It's Skin Cancer Awareness Month!
With Met coverage occupying much of our blog space over the past 24 hours, we completely forgot to mention that yesterday was Melanoma Monday. In fact, May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. Despite its grim implications, the unofficial holiday actually marked a happy occasion, that being the return of the Skin Cancer Foundation's Road to Healthy Skin Tour sponsored by Rite Aid and Aveeno. For the third year in a row, the SCF is giving anyone anywhere the opportunity to receive a free full-body skin cancer screening inside its 38-foot customized RV. Don't be creeped out by the word RV; it's actually a legit setup, and all scans are conducted in a private room by credited local dermatologists who've volunteered their time and expertise. This year, the tour will visit over 80 locations through September. If you're sans insurance and even remotely curious about a questionable freckle or mole, we highly recommend you click here to find out when the glorified camper will be rolling through a town near you.

Q-in-Q Ethernet frame size
Just a few notes from a conversation about ethernet frame size while using Q-in-Q (double tagging, vlan tunneling). Maximum frame size for a tagged frame is 1522 bytes. That breaks down like so:
- 6 byte DA (Destination Address)
- 6 byte SA (Source Address)
- 4 byte VLAN tag
- 2 byte Etype
- 46-1500 byte DATA (payload)
- 4 byte FCS
So adding a secondary VLAN tag would increase this maximum frame size to 1526, like so:
- 6 byte DA (Destination Address)
- 6 byte SA (Source Address)
- 4 byte VLAN tag
- 4 byte VLAN tag
- 2 byte Etype
- 46-1500 byte DATA (payload)
- 4 byte FCS

ISC DHCP and Option 82 coming from non-access gear
DHCP option 82 sub-option 1 information coming from access gear (Occam, Calix, etc.) is sent in ascii format. That same information sent by switching/routing gear (Brocade, Cisco, etc.) is sent base10 encoded. Changes have to be made to the dhcpd.conf file to deal with this, no only for the purposes of logging, but also for any match statements for statically assigning IP addresses based on switch/card/port (option 82) information. Here is a working dhcpd.conf file that solves the issue.

SSH tunnel
Here is an example of how to use an ssh tunnel to get to a web admin port (443) on a device inside of a network. This assumes you have a server with two ethernet interfaces – one external (real world) at 126.96.36.199, and one internal at 192.168.99.200. Your appliance/server/whatever with the web admin interface is on a box with an IP of 192.168.99.1. You want outside (real world) access to this web interface. This command will get it done:
ssh -f email@example.com -L 126.96.36.199:8080:192.168.99.1:443 -N

WDBJ7 HOMETOWN GARDEN BLOG: New additions

For the last several weeks, the garden has been producing a lot of zucchinis. While nothing else is ready to pick just yet, there are several new additions to the garden.
We now have several cucumbers growing. I have set tomato cages upside down and the vines are growing up them. Several should be ready to eat by next week.
We also have several, tiny watermelons growing. Just over the past weekend, they have gone from grape size to the size of a small orange. They are just too cute!
The peppers have started flowering, so I hope to see those coming out in the next few weeks.

The previous four indexes we covered were all based on the top companies in the U.S., most of them worth billions of dollars. The Russell 2000 measures the performance of smaller stocks (small caps) that are often excluded from the big indexes. The average market capitalization in the Russell 2000 is approximately $530 million. To put that into perspective, Microsoft alone has a market capitalization of more than $248 billion at the time of this writing.
|Created By:
|Frank Russell Company in 1984
|Number of Companies:
|~ 2,000
|Types of Companies:
|Small cap companies from various industries. Exclusions are stocks under $1 and pink sheets.
|Selection Criteria:
|This index consists of the smallest 2,000 companies in the Russell 3000 index.
|How it\'s Calculated:
|The Russell 2000 is weighted on market capitalization.
|Advantages: A well-diversified index of small-cap stocks focused on non-industry-leading companies.
|Disadvantages: The Russell 2000 Index tends to be more volatile than large-cap indexes. However, when small caps come into favor with investors, it tends to perform very well. But the index can be stuck in the doldrums for years when small caps are languishing.
|Investing: There are many index funds that track the Russell 2000.

All the news from the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
CNET's reviews of the best desktop computers include photos, video, and user reviews
There may be a lot of touch-screen tabletop Windows 8 tablet PCs, but the Vaio Tap 21 has the looks to compete.
Sony's thin, powerful Tap 11 tablet shows up the competition in terms of design. It's not ideal for everyone, but only a few tweaks away from being the runaway leader in this smallish category.
The Sony Vaio Fit 14 is an all-around excellent laptop for the money that will satisfy the basic demands of everyday use for many people and look good doing it.
This hybrid can shift between laptop, tablet, or kiosk modes, and includes a copy of Photoshop Elements 12.
If you can stand its speakers, Sony's XBR-X900B will reward you with the best combination of audio and video quality you've ever seen (or heard).
The superthin, superlight Sony Vaio Pro 11 is everything we expect from an excellent ultrabook.
For those who want an excellent ultraportable laptop with more than just the latest Intel processors, the Sony Vaio Pro 13 Touch is it.
A compelling experiment in tablet-desktop hybridization, the Sony Vaio Tap 20 is a great fit for home tech enthusiasts willing to try something new.
While the battery is a concern, the Xperia Z2 Tablet is still a good-looking slate that's loaded with more than enough power for anything you're likely to throw at it. It's a good choice if you're looking for a more affordable iPad alternative with 4G LTE -- particularly if you've ever lost a gadget through water damage.
While the SRS-X7 can't beat the performance of competitors like the Bose SoundLink III, it's a nice portable wireless speaker that offers the flexibility of both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Industrial Specialisation and Public Procurement: Theory and Empirical Evidence
AbstractPublic-sector purchases from private firms account for over 10 percent of GDP in most developed countries, and they are typically biased in favour of domestic suppliers. This paper explores the impact of discriminatory public procurement on the location of industries. Our main theoretical finding is that, in a setting with increasing returns and trade costs, home-biased procurement can override other determinants of industrial specialisation. Our empirical analysis underscores the significance of discriminatory procurement. Drawing on a cross-country, crossindustry data sample for the EU, we find that determinants of industry location such as factor endowments, market access and intermediate inputs are significant in sectors where public procurement is small, but they lose their significance in sectors where public procurement is important.

Policies are not everyone�s favorite topic. They often conjure up an image of heavy handed bureaucratic interference that makes getting things done more difficult and adds to the workload of already over-stretched staff. And you can add to this the criticism that policies are devised by people who have little understanding of the operational settings in which the policies must be complied with.

LONDON, December 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
- One in two* UK adults (57%) are at risk of being declined credit by mainstream lenders
- Seven in ten women (69%) and eight in ten (82%) 18-24 year olds are at risk of failing a typical credit check
- Three quarters of people (79%) do not know what their credit score is
- Of those who have been refused credit, 85% didn't bother to find out why
One in two UK adults (57%) are currently at risk of being declined credit by mainstream lenders, according to 'Mind the Credit Gap' - a report which aims to better understand the creditworthiness of the UK population, commissioned by aqua credit cards.
The research, which was based on consumers answering a typical industry credit check questionnaire, reveals that in general women and young people have less access to credit, with seven in ten (69%) women and eight in ten (82%) 18-24yr olds failing to meet the criteria lenders typically look for. Mind the Credit Gap notes that people from all walks of life can find themselves at risk of being declined. Most obvious are those who don't have a credit history. This includes those who have recently moved to the UK or those who have never entered into a credit agreement before and therefore have no repayment records. But the research also shows that a third (34%) of people in full time jobs, and 32% who earn in excess of £50,000, could also struggle to get credit.
Having a strong credit score isn't just essential when applying for credit cards, loans, overdrafts or mortgages, it's also important when using other lifestyle services and products. Those taking out contracts with utility providers, mobile phone companies and broadband services, or even those trying to get the best rates and deals from these services, will often need to pass a credit check. Yet aqua's findings show that three quarters of people (79%) have no idea what their credit score is, and half (53%) don't know how to improve it.
Commenting on the findings, Sarah Willingham, founder of letssavesomemoney said: "Finding out that a massive 25 million people are at risk of being declined credit due to a poor credit score is extremely alarming. The Mind the Credit Gap report from aqua demonstrates the importance of understanding your credit score and how it affects your ability to access financial products, but also how to access the best deals and rates on other products and services. If you have a damaged credit record and don't enquire why, you could end up paying more or at worst, having limited access to credit.
aqua's report interrogates some of the unsuspecting actions that can have a detrimental effect on a credit score. The following graph shows some of the reasons why people can be at risk of being declined:
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121219/582963 )
Sarah added: "Taking some simple steps to improve your score can have a huge impact on your life. Things like making sure you're on the electoral roll, that your credit record has the most up to date address, that you pay your bills on time, and that you only apply for credit when needed, all make a difference. And if you are struggling, there are specialist lenders out there who can help access credit and rebuild your credit profile.
James Corcoran, CEO, added: "At aqua we believe in the importance of helping creditworthy individuals who are left un-served by the mainstream credit industry. The Mind the Credit Gap report shows that this un-served audience is significant and growing. Surprisingly one in two adults are at risk of being declined credit by mainstream lenders - that's over 25 million people whose lives are being affected. The irony is that the people who need their money to go further are the ones who end up paying more - paying for utilities and mobile phones on a pay-and-go basis for instance can cost up to 27% more than paying via direct debit.
He added: "We created the report as we believe it's paramount that people understand the significance of their credit score as well as how to build or repair it. We are thrilled to have the support of Sarah Willingham, founder of letssavesomemoney, and we hope that our report is a step in the right direction to solve the problem and help narrow the credit gap".
The aqua credit card was launched in 2002 to help the large number of creditworthy individuals in the UK who are left un-served by the mainstream credit industry. aqua creates innovative credit building credit cards with rewards when customers look after their account - designed for people looking to improve or establish their credit rating.

Top tips on how to improve your credit score:
- Make sure you're on the electoral role
- Pay all your bills on time, even a couple of days can make a difference
- Ensure there's no incorrect details on your credit record - check it regularly and if the details are wrong, correct them
- Try not to use more than 75% of your available credit limit
- Look into specialist credit card providers which help people to build and improve their credit record
- Only apply for products when you really need them- applying for more than four forms of credit in a year can lower your credit score
- Do not apply for more than one product at a time as each application can have a negative impact on a credit record
- Close old credit card accounts and cancel old direct debits
- End financial associations with ex-partners. Whilst their own credit rating won't impact yours, taking out a product jointly with them will
- Do not take out more than two forms of credit within a six month period

16.08.05 - By Scoop Malinowski / Boxinginsider.com - "...the first chance they got to get him, they got him." -- Bouie Fisher, the long-time guide of all-time great Middleweight king Bernard Hopkins spoke with Boxinginsider.com about his man's controversial "loss" to Jermain Taylor. While always classy in victory or defeat, Fisher firmly believes his man did enough to score the hard-fought victory.. "I think he won the fight. It was close," said Fisher via telephone on Sunday night. "I thought he won. I don't know what you believe, I thought he won. Who do you think won the fight?"
When I agreed, saying Hopkins looked slightly superior to Taylor and narrowly pulled out the win, Fisher added, "The champion normally gets the benefit of the doubt. But being Bernard Hopkins - everyone's been after him for so long - he only had one loss and one draw in all those fights - he's been in the headlines for 14 years - good and bad - the first chance they got to get him, they got him."
When questioned if he was in any way surprised at how the fight developed, Fisher responded, "A little here and there. When a guy puts a lot of pressure on like Taylor did, and there's a lot of personal stuff involved, it may have affected Bernard in starting the fight. Had he gone out there and fought his fight from the beginning, he would have won, no doubt. When Bernard got serious to pull it out, he dominated. I thought he won the last four rounds."
Then Fisher asked me a question, The judge who gave Taylor the last round, what do you think of that? We both laughed at that one. Some things are better left unsaid.
Regarding if anything about how Taylor performed on July 18 surprised him, Fisher admitted something did. "Only that he showed me - being a young, inexperienced fighter - he showed enough courage to win. He hung in there. Kept his composure together. The judges thought he won. Fight people don't think he won - real fight people. He had enough guts to hang in there. The judges rewarded him for his courage.
You can't reverse the decision or argue the decision. I've seen worse decisions than that. They're not gonna change it now. If the rematch does happen - it seems to be a question - I think you'll see Bernard fight the fight he's capable of fighting.
With all due respect to Jermain Taylor, if he keeps the same mindset he has now, if they put him in the right fights, he could be a good champion. He's a kid (with) only 25, 26 fights. With all due respect, I hope he is the next undisputed middleweight champion for 25 title defenses. We'll see what happens."
I then asked Fisher how Bernard was now about the loss, if he was okay with it by now. "He's not okay with it, that he lost," Fisher replied. "It was a questionable loss. How could the guy (Duane Ford) give Taylor the last round? That played a part in the decision."
At the age of 40, and about five months from 41 - the age he promised his now-deceased mom he'd retire from the ring, Hopkins may have one fight left. Fisher said he wasn't sure what The Executioner's final plans are. "I really don't know. I haven't discussed anything with him in that regard. I don't know. Just play it by ear and see what happens."
When I suggested that the Taylor camp may delay the rematch as long as they can, that Hopkins might never fight again, Fisher did not completely disagree. "He might not. I can't really say. But I think he'll take a few months off, rest, think about what he's gonna do. He's never been beat up or hurt by any means."
As for how he would like to see the incomparable career of Hopkins reach it's final chapter, Fisher has one vision. "The only fight I'd like to see is a rematch with Taylor. I'd like to see Bernard fight the rematch then that's it."
Right now the rematch is tentatively being discussed for early December.

David Erosa informed me that there is a spanish version of my book "Beginning Android Games". I like it's cover more than the other one Thanks for informing me David, my publisher can't be boughter to write me a mail about such things.
Beginning Android Games
A couple of nice guys over at the forums started a community Wiki. It is not supervised by us and anyone can join! If you want to help libgdx flurish, sign up and go write some nice articles! More info here.
I just checked the ranking of my book on Amazon and it finally fell down the ranking list. I guess all good things have to end eventually, which is fine by me. Let's see how much i actually made. So far i didn't get any info on that…
The next couple of days i'll have to focus heavily on my day job. I will not be available via e-mail, twitter or skype, nor will i be able to watch over the forums. I'll be back on monday if all goes well, or friday in a week if all goes to shit.
If some of you could care for the people in the "Beginning Android Games" forum and tell them about my absence i'd be super happy.
I'll be back.

Mike Kelley for Will County Sheriff
Detective Sgt. Mike Kelley, a 25-year veteran of the Will County Sheriff's Department, is running for Will County Sheriff.
Kelley, who has worked in virtually every division within the Will County Sheriff's Department, is running as a Democrat. He announced his candidacy in his hometown of Lockport recently with a coalition of state and countywide elected officials standing by his side, among them Will County Executive Larry Walsh, State's Attorney James Glasgow, Coroner Patrick O'Neil and Circuit Clerk Pam McGuire. He was also joined by dozens of his brothers and sisters in local law enforcement with whom he has served over the past 2-1/2 decades.
Kelley, who joined the Sheriff's Department in 1988, currently serves as a sergeant in the Criminal Investigations Division. He also has served as a patrol sergeant, as a Will County State's Attorney's Office investigator, in the Fugitive Warrants Division, as a deputy providing security in the Will County Courthouse and as a deputy in the Will County Adult Detention Facility.
"My goal is to raise morale and breathe new life into the Sheriff's Department by streamlining and modernizing the way we provide services to our citizens," Kelley said. "We have many of the finest police officers in the nation working in our department, and they deserve an effective leader who has their back and will provide them with the tools they need to protect everyone in our community."
Kelley said he will consolidate evidence storage facilities and review departmental procedures to ensure that best practices are being followed. He also vowed to put more deputies and detectives on our streets to combat the heroin epidemic that is affecting many suburban communities.
"If we're going to combat this public safety crisis, we need to work even harder to put the dealers behind bars and cut the flow of heroin into our neighborhoods" Kelley said.
Kelley acknowledged that many local governments have experienced fiscal hardships in recent years. But he noted that his background as a local elected official – he currently serves as a Lockport Township Trustee and he also served as a Lockport City Alderman as well as the Lockport Township Collector – has provided him with the experience and knowledge necessary to lead the Sheriff's Department responsibly in tight financial times.
He is a member of the Metropolitan Alliance of Police, the Illinois Homicide Investigators Association, a Moose Member, a former AFSCME #2961 Executive Board Member (Deputies Union), a former FOP Labor Council Executive Board Member (Deputies Union), and a former Metropolitan Alliance of Police #123 Executive Board Member (Supervisors Union).
Kelley also has received Departmental Awards for Meritorious Service and Distinguished Service.
He has been married to his wife, Leigh, for 21 years, and they have three sons.
Watch this interview with Mike Kelley:
Press Releases
Chicago Tribune March 22, 2014
Will County
Sheriff: In 2010, this page urged voters to defeat Sheriff Paul Kaupas after a series of disastrous investigative foul-ups. Kaupas is retiring now. Three Democrats and two Republicans seek to replace him.
Our endorsement in the Democratic primary goes to Mike Kelley of Lockport, a detective sergeant in the criminal investigations unit of the sheriff's office and a Lockport Township trustee. He has 25 years of experience in the sheriff's office and good ideas to restructure it. He says he'll focus on an "epidemic" of heroin use among young people He is preferred over sheriff's Lt. Steve Egan of Joliet and Ed Bradley, who recently became University Park's chief of police.
On the Republican side, Ken Kaupas, the deputy chief of special operations in the sheriff's office (and a second cousin of the sheriff) faces Nick Ficarello, who retired as a deputy chief in the office in 2009. Both give us pause. Kaupas acknowledges that in 2002, when he was an Illinois State Police captain, he was suspended for 10 days on misconduct charges. Ficarello was a top supervisor during the poorly handled investigation of the 2004 murder of 3-year-old Riley Fox. Ficarello notes that he came to the job two weeks after that investigation started. Neither one offers much hope yet of a top-to-bottom shake-up. We make no endorsement in the primary but will revisit in the general election.

CBR Archives - CBR Live! @ Comic Book Resources
Cookie Time with Valiant Entertainment
Not long ago, a package from DeLuscious Cookies & Milk arrived at the CBR offices courtesy of Valiant Entertainment.
That Valiant sent delicious baked goods and milk wouldn't normally be cause for alarm, but the timing of this package is awfully curious… One of our current polls asks which publisher's 2013 output readers are most thankful for — and Valiant is currently in the lead. How could this be anything but an attempt to sabotage the contest and ensure their victory?
Though the card accompanying the cookies said it was meant to celebrate CBR Executive Producer Jonah Weiland's recent birthday, this newsman remains unconvinced. And if there's more of this kind of underhanded attempt to sway the poll… well, then Valiant should probably send more cookies to my home address for further investigation.
The Robot 6 Harvey Award Has Arrived
You may have read earlier this week that CBR's blog Robot 6 won a Harvey award for Best Biographical, Historical or Journalistic Presentation last weekend! Today, the award has arrived and it's now on display in the CBR office. Take a look.
We had to separate CBR's two Eisner Awards (2009, 2011 Best Journalism) form the Harvey because they were fighting. The creepy "The Conjuring" doll seems to have kept them apart. Here's a close up, with a photobomb appearance by Senior Editor Albert Ching.
Special thanks to R6′s Tim O'Shea for shipping it to the office and for accepting the award on the team's behalf.
The CBR Hallway Poll: Ben Affleck as Batman – Yay or Nay?
The CBR offices are located in the Laemmle Theater building in the NoHo Arts District in Los Angeles, California. It's a small building that's home to a seven screen movie theater, a Chipotle (oh, man, do we love burritos!), CBR and Los Angeles City Councilman Paul Krikorian's field office. There's not a lot of traffic in our hallways, but enough that we thought, "HEY, WE HAVE TO TAKE THE PULSE OF THE BUILDING ON THIS BEN AFFLECK BATMAN NEWS!!!!" Well, it wasn't quite that dramatic, but close.
We put our nifty white board on the door to our suite and asked the question of anyone walking the halls since last Friday. Here are the results.
What have we learned from our super scientific survey? That our hallway is far more supportive of Ben Affleck as Batman than the Internet as a whole is. HALLWAY FTW!
The World Ends At The CBR Speakeasy?
Team CBR might be planning their own in-studio pub crawl to celebrate the opening of "The World's End." I think Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, & Nick Frost would approve, don't you? Thanks to Focus Features for sending these over — they'll be properly used in the CBR Speakeasy, for sure.
For more on "The World's End," check out the review on Spinoff Online by Josh Wigler.
"Infinity" #1 Variant and some thoughts from Tom Brevoort
Got a lovely present from the folks at Marvel today — this special variant of "Infinity" #1 (in stores tomorrow, August 14th) featuring a cover by Adam Kubert, signed by we THINK Hickman (can anyone tell based on the photo).
It also includes this little pitch by series editor Tom Brevoort, which we thought we'd share with you all (transcript below). Enjoy!
I could sing you the song and dance, but you've heard it all before, right? You know how it goes. So let me stick to the facts.
INFINITY is the first crescendo to the uber-story that Jonathan Hickman has been fashioning since the beginning of the MARVEL NOW! AVENGERS and NEW AVENGERS titles. Everything has been building to this!
INFINITY crosses the length and breadth of the Marvel Universe to unite characters from all spheres of operation against not one but two mighty threats! This is the Marvel Universe unified as never before!
INFINITY heralds the return of the Mad Titan, Thanos, to center stage after a long absence (not to mention a much-talked-about end-of-movie teaser.)
INFINITY alters the landscape of the Marvel Universe meaningfully, and sets up the storytelling cycle that will carry us through 2014 and beyond!
INFINITY is illustrated by three of the finest artists in the field, Jim Cheung, Jerome Opena and Dustin Weaver. All three are motivated by intense competition with the others — none of these guys wants to be the third-best artist on the project, and it shows on every page they've drawn!
Thanks for all you've done to make MARVEL NOW! the great success that it's been! Here's the first big payoff, both figuratively and literally! Welcome to INFINITY!
Tom Brevoort
SVP – Executive Editor
Editor – Infinity
You're Next masks will freak you out!
Our friends at LIONSGATE sent over a Comic-Con care package filled with water, pens, note pads, sun screen, hand sanitizer, a Subway gift card and more, plus this freaky ass mask from YOU'RE NEXT that CBR video producer Remy Minnick was kind enough to wear. We're making him wear it all day today as he toils away on our Comic-Con schedule. It's not awkward at all!
The Construction of the CBR Speakeasy
On October 31st, 2012, CBR moved out of our tiny little office in Hollywood. We outgrew the 550 sq. ft. space in the almost 90 year old building. Then, the office's ownership changed, improvements to the aging building were slow to come, parking became an inescapable nightmare and rent was ridiculous. Time for a change.
In December of 2012, we moved in to our new space in the NoHo Arts District, in a brand new building with plenty of parking, great access to public transportation (the NoHo Metro station is a block away) and based in a really exciting part of the city filled with great energy. More importantly, we have triple the space of the previously space, allowing me to finally realize the kind of studio I've always wanted.

CBR Server Move Sunday at 9:00 AM Pacific
Hey CBR Readers!
Just a quick note to say that CBR is migrating to a new, much faster server this Sunday, June 9th, at 9:00 AM Pacific time. This will mean the main CBR site — www.comicbookresources.com — will be intermittently unavailable from 9:00 AM until 10:00 AM.
Lately, all the CBR servers have been pummeled by increased traffic and we only see that increasing, especially with Comic-Con International in San Diego on the horizon. To deal with that, first we'll move CBR to this new server. Once CBR is on its new server, we'll prep the old CBR server so we can move the CBR blogs to it. The server the blogs are on is seriously slow and even the two-year old CBR server is 5x faster than the current blog server. We expect to move the CBR blogs on Thursday, June 13th — possibly sooner. We'll let ya know.
Thanks for your patience, everyone. We hope you'll be happy with the faster response times to come!
– Jonah Weiland
The Movie Posters in the CBR Hallway
The management of the building the CBR offices are located in have allowed us to decorate the hallway with movie posters of our choosing. We reached out to friends around town, got some comic book movie posters from them and, well, here's a look at all the posters we've hung outside our suite — but one of these is not like the other!
Special thanks to Michelle at Laemmle's Noho for the use of that final Avengers poster — how amazing is that?
Six Seconds of Fun from the CBR Speakasy Soft Launch
Friday May 3rd, CBR hosted a "soft launch" of our new Speakeasy, where we'll entertain and film upcoming interviews. Here's six seconds from the party, which saw almost 50 people come in and out throughout the evening. Thanks to everyone that stopped by!

Laboure-Roi Unoaked Chardonnay
Green apple, pear, hint of peach, and lots of wet stone. A lovely, really lovely, unoaked chardonnay from Macon-Villages in Burgundy. Full-bodied wine with nice acidity with a crisp finish.
It caught my eye at HEB where I think it retails for less than $12. Wow. I need to go back and pick up a few more!

Judge kicks Canadian Govt up the arse to protect caribou
The David and Goliath struggle in Canada's boreal forest continues…..but against a backdrop of endless wins for Goliath, finally there is a win (of sorts) for David.
Years ago the Canadian Government had pledged to draft a strategy for helping caribou populations recover. This was prompted by national alarm at how the species was declining across Canada's boreal forest. One study found that two Alberta herds had declined by three-quarters in the last 10 to 15 years, with some herds now numbering fewer than 200 animals.
As you'd expect, many studies place the blame squarely with habitat destruction. Canada's vast natural resources give the impression that it is able to absorb large scale plundering without too much impact, but forestry and oil exploitation have side-effects many miles from the target areas.
Forestry itself is alleged to have destroyed nearly 110,000 hectares of habitat in northern Alberta. The oil industry has created 35,000 oil and gas wells, 66,000 kilometres of seismic lines, 13,000 kilometres of pipelines and 12,000 kilometres of roads. Toxic waste products from the extraction process pollute lakes and watercourses and are carried far off downstream, away from the sites themselves.
The extent of the oil industry up there is mindblowing. If you'll permit me to plunder my own personal experience for a moment…….on a flight from Amsterdam to Calgary a few years ago the plane I was on flew down the spine of Alberta, from north to south. I was glued to the window because at the time I had no idea what the thousands of squares were on the ground in what I thought was a wilderness area. Someone pointed out they were oil wells…..and for about 90 minutes, travelling at 500mph that was all you could see on the ground, as far as the eye could see. It was sobering to say the least.
A recent report by Global Forest Watch found an average of 75 per cent of caribou range in the tar sands region has been disturbed by fire, industry or both. Alberta has of course outlined protected areas as part of a land-use plan for the tar sands region but this has done nothing to appease its critics, who say the areas aren't in the regions most important to caribou and are threatened by development.
The caribou collapse has been documented by biologists for over a decade now, but the current rate of loss has led some scientists to predict that the caribou could be gone completely within 30 years if action to reverse it isn't taken.
It is against this backdrop that the Canadian government agreed to assemble the recovery plan…..but they have missed the mandatory statutory deadline by……wait for it…..FOUR YEARS! The Beaver Lake Cree Nation therefore took the issue to court recently in an effort to get the government to issue an emergency order aimed at protecting the endangered caribou in the Alberta tar sands region. Something the federal government had refused to do……and if you're cynical I'm sure you can guess why?
What's REALLY baffling about the government's refusal is that they did so DESPITE conceding the following points:
- Caribou are threatened by habitat loss.
- All 13 herds of caribou in Alberta are at elevated risk of local extinction.
- The population and habitat conditions of all the herds in northeastern Alberta are "insufficient for those herds to be self sustaining".
- There is a developing gap in caribou distribution in Canada centred around northeastern Alberta (the area of intensive tar sands activity).
- Alberta's failure to protect caribou will likely have consequences for the national population of the species.
Thankfully the federal judge in Edmonton was equally baffled, saying:
"I acknowledge that it is not immediately apparent how, given the foregoing facts, the Minister reasonably could have concluded that there are no imminent threats to the national recovery of boreal caribou."
"…the Minister clearly erred in reaching his decision by failing to take into account the First Nations Applicants' Treaty Rights and the honour of the Crown in interpreting his mandate under [the federal Species at Risk Act]."
The judge overruled the government's decision, sent the Government off with its tail between its legs and gave the Environment Minister until 1st September to reconsider and produce the agreed recovery strategy. However, Federal Court Justice Paul Crampton hasn't and won't be telling Ottawa that they must issue the order once it is drafted.
So…..a victory of sorts in that the First Nations' rights to have their way of life protected within the Dominion of Canada without conflict from lumbering or mining interests, as secured in the Royal treaty of 1876, will be in the spotlight and will perhaps get the attention they deserve. It remains to be seen what action the federal government takes next, but all of their actions to this point illustrate how unwilling they are to curtail the adverse environmental & cultural impacts in their pursuit of their oil barrels.
For the caribou however, a recovery strategy can't come soon enough.

Shopping for Retailer Stocks by Following the Insiders
Louis is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
If you have owned shares of retailers, you probably know that their prices can be very volatile. However, a smart investor should try to exploit such volatility to enhance the overall return of his portfolio. I personally have bought and sold the shares of many retailers, and I am glad to report that in more than 90% of the cases, I have made decent profits.
I did so usually with three steps. First, I will select a group of retailer companies with solid fundamentals and put them on my watch list. The hallmarks of a good retailer are, from a business point of view, an appealing brand, and from a financial point of view, a clean balance sheet. If a retailer has no significant amount of debts or other liabilities, and significant amount of cash, then it could afford a misstep here and there, or even a few bad quarters. After all, a lot of them are in the fickle fashion business and it is hard to read fashion trends right all the time.
Second, I start to analyze a company's business when its shares are traded at lower prices relative to its recent prices, usually when they have suffered from a huge price decline. I will try to figure out whether its underlying business has suffered from a temporary setback, or a long-term decline. Of course, this is the toughest part. If you look at any company whose stock has declined significantly, you will find some reasons for that. The key is try to form an informed opinion as to whether such decline is proportional to the reasons that Mr. Market has used to punish the share price. If not, then you may have found a good buy.
Third, I would use the insider transactions in the shares of the company to back up my own analysis. If the insider sentiments are favorable, then I start to build a long position, no matter how negative Mr. Market feels toward the company. In evaluating insider transactions, I look at (1) the number of insiders who are buying, (2) the position of each of such insiders, (3) the size of their purchases, and (4) their track records as the investors of their company's shares.
Now let's put my strategy to test on the following companies: Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF), bebe stores (NASDAQ: BEBE) and Decker's Outdoor Products (NASDAQ: DECK).
Abercrombie & Fitch
Does the company have a clean balance sheet? Yes. It has a long-term debt/capitalization ratio of about 8%, and has got over $300 million cash.
Does the company have an appealing brand? The brand might have lost some of its appeal as the company is going to close about 180 stores in the U.S. However, it is fair to say that ANF is not going away. It occasionally stirs up some controversies, and ironically, I see the ability of ANF to do that as a sign that it is still a force to reckon with in American retail business.
Has its price suffered from a huge decline? Yes. It is traded in the low $30s, or a forward P/E well below its historic average. Its 52-week range is between around $28 and $77.
Is the price decline reflecting a long-term deterioration of its business fundamentals? Probably not. Its current woes probably have more to do with the overall economic environment and management's decision not to resort to discounts so as to protect its premium brand image. Its CEO has been there for over a decade now. Although a lot people complain about his outsized compensation package, ANF has achieved a lot under his stewardship. It is not unreasonable to expect him to deliver again.
Are insider sentiments favorable? Yes. One insider, Craig Stapleton, a director, bought 10,000 shares at around $35 per share in May. This is not a small change. Mr. Stapleton sold about 7,400 shares of ANF back in September 2011 at around $70 per share.
Overall I think ANF should be a buy, if not a strong buy. There are risks but given a year or two, the company should be resilient enough to bounce back.
Does the company have a clean balance sheet? Yes. It has a long-term debt/capitalization ratio of about 0%, and has got over $193 million cash.
Does the company have an appealing brand? Well, I don't have a lot to say here. BEBE does not really stand out. It is a matter of personal opinion, but I feel it is just another store in the mall.
Has its price suffered from a huge decline? Yes. It is traded at around $4.25, close to its book value per share. It used to be traded above $20.
Is the price decline reflecting a long-term deterioration of its business fundamentals? More likely than not. BEBE's current woes started long before the Great Recession. CEO and founder Manny Mashouf and his family control over 50% of the shares. During the last several years, key executives at BEBE have come and gone through its revolving door, and each time the promise of turning the once arguably hot retailer around vanished.
Are insider sentiments favorable? Hardly. One insider, Liyuan Woo, vice president, corporate controller and principal accounting officer, recently bought around 2,000 shares at $5-6 per share in May. This is not a huge investment. On the other hand, other insiders, including Mr. Mashouf, have sold a lot of their shares en masse, or exercised their options when the market prices of the shares are not significantly above the exercise prices.
One can argue with its shares traded at their book value and backed up by around $2.00 cash per share, the downside with BEBE is limited. However, I would wait until I see the conviction of the insiders that a turn-around is around the corner before initiating a long position.
Does the company have a clean balance sheet? Yes. It has a long-term debt/capitalization ratio of about 0%, and has got over $100 million cash.
Does the company have an appealing brand? Well, there are consumers who love its UGG boots, and there are consumers who hate them. The ability of the boots to elicit such strong feelings is a plus in my view. Have you heard people debating whether bebe clothes are a fad? It is a testament of a brand's ability to even be a subject of such a debate. However, it is possible that the heyday of the boots are behind us.
Has its price suffered from a huge decline? Yes. It is traded at around $35, or a forward P/E ratio of around 8. Its historic high was over $110 per share.
Is the price decline reflecting a long-term deterioration of its business fundamentals? Maybe not. However, it may mean that the days of exponential growth in terms of revenues and earnings are behind us. However, even if the business maintains its current level of sales and earnings, it is still a stable company with a well-recognized product that many people love. Those people treat UGG boots as a staple in their life and will be repeat buyers to support the current level of customer demand.
Are insider sentiments favorable? Yes. In July, its CEO's order for 10,000 shares at around $46 per share was filled. That is about half a million dollars. It probably means in the CEO's view, $45 per share represents a good entry point for a long position. In May, two of its directors bought about 3,200 shares at about $52 per share.
At this price level, the stock is attractively priced. Given its strong brand, DECK's shares can be a good long-term hold.

At a time of significant change to private and public sector
pensions, a record number of people are using TPAS services
directly or online to help them understand what steps they should
be taking. TPAS dealt with 12% more written enquires and 54%
more visits to its website compared with 2009/10; telephone calls
were down 15% and written disputes by 22%. We think that the
decline in written disputes may be reflecting the transitory impact
of the financial crises on the 2009 figures and a return to
normality. Our 63,751 helpline calls, 18,419 written
enquiries, 6,021 complaint cases and 334 workplace talks could not
have been delivered without the help of 377 case work and 150
workplace visits volunteer advisers. And with over 2 million
website visits, it means that someone visits our website every 16
Satisfaction with our services remain broadly in line with last
year and most of our targets have been met and this has been
confirmed by Independent research commissioned by the Department
for Work and Pensions. This shows that 94% of people who used
the TPAS helpline and 67% of people using the dispute resolution
service were either very satisfied or satisfied with the response
they received and the outcome of their call. 87% of people attended
our talks on retirement planning found the presentation useful or
very useful and over 80% said they would take some action on their
retirement plans following our talks. Of the people who
expressed some dissatisfaction with the service, the report
comments that this was largely driven by the outcome of their
complaints rather than the service they received.
We have played our part in delivering public sector saving with
administration expenditure at £3.6 million compared with
£3.7 million in 2009/10; we have planned to make further
savings as part of the Comprehensive Spending review 2010.
Partha Dasgupta, Chairman of TPAS, said "This is a great
achievement by the staff and volunteer advisers at TPAS at a time
when we were subject to a large amount of change, both
organisationally and as a result of broader public sector
initiatives. Our service continues to be valued and we are
looking forward to playing our part in the pension reform agenda,
particularly automatic enrolment and state pension reforms. I
would like to thank our volunteers for their continuing commitment,
without whom we would not be able to help as many people as we
Marta Phillips, TPAS Chief Executive said "The publication of
this Report and Annual Account marks the end of my first year at
TPAS. It has been, and continues to be, a real pleasure to
work with people who help to make sense of what could be
impenetrable. We have continued to provide a quality service
to people seeking help with a wide range of pensions

calls, 18,419 written enquiries and over 2,010,210 people visited
its website at www.pensionsadvisoryservice.org.uk and
handled 6,021 pension disputes.
2. The Pensions Advisory Service (TPAS) is an independent
organisation, operating at arm's length from DWP. It
provides independent, non-regulated, one-stop information and
guidance to members of the public on pensions matters. TPAS
has three core services that it offers to individuals free of
charge: information and guidance, dispute resolution and visits to
the workplace to provide information on retirement planning.

During these tough economic times you may be looking to cut the costs in the cart. In doing so, you might be under the impression that you will have to compromise the overall health of your diet. The table below shows you how that is just not so.
While keeping food costs down will take some extra time and planning up front, you and your family can feel good about sticking to your budget without compromising your health.
Here are a few pointers:
- Search the weekly circular and plan meals around sale items.
- By only fruits and vegetables that are in season and always look for sales.
- Go to the store with a budget in mind and list for the week to avoid spontaneous purchases.
- Look at unit prices, not just tag price. Sometimes it is better to buy a larger package because you will see you will get more for your money.
- Consider canned products, such as salmon, tuna, chicken and clams and beans instead of higher priced meats from the deli or butcher area.

dear followers,
i've noticed that people tend to unfollow me when i post about race, trans issues, and intersectional feminist theory in general. but i lose the most at a time when i post about race.
so i'd like to clear a few things up: if you started following me because you like the photos i post, that's fine. if you started following me because you liked the text/music posts i make (very rarely), that's fine.
but if you think i'm posting "too much" about things that pertain to my life on the daily (i am a Filipino-Canadian woman that has experienced racism at all stages in my life and will deal with it for the rest of my lifetime), then unfollow me. NOW.
if you think i'm being "preachy" then you need to fall back and realize that i am not trying to educate any of you. i genuinely post everything for myself. the ~serious posts~ are there so i can refer to them and know that my anger towards white supremacy, patriarchy, kyriarchy, capitalism, colonialism, and the systems that have actively oppressed me, my family, my ancestors, and people of color all over the world, is a justified and rational response. my struggle is not a lonely one, women of color womanist/feminist bloggers have been talking about their gripes with white (see: mainstream) feminism for FOREVER.
my tumblr is merely a stream of consciousness, where i log things that i find beautiful, ugly, and important to me. i am not doing any of this for any of you.
and if that's a problem for you, then bye bitch.
