25 reviews | 4.1 out of 5
Terrible product - do not buy. Not too hard to assemble, but it does not fits together tight. The hitch connection and the quick realse are so loose and sloppy. There is no way to tighten it up. Even without bikes on it, it shakes and sways from side to side. With bikes on it, it sways making the bikes bang into the car.
The online picture appears to show that the arms will fold down, so you can leave the rack on when the bikes are off. This is incorrect. If you zoom in on the picture you will see that the upper angle is held with two a solid bolts (the only solid connection on this rack.) This rack folds downward from the bottom angle, which would allow you to open the tailgate.
They could have charged 2x the price and it still would have been a good deal.
This rack is built strong & smart too.
We picked this up to carry 4 bikes and it works great. Very easy to put together and fit right in our hitch with no problem. Would highly recommend this.
I read several reviews before deciding to purchase this bicycle rack. It is everything that the good reviews stated. It is secure and stable as long as the mounting bolt is tightened. I decided to go with the four bike rack even though I thought I would rarely put more that two on it. Smart choice as I have had to put four bikes on it already.
It's almost like people are reviewing two different racks. I found the rack well designed and surprisingly well built. I bought this to replace my usual rack (2 bike) when friends ride with us. I expected it to be marginal but it's quality was very good (I usually buy Thule). It didn't wobble and was easy to assemble EXCEPT I have a 1 1/4" receiver on my hitch and couldn't unbolt the 2" shim. It appears that the lock bolts had been over tightened at the factory and were stripped. I finally ground the nuts off and was on my way.
The bike rack works fine. The issue I had was removing the factory-installed shims in order to use it with my class 1 hitch. The rack is shipped with the shims installed. A 10mm socket is required (not supplied) to remove the 2 nuts attaching the shims. Normally this would not be a major issue except the nuts were over-torqued at the factory, stripping the carriage bolts. The only way to remove without drilling them out is to pry between the shims, forcing them apart while using the 10mm socket on a ratchet. This process took about 45 minutes but finally worked. I will have to replace the carriage bolts and nuts if I want to reinstall the shims to use the rack with a 2" receiver.
We bought this rack as a means of transporting long distances during moves and for leisure. When it was purchased my husband wasn't home to help me learn how to use it. I was easially able to assemble it without him. There are a few common tools needed to assemble it correctly, but it is just a few different sized wrenches or sockets. I was also able to easially mount it on my 1 1/4 in reciever WITHOUT drilling any holes into my reciever. I did have some difficulty getting 4 bikes to fit but with a little work was able to do so. It is a snug fit for 4 bikes.
I went to Walmart to check what they had in stock before ordering. Originally eyeing the Allen hitch bike rack but after looking at packaging between the products, I chose the Bell- also the well known name. In summary:
Pro's- Easy to assemble looking at the instructions -3 bolts w/ tools provided.
The bolted hitch/pin is great- absolutely no wobble- must be bolted from the passenger side.
Sturdy w/ 3 bikes.
Easy to place and secure bikes on rails.
Con's- Quick release pin was tight but hit it to get in- after that, it worked well. Probably a sliver- better to be tight than lose.
Could be tight for 4 bikes.
Surprised how fast to throw the bikes on, Velcro secure and leave. Look forward to more trips with the bikes.
This is my first bike rack. Holds 4 bikes and got it online at a great price. It seems pretty sturdy and it drops down so I can open the hatchback of the Suburban. It wobbles in the 2" tow hitch more than I'd think it should, but not enough to where it's a problem. I'm pretty happy with it so far after using it a couple of times now.
This is an awesome bike rack I bought this for when i go camping and just for me and my family to take our bikes out somewhere for the day, It fit right into my hitch no problems what so ever I recommend this bike rack, this bike rack fits on all three vehicles with different brand name hitchs perfect. And NO DRILLING was required.
I purchased this as a gift for my son and he advised me that it was good and he liked it.
I was looking for a multi bike rack for my wife's Mazda 5. The Mazda 5 is not a real heavyweight and previous bike racks hung way off the back really loading the rear end. It wasn't until I saw one of these racks on another car that I knew I wanted that rack. Price is reasonable it tucks close to the car and folds back if you want to open the rear hatch. It is a pain but the option is there. What sold me was the bike support also folds down out of the way if you have no bikes. Hauled up to 4 bikes and it works great.
I bought this product to haul our bikes on a camping trip and like the fact that it said easy to use and little assembly required. What a joke. I don't know what type of reese hitch it was made for but it doesn't fit a standard hitch. We were counting on using it but first we had to redrill the hole to make it fit. If you don't have a drill press and aren't handy to make this fit tight do not buy this product. I am very disappointed and will not by any other bell products.
I didn't realize that only Velcro holds the bike in place. I guess I can take the blame for not doing more research, but it does the job. I'm just worried about longevity.
Rack is secure in hitch and goes on quickly .
Works we'll with 3 Bikes - tight fit for 4.
Assembly was pretty easy with one of my sons helping me hold parts as I fit them together. All required tools were included. Installation on my SUV was simple. The fit is decent but not snug. There is a little bit of wiggle but everything is strong and well secured so it's not going anywhere. Getting bikes on and off of the rack is quite easy. The upper rack swings down when not in use which is nice. The bottom portion is hinged so as to allow access to the lift gate, if needed. Typically I just use the window in the back to access things in the rear of the truck so I haven't actually had to utilize that feature yet. Overall, it is serving its purpose well.
Have been going on bike trips since I purchase this product. Really sturdy and convenient. Fits three kids bike but will add adult bike in the spring time. Very satisfied with such affordable product.
I purchased this 4 bike rack for our 4 bikes and it only fits 3 bikes. As a family of 4 bike riders this is a problem!!! Someone doesn't get to take their bike :(
Well built bike rack for the money. Fits my four mountain bikes easily also.
Great bike rack for four! We bought it in a hurry before vacation. Wanted to find out more about other styles, as we knew there were many brands and styles to choose from. But we were VERY happy with it overall. Setup was quick and easy (even for first time use). The quality and durability of the rack were just what we were hoping for. And the price was right!

FORCED SHOWDOWN released!
Greetings Humans, My show is now available on Steam, GOG and Humble Store. May you die gloriously and to great applause!
Twitch event and rewards
The amazing community at Twitch watched over 110,000 hours in the pre-release week, bringing a 12% launch discount and unlocking the following rewards:
- Splendid wallpaper pack
- Fiery Xiao Long skin
- Dark Squire of Light skin
- C-SAR's SHOWDOWN Facts Episode 1
- A community card will be made live on Twitch and added to the game. (Event happens Thursday April 7th - exact time to be announced at www.forcedshowdown.com/watch)
These awards are now available for free to everyone who signed up at www.forcedshowdown.com/watch. I will set it up shortly so new players who sign up also receive the rewards.
Next chapter of my developers' journey
Read the struggles of my developers as they were making my great show: http://imgur.com/gallery/4fsfR
The game continues leveling!
I enjoyed seeing how well the Twitch integration was received by the community: Though the launch discount is settled, I will continue letting the game level up at www.forcedshowdown.com/watch and unlock more free content for the game.
The Twitch letter events in particular were successful beyond all expectations, and I had a blast watching your favorite streamers suffer unnecessary, yet spectacular, deaths in vain attempts to serve their cruel audience. These events have been made a permanent feature of the show! I have made the events more rare, made them give out full keys to the game (I'm sure my developers don't mind...) and will look into future options for creating unique content to be earned in this way.
Human language cannot express how proud I am to have made something that destroys Human love more spectacularly than Monopoly, and with more blood spatters besides.
Be a part of the community
My development slaves have silly ideas that I may finally give them a break now - be sure to stop by my forums and give your suggestions for how I can have them improve the show further.
Also a shout-out to the volunteer C-SAR slaves of Wikia, who have started a wiki for my show and begun describing the many facets of its glory. Any Human who joins in this effort shall earn my momentary gratitude be considered an honorary C-SAR slave.
Yours truly!

FTTH - fiber-to-the-home
Short for fiber-to-the-home, the installation of optical fiber from a telephone switch directly into the subscriber��s home. Fiber optic cable is an alternative to coaxial cable.
FTTH is also referred to as fiber-to-the-building(FTTB), which includes optical fiber that is installed directly into a home or enterprise.
Compare with FTTC.
A disadvantage of FTTH, as opposed to FTTC, is that power cannot be supplied to a home along with the signal on the fiber optic lines.

WESTHAMPTON BEACH - Hillary Clinton was in Westhampton Beach Sunday to meet with supporters and sign copies of her new book.
People lined up to meet the former secretary of state at Books & Books on Main Street.
Clinton's book, "Hard Choices," recounts the four years she spent as the head of the State Department under President Barack Obama's administration.
Some speculate the book tour is the former first lady's way of laying down the foundation for a possible 2016 run.

Models: Connor Levi, Daniel Prince and Jaxon Radoc
Studio: Staxus
When the cat's away the mice will always play, so it really comes as no surprise when Jaxon, Connor and Daniel take full advantage of their teacher's unexpected absence in the classroom. In all fairness to Prince, who dutifully sits at his desk, it's Radoc and Levi who prove the main troublemakers — most notably Aussie-boy, Radoc, who sees this as the perfect opportunity to expose his thick, uncut, antipodean cock to all and sundry.
But there's little sign of any resistance once that said ramrod is on display, and before you know it Prince is eagerly gobbling away on the offering like any other cheap whore. A role that the youngster quickly cements once every last vestige of uniform is finally abandoned and he's being masterfully spit-roasted by his mates — Levi slamming him up the rear and Radoc thrusting down his throat! No question about it, this fresh-faced, bright-eyed youngster is then cajoled into a series of ass-splitting positions like a fuck-doll, his mates giving him the stretching of a lifetime in the process.
No fuckin' wonder that he's soon knocking out a healthy load of twink-jizz in appreciation; before Radoc and Levi stand over him on the desk, aim their engorged dicks in his direction and proceed to empty their balls over his face! A sight that we know for sure is gonna blast your rocket sky high!

Treemaps aren't new – they've been around for a few decades, and yet they remain a powerful and compact way to visualize hierarchical and part-to-whole relationships. Tableau 8.0 has them, too.
What isn't so common, however, is a way to create multiple interactive treemaps and easily arrange them into a bar chart for comparative purposes. Say hello to treemaps in Tableau 8.0!
But why not just embed everything into one treemap? Why put separate treemaps side-by-side in a bar chart? Let's consider the following example of cash and debt carried by the Top 50 US Companies by market cap:
Now, of course, cash and debt are two very different things. Furthermore, they don't sum up to anything particularly meaningful in this context because companies have other line items on the balance sheet such as inventory and assets. Comparing the overall amount of cash and the overall amount of debt is interesting, though. And what more accurate way to compare two values than to use a bar chart?
This way of visualizing the data allows the following questions to be answered with accuracy and speed:
- Do the top companies put together have more cash or more debt? By how much?
- Of the top companies, which industries have the lion's share of the cash (and separately, the debt?)
- Within each industry, what are the top cash (and debt) holding companies?
It's slightly more difficult to examine one particular company – whether it has more cash or more debt – because the rectangles are embedded in separate treemaps and have different lengths AND widths. A tornado chart similar to the original version of this visualization would facilitate a single company comparison, so for this reason the overlapping data table appears when a company box is selected.
One could add 2 dimensions over color shelf and design stunning treemaps visualizations.
For a demo check out this movie http://www.freakalytics.com/tag/tableau-tips/
just below Treemaps and packed bubble charts section.
Very cool. Making the company table a simple bar chart would be a slight improvement, as it would allow you to visually compare the two measures, which would nicely align with the overall intent of this viz.

oakley nose pads ot 'swagger'!! Well, they're lightweight, a lovely sky blue colour frame and very dark lenses. His only complaint was that they didn't come with a case, but for the price, they're excellent. Just waiting for the sun to emerge to properly try them out! Fantastic value for money. I did not expect a lot for the price and was going to get a more expensive pair when the weather im Birmingham bes6t buy ralph lauren hoody y. Also polarized. The most I have ever spent for sunglasses but I tend to have them for a long time and didn't want something that was too trendy. These are the first over-glasses I have bought that actually work. They are comfortable, light and very effective. They aren't obtrusive, either, so you don't look like a complete tit when wearing them. Bought on behalf of a friend, but both my husband and I have these. Very good over glasses and can also been worn as ordinary sunglasses. Not to bunky like some overglasses. Fits well over regular specs. CuAuckland ray ban 3392 best irons .
iving as they are very light lenses. Glasses themselves very flimsy and have needed to be tightened up as screws keep coming loose. I did wonder if they were copies actually but they will do as long as I treat them carefully.
They don't work as sunglasses. They are far too clear for any sun protection. The ralph lauren y a draw-string cloth case) but you can't have it all!
Love them! Comfy, look good, exactly what I wanted! Just took a little longer to come through than I hoped but came through in good packaging and perfect condition.
They're ok but i haven't recevied the ones showed in the photo but a simpler design. A bit dissapointed as I quyite liked the arm design. Well, I guess they're ok for the price but should have the correct description / photos in the add as well.
brown leopard print glasses, ver ray ban glasses online y're as good as some glasses I'd been looking at from Topshop; they're lightweight, and stylish. The gold and brown colouring I LOVE! Very retro. One downside is they're quite large, and I'm quite petite, but that hasn't put me off!
Polarised lenses can be tested by using a known polarising lens (from another, known, pair of Polaroids), Put one lens in front of the other and look through both lenses at the same time, Rotate one lens relative to the other around an axis perpendicular to both lenses, and you should see your view through the lense.

RegistrationOnline programmeFlyerWorkshops Joining instructions
Places are now limited and to prevent over booking we are restricting registrations, please contact us to request registration details and to book a place at the conference. Places have been reserved for presenters.
Closing date for online registration is 9th October 2016. Early bird rates have now ended.
Abstract submission for EUSPR 2016 has now closed and decisions have been announced. If you have not received an email regarding your abstract submission please contact us.
The 2016 EUSPR conference will be held in Berlin, Germany from October 31st – November 2nd 2016. The main theme is "Sustainable Prevention in a Changing World" and this year's conference will include keynotes on developing and understanding sustainable prevention systems, prevention responses to the health and social needs of populations in transition, and rapidly emerging health challenges.
EUSPR will hold four pre-conference workshops on 30th October 2016. Please see the link at the top of the page for details.
Registration for the conference is now open (see the link at the top of the page). 15 bursaries of €200 have been allocated to Early Career participants to assist in covering conference and pre-conference workshop expenses. Deadline for applications was 28th August 2016.
Please see the following links for details of the travel instructions (including booking reserved hotels), awards to be presented at the conference, social events, and Early Career events.
Travel & HotelsAwardsSocial eventsEarly Career events
We have assembled an exciting programme of plenary speakers who will be addressing:
- Developing evidence-based guidance on prevention for migrant populations in the EU
- Sustainable prevention systems as a response to population change
- What is the place and value of prevention in today's society?
- The dark logic of prevention – harmful consequences of public health interventions
Populations and behaviour in Europe are in transition, and new challenges to health and well being are emerging. This has led to an increased focus on changing needs, and how sustainable prevention systems and structures can be developed in order to offer evidence based and rapid prevention responses to these issues. For example, current international events mean that many people have left areas of conflict, and the consequences of poor infrastructure and the breakdown of family and other social structures. Populations are changing in other ways; the EU has an ageing population and low birth rate, and treaties have encouraged mobility (of young people) across borders in search of work and education opportunities. Mobile populations may already be experiencing poor health and well being, and may not be optimally served by the prevention systems of their host country, thus reinforcing inequalities and poorer outcomes.
At our 2016 conference we will explore some of these issues, and ask other questions such as how can prevention scientists make meaningful contributions to policy and practice responses in a rapidly changing world? How do we begin to assess and address changing needs, when in many countries prevention systems are already poorly defined and are orientated to stable and historic health and social needs? What are the consequences for host communities with regards to health resources and the opportunity costs of supporting change? Are our existing prevention programmes and interventions effective in diverse populations? How do we develop prevention responses for rapidly arriving, and departing populations? How might changes in prevention delivery systems and technological innovations lead to better outcomes?
We will also have a special session discussing the way forward for prevention science. Panel members will be asked to explore the future of prevention science and ask questions about the 'politics' of prevention, the meaning of participant autonomy in contested policy and intervention areas, and how prevention scientists negotiate changing societal attitudes to health and social behaviours.
Abstract submission for EUSPR 2016 has now closed.
We welcomed and prioritised submissions on the main conference theme, but as always, also abstracts on all prevention science related topics. We also encouraged presentations that focussed on improving the use of evidence in policy and practice and welcome delegates from outside of academia who have an interest in prevention science. Dedicated parallel sessions will be held to provide PhD students and Early Career delegates opportunities to present their work in a supportive environment.
The main conference will be held in the centre of Berlin, near the Brandenburg Gate, at the Representation of Lower Saxony at the Federal Government in Berlin (Vertretung des Landes Niedersachsen beim Bund). In den Ministergärten 10, 10117 Berlin. Map. Please see the venue's website for further details.
Additional meetings will take place in the Heilige Elisabeth von Marburg Saal room in the first floor of the Hessische Landesvertretung. In den Ministergärten 5, 10117, Berlin. Map. The Hessische Landesvertretung is across the road from the main conference venue.
The pre-conference workshops will be held on 30 October 2016 in two separate venues:
- Jugendgästehaus Hauptbahnhof (Workshop 1). Lehrter Straße 68, 10557 Berlin. Map, Website
- Hotel Albrechtshof, Albrechtstr (Workshops 2, 3 and 4). 8, Mitte, 10117 Berlin, Germany. Map; Website
Co-organisers and in collaboration organisations

Adolescence is a time of many changes. As girls grow into young women and become physically and sexually mature, they need additional care from physicians (adolescent medicine physicians and/or obstetricians/gynecologists) trained to address these issues.
This initial visit and yearly visits thereafter are geared towards promoting good health, screening for problems in adolescent girls, and helping open the lines of communication about healthcare between the physician, parents, and the young woman. Adolescents who are sexually active will need additional services, including a pelvic examination and testing for sexually transmitted diseases. Many of the conditions that affect gynecological, reproductive, and sexual health may be detected early, which, in most cases, provides for a more positive prognosis and successful treatment.
There are many gynecological and menstrual conditions that affect adolescent females and require the clinical care of a physician or other healthcare provider. Listed in the directory below are some, for which we have provided a brief overview.

Walking the labyrinth
From Presbyterian Mission Agency—Spiritual Formation
The labyrinth is an ancient tool for prayer and meditation, consisting of a winding path that begins at the periphery and leads to a central space, and then out again by the same path. It differs from a maze in that a labyrinth has no blind alleys or dead ends. It is not meant to trick you but to be a means to a journey on a path, inward and outward bound.

Not a great place to stay. The main campground is A and B. Those sites were very close and didn't look too level. There was a live band playing on stage both days we were there. We stayed in campground S, which is across the lake from A and B. The music was at a comfortable level for us, but we were ACROSS the lake!! Would have been miserable to be stuck on that side. Note - this was not a publicized concert. We had no idea of the band until they fired up on Friday.
We would stay there again, but only on the S side. Also, this park DOES NOT take reservations, so for us we drive 2 hours with no guarantee of what is available when we get there.
Lake bottom is nasty, gooey mud that will stick you up to your knees. The S sites are right on the water, so not a bad place if you are just using the RV as a base camp for boats or jet skis. No picnic tables or shade included with your site, just a grassy parking spot. Our site was fairly level, but many others were so far off that they couldn't even get close to leveling their trailers. We did get rain, and most of the spots got really muddy, but it is lakefront so that's expected. We stayed in a fifth wheel. We would probably stay there again, just due to location, but definitely not high on my list to go back to. - rm0852

This place is a dump and they don't care. It stays pretty full with locals during summer weekends and that is all they care about. They told me that most of the sewer connections don't work (don't know if they know which do and which don't). Lots of parties (rude, loud, drunks) and trashy grounds are about all it has to offer. - kenlea98

This place is horrible. The pictures are clearly Photoshopped. The pull-throughs you share on some, and they are very tight. People are allowed to park wherever they want to, and if that means they want your front yard area, they take it. Trash everywhere, food thrown on ground. I will stay in a motel before I stay in this dump. Avoid it, not worth the money. - chicosmom

Modern park right in town. Check in was quick and very easy to get to our site, which was under a nice shade tree. Site was a pull thru, was level and was super long. Park is right next to a major highway but noise did not bother us. There was a lot of permanent rigs in the park but everyone was nice and quite. All in all, a very nice park at an excellent price. I would stay here again. - CU-RVers

Concrete pads with full hook-ups. Picnic tables provided. Some shaded areas. Close to loop so traffic can be heard, depending upon which area of park you are located. Well maintained. While there is a "quiet time" posted, it was not enforced during our visit. - MamaLyn

So, I made reservations 60 days out. They did not have those upon arrival. There was a softball tourney in town & park was full. Attendant acted as if he was doing me a favor finding a spot.
There are other parks around. Find one of those. I will not stay here again and do not recommend even as a stop-over. - dwade

50 amp did not work properly and it took us over an hour to discover that it was their outlet that was messed up. Could have really caused problems in our RV if we hadn't realized it wasn't our rig that had issues. Gravel road we were told to pull out of was too narrow for our 40 ft rig to navigate causing problems pulling out. We scraped the side of the RV w/ a concrete block "fence" in one space and had to move the timbers in order to get out. The roads are not big rig friendly especially if you are towing. - Texascheetah

Noisy! Park is located across the highway from the airport and at night is on the direct approach path of helicopters. ALL NIGHT helo take offs and landings.
Staff was very friendly, pool was clean, sites were concrete, wide and mostly level, decent playground. There were some shade trees. You get a coupon for WiFi upon check-in that is good for 1 device for 24 hours, after that you can purchase the WiFi. Couldn't connect even after calling the support number. - pokeynpepper

This is a nice spot to stay if visiting Lubbock, TX. The city has grown out around the campground so you are close to everything but it is still quiet in the campground. There are many permanent sites here but they are well kept and no trashy campers. The over night sites are right by the office, pull thru sites with FHU. It looked like there are only a few overnight sites so be sure to call ahead and they will save one for you. AT&T cell and data worked great and Verizon WiFi did too. Ask at the office about WiFi and since you are close to the office they will give you their code to log on and you should be able to get it at your campsite. - jhav

There is no cable or WiFi, but we have our own satellite dish and WiFi hot spot, so we didn't notice too much. The Campground is located near everything and still very quiet. The people are friendly and very helpful. We didn't end up with the site we reserved for some reason, so we have no trees, but everything else is good. - The Mastens

Camelot is a perfect place to stay while in Lubbock. We stayed two weeks this visit. The staff makes everything happen in the office!

We spent one night in a 44-footer with slide-outs and a tow. Richards RV is a small, quiet family-owned RV park a few miles northwest of Lubbock. Most of the residents are long term, but there are two pull-through sites in the front of the park for overnight stays. Both sites are level, partially shaded, easy in/easy out, very spacious and can accommodate any size RV. There is no cable or WiFi, but the rate is reasonable and the location is very convenient if you are traveling along US-84. - Carolynp

Campground sits off four lane highway. Traffic noise is minimal. If you are unfamiliar with the "highway loop" system you may have some difficulty exiting highway system to locate entrance (it is on the service road).

This RV park has worked well for us as an overnight stop during several trips across Texas. Both times we were able to get a long pull-thru space with plenty of room to keep our tow vehicle attached. Staff is friendly, and an escort was provided to our site. WiFi and cable TV worked fine, although the park Internet experienced a typical afternoon/evening slowdown. Twin Pines no longer accepts Passport America. Some sites were provided with a large wooden wire spool in lieu of a table. - The Borgs

We received prompt, friendly service on arrival. Park is no longer AAA participant, but gave discount. Park is very tidy. Dog run is small, but very neat with nice grass surface. Grassy areas are irrigated and neatly trimmed. - jdstevens
Aug 2016 - $30.00
This was our first stay at this park on our way home from Colorado. I cannot say enough kind things about all aspects of the park. It is all gravel with nice, green manicured grass at each site. The perimeter sites appear to be occupied with longer-term campers, but they don't look like the sometimes junky full-timers. They all just looked like regular rvers. The rest of the park consists of pull throughs--plenty long for a 40-foot plus motorhome and toad--and super level. I didn't even have to use my levelers. No trees to speak of in the pull through sites which makes satellite reception a snap. Cable tv is provided. The restrooms consist of two individual rooms, each with its own huge shower, toilet and sink. There is also a second bath house near the office. The young lady who checked us in was super nice and helpful as was the gentleman who guided us to our site. Overall, this is an A+ park for a night or two on a longer trip. I highly recommend it. - golfkitty

Aluminum was a hot commodity during the housing-led economic boom, but its prices collapsed with the financial crisis. While spot prices have risen since the dark days of the recession, those prices are still not as high as aluminum producers would like. According Citibank, aluminum has been experiencing a rise in both production and inventories, but demand has been high enough to keep prices stable.
The above graph shows the aluminum price over the past few years. You can clearly see the pre-financial crisis prices and post-financial crisis prices of aluminum, respectively. It is evident that current aluminum prices are below six-year average prices.
Despite strong projected growth in demand, the industry's short-term profits outlook is still gloomy. The industry still has not fully recovered from the fallout of the financial crisis. At the peak of the commodity's boom, Alcoa (NYSE:AA) attempted to acquire Canadian aluminum producer Alcan in an effort to create the world's largest aluminum producer. However, Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO) outbid Alcoa by paying more than $38.1 billion for the company. But the deal didn't work out for Rio Tinto because of the collapse of aluminum prices. Earlier this year the company wrote off $9 billion of its aluminum assets.
Despite an abundant surplus of aluminum, producers have not taken sufficient measures to balance the aluminum market. The surplus reached 889,000 tons in 2011, 1.5 million tons "MT" in 2012, and is expected to peak at 1.8 Mt in 2013, resulting in a drop in aluminum prices.
About Alcoa
Alcoa is the world's largest producer of aluminum, as well as the world's leading miner of bauxite and refiner of alumina. In addition to inventing the aluminum industry, Alcoa has achieved other key milestones in the aerospace, automotive, packaging, building and construction, commercial transportation, consumer electronics and industrial markets over the past 125 years. Aluminum is infinitely recyclable and approximately 75 percent of all of the aluminum ever produced since 1888 is still in active use today. The company has a workforce of approximately 61,000 people in 30 different countries around the world.
Historic Stock Performance
Click to enlargeThe above chart shows the historic stock price performance of Alcoa compared to its competitors Kaiser Aluminum Corporation (NASDAQ:KALU) and Alumina (AWC), and the Dow Jones U.S. Aluminum index. You can see in the above chart that the company's stock price underperformed its competitors and the industry index with a price depreciation of 3.49 percent over a one-year period. The decrease in the stock price reflects the deceasing price of aluminum over the one-year period.
Financial Performance in recent years
The above graph shows the company's revenue growth and its margins from 2011 to 2012. As you can clearly see, the drop in aluminum prices has squeezed the margins of the company substantially. Revenues dropped 5 percent in 2012 as compared to an increase of 18 percent in 2011. Gross margin, operating margin and net profit margins also dropped significantly due to the negative price effect.
In April 2013, Alcoa reported lower-than-expected first-quarter revenues, and recently the company announced that it will close down two production lines at a plant in Canada, and cut about 500 jobs there because of lower aluminum prices. However, the company has seen strong demand for aluminum, despite the falling prices.
Moody's Downgrades Alcoa ratings
On the basis of lower aluminum prices, Moody's downgraded Alcoa's credit rating to junk status. Moody's stated that although Alcoa has reduced costs and made itself more productive, difficult industry trends and decreased aluminum prices will make it hard for the aluminum smelter and parts-maker to make its credit measurements investment grade in 2013 or 2014. Moody's analyst, Carol Cowan, lowered her rating to "Ba1" from "Baa3.""Ba1" is the highest junk status rating, on the other hand, "Baa3" is the lowest investment grade status.
As mentioned earlier, the researchers expected 1.8 million tons in 2013, which means that aluminum prices will remain under pressure for the rest of the year. For 2013 Citibank sees consumption growth of just 1.3 percent because of the slowdown in China and the continued sovereign debt crisis in Europe. In current conditions it is not feasible for investors to invest in this stock. So instead of investing in it, investors should take a short position.

25. Bathe in the Ganges River During the Purna Kumbh Mela
The 45-day Purna Kumbh Mela is a holy pilgrimage (among Hindus and non-Hindus alike) that takes place every 12 years. Depending on the position of the planet Jupiter ('Brhaspati' in Hindi) in relation to the Sun and Earth, the festivities can take place in different cities, like Prayag, Uijain, Trimbakeshwar, Nashik, or Haridwar. However, beware: You may want to leave the Irish Spring soap at home, as the locals frown upon actual 'soap' being used in their holy water. Go figure!
26. Attend the Olympic Games
Thank the ancient Greeks for the idea of the modern-day Olympics, even though these ultimate competitions weren't really revived (since around 393 A.D.) until the late 19th century. But no matter what your level of interest in sports is—whether 'fanatic' or 'non-enthusiast'—there's not one person that won't get a thrill out of attending at least one Olympic game once in their life. As of this writing, London is slated to hold the next Summer Olympic games, with Solchi (Russia) hosting the 2014 Winter Olympics. Mark one on your calendar and make plans accordingly!
27. Visit the Birthplace or Gravesite of a Cultural Icon
Who are your favorite late, great people? Picasso, Abe Lincoln, Mark Twain…Elvis? Whoever they are, what better way to pay your respects to them than by visiting their final resting places (and, of course, getting yourself in that destined-for-Facebook photo next to 'em)? To find such places, websites like FindaGrave and GraveHunter have you covered.
28. Enjoy a Freshly Rolled Cigar in Cuba
Never mind the fact that Cuban cigars are forbidden imports in the U.S. Some rules are just meant to be broken. Besides that, it's not even illegal if it's actually being done in Cuba! That said, make sure that your stogie is actually 'Cuban', because up to 90% of them in the U.S. and Cuba are suspected counterfeits. A genuine, quality Cuban cigar should be labeled as 'long-filled' (never machine-made) and 'hand-rolled'.
29. Drive Your Dream Car
Live anywhere near or ever plan to travel to Miami or New York City? Always dreamed of driving an ultra-exotic car? Hit the folks at Gotham Dream Cars up. They rent (for a princely sum) such lusty cars as the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG sportscar and S550 ultra-luxury sedan, Rolls-Royce Phantom, Ferrari 599 GTB and F430 Spider—all of them easily $100k+ automobiles. A word of caution, though: Make certain that you have some damn good insurance!

UDS Build - My weber lid fits without modification?
View Single Post
Knows what a fatty is.
Join Date: 05-07-12
Location: TN
Well, now I have another decision. I was looking through my notes and completely forgot about a local place that sells reconditioned drums. I called them and for an unlined (but outside painted) drum and lid its $23. For a bare unlined and unpainted drum its $13 with lid.
I know my weber lid probably wouldnt fit anymore like it does the one I have now, paying $25 for sandblasting and already $15 in the current barrel, I should probably re-sell it and get the one ready to use and save money in the end.
@ J-rod - The main reason for the weber lid is having 2 grates. I am planning to make the drum lid and weber lid usable for the smoker. When I need 2 shelves use weber, all other times use drum lid. I will just see how it goes with the weber lid, if I dont like it I wont use it, nothing lost there it was free.

Financial Cards and Payments in Indonesia
|Published by

|69 Pages
As the Indonesian economy falls short of its growth target for the first quarter of 2015, Central Bank of Indonesia has revised its initial growth target to just 5.1% for the year. With less than expected performance, consumers are more cautious in terms of spending and have reined in less essential purchases. The strengthening US dollar against the local currency, rupiah, which continued in 2015, has also impacted increasing prices and public utilities thus weakening purchasing power.
Euromonitor International's Financial Cards and Payments in Indonesia report establishes the size and structure of the market for ATMs cards, smart cards, credit cards, debit cards, charge cards, pre-paid cards and store cards. It looks at key players in the market (issuers and operators), number of cards in circulation, numbers transactions and value of transactions. It offers strategic analysis of sector forecasts and trends to watch.

St. C.'s Weidman will attend WJU
ST. CLAIRSVILLE – Selecting a college or university to attend can be a long-and-drawn-out process for a high school senior.
Not for Falon Weidman.
There were two factors in the St. Clairsville senior soccer standout choosing Wheeling Jesuit University to continue her academic and athletic careers.
"I really like the coach (Carrie Hanna). She was a lot of help in getting me to Wheeling Jesuit. And since I'm Catholic, I really like Jesuit atmosphere.
"I believe Wheeling Jesuit has what I'm looking forward to majoring in." That would be history and international culture," she disclosed.
Weidman was a 4-year veteran for Coach Scott Dutton's Lady Red Devils. She was named the team MVP this past season after earning all-OVAC and all-Eastern District honors. She is also planning on playing in the OVAC All-Star Game, as well.
"Playing in the District All-Star game was fun," she admitted.
Going from the high school level to the collegiate level is a big step in any sport.
"I'll have to work on my 1-on-1 skills a lot more because I wasn't really called upon to use them a lot in high school," she added. "I will also have to increase my endurance to play at the next level."
Weidman decided on WJU over Waynesburg University, John Carroll University and Case Western University.
Does she have a fond memory of her high school career?
"Getting to play my senior season with my two younger sisters was fun. It was a treat to be able to do that," she admitted.
Weidmnan also credits Coach Dutton for helping her in her college decision-making.
"Coach Dutton really helped me a lot in being recruited to college because he had already been through that process with his daughter," she said.

There was a moment on Saturday evening when Peter Crouch, his body shaped as if Marco van Basten, became fleetingly one of the true giants of the game. The fact that he later paused before answering the question "your best ever?", as if mentally flicking back through his collected works of great goals, only heightened the moment. The parabola that Crouch traced audaciously through the Potteries sky simultaneously pencilled in another chapter of his breed's football parable; big can be beautiful.
Actually it is more specific than that. Crouch and his ilk are not the towering brickhouse frontmen so beloved of Sam Allardyce; rather, his breed exists uneasily outside the game's big five – the strapping centre-half, the languid creator, the tearaway wide man, the goal poacher and that brickhouse. They are tall but more beanpole than battering ram, and with that come a peculiar spread of skills and an unparalleled ability to mix the gracious with the clumsy, the bewildering with the breathtaking. We're in giraffe country.
It was in the early 1990s that the skyscraping striker first gambolled into my affections. Aberdeen recruited Wim van der Ark, who, at 6ft 5in, was small by today's standards. As with many of this type he was all odd angles, elbows and knees, erratic in the air. Van der Ark often played as if his head was in the clouds, which during a North Sea haar it sometimes was. But every now and then he would do something special; score four times in a Scottish Cup tie at Partick or set up a cup final winner. It is the trademark of his band of lofty brothers. Van der Ark is now an estate agent back in the Netherlands but even so is still held in high affection in the north-east of Scotland.
They are not a common breed which may explain the familiar direction their career paths have followed. Jan Koller is half an inch taller than the 6ft 7in Crouch and bulkier too, but was a similar player in that his abilities were more grounded than airborne. Koller played for eight clubs; Stoke is Crouch's ninth. Nikola Zigic, who is the same height as Koller, is also on his ninth employer at Birmingham (for whom, incidentally, he scored four times at Leeds in January to double his season's return). It is as if managers look at the catalogue entry, are impressed by the big numbers – all three have a notable international scoring rate – and decide they want one, only to discover when they get it home that it does not go with what they already have.
There appears a lack of trust in Crouch and Co. No one, not least the player himself, is quite sure what is going to happen next. When they are good they stand out and when they are bad they stand out even more. There is football snobbery at work too. Fabio Capello, seeped in the Italian tradition, was never going to trust a player who can appear part Van Basten, part Rodney Trotter. To Capello, Crouch didn't look the part of an international footballer.
Yet his record suggests otherwise, as do those of Koller and Zigic. Koller scored 55 times in 91 games for a good Czech Republic side, playing in three European Championship finals and one World Cup. He formed a classic partnership with Milan Baros, the pair's contrasting abilities fitting together as well as Sir Dave Richards and an ornamental water feature. Zigic has 20 goals in 57 games for Serbia and Crouch has 22 in 42 for England. Harry Redknapp was once an admirer (although he did crate him up and ship him to Stoke) so there remains some hope of an international return.
Whether or not Crouch, who is now 31, ever gets to play for his country again, he already has an international reputation. He is big in China, although not as big as Yang Chanpeng. When the 6ft 8in (some have him at 6ft 11in – the variance is all part of the endearing mystery of the giraffe men) arrived for a trial at Bolton he revealed that back home he was known as "Two metre" or "Crouchie". The Sun came up with the Great Tall of China but he fell short. It leaves the Norwegian Tor Hogne Aaroy to lay claim to being the world's tallest outfield player. Aaroy is 6ft 81/2in and a striker in the Crouch mould. This is a man who stands out in a crowd, not least because he plays in Japan, where the average height is 5ft 7in.
Norway are head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to current footballing giants, with Oyvind Hoas, who once had a trial at Luton, and Even Iversen both 6ft 8in. From down here neither appears particularly proficient, but can't looks be deceiving? As Crouch demonstrated for the umpteenth time in that one moment of absolute, head-to-toe synchronicity on Saturday.Reuse content
