"I picked this design because it was matched the floral for our wedding and the script was nice but not too small or difficult to read. I ordered samples of each different paper option during a sale event--very helpful in decision making. The only problem with the invitation was the wording, which was easily fixed by the WPD designer. 2 days later we received the proof and it was perfect. Excited to send them out to our family and friends!"
"We did not want the cursive writing (mainly my fiance did not want..) but we still wanted somple elegant. This was the perfect combination. The team here was also very helpful in changing the colors to match our wedding."
"As soon as I saw this invite I fell in love with it but it would not let me order a sample of the wedding invite. So, I opted to order a sample of the same design in a thank you card. It was everything I expected and more! I ended up ordering the wedding invite on pearl paper and bronze envelopes... wow stunning, dreamy, ethereal :) perfect for my garden wedding!"
"I am so very pleased with the outcome of my invitations! The paper quality is amazing, very sturdy, smooth, and feels much more expensive that it was! The printing is precise and clear, and the colors are identical to what you see on the screen. I am beyond thrilled with my invites and cannot wait to send them out!"
"I am having a summer wedding in a garden, and these invites perfectly captured our wedding. They are simple, sturdy, and elegant. The design process was a breeze and we received our invites in days. I can't wait to send them out!"

Update: Microsoft revenue boosted by Windows 7
Update: Microsoft revenue boosted by Windows 7
By Joab Jackson January 28, 2010 05:50 PM ET IDG News Service - Thanks largely to the Windows 7 launch, Microsoft on Thursday reported a strong increase in net income and revenue for its second quarter of fiscal 2010. The company rang up $6.66 billion in net income, an increase of 60% from the same period a year earlier. Revenue totalled $19.02 billion for the quarter ending Dec. 31, a 14% increase from the prior year. Part of the boost came from deferred revenue earned earlier this year, from pre-sales of Windows 7 to PC makers and retailers. This revenue amounted to $1.71 billion. Even without the deferred revenue, the results were in line with analyst expectations, with second-quarter revenue totaling $17.31 billion, and earnings of 60 cents per share. In a poll of analysts, Thomson Reuters showed an expected revenue of $17.9 billion and earnings per share of 59 cents. (was there any surprize to hearing that? ) |

I can't discuss i here but I know where a good deal of that could best be used at this time! Being that 7 is actually a success story you can sure that will be a profit maker for sure even with the lower retail tags for the different editions! But that was businesses count on to start with... namely "profits"!

I watch much, much, much smaller retail chains file bankruptcy and have close out clearance sales while 7 has been a large boost for MS there! Don't forget to add in Server 2008 entering the picture for the corporate side as well as the MS office products to add in on top of things.
One item the article doesn't mention is the large ad campaign being seen for 7 when comparing that to the little seen with the previous versions overall. And one other item to add to the list is netbooks coming into the picture as well as new laptops and desktops with 7 on them too. |

(Update with closing prices in second paragraph.)
Oct. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Cia. Energetica de Minas Gerais, the state-controlled electricity utility known as Cemig, fell the most in 11 weeks after it bid for a stake in EDP Energias de Portugal.
Cemig declined 3 percent to 26.75 reais at the close of trading, the most since Aug. 8. Brazil's benchmark Bovespa index slid 1.1 percent.
The company bid for a 21 percent stake in EDP that the Portuguese government is selling, according to a regulatory filing late yesterday. The stake is valued at around 4.6 billion reais ($2.6 billion), Bradesco Corretora wrote in a note to clients today.
"This potential acquisition would be negative for Cemig as we do not believe that the purchase of international assets, mostly in Europe, makes much sense for the company," Bradesco Corretora analysts Vladimir Pinto and Marcelo Sa wrote. "Moreover, Cemig's current balance sheet is not strong enough to support such a sizable acquisition."
Centrais Eletricas Brasileiras SA, Latin America's largest publicly traded utility, also made an offer for Portugal's stake in EDP, according to an Oct. 21 filing. Eletrobras, as the company is known, didn't disclose the financial terms of the offer.

I worked at Kohler full-time (more than 3 years)
ProsLarge company & opportunity for career change/advancement to the right employees. Many get stuck in a positon and are unable to move.
ConsToo much upper management and management that is not qualified (golden boys). The company management is very heavily lopsided towards the male side, and many of those males are still operating with the mindset of the 50s. Don't expect to excel to far too quickly if you are a female.
The company is also stong on favorites, regardless of your intellectual ability and career track record. It's more of a WHO you know, rather than WHAT you know kind of place.
They will wine and dine you as an intern, tell you all kinds of great things about career opportunity, travel, etc. Then after about 1-2 years, the reality sets in and you find out that it's all a bunch of lies to lure you in. Most people don't stick around for lthe long haul here, many get some experience for their resume and then move on.
You are JUST a number here, they really don't care about you as a person.Advice to ManagementAdviceRemove a few layers of upper management, hire some managers with great people skills, show that you actually care about your employees.

"Sauk Technologies and the Kohler Conduct Con "
- Comp & Benefits

- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I worked at Kohler full-time
Prosmediocre wage - equal to industry standard for the area
ConsEverything! Glassdoor will not allow (remove) a proper review of this Company, Sauk technologies) which is owned by Kohler. They make power generators here. Internal Culture is extremely poisonous. Supervisors lack the knowledge of the machines and skills used to make parts, but you have to go to them when something isnt correct only to be sent to someone who may know. Those people dont know because they dont run your machine or products. They have a written culture of ethics but its just that, written not practiced. Half the workers come from a temp agency, if you are one of those, understand the term "At Will" employment and remain on your guard! Probably the best way I can say it so the post will not get removed. Also understand what the Temp Agency you work for policy is and Kohler/Sauktech because if you ever do bring up a "concern" you could find yourself on the end of a angry phone call with someone saying you have no right to call Human Resources. So again, understand the term "At Wii" more than any handbook or what any person says in a meeting about coming forward with a concern, we dont discriminate.
Advice to ManagementAdviceManagement doesnt listen and dont care so why take the time to enter anything here. Its a manufacturing company that makes tons of dollars on manufacturing. They should follow their policies and and cfocus more on the Life, Balance part of thee Work - Life - Balance spiel on the wall.

Gear Question
i weight like 125 and am 5'4 what size...
i weight like 125 and am 5'4 what size would i be and would this be a good board for someone who is an intermediate rider try to get better at rails and stuff?
Kris McGregor
Yeah boy it is. It has the FK design in this board, whitch means that this board is made with rocker that extends from inside the binding inserts to the tip and tail. So you get a poppy yet buttery ride, whitch is more forgiving and has a less catchy feel while riding it. With most rocker boards they allow you to ride up to 5cm shorter than you reg sized board. So because the boards tips are raised, it is less catchy and allows for more float in the deep stuff. For your size tho, I would say get the 149. But if you think you will be growing mad quick, then go for the 151. Either one you will be stoked on. And if you are intermediate, this deck will boost your confidence a ton to get at those more advanced features of the mt. Awesome flex, solid ride and not too washy at higher speeds, and made by a solid company. Capita had problems with de-laming of their top sheets in a super fast time, and unfortunately it still seems that they still have this problem. Hope this helps :)

Regency Energy Partners Reports Second-Quarter 2011 Results
Regency Energy Partners LP (Nasdaq: RGNC), ("Regency" or the "Partnership"), announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Regency's adjusted EBITDA increased by approximately 40% to $103 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared to $74 million in the second quarter of 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of an interest in the Midcontinent Express Pipeline ("MEP"), Zephyr Gas Services, and an interest in the Lone Star Joint Venture, which was partially offset by lower hedge pricing in 2011 compared to 2010.
"Regency delivered strong results in the second quarter of 2011, fueled by our acquisition activity over the last year and volume growth in south and west Texas in our Gathering and Processing segment," said Mike Bradley, president and chief executive officer of Regency.
"In addition, during the quarter we announced three organic growth projects; a significant expansion of our gathering system in south Texas, as well as the construction of a new fractionation facility and the construction of a natural gas liquids pipeline through the Lone Star Joint Venture, which will strengthen our positions in the Eagle Ford Shale and Permian Basin," continued Bradley.
REVIEW OF SEGMENT PERFORMANCE Adjusted total segment margin increased approximately 8% to $99 million for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $92 million for the second quarter of 2010. Gathering and Processing – The Gathering and Processing segment provides wellhead-to-market services to producers of natural gas, which includes gathering raw natural gas from the wellhead through gathering systems, processing raw natural gas to separate NGLs from the raw natural gas and selling or delivering pipeline-quality natural gas and NGLs to various markets and pipeline systems. Adjusted segment margin for the Gathering and Processing segment, which excludes non-cash hedging gains and losses related to the Gathering and Processing segment, was $53 million for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $55 million for the second quarter of 2010. The decrease was primarily due to lower realized commodity prices.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

General public not impressed by Duggar family "witness" httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8r6upSGTXk by Vyckie Garrison During my Quiverfull days, I honestly believed that Michelle Duggar's TLC show - which began as "14 Children and Pregnant Again!" and is currently titled, "19 Kids & Counting" - was an awesome witness to "the world." I was in awe of the Duggar family, and it thrilled me that such a wholesome, godly family was given a national stage on which to exemplify for America what a truly biblical family looks like.I'm sure every detail of the Duggars' television show, numerous talk show interviews and guest appearances at political rallies is calculated to paint their … [Read more...]

How the Modesty Doctrine Hurts Men, Too
by SierraI've written a few times about how the modesty doctrine hurts women. Now it's time to switch lenses. The modesty doctrine also wreaks havoc on the minds of young men in the Christian patriarchy movement. Here's how:It teaches men to be afraid of women because their sexual power is too great to be resisted. It teaches men to despise women and hampers their relationships. It teaches men to be afraid of their own bodies. It teaches men to control and criticize women in order to protect themselves. It teaches men to be paranoid about their sexual orientation. It teaches gay men that they don't exist.(There are probably more consequences of which I'm not aware, so m … [Read more...]
But They Look So Happy!
Excerpted from Dulce De Leche:All of the recent news about the Duggar's newest baby spawned a number of online arguments. One of the most frequent comments was about how cheerful their family is, especially the children. How Michelle is a great mom who doesn't yell. It must be working for them, because the kids are well behaved and look happy. Sounds reasonable, right?I might believe it, if I didn't know what I know of Gothard/ATI and the Pearls. The Duggars are deeply enmeshed in ATI, and ATI takes allegiance very seriously. It isn't a vague Statement of Beliefs that you sign so your kids can take the courses.

The Destiny of a Virtuous Daughter ~ Part 3: Pop Guns & Purity Rings
by Starfury Growing up, I read books like The King's Daughter, Dear Princess, Beautiful Girlhood, Waiting for Her Isaac, and The Courtship of Sarah MacLean over and over. I would plan out having twenty six children, so I could use every letter of the alphabet when I named them. I would try to devise my own homeschool curriculum based on the ones I had used, and what I liked and didn't like about them. On top of all that, I was writing my own Proverbs 31 devotional.And yet, somewhere in all of this, I was still punching things into a "computer" on a tree, and yelling for everyone to get out and climb the Jeffries Tubes because of a warp core breach.

NLQ FAQ: The Bible & Accountability in Marriage – Part 2: The Marriage Covenant & Covenant Breaking

But the Bible does not teach that being a Christian is a formula, or that your actions will guarantee the response of someone else.

Daughter of the Patriarchy: Daybreak
by Sierra By the time I turned in my final remedial math exam, my family had settled into a tiny rental house in Pennsylvania. I was now eligible to start community college, getting prerequisites out of the way while finishing up my high school diploma.

"Taking Her Myself" A New Trend in Quiverfull Courtship/Betrothal
by Vyckie Garrison"Does God Hate Women?" author, Ophelia Benson recently shared a note which was posted on Reddit written by a young patriarch describing his "biblical marriage." As Bible-believing Baptists who hold to reformed theology, X and I believe that God is sovereign in choosing who will or will not believe in him, having chosen his people before the foundation of the world (see Ephesians 1), and that his selection is unbreakable and irresistible. If marriage is to mirror this principle, we believe that a woman has no right to select a husband for herself, but that she is to be chosen by a man and marriage is to be an unbreakable arrangement between the man and her father.

by StarfuryFor as much as my parents objected to many worldly things, they gave in on a surprising number of equally worldly things. Most notably, in my case, was the subject of ballet. I had always wanted to dance from a young age, and when I was 8, my parents finally agreed to let me begin to take classes. This was often something I was reminded to be grateful for--they weren't as conservative as other families, after all.In truth, I was grateful for it. I loved it with all my heart, and had great dreams of practicing hard and winding up as a prima ballerina for some famous worldwide touring company and performing all the famous ballets. There was only one problem with this idea... I … [Read more...]

July 22 (Bloomberg) -- Crude oil gained for a fourth day on optimism that the U.S. will increase its debt ceiling and as euro-region leaders worked to convince investors that plans to contain debt crisis will be adequate.
President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, seeking to avert a U.S. default, are pursuing a broad agreement to boost the debt limit. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said government chiefs had widened the scope of their bailout fund to allow it to buy the bonds of debt-laden nations.
"The Europeans came to a deal to bail out Greece and at the same time they are moving toward a consensus to raise the debt ceiling here in the U.S.," said Kyle Cooper, director of research for IAF Advisors in Houston. "Those are being used as somewhat positive news for oil."
Crude for September delivery rose 54 cents, or 0.5 percent, to $99.67 a barrel at 12:25 p.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices have gained 9.1 percent this year and 2.5 percent this week.
Brent for September settlement rose 89 cents to $118.40 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange.
The euro fell 0.5 percent to $1.4349 in New York, its first decline in four days. The Standard & Poor's index gained 0.1 percent to 1,344.51.
Oslo Bomb
Oil also gained after a bomb blast in central Oslo shattered windows at the prime minister's office and nearby buildings and killed at least one person.
"The attack in Oslo is supportive because of the uncertainty it created," said Phil Flynn, an analyst with PFGBest in Chicago. "More than anything, the U.S. debt showdown is really dominating everything."
Obama and Boehner, each facing strife within his own ranks and dwindling time to avert a U.S. default, pressed for a broad agreement to boost the debt limit while cutting spending by trillions of dollars and overhauling the tax code.
Negotiators are "not close to an agreement," the speaker told reporters after meeting with rank-and-file House Republicans today. "I would suggest it is going to be a hot weekend here in Washington."
Euro-area leaders announced 159 billion euros ($229 billion) in new aid for Greece yesterday. Merkel said government chiefs had learned from "systemic effects" in the single- currency area and widened the scope of their bailout fund to allow it to buy the bonds of debt-laden nations, support banks and offer credit lines.
'Back From Brink'
European leaders brought the region "back from the brink" as they agreed to support the new bailout package for Greece and to give new powers to the euro area's rescue fund, said Fitch Ratings' David Riley.
"The market has been boosted by Greek bailout euphoria, but even that was insufficient to move Brent above $120," said Christopher Bellew, senior broker at Jefferies Bache Ltd. in London.
U.S. fuel demand rose in June as consumption of diesel by truckers reached a record high, according to the American Petroleum Institute.
Total deliveries of petroleum products, a measure of demand, climbed 2.9 percent to 22.2 million barrels a day last month from a year earlier, the industry-funded group said today in a report. Gasoline usage was almost unchanged from the year before, with all of the increase coming from other fuels.
No New Release
The U.S. and 27 allies said yesterday that they don't plan to extend the release of emergency oil stockpiles announced through the International Energy Agency last month.
The Paris-based agency said that while it's prepared to "augment" the sale of 60 million barrels first announced on June 23, this intervention combined with higher output from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries will for now "substantially cover" the loss of exports caused by an armed conflict in Libya.
The Libyan revolt, which began in February, has reduced the availability of light, sweet crude, or oil with low density and sulfur content. The country's output fell 50,000 barrels, or 25 percent, to 150,000 barrels a day last month, a Bloomberg News survey showed, the lowest amount in yearly data since 1962. It pumped 1.59 million barrels in January, before the uprising.
The IEA's action was the third time the agency has coordinated the use of emergency stockpiles since it was founded in 1974. The first was during the 1991 Persian Gulf War and the second in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf of Mexico.

Centennial has some guilty looking leaves compared to other varieties I've grown. I can see a resemblance to its cousin... Hopefully my neighbor doesn't mistake it for a different kind of plant.
Like a Japanese maple?
LOL! My cents look identical. SWMBO grew a flower last year that looked exactly like said cousin. I can't remember the name but she shared some starts with relatives and they all gave here the susipcious eye when they took them Just remembered, they were called celomes(sp?) clomes....I don't know. If you see them you'll know what I mean.
Looking forward to brewing some beer
I was surprised at the resemblance with the Centennials. My MT. Hood have much fatter leaves making it look like a completely different plant. Up close, it's pretty obvious that the Centennials are not "hemp" but from 10 feet away, it looks somewhat similar. My wife even commented on it, asking if I was sure I knew what I planted. As far as I know, the cousin doesn't grow from rhizomes...
Gotta be careful....some folks don't fancy to "Jap Maple" kinda talk....Gunny G's: BEER, HOMBREWING, FORUM, Etc. BREW YOUR OWN BEER!: Ya just never know where those "censored" hop stories are going to turn up, do ya?

Tom Ford's Got a Brand New Store to Wear His $10,000 Boots In
>> Tom Ford was never one for low-dollar apparel; As he introduced reporters to his new store in Milan yesterday, where suits will sell for upwards of $3,800, he himself was wearing $10,000 boots.
Later, the man of the hour and his business partner through thick and thin, Domenico De Sole, celebrated the store opening at a Milanese palazzo with a chatty Anna Wintour, Tom Ford campaign model (NSFW) Jon Kortajarena, and a camera shy Miuccia Prada. Full gallery of the festivities below.

1 Concerning the sons of Ammon. Thus says the LORD : "Does Israel have no sons? Or has he no heirs? Why then has Malcam taken possession of Gad And his people settled in its cities? | 1 Concerning the Ammonites: This is what the LORD says: "Has Israel no sons? Has she no heirs? Why then has Molech taken possession of Gad? Why do his people live in its towns? |
2 "Therefore behold, the days are coming," declares the LORD , "That I will cause a trumpet blast of war to be heard Against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon; And it will become a desolate heap, And her towns will be set on fire. Then Israel will take possession of his possessors," Says the LORD . | 2 But the days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will sound the battle cry against Rabbah of the Ammonites; it will become a mound of ruins, and its surrounding villages will be set on fire. Then Israel will drive out those who drove her out," says the LORD. |
3 "Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai has been destroyed! Cry out, O daughters of Rabbah, Gird yourselves with sackcloth and lament, And rush back and forth inside the walls; For Malcam will go into exile Together with his priests and his princes. | 3 "Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is destroyed! Cry out, O inhabitants of Rabbah! Put on sackcloth and mourn; rush here and there inside the walls, for Molech will go into exile, together with his priests and officials. |
4 "How boastful you are about the valleys! Your valley is flowing away, O backsliding daughter Who trusts in her treasures, saying, 'Who will come against me?' | 4 Why do you boast of your valleys, boast of your valleys so fruitful? O unfaithful daughter, you trust in your riches and say, 'Who will attack me?' |
5 "Behold, I am going to bring terror upon you," Declares the Lord GOD of hosts, "From all directions around you; And each of you will be driven out headlong, With no one to gather the fugitives together. | 5 I will bring terror on you from all those around you," declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty. "Every one of you will be driven away, and no one will gather the fugitives. |
6 "But afterward I will restore The fortunes of the sons of Ammon," Declares the LORD . | 6 "Yet afterward, I will restore the fortunes of the Ammonites," declares the LORD. |

text: Alright, I'm going to come clean with you guys, I was a pretty bad girl this weekend! I went away, up north, and ate out (fast food) a couple times :( I don't eat greasy food often. On my way home today, I started feeling really.... "weird". I can't explain the feeling, I really can't. Kind of feels like a cat scratching at my insides, with earth worms crawling around inside of me (Ewwww....I know!) So my friend said I was probably hungry, so we stopped at :devil: Wendy's :devil: and I got some food. Well about 20 minutes later I started gagging and made her pull over in the middle of a crowded highway in Toronto and started puking my guts up! (Yeah, one of my finer moments) So the rest of the way home I felt HORRIBLE. I was in tears, I was in pain, and I just wanted to get the heck home. It even hurt my stomach to breathe. My back felt funny. As soon as I got home, I ran to the bathroom, feeling horrible, stuck a toothbrush down my throat, and forced myself to vomit the rest up. I took some pepto after that, and went to bed. I feel better now, but now I'm wondering what's wrong with me. It's happened to me before when I ate too much greasy food after I stopped eating that crap for almost 6 months, and it just started this year, and normally it only happens to me if I eat that crap late at night, but this was BY FAR the worse it has EVER been. I literally wanted to curl up in a ball and die. I have learned my lesson, and I will NEVER touch greasy fast food again. I promise! but what's happening to me :?:

I have this mascara and i think it works great for volumizing and lengthening! People tell me that my lashes look really long, pretty, and also ask me if im wearing false eyelashes, which i dont. The only con is that it tends clumping a little after a few coats. But other than that its awesome!
More reviews by smallmediumatlrg
The brush on this mascara looks NOTHING like what is on the packaging and in the ads. When the brush bristles themselves are clumping together you know the mascara is bad. At least it was cheap.
I'm so happy I bought this mascara. I usually spend $20 or so on high end mascaras that don't give me the results I want. But this makes my lashes extremely volumized and even lengthens them slightly. It does dry a little crunchy but I've pretty much found that mascara does that to my lashes so I'll get over it. But I will definately repurchase- I haven't found a mascara that volumizes my lashes like this does in a long time.
I was very excited to try my first L'oreal mascara. I've been using L'ancome hypnose for ages, and this is my third day with the L'oreal one.
1) Wand HURTS. :( It's irritating to my eyelash base.
2) Leaves my eyelashes very very hard. I'm not sure about this as the lancome one seemed to be a whole lot softer.
3) The blackest black isn't that black...
I won't be buying again but I will be using this until it runs out. I don't believe in returning mascara. I'm just sad I got two of them. I've been using them daily and the hurting issue has gone away as I'm less harsh on my eyelashes when applying but now I also noticed that my eyelashes look over done when I do more than two coats. I was used to doing multiple coats with my lancome because I have short and stubby lashes.
This mascara works like a high end mascara in my opinion. It's not meant for a natural look because it will give you a ton of volume. I especially like to apply several coats and separate my lashes with the comb. You will need to comb your lashes if you plan on using several coats. It's my favorite mascara at the moment!
I LOVE this mascara! I am a mascara addict and have tried tons and tons of brands, drug store and high-end. I have naturally very long lashes, so I start with a lengthening mascara of a different brand. Then I add this ExtraVolume Collagen on top. Its fantastic! It adds volume to my long lashes and thickens them to false proportions. Doesn't flake either! The one qualm I have is it CAN clump, but after a few coats I simply use an eyelash comb to finish- Minimal extra effort but its worth it! I wouldn't suggest this mascara for users with naturally short or medium lashes either.
I bought this because I have the Telescopic and it doesn't make my eyes itchy, but I wanted more volume. This makes my eyes itchy, clumps, flakes, and is basically horrible. The brush sucks too. It was $5 on sale, so that should have been a sign. I suggest using the Telescopic Carbon Black because it has a little rubber brush and doesn't clump but makes your lashes longer. I just wish it gave more volume. It also comes in a wide tube that is kind of too big to carry around in your purse.
Like another reviewer, I experienced my eyelashes being destroyed by this mascara. I didn't sleep in it like her, but I had it on for a 12+ hour day. It shortened my eyelashes by half, though it happened in a more extreme way on my right eye.
I was in a state of shock when I went to curl my eyelashes and found they were so stubby I couldn't even grasp some of them.
That said, I think the outer casing is very appealing.
Naturally, it is up to the reader as to whether or not they want to take heed. When I read the other reviewer's experience I was a little shocked, since I have never heard of that happening before. I figured it was an over exaggeration, or a fluke. I know now that it wasn't. Naturally, I won't buy this product again.

- The next big move in rates may be triggered by concerns about possible future Fed rate hikes.
- High-quality bonds may struggle to generate coupon-like returns.
- Emerging markets may ultimately benefit from the synchronized uptick in growth in global developed markets.
With nearly two months of the year behind us, we thought now would be a good time to see how the fixed-income market is faring in 2014 and assess our outlook. We asked our investment team five questions to help capture our view on the market today.
Are we still concerned about rising interest rates?
Yes. Looking at the big picture, we are still in the early stages of the Federal Reserve's (the Fed) exit process. Tapering, or the reduction in asset purchases by the central bank, will likely continue at a steady pace over the course of the year, unless the economy experiences a dramatic shift from its current path.
Tapering was the story of 2013 and largely explains the significant rise in intermediate- and long-term rates last summer. The next big move in rates may be triggered by concerns about possible future Fed rate hikes. We aren't there, yet — and a move by the Fed before 2015 seems highly unlikely — but similar to the tapering trade, expect bonds to re-price well in advance of any Fed action. An important difference in the next big move in rates is that it will likely take place in shorter maturities rather than long maturities. In bond jargon, we expect the yield curve to flatten.
Has the outlook for high quality bonds improved?
Modestly. 2013 was the second worst calendar year on record for the Barclays Aggregate Index with a negative return of 2.9% and only the third negative total return for the Index (data going back to 1976). The other negative return years — 1994 and 1999 — were followed by healthy double digit gains.
Why not a similar bounce in 2014? First, the starting point (yield) is much lower today than at the beginning of 1995 and 2000, even after last year's rate move. Also, the Fed is just starting the exit process by turning down/off quantitative easing and the market hasn't priced in any significant future rate hikes, yet. Finally, risk premiums, or the extra yield spread that investors command for non-Treasury sectors, are at or near the tight end of recent range. In other words, mortgage and investment-grade corporate risk premiums may not be able to tighten enough to offset the effect of rising rates. High-quality bonds may struggle to generate coupon-like returns, which is better than last year but nothing to brag about.
Do we prefer high-yield bonds or bank loans?
High-yield bonds. High-yield bonds and bank loans were the only two winning sectors in fixed income in 2013 with returns of 7% and 5%, respectively. We are comfortable holding our current positions in high yield and bank loans, but not adding. Corporate fundamentals remain strong, which is supportive of both asset classes. Some credit metrics have deteriorated modestly — leverage and shareholder activism on the rise — but defaults remain very low by historical standards at less than 2%. Valuations are pricing in low default rates to persist at or near current levels.
The reason we pick high-yield bonds over loans may seem counter intuitive, but it is mostly about technicals. Both sectors experienced strong inflows in 2013, but the pace of flows into bank loans has been extreme. Given our own rate concerns, we sympathize with investors who are attracted to loans based on decent fundamentals and no interest rate risk, but this appears fully reflected in current prices. We doubt these two sectors will perform as well as they did in 2013, but we think they will fare better than most other fixed income choices in 2014.
Will emerging market bonds finish first or last?
First. In 2012, emerging market (EM) bonds generated the highest total return in fixed income (18%). Last year, EM bond returns ranked near the bottom, losing more than 4%. Recent poor performance can be explained as payback (reversal of strong inflows when the sector was in favor), concerns about tapering, China slowing and deteriorating growth prospects more broadly in EM countries. Countries in the EM debt market that suffered the most last year were those that ran large current account deficits and faced potential funding challenges when the Fed tapered (i.e., the so-called "Fragile Five" countries of India, Indonesia, Turkey, Brazil and South Africa).
These risks warrant caution for sure, but the broad sell-off may be creating opportunities in countries that make prudent policy decisions regarding fiscal policy, interest rate management, etc. Moreover, the next big theme for the EM debt market may be less about current account deficits and more about overall level of growth. To that end, while some countries continue to disappoint in this area, we think emerging markets will ultimately benefit from the synchronized uptick in growth in global developed markets. To qualify our answer to the question, we have a fairly high conviction that EM bonds will perform well in 2014, and a very high conviction the sector will perform well over the next three years.
Same question for municipal bonds?
Maybe not first, but should win a medal. Municipal bonds suffered with most other high-quality fixed-income sectors in 2013. The asset class tends to have longer durations so rising rates can be challenging. Munis also suffered from negative headlines (such as Detroit, Puerto Rico) and persistent outflows. But the underperformance of the sector appeared excessive to us. Any fixed income asset class that has duration warrants some caution, but intermediate- and high-yield muni funds may be attractive alternatives with less rate sensitivity. The headlines are not trivial — especially Puerto Rico — but we do not think the issues are widespread as most state and local finances appear on the upswing. Finally, we would agree with the prevailing view that tax rates are not moving lower anytime soon and the tax advantage of municipal bonds is compelling.

The 3-in-1 Apple Tree is uniquely designed with the end result of delicious apples in mind.
This beauty produces three appetizing varieties of apples for your enjoyment on just one single tree.
These delectable apples ripen throughout a lengthy growing season, which lasts from early summer and well into fall.
3-in-1 Apple Tree kicks off by providing a wonderful assortment of blooms.
Depending on the apple variety, the flower you experience will be distinctively different. Luckily, you get to experience a unique assortment of dreamy blossoms all on one tree!
Cultivated by grafting three apple varieties together onto a single trunk, this remarkable tree bursts with color in early spring with an awe-inspiring abundance of pale pink to white fragrant blooms.
The 3-in-1 Apple Tree is durable, grows well in partial to full sun, and adapts well to many soil types. This tree is so low maintenance that you will not have to lift a finger to care for it.
So just sit back, relax and wait to harvest your luscious delicacies all season long.
With 3 varieties of apples all from a single tree, the unique 3-in-1 Apple Tree is a cost-effective use of space. The tree is both stunning in beauty and practical, and does not require another tree for cross pollination.
At maturity, this tree will be about 10-15 feet in height, which means you won't need a tall ladder to reach your harvest. Perfect for tight spaces, this 3-in-1 Apple Tree provides wonderful shade during those long, hot summer days.
This astonishing 3-in-1 Apple Tree has so many unique and wonderful features. Demand is extremely high--so order yours today, before we're completely sold out.
Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your 3-in-1 Apple Tree. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
Next, separate the roots of your 3-in-1 Apple Tree gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the plant is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your 3-in-1 Apple Tree again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each plant to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

"Never dreamed of a birthday like this," he said, squinting through the flash of another camera. "Going color-blind, though."
The next day is milder, and Cole is ready for takeoff. Twenty minutes into the flight, after he's circled his farm, he steers his old plane toward Longmont and then lands at the airport he helped build, as smoothly as a mallard in a lily pond.
"Well," he tells a group of spectators. "Brought it back. Didn't break it up, either."
His niece, Kay Sachs, plants a kiss on his cheek.
"Hey," she says. "Good job."
His nephew, Bryan Kugel, offers his own critique.
"You flew outta here as straight as a beaver on takeoff and didn't wobble a bit," he says. "And then you set it down better than a lot of other guys out here. Tail wind didn't bother you a bit. Haven't lost your touch."
Lynn Ferguson, who kept his birthday promise by sitting next to Cole through the flight, reports that Cole was calm and confident during their short trip. When Warren Rempel flew by them a few times in a vintage World War II plane, performing a congratulatory roll, Cole didn't flinch. "He did great," Ferguson says. "He told me, 'I want my plane back.'"
"Oh," Cole chuckles. "I just might take it back. I feel right at home in this seat. But I'll pay you for the paint job."
When someone suggests a 101st birthday flight, though, Cole laughs it off. For now, this is enough. For now, he is content.
For thirty glorious minutes, he was an Oklahoma farm boy again, soaring above the pasture with the wind and the clouds and going places, just like a bird.

This is NOT a phone. It's referred to as a "media player."
Size-wise, looks like it's between an iPod Touch and an iPad. The only charm it has for me is playing Flash. Looks cool if you want that kind of thing.
Think of this as a 5 inch tablet. It's not a phone...though you could certainly use Skype over WiFi to place calls.
What is this thing? A phone without the phone?
I'm pretty sure it's samsungs single core 1ghz hummingbird processor, but I'm not sure, as I didn't think this would ever be available in the U.S.

I come from an Apple free household and missed out on the TouchPad deals, so this could be a 'somewhere in the middle' thing for me.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S that I got from T-Mobile. It has all the features but no flash and it is a phone. How come this is different than Woot's current offering?

CyanogenMod does not currently have an official release for this model. Do not attempt to install the Galaxy S phone ROM on it, you may end up with a brick.
This is NOT a phone people.. It is basically a Samsung Galaxy S with the phone portion removed, and only WiFi is available. No GSM / 3G / CDMA connectivity.

British business supplies distributor Bunzl reported a 1pc fall in revenue in the first half of its financial year, hit by the strength of sterling.
The company said in June it expected to see a 6 percent rise in revenue at constant exchange rates, but the strength of the pound wiped out the growth in underlying demand.
Bunzl said today first-half revenue climbed 7 percent at constant exchange rates, helped by the impact of recent acquisitions in Brazil, Germany and the Netherlands.
The company also posted a 5 percent rise in pretax profits to 176.6 million pounds for the six months ended June 30, up from 167.6 million a year earlier.
Bunzl said it had acquired four new businesses in the past two months, with annualised revenue of 34.8 million pounds, bringing its total acquisition spending this year to 119 million.
The company, which supplies supermarkets, hospitals and hotels with products ranging from carrier bags to toilet rolls, has been on a steady acquisition drive, spending 1.7 billion pounds on 80 deals over the past ten years.
Last year, Bunzl spent 295 million pounds on 11 acquisitions, the highest amount spent in a single year since 2004, in countries including Brazil, Australia and Canada.
Analysts have estimated that Bunzl, which generates 83 percent of group revenue outside the UK and Ireland, could afford to spend about 300 million pounds a year on acquisitions for the next four years. (Reuters)

A Georgia man charged in connection to an elaborate check-cashing scheme that victimized Billings banks and businesses in January pleaded guilty Tuesday to five counts of forgery.
Appearing before District Judge Russell C. Fagg, Fernando Allison admitted he solicited people to cash forged checks at several Billings banks in January.
Fagg scheduled Allison's sentencing for Oct. 27.
According to prosecutors, Allison and five other men with ties to an Atlanta gang came to Billings and recruited transients as part of check-cashing sprees committed in October, November and January.
The Georgia men would steal payroll checks from the mailboxes of local businesses and use the checks in combination with the transients' personal information to forge checks, according to an affidavit. The Georgia men would then pay the transients to cash the checks at area banks.
The Yellowstone County Attorney's Office has charged five other men from Georgia and a number of other men identified as transients in connection to the check-cashing sprees.
The total value of the forged checks was about $117,500, according to court records.

Burkburnett hits beverage bottleneck
Businesses in Burkburnett that want to sell liquor have started expressing interest in those sales now that voters have approved package sales and sales by the drink in restaurants - but they still have a wait ahead of them.
"We're kind of the roadblock at this point," Burkburnett City Manager Mike Slye said. Although several businesses have started the application process for permits with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, the city - which has to sign off on the applications - isn't quite ready.
A workshop Monday with City Council members and Slye aimed to get things flowing in that direction. They talked about what the Council would like to see, including distance regulations addressing how many feet must separate liquor sales from places such as churches or schools.
Such a measure would have to come in the form of an ordinance.
Part of the application process is making sure an applicant conforms to local ordinances and regulations, Slye said, but because Burkburnett was dry to this point, it hasn't had ordinances in place regulating liquor sales.
Voters in Wichita County Justice of the Peace Precinct 2 passed two items on Nov. 6. One allows restaurants to sell alcoholic beverages by the drink and the other permits package sales by stores for off-premise consumption. The JP precinct stretches from the northern tip of Wichita Falls up the I-44 Corridor to Oklahoma, and it covers all of Burkburnett. It became a polarizing issue in Burkburnett, where supporters advocated for keeping sales taxes at home, and people who opposed the measures talked about the troubles they believe alcohol sales would bring.
As the election approached, Burkburnett city leaders waited to see how things would turn out, and didn't forge ahead with plans for liquor sales in town, not wanting to "presuppose" what the voters would decide, Slye said.
Since the vote, Burkburnett leaders have met several times with TABC representatives to learn more about the process on a local level.
The City Council members are very "cognizant" of the issues, Slye said. According to the TABC, if an area plans to include distance regulations, the minimum distance is 300 feet, and that is the guidance he has received from Council members, he said. He pointed out that something like that would likely apply to businesses that build or move into already existing buildings. The ordinance will probably include language that allows for variances that would allow for sales by already existing businesses - such as United Supermarket and convenience stores - that might find themselves within the specified distance.
"They don't want existing businesses to be penalized because of where they're located," Slye said.
In addition to having the city's signature on the applications, businesses need to have the necessary signatures from county offices.
He hopes the city will be ready for its part by mid-December. He expects the City Council meeting during the third week of December to address the issue.

The water-way they are launching into can't support a Stern-First launch or they don't have the Stern-First system in place at that Dry-Dock. This method right here is a very common method for ships that traverse waterways/lakes, Most of your deep sea ships now day's are floated out.

Most water-ways have spots for ships to turn around in, Or they'll just back out--If you're ever in the Cleveland area in the summer-time you'll see 600 footer ships go up the cuyahoga river--There's no spot to turn around unless they take it to the end, SO they just back it all the way out.

Hello All- I have two house plants, i've had more in the past and just can't seem to keep them alive. I'm worried I've killed them for good, but I've got them both now in front of the warm window, with about 4-6 hours of good sun, misting nightly just the leaves and watering when the soil isn't moist. |

Bad news first: If it seems totally crispy, I would be concerned that your Norfolk Island Pine may have died. Are any of the branches moist and flexible, or do the branches all seem dry and easily broken? It might help if you post a photo of it. Good news: Your pothos doesn't look to me like it is dying. I think it was just sunburned because its leaves were not adapted to such intense light when you put it outside. Sunburn is ugly to us but it doesn't really hurt the plant. The soil it is in looks a bit heavy and moist, so you want to be careful not to overwater it. The risk is that it might develop root rot if it is in a heavy soil that stays soggy too long. I personally do not put my houseplants outside because there is a risk that insect pests may find the plant outside. However, I'm not sure that is such a big deal when you only have a couple of plants, since it is easier to get rid of pest problems on plants when you only have one or two than if you have a lot like I do. If you do decide to summer your plant outside, many indoor plants will do better if you start them off in a shady place outside, because even a shady spot outside is brighter than the level of light they received indoors. Once they are used to being in the shade you can move them somewhere sunny. The brown parts (the burned parts) will not turn green again, but over time it will grow more leaves to replace the brown ones. One nice thing about pothos is that it is extremely easy to propagate. You can clip off one of the longer vines on it (make sure you get a piece that has at least one brown nubbin on the stem - the brown nubbins are where roots forms). Put the vine in a glass of water, and put it in front of the window. Eventually the vine will grow some roots. I would recommend taking some cuttings so that, no matter what happens to the original plant, you'll still have some of it. Pothos cuttings can actually live in plain water for a pretty long time, so you don't have to be in a rush to pot them. |

Well said, I'd say all the same things except I do put plants outside for summer. Definitely a Pothos (Epipremnum) in the pic. I also managed to let some of my plants get sunburn even though I supposedly know better. Outside doesn't necessarily mean having the sun shine directly on them. That's not something that most house plants can handle, let alone appreciate. If you have a place outside that's shady except maybe the first or last hours of the day, your Pothos should love that. I can't keep a NIP alive either, but wish you luck!! If you would like to add your sunburned Pothos pic to the sunburn thread I linked above, that would be much appreciated, and helpful to others! |
