Sometimes familiarity breeds respect, not contempt, and dominance engenders awe, rather than disdain. This is true with professional investors' attitudes toward Apple, AAPL 2.3926940639269407% Apple Inc.

For the second straight year, Apple (ticker: AAPL) was the runaway winner in Barron's ranking of the world's most respected companies, as determined by our annual survey of institutional investors.
Neither the challenge of growing rapidly from a massive sales base nor assaults by multiple global competitors on its leadership in tablets and smartphones have been able to slow Apple's business or nick its reputation. The company's revenue and earnings are poised to surge 50% in the fiscal year ending in September, on the strength of new versions of the iPhone and iPad, which in turn are feeding demand for Apple's Mac computers.
Apple's surging share price has only reinforced Wall Street's warm feelings for the company, whose shares nearly doubled to $636 in April from $325 a year earlier, before easing to $580.
BARRON'S SURVEYS PROFESSIONAL money managers annually about their views of the world's 100 largest companies, based, this year, on stock-market capitalization as of April 13 as determined by Dow Jones Indexes. Our latest survey, conducted in late May and early June with the help of Beta Research in Syosset, N.Y., elicited responses from 116 investors across the country, ranging from proprietors of small advisory firms to the chief investment officers of money-management giants overseeing billions of dollars.
Participants were asked to select one of four statements reflecting their view of each company: Highly Respect, Respect, Respect Somewhat, or Don't Respect. A point value was assigned to each response, with the highest accorded to Highly Respect, and a mean score was tabulated for each company. In the case of ties, the higher ranking went to the company with the most Highly Respect votes. The managers also were asked to rank the factors they consider most important in determining respect for corporations, and were invited to contribute comments on individual companies.
Apple's knockout results to date are even more remarkable, given that the main perceived risk to its run of innovation and sales leadership was realized last year with the death of founder and lead visionary Steve Jobs, who was succeeded as CEO by Tim Cook.
A LONG WINNING STREAK in new-product launches and the deep admiration of investors are no protection against a fall from grace in future years, as this year's stinging decline in the rankings of once-beloved corporate pacesetters makes clear.

JPMorgan tumbled to No. 49 this year from No. 14 in 2011, when it was the highest-ranked bank. The company's standing probably suffered at least in part because our survey was e-mailed to participants just before the bank disclosed a $2 billion-plus trading loss, which raised questions about its risk management and landed its formerly bulletproof CEO, Jamie Dimon, in the congressional hot seat.
Despite solid sales performance that helped its shares jump 25% in the past year, Wal-Mart sank to No. 51 from No. 18, a reaction, in part, to allegations that company executives might have bribed Mexican officials to ease store-expansion plans south of the border. Wal-Mart de Mexico (WALMEXV.Mexico), Wal-Mart's publicly traded affiliate, made its debut on our list at No. 90.
Investors' patience with Pepsico, which slid to No. 30 from No. 9, is running low, as the snack and soda maker has seen profit growth slow under CEO Indra Nooyi. Moreover, the company has resisted ever-louder calls by the Street to split its beverage and snack divisions into separate companies, much as Kraft Foods (KFT) and Sara Lee (SLE) did.
THEN THERE'S BERKSHIRE, a perennial top-five finisher since it was first included in 2006, one year after Barron's launched the World's Most Respected Companies ranking. Buffett's conglomerate was always viewed as a model of opportunistic deal-making with a long-term focus, led by the richest man ever to build a vast fortune on buying stocks and whole companies.
Yet, to judge from write-in comments and conversations with money managers, respondents don't appreciate Buffett's vocal advocacy for upper-income Americans to pay more in taxes. His vigorous support encouraged President Obama to back a minimum 30% tax rate on incomes above $1 million, dubbed the "Buffett tax" with the Berkshire CEO's approval.
Says Adrian Day, president of Adrian Day Asset Management in Annapolis, Md.: "Buffett's pseudo-folksiness is just a little too much. Also, I can't respect a company whose head wants to raise my taxes."
The emotional backlash against Berkshire and its boss has nothing to do with investors' warm regard for the assets that Buffett has spent a half-century collecting. Indeed, many Buffett-endorsed and Berkshire-owned blue-chips continue to rank highly in our survey. International Business Machines IBM 0.07223535592329919% International Business Machines Corp.

IN GENERAL, THIS YEAR'S RESULTS show an investor appreciation for pedigreed U.S.-based multinationals, which echoes the dramatic outperformance of domestic stocks amid the past year's global tumult, and the more recent outperformance of quality mega-cap shares as global growth expectations have softened.
Six of the companies ranked in the top 10 and nine in the top 14 are among the 30 members of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

A bit of unintended home-country bias exists because the investors polled are based in the U.S. and focus largely on domestic holdings. This makes Nestlé's top-10 showing all the more noteworthy, and a testament to the Swiss food giant's long-term orientation, top-notch global brands, and ability to produce growth in every corner of the world, in the vein of Coca Cola.
As in years past, respondents consider strong management and sound business strategy the most important characteristics of a highly respectable company, followed by ethical business practices, product innovation, and more temporal markers such as revenue growth and stock performance. This statement of priorities also fits with the blue-chip slant of the top-ranked companies. But respondents' claims that they pay less heed to share prices are belied by the tendency for long-time leaders to sink as their stocks underperform.

TO BE FAIR, any list of the world's largest public companies is apt to have a more American cast these days, as Europe's rolling debt crises and fears of a hard economic landing in emerging markets have depressed stock values on the Continent and in Asia.

Amazon's perpetually expensive-looking stock has muscled its way into the elite in the eyes of investors who evaluate business quality for a living.
"There really aren't any comparables," says Jim O'Donnell, chief investment officer of Forward Management, which oversees $5.1 billion in assets from San Francisco. "Clearly, what they're trying to do is be the Wal-Mart of the Internet, as a global retailer with massive scale and logistical expertise."
The customer experience is "tremendous" at Amazon, O'Donnell says, and so far the company has succeeded in focusing investors on its market-share and top-line growth rather than the skimpy earnings per share that routinely make the stock among the most expensive in the large-cap market. Amazon currently trades for about 180 times this year's expected profit.
To his credit, founder and CEO Jeff Bezos told investors from the start, at Amazon's initial-public-offering road show, that the company wouldn't aim to maximize bottom-line profit or try to smooth short-term results on the way to building the world's broadest, least-expensive, and most convenient buying platform.
This idea, of giving customers great deals with a hope to one day "make it up on volume," has worked so far on Main Street and Wall, where Amazon's shares have doubled in the past two years, to a recent $220.57. But investors won't be cheering if growth hits a wall or management's focus appears to stray.

Apple and its doting shareholders would do well to take note, and consider the potential obstacles to perpetual popularity.

Other investors worry that what are now small, nagging critiques, including Apple's treatment of factory workers in China and its knack for keeping its corporate tax rate low, could grow into bigger distractions. Yet they probably would become damaging only if they were accompanied by flagging dominance in important product areas.

Cisco Systems (CSCO) was placed for years in the "great company, weak stock" category, but its repeated restructurings in search of renewed growth appear finally to have cost CEO John Chambers the benefit of the doubt. This year the company fell from No. 15 to a less-great No. 42.

The company has been denigrated as too complicated and growth-challenged, even though it actually is less complicated and has a more sustainable growth path than it did when ranked in the top 10 five years ago.
INSTEAD OF SUFFERING SLOW BLEEDS of admiration, this year's victims of unflattering headlines, prominently including Wal-Mart and JPMorgan, could well prove more resilient once stories of bribery allegations and trading gaffes fade.
Craig Giventer, portfolio manager at Financial Partners Capital Management in New York, says that "a lot of things have been thrown at Wal-Mart, not just this year but for the past 10 years, and the company continues to just power through and grow."
Wal-Mart has strengthened its U.S. store base by returning to its core focus on everyday low prices and broad selections, while methodically expanding in other parts of the world. "The company continues to generate decent growth and attractive returns on capital and trades at a valuation that's attractive for a world-class retailer," Giventer says.
JPMorgan already looks to have emerged from the worst of the blowback from its London whale of a trading loss. Its shares have been on the mend; its CEO has emerged from his Capitol Hill grilling unskewered, and the bank reported last week that more than half of the offending trading position had been closed out.
The sudden souring of opinion toward the bank was instructive in demonstrating how fickle investors can be, while also serving as a reminder that companies deemed to be the best of their bunch can often produce the most profound disappointments when they stumble.
Charles Bobrinskoy, research director at Ariel Investments in Chicago, says he looks for clues in investor surveys that suggest a company--and therefore its shares--might be either too ardently loved or unduly disliked by the market.
"Surveys tend to be backward-looking," he says. "People look at who has accomplished a lot and rank them highly. As investors, we have to say, 'Is all of it in the stock today?' "
Conversely, he says, it is important to ask whether a widely hated stock just might be an opportunity.
WHILE THE MOST RESPECTED COMPANIES rankings historically haven't been predictive of stock-trading patterns, the collective opinions of professional investors can serve as one component of evaluating companies. Did the fact that so many investors considered JPMorgan the best-managed of all banks exacerbate the market reaction to its trading loss? It is hard to argue otherwise.
With this in mind, one group notably disdained by the pros in this year's survey is global health-care companies. And that's even though the industry has been a strong performer, and the shares have fully worked off their unjustified valuation premiums of a decade and more ago.

Perhaps in future surveys the drug stocks will enjoy a reputational upgrade, consistent with a recognition of their improving fortunes. For now, however, investors seem to think they will be better off with an Apple a day.

Car, Bus or Lorry?
After an evening trying to find various equipment on the net, we managed to find a camping shop close by. So as the rain was yet again pouring down we decided to try to find it. We programmed the SatNav for a bus and feeling more confident set off for Arbury. What we didn't realise was, the being a French SatNav the French must have small buses! All went well for ...
First Full Day
Lovely comfy bed, but oh boy, is it really July. We were both so cold, at least the heating is efficient. After a good sort out, finding various cubby holes, we packed everything tightly into all the cupboards and drawers. By this time it had started to rain, but we decided to go out for another practice drive. So we set off for Market Bosworth. After trying to find the battle site, being taken down ...

She sat between us facing to the back of the van maybe in case she needed a quick escape! We made up the bed and then went to turn the radio off. Well, how many buttons does it take to shut down a radio/satnav? It took 30mins+ and even then the display was on in the ...
Day Trip to LIchfield
We decided to take advantage of the warmer weather this weekend so we headed out to Lichfield on the train. It's a gorgeous little town. The cobbled streets are lined with boutique clothes shops, pubs and cafes with lots of hidden alleyways. The first thing we saw as we hopped off the train was the grand cathedral behind some nearby buildings so we decided to head in that direction. It was just beautiful. I was stunned at ...

To ensure we landed at Heathrow to glorious weather we hauled the sunshine back across the Atlantic Ocean with us and touched down as planned on a sunny Friday afternoon. We immediately headed north to Lichfield, the people of which Samuel Johnson once described as "the most sober, decent people in England" rather generous considering that it was the last place in the country to stop burning people at the stake.

Seriously? I don't see what all the hype for this product is about. I was really disappointed. It's watery, streaky, and it only lasts a little longer than the Maybelline Line Stiletto. However, pigment/ opacity wise, the line stiletto is just better than this stuff. As for the whole "carbon black" concept, it goes on black and dries a chalky grey. I'm not impressed with this. Who knows, maybe I got a bad one?

Im on the fence about this product only for one reason. The formula is a hit and miss for me. I have repurchased this product recently and after using up my first tube, I swore by this liner! But the second tube was a miss because the formula was way too watery and not black enough, causing it to last a very short amount of time on my lids.
Overall, this is a really great liquid eyeliner and it works brilliantly!! It will basically be up to how lucky you are on what tube you end up purchasing and whether or not it is the watery formula. Personally, I would repurchase this in hopes of getting the actual black formula!

I've been wearing liquid liner since I was 12..lol, yes 12!! haha! I was allowed to wear anything as long as I didn't look trashy. I must say I've tried every single liquid eyeliner there is since then, n I must say I love this felt tip. the formula on the other hand, not so much. A little watery. If I use this felt tip with my HG liquid, I can do my perfect cat eye in 30 seconds flat... For BOTH eyes!

This formula is too liquidy and watery for me, I can see my skin through the color! Won't be buying again, might just invest in a high end liner since I do a winged look everyday.

So, I normally use Maybelline Line Stilleto, which I really like. I bought this on a whim, it was a BOGO and I heard so many great things about it on MUA so I thought, hey...why not? Well....I LOVE IT! This is identical to Lancome Art liner for a fraction of the cost! This brush is a lil narrower than my Maybelline and the black is blacker...so what's not to love? So glad I strayed from my norm to try this! I also love the stiffness of this brush. I think it would be great for liquid liner beginners since the brush is stiffer, it's easier to apply than with a flimsy brush. Even if this isn't on a BOGO sale its around $8 I think so super cheap! If you're looking for a good liquid, give this one a try!

I love thus eyeliner! It makes applying liquid liner so easy and I love the shiny black finish it has on the eyes. The fine tip at the end makes it easy to control and to draw very specific lines and wings. Great product. Will always be my liquid liner of choice.

I recently started doing winged eyeliner, and this is my go-to product to use. It's really easy to work with, even for someone who is clumsy as heck with makeup. I've tried potted liners with various brushes, liquid liners with brushes, but this one I can consistently get great-looking results with. I think it's getting time to repurchase because my felt it starting to feel drier (I've had it a few months now) and I definitely will. Only con is that it can flake off if you apply it in too many layers.

I have been using this eyeliner as long as I can remember..I love it. I am a huge fan of felt tips as I think they are really easy to control and I love how black it is. This has been my HG liquid liner and will continue to be. Love it!

This is my absolute favorite liquid eyeliner of all time! The brush is so easy to control and line with. I can control the thickness of the line I draw on my eyes and also, draw a little wing perfectly. Love love love this eyeliner. Only dislike is that the liquid can be transparent sometimes. You'll need to shake it up a bit before application but I don't mind.

this product is great if you want either a thin line or a thick,bold line! The felt tip makes it easy for you to move around the eye and create great wings! i don't know why but felt tip is always easier for me because brush tips are just too flexible.. like too flimsy for my hands since they are not very steady.. so I always go to the felt tips! What I also like about this is that the felt tip brush is longer than other brands so you can make thinner lines and wings since I don't want my whole lid to be black, hence I'm Asian with not so big eyelids. I also thought that the gold tube was for the brush tip and the felt tip ones were in black. but there were gold and black tubes for the felt tip! so I got the gold one since it looks fancier. I recommend this or the Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Eyeliner since they are very similar. This is a tad bit expensive since you don't get much product. probably lasts about 2 months if you use it daily or perhaps several days of the week.

About Jose L Santos
"I am a first generation Portuguese American. In 1952, my parents, both the eldest children in their families, immigrated to the United States from the farming town of Evora, Alcobaça, Portugal. They left behind the life they knew, a life working the land, to pursue another that they were told and believed was better, here in the United States. With little formal education and limited knowledge of the English language, they came to adapt to and like their New England environment, and never returned to Portugal.
My identity as a Portuguese American has had a tremendous impact on my values and perspective as an artist. Through my painting, I try to capture my unique culture identity by portraying the deep pride of its people as well as its still-vibrant age-old traditions.
My work is as much about the labor that goes into each piece as it is about the end result. I try to keep my artistic language simple and direct, so it speaks to the common person, who to me represents the many people who make up my community. My work allows me to visually express what I understand and observe in my family, friends, community and place.
My paintings and drawings have led me on a continuous exploration that has taken me in many directions. Through these explorations I have come to know people and places a little more intimately. By perceiving and contemplating, and then using the results to create and express, I feel like I have a closer connection to these people and places.
While much of my work is introspective and highly personal, I also enjoy capturing the subtleties of nature outside of my studio. There is much to be gained from taking the time to observe one's surroundings and creating from these experiences. Wherever I am, that's where I belong.
This exhibit showcases a body of work that has been created in the last few years. One strand that runs common to all the pieces in this show is that they are all realistic. Hopefully, by viewing them, everyone can share a common experience."
José L. Santos
Beautiful paintings, nice company and good conversation. Thanks Joana for organizing great meetup's events.

Teen injured in Pittsford crashAugust 06,2013Brandon teen
hurt in crash
PITTSFORD A Brandon teen remained in a Rutland hospital Monday after a car crash on Route 3 Sunday afternoon, according to Vermont State Police.
Police say a 1996 Honda Civic slid off the road and into a telephone pole north of Stevens Road at just before 3 p.m.
The impact snapped the utility pole and heavily damaged the drivers side door of the Honda.
The driver of the car, Kobe Pinkham, 18, suffered broken bones and unknown internal injuries, police said. He was taken by ambulance to Rutland Regional Medical Center.
A spokeswoman for the hospital said Monday that Pinkham was listed in the hospitals directory but no status on his condition was available.
A passenger in the vehicle, John Thornton, 17, of Brandon, was uninjured in the crash. Police say Thornton was wearing his seatbelt while Pinkham was not.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation although police say speed was a factor. Several homes in the area lost power after the crash due to the downed power lines.MORE IN This Just InKABUL, Afghanistan Confusion reigned in the wake of the deadly bombing Saturday of a hospital...

Simon Cowell Worth $329 Million
The Sunday Times' Rich List also ranks Simon Fuller ($617 million), Paul McCartney ($814 million) - and more.
LONDON -- Simon Cowell has gate-crashed this year's Sunday Times music rich list with an estimated fortune of £200 million ($329 million).
Cowell's widely reported entry into the top ten music mogul list came on the back of coin from his formats including TheX Factor and its export deal to bring an American version of it to U.S. eyeballs later this year.
But the man behind the X Factor and Britain's Got Talent formats trails Clive Calder, who co-founded Zomba Records and its subsidiary Jive, who tops the list with £1.3 billion ($2.1 billlion).
Calder pushes Andrew Lloyd Webber into second place with £680 million ($1.1 billion).
Paul McCartney (£495 million, $814 million) and Simon Fuller (£375 million, $617 million) also come in ahead of Cowell but he manages to be higher up the top ten than Elton John (£195 million. $321 million,), Mick Jagger (£190 million, $321.7 million), Sting (£180 million, $296.3 million) and Keith Richards (£175 million, $288 million).
The hullaballoo ahead of the full list, due to be published in the British paper on Sunday, saw a cyberspace debate break out surrounding Cowell's inclusion in the music list at that level. While he earns cash from publishing music, much of his recent success has been from owning and selling TV format shows.
Five of the top 20 young music millionaires are women with classical-crossover singer Katherine Jenkins topping the crooners with an estimated £13 million. Cheryl Cole shares second spot jointly with Leona Lewis and Katie Melua, all with £12 million. Soul sensation Joss Stone sings out the top five with £9 million.
Charlotte Church, new entry Adele, LilyAllen, Natasha Bedingfield and Amy Winehouse also make an appearance towards the top of the list.

Plantation shutters are classic and elegant
interior shutters that work with any interior home décor. If you're interested
in adding resale value to your home, saving money on heating and cooling
costs, and protecting your home's privacy, plantation shutters are
an affordable built-in solution. Here are some of the top reasons to install
plantation shutters in your home.
Improve Your Home's Resale Value
Interior shutters, particularly plantation shutters, will make your home
much more attractive to potential homebuyers if you decide to sell. Plantation
shutters are available in a variety of sizes, materials, and finishes,
which makes it easy to find ones that will complement your home's
existing décor. Because of their clean lines and simple aesthetic,
they appeal to the majority of homebuyers and are a great investment in
the future value of your home.
Lower Heating and Cooling Costs
Plantation shutters prevent heat and cold from entering or escaping your
home. This will make your heating and cooling system much more energy
efficient, as it won't have to work as hard to keep your home at
a comfortable temperature. You can also adjust the slats of your plantation
shutters to
allow natural light in during the day, which decreases your need for electric lighting. Overall,
interior shutters can greatly reduce your electricity use as well as your
heating and cooling costs.
Protect Your Home's Privacy
Window coverings can protect the privacy of you and your family. Plantation
shutters in particular will thoroughly prevent potential burglars or vandals
from being able to see any tempting valuables hidden in your custom closets
through your windows. Because most burglaries are crimes of opportunity,
the added privacy afforded by plantation shutters can reduce your risk
of being the victim of a home burglary or break in attempt.
To buy beautiful, affordable
plantation shutters in the Bay Area, visit us at Bay Home & Window. We offer customizable interior shutters
that can fit any window size or shape, and can provide free in-home consultations,
free price quotes, and free professional shutter installation. For more
information about our shutters, call us today at (800) 701-4555.
If you've installed new shutters in your home, you can paint them
to complement your home's interior or exterior design. Interior
shutters should be painted a neutral tone to preserve their clean, elegant
design. Exterior shutters can be painted in a color that contrasts or
complements the exterior paint on your home.
Watch this video for shutter painting advice from a home décor expert.
You'll get tips that will ensure that your new shutters add aesthetic
value to your home.
For a wide variety of customizable
Bay Area shutters, come see us at Bay Home & Window. We specialize in plantation shutters
and closet organzation, and offer high quality shutter brands at low prices.

Most people have a place in their home where all of their clutter ends
up. Unfortunately, this cluttered area often develops in the place where
an individual is supposed to be the most productive—the office area.
If you are experiencing clutter in your office area and it is interfering
with your productivity, you should consider getting a
home organizational system in the Bay Area. Read on to learn about the advantages of an organized office.
Time Saving
Everyone is busy, and most of us don't have any time to waste. If
your office space is cluttered, you will spend more time looking for what
you need to do your work than you will actually doing the work. Office
organization systems enable you to find what you need when you need it,
allowing you to get your work done in a timely way.
Avoid Missed Deadlines
All too often, important deadlines can be missed because necessary paperwork
does not have an organized place to go. With an office organizational
system, you can prevent missing deadlines and avoid paperwork clutter,
keeping you productive and sane while you're working.
Lower Stress
Having an organized workspace to be productive in can help you to reduce
your stress levels. Franticly searching your office space for what you
need in order to reach your deadline can add stress to your life, as can
spending more time away from your loved ones to complete your work. Keeping
your office space organized with an office organizational system can help you to
rid your office of clutter and stay on task.
To install a
home organizational system in your workspace and de-clutter your life, call Bay Home and Window at (800) 701-4555.
For more than 20 years, we have been providing the Bay Area with custom
built organizational systems and plantation style shutters. Call us today
to stop the stress from piling up in your life.
Are you having trouble keeping your belongings organized? Without the right
closet space, it can be difficult to prevent your house from becoming
hopelessly cluttered. No matter how large or how small your home may be,
it's safe to say that you can benefit from owning a custom closet
in the Bay Area.
Custom closet systems allow you to organize your clothing and accessories
in ways that otherwise may be unachievable. Being able to find what you
need when you need it will eliminate stress and give you more time in
the mornings. The beauty of customizing your closet space is that it allows
you to create an aesthetically pleasing and functional space all at once.
If you are interested in a
custom closet design, contact Bay Home and Window at (800) 701-4555. Our team specializes in
creating the custom closets that will appeal to your needs as an individual.
We look forward to hearing from you today.
Choosing how to showcase your home's windows is important to think
about in order to create the ambiance you want. Placing Bay Area shutters
to showcase your windows has many potential benefits. Watch this video
for some of the reasons you should choose shutters in your home.
Adding beautiful shutters can enhance framing views around your house.
Shutters can create a pleasing design aesthetic that allows lighting to
be enhanced. Interior shutters are as functional as they are aesthetically
beautiful. With the proper installation, shutters can keep out heat in
the summer and keep in the warmth during winter.
To learn more about picking out the right shutters, call
Bay Home and Windows at (800) 701-4555. Our staff can help you place gorgeous shutters in your
home that will help you save energy. We have been serving the Bay Area
for more than two decades, and we are looking forward to serving you.

It all started when the Pokemon started to vanish.
Nobody was entirely sure why; after all, Wild Pokemon go missing all the time. This in itself wouldn't have worried people too much. 'Perhaps the Staraptors are just migrating south for a while', they said. 'Perhaps the Wailords are moving to warmer conditions'.
Then captured Pokemon started to vanish too. They'd be in their Pokeballs one night and gone the next. The Police Force have been practically disabled by their lack of Arcanines, the Pokemon Centers world wide have been crippled due to a Chansey-Audino Shortage. One would naturally assume it to be the work of certain criminal organizations such as Team Rocket or Team Plasma, only that their Pokemon have vanished too.
It's all pointing to the one thing- there's something bigger than us is at hand. A small crack-team of trainers have pinpointed the location of the Pokemon's disappearance- a small mountainous island to the south of Johto. Their mission is to get there, use their wits to discover what's going on and bring back the Vanished Pokemon.
We're counting on you.
And welcome to my first RP that I've done in a while! You guys might remember me better as "Dermodio" or "The Modio", but I'm fairly certain that I'm the same guy.
There's a couple of rules I'd like to bring your attention to for the RP's sake here...
- No sub-plots. Everything your character does is a reaction to something that the GM says or another character says.
- Only 5 RPers are allowed. Once a significant amount of time has passed I shall choose the best 5 Sign Ups. Don't be discouraged if I don't pick you, it's nothing personal!
- Characters must be from 12-19 years of age. No higher nor lower.
- Only one Pokemon each. Gen VI Pokemon are totally allowed, but no legendaries.
- If you're reading these rules mention how handsome and clever and not bad at cooking the GM is.
- Please try to stay Gramatically correct. It's just a pet peeve of mine.
- I highly recommend using a character from another RP series you have partaken in. This isn't necessary but I find that it proves that you can RP and that it's a nice little touch.
- Last but not least, romance is allowed so long as a) It remains innocent enough and b) You're not a vampire.
And an example sign up here which you can use as a reference guide.
- Name: (e.g Ash Ketchum)
- Gender: (e.g I think Male but I'm not entirely sure)
- Age: (e.g Still ten for some reason)
- Physical Description (e.g short with brown eyes and black hair which jets out the side. Often wears a cap and rubber gloves).
- Partner: (e.g Pikachu)
- Partner's Moves: (e.g Thunderbolt, Volt Tackle, Iron Tail, Quick Attack)
- History: (e.g Ash grew up in Pallet Town in the Kanto. He's totally going to beat the League one day and catch all the Pokemon maybe if he doesn't get beaten up by some d-bag using a Darkrai and a Latias in the Sinnoh League)
- Personality: (e.g Ash is very sure of himself and rash. He often prefers brute force to tactics which explains why he won't goddamn evolve half his Pokemon.)
- If This Character were a Book/Poem, s/he would be... (e.g Dante's Inferno)
My Sign Up is as such:
- Name: Derry Duke
- Gender: Male
- Age: 16
- Physical Description: Turquoise Messy hair combed outwards at the temples. Golden eyes and a skinny build. Generally wears shirts, scarves and oversized rubber gloves. Often wears hats.
- Partner:Greninja
- Partner's Moves: Water Shuriken, Double Team, Night Slash, Aerial Ace
- History: Derry is from Hearthome City in Sinnoh. He grew up training the then-exotic Froakie whose personality made an impact on the young man- they grew up the same way and trained each other simultaneously. Derry also lived in a rich area, contributing to his level of education and his egoistic personality.
- Personality: Can be best summed up in three words- Brilliant but Vain. Derry considers himself almost superior to other less well educated people, considering them 'trash' or 'filth' unless proven otherwise. He had a haughty upbringing and can come off as especially deceitful. Fortunately enough, he is practically as good as he claims to be, with excellent observational skills and mystery solving abilities. He loves good puzzles and has a soft side buried deep, deep withing his prejudicing exterior.
- If This Character were a Book/Poem, s/he would be the complete Sherlock Holmes series.
Good luck to all those entering!

Overall Experience:
Rebecca Teece is an awesome online instructor for sure. I would definitely choose this school again and go through online classes to fit my schedule. I have had a great experience except for one teacher. I do not know if switching teachers is possible. I didn't try, but just stuck it out.
Campus Resources:
I haven't had much need for the student center, but the library and its accessibility is great. If it is not open, just go in the office and ask for someone to help you with it and they will grab someone who is knowledgeable about how to run the library to assist you.
Campus Resources:
I have heard from many different students on this topic, although I have not had the need to use the computer labs, wireless access, or a printer. From what the buzz is, everything is pretty great and runs smoothly with little to no bumps in the road.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
Wow! School, at least here, is a lot more expensive than I thought it would be. The financial aid advisors are awesome people and wonderful to work with though. I do feel that my education that I am receiving is worth a great deal. Just sticker shock I guess.
Academic Flexibility:
Not much experience with this either. I would not know if they are great or awful at their flexibility to transfer credits.
Student Body:
I really haven't had much interaction with the student body except a few emails with a couple of my online classmates to say hi and it's neat to have so much in common.
Academic Experience:
I am in the Medical Billing Coder courses and for the most part it is very doable. There are a couple of classes that totally take over your life for 5 weeks, but they are worth the effort. I have learned so much and appreciate the time and effort my teachers have taken.
Academic Experience:
Again, the professors (teachers), are great for the most part. There was one substandard teacher who was rude and unyielding when it came to helping the students. The curriculum for my course of study was difficult but doable. It took some real effort to get through a couple of the classes, but it was/is very worth it.
Online Courses:
I have truly enjoyed and needed the option of taking online classes in place of on campus classes. The teachers, for the most part, are accessible and upbeat. I had 2 teachers that made me feel so great about myself and the work I was doing. Great experience so far.
Campus Quality:
They have done a very good job with the facility, although it definitely needs to be updated and a change of facility would probably be a good idea. This is an older campus. The artwork, however, is superb.
Career Services:
I have had some awesome teachers and one jerk. I did not let her get in the way of my attitude towards Eagle Gate. It is a great college and is very 'user friendly'. Everyone is very upbeat and very helpful. They all seem to know your name after the first time hearing it and you are greeted with each visit. The library hours are incomprehensible, so just go in the office and ask for someone to help you get books or help you turn in books. They are glad to help.
Campus Resources:
Never used them much, but seem good.
Overall Experience:
I have had a good expericance.
Academic Experience:
it's ok , I feel like it will help my career in the long run.
Academic Experience:
It's good, I have no complaints on how things have worked out.
Online Courses:
I enjoy it because it works well with my full time job.
Career Services:
I haven't used them really. I pan on doing it. I hear that they are good to work with.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I have nothing negative to say. IT's been great.
Career Services:
Every Coarse Has An Internship Class, Where We Do Get The Opportunity To Gain Some Work Experience.
Campus Resources:
Libraries Are Open About 12 Hours A Day. There Is Always Someone Around To Help With What Ever The Situation Is.
Campus Resources:
The Administration, Always Has Raffles For The Students To Win School Supplies. They Always Host Games And Have Gatherings For The Students To Get Involved And Know Each Other.
Campus Resources:
The Library Has Great Hours To Work Around The Student Schedules. There Are Printers Located At Various Locations Around Campus
Academic Flexibility:
I've had difficult getting clarification for assignments and tests with my online classes several times in several different classes. Other than that, I have not experienced any problems.
Career Services:
I had questions regarding what part of the Medical Billing and Coding field I would enjoy most so I went to the career services center to obtain some information on available jobs for hospital and physician settings. I also asked what were the pros and cons of each one. I didn't feel I got a very informative response. I left with more questions than answers.
Campus Resources:
There's been difficulties with syllabus matching to the correct book and assignments in a few of my classes. Otherwise, it has been great.

AMD Q2: Shrinking PC market leads to revenue miss
The chipmaker posted revenue of $942 million, a 35 percent year-over-year decline.
The chipmaker posted revenue of $942 million, a 35 percent year-over-year decline.
That slump is only expected to continue, although hopefully not as much with a projected decline of 4.4 percent in 2015.
When one laptop display isn't enough there is a Kickstarter campaign for a device that attaches to your notebook and adds up to two sliding displays.
Starting at $179, the tiny PC lineup runs Windows 8.1 and is powered by Intel Celeron or Pentium processors.
Long before many had desktop PCs, HP introduced a pocket computer that kickstarted my passion for mobile gadgets.
Dell cribs design cues from its XPS line to bring a 13-inch 2-in-1 to market. Will enterprises bite?
UPDATED: IDC figures aren't quite as hopeful as Gartner's latest pulse check on the PC industry.
The computer giant has also announced the B50, G50, Z40, and Z50 notebooks, all starting under $600.
Are we seeing the death of the PC and the birth of choice or just another turn of the wheel?
Intel has revealed a new family of chips designed for low-cost 2-in-1 PCs and small form factor PCs.
At the IFA tradeshow in Berlin, Microsoft's hardware partners are showing off the next generation of Windows-powered hardware, a category Intel calls "two-in-ones." By year's end, the market should be flooded with devices that can shift from PC to tablet on the fly. But who's buying?
While there's no doubt that the PC industry is in a nose dive, the last quarter will have bought some cheers to AMD and Intel. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Nvidia, which saw a dramatic fall in chip shipments.
The figures suggest a gloomy desktop and notebook outlook for the December holiday quarter: tablets will outsell notebooks by the end of this year.
UPDATED: The IDC has also chimed in on the global PC market as well as the Lenovo-HP battle.
The mobile PC market has suffered the worst second quarter performance since the aftermath of the dot.com crash.
Like Linux Mint? Want it in a plug and go PC? CompuLab may have the computer for you: the new MintBox 2.
What's notable about Intel's take is that it is convinced that 2-in-1 devices will ultimately sell. The jury is still out.
Intel's new processor family is focused on ultrabooks and two-in-one devices, and Intel's doubtless hoping it will help breathe fresh life into the ailing PC market.
Take a trip down memory lane with these old PC ads. We sure have come a long way since then -- on style and pricing.
Indian consumers continue to snap up entry-level products from PC makers such as Lenovo and Acer, helping the local market grow 17 percent year-on-year, says Gartner.

... the storage locker in which it was stored washed up on an island off the British Columbia coast a year later. A Canadian beachcomber found the locker and the bike was still inside. It took almost a month before he could get the help he needed to do the salvage work and by then the locker had been washed away but the bike lay on the beach half covered in sand. The original Japanese owner was tracked down from ...
What am I doing here?
... of our fellow passengers did not speak English. Amanda had a good opportunity with an American girl on our flight. She had never heard the Gospel presented from the Bible and she was really interested but not ready to make a decision. I pray that she and the baggage claim lady made further investigation into their tracts and let the Truth change them!
It was midnight before we boarded our first flight.
Next stop Istanbul! :)
Happy Days in Milwaukee
... lied ... It was really cold! The Museum of Art was a fairly quick visit ...Georgia O'Keefe, Barbara Hepworth, Picasso, Joan Miro and Andy Warhol were among the permanent exhibits. There was a Kandinsky exhibition on loan from the Pompidou Centre. We moved onto the Science and Technology Centre and spent a white pushing buttons, pulling knobs and tapping interactive screens. The aquarium part of the centre had fish from the lakes as well as the Atlantic Ocean. All quite interesting.
Off To Chicago
... new log entry has been made .... each one generates a 'heads-up' email with a link to the page. If you would rather NOT receive these scattered email notices for the next month OR if you know of someone who you believe would (really) like to join in on our virtual field trip, let me know by an email note to email@example.com
bye for now,

text: As a young man growing up in rural western North Carolina, my parents and grandparents raised me to believe that making money via righteous and industrious means was actually a good thing, something to aspire to. Remember that notion? My folks would point out people in the community who worked really hard and got rewarded for the goods and/or services they provided. Whether business owners or hourly employees, there was something to be said for being self-sufficient or as we called it, making an honest living. It was a matter of pride and depending on the government for anything was unthought-of. The very last thing anyone wanted to do was ask for a hand out.

Greater distress felt by soldiers whose families did not follow them to the base, study found
FRIDAY, May 14 (HealthDay News) -- The majority of married military couples currently in the service appear to be happy with the state of their relationships, a new study suggests.
The observation stems from a study conducted in 2008 by researchers at Kansas State University, who administered a quality-of-life survey to 700 U.S. Army soldiers stationed at Fort Riley, in Kansas, along with 390 of their spouses.
"Because of the stressors that have been on the military and military families, particularly in the last decade, it's easy to focus on the difficulty and dysfunction of their marriages," Jared Anderson, an assistant professor of family studies and human services at the university, said in a news release. "But I think one of the things that this study does is look at what makes these families resilient in the midst of ongoing stress."
The researchers found that although soldiers were 1.7 times more likely than their spouses to feel distress regarding their marriage, 81 percent of the soldiers and 85 percent of their spouses were "non-distressed" with respect to marital satisfaction.
The authors, whose research is still in the pre-publication stage, note that marital satisfaction bodes well for the long-term stability of military marriages, as well as for the individual well-being of soldiers and their families.
A healthy marriage report card, they note, could also have a positive impact on both soldier retention and readiness.
Nearly all the soldiers had been deployed at least once, while a third had been deployed twice or more. Although other research shows that combat exposure is a key factor in marital problems, deployment frequency alone was not associated with an increased likelihood to feel marital distress.
Instead, a greater likelihood of relationship distress among sold
