Best Short Haircuts for Women
Best Short Haircuts for Women – Hope is always there if you want something that you think deserves to be fought with all the resources and efforts. We suggest you learn from the experience of others and correct the mistakes they have done. Similarly, if you want to change the hairstyle, you need to look at other people who type with you.
Have you seen that ladies with a short haircut look insightful? Particularly on the off chance that they wear those little dark rimmed glasses mostly down their nose. Ever seen them? They look like cerebrum boxes. They are sometimes more attractive in the eyes of men, but not too excessive.
A study called "Early introductions Hair impressions" found that we do judge individuals on what they look like. When you see long streaming locks what do you think about the lady with those locks? For quite a long time it has been that ladies have discovered it extremely hard to keep up extravagant hair, long or short haircuts. How about we consider a couple tips around a lady with a short haircut.
There are common oils in the scalp. These oils saturate the hair and grease up it. In this manner giving the hair a characteristic sheen. Short hair profits by this activity since it's closer to the scalp. It's less demanding for long hair to wind up dry and split since it is more remote far from the helpful oils of the scalp.
At whatever point you wash your hair, increase your wash and cleanser close to your scalp. The heft of your common oils stands there and develops there. On the off chance that you have long hair focus your conditioner on your hair that is most remote from your scalp. It gives insurance and replaces oils.
On the off chance that you blow dry your hair, keep the blow dryer no less than six inches from your hair. It will keep intemperate harm from the warmth. Blow dry your hair toward the pole down the full length of your hair. Doing that will make a smoother appearance. Your hair will have a sparkle and a thicker vibe when you evacuate dried and split closures. On the off chance that you trim your hair each 6 to 8 weeks you'll give your hair a sensible opportunity to in the long run look great. You can see the best short hairstyles for women to be used as a comparison.

Recently, I went to see the film Dope: a movie that's reminiscent of the 80s goofballs-get-into-wild-misadventures genre of broad comedies. The film follows a high-school senior named Malcolm (played by Shameik Moore), a socially awkward kid with an obsession with the 90s that he shares with his two best friends Diggy (Kiersey Clemons) and Jib (Tony Revolori). The three kids are also part of a punk band (though punk is really a stretch based on the music they play) and are generally good students. Early in the film, Malcolm earns points with a drug dealer named Dom (A$AP Rocky) by being a messenger between him and an old girlfriend, Nakia (Zoe Kravitz). Malcolm and his friends get invited to Dom's birthday party, which ends in a police raid. In the chaos to get out of the party, Malcolm's backpack gets stuffed full of drugs, leading to various hijinx and movie wackiness for these three in-over-their-head characters.
Dope is a cute adventure story: it has its moments that are charming and even laugh-out-loud funny. As a teen comedy about drugs and shenanigans, it's just fine; the biggest gripe to be had with the movie is that it wasn't content with just being a silly teen romp, but instead felt the need to use this story for a larger thesis statement on blackness.
You see, Dope is also a movie about the perceived animosity towards the Black Nerd and what it's like to be a kid who's "not like the other kids." This is an attitude that the movie takes a lot of time to spell out for you over and over again. Malcolm and his friends (but Malcolm especially) get teased and beat up consistently for, what the movie colorfully suggests as, their interest in what the narrator calls "white people shit," like manga, punk rock music, getting good grades and applying to college—this is not labeled as nerd shit, by the way, it is specifically cited as White shit—and not for the simple fact of them just being uncool. Though it's not explicitly mentioned, you have to believe their fixation on rap music and culture from the 90s is also a tool used to further separate themselves from the herd and highlight their specialness. Your empathy and sympathy for these characters is based on the typical nerd persecution complex of girls not liking them and bullies beating them up for being smart. In fact, education is used as the crux of the us-versus-them logic on display. Everyone who's meant to be positioned as "different" in the film is so because they're "book smart" and trying to get into a college. In Nakia's case, this is her only real character trait.
This is a high school movie with high school-level thought processes on race that it tries to pass off as enlightened and appeases the sensibilities of existing white liberal ideas on the topic without offering any sort of self-awareness. In this movie you're either a nerd or a gangster, and the novel idea this film has about gray areas is that, "well maybe you can be a mix of both." It's static and lazy thinking, especially coming from the filmmaker, Rick Famuyiwa, who already made one a great coming-of-age film about high school kids, 1999's "The Wood". None of the characters in that film would fit in the boxes made in this movie and that was the beauty of it. It just felt like a story about kids growing up.
One of the executive producers of Dope is Pharrell Williams, which is notable in light of Pharrell's aggressive branding in the past year and a half as someone who claims to be a "New Black," someone who has moved beyond the limitations of race and is using his personal feeling of uniqueness as an argument in favor of a new progressive, bourgeois idea of Blackness countering the monolithic stereotypes of what Blackness is perceived to be. While this feels genuinely well-intentioned (even coming from Pharrell) but it's coated in an air of condescension and self-aggrandizement. In a fit to differentiate from perception, we end up silencing, belittling, or resenting our brothers and sisters who we feel are part of the problem. Dope is sprinkled with this same tone in its conversation on blackness. It's very apropos that this film has this conversation within the trappings of a high school setting, because it's there that many of these issues crop up. Often when someone makes the argument that Black people don't value education and instead romanticize violence and stupidity, it always seems to come back to when these people were in school and observed everyone else around them making poor choices whilst feeling that they were unfairly maligned for being who they were. I'm not here to tell anyone that their experiences were wrong or nonexistent but it is odd to base bold, generalized statements about the nature of most or all Black people on your childhood experiences, knowing fully well that 1) children at that middle/high school age are awful and 2) the world is bigger than your hometown.
Ultimately, the big lesson this movie is going for is the idea that Black people can be complex human beings. Malcolm is a nerd but he can also be a tough guy but don't forget that deep down he's just a nerdy regular kid like anyone else. It's nuance in the way that Brad Paisley and LL Cool J's "Accidental Racist" was nuance.
This sort of thing is old hat, though. For as long as Black people have been making art they've been tackling blackness, with regard to what makes an authentic black person and how to perform in this skin. Consider Paul Beatty's latest book The Sellout, a tough, maddening and incredibly funny satire of American culture: integration, urban plight, police, black militance, masculinity, class, etc.. The story follows a sheltered young man who, fuelled by the deceit of his family and the general disrepair of his hometown, enlists the help of the town's most famous resident—the last surviving Little Rascal, Hominy Jenkins—and decides to reinstate slavery and segregate the local high school, landing him in the Supreme Court. Beatty's book is dense; aimed at every facet of Blackness, the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Movement, and the common sort of sociological observations about the ways in which we lie to ourselves as people in order to get through the day.
There are parts of The Sellout that truly get underneath your skin–which is Beatty's intention–and can lead you to shrink away from the point being made, but ultimately Beatty doesn't seem particularly interested in advocating for a particular brand of Blackness. Everything is up for criticism and even dismissiveness for better or worse; The Sellout is articulate and specific enough in its approach to at least make for a well-thought out take on what it means to be a Black person in America—in both offensive and smart ways. It's also hilarious and its wit buys it a lot of goodwill. While it thrives less on being a conversation piece than just being absurd, it proves to be more deft and piercing in its take on race and the performance of blackness. A movie like Dope feels underthought by comparison; a sort of first draft contemplation on race.

Profit grew by 18.2 percent year-on-year to Rs 3,990 crore in the quarter ended March 2017.
HDFC Bank, the country's second largest private sector lender, has reported stable set of quarterly earnings on Friday as profit grew by 18.2 percent year-on-year to Rs 3,990 crore in the quarter ended March 2017. Non-interest income, operating profit and better-than-expected net interest income boosted earnings but sharp spike in provisions limited growth.
Net interest income, the difference between interest earned and interest expended, increased higher-than-expected 21.5 percent to Rs 9,055 crore compared with Rs 7,453.3 crore reported in corresponding quarter of last fiscal, aided by average assets growth of 19 percent and core net interest margin of 4.3 percent (against 4.1 percent QoQ).
The bank said total deposits surged nearly 18 percent to Rs 6.43 lakh crore as on March 2017, with current account deposits rising 30.7 percent (at Rs 1.15 lakh crore) and savings account deposits up 30.9 percent (at Rs 1.93 lakh crore).
CASA deposits were at 48 percent of its total deposits at the end of March 2017.
Other income or non-interest income during the quarter grew by 20.2 percent year-on-year to Rs 3,446.3 crore and operating profit jumped 27 percent to Rs 7,279.4 crore, HDFC Bank said in its filing.
Cost-to-income ratio for the quarter was 42.4 percent against 44.9 percent in same quarter last fiscal, it added.
Profit was expected at Rs 3,966.6 crore and net interest income at Rs 8,684.4 crore for the quarter, according to average of estimates of analysts polled by CNBC-TV18.
Provisions for bad loans increased sharply in January-March quarter, by 90.5 percent year-on-year and 76.3 percent quarter-on-quarter to Rs 1,262 crore, which consisted of specific loan loss provision of Rs 977.9 crore and general provisions of Rs 280.3 crore, the private sector lender said.
"The specific loan loss provisions for March quarter included provisions on accounts that would have turned non-performing in previous quarter, but were classified as NPA during the quarter, in line with additional 60/90 days dispensation provided by the RBI," the bank explained.
Asset quality was stable during the quarter as gross non-performing assets were unchanged at 1.05 percent and net NPA rose 1 basis point to 0.33 percent compared with previous quarter.
In absolute terms, gross NPA increased 12.5 percent sequentially to Rs 5,885.6 crore and net NPA jumped 17.88 percent to Rs 1,844 crore in the quarter ended March 2017.
HDFC Bank said the board of directors today has approved dividend of Rs 11 per share.
Capital adequacy ratio at the end of March quarter stood at 14.6 percent against 15.5 percent as of March 2016 and 15.9 percent as of December 2016.At 13:43 hours IST, the stock was quoting at Rs 1,479, up 1.17 percent after hitting a life high of Rs 1,479 amid high volumes on the BSE.

U.S. President's Travel to Da Nang City, Viet Nam Will Send the Wrong Message

Open Letter to President Trump
U.S. President's Travel to Da Nang City, Viet Nam Will Send the Wrong Message
June 30, 2017
The Honorable Donald Trump President of the United States of America The White House
Dear President Trump:
We, the undersigned U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents, as Vietnamese Americans, call on you to advise the government of Vietnam that you expect Vietnam to respect the rights of Vietnamese Americans whose property has been wrongly taken by the Vietnamese government, and to take immediate steps to return those properties to us as rightful owners, and to properly compensate us for the wrongful takings and use of our property.
Mr. President, we ask you to refrain from dignifying the venue of the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit, at which you have officially announced your attendance.
Da Nang City will host this year's APEC Summit and plans to hold most of its key activities at the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort. The owner of this luxury resort, Sun Group, has since 2010 collaborated with the corrupt and unelected government of Da Nang City to expropriate all the land and buildings of our Catholic Parish of Con Dau, thus driving this 142-years old parish and the surrounding all-Catholic community into extinction.
On May 4, 2010, the Da Nang City government sent hundreds of police troops, including paramilitary "anti-riot" units, to assault many of us and our family members as we were attending the funeral of a 93-year old fellow parishioner, using tear gas, metal batons, electric rods, and rubber bullets. They stole the casket and beat up more than 100 mourners, including children, pregnant women, and the elderly. Sixty-two parishioners were arrested and brought to the police station, where they were subjected to torture. Six of them were later sentenced to prison terms. One parishioner who escaped arrest was later caught and severely tortured. The next day he died of torture-induced injuries. In relocating the parish's cemetery, the Da Nang City authorities desecrated hundreds of tombs of our ancestors.
We, the undersigned, are either victims of the brutal treatment of the Da Nang City Government or the loved ones of these victims. Many of us had to flee to Thailand and Malaysia and were later admitted by the United States for resettlement as refugees; the widow, surviving children, and brother of the victim of extrajudicial killing are among the signatories to this letter. Other signatories are either U.S. relatives of the victims or owned properties in Con Dau parish that were illegally taken by the government of Da Nang City.
Con Dau parishioners have repeatedly petitioned to the past and present Prime Ministers of Vietnam for intervention, staged months of protests in Ha Noi, and spoken to representatives of the central government and Da Nang City government officials, all to no avail. The Da Nang City Government has expropriated the lands belonging to parishioners and many of us, U.S. citizens and residents, turning them over to Sun Group, a private developer, to illegally and in violation of our property rights divide into small lots for sale to private investors. The total market value of our expropriated lands is estimated at 1.2 billion US dollars, but the total amount of compensation offered to Con Dau Parish and its parishioners was less than 4 million US dollars. Sun Group advertises its hotels and resorts in the American market and offers free U.S. tours to its investors. The property in question is known as the "InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort". While InterContinental is indeed a respected company with properties throughout the United States, its activities in Vietnam and at Danang Sun Peninsula Resort are shameful and must be denounced. The property does not deserve to host you, Mr. President, the leader of the free world. And you and the United States, should not countenance their wrongful conduct by gracing the property with your honored presence.
On June 19, 2017, the Da Nang City government announced its ultimatum: failure to comply with the government's order by July 5, 2017 would result in blanket eviction and relocation of all the remaining parishioners. This deadline is upon us; and we are practically powerless, without you, Mr. President, in standing against the evil forces of Da Nang City government. We implore, that you will speak out against the wrongs being visited upon our people. Make it clear, that the United States will not tolerate any further attempts at evictions, relocations and expropriations of its citizens' property.
Hundreds of our loved ones in Vietnam are braving threats of further persecution by the government of Da Nang City to fight for the preservation of our parish, our culture, our traditions, and our faith. The appearance of the President of the United States and his high-visibility entourage in Da Nang City and your stay at the Sun Group-owned facility would send exactly the wrong message: that America not only tolerates but also gives her blessing to acts of religious persecution against an entire Catholic community and expropriation of the properties of U.S. citizens.
We therefore ask that:
1) Your Administration ensure that the APEC Summit will not be held in Da Nang City or at any facility owned by Sun Group, in Da Nang City or elsewhere;
2) You personally request, urge and demand of Vietnam's Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, whom you recently met at the White House, to protect the remaining 93 families of Con Dau parishioners from eviction from their 142-years old all-Catholic parish; and
3) You raise the issue of the real properties which have been illegally expropriated by the Vietnam government from U.S. citizens in advance of and during your upcoming visit to Vietnam and press the Vietnamese government to pay effective, prompt, and fair compensation for all the properties it has illegally expropriated from U.S. citizens.
We respectfully thank you, Mr. President, for helping us seek justice as proud Americans.

For the most part, the bag is in excellent shape- there are two itty bitty scuffs on the body/piping (neither is larger than 2 mm) The only thing I'm worried about is the grommets- two are cracked. Has anyone else had this happen to their Noe? It doesn't affect the integrity of the bag, but I might want to see about getting them replaced at some point... The last three digits of the datecode are 928... which is awesome because my birthday is Sept. 28th!! (obviously, this was went to be!)

ASHLEY HALL: A major investment that was hoped to save the Gunns pulp mill project in Tasmania has fallen through.
It was announced early last month that the New Zealand-born billionaire Richard Chandler would take a 40 per cent stake in the company and help to get the pulp mill built.
But Gunns told the stock exchange this morning that the investment won't be proceeding.
Reporter Felicity Ogilvie joins me now from our studio in Hobart. And Felicity what exactly did Gunns tell the ASX?
FELICITY OGILVIE: Well Ashley, Gunns has requested a trading halt effective for the next two business days.
And Gunns says that they have been advised that the Richard Chandler Corporation does not intend to proceed with its participation in the proposed company equity raising as they outlined to the market on the 8th of February this year.
Gunns goes on to say that it is in discussions with equity investors in respect of the raising and that further information will be provided in respect of the recapitalisation when the discussions are concluded.
ASHLEY HALL: So is there any explanation about why Richard Chandler has changed his mind about investing that $150 million in the company?
FELICITY OGILVIE: No there has been no reason given at all, not by Gunns and neither by Richard Chandler himself or his corporation.
We have put in calls to Singapore where he's based this morning and his PR representative says that they are not allowed, that they simply can't give us a response yet today about the reason for why the corporation will no longer be investing in Gunns.
ASHLEY HALL: Well there's been continued strong opposition to this project. Could that have had anything to do with it?
FELICITY OGILVIE: Well Ashley the Premier of Tasmania certainly thinks so. The Richard Chandler Corporation was doing due diligence about the investment and actually representatives visited Tasmania last month.
They met with the Premier and the Opposition who support the pulp mill. But they also met with community groups who oppose the mill and told them about the protests that have been going on since the mill was first brought to light.
And this is what the Premier Lara Giddings had to say about those meetings that the Chandler Corporation had with the environmental groups.
LARA GIDDING: I believe it certainly is concerning that it would seem as if some of the meetings that they have held with environmental groups in this state have had an impact on their thinking.
FELICITY OGILVIE: And the Tasmanian Green Senator Christine Milne also thinks that those meetings have had an impact on the company.
CHRISTINE MILNE: And they found that not only had this whole pulp mill project had a corrupted approval process but that the level of community opposition was enormous and that there was no social licence to operate.
Now if the Chandler Corporation is actually serious about transparency and ethical governance that would have been a major problem to them.
ASHLEY HALL: That is the Greens Senator Christine Milne.
And Felicity, is this the end then for the pulp mill project?
FELICITY OGILVIE: Well Ashley that's a question that only time can answer. We do know that at the time that this Richard Chandler investment was announced that the head of Gunns Greg L'Estrange said that that investment was putting Gunns in the best position it had ever been in to get the finance it needs to build the $2.3 billion pulp mill, which if it is built will be Australia's biggest pulp mill.
And it's an investment that the state of Tasmania, that politicians, that the Labor and Liberal politicians in Tasmania say is desperately needed in the state at the moment.
And Gunns did plan to try with a rights issue to raise $130 million. That was their intention. And it seems that Gunns is going to go ahead with that.
So they say they are in discussions with equity investors. And for the past eight years the project has been mooted and especially for the past four Gunns has been talking about wanting a joint venture partner to invest, that the trees are there, people say it's a good investment. It's simply a question of can Gunns get the money it needs to get this pulp mill built?
ASHLEY HALL: It's a long time coming. Felicity Ogilvie in Hobart, thank you very much.

It was Deja Vu all over again just like the proposed city ordnance to ban overnight parking within the city limits of Palo Alto impacting the disenfranchised.
The police, namely Lt. April Wagner aka Chan/Wagner in full uniform with her loaded sidearm clearly stood ready to enforce whatever draconian ordinance is decided upon.
I personally know Ms. April Wagner and she is a text book example of a detective known to be aggressive and deceptive. In my opinion she's a bad cop.
How quickly we have forgotten that Lt. April Wagner was found by a court of law to have violated the constitutional rights of longtime resident Tony Ciampi and it is alleged she fabricated police reports and evidence.
This in itself, should give rise and alarm us all to the potentiality of Lt. April Wagner and her enforcement team falsifying evidence collected during massage business raids.
In the Ciampi case, the city of Palo Alto paid out a 35 thousand dollar settlement for her mistakes and those of her colleagues.
What I also found alarming and disturbing among other things in her report to city council, was that she made it a point of having readily available and accessible massage therapy client lists, for unannounced police raids for any potential violations.
Here's how a portion of the newly created ordinance reads….
4.54.120 Inspection by official
"Any and all investigating officials of the city shall have the right to enter massage establishments from to time during regular business hours to make reasonable inspection to observe and enforce compliance with building, fire, electrical, plumbing or health regulations. A warrant shall be obtained whenever required by law."
[absent of exigent circumstances]
It was also evident from last night's discussion that Wagner was ill prepared and unable to produce any real hard data or for that matter, unable to address any issues or complaints (sexual assaults or activities) evolving massage therapy businesses or otherwise within Palo Alto or in attracting the criminal clientele. This data was non-existent prompting several council members to wonder and suggest if we even have a problem at all.
What's the big deal? Why do anything as councilman Larry Klien mentioned. One thing is for sure there's an obvious divide between reflexology, massage therapy and a simple foot rub. The reflexology professionals are asking for an exemption to the city's proposed ordinance along with the foot massage therapists.
But wait, what about the foot massage business. Why should they be forced to comply and compete right alongside the massage therapists and reflexologist professionals with expensive training and licensing as mandated by the State of California?
Again, why is the police and the city's attorney's office pushing for state compliance and why are the police involving itself in the administration of an occupation some claim is equal to doctors and lawyers.
Essentially, Wagner's response was, she worries about Happy Feet causing injury by putting a client in a strangling toe hold. This whole process seems absurd in my opinion.
If there are complaints with the level of service or for that matter health issues, get the health department involved and not the police in all non-criminal activities or behavior. It just seems like the police and our lawmakers are attempting to criminalize the entire massage therapy profession by placing a strangle hold on legitimate businesses.

Technically, _NONE_ of them should use Pentosin. They should all use G 002 000. This is Audi's own fluid. At first, on the early Type 44 and Type 85 cars, it had a red cap and Pentosin 7.1 was an acceptable substitute. When the later Type 44 and Type 85 cars came out (easiest identifier is _three_ hoses to the pump instead of _two_) Audi changed the formulation of G 002 000 (and fitted a green cap). For this formulation, Pentosin 11s is an acceptable subsitute. Now - pay attention. Apart from the possibility of old stock lying about, G 002 000 can be used in _either_ system - just as Pentosin 11s can. Backwards compatibility. The opposite is _not_ true - old stock (more than ten years now, so not a problem) of G 002 000 _or_ Pentosin 7.1 can only be used in the older (two hoses to the pump) system. > Also, Which ones have the bomb? I understand that all turbo cars do. Is > that correct? What about the others? All Type 44s and Type 85s. The type fitted to the tandem pump (three hoses to the pump) system is different - it has various valves integrated so they're swapped out with the bomb.

text: Concern for abjurations and ecclesial attention to keeping the doors of the church open for returning people will be, from now on, the main focus of the pastoral work and efforts of the Austrian Church. These areas have been emphasised by the publication of the latest statistics about the state of the Catholic Church in Austria and the surveys of each diocese. The number of people who abjured decreased in 2016 from 2015, with a 3% increase and a trend that is more or less the same in every diocese, where in Eisenstadt, St. Pölten, Feldkirch alone there has been a slight rise in the number of devotees who have left the Church. While everywhere the number of people returning to the church has slightly increased, with a total of 567 devotees using their right to revoke their abjuration. That number of people who voluntarily join the Catholic Church again adds up to the number of people who are christened as adults (over 14 years of age), whose official statistics are not available yet. The main factors for the slight decrease in the number of Catholics are however not just the ratio of people leaving to people joining the Church, but also the christenings-to-deaths ration and the excess of immigrants versus emigrants.

- I think I can safely speak for all of us here at Pixelrater when I say we really don't condone eating at McDonalds (although we have no issues if you do). Even still, the latest partnership between the fast food giant and Nintendo may sway some of you. The two are giving away 100 Mario Kart 8 Switch bundles here in the US (because of course they are). Our take? You're better off looking for a Switch elsewhere and eating something a little, well, better.
- Nicalis teased the company's first amibo for Binding of Isaac. We have no confirmed date, price, or idea of what enhancements it would being to Binding of Issac for Switch.
- Fans of Mario Kart 8 who loathe a controversial technique known as "fire hopping" can rest easy, as the method hasn't made it into the Switch version of the game.
- Fast RMX (Tristan's review) received an update to version 1.2 which adds a time attack mode along with a better system for connecting with friends.
- If you're a Minecraft fan on Wii U and are worried about losing the hours poured into your creations when moving to Switch fear not—Mojang has a method for world transfers, although it won't make it for launch. The Switch version also runs at a smooth 60fps and features game worlds 3.5x larger than Wii U at 3072 x 3072 compared to Wii U's world size of 864 x 864.
- The first 100% completion run for Breath of the Wild has been done by French speaking Xalikah. It took him 49hr 9min 41s to complete all side quests, main quests, complete all shrines, and find all collectibles.
- The NPD revealed Switch is the fastest selling console for Nintendo and the second fastest selling console overall since the company began tracking the games industry in 1995.
- Kamiko is coming to the eShop in North America and Europe next week for $5. Tristan and I loved the game as witnessed in his initial writeup and brief playthrough, my Twitch stream, and our podcast episode.
- Halo Wars: Definitive Edition is now available for purchase on Xbox One, Windows 10, and Steam.
Industry News
- Blizzard has changed the way ties work in Overwatch after receiving a "tremendous amount of feedback" from the games community. Now, one team needs to make a minimum of 33% progress over the other in order to be the winner. So expect more ties Overwatch fans.
- Super Bomberman R has received an update to version 1.3 which adds a new stage, tweaks the difficulty settings, and includes general bug fixes. Perhaps most impressive, is the title's jump from 30fps to 60fps.
- Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego is receiving a revival via an animated TV series on Netflix the company announced. The series' first season will span 20 episodes at 22 minutes each and is expected to premiere in 2019.
- Brandi Nampo has filed a trademark for PAC-Man Maker in Europe. If this points to the release of an actual game, we'll see if PAC-Man has the same nostalgic pull as Mario (it probably doesn't).
- The original StarCraft has gone free-to-play, and I don't mean free with a shit ton of microtransactions. Blizzard has released StarCraft and theBrood War expansions as complete free games which is a smart way to get people into the game and maybe convince them to purchase the upcoming StarCraft Remaster. Seems like a great way to get people talking about a game that's almost two decades old at this point.

Botox® in Columbus, OH
One of the most widely known cosmetic procedures in Columbus, OH is Botox. Botox® is a medication best known for its temporary paralyzing action on the underlying muscles of the face responsible for expression. With constant repetition, these facial expressions cause the formation of creases and wrinkles in different parts of the face, contributing to an aged and tired looking appearance. Botox® is composed of botulinum toxin and is best known for its ability to block the nerve signals that trigger the muscles to contract. As this happens, the wrinkles eventually are smoothed out because the skin is no longer being creased or folded repeatedly.
Why should I consider using Botox®?
The temporary paralyzing action that Botox® exerts on the muscles causes these muscles to relax and ultimately reduces the signs of aging. It has been found to be highly effective for treating frown lines in between the patient's eyebrows, forehead furrows, and crow's feet at the corners of the eyes.
Are there any risks when using Botox®?
Generally, Botox® is considered to be very safe and effective when used for cosmetic procedures. The most common side effects experienced with Botox® injections are redness, bruising, and swelling at the injection sites. When injected incorrectly, or if the drug accidentally spreads to adjacent areas on the face, it could lead to drooping eyelids, uneven eyebrows, dry eyes, excessive tearing, or crooked smiles.
What is Dysport® and how does it work?
Dysport® is a drug used as a simple and non-invasive method of treating wrinkles. It is a protein synthesized from the abobotulinum toxin, which is commonly used in the medical field to treat muscle spasms. In cosmetic medicine, Dysport® works by exerting a relaxing effect on the muscles underlying the wrinkles, temporarily immobilizing them and helping smooth the wrinkles away. There have been reports of patients even losing the urge to frown following Dysport® treatments, which can be instrumental to the long-term effects of the drug in wrinkle treatment. Dysport® is effective and safe for use in reducing the appearance of facial lines and creases. Tiny amounts of this drug injected directly into the muscles will gradually relax them and improve the appearance of wrinkles to give the patient a smoother, more youthful looking face.
Are there side effects with Dysport®?
The typical side effects associated with the use of Dysport® are temporary soreness and bruising at the injection sites. In a few cases, patients have experienced temporary drooping eyelids and even allergic reactions.

Gilded Cage (Dark Gifts #1), by Vic James
Our world belongs to the Equals — aristocrats with magical gifts — and all commoners must serve them for ten years. But behind the gates of England's grandest estate lies a power that could break the world. A girl thirsts for love and knowledge. Abi is a servant to England's most powerful family, but her spirit is free. So when she falls for one of the noble-born sons, Abi faces a terrible choice. Uncovering the family's secrets might win her liberty, but will her heart pay the price? A boy dreams of revolution. Abi's brother, Luke, is enslaved in a brutal factory town.

And an aristocrat will remake the world with his dark gifts. He is a shadow in the glittering world of the Equals, with mysterious powers no one else understands. But will he liberate—or destroy?

Miranda and Caliban, by Jacqueline Carey
Miranda is a lonely child. For as long as she can remember, she and her father have lived in isolation in the abandoned Moorish palace. There are chickens and goats, and a terrible wailing spirit trapped in a pine tree, but the elusive wild boy who spies on her from the crumbling walls and leaves gifts on their doorstep is the isle's only other human inhabitant. There are other memories, too: vague, dream-like memories of another time and another place. There are questions that Miranda dare not ask her stern and controlling father, who guards his secrets with zealous care: Who am I? Where did I come from? The wild boy Caliban is a lonely child, too; an orphan left to fend for himself at an early age, all language lost to him. When Caliban is summoned and bound into captivity by Miranda's father as part of a grand experiment, he rages against his confinement; and yet he hungers for kindness and love.
Portal of a Thousand Worlds, by Dave Duncan
Epic in scope and imagination, "The Portal of a Thousand Worlds" is a novel of love, murder, magic, treason, rebellion, and politics in nineteenth-century China. The portal opens once every thousandyears or so always with disastrous results and omens suggest it is due to open again. An inventive tale that seamlessly combines history and fantasy, Dave Duncan s newest tale is surely his best."
Shadowbahn, by Steve Erikson
When the Twin Towers suddenly reappear in the Badlands of South Dakota twenty years after their fall, nobody can explain their return. To the hundreds, then thousands, then tens of thousands drawn to the American Stonehenge including Parker and Zema, siblings on their way from L.A. to visit their mother in Michigan the Towers seem to sing, even as everybody hears a different song. A rumor overtakes the throng that someone can be seen in the high windows of the southern structure. On the ninety-third floor, Jesse Presley the stillborn twin of the most famous singer who ever lived suddenly awakes, driven mad over the hours and days to come by a voice in his head that sounds like his but isn't, and by the memory of a country where he survived in his brother's place. Meanwhile, Parker and Zema cross a possessed landscape by a mysterious detour no one knows, charted on a map that no one has seen. Haunting, audacious, and undaunted, Shadowbahn is a winding and reckless ride through intersections of danger, destiny, and the conjoined halves of a ruptured nation.
Tethered: Aquarius (Zodiac Shifters), by Beth Caudill
For over one hundred years, Evelyn Brooks experienced the world through her photography. Now her creativity has deserted her and a stalker drove her from her home. Looking for a new sanctuary, she moved to North Carolina. Exploring the skies of her new home, a bolt of magic knocks her falcon form from the air. Park ranger Lawke Morgan's already bad day got worse when his ex-wife dropped off their 13 year old daughter and left for a vacation in London. Dealing with his daughter is nothing compared to discovering magic and shapeshifters exist when a Peregrine falcon he rescued transforms before his eyes. Then his daughter is kidnapped by an Aztec priest after Evelyn. In exchange for one of Evelyn's early pictures, located in the small town of Willows Haven, the priest will free Lawke's daughter. He will do anything to get his daughter back, even break the law. But magic has a way of entangling people together whether they want to be or not. To rescue his daughter, they must confront blood sacrifices, ancient gods and their own inability to trust. Can a woman used to the freedom of the skies embrace love with a man firmly rooted on the ground? (Novella)
Tower of the Gods (Lost Prophecy #3), by D.K. Holmberg
As the twisted groeliin press their way south, countless lives will be lost unless Roelle can find help, forcing her to go to an enemy for aid. It's a dangerous gamble, but she can think of no alternative, not if she intends to save as many as possible. Jakob continues having strange visions and struggles with what he's becoming. No longer does he question that he has power, but the only person who might be able to answer is trapped in Thealon. They must reach her before all is lost. Doing so forces them to face an army of Deshmahne and a horde of groeliin. As their paths converge, war extends throughout the north. All have to sacrifice, but even that might not be enough to defeat both the Deshmahne and the groeliin, all while trying to save the last of the gods.
Warlock in Training (Studies in Demonology #1), by T.J. Nicholas
Angus Donohue doesn't want to be a warlock. He believes draining demons for magic is evil, but it's a dangerous opinion to have—his father is a powerful and well-connected warlock, and Angus is expected to follow the family tradition. His only way out is to fail the demon summoning class. Failure means expulsion from the Warlock College. Despite Angus's best efforts to fumble the summoning, it works. Although not the way anyone expects. Angus's demon, Saka, is a powerful mage with his own need for a warlock. Saka wants to use Angus in a ritual to rebalance the magic that is being stripped from Demonside by warlocks. If Angus survives his demon's desires and the perils of Demonside, he'll have to face the Warlock College and their demands. Angus must choose: obey the College and forget about Demonside or trust Saka and try to fix the damage before it's too late. Whatever he does, he is in the middle of a war he isn't qualified to fight.
Were Me Out (Shift Happens #4), by Robyn Peterman
I'm a nice girl—really I am. I'm just a typical computer-hacking, knife-throwing, Star Trek-obsessed, overeducated Werewolf nerd who can't seem to get her love life to compute. However, it's time to grow up and face the music or more accurately the man I'm in love with… Junior aka Jacob Wilson—the Alpha of the Georgia Pack. First I'll have to stand up to some nasty gals who's pants are so tight I can see their religion. Then I'll claim my man. What should be an easy feat, gets sucktastic when you throw in a three hundred year old fabulous gay Vampyre, an antiquated motherboard from the 90's and a challenge from the vicious, deadly Alabama Pack. Not to mention a libido that is out of control. Mine. So I'm just gonna dive in—head first and eyes closed. Love conquers all. Right? As long as reality doesn't wear me out, I plan to win.
Winter of the Gods (Olympus Bound #2), by Jordanna Max Brodsky
Manhattan has many secrets. Some are older than the city itself. Winter in New York: snow falls, lights twinkle, and a very disgruntled Selene DiSilva prowls the streets looking for prey. But when a dead body is discovered sprawled atop Wall Street's iconic Charging Bull statue, it's clear the NYPD can't solve the murder without help. The murder isn't just the work of another homicidal cult — this time, someone's sacrificing the gods themselves. While raising fundamental questions about the very existence of the gods, Selene must hunt down the perpetrators, tracking a conspiracy that will test the bonds of loyalty and love.
Now, what do you want to win this week? Leave a comment, and I'll announce winners on Sunday.

Biela and Menu the Donington victors
DESPITE a defeat at the hands of reigning champion Frank Biela in one race and a poor opening lap in the second, the seemingly unstoppable Alain Menu nonetheless left Donington Park this afternoon (Sun) with a race win under his belt and an increased Auto Trader RAC Touring Car Championship points lead.
Before a 25,000 crowd and in front of BBC Grandstand's live TV cameras, the BTCC boys provided some vintage race action, wet weather helping to decide the outcome of round 11 of the championship and jump starts by Volvo's Kelvin Burt and Honda's Gabriele Tarquini gifting victory to Menu in round 12.
The steady Donington drizzle played right into the Audi team's hands for round 11 of the Auto Trader Championship. Despite relatively lowly sixth and seventh positions on the grid, Biela and Bintcliffe made the most of the superior four-wheel-drive traction of their Audi A4s to rocket past the wheelspinning front-drive cars including that of pole man Menu as the start lights flashed to green.
As the pack streamed into Redgate for the first time, Biela and Bintcliffe were already well ahead of their grip-challenged pursuers, headed by Tim Harvey's Peugeot, Menu, James Thompson's Honda and Jason Plato in the second Renault.
Harvey's tenure of second place was brief, though, as Peugeot hopes for a repeat of his thrilling Thruxton form faded fast; Menu moved in front of the 1992 champion on lap two and Thompson knocked him back to fourth a lap later.
By now the Audi Silver Arrows were three seconds to the good, and Menu's chances of catching them looked slim. The Swiss ace nevertheless buckled down to the job in hand and reduced the gap to a second by mid-distance. For the next seven laps the Renault doggedly tailed the second Audi and, as a dry line gradually appeared, waited for his moment to pass. It came three laps from the chequered flag, Menu outbraking Bintcliffe into Redgate.
Reigning champion Biela was not such an easy proposition, though. He held on in front to record his and Audi's second victory of the '97 season, heading Menu across the line by a second, with Bintcliffe a further 1.8s further back in third. Plato collected fourth after late-race mistakes from Thompson and Harvey, with Rickard Rydell fifth for Volvo. Reigning Total Cup champion Lee Brookes took the Independents' honours in his Peugeot.
With the track dry for round 12, Menu made a good getaway from pole position to lead Tarquini and Burt into Redgate. But a rare mistake from the Swiss ace saw the Renault run wide at McLeans on the opening lap, giving Tarquini and Burt a heaven-sent opportunity to edge past Menu and demote him to third. Any smiles in the Volvo and Honda pits were shortlived, however: Tarquini and Burt were judged to have anticipated the start and were instructed to visit the pits for stop-go penalties. Burt was the first to obey the black flags.
Adding spice to the situation was the arrival on the track of the Safety Car while Robb Gravett's beached Honda was removed from a gravel trap; as the Safety Car pulled in at the end of lap six, so did leader Tarquini for his penalty the resultant traffic jam caught out several drivers, including Menu, who was fortunate to regain the lead just ahead of Harvey. In the scrum, Plato and Thompson tangled, the Honda driver striking the pit wall and Plato suffering body damage which was to cause his retirement.
Menu settled back into a lead he would not lose for the duration of the race, but Harvey giving the Peugeot team its best-yet dry weather performance chased him hard all the way to the chequered flag, just ahead of Biela, who perhaps profited more than anyone from the early-race confusion. Tenth on the opening lap, Biela found himself promoted to fifth by the eighth tour, and quickly disposed of Bintcliffe and Rydell to take up third slot.
Bintcliffe was fourth from Patrick Watts, completing Peugeot's excellent day, with Tarquini sixth, smashing the lap record as he fought back from his penalty. Kelvin Burt's race ended in the gravel after a clash with Anthony Reid's Nissan. Lee Brookes was again the Total Cup for Independents victor.
With the Auto Trader Championship now at the half-way mark, Menu leads the drivers' title fight with 168 points, his closest rival, Rydell, a seemingly insurmountable 91 points behind. Renault leads Honda in the manufacturers' championship by 162 points to 112.
Driver quotes (round 11) Biela: "The weather was on our side and I made a pretty good start. My real problem was keeping John behind while trying to keep the tyres fresh. But once I had a little gap I was able to go at my own speed." Menu: "I was expecting the Audis to come by. I think I was a bit quicker than Frank but I don't know how hard he was pushing and I wasn't desperate to get past him." Bintcliffe: "There were no team orders I just couldn't get past Frank, he was too quick. I was perhaps ahead of him at the first corner but Frank got into a bit of a slide and I backed off." Driver quotes (round 12) Menu: "I had big oversteer on the first lap which meant I lost two places. I was right behind Tarquini and I didn't know that he had to come in for a penalty. As the Safety Car pulled off he slowed up and I couldn't overtake, Thompson hit me from behind. It was amazing. I guess I am lucky..." Biela: "I am a bit surprised to be third. The car felt perfect and the tyres were good. My only worry was that others would get past when the Safety Car pulled off, but they were stupid." Harvey: "I knew I was on the pace of the leading group, but I was lucky with the Safety Car incident. I ran into the back of Plato and all hell broke loose around me."

(The picture above is my homemade sun jar!)
It was awesome! I credit NotMartha.org for this awesome idea.
STEP 1: It's the easiest part! Shopping! You're going to need:
1.) A jar: The best kinds are found at Ikea, 'slom jars'.
1.2) Or if you find vintage jars in antique stores like I did, they work the same.
TIP: Buy the jar first, before you buy the solar light
2.) Solar Light: I favor the amber colored lights (limited findings, try Lowes)
3.) Frosting Spray Paint (Valspar leaves a nice coat)
4.) Tools: Screw driver (Phillips and flat head), scissors or something better to cut through plastic.
STEP 2: Frost the Jar! Two coats gives the jar a solid look, and diffuses the light really great.
STEP 3: Take apart the solar light…
This may be a little tedious, but basically, you want to take out the battery unit, circuit board w/LED attached, and the solar cell on top.
In the end, it should look like this…
It turned out I had to cut apart the plastic unit the light came on, and sneak everything through the little opening on the top of the light.
STEP 5: Glue the solar cell to the bottom of the lid on the jar.
Ta Da! You've made a homemade sun jar for under $10! Close the jar and leave out in the sun all day to let the battery charge.
Then at night, watch it light up!


text: Hi all, Firstly, I want to thank every developer of wine. This is the most amazing program I have ever seen. But we, all (Turkish people) have some problems about it. Maybe this subject was discussed many times before, maybe not. But I want to tell all the strory perfectly as I can with my terrible English. 1) Keyboard 2) Font These, two problems can be easily solved by configuring some simple things. So I do not want to talk about. 3) I don't know what kind of problem is this? I have translated some wine docs to Turkish and some friends help people about Wine. 90 percent of these people come to us with the same problem: Here's a common example Turkish people see in their consoles... ; user$ wine myprogram.exe err:module:BUILTIN32_LoadLibraryExA loaded .so but dll display.dll still not found - 16-bit dll or version conflict. err:dc:CreateDCA no driver found for DISPLAY wine: ../../windows/sysmetrics.c:122: SYSMETRICS_Init: Assertion `hdc' failed. wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger... ... (And a long list of debugging messages... These are not so important I think, so I decided not to post them) That's the problem and here's how we solve it; user$ export LANG=en_US user$ wine myprogram.exe Yes, there are no error/warning messages. "Ok, perfect you solved it , why are you still keeping to disturb us?" This solution has some disadvantages. The most important one is we can not use translated programs because they often look what the $LANG is. When they see en_US, they show us English programs. And the second one, people (especially newbies) dont want to use console and export command. They either would like to click on their .exe's and run them easily. I am not a developer but I can guess the reason. Turkish char.s are some way different from English ones. Here is the most problem one. upper => I , lower => ı (Please use iso8559-9 to view it) in Turkish upper => I , lower => i in English. I think this "dotlessi" (ı) causes all this problem. (Just an idea). Is there something you can do to fix it? Or what we can we do about it? Thanks too much and Good Luck... -- Armish http://lfs.geleceklinux.org http://linux-sevenler.de

Your relationship with your doctor and other health care workers is an important piece of your health. You are a team: you give them information about how you feel day to day, and they provide care to keep you as healthy as possible.
Finding the best doctor
You'll typically see a general practitioner (GP) for basic health care and a specialist for HIV- or hepatitis-specific care. If you get your general care at a drop-in clinic, it can be tough to see the same doctor each time you go. Some clinics make appointments, so if you can make an appointment to see the doctor you like, that's great.
Your relationship with your doctor will be a long one, so go for comfort, knowledge, and confidence. Here are a few questions to consider:
- Are you comfortable talking with your doctor?
- Are you confident you can work together?
- In the case of a GP, does your doctor have women with HIV or hepatitis C in their practice?
- If HIV or hepatitis C is new to your doctor, are they willing to learn about it?
If you're not happy with your doctor, ask yourself why. Is it general discomfort? Does your doctor understand HIV and hepatitis C? If you know or want to talk about what might improve the situation, Positive Women's Network can help in sorting it out.
Talking to your doctor
Talking to your doctor honestly is important. Doctors can seem intimidating, but they don't know everything. They need as much health information about you as possible so they can use it to help. Some of the things you may talk about include sources of stress, housing, food, relationships, and alcohol and drug use.
Here are some tips to make the most of your appointments:
- Write out your questions beforehand
- Bring a friend or support worker to the appointment for an extra set of ears
- Ask the doctor to repeat anything you don't understand
- Ask the meaning of terms you don't know
- Take notes of what the doctor says and review them later
- Take your time and ask questions
- Don't make major decisions on the spot if you're not comfortable doing so
- Book another appointment if you run out of time
If you need to talk with someone before or after your appointment, we're here.
Dealing with discrimination
Stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV or hepatitis C are unfortunate occurrences in health care. If you experience such treatment, know that you do not deserve it.
You can try talking with the health care worker or their supervisor about what happened. You can also write a letter of complaint, which can be given to the health facility as well as the appropriate professional associations. For example, a letter of complaint regarding a doctor can be provided to Doctors of BC and the Canadian Medical Association. You may also be able to file a human rights complaint.
You can get support with these steps from Positive Women's Network. A worker can accompany you, help you write a letter, and give you direction on who the letter can be sent to.

This was a blog by the gentleman – T. J. Dreschel – who photographed the Houghs in Utah over the holidays. He's a travel and destination photographer and it sounds like it was a fun job! You can read the whole article, but I've put an excerpt below.
And like any successful traveler, Drechsel was able to mix a little business with pleasure.
Through a mutual friend, he was introduced to Julianne and Derek Hough, the brother-sister celebrity duo from the television show "Dancing With The Stars." The Houghs, who are from Utah, were also in Park City and Drechsel was in charge of shooting a family portrait.
"They are pretty down-to-Earth Hollywood people," said Drechsel, who took photos of the family outdoors in multiple locations with the snowy Utah mountains in the backdrop.
"There was Julianne, Derek, their mother and three sisters. It was the first time they had all been together in a really long time and I had my camera with me so the whole photo shoot came together organically."

For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL- November 27, 2013 – Today, Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights Features: Haverty Furniture ( HVT- Free Report), Salem Communications Corporation ( SALM- Free Report) and The Andersons ( ANDE- Free Report).
Invest Like a Young Buffett
Stock investors were not impressed when Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway recently announced it had taken a sizable position in energy giant ExxonMobil.
Many commentators shrugged and some even tweeted out things like "yawn" in response to Berkshire adding the Dow component to its portfolio.
That's because it joins a bunch of other Dow Industrial companies already in the Berkshire portfolio.
At the end of the third quarter, Berkshire had $104.9 billion invested in equities. Its top 4 holdings reads like a who's who of the Dow Industrials: American Express, Coca-Cola, IBM and Wells Fargo. Just those four positions, alone, account for $58.4 billion of the portfolio.
Berkshire disclosed its Exxon position was 40 million shares for $3.4 billion. It's another sizable large cap position.
Berkshire Is Too Big
Berkshire Hathaway has a market cap of $282 billion. It owns over 80 companies and invests in dozens more. But when you have a portfolio that is over $100 billion, you can't just buy any small cap stock that stokes your fancy.
The larger you are, the more likely you are to invest in mid-to-large cap companies. Investing in dozens of small cap companies with $500 million market caps won't make a dent a portfolio that is worth $100 billion. For example, even if that $500 million doubles in value and becomes a $1 billion company, that's still just a drop in the bucket for a $100 billion portfolio.
That's why Berkshire is now saddled with numerous well known Dow component companies and owns no shares in companies with market caps under $1 billion.
Small is King
If you want growth, you buy small cap companies. Those are companies whose market cap is under $1.5 billion. Earlier in his career, before Berkshire grew into a billion dollar behemoth, Buffett used to buy obscure small cap companies and ride them higher to great returns.
If you really want to invest like Buffett, invest like the young Buffett. Forget all of Berkshire's recent purchases. Look for small cap companies that Buffett would have liked to own if he could he still buy small caps.
I did a screen for small cap stocks with Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and (Buy) stocks that also were value stocks, either through P/E, P/B or P/S, or a combination of those.
And then I asked: Would a young Buffett have bought this stock?
3 Stocks That a Young Buffett Would Have Loved
1. Haverty Furniture
2. Salem Communications
3. The Andersons
1. Haverty Furniture ( HVT- Free Report)
Buffett is a lover of furniture companies. Berkshire Hathaway owns several, including Jordan's Furniture, a furniture retailer founded in 1918 in Massachusetts. But one of his more famous investments was the 1983 purchase of Nebraska Furniture Mart. Headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, it was started in 1937 by Rose Blumkin who sold it to Buffett with a handshake deal.
It has three stores, including one in Omaha, one in Kansas City and one in Des Moines, Iowa. Expansion into Northern Texas is expected in the next several years.
Haverty Furniture fits within Buffett's model. Founded in 1885, and public since 1929, it is headquartered in Atlanta and still has Havertys working in the management team. The company has now grown to over 119 stores in 16 states.
On Oct 30, the company reported a record third quarter as it blew by the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 24%. Earnings of $0.42 were up 180% compared to the year ago quarter as the company cut expenses.
Sales rose 11.6% with same-store-sales jumping 11.8%. The average ticket gained 5.6%.
The company finished the third quarter with $79.1 million in cash and NO debt.
Valuations are still attractive even though the shares are at 2-year highs. Havertys is benefiting from the housing market recovery. Earnings are expected to rise 98% in 2013 and another 16% in 2014.
Forward P/E = 21.7
Zacks Rank #2 (Buy)
Market Cap: $650 million
2. Salem Communications Corporation ( SALM- Free Report)
Buffett has always had a thing for media companies, especially newspapers. Berkshire Hathaway still owns the Buffalo News, which Buffett purchased in 1977.
But if Buffett were young today, he may be more interested in other media platforms, including the Internet.
Salem Communications is the largest Christian and conservative radio broadcaster in America. Founded in 1986, it operates 101 radio stations in 39 markets. It also operates an Internet and publishing divisions, including Christianity.com, Jesus.org and Christian videos at GodTube.com. It's publishing division includes FaithTalk Magazine and Preaching and Townhall Magazine.
On Nov 5, it reported third quarter results which saw revenue rise 3.1% to $58.5 million. Radio revenue increased just 0.3% but that was because the heavy political ad buying of last year was absent. In it's fourth quarter guidance, the company also cited the loss of political ads as a drag on revenue.
But Internet sales were the big driver for the quarter, rising 20.4% to $9.4 million from $7.8 million.
While the company is expected to lose $0.21 a share this year, earnings are forecast to soar by 397% to $0.63 in 2014.
The company has no forward P/E due to the expected loss in 2013. But its other valuation metrics are still attractive. Salem also pays a dividend, currently yielding 2.5%, which is rare for a company of its size.
Forward P/E = N/A
Zacks Rank #2 (Buy)
Market Cap: $224 million
3. The Andersons ( ANDE- Free Report)
Buffett likes "old" industry companies like railroads and chemicals. These are companies which are the building blocks of the economy.
It's surprising, then, to see that Berkshire Hathaway doesn't own any agribusinesses outright.
The Andersons was founded in 1947 by Harold and Margaret Anderson as a single grain terminal in Ohio with the purpose of helping farmers get their corn to market. It has grown into a 6 division business with grain, plant nutrients, railcar leasing and repair, industrial products formulation, turf products, retail and ethanol operations.
On Nov 6, The Andersons posted a monster 50% beat as earnings were $0.91 compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of just $0.61. Ethanol and the Rail Group led the quarter, with the Grain Group also solid.
The company had been cashing in on higher fertilizer prices the last few years when that was hot but now it is Ethanol that has taken that position. However, one thing to watch is that the EPA has issued a Proposed Regulation which will change ethanol requirements in 2014.
Investors don't seem worried about the impact on The Andersons as shares have barely budged from their 2 year high.
The Andersons is expected to grow earnings by 10% in 2013 and another 23% in 2014. Despite trading near its multi-year high, there's still value in these shares.
Forward P/E = 18
Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy)
Market Cap: $1.5 billion
