Shares of the largest publicly traded U.S. life insurer fetch around $53, just nine times projected 2014 profit of $5.69 a share and 1.1 times a conservative measure of book value that excludes unrealized investment gains -- a figure favored by many analysts and investors. That book value measure stood at $48 at the end of 2013, while stated book was $53.
MetLife's fans say the stock (ticker: MET), now yielding 2.1%, could top $60, supported by rising book value and higher earnings. It also offers a play on both a stronger stock market and higher interest rates. "MetLife is well positioned for when rates rise. It has a superior international operation that benefits from growth in the developed and emerging markets," says Barclays analyst Jay Gelb. He carries an Overweight rating on MetLife and a $62 price target.
Gelb notes that MetLife's price/earnings ratio of around eight based on projected 2015 earnings is the lowest in the life insurance industry and the company's return on equity is near the industry average at around 12%. There are less than 10 companies in the S&P 500 with a lower price/earnings ratio based on estimated 2015 profits.

"MetLife is one of the cheaper stocks in a sector that is, itself, cheap relative to the market," says Eric Hagemann, an analyst at Pzena Investment Management, a MetLife holder. "MetLife has strong domestic franchises, a growing emerging-markets business, and a solid management team focused on ROE [return on equity] expansion, yet the stock trades at a discount to peers on price-to-book value. We believe this gap will close as regulatory overhang disappears and the company resumes stock repurchases," he says.
One reason the shares of the 146-year-old insurer is so cheap: It's one of only a few large financial outfits not buying back any stock.
MetLife and rival life insurer Prudential are awaiting regulatory guidelines on capital and other issues. It's expected that MetLife will be designated a "systemically important financial institution" like the country's largest banks, but the federal regulators have yet to set these rules for life insurers. The regulations aren't expected until late 2014 or 2015 and conservative MetLife has refrained from stock buybacks -- and it is expected to continue to do so -- until the new rules come out. By contrast, Prudential and American International Group AIG 0.2571166207529844% American International Group Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD54.59 0.14 0.2571166207529844% /Date(1416607267798-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 6493241 AFTER HOURS USD54.59 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1892997 P/E Ratio 8.915418660482436 Market Cap 76421195600.5725 Dividend Yield 0.9159186664224217% Rev. per Employee 1099090 More quote details and news » (AIG), which both have been designated as SIFIs, have been buying back stock.
While most analysts don't see any buybacks until 2015, MetLife is expected to boost its dividend, now $1.10 annually. The dividend could approach $1.50 in 2015, providing a yield of nearly 3%, up from the current 2.1%. The company has made acquisitions, including the purchase of a Chilean pension administrator for $2 billion last year. If the pending regulatory capital rules turn out to be onerous, it's conceivable that the New York-based insurer could separate into two companies, one domestic and the other international, which could put itself below the threshold for which so-called SIFI rules apply.
BEST KNOWN FOR ITS ADS featuring "Peanuts" comic-strip characters and its ubiquitous blimp, MetLife offers life insurance as well as variable and fixed-rate annuities to individuals, and a range of services to employees of big companies, including dental, disability, and group life insurance. In its corporate benefits unit, it offers guaranteed investment contracts -- which are bond-like investments -- to participants in defined contribution retirement plans.
About 30% of MetLife's profit comes from outside the U.S. The insurer bolstered its overseas business in 2010 with the $16 billion purchase of Alico, formerly owned by AIG. The overseas business, including operations in Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Asia is growing faster than MetLife's U.S. business.
It's making progress in meeting financial targets. MetLife hit the lower end of its 2016 goal of a 12%-14% return on equity during 2013 and its earnings mix is shifting away from more capital-intensive activities like life insurance and annuities. The company is seen as capable of generating mid to high single-digit gains in annual earnings.
If long-term rates rise in the next few years, MetLife would profit because it makes it easier to fund fixed-rate products like annuities and guaranteed investment contracts while cutting risk on certain life and annuity offerings that guarantee holders minimum returns. In fact, MetLife is viewed as one of the biggest beneficiaries of higher rates among big financial companies -- MetLife's market value is $59 billion. The stock's movements often track changes in the 10-year Treasury yield with MetLife rising from the high $30s to $50 last spring as Treasury rates surged.
MetLife also is being helped by a stronger stock market since that lifts fees on equity-sensitive offerings like annuities while lessening the risk that it will have to make good on minimum return guarantees on those equity-oriented products.
IT'S A COMPLEX FIRM with complex accounting and an investment portfolio of almost $500 billion, or about nine times its equity base. That makes it vulnerable to market dislocations and indeed, MetLife shares were crunched in the 2008-2009 financial crisis.
The Bottom Line
The stock could be worth more than $60 a share, or about 20% above its recent level, based on rising book value and higher profits. It's also expected to lift its dividend.
Since 2008, MetLife has sought to reduce its business risk and current CEO Steven Kandarian, who took the top job two years ago, has made that a continuing priority. MetLife has stopped selling new long-term care insurance policies -- a business that has stung MetLife and other insurers -- and it has stopped offering a type of universal life insurance that carried elevated risk. MetLife also has pared sales of variable annuities, while cutting the annuity roll-up rate, or the rate at which benefits increase regardless of performance of the underlying investments. This reduces MetLife's risk if equity markets tumble. Variable annuity guarantees were a problem for life insurers during the financial crisis.
It's a plus that Kandarian -- as well as other top executives–have a financial background. One risk with a life insurer is that it tries to sell more products that boost current earnings but expose the company to considerable risk in rocky financial markets.
In a record stock market, MetLife offers a nice package for investors: a rock-bottom P/E and price/book ratio, an attractive global franchise, and a financially astute management team.

Football: Night of doom in Trabzon
Monday, March 10, 2014
TRABZON - The last match of the Turkish Spor Toto Super League's match day 24 played between Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce at Trabzonspor's home ground Huseyin Avni Aker Stadium on Monday was postponed due to Trabzonspor fans' violent behavior against some Fenerbahce footballers.
Members of the crowd repeatedly threw things such as sparklers and bricks on to the pitch during the first half of the showdown forcing the referee, Bulent Yildirim, to postpone the game.
Referee Yildirim had to frequently stop the match over the first 45 minutes owing to the violent acts of the Trabzonspor fans and lastly went to his locker room after a torch coming from the stand behind the goalposts hit the goalkeeper of Fenerbahce, Volkan Demirel. Whilst Fenerbahce players went to their locker room, Trabzonspor footballers waited on the pitch for a while. The referee then announced he was postponing the match for security reasons.
Before the postponement of the game in Trabzon, the score was 1-0 in favor of Fenerbahce after Nigerian international Emmanuel Emenike's goal gave the "Yellow-Canaries" the lead.

It has been almost 2 months since I joined SP and I couldn't be happier. I am not as active as I started but I am still on a good path. The jeans that once gave me a muffin top, are now lose and baggy. I am feeling good and trying to make better choices with my food and how I workout. Thankfully my workout buddy and I are on the same page as far was how hard and how much we workout.
Every day is new and presents its own challenges.
I woke up this morning thinking of my coffee. A habit that I had broken before I went on Vacation. Not that I drank coffee on vacation but that I needed it those first few days back to get everything done. This morning I ate a cupcake (cream cheese frosting) since it was the last of 4 sitting on the counter (I ate 2 yesterday).
It is 7:15am and I am recommitting myself to my healthy lifestyle. I have been using vacation as my excuse and the scale is showing my disappointing eating choices and lack of strength training. I heard my family tell me that I am "looking smaller" and I took that as "I can stop now with my diet" but it is false. No matter what people think of me it is still what I think of myself. I don't care that the people in my life who are overweight and would "kill to look like me" think. They are not me and if they were they would start to make a change.
Since starting spark people a little over a month ago I really put my best foot forward. After evaluating this last week I realize that I am letting myself slip on unhealthy things. I need to really look at my goals and figure out what I want out of life. Today I am going to really focus on what accepts that I want to change. I will start tracking my food everyday again because that is such an important tool to help me not overeat.
I am going to be "recommitting" for one week. Really focusing on my health and getting my diet and exercise back into more than once a day. This week should jump start my healthy habits and slingshot me back on track. This is my life and no one can tell me how to live it, but I am done living it out of breath and tired at 4pm.
One day at a time, stay posted for how this all works out. Its never too late to recommit and push past those old barriers.
It has been awhile since I made an entry and I wanted to let everyone know that my diet is still on track. Last week I was able to get back into the routine of working out everyday. My workout buddy and I tried to progress in our "30 day shred" video but we find level 1 to be our favorite. Not just because its easier (cause its not) but because it has more cardio and makes us sweat. Today we decided that we are going to start trying new videos and seeing where we want to go from here. It has been over 30 days since we started and we are ready for something new.
Time to cook dinner and clean up the house before bedtime. Take care Spark people. Remember that YOU got this, everyday.
We had a great vacation in Southern California, and now we are home. Got home Saturday and spent yesterday vegging and getting unpacked. Today I FINALLY got back into the mode and got right into the route. Did level 3 of the 30 day shred for the first time, but i think it will be back to level 2 tomorrow. My fitness partner and I decided to stay at level 1 extra long until we felt ready to move on, we are still losing weight and sticking to the program so if I am at level 2 for 15 days rather than 10, Go ME! No need to get hurt and possibly lose all our momentum.
Girl Scout cookies are here and I am going to work on self control...being a leader and having 3 CASES of thin mints is a BIG challenge. Thanks to sparkpeople I know know what I am putting into my body and I feel guilty when I eat more then 1 serving. Wish me luck.
Day started super early but I managed to squeeze in my healthy oatmeal breakfast. Too bad the rest of my day didn't do so well calorie wise. I hardly ate since there were too many choices and I didn't want to think about what I REALLY wanted and force myself to order what was good for my diet. I packed Special K bars, chips and a few other snacks for my daughter. I ate a bar and 1 bag of chips for lunch plus half of a churro (which I split with my mother-in-law who is awesome) We walked all day at Universal Studios Hollywood and I couldn't wait to get back to the hotel and make some Romen noodles and go to bed. I was so proud of myself for only eating 1 serving of noodles, the old me would down the whole thing not realizing there are 2 servings per package. Walked up a large flight of stairs while at the amusement park which felt good. I didn't have time to get my 30 day shred video in this morning before leaving so I am going to really push tomorrow. It is almost 8 pm and time for sleep. Good night.

About Albert Geldmacher/Property Manager
We are the first non-heirs to own this property. We purchased the property, several other structures (Butler house, Carriage House, Laundry house, Farm House, Village Farms complex, etc.) and over 550 acres because we are crazy about horses and history. We've tried to maintain the charm of yesteryear while providing updates, also. At Centennial Farms Manor, it's all about enjoying the rewards from a life of working hard. Cheers!
Why Albert Geldmacher/Property Manager chose Sidney Center
Construction began on Centennial Farms Manor in 1914, was placed on hold due to the War, then completed between 1917 and 1920. The widow of Al Bostwick, son of Standard Oil millionaire Jabez Bostwick, remarried attorney Fitch Gilbert, Jr. and they spent summers here, vacationing with her children. One of her children, George Herbert 'Pete' Bostwick, is the most legendary polo player of all time, as well as a tennis champ and a steeplechase winner. We still have the Butler's house, the Carriage house, the laundry house, and the original 'Village Farms' farm-house and barns. We have our Thoroughbred boarding and breeding facility across from the old polo fields. The history of this place is phenomenal. We are the only owners since the Bostwick/Gilbert family to own the place and we have tried to keep the historical charm intact. Please, be our guests!
What makes this estate unique
Solitude. If you'd like to dance through the acres of soft green lawn in your jammies, have at it. You will only have to share the serenity with the deer, the birds, and the trickling brook just across the lawn. Enjoy some peace.

Cristiano Ronaldo
Professional football player Cristiano Ronaldo was born on Feb. 5, 1985, in Funcahl, Madeira, Portugal, and is named after former president Ronald Reagan because he was his father's favorite actor.

It's that time of the year! The city is taking down Christmas decorations and putting up purple, green and gold. It's a very magical and fun time. Being a native and taking all that our city has to offer for granted, we sometimes forget how these traditions are viewed from the outside world. Here is a list of questions that I am typically asked about Mardi Gras in case you are also curious about the basics of the celebration.

The U.S. is struggling under a burden of very serious problems while the senate spends how many hours on the name of a sports team? This is beyond dementia, this is dereliction of duty and treason. When the country implodes, who is going to watch NFL games? How are real Redskins going to live without the constant stream of government handouts and gambling proceeds, courtesy of working people? How are the obamas going to maintain their lavish lifestyle when the U.S. dollar becomes worthless? This is a serious case of not thinking ahead while trying to achieve short term political points that benefit nobody.

The 1 percent's solutionApril 27,2013Economic debates rarely end with a TKO. But the great policy debate of recent years between Keynesians, who advocate sustaining and, indeed, increasing government spending in a depression, and austerians, who demand immediate spending cuts, comes close — at least in the world of ideas.
At this point, the austerian position has imploded; not only have its predictions about the real world failed completely, but the academic research invoked to support that position has turned out to be riddled with errors, omissions and dubious statistics.
Yet two big questions remain. First, how did austerity doctrine become so influential in the first place? Second, will policy change at all now that crucial austerian claims have become fodder for late-night comics?
On the first question: The dominance of austerians in influential circles should disturb anyone who likes to believe that policy is based on, or even strongly influenced by, actual evidence. After all, the two main studies providing the alleged intellectual justification for austerity — Alberto Alesina and Silvia Ardagna on "expansionary austerity" and Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff on the dangerous debt "threshold" at 90 percent of GDP — faced withering criticism almost as soon as they came out.
And the studies did not hold up under scrutiny. By late 2010, the International Monetary Fund had reworked Alesina-Ardagna with better data and reversed their findings, while many economists raised fundamental questions about Reinhart-Rogoff long before we knew about the famous Excel error. Meanwhile, real-world events — stagnation in Ireland, the original poster child for austerity, falling interest rates in the United States, which was supposed to be facing an imminent fiscal crisis — quickly made nonsense of austerian predictions.
Yet austerity maintained and even strengthened its grip on elite opinion. Why?
Part of the answer surely lies in the widespread desire to see economics as a morality play, to make it a tale of excess and its consequences. We lived beyond our means, the story goes, and now we're paying the inevitable price. Economists can explain ad nauseam that this is wrong, that the reason we have mass unemployment isn't that we spent too much in the past but that we're spending too little now, and that this problem can and should be solved. No matter; many people have a visceral sense that we sinned and must seek redemption through suffering — and neither economic argument nor the observation that the people now suffering aren't at all the same people who sinned during the bubble years makes much of a dent.
But it's not just a matter of emotion versus logic. You can't understand the influence of austerity doctrine without talking about class and inequality.
What, after all, do people want from economic policy? The answer, it turns out, is that it depends on which people you ask — a point documented in a recent research paper by the political scientists Benjamin Page, Larry Bartels and Jason Seawright. The paper compares the policy preferences of ordinary Americans with those of the very wealthy, and the results are eye-opening.
Thus, the average American is somewhat worried about budget deficits, which is no surprise given the constant barrage of deficit scare stories in the news media, but the wealthy, by a large majority, regard deficits as the most important problem we face. And how should the budget deficit be brought down? The wealthy favor cutting federal spending on health care and Social Security — that is, "entitlements" — while the public at large actually wants to see spending on those programs rise.
You get the idea: The austerity agenda looks a lot like a simple expression of upper-class preferences, wrapped in a facade of academic rigor. What the top 1 percent wants becomes what economic science says we must do.
Does a continuing depression actually serve the interests of the wealthy? That's doubtful, since a booming economy is generally good for almost everyone. What is true, however, is that the years since we turned to austerity have been dismal for workers but not at all bad for the wealthy, who have benefited from surging profits and stock prices even as long-term unemployment festers. The 1 percent may not actually want a weak economy, but they're doing well enough to indulge their prejudices.
And this makes one wonder how much difference the intellectual collapse of the austerian position will actually make. To the extent that we have policy of the 1 percent, by the 1 percent, for the 1 percent, won't we just see new justifications for the same old policies?
I hope not; I'd like to believe that ideas and evidence matter, at least a bit. Otherwise, what am I doing with my life? But I guess we'll see just how much cynicism is justified.

POU Options for Arsenic
The topic of arsenic has received a lot of press coverage this year, ever since the Bush administration halted the EPA's newly issued maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 parts per billion (ppb). Since then, the MCL was reinstated back to 50 ppb and further discussions and studies have continued. This article will discuss some of these updates.

Tanker trucks loaded with water have become the lifeline for a Texas village that came precariously close to becoming the state's first community to run out of drinking water during a historic drought.
Two tanker trucks for the first time delivered thousands of gallons of water Monday to Spicewood.
Clara Tuma, spokeswoman of the Lower Colorado River Authority, says the 8,000-gallon water delivery arrived after it became clear the village's wells could no longer produce enough water to meet the needs of the Lake Travis community's 1,100 residents and elementary school.
The town uses wells, not the lake, for its drinking water.
The authority says it plans to truck water into Spicewood for several more weeks while exploring alternatives, including drilling a new well or piping water from the lake.

Markets solid despite Fed tapering talkBy PAN PYLAS
THE Associated Press | November 12,2013AP PHOTO
A man walks Monday past an electronic stock board of a securities firm in Tokyo.LONDON Upbeat U.S. economic figures shored up global markets Monday even though there are growing expectations that the Federal Reserve could begin to reduce its monetary stimulus next month.
Shares in the Philippines fell after a devastating typhoon.
Last week, a round of U.S. economic data, including Fridays better-than-expected nonfarm payrolls report, ratcheted up expectations that the Fed will soon start tapering its $85 billion worth of asset purchases.
Some analysts think that the positive response in markets may indicate that the fear of the tapering dominant for much of this year has reduced and investors are now more willing to view strong economic news as a reason to buy stocks.
After all, a growing U.S. economy will help corporate profits.
Equities are not selling off as they have previously, said Craig Erlam, market analyst at Alpari. Maybe the good news is bad news scenario is finally becoming a thing of the past.
Following strong gains in much of Asia outside the typhoon-stricken Philippines, trading in Europe was solid. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was up 0.2 percent at 6,722 while Germanys DAX rose the same rate to 9,099.
The CAC-40 in France was 0.3 percent higher at 4,275.
Earlier Monday, in Asia, the focus was on the Philippines after a typhoon devastated the eastern Philippines, killing thousands of people.
Manilas main exchange, the PSE Composite, dropped 1.4 percent to 6,265.23 as the country grappled with the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan.
Authorities estimated that up to 10,000 people may have died.
But the government, stunned by the scale of the disaster, has not given an official death toll yet.
Elsewhere, investors were also waiting to see if Chinas communist leaders, who started a four-day meeting in Beijing on Saturday, would announce reform plans to bolster the worlds No. 2 economy as it comes under pressure from industrial overcapacity, high debt and surging house prices.
Chinas Shanghai Composite rebounded from earlier losses to gain 0.2 percent at 2,109.47. Japans Nikkei 225 rose 1.3 percent to 14,269.34 while Hong Kongs Hang Seng rose 1.4 percent to 23,059.98.
However, Seouls Kospi dropped 0.4 percent to 1,977.30 and Australias S&P/ASX 200 shed 0.3 percent to 5,387.10.
Trading was lackluster in other financial markets.
Among currencies, the euro was up 0.3 percent at $1.3395 while the dollar fell 0.1 percent to 99.15 yen.

Google Drive for iOS Gains Card User Interface
Article Comments
Sep 5, 2013, 1:09 PM by Eric M. Zeman
Google today updated the Google Drive application for iOS devices with a refreshed user interface. The app now makes use of the card-style UI that Google has spread to a number of its mobile apps. The cards present files in a more attractive grid of thumbnails rather than a list. The app also gains the ability to edit in landscape mode (on the iPhone), copy file URLs, and more easily share files with others. Google Drive is free to download from the iTunes App Store.

A creative option for people who can't draw (or who just want to 'draw' with a camera?) the Photo Comic involves taking pictures of things — either posed inanimate objects, or actual people — and making a comic out of them. In the webcomics world, toys are popular for this. Also became popular in British comics (particularly girls' comics) in the late 1970s and early 1980s; however, it proved unpopular and the ones that didn't shut down (as many were at the time) reverted to drawn strips. Nowadays the best-remembered photo strips seem to be the parodies of photo strips from Viz. Arguably, Photocomics can be done cheaper and with less time consumption than the other popular choice: Machinomics. This is because photos lend themselves well to settings where realistic lighting is in high demand, requiring a lot fewer tweaks than would screenshots from a video game. A variation is the fumetti, which takes the frames of a film or TV show and puts them into comic-book form: See Film Comic. Another variant involves creating scenes in Poser or DAZ Studio and importing them into Comic Life. Not to be confused with GIS Syndrome, where photographs are incorporated into the background.

Sorry, I'm just a bit bored. Question: if you could be ANY Kirby character, who would you pick? Yes, anyone from the series! Please list why as well. I'd want to be Magolor, because he is not only very smart, he is powerful with his magical abilities! Oh, not to mention ridiculously kawaii.
One thing I know for sure: absolutely NO ONE is gonna pick this guy.

Wow, it's been a while since anyone has made a blog post! Anyhoo, the title says what I want. Lately, I've wanted to get into anime. It seems to be really popular at school (9th grade, in case you were wondering), as almost everyone talks about it during lunch. I always feel pretty bad whenever I can't participate in their discussions. Plus, watching and knowing about anime opens a lot of other opportunities, such as being able to cosplay and go to conventions. Anime itself is really cool, and I just feel that I'm missing out. So I would like you guys to give recommendations! However, there are a few guidelines:

I can't entirely recall if this is a big problem anymore, but I believe I have the solution of where Soul of Sectonia appears in relation to the storyline.
Ok, so let's start this off by saying The Arena and The True Arena are not canon. At all. Let's also say the ending of Kirby: Triple Deluxe isn't canon, either.
Keep your cool; let me explain.
Remember how the stalk Sectonia is on collapses after Kirby defeats her initially? And then he does his little dance, whatever. Shortly after, Sectonia grabs him with a vine, Dedede knocks Kirby unconscious and tosses him a Miracle Fruit, yadada...Right, well the canon differs here. Let's say that Sectonia was truly defeated. She collapsed, presumably dead. Kirby does his little dance, and presumably begin…Read more >

Questisbak, villain of Club Penguin Fanon Wiki, has joined forces with every other villain in the Multiverse. The Kirby Universe has been chosen to be a universe connected to the Multiverse! Which means YOU can help write the story of the Multiverse Collision!

Now I just want to hear from you...what would be scary to see Kirby inhale and transform into? It can be any character, but keep it clean, folks. No dirty jokes.

The First Dark Matter, aka Real Dark Matter, had a sad background story, where he only attacked Dreamland because of his loneliness
He also had a sword that he fought with in the first stage of his boss battle, and a pretty cool design
So, how would you guys feel about this incarnation of Dark Matter being brought back in future games?Read more >

So, there's a theory that Shiver Star is actually Earth. Here's some stuff that may indicate they are the same planet:
Earth Shiver Star
One Moon One Moon
Continents Continents shaped like those of Earth

So is it the same Earth as ours? Is it Earth in another dimension? Is it Earth in the future? If it is Earth, how did Earth become completely frozen? What do you think?Read more >

Anyways, I've been kinda iffy on posting this because It may count as wiki advertising but I've made some kirby fanart and made a project out of it. Most of these are just edits of official art but others I made myself. The project is far from done and I'm not all that proud about it, but It would take forever to upload all my fanart here. The project is called Kirby's Dream World btw. Note that I'm probably not making this into a fangame you can actually play on the computer, unless I get some programming skills and such. here they are anyways.

Since I've been seeing a lot of "favorite/disliked things in Kirby" lists (aka "tables") on people's profiles, and because I've been beginning to learn how to make these myself, for everyone's convenience, I've made a free base for these lists! There are 9 rows for the most common likes/dislikes. So, here's how it works
- Go to the URL http://kirby.wikia.com/wiki/User:Skelly11/Freetable
- Click on 'Edit' and then click 'Visual' (if you are not already there), and just add to the base by typing in each row you'd like the object to be, and adding it under either category, depending on if it's your favorite this or that. Say what it is by adding it next to the object, for example, Copy Ability: Sword. Here's an example to make it sound a lot more s…
Here, I want you to post any new copy abilities you have thought up, their powers, and what the new transforned Kirby wull look like,
e.g.(here's one I thought of)
Clone Kirby
Gains the ability to create up to four clones, which act and move like regular Kirby. Special features on the screen (trampolines or crossroads) could split up the Kirbys.
The original Kirby will have the number 1 on his forehead, the first clone has the number 2 and so on and so forth.Read more >
I noticed that there are no pages regarding fictional aspects of the episode Cartoon Buffoon, such as a page for "Fire Dedede" and "Dedede: Comin' At Ya!". I disagree with this. I tried to make a page regarding this, but Vaati the Wind Demon deleted it. I also think there should be a page for "DDD Underground". I know these are minor, but they are still information regarding official Kirby stuff. And in my opinion, a Wiki should contain as much accurate information as possible.
So do you think we should have pages like these?Read more >

Yeah, its been a while since i edited a whole episode. I've been busy with stuff so i had little time to be this wiki, but hopefully now i'll have more time. I'm debating on which Kirby Right Back At Ya! episode that came out recently to give a full summery.

Well, MetaKirby's blog about Marx in SSBB made me want to announce some of my ideas.
He has been in quite a few games, so why not include him?
Tosses a spear doing 6 damage if the stick hits and 13 damage if the point hits.
Spins his spear and runs a length of 4 Bowsers doing 18 damage.
Uses his spear helicopter attack and flies upwards and does 10 damage.
His spears suddenly stab in all directions of his body doing 15 damage per spear.
He becomes energised with green glowing energy for 20 seconds. He attacks 5 times as fast and is twice as fast and his helicopter attack goes higher. It is a good idea to use the down special with this if the opponets are close. Also, the Standard Special will toss 3 spears instead of 1.
Waddle Doo is in pretty mu…

The year is 2040. Mankind has proceeded not much in their technology pursuit. In fact, we're no better off than we are right now, in 2013.
The economy is great, and politics have been greatly reduced (don't ask me how, I'm not from the future). As such, wars have become completley non-existent. The Kirby series as we know it has been destroyed, stopped after the release of Super Smash Brothers 4: FIGHT!, in which Nintendo layed off all the workers at HAL. The event sparked controversy, but Nintendo was firm. No more Kirby.

After reading AdamGregory03's blog on Magolor for the upcoming 'SSB4 WiiU/3DS, I became inspired to create up a moveset for Marx! I think he'd be more likely than Magolor, but oh well. Here goes!
- Marx falls from the top part of the screen, while on his ball. He slips off of it and the ball goes bounding off the screen. Marx gets up.
- Marx enters from the side of the screen, walking.
Marx hops on his ball, similar to the Milky Way Wishes intro.
Marx pratfalls. As tripping has been removed from the game, it is a subtle reference to that fact.
Marx does a backflip, landing on his hat and does a twirl.
Marx looks at the screen and flashes an evil smile.
Marx balances on one foot and does twirls.

Kirby: Right Back at Ya! —
This isn't a game, but I feel I should discuss Kirby's anime regardless. It's okay. I have nostalgia for it, and some parts are downright epic or at least fun to watch. Other parts, well, not so much. Let's talk about it.
Everybody despises the 4Kids dub and instead watches the edgier, profane Japanese version. I was introduced to the show in English, and I stand by my opinion that the English one is just as good. You read that right, JUST AS GOOD. It all boils down to a difference in dialogue, but the difference is not that major.
People say 4Kids made it too kiddy. That's true. But if you're a native speaker of English, you should at least give i…

Yeah. As you can see, they're not doing so well. If anyone else here can lend them a hand, don't hesitate to do so.
UPDATE: The WiKirby domain will expire on August 13th.(cited here) Once again, if anyone can lend them a hand, it's urgent that you do so before it's too late.
UPDATE 2: WiKirby is back on its feet for now, although it's unknown who fixed it, the domain has still not been renewed, and the webmaster continues to be inactive.
UPDATE 3: As you can see in the forum post, WiKirby is moving to a new domain, due to its webmaster neglecting it entirely. Things should be under control for them by the time the move is finished.Read more >
I'll keep this short.
as some of you might know I love Kirby games and I love the Anime that came from it. But my time on this wiki made me realize something. Almost every episode on this wiki is a stub. I don't why this is, maybe when the episode pages were made, ways to view the episode is limted. But right now episodes 1-70 in english can be viewed on youtube and more is on the way! So I really don't know why the episodes are there but know one is using them. I know the anime is not what Kirby is know for, but I think every page on this wiki should be filled with as much infomation and pictures as possible.Read more >

I am getting my Breasts Lifted with Implants...I am currently a 34 B and I want to be a 34 D...Is this possible with an Areola Lift? or will I need a different type of lift (see pics)...if I need a different lift which one is the preferred? and, under or over muscles? THANKS!
Breast Lift with Implants 34B to 34D? (photo)
Doctor Answers (13)
Type of lift
Your photos are very helpful but a definitive answer would require a formal consultation and an understanding of the size implant being used.With lax breast skin the implants should be placed partially under the muscle. I am concerned that your degree of skin laxity will require a more powerful lift than the periareolar to give you an optimal result. The next step up is a circumvertical lift which has the same incision around the areola but a vertical incision from the areola to the breast fold.This will yield a better final breast shape. I do not believe an incision under the breast would be necessary but I would discuss it with you so that there would be no surprises after surgery.
Review these options with your board certified plastic surgeon. I hope this was helpful
Web reference: http://drrobkessler.com
Type of lift
thanks for post. i would prefer to place under the muscle implants for best long term outcome, reduce complications, and natural look.
Your pics show a good degree of ptosis ( sag ). This is NOT a case for the around the nipple lift. I know that is preferred by most patients who want to avoid the vertical scars, but a nipple only lift is only good for a small degree of lift ( typically less than an inch) and often causes the nipple areola size to stretch.
You would do best with a full lift.
remember before surgery:
no smoking!
no aspirin / motrin
avoid birth control pills
avoid any diet supplements
take a multivitamin and eat healthy
eat a high fiber diet: the pain meds cause serious constipation!
Best to you.
Breast Lift and Breast Implants
The breast implants should be placed under the muscle to create better camouflage among other advantages. A full breast lift will provide a much higher, tighter, better projected breast with more superior pole fullness. Find the plastic surgeon with elite credentials who performs hundreds of breast augmentations and breast lifts each year. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Breast implants and lifts
Your photos are at very different angles than what we usually use for surgery. You do need a lift, implants are best under the muscle. Whether an areolar lift alone or more than that depends on an exam in person and also on your expectations. If you want the best shape with a nice conical projectiong breast, a full lift is better but with more scar. If al little flat in the front and baggy in the bottom is ok, an areolar lift might suffice. You could also convert an areolar lift to a full later if needed.
Breast augmentation and breast lift
The pictures are very helpful. In your case I believe periareolar or benilli lift along with breast augmentation will not get the desired result. You need a more effective breast lift technique that be consistent with the level of your breast sagging. That would not hurt to ask for a second opinion.
Breast implants
You definitely need a lift with an implant. You are an ideal candidate for the lollipop version of the mastopexy. I would probably use an implant size in the mid 300's.
Web reference: http://edelsonplastic.com/breast/breast-augmentation/
Peri-areolar lift with stage III ptosis?
Hi Imma,
Thank you for your question and photos.
You seem to have stage III ptosis (breast sagging) from your photos. An areolar lift provides very minimal lift and I would avoid that if I were you. You will do well with a vertical (lollipop) lift in experienced hands. There are pros and cons to going over/under muscle, and type of implant. Going under muscle gives you more coverage to the implant, but only over the top portion of the implant. Going over the muscle (but I would recommend under the fascia or coverring of the muscle) avoids 'breast animation' (lifting and compression of the implants with contraction of the pectoralis muscle). If you were my patient, I would most likely recommend a shaped gummy bear implant under the muscle fascia (but above the muscle) with a vertical (lollipop) lift.
Best Wishes,
Pablo Prichard, MD
Breast lift and augmentation
Thank you for providing the photos. They are not complete but it gives some ideas to your treatment options. Since your are thinking about 2 cup enlargement, a circumareolar breast lift should be enough. In general I like to place the implant under the muscle especially when you are also doing a breast lift at the same time. It's true that the circle lift will not give you as much lift as the lollipop or anchor breast lift but in your situation it's important to determine how much of it lift that you want to have. At the same time, you most likely will need a good size implant to satisfy your 2 cups size increase. Adding a large implant and doing lollipop or anchor lift is filled with risks postoperatively. You are at very high risk for bottoming out with large, heavy breasts. The bottom line is you have to find an ideal compromise. Find a reputable surgeon who is willing to work with you to achieve your goals.
Best Wishes,
Breast Lift with Implants 34B to 34D? (photo)
See my previous answers on the Benelli or areolar lift: this is a poorly-designed operation that does not provide much lift and can lead to severe distortion of the areolas.
You would do best with a vertical or 'lollipop' breast lift.
There are pros and cons to going under the muscle when you are having a mastopexy at the same time.
I recommend you find a very experienced aesthetic breast surgeon to help you get the best result.
Good luck!
Web reference: http://www.vancouvercosmeticsurgery.ca/surgical-procedures/breast-procedure-page/breast-lift/
Breast Lift with Implants
Easier answer is under the muscle. Most prefer this (almost) all the time, certainly for larger implants on smaller breasted women.
And yes, you do need a lift. What type will depend on findings during an in person consultation. An ideal photo from which to evaluate would be a frontal and side view with arms at the side, and none of these are quite there. Lifting the arms lifts the breasts, and the photos don't show the true situation. I do suspect that a consulting plastic surgeon will recommend more than just a periareolar lift--that is a very limited procedure with very limited lifting capacity.
When you are ready for an in person consultation, RealSelf has listings of surgeons in your area. You should consider cross referencing the listings from the The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (plasticsurgery dot org). A listing in the ASPS website assures you that your surgeon is not only board certified, but also is a member in good standing of the major plastic surgery organization in the U. S. Thank you for your question, best wishes.

I just won my first Ping Pong tournament! I beat 1 previously undefeated opponent and another who had only 1 loss. I did it all with the help of the great PingSkills videos.
Here's a picture of me and the other competitors from the University of Memphis. I'm holding the winner's prize, the coveted golden paddle!
Michael Wheeler, Memphis, Tennessee
I have searched the world over for the best table tennis instructions available and in my opinion, nobody comes close. Your explanations, and demonstrations of table tennis techniques through use of videos is excellent. You begin slow and deliberate for the beginner and yet advance to technical details necessary for the high level competitive player. I'm confident that between your guidance and my determination to excel, I will quickly learn all I need to know to become a competitive senior player.

Laurel Springs, NJ
Preparing your child for his or her social and academic success is one of the most important things a parent can do. At The Goddard School, which makes its home in Laurel Springs, uses the F.L.E.X. approach to achieve student goals. This approach helps ensure developmental guidelines are met by using lesson plans focused on the child and what their abilities are. It offers a creative and fun learning environment, and child-centered teachable moments. Math, science, language, and more are presented in a fun and exciting way that helps encourage learning rather than turning it into a boring task.
Located just a half hour drive from Laurel Springs, the Wharton State Forest is a fantastic place to get away from it all. Get out on the water and take part in some canoeing or kayaking. If you are more of a land lover, stretch your legs on one of the numerous hiking trails. The park also has miles of unpaved roads that are great for mountain biking or horseback riding. Be sure to check out Batsto Village located right in the forest. This village is the site of a former bog iron and glass-making industrial center that was active from 1766 to 1867.

In this case, the diameters of the left posterior communicating artery and the P1 segment of the left PCA are almost equal, and the left PCA can therefore be supplied by either the carotid artery or the basilar artery. PCA=posterior cerebral artery.

What Top Life Coaches Are Doing from 6 to 8 a.m
Don't start your day stressing! Experts dish on how they put themselves in a relaxed state of mind each morning.
By Jane Bianchi
Ask yourself one question
As soon as you wake up, assess how you feel about life in the context of the day ahead. Then put your answer on a scale from one — "life is miserable" — to 10 — "I love my life!" This strategy works well for Samantha Sutton, a life coach with the Handel Group in New York City. "If my score is an eight or lower, I schedule a call with a trusted friend so I can vent and get advice," she says. "If my score is a nine or 10, I sit still for 30 seconds and cherish the feeling."
