Just so everyone's clear up front, Microsoft has just come out with a list of twelve things they don't want to see on the Windows Mobile Marketplace. It includes VoIP. Advertisement The list is below, but the major ones are these: no VoIP that goes over the provider's network (Wi-Fi is OK), no apps that make you download more than 10MB over the air (not Wi-Fi), apps that use/promote other marketplaces other than the official Windows Mobile ones, apps that make you pay money outside of the marketplace (which bypasses Microsoft's cut of the profits), and apps that publish your location without permission.They're all pretty reasonable expectations, but not being able to have VoIP over the carrier's network is a step down from what it is now, where you can download VoIP apps and talk as much as you want. Looks like Skype isn't going to be distributed through Microsoft's Marketplace then, or at least just locked down if it is? [PC World via Fierce VoIP via Tech Digest] Reply38 repliesLeave a reply

He says the 800w will look like a Palm Centro with rounded corners and thin body. It will ship with Windows Mobile 6, but be upgradeable to 6.1 when that hits. Advertisement In addition, there's a 2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi hard switch, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, 802.11g Wi-Fi, microSD slot, 256MB memory, EV-DO Rev. A, aGPS (not a real GPS), a 320x320 resolution screen, and front-facing keyboard. The launch date is tentatively April, but this is all based on a guy's posting in a forum, which means it can all be a pack of lies at this point.

Hi guys! So right now, I am currently looking to buy a new pair of headphones (finally upgrading from stock ipod earbuds!) and thus have been researching all over the internet (especially these forums) to help me decide which headphones to get. After a couple of weeks, I have basically narrowed it down to two choices: the Noontec Zoro and Sennheiser HD205. I was hoping you guys could give me some advice as to which one to get.
Some things about me: I am currently a college student, and will mostly be using these headphones in my dorm, in the library, or when commuting on bus. I listen to a bunch of different musical genres, so I was hoping to find headphones that would work decently well with any type of music.
One of the things that I like about the HD 205 is that they are circumaural and that they provide pretty good isolation, so I won't have to worry about bothering others when I'm listening to my music. Also, I don't think the tight fit will be too much of an issue with me, since I have a relatively small head. However, I am a bit worried about the length of the cord, especially since some have said that the cord is not especially sturdy. There also seem to be some mixed feelings regarding the sound quality.
The Noontec Zoros also seem like a great option; they are foldable and definitely seem more portable than the HD205s. Also, they come with a detachable cable, which is a big plus. Although this is a bit over my original budget of ~$50, the sound quality seems to be worth the extra cash (correct me if I'm wrong?). My only concern with these is the isolation; I've heard that these leak quite a bit of sound, which would be problematic especially in quiet places like the library. If I had my ipod at 25-30% volume, would the noise leak become a distraction?
Well, that about sums it up. I know this a bit long, but I really need to decide which headphones to get soon, since the indecision is totally killing me…
Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to read this. I really appreciate the advice! J

The foreground patch of dust that crosses this photograph must be illuminated by energetic radiation from stars that are much hotter than those in the background because hydrogen, which is associated with the dust, has been excited into a vivid red fluorescence by absorbing the invisible ultraviolet light.

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns aren't letting lockdown cornerback Joe Haden get away.
Haden signed a five-year, $68 million extension with Cleveland on Monday, the total value of the contract surpassing cornerback Richard Sherman's four-year, $57 million agreement last week with the Seattle Seahawks.
Haden's contract runs through the 2019 season and includes $45 million guaranteed, agent Drew Rosenhaus told The Associated Press.
One of the AFC's top defensive backs and one of Cleveland's most popular athletes, Haden made his first Pro Bowl last season, his fourth with the team. The Browns selected him with the No. 7 overall pick in 2010.
"Joe's a good, young player who's made a commitment to our organization, and he's somebody with whom we want to move forward in order to advance our football team," general manager Ray Farmer said in a statement. "He's a great person. He's the right guy to both build with and build around as we attempt to become an elite football team."
Signing Haden to a long-term deal was a priority for Cleveland this offseason. During the draft, the team selected Oklahoma State cornerback Justin Gilbert early in the first round to play opposite Haden.
Last season, Haden had 60 tackles and was credited with 21 passes defensed. He had his first career multiple-interception game and scored his first touchdown, returning an interception 29 yards at Cincinnati on Nov. 17.
He was suspended for the first four games in 2012 for violating the league's substance abuse policy. He tested positive for the stimulant Adderall.
First-year Browns coach Mike Pettine is thrilled to have Haden for several years.
"It's important for us to extend our core players and continue to grow with guys that represent everything we want this team to be: tough, hard-working and passionate," Pettine said. "Joe obviously loves his teammates, and he loves this city. I know he wants to keep growing and improving as a player. That's what we need, and that's what we want."

Old English ceallian "to call, shout," less common than clipian; replaced by related Old Norse kalla "to cry loudly," from Proto-Germanic *kallojanan (cf. Dutch kallen "to talk," Old High German kallon "to call"), from PIE root *gal- "to call, scream, shriek, shout" (cf. Sanskrit garhati "bewail, criticize;" Latin gallus "cock;" Old High German klaga, German Klage "complaint, grievance, lament, accusation;" Old English clacu "affront;" Old Church Slavonic glasu "voice," glagolu "word;" Welsh galw "call"). Related: Called; calling.
Meaning "to give a name to" is mid-13c. Coin-toss sense is from 1801. Meaning "to visit" (Middle English) was literally "to stand at the door and call." Telephone/telegraph sense is from 1889. To call out someone to fight (1823) corresponds to French provoqueur. To call it a day is from 1834.
early 14c., from call (v.). Sense of "a short formal visit" is from 1862.

(1.) To cry for help, hence to pray (Gen. 4:26). Thus men are said to "call upon the name of the Lord" (Acts 2:21; 7:59; 9:14; Rom. 10:12; 1 Cor. 1:2). (2.) God calls with respect to men when he designates them to some special office (Ex. 31:2; Isa. 22:20; Acts 13:2), and when he invites them to accept his offered grace (Matt. 9:13; 11:28; 22:4). In the message of the gospel his call is addressed to all men, to Jews and Gentiles alike (Matt. 28:19; Mark 16:15; Rom. 9:24, 25). But this universal call is not inseparably connected with salvation, although it leaves all to whom it comes inexcusable if they reject it (John 3:14-19; Matt. 22:14). An effectual call is something more than the outward message of the Word of God to men. It is internal, and is the result of the enlightening and sanctifying influence of the Holy Spirit (John 16:14; Acts 26: 18; John 6:44), effectually drawing men to Christ, and disposing and enabling them to receive the truth (John 6:45; Acts 16:14; Eph. 1:17).

Thanks to the egostatic Bill R. for tagging me with the latest meme, listing your 25 favorite actresses (as started by Nathaniel R.). I wasn't sure if I could come up with 25, but after reading through the fun lists from Jonathan Lapper, Jeremy Richey, Kimberly Lindbergs, et al, I had to give it a go. The choices for my list weren't strictly for their acting ability, but more for the fact that they're all actresses I enjoy watching for one reason or another.

Bill -- I actually liked your O'Hara pic more. Getting my pic to work required giving some personal information to a nice man in Mozambique, he was very understanding.
Moviezzz -- I like your Melody post, that "Police Woman Centerfold" movie sounds fun. I love her in "Flash Gordon," and can't imagine that role working quite as well with any other actress. - 12/12/08, 10:38 AM

Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers is either going to be an awful mess or an awesome mess or both. The star power alone (Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, James Franco. Seriously) is worth the price of your ticket; but it's really the film's premise that solidifies Korine's reputation as a weird demented creep with a handful of honest talents. Meaning: how could you not see this?
It's gonna get CRUNK: four college girls rob a fast food dive to fund their spring break trip. After getting busted, they meet Alien (Franco), a cornrowed deviant who takes the girls "under his wing" (which undoubtedly implies loads of drugs and sexy scandal). Oh, and at some point during the movie, Alien plays Britney Spears' "Everytime" on a white piano at the beach while his barely-legals dance around him wearing ski masks and bearing shotguns. (Yep, that happens.)
The poster for Spring Breakers was just revealed, and seems to reference said beach scene (in shades of Day-Glo). The film is scheduled to premiere in New York and Los Angeles on March 22, and nationwide March 29. As previously reported, the soundtrack will feature music from Skrillex, which is an obvious choice, and a score composed by Moore and Cliff Martinez.

Ok, in my own case, I do have to ask where all the guys have gone. I've even noticed several of the guys who claim to like BBW's who only want slender girls. I'm starting to get a complex.
Have never responded to a blog before in my life....but, for your comment I will make an exception. Great analogy to what the search for a mate is all about. Wish more would start putting in the effort, instead of complaining about how difficult it all can be. I will love the clam dinner once all of the effort has been put forth. Great job and good luck on this journey. Jeudi

EXETER — Rev. Steve Magee will deliver a sermon from Isaiah 2:1-5 on Sunday, Dec. 1 at Exeter Presbyterian Church, 73 Winter St. in Exeter.
The vision contained in Isaiah Chapter 2 deals with the place Jerusalem will have in the coming kingdom of Christ. Isaiah describes how "all the nations shall flow" there to be in God's house and learn his wisdom.
Verse 4 speaks of the peace there will be in that time, "and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore." Indeed that will be a wondrous time. Let us walk in the light of the Lord.
Please join us on Sunday to hear more about the coming eternal kingdom of Jesus. Sunday school for all ages begins at 9:30 a.m. Sunday morning worship begins at 10:30 a.m. with an evening worship service beginning at 5 p.m., including a discussion of the sermon from morning worship.
Please contact the church for more information: 772-7479 or email@example.com. We are on the web at www.exeterpca.org.

I bet he posted a dixpix like Brett Favre.
This was supposed to be a combination "scam" related to a conspiracy theory motif which I had cultivated at the time, and pointed rejoinder to JB. Jetswin took it the wrong way (who wouldn't) and booted me out. So much for my "well thought out plan".
In case you don't know, "I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus" is a classic comedy record from the 70s by the legendary Firesign Theater.
That thread is a gem.
Don't listen to Borgo. It was a serious post wrapped in humor to make it easier to swallow (calm down JT). How could it not be? The nostril observations were too spot on.
Although mentioned prominently as part of the vast conspiracy, I don't show up until page 13, and only because people were PMing me saying "lol" and "don't respond".
This was before I spent a few hours here every day. I finally stumbled across the thread and I was like "what the ****?!"
I immediately PM'd jetswin to apologize. I should have just complained about being framed.
Man I miss this guy
Chicks don't post on message boards. Especially mildly attractive ones.
Only eedjits fall for the oldest trick in the internetz.
I joined JI a year earlier, that thread among others kept me coming back for more!!!
I was still pretty unknown at the time. I recall some thread where I first used a similar "voice" as in the Bozo's Thread. Timmy sent me a PM saying that lots of folks here thought I was him using another username. At the time, I had no idea what a compliment that was.
Still a sell out.
You recall all that conspiracy stuff, right Q? I had Ham scrambling thinking he had actually done something. LOL.
That Bozos post came to me after JB posted those shots as a way to "get bacK" within the framework of the conspiracy idiocy I was promulgating. It was one take with no edits. Showed it to my wife before posting, who thought it was funny.
Knowing me now, could anyone take that seriously for one second. The part about contacting "my State's Attorney general" still gets me laughing. Gotta admit that's hilarious.
Thanks very much for mentioning me in that company.
LOL. Especially when it sports a Grover sock puppet.
Since you've been such a great sport over the months, here's a recent David Beckham spot just for your perusal. Sent it to my wife yesterday and she's still swooning.
Haters gonna hate.

Wucai meaning five enamels or "five color ware" is in reality mostly three enamels (red, green and yellow) within outlines in blackish dry cobalt, underglaze blue, plus the white of the porcelain body, all in all making up five colors.
The name Wucai or Wanli wucai refers to Chinese porcelain decorated in this palette dating from the Ming period (1368-1642, especially during the reign of Jiajing (AD 1522-66), Longqing (AD 1567-72) and Wanli (1573-1619) emperors, who commissioned a variety of porcelain items decorated in this style. The number of colors can differ and become more as the times goes on. This possibly suggest that the important thing is the name wu-cai, or five-color ware, where the number five has an important symbolic significance in Chinese art.
An important innovation of the Jiajing period, the so-called wucai ("five-color") decoration, was one of the last major additions to the lexicon of ornamental techniques that were developed during the Ming dynasty. Despite its name, the number of colors in wucai decoration is not strictly limited to five.
Wucai, like doucai, is a combination of underglaze blue and overglaze polychrome enamels. However, where the soft underglaze blue of doucai was primarily used for dainty outlines that lay the groundwork for elegant little washes of pale enamel colors, the dark blue of wucai was applied in bold washes to complement vigorous splashes of strong overglaze colors, and outlining was mostly done in overglaze red, brown, or black.
The Ming enamels resemble-indeed, they are bits of translucent colored glass that have been fused to the surface of the glaze. While some variety in tone could be achieved with them, gradations in color were quite limited, and any shading of individual colors was virtually impossible.

When a project is created that uses certain Grails plugins that perform AST transformations, STS is unable to deploy these to the built in tcServer and have it successfully start. Much progress was made in 2.6.0.M1 but there appear to still be issues.
To reproduce with a simple case I followed these steps:
grails create-app BugReport
install-plugin spring-security-core
install-plugin audit-trail
create-domain-class MyDomain
Edit Config.groovy to add audit stamp config
Edit MyDomain.groovy to add @gorm.AuditStamp annotation and a couple dummy properties
Edit BootStrap.groovy to create some instances of the MyDomain class, then attempt to query them using a field added by the audit-trail plugin.

Grails project demonstrating the issue and log file from attempted startup via STS/tcServer
I'm attaching my own sample project for future reference.
The workaround was successful. Hopefully a proper fix can get implemented eventually, but for now this allows me to deploy to tcServer in STS, and most importantly, use Spring Insight.
Thanks for the help Kris, I'll be happy to test out a dev build once it is available.
Hi Brandon,
I also would like to put in a fix... eventually... but... I'm a having a really hard time of thinking of a way this could actually be fixed. Starting up a new JVM to run the greclipse compiler just to set the user workdir to satisfy that transform is out of the question. That would be a major change and probably come with a major performance hit as well.
Hacking around with setting "user.dir" system property might work, but it is very risky in the multi-threaded environment of Eclipse, where several compile things may be executing simultaneously on different projects.
It may be that there isn't really a good way to fix this, unless the plugin itself is changed to work in a way that is more amenable to running in STS. I also thought about this a bit, but even that seems quite tricky. How would the ASTTransform in the plugin be able to access the config file it is after, if not by using a relative path of some sort?
Tricky issue, so a fix may not be forthcoming for a while.
The option to disable incremental deployment and deploy grails-builts war files "as is" will probably help. That seems within reach, but I won't be putting that into the next release yet. I played with it a bit and it was too unstable still to risk it.
So... I'm glad you are okay with working the workaround for now.
BTW: the flushing procedure described above may be simplified. It looks like just doing a "clean" of the project should flush both classes in the classloader and the .class files on disk.
Lowering priority on this because there's a feasible workaround (and there's no easy way to fix this given the way the AST transform works).
I made the issue title more descriptive of the actual problem.

That's a little harder to believe after Conte blew up his spot by releasing video of Mosley's deposition. Advertisement Mosley won a unanimous decision over Oscar De La Hoya in 2003, but as part of the original BALCO investigation, it emerged that Mosley was on EPO. Mosley admitted to taking it before a grand jury, but told reporters that he had no idea the substance was banned.Conte challenged those statements, and threatened to detail what Mosley knew and when he knew it. In 2008 Mosley sued Conte for defamation, to the tune of $12 million. Advertisement Mosley's lawyers have sought a settlement, which Conte's side has refused repeatedly. And yesterday, Conte uploaded video of Mosley's 2009 deposition in the case, in which he admits to receiving EPO injections. A transcript:This Is Tape No. 1 of the videotaped deposition of Shane Mosley, taken by Judd Burstein in the matter of Mosley versus Conte.

Manchester United V Wigan Pre-match Review
Wayne Rooney should make his comeback whether it is on the bench or he starts who knows what Fergie is really thinking. The young Danish goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard is going to have a medical.
I don't know much about him but he is supposed to be the new Peter Schmeichel and at 26 years old he is the same age as when Peter joined. He would have to be world class to be mentioned in the same breath as such a legend.
We usually get a decent result against Wigan but on there day they can beat anyone but I can see a confidence in are play at the moment so hopefully we can get a decent win and close the gap to Chelsea who have a few injury concerns of there own.
There aren't any new injuries Giggs might be ready and Rafael could still be out with his dead leg. But Scholes should be back after his ban and Rio has said he was only brought off against France because it was a precautionary measure.
My team against Wigan is going to be attacking as we should look to win this game pretty easily yes I have said that before but hopefully we won't blow it this time.
Van Der Sar
I think this team should win quite easily but you never know look at Sunderland Chelsea last week who would of thought it.
A quick shout out to Bebe who scored a great goal for the reserves and Macheda who scored a brace for the Italian under 21 match the future looks bright, the future is red. LOL
3-0 United leave a comment if you agree or disagree.

Dental and Oral Health (Seniors) |
Antibiotic cover04/06/2006 |
My father had a heart attck 3 years ago and while recovering in hospital he was told he would probably need Anti Biotic Cover when having dental work done. When he recently had tooth extractions and fillings the dentist told him it was a waste of time and money him having the Antibiotic Cover. We have just recently changed dentist and wonder why his views are different to the doctors. Should my father be taking Anti Biotic Cover or not????
The American Heart Association guideline on the use of prophylactic antibiotic prior to dental procedures as it applies to your father's case indicates that antibiotics would be used if the heart attack happened within 6 months prior to the dental procedures. Therefore, the need for antibiotics was merely an extra precaution step.

This engaging and informative work presents a rational and thought provoking approach to the understanding of Judaism. It shows how people can use their intellect, live in the present, make personal and social progress and enjoy the goods of this world. This book addresses such questions as: ~What does God require of people? ~Does God really want us to have faith? ~How should we interpret the Bible? ~How do we deal with seemingly unreasonable midrashic tales? ~Does God want us to pray? ~Do Jews believe in angels and demons? ~Is sin a harmful emotion?

Sorry for the delay in replying, I was researching, doing my Sunday ride and taking care of some things at this end.(No, not the game.
I don't believe there's any inconsistency. Food supplements should be held to the same standards for safety and testing as food additives.
I find it quite telling that the industry does not want their products subjected to scrutiny and lobbied for(and got) legislation to that effect. What are they hiding?
To the study you quoted.
There is liberal use of phrases such as
which could lead..., It was also reported..., may act on, is believed..., and similar.
These are phrases of opinion, not fact.
Despite this, the conclusion is presented as proven.
The whole paper is a rehashing of other studies with no original research or teting done to confirm previous studies.
Even the studies quoted and referenced make claims without proof.
Example: A claim is made that ingestion of aspartame during pregnancy causes brain tumors and retardation.
No mention is made of any study done to prove this claim.
There are many causes of both tumors and retardation and it would require a major effort to isolate aspartame as the
culprit yet none is made.
A claim is made that blindness will result from normal consumer useage yet I see no indication that there has been a major
increase in unexplained blindness here or elsewhere.
What I consider to be most damaging to the credibility is the following quote from one of the referenced studies.
In addition, Mehl-Madrona (2005) observed that
when the temperature of aspartame exceeds 86F, the wood
alcohol in aspartame is converted into formaldehyde and
then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis.
The methanol toxicity is thought to mimic the symptoms of
multiple sclerosis. According to them, symptoms of fibromyalgia,
spasms, shooting pains, numbness in the legs,
cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain,
depression, anxiety, slurred speech, blurred vision or memory
loss have been attributed to aspartame.
One can of diet soda will provide 10 mg of methanol while the above toxic effects are present in doses of 10 ml or more.
The fact that this information is not mentioned calls into question the ethics of the researchers.
Methanol is present in greater amounts in fruit juice, fermented beverages, is a by product of digestion and is produced by intestinal bacteria.
The use of those symptoms is just a scare tactic and has no place in scientific inquiry.
Also, the mentioned symptoms have a wide variety of causes and is not specific to aspartame.

As a child in Hebrew school, I was taught the story of the Hanukkah miracle: When the Jews in the land of Israel defeated the foreigners, the priests seeking to rekindle the temple's eternal light found enough ritually pure oil for only one day. Miraculously that oil lasted for eight days.
Since then, Jews have been celebrating Hanukkah every year by lighting candles every day for eight days. Children in Israel play with dreidels inscribed with the first Hebrew letters of the phrase "a big miracle happened here"; in Washington, D.C., my birthplace, our dreidels had the first letters of "a big miracle happened there."
Until I lived in Israel, I associated the holiday with latkes, or potato pancakes. But when I moved there I discovered that for many Israelis, sufganiyot, or jelly doughnuts, are the favorite Hanukkah treat. I also realized that the connection of such foods to Hanukkah is the oil in which they are fried.
What we hadn't learned in Hebrew school was that the oil of the Hanukkah miracle was olive oil. In ancient Israel, olive oil was used for lighting lamps, for religious rituals and for cooking. Based on archaeological evidence, the land of Israel was an olive oil production center.
Olive oil is rarely used to fry latkes or sufganiyot, specialties that came to us from Central and Eastern Europe, where olive oil is not part of the culinary culture. Yet it seems natural to use the oil of the miracle in Hanukkah menus, along with other foods from biblical Israel. Wheat and barley were staples, and so were vegetables and a variety of fresh and dried fruits, including pomegranates, raisins and olives, which make a colorful topping for the greens of our Hanukkah salad.
Legumes were important in the daily meals of the people of the Holy Land. To make our holiday appetizer, I mix chickpeas, which are native to the Fertile Crescent, with onions sautéed in olive oil, and use the mixture as a filling for turnovers. Such turnovers and other old-fashioned treats were often fried because people didn't have ovens at home. These days baked treats are more convenient to prepare, keep better when made in advance and are easier to reheat.
In ancient Israel, bread was the center of the meal. For Hanukkah, I bake a holiday kubanah, a slightly sweet bread based on my Yemenite mother-in-law's overnight Shabbat bread, which I flavor with a touch of fig jam or preserves. To enrich the bread, I spread pieces of the dough with olive oil and softened butter. I roll each piece in a spiral and, as they slowly bake, the pieces come together as a cake.
Hanukkah has become a holiday for potato lovers, even though this New World tuber is a relative newcomer to the lands of the Bible. As an alternative to the common pancakes, I prepare a potato kugel topped with sour cream and cheese, the quintessential foods of the "land of milk and honey."

The reason is the theme resonated with his audience, many of whom also got no respect. No respect from their employer, family members, or cus … [Read more...]

The other day I was shopping in Walmart and took a break to feed my two hungry shopping side-kicks at the McDonald's just across from the check-outs. As we were wolfing down our high quality card-board nutrition, a cu-fuf-fal at the till across from us caught my attention. I watched as a less fortunate fellow argued with the Walmart cashier. He was wearing ragged and dirty clothing, was missing several teeth, and looked pretty rough around the edges.
There was a lady behind him in line with small children looking annoyed and impatient, and this poor man was short some money for his purchase. He was turning his pockets inside out and looking, obviously, for change. My initial thought was to jump up and help, but for some reason, my feet weren't moving. My heart was saying, "Someone help him!" and I debated if that should be me. Then I watched as the cashier took his small bag of groceries and placed them behind the till.
Disappointingly, he began to walk away, but then he turned and started walking over towards the McDonald's tables where myself and my children sat - filled with more food than we needed, dressed cute-sy for shopping, and with a wallet full of means to pay. I felt guilty. And even more guilty when my thoughts were, "I hope he asks someone else." I was a little scared of him.
He tried. A man at the table next to me said "no". And quite firmly too. Then he asked me. "Ma'am?" he said, "Could I bother you for 8 cents?" "Of course," I said as I opened my wallet. He gently put his leathery hand on my shoulder, as I handed him a quarter, and said, "Thank you. You're an angel."
I glanced inside my wallet at the other loose change I could have given him and the $10 bill. I could have kicked myself! He only needed 8 cents. 8 CENTS?! That's all? Why didn't I give him more?
This event turned into a discussion with my children about "where much is given much is expected". My 8-year-old, Taylee, had questions about why no one else helped. I was glad she didn't ask why I didn't give more than a quarter. I didn't have a good answer.
As we finished our shopping and started on the highway the 25 minutes home, I saw him walking along the shoulder, Walmart bag in hand, in the drizzling rain. I imagined for a split second that I was not scared of picking up hitch-hikers and that it was safe to do so. My heart wanted to so bad.
I almost feel sheepish blogging this. I think of myself as Christ-like most of the time - at least I try, but then there's just these certain situations where I have to think, when really, they are no-brainers. Now, my head is saying, Sara! Why didn't you give him the $10 AND offer to pay for his groceries? If I could rewind back, I would do it differently.
Then, the kicker: The next day in church, our closing song was "Because I Have Been Given Much". Taylee was snuggled in next to me singing with her new little hymn book her grandma gave her for her baptism,
"...I shall divide my gifts from thee with every brother that I see who has the need of help from me." (LDS Hymns, #219)
She whispers, "Mom, that's just like when we helped that man in Wal-Mart, right?" As tears welled up in my eyes, I whispered back, "You are right! You are so perceptive!" I couldn't finish the hymn. I was too overcome with emotion.
I quickly repented right there in sacrament meeting. And because God is a God of love, I felt forgiven, and then He showed me how He had magnified my small effort in the sight of my 8-year-old, a sponge of a spirit, who needed that lesson, even if it was only 8 cents.

Hillary lip-synced more than Beyoncé
If I'm following this correctly, according to one spokesperson for the Marine Corps Band, at Monday's Inauguration Beyoncé lip-synced to the national anthem but the band accompanied her live. However, according to a second spokesperson, it was the band who were pretending to play to a tape while Beyoncé sang along live.
So one or the other of them was faking it. Or maybe both were. Or neither. I'd ask Chuck Schumer, the master of ceremonies, who was standing right behind her, but he spent the entire performance staring at her butt. If it was her butt, that is. It might just have been the bulge of the Radio Shack cassette player she was miming to. In an America with an ever more tenuous grip on reality, there's so little to be sure of.
Whether Beyoncé was lip-syncing to the band or the band were lip-syncing to Beyoncé is like one of those red pill / blue pill choices from "The Matrix." Was President Obama lip-syncing to the founders, rooting his inaugural address in the earliest expressions of American identity? ("The patriots of 1776 … gave to us a Republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed.") Or maybe the founders were lip-syncing to him as he appropriated the vision of the first generation of Americans and yoked it ("preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action") to a statist pitch they would have found utterly repugnant.
The whole event had the air of a simulacrum: It looked like a presidential inauguration, but the sound was tinny and not quite in sync. Obama mouthed along to a canned vocal track: "We reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future."
That's great! It's always reassuring to know the head of state is going to take issue with all those people wedded to the "belief" that America needs either to shove every granny off the cliff or stake its newborns out on the tundra for the wolves to finish off. When it comes to facing the music, Obama is peerless at making a song and dance about tunes nobody's whistling without ever once warbling the real big numbers (16 trillion). But, like Beyoncé, he's totally cool and has a cute butt.
A couple of days later, it fell to the 45th president-in-waiting to encapsulate the ethos of the age in one deft sound bite: What difference does it make? Hillary Clinton's instantly famous riposte at the Benghazi hearings is such a perfect distillation that it surely deserves to be the national motto of the United States. They should put it on Paul Krugman's trillion-dollar coin, and in the presidential oath:
"Do you solemnly swear to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States?"
"Sure. What difference, at this point, does it make?"
Well, it's the difference between cool and reality – and, as Hillary's confident reply appeared to suggest, and the delirious media reception of it confirmed, reality comes a poor second in the Obama era.
The presumption of conservatives has always been that, one day, cold, dull reality would pierce the klieg-light sheen of Obama's glamour. Indeed, that was the premise of Mitt Romney's reductive presidential campaign. But, just as Beyoncé will always be way cooler than some no-name operatic soprano or a male voice choir, so Obama will always be cooler than a bunch of squaresville yawneroos boring on about jobs and debt and entitlement reform.
Hillary's cocksure sneer to Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin made it explicit. At a basic level, the "difference" is the difference between truth and falsity, but the subtext took it a stage further: no matter what actually happened that night in Benghazi, you poor, sad loser Republicans will never succeed in imposing that reality and its consequences on this administration.
And so a congressional hearing – one of the famous "checks and balances" of the American system – is reduced to just another piece of Beltway theater. "The form was still the same, but the animating health and vigor were fled," as Gibbon wrote in "The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire." But he's totally uncool, too.
So Hillary lip-synced far more than Beyoncé, and was adored for it. "As I have said many times, I take responsibility," she said. In Washington, the bold declarative oft-stated acceptance of responsibility is the classic substitute for responsibility: rhetorically "taking responsibility," preferably "many times," absolves one from the need to take actual responsibility even once.
In the very same self-serving testimony, the Secretary of State denied that she'd ever seen the late Ambassador Christopher Stevens' cables about the deteriorating security situation in Libya on the grounds that "1.43 million cables come to my office" – and she can't be expected to see all of them, or any. She is as out of it as President Jefferson, who complained to his Secretary of State James Madison, "We have not heard from our ambassador in Spain for two years. If we have not heard from him this year, let us write him a letter."
Today, things are even worse. Hillary has apparently not heard from any of our 1.43 million ambassadors for four years. When a foreign head of state receives the credentials of the senior emissary of the United States, he might carelessly assume that the chap surely has a line of communication back to the government he represents. For six centuries or so, this has been the minimal requirement for functioning interstate relations. But Secretary Clinton has just testified that, in the government of the most powerful nation on Earth, there is no reliable means by which a serving ambassador can report to the Cabinet secretary responsible for foreign policy.
And nobody cares: What difference does it make?
Nor was the late Christopher Stevens any old ambassador but, rather, Secretary Clinton's close personal friend "Chris." It was all "Chris" this, "Chris" that, when Secretary Clinton and President Obama delivered their maudlin eulogies over the flag-draped coffin of their "friend." Gosh, you'd think if they were on such intimate terms, "Chris" might have had Hillary's email address, but apparently not. He was just one of 1.43 million close personal friends cabling the State Department every hour of the day.
Four Americans are dead, but not a single person involved in the attack and the murders has been held to account. Hey, what difference does it make? Lip-syncing the national anthem beats singing it. Peddling a fictitious narrative over the coffin of your "friend" is more real than being an incompetent boss to your most vulnerable employees. And mouthing warmed-over clichés about vowing to "bring to justice" those responsible is way easier than actually bringing anyone to justice.
And so it goes:
Another six trillion in debt? What difference does it make?
An economic stimulus bill that stimulates nothing remotely connected with the economy? What difference does it make?
The Arab Spring? Aw, whose heart isn't stirred by those exhilarating scenes of joyful students in Tahrir Square? And who cares, after the cameras depart, that Egypt's in the hands of a Jew-hating 9/11 truther whose goons burn churches and sexually assault uncovered women?
Obama is the ultimate reality show, and real reality can't compete. Stalin famously scoffed, "How many divisions has the Pope?" Secretary Clinton was more audacious: How many divisions has reality? Not enough.

The dollar stores' stocks were very well pursued since the 2008 meltdown, and what many investors were waiting for in the first half of this year was a pullback. At that time, these dollar stores were trading at unrealistic multiples and were stocks I would not touch with a 10-foot pole. But presently, with the long-awaited pullback in place already, it might just be time to reconsider these dollar stores once again. In just 5 months, we had seen Dollar Tree (DLTR) fall more than 28%, Dollar General (DG) falling almost 8% and Family Dollar (FDO) down near 6%, as shown in the chart below.
Therefore, this article will be about the biggest dropper of the three, Dollar Tree, which has the backing of strong fundamentals, in my opinion, and should recover well in the future.
Dollar Tree, Inc. operates discount variety stores in the United States and Canada. Founded in 1986 and based in Virginia, its stores offer a variety of merchandise at the fixed price of $1. As of April 28, 2012, it operated 4,451 stores in 48 US states and 5 Canadian Provinces.
Price (17.11.2012) | $38.82 |
Market Cap |
Income (2011) | 527.70M (Trailing P/E: 17.33) |
Sales (2011) | 6.97B (P/S: 1.24) |
Book Value Per Share (BVPS) | $6.61 (P/B: 5.87) |
Return On Equity (ROE) | 33.93% |
Debt/Equity Ratio | 0.17 |
EPS Growth Past 5 Years | 26.72% |
EPS Growth Next 5 Years (est.) | 17.45% |
Current Ratio | 2.28 |
From the above snapshot, it is quite evident that the company has many merits, especially in the fundamental aspects.
1. Good Value
Dollar Tree's P/E ratio has dropped to a modest 15.59 after peaking around 25 in May 2012. Its P/E of 15.59 is also lower compared to its two main competitors: Dollar General, with a P/E of 18.66, and Family Dollar, with a P/E of 18.59. Its current P/E is also lower than its 5-year average P/E ratio of 17.04, as shown in the table below. Its P/B and P/S ratios had also declined in the same fashion over the past 5-6 months.
Month | P/E |
Nov. 2008 | 16.04 |
Nov. 2009 | 14.02 |
Nov. 2010 | 18.13 |
Nov. 2011 | 21.44 |
Nov. 2012 (Today) | 15.59 |
Average | 17.04 |
2. Impressive EPS Growth
Dollar Tree has delivered impressive earnings over the past 10 years, with EPS numbers increasing every year over the past 10 years. EPS had grown at 16.46% annually over the past 9 years and 26.72% annually over the past 5 years, which is fabulous, but this could also be attributed to the fact that the company was a small cap for a big part of the past 10 years.
As seen from the table below containing the EPS numbers over the past 10 years, Dollar Tree had made a good turnaround since posting a loss in 2002. Since then it has thrived, and I believe it will thrive in the years to come, with very good prospects.
Year | EPS ($) | Growth |
2002 | (-$0.02) | - |
2003 | $0.51 | - |
2004 | $0.53 | 3.92% |
2005 | $0.53 | 0.00% |
2006 | $0.62 | 17.0% |
2007 | $0.70 | 12.9% |
2008 | $0.84 | 20.0% |
2009 | $1.19 | 41.7% |
2010 | $1.55 | 30.3% |
2011 | $2.01 | 29.7% |
I believe that Dollar Tree's EPS will continue to grow at this rate because of its business model. It is now one of the only companies in USA that is selling its goods at $1 or less. With the unfavorable economic conditions we are in now, people will try to scrimp and save for times of hardship, and therefore turn to retailers selling goods at cheaper prices - companies like Dollar Tree, Wal-Mart (WMT) or Costco (COST). This is one potential catalyst to push earnings higher in the future.
During the third quarter this year, we opened 111 new stores and relocated and expanded another 16 stores. Through three quarters of 2012, we have added 298 new stores and expanded or relocated 81 stores. Selling square footage has increased 7.1% and we ended the quarter with 4,630 stores. We are on-track with our new store opening plan for the full year 2012 which includes 315 new stores and we have surpassed our plan for 75 relocations and expansions in 2012. We now expect to complete more than 395 total projects across the US and Canada in fiscal 2012.
I am also particularly pleased by the productivity of our new stores; sustained improvement requires a coordinated effort across the organization, it requires a strategy and it requires team work between real estate, merchants, planning, stores and logistics. Our teams are concentrated on improved site selection, on right sizing our stores, expanding our assortments, improving staffing and building the bench of qualified store management and on opening new stores earlier in the year. We believe these are the key elements to increasing our new store productivity and we are having success. I am very pleased to report that average new store productivity has increased in each of the past six years and the trend has continued through the third quarter 2012.
Additionally, from its above excerpt from its Q3 2012 earnings conference call held in November 2012, its new stores had been exceptionally productive and well-received. Besides this, I like both the speed it is expanding at (slow and steady, as shown in the table below) and the careful steps the management had taken to make the most out of the newly opened stores. I believe that they are on the correct path so far and that its EPS will grow further in the years to come, not only because of the effectiveness of the management, but also for the demand I expect its goods to have, especially with an unfavorable economy at the moment.
Year | Stores |
2007 | 3,411 |
2008 | 3,591 |
2009 | 3,806 |
2010 | 4,101 |
2011 | 4,351 |
2012 Latest Qr. | 4,630 |
A Clearer Picture Of Dollar Tree's Store Growth
3. Little Debt
Dollar Tree has very little debt - only $250M at the moment. It has kept its debt about this $250M mark and its debt/equity ratio below 0.3, which is fabulous in my view, and below my personal debt/equity limit of 0.5. This means that Dollar Tree is earning enough to not consistently rely on debt to expand itself. This is also evident as seen from the fact that its debt/equity number had been maintained under 0.3 for the past 10 years. This ratio shows the proportion of equity and debt the company is using to finance its assets, and the higher the ratio, the more debt, rather than equity, is financing the company. A high level of debt compared to equity can result in volatile earnings and large interest expenses. Below is a table containing Dollar Tree's debt numbers over the past 10 years.
Year | Debt ($) | Debt/Equity Ratio |
2012 Latest Qr. | 250M | 0.17 |
4. Steadily Increasing BVPS
I also like their book value per share (BVPS) growth over the past few years. This number had grown very consistently over the past 10 years and I expect to grow at or close to this speed in the future. The BVPS value is determined by relating the original value of a firm's common stock adjusted for any outflow (dividends and stock buybacks) and inflow (retained earnings).
Year | BVPS (Book Value Per Share, $) |
2002 | $2.50 |
2003 | $2.93 |
2004 | $3.44 |
2005 | $3.67 |
2006 | $3.79 |
2007 | $3.58 |
2008 | $4.61 |
2009 | $5.40 |
2010 | $5.83 |
2011 | $5.65 |
2012 Latest Qr. | $6.61 |
5. High ROE Number
Additionally, Dollar Tree's return on equity (ROE) number had been increasing very steadily over the past 10 years. It locked in an impressive 38.76% last quarter. A high ROE indicates that a company's management is using shareholders' money more effectively, which is good both for the company and its shareholders. The definition of ROE is the amount of net income returned as a percentage of shareholders' investments. This measures a corporation's profitability by revealing how much profit a company generates with the money shareholders have invested. The table below shows Dollar Tree's ROE number over the past 10 years.
Year | ROE (%) |
2002 | 18.10 |
2003 | 17.50 |
2004 | 15.50 |
2005 | 14.80 |
2006 | 16.40 |
2007 | 20.40 |
2008 | 18.30 |
2009 | 22.40 |
2010 | 27.20 |
2011 | 36.30 |
2012 Latest Qr. | 38.76 |
6. Management Is Buying Back Shares
Dollar Tree's management had also been returning to shareholders by buying back shares over the past 10 years. Shares outstanding had dropped from 342.69M in 2002 to 227.21M today, representing an impressive 33.7% drop over the past 10 years. This is beneficial to shareholders as it enables them to own a larger part of the company without owning more shares. Below shows a table with the number of shares outstanding Dollar Tree has had over the past 10 years.
Year | Shares Outstanding (Millions) |
2002 | 342.69 |
2003 | 342.25 |
2004 | 339.06 |
2005 | 319.66 |
2006 | 298.99 |
2007 | 269.35 |
2008 | 272.31 |
2009 | 262.57 |
2010 | 246.79 |
2011 | 231.16 |
2012 Latest Qr. | 227.21 |
At quarter end, we had $965 million remaining in our share repurchase authorization. The diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the third quarter was $230.0 million. Over the past four quarters, we have invested $535.3 million for share repurchase.
From the above excerpt from Dollar Tree's Q3 2012 conference call held in November 2012, it is evident that Dollar Tree plans to buy back more shares over this year, and they are likely to do the same in the future, as sales and business prospects have been improving.
7. Decreasing Days Inventory Number
Next, Dollar Tree's days inventory number has also been falling steadily over the past 10 years, from 88.10 in 2002 to 73.40 today, which means goods stay in the inventory for a shorter period of time. Days inventory is a measure of a company's performance that gives investors an idea of how long it takes the company to sell its goods in the inventory. This is another positive point about the company as this is a sign that sales are improving. Below shows the days inventory numbers for Dollar Tree over the past 10 years.
Year | Days Inventory |
2002 | 88.10 |
2003 | 107.0 |
2004 | 112.0 |
2005 | 94.70 |
2006 | 84.50 |
2007 | 84.10 |
2008 | 80.80 |
2009 | 73.50 |
2010 | 77.20 |
2011 | 74.50 |
2012 Latest Qr. | 73.40 |
This is a measure of how long goods stay in its inventory, therefore, as sales and earnings increase, this number should, in turn, decrease.
8. Strong Balance Sheet
Before I start on anything, here is Dollar Tree's balance sheet on MSN Money.
First, Dollar Tree's assets grew faster than its liabilities over the past three years. From the year ended February 2, 2008 to the year ended January 28, 2012, Dollar Tree's total assets had increased from $1.788B to $2.329B, an increase of 30.3% over five years. On the other hand, its total liabilities had increased from $799.3M to $984.0M, an increase of only 23.1% over the past three years.
Second, Dollar Tree has more current assets than current liabilities. As of Sept. 2, 2012, it had $1.209B in current assets and $581M in current liabilities. This is a good sign as the company is able to pay off its short-term liabilities if it is obliged to pay all of them off at one time.
Third, Dollar Tree has no preferred stock, which is a good sign for the company and its shareholders -- it does not need to pay extra special dividends, which would only drain its cash reserves faster. A company that has preferred stock also shows how cash-strapped it is to have to borrow money from its shareholders, technically, at higher interests than normal (special dividends, etc.).
Key Risks/Flaws
Every company, regardless of how good is seems, is bound to have some flaws. Here, I will list some of Dollar Tree's flaws.
1. High P/B Ratio
Although Dollar Tree has good value and its book value per share (BVPS) has been increasing as shown previously, I feel that its book value as compared to its current price is still too little. Dollar Tree has a stock price of $38.82 as of November 16, 2012 and a book value of $6.61. This is a P/B (Price/Book) of 5.87. The number has dropped considerably after Dollar Tree's pullback but it is still a little too high by my standards.
2. Highly Competitive Industry
Dollar Tree operates in a highly competitive environment. In its industry, Discount, Variety Stores, it not only competes with companies like Dollar General or Family Dollar. It also competes with larger counterparts like mega discount retailers Wal-Mart and Target (TGT). These two companies had also been performing very well over the past few years, and their sizes are huge. The pair's $19.24B in income alone already overwhelms Dollar Tree's $7.09B in sales. This point is reiterated by the fact that Dollar Tree's profit margin is only 7.40%. Although this number is higher than many of its competitors, it is extremely low compared to many other industries.
3. Vulnerable Profit Margins
Another risk they have is their vulnerable profit margins. Their profit margins might be lowered due to inflation. They sell their goods at $1, and strive to do so as well in the future. But, as inflation kicks in and the cost of the goods itself, the costs of gasoline and other related costs increase, their already low (7.40%) profit margin might be squeezed even lower, and threaten the company's profitability. This is one of the most significant risks, in my opinion, with Dollar Tree.
The Takeaway
Overall, Dollar Tree is a great stock to buy over the long term. Although it has a few flaws, like any company has, I believe that all of its merits make up for it flaws and make the company a good investment over the long term. Along with the fact that it has pulled back considerably from its highs, this could just be the right time to buy its stock.
