Skip to comments.Obama offers to help Democrats by not campaigning for them
Posted on 02/07/2014 2:19:25 AM PST by Libloather
WASHINGTON President Obama is offering to help Senate Democrats get re-elected by staying as far away as possible.
The president broached the sensitive topic of his political toxicity in some parts of the nation during a meeting with the Senate Democratic conference Wednesday.
He said he knew he is not popular in some of the states, so he would not be offended if he were not invited to visit them this year, one senator later confided to The Washington Post.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
I wish he would help America by not governing our country.
I see you and raise you one.
I wish he would resign and go back to Kenya where he belongs.
Puts a new light on why Rand Paul has been saying in interviews that Bubba is a sexual predator and should be shunned by Democrats,talk about a war on women,Bill Clinton is a one man assault team,way to go Bubba
You forgot "clean and articulate".
"...he would not be offended if he were not invited..."
He knows he would not be invited anyway
It's very raaaaacist of them to snub Sparky.
That tells you everything you need to know about "O" AND his Presidency!
He's even too toxic for his his own party!
"O" and his administration are like a gigantic indigestible lump that no one can get down!
Guess O heard Dems refer to him as "political poison."
How d'ya like those racist Dems? They'll take Obamas money, yet they dont want to be seen with him on the campaign trail....
Oh well---makes a nice campaign ad for Pubbies......with revolving close-ups of the Dem candidate sucking up to Obama in better times.
Labor union officials say Obama betrayed them in health-care rollout Labor leaders warned that the White Houses continued refusal to help them WRT the ACA is dampening union support for Democratic candidates in 2014 midterm elections.
Leaders of two major unions, including the first to endorse Obama in 2008, said they have been betrayed by administration that wooed their support for the 2009 legislation with promises to later address the peculiar needs of union-negotiated insurance plans that cover millions of workers
After dozens of frustrating meetings with Obama and White House officials, a number of angry labor officials say their members are far less likely to campaign and turn out for Democratic candidates in the midterm elections.
We want to hold the president to his word: If you like your health-care coverage, you can keep it, said Donald D. Taylor, president of the union that provided a crucial boost to Obama by endorsing him just after Hillary Rodham Clinton had won the NH primary.

JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER, UNIONISTS---here's the list of Democrats who promised unions, "you can keep your plan."
As far back as 2008, at the presidential debate in Nashville, Democrat candidate Obama advanced his signature healthcare plan---ultimately enacted, by an historic straight Democrat party-line vote, into the "Affordable Care Act"
QUOTING 2008 OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if youve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All Im going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. Youll still have choice of doctor. Repeated over and over ---- with the promise that every American family would be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.
Significantly, Obamba NEVER corrected lock-stepping Democrats, all reading from the same Democrat talking points, all of them repeating the same Democrat promises---over and over again.
LOCK-STEPPING PARTY LOYALTY NOT SEEN SINCE 1930-40's ERA EUROPE Obama And The Dems marching in lockstep. The persistent Dumbocrat drumbeat ---- in obeisance to Obama ---- kept ringing reassuringly in our ears: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan."
SEN. HARRY REID (D-Nev.): In fact, one of our core principles is that if you like the health care you have, you can keep it. (Sen. Reid, Congressional Record, S.8642, 8/3/09)
SEN. RICHARD DURBIN: We believe and we stand by this if you like your current health insurance plan, you will be able to keep it, plain and simple, straightforward. (Sen. Durbin, Congressional Record, S.6401, 6/10/09)
SEN. CHUCK SCHUMER (D-NY): If you like your insurance, you keep it. (U.S. Senate, Finance Committee, Bill Mark-Up, 9/29/09)

SEN. MAX BAUCUS (D-Mont.): That is why one of the central promises of health care reform has been and is: If you like what you have, you can keep it. That is critically important.

SEN. TOM HARKIN (D-Iowa): One of the things we put in the health care bill when we designed it was the protection for consumers to keep the plan they have if they like it; thus, the term grandfathered plans. If you have a plan you like existing policies you can keep them. we said, if you like a plan, you get to keep it, and you can grandfather it in. (Sen. Harkin, Congressional Record, S.7675-6, 9/29/10)

SEN. MICHAEL BENNET (D-Colo.): We should begin with a basic principle: if you have coverage and you like it, you can keep it. If you have your doctor, and you like him or her, you should be able to keep them as well. We will not take that choice away from you. (Sen. Bennet, Press Release, 6/11/09)
SEN. BARBARA BOXER (D-Calif.): So we Democrats want people to be able to keep the health care they have. And the answer to that is choice of plans. And in the exchange, were going to have lots of different plans, and people will be able to keep the health care coverage they need and they want. (Sen. Boxer, Press Release, 2/8/11)
SEN. SHERROD BROWN (D-Ohio): Our Democrat bill says if you have health insurance and you like it, you can keep it (Sen. Brown, Congressional Record, S.12612, 12/7/09)
SEN. BEN CARDIN (D-Md.): For the people of Maryland, this bill will provide a rational way in which they can maintain their existing coverage (Sen. Cardin, Congressional Record, S.13798, 12/23/09)
SEN. BOB CASEY (D-Pa.): I also believe this Democrat legislation and the bill we are going to send to President Obama this fall will also have secure choices. If you like what you have, you like the plan you have, you can keep it. It is not going to change. (Sen. Casey, Congressional Record, S.8070, 7/24/09)
SEN. KAY HAGAN (D-N.C.): People who have insurance theyre happy with can keep it We need to support the private insurance industry so that people who have insurance theyre happy with can keep it while also providing a backstop option for people without access to affordable coverage.

SEN. BOB MENENDEZ (D-N.J.): If you like what you have, you get to keep it Menendez is a member of the Senate Finance Committee, which is expected to release a bill later this week. He stressed that consumers who are satisfied with their plans wont have to change. If you like what you have, you get to keep it, he said. (Health Care Plan Would Help N.J., Menendez Says, The Record, 6/19/09)
SEN. JEFF MERKLEY (D-Oreg.): [E]nsuring that those who like their insurance get to keep it The HELP Committee bill sets forward a historic Democrat plan that will, for the first time in American history, give every American access to affordable health coverage, reduce costs, and increase choice, while ensuring that those who like their insurance get to keep it. (Sen. Merkley, Press Release, 7/15/09)
SEN. BARBARA MIKULSKI (D-Md.): It means that if you like the insurance you have now, you can keep it. (Sen. Mikulski, Press Release, 12/24/09)

SEN. JEANNE SHAHEEN (D-N.H.): if you have health coverage that you like, you get to keep it My understanding is that if you have health coverage that you like you can keep it. As I said, you may have missed my remarks at the beginning of the call, but one of the things I that I said as a requirement that I have for supporting a Democrat bill is that if you have health coverage that you like you should be able to keep that. under every scenario that Ive seen, if you have health coverage that you like, you get to keep it. (Sen. Shaheen, Health Care Questions From Across New Hampshire, Accessed 11/13/13)
SEN. DEBBIE STABENOW (D-Mich.): As someone who has a large number of large employers in my state, one of the things I appreciate about the Democrat chairmans remark is is the grandfathering provisions, the fact that the people in my state, 60 percent of whom have insurance, are going to be able to keep it. And Mr. Chairman, I appreciate that. Thats a strong commitment. Its clear in the bill I appreciate the strong commitment on your part and the president to make sure that if you have your insurance you can keep it. Thats the bottom line for me. (U.S. Senate, Finance Committee, Bill Mark-Up, 9/24/09)
SEN. JON TESTER (D-Mont.): If you like your coverage, youll be able to keep it, Tester said, adding that if Medicare changes, it will only become stronger. (Tester In Baker To Discuss Health Care, The Fallon County Times, 11/20/09)
SEN. TOM UDALL (D-N.Mex.): Some worried reform would alter their current coverage. It wont. If you like your current plan, you can keep it. (What I Learned: About Health Care Reform This Summer, By Your Lawmakers In Congress, Albuquerque Journal, 9/8/09)
SEN. SHELDON WHITEHOUSE (D-R.I.): ..it honors President Obamas programs and the promise of all of the Presidential candidates that if you like the plan you have, you get to keep it. You are not forced out of anything. (Sen. Whitehouse, Congressional Record, S.8668, 8/3/09)
Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) the 60th vote on Obamacare: "people who are happy with their current plan, wouldn't need to change it."
FRANKEN YOUTUBE SOUND BITE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCZmAYYNz8Ihttp://www.youtube.com/watch?
NOTE Hillary's 2007 campaign website was unearthed by America Rising. America's Rising found written on the website under "HILLARYCARE"---AKA Hillarys American Health Choices Plan---the phrase: if you have a plan you like, you keep it.
VIDEO of Hillary saying, "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan." Nice entertainment for union meetings.
See a smiling Hillary (above) in 2007, saying: You can keep the doctors you know and trust. You keep the insurance you have. If you have private insurance you like, nothing changes, you can keep that insurance.
UT, OH---TROUBLE AHEAD The 2016 Clinton camp has been distancing itself from Obamacare as the problems associated with his failing govt healthcare plan become more apparent to the not-amused American electorate.
With 2016 in mind, Bill Clinton called on Obama to "honor the commitment he made" that people should be able to keep their health care plans.
A top Clinton aide, John Podesta, then took to twitter suggesting a single payer health care system as an alternative to Obamacare....just a coincidence that Podesta has just been hired by Obama.
Tevi Troy, Hudson Institute resident scholar's remarkable prophecy a year and a half before the USSC's decision, after Nov 2010 midterms, in which Democrats in Congress and in state legislatures suffered huge losses.....due to O/Care. In Commentary magazine, Troy wrote: "The Pyrrhic victory Democrats secured for themselves [when Obama signed ACA into law] may prove not to have been a victory at all but rather an ever-roiling, ongoing, and recurring act of political and ideological self-destruction."
Puts a new light on Rand Paul saying that Bubba is a sexual predator and should be shunned by Democrats......
THIS IS THE WOMAN LOCK-STEPPING DEMS WANT AS PRESIDENT Her husband was getting lubed by an intern---and Hillary was stoking her political ambitions by helping to cover-up Bill's predatory activities in the Oval Office.
Hillary took refuge on broadcast TV, doing her "Virgin Mary" act (decked out w/ ropes of virginal pearls) telling Matt Lauer that a "vast-right wing conspiracy" was vilifying her husband.
The Gospel According to Paul
Maureen Dowd OP-ED
EXCERPT With the passage of time and a cascade of fawning magazine covers, (the impeached) Bill Clintons image has evolved, leaving the repellent sexual scandals a pentimento in a new, more magnetic portrait.
Now Paul Rand, the 51-year-old Kentucky ophthalmologist-turned-senator has only been in Congress for three years. But Paul took dead aim at the former president, arguing that Bills legacy is brutified by Monica, when Bill wants his legacy to be ratified by Hillary.
Unruffled by the kerfuffle, Paul reiterated to me that he disdains the Democratic hypocrisy within the party that wants to blame Republicans for somehow not liking women, that somehow were this party that has some kind of war going on, and they have as a leader and one of the most prominent fund-raising people in their party still to this very day, a person who seems in some ways to have his own private war on women.
Paul aimed an asteroid at Planet Hillary on Meet the Press. David Gregory asked Paul about the comment of his wife, Kelley, in a Jason Horowitz profile of the senator in Vogue, that Bill Clinton should not be First Spouse, given his predatory behavior with Monica Lewinsky.
Paul backed up his wife, telling Gregory that there is no excuse for preying on a young intern and that it should affect historys view of the ex-president. While he said it was not Hillarys fault, he added that with the Clintons, sometimes its hard to separate one from the other.
On Fox News, after the State of the Union, Paul injected the word violence into the political bloodstream, noting that the Democratic standard-bearer seems to be a guy that was committing the workplace kind of violence that we should all be opposed to.
THE CLINTON'S CALCULATED END GAME Monica had to be sacrificed for the greater good of the Clintons and feminist ambitions. Hillary was furious at Bill stories were leaked that he was sleeping on the couch but she also had to protect her political investment. If he collapsed, she was done. And she was going up to the Senate and eventually the Oval Office.
HILLARY WAS PART OF THE LEWINSKY COVER-UP It is not so simple for Democrats to cast Hillary as a victim; she was also part of the damage-control team to vouch for her husband and undermine his mistress.
White House aides and other Democrats spread the word that "Monica was a troubled young woman with stalker tendencies." Sidney Blumenthal, a senior White House adviser, later testified that Hillary told him that she was distressed that the president was being attacked, in her view, for political motives, for his ministry of a troubled person.
So the people working to support them don't get to tuck in their kids?
Would be interesting to see if those Dems (and more others) start kneeling and kissing Hillary's ring. Openly.
"Obama offers to help Democrats by not campaigning for them
I wonder how much he'll charge for that "service"?

Didn't see that one coming.
Couldn't stop laughing when I saw this. It's a Family Guy reference, for, ah, reference. Family Guy had one of their random parodies where Peter Griffin was saved by Spider-Man and Spidey tells him everyone gets one. They did the same thing another time with one of Peter's friends being saved by Spidey and Peter saying everyone gets one. Looks like it's come full circle and is now Spidey referencing Family Guy referencing Spidey.
I'm with Johnny Storm. I'd be begging Spidey to let me be his sidekick just for some wingman benefits to all the kinds of women he has around him 24/7.
Looking forward to seeing Mary Jane again.
Wow, I can't believe they made a cover like this, even as a fake. That's awesome.
I have a Spider-Man/Batman comic (with delicious Mark Bagley art) that says otherwise to this!
Atomic Robo: Shadow From Beyond Time #3
I love how they already know Robo has pissed off the rock before asking him.
It's true. There really is only one Atomic Robo in the world.
Avengers: The Initiative #26
Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps #2
Blume, the giant floating space head with a heart of gold that will terrorize your planet and steal all of its wealth.
Considering how many times the Star Sapphire has possessed Carol Ferris, that's the best respone ever.
Dark Wolverine #76
This doesn't look like nearly as much fun as messing with Bullseye last issue. Maybe stick to antagonizing base power level human super heroes.
Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds #5
This would have been a picture perfect ending to the Superboy-Prime saga. Shame they continued with the next moment.
I made my opinion known in the review of this issue, so I'll let everyone else to judge it themselves.
Remember this scene from the Origins & Omens section of Green Lantern #38?
This was the wall on Mordru's former planet, now home to the Black Witch. Torquemada and Alan Scott can be seen imprisoned in the wall. Raven looks to be at the bottom, too. Looks like that above moment will be picked up on by Johns in Adventure Comics with whatever plans he has for the Black Witch.
Green Lantern #44
Good thing Barry Allen is on the scene to point out those bones are missing a skull. Definitely the new World's Greatest Detective. I see why he's in forensic science.
Johns should write a Martian Manhunter: Rebirth or some such. He clearly has no problem writing the character to his potential. People might actually start caring about him if they see how great he can be.
While a great splash page on its own, a little context helps. Barry Allen was beating the crap out of what he thought was Martian Manhunter for a page or two. Turns out it was telepathy and it was actually Hal. J'onn J'onzz is the man. Er, Martian.
Immortal Weapons #1
Not the greatest of origins, but the rest of Fat Cobra's moments will make up it.
Fat Cobra is my new role model.
Truly the hero of the gods.
I wish I had a repertoire of sex moves...
There is not one thing on this page that is not awesome.
Incredible Hulk #600
When did he get heat vision? Wait, I don't want to know.
Red Hulk absorbed all of the Hulk's gamma radiation. Hulk turned into Bruce Banner again and can "never" be Hulk again. Riggghhhttt. Moving on.
Invincible #64
Eve is alive again. And naked. Similar to the X-Force moment below, I find it funny we have so many ways to obscure the nudity, but they have full page spreads of Invincible turning a guy's head into paste and then close ups of the aftermath. Mark spending most of the issue with his femur sticking out of his leg and a mangled hand were also quite disturbing to look at. But no nudity!
Power Girl #3
Fridge jokes. Will they ever not be funny?
X-Force #17
So, ya, Boom-Boom is alive again. If they came back in time, why show her being shot in the head in the first place? I hate time travel. Oh, and it's funny how so many were outraged by her shock death and now no one really cares that she's alive again.
Okay, Wolverine just turned that guy into a smear. Aside from this week's Invincible, that's about the most graphic thing in a mainstream comic I think I've seen in a long time. In contrast, they blurred out an ass shot of Rahne in the same issue. Don't want to corrupt the little children's minds or anything.

Have you noticed how everyone is suddenly #putaneggonit? Eggs on pizza, eggs on sandwiches, eggs on burgers…yum. I even saw someone put an egg on a sweet potato! I am so excited about this trend (full disclosure, runny egg yolks are easily my #1 favorite food in the entire world) and want to help you achieve hashtag greatness (sorry vegan friends)!
Here's a quick lesson on perfectly poached eggs:
You will need:
A medium pot with a few inches of water
White vinegar
One egg, cracked open and placed into a small bowl
A wooden spoon or rubber spatula
A slotted spoon
A small plate, lined with a paper towel
Let's begin:
1. Place the pot over high heat and add a splash of vinegar to the water. When the water starts to boil, reduce the heat to maintain a very gentle simmer, and begin stirring the water with a wooden spoon to create a whirlpool. Gently pour the egg into the center of the whirlpool. If you've never poached an egg before, you're going to feel like you've done something wrong at this point. Some of the egg white will look stringy and won't be wrapped around the yolk yet. It's ok; the whirlpool will help it come together. (If it's really bothering you, you can gently nudge the white into place with your wooden spoon or rubber spatula before it sets).
2. Let the egg simmer 3-5 minutes or until the white is completely set but still somewhat jiggly. Then, scoop the egg out of the water with the slotted spoon and drain it on the plate lined with a paper towel. Yep, it's really that easy!
3. Top something delicious with your poached egg (making it, therefore, doubly delicious) and take a picture!
How will you serve yours?

A 10 minute drive takes you to the casinos, shopping, beautiful Lakeshore Beach and hiking trails. Onsite condo managers help to ensure a well maintained complex and clubhouse featuring: ping-pong pool table, workout area, indoor men's and woman's dry sauna, outdoor pool and hot tub. During the winter months there is no need to dig out your car, with the covered parking and now plow service.
We had a wonderful time in your cozy and comfortable condo. It is so quiet there, next to the National Forest and yet close to town! We like being able to step out your door and walk into the woods. And the gym, Jacuzzi, and pool are wonderful for such a small complex! Your place is a great value! We hope to make it back soon!
We enjoyed our stay at this Condo during our visit to Lake Tahoe. Clean rooms, plenty of space and well-furnished for a family of 6. Very close to the beach and restaurants. Carport, high-speed internet, Washer & Dryer was an addition. Clear instructions from property owner was also helpful. We plan to book it again in the future.
We just returned from our stay at this wonderful condo. The host Cynthia was great from the get-go and was able to switch dates so that her unit was available on my 50th bday weekend. The unit is well-appointed and comfortable for our group of two adults, one senior and three kids. I think this condo is perfect for its location, great for families and affordable. We truly felt at home in this unit and will most definitely be returning again. My family loved it, and thank you, Cynthia, for being a super-hostess!
Perfect for a little weekend getaway!!
I was staying in this condo for the Labor Day weekend. We really enjoyed the condo location and the price wasn't too bad. The amenities in the condo were pretty good too - swimming pool, jacuzzi, BBQ grill next to the pool, common area with a ping pong table.
However, the furniture and electronics inside were less than ideal. Most of the things inside are pretty old (e.g., a lock on a bathroom door upstairs was broken and kept on falling off). Also, all the TVs inside are really old - CRT tvs with no HDMI inputs. So, we couldn't use our firestick or laptop to play a movie. At least two of the beds - one unfolding couch and one bed upstairs had really uncomfortable mattresses.
Overall, I'd say it is a good place if some remodeling is done on the place.
This was my first time stay in vacation rental in South Ake Tahoe and it couldn't have been better. Considering this time I had my parents (specially my father who had hit 80 this December ) with us with two bouncy kids, I was searching for a place which where it was warm, cozy but can still enjoy the snowy winter in Tahoe and this condo was the perfect spot.
Cynthia responded to my query swiftly and followed up with a quick phone call giving all necessary details. Not only she offered to wait for a day before I can confirm, bout also price matched - that too during peak holiday season.
Regarding the condo, it's an excellent location, very close by the Great spots, restaurants and less than a mile off the Lake Tahoe blvd. The best thing you can find is the covered parking spot, specially when it's snowing heavily outside.
The condo was clean and it's very well resourced. The fireplace in the living keeps it really cozy with wall heaters in each bedroom.
You can find more than enough pans and pots to make any kind of meal you wish. The two bedrooms are on second floor with each having a small TV ( the televisions are little dated, but hey who has the energy left to watch tv after days outside dun in Tahoe). The living has a sofa bed , so you can easily have 6 folks sleep in the condo.
They also have lots of games to keep kids and adults too busy alike if you need to kill time inside.
Since the location is at elevation, as soon as you get out of the condo complex, you get a great view of the lake. But if you are visiting during snow days, make sure to have a 4wd or snow chains as it accumulates lot of snow inside the condo complex, so you may need some traction before you can reach the covered spot.
And lastly, Cynthia is great as she asked multiple times if we needed anything to make our stay comfortable ( though it was hardly anything that we needed, as the condo itself is well resourced ) and she promptly returned the security deposit the next day we checked out. Overall a five star experience and good memories with my family. Will stay again and reccomand to anyone looking for vacation home in SLT.
My wife and I went to South Lake Tahoe for our first time this past Labor Day Weekend. We booked this place and it was great, really clean and has a lot of space. It is in a great location for the downtown and close to the beach. The complimentary beach access pass was amazing to have, because we would have to pay money to go to the beach. We were able to enjoy most of our time at the beach and even watch the Labor Day firework show that evening over the water. During winter it is extremely close to the ski runs. The owners are fantastic and easy to communicate with. We would definitely come back in the future.

Star Wars: Battlefront, a game developed by EA, came out in 2015 and became an undeniable financial success, with more than 13 million copies sold worldwide. The game was the latest entry in the beloved Battlefront franchise and had, therefore, been a highly anticipated piece of entertainment among Star Wars fans.
Despite this, however, it has received a lukewarm reception from players around the world, with the main points of the game's criticism being the lack of both single and multiplayer content and its sole focus on the original Star Wars trilogy.
Now, it seems those concerns won't be a problem anymore. Ahead of E3 2016, EA hosted an event in Los Angeles. It consisted of a press conference and a space known as the EA Play Show for announcements of upcoming EA projects.
During that event, Star Wars: Battlefront 2 was officially announced by EA Games. Jade Raymond, founder of Ubisoft Toronto, had this to say:
"Next year, you'll get a new installment of 'Star Wars: Battlefront,' and we're listening to the fans and will add new content including content from the new films."
Could this "new content" encompass not only The Force Awakens but Rogue One: A Star Wars Story as well?
One thing's for sure: We don't have more information on the video game sequel. But if you're like me, you are probably in a fetal position on the floor waiting for more details. So to hold us over until further details are revealed, here is a video with a look ahead at what's in store for us from the video game world of the galaxy far, far away:
What do you think?

Let's have a meet up!
Hong Kong Travel Blog› entry 8 of 10 › view all entries
May 1st, 2010 – by: Kurisu
While I was in Singapore, Hong Kong TB Zoe found a nice place for our meetup and made a reservation.
It's a neat chinese restaurant on Staunton St. in SoHo. As it isn't located near any MTR station, I checked out the place in the morning before the meetup to make sure I'll find my way in the evening to safely lead my fellow TBs to that place.
If you know your way, it's not so hard to find: Get out at MTR Central Exit C, turn left, walk towards Midlevel escalators, take escalator up to Staunton St., get off, and then walk about 200m to your right.
We were aiming to have about 10 people attending the meetup today.
After meeting at MTR Central Exit C we headed to the restaurant using the Midlevel escalators, which took us about 20 minutes.
The Double Happiness is a nice little restaurant, with room for about 20 persons. We had some yummy chinese food and enjoyed ourselves very much! The woman in charge attended us courteously. Really nice experience! :-)
After dinner we walked back to central to have some drinks in LKF. Scott, who just arrived today from the UK and probably still fighting the jetlag, took a leave and went back to his hostel. The rest of us went for drinks to a bar in LKF, which name I don't remember. Sadly, TB Zoe who had to work to 8pm couldn't attend us later that evening. Zoe, thank you so much for checking out and booking that lovely restaurant! :-)
We had big fun that evening! Thanks again guys for showing up at the meet up! Hope to see you again in the future.

The ankle foot orthosis is a new development in the medical field to safeguard the ankle joint from getting further damage. The major objective of ankle foot orthosis is to protect the ankle joint by keeping it in proper position. This is mainly manufactured for helping the people who are having weak ankle joint or got any problem with the ankle joint.
Basically the ankle foot orthosis is made up of silicon plastic which creates total contact with the ankle joint starting from the lower limb till the foot area covering the ankle joint.
In simple terms, this is basically a plastic brace which is worn on the lower leg and foot so that the ankle joint can be supported and protected.
This helps in holding the foot and ankle in the correct position. It is some times also called as foot drop brace and is abbreviated as AFO.
After proper incorporation of the silicon ankle foot orthosis the person can feel a tight grip holding down the anterior surface of the leg which passes further down to the dorsum of the foot. Thereby it helps in lifting the foot from above instead of pushing it from underneath which the traditional orthosis will do.
The conditions in which the ankle foot orthosis or simply orthotics is highly indicated and even recommended by most of the orthopedics are as follows:
- Poliomyelitis,
- Sciatic nerve compression or trauma,
- Peroneal nerve compression or trauma,
- Peripheral neuritis or neuropathies,
- Spinal injuries mainly in case of incomplete spinal injuries,
- Hemiplegia,
- Diplegia,
- Paraplegia,
- Stroke,
- Multiple sclerosis,
- Ankle joint ligament injury,
- Severe form of Achilles tendonitis,
- A severe form of calcaneal spurs, etc.
Major Benefits and Purpose of Using Ankle Foot Orthosis
After using ankle foot orthosis most of the people commented that it suits best for them and it also helped a lot in reducing their problems. Basically the ankle foot orthosis helps in the following ways:
- It helps in replication and restoration of the normal and natural foot movements and action
- It supports the ankle joint and gives good alignment
- Along with proper assistive and resistive movements, the ankle foot orthosis helps in reducing the spasticity of the ankle joint and foot mainly in cases of paralysis conditions.
- Wearing the ankle foot orthosis for foot drop helps in reducing the pressure sores mainly in case of paraplegia and stroke patients where certain parts of the foot will be having pressure areas
- The ankle foot orthosis fits tightly with the leg and thus you can easily use it along with your regular foot wear. For the people who don't want to use both ankle foot orthosis and footwear together can only wear the orthosis.
- The knee ankle foot orthosis is manufactured with long lasting silicon material and thus it is very easy to maintain
- You can wear the ankle foot orthosis even during your regular activities like showering, bathing, swimming, etc. It won't create any problem like damage or tearing of the orthosis.
- Ankle foot orthosis's cost is very low and thus it is an easily affordable material which anyone can easily purchase and make use of it effectively.
Based on the material used and requirement of the people, there can be many ankle foot orthosis types. In case of any assistance about which one suits you best, you can get suggestion from a good orthopedician or general physician for using the ankle foot orthosis.

The city of Ocala soon will begin beautification projects along a section of Osceola Avenue as part of the downtown linear park project.
The city of Ocala soon will begin beautification projects along a section of Osceola Avenue as part of the downtown linear park project.
The City Council approved going forward with Phase 3a of the project, which includes improvements to Osceola Avenue between Northeast Third Street and Northeast Fifth Street as well as closing that portion of the one-lane roadway to vehicular traffic.
"It's a little portion behind Seminole Feed," said Elizabeth Houck, the city's landscape architect and project manager.
Houck said the work is expected to begin in October and the road will be closed permanently in January.
Phase 3a includes closing access to Osceola Avenue from the Kirk property at 416 NE Osceola Ave. and creating a new driveway to access the property from Northeast Fifth Street. In addition, a decorative fence will be installed along the property's eastern boundary and electric conduit will be added.
Phase 3a also includes installing a decorative fence with a 2-foot gravity wall and electric conduit along Osceola Avenue on the east side of the L and L property at 343 NE First Ave.
"Public Works (Department) is going to do much of it," said Catherine Cameron, assistant city manager of public services. "These are just initial improvements, some minor things that need to be done before we go in and do the rest of it."
The cost of this preparatory work on Phase 3a is $60,000.
"We are getting prepared for when we can continue finishing the whole linear park," Houck said.
The linear park project is intended to link Southeast Third Street to Northeast Fifth Street along Osceola Avenue. When the project is completed, that stretch of Osceola Avenue will be closed to vehicular traffic. The corridor is being designed to encourage people to walk between Citizens' Circle on the south side of Silver Springs Boulevard to the Tuscawilla Park area on the north side of Silver Springs Boulevard.
Phase 1, which involved realigning the traffic pattern to and from the electric utility's drive-thru window, is finished.
The city permanently closed Osceola Avenue between Southeast Third Street and Fort King Street to traffic when Citizens' Circle at City Hall was completed.
Phases 2 and 3 of the linear park project have not begun yet. Those phases involve realigning the railroad tracks to the center of the roadway. That will allow pedestrians to walk down one side of the tracks, which will have shade trees, decorative paving, lighting and drinking fountains along the way. The other side of the tracks will be used for bicycles, skaters and the like, Houck said. There will be barriers between the tracks and the paths to protect the public.
"We are waiting for the federal Railroad Administration to finish going over the initial paperwork," Houck said. "It looks like it could be possible we could get some kind of agreement by December or January 2014."
She said there is money in the fiscal year 2013-14 budget, which begins Oct. 1.
Phase 2 will run from Southeast Third Street to Silver Springs Boulevard. Phase 3 will run from Silver Springs Boulevard to Northeast Third Street.
Houck said the city's engineering department currently is looking into options on how best to cross Silver Springs Boulevard, which is a state road.

Producers formulated the series to meet the needs of health-conscious consumers. Developed through years of combined research and experience, the series will offer a wealth of information about the evolution, accomplishments, and opportunities in modern medicine. Topics will include:
⢠Wellness: Living a full and active life while successfully managing chronic illnesses like diabetes and arthritis. ⢠The proliferation of nutritional supplements: Which ones do you really need? Which ones can actually do you more harm than good? ⢠Exercise: Fun ways seniors can maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. ⢠Alternative Medicine: Environmentally-friendly and cost-effective health-care solutions. ⢠Long-Term/Home Health Care: Rehabilitation, long-term care, and alleviating stress for patients and their caregivers. ⢠Eating Healthier: Learn about the latest breakthroughs; discover foods that help fight disease. ⢠Hormonal treatments: Pros and cons, what's safe and what causes side effects, and how to decide whether one should consider these at all.
As the powerful Positive Aging series takes off, Inside Business Report producers would like to thank their distinguished distribution partners including The Obesity Society, The Food Institute and The American Learning Center.

Fedora Framebuffer Troubles
So, here's my problem. I want to create two ways of using my FC5 laptop.
A) Traditional, boot into Gnome, work in desktop.
B) Fast, when I need to do something particular, and quickly.
My idea is to find console versions of as many gui apps as I can, and I would love two programs in particular - mplayer and fbi. MPlayer we all know and love, and fbi is a framebuffer image viewer.
The trouble is, I can't seem to detect that I even have a framebuffer. Mplayer complains "Error opening/initializing selected video_out (-vo) device" when I give it "mplayer -vo fb movie.mpg". fbi complains with a comment about not finding /dev/fb0.
Checking in /dev I find no fb0 nor fb(any number). Googling leads me to believe that framebuffers may be influenced by how you configure your kernel, but I have not had much sucess using non-Fedora kernels.
What do I need to do to use the framebuffer? What else do you need to know?
perhaps I should add that I am using an ATI raedon card in said computer, but I'm not using their drivers, because I'm using Fedora 5 x86_64, and they don't offer 64 bit drivers. Could this cause it? I suppose the framebuffer must work, because I have full graphical boot, I just can't seem to make it accessible to my applications.
I was coincidentally looking around my sysconfig due to another problem and noticed that the atiraedon framebuffer driver was blacklisted. Could this cause the problem? I'll try un-blacklisting it.
Alas, unblacklisting and modprobing does not work. Nor does unblacklisting and rebooting to let udev catch it. Hrm.
Update: no change to the problem, except that I have gotten ATI drivers, so it can't be that.

De Havilland DH82A Tiger Moth, G-AYDI, 7 April 2013

De Havilland DH82A Tiger Moth, G-AYDI
The pilot was landing the aircraft on grass Runway 23 in good weather, with the surface wind reported as being variable at 0-10 kt. He had flown a straight-in approach, in apparently calm conditions, rather than joining overhead. As he flared the aircraft prior to touchdown, a gust of wind from the south caused the right wing to drop and strike the surface. The aircraft yawed to the right, rocked back onto its left wing, which also struck the ground, and left the runway to the right before coming to a halt.
The pilot had not anticipated the possibility of a crosswind. Had he done so, he would have used a "wheeler" landing technique.

text: Hello, Getting very interesting here in the NJ, and guess I should say all of the NE. At this point, it looks as if we are only a few months or weeks, if not days, from getting the official 'drought emergency' classification in our area. With this classification, the NJDEP begins to impose strong restrictions on newly installed plantings and lawn/sod installations. Already hearing rumors of nurseries NOT ordering the quantities of plants that they normally do, and it seems with the long term outlook, the drought is not going to change........at this point, the only thing that could make a drastic change is a natural disaster such as a hurricane, monsoon, tidal wave (you never now!) or other miraculous acts of god. My question is what kind of effect is this going to have? One discussion I've had with a few people is that it may be a good 'bad' thing for the industry. Between the weakened economy and a strong drought, its very clear now that contractors are going to have to really have to have their acts together this year......or in other words, all of these 'dime a dozen' companies out there are going to be out of business before the end of April. We all talk about how to get rid of all these fly by nighters, and well, it appears that nature may take care of it for us. Maybe a good thing? On another note, this is a time where contractors really need to start communicating with each other. In NJ, the dollars generated from the green business is near 1 billion in total. That's a lot of money. Currently, the water restrictions in NJ are very out dated......in other words, the green industry gets completely screwed, and along with it, takes a large hunk of the economy with it. A situation that in the long run, will not only hurt us, but everyone else in its aftermath. A point though that politicians and lawmakers have trouble seeing. I've never been involved in many organizations before, but I think the time has come for me to get involved. The NJNLA is strongly pushing for changes in the current legislation to change the current laws that will strangle our industry should the predicted drought fall upon us. I've developed a lot of friends in this industry over the past few years, and honestly, I worry about them as much as myself. Many are already planning for the worse, but in a disaster situation such as this, even the best planning can fall short. I'm starting to view this drought as possibley a 'necessary evil'. Maybe in the middle of its wrath, contractors will begin to work together, and those who don't, ........well........, they will vanish. Just a few thoughts. steve

He's come to kill me.
I'm a user and abuser of my own body. In the darkest hour I sold my soul to the devil and now I must pay the price. With his gun to my head I have no choice but to listen and obey, but I refuse to go down easily. Nothing is stronger than the will to survive. My instincts kicked into full gear the second he stepped into my motel room.
Except when I look at him I see my own heart staring back at me. A history tainted by blood.
I don't know his name, but I know he wants me. To save myself I'll sacrifice my sanity. My body. My soul. Something tells me the x-shaped scar that marks his eye is the only escape I have. He is Mr. X; the man who comes to claim my life. Can I save myself before he demands my heart?

"Monsters are Real."
First, I've just gotta say... WOW!!!!! Mr X is without a doubt my favorite audio book to date.
Eroticism at an extremely dark level.
I like the open ending where you can imagine what they each decide what to do.
This is the first time I've had the pleasure.
They made him a monster and left him to die..... soon they will all wish that he did....
Especially Her...........
The depravity, cruelty and sadistic abuse throughout this story had me constantly changing my mind about Mr X. He is decidedly dark, dangerous and wicked but oh my God he is so freaking delicious and decadent......
"No Parent of the Year Awards Here"
This is a dark story. Very explicit descriptions of violence and the S&M of BDSM. The story moves between present and past as it unfolds and draws you in from the beginning to the point of not being able to miss a single word.
I hung on every word and if I had an interruption I would rewind. For a 9.5 hour book to keep me interested...the story has to move at a steady pace, no filler, no irritating inner dialogue (or not much). Clarissa Wild delivered for me.
I'm not giving away any spoilers but I will tell you that X is in the family business of assassins and Jay is the daughter of a political family. The two families have a business arrangement, seduction takes place, disfigurement of X happens, X blames Jay for his disfigurement and seeks revenge. I can't think of a bad enough word or phrase to describe the parents of X and Jay.
Paul Brion gave a fabulous performance (narration) of this book. I loved the fact the he used a lower tone for Jay instead of trying to create a female voice.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes dark romances, mystery, suspense. Some people would say this isn't a romance book but dark romances are warped as is this one.
Absolutely worth the Credit and I will listen to this book over and over.
"Wow! Just Wow!"
Such a dark story. Not at all what I expected. Monster turned human? Emotionless to love? Games, killing, hits, survival, death, freedom. X and J are both very damaged and bent on furthering damaging each other. Somehow in the process the save each other. Who is the root of the problem? Can you guess? The last few chapters took my breath away, a sense of panic filling me. Why? Love where love shouldn't be. Freedom.
This was my first Clarissa Wild book and listening to it in Audio added to the tension and mystery, fear and a sliver of hope. I loved it!
"Great Story!!!"
Paul was great as the male part but would have been even better with a female added. But I loved it anyway.
"I'm addicted."
There is no other words for it. I am addicted to audiobooks of Clarissa Wild's work. I believe I have most if not all of them. Do yourself a favor if you have not picked them up and love dark and dirty romance... do it now.
"Freedom At What Price"
I felt like I needed and eXorcism after listening to this book -- whew! Good story, so many bad people, sex that may or may not have been consensual with some BDSM, and a whole lot of killing and blood. Even with all the darkness, this story kept me captivated. There were a couple of times where the story dragged a little but overall it kept me interested in listening to the end. This is my first book by Clarissa Wild and I'm sure it won't be my last. Paul Brion did an okay job as the narrator for Mr. X and the other male characters but there was no differentiation for Jay's character so I had to really pay attention to know when she was speaking.
"Love for Mr. X!"
Fierce, Hot Hitman
This is another winner by author Clarissa Wild. I love her books! Mr. X is intimidating and no-nonsense, yet you can't help but see something good in him. He'd scare the living daylights out of me!
"Dark S/M and Little Confusing in the Beginning"
4.5 Stars - It was a good dark read, but not SO good that I'd listen to it more than once. It's credit worthy. It was confusing at first. The book is similar to "King" by T.M. Frazier; it has the same plot. Girl wakes up in the hospital with no memory of the abuse from her dad who's campaigning for governor. For those who have read the book "King" the only difference is the hero / lover is a hit man instead of a biker & the heroine' s abuser is her father instead of an ex boyfriend. Overall it's still a good read.
This is a dark S/M read (Not as dark as Pepper Winters books) but you'll need to listen to it with an open mind. Could be offensive to those who are sensitive to sadism & degradation.
"I enjoyed listening to this book!"
My favorite audiobook
To me this whole story is captivating. I enjoyed reading it and now listening to it again was even better. I think this would be an outstanding movie.
This is my first audiobook with Paul narrating but I think he did a wonderful job. I enjoyed listening to him read to me.
I have never thought of this so as of right now I don't have anything.
Mr X is a splendid read. I highly recommend it.
"Better than 50 Shades of Gray..."
People whose are comfortable with sex scenes featuring humiliation, breath-play, biting and hitting hard enough to draw blood, and death threats. Granted, both characters are deeply damaged. The eventual explanations for their flaws are fairly reasonable, and by the end I wanted them to be together. I expected mystery, suspense, and kinky romance. The book delivers that, but the "romance" was too hateful and abusive for my tastes.
Maybe, if I were sure the "romance" wouldn't have so much mutual hatred.
It was okay, just not convincing. Some of the heroine's more peevish lines were like fingernails on a chalkboard.
For all the flaws, this author is much better at her craft than E. L. James. The plot and sub-plots, characters, and dialogue were better than 50 Shades. Furthermore, I'm pretty sure Ms. Wild didn't steal her characters from a YA vampire romance, so kudos for originality!

Sustainability Is a Growing Theme
Corporations Work With Schools to Train Potential Employees, but Jobs Are Scarce
For years, companies have suggested changes to bread-and-butter business school courses.
But recently, firms have begun to try to make their mark on another subject: social responsibility and sustainability.
Some companies are taking a hands-on approach to help train potential employees, using real projects in an effort to help students...

Re: Lydia Ann (Jewell?) Tate Brookbank b. ca 1822 d. aft 1870 Vigo Co, IN?
In reply to:
Re: Lydia Ann (Jewell?) Tate Brookbank b. ca 1822 d. aft 1870 Vigo Co, IN?
Don Sturm 8/16/05
Hi Don,
As I mentioned in my previous post, Lydia Ann (Jewell) and husband Josiah H Tate were on the 1860 census of Terre Haute, Vigo Co, Indiana with their 7 children, the oldest being William T Tate at 19 which would put a marriage date of about 1841 for Lydia Ann Jewell to Josiah H Tate.
Evidently Josiah H Tate died sometime before 1863 as there is a marriage record in Vigo Co, Indiana for Lydia to Thomas Brookbank on 2 Apr 1863.
On the 1870 census for Thomas Brookbank in Honey Creek Twp, Vigo Co, Indiana it lists his wife Lidda A Brookbank 48 b. KY and the rest as follows:
Margaret A Brookbank 19 Indiana - (my husband's great grandmother)
Samantha Brookbank 16 Indiana
Nancy J Brookbank 6 Indiana
Mary Tate 15 Indiana
Robert F Tate 10 Indiana
So Lydia Ann Jewell's marriage to Josiah H Tate was previous to her 2nd marriage to Thomas Brookbank in 1863.
Am seeking the marriage date and place of Lydia Ann to Josiah H - ca 1840-41 Indiana.

Use DLookup
Something like that
yourTextBox= DLookup("Fault_Code", "Fault", "[Fault_Number] = 100")
Will pull the fault_code for the Fault_Number 100 (taking into consideration that it is numeric) from the table Fault...

1. Make two lists, one for your wants and one for your needs
2. Dream big on your lists, go from small purchases to grand ones. If a new car is one of your wants write it down. Seeing your wants and needs on paper keeps a reminder of what you really want
3. Only buy one item from either list per shopping trip, but make a goal to complete your needs list before you start purchasing from your wants list
4. Say NO to your visa! Only make a purchase off your list if you have excess money to purchase them with
5. Stay clear of shopping until you have the money saved
6. If you go shopping to help a friend find something constantly remind yourself that you are looking for your friends needs and not your own. Don't even look for yourself it will just lead to excess purchases because you see something new or find a sale.
7. A sale is only good if it is on the items you want or need. Sales are easy ways to find yourself buying things you do not necessarily need but buy because it is a deal. But is it a deal if you did not know you wanted it or needed it before you walked in the store? No! It is not.
8. All sale items purchased that are not on your list of needs and wants only hinder the length of time it takes you to save up for the items on your wants and needs list.
9. When you've saved up the money to purchase an item off your lists bring a friend shopping with you. They will keep you in check with purchasing the right brand. Sometimes spending more money means the item will last longer, sometimes it does not. A friend will help you organize your thoughts as to which brand to buy.
10. Remember to have patience. The best things in life are worth the wait, and nothing feels better than buying what you want or need straight up and not having to feel the effects on your Visa at the end of the month.

Selling candy may not seem like a risk, but the sisters who started Truly Scrumptious Candies and Confections had a lot to lose when they started the business.
Linda McAdams, 50, was in need of work when she asked her sister, Karen Daigle, 60, to dive into a new venture making Pretzel Crunch, a sweet and salty snack that friends and family raved about for years.
"Maybe we just need to take this leap of faith," McAdams said at the time. "Maybe that's what God has in mind."
Two flavors of Pretzel Crunch — White Chocolate and Cranberry Almond — took off quickly last summer, hitting Baton Rouge-area store shelves within two months of starting production at the LSU AgCenter Food Incubator.
Now the pair is looking to expand.
"We want to conquer Baton Rouge," McAdams said. "This general area. This is where we live. This is our home. We want Pretzel Crunch to be a household name, and then we can start moving from there."
While the sisters knew people loved their product, turning it into a profitable business would be a challenge.
When McAdams and Daigle were single in New Orleans in the 1980s, they started the business, making candies on the side. They never made much money, selling to family, friends and co-workers, but they loved creating treats.
They eventually quit because they had too little time.
"We didn't have a life," McAdams said. "We worked and did this on the side."
In October 2013, both married and living in the Baton Rouge area, they decided to resurrect the small business.
Earlier that year, McAdams lost her job in the communications industry. She interviewed for a few positions and was rejected.
"I came home and said to my husband, 'Do I have that little value that nobody wants to hire me to do anything?' " she said.
With her husband, James McAdams, 53, out of work after his job moved to Texas, she decided to hire herself.
"We keep hearing this phrase 'leap of faith.' And three or four people who didn't know each other kept talking about their own leap of faith. Within a week's time, I heard it like three or four times," McAdams said.
McAdams called her sister and told her she wanted to revive their candy business, but make it a serious, "full-blown" enterprise.
Daigle, who decorates cakes full time, didn't have a lot of spare time, but she was excited by the new opportunity.
They started off just selling their product through word of mouth and hawking it at festivals and craft shows. Then they learned about the LSU AgCenter's Food Incubator and joined in the summer. Through the program, they were able to get help with all the regulations and official paperwork as well as shelf-life testing.
"It opened a tremendous amount of doors for us," McAdams said.
For LSU football season, they introduced Tiger, a purple-and-gold-colored version of their White Chocolate Pretzel Crunch. It became a bestseller.
"We would be silly not to capitalize on it, being in Tiger land," Daigle said.
The sisters, along with McAdams' husband, regularly reach out to customers via social media and hand out samples of their products at stores.
They wear T-shirts with the Pretzel Crunch slogan: Sweet, Salty and Sinful.

What Wal-Mart's $21 Billion Wipeout Really Tells You
No doubt you've heard about Wal-Mart's $21 billion wipeout this past Wednesday following revelations from senior management that the company may suffer a 6% – 12% drop in earnings in 2017.
The headlines were certainly hard to miss:
…Wal-Mart Surprises Market With Dim Outlook – The Wall Street Journal
…Wal-Mart Stock Hammered as Profit Warning Triggers Price War Fears – NBC.com
…Wal-Mart Shares Tank on Lower Earnings Forecast – USA Today
…Wal-Mart may need a decade to get its 'mojo' back – MarketWatch
Investors may as well be listening to an old Charlie Brown cartoon…wha wha wha.
The actual story here and the one you need to focus on has nothing to do with the company itself but everything to do with a fundamental change in market conditions.
My job is to make sure you and your money come out on the right side of the equation. That way you're not going to get caught by surprise like millions of investors who will not connect the dots I'm about to share with you.
So let's get cracking!
Here's what traders are telling you about today's markets.
Wal-Mart's Double-Digit Dive Reflects a New Market Era
Conventional wisdom would have you believe that Wal-Mart is a unique situation and that the lowered expectations are about everything from compressed margins to the fact that Amazon is eating Wal-Mart's lunch. And, for once, it's correct. Those things are all true.
But I wouldn't go so far as to call Wal-Mart a buying opportunity like many analysts including Morningstar's Ken Perkins, who noted that the selloff is an "overreaction and a buying opportunity."
That's because the real story isn't about Wal-Mart but about a much broader change in market tenor that dramatically increases risks for the unsuspecting and the complacent.
Let me explain.
There's been a meme since the Financial Crisis began – what's bad is good and what's good is bad. Chances are you've seen me talk about this many times during major network appearances on Fox, CNBC, and other networks. We've also discussed it quite a bit here.
If not, the expression is an ode implying that any bit of bad news is actually good. The thinking is that bad data means further Fed involvement in the markets and lower interest rates.
That's why the markets have moved higher since 2009 on bad jobs data, terrible consumer confidence figures, and falling earnings. That's also why the markets have tanked on even the smallest bits of good news, a signal that traders believed would hasten the Fed's exit.
But now that the Fed has taken a "damn the torpedoes" approach to raising rates, the markets have begun to recognize that bad news is actually bad news – not the good news it was as recently as a few months ago. So they've rolled over.
And that, in turn, brings the focus squarely back to earnings, or in this case, earnings potential at a time when earnings are being revised lower faster than Tom Brady allegedly deflated his footballs.
This season, for example, the S&P 500 is expected to report an average year-over year earnings decline of -5.5% for Q3 according to FactSet.
That's what makes this so dangerous. It's not just Wal-Mart. There is a much broader swath of corporate America at risk here. Wal-Mart just happens to be the one with the guts to speak clearly about the challenges it's facing.
Here's the thing.
When S&P 500 companies report earnings that are above earnings estimates, the overall growth rate goes up because actual earnings numbers replaced lower estimated numbers over time. That, in turn, attracts more capital.
But the converse is true, too. Talking negatively about earnings will in advance makes the effect even more pronounced. So when reported declines hit, they negatively impact actual growth rates which, as you can see below, are already decelerating sharply.
As an aside, I honestly don't know why this was such a surprise to Wall Street. We've been talking about this since last December and preparing accordingly. But that's a story for another time.
What you need to keep top of mind is something everybody else seems to be forgetting.
Earnings – above all else – are the single strongest predictor of stock prices over time. If there's a decline in the works as would appear to be the case, it will be the first back to back series of earnings declines since 2009.
The fact that Wal-Mart is talking about 2017 implies another 4-6 quarters of negative growth ahead. That's significant because only two quarters of falling GDP are required for a recession.
That's really what unhinged traders.
Profit growth has never been this weak except in a recession. And that, in turn, means any company – not just Wal-Mart – that misses earnings or lowers expectations is at risk of a similar shellacking in the weeks ahead.
The other thing to keep in mind is that investors who have historically paid up for value over the past 50 years have been paying up for growth in recent years. The fact that they clobbered a long-venerated name like Wal-Mart based on nothing more than expectations more than a year in advance suggests a rising level of desperation, not stability.
So, once again, traders and millions of unsuspecting investors are chasing the illusion of prosperity.
Case in point, Amazon's fiscal 2016 earnings are expected to grow by 211% on growth of nearly 20% according to S&P Capital IQ. Wal-Mart's are going to fall by 6%-12% at a time when revenue has flattened. That means Amazon is more "valuable" than Wal-Mart even though the former has only 1/4 the revenue. The irony, of course, is striking; Amazon is perennially unprofitable or just barely profitable.
It makes me wonder if Wal-Mart is going to be more like Twitter than Target, at least in terms of its stock price anyway. Or, for that matter, like Zoe's, Shake Shack, CenturyLink, BlackBerry or any of dozens of companies we've identified at risk of flameout.
You may think that's a stretch and I respect your opinion. Sam Walton is a business icon and Wal-Mart is as American as apple pie, baseball, and big discounts. It's very hard to comprehend a company like Wal-Mart going into the dumper.
But then again, people thought the same thing about once great chains that are now a fraction of what they used to be including: Sears, JC Penny, Macys, Montgomery Ward and Kmart, for example.
Companies that base their profits on unsustainable price and cost strategies will eventually pay a terrible price. Put bluntly, you can't over-earn for long because eventually expectations catch up with reality.
There are a few key takeaways here.
- More than 100 million Americans shop at Wal-Mart weekly, so the dramatic drop in earnings projections tells me that the middle class is in more trouble than previously acknowledged and that the recovery Washington thinks is moving along is actually shifting into reverse.
- People have almost completely overlooked the fact that Wal-Mart's CFO, Charles Holley, specifically called out the $1.5 billion being spent on increased wages and training as a causal factor in his remarks. That's proof positive that the increased wages everybody's been screaming about in politically charged circles do have a very real effect on bottom line earnings. Further, that it's not good. I pointed this out to you in last June while describing the most pressing reason yet to avoid retail stocks.
- Traders are calling the Fed's bluff while at the same time meting out severe punishment for any company that dares to go against the officially accepted party line and declare the "Emperor has no clothes" as Wal-Mart has effectively done here. This signals a shift to more speculative trading and even higher volatility ahead as traders are forced to chase increasingly risky returns. The "must-haves" we talk about repeatedly are going to be your security blanket because of the inherent stability they offer.
- Any business that fails to acknowledge the disruptive power of competing technologies, specifically as they relate to e-commerce, will lose its cost advantage and may never recover. Instead of dominating the industries they created, they will turn into followers and, if they're lucky, survivors. Many will go out of business or suffer a Blackberry-like fate as customers "pull" from their favorite retailers rather than accept what's "pushed" upon them by traditional retailers.
Wal-Mart proponents will no doubt offer plenty of resistance.
The "hit" will be worth it, they'll say. The investments in people and technology will pay off eventually, they counter.
If you're tempted to buy, ask yourself if you have a decade or more to wait for that to happen.
That's how long it's taken Kroger and CostCo to recover from similar resets.
Until next time,
