Where are all you sleepy heads this morning.....
Coffee and Tea is on grab a cup.......
What What??? Did someone say cawfee???Where Where!:coffee: :coffee2:
Thanks fer crankin us up this morn LC... I love your little dancin chick! :lol:
Time to warm up the credit card.. Tis BLACK FRIDAYhere in the states. Where we kick of the capitalists' commercialism of the holiday season. DH and I have to run out to get a frigidaire and office furniture for the new home. The current owners were moving out wed/thurs and it was too crazy for us to come measure for the fridge space, so the owner was kind enough to do it.
Dh and I spent the holiday packing in between me tending to our Turkey. I stayed pretty much OP yesterday.. A slice or two of sweet potatoes did pass my lips, but I make them as SBD friendly as possible. Just some ICBINB, cinnamon and SF maple syrup and bake.
OK Chicks... we're off to "Appliance World"..whooooosh!
Morning Chick, I got my coffee and am catching up with some work.
Schatzi, good luck with the shopping...hopefully you get some really good bargains today...wear your battle gear!! It should be crazy out there. I would rather eat dirt than venture out into the fray, but it is a great day for bargains.
My only venture out today will be to bring my Mother to the post office and go to grocery store for a few things we ran out of. I had planned on turkey salad today, but we had very little left over after sending "care packages" off with our college students. (I just cooked a breast instead of whole turkey) I knew I should have cooked that second breast I bought, but it's in the freezer for another day.
:coffee: Thanks for the coffee, L.C.!
Schatzi, This is the first year that I'm not going shopping, and I kind of miss it. My SIL and I always had our strategy all mapped out, sale flyers in hand, early in the morning, and we never ever ran into crowds or traffic jams and were usually back home by 10 am at the latest. It was fun! I think the people who wait until later in the day to venture out are the ones that have a miserable experience. Have fun shopping for your new office furniture and fridge!
Cat, to me, the best part of the holiday are the leftovers the next day. I made 2 turkeys and a turkey breast yesterday just for that reason. I expect the kids to show up for supper today, too, even though they all were sent home with care packages. ;)
I didn't do too badly yesterday. I skipped the stuffing and mashed potatoes and gravy, just because I don't care for them. But I had a small helping of everything else, including a slice of pumpkin pie and a small piece of pumpkin struesel cake. And I enjoyed it and am not going to stress about it. I'm right back on plan today, and that's what matters the most.
So now to decide what to do today. I don't have any plans whatsoever, and now I'm feeling antsy!
Good Morning Everyone
:coffee: Thanks LC
So yesterday I fully planned on doing traitional and right back on the beach this mornng. I didn't overeat but I did eat MANY off plan foods. I felt almost ill last night. I guess it was too rich or more carbs than I can handle now. I was planning on doing the exact same thing on Xmas and have completely changed my mind. It was a fanastic day and I'm actually glad this happened. It makes temptations all the less tempting.;)
Happy a great day!
I ate a bit off plan but not too bad. I know I didn't eat enough sugar to set off any cravings again and that is the most important part.
Robert and I got a chance to talk to Michael and Maria about our situation but I'm not sure if that helped any since their marriage is worse off than ours ever was. He is planning on making changes which I don't think will make any difference in how I feel about wanting to stay with him but I guess I can wait and see.
Time to go hop in the shower. I don't have to work today so I slept in. It's too cold to want to go out and do anything I don't have to do.
Morning Chickies! Afraid I wasn't nearly as good as some of you girls in my eating but I will recover! Working for a bit today, going to put my nose to the grindstone and try to get out of here by noon. Ended my Wednesday with an ok to close that house I have been working on for 3 years! :carrot: Makes working today so much better knowing I am going to be rid of the that nightmare on Monday!
Schatzi We have missed you so much!
LC Gosh girl I feel for ya, sure hope you kick this thing to the curb soon!
Cat I am with you on the no shopping today. My daughter is out braving it and I told her there is no way I would take on that challenge!
Cottage & Thin Hope you both have a great day!
Barb :hug: I hope wherever your heart takes you with this you are at peace with it. I have been in your shoes I know how incredibly hard it is especially durning the holidays and with kids.
Ok got to get to work so I can get out of here today. Have a great day all and willpower dust on avoiding the leftovers!
Morning chicks,
I didn't do so bad yesterday, but there's family around all weekend and more feasting to come, so I hope I can hold out. For breakfast, I had some sugar free pumpkin custard and turkey breast, yum leftovers!
I never go out t the stores on Black Friday, but DD desperately needs new bras and today is the only time we'll have to go out before she goes back, so I may have to venture into it. She wants to go to a mall near the DC beltway, because there is a Nordstroms there which carries some bras she really wants to try. As a D-cup girl, she needs good bras. I thought waiting until later would be a good idea, but maybe not? If we do go, I'm going to try to find a TruValue store and pick up some cordless LED lights for the windows. They're advertising a really good price on them, and I've got lots of windows to fill!
Other than that, I need to work, and want to go grocery shopping, plus I really want to get in a good walk, but boy has it gotten cold here today. Yesterday morning I didn't even need a jacket!
Have a good Friday chicks!
little chick
Back for a quickie, the kids finally let me have the computer back. I am feeling loopy this morning as I took cough meds last night, I don't know why it makes me feel this way the next day. School day off today so it is crazy around here. Well must dash again. Enjoy your day ladies.....
I saw this recipe (http://www.wwltv.com/mackienmeg/recflorentine.htm) and thought it might be good for turkey leftovers...just sub turkey for chicken. Might give it a try today.
Later::: I tried it and it was wonderful. I added some fresh herbs (parsley and tarragon) and I also added some creole seasoning and a little pinch of cayenne pepper. It was really fast and easy. I posted my revised recipe in the phase 2 soup recipe section..it's waiting on approval.
Oh, and I did 2/3 chicken stock and 1/3 water instead of all water.
Hello Ladies,
Looks like we all did pretty well with our food yesterday for the most part. You know I took y'alls advice and eased into SBD because of the T-day so I am now counting today as day #1 of Phase 1. I am excited about getting started today 100%.
Barb - I notice you are in Richardson, TX. I am originally from Waco, TX. Now live in SC just south of Charlotte, NC. I am hoping the weather is good your way today for travel as my Daddy & Mom are traveling from my step-sister's house in Oklahoma going back to Waco today. Talked to my sister yesterday who lives in Waco area and she said y'all might be in for rain and snow. Hope it holds off till Daddy gets home. He is a very good driver, but I worry about him now that he is so much older.
LC - You seem perky today. Hope that means you are feeling a lot better and not just the meds making you loopy. Time to get rid of that stuff.
Thin - I wasn't able to eat all the sweets I had planned to eat because I found they were rich. I don't eat sweets much any more except SBD allowed even before I started SBD and what I did eat almost made me sick because it was soooo sweet. I have no plans at this time to eat any type of sweets at Christmas time. I guess that is why it was so easy to leave the pecan pie (usually my favorite) at my SIL for her son.
I don't do Black Friday shopping either. Did it once with DD when we lived in FL and it wasn't too bad, but have no desire to do it again. We have all our shopping done and wrapped. DH and I wanted to have DD and her families ready to send home with her and we will mail the rest Monday to those out of state.
No one but the 2 of us going to be here for Christmas this year so we are going to only put up our small tree on a table in the living room so we can see it. We even have our presents for each other bought and wrapped and ready to put under our little tree. Not even planning any off SBD food for Christmas. Hope I can stick to that one. I'll be into Phase 2 pretty good by then.
Better go be with kids. Everybody else have a really great day. Hope those who shop have fun and get really good bargains.
Well, guess what? We decided to venture out shopping after all, and we got some terrific bargains. We went to three different malls, and it wasn't too bad, though the longer we were there, the more crowded it got. I just googled what we bought, just to compare prices, and we really got some good deals. We just had a late lunch of cold turkey sandwiches, and are thinking about getting out the Christmas decorations. The trees will go up tomorrow. I always put them up Thanksgiving weekend since it's the only time I'll have between now and Christmas to do it all. It's funny - I can't wait to put them up, and by Christmas I can't wait to take them back down again. Dustin and his family are coming over later this evening for a late supper of leftovers.
I stayed pretty much onplan yesterday so that was good. I did venture out this morning at 4 a.m. with DD, got some great deals and was back at home by 7:30 a.m. and sleeping by 8 a.m. I am at work now all night, I sure will be glad once I switch back to days and get to work from home 3 days a week, have about one month left to go. Yeah
Have a great weekend gals

Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners
By Kyle Munzenrieder
"Nobody expected this game to move this fast," Pleban adds. "In the last year, [there has been] dramatic change. There are people who actually want to live on the west side [of the boulevard]." West, meaning more blighted and crime-ridden.
For example, houses that Tobias bought for $60,000 to $80,000 in the late Eighties and early Nineties are now going for $160,000 to $200,000, Pleban says. Some have topped $400,000. He estimates Tobias made "a few million" from the sales, but maintains he hadn't been keeping a precise count.
"About a year ago my telephone started ringing a lot," Pleban confides. "'I want to buy a duplex! I want to buy real estate!' It was the same story over and over. People that never had rental properties before were going into it. 'I want a fixer-upper. I want to flip.' I never heard 'flip' so many times. I think a lot of people are a little late to the party."
Pleban thinks Miami's burgeoning luxury condo market is heading for a glut, and hence a nice price fall. But values of single-family homes, a Belle Meade staple, are not likely to implode because they're in relatively short supply, especially in neighborhoods close to downtown. So people who got a good deal on a Belle Meade house are probably in good shape. And that includes Tobias, when he gets a break from his ceaseless and daunting DNC fundraising mission.
"I'm still high on the Upper East Side, which only looks to be getting better and better," Tobias assures. "And hey, I still own Belle Meade Studios and a vacant lot across the boulevard, and an investment condo in the Palm Bay [Club] -- and my HOME!"

TNT Global Express confirmed reports its Italian parcel delivery unit has been targeted by a mafia organization.
The Dutch mail and express group said it is fully co-operating with authorities in an investigation into possible links between the 'Ndrangheta crime syndicate and one of its subcontractors in the Milan area.
TNT said it works with 20 subcontractors around Milan and each has been subjected to a strict vetting process.
There was nothing to lead TNT to suspect any irregularities, the company said in a statement.
TNT said there has been no impact on its services.
TNT news from JOC:
TNT Express Profit Grows, Mail Retreats
An Italian court claimed the 'Ndrangheta controls TNT's parcel delivery operations in the Lombardy region surrounding Milan.
Police in Italy and Germany arrested 35 alleged 'Ndrangheta members a week ago on multiple charges of extortion, money laundering and drug trafficking.
The 'Ndrangheta, which is based in the southern province of Calabria, is estimated to have an annual income in excess of $50 billion.
The syndicate controls Gioia Tauro, the southern Italian transshipment port that handles over 3.5 million containers a year, according to a parliamentary report in 2008.
Organized crime has infiltrated a wide range of waterfront activities from customs and container storage to cargo distribution and freight forwarding, according to parliamentary investigators.

This paper revisits the extent of seasonality in African livelihoods, which has disappeared from Africaapos;s development debate. Through econometric analysis of monthly food price series across 100 locations in three countries during 2000-12, it is shown that seasonal movements in maize wholesale prices explain 20 (Tanzania, Uganda) to 40 (Malawi) percent of their monthly volatility. ... See More + Monthly maize peak prices are on average 30 (Tanzania, Uganda) to 50 (Malawi) percent higher than their monthly troughs and two to three times higher than the seasonal gaps observed for white maize at the South African Futures Exchange. Furthermore, household food consumption is found to inversely track food prices in each country, decreasing when staple prices increase and increasing when they decline. Clearly, (excess) seasonality in African food markets and consumption persists, necessitating policy attention. See Less -
Policy Research Working Paper WPS6907 JUN 01, 2014
Kaminski, Jonathan; Christiaensen, Luc; Gilbert, Christopher L.
The 2007-2008 global food crisis has renewed interest in post-harvest loss, but estimates remain scarce, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. This paper uses self-reported measures from nationally representative household surveys in Malawi, Uganda, and Tanzania. ... See More + Overall, on-farm post-harvest loss adds to 1.4-5.9 percent of the national maize harvest, substantially lower than the Food and Agriculture Organizationapos;s post-harvest handling and storage loss estimate for cereals, which is 8 percent. Post-harvest loss is concentrated among less than a fifth of households. It increases with humidity and temperature and declines with better market access, post-primary education, higher seasonal price differences, and possibly improved storage practices. Wider use of nationally representative surveys in studying post-harvest loss is called for. See Less -

This brief summarizes the results of a gender impact evaluation study, entitled Child growth, shocks, and food aid in rural Ethiopia, conducted between 1995 and 1996 in Ethiopia. ... See More + The study observed the impact of food aid on child growth and shocks in communities on the child level. Food aid has a positive significant impact on the growth in height of children. The total amount of food aid appears on average to be sufficient to offset the negative effects of plot damage on child growth. Given the fact there remains a massive amount of child stunting, there must be large amounts of mis-targeting of aid. Girls seem to be more resilient to shocks than boys. See Less -
Brief 81213 AUG 14, 2013
Yamano, Takashi; Alderman, Harold; Christiaensen, Luc
As countries develop, they restructure away from agriculture and urbanize. But structural transformation and urbanization patterns differ substantially, with some countries fostering migration out of agriculture into rural off farm activities and secondary towns, and others undergoing rapid agglomeration in mega cities. ... See More + Using cross-country panel data for developing countries spanning 1980-2004, the analysis in this paper finds that migration out of agriculture into the missing middle (the rural nonfarm economy and secondary towns) yields more inclusive growth patterns and faster poverty reduction than agglomeration in mega cities. This suggests that patterns of urbanization deserve much more attention when striving for faster poverty reduction. See Less -
Policy Research Working Paper WPS6445 MAY 01, 2013
Christiaensen, Luc; Todo, Yasuyuki
A rather unique panel tracking more than 3,300 individuals from households in rural Kagera, Tanzania during 1991/4-2010 shows that about one in two individuals/households who exited poverty did so by transitioning from agriculture into the rural nonfarm economy or secondary towns. ... See More + Only one in seven exited poverty by migrating to a large city, although those moving to a city experienced on average faster consumption growth. Further analysis of a much larger cross-country panel of 51 developing countries cannot reject that rural diversification and secondary town development lead to more inclusive growth patterns than metropolitization. Indications are that this follows because more of the poor find their way to the rural nonfarm economy and secondary towns, than to distant cities. The development discourse would benefit from shifting beyond the rural-urban dichotomy and focusing instead more on how best to urbanize and develop the rural nonfarm economy and secondary towns. See Less -
Policy Research Working Paper WPS6422 APR 01, 2013
Christiaensen, Luc; De Weerdt, Joachim; Todo, Yasuyuki
A common behavioral assumption of micro-economic theory is that income is fungible. Using household panel data from rural China and Tanzania, this study finds however that people are more likely to spend unearned income on less basic consumption goods such as alcohol and tobacco, non-staple food, transportation and communication, and clothing, while they are somewhat more likely to spend earned income on basic consumption goods such as staple food, and invest it in education. ... See More + This resonates with the widespread cultural notion that money that is easily earned is also more easily spent. Cognitively, the results could be understood within the context of emotional accounting, whereby people classify income based on the emotions it evokes, prompting them to spend hard earned money more wisely to mitigate the negative connotations associated with its acquisition. The policy implications are real, bearing for example on the choice between employment guarantee schemes and cash transfers in designing social security programs. See Less -
Policy Research Working Paper WPS6298 DEC 01, 2012
Christiaensen , Luc; Pan, Lei
Clean, safe energy for rural areas is an important component of green growth and sustainable development. Biogas could be an important contributor, if its record in reality lives up to its expected potential. ... See More + This paper provides a preliminary assessment of biogas use by smallholder farmers in rural China, using data collected from 2,700 households in five provinces. The authors find that user satisfaction is high, and environmental and economic benefits appear tangible. There are strong indications of reduced use of wood and crop residues for fuel. Less time is spent on collecting fuel wood and cooking, which is especially beneficial to women. Adopters also save on fertilizers, because of the use of biogas residues. Moreover, problems with suspension of biogas use, whether due to technical or human factors, remained limited. However, few tangible benefits to respiratory health were detected. Overall, these findings are grounds for optimism about the potential for of smallholder biogas to contribute to more sustainable development, in China and beyond. See Less -
Policy Research Working Paper WPS6102 JUN 01, 2012
Christiaensen, Luc; Heltberg, Rasmus
Chinaapos;s success in addressing food problem after adopting the reforms in 1978 has been nothing less than remarkable. Grain output (rice, wheat and maize) has almost doubled and most hunger has been eliminated. ... See More + Ever since China embarked on its reform agenda more than 30 years ago, its economic growth and poverty reduction have been nothing less than remarkable. Agriculture has been an important contributor to these developments. Since 1978, China has almost doubled its cereal production (rice, wheat and maize) and it is now feeding 1.3 billion people, or 20 percent of the worldapos;s population, while having less than 11 percent of the worlds agricultural land and less than 6 percent of its water. New challenges are presenting themselves for Chinaapos;s agriculture, and old ones are resurfacing. High (land saving) Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth and increasingly open domestic and international markets, combined with grain self-sufficiency targets, a multitude of very small, fragmented production structures, and distorted land and labor markets have defined Chinese agriculture over the past three decades. The relative importance of agricultures three problems in policymaking thus evolves during the course of development away from the food to the farm and field problems. This shift has however recently been compounded by a resurgence of the food problem, as global supplies struggle to keep up with demand. Chinaapos;s agriculture anno 2030 will be predominantly a modern commercial smallholder agriculture that ensures self-sufficiency in cereal food (rice and wheat), but not in cereal feed (maize and soybeans). The sector will maximize rural employment opportunities in labor intensive high value agricultural products and act as a diligent custodian of its precious natural resources. See Less -
Working Paper 77367 MAY 01, 2012
Christiaensen, Luc
Higher and more volatile world grain prices are the new realities of today, and tomorrow. This note explores some of the steps East Asia needs to take to rise to the challenge this poses. ... See More + Raising the level and stability of rice production through more and better public investment remains the best long term solution. This must go hand in hand with strengthening regional coordination to restore trust in world rice markets and capture the gains from trade. In this, the role of a collective agreement to hold larger domestic buffer stocks merits further reflection, as does the development of the ASEAN+3 Emergency Rice Reserve Program. In bolstering supply, much progress can already be made by closing the yield gaps and reducing post harvest loss, in South East Asia currently estimated at 15 percent of the rice crop value. Finally, a beginning must be made to prepare agriculture for the increasing frequency of shocks and gradual shifts in the weather patterns. See Less -
Brief 67899 JAN 01, 2012
Christiaensen, Luc
Although reproductive health advocates consider family planning programs the intervention of choice to reduce fertility, there remains a great deal of skepticism among economists as to their effectiveness, despite little rigorous evidence to support either position. ... See More + This study explores the effects of family planning in Ethiopia using a novel set of instruments to control for potential non-random program placement. The instruments are based on ordinal rankings of area characteristics, motivated by competition between areas for resources. Access to family planning is found to reduce completed fertility by more than one child among women without education. No effect is found among women with some formal schooling, suggesting that family planning and formal education act as substitutes, at least in this low-income, low-growth setting. This provides support to the notion that increasing access to family planning can provide an important, complementary entry point to kick-start the process of fertility reduction. See Less -
Policy Research Working Paper WPS5812 SEP 01, 2011
Portner, Claus C; Beegle, Kathleen; Christiaensen, Luc
Tracking poverty is predicated on the availability of comparable consumption data and reliable price deflators. However, regular series of strictly comparable data are only rarely available. ... See More + Price deflators are also often missing or disputed. In response, poverty prediction methods that track consumption correlates as opposed to consumption itself have been developed. These methods typically assume that the estimated relation between consumption and its predictors is stable over time -- an assumption that cannot usually be tested directly. This study analyzes the performance of poverty prediction models based on small area estimation techniques. Predicted poverty estimates are compared with directly observed levels in two country settings where data comparability over time is not a problem. Prediction models that employ either non-staple food or non-food expenditures or a full set of assets as predictors are found to yield poverty estimates that match observed poverty well. This offers some support to the use of such methods to approximate the evolution of poverty. Two further country examples illustrate how an application of the method employing models based on household assets can help to adjudicate between alternative price deflators. See Less -
Policy Research Working Paper WPS5683 JUN 01, 2011
Christiaensen, Luc; Lanjouw, Peter; Luoto, Jill; Stifel, David
Input subsidy programs carry support as instruments to increase agricultural productivity, provided they are market-smart. This requires especially proper targeting to contain the fiscal pressure, with decentralized targeting of input vouchers currently the instrument of choice. ... See More + Nonetheless, despite clear advantages in administrative costs, the fear of elite capture persists. These fears are borne out in the experience from the 2008 input voucher pilot program in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, examined here. Elected village officials received about 60 percent of the distributed vouchers, a factor that significantly reduced the targeting performance of the program, especially in more unequal and remote communities. When targeting the poor, greater coverage and a focus on high trust settings helped mitigate these concerns. The findings highlight the continuing need for scrutiny when relying on decentralized targeting. A clearer sense of purpose (increasing productivity among poorer farmers versus increasing aggregate output) could also enhance the targeting performance. See Less -
Policy Research Working Paper WPS5651 MAY 01, 2011
Pan, Lei; Christiaensen, Luc
As natural disasters hit with increasing frequency, especially in coastal areas, it is imperative to better understand how much natural disasters affect economies and their people. ... See More + This requires disaggregated measures of natural disasters that can be reliably linked to households, the first challenge this paper tackles. In particular, a methodology is illustrated to create natural disaster and hazard maps from first hand, geo-referenced meteorological data. In a second step, the repeated cross-sectional national living standard measurement surveys (2002, 2004, and 2006) from Vietnam are augmented with the natural disaster measures derived in the first phase, to estimate the welfare effects associated with natural disasters. The results indicate that short-run losses from natural disasters can be substantial, with riverine floods causing welfare losses of up to 23 percent and hurricanes reducing welfare by up to 52 percent inside cities with a population over 500,000. Households are better able to cope with the short-run effects of droughts, largely due to irrigation. There are also important long-run negative effects, in Vietnam mostly so for droughts, flash floods, and hurricanes. Geographical differentiation in the welfare effects across space and disaster appears partly linked to the functioning of the disaster relief system, which has so far largely eluded households in areas regularly affected by hurricane force winds.

Policy Research Working Paper WPS5491 DEC 01, 2010
Thomas, Timothy; Christiaensen, Luc; Do, Quy Toan; Trung, Le Dang
There has been a steady increase in the occurrence of natural disasters. Yet their effect on economic growth remains unclear, with some studies reporting negative, and others indicating no, or even positive effects. ... See More + These seemingly contradictory findings can be reconciled by exploring the effects of natural disasters on growth separately by disaster and economic sector. This is consistent with the insights from traditional models of economic growth, where production depends on total factor productivity, the provision of intermediate outputs, and the capital-labor ratio, as well as the existence of important intersector linkages. Applying a dynamic Generalized Method of Moments panel estimator to a 1961-2005 cross-country panel, three major insights emerge. First, disasters affect economic growth - but not always negatively, and differently across disasters and economic sectors. Second, although moderate disasters can have a positive growth effect in some sectors, severe disasters do not. Third, growth in developing countries is more sensitive to natural disasters - more sectors are affected and the magnitudes are non-trivial. See Less -
Policy Research Working Paper WPS4980 JUN 01, 2009
Loayza, Norman; Olaberria, Eduardo; Rigolini, Jamele; Christiaensen, Luc
Large increases in international food prices in 2007 and early 2008 have become a key concern for policy makers in East Asia. The increases are likely to have a significant impact on the living standards of many, particularly the poor. ... See More + By March 2008, dollar nominated world food prices were more than two and a half times higher than in early 2002. Almost three quarters of this increase occurred since the start of 2007, and about half since the beginning of 2008. Recent sharp increases in international rice prices are of particular concern in East Asia. Food comprises 30 to 50 percent of the consumption basket of the average household in East Asia (compared to 15 percent in the United States). Within that, rice accounts for one third of the daily caloric intake, followed by wheat (12.4 percent), pork (8.8 percent), corn (4.4 percent), soybean and palm oil (3.4 percent and 1.8 percent respectively). This note examines the reasons for the surge in world food prices, in particular of rice in section two. It reviews the economic and poverty impacts of rising food prices in East Asian countries in section three. Finally, it concludes by assessing policy responses undertaken by East Asian economies so far, and discusses policy options going forward, including the importance of regional and international cooperation in addressing high food prices in section four. See Less -
Policy Note 44998 MAY 01, 2008
Brahmbhatt, Milan; Christiaensen, Luc
Studies of risk and its consequences tend to focus on one risk factor, such as a drought or an economic crisis. Yet 2003 household surveys in rural Kilimanjaro and Ruvuma, two cash-crop-growing regions in Tanzania that experienced a precipitous coffee price decline around the turn of the millennium, identified health and drought shocks as well as commodity price declines as major risk factors, suggesting the need for a comprehensive approach to analyzing household vulnerability. ... See More + In fact, most coffee growers, except the smaller ones in Kilimanjaro, weathered the coffee price declines rather well, at least to the point of not being worse off than non-coffee growers. Conversely, improving health conditions and reducing the effect of droughts emerge as critical to reduce vulnerability. One-third of the rural households in Kilimanjaro experienced a drought or health shocks, resulting in an estimated 8 percent welfare loss on average, after using savings and aid. Rainfall is more reliable in Ruvuma, and drought there did not affect welfare. Surprisingly, neither did health shocks, plausibly because of lower medical expenditures given limited health care provisions. See Less -
Policy Research Working Paper WPS4406 NOV 01, 2007
Christiaensen, Luc; Hoffmann, Vivian; Sarris, Alexander
Much has been written on the determinants of input and technology adoption in agriculture, with issues such as input availability, knowledge and education, risk preferences, profitability, and credit constraints receiving much attention. ... See More + This paper focuses on a factor that has been less well documented-the differential ability of households to take on risky production technologies for fear of the welfare consequences if shocks result in poor harvests. Building on an explicit model, this is explored in panel data for Ethiopia. Historical rainfall distributions are used to identify the counterfactual consumption risk. Controlling for unobserved household and time-varying village characteristics, it emerges that not just ex-ante credit constraints, but also the possibly low consumption outcomes when harvests fail, discourage the application of fertilizer. The lack of insurance causes inefficiency in production choices. See Less -
Policy Research Working Paper WPS4257 JUN 01, 2007
Dercon, Stefan; Christiaensen, Luc
Following the endorsement by the international community of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), there has been an increasing demand for practical methods for steadily tracking poverty. ... See More + An economically intuitive and inexpensive methodology is explored for doing so in the absence of regular, comparable data on household consumption. The minimum data requirements for this methodology are the availability of a household budget survey and a series of surveys with a comparable set of asset data also contained in the budget survey. This method is illustrated using a series of demographic and health surveys for Kenya. See Less -
Journal Article 77547 MAY 01, 2007
Stifel, David; Christiaensen, Luc
This book contributes to the debate about the role of agriculture in poverty reduction by addressing three sets of questions: Does investing in agriculture enhance/harm overall economic growth, and if so, under what conditions? ... See More + Do poor people tend to participate more/less in growth in agriculture than in growth in other sectors, and if so, when? If a focus on agriculture would tend to yield larger participation by the poor, but slower overall growth, which strategy would tend to have the largest payoff in terms of poverty reduction, and under which conditions?

Help me choose my next suspension setup!
Recently I ran over a rock, almost a foot off the ground, that was in the middle of the road. It was dark and i didnt see it until the last second. As a result i bent the rim, blew the wheel bearing, needed a new axle, alignment got set off and my strut blew.
So i got everything fixed but the strut because for some reason they didnt see that it was blown.
I have the Eibach pro-kit and I wasnt too fond of it to begin with. (the rear struts started squeeking after about 15k) Im thinking about either getting stock svt suspension or Bilstein monotubes so i never have to worry about bottoming out again. My only concern with the Bilstein kit is that it comes with the same springs that I have and I didnt think they were stiff enough for how low they drop the car to begin with.
My question is if I got the Bilstein kit would I notice a handling difference with the same springs but better monotube struts.? I feel like the better dampening of the monotube will compensate for the softer eibach spring but i dont want to regret buying them like i did my pro-kit.
I really dont want to buy twin tubes after this happening since I live in the sticks and something like this could happen again. I could care less about ride quality i just want to handle the best possible and I like the monotube design. Do you guys think the monotubes are worth it over the stock svt kit?

Pretty quiet, a few blocks from Union Square, good views, great bed and shower, friendly staff.
Computer and booking issues on their end when I tried to extend my stay.
Nice place, clean
Location, had this Westin mixed up with the Westin on union square. Staff at check in/out could of been friendlier Room was muggy
We were only there overnight and slept in a bit too long and missed breakfast by 5 minutes. We explained to the hostess Cecilia that my husband is a diabetic and she immediately went back to the kitchen and returned with two plates loaded with scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon and hash browns. She then brought orange juice and toast, a platter of charcutierre and a banana! And to top it off, we couldn't pay because breakfast had ended. Cecilia went above and beyond for us and her kindness will be remembered. We also received an upgrade at check-in and an extended check-out.
That we only we're staying one night!
During the busiest time of the year they only had 3 out of 5 working elevators. NEVER EVER EVER, should a guest couple ever get a flea bite especially when I don't own a dog, UNACCEPTABLE!
My husband and I ran to the Ferry Building. Our family walked to AT&T Park for Cirque Du Soleil. Shopped at Union Square. Perfect get away!
Excellent staff and amenities.
Price of parking excessive.
Pretty convenient for what we were up to in SOMA. Not sure how perfect if you want to do things in the north of SF, but for South SF it was great. The staff was helpful in recommendations and assistance. Beds comfy and all good for price relative to options.
Excellent restaurant with lots of seating options, great location, modern rooms
Could have been a bit more upscale: at the entrance, the bathrooms
bathroom is old, still with a shower curtain....
Bed was hard
We got a great deal on bookin.com on this hotel. It was pretty much 40 percent off, thats why we took it. We arrived and our room wasnt ready so they upgraded us without us asking to the 21st floor. AMAZING room. We were like..Is this for real? super comfy, super views. It was ridiculous.. Staff was more than great. So helpful, so great.. Location. Third and Market. Need i say anything???? Close to all of the good stuff!
Price of parking (if you have a car). 67 dollars? Then again..this is SF right..
Location was fair
Fitness Center was crowded - no way to work out early. Business Center only with one printer and was b&w. Parking way expensive. Internet is not free is all rooms.
-fitness center -location -brand
-bar in restaurant close early at night, no live music or activities offered. -old fashion style rooms, bathrooms and decor need an update/restyle -expensive night at the hotel and then why paying extra $$$ for wifi? -not that well at being customer oriented -breakfast buffet price well to high in comparison to competition and market average ($29 per breakfast)
Spacious room with nice furnishings and comfortable bed, 50" HDTV
Location was the best for the shopping and Christmas lighting we were there for.
My staying in Westin was very good. Very clean and comfortable bed.
Only one thing at morning the maid knocked in my door four times to check am I in the room or not :)
I have stayed here many times and many other places as well. I always choose this property first. Best location, best of everything!
Location was ideal
The bathroom was not the same as in the picture
The staff was courteous, the room was comfortable.
Internet access should be free to all guests. In addition, the need to login for access on a daily basis was annoying.
Great floor to ceiling windows with a city view and central location right off Market Street (avoid Union Square, it's a little bit dodgy). Great value for money overall.
For this price, breakfast should be included.
Excellent location, very comfortable bed and very capable staff.
Charged in excess of $15 a day for internet which was free in every other hotel during our trip. Allowing dogs as a 'pet friendly' hotel meant we were woken both mornings at 0500 by barking and the owner trying to hush their pet. Both factors unacceptable in a top hotel.
Excellent location - easy walk to Union Square, the Embarcadero, Financial district and Montgomery BART station. Best location in the city from our point of view. Be sure to check out Yerba Buena gardens and the open space behind the hotel. We have been to this Westin at least 3 times and only noticed the gardens this time. Not all the interesting stuff is out the front door.
Make sure to not get the small rooms. Only 220 sq ft. The larger rooms are way better.
Proximity to Bart, Union Square, shopping. The bed was great. We asked for a room with a view and we did have a great view.
The room was the size of a camper. Not even a comfortable chair to sit in. There was a desk chair but where does the second person sit? The hotel blocked our "hot spot" on our phones so we were forced to pay for internet connections.
cleanliness, bed was super comfy
the value for the money did not match up, the walls were paper thin and we could hear everything that went on in the hall, the air conditioner did not work properly, the price of the snacks in the fridge were ridiculous, $4 for a canned coke, really??

Remington Shot Saver Bench Rest is rated out of 5 by 37.Rated 4 out of 5 by texyz from great shooting rest for the price!! This is a good,solid shooting rest. It is of sturdy, all metal construction(mostly cast) and very stable. While not as nicely finished as the more expensive rests out there, it works well in all the ways it needs to. the adjustable feet are a nice feature. They have a spiked bottom for use on a rough wood table or on the ground but also have rubber covers for more civilized shooting benches. The elevation lock handle is another good point. The elevation wheel has a bit of play in it to allow quick,smooth changes but the lock fixes it in place solidly when you get it in the right place. Overall I am quite pleased with this good looking and functional rest-especially considering how little it cost!Date published: 2014-11-07Rated 5 out of 5 by ROBERT from Pretty good.Date published: 2014-05-30Rated 5 out of 5 by STEPHEN E from Good product for the price.Date published: 2014-05-07Rated 5 out of 5 by BRITT from Excellent piece of gear. Just as advertised.Date published: 2014-03-09Rated 4 out of 5 by STEPHEN from This bench rest was as described and appears to be of reasonable quality. I wish the pad was better made, but it is ok.Date published: 2013-12-17Rated 5 out of 5 by DALLAS from This is a great bench rest for the price. After using it on the range, I'm quite pleased with it!Date published: 2013-11-25Rated 5 out of 5 by TERRANCE from Very good value for the money, bench rest is highly adjustable and very stable. I would recommend this very highly.Date published: 2013-11-16Rated 5 out of 5 by ARMANDO from looks strong and easy to adjust would recommend price rightDate published: 2013-10-31

Californication Review: Dog Waterby Chris O'Hara at . Comments
"At the Movies" opened like so many other episodes of Californication, with Hank and Charlie starting their morning together. As the episode unfolded, however, we saw that such good mornings may be no more as the bromance was dealt a knock out blow thanks to Charlie's decision to sign Tyler. I guess that is what happens when a guy who normally thinks with his penis listens to his gut. Lizzie was his very own Yoko Porno this week as she helped Charlie make the decision that ultimately cost him his greatest friend. (I did like the rubber ducky in sunglasses though bobbing along next to Charlie in his own shades.)
Just when I was starting to like Tyler he went and showed his immaturity by making Charlie jump through hoops. While I loved the cameo by Brian Thompson, the Night Slasher from 1986's Cobra, did those guys he was hanging with really seem like they would be his group of friends let alone the kind of guys who would stand watch while their buddy slapped the taste out of a guy's mouth with his baby making parts?
Samurai's big film kicked off this week and I wish butchering one of cinema's greatest lines was the only crime committed by the Malibu Cop. While I understood his erratic behavior when it came to Kali, going all King of Pop and dangling Hank off the balcony because of his dalliance with the movie's leading lady and her pound puppies seemed a bit dramatic. Even if it was to only save face, to then follow it up with the gut shot just didn't rest well with me. Hank is off the picture, but there's no chance that is the last we have seen of Rza's character. With the Kali storyline still unresolved there will hopefully be ample chances for him to once again bring da ruckus.
After the laughter of last week though came the tears of disappointment that even a reunion of Karen, Becca and Hank couldn't wash away. I very much hope Becca has a larger role in the remaining episodes because I found her limited screen time tonight to be her worst to date. Madeleine Martin is so capable and deserves so much more for all her time on the show and for the influence her character has on her protagonist papa.
oct31 One more thing to say is that an online nssibeus administration diploma is designed for learners to be able to efficiently proceed to bachelor's degree programs. The Ninety credit certification meets the lower bachelor diploma requirements then when you earn your associate of arts in BA online, you will possess access to the latest technologies in this field. Several reasons why students need to get their associate degree in nssibeus is because they're interested in the field and want to obtain the general schooling necessary before jumping to a bachelor college diploma program. Thanks alot : ) for the tips you provide in the blog.
I think Charlie has right to represent Tyler as well as Hank. Given some similarities in their purple prose, don't they represent different generations? Presumably he represents other writers as well? BUT, the problem is, his best friend asked him NOT to! for very personal reasons. Ya think he might have let that sink in and passed, specially in light of the dick slapping he later endured to prove himself to the upstart.
charlie is DEAD WRONG, and if i were hank, id fire him too... hank has stuck with him through thick and thin; never before (that we know) has he told him he cant represent a person- this is the first time. and what does charlie do? he goes against his client/best friend, and signs the deusche bag? screw that chris- its unacceptable on so many levels. im angry just thinking about it. i cant wait to tyler screws him and he realized what a poor decision he made!
What are people's feelings on Charlie signing Tyler against Hank's wishes? Was Hank being selfish or was Charlie in the wrong?
At the movies, episode was pretty much different from old ones. Hank finally decided to write scripts for movies. He joined up his previous director to make a movie.
"marc" thx for the kind words. Interesting that you liken Tyler to Mia, very similar in some ways. This is different for me though because Becca is in the line of fire and any fall out Tyler runs into will hurt her as well. Speaking of Becca how come we haven't seen her with her guitar once this season? Music has always been such a big part of her character.
Getting back to this week, I think Charlie is aware of Lizzie's motives. I reference the conversation he and Stu had.
Stu: I know I'm not a handsome man, but I am a very successful man. I know what it's like to be hit on by pretty young things who want something from me.
Charlie: Must be nice, wish I did.
Whether he is being used or not I don't think he really cares so long at the hot tub oral exams continue.
"MarkHill" Is it safe to say you did not appreciate my Cobra reference or found it misplaced? In the case of Brian Thompson, for me his most memorable role will always be the Night Slasher. Maybe the alien bounty hunter from X-Files would have been more apropo given your example, but he hasn't really had the kind of career that is full of memorable characters in my opinion. I'm guessing in the case of Mr. Colt 45 himself you would use Lando Calrissian as your reference opposite Harrison Ford. Fair enough, I see where you are coming from, point taken.
Referencing the fact that Brian Thompson was the Night Slasher in Cobra while guest appearing on a show with Duchovny would be like saying that Billy D Williams was Harvey Dent in Batman if he appeared on a show with Harrison Ford.
PS - Hank is still the man, i love the words that come out of his mouth
Californication has turned to shit a bit! Samurai is the worst character they have introduced to date and i have watched every series. Going down the hip hop path was a massive error in my view. Now Lou Ashby was a great character but it just might be me hating rap/hip hop and loving the rock scene but I always saw Californication in more of a rock light then ever hip hop if that makes sence. If there is another series please scrap the Rap componet. Some of the character are getting too weird to be funny i.e Stu and Charlie is getting pretty dam Odd its un-humerous.

FAO Regional Representative for Asia-Pacific
WELCOME ADDRESSbyHe ChangchuiAssistant Director-General and Regional Representative for Asia and the PacificDelivered at the
28-30 May 2007Bangkok, Thailand
Distinguished participants,Colleagues,Ladies and gentlemen,
It is my pleasure to welcome you on behalf of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations to this FAO Regional Training Workshop on an Integrated Approach to Biosecurity.
Biosecurity is a new concept and one that is assuming an ever-increasing profile at the global and national level. Trends that have increased the spotlight on biosecurity are expanding international movements of people and products such as trade in food, and plant and animal products. Other factors impacting on the importance of biosecurity are new outbreaks of transboundary diseases in people, animals and plants, as well as the growing membership of the World Trade Organization and consequent need for WTO members to comply with global agreements like the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreement (SPS).
At the same time, changes in the way food, plants and animals are produced, processed and distributed, and the use of new technologies, have introduced new concerns about the health of plants and animals, as well as food safety and agricultural and environmental sustainability.
Ladies and gentlemen,
The term biosecurity is used to mean different things in different countries and contexts. In FAO, the concept of biosecurity was first discussed in a 2002 Expert Consultation which defined biosecurity as a strategic and integrated approach that encompasses the policy and regulatory frameworks (including instruments and activities) that analyse and manage risks in the sectors of food safety, animal life and health, and plant life and health, including associated environmental risks.
Biosecurity is a holistic concept that is directly relevant to the sustainability of agriculture, food safety, and the protection of the environment including biodiversity. It covers the introduction of plant pests, animal pests and diseases, and zoonoses, the introduction and release of genetically modified organisms and their products, and the introduction and management of invasive alien species.
However, issues encompassed in biosecurity are often dealt with by governments on a sectoral basis. In most countries, several ministries are involved in the formulation and implementation of food safety laws, and animal and plant quarantine and pesticide regulations. It is common that the different stakeholders organize their work without much attention to other sectors and limited attention is paid to the interdisciplinary nature of biosecurity.
In many cases, this fragmented approach to food safety and animal and plant health and life results in a lack of strategic focus, inefficient use of scarce resources and less than optimal results. In the worst cases, it can seriously compromise the ability of countries to respond to and manage risks to human, animal and plant life and health when they occur. This can have potentially significant adverse health impacts in all biosecurity sectors, as well as other negative effects such as disruptions to livelihoods, economic damage, loss of consumer trust, disruptions to trade, loss of biodiversity, unintended changes to ecosystems, and so on.
While in the past a sectoral approach to biosecurity may have been sufficient to cope with the risks, it is clear that it is not sufficient to effectively deal with the challenges facing us today. I am sure you will agree with me that biosecurity hazards of various types exist in each sector and have a high potential to move across sectors. Inadequate controls in one sector can have far-reaching consequences for other sectors.
Governments need to demonstrate to their population as well as trading partners that they can guarantee a safe food supply, prevent and control zoonotic aspects of public health, ensure the sustainability of agriculture, safeguard terrestrial, freshwater and marine environments, and protect biodiversity. This is a huge challenge and one that, in most countries, competes with several other important priorities.
During the past decade, some governments have moved towards an integrated approach to biosecurity that harmonizes and rationalizes policy, legislation and core roles and responsibilities as a means to better manage relevant risks in food and agriculture. Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Norway and Belize are some of the countries that are implementing an integrated biosecurity approach. Their experiences have demonstrated some of the benefits to be achieved – such as simplification of biosecurity legislation, more efficient use of resources, opportunities to develop a single import health standard that meets all biosecurity needs, improved emergency preparedness and response, integrated surveillance systems. This new, integrated approach to manage risks in food and agriculture is strongly supported by FAO and other international organizations.
At the international level, responsibilities for the sectors of biosecurity are shared among a number of organizations and bodies. Reflecting its mandate and competencies, FAO plays a leading role in normative work and technical assistance, at the both the national and international levels, to support the implementation of an integrated biosecurity approach. Related activities include the organization of expert and technical consultations on biosecurity, the development of tools to assist countries to apply a biosecurity approach and support capacity building, and the development and operation of the International Portal on Food Safety, Animal and Plant Health to facilitate provision and exchange of relevant information. In addition, FAO plays an important role in the Standards and Trade Development Facility (STDF) which aims at assisting developing countries enhance their expertise and capacity to analyze and implement international sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) standards, improve human, animal and plant health situation, and thus the ability to gain and maintain market access.
The FAO Technical Consultation on Biological Risk Management in Food and Agriculture held in Bangkok in January 2003 stressed the need for FAO to provide the necessary guidance and tools to assist developing countries in their efforts to move towards an integrated approach to biosecurity. In response, FAO has developed a Biosecurity Toolkit with support from the Government of Norway.
This toolkit recognizes that there is no universally acceptable or standardized policy or infrastructure that should govern national biosecurity systems. It offers countries guidance to develop and implement national biosecurity systems in accordance with their international obligations and based on their particular needs.
This workshop is one of three regional workshops organized by FAO based on this new toolkit. Others are being held in Latin America and Africa this month. The purpose of the workshop is to increase awareness and knowledge about an integrated approach to food safety, animal and plant health, and to provide training on assessing capacity needs as a means to determine what is required to strengthen biosecurity capacity at the country level. Identifying needs is an essential first step in the process of strengthening biosecurity capacity. Needs assessment and capacity building are a means to an end. The overall goal is to enhance the capability of countries to protect human health, agricultural production systems and the people and industries that depend on them. But there are likely to be other benefits as well, such as helping to safeguard the environment, protecting against the uncertainties associated with new technologies, improving capacity to meet obligations under international agreements like the SPS Agreement, and enabling countries to take advantage of new trade opportunities.
FAO has organized many workshops and trainings on different sectors and aspects of biosecurity in the past. But this is one of the first regional trainings focusing specifically on an integrated approach to biosecurity and the use of the new FAO Biosecurity Toolkit. As such, this workshop constitutes a milestone in laying foundations for future country-level activities on biosecurity in the region.
FAO is pleased that you have been able and interested in taking time out of your busy work schedules to join us here. I wish you all the best during the next three days, and look forward to hearing about the outcomes of this workshop.
Thank you.
