My website is http://fpcpalmbay.com and my links that I have on the slideshow images are not working on iPad and i Phone, but it is working great on all major browsers on the desktop. Any thoughts?
Thanks Tyler
Hi tarldr,
What about them specifically isn't working? Is it not working as a link or is it something else?
When you use an Apple or Android device the slideshow links do not work. You can flip through the slideshow normally, but if you try to select the slide it will do nothing. It is the same for every single slide. However, on the desktop the all the slideshow links work great.
Thanks Tyler
Are you getting the same thing on the demo page here: http://kriesi.at/themes/choices/welcome/home-page-with-portfolio/
This is the first I've heard of that kind of issue so it would be odd that it has only just come up now.
No for some reason it is just on the site. other sites that i have used choices with work fine. I have tried disabling every plugin but nothing seems to work.
Would i need to remove a plugin instead of just disabling it, to test if a plugin is the problem?
The only plugin that I know with issues that can require it to be deleted is W3 Total Cache. If you have or had that active, deleting it may be needed in order to test things fully.
It still is not working correctly. Which files should I re-install, I don't want to re-install completely, but maybe there is a certain folder I can re-install?
Thanks, Tyler
Re-download the theme files from Themeforest and in the main folder you'll see a file called version.txt. Open that up and you'll have a list of files that have been updated and need to be replaced on your host to bring it up to date with the current version of Choices.
I finally figured it out! If you ever have someone with the same problem just have them re-install the "JS" folder and it should fix it! Thanks for you great support.
Glad you've got it working now :)
Let us know if you have any other questions or issues.

Haase expected to win the new federal seat of Durack
The Liberal's Barry Haase is expected to win Australia's biggest electorate.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
The ABC's election expert, Antony Green, has tipped Barry Haase to comfortably win the seat which is larger than the Northern Territory.
Imagine driving from London to Istanbul or from San Francisco to Dallas, that's about how long it would take to get from one end of the West Australian seat of Durack to the other.
Stretching 2,905 kilometres from Geraldton in the south to Kununurra in the north and covering almost 1.6 million square kilometres, the seat of Durack is the biggest electorate, by area, in Australia.
The seat takes its name from the Durack family, Irish migrants who battled the harsh and at times unforgiving environment of the Kimberley to become the pioneers of the region's cattle industry.
Durack takes in a big slice of the old seat of Kalgoorlie, held by the Liberal MP Barry Haase since 1998.
If you've been in Durack over the last few months, you've probably seen one of two mobile homes plastered in political paraphernalia.
Mr Haase's challengers, the Nationals' Lynne Craigie and Labor's Shane Hill are well and truly on the campaign trail, traversing the seat's dusty outback highways.
Locals say Mr Haase has virtually packed up shop in Kalgoorlie, wasting no time in a city which is not included in the new boundaries of Durack and which he will soon no longer represent.
Instead, he and his trademark akubra have been popping up at swimming carnivals and agricultural shows in the wheatbelt.
On paper, the electoral boundary changes appear to have boosted Mr Haase's margin to 7.6 per cent but both Mrs Craigie and Mr Hill have reasonably high local profiles.
Mrs Craigie is a psychologist, the current president of the Shire of East Pilbara and chairwoman of the Pilbara Regional Council.
Mr Hill held the state seat of Geraldton for almost eight years before losing it to the Liberals in 2008.
The rise of the Nationals
With support for the Nationals growing exponentially in WA, local political analyst Harry Phillips agrees Durack will be a seat to watch.
"They have been campaigning up there at the state level and they might be able to win this one federally, you couldn't rule out that chance and that is why probably you could argue that all three candidates have a chance of winning that seat and that's why there will be special focus on Durack on election night."
The Nationals have five members in each house of the West Australian parliament thanks to a political strategy many political pundits would have thought impossible to pull off.
In the lead up to the 2008 state election, the party campaigned to secure the balance of power and form government with whichever party agreed to return 25 per cent of WA's mining royalties to the bush.
The Liberals agreed and formed a minority government with the support of the Nationals' and the Royalties for Regions scheme became a reality.
The program has been immensely popular in rural and regional WA, particularly in the state's far north where it has kick-started the second stage of the Ord Irrigation Scheme after decades of doubt over whether it would come to fruition.
The WA Nationals hope to capitalise on the popularity of the Royalties for Regions scheme and lobby for a similar program to be rolled out nationally, despite the plan lacking the support of the party's federal leader Warren Truss.
Mr Haase says he doesn't see the WA scheme as a threat to his campaign.
"The voting public are not easily hood-winked twice... I'd say in the vernacular it's got a snowball's chance in hell of replicating itself in a federal campaign."
While royalties for regions and the so-called super profits tax are looming large for Durack, the real twist in this story may come from a backroom party deal.
Mrs Craigie is in talks with Mr Hill about a preference deal.
Dr Phillips says this could determine whether Baary Haase and his akubra continue to represent Durack in Canberra.
"If she could finish ahead of the Labor candidate Shane Hill then preferences could enable her to defeat Barry Haase. That I think is the big factor that he has to take into account."
And with such a close race for the prize of Durack, preferences from the Greens candidate, Julie Matheson, and even the Family First candidate, Jane Foreman, could play a part in determining the final result.

text: Hi everyone, My name's Leon and I live in Australia. I've recently bought a MES gen 2 40" smoker, and have been reading many of the threads here at smoking meat forums on getting on the AMNPS 5x8 to work in the gen 2 MES. I too have been having issues with keeping the the AMNPS lit, and have been looking at some of the modifications people have been making to their smokers to increase airflow. Unfortunately, I have discovered that getting 3inch galvanised elbows in Australia is apparently ridiculously difficult unless you want to spend an insane amount of money. For example, I have found that one of the major hardware stores here sells a 4inch elbow for a reasonable $10, but no 3inch version. The only 3inch version I can seem to find in Australia is from this site, where it costs a ridiculous $37.20 plus $10 postage. I was also looking into a mailbox mod set up, but have run into the same sort of issues. Apparently nobody likes to use 3inch/75mm ducting here for some reason. Has anyone had any success in using 4inch parts without significantly modifying their smoker? These smokers cost $700 over here to buy, so I'm trying to avoid both spending too much more on it, but at the same time I don't really want to have to cut any big holes into it either. As it sits it looks like it's going to cost well over $100 to do these modifications which is a bit frustrating. Thanks for your help

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 29 (UPI) -- Ryan Vogelsong limited San Diego to an unearned run on five hits Friday and scored as well in San Francisco's 3-1 victory over the Padres.
Vogelsong (14-9) worked six innings and the Giants survived a shaky ninth to win their third in a row.
Buster Posey opened the scoring for San Francisco in the second by leading off the inning with a triple and then coming in on an infield single from Hunter Pence.
Vogelsong singled to start the third inning, Marco Scutaro singled and both runners scored on a double by Pablo Sandoval.
All three runs were charged to Andrew Werner (2-3), who lasted 4 2/3 innings.
Santiago Casilla came on in the ninth with one out and nobody on and gave up singles to both Mark Kotsay and Yasmani Grandal. With the tying runs on base, Casilla got Carlos Quentin on a ground out to end the game and grab his 25th save.

Hello, I am quite new, but I wished to ask one thing. Is it possible to add more Police cars to San Andreas so the police use them? Like, for example, Los Santos police use 2 different vehicles for patrolling around.
I know you can add more cars, but I checked cargrp.dat and didn't see a place for police cars. Is it supposed to be done trough different means or can it be done at all?
Thanks for helping out.

The Made in Italy Business Directory
A small but continuously growing business, which since its fairly recent establishment has become an important point of reference for remote control of photovoltaic, wind power and biomass plant operations in Umbria and all the other regions of central Italy: this is Nova Project , a Perugia-based company currently staffed by 30 highly specialised employees, which has developed products that are easy to install, flexible and easily adaptable to individual customers' needs.
We asked Massimo Tribolati, president of the Umbrian company, what their projects were for the future, the foreign markets from which they planned to expand and those they were aiming at in the long-term.
Tribolati, what are your particular strengths?
NovaProject's supervision and product control devices have very detailed functions and are extremely simple to set up, which make them suitable for both corporate and private use.
Our strength lies mainly in the fact that we have invested heavily in the area of research and development.
You have not yet started operating on foreign markets; do you intend to do so in the future?
Certainly, it is something we have been thinking about for some time. We have been consulted regarding installations in Austria, Romania and Greece, and one of the markets that particularly interests us is Germany, which is known for being on the cutting edge in the field of renewable energy sources. It is no coincidence that the so-called "Energy Bill" currently in force in Italy has been described as "German-style". Therefore our main interest in terms of foreign markets is Germany, where we have also been featured in a specialist magazine. I would also add France: we are already collaborating with the main Transalpine power supply company.
How about at a global level?
We are particularly interested in developing countries, such as India and China. In this case, the main problem is the difficulty of managing monitoring at such a distance: our service to clients also includes the possibility of rapid intervention in the event of malfunction, something that would be difficult to ensure in countries so far away. For this reason, in the current phase of company growth we are aiming at consolidating our positions in the Italian market: the moment for foreign markets will be immediately after this.
What are Nova Project's projects for the future?
We have implemented our Datalogger system with the launch of a new version, which, compared to the previous one, is even simpler to install, customisable and easy for our customers to consult.
The same efficiency, unquestionable product quality, flexible installation and ease of use that has set us apart from other competitors on the international market will also be the strengths of Nova Project products in the future.

RBC Capital's Mark Sue today reflects on trends in smartphone sales, writing that Samsung Electronics (005930KS) appears set to "buck" what have been expected to be a quarter-to-quarter drop in smartphone shipments for the industry, following a pre-announcement Thursday night/Friday morning of better-than-expected Q1 operating profit, despite a small shortfall in total company revenue.
Sue doesn't formally cover Samsung. His colleague, Amit Daryanani, has a Buy rating on Apple (AAPL) shares, and a $700 price target.
Samsung may sell as many as 66 million units, above his 60-million-unit projection, helped by its forthcoming Galaxy S4 flagship phone, which runs Google's (GOOG) Android operating system.
That would be a quarter-to-quarter rise of 5% for Samsung, a year-over-year gain of 55%.
The prior Galaxy S III can help things given prices are already being cut by Samsung, and "uptake" of the "Note 2" phablet is at a "healthy pace."
"We believe the operating profit upside may be driven largely by strength
in the smartphone mix," writes Sue. He thinks Samsung can sell 70 million of the S4 this year once it goes on sale at the end of April, perhaps 10 million of them in the first month, he estimates. The S4 is set to be bigger than prior models because it is going to "gain strong mind share with both carriers and consumers, especially in the absence of a new-generation iPhone."
Samsung is set to put quite a bit of distance between its smartphone market share and that of Apple's in Q1, and to outpace the market this year, he writes:
Our global smartphone model estimates that Samsung may account for 35% market share in the global smartphone market in the March quarter, well ahead of our ~19-20% share estimate for Apple. Samsung's expansive smartphone portfolio with a "one size doesn't fit all" approach is driving its continued strong market share gains and shipment upside. Smartphone penetration is now maturing to a replacement cycle in the developed markets, while growth in emerging markets may be driven by demand for low-end/mid-tier smartphones with Samsung best positioned to benefit from this impending shift in demand demographics. We expect global smartphone shipments to grow a healthy +26% YoY in CY13 to our estimate of 870M units with Samsung growing faster than the market at 34% YoY to 285M units.
Samsung shares today rose ₩15,000, or 1%, to ₩1,520,000 in Seoul trading. Apple shares rose $3.01, or 0.7%, to $426.21.
Bernstein Research's Mark Newman this morning reiterated an Outperform rating on shares of Samsung Electronics (005930KS), and a ₩2,300,00 price target on the ordinary shares traded in Seoul, writing that although there may be a slightly lower gross margin on its forthcoming Galaxy S4phone, versus the prior S III version, nevertheless, the operating margin on the device proceeds should be similar thanks to increasedvertical integration of its components by Samsung.
Samsung shares today fell ₩4,000 to close at ₩1,521,000.
Notes Newman, "Galaxy S4′s production rate of 10M units/month appears stronger than our projections despite some potential supply issues in March."
Newman comes up with a bill-of-materials for the S4 of $257 for the $16-gigabyte model running the "HSPA" wireless networking standard., higher than the $243 for the S III, and higher than an IHS iSuppli estimate of $236 offered right after the phone was introduced.
However, he sees cost savings from a slightly higher rate of components sourced internally by Samsung:
We estimate that, while 53% of Galaxy S3 BOM cost was internal, 58% of Galaxy S4 BOM costs should now flow through Display/Semis (Memory & S.LSI). We estimate that, while 64% of Galaxy S3 BOM cost was within the Samsung Group (i.e. SEMCO, Samsung SDI, etc.), 68% of Galaxy S4 BOM costs should now flow through the Samsung Group. Additional profits to Samsung group entities should benefit Samsung Electronics in the form of increased equity income.
Newman assumes a $520 average selling price, the same as for the S III, resulting in a gross profit margin of 46% versus 48% for the S III.
The upshot, he writes, is "We believe the Galaxy S4 positions Samsung Electronics for continued strong earnings growth this year."
Cowen & Co.'s Robert Stone today reiterates an Outperform rating on shares of organic LED technology vendor Universal Display (PANL), writing that an 11% retreat in the stock since Samsung Electronics (005930KS) unveiled its Galaxy S4 handset on March 14th is a good buying opportunity, given Universal should see strong sales of its technology in the S4.
Samsung, which has been a customer of Universal's, is seeing strong pre-orders of the S4, writes Stone:
The Galaxy S 4 is expected to hit U.K. stores on April 26th and preorders began March 28th. Carphone Warehouse said pre-registrations were up 446% vs. the GS III. Phones 4U also said GS 4 had the most pre registrations of any phone launched in 2013 and 40% more than GS III in the first 48 hours. Galaxy S III sales have been about 40MM units; we believe GS 4 could do 50MM or more. Samsung #1 In 2012, 23% Share Of Small/Medium FPD Sales. According to DisplaySearch estimates, Samsung led in both units and sales of small/medium displays (9 inches and below). AMOLED revenue in this category nearly doubled, from $3.5B to $6.8B. The next three suppliers by revenue share were Japan Display 15%, Sharp 13%, and LG Display 12%. Samsung has successfully associated OLEDs with the high end of the market, allowing them to capture premium prices.
PANL stock is down 31 cents, or 1%, today at $28.29.
The day after T-Mobile USA announced no contract plans and said it would stop subsidizing phone purchases, the company has made a push to emphasize the constricting nature of phone plans, hosting an event at a downtown loft space on Manhattan's Lower West Side.
Inside the event space, projections on the bare walls displayed spooky-looking metal pipes, over-layed with words such as "TRAPPED" and "OVERAGE PENALTIES" and "RESTRICTED."
The event could have implications, of course, for companies selling subsidized phones, including Apple (AAPL) and Google's (GOOG) Android partners.
A video is playing with The Daily Show comedian Jason Jones interviewing people on the street as to which they'd rather have, a root canal or a two-year cellular plan. He jests that phone companies are "slapping you in the face, they're slapping you."
T-Mobile USA CEO John Legere comes out on stage in a black blazer, jeans, and a T-Mobile t-shirt.
Legere jokes about his rep for not having "industry experience." Says his experience is he's also a wireless customer. "Stop the bullshit," he says. "It's a thousand dollars less for a T-Mobile phone over two years than AT&T (T)."
"These rate plans are so complicated, they make no sense. And for those of you who track profits, selling these things, it's really complicated. Contracts: You have to, nobody asks you, you have to. And you're locked into that phone. And by the way, that phone, that's so beautiful. How long is it before it's cracked? And by the way, the carrier, every 23 months, they're very nice to you. And then you get home and the bill makes no sense, and customer care, they're not there!"
Legere says he spent a long time reading customer emails, and they were in violent agreement with what people working at T-Mobile were thinking, namely that they didn't like the state of T-Mobile plans.
Legere is attacking the coverage of the last 24 hours. "T-Mobile is moving from subsidized phones: This is the biggest crock of shit I've heard! How much do you think you're paying? It would be a great day if all you paid was full price. You're paying so much more!"
Legere says the company has invested $4 billion upgrading its network, and the company is starting up LTE in tr first seven markets and it's "smoking fast," he says. The company will have 100 million "POPs" covered across the country by mid-year, he says. He says where there's no LTE, you will drop down to "HSPA+ 42 AWS," which is so much better than the non-LTE service on other carriers, where you think, "What happened to my phone."
New York will be live on LTE "by early summer." Says there have been download speeds of 60 megabits per second in New York trials.
"Unlimited voice, text, Web, no caps, no overages," says Legere. "Here's the pricing plan, $50, $60, $70, even I can remember that."
Legere is at pains to emphasize it's not pre-paid. "If you have good credit, pay me end of the month. You have bad credit, pay me now. What does post-paid/pre-paid mean? It means come in, get a cheap phone, and then later we're going to charge the hell out of you. Cut the crap!"
"I hope I'm not coming across as angry here," he jests.
He's announcing that "the phone that redefined the industry is coming to T-Mobile for $99 for the iPhone 5, no contract, unrestricted, in the stores April 12th."
The iPhone 5 in this model will work on LTE on both AWS 42 and in the PCS 1900 band, he says. "The experience will be beautiful." Apple reps are here at the event, he says, to demonstrate the speed. "We will be the only carrier to have HD Voice with the iPhone."
They're also going to have other devices today: BlackBerry (BBRY) Z10, Samsung Electronics Galaxy S4, and HTC "One," with all but the S4 being confirmed at $99 up-front. Pricing was not disclosed for the S4.
He invites up T-Mobile exec chief marketing officer Mike Sievert to talk about the modernization of the network, which he is characterized by a big sign on the wall behind him saying "un-congested." He says the three-part structure of the network will provide "50% more bandwidth than AT&T."
Moving to the $50 offer, Siebert says the company has been inspired by the confusion of the traditional wireless deals. He whips out some AT&T brochures and proceeds to lambast how complicated they are. "Okay, so, hang on, I haven't paid for text messaging yet, that's not included, so I'm now at $110 per month, and we're still not done."
He's talking about the iPhone 5 deal. The company is "not removing the subsidy," he says. "There is no sting, no gotcha."
On top of the $50 per month for the cheapest plan, you'll pay $20 per month for the phone, after the initial up-front charge of $99 .
"It adds up to $1,000 less per year ($1,060, to be exact) per year less than AT&T. That's what we call unleashed." He emphasizes the deal gives you unlimited FaceTime calling.
The Galaxy S4 will arrive May 1st.
The first question in the Q&A is what happens if you leave after a month and you haven't yet paid for the iPhone. You can either return the phone with a credit toward the balance you owe on the phone "at fair market value," but Legere says "we'll have more to say on that, but for now, we'll get you into the iPhone at a great price, and you won't want to leave." The iPhone will be locked, unless you pay it off in full, when it will be unlocked. You can also pay off in full at any time to unlock the iPhone.
The residual value, notes Legere, is "pretty good" for these phones. "So we're doing a lot of thinking out loud. Come in with an iPhone 4S, why not get you into an iPhone 5?"
"Pay in installments, buy the device outright, or come to us from Joe Shmoe online, we don't care. Like a lot of things, you find the best price, you buy it, and then you come to us for the best price. So, this opens a new conversation that's more transparent."
Asked about why tethering is priced separately, Siebert points out that the average monthly consumption for a user of Samsung's Galaxy S III is 3 gigs per month, whereas the average U.S. home broadband user consumes 15 gigs. So, "they're just different products. We want to have normal wireless usage" on the network.
There was a question about the "throttling" of bandwidth. "We put a fair use policy in" and retain the right to throttle someone, says Legere. But no one is going to be cut off. He explains it's more about catching "abuse" of excessive use.
Asked about MetroPCS, with whom T-Mo is merging, Legere says T-Mo will be able to expand its network from "2×10 LTE" to "2×20 LTE," in 2014. "That transaction will close, and it's a great one."
After the presentation, I talked with Sievert about the throttling issue some more. If you are on the basic $50 plan and you go over your allotted half a gigabyte of "high-speed data," you will start to experience something like 3G speeds. He said the cost of a $60 plan, with 2.5 gigs of high-speed data, or $70 for unlimited gig-speed data, seemed to suit the usage pattern of power users.
Regarding HD Voice, Sievert says calls with the capability on iPhone 5 "sound more like the person is right there next to you." The capability will actually make use of the second microphone in the iPhone 5 that today doesn't serve much of a purpose, he indicated.
Sievert said the company is "looking at" Voice over LTE, a telecom standard that aims to put phone calls in the same packetized form as data. The company is in no rush, he says. "We have no deadline hanging over us" the way CDMA-based carriers Sprint-Nextel (S) and Verizon Communications (VZ) do, he says, because the existing GSM voice capability already provides for greater flexibility in how voice connections are handled on the network.
Update: Pricing was not disclosed for Samsung's Galaxy S4, contrary to the earlier version of this post, which included the S4 among the phones being announced at $99 in up-front payment.
Samsung Electronics (AAPL) this morning announced it will make enhancements to the wireless security technology it offers for mobile phones and tablets, called "SAFE," in an effort to make a greater push into enterprise mobile usage.
The announcement came hours before the start of the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona, and had been speculated about in press reports leading up to the event.
Tim Wagner, VP and GM for enterprise sales with Samsung's Samsung Mobile USA, gave a briefing to journalists. Samsung thinks it is facing a "perfect storm" in the mobile industry that may help it get a deeper share of enterprise mobile use with its Galaxy S handsets, Galaxy Note phablets, and Galaxy Tab tablets. As Wagner explained, 85% of companies today have some sort of policy to support the "bring your own device" trend, known as BYOD, and 75% of smartphones sold at retail are running Google's (GOOG) Android software, and Samsung sells half those Android handsets.
Hence, the implication being, the company is going to be moving a lot of the units that people buy for themselves that they want to bring onto their employers' networks.
You might have seen one of six ads run by Samsung during the Oscars last night, if you happened to watch the broadcast, touting SAFE. I'm not sure why that was an ideal venue to talk up smartphone safety, but, well, there you have it.
Wagner said a new set of capabilities called "Knox" would add several features that enterprise and government want, including expanding the number of "policies" companies can download to employee devices. The maximum number of policies will be expanded from a current maximum for Android of 80 to a maximum of 338. Wagner took a veiled swipe at Apple (AAPL), declaring that this new threshold for enterprise policies would be more than the maximum of 220 policies offered by Samsung's "main smartphone competitor."
Other new capabilities for SAFE include "on-device encryption with AES 256-bit encryption," encrypting both the handset and any SD card that happens to be inserted into the device; a "Security-Enhanced" version of Android, written in collaboration with the NSA, similar to the "SE Linux" operating system, which boots a handset or tablet securely; a "trust zone" that protects the Android OS kernel once the device is booted; and a "container" that would keep enterprise data on a personal device protected from being any user access from the rest of the device, so that you can't, for example, email your corporate spreadsheet via your personal email.
If an employee leaves a job, Knox allows IT to wipe just the corporate part of the device, leaving alone one's personal stuff.
Knox also brings the following government and defense standards to devices, particular to the U.S.:
Wagner also ran through some customer "wins" with SAFE:
American Airlines: Started in summer of 2011 — made custom software for them — in process of rolling out 16,800 Note Is as smartphones — for passenger management — was supposed to be ipad originally — first time there will not be a printed manifest ; first thing used with wifi on flight
Boston Scientific: 4,000 Galaxy Tab 2s — 7-inch device connected to Verizon — first to receive Class 3 FDA approval to be used in the operating room "to remote configure an implantable device"
Atlas Air: 1,500 Galaxy Tab 8.9-inch on AT&T — first android device as an "electronic flight bag" — real time comms, GPS, access to schedule changes, mapping/charting, and PDF manual
Dish Network: 7,000 Galaxy Note and 1,000 Galaxy SIII for queue management, directions to a customer location/GPS — shortens the installation window for a customer roll
Hewlett Packard: 65,000 Galaxy S II / Galaxy S III rolled out globally — largest android deployment — standardized on SAFE for employees "now that they decided to exit the smartphone and tablet computer business"
Wagner added that "One of the largest beverage vendors in the world is moving to our device, replacing their 30,000 legacy devices," and is rolling out BYOD with SAFE.
Wagner was asked whether existing Samsung products will be able to be upgraded to Knox. He said yes, although support will vary. Some capabilities have to be built into the device before it ships and cannot be added to something merely through a software update.
Wagner said the time frame for the roll out of Knox is Q2, and that more information will be provided toward the end of this quarter.
Samsung shares Monday fell 1.3% to ₩15,300,000 in Seoul trading.
Vanity Fair magazine contributor Bethany Mclean was invited on CNBC once again this morning to chat with Squawk on the Street's Carl Quintanilla about her views on Apple (AAPL).
Mclean, who is credited with calling the demise of Enron, has been on CNBC previously this month opining that Apple shares could go to $200.
Mclean opines Apple is losing the smartphone wars, and it's not clear the company can turn it around:
It's as much likely to see $200 as $1,000. I think there are a lot of questions. Basically, the opacity of its earnings power. Basically it's a phone company with a few other businesses. Basically now it's losing the operating system battle to Android. What are hedge fund managers and young kids carrying? They're carrying an S III. Basically, Apple is holding onto women in the developed world. The more Google (GOOG) wins in Mobile, the more APple loses. On Android, Google search is 30% to 40% more profitable. Now Apple could still come out with a product out of nowhere. They have a history of doing that, albeit under other management. So, it's not a straight line to Apple $200, Google $1,000.
Apple shares today are down $3.84, or 0.8%, at $445.01.
Jefferies & Co.'s Peter Misek, who follows hardware makers that include Apple (AAPL), Dell (DELL), and BlackBerry (BBRY), today released his latest survey of tablet, smartphone and PC sales, in which he writes that there's a risk to his iPhone estimates this quarter, but his estimates for BlackBerry's sales are looking up.
Misek is keeping his estimate for Apple to sell 37.5 million iPhones this quarter, but is concerned about the chatter out of Asia about build rates for the device:
Builds for total CQ1 iPhone have been revised down from 30M-35M to 20M-25M. Suppliers seem to be prepping for iPhone 5S builds to start in March, and Apple is adjusting inventory levels, which we are still attempting to quantify.
Misek thinks slowing of sales for both Apple and Samsung Electronics (005930KS) is happening because of customers expecting new model introductions this spring. He notes as well that "Nokia (NOK) is finally getting some buzz."
Misek's estimate for sales of the BlackBerry Z10, introduced a few weeks ago, is 500,000 units this quarter, above recent skeptical figures from Canaccord Genuity's Mike Walkley and Pacific Crest's James Faucette, both of whom estimate about 300,000 units.
And Misek has higher estimates for the coming quarters:
Initial Z10 sales have not been as bad as many feared. Recent launches in France, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Kuwait have gone well. In the UK 20%+ of Carphone Warehouse phones are out of stock based on Tuesday night checks. We raise Feb Q estimates from $2.5B/$(0.42) to $2.8B/ $(0.34) after including 500K BB10 shipments but remain slightly below St $2.9B/$(0.33). We note consensus estimates have decreased over the last six weeks. We remain well above St for the May Q and Aug Q (we estimate 4M BB10 sales at a $600 ASP and 30% GM in each quarter) but reiterate that it is not just about the phone. We continue to see software opportunities in mobile device management and BYOD to drive value.
Misek notes sales of PC laptops had their first year-over-year unit sales decline in the consumer market ever in Q4, with only discounts helping to sustain sales in January.
As for tablets, he has little detail, except to say that "white-box brands drove recent growth."
In advance of the Mobile World Congress event coming next week in Barcelona, Spain, the biggest mobile trade show of the year, Misek offers some clipped observations on things to look for:
No Galaxy S4; expected mid-March in NYC event. Expect Tizen handsets and mid-tier Galaxy upgrades. Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0. Tablets with ranges of 7", 8", and 10"; also expect a monster tablet much bigger than 10". Samsung for Enterprise (SAFE) will be re-announced; however, with little in the way of real MDM capability and at best a small investment in a private start- up we expect very little to excite on this front. Nokia: 920 Lumia II: lighter, thinner, better version. Lumia EOS: 40MP+ camera phone. Huawei: Potential 8-core monsters competing with Galaxy S4 and Note 2. Lenovo: Push into the mainstream will continue. ZTE: New Mozilla OS handset(s). Grand Memo: a Note II competitor.
Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of Dell (DELL) are up 3 cents at $13.84 following a Q4 report last night featuring revenue and profit per share that topped analysts' estimates. There have been no ratings changes, that I can see. Some price targets are going up today, in anticipation of the leveraged buyout, with BMO Capital's Keith Bachman raising his to $14 from $11.
But Bachman actually cut his estimates, writing that excluding $250 million in vendor "settlements" in the quarter, the report "was not particularly good."
"Gross margins would have been around 21.0%, compared to our estimate of 22.4%, and operating margin would have been 4.9% compared to our forecast of 6.4%."
"Hence, Dell's push for units and revenues had a material impact on profit margins."
If it's Wednesday, which it is, it must be time for another report on the state of BlackBerry's (BBRY) sale of its Z10 smartphone, released three weeks ago. Pacific Crest's James Faucette, who has an Underperform rating on the shares, this morning writes that according to his "checks," Z10 shipments are "tracking to roughly 275,000 to 325,000 units in the February quarter," which he thinks is below the 1 million units the Street has been expecting.
BlackBerry shares are down 39 cents, or almost 3%, at $13.97.
Shares of Leap Wireless (LEAP) are down 33 cents, or over 5%, at $5.79, after the company this morning reported revenue that missed consensus estimates but beat on the bottom line with a smaller-than-expected loss per share.
R.W. Baird's William Power, who rates the stock Underperform, notes that subscriber additions were "weak," with the company having "gross additions" of 419,000, below his 578,000 projection, and subscriber losses of 337,000, worse than loss estimate of 186,000.
Mixed news for Apple (AAPL) this morning: The judge hearing the suit brought by Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn against the company's proxy statement has made remarks indicating the case is going in Einhorn's favor, without making a ruling, as related by Nate Raymond of Reuters.
But the company also received word that its iPhone 5 overtook Samsung Electronics's (005930KS) Galaxy S III as the most popular smartphone model in Q4, according to a report from research firm Strategy Analytics. The iPhone 5 shipped 27 million units, according to the firm's estimate, surpassing what it thinks was a 15.4-million-unit total for the S III. In fact, it would appear the iPhone 4S, at 17.4 million units, also beat the S III.
Shares of Apple are down $7.10, or 1.6%, at $452.89.
Shares of Microsoft (MSFT) are down 2 cents at $28.03 as ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley late yesterday wrote that the next version of its Windows operating system, code-named "Windows Blue," has reached a "half-way mark" in its testing. Foley writes that the software, expected this year, would be the first of a series of annual updates to Windows 8, released in October.
Sterne Agee's Shaw Wu this morning reiterates a Buy rating and a $715 price target on shares of Apple (AAPL), writing that while the "greatest turnaround and growth story of the past decade" is not over for the company, nevertheless, the company has to take some steps to "reclaim high-end leadership as iPhone 5 isn't viewed as high-end anymore" and "get more aggressive in the midrange" of smartphones.
Wu argues Apple's flagship smartphone offering, the iPhone 5, is losing the perception battle of "high end" in the market with phones that have larger screens:
In many markets, the 4.8- inch (Samsung [Electronics (005930KS) Galaxy S III) to 5.55-inch (Galaxy Note II) form factors are the new high-end of the market where the iPhone 5 is viewed as mid-range but with a high-end price.
Apple needs to take risks more, he thinks:
Sure iOS, iTunes, and the App Store are great but it is clear that many customers want larger screens. AAPL has obviously had a lot of success over the past decade with the same strategy but we think the company needs to think different and not be afraid of taking risks. We see the iPad mini as such an effort.
And Apple needs to make what should be its mid-range smartphones, iPhone 4 and 4S, more broadly available:
The iPhone 4 and 4S are highly desired by many but not as widely available as they could be. The company itself admitted on its conference call that it is supply constrained. From our supplier checks, we believe this isn't because of components but because iPhone 4 and 4S manufacturing capacity had been scaled back in favor of iPhone 5.
Apple shares today are up $9.96, or 2%, at $452.28.
AAPL: 'iPhablet' Key After iPhone '5S,' Cheaper Model, Says Barclays, February 4th, 2013.
The Street this afternoon began to offer first impressions of the presentation earlier today by the company formerly known as Research in Motion (RIMM), which announced it is changing its name to BlackBerry as it rolled out a major overhaul of the BlackBerry software, called BlackBerry 10.
The shares this afternoon are down $1.87, or 12%, at $13.79, perhaps reflecting the fact that there seem to be more bears from the Street pontificating this afternoon than there are reports from the bulls.
Shaw Wu of Sterne Agee, who has a Neutral rating on the stock, writing that the "big questions remains whether carrier interest and some developer support will translate into strong sales."
Wu thinks re-branding the company as BlackBerry "makes sense in that it simplifies its brand name. This is a move that many have asked for some time, and interesting to see that the company has finally agreed."
Wu laments the delay of availability in the U.S. market, where the "Z10" and "Q10" won't become available till sometime in March:
While the Z10 will be available in the U.K., Canada, and the U.A.E. soon, the later launch in the U.S. in March could be disappointing to some. In addition, the Q10 won't be available until April. So far, price points at $149.99 and $199.99 don't seem competitive as many Android smartphones are available for $99, $49, or free. We believe RIMM and/or carriers may need to price more aggressively to generate interest.
Citigroup's Jim Suva reiterated a Sell rating on the stock, writing that given leaks before today of features, "there was not much news" on offer. Like Wu, Suva thinks the pricing and availability are a "disappointments" to investors:
Z10 devices are expected to be available in UK tomorrow and in Canada on Feb 5th while US carriers are not expected to launch this till March. Suggested retail price for this device is US $599 (similar to what Samsung [Electronics (005930KS)] Galaxy S III sells for while [Apple's (AAPL)] iPhone 5 retails for US$ 650). In Canada, customers can get it with a 3 year contract for $149.99, while US customers likely to pay $199.99 with a 2 year contract. Management also indicated "big" marketing/promotional spend in the coming quarters with the first US Super Bowl ad to be aired this Sunday – although it is odd that customers cannot go out and buy this device for another 1½ month, by which time we expect spring launch by other OEMs and resulting in more "promotion commotion".
S&P Capital IQ's James Moorman cut his rating on RIM shares to Sell from Hold, while at the same time raising his price target by a dollar to $13. In his view, the Z10 and Q10 won't necessarily attract new BlackBerry users:
We believe the new devices are impressive and increase our valuation for the hardware business. We believe the devices and BB10 operating system will be well received. We are also impressed with the split business and personal modes on the software as well as the auto correct function. However, we believe the new devices will do more to retain existing Blackberry subscribers than to lure new subscribers. We also expect RIMM to lose subscribers again in the Feb-Q.

What procedure can be done to get rid of a drooping chin and a sunken face appearance?
I am a 57 year old woman in overall good health. Due to an accident, I have a full set of dentures. My chin droops as a result of bone loss of bottom teeth - it looks like a witch's chin. My question is what can be done to get rid of the ugly drooping chin. I would like to have cheek implants because I appear to have a sunken face. Is it possible to have chin augmentation and cheek implants when I wear dentures on both the top and bottom? Would the procedure be permanent? Thank you.
Yes, there are several options for the correction of your issues. Recent advancements have made fat grafting a very effective tool to restore facial/mandibular volume. Many patients prefer the permanence of their own tissue over implants. And, of course your witch's chin can be corrected at the same time. Consider giving a member of the ASAPS a call to address your concerns.

text: Quito - A court in Ecuador on Monday ordered oil giant Chevron to pay $8bn for allegedly causing environmental damage in the country between 1964 and 1990, according to a lawyer for the plaintiffs.Chevron faces claims it was responsible for damage in the Amazon rainforest caused by oil extraction by Texaco, a company it bought in 2001."The Ecuadorian court's judgment is illegitimate and unenforceable," Chevron said in a statement. "It is the product of fraud and is contrary to the legitimate scientific evidence."Pablo Fajardo, lead attorney for the Ecuadoran Amazon communities that sued Chevron, said that the Provincial Court of Justice of Sucumbios made the ruling.Chevron pledged to appeal the ruling, arguing that earlier rulings by US and international courts will bar enforcement of Monday's decision."Chevron does not believe that today's judgment is enforceable in any court that observes the rule of law," it said in the statement. "Chevron intends to see that the perpetrators of this fraud are held accountable for their misconduct."The lawsuit on behalf of Ecuadoran Amazon communities, was originally filed in New York in 1993. It sought $27bn in damages for water and soil pollution. The Ecuadorans allege that Texaco dumped billions of gallons of toxic waste into the Amazon.Chevron has long claimed that the process was tainted. In 2009, it posted videos online purporting to show a bribery scheme implicating the judge presiding over the environmental lawsuit.The presiding judge on the case recused himself days after the videos were released.

I can remember the truly pathetic hyperbole we got about the Wii U from Nintendo fans pre-release spouting such groundless fantasy land wishful thinking as first full HD CoD on consoles! 1080p 60fps Assassin's Creed 3 and Mass Effect 3! Best version of Arkham City by a mile! 3rd parties will instantly flock to make games for it instead of other companies consoles!
The reality? Same sub-HD CoD we've always gotten with the worst performance of any Black Ops 2 version by far. Nintendo fans now acting like ALMOST on par ports of AC3 and ME3 compared to PS360 is a victory that somehow justifies their console's price tag. The single WORST version of Arkham City available and a 2013 release schedule that is all but barren of anything resembling third party (Or even first party!) support.
The "graphics" on the console are, at best, on par with PS360, and even that much is debatable. There is simply no evidence that proves otherwise and anyone claiming the Wii U is more powerful needs to spend less time feasting on whatever fresh bull**** Reggie has served them up this week.

Not really...any moderately powerful mid-range gaming capable PC should be able to max it just fine - the GTX 460 machine in my sig runs it maxed out smoothly and it's a pretty standard i7/GTX 460 build. If you hadn't upgraded in 4-7 years I'd imagine you'd have problems maxing out most newer games.

Wii U CPU is clocked lower and from the "looks" of it, it has 3 PPC 750 cores. I'm not even sure if Marcan himself is 100% sure about that.
Technically it has 4x the RAM, but just over 2x available for games. 1GB for games, compared to less than 512 available for the PS360 (let's not forget the RAM reserved for the OS for those two, which isn't much)
And the GPU hasn't been confirmed just yet. It's been heavily rumored to be based of the RV770, (4830, 4850, 4870), while some may believe it to be of the RV740 (4770, based on the process, which is 40nm, matching what some see on the GPU itself). The GPU will be at least 2 times more capable (it will NOT go further down than that, this "2x" would be if Nintendo decided to pick the lower one of the possibilities). I believe it was Ideaman (I think that's his name) from NeoGaf who had a small look at a dev kit (non final) that stated it would be at LEAST 2x Xenos (would likely be more than that), but hasn't taken a look at the final dev kit. A GPU 2-4x more powerful than Xenos was what I was thinking.
Just for fun, here's a 4850 in action with a duo core CPU, which would perform better on Wii U due to the GPU being in a console environment:

It's a last generation Radeon, but it'll still crush the PS360 in terms of graphics. ;)

I also have some basic application training through Avon and Mary Kay as I used to sell it and was informally trained at doing makeup for my classes. However, I would like to gain more experience in this area and more knowledge on doing MUA work for local photographers. Please feel free to message me if you are interested in helping!

The Zanesville Muskingum County Port Authority hopes a new designation will be a tool to bring business to our area.
At Wednesday's meeting the port met with the Columbus Regional Port Authority about becoming part of Foreign Trade Zone number 138, which includes the Rickenbacker area.
"A foreign trade zone is an area designated outside the stream of U.S. commerce. By being in a foreign trade zone you can delay or reduce or eliminate duties for companies," explained Zanesville-Muskingum Port Authority Executive Director Mike Jacoby.
A duty is essentially a tax or a fee that importers of good to the country pay. Only a small percentage of businesses fall under the designation, but it could make a big difference if those companies import enough.
"It remains to be seen what the benefit will be," said Jacoby. "What it is, is a tool to help us with existing companies or bring in new companies."
The Columbus Port has been pushing for the new Foreign Trade Area for the last year because of the limited market in their area.

Def Efficiency: Hornets 99.5(5th), Kings 107.3 (23rd)
Thanks to the amazing Dariusz Ejkiewicz for the Game Day Banner.
The Kings are coming to town just in time. Hopefully this game will mark a turning point for the Hornets just like the last one did. Since the last time these two teams met, the Hornets are only 3-9. The Kings have been even worse, winning only one of their last 11 games.
Edit- Tyreke Evans is in the starting lineup for the Kings.
With Tyreke Evans possibly out with an injury this game could be a blowout. Anything less is bad news. Honestly, even with Tyreke in the game the Hornets take just about every match up (excuse me for not analyzing them), and most of them rather convincingly. The crowd is expected to be relatively large for a game against Sacramento, so the team should have an extra bounce in their step right off the bat. I'm calling blowout.
What to watch:
- Luther Head on Chris Paul. Last game Head limited Paul to only 2-12 shooting, and the Hornets struggled overall on offense. Paul did wind up with 15 assists, but anyone watching that game knows that Head did a good job.
- Marcus Thornton- With the Hornets offense floundering as the season progresses, it will be interesting to see if Thornton can step up and make Monty Williams take notice. He should get an opportunity.
- Demarcus Cousins- I really liked what I saw in summer league from this guy, but during already he's been a menace in the locker room for Sacramento. He has the body and the skills for the NBA, but it remains to be seen what his mental future holds. He will battle Okafor early on, and if Emeka can get him into foul trouble, this thing could blow open pretty early.
In the attendance world, the Business Council of New Orleans has pledged to buy 50,000 dollars worth tickets to boost attendance. The Save Our Hornets Foundation is sending a group of boy scouts to the game today to kick off our giving, and a number of other local businesses have seen to it that tonight's game will be much more crowded than it would have been otherwise. The community is getting involved and that's good news for all basketball fans.
With 12 games left to meet the attendance deadline, the Hornets need 178,596 fans total, meaning we need to average 14,883 per game.
I'm hearing that Charter and CST have a deal done. Everything sounds really promising.
Watch party pics will be posted when I get a chance tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who came. We'll do it again soon for sure.

Tale of Two Halves, Part II
To Everyone who questions everytime i mention marcus- ziko LReazy anyone else u guys realize marcus won us this game tonight along with okafor... he played great d got lost on a back door cut but the guy missed the layup and he was amazing again offensively putting in effort.
Holy Farts I can't believe we won, thank ypu MT5
Kinda fitting that Marcus is on the Banner today smiling. In the End it even looked like Cp3 was (finally) accepting Marcus.
This just in: Marcus needs to play more, and Belinelli less.
Have to give Monty some credit here for the three guard lineup move. We did to the Kings what the Spurs did to us when they used the three guard lineup
MARCUS! THORNTON! No Ariza the whole 4th quarter
WHO DAT?! Thornton dat!
Thornton say he's gonna beat dem Saints?
If Marcus doesn't get a significant increase in playing time after this performance, our coaches are without a doubt blind.
yeah seriously...the main issue during this slump looks like the lack of offense. when thornton is in he attacks the bucket and hustles. he may be a little trigger happy but id rather him shoot than any other of the guards besides cp3.
MARCUS THORNTON bitch slapped the KINGS I really love it
Thornton with the game winning Put-back.
marcus thornton!!!!
thornton for the win! what hustle! 2 tips.
faceplam @ DWest missed free throws. Lol @ Cousins constant traveling.
Thornton getting his most minutes here, and suddenly the Hornets offense doesn't like like a mess
did thornton just get put back into the game!?!
damnit MONTY! start MT5. We dont need to trade 4 a scoring two gurad cause we got one right here. Demps needs to go after a starting 3guard. Ariza doesnt cut it as a starter and never did. GET TO DEALIN DELL!
I forgot Ariza was on the team...lol
lol gimmie melo
OMGGGGGGGG taking out CP3 bet not backfire on us, Monty!!!!!!!!!! too late..............
Ouch, Smith just got kicked hard in the balls
Really Hope Monty is watching Marcus Shine right now.
He had a good view.
Now if only Monty will let Marcus start games, or atleast be the 6th man. He's playing really well (understatement) with CP3.
REALLY well!!
and when we play the next game, monty wont play thornton. Last season he didnt play when scott was coaching, then bowers played him and in 28 minutes per game when he started he averaged 19 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, in 28 minutes a game!!!! only 4 players in nba history have averaged 20 points, 5 reb. and 5 assists in their rookie season. Lebron, Michael Jordan, oscar robinson, and tyreke evans. they all played over 40 minutes a game, thornton did 20 4 and 4 in 28 minutes!!! and hes not playing?!?!?! look at what he does when he plays! Monty must be blind
finally we r showin a little resiliency. "oh look.. da hornets r actin like they dont wanna lose!!"
i wud vote this up 1000 times if i cud!!!
Marcus's intensity is contagious.
Marcus has officially gotten us back into the game!
To all Marcus-skeptics: Who is cutting to the basket? Who is hustling? Who is blocking shots? Who is getting steals? Who is making their shots? Mr. Marcus Thornton.
Marcus is trying harder than anyone on the floor right now, including Chris
And we see what the result of effort is! Buckets with the spark. Hopefully the rest keep burning as a result.
WTH is going on!!! What team is this? Which team on this court has 5 wins cause if I didn't know any better, I'd swear it was the Hornets! We started 11-1 and knew we'd come back down to earth at some point but we have PLUMMETED!!!
this is embarrassin. we r bein sabotaged by our own damn players! y do the hornets always end up with the damn devon browns of the league? its not fair. just because our management was bad and our trades where horrible, y do the fans have to suffer? we r tired of people comin in our house, blowin us out? the worst home refs in da league. goodness, terrible
Thornton is our only hope. I am hoping Monty realised we need him much more. Not only does he bring instant offense, he hustles and brings energy. He will not turn the ball over either
And then after a pathetic first half were gonna come out and let them out play us even worse. Monty Williams obviously doesnt know what to say or what to do, he uses the same rotations night in and night out and it gets worse and worse. I cant even watch this or any hornets games any more, this fuckin team doesnt give a damn, so im going to start not givin a damn.
Who said blowout??? This is horrendous!
hahah, wow. I don't know what else to do but laugh. This game is just hilariously pathetic. word of advice to the team: KEEP SHOOTING MORE JUMP SHOTS GUYS!
Down by 16 to Sac-town huh? Well hell. Let's blow this thing up. It was a fun start, but bottom line is this team is flawed and will remain that way. How about this: Chris Paul-Emeka Okafor-Willie Green-Marcus Banks to Orlando for Vince Carter (exp), Marcin Gortat, Jameer Nelson, Brandon Bass, Ryan Anderson, Daniel Orton, and a first round pick. David West-Jason Smith to Minnesota for Kevin Love and Kosta Koufous
Not gonna lie, I think we should hold on to Mr. Paul. However, I really am enjoying the idea of a trade at this point, because this is the worst I have seen an NBA team play in quite a while.
This team flat out can't score!!! It's embarassing!!! Can we please find some offensive talent somewhere. It's definitely not on this roster!!!
I envision Monty throwing shit and spit flying as he yells during half time. At least that's what I would be doing right now. At least try to wake this team up, and light a fire under them. Ugh, just a garbage game.
Stagnant. CP3 dribbles most of the shot clock, Monty takes the only player that is hustling out. No energy, no effort. 11-1 and now this.
So much for a blowout. Looks to be the other way around. No defensive intensity whatsoever, not much offensive intensity either. The Kings are shooting almost 58%. All I can say is that the Hornets are pretty much playing like THE WORST team in the league. They certainly look like it

After unexpectedly losing our first wedding venue (as described in my previous post), Mr. C and I were forced to start our search anew. It was frustrating to start over, especially because Mr. C and I were about to start the new school year. We definitely don't have a lot of time during the school year to drive around and interview vendors.
After touring three venues we did not visit during our first search, we decided to check out a lead on a brand new venue in our area. In fact, it was so new that at the time it didn't have a website nor had it held any weddings! One of our good friends is married to an event planner at a local hotel and she heard through the vendor grapevine that a catering company had recently purchased a property about 20 minutes from our home. It sounded very promising.
The venue is called Cloverleaf Farm and it is owned and operated by A Divine Event catering, which is based out of Atlanta. They own several properties in Atlanta and Northeast Georgia that they use for weddings and other events. Cloverleaf Farm is their latest acquisition, and when we visited them in July they were busy landscaping, painting, and fixing up an old barn on the property. We were given the grand tour and I saw limitless potential! There are so many amazing options, and it meant we could get married outside, under the trees, and hold the reception inside the sprawling 150-year-old home. No need for tents! I loved all the fields and trees, the rambling wooden fences, the sweet silence of the countryside. We loved the look inside the house too—worn wooden floors, high ceilings, a dramatic staircase, and stunning chandeliers. The event coordinator was awesome. I could tell she loved the property and she was so excited to show us around and explain their plans.

At first I did not like the idea of having tables and guests spread throughout the house and not grouped together in one room or under one tent. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized how lovely it would be to attend a wedding with that type of layout. You could wander and mingle about the house. You could sit and have a private conversation in one room, or sip a cocktail out on the lawn to escape the hustle and bustle inside. We could have the dance floor in the large main room and the cake table in the entryway. I also thought about our families—both my fiance and I come from families of divorce. Our moms are not exactly friendly (or even on speaking terms) with our stepmothers. The more spread out the guests, the better! In fact, I was dreading having both of our families crammed under one tent. This seemed like the perfect solution. And if for some reason we change our minds, there is plenty of space on their property to set up a tent.
Cloverleaf Farm also met our other requirements: it was close by, and we could serve our own alcohol and choose our own vendors with the exception of catering. Obviously a venue owned by a catering company would want you to use their catering services. A Divine Event is known for locally obtained and seasonal ingredients. They also take pride in simple and classic food presentation. When we consulted our friend's wife about this company she told us that they are one of the best in Athens. I was so excited to hear that! You see, initially catering wasn't one of our top priorities, but because we got such a great deal on the venue rental, we were able to fit this classy caterer into our budget. We went from settling with mediocre food to booking one of the best caterers in town. This is when I realized that, just as they say, all things happen for a reason. The previous venue snafu was justified in our finding Cloverleaf Farm and all the amazingly professional people we've worked with through them.

Not long after our first visit to Cloverleaf Farm, Mr. C and I signed a contract and mailed in a deposit check. It felt great to simultaneously check off both the venue and the caterer. I was also relieved to have finally settled our venue drama once and for all, and with a set date and location I could finally move forward with booking our other vendors.
Right now I'm excited because Cloverleaf Farm is holding their first wedding this fall, and I can't wait to see pictures on their Facebook page! To think that we will be there in just eight short months, pledging our lives to each other, is just too good to be true.

NEW YORK {AP} Mailrooms and delivery services across the country are putting new handling procedures in place, as letters contaminated with anthrax have shown up in offices in New York, Nevada and the nation's capital.
Mailroom employees are being warned to check packages for misspellings in common names and words, to look for powdery substances and excessive or inadequate postage, and to contact authorities about any suspicious mail.
The Postal Service announced the creation of a task force to examine mail security and hazardous-material safeguards. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued guidelines for handling letters and packages. And private delivery companies are scrutinizing their own procedures.
At NBC, where one employee contracted the skin form of anthrax and another has shown symptoms, the network has stopped accepting mail from the Postal Service.
"Our entire mail system is being looked at by professionals," spokeswoman Kassie Canter said. "Our interim procedure for the near-term future is that we're accepting UPS and FedEx, and they're being screened. Employees have the option not to accept anything."
New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said city officials received 82 calls by midday Monday and that 24 packages had been recovered for further investigation.
"So far none of them appear to be anything dangerous. Some of them have the scent of baby powder," Giuliani said.
In California, Gov. Gray Davis ordered state employees to stop handling letters and packages until they complete training sessions given by the California Highway Patrol.
"People are lining up around the block to take them," said Anne DaVigo, a Highway Patrol spokeswoman. "We're doing it just as fast as we can."
At a meeting of the National Postal Forum in Denver, Postmaster General Jack E. Potter told participants that the U.S. mail is safe.
"We cannot afford for that confidence to erode," Potter told representatives of corporate and government mailrooms. "With additional vigilance and additional work with our public, we won't let that happen."
FedEx Corp. employees were put on higher alert for suspicious mail.
FedEx is carefully screening packages and called the FBI about a few suspicious packages, all of which turned out to be false alarms, said Jess Bunn, a spokesman at the company headquarters in Memphis.
The company is also advising making gloves and respirators available to the employees.
In Washington, White House spokeswoman Anne Womack said mailroom security procedures have also been enhanced. She would not give details.
News organizations across the country said the same.
"We will look at packages and unless they say 'confidential,' they will be opened. Junk mail is being set aside for the time being while we streamline the process," CBS spokesman Dana McClintock said.

Awesome Study Reveals Texas Has the Most Pet Tigers Per Capita in the U.S.
Have you ever wondered what one thing Texas has more of per capita than any other state? Turns out it isn't BBQ restaurants or gun stores. Nope. It's pet tigers. Let that sink in for a moment. Pet. Tigers.
The website Estately made the claim in a new report.
According to the site: "With an estimated 10,000 to 20,000 pet tigers in Texas the state has more per capita than any other U.S. state. Not only that, there are more tigers in Texas than exist in the wild."
Next: Texas Women's Favorite Underwear Revealed
Besides being surprising, this easily tops some of the more depressing/weird things Texas' nearby states have more of per capita than other states.
New Mexico has the most cases of mental illness (and teen births and aggravated assaults — triple threat!) per capita, while Louisiana has the most people in prison. Arkansas has the most hate groups, Alabama has the most racist tweets and Oklahoma actually topped Texas for executing the most people. Ironic, since you'd have to kill us before we moved there.
Other unsurprising notables: New York has the most lawyers, California has the most people who brag on social media and Massachusetts has the most liberals per capita.
Need we even say it? God Bless Texas. And its tigers.
