- Trouble In Paradise
A portrait of post modern civilisation in the face of greed, ambition and paranoia.
Volume 1: DAY - In todays western civilization dominated by the paradigm of individualisation the
individual strives for perfection in the creation of his project of life. But only minor
incidents and disturbing factors confront the person concerned with the fact that even
a liberal and engineered world does not permit the utmost control over every single
detail. The recently completed series of images Trouble in Paradise is particularly
rich in detail and multifaceted. Its idyllic imagery allures the observer, captures his
interest but only to turn him into a witness of human failure. Schmid ventures out on
a complex research to find his landscapes and settings in which he arranges the
perceived normality through a refined lighting concept - the idyllic setting serves as a
contrast to the tragedy of the portrayed action.

Yes I second the idea. In fact if we want to have any serious LOB apps with ultimate security for WP phone quickly then this is very much required. Also do not gives us the excuse that the same is accessible via DM client. It is really a painful process to get that working and with very short trun around time this is really not possible. If you really want some real adoption and compete with iOS and Android please go for such features, less WP 8 only will be a toy.
Goncalo Oliveira commented
This is actually something I'll be needing as well.

Mike Sanderson has been a man on a mission for the past two years, and his dreams of Dalton becoming a hub of lacrosse activity is taking another leap forward.
A native of Alabama, Sanderson fell in love with the sport when he was in college, and he has had a passion for lacrosse ever since. Now a marketing manager for Shaw Inc., Sanderson has wanted to share that passion, and soon the city will have a competitive team for boys ages 11 to 13.
Registration is continuing through the week with the Dalton Parks and Recreation Department (myDPRD.com), and Sanderson, who will serve as the coach of the team, will conduct a parent's meeting on Feb. 11 at 6:30 p.m. at John Davis Recreation Center. Because of an equipment grant and donation from US LaCrosse, the inaugural season will not cost participants.
"My objective is to have a committed group of young men wanting to learn how to play lacrosse and compete against other programs," Sanderson said in an email earlier this week.
The season will begin March 9 and will run through the beginning of April and practices will be held on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays with games on Saturdays. For more information, contact Sanderson at (706) 313-2077 or through email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Here is a look at what else is going on around the sporting landscape this week.
• For the winter high school sports, boys and girls basketball regular seasons will wind down this week, while swimming marks its state competition and area wrestlers head to traditional West sectional tournaments.
Area swimmers who have qualified for state will travel to Atlanta on Friday for the start of the Class A-5A state swimming and diving meet at Georgia Tech's aquatic center with the finals scheduled for Saturday afternoon. Last year, Dalton's boys were the top performing public school in their classification with Taylor Dale winning two individual state championships and also combining with his teammates for a relay title as well. Dale, who will swim collegiately at Georgia, returns to Tech for the final swimming competition of his high school career.
Northwest Whitfield will send its female swimmers to the state competition for the first time in school history. The girls 200 freestyle relay team will mark a first, as will Matthew Pipkin, who is the first male swimmer from the school to qualify in an individual event.
Look forward to stories later this week on both schools as they prepare to travel south for state.
• While the number of area title winners may not have been as many as coaches would have wanted, many area wrestlers earned their shots at the rest of state and will compete at sectionals this weekend.
All of the area wrestling programs will be represented at sectionals, which will be held at Lamar County (Class 2A), Ringgold (Class 3A) and Pickens High (Class 4A). Wrestling begins on Friday with qualifying spots for the state tournament in Macon to be wrapped up on Saturday.
• The Dalton High School cheerleaders hold a pancake breakfast fundraiser Saturday at Longhorn Steakhouse from 7 to 9:30 a.m. Cost is $7. There will be no take-outs. Cheerleaders will sell tickets until Wednesday and will also serve breakfast during the fundraiser.
• Single game tickets for the 2013 Atlanta Braves season will go on sale today at 10 a.m. for select games via braves.com/tickets. The online-only process for this first on sale date will feature 55 of the possible 81 home games.
The remaining "Marquee" and "Premier" tiered games will be available for purchase on Feb. 25 at 10 a.m. through www.braves.com/tickets, the Turner Field ticket office, the Braves Clubhouse Store at CNN Center, all Ticketmaster locations or by calling 1-800-745-3000.

CNET Editors' review
Despite a cluttered interface, this app proved simple to use and lets you quickly and securely store data files in a password-protected form embedded within media files.
SuperStorm initially looks confusing--its interface is cluttered with buttons, a number of fields, and some amateurish graphics. The appearance is a bit deceptive; what looks somewhat childishly designed actually works pretty well and is easy to use.
In our tests, this free app performed well. Selecting a data file and a media file in which to embed it was a simple matter of dragging an item in the apps file browser to the selected graphic. Clicking Execute created a new Output file--the media file with the embedded data file--in a matter of moments. We were then able to save it where we wished. There was no discernible change to the new media file, except that it was slightly larger than its original from 5,175KB to 5,775KB for one test item.
Creating a password to protect the new file is just as simple a process. Novices will quickly master this app. Experienced users may prefer a more robust app for securing sensitive files, but SuperStorm isn't really designed for industrial workouts.
Publisher's Description
From Mindhills:
SuperStorm allows you to hide your confidential files and folders in a wide variety of media files such as pictures, audio, video, and executable programs among many other file types. Your secret file will be physically wiped out and merged inside the media file. After the operation, your final picture, audio, video, or executable program will continue to display, sound, play, and function exactly like before.
To enforce security, you can define a password up to 10000 characters or use any file as your encryption key. You can also set a password to restrict access to SuperStorm and if any security settings are tampered or damaged, the program will repair them automatically. SuperStorm can be used to destroy any sensitive file on your computer. Physically overwritten, files cannot be recovered by any software or hardware. Version 1.52 fixes minor interface problems such as the empty file selection list in file browsing dialog windows.
What's new in this version: Version 1.52 fixes minor interface problems such as the empty file selection list in file browsing dialog windows.

"It Works as said and if you need to hide file its fine. Usefulness may vary from person to person."
Version: SuperStorm 1.52
Idea of the developer.
"merges a file but not files or a folder at one time"
Version: SuperStorm 1.52
Very easy setup not mixing up the win registry
not the "folders". Not in free version at least.
"Can hide files and folders"
Version: SuperStorm 1.52
In my humble opinion meteor713, you are being unfair here, no offense.. but truth is, I use SuperStorm daily to hide/unhide entire folder trees! Of course, the root folder should be previously compressed using XP's built-in Zip funtion or any other tool (I use WinRAR). The basic idea is to hide *any* file inside another file, including a compressed volume if you wish. As stated in the documentation, compression reduces size *and* enhances speed as well as encryption.. Therefore, claiming that it can't hide folders is inaccurate.. with all my respect to your opinion.
"Doesn't work with folders"
Version: SuperStorm 1.52
Only specify a file at a time. Cannot assign a folder.
"brilliant! Don't understand, or pretend to know how it does it, but it does."
Version: SuperStorm 1.52
It does exactly what it promises. I chose the files I wished to hide and then selected a media file within which to hide them. It did as it promised and then after all this I was able to still play the resulting media file with no hint that it contained anything else. It is simple to use, and did it all in a few minutes. I was so impressed that I paid for the pro version.

I hope this doesn't come across as snarky or anything, I just wanted to point this out in the event that you aren't pregnant right now, but you do decide you want to try for a baby in the future.
Fertility is a weird thing. If you aren't having a period on your own, you aren't ovulating, which means you aren't actually fertile. That being said, you can also have periods without ovulating and not be fertile. You can also ovulate but lack fertile cervical secretions, making you somewhat unfertile. You have eggs (you've donated them) but that doesn't necessarily mean you will be able to get pregnant on your own.

Oct 17, 2011Success in Michael Phelps – Push the Limit really depends on proper pacing like it would in real sports – brilliant! Unfortunately, nothing else in the game is anywhere near as brilliant. Various shortcomings really hamper the overall impression, but for swimming fans, it's worth a look thanks to the well-done pacing feature alone.
Jan 10, 2012A potentially decent swimming game, but it has some lag related issues and bad design decisions, like the fact that you can't retry races on earlier seasons, which means you can easily get stuck at the start of the third season. [Jan 2012]
Dec 28, 2011The gameplay is what really matters, I suppose, but although the swimming motions are pretty intuitive, the ramp-up in difficulty and lack of true leveling-up render the game a bit tedious after a while. That, combined with the nagging issues above, make it hard for me to recommend Michael Phelps: Push the Limit even for the biggest of Michael Phelps fans.
Oct 28, 2011The game features split-screen and online multiplayer, but two people flailing their arms next to each other is a disaster waiting to happen. The real killer, though, is that Phelps isn't a good pick-up-and-play game. It's initially confusing, and ultimately, it's not nearly as fun as it should be.
Feb 15, 2012More a case of sink than swim. [Feb 2012, p.91]
Nov 17, 2011As it stands, if you want to get a swimming workout, take my advice and go sign up at a local YMCA instead.
Nov 11, 2011An atrocious game, with broken controls, extreme difficulty, minimal duration and little to no variety.

There are no natives blooming here in late January. It's the middle of winter and cold and dreary, so this is no surprise. A Witch Hazel is in full bloom, but that is a seedling of 'Jelena', herself Hammamelis x intermedia, a Chinese and and Japanese hybrid. So I will go both back into the archives and into future plans to look at Baptisia.
I love Baptisia. It's both a very beautiful plant and a survivor. Its only weakness is that voles love its thick roots. It's easy to get around the voles by planting Baptisia into 2-3 gallon pots sunk into the ground and mulching the surface with sharp gravel. The bottoms of the pots are cut out to allow the Baptisia roots to sink in deep. Two to 3 gallon (or even 1 gallon) pots work because the roots go straight down. Voles won't dig very deep or in sharp gravel, and since voles will not chew through plastic and plastic buried in the earth lasts forever, this strategy has worked. If I didn't go to this trouble I don't think I'd have any Baptisia at all, and voles don't really trouble anything else besides this and Lespedeza.
The effect of Baptisia is ethereal in spite of its toughness. I have Baptisia alba and B. 'Purple Smoke' in the big perennial bed
as well as Baptisia australis, whose color ranges from purple
to blue.
So, I decided to try some other types. This past fall I extended the bed beside the paddock to almost full length. Here is part of the bed from last spring, with 'Twilight Prairie Blues', a hybrid of B. australis and B. sphaerocarpa.
I remember thinking it might look good with iris 'Beotie', if they would bloom together at the same time. Not sure they would, since Beotie is listing as an early bloomer.
I found this picture and realized I had completely forgotten that the flowers were originally a deep chocolately purple with yellow edges, the typical advertisement color combination, before they faded to the smoky lavender pictured above. This will of course necessitate more iris and other companion plant research. :)
I also added 'Carolina Moonlight', a lovely hybrid of Baptisia alba and B. sphaerocarpa. Like 'Purple Smoke', this hybrid was selected by the late Rob Gardner of the North Carolina Botanical Garden.
After reading in the Plant Delights catalog that 'Purple Smoke' is a hybrid of Baptisia minor and alba, not australis and alba, and seeing Baptisia minor in the catalog too, I was intrigued by this diminitive B. australis lookalike.
Enter Prairie Moon Nursery, which sells a spectacular variety of seeds. In their catalog I saw listed the seeds of Baptisia bracteata, minor, sphaerocarpa, and tinctoria, as well as B. alba and australis. So a couple of years ago I ordered the seeds, started them last year, and put them in the new bed beside the paddock last fall.
I don't have any pictures of the new Baptisia since they won't bloom for another 2-3 years. I do have this picture from the Sandhills section of the NC Botanical Garden, but I'm not sure which one it is. It's lovely though, isn't it?
If I don't like these seed-grown Baptisias and selected cultivars are better, I'll just take them out and put australis and alba in and maybe try some of the cultivars. All were easy to grow from seed, perhaps because the seeds came from Prairie Moon with a species-specific innoculum.

CHAPTER XIV.OF EVIDENCE AND THE PROOFS OF A CRIME, AND OF THE FORM OF JUDGMENT.The following general theorem is of great use in determining the certainty of fact. When the proofs of a crime are dependent on each other, that is, when the evidence of each witness, taken separately, proves nothing; or when all the proofs are dependent upon one, the number of proofs neither increase nor diminish the probability of the fact; for the force of the whole is no greater than the force of that on which they depend; and if this fails, they all fall to the ground. When the proofs are independent on each other, the probability of the fact increases in proportion to the number of proofs; for the falsehood of one does not diminish the veracity of another. It may seem extraordinary that I speak of probability with regard to crimes, which, to deserve a punishment, must be certain. But this paradox will vanish, when it is considered, that, strictly speaking, moral certainty is only probability; but which is called a certainty, because every man in his senses assents to it from an habit produced by the necessity of acting, and which is anterior to all speculation. That certainty which is necessary to decide that the accused is guilty, is the very same which determines every man in the most important transactions of his life. The proofs of a crime may be divided into two classes, perfect and imperfect. I call those perfect which exclude the possibility of innocence; imperfect, those which do not exclude this possibility. Of the first, one only is sufficient for condemnation; of the second, as many are required as form a perfect proof: that is to say, that though each of these, separately taken, does not exclude the possibility of innocence, it is nevertheless excluded by their union. It should be also observed, that the imperfect proofs of which the accused, if innocent, might clear himself, and does not, become perfect. But it is much easier to feel this moral certainty of proofs, than to define it exactly. For this reason, I think it an excellent law which establishes assistants to the principal judge, and those chosen by lot; for that ignorance, which judges by its feelings, is less subject to error, than the knowledge of the laws which judges by opinion. Where the laws are clear and precise, the office of the judge is merely to ascertain the fact. If, in examining the proofs of a crime, acuteness and dexterity be required; if clearness and precision be necessary in summing up the result; to judge of the result itself, nothing is wanting but plain and ordinary good sense, a less fallacious guide than the knowledge of a judge accustomed to find guilty, and to reduce all things to an artificial system, borrowed from his studies. Happy the nation, where the knowledge of the law is not a science! It is an admirable law which ordains, that every man shall be tried by his peers; for when life, liberty and fortune are in question, the sentiments, which a difference of rank and fortune inspire, should be silent; that superiority with which the fortunate look upon the unfortunate, and that envy with which the inferior regard their superiors, should have no influence. But when the crime is an offence against a fellow-subject, one half of the judges should be peers to the accused, and the other peers to the person offended. So that all private interest, which, in spite of ourselves, modifies the appearance of objects, even in the eyes of the most equitable, is counteracted, and nothing remains to turn aside the direction of truth and the laws. It is also just, that the accused should have the liberty of excluding a certain number of his judges. Where this liberty is enjoyed for a long time, without any instance to the contrary, the criminal seems to condemn himself. All trials should be public, that opinion, which is the best, or, perhaps, the only cement of society, may curb the authority of the powerful, and the passions of the judge; and that the people may say, "We are protected by the laws; we are not slaves;" a sentiment which inspires courage, and which is the best tribute to a sovereign who knows his real interest. I shall not enter into particulars. There may be some persons who expect that I should say all that can be said upon this subject; to such, what I have already written must be unintelligible. |

Macrophage and T Cell Dynamics during the Development and Disintegration of Mycobacterial Granulomas
Immunity, Volume 28, Issue 2, 15 February 2008, Pages 271-284
Jackson G. Egen, Antonio Gigliotti Rothfuchs, Carl G. Feng, Nathalie Winter, Alan Sher and Ronald N. Germain
SummaryGranulomas play a key role in host protection against mycobacterial pathogens, with their breakdown contributing to exacerbated disease. To better understand the initiation and maintenance of these structures, we employed both high-resolution multiplex static imaging and intravital multiphoton microscopy of Mycobacterium bovis BCG-induced liver granulomas. We found that Kupffer cells directly capture blood-borne bacteria and subsequently nucleate formation of a nascent granuloma by recruiting both uninfected liver-resident macrophages and blood-derived monocytes. Within the mature granuloma, these myeloid cell populations formed a relatively immobile cellular matrix that interacted with a highly dynamic effector T cell population. The efficient recruitment of these T cells was highly dependent on TNF-α-derived signals, which also maintained the granuloma structure through preferential effects on uninfected macrophage populations. By characterizing the migration of both innate and adaptive immune cells throughout the process of granuloma development, these studies provide a new perspective on the cellular events involved in mycobacterial containment and escape.

AbstractGranulomatous immune responses are interesting models for the effector phase of immunity, in that granulomas can be part of both immune protection and disease pathology during the course of various infectious and autoimmune diseases. Focusing mainly on granulomas induced by Schistosoma or Mycobacterium infection, this article reviews T-cell recruitment, local cytokine networks and the regulation of cytokine networks by neuropeptides in granulomas. In addition, different activation pathways for macrophages residing in granulomas are discussed. Granulomas are unique inflammatory sites that offer a challenging and rewarding model to study immunity.

Tumor Necrosis Factor Signaling Mediates Resistance to Mycobacteria by Inhibiting Bacterial Growth and Macrophage Death
Immunity, Volume 29, Issue 2, 15 August 2008, Pages 283-294
Hilary Clay, Hannah E. Volkman and Lalita Ramakrishnan
SummaryTumor necrosis factor (TNF), a key effector in controlling tuberculosis, is thought to exert protection by directing formation of granulomas, organized aggregates of macrophages and other immune cells. Loss of TNF signaling causes progression of tuberculosis in humans, and the increased mortality of Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected mice is associated with disorganized necrotic granulomas, although the precise roles of TNF signaling preceding this endpoint remain undefined. We monitored transparent Mycobacterium marinum-infected zebrafish live to conduct a stepwise dissection of how TNF signaling operates in mycobacterial pathogenesis. We found that loss of TNF signaling caused increased mortality even when only innate immunity was operant. In the absence of TNF, intracellular bacterial growth and granuloma formation were accelerated and was followed by necrotic death of overladen macrophages and granuloma breakdown. Thus, TNF is not required for tuberculous granuloma formation, but maintains granuloma integrity indirectly by restricting mycobacterial growth within macrophages and preventing their necrosis.

- Granuloma formation in the liver of mice infected with BCG coincides with local TNF synthesis. Injection of rabbit anti-TNF antibody, after 1 or 2 weeks of infection, dramatically interferes with the development of granulomas (both in number and size, large epithelioid cells failing to appear) and subsequent mycobacterial elimination. Furthermore, fully developed BCG granulomas, after 3 weeks of infection, rapidly regress after anti-TNF treatment. Antibody treatment also prevents or suppresses accumulation of TNF mRNA and protein, which resumes after disappearance of the antibody. Peritoneal macrophages exposed to TNF transiently accumulate TNF mRNA, and show an enhanced increase in TNF mRNA in response to γ interferon. We propose that TNF released from macrophages in the microenvironment of developing granulomas is involved in a process of autoamplification: acting in an autocrine or paracrine way, it enhances its own synthesis and release, thus favoring further macrophage accumulation and differentiation leading to bacterial elimination.

LSU Football: Week 3 Spring Practice Stock Report
By Jake Martin ,
Hands down, the biggest surprise of this spring for the LSU Tigers has been D.J. Welter.
For those who haven't been keeping up with spring football, your immediate response might be, "who?" That's perfectly reasonable because, after all, Welter only has seven total career tackles with the Tigers.
But this spring he's taken on a leadership role, and he's making a strong case to start at the middle linebacker position. As a result, Deion Jones is sort of taking a lighter role.
So as Welter's stock rises, Jones' declines. What other Tigers stock has risen and fallen over the course of the third week of spring ball? Take a peek inside and see for yourself.
The younger guys are stepping up on defense. That's exactly what needed to happen with all of the recent departures.
One of those "young guys" is the junior linebacker Welter. This guy came out of nowhere to contend for that coveted starting Mike position.
You know, the same position, Kevin Minter dominated last season. Talk about big shoes to fill. Well, going into the spring, it was assumed that veteran linebacker Lamin Barrow would move to that middle position for the Tigers.
So far, that doesn't seem to be the case. Welter is having a tremendous spring, and if he keeps it up, he'll likely be the starting middle linebacker for the Tigers in the fall.
Don't get it twisted—Deion Jones will contribute greatly for the Tigers in 2013.
He's too talented for that not to happen. However, right now, he seems to be overshadowed a bit, and Welter's emergence is a big reason why.
The Tigers are absolutely loaded at the linebacker position, and it's easy to get lost in the shuffle. With Welter, Barrow and Tahj Jones serving as leading candidates for that starting linebacker position, Jones is subsequently taking a backseat role.
With other great talents such as Kwon Alexander expected to contribute on defense, Jones needs to get himself back into the linebacker race soon.
Travin Dural has made a lot more progress than expected.
Coming into camp, Dural was not fully 100 percent. He was still recovering from his knee injury that he suffered last summer, so his splash this spring was not expected to be a big one.
Turns out, he's hit a tidal wave this spring. Dural is proving to be one of the more athletic wide receivers on the team.
In fact, on Dandy Don's latest roster, he has Dural backing up Odell Beckham. That's how impressive he's been this spring.
The wide receiving corps for LSU is turning out to be deep.
Unfortunately for James Wright, it's turning out to be too deep. Wright has paid his dues as a receiver at LSU, and though he has never become a primary target on the outside, he has proven to be a steady hand.
He is entering his senior season, so one might think that he's destined to have his most productive season yet. Well, those assumptions might be wrong. Heck, Wright may barely touch the field with the talent surrounding him.
With Dural, John Diarse and Avery Peterson standing out this spring, Wright's chances of seeing the field in 2013 have declined.
Iron sharpens iron.
In Travis Dickson's case, the great tight end battle taking place has certainly sharpened his skills.
Dillon Gordan and Logan Stokes have shown that they can flat-out play this spring, and it's made Dickson a better ball player.
Instead of succumbing to the pressure put on by Gordan and Stokes, Dickson has shined and proven that he's ready to give Zach Mettenberger another weapon next season.
As a fan of Ronnie Feist, I'll admit—I'm a little bit disappointed.
Going into the spring, I went out on a limb and said that Feist would make noise and contend for a starting position at linebacker.
So far this spring, that has simply not been the case. On Dandy Don's depth chart, which is supposed to reflect the results of the spring position battles, Feist is listed as the third-string linebacker at the Mike position.
It's been an underwhelming spring for a guy who dominated "Big Cat Drills" last spring.

Daddy's Girl Part 1
Fantasy, Incest, Male/Teen Female, Romance
Author's infos
Gender: Female Age: 19 Location: N/A
Posted: 2013-06-28
I walked into the house after a boring day at school. Daddy wasn't home yet because he works late so I relaxed on the couch. It was so hot that I had to change into a pair of shorts and a tank top. I also pulled my long black hair up into a ponytail. After an hour, Daddy pulled up to the house and came in. He looked exhausted. It was 5pm and he had been at work since 6am. He works at a law firm and is currently working on a very difficult case. That usually keeps him at the office all day. I go over to hug him and return to the couch. He joins me after putting away his coat and briefcase. He leans back against the couch with his eyes closed. I can't help but scan over his body.
It's embarrassing, and probably inappropriate, but I've been attracted to my daddy for over a year now. I'm 17 now. He's only 36 having had me when he was just a kid himself. My mother, or Tina as I call her, figured having a kid wasn't important enough to stick around. She'd rather get wasted and trip on anything she could get her hands on. I haven't seen her since I was about 3. I don't really remember her. Daddy still keeps pictures of her though. He was heartbroken for some reason. 'You'll never get over your first love' is what he always says. I see the way he looks at me sometimes. He has this sad look in his eyes. Compared to the pictures I have seen, I do look a lot like her. We both have long, wavy black hair and hazel eyes. Our noses are the same as well as our creamy white skin tone.
Daddy is slightly taller than me. He has short brown hair and brown eyes. He's got a slight tan from being pure Italian. His chest is very well toned. And he has the sweetest and sexiest smile. I can't help but daydream about having his strong arms wrap around me like a lover and not like a father. His voice snaps me out of my dream.
"How was your day Sweetheart?" He looks over at me and smiles. My heart melts at this. I love it when he calls me 'sweetheart' or 'baby girl'. I smile back at him.
"It was okay. How was work Daddy?" He sighs and shakes his head, saying something about how the client he has keeps changing his story around. He's afraid he might lose this case. "Don't worry Daddy. You're amazing. I know you can win." He smiles at that and strokes my cheek.
"Thank you Sweetheart. You always know how to make me feel better. Now what would you like for dinner?" He gets up and heads to the kitchen. I follow his lead. We both look around in the cabinets and can't find anything we are in the mood for. We end up ordering pizza.
"Daddy, can we start a movie before the pizza gets here?" I ask him hopefully. I love watching movies with him because we get to cuddle on the couch together, especially if it's a scary movie. He tells me to go pick out a movie and meet him in the living room. I head upstairs to my room to grab a movie and change. I put on one of the old t-shirts Daddy let me have from when he was in college. It's long enough that I can just wear a pair of underwear underneath. I grab 'Saw' and head downstairs. Daddy is already on the couch. I pop the movie in and sit down next to him. He wraps an arm around me and pulls me closer.
"I won't be woken up in the middle of the night to you crawling in bed with me will I?" Daddy says laughing. 'I wish I could crawl into bed with him every night' I blush as I imagine that.
"No Daddy, I'm a big girl now." I say giggling. He kisses my forehead and looks back to the screen as the movie starts. I snuggle closer to him as the movie continues but have to move when the doorbell rings. I answer the door and get the pizza from the delivery guy. I go into the kitchen to get plates for us. When I sit back down, Daddy starts the movie again. We eat in silence and go back to cuddling until the movie is over. By that time, I am half asleep with my head in Daddy's lap. I feel Daddy nudge my arm to wake me. I want to stay like this for a little longer so I pretend to be asleep. He waits for a minute and then I feel his hand start to stroke my hair. I sigh happily and enjoy it. Then his other hand moves down over my shoulder.
"Amy, sweetie, are you awake?" He whispers. I say nothing and a few seconds later his hand moves down farther. Then it stops, like he's thinking. Slowly his hand slides over the curve of my side and rests on my hip. I stop breathing momentarily. What is he doing and why? I'm so nervous but I don't want him to stop. His hand rubs up and down my hip a few times before it starts to slide over my thigh. Unfortunately, he stops and clears his throat. "Sweetheart, you need to wake up. It's getting late." I pretend to wake up and get off his lap. For a second I thought I felt something against my cheek while he was rubbing my hip. But I ignored it. I lean over and kiss his cheek, saying goodnight. He says goodnight and I head upstairs to my room.
I lay on my bed smiling to myself. I can't believe he was touching me like that. What could have brought that on? Maybe he feels the same way that I feel. The only problem is finding out if he does. I can't just go up to him and ask. I laid there for a while thinking of ways to bring it up. Finally I decided on something. I would just pretend like I was scared after all and sneak into his room. I waited until I knew he would be at least half asleep before I got up. I figured I would take off my underwear and bra. Yes, I am an optimist. I head over to his room and open the door quietly.
"Daddy, are you up?" I whisper into the darkness. I hear him move slightly. So I ask again. This time he sits up and looks around confused.
"What's wrong baby girl?" He mumbles sleepily. I walk over to his side of the bed.
"Daddy, you were right, I am scared. Can I please sleep in your bed tonight?" I ask innocently. He thinks it over for a second and nods. Then he rolls back over to sleep. I smile and crawl over him to the other side and slip under the covers. I move close to him and press my back against his chest. He loosely wraps his arm over my side and holds me. Usually this would be normal. But I feel something pressing against my lower back this time. I gasp realizing what it is. But I feel my heart race at the same time. I slowly and quietly roll over to face him. Making sure he is once again asleep, I slip my hand under the blanket and down his body. I stop when I feel something bulging from his boxers.
Biting my lip nervously, I wrap my hand around the outside of his throbbing cock. It feels huge and hard. It twitches in my grip and I look up at him. He is still asleep but I hear a quiet moan escape his lips when I slide my hand up and down a few times. I become bolder and pull his cock through the hole in his boxers. When I grip it this time he flinches slightly. I pause for a second and then go back to slowly stroking him. I am in shock that I am doing this right now. Scared that he might wake up, I put his boxers back into place and begin to roll over. Daddy's arm wraps around me and he pulls me back. I look up at him and he's awake. He whispers in my ear:
"Why did you stop baby girl? That felt so good."

U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) announced on Wednesday, she has introduced legislation that would permanently extend the current ban on Internet access taxes. The Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act (S. 31) would prevent state and local governments from imposing new taxes on Internet access, and prohibit any multiple or discriminatory taxes on e-commerce.
The Internet Tax Freedom Act (ITFA), enacted in 1998, was designed to prevent state taxes on Internet access, to ensure that multiple jurisdictions could not tax the same electronic commerce transaction, and to ensure that commerce over the Internet would not be singled out for discriminatory tax treatment. Congress has extended the Internet Tax Freedom Act multiple times, but the current moratorium is scheduled to expire in November 2014

8/22/11 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | I first went to see Dr. Yu with neck pain that I had suffered with for over almost 30 years that resulted from a car accident. I had been on different medications, tried physiotherapy many times, but the pain would always return. After only a few treatments with Dr. Yu, the pain was gone and hasn't returned. I have since been to Dr. Yu for gastrointestinal issues which she has corrected without harmful meds or invasive testing.

I believe that she was formerly an ER Doctor in China - a neurologist?!? When she immigrated to Canada, her qualifications weren't recognize. Her vast knowledge traditional medicine, of Traditional Chinese Medicine, use of Acupuncture, and years of medical training, combined with her humble, respectful, caring, kind persona, make her a true gem. | Respond |

She is honest in her approach and represents only Traditional Chinese Medicine concepts in her treatments which have effectively improved my overall health. | Respond |

In a number of my recent posts, as well as articles published elsewhere, I have noted that the challenge for income investors is creating a portfolio with substantial yield and acceptable risk that also limits exposure to rising interest rates. There are a number of ways to achieve this objective. In this article, I will present an energy-focused portfolio that meets these aims.
MLPs are an attractive asset class for meeting these goals. They have been remarkably interest rate neutral this year, as well as providing high levels of income. More generally, MLPs tend to have a positive response to rising bond yields. Utilities have historically provided solid income streams but they tend to exhibit negative correlations to rising yields. This is well known - nothing new. In addition to MLPs and utilities, some of the major oil and gas companies have attractive yields. Total (TOT) and Royal Dutch (RDS.A) (RDS.B) are notable examples. A central appeal of utilities, oil majors and MLPs is that their business models are straightforward. They provide for the production, refining, delivery and storage of energy commodities. Their earnings streams are somewhat responsive to economic cycles, but investors are far less dependent on estimates of earnings growth than is typical with most other asset classes. All three of these sectors are worthy of consideration, but the challenge is how best to combine them.
Building the Ideal Energy Allocation for Income
Imagine that we wanted to set out the ideal characteristics of an energy-centric income portfolio. We want high income, but we also want reasonable levels of risk, as well as a positive correlation between portfolio performance and bond yield. If interest rates rise, we don't want to get stuck with a basket of leveraged firms that see their earnings collapse as the cost of capital rises. I would also posit that it is desirable to have a portfolio with a meaningful allocation to highly-liquid near-cash equivalents that could be used to purchase more shares of the attractive firms if their prices should fall. Along with cash equivalents (BIL), I have allowed allocations to corporate bonds, high-yield bonds, and an aggregate bond index.
After some research, I have come up with a portfolio that meets these criteria:
Name | Ticker | Weight | Yield |
SPDR T-Bills | BIL | 14% | 0.0% |
iShares Corporate Bond | LQD | 13% | 3.8% |
iShares High Yield Bond | HYG | 12% | 6.2% |
Energy Transfer Partners | ETP | 6% | 6.9% |
Boardwalk Pipeline Partners | BWP | 6% | 8.7% |
Calumet Specialty Products | CLMT | 6% | 10.5% |
Kinder Morgan Energy Partners | KMP | 6% | 6.8% |
Ferrellgas Partners | FGP | 6% | 8.6% |
iShares Aggregate Bond | AGG | 5% | 2.3% |
Pepco Holdings | POM | 4% | 5.8% |
Linn Energy | LINE | 4% | 9.7% |
Total | TOT | 4% | 5.5% |
Seadrill | SDRL | 2% | 9.5% |
Cheniere Energy Partners | CQP | 2% | 6.1% |
Teco Energy | TE | 2% | 5.2% |
Duke | DUK | 2% | 4.6% |
Royal Dutch Shell | RDS.B | 2% | 5.1% |
Over the past five years, this portfolio has had a volatility of 9.4% (as compared to 15.8% for the S&P 500). My Monte Carlo simulation suggests that this portfolio's volatility will continue to be about two-thirds of that of the S&P500 - about the same level of volatility as a portfolio that is 65% allocated to the S&P 500 (SPY) and 35% allocated to an aggregate bond index (AGG).
This portfolio has a yield of 5.5% and a +20.4% correlation to the 10-year Treasury yield. For a portfolio that is comprised of energy and utility stocks and MLPs, this is a high yield for the level of risk and exposure to interest rates.
As I have noted elsewhere, utilities are not terribly attractive as a sector due to their relatively high valuations (and therefore modest yields) and their negative response to rising rates. Equity energy indexes tend to have a positive response to rising rates, but broad energy indexes have fairly low yields, too. The Vanguard Energy ETF (VDE) has a yield of 1.6% and the iShares Global Energy ETF (IXC) has a yield of 2.3%.
Wrapping Up
It should be noted that most of the attractive properties of this portfolio can largely be achieved simply by investing in an MLP fund such as AMLP. AMLP was launched in September 2010, so its has slightly more than a three-year track record. Because AMLP does not have five years of data yet, we will compare the characteristics of AMLP and the model portfolio over the past three years. AMLP has a robust +29% correlation to 10-year Treasury yield and a 6.2% yield. The trailing 3-year volatility of AMLP is 9.3% vs. 8.3% for the model portfolio. AMLP and the model portfolio have very similar yields relative to their risk levels.
One major distinction between AMLP and the model portfolio is that the model portfolio is 44% allocated to bonds. The bond allocation, with 14% in T-Bills, provides a significant amount of "dry powder" in the event of a market decline and a subsequent increase in yields across energy firms. In addition, we have obtained some exposure to utilities and energy majors with the model portfolio.
For some investors, simply buying AMLP or a similar fund will be the best alternative due to its simplicity and the fact that you file a 1099 at tax time and don't have to worry about the K-1 form required for individual MLPs. For those investors who prefer individual stocks and MLPs and who prefer to obtain their income from the energy sector more broadly, the model portfolio could be more attractive.

Boat Dessert
Last updated by nancy at 2013-11-8
Suzhou Boat Dessert is a part of the sumptuous Wu banquets that used to be served on traveling boats in
Sozhou was known as the "Oriental Venice" due to the rivers and the water canals in the city. Since the boats were the chief means of transportation within Sozhou, boats of all descriptions such as large flat-bottomed junk, lightship, fast boat, touring boat, variety-show boat, etc. used to be plying through the Sozhou city waters. Many of these boats were equipped with kitchens.
Local businessmen, used to take advantage of the exotic surroundings provided by the boats and entertain the businessmen from Wu area by giving banquets on boats. This practice resulted in the boat dishes becoming more and more sumptuous. The Wu banquets, as they came to be called, used to serve cold dish for drinking followed by fried dishes. The dessert used to follow the last big dish made of fish. The cooks knew the psychology of the diners and so the desserts used to be small and exquisite like ornaments on the elaborate feast; the desserts used to be beautiful to look at and delicious in taste. These desserts served on the Sozhou boat banquets had earned fame in their own right as Suzhou Boat Dessert.
