Death of a Mall
AnnaLisa is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
If you thought the house on the hill in 'Psycho' was creepy you should visit a dead mall. There's one near me with only two stores open in the 600,000 sq. ft. facility. Located on a busy thoroughfare locally called, 'The Golden Mile' where making a left turn can take two full songs on the radio it should have been thriving. Instead, it's an object lesson in the importance of good anchor stores.
Last time I visited there was one department store left, a Hallmark and two 'popup stores'. One looked like a hoarder was throwing an indoor yard sale and the other was a Girl Scout troop used book sale fundraiser. In the middle of the day, this mall is hushed and actually menacing. Stephen King or those college kids who made 'The Blair Witch Project' would have a field day.
This was once a mall where the President did his Christmas shopping en route to Camp David. Forty years ago it was a high-concept enclosed mall, busy and buzzing, until just a few years ago when its second anchor, Bon-Ton, left.
Mere miles away its main competition has a 95% occupancy rate with three anchor stores and 77 other specialty stores. It's not a high-end mall with Apple, Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL) stores or a Nordstrom, Inc (NYSE: JWN) but it's bustling. And what is holding it together? In a word, Macy's Inc (NYSE: M). A mall has to have a performing anchor, the big shoulders that can carry the small retail specialty shops.
The September 17 issue of Time Magazine also mentioned several other valuable stores that malls seek to anchor or attract shoppers like the Holy Grail of retail, an Apple store, which increases mall profits by $12 a square foot. Consider the average mall is over 700,000 feet and you're talking millions per year. An Apple store is maybe the size of the Macy's cosmetics section but as Apple is the most successful retailer ever and this is not hyperbole, Apple stores generate more profit per square foot than any other retailer.
Having a prosperous anchor is practically a public service because you can go to a site like deadmalls.com and look up a hundred or so malls that are barely on life support and realize that thousands of jobs are gone forever. A strong anchor or two can help the smaller shops weather recessionary trends and keep employees.
Macy's was exactly what was needed to ring the death knell for the competing mall. While Bon-Ton was there that mall had a chance but Bon-Ton was still competing with Macy's across town. Could the two stores have competed for long? How do they compare as stocks? And what about Nordstrom?
Macy's is a Monster
Macy's is just dollars away from its 52 week high of $42.17. Macy's, of course, is much bigger and better known than Bon-Ton. Macy's was founded in 1820 and operates 840 Macy's and Bloomingdale's stores and 7 Bloomingdale's outlets as well as two ecommerce sites, macys.com and bloomingdales.com. Macy's has 171,000 employees. That's a lot of jobs.
You know of the Macy's Thanksgiving parade, Miracle on 34th Street, even Auntie Mame worked at Macy's. It's part of the American cultural landscape. It's up 57.75% over 52 weeks. It has a P/E of 12.56 lower than the industry average of 21.22. Plus, it has a yield of 2% at a sustainable payout rate of 19%.
Capable CEO Terry Lundgren is the 'anchor' CEO of Macy's and owns 399,619 shares and has been working in retail since college days. Institutions like Macy's as well and own 90.60% of the float. Its debt ratio is 1.52.
Why is Bon-Ton Rising From the Dead
The Bon-Ton Stores (NASDAQ: BONT) rose 10% intraday on September 11 for a 52 week high and has risen from $9.70 to $14.39 (intraday) in only five trading days. This humongous move started on September 5 when KeyBanc analyst Kevin Yruma upgraded the stock to buy citing the turnaround strategies of new CEO Brendan Hoffman. Hoffman executed the revival of moribund Lord & Taylor and is already seeing some success with Bon-Ton. August comps were up 2.2%.
Bon-Ton still has a negative EPS of $1.62 but has a yield of 1.60%. Bon-Ton operates 272 stores in 23 states, mostly in the Northeast, Midwest and upper Great Plains. The company was founded in 1898. As well as the Bon-Ton Stores they also own the Elder-Beerman, Carson Pirie Scott and Parisian stores.
Bon-Ton had been languishing for years but CEO Hoffman is trying some strategies that have worked well for Macy's: emphasizing cosmetics and footwear and promoting with coupons, coupons, coupons. Hoffman also eliminated the Chief Operating Officer position. He admitted the company had tried to attract younger shoppers only to alienate their older loyal customer base and said that strategy will change to try to embrace both kinds of shoppers.
The company lowered guidance in August and cited that Q2 disappointment was due to off-price sales to bring in traffic. It reports again on November 15.
Shorts will probably renew their pressure on this name after this spectacular price rise. In mid-August the short share of the float was already 47.80%. After moving from a 52 week low of $2.23 to over $14.00 on Tuesday, upside is likely limited for the short term.
As for Nordstrom, it's a wonderful retailer, very classy and just about at a 52 week high. It has its outlet Nordstrom rack stores and has a 1.90% yield Nordstrom's P/E is a little higher at 18.30 than Macy's but still under that industry average. Nordstrom is a very good tenant for a high-end mall but Macy's has the Bloomingdale's and the regular Macy's department stores and has more breadth and reach than Nordstrom. Surprisingly, Nordstrom has fewer stores than Bon-Ton with only 231 stores of which 110 are the outlet Rack stores. That said, there's no better customer service or better place to find the most fashionable ladies' shoes. Yes, we all know how the ladies love their shoes.
I'm sure you can guess that I'm going to recommend Macy's as the best choice. A five day move like Bon-Ton has seen is extremely unstable for the stock price of a company with a huge debt ratio and negative EPS. Bon–Ton CEO Hoffman is going to need time to make the turnaround pay off. Macy's is already the 'strong shoulders' that malls want and need.

Hire a UNC Ph.D.
Our graduate students have extraordinary records of accomplishment and promise. Training at UNC is comparable to that at the nation's top PhD programs and we are proud to bring your attention to these students entering the academic job market in Fall 2012.
For more information about any of our students, please see their individual web sites as listed below or contact Professor Frank Baumgartner (www.unc.edu/~fbaum; email@example.com), Interim Placement Director or Ms. Chris Reynolds, Graduate Studies Coordinator.
American Politics
Mary Layton ("Mel") Atkinson. American / Methodology. Thesis: The Influence of Partisan Conflict on Policy Attitudes (Baumgartner, Stimson, MacKuen). The central question is: "To what degree are policy attitudes shaped by aversion to the partisan conflict inherent in the process of lawmaking versus the substance of the proposed legislation?" I find that the public responds more negatively to policies associated with partisan conflict, even when controlling for factors related to the substance of the bill and to individual's underlying policy attitudes. Status: PhD expected December 2012. Publications: Papers currently under review at Political Behavior, AJPS, and Political Communication. Published book chapter, 2009. Teaching Interests: American government, agenda-setting, political communication, political behavior, the policymaking process, civil rights and liberties, social policy, research design, OLS, using text as data. Email: email@example.com; Web: http://www.unc.edu/~mlatkins/.
Kevin Banda. American / Methodology. Thesis: Candidate Strategy and Assessment During Election Campaigns (Carsey, MacKuen, Stimson). I examine the formation and consequences of candidates' issue agendas, and show that these influence the criteria citizens use when deciding who they will vote for on election day. In my first empirical chapter, I use a dynamic test to demonstrate that candidates respond to each other's issue agendas by increasing their own attention to the sets of issues emphasized by their opponents. I show in my second chapter that citizens alter their attitudes about candidates in response to both the issues they talk about and the positions they may take. Last, I find in my third chapter that citizens form attitudes about both the target and the sponsor of negative messages in response to the information contained in the messages. Status: ABD (dissertation defense scheduled for January 2013, Ph.D. to be awarded in May 2013). Publications: Invitations to revise and resubmit to State Politics & Policy Quarterly, Political Communication, and Politics, Groups, and Identities. Teaching Interests: Intro to American, State and Local Politics, Campaigns and Elections, Public Opinion, Political Behavior, Political Communication, Political Parties, Undergrad Methods, Linear Models, GLM, Probability, Time Series, Experimental Design. Email: email@example.com, Web: http://kbanda.web.unc.edu.
K. Elizabeth Coggins. American / Methodology. Thesis: The Liberal Identity (Stimson, Baumgartner, Conover, McGuire, Aldrich). The thesis explains the modern-day dearth of liberal identifiers in the U.S. First, I propose a theory of ideological identification formation at the individual level. I rely on intrinsic psychological characteristics and environmental factors (e.g., historical events and media coverage) to build an understanding of how these identities are realized. Then, with new survey items from the CCES, I demonstrate the importance of the non-political symbols and groups that individuals tie to the terms "liberal and "conservative." I then explore the particular period in history (the mid-1960s) when the largest shift in ideological identification occurred and explain how and why large-scale shifts are influenced by environmental forces. Finally, using content analysis of a handful of political issues that together span the past 50 years, I demonstrate that the legacy of liberal's unpopularity lives on in both media coverage and elite rhetoric. Together, these findings help build a systematic understanding of liberal identification in the U.S. This thesis relates to mass behavior, ideological identification, public opinion, and framing. Status: Ph.D. expected Spring 2013. Publications: Washington University Law Journal 2009, others under review. Teaching Interests: Intro to American Politics, Mass Behavior, Political Psychology, Media and Politics, Judicial Politics, Race and Politics, Research Design, Statistics, Regression, Time Series. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com; Web: www.unc.edu/~cogginse
Ellen Gutman. American / Methodology. Thesis: Normal Winners: Campaign Strategies of Strong Candidates (Stimson, MacKuen, Gray). There is much research about the campaigns of challengers for elected office but little research about the strategies of strong candidates. By looking at websites, advertisements, and campaign spending by congressional and gubernatorial candidates, I demonstrate that expected winners act differently than expected losers or candidates in close races. They emphasize personal information such as pictures/stories about their families; discuss valence issues such as supporting education and opposing crime but not position issues such as specific reforms to Social Security; and they distance themselves from other politicians by not speaking about their opponents, the president, or any others. This thesis relates to campaign strategies, congressional politics, state politics, and electoral politics more generally. Status: Ph.D. expected Spring 2013. Teaching Interests: American Politics, State and Local Politics, Campaigns and Elections, Public Opinion, Congress, Research Methods. Email: email@example.com.
Jonathan Kropko. Methodology / American. Currently a postdoc at the Applied Statistics Center at Columbia University (supervisors: Andrew Gelman and Jennifer Hill). Part of the team that is writing the MI package for R, and collaborating on several projects using this software. Lead-author of a large scale simulation study to compare different algorithms for multiple imputation, which is a treatment to account for missing records in large datasets. Thesis: New Approaches to Discrete Choice and Time Series Cross Section Methodology for Political Research. (Rabinowitz, Aldrich, Carsey, Cranmer, Gross, Mackuen). Chapter 1 examines the relative validity of multinomial logit and probit models as the independence of irrelevant alternatives assumption is increasingly incorrect; chapter 2 designs a new estimator for time-series cross-section data that allows cross-sectional comparisons at particular points in time, applied to state-level US presidential voting; chapter 3 designs a non-linear model to assess how personal importance moderates the effect of issue distance on candidate evaluation. Status: PhD, 2011. Teaching interests: maximum likelihood, time series, missing data methods, American government, voting behavior in American and comparative contexts. Email: email@example.com; Web: http://www.unc.edu/~kropko.
Comparative Politics
Russell Bither-Terry. Comparative (Latin America) / Methodology / Latin American History. Thesis: Fome Zero: The Politics of anti-Hunger Policy in Brazil (Huber, Schoultz, Stephens). Thesis provides evidence from elite interviews and government documents that Brazil adopted the conditional cash transfer Bolsa Família as its primary anti-hunger program because it was a simple, direct, and rapid way to increase the ability of the poor to buy food. It analyzes micro-data from national household surveys to argue that the number of people brought completely out of poverty by Bolsa Família is smaller than is commonly assumed, but that the program achieved an impressive reduction in the severity of poverty, which explains its political salience, and that this reduction in the severity of poverty led to success in the original goal of reducing hunger. Status: PhD expected Spring 2013. Publications: Canadian Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Studies, forthcoming. Teaching Interests: Intro to Comparative, Latin American Politics, European Politics, Comparative Welfare States, U.S.-Latin American Relations, Intro to Statistics, Politics of Food. Email: email@example.com; Web: http://rbt.web.unc.edu/.
Besir Ceka. Comparative Politics / International Relations. Thesis: Causes and Consequences of Political Trust (Vachudova, Hooghe, Marks). I study the causes and consequences of political trust in European states. Using over three hundred public opinion surveys from a number of sources, I show that the intensity of political competition and the extent to which opposition parties criticize and expose the misdeeds of the government has a significant negative effect on trust in political institutions and satisfaction with democracy. I also find that dissatisfied citizens are more likely to support unorthodox (i.e. anti-establishment) parties. Status: PhD expected Spring 2013. Publications: Comparative Political Studies, forthcoming; Oxford University Press co-authored book under contract. Teaching Interests: Introduction to Comparative Politics, European Integration, International Organizations and Global Issues, Eastern and Western European Politics, American Politics. Email: email@example.com. Web: http://www.unc.edu/~bceka/Welcome.html.
Sarah Shair-Rosenfield. Comparative / IR. Currently a Post-Doctoral Fellow at Arizona State University. Thesis: Electoral Reform, Party System Evolution and Democracy in Contemporary Indonesia (Hartlyn, Liddle (Ohio State), Marks, Reynolds, Robertson). This dissertation examines the links between electoral reform and political party system development in new democracies where iterated reforms are increasingly common, requiring an understanding of their causes and short-term consequences. I assess the effects of time and alternative motivations on reform adoptions and subsequent party system outcomes by combining a large-N analysis based on an original dataset 34 cases of electoral reform from 1950 to 2010 with a case study of Indonesia based on in-depth interviews with key reform actors, archival research, and an analysis of election outcomes from 1999-2009. I show that political elites in iterated reform processes, particularly in new democracies, suffer from constraints on their seat-maximization strategies that single-event reformers do not face. Status: Ph.D. 2012. Publications: Electoral Studies (2012), Inside Indonesia (2011), Oxford University Press co-authored book under contract. Teaching Interests: comparative politics, party politics, women and politics, democratization, politics of Southeast Asia, politics China, decentralization and federalism. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com; Web: http://www.public.asu.edu/~sshairro/.
Heather Sullivan. Comparative Politics / IR. Thesis: Managing Dissent: State Capacity, Democracy, and Responses to Protest in Mexico (Huber, Robertson, Schoultz, Hartlyn, Martinez-Gallardo). The thesis argues that state capacity, as opposed to democracy, reduces the likelihood that protest events will be met with repression. Using an original dataset on responses to protest in Mexico, I explore the ways that state capacity, regime type, and event-level characteristics affect protest and response. The thesis contributes to our understanding of contentious politics, political violence, democracy and authoritarianism, state capacity, Latin American politics, and subnational politics. Status: PhD expected May 2013. Publications: one article under review. Teaching Interests: Comparative Politics, Latin American Politics, Contentious Politics and Democratization, Political Violence. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com; Web: http://hsullivan.web.unc.edu.
International Relations
William Kindred Winecoff. International Relations / Methodology. Thesis: The Politics of Crisis and Reform: Firms and Governments in the Global Financial System (Oatley, Mosley, Munger, Bapat, Cranmer). The central question is: "How does the structure of the global financial system influence the behaviors of firms and governments?" Using mixed methodologies across multiple levels of analysis, I argue that the topology of the global financial system, as well as complex network dynamics, has a large effect on governments' policies related to finance and regulation, and to firms' investment behaviors. Status: PhD expected May 2013. Publications: Edited book under contract at Edward Elgar. Papers forthcoming at Perspectives on Politics, revise and resubmit at International Studies Quarterly, and under review. Several book chapters either published or under contract. Teaching Interests: International relations, international political economy, political economy, the politics of finance, economic statecraft, socio-political network analysis, Bayesian regression, ordinary least squares regression, maximum likelihood estimation of generalized linear models. Email: email@example.com; Web: http://wkwine.web.unc.edu.
Political Theory
Carl Najdek. Theory / American. Thesis: Identity, Democracy, and Cosmopolitanism in Walt Whitman's Political Thought. (Lienesch, Leonard, Bickford, Spinner-Halev, McGowan) The thesis describes Walt Whitman's democratic thought on the relationship between individuals and the communities in which they live, the idea of the modern democratic nation, and finally the role of the United States in an increasingly industrialized and globalized world. By looking at these three concepts, I consider Whitman as more than just a poet with political concerns but rather as a serious thinker whose thought transcended his time and envisioned a political system at once transformed by changes in industry and technology and united through a shared democratic culture. This thesis relates to American political thought, American political culture, democratic theory, literature and politics, and political theory more generally. Status: ABD (Projected defense in April 2013). Publications: American Political Thought (Revise and Resubmit). Courses Taught: Introduction to Political Theory, Ancient Political Thought, Modern Political Thought, American National Government (Online and in-person), Political Theory of Revolution and Terror, Evolution of Empires, Popular Culture and Political Theory. Interested in Teaching: American Political Thought, State and Local Politics, American Legislature, Literature and Politics, Medieval Political Thought, Democratic Theory. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Web: http://cnajdek.web.unc.edu/
Joel Winkelman. Theory / American. Thesis: A Working Democracy (Lienesch, Bickford, Spinner-Halev). The thesis argues that work is central to democratic life, both in theory and in practice. Through an analysis of three of the most important American democratic thinkers, I demonstrate that work was the central political concept in the arguments of democratic thinkers who sought to create institutions that protected individual interests and public goods. The thesis relates to American political thought, American political development, democratic theory, and political theory more generally. Status: PhD, 2012. Publications: Polity (2012). Teaching: Intro to Political Theory, American Political Thought, Modern Political Thought, Classical Political Thought, Feminist Political Thought. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com; Web: http://jmwink.web.unc.edu.

see also Multi-Level Marketing. A scheme in which a person (as a "seller") buys a certain amount of product from a "distributor", and then sells for a profit. The seller must then kick back some of his profit to his distributor. In turn all the other sellers this person has recruited and distributes product to must kick back some of their profits to him.
Amway is the prototypical MLM. Usually only the founders of a MLM profit from the scheme. Some MLM's are blatant pyramid schemes, although one can argue all MLM's are fraudulent. Look for MLM ads in bus shelters and on telephone poles at intersections. I just blew my inheritance from Grandma on this Flowbee MLM!

The computer abbreviation for giving someone "the bird." Most commonly used in Instant Messaging services. IMer #1: Dude, you're an ass.

Abbreviation for Multi-Level Marketing, a business model in which marketers are paid commissions on the sales of other marketers that they recruit, as well as on their own sales. To qualify as MLM, the business plan must actually focus upon selling a marketable product or service. Business and marketing n00bs frequently confuse MLM with pyramid schemes, a business model that focuses on paying bonuses for recruiting people, rather than commissions on sales, because the criminals who start pyramid schemes like to scam n00bs and flatter themselves by calling their schemes MLM. They may even pretend to operate an MLM business by forcing marketers to stockpile unmarketable products to pretend they are selling it.
Anyone who calls a pyramid scheme MLM helps the scammers trick their victims. |
acronym for Middle Lane Moron: a driver who does not keep to the inside lane unless overtaking on a multi-lane highway, in countries where this rule applies (mostly used in the uk), sticking religiously to the middle lane instead. MLM's cause frustration or even road rage to other drivers who are driving faster (for typical MLM's, this is most drivers), as passing them requires superfluous lane changes and inefficient use of the road (passing on an inside lane, or 'undertaking', is illegal), causing congestion. Also known as members of the MLOC (middle lane owner's club). Related - and even worse - are OLM's (outside lane morons), who stick to the outside lane, as legally passing is impossible. forum member #1: What driving habit annoys you the most?

7euro per day per person for the breakfast, think a little expensive, but on the other hand the breakfast is buffet, the wifi in this hotel is so fantastic, recommand it if you cant living without internet Yuchen, from China ~ 4th May 2013
Nice location, single rooms are very small and relatively expensive. Breakfast for 7e, it's also expensive but you can eat many things unlimited. Octoberfest and Hauptbahnhof is very close. I can recommend, but probably you can find a cheaper hostel with the same quality of services. Attila, from Hungary ~ 7th Nov 2012

OUR VIEW: RTJ Trail a boon for Alabama
Published: Tuesday, May 29, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 29, 2012 at 6:49 p.m.
Retirement Systems of Alabama has taken some criticism lately over the lackluster performance of its investments, but that didn't diminish the celebration RSA threw last week in Birmingham to mark the 20th birthday of its Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail.
The trail was conceived with three goals, according to RSA chief David Bronner. He believes it reached the mark in helping draw tourists, attract industry and as an investment. He credits the trail as being partly responsible for the state being able to recruit industries such as Mercedes, Honda and Hyundai among others. He also says a report on the trail's investment value to be released in coming weeks will be "very positive" while acknowledging it's a little harder to calculate than a standard investment.
The latter two goals may be a little harder to quantify, but there's no question the 11-site, 26-course trail has drawn tourists from all over to Alabama. Evidence of that is obvious to anyone who drives through the parking lot of Silver Lakes Golf Course or any of the other RTJ trail courses. It's hard to not find an out-of-state license plate just about anytime the courses are open. Much of the credit for that has to be attributed to the fact that RSA controls a variety of media outlets, both broadcast and print, and has relentlessly used them to promote the trail. Bronner says that will continue for as long as he has anything to say about it.
RTJ courses span the state from Muscle Shoals to the Gulf Coast. They have hosted multiple professional events and received repeated acclaims from publications inside and out of the golfing industry. Efforts by other states to mimic the success of the trail have fallen far short.
When the trail was launched in the early 1990s, Alabama was still battling a negative image left from the days of civil strife over integration. It needed positive publicity then and given the black eye it now has, at least in some quarters, because of its harsh immigration law, it still does. The golf trail is one way it can get it, and we salute Bronner for his vision in creating it.

Maybe you've seen the Fair Trade logo and wondered "What's that about?" You know what Certified Organic means, and you know what Made in the USA means, but what is Fair Trade exactly?
For items that are produced in the United States, the consumer can pretty much rest assure that the workers were paid and treated fairly. We have laws to ensure that. However, when so many of our goods come from other countries, how do we know it wasn't produced by child labor or under horrible conditions? We don't unless the producers and brokers in these countries agree to follow certain guidelines. That's where Fair Trade comes in.
Fair Trade began in the 1940s when a few small North American and European organizations reached out to poverty stricken communities to help them sell their handicrafts to well-off markets. Today, Fair Trade is a global effort.
Fair Trade standards are designed to tackle poverty and empower producers in the poorest countries in the world. The standards apply to both producers and traders. The standards and principles of Fair Trade are: fair pay for labor, protection from child exploitation, concern for the environment, long-term relationships between artisans and buyers, reasonable working conditions, equal opportunity for women, and respect for cultural identity.
Globalization makes Fair Trade more important than ever. Small producers in faraway countries deserve a voice in an open market that treats them with respect. In today's world economy, where profits rule and small-scale producers are left out of the bargaining process, Fair Trade helps exploited producers escape from this cycle and gives them a way to maintain their traditional lifestyles with dignity.
Fuquay-Varina United Methodist Church will host its 5th annual Fair Trade Store on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 26-27, from 8 am – 8 pm in rooms 117/119. The Fair Trade Store is an opportunity to purchase items made by artisans around the world who are part of a Fair Trade business paradigm. This is not a fundraiser but an awareness-raiser through One World Market, a non-profit store dedicated to the mission of Fair Trade.
All are invited to the Fair Trade Store Oct. 26-27 in rooms 117-119 from 8 am – 8 pm. Fuquay-Varina United Methodist Church, 100 S. Judd Parkway SE, Fuquay-Varina, 919-552-4331.

Wood Fence Designs: Picket Fences
Want A Pretty Fence? Choose A Picket Fence
Of the many wood fence designs that are available to choose from, one of the prettiest is a picket fence. It is a style of wood fence that is particularly suitable for a cottage style home and garden and it has many advantages.
To begin with it is quite low in height, so if the fence design you are looking for is a privacy fence design it is not the right one for you, but it does allow the sun and the light through so it is good for plants and flowers. It is a romantic looking fence design and evocative of the typical English country garden, especially when it is a white picket fence and has a little wood fence gate.
You need to know how to build a fence and a picket fence is constructed in a particular way. Supporting fence posts, which can have a shaped top to match the pickets, are fixed into the ground at quite large intervals and the 'pickets', upright pieces of wood, are held parallel with horizontal bars at the top and also at the bottom. The pickets can be quite plain or have a shaped top and there are many different picket fence designs depending on individual taste. They can be of varying heights – also within an individual fence if it is custom made – and it is possible to make the fence so that it will look the same from both sides.
While a wood picket fence is the traditional way of making these particular wood fence designs it is not the only option. Vinyl fencing has become popular and widespread and it has a lot going for it. It does not need to be looked after in the same way as it is impervious to the weather; it does not need annual painting and it is less likely to rot. Unless you get up quite close to them it is difficult to tell the difference between a wood picket fence and a vinyl fence.

A measure to help develop a wind project off the coast of Ocean City by requiring electricity suppliers to buy offshore renewable energy credits passed the Maryland Senate on Friday.
The measure that passed 30-15 has been a priority for Gov. Martin O'Malley, who pushed unsuccessfully for the bill for two years before finally finding success with a scaled-back proposal. The bill was already passed this session by the House of Delegates, which will only have to sign off on several small changes the Senate made before sending it off to O'Malley to sign.
The Democratic governor has noted challenges clearly remain to get the project off the ground. Still, he has expressed confidence the measure will put Maryland on track to partner with neighboring states to lead an offshore wind project off the East Coast.
"It's an affirmative step by the Legislature, so it allows us to go out and look for the art of the deal that will get these things built," O'Malley said in a brief interview after the Senate vote.
All the supporting votes came from Democrats. Three Democrats joined 12 Republicans in opposing the bill.
Environmental groups cheered the vote. Mike Tidwell, executive director of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, described it as a significant victory for clean energy.
"This bill is to offshore wind power in the Mid-Atlantic what the early railroads were to American transportation," Tidwell said in a statement. "It's a driver of innovation that will create jobs, enhance our economy, improve public health and protect the climate."
The proposal, which will take years to develop, would increase monthly electricity bills for ratepayers by an estimated $1.50 a month. Commercial ratepayers could see increases of up to 1.5 percent.
Republican critics denounced the measure for increasing electricity bills in order to develop the world's most expensive forms of electricity.
"This is not the path," said Sen. E.J. Pipkin, R-Cecil. "This is a private enrichment bill. Our citizens deserve better than this from us, and that's why, ladies and gentlemen, I believe this is the dumbest idea ever."

na, one points not that big of a deal
Mod over at reddit.com/r/NOLAPelicans
I was offering waaaaaaaaay more!!
I agree the point is not a big deal at all. but the trade is kind of a big deal. LOL. and since the one point more makes it an invalid trade there is always the option that Trell could then say I don't want only 10 points in the deal and can take his time to make it a better trade for his team or look at other options.
Trell don't take the one less point and I can give you the PF you want!

LOL i agree with HornetsFan. I was actually in the same boat as Trell early in the season when i almost jumped the gun and traded Odom away. Luckily for me (sorry BallSoHard) I was able to back out of it bc it was invalid like this one. I later worked out a deal with him that we were both happy with tho. This one is even more lopsided than the first failed trade between clips and lakers. Trell should be getting back much more talent for what hes giving up. I think everyone can see that.
He keeps saying other offers sucked but i offered him stromile swift straight up for baron davis.and he didnt take that but he is okay with this one.
Okay, a good and young PF.
Anyway, again. Trell, if you like the trade and would take it for 10 points still, then speak up. If not, contact Balls and work it out.
Also, I know some owners commenting in this thread didn't like when others commented about the "fairness" in their own trade threads. So let's keep that in mind before we continuously blast and beat a dead horse.

Ballsohard was this the deal you needed to get done before we do ours?
What's funny is the majority of the people complaining, are ones that "offered way better deals". I offered what I thought were way better deals than deals i've seen go down, never said a peep.
The only bad part about that trade was the Mavs first. I should have gotten a better first rounder.
Can only trade 10 points.

It is funny. I posted after the trade was already agreed to from both sides. I thought it was already official. I was giving my take on how much of a lopsided trade it was. So good for you. You made one Hell of a deal !!!!!
I personally don't like when people give their opinion of a trade before its been approved by both parties by someone not even involved in the deal. I don't like that part of how the trade threads work. but i guess that's how it's going to be unless CP3 changes it.
Well then you sir are a gentleman and a scholar lol. But seriously this isn't the first time everyone has chimed in on a trade, won't be the last. It is an awesome deal for you and shifts power, you reload and come back even stronger after making it so close. Big news friend, it'll be closed anyway when cp3 completes it so why not talk about it lol

Evolution: What We Know and What We Don't

Vox Balaenae
In 1967, biologists Roger Payne and Scott McVay discovered that humpback whales "sing" and published recordings of the whales' complex vocalizations, after which "whale song" quickly entered the popular consciousness and helped propel the "save the whales" environmental movement forward.

#1 Metalocalypse in MY Little Ponies? I do believe this calls for a special tribute.
#2 I knew this was coming when I heard that line.
#1 Hahaha that is certainly one way to get someone to read. Poor Pinkie being used as a threat though.
#2 Oh Fluttershy one day your dream will come true.
inb4 trolls hate on bands that put on make up for stage presence
I can tell without even clicking that that is Dethklok crossover. And that is win.
So...did anyone else see the punchline coming for #2 like...100 miles away?
1) I love that they bandaged her guitar to her.
2) Fluttershy tree jokes will never die. And can I say, I loved the range of expressions that Miss Cheerilee had in that episode.
For some reason, Skwisgaar's voice coming out of Rainbow Dash is the funniest and brutalest thing ever. That, and Dr. Pinkso. They nailed both of those.
When I saw all this feedback... I figured that my comic was posted here. Thank you so much!
#1 Your books, give them to me. NOW!
#2 So very well played.
I laughed at both comics. Dethklok ponies are f*scriiitch*cking metal, and Fluttershy is best tree. So two wins in one post.
Dethklok ponies!
f*pinchharmonic*cking awesome!
April 29 Season 4 premier mah body is ready
Gotta love the Dethklok ponies. PA PA PA PA PA PINKIE PIE, THE ROCK AND ROLL PONY...i do sugar
this wins all the things
1. I don't get it. As usual. No one is surprised by my lack of understanding references.
2. Meh. That joke is old and played out at this point.
I see what you did thear.... first dethklok reference I've seen with my little pony.

Posted by Sara Love, ND on January 31, 2012 at 7:00 PM |
2012 has started with a bang. All the excitement of the new year, its an election year so we are inudated with campaign ads, and Paula Deen has come out as a diabetic. Since I love food and cooking I was interested in this turn of events. I am not sure what piqued my interest more, the fact that she was diabetic and refusing to change her menus or that she was actively getting paid to promote a new diabetes medication.
The day she announced her diagnosis, I decided to watch one of her shows online which I had never seen. Ms. Deen cooks with a fair amount of fat and sugar and not a lot of vegetables. It saddens me to see this kind of cooking promoted by someone afflicted with such a serious disease. Yes, diabetes can be managed with medications, but even better diabetes can be REVERSED with the help of nutrition and lifestyle modifications.
So, why should we watch what we eat....because food should be our medicine. After you stop eating sugars and other "addictive" foods like dairy and processed grains your body will come to better appreciate the flavors of other foods.
And food looks and tastes so much better than pills or injections.

What crepe? opening without fanfare in downtown Ann Arbor
The new French-style eatery was scheduled to open at 11 a.m. at 241 E. Liberty St., but Jenkins said he has not done much promotion around the city. The "soft opening" will be used to train staff and make sure that everything in the shop is running smoothly.
"We want to organically open the doors and work out the first week's kinks before we really hit the town [with advertising]," he said.
"We want to be sure we're ready for Ann Arbor before we go out spreading the word everywhere."
As snow fell in the Ann Arbor area Friday morning, Jenkins was undeterred by the opening day weather. He said there was a similar snowstorm when another branch of the restaurant opened in Birmingham last year. Up to 2 inches of snow was expected in Ann Arbor Friday, with a mix of snow and freezing drizzle possible later.
"It was the same thing [last time], but it didn't hurt us at all," he said.
"What crepe? has been tabbed as a cozy intimate dining spot, so if people do decide they want to go out tonight, we're the kind of place they will want to go. We do well in cold weather."
The store is also opening with its full liquor license, Jenkins said, so diners who go out can reward themselves with a hot toddy or other warm drink. There will also be coffee, tea, beer, and wine available.
In addition to the restaurant's main draw, the customizable crepes, it will serve a variety of breakfast options including French toast, quiche and omelets. The average price for a crepe will be $10 to $12, with options ranging up $16. (view the menu)
"I'm not the chef, but I wish I was so I could take credit for some of the things he'll be cooking up," Jenkins said.
" Our spicy chicken truffle is pretty amazing. And the crepe chocolate eclair is the most amazing dessert on our menu."
Everything is made fresh in-house, and the menu will also offer a range of vegan, gluten free, and vegetarian options, including entre-sized salads.
"Our guys were so excited about getting everything ready for today that some of them slept in the restaurant last night," Jenkins said Friday.
"They said they didn't want to go back to Birmingham and then drive here in the morning. With all this snow it certainly looks like they made a good choice."

The Council is responsible for the maintenance of pavements and footways. Trip hazards on pavements are a key concern. If you see a pavement that has a defect, please let us know.
Report a damaged pavementVehicle damage
Pavements, particularly those constructed of paving slabs, can suffer very badly from overriding vehicles. If you see a car damage a pavement, please let us know the vehicle details so we can recover the full cost of repairs.
Road works
When work is carried out on pavements and footways, the organisation (which may include utility companies) carrying out the work is responsible for ensuring there is a safe diversionary route for pedestrians and other traffic, and a satisfactory reinstatement.

Let us be your personal shoppers!
ABC's booksellers don't just sell books: as well as being voracious readers, almost all ABC staff members are personally responsible for buying the books for one or more sections in the stores. That means you'll always find someone who can put exactly the right book in your hands when you need it. We asked our buyers for their tips for the best gifts for the upcoming holiday season, and they came up with some great ones: new books, classic books, magazines, games, merchandise, and stationery.
Today you'll find gift ideas for Consciousness, Religion, Self-Help and Body/Mind/Spirit as supplied by Femke, Martijn and Agnes.
