At The Motley Fool, we poke plenty of fun at Wall Street analysts and their endless cycle of upgrades, downgrades, and "initiating coverage at neutral." So you might think we'd be the last people to give virtual ink to such "news." And we would be -- if that were all we were doing.
But in "This Just In," we don't simply tell you what the analysts said. We'll also show you whether they know what they're talking about. To help, we've enlisted Motley Fool CAPS, our tool for rating stocks and analysts alike. With CAPS, we track the long-term performance of Wall Street's best and brightest -- and its worst and sorriest, too.
And speaking of the best...
Is it finally time to buy Teva Pharmaceuticals
Yesterday was a very busy day for drug stocks. While everyone was tossing around Teva ratings, Stifel Nicolaus came out with new buy ratings for Amgen
Let's go to the tape
... Oppenheimer has proven itself a mighty fine stock picker in its own right. The analyst ranks in the top quintile of investors we track here at CAPS. Its record in the Pharmaceuticals space is particularly good. With 53% accuracy on its picks, the average Oppenheimer Pharma rec beats the market by better than 8 percentage points. Here are a few of Oppy's more recent recommendations:
Oppenheimer Says:
CAPS says:
Oppenheimer's Picks Beating (Lagging) S&P By:
Not rated
62 points
WuXi PharmaTech
53 points
Questcor Pharma
14 points
Why does Oppenheimer like Teva today? Profits. Praising the strength of Teva's launch for the generic of Effexor XR antidepressant drug, Oppenheimer predicts we'll see a sharp uptick in earnings in the second half of 2010.
Interestingly, this plays right into the major thesis Jim outlined for us yesterday. Calling Teva "the No. 1 generic-drug company in the world at a time when many big-selling branded drugs are beginning to come off patent," Jim expects to see Teva capitalize on the same trend that's stealing profits from its larger rivals. As drugs owned by Eli Lilly
Profit from Pfizer's misery
While I feel the pain of Pfizer shareholders, I cannot ignore the value in Teva shares. Selling for less than 16 times free cash flow, paying a 1.3% dividend and projected to grow earnings at better than 14% per year over the next five years, Teva looks to me today like a fairly priced stock, with little downside risk and a whole pile of upside.
Most analysts today expect to see this company grow its earnings more than 35% this year. It won't take many more "Effexors" to make their effects clear on the long-term growth rate. If Oppenheimer's right about the strength of sales of this single drug, and if Jim's proven right about Teva's ability to steal even more sales from Big Pharma as its drug patents lapse, we could see Teva's growth rate exceed even Wall Street's forecasts -- pushing the stock into definite value territory.
If you agree with Jim's and Oppenheimer's outlooks, consider buying Teva before the good news becomes common knowledge.
True to its name, The Motley Fool is made up of a motley assortment of writers and analysts, each with a unique perspective; sometimes we agree, sometimes we disagree, but we all believe in the power of learning from each other through our Foolish community.
Pfizer is a Motley Fool Inside Value selection, but Rich Smith does not own shares of any company named above. You can find him on CAPS, publicly pontificating under the handle TMFDitty, where he's currently ranked No. 613 out of more than 165,000 members. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

Be appreciative of all that life has to offer. Love the moments that bring you down as much as the ones that lift you up. Never take anyone for granted, you never know when someone will walk out of your life. Be brilliant and don't apologize for the way you are. If you have qualities about yourself you'd like to change, work diligently to be a better you and be gentle with yourself when you face shortcomings. Look in the mirror and remind yourself that you were uniquely created to be great and never settle for anything less than greatness. Always love yourself for everything that you are and never covet someone else's life. Your journey is your own and remember that no one else can walk in your shoes. Set yourself apart from the rest and enjoy the rush of standing out. You were not built to blend in.

Sooner or later, most playwrights turn to their family backgrounds for inspiration. Few, though, have as provocative a personal history as Ellen Geer.
The veteran actress-director-playwright, who is the daughter of the late actor Will Geer and actress Herta Ware, grew up watching her parents' left-wing activism. She was a young girl when her father was blacklisted as a result of investigations by the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC), which targeted Hollywood during its campaign to root out communists in the years following World War II.
Now Geer, 53, has turned her memories of the McCarthy Era into a play called ". . . and the Dark Cloud Came," which opens tonight at the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum in Topanga, where she is artistic director. And the production, too, is a family affair.
Geer's half sister, Melora Marshall, plays their mutual mother, Ware. Marshall's father, David Marshall (played by Michael O'Neill), also plays a character in the play. Ware, in turn, plays her own grandmother, the 1930s union activist Ella Reeve Bloor. Ian Flanders, who is Geer's son, is in the cast. And there are even more family members in the company.

Washington Park Loop Hike
From Oregon Hikers Field Guide
- Start point: Sacajawea Statue Trailhead
- End point: Hoyt Arboretum Trailhead
- Trail Log:
- Hike Type: Loop
- Distance: 3.9 miles
- Elevation gain: 585 feet
- High Point: 850 feet
- Difficulty: Easy
- Seasons: All
- Family Friendly: Yes
- Backpackable: No
- Crowded: Yes
Hike Description
Washington Park is Portland's centerpiece of monuments, parklands, gardens, old reservoirs, and even a stretch of natural forest. This loop hike will begin at the monuments, take you through the landscape of the old zoo, then up to the Wildwood Trail, part of the Hoyt Arboretum (see the Hoyt Arboretum Loop Hike, the Portland Japanese Garden and, finally, Portland's world-renowned International Rose Test Garden. Although only four miles, the walk invites many stops and explorations, so you could spend an entire day investigating the various sights! As noted in Wild in the City, the first acreage for the park was purchased in 1871, at a time when Portland had a mere 8,000 residents. Since then, the park has expanded considerably and become the inner city's haven for both natural and manicured beauty.
Note: From September 2016 to March 2018, the City of Portland will be constructing an underground reservoir at Reservoir #3. Parking will not be permitted at the Sacajawea Statue Trailhead but the trails will remain open. To access this loop, park at the International Rose Test Garden instead, and join the Mac Trail from there - it is just east (below) the Rose Garden; you can walk north to see the monuments described in the next paragraph. The reservoir project will be the second most expensive public works project in Portland's history after the Big Pipe. Final touches will not be completed until 2024. A reflecting pool will sit on top of buried Reservoir #3, while Reservoir #4 will be decommissioned and replaced by a reflecting pool.
First, head up the grassy knoll past the Sacajawea Statue to the Lewis & Clark Column, under tall Douglas-firs, for a view down to the city. President Theodore Roosevelt dedicated the column in a drenching Oregon downpour in May 1903. Heading back, pass the Chiming Fountain and cross the street. Historic Reservoir #3, constructed in 1894, is below. If the gate is open, you can go down the stairs (No dogs allowed) to walk next to the reservoir (Note that the two reservoirs in Washington Park will soon be demolished and replaced by reflecting pools). Head back up to Park Place and cross back over the street to view the Oregon Holocaust Memorial, passing attractive brick restrooms, once also a concession stand, which were constructed in 1926. Then cross back to the MAC Trail.
The MAC (Multnomah Athletic Club) Trail, here a wide, paved maintenance track, turns off the sidewalk above Reservoir #3 and the Sherwood Boulevard junction, and before the road junction with Wright Avenue and Rose Garden Way. Walk up the paved trail for about 1/10th of a mile before noting on the right and left sides two low posts denoting the MAC Trail heading down to the left. Here, it is a dirt path that wends above Sherwood Boulevard and below the Rose Garden's maintenance road. The trail curves around the slope of the hill under Douglas-firs and passes through a concrete barrier, a remnant of an old zoo cage. The MAC Trail continues below a large Douglas-fir, reaches a grassy hillside and then a play area. Curve around the old Elephant House and admire its mosaics. The "house" was built in 1954 to accommodate Rosy, the zoo's first elephant. The space is now a covered picnic area. Cross a paved road above a soccer field and head up into native forest with big-leaf maple, Douglas-fir, vine maple, ivy, thimbleberry, and sword fern. The path rises past a water tank, keeping right at a junction; then, cross the Zoo Train tracks. Take the main trail right below a parking pullout and hike above the Big Meadow to cross Kingston Drive. The MAC Trail switchbacks five times up to the graveled Mac Trailhead, one of those rare spots in the area which doesn't require a parking fee. Here, go right about 25 yards to a junction with the Wildwood Trail.
Take a left here, wind up a ridge in native forest, and then drop to a large field (the Archery Range) and the Archery Range Trailhead. The Wildwood Trail rises up into woods again after the field, and then switchbacks under a vine maple bower (Note that a new trail is being constructed in 2017 that will connect directly from the parking area to the ridge and cut off this switchback.). Switchback up to the ridge crest and come to the junction with the Walnut Trail. Here, go left and head across a field and through a narrow section of forest to the junction with the Maple Trail. Go left on the Maple Trail and traverse an open grassy area. Soon, reach plantings of exotic maples, and keep on the Maple Trail until the junction with the Overlook Trail, where you go right, switchbacking uphill to a water tank. From here, switchback down to the left, also on the Overlook Trail. Follow this trail all the way to the Hoyt Arboretum Trailhead.
On the north side of the Visitor Center, head down the Oak Trail. At a four-way junction, drop downhill on the Beech Trail to cross Upper Cascade Drive. If you are here in the fall, admire the bright colors of the beeches. At a junction, keep right where a sign says To Magnolia Trail. Keep right again where the Taylor Trail peels off down to the left. Reach the junction with the Wildwood Trail and go right below homes. The trail switchbacks down past the junction with the Beech Trail and crosses Lower Cascade Drive. Pass Himalayan birches and then the Winter Garden to reach another trail junction. Leave the Wildwood Trail here, going right toward the Portland Japanese Garden. The trail reenters the Washington Park Natural Area. Pass under Douglas-firs, red-cedars, and western hemlocks. Sword fern, spiny wood fern, and ivy form the carpet. At a junction, go left for the Japanese Garden and switchback at a viewpoint over the Garden's koi ponds through the trees. With the new (2017) expansion of the Portland Japanese Garden, you can no longer enter it from the Wildwood Trail, so go left at the next junction and head down to Fairview Boulevard. Go right on Fairview and walk all the way down to Kingston Avenue. Go right on Kingston for the tennis courts, Rose Garden, and Japanese Garden.
Walk between the tennis courts (The first one was built in 1914), and cross Rose Garden Way to descend wide steps into the International Rose Test Garden. The steps were built in 1941 as part of a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project. Roses bloom in the garden in profusion from May to November. Explore various parts of the Rose Garden: the Shakespeare Garden, the Gold Medal Rose Garden, and the Rose Festival Queen Walk. From the Queen Walk, go north and pass through a hedge of arbor vitae to reach the paved maintenance road. Turn left here and head down to Park Place and the car.

It's an ultimate destination to enjoy, shop, eat and repeat. There's so much to love about LA that one trip is just not enough." - Malaika Arora
Check Into the Dream Hollywood Hotel

Beyond the huge lobby, a landscaped "public alley" links up eateries and nightlife spots— Luchini Pizzeria, TAO Los Angeles, Beauty & Essex, Avenue nightclub, and Highlight Room. The world's best block party was at her doorstep: Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, Tobey Maguire, Zoe Saldana, Katie Holmes, and Owen Wilson came to the opening of the Dream complex.

Morality is a very interesting subject, in fact, most important than all others. We fear that the peace of society is at stake when morality is in question. And this fear is enlarged when the concerned subject is distant or it would be better to say indifferent to us. But isn't morality simply a set of socially constructed rules that we use to help us get what we want? If we are not getting what we want, we change the rules. David Hume says that this is just as it should be. He also says the reason is, and ought only to be the slave of passion. Passions arise as they do, we feel what we feel, want what we want, and do what we can to get it. Let's examine Aligarh, the film.
But Prof. Siras must not have contemplated this much. He was a very ordinary simple man who liked Lata Mangeshkar's songs while having two or three drinks before going to sleep. He was a very emotional man, a poet too and very friendly and soft spoken. He dressed well and was a pretty handsome man. And I must add here he was a homosexual. Aligarh is the first film in which a homosexual character is presented as a real man, not a caricature, not something bizarre and laughable or loathsome. Kudos to that. Prof. Siras' characterization is so real that at first instance it creates doubts because we in India are habituated to see homosexuals as some aliens from another planet. The Director, Hansal Mehta's involvement and understanding of the subject is so deep that he has done a superb job. I salute him because you know with a highly controversial subject he has made such a beautiful film that has nothing to do with any controversy. It's about love, trust me just love. The film itself has never raised any questions but has provided the audience a handful of them for introspections.
The man Prof. Siras is never apologetic or even shows any concern that he is doing something immoral considered by the society at large. Manoj Bajpayee, I have to search for words to praise him. His performance would be ranked among the best in Hindi Cinema till date. He is not acting here; he is living the life of Prof. Siras. I cannot imagine even Tom Hanks playing that character or I should say understanding that character as well as Manoj has done. Awards or no awards this one is truly world class.
Rajkumar Rao is naturally natural. Effortlessly flows with his character.
These are real people on screen. The makers, it may seem to some people, have projected it as a fight for the LGBT rights and 377, may be due to marketing reasons, but this is a film that you must watch with your family and trust me it will never make you uncomfortable anywhere. This is such a beautiful film about love and relations and Prof Siras that I can proudly say I have fallen in love with the man.

My heart is full of gratitude because someone believes in me…
…and in this pipe dream I have.
Sometimes we go through life chasing shadows and pipe dreams… sometimes we share those dreams with others and other times we chase them alone.
When a dream is a group effort we spur one another on… encouraging and exhorting, praying and praising… a community dream becomes a community effort, and no one person takes all the credit or all the blame.
Then, there are the times we go it alone… and the road gets lonely… there's no traffic in sight. Those are the times it's easiest to give up on the dream… we convince ourselves its time to grow up, give up the dream and return to reality.
What happens though when someone else believes in the dream? I wonder… how many pipe dreams could have become the new reality if someone else would have met the dreamer where they were and walked a bit of the journey with them? Would they have encouraged them enough to stay in the chase? To not give up? To not give in?
This journey of authorship didn't begin when my fingers typed words on the computer screen, nor did it end when I clicked "publish." Instead, it's an ongoing journey… one that I feel as if I'm forging as I go… so often in over my head and gurgling as the waves wash over me. I know it's a God-sized dream and I desperately lack the God-size faith to see it through.
…then He moves.
He brings along someone who says "because I believe in you, I want to invest in you" handing me money to move forward with printed copies of The Secret of Counting Gifts. Print-on-demand copies available through major retailers… a real-live-hold-in-your-hands-and-turn-the-pages kind of book… with my name on it…
…because someone believed in me.

Red Table Meat Co. won big last night at the sixth-annual Good Food Awards in San Francisco.
The northeast Minneapolis-based maker of cured meats was recognized for its coppa, Big Chet's salami and the cooked smoked ham that it calls, suitably, the Royal.
It was the first time the company had entered in the competition, which represents "the forefront of American craft food, making products that are delicious, respectful of the environment and connected to communities and cultural traditions."
"I was surprised," said Red Table owner Mike Phillips. "We entered three, hoping one might win."
Phillips (pictured, above, in a Star Tribune file photo) and his crew shipped almost 400 pounds of product ahead of their arrival. "We'll have a lot of people to feed," he said, at both a gala party following the awards – which took place at the city's Herbst Pavilion in the Fort Mason Center for Arts and Culture, overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge – and at a weekend-long marketplace. The awards were hosted by Chez Panisse owner Alice Waters, International Slow Food Movement founder Carlo Petrini and Newman's Own Organics founder Nell Newman.
Red Table wasn't the only Minnesota winner. Spyhouse Coffee Roasting Co. in Minneapolis won for its Suke Quto Ethiopian coffee, and Far North Spirits in Hallock was recognized for its Gustaf Navy Strength Gin.
The Midwest was well-represented. Wisconsin won six awards: Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee for its Growing Power Organic Powerhouse Pale Ale, AeppelTreow Winery & Distillery in Burlington for its Barn Swallow cider, Ela Cider Co. in Rochester for its Stone Silo cider, JBC Coffee Roasters in Madison for its Finca La Mula Panama Geisha coffee, Kickapoo Coffee Roasters in Viroqua for its Organic Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Idido Cooperative coffee and Ruby Coffee Roasters in Nelsonville for its Ethiopia Guji Uraga coffee. And from Iowa, winners include La Quercia in Norwalk for its Speck Americano and Milton Creamery in Milton for its white Cheddar-style Prairie Breeze.
Find a full list of winners here.
A look at the numbers: In September, 203 judges tasted their way through 1,947 entries from 33 states, and 176 winners were ultimately selected in 13 categories: beer, charcuterie, cheese, chocolate, cider, coffee, confections, honey, oils, pantry, pickles, preserves and spirits.
Phillips learned of the win in November, and it was strictly a mum's-the-word situation. "That's the hard part," he said with a laugh. "You have to keep quiet. We were dying to tell people."

Just bought a new trailer? Planning to buy soon? We know that feeling! Getting a new (or used) trailer on the road for the first time is exciting. But that thrilling, new-trailer smell is no excuse to overlook the basics.
5 Tips for New Trailer Owners
- IT'S NICE TO HAVE A SPARE! Tire, that is. On the day of your trailer purchase, you can get 20% off the cost of a spare and mount, and we will mount it on your trailer for free.
- In Ohio, trailers must have license plates. To get yours, take your Certificate of Origin to a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office to get your plates. (You do not need to go to the Title Bureau.)
- Know your trailer's load capacity and stay under the limit. Exceeding load capacity is one of the quickest ways to damage your trailer's axles.
- Always check to be sure your lights are working properly and that the battery to your breakaway cable is charged.
- Plan to repack your bearings in the next 12-14 months. Don't want to do it yourself? We can do it for you; call or stop in to schedule.
A trailer is an investment. We share these tips to help you get the most out of it. As with any vehicle, safe operation of your trailer is paramount. If you're new to hauling (or are adding a new driver to your business) you might want to review this list of safety tips from some of our vendors and other towing and trailer experts: 5 Must-Reads on Safe Towing
People who depend on their trailers depend on JTI. Since 1935, we've been Cleveland's Trailer & Hitch experts. So, yeah, we get really excited about new trailers! We also take pride in keeping trailers on the road, working safely as long as possible, to maximize their owners' investment. Need trailer repair, service work, parts, or something else? Call or stop by to see why our customers have stuck with us for 80 years. www.JTIinc.com 440.232.4311

Forget Best Picture, forget Best Director, forget the screenplay and acting categories. On Oscar night, my attention is going to be focused squarely on Best Makeup and Hairstyling.
That's the one where "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa" scored a nomination. Yes, "All Is Lost," that magnificent survival tale starring Robert Redford, and "Before Midnight," Richard Linklater's brilliant meditation on love and middle age, got the same number of nods as a movie with "Jackass" in the title. Well, as the founder of Sundance, Redford has a history of spotlighting unlikely winners, so no doubt he understands.
Not that "Bad Grandpa" is likely to win. "Dallas Buyers Club," which is up for Best Picture, seems a lock to take the makeup-hair category, unless voters opt for "Jackass" or "The Lone Ranger," one of the year's most dumped-on releases. Still, seeing those titles on the ballot together has a surreal aura — somewhat akin to a musical supergroup comprised of Bob Dylan, Pauly Shore and the bass player from the Wiggles.

Jon McLean, president of Engineered Treatment Systems (ETS), talks to Water Online Radio about the characteristics of ultraviolet (UV) disinfection, its effect on contaminants, and the comparison between open-channel and closed-channel UV technology.
The following is an excerpt from the Q&A. Click on the Radio Player above to hear the full interview.
Water Online Radio: Help the audience better understand exactly what UV technology does, but then go deeper into ETS – because you guys do not use open-channel UV products, when it seems a lot of the market still does. Explain that.
Jon: We do not. Okay. So starting at the beginning, UV is used to disinfect water or wastewater. It is used to blow apart the DNA of living organisms. It is unselective, so will kill anything in the fluid stream.
There is more and more tolerance to chlorine, so bugs are becoming more and more tolerant of chlorine and biocides and there are more and more processes that are intolerant of chlorine.
So we find business in plenty of areas where either chlorine cannot be used or the bugs do not respond to chlorine. Why no open channels? Well, I think if the industry was applying UV for the very first time today, it would not do it on an open channel.
Open channels were designed 30, 40 years ago, and the technology really has not moved ahead. Handling the fluid in the closed pipe is a much more efficient hydraulic method of handling fluid. So it is really a progress change. Why, as a new company, why would we adopt a technology that is 40 years old?
Water Online Radio: Jon, I am curious about you know the threats to using UV technology. You mentioned that it kills all the bugs and that may well include beneficial ones? Is that a threat or what other threats are there with the growth of just using UV in different applications?

Dear Kristin,
Let's talk briefly about how great Jason Wu makes me feel. He did the long blazers, filmy low-v blouses, candy colored shoes, faux flowers and really likable navies and creams and soft grays:
that I predicted for the next year. The Boyfriend thinks these looks are "cool." He told me so. Unprompted. Just because. I guess there's just something about Jason Wu. I liked the collection as a whole and felt validated in seeing much of the Want Much list in action; it's all just very wearable. On the other hand, I've only featured three looks here (as you can well see), because only three looks truly stood out to me and, if I'm being honest, maybe just two (the first and the last; the middle is just great spring wear). But they're pretty A+ as looks. Probably my favorites of the season so far.

MochaHost, locates in the center of Silicon Valley, is a web hosting company which has been providing ASP.NET hosting and eCommerce services since 2002. Although this company takes pride in offering affordable hosting service, it remains to be a start-up project.
On the other hand, WinHost, as an experienced web host, has expertise in ASP.NET hosting all the time. Due to its professional service, WinHost quickly finds its place among the sea of web hosting companies. And more, it wins many appreciations from people ranging from freelancers to big names all over the world.
When it comes to Windows hosting service, WinHost far surpasses MochaHost from many aspects, including pricing, Windows hosting features, performance and tech support. In below, we would like to explain why WinHost is the better choice than MochaHost.
|Loading Speed
|Technical Support
|Read Review
|MochaHost Review
|WinHost Review
Pricing Policy
MochaHost provides customers with three Windows hosting packages – Soho, Business and Mocha altogether. As is mentioned above, this company bounds for offering people a well-balanced price. Hence, this web host rates the plans at $4.95/mo, $7.95/mo and $11.95/mo regularly, but it gives a life-time 50% discount for readers who are purchasing its products now.
In this way, the initial prices are reduced to $2.48/mo, $3.98/mo and $7.17/mo. Note that this special offer only applies to three-year registration. And for 1/3-month hosting service, people have to pay the regular price. Also, there is an additional 5 bucks for site setup.
WinHost also provides people with three upgradable options – Basic, Max and Ultimate plans. With the purpose to meet various demands and abilities, it charges the plans in accordance with different features.
Take the entry level Basic Plan for example, it is rated at $4.95/mo regularly, but it only charges for $3.95/mo for readers going through this promotional link. For the advanced Max and Ultimate plans, the prices are $7.95/mo and $15.95/mo. Note that there is no extra setup fee, and a 30-day money back guarantee is provided to ensure safe trade environment.
Windows Hosting Features
Both MochaHost and WinHost support many basic hosting features. For example, the Business plan from MochaHost and the Max plan from WinHost both include unlimited data transfer, disk space, email accounts, auto-responders, mail forwarding, etc. Plus, they both provide customers with an easy-to-manage control panel, with which people are capable of managing their files, accounts and domains with ease.
However, when it comes to advanced Windows features, the two companies' differences come out. In below, there is a detailed feature-comparison table for the two companies. For the price, we select the Soho plan from MochaHost to compare with the Basic plan from Winhost. More details are presented as follows.
|Plan in Review
|Soho Plan
|Basic Plan
|Windows Server
|Silverlight Hosting
|IIS Remote Access
|Isolated Application Pool
|ASP.NET Ajax
|SQL Management Studio Access
|Access DSN
|Not Recommended
Hosting Reliability
To reassure customers who are worried about the network reliability, MochaHost guarantees them up to 100% uptime on its advertisement page. It claims to keep monitoring all servers and systems all day long and all year around. However, it is afraid that some regular customers don't think so.
Over the Internet, a MochaHost customer puts it that he has experienced downtime of at least 30 minutes several times a week. And other users point out that their servers are not stable at all and this company has been stalling hosting bugs for about two weeks on average.
According to our monitoring result, the average network uptime from MochaHost approximates to 99.89%, which is much less than that of its competitor. And the uptime from WinHost is close to 100%, which is quite encouraging and satisfying.
Hosting Performance
Apart from reliability, MochaHost is also criticized for its slowness. From our collected users' voices, we surprisingly find that there are more than half of people are dissatisfied with this company's speed. One of the MochaHost customers voices that that her sent-out emails couldn't be delivered to recipients for many times and it usually takes a long time to get a response.
In comparison, WinHost makes use of top-notch infrastructures and facilities to ensure fast server speed. And from our testing data, WinHost averages 317ms server response time, which is much less than that of MochaHost.
Technical Support
To be frank, most people attach great importance to technical support, especially beginners and newbies. Being aware of this fact, WinHost tries its best to satisfy customers by hiring a group of knowledgeable and passionate staffs, who are always on hand through phone call, live chat and email.
For MochaHost customers, things turn different. Some people who are not English-speakers say that they have more or less difficulty in communicating with the on-line staffs. Even some angry people cry out that the replied answers are so stupid that they feel like they are talking to a batch of elementary kids.
From our side-by-side comparison, WinHost is the better Windows hosting option than MochaHost by all means. And we highly recommend WinHost to people who are in search for a powerful and high-performance web host. For more details, please visit its official site www.winhost.com.

Anti-government activists, including the notorious White Helmets civil defense group, on Saturday blamed the Syrian authorities of using chemical weapons in the militant-held town of Douma in Eastern Ghouta, saying that dozens of civilians were killed and hundreds affected.
The claims have renewed calls for a Syria intervention by the West, while Damascus said they were a "fabrication" and Russia's Foreign Ministry on Sunday called them "fake news."
While a media storm immediately followed, accusing Syria's Bashar Assad of heinous crimes and predicting a new US strike against Damascus forces in response, journalists with knowledge of events on the ground in Syria wondered aloud if the claims should be treated with a grain of salt.
Independent journalist Vanessa Beeley, who visited the Syrian frontline on numerous occasions, said the chemical attack report, quickly picked up by mainstream media, was "also 100 percent lie," pointing out that the White Helmets group had been caught producing fakes before.
The timing of the alleged chemical attack claims was questioned by journalist Caitlin Johnstone, who pointed out that reports spread "just as Trump was seeking a withdrawal from Syria and just as [Syrian President Bashar] Assad was approaching victory in Douma."
Also 100% lie - the Syrian government's "use of chemical weapons against its own people" is very much in "dispute. #Syria#Not_A_Revolutionpic.twitter.com/STPnq9rDt0— vanessa beeley (@VanessaBeeley) 8 апреля 2018 г.
The chemical attack on his own people, certain to "provoke the wrath of the US war machine," would mean that "Assad spontaneously began acting against his own self-interest," the journalist wrote. She decried the influence of the mainstream media, which she said makes such news "easier to believe that Bashar al-Assad and Vladimir Putin are deliberately killing civilians with poisonous gas for no reason whatsoever than to believe that the same empire which deceived us into Iraq is deceiving us into Iraq's next-door neighbor Syria."
US journalist Rania Khalek said that the timing of the alleged attack was "crazy" because it has emerged when the Syrian government was in its strongest position during the whole conflict and Trump said he wanted US troops out of the country.
How incredibly convenient for all those people who lost there shit about trump calling for the US to pullout of Syria https://t.co/GKmXssLJ3a— Rania Khalek (@RaniaKhalek) 8 апреля 2018 г.
Other commentators online also argued that the reports of a chemical attack were actually aimed at dragging the US deeper into the Syrian conflict.
Makes "totally sense" that Assad launches a chemical attack days after Trump says he wants to leave Syria thus forcing Trump to be there longer... Right? The attack is obviously from interests who want the US to in Syria where it weakens Assad. How stupid can u be not to see it?— Yossi Gestetner (@YossiGestetner) 8 апреля 2018 г.
So just after Trump says it's time for US troops to leave Syria, and directly following the Syrian government fully liberating Eastern Ghouta, Assad decides to unleash chemical weapons that he doesn't even have?— Sarah Abdallah (@sahouraxo) 8 апреля 2018 г.
Yeah. Something just doesn't seem quite right with this picture 🤔
You're President of Syria, civil war starts, you nearly lose. But now you are about to win.— Justin Barrett (@JustinBarrettNP) 8 апреля 2018 г.
Only one thing can go wrong, international intervention happening only if you use chemical weapons. You use chemical weapons.
Needs more explanation to be believable, does it not? pic.twitter.com/Ob6tsYKmsa
Just like the Russian & Syrian UN reps have been warning for the past month, another #ChemicalAttack in #Syria occurs days after Trump says he wants to get out. How convenient for the #DeepState@RandPaul@RepThomasMassie@realDonaldTrump@DanScavino#falseflag#HandsOffSyriahttps://t.co/xtzir4bLPY— x x (@ste11a_b1ue) 8 апреля 2018 г.
At the same time, Cernovich believes that the escalation of the Syrian conflict and prolonged US stay in the country may even reconcile the Republicans and Democrats.
"War is good for the ruling party facing mid-term elections, which is one reason the war mongering Democrats might not support Trump's leading a ground war in Syria. But their blood lust is strong, and may overcome their desire to sweep the House," he wrote.
Following the chemical attack reports, US President Donald Trump, who said on Tuesday that he wanted to "get out" of Syria, called Assad an "Animal," adding that "President Putin, Russia and Iran" were responsible, as backers of the Syrian authorities.
Syrian state media, meanwhile, reported on Sunday that Jaysh al-Islam militants, who were holed up in Douma, have agreed a deal with the Syrian government, according to which they will be allowed to leave the town in exchange for releasing the prisoners they were holding.
On April 4, 2017, a major chemical attack was similarly reported in Syria, just several days after then US Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, and UN envoy, Nikki Haley, said that "getting Assad out" was no longer Washington's priority. Back then, the White Helmets and other activist groups claimed that up to 100 civilians in the town of Khan Shaykhun in the Idlib Governorate were killed by sarin gas, released in an airstrike by Syrian government forces. The US immediately rushed to blame Damascus for the attack and fired 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at the Shayrat Airbase, claiming it was the very compound from which jets, allegedly armed with the chemical, took off.
Syria, which was confirmed to have destroyed its sarin stockpiles under a deal brokered between Russia and the US in 2013, has denied the accusations. Russia also pointed out that thorough, impartial investigation of the incident never took place, with OPCW experts refusing to visit Khan Shaykhun. Moscow also argued that the whole attack could have been staged.

Lots of images because, well, Helen Frankenthaler is awesome. After yesterday's post on her effortlessly cool style, I had to follow up with some images of her gorgeous work. Now this was someone who knew how to move paint on a surface. And the colors - perfect. I'm dying over that mustard yellow in the second image.
I don't know what it is but I am all over abstraction lately. Maybe you've noticed? Lots of abstract work around these parts.
images here, here, here, and here.

This week Brain Basher is based on data/time. See below code and try to guess the output of it.
DECLARE @datetime datetime SET @datetime = '01/01/00' SELECT YEAR (@datetime) SET @datetime = '01/01/30' SELECT YEAR (@datetime) SET @datetime = '01/01/40' SELECT YEAR (@datetime) SET @datetime = '01/01/50' SELECT YEAR (@datetime)
What did you guess? Years of 2000, 2030, 2040, and 2050? If so, it is wrong. Here is the output;
As you see, the last one is not 2050, it is 1950. This is based on a setting called two digit year cutoff. The setting represents the cutoff year for interpreting two-digits year as four-digits year and default value for this is 2049. This sets the default time span as 1950-2049, hence value of 49 represents, 2049 and value of 50 represents 1950. Another example is, value of 99 represents 1999 and value of 01 represents 2001.
It is not advisable to change this but this setting can be changed using sp_configure.

In order to be admitted as an embassy-recommended Japanese Government MEXT Scholarship undergraduate student at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech), applicants must first pass the MEXT Scholarship Student Examination administered by the Japanese embassy in the applicant's home country. Interested applicants should contact the Japanese embassy or consulate in their home countries for information about examination qualifications, schedules, and recruitment.
Applicants selected as MEXT Scholarship Students usually enroll in a yearlong preparatory school at either the Osaka University Center for Japanese Language and Culture or at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies before entering the four-year Bachelor's Degree Program. The preparatory program provides intensive Japanese training courses, as well as other preparatory courses for university entrance such as Japanese culture and society, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry, and biology. Students who successfully complete this preparatory education will take entrance examinations administered by certain universities specified by MEXT, including Tokyo Tech. Upon passing the entrance examination for Tokyo Tech, a student will be admitted to the Institute.
Successful applicants will receive the following scholarship allowance.
120,000 yen/month
In accordance with MEXT regulations, each grantee will be provided with an economy class air ticket between the international airport closest to the student's place of residence in the student's country of nationality and Narita or Haneda International Airport.
Application, admission, and tuition will be waived.
Based on the Japan-Republic of Korea Joint Declaration issued in October 1998, this program aims to enable promising Korean students to acquire cutting-edge technological skills and knowledge by studying at science and technology universities in Japan. Additionally, the aim of the program is to deepen mutual understanding between Japan and Korea through international student exchange.
Applicants are selected from students recommended by their high schools in Korea through a 1st screening administered by the Korean government. These applicants then take an examination administered by the Japanese government, and successful applicants are then assigned to appropriate Japanese universities. Successful applicants undergo preparatory education in Japanese, specialized subjects (mathematics, physics, chemistry), and English for six months starting from March before their arrival in Japan in September. After this they undergo further preparatory education in Japanese and specialized subjects at the International Student Center at their assigned university. Students then take the entrance examinations administered by universities specified by the Japanese Government (MEXT), and are admitted to the university concerned if they pass the entrance examination.
The National Institute for International Education Development (NIIED) in Korea administers all procedures from recruitment to screening. Interested applicants should contact the NIIED for detail information.

Recent news seems like LG are really getting faster on updates and putting their reputation on line . Plus if the removable battery capacity is greater than 3500 mah . I am all sold .

Soy Rye Pizza
This is the baking I did with Gabriel on 10 May 2012. A healthy mini pizza with soy and rye flours.
6 comments:
I can feel your joy.ReplyDelete
So happy for you.
The pizza looks really good, with soy and rye, Gabriel will grow up strong and healthy.Replies
yes Wendy! this is what all parent hoping for... :)Delete
it's very heartening to read of gabriel's progress, and the fact that you find joy in the little things :DReplyDelete
wow soy and rye is a really good combi and the better thing is that gabriel is accepting of such flavours :) what proportions did you use for the soy and rye btw?Replies
aiyoh Janine, we have gone through lot of tough time whenever trying to wash his hair or cut his hair :)Delete
ok, the pizza dough actually comprised of 3 flours, bread flour, rye and soy flour. bread flour: 200g, rye flour: 90g and soy flour: 90g. You are right because Gabriel actually doesn't like the pizza dough :) It is a bit hard compared to the normal pizza which used 100% bread flour or plain flour. I shouldn't use high porpotion of rye flour if baking for him. That's why this post is without recipe....hahaha
yeah, i heard a lot of kids cry when they have their hair cut..somehow i think they are just afraid seeing the scissors cutting the hair off! now a bad trick telling stories to them , huh?ReplyDelete
Your pizza sounds incredible, Tze! I've been wanting to try the use of soy flour as well on my baking but yet still too many things in mind needed to be settle up first before further experiment. haha....ReplyDelete

well, this place must be on our regular errand route because we keep finding ourselves hungry and within a block of it. This time it was a late afternoon game day so the place was nearly empty and the arrival of dishes was more all-at-once. Naan was once again fresh and buttery and great. We got Sada Karayla (bittermelon with onions and garlic), chicken Tikka masala (tandoori chicken in sauce), and Baigan Bharta (roasted mashed eggplant).
The chicken was a real disappointment. Meat was fine but the sauce was mild and bland and almost sweet.
The eggplant was smooth, smoky, spicy and sublime. Sorry about the alliteration. But it's all true.
The bittermelon was, well, bitter, and tasty, and spicy. Very distinct flavors, mingling and fascinating. There were big, interesting-looking seeds scattered about, which I presume were from the melon, which means that the melon used in this preparation is much older and larger than the tiny young melons I've seen and cooked with. I am guessing the melon is first baked or boiled and then prepared into a curry.
This is one of those places where I'm gonna have to go through the menu dish by dish. No complaints.

Although the title of this blog is somewhat misleading (partially due to the high-rated marketing value placed on the word Shoes when relating to women), I hope that you will continue to read my blog and realize the true fit of the "shoe".
I find myself at the end of most days thinking back to the beginning of that particular day and thinking....did that really ALL happen today? It's amazing sometimes the amount that one person can accomplish in one day or simply the displacement one body can make in 24 hours.
My day was originally supposed to begin at 4:30 a.m. I am an Orientation Leader at my university and we are meant to be there promptly at 7:00 a.m. You might ask " well then why in the world would you be getting up at 4:30?" And then of course I would be obliged to answer: As I have mentioned in my earlier two blogs, I am doing research this summer. Although normally I arrive to work on my research project at 9:00 am, because there was an orientation today, my research colleague (who is also an orientation leader) and myself had to arrive at 5:30 a.m to get everything done for the research that day before having to be at the orientation session at 7:00 am.
O.k. So...I woke up at 5:53. This time was much later than my original 4:30 a.m wake up call, and considering I was already 23 minutes late to meet my colleague, I became somewhat of a basket case. I called my colleague and said that I would be on my way soon. I hopped in the shower for a quick scrub-a-dub, dried my hair, and was out the door by 6:05 a.m...impressive if I do say so myself. As I was on my way to the University however, my colleague called me and said "All of the milkweed is dead". I'll explain. Milkweed plant is what we use to feed the caterpillars that I am raising to butterflies to do my research. Caterpillars eat a lot (more than probably a teenage boy), and without a constant supply of milkweed the caterpillars will die. On any other day this would not have been a problem, but considering I had 55 minutes to go get milkweed (which includes a 1/4 mile walk through a cow pasture), arrive back at the university, feed the caterpillars and check in by 7:00 am, I was quite nervous.
When I got to the field, I was running through the grass. Since it was 6:00 am, the grass still had a lot of dew and my pants were soaked from mid thigh down (luckily I decided to not wear the pants I needed for orientation). I had never gone to get milkweed by myself and much less at 6:00 am in the morning, so worse case scenarios were flying through my head. I kept thinking about the 5 foot wide creek I had to cross to get to the milkweed. I was praying that there were no snakes and trying to remember if I ever remembered my zoology teacher saying that they were more active in the morning time.
When I arrived back at my car, I looked down at myself. First, admiring my soaked pants and then next my shoes. Shoes I was planning on wearing during orientation that day were completely soaked and had grass all over them. What was I going to do? It was not 6:35, and I definately wasn't going to have time to go back to my house to get new shoes. I called my mom, and by this time the water works had begun. I cried to her saying "It was the worst morning ever". She said that she wouldnt be in town for another two hours. Once, I had calmed down I decided to call my roommate. Since it was 6:40 in the morning I knew that she would be asleep and felt awful waking her up at this time. I asked her to bring me my shoes, and after a little while of drowsy conversation she said she would.
I will save much of the detail of the next 30 minutes since it consists mostly of me driving too fast, thanking my roomate profusely, feeding caterpillars and then finally appologizing to the orientation leader director for being 11 minutes late.
The rest of my day has gone pretty much as planned. Orientation went off without a hitch, I recruited at the Greek orientation mixer following orientation, I went and ate dinner with my roomie, and now I am blogging to you fine people.
I began writing this blog with no title, and concurrently added one after writing the story of my day. As I was writing, I kept thinking to myself there are so many lessons to be learned from my day that I couldn't even define one in particular.
Because shoes were the defining apex in my problematic morning, I decided that the best lesson could be learned from my very own closet.
We wake up every morning, and the shoes we decide to wear very much defines our day. When wearing flip flops, we might assume that it's summer and perhaps we will be visiting a pool or beach later. When we wear tennis shoes, we might be going to work out or planning along day of shopping. There are so many pairs of shoes that define our life as women.
We might put on a pair of shoes in the morning thinking it looked great with our outfit, and then midday we have a blister the size of Arkansas. Lessons hurt sometimes, and sometimes you have to continually wear it out before it ever gets worn in.
We may put on a pair of shoes in the morning and after running through miles of wet grass, realize that perhaps more than one pair of shoes will be needed for that day. My life is full of concurrent lessons, and no one ever said growing up would be easy or simple.
Lessons can be old or new, dirty, stinky, clean, muddy, borrowed, worn-out, favs, tall or flat, pointy, classic or modern. They can come is all shapes, styles and colors.
One thing I know for sure though is that lessons, unlike shoes, will never be too big or too small.
God works in our lives in mysterious ways. We may come across lessons in our life that we think nothing about, but later on they are grandiose and we realize their true power. Other lessons we have learned, we may think that we will never be strong enough or big enough to handle, but God is always their leading us through it all, and he will never give us a burden to great for us to handle.
So lace up your converse or strap up your stilletos, because its time to take on the world. We are women chosen to make a difference in this world, and their is no "heal" that we can't handle.
And one more thing to note, us arkansan girls never go barefoot.
