About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Sherpa Recliner Cover by OakRidge Comforts™:
The material is so bad- you can see through it and the sherpa part is not hardly there. I would love to send it back, but the shipping will cost more than half of what I paid. I don't think I'll believe your advertising anymore.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Flimsy and impossible to use
By Barb
from San Diego, CA
I have a regular size recliner not oversized and this does not fit my recliner. I had to pay $10 to send back by parcel post. There was no way to connect the seat as I couldn't even get the straps under it since the seat of my recliner is connected directly to the chair. You can see through the material it is very flimsy. Very disappointed.

Worn out but loved recliner was instantly improved!
By Weegi
from Stanwood, WA
These covers are exactly what I was looking for. I have an undersized recliner and was looking for a way to protect it from my dog. They look good, too! The material is strong and dense and will last a long time. Thank you!

Recliner Cover
By Tru
from M H Ark
The product was as described. The fit was good. The set was brown as ordered and I received it on time. But I didn't realize the straps were going to be white. I think it would have looked better if the straps had also been brown. The white straps looks like suspenders on my recliners, So I just remove them when company comes. I would like to say that the product does keep my recliners safe from spills etc.
Didn't fit my chair
By rn4skins
from Mandeville, LA
I thought this cover would fit my recliner. But when it came it was too small to cover the recliner. I am using the leg cover and it work and feels great. I may be able to use it with some modifications. Should say "not for oversized recliners" in product description.

Are populist governments like Venezuela & Argentina turning pragmatic?
In some ways
At a fundamental level, the issue is how to generate healthy returns in the medium to long term. Policy holders can see their fund go down over the course of a week or a month, but what we really should be looking at is returns over 20 or 30 years.

URL: http://www.entrepreneur.com/answer/221549To start a business, it's a good idea to have at least six months of living expenses set aside (ideally, even more) so you have the time to get your company launched. It usually takes twice as much time and money as you think; so to minimize the risks, you may want to consider keeping your expenses lower as long as you can until your company starts making some money. Then move out.
Good luck!

Gift Guide: Chic Bowls (& Vases) Under $100
All I want for Christmas is a bowl. Or a vase. OK, OK. That's not all I want for Christmas (see Pinterest: Things I Must Have.) But I have to say, I don't think you can go wrong with gifting a sleek new bowl.
The right bowl or vase can add fresh color and a bright new look to your kitchen counter, a side table, your breakfast table, or a shelf. I have the modern bowls from West Elm in photo number one on a shelf next to my bed. (Conversation with myself at 3am, "If there is an earthquake, will the blue one crack my head open?") I've also been eyeing the gorgeous yellow and white Omaggio vase from Gretel Home since I discovered that sublime store. Bowls and vases for one and all. Happy gifting!
1. MODERNIST BOWLS from West Elm ($8 each)
2. Selene Bud Vase from Jonathan Adler ($68)
3. Large Omaggio Vase from Gretel Home ($98)
4. Striped Shallow Bowl from Owl Creek Ceramics ($22)
5. Two Tone Salad Bowl from French Bull ($24)
6. Linking Trellis Double Bulb Vase from Dwell Studio ($72.50)
7. Paper Maiche Bowl from Etco ($40)
8. La Rose Fruit Bowl from the MOMA Store ($80)

2 Comments
I agree, there is something irresistible about vases and bowls. Maybe the combination of sculptural qualities, lovely surfaces, and functionality... However, it IS possible to have too many, I am sad to say! (But that's what consignment shops and thrift stores are for!)
I love the papier mache bowl especially, and the West Elm ones in the first pic, too.
I love the idea of mix and match bowls, the ones from West Elm are perfect. Beautiful selection for this post!

Here are some of the latest health and medical news
developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
More Discharged Hospital Patients Require Home Care: U.S.
From 1997 to 2008, the number of U.S. patients who required home
health care after being released from hospital increased about 70
percent, from 2.3 million to four million, according to a federal
government report released Wednesday.
During the same time, the number of discharged hospital patients
who did not require home care grew by less than 8 percent, from 27
million to 29 million, according to the latest
News and Numbers from the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Among the other findings from the analysis of data from
Hawaii Happiest State: Survey
Hawaii is the happiest state, while West Virginia is the most
glum, according to a new U.S. telephone survey of 352,840 people
ages 18 and older.
The national poll, conducted between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2010,
found that 10 southern states were in the lower range of happiness,
while five western states were among the top 10 happiest,
Fox News reported.
The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being survey focused on six
categories of well-being: life evaluation; emotional health; work
environment; physical health; healthy behavior; and basic access
(access to health care, a doctor, safe places to exercise and walk,
and community satisfaction).
The top five happiest states were: Hawaii, Wyoming, North
Dakota, Alaska and Colorado. The five least happy states were West
Virginia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama,
Fox News reported.
Use of Pregnancy Hormone in Diet Program Causes Concern
U.S. health officials and some experts are concerned about the
popularity of a weight-loss regimen that combines daily injections
of the pregnancy hormone hCG and a near starvation diet.
Patients, mainly women, pay upward of $1,000 a month for a
consultation, a supply of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) and
the syringes needed to inject the hormone, but there is little
evidence that the regimen is effective,
The New York Times reported.
Many patients are told that the hCG will induce their bodies to
eliminate fat from areas such as the upper arms, bellies and
thighs. They're also told the hormone will prevent them from
feeling hungry or tired despite their low calorie intake.
The promotion of hCG as a diet tool is "manipulating people to
give them the sense that they're receiving something that's
powerful and potent and effective, and in fact, they're receiving
something that's nothing better than a placebo," Dr. Pieter Cohen,
a weight-loss supplement researcher and assistant professor at
Harvard Medical School, told
The Times.
Homeopathic forms of hCG, such as lozenges and sprays, that are
sold over the Internet and some health food stores are fraudulent
and illegal if they claim to promote weight-loss, says the Food and
Drug Administration.
The injectable, prescription form of hCG is approved as a
treatment for infertility and other uses, and it is legal for
doctors to prescribe it "off-label" for weight loss,
The Times reported.
However, hCG packaging must carry a warning that it has not been
shown to increase weight loss, does not cause a more "attractive"
distribution of fat, and does not "decrease hunger and discomfort"
from low-calorie diets.
In addition, the hormone carries risks of blood clots,
depression, headaches and breast tenderness or enlargement, FDA
spokesman Christopher Kelly told
The Times.

"This combination will allow us to better meet the needs of current customers and increase our ability to attract new customers," Kevin Freeland, Federal-Mogul Corp. co-CEO and CEO of its vehicle components segment, said in a statement on Wednesday.
The deal will give Federal-Mogul a wider range of wheel-end and steering products, including tie rods, ball joints, suspension and steering linkages, and alignment products. It will also be able to cover a greater portion of the U.S. car and pickup truck population, including foreign nameplates and heavy-duty applications.
Federal-Mogul said that it will still offer products through its Moog chassis components brand and will serve U.S. automotive aftermarket distributors and retailers with private label branded components.
Federal Mogul shares rose 12 cents to $19.80 in morning trading Wednesday.

He cooks – I'm the cleaner. It works great. Well, most of the time it works just fine. Then there are other times where I decide to align my actions with my ideas and purchase food from the local co-op. The product list causes me to salivate, even when the items are new to me and might sound boring to folks who don't geek out over local produce quite like I do.
When he cooks, he cooks by experience and instinct. He makes a lot of this and a lot of that, but it usually comes down to "meat, starch, vegetable." Right? Isn't that the County food equation?
His meat choices are beef, pork and bacon. Sometimes I can sneak chicken breasts in there. A couple of weeks ago, I really knocked him off balance. I bought chicken sausage. And rutabaga.
Neither of us had tried either of those two foods. Garlic and Herb Chicken Sausage appealed to me because it was already flavored, I love sausage, and my palate could use a distraction from red meat.
And rutabaga? Rutabaga is technically "in season" right now, meaning that, if you have a local farmer, producer or co-op selling you fresh vegetables, they're selling you something out of a greenhouse or something that's stored well since its harvest.
These gangsters of longevity come in many shapes and sizes and are often affectionately labeled "root vegetables" across the board, even though their individual tastes and looks are significantly unique.
I decided to help him along with this meal, even though I usually keep my expertise corralled inside the world of vinegar and baking soda and other natural cleaning products.
I said, "It'll be fine if we just pan-fry this chicken sausage and boil the rutabaga and mash it." I didn't say it at the time, but I could have clarified even further with: "Rutabaga is both the vegetable and the starch! Fancy!" (It's not often that I can use "Fancy" in a sentence.)
'It'll be fine that way' was my argument. And "it was fine that way" was my reward.
The sausage was flavorful and the rutabaga tasted much like a turnip. We just cooked the sausage through and added sour cream and butter to the mashed rutabaga (you could use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream if you wish. I've been eating quite a bit of Tide Mill Creamery Greek yogurt lately and it's my new favorite food.)
It was a cheap, hearty meal and it barely took two seconds of brainstorming to come up with it. I call that a win (I also call 'keeping my clothes dry while washing dishes' a win).
Do you have any other meal ideas that involve these ingredients? How about any simple pairings of protein and vegetable that are easy to prepare?

This week's focal point is fennel, originally from the Mediterranean also known as "the spice of angels."
There are two main types of this aromatic plant, wild and sweet, both with pale green celery-like stems and bright green feathery foliage.
Florence fennel, also called finocchio, is cultivated throughout the Mediterranean and the United States.
Both the base and the stems can be eaten raw in salads or cooked in a variety of ways, such as braising or sautéing.
The fragrant, graceful greenery can be used as a garnish or snipped like dill and used for a last minute flavor enhancer. This type of fennel is often mislabeled "sweet anise," causing those who don't like the flavor of licorice to avoid it. The flavor of fennel however is sweeter and more delicate than anise and when cooked, becomes even lighter and more elusive than its raw state.
Lemon fennel and sweet onion risotto
Makes six appetizer servings or four main dishes
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup sweet Vidalia onion, minced
4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1-pound Arborio rice
1/2-cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 quarts chicken stock
2 tablespoons fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons lemon zest
Salt and ground white pepper to taste
In a large, heavy saucepot, heat the oil over medium heat, add the onions and fennel and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon, until lightly brown. Add the thyme and garlic and cook for another 2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the rice and cook for another 8 minutes or until it turns milky white. Only stir once or twice during this time, lower heat if necessary, add the white wine and bring to a boil.
Cook for another 3 minutes until it is completely absorbed by the rice. Ladle 1 cup of chicken stock into the rice and cook until it has been absorbed and repeat this process 1 cup at a time for 15 minutes, stirring gently throughout.
At this point, go ahead and add the rest of the stock and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes. The rice should be firm, yet cooked through.
Season with salt and pepper, add the lemon zest and gently stir the butter into the risotto to enrich the flavor. Finish with parsley, spoon into warm bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy.
Tips and techniques
. Fennel is a great source of fiber and vitamin A, calcium, phosphorus and potassium.
. Bright green color indicates good quality in fennel seeds.
. Fennel is best from fall through spring. Choose clean, crisp bulbs with no sign of browning. Refrigerate in a plastic bag for up to five days.

I can just feel it. I saw glimpses of it last year. His numbers were pretty damn good. 4.9 ypc is fantastic . He's got gamebreaking stuff. He showed it last year. I think he'll put up 1300/ 10 td's.

I kind of disagree... I think the colts will be floundering to find an answer at RB and will probably end up starting Mawelde Moore before the end of the season
I think DB's issue has always been staying healthy. I agree, if he stays healthy, he's a decent back.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
I know one thing, he will get EVERY opportunity to have a great season. I'm not yet convinced he has it in him but I really hope he proves me wrong.
I just hope he stops forgetting that he does have to pass block occassionally.

"God damn it, Donald!!!"
It all depends on the offensive line. Running back is an overrated position. If Ijalana, Castonzo, Justice (ugh), Satele, and the other guys block well he'll do great. If not he'll be cut.
Lets hope for more of this!

I would just like to see him be consistently solid for a change. He is so frustrating because at times you see him be great and then other times he looks like he doesn't even belong on the field. I hope he has been working on pass blocking all offseason because god knows he is terrible at that.
He will need to have a good year with a rookie QB. The inconsistency could really kill us because the best friends for a rookie QB is a running game and a TE. Sadly we have big question marks in both areas.
With Luck in his first season, Brown will be utilized a lot.
Also, with Addai gone, he's the primary back. I think he'll have a better and more consistent season.
Donald Brown will be awful this year behind our oline. Not only will he fail miserably trying to block for Luck but he's going to get stuffed behind the line of scrimmage whenever he tries to run. I just don't see him doing much of anything over the next 8 years or so. The Colts should have kept Addai as he is the best blocking back in the league.
Brown will be awful behind this line and they can't play him in passing situations because he couldn't block your mother and Luck would be toast..... ... Shift+R improves the quality of this image. CTRL+F5 reloads the whole page.

Seriously I don't understand how some are upset at letting Garcon go. We got Wayne, our best receiver for something like 3 years/18M and Garcon got 5 years/43M. I'm no expert but the best receiver getting ~6M/year and a number 2 getting 8.6M/year doesn't make sense. I would love to have kept him here, but for that money, good freaking riddance.

Brown grew into a pretty damn solid blocker last year.
Far as his running, Brown's sort of Reggae Bush-lite, he needs to bounce it off the edge and make guys miss in space, and he's pretty good at that. The problem was Ryan Diem was our RT last year. I assume Winston Justice'll take his spot. Justice is basically just average, but that's a significant upgrade over what Diem became the last 2/3 years or so.

He may have improved last year but it's pretty hard for me to take much of anything from last year. I've mostly tried to block the whole season from my memory.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
Not to worry. When you watch this years team, it will be worse......
I didn't see his blocking improve. I saw blitzing linebackers run over him like a locamotive. He didn't offer even token resistance......
Addai was cut because he was injured and didn't pass the physical. It had nothing to do with how good he is. When he is healthy, someone will pick up a very good running back. The Colts cutting him doesn't mean anything. They cut everyone and replaced them with low budget castoffs to put more money in Irsay's pocket. Luck will pay the price for that getting hammered in the backfield....
If he didn't pass a physical for NE, how would he pass it for Indy? And therefore do any pass-blocking for Luck? Illogical, dude!
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
I agree with you if he was injured. I was talking about a healthy Addai and I had not read anything that indicated he was not healthy. I'm not sure it made any sense financially to bring him back to the Colts if was healthy. They are going to stink with or without him as they would with any running back in the NFL. They have no offensive line and the defense is going to give up 30 points per game and keep them in passing situations just about all of the time. So, the running backs won't get much work except to block.
USA Today has its AFC preview out today and the eight experts all have the Brocos in the playoffs either by winning the division or with the wild card. I thought it was interesting that the majority pick for offensive rookie of the year was RGIII and the other votes going to the highly drafted running back. Not one vote or mention of Luck. I just want to remind you all that Cam Newton came to a team that was just about as bad as the Colts and was rookie of the year and set passing records for a rookie. Why no love for Luck in this poll? He wasn't even mentioned. If he is the "All World" QB everyone hear claims, why wouldn't he do what what Newton did last year? I agree with them and I think RGIII will put enough distance between them stat wise over his first five years that Luck will never catch up. It will be hard for Luck to throw when he is under constant pressure from a leaky offensive line and running backs that can't pick off blitzing linebackers.... It is going to be very long season for Luck and he is going to be severely beaten up. I look forward to seeing how it all works out or does not work out. I am prepared and eager to dine on lots of crow if he does as well as some here predict......
Rotoworld cited an interesting stat: His 2011 yards-per-carry average of 4.81 drops to 4.25 if you exclude one run -- the 80-yard touchdown in Week 15 against the Titans. That said, I still think he can have a good year, so long as the O-line just its job.
You seriously don't get it, do you? The Colts are REBUILDING. You keep saying, "look, they're predicting the Broncos to be better than Indy" and "RG3 is predicted to have a better rookie season" ---- DUH man. Big fat hairy DUH. THose teams are not rebuilding. You seem upset that Indy decided to rebuild, which is sort of knowingly conceeding that you'll have a few poor seasons, with the objective that down the road you are in a better position to succeed than if you had not rebuilt from scratch
You do understand that concept right?
Of course the Broncos are projected to be in the playoffs --- they were a playoff team last year without Manning, and they just got a lot better at the QB position and they are NOT REBUILDING.
And as has been stated a million times before and you seem to be conveniently forgetting --- the 'Skins have a better team than Indy. Indy went 2-14 last year and then gutted their entire team and have like 26 rookies and another 57 guys who've never played in a regular season game. Luck has a lot more to overcome to throw up the stats that RG3 will likely throw up. RG3 has a lot more weapons around him that have some experience. The only experienced guy for Luck is Wayne. The rest are rookies or guys who don't have a lot of experience. So put "RG3 will have better stats" combined with "Skins will likely have a better record" and you get "RG3 is probly gonna Rookie of the Year". That does not mean he was the best long-term choice or the better player.
I feel like we're just repeating this over and over to you and it's not sinking in at all.
And the Colts themselves refuse to use the term rebuilding, but that is exactly what it is. It's a rebuild. That said, I don't think we'll be as bad as last year... but we will not be as good as Denver this year. Come back in 3-4 years and ask again. And Washington? Well, I wish I could say they will be better than Indy this year, but reality is, it's Washington we're talking about, who knows how that'll shake out.

Every fall, American Homebrew Association members team up with breweries from around the country to create homebrew recipes and enter them in the Great American Beer Festival Pro-Am Competition in Denver.
Around the same time, the winners of the Samuel Adams Longshot American Homebrew Contest are announced and soon after, the winning beers are brewed, bottled and made available nationally in the Samuel Adams Longshot variety six-pack.
Here in Atlanta, contests and collaborations between homebrewers and brewpubs are becoming more common, too, including a string of one-off guest brews at Five Seasons, Twain's Homebrew Challenge and the recent Max Lager's Challenge.
This month, Taco Mac locations around Atlanta are featuring Red Brick Cherry Chocolate Porter on draft. The beer was brewed by Atlanta's Red Brick Brewing Co. using a recipe from Woodstock homebrewer Bob Southard, who won Taco Mac's inaugural 2012 Southern Brewer's Challenge.
Southard is a real estate broker who's been homebrewing for more than 20 years. He started out with a kit he received as a Christmas gift from his brother.
"I still have most of the basic pieces from that kit, including the same plastic buckets," Southard said during a chat at Taco Mac at the Prado, where he was trying Red Brick Chocolate Cherry Porter for the first time.
Southard created the original porter recipe two years ago as a birthday present for his wife.
"My wife loves porters and stouts," Southard said. "And her favorite candy is chocolate-covered cherry cordials, so that was my inspiration. Red Brick had to change the recipe some to produce it on a larger scale. Still, I think it's pretty true to the original beer.
"The day they actually made the beer, my daughter and I went down to the brewery and helped out, which was a lot of fun. My biggest concern was that the cherry would be overdone. But they got that right and we wound up with a nice beer I think anybody could drink."
The Southern Brewer's Challenge was the brainchild of Taco Mac CEO Bob Campbell and several Red Brick reps, said Taco Mac beverage director Fred Crudder.
"The idea was for Taco Mac and Red Brick to do more volume business and more interesting business together," Crudder said. "Bob had always wanted to do a pro-am competition, so it was a win-win."
Another win-win was that Southard turned out to be a longtime Taco Mac customer and a loyal member of the bar's Brewniversity rewards program.
"When we were done with the judging, I thought to myself, 'I hope this guy's not a jerk,'" Crudder said with a laugh. "We got lucky there. But the judging was as blind as could be and we were really happy with the result. Now a local homebrewer has his beer on tap at 20-plus Taco Mac bars and that's going to make a lot of noise."
For his part, Southard is more than ready to be an ambassador for Cherry Chocolate Porter for as long as the limited edition beer is available.
"For me as a homebrewer, to brew a beer I can tell my friends and family is going to be sold at Taco Mac is like winning the Super Bowl," Southard said.
Look for another limited edition batch of Cherry Chocolate Porter on sale in bottles sometime in the spring to coincide with the announcement of the 2013 Southern Brewer's Challenge.

2 tech stocks explain this market
Investors see value in Hewlett-Packard and growth in ChannelAdvisor.
ChannelAdvisor (ECOM) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), the two standout names today, represent polar opposites, and yet both were up big Thursday, a phenomenon that explains a lot of this market's innate strength.
Most market participants thought that Hewlett-Packard would be a disaster, given the rapid secular decline of the personal computer and the hideous results of competitor Dell (DELL). Instead, we got the opposite, a totally solid positive-cash-flow quarter that showed a dramatic improvement in the balance sheet and a nice bump in the dividend.
None of this was expected. Consequently, Hewlett has rallied significantly, something that makes a ton of sense, because the issue of the company's viability, which was in question not that long ago, has been taken off the table entirely. CEO Meg Whitman has reined in expenses, improved supply-chain management and billing and is doing much more with far less.
All that said, though, the revenue for just about every single line item was horrendous, particularly personal computers, which were down 20%. I like the lineup of new personal computers, which includes new form factors with Android operating systems and ARM Holdings (ARMH) chips. Still, as David Faber stated this morning, there's no doubt that the personal computer market could be shrinking right before our eyes, with no conceivable turn in sight.
In short, Hewlett-Packard, a once-great growth company, is now a cash cow without the kind of sales boom that the market ultimately wants. Hewlett is a quintessential value play, and if we don't get world economic growth, it will be the quintessential value trap. We will look back and say it was down 44% in 2012 because it looked like the company was doomed but bounced back 40% for the year so far because it's not going out of business. Of course, a stock that plummets 44% and then rallies 40% is far from back to even, but it's still something worth writing home about.
ChannelAdvisor is the exact opposite of Hewlett-Packard. Here's a brand-new company, just came public, and it roared to an immediate premium. Unlike Hewlett-Packard, this company is losing money, and it states right in its offering document that it expects "our operating expenses to increase significantly in the foreseeable future which may make it more difficult to achieve profitability."
So why was it loved? Why did it go to a premium immediately? Because ChannelAdvisor has growth, specifically accelerating revenue growth, as it offers solutions to 27% of the top Internet retailers that help them get the most out of their ads on Google (GOOG), Groupon (GRPN), Yahoo (YHOO), Bing, eBay (EBAY) and Amazon.com (AMZN).
You want to see ChannelAdvisor's handiwork? Go to eBay's men's clothing section, as you might want to do for Father's Day. Then go to men's suits. Notice that Jos. A. Banks (JOSB) ad to the right, the one that's offering suits for as low as $99? That's ChannelAdvisor's client, which pays ChannelAdvisor a subscription fee to manage the ad and a revenue share if the sales perform above expectations.
It's a growth business. In fact, it is such a growth business that unlike Hewlett-Packard, which is returning its money to shareholders, it's seeking as much money as possible to be able to build up its sales force and build out its infrastructure to take advantage of the moment, as it is the dominant cloud play for retail sales.
Now I hope you recognize how a money-loser like ChannelAdvisor can roar on the same day as a moneymaker like Hewlett-Packard. It's all about growth and value, both of which satisfy the needs of today's bipolar investment styles.

I tend to agree that the PC is on it's way out for some folks. But, there will always be a demand for PCs from those who actually use them to do work. Try working with a spreadsheet that has hundreds of columns and rows on a tablet or a phone - it doesn't work. Hell, I have a hard time doing it on a laptop. I travel with a laptop and always bring along a regular mouse and full-sized keyboard. If I'm stuck working with a laptop keyboard and mousepad, it takes me twice as long to get stuff done - my fingers are too big and the keys are too small, plus there's no separate numeric keypad.
Still, as David Faber stated this morning, there's no doubt that the personal computer market could be shrinking right before our eyes, with no conceivable turn in sight.
Well, maybe desktop and classic notebooks but take a look at Lenovo which already restructured their products to include PC's like the Yoga 11s, Z400/500 and S310/410 and the K900 smart phone with Intel Inside. Lenovo's now the #2 PC, yes smart phones and tablets are PC's, in the world and the #2 smart phone vendor in China behind Samsung,
Oh, Lenovo's up 4% each of the last two days on their way to 21-22.
Are companies being run more efficently because of technology or are they being run into the ground? To what extent is training being enhanced in a more efficiently run business of today? Are more efficient business managers chopping the "goodness" folks get from their jobs? My question in regards the models prospering now in America are they long long term success or short term slash and burn models? I don't believe any new real technology or overwhelming innovations are at work in either of these companies, yet Jim describes them as indicators of the greater picture of what is contributing to the growth in this market. What exactly does that mean? I think the advancement of efficiency with these three "d" printers is more exciting for future profits than a more efficiently run PC maker or an Ad sales model. But lets face it, some business platforms are repetitive and boring for some, but the cats meow for another. Whatever your pleasure. And as long as folks have opportunities to have gainfull work we should all share in supporting their success.

Considering how much HP charges for ink and their slave labor costs overseas, how can they fail so badly? Like others, not familiar at all with ChannelAdvisors. Weary of new pump and dump bubble stocks.
Buyers have being chasing anything with a tail that moves. They are now in Record territory concerning Buying Stocks on Margin to do so. April sets a record, over $384 Billion. The last two bear Markets occurred when Buying on Margin set records. Any bets to if this will be any different?
The PC business has been consolidating for years...They that Market best or have user friendliest products seem to be winning the game...
Wasn't only 2-3 Decades ago we had dozens or maybe just a dozen of Manufactures?..Today..?
In the Tablet or Phone handheld's World of today, you have essentially the same type of line-up.
I would agree that ChanAd....Is nothing but a Marketeer to the Marketeers....
Another out of House or similar Off shore Solution Group...?

Why have a full-time dept. of people to shuffle things around or devise ideas..,
When you can contract outside or use when needed?
And the Core Company is left to do what they do best, in an expedient process.
It seem's that it is about cost savings at some level and adding to revenues.?
Never heard of (ECOM) either until today..
Sorry Crazy,
Don't seem to be Freeriding Liberal Commies...That"are" the biggest takers or non-givers to America.
According to newest study or poll...."Actually" who the CHECKS are written to..
Surprise,surprise it's the Obese, or Fat-azz Conservatives, Lazy, Republicans in the RED STATES.
No wonder they are scared, hate or are racist against Obama, they are afraid their "free benefits" will be cut off...They are just user's of the system..
If the "hardworking liberal Democrats" ever stop working, these "freeloaders" will starve to death.
I was going to save this for 2014 but I am sure there will be more by then:
One quick question before I go and make a last final tour looking for Mushrooms..Seasons over.
"New word" cropping up in "financial speak" looks like Twitterease or kind of stupid to me, because it's used in different types of context...
The word or abbreviate is "COMPS"....But it is used in various ways that don't make sense sometimes, except to maybe someone that is 25, working on Wall St.?
Maybe it means "comparables" but isn't always used correctly, at least not from my viewpoint.
Off to the Woods...
BTW....Last night came home with about an extra $125 from Casino, and another Tom Collins glass(building a set of 12) free gratis. Miss Lilly dropped about $30..
We both had comp or free play of about $50 bucks each..
Dropped a little on slots, even w/free play..( I don't like slots that much) She won.
Made $25 on Roulette, betting only red....She lost on black...I didn't play Black 17. Like 35 too.
Mississippi Stud Poker...Made some bucks there.
BlackJack(21) added a small amount to the booty.
And stayed about even on 3-Card Poker...
Diversified last night and play everything....An enjoyable night for me.

Looking for phones? CNET's reviews of the best phones include photos, video, and user reviews.
It can't compete with the One M8's premium metal skin, but the HTC Butterfly 2's powerful camera and processor make it one of the company's best flagship phones.
Pricing not available
While Fujifilm hasn't changed much about the inside of the X20, its successor does gain some nice features.
Despite small annoyances, the Sony Alpha 6000 is a great overall camera for more advanced photographers who want something smaller than a dSLR, especially if they need the continuous- shooting speed.
The Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 delivers the app and connectivity options of your smartphone, but with the shooting flexibility of a long zoom lens.
The company's new camera is intended to give casual photographers better photo quality than a phone, but interchangeable lenses may not be the way to go.
The Olympus Stylus XZ-2 iHS is an excellent bright lens enthusiast compact. At this point, though, you should skip it at its full $600 price.
The Samsung Smart Camera WB350F is a good package if you want to add an affordable long-zoom point-and-shoot to supplement your smartphone photography.
The SwannSecure WiFi security cam boasts accessibility, but an unnecessary tablet accessory makes the package overpriced.
The company adds a fifth ILC under $600.
With its swiveling camera mount and high tech specs, the Oppo N1 is easily today's most innovative smartphone that most people haven't heard of.

BBC America will be airing the premiere of Doctor Who "The Doctor's Wife" at 9p EDT and 6p PDT. This means that EVERYONE CAN HANG OUT WITH US ON TUMBLR AT THE SAME TIME!!!ALLCAPS!!
Even so, we're going to still livetumbl the 9p PDT showing and we're going to like it.
We made the mistake of assuming that time zones were a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear network television viewpoint, it's more like a big bowl of wibbly wobbly timey wimey…. Oh, you know.
Thx for the heads up, Brianna!

Building a RSS Feed Processor With Redis
A complete example of how prioritization of queues in BLPOP works:
In this post, I am going to use Redis' atomic and blocking facilities to build a multi-step RSS feed processor. Along the way, some of the topics I hope to touch upon are: queue priorization, synchronization between processes, using redis to gracefully shutdown processes and a few race conditions to watch out for.

CHANDLER, Ariz. (AP) - A Chandler woman is in custody for allegedly having marijuana mailed to her condominium where she lives with two young children.
Chandler police say 21-year-old Honnah Michelle Deal is being held on suspicion of drug possession, marijuana possession for sale and child abuse.
She doesn't have a lawyer yet.
Deal was arrested Wednesday following an investigation started by a postal inspector.
The postal inspector told police that two packages to be delivered to a Chandler address smelled of marijuana.
Police say a search warrant was served on the condo and officers reported finding 4 pounds of marijuana and numerous items of drug paraphernalia.
Two children - ages 5 months and 18 months - were found inside the condo. Police say they've been turned over to state Child Protective Services.

WAKEFIELD, Va. -- When Democratic Sen. Mark Warner ventured onstage Wednesday at a festive fish-smoke in the Virginia woods, he was well aware he was in the minority.
The annual Shad Planking, a culinarily perplexing but well-loved Virginia political tradition, has welcomed lawmakers and candidates of both political parties for decades, to take the stage with light-hearted self-mockery.
The crowd at the rural event, held in a nondescript pine clearing, has trended more Republican in recent years. Although Democrats still hold the top offices in Virginia, so, too, has the state's political landscape been shifting to favor Republicans — which is exactly the problem Warner expects to face, and hopes to tackle, as he runs for re-election in this challenging midterm election cycle.
"Looking at this crowd, I realize I am here as an endangered species," said Warner, a 25-year veteran of the Shad Planking. "A Virginia Democrat."
The uneven demographics were clear as Warner smiled and shook hands at intervals with Republican former Lt. Gov. John Hager, Virginia GOP Chairman Chair Pat Mullins, and Warner's likely general election challenger, former Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie.
Gillespie's and Warner's first face-to-face meeting as campaign-trail foes lasted just a minute before, with a handshake and smiles, the men walked on, sign-wielding aides trailing close behind.
The broader tone of the afternoon was less cordial. Gillespie's campaign decided to forego the tradition of staking signs along the gravel road to the planking, but the Virginia Republican Party posted large-scale ones of its own. "Mark Warner betrayed Virginia," the signs read. "Obamacare's deciding vote."
As in other battleground Senate races in 2014, the federal health care law promises to be a marquee issue in Virginia. And Wednesday, Warner faced some Virginians vocally angered by his support for Obamacare and some of President Obama's other policies.
"Y'all watch that guy, he'll lie to you now!" yelled one man standing near Warner, as the senator signed a souvenir hat for a supporter. But Warner left the event unfazed.
"There's no part of Virginia that I don't have friends in and want to defend my record in," Warner told reporters. When asked whether he would welcome Obama on the campaign trail, however, Warner dodged the question.
Few people come to the Shad Planking year after year for the fish. Schmoozing with candidates can be a draw, or the free beer. But shad is bony and oily; even smoked on a plank for six to eight hours before being smothered in a butter-based sauce, it is palatable at best.
If the fish is bland; however, the politics aren't. The Shad Planking has long been an important Virginia political event, and within the past decade, organizers began awarding speaking slots to candidates as well as sitting elected officials, who had traditionally held the floor — making the rite of spring a freewheeling kickoff to the campaign season, too.
A few Democrats have in the past declined to keynote the Republican-leaning event, including Creigh Deeds and Sen. Tim Kaine. Gov. Terry McAuliffe has spoken before, in 2009, but turned down an invitation to speak last year when he was running for governor.
This year, however, it was not a Democrat who was notably absent from the stage, but Gillespie, who was not invited to make remarks.
"Some people said, 'Why not let Ed Gillespie speak?'" said Robert Bain, the event's chairman. "But he's not the party's nominated candidate yet."
Gillespie, who for the bulk of his storied career behind the scenes in politics has moved from one victory to another, is expected to win his party's nomination at a convention in Roanoke in June, but he is still decidedly an underdog against Warner. In most public polls, Warner has led Gillespie by double digits.
Gillespie also faces a fundraising disadvantage against Warner, who raised $2.7 million in March and finished the month having amassed $8.8 million on hand. Gillespie, for his part, brought in a respectable $2.2 million, but roughly 40 percent of that money came from donors outside of Virginia.
"This is going to be an expensive race," Gillespie told reporters Wednesday. "You've got to draw resources from everywhere."
Including from the Shad Planking crowd, to whom Gillespie's campaign only offered beer once supporters had relinquished their valuable phone numbers and email addresses.
For Gillespie, a first-time candidate, it was also a first time at the Shad Planking, where nearly everyone has an opinion of the signature fare — except Gillespie, who had never tasted shad of any kind and didn't know if he would like it.
"I'll tell you in about two hours," Gillespie said at the pre-shad reception. He paused, considering that response, before he added, "And, by the way, the answer will be, 'Yes.' I'm a first-time candidate, but I'm not new at this."
