TRES JOLIE 148/603 Eyewear
As a customer of Edel-Optics, you are totally aware that eyewear can crown your style. This accessory makes you look very smart when you are out and about and convincing in the office and in your leisure time. The TRES JOLIE 148 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from MarchonNYC collections 2015 and 2016.
This frame was specially designed for genuine power women. Graceful design and expressiveness are interspersed with classical chic. Semi-rim frames are decisive for the distinctive lines of the model. A stylish accent that never puts the overall appearance out of balance. Rectangular models are particularly suitable for round and oval faces. The rectangular shape also builds a bridge to corners and edges from an image aspect. The noble metal frame allows for filigree lines and creates an extraordinary lightness in appearance. In addition, metal eyeglasses are virtually indestructible - strong, flexible and corrosion resistant.
Moreover, we can also provide you with the correct prescription lenses at an incredibly low price. The only thing you need to provide us with are your current dioptre values determined by your ophthalmologist. Together with our digital dispensing optician, you can choose between reasonably priced brand lenses from Germany or premium brands such as Seiko, Hoya and Rodenstock. Edel-Optics' plastic lenses have many features such as anti-reflection coating, lotus effect, cleaning coating, antistatic and hard coating at no extra charge.
The model has already been ordered and will shortly be back in stock. If you order now, you will get the reduced price and once the goods arrive, we will send you your new MarchonNYC on the same day. If you buy at Edel-Optics you get the best price, because "in the sale" is our standard.

We had a fantastic stay! Our room featured two comfy beds and cool exposed brick, and while the front desk is often vacant (a shame because the receptionist is super sweet and helpful!) there's not much you'd need to ask for anyway. The street it's on isn't the cutest part of Montreal but it's a two-minute walk from the metro stop that connects all of the different lines, so if you're travelling by public transit like we were it's an excellent spot to be.

Hi my name is Dan anime is a problem for me. Once I find something I like a lil I can't put it down until I finish all of it or I am caught up to where it is currently airing at. New animes are a problem for me since I hate waiting 1 week for new epsiode to come out. I got into anime by watching dbz as a kid and digimon at 7 in the moring. When I really started going hard it was thanks to one of my friends who introducted me to a great starter anime bleach. Which is when I watched 170 episode in a week. I have yet to find someone irl to watch as fast as I do sometimes hopefully one day I will find that person.
4,141 total episodes
Thanks! You too! :b
I didn't watch that much drama and romantic animes, but i wish to watch more!
Thanks to you i can watch now great animes of that type! ☺
Hi, pardon for the late reply) regarding your questions:
1) I watch animes to enjoy them in the first place. You know, I don't get paid for my reviews) it's just fun to practice writing skills and also a way to help others;
2) the job of the reviewer is to balance objective vices and virtues with his/her subjective opinion, and that balance is different in every case. Sometimes, a show has numerous flaws, and yet you enjoy it, sometimes it's the other way round. The goal is to analyze and explain why you like/dislike and why other people might like/dislike it. And not just to write your opinion, like "OMG it's a fantastic show; watch it!" or vice versa) because that won't give readers any valuable information.
That's the basic thing. The rest i.e. style, length, rating scale etc., are everyone's personal choice.
Well thank you! :D
Now i'm thinking to make a top 10, because there's so many awsome animes...
I'm watching clannad, it's really kawaii *-* everythime i think about it i start to sing "Dango Family" lool :p
Do you know more drama animes? i would like to watch another one that really toutches in the heart :p
Oh, that's simple: I don't normally add them because they aren't difficult to remember) so, I just watch 1 show at time and add it to the "watched" section when I finish it. Besides, adding animes is not my main goal - rather, it's writing reviews and meeting new people.

Emanuel and the Fear are a new band/collective(?) based out of New York. The band boasts an entourage of musicians, everything from strings and horns to the more typical instrumentation of rock. Incorporating everything from electro to pensive folk influences, the group manages to handle a range of styles without any of them coming across as forced.
Things start off with the springtime romp of "The Rain Becomes The Clouds", which comfortably combines the retro-pop immediacy of The Postal Service with the more diverse instrumentation of Sufjan Stevens. Of all the tracks on the EP, this song seems to find them the most at home and hopefully wil be a prime direction they pursue for some of their future work.
"Comfortable Prison" follows, and is a very stripped down folksy singer-songwriter track. The horns and drum machine are replaced by an acoustic guitar and pedal steel. Although it's a stark contrast to what came before, it's a very nice song on its own. Lead singer Emanuel Ayvas has great vocal range, and style enough to carry out the chameleon needs of this EP. The instrumentation fills up towards the end with strings and more backing vocals, a fullness that seems to fit their M.O.
The indie romp of "Jimme's Song" relies on an extended backbeat groove and is easily the catchiest track. Unfortunately, it's also about twice as long as what it can reasonably support. Because of this it starts to wear out its welcome, as it breaks down into a lengthy slow jam. Again, nice enough the first time around, but then becomes gratuitous.
"We're All Alright Tonight" seems to combine some of the orchestral energy of "The Rain Becomes The Clouds" with the loose rhythmic drive of "Jimme's Song" and mostly to very positive results. The only misstep is an over-reliance on productrion tricks that detract from, rather than add to, the track. Dear world, the overly-processed robotic auto-tuning (or "Cher vocal effect" as I prefer to call it) sound is officially old. Please kill it. It's marring an otherwise great track here.
Things close out with the instrumental piano solo, "Two." It feels like a smokey lounge take on classical music, in the best sense. Although stylistically it feels tacked on as a bonus track, I think it hints at the diversity and musical chops present on the rest of the EP. There are elements of existing styles at work throughout the tracks, but Emanual and the Fear seem able to rise above the "me too" attitude of a lot of bands and infuse their own creativity into the mix. The diversity here is a sign of quality and range.
This debut EP only feels disjointed because of it's limited duration. A five-track offering of mostly pop-length songs simply doesn't last long enough to accomodate the kind of range they're going for here. As the group is at work on their debut full length, I have a feeling that their scope will feel more at home with twice the space to roam. But based on the depth of songs offered here – regardless of the scattershot of styles – this is a group to take notice of. The quality of the tracks on this EP whets the appetite for hopefully more to come.Powered by Sidelines

Bucks fans exit called-off game with mixed feelings
Some Milwaukee Bucks fans sidelined Friday when the game against the Toronto Raptors was called off because of a slippery court left the BMO Harris Bradley Center slightly disappointed but mostly in good spirits.
"There was a big boo at first," said Kevin Reilly, 22, of West Allis who attended the short-lived game with friends.
"But then they opened it up for the kids to shoot free throws and people started cheering."
Unforeseen changes almost kept Thomas Kelly, 47, and Teneishia Price, 29, from attending the game.
"I didn't think we were going to make it," Price said.
"Then we got here and, 'bam,' it was over.
Kelly thought one of the Toronto players was injured when, after slipping, he appeared slow getting to his feet.
"He was trying to get up but the floor was too slippery," Kelly said.
Chris Messick, 42, of Fort Worth, Texas, and Peter Burdett of Adelaide, Australia, were with a group of other out-of-towners attending a training session for GE Healthcare.
"Here we are from out of town, looking for something to do" Messick said. "But we're going to be reimbursed, (the Bucks) did an honorable thing."
Burdette, however, seemed to put any disappointment behind him.
"They still have beer somewhere around here," he asked.
"Don't they?"

Nope, only Hong Kong and Singapore accounts have it (my account was UK), but I don't play online, just solo.
That price was similar to PS2 when it was launched decade ago :/ I heard that the PS4 is an asian version. I saw on DataBlitz's post, not sure if some big malls does sells too, but I'll wait for the slim version and JP games!

360 is incredibly abudant number.so,we can divide easily into 2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10.....parts.one more fact is there-our sun takes 360 to make one annual.it means it completes one circle in a year

This fire extinguisher trainer replicates a small fire and can be brought to any business to teach employees how to properly use a fire extinguisher. Please call 817-685-1600 to schedule this free class.
Juvenile Programs
If you would like for firefighters to come to your day care, church, school or similar business to share a fire safety message with children or give a tour of a fire engine, please call 817-685-1600 to schedule.
Please provide a minimum 2 week notice for your request.

The Euless Fire Department's clown troop schedules numerous appearances each year. They present skits on safety topics to large audiences in the schools.
You may also encounter them at the annual Fire Station Open House and similar special events during the year.
Fire Station Tours
Residents are always welcome to visit the fire stations.
However, due to the firefighters' hectic schedule with both planned and unplanned events, it is strongly recommended that you call 817-685-1600 and schedule a day and time for a fire station tour.

The Fire Department sponsors an annual 13 week Citizens Fire Academy. This class meets one evening a week and allows the citizens of Euless to become more familiar with the workings of the Fire Department. Applicants have the opportunity to experience what it is like to be a Euless firefighter.

League reviews Blake Griffin's shove of Darius Morris
Last week, Coach Mike Brown had asked the NBA to review a non-call on Clippers' Blake Griffin, who pushed Lakers rookie Darius Morris in in the first quarter of their game Jan. 14.
Morris was in mid-air dunk when Griffin shoved him after the referees had blown the whistle. Griffin apparently was upset that Morris continued playing after Chris Paul was called for a foul on the rookie. Brown was incensed over the non-call and argued vehemently with the officials, earning a technical.
On Monday, Brown got an answer.
"I don't know if they gave it to him or not," Brown said, "but the league said Blake should've gotten at least a technical for pushing him.
"The officials are human, but they overreacted and gave the Clippers a point there (from Brown's technical.) It was officials looking at Darius and thinking, 'He's a rookie'."
According to Brown, the NBA also rescinded Morris' technical foul in the third quarter after entering a scrum involving several Clippers and Lakers forward Josh McRoberts.
The Lakers and Clippers play again Wednesday.

Full Color Custom Printed Vinyl Decals
4-Color Process CMYK Decals and Labels
We custom print full color vinyl decals for some of the largest companies in the world, including McDonald's®, Kellogg's®, and Disney®, to name just a few. And we've been doing it for over 40 years. By using a 4-color process (CMYK) printing method, we achieve vibrant photo-quality images. Depending on the decal and the quantity, we can screen print, UV offset, or digitally print them to your specifications. They can be square cut or custom die cut. They make unforgettable handouts, promotional pieces, and can be added to hang tags or used on windows and car bumpers.
Full color is achieved through 4-color process printing. And, although only four colors are used (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) CMYK makes just short of a kazillion colors. When you want a realistic rendering of a photograph on a decal, 4-color process is the only way to get it. By blending and overlapping just those four colors of transparent ink, remarkably detailed shades, hues, highlights and shadows can be attained, adding to the realism of an image. What you end up with is a decal that is a virtual copy of the original photograph.
Because the pictures are so life-like, full color printing works especially well on food, animals, people, and scenery. Printing these images on vinyl decals makes them more than a vehicle for advertising; they become little works of art. That may sound like a stretch, but it's not. The better your decals look, the more likely consumers are to stick them on something they own (in the case of promotional decals) or buy the product shown (when used at the point of purchase).
This 8 1/2" x 11" vinyl decal for the Anaheim Ducks® shows the extraordinary skin tones that we can match with full color printing. The vibrant multi-image orange background and 3-dimensional quality of the black uniform is also a great example of what we can achieve through process printing.
Full color printing is also the best choice for illustrative artwork with colors; a lot of colors; including color tones, color graduations, and color blends. To reproduce artwork with extensive colors through spot-color screen printing would be cost-prohibitive. However, both the background in the Ducks' decal above and these decals for The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® show the rich blends of color that are possible with full color printing.
Our full color decals include clear acrylic permanent adhesive. They can be applied to nearly any surface, including metal, glass, painted surfaces, fiberglass and plastic. These decals are single-sided and permanent; however, we also offer low tack adhesive, static cling (no adhesive), and double sided window clings.
Once you've chosen 4-color process, the next step is the production method. Screen printing, solvent ink-based digital printing, and toner-based digital printing are all available. We can help you determine which method is right for your product based on its intended use. For example, both screen printing and solvent-ink digital printing offer the longest life-span at 3-5 years making this process the best choice for outdoor use. Our incredibly high-resolution toner-based digital printer offers the brightest, sharpest colors and is the eco-friendliest method of printing on the market (the guy who demonstrated the machine even ate some of the toner ... we're not doing that). But this printing method is better suited for indoor-use decals.
Still not sure which type of Full Color Decals, work best for your project? Give us a call or drop us a line. As with any of our custom printing services, we'll walk you through it and help you choose which process and material work best for you.

VW Admits Using Cheating Software in Emissions Systems
The software causes the emissions computer in the catalytic converter to deploy less of the catalytic fluid the system uses to mitigate engine emissions.Information technology—and someone who knows how to manipulate it—is playing the central role in a major automobile manufacturer's apparent efforts to cut corners and save millions of dollars in connection with the emissions systems of its products. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) alleged Sept. 18 that German vehicle makers Volkswagen and Audi sold 482,000 diesel vehicles in the U.S. that carried a so-called "defeat device"—illegal emissions control software designed to make cars appear to run cleaner in testing situations than they normally do. On Sept. 21, the plot thickened when The New York Times reported that Volkswagen officials told the EPA for nearly a year that discrepancies between the formal air quality tests on its diesel cars and the much higher pollution levels out on the road were the result of technical errors, not a deliberate attempt to deceive Washington officials. Under pressure, Volkswagen backtracked earlier this month, admitting that defeat device software was included on VW and Audi vehicles from the 2009-2015 model years with 2.0-liter turbodiesel engines. Specifically, the emissions-cheating software was found in four-cylinder diesel passenger cars that include the Passat, Beetle, Jetta, Golf and Audi A3.
Potentially, the EPA action could amount to penalties of up to $18 billion (£11.6 billion) for Volkswagen.
This isn't the first time Volkswagen has been caught in emissions violations. In June 2005, Volkswagen of America agreed to pay $1.1 million to resolve its failure to promptly notify the EPA and to correct a defective oxygen sensor affecting at least 329,000 of their 1999, 2000 and 2001 Golfs, Jettas, and New Beetles. At the time, it was the largest civil penalty to date for that type of violation. As part of this settlement, Volkswagen completed a voluntary recall of the affected vehicles at a cost of more than $26 million.

The representation of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) in the Takht Hazur Sahib Board at Nanded (Maharashtra) will be reduced, with the state cabinet approving the report of the Bhatia committee.
The Bhatia committee, headed by former high court judge justice JS Bhatia (retd), has recommended increasing the representation of local Sikhs in the board.
The committee had been constituted by the state to recommend amendments in the Takht Sri Hazur Abchalnagar Sahib Board Nanded Act, 1956.
The Maharashtra cabinet decision on Thursday night paves the way for the formation of a new gurdwara board to manage affairs of the Takht at Nanded.
Accordingly, there will now be 21 members in the board instead of 17 earlier. Also, instead of the earlier four SGPC-nominated members, now there will be only one, an official said after the cabinet meeting.
Of the 21 members, 18 will be elected, of which nine will be from Nanded district. Two will be nominated by Maharashtra government and one by the SGPC.

Cherie Blair and the author Joanna Trollope have decided privately to sponsor the Women's Prize for Fiction after negotiations with a series of companies failed to produce a headline sponsor in time for next year.
The mobile-phone company Orange ended its 16-year sponsorship of the award earlier this year, which prompted more than 20 enquiries from other companies, according to the chair of the prize's board, Kate Mosse.
The Labyrinth author said that while they were "overwhelmed with interest" it quickly became clear that none of the companies could come on board in time for the 2013 prize as their sponsorship budgets were already committed. Instead, private backers will sponsor the prize, among them Mrs Blair, Ms Trollope, the internet entrepreneur Martha Lane Fox and Christopher Foyle, the chairman of the book chain.
The prize, which is in its 17th year, was set up to celebrate fiction by women authors, with the winner picking up £30,000.

JK Compact Subwoofer
Has anyone added a subwoofer to their Jeep? Specifically a compact sub as there is little space in my 2 door JK. Any creative ideas as to where you can fit one? Appreciate the help
I'm considering this one:
Sound Ordnance B-8PT 120-watt compact powered subwoofer at Crutchfield.com
I could fit it under my driver's seat, however that would reduce the legroom for the rear passenger. I would probably place it to the side in the trunk as it fits snug there
I see a lot of factory ones for sale, don't know if that is what you want,
See them for 50 to 75 dollars
I used an 8" bazooka tube straped to either the baby tie downs if the rear seat is installed or the rear seat latch if it is out. The bazooka speaker is crap so I ordered a decent speaker. It hides pretty well below the windows but it still takes up half of the space behind the seat which isn't saying much.
Infinity Basslink is a decent option (powered 10" subwoofer). It runs anywhere from $200 to 300 on the internet. You will lose a little cargo space in the back, but still serviceable.
lax, did you order/install the sound ordiance sub? i was thinking about getting one
1 Attachment(s)
If you have a separate amp you can make a small box and put it in the rear cargo area. If not, the Infinity Basslink is a good choice. The Sound Ordinance has less power and a smaller woofer so the sound won't be as good. Here is a pic of the box with 12" sub I made for my 2 door JK

Someone asked about 'Centre Stage' a while ago.
I replied, but haven't seen it show up here. Apologies if you have
seen this before.
I don't grow 'Centre Stage', but I looked at the image and feel it is
very similar to 'Center Stage' (Ghio '70?) as described in the iris
The exact spelling often trips me up, especially with 'our' vs 'or' endings.

Oh Miller - this is good - really good!! This tasted almost identical to the applebees one that I order - and pay an arm and a leg for - when I go to applebees. I had to use salted butter as I did not have unsalted - but it turned out fine. I did add the walnuts to the sauce as well - tasted great! Thanks for posting!!
This was so good. I made it for Christmas Eve dessert for my family and we all loved it. It is so rich and the sauce warm over the ice cream we served it with was wonderful. Thank you so much for the recipe. We will be making this again for sure.
i have had this many times at Applebee's. This tastes exactly like the restaurant version!! it is so awesome! chewy and tastey. i served this to dinner guests with vanilla ice cream on the side and it was enjoyed by all. i had to make 3 copies of the recipe to hand out!

Neurogenesis occurs in the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampal formation (HF) of adult mammals and is altered in both health (aging) and disease (stress, neurological damage) states. Decreased neurogenesis is an emerging model for the etiology of major depressive disorder (MDD). Antidepressant treatment (ADT) increases neurogenesis in the DG of rodents. Therefore, restoration of neurogenesis may be an antidepressant therapeutic effect. However, this has yet to be examined in the human brain. Studies will be carried out in three groups: 1. Patients with Mood Disorder (MD, n=20) who were on antidepressants (ten treated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, SSRI, ten treated with tricyclic antidepressants, TCA) or lithium (n=6) at the time of death;2. MD patients (n=20) who were not on antidepressants for e 3 months and 3. normal, non-psychiatric controls (n=18). The three groups will be matched for sex, age (range 24 to 62 years in the whole sample), postmortem interval (PMI), suicide and race. We will also match the MD groups on proportions with comorbid diagnoses and the percentage that have MDD or bipolar disorder. All cases, including controls, will have psychological autopsies determining DSM Axis I and Axis II diagnosis, as well as neuropathologic examination and brain toxicological screen. Immunocytochemistry for Ki67, a cell cycle protein expressed during mitosis, will be used to identify dividing cells. Double labeling with antibodies for multipotent progenitor cells (Nestin, Pax6, GFAP), neuronal progenitors cells and neuroblasts (TUC-4, TUJ-1, PSA-NCAM), or immature glia (Vimentin) will be used to establish the phenotype of the dividing cells. The HC from MDD patients with and without SSRI, TCA or lithium and controls will be assayed. Stereology will be used to estimate the labeled cell number in the DG of the HF. The number of dividing cells (Ki67-immunoreactive [IR]), multipotent progenitors (TUC-4), and neural progenitor/neuroblasts (TUC-4-IR) will be examined along the antero-posterior axis of the hippocampus, and compared across the lifespan, between MD and normal controls and between MD patients without treatment and MD subjects who were on SSRI, TCA or lithium. The rostrocaudal extent of the right dentate gyrus will be used for the study and series of sections at 2mm intervals will be assayed for each antibody. We will test the hypotheses that neurogenesis: 1. is more pronounced in the anterior versus posterior HC;2. is decreased in MD versus controls, and 3. MD patients receiving SSRI or TCA may have more Ki67- IR and Nestin-IR cells compared to MDD patients without treatment;on the other way we hypothesize fewer TUC-4-IR cells in antidepressants treated versus untreated cases. In an exploratory analysis we test the same effects for or lithium. These results have implications for understanding the pathophysiology of depression and the mode of action of antidepressants and lithium treatment.
Major Depression (MDD) is a serious public health problem and antidepressant treatment (ADT) is not effective in all cases. It has been shown that neurogenesis in adult rodents is necessary for memory and emotional responses, but it can be reduced by stress and improves with ADT, so that impaired neurogenesis may lead to MDD. We propose to examine neurogenesis in MDD patients, with and without ADT, compared to normal healthy controls, evaluating whether neurogenesis is reduced in MDD and restored by ADT.

eMule is one of the best and most popular P2P clients. Download eMule for free on your PC, and you will be able to download music and films from other users
The best way to download and share files
If there is an application to download files known by the vast majority of people, that has to be eMule. With this P2P client, you'll be able to download films, music and other files shared by other users for free. Furthermore, it's very easy to use, because it's only necessary to carry out a search, select the best servers and eMule will download the files that you have found and save them on your computer.
Main features and functions
- Secure user identification.
- Source exchange: eMule can obtain sources from other clients that are downloading the same file.
- Preview the multimedia files.
- IP Filter: allows you to filter corrupt files that spread around the Internet.
- You can find other users with the same interests and tastes.
- Allows you to recover parts of corrupt files.
One of the best P2P clients around.
How it works
One of the aspects that have made it such a popular P2P client, is how easy it is to use. To start downloading files, eMule has to connect to a server. It's important to find good servers that will make the downloads much quicker. To manage it, it is important to configure eMule correctly and update the server list periodically. After that, it's only necessary to search for the song or the film that you want to download, and eMule will show the list with all the files available. After selecting those that you are most interested in, the download will start. It's also important to open the ports that eMule uses to make the downloads quicker.

"Fight on, my men, Sir Andrew said -- A little I'm hurt but not yet slain. I'll just lie down and bleed awhile -- And I'll rise and fight again." marv levy
Buddy Nix is a top tier scout/talent evaluator. Don't believe me? ...Look at the other 31 teams drafts in the past 3 years.
Gilmore,Glenn,Bradham are all looking like solid starters in the league for years to come. Jury still out on Graham.
Dareus IMO will be a force in the league. Searcy came on strong at the end of the season, and Hairston is a GREAT rotational lineman, who would start on many lines in this league.
He has built depth on a team that had little to nothing. Bringing in Barnett, M.Williams, Anderson re signing SJ, Fred, Chandler, K Williams, Urbik for very fair deal, all bring credibility to a franchise that had none.
These are all reasons Buffalo was of the top choices for available coaches this off season... as opposed to scraping the bottom of the barrel three years ago for Chan and his staff.
The knock on Buddy is his sticking with Chan for 3 years, which is a fair argument IMO.. but he admitted himself he was very surprised at the level of interest from Coaches out there to come to Buffalo. He is likely basing this on his experience in the search 3 years ago that produced Gailey
"I know if I can snag one or two off him, you know take some to the touchdown... take one to the crib, we'll be alright. We'll be alright."
-Nickell Robey
Let Mel Kiper do the draft picking for us. At least he follows college players and probably knows pretty much what he's talking about when it comes to quality players.

The flood gates are open

When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled five-to-four that political spending is free speech, it opened the flood gates. Political action committees can advertise anything they want about any candidate or issue. And they can buy a lot of ads …
a lot of ads!
Presidential candidates and PACs have already spent tens of millions in primary states. We have a primary coming up in Kansas, and we will soon enter the campaign season for local and state offices.
Prepare yourself. I have a feeling you're going to get real tired of hearing those spots on the radio and seeing them on T-V. The Supreme Court says you have a right to hear them … or change channels if you find them too annoying.
We live in a mass media world. Each of us can access enormous amounts of information all day and night … choosing which topics interest us … and possibly missing public discussions of important issues. Each of us is now a news editor.
The flood gates are open. Good luck!
Our thought for today is from

A substantial recovery perspective has factored into the perception regarding the pharmaceutical industry, essentially due to a step away from the patent cliff and introduction of newer products by the pharmaceutical companies. As these companies begin to report a sizable earnings growth, Moody's has established its outlook for the industry as stable. It has also been stated that the outlook may even be improved to positive if the expected EBITDA growth exceeds 4%. This outlook, however, is highly dependent up on the pricing situation in Europe. Acquisitions are also expected to take full swing as some of the companies have deleveraged their capital positions after large transactions and are now set to pursue further growth.
Stock Performance
Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT) is among the prominent players in the industry with a market capitalization of $59.2 billion and total revenues of $39.97 billion in FY12.
Source: Bloomberg
The above chart shows the stock price of Abbott and its close competitors, Medtronic Inc. (NYSE:MDT) and Stryker Corporation (NYSE:SYK) in the past three years. The chart clearly reflects upon the outperformance of Abbott against its competitors.
Growth Strategy:
The improvement in the stock price has occurred because the company pursues an aggressive growth strategy with more than 30 medical devices and 150 product launches scheduled for FY13. Also, 40% of the company's sales come from emerging markets. In FY12, the company announced its aim to improve the emerging markets sales proportion to 50% by FY15. At the same time, unlike its former subpart Abbvie Inc. (NYSE:ABBV), the company has not taken up unsustainable proportions of financial risk to support its growth strategy.
Data Source: Morningstar
The above chart shows the research and development costs incurred by the company in the last six years. We see that a substantial improvement has occurred in the focus on research and development as indicated by the trend line. The emphasis on this growth aspect has proved to be prolific for the company has these costs have clearly contributed to the revenue and asset growth of the company. The revenues of the company have reported a CAGR of 7.8% and the total assets have shown a CAGR of 12.2% since FY08.
Source: Annual Report FY12
The table above provides a detailed business segment analysis. Proprietary pharmaceuticals are the largest contributor to the company's revenues and total assets. Amongst the smaller sections of the company's business operations, the growth appears to be triggered from the nutritionals segment as the net sales in the past three years have increased by 16.97% and total assets increased by 10.45%. The operating earnings of this segment also reported a 31.1% rise as compared to FY10. Moving forward, analysts believe that the nutritionals segment will serve as the key growth driver due to expansion in the product's market.
Financial Stability
Abbott Laboratories' consistent profitable performance has been supported by impeccable financial stability as the company has maintained its liquid assets and limited the financial risk to a manageable degree.
Source: Abbott Laboratories
The above chart shows some key ratios which measure the financial risks of the company since the beginning of FY10. The debt to equity ratio has been restrained showing that the company is careful when it comes to leveraging in order to support the company's growth. At the same time, the current ratio of the company and the free cash flows to firm have demonstrated a substantial improvement over this period as the company's profitable operations continue to contribute to strengthen its liquidity position.
Comparative Analysis
In order to address the investor's viewpoint in this situation, a comparative analysis has been conducted using important valuation metrics and investor consideration indicators. This will reflect upon the potential of the company in a forward looking aspect.
Data Source: Morningstar
The above table shows key valuation metrics of Abbott Laboratories and two of its competitors, Medtronic and Stryker Corp. along with the industry averages. The analysis clearly shows that Abbott Laboratories growth aspects have not been priced by the market as the company remains undervalued against its competitors and the industry average in terms of all valuation statistics. Furthermore, the company's dividend yield of 3.4% is unmatched across its competitors and the industry which shows the high degree of emphasis on addressing investor's return.
The pharmaceutical industry is on its way towards recovery. Increasing demand from emerging markets is likely to support this recovery due to economic progress. Technological innovations and new products will also further the growth in the market. The prolific growth strategy of the company, coupled with the efficient management of financial resources will extend the upswing of the company's stock price. This will further be supported by the substantial undervaluation of the company and the stock will prove to be a profitable venture of equity investors. Taking these factors into consideration, a buy recommendation is proposed as Abbott Laboratories prepare to experience aggressive growth in the coming future.

Make no bones about it, price-comparison websites are a good thing. They expand choice and provide valuable information for consumers. What's more, they are a hothouse of competition, with the cheaper providers standing out for all to see.
Before their advent, buying car and home insurance involved phoning many different brokers and providers, repeating the same information ad nauseam. To be frank, I'd usually go no further than the first reasonable quote.
Granted, the comparison sites are ostensibly just online brokers but the information is displayed so clearly that somehow it feels more transparent than the traditional client/ insurance broking arrangement, where you phone someone up and they go away and get you a quote. You then have to trust that there is nothing untoward and that they are acting in your best interest rather than pushing you towards the product that pays them the most.
However, not all is hunky-dory with the price comparison sites. At The Independent on Sunday we have raised concerns about this industry before. Now, after a four-month investigation, the Financial Services Authority (FSA) has echoed our views. In short, the FSA has examined 17 different sites and is worried about the clarity, fairness and accuracy of the information on offer.
Chiefly, the problem is that the price the user is first quoted can change considerably once they are passed through to the insurer. There seem to be several reasons for this. First, once the user clicks through to the insurer's website to take the quote further, they are suddenly hit with extra charges for things such as legal cover or uninsured loss recovery, or for paying monthly rather than annually as a lump sum.
Second, some of the sites ask only basic questions of the user, which means the initial quote they present is based on incomplete information. Now when the user clicks through they are barraged with further questions, often making the final quote more expensive. No wonder some users ultimately feel misled and a little cheated.
This second point brings us to how the sites make their money. Some are paid according to clicks, regardless of whether the customer proceeds and buys the insurance. It must be pretty tempting for these sites to present the user with the best-case scenario to get them to make that money-spinning click.
Having said all this, personally, I think things are improving. When I last used a comparison site, to buy car insurance, I saw no alteration in the quote, even after I stated my profession. (Journalists tend to be ranked alongside stunt drivers in the car insurance risk stakes, because it's presumed they will be speeding around after celebs and are always drunk, which I can assure you is true only 90 per cent of the time.)
However, the FSA is right to point out its concerns and sensibly it will visit each of the 17 sites in turn to ensure they are playing fair by customers. I have often been critical of the FSA's "light touch" regulation but on this occasion it's the right approach, at least for now. The price comparison sites, even in their present form, palpably work to the benefit of most consumers – if you need evidence of that, you should see how some insurance bosses foam at the mouth at the mention of them. They have encouraged switching, which is generally good. Now, with some constructive criticism from the FSA, they can be come more useful still.
