*Repost My Answer To How Do You Find Stock Opportunity
I'm moving my family across country and am unable to post anything new until settling down in the Tampa area.
For more information on how this will affect anything go here.
I hope you enjoy these older posts in the meantime. And please feel free to contact me. I'll get back to you when I can.

Thanks so much.
Below is my answer on Quora to someone who asked How Do You Find Stock Opportunities?
The way I do research has been the area that has changed and evolved the most since starting to invest. I used to put together detailed stock screeners on places like FINVIZ.com – Stock Screener. And look for companies that had good-looking ratios. That was about it.I looked for things like a high current ratio, high margins, growing revenues, high insider ownership, etc and wasted a lot of time sifting through poor companies because I didn't have a defined and repeatable way of searching for companies.
Like my selling decision making process, I now use a regimented research strategy that saves me a lot of time. And has helped me find better companies faster.
Instead of doing full research on a company that had good-looking ratios, I now follow a three-step process that discards a lot of companies off the bat.
Before we get into the details of what I do, I want to tell you that this is what works for me. And if this doesn't work for you, you need to find whatever works best for you.
The first thing I do is put together a very basic stock screen with only a few criteria instead of the 10+ individual criteria I used to use each time. All of this is based on FINVIZ.com – Stock Screener.
I use basic search criteria in the screens like recent positive insider buys, if it has a P/B below 2, and it has a market cap below $300 million. Sometimes using more sometimes less, but generally this is the criteria I now use to start with.
I also consider the amount of shares that insiders own. If any analysts are covering the company. If a company has had recent bad or good news. If the company is under strategic review. And a lot of other criteria but those are a lot more subjective to my preferences than anything.
Recent insider buys are always something I like to see because insiders know more about the company than anyone. If they are buying it can mean they expect the company to do well over time. Or that they think the company is undervalued.
If you are looking at this make sure that the insider buys are buys in the open market and not just the awarding of options or shares by the company.
You can do this by looking at the company's form 4 releases. These can be found on the company's site or on Morningstar – Independent Investment Research.
If you are interested in special situations you can use sites likeStock Spinoffs – Finding Value in Special Situations to find ideas. I also find investment ideas from other value investing blogs, Insider Trading & Hedge Fund Data, and Investment Newsletter From Insider Monkey, Seeking Alpha, GuruFocus, etc.
With the above criteria from the stock screen I end up with a list of between 50-350 companies to look into. After that I discard Chinese companies because of my previous horrible experience with Chinese small caps.
I also discard financials except insurance companies, pharmaceuticals, biotech, and mining/natural resource companies because I do not understand how to value or analyze those companies.
After discarding these companies I end up with a list of between 30-150 companies in most cases.
When I get to this point I go one by one using Morningstar – Independent Investment Research or Yahoo Finance to look at things like insider ownership. To find out what the company does for business. How healthy the company's balance sheet is. Its profitability. If it has any positive or negative news. And see if any of these companies are interesting for some reason.
I do this to determine which companies I am going to do further research on.
Using my personal criteria for what I look for in an investment (Again, this is something you will have to figure out for yourself) I narrow that list of as many as 150 companies down to fewer than five that I start minimal research on.
For each of the remaining companies I download their most recent annual, quarterly, and proxy report. Read through those and take notes.
At this point I will discard more companies. Sometimes all of them if I find enough things about the companies that bother me.
If I discard all the companies at this point I then adjust the stock screener and start the research over from the beginning. Going through several hundred companies again.
I will also look for things like spin offs and other special situations at this point.
If I find a company or companies that I still like after reading the most recent financial reports I then value the companies and analyze float to see if they are undervalued. And if they could have a moat.
At this point most of the time I discard all remaining companies because they are not undervalued.
If this happens I will adjust my search criteria again and start looking for more companies to research.
If I do find a company that is undervalued or interesting still, this is where I do full research into them. In most cases I will write an article about a company if I get to this point as well.
At this point I download an annual report for at least each of the past five years (10+ years if they go back that far) and read every one of those annual reports. And take a lot of notes to see if a company has had problems in the past. And see how they went through the previous recession to get an idea of how they may react in another worst case scenario. How they came out of those problems and got better. And to see how the company's operations have evolved over time.
At this point I have notes on a company's profitability and margins. How it has evolved operations over time. Have an idea on whether management is trustworthy. And how it weathered the recent recession.
I also read proxy reports to see what executive and management pay is. To find out if there are any red flags. Who owns 5%+ of the company. What percentage of the company insiders own. And to find out if management has shareholders best interest at heart when it comes to the compensation structure for insiders.
At this point I also search Google to see if there have been any new developments at the company since their last annual or quarterly report came out.
From here I research the company's competitors. I do this by reading at least a few of each company's annual reports. Again, taking notes on their margins, debt, cash levels, profitability, revenues, and float. So that I can compare the companies together over a period of time. So I can see how they stack up against each other. And to see who on a relative basis the most undervalued.
While doing research on competitors keep in mind that these can also turn into potential investments if they end up having better margins, better profitability, and are more undervalued than the company you are analyzing.
And if all else fails you can also do what helped me learn faster than anything. This is also the way Warren Buffett started learning too.
You can download a list of companies – small caps, micro caps, ADR's, or OTC companies for example – and read their annual reports one by one. Take notes. Research. Evaluate. And value companies that meet your basic criteria. With the ones left over you can research them in full.
Not only will this help you learn different industries faster. But it will also help you learn what your weaknesses when evaluating companies is so you can fix them.
Doing this helped me learn faster than anything. And its the way I look for companies all the time now.
Hope this helped.

This chest is a graduation gift for my son. It is made with mahogany, maple and walnut.
The finish on the mahogany is Watco Teak Oil. For some reason the Teak Oil did not get this particular mahogany to the deep rich color I was looking for. I used The Anarchist's Daughter's wax and it deepened the mahogany's color further than the oil did which I am happy about.
The inside of the chest has several coats of Sealcoat. The Walnut was finished with Watco's Dark Walnut Oil and Minwax's Polycrylic varnish.
I seeded the chest with a basic set of tools. About 50-50 vintage vs. new.. The astute will notice that I "splurged", and purchased one of Bob Summerfield's table saws .
Thanks for looking.

Gorgeous looking tool box and expertly made with great care and skill , but one thing that always bugs me is that the tools just lay there and are not prevented to bang into each other and get damaged and that is something that should be addressed .

Hooper's late strike calms nervy Bhoys
Celtic 1 Motherwell 0
Gary Hooper's late strike gave Celtic victory over Motherwell in their Premier League encounter at Parkhead.
Hoops 'keeper Fraser Forster made a brilliant save from Tom Hateley's penalty, awarded for Kelvin Wilson's challenge on Jamie Murphy, just before the Englishman converted a Georgios Samaras cross from close range with 11 minutes remaining.
Not for the first time this season at home, though, the Scottish champions ended up struggling to get three points from a match that should have been over by the interval.
Wilson gave Forster a ribbing but admitted he was relieved to see the England squad member make the save.
"All keepers are weird and so he is a bit strange, he's a big kid at heart," he said. "He has got a thing about throwing something then hiding. If something hits you on the back of the head, you know it's him.
"But it was a relief and when Hooper scored it made it a perfect ending. It was a little bit of tiredness, it was a stonewall penalty but Fraser made a great save
"I just said well done to him afterwards and he just shook his head as if to say 'that's another one'.
"He is probably the best keeper I have played in front of. I don't know Joe Hart personally but watching him on television he is one of the best keepers in the world, if not the best, and so Fraser is up there as a brilliant number two."
Motherwell's Irish 'keeper Darren Randolph also had his moments as he kept Celtic at bay with a series of saves although there were some glaring misses too before Hooper pounced to take Neil Lennon's side into the winter break nine points clear of Inverness at the top of the table.
Lennon made four changes and returned to a back four after admitting three at the back did not work in the 1-0 defeat by Hibernian at Easter Road on Saturday. In came Adam Matthews, Beram Kayal, Kris Commons and Charlie Mulgrew with skipper Scott Brown, Mikael Lustig, Lassad Nouioui and Thomas Rogne dropping out, the latter two on the bench.
Samaras had the ball in the net from Commons' cross in the second minute but was flagged offside. Commons then flashed a shot from the edge of the box just wide after being set up by Hooper, who then turned and drove wide after taking a Kayal pass with his back to goal.
There was no let-up in the pressure on the Motherwell goal and moments later Randolph flew to his left to pluck a goal-bound Commons shot out of the air.
The Hoops support groaned once more when Victor Wanyama then missed Mulgrew's corner altogether from eight yards, allowing Motherwell to clear their lines.
With seconds remaining Ambrose missed the chance of the half when Randolph dropped Wanyama's header from a Mulgrew corner, the Parkhead defender hooking the ball over the bar from barely two yards.
Celtic had an unconvincing start to the second period but with six minutes gone Randolph tipped a deflected shot from Wanyama over the bar.
Celtic dropped the tempo which allowed Motherwell to breathe slightly easier. Both sides were taking turns to attack but Motherwell were handed a great chance to take the lead when referee Steven McLean adjudged Wilson to have tripped Murphy in the box. But the Motherwell player blew the chance to give his team a parting gift before he joins Shefflied United in a six-figure deal as the Celtic 'keeper flew across to make a great save.
The incident seemed to energise Celtic and they were soon in the lead when Hooper played the ball to Samaras and ran into the box to collect the return pass and slip the ball under Randolph from six yards.
There were some nervy moments before the final whistle as Motherwell went for broke but in the end Celtic held on and deserved their win.

'Morning everyone,I'm all a-jitter for Twitter lately because I've come to believe that it can be a terrific tool for a writer and investor like me. And for you, too.If you're not yet familiar with Twitter, it's a micro-blogging service whereby messages of 140 characters or less are broadcast to your followers, people who read your "tweets."
Alltop.com co-founder Guy Kawasaki made a strong case for Twitter as a business builder -- a way to add network effects to a business that doesn't produce them naturally -- when a few of us members of the Rule Breakers team interviewed him during our October tour of Silicon Valley. Read these two articles for more about how Guy uses Twitter: Looking for Mr. Goodtweet: How to Pick Up Followers on TwitterHow to Use Twitter as a TwoolAnd here are links to other Twitterific posts I've found useful:5 Ways I Benefit from Twitter (Darren Rowse, @ProBlogger)19 Handy Twitter Mashups and Tools (Thomson Chemmanoor)Community givers I particularly like (and therefore follow) are Guy, Chris Brogan, John Battelle, Tim O'Reilly, and, well, too many others to name. (I almost always enjoy reading the posts of those I'm connected with.)Can these folks help you as an investor? If you're a tech investor, yes, I think they can, especially O'Reilly and Paul Saffo, a Fool friend that I've interviewed a few times. I also follow Sarah Wood because she's funny, Mary Smaragdis at Sun because she's an old friend, and Joe Quesada at Marvel because, well, I like comic books. (As if that's a surprise.)Now, here are two tips for gathering investor intelligence via Twitter:1. Targeted searches. Go to Twitter. Scroll to the bottom of the page. Click "search." Now, enter "Akamai." Page 2 of the results includes a post from analyst Dana Gardner asking why Google hasn't yet bought the company. You can also search by tags (try #iPhone if you're an Apple investor) or users (try @TechCrunch to see reactions to that blog's postings). 2. StockTwits. Though it appears to be more for traders than long-term investors, StockTwits is like CAPS in that it captures a snapshot of investor sentiment as expressed in tweets. You can view data at StockTwits even if you aren't on Twitter. (Here's the data page for Apple.) But if you are, logging in with your Twitter username and password allows you to join the conversation.Finally, I've a favor to ask. If you like what we do here in Fooldom and what we're doing at Twitter (@TheMotleyFool), would you consider nominating us for a Shorty Award in finance or business?
Find the links here and here. Voting continues through Dec. 31.
I still think of The Motley Fool as the world's greatest investment community. But I've come to view Twitter as a powerful enhancement. If you agree, and you're on Twitter, find me at @milehighfool. And if you're not, why not give it a try? You've at least one Foolish friend waiting to show you around ...Foolish best,TimTMFMileHigh
Hi Tim,
Thanks for the shout out to our site StockTwits.com in your article. We are indeed building an awesome online community for traders of all experience levels.
In addition, we can also add value to those who are more investment oriented. For example, those who are interested in precious metals and who have been following me regularly would have found several tweets focused on how I have been effectively building positions in $GLD and $SLV over a period of months and taking advantage of price movement and optionality to do so.
I am always eager to hear any and all feedback and can be reached directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Philip Pearlman
Head of Research and Community Development
Adding Robert Scoble's video inteview with Guy Kawasaki to the resource list. Listen to how he talks about Twitter, GM, and Yahoo!
hey mile high.. this one a cant miss from tim.. cheers..

Seven weeks to go to No. 20
This time last year my long run had been 3 miles and I had just received the OK from my personal trainer, Jake, to up the distance of my runs.
Although my foot is 90 percent recovered from last year's surgery I still have to limit my outdoor runs to a couple days a week.
I finally was able to fit a long run between snow storms and I managed to get 16 in last Saturday.
Come April 15 I will be running my 20th consecutive Boston Marathon while raising money for innovative cancer research at Dana Farber.
In an effort to make this a special year for me, I have invited 20 or so of the young women that I have met during my last 20 years running to help me celebrate my run and to raise additional funds for the Dana Farber Marathon Challenge.
My plan is to have one of my former training partners to meet me at each mile along the course.
In addition to being a welcome distraction, each lovely lady has pledged $100 to my fundraising effort.
The response has been great, I have well over 20 companions signed up.
One of the joys of running the marathon over the last two decades has been meeting wonderful people from all walks of life. I'm truly honored that so many are going to join me for the big event.
As any marathoner knows the next few weeks are crucial to having a good day on Patriots Day. For me the key is a few more long runs and to stay healthy.
Eighteen on tap for this Saturday with the Quincy Half Marathon the following Sunday .

Before Samsung had even officially announced Galaxy Mega 6.3, rumor was that the device was listed for pre-order in Germany for €699. One Galaxy Mega variant has already stopped by the FCC for approval, there's still no official confirmation as to when these gigantic devices will be released in the U.S. Latest rumors claim that the release of both Mega 'phablets' has been delayed and they won't be available until July, as opposed to the previous May release. Despite that, a couple of retailers in the UK have already listed the price for Galaxy Mega 6.3, which is approximately £460.
It is also claimed that an 8GB variant of Mega 6.3 will be available as well, though there are no rumored price points for that device right now. One UK based retailer claims to have this device in stock by July, whereas the other does not list any expected release time frame. While all this is happening across the pond, prospective customers stateside may have to wait for at least a month before the Mega 6.3 comes over. And as we said in our detailed Galaxy Mega 6.3 review, its certainly is an impressive device, that may perhaps warrant an anxious wait.

Well, what is important to you in a location?? Will there be children at your wedding? Do you want all-inclusives? How many guests are you anticipating? etc...

Most likely no kids, not crowded, not sure about the whole all-inclusive thing. I really think primarily I want a beautiful location with a beach you can actually swim in, good food, good service. I would probably prefer a newer hotel if possible. I guess I'm still overwhelmed!!!
Posted 12 February 2008 - 05:28 PM
We are getting married at the Princess Riviera May 22, 2008. You couldn't beat the price! It's a brand new resort and looks beautiful. There has been a few kinks, being a nre resort, but the reviews are getting better and better!

Why El Dorado Seaside and not El Dorado Royale?
just curious

I think I like both El Dorados. When I look back at my notes from hours and hours of reading reviews, I have No EDD and yes EDSS. I don't remember why exactly. One thing I really love about Royale is that they have those big "beds" that you and your husband to be and lounge on by the pool or the beach. Was there a problem with the beach not being swimmable at EDR??
I'm sure you all remember how hard it is to narrow down a site. Now I'm considering The Royale Cancun - looks like a great hotel - anyone have info on it??

Vandalia Butler Highschool vollyball team volunteered with us. At their team banqute a team member was asked what was highlight of her year, instead of saying that a highlight was sports she said "my highlight was volunteering with a little girl at Childrens Medical Center polishing nails to make the girls feel special."
My daughter loves the Polished Girlz and she will not miss an Association Meeting because she does not want to miss getting her nails done. We were in a bad car accident last week and instead of staying in bed like I offered her she said no mom I'm getting my nails done. She came to get her nails polished bruises and all.
LouAnn L – Client Mom
We love you girls so much, the clients love you too, we miss you so much when we dont see you and the parents even will match the girls clothes to their nails so like for a week they will be wearing pink or whatever color they get!

My niece was in a horrible car accident and the person in the other car did not make it, she spend quite a while in Childrens Hospital very upset and sad because she had also broken her back. One day these volunteers came in to just polish her nails and she was so happy. She even forgot for just a little while that she was in so much pain.

I was out running errands on Saturday morning, and after pulling into a parking lot and doing some shopping, I returned to my car – and realized the exterior of Chevrolet Cobalt SS wasn't as clean as I would have liked. And I wanted to visit my girlfriend Nicole that afternoon, and there's no way I'm driving up there in a car that's two dirtloads away from having some clown write "WASH ME" in fingermarks on the side.
So while on my errand schedule, I pulled over at one of those touchless car washes, a place called Squirt's Car Wash. I decided on getting the medium car wash, which cost $10. I looked in my wallet. All I had were some $20 bills. I could have used my credit card, but heck I figured the machine was perfectly capable of giving back change. I can handle this.
In goes the $20 into the automated display. I pressed the buttons for the $10 exterior car wash.
The receipt came out. The door to the wash bay opened up. The pay monitor screen told me to drive into the wash bay.
Only one problem. I hadn't received my $10 in change.
I looked at the printed receipt. Yep. The words "Dispense Err: 10" and "Refund Due: $10" and "Sorry for inconvenience! See Attendant for help!" were printed there.
I held onto the receipt and drove the Blackbird into the wash bay. Now I'm figuring, at first blush, I'm out $10. And since this is one of those self-service car washes, there's no way I'll find anybody who can help get me a refund. Now a more agitated Chuck Miller would raise his fist in the glimmering sunset and vow, "As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never have a dirty car again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I'll never have a dirty car again."
A more agitated Chuck Miller would have run that car wash up and down on his blog, griping and grumbling and moaning and kvetching about how he got ripped off, to the point where one would think that Squirt's Car Wash was a sister company to Rocky Mountain Film Lab. And just so you're keeping score, it's been THREE YEARS since that film was sent to them, and I still haven't received it back. Yeah, RMFL is probably thinking that frankly, my dear, they didn't give a damn.
That's the old Chuck Miller. Leave that kind of agitation and pot-stirring to other passive-aggressive, entitlement-driven blogs. This is the NEW Chuck Miller, full of calm and patience. You know, the one with the hashtag #chuckishappy on his Twitter feed.
There's a phone number on car wash receipt. I called the number. Answering service. So I left a message, explaining what happened, and added my telephone number so they could call me back whenever they check their messages.
Next day, I'm out on a photo shoot, testing out a repair on one of my film cameras.
It's my phone. I don't recognize the number.
"Hi, is this Chuck Miller?"
"Yes, this is he."
"Hi, I'm Glenn from Squirt's Car Wash. I understand that you paid for a car wash and didn't get your change."
I instinctively reached for my wallet, where the receipt was kept, just in case I needed to provide proof of what happened.
"We're sorry that happened, Chuck, and we've fixed the machine so that it should work properly from now on. But you've been inconvenienced, and we'd like to make that up to you. You purchased the $10 wash, right?"
"I did," I said, putting the wallet back in my pocket.
"We're going to give you a code for two free car $12 deluxe car washes, which you can use at any time, as our apology for what happened. If that doesn't work for you, we can send you a check for the $10 or you can pick up payment at our office, whatever is convenient for you."
"Thank you," I replied. I realize that it would be a pain in the neck to drive all the way back up there for $10 – heck, I'd probably burn $10 of gas on the trip itself. But two car washes of higher value, a $24 value for $10 of inconvenience – I can live with that. He recited a couple of wash codes, and I wrote them down for future use.
Tell you what – it's nice to know that when something does go wrong with a purchase, there are companies like Squirt's Car Wash that will go that extra mile to make things right. Customer service can go a long way these days. And if there are blogs that will trash a company because the food served was too hot, too cold, too wet or too dry…
Then let my blog be the one who applauds a company that can solve a problem and make things better than right.
Can't complain about that.

When I was growing up, my mom always drank tea. Of course she always drank coffee as well (I'm convinced that is why I love coffee so much), but I remember a lot of tea drinking.
We would go to visit family friends most Sundays after church, and I remember the kids all playing and the adults all sitting around the table drinking tea.
Is my mom the only one who carried tea around in her purse? Actually, this is something else I have inherited from my mom, I always have tea in my purse…
As we move to the colder months, I think more about tea. Like I said above, I am a coffee drinker, but during the winter I start to drink tea all day long.
Tea is such a comforting drink. There are so many different kinds and flavors, and I especially love the herbal teas and their health benefits.
One simple pleasure is to sit in the evenings and have a cup of chamomile tea with a splash of whole milk. It helps me to relax in the evening.
After a long day at the office, or with your kids, having some time to unwind is important, and incorporating tea into that evening routine can be a treat.
There are so many different teas available, and you can find something for pretty much any mood. I love peppermint, and chamomile, like I said before. I also love Rooibos tea. A little milk and honey makes it taste amazing, and even my kids will get into drinking tea in the winter.
How does this translate to self-care?
I have always thought that drinking tea makes you slow down a bit. You have to wait for the kettle to boil the water, and then wait for the tea to steep and be ready for drinking. It can be a wonderfully relaxing time at the end of the day.
Even if I am completely frazzled, drinking some hot tea typically calms my nerves and lets me center myself again.
It is perfect to have tea and meditate, write in a gratitude journal, sit in quiet (after the kids go to bed), and reflect on your day.
Are you a tea drinker? What is your favorite tea?

Part of this experience is about living simpler. What exactly does that mean? For me, it means consuming less, which directly translates to spending less. It means living life without so many gadgets and "modern" comforts. But it is not just about living simpler. It is about living simpler and still enjoying life just as much, if not more. This aspect of my journey has not been nearly as difficult as I thought it would be, and I believe that my efforts to live simpler have made the experience better. Here are the 5 things I have learned about living simpler.
1. It is not that difficult to live without specialized tools, but not having them makes you appreciate them more.
A friend I met who is from South America but has lived in many other places, including two years in New York City, once told me that he was invited to a co-worker's home in NYC. He was amused by the fact that "Americans have a special tool for everything. You cannot even open a can without an electrical device." I think this statement is very telling of our culture. Think of all the infomercials advertising the latest tool to "make your life simpler." Retailers like Bed, Bath, and Beyond thrive on the specialized-tool craze. But do all of these gadgets actually make our lives any simpler? Or are they just things for us to spend money on that we may use once a year?
Don't get me wrong. I'm not judging anyone for buying that fancy vegetable chopper from Pampered Chef. If you make a lot of salads, it's probably worth it. My point here is that we have access to a lot of things and conveniences in the US, which I no longer take for granted. And the abundance of what we do have available makes it even more important to prioritize where I put my resources.
I still remember the first hostel I encountered where I needed to peel carrots, but there was no vegetable peeler to be found. I stood in the kitchen for a few moments, staring at the carrots. Then I realized that I could peel a carrot with a knife. Not nearly as fast or easy, but it works. Now I get excited when I find a vegetable peeler in the hostel kitchen. Ah, the little things.
2. I can live without a cell phone, but I cannot go too long without my computer and an internet connection.
In the US, I had a love-hate relationship with my iPhone. It brings such convenience, yet comes with the downside of keeping you always connected and available which can be stressful for you and annoying to others. I hate seeing two people sitting in a restaurant, both of them staring down at their phones and typing away. When I took my annual 2-week vacations, I never even considered enabling the international plan. I was happy to turn off the phone and tuck it in my bag for two weeks. It turns out I was also perfectly happy to extend my cell-phone liberation for a whole 6 months.
What has surprised me a bit is how much I have relied on my computer and having an internet connection. Photography and my website have been my "work" over the past 6 months, so I have spent a lot of time on the computer. But I have to admit it is not just about the work. My computer is my personal journal. Sure, I could use paper and pen, but it is so much easier and faster to type. And who wants to lug around notebooks? I would have probably filled a stack of them by now.
The internet is also my lifeline to keep in touch with family and friends. It is how I securely manage my finances and personal affairs while out of the country. Email, Skype, and online banking are truly genius inventions. You access them when you want to be connected and turn them off when you are done.
Technology can make our lives simpler. We are the ones who allow it to over-complicate or interfere with our lives. It is an individual preference as to how much and which type of technology to use.
3. Our possessions can weigh us down and prevent us from doing the things we want to do.
When I was preparing to leave for this trip, I was overwhelmed by the task of getting rid of my things. I thought I lived a fairly minimalist life. I was not a candidate for the show Hoarders. I did not like knick-knacks or clutter in my home. Yet I still had too much stuff.
Even if you do not want to pack up your possessions to go off and explore the world for a few months or years, the money we spend on our possessions impacts how we live our lives. I remember looking at the bags and bags of things I was dropping off at Goodwill and thinking, "If I hadn't spent money on this stuff that I really don't need, I could travel to more places."
No, I am not going to turn into a miser. We work hard, and I think it is important to treat ourselves to the things we want. (Every one of my monthly massages was worth the money.) I think the key is being sure of your priorities and not worrying about what other people think your priorities should be. For some people, a priority is having a nice home with a big yard and being able to entertain friends and family frequently. For others, a priority is enjoying the arts. Going forward, I know I will make better decisions on how I spend my money based on what is most important to me.
4. It is nice not to worry about looking great all the time.
I am so happy I am not one of those people carrying around a backpack bigger than me. It was worth sacrificing a fashionable wardrobe for the ease of traveling with a reasonably-sized pack. Once again, it comes down to priorities. When I was going into an office every day as a consultant, I wanted to look professional and put-together. When I went out for dinner with friends, I wanted to look at least as nice as the other people in the restaurant. Okay, maybe I wanted to look better than the others at the restaurant.
When I am backpacking through Latin America, I want to be comfortable and prepared. A limited wardrobe does mean I have had to hand-wash clothes frequently, and I have had to be creative about what to wear when I met with professionals or the few times I have gone to a nice restaurant or club. But I have learned you can do a lot with a little, and you can still keep it simple. (Ladies, a pashmina and dangly earrings are miracle accessories.)
Keeping this mindset has been a little more challenging since I arrived in Buenos Aires. This is a modern, trendy city, and everyone makes it a point to look great, especially the women. I have to remind myself that my wardrobe is perfectly fine. I did buy a couple of shirts to replace the ones that were worn down from travel, but I bought cheap and simple. These are shirts I will wear when I go hiking in Patagonia and take my next 12-hour bus ride. And I still have that pashmina. Oh, and I "splurged" and spent $5 on a pair of earrings for those nights out at the tango club

La Liga16:15vs
Skill and organizational ability at the service of the Whites' midfield. After starring in three different countries (Bosnia, Croatia and England) and in the European Championship, Luka Modric signed for Real Madrid in August 2012, thus reaching the peak of his football career.
The Croatian has always had outstanding vision which allows him to play in several different positions. He started as an attacking midfielder who could play the final ball to forwards but in recent years he has played further back. He now helps out more with defensive tasks and plays the ball out from the back to begin the attack. He's a versatile player who provides plenty of options for the team.
At the age of 18, Luka was named the best player in the Bosnian First Division and was awarded the same title in 2007 in Croatia. He continued his career in the Premier League where he became Tottenham's record signing and the key player in their midfield. In his four seasons at Spurs, he made 24 assists and scored 13 goals, and earned a deserved reputation as a creative and unselfish midfielder who always aims to help his team.

Grand Review of the Armies
Over a Two-day period in Washington, D.C., May 23-24, 1865, the immense, exultant victory parade of the Union's main fighting forces in many ways brought the Civil War to its conclusion. With the nation's new president, Andrew Johnson, declaring on May 10 that all armed resistance was "virtually at an end," plans commenced for the review. It would far eclipse the two victory celebrations held before the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and bring Washington out of its formal mourning period for the slain president.
William Tecumseh Sherman's Army of Georgia, just finishing its 2,000-mile march through the heart of the Confederacy, arrived from North Carolina and bivouacked around the capital near George Gordon Meade's Army of the Potomac. Though the two armies camped on opposite sides of the river, the troops met up with one another in the taverns and brothels of Washington, D.C., where the customary rivalries led to numerous fistfights.
Sherman, concerned that Meade's army would outshine his own in the upcoming parade, was not immune from the rivalry either, Ordering some last-minute drilling and spit and polish sessions to whip his ragged troops into marching shape, Sherman knew they could not match the close-order discipline that the Army of the Potomac perfected.
The parade's first day was devoted to Meade's force, which, as the capital's defending army, was a crowd favorite. May 23 was a clear, brilliantly sunny day. Starting from Capitol Hill, the Army of the Potomac marched down Pennsylvania Avenue before virtually the entire population of Washington, a throng of thousands cheering and singing favorite Union marching songs. At the reviewing stand in front of the White House were President Johnson, General-in-Chief Ulysses S. Grant, and top government officials. Leading the day's march, General Meade dismounted in front of the stand and joined the dignitaries to watch the parade. His army made an awesome sight: a force of 80,000 infantrymen marching 12 across with impeccable precision, along with hundreds of pieces of artillery and a seven-mile line of cavalrymen that alone took an hour to pass. One already famous cavalry officer, George Armstrong Custer, gained the most attention that day-either by design or because his horse was spooked when he temporarily lost control of his mount, causing much excitement as he rode by the reviewing stand twice.
The next day was Sherman's turn. Beginning its final march at 9 A.M. on another beautiful day, his 65,000-man army passed in review for six hours, with less precision, certainly, than Meade's forces, but with a bravado that thrilled the crowd. Along with the lean, tattered, and sunburnt troops was the huge entourage that had followed Sherman's on his march to the sea: medical workers, laborers, black families who fled from slavery, the famous "bummers" who scavenged for the army's supplies, and a menagerie of livestock gleaned from the Carolina and Georgia farms. Riding in front of his conquering force, Sherman later called the experience "the happiest and most satisfactory moment of my life."
For the thousands of soldiers participating in both days of the parade, it was one of their final military duties. Within a week of the Grand Review, the Union's two main armies were both disbanded.

On this week's episode of Giuliana and Bill, Giuliana Rancic is under pressure as she heads to New York Fashion Week, commits to a business opportunity and tries to plan an anniversary surprise for husband Bill Rancic, who is at the receiving end of an offer that requires him to risk it all.
In case you missed it or you just want to relive it, we've got the best moments from the show in a full pic/gif recap!
During lunch with her assistant Sarah, Giuliana tries to think of what she should get Bill for their six-year anniversary. In the middle of their discussion, Giuliana's manager Pam stops by with some good news: HSN wants Giuliana to promote and sell blazers from her clothing line on their network for a 24-hour period!
But there's one catch: she has to sell 19,000 of them.
Giuliana questions whether she is capable of selling that many blazers, but Pam seems to think it won't be a problem. Giuliana decides to do it!
Then Bill stops by the office to visit. He also wants to announce some good news:
All jokes aside, Bill informs Giuliana that he has committed to running the New York City Marathon, with him being the 50,000th person in the race.
Here's the sweetest part: For every person that Bill passes in the race, his sponsor will donate a dollar to Giuliana's charity, Fab-U-Wish. How amazing!
Later on, Bill gets a call from his friend Skip, who works at an aviation company. Skip has some exciting news for Bill.
Bill is invited to fly with Sean Tucker, a world-famous stunt pilot, during one of his aerial shows! Bill eagerly accepts, but as he hangs up the phone, he realizes that the hard part is yet to come: breaking the news to Giuliana...
Back at home, Bill casually mentions the opportunity to Giuliana and her mother.
Giuliana's reaction is pretty much what Bill was expecting...
Giuliana expresses her concern for Bill's safety, but he assures her that he would never do anything that would endanger his life. It looks like this topic is still up in the air...
While in New York, Bill and Giuliana make their first appearance together on The Rachael Ray Show, where they talk about Giuliana's Fab-U-Wish Foundation and Bill's upcoming participation in the New York City Marathon.
It's Bill and Giuliana's official anniversary, and Giuliana has arranged a lovely picnic in Central Park for Bill and their son, Duke Rancic.
Here come Bill and Duke, all dressed up for their family picnic!
Duke starts to get restless...
Then Bill gets an idea...
He proceeds to give Giuliana a flying demonstration using Duke, which brings up the topic of Bill flying the plane again...
Giuliana tells Bill that she knows what she wants for her anniversary gift: she asks him to promise that he won't fly the stunt plane.
Bill assures Giuliana that everything is going to be okay and that he is going to be safe about it. That doesn't exactly sound like a promise...
It's officially Fashion Week in New York and Giuliana and her fellow co-hosts, which include Joan Rivers and Kelly Osbourne, make an appearance on The Today Show.
Afterwards, Giuliana sits front row at the show, checking out the latest runway fashions.
We spy Project Runway's Heidi Klum sitting next to her!
While Bill heads off to Chicago to fly the stunt plane, Giuliana takes Duke to a baby dance music class to get her mind off her worries.
Look at Baby Duke play that tambourine!
In the meanwhile, Bill heads into the sky...
...he gives the thumbs-up sign. So far, so good!
Check out that view!
Bill gets ready to do his big trick...
...it's a bird, it's a plane, it's Bill!
Mission accomplished!
Fahsion Week is over and now Giuliana is off to Tampa to sell her line of blazers on HSN!
Her energy is high as she works hard promoting her clothing, but she has to stay awake for the next 24 hours...
...although Skyping with Duke during her break definitely helps!
Bill and Giuliana reunite after their hectic week to spend some quality time together.
He surprises Giuliana with a trip to the spa, where they relax with massages, champagne and strawberries...
Afterwards they go to dinner, reflecting back on the happy years they've spent together.
When Giuliana asks Bill if there is anything he would change about their marriage, he pauses for a moment to think. Giuliana eagerly awaits his answer...
Bill smiles as he reveals to Giuliana that he wouldn't change a thing. He is very happy with where his life is, he knows exactly what he wants in life and he has it all.
It's pretty safe to say that these two are living happily ever after!
Tune-in to an all-new episode of Giuliana & Bill next Tuesday at 8/7c on E!

Multiheading Linux Systems
We used Red Hat 7.2 as the baseline because it has XFree86 4, which supports multiple displays (and input devices). Commercial X servers have supported this for a while, but XFree86 4 comes with new Linux distributions and it's free. Version 4 threw in a new configuration file and format to allow this flexibility. The key section is ServerLayout, which positions one screen relative to another. Here's an excerpt:
Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "XFree86 Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 Screen 1 "Screen1" LeftOf "Screen0" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection
As you undoubtedly realize from this straightforward format, this setup will configure Screen0 (the screen associated with your primary video card) and then configure Screen1 and place it to the left of Screen0. In other words, you would move your mouse across Screen0, hit the left edge and then enter Screen1 from the right side (pretty confusing if you have the monitors backward). You can choose Right, Top, Bottom or even Relative positioning so the screens are diagonal. Do a man XFree86 to get the details. The screens don't have to be the same resolution or even the same color depth. Make one or both virtual if you want, though we didn't find this easy to use. Each screen in ServerLayout is composed of a Monitor reference and Device (video card) reference as shown below:
Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Depth 8 #Virtual 1024 768 EndSubSection EndSectionHere's the monitor and device sections to support Screen0:
Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "GWY" ModelName "311" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "mga" VendorName "Matrox" BoardName "MGA 2164W" BusID "PCI:0:14:0" EndSectionThe first key thing is to make sure everything is consistent, i.e., Screen0 has Monitor0 and Card0. What's important is that the names match, not what they are. We have developed a habit of making one set end in 0 and the next set end in 1, instead of keeping track of the card and monitor names. It's just easier to avoid mistakes.
The next key thing is the device driver. That gets identified by the XFree86 -configure step for both cards. Finally, it's critical to get the BusIDs straight. It's optional with only one card but mandatory for two or more. An AGP card will start with a 1, not a 0, and probably will be 1:0:0.
Now you have the basics and need to fine-tune /etc/X11/XFConfig-4 to get optimal performance. Edit this file and interleave the data identified in /root/XFConfig-4.new. Because we're using KDE's graphical login, you can tweak the file, log out, restart the X server from the KDE login window, do the login and see what happens. If you're not happy, tweak and repeat. It's much faster than manually restarting X. See Listing 1 [available at ftp.linuxjournal.com/pub/lj/listings/issue99/5958.tgz] for a full XFConfig-4 file.
At this point, you have a working multiheaded system utilizing the KDE graphical login and probably the KDE environment (Figure 1). It turns out that there are four different configurations that can be set up: GNOME or KDE login, and then the GNOME or KDE environment. We'll go through the advantages and disadvantages of each approach now.
The file /etc/sysconfig/desktop determines which login manager is used. It's a one-line file saying DESKTOP="GNOME" or DESKTOP="KDE". Edit as root, according to your requirements. Here are the four configuration options:
KDE login manager/KDE work environment (your system is set up this way if you followed the formula). This approach gives you two screens that can be identified by :0.0 for the primary and :0.1 for the secondary. The screens are separate, so you can't move windows from one screen to the other. You have a KDE menubar for each screen. The best use for this is to devote a screen to monitoring (error log, network activity, server room temperature, etc.) whatever you need to keep an eye on that takes up a lot of screen real estate. This is the original motivation for making this work—use some old hardware to monitor network activity and do other work without having another computer on the desk. Since we're working with Linux and have the X Window System, it's easy to control where the X applications appear. You could type DISPLAY=:0.1 (bash/ksh/sh syntax), and then your application will appear in screen :0.1. If you wanted to have just one well-behaved X application in the other screen, type xclock -display :0.0, for example.
KDE login manager/GNOME work environment (type switchdesk from a command prompt and select GNOME to change from the original setup). This gives you a window manager controlling one screen and raw X on the other. You could type /usr/X11R6/bin/mwm -display :0.1 & in an xterm (ignore the warning) and get a different window manager running in the other screen. The commands twm and fvwm2 also will work. This is useful for testing purposes because you can quickly see if there are any problems with an application by running it in the environments. As in configuration one, the screens are separate.
Configurations three and four take a different approach and use the Xinerama extensions in XFree86 4. The authors are grateful to Dennis Baker for his splendid HOWTO. Xinerama makes one big screen, so it's probably the easiest and most natural way to work. You just move the windows from one screen to another. There are two key steps for these configurations. First, change the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file as above. Second, in the file /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, edit the line 0=/usr/bin/X11/X toward the end of the file by making it read 0=/usr/bin/X11/X +xinerama.
GNOME login/GNOME work environment with one large connected screen. When you maximize a window it will fill its screen.
GNOME login/KDE work environment. (Select KDE from the login window if you just want to try KDE once.) Again, it's one large connected screen. This time when you maximize a window it fills the complete screen (spanning between screens).

Company committed to rebuilding Burns Lake mill
It's been a tragic few of days in Burns Lake. Two people were found dead after an explosion tore through the Babine Forest Products Mill on Friday evening. Another 19 millworkers are still recovering from injuries. Some 250 people who worked at the now levelled mill, are off the job.
This week, officials with the company that owns the mill flew to Burns Lake to see the damage for themselves. Steve Zika is the CEO of Hampton Affiliates and spoke to Rebecca after he returned from Burns Lake.

Fear and Loathing: Thompson at his Rocky Mountain cabin in Colorado in 1992.
Photo: Getty Images
Hunter S. Thompson, who shot himself yesterday, defined an era with his New Journalism. In cultivating an image of himself as dangerous and drug-crazed, he became a symbol of the counterculture. By Caroline Overington in New York.
It's not yet clear whether Hunter S. Thompson left a suicide note. If not, his last written words may have been: "So long and Mahalo" - which is Hawaiian for thank you. The words appeared at the bottom of a column that Thompson wrote on February 15, just five days before he shot himself.
Thompson, 67, whose death was announced yesterday, will be mourned by his family, but also by millions of readers who were hooked on Thompson's style, which came to be known as "New Journalism" or "Gonzo journalism" where the writer became an important part of the story.
Thompson - he called himself Dr Thompson, after getting a
doctorate from a mail-order church, and the S was for Stockton -
has been described as one of the greatest American writers of the
20th century.
He was most famous for his 1971 masterpiece, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but there were many other books, all of them replete with fast and furious prose.
Take these famous lines from Fear and Loathing: "We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive ...' And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming: Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?"' He was writing about himself, of course.
Thompson cultivated an image as a dangerous, drug-crazed journalist, but it was also all true.
He drank to excess. He smoked countless cigarettes and took drugs. He kept firearms and, when people stopped by to fete him at his self-described "compound" in Woody Creek, near Aspen, Colorado, he shot bullets into the dirt around their feet. One of his most famous lines was: "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."
In recent years, Thompson had started to speculate about why he wasn't dead already.
"The fact that I'm not dead is sort of puzzling to me," he said, in a recent interview. "It's sort of an awkward thing to deal with."
Thompson was born in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1937. His youth was misspent; at one point, he enlisted in the US Air Force as part of his parole. He wrote from the earliest age, firstly from South America, where he established himself as a foreign correspondent when he was still in his late teens.
His first novel, The Rum Diary, was written in 1959, when he was just 21, but not published for 30 years.
His journalism career started at The Nation magazine, and his first published book, Hell's Angels, began as a piece of reporting for The Nation.
Instead of doing what journalists normally did - report by asking questions - Thompson bought a motorbike and joined the leader of the Hell's Angels on a ride. He had to end the experiment when there was a disagreement, and some members stomped on and broke his nose.
His next books, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and
Fear and Loathing:On the Campaign Trail '72 were
serialised in Rolling Stone.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was a first-person account by a journalist of a trip to Las Vegas with his attorney, to cover a narcotics convention. During the trip, the duo begin a search for "The American Dream", aided by LSD, ether and alcohol.
In the 1990s, the book was turned into a film starring Johnny Depp, which simply delighted Thompson, who once said he lived every day in the hope that one day, somebody would play him in a film.
In Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72, Thompson described the campaign leading to Richard Nixon's re-election as president, saying: "Jesus, where will it end? How low do you have to stoop in this country to become president?"
He loathed politics so much that, in 1970, he made an unsuccessful bid to be sheriff of a county in Colorado, saying he wanted to legalise drugs. He also planned to rename Aspen, Colorado, "Fat City."
Thompson's heyday was the late 1960s to the late 1970s but he continued to work as a sportswriter until last week.
His last book, Kingdom of Fear, published in 2003, was
an angry commentary on the state of American politics. In
interviews to publicise the book, he revealed himself as thoroughly
fed up with the Bush Administration. "Who does vote for these
dishonest shitheads?" he said.
"They are the racists and hatemongers among us - they are the Ku Klux Klan. I piss down the throats of these Nazis."
Thompson said America had suffered a "nationwide nervous breakdown" since the September 11 terrorist attacks, and the result was a "disaster of unthinkable proportions".
But, he told the online magazine, Salon, while America was spinning out of control, he was a "model of consistency - doing what the hell I want".
In 1990, he was charged with sexual and physical assault and possession of illegal drugs, but never faced court because of an illegal search warrant.
He retreated further into the hills of Colorado. Thompson was a lifelong member of the National Rifle Association, and his home was decorated with mounted animal heads. There was also a human skeleton in the front room.
Journalists who sought him out for interviews were sometimes told to mow the lawn, before he would let them inside. The actor Johnny Depp said Thompson fired a gun at a homemade bomb during some talks about the movie they were making.
Thompson never took life too seriously, saying he was simply "The King of Fun".
An ambulance responded to a call from Thompson's compound about 6pm yesterday. An hour later, his home on Woody Creek Road was sealed off by a sheriff's van. Shortly afterwards, counsellors arrived. An unidentified man told reporters: "There are a lot of hurt family members up there."
Thompson's death was announced by his son, Juan Thompson. "Hunter prized his privacy and we ask that his friends and admirers respect that privacy as well as that of his family," he said in a statement. Thompson's wife, Anita, was apparently not at home when the author took his life.
In 1977 - that is, almost 30 years ago, Thompson wrote in the introduction to The Great Shark Hunt (a collection of his journalism): "I have already lived and finished the life I planned to live."
Asked about that in 1990, he said: "I did assume, at that time,
early on, and shit, forever, that I would be dead very soon. I
never started any savings account. I just figured: "Bye, bye, Miss
American Pie, good old boys drinkin' whiskey and rye, singin'
this'll be the day that I die."
"Yeah," he said. "I just felt that all along."

Not unto us O Lord of heavenTune: GAIRNEY BRIDGE
Published in 9 hymnals
Printable scores: PDF, MusicXMLAudio files: MIDI, Recording
1 Not unto us, O LORD of heaven,
but unto you be glory given;
in love and truth you do fulfill
the counsels of your sovereign will.
Though nations fail your power to own,
you are the King you reign alone.
2 The idol gods of heathen lands
are but the work of human hands:
they cannot see, they cannot speak,
their ears are deaf, their hands are weak.
Like them shall be all those who hold
to gods of silver and of gold.
3 O Israel, trust in God alone,
the LORD, whose grace and power are known;
to him your full allegiance yield,
and he will be your help and shield.
All those who fear him God will bless;
his saints have proved his faithfulness.
4 All you that fear him and adore,
the LORD increase you more and more;
both great and small who God confess,
you and your children he will bless.
You all are blest by him who made
the heavens and earth's foundations laid.
5 The heavens are God's since time began,
but he has given the earth to man.
The dead praise not the living God,
but we will sound his praise abroad.
Yes, we will ever bless his name;
O praise the LORD, his praise proclaim.
Psalter Hymnal, 1987

|Not unto Us, O Lord of Heaven
A liturgy of praise including an exhortation to trust in the LORD, followed by a priestly benediction.
Scripture References:
st. 1 =vv. 1-3

Number five of the eight "hallelujah" psalms (111-118), 115 was probably composed by a priest or Levite as a liturgy of praise for temple worship. Some scholars suggest that it was originally used at the dedication of the second temple (Ezra 6:16) after the return from Babylonian exile. This psalm stands third in the "Egyptian Hallel" used in Jewish liturgy at the annual religious festivals prescribed in the Torah. At Passover, Psalms 113 and 114 were sung before the meal; 115 through 118 were sung after the meal. In this psalm many voices speak. Here is a probable scenario: vv. 1-8, 12-13, and 16-18–the people; vv. 9-11–the Levitical choir; vv. 14-15–a priest. The psalmist praises God for his love, faithfulness, and sovereign power (st. 1, 5). He belittles the idols of the nations (st. 2), exhorts Israel to trust in the LORD (st. 3), and pronounces a blessing upon God's people (st. 4). The (altered) versification is from the 1912 Psalter.
Liturgical Use:
Beginning of worship; profession of faith, ordination/ commissioning, marriage, and family services (st. 3-5).

Intriguing ambient piece
Like the transparency and punch of the mix. Could be much longer. Expertly put together. I especially enjoyed the first part without the snare drum - so many details that blend so well. The 'photo' is a bit scary though?
Check out my latest song called shake hands
|particledots said 1626 days ago (September 7th, 2013)
thanks Parichayaka
I think I got the lighting wrong on the picture
I also like the punch on this too...interestingly it sounds like this because I was unable to align the timing of the sequencer...the track started out with those ambient noise bursts...then the sparse bass was added....and I couldn't get the timing...I left logic running in 4/4 at the end buti tried changing it to 3/4, 12/8 and 6/8 to try to get it to 'skip along' with the track...in the end, I kind of liked the chaotic and sporadic drum hits, so I decided to leave it as is

the sun
is very harsh here
I hadn't realized it had affected my complexion so much till I saw this photo...I am now using aloe vera and lots of sun screan
funny that you mention it should be longer...I find myself doing more and more short bursts of ideas like this...partly because I am finding it hard to stay focused and interested enough to really develop stuff...but also because I keep visualizing many of these pieces I do as little interlinking segments of a bigger soundtrack/film/video experiment (which does not exist - yet)
Check out some of my other songs:
