Laser Hair Removal
The smoothest treatment for the smoothest you
Safe and non-invasive laser hair removal uses a process called photothermolysis, which focuses laser light energy at the surface of your skin, targeting the pigmentation in your hair follicles. The beam rapidly heats the follicle, destroying hair at the root.
Widely considered the most advanced machines of their kind, our Candela GentlePro and Yag lasers safely and effectively treat all skin tones and feature an automatic cryogen spray that calms skin and maximizes comfort.
Laser hair removal works best on coarse, dark hair; it is unfortunately not effective on blonde, red, white, or gray strands. While many clients notice a significant reduction in hair growth after just one session, please note that it takes 6-8 treatments to achieve full and lasting results.
Once your treatment is completed, we recommend carrying a bikini with you at all times. Your body will be ready. You should be too.

My mother died just over two weeks ago and as I have just returned home from her out of town funeral, the family chaos continues. I thought my family would take a breather after the funeral, but I've just been informed that her husband wants to dispose of all her clothes, etc. and clean out her home-office. It's just hurt me more. What's the rush and I know he isn't going to listen to me. Just seems so ridiculous. Not that her things don't need to be dealt with, but right away, two weeks after she died. It seems to me he wants to be rid of all memory of her. I find her things comforting. I was told to come go through her things and take what I wanted. I'm not up to or ready to do that. After a clergy member from my church suggested I let my father go ahead with the funeral plans he wanted out of town, and in a cemetry that is a tourist attraction, to avoid further stress to me and my health, again there is insanity taking place and things occurring that I think are wrong. As far as the funeral was concerned it wasn't what I thought she deserved and what I needed as someone of faith. My brother gave a eulogy with made-up facts in it. My mother and I were closest in my immediate family and I miss her horribly. I'm not sure what I will do without her. She cared about me and genuinely loved me. She was far from perfect, but I knew she was there for me. Especially since I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and became disabled from it. Her death and the ensuing family drama may be the beginning of the end for me, I'm afraid. It just adds to my hurt. I can't seem to get much peace, time to grieve, or much rest. The fighting and insanity thrown at me just adds to the loss of my Mom. It's so wrong. I miss my Mom so much and I still need her very much. Words can't really even describe how I feel. She was the one in our family who was able to deal with the family nonsense. I'm hurting more than I've ever hurt before. How do people get through this? Some don't I imagine.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my Mom 9 months ago. the holiday season has been hard on me. Sounds like there are a lot of family dynamics going on. I agree with you that there is no hurry to get rid of all her things. I put my Moms clothes in an extra closet, and when the time is right for me, I am going to cut them up in squares and make a little quilt or coverlet out of them. I think that would comfort me. maybe you can box up your Moms things and someday do something similar with them. Try to emulate your Mom in dealing with all the family nonsense. That is a way her legacy will go on, through you. I miss My Mom, too. I think of her all the time. She had her opinions on politics and many other issues, and I remark very often how if she was here she would be glad/upset/smiling, etc. it makes it seem like she is somehow still with me. don't try to run away from your sadness or grief. Experience it, it will help lead you through it. Some days you will do great and then other days you will feel like you have taken two steps backwards. It's normal. Hope to keep in touch on here.
I've just read you rpost, so I didn't respond sooner. However, I know that this is a long greiving process, for someone as dear and close as your mom was and is, with you. She is with you still, I do believe that. I also know how painful and wrenching the loss is, and that things will never be the same. From my experience, I will share that it takes some of us a very long time, to begin to make steps in the many layers of adjusting to this monumental change. There is some adjustment, however slow. It is not linear, it comes and goes and sometimes seems worse again. I am thinking of you and your life and your process. I'm glad your mom cared for you and loved you. And I am certain you added much to her life as well. She wants you to live. Hold her close and try to go on forward, in bitsy steps, as you are able. Whatever you have of her belongings, let them wrap you with her love and give you strength. I understand how long and how difficult the family dramas are, that come in the aftermath of such a huge change. Mine went on for far too long as well and added extra greif and pain, like you mentioned. It does eventually subside though. My caring goes out, as well, to the one who answered your post, caring4sd, it is a long slow path, and I hope for you to find peace and comfort as well. I have not found mine yet, but some times I see some progress within myself. Leah
I'm so sorry for the loss of your Mom. I wish you strength to get through it. I wanted to make a suggestion. When you are strong enough, why not have a service either all by yourself, or however you want, and wherever you want, to honor your mother and provide the dignity, respect and truthfulness that you feel she did not get in the original service. It can be you alone out in the woods, it can be you and some friends, it could you a clergy member and you alone in the church or you, a clergy member and a few friends in the church. You can think it over and if you want to do that, then you could figure out how you want it done. I have known of people who have done this because their relative did not get the service they felt they deserved, so they went to their own home area and did a service or even a Celebration of Life type service. Whatever they did, it gave them much peace. Hugs and prayers.
i know exactly what you are going through my mums partner disposed of everything of hers and din't tell us about it. my mums is 3 years gone 21st january. few months after my mum passed her partner told me to leave the home so i am living with my real dad this past 3 years. i am completely lost at the minute without my mum and its not a nice thing for anybody to go through. he also stopped me visiting my little brother and sister so every last bit of my mum i had, my old life has been stripped from me so i basically had to start my life over. i hope you are managing alryt?? life is so cruel sometimes

Potato Latkes
Categories: Appetizers, Holiday, Pancakes, Recipes
Tags: , Allergy Friendly, Dairy Free, Hanukkah, Potato Latkes
I always tell my kids that looks, and names, can be decieving. Latkes fall into this category. Although they really are just hashbrowns with a history, they can look unappetizing to the uninitiated.
Ever a favorite Hanukkah food, latkes can be made of many different ingredients. Originally, they were actually made with cheese. Religious lore has it that Judith fed cheese to the leader of the Jewish enemies. The cheese made him thirsty, and to quench his thirst, he drank excessive amounts of wine. After he was drunk, Judith cut off his head … not very appetizing, but it apparently did the trick back in the day.
Today, latkes are often made with potatoes – usually golden or sweet – and are fried in oil to remind Hanukkah celebrants of the miracle of the single lamp of oil that should have lasted only one day, but instead lasted eight days. This festival of the miracle of oil — or light – is what we now know as Hanukkah, and celebrates the re-dedication of the Temple after the revolt against the Greeks.
Whether you serve latkes in celebration of Hannukah or just for a tasty treat, they are wonderful as a side or a main dish. Serve them with chunky applesauce, chutney or salsa, to accent other flavors in your meal. This recipe, as well as recipes for Curried Sweet Potato Latkes and delicious toppers like Charoset and Mango-Avocado Salsa (both of which pair nicely with latkes!) can be found in my newest cookbook, Free for All Cooking!
Traditional Potato Latkes
2 cups grated gold, white or sweet potatoes (approximately 1 ½ lbs.)
1 small onion, grated
3 eggs, beaten
3 Tbs. Jules Gluten Free™ All Purpose Flour
1 tsp. sea salt
pepper, to taste
1 tsp. dried parsley flakes or 1 ½ tsp. fresh parsley
1/8 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional) or Nutritional Yeast (GF)
high heat oil for frying
Applesauce or sour cream as a condiment
Wash then grate the potatoes in a food processor, with the skins on. Grate the onion as well, then combine.
Stir the beaten eggs with a fork, then combine in a large bowl with the potatoes and onion.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, including the parsley, and slowly stir into the potato mixture until combined. If the mixture is too dry to hold together, slowly add in small amounts of milk. The final mixture should hold together in a pancake shape when scooped into the hot oil.
Pour about 1/8 inch of oil in an electric or deep skillet. Bring the oil to between 375 – 400 F. Drop the potato mixture into the hot oil by large tablespoons, flattening the pancakes with the back of a spoon when in the oil. Cook each side until golden brown, flipping with a slotted spatula after approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the cooked latkes to a plate lined with paper towels. Keep warm in a warming drawer or low temperature oven until ready to serve with applesauce or sour cream, if desired.
The latkes may be frozen once cooked, blotted and cooled. To reheat, cook on a baking sheet at 425 F convection or 450 F static for 15 minutes, turning repeatedly until crispy and hot.
Yield: approximately 15 latkes.

Jaundice Symptoms
What Are the Symptoms of Newborn Jaundice?
Jaundice, also referred to as icterus, is the yellow staining of the skin and sclerae (the whites of the eyes) by abnormally high blood levels of the bile pigment, bilirubin. The yellowing extends to other tissues and body fluids and also may turn the urine dark. Yellowing of only the skin also can be caused by eating too many carrots or drinking too much carrot juice.
The bile pigment, bilirubin, comes from red blood cells. When old red blood cells are destroyed by the body (a normal process), the oxygen-carrying molecule within the cells, hemoglobin, is released into the blood. The hemoglobin is rapidly converted to bilirubin in the blood. The bilirubin is removed from the blood by the liver, modified, and excreted into the bile.

Ultimate Spelling developer eReflect explains in a recently-published blog post that kids with regular sleep routines are able to do better at reading and math, something that was revealed by a 10,000-participant study conducted by the University College of London.
New York City, NY (PRWEB) February 13, 2014
Better performance in reading and math tests is closely related to regular sleeping patterns, a new study by the University College of London revealed. The study showed that children with no regular bedtime didnt do as well as those children reported to have regular bedtime habits. Good sleep habits include both getting enough sleep and starting the sleep cycle at roughly the same time every evening.
When children learn to follow a sleep schedule this helps them optimize their learning during the first critical years of learning to read, spell, and write. Better spelling skills largely depend on the amount of time and effort each child brings to the table, but as the study revealed, having regular bedtime routines substantially improves a childs school performance.
In addition, teaching children the value of scheduling gives them the gradual control they need to take over their daily tasks. When children know whats done when each day, it makes it easier for them to take the initiative and do these tasks without much hand-holding.
Sleeps importance to successful task performance has been known for centuries. This University College study comes in to add another factor, emphasizing that there is another factor to consider apart from sufficient sleep, and that sleep schedules also contribute in increased attention and ultimately a better performance when people learn new things. To help children do well at school, its not enough to practice and have ample time to revise whats learned. Going to bed at the same time each night is also quintessential. In other words, to improve spelling, a child needs not only a good tutor, but sleep to keep their brains robust and learning-oriented.
Although scientists still havent fully understood how sleep helps with restoring energy and amplifying alertness, its significance, especially for younger learners, is irrefutable. Children are keen and fast to learn new habits when theres an attractive incentive or reward presented to them and this can be easily applied when establishing sleep routines. Based on these new findings, eReflect urges parents and educators to teach young learners the importance of sleep and sleep routines for their academic excellence.

After more than 80 years of operation, the Westchester Square Medical Center in the Bronx is on track to be absorbed by a larger hospital group later this month, leaving many community members and hospital employees worried about local health care and jobs. Borough reporter Erin Clarke filed the following report.
For years, Hannah Acampora has depended on Westchester Square Medical Center, a hospital in the Westchester Village section of the Bronx that many say, has a "mom and pop shop" feel to it.
"We feel safe. It's a community hospital," said Acampora, a member of Community Board 10.
"The doctors are very close to their patients. If we have a problem, we deal directly with the attending doctors," said Mary McNulty, a nurse at Westchester Square. The hospital is scheduled to close on March 10. Its assets will be up for auction, but it is widely believed that Montefiore Medical Center will purchase the hospital.
This follows a series of setbacks over the last decade. In 2006, a commission created to cut state hospital costs recommended closing Westchester Square, but the State Department of Health determined it was needed by the community.
"After that, we really believed that we were going to stay open. Everything was going to be fine," said McNulty.
But the hospital was in bankruptcy. Although board members found a way to pay their creditors, the State Department of Health ultimately signed off on the sale to Montefiore.
Community members now wonder what this will mean for them.
"We have so many eldery people and we hear horror stories about the other area hospitals. At Einstein, for instance, the wait time in the emergency room has tripled," said Acampora.
"What you're going to get is no choice of going to any other facility," said Louis Rocco, the founder of the Westchester Square Civic Association.
Then there are the jobs. Nurses say a high-ranking Montefiore official visited their hospital and told them that there is no need to worry about employment.
But a letter from Westchester Square administrators tells employees their jobs will be terminated while Montefiore evaluates its staffing needs.
"After 35 years I have to put together a resume to present to them," said McNulty.
Nurses like McNulty wonders why, with the Bronx having the highest unemployment rate in the state, are they getting fired.
"What they're doing, we have no idea," McNulty said.
Montefiore officials said they plans to keep the hospital open and employ "qualified workers."
Residents say they will continue fighting to make sure Westchester Square stays the way it is.

Hi team,
I am working on this cd-rom and have just reached testing stage for part 1 (of 5). There are lots of interactive activities, video and animations. For the activities, I dont know if I am just too tired but there seems to be items which are visible on my .swf on my computer that sometimes are visible and sometimes are not visible on the cd-rom, also in testing yesterday there sere some activities that seemed to not be working correctly (Althought they perform fine on the desktop version, on a reset of the cd-rom they then seemed to work. Is there anything that I need to take into account for the code being read off a CD to make it more bullet proof? I am stressing out a bit at the Unknown factor- I cannot continue to produce this resource if I cannot guarantee how it will perform in real life?
Any advice?
ok so there is defiately no possiblility of code skipping or not being read properly by the cd.. That's good news. Maybe I will just put it down to tiredness and the stress of a testing with lots of poeple putting the resource thorugh its paces. So basically whatever function (or nonfunction) that I saw, could have been the way the user was interacting- but would definately be the same bahaviour as on the authoring machine. (except for speed of course- I will need to make some preloaders before the end I am sure)

Where Da Gold At?: Iridescent Rainbow Cloud
Note: Click HERE for the full-res version, HERE for a worthwhile closeup, HERE for another, equally amazing example.
Iridescent rainbow clouds: do they rain gold coins? No, not even the ones with chocolate inside. Disappointing, I know. Also: my life. God, can you tell I'm getting depressed? I'm getting depressed. Happy thoughts, GW, happy thoughts. Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams and fairy tales...that's all I ever wanna think about -- riding with the wind. Okay I think that helped a little. At least enough to copy/paste a paragraph, write another one after that, then spend the rest of the evening crying in the back of my closet.
Pictured, behind this darker cloud, is a pileus iridescent cloud, a group of water droplets that have a uniformly similar size and so together diffract different colors of sunlight by different amounts. The above image was taken...by chance by a photographer in Ethiopia.
Damn Mother Nature, you cray-cray. I'm serious, why you gotta make it so hard for a man to be happy? "Don't blame me, human -- it's not nature, it's nurture." Ugh -- well that's a pretty bitchy thing to say!

A 22 year old man, originally from Senatobia, is learning to walk again, on new artificial legs, made for him, at the Methodist Rehabilitation Center in Jackson. He lost his legs, five years ago in a bush hog accident.
Thirty-nine surgeries after almost bleeding to death from having his legs run over by a bush hog, Drew Bouchillon isn't dwelling on the accident that put him in a wheelchair.
"I was praying, I mean you know you think you are gonna die," said Bouchillon. "They ran out there, they saw the tractor running around, they went out there and found me and called the wings to come pick me up."
"Drew now lives in Houston, Texas, but when it came time to get some high tech artificial limbs, he came back to Methodist Rehabilitation Center in Jackson, where he had been treated earlier.
"You know these are just life changing for me," said Drew. "I am very grateful for them."
He is now learning to walk on the new legs that cost more than $60,000 and were made especially for him by Taylor Hankins of Brandon, a certified prosthetist, who works for Methodist Rehabilitation.
"Drew has plenty of potential and really wants to use that potential," said Hankins. "A lot have potential that is under utilized, but he is wanting to take advantage of everything that he has been given."
Drew's goal is to learn to walk unassisted on his new legs.
He has won six gold medals in handicapped competition and he wants to come back and work at Methodist Rehabilitation Center after getting his degree.

Motor Magic and Souris Valley United Way are sponsoring the fourth annual pedal car auction at 12:01 p.m., Sept. 1, that will take place just before the Motor Magic Classic Car Auction at the North Dakota State Fairgrounds. All proceeds from the pedal car event will go to the Souris Valley United Way Campaign and will benefit organizations in the community.
Danielle Cook, Souris Valley United Way campaign coordinator, said that nine pedal cars are in the auction this year. Businesses, individuals and groups purchased the disassembled, primed pedal cars and customized them for the auction.
"There are a lot of great ones," said Cook.
She said Dream Car Customs customized a "super sparkly, girlie" Little Miss USA car and Minot's Finest Collision Center customized a Breast Cancer Awareness Car. Minot High School's automotive technology class customized three of the cars, with a Minnesota Vikings car and a Green Bay Packers car among the creations. Other customized pedal cars include a "modified race car." Dakota Cruisers submitted a classic style pedal car.
She said they're fantastic, one-of-a-kind pieces with a wide range of paint jobs.
Cook said the amount the pedal cars will bring at auction varies depending on the decor.
"It kind of varies," she said. "Maybe one will go for $1,000 and others are in the $300 to $400 range."
Cook predicted that the Minnesota Vikings pedal car could be popular because of the Vikings fans in the area.
Cook said she hopes that there will be even more entries in the pedal car auction next year.
The Motor Magic Class Car Auction is providing the venue for the auction, a state licensed auctioneer, and a state licensed clerk at no cost to Souris Valley United Way.
"In the past three years we've had a lot of success with this auction and we keep hoping to raise even more for the community this year," said Souris Valley United Way Executive Director Patricia Smith.
For more information on the Souris Valley United Way visit (www.svunitedway.com) or like them on Facebook their page. To see the pedal cars, log on to (www.svunitedway.com/2013-pedal-cars).

Meek Mill Disses Cassidy During Radio Freestyle, Says Rick Ross Is Doing "Cool"
Meek Mill revisits his beef with Cassidy during an appearance on Hot 107.9.
The beef between Meek Mill and Cassidy rages on. Just a few weeks ago, the Maybach Music Group rapper said that he was finished with his war of words with his fellow Philadelphia, Pennsylvania native, explaining that he would no longer address the situation because his foe was benefitting from it.
Now, he's gone back on his word. During an appearance on Hot 107.9's "The Q Deezy Show" (via NR), the Rick Ross protege ripped into a freestyle clearly aimed at Cassidy, reigniting his rhymes after several breaks.
"First off, [...] your chick, homie, get a blood test / You a upset homie, where the love at? / When we talkin' 'bout Philly, know I can run that / Same place I been on corners, you could never come back," he raps. "When you was screaming 'Come to my hotel,' homie we was slinging work out the motel ... / Let's keep it trilla, you ain't never make a dope sell / You ain't never played that corner, made a [...] sell."
Meek, who will release his new mixtape Dreamchasers 3 before April, continued by slandering Cass and making light of his car crash that almost took his life. He did clarify that he would not battle him and that the beef was "over."
"Couldn't bet a hundred grand / This [...] small town / This gon' make your dog mad / This verse gon' hit you harder than that car crash that you should've died in / Man that you survived it / Now I came to murder you and have you scuba diving / Swimming with the fishes."
Echoing Wale and Gunplay's earlier statements on Rick Ross following his assassination attempt, Meek said that he's doing fine since he wasn't harmed. "Man, people get shot at every day, b. Seriously, people get shot at every day b," he said. "Yeah, of course [he cool]. He ain't get shot, he definitely cool."
Meek recently dropped his debut album Dreams & Nightmares and is currently gearing up for the release of Dreamchasers 3, the third installment of his critically acclaimed series.

Preparations are continuing for Experience Blue Lake, to be held on Tuesday, July 28, 2009, on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The event will demonstrate "the depth and breadth of everyday activity associated with our programs," according to Bill McFarlin, Blue Lake's Vice President for Development.
Experience Blue Lake, intended to be an annual event, will provide an opportunity for our alumni, supporters, and future campers to benefit from a series of clinics and performances by members of the camp's nationally recognized faculty. The program will include an art exhibition, and sessions of interest to music, theater, dance and art students and educators.

Blue Lake has received a $5,500 grant from the Mary I. and David D. Hunting Family Fund of the Grand Rapids Community Foundation. The grant is to be used for financial-need scholarships for students from Kent County during the 2009 camp season.
The Hunting Family Fund was created in 2002 by the estate of Mary Ives Hunting to make the benefits of the overnight camping experience more readily available to the "underserved" children of Kent County. Blue Lake's grant comes from the Access Camps program of this fund, which will award grants of up to $5,500 each to camps that have significant numbers of participants from Kent County.
Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp will expand both its overall enrollment potential and its opportunities for male campers by opening a new housing unit in time for the 2009 camp season.
The new unit, called Script, will have six cabins—Abbott, O'Neill, Miller, Williams, Simon, Hughes—named after famous American playwrights. It will be located on the far east side of Camp Sousa, in the vicinity of the Canvas and Highlights units.
Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp has been selected to participate in the 17th Annual Detroit Free Press Summer Dreams program. The program raises money for summer camps that, according to Detroit Free Press Vice President Paul Anger, "give kids the experience to change a life and the memories to last a lifetime."
The Summer Dreams program will be launched on Thursday, May 7, with a special pull-out section in the Detroit Free Press profiling participating camps. Each camp profile will include a wish list of needed items, from scholarships to basketballs, and readers can direct support via a mail in coupon or the Summer Dreams website.
Since its inception, the Summer Dreams program has raised more than $12 million, including $9 million in matching funds from the Skillman Foundation. The Skillman program matches each donation on a 1-to-1 basis, until they reach their maximum allotment for the year. Typically, this happens within two weeks of the launch date.

KY Sec. Of State: "We're Ready For Election"
By Tony McVeigh, Kentucky Public Radio
Frankfort, KY – There are 3,550 precincts in Kentucky, with 2,800 polling locations. On Election Day, almost 15,000 poll workers will staff them. Secretary of State Trey Grayson is expecting long lines.
"If you're in line at 6:00 p.m., you can vote no matter how long that takes. We have seen in the past couple of years, those lines have been an hour to an hour-and-a-half, to two hours long, with that many people standing in line at 6:00 p.m.," Grayson said.
Grayson is predicting voter turnout of 65 to 70 percent, which would be higher than the 2004 presidential election in Kentucky. There are now a record 2.9 million registered voters in Kentucky.

Comments about Fresh Kill Kyle Adult Men's Costume:
Pretty good costume overall,but gave it 4 out of 5 because the material is a little cheap up close. From a distance it can be fooled for as being a real suit. another small problem was hair from the wig falls off frequently and can be mistaken as for pet hair.

I drink Guinness daily. Buffet drinks cherry coke and buys coke stock. I figure he has a point, long DEO.
It may not, but it will be a solid bet to beat inflation -- and then some given increasing global demand.
it has a niche market in a tough to break into industry of scotch and will tap into emerging markets in the near to long-term future
Great earnings report..when in doubt, buy sin.
Top brands in a market where consumers are switching from beer to hard alcohol.
christmas will be good for deo
Beer is good for dogs
- People will always drink... even when times are bad

Analysts Debate: Is Diageo a Top Stock?
The Motley Fool has been making successful stock picks for many years, but we don't always agree on what a great stock looks like. That's what makes us "motley," and it's one of our core values. We can disagree respectfully, as we often do. Investors do better when they share their knowledge.
In that spirit, we three Fools have banded together to find the market's best and worst stocks, which we'll rate on The Motley Fool's CAPS system as outperformers or underperformers. We'll be accountable for every pick based on the sum of our knowledge and the balance of our decisions. Today, we'll be discussing Diageo (NYSE: DEO ) , one of the world's top purveyors of alcohol.

Alex's take
At one point in the distant past, Diageo and other alcohol distributors might have been readily lumped into the "sin stock" category with tobacco companies. That link hasn't quite been severed, but it's weaker than it once was. However, the link between mind-altering substances and consistent profits is as strong as ever for segment leaders. Tobacco, alcohol, and even coffee have a hold on their users that isn't easy to break, and Diageo reaps the benefit of that (not entirely healthy) relationship as the world's largest spirits company.
Over the past 10 fiscal years, Diageo's operating margins have remained consistently high, ranging between 26% and 30%. Net margins have been in double digits for all but one of those years thanks to a one-time charge in 2003, and the lowest it's ever been during ordinary times was nearly 17% in 2010. That's not likely to tank any time soon, as Diageo has operations in 80 countries serving 180 "markets" around the world, and I've pointed out in my earlier in-depth analysis of the company that there's a great deal of growth remaining in many of these markets.
All you need to do to see the potential is to look at the preceding table, particularly at sales by region. The two areas with less than a fifth of the world's population make up more than half of Diageo's sales. The remaining areas are already heavily targeted by the company's growth engines, and when it comes to the Asian region (just think of India and China), Diageo is perfectly positioned -- between half and two-thirds of all alcohol consumed in that region is of the spirits variety.
I'll grant that Diageo isn't in the elite-dividend class of tobacco sin stocks, but its total return has kept pace so well with those of tobacco companies enjoying less real growth that it doesn't matter:
DEO Total Return Price data by YCharts
This isn't to say that you should ignore the opportunity in these stocks, but over the long run, Diageo simply has better growth opportunities. Alcohol is heavily regulated, but not demonized as tobacco has been. Its consumption -- particularly of the spirits variety -- has been on the rise over the past few years, in contrast with declining tobacco use in many countries. Thanks to a diverse range of well-known brands, Diageo has that coveted pricing power in a competitive industry, and it also has a distribution infrastructure above and beyond any competitor. I have no problem giving this stock a vote of confidence for the long term, and you can read more about my rationale when you click here to see my in-depth opinion on Diageo.
Sean's take
Diageo is one of those ultimate nice-versus-vice plays. Diageo offers investors the chance to diversify globally into the most affordable legal high in the world: alcohol. Comparatively, alcohol is a vice and, despite a common misperception, not immune to economic downturns.
Diageo has two primary business focuses: its spirits business, composed of Johnnie Walker and Smirnoff Vodka, just to name a few of the many brands in its portfolio, and its beer business, headed by Guinness Stout and including several other brands. The dual focus gives Diageo an opportunity to further diversify its product portfolio both internally and geographically.
Whereas you might think spirits are the quicker "get-rich-quick" investments in alcohol consumption, you'd be dead wrong. Over the past 30 years, wine has drastically gained in popularity in relation to hard liquor, even taking 120 basis points of market share away from beer. That leaves hard liquor producers such as Beam (NYSE: BEAM ) , with its Jim Beam and Maker's Mark brands, Brown Forman (NYSE: BF-B ) , with its lineup of Jack Daniel's and Southern Comfort, and Diageo, in a tough spot of either raising prices to keep pace with rising commodity costs and margins, or keeping prices competitive but suffering on the margin front.
Things haven't been too much better on the beer front, with both domestic giant Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE: BUD ) and Molson Coors (NYSE: TAP ) looking abroad to make deals. With pocketbooks clenched tight as higher taxes and a slow recovery drain the American consumer, Anheuser-Busch took to purchasing Grupo Modelo's international operations, while Molson Coors gobbled up Eastern Europe's StarBev in a $3.5 billion transaction last year to get their share of faster emerging-market growth. Diageo is attempting to find new pathways to growth as well, but it's approaching things from a distilling angle by attempting to become a majority stakeholder in India's largest distiller, United Spirits.
For Diageo, there's a lot to like with regard to its premier dividend, its geographic diversity, and the general inelasticity of alcohol prices. But with regard to three-decade-long decline in spirits purchases in stores, as well as the fact that its organic growth forecast over the next two years is just 4%, I'm not exactly excited, either.
You can read a much more thorough analysis of my take on Diageo here, but ultimately, I'd consider Diageo a stock to buy, although I'd rather wait for a pretty sizable pullback to $90 before pulling the trigger.
Travis' take
While Sean is seeing a decades-long pullback in demand for liquor, I've seen plenty of evidence that high-end liquors are on the rise. Maker's Mark had so much demand that it tried to dilute its product before a PR backlash forced the company to go back on its plan. Scotch exports from Scotland are up 87% over the past decade, and this is showing in Diageo's 8% organic growth in strategic spirits. Anecdotally, I'm seeing more whisky bars, tequila bars, and high-end Scotches on the menu around the country as consumers begin to trend toward these drinks.
Liquor isn't a recession-proof business, and consumers are willing to trade down in bad times, but it's not a business that fluctuates a lot year to year, either. When you hold strong brands such as Johnnie Walker, Crown Royal, Bailey's, and Hennessy, you're also a step ahead of lesser brands with less distribution power. I think that gives Diageo the kind of competitive advantage I want in a stable industry.
The stock's value at 18.6 times earnings is only marginal, but this isn't the kind of business you get cheap. Still, I like the 2.3% dividend yield and think we continue to see strong enough growth that the stock can outperform the market. For a more in-depth look at my analysis of Diageo, click here.
The final call
With two in favor and one opposed, it looks like we'll be raising our glass to Diageo today. We do have concerns over the stock's valuation, but these are allayed by Diageo's superior market position and distribution infrastructure. There are not a lot of dominant liquor brands, and Diageo controls more than perhaps any other publicly traded company. All told, there are more reasons to buy than to sell, which is why we'll be making an outperform call on our TMFYoungGuns CAPS page as soon as possible. We're beating the indexes by about 400 points right now, and we're hoping that Diageo can push our outperformance even higher.
Premium spirits for every occasion...
Time to invest in europe
Power house with a lot of the top brands. Very safe, very enjoyable. Drink up!
Acquisitions and subsequent projected revenue growth place DEO at a huge advantage. Expansion and acquisitions in emerging markets ensure outperformance.
Well managed company and fairly recesion proof

Dane County Parks and the City of Fitchburg hosted a public information meeting in August of 2012 to solicit ideas and gain feedback on a proposal to create mountain bike trails within the Lewis Nine Springs E-way west of Seminole Highway. Dane County Parks and Capital Off Road Pathfinders (CORP) have since prepared a draft mountain bike trail layout plan that is now available for review.
A public information meeting to review the draft concept plan will be held on Wednesday, August 7th, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. in the Prairie View Room at the Fitchburg Community Center, 5510 Lacy Road, Fitchburg, WI 53711. For further information about the upcoming meeting, please contact Chris James, Dane County Park Planner at 608-224-3763.
On April 12, 2013, Dane County Parks staff met with bicycle advocates and representatives from local units of government to share plans for future bicycle improvements and upcoming bicycling events across Dane County.
On March 27th, 2012 County Executive Joe Parisi met with bicycle advocates and representatives from local units of government to share plans for future bicycle improvements and upcoming bicycling events across Dane County.
The 2010 Bike Dane Executive Summary Report represents six months of hard work from the bicycling community across the county. The planning process began in July of 2010 and included several working group meetings throughout the remainder of 2010. Contact Chris James, Park Planner at 224-3763 or email@example.com for questions about this report.
Dane County recently completed construction of the Ice Age Junction Bicycle/Pedestrian Trail. The off road paved bicycle pedestrian path is nearly 2 miles long and extends from the McKee/High Point Road intersection south to the Military Ridge State Trail parking lot area. Off road bicycle use on natural surface hiking trails is prohibited between Cross Country and McKee Roads. Dogs must have a Dane County dog permit and be on leash at all times along the trails.
The Madison Area Metropolitan Planning Organization has produced a map of Dane County that is especially useful for bicyclists. You can download it at the link below.
Bicyclists who use the Capital City Trail primarily for commuting may be eligible for a subsidized pass. Check the statement form below for more information.

► The human HDP-containing protein, PF4, is an antimalarial component of platelets ► PF4 kills malaria parasites via lysis of the parasite digestive vacuolar membrane ► Drug-like HDP mimics (smHDPs) have the same antimalarial mechanism as PF4 ► Lead smHDPs show potency in murine models of malaria
Plasmodium falciparum pathogenesis is affected by various cell types in the blood, including platelets, which can kill intraerythrocytic malaria parasites. Platelets could mediate these antimalarial effects through human defense peptides (HDPs), which exert antimicrobial effects by permeabilizing membranes. Therefore, we screened a panel of HDPs and determined that human platelet factor 4 (hPF4) kills malaria parasites inside erythrocytes by selectively lysing the parasite digestive vacuole (DV). PF4 rapidly accumulates only within infected erythrocytes and is required for parasite killing in infected erythrocyte-platelet cocultures. To exploit this antimalarial mechanism, we tested a library of small, nonpeptidic mimics of HDPs (smHDPs) and identified compounds that kill P. falciparum by rapidly lysing the parasite DV while sparing the erythrocyte plasma membrane. Lead smHDPs also reduced parasitemia in a murine malaria model. Thus, identifying host molecules that control parasite growth can further the development of related molecules with therapeutic potential.

Real leadership, something sorely missing in this country.Former President George W. Bush said Wednesday that he has no regrets about waterboarding Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, saying that, if presented with the same opportunity, he'd "do it again."
Bush made the comments in reference to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks who was waterboarded after his capture, during a speech to the Economics Club of Grand Rapids in Michigan. The remarks were first reported by the Grand Rapids Press.
"Yeah, we waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed," Bush said. "I'd do it again to save lives."

George W. Bush: I'd Waterboard Khalid Sheik Mohammed Again To Save Lives
2 comments:
- Anonymous2:44 PM
There are several pieces of this short piece that you should be aware of.
The first is that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, is the 'ACCUSED' mastermind of the 9/11 attacks. He has yet to be given a proper trial and convicted of a crime. Such is something for which the foundation of the great and blessed American judiciary system is based upon. Secondly, I am interested to see how quickly you would admit to having gay sex with your father when waterboarded multiple times. Considering the fact that when tested upon CIA operatives, waterboarding has elicited a response within 14 seconds, my guess is that you would last 5.
Blind faith in partisan beliefs are the downfall of our country. Think for yourself, please and understand that "liberal terrorism" might actually not be as destructive as you may think. Liberals do not believe that Obama is forever right in what he says, for many times he is wrong.
