Dissecting Debt
By Rupert Hargreaves - August 14, 2013 | Tickers: AMD, CL, WIN
Debt can be toxic and helpful. There is nothing wrong with using leverage to improve returns, as long as this leverage is sustainable. Foolish investors should avoid investing in companies with lots of debt as they can be very dangerous. However, if a company's debt is sustainable, and it has only borrowed heavily to increase returns then investors can rest easy.
So, here I am going to dissect the more »

These Tech Firms Should Proceed with Caution
By Phillip Woolgar - August 5, 2013 | Tickers: ARUN, SBAC, WIN
Technology firms are among the most competitive stocks to own. That competition has many of these businesses making acquisitions in an effort to stay ahead of the game. Too much growth can negatively affect a company's returns to investors, since dipping into cash flow takes its toll on the company's earnings per share and dividends. The following three companies represent businesses that are expanding, but knowing which firms more »

This High Yielding Telecom Company Has Good Growth Prospects
By Piyush Arora - June 13, 2013 | Tickers: CTL, VZ, WIN
A company with consistent cash flow and stable dividend payouts usually makes it to most of the income portfolios. It earns a reputation of sustainable payouts, and the Street loves the company for it. But when the same company announces a dividend cut, the Street punishes it severely. Such has been the case with CenturyLink (NYSE: CTL), which witnessed a 23% plunge in its share price shortly after management announced more »
This Stock Is Cheaper and Safer than Its Peers
By Mark Lin - June 12, 2013 | Tickers: ELNK, TWTC, WIN
In recent years, I have seen a trend of analysts shunning asset–heavy stocks for their more efficient counterparts. However, investors should not confuse capital inefficiencies with competitive advantages derived from assets. Asset intensive companies also typically face less threats from substitute products and the entry of new competitors. EarthLink (NASDAQ: ELNK), a domestic IT services, network and communications company, belongs to this category of companies with a significant network more »
Avoid these Two Giants, but Buy Wal-Mart

With interest rates near zero, investors have been desperately seeking strong yields. Investors are moving toward high-yielding stocks as an alternative to bonds, but they need to do in-depth research before initiating any position in any stocks. The recent plunge in the economy as well as new emerging markets have forced many companies to cut or sustain similar dividends. These cuts in dividends mean that companies are not able to more »
How Safe are the Three Largest Dividend Yields in the S&P 500?
By Rupert Hargreaves - June 6, 2013 | Tickers: CTL, FTR, WIN
The benefits of dividend investing are well known.
Companies with high dividend yields can offer both protection and support in any market environment. In a falling market solid dividends can reduce a portfolio's losses and in a rising market, such as today's, a strong yield can be used to improve performance and offset inflation while interest rates are low.
The question is, can the largest dividend yields in more »

I Wish it Were Simple
By Chad Henage - May 25, 2013 | Tickers: CTL, FTR, VZ, WIN
Sometimes it's hard to know whether to hold a stock, buy more, or sell it. You have to look at the company's performance, remind yourself of why you bought the stock in the first place, and then see if anything has materially changed. This is sort of where I am with CenturyLink (NYSE: CTL). On the one hand, the company had to cut its dividend, but they also more »

When I look at an earnings report, I'm usually trying to find some positives and negatives that I can take away. Ideally the report would confirm the company outperforming their peers across the board and showing good growth.

5 Signs This Business Is Slowly Dying

Sometimes picking stocks comes down to avoiding a "too good to be true" scenario. Investors in Windstream (NASDAQ: WIN) need a little reality check. The stock's current yield of 11.43% looks very appealing, but a good yield in a dying business is a sure recipe for disaster.

I don't know about them being cheap, kidee cars though. Lots of models over the years from BMW have been great. If you don't think the E46 M3 or the E39 M5 is not a real car, well, then, I'll probably just save my breath...
Curious as to what you consider a real car in that 35k-100k price range. You posted a pic of a Bugatti and Aston, which are nowhere near the same ball park.
To keep it on topic, here's a pic of a LSB E46 M3. Not sure if I'd feel like an attention whore after a week of owning it, but I love this paint job. If I could find one with low-mileage, manual not that god-awful smg, and in LSB I'd probably buy it on the spot as a weekend driver. I am a Porsche guy, but BMW makes some very, very respectable and "real" cars. http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/5108/5mm.jpg I was about 10 minutes away from pulling the trigger on a ZCP Laguna Seca e46 M3 about 5 years ago . It was fully certified Dinan (28 point) ISS up-tuned and had Flossman Initial GTR Wide Body conversion. It was f***ing GORGEOUS. LSB all around with the WB flares, CF hood, CF Roof and CF Boot lid being flat black. It was 490-ish bhp and was/is the fastest car (0-60: 4.18s/ .25m: 11.29s @127mph), off the line Ive ever driven. It was just a nasty, nasty car.
I walked away from the deal because the boat I'd really, really wanted became available at the price I asked for. Plus my wife was like "WTF"? when she saw it. :)

General Motors ' quick and sudden move to give Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Gallaraga a Chevrolet Corvette convertible cost them $53,000. However, despite giving away the car for nary a penny, GM is still all smiles about the whole thing.
Proving that they're also shrewd businessmen, General Motors made a calculated decision of giving Gallaraga the Corvette, not just because they wanted to reward the man who lost out on a perfect game because of an errant call by an umpire, but also because they thought that by doing so, the media mileage behind that story would've made everything worth it. Turns out, the gamble paid off. Big time.
According to Joyce Julis & Associates, a Michigan-based firm that deals with stuff involving sponsorships and their public reach, GM's give-away of the Corvette to Gallaraga netted them a ton of media coverage, thanks in large part to how big the whole story became. JJ&A estimates that the media mileage GM received was equivalent to that of $9 million, which in case you're wondering is a far cry from the $53,000 Corvette they gave away.
That was some grade A, top notch business sense.

Square Enix, the makers of Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts and Dragon Quest, look set to end their exclusive deal with Sony, preferring to produce their games for Xbox 360, Revolution and PS3.
Square Enix president Yoichi Wada has hinted that since the next round of the console war won't be dominated by one machine, his company need to sell their titles on as many formats as possible.
Speaking to Japanese newspaper Mainichi Daily News, he said: "The market for next generation game consoles will be divided into 'high end' and 'low end' according to the wishes of users, so rather than one type of hardware surging ahead, the share will be divided between various game consoles."
Square had previously announced that will appear on Xbox 360, but the intention to publish their hugely popular RPGs on all the next-gen consoles is a major surprise for fans and a huge boost for Nintendo and Microsoft.
Final Fantasy XI is already out on PC and should appear on Xbox 360 and PS2 later this year

Stocks pushed higher Tuesday, with traders pointing to a slow but steady stream of new money heading into the market and lifting prices as first quarter earnings season gets under way.
Stocks held gains ahead of the closing bell, putting the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index on pace for its first back-to-back gains since mid-March, as investors eyed the start of earnings season and firm economic readings from overseas. Michael Casey reports.
The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index added 5.54 points, or 0.4%, to 1568.61, capping its first two-session streak of gains since mid-March. The benchmark had alternated between daily advances and losses the past 13 sessions, the longest such zigzagging stretch on record.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 59.98 points, or 0.4%, to 14673.46. The Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 15.61 points, or 0.5%, to 3237.86.
"The general theme is one of cautious optimism," said Daniel McMahon, director of equity trading at Raymond James Associates Inc.
"People have been treading water, looking for opportunities to add stocks while we wait for the next catalyst," said Mr. McMahon. "Everyone's calling for a correction or pullback, but any pullback has been met with bids."
Money heading in the doors of mutual funds that invest in U.S. stocks, and the fading concerns over potential trouble-spots such as the Cypriot banking bailout and Washington's budget debate, have made portfolio managers more active in shifting positions, said Tom Carter, a Los Angeles-based managing director at brokerage firm JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC.
"The dissipation of these macro headwinds has had a big impact," Mr. Carter said. "Individual investors have decided, 'Hey, maybe I should get involved with stocks.'" That, he says, has been a key part of the lift to stock prices since the start of the year.

Analysts' low expectations for first-quarter profits have many investors thinking companies will once again beat expectations, bolstering share prices, said Terry Sandven, chief equity strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, which manages $110 billion in assets.
Meanwhile, valuations across the stock market are reasonable and stocks are offering better yields than can be found on government bonds, Mr. Sandven noted. As a result, "you've got a market that is in slow growth mode, and in the absence of attractive alternatives," money is heading into stocks, he said.
Alcoa's shares were unchanged after the aluminum producer reported a quarterly profit that topped analysts' estimates, but revenue that fell more than expected.

text: Here is a true story based on the amazing adventures of Captain Luke Ryan - Irish swashbuckler, American patriot, mariner extraordinaire and Benjamin Franklin's most dangerous privateer... It is an epic story about war, heroism, love, intrigue and betrayal spanning a period from the American Revolution, to the French Revolution, and through the rise of Napoleon. The year is 1778 and as the brutal war between the American Colonies and Great Britain drags on, a 25 year old Irishman named Luke Ryan is the master of the fastest ship on the water, the Black Prince, and runs a very profitable smuggling trade between Dunkirk and Dublin. He and his men are indifferent to the war until one day the British seize his ship and throw his men into Dublin's Black Dog. Ryan is ruined but concocts a bold plan to break his men out of jail and to retake his ship and when his plan succeeds, the Irishmen, now fugitives and with prices on their heads, set sail for France to offer their services to an American named Benjamin Franklin... The story is told in three books: Gather the Shadowmen (The Lords of the Ocean), Prince of the Atlantic and Napoleon's Gold (which can be read in or out of sequence).

The great debate
Butter Vs. Margarine
If I had a nickel for every time someone asked me which was healthier, butter or margarine..I'd be rich. It's as if no one accepts, "neither are good, so why ask!"
You can make arguements for both sides. Butter contains cholesterol and a high amount of saturated fat, thus making it a poor choice if you don't like plaque in your arteries. However, most margarines contain an even worse fat (IMHO), trans-fats. So it boils down to reading labels. Choose a spread that is low in saturated fats, and does not contain trans-fats. We all enjoy the taste of butter, spread on a warm, lightly toasted bagel. But you can also get used to the taste of healthier spreads. I like Canola Harvest spread, or Benecol or Take Control. We also like the "I can't beleive it's not butter", spray.
I found some delicious whole wheat french bread at Albertsons to include with our spaghetti dinner. A small spread of canola harvest (tastes like butter but isn't) and a shake of parmesan. We toasted it in the oven, and the kids devoured it. Cereal boy was really excited when I let him have the last piece of bread. Whatever makes you happy boy!

Stories by Kate Dailey
United States HIV Travel Ban Overturned7/18/08 at 8:00 PMUntil recently, the United States was one of just a dozen nations that still barred HIV-positive foreigners from entering the country. The U.S. rule—passed in 1993 when the virus carried a heavy stigma—meant that to get into the States, HIV-positive tourists had to lie about their health and hope Customs didn't find AIDS drugs in their luggage. And such measures didn't help those seeking work permits or citizenship (a positive result on a mandatory HIV test usually nixed hopes of a visa).The ban became increasingly awkward as the U.S. positioned itself as a world leader on HIV aid. Now, a $50 billion AIDS package passed in the Senate last week will rectify matters. Once enacted, the plan will ensure that HIV-positive travelers are treated in the same manner as tourists with other communicable diseases: the CDC, not Congress, will decide whether HIV is a current public health threat, and monitor travel accordingly. One hypocrisy down—will the next one please step up?

"One of our tipsters got kicked from Butchers of Azeroth on Norgannon for raiding out-of-guild. Apparently he showed up late to a guild one night (half an hour to an hour late), and didn't bother asking for an invite, since the raid was already on. But when he then joined a PuG for two bosses (since he figured his guild's train had already left the station for that week), and had an achievement pop up, he got a /gkick and even an /ignore. Harsh? No? Sure, he probably should have showed up for the raid, but it also sounds like he didn't know the rules were so strict, which the guild maybe should have told him ahead of time."
That happened in a guild I was in recently. Someone was late logging on due to work commitments, missed the start of a planned raid and ended up doing a pug instead. When an achievement he'd done flashed up on screen, instead of the usual round of "gz" and "cheers" and "well done", the guild leader swore at him over Vent and kicked him from the guild and then threatened to kick anyone who re-invited him.

Making preparations in advance is a must when applying for a business loan. In a recent article in the Florida Business Observer, Cheryl O'Neill Gowen outlines five steps a business owner should take when applying for a business loan.
Partner with a bank that takes the time to know you, your business, your industry and can offer the type of loan that's right for you. The types of documents you'll need to provide to a bank are tax returns, P&L statements and financial statements. Also, make sure you know your credit score and prepare a compelling story about your business. Finally, set realistic expectations for yourself and the process because the loan process demands time and patience.
"Another thing to consider when looking to start or expand your business, is to forge a relationship with a local banker. Having a banker who understands your needs and future goals will help in the long run rather than selecting a bank simply based on rate or proximity to your location," said David Gordley, IBERIABANK Market President for Naples. "Business plans, tax returns and financial statements are all important tools for obtaining a loan, but a strong relationship helps to ensure a smooth process."

4-Day London Tour: City Highlights by Vintage Bus plus Stonehenge and Bath Day Trip
- Location: London, United Kingdom
- Duration: 4 days (approx.)
- 4-day tour of London with three nights at the 5-star Grange Tower Bridge Hotel
- Take a sightseeing tour by vintage double-decker bus
- See top London attractions like Big Ben, the Tower of London and St Paul's Cathedral
- Enjoy a River Thames sightseeing cruise and then watch the Changing of the Guard ceremony outside Buckingham Palace
- Walk around UNESCO-listed Stonehenge circle in Wiltshire
- Three nights of accommodation in the 5-star Grange Tower hotel included
What You Can Expect
After checking into your hotel in the afternoon, the rest of the day is yours to spend at leisure. See the sights around Tower Bridge, stroll along the embankment of the River Thames or relax in your hotel.
Overnight: 5-star Grange Tower Bridge Hotel in London
Day 2: London (B)
Savor a delicious hotel breakfast and then meet your guide for a 4-hour sightseeing tour around London by vintage double-decker bus -- owned by the classic British store, Harrods. On a route around central London, watch out for top city attractions like Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square, and, of course, Buckingham Palace – home of the Queen. Listen to details of each site's history from your guide and then stop for photos by Westminster Abbey.
Passing St Paul's Cathedral hear about the important services that have taken place in the beautiful Baroque cathedral, like the funeral of Sir Winston Churchill and the wedding of Lady Diana to Prince Charles. Hop off the bus at Tower of London for a photo outside this formidable-looking monument and then hop aboard your River Thames sightseeing boat for a cruise to Westminster. Pass under London Bridge and look out for Shakespeare's Globe Theatre on the way.
Head to Buckingham Palace to see the famous Changing of the Guard ceremony from outside the palace gates. In time to drumbeats from a military band, soldiers from the Queen's Foot Guard march to Buckingham Palace in their eye-catching red tunics and bearskin hats.
Watch this much-loved ceremony, and then travel by coach to Harrods in Knightsbridge, where your tour ends and you can either shop or browse at leisure. Operating in the same location since the 1800s, the impressive store remains unequalled as the must-visit shop in London, offering both first-rate service and an extensive product range. Then spend an evening in London at your leisure.
Overnight: 5-star Grange Tower Bridge Hotel in London
Day 3: London -- Stonehenge – Bath (B)
Enjoy an early breakfast, and then leave London by luxury coach on a journey into Wiltshire countryside to see Stonehenge. After traveling for just under two hours, arrive at Salisbury Plain where the ever-fascinating stone circle is located.
Your guide will give you the ticket to enter and, you'll enjoy most of the morning at leisure here. Walk around the intriguing UNESCO-listed monolithic stones, pondering the mysteries that surround them. How did they get there? Was the circle built as a Pagan shrine or a dynasty's burial site? An audio guide is available for you to purchase should you wish to hear of Stonehenge's history while walking around.
The spa town of Bath is a short drive from Stonehenge and the next stop on your tour, where you'll spend the afternoon exploring independently. Walk around at leisure, admiring the city's Georgian architecture -- built from sandy colored local stone -- and walk across Pulteney Bridge. Perhaps visit the Roman Baths, or discover the Jane Austen Centre -- dedicated to the popular English novelist. All attractions are payable at your own expense. After seeing Bath's highlights independently, return to your London by coach and spend our evening at leisure.
Overnight: 5-star Grange Tower Bridge Hotel in London
Day 4: London (B)
After breakfast make the most of the last morning of your tour in London. Perhaps shop for souvenirs, sightsee independently, or enjoy the hotel's swimming pool before checking out in the afternoon.

This conversation is closed.
Changing the U.S.A.'s focus from militarism to humanitarian efforts and social projects.
Please read and please continue to add to the idea.
Since the end of the Cold War, the U.S.A. has been the world's only "superpower". We have since then maintained the largest peace time military budget this world has ever seen. Today politicians argue about what programs should be cut and which should have less funding. From the perspective of an 18 year old student from Wisconsin I have come to the conclusion that it is time for us to end our reign as world's largest military budget and instead focus on things that matter.
You may ask," What matters?" My answer would be you. You matter and because you matter, that is what we should focus on. We should give a truly universal health care system in this country, equalize the wealth disparity (I'm not saying eliminate it, just prevent there from being a 40 billionaire and 10 dollar person in this country at the same time), and then lead the world in humanitarian aid in the rest of the world (I know that we already donate a ton but we can do more).
I ask you why not do something completely radical for a change! Instead of taxpayer money going to a million dollar missile, we pay for 10000 trees to be planted. Instead of a new war, we start a new railroad system. Instead of a culture of militarism, we create a culture of filled with humanitarians.
Thank you to all who read this and please be thoughtful with any suggestions or comments.

Sep 1 2011: Without getting into a semantic discussion on "focus" I think an argument can be made that a review of DOD spending may be sensible.
Is there now a 21st century paradigm shift in play as manifest by the recent Arab Spring & as seen by the work of the Global Peace Initiative, e.g? I think it is worth a discussion & could & perhaps should be recognized & addressed as part of any collectively governing body's decision making.
Wouldn't a present day more comprehensive defense strategy be one that attacks the issue from both sides? Meaning to plan its workings more comprehensively, proactively, in serving also to help establish peace?
Call it comprehensively applied defense & that initiative centralized through a Dept of Peace, just as some of the founding fathers, & one in particular, wanted right from the beginning.
With such an initiative a very significant amount of money can be saved & applied to the humanitarian concerns as Luke suggests.
Humanitarian concerns might also bring a review of foreign aid where, among other obvious considerations, Trade vs. Aid initiatives should be considered which would be overall considerably less costly & foster considerably better feelings towards our country.
Just a thought - the State Department receives fifty-four billion dollars & the Department of Defense five hundred and eighty-three billion dollars, whereas, while bills for a US Dept of Peace are stalled presently in Congress (while there are numerous bi-partisan co-sponsors in both the House & the Senate), in February 2011 Congress cut off all funding for the US Institute of Peace (a bipartisan institute started under Ronald Reagan) which was funded at a mere forty-four million dollars…
More discussion can be found in the media platforms for our in post-production movie at www.facebook.com/Thecongressmansdinner & www.Thecongressmansdinner.com. I am certainly open to all ideas & initiatives & welcome all participation. Thanks, Bob

This is so deep I'm gonna reevaluate my life
8 month transformation, 25 pounds lost. Im not where I want to be but Im happy to see progress. I am no longer embarrassed to look at myself in the mirror. Yes I am embarrassed to post my before picture, but I realize that that is not who I am and I have worked to hard to feel and look better.
The before picture is from my 20th birthday (I turn 23 next month), and I have to say the most important thing my 20s have taught me so far is how to properly take care of myself, both physically and mentally. I learned just how important eating nutritious food is for your body, both inside and out. I learned that while I may not be coordinated enough for sports, I'm pretty athletic and enjoy things like running and lifting weights. I learned that there is no need to keep people in your life who only add drama and negativity and don't support you. I learned that there are going to be tough times, that's life, but those tough times will pass and getting through them is easier with a positive attitude. Most importantly I learned that you really need to love yourself, no matter what shape or size you may be, because at the end of the day you're gonna be stuck with yourself for the rest of your life so you may as well be your own best friend and someone you can be proud of.
OK this is kind of embarrassing. The 1st pic is when I weighed over 200lbs. The second pic is a recent one (taken 5/29/14).This is a great reminder of how far I have come.
Dear Future Me,
I hope you are having an amazing time raising your daughter and enjoying whatever life is handing you. I hope you are doing what makes you happy and what benefits you AND baby ♡♥ Keep your head up and keep growing. ♡♥

1. Slash Medicaid, a Lifeline for Families Across the Country
Right now 60 million Americans, including 21 million low-income women, rely on Medicaid for basic health care. For women, Medicaid means the difference between getting cancer screenings and birth control or going without. In fact, one in ten women of reproductive age relies on Medicaid for her health care needs. But Paul Ryan (R-WI) and other Republicans want to take away this essential coverage from millions of people.
Currently, Medicaid protects women's access to family planning by ensuring coverage and giving women the ability to choose their own health care provider. The Ryan Republican plan would fundamentally change the program, and many women would lose access to these important benefits. Fifty percent of Planned Parenthood health center visits are paid for by Medicaid to access lifesaving breast and cervical cancer screenings, well woman exams, and birth control. For our patients and for all women and families, we are fighting back.
2. Prevent access to birth control and cancer screenings by trying to prohibit Planned Parenthood from participating in public health programs
"Planned Parenthood. We're going to get rid of that." On March 13, in his own words, Mitt Romney plainly stated he wants to take birth control and cancer screenings away from millions of women. This far right position has been echoed by other opponents of women's health who would also bar Planned Parenthood from participating in federal programs like Medicaid. They would rather deny preventive health care, including birth control, lifesaving cancer screenings, annual exams, and STD testing and treatment, than allow Planned Parenthood to receive federal funding.
3. Eliminate the Title X Family Planning Program
Title X is America's leading family planning program, providing access to birth control, cancer screenings, STD screenings, and other health care services to over five million low-income women and men each year in more than 4,500 health centers. In every state, women and men rely on Title X for basic primary and preventive health care. Planned Parenthood is a proud partner of the Title X program, providing care to 1.7 million people — one-third of Title X's patients. But Congressman (and Senate candidate) Denny Rehberg (R-MT), Mitt Romney, and other extreme candidates want to eliminate Title X family planning, arguing that it will reduce the national deficit. Setting aside the fact that Title X represents about 0.01 percent of the budget, opponents have a bigger problem with this push — it won't actually reduce the deficit at all. For every dollar invested in family planning programs, the government saves $3.74. This is an ideological agenda wrapped in bad policy.
4. Repeal the Affordable Care Act
Romney, along with Ryan, wants to repeal the groundbreaking health care reform law, which was the single biggest advancement in women's health in a generation. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires insurance coverage for preventive services like mammograms, cancer screenings, and birth control, with no co-pays. Unfortunately, Romney wants to go back to the days when insurance companies discriminated against women, such as charging women higher premiums and denying coverage based on "pre-existing conditions" that could include breast cancer or even pregnancy. The ACA protects women from these bad practices, guarantees women's access to ob/gyns, and expands coverage for 2.5 million young adults by allowing them to stay on their parents' health plan until age 26, and that's just the beginning.
5. Undermine women's access to abortion
Out-of-touch politicians continue their relentless efforts to undermine women's access to abortion. They have filed bill after bill designed to prevent women from accessing comprehensive care. One such way is by working to ban insurance coverage of abortion in the new health insurance exchanges under the ACA. This means that women who buy an insurance plan through the exchange may not have abortion covered as a health care service, even though most insurance companies cover abortion as part of their health plan.

Hot or Not?: Salad Spinners
Essential or extraneous? Some cooks tell us salad spinners take up too much space. They grumble that a kitchen towel dries salad leaves just as well. Other cooks swear by their trusty salad spinners -- and some even stopped buying pre-washed greens -- after buying a salad spinner.
With the recent problems with bagged greens, we're all paying more attention to how we clean our greens. Tell us what you think in today's poll.
Also, let us know if you have a favorite brand of salad spinner or share your other tips on washing and drying greens.
16 Comments
Even though it takes up a huge amount of space in the fridge, I find that greens stay fresher in there. Something about the bit of moisture that's left clinging to the outer bowl that keeps the inside humid, but the greens themselves are "safe" from touching it if they remain in the basket.
I have the oxo. I'm also big on those green evertfresh bags (I think that's what they're called) for greens and other veggies, especially in my crappy rental fridge.
I agree that the greens stay fresher longer when kept in the spinner than they do otherwise. We have both the big one for greens and the little one for herbs -- and use them both regularly.
I got one as a shower gift and I find myself using it more and more. I think it does a far better job of drying the leaves than a towel does, and you run less risk of bruising delicate greens.
Brand: OXO Love mine, some tools are worth the space they occupy.
Ain't nothing like an Oxo spinner.
I wouldn't want to live without it...even the packaged greens need washing. I also find that crisp greens from a spinner make my salads so much better. OXO and Zyliss both work great. If you have space constraints buy the small OXO it works just as well as the large one.
Another vote for OXO's Archimedes Groove: it's Alton Brown-approved!
I'm on the fence about these salad spinners. I read somewhere that I shouldn't use them because they put too much trauma and stress on the greens. I guess it depends on what greens you're using. When I lived in London, I never had a salad spinner and would dry my leaves with paper towels. But back here at home, I use the spinner if I'm in a hurry.
The most ingenious way I ever saw was at when a friend's mom washed the greens, wrapped them in a clean dish towel, and put them in the spin cycle of the washing machine for a minute!
We just wash them all at once, lay out on dish towels and dry, and store in a half-sealed ziplock bag. Seems to work great- they last around a week.
Another vote for the OXO!
I used to towel-dry my greens, but it drove me nuts. Between not having enough cloths and dealing with the mass of damp towels afterwards, I broke down and made room for a small OXO spinner. Now I don't dread making salad!
Not to be a fly in the ointment, but I don't love the Oxo. Got it as a wedding gift, assuming it was the best, and it doesn't spin fast enough or allow you to do multiple "spins" or "pumps" very easily. I find myself pushing the little button that stops the spinning after a few seconds and starting with a fresh push. I like ones with the rotating handle better...just my two cents.
my mother has one with the string that you pull - and you can get multiple pulls like ESP likes, and i haven't found one as good as hers from 1980. It's awesome.
Well, I would use a dishtowel if I had a bigger place or could step outside onto a back porch... Waving around a towel full of salad does a great job drying the greens. But it also sprays a lot of water. In my little kitchen, there isn't enough room to wind up properly. And I don't want lots of other things getting wet. So I use any old salad spinner.
I recently saw a salad spinner shaped like one of those plastic measureing cups - tall and narrow rather than wide and massive, with a handle on the side so that it doesn't go flying. It was probably about ten years old though, and it was purchased somewhere in Germany, so I doubt I'd ever be able to find something similar.
I have the one with the string from Zyliss, it is the very best. It is old though, over ten years old. When I put it in storage, I have my usual bag of mixed nuts sitting inside the spinner... Saves space.

Aerogel, also know as frozen smoke, is the world's lowest density solid, clocking in at 96% air. If you hold a small piece in your hand, it's practically impossible to either see or feel, but if you poke it, it's like styrofoam. It supports up to 4,000 times its own weight and can withstand a direct blast from two pounds of dynamite. It's also the best insulator in existence.
Chemistry at its finest
can i eat that
Why don't we use this for everything?!?
This shit is about the coolest thing ever.
It's such a great insulator that a thin layer of it will protect anything from the heat of a bunsen burner.
Even though it's incredibly light and has an extremely low density, its lattice-like molecular structure makes it able to hold objects much greater in mass.
What if you got loads of it, and made a bed, you could pretend you were a pegasus
Possibly one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
Again, because science boner.

As of June 2004, Columbia University's Print Services assumed the management of self-service copiers in all the Morningside Campus Libraries except Law. Columbia students, faculty, and staff can set up Flex Accounts by using current CUID cards, and these Flex dollars can be used for photocopying in the Libraries. Non-Columbia ID holders can purchase Flex cards at stations in several locations, including Butler, Business, Lehman, Barnard, and Teachers College Libraries.
In addition to new digital copiers, prices per page have been reduced to $.10 a page, color copying is available in Business and Avery Libraries, and equipment maintenance has been improved.
For those of you who still have unused copy cards issued by COPICO, our previous vendor, the library installed COPICO card readers on one machine in Butler Library, Room 2L1, and in Avery Library. These readers will remain until the end of December 2004. No refunds will be issued for unused COPICO funds.
All graduate students are given a free printing quota of 20 pages per week. Students wishing to expand their weekly quota to 100 pages must pay a $35/semester fee. Pages can also be purchased on an as-needed basis at the rate of $.10/page for black and white printing, or $1.00 for color printing. More information can be found here.
Note that purchased pages (not quotas) carry over from week to week, as long as your UNI remains valid.

Need: Help put up classrooms
Children of Africa Hope Mission School was started in 2009 by a group of 14 women from Riruta United Methodist church which is now Riruta Hope Community Church who saw many children in this village languishing in poverty and sickness. There was need to develop programs to cater for the interests and concerns of vulnerable and disadvantaged women, youth and children.
This school caters for HIV/Aids orphans and vulnerable children in Ngando village of Dagoretti district in Nairobi. Many HIV positive children in the slums of Kenya suffer isolation and stigmatization. Accessing formal education for such kids isn't easy as other members of the society discriminate against them. They face isolation, discrimination and poverty.
The School caters for 159 orphans and vulnerable children in the slums of Ngando and there is a dire need of nutritional food since they come from poor homes where they don't get sufficient food. The school offers them formal education, but the greatest challenge here are the learning materials. There are no text books for both the teacher and the learner. These children can't afford school uniform thus come to school untidy and hungry. These affect them physically, socially and psychologically. Typically these children are experiencing hunger and starvation, educational failure, psychological problems, and disruption of normal childhood. The school has Pre School and the primary section that goes up to class 6. This organization together with the church and well wishers has tried to give the children what they can but a number of challenges are still experienced and enormous.
1. Rent. The school operates on a rented property in a residential plot so raising ksh. 28,000 monthly is a tall order for us and many a times we face threats of closure by the landlord. It is challenging given that this is a residential plot thus interference from tenants on the plot is high. There is no privacy. It is the wish of the organization to buy land and develop the school there.
2. Learning materials are a challenge. The school lacks adequate teaching and learning materials thus making it difficult for both the learners and the instructors to communicate effectively. Conducive learning can't take place in a situation where learning resources are limited.
3. Desks. There are no enough desks for these kids so majority end up sharing a chair or sit on the floor.
4. Food. The school offers nutritional meals to the children twice a day. This is porridge and Lunch. However, it is a challenge in that the little we collect from guardians and well wishers can't sustain the school for the whole month. The children end up getting meals of low quality or no meals at all.
5. Stipend for teachers/workers. The organization has 15 workers. Although these people are doing good work, they are rarely paid. They have families to take care of, bills to pay, rent to pay so sustaining them in the organization is a great challenge because their stipends are not forthcoming. They are in and out of school looking for means of survival.
Kindly partner with us to see these children grow holistically.
