N+1 Singer - Small-cap quantitative research - Growth style screen revamp and 10 focus stocks
We have reviewed the performance of our consistent growth screen since the previous refresh on 27 September 2016 and revamped the selection parameters to focus more on forecast sales and EPS growth going forward. In the period under review the consistent growth style screen outperformed the small-cap benchmark by c. 6% and underperformed the microcap index by a similar amount. Interestingly, although growth doesn't always seem to be defensive as might be expected, however it appears right to buy growth on dips caused by or coincident with wider market volatility. In the new forecast growth screen we take a close look at 10 focus stocks. We will monitor performance and refresh it in three to four months time.

Growth supported by a strong balance sheet
Lok'nStore's H1 2017 results confirm continued good progress in its strategic development. The existing stores continue to fill, the newly opened stores are trading well, and new opportunities are being secured. Against the backdrop of a structural undersupply of self storage in the UK, and supported by a strong balance sheet, we continue to see strong growth prospects for the group and have raised our target price to 510p (from 478p), removing the discount to peers.

How long is long term?
Assessing whether a trust with just under three years' track record and very few, if any, direct peers delivers compound growth in shareholder value over the long term in a competitive manner, is far from straight forward. FEET aims to add value, using the power of compounded returns over the long term. The 2016 year of underperformance (12% NAV total return against 33% total return in MSCI Emerging Markets Index) provokes a question whether this is an opportunity to buy or the well-publicized manager's investment approach fails to work in emerging markets.

Panmure Morning Note 25-04-2017
We sense-check our 2017 sales forecast for Nortek after Lennox International reported its Q1 results yesterday. We are forecasting 8.5% revenue growth for Nortek, with Air Management, the largest division, growing at 5%. Lennox reported 11% sales growth for its Residential Heating & Cooling business while Commercial Heating & Cooling business rose 15%. Lennox' Q1/17 revenues were exaggerated by six extra days, therefore, we estimate that underlying growth was more like 5% and 9%, respectively, for Residential and Commercial. At this stage, we are comfortable with our 5% growth forecast for Nortek's Air Management business.

N+1 Singer - Brooks Macdonald Group - Positive net inflows and performance combine to drive FuM growth
Brooks Macdonald sustained net inflows into Q3 which were complemented by positive investment performance. FuM grew by 6.5% to £9.9bn. The Q3 FuM outturn is in line with our model estimate. We do not expect to make changes to our forecasts. We believe that the forecast earnings growth (26% 3yr EPS CAGR), underpinned by organic FuM growth, continues to offer value. We reiterate our BUY recommendation with a 2175p 12m Target Price (17x FY18e PER).

Anne was born in Scotland but brought up in South Africa. After she left school she returned to the birthplace of her parents, the remote Western Islands of Scotland. She left there to train as a nurse before going on to university to study English literature. After the birth of her first child, she and her doctor husband traveled the world working in rural Africa, Australia and Northern Canada.
Anne worked in the health sector until very recently, laterally as a manager of an IVF unit, so she has no shortage of medical scenes for her books. In addition, she blatantly picks her husbands brain to ensure the medical detail is correct and up to date. And if he can't help, he usually manages to find a colleague who can.
She still loves to travel and grabs any opportunity to see new places, incorporating the most romantic locations into her books.
To relax, she enjoys playing tennis, yoga, walking and, of course, reading.

Cons: Limited app choice, Zune has been discontinued
Although I love music and have historically been fond of Apple products (since the Mac Classic), I never found a need for an iPod. They seemed cool, and I sort of wanted one, but I really didn't have much use for a portable player. When I finally broke down and bought one for the gym, I went with a Sansa Clip, as reviews said it sounded better than all but a few iPods. Later I upgraded to a Sansa Fuze, which I also liked. But something was missing. I didn't just want to load up a device with MP3s; I wanted more of a curated experience ala Apple. But I didn't really want an iPod. *Everybody* had one of those, and the iTunes store's DRM (not a problem now) and interface...(read more)

Here's a pleasing main dish salad that rescues the what's for supper question every time.
Rotini or juniorettes pasta can be used instead of the gemelli.
Toasting almonds is easy. Just place them in an ungreased shallow pan and bake at 350°F for 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
Serve this tasty salad with whole-grain rolls, fresh orange wedges and tall glasses of iced tea or lemonade.

Here we go!
We loved the look of subway tile but didn't want just plain ol' white. So we opted for Desert Gray, by Daltile with Alabaster white as our grout choice. We ordered our tile from Daltile, here in SLC, but had to go through our contractor, Doug, at Granite City to get the exact tiles we needed. They were special order.
Our Kitchen Rug
We scooped up this beauty from RugsUSA.com when they had their 75% off sale. It's called Steppes Leaves Natural Rug and I got mine in gray... BUT it's definitely more dusty blue than gray, so just a heads up.
The 75% off sale happens every few months or so, but if you don't want to wait, you can usually still get a really good deal. Actually, right now it's 50% off!
Seriously, the MOST asked question by far. haha!
and then just simply wrapped some storm grey colored chevron vinyl around it. Easy-Peasy!
Our Roman Shade in the Kitchen Window over the Sink
Oh! And since someone has already asked about the dishtowel... it's from Gygi. I don't think they sell it online, but they may still have it in their store.


text: I have been progressing through Lardy's program with my 11 month BLF. After completing CC in about 7 sessions I moved yesterday into the indirect portion on simple casting. Here is where the problem starts. When I went back to the 3 handed casting drill it seems that the pup has done a complete mind dump. Initially I started with a few freebies that were not quite up to par but acceptable then continued until I was presented the opportunity for a correction and gave a "No, here (nick), sit". Now she acts like she has no idea whats going on, wont take casts, on overs she tries to come at me, wont go to a pile even after I ear pinch her to the correct one. I collar conditioned her at a 3 and used a high 2 for the correction (TT Pro 500). Simple casting in the yard prior to CC was completed to about 90% proficiency per the video and I have tried to regress and make more of a game out of it again but I'm not sure its helping. Not sure exactly what to do whether to skip to collar fetch then return or go completely back to a couple days of simple casting with no collar.

HP Pavilion at San Jose/Shark Tank: An Arena Recycling Success
|Arena Recycling Success Quick Finder
|Arena Recycling HomeState, city & county recycling resources in CaliforniaQuestions to ask recyclers/haulers
|Stadium recycling: how to get startedStadium and arenas with programs that work!Related Links
In 2001, the HP Pavilion's event managers developed a plan with Waste Management – the Pavilion's trash contractor – to improve the recycling program at the arena. Through cooperation, HP Pavilion at San Jose and Waste Management created a far more effective recycling program that now also includes an impressive composting component. For HP Pavilion, better recycling and the startup of a composting program turned out to be significantly cheaper than landfill disposal.
The HP Pavilion recycles all glass and plastics from the concessions, the restaurants and the bar areas. The venue also provides receptacles for glass and aluminum in the executive suites. Employees pick up the recyclables from the suites after the events. HP Pavilion management recognizes that simply providing recycling containers will not work in other parts of the arena. Even if a recycling container is situated next to a trash can, trash and recyclables are usually commingled. To solve this problem, the arena has a post-game pick-up to gather recyclable beverage containers left in the seating area.
The HP Pavilion currently has a 4-cubic-yard container for glass and mixed plastics that is emptied up to three times a week. They also have a 3-cubic-yard bin for mixed paper that is picked up once a week, and a cardboard baler which is used to bale up to nine tons of cardboard a month.
The HP Pavilion also has a 34-cubic-yard trash compactor which is taken to a facility where much of the material is composted by GreenWaste Recovery. Not everything gets recycled: the arena still uses a 40-cubic-yard bin for the trash that is not recycled or composted.
The most expensive part of the building's recycling program is the labor investment in the post-game pick-up of the seating area. At HP Pavilion, this is done by their own in-house Building Services staff. While post-event pick-up of recyclable materials does require initial training of the custodial staff, it is the most efficient way to recapture the large number of plastics from the venue's seating area.In 2000, before revamping its recycling program, HP Pavilion recycled up to 15% of its waste. By 2002, HP Pavilion had diverted almost 97% – nearly all of its waste – from landfill disposal through recycling and composting.
Next steps for HP Pavilion include finding guest-friendly recycling bins; EPA is helping the Pavilion find bins that are small enough to put out in the public areas of the arena.
The key to successful recycling program is having a recycling champion inside the venue organization, and at HP Pavilion it is Monte Chavez. Monte has agreed to talk with venue managers and operations directors interested in starting or improving recycling programs at their facilities.

I believe it does not matter who gives in. The goverment can work together and do what they percieve to be best for the rest of us.
And there inlies the problem. The people in this country now believe that goverment is responsible for thier well bieng, and all they need to exsist here on earth. This is not the same country that believed in individualism. God given rights and freedom. It has become a country of takers. When a president asked its citizens not tooooo long ago. "ask not what your country can do for you,but what can you do for your country." This idea has been lost. It is now What can my goverment do for me, and I don't care what god given right I have to give up to get it. Just give me what I need and who cares about the rest of the country. I ask people where do you get your money from and they say the goverment. Ask them where do they get it and they say from thier stash. Yes I am in Philly right now and thats the way it is.

Giacomo Beltrami's discoveries were mostly illusory, but he had a glorious time making them, and the people of Minnesota have never forgotten his name.
In the serious story of the exploration of the Mississippi River, there is one unique and preposterous character. He is Giacomo Constantino Beltrami, an Italian of comic-opera proportions. Beltrami was in every way a glorious misfit. He was wayward, unpredictable, and humorous. It was impossible for him to be anything but a charming maverick, and when this dilettante set forth alone to discover the true source of the Mississippi, he did so in a gush of hyperbole.Read more »

Oberheim DPX1
In 1987 Oberheim released the DPX1, a 2-unit rackmount 'Sample Player' during the era of the classic samplers. Its function is to load 3.5" and 5" diskettes containing samples. These samples are loaded into its 1 MB of RAM from which you can play the samples using any MIDI keyboard, controller or sequencer. It was compatible with the E-mu Emulator II, Sequential Prophet 2000, 2002, 2002+, Ensoniq Mirage DSK8/DMS8 and the Akai S900 formats. You can't really edit any of the samples, the DPX1 is simply a load-n-play machine. Its universality among these early samplers makes it great for anyone who may still have old disks of samples but not the samplers that created them. With the DPX1 you can resurrect those samples and use them again, or resample them into a modern sampler. Sounds can also be re-stored in an Oberheim DPX format on to 3.5" disks. A 20MB Hard Disk model was also made available around 1988.
The DPX1 has a very impressionable architecture. That is, it recalls the nuances of you're samples including any processing, looping, filtering and modulations resulting in very accurate reproductions of the samples as they would have sounded through their original Sampler synths. However you can't edit, alter, re-program or create new samples. Ensoniq and E-mu samples come through sounding just like they're being played out of the original synths, if not better. However, the Sequential sounds are not quite as nice when played from the DPX1 and cannot be stacked as they may be in the Prophet. Full MIDI and 4-part multitimbrality equip the DPX1 for easy use in any studio. The DPX1 has limited potential, but if you have the samples (and not the Samplers) this is an economic way to recover and hear those classic samples again.

Thread: In the planning stages...
In the planning stages...
So, I'm planning re-setting up my 5 gal bow front tank. I really love the look of moderately-to-heavily planted tanks, but I don't have the desire or patience to deal with injecting CO2 and lots of ferts, so no high-light, high-maintenance tank for me!
The current overall plan is to set it up with a small number of the plants I want (to save money), and then try to grow them out before even thinking of doing a fishless cycle and adding the animal occupants. I'm planning on a single betta, and some algae-eaters (last time I had ramshorn and trumpet snails for the algae-eaters).
My tank is an Aqueon 5 gallon bow front, bought as a starter kit so it came with a filter. The light is a 10 watt, 6500k flourescent. I forget what the heater was exactly, but I do remember it keeping at a nice low 80s that bettas love. I'm planning on purchasing Eco Complete for the substrate. I'm also thinking of having a terra cotta pot as a centerpiece/fish cave.
As far as potential plants go...
-I love Cryptocorynes, so will likely get some of those.
-Either an Anubias or a Java Fern to go on top of the pot
-Might try to do a Java Moss wall, though it'd likely lead to an asymmetrical look, thanks to to the positioning of the filter, light, and heater. The asymmetrical bit is what might stop me from doing that.
Last time I tried Micro Sword, and while I love the look and wish I could have it, I'm pretty sure my light is too weak for it.
I'm trying to think of what else I could put in there that wouldn't be too much work, and also wouldn't overwhelm the tank. Last time I had an onion plant, and that quickly grew too big for the tank. I'm afraid an Amazon Sword would do the same. I'm also worried about the balance of slow to fast growers. I want plants that will be able to suck up all of the ammonia produced by the animals, but at the same time, my favorites (the crypts and the Anubias) are known for being slow-growers.
I'm also trying to figure out how best to introduce Nitrogen into the tank to encourage them to grow and fill in the tank before I start cycling it for fish.
most plants that help absorb nutrients tend to be fast growers so you will need to prune them occasionally. it really is just a different form of waste removal. instead of taking it out with water changes, you take them out as
plant growth. you still will have to change water though, maybe not as much as without plants, but in the end no one can escape doing water changes. easy, fast growing, nutrient absorbing plants that do not require CO2 include hornwort, pondweed(anacharis/elodea) and floating plants such as frogbit, red root floater and salvinia.
It wasn't so much the pruning as the scale, and not being sure how best to prune the onion plant. One thing I did notice was that the leaves running along the top of the tank provided a nice 'framework' for bubble nests!
Will have to keep an eye out next time I'm at the store, to see if they have either hornwort or elodea. Floating plants won't be such a good idea with the way the hood was designed. The filter is on one side, and the light on the opposite end. The filter current would end up pushing floating plants over to the side where the light is, and then block light from reaching the rest of the tank.
Was poking around, reading threads, and had a thought. What about B. Pennywort, anchored to the bottom?
So, I'm cleaning out my tank, and I have where it's going cleared.
I'm looking at four species of plants for the tank, though only three are pretty much set. Those are: Java Fern, Anubias, Cryptocoryne wendtii. I'm still not sure what to do for the faster-growing background plant. I looked at both hornwort and Anacharis, and I'm not completely sold on either one... From what I've been seeing, hornwort would take the temperatures that my tank will be at, but it looks like any part stuck in the substrate eventually rots off, rather than roots. The Anacharis looks like it would root the way I would like, but it doesn't look like it would do well at the temps my tank will be at.
Would there be any other options for a 5 gallon tank?
Also, how should I best feed the plants until I'm ready for fish? Just add ammonia, as if I were doing a fishless cycle? The Eco Complete already comes seeded with bacteria, and I wouldn't want to lose those.
if you are using eco complete, it is a substrate made for plants and therefore is already full of nutrients, so no additional fertilization is required.
a five gallon is quite small. I am pretty sure that a taller variety of cryptocoryne wendtii could double as a background plant even though it is a mid-ground in normal tanks.
As a matter of fact I have a crypt wendtii "red" that is 18 inches tall. I think that's way taller than a typical 5 gallon is long.
Just another option for a 4th plant. Java moss tied to some root growth driftwood instead of a java moss wall. You would be able to easily trim this with scissors and it grows well in average lighting. There is liquid and pellet type plant food if your worried about starving your new plants due to the tank substrate and water being too clean. But I would just have the lighting on for 6-8 hours (watching for any signs of algae).

Please remember; every keystroke has a consequence.
webpage, it's full of micronutrients, but not the stuff you would normally get from water and livestock. Pulled straight from that page:
Eco-Complete™ Planted will last indefinitely. It won't break down or turn to mud. Eco-Complete™ Planted will supply trace elements that the plant needs but does not supply a fertilizer component ie. N,P or K. You either need to add the fertilizer or have fish in there that you feed regularly.
Oh yes, I had Crypts going pretty high in the tank before, last time it was set up. I'm looking at stems more for their ability to quickly suck up N than anything else. (My goal is for a tank where there are enough plants to keep the nitrate level way down, and thus water changes are more for the nutrient value than because nitrates are getting too high for the fish.)
Okay, I've been doing research on plants for the background. Narrowed down to the plants that might do okay in my tank, and should be easily available.
-Hygrophila difformis
-Needle Leaf Ludwigia (Ludigia arcuata)
Thoughts? Suggestions? Keep in mind: It's a 5 gallon tank that's about 10" to the waterline (including what will be taken up by the substrate), and the light will be a 10watt light. I'll probably have to prune every week (at least) and know that, but I don't want it to look out of place the way the onion plant did the last time I had this tank set up.1. 2. (No Picture)

Cauliflower with Bacon and Mushrooms
(Makes about 4 servings, adapted from Vegetable Love)
4 slices pre-cooked bacon (or use regular bacon, but it will be higher in fat)
1 T butter (or olive oil)
small head cauliflower, cut into small bite-size pieces
8 oz. mushrooms, cut in half, then into thick slices
1/2 red onion, diced into small pieces
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper to taste
Add butter or olive oil, heat for 1 minute, then add cauliflower and mushrooms and cook over very high heat, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes. Add onions and cook about 2 minutes more, or until veggies seem nearly done and are starting to brown a bit.
Add bacon and parsley and cook 2-3 minutes more. Add 1/4 cup water, then scrape pan to get browned bits off and cook until water has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper and serve hot.

Jury selected for abuse case trial
Opening statements expected Tuesday
MADISON, Wis. - A trial is set to begin for a Madison man accused of starving and torturing his teenage daughter.
Chad Chritton and his wife, Melinda Drabek-Chritton, are accused of locking the girl in the basement and denying her food until she wasted away to 68 pounds.
They each face six felonies, including child abuse and neglect. The girl's stepbrother has been accused of sexually assaulting her.
The girl told police the couple had kept her confined to the basement of their Treichel Street home since 2006 and that they beat her, starved her and forced her to eat feces.
The victim was 15 years old when a driver spotted her wandering barefoot in pajamas outside near her home on Madison's southeast side and called police. The driver said the teen was so scrawny, he mistook her for an 8-year-old.
Opening statements are in the father's trial are expected to begin Monday or Tuesday. A jury was selected on Monday.
Former Madison Police Department captain Ellen Schwartz now lends her experience to the board of directors for the Rainbow Project. The nonprofit provides support for victims and families who experience trauma and abuse.19065894
"Regardless of what happened, the fact of the matter is that child abuse happens all of the time," Schwartz said.
The victim in this case, referred to in court as S.L.C., will testify in the trials against her parents. Schwartz said that's an incredible burden for any child to bear.
"I understand that in a trial situation, that the accused have a right to confront the accuser, but it's going to be very, very -- I can't imagine how difficult," Schwartz said. "And the thought of people telling her that she, that her testimony could put her parents in prison, that's not her fault."
Schwartz said throughout the high-profile case, she hopes people will realize child abuse is happening in a number of homes.
"Their cases may not be quite as sensational, but it's just as life-impacting for them, just as future-impacting for them," Schwartz said.
According to Schwartz, Dane County Department of Human Services received more than 6,000 child abuse reports last year. There were more than 38,000 reports statewide.
"It could be happening next door, and if you think that you see it happening, report it," Schwartz said.
Schwartz currently works as a child sexual abuse advocate in Green County.

Gynecologic Oncology
In an effort to provide the best possible care to oncology patients, their families and caregivers, the section of Gynecologic Oncology, along with the sections of Hematology Oncology, Surgical Oncology, and the National Ovarian Cancer Early Detection Program (NOCEDP) have joined forces with the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University. Today, the Lurie Cancer Center is one of two Comprehensive Cancer Centers in Illinois designated by the National Cancer Institute.
The Lurie Cancer Center provides a full range of oncology services and provides access to specialized research, clinical trials and diagnostic services. It is the only Comprehensive Cancer Center, as designated by the National Cancer Institute, in the state of Illinois.
Gynecologic Oncology provides diagnosis and treatment of tumors and cancers of the female reproductive system, as well as follow-up for abnormal Pap tests.
Prentice Women's Hospital provides diagnosis and treatment for the following:
At Prentice, we know how important it is to practice personalized medicine and to treat the whole patient, which in part means offering:
A Treatment Philosophy that Focuses on You
Our treatment philosophy embraces caring for the whole patient—body, mind and spirit. Winning this battle, by preventing and curing women's cancer, is something we work toward every day. We believe that every woman faced with gynecologic cancer should survive with her hopes and dreams intact.
For most cancers that afflict women, it is imperative that women are diagnosed as early as possible, so diagnostic procedures and doctors skilled at diagnosis are of the utmost importance.
How Our Care is Different
Many studies have shown that rare conditions and cancers are best treated by specialists who care for women with these conditions regularly. Our gynecologic oncologists are experts in diagnosing and treating gynecologic cancers, and we have years of experience leading gynecologic cancer programs.
We also participate in many clinical trials that help us learn more about women's cancer and how to best treat them.
If you come to Northwestern Medicine to be treated for cancer, we will work with you to find a treatment plan that works for you. We understand that every woman is different, and we will respect your desire to include personal elements in your care plan, such as:
As we move toward a cure for cancer, we do what we can with what we know today.
Preserving Fertility
When women of childbearing age are diagnosed with cancer, many are concerned about losing the ability to have children. Fortunately, we are able to preserve fertility with some female cancers. Visit MyOncofertility.org for more information about preserving fertility.

Beach dream is the symbolic achievement of the goal. Usually, it refers to dreams in which shore is visible from the sea, rivers, ocean. Even better if you made it to the shore — it means that you can achieve prosperity, success, profits and so on. What you are currently in reality — will be successfully completed in your favour.
If you dream you walked, walked, walked along the river, the sea, any body of water, the dream indicates uncertainty in the actions. Often walk along the shore means that the people are at a crossroads. If you meet this dream man, the dream will show you who is the object of your desires and thoughts.
To sail from the shore — then to gather in a journey, both literally and figuratively. So you can see the significant changes the possibility to change lives, to change it.
Relax on the shore of the reservoir (any)- to a happy life. There is a view of the personal life of a dreamer. The shore of the lake or pond is an indication of happiness in the home and family.
If you dream you are standing on the beach and look to sea, river and so on, the dream may indicate your intention to take a decision against someone. In this dream, you can immediately see whether the decision is correct.
The river is the border separating the worlds, States, life. The boundary between your space and others. Obstacles, if you dream you are unable to enter the river or exit.
Cross the river (or any other body of water) from one coast to the other means that you completely change your life. Here for a better understanding of relevant allegory: «to leave one shore and approaching in a different way.»
Beach, sandy beach almost always indicates a time or period of rest, relaxation, and sometimes indicates «retirement».
Boat on the beach means opportunities. But the two symbols for shared understanding to be interpreted as a symbiosis, that is, to take into account the specific characteristics of both.

Uh oh, it appears I don't have anything important to make fun of — I was really counting on a member of Aerosmith's dying right before my deadline or something, but no such luck. Let's mine the press-release pile for some fresh squareness:
Mary J. Blige shatters prestige-fragrance recordsWe know Mary J. Blige sings her heart out and triumphs over adversity and stuff, but that's old news — in 2010, she's killing it in the prestige-fragrance game. Her autobiographical scent, "My Life," debuted July 31 on the Home Shopping Network and sold 60,000 units in the first six hours — if I'm doing my math right, that's 60,000 units per six hours!
"We were thrilled that Mary's inspiring story, her character, and, ultimately, her fragrance drew such an enthusiastic response," said HSN's CEO. That's why Mary's such a role model — a lot of people have been through depression and addiction, but how many of them have come out the other side with a truly laudable odor? I haven't been through half as much shit as Mary has, and I can't remember the last time my personal aroma drew an "enthusiastic response."
I guess that's why her perfume is so inspiring: one whiff of its pungent bouquet and we're right there in her world. "Consumers want to connect, believe, and immerse themselves in the experience. They want to see themselves fit into the story," said some business dude. "Mary delivered herself in the purest form outside of her lyrics." When it comes to pure forms of expression, you wouldn't think a fragrance could trump Mary J. Blige's soulful vocals, but now they've been bumped down to third place, behind words and smell.
HarperCollins acquires Justin Bieber's official illustrated memoirPerfect! My coffee table has been looking pretty bare ever since I destroyed my Robert Mapplethorpe volume in a fit of erotic rage:
"HarperCollins announced today the acquisition of the official illustrated memoir from multi-platinum-selling superstar Justin Bieber. JUSTIN BIEBER: FIRST STEP 2 FOREVER: MY STORY will reveal Justin's amazing journey to superstardom."
The press release goes on to summarize Bieber's entire amazing journey to superstardom. That's good for about two paragraphs — they can probably milk it for six pages or so if they really fuck with the kerning.
Sears celebrates style & music with the introduction of Now + HereI guess Sears is still trying to shake its image as a purveyor of tractor parts and gingham dresses, because the folks there are getting super balls-to-the-wall fresh to death in this press release. If you thought they weren't hep to the youth jive, think again:
"Just in time for the back-to-school shopping season, Sears is opening Now + Here, a fast fashion destination for juniors and young men. The new fashion destinations will feature the must-have trends for fall that young shoppers want like Battle Gear, Girly Grunge, Biker Chic, and Sweet Dreams."
I guess the tragic thing about being a Sears executive is that you just have no idea — you have to trust some PR firm to tell you what the hip new trends are (Battle Gear?), because how the hell are you going to figure out what's cool? You're 105 years old, and you just want to sell overalls and calf-birthing apparatus to ranchers, but that's not how business works anymore.

PTC Libraries Teaching Philosophy
Establishing connections between Pulaski Technical College students, faculty, and staff and their information needs is vital to building and maintaining an academic community. PTC Libraries staff connects individuals with information on a personal level. We believe teaching can occur anywhere at any time. Therefore, we are approachable and available so students may feel comfortable asking questions in all settings. We believe that by teaching individuals to effectively access, critically evaluate, and ethically use information we can help promote their future success and support the mission of the College. With each interaction, we strive to create a lasting connection to information for the individual and to build a strong foundation of skills that are necessary for his or her employment success and lifelong learning. Our philosophy and methods enable us to establish personal connections with our students, which in turn may lead to a stronger connection between students, information, and the Pulaski Technical College community.

Is there a way to have a half-dozen audio output devices (USB audio devices can be cheap) and configure to which output device the sound from various applications should go? I've only seen interfaces for configuring where to direct all sound from a computer. Background music could go to one device, TV audio to the TV which is displaying the TV stream, system alerts to another speaker. The original poster would need to be able to direct the output from several media player instances to corresponding audio devices.

Shared OPML, and dektop rss reader productivity
Off late i've been adding a lot more blogs from media/ blogosphere (techcrunch 'ish blogs, company blogs , and so on ) apart from the developer blogs that i cherish the most . One of the categories that i have been having a close watch and building on are indian developers who are being there and doing that ; ) You'll most of the individuals mentioned in my post about indian hacker's in the opml file as well . Ofcourse, most of the list are people I would personally know or like to know but as a technology / web geek i think that sharing this list would really help introduce you to a lot of really good blogs.
I'm also surprised why there is'nt any viral site for sharing rss reader opml files ?!(or is it just my ignorance!). So i'm going to upload my opml files once a quarter so that it might be useful to other hackers, entrepreneurs and technology watchers like me .
And here's for an awesome tip . Sure it wont be easy reading up on 1000+ , i'd prefer to take my time and read most of them . (especially if u skip a day or two ! ) SO what i've done is what i think a more leisurely way to read my favourite blogs without the clutter and time constraints .
Here's what i did two days back :
I installed a desktop rss reader on my laptop. I imported my google reader opml . Once a day i go online and let it autoupdate . Finito ! now i can take my time, change the themes ,font's ,add rating ,see my reading statistics, custom tags, searches ,bookmarks, even blog from it, and more importantly - take my time to read all the 1000+ feed items ,as and when i want.
step 1: exported my google opml file.
im guessing that you are familiar with rss readers, and blogs and rss . If you use a bloglines or a google reader there should be a export subscription /export feeds / export as opml option somewhere. save the file on your system. Here are my google reader opml files.
step 2: downloaded a desktop rss reader
I expected a little more from google readers offline operation that used google gears. sadly though it just did'nt work . Moving on, i looked around for a couple of desktop rss readers. ended up on just installin one though called blogbridge . FYI : a nice link that higlights 9 reasons to use desktop readers, and here's another one that tells you how to make your own desktop rss reader. i then imported the opml file, and can choose as to when it should update (either on program startup or when i say to get updates )
i still like to still to maintain / add feeds ,etc to my online rss reader(google reader) since i can access them when im not on either my machine or the laptop. another hassle is that after reading posts from the desktop reader- they wont be 'marked as read' ,but i still think that the move has let me catch up with the 'posts that i always wanted to take time to read' and the 'blogs i never had time to read and so on' ,and all this offline . I think it's worth it thinking /trying it out.

Found and bought Trailbreaker and Orion tonight.
What incarnation of Orion Pax is this supposed to be? Haven't opened him yet, but he doesn't look exactly like any Orion I can remember; sort of a cross between the Sunbow character and the IDW character. And his bio is definitely Optronix from Dreamwave. Weird.
