Is Intel an Intelligent Buy?
Matthew is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Unless your investing strategy is purely speculative (which is foolish in a bad way), you probably want to be as intelligent as possible about your investment choices. But what constitutes intelligent investing? One of the key requirements of intelligent investing is that you buy in for the long-run and view yourself as an owner of the company. This means saying goodbye to emotional, panic-driven reactions to the market's sporadic ups and downs, and saying hello to long-term returns.
Does this mean you can just select a company, forgo the business/industry research, and just coast your way into an easy retirement with a buy-and-hold strategy? Of course not. Due diligence is a necessary step with any investment selection, but we first need to establish the right mindset--the mindset of a part-owner investing for the long haul.
So now that we've got that part down, how do you determine which companies make for an intelligent, buy-and-hold investment? For starters, we need to look for rock-solid companies that are currently underpriced. One of the best ways to do this is by utilizing the discounted cash flow analysis in order to determine a company's true, intrinsic value. As this analysis calculates the total expected future cash flow generated by the firm, discounts this amount to its present value, and backs out the company's liabilities, it presents the investor with a best estimate of the company's value at a given point in time. This amount can then be divided by the total number of shares outstanding to arrive at an estimated intrinsic value/share price. If this amount is less than the current stock price, then the company is undervalued and therefore can make for a great investment. Regardless of the company's stock price at that date (as it can often times be dictated by the market's irrational behavior), intrinsic values will inevitably prevail. This is why we buy and hold.
Sound intimidating? Don't worry, you can still make intelligent investments without utilizing the discounted cash flow analysis, but I highly recommend you take a look at the Foolish Discounted Cash Flow Wiki and at least begin to familiarize yourself with the analysis. Until then, you can simply learn about some important metrics, which typically provide at the very least, a good indication of reasonably priced stocks.
Intel-ligent Investment?
To illustrate these metrics, let's take a look at one of the leading semiconductor companies, Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC).
Intel has received a lot of press lately from analysts and investors, a lot of which is praising the company for good performance and future prospects. However, the market appears to disagree, as the company's share price remains relatively flat and can't seem to rise above $30/share (and hasn't done so since early 2004). So, here's the question: Is Intel worthy of all the hype and therefore representative of an intelligent investment?
In order to get an idea of whether or not Intel is fairly priced, let's see how the company stacks up to some of its primary competitors.

*Data obtained from Fool.com
As you can see, Intel appears to be outperforming most of its peers in regards to revenue growth and gross margins, although it isn't doing nearly as well as QUALCOMM. QUALCOMM has almost double the 5 year revenue growth of Intel and higher gross margins. QUALCOMM also has a much lower debt to equity ratio, although Intel's isn't necessarily problematic.
What about pricing? Again, without utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis, it's much more difficult and subjective to determine if a company is over or underpriced, But one common way to at least guage whether a company is priced well is to compare the company's P/E ratio to its competitors. By doing this above, you can see that Intel's price appears much more attractive than that of its peers (one of the reasons, in addition to strong revenue growth, that I believe analysts are attracted to Intel).
However, using a P/E ratio alone isn't enough because of the varying degree of judgment and manipulation GAAP earnings are susceptible to. If you remove that component and evaluate Intel's price to free cash flow, which gives us a much better indicator of how well companies are priced relative their operating performance, you see that Intel is no longer the cheapest. It's definitely not the most expensive either, considering that QUALCOMM's P/FCF is more than 3 times that of Intel's. However, even in evaluating Intel's P/FCF on a standalone basis, it's hard to justify paying roughly $32 for every $1 of free cash flow. A good rule of thumb to begin your analysis is to look for companies priced at or below 15x FCF, but Intel is currently trading at 2 times that.
Foolish Takeaway
Based on a quick comparison of Intel and its competitors with the metrics used above, I'm not sure the numbers justify Intel as an intelligent investment. Sure, the company is growing and has tremendous potential if it successfully executes its strategy and adapts to the rapidly changing computing market. But if you ask me, there's just too much uncertainty around whether Intel will actually be able to transition into a market that already has some big players in it. As for now, the jury's still out and I'll hold off from deeming Intel an intelligent investment.mattmcmichen has no positions in the stocks mentioned above.

First time I had this I found it completely vile. Too perfume-y. Too flower-y. Too dust-y in flavour and all together too grandmother-y.
Morgana had it recently though, and didn't find it nearly as unpleasant as me. That would be difficult as out of all the people who have posted about it, I liked it the least.
So I decided that I ought to give it a second chance.
I still think it smells like a flower-scented soap, though.
It's still pretty flower-y too. eyes it And it's still a bit like drinking soap water.
I dunno…
If I can make it through the cup without going blergh! and dumping it, I'll lift the rating a bit and possibly manage to somehow finish off the sample tin. If I can't I'll call it a loss and will either foist it upon give it away to someone else or get rid of the rest of the leaves.
Either way, I already have something FAR BETTER lined up to wash it out with.
ETA: I think I've worked it out. I admit it, I'm eating sweets while drinking this. Foam sweets, which apparently seems to be my preferred sort at the moment (normally I'm a licorice girl), so my tongue is more or less comatose with sugar. And taking a sip right after the sweets really removed a lot of the flower-y unpleasantness! AHA! So I added some cane sugar to the cup, and while it's not a fix-all solution, it helps some.

Professionalism in Action
Professionalism and ethics are stressed in every aspect of the career and professional development curriculum. In 2011, UDM Law partnered with the State Bar of Michigan to present Professionalism in Action, a program which paired more than 25 prominent lawyers and judges with incoming law students in small groups to discuss the importance of civility and work through a series of ethical and professionalism hypotheticals. This important program provides an opportunity for interaction between first-year law students and veteran lawyers and judges, and has been incorporated into the Introduction to Law Orientation sessions for 1L students.
This year's Professionalism in Action program will be held August 13, 2012 at 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the law school's campus, with a reception immediately following. The program facilitator is UDM Law Professor Larry Dubin. Julie I. Fershtman, State Bar of Michigan President and shareholder at Foster, Swift, Collins & Smith, P.C., will address the incoming class and offer remarks on behalf of the State Bar.

Poor harvesting and handling of chickens can result in bruises and other damage to birds, thus devaluing the carcass.
Each and every day, the processing industry sends large amounts of chicken that could be sold for human consumption to the rendering plant, where it is transformed into meal and fat.
To counter this costly situation, some processing plants have tightened controls, in an attempt to send to the rendering plant only those materials that should be sent there – i.e., material that is unfit for human consumption.
There are, of course, many materials that originate at the processing plant that should be sent for rendering. For example:
While the above should find their way to the rendering plant, other materials are also sent there, too, and these can include meat that should be classified as Grade A. For example:
In addition to organic material, if a processing plant is poorly controlled, other materials can find their way to the rendering plant, and these might include rubber gloves, bags, rubber fingers and even knives. Any of these objects can have serious consequences for the quality of meal produced.
Rendering operations tend to be carried out in two ways: either close to the processing plant, making rendering the last stage in the broiler production business; or as a third-party service, where the operator receives raw material from a number of different processing plants.
It is important that there are good lines of communication between the processing plant and whoever may be carrying out rendering operations. In particular, communications needs to be frequent enough so that information can be easily exchanged, problems identified, and the yields of both operations maximized. Perhaps surprisingly, communication can be particularly poor when both activities are carried out by the same company.
I have seen in many plants that feedback is often partial and sporadic, rather than being established as part of everyday working practice. It is somewhat of a contradiction that within "poultry integrators," where there should be good communication to allow the various stages of broiler production to be modified to maximize the quantity and quality of production, that not only waste is sent for rendering.
In order to minimize what ends of up at the rendering plant, it is worth looking in more detail at the types of material that are sent to the rendering plant and what acceptable levels for these types of material might be.
Chickens dead on arrival
Dead on arrival birds result in a loss of 85 percent of saleable meat – the carcass and the giblets. In hot climates, dead on arrival birds should not be in excess of 0.7 percent of the total number of birds received in a day, while in cold climates the amount should be below 0.5 percent.
Expressed in numerical terms, imagine that a plant slaughters 100,000 chickens each day. Dead on arrival as a result of climate should not be above 70 birds in hot climates and be below 50 birds each day in cold countries.
Bruises and trauma
When bleeding is not properly carried out, the value of birds is again reduced.
Birds can be bruised when they are poorly harvested on the farm. In addition, bruising can also happen in the receiving area of the processing plant and when hanging onto the overhead conveyor.
The first area during processing that should be producing raw material for rendering is the slaughter and bleeding tunnel. Some 45-50 percent of a bird's blood is drained at this stage – some 7 percent of total body weight.
However, if this process is not carried out properly, and chickens have not been properly bled, they may enter the scalder alive, with death resulting by drowning rather than by anoxia. When this occurs, the performance of the processing plant goes down and the volume of material sent for rendering increases.
The amount of waste produced at scalding can also increase if birds are kept for too long in the scalding tank. Over-scalding can result in the loss of 85 percent of meat suitable for human consumption.
A similar situation can occur during plucking. Carcasses may fall from the plucking line for a variety of reasons. If there is inadequate infrastructure to prevent them being removed along with the feathers, quality carcasses may be lost to the rendering process, increasing costs for the processing plant. Under normal conditions, only the feathers should be sent to rendering at this stage, accounting for 5.5 percent of total live weight.
The next stage in the process is evisceration, where giblets are removed from the carcass for either human consumption or industrial use. Once removed, giblets need to be sent to the chiller as quickly as possible to prevent the growth of bacteria. When this does not occur, the 6.5 percent that should be sent to rendering – i.e. the crop, trachea, upper-intestinal tract, spleen, vent, etc. – increases to include the liver, head, gizzard and neck.
When birds have undergone a long feed withdrawal, an issue that rises is the adhesion of the gizzard cuticle, and this results in costly additional removal costs. This can also result in meat entering the wastewater that leaves the processing plant and can build up in the filters through which this water passes.
While demand for paws from China has allowed this part of the bird to be commercialized, a large number are still lost due to fungal infections, and this results in extra material entering the rendering process.
Rendering plants ought really to be receiving only those waste products that are produced under normal conditions. This can be summarized as blood, feathers and innards, which account for some 15 percent of the bird.
Daily amounts processed
The wet percentages processed depend on each plant and its particular processes for the transport of subproducts, the amount of water used, its equipment, and the conscientiousness of the processor in understanding that water must be removed at the processing plant.
As a percentage of the total number of birds processed, processing plants should receive no more than the following of saleable product:
As a final thought, it would be worth considering whether the water used in the chillers, which is rich in residues, could, through careful filtration, supply an additional rich subproduct. Renderers should keep a careful eye on this possibility. Achieving this would also reduce wastewater treatment costs.

Over-scalding can result in the loss of 85 percent of scaldable meat.
Removing the viscera must be handled quickly and with care, otherwise losses will increase.

Oscars: Does Hollywood fear "Zero Dark Thirty" torture debate?
Kathryn Bigelow's best director snub suggests Hollywood wants no part of the political controversy over torture SLIDE SHOW
By Andrew O'HehirTopics: slideshow, Movies, Academy Awards, Oscars, Movie Awards Season, Zero Dark Thirty, Lincoln, django unchained, amour, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Editor's Picks, Oscar snubs, Kathryn Bigelow, Entertainment News
On one hand, it sure looks as if Hollywood is getting skittish about "Zero Dark Thirty" and the continuing political controversy around its portrayal of torture and links to the CIA. As expected, the film was among the nine best-picture nominees in Thursday morning's Academy announcements. But Kathryn Bigelow was denied a best-director nomination in a category many (myself included) thought she might well win.
If Bigelow's omission was the biggest surprise of this morning's announcements, it wasn't the only one. Ben Affleck was denied a directing nomination for his Iran-hostage drama "Argo," and Tom Hooper, who won the directing prize two years ago for "The King's Speech," was similarly rejected for "Les Misérables." Also missing from the directing category was Quentin Tarantino of the bloody slave-revenge western "Django Unchained," but that's arguably less of a surprise given the academy's traditional allergy to any and all material tinged with racial controversy. (Consider the fate of "The Help" in last year's Oscar season.) All three films were nominated within the promiscuous best-picture category, but are now far less likely to be regarded as serious contenders.
But we can also choose to view what happened this morning as an embrace rather than a set of rejections. Once again the academy has skewed in a more adventurous and indie-friendly direction than most observers expected. Both the riveting old-age drama "Amour" and the magical-realist bayou allegory "Beasts of the Southern Wild" were nominated for best picture, and their creators – severe Austrian genius Michael Haneke and first-time New Orleans filmmaker Benh Zeitlin – were both nominated for best director. If the first outcome is not an enormous surprise, the second one definitely is. Personally, I never imagined I'd see the Oscars honor Haneke, one of the most rigorous and demanding cinema artists of our time, and I'll gladly trade Bigelow, Affleck and anybody else for that.
This year's Oscar nominations also feature the oldest best-actress nominee in history (Emmanuelle Riva of "Amour," who is 85) and the youngest (Quvenzhané Wallis of "Beasts," who is now 9 – but was 6 when most of the film was shot). Neither is likely to win, in a category that's expected to be a close race between Jennifer Lawrence of "Silver Linings Playbook" and Jessica Chastain of "Zero Dark Thirty." Similarly, every man nominated in the best-actor category who isn't named Daniel Day-Lewis – for the record, they were Bradley Cooper, Hugh Jackman, Joaquin Phoenix and Denzel Washington — is likely to remain an afterthought.
If we assume that neither "Beasts" nor "Amour" is a likely best-picture winner, and further assume that the directing category offers the best guide to what will actually win (as is usually the case), then this year's Oscar race sets up as a three-way battle between "Lincoln," Ang Lee's 3-D CGI fantasy "Life of Pi" (which garnered 11 nominations overall), and David O. Russell's realist rom-com "Silver Linings Playbook," which was nominated in every major category. To put it mildly, "Lincoln" is the overwhelming favorite. I wouldn't be surprised to see Day-Lewis, Steven Spielberg, writer Tony Kushner, supporting actor Tommy Lee Jones and the film itself sweep the big awards on Oscar night. (Sally Field is perhaps an underdog for supporting actress, given the consensus that Anne Hathaway's rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" in "Les Miz" has guaranteed her a statuette.)
If there were no other snubs as notable as those of Bigelow, Tarantino and Affleck, there were plenty of other big names and prominent films that went unmentioned. Wes Anderson's gorgeous and charming "Moonrise Kingdom" was denied any major nominations, which is really too bad. Many people thought that John Hawkes would be nominated for his role as a severly disabled man seeking to lose his virginity in "The Sessions," but the mild-mannered film underperformed at the box office. Previous best-actress winner Marion Cotillard probably deserved a nomination for her role in Jacques Audiard's "Rust and Bone" – but perhaps "Amour" was enough French film for this year.
Leonardo DiCaprio got no supporting nod for his role as a nefarious slaveowner in "Django Unchained," and Matthew McConaughey – recently honored by the New York Film Critics Circle for his winning role as captain to a team of male strippers in "Magic Mike" – also found no love from Oscar. There was a last-minute push to get a best-picture slot for "Skyfall," which is the highest-grossing James Bond film of all time, in a year when the academy plans a special presentation to honor the long-running franchise. But even with only nine of the potential 10 nominations filled, it didn't happen.

Julian Treslove, a radio producer, and Samuel Finkler, a Jewish philosopher, have been friends since childhood and, as they enter middle age, they reminisce over their struggles with self-identity, anti-Semitism, women, love, and the past.
McMillan Palgrave
Winner of the 2010 Man Booker Prize
Julian Treslove, a professionally unspectacular former BBC radio producer, and Sam Finkler, a popular Jewish philosopher, writer, and television personality, are old school friends. Despite a prickly relationship and very different lives, they've never lost touch with each other, or with their former teacher, Libor Sevcik.
Dining together one night at Sevcik's apartment—the two Jewish widowers and the unmarried Gentile, Treslove—the men share a sweetly painful evening, reminiscing on a time before they had loved and lost, before they had prized anything greatly enough to fear the loss of it. But as Treslove makes his way home, he is attacked and mugged outside a violin dealer's window. Treslove is convinced the crime was a misdirected act of anti-Semitism, and in its aftermath, his whole sense of self will ineluctably change.
The Finkler Question is a funny, furious, unflinching novel of friendship and loss, exclusion and belonging, and the wisdom and humanity of maturity.

Add a CommentOh my I am surprised to read these negative comments about The Finkler Question :o. I think Howard Jacobson is nothing short of a poetic and comedic genius! I laughed and was inspired by his magnificent use of language on every page.
It is difficult to know how this book won the 2010 Booker. It is touted as being humourous. It is not.
Wow. Howard Jacobson won the £50,000 (US$78,989) Man Booker Prize for Fiction for The Finkler Question....seriously?!!! Seriously? Wow. The Finkler Question was pedantic, monotone, depressing drivel on being Jewish....enough already! What a waste of ink, money and my time. One sorry, boring excuse for a book. Very, very disappointing.
zzzzz....zzzzzz..umm..what? oh just more conversation about being Jewish? Yeah Howard, you wrote that 30 pages ago and again 40 pages ago...literary dribble...a great sleep aid though.
I was really looking forward to this book, but by 50 pages into it, I knew that it was curtains. What a dismal pedantic waste of effort putting this together.. Now on to something more worthwhile. How do folks write books like this.
BAH! This book is SO pretentious! The characters are all unlikeable, and the premise was just insulting. (A non Jewish man tries to discover what it means to be Jewish in the 21st century? Seriously?) Thanks Man Booker for giving me ANOTHER book that is almost impossible to finish. Skip it.
Howard Jacobsen is my new favourite author. The Finkler Question is a great read, very funny and insightful.
I didn't make it past the first 50 pages, so I am not qualified to say whether there was a plot in this book, but I must say, if there was a plotline, I never found it. The writing is good but the stream-of-consciousness style lacks tension, so there was nothing driving me to read on. In fact, it was downright tedious. If you're curious about what it means to be Jewish, you may find this book more interesting than I did.
do I ever like this book. It is so funny.
Winner of the 2010 Man Booker Prize. This is one of those books that is a bit of a slog to get through, but I found myself thinking about it when I wasn't reading it - and that counts for something. Very funny at times.

Overhill Farms announces
alliance with Boston Market
Nov 11, 2010 7:00 AM
Overhill Farms Inc has been chosen as the exclusive licensee of the Boston Market brand of retail frozen foods, which are sold in most major grocery chains nationwide. As part of the agreement, Overhill Farms will assume responsibility for manufacturing, distribution, and marketing of Boston Market frozen meals, gravies, and other products.
James Rudis, chairman and chief executive officer of Overhill Farms, said, This is a very significant event for Overhill Farms. We have the opportunity to take a premier brand with a proven track record of sales, and grow that brand with product innovations and strategic pricing.
The agreement has a five-year term with options for two additional five-year renewals and is effective July 1, 2011. Until then, Boston Market products will continue to be produced by the current licensee. Rudis said the agreement with Boston Market is royalty-based and does not require an initial investment upon contract execution.
Overhill Farms will immediately begin working with Boston Market and will work with retailers on pricing, marketing, and promotion plans.
In addition to the opportunities this agreement creates, we think it also positions Overhill Farms to seek additional non-competing brand licenses, Rudis said.
Overhill Farms supplies prepared frozen foods for branded retail, private label foodservice, and airline customers. Its product line includes entrees, plated meals, bulk-packed meal components, pastas, soups, sauces, poultry, meat and fish specialties, as well as organic and vegetarian offerings. Its customers include Jenny Craig Inc, Safeway Inc, Panda Restaurant Group Inc, Pinnacle Foods Group LLC, and American Airlines Inc. Visit www.OverhillFarms.com for more information.
Golden CO-based Boston Market offers fresh, home-style meals in more than 490 locations from coast to coast.

Can It Get Any Worse?
And isn't it EPE's primary objective to preserve the name, likeness and image of Elvis Presley ?
Elvis Presley with Real Coffin Just Like Famous Last Photo.
Extremely unusual item is composed of a ceramic elvis bust laid in a real Poplar wood casket, reproducing the well known last photo of the King.
The coffin was purchased new specifically for this display, which has been featured in a few local newspapers. This would make a great Halloween prop with or without Elvis.
The lot includes the casket, the Elvis bust and torso and the visitation hours sign.
Please see pictures:

Hi there,
When this was shared on a site I was on last October, I complained to Ebay. Of course the horrible site I was on, some of the people thought I was being oversensitive.
Ebay didn't do a thing when I complained to them.
This is one of the most distasteful things I have seen. It would be great if people on here complained to Ebay, perhaps masses of numbers may do something.
At least they spelt the name wrong.
Yeah, its making me sick to my stomach just looking at it..!! ..how freakin' disrespectful can one get..
"How do I get placed in situations like this? Ah hell, I guess it's all part of showbusiness "~ Elvis in his limo on his way to perform in Omaha, NE on June 19th 1977
Overly sensitive? You can't be too sensitive about something like this. That man (Elvis) was a father, a son, a husband, and friend amongst other things. Don't they realize what they're doing to his friends, family and fans when they do stuff like this? This is being disrespectful to Elvis as a human being. I bet you they'll be singing a different tune if someone made a replica of someone they knew and cared about and sold it on ebay!
Don't find any words right now.
How freakin' disrespectful can one get..
Don't find any words right now.
Some of you all never been down South too much...
I'm gonna tell you a little story, so you'll understand where I'm talking about
Nothing EPE can do about this.It may be sickening but it's not breaking any rules on EBAY.You just have to ignore these things.
Honestly, I couldn't care less if this is offered on eBay or anywhere else.
There are a lot worse things, comments, websites and general stuff out there that denigrate Elvis each and every day. I've seen and heard all of these for the past 40 years almost, and if I got upset every time people did something like this, I'd have apoplexy.
It's best to just ignore crap like this. And there's absolutely nothing EPE can do about it either, so no point in alerting them.
Yes, it is distasteful and offensive to the memory of Elvis Presley as a man. But for Elvis Presley (the Product), there is little that can be done.
Personally, I find most of the souvenirs EPE offers just as distasteful, but in a different way not relating to the "death" aspect.
I saw this on ebay a while ago, so whether they're selling another one or it wasn't sold the first time, but I think it's disgusting that they can get away with selling something like this. Who in their right mind would want to buy it and display it. It does make me wonder what kind of sick people are out there
This is DISGUSTING AND DISCRACEFUL! I'm EXTREAMLY upset with this! Can't EPE do anything about this?
Of course not. The dummy pictured isn't actually Elvis (and it doesn't really even look like him, IMO) and there is no law that prevents them from displaying other pictures of Elvis with it.
Don't worry about this. Personally, I find that EPE-approved talking Elvis head much more offensive!
Is a good point: to us, EP is a human being, to *****s such as selling that thing, EP is just a product.
Of course, it could be argued that EP allowed himself, primarily via the films, to be turned into a product for mass consumption; still, IMO, no one deserves this kind of degradation.
That such things do happen is truly a "Sign of the Times" (Prince).
The reason why I complained to Ebay and asked others to do so, is that it is easy to sit back and not do what is right.
Please don't look at this as scolding from me, it is just a view I have. If everyone cared just a little more for others, the world would be a better place.
It is the ones who stick up for what is wrong, who make the difference.
Stupid people
I'd like to go to Graceland
I agree with you, Jess. When the funeral dirctors wife tried selling a piece of the pillow covering from the casket; many of us complained loud & long. It was removed without being sold.
I've worked in the medical field for years & am used to death. That's NOT what bothers me. It's the despicable way it makes fun of a man.
why would they do something like this? Where is there respect??
Without a song,the day would never end.
Without a song,a man ain t got a friend.
Without a song,the road would never bend,
so I keep singing a song. Elvis Presley
this is down right
'AWFUL" e bay should bring this down, i'm sure E.P.E. would be rigt on their tale if it was something that was going to take from their profits, but i will give them the benefit of the doubt and contact E.P.E. this afternoon and tell them about it[lets see what they will say and do], again i hope they will at least try to do something.

Animal sitters have a fantastic opportunity for a 2nd source of earnings by providing dog walking sitting solutions. As an added service, an animal sitter could provide their dog-owning customers a special package deal cost that will include particularly timed dog-walks in addition. Animal sitters are perfect as dog walkers since the dog and dog owner are already established customers.
Animal sitters are already familiar with their customer's canines and have actually gained the count on of both the pet and the family. Here are some ideas for how the pet sitter could market their added services: Offer a bundle deal that consists of 1/2 hour or hour long dog walks along with day-to-day pet sitting. Offer their customers recommendation bonus offers of one or 2 free 1/2 hour walks for each brand-new customer they send to the pet sitter dog walking company.
Part time pet sitters may not be professionally bonded but they should become so when they go into company. The professional pet sitter dog walker will have access to the customer's personal possessions inside their home.
Getting a kind of insurance is needed too since the canines will be out in the open and potentially connect with other canines. Before venturing out with the dog(s), take a practice walk around the yard or inside the apartment to be sure the dog is comfy on a leash.
If you are thinking about including dog walking to your pet sitting services, be sure to do the following: Purchase insurance as a dog walker. Talk to your customers about their dog's habits, unique requirements, temperament and strength. Acquisition one or 2 of your own leashes and collars in case your customer's dog leashes/collars are not protected.

Hebrew Roots FAQS & Myths
Post: #31
RE: Hebrew Roots FAQS & Myths
Quote:I see over and over again Messies who want to desperately be Jews, who want to convert, but they just can't give up Jesus. So they try to meld the Jew they want to be with the Christian beliefs they still hold. Speaking from my personal experience, I found that many of the messianics that I have been friends with didn't actually know any jewish people and hadn't interacted with any prior to their becoming messianic. Therefore they tend to equate being jewish with being torah observant.To many the word jewish conjured up images of pious men,rabbis and men in black hats To a jew though, the way they express their "jewishness" will vary according to their sub culture,the time in which they lived and their location. Those people that are familiar with jews and jewish people,will know that jews are just like everyone else.There are many types of judaism and even so many jews don't even practise judaism and instead are aethists or have joined another religion. Messianics seem to have the idea that just because someone is jewish that they are more holy or acceptable to God just for that reason. |

RE: Hebrew Roots FAQS & Myths
Quote:Messianics seem to have the idea that just because someone is jewish that they are more holy or acceptable to God just for that reason. You are 100% right. I was just looking at James Trimm's website and forum, and he proclaims in several places he is a Jew. Other members there also proclaim themselves Jewish, when they are not. I recently watched a video of someone who proclaims they were raised a " Modern Orthodox pharisee Jew" but are now a "karaite". But you can tell from the video he doesn't know what he is talking about because he makes a couple of very glaring mistakes. He is speaking in a church to a group of people, basically insulting "pharisee Judaism". I have no doubt he is a gentile trying to pass himself off to people who know even less than he does. It's very sad that so many Messianics think they need to be Jews or "Hebrews" or "Nazarenes" or "Israel" to be accepted by G-d. |

RE: Hebrew Roots FAQS & Myths
I just saw this post from a different forum. It is from a "Messianic" Jew who had a Jewish mother, Native American father, and was raised Catholic.
He has involved himself in the Messy faith for quite a few years now, and seems disgusted that it is filled with gentiles. I think it is one of the best descriptions of "Messianic" Judaism I've seen: Quote:gentile originated charicturization of what they think is Jewish |

RE: Hebrew Roots FAQS & Myths
Quote:He has involved himself in the Messy faith for quite a few years now, and seems disgusted that it is filled with gentiles. That is so sad! While I don't think that messianic judaism is what the NT teaches, it is still so sad to see how this person has missed the boat so to speak. There are so many Scriptures that show that God intended His Name to be praised by all nations and that Jesus was to be salvation to the whole world not just to Israel. The prophet Isaiah prophesied Isa 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. Isa 11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. Isa 2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. Dan 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. Dan 7:14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. There are more Scriptures like this but we get the idea in those. That poster Sheitl, seems to me to want to merge Jesus with Judaism, but as we have all recognised before,it can't be done without distorting or eliminating parts of the NT and also the OT. I don't understand his disgust if he is still a believer in Jesus.I would understand it more if he had left Messiah to convert to Judaism. I do agree with him that messianics do what they think is jewish but as I mentioned in another post, I think it has to do with them not having had experience or contact with jewish people in the past and them thinking that the jewishness makes them more pious or holy and thus to be imitated. |

RE: Hebrew Roots FAQS & Myths
Quote:I don't understand his disgust if he is still a believer in Jesus.I would understand it more if he had left Messiah to convert to Judaism.I've seen this attitude expressed before by Jews who are Messianics, including one who is a gentile and had a phony conversion to "Messianic" Judaism and now says gentiles (which he still is) shouldn't be a part of it. They also are the only group of Jews I know of that do not recognize converts to Judaism. It seems they feel being Jewish is a special club that no one else may take part of. |
Post: #37
RE: Hebrew Roots FAQS & Myths
One of the most ironic paradoxes within Messianic Judaism is that they reject the traditions of the Jews, yet embrace other traditions. For instance, the Jewish tradition is to not pronounce the tetragramaton, but instead say adonai or hashem. But anytime the Messianics use Hebrew words (emunah, menorah, meshiach, mo'ediym, etc) they are embracing the tradition of how to pronounce Hebrew words. There is no way to know how Hebrew was originally pronounced, it is only by the tradition of the Jews that they pronounce any Hebrew word.

Six Years of Knowledge Networking in Learning Sciences and Technologies
This report presents a series of in-depth reflections about the work of the Center for Innovative Learning Technologies (CILT) from 1997 until 2004. Each member of the CILT team (Principal investigator, postdoctoral scholar, project coordinator and manager) provided their personal reflections on what they, and all of us as a group, have learned from the attempt to stimulate the development and implementation of important, technology-enabled solutions to critical problems in K-14 STEM learning in
A bootstrapping scenario for elicitating CSCL services within a GRID virtual community
Amongst the various eLearning techniques, Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) is of growing interest within the academic world. However, during the first phase of the EleGI project, a noticable fact has been the difficulty to match the user needs with the potentiality of the GRID services.
Thus, through a fictive scenario, this article proposes to walk the path between the idea of creating a new virtual community and the realisation of this objective. This scenario takes the situat
Periodic table
This lesson provides knowledge about periodic law, groups and periods. Students will be able to identify and label each group with their names. Students will be able to relate atomic number and atomic masses of different elements of periodic table. Students will also be able to discuss periodicity of different properties of elements.
Mind and media in dialog: Issues in multimedia composition
In "Minds and Media in Dialogue, " Michael Mills and Roy Pea provide a theoretical view on how images might be incorporated in learning. As indicated in their title, Mills and Pea emphasize the distinction between internal representations - the minds in which learning is accomplished - and external representations - the media which encourage this learning. They suggest that learning is a result of the interaction (or "dialoguer') between these two elements, in a constructivist environment. This

Instruments of semiotic mediation in algebra, an example
The paper presents a class discussion which was set up within a long term experiment concerning the use of a software, L'Algebrista, to introduce pupils to theoretical thinking and symbolic manipulation. From the analysis of the discussion we will illustrate some aspects of how a teacher can use an instrument of semiotic mediation in order to guide the genesis and evolution of new concepts.
Literature Review in Games and Learning
This review is intended as a timely introduction to current thinking about the role of computer games in supporting children's learning inside and out of school. It highlights the key areas of research in the field, in particular the increasing interest in pleasurable learning, learning through doing and learning through collaboration, that games seem to offer. At the same time, the review takes a measured tone in acknowledging some of the obstacles and challenges to using games within our curre
Human and Artificial Agent's Conversations on the GRID
This position paper supports a conversational and social view of future e-Learning activities on the GRID.
This evolution of the Web seems to be nicely synergic with current developments in Agents and Agent Communication Languages.
Exactly what e-Learning needs in order to go over from a multimedia-based, passive or at best retroactive view of e-Learning resources to a proactive, peer-to-peer approach of social conversations among human and (progressively) artificial autonomous Agents.
How GRID could improve E-Learning in the environmental science domain
This paper will outline the requirements for an interactive e-learning system defined as part of the German research project GIMOLUS [1].
After a short overview over the Open Grid Service Architecture (OGSA) it will be shown that the capabilities of existing e-learning solutions are too limited in order to fulfil these requirements.
The last part will show how a GIMOLUS system could be built using a GRID service architecture and what the benefits are in doing so.
Systems Support for Collaborative Learning
One of the distinguishing features of novel network based learning environments is their capability to support group work and collaboration. TAGS, the Tutor and Groups Support Scheme, is an inter-disciplinary, inter-institutional project, which brings together software systems builders, subject-specialists and educational content developers. Collaborative Learning is central to the pedagogical goals of TAGS, and this has lead to the concept of groups being used as a fundamental organising princi
Resource-adaptive Selection of Strategies in Learning from Worked-Out Examples
Most tasks can be pursued by using different strategies (Logan, 1985; Reder & Schunn, 1998). In this paper we focus on strategies of learning from worked-out examples. Within a resourceoriented framework these different strategies can be classified according to their costs and benefits. These features may determine which strategy will be selected for accomplishing a task in situations with certain resource limitations.

Help Buy A Bullet-Proof Vest for Buzzy the K9
Have your dog's pic taken with Santa to raise money for a dog who protects the community.
For years, Buzzy has been protecting local citizens, and now Barb Smith thinks it's time we help him, she told the Community Advocate.
Smith owns Canine Pet Sitting and K9 Hydrotherapy in Northborough.
On Saturday, Dec. 8, Companion Pet Sitting hosts a "Pictures With Santa" fundraising event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to raise money to buy Buzzy the K-9 from the Shrewsbury Police Department a bullet-proof vest.
Award-winning photographer Jeffery A. Baker, of Visions by Baker, Worcester, is also donating his services and will take photos of pets with Santa (who will be played by Shrewsbury Patrolman and Buzzy's handler Chad Chysna, aka "Santa Claus" on this day).
Sittings are by appointment only.
Barb Smith, owner of Companion Pet Sitting, added that "several of you have asked about if folks want to donate to Buzzy's vest. We did look into having an account set up, but it is complicated and time consuming."
Instead, Smith said a check can be made out to Companion Pet Sitting with a note in the memo stating that it is for "Buzzy's Vest Fund."
"Whatever we collect will be deposited and one check with be given to the Shrewsbury Police department for whatever we raise for his vest," said Smith. "We filled every spot on Saturday and even had to extend the hours. We have some items that will be raffled off in exchange for additional donations as well."
Also, for those who wish to donate but cannot attend the fundraiser, make checks payable to Shrewsbury Police K9 Donation and send to Shrewsbury Police, 106 Maple Ave., Shrewsbury, MA 01545, attention Officer Chad Chysna.

I just talked with Patrolman Chysna on the phone not long ago. He had to run, as Buzzy and he were headed into a raid as we speak. Buzzy needs a vest!

Is there a place we can just donate? My cats are not able to come out for a pet picture : )

Hey Carol. Definitely. If you call Companion Pet Sitting or the Shrewsbury Police Department, they could tell you where to donate for sure. I'm sure Buzzy would truly appreciate that....

Great cause. How much does the vest cost and how much is currently needed to buy it?
Just wondering - do human officers have to buy their own vests?
I don't think service professionals of any species should be put in harm's way without adequate protection.
Proud Resident of Northborough

This a great cause, but where is the Town of Shrewsbury on this? Why does Officer Chysna have to organize a fundraiser for something the town should be providing? If nothing else, they should be "protecting their investment". I would be willing to bet that the cost of purchasing Buzzy, and his subsequent training far outweigh the expense of a vest. Just my opinion.

Many thanks to the folks at Companion Pet Sitting/K9 Hydrotherapy in Northborough. Karen and I had a great day photographing many wonderful puppies with Santa to raise money for a new bulletproof vest for Buzzy, Shrewsbury's brave police dog. They raised $800! Check out the online gallery here!

Why use Whathouse.co.uk for your mortgage requirements?
Whether you are a first-time buyer looking for a new mortgage or aiming to switch home loans at the end of a deal with an existing lender, you want to find the best option to meet your needs. That's not always as easy as it seems, with fewer loans available than at the height of the market and with lenders being more cautious about the amount they'll lend and who they'll offer mortgages to.
You may value the security of a fixed rate, a simply want a cheap re-mortgage. First-time buyers may value no fees and a discount in the first couple of years, when cash is tight, and some homebuyers need a specialist product to suit their personal circumstances. All borrowers, regardless of personal status, want to be able to compare the best mortgages on the market and find out what might suit them best.
Which is where the Whathouse.co.uk mortgage adviser can help.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
May 17, 2013, MPA data showing my rankings in my favorite categories are listed below:
I most recently worked part-time at a nonprofit. Now that my time is my own to spend, I am an artist -- watercolor and pastels for the most part. I love performing, whether it's readers' theater, original song parodies, or stand-up (that would be sit-down, in my case). I have been active in issues regarding disability and equal access for all forms of transportation and entertainment.
My husband and I have been married for almost 35 years, we survived the loss of our first-born when he was 21 and should have had his whole life ahead of him. Our middle child works with veterans, helping them with education options under the G.I. Bill. Our youngest graduated Cum Laude with a BS in Aeronautical Engineering from RPI in 2012. He landed a job in Colorado this year.

Gallery Reference:
There's no doubting the Charge Filter Hi is a capable bike. It's lively on tarmac and assured off road too. The higher spec bike as tested here has a bit of an identity crisis though. It's not light enough to really be attractive to racers and it's no more versatile than its cheaper stablemate, which looks the better bet if you're after a steel all-rounder.

Spurs used specifically on hookers. It was first coined by Xander Crews / Awesome X on season 2; episode 01 of the Adult Swim cartoon "Frisky Dingo"
Although no standard method of use has been exhibited one would assume they would be used in a similar "side spurring" fashion as in horseback riding. "Yeah, and he really put the spurs to her, and I mean that literally. He used my great grandad's whoring spurs."
