The Coca-Cola Company manufactures, distributes, and markets nonalcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups worldwide. The company is member of the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrials and the S&P Dividend Aristocrats indexes. Coca-Cola has paid uninterrupted dividends on its common stock since 1893 and increased payments to common shareholders every year for 48 years. One of the largest holders of Coca-Cola stock is no other than the Oracle Warren Buffett, who is the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A;BRK.B) and one of the best investors in the world.
Over the past decade this dividend stock has delivered an average total return of 3.60% to its shareholders. The stock has largely traded between $65 and $40 over the past decade.
The company has managed to deliver a 14.30% average annual increase in its EPS over the past decade. Analysts are expecting an increase in EPS to $3.45 for 2010 and $3.76 by 2011. This would be a nice increase from the 2009 earnings per share of $2.93. Future drivers for earnings could be the company's tea, coffee and water operations. Cost savings initiatives could also add to the bottom line over time, as well as increases in volumes in emerging markets such as China.
The acquisition of Vitaminwater in 2007 has increased growth in the company's non-soda business, which is where Coke lags behind PepsiCo. The acquisition of CCE's North American bottling business, should bring in sufficient cost savings for the company's North American supply chain, which would result in increase in cash flows. The deal is expected to deliver approximately $350 million dollars in cost savings over the first four years of implementation. In addition to that, it will bring more control over North American operations, deliver more flexibility in the company's strategy implementation and reduce conflicts over the product mix with bottlers.
The Return on Equity has been in a decline after hitting a high in 2001. It has stabilized since 2005 at a very impressive 30%. Rather than focus on absolute values for this indicator, I generally want to see at least a stable return on equity over time.
The reason for the high returns on equity is that the company does not generally own the high capital intensive bottlers or fountain wholesalers, which produce and distribute the actual drinks. Instead it sells syrups, which are then mixed at the bottlers plants, and then are packaged and distributed. Coca Cola does have partial interests in 38 bottlers and distributors however, which accounted for over half of its worldwide volumes. Coca Cola Enterprises (CCE), in which Coca Cola (KO) owns a 34% stake, accounts for almost half of Coca-Cola's US concentrate sales.
Annual dividend payments have increased by an average of 10.30% since 2000, which is lower than the growth in EPS. The company last raised its dividend by 7.30% in February 2010, for the 48th year in a row.
A 10 % growth in dividends translates into the dividend payment doubling every seven years. If we look at historical data, going as far back as 1968, The Coca Cola Company has aindeed managed to double its dividend payment every seven years on average.
The dividend payout ratio remained above 50% for the majority of the past decade. A lower payout is always a plus, since it leaves room for consistent dividend growth minimizing the impact of short-term fluctuations in earnings.
Currently Coca Cola is trading at 17.30times earnings and yields 3.40%. In comparison arch rival in the cola wars Pepsi Co (PEP) trades at a P/E multiple of 16.10 and yields 3.10%. Check my analysis of Pepsi Co (PEP). I consider Coca Cola Company is just as attractively valued at the moment as Pepsi Co. I would add to my position in the stock as long as it trades below $58.60.

Great analysis! With the Dow below 10,000, I'm thinking it would be a good time to enter into KO (I currently don't own any). However, I'm a bit torn since I've really wanted to get into Canadian telcos and with the TSX dropping of late as well, the time might be better for that. Thoughts? Keep up the great posts.ReplyDelete

Just another Obama speech
Lawmakers are already complaining about what they won't hear in the president's speech.
News, Analysis and Opinion from POLITICO
Lawmakers are already complaining about what they won't hear in the president's speech.
Want to know why the Republicans who control both chambers of Congress can't get more done?
The president said he's prepared to veto hostile legislation, including an Iran sanctions package.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announces that Joni Ernst will deliver the Republican response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union.
The announcement was made at a Republican legislative retreat in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
"Sometime, somebody's got to pass something, right?" Rep. Devin Nunes asks.
Opponents of the pipeline are loading up amendments on the bill.
"It's time to air the differences," one senator says.
"My feeling is that we're going to get that sometime in the near future," McConnell says.
She argues new congressional sanctions will upset ongoing negotiations with Iran and turn off a multilateral international coalition.
The best of this week's late-night TV. Video produced by Beatrice Peterson.
"The president now has every reason to sign it," McConnell says.
Does the Republican Congress deserve any credit, even though it just got here?
It would change the definition from from 30 to 40 hours.
But they will still be looking to add language favorable to clients and to insert pet projects.
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the Senate will try work with President Barack Obama on trade, infrastructure and tax reform.
The GOP leader slammed Obama's veto threat of the Keystone XL pipeline.
President opposes first legislative move by GOP-controlled Congress.
The veep really got going at the mock swearing-in of senators.
The new majority leader's lofty promises are about to collide with a body known for gridlock.
The best moments of first day of the 114th Congress.

Why Do Dogs Bite?
Big or small, male or female, young or old, any dog can bite. Even the cuddliest, fuzziest, sweetest pet can bite if provoked.
Dogs bite as a reaction to something. If the dog finds itself in a stressful situation, it may bite to defend itself or its territory.
Dogs can bite because they are scared or have been startled. They can bite because they feel threatened. They can bite to protect something that is valuable to them, like their puppies, their food or a toy.
Dogs might bite because they aren't feeling well. They could be sick or sore due to injury or illness and might want to be left alone.
Dogs also might nip and bite during play. Even though nipping during play might be fun for the dog, it can be dangerous for people. It's a good idea to avoid wrestling or playing tug-of-war with your dog. These types of activities can make your dog overly excited, which may lead to a nip or a bite.
Socialization is a good way to help prevent your dog from biting. Socializing your pet helps your dog feel at ease in different situations. By introducing your dog to people and other animals while it's a puppy, it feels more comfortable in different situations as it gets older. It's also important to use a leash in public to make sure that you are able to control your dog.
Educating yourself and the children you know on how, or if, they should approach a dog is also very important when it comes to preventing dog bites. Information is one of the best ways to prevent dog bites.

Brown Turkey Fig Tree
Great Northern Hardiness!
But most of all, Brown Turkey is a fig producer. Expect big crops of 4-inch fruit, deep bronze on the outside and rich amber with hints of pink on the inside. The flesh is succulent, sweet, and tender. And this fig is self-pollinating, so you need plant only one. Whether you want figs for your table or simply to attract birds, Brown Turkey delivers!
This tree reaches 10 to 15 feet high and wide, with smooth bark that grows more ornamental each year. The bare silhouette in winter is very pleasing, and the foliage even more so: large, hand-shaped leaves nearly a foot long and wide cast elegant shadows on the ground and offer nice contrast to other plants in the garden.
The fruit emerges as tiny green nubs beneath the leaves in early to midsummer, growing larger and ripening in fall. Birds adore it, and you will too!
Find a place in full sunshine for Brown Turkey in all but the warmest climates, where it appreciates a bit of afternoon shade or dappled sunlight. Very low-maintenance, Brown Turkey needs only good soil drainage plus plenty of water and sun to thrive for many decades. Zones 6-10.

New from IKEA! The Stockholm Table and Chairs, Coming in August
International Contemporary Furniture Fair 2013
Yesterday I checked out the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York, an annual trade show highlighting what's new in design. It's not a kitchen-focused show, but I like going to see what's exciting for the dining room. A big reveal at this year's show was the brand-new Stockholm dining table and chairs from IKEA, made of walnut and due in stores in August! See more photos below:
Enclume: Gourmet Hanging Metal Pot Racks Made in the US
Store Profile
Enclume has been making metal pot racks for the last four decades out of their factory in Port Hadlock, Washington. You won't find cheap materials or flimsy construction here; rather, every Enclume cookware rack starts with super high quality hot-rolled steel and requires over 60 handling steps to complete. An Enclume rack "represents the efforts of skilled humans, not machines," as they like to say.
The Seasonal Color Wheel: A Guide to Natural Dyes Made From Seasonal Foods
We're all about sourcing, prepping, cooking and eating good food here at The Kitchn, yet there's one area we seldom think about: using food plants as dye. But now that I have the beautiful poster pictured above hanging in my kitchen, I'm inspired to take another look at my food scraps and consider what color they might produce on a t-shirt, or a napkin. Take avocado pits, for instance. Depending on the mordants (used to help fix the color) an avocado pit will produce anything from a pale mauve to a deep grey.

Eye-Catching Design: Salvaged Wood Dining Tables by Ariele Alasko
I first heard of woodworker/DIY'er extraordinaire Ariele Alasko when her super cool salvaged headboards showed up in my Pinterest feed. After exploring her site, Brooklyn to West, I discovered she also makes salvaged wood dining tables in her signature graphic, mix-and-match style. I think they're stunning, don't you? A little worn and rustic, but completely eye-catching.

Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea
Penguin, 2000 - Biography & Autobiography - 248 pages
The Babylonians invented it, the Greeks banned it, the Hindus worshiped it, and the Church used it to fend off heretics. Now it threatens the foundations of modern physics. For centuries the power of zero savored of the demonic; once harnessed, it became the most important tool in mathematics. For zero, infinity's twin, is not like other numbers. It is both nothing and everything.
In Zero, Science Journalist Charles Seife follows this innocent-looking number from its birth as an Eastern philosophical concept to its struggle for acceptance in Europe, its rise and transcendence in the West, and its ever-present threat to modern physics. Here are the legendary thinkers—from Pythagoras to Newton to Heisenberg, from the Kabalists to today's astrophysicists—who have tried to understand it and whose clashes shook the foundations of philosophy, science, mathematics, and religion. Zero has pitted East against West and faith against reason, and its intransigence persists in the dark core of a black hole and the brilliant flash of the Big Bang. Today, zero lies at the heart of one of the biggest scientific controversies of all time: the quest for a theory of everything.

Brent Glass, Director of the National Museum of American History, Announces Retirement
Danish Queen Margrethe, accompanied by National Museum of American History Director Brent Glass, looks at first lady Michelle Obama's inaugural gown during a tour of the museum in Washington, Tuesday, June 7, 2011. AP Photo/Evan Vucci.
Brent Glass, 64, has announced he will retire from the Smithsonian. He is leaving his position as director of the
National Museum of American History
effective July 10; he will continue at the Smithsonian as a senior advisor through the end of this year.
It has been an honor and joy to further the Smithsonian mission for the past nine years by working to increase awareness of American history and national memory, Glass said. I am enormously proud of the museum staff and their team efforts. We transformed the museum and created a new public square on the National Mall. We acquired new collections, created more than 50 exhibitions and hundreds of public programs, and launched innovative online projects. We have enjoyed record attendance, and visitors love the museum.
Now, after more than 35 years in government service, I am leaving in response to expanding opportunities to promote history education, historical literacy and public memory nationally and internationally, he added.
Under Brents leadership, the museum has been transformed, said Smithsonian Secretary Wayne Clough. The response to the museums revitalization has been overwhelmingly positive, with more than twice as many visitors as before. One of the most successful accomplishments has been the revitalization of the museums public spaces, allowing them to come alive with historic theater, public programs and moving U.S. citizenship ceremonies in Flag Hall twice a year.
Glass has served as director of the museum since 2002 and overseen the most extensive renovation of the museum in its history, the conservation of the Star-Spangled Banner and the installation of major new exhibitions on transportation, maritime history, military history and first ladies gowns. Glass considers the renovation of the core of the building, completed in 2008, to be the highlight of his nine years at the Smithsonian.
The Museum of American History is the third-busiest museum in the Smithsonian complex with more than 4 million visitors in 2010. It has a staff of 250, an annual federal budget of about $30 million and about 3 million artifacts. During Glass tenure, the museum has raised more than $60 million from individuals, foundations and corporations.
The museum is famous for some of its key artifacts: the Star-Spangled Banner that flew over Ft. McHenry during the War of 1812 and inspired the words of the national anthem; the Woolworths lunch counter where African American students staged the first sit-in protest in Greensboro, N.C.; Lincolns top hat, worn to the theater the night he was assassinated; Dorothys ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz; Muhammad Alis boxing gloves; Julia Childs kitchen; extensive jazz collections from Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald; and the portable desk Thomas Jefferson used when he wrote the Declaration of Independence.
In 2004, the museum opened Separate Is Not Equal: Brown v. Board of Education to mark the 50th anniversary of the groundbreaking Supreme Court decision that ended legal segregation in schools. It was accompanied by a number of public programs to explore the question of what equal opportunity means in todays diverse world. In 2009, a new changing gallery devoted to African American history opened in collaboration with the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
During Glass tenure, the museum expanded its exhibitions and public programs related to Latinos: In 2005, the museum opened a major exhibition on the life and music of Celia Cruz (1924-2003) with costumes, videos and recordings commemorating the influence of the Cuban-born queen of salsa. The following year, American History launched the Bracero History Project to collect, document and exhibit the history of the Emergency Farm Labor Program in California (1942-1964), which allowed more than 4.5 million Mexicans to work in the United States.
The museum is continually adding to its collection. Among the recent acquisitions were 10 original puppets from Jim Hensons Sam and Friends, a local TV show that later became The Muppet Show; Glenna Goodacres design for the Sacagawea dollar coins issued by the U.S. mint; the crash-test dummy costumes (Vince and Larry) that appeared in driving public-safety campaigns for more than a decade; and Eddie Van Halens Frank 2 guitar.
Among the milestones of Glass tenure at the museum are:
RenovationThe $85 million renovation of the building took nearly 2½ years, but when it reopened in November 2008, it included an entirely new core with a dramatic skylight and glass staircase opening up the atrium; a new exhibition of the Star-Spangled Banner; artifact walls on two floors with cases that allow the museum to show hundreds of objects; a welcome center; and a documents gallery that displays special documents of all kinds, from the last-known draft of the Gettysburg Address in Lincolns own handwriting to the joke files of comedian Phyllis Diller.
During the two-year renovation that closed the museum, Glass led an effort to maintain visibility with appearances on The Colbert Report and Oprah Winfreys show and through a new exhibition, Treasures of American History, at the National Air and Space Museum.
America on the MoveThe first major exhibition to open under the leadership of Glass (November 2003) was a new transportation hall that told the story of railroads, water and air travel with a special focus on Americas love of cars and highways featuring a section of 1932 pavement from Route 66, an original 1903 Winton touring car and a 1957 Chevy convertible.
Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and InnovationThis center expanded after the renovation and now showcases changing exhibits about creators and their inventions, from robots to microwaves, the Invention at Play exhibit and the nearby Spark!Lab where children work on science experiments.
The Price of FreedomOpening on Veterans Day 2004, this major permanent exhibition demonstrates how wars have been and continue to be defining episodes in our national life, as Glass said at the time. Artifacts from the museums extensive military history collection cover the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Cold War, Vietnam (symbolized by a Huey helicopter) and conflicts in Iraq and the Gulf region.
First Ladies exhibitionGlass presided over First Lady Michelle Obamas inaugural gown donation ceremony in March 2010. The dress became the most popular attraction in the new gallery, A First Ladys Debut, featuring dresses of 11 modern first ladies and located next to the First Ladies at the Smithsonian exhibition.
Before joining the Smithsonian, Glass served for 15 years (19872002) as executive director of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission in Harrisburg, Pa., which included 25 sites. He oversaw major expansion and renovation projects at several historic sites and museums around the state and led an effort to conserve the Pennsylvania Charter and other important documents and artifacts.
He earned his doctorate in philosophy and history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, his masters degree in American Civilization at New York University and a bachelors degree at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania.
He currently serves as a member of the U.S. Flight 93 Memorial Advisory Commission, the State Departments U.S.Russia Bilateral Commission Working Group on Culture and Education and as a trustee of Lafayette College in Pennsylvania.
An acting director for the museum will be appointed in July. Glass will serve as Senior Advisor to the Office of the Under Secretary for History, Art, and Culture. A national search for a new director for the museum will begin immediately, headed up by Richard Kurin, Under Secretary for History, Art, and Culture with the assistance of an executive search firm.

My very first video filmed on the Canon 7D. Looking back I didn`t know how to arrange the slow motion right in premiere pro. But I thought I keep it that way, so I can see my procress more clearly over the time. The soundtrack is from the movie: ,,Slumdog Millionair" - I don`t have the rights, but I thought it does fit so well that I just load it up with it.
It`s facinating, how much emotion und happiness you can find, if you just look for it. This was shot in between 1 hour, while I was waiting for my brother to come back from a long journey.
Loading more stuff…
Hmm…it looks like things are taking a while to load. Try again?

dispenser drawer not working correct, only fill 1st compartment
Hello every one.
I have a new Bompani Washing Machine, the soap dispenser drawer is well explained in the manual, 1 for prewash, 2 for wash cycle, and 3 for softener. In all the cycles the machine use the 1st dispenser only for take water, the water only saturate the 2nd compartment(with the soap for the main wash) in the final rinse before the spinning process, that is supposed to do with the compartment 3 with the softener.
An improvised solution is to use the compartment 1 for place the soap, but I think this is a problem because the water is filling by this compartment at the very beginning in the soaking process, and this first water is drained in some many cycles before the main wash cycle.
Note that the washing machine is New, I not have guarantee because I'm far in other country.
Is any solution for this?
Sorry my bad English.

I won't be controlled by Michael Searle, says new Gold Coast Titans boss David May
- From: The Courier-Mail
- July 29, 2012
PETER BADEL, the journalist whose two-year investigation exposed the Titans' financial crisis and led to the resignation of former boss Michael Searle, talks to new Gold Coast chief executive DAVID MAY about the task ahead.
It's a tough task rebuilding the Titans, are you confident you are the man for the job?
It's a really exciting opportunity for me. I have grown up with the game as a five-year-old standing in freezing temperatures in Hull watching fairly ordinary rugby and being passionate about it. Very infrequently in life do you get the chance to mix something you are passionate about with what you are doing for a living. There is a lot of work to be done, I agree, we have a lot to do and for all the positives, there are a lot of things that need looking at as well. If I didn't believe the Titans could have been one of the best sporting clubs in the country, I wouldn't have come. At the end of the day I am putting my reputation on the line because I believe in the potential of the club and the region.
You have an impressive resume. Is this the jewel in your crown business wise?
I can't think I will get an opportunity that is more exciting than this one. I moved here nearly 10 years ago and became an Australian citizen in 2007 so technically I'm an Aussie. I've had the privilege of working for some great companies but this is the icing on the cake. I will give every ounce of energy into making this successful.
You believe the Titans can with the comp within three years, it's a bold statement.
The players and coach can't guarantee a premiership but I will be judged on how successful the organisation is and part of that is that we are on a solid commercial footing. We will also be judged on how we perform on the field and I have never been afraid of setting big goals and achieving them. I would love to be part of the first Gold Coast team to win a premiership and I know which side (compared to the AFL Suns) has a better chance of doing it. I don't mind making bold statements. People will hold me accountable but that's OK.
Has the Titans brand been damaged?
That's a difficult question to answer. I have read a lot of comments from our fans on forums and there has been some uncertainty for some period of time. They have seen the issues with Gold Coast United (soccer side) and they have been anxious, but that anxiety comes from passion and we need to harness it to take the club forward.
There is a perception Michael Searle will still wield the power and that you are ostensibly a frontman.
I don't like that sentiment but, yes, I have read it. I understand why people would make that statement but I am leaving one of the best jobs in the country to do this job and I wouldn't do that if I was going to be someone else's mouthpiece. I'm relocating my family from Melbourne, we are giving up everything we have got, I am leaving a great company and I wouldn't do that if I'm just doing Michael a favour. I've had the tough conversations with Michael about how this will work and who is doing what and who is the boss. We have resolved that to our satisfaction, so I'm clear about what my role and responsibilities are. I want to be judged on what I achieve and my style and grace in doing it.
Will Michael be on the board?
His position is an executive position so yes he will be on the board. We expect to make an announcement around the third week of August depending on the paperwork. It (the board) will comprise more than two people.
How can Searle stay on in any role given he racked up a $25 million debt and nearly sent the club broke?
The football club has always been in a sustainable position. The history of the Centre of Excellence is fairly well documented. Without wanting to sound glib, the club wouldn't be here without him. It was his vision and there are a lot of good things in this football club, there are a lot of positives. The people who will decide the fate of this club are the supporters. If we can make our product good enough and perform on the field, if I do my bit and make sure we are stable and secure off the field, if they support us, we will be successful.
Did the new investors ask Michael to step aside completely?
Not that I'm aware of, but that's a question for the board when they are assembled.
Is Michael still the majority owner?
I've been asked by the incoming investors not to disclose the details of their investment. Those things will become public record over time but at this time they have asked me to respect their significant investment.
What will Michael's role be and how much autonomy will you have?
Michael will have an important role running the football side of the club and that is very important to the overall business. But I am wholly accountable for the success of the club and I will answer to the independent chairman and the board of directors. Has he got an important role? Yes. Is he a shareholder? Yes. But does it impinge on my ability to make the club the best sporting club in Australia? I don't think so. I have the authority to do what the board thinks needs to be done to take this club to the next level. We want greater transparency, corporate governance and make sure we are making good decisions that have been well debated.
Has the ARL Commission approved the restructure?
The ARLC didn't make my appointment, I want to make that clear. The club have worked very closely with the commission and the NRL for the last six months and they have given us every chance to resolve our issues.
How vital is it to reach out to the Titans fans?
That's critical. I have spent a lot of time talking to people at the club and there were four or five explanations for the reasons behind what happened. I know first hand how passionate people are about the club, it's a rugby league area, there is a huge amount of goodwill towards the Titans and I have to figure out how we connect all that together.

Sheds or Conservatories, Greenhouses of Recycled Windows etc
The lovely greenhouse/studio/shed structure that Rafor built is a great little building. I'm really into homemade sheds, but you don't always have to build it from scratch to make it look great. However, thinking along the lines of reusing old windows and doors, or buying new ones for that matter, you can make a fantastic very personal space. I think about the "buttery" that MamaGoose has, and I sigh in anticipation of what a treasure that will be one day. Sort of reminds me of Tasha Tudor, or Beatrix Potter, you know.
But here are some of the pics on my computer that I've dreamed over for a long time. There is something about those multi-paned old windows that makes a person feel enclosed, protected, and in a wonderful playhouse.
Please contribute any you have pictures of too. This kind of space is especially useful to small homers. I know that OldGardener has a lovely garden, and a spot similar to this.
And I am thinking of one shot here that Lavender Lass will love, I'm sure she will find it all by herself. Enjoy.
This one really reminds me of Rafor's Glass House:
And if you don't have space for a whole shed, what about a shed extension like a garden window that goes all the way to the ground or floor? Maybe even a couple of door lights on either end too.
This one is from inside looking out. But it feels like outside regardless. A nice place to sit and drink a cuppa tea, don't you think?
and that's all for today folks. Enjoy this potpourri of STUFF.
Oh, I love all those windows!
My husband built a shed from recycled materials and leftover bits from some of his construction jobs. He used different colored leftover tiles on the floor, bits of leftover laminate flooring, and leftover sheet rock for the walls. The octagon window is from some old project. The door is an old one. Some of the siding is left over from when we built our house.
It's all made from bits and pieces of other projects.
The porch is a great place to sit and view the garden.
ML What a wonderful collection of pretty spaces. I KNOW which one LL will love.
Oldgardener that is a delightful little shed? Shed is that really enough of a name for such a pretty little building.
My DH built me the garden shed from satellite dish fins and some recycled tin. Not a thing of beauty but is really is useful.
Since the french doors our friend brought up will not fit where we had hoped I am going to try to use them some how on the front porch. First I need to get them to the porch. They will take two men and a woman to lift them. EEEEKKK they are heavy. I do not plan on officially mounting them . Just have them temp until I can talk DH into enclosing half or so of the porch. I really hope to do that some day. THEN we can use the collected windows and doors I have been hoarding.
shades_of_idaho, if it was wired and plumbed, it could be a guest house, but there is no bathroom or kitchen in it, no wiring or plumbing. The shed itself isn't all that big...the porch makes it look twice as big as it really is.
My husband also built this shed using recycled materials and split logs. I call it the foxglove shed. :)
In the last picture, you can see an old stained glass window that he framed with odd pieces of wood.
Great sheds! Old gardener, I love the shed your dh built. It has been so brutally hot here this summer that I can't really imagine a shed built out of glass. Unless it was surrounded by shade trees, it would be an oven. But I still like the way they look.
ML- I love that last picture! A perfect place, for a cup of tea :)
Oldgardener- What wonderful sheds! Your DH is a treasure...and your foxgloves are beautiful. I've probably asked before (I should keep notes LOL) but do you live on the west side of Washington or Oregon? All that snow, but such beautiful cedars(?) and ferns.
Shades- Your french doors sound lovely. I hope you get your porch enclosed, soon. It will such a nice feature.
Marti- You seem more like the shady screened porch type. A cool, green spot to sit and enjoy the evenings...with no bugs! I think we all need a place like that, in the summer.
Lav, I just KNEW that picture would strike your fancy!
And Oldgardener, I remember when you posted the picture of your little shed in the snow, such a dreamy landscape. I know it is small, but the porch AND the large roofline, make it appear substantially larger.
The lavender flowers, the stained glass, the pair of chairs on the porch...they tell me that this place has been planned for more than utilitarian purposes. Even if you seldom go to it, looking at it from your house, when you are involved in some tiresome project, it gives you a brief moment of pleasure, of relaxation. That is what happens when I look up from my kitchen window and see the garden bench, or the hammock I seldom lie on, but it is something my psyche needs to have.

As it has been suggested, you need to check if you have an SSN or an ITIN – if you have the latter, I don't know if you can get a CC in the US.
If you do have an SSN, then applying for a (secured) CC at your local bank branch (and getting approved) is probably the best way to get your data sent to the CRAs.
It could be that doing the application face-to-face at your bank may help it bypass some preliminary checks – something which would not be possible with an online application. Once your card is approved, you will be able to start your credit history. Make sure to mention to your bank that this is your first-ever CC, because it may help them understand why they will not be able to pull your reports. You will probably have to bring your SS card and other supporting documentation for your application too.
This is to the best of my understanding. Anybody please chime in if I got something wrong.
You may find this thread relevant too: Equifax doesn't have my SSN on file?
The problem is not with the databases, but with SSN Randomization. Even before they go to the databases, they run a small program called SSN_validator, which checks that first three digits of your SSN are valid. In June 2011, Social Security changed the algorithm. For example, SSNs starting with 734 to 749 were invalid before June 2011, but are valid now. Unfortunately, nobody bothers to update the SSN_validator, because it only affects immigrants and 2-year old Americans. Be patient, wait a few years, eventually it will be fixed.

NFL player denounces violence against women
In his talk Monday night, Don McPherson decried violence against women. The self-proclaimed feminist and activist spoke out against gender violence, saying "It's not about waiting for these moments to happen. It's about preparing for them beforehand."
The former player for the NFL and CFL and member of the College Football Hall of Fame used his past experiences in the world of sports to bring men into the conversation about women's violence.
He pointed out that in life, like on the field, moments come when we have to make snap decisions based on what we have learned and practiced. He also said instances of violence against women usually occur during or as a result of such moments.
Citing his own family's history of alcoholism as an example, he said ignoring the issue does not make it go away. Instead, it passes it on to future generations.
McPherson said by making violence against women a taboo issue, parents, guardians, teachers and adults in general are sending a message deeming actions that attack females acceptable.
He used the classic insult "you throw like a girl" as an example of his point and said by not forcefully denouncing such acts and allowing such language, we as a society create an image of females and femininity as inferior.
"We ignore the fact that, in some aspects of life, men need to take on more feminine qualities such as empathy and compassion," McPherson said.
McPherson also put an emphasis on where children and teens in society learn gender roles and behaviors acceptable for relationships — not from in-depth conversations with their parents, grandparents or guardians but from the media and their peers.
He said today's children learn what they should be and how they should act from the entertainment industry that produces songs, movies and television shows that depict abusive relationships, one-night stands and many other pictures of unhealthy relationships. Then, he added, they share and reaffirm these lessons with their friends and peer groups.
He said teens should be learning their roles as males or females from the adults in their lives who can provide a realistic picture of relationships.
According to McPherson, the solution to the issue of gender violence and male notions of superiority lie in changing ideas about what is and what is not acceptable behavior. Men need to hold one another accountable for their actions and stop using words that victimize women.
Following the same thought, McPherson said women need to stand up for themselves more often and more strongly. Parents, grandparents and guardians need to take a stronger role in teaching today's youth about their roles in society, instead of leaving the job to the media and peer groups.
The Women's Center used McPherson's talk as the kickoff event to its Women's Week.
Sara Ryan, director of the Women's Center, said since McPherson was scheduled before the dates for Women's Week were chosen, the week has been planned around his talk.
"Involving more men in the conversation about sexual assault, like with Jackson Katz," Ryan said, "is the main focus of this year's Women's Week and the Violence Intervention Project in general."
Both Katz and McPherson made it clear that the issue known as "women's violence" is more than just a women's issue.
A point central to both men's speeches, as well as the Women's Center's various programs for Women's Week and the Department of Justice's Violence Intervention Project, was that in order to solve the issue of relationship and domestic violence, men also have to get involved.
McPherson said men must stand up and hold other men accountable for how they interact with and treat their female peers.

When you're searching Google for a particular TV show, do you ever think about how many other people are searching for that exact same thing? Luckily, you don't even need to Google that information, because we have it for you right here...thanks to Google.
The Smallville faithful can rejoice as their beloved Allison Mack aka techie Chloe Sullivan from the long running drama is returning to prime time. And the move is not to any of the superhero shows that are flooding the networks. Mack is instead returning to the very dark FOX drama The Following starring Kevin Bacon.
Series hitting their tenth season tend to either be news-related or animated, but The CWs Supernatural is seemingly as strong as ever, kicking things off this past week with a premiere that took the characters in a completely different direction from where they were. But in case you arent yet caught up on the ghastly adventures of Sam and Dean, now's your chance.
San Diego Comic-Con officially kicks off a week from today, so the timing is perfect for Warner Bros. to unveil the designs for the collectible bags, which will be handed out to all registered attendees when they arrive to pick up their SDCC badges.
Warner Bros. Television has announced their plans for Comic-Con in San Diego later this month. That includes the traditional Wednesday pilot screenings for preview night, as well as a bevy of panels for their new and popular TV series during the convention.
Season 2 of The Following wrapped up tonight with an episode that offered a few interesting twists and a conclusion that felt almost too final. But not everything was completely wrapped up. And frankly, we wouldn't describe "Forgive" as a happy ending, but it was one of the more entertaining hours of the season.
"Spoilers if you aren't caught up on The Following Through Season 2's penultimate episode, "Silence." Last night's episode of The Following took out a key player in this story, and left another in major jeopardy. The above preview gives us a look at next Monday night's season finale, "Forgive."
Early renewals have been a bit of a thing for Fox this year, with Sleepy Hollow nabbing a second season pretty early on. Weve got a little while before the networks start rolling out pickups and renewals in full force, but on Friday Fox opted to give us a little bit of a teaser regarding what is to come.
Oh the surface, hes really keeping it together, Kevin Bacon says, speaking about his character Ryan Hardy in the new sneak peek for The Following Season 2. But in the darker corridors of his psyche, maybe not so much. It makes sense in a way. Joe Carrolls follows arent the most mentally stable people. Maybe following him, either as a fan or in Hardys case a foe, requires access to the darker corridors of a persons psyche.
Fox has released promotional photos of the lead characters in the second season of The Following. In addition to giving us a look at one of the newcomers, one photo in particular is especially spoilery or not spoilery at all, depending on what you think will happen in Season 2 so read and look ahead with that in mind!
Creepy and dramatic was kind of a theme during the first season of Foxs The Following, and judging by the teasers for the upcoming second season of Kevin Williamsons serial killer thriller, its one that will carry over to Season 2. Another theme in Season 1 were the creepy Edgar Allan Poe masks that Joe Carrolls followers wore when they were carrying out some of their most heinous misdeeds.
Believe it or not, were at the point in the year when the networks will start setting their January premiere dates. 2014 is not that far away, and for Fox, it marks the return of winter series American Idol and The Following, as well as the debut of new series Rake and Enlisted.
Spoilers if you arent caught up on The Following through Season 1! Joe Carroll is dead. Or is he? The first season of The Following left off with James Purefoys character dying in a fire after facing off with Kevin Bacons Ryan Hardy. The teaser for the series second season offers a pretty obvious hint that Mr. Carroll may not be as dead as hed like people to believe.
Is Zach Hamilton the next Dexter? That's a question that remains to be answered during the final season of Dexter. It was really only just posed during Sunday night's episode - if you're not caught up, consider yourselves spoiler-warned! - as Dexter stalked the young murderer and plotted to kill him before eventually deciding to take the lad under his wing and be his Harry.
Capes are back! Or they will be at Comic-Con this year. Someone tell Edna ("No capes!"). Warner Bros. unveiled the official 2013 Comic-Con bags and they come with detachable capes. That, added to the announcement that the bags are fashioned like a backpack this year causes me some mild concern that many of us may feel compelled to run while wearing it, as such a compulsion can arise when wearing a cape.
