Favorite movies are easy. But which wastes of celluloid stole your 8 bucks and precious minutes of your life? This isn't just for moderate disliking of a movie, but really gut-level "what the hell were they thinking?" kinds of loathing. Yes you can include those situations where you only saw part of the thing because you just had to walk out before all sense of good taste left your body.
I'll start it out with "Batman and Robin". And yes, I did manage to keep myself in my seat, thus revealing levels of internal fortitude heretofore unknown to myself.

whats gmf
Why is the scroll wheel for images at the bottom of the image rather than the browser? Is it to prevent page stretch? It's pretty good, I guess, except for when you have to scroll down to the bottom of the post and the use the scroll.
I supposed I could use my mousewheel, but I find it a hassle for scrolling horizontally
check the workshiop for a nice discusssion of whats going on
What the fuck happened with the gold compromises?
Maybe read the thread.
ever think of that??
So now threads are locking automatically at the end of the month, as opposed to Garry doing it manual like last time?
is there any way to delete comments you posted on another users profile?
Go to the user's profile, click "Edit" on your message, click "Go advanced", and there is a dialog for deletion.
Is there any talk on a book/comic book section? A lot of other obvious hobbies have sections, but not literature.
Whoops, yeah what || meant.
Gosh no need to be like that :(.
But yeah the last few pages of the old thread was talking about that.
can golds delete their posts?
What's the oify password
Password to OIFY?
I feel like my soul was sodomised in every available orifice, and two new ones.
Also, keep on getting the cloudflare captcha page, while trying to edit OPs, anyone else getting it?
Whatever happened to the articles, and respected users?

Nice Neil there Dave.
Folks Dave has a couple calls but a lot of them are just plain white looking ones.

text: Go with breathables and wading boots. They will cost you a little more than rubber hip waders but they will perform better in every scenario. Fishing, hunting, and training. Every pair of breathable waders I've ever had has shoulder strap clips that are oppossed so on a warm day in shallower water you can roll the chest portion down and use the shoulder straps to belt them at your waistline therefore your chest waders become wading pants. I'm a huge fan of Simms products. They cost a little more than some but like a lot of outdoor products if you spend just a little extra you get much better performance and durability.

Betty Crocker's Heart Healthy Cookbook shares a recipe! Stress free dinner ready in 15 minutes! This spiced-sweet tuna salad is the perfect combination of Asian and Indian cuisine.
"Great low-calorie lunch with a lot of veggies, and the pineapple and toasted pecans make it taste great! I use the tuna in pouches, whole wheat bread with 5 grams of fiber per slice, and add a bowl of berries or peaches." Lori S.
Be sure to choose tuna that is packed in water, not oil. By choosing water-packed tuna, you can save 70 calories and 6 grams of fat per 3-ounce serving. By combining tuna—already containing Omega-3 fatty acids—with pecans, you get a little more bang for your buck, on the nutrition front.

Still wondering myself if that statement is accurate.......................
It was a total meltdown before my eyes, I left soon afterwards.............
There is very little difference in dogs, but that little difference makes a big difference. The difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.
That's bigger than some Q's!
Dog and handler still has to do the job. I didn't even bother to answer ...#'s are on Entry Express for all to see so.... "Haley" has proven herself at her young age...just coming out of Derby with such success....
Beats me as to why someone would put down another's success
..we are sitting at home today, instead of training in MA with Colonial...due to tick born disease finding yesterday and opting to go back for futher bloodwork today. So we know exactly what is going on with our "Ranger".... I wish he was going to train today....run a Q, AM or anything else...12 dog entry or 100 dog entry..who cares...as he loves to do. Matters not the number of entries to me...seems petty compared to real issues in life.
I love running small trials! No slams here, just envy. If you want to to increase your odds of running a small trial, then follow the fisherman
Oh, And, Dude! If that avatar is a pic of you, you need to seriously think about a haircut, and/or a HAT!

Out of tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano? Use a can of diced tomatoes and add 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves.
New potatoes are thin-skinned, small, young potatoes of any variety. They are waxy in texture because there hasn't been enough time for the sugar to convert to starch. Leaving the peel on the potatoes not only retains nutrients but also helps them to keep their shape during cooking.

As in a frozen margarita, salt works wonders against tangy fruit flavors in this pie, with tropical fruit filling and a surprising pretzel crust.
Try using lemon sorbet instead of the mango.
To make cutting the pie easier, wait to place the fruit skewers in the dessert until after slicing it.

This is a study of how intellectuals as a class affect modern societies by shaping the climate of opinion in which official policies develop, on issues ranging from economics to law to war and peace.
The thesis of Intellectuals and Society is that the influence of intellectuals is not only greater than in previous eras but also takes a very different form from that envisioned by those like Machiavelli and others who have wanted to directly influence rulers. It has not been by shaping the opinions or directing the actions of the holders of power that modern intellectuals have most influenced the course of events, but by shaping public opinion in ways that affect the actions of power holders in democratic societies, whether or not those power holders accept the general vision or the particular policies favored by intellectuals. Even government leaders with disdain or contempt for intellectuals have had to bend to the climate of opinion shaped by those intellectuals.
Intellectuals and Society not only examines the track record of intellectuals in the things they have advocated but also analyzes the incentives and constraints under which their views and visions have emerged. One of the most surprising aspects of this study is how often intellectuals have been proved not only wrong, but grossly and disastrously wrong in their prescriptions for the ills of society-- and how little their views have changed in response to empirical evidence of the disasters entailed by those views.

Private intellectual, writer, and retired academic. Currently R&D director for Gravitational Systems Engineering, Inc.
"An efficient attack on liberal philosophy."
This author is intelligent and mission oriented. He has taken the liberal line and found many cogent attacks on its margins and fissures. His tone is condsending, and he can be quite harsh. However, if you are a liberal I recommend this book to understand the conservative line. If you are a conservative this book will fit very well into your worldview.
He makes so good point about how the liberal model, that we can do better, is often at variance with actual experience. Yet, a good innoculation to his retoric would be the books; The working poor, and The new Jim Crow. These books counter all of the arguments that are passionately offered in this work.
However, all in all, I found this book to be informative and interesting.
I love espionage, legal, and detective thrillers but listen to most genres. Very frequent reviews. No plot spoilers! Please excuse my typos!
"Dr. Thomas Sowell is a national treasure"
I continue to write reviews of the very best of the many hundreds books in my Audible library that I listened to before I started routinely writing reviews. Intellectuals and Society is fits in that category.
Sowell is a PhD economist who also is black. His economics books are best read and studied in printed format, but his books, columns, and essays on history, culture, and and current events are a great fit for the audiobook format. Dr. Sowell is now in his 80's but he remains prolific. On my list of public people I most admire he ranks #1!
In this audiobook Sowell makes the case that most intellectuals are arrogant and lack common sense, and that their views have far more sway on public opinion and policy than is justified. His case is a strong one that is supported by a multitude of examples.
Direct Feedback
"I find Thomas Sowell fascinating"
I have to confess that I find Thomas Sowell fascinating. I read his book "Economic Facts and Fallacies" and I have read many more. I enjoy watching him one "Youtube." The man has a fantastic mind, he is able to tie real problems and solutions to real outcomes. He does not need to invent, slander or use pejoratives to attach those that disagree. His logic, history, facts and reality prove him right over and over again
I love this book. I enjoyed every bit of it, and I love how Dr. Sowell ties every bit of the intelligentsia's rhetoric back facts, numbers, reality, and history. The book follows Dr. Sowell's thoughts on most of the materials I have read. There is nothing new here, except the ability to read Dr. Sowell's thought. He is unapologetic, honest and forthright. Unlike the Intellectuals who will attack him personally, he has honor, and real intelligence. This work will never rise to fame, as he pulls the blinds open on the Intelligentsia, but it is a great read, even if you don't care for Thomas Sowell.
"Should be required reading. Everyone will benefit"
this book should be read read or listen to by everyone. Dr Sowell understands the problem and offers the solutions.
"Thought provoking"
I really enjoyed this book and it narration. Both the steam if thought and the talent of the narrator were easy to follow and stay engaged with. The content of the book as well gave me a lot to think about in terms of how I interpret history, politics, and society in general. I would encourage anyone to read this book if they have questions about how we as a society have gotten to were we are.
"I just kept agreeing with him."
What an excellent book!
Our country is hemmed in by self described know it alls whose work is never tested and whose mistakes are always forgotten. The unholy trinity of education, mainstream media and government have a strangle hold on our nation. I fear this will only worsen as universities get more left wing and their products take their place in media and government.
Oddly enough, the only hope is the economic crash that I see coming as budget deficits cause massive debt leading to hyperinflation. Then we will be able to rebuild absent the heavy weight of government. People who can actually DO something will be valued in those times.
If you want to see the argument for my conclusions, read or listen to this book.
All Thomas Sowell books are written with truth as the foundation. The narrator was fantastic and well rehearsed. Highly recommended.
Yes, I would listen to it again. this book seems to be the collection of years worth of research to back up a well observed phenomenon. Any student of history will know that intelligent people have created some of the best disasters but this book opens up the motives and thought that made it all possible. There was too much to remember from a single read.
For me the most memorable part of the book was when the author explained how numbers on statistics are manipulated to paint a desired picture, like counting the poor for decades while never counting how many people in the poor have moved to higher classes while the people who occupy the highest classes fall to lower ones at the same time. It opened my eyes to consider people as people as apposed to fixed classes that don't or can't change.
I enjoy listening to Tom Weiner on this book as he sounds somewhat like Thomas Sowell and his voice is easy to listen to as well as understand.
This book is a little to long to listen to all at once but the information that was received made me not want to shut it off.
Great book, if all of Thomas Sowell's books are as good as this one I will be listening to and reading more!
"Biased but good"
Wow! I have to admit this was a book that forced me to look up quite a few words, but it was worth it to figure out exactly what concept the author was trying to convey. This book has strong biases against "Intellectuals" as defined by the author, but he makes excellent points on how society is sometimes hindered by the elitist mentality that is becoming more prevalent in our higher education system graduates and government officials.
To sum up the author's concept as best I can: There is a select, but growing group of individuals who feel that society should be run by the smartest and most educated. That this group of select few will do a better job of running society and deciding what is best for the not-so-educated, not-so-smart masses.
He fundamentally believes that this approach is complete folly.
The author repeatedly challenges this concept and gives numerous examples (some good and some really biased) of how this method of leading society is flawed.
Well worth the read if only to challenge yourself to look at things differently.
"Very Good, But Re-warmed Visions of the Annointed"
I am a big fam of Thomas Sowell's writings and have been since I read Visions of the Annointed a few years ago. That said, having read the former, I was disappointed that this book was really little more than a re-warmed version of VOtA. If you have read VOtA, I would not suggest thsi book. If not, It is a worthy read and sheds light on the tricks played by intellectuals and the followers to skew reality to match their vision.

Although if hes out in the field he will not stop what hes doing and sit if i blast the whistle and hes more than 20 yards away, i have not worked with him much at far distance so i do not expect him to do so. But im was wondering if you guys have any drills that could work on this with him. Like i said he sits on a whistle every time when he is at heel or close by. I just need to work on in the field sits at far distances. I am not using a e-collar yet i am waiting to get him fundamentally sound with all of his commands before using it. Any Ideas and thoughts would be greatly apprechiated.

Okay. I have missed these figures time and time again. At one point I didn't know that they were even being offered. Then I read about them in Toyfare, but there weren't any around this area, or any place out of town that I went to. And I had thought about getting some online, but prices were too high.
Well, I've just seen the movie (which kinda sucked, but it's resparked my interest in the video game - which is what they should have copied to make the movie ) and I need to know what figures were released by Palisades for Resident Evil. I know there were some exclusives, and I'm not really worried about those. Just basic figures.
I know of: Claire Redfield, Zombie Cop, Mr. X, and Alexia from Series Two; and I think I have a Toyfare story about what's coming out for 3, but does anyone know what was in Series One?
If anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it.

A rectal biopsy is a procedure to remove a small piece of rectal tissue for examination.
A rectal biopsy is usually part of
A digital rectal exam is done first. Then, a lubricated instrument (anoscope or proctoscope) is placed into the rectum. You will feel some discomfort when this is done.
A biopsy can be taken through any of these instruments.
You may get a laxative, enema, or other preparation before the biopsy so that you can completely empty your bowels. This will allow the doctor a clear view of the rectum.
There will be some discomfort during the procedure. You may feel like you need to have a bowel movement. You may feel cramping or mild discomfort as the instrument is placed into the rectal area.
A rectal biopsy is used to determine the cause of abnormal growths found during anoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, or other tests. It can also be used to confirm the diagnosis of amyloidosis.
The anus and rectum appear normal in size, color, and shape. There should be no evidence of bleeding, polyps, hemorrhoids, or other abnormalities. No problems are seen when the biopsy tissue is examined under a microscope.
This test is a common way to confirm amyloidosis. It also determines the specific causes of abnormal conditions of the rectum, such as colitis. Other findings could include:
The test may be also performed for:
There is some risk of bleeding and tearing. Occasionally, patients may develop difficulty with urination after the procedure.

Figurative painter to lead events, Feb. 20-23
Posted February 16, 2006; 10:25 p.m.
Figurative painter Zhi Lin will participate in several events on
campus the week of Feb. 20 as a fellow in the Council of the Humanities
and the Tang Center for East Asian Art.
Lin, whose work is deeply rooted in the study of Chinese visual culture, is a professor at the University of Washington-Seattle. A graduate of the China National Academy of Fine Arts, as well as the Slade School of Fine Art at the University of London and the University of Delaware, he has shown his work in a number of major institutions in England, France, Japan, Taiwan, Pakistan, China and the United States.
Lin's large paintings and small studies are the result of more than a decade of work on a project, "Five Capital Executions in China." The five large paintings, "Starvation," "Flaying," "Firing Squad," "Decapitation" and "Drawing and Quartering," are significant as portrayals of history and cultural critique. The sketch shown here is a study for "Drawing and Quartering."
Lin will give two illustrated talks: "Zhi Lin's Work: A Journey Across History and Culture" at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 21, in the Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St.; and "Self-Portraits: Investigations of Nature, the Past and the Present" at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 22, in 106 McCormick Hall.

Red Hat Linux Training with RHCSA / RHCE Certification
Red Hat Linux System Administration 4
Bootcamp for RHCSA/RHCE
This course is a VERY fast-paced, high-level review of material covering all possible objectives of the RHCSA and RHCE exam specific to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux latest version. This includes the standard file sharing services of Linux and Microsoft systems (NFS, FTP, SMB), advanced user administration, advanced disk and file system administration, as well as an introduction to configuring Internet services DHCP, DNS and HTTP (server and proxy) all with a heavy slant towards security configuration (firewall, SELinux and TCP-Wrappers).
Students will review configuring file space using partitions and advanced partitioning services like RAID and LVM, installing and configuring software, basic networking services, log management, service startup management, process control, backup concepts, and general desktop configuration for a workstation on a local area network, as well as tips for troubleshooting a misconfigured system at bootup and misconfigured services.
The objective of this class is to help attendees develop significant technical abilities in just a few days and specifically to prepare for the RHCE exam. This course is more effective in developing the required skills than months of on-the-job training and individual study.
LAN fundamentals or equivalent; Internetworking with TCP/IP or equivalent. 2+ months of solid hands-on experience managing any other type of system is also ideal.
Students must already have excellent knowledge of administration of Linux hosts and extensive experience with standard commands and utilities within a UNIX/Linux command line interface (as per SA2 and SA3 courses). This course builds on these skills by focusing and building on the many concepts used within a Linux or UNIX environment to administer Internet facing services securely.
NOTE: This is NOT the starting point for anyone new to Linux or UNIX. Students MUST already be close to ready for the exam. This course will quickly review all required topics related to the exam objectives. Significant experience with Red Hat Enterprise Linux is absolutely necessary.
Duration: Four days (32 hours)
Audience: Anyone almost ready for RHCE and wanting
to clarify their understanding of administering Red Hat Enterprise Linux
(or any Linux-based) servers and workstations that are directly
connected or closely associated with the Internet. The coverage is fast
and intense.

Family Night a Mixed Bag og Good/Bad Performances for Packers
The annual event is a good reminder to players just how special Titletown is on game day, even for a scrimmage.
"Just amazed at how much has been done in my 9 years here to the stadium, how the fans are so dedicated coming out to Family Night," said Aaron Rodgers in the locker room Saturday night. "The noise they made was incredible. It just makes you feel really privileged to be a part of this organization."
Rodgers' only drive was a good one. He lead the #1 offense on a 10-play, 80-yard drive capped off by a seven yard touchdown to tight end D.J. Williams. After the score the entire offense took the first Lambeau Leap of the season together
As far as stand outs Saturday, it was hard to miss rookie running back Eddie Lacy making an impact on the ground. The former Alabama back has been breathing new life into the Green Bay running game over the last week of practice and on Family Night he piled up 65 yards on eight carries.
"Whenever we call a running play," Lacy said. "If you stretch it the way you're supposed to and the offensive line does what they are instructed to do and everything falls into place, it just builds that trust between the line and the running backs. As long as that continues to be how it is, and everyone gets better, we should not have a problem."
Backup Quarterback B.J. Coleman stumbled in his pursuit of the second string quarterback job. Coleman completed 9 of 17 passes but threw two interceptions including one returned for a touchdown by CB James Nixon.
"I've been working really hard," Coleman said after the disappointing performance. "Once you get out there in an environment with 80,000 people, things start moving a lot faster. Guys are amped up and excited so it was good to get out there and get that experience, and I have to learn from those failures."
Coleman's counterpart Graham Harrell was 9-for-12 for 87 yards with a touchdown pass to RB Angelo Pease.
One position battle that's about to heat up even more following Family Night is the kicking clash between Mason Crosby and Giorgio Tavecchio.
Crosby, who converted a career low 63.6% of his field goals last season, made only 3-of-8 attempts last night. The left-footed Tavecchio was true on 6 of 7 attempts.
"Mason Crosby is competing for a job on our football team like everybody else," said Head Coach Mike McCarthy. "He definitely didn't take a step in the right direction with his performance. He's definitely got to do better than that because that's not going to cut."
So is Crosby worried about his job being in Jeopardy?
"No, I've been hitting the ball well," Crosby said. "Obviously I'm extremely disappointed with how I hit it tonight. I had great lift, hit some good balls, just picked some bad lines and that's something I really need to work on."
"I feel for him," Tavecchio said. "He's a fellow kicker. I thought he struck the ball well today. I think he struck the ball better than I did, but the results don't show that. That's the frustrating part as a kicker."

Werner is also very disciplined, just check out the Orange Bowl to see what I mean. They had him contain the NIU QB all day rather than over pursue. It seemed to have worked out pretty well.
we should take mingo if he gets to us and plug him as a situational rusher opposite wake on passing downs in a 3 point stance...
While the Miami game wasn't Werner's best and Henderson did get the best of him at times, Werner still had his moments. He ran the arc well a few times to rush Morris into a throw and did get into the backfield a few times on Morris. He was also chipped quite a bit and even dropped in coverage. I would gladly take Werner at 12. He has a GREAT first step, evident not only on tape but by his 10 yard time during his 40. He also has good feet. You saw that today during the movement drills and you can see that on tape b/c he's really good at defending the read option. As for his motor, it's fine. Does he not always run down every single play? Yes. But if you watch enough football, you'll see a lot of Dlinemen doing that to conserve energy so they don't gas too quickly and have something left in the tank for the next play since most Dlinemen aren't going to be running down RBs and WRs from behind. I personally hate it, but it's common. His motor on most plays is better than most. He never gives up on a pass rush.
Ansah might not make it to us. People want to mold him into greatness.
Dude is funny. humble. god fearing.
He said he wants to prove everybody wrong. It wasnt that he said it, it was more that deep eyes humble african look he gave ya after he said it. Its gonna happen.
jordans a 34 olb all the way...needs to play standing up...as for damontre moore no ones taking a 250 lb de that runs 4.9 and does 12 reps at 225 in the top 10...NO ONE
ansah is the big beneficiary after today...dion jordan even with the shoulder someone will pull the trigger very high maybe top 10 even...they're all drooling about his movement skills and upside...and he's one of the few edge rush prospects that has a very high end get off

I halved the recipe and served them with carmelized apples to both my girls. I was regretful I hadn't made the full recipe because I would have had seconds they were just that good. I'd say without a doubt these are the best pancakes I've ever made in my house....of course don't tell Aunt Jemima that.
I use an the same amount of melted butter instead of the oil, and it works incredibly well, giving the pancakes a sweet, nutty richness.
Oh, and I would say that buttermilk is essential here.
I use a very similar recipe for a silver dollar version (which is what my hungry bunch asks for).
1-1/2 c. All Purpose Flour
2 tbsp Granulated Sugar
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 Stick Unsalted Butter (cubed and melted)
2 Large Eggs
1 tsp Salt
1-1/4 c. Buttermilk
Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and slowly add butter. Next, add eggs and stir in buttermilk a bit at a time. On the griddle they go with a bit of butter and cook until bubbly and turn.
The mix is just thick enough that you can control the size of the pancake, but thin enough that they stay individually thin as a silver dollar pancake should.
I use a measuring cup (1/4 c.) to ladle out each portion while cooking.
The recipe below originally called for 3 tsp of baking powder to get an awesome fluffiness, but the baking powder made it extremely sour and uneatable. My next attempt I used only close to a tsp of B.P. and they were yummy but, no that fluffy. Can anyone help. Is it the kind of baking powder I use? its Foodclub Baking soda. it says for cleaning and baking. Thanks,
My home recipe is
1.5c flour
1.tsp B.powder
1.tbsp sugar
1.tsp salt
1 1/2c milk
1 egg
3 tbsp melted butter
Have you tried the Rouxbe recipe (this recipe) for pancakes, they are very good and they rise very nicely. We use this recipe all the time (preferably with the buttermilk).
Try this recipe and see what you think, I would provide a link to the recipe, but this IS the recipe!
I was really afraid to try this recipe at first because of the huge amount of baking powder ,I actually thought it's a typo at first ;D.
The batter is really scary it looked like soap foam ( or at least mine looked like one) but this is by far the best pancake ever.....
Is it possible to substitute some of the flour with pecan or almond flour ?? or will this affect the texture of the pancake?
So glad you liked the pancakes Khaled. The batter does look quite foamy and fluffy, but they sure cook up nicely and they also happen to taste really great. This is certainly a "go-to" pancake recipe.
As for substituting some of the flour for pecan or almond flour, I actually don't know how it would affect things, it may make them a bit more dense. Maybe try substituting 1/3 of the all-purpose flour for another type to start. I suggest trying it and then sharing your feedback with us. Cheers!
Two important things to always remember:
1. Don't over mix (do the second exercise in the wheat/gluten exercise to find out why.
2. Let the batter sit for about ten minutes for the baking powder to start to react and then gently ladle onto griddle (don't mix at all after the first very quick mixing of ingredients). You want all this air in your pancakes.
Cheers, Joe.
This might be a stupid question, but is there any reason why I couldn't sift the dry ingredients and put them in an airtight bag for use later? Will it turn out the same?
You can certainly do this but only do it in batches - batches the size that you would make.
If you double, triple, etc the batch and then sift, what can happen is that when you scoop out say a 1/3 of the dry mix, it may not contain the right proportions of salt, sugar, baking powder, etc.
So make a batch, sift, bag. Then make the next batch, sift, bag, etc. so that you end up with consistent results when you add the wet stuff.
Brilliant... I'm going to make up a couple batches now so they're ready for the weekend. :) Thanks, Joe! :)
Oh, one more thing... for measuring out the flour, are you using the dip and sweep method, or spoon method?
Honestly we just scoop and sweep but the spoon method would also work. You will see that these pancakes are very easy to make (and measure) the only trick is to not over mix them when you are making the batter. See the lesson on Wheat and Gluten for more info on this.
Good luck, I am sure you will love them! Oh, one more thing, the recipe calls for buttermilk or milk...use the buttermilk, it makes for the best pancakes.
We do not have a conversion chart available on Rouxbe yet. One cup of all-purpose flour is the equivalent to 140 grams. For baking recipes that use strict formulas, we will post the measurements in weight as well. Weighing ingredients does provide the most consistent results when baking/making pastries, etc.
In the meantime, here is a good link for some common ingredient conversions. Happy Cooking!

A picturesque lane in a village outside of Jerusalem, Ein Karem – the traditional "town in the hill country of Judea" (Luke 1:39) – leads to the Church of John the Baptist, where Christians have marked John's birthplace for over 1,500 years. The vestiges of many centuries of destruction and rebirth can all be seen here; mosaics attest to earlier houses of worship, while the inner walls of today's church, rebuilt in 1674, are covered with beautiful blue and white Spanish tiles.
The most ancient part of this venerable landmark is downstairs. It is the cave where early Christians gathered to worship on the site of the house of Elizabeth and Zachariah. Here, depicted in marble, are John's birth, his naming, and his baptism of Jesus in the Jordan. After your visit, the church courtyard, shaded by pungent pepper trees, is the perfect place for prayer and Bible study.

Limited scleroderma, or CREST syndrome, is one subtype of scleroderma — a condition that literally means "hardened skin."
The skin changes associated with limited scleroderma typically occur only in the lower arms and legs and sometimes the face and throat. Limited scleroderma can also affect your digestive tract.
The problems caused by limited scleroderma may be minor. Sometimes, however, the disease affects the lungs or heart, with potentially serious results. Limited scleroderma has no known cure, and treatments focus on managing symptoms and preventing serious complications.
While some varieties of scleroderma occur rapidly, signs and symptoms of limited scleroderma usually develop gradually. They include:
Limited scleroderma is believed to be an autoimmune disorder — one in which your immune system turns against your own body. In limited scleroderma, the immune system appears to stimulate the production of too much collagen, a key component of connective tissue. This overproduction of collagen builds up in the skin and internal organs, impairing their function.
The visible signs of limited scleroderma — tight, thick skin on your fingers, hands and face — can affect the way you feel about your appearance; make everyday tasks, such as opening a jar or shaving, more difficult; and even affect your speech. But the most serious complications tend to occur beneath your skin.
Because limited scleroderma can affect so many different parts of your body, you may need to be seen by a variety of doctors, including those who specialize in the treatment of arthritis and other musculoskeletal disorders (rheumatologist), skin disorders (dermatologist) or lung disorders (pulmonologist).
To make the most of your appointment, you may want to write a list that includes:
Preparing a list of questions may help you make the most of your time with your doctor. For limited scleroderma, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
During the physical exam, your doctor will look for changes in the texture, color and appearance of your skin. He or she may also ask:
Like other unusual and complex autoimmune disorders, limited scleroderma can be difficult to diagnose. Signs and symptoms vary widely and often resemble those of other diseases. To complicate matters even more, limited scleroderma sometimes occurs with other autoimmune conditions — such as polymyositis, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
The diagnosis of limited scleroderma is generally made based on your signs and symptoms. In addition, tests that may help in the diagnosis of limited scleroderma include:
In addition to tests that may help diagnose limited scleroderma itself, your doctor may recommend additional tests to identify any lung, heart or gastrointestinal complications.
Limited scleroderma has no known cure. Treatment focuses on relieving signs and symptoms and preventing complications.
Several types of medications can help ease the signs and symptoms of limited scleroderma, including:
Stiff, painful joints and skin are common problems in limited scleroderma. Learning the right way to stretch and exercise through physical or occupational therapy can help you maintain your flexibility and strength.
For some problems, a surgical procedure may be necessary, including for:
To reduce Raynaud's symptoms, wear gloves or mittens outdoors when the weather is cool and indoors when you reach into the freezer. To maintain your body's core temperature when it's cool, dress in layers and wear a hat or scarf, thermal socks, and well-fitting boots or shoes that don't cut off your circulation.
If you smoke, talk to your doctor about the best ways to quit. Nicotine constricts your blood vessels, making Raynaud's phenomenon worse. Smoking also worsens heartburn.
Regular exercise can help you maintain your flexibility and strength. Ask your doctor or physical or occupational therapist what activities are right for you.
If you have difficulty swallowing, choose soft, moist foods and chew them well. To minimize acid reflux:
Excess collagen destroys sweat and oil glands, leaving your skin stiff and dry. To help soften your skin:
Be sure to have regular checkups and use any special rinses or toothpastes your dentist recommends. If your mouth is chronically dry, try drinking more water and sucking on ice chips or hard, sugarless candy. When these measures fail, your dentist may prescribe a medication to stimulate the flow of saliva.
To help boost blood flow to extremities, you might try biofeedback, a technique that teaches you to control certain body responses. Relaxation exercises or medication also may be helpful.
Because limited scleroderma can affect your appearance and your ability to perform simple tasks, your self-esteem may suffer. It's common for people with limited scleroderma to become depressed.
Talking with a counselor may help you come to grips with the changes caused by this disease. Communicating with people facing the same illness, either through online or in-person support groups, also may be helpful.

You've got a little more than two weeks before the inaugural Tupelo Craft Beer Festival, and a limited number of tickets are left.
Click here for a link to the festival website.
According to Matt Leff of Nashville-based Rhizome Productions, which is putting on the event, more than a third of the 1,000 available tickets have been sold, and he expects the halfway point to be reached soon.
"We're pleased with the response so far," he said.
Leff also expects a big walkup crowd the day of the festival, especially with the Rascal Flatts concert slated for later that night at the BancorpSouth Arena.
Tickets, by the way, are $35 in advance and $40 at the gate. You can buy the tickets online here. Designated Driver tickets also are being sold for $10. There's no limit to those tickets and Leff encourages festival attendees to make sure they have a designated driver to get them home safely. There will be security at the event.
As a reminder, the event is March 2 from Noon to 5 p.m. at Veterans Park. As of now, 30 brewers with around 100 beers are signed up for the event. Food also will be served by Neon Pig and Papa V's.

By NEMS Daily Journal
Mississippi public schools' chief statewide funding mechanism, the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, is described as holding at level funding for budget year 2014 under proposals alive in the House and Senate, but money will fall short of full formula funding by $300.5 million under either bill.
Level funding, under narrow scenarios, could be seen as encouraging, but the Legislature has generally failed to fully fund MAEP except for two years since its full enactment in 2002, surely diminishing what could have been its full impact during those years.
On Wednesday, the House passed HB 1648, its level funding bill, which increases spending by $28 million for K-12, mostly for retirement costs.
The Senate bill, not yet passed, notably contains $8 million in funding for the start of a phased-in statewide pre-K education program, far from enough for a full statewide program but enough to begin what's hoped will become the model for enactment in every district.
The impact on MAEP as the situation has evolved is not encouraging but not without hope, some legislators say.
The MAEP formula produces a base student cost, the amount that is required to provide each student an adequate education in a Mississippi school. Each district is required to provide up to 27 percent of the base student cost through a local contribution made up of local ad valorem taxes. The state funds the difference between what a local community is able to provide (up to a maximum of 27 percent) and the total base student cost.
MAEP provides, under law:
• Teacher and other district employees' salaries, retirement and insurance
• Textbooks and other instructional materials
The MAEP formula does not include funding, for example, for administrators' salaries, often a hot topic for criticism ensnarling MAEP.
The truth is, when all state taxes and fees are considered, K-12 education makes up about 23 percent of the state's budget, much lower than the often-reported 60 percent. When federal funds are rolled into the mix, K-12 education makes up about 6.5 percent of the state budget.
The MAEP was designed to erase long-standing, earlier inequities by ensuring children in every region of Mississippi an adequate, or successful, education. A $300 million shortfall in funding to the formula is far off the mark of what MAEP's framers sought and what school districts need.

No More Bullying: 13 Million Kids Get Bullied Every Year
Bully, the highly anticipated anti-bullying documentary (in theaters March 30th), has sparked a protest and now a movement, as a number of major movie stars, theater owners, and members of Congress have joined forces to protest the film's R rating. In a clear triumph for the film, Gerry Lopez, CEO of AMC Theaters, one of the most prominent theater chains in the world, spoke out against the R-Rating, saying, "To 'automatically default' Bully is a mistake. Automatic default to a rating, a category, a genre — doesn't matter — is a mistake. The message, the movie, and its social relevance defy that kind of formulaic, conventional thinking. AMC will show this movie, and we invite our guests to engage in the dialogue its relevant message will inevitably provoke."

MLK chapel service features Carter, Jan. 19
Posted January 17, 2003; 12:36 a.m.
Richard Carter, program administrator for the Teacher Preparation Program , will serve as the guest preacher at 11 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 19, during the Martin Luther King Jr. Service of Recommitment in the Princeton University Chapel on campus.
"Love Knows No Boundaries" is his topic. The service also will feature a rendition of "Go Down, Moses" arranged by Michael Tippett under the direction of Penna Rose and sung by the Chapel Choir .
"The [service] represents a special opportunity to reflect upon this critical period in our nation's history, relative to contemporary circumstances, from a spiritual perspective," Carter said. "King's efforts to create a world in which it is easier to love are relevant to our lives today because many citizens in our society continue to struggle for validation and security."
Carter holds three degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, including his bachelor's in 1988, an M.S. Ed. in 1989 and an Ed.D. in 1998. He began his professional career in 1989 as a teacher at Turner Middle School in Philadelphia, where he was recognized for outstanding teaching. In 1995, he became assistant professor of teacher education at Rider University, where he taught secondary education courses and supervised student teachers. Carter joined Princeton University in 2001.

The regular open enrollment period to buy a 2016 individual health plan ended January 31. However, if you qualify, you may be able to apply for coverage now, in a special enrollment period. Learn about special enrollment.
Many people get their health insurance through their employers. But if your employer doesn't offer health insurance, or if you're unemployed or self-employed, you'll still need a health plan. That's where individual insurance comes in. You shop, purchase, enroll, and pay for it yourself. Despite its name, you can purchase individual insurance for your family, not just for yourself.
There are three major factors to consider when shopping for a health plan:
LifeWise can help you decide which plan is best for you, learn whether you qualify for financial help with your health plan costs, and help you buy a plan. Call us at
800-596-3440 with any questions.
You've probably heard the terms bronze, silver, and gold plans. These terms refer to how much you'll pay. They don't refer to the benefits in a plan and they don't rate the quality of the medical care you'll receive.
There are three important kinds of costs to consider:
Premiums. Up-front monthly costs that you pay regardless of whether you use any healthcare services. This is similar to the payment you make for car or home insurance, regardless if you ever have an accident or file a claim.
Cost shares or out-of-pocket costs. This is what you pay if you see a doctor or get other medical care. You pay only a share of the cost, and your health plan pays the rest. Common cost shares are deductibles, copays, and coinsurance.
Out-of-pocket maximum. The maximum amount you could have to pay in a year for covered services from in-network providers.
For more information, see:
Health Plan Terms to Know
What's best for you?
Which plan is best for you depends on several things, but primarily on whether you have some health or medical problems and expect to need a lot of medical care and services during the year, or whether you are in excellent health and need a health plan just in case something happens.
Keep in mind, all plan levels—bronze, silver, and gold—cover most preventive care, in full, with little or no out-of-pocket cost to you.
Another term you'll see in some plan names is HSA, which stands for health savings account. These plans generally have high deductibles, meaning you'll pay that amount for medical costs before your health plan's coverage kicks in. These plans may have special tax advantages, and allow you to set up a special bank account for medical expenses. Because these plans have high deductibles, they generally have lower monthly health plan bills. You should make sure you understand how these plans work before choosing them.
Other factors that affect the cost of plans
Call us at
800-596-3440 with any questions.
On December 31, 2016, all individual LifeWise medical and dental coverage will end because LifeWise Health Plan of Oregon is leaving the Oregon health plan market.
However, if something has changed and you or your family has experienced a major life event, you may be able to apply now for 2016 coverage, in a special enrollment period.
Learn more about special enrollment.If you qualify, call us at 800-596-3440 for help in choosing a plan that's right for you.

Q How long have you been growing tea and what got you started?
A"I have worked in tea for 24 years. When I was 18 my family was very poor. We could not have the chance to buy tea to drink. My parents like teas. So I decided to work in tea."
Q Can you describe a typical day out in the field?
A"As I am poor I have to work hard to earn more money. So I work very hard from 6am in the morning till 6pm in the evening. Sometimes I like to work overnight so as to get more money.

TUPELO – One of America's most widely-known Bible teachers will appear live and in-person at the BancorpSouth Arena on Thursday.
Dr. David Jeremiah, founder of Turning Point Ministries, will hold a rally to share God's word in his direct yet comforting style.
"I've been very involved with the American Family Radio for a long time and I kept telling my friends there 'one of these days, I'm going to come to Tupelo,'" he said. "So I did."
Jeremiah launched Turning Point Ministries in 1982, as a radio broadcast ministry. Today the 30-minute program is heard on over 1800 stations, and Turning Point has expanded to include television and magazine products.
Himself a jack of all trades – televangelist, pastor, and author of over two dozen books – Jeremiah said he used the forum of his Turning Point rallies to engage the audience on things happening in their culture.
Next weekend, he will speak to the topic of fear.
"The Bible talks about the subject of fear quite a lot. Think how often the phrase 'fear not' appears," he said. "With prime time news, we see so much tragedy, it's easy to become paranoid. That's why the message that God loves us is so important to hear."
His rally, described as a "church service on steroids," will include a performance by the former Gaither Vocal Band member Marshall Hall and pianist Ian Oakley.
So far, they have drawn big crowds at venues in Kansas City and Oklahoma City. Though Tupelo may seem small by comparison, Jeremiah said he and his team were expecting a packed house.
"It's quite amazing to have 9,000 people together singing. It's a feeling not like any other," he said. "On stage, I get the full scope of it, and it can be quite overwhelming."
Jeremiah serves as pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church, one of the largest churches in San Diego, but fulfilling a ministry at home and on the road is anything but tiring.
"I know I'm doing what God wants me to do, and I love what I do," he said. "It energizes me. It's a privilege to go to a new place and invite others to share in the love of Christ."
The rally will take place on April 25 at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

These flavor-packed muffins are a treat at breakfast, lunch or supper! They're also great for snacking.
One lemon will do the trick! You'll get about 3 tablespoons juice and 1 tablespoon grated peel from one medium lemon.
For the moistest muffins, be sure to thoroughly combine the milk, oil, yogurt and egg before adding the dry ingredients. Once dry ingredients are added, you want to mix the batter as little as possible.

Fly Swatters, a Whale Skull and Sore Feet
Posted On June 18, 2013 by Nick Mallos
This is the third update from Ocean Conservancy Conservation Biologist and Marine Debris Specialist Nicholas Mallos, writing from the GYRE Expedition in Alaska. Read his first update here, and his second here
Motivating oneself to work on minimal sleep is not difficult after spending an hour watching humpback and fin whales surface-feed. Graced yet again with sunny skies and calm seas, we deployed Jubatus after fueling up on coffee and assembling our gear. We skimmed across the water's glassy surface and landed on a small pocket beach at Perevalnie Point on Shuyak Island just after 9 a.m.

Import The Color Swatches ?

The last couple of kits I've purchased have come with the designer's color swatches. Yesterday I tried using the swatch to exactly match a color for the scrap simple layout I was doing. I couldn't figure out how to pull the color from the swatch. I couldn't use the color picker, and it kept opening in 'channels'.
Is there an easier way? I haven't found a lesson in the university.

I drag the colour swatch into my PSE9 window - make it small and keep it in bottom corner. When I want to use a colour from it, I use the eyedropper tool to change the colour of the program's colour chip, then I can pour, brush or use Hue/Sat, etc. :-)
My play tools are: CS5.5, PSE9; PRE9; PSPX2, on a Laptop PC, with Win7
Posted 05 April 2011 - 01:53 PM
Thanks, ok--so I need to NOT import it into photoshop, but keep it nearby? I thought there was someway to create the swatch inside photoshop and have it stored there?
Posted 05 April 2011 - 02:00 PM
This is just what I do and it works for me. It's quick and easy peazy! lol I expect there is a way to make a colour chart with it and keep it in your system, but I don't know how. I'm sure if there is a way, someone will come along and mention it. Happy scrapping! :-)

I don't know if you have the swatch tab in PSE, but in Photoshop there is an "Add to Swatches" button on the color picker. You can add all the colors from the designer's color swatch to that, and save them as a swatch set.When you save a swatch set, it saves as an ASE file. Those you can load into PS, but they aren't the kind of swatches included with some collections.
My Gallery I scrap with Photoshop CS6.
Posted 05 April 2011 - 10:09 PM
PSE does have color swatches. You can open it through Windows>Color Swatches. A quick look showed me that you can click on a New Page icon at the bottom of that window to add the current foreground color as a swatch. I think there is a way you can create separate color palettes but I will have to do a bit more investigation. I knew how to do it once in an earlier version but I haven't tried it in 9.
Posted 05 April 2011 - 10:26 PM
That's so cool Pat! I'm looking forward to hearing more about how to make your own swatches in PSE9. :-)
My play tools are: CS5.5, PSE9; PRE9; PSPX2, on a Laptop PC, with Win7
Posted 06 April 2011 - 11:30 AM
In Photoshop I open it just like it's any other embellishment then use the eyedropper to select the first color. Once I have the first color selected I click the little icon in the color palette that looks like a folded square of paper (Create new swatch of foreground color.) It will add the color to the palette where I can access it easily any time. Then I do each of the others. And like April said you can save the swatch set. Hope that helps!

Thanks Dustin. Looks like perfect timing for me.
Thanks Dustin. Looks like perfect timing for me.
I've had the opportunity to check out his fetch command and liked how he presents his information and how he shows a puppy going through it versus a dog that has already been taught.
I watched Lardy's TRT disk 1 today and was not nearly as impressed granted I only train my dogs for hunting. I found there wasn't much detail but I've got the articles on order so I'm guessing that will provide more support.
Can't wait for the basics video.
In using TRT myself I found that until you had read the materials and watched the accompanying video at least 5 times I had no idea just how much was actually going on in the sessions. I'm still seeing new stuff as I read through it.
Update....Greetings,Well, sometimes things work out better than youthink they're going to.The new basic training video has been shippedto us from the replication company and will bein Caldwell, Texas on Tuesday December 11th.This is the land portion of basic training andit is a documentary about going through thetraining steps from start to finish.This is not a lecture on how to teach each partbut the actual training of specific dogs.I'm showing, on this DVD, that I believe it is possibleto increase desire and mold character while teachinga dog to learn the skills needed to go forwardas a complete retriever. So, I've demonstratedhow to teach the concepts and skills while buildingdesire and confidence. This DVD will concentrate on land.The water fundamentals are already filmed and we areworking on getting them out as soon as we can,but at least we have the land section ready now.Please check out www.hawkeyemedia.net for more info.Thanks a lot and keep me posted,Bill
Sounds good, thanks for the update.
Updated info on his website. Looks like you can order now.
Steep price, but I'm sure I will order and add to the collection
I just received the Basic's DVD yesterday and had the chance to watch a little bit of it. I really liked it and seem to really like how Bill presents the material and seems to make it enjoyable on the dog. I certainly like the way the dogs seem to react to his pressure and seem to love to enjoy doing the work. another great video. I am going to follow his process from start to finish with my new pup coming in the next couple months. We'll see how it goes. I've still got a few more of the TRT videos to watch but seem to enjoy watching Bill's DVD's more. I'm sure I would be happy following either program.
I certainly would highly recommend his videos if there are folks out there looking.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 9:53 PM GMT on December 05, 2008
A conference called the Hurricane Science for Safety Leadership Forum convened this week in Orlando to look at how we can better prepare for the inevitable hurricanes in our future. The conference brought together an interesting mix of experts--scientists from environmental groups like the National Wildlife Federation, insurance industry representitives, and a representative from the pro-business Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI).
There are a number of interesting Powerpoint and video presentations posted on their web site, for those interested. The most eye-opening fact I saw came during a presentation done by Amanda Staudt of the National Wildlife Federation. In her presentation on the policy implication of hurricanes and climate change, she showed that the population of South Florida is projected to grow from a 1990 population of 6.3 million to a 2050 population of 15-30 million people. That's a startling increase in population. Higher and higher hurricane damage tabs are inevitable in coming decades, just from this huge increase in population. She goes further, showing that if the theoretical predictions for global warming by the end of the century come true--a 2-13% increase in hurricane winds due to ocean warming, a 10-31% increase in hurricane rainfall, and an increase in sea level of several feet--there is likely to be a huge increase in hurricane damage, and probably in deaths, as well.
I have a few comments on this. While I believe that hurricane damages will continue to grow primarily because of population increases, higher wealth, and poor land management, the contribution of increased damage due to global warming will start to become significant by the end of the century. The 5% increase in hurricane winds per °C of ocean warming theorized by hurricane researcher Dr. Kerry Emanuel (Emanuel, 2005) may not seem like much, it will make a significant difference in the destructive power of the strongest storms. A Category 4 hurricane does about four times more damage than a Category 3 hurricane, and 250 times more damage than a Category 1 storm (Figure 1). Given the expected increase of tropical sea surface temperatures of 1-2 °C by 2100, hurricane wind speeds should increase by 5-10%. Since the difference in wind speed between a Category 3 and Category 4 hurricane is about 15%, we can anticipate that the strongest hurricanes in 2100 will do 1 1/2 to 3 times more damage than they do now.
This may be an underestimate of the increase in damage, though. Global sea level rose about 0.75 feet last century, and is expected to rise 0.6 - 1.9 feet this century, according to the "official" word on climate, the 2007 report of the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). A paper published by Pfeffer et al. in Science this year concluded that the IPCC underestimated sea level rise, and that the "most likely" range of sea level rise by 2100 is 2.6 - 6.6 feet. If true, we can expect greatly increased damage from hurricane storm surges. However, it is possible that there will be fewer hurricanes by the end of the century, thanks to an increase in wind shear over the tropical Atlantic (Vecchi and Soden, 2007).
Figure 1. Potential hurricane damage as a function of Saffir-Simpson category for U.S. hurricanes between 1925-1995. If the median damage from a Category 1 hurricane is normalized to be a "one", then Category 2, 3, and 4 hurricanes were 10, 50, and 250 times more damaging, respectively. Data taken from Pielke, Jr. R. A., and C. W. Landsea, 1998: "Normalized Atlantic hurricane damage 1925-1995" Wea. Forecasting, 13, pp.621-631.
Better building codes
Congressman Bennie Thompson, D-MS, Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, helped to kick off the conference with opening remarks that underscored his intention to hold Congressional hearings on developing new building codes in hurricane-prone areas. He was hopeful that President-elect Obama and new incoming head of Homeland Security, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, would work to adopt new, tougher building standards. "Take a look at the homes on the Bolivar Peninsula in Texas that are still standing after the hurricane," Thompson said. "We know how to build stronger homes. Now we just need to do it." Thompson said that while such legislation had been introduced in the past but failed, chances were better under an Obama administration of passage.
I think it is essential that more stringent and comprehensive building codes get adopted in hurricane alley to reduce the inevitable huge price tags from future hurricanes.

- Description
Ano Poli (also called Old Town and literally the Upper Town) is the heritage listed district north of Thessaloniki's city center that was not engulfed by the great fire of 1917 and was declared a UNESCO heritage site by ministerial actions of Melina Merkouri, during the 1980s. It consists of Thessaloniki's most traditional part of the city, still featuring small stone paved streets, old squares and homes featuring old Greek and Ottoman architecture.
Ano Poli also, is the highest point in Thessaloniki and as such, is the location of the city's acropolis, its Byzantine fort, the Heptapyrgion and the city's remaining walls, with many of its additional Ottoman and Byzantine structures still standing. The area provides access to the Seich Sou Forest National Park[127] and features amphitheatric views of the whole city and the Thermaic Gulf. On clear days Mount Olympus, at about 100 km (62 mi) away across the gulf, can also be seen towering the horizon.

By Tiernan Ray
Citigroup's Mark May this morning reiterated a Buy rating on shares of Yahoo! (YHOO), and hikes his price target to $46 from $39, after cutting estimates to assume higher capital expenses, but raising his valuation of the company's 24% stake in Alibaba Group Holding, the Chinese e-commerce giant that is expected to go public eventually.
May's is the latest in a spate of notes offering higher estimates for Alibaba, and for Yahoo! as a consequence, following a report last Thursday from UBS's Eric Sheridan, and a similar piece a week ago from RBC's Mark Mahaney.
May reiterates an expectation for revenue next year of $4.68 billion, or $4.45 billion on a net basis (excluding the cost of traffic acquisition). But his adjusted Ebitda for the year goes to $1.32 billion from a prior $1.5 billion:
Three notable assumptions we made that could change: 1) We're assuming a 1% increase in opex in CY14 vs. annualized 4Q13. Every 5% incremental y/y increase (e.g., +6% vs. 1%) equates to $1 in downside to our price target; 2) We're assuming Yahoo! owns 24% of AG, but the diluted stake could be lower. Every 1% reduction in diluted ownership equates to $1 downside to our target; and, 3) user engagement metrics remain solid but we assume only 1% net revenue growth in CY14.
May raises his forward P/E multiple for Alibaba Group to 29 times from a prior 22 times, and that causes his price target to rise, even though he's now expecting Yahoo! will see its stake taxed should it sell a portion at IPO. Previously, he'd been modeling the prospect of a "tax-efficient" spinoff.
The Alibaba Group payout is still the primary driver of Yahoo! shares, he writes:
Yahoo! 2.0 — Many investors have been and continue to be fixated on the likely IPO of Alibaba Group as the key catalyst and reason for owning YHOO shares, and some are concerned about the sell-on-the-news risk for YHOO. We believe YHOO shares can continue to out-perform, even after the IPO, for three main reasons: 1) it will still hold ~14% of AG, which will represent approx. one-third of YHOO's value; 2) continued large excess cash balance and share buybacks; and, 3) continued core Yahoo! improvement and revenue growth inflection.
Yahoo! shares are down 10 cents at $39.63.

Hello. I'm kind of new here and have really gotten into collecting MR products. They're definitely a unique company and have some great quality stuff.
Anyway, I was curious about the quality of ICONS' props versus Master Replicas. I know that ICONS was an officially licensed prop company that manufactured a few lightsaber hilts in the mid-1990s, but I wanted to know if they were as accurate as MR sabers. Did they also have access to the Lucasfilm archives to allow for careful study of the original filming props?
I was also curious if ICONS sabers hold their value vs. MR. Are they less desirable? I am certainly not collecting prop replicas based on their potential investment value, but I wanted to know other prop collectors points-of-view on ICONS and MR.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
P.S. - Are there any Web links for more information on ICONS?

Lawyers challenge new law on medical malpractice
Published: Monday, July 1, 2013 at 3:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 1, 2013 at 3:53 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Lawyers are challenging a new law designed to protect doctors facing medical malpractice suits.
Five suits were filed in state and federal courts Monday by lawyers who want to see the law thrown out.
The law went into effect Monday. It requires that expert witnesses who are called against a defendant doctor practice the exact same kind of medicine and not just be in similar fields.
It also allows any health care provider called as a witness to breach patient confidentiality and give the defendant's attorneys information about a patient's treatment.
The lawsuits argue that the law violates the right to privacy guaranteed in the state constitution as well as a federal law that protects patients' privacy.
