can make you rich. The Motley Fool's chief investment officer has selected his No. 1 stock for 2014, and it's one of those stocks that could make you rich. You can find out which stock it is in the special free report: "The Motley Fool's Top Stock for 2014." Just click here to access the report and find out the name of this under-the-radar company.

MOBILE, Alabama -- A man accused of sex crimes in an multi-county investigation surrounding the family of missing single mother Brittney Wood appeared in front of a judge on a new charge Wednesday.
William "Billy" Brownlee, 49, was arraigned in Mobile County District Court Judge Jay York's courtroom, and had a preliminary hearing date set for Oct. 21
He was one of three men arrested by Bayou La Batre Police officers late in the evening on Oct. 4, outside an area business. Brownlee is charged with second-degree burglary and first-degree criminal mischief.
According to court records, Brownlee and co-defendants Michael Edward Hanson, 40, and Alex Noah Balkcom, 75, were arrested after police were called to a reported burglary at 14562 Shell Belt Rd. on Oct. 4. When officers arrived they found Balkcom outside. He put his hands in the air before telling police he would be reaching for his pistol, which he surrendered.
Police found Brownlee standing at the end of a 16-foot trailer loaded up with 31 12-foot long stainless steel pipes. The pipes were stolen from inside the business, where officers found Hanson, according to an affidavit filed in court.
In an incident report, police said Brownlee and Hanson caused an estimated $20,000 worth of damage to an ice machine. In an affidavit, a Bayou La Batre police officer said two large commercial ice machines were damaged.
Balkcom is set to be arraigned on Oct. 21, and Hanson -- a registered sex offender -- has not had a court date set yet.
Though currently still in Mobile County Metro Jail, Brownlee could be released on $10,500 bail. At the time of the Oct. 4 incident he was out on bond, having been released in January.
In Baldwin County he stands accused of sex crimes involving a 12-year-old Fairhope girl. On Monday, Baldwin County prosecutors filed a motion to have Brownlee's bail revoked in light of his most recent arrest.
That motion is still pending in Baldwin County.
Brittney Wood's brother, Derek Wood,
and uncle, Randall "Scott" Wood, are also facing sex abuse charges in
relation to the Fairhope girl. Brownlee has been described as a close friend of Donald "Donnie" Holland, Wood's uncle and allegedly the last person to see her alive.
Holland killed himself within days of Brittney Wood's May 2012 disappearance.

LANSING — A proposal to add 1,000 cops to Michigan streets is a statewide approach that would incorporate state police as well as township and county officers and would aim to push public safety in a positive direction, Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said today.
Schuette conducted a conference call this afternoon to talk to the media about a legislative proposal to use a portion of surplus state funds to put an additional 1,000 police officers on Michigan streets.
He also talked about his VO-4 initiative, a proposal that would stiffen penalties for repeat violent offenders.
Four Michigan cities on the list of the top 10 most violent in the U.S., including Saginaw, and the loss of 3,200 law enforcement officers in the state since 9/11 equates to "too much fear and not enough safety" in Michigan, Schuette said.
"I for one, as the chief law enforcement officer in Michigan, want to change the equation," he said.
His proposal calls for $140 million of the state's nearly $416-million surplus to fund 1,000 additional officers for two years, at $70 million each year, across the state. He said legislative meetings would be held to determine the details of the plan that would be proposed in several different bills.
When asked about local municipalities providing matching funds, Schuette said that would be among the details addressed by legislators as the bills are crafted.
Addressing concerns about one-time funding for officers that would run out after two years, Schuette said he hopes this proposal will start a debate to push the public safety needle in the right direction, and said it could lead to more funding for public safety in the future
He said he understands the need for more cops in the "hotspots" of Michigan, but noted the reduction of officers has hit every area of Michigan.
"We've got to start somewhere," he said. "The problem is now. We have to something to solve it. This is a statewide approach."
Several law enforcement organizations attended a press conference Wednesday to support Schuette's Public Safety proposals, including the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police, the Police Officers Association of Michigan, the Michigan Fraternal Order of Police and the Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan.
Several prosecutors also attended in support of the plans, including Midland County Prosecutor Michael Carpenter, Isabella County Prosecutor Larry Burdick, Cass County Prosecutor Victor Fitz and Kent County Prosecutor Bill Forsyth.
Saginaw Police Chief Gerald Cliff and Saginaw County Prosecutor Michael Thomas said they support Schuette's proposals, though they did not attend Wednesday.
The other issue addressed by his proposal, Schuette said, is his VO-4 initiative that would require a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years for felons who commit a serious violent offense as their fourth felony.
"We need to have a targeted way to make sure we lock up repeat violent offenders," Schuette said. "The VO-4 initiative is a tough, effective way to strengthen our laws and keep violent offenders behind bars."

Elizabeth Stride
|Elizabeth Stride
|Place of origin:
|PROSE: The Pit, COMIC: Ripper's Curse, AUDIO: The Wax Princess
After a night of singing and drinking gin, Long Liz and her friend Josie parted company at 12:30 am on 30 September. PC Smith saw the 44 year old woman alive within half an hour of her death walking with a fair-haired man toward her home in Spitalfields. The man who offered to walk her home was Mac'atyde in a shimmer suit. Going down Berner Street at 12:45 am, he led her to Dutfield's Yard, a dead end where he shot a nerve paralytic into her neck. He then used her fear to harvest pheromones and the minerals produced by her kidneys.
Amy Pond learned about Lizzie Stride in school. The guide in a 2011 Ripper tour named her as the third canonical victim. (COMIC: Ripper's Curse)
Prior to her murder, she used to drink in the Red Tavern. (AUDIO: The Wax Princess)
Behind the scenes Edit
- References to her in the novels The Pit and Matrix don't identify her by name. Ripper's Curse provides a lot of information that puts details in the earlier novels in context.
- In Lawrence Miles' Faction Paradox audio story The Eleven-Day Empire, Cousin Eliza tells Cousin Justine part of the reason she chose her Faction name was because of the Ripper victim.

The 2011 GMC Yukon is the middle child among GM's full-size SUVs. Based on price and equipment, the Yukon sits squarely between the Chevrolet Tahoe and Cadillac Escalade. Four-wheel drive is available on the Yukon, as are seating configurations for up to nine occupants. Competitors include the Ford Expedition and Toyota Sequoia.
The Yukon XL is covered separately in the Cars.com Research section.
New for 2011
There are no significant changes.
The Yukon has a one-piece grille and taller headlights than its sister Tahoe, with jewel-like bezels and a wider, lower air dam. The rest of the body features blocky fenders, long rear-quarter windows and a squared-off back end. The Yukon is also available in a higher-end Denali trim level. Denali models come with 20-inch wheels, chrome exterior moldings and a power-operated rear liftgate.
Exterior features include:
- Integrated running boards
- Standard 17-inch aluminum wheels
- Standard heated power side mirrors
- Optional 20-inch wheels
- Chrome grille (Denali edition)
- Optional articulating running boards
The Yukon's dashboard has the same shape as its GM siblings. That's good news because the domed instrument panel, carlike dashboard and flush-mounted buttons make for a handsome design.
This SUV can seat up to nine occupants when benches are placed in all three rows. Some models replace first- and second-row benches with captain's chairs, lowering total seating capacity to seven. The third row is removable, but it doesn't fold flat to the floor as some competitors' seats do. Third-row seating is standard on all models. Interior features include:
- Standard leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls
- Available cloth, vinyl or leather-appointed seats
- Available integrated rear camera in rearview mirror
- Available heated/cooled seats (Denali models)
Under the Hood
The Yukon is available with either rear- or four-wheel drive. The Yukon Denali can have an all-wheel-drive system that's distinct from the available part-time four-wheel drive on the regular Yukon.
When properly equipped, the Yukon can tow up to 8,500 pounds.
Powertrain features include:
- Flex-fuel 320-horsepower, 5.3-liter V-8 with 335 pounds-feet of torque (348 pounds-feet when running on E85) and an available cylinder-deactivation system
- Flex-fuel 403-hp, 6.2-liter V-8 with 417 pounds-feet of torque
- Six-speed automatic transmission
- Optional variable load-leveling suspension
- Power rack-and-pinion steering
Safety options include a blind spot warning system, rear parking assist and a rearview camera system integrated into the rearview mirror.
Standard safety features include:
- Side curtain airbags with rollover sensor
- Side-mounted thorax airbags
- Four-wheel-disc antilock brakes

Mining the Records of Dictators and Terrorists – Saddam Hussein Tapes and Osama bin Ladin Diaries: A Presentation by the Conflict Records Research Center, Institute of National Strategic Studies, Washington, D.C. Fri 16 Nov, 11am- Noon, Norlin Commons E113. Sponsored by Archives and Special Collections.
Lorry M. Fenner, Director of the Conflict Records Research Center (CRRC) at the Institute of National Strategic Studies in Washington, D.C., will discuss the history, current operations, and research of the CRRC, a digital archive consisting of digital copies of captured Saddam Hussein-era, al Qaeda, and Taliban records from the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and how scholars can access the documents. The original documents were captured by U.S. mobile collection and exploitation teams for intelligence exploitation. To date, the center has available for researchers 38,000 pages of translated text and 150 hours of audio (including portions of Saddam Hussein's taped leadership meetings). Dr. Fenner will be joined by Christopher Alkhoury, Research Analyst and specialist on the Saddam Hussein Collection (and Arabic capable) and Stephanie Glass, Research Analyst/Digital Archivist.
University Libraries Archives has the digital database to the 1991 Anfal genocide collection, documents seized by Kurdish dissident forces in March 1991 immediately following the First Gulf War and transferred by the U.S. military to American soil for safe storage, intelligence exploitation, and use in a possible genocide case: bit.ly/VGl9dF. The CRRC holds digital copies of captured documents during the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan: bit.ly/TdRCrA.

The song from the movie Mary Poppins says, "A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, in a most delightful way."
Well, Mary was right. It does.
A spoonful of sugar makes a lot of things go down delightfully and I'm finding that out more and more every day.
Seeing how I'm diabetic, I have had to cut out my sugar, and I've had a really hard time doing this. I've long maintained that if you can't drink sweet tea there's no point in drinking iced tea. Unsweetened iced tea tastes like sink water and those who drink it and say it tastes great, you are only fooling yourselves.
It's awful.
I tried to choke it down. I couldn't.
The same goes for black coffee and skim milk. I don't care what flavor they make it taste like, if unsweetened iced tea tastes like sink water than black coffee tastes like bath water. It's beyond awful.
Sure, I can go the artificial sweetener route, but those do more harm to your brain than the sugar does to the rest of your body. I tried the artificial sweeteners and was told they would rot my brain and my brain's rotted enough.
As for skim milk, why even drink milk if you have to drink that stuff? I can do one-percent milk, though I usually buy two-percent. But I draw the line at skim milk.
My son said if you gradually cut down from whole milk to skim you'll get used to it – there's that phrase again, get used to it. I don't want to get used to skim milk, or black coffee, or unsweet tea.
My son said after you get used to skim milk that drinking whole milk is like drinking paint. If so, that's the best tasting paint I've ever had.
I have to take this whole dieting thing – especially the sugar-free part of it – seriously. That means no more sugar in my coffee, no more sweet-tea, no more French fries, no more Thousand Island salad dressing, and tragically, no more Zax sauce.
In an effort to be dietary, last night I decided on five chicken fingers for dinner. No fries. No Texas toast. No slaw. Just the chicken fingers and a tub of Zax sauce, which I'd have to be happy with, because technically that's on my list, too.
I dipped sparingly of the five fingers. I needed to behave. As I get older my body will be less and less forgiving than it is right now, and right now it's not very forgiving.
When I finished my chicken fingers I noticed I still had half my Zax sauce remaining. What to do, what to do?
Well, not to go all big league on you with another cliché, but "Waste not, want not."
I "faced" the little container of Zax sauce, which means when you face something you do your level best to try and cram your face inside the particular object in question.
I lapped up the rest of that sauce like a kitten to cream.
Another saying: "In order to succeed greatly one must be prepared to fail greatly."
Last night I failed greatly on my diet when it came to that tub of Zax sauce.
I can feel the pounds melting away already.

TWO Tuesday's ago I shared your stories, tips, and advice on how to deal with picky eaters. We've discussed Pacifier Problems, Temper Tantrum Troubles, and Picky Eater Problems! Unfortunately, I had to skip last week due to feeling under the weather (I'm so sorry! I felt so bad ALL day!)… Thereafter, I announced the NEXT topic for Talk To Me Tuesday, which we will be discussing today: Poo Poo Potty Problems!
*Want to go back and read previous topics and discover reader driven parenting tips and advice? Feel free to read over the Talk To Me Tuesday Introductory Post if you want to learn more about how this weekly advice 'column' works. You can also read all of the Talk To Me Tuesday posts or browse the entire parenting advice category here at MamaNYC.
Every Tuesday I will be featuring a new segment called Talk To Me Tuesday, which is going to feature YOUR advice, input, stories (horror stories welcome!), and tips. Each week I will post the NEXT weeks topic to discuss and everyone will submit their stories. Come back the following Tuesday and you will find your submission(s) posted here at MamaNYC!
First Thing First!
Let's get down to business and hear YOUR input on last weeks topic!
Last week I asked my readers to submit some of their tips, positive stories, HORROR stories, and advice on how to deal with poopy potty training. My son is YET to go #2 on the potty, so I am really eager to get things rolling for him. #1 is NO problem. He could perfect his timing, but we're making some progress. However, I haven't been able to get him at all interested in poopy training. HELP!
This weeks topic request comes from Janet over at Going Crazy!! Wanna Go??!!. Apparently, I am dealing with the very same issue as Janet: Poopy Potty Training Problems!
Both of us have little boys, so Janet asked to discuss training #2 for boys. However, I opened up the submissions to parents of boys and girls – any poopy training story was fine by me! (Eek…)
Here is what Janet asked and requested from Talk To Me Tuesday participants:
"My 4 year old boy purposely holds it in and gets constipated and then he doesn't want to sit on the potty to get it out. It can't be because it hurts because he will stand in the corner and poop in his pants with no problem. He has pooped in the potty a few times and is always proud and excited and everyone praises him and his teachers give him prizes and he is very happy, but then the next time…nothing."
Well, Janet… Sadly I am in the very same predicament and facing the same issue with my own son. My little boy is YET to go #2 on the potty. He refuses to poop in the potty and he holds it in until he is keeled over in pain and crying. A recent trip to the food store (without a diaper…) ended terribly as my son went into overdrive tantrum mode since he was in pain and refuses to use the potty. HELP! Everyone tells me to just give it time, but he starts a 3-year-old preschool program in September. Time flies, which makes me very nervous. I don't want to turn around and notice it is Labor Day – my son won't be allowed into school!
Let's see what you all had to say!
Gena over at Life With Captain Fussybuckets offers some GREAT advice for parents dealing with pooping problems. I love all of her tips and I am absolutely going to give them a whirl. Here's to hoping my son provides some GOOD results (and fast!): When my son first started potty training, he would do the SAME thing as Janet's son…hold his poop, get constipated, be miserable, poop in a diaper. What we did probably won't work for everyone, but it did work for him. First, he loves prunes, so we let him have 2-3 a day. I realize that is probably pretty weird, but if your child doesn't like prunes, you can give them a children's laxative. It helps when they feel like they CAN'T hold it any longer. Don't give them the option of a Pull-Up or diaper and remember that bribing IS okay! 🙂 We bribed my son with candy, coins, AND special time with Mommy & Daddy. I also had to hold him in a hug on the potty to help him feel safe when he was pooping. All of this combined really got him to realizing that pooping on the potty wasn't scary and after about three times, he was a pro.I do think it's important to mention that all kids are different, so if these suggestions don't work or you've already tried them, maybe someone else has better suggestions! Good luck!
Jen over at Life With Levi heard about a great method that sounds intriguing. I am willing to try ANYTHING – and this sounds simple enough! I haven't tried this yet, but my friends swear by the "model and wave" method. Let your child watch you go #2, then let them flush the toilet and wave bye bye to the poop. Sounds gross, but it's supposed to help them put a visual to the actions we're trying to get them to go through with their own bodily functions.
TALK TO ME: Tuesday, April 10, 2012
We've discussed Pacifier Problems, Temper Tantrum Troubles, Picky Eater Problems, and Poopy Potty Training Problems! Next weeks topic is a topic is going to deal with SIBLING RIVALRY!
We just started trying for baby #2. I have all of that pregnancy, newborn, and infant "stuff" down (I think), but how can I do that x2 and handle the fights between TWO children? I think about doubling the cost of raising children; feeding two children at once; waking up every 3 hours and still remaining fresh and ready for my first born; holding an infant while chasing a toddler.
It wasn't until recent that I started picturing my life after the bottles and diapers. What will it be like when the two kids start to throw fists? swing their arms? yell and bite one another? Oh no! Am I paranoid? Is this really how it will be?! Either way, I am ready for the fun and know it will be a blessing to have two children. We have an amazing little boy already, so I can only imagine how great things will (or won't) be with another addition to our family!
When did sibling rivalry start for your children? Is one of your children the worst offender when it comes to picking and starting fights? (Oldest? Youngest?) Do you worry about adding onto your family because of this reason? Tell me your stories, advice, and tips!
Tell me your tips, stories, and advice on how to deal with SIBLING RIVALRY.. and remember that the amount of anonymity or details revealed is in your hands. Are you currently going through the same issue(s)? Have a story of FAILURE or success? Share your advice and tips. Remember that there is NO such thing as silly advice or knowledge. Everyone's advice is welcome and I cannot wait to gather your stories into one giant heaping post filled with advice!
Please use the form below to submit your advice, tips, or stories. Remember that you can remain anonymous if you choose! All of the fields are options on the form.
Just a few things you should know…
- ANONYMITY IS NOT A PROBLEM! You decide what we know about who you are. Choose a pen name or submit your real name. Your tips are what we want to hear – and I don't want anyone to feel ashamed or scared to broadcast their parenting stories.
- Parenting advice is FREE, but sometimes it is hard to come by GREAT advice.. which is why Talk To Me Tuesday is hopefully going to grow into something more than advice. Let's share stories. I want to hear how you have conquered your biggest parenting fears. Tell us how to overcome those parenting obstacles that scare the bejeezus out of other parents. I have a 2 1/2 year old son, so I want to know what to expect when my son turns 3 in April (I promise to act surprised!).
- EMAIL ADDRESS: I will NOT be including email addresses for any reason. This will be used for internal purposes only. I will also be sending out an email reminder next Monday so that you can remember to check out your submission! (Optional)
- BLOGGERS: I would love to include your blog name, URL, and button if you would like! All blogger buttons will be included on the bottom of the post, but I can include your blog name with URL link alongside your submission. Also – have you recently talked about temper tantrum tips or shared a story on YOUR blog? Include the direct URL and I will link to your post! (Note: This is only available to bloggers that submit a story or tip. I would love to hear about your temper tantrum stories, but I will not link to your post unless a submission for Talk To Me Tuesday is included!)
Do you have a specific topic or question that you would love to see readers discuss in a future Talk To Me Tuesday? I would love to hear your ideas, or use YOUR questions as a platform in future discussions. Please fill out the topic submission form and I will hopefully use your idea in a future Talk To Me Tuesday in the very near future! Leave your email address so that I can let you know, but keep in mind that you can also remain anonymous. If you decide to share your name/email address/blog name and URL, remember that the level of anonymity is up to YOU. I will share as much (or as little) as you want!
See You Next Week!

Sorry to hear your experience. I don't think I've ever eaten there.
Do you need an alternative?
Kalyvia is fantastic on The Danforth. I've lived in the Leslieville and Riverdale area for over 25 years and eat there often. Their greek dressing and tzatziki is unlike any other I've tried - delectable :-)
Haven't you heard, there's a recession on in Greece :-)
Heh yep. I know another local "retailer" who is trying to fix the Greek situation through "self-decision'd tips".

Art and Art History 198. Experimental Courses
Introduction to Renaissance Italian Art
This introductory course is meant to give students a survey of the arts in the Italian peninsula from the 13th century to the 18th century. The class will present a variety of works in diverse media made during what is commonly called the Renaissance. We will explore architecture, paintings, and sculptures by analyzing the historical, social, and cultural contexts in which they were produced. At the end of the course, students will be able to discuss early modern Italian art and to understand the particular concepts that drove artistic productions. Students will also learn the foundations of art historical methods and vocabulary; they will deploy these tools to analyze the works examined in class. Though the course is structured around lectures, students are strongly encouraged to bring their own comments and questions to class. No previous knowledge of art history is required.
Modern Architecture
In this introductory survey, we will study the evolution of Western architecture from the period of the Enlightenment to the twenty-first century. Examining the technological, political and social contexts of selected movements, we will consider the ways the built environment has reflected modern society's greatest aspirations as well as its deepest anxieties.

Optimal strategies for successful business operations
A company can achieve a competitive edge by various means, e.g., by manufacturing products more cheaply than competitors, by offering unique products or services, or by concentrating on small market niches. Logistics supports each of these business strategies in its own way. Such logistics concepts as "mass customization" or "postponement" even allow cost leadership and differentiation strategies to be achieved simultaneously
Business strategies determine the products with which and the markets in which a company intends to achieve competitive advantages. Porter has identified three promising types of generic competitive strategies that enable companies to outperform their sectoral competitors [1]:
- Comprehensive cost leadership,
- Sector-wide differentiation and
- Concentration on focal areas such as market niches.
The third strategy can also be interpreted as an application of the first two strategies with a focus on one particular market segment.
Comprehensive cost leadership
The strategy of comprehensive cost leadership in a sector requires the rigorous exploitation of the experience curve effect Experience curve effect to reduce unit costs. This requires an aggressive build-up of capacities and strict cost control [2].
The job of logistics systems is to handle large volumes of goods in geographically spread-out markets at the lowest possible cost. A company that pursues a strategy of cost leadership must rely on logistics process capacities that allow for simple and far-sighted logistics systems. This includes technological capacities for implementing flows of material, the capacity to simplify procedures and the capacity to anticipate necessary processes [3].
In this strategy, profits are earned by selling large quantities of items at low prices. The lower unit costs mean that these margins can still be achieved when competitors are no longer profitable due to lower experience curve effects Experience curve effect [4].
Sector-wide differentiation
The differentiation strategy strives to lend a special status to a product from the customer's perspective, enabling it to be perceived as unique throughout the sector. The differentiation can result from a special brand image, the product's quality or special product-related services. This also includes a high-level delivery service Delivery service .
Customer-oriented capacities such as rigorous market segmentation, accessibility and a high level of flexibility have a positive impact on a company's success. Differentiation shields the company from its competitors and creates a customer relationship with the product. Because customers are prepared to pay higher prices for the image, the quality and/or the additional services, profits generated by this strategy result from higher margins, not high sales volumes [4].
Concentration on focal areas
The strategy of concentrating on focal areas such as market niches requires the company's focus to be placed on a particular customer group, a regional market or a small range of products within a sector. The competitive edge results from the adjustment to the specific requirements of a market segment as well as from cost advantages in this market segment. The differentiation takes place largely on the individual customer level as the company constantly offers new services and responds as flexibly as possible to specific customer needs.
In contrast to the cost leadership strategy, the cost advantages are not based on the experience curve effect Experience curve effect - which is related to large sales volumes. Rather, certain costs are never incurred at all - e.g., warehousing costs for delivery warehouses when a regional market is supplied directly from the plant. The concentration on market niches can result in simpler logistics systems as well. But it can also require special adjustments in the logistics systems to meet the service requirements of a specific market segment [4].
Cost leadership plus differentiation
In logistics, it is also possible to pursue hybrid strategies - that is, strategies that aim for cost leadership and differentiation at the same time. One case in point is the mass-customization concept Mass customization . Here, large unit numbers of standardized product components or modules are initially produced. End production, which churns out a multitude of product versions, follows only at the end of the value-creation process.
Here is an example: Large numbers of white T-shirts are pre-produced in China and imported to Europe. But the T-shirts are not dyed until they reach their final destination. This postponement Postponement concept, in which product customization is put off, generates economies of scale and synergy effects in production of standardized modules. This can result in both a high level of added value for the customer thanks to variety or differentiation and in cost leadership [4].

Too much fruit is a possibility, as is the cheese. It doesn't matter if it's good organic stuff - it's still dairy and a LOT of people have a hard time losing weight when it's a regular part of their diet(no matter how little, every day is a regular/staple in your diet). Whey protein is not like muscle meat protein, it acts like a sugar, because it's not in it's natural form. It's absorbed too quickly by the body(unnatural) and may be having a negative effect on you.
Cut down the fruit to 1-2 servings and the cheese to maybe 2x a week and try that for 2 - 4 weeks. See if there's a speed up in your weight loss.

Cowpens National Battlefield includes 842.5 acres of land which hosts a wide variety of plant and animal life. Its unique ecosystems and diverse habitats were crucial in the planning and success of the Battle of Cowpens.
Animal life is plentiful at the park. A daytime hike might provide a glimpse of white-tail deer or a multitude of birds, and frogs along the streams throughout the park. As dusk falls, opossums, raccoons, and other nocturnal creatures emerge and begin their search for food.
The park provides many specialized habitats for threatened plants and is home to rare ecosystems. There are 542 species of plants at the park, many of which are very unique to the area. However, at least 28% of the plants at Cowpens are not native, and natural environments are being threatened by invasive species.
In order to combat the spread of invasive plants, the park is coordinating with Palmetto Conservation Foundation to remove the more aggressive invaders.

Easy, relaxing and unrushed. Perfect if you and #39;re travelling with children or elderly. I went alone and still enjoyed it since I didn and #39;t expect it to be action-packed. Moonlit Sanctuary is smaller than many other bigger places to see animals, but good enough. Penguins are cute and worth seeing.

that sounds real cheap for that. I don't know anything about them but the price is way low.
February 24, 2011, 11:53 AM
I have bought them for that, you should buy it. The value of the carbines is based on who made them but any in working order is worth 300. They are a pretty sorry caliber but for 300 you can make a little money or keep it. Everybody needs one.
February 24, 2011, 01:34 PM
He said ge but i know theyre a couple differenbt divisions. He also said its a paratrooper. Is there any way to change it to 308? Im waitibg for him to get off work to check it out
February 24, 2011, 01:54 PM
I don't think anybody would sell a genuine paratrooper m1 for $300. The folding stock alone if original is worth $300 by itself. Be wary b
February 24, 2011, 02:00 PM
I'm not an expert on the m1 carbines, but I'd say its definitely something that you don't want to put into .308. I've heard the .30 Carbine ammo is more of a really hot pistol round than a real rifle round. Then you've got clearance issues with the action cycling a .308. IIRC, the rounds are different lengths and the .30 Carbine is a straight wall case.
Price does seem a bit low, but you never know why that might be. Maybe he just hasn't done any research on its value and is just pulling a number out of thin air. Or it could be a Katrina gun. Just be sure to check it out and make sure the internals look ok.
February 24, 2011, 02:16 PM
He said ge but i know theyre a couple differenbt divisions. It wasn't produced by GE, but probably by GM.
He also said its a paratrooper.Paratrooper stocks are cool, and even a reproduction stock is worth a couple of hundred bucks.
Is there any way to change it to 308?An M1 Carbine is chambered in the .30 Carbine round. It is .308" diameter, but there are NO other similarities. Not even in the same basic ballpark. A .30 Carbine is roughly equivalent to a .357 Magnum. Trying to make the gun even fit, let alone handle the energy and pressures of, a .308 Win. would be ... well, lets just say, when you get the rifle in your hands you will probably laugh at yourself for asking the question. :)
February 24, 2011, 02:29 PM
ge did build m1 carbines (general electric). it was probably made a paratrooper, if it looks like it is in good shape its worth 300 anyway regardles of manufacture, ge or inland
February 24, 2011, 02:43 PM
I've never heard of any M1 Carbines made by General Electric, and none of sites dedicated to those rifles list GE as a manufacturer.
The usual list is:
Inland Division, General Motors
Winchester Repeating Arms
Saginaw Steering Gear Division General Motors
Underwood Elliot Fisher
National Postal Meter
Quality Hardware Manufacturing Corp.
International Business Machines
Standard Products
Rock-Ola Manufacturing Corporation
Commercial Controls Corporation
So, if you've seen a "GE" made gun, it must be pretty rare!
Jim K
February 24, 2011, 02:43 PM
Nope, General Electric never made carbines. The Inland division of General Motors did, but GM itself didn't.
$300 would be a good price for any WWII GI carbine, especially an M1A1 (folding stock) but I wouldn't give that for some of the copies made post-war.
February 24, 2011, 02:59 PM
I didnt say Id seen one but ive never seen a Rockola either. I had a book dedicated to the M1 carbines that listed ge maybe they just made parts or recievers like singer or something. I could be wrong but either way any working carbine is well worth 300
February 24, 2011, 03:03 PM
While were on the subject I never understood why anyone would pay double or triple for one with mixed parts simply because it says rock-ola. If all the parts match I get it, but most have been rebuilt multiple times. The only place my winchester says that or has a W is on the reciever.
February 24, 2011, 05:21 PM
Ill check it out and if i decide to ill post some pics tomorrow. Thanks for all the feedback guys
February 24, 2011, 07:48 PM
".308"? Can't be done since there isn't enough material to rechamber for the more powerful round.
"Commercial Controls Corporation"? That's a GI M1 carbine manufacturer I wasn't aware of.
All GI carbines were made during WWII.
February 24, 2011, 08:35 PM
Well i got it its an inland sn 5285510. Ill get some pics on the barrel its stamped 4-44? Whats tge date? Is it a 44?
February 24, 2011, 11:47 PM
The barrel is 1944 and the serial number resolves to 1944 as well. If the barrel is marked Inland then you have an "Inland/Inland" which is a little more coveted.http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__lfEllzo3Ck/Rsd5rRBh1EI/AAAAAAAAAs0/u_8pudFcTmM/s200/HPIM2219.JPG

National Postal Meter changed their name to Commercial Controls Corporation only a few days before the end of their carbine production. Reportedly only 239 receivers were actually marked "Commercial Controls" so they would be very rare.
