Its different, but outstanding IMHO. I can't imagine a stout fan not liking this beer, and the mint doesn't overpower it in the least. To me, its almost too understated where you only get the mint hint on the back. Lots of roasty coffee/dark chocolate flavors up front.

Dwyane Wade Autographed Memorabilia and Collectibles
Dwyane Wade was first drafted into the NBA in 2003, where he was taken fifth overall by the Miami Heat. A star from his incredible rookie year, Wade's determination and dedication to the game made him one of the biggest NBA stars of the 2000's era. He also has three hard fought NBA championships under his belt, and averaged just under 25 points a game for his entire career, making him one of the best scorers and offensive players of his time.
After an absent freshman year, Wade was an instant star at Marquette his Sophomore year, leading the Golden Eagles in scoring while also leading the conference in steals. He led the Eagles to an impressive 26-7 record, which was their best record since ten years prior. A great start that was just the beginning for the young superstar. While his Sophomore year was strong, Wade shined the following season. He expanded his play, recording a team high 21.5 points per game, and gave the Golden Eagles their first ever Conference Championship. With Wade leading the way, Marquette then went onto their second ever NCAA Tournament and finished their run by making the Final Four for the first time since 1977. Marquette fans can relive Wade's illustrious college career at Marquette with either a Dwyane Wade autographed Marquette jersey or a collectible signed poster. The jersey is NCAA authenticated, and the photo recaps Wade in the middle of many of his game time moments, recapping Marquette's historic NCAA Tournament run.
After he finished his three great years with Marquette, Wade quickly made of name for himself in the NBA with his ability to score. His mid-range shooting combined with his ability to drive to the basket made him a dual threat and paved the way for him to become the Heat's all time leading scorer. He currently owns that title along with an NBA finals MVP and ten All-Star Game appearances. While Wade's feats on the court made him a great player to watch as well as root for, his legacy was built upon his ability to compete in the playoffs. Wade has won the NBA finals five times, all with Miami Heat, and did so headlining two different teams. His first championship win came in 2006, where he and future Hall of Famer Shaquille O' Neal took down the Dallas Mavericks in a stunning six game series. Despite initially being down 0-2 in the series, the Heat managed to come back behind Wade's unstoppable scoring to take the series 4-2. Wade managed to score an amazing 34.7 points per game, the third highest in NBA Finals history. He earned a Finals MVP for his efforts and brought Miami their first even championship trophy.
After winning in 2006, Wade once again captured the spotlight in 2010 when he teamed up with superstar LeBron James. With LeBron's help, Wade brought the Heat back to their former glory. They have reached the finals each of the last four years, and have taken home two more championship rings. Wade, a Heat player for the entirety of his career, has brought three well deserved and well earned championships to his city. Our Dwyane Wade memorabilia displays these championships while also commemorating the incredible career that Wade has had. Each piece is a must have for any Miami Heat fan as well as anybody who has ever had an inherent love for the game. Dwyane Wade isn't just a prolific scorer or one of the greatest athletes of all time, he is also one of the best players to ever step on a court. Every piece in our collection seeks to outline his incredible career, either by showing his championship performances or by outlining the great player that he was, is, and continues to be.
- Dwyane Wade Signed Jerseys – Fans and collectors alike know the importance of a well made, authentic jersey to a collection. A jersey, unlike other types of memorabilia, represents the player in a truly unique way. As such, there is no better way to commemorate Wade's three rings and ten All-Star appearances than with a replica of the uniform he wore during all of his success. Whether it was during his illustrious college career or his dominating NBA performance, a Dwyane Wade signed jersey tells the champion's story in a truly special way, and acts as a great piece to any collection. These autographed Dwyane Wade jerseys are both framed, signed and have been authenticated by the NCAA and NBA respectively.
- Dwyane Wade Autographed Basketballs – It's hard to get closer to the game than with a piece of the actual hardware. Our Dwyane Wade signed basketballs, or Dwyane Wade and LeBron James signed basketballs for the perfect piece of sports memorabilia current Heat fans or collectors looking to commemorate the team's back-to-back titles. You can even purchase a special display case that provides both an excellent way to show off your signed Dwyane Wade basketball while also protecting the ball with a UV coating that helps stop signature damage. Dwyane Wade is one of the greatest scorers in the history of the league, and there is no better way to add a piece of his glory to your collection that with the instrument he used to etch his name in the history books.
- Dwyane Wade Signed Photographs – Dwyane Wade's legacy holds a very important place in NBA history. His three rings cement him as one of the best players to ever play the game and Wade is at the prime of his career. As such, no sports collection is complete without acknowledging what Wade has done for Miami. Many of our signed Dwyane Wade photographs recap his championship rings, taking you through his time with the "Big Three". Not only that, but these Dwyane Wade autographed photographs also feature other Miami greats, such as Chris Bosh and LeBron James. There are many ways to add valuable Wade memorabilia to your own collection, and a signed championship photo or action shot praising Wade's athleticism is one of the best. Our frames are perfect ways to showcase your own piece of sport's history and display your Miami Heat pride.
- Dwyane Wade Autographed Shoes – Any good collector knows that a sports collection is only complete when it can blend both the past and present. While most NBA memorabilia, such as jerseys, basketballs, and photographs, are so valuable because of their worth through the years, autographed basketball shoes are a more recent collectibles trend that has really caught on. With an assortment of autographed Dwyane Wade shoes, these unique collectibles are a beautiful compliment or centerpiece to your collection. Each pair of signed Dwyane Wade sneakers is top quality, and comes in an variety of Miami Heat themed colors. Dwyane Wade's achievements will live on for many generations, and a pair of his shoes, will not only reflect upon his incredible athleticism, but also allow you to take home a piece of the game.

text: With the holidays approaching many of us will be traveling. While we are out shopping, visiting friends, telling Santa our wishes and enjoying the Christmas lights, an intruder may be knocking at our door and helping themselves to our stuff!Karen Clark, of Security Choice, shared some year round tips to help protect your home.Tip No. 1: Don�t Be Afraid to Call for BackupHave a trusted neighbor or friend drop by your house while you�re out of town just to keep an eye on things. You can even ask that an officer from your local police department check on your place periodically.NOTE: Where I live there is a team of volunteer police officers that check houses. They do a great job and it is nice to know that someone is checking things out while I am gone.Tip No. 2: Go for That Lived-In LookTo a certain extent, burglary season lasts all year. The Center for Problem-Oriented Policing reports that although burglary rates tend to hit their peak in August and bottom out in February, the seasonal variations usually aren�t very large. It is important to protect your home every time you leave on vacation, no matter what time of year it is.Put a temporary hold on your mail and newspapers. Mail stops are easily done online or at your post office. This way your mail and papers do not mount up giving the hint that you are not there. Leave an indoor and outdoor light on. It is best to use a timer. By leaving a TV or radio on it can create the impression that someone is home.NOTE: I have timers that can be set for lights to go on and off at different times of the night. Also, I have motion lights outside. Step on my porch or patio and you will think you are in the spotlight of a Broadway show.Tip No. 3: Wrong Number, BurglarSet your answering machine or voicemail to pick up after the first two or three rings to avoid having an unanswered call tip off an intruder. Just to be extra cautious, turn down the volume on the phone�s ringer.Tip No. 4: It Doesn�t Pay to AdvertiseWhile we�re on the subject of answering machines, recording a greeting that includes a phrase like �We�ll be in Cancun for the next two weeks� is like ringing the dinner bell for a burglar. Also, don�t use social media to announce your vacation plans � you never know who might be browsing.Tip No. 5: Out of Sight, Out of DangerYou�re proud of that new flat-screen TV, but imagine how proud a burglar will be if he gets one for free. Pull the curtains and close the blinds so that electronics, collectibles and other high-value items aren�t clearly visible from outside your home.NOTE: I am an expert on this one...don't leave your Christmas boxes outside in the recycling or trash. Cut them up...take them to the community recycle bins and not at your house. My neighbor left a box from a large flat screen outside. The TV was gone shortly after Christmas!A police chief once told me...robbers are not going to break in if there is any thought that there might be someone at home, that they have an alarm system, large dogs, you get the point.Keep your home safe anytime you travel.

Feeling Good About Housing, With Old Mortgages Being the Buzzkill
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- At long last, U.S. homeowners are seeing a real rise in the value of their homes, five years after the housing market collapsed and millions of Americans saw their most valuable financial asset plummet in value.
That was then and this is now, with two sets of new numbers framing the story.
According to the National Association of Realtors , home prices are up in 88% of U.S. metropolitan areas. Home prices also saw the strongest year-over-year growth rates since 2006, the NAR reports.
All in all, the median U.S. home price rose 10% from 2011 to last year, to $172,000 from $162,000. That translates into good times, at least as it pertain to 2006-12, for the domestic real estate market.
"Home sales are on a sustained uptrend, mortgage interest rates are hovering near record lows and unsold inventory is at the lowest level in 12 years," says Lawrence Yun, chief economist at the NAR. "Home sales are being fueled by a pent-up demand and job creation, along with still favorable affordability conditions and rents rising at faster rates. Our population has been growing faster than overall housing stock, so supply and demand dynamics are very much at play."
Another good barometer of real estate health is the state of home mortgage delinquencies.
TransUnion is out this week with numbers on that front showing the national mortgage delinquency rate (which the firm defines as the rate of borrowers 60 or more days past due) in decline for the fourth straight quarter.
The U.S. mortgage delinquency rate fell from 5.41% in the third quarter of 2012 to 5.19% in Q4 of last year. On a year-to-year basis, the national mortgage delinquency rate is down 14% from 2011.
Why the still historically high numbers on mortgage delinquencies? TransUnion says it's complicated, but by and large, while fewer new homeowners are paying bills late, older mortgage-holders are propping up higher delinquency rates.
"The national mortgage delinquency rate experienced its largest yearly decline since the conclusion of the recession, though we still remain far above normal levels," says Tim Martin, group vice president of U.S. housing at TransUnion. "For the most part, newer vintage mortgage loans are not the reason for the stubbornly high delinquency rate. They are performing relatively well. The elevated delinquency levels that we still are experiencing are a result of older vintage loans -- borrowers who haven't been making their payments for a rather long time that are still in the system, inflating the overall rate."
The "glass half-full" outlook shows improvements on all mortgage payment fronts, however.
But here is the "glass half-empty" story -- TransUnion analysts say the outlook for declining mortgage delinquencies is apparent, with a "continue downward trend" in early 2013, albeit at a "muted" pace.

Johannes Vermeer, Girl with a Pearl Earring, ca. 1665. Oil on canvas, 17 1/2 x 15 3/8 in. (44.5 x 39 cm). Royal Picture Gallery Mauritshuis, The Hague, Bequest of Arnoldus des Tombe, 1903 (inv. no. 670)
This event is expired.
The de Young will be the first venue in the American tour of paintings from the Royal Picture Gallery Mauritshuis, The Hague. This jewel box of a museum, housing one of the world's most prestigious collections of Dutch Golden Age paintings, has not lent a large body of works from its holdings in nearly 30 years. An extensive two-year renovation makes this extraordinary opportunity possible.
The exhibition features 35 paintings representing the range of subject matter and technique characteristic of 17th-century painting in the Dutch Republic. Among the works traveling to the United States is the Mauritshius' celebrated masterpiece Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer and the enchanting The Goldfinch by Carel Fabritius. The painting Vase of Flowers by the gifted Rachel Ruysch, one of the few female painters of the Dutch Golden Age, is being restored especially for the American tour.

Skip to comments.Well, Now That Everyone Has Sobered Up, Let's Figure Out What Facebook Is Actually Worth...
Posted on 05/21/2012 3:02:07 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
click here to read article
My prediction: $10 in 6 months.
They may have "revenue" but it is illusory.
There is no profit model and the institutional investors, most of which are on the sidelines, will short it accordingly.
Apple has real products. Google has real adevrtising potential.
Facebook is air. Nothing real. Sure - 900,000,000 users. All 'free' users. You can't make money on free.
I don't think it will go that low that fast. But what I would be concerned with is ... with 900 Million (or whatever) members, what is the growth potential?
One of my favorite political and social commentators, David Goldman, aka "spengler" - has written about this Facebook IPO, which sums up everything nicely
Well, to me, personally, not a damned penny.
Biggest waste of time and bandwidth on the internet.
It beats me as to why grown persons would post every single aspect and incident of their pitiful lives for the whole world to see and laugh over.
But, that's just my humble opinion.Your opinion may differ.
The article values the company at $6-$7, under normal circumstances.
Earlier today I said $6.
I do not see the enormous growth potential that others do....so I would value it like a 'normal' company.
A value of 65 x earnings essentially means you max annual return is expected to be 1.5%. I can do better (and safer) with a money market at my local bank. Or, I could buy a variety of mutual funds and do better. Heck, I could buy Google stock and do better.
Its makes absolutely no sense, unless you believe Facebook will magically start making more money - alot more money.
Just curious, what was FB going to do with all the money they thought they were going to raise?
Also remembering back to the dot com frenzy of 1990's IPOs, they hit the market at whatever price; say $20 and are gobbled up in big lots by institutional buyers where they stock bundles are attached to mutual funds or spun to favored clients. They sell huge volumes at slight margins, say $22 - $24 and then get out. In a short time the stock settles at about half of where it was publicized. It was consistently this way when I followed IPOs with interested associates in the past.
I expect Facebook to level around $18 by mid June.
Did you mean what IS FB going to do with all the money they raised?
For FB the IPO was a tremendous success.
Hookers and blow in Vegas.
BARRY SOETORO/ BARACK OBAMA's FOREIGN STUDENT CARD Posted on Facebook....
Idiots all. Fakebook has no real value.
The article does a good job of articulating what I have believed for a long time:
Google really KNOWS us...our search history reveals all our dirty secrets. We forget we are being watched, and let it all hang out....and Google will send targeted ads, matching our proclivities.
Facebook, however, only knows the 'dating website' plastic banana version of us. We only reveal what we want to...and the targeted advertising hits precisely in the wrong place.
I expect they should be able to quadruple that number in ten years if the fad holds up.
I am thinking this is a great SHORT buy
I think the real problems will start for Facebook when advertisers figure out Google gives them much more bang for their buck.
I don't see how it's worth anything.
It produces no product and has no significant holdings that I'm aware of.
The people who invested in Facebook will experience what BHO experienced with his "investments" in alternative energy. The difference will be that the people who bought Facebook stock will lose their OWN money.
GM announced before the IPO they were pulling their fb ads because they didn't bring in any business for them. That's about all fb has to offer in the way of revenue, advertising, isn't it?
Worth a few hundred millions at best...possible ad revenue, selling personal data, etc.
It reminds of pre-Internet-.com-bubble stocks...buy buy buy then the pump & dump brokers short the crap out of it, forcing the dumb money (us) to run and either they buy very low, sell a little higher and make the last few millions before the status of dead-money-stock is reached.
That's the story of the late 90s garbage redux in Internet crappy and hyped IPOs.
Anyone who thinks this is the next Apple is sadly mistaken.
IMO, of course.
Look up the term "Google slap" and then decide how much "bang for the buck" Google provides. Their content network is a joke as well. Advertisers are really a little tired of Google and their strong-arm tactics with Adwords. I'm not going to predict Facebooks stock value, but there is plenty of opportunity for them to expand their advertising revenue.
Different subject but has to do with fB. I found this interesting that FB banned mother of the child with disabilities while FB inventor or whatever he is just married a pediatrician.
Different subject but has to do with fB. I found this interesting that FB banned mother of the child with disabilities while FB inventor or whatever he is just married a pediatrician.
I have no idea why anyone would buy a single share of Facebook stock. People don't go to Facebook to see ads.
Indeed, and FB made an IPO because they knew it was worthless. They would not sell low, would they? Ad revenues are then slated to go down too. That means the economy is going to go to the crapper.
Once it does, then people, unemployed, might do more facebook time and the revenues might go up.
Facebook is overall too complicated and any new features added to it will tank it for good.
The Freerepublic model is much more user friendly and quicker, imo, because it keeps the old true and tried robust posting methods.
My business's website received over a million and a half impressions (and about a 2.5% ctr) in the first quarter 2012 on a $45/day adword budget. This in a very competitive market.
I hate google as much as anyone, but there has never been an easier, cheaper, more effective way of reaching customers.
Without them, I'd be out of business.
Is there some reason everyone (or seemingly everyone) is obsessed with FB? Seems like the promoters and detractors can't speak of anything else.
Play Mafia Farms (or whatever they play over there). :-)
CA Governor Jerry Brown was hoping the new FB Millionaires and Billionaires would pay off the $16 Billion Dollar Deficit and throw in a few extra bucks for High Speed Rail.
Obama just wants the money for his Reelection.
I'll bet most if not all of any money "donated" will go to Pharaoh Obama. Jerry Brown won't get a dime except for some Capital Gains Taxes. It won't change a thing. If Democrats have money, they spend every last dime and beg for more. It's their nature.
10 billion 'free' users will not make a profit.
I'd run from this one. Way overpriced IMO. I think they (FB management) recognized the fad was ending and cashed out. I believe it is in a fast fade. Be lucky to be $10 by end of 2012.
They can't push ads to mobile yet and plugins like Adblock effectively block adds in browsers (although the impression may still count.) They also face tremendous infrastructure challenges.
Depends on what they buy with their money. The Facebook franchise by itself ought to be worth about as much as AOL by itself.
OMG — that is so perfect!!
"Is everyone in your time retarded?"
The web site is free to the users, but advertisers pay money to have their ads seen on users' FB pages.
Some companies make millions of dollars a month on such ad revenue. Even pay their employees quarterly bonuses.
Don't kid yourself. 'Free' web sites do big business and make lots of money.
All I know is I get a lot of bang for my buck for my law office.
They do. Impression revenue is earned when the page is served, whether it's displayed or not.
Tech IPO's are always "overpriced." It's almost tautoligical.
Does anyone know what this company is worth? It seems to be nearly entirely potential; and nobody knows what the upside is -- it's practically incalculable; but so are the contingencies.
How long does the average user sit in front of a Facebook page? How many man hours are spent viewing facebook pages each day globally? What is buying time in front of that captive audience worth? Somebody run the numbers. I'm sure it's huge.
The problem is that with a half billion shares out, it's no slam-dunk bargain.
FB can't bring in ad revenue because most users use cell-phones to access, and they don't display ads. Worse, most users via the net won't click on an ad, or buy via one.
JMHO, FB isn't worth a fraction of it's current 'value' and it's stock price will shrink rapidly. Look at Facebook partner Zynga. Trading was stopped twice on Friday due to plunging value - closed at an all-time low.
My bet, trading on both Zynga and FB will be a wild ride to major losses.
Elite HS in Hawaii to that?
He was a foreign student like elizabeth warren is a cherokee.
AA quota hogs.
Can someone scan the bar code?
personally I would not give $.02 for facebook stocks.
Approximately a 0.30 CPC which isnt' too bad. I would assume by these numbers you probably get an EPC of $10 or so? Don't forget that you're now beholden to Google. They have a bad habit of "slapping" sites for no apparent reason. If that happens, you're going to see that CPC double or, more likely, triple.
And there have been plenty of easier and cheaper ways to reach customers. Google isn't the first PPC company to come along but they are definitely the most expensive. Plus, there are too many old and easy SEO tactics for various search engines that you could rank a site for and rank in the money. Google is currently winning the adverting war, however, and marketers are stuck with them.
Apple, for example, has enormous potential "option value"... but the market is valuing Apple at only 10X 2013 estimated earnings per share. Meanwhile, at the IPO price, the market valued Facebook at about 65X consensus 2013 estimated earnings per share. That is extremely expensive.

You can improve the look of your Oldsmobile Bravada by two ways: the first way is to replace the factory headlights with a new set of headlights, but such replacement is quite expensive, the second way is just to install a set of chrome headlight trim, which is a fast and affordable way to personalize your vehicle. Provide your Bravada with a set of chrome headlight trim and the front of your vehicle will shine daily and nightly. These automotive accessories are made of automotive grade ABS plastic, which is known for its lightweight, durability and rust resistance. Due to its affordability and high strength-to-weight, the ABS plastic is widely used in the production of the aftermarket automotive accessories. Coming with a triple-chrome plating, the chrome headlight trim will never yellow or rust.
Produced from the ABS plastic they are tough enough to withstand various harsh weather conditions. The installation process is simple. The 2004 Oldsmobile Bravada headlight chrome trim is fitted by means of pre-applied 3M adhesive tape, which ensures fast and easy installation. Custom-made design ensures perfect fit that conforms to the contours of your vehicle's factory lights. Accentuate the factory headlights with chrome trim, which perfectly matches the factory chrome trim of your automobile.

After requesting your Tax Invoice online ,a PDF document will be e-mailed to you within 72 hours,to the e-mail address provided.
If a Tax Invoice has been successfully generated from the South African Airways Tax Invoice System, the onus rests on the recipient to ensure that his/her mailbox has enough space to receive an e-mail - with a PDF attachment; and that his//her service provider or exchange server allows for delivery of such e-mails. South African Airways, can not take responsibility for undelivered e-mails due to any other reasons beyond our control including the above.
Prescribed details required from the South African Revenue Service on a tax invoices
Tax invoices must ordinarily reflect all the following details (Section 20(4)):
South African Airways' application to the South African CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) for an exemption to allow the use of cellular telephones in flight-mode during the cruise-phase of a flight has been granted. The exemption applies to all flights (domestic, regional, international) and all aircraft types.
SAA passengers will be permitted to use personal electronic devices such as cell phones, e-readers and electronic tablets in flight-mode or an equivalent mode.
Flight Mode is a setting available on many mobile phones and other Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs) that when engaged suspends the device's signal transmitting functions – thereby disabling the device's capacity to place or receive calls or text messages while still permitting use of other functions that do not require signal transmission, such as calendars, address books, reading and preparing e-mail, etc.
To effectively manage the risk to aircraft systems, the use of PEDs on board is divided into four categories: Unrestricted, Limited, Restricted and Prohibited. The information below provides guidance on typical PEDs and the restrictions governing their use. All PEDs must be switched off and stowed safely for taxi, take-off, approach and landing.
If the cabin crew are unable to confirm that the transmitting function on an intentionally transmitting device has been disabled, then the device should be switched off. In addition, the Commander may prohibit the use of any PED if this is required in the interest of safety.
After embarkation, and prior to the cabin doors being closed, the IFSC/SCCM (In-flight Service Co-ordinator/Senior Cabin Crew Member) shall make an announcement advising passengers of the conditions under which flight mode may be used.
Passengers will be required to select the flight mode functionality PRIOR to switching their cell phones off in preparation for the flight. The use of these devices in flight mode (as per the exemption application) will be indicated by the Commander switching off the "fasten seat-belt" sign after take-off and switching on the "fasten seat belt" sign again in preparation for landing.
Please Note:
If a passenger is uncertain how to select flight mode on the cell phone, the passenger must be advised that the device must remain switched off for the duration of the flight.
If at any point during a flight any irregularities or interference are detected in the flight deck, flight mode is to be suspended IMMEDIATELY. In this event, the Commander shall make an announcement to this effect.

Prices May Zip Higher After Zipcar, Avis Deal
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Whether it's Avis Budget (CAR) buying up struggling upstart Zipcar(ZIP) , Hertz(HTZ) acquiring Dollar Thrifty (DTG) or Priceline.com(PCLN) taking over Kayak Software (KYAK) , travelers should expect these deals to push up prices in the fast consolidating travel sector next holiday season.
Travel industry giants like Hertz, Priceline and Avis have used a depressed post-crisis economy to make the case for consolidation - taking out price-competitive discount competition. As the U.S. economy builds momentum, it won't be a surprise to see travel, plane and car rental deals evaporate as prices rise.
In the past 24 months, Hertz has been able to cut what's likely the last mega rental-car merger to cap a consolidation of the industry to three giant players , meanwhile online travel search specialists Kayak Software and ITA Software have fallen into to larger players like Priceline and Google (GOOG) .
While price increases are never outlined in the announcement of a deal, analysts covering rental car stocks like Hertz and Avis have long pointed to M&A as a way for the industry to drive flat pricing growth and revenue. In travel search, the merger of two industry heavyweights might have a similar impact.
The airline sector is also in the process of what could be a necessary consolidation to drive prices higher in an improving economy. In 2010, United (UAL) was able to buy Continental Airlines -- forming the largest U.S. airline. After American Airlines 2011 bankruptcy, signs indicate U.S. Airways (LCC) is slowly building the consensus needed to swoop in and buy its struggling, discount competitor from bankruptcy.
Still, in the wake of Avis's announced Wednesday acquisition of Zipcar for about $500 million -- or $12.25 a share -- antitrust officials are unlikely to take notice of how consolidation in the travel sector - be it land, air or web - impacts prices in a recovering economy.
Avis and Zipcar aren't direct competitors as the car rental giant may have been for Dollar Thrifty, a competitor it failed to acquire in a multi-year takeover dance that raised Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission fire.
In acquiring Zipcar, Avis highlights significant operating and fleet synergies between the two companies, in a merger of complementary industry players. According to Avis, Zipcar will also remain an independent subsidiary of the company.
"We see car sharing as highly complementary to traditional car rental, with rapid growth potential and representing a scalable opportunity for us as a combined company," Ronald L. Nelson, Avis's chief executive, said in a statement.
With Avis's broad reach, an acquisition of Zipcar could be exactly what the hourly car rental specialist for urban centers needs to become solidly profitable.
Avis said in a statement, it could use its existing fleet to help serve Zipcar's loyal subscribers in peak demand such as weekends and that the deal will drive up to $70 million in overall yearly cost savings. As of the third quarter, Zipcar had roughly 760,000 subscribers - known as Zipsters, in some circles.

Lionfish Invade Caribbean Waters
January 2009 Lionfish Became Cozumel Enemy #1
Following initial sightings in January 2009, Cozumel's National Marine Park brought in experts on lionfish in order to educate the providers of marine services regarding the management of the invasive fish species which was reportedly seen in Cozumel waters. Lionfish have been documented in the Florida Keyes, the Bahamas and Cuba. The lionfish is an exotic species that puts the reefs and marine life of Cozumel at risk. This dangerous and spectacular fish is a native of the Pacific and Indian Oceans
and spotting the fish in Cozumel waters late January 2009 was terrible news.
According to Dr. James Morris of NOAA, who spoke in Cozumel in August of 2013, this invasive fish has made its way all the way down the continental coast now to Brazil. If left uncontrolled, scientists expect the Lionfish to use the Amazon river and its natural, open causeways to traverse South America and then attack the western coast of South America as well in less than a decade.
The lionfish was introduced to Atlantic waters about 16 years ago. Some blame the ballast of sea-going vessels. Others cite aquarium owners who dump the fish when they outgrow their tanks. The first documented Atlantic sightings came days after Hurricane Andrew in 1992, when six lionfish were spotted in Biscayne Bay and traced to a private aquarium swept away from a Miami waterfront home. It is believed that lionfish hitched a ride north on the Gulf Stream, up the East Coast, and eventually south to the Bahamas and the Caribbean. Regardless of the culprit, the lionfish has since caused ecological havoc on fragile Atlantic ecosystems already burdened by over-fishing, pollution and global warming. Lionfish are altering the diversity of an area that has taken hundreds of thousands of years to adapt and evolve. They are eating their way through the Atlantic reefs, causing the most devastating marine invasion in history.
The lionfish grows to a maximum of 20 inches long. Because of its exotic features, the zebra striping and a feathery mane of fins, it is the number two aquarium fish in the US behind the clown fish, but this beauty is a beast. They are fearless because of the poison they carry in their sharp spines, and cold water appears to be their only real enemy. Otherwise, they thrive at depths ranging from a few inches to 500 feet. The lionfishs coloring allows it to strike its prey from the protective camouflage of a coral reef. Lionfish eat like no other fish in the Atlantic, using their fanned out fins to block escape by prey.
They devour commercial fish, such as grouper and snapper juveniles, as well as those species food supplies. In a 2008 Oregon State University study, research teams observed one lionfish gorging on 20 small fish in less than 30 minutes. It could ultimately kill off helpful algae-eating species, allowing seaweed to overtake reefs. There are no natural enemies for this fish in the Caribbean, and it can reproduce without control.
In the years since the initial discovery of lionfish in Cozumel waters, significant ongoing efforts have been put into place to try to curb the growth of its population on the reefs. Cozumel's Marine Park staff has held educational seminars training divers on how to safely spear lionfish and lionfish harvesting tournaments are held regularly now amongst dive shops. Local restaurants are doing their part by experimenting with various ways to serve lionfish and putting it on their menus so as to create a consumption market for the fish which multiplies prolifically. In addition, divemasters and local marine life specialists are taking opportunities to try to train larger fish like grouper and nurse sharks to feed on the lionfish. Since lionfish are new to these waters, for the most part, larger predator fish are not aware that lionfish can be a quick easy meal since they are typically very slow moving.

Design How-To
Slideshow: Making sense of connected sensors
8 comments
8 comments
YOKOHAMA, Japan The Embedded Technology 2012 trade show here focused on five smart technologies: energy, healthcare, agriculture, automotive and transportation systems as well as mobile and cloud computing.
The show floor bristled with sensors that can go into virtually anywhere, from shoes and cars to the water standing in rice fields.
Anticipating a world of ubiquitous sensors and connected networks, vendors demonstrated solutions that addressed such fundamental questions as:
- How will new sensors be powered?
- How do we build systems that can handle multiple sensors in parallel?
- How quickly can we design and tune different analog front-end circuits specific to each type of sensor?
- What protocols are necessary for sensors to communicate among themselves?
- And, at what frequency range can sensors be wirelessly connected?
Below are a dozen examples of the devices, embedded systems and applications that are making sensors ubiquitous.
Murata Manufacturing showed off a running shoe embedded with clear piezo film devices and a Bluetooth smart module. Five small patches of piezo film placed on the sole can detect friction and foot movement inside the "smart" shoe, allowing it to measure and help regulate the users walking or running habits.

Bulldog History
- The Bulldog originated in England with the practice of bull baiting, in which a dog was set upon a bull to torment it before it was killed. This was done as entertainment and to make the bull's meat more tender. The ordeal might last for hours, during which the dog was expected to grab the bull, often by its muzzle, and hang on. Having jaws that protruded beyond the dog's muzzle helped it breathe while hanging there.
- Bull baiting and other blood sports were outlawed in England around 1835. Efforts to use the Bulldog in dog fighting were unsuccessful, although when mixed with terriers, its descendents were good fighters. The Bulldog itself, however, was without a job.
- Some admirers set out to redefine the breed as a stylish companion, breeding with temperament as a priority. They also bred for accentuated features, so that today's Bulldog doesn't look much like the original.
- A breed club was formed in 1875 in England.
- The AKC recognized the Bulldog in 1886.
- The Bulldog is a national symbol of England as well as a popular team mascot.
Bulldog Behavior Concerns
- Makes a loyal and fun-loving companion.
- Playful and good with children.
- Friendly toward strangers.
- Not friendly toward strange dogs, but friendly toward other pets.
- Willing to please, but can be stubborn. May rebel against forceful methods.
- Does best with reward-based training along with good control and leadership.
Bulldog Suggested Exercises
- Makes a calm and trustworthy housedog.
- Requires daily exercise in the form of a leisurely walk or some backyard games.
- Extremely prone to overheating because of its flat face. Indoor games are preferable in warm weather.
- Its short coat does not protect it against the cold.
- Obedience and trick training provide essential mental stimulation.
- Most Bulldogs cannot swim.
Bulldog Grooming
- Coat is fine and glossy.
- The coat needs only occasional brushing, once every week or so, to remove dead hair.
- Shedding is average.
- Facial wrinkles, as well as any wrinkles around the tail, should be examined, cleaned and dried daily.
Suggested Bulldog Nutritional Needs
- Has a tendency to be slightly overweight.
- Adult dogs should be fed a balanced diet, with restricted calories if the dog starts to gain too much weight.
- Puppies should be fed a large-breed growth food, which slows their growing rate but not final size. This may decrease the incidence or severity of hip dysplasia in adults.
Did you know?
- Grapes and raisins are harmful to dogs.
- Some dog parasites are transferable to humans.
- Many common pet ailments may be detected early and prevented by visiting your veterinarian twice yearly - saving both time, money, and most importantly, ensuring the best quality of life for your dog.

The Power of Independent Thinking
The recent elections in Iraq have not resolved the main problems therea constitutional crisis, continued terrorism, a potent Sunni rebellion, and fighting between religious and ethnic groups that could result in a full-blown civil war. Is the Iraq war a hopeless quagmire that has been lost, or can the U.S. still foster a united, peaceful and prosperous Iraq?

A career school nurse on teens� top health concerns and what she wishes parents knew.
School nursing�started out as a practical solution for Beth Mattey: The mom of three liked the hours. Now, 27 years later, she says it was the perfect career choice�creative, independent and full of meaning. �As Maya Angelou said, �People never forget how you made them feel,�� Mattey says. �That�s the connection that school nurses make.� We asked Mattey what parents might be surprised to know about her job�and their kids.
1. Sadness is one of the most common illnesses she sees in students. �Kids are anxious and want to do well,� she says, noting a 2012 National Association of School Nurses report that the top five health conditions of�U. S. children are mental health- related, issues that school nurses spend about a third of their time helping students cope with.
2. Every kid should carry a water bottle. Dehydration is often the cause of headaches, another common complaint among kids, Mattey says. Also a culprit? Lack of sleep.
3. School nurses need to know your secrets. In addition to any chronic conditions your student is coping with, update your school�s nurse on any big family news like an illness, death or divorce. Your instinct might be to keep such facts private, but the nurse can offer your child valuable support.
4. Your kids aren�t eating the lunch you pack. �I often ask teens what they had for lunch, and they�say, �Chips.� We need to help them understand the value of nutrition and to make good choices,� Mattey says.
5. A �mental health day� is not a stress solution. Allowing your anxious teen a day off won�t get to the�root of the cause. �If a kid is too stressed to go school, find out why,� Mattey says. �Is she being bullied? Did she not do her homework?�
6. Teens need vaccines. Make sure yours is up to date on the Tdap or tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis; meningitis�one at age 11, the second at age 16; and the HPV (human papilloma virus).
7. A school nurse can be a teen�s� and parent�s�best friend. Mattey sees herself as supporting students, physically and emotionally. After all, she�s there day after day, year after year. �School nurses provide a safety net,� she says.This article originally appeared as on American Profile

Why Minimum Payment on a Credit Card Costs You So Much
NEW YORK ( LowCards.com) -- If you carry a balance on your credit card from one month to the next, it is important to understand what goes into calculating your minimum monthly payment. The more you know about your minimum payment, the faster you may be able to pay down your balance.
The minimum payment is the smallest amount of your balance you can pay by the due date and still meet the terms of your card agreement. The minimum payment due is often a percentage of the balance, typically 1% to 2%.
Keep in mind that the minimum payment due is not the same as your account balance. The majority of the minimum payment goes to interest, and very little of it pays off the actual loan. If you assume the minimum payment due is all you need to pay each month, you will end up owing far more in interest charges than you budgeted. The account balance is your total account debt as of the last statement date.
Paying more than the minimum can save thousands
You may be paying only your minimum payment because that is all you can afford. But by adding just $10 a month to your minimum payment, you may be able to save thousands of dollars in interest and pay off your debt years earlier.
Here is an example illustrating this. Assume you have a credit card balance of $1,500 and an APR of 18%.
By paying just the minimum payment due each month:
Total Minimum payment: Initially $37 per month
Time it will take to get rid of debt: 160 months
Total interest charge during payback period: $1,792.52
By paying $10 more than the total minimum due:
Monthly payment: $47 (initial $37 due plus $10 extra)
Time it will take to get rid of debt: 44 months
Total interest charge during payback period: $555.70
By paying $10 more than the total minimum payment, but still making that fixed payment until the debt is paid off, you will save $1,236.76 in interest payments and pay off your debt 116 months faster -- almost 10 years earlier.
Minimum payment formulas
There isn't a specific set of regulations detailing how minimum payments should be set, so each credit card company has its own formula. Most issuers require a small percentage of the outstanding balance, plus fees and interest, to be paid. For many companies, if the balance on the card is $15 or less, the full balance is due.
- American Express
Amex has one of the more complex formulas. The minimum payment starts with the highest of interest charged on the statement plus 1% of the new balance (excluding any overlimit amount, penalty fees and interest charged on the statement), or $35. Then it adds any penalty fees charged on the statement and 1/24th of any overlimit amount, rounded to the nearest whole dollar. After that, the company adds any amount past due. Your minimum payment due will not exceed your new balance.
- Bank of America
The minimum payment for a Bank of America credit card is 1% of your current balance, plus interest charges and any late fees for the month.
- Capital One
If your balance is less than $25, your minimum payment will equal your balance. Otherwise, your minimum payment will be greater of $25 or 1% of your balance plus interest and late payment fees.
- Chase
Your minimum payment will ordinarily be the larger of $10 (or total amount you owe if less than $10) or 2% of the new balance; or the sum of 1% of the new balance, the periodic interest charges and late fees they have billed you on the statement for which your minimum payment is calculated.
- Citi
The minimum payment due is 2% of the outstanding balance or $30, whichever is higher.
- Discover
The minimum payment due will be the greater of $35 or 2% of the new balance shown on your billing statement, or any interest charges and late fee shown on your billing statement plus $20.

Have fun & enjoy your day in Cozumel!!
Downtown San Miguel Area
Cozumel Island Museum
The history of Cozumel is represented by its museum, which is located in the building that was originally the first luxury hotel opened on the island in 1936. Four large exhibition rooms take residents and visitors into daily life on the island and in the waters around it, from the past to the present. The Museum is located on the corner of Melgar & 8 Norte
Central Lighthouse
Located just past Hotel Cozumel at Playa Calatita, this is the island's newest lighthouse completed in 2000. There are 2 other lighthouses as well around the island: one inside Punta Sur Ecological Park and one on the far north end of the island called Punta Molas.
Heading Southward out of San Miguel Downtown
Be sure to take the old highway turn-off where a sign says CALETA because this road stays close to the sea for beautiful views and beach access.
Estate Beach Club and Patas & Alas Butterfly Sanctuary
For snorkeling and to see Cozumel's butterflies!
Without question the first great place to get your snorkel fins wet!! Noted by
DIVER Magazine in Summer 2002 as the "#1 Snorkel Spot" in the Caribbean
this lovely small beach area offers pristine water and thousands of colorful reef fish to enjoy!
There is a snack / beverage bar at PalMar as well as a big freshwater pool to enjoy between snorkel times. And then to really cool off, step back into the cool, garden shade of Cozumel's only butterfly sanctuary and try to get some pictures of these colorful flying jewels!

Chankanaab Park
The principle attraction of the park is Chankanaab Lagoon, which means "small sea" in Mayan. A result of rain and seawater eroding the porous limestone, the lagoon is considered to be a unique ecosystem on a global scale. The influence of the nearby ocean causes the formation of petrified coral in the lagoon and a large community of fish moves between the ocean and the lagoon through two underground caves.
Explore the cultural past of Mexico in the archeological park where 60 exact replicas of works of art in stone take you on an extraordinary magical tour of Mesoamerica. A lush and aromatic botanical garden surrounds the lagoon.
The beach at Chankanaab is the best place to try water sports such as snorkeling and diving. On-site shops provide everything you need to explore the marvelous coral reefs and watch the multicolored fish. The beach offers fun for everyone as well as lounge chairs, palapas, restaurants, stores and bathrooms.
Dolphin Encounter, Swim, Snorkel and Scuba are also featured inside the park along with Sea Lion shows. Read more/book

~ Off tour path on interior island road across from Mr. Sancho's beach.
This small village in the southern interior of the island is the agricultural and farming center of Cozumel. There is also a small Mayan Ruin in the area. Another easy way to see this area is on the
horseback riding tour
Southern Tip of the Island
Island scenery changes dramatically as you reach the "windward" side of Cozumel. The east side of the island from south to north is desolate, pristine beach where turtles nest each year due to the lack of development and activity.
Paradise Cafe
Make like a "local" ~ hang in a hammock and enjoy the tradewinds, an order of ceviche mixtos and a cerveza!
Punta Sur Ecological Park
The ecological park called Punta Sur is located in the southernmost point of the island. Here nature shows its unity and diversity in the interaction of various elements like Columbia Lagoon, mangrove swamps, birds, reptiles, fish and vegetation.
People have inhabited this area since Prehispanic times. A Mayan ruin in the shape of a shell was probably used as a lighthouse. This unique structure has shells imbedded in its walls that whistle in different tones depending on the direction of the wind.
The Punta Sur Ecological Park is dedicated to the preservation of local flora and fauna. Tour the park's museum, whose theme is the history of navigation around the island. There are various beaches for swimming and organized excursions into the jungle.
Past the museum, closer to the beach, are the remnants of a 19th century masonry structure with a circular staircase leading to a rectangular tower which would have been equipped with a lantern to warn ships of the hazards of the coral infested coast. It would also have served to indicate the entrance to the safe harbor of Columbia Lagoon and the piers of the hacienda of the same name, which exported the agriculture produce of the island.
On the way back to Celarain Point along the access road bordered by white sand dunes,
the remains of the small temple "El Caracol" continue to resist time and weather.
A Prehispanic Mayan structure probably built in the 12th or 13th century, this temple appears, from its technologically advanced architecture, to have been used for navigational as well as religious purposes. This building would have played an important navigational role during the height of Mayan maritime commerce, which, at the time, extended to other parts of Mexico and Central America.
This fortunate combination of architectural elements led the Cozumel Foundation of Parks and Museums to focus the thematic content of the marine museum on bringing the memories and cultural heritage of the island to life. The museum is housed in what was originally the lighthouse keeper's residence.
Thus, the Celarain Lighthouse Museum unites several functions: preservation and conservation of the lighthouse keeper's home and nearby ruins, information and education; while maintaining the monument in its original state. The museum incorporates bilingual material and displays directed at various age groups and comprehension levels in order to provide an interesting and enriching experience for each visitor.
East Side of the Island
Use the beach chart and/or drive and stop along the way at your leisure for photos of beautiful beaches that inspire you!
Coconuts and a big Photo Op
Don't miss this highest vantage point on the island for a great photo of Cozumel's undeveloped, pristine, beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see.
Mescalito's Bar
The official turning point of the highway as you head back into downtown San Miguel.
Punta Molas Road
Check your rental car contract before taking this "jeep only" sand/dirt road because most agencies prohibit rental cars from leaving paved surfaces. This road behind Mescalito's Bar leads to the northern lighthouse and passes several great beaches and a Mayan Ruin (Castillo Real) along the way. AGAIN, most all rental agencies prohibit passage on this road with their vehicles. Typically the best way to see this region of the island without getting in trouble with rental car agency contracts is to do the incredible
Jungle Jeep Tour!!
If you happen to get stuck in the sand on this tour at least you have help getting out!!
Heading West Toward Downtown San Miguel
Mayan Ruins at San Gervasio
Pronounced san-her-BA-see-o, this is a major excavation site of a Mayan Ruin covering about 10 acres. Experience first hand the mysteries of Mayan culture by visiting San Gervasio, the largest archeological site on the island.
A strategic location from both a commercial and political point of view, San Gervasio was also a sacred place for the Maya.
Inhabited from 200AD to the Spanish conquest, San Gervasio was the sanctuary of the Goddess X'chel as well as an important commercial, political and cultural center.
Engravings at the site relate to events all over the Mayan world.
The ruins are located off the transversal Highway between Mezcalitos & San Miguel.
The Foundations new "Passport card"available at Chankanaab, Punta Sur or the museum, allows you to visit all four locations listed above for the low price of just US $20.00.

Dear Sherri -
I just wanted to tell you how much my friend and I enjoyed spending the day at Palmar when we were on a cruise last week. Juan and Enrique are 2 of the most gracious, polite, and accommodating gentlemen I have ever met. This was my second visit to Palmar and the first for my friend. She was overwhelmed by the hospitality, and we both enjoyed Enrique's tour and explanation of the butterflies. Thank you again for a wonderful day at Palmar. Sincerely, JG
Joan Gourley ~ N/A
Martin - You have been so kind and helpful! I will be making sure folks know about your company and how wonderful it is to have folks who can make your trip easy and fun. Wish all of our vacations could go as smoothly. Last year we had to deal with a group that Funjet uses and was not very pleased. He was hard to get ahold of, etc. We felt like he wasn't very knowledgeable or connected to the vendors. Thank you again. How easy you make this for us is incredible.
