I received this for Christmas in the bisque color. I am pleased with the overall quality & softness. My initial thought is that the color is masculine but I kept it since it is comfortable. It is not as warm as the fleece robe it replaces and is mid calf rather than longer ( I am 5'10") The cut is very generous.

I had a "spa-quality" terry bath robe that was very heavy and therefore hot. I wanted a light/middle weight terry robe to replace it, and this one fits the bill. It's very soft, but not plush, like the ones I see in the stores, so it's also absorbent. I don't like the fleece and plush ones - they just don't feel right to me. The weight on this one is perfect - not too heavy, but enough to provide modest cover. The only thing I would change is the length. It's a little long for me, but that will be welcome in the winter, and better too long than too short.

This is a super cozy robe but because it is microplush fleece it is not heavy but very warm. The color is a beautiful lavender. It has a random monogram which is strange but no big deal.

Someone described this robe as "flimsy" and said they "returned" it. This is all a matter of opinion of course, but I like this robe because it is "light." It's not too light, but it's not too heavy either. I love fleece next to my body. To sleep in, to hang around the house, to just relax in. I like this robe because it is not a winter fleece. It is an anytime fleece. It's warm enough to keep me warm, but not heavy enough where I'm going to heat up inappropriately. I'm ordering another one of these because I like it so much. I ordered another fleece robe from O. during the winter which is really, really thick and heavy. It's great for the winter, but now that's it's spring I want one that is light. This is so pretty and fluffy with two deep pockets. They are great robes. Havn't washed it yet though, but I imagine I will wash and dry separately from other laundry.

I got this as a gift to replace an old fleece bathrobe and this was perfect. It is super soft and warm. It is a little pinker than I expected but the person I gave it to wears it all the time, especially Sunday mornings.

Everywhere I went I only found fleece bathrobes at this price. I really like the terry cotton because it breaths and absorbs water after showering. I think for the price this is a great find. Thinking of ordering another.

Wow...this bathrobe is soo super soft !! And even better, it actually works..instead of those microfiber or fleece robes just rubbing the water around on your skin, this one acttually absorbs the excess water off of your skin. Love it.

I am a robe fiend, and as such, am very picky about my robes. No fleece- it wears out too fast, and also is not absorptive when fresh out of the shower. Terrycloth only. Must be soft. Must be thick and heavy. Must not be undersized. I kept my last robe for ten years as it slowly turned to rags, searching all that time for a suitable replacement that was affordable, to no avail. This one, however? Is perfect!

I shopped every store in my city for a "Man's terry cloth bathrobe". Impossible to find. I could not find one on line either. So a friend suggested I Google "Man's Spa Robe". Bingo! There is was. The magic word being "Spa". The stores carried Fleece robes only. Thanks to you my grandson was very happy with the spa robe. Exactly what he wanted.

I am 5'9 115 lbs and got the chocolate in size medium. I know people said it ran large, but there were no smalls left. It is roomy, but it's nice to throw on after a shower and lounge in. The cotton is comfortable and warm, but not hot and sticky like fleece. Good quality and amazing price!!!

I purchased this for my wife. We get in our outside hot tub a few times a week. She had gotten me a cheap fleece robe from a store and it sucks next to wet skin, but you want to stay warm in the cold weather. So I got her this one and she loves it, it quickly drys and keeps her warm. She loves it. It is holding up great to regular washings. I would recommend this to ANYONE.
Wed Oct 31 00:00:00 MDT 2012kameyo1 Rating:4.0
These robes (I ordered for two daughters) were very reasonably priced for sturdy, all-cotton bathrobes. Like a lot of the other reviewers, I've tried the "micro-fiber" and "micro-fleece" robes and the synthetic in them starts to show wear after a few washings even if you do all of the inconvenient "suggestions" about drying on low and without fabric softener. These robes look like they will last and they are warm and plush enough to feel good.

I actually bought a women's small for my tween daughter (don't worry... the sizing is fine for a woman. She swims in it) so she'd stop wearing mine out of the shower. Kids robes are all fleece these days. Warm on winter nights but yucky to try to put on when getting out of the shower. These robes are soft, and heavy. They should live through years of washing before they start to get thin.
Sat Mar 22 00:00:00 MDT 2014ohredhead Rating:4.0
Nice and long, which I prefer. I chose a medium, mainly because I'm 5' 4", and I didn't want to have to role up cuffs or trip on the bottom. This all works, although it doesn't wrap as generally around me and feels a tad snug across the chest. I haven't laundered it yet, so can't comment on that. The robe isn't quite as thick and warm as I'd hoped it would be. That said, it will be sufficient (with some fleece PJ's underneath) to handle cold, winter mornings (I live in a 100-year-old house in Ohio, so that's important.) I'm sure it will be perfect for the rest of the year. So, although I'm not thrilled, I still happy I bought it.

I love this robe! I had a cotton jersey robe so old it fell into pieces and I've been looking for a replacement. I am not fond of fleece as I think it's too warm, yet I want something that feels warm and comfy, This organic cotton robe fills the bill. I feel so warm and snug, and yet not smothered, and the price is just right! Comfortable and perfect for chilly mornings or evenings. There are only a couple of things I would like different about this robe - a few inches longer because I like really long robes, but it does come to mid-calf or slightly below, so it is long enough and longer is a personal preference, and there is no hook to hang it with. A real plus though is no tags to irritate or chaffe at the neck or sides, and the belt is sewn on so no losing it or having to rethread it back through though loops. An excellent buy and the color was a true soft sage. I am very happy with this purchase.

This robe is on the light side for a spa robe. The fit is a little off. It is a very loose fit with a belt that could be longer. It also puts out alot of lint in the dryer.

I purchased the robe for my boyfriend. It is extremely soft and fits him perfectly. It is very nice and I would definitely purchase it again.

Like with any new products, I would wash before wearing. I washed the garmet as directed and afterwards there was a tear in it that was caused by less than sturdy material. Definitely would not recommend.

One of the nicest robes I have ever had. The right weight, not too heavy, not flimsy. Soft turkish cotton, I chose the gray, a pleasant light color, not dull, rather has a touch of silver. Great gift idea.
Sep 6, 2014yava from Dewey, Az., Rating:5.0
received this and it was exactly what I wanted. Nice, thick, heavy terry cloth. Nice and long. I am 5'8' and it is only about six inches off the floor. Overstock was out of the color I wanted but the rose color they did have and ordered is a good dark rose, not pink. The robe seems to be well made and was not a problem to wash. I believe this will be nice and warm for winter.
Sep 5, 2014greyhoundhome from Decatur, IN, Rating:5.0
Love this robe. The quality of the material is wonderful like a heavy t-shirt material. The belt is sewn on the back of the robe - no need to thread the belt through holes after washing. No searching for belts in the washer or dryer. The color is great and has not faded but, I do use cold water and detergent meant for cold water wash. I would recommend this robe to anyone who appreciates light weight comfort that keeps you feeling comfortable and cozy.

Light weight. Order a size larger than you would wear, Nice looking, inexpensive robe.

Many children have an occasional nightmare, usually of monsters or similar creatures. If your child wakes from a scary dream and has difficulty getting back to sleep, speak calmly and reassure your child that it was only a dream, advises the American Academy of Pediatrics. Encourage your child to describe the dream if he or she wants to, but again, provide reassurance. If your child begins having more frequent nightmares, talk to your child's health care provider.

A Danish appeals court has rejected a lawsuit against Jyllands-Posten, the newspaper that published the cartoons depicting the Islamic prophet Muhammad in 2005. The court said it was not proven that the purpose in printing the cartoons was to portray Muslims as criminals and terrorists or to make a mockery of Islam. One of the most controversial drawings showed the prophet wearing a bomb-shaped turban with a burning fuse. (Via Time)

If you want to stay downtown and be close to everything . I would stay here and there is a parking structure right next door so you can get daily parking rates.
Really nothing . I knew what I was paying for by the pictures.
The elevators
The staff, from front desk to cleaners, were all very helpful and polite. I liked that the hotel is close to public transportation, several bus routes leave from just outside the door, the metro station is just five minutes walk away. I liked the selection of food available at breakfast. Had a very pleasant stay.
It was great to be back at this hotel after 2 years. Looking forward to come again with the next occasion.
COCKROACHES AND BEDBUGS I started itching the night after i slept u piece of trash Very stinky
central to everything Close to transport links Close to Staples centre, supermarket around the corner, food places, shopping centres. Very helpful staff Great breakfast provided with good variety Great value for money, you get what you pay for. Really enjoyed my stay here.
Situated in downtown LA w/c is accessible to good restaurants Free breakfast King bed suite is very spacious
Bed is a bit hard Building needs some rehab
Location, near the 7th street metro Easy access to Hollywood, Santa Monica and Long Beach. The breakfast was good and the air conditioning did work in that area
It needs a good clean, but if you are out all day, you don't notice how dingy it is or that the air conditioning is not effective. I have stayed in hostels which were cleaner and with a more effective efficient staff
The hotel is clean and spacious, and reasonably priced. The staff are helpful and nice.
The room doors are very hard to open in and out. The hotel is far from the city, inconvenient to go shopping. breakfast is okay but they run out of milk one morning. Otherwise good?
Best place to stay for business at an affordable price.
Could have been a bit cleaner.
Close to everything
Air condition could've worked better
Big bed
AC was on the lowest temperature, but it was extremely hot throughout the night.
Uncourteous staff, high tariff compared to facilities, very poor cleanliness, stinking place
I love some people, who take care of us. The roommaid, the woman who take care of breakfast. And head of the service man. They were really nice.
Many cockroaches in bedroom. They didn't change bedsheet at the first check in, So I have rashes but after the third night I told them change, Rashes gone.
Large clean rooms with a comfortable bed. Good location with lots of amenities nearby. Easy walk to the LA Convention Center.
You could hear some street noise with people partying till late on the weekend.
The room was cozy, and the bedding was beyond comfortable! All for a very cheap price considering the location and the day. I didn't check out the continental breakfast, but they threw that in for free as well. Also, the wi-fi was simple to obtain and hassle free! The front desk concierges were helpful and courteous as well.
There was only one elevator working at the time, and it was a bit inconvenient trying to use it as my room was all the way on the 12th floor.
1. Good location.close to public transport and eateries. 2. Female receptionist was great. The others not so great.
1. Air conditioner kept us awake at night. Very very noisy. However, it couldn't be turned off as the room was very hot. Don't think it's working properly even with it on the room was still warm. 2. Shower did not work upon arrival. After an 15 hr flight I needed a shower and had to wait for it to be fixed. 3. No fridge in room. 4. Room was small. No natural light.
Excellent location and next to the Metro. Breakfast is fine, not plentiful but enough.
Quite an old building and small room.
Rooms above 7th floor have a reasonable view.
Showers very small A washcloth was not supplied by maid almost every day Bathroom didn't have a shelf for toiletries No Hook on bathroom door
The location and price
Quality of room
Great location. Great price. Suite was spacious and bed was comfy.
Only negative is that the room smelled a little moldy.
It was cheap and cheerful. Just what we wanted, a cheap base for our short visit
We choose here because the website said there was an in house pub. There was however not even a bar.
Location, location, location The hotel is 3-4 blocks from LA Live and the Staples Center, 2 blocks from the Metro, and it is downtown near restaurants and bars. The breakfast was nice. Amazingly enough, the bed was comfortable.
The rooms are small, it needs a major renovation, there is no water pressure or hot water, and the cleaning staff needs to replace the items used. There is no central air so the room air conditioner didn't keep the room cool
Location Simple place with no hassle Easy breakfast (free)
Small single beds Key cards were VERY temperamental Rough around the edges in terms of decoration No view from my room

Threatened claps of thunder could not have competed with the roar of the applause for the Class of 2012 Friday evening.
The 82nd graduating class of Robert E. Fitch High School tossed beach balls, floated bubbles, cheered and laughed, and for sure a few tears were shed as 299 graduating seniors and 45 graduating night school students said their collective goodbyes to their now-alma mater. But not before getting plenty of worldly, practical and heartfelt advice from peers and administrators.
Class president Andrew Lewis encouraged his classmates to embrace Jeffersonian ideals, keep in mind, "you only live once," and remarked he looks forward to seeing "what happens at class reunions."
Salutatorian Charles Young, realizing where his bread is buttered, thanked the community for supporting the building of a new high school and reminded his peers that none have been promised a "yellow brick road to happiness," but encouraged all to stay true to the ideals of "character, responsibility and strength."
Valedictorian Randall Fitzmorris said he had quite the time figuring out what words would be most meaningful and memorable." He spoke of the support he's had from his family, friends and teachers.
"Teachers pushing me to do more, friends pushing me to unwind and my family trying to find that middle ground," he said. He spoke eloquently about specific students who inspired him and closed with a genuine sentiment: "The best is still ahead…it's just never easy saying goodbye to a family." His Fitch family.
And Commencement Speaker Daron Chandler moved the entire audience and class with his touching admission about when he first arrived at the school having transferred from California. He recalled "hiding in the bathroom to avoid sitting alone at lunch." But he would soon not only make plenty of friends but become an honor student and member of the Fitch Falcons robotics team. He reminded his class that if they "want to change the world, we first need to change our attitudes."
Principal Joseph A. Arcarese, who received a thunderous, rousing applause and ovation from the Class of 2012 talked about the class's stellar achievements, from the more than $100,000 handed out in scholarships to the more than 500 'honor cords' for academic achievement to the myriad accomplishments of clubs, associations and sports teams – baseball and robotics champs to name a few – and name dropped colleges and universities the class will be attending from the Princeton to Yale. But perhaps the biggest hand of the evening, besides the conferring of diplomas was for the young men and women of the Class of 2012 entering the military.
Arcarese asked the class to make four agreements in their lives: make their word their bond, not to take anything personally, not to make assumptions ands to always do your best." And on the latter, the class cheered.
And then the class lined up to receive their diplomas with families cheering and shooting video, throwing flowers and taking photograph, culminating with the playing of the school alma mater and the Pomp and Circumstance recessional.
"I can't believe it's over," a teary-eyed mother named Tammy said.

Tutorial - Introducing ZK - Part 3
index.zul and EmployeeController.java functionality step by step
To make it easier to explain how data binding works, Figure 8 contains the complete source of index.zul. This article will now step through each relevant part and include, where necessary the relevant parts of the applied controller.
Figure 8: index.zul complete code
<?init class="org.zkoss.zkplus.databind.AnnotateDataBinderInit" root="./employeediv"?> <?page title="Employee manager" contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"?> <div id="employeediv" apply="org.zkoss.jtjexample.controller.EmployeeController" hflex="true"> <vlayout> <listbox id="lstEmployee" multiple="true" rows="5" model="@{employeediv$composer.getEmployeeModel, load-after='btnAddEmployee.onClick, btnDeleteEmployee.onClick'}" selectedItem="@{employeediv$composer.currentEmployee}"> <auxhead> <auxheader label="Employees" colspan="4" /> </auxhead> <listhead> <listheader label="ID" hflex="2" /> <listheader label="First Name" hflex="3" /> <listheader label="Last Name" hflex="3" /> <listheader label="Age" hflex="1" /> </listhead> <listitem self="@{each='employee'}" value="@{employee}"> <listcell label="@{employee.id}" /> <listcell label="@{employee.firstName}" /> <listcell label="@{employee.lastName}" /> <listcell label="@{employee.age}" /> </listitem> </listbox> <groupbox hflex="true"> <caption label="Employee" /> First Name: <textbox id="txtFirstName" cols="20" constraint="no empty" value="@{employeediv$composer.currentEmployee.firstName save-when='btnUpdateEmployee.onClick'}" /> Last Name: <textbox id="txtLastName" cols="20" constraint="no empty" value="@{employeediv$composer.currentEmployee.lastName save-when='btnUpdateEmployee.onClick'}" /> Age: <intbox id="intAge" cols="3" constraint="no empty, no zero" value="@{employeediv$composer.currentEmployee.age save-when='btnUpdateEmployee.onClick'}" /> <button id="btnAddEmployee" label="Add" width="60px" height="24px" /> <button id="btnUpdateEmployee" label="Update" width="60px" height="24px" /> <button id="btnDeleteEmployee" label="Delete" width="60px" height="24px" /> </groupbox> </vlayout> </div>
Loading the data from the controller
It is time to start populating data. This is done by binding our controller functions for retrieving the model's data with our listbox. The complete listbox zul is outlined in Figure 9. The controller source code in model="@{employeediv$composer.getEmployeeModel}" and selectedItem="@{employeediv$composer.currentEmployee}" have return type of ListModelList (ZK's data representation) and a bean of type Employee respectively. The code snippet for this is shown in Figure 10. The controller's method responsible for retrieving all employee data is named getEmployeeModel().This method can be accessed in the view by setting the listbox's model attribute to employeediv$composer.getEmployeeModel as outlined in Figure 11.
Figure 9: The listbox with databinding
<listbox id="lstEmployee" multiple="true" rows="5"
model="@{employeediv$composer.getEmployeeModel, load-after='btnAddEmployee.onClick, btnDeleteEmployee.onClick'}"
<auxheader label="Employees" colspan="4" />
<listheader label="ID" hflex="2" />
<listheader label="First Name" hflex="3" />
<listheader label="Last Name" hflex="3" />
<listheader label="Age" hflex="1" />
<listitem self="@{each='employee'}" value="@{employee}">
<listcell label="@{employee.id}" />
<listcell label="@{employee.firstName}" />
<listcell label="@{employee.lastName}" />
<listcell label="@{employee.age}" />
Figure 10: EmployeeController source snippet - getAllEmployees and Current Employee
private ListModelList _model = EmployeeService.INSTANCE.getModel(); public ListModel getEmployeeModel() { return _model; } public Employee getCurrentEmployee() { return _currentEmployee; } public void setCurrentEmployee(Employee e) { this._currentEmployee = e; }
Figure 11: Binding for getEmployeeModel
The data binding expression can be broken down. Readers should note that the expression beginning with "employeediv" is the name of the root component, which also contains the apply attribute. It is then followed by a dollar sign and composer. ZK evaluates this as "look for the component with id employeediv and retrieve its composer." A '.' is then appended and followed by the function name that is to be accessed. This will assign the model to the result of the getEmployeeModel function in the controller.
Secondly, the line shown in Figure 12 uses the same mechanism to retrieve the reference for employeediv's composer. It is then followed by currentEmployee. Readers should also note that Figure 10 outlines a function and a bean named currentEmployee. This demonstrates that data binding the syntax to access beans and functions differ. This is outlined in Table 1. The attribute selectedItem is set to keep track of which bean is selected from the Listbox. When the selection is changed, ZK will automatically update the bean accordingly.
Figure 12: Databinding Selected Item
Access identifier
To access a function in the controller through data binding, it is necessary to use the full function name
When accessing a bean from the controller, it is only required to use the bean name, there is no need to include "get" or "set". However, the bean in question must have both a getter and setter.

Over half a century of British Army flying operations in Germany came to an end earlier this month when the last three Westland Lynx AH.7 helicopters left Princess Royal Barracks in Gutersloh.
The ending of flight operations by 1 Regiment Army Air Corps (AAC) in Germany on 4 October is a major milestone in the service's transition to the AgustaWestland Lynx Wildcat.
Army plans call for 1 Regiment to relocate to Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton ahead of its eventual merger with the AAC's other light utility helicopter unit, 9 Regiment. As the most senior unit, 1 Regiment will remain in existence and take command of 9 Regiment's three frontline squadrons, as they move South from Dishforth in North Yorkshire.
1 Regiment is expected to begin converting its first squadron to the Lynx Wildcat next year, following in the footsteps of 847 Naval Air Squadron, which was the first UK helicopter unit to begin undergoing conversion to the new helicopter.
The AAC and Fleet Air Arm Lynx Wildcat squadrons are to share the same pool of airframes once all the helicopters on order are delivered.
It is planned that eventually the AAC will form four frontline Lynx Wildcat squadrons and a fifth squadron will act as an operational conversion unit for all Army and Royal Navy personnel training to operate the battlefield reconnaissance variants of the helicopter. The then Equipment and Support Minister, Peter Luff, told the UK parliament in December 2011 that the number of battlefield reconnaissance variants to be procured was to be dropped from 34 to 30.
Although its last aircraft have left Germany, 1 Regiment continues to support UK forces in Afghanistan with its 652 Squadron deployed in the country until the end of this year. The Regiment's other squadron returned from Afghanistan last month.
"There is no final date for the merger [of 1 and 9 Regiments] but it will be post-October 2015," a Ministry of Defence (MoD) spokesman told IHS Jane's . "There are five flying squadrons currently between 1 Regiment AAC and 9 Regiment AAC, all five will remain. Four squadrons will be the front line Wildcat squadrons, one (652 Squadron) will become the Wildcat Operational Conversion Squadron".

BarclaysAll of the banks on the UK's high streets owe their existence to public financing. According to the Bank of England, the British taxpayer provided more than £1 trillion of public money to rescue the banks from collapse.
Through short-term loans, loan guarantees and quantitative easing (pumping money directly into the economy), the Bank of England helped to bolster bank's balance sheets. Banks such as Barclays therefore benefit from a promise that taxpayers will never let them fail, because it would be too damaging to the UK economy.
Thus, even though it did not take any direct state help during the financial crisis, former Barclays boss, John Varley, had to acknowledge the crucial role played by the government in rescuing the City as a whole:
'Even those banks who did not take capital from governments clearly benefited (and continue to benefit) from these actions. We are grateful for them, and our behaviour should acknowledge that benefit.'
Barclays, in particular, took advantage of a stronger banking system. It scooped up assets from the US arm of investment bank Lehman Brothers at bargain rates in the days following its collapse. That business has since proved extremely profitable and what remains of Lehman is suing Barclays for a £3 billion profit it says the British bank made on the deal.
On the foundations of public support, Barclays has thus returned to making billions in annual profits. It is also paying out mega-bonuses to employees - Barclays total bonus pot in 2010 was £2.3 billion - repeating the corporate incentive system which led to the reckless behaviour behind the original crisis.
For example, on becoming the new Barclays boss, Bob Diamond - a champion of casino banking - walked away with a pay packet of £11.5 million. This sum is 1000 times what the average Barclays cashier earns and would pay for the salaries of 542 nurses or 380,000 Education Maintenance Allowances. Diamond now plans to accept a bonus of £9million - one of the largest in the world.
However, under questioning by the treasury select committee, Diamond was unrepentant, saying that the time for 'remorse and apology' in the financial sector was over. John Thurso MP then asked Diamond if Britain must 'accept your bonus culture or not have any banks', Mr Diamond agreed that that was the 'nub of it'.
Banks such as Barclays might 'insist that they are private companies and should be allowed to pay themselves whatever they wish'. But in reality Diamond, Varley and the rest would be in the job centre clutching their P45s had it not been for the extraordinary generosity of the British public.
It's crazy - we are effectively paying these bankers to hold us to ransom. Isn't it time we sent Diamond and his like their marching orders before they can do any more damage?

Productivity Growth, Technical Efficiency and Technical Change on Minnesota Farms
AbstractChanges and trends in farm productivity have been of intense interest to many involved with agriculture. This study used data envelopment analysis (DEA) to estimate the output-oriented Malmquist total factor productivity (TFP) index from panel data for 1993-2006 for farms in Southern Minnesota. Bootstrap methods were used to estimate confidence intervals for the productivity, efficiency change and technical change indices. The model included three inputs (labor, land and immediate expenditures) and six outputs (corn, soybean, milk, hog, beef, and nonfarm income). Productivity growth was found to be positive during the period, with an average annual productivity growth of 6.6 percent. However, TFP growth has been slowing down in recent years and indeed negative in 2000/01, 2002/03 and 2005/06. In the second stage of the analysis, the significance of various factors that might affect farm performance was estimated. Farm size (as measured by the log of farm income) was correlated with higher productivity which may help explain the increase in farm size in Minnesota farms in recent years. Government subsidies were found to have a negative impact on farm performance supporting the argument that agricultural subsidies may create disincentives for farmers to improve their productivity and efficiency. A higher nonfarm income ratio was positively related with higher productivity growth. A higher proportion of hired labor has a negative effect implying family labor is more crucial than hired labor in improving productivity.

Pulse of the Market: W/E February 26
My weekly market barometer to cut through all the chatter and evaluate what happened and formulate next weeks plan
Value Line Index -- I use this because it contains 1700 stocks making it broader than the S&P 500 or the even narrower Dow 30 - Down .4% for the week but still up 4.65% for the month.
- The Index closed on Friday above all 3 daily moving averages -- 20, 50 & 100 DMA
- Barchart's 13 technical indicators had 8 buys, 3 holds and 2 sells for a 48% overall buy rating
Barchart market momentum -- The percentage of stocks trading above their DMAs for various periods -- If the figure is above 50% then you have better than 1/2 a chance to make some money -- all 3 slightly down but still in your favor
- 20 DMA -- 73.25% closed above the 20 DMA -- down from 74.89% last week
- 50 DMA -- 58.95% closed above the 50 DMA -- down from 61.39% last week
- 100 DMA -- 66.14% closed above the 100 DMA -- down from 67.38% last week
Ratio of stocks hitting new highs to new lows for various time frames -- 1.0+ bullish, 1.0 neutral, below .99 bearish -- looks like we are still OK this week
- 20 day ratio of new highs to new lows -- 1171/271 = 4.32
- 50 day ratio of new highs to new lows -- 486/138 = 3.52
- 100 day ratio of new highs to new lows -- 406/102 = 3.98
Summary -- We were just slightly off the momentum we had last week but not really negative. Might be a good week to cull what hasn't performed and search of some new replacements next week.
Wall Street Survivor results -- Well for the month the S&P 500 was up 2.85% and 5 of our Top Stock contestants beat that mark. Anthony Mirhaydari lead the pack with a 10.57% MTD return and I managed to follow closely with a 10.05% increase. On Friday I sold Tyler Technologies (TYL) because it just wasn't maintaining a price above its 50 day moving average. I'll hunt for a replacement later next week.
We've turned another page on the calender so let's see who the new leader will be next month.

10. A Giants who came before your time whom you wish you could have seen.
This is blasphemy, I know. I'm a terrible, terrible, awful person. But of all the players my dad told stories of as we listened to baseball on the radio and tried to make tomatoes grow (this can be hard in Nevada)…it wasn't Willie Mays he talked about most, it was…Juan Marichal.
I don't know, in the end, if this was actually possible, that I could not choose Willie Mays. It just seems wrong not to. But there would be a contest, at least a small one.

Death, sex and race dominate Marc Forster's sombre Southern drama, which casts Billy Bob Thornton as a racist Death Row warden drawn to Halle Berry, the wife of the last prisoner he executed. The leads' lives have a symmetry that risks triteness, but there's no knocking Forster's handling of tone and actors. Thornton makes a potentially thin character full-blooded, while Heath Ledger quietly impresses as his anguished son. And Berry? Well, let's just say that Oscar was no tokenism.
This is a performance of force, pathos and tenderness.

There is something at the bottom of every new human thought, every thought of genius, or even every earnest thought that springs up in any brain, which can never be communicated to others, even if one were to write volumes about it and were explaining one's idea for thirty-five years; there's something left which cannot be induced to emerge from your brain, and remains with you forever; and with it you will die, without communicating to anyone perhaps the most important of your ideas.

Salvation Army donation kettles to accept credit cards
You no longer have to stroll past a Salvation Army donation kettle this holiday season with your head down because you're out of cash.
A nascent program in El Paso County, Colo. will be the first Salvation Army chapter in the United States to allow donors to use their debit and credit cards at five contribution locations. (Update: A similar program was unveiled in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and in Plano, Texas on Nov. 14).
Mike Smith, who oversees kettle-based donations for the El Paso chapter, says one reason for the experiment is due to an increasing number of people carrying plastic instead of cash. Smith also cites slowing donations, which have decreased by 10 percent, and a 25 percent increase in demand for charitable services this year because of economic troubles.
"We're seeing people from middle-class neighborhoods who didn't used to need help now needing food, rent and utility assistance to get back on their feet," he told the Colorado Springs Gazette.
The locations where debit and credit card transactions are accepted will change during the campaign, which run until Dec. 24. U.S. Bank will oversee the transactions to monitor their security.
Some Salvation Army red kettle locations also accept used gift cards with balances for donations. The charity collects the cards, which can be from any retail store, and sends them to a Californian company that converts the balance into cash. If a location isn't handy, gift cards can be donated online too.
In 1891, Salvation Army Captain Joseph McFee created the kettle donation tradition when he placed an iron kettle in San Francisco's Oakland Ferry Landing that read, "Keep the pot boiling." He used the money people placed in it to fund a Christmas dinner for the poor in the area. The act soon spread across the United States and is now also a common site in Korea, Japan, Chile and many European countries.

Credit is borrowing! How can anyone give what doesn't belong to them?
Vann Duggins said:
Debit is accepted and preferred. Lower transaction fee for the Salvation Army and it comes directly out of their checking out. Debit can be set as the only payment option on these devices.

Albert Cisson and his wife, Deanna, own the new Service Center World, a complete auto, motorcycle, ATV, PWC, boat and racecar repair, sales and service facility and Mr. Cisson's wish to his Ormond Beach neighbors?
"I'd like everybody to come by and meet us," he said. "We are unique in the industry. We have a devoted 14,000 square-foot building and are able to work on not just the family car, but your motorcycle, your ATV, your PWC, your boat and if you're into racing, we can work on your racecar, too."
He also stated some of the guiding principles of the new business.
"Some places are getting to the point where they charge you for everything," he said. "We're not going to nickel and dime everyone."
He thinks it is ridiculous to charge $50 to do a diagnostic on a car to install a $40 part (with labor).
"I also am instructing my guys when they have a car in for repair, let's do a safety inspection for the owner," Mr. Cisson said. "Go around and check the lights, brakes, and tires. Just do a walk-around. Can you imagine the frustration of a driver who has had his/her car in the shop for something and on the way home one of his headlights is out?"
The husband and wife team has ambitiously opened in the former Sunbelt Equipment Rental building at 720 S. Nova Road, Ormond Beach, which they plan to ultimately turn into a 24/7 operation, maintaining and repairing everything from company fleets to race teams.
They previously operated the Motorcycle Outlet Store. They have moved their motorcycle inventory into the new location. The front section of the showroom has become the Motorcycle Outlet Store and in the repair shop, the cycle section already has dozens of customer's bikes being repaired. They've only had possession of the building for three weeks, but Mr. Cisson said the transformation is going "... much faster and better than I ever anticipated at this point."
They employ 11 highly skilled and loyal employees, all with experience in the industry. They also will have a parts department within the shop to house all the normal inventory as well as specific items pertaining to fleet accounts they have to avoid any undue "downtime" when providing preventive maintenance or repairs.
A separate two-bay section in the rear of their building houses their machine shop (if they can't find a part, they'll make it). The machine shop will also enable them to work on high-performance motors.
State of the art computerized diagnostic equipment will allow Service Center World to evaluate performance and problems to be able to repair virtually any make or model vehicle, although the 1929 Ford Model A parked outside the showroom is an unlikely candidate for such examination.
Mr. Cisson, an Ormond native, started working with his father in his Ormond auto repair business at 13 until going to college in North Carolina. Fresh out of college, he moved to Las Vegas and became interested in racing. The Las Vegas Motor Speedway was just being built and he worked for the speedway for several years. Returning to this area, he worked for International Speedway Corp. for 10 years and then started a marketing company.
The Cissons both come from "family-owned" business backgrounds, so are familiar with the plusses and minuses such arrangements have. His wife is a vital cog in the team with tons of marketing experience.
"She runs that part of the business," Mr. Cisson said.
"My wife's parents started a business from their basement related to credit card marketing," he said. "They eventually had one of the largest of what are now called 'call centers,' which they sold before all the changes in the industry."
"We work together, we live together, we play together and we still get along, and that's half the battle" he said with a chuckle.
Another unique service that Service Center World is providing is sale of non-ethanol gasoline. This is particularly important for the "metric" bikes and high performance engines.
While Service Center World services many Harley-Davidsons, the bulk of their bikes-for-sale inventory is the "metric" bikes.
He speaks highly of his employees, both their skill level and that they are aware of the "vision" for the company through the next few years.
Call Service Center World at (386) 872-4000 or visit servicecenterworld.com.

Ottis Gibson wants his West Indies side to use their Twenty20 success to help improve their one-day cricket. They go into the series in Australia ranked seventh in ODIs and Gibson is looking for them to move up the ladder.
West Indies open their tour against a Prime Minister's XI in Canberra on Tuesday with speculation surrounding Gibson's future. He will almost certainly be in charge for the five-match ODI series and the one-off T20 – West Indies first match against a major nation since winning the World T20 in October.
"We are the T20 world champions and we are proud of what we achieved in that tournament but that doesn't put any added pressure on the team," Gibson said. "Hopefully with that victory and what we achieved more people will come and watch us. Read more

Welcome to Florida Atlantic University (FAU). The history of FAU is made up of students just like you, off-campus students. From its opening in 1961 through 1984 FAU was a Junior and Senior college. Many students transferred to FAU, lived off campus and commuted. Today with over 30,000 students, the majority of our students live off campus.
What does this mean for you? It means everything that happens on campus is for all students, not just on-campus students. Research shows that involvement and being connected to campus life is a key indicator of persistence and graduation. We want you to take flight with us and get involved. Commuter and Transfer programs now resides in the Student Union. Just as on-campus students often have living rooms in their apartments, we want you to consider the Student Union your living room! Come in, sit down, mingle with friends and have some fun between classes.
Our office is looking forward to providing quality co-curricular programs and that begins with you. If you have an idea for a program or simply want to get involved but are not quite sure how, send me an email, firstname.lastname@example.com. Here's to an amazing year! Go Owls!
Warm Regards,

Why I think this world should end- Spoken Word Music Video by Prince Earead more
Published on Sep 29, 2014
When you no longer believe that God is a cosmic puppeteer, why pray? An exploration of progressive Christian ideas about prayer. In the stories handed down to us from our ancestors, we hear the disciples of Jesus ask, "Lord teach us to pray!" For generations Christians have continued to seek ways to communicate with the ONE we call God. Progressive Christians seek new ways of understanding God and notions of God as a cosmic puppeteer who lives in the sky are being replaced with images which point toward the Reality which lies at the heart of all that is. As we begin to see God as the ONE who lives and breathes in, with, through, and beyond us, our understanding of prayer is evolving. This Keynote presentation includes youtube videos of John Shebly Spong – Honest Prayer Parts I and II, and Fred Plumer on Prayer and Progressive Christianity.

There is nothing like that feeling of the heart soaring when music touches the soul. And knowing the deep place the music can descend into our psychology, isn't it our responsibility to approach it with caution and a critical mind? Music teaches us about who we are and can evoke feelings in us we didn't know were there. Doesn't music in sacred community, then, need to also be sacred, relevant, and inspiring?read more

Compassionate Activism for Global Healing: New Thought is a spiritually motivated way of life that embraces the ancient wisdom traditions of east and west. We embody the belief that consciousness is elementally creative, reciprocates thought, and thereby shapes all manifestation. Our principles reflect a universal conviction that the community of all life is sacred; our practices of meditation and prayer enhance a worldview promoting reverence for, and service to humanity and planet earth. New Thought is committed to global healing through personal transformation, community-building, interfaith, intercultural, and interdisciplinary understanding, and compassionate activism.read more
Millennium, seven years, beast, Armageddon — even the word "rapture"
Terms of so-called truth emanating from a final book granted little stature
An important and respected voice for liberal American Christianity for the past twenty years, Bishop John Shelby Spong integrates his often controversial stands on the Bible, Jesus, theism, and morality into an intelligible creed that speaks to today's thinking Christian. In this compelling and heartfelt book, he sounds a rousing call for a Christianity based on critical thought rather than blind faith, on love rather than judgment, and that focuses on life more than religion.read more
This book articulates a progressive faith that represents a true marriage of the academic work of the modern biblical critical movement and the historical Jesus work of the Jesus Seminar applied within the life of an active parish.read more
Through service we find love and truth in action. When we serve with love and compassion, those whom we serve become brothers and sisters, not the others.read more
The slow-moving currents in the ocean depths move in a rhythm untouched by the ever-changing surface of the sea.
