- Delightful Story by Deanna on 8/13/2014
A Match of Wits by Jen Turano is a most delightful story that had me laughing out loud several times in each chapter. Agatha Watson is an investigative reporter for the New York Tribune and is now in Colorado hoping to outwit someone in New York who wants her dead. To Agatha's dismay, the newspaper has provided her with a bodyguard and she tries daily to shake him and go off on her own. Her dear friend, Zayne Beckett, is also in Colorado but neither of them wants to run into the other. Agatha does run into Zayne in a saloon where he is drunk and looks as if he has not bathed, shaved, or washed his clothes in months. She know that she is the one that must get him back home to New York and his family. Zayne does not want to go home but Agatha insists and when they arrive in New York after many trying situations, he finally realizes that Agatha is in real danger. He tries to become her protector but she rejects his efforts and what follows is a royal battle of wills that makes for some exciting moments and sometimes a good laugh.
Jan Turano did an excellent job in developing all the characters in this story. They were so well written that they definitely came to life on the pages of the book. They were so realistically portrayed that I was right there beside them in every adventure. The description of the scenes made them come to life and pulled me right into the middle of what was happening. I cannot remember reading any book in which the dialogue gave me so many laughs. And there were many twists and turns to the plot line and these kept me guessing until the end of the book. There was enough suspense to keep me reading when I should have been doing other things.
I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys an historical novel that is filled with lots of laughs. I also think that men might also enjoy the book.
Bethany House provided me with a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
- Hilarious story of two trouble-bound souls!! by Becky on 8/9/2014
Everyone knows independent women, but apparently not many existed back in the late 1880's. Certainly none as forward as Agatha Watson, who in a man's world of journalism, has won many prizes for her NY Times stories championing the less fortunate. With threats on her life, Agatha is forced, with two companions, to flee to Colorado for safety.
Unfortunately, while there, she finds Zayne Beckett, the one man to break her heart. Zayne is injured both outwardly and inwardly when his former fiance dumps him. Agatha decides she needs to revive the old cheerful Zayne, but is very controlling and even dangerous in doing so.
Zayne, for his part, sees his former friend in need of a husband to keep her out of trouble..and begins writing a list of eligible young suitors.
Once back in NYC, the two friends continue to try to manipulate each others' lives under the guise of protectiveness. Eventually, they have to evaluate what makes them so protective...but by then there is competition on both sides and the likelihood that at least one of the two won't survive to address the issues.
Secondary characters are endearing, surprising, relief comedy, and more. And don't forget Matilda!! She steals many a scene!
A fun, lighthearted book perfect for an evening of entertainment. I received this book from bookfun.org in exchange for an honest review.
- A Match of Wits and Love by Robin on 7/4/2014
A Match of Wits
Jen Turano
Book Summary: After his departure from New York two years ago to meet up with his almost-fiance, Zayne Beckett is the last person Agatha Watson wanted to stumble upon in her travels as a reporter with the New York Tribune. Quite pathetically bedraggled, he clearly needs to be taken in hand and sent back East to his family. Although she no longer has feelings for him, Agatha realizes, by hook or by crook, she'll have to be the one to get the obstinate man home. Zayne has no desire to be taken anywhere and is prepared to drag his heels all the way home. . . until he finds himself slipping back into the familiar banter of his former friendship with Agatha. Once they arrive in New York, Zayne realizes Agatha's determined nose for news has earned her a few enemies, and he hopes to repay her help with some help of his own. When she rebuffs all his attempt to prove himself a knight in shining armor, the lengths to which they'll go to win this battle of wills lead to some memorable antics. Everyone else may think them a match, but nothing could be further from the truth--until Agatha finds herself in real trouble. Have these two stubborn, too-smart-for-their-own-good people been meant for each other all along?
Review: This was a fun story with strong characters. They were the same as they started out as in Change of Fortune. It was a fun storyline! There were great twists and turns that made the story great. Going from Colorado back to New York provided a great change of scenery and a great first meeting after two years apart. Drusilla and Francis brought added humor and interesting secondary characters to the story. The madcap adventure that Agatha takes everyone on whether she tries to or not is always fun. The plot was solid and all the characters were believable and realistic. This story was just as exciting as when the series started. Easily to read whether within the series or as a standalone.
I would like to thank Net Galley and Bethany House Publishing for allowing me to read and review this book in return for a free copy and I was never asked to write a favorable review by anyone.
- A Great New Addition to the Series! by Preethi on 6/23/2014
When I first began reading this novel, I remembered little about the last book in the same series, 'A Talent for Trouble.' So when the first male character I encountered was Mr. Blackheart, I truly believed that Agatha's stoic bodyguard would be the hero of the story. Then I went through the novel's synopsis and realized that it was Zeke, the man who broke Agatha's heart (keep in mind that I had no memory of these people in the last book), who was going to win her heart, and I got a little pissed off. Just a bit. Then I went back to my review of 'A Talent for Trouble,' and saw that I had written these exact words a little more than a year ago:
"If there's another book in this series, I'm hoping that it revolves around Agatha, one of Felicia's best friends in 'A Talent for Trouble'. In the book, her long-time crush is getting married to another person, and she's just getting over it. While I'm hoping that Zayne is the main male lead for her – they seem so perfect t together! – I'll be fine as long as she finds someone in the next book."
Of course, I can't really argue with myself, so I settled back into the book, content as a little pig eating chalk (it's a reference to the story…I'm not actually calling myself a pig). To keep it short, Matilda is an adorable little pig who likes eating chalk and candy from the streets, hates the word 'pig', and 'ham', and will run snorting out of your home if you serve lamb (or ham). She's also a great personal bodyguard. Can I have a Matilda please?
The pig wasn't the only adorable character in the book, however: Zeke and Agatha were cute in their own ways, Zeke because he knew almost absolutely nothing when it came to women, and Agatha because of her tendency to find herself in a troubling situation, as well as her tendency to annoy the heck out of everyone while still be loved by them. As stated in the novel many, MANY times, they really were perfect for each other. The plot was a bit more of a "best friend turns true love" type of story, and while they usually don't appeal to me in contemporary romances, they work well in historical fiction for some reason. It was also refreshing that the heroine was a wanted woman, as in someone wanted her head. One of the things I found funniest about the novel is the fact that Agatha was her own, and Zeke's, knight in shining armor. For you feminists out there, you may really enjoy this book since it totally disintegrates the idea that men are the stronger species, and that they must protect their women.
If my memory serves correctly, I enjoyed reading the previous installment in the 'Ladies of Distinction' series more than this one, but that may be because the two books are so similar. There are more disguises and more brothels, though this time Zeke doesn't have to shave off his chest hair. I loved how there were actually two romances in the book: the obvious Zeke & Agatha thing, but it turns out Mr. Blackheart aka Francis gets some romance too. I know I said in the beginning that I wanted Blackheart to get Agatha, but in the end I'm glad he didn't. I still can't figure out how old he is, though >.<
'A Match of Wits' is a great new addition to the 'Ladies of Distinction' series, and reading this book has only convinced me more that I must catch up on the first two books in the series. I'm not sure whether or not this will be the last 'Ladies of Distinction' book, but if it's not, I only hope that the next book will be centered around a plot that differs from this and the last novel. Overall though, fans of the series will be delighted at Agatha's story, and though the preaching about God was a bit less than normal (Zeke refused to pray to God when it seemed his leg would never work again, then when he was told his leg would heal perfectly, he had no qualms about prayer…not cool, dude), the storyline was almost exactly what I'd expected it to be.

If you intend to take a ride, you will have to accept a few compromises, as with any antique vehicle maintenance and parts are always a concern. The most charming artifact of the older black and white recordings is lag or ghosting in the camera imaging tube in which people appear to leave their bodies and follow themselves about, making every solo an eerie duet.
A few years ago, after I was diagnosed at age 47 with Stargardt disease (juvenile macular degeneration), I discovered that it was becoming increasingly difficult for me to read print. Things which I had always taken for granted such as visually scanning the headlines of a newspaper, reviewing my written financial statements and checking out the onscreen guide on my television set all caused my eyes to strain almost immediately. I could still see the print, but not without considerable discomfort. How would I be able to manage

The event raised $14,750 to support the activities of the archive, which began collecting recordings of all types as far back as 1930.

We asked one of our current student teaching participants to take a moment out of their schedule and give us some of her personal impressions of Student Teaching in the United Kingdom.
Student Teaching in the United Kingdom Participant
I'm Carly Vanden Heuvel, and I am currently in my final year of college at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, where I am earning my Bachelor's degree in Secondary Education/English. My biggest passions are reading and writing, and I have found that there is no better way to experience these passions than by sharing them with others through teaching. I enjoy leading discussion-based classes where students have the freedom to collaborate with one another and explore their own creativity. I also enjoy taking my experience from the UWO Writing Center and using it to work one-on-one with students on the writing process.
After hearing about Educators Abroad Student Teaching, I felt like student teaching in a different country would be a unique challenge that I was ready for. I pride myself on being adaptable in my teaching, and what better way to hone that skill than to teach in a different country? Even more, I believe that living abroad will give me the opportunity to become a better-rounded, culturally aware individual. I cannot wait to teach and learn from my students in England!
What made you chose a student teaching programme abroad?
I have always wanted to experience the adventure of living in another country. The amount of time that my student teaching placement requires feels like the perfect amount of time to spend abroad. Furthermore, this is a really great culminating experience to end my teacher education with. In my opinion, the more varied my teaching experience, the better teacher I become.
What were you most apprehensive about before going?
I have never been away from my family for this long, and I was nervous that I would miss my family and friends back home. I also knew I would be missing my commencement ceremony. However, I only have a few weeks left here and I feel like it's gone extremely fast. I actually wish I had a bit more time. Really enjoyed Student Teaching in the United Kingdom. My family came to visit, which was really nice. Also, I spent my commencement day taking an overnight ferry trip from Hull to Amsterdam with the fellow Educators Abroad Student Teacher participant that I am living with, so I was not at all upset about missing it.
What have you enjoyed most about your trip?
Getting to know my students here has been really enjoyable, and I've had the opportunity to travel to several cities and countries that I will never forget.
What surprised you the most on your trip?
I was surprised by the similarities I found between my students here in England and students I've taught in the US. I came to realize that kids are kids in every country. They have the same struggles, quirks, and goofy personalities.
Have you got one stand out experience you would like to share with us?
In school, my favourite experience has been attending assemblies to see and hear about the talents of our entire student body. I feel like I have become part of the school community and I enjoy everyone being in one place. Outside of school, my favourite experience was traveling to Edinburgh for a weekend. I fell in love with the city and met amazing people there.
What impressions did you take away from the country?
I may be generalizing, but I have found the people of England to be welcoming and proud while humorously self-deprecating. I never realized how much variation there is between the cities and counties within England. Everyone I meet tells me a new place I have to travel to, and every city I go to has a personality of its own.
What was the most unusual thing you ate/drank?
I had mutton in Scotland. At the time I had no idea what I was eating, but it was delicious.
What cultural learnings did you take away from your trip?
I learned that people tend to be very proud of their culture and the best way to learn about a new place is to immerse myself in it by communicating with the people who live there. Much of what I understand about England I learned by asking my fellow teachers questions. Much of what I learned about other countries I have visited was learned through conversations with locals.
What piece of advice would you give any prospective student teachers who are thinking about going abroad?
First, stop thinking and weighing pros and cons and just do it. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything. Second, be open-minded about where you may end up. I ended up teaching in a city that wouldn't have been my first choice, and I am so happy with where I live and the school I'm teaching in.
Would you recommend our services to others? if so, what was most useful to you?
Yes, I would. The process of getting placed in a school was so easy due to EducatorsAbroad student teaching's connections to the school that I'm teaching in. I don't know how else I could have arranged to teach here. I would definitely recommend Student Teaching in the United Kingdom.
If you would like to find out more about our services, such as Student Teaching in the United Kingdom, please do get in touch and one of our advisors will help.

Today's Horoscope by Rick Levine
You don't have the right to boss everyone around just because you think you know the best route to the top of the mountain. Remind yourself that there are many ways to get to the same place. Your ideas may work great for you, but they aren't necessarily sensible for someone else. Give up control around the outer edges of your life; you'll get more done and feel relieved in the process. Allowing the chance for others to think for themselves puts everyone on equal footing.

A lot of people have heard advice about vapor barriers and vapor retarders [5]. Many of them have walked away confused. A big part of the problem, I think, is that they've been told what to do — "Put it on the warm-in-winter side," or "Never use one" — but they haven't had the physics of what happens explained to them.
In this article, I'm not going to get into the details of vapor barriers or all the possible scenarios of different wall assemblies and moisture loads. I'm simply going to explain what happens in a wall cavity with and without a plastic vapor barrier installed.
I'm writing this article because one of our HERS raters came across a house in Charleston, South Carolina that had polyethylene under the drywall, on the interior side of the wall assembly. Polyethylene, often shortened to poly, is a Class I vapor retarder [5], which is usually what's meant by the term vapor barrier. If you're at all familiar with the climate in Charleston and understand moisture, you know that can't be a good thing.
I was there one day in June a few years ago and saw condensation on the outside of a window... at one o'clock in the afternoon of a sunny day. The dew point [6] of the outdoor air was 78° F. The window had a single pane of glass. They were running the air conditioner, so the indoor temperature was probably 75 or below. Humid air hits cool surface. Condensation results.

Questions and Answers About Air Barriers [12]
Q&A Spotlight: Vapor Barriers Redux [13]
Joe Lstiburek Discusses Basement Insulation and Vapor Retarders [14]
Joseph Lstiburek: Air Barrier or Vapor Barrier? [15]
Now, imagine that pane of glass is actually a sheet of polyethylene. Next, imagine that a layer of drywall separates the poly from the indoor air. Then build a wood-frame wall outside the poly, complete with claddingMaterials used on the roof and walls to enclose a house, providing protection against weather. and air permeable insulation in the cavities. Will that poly be protected from the outdoor humidity? Or will it, like the window I saw, be dripping with condensation?
If it's a typical wall, chances are good that water vapor in the outdoor air will find its way into the wall cavity, eventually finding the sheet of poly, pressed up against the drywall. If that wall allows outdoor air to infiltrate and the poly is below the dew point, condensation is the likely result. If those conditions last long enough, the condensed water will run down the poly, get the wood framing wet, and begin to rot out the wall.
The truth, however, is that the water vapor in the outdoor air is rarely the source of moisture that rots out a wall. More likely is that moisture from a wet foundation makes its way up into the wall by capillaryForces that lift water or pull it through porous materials, such as concrete. The tendency of a material to wick water due to the surface tension of the water molecules. action, or bulk water from leaks around openings gets into the wall cavity. The presence of an interior vapor barrier makes drying out the cavity harder to do, though.
Without poly beneath the drywall, water vapor hits the drywall and diffuses through to the drier (in summer) indoor air. By installing a sheet of poly there, you cut off that drying mechanism and water that finds its way into walls can stay there longer and do more damage.
In cold weather, a sheet of poly on the interior side of a wall probably won't cause any problems. The humid air is indoors, and the dry air is outdoors [16]. The sheet of poly still cuts off drying to the indoors, but it keeps the water vapor in the humid indoor air away from the cold surfaces inside the wall. This is what building scientists proposed as the solution for walls that wouldn't hold paint back in the early days of insulation [17]. It didn't solve the paint problem, though, because water vapor from the indoor air wasn't the main source of moisture.
Plastic on the outer surface of a wall in cold weather could cause problems. The humid air is indoors. The cool surface is the sheathingMaterial, usually plywood or oriented strand board (OSB), but sometimes wooden boards, installed on the exterior of wall studs, rafters, or roof trusses; siding or roofing installed on the sheathing—sometimes over strapping to create a rainscreen. , assuming no exterior insulation. If water vapor diffuses or infiltrates into the wall cavity and finds the cool surface, moisture problems can occur.
Of course, you can have moisture problems here even without the exterior vapor barrier because of what Bill Rose calls the rule of material wetting. That is, warm materials dry more quickly than cold materials. If humid air from indoors finds cold sheathing and starts accumulating there, the moisture will stay there longer because it's difficult to dry at low temperatures, even though the outdoor air is dry in terms of absolute humidity.
A vapor barrier can cause problems if it prevents drying to a drier space. In a building with air conditioning during hot humid weather, the drier space is indoors. The humid air is outdoors. Putting a vapor barrier on the inside, as we saw in Scenario 1 above, can lead to problems because any humid air that gets into the wall cavity is blocked from drying to the inside.
If the vapor barrier is on the outside, it prevents the humid air from diffusing into the wall cavity and finding the cold surface on the other side of the cavity, the back side of the drywall. So, like a vapor barrier on the inner surface in cold weather, putting one on the outer surface in hot weather isn't likely to have a moisture problem due to vapor diffusion. It doesn't mean you won't have a moisture problem, though, because moisture can get into the walls by means other than diffusion.
We can summarize the vapor barrier issue like this:
If you're in a place like Miami, where it'll almost never be colder outdoors than indoors, a Class I vapor retarder on the outer surface of a wall assembly may be OK. If you're in Maine and never use an air conditioner, a Class I vapor retarder on the inner surface may be OK. If you're in a cold climate, however, and do use air conditioning, you need to be careful with interior vapor barriers like polyethylene. You could be creating the kind of problems I described in Scenario 1 above.
If designers and builders want buildings to do their jobs properly and not fail prematurely, it's important to understanding moisture. We know now that mid-twentieth century building science incorrectly ascribed magical properties to vapor barriers. Water vapor from indoor air wasn't the source of most moisture problems. Bulk water from deficiencies in drainage planes [18], flashing, and other moisture management details caused most of the problems.
Building science has progressed since then. We know that vapor barriers can cause problems, but we still have homes like the one in Charleston with poly in the walls. And we have $4 million dollar homes with poly on the walls, too. I saw the one shown in the photo below when Martin Holladay came to Atlanta last year. The photo was taken in the basement, and the kneewalls in the attic also were covered with poly.
Our understanding now is that it's generally more important for wall assemblies to be able to dry than it is to block water vapor with materials like polyethylene. In most cases, you're fine with the vapor retarding ability of the materials already in your walls, and you don't need to use Class I vapor retarders.
Here's what Bill Rose wrote in his book, Water in Buildings [19]: "Given the fact that a very small percentage of building problems (1 to 5% at most in the author's experience) are associated with wetting by water vapor diffusion, the argument for enhanced drying potential becomes much stronger."
In other words, the potential for creating problems is greater when you use Class I vapor barriers that prevent drying, so be absolutely certain you need one before going that route.

See, Maxwell was right. Space contains ether. We just never figured out how to measure it.
Filed under: TransportationNo doubt we've seen our fair share of electric speedsters that can actually oust the more exotic (albeit fuel-powered) counterparts in off the line speed, but Hybrid Technologies' L1X-75 can rocket you from zero to sixty in a mere 3.1 oh-so-silent seconds. The 600-horsepower machine is crafted from a carbon-fiber frame, sports no luxurious amenities such as sheep skin floor mats, umbrellas in the boot, or even an AM radio, and can purportedly hit a top speed of around 175 miles-per-hour. Additionally, the eye-catching ride sports a 10,000 rpm redline, and the Li-ion-powered induction motors get all the juice it needs from your AC outlet. Unfortunately, there was no mention of when we'd see these sneaking into dealerships, but if you'll hit the read link below, you'll encounter a test drive video that shows off its fuel-shunning pizazz.

MARINA WILLIAMS purchased this villa in 2002
Love the melon and Halloumi for breakfast!Love the cool mornings and cool evenings even in the hottest Summer! Love to be able to watch the kids in the pool whilst drinking Brandy sours!
This Villa was accurately described and in a lovely idyllic location for a quiet peaceful family holiday. It was clean and well maintained, with all the comforts of home; very large cooker, fridge freezer, large BBQ and dish washer. There is no air conditioning but you quickly get used to it and the house actually remains very cool all day, despite the very high temperatures and cloudless days! The salt filtered swimming pool was refreshingly clean and well maintained - such a pleasant change from chlorine. The local supermarket in the village is good for essentials, but there is a large well stocked supermarket within a 10-15 minute drive. A hire car is essential, and one with a bit of power to get up and down the hills to the village, and beyond. We used a SatNav with European maps, but be careful of short cuts, which end up as dirt tracks! The local restaurants in the village are good, especially for a traditional mezi. We thoroughly enjoyed out stay here, and would not only highly recommend it to friends and family, but we would love to return. Thank you
The directions was precise and easy to find upon arrival, even in the evening when we first arrived. It is a beautiful villa, set in beautiful surroundings and gardens. The house is spacious and wonderfully thought throughout, with all essentials available. There was not one thing that we needed and it was not available. A pool that was well maintained throughout our stay. We was initially worried that it does not have A/C, but it does not need it, the villa does have ceiling fans, but we found this was sufficient as it has a lovely breeze in the bedrooms and downstairs. Wifi connection was great too, to be able to skype family and friends back home.
Peaceful and tranquil location, giving you wonderful village experience, with such friendly locals. There is a local village shop which has all your essentials, with a local supermarket which is only a 10 minute drive. Great friendly restaurants, with delicious food. A beautiful monastery just down the down.
It is a beautiful villa and would like to thank the owners for making our stay comfortable. Definitely be looking at booking again!
We had an incredible holiday and loved our stay in Anogyra. The villa, it's incredible facilities, it's beautiful well thought out layout and the superb hospitality of the owners with every imaginable detail accounted for, enhanced our holiday and enabled us to kick back, relax and thoroughly enjoy our stay.
The house is as described in the listing and has all the facilities required for a comfy stay. It is modern, clean and well maintained. Eight of us (four adults and four kids) have staid there for a week and all of us felt at ease in it. It is conveniently located in between Paphos, Limassol and the Troodos (mountainous area), off the touristic roads in a typical village. The owner was nice and understanding and answered any queries promptly. I would definitely recommend this house to a friend or relative.
The house is as described in the listing and provides for everything you might need during a week stay.

In spite of many concerns, in particular the European debt crisis, the markets have been climbing a wall of worry. Oil has remained surprisingly resilient, hovering around the $100 per barrel level. Even when the stock market corrected and the world seemed as if it was falling apart, oil continued to show relative strength. Oil has probably been boosted by the massive amount of money printing that central bankers have engaged in for a while. Easy money policies tend to create investor demand for hard assets like gold and oil because governments can't print those assets like they can print money.
Recent economic data from Germany, China and the United States indicates that the global economy might not be in as bad of shape as many have expected. Factory orders in Germany and China are showing strength and the U.S. is seeing improvement in the unemployment rate. All of this could indicate that oil is poised to rise over the next few years, and that means that most oil stocks are probably not going significantly lower. Many oil stocks are still trading well below the 52 week highs and offer investors a chance for large gains as soon as the economy starts firing on all cylinders. Once the economy begins to show consistent strength, oil is likely to trade sustainably over $125 per barrel. Here are a few oil stocks, trading below $20 per share, that are poised to double over the next couple of years:
Weatherford International, Ltd. (NYSE:WFT) provides maintenance services and equipment for the oil and gas industry. Analysts expect revenues and profits to surge in the coming year with revenues potentially jumping from about $12.85 billion to around $15.17 billion in 2012. Earnings are expected to soar from 86 cents per share in 2011 to about $1.54 in 2012. This stock looks undervalued based on growth and also on book value, which is $13.09 per share. Weatherford is based in Switzerland and the company has a solid balance sheet. In 2008, this stock traded for about $50 per share. When oil gets past $125 per barrel, this stock could easily trade for about $35 per share-- which would be just about double from current levels, and yet still way below the 2008 high.
Here are some key points for WFT:
- Current share price: $17.61
- The 52 week range is $10.85 to $26.25
- Earnings estimates for 2011: 86 cents per share
- Earnings estimates for 2012: $1.54 per share
- Annual dividend: none
Key Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE:KEG) is based in Texas and provides services such as maintenance, drilling, etc., to the oil and gas industry. This company is expected to see fast growth with revenues estimates coming in at $1.86 billion for 2011, and rising to about $2.35 billion for 2012. Rising revenues are expected to boost profits to around $1.63 per share for 2012. This gives the stock a very reasonable price to earnings ratio of less than 10 times earnings. The company has a solid balance sheet and the book value is $7.60 per share. Key Energy shares have been in an uptrend since October, so buying on dips continues to make sense.
Here are some key points for KEG:
- Current share price: $15.19
- The 52 week range is $8.27 to $20.77
- Earnings estimates for 2011: 95 cents per share
- Earnings estimates for 2012: $1.63 per share
- Annual dividend: none
Nabors Industries, Ltd. (NYSE:NBR) is based in Bermuda and it provides land drilling, fracking, engineering, transportation and other services to the oil and gas industry. Analysts expect strong growth with 2011 revenue estimates at about $6.13 billion jumping to around $7.41 billion. Profits are also expected to surge about 50% in 2012 as well. This stock traded at about $50 per share in 2008, and as the price of oil strengthens over the next couple of years, this stock should be able to double to the $40 level, which would still be significantly below the all time high.
Here are some key points for NBR:
- Current share price: $19.60
- The 52 week range is $11.05 to $32.47
- Earnings estimates for 2011: $1.46 per share
- Earnings estimates for 2012: $2.26 per share
- Annual dividend: none
Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (MHR) is an oil and gas exploration company seeing major growth. It recently announced that production surged over 400% in the fourth quarter and it raised guidance for 2012, to about 15,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Magnum has high-potential projects in located in the Marcellus and Eagle Ford Shale areas and in West Virginia, North Dakota, Texas, and Louisiana as well. This stock is in an uptrend, so buying on dips when the market or oil prices correct should continue to reward investors. This stock has already doubled of the recent lows, but with the type of growth it is seeing, it is just a matter of time before it can double again.
Here are some key points for MHR:
- Current share price: $6.45
- The 52 week range is $2.33 to $8.66
- Earnings estimates for 2011: a loss of 15 cents per share
- Earnings estimates for 2012: a profit of 7 cents per share
- Annual dividend: none
Kodiak Oil & Gas Corp. (NYSE:KOG) is a Colorado-based oil and gas exploration and development company. This company is developing projects in Bakken shale-rich areas such as the Williston Basin in Montana and North Dakota. It also has natural gas projects in Wyoming and Colorado. This company recently announced that production in the fourth quarter surged about 500%. Kodiak also expects strong growth in 2012 with production estimated at about 22,000 and 24,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Buying Kodiak shares on dips is paying off and the stock remains in a solid uptrend. Based on revenue and production growth, this stock could double in the next year or two.
Here are some key points for KOG:
- Current share price: $8.84
- The 52 week range is $3.59 to $10.41
- Earnings estimates for 2011: 22 cents per share

Abraxas Petroleum Corporation (NASDAQ:AXAS) is a Texas-based independent oil and gas exploration and production company. Abraxas has projects located in Alberta, Canada and the Rocky Mountains, Permian Basin, and Gulf Coast areas.
This is another small but fast-growing oil company. Analysts expect revenues to surge from about $70 million in 2011 to around $105 million in 2012. That's about 50% growth in just one year, so it's easy to see how Abraxas shares could double in value in the next couple years, especially if oil rises above $125 per barrel.
Here are some key points for AXAS:
- Current share price: $3.99
- The 52 week range is $1.86 to $6.16

A tool referred to as the "Quality Life Cycle" provides a strategic mechanism to chart and sustain quality while proactively countering shortcomings of its implementation, such as stagnation and limited application, which can ultimately result in failure.
All the remodelers out there who thought that the EPA RRP lead paint rules weren't going to be enforced may want to think again.
There are many ways to determine how successful a process or project is. These methods normally involve detailed metrics and may include cycle-time reduction, number of process steps and customer satisfaction.
Lead paint continues to be getting a lot of buzz, what with the NAHB's lawsuit against EPA, the first fine coming down last week and more.
Here's my video update on the latest developments. We'll also have more on lead paint in the June issue of Professional Remodeler, mailing soon.
At a time when the housing industry is facing a severe glut of inventory, depressed real-estate values, tighter lending standards, and a lethargic path toward recovery, it seems ludicrous to even mention the terms "lot" and "shortage" in sequence.
As the broad range of topics discussed in this blog clearly shows, Quality Management involves a wide range of issues. Perhaps the National Housing Quality Award criteria best reflects this.
So for all those remodelers who thought there was no reason to follow the EPA's lead RRP rules?
Yeah, you might want to think about that again.
We all have a long list of improvement projects we would like to work on. The problem is picking which to focus on now and which to leave until later, it is all about the resources available. This is a simple tool to help prioritize.
While we've spent the better part of the past four years analyzing just how dramatically the housing market has changed during the great bubble burst — shrinking home sizes, historically low housing starts, the glut of foreclosures, more-stringent mortgage requirements, and even the threat of the
The purchasing decisions we make every day aren't about logic. We're constantly making emotional decisions to buy or not buy something, whether it be a candy bar, an iPad or a new car.
First off, most companies mix up 360 reviews and employee reviews. 360 reviews involve feedback from peers, superiors, and those the employee manages or that work with him or her at a lower level. This provides a well-rounded (360-degree) perspective.
Missed our recent webinar with Rich Harshaw on "Micro-Marketing Strategies for Remodelers: How Narrowing Your Prospect List Can Increase Your Results"?
You can check out the archive here.
Theory of Constraints is based on the premise that the rate of achievement is limited by at least one constraining process. Only by increasing flow through the constraint can overall throughput be increased.
Assuming the goal of the organization has been established then the steps are:
New-home sales guru and Professional Builder columnist Bob Schultz is conducting a free sales and marketing webinar tomorrow at 2 pm EDT, titled "Bootstrap Sales and Marketing for Builders."
The use of Evenflow for construction scheduling can revolutionize a builders business. Perhaps one of the biggest problems is that builders assume it can only be used if your building 300 homes per year minimum. That's wrong. Its about using a disciplined scheduling system.
I recently talked to remodeler David Merrick, president of Merrick Design & Build, outside of Washington, D.C.
Several of us at Professional Builder are traveling the country this spring, speaking at The Pro Expos presented by Pella. The events are being held in 30 cities.
There two key things needed to really help start on the quality journey or to become refreshed on your journey.
The April 2011 issue of Professional Builder features our latest report on the adoption of building information modeling (BIM) and 3D design tools in the home-building market.
Five major national energy home building programs, Energy Star, LEED for Homes, Environments for Living, Building Americas Builders Challenge and the National Green Building Standard all have as a core element of their programs the use of the Blower Door Test (ASTM Standard E1827).

Recent reviews
Good 3.8 /5 from 71 reviews
It's good
This is a basic hotel with no frills. They had a good breakfast.
This hotel is one we use every time we visit. Its good value for money, the staff are very friendly and helpful. We use the bakeries in town for breakfast because it is a cheap, easy and tasty option. We have never used the restaurant so can't comment on it. Parking is a bit expensive but very secure.
We stayed in the Mercure Hotel for three nights while traveling through Germany. Having read the other travellers reviews we were a little bit worried about the railway track noise coming from the nearby railway station that other guests have mentioned. I can only say that the noise didn't bother us to much as the hotel was rather empty while we were there, and we sort of accepted it, having preferred this kind of noise over a noisy guests! Should we stayed in the hotel during a colder weather with the windows shut it wouldn't be an issue at all. The most important was that the hotel was really clean, modern, very comfortable, and centrally located. What's more, there was a good quality Bosch tea/coffee machine provided in the room together with a large bottle of a quality local mineral water supplied every day, which was a nice touch. There is also an underground parking space for the car should anyone need it. If I ever return to Bad Oeynhausen I am certainly going to stay in Mercure hotel again. P.S. Have I mentioned the best quality crisp bed sheets?

EVOLVE 16 iPPV: Fish vs. Davis Review
EVOLVE 16: Fish vs. Davis on June 30th, 2012
Lenny Leonard announces that the show is going to start with some bad news and introduces Johnny Gargano. His doctors have not medically cleared him to wrestle tonight. Gargano apologizes to the fans. Tony Nese interrupts and he is not a happy camper. He accuses Gargano of "milking" his back injury. Gargano promises him that he's going to find a way to wrestle tonight.
Opening Match: Caleb Konley and Scott Reed (3-0) vs. Kennedy Kendrick and Damian Angel (0-0)
Angel snaps off a headscissors on Konley and does the same to Reed. He connects with a leg lariat on Reed. Kendrick misses a baseball slide and gets caught by a boot from Konley. The Scene isolate him until he connects with a superkick on Reed and makes the tag. Angel can't get much offense going. Kendrick falls victim to stereo superkicks. The Scene hit Obscene on Angel for the win at 4:54. Based on their record, the Scene should be contenders for the Open the United Gate Titles but they haven't really faced any worthwhile team except for CIMA and Masaaki Mochizuki earlier this year. Kendrick and Angel didn't receive enough offense to excite the crowd and this match just plodded along for the five minutes. *½
Match #2: Style Battle Tournament Match: AR Fox (4-3) vs. Tommy Taylor (0-2)
Taylor attempts to ground Fox early on. Fox gets pushed to the floor while looking for a springboard. Taylor connects with a few uppercuts and takes control with a nice blockbuster-neckbreaker combination. Fox comes back with a springboard dropkick followed by a slingshot dropkick. He matrixes to avoid a lariat and connects with an enzuigiri. Taylor avoids a springboard 450 and hits a half nelson suplex. He adds a TKO for a nearfall. Taylor goes up top but Fox catches him with a sunset bomb from the middle rope for the victory at 8:16. I think Taylor looked more impressive here than he did in his previous two matches this weekend. He showcased some new offense and worked well with Fox. They were just getting started before the finish and I would be interested to see what they could do with more time. **½
After the match, Fox tells Lenny Leonard that high-flying is his specialty. Lince Dorado enters the ring and tells everyone that he's tired of being overlooked. He challenges Fox to a match…right now! The crowd goes crazy and we're on…
Match #3: AR Fox (5-3) vs. Lince Dorado (1-1)
Dorado connects with a superkick and hits a tiger suplex. Fox responds with a stunner and bicycle kicks Dorado to the floor. Fox follows out with a dive along with his kick-flip moonsault. He hits a guillotine leg drop from the top rope. In the ring, Dorado lands a moonsault and hits a senton from the middle rope. Fox retreats to the floor where he's taken out by a springboard corkscrew plancha. Fox then takes a seat but Fox wipes him out with yet another dive. Back in, Fox hits a rolling death valley driver but finds knees on a swantan attempt. Both men are down. They exchange strikes and Fox connects with a slingshot dropkick. He hits a shooting star cannonball in the corner for a nearfall. Dorado snaps off a hurricanrana from the top rope and hits a flipping DDT. He kind of hits a shooting star leg drop and follows with a moonsault from the middle rope to compensate. The crowd doesn't seem to mind. Fox crotches Dorado on the top rope and hits Lo Mein Pain for the win at 11:22. Call me a buzzkill, but I've seen Fox have much better matches that proceeded in a similar way as this showcase (mainly on CZW undercards). The action was solid in that they attempted some pretty intricate aerial maneuvers and everything went according to plan except for the shooting star leg drop. My discontent for this match is difficult to explain, but I just wasn't losing my mind like everyone in the crowd. I will say that Dorado should have opened some eyes this weekend and I hope this isn't the last we see of him in EVOLVE. ***
Match #4: Alex Reynolds and John Silver (0-1) vs. Mike Cruz and Cheech (0-1)
Silver and Cruz have a nice exchange, showing their familiarity with each other. Reynolds and Silver connect with stereo basement dropkicks on Cruz. Cheech snaps off a headscissors on Reynolds, who retreats to the floor. Cheech follows with double knees from the apron. Silver lands a dive to the floor onto Cheech and Cruz adds a dive of his own. In the ring, Cheech hits a slingshot senton on Reynolds. Cruz follows with a flying crossbody. Cheech gets Silver in a gory special and Reynolds in a pendulum at the same time. Reynolds and Silver lay in a barrage of strikes on Cheech and isolate him. He blocks a hurricanrana from Silver, hits a sit-out facebuster, and makes the tag. Cruz connects with a springboard gamengiri on Reynolds. Silver superkicks Cruz into a stunner from Reynolds. Cheech hits a pumphandle slam on Silver but runs into a double stomp. Cheech responds with a facewash dropkick. Cruz lands a springboard frog splash onto Reynolds for a nearfall. Silver hits a half nelson suplex on Cruz. Reynolds and Silver follow with a double team wheelbarrow slam for the victory at 13:03. I am shocked. These were four guys that I had absolutely zero interest in coming into this weekend and they put on a great little match for its place on the card. Despite the fact that neither team has been together for very long, each team actually came off like a legitimate duo. The action wasn't as flashy as Fox/Dorado, but there were some double team moves and exchanges that I'd never seen before. I think this match will surprise a lot of people, especially if they were expecting something like the opener. ***¼
Match #5: Jake Manning (1-3) vs. Blain Rage (0-0)
Rage connects with a basement dropkick and Manning takes some time to look over his manual. The crowd chants "girl scout" at him. Rage misses a charge and drives his own shoulder into the ringpost. Manning hits a back suplex and takes over. Rage escapes a neckbreaker and connects with an enzuigiri. He hurricanranas Manning from the middle rope and connects with a missile dropkick for a nearfall. Manning sneaks in a rollup while holding Rage's tights for the win at 7:37. This contest served its purpose by giving the crowd a breather after two high-energy matches. They kept the action fairly basic but the match worked just fine. Also, I support any opportunity for Manning to pick up a victory. **
Match #6: Johnny Gargano (6-4) vs. Tony Nese (2-3)
Nese neutralizes most of Gargano's offense until he finds himself in an early Gargano Escape, which he quickly escapes. Gargano hits a flatliner into the middle turnbuckle along with a neckbreaker. Nese gets clotheslined to the floor. He trips Gargano on the apron and Gargano lands back-first across the apron. Nese rams Gargano back-first into the apron. Nese connects with a springboard lariat in the ring and takes control with a backbreaker. Gargano blocks a second springboard lariat attempt and hits a flatliner. He follows with his slingshot spear an applies an octopus hold in the ropes. Nese tries a hurricanrana but gets powerbombed. Gargano lands a dive to the floor. Back in, Nese misses a lionsault and falls victim to a slingshot DDT. Nese hurricanranas Gargano from the middle rope. They trade punches and kicks ending with Gargano connecting with a discus lariat. Both men are down. Gargano blocks a dead-lift german suplex and lawn darts Nese into the turnbuckles. Nese hits a one-arm bucklebomb and connects with a facewash knee strike. Gargano responds with a superkick. Nese shrugs off a reverse hurricanrana and hits a dead-lift german suplex for a nearfall. Gargano falls victim to a spider german suplex. Nese finds knees on a 450 attempt. Gargano hits Hurts Donut and applies the Gargano Escape for the victory at 14:58. Gargano and Nese got this match over through sheer power of will. I thought the point of this match was for Nese to brutalize Gargano's back, only for Gargano to squeak out the win. Although Gargano's back injury was forgotten about in the second half of the match, they still got their point across through some great back and forth action. Nese truly brought the fight to Gargano here and the result was a strong match with both men coming out of the contest for the better. ***½
Match #7: Chuck Taylor (9-3) vs. Samuray Del Sol (1-3)
Del Sol snaps off a headscissors. Taylor cartwheels out of an armdrag and tries a quick pin attempt to no avail. Del Sol back handsprings into another headscissors and teases a dive. He takes down Taylor with an armdrag and looks for an early armbar. Taylor screams his way to the ropes. Del Sol misses double knees and Taylor takes control with a back suplex. Del Sol fights back with a standing sliced bread. Taylor traps him in a headscissors but he's able to reach the bottom rope. Del Sol hits a tornado DDT and lands a dive to the floor. Back in, Taylor blocks a springboard hurricanrana and hits a sit-out powerbomb. Del Sol answers with a code red. He goes up top but Taylor suplexes him to the canvas. Del Sol dodges a top rope moonsault and hits a reverse hurricanrana for the win at 12:55. I wasn't expecting this match to reach the level of Del Sol's encounters against El Generico, but there was still something missing from this contest. The crowd has been vocal for the entire show thus far but even they weren't reacting very strongly to the action. However, it was nice to see Taylor showcase his ability to work the lucha style, which is something he doesn't get to do very often in DGUSA and EVOLVE. Much like Fox/Dorado, although I wasn't blown away by this match, it was still enjoyable and worth rewatching. ***
Match #8: Style Battle Tournament Finals: Bobby Fish (5-4) vs. Jon Davis (3-3)
They trade control on the mat until Fish connects with a dropkick. He hits a slingshot senton and lays in a series of kicks. Davis halts his momentum with a powerslam and starts showcasing his power offense. Davis hits a delayed vertical suplex and takes control. Fish avoids a moonsault from the middle rope and connects with a knockout kick. Fish misses a moonsault but lands on his feet. He takes out Davis with a plancha. In the ring, Fish connects with a diving headbutt and hits a dragon screw leg whip. Davis fires back with a roaring forearm and a lariat. Fish applies a cross armbreaker but Davis quickly reaches the ropes. Davis catches Fish off-guard with a dead-lift german suplex. Fish kicks away at the injured left leg but gets elevated into a slam. Davis locks in a boston crab but Fish reverses into the Fish Hook. Davis is able to reach the bottom rope. Fish misses a knee strike and falls victim to Three Seconds Around the World for a nearfall. Fish recovers with an exploder into the turnbuckles. They battle up top and Fish hits a superplex from the middle rope. Davis avoids a charge and hits a bucklebomb. He pounces Fish and connects with a lariat. Davis hits another Three Seconds Around the World to win the Style Battle Tournament at 16:20. There have been a few matches throughout the tournament (Fox/Fish and Fox/Davis) that have really put over the strategy that is involved with a wrestler's style and this match was another one of them. Davis found success when he would rely on his power offense but any deviation from the power game would give Fish the advantage. They told that story incredibly well and this match came awfully close to topping Fox/Fish as the best match of the tournament. I'm hoping for Davis to get a shot at Johnny Gargano on the next set of EVOLVE shows. ***½
Lenny Leonard congratulates Davis on winning the Style Battle Tournament. Davis says that he wants an EVOLVE title and that the title belongs around his waist. Let's all take a moment to remember that Johnny Gargano and the Open the Freedom Gate Title exist. Davis thanks the crowd to end the show.
Overall: A quick look at the star ratings should tell you that EVOLVE 16 is worth a replay or DVD purchase. The card was consistent and this show more than any other this weekend highlighted the depth of the roster. I'm still partial towards EVOLVE 14, but this show was not too far behind. Next, EVOLVE should be commended for a great weekend of events. Although attendance might not be where it should, the in-ring quality has been high and the promotion is rolling along in 2012. Additionally, the Style Battle Tournament worked much better over multiple nights than the one-night format from last year. In fact, it's a concept that I hope EVOLVE tries out next year as well. Overall, EVOLVE 16 was a strong show that closed out a weekend of them.

Bank of America Lays Groundwork
Q&A: Bank of America's Dave Wright says SPF authentication and SiteKey will help stop e-fraud.Although future server-to-server authentication and authorization dominated the discussion at the recent Inbox conference, Bank of America Corp., based in Charlotte, N.C., is moving ahead now with technologies that make it easier for customers to recognize legitimate messages from the bank using Sender Policy Framework authentication. Use of the SPF authentication scheme, combined with Bank of Americas SiteKey Web site authentication technology, means the banks customers will likely be among the first consumers to get help in ensuring they are doing business with the intended entity and not a fraudulent Web site.
The banks use of SPF authentication and SiteKey will help customers recognize legitimate e-mail and Web sites, confounding identity theft and phishing schemes.

Does it seem like Google is destined to compete with everyone? Yahoo and Microsoft, sure - we've known that game is on. But now, Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), too?
Google has been talking with book publishers about delivering digital downloads. Amazon already sells e-books while Apple's taken baby steps by supporting delivery of PDFs through its iTunes Store.
Make Magazine has published "The complete guide to PDF's in iTunes," in which publishers who offer PDF's are profiled. They include, besides Make, Fader magazine, SkyMaul, some Rick Steves enhanced podcasts (photos and slides), and Slate.com for its tour maps of DC.
But the "complete guide" isn't complete. A search on iTunes for PDF's turns up many more offerings, including copies of Podcast User magazine, Kostenloser's guides, and BMW Group Investor Relations.
I'm not faulting Make. Its article is a good starting point to encourage more interest in the idea of using the Net for distribution of books and articles. Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE) is certainly supportive. It created the PDF format and its Acrobat Reader has become the standard tool for reading the files. The latest version of Adobe Acrobat 8.0, the PDF-creation software, generates what are being called PDFcasts which include bundles of documents. One use would be creating PDF's about a company's customers. The files could be distributed to salespeople on the road so that everybody has the same information.
Publishers are described as wary in their talks with Google. Nobody expects PDF distribution of best sellers to become a big business soon. But niche publishers, like Make and DailyFrenchPod, are incorporating PDF files into their businesses now. It's already happening.
Disclaimer: I own shares of Apple (AAPL) and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG).
