"My knowledge is the same as your knowledge. My sources are the same as your sources; the publicly traded documents, the conference calls, and the interviews here on the show," said Jim Cramer.
The difference is that Cramer is a pro, who knows exactly what to watch for – and then how to make money as events unfold. Following are a handful of recent developments and an explanation of what a shrewd investor like Jim Cramer took away from them.

Search Of Gorgeous Wedding Dresses
Your big day is round the corner and you are still wondering where to get the stunning wedding dresses from? Wedding day is the most special day in everyone's life. Because of its importance, bridal dresses gain a lot of attention from the would-be spouse and all the guests. But finding that gorgeous dress is a Herculean task!
Like every bride, you would want to look the most beautiful on your wedding day. Maybe you have been dreaming about a dress too. Yes, it is tough to turn dreams into reality. Would-be brides always want that their bridal gowns should be custom-made. But such desires can be fulfilled only if you have enough time in hand to run to market for choosing fabrics, finding pricey designers, finalizing on designs and at the end alterations of wedding dresses.
Choosing A Wedding Gown
Confusion is often caused because of lack of information about clothes, as this is a designer's territory. A wide variety of fabrics is available in various stores, but which one to choose is tough to answer. So many colors to choose from too! So it is wise to stick to traditional white gowns. Once you decide to go with white or a specific color, still there are many more important decisions to make. Which design and cut would be the best? Where will I find the best designer? These are just so many questions haunting a bride.
In fact delaying in choosing wedding dresses would leave you biting your nails. As bridal gowns are an important part of marriage ceremonies, many times choosing a wedding gown is the responsibility of relatives and friends of the would-be-bride.
Answer to all your doubts and queries regarding bridal dresses can be found on internet. You can visit these websites and have a look their picture gallery, compare their prices which gives you an opportunity to choose from the displayed gowns. These websites will give an idea about bridal jewelry, footwear, hair styles, tiaras, gloves, veils. Some of these websites have the alternative to choose whether you want to buy a worn wedding dress or you want to sell a wedding dress. But these websites and boutiques need some time to prepare custom-made dresses.
You could ask any of your friends and relatives who got married recently for suggestions. You also need to pay attention to the details whether they had a themed event or not. If it was a themed event like "beach" they might have opted for beach wedding dresses which might not be suitable for your wedding theme.
Wedding is a special moment in life and to make it more special everything should be planned beforehand to avoid last minute hassles. To be a dazzling and charming bride choose wedding dresses, jewelry, footwear, hairstyle that is 'you'. For everything to be perfect and pleasant it should be well planned and totally unique.

So, I'm officially a substitute teacher. My teaching certificate arrived a week and a half ago and since then I have taught everything from kindergarten to precalculus 11. It's interesting. I'm learning a lot. I'm sort of getting my feet under me. Sort of. I will write a lot more about it later.
For right now, the pertinent thing is that there is a big upside to being a substitute teacher. Specifically, as a substitute I don't do all the things like plan units and mark projects and write report cards and meet with parents that take up a teacher's time outside of school hours. I show up about 40 minutes before school starts and leave about 45 minutes after it ends, give or take. And then when I'm home, I'm home.
This is novel for me because before I was a teacher I worked from home for years. There are a lot of great things about working from home. However, the downside is that you're always at work and you rarely have set working hours. It's very easy to find yourself spending your evenings trying to finish an article or writing invoices or trying to stay on top of your email. The same thing was largely true for me as a student teacher, as I tried to stay on top of both schoolwork and teaching at the same time. I was always working. It was good. I'm not complaining. I'm just explaining how liberating it feels to have my evenings to myself.
This evening, for instance, I found myself home alone with my son Jacob. My husband was working late and my daughter was at a performance of the community theatre production she's a part of. Jacob and I had a couple of hours to kill while we waited for Hannah to finish. He got to stay up until nine o'clock on a school night (!!!). I got to enjoy some mother-son bonding. We decided to settle in for some Netflix.
It's been a long time since I've watched a whole TV show or movie with my kids. That work from home thing meant that I mostly used screen time as work time. Movies and TV shows were my electronic babysitters. This evening, though, I was free. So Jacob put on his pajamas and we each chose a beverage to accompany our viewing. For him, it was milk. For me it was Trader Joe's Sweet Tea, which my husband kindly brought back for me when he made a recent trip to the US.
Once we were ready we pulled up Netflix and had some deep discussions about what to watch. We started with a couple episodes of Teen Titans, which is one of Jacob's favourite shows. Then we had a disagreement. I wanted to re-watch The Force Awakens, but Jacob wasn't into it. In the end I deferred to him and we watching the beginning of Zootopia. Jacob has already seen the movie, but I haven't. So far, it's good. I enjoyed it.
A lot of things are changing for my family now that I'm finished with school and working as a teacher. We're still figuring it out, but so far it's been really positive. I'm excited by this new chapter, and I'm enjoying the chance to spend more time with my children again now that I'm not a full-time student. It's pretty sweet!
I was inspired to write this post because I am a member of the Netflix Stream Team. The opinions in the post are my own, but take the fact that I receive cool promotional swag from Netflix as you will.

SOURCE: AlumiFuel Power Corporation
May 31, 2011 09:00 ET
PHILADELPHIA, PA--(Marketwire - May 31, 2011) - Early production stage hydrogen generation company AlumiFuel Power, Inc. ("API"), the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based wholly owned operating subsidiary of AlumiFuel Power Corporation (OTCBB: AFPW), (the "Company"), announced today that it is continuing to capitalize on the unique positioning and capabilities of its world class path-to-market partners.
API's novel AlumiFuel powder-based technology generates hydrogen gas and steam/heat for multiple applications aimed at large global markets: hydrogen lift gas generators fill and launch weather balloons; steam and hydrogen generators feed turbines and fuel cells for undersea vehicle power plants; and hydrogen generators drive fuel cells for a wide variety of portable and back-up electrical power applications. AlumiFuel hydrogen and steam/heat power sources provide 5-10X the energy density (runtime) of lithium batteries.
API's path-to-market partner for portable power applications is Ingenium Technologies, Inc. of Rockford, Illinois. The comprehensive, exclusive Partnership Agreement between API and Ingenium encompasses power generation and energy storage for Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (UUVs) and submersibles, as well as man-portable, back-up and Auxiliary Power Unit applications. In these applications, API's AlumiFuel technology provides the power to drive turbines, fuel cells and/or thermoelectric converters in power plants designed, engineered and/or integrated by Ingenium. In addition to its power systems and development engineering expertise, Ingenium's strengths include marketing to military and commercial customers, and a track record of program wins and successful program execution.
The global UUV market is expected to reach $12 billion over the next decade, encompassing commercial, naval and other national security applications. This number includes $1.2 billion for the power systems, with $400-$500 million related to the fuel modules. API and Ingenium are exploring a growing number of opportunities involving naval and commercial power plant applications with the U.S. Navy, allied navies, major defense contractors, and deepwater services industry players worldwide. In June 2010, the Ingenium-API team was selected for award of a U.S. Navy R&D contract for a novel new hydrogen fuel delivery system to power future fuel cell-driven UUVs, with Ingenium as the prime contractor. Based on the API-Ingenium development efforts using AlumiFuel, several major prime contractors/defense contractors have expressed keen interest in the API-Ingenium technology approach for UUV power aimed at two specific new multi-million dollar Navy program starts in 2011 for long endurance UUVs, replacing battery-based power, which does not provide sufficient mission duration, range, or safety for naval missions.
The overall global market for man portable power (generator and battery replacement) is nearly $8 billion annually, including $4.75 billion for portable systems (100W-500W) and $3 billion for mobile systems (25W-100W). The bulk of this market is in the U.S. and Europe, encompassing military applications powering battlefield electronics and munitions, first responder/emergency preparedness applications powering radios and other electronic and medical devices for homeland security& disaster relief, and commercial applications such as shoulder-mounted video cameras. API and Ingenium have successfully built a hydrogen generator capable of powering a 200W fuel cell. The generator has demonstrated eight hours of continuous operation, a very rapid start up time, and the ability to stop and restart. The generator/canister system has shown great scalability and is able to generate hydrogen flow rates suitable for fuel cells ranging from fractional kW to over 10kW. API and Ingenium are in active discussions with potential fuel cell company partners.
API's path-to-market partner for weather balloon applications is Kaymont Consolidated Industries, Inc. of Long Island, New York, the world's largest distributor of weather balloons. The global market for lift gas fuel is pegged at $150-$200 million and growing, with more than 1,000,000 weather balloons and special purpose balloons launched annually for telecom relay, cloud height measurement and special military applications. API's innovative Portable Balloon Inflation System (PBIS-1000), which was delivered to the first military customer in 2010, enables on the spot generation of hydrogen without any external energy or toxic chemicals, is easier to use and is cheaper than current lift gas solutions. Traditionally, helium has been used as the primary lift gas, but with the increasing scarcity and cost of helium, users are rapidly switching to hydrogen. The API portable launching unit is far more mobile and cost effective than other on-site hydrogen generation systems. Based on customer reaction, Kaymont believes that the PBIS-1000 hydrogen generator can become the field standard and lift gas product of choice for NATO and allied military customers, and that a scaled down version is an affordable, ideal product for global meteorological customers.
API's President & Chief Executive Officer, Mr. David Cade, said: "The domestic and international marketing opportunities for API and our world class partners are boundless, and we intend to leverage these relationships to the maximum extent possible."
About AlumiFuel Power, Inc.API (www.alumifuelpowerinc.com), the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based wholly owned operating subsidiary of AlumiFuel Power Corporation, is an early production stage alternative energy company that generates hydrogen gas and steam/heat through the chemical reaction of aluminum, water, and proprietary additives. API has significant differentiators in performance, adaptability, safety and cost-effectiveness in its target market applications, with no external power required and no toxic chemicals or by-products.

The Bank of Japan must act to head off further strengthening in the currency, an economist told CNBC on Monday, after the yen rose to a one-month high versus the dollar on the weaker than expected U.S. jobs report.
"With the Yen appreciating from 85 to 81, what the BoJ did in February is losing effect," Takuji Okubo, the Chief Japan Economist at Societe Generale Corporate & Investment banking said on Monday, referring to the central bank's expansion of asset purchases and its establishment of an inflation target of 1 percent earlier this year.
The BoJ's actions in February helped to weaken the yen to 83.71 versus the dollar by mid-March. But in recent weeks the currency has once again been strengthening as investors have become more wary about risk. A stronger yen hurts Japan's export-dependent economy.
On Monday, the greenback hit a one-month low against the yen, after the U.S. economy added fewer jobs than expected last month. The figures supported views that the Federal Reserve will ease policy further to support the economy. The Yen's attraction as a safe haven has also been boosted by tensions over a North Korean rocket launch.
According to Okubo, the central bank could signal its resolve to print more money by changing its inflation target at its two-day meeting, which is currently under way.
"We think the BoJ could potentially raise its inflation target from 1 percent to 2 percent. With this the BoJ could show more explicitly that (it) is trying hard to fight deflation ," Okubo said.
In the meantime as the yen continues to strengthen, one analyst says it could create a buying opportunity.
"If the U.S. Fed does not do a QE 3, U.S. rates will start going up again, and as such dollar-yen will be a buy," Harry Ida, senior analyst at Thomson Reuters told CNBC on Monday. "I think 80 or below 80 will be a very good buy for Dollar-Yen."

Several North Carolina communities will receive support in establishing incubator farms, thanks to the Center for Environmental Farming Systems (CEFS) and the Bringing New Farmers to the Table Project. Incubator farms provide new farmers with plots of land to begin their operations and hone their farming skills before they make an investment in a more permanent location.
CEFS, a partnership of N.C. State University, N.C. A&T State University and the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, has chosen five initial communities to receive project planning support for incubator farms. The average age of American farmers is now 57. To address this, the National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program is looking for ways to encourage interested individuals to become farmers, and incubator farms are one approach.
Bringing New Farmers to the Table will help support the supply side of the 10% Campaign —www.nc10percent.com — a program of CEFS and N.C. Cooperative Extension that seeks to encourage consumers to spend 10 percent of their food dollars locally. To achieve that goal, the campaign encourages the development and training of new farmers who produce and sell food products locally.
N.C. Cooperative Extension supports two established incubator farms: The Breeze Farm Enterprise Incubator in Orange County and the Elma C. Lomax Incubator Farm in Cabarrus County.
"Building the local food economy can spur economic development and grow jobs in North Carolina. One core aspect is nurturing new farmers in their quest to produce for the state's growing local foods markets," says Nancy Creamer, co-director of CEFS.
The communities and lead organizations that will receive planning support under the CEFS program are listed below. Other communities may be included in the future.
Jacksonville, Onslow County
This incubator project involves a collaboration among the Onslow County Farmers Market, N.C. Cooperative Extension, the Natural Resources Conservation Services and the City of Jacksonville. For more information, contact Larry Kent, Onslow County Cooperative Extension, 910.455.5873 or email@example.com.
Greensboro, Guilford County
A collaboration between Eastern Development Growth Enterprise, a non-profit economic development organization, and North Carolina A&T State University, this urban incubator farm will be developed on land provided by the Redevelopment Commission of Greensboro. For more information contact Gayland Oliver, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Robbins, Moore County
This project is an effort organized by the Town of Robbins and a growing number of partners in the community. For more information, contact Claire Barrow, 910.948.2000 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Wilmington, New Hanover County
LINC's Education of Agriculture Program, an urban farming initiative of Leading Into New Communities (LINC), Inc., in partnership with Southeastern North Carolina Food Systems Program, Feast Down East, is working with individuals returning from incarceration in New Hanover County. For more information, contact Frankie Roberts, 910.762.4635 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Goldsboro, Wayne County
