Now-a-days, everyone seems to cut costs by purchasing generic brands, skipping take-out, and opting for the sale rack. There's nothing wrong with frugal shopping habits, but some products are worth the high price-tag. Quality products that work well and last long aid in long term saving and spending. Don't waste your precious cash on flimsy back-packs year after year, when you could buy a Jansport that will last you a life time. Stop losing savings on poorly-made products, here are the five quality products you should spend more money on.
1. A Dependable Winter Coat
A well made winter coat will last you years and save you hundreds. There's no reason to skimp out on a quality coat just to save a few bucks. More than likely, that cheap coat won't last through the brutal winter and you'll have to fork over another wad of cash for a brand new one come next December. Purchasing an expensive, durable winter coat is worth every penny in the long run.
2. A Quality Mattress
Don't sacrifice your precious sleep for a lumpy box-spring bed. A good mattress may dabble in the thousands when it comes to price, but a good night's rest is a necessity for humans to function at our best. A quality, well crafted mattress will provide you with decades of sweet sleep. Save up and invest in a Tempur Pedic memory-foam mattress or the mattress of your choice. You'll save thousands over time by choosing a fantastic place to sleep soundly.
3. Durable Shoes
I can't stress this one enough. A reliable pair of sneakers and a tough pair of boots are positively worth a hefty price-tag. Do some research before you purchase a new pair of shoes to determine if they're really worth the cash. A solid pair of shoes should last you a couple years of every day use and provide you with top level comfort. Pick yourself up a pair of Doc Martin's and you'll never have to buy another pair of boots for ages.
4. Fresh and Healthy Food
We tend to take food for granted when we consider quality. But, you'll notice a change in your health once you switch to more organic and fresh ingredients. There's nothing wrong with generic brand cereal, but if you can spare the extra cash consider spending it on some more nutritious food for you and your family. It's frustrating that a box of CoCo Puffs is cheaper than healthier alternatives, but it's important to take initiative and make nutrition a long term priority.
5. Reliable Skin Care Products
Beauty products, moisturizers, scrubs, and soaps prove pretty pricy these days. But, products from Aveeno and Dove, while expensive, last quite awhile and show some spectacular results. Don't skimp on the skin care products. Cheaper products usually mean poor results. Save time and money by buying quality brands.

text: Phil Kabler: Drug cost estimate raises eyebrows December 14, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Ted Cheatham, executive director of the state Public Employees Insurance Agency, had stayed out of the headlines of late. That's what happens when you manage a health insurance plan that's going into it's third straight year without a premium increase.However, that changed last week when Cheatham was asked at a legislative interim committee meeting to discuss what impact proposed legislation to make antihistamines containing pseudoephedrine available by prescription only would have on PEIA's expenses.Cheatham raised eyebrows when he told legislators PEIA actuaries advised the cost could run about $4.3 million a year -- $500,000 for costs of the prescriptions, and $3.8 million for the increase in visits to doctor's offices.Those of us who look at lots of fiscal notes know that, historically, the default mode for many agency heads is worst-case scenario. (Most famous was the $1.5 billion Department of Education fiscal note for a bill to require daily physical education classes for all students, which assumed the need to build new gyms and athletic fields at all schools.)In fact, Cheatham subsequently said the cost estimate assumes the Legislature not only made Sudafed prescription-only, but also made it a Class II controlled drug, with 30-day, unrefillable prescriptions, requiring separate doctor's visits for each 30-day supply.However, as House Health and Human Resources Chairman Don Perdue, D-Wayne, points out, none of the variations of bills to make pseudoephedrine prescription-only would make it a Schedule II controlled substance.The version that's gotten the farthest (HB2946), which passed the House in the 2011 regular session, and died on a dramatic 16-16 tie in the Senate, would have made it a Class III drug. (Then-Senate President Earl Ray Tomblin was acting as governor at the time, and did not vote, and then-Sen. Walt Helmick took a pass to attend a grandson's birthday lunch.) That classification, Perdue notes, would have permitted a 30-day prescription with up to five refills, meaning a maximum of two doctor's office visits a year, not 12.(PEIA's fiscal note on the 2011 bill estimated costs as high as $800,000, but probably closer to $400,000, presuming that many cold and allergy suffers would opt for an over-the-counter alternative rather than going to the doc for a Sudafed script.)I was privy to some email exchanges between Perdue and Cheatham on the issue, including this one from Cheatham:"Again, I must reiterate as I did in the committee meeting, this was the first response from the actuary. It is indeed a worse case, conservative scenario. We have not looked at a bill or the refill issue. I just explained the assumptions the actuary used to create these numbers. I would be happy to have the actuary model the scenarios you foresee. Please share your thoughts on needed physician visits and refill guidelines and we will run the scenarios." ***While lobbyists for Big Pharma will make hay over how unfair it is to make law-abiding citizens visit the doctor to get a pseudoephedrine prescription, one issue not mentioned is that folks taking Sudafed on a daily basis for extended periods of time most likely have chronic conditions that do require a physician's attention.The package of over-the-counter antihistamine I have sitting at home, for instance, advises seeing a doctor if symptoms persist for two weeks.Perdue, a pharmacist by trade, speaks from personal experience. He said he had chronic sinus congestion which he self-treated for years with Afrin. "Had I simply seen an EENT (eye, ear, nose and throat specialist) early on, the symptoms of Wegener's disease, which often starts with sinus issues, may have been noted much sooner, and I mightn't have had peripheral neuropathy and other things today," he said. ***Finally, as you may know, one of my joys in life is to get the word "ironically" in print -- particularly if I can misuse it for "coincidentally."However, "ironically" would be an entirely appropriate word Thursday, when the state Ethics Commission violated the state Open Meetings Act by failing to post public notice of the commission meeting, and of its Open Government Committee meeting (which, ironically, deals with issues regarding compliance with the open meetings law) in the online State Register.The commission has had a lot of staff turnover of late, and the posting of the meeting notices slipped everyone's attention. That means a lot of do-over votes when the commission next meets, in February, since none of the actions taken Thursday can be official.Coincidentally, the lack of public notice meant I missed the debut of former secretary of state Betty Ireland as a commissioner, and no doubt, she'll be a strong -- and outspoken -- addition to that panel. Other new members appointed by Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin in time for the December meeting were Marie Redd, a former Democratic state senator from Cabell County; Michael Greer, a former Republican delegate from Harrison County (and former original member of the Ethics Commission, now on a second tour of duty); and Moundsville resident Suzan Singleton, a member of the West Virginia Municipal League.

Grad student discovers new form of lava flow on Mars
April 26, 2012
High-resolution photos of lava flows on Mars reveal coiling spiral patterns that resemble snail or nautilus shells. Such patterns have been found in a few locations on Earth, but never before on Mars. The discovery, made by Arizona State University graduate student Andrew Ryan, is announced in a paper published April 27, 2012, in the scientific journal Science.
The new result came out of research into possible interactions of lava flows and floods of water in the Elysium volcanic province of Mars.

RECYCLING - No changes for recycling in the month of JUNE
YARD WASTE/GRASS/LEAVES - No changes for yard waste/grass/leaves for the month of JUNE
Yard waste/grass needs to be in a container that can be easily
dumped. Do not use paper or plastic bags. Please make sure
there is NO garbage mixed in with yard waste. Containers with
garbage mixed in will not be picked up.
We offer BOROUGH WIDE weekly recycling pick up of ALL recyclable materials EVERY Thursday. This curbside pick up will include co-mingled glass, plastics, paper, and cardboard. Residents should be aware that the following co-mingled recyclables are accepted: aluminum cans (beer & soda), plastic bottles, jars, tubs, and buckets #1 through #7 (this includes soda, water, milk, juice, liquor, shampoo, detergent, condiments, salad dressing, yogurt, margarine, pet food, etc.),clear, brown, green glass bottles/jars (food and drink only), metal food cans (tin/steel), metal lids, metal pots and metal pans. Please empty containers prior to placing them out for pick up. Recyclables should be put in an old garbage can or other sturdy container. DO NOT place in bags! Plastic grocery store bags can be returned to the store for recycling.
We CANNOT accept ceramic cups or dishes, coffee mugs, Pyrex, glasses, light bulbs or windows. Newspaper includes all sections of the newspaper (including ads), magazines, telephone books, mail (including junk mail) and regular paper.
If you miss a collection or two and really need to empty your bins, Whitehall Township does allow Coplay residents to bring their items to their recycling center at 2600 Eberhart Road.
This service is another way to keep solid waste tonnage down. Leaves and yard waste can be quite heavy. By offering this separate pickup we are able to keep it out of our landfills thus keeping fees down. Yard Waste/Grass is picked up on Friday (April through October) and should also be placed in an open container no heavier than 50 lbs (weight deemed safe for one individual to lift). Containers exceeding this limit will NOT be collected. Leaves are picked up on Fridays (October and November). Check the newsletter calendar for collection dates!
Whether it is in an effort to save energy or reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, many people have made the switch to CFL bulbs. Qualified CFL bulbs use up to 75% LESS energy then incandescent light bulbs and last up to 10 times longer! While this is an effective, accessible change anyone can make, you should know that CFL bulbs contain a very small amount of mercury, sealed within the glass tubing; because of this, they should be recycled. Please bring CFL bulbs to the borough office for proper disposal, there is NO additional fee for this service.
Once a year, in the spring, a trailer is furnished by La Farge for our annual Borough wide tire drop off. While there is a limit of 6 tires per household; this is a free service for all residents. Tires from automobiles, pick-up trucks, and vans, but no large trucks, ATV's, motorcycles, or bicycles. The borough has an ordinance in place which forbids the collection of tires on any property; this is because of the threat of West Nile Virus. If you have accumulating tires on your property and miss this years drop off contact one of our local car repair shops; there is a minimal fee for each tire. Once a date is determined, it will be posted here, check back often.
Sites, materials accepted, and phone numbers for your convenience.
610-262-9021 Attn: Roger
Collection of appliances with freon (freezers, refrigerators, air conditioners). Fee charged.

mygig help!!
my dad is getting a 2011 overland this week and we are confused about the different my gigs avail. He has a rer in his charger. i know of the rer and ren. what else is out there we test drove one with a rer in it but then the one in the show room had a rhb.
someone please tell me the difference lol i feel stupid.
Re: mygig help!!
The radios are confusing to just about everyone, not only you.
The RHB nav Radio (430N) has garmin based software. The other radio that could be in Overlands built since January is a RHR (730N) which is a replacement for the earlier RER (also 730N). The RHR would have the same look and feel as the RER. The same radios are used across the Chrysler line.
Many here prefer the RHB for the superior Garmin nav software, others prefer the RHR for its voice commands and dead reckoning features. They both have their quirks and distractors. The RHR is like a $300 extra cost option over the RHB base radio.
Make sure the dealer updates the RHB, with the recently released upgrade, before you pick it up. You will like the radio better, especially if you use it with an iPod or smart phone. (TSB 08-036-11 I think)
A description here;
Re: mygig help!!
thank you for clearing the confusion out. the one he bought has the rhr in it which is basically the same thing he has in the charger right now which will become mine :) hemi time

The walls between the worlds are down. A new unfolding has begun...
It started long ago, as a war between the shadowy Immortals that persists today, as the wizard Mauryl's Shaping confronts the Shadows summoned from Chaos. Tristen is that Shaping. Both more and less than human, he successfully fought sorcery's evil tides, a victory that brought his friend Cefwyn both a kingdom and true love.
But the Lines that hold the world in place are shifting again. A ruthless enemy is preparing for battle. Once again, Tristen will take up the sword inscribed with "Truth" and "Illusion" on its blade. But he faces more than war and a pretender to Cefwyn's throne. The Shadows he sees are straight from Ruin -- a flow of darkness covering the world like ink...
Fortress of Dragons completes the high-fantasy epic begun in Fortress in the Eye of Time and continued in Fortress of Eagles and Fortress of Owls --a powerful tale set in a world of magic, violence, wonder and awe -- a world as vividly real as our own.
Tristen successfully fought back the tides of evil sorcery, and his victory brought his good friend Cefwyn both a kingdom and a true love. But the Lines that hold the world in place are shifting again. As a ruthless enemy prepares for battle, Tristen must take up his sword against the Shadows--a terrifying flow of darkness that covers the world like ink.

Florida Governor Rick Scott (R) Used a Dog Named Reagan as a Campaign Prop
January 14, 2013 at 7:25 PM Leave a comment
This is sickening:
Shortly after winning the GOP nomination in 2010, Rick Scott announced to the world through Facebook that his family had rescued a Labrador Retriever.
And, with help from his Facebook friends, Scott gave it a name: Reagan.
"The Scott family is proud to announce that the name (chosen by you) for their newly adopted pup is Reagan! Thanks to everyone who participated in the fun contest," read Scott's announcement on his Facebook page.
Commenters were ecstatic, congratulating Scott for getting a rescue dog instead of a pure bred like Bo, the Portuguese Water Dog President Barack Obama adopted in 2009. And friends saluted the dog's name, an homage to former President Ronald Reagan.
Gawd. How corny. I already feel sorry for the dog.
But where is Reagan today?
The last time Reagan made the newspapers was the day before Scott was sworn in as governor in January 2011.
Asked last week what had happened to the dog, Scott's current and former communications directors refused to answer.
Late Wednesday [last week], [Brian] Burgess [Scott's campaign's communications director] testily emailed that he was working on an answer and recognized "the potential for a PR nightmare if the Tampa Bay Times doesn't receive a photo of Reagan next to today's copy of the Tampa Bay Times. So take it to the bank I'm getting you every bit of info I can lay my hands on."
A spokesman for the governor's wife also declined to respond to questions about Reagan, saying only that they have one dog.
"Her name is Tallee and she is a 7-year-old rescue Lab," said Jackie Schutz, a spokeswoman for Mrs. Scott.
Where Tallee came from and where Reagan went were still unknown.
On Monday, the Times asked the governor to clear up the mystery.
"He was a rescue dog," Scott said, "and he couldn't be around anybody that was carrying anything, and so he wouldn't get better."
So the Scotts gave the dog back to his prior owner, Scott said, about a month after the family moved to Tallahassee. The governor's office on Monday told the Times it was trying to find Reagan and its new family.
After learning that Times reporters had talked to the governor, a spokeswoman called to say Reagan had been returned about a year ago to All Pets Grooming and Boarding, a business in Naples.
Rick Scott
won the Republican nomination to run for governor in late August, 2010. He won the election the following November 3rd and, as the above article says, he was sworn in on January, 2011. But the last time anyone heard about ol' Reagan was the day before Scott was sworn in.
Now we know Reagan was who-knows-where between January 2011 and January 2012, and he's been at All Pets Grooming and Boarding for roughly the past year.
I've gotten so worked up putting this post together I don't know what to say. If Rick Scott was in front of me right now I'd probably do something I'd regret.
I mean, think about it: the whole fake compassionate conservative thing; the supposed love of Ronald Reagan. Ugh. This is just disgusting.
Kind of reminds me of George W. and his fake Crawford "ranch:" Texas Town Adjusts to Life Without Bush.

So now it's official: the WiFi-only Motorola Xoom is launching on March 27th at seven different retailers. The price will be $599, and that price seems to be causing much rejoicing. In fact I was happy to hear it myself. And then I became very sad that the tablet manufacturers have me thinking of $600 as a great price for a tablet. It isn't that the WiFi Xoom is gimped in any way; aside from the removal of the 3G radio it's the same Xoom that's been on sale for a few weeks now: same Nvidia Tegra 2 "super chip", same 32 GB memory, dual cameras, 10.1" screen and Android Honeycomb. It lines up very nicely with the 32 GB WiFi iPad, which costs exactly the same price. Network World's Wayne Rash pitted the devices against each other in a battle royale and declared the fight a draw.
[ Get news and reviews on tech toys in ITworld's personal tech newsletter]
So I don't mean to accuse Motorola of not providing good value for the money; at least not unless I'm ready to accuse Apple of the same thing. But I still feel that tablets need to be considerably cheaper. $600 isn't an impulse or a commodity price. I still want a tablet that is cheap enough that I don't worry about it constantly. In fact in a perfect world I'd be able to afford a couple of tablets and leave them laying around the house. One by the couch in the living room for when I'm watching TV, another on the bedside table. I'm thinking of a $200-$300 device. My values are slowly being skewed by the "big" tablet manufacturers and their pricing structures. Compared to the $800 Xoom, the $600 Xoom seems like a great deal, right? Now to be fair, the original (and soon to be obsolete) 7" Galaxy Tab is now down to $300...but you have to sign up for a two-year contract. Still, that price erosion (just a few months ago the Galaxy Tab was $500 with a contract) gives me hope. I really want to return to those happy days when $300 seemed like a good price for a good tablet.

ORRVILLE -- The city had a very positive year in 2012, but there are dark clouds looming on the horizon that could have a negative impact on Orrville's future if they are not somehow disbursed.
That was the message Mayor Dave Handwerk delivered to City Council on Tuesday in his annual State of the City address.
Handwerk said Orrville saw "many positive things" occur last year, including both new buildings and expansions of existing ones across the city. He said a number of projects were begun in 2012 that will be finished in the year ahead.
With regard to the long discussed truck route, Handwerk noted the High Street extension portion will be completed this summer, with the Pine Street portion to be finished next year.
While Handwerk noted the completion of several street resurfacings in 2012, he said the "biggest project by far" was the reconstruction of Mineral Springs Street that passes through the heart of the city's education campus, at a cost of close to $1 million.
Handwerk noted the area around Mineral Springs was "a very busy part of town" in 2012, with the simultaneous replacement of a gas line, the construction of the new Orrville High School, and the creation of a turf grass field at Heartland Field, along with other improvements to Red Rider Stadium.
The mayor also cited much work that was done by the city during the year to lay the groundwork for a new "loop road" to be built on the J.M. Smucker Co. campus, and declared the project "ready to go" in 2013.
He said in 2012 the city also did the planning for the reconstruction of North Ella Street through the education campus this year, which, he noted "has been chip and seal forever."
Also advanced last year was the work on Rails-To-Trails, with the trail between Clinton and Orrville expected to be completed over the next few years. Also in the planning is the development of a trail head facility in the city's downtown, expected in the year ahead if the grants are made available.
Handwerk referred to the winding down of the construction of Orrville's centralized education campus as "hard to believe," and called the work on the new Orrville High School "exciting." He praised the efforts of schools Superintendent Jon Ritchie, as well as those of the board of education, teachers, students and parents in helping that goal to be achieved.
"We'll have a school campus we can all be proud of," Handwerk said.
But the mayor sounded a more somber note as he looked at the city's financial picture and what he said could well be darker days ahead.
He lamented the "huge dollars lost to city government" by state cuts and "takeaways" as being "a big concern" and said this year would be the first in which the city would feel the negative impact. He said it is still "uncertain how they will affect the city."
In addition, Handwerk expressed serious concerns about what effect ever-tightening federal Environmental Protection Agency regulations will have on the future of the city's power plant.
On the other hand, the mayor said the city's investments in a variety of alternative energy sources is proving beneficial, and would likely prove to be even more so in the future.
Handwerk said at some point the city will need "to address its financial losses with cuts in services or a revenue increase." He emphasized that time is not yet at hand, but it is absolutely coming. In the meantime, he said, the city will continue to do more with less, focusing on gaining efficiencies of operation, maintaining its equipment to extend its life, and doing whatever else it can to operate as economically as possible.

This way I might be able to find something perfect even if it has been pruned, and still allow you to keep your 'main portion' fresh.

I'm concerned because there's lots of stuff in (for example) the Celtic section that's inspiring for a future project, but I don't have specifics (and many of those tracks are older, as there's been little new stuff in that section). What you're essentially proposing is that I keep preview clips of all of them so that when I decide I want them I can then tell you 'hey! I want your backed-up copy of this' rather than allowing me to find it on your site.Justin "ShivaFang" Whitehttp://email@example.com

Brian Gongol Show - January 12, 2014 - A syllabus for America
We talked tonight about some good news, like the continued expansion of 4G cellphone service in Iowa, but spent most of our time with the case for a syllabus for America. We need high-school graduates to know (a) how to manage their own finances, (b) how to understand the bigger economy, and (c) how to understand a family business -- because every family is a business, even if every business isn't run by a family.
In case you missed the show, it's available for on-demand listening.
Thanks for listening this week!

I love this keyboard's design, but the lack of macros and a numpad make it a non-option. I don't use macros much, but I still need them for certain things. And a numpad... I use that thing religiously, in and out of games (numpad tends to be more important for MMOs).

Bumpday 7/6/2011: Day[9] didn't make me do it
Subject: Editorial, General Tech | July 7, 2011 - 04:06 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: starcraft 2, bumpday
This week the second season of Starcraft 2 came to a close immortalizing whatever rank you happened to be just prior to the lock. This is the second league freeze that Starcraft 2 underwent since it was launched last July. Starcraft 2 was a very anticipated launch for Blizzard due to the twelve year gap between it and its predecessor, Starcraft. Our forums were just one of many places where rabid fans frothed over Starcraft and I believe we deserve to nostalgia over it.
The calendar says 7/7/2011… … Bumpedaday??
Back in early 2001, just over ten years ago, ccrazy1263 created a very energetic forum thread questioning the coming of a new Starcraft. Blizzard would not even announce the existence of a new Starcraft until over 6 years later. One thing that comes with Starcraft is that players will constantly tell you their strategies, good or bad, and there were a few instances of that in this thread. In closing, the best advice to be had from this thread is short and sweet: Don't play Hunter or Lost Temple against Hacker. They'll kill your expansion.
Starcraft 2: Season 2 nearing end, Season 3 oncoming
Subject: General Tech | July 2, 2011 - 07:01 PM | Scott Michaud

Multiplayer RTSes are quite a different beast from most other forms of videogames and one of the most popular is Starcraft. Its success makes it subject to dozens of tournaments per year, a UC Berkley School of Business course, a USAF team-building and crisis management training activity, and being an all-around good selling game. Starcraft 2's multiplayer mode has distinct seasons, your rank immortalized at the end of a season and new maps injected giving maximum time to be accustomed to before the next rank freeze. The current Starcraft 2 season, Season 2, will come to a close on Tuesday morning at 8AM EST to prepare for the launch of Season 3 on the morning of Tuesday the 19th of July.
But Kerrigan only has wings in Zerg form.
(Image from Blizzard)
The third season will bring four new maps to the one-on-one map pool with the 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4 getting two new maps each. The one-on-one map pool refresh contains one long-game focused map, one quick-rush focused map, and two neutral-length maps. Blizzard is focusing on destructible debris in most of their maps as a method of directing early and late-game flow similar to Season 2 rather than the somewhat rare usage in the initial release. If you are looking to poke into that next league you would be advised to play your heart out in the next couple of days as this season is about to end. Don't fear the Reaper!
Can Kerrigan and Raynor reconcile their differences and get back together? Tune in for the next episode.

We can now see a 1:29 long preview of StarCraft II : Heart of the Swarm at Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN. In it we learn about evolving Banelings and Zerglings, the importance of Yeti DNA and the apparent focus on heros and their upgradability. What is not clear is who you will be playing; Kerrigan building a reformed swarm, Raynor and his marines squashing bugs and Eldar wannabes or maybe even Nova and her ghosts? Maybe you play all three, building up and defending a base in one mission and destroying it in another? Check the video in HD to get the most of the sneak peek.
"Following last week's leaked cinematic teaser we now have some actual footage of Starcraft II's second episode in action, and you can check that out below. We're expecting the game itself to turn up in the first half of next year, and it could be a rather different hero-focused experience, if the previews are anything to go by. Which I guess they must be, since they're about the game and all.
It's no Men Of War."

Shares of Dell (NASDAQ:DELL) closed higher on Monday after an analyst from Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) upgraded the struggling computer maker, citing too much pessimism in the industry. However, investors should still be cautious about chasing a position.
How High Can Dell Climb?
Goldman analyst Bill Shope raised his rating on Dell to Buy from Sell, while also increasing his price target on shares to $13 from $9. Although he is not oblivious to the headwinds facing the traditional PC market, Shope believes the negativity levels are too high.
Catalysts are critical to discovering winning stocks. Check out our newest CHEAT SHEET stock picks now.
In a client note, he explains, "While we expect companies more exposed to traditional PCs like Dell will face continued pressure, we believe that expectations have become too bearish and imply an overly draconian outlook for the computer market." Shares of Dell are down about 30 percent year-to-date, but Shope sees potential for value. He continues, "Dell has become an attractive deep value play and we would be buyers of the stock."
The X-Factor in the Note
Shope recognizes that a leveraged buyout of Dell would be tough given the company's $18 billion market capitalization, but does not place it outside the realm of possibility. He writes, "Potential involvement by CEO and founder Michael Dell, who already owns 14 percent of Dell shares, makes it difficult to completely dismiss a leveraged buyout transaction entirely."
At the end of the third quarter, Dell reported a cash position of about $11 billion, offset with only $5.3 billion in long-term debt. This strong net cash position also provides Dell with opportunities. "Dell has the option to take advantage of its healthy balance sheet for strategic purposes, something that other net debt hardware names do not have in their favor," Shope said.
Despite the upgrade, the current trend does not look good for Dell…

Northeast Roadshow: RIA Window - MVVM, Silverlight, and Expression Blend
Download this episode
Don't look now, but there's a new pattern in town - Model-View-ViewModel or MVVM. Within the last year or so, this architectural model has been building up a significant following among Silverlight and WPF developers. In this session, Jim O'Neil, Developer Evangelist, will cover what MVVM is, where it came from, and why all the cool coders are using it. In addition to the why, this session will explore the how by analyzing a small RSS reader application implemented in Silverlight using MVVM.

The National Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association has launched a new online feature called "The Quest for the Crown" to give racing fans and horsemen more access to information as this year's crop of 3-year-olds pointing toward the Triple Crown.
The National HBPA, each week at nationalhbpa.blogspot.com, will preview the upcoming weekend's major 3-year-old stakes on the road. The blog will also provide previews of the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes (all gr. I).
"There is an incredible amount of information about these important races available online," National HBPA chief executive officer Phil Hanrahan said, "but it can be a time-consuming process to find it all on a weekly basis, especially when it's off the beaten path. With this new online feature, we are making a huge amount of this information available in one place."
The online feature will provide links to news, video, commentary, and handicapping information for each race from a variety of sources, from the major racing media sites and racetracks to smaller blogs that often feature incisive information but are sometimes overlooked or hard to find through a simple web search. The blog format will also allow users to post their own comments and selections and interact with other users.

Boat building is an art. Commencement Bay Maritime Festival organizers are hosting an event to make sure it doesn't become a lost art.
The eighth annual Quick and Dirty Boat Building Competition will be held Aug. 25, and will let everyone try their hands at making stuff that floats just in time to put their crafts in the water for the main Commencement Bay Maritime Festival. The Quick and Dirty challenge pits boat builders from around the area in a boatbuilding competition using limited time and resources.
All builders must use a "mystery material" in their craft and then race it around a water course to test its ability to float and its handling on the water.
Proceeds go to the Youth Marine Foundation. The contest is a fun and enjoyable event for all parties involved and lets the public see what can be done with a little wood, a little glue and a lot of imagination.
More information is available at: www.maritimefest.org.

Hair modeling is my número UNO and I'm getting ready to compete in my 3rd Worlds Hair Competition in Germany! I would also like to do more fitness because I am now a yoga instructor, still an avid long distance runner and studied exercise science for many years. Please feel free to email me if you would like to work together on any kind of project or shoot you think I would compliment. Thanks VV

What does this mean "Your email address is invalid."
My address is correct. Why is the system not accepting it, and why can't I find tech support because it is obvious that is who I need.
Help is totally unhelpful because there are three other questions dealing with this type of question of which only one had a response. I found that response helpful until I attempted to contact tech support with no luck. Consequently, I'm not optimistic that I will receive any kind of a reply let alone 1. one that answers the question, 2. a response from tech support (wherever they are) who should have the answer and the solution.

Hi Anne,
You can reach help desk via the online messaging on this page. Just click "other" and advance to the next page. the help link at the bottom of the Answers page should also take you there.
As for the email address being rejected, I've had that happen too. I contacted help desk via the Answers section (prior to the change over to the current set up) and they reset it in the system. It hadn't changed and wasn't out of service at any point. On the Guru side, they were getting feedback that my email was bouncing messages back. I think it was related to the spam filter my ISP uses.
You might also keep in mind that we do have visits from Guru staffers in the Answers section, so you may have Stacy or Jason or one of the others chime in with more direct help.

Nick Clegg today laid bare Cabinet tensions over the slow pace of building new homes and warned of the "awful consequences" of a housing bubble bursting.
The Deputy Prime Minister revealed he had been going on "like a stuck record" at Chancellor George Osborne over the need to kick-start new housing developments in London and other regions.
He also stressed it would be a "real folly" to "go for easy wins" which fuel house prices, without restraining them by building more homes.
The Chancellor has announced £10 billion of Government guarantees for house building in the Bank of England's Funding for Lending programme, which has led to cheaper mortgages and more availability and his flagship Help-to-Buy scheme.
But with house prices spiralling in London at six per cent a year, Mr Clegg warned of a "significant gap" between policies aimed at increasing house building and getting spades in the ground.
"It's probably one of my greatest frustrations that many of the levers that Government can pull in housing can take a very long time to feed through," said the Liberal Democrat leader. "I'm like a stuck record round the Cabinet table. I'm constantly saying to George Osborne and Danny Alexander (Chief Secretary to the Treasury), 'what is happening to the Treasury guarantee', which is worth £10 billion.
"Getting it off the ground, the gap between intention, announcement and delivery is quite significant."
But a Treasury source said: "We agree, construction is a massive issue and no one has pushed it more than the Chancellor. Our planning reforms and Help-to-Buy are helping supply. The Home Builders Federation recently called Help-to-Buy an unqualified success."
Mr Clegg told the Liberal Democrat Voice website that simply boosting housing demand would be "storing up another bubble which would then burst with all those awful consequences later". He said: "It would be real folly to simply go for easy wins on boosting supply of mortgages that doesn't lead to supply of new housing."

Procrastinators are the leaders of tomorrow.
GOD the addition of the music was stupid ... what could have been a demonstration of proper response by a licensed citizen has instead been turned into a stupid music video that makes gun owners look like "kill crazed maniacs".

That was some damn good shooting but the lady with the little girl was completely clueless and just stood there, it was pretty dangerous to be shooting around MS.Clueless and her child but other than that quite a good showing, better than alot of cops I know
Another thing it looked to me like the GG raised the Glock up and used the sights or the front sight and went 3 for 3 hits

I searched around but didnt find this. I'm not supprised to read that you all have discussed this before as you all seem to be on top of things. Anyway for what its worth I really liked this shooting. In particular the skill demonstrated by the GG. The GG went from concealed holstered weapon to firing three controlled well aimed shots over the shoulder of a co-worker and next to a woman and child from ranges between 3 to 7 meters approximately all in under 5 seconds. Awesome.
It shows the suddeness of these kinds of encounters and the skill necessary to survive them. There are also some "gunfight myths" that are obviously dispelled. Starting with the most obvious is the myth of knockdown power. As I'm sure most of you know, handguns cant knock down a human being. Even three hits of .40 S&W will not knock a man down if no vital organs or central nervous system isnt hit. Another misconception often shown on TV is that most people's reaction to gunfire is to run! Even if they are armed. This is important in my opinion because if you are in a deadly force scenario getting the first shot off, even if you miss, could save you life if the threat runs away. I believe this came up in some of the 1 vs many scenarios.
Another thing I noticed and have personally experienced was the choice of weapon. My first deadly force situation also involved a Glock 23 but I'll detail that another time. In this case the Glock 23 is a compact weapon but offers a full grip which enhances the ability of the shooter to get a firm secure grasp on the weapon when drawing and firing. Not a knock on smaller guns. But an acknowledgement that having a weapon you can control and deploy as quickly as possible is important. Also did anybody notice the number of rounds fired? From what I saw and read, 3 rounds. The Glock 23 has a 10 to 13 round capacity depending on where you live or your occupation. But only 3 of those rounds were fired. Now I realise that this one shooting is not a large enough sample size to be conclussive. However I've seen enough to form my own opinion which is that a weapon capable of holding at least 5 rounds is more than enough for self defense purposes. Thats all for now...

+1, Did he actually name the BG at the end of the video? I wonder ithis is real. In either case he ended up looking more like the thug, than the portrayed BG.

Better deaf than dead, and 3 rounds aren't going to permanently deafen anybody.
Also, the angle makes it look like the kid is closer to the line of fire than she really is... but again, even if it was close in combat you have to accept some risks.

Ha! I finally figured out how to register. Couldn't find a link to do so before, but when I pasted the login url and switched out "wp-login" for "wp-register" it worked. Though when I was offered an opportunity to login, that screen now had an offer to register, so maybe it wasn't all me?
Anyhow, it looks like you've got a word too many in the caption for the third panel: "go end" should probably be one or the other, not both.
As for saving money by not using military force in other nations, might that not just be the short term result? Long term it seems to make sense to take control over as many important resources as possible, either by hook or by 'I'm not a crook'.

Great to have you back, Gill! Sorry about the confusion. The spam was just unbelievable! I had to do something.

- Details & Specs
Humminbird® 788ci HD DI Combo Fishfinder. Super - detailed fish - finding info!
It's not even fair anymore... this Humminbird® Fishfinder shows you exactly where the fish are so all you have to do is drop a line in the hotspot. Too easy. The way this baby locates fish is through DualBeamTM Sonar... has a 16° beam for better bottom and structure definition, and a 25° beam for better fish location below the boat.Along with DualBeam Plus, you'll get these fish-finding advantages:
Down ImagingTM technology. See all the happenings below your boat. Timber, brush, bridge pilings, rocks and any other structure will pop with stunning detail as you patrol the water.
How? 1. "Snapshots" are created with high-frequency sound waves emitted in razor thin slices. 2. Sonar returns from these waves create an instant "snapshot" below the boat. 3. Narrow Mode analyzes the returns to verify the position of the echoes to ensure Down Imaging only shows you structure and activity beneath you, and not off to one side or another. Quickly identify structure with Down Imaging, while using 2D to locate and target fish. Together, they take the guesswork out of sonar fishfinding.
Humminbird SwitchFireTM Sonar gives you the power to choose how returns are displayed. With 3 unique modes, you have complete control to adjust with the fishing conditions. Get incredible detail in Max Mode. Watch as the sonar returns explode from the screen in amazing detail. You'll see the tiniest subsurface object-even thermoclines and water currents-for complete underwater coverage. And for easy viewing in rough water, there's Clear Mode.
Time Variable Gain (TVG) software sifts through sonar returns to display only fish and structure. Great for fishing in shallow and rough water, or reducing undesired clutter in the water column. 3-color Palette Mode provides even more flexibility on the water to deal with overcast or full-sun conditions.
Built-in ContourXDTM maps. With over 3,000 U.S. lake maps in the database, you will be able to find a lake close to any location you might want to wet a line. As an added bonus, ContourXD maps feature depth contour lines, so you can find all the drops, bumps and channels holding fish. The maps also include U.S. lights / markers, and major roads and interstates. Fish like a pro on your home lake, or a lake far from home, thanks to Humminbird ContourXD.
Precision 50-channel GPS allows you to track speed and use chartplotting technology to find old fishing holes where you had success. And even if you're not a sonar "guru", the X-Press menus place the Finder's most important settings at your fingertips for quick adjustments.
All this vital info is presented to you on a brilliant best-in-class 640 x 640 5" high-definition color display. Maximize your time on the water with Humminbird!The new "school" in fishfinding technology:
- 4,000 watts peak-to-peak 500 watts of RMS power output

Hulu Hullabaloo
NBC and News Corp. launched their online video venture Hulu last week to a group of beta testers, who praised the site for its ease of use and advertising structure. But the group questioned its limitations on content, such as the fact that it can't be downloaded or viewed internationally.
When the site officially launches in the coming months, it will have about 1,000 hours of content from Fox and NBC, various cable networks and studio partners Sony Pictures Television and MGM. That's about double what it has now, according to CEO Jason Kilar, who joined the company with several years of experience at Amazon.com. Hulu will update that content every day, adding new clips as frequently as every 15 minutes. During the beta period, the site will add "tens of thousands" of new users each week, Kilar says.
Early press reviews praised Hulu's advertising structure, one that tailors ads to the length of content (short clips generally run with 15-second popup ads, while full episodes and movies bear a limited number of 30-second spots). And while Hulu's success will hinge on whether it can support itself through ad revenue, that won't be an issue initially, given the site's well-publicized $100 million investment from Providence Equity Partners, not to mention the deep pockets of its enormous corporate parents.
"The fact that they've raised $100 million and have money in the bank means they're not going to disappear anytime soon," says online industry analyst and consultant Dan Rayburn, executive VP of StreamingMedia.com.

Hardcore, bandwaggoners turn out for Super Bowl in Hayne's hometown
By Nick Mulvenney
CAMPBELLTOWN, Australia (Reuters) - The numbers were modest and the hour a lot less sociable than in California but Australian NFL fans had themselves a proper Super Bowl party in the hometown of San Francisco 49ers punt returner Jarryd Hayne on Monday.
Australia has traditionally had one of the highest viewing figures pro rata for the Super Bowl outside the United States with some 200,000 out of a population of 23 million tuning in for the 2014 showpiece.
The NFL received huge exposure Down Under last year when Hayne made the audacious decision to cut short his career as one of the biggest stars in the country's National Rugby League (NRL) and head stateside to play for the 49ers.
And if the anecdotal evidence of Monday at the Western Suburbs Leagues Club in Leumeah is anything to go by, it has also had an impact on the NFL's reach even when he is not playing.
"I've been a fan for about two years but I have noticed a big increase in interest mostly because of Jarryd Hayne," said Izac Talanoa who, like Hayne, has his roots in the large local Pacific Islander community.
"It's been a massive influence because he only started out here and now he's over in the big leagues."
Some were already waiting outside for the club to open at 9.30 a.m. so they could grab a seat in front of the big screen and some 200 had assembled by kickoff an hour later, a four-fold increase on last year's turnout according to staff.
Pizza, foot-long hot dogs, corndogs, peanuts and buckets of American beers at knockdown prices all helped bridge the 7,000 miles between a sunny Monday morning in southwest Sydney and Super Bowl Sunday in Santa Clara. Continued...

TORONTO — One of two men accused of plotting with al-Qaida members in Iran to derail a train in Canada became radicalized to the point that his father reached out to a Muslim support group for help and advice, a local religious leader said Wednesday.
Muhammad Robert Heft, president of the Paradise Forever Support Group Inc., a non-profit organization that provides support to Muslims in Canada, said Mohammad Jaser came to him several times citing concerns about the radicalization of his son.

Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/forum.php)
- Bindings (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/bindings/)
- - Burton Restricted Mission bindings - bad ratchets? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/bindings/55633-burton-restricted-mission-bindings-bad-ratchets.html)
Burton Restricted Mission bindings - bad ratchets?
So after deliberation on what bindings to get to match my Burton Ambush boots (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/bin...-bindings.html), I found an affordable set online Burton Restricted Mission bindings online, and so i went with them. I am using 2012/2013 Burton Ambush boots (Size 9) with 2012/2013 Restricted Mission bindings in size M
They arrived last night and to be honest i am quite disappointed. The supposed "perfect boot fitment" is not there; the highback is nowhere near the back of the boot (canted highback means they are at an odd angle compared to the boot); the heel cup is not exactly snug and the ankle straps appear to be on an odd angle (though they do hold the boot in)
But the biggest complaint is with the ratchets. These are my first 'decent' snowboard boots (prior to this i had 2 no-brand bindings, and some salomon speedfit bindings), and this is the first time i have not been able to decently tighten the bindings before the ratchet slips. And it makes an ugly slipping sound when it does. The toe straps seem to be the worst, and at the tightest it will go i can still lift the toe around 1cm/0.5" off the board
Is this just how 'decent' metal ratchets are supposed to be? Do other manufacturers make better ratchets?
I can already see some damage on the teeth of the straps, after having tightened the bindings twice. They were are brand spanking new but i dont see myself getting 2-3 days out of these before i need to return the straps for replacement.
Should i try and sell these and get some Ride/Union bindings before i do anymore damage?
In my experience this is normal for Burton's toe ratchets and toe straps.
I find that the trick is to push down on the lever while you ratchet so it doesn't lift and skip. You have to figure out at what point the angle of the strap starts to twist to the point it starts to strip. You won't get a tight fit but at least you won't ruin the ladders anymore.
With the toe straps you will have some lift. They're meant to cap so they pull the boot back into the binding, not down to the edge the way other, more convertible straps do. With the play between the boot and the binding it really lacks response, which is why I got rid of them.
I'm a fan of Union, you won't find any of these issues to be a problem. I recommend the Force or the Atlas.
Ride are also super solid. I'd recommend the Rodeo.
burton has the best ratchets in the business. Were the bindings new?
Anyways, you say things like, 'the highback are no way near the boots'...did you adjust the forward lean?
You could be trying to tighten the straps too tight
Hmmm, perhaps i am trying for something too tight - all my bindings until now have been the oldschool over-the-toe type so i am just getting used to this toe cap thing. I just know i will get snow packed in that gap that i get (maybe thats supposed to happen?)
The bindings were brand new, all the mounting hardware was unused and there were no marks on them until i got into it :). I bought them on an Auction so it was from an individual, but it came with a valid warranty card from 24th Dec (unwanted xmas gift i guess), and the shop is near me so i am good for warranty
As for the highbacks, i guess i could adjust the forward lean. I was just expecting a "like a glove fit" since they are both burton, same season, similar level. The main reason for the gap there is the canted highback. The boot sits straight up where the highback is leaning off to the side. Even when strapped into the board, i had to use a fair bit of inwards pressure to get the boots to line up with the highback.
I think i will bring them to the shop that sold them and ask them to check if the freeplay/fitment/ratcheting is right. Perhaps i did get dodgy bindings (i noticed that the left side, toe ratchet loses traction much quicker than the other 3 ratchets - which is bad, because i ride goofy (thats the side that will get the most loosening/tightening action.
If they say the ratchets are as they are supposed to be, i think i will put them up for sale. They are only 300g lighter than my old bindings (Salomon speedfits), and they just dont feel as good as i was expecting them to (would feel ripped if i had paid the $390 that these retail for here!)
No offense intended, but it sounds like you need to learn how to set up your bindings properly. If you look up on youtube you can find all the info. You may need to adjust the high back position, strap lengths and gas pedal. Or better still take them into the shop and let them set them up for you. Maybe they can check your stance too because for me the canted highbacks (cartels) are spot on when I am riding and my legs and boots are also at an angle.
Also you don't have to crank down that hard on the ratchets which are widely acknowledged to be the smoothest out there. Once you get it properly set up and spend a day riding them come back and tell us how it went.
I expect you will like them cause they are very good bindings for the money.
It is possible that you have a faulty pair (all manufacturing produces some faulty goods) but lets see once you get it set up.
I was a bit worried about my new (to me) missions, the first time out.
I have been riding Flow system, so the toe ratchet was new to me.
The first couple of times, I was worried about how the toe strap skipped on me. I was worried it might not be tight enough.
After a few hours, I got used to it. It skips when it's tight. That tells me I'm ready to go. The toe ladder was a little stripped, though. I took them to my local shop. The boys there threw me some "new" straps they took off a pair of bindings they were using for parts. I threw them $20 for their troubles. The ratchet still skips, but I'm no longer worried. I've had them out several times, and have felt great on groomers and park.
Take them out and you'll see. :D
Thanks and no offence taken about being a noob when it comes to bindings setup. I had a few "uhh... i *think* thats right" moments while bolting these in (the bindings themselves seem to be set up for a midget shoe or something because out of the box i couldnt even get the ankle strap to ratchet on over my size 9 boots.
I will go to the shop tomorrow hopefully and see if they can help me set them up.
maybe throw up some pics for us? i just looked up the bindings and they should have the 2012 cartel highbacks, which were pretty straight
I am at work now, but these are the bindings i have:
Mission EST Snowboard Binding | Burton Snowboards
So the top of the highback is about an inch or more off-centre compared to the boot
oops, it was the regular baseplate model, not EST... but the highback part is identical
