Dollar Shave Club Review
Apparently I'm not the only guy sick of dropping major coin on my Mach III blades. I'm also not the only guy that has considered trying out DollarShaveClub.com. It's also clear that because I have a lot of real estate to shave, I would be a good test subject for all of my friends on facebook and twitter. Let's just say I got more than a few "let me know how it goes" messages. So, because you asked, here's my review after day one.
I ordered my blades 3 days ago and they arrived as promised. I went with the $1 package which ended up being $3 per month with shipping and handling. As promised, the initial package arrived with a brand new handle (plastic, but who cares), 5 blades, a membership card and a business card. I love their entire marketing campaign. It's fun and dude friendly. Since it was 1:00pm on a Saturday and I was still in my PJ's, I figured why not give it a test run and get dressed (in that order of course).
The blades obviously don't feel like the $800 Mach III but it was a nice close shave. The $1 shaver has 2 blades but you can upgrade to a more expensive package with more blades if you so wish. Since I'm cheap, I figured let's start at the $1 and see how it goes. I'm pleased with the results. One other note is you can actually opt to go REAL cheap and have them ship blades every other month which would be a total cost of $12 per year. You can't get a package of single blade Bic's for that price! So, here's the low down:
- Savings
- Ease of shipping to the house
- Shaves well
- Free handle
- Even worked on my unibrow (don't judge me)
- It did what it was supposed to.
- It didn't give me MORE hair, but maybe it'll be there when I wake up.
- Not sure what else it could have done besides what it was supposed to.
* 4/12 UPDATE!! Now that I've been using my razors from DollarShaveClub.com for over a month, here's a quick follow up. I recently upgraded to the 4 blade plan to give it a try. Total cost was $6/mo. The handle is metal and the overall feel of the razor is much stronger. There is nothing wrong with the $1/mo plan. I actually went several weeks before changing blades and only used 2 the entire month. I just wanted to try the 4 blade for a smoother shave.
**UPDATE 2 – Just used the 4 blade ($6/mo) for the first time and it might be the best shave I've ever had. No exaggeration. Do yourself a favor and upgrade to that one. Well worth it. No shipping and handling on that either. Just $6/mo. Awesome.
So there you have it. I give it a full thumbs up. Give it a try. What have you got to lose? You can sign up for the DollarShaveClub.com – HERE.

Same 6 blade cartridge & handle are sold @ K-Mart,….Same Korean Manufacturer. The blades cost $8.99. I purchased 2 containers of cartridges & received 50% off the second container.
Daniel Clements
So you're saying it's a better idea to go K-Mart and get them? If so what's the name of the blade?
Daniel Clements
Thanks Aaron, definitely will check it out now. I just wanted a honest opinion that's why I turned to your review. That and because it was the first one to come up on Google. 🙂

Did you also tell everyone how many gallons of gas you used to go to the store? Thats the perk of dollar shave the delivery for quality cheap blades
Melissa Moses Krantz
Thanks so much for the review Aaron! I actually came across the Dollar Shave Club website (was looking for cheaper alternatives to the Gillette Fusion blades my hubby buys) and wanted to read some reviews. When I Googled "Dollar Shave Club reviews," your blog was the first to pop up. I am Bethany's neighbor and we've met before at her kids' birthday parties (small world)!! At any rate, I will feel much better signing up for this club after knowing that someone we know has had a positive experience. Thanks again!
I don't know if the link in your post leads to your sign up a friend page, because I definitely used it. Great review, and if that link doesn't lead to you getting the $5 credit you should update because your review is the first thing that pops up on the Google search for reviews. Juuuuust sayin

Received my blades in 3 days from Dollar Shave Club, awesome. The following month my blades were 8 days overdue. There is no contact number so I couldn't call, red flag and very shadey. All I got was a " contact us" button, so hit it and typed that my blades were overdue, I never got a reply. On the morning of the 10th day I went with a blade company called Dorco and sent another message to DSC to cancel my membership. That afternoon I received my blades from DSC and put return to sender on them. Three days after my order with Dorco I got my blades and STILL haven't heard from DSC. My guess is, they're probably going to keep the blades I sent back to them and my $6. Check out the prices on Dorcousa.com, they're cheaper and the same quality blades as DSC. I got 10 months worth of blades for me and my girl ( Six blade system btw ) for $27, handels and all. There's free shipping for orders over $25. Check it out, you'll save plenty of money and you won't be sorry.
Big W
Ok kool… If I'm stepping on your toes let me know, I'll back off…
Big W
Great… Check the link out, let me your thoughts on it.
DSC gets their 6 blade razor from dorco from what I've read. DSC apparently responded that they offer the convince of automatic delivery every month but that you can buy the same or similar razors elsewhere online. Dorco also offers 3 and 4 blade options that are all interchangeable with their handles so it's easy to try different blades. As long as you don't mind ordering blades yourself instead of getting auto delivery they are a cheaper alternative and have more selection.
I received the DSC Executive Razor ($9/mo) in a Bespoke Post box. It is CLUNKY! I'm looking for a replacement for the Fusion, but this isn't it. The blade head is massive and has a small pivot range. Jawline and neck results were not good. I almost expect the $6/mo razor to be a better performer…sticking with the Fusion for now.
The razors are fine, but expect lots of SPAM. Within 8 hours of my sign-up I had over 100 SPAM emails to an account that normally gets 2-3 per day. Seems like the profit model is selling your name to every spammer out ther
Thanks for creating this blog Aaron. Very helpful. Looks like there's a lot of room for personal preference. I signed up for the Shave Club, the guinea pig for my friends and co-workers. I'm cursed with sensitive skin and a relatively tough beard. With the old Atra II and Sensor, my neck would have numerous bleeding cuts. [Every man who shaves should keep some Nick Relief Styptic Powder on hand…available from amazon…it's amazing for stopping razor cut bleeding.] Mach3 was an improvement, and finally the Fusion was liberating. The extra under-the-nose blade helps, too. Great cartridges, but I hate paying for them. For me the Club cartridge has to equal the Sensor for shave closeness and comfort. I found the $6/month 4-blade cartridge lacking in shave closeness. Compared to Sensor it left some visibly under-shaved areas on my face, and I could feel a little more stubble everywhere with the same shaving pattern and pressure. I've upgraded to the $9/month 6-blade but have not received yet. In the meantime, I ordered a "Dorco Pace 6" handle and blades from Amazon. Wow, every bit as good as Fusion, maybe better. I suspect these are the exact same blades as the Club 6-blade. Will update in a couple weeks after I receive from the Club. The Dorco 6-blade cartridge is big and flat, so some folks won't like it. But it does have the helpful extra blade for under-the-nose. Overall for me it outperforms the Club 4-blade cartridge. The Dorco package I ordered was available via Amazon Prime with free shipping. Dorco also has its own website at dorcousa.com with free shipping over $25. So here's the per-cartridge cost comparison (ignoring shipping and sales tax):
Costco Replacement Packs
Fusion Pro–$3.29
Dollar Shave Club
6-blade exec–$2.25
2-blade–$.80 (this includes shipping..$4 per month total, 5 cartridges per month)
Dorco Pace 6 16-pk refills–$1.62
Dorco Pace 6 kit w/ 10 carts and handle–$2.00 per cartridge
*They have Pace 4 as well for less.
Smart Sense 6-blade–$2.25
By the way, I tried HeadSlick shave cream for my head. So nice I use it exclusively for face shaving. Available at most CVS/Walgreen type stores, also from Amazon.
Dollar Shave Club 6-blade Executive cartridges arrived right on schedule. The Club 6-blade cartridge is the exact same product as the Dorco Pace-6 cartridge. Excellent, comfortable close shave. So you could order from the Dollar Shave Club or purchase from other sources. I think the convenience of the Club is well worth the extra few dollars a year. For me the 6-blade cartridge is good for 2+ weeks, so I can get away with the Club "every other month" option.

I was so suprised to see you reviewing this! I went to college with you for a couple years! Lol. I was friends with Kim S. and Tony. Small world! I was looking up reviews for this to make sure it wasn't a scam before I signed us up. You were the first review to pop up. Crazy! Good to know that it seems ligit. Thanks for the info! I will be signing up to check them out.
Ordered the 4x plan for my son, who is in college. Nice deal and is inexpensive compared to purchasing in supermarkets or drugstores. He loves the close shave. His frat caught on quickly.. Just added the Shea butter to next shipment.
People start couponing I haven't paid for a razor in 12 years !
Do the cartridges fit on the Mach 3 handle?
Do you use this on your head also?
I've been sticking with the Mach III because my experience with other blades is that they make me bleed profusely (my head is a bit knobby). Mach III seems to have a bit of suspension on the blades.
Mr. Frugal
If you want to save money on shaving, here's an invaluable tip: Since most of what dulls a thin razor's edge is oxidization, here's how to make any razor last 3x-4x longer…get a PLASTIC container and put 1″ of mineral oil or baby oil into it. Store the razor's head in the oil on your shower shelf. When the head of the razor is in the oil, air cannot get to it and therefore it cannot oxidize/rust as quickly. Using this method, you will EASILY expand the life of any razor and save yourself BUKU.

I have been using Dollar Shave club for a few months now, like the shave butter and the blades work well too. I will be a DSC member for a long time.
Mike Pockrus
The Dollar Shave Club blades are crap. I bought my first pack of the $6 blades and NONE of them lasted even one week. Three of the four broke after four uses. The design of the blade in conjunction with the swivel head put all of the stress on a tiny, thin piece of plastic on the blade. Just snaps right off. Cancelled after one month.

What's up to every one, for the reason that I am actually
eager of reading this website's post to be updated on a regular
basis. It contains good stuff.
Just wanted to put in my 2 cents. I have been using the $6 razor and I love it. Price is awesome, convenience of being dropped in my mailbox once a month is fantastic, and the quality is better than I expected to be honest. 4 razors for $6 is extremely affordable. I shave my face and head so it gets a workout. Not sure why previous poster had his breaking all the time but between my face and head I shave a minimum of 10 times a week and they last at least 2 weeks. I actually have 8 extra razors in my cabinet as we speak. Also the gf uses it when she takes a bath at my house and loves it also. To anyone considering it you have nothing to lose by at least trying them out for a month or 2. And I am not affiliated at all with DSC. I am in the insurance business for any of the disbelievers out there. Good product at an affordable price!

using the old double edge razor, can find the handle at beauty shops, and the blades are very very inexpensive sold at all stores that sell shaving stuff. Great shave and a whole lot cheaper than anything else on the market. P.S. the blades are really sharp so if you aren't careful and go a little slower you "will" cut yourself until you get use to using it. I used this (still do) back in the 60's before disposable blades were available. Just saying.

European peatlands could turn from carbon sinks to sources as a quarter have reached levels of dryness unsurpassed in a record stretching back 2,000 years, according to a new study. This trend of "widespread" and "substantial" drying corresponds to recent climate change, both natural and human-caused, but may also be exacerbated by the peatlands being used for agriculture and fuel.
This primer explains the current situation concerning the United Kingdom's food supply and how this is likely to change in the medium and long term as a result of climate change. It discusses likely threats to UK food security emerging from a range of potential warming scenarios and the current policy debate on how to address them effectively.
High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini hosted on 22 June 2018 an unprecedented high level event - Climate, Peace and Security: The Time for Action - which drove home both the urgency and importance of tackling the risks that climate change poses to security and peace. Ministers from around the world, top United Nations officials, and leading experts testified to the many real and potential security threats deriving from climate change.
Achieving Zero Hunger in Europe and Central Asia requires supporting smallholders and family farmers to reduce poverty and, in the face of climate change, managing natural resources in a sustainable way, FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva said on 16 May 2018.
The EU's decision to phase out palm oil biodiesel is likely to backfire, with negative repercussions not just on the countries concerned but also on international relations and the climate. The EU should hence invest more heavily in climate diplomacy in order to find a real solution to problems such as deforestation and wildlife loss.
Former UN climate Chief Christiana Figueres, one of the architects of the Paris Agreement, has called on the European Union to step up regulatory action against deforestation in the global south by tackling emissions of imported agricultural goods like beef, soy and palm oil.
France likes to be seen as a leader on climate action, but when it comes to the role of forests, the country's priorities lie elsewhere.
There has been a surge in international migration in recent years, reaching a total of 244 million individuals in 2015. Forced displacement has also reached a record high, with 65.3 million individuals displaced worldwide by the end of 2015 – including refugees, IDPs and asylum seekers. Yet while the absolute numbers have increased over the last 15 years, migrants as a percentage of total global population has remained stable at about three percent. A majority of migrants remain on their own continents – nearly nine out of ten African migrants settle on the African continent, while eight out of ten Asian migrants remain in Asia. Forced displacement is predominantly an issue outside wealthy economies:
nine out of ten refugees are hosted by low and middle-income countries.
Food is inexorably linked to many areas of policy – from climate change to sustainable development to conflict to migration. The EU has become a major player in ensuring global food security, both through its engagement in sustainable development and humanitarian assistance programmes. Daniele Fattibene argues that it should therefore develop its food diplomacy under the aegis of the European External Action Service (EEAS) and its security policy.
Assessing the positive impacts of climate action, an approach which considers the broad spectrum of social, economic and health benefits, has increasingly gained global recognition. This is due, in part, to the insightful work done by the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate. On this platform, Christian Friis Bach from UNECE noted on February 2016: "Taking into account such co-benefits can radically change the picture and demonstrate that action can pay off, not only in the long term, but also in the short to medium term." With the Paris Agreement recently ratified by the European Union (EU), what is the potential of the benefits approach for achieving these new commitments in Europe?
On June 3rd 2016, the European Union joined six of its Member States and 14 other countries – including China and the United States – and became the 21st member of Mission Innovation,
In close cooperation with the Climate Action Summit, the European Union is organizing this flagship climate action event to highlight and promote the green economy as a formidable transatlantic opportunity for economic growth, innovation, and climate action.
One of the last biodiversity hotspots in Europe was also backdrop to one of its last violent conflicts and now home to its newest nation states. The Prokletije/Bjeshket e Nemuna Mountains, often referred to as the Southern Alps, are a large expanse of wilderness and stunning alpine landscapes that form the border between Montenegro, Albania, and Kosovo.

The Pet Team
Trust My Pet Sitter founders built a pet care app that connects pet owners with pet sitters based on what's most important to them.
CCO and Co- Founder
CEO and Co-Founder
DCO and Co Founder
Our Story
Founders Angela Fagan, Shamus and Sinead Fitzsimons created Trust My Pet Sitter after struggling to find suitable care for their pets when travelling. With 3 dogs and 2 cats it wasn't always easy to find a family member or friend to watch them. Often planned getaways were put on hold as suitable arrangement couldn't be found - Kennels and Catteries were not an option, as the pets were too precious to be caged. They tried sending the dogs to a dog boarder, being looked after in someone else's house, but that just left them unsettled in an unfamiliar environment with strange pets. The Cats had someone pop in to feed them, but they got lonely after a few days and were very grumpy on their return!
They thought there must be a better way of doing this, could they find someone they trusted to come to their home and look after the pets? Being a pet lover is a way of life, the pet sitter would need to be experienced, be trustworthy and mindful of the routine, feeding and of course their home. Combining a House Sitter with a Pet Sitter, their task was to find people like them.
They created Trust My Pet Sitter because they wanted to make Pet Sitting a profession people could choose to follow, travelling the world looking after other people's pets. A way of life for pet lovers who love to travel, from retirees to career break professionals to Millennials choosing a different career path. The additional features on the app are available to search for Pet Owners and Pet Sitters by Country, Date, Pet Type and Price per night.
Aleksa Prebiracevic, a Computer Science Graduate joined the team in January 2019 as CTO with a responsibility for managing and directing the front and back end platform functions and design.
Trust My Pet Sitter have teamed up with PawSquad which lets you video call or text chat with a UK-registered vet absolutely free at any time of day or night, 365 days a year. They have also teamed with YOTI to verify identity across 130 countries within minutes, helping to keep the Trust My Pet Sitter community safe and identifiable.

Ben Affleck & Nanny Affair Rumors Surface Again
After a major celebrity couple decides to breakup, it's almost inevitable for rumors about the end of their relationship to start surfacing. That is what's happening now with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's separation following their sad announcement in June 2015 — and, in this case, the rumors are pretty damaging. Despite the fact that Affleck and Garner have seemingly split under friendly terms, new tabloid gossip is suggesting something much more illicit — even though reps have stated that there is no truth to the rumors. According to an anonymous source for Us Weekly, Affleck is rumored to have been dating his children's former nanny, Christine Ouzounion — rumors that allegedly prompted both the separation announcement and Ouzounion's firing. Though the rumors were quickly denied by Affleck's rep, according to E! Online, a "friend close to Ouzounion" is speaking out about them.
According to E! News, Ouzounion's alleged friend was the one who spilled details about the rumored relationship between the nanny and the Argo actor/director. The friend reportedly said that Affleck and Ouzounion's relationship had become "serious" to Ouzounion in recent months, and that they often hung out without Affleck and Garner's three children. According to this friend, Garner allegedly decided to fire Ouzounion after she learned that the nanny and her husband had been "intimate" while the family was vacationing together.
That might all sound very Hollywood and very, very juicy, but it's also highly likely that it's untrue. Affleck's rep vehemently denied that anything unprofessional or romantic was going on between Ouzounion and the actor after Us Weekly ran a story about their alleged affair, and so far, the only people speaking out about it are these so-called anonymous friends of Ouzounion. Even Ouzounion is staying mum on the subject, which makes the whole thing seem completely fabricated for the tabloids.
The salacious tale almost reads too cookie-cutter to be true. Cute nanny in the picture? Well, clearly she must be the temptress having a secret torrid affair with the Hollywood husband. These things may happen, but they definitely happen a lot less frequently than tabloids would suggest that they do.
So far, the only thing that we really have to go off with here is Affleck's and Garner's word — and as of now, they're staying silent and denying these claims through their reps. Affleck and Garner are busy people who just made a huge life change — these rumors aren't exactly worth their time. Let's hope that Garner and Affleck's split is able to stay as friendly as possible, because for the sake of everyone involved, no one needs more pain added to this situation.

With our CNC machining and turning machines we can - according to the design of our engineers - in several positions finishing the complicated configuration castings. We control the machined castings with a 3D measuring machine WENZEL.

After signing on today, I opened YouTube. After opening the page, I felt led to watch an interview, of Verne Troyer. Verne Troyer played the character"Mini-Me" in the Austin Powers movies.
While watching the interview, Verne said something to the interviewer that stood out to me. When asked by the interviewer concerning people looking at him because of his dwarfism, Verne said, "I feel normal, you guys are weird."
From what Verne shared during the interview, he was/is living with a rare form of dwarfism.
Watching the Interview
As I watched the interview I was drawn by Verne's endearing personality and his sense of confidence.
As I watched the interview I was reminded by the thought that: "It is not as important what happens to us, but how we respond to what happens to us."
As I watched the interview, Mr. Troyer exuded a sense of acceptance and empowerment. As I watched the interview, I thought about a quote.
"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." Mark Twain
Instead of being angry because of his physical size and apparent limitations, Verne appeared as large as John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan — 6'5″ and 300lbs) in the movie,"The Green Mile".
The Decision
In life, we may be presented with a set of circumstances that appear to be limiting and disadvantageous. In life we are faced with how we are going to either react to or respond to what happened or happens to us.
In life we are faced with the decision. The decision of whether we are going to stay disgruntled, embittered and defeated (OR) whether we are going to see our circumstances as an opportunity to be empowered.
The decision of whether we are going to stay stuck or whether we are going to find a way to live our best lives.
Time may be Limited
In the interview, Verne mentioned another individual who lived with the same kind of dwarfism. He said that this man (who also was an actor) died at the age of 72. The interview, which turned out to be his last. Mr. Verne Troyer passed away at the age of 49. Michael Clarke Duncan of The Green Mile passed away at the age of 54.
Today's Thought
Regardless of our particular set of circumstances, we are all faced with similar decisions.
Are we going to stay stuck, disgruntled, embittered and defeated or are we going to find a way to live our best lives?
Although we may look and feel different we can adopt an attitude similar to Verne Troyer's attitude.
"I feel normal, you guys are weird." Verne Troyer
An attitude that will empower us to move forward and create our best lives, regardless of what other people may say or think about us.
Their expectations or lack of expectations no longer have to dictate our hopes, dreams or our destiny.
Mr. Verne Troyer's Last Interview
"I feel normal, you guys are weird." Verne Troyer ( of mini-me fame in "Austin Powers" movies) The Spy Who Shagged Me and Goldmember with Mike Myers)
Going to the Grave with the Song still in Me
I do not want to be among those individuals who go to the grave with the song still in them.
"Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them." Henry David Thoreau

Once I became a grown up I could do what I want when I want within reason. I am not sure when I am going to move past the 6 year old mind set point. I am very resistant to community because I rarely want what the group think tank wants which I suspect is actually what the loudest voices really want.

My microwave quiche recipe started out so-called "healthy", but I never did make it exactly (substituting More Vegetables for the shrimp and scallions it called for) and somewhere along the way it stopped having crust because it was too much trouble, and nowadays I make it with two eggs instead of one, and milk instead of half-and-half because I keep milk around now, and the amount of cheese is never measured, just whatever looks like enough. Also I've been using half whole wheat flour in my cookies and cakes since sometime in the mid-70s. But I have family cake recipes that call for half a dozen eggs. So who knows what's healthy?

Actually - I'm both - but it kind of depends on the situation. Maybe I'm just 'inconsistent'?

I'm a morning person, but only if I don't HAVE to get up; want desperately to be asked/invited/picked - but, then hang back or get all persnickety; love color - but end up picking out monochrome oriented fashion; like a simple life - but inevitably end up with 'complications'; the list goes on an on for this little bundle of conflicts.

So, I am forever grateful that there is a welcome mat out at Cranky Fitness for us "like minded" folk; a place where it's equally 'safe' to rant AND support. Thanks, Crabby!!

The Return of Value
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
AN INTERVIEW WITH MARVIN SCHWARTZ ~ When Neuberger Berman went public last fall, it came as a surprise to some that the largest shareholder of the venerable money-management company wasn't founder Roy Neuberger, but rather Marvin Schwartz. Indeed, outside the hallways of Neuberger Berman and beyond New York investment circles, Schwartz is mostly unknown. But more people should know Schwartz. They might be richer for the experience. He is the man the partners at Neuberger Berman have turned to for many years to increase their wealth. The 59-year-old Schwartz has been with Neuberger since 1961, when he began working in the research department part time for $1.25 an hour. For all but a few years, Schwartz worked with one of the original senior partners, Philip Straus, who developed the lucrative business of managing money for high-net-worth individuals for the firm-known as the Straus Group. In seven of the past 11 years, the value-oriented team bested the S&P 500 and other relevant benchmarks. When Roy Neuberger insisted in 1966 that Schwartz be made a general partner, Straus objected, concerned that Schwartz was too young. "He was probably right," Schwartz jokes. In a recent interview, the first he has ever granted, Schwartz met a visitor in a corner office that appeared abandoned, used only at odd moments such as this. It is really the office of the recently retired Straus, and Schwartz, the gracious protege, is reluctant to take up the space. Read on to hear where Schwartz, with help from managing directors David Weiner, Gregory Francfort and Jeremy Kramer, is putting his money now.
--Sandra Ward
Barron's:You describe the early days of Neuberger Berman
as a shop that prided itself on its growth picks. How did it come to earn a
reputation for value?
Schwartz: In those days, if you invested in growth you didn't pay the kind of super-premium multiples that you have to pay today. While we are known as value-oriented investors, make no mistake about it, any value investor in his right mind wants growth attached to the value. In our case, if a company's earnings grow seven, eight or nine years out of 10, instead of 10 out of 10, and if you can buy the stock at a very reasonable multiple of earnings, that's fine. We define value as the discipline of buying common stocks of companies with growing earnings, strong balance sheets, managements that are highly confident and shareholder-focused, that sell for relatively low multiples of current earnings and cash flow. We are looking to buy assets at 50%-80% on the dollar of what they are worth today or tomorrow, or what they would be worth in the event that lightning were to strike. And of course, lightning strikes most companies only once, in the sense of selling out.
Most companies today have a transaction value that's in the area of 20 times earnings. A good A-rated company, by and large, has a management and a board and directors who want to realize approximately 20 times earnings in a sale, not necessarily to a financial buyer, but certainly to a synergistic buyer where substantial cost savings can be achieved. We like the luxury of believing we own truly undervalued assets. That's what Graham and Dodd were all about, perhaps to an extreme.
Q:Why extreme?
A: Because the valuation discounts aren't nearly as great as they used to be. First and foremost we are interested in buying absolute value, not too much relative value, although we do a certain amount of both.
Q:Can you give an example?
A: A company like International Business Machines , in my opinion, is outstanding on an absolute and relative value basis even though it is selling at 22 times next year's earnings. Someone could challenge me and say, "Well, it's really a relative value rather than absolute." But I do happen to think that's one example of a stock that is on the bargain counter today, strangely enough.
Q:What's your view of the markets here?
A: I'm afraid the volatility is something we are just going to have to live with into the future. We have a situation today where there are approximately 9,000 or 10,000 mutual funds in the United States. I think if you go back to 1990, there were between 1,500 and 2,000. We have as many mutual funds today as we have publicly held companies. And with all due respect, most portfolio managers are first and foremost interested in performance: quarterly performance, weekly performance, monthly performance. That leads them to look for trends and to pay a little less attention to old-fashioned underlying fundamentals. As soon as there is a disappointment of any sort, be it an earnings shortfall, perhaps even pennies per share, or a revenue shortfall, or the slightest negative whatsoever, many portfolio managers just see fit to unload huge quantities of stock at substantial discounts from where the stock was selling a day before.
I'll give you one example of where I took advantage of that kind of behavior. It hasn't worked out that great so far, but I think it will. About three months ago, Bristol-Myers Squibb closed one evening at 65 1/8 . They came out with an announcement that a new potential blockbuster drug, Vanlev, was not going to be brought to market as soon as everyone thought because a problem had developed and it was going to require more testing. Trading in the stock was stopped in the low 60s. It reopened at 48 1/4, and yet no one had cut an earnings estimate. This drug was going to be introduced nine months or a year out. It was going to be a big drug, but it was going to happen over a period of a few years. So the stampede out of the stock created an opportunity. And we see that get repeated, again and again, when companies have slight disappointments in earnings. On occasion, it does pay to sell at any price. But more often than not, depending upon the magnitude of the disappointment, if it happens at a quality company and if it is not fundamental to the long-term outlook, it behooves one to think of buying rather than selling it.
Q:Does the volatility work to the advantage of the
A: I would like to say yes. But every once in a while we own those stocks and get caught up in it, where a disappointment in earnings drives the stock very quickly from $137 a share -- where IBM was in September 1999 -- down to $90 a share in a period of maybe six or seven weeks.
Q:Has all this led you to rethink your process?
A: That gets to another issue, and that is the dramatic transformation that has taken place in the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index and the dominance and the narrowness with which a handful of companies have come to impact that index. You are aware of the magnificent seven technology companies: IBM, Intel , Cisco Systems , Microsoft , Lucent Technologies , Dell Computer and America Online . In 1996, these seven companies accounted for approximately 4.5% of the S&P 500. At that time they were selling at an average of 14 or 15 times earnings. By December of 1999, these seven companies accounted for 19% of the S&P 500 and they were selling for an average of something approaching 55 times earnings.
Now, if you are trying to compete performance-wise against this S&P 500 Index, which increasingly has become heavily dominated by a handful of companies because it's a market-weighted index, and you are perhaps not flexible enough or willing enough to pay those kinds of multiples, then you are going to have a problem. If you add to these seven companies General Electric , which by itself is 5% of the index, and Wal-Mart and one other company, 10 companies are 28% of the index. In 1998, as you know, the S&P 500 was up 28%, but 209 of the 500 stocks were down on the year. Another 52 additional companies were up 5% or less and the median performance of the index was up 3.9%. In 1999, when the index was up 21%, 258 of the 500 stocks were down on the year, 27 were up 5% or less and the median performance was minus 1.9%.
Q:But what's been your response to all this?
A: I didn't throw up my hands and join the hysteria. I suppose many value investors did. I am sure that some perhaps did it successfully. But I am also sure that many, perhaps the majority, did not do it so successfully. It requires more conversation, more explanation with your clients. And some of them will understand and accept what you are talking about and others may not. I can't tell you the last two years have been particularly happy years investment-wise, because they have not. But I've learned a couple of things over the years, and one thing we almost absolutely never do in our group is sell at the bottom or get in at the top of a mass hysteria.
Q:Does the macro environment interest you in
addition to technical factors?
A: Absolutely, I care about the macroeconomic environment. But at the end of the day, it's corporate earnings or the lack thereof that will drive stock prices. And corporate earnings continue to be in an unbelievable uptrend in this country. There is a little index called the Standard & Poor's Industrials -- not the Composite. And the S&P Industrials this year will probably have an all-time record after-tax profit margin on sales of 7.6%. The profit margin last year was 7.2%, and the previous high was 7.5%. The Industrials are showing a 17% improvement in earnings this year, as is the S&P 500. If you go back to 1990, the profit margin was about 3%, and it is absolutely a testament not only to the country's economic health, but to the managements of these companies, that in a noninflationary environment, which has characterized the economy for the last 10 years, it is possible to substantially improve the profit margin. That's attributable to a dramatic improvement in productivity, and it is also very much helped by the dramatic improvements in technology, which are real, which are growing and which, believe it or not, I certainly do believe in. But there has to be profitability attached to it. Corporate balance sheets have power. Between 1960 and 1990, a 30-year period, there were only three years when the S&P 500 had any free cash flow whatsoever. The S&P 500 was paying out 55% in dividends and the rest in capital expenditures. Now the dividend payout ratio in the S&P 500 is at a low point for the century. It is under 30%. Now 40% of all S&P 500 earnings represent free cash flow, and many of these companies are taking that free cash flow and either making acquisitions or buying their stock in.
Q:So profit margins of these companies are
expanding, but many of these companies are seeing their market caps shrink.
What does that say to you?
A: Well, it says that value is coming back. This is the United States and money isn't just left in the streets for too long before something happens to stop it or to reverse the trend. It happened in real estate a number of years ago. I don't want to date myself, but I remember what happened to New York City real estate in the mid-1970s. When the pendulum swings too far in one direction, it gets reversed as long as the fundamentals are sound. You see more and more companies buying their own stock back. The majority, the overwhelming majority, of companies doing that are not going to the bank to borrow the money to buy their stock. They are generating free cash flow, and more of them are coming to the realization that they are better off buying their stock in at eight to 15 times earnings then going out and using those funds to buy another company at a substantially higher multiple of earnings.

Refreshed Skoda Extraordinary validated
Refreshed Skoda Extraordinary validatedMay 30, 2013 Comments Off on Refreshed Skoda Extraordinary validated
• Redesigned nostril and tail for facelifted Superb
• Usual CO2 emissions of quantity diminished via 19 consistent with cent
• Quotes up, yet nonetheless competitive
If you really want lots of vehicle to your funds – todav automobile of outstanding area and flexibility and greater than proper end – then a pesar de todo lo contrario al uso Skoda Great ought to be for your shortlist.
The Spectacular has supplied a majority of these matters given that its debut in 2005, and offered the identical yet extra so – in addition to an peculiar blended bootlid and tailgate – with the 2008 technology. It's this identical automobile that has now gained todav overdue-lifestyles sharpening to sharpen its attraction.
Skoda's largest vehicle now fl agregarunts a refreshing face incorporating the company's new grille layout, this variation additionally prompting a pesar de todo lo contrario al uso resculpting of its bonnet, bumper and entrance wings. There are new headlights – incorporating distinctively organized strings of LEDs for the tip trims – and a gentle reshaping of the rear quit, with LED taillights around the board. Inner, there are new guidance wheel designs and, for the pinnacle-of-the-range Laurin & Klement model, a brown leather trim option that adds real class to this already well-presented cabin.
More useful than these design tweaks are an upgraded infotainment system, new individual release buttons for the hatchback's combined boot and tailgate openings, and a series of efficiency improvements to the Superb's six-strong engine range. For company car drivers, the most attractive of these may well be the eco-oriented Greenline, whose taller gearing (and sixth speed), low-rolling resistance tyres and aerodynamic modifications pull the 1.6 TDI diesel's CO2 emissions down to a competitive 109g/km.
The range starts, however, with a 125bhp 1.4 TSI petrol engine that, like all the diesels, includes stop-start. At the other end of the variety, however, there's todav 3.6-litre V6 petrol automatic that's likely to be of minority interest. The 2.0 TDI comes with 140bhp and 170bhp outputs, the latter expected to be a big-seller, along with the 125bhp 1.4 TSI. Paddle-shift DSG automatic transmissions, four-wheel drive and the choice of voluminous hatchback or gargantuan estate body styles complete the key choices, along with four trim levels.
However, you don't need to spend a lot of money to get the best from this car, as an initial drive in a high-end L&K 2.0 TDI 170 all-wheel drive wagon proved. Its diesel motor is more than strong enough to push the car's nose wide when you push the car hard, and the four-wheel drive system does little to help this big car around a bend. So, unless your winters feature regular dustings of snow, we wouldn't bother with all-wheel drive. What's more, the bigger 18-inch wheels, and perhaps the four-wheel drive mechanism, produce a restless patter from the ride even over apparently smooth surfaces. All of which adds up to a car that's capable but prefers not to be pushed along twisting country roads, even if it cruises well.
You might expect the 1.4 litre petrol engine to be disagreeable in a car this large, and while it's true that you'll be stretching the revs and getting very familiar with the Superb's six-speed gearbox, the process is a pleasure, the 125bhp engine being smooth, quiet and willing. The 1.4's lower weight and the absence of four-wheel drive makes this a far more nimble machine, and quite enjoyable, too, if you don't mind a bit of body roll. As with its bigger-engined brothers, this small-engined Superb is a relaxed long-distance machine, even if it takes a little longer to reach cruising speed.
The 1.4 engine comes only with the entry-level S trim, but you certainly won't feel short-changed, not least because the cabin's fixtures and fittings are of such high quality. Standard kit includes air-conditioning (and for the glovebox, too), Bluetooth connectivity, a high airbag count, alloy wheels, cruise control and height-adjustable front seats.
SE trim adds bigger alloys, classier upholstery, parking sensors and some extra decorative elements, SE Plus adds electric seats, leather-based trim, still bigger wheels and sat-nav, while the top-of-the pile L&K provides a few more shiny non-essentials.
In any case, Skodas are all about value, and if it's space that you need – and this car provides far more rear-seat lounging room than you'll find in any MPV or off-roader, as well as a bigger boot – then the entry-level 1.4 TSI S is hard to top for the money. Especially as it's very well made.
The Superb is more about refined, practical capability than excitement, but it's hard not to feel a small tingle of pleasure at the value you get from this big, well-made, well-planned and comfortable car.

Rebollar, Esther China Scholarship Council Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (España) Film thickness Pulse accumulation Substrates properties Polystyrene Laser-induced periodic surface structures 7 pags., 6 figs., 3 tabs. Here we focus on the influence of both, substrate and film thickness on polymer Laser Induced Periodic Surface Structures (LIPSS) formation in polymer films. For this aim a morphological description of ripples structures generated on spin-coated polystyrene (PS) films by a linearly polarized laser beam with a wavelength of 266 nm is presented. The influence of different parameters on the quality and characteristics of the formed laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) was investigated. We found that well-ordered LIPSS are formed either on PS films thinner than 200 nm or thicker than 400 nm supported on silicon substrates as well as on thicker free standing films. However less-ordered ripples are formed on silicon supported films with intermediate thicknesses in the range of 200–380 nm. The effect of the thermal and optical properties of the substrate on the quality of LIPSS was analyzed. Differences observed in the fluence and number of pulses needed for the onset of surface morphological modifications is explained considering two main effects which are: (1) The temperature increase on polymer surface induced by the action of cumulative laser irradiation and (2) The differences in thermal conductivity between the polymer and the substrate which strongly affect the heat dissipation generated by irradiation.

Picnics are one of summer's simplest, yet greatest pleasures – Especially here in sunny Central Florida. Whether you pack up a meal and head to the beach or a park, or you set up a picnic in your own backyard, enjoy the carefree time spent with loved ones.
So you've decided you're going on a picnic. First things first, it's time to plan your menu. Choose casual food items that can be made beforehand. A good idea is to think of foods that you can eat without utensils such as a hearty sandwich or wrap, hummus with veggies or pita bread, and fresh fruit. Get the kids involved with picnic prep by asking them to pack the veggies and fruit or letting them pick what you will serve for dessert.
Pasta salads are another tasty menu option — just don't forget the utensils if you go this route. It's best to prepare pasta salads, or any type of salad for that matter, with a vinaigrette or other oil-based dressing instead of a mayonnaise or cream base to avoid food safety issues with the Florida heat.
Once you have your menu set, it's time to pack. Knowing how to pack your picnic basket can make a real difference. Make sure to place your food items in lightweight, plastic containers that are easily stackable. Start by packing re-freezable ice packs or frozen bottles of water at the bottom of the basket. Then start layering your containers with the food you will be eating first at the top for easy access (desserts at the bottom) as well as to ensure the items you will be eating later remain cool.
Lightweight, stackable dishes are easy to pack at the top of the picnic basket. Also, place utensils and napkins inside your cups before packing them into an empty corner of the basket to save space. Don't forget hand wipes or paper towels to wash off the mess that those finger foods may leave behind. You also want to leave your outdoors picnic area just as beautiful and clean as it was when you got there, so don't forget to bring cleanup gear. A simple trash bag to get rid of your garbage will work just fine.
And who could forget the blanket? It is, after all, an essential item to the art of picnicking. A lightweight blanket that is easy to fold and carry is ideal, but make sure it's big enough to fit all your picnic goers and your basket. A brightly colored blanket is an added bonus that not only adds some personal style and fun to your picnic, but it makes it easy for people to find you if you're in a crowded, popular picnic spot.
Next time you feel like eating outside, pack a picnic with the family and enjoy one of summer's greatest pleasures.

SINGAPORE--The world's largest electronic sports show kicked off in the island-state yesterday, gathering more than 700 gamers from 67 countries who will compete in the grand finals for prizes totaling US$435,000.
This year's World Cyber Games (WCG) has attracted competitors as young as three years old, with the oldest over 60 years old, and boasts a total prize money of over US$2.5 million, including amounts awarded during preliminary rounds.
With the global games market projected to be worth US$30 billion in 2007, it is no wonder WCG organizer Hank Jeong said it is only "a matter of time" before the Games achieves "Olympic level". Jeong is president and CEO of International Cyber Marketing, the official organizers of the WCG.
And the Singapore government definitely wants a piece of the action.
Said Quek Swee Kuan, director of infocomms and media cluster with Singapore's Economic Development Board (EDB): "Being a host to WCG sends a strong signal to games companies all over the world that Singapore is serious about games." He noted that the government has sealed several partnerships with games and digital media companies to drive this market in Singapore, including Japan's Koei and Lucasfilm Animation in the United States.
"Singapore is at the crossroads of the East and West," Quek said, adding that the country has the abilities and knowledge to develop games that appeal to an international audience. Hosting the WCG further puts Singapore on the map as the "Asian venue for exciting virtual world of games and great sportsmanship", he said.
The EDB will continue to "bring in" more of such major global IT trade shows and exhibitions, such as the E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) in the United States and Tokyo's GDC (Game Developers Conference), and host them in Singapore, he said.
The WCG committee is also exploring the possibility of introducing mobile games in the competition, and no decision has been made yet, according to Jeong. Every new platform must be tested for at least one to two years before it can be recognized as an official component of the game, he explained. There is, however, a Mobile Tournament at the games which will run as a standalone league.
This year's competition features nine official games including PC-based Counter Strike and FIFA Soccer 2005, and Halo 2 and Dead or Alive Ultimate, which run on the Microsoft Xbox console platform.

KamagurkaArt Center Horus
Over deze artiest
Kamagurka was born Luc Zeebroek in 1956 in the coastal town of Nieuwpoort, and lives in Bruges these days. As an artist, he is as versatile and multidisciplinary as he is in life. Everything can serve as an inspiration for his paintings and sculptures: from art movements and classical paintings to pop culture icons or even skylight windows, a fried egg or his own previous work.
An idea for a painting often grows towards a whole series of works, in which Kamagurka explores all possibilities and boundaries of this original idea. At the same time, each of his works is very recognisable through its typical, slightly absurd Kamagurka touch. With a lot of color and humour, this artists succeeds everytime to take his audience with him to get lost in his amazing world.

August 21, 1933 - July 23, 2018
Doris Wilma Dunn Smith was born on August 21, 1933 in Greensboro, North Carolina and went to be with the Lord on July 23, 2018 at the age of 84.
Doris and her twin brother David (predeceased) were adopted at the age of two months old by Mr. and Mrs. David Harry Dunn of Charlotte, North Carolina. Doris grew up under the Christian guidance of her adoptive parents in Charlotte. After graduating from Berryhill High School in 1951, Doris attended Flora MacDonald College, in Red Springs, North Carolina, graduating in 1955 with a Bachelor's Degree in Biological Science. Doris began her teaching career at St. Pauls High School in St. Pauls, North Carolina where she taught Science. In 1956, she was awarded a DuPont Fellowship to begin her studies for a Master's Degree at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (UNC). Her pursuit for a Master's Degree was temporarily delayed by her marriage to Ralph Smith (predeceased) in 1957. In rapid succession they had three children, Glenn, Harriet and Marc.
With Ralph's employment closing down in Charlotte, Ralph was offered a position in Long Beach, California which he and Doris decided to take. They moved their family to Anaheim, California in 1965.
Doris continued her teaching career in the Anaheim Union High School District teaching Mathematics at the junior high school level. While teaching junior high students, Doris attended the University of California at Irvine, graduating in 1973 with two Master's Degrees, in Mathematics and Biological Science. She furthered her education in 1980 when she graduated from the University of Beverly Hills with a Doctoral Degree in Education. Doris retired from teaching in 1995 after teaching for over 30 years.
Doris was passionate about many things, namely poetry, writing, singing, UNC Basketball, and serving the Lord. She was active and involved in the life of the churches she attended. Throughout her life, Doris served as a deaconess, choir member, and church secretary just to name a few. While attending Redeemer Presbyterian Church, Doris served in many different capacities. Doris even wrote her own lyrics to the tune of "Eternal Father Strong to Save" which is framed and hangs in the Narthex of Redeemer Presbyterian Church. While at Redeemer, Doris built many strong friendships which helped her especially during the last several years of her life. For this, our family is eternally grateful!
Doris will be remembered for her friendships, sense of humor, her God-given talents, and her love for the Lord.
Doris is survived by her three children, Glenn, Harriet (Steven), and Marc (Emma). She is also survived by her six grandchildren Zachary Smith, Elizabeth Smith, Krista Kruckeberg (Aaron), Cari Gomez (Brian), Nathan Smith, and Alicia Smith. She is also survived by her three great grandchildren, Adelah Maree, and Macey and Zoey Kruckeberg.

When Doris' phone gave me the message "not in service" I was concerned. I am sorry to hear of her home going--the family will miss her. Doris (David, too) and I went to school together. I also went to Flora Macdonald just for the secretarial program. She lived a very active and fulfilling life. I will miss her calls and Christmas cards (poems). Again, my sympathy to the family.

Our History
For 140 years, Franciscan Alliance has stayed true to our founding mission to care for everyone who comes through our doors. We treat our patients with the best possible care by following the guiding ethical values embodied by our founding congregation, the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration.
Speaking little to no English, six Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration from Germany arrived in Lafayette late on December 14, 1875. They received help in seeking shelter, and then went to work with the support of community members to open a hospital three weeks later. Their mission was to provide compassionate care, hope and comfort to those in need.
The Sisters expanded the health system with more hospitals, schools, orphanages and homes for the elderly. And nearly a century after the first hospital opened its doors, the system was officially founded as the Sisters of St. Francis Health Services in 1974.
In 2012, our health system was selected to participate in a Pioneer Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) initiative by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The ACO model is designed to provide more coordinated care for Medicare beneficiaries, ultimately resulting in cost savings for patients.
Fast-forward to today and you will see that today we serve 13 communities in Indiana and Illinois through our hospital locations. We serve almost 50 communities through our more than 260 Franciscan Physician Network offices. Our system recognized the evolving changes in the health care landscape and the need to reinforce the shared capabilities across our hospitals and other healthcare facilities. We adopted a new name – Franciscan Health – to strengthen our presence as a large, comprehensive healthcare system.

Art therapy, facilitated by the art therapist, is a form of expressive therapy that uses the creative process of making art to explore and improve a person's feelings, emotional conflicts, and behaviours. The creative process and the resulting artwork helps people resolve stress and anxiety, develop new social skills, and improve self-esteem and awareness. (Sokanu)
