Small Business Insurance That is Competitively Priced and That Provides the Gold Standard in Protection in 3 Fast and Easy Steps
Pet Grooming Services
Pet grooming businesses perform various grooming procedures on clients' dogs and cats, including bathing, fur cutting, ear cleaning and nail clipping. Some pet grooming shops offer more elaborate services, such as nail painting, fur coloring and curling. Services may be performed on-site or at clients' homes.
General Liability Insurance for Pet Grooming Services – Customers who visit pet grooming services are subject to slipping and falling if the premise's conditions are poor. Sidewalks, parking lots, and other walkways should be well lit and free of defects such as uneven surfaces, cracks, holes, trash, etc. Also, pet-grooming services may face lawsuits from customers if they use defective products or handle pets improperly. Such behavior could lead to pet injuries, sicknesses or death.
Business Auto Insurance for Pet Grooming Services – Pet grooming service employees may use vehicles as part of their work, and if this is the case, automobile accidents may be a concern. All driver MVRs should be checked against objective disqualification criteria. If pet pick-up and delivery services are provided, then employees should receive adequate training to properly secure the pets in order to prevent a hazard to the drivers.
Property Insurance for Pet Grooming Services – Fires could start in these businesses if electrical equipment and wiring is not properly installed or maintained; employees and customers smoke indoors or flammable materials such as aerosols are not properly stored. Valuable materials that have the potential to be lost include signs, equipment, accounts receivable information and important documents. Specialized Inland Marine property coverage will likely be needed as a result. In addition, if a pet grooming service's property is damaged to the point where business cannot be conducted, a business income loss will result.
Crime Insurance for Pet Grooming Services – Embezzlement and theft of money and securities are the major crime risks posed to pet grooming services. Cash registers should be monitored and all incoming checks should immediately be stamped "for deposit only". Pet grooming services should pre-screen employees with detailed applications and reference checks in order to reduce the risk of employee dishonesty.

Five Techniques for Stereo Miking Drums
By Matt McGlynn A single pair of multipattern condenser microphones can provide at least five distinct overhead drum miking choices with surprisingly different sonic characteristics. To demonstrate these different sounds, we recorded a drum kit with a pair of KSM44A overhead microphones five different ways. The drums, the room, the preamps, cables, and composition remained the same. The only variable was the position of the microphones (and in one case, the polar pattern). How different can a single pair of microphones, in the same room with the same drums, really sound? As you listen to …

Sewing Room.
I have been dreaming of a craft/hobby nook for me. I know a bit about sewing and I have been meaning to try this hobby again. Our spare room is slowly getting cleaned up and hopefully I can set up my new sewing machine in there. I am also looking into Ladybug steam cleaners and maybe an extra air conditioning for the room. However, upon checking our budget, it seems that I can only afford a wall fan for now.

Wests Tigers coach Tim Sheens will name an extra hooker on his bench for Monday's NRL clash with Canberra, to cope with the loss of suspended skipper Robbie Farah.
Farah was handed a two-game ban after pleading guilty to a grade two dangerous tackle charge for his challenge on St George Illawarra halfback Ben Hornby last week.
It will be the first time in two seasons the Tigers have gone into a game without their captain.
Sheens has named Liam Fulton as hooker for the visit of the Raiders, he said he's likely to include a specialist hooker on the bench, which could see young rake Pat Politoni make his debut.
"Robbie is a unique player and we play a lot of football around him," Sheens said
"Liam not being a specialist hooker, he's a little bit like Dean Young he's a utility player.
"He's played some hooker for us and we'll use a specialist hooker at some stage of the game."
The Tigers welcome back Gareth Ellis, who missed the defeat to the Dragons last Friday due to a badly corked thigh, and Sheens has been grateful for the longer turnaround.
The Raiders have injury issues of their own with star fullback Josh Dugan out with a shoulder injury and workaholic back-rower Shaun Fensom sidelined with a torn biceps muscle and utility forward Trevor Thurling with a knee injury.
Despite the losses, Sheens is still expecting a difficult evening and warned his players they must improve their defence after Dragons front-rowers Trent Merrin and Michael Weyman ran riot against the Tigers' young props Aaron Woods and Matt Groat.
"We've got to stand up in the middle," he said.
"Last week we were pretty poor there. A lot of the pressure put on our defence was by our own offence mistakes and a 9-3 penalty count, we've got a bit of work to do in that area.
"We've challenged the forwards this week to stand up and I'm confident they will."

Categories > Books > Harry Potter > Heart of the Warrior Book IV
Chapter 36: Preparations are Key0 Reviews
Harry Potter/Ninja Turtles 2003 crossover. Read the first three books first. Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts is marked by the return of the Triwizard Tournament. More complete summary in profile.
Hogwarts was now back in full swing as the third task of the Triwizard Tournament was only two months away. Harry didn't know what task he'll be going up against but he ruthlessly prepared. When most students were studying for exams, which Harry fortunately did not have to take, Daphne, Theodore, Harry, Ginny, and Hermione were hard at work researching any kind of spell that might help Harry get through the third task and any unforeseen circumstances that whoever stuck Harry's name in the goblet that may come along with it.
Harry used his own personal library but Snape had also given in a pass to use the restricted section of the main Hogwarts library. Snape seemed rather willing to let Harry use the restricted section to increase his chances of winning the tournament after Cedric Diggory made a snide remark about Slytherins that Snape managed to overhear. Snape threw the boy in detention for a week, giving him a disadvantage in preparing for the tournament while giving Harry a distinct advantage in the Triwizard, at least over Cedric. Then again no one ever accused Snape of being impartial or fair. Snape never once claimed he was impartial or fair either.
So that lead to this day where Theodore, Daphne, Hermione, Ginny, and Harry were in an empty dungeon classroom, pouring over book after book, looking for anything that might help Harry in surviving the third task of the Triwizard Tournament.
"Look at this one," commented Hermione leafing through a rather large tome. "/Gelu/, it gives your opponent a severe case of frostbite, paralyzing them so they are unable to move to attack you. Of course, it could be countered by most fire spells."
Harry pulled out one of his many lists that he was taking notes on.
"We'll file that under the use the next time a Death Eater jumps me file," said Harry, scribbling on his parchment. "I appreciate you all taking time out of when you should be studying for exams to help me find things I can use for the third task. Your grades may take a hit but…"
"Don't worry about it Harry," said Hermione waving her hand dismissively. "Grades aren't as important as getting through to the third task prepared and out in one piece."
"On the plus side, we'll be sure to get high marks in Defense Against the Dark Arts," said Theodore.
"Yeah by the time we're done, we'll know pretty much every deemed acceptable by the Ministry offensive and defensive spell," said Daphne, thumbing through a book absent mindedly. "We've dipped into N.E.W.T. level magic and beginning level Auror magic. We're the most aware students in the school by a long shot."
Harry just nodded his head absent mindedly; he had to learn every spell, every curse, every bit of magic that he could find out about for his own survival. The plan for Harry was for him to survive whatever the third task of the Triwizard Tournament was, not necessary win it because winning and losing mattered little to Harry at this time.
"Harry, are you okay?" asked Ginny. She was really worried about Harry, he seemed extremely jumpy and paranoid these days, especially at the third task got closer. It did not seem like he got any sleep in quite a while.
"What?" asked Harry stumbling out of his thoughts about the third task. "No, I'm fine. Just looking over my list of spells that I can use in the third task."
Ginny dropped the subject quickly, because if Harry wanted to talk about what exactly was troubling him, he would do it when he felt like it and not a second before.
"I think we should stop now, break should be over in five minutes," said Daphne, consulting her watch.
"We can pick this up later," said Hermione as she joined the others placing the books back in Harry's bag.
Harry scribbled down a few more notes before reluctantly putting his work away. He needed a test dummy to practice some of these spells on and the Room of Requirement would be the perfect spot to give Harry the tools he needed. Harry had a feeling this may be the most crucial moment in his entire four years of Hogwarts so far.
Time went on, with Harry preparing for any possible dangerous situation that could possibly happen in the Triwizard Tournament. His knowledge of curses expanded greatly in these many weeks and while he wasn't quite at Auror level, he might have had knowledge of the average seven year student which put in on par with the other competitors in the Triwizard Tournament.
This all lead to less than a month before the third task. Harry had been informed that Ludo Bagman wanted all the champions to meet at the Quidditch field at Nine O Clock at night for information pertaining to the third task. Crouch was once again absent and Harry had a feeling that he was forgetting something that might have happened that left a clue to Crouch's condition but he just couldn't quite grasp exactly what it was.
Harry reached the field a few minutes before the meeting was supposed to take place, the other three champions already there. The three were muttering about what might lay ahead in the third task, shutting Harry out of the conversation. Harry really didn't care; he wasn't that keen on forming alliances with the other champions, his only goal was self perseveration and getting through the third task without something bad happening. Harry looked behind him and backed off horrified.
"What in the hell did they do to the most sacred land of the Quidditch Field?" hissed Harry underneath his breath, looking around at the twenty feet high hedges in disgust. They seemed to have been grown into a maze of some sort, with twists and turns through the pathway. A theory developed within Harry's mind about what the third task may be but he decided to wait for confirmation before jumping to conclusions.
In a flash, Ludo Bagman bounced onto the field, looking rather excited as always. Harry still had the impression that Bagman acted like an overblown cartoon character to get people to notice and pay attention to him.
"Good evening everyone, hope everyone is ready for the third task, happening on the 24th of June," said Bagman happily. "This task is the grand finale of the Triwizard Tournament and it looks pretty straight forward if I may say so myself. Still, can any of you guess the surprise from what we have here on the Quidditch field?"
No one spoke. Harry knew but he did not really feel like humoring Bagman by saying anything after he defiled the Quidditch field.
"Maze," grunted Krum breaking the silence.
"That's absolutely correct!" said Bagman excitedly; giving Harry an impression that Bagman had a future career as a game show host. "Like I said a few moments ago, this task is a pretty straight forward one. The Triwizard Cup will be in the center of the maze. To win this task and get full points, you need to simply get to the counter located in the center of the maze."
"That's it," said Fleur skeptically. "All we have to do is get through the center of ze maze."
"No, it's actually not that simple," said Bagman. "There will be a few varieties of magical creatures that you have to get past. Enchantments will have to be broken and there are a few trick paths that will lead back to the beginning with no way to retrace yourself. Should be exciting shouldn't it!"
Harry joined the others in nodding politely; even through it was a bit forced. Anything would be excitement when your own neck wasn't on the line for it.
"I believe that is all we need to be discussing so if you would head back up to the school, that would be excellent," said Bagman before waving his hand at Harry. "Harry a quick word if you will please."
The other three champions walked up to the school without another word as Harry wondered what exactly Bagman wanted to talk to him about.
"Yes, Mr. Bagman, what did you want to talk to me about?" asked Harry.
"Just a bit of idle conversation, Harry," said Bagman. "You're the youngest champion in the tournament so you would be at a bit of a disadvantage and all. So if you want a few tips, a few pointers to get through the maze. A little preview on some of the obstacles maybe so you can research ways onto counteract them, then I will be more than happy to give you a helping hand."
"No thanks, Mr. Bagman, I'm fine," said Harry with a bit of forced politeness.
"Harry, you got thrown into the Tournament when you truly did not want to compete," said Bagman. "With three other competitors with a few more years of education a head of you, definitely putting you at a right disadvantage. So if I can do anything to help, anything at all, feel free to ask."
"I'm fine, really, Mr. Bagman," said Harry.
"Alright Harry but if you change your mind…" said Bagman before walking off leaving Harry alone to ponder why Bagman would be helping.
For a brief moment, Harry wondered if Bagman had put his name in the Goblet of Fire but why would he be trying to help him if he did? Plus, Bagman didn't seem like the scheming type that would put together a plan. Harry walked back towards the school, thinking about the Triwizard Tournament third task. One thing was for certain, Harry was able to formulate a clearer strategy now that he knew exactly what he had to face off against in the third task. It was less than a month away and Harry was going to go into the maze completely prepared with a strategy to get him out of the maze.
"Three days before the third task Harry," said Ginny in a tired voice as she was with Harry in the chamber underneath the Slytherin library, making sure her boyfriend didn't overdo his preparation before the third task. "Don't you think you should take it easy before you…"
"Ginny, I have to be ready," said Harry. "You're supposed to be randomly firing curses at me anyway."
"Oh I'll say you're more than ready…Stupefy!" yelled Ginny but Harry blocked it without a half a second's hesitation with a shield charm. "See, you know how to block everything I've thrown at you…Diffindo!"
"Protego!" muttered Harry, blocking Ginny's cutting curse. "Yes I know I know how to block anything but one can never be too prepared."
"Harry, this is insane," said Ginny before Harry gave her a stern look. "Expello!"
Harry levitated a chair wordlessly in the path, causing the full blunt of the banishing charm to hit that instead of the chair which caused the chair to fly into the wall, breaking into hundreds of tiny pieces of wood. Ginny looked at what had happened in shock, as if she couldn't believe she hit something that powerful but Harry looked extremely pleased.
"See Ginny, if my reflexes weren't prepared to block that, I could have been splattered across the wall and all my bones broken," said Harry.
"It wasn't that powerful, Harry," said Ginny modestly.
"Oh yes it was," said Harry. "Trust me when I say I know when something could be dangerous enough to cause a bit of damage."
"Well, I do have to admit that my magic packs a bit more of a punch within the past few months," said Ginny. "I really didn't think of it but ever since a little after Christmas it seemed as if I was growing in power."
Harry just nodded; he had a theory on why Ginny might be gaining in power. It was due to the Compatibility Bond that they shared, Harry knew he had to that bond with Ginny, there was no other way. Of course Harry never told Ginny about this bond, mostly because Harry didn't know enough about Compatibility Bonds to explain it to her fully. All he knew was the two people that shared the bond would be fanatically loyal to each other and would draw upon each others magic.
Harry continued practicing for the third task for about another hour before calling it a night when it was clear that Ginny was getting very irritated with Harry blocking her every attack in the dueling session.
The next morning, as the third task got closer still, the feeling was extremely tense not just because the third task, but because the other students at Hogwarts were working on their exams. Harry woke up early, going down for a quick Breakfast so he could have a few hours to prepare himself for the third task in a mere two days. Of course it had been some time since something extremely bad happened to Harry and it was only a matter of time before something hit the fan.
That morning in the Daily Prophet, Harry saw something that he feared would happen for some time. He had been getting the paper regularly to make sure Darthmorth didn't make a comeback to sprout his rubbish once more. So far it seemed as if Darthmorth had retired from dragging people's names through the mud.
The latest article was perhaps one of the most stomach turning pieces the Daily Prophet ever had written.
"Look at this," hissed Harry angrily to Daphne, Theodore, Hermione, and Ginny one morning.
"It can't be Darthmorth, you got rid of him and Lucius Malfoy would do everything in his power to make sure he doesn't come back, because that would throw his son straight into Azkaban if Malfoy broke that agreement with you," said Hermione logically.
"It doesn't say its Darthmorth, but it sure reeks of his style," said Daphne scanning the article with a disgusted look on her face.
The five scanned the article; Harry read it many times and was starting to get a few uneasy looks from some of the other students who had also read the article. Still, Harry felt he had to read it in full one more time, the article was like a car wreck that he couldn't look away from
The Green Menace: A Daily Prophet Special Report
The Dangerous Truth about Harry Potter's Secret Family
By The Informant
Just when you thought you knew all the nutcases that threatened the livelihood of all innocent people, more just crop up daily. The latest of the violent terrors that live out there are mean and yes, they are green. Let's talk Turtles, as in four violent mutated rejects that terrorize the people of New York, while violating the civil liberties of the fair citizens of New York. Popping out of the sewers, they assault unsuspected citizens of New York. Many have had encounters with these vicious creatures, including well respected Muggle New York businessman Oroku Saki, who also has ties to the Wizarding world through his various dealings. Saki says: "These Turtles are a danger to anyone who wants to live an honest, terror free life. They are nothing but trouble for anyone who crosses their path and will not stop their terror on the fair citizens of New York. I fear if they are not kept in check, the danger they possess will spread to other locations." Sadly, the four mutated Turtle creatures are not the only terror that the poor innocent people they cross have to fear. The mastermind behind the terror of these Turtles is a vicious, blood thirsty mutated rat, only known as Splinter who has been rumored to be an experiment gone wrong by the American Wizarding Government, a government who has been rumored to be attempting to develop secret magical weapons to overthrow established governments like the British Ministry of Magic. No one seems to know where these Turtles and their rat leader would strike next but the most disturbing fact is they got their hands on young Harry Potter at a young age, brainwashing him into following their perverse ideals, taking him away from his rightful guardians Petunia and Vernon Dursley. The Ministry of Magic is taking steps to ensure that Harry Potter will be brought in and deprogrammed from the dangerous ideas that he has developed in what was sure to have been years of terror with this mutated scum, before being returned to his proper guardians, the Dursleys. Potter will be competing in the Triwizard Tournament on June 24/th/ but we wonder what extent the boy would go to win the third task and the Tournament due to the dangerous influence that he went through at the hands of his mutant "family."
Harry just sat back, holding his breath because he really and truly did not trust himself to speak after reading that utter piece of garbage from the Daily Prophet. A group of first year Ravenclaws shot Harry uneasy looks, as it seemed as if a few people were seeing Harry in a new light due to the unique circumstances of his family. Harry had a distinct impression that his popularity was about to take a slight plunge due to this lovely propaganda piece from the Daily Prophet.
"What is this rubbish about sending you back to the Dursleys?" asked Ginny. "They can't do that…"
"The only way I'm going back to the Dursleys is in a bodybag," said Harry in a chilling voice, devoid of any emotion at all and his friends didn't argue that point because Harry looked deadly serious about the fact that he'd rather die then step one foot into Number Four Privet Drive ever again.
"The only thing I want to know is who in the hell is this Oroku Saki character?" asked Theodore. At the mere mention of Oroku Saki, a look of pure hatred contorted on Harry's face which Hermione was quick to catch on to.
"You know, don't you Harry," said Hermione quietly.
"You're too smart for your own good Hermione," said Harry curtly before pulling himself up and walking out of the Great Hall with another word.
Hermione opened her mouth but Ginny cut her off.
"Let it die Hermione," said Ginny. "Harry will tell you if he wants to and not a second before."
"But…" said Hermione.
"No," said Ginny briskly, cutting Hermione off before she could get what she was saying out. "Just let it die."
Dumbledore sat in his office with an evil smirk on his face. The Daily Prophet article opened a window of opportunity for him. The Wizarding World didn't take too kindly to things that were different from them for the most part and four giant mutated Turtles and a mutated rat was definitely extremely different. The only reason Dumbledore never went to the Ministry of Magic with the evidence of the Potter boy's post Dursley living arrangement was that Dumbledore didn't want to do anything that might damage his credibility but now, Dumbledore had found a way to finally manipulate Harry into the direction where he wanted him to go.
Dumbledore knew exactly who Oroku Saki was and knew he must have had some kind of sinister motive in mind for exposing the Turtles and the rat to the Daily Prophet. Still, Dumbledore could now force a bit of control on Harry, once he got the Ministry of Magic to order Harry back to the Dursleys. The boy would be willing to do anything Dumbledore said to get out of that hell and Dumbledore's plan would be back into motion. After all, it wasn't like Potter could legally go anywhere else other than the Dursleys. Black was still on the run, a fugitive due to Dumbledore's brilliant deception. Lupin was a werewolf and thus had no legal standing to attempt to take the boy in. The mutants were out of the picture and Dumbledore knew Harry Potter had no other living family. Dumbledore made sure of that some years ago, capped off by wiping Lily Potter's memories clean and living her in that New York alleyway for dead. She had to have expired some time ago and Dumbledore felt it couldn't have happened to a better person. Lily had always questioned Dumbledore's word and authority and Dumbledore made her pay the ultimate price.
Nothing would stand in the way of Dumbledore's plans to take control of Harry Potter.

I loved this soup, great flavor, the sage makes it. I cut back on the salt when I roasted the squash. Just used store bought parmesan croutons on top.I will make again.
Butternut Squash Soup with Sage and Parmesan Croutons
ogieann Posted: 07/11/10
AmandaGA Posted: 01/15/11
I love salty food and this recipe was WAY over the top. If I made it again I would cut the salt back, use low sodium chicken broth, and skip the salt on the croutons.
Christy2456 Posted: 10/28/10
A repeat recipe! You have to make the croutons, they're worth it. I also added carrot for a true mirpoix and used picorino instead of parm. And I didn't simmer for 30 mins, more like 10, it would have been too thick otherwise.
emmee915 Posted: 10/29/09
Such a yummy soup!! The only thing I cut back on was the salt. I only used about 1 1/2 tsp.
Susie1 Posted: 11/15/11
This soup is very tasty, but too watery. I would cut back on the broth until after blending it. Use more if needed. I am roasting more squash to thicken it up. Hope it works!

Thank you very much for the castle and buildings NeonKnight--although I will not be running a pirate campaign for awhile, I suspect Rocky Port may crop up in some fashion... ;) Should you find additional old drawings of buildings and feel like posting them, they would be more than welcome.
Also, have you ever taken a calligraphy course? Some of the lettering on your maps is very flowery and well done--it reminds me of the old Greyhawk Darlene map.
Take care and good mapping.
Nope, never took a Caligraphy course, but I did get a calligraphy set of pens, inks etc for Christmas way back when I was around 14. Sadly my skills have likely degenerated since then, but I have been told my penmanship for simple printing is very nice and neat, too much so for a man :P
Exactally what I wanted! Great work on the maps. You could use lighter graph paper though...
FYI, you can get that sort of graph paper at most university bookstores. I have a couple of pads I bought from a couple of years ago.

University Holidays and Summer Schedule
Staff/Faculty Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Resources
College Students Who Sleep in Drink More Study Less
Scheduling classes later in the day provides college students with more time to sleep in the morning, but it may also encourage them to stay up later drinking, new research suggests. Researchers found that undergrads whose classes started later were more likely to binge drink and get lower grades.
|Author: Shelly Nolloth
Date: Wednesday, June 15th, 2011
|Return to Archive
"Later class start times predicted more drinking, more sleep time and modestly lower grades, overall," said the study's co-lead author Pamela Thacher, associate professor of psychology at St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y. in a news release from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. "Later class start times seemed to change the choices students make: They sleep longer, and they drink more."
The study is slated for presentation on Tuesday at SLEEP 2011, the Associated Professional Sleep Societies meeting in Minneapolis.
Thacher and her colleagues asked 253 college students to perform cognitive tasks and keep a sleep diary for one week. They were also given questionnaires regarding their sleep, class schedules, substance use and mood.
The study found that students who had later class start times tended to stay up later, were not as well rested, had more daytime sleepiness and earned slightly lower grade point averages.
Students with this schedule also reported more alcohol use and more binge drinking. Self-described "night owls" were more likely than students who consider themselves "morning people" to drink more, the study noted.
Thacher concluded that drinking more at night negated the benefits of being able to sleep in -- especially because alcohol tends to disrupt sleep. "The effects of later class start times might include more sleep," she said. "But this might be offset by lower quality sleep, which in turn might affect their ability to engage intellectually with their coursework."
The same may not be true however, for younger students. The study's authors pointed out previous studies of elementary and high school students found later school start times may improve attendance and mood among students.
Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, the data and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Study Confirms That, Yep, Men Are More Forgetful
He forgot to pick up what you asked for from the grocery store again? There might be a scientific reason for that.
By Anna Breslaw
Special Offers
A huge Norwegian study that tested the memory skills of 48,000 people both men and women has found a significant difference between the genders in their capacity to remember things. Specifically, that men have poorer memory skills than women (via U.S. News & World Report). The study also discovered that men were basically the same level of forgetful from age 30 to 60. Only past 60 did age seem to become a factor in memory loss. In other words: That annoying thing you already knew has been scientifically proven.

Three Mid-Cap Stocks To Keep An Eye On
Fani is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Though the S&P 500 is up nearly 12% year-to-date, keeping investors in high spirits, it's the S&P Mid-cap 400 that's really on fire. The index – which serves as a performance barometer for companies with a market capitalization in the range of $1 billion to roughly $13 billion- has been scoring eye-whopping returns for over 15 years now, bringing out the green-eyed monster in Wall Street's behemoths.
While verging toward the prime of their life cycle, mid-cap companies are done being the new kinds on the enterprise block, but still have plenty of room to gallop. So, what's there not to like about them? Here is a handful of intriguing picks.
Skyworks Solutions (NASDAQ: SWKS), a leading provider of high performance analog and mixed signals semiconductors, thrives on a diversified customer base sprawled across multiple end-markets. For the most recent quarter, the company delivered hunky-dory results that beat analyst's average estimates by a hairbreadth. Revenue came in at $425.2 million, carried by a 17% year-over-year jump in GAAP reported sales. The company earned $0.48 per share, marking a 14% improvement over the prior-year quarter's earnings.
Overall, over the past five years, profits as well as the stock's price went through the roof. Moreover, so far the company has done a pretty good job of unlocking value from its assets:
Yet, lately, Skyworks has been flirting with 52-week lows. The stock is up 8% year-to-date, but during 2012 it experienced a steep downtrend of around 20%. Last year, Qualcomm did a number on Skyworks by announcing plans to introduce a breakthrough chipset; and, looking ahead, some analysts fret over Skyworks not having an ace up its sleeve to survive the cut-throat competition.
Nevertheless, recently, the company struck another sweet deal with Korean smartphone giant Samsung, enabling it to jockey for position in an overcrowded market. Not only that, but Skyworks has enough cash piled up in its coffers to pursue an aggressive growth strategy. Its working capital – the lifeblood of every business – is flourishing, while its liabilities look meager compared to its assets:

Next, given the fact that, over the past three years, the Healthcare sector within the S&P Mid-cap 400 has posted an annualized return of nearly 19%, I thought I'd take a closer look at two healthcare players: United Therapeutics (NASDAQ: UTHR) and Herbalife (NYSE: HLF):
UTHR Revenue 5 Year Growth data by YCharts
United Therapeutics recently got a slap on the wrist from the FDA. The company's treprostinil pill for treating high blood pressure in the arteries that supply the lungs failed to get the thumbs up for the second time in a row. After that, United decided to take the plunge and initiate Phase I trials of Pluristem Therapeutic's placental expanded cells in patients diagnosed with the same disease.
For the first three months of 2013, the company reported mixed financial results. Diluted EPS dropped nearly 8% on year-over-year basis to $1.19 a share. However, sales climbed as much as 20% to slightly above $245 million beating analysts' expectations.
Overall, fundamentally, the company looks pretty strong. Its current ratio of 3.8, as well as its eye-catching gross margin of around 85%, handily crush the industry's same variables. But, still, now might not be the right time to start a position in this stock. Over the past year, United performed outstandingly and returned 45% of its value. At the moment it is trading with a tiny distance from its 52-week range of around $65, with the majority of analysts tracked by Wall Street Journal giving it a "hold" rating.
On the other hand, the Wall Street Journal's analysts give investors the "green light" to buy Herbalife. Their average target price of $60.83 points to upside potential of at least 50%. Not only that, but the global nutrition company delivered killer profits for the first calendar quarter. Revenue rolled in at $1.12 billion, up by 17% compared to the same period in 2012. Diluted EPS came in at $1.10, marking a thumping 25% year-over-year increase.
The company just froze a plan for a large stock buyback. It was supposed to initiate a debt offering and then use the money to fund the buyback, but the resignation of auditor KMG threw a wrench into its plans. Nonetheless, during the first quarter of 2013 Herbalife repurchased more than $162 million in common shares outstanding. Moreover, it paid nearly $31 million in dividends ($0.30 per share), indicating a yield of 3.20%.
Considering its low payout ratio of roughly 30% and its fruitful cash flows, there's ample room for dividend hikes in the future. Finally, if you tally the returns from price appreciation and dividends received over the past five years, this is what you get:

The Foolish bottom line
Like it or not, there is always a cautionary tale to be told when investing is involved, and in this case it's the Sharpe ratio. In other words, is your investment worth the risk? According to Standard & Poor, since 1991, the mid-cap segment has been delivering consistent returns that put some of the strongest players within the S&P 500 to shame.

What's more impressive is the fact that, over the same period, risk-adjusted returns from investments tied-up in mid-cap stocks were approximately 50% higher compared to the respective returns delivered by investments in large-cap stocks. So, I ask again: What's there not to like about mid-caps?

A friend who lost her job nine months ago told me that her daughter had begun to struggle in school and act out. Her teachers asked my friend if anything at home had changed since the little girl's disruptive behavior was out of character and came out of the blue.
My friend concluded that it was the undercurrent of tension in the house from the job loss. She and her husband – who has been cut back to part-time hours – had been having a lot of terse discussions about their money problems and whether they could afford to fix the car or order a pizza that night.
While they did not mean to scare their child with their comments, apparently the girl sensed the pressures and responded to the stress in ways that showed up in school.
There is a fascinating New York Times story dealing with the toll on children when a parent loses a job. Among the information in the story that relates to education and child development:
A recent study at the University of California, Davis, found that children in families where the head of the household had lost a job were 15 percent more likely to repeat a grade. Ariel Kalil, a University of Chicago professor of public policy, and Kathleen M. Ziol-Guest, of the Institute for Children and Poverty in New York, found in an earlier study that adolescent children of low-income single mothers who endured unemployment had an increased chance of dropping out of school and showed declines in emotional well-being.
In the long term, children whose parents were laid off have been found to have lower annual earnings as adults than those whose parents remained employed, a phenomenon Peter R. Orszag, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, mentioned in a speech last week at New York University.
A variety of studies have tied drops in family income to negative effects on children's development. But Dr. Kalil, a developmental psychologist and director of the university's Center for Human Potential and Public Policy, said the more important factor, especially in middle-class households, appeared to be changes in family dynamics from job loss.
"The extent that job losers are stressed and emotionally disengaged or withdrawn, this really matters for kids," she said. "The other thing that matters is parental conflict. That has been shown repeatedly in psychological studies to be a bad family dynamic."
Dr. Kalil said her research indicated that the repercussions were more pronounced in children when fathers experience unemployment, rather than mothers.
The Times story has other interesting info as well.
For those in the classroom, have you seen students impacted by a parental job loss.?
For parents, has a job loss in the family affected your child's school performance?

Thanks to the New York Times and other publications for alerting us to the depression and anxiety felt by children and teens in families struggling with financial, health care and housing problems due to unemployment or other circumstances. Kids don't always express their feelings clearly, and parents or teachers may underestimated their distress.
In my practice of child and family psychiatry I found that some families concerned about depression got help from David Burns' Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy.

At our school, we have a few kids living in campers, more living in motels, and others probably worse off we don't know about. I can certainly understand that these kids probably do not have the Roman Empire, mitosis, quadratic equations, and grammar on the front burner of their minds. It has got to make a difference in their schooling!

Job loss affects us all. Children cannot go to school and say I am frustrated because my parent loss her/his job, we are about to lose our home, I cannot go on a fieldtrip,etc. But what they do is suddenly have a behavior change such as fighting, bullying, sleeping in class, problems concentrating. Unfortunately at my middle school they would be written up, given detention, parents called, etc instead of the prevention intervention specialist or graduation coach being available.
Many parents are unaware that if they become homeless(living in a hotel or car, having to move in with someone else) the child is eligble to remain in the school with transportation provided by the school system. This may be a small comfort to families, but at least remaining in the same school provides some stability. All schools in GA, have a homeless coordinator, which the name should be changed.
Fewer economic resources do affect student achievement. Parents become disengaged in learning process when they are needing to find ways to have basic needs met.
Glad to have this article.

Job loss…Been there. Done that. Yep, still 'there'. My heart goes out to parents who are not only trying to stay (emotionally) afloat but have to keep high the spirit's of their children.
For me, losing my job was one of those defining moments in life. I knew I had a choice: I could choose to lose my way (my mind) or rise to the challenge and follow what my Spirit tells me to do, always remembering that I am more than a statistic on the news.
I'll share with you what I was told the day I got "set free" (laid off) from my job: "This is a new chapter in your life. WRITE ONE HELL OF A CHAPTER!" And I did just that! You can, too!

For the January 2011 Movie Jam, Team Sugar Water presents to you: The Choice. An animation written and voice acted by Aigis, and animated by Team Sugar Water. This animation was made in a little under 48 hours.
The writing and voice acting (both parts), and the animation for the character affectionately known as "Man 2" was done by Aigis.
The animation for the character known as "Man 1" (by order of appearance) was done by J-qb, who joined the team late after an original member left.
The backgrounds for the animation were done by Kakashi1930, who started the team in the first place, and chose my story as the story to animate.
And the music was made by Havegum.
Edit: Front Paged? This pleases Team Sugar Water.
Rated 2 / 5 stars March 19, 2011
Considering 48 hours, this was pretty good.
Although I suppose I have to do a PROS AND CONS sort of deal right? *sigh*
-When I got told the script, and how it went in chat one day I really loved it.
-Bringing back such an old joke to make it feel modern and appeal to others was cool!
-The music was very well done and it felt easy flowing.
Alright, now for the three cons that really ticked me off here.
-I felt the voices were too rushed, and weren't very clear. Making it seem hard to watch.
-The character design was a bit off and felt like you didn't care.
-The mood wasn't set right, it didn't set a tone at all for me. Just felt like two dudes talking, which isn't funny, even with the potential it had.
To be honest, I loved the idea. But it all felt very rushed, and didn't feel right at all. The tone wasn't set so it felt like JOKEJOKEJOKEJOKEJOKE, which may work on Family Guy, but not quite here.
I liked the placement, loved the music.
That's why I'm going this a 4/10, and a 2/5.
Keep at it ;3
Rated 5 / 5 stars February 26, 2011
Very funny one :) Deserves mah 5/5
Rated 0.5 / 5 stars February 25, 2011
Terrible animation, absurdly annoying sound quality, and a lame premise. Robocop and Megatron are displeased.
Rated 5 / 5 stars February 20, 2011
those decisions ARE very hard to make.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars February 20, 2011
evryoen seems to have the same problem
every low score I see is from someone who doesn't know the game, given threepoele you choose one to marry, one fuck and one to kill, If you understand that it is a pretty funny and well done piece, though the animation was a little rough i credit that to time restrictions

Hey there!
This blog is dedicated to all my snail mail activities. Posts revolve around my pen pals, stationery, stickers, envelopes, postcards, stamps, gifts and snail mail of course.
Oh yeah.
I'm Ani, 18. I like making weird faces.
I got into snail mail because I think snail mails are quite lovely and romantic. It's like Christmas whenever I see letters or postcards inside my cold metal mailbox. I like getting to know other people's culture, food, and what their city looks like. I also want to learn French, Japanese or Korean.
I have tons of interests. I like video games, art, novels, music, movies, markers, food, cartoons, anime, manga, my guitar, piercings and tattoos, etc.
I listen to a variety of music. From Arctic Monkeys, Led Zeppelin, the Libertines, Rolling Stones, the Strokes, the Maine, Kate Nash to Big Time Rush and other Nickelodeon and Disney stars to Bump of Chicken and SCANDAL to Big Bang, Block B, 2NE1, Beast, Miss A, etc.
When I don't have ready-to-use stationery and envelopes, I design my own envelopes and stationery. I also like sending cute little drawings with my letters.
I currently have three regular pen pals from the past year. They're from Australia, North Carolina, and Scotland. But with some serious searching skills (haha) I've found more pen pals. A girl from Korea contacted me which was just extremely delightful. And she's absolutely adorable. Plus two more Americans. And another one. How many is that?
But I do enjoy getting new ones so if you want one, my askbox is always ready to receive you. :)

"A lot of that came from the Vietnam experience, when folks who were Vietnam vets started businesses and turned their backs on their military experience," he said — pointing out that the mood in the United States at the time was profoundly anti-war, and often anti-vet.
Dyer, an active-duty Army officer for 51/2 years in Germany and the U.S., says times have changed.
"The general mood in the country right now is positively disposed toward veterans in general, and that carries over to veteran business owners," he said.
Vernon Williams, a Columbia-based consultant and president of the Vernon Williams Co. LLC, served in the Army from 1964 to 1967. He says he is hoping to use his veteran status to attract business but is not sure the pitch will work.
"I've registered on various websites as a veteran-owned business, but I don't know I can say that's opened some doors for me," said Williams, who runs workshops on saving money as well as a comparison-shopping website.
Even if it's not bringing them business directly, some vets say their military experience has influenced the way they run a company.
That's been the case for Alan Klug, 75. The third-generation president of Klug Uniforms in Baltimore, a supplier to restaurants, hotels and hospitals, graduated from Mount St. Mary's University in Emmitsburg with an accounting degree before being drafted in 1958.
In Korea, the Army specialist served in a "fire direction control" unit before moving to a special division designed to boost morale. He was an assistant coach of what ended up being the championship football team that represented the Army in Korea. Before coming home, he also helped put together a baseball team with players from minor league teams back home.
"The biggest thing it did was give me the confidence to step forward," Klug said. "In accounting, you take the quiet role. However, in running a company you have to be dynamic, you have to be innovative, you have to be imaginative, and all these things I picked up while working for [military leaders] in Korea. It's either produce or catch heck."
Klug says he hadn't promoted his veteran background until recently, when he began adding it to his emails and direct mailings and listing his firm in veteran business directories.
"There's a state of awareness now that people that served the country are special people," he said.
Today's returning veterans have an especially great interest in starting their own businesses, according to statistics from the Small Business Administration. The SBA, which says veterans age 35 and younger make up the largest age demographic of veteran business owners, has found that about a quarter of returning veterans are interested in entrepreneurship.
Iraq war veteran Christopher Gonzalez, who served in the Marine Corps from 1999 to 2007, was a scout in a reconnaissance platoon, moving ahead of his outfit to look for danger. He ultimately oversaw a group of 50.
In 2008 he began doing project management contracting for the government.
"You go from a person that has no responsibility and are groomed to be a small-team leader, then in charge of larger [groups]. You're taught to think independently and work independently, but the work is for the better good of a team," Gonzalez, 32, said. "You're taught if you have an opportunity, you take it, and that's what I did."
Running A-G Associates in Annapolis with his business partner, Peg Anthony, Gonzalez has relied on his Marine Corps training and finds parallels between his military and business experiences. The Annapolis company offers project management and human resources consulting and training as a government subcontractor.
"I was new to the government sector but understood the way the military worked and [Anthony] had a lot of experience with defense agencies," Gonzalez, A-G's president, said by phone from Afghanistan, where is he is currently deployed with the Marine Corps reserves. "The concepts of the military are the same: discipline to get the work done."
McCormack, owner of MapleWorks, also credits his military background with giving him the discipline to run a small business. After leaving the Army in 2007, he began running the company he'd bought two years earlier. He has broadened the company's name recognition outside Maryland, built up the website to become the firm's main selling tool and counts drummers for national recording acts among his customers. He makes about 10 drum kits and up to 20 snare drums a month at a workshop behind his house in Millersville.
He has found that customers often appreciate the fact that the business is veteran-run. His two employees are Iraq veterans.
"There's a good amount of custom drum companies out there, and [being veteran-run] sets us apart," McCormack said.

New Delhi, Jan 6 (IANS) Delhiites witnessed yet another chilly day Wednesday with dense fog engulfing the national capital and bringing the mercury down to 5.6 degrees Celsius. Weather officials have forecast a further drop in temperatures in the next two days.
The minimum temperature dropped a degree below the normal Wednesday and settled at 5.6 degree Celsius. The maximum temperature was 19 degrees Celsius, two notches below the normal.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the visibility was 100 metres at 7 a.m. It rose to 400 metres by 9 a.m.
"There was dense fog in the morning which lowered the visibility level. However, things improved once the day advanced," an IMD official said.
The IMD has forecast a further drop in temperature Thursday with maximum settling around 20 degree Celsius and minimum at about 4 degrees.
"There will be fog in the morning but skies will remain clear later during the day," the official said.
Unlike the weekend when fog wreaked havoc with flight schedules at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport, flight operations were normal Wednesday.
"The visibility was alright for flights to continue normal operations. There were no disruptions because of the fog this morning," an airport official said.
The fog was thickest above and around the Yamuna river, which passes through the eastern part of the capital, and commuters had a tough time getting to work.
Fog also hit train schedules and as many as 29 trains were cancelled and 12 were running late in the national capital due to fog, an official said.
"Twenty-nine trains were cancelled, four have been rescheduled and 12 are running late because of heavy fog here," Anant Swarup, spokesperson of the Northern Railways, told IANS.
