The Bharatiya Janata Party�s economic resolution has steered clear of a single tax like banking transaction tax and instead pitched for simplification of the fiscal regime. But it has criticised the retrospective taxes of the government which it claimed delivered a �body blow to Indian and foreign investor confidence�.
It has also come out in support of the Reserve Bank of India saying, �the government tried to pass the buck on the RBI for its own failure� to control inflation. While it does not accept there is any need to expand organised retail including foreign investment, it accepts that inflation is a supply side issue.
�Instead of addressing the supply side issues to arrest inflation, the government continued with squeezing the demand and investment by raising the interest rate for 17 times,� it notes. The resolution passed at the national executive committee meeting of the party will be expected to be fleshed out more as the party bids to form a government in the general elections later this year.
The main element of the paper are criticism of the slowdown because of what it calls policy paralysis and also makes a striking point that the government is cooking its data. �For the first time the reliability of government data is being questioned,� it adds.
Commenting on the paper public finance economist DK Srivastava, Chief Policy Advisor, Ernst &Young said the objective is �welcome but the diagnosis seems to be a bit incomplete�.
According to him what is needed right now is increasing the domestic savings. It will be crucial to lower the interest rates and expand investments which will in turn spur growth. �The next government also needs to cut down on its consumption expenditure and revenue deficit,� he said.
Expanding on the theme BJP president Rajnath Singh on Sunday highlighted concerns over the slowing economy and said that issues of laggard industrial output, a high current account deficit, spiraling inflation, complex tax regime and low investments in infrastructure must be taken up head on.
�The wheel of country�s development which was moving at a pace more than 8 percent during the NDA regime has now slowed down below 5 percent� Today most of the large economies in the world are �reviving�, the Indian economy facing the problem of �surviving�,� he said at the same meeting.
In a welcome comment, Singh�s panacea for the ailing economy included developing the bond market to attract investments into infrastructure,

Headlines are blaring about the 1.6 million 40″ Sony Bravia TVs getting recalled for fire and smoke risk, but they're overlooking a key fact. The recalled models were only sold in Japan. No recall has been issued in America. However, there are 400,000 models that were sold in the US that contain the same component that prompted the Japan recall. Here are the Sony Bravia TV model numbers you should check to see if you have. [More]

Sony Rips Off Artists For New Bravia Campaign
They say there's no new ideas in advertising, but after seeing the latest ripoff routine, where Sony Bravia totally jacked an independent artist team's work for their new ad, we disagree. They do have one idea. It's that it's totally okay to blatantly steal other's work, repackage it, and get away with it. But we've got to wonder, what are these firms thinking? If consumers discover the cut and paste job, isn't that a pretty negative backwash on the client they're supposed to be promoting? Or do they figure, hey, it's just a few thousand internet geeks and artists, they don't have any money anyways, who cares, let's snort some more coke off the copying machine glass?

How is your semester going so far?

Week 4 of my semester will start on Monday, and I have really enjoying my classes. However, I am already falling behind in reading my textbooks! This going to school thing with two babies....ok, a baby and a 3 year old...isn't easy!
|Fri, 09-14-2012 - 12:53pm
So far, it's been OK. It's a lot of busy work. Because they're DL courses, there's not much guidance. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to get some study time in.
|Sun, 09-16-2012 - 2:27pm
I have two exams on Tuesday that I have not completed the readings for yet, so I am struggling to get that all done, plus re-reading my notes from lectures, reviewing the study guides, etc. I'm hoping that I can get it all done between today and tomorrow! And that I don't fall behind again like this!

Brownlow Medal opinions and markets fluctuate wildly after injury ends Gary Abletts year
- From: News Corp Australia
- July 09, 2014
BRACE for a Brownlow count like no other.
As previously unbackable favourite Gary Ablett was ruled out for the season yesterday, markets and opinions fluctuated wildly as to whether the Gold Coast skipper would hang and take home Charlie for a joint record third time in September.
And as the dust settled on a tumultuous five days since Ablett's shoulder was dislocated, Collingwood skipper Scott Pendlebury was the punters' new fancy with the TAB slashing his odds to $2.75.
But the big mover has been Swans spearhead Lance Franklin, in from $81 a fortnight ago to just $17 last night after 27 goals in his past seven matches.
Ablett, who will miss seven home-and-away rounds, must defy history to win the medal with only two players — triple Brownlow champs Haydn Bunton and Ian Stewart — having missed four games and gone on to win.
TAB spokesman Adam Hamilton said Ablett had been the shortest-priced favourite ever in Round 16 when he was $1.60 to win last Friday.
"We're certainly not ruling out Ablett, but history is against him winning now," Hamilton said.
Working in Ablett's favour is that many pundits' choice as favourite in his absence is ineligible with Fremantle midfielder Nathan Fyfe controversially suspended for a bump in Round 2, while red-hot Cat Steve Johnson is also out of contention after a Round 9 infraction.
Past Brownlow winners were split on whether Ablett could hang on.
"It has now become a race again, but Gaz is clearly in the box seat. Particularly with Fyfe his most likely rival being ineligible, I think he might have enough," 1988 champ Gerard Healy said.
"He's probably got close enough to 25 votes already and that's enough to win a majority of Brownlow counts. And even if he doesn't hang on this year, I fully expect him to win a third medal because he's got plenty of good footy left in him."
Hawthorn champ John Platten won the 1984 Magarey Medal by a large margin despite having missed three games during the SANFL season.
"If he missed three or four you'd think he'd have enough, but with this many it's a tough one for him," Platten said.
The 2002 hero Simon Black thought it was one challenge too far for Ablett.
"It would be a remarkable effort, but no, I don't think he can," Black said.
"I know he's been in the best (players) a lot, but his teammates have been really good around him this year, too. Maybe they've pinched a few votes.
Black's former Lions teammate Jason Akermanis said it was unfortunate timing, but said he wasn't surprised that footy's physicality had finally taken its toll on Ablett.
"He's such a super player ... but I'm a little surprised something hasn't happened to him before this with how physical the game has become. He'll be right (next year), but it's hard for him now," the 2001 winner said.
Gary Ablett ($1.60 ... $3 ... $6)
Scott Pendlebury ($7 ... $3 ... $2.75)

The Killing Review: The Voiceby Sean McKenna at . Comments
The Killing Season 3 certainly seems like a far darker tale than when it dipped its toes into the Larsen case.
Perhaps a lot of that has to do with the revealing look at the seedy side of Seattle, full of abandoned, neglected teens looking to score their next fix or provide a sexual service in exchange for money... heck even some food.
It's a far departure from the corruption of politics and games played by a more elitist crowd when it involved Darren Richmond and those connected vying for the seat of power. Rather, these street kids are fighting to survive in a world where it seems like family, police and the city have left them to fade away into the mist that hangs over the land.
Except it's clear how these teens are easily taken advantage of because of their lack of power, no matter how much bravado or big talking they express.
Twitch doesn't seem like the greatest guy to like, and yet this episode really makes you feel something for him. Not only does he essentially get raped by his "probation officer," he falls back into drugs to cope, and then winds up getting the crap kicked out of him because he stomped on the wrong turf.
Thankfully, the episode didn't go into overload on the teen focus. It's still the least interesting aspect for me when given a choice between that, Ray Seward or Linden and Holder trying to put all the clues together. But the show is doing a good job of making those shorter focused moments work.
Really, the hour put a slow down on clue discovery (which is fine) and attempted to focus some more time on the characters involved in the current situations and predicaments they face.
Seward is still something of an enigma, especially when his grins make you think he's either happy or ready to bash someone's face in. I enjoyed the conversation with his fellow inmate and was a bit surprised when Seward chose to take the medicine to stop the guards from beating the prisoner. I was expecting him to spit the pill out after the guards had left.
It's weird in the sense that aspects of his upbringing and his mindset want to make him a cold and resilient man,(he destroyed the tattoo that connected him to his son.) Yet moments shine through that establish that he does have some semblance of good, however fleeting.
That concept of whether he is innocent makes every action or thing he says that much more interesting.
As for Linden and Holder, those two keep inching closer and closer back together. I'm not sure if Holder's partner is jealous or just has it out for Linden, but I loved her fantastic burn by telling him he was in the way.
Similarly, watching them raid the hotel and finally getting info out of their victim connected to the the videos and potentially the murders was a great use of their teamwork. It's like riding a bike for these two.
But, man, I can't believe Linden was able to keep herself so composed when it came to speaking with Kallie's mother. That woman is horrible in regards to any care or concern. It makes you really wish those teens had someone, anyone, who could care for them enough to get them off those streets.
Ultimately, "Head Shots" left us with a few possible suspects. Now whether any is the murderer remains to be seen, and of course, there's always that red herring waiting to swoop in at the last second.
The prison guard is an interesting possibility, given the history with Seward. Apparently, he's going on late night romps that isn't work or hanging out with friends for a night of bowling and beer. Although he's a good nemesis for Seward, I think that's not necessarily the direction the show will go. I just wonder what he's doing in his spare time.
Goldie seems least likely to be connected besides having the videos of the girls. A bold stunt that put him on TV makes him look more like a small fish in this big pond, but his actions with Bullet have yet to be reprimanded.
Which leaves the big discovery Linden and Holder found, the cab driver, and boyfriend of Kallie's mom. Signs point to "yes" as him being the voice on the other end of the video. But is he connected to Kallie's disappearance? Is he connected to the murders? Or is he a set up for a twist that proves he plays a minor part in the grand scheme of things?
Just who is the "Pied Piper?"
I'm kind of hoping that we haven't met the actual killer yet and instead will run into them closer to halfway through the season.
Conceptually, I'm still on board for The Killing Season 3. I like the slow burn of the series as long as it finds ways to be entertaining through its characters or the story arc it chooses to tell. And the case remains compelling in that it adds to that dark element of the show and hasn't fallen into a trap of stringing us along but instead has been leading us in the right direction.
This was a decent episode to keep The Killing in it's fresh new form and just the next step towards slowly pulling all the clues together.

@Elissa - You are right Elissa, I went back to look. I guess I got the two mixed up. Thanks for seeing that!
@Watches... LOL! #5 is so true. Worse mother situations here than even Disney movies have.
3. @Elissa is right; the boyfriend is the taxi driver, not the parole officer. 4. I was already expecting mom's boyfriend to be a Bad Guy, so I wasn't surprised when that turned out to be true. Could he be The One? They're arresting him next week, so either he isn't or he's going to get out on a technicality. 5. This show does not like mothers. Linden is a terrible mother. Michelle Forbes' character was a terrible mother. Kallie's mother is beyond terrible. It's not all that keen on adult women, either. Some of the show's worst Bad Guys are women, like the native American cop who abused her girlfriend, and Aunt Terry, the person who actually killed Rosie.
1. A very good episode, perhaps one of the best since the early days of season 1, like the one where they raided the mosque. It was not an episode with no new clues. We got the link between a dead girl and the videos, a link between a live girl and the videos, and the name of the video guy. 2. I still like Bullet. Lyric is still a loser and a user and pretty damn stupid, but, yeah, he has become more sympathetic. Not sure why intentionally getting his ass kicked helped him deal with being raped. 3. I liked the dialogue between Lyric and his P.O., where Lyric was about to give the P.O. a blow job but objected that he "wasn't gay" when being told to pull down his own pants. Then the P.O. said "I'm not either." It doesn't really ring true for white guys today, but in the past giving a blow job didn't necessarily mark a man as gay (or bi) and in some cultures a man who penetrates another is not considered gay. 3. @Elissa is right; the boyfriend is the taxi driver, not the parole officer. 4. I was already expecting mom's boyfriend to be a Bad Guy, so I wasn't surprised when that turned out to be true. Could he be The One? They're arresting him next week, so either he isn't or he's going to get out on a technicality.
I'm liking this whole season more and more after each ep. The chemistry between Holder and Linden, especially in comparison to that between Holder and his new partner, is terrific! Yeah, great moment when Linden told him he was in the way. I think she said what a lot of viewers - and Holder - have been thinking since the first ep. The sarcastic way the two of them (Linden and Holder) discuss what's going on in their private lives holds a certain charm.
I didn't think the P.O. and the mom's boyfriend were the same person either. I expected them to be, but when I saw him in the last scene, I thought they were different people.
Are we sure that the Boyfriend of Kallie's mom is also the Parole officer? I didn't think the parole office had a mustache.... I thought the boyfriend of Kallie's mom was also the Taxi driver that gave Lyric a sandwich and tater tots as payment for some 'favors' she gave him. It made sense to me since he seemed to be someone they all trusted to an extent.

UAB MSN- what is the workload like - page 2
Hello All, This is my first post on allnurses.com! I am a nursing student that is very much interested in continuing my education and pressing forward after undergrad and applying for graduate school at UAB Fall 2011. I am... Read More
- 0Jun 8, '11 by CCRNDivaQuote from UMAshtangiSo you don't get any help with finding preceptors? I applied to the ACNP program and although I have good relationships with the docs who come to our unit, ACNPs are pretty much nonexistent in my area. I've heard great things about UAB's program but I'm concerned with my ability to have a strong clinical experience. I'm willing to commute or even travel if I have to but it would make it a lot easier if they have some contacts in place. I would like to relocate for school but I need to sell my house first.Erin:
So far I'm enjoying the program. To be honest, I'm not finding the pharm and patho any more difficult than my undergrad. It feels more like a review of undergrad.....and a few new things I pick up along the way. I've decided to bust my hump over the summer in an attempt to graduate a semester early.
The biggest issue I can see with the program is finding clinical instructors. If you're well connected in your home area it might not be a problem. I think I might just go to B'ham for a few weeks to knock out the clinicals in one swoop.
What concentration are you applying for?
- 0Jun 13, '11 by jkRN223Hi all! I'm applying for UAB FNP for fall 2011. Does anyone on here live in the Bham area? I'm actually relocating for family/school reasons even though it is distance accessible. Does anyone know if they are able to find preceptors for you in the Bham area? I'm definitely not well connected there, so am kind of worried about that...
- 0Jun 19, '11 by JSoupyERnurseI too am waiting on my accetance status. I talked with the program's admission staff prior to last week and they told me that the acceptance committee was meeting last week and that they would be reviewing applications and making their decisions. This process was supposed to be completed by the end of last week. So....at this point we should be looking for our letters to be arriving in the mail at any time between now and the end of the month. Hope this helps and good luck to all of us!
- 0Jul 3, '11 by UMAshtangiErin: You get some basic pointing in the right direction; however, when I spoke with a big-wig in the department before applying they made it sound like they had peeps all over the place, and would place you with them. Not so in my case....I would rely on your own contacts, and then if the school can help you it's a bonus.
- 0Jul 7, '11 by JSoupyERnurseJust curious if anyone has gotten a letter yet. I keep reading every week that the letters will be mailed by the following week and I'm beginning to wonder if that "by next week" is ever going to come. Seems it keeps getting pushed back.

CMA CGM high-yield bonds dropped sharply in Europewan trading on Wednesday after it reported a lower-than-expected liquidity figure, and reports circulated that it may breach some of its loan agreements.
The French ocean carrier's 325 million euro 2019 bonds with an 8.875 percent coupon have fallen more than 40 percent since their launch in April, and are currently bid at 57 euros, according to Tradeweb.
The bonds have fallen 17 points since Monday and dropped approximately four points after the statement, one high-yield investor told Reuters. The bonds dropped by 10 points on Tuesday after a French media report said the company is at risk of breaching a covenant on its loans at the end of the year,
The bonds have underperformed in the high-yield market since their launch, dogged by a series of negative headlines including an antitrust probe, concerns about possible U.S. sanctions over its trade with Iran and a weak industry operating performance.
The privately owned carrier said Wednesday that its liquidity stood at $675 million at the end of July, excluding cash proceeds from on-going disposals and any potential further investment from Turkey's Yildirim Group, a figure that the investor said was lower than expected. A spokesman for the company declined to give any more information than what was written in the statement it issued Wednesday.
"You have to go right back to the beginning to when the bond was first done. People got full allocations initially, which meant they could not add to their position and which offered no technical support whatsoever," said the investor, who still owns some of the bonds but has reduced holdings significantly.
"In addition, you had to believe in the story that freight rates would hold up. But we are in a very different world now. Freight rates have gone down and the company is being squeezed," the investor said.
Its bond was managed by left lead BNP Paribas, along with Citibank, Deutsche Bank, Natixis and Societe Generale.
"CMA CGM closely follows the performance of its bonds in the secondary market and is taking the current poor performance very seriously," the company's statement said. "While our operating environment is difficult and volatile, we believe that we are prepared for such market conditions," it added.
A high-yield syndicate banker familiar with the bond deal said, "It's been a perfect storm for the company, and not something that could have been predicted. There has been everything from weak sector performance, an (EU) antitrust probe about price fixing, fears about U.S. sanctions and Maersk adding capacity to one of its main routes. Shipping is a leading indicator on the economy and the next big data flow will be at the end of August when the company announces results."
The European Commission antitrust probe also involves other shipping firms including Germany's Hapag-Lloyd and Moller-Maersk.
CMA is expected to report second quarter results later this month, and said last week that it expects to stay in the black this year despite pressure on freight rates.

TV Guides
Such pundits as EA, Helmetz and No Underwear helped supply enough Internet gossip for Tom O'Neil to compile his best-guess list of Emmy finalists this morning.
O'Neil breathlessly declares that, "assuming all of it is accurate," the list proves the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences' new voting system gives lower-rated networks a fair shot at the gold. "Grouchy TV critics might even jump for joy" to see some of the finalists, such as Jason Lee's lead-acting nomination.
Honey, we've seen TV critics. They don't jump. Not for joy. Not for anything.

There is nothing more sacred than providing for the health of your children. Keeping children healthy is pretty much the same as adults. The human body is meant to keep a balance of health when proper nutrition and health is provided to it. Nothing is more devastating to parents as when their children become ill and simple common sense home cures do not take care of the disease. Most challenges with children under age 8 are related to their bodies developing strong immune systems. The Naturopathic physician will help parents bring into balance the body with supplements, herbs and treatments that do not compromise the immune system.
One of the main challenges that parents have to face nowadays is the constant tendency for allopathic medical doctors to treat their children with antibiotics. The Center for disease control is even concerned about this and did an education campaign trying to educate parents to the harmful affects of this "habit" or treatment for viruses which is common in America today. Your children for the most part do not need antibiotics and if they do they need to have their intestinal tracts re-inoculated with proper probiotics that will help their immune systems build up their strength and the flora in their bowels return to normal stasis. When antibiotics are given for simple colds and flu's this frequently is the beginning of a long childhood of consistent colds, flus, coughs and general ill health that can often lead to allergies and worse.
I love treating children and have experience with raising 4 children of my own, all now young adults in their twenties. Naturopathic physicians do not believe in vaccinations, except for tetanus. None of my own 4 children have been vaccinated. They have never received any antibiotics for your average colds or sore throats. They would once a year get a cold or cough but this was never all of them and never every year. These "illnesses" are not part of a healthy family. Healthy bodies do not get ill.
When young children go to school including pre-schools will become more exposed to more illnesses and if their immune systems are not strong they will most likely be prey for disease. Our own children were homeschooled until ages 10-12 and they did not have consistent exposure to a wide range of disease that would wear down their own immune systems. In that sense we were lucky. Our children remained for the most part healthy. An unhealthy child was a rarity.
When I see and treat children I want to leave them with an experience that is empowering to them and fun. I use puppets to model to them what I will be doing and then ask them if the puppet can help me with asking them questions. It can be quite fun. Going to the Dr. should not be a traumatic experience.

Big fat Asian wedding
posted by Sheenie on Blushers, Daniel Sandler, Eye pencils/eye liners, Eyeshadows, Eylure, Foundation, Hourglass, Illamasqua, Lipsticks, Make-Up, Primer, The Body Shop
Weddings are fun but big fat Asian weddings are something else – bold, bright and larger than life. I make no apologies for being bias here – Asian weddings blow other nuptials out of the water. Outfits are colourful and sparkly and make-up and hair is on the point.
This Easter I saw my friend tie the knot and it was a privilege to be part of the momentous occasion. Good food, cake and everyone – and I mean everyone (aunties and uncles the most!) – was on the dance floor before the main course had been served.
I bought my dress from a designer called Aamir Baig in Karachi, which I absolutely love. I was a tad nervous about what to do with my make-up because it had to compliment the outfit and that meant bold eyes and lips. I was worried that with one false move I would look like a tranny.
My beloved Hourglass liquid lipstick Icon served as the perfect red shade. Daniel Sandler's Watercolour Fluid Blusher in Glamour added a flush of colour to the cheeks and Illamasqua's Gleam in Aurora acted as a highlighter. For the base, I went for Illamasqua's Skin Base in No12 in partnership with Hydra Veil.
For the eyes I blended Avon's Supershock Gel Eyeliner in black along the lash line and outer corners, Illamasqua's Precision Gel Liner in Infinity on the lash line, Inglot's Eyeliner Gel in gold (No 95) as a base on the lids and packed the Body Shop's Colour Crush eyeshadow in Gorgeous Gold on top with the dark brown shade from Daniel Sandler's Beyond Sunset quad blended in the crease. I also added a tiny bit of Illamasqua's Liquid Metal in Surge in the inner corners.
Finally I finished off with Eylure Naturalites lashes (No 161). I can only apologise as one seems to be making a break for freedom in the picture below. Do forgive me, this was taken at the end of the evening after nine hours wear and a drive back from Southampton to London:
The sad thing is I don't get to play around with make-up and bold looks as much as I used. This wedding injected some fun back into what make-up should be about and I have realised I must make more time for it. Who knows, I might share some more looks on the blog…

Beautiful dress sheenie. When I lived in Birmingham I used to love looking in the Asian fabric/clothes shop windows at all the vibrant colours and designs.
Would love to go to an Asian wedding have heard they are a real event. Remember a work mate worrying about going to one and whether he would be bored with no alcohol being served. He said it was the best wedding he had ever been too.
Thank you, Britny! I think you need to gate crash an Asian wedding…

GENEVA (AP) -- The U.N. refugee agency says 230,000 Syrians have fled their homes since the outbreak of violence last year.
The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees' coordinator for Syria says 30,000 people have already fled to Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan and "on a daily basis hundreds of people are still crossing into neighboring countries."
Panos Moumtzis told reporters in Geneva on Tuesday that according to the Syrian Arab Red Crescent at least 200,000 people are also displaced within the country.
He says some 110,000 mostly Iraqi refugees living in Syria are meanwhile reporting increased hardship due to rising prices for basic goods.
Moumtzis says prices for imported goods have "skyrocketed" because of the devaluation of the Syrian pound.

Controversial Sen. Strom Thurmond died in 2003, but Congress may not be a Thurmond-free zone for much longer if Strom's youngest son, Paul Thurmond, ends up following through on some preliminary noises he's making about a possible run for outgoing South Carolina Rep. Henry Brown's House seat. —KA
Charleston County councilor Paul Thurmond, the youngest son of Strom Thurmond, tells POLITICO that he's seriously considering running for the seat being vacated by retiring Rep. Henry Brown (R-S.C.)
"I am sad to see we are losing the leadership of a dedicated public servant in Henry Brown," Thurmond said. "That said, I view this as an exciting possibility that warrants serious discussion amongst family and friends."
Son of Strom: Paul Thurmond is the youngest son of the late Sen. Strom Thurmond, whose likeness is preserved in this bust.

Prudential Predicts a Historic Decade for Stocks
Updated to add the paragraph on multiple expansion.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Prudential Financial, the asset management and insurance company founded in 1875, says this year may host a historic event: the beginning of a decade in which stocks outperform bonds, the first time in a generation.
While bonds have led equities for three decades, Prudential's investment team "would not rule out the possibility of a shift this decade to a regime where stocks offer not just superior returns, but a superior risk/return trade-off compared with bonds."
Prudential Chief Investment Strategist John Praveen predicts the S&P 500 Index will rise to 1,430 by year-end, a gain of 13%. For reference, Goldman Sachs (GS) estimates the S&P will only reach 1,250 (about flat compared to 2011) and Morgan Stanley (MS) estimates the S&P will decline to 1,167 (down 7% over last year). Low stock values, near-record-low interest rates, robust corporate earnings and modest growth in the overall economy (2.4% versus a consensus of 2.1%) will propel the equity market, he said. The risks are the uncertainty of the eurozone debt crisis, gridlock in Washington and a potential hard landing of China's economy. With that backdrop, Edward Keon, portfolio manager of Quantitative Management Associates at Prudential, said the burden of proof has shifted from stocks to bonds. He said stock prices are "much more volatile than you would expect, due to changing fundamentals." But Keon still sees a surprise to the upside in stocks as more probable in 2012 than a surprise to the downside. All of the issues we are worried about are the things the market well knows and are probably embedded in stock prices," he said. History has proven that returns in the stock market have been far more consistent, offering 5% to 8% upside on average, compared to bonds, which have returned anywhere from a negative 3% to positive 8% to investors. Stocks have been able to show much better resiliency throughout periods of high volatility and inflation as they participate in the real growth of the economy. Bonds have more outside factors that affect them. Praveen likes where current stock valuations are - near the lows seen in 2007-2009. This along with the low interest rates will provide a support system for the expansion of multiples. Industrial and technology are Praveen's top sector picks for 2012. Improvements in business confidence is helping support growth in both of those industries, and while technology will likely see more growth as consumer electronics remain in high demand, infrastructure spending will help drive the industrial sector higher this year. Caterpillar (CAT) has been a consistent performer in the industrial sector, while Apple (AAPL) and Qualcomm (QCOM) are favorites of many in the tech space.

Doubloon Turtle Cove Sail & Snorkel
I am just wondering if anyone has any feedback regarding this tour in St. Thomas? I also have 2 children aged 7 & 10. I would love to hear any feedback regarding this tour with children as well.
Thanks in advance! :)
I have read a lot of good feedback about that excursion. We booked it for our 11/3 Fantasy Cruise.
I hope it is all they say it is.
There's a good thread here about the Eastern ports and excursions. :thumbsup2
I did a review of the Doubloon at about post #42 I think. :goodvibes We had a great time.
Edited to add: I was completely wrong on the post count!! Here's my post at # 84.
One of our Favorites!
The Doubloon Sail and Snorkel was one of our top 2 DCL excursions ever! It was the highlight of our cruise. Our kids were a little younger than yours, and we all had a great time.
I still can remember the banana drinks they served to the adults after snorkeling :goodvibes.
I would highly recommend the Doubloon Sail and Snorkel.
Thx so much for your feed back! :)
We just got back from this excursion. There is a full day and 1/2 day. We did half day to give us time on the island. We loved it. We saw sting rays, lots of turtles, and the reef had 100,000 fish of say 25 species. It was one of the best snorkel encounters we have had. My concern was all the folks would scare away the animals, but that didn't seem to occur, surprisingly. The crews are awesome. The wind was up and the 35- 45 foot boat was rolling and rocking. My guess we had 4 foot seas. Take bonine if needed. A couple folks were sick on the way back. We met in D lounge at 8am. walked 1/2 mile to boat. Sailing at 9am. 40 minute ride. 90 minutes snorkeling. Back on land @ noon. :thumbsup2
One of the best excursions we have ever done. Water was crystal clear and saw many turtles. Loved the free snorkeling time following the guided in water tour. Boat ride was awesome, but watch out for that rum punch on the way back. It can sneak up on you and be deadly. pirate:
highly recommend, we just did it last week. I have 13,10, 8 year olds and they all loved it as well as my 64 year old mom. They crew was awesome and fantastic with the kids.

"I ordered this card for my sons baptism in the extra thick paper. Quality is excellent and took only one week to be printed and delivered to Australia. Also was very easy to order online. I would highly recommend Tiny Prints and would definitely use them again."
"Tiny Prints did a wonderful job once again! The card was perfect for my son's 1st communion. Great quality paper and printing. They arrived on time:)"
"We didn't want to spend a lot of money because it was a very small party. But the price was right and everyone thought it was special to have professional invitations. Added just a small touch of class to the event. Stock was good and everything was just perfect. I will order from Tiny Prints again in the future. I was most pleased. Especially with the delivery - FAST! Thank you."
"I am very pleased with this invitation for my son's communion. It is simple, classic, and easy to read. Good job, again...Tiny Prints!"

What an interesting morning!! It all started at about 3:15 this morning...yep, that's what time my alarm goes off to get me up and ready for my run. Shortly after I got up my phone went off, my sister texted that she wasn't running so I immediately texted my mom asking her to meet an hour later and at my house, then went back to bed.
Got up again in an hour and hadn't heard back from my mom so I got ready and got the dog, shot off one more text and headed out the door. We stuck close to home for a few minutes thinking we would get an answer and when we didn't get one the dog and I headed off for our run. One of the first things we noticed was a flash of lightening behind us. Hmmmm...what's that about? Should we head back? No thunder...okay this thing is MILES away no worries. Stopped to stretch and watched a couple more flashes of lightening and decided to cut the route short. Started running and about a 1/3 of a mile in my shin started acting up...great. We were no headed east and facing the storm. Lots and lots of flashes of lightening. Glad I decided on the shorter route.
Get to a point where I have to decide between two routes home. One will add a bit of distance, but is down a tree lined street (a VERY tree lined street), the other is a tiny bit shorter but on a wide open street. I choose the open route. I'm hearing thunder now, but it is still obvious the storm is far, far away, but one never knows when that will change. The shin has me walking now, at a good pace, but walking feels better, so walk it is. Dog isn't fazed at all by the light show and is having a blast, but time to head on home. Just as we get back to our neighborhood, my phone tells me I have a text. Ah...there's mom...finally.
She left her phone at work and hadn't gotten any of the messages. She'd been to sister's and even to my house, but we were all asleep so she went shopping at Wal-Mart-lol! Went to work and got her phone (luckily she works at the hospital so there is always someone around-lol) and got all her messages. Dog and I waited at a little park where I stretched some until she got to my house. We kept watching the light show and even got a tiny bit sprinkled. When she pulled up dog recognized her car and started yelping at her so we ran the opposite way down the street away from the houses until he calmed down and we waited for her to catch up. It is still REALLY early...almost 5:30 by now, I didn't want dog to wake up the entire neighborhood. He's a beagle and has a beagle's voice. A bark and a yelp designed to travel for MILES so when he gets going you can hear him a block away-lol! The diversion worked and he settled down. We went ahead and took another short walk down one longish street and back and still saw lots of awesome lightning strikes...still miles away, but we were hearing more thunder by now and were glad to be going back.
By the time I added up all the little starts and stops I'd gone 2.5 miles. Lol-that's what I almost always do (run with warm-up and cool-down included). So there was nothing short about it...it did turn into a walk instead, but I kept a great pace for the walk and it was a great morning.
I had every excuse to not do anything this morning. A couple excuses even. "If she's not going I won't either." "There is lightning". "My shin hurts." "I'm too tired (true)."
But, I shushed all those excuses and got out there anyways and it was nice. I got fireworks, I got a cool, fresh morning, I got to spend time with my little beagle and make him happy. A beautiful morning :)!
Today was a great run. The schedule called for 9 miles and I have to say I was a tad apprehensive. It's been awhile since I've done 9 or more and I can't say I was looking forward to it. The weather has been scorching hot this week and I thought we'd be out there dying in the sun and I'd have a horrible run.
I was wrong. Mother Nature decided to grace us with a suddenly cool day. Yesterday was a bit cooler than it had been all week, but today is considerably cooler than that. We were graced with weather PERFECT for running in. Started out cloudless and blue, but enough cloud cover blew in with a bit of a breeze to keep things cool and happy. Got to see an awesome cloud and since it was in our line of sight for a mile we got to watch it morph and change as we went along. In my humble opinion it started out a trophy cup...complete with handles coming off the sides, rounded on the bottom and flat on top. Then the handles disappeared and it became a tulip. Finally, the sides pulled out again and made it look like a giant water fowl getting ready to fly.
I had a great first couple of miles, walked here and there, but maintained a pretty good ratio that I'm happy with. Got annoyed somewhere around mile 5 when a runner came up silently and quickly on my right. No greeting or warning involved. I nearly fell off the sidewalk since at the exact moment she was choosing to pass I was a about to turn to the side and look back and tell my mom, who was behind me, something. If I hadn't jumped back we would have face planted into each other...so rude. She continued ahead and did something else to give all runners a bad name. We were running up a slight, but curvy hill. At the top of the hill is a set of railroad tracks (haven't seen them used in years and I've never seen the guard bars at this junction go down). Anywho....I LOVE this little stretch of road for driving. I love whipping my little mini van up the hill, around the curves and back down-lol!! Probably the funnest section of road in the entire town. However, because it is so fun and a hill and the speed limit is pretty high in that section crossing ANYWHERE except the cross walk a quarter of a mile back down the hill is insane. What does rude runner do? She jogs in place at the top of the hill (I'm thinking "she's not...there is no way...") and when there is a break in traffic she darts across the road right on the tracks. There is a median there to hold the guard bars so she jumps up on it and has to wait for the next set of traffic to pass. INSANE AND DANGEROUS. Runners like her give all runners a bad rep. Did you see where Reese Witherspoon was hit while running? Happened a couple days ago and she is fine, but people were leaving comments that it was probably her fault not the driver's (who was 84 or some insane number like that) and it is because of runner's like this lady we saw today that people feel justified in making those comments. Sheesh.
Okay, rant over, the rest of the run was going great. We ran for a bit with a dog named Bullet. A HUGE Doberman....I don't know if I've ever seen a Dobi this big before. Wonder if he is mixed with Great Dane because that is how big he was...my mom spent time talking to Bullet's mom...I'll have to ask her if they discussed breed-now I'm curious-lol! Bullet was off leash, which doesn't bother me, I could tell he was friendly. When he first heard us coming up on his street he just perked his ears and looked at his mom. He was obviously asking if he could come say hi :). When we went to pass him he thought it was a new game and came bounding after me just as happy as could be. He ran back and forth between me and his mom a few times, but never got close enough to mom to get leashed-lol. Not a stupid dog :). She finally got his attention and leashed him and I was free to run again without having to worry that Bullet was going to tag me from behind and accidentaly knock me down. Continued with a good walk/run ratio through miles 5, 6, and 7.
Set several goals through miles 7 and 8 to run a certain distance and hit it everytime, which tells me I could do more!! Trying harder next week :).
I even ran across the "finish line". You know, not a physical finish line with cheering crowds and a banner, but the place where you finally know you've reached your goal. As soon as I crossed the finish and lo and behold what do I find? A gutter dollar!! :)
I got paid for running today. Right where I stopped the rain water gutter crossed a street and laying in a puddle in the gutter was a dollar bill. It was a little damp and probably kind of dirty, but I held it for a minute until it dried a bit, then stuck it in my pocket. Used it to pay for my VitaminWater Zero when I had to stop by Wal-Mart on the way home-lol!
So...the 9 miles ended with a bonus :). It was a great run over all and I stretched, stretched and stretched somemore so hopefully the soreness will not be too bad.
Next week...10 miles :). Looking forward to it (just hope the cool weather is back next week too).
Not feeling very awesome tonight and so this is kind of a bad day to post this...none of it is making me feel any more awesome...posting to the team page I noticed that the person below me was smaller than even my goal weight and that her thigh was one inch bigger than my CALF. One inch difference between her thigh and my calf is really quite disgusting and demoralizing thank you very much. I think her waist was smaller than my thigh, well, not quite but definitely smaller than one and a half of my thighs. So...on that uplifting note...(oh and be advised that the comparissons between my thighs and mystery girl's waist are not the only source...just one of many nails in the coffin today needs to be buried in)...here is my PMP starting line...
Crunches completed in 1 minute: 15 before they got sloppy
Pushups (or modified pushups) completed in 1 minute: Modified Pushups=12
How long (up to one minute) can you hold a plank or modified plank?: Modified Plank=45 sec.
Pull-Ups (if you have somewhere available to do them) completed in 1 minute: ZERO-even without the equipment to try I know it is zero.
Squats (sans weights) completed in 1 minute:oops almost forgot the squats...hold on...be right back...27.
2. What equipment will be you be using in this challenge?
My own body weight
Free weights and dumbbells at home or at the gym.
Resistance bands at home or at the gym.(actually I should take this one off because my kids are constantly stealing my bands...I'll remain hopeful that I can take a turn to use them though and leave it in place-lol)
3. What dumbbells weight/resistance level are you starting at? I can use 5 lb to 8 lb weights for most arm exercises.
4. Why do you feel the burning desire to grow stronger, to change shape, to prove yourself?
I have a couple of half marathons coming up as well as a massive hike. I'd like to haul a much fitter version of myself up a mountain and/or across a finish line. Plus, my legs have always been the sexiest part of my body and I want them to feel sexy again.
5. Create your tracking space.
My calendar and stickers and pens are all already in place on the wall in my bedroom so that I see them every morning when I get up and every night when I lay down.
6. The dreaded before pictures will be posted to my blog later tonight..gotta get this posted quickly so the kids can get off to beddy-bye...I'll come back soon.
7. Starting Line Measurements NO CHEATIN!
Biceps-R=16.5, L=16.25
Forearms-right below elbow-12
Waist-46 (at my natural waist (not some weird spot based on my belly button which sags well below where it should be-sad but true))
Hips-59 (based on widest part of my body)
Thigh-R=28, L=28
Calf-R=20.25, L=20.5
Bust-at boobage=46
Chest-below boobage=42.5
Back-measured around chest immediately under armpits-44
There you have it folks. See you 'round spark.
My cousin "shared" this blog via FB. I want to share it with you...if you are sensitive to language there is some mild (very mild) language-just a heads up so you can't come back and say "hey there's cussing in that blog".
None of the words on this blog are mine...but I love them...they rock...there is power in them. blog.pigtailpals.com/2011/08/waking-up-full-of-awesome/
So....we found LOTS of awesome stuff at the Disney expo and one of the things I actually bought was a sweaty band. I've seen others say that they love their sweaty band so I decided to go for it.
One of the things that convinced me to buy one is the AWESOME selection they had. I couldn't believe the hundreds of bands on display. Very literaly there was something for everyone in their selection. It was a tough choice, but I finally decided on a band that is orange with pink flowers. Here is my daughter modeling the band for me (she thinks it is "so pretty")...
The claim to fame of the Sweaty Band is that it stays put. It doesn't slip. I have to say that this is absolutely true!!! I have thick hair, I sweat (a lot), and my hair likes to grab moisture out of the air making it very easy for headband to slip and slide all over my head. This band absolutely stays exactly where you put it. I love my sweaty band and love the choices they offer. In addition, they can be pretty enough to just keep wearing. If you are one of those girls that goes for a lunch time run or dashes by the gym on the way to somewhere else. The SweatyBand COULD be pretty enough to just keep in all day. Really, they offer choices that are that cute!
What I didn't love was that it doesn't do much to keep sweat off my face. It keeps my hair off my face and that helps, but it doesn't stop the drips from going down my face.
So, now let's take a look at the RokBAND. This is a new-ish product offered at www.goneforarun.com. I got Pinkwaves...
The SweatyBand is designed to be worn as a traditional head band...the RokBand is designed to be very versatile. This band is made of moisture wicking material and is actually quite wide (maybe 3 or 4 inches wide). The webpage says "Wear it as a headband, thick or thin hairband, scrunchie, beanie, mask, scarf, or wristband." And you really could use it for all those things...although where they say beanie...I'd say it's a bit more like a bandana than a beanie as it doesn't cover your entire head like a beanie, but is wide enough to work like a bandana.
This product was not at Disney (a major mistake in my opinion) and I had to order it from the website. When it arrived and I saw it for the first time I thought "it's a baby buff". In case the word buff throws you off that's what they call the multipurpose scraps of fabric that the contestants on Survivor are given. My sister said the same thing when I showed her.
I've used it as a headband, but can see where I might use it as a scarf or mask if the weather was cold and I wanted to protect my face or provide a bit of a barrier between my lungs and cold air. It is NOT thick enough to be used in really cold weather but would definitely be sufficient for my Southern California weather.
The band performs much as advertised. It does a good job of staying put and a good job of wicking away sweat and keeping it off my face. The times I've used it I've been on quite warm or very long runs. Over time it does have a tendency to slip but not frequently and it is so light weight that it doesn't take much to put it back in place.
So comparing the two bands I'd have to call it apples and oranges. For me the two bands serve different purposes. The Sweatyband is decorative and useful for keeping my hair off my face. Something I value in a band for short races (5K) or on cool weather runs when my primary goal is keeping my hair contained (my curly, thick hair can get kind of wild and containment is often an unmet goal-lol). The RokBand is also pretty but serves the purpose of diverting and containing sweat on warm runs and possibly for a bit of added warmth on cold weather runs (for my purposes cold is in the mid to upper 40's).
So, I love both products and have room for both of them in my repitoire. I'm sure I'll be adding additional colors and style of both to my collection and highly recommend both products, just be aware that they do serve different purposes. If you want huge selection and a means to keep your hair contained then definitely the SweatyBand is a good choice. If you are looking to keep sweat of your brow go for the RokBand.

Repeated update
For the past several days, I have been seeing what is apparently the same Windows update each time I shut down my computer. As soon as I power down, the screen says it is installing update 1 of 4 and it apparently completes the installation and shuts down normally. The next time I boot, it takes up to 20 minutes for the Windows splash screen to close and then I see a screen telling me that Windows is configuring 1 of 4 updates and not to shut the machine off. This message stays at 0% for several minutes than then finally enters my login screen.
I have swept my system for malware and emptied the User/App Data/Temp folder with no change.
Anyone know what might be going on here?

* We need the KB number to know what update you refer to.
* Have you checked in Event Viewer ?
Start - Event Viewer - Windows Logs - System & Application.
Check for any red error messages to do with this problem.
*Clean out yet again App data / local / temp.
Start - Run - type in %temp% - ok - organize - select all - organize - delete { note you may be asked to skip some - that is ok}
* Have you a System Restore point you can roll back to prior to this glitch with the update?
If so this could be worth trying.
* Re your update settings -
I suggest you change them to notify you but let you choose to download.
Do a few at a time only. {Tedious, but allows you to monitor for any problems.}
* Always make sure you have a current system restore point prior to downloading anything.

Well, things have taken a turn for the worse.
I did all the requisite file clearing and checked the event viewer and found nothing related to this. I finally tried a system restore to a point well before the problem began. After completing the restore, windows failed to start normally so I tried to start it in safe mode which failed as well. I tried a Windows repair from the Win7 installation disk but that failed as well.
I finally bit the bullet and did a fresh install of win 7 and while everything else is gone, the "1 of 4" update thing is still there. Everything including the registry was wiped... how could it still be happening?

Anyway, my computer is waking up alone from Standby and Hibernation , and that makes me crazy
I am not using Wake-On-Lan or any Task Scheduler!
Can you tell me please, if it is possible to find any Log entries under Windows about Wake Up reason??

text: Excellent quality product, I was very surprised. A good plastic, excellent cover of the cable. Cable length between konestorami, in my opinion, just good. No problems found. A little does not inspire confidence among the plug is the thickness of the cable, but the quality of the product and it works ... Read more

I guess I might have liked this more if I knew some of the users. Or are they even mostly users anyway? This is great because it works so well as a showcase of some of your best work. Even if it isn't some of your best work, it's great to see all these unique colors and shapes on screen. Everything just seems to come to life so much. I thought that you were trying to show pictures of pokemon.
Everything is certainly unique enough to make it seem like that. It truly makes you appreciate how everyone has something different to bring to the table. I guess it could have used a background, but still very nicely done. I hope everyone pictured here knows about this. All fans of fine art should.
