20 Investments: Annuity
What Is It?
You can think of an annuity as another way of saying "annual payments". An annuity is a series of fixed-amount payments paid at regular intervals over the specified period of the annuity. Most annuities are purchased through an insurance company.
A "deferred" annuity means that the series of annual payments will not begin until a later date. This is popular with retirees because they can defer taxes until annual payments are received. An "immediate" annuity means that the income payments start right away. Some annuity contracts are good for life, so if you live long, then the insurance company must continue to pay you. The insurance companies are basically betting that you will die before the full value of the annuity is paid out.
There are two distinct types of annuities:
Fixed Annuity: This means the insurance company makes fixed dollar payments to the annuity holder for the term of the contract. This is usually until the annuitant dies. The insurance company guarantees both earnings and principal. This is a fairly good financial instrument for those looking to receive a fixed investment income.
Variable Annuity: This means that at the end of the accumulation phase the insurance company guarantees a minimum payment, and the remaining income payments can vary depending on the performance of your annuity investment portfolio. Annuities allow you to invest in a managed portfolio of stocks, bonds, money market funds, or any combination thereof. The performance of this portfolio determines the annual payment you will receive.
Objectives and Risks
Annuities are often forgotten by individual investors, partly because people are unaware of their benefits. Annuities are advantageous for those looking for a relatively low-risk investment with a decent rate of capital appreciation. Deferred annuities allow you to enjoy the benefits of compounding without worrying about the tax implications.
The risks involved with annuities are fairly small compared to those of other investments because your investment is heavily regulated by the government. It is a good idea to ask the company from which you purchase an annuity if the company is insured - not all of them are. One precaution: annuities allow you to withdraw your principal, but you may be subject to stiff penalties.
How to Buy or Sell It
Annuities are offered by most insurance companies, banks and brokers. The minimum investment for an annuity is typically $1,000 plus purchase fees. These fees can range from a load to an annual management fee that can be a maximum of 1.5% of your total investment.

Hat World Reviews
I worked at Hat WorldPros
This job is best for someone of little experience who won't have much to compare it to. If you can stand the personal attacks this job is a great first management position. Benefits are very good, as you would expect from a large company. Medical, dental, vacation and 401k opportunities are fantastic. The men who stayed this company are fantastic and I hope one day they really see what is being done with their company.Cons
This company does everything possible to encourage turnover in personnel. It is rare to have anyone stay for very long. District Managers change every few months, no stability whatsoever. Don't expect to hear any positive feedback, negative reinforcement is the order of the day. You do well, you hear bad. You do bad, you hear the same bad. Knowing that you can never do enough makes it hard to go to work each day.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Respect your employees, don't just say do...nobody buys it. If someone does something well, Let them know, especially your younger employees as it will do wonders for their happiness and therefore productivity. Establish some stability in your markets. The constant changing of DSMs never lets anybody get into a rhythm, inconsistency is what this constant change brings.
I could go on. Lastly, while fun, watching VPs get over-inebriated and carried out of special events is just downright embarrassing but explains most of the above.

Results tagged "station"
COMMENTBy John Biggs
Transport for London is planning to close nearly all Underground ticket offices, including Canary Wharf, as the world uses Oysters and other contactless tickets.
It says there will still be staff on stations to assist passengers and few of us will notice the difference.
If you're hearing Damon Albarn's 'woo hoo' from Blur's Song 2 at Canary Wharf Tube station then you're not alone.
One commuter has put a mash-up of the Brit pop hit - and the ticket barrier's cameo - on YouTube.
Here are the latest pictures from inside Canary Wharf Crossrail station as the six storey development takes shape ahead of the planned 2015 opening.
Woolwich will have a fully-functioning Crossrail station after a £54million funding deal was agreed.
Transport for London (TfL) and the Department for Transport (DfT) confirmed procurement for the fit-out can now take place in preparation for opening in December 2018.
A teenager was forced onto the tracks after he was robbed by a gang at Greenwich railway station.
The 17-year-old victim from Plumstead took the dangerous action after four men attacked him and stole his mobile phone while he was waiting for a train.

Love It!
Jennifer from Horsham, PA– Verified Buyer
I needed something small for my kitchen...this was perfect and a perfect price. My five year old likes to sit at the table while I'm in the kitchen cooking.
Breakfast 3 Piece Dining Table Set
patty from sheridan, OR– Verified Buyer
I'm a 62 years old lady and put this together by myself so anyone could do it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the design. I wish they had designed it with the drawers at the ends. That way you could have it against a wall and put the table all the way up. Then you could have the stools underneath the table and not have to lean over so much and still have access to the drawers.
Real happy with table.
Cynthia from Alabama
It's a fine table set. The stools were a bit hard to put together, but the table itself wasn't too hard. I wish it had lock in wheels at the bottom, it'd make it a little bit more handy. It's still pretty easy to move around though. One of the stool tops had a misprint in the pattern grain, but it's no big deal because we sit on it. It is awesome though. My grandkids love it, I love it, and we've been real happy with it.
Great for small kitchens
Dana from Rockford, IL– Verified Buyer
This set is great for really small kitchens. I am currently using it for additional counter space and it is wonderful. Construction is good and it was easy to put together.
easy assembly
Kelly from Rochester, NY– Verified Buyer
the assemblyinstructions were easy but some of the screws went in difficult so be careful not to split the wood in those spots.
jessenia from new york, NY
This breakfast table set is great for the money. It is a good fit for my small kitchen. My kid loves it because she has a place to sit and color while I prepare meals. My guests also like it for the same reason.
mary from woonsocket, RI
My granddaughters, on behalf of their Nana Mary, assembled the table and chairs with little or no problem. The directions were well written and diagrams perfect for the eye to visualize. Super product! Also, fastest delivery I ever received from any company, mail order or local. Go Boston!

Metro raises hiring standards
Send this to a friend
- Sarah Krouse
- Staff Reporter
Metro is raising its hiring standards for all jobs, including vehicle operators and safety-sensitive positions.
The move, announced Wednesday, follows a string of reports of employees reading, sleeping or using cell phones while operating vehicles as well as a July 31 incident in which a train passed five stations with 10 cars -- two more than would fit on a platform. A worker that helped assemble the train later tested positive for drug use.
The policy change comes as a much-needed image boost for the system in a summer plagued by accidents including the June 22 Red line collision that killed nine and injured over 70 riders. Two more recent deaths came on Aug. 9 when a gravel-spreading machine hit and killed a track spotter near the Vienna/Fairfax-GMU Metro station and Tuesday when a subcontractor working at a Metro bus garage was electrocuted while wiring an air compressor and later died.
The new hiring standards disqualify applicants for frontline positions who in the last three years had moving violations for careless or reckless driving, driver's license suspensions or revocations, a history of driving under the influence or more than two points on their license.
Applicants that have been convicted of violent or sexual crimes, a felony or at least two misdemeanor convictions for drug possession or other crimes will also be disqualified.
Under Metro's previous policy, misdemeanor convictions were considered on a case-by-case basis and decisions on past drug-related convictions were made based on an applicant's efforts at rehabilitation.
The policy didn't address careless or reckless driving and only disqualified applicants for two felony convictions in three years or three felony convictions in 10 years.
Those not applying to operate vehicles have fewer restrictions. They are disqualified for any felony conviction or two or more misdemeanor convictions in the last five years.

Arguing with Malarchy
Carola Luther
Categories: 21st Century, Gay and Lesbian, Women
Imprint: Carcanet Poetry
Published: July 2011
216 x 135 mm
80 pages
Publisher: Carcanet Press
Also available in: eBook (EPUB), eBook (Kindle)
And all the while the old-fashioned business
of ordinary fury and the stubbornness of love
could be said to be moving
through our conversations,
as if these were our labouring fingers
drawing imaginary thread through the unnamed
and invisible fabrics of the sky...
from 'Making Peace'
Arguing with Malarchy is full of voices. Tender, sinister, sad or cantankerous, they compel us to attend to their realities, the glimpsed depths of their stories, the distances they have travelled. Carola Luther's poems are alert to the ways a life can be briefly snared in the turn of a phrase – or in the moment when language fails. She explores silences, absences, the unspoken communication between animals and human beings, the living and the dead, and the boundaries between what is remembered, forgotten or invented.
In the book's first part, a chronicle of mourning creates 'the bare threads of tunes' out of what is lost, and begins a new story. In the second part, Luther's characters live in their language; 'Keep talking,' the old man tells Malarchy. We travel through elemental landscapes of sea and sky, shadows and wide savannahs that exist beyond language and sustain when words are silenced.

John Stossel: Freedom was the big loser in last week's election
Democrats won big last week. So government will continue to grow. Individual freedom will yield.
At least some people with records of supporting liberty were elected: Sen. Jeff Flake in Arizona and U.S. Reps. Justin Amash and Kerry Bentivolio in Michigan and Thomas Massie in Kentucky.
Also, Washington and Colorado voted to allow any adult to use marijuana. (But users beware. Your newfound freedom may be short-lived thanks to that extraordinary human being in the White House - you know, the one who smoked pot when he was in school. Despite promising that he wouldn't, he has cracked down on pot dispensaries far more often than President Bush did.)
And voters in Maine, Maryland and Washington said yes to gay marriage; Minnesota defeated a proposed constitutional amendment that would have outlawed it.
That's the good news. But overall, the results were bad for freedom. As P.J. O'Rourke says, we need to "fix" government. By that, we mean "fixing" government the way we neuter a cat or spay a dog.
When it comes to foreign policy, we must teach our politicians to stop making messes in other people's yards. At home, they should stay out of our bedrooms.
Term limits would be good. When we give politicians power, they should know they don't get to keep it forever. They have to bring that power right back to us and drop it at our feet. "Good boy. Now go back outside!"
Sadly, President Obama's swooning fans don't want to tame politicians. They don't even seem to think much about freedom. We attended Obama's victory party in Chicago (we go so you don't have to) and asked his supporters what Obama's reelection means for freedom. People reacted as if they didn't understand the question.
"Freedom?" one asked.
"Um, yes, I have no idea," said another.
It's not on their radar, and that's upsetting. Some wouldn't know freedom if they fell over it. To many, "freedom" means getting the government to force women's employers to pay for birth control.
Sorry, that's not freedom. That's force.
Obama's supporters seem to think it's enough to put this extraordinary man in office. After that, he will take care of everything. Spare us the details.
"Obama is a classic example of this cult of the presidency," said David Boaz of the Cato Institute. "But the idea that any politician can just fix the problems in society - that there's some magic there - that doesn't start with Obama. It goes a long way back."
Leader-worship is unbecoming a free people. But are we a free people today? I mean psychologically. Years of government impositions change people. At Obama's celebration, people didn't mention freedom, but they sure mentioned handouts, like taxpayer-financed higher education. It's as if their attitude is: What can government give me? They don't realize that "free stuff" only seems free because the real cost is hidden.
"When you have a $3.6 trillion federal government, that money will absolutely benefit some businesses. That's crony capitalism. It takes money from all of us and gives it to some," said Boaz. "Maybe a clean-energy or green-jobs company that has not already gone bankrupt might get that money. Similarly, if you're a defense contractor, you'd be in favor of Mitt Romney getting elected, because that would be good for your business. But it's all bad for the American economy to tax some people and then dole the money back out."
My hope for now: gridlock. People say they like bipartisanship, but bipartisanship usually means politicians conspire to take more of our money and freedom. Bipartisanship gave us the Department of Homeland Security, TSA, PATRIOT Act, Import-Export Bank, war on drug users, ethanol subsides, TARP, No Child Left Behind, foreign wars and an ever-rising debt. When Democrats and Republicans come together, they put us deeper in debt.
Let's have some gridlock!
The outcome of this election is a sea of government with a few islands of freedom. Gay people are freer in a few states, and marijuana consumers in a couple more. But sadly, most of us will be victims of the ever-growing government spider web of higher taxes and freedom-killing rules.

Surveillance Video Shows 11-Year-Old's Bike Stolen From Outside Elk Grove McDonald's

ELK GROVE (CBS13) — A bike burglary was caught on surveillance video as an 11-year-old's prized possession was stolen.
The bike was a gift from Bryan Garcia's mom and was something he said he worked hard to earn by bringing his grades up. But less than two weeks later, it was stolen.
The 11-year-old got his dream bike 12 days ago.
"Sometimes the seat is lowered so it doesn't get in your way if you do tricks in the air," he said.
But on Wednesday, that dream was shattered when his bike was stolen.
"I flipped it over so the handle bars were right here and then the rest of it was laying right there," he said.
Bryan and his cousins were riding around an Elk Grove park. He says they got hungry and stopped by a McDonald's. Surveillance video from outside the restaurant shows Bryan leaving his bike inside.
Next, a man appears—at first his black car with red stripes is parked in frame. But he returns on foot, grabbing the bike and then riding away.
It was only eight minutes from when Bryan leaves his bike outside to the moment it's gone and the video shows him walking into the parking lot, dumbfounded, looking around for any clue.
"I worked hard to save up for the bike and it's not right," said his mother Florita Duran.
She had saved more than $400 to buy the bike.
"Please return my son's bike," she said. "That was his reward for working hard."
A police report was filed, and the family is hoping anyone who recognizes the man in the surveillance video or the bike will come forward.

I began photographing Youth Conventions in Michigan back in 2008 just as my business was beginning. Youth Conventions offer a unique set of shooting circumstances that push both me and my cameras to our limits. The ever changing light, the movement….most often photographing high movement in barely existing lighting…make for a challenge I'm always willing to take on. After all, what could be better than photographing a weekend where teenagers seek after God with their whole hearts. The passion I capture at these events make it all worth it for me. Catching passionate real life moments is simply the best.

There seem to be many Yuki threads recently. Why not add another one? This time she's up against It (Pennywise) in its true form. The fight takes place in the Deadlights. Yuki Nagato is from The Melacony of Haruhi Suzumiya and It is from IT (this is the book version being used). Will the Universe be saved, or ended?
@Vongola_Primo: Yeah, he'd probably take it. I was just guessing earlier when I said Guts.
@Vongola_Primo: HST are higher than island level though.
Last I checked, Discord is only star system level, Yuki is Universal+.
@GeneralVan: Medaka's All Fiction works at 120% capacity, 20% greater than Kumagara. Obviously she's stronger.
@SekiryuuteiDxD: Misogi and Medaka can use All Fiction on themselves as a defensive. Misogi used it to erase his own death from being possible. Medaka didn't explode the Moon; she completly blinked it out of existance in an instant.
Medaka erased the Moon with All Fiction, blitz faster than light and copy any power she's seen.
Is this the show version of Zeruel or the movie version?
Pictures I already do, so that's no issue. It's not always relevant to state where they are. If they have a special realm they reside in or if they gain power from the elements is one thing, but having to say where a fight between most characters is irrelivant. Deadpool and Deathstroke are obviously going to be able to fight each other, you don't need to say how many metres away they are. For something like TTGL vs Pyron, it's obvious that the fight will be in space. HAving to write down their mindset is annoying. Battles are something people like me do for fun, and these rules are making it boring.
One Punch Man, mark my works.

But I just don't know how it makes any sense right now.
Is Brad Richards a hell of a player? Sure. But do we really want that cap hit? Are we really a Brad Richards away from competing for a Stanley Cup? I just don't think a move for a top center does ENOUGH to put us in a position to compete for a Cup rigth now.
And the way I see it is that in order to acquire that center, we'd have to surrender younger, valuable roster players (which we can't afford to do and almost simultaneously negates the move for the center), or we're going to have to have to give up top prospects and early draft picks. Neither of which this organization can afford at this point.
I don't mind the structure of the team. If they're really going to give Stepan a look in camp, great. Is he ready? Probably not. But what the hell. I'd rather sit tight with what we have and keep building then take a step back and sideways by doing what I mentioned above.
Are we that good of a team right now? No. But we're not that bad either. Just be patient, and stay the course.
2 edged sword. patience or missed opportunities ?
in our haste to make sure we dont move yutes for vets, we tend to overvalue the kids and that isnt a recipe for success either.
if the right player is available, and that player makes us better now and in the future, you make the move. when it comes to making deals, if it means you surrender young players to get better.... you do it.
keeping all the kids sounds great, problem is.... it could guarantee us being mediocre for long stretches. im not down for that at all.

Quinnipiac men's ice hockey beats Dartmouth
Quinnipiac goalie Dan Clarke made 32 saves as Quinnipiac beat Dartmouth 2-1 against Dartmouth at High Point Solutions Arena at TD Bank Sports Center Saturday.
"Clarke has looked good in practice lately," Quinnipiac head coach Rand Pecknold said. "He was great tonight. He made some huge saves."
The Bobcats (14-9-5, 6-6-4 ECAC Hockey) scored their only two goals in the first eight minutes of the game. Three minutes in, sophomore Connor Jones scored the first goal of the game, assisted by junior Zach Davies. The next goal was scored on a power play by junior Ben Arnt, assisted by senior Yuri Bouharevich and Davies.
"I wasn't really sure if that was a game winning goal or not, but it was being in the right place at the right time," said Arnt.
Quinnipiac scored all five goals this weekend in the first period. The Bobcats are in sixth place in the conference, three points behind Colgate and Harvard, which are tied in third place.
The Big Green (9-10-4, 6-7-3) answered the Bobcats with a goal of their own in the third period. With 6:18 remaining, sophomore Eric Robinson scored his team high 10th goal of the season off a tip.
Dartmouth almost scored their first goal of the game on a penalty shot. With 8:10 left in the second period, Clarke made a huge save to his left against Big Green junior Mark Goggin.
"I was just trying to make him use the first move and it worked," Clarke said. "I was thinking if he was gonna come fast, he was gonna shoot it and if he came slow, he was gonna make it soft."
Quinnipiac's next game will be the first of four straight road games as it travels to Canton, N.Y. to take on St. Lawrence on Friday at 7 p.m.

Switzerland's Free Outdoor Gyms
I ran hill repeats yesterday. I've not done that for a long time and in keeping with my nicknames for other workouts I think I'll call that session "The Reaming". Today my body said 'no running' and I listened, but I'll be damned if I'm going to spend the whole bloody day sitting here like a melting blancmange.
I've been looking into different training programmes for my next marathon training phase, and I might give FIRST / Run Less Run Faster a try. This one has you running fewer miles but running much higher intensity workouts and faster pace. In between it prescribes cross-training, and so I thought I'd go do a bit of cross-training today instead.
So I took my bike out. I ride rarely these days as I just don't enjoy it as much as I do running. I recently got a new bike – it's a Charge Plug 1 – a single speed effort which I've set up with a freewheel. I did try fixed gear and almost fucking died. It's good though, simple and solid and riding round here is great with no gears. The landscape is all drumlins so it's a constant undulation and without gears you get to work quite hard but in short bursts.
I rode it out following one of my regular running routes through the moorland north of where I live and then I remembered the "Vita Parcours" in the forest up there. It's an exercise circuit made up of various bits of wooden outdoor equipment, each of which has a sign suggesting which exercises you can do on them. There are 498 of these throughout Switzerland, with a combined course length of 1119km.
Now I've never actually seen anyone using a Vita Parcours, despite them being all over the place, well maintained, unvandalized, and free to use. I run through there a lot and I've yet to witness somebody actually getting it on.
I had a go.
The first obstacle I tackled was a log laid down on the ground, with smaller logs coming out of it at right angles along the length. The idea is to jump forwards over the smaller logs and sideways over the main log. Some kind of plyometric hopscotch thing. Harder than it looks, but not too taxing – I give that one a 6/10.
The next one was a sort of fence thing with cross bars at different heights. The exercises suggested here are inclined push-ups, either regular (facing down) or kinky (facing up). I've done the limbo through these on a hash before. I had a go at both official exercises and because I'm really shit at bodyweight exercises and anything upper-body I found this one hard. I guess that means I have to do it more, right ? 4/10
Moving on, there were more logs. This time laid out in a sort of children's adventure playground interpretation of a railway track. It's another plyometric jobby, this time you have to do two-footed frog-jumps over all the horizontal log sections. I think with a bit of practice this one could be really good – you know, if you lift your knees right up and jump high. I'm not so advanced yet. 8/10.
And finally the last one I tried (and there are many more I either have not found or didn't try) was a horizontal pull-up bar. There are 3 exercises described. One is 'hang off the bar and breathe slowly for 15 seconds'. I tried that one, and my hand hurt – I'll try again with gloves on some time. The next one is pull up 'up' position and hold it. Finally actual pull-ups. This is my nemesis as my upper body strength is less than that of my 2 year old son. I gave it a bash anyway – I guess I need to stick at it. 2/10.
All in all it suits me better than a gym but I know it's probably not as effective. I'll try and do it once per week and then at least the local councils can rest easy knowing at least one person is actually using these things.

The Amazing Arden is the most famous female illusionist of her day, renowned for her notorious trick of sawing a man in half on stage.

Yes, I was one of the people who thought Alomomola would be an evolution of Luvdisc, but I also believed that Emolga would be an evolution of Pachirisu. In fact, I was almost sure of it.
I also used to think Cloyster evolved into Gastly, as that 'pearl' in Cloyster looks just like Gastly, and plus they're right next to each other in the Nat Dex.
When I started playing Pokemon and saw Mew and Mewtwo for the first time, I thought Mewtwo evolved from Mew, so it always puzzled me that Mew was no 151 and Mewtwo no 150.
So my mistakes through the ages:
-Farfetch'd evolves to Doduo;
-Plusle and Minun are linked to Pikachu in some way;
-Skarmory is something like a new legendary bird;
-Latios and Latias are related to Lugia in some way;
-Blue Shellos is the Lapras baby;
-Alomomola is Luvdisc evolution;
-Deerling is the Stantler baby;
-Bouffalant isn't Tauros evolution but is related to Tauros and Miltank (for example they could have a common baby such as Tyrogue);
When Gen II first came out, I thought Remoraid evolved into Mantine, since in the second Pokemon Stadium game for Nintendo 64, Mantine is shown with a Remoraid under its fin.
And in the original games, I thought that the Dratini line ended with Gyrados instead of Dragonite, because I couldn't imagine Magikarp ever being useful at that time XD
I used to think Poochyena had a 3 stage evolution line
Poochyena - Mightyena - Absol
They look similar anyways...
"Octillery from Remoraid? What?" (me, eleven years ago)
Also, for a long time I thought Slowking was a Slowbro evolution, instead of a parallel Slowpoke evo.
Ah, and back in my earliest memories about Pokémon, in 1998-99, I heard Pikachu had an evolution called "aichu" or "raichu" or "(random letter)aichu", but I'd never seen one at that point. My cousin got a Pokémon toy and I got excited because I thought it was that "enigmatic" Pikachu's evolution... actually it was Eevee.
Ah, and at some point I ate the Pikablu hoax, as a Raichu evo.
I thought Magcargo might evolve into Torkoal. And I remember that some people theorised that Gligar would evolve into Drapion before D/P were released.
I thought Shellos would evolve into Lapras who would evolve in Gastrodon.
I totally thought that Plusle and Minun had something to do with the Pikachu line, perhaps alternate evolutions for Pichu. Also thought that Latias and Latios had to be related to Lugia, and Pachirisu evolved into Emolga. And add me to the Luvdisc -> Alomomola list.. still hoping for a connecting middle stage.
When Marill first came out, there was this confusion that Marill was named "Pika-Blue", and that Pikachu evolves into Marill if given a Water Stone or something. I, of course, was one of the innocent victims who tried to get a Marill in that way.
There was this rumor that Articuno evolved into Lugia, and Moltres evolved into Ho-oh. I didn't believe that, though.
For the longest time, I thought that Slowking evolved from Slowbro. *facepalm* I think that's about it, though.
I use to think pinser evolved into heracross

Ah finally, an exit
Looks like some sort of space station.
The Lions Head is one of many power-ups.

Do you walk this dog or ride him?ReplyDelete
Glad the previous comment explained. I can't see photos and didn't know if George was a python or a basketball player? LOL. Is the dog yours? BJReplyDelete
No, this adorable little pup is not mine. I wouldn't mind having him though. He is a blue Great Dane and is a contender for a world's record. He sleeps alone in his own queen size bed and lives in Tucson. My big baby gets to sleep in a queen size bed, too, but with me. George weighs in at twice as much as mine at 245 lbs.ReplyDelete
What a beautiful baby... I would love something like that.. but my pom would freak out....lolReplyDelete
"adorable little pup"ReplyDelete
That leaves adorable little dead batteries the size of a terminal moraine. What do you use for a pooper-scooper ... a bulldozer?
"George measure 7 ft. 3 in. from nose to tail"ReplyDelete
Yes, but how big is the dog?
Annette: They are sweet but they are prone to tumors and don't live very long.ReplyDelete
Octo: I can't imagine scooping up after these guys and gals. The smell alone would bring me down. Mucking after horses is much more pleasant because they eat grass and have no by-products. In other words, it doesn't smell so crappy.
dmarks: He is 43 inches tall from paw to shoulder and eats 110 lbs. of food a month.ReplyDelete
How long would it take him to wolf down a cut of Babe the Blue Ox!ReplyDelete
I don't care how big this dog is. What are his politics? He looks liberal.....ReplyDelete
dmarks: maybe about 3 minutes?ReplyDelete
Vig: Of course he's a liberal. He's a smart dog.
