Hi Obs - how are you these days? Good to hear that Rasta's playmate has settled in so well.
As far as choosing a breed of dog goes, I reckon there are so many "fashions" these days that it's a pity people don't think first before they buy - e.g. if you don't have the sort of lifestyle that suits what was bred to be a working dog, you're probably asking for trouble if you can't give the dog the amount of exercise/work/entertainment it needs. Ongoing maintenance is something people don't often think about much as well - I dread to think what it costs to have a dog's coat professionally trimmed, for example. Have just paid over £70 this morning for booster jabs for The Accomplice - and, being a whippet, care of his coat etc is minimal! The late Charleyfarley's successor (whippet - of course!) is doing fine - he's a bit whiney sometimes, and I can't always "read" him the way I've been able to with all my previous whippets. He's quite like HCF in terms of wanting to be outdoors a lot, and not nearly so much of a couch potato as T.A. is. Just goes to show that even dogs of the same breed can be quite different in terms of character.
I don't think you'd have any particular problems with planting wisteria on a south-facing wall - after all, we don't get much in the way of strong southerly winds in the UK - mostly north-westerly here, and I'm not far from NW Wales. I think problems usually arise with those plants which have foliage all year round, & a south-facing wall might mean that any plant there would get damaged by winter sunlight on frosty leaves, which wouldn't be the case with wisteria - or roses, come to that!
I think it's more likely to be a mole or a vole than a rat or mouse. I don't think rats or mice would tunnel underground quite like that. Mole tunnels are surprisingly narrow and the mole can squeeze through narrower gaps in paving etc than you might think. In any case, I don't think a chocolate-baited mousetrap would do! Moles are solitary creatures - they only get together to mate, apparently - so you've probably only got the one - if indeed it is a mole.
I'm not sure how to get rid of voles, but one way to deter moles is to annoy them by creating something which would conduct noise and/or vibrations down into the tunnel. They like peace & quiet! I'd suggest this cheap way of trying to disturb the mole: cut the bottom off a plastic bottle and push the bottle upside down a few inches into the top of the disturbed ground. The wind noise transmitted through the plastic often does the trick. You could even tie some old CDs or something to a short stick and see if that would work. Another way is to get a child's plastic windmill & push the stick down into the hole. None of these things cost much - if anything - and you've nothing to lose by trying!
'cos that's what they all do! seriously, though, the flowers (the whole stem is called a raceme, I think) don't seem to last all that long. This year my wisterias weren't doing their best - due I suppose to the amount of rain we had when the flowers first began to open. Those at the top of the racemes were well past their best & starting to die off before the whole had flowered. What's usually left after flowering is a rather tough central "stem" which stays put even over the winter months, giving the plant a bit of a whiskery look sometimes. I just snip them off - takes hours as the wisterias cover most of the front of my house! If any of them set seed, the pod looks a bit like a tough hairy runner bean pod and this will stay on the vine for months if you let it. I don't think may people attempt to grow wisterias from seed - I believe they're mostly propagated using cuttings. In any case, they take years to grow & be mature enough to flower, so if you're considering buying another one any time I'd suggest you get one which is in flower at the time of purchase.
I think it's a god idea to put some chicken wire beneath the bin to stop any rats getting in if you put it directly on to the soil. My black bins are in fact on paving slabs which have a bit less than a half-inch gap between them. No rats - but the worms can get in there.
I reckon there are a couple of other things worth adding to Geoff's comments - 1) you can put a horizontal board at ground level first & this can then be replaced if & when any rot sets in - cheaper & simpler than replacing the whole close-board bit..... and 2) I'd suggest is that you consider whether you want the horizontal supports to be visible on your side of the plot - it's usually the "best" side which the neighbours see!
As previous posters have already pointed out, you need to know whose fence it actually is! Garden boundaries are usually indicated on house plans/deeds etc. If you look at a site plan there may be T-shaped markers shown on it. A bit like this: __________T___________. The owner of the land on which the T shape "sits" (i.e. here it's above the line shown) is responsible for/owns the boundary. It's unlikely that the owner of a garden is responsible for all the boundary fencing, especially if the property is one with neighbouring gardens e.g. a house in a row of similar properties. It's likely, in that case, that one side and perhaps the rear boundary fence is the responsibility of the owner of the garden - less likely that the garden owner is responsible for all boundaries.
Hello BW - yes - I did realise that! but it looked as though some posters were under the impression that parent birds would be feeding their young with the contents of garden bird-feeders! It's always amazed me that swallows, for example, must have to feed a brood of chicks with literally hundreds of thousands of insects in order to get enough "liquid" into their bodies.
I don't think Wintersong need worry too much about young birds needing to learn to fend for themselves -
Cheers! Ma - AKA Hypercharleyfarley - the nickname of one of my (now deceased) much-loved whippets.
Not sure whether moulting is the sole reason for the birds' absence. I think it's more a case of their having to find different sources of food for their offspring - i.e. things which have some moisture content, as opposed to the dried foodstuffs which most of us put out for the birds during the winter months. I've watched bluetits foraging al day long for tiny green caterpillars in nearby oaktrees - and when I thought about it, I came to the conclusion that it's probably the moisture content of the caterpillars which might be really important for newly hatched chicks. That got me thinking about when birds actually drink for the first time in their life. I've no idea! Does anyone else know?
I reckon that the idea of timber decking was more or less force-fed to us a few years back via one of those TV "make-over" programmes. Having seen quite a number of gardens where this has been installed, I've come to the conclusion that - on the whole - it's not a good thing to have.
It might work better in countries where the weather's better/drier, but here in the NW it can get so slippery in wintertime/wet weather as to be positively dangerous! If it's not installed properly (i.e. with gaps to allow for expansion) it tends to move a bit, and if you do have the necessary gaps, these allow for all sorts of stuff to fall through them - "lost" jewellery was one example I heard about. I'm sure it needs far more maintenance than you'd think - and I wonder whether it'd last long anyway. It does provide shelter for some of the unwanted garden visitors too - and although here in the UK we'd not get a possum living underneath (as was the case in my D's garden - she lives in the USA) I bet the rats love it. So - not for me, under any circumstances!

Lcs Team
LCS Team Confirms Seaframe Design
The Lockheed Martin-led Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) team has confirmed its semi-planing seaframe design performance in preparation for the program's final design contract. The team, consisting of ship builders Bollinger Shipyards and Marinette Marine, naval architect Gibbs & Cox, and prime Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT), has developed a fast, maneuverable and highly capable seaframe. "We are very confident in the performance of our offering," said Fred Moosally, president of Lockheed Martin's Maritime Systems & Sensors. "Through a paradigm-changing development process, we are poised to deliver LCS on time and on budget." Carol Hulgus, vice president of programs for Lockheed Martin's MS2, further confirmed the team's confidence that it is positioned to meet the Navy's LCS needs. "Through extensive testing and analysis, the Lockheed Martin team has confirmed that it has a very credible, high performance, and deliverable LCS design. The high speed, efficient and highly reconfigurable seaframe, combined with shipyards that deliver on cost and on schedule, give us high confidence we can meet the Navy's significant expectations for the program." The U.S. Navy awarded the Lockheed Martin-led Littoral Combat Ship team a $10 million contract last July for preliminary design of this important naval combatant. Proposal submissions for LCS final design are due later this month, with a final design selection by the Navy in May, 2004.

We're back after a week off and deciding which rookie has been the most impressive this season. Is Yasiel Puig the no-doubt answer, or have one of the young pitchers been even more impressive?
- Nine fantasy baseball questions from the Cafe forums are answered, from the following users:
- medium_robin – Martin Prado or Nick Franklin
- LoganLiCool – Trading for Bryce Harper
- SeanyFever – Drop Brett Anderson?
- RasmusFlow – Potential overpay for Billy Butler
- CubsFan4Life23 – Jay Bruce or Wil Myers/Chris Perez
- bigtymer29 – Yoenis Cespedes or Craig Kimbrel
- redskincow – Ranking four FA-type pitchers
- HIMYMlegend – Sell Elvis Andrus and Brett Lawrie?
- DLRBusiness – Better keeper: Shelby Miller or Madison Bumgarner
- We quiz each other on waiver claims on their respective radars, one from the AL and one from the NL. One has been riding a monstrous BABIP, the other was just traded to a much better playing-time situation. Can you name the claims?
- We discuss the value of Martin Perez, the mask of Zolio Almonte, Jurickson Profar as a left fielder, Tony Cingrani as a bullpen arm and Gerrit Cole's ridiculous heat.
- Those inclined to stream have at least one option every day in Your 7-Day Forecast, including Rick Porcello, Miguel Gonzalez and a lot of Padres.
- Aaron Hill's returning from a fractured hand, but is he a starting fantasy 2B? Matt Kemp is on rehab assignment, Carl Crawford is not; do their recoveries affect Yasiel Puig at all? Jeanmar Gomez is returning this week to impressive ratios, but is he worth owning in fantasy leagues? Pablo Sandoval's coming back from a foot injury, but is there any cause for concern?
- Closer situations in Boston, Detroit, Seattle, Arizona and Milwaukee are on tap in the Bottom of the 9th.
- A strong push by the Blue Jays has all five AL East teams above .500. Who makes the playoffs?

A world of fascinating civilisations, colourful adventures and captivating wonders, the Latin American countries combine to create a rich tapestry of incredible experiences for the traveller. A journey to this region will take you to superlatives you never knew existed, taking in marvellous variety and unique indigenous cultures as you go. Extremes of altitude, temperature and topography are not hard to find, and it is true that travellers of any type or inclination can find a setting to impress in Latin America, be it mountain, beach, jungle, wetland, waterfall, desert, city or island; it is a place of heady diversity where lost, ancient and new worlds collide.
Hardly surprising for such a huge destination, there are countless wildlife experiences to enjoy. Perhaps the most famous of these is the huge tract of Amazon rainforest – the largest in the world - that covers multiple countries including Brazil, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. This immensely rich habitat is home to monkeys, sloths, macaws, anaconda, giant otters, piranha and more. The enchanted Galapagos Islands in Ecuador are equally infamous for their own unique ecosystems where endemic species like the Galapagos tortoise and red-footed boobies thrive and can be viewed at unparalleled close range. Elsewhere, there are plenty of thrilling encounters from Andean condors in Peru to Jaguars in the Pantanal, right-back whales in Argentina and colourful toucans in the Costa Rican jungle.
The cultural make-up of the region is equally diverse as the flora and fauna, with a fantastic array of people and some of the most interesting festivals in the world. In Brazil, Portuguese and African influence and carnival spirit create a unique identity and love for life, whilst indigenous communities and their costumes of explosive colour abound in other countries such as Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala and Bolivia. Argentina and Chile have a distinctly European feel, whereas Belize is creole and British colonial-inspired, completely contrasting the Spanish feel of Mexico, which hosts the exhilarating Day of the Dead. Independence is now celebrated annually in the many countries, but the history and culture of yesteryear is still very much evident today.
For those who like a long list of activities on their itinerary, Latin America will not disappoint. Here you can hang-glide over iconic Rio de Janeiro, dive or snorkel in warm Caribbean waters, trek the original Inca Trail to the lost world of Machu Picchu, hike active volcanoes, ski Patagonian terrains, float through the 'Lost World' in Venezuela and explore steamy rainforests and wetlands, all in one exciting adventure. With such an array of diverse countries and endless possibilities to design a prefect luxury holiday or honeymoon, we can use our first-hand experiences to perfect a trip for you that will last a lifetime.

Yazidis thank Pope Francis for his support at Vatican meeting
VATICAN CITY (RNS) Yazidis are a Kurdish-speaking people who follow an ancient religion blending elements of Zoroastrianism, Islam, Christianity and local folk beliefs.
VATICAN CITY (RNS) Yazidis are a Kurdish-speaking people who follow an ancient religion blending elements of Zoroastrianism, Islam, Christianity and local folk beliefs.
In his annual "Urbi et Orbi" address to the city and the world, his text features the prayers for peace and health in lands torn by strife and by Ebola .
(RNS) The letter stands in contrast to a petition launched by conservative Catholic, evangelical and Jewish activists who demanded that President Obama sharply escalate military action against Islamic extremists.
(RNS) James Foley's murder by terrorists of the Islamic State has prompted many Christians, especially Foley's fellow Catholics, to argue that he should be considered a martyr, maybe even a saint.
(RNS) A coalition of religious leaders, led by mostly conservative Catholic, evangelical and Jewish activists, is calling on President Obama to sharply escalate military action against Islamic extremists in Iraq.
(RNS) The disinterest in the suffering of Iraqi Christians has been a bipartisan travesty.
VATICAN CITY (RNS) Even as Francis called on the international community to find "an efficient political solution that can stop these crimes" the Vatican also tried to make peace with the idea that U.S. military strikes were necessary and working.
VATICAN CITY (RNS) The envoy is expected to deliver a personal message of solidarity and support from the pope as well as financial aid to those affected by the wave of violence.
(RNS) Thousands of Yazidis, followers of an ancient religion, have been killed or captured or fled to a remote mountain without food, water or shelter.
BAGHDAD — The Islamic State "behaved very nice at the beginning of the takeover of Mosul, but they start to uncover their ugly faces. They blew up three prophets' graves, which opened my eyes," said shopkeeper Omer Othman

When wounded robber Rocks Dawson demands to be treated by pharmacist Joe McCabe, Joe arrests the robber and becomes a hero. Joe is the younger brother of nightclub singer Tommy McCabe, whose act includes a parody of a police officer. Tommy's cavalier attitude toward the police department raises the ire of audience member Jerry Sullivan, who invites Tommy to her house for dinner. When Tommy calls on Jerry, he is embarrassed to learn that her father and cousins are all police officers, but wins the family over with his rendition of "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling." Falling in love with Jerry, Tommy foresakes performing to join the police academy, where he is assigned to instructor Sergeant Bill Morrissey, his rival for Jerry's affections. Tommy's insubordination irritates Bill, and consequently, after graduation, Tommy is assigned to the police glee club. When Bill opposes Tommy's request for a transfer, Tommy socks Bill and is suspended from the force. Meanwhile, Jerry has fallen in love with Tommy, who visits Joe at the pharmacy to tell him the good news. While the brothers are talking, members of Rock Dawson's gang break in and kill Joe to avenge Rock's arrest. The gang has been conducting a murderous rampage, and the police are hot on their trail. Out of compassion, Jerry's father allows Tommy to accompany him to the factory district where his brother's killers are trapped. As Bill enters the compound, he is taken hostage by the gang. Tommy convinces Lieutenant Sullivan to give him five minutes to capture the killers, and climbs into the building, saves Bill and brings the killers to justice. For his bravery, Tommy is reinstated in the police force, thus rewarding Jerry's faith in him.

Alex Rüdinger
This guy is the drummer from The Faceless, Haarp Machine, among others. He's ambidextrous, and the most amazing drummer I've seen in a while.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7wwUEDAruA |
Re: Alex Rüdinger
This guy is soooo killer. My band opened up for The Faceless last summer, and I got to shoot the shit with Alex for a bit. Really nice guy, super down to earth. It was a learning experience to be able to watch him play from the side of the stage.
Re: Alex Rüdinger
The speed and power he has around the kit is pretty amazing. He reminds me of Travis Orbin for obvious reasons.
Re: Alex Rüdinger
I heard he was Travis' student for a while. Definitely one of my favourite drummers (and the only one in my favourite drummers list who's younger than me!)
Re: Alex Rüdinger
He was definitely Travis's student for a while. I love both of these guys, and also had the opportunity to see The Faceless last year opening for BTBAM. The way he plays is so invigorating to me, and he always keeps a good head about it. Plus, his video color-grading skills are much better than Travis's (though I tend to prefer Travis's composition and style).
Absolutely in my top 5 favorites. |

Welcome to Lahaina's only beach front property where restaurants, shops, nightlife and
tennis are just steps away. And a block by beach or sidewalk are deep sea fishing,
scuba, diving, surfing, galleries, more shops and restaurants of various cusines and
prices. Enjoy the sights and sounds of historic Lahaina Town. Do it all or do nothing at
all. Just relax on the grounds or at the pool or hot tub. Hang out on the beach, swim and
snorkel. The water in front of Lahaina Shores is calm and protected by a reef, just
perfect for water floats and inner tubes. No shark worries, either. There are fabulous
views of the islands of Lanai, Kawhoolawe, and Molokai. During whale season you can
see whales, too.
The friendly staff will do everything to make sure your stay is perfect, even arrange your
activities if you choose.
This is a wonderful alternative to the fast paced expensive resorts.
Hi, Carol!
Did I ever tell you what a fantastic time that Joe and I had in Lahaina at your place? The condo is a near-perfect place; the only thing better would be ... hmm, I can't think of anything to improve! (You can quote me on that.)
I am bringing my daughter to Lahaina at the end of April. (April 23 to May 2, to be exact.) It's her 15th birthday. (Aw.) I'd love to stay in your condo again; it's my first choice. It looks like, from the calendar, that those dates are available.
Just let me know! And thanks.

I'm back, and this time I actually put some real effort into my ClockDay submission. Yet another clock day upon us! And one a fantastic one it has been this year, thanks to Tom for making everything look great and providing the Clockcrew yet another year.
I respond to all reviews! Please critique.
Enjoy, and Happy ClockDay '07
Rated 5 / 5 stars
you should take that lolipop part and make a loop with it
ITS NOT A LOLLIPOP. Its a magic wand. Sprouting a rainbow. You can see so yourself in this loop I made out of it:
http://www.creatustoons.com/clockcrew /sirtrip02.swf
I don't know why I made the loop. I don't believe anyone told me to take that part and make a loop with it.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
That was awesome
my favorite part was when clock was holding the candy cane and lollypop
Its not a lollipop. Its a magic wand with a rainbow sprouting out of the end. Most lollipops don't sprout rainbows. Actually I take that back. I'm sure that in this day and age they've found a way to make lollipops sprout rainbows. But thats definently not whats going on in my flash. No. Thats a magic wand. And its sprouting a rainbow because it is magic. And non-edible I might as well add. You can eat lollipops, not magic wands. They could get stuck in your lungs and cause some minor brain damage.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Holy crap, that was really good.
Loved the humor, very much my cup of tea.

Please buff Renekton give him a new passive come one! he was the first rage Champ!
Senior Member
Renek needs a passive cdr bonus based on level/rage/hp missing/etc
Sachel Page
13.03.2012 Update I'm pissed as hell. Why you ask? Because we just found out that the new "ad-caster item" is no ad-caster item, it is a bruiser item. Awesome, we wait for I don't know, more than 1 and a half year that Riot finally gives us a decent ad-caster item with the most important stat for every ad-caster, COOLDOWN REDUCTION, and what does Riot, they make another bruiser item with a stupid passive. Ye, I forgot, it's not like we don't have already thousands and dozens of bruiser items, let's just put another one in the fray! Edit: It looks like Morello clarified his mistake. So we get NO ad-caster item this patch, but it seems that one is in the making. Let's hope they speed that a little up and that they don't forget the cdr, otherwise... Oh, and so far we heard nothing of Renekton help, we can only hope the full patch notes include something. Sincerely, a pissed Croc.

What Does N. Korea, 'The Impossible State,' Want?
North Korea is the most secretive country in the world: mysterious and menacing in its pursuit of nuclear weapons. Victor Cha, a former member of the National Security Council, has a new book, The Impossible State: North Korea, Past And Future. Host Scott Simon talks with Cha about this week's events on the Korean Peninsula.
Copyright © 2012 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
North Korea is the most secretive country in the world. Its pursuit of nuclear weapons is a cause of great concern all over the world, and just this week, the country tested two short-range missiles soon after President Obama left the region after attending a nuclear summit. United States has suspended food aid to that regime in response to North Korea's planned long-range missile test later this year.
Victor Cha was director for Asian Affairs at the National Security Council under President Bush. He now teaches at Georgetown's School of Foreign Service and is a senior advisor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He's written a new book about North Korea. It's called "The Impossible State: North Korea, Past and Future." He joins us in our studios this morning.
Thanks very much for being with us, professor.
VICTOR CHA: It's my pleasure.
SIMON: Very good book, by the way.
CHA: Thank you.
SIMON: Glad to read it. North Korea is a country that has starved its own citizens. Does it truly care if food aid is suspended?
CHA: Probably in this instance, it really doesn't. I think in many ways this country has used food as a way to control its population by being the only one that give rations to the society. And so this amount of fund aid is really not a substantial amount for them. And the way the United States wanted to configure it, it was really meant more for the vulnerable populations - children, lactating mothers - not for the general population. So, I guess they don't really feel the pain that much. At least the leadership doesn't.
SIMON: So as leverage, it might be an unsuccessful strategy.
CHA: I think it's clearly proved to be unsuccessful. I think the hope at the time was that it would create an opening to getting back to a broader set of talks on political relations and denuclearization. But it doesn't seem we're headed that path right now.
SIMON: You say in your book that the 45th president of the United States, which would be President Obama or his opponent, will confront a major crisis with North Korea. What kind, and why?
CHA: Well, you know, Scott, I think that there are a confluence of factors that we're seeing in North Korea that we haven't seen before. This includes a new and inexperienced leadership that has taken over after the sudden death of Kim Jong Il, a society that is becoming more increasingly more independent-minded from the government, because it is learning more about markets. It's had to learn more about markets to survive. And then in addition to this, you have a new political leadership that's trying to gain more control. So, the leadership is asking for more control while the society's moving in a different direction. And I think this is eventually going to tear the place apart at some point in the not-too-distant future.
SIMON: What do you hope U.S. leadership and leadership in Japan and other places in the region and around the world understand about North Korea to make a wise set of decisions?
CHA: Well, I think the first thing - and it's a sober lesson - is that after 25 years of U.S. diplomacy, going back to the Reagan administration, trying to get at these nuclear weapons, I think it's pretty clear that we may be able to negotiate a freeze on their nuclear weapons, but we're not going to be able to get them to give up all of their weapons. That's just not in their game plan. So, I think what all of us have to understand is that part of this is a waiting game to see when this regime will eventually collapse of its own weight and that's when you can deal with the nuclear problem. I think more broadly we need to also understand that the human rights problem is a huge problem in North Korea. It has been pretty much neglected, I think, overall in U.S. policy and in the policy of countries around the region and so we need...
SIMON: Because...
CHA: ...more attention.
SIMON: ...we're very anxious to get nuclear weapons.
CHA: Yeah, that's always been our priority, yeah, yeah.
SIMON: I want to ask this very carefully. What does the North Korean leadership want?
CHA: Well, I think they do want relations with the outside world. I mean, they're very secluded so they do want relations with the outside world. But I think they also want to keep their nuclear weapons.
SIMON: Yeah.
CHA: And I think what the United States has always believed is we can give you those relations with the outside world but you have to give up those weapons.
SIMON: And they want to keep the weapons because it's a way of getting a good seat at the table of the world?
CHA: I think it's a way of getting a good seat at the table, it's a way of getting leverage over South Korea, it's a way of establishing their own security, which they believe is very important as a small nation.
SIMON: And their survival as a regime.
CHA: And their survival as a regime, absolutely.
SIMON: Professor Cha, very good to talk to you. Hope to see you again.
CHA: Thanks.
SIMON: Victor Cha, a former member of the National Security Council and now teaches at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. His new book is "The Impossible State: North Korea, Past and Future." Thanks for coming in, professor.
CHA: Thank you.
SIMON: You're listening to WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News.

Like Mae West, the stock market seems to believe that too much of a good thing can be wonderful. Extraordinary central-bank support has delivered us in four short years from the brink of depression to new stock-market highs. Yet there are those who hope our Federal Reserve will keep printing money with crisis-era urgency, preferably indefinitely.
The Fed has vowed to coddle us until unemployment falls below 6.5%, but new, noisy stock-market highs make it harder to justify printing money like it's still 2009. "It wouldn't surprise us to see the Fed change its tone toward the end of this year, or more actively in 2014," says Tim Leach, chief investment officer at U.S. Bank Wealth Management. Other money managers say we're nearing the sixth or seventh inning of central-bank benevolence.
A shift from exceptionally loose monetary policy would rattle the market, but it might not prove all that debilitating. For a start, any change will come at a glacial, well-telegraphed pace. And while the Fed tripled its balance sheet, not all that money gushed through to the real economy—one reason why inflation is just 2%—as banks funneled the money to mend their balance sheets, corporations hoarded cash, and Americans paid off loans and saved more.
Between 1960 and 1999, ratcheting up the supply of money often directly lifted stock prices. In the 1970s, for instance, stocks' annual returns were 70% correlated to the growth in money supply. But that link has recently broken down: year-over-year growth in money supply slowed in 2009 and 2012, but stocks rallied in both of those years. "The stock market may fare much better than most expect, as the Fed begins to normalize monetary policy," says James Paulsen, Wells Capital Management's chief investment strategist. After all, what spooks investors these days isn't inflation or runaway growth but deflation, and a less anxious Fed signals that the deflation threat is receding.
Already, we're on firmer footing. The Standard & Poor's 500 was at 1469 just this January—the same level where it began this century. Yet earnings and dividends have doubled in the 13 years since, slashing the market's valuation from 30 to 14.7 times what companies earned in the preceding 12 months. Household net worth has repaired with firmer real estate and rallying portfolios, and home building, auto sales, and state tax collections all are improving. Unfortunately—or it is fortunately?—gross-domestic-product growth remains wan enough to keep monetary policy loose.
Many investors also remain underinvested in stocks, although margin debt is climbing, and bearish bets have shrunk to a six-year low. Two of the year's three best sectors—both with gains topping 10%—are health care and consumer staples, another sign that stock buyers remain defensive.
Meanwhile, political impasse has deferred—but not destroyed—economic growth. "Despite uncertain fiscal policy, business confidence is off the lows, and investment is accelerating, if new orders are any indication," notes Sean Darby, Jefferies' chief global equity strategist. Most sectors are using more of their capacity than a year ago, notably electrical equipment, autos, and mining. Business lending is increasing, and Darby expects rising capital expenditures to benefit machinery, truck makers, chip equipment, and factory construction.
Alas, a sustained, secular bull market—one robust enough to withstand economic cycles—remains elusive. The 1982-to-2000 bull run, which was interrupted but not stopped by the 1987 crash, began only after deregulation, loosened labor unions, and grim interest-rate hikes had choked off inflation. "Ultimately, it was the shift from short-term fixes to the righting of long-term imbalances that paved the way for a new secular trend," says Jack Ablin, BMO Private Bank's chief investment officer. Yet despite two grievous recessions since 2000, the government continues to attack our fiscal and debt imbalances "with a putty knife and plaster."
Ablin thinks stocks "can keep going until we run out of short-term policy tools," or until the Fed gets nervous that it's perpetuating an equity bubble. But a decades-long, secular bull will only coincide with "a willingness to tackle the politically unpalatable," he says. "Since politics is oriented toward the short term, the difficult choices will likely be forced on lawmakers by the markets." Tough choices rarely occur when we're celebrating new highs, but another leg down is a different matter.
FINDING TOO MUCH OIL and gas under our rocks has been wonderful for the local economy, but it's straining existing infrastructure and transport (see "Climb Aboard the Oil Train"). That's one reason that pressure is mounting on the Obama administration to allow the 1,179-mile, cross-border Keystone XL pipeline that will link Alberta, Canada, to Steele City, Neb., and the rest of the Keystone network.
Daniel Clifton, Strategas Research's policy analyst, thinks there's a better than 50% chance the pipeline will be approved by late summer, despite environmental objections. If so, this leg could begin operation in late 2015. Better access to Canada's oil sands and crude oil extracted in the Bakken shale will benefit producers, as well as Gulf Coast refiners. Clifton also scoured lobbying disclosure reports for companies pushing hardest for this pipeline.

Located in Dover, 2 minute walk to beach.
Credit Card fraud!! Manager made unauthorized transaction and when confronted only repaid portion. Therefore I had no choice but to stay at this place to absorb the loss. Was given different room lower grade. Note pictures on website and Booking sites not true reflection. Safe never worked; door to room only stayed closed if locked.
Wifi was good...but didn't work between 5-7pm. Location was ok.
Cold showers and they have drainage issues, Bitten by Mosquitos. No kitchen cloths or washing up liquid, only one thin towel each, only cleaned 3 times a week, bed has one sheet on it, no other blankets, pillows are like rocks, you can virtually pick up the safe and walk around with it..just to name a few things...
The staff was very helpfu
Mosquitos in the room, due to an open well near by
They close the office and leave a local number to call. Anything you need you have to make an international call.
Loved the location, the staff were friendly and so so nice, the rate was great, would definitely return. Honestly felt like home!
Only fault was that we advised a late check in but no one was there to check us in, there was no mobile on the door to call out of hours. An email was sent to my work address (which I had advised I wouldn't be at) so we were forced to find alternative accommodation at 2am and yet we still had to pay for that night so we felt that was a little unfair. the toilet seat was also broken in our apartment which we reported on several occasion but it was never fixed. other than that - great!
great location easy walk to the beech and shops. Spacious and good AC. Would stay again.
You could only pick up the wifi stronger next to the door.
A lot of things were missing from the room. Iron, good air conditioner, working stove, towels and wash rags.
Tiled floors, basic layout, presentable decor
No hot water, drawn to attention of owner, no response. Despite claim wifi in all rooms, not available in mine. Front door insecure, completely unlockable at one stage. Mosquitoes in room on arrival, cockroaches present
The receptionist Shirley and the Cleaner Carmen - both very nice girls and always happy to help.
The main reception did not have any opening or closing hours - which made it difficult to ask questions or address any concerns! The Owner did not seem that concerned when I advised him that the Electricity went off with a bang, whenever the Microwave was plugged in! The Iron did not work properly, water pouring out all over the place, i could have got an electric shock!!
Great location for price, loved the friendly concierge. Loved the kitchenette
The oven didn't work the ac leaked and it was hard to find a receptionist when you needed one.
quiet, good location, good value for money
internet problems
Quite basic accommodation but ideal for one night. Beds comfortable. Good value for the price. Quite close to the beach which is beautiful. Plenty of bars and restaurants close by.
Nice separate Kitchen
1.) Kitchen is not equipped sufficiently. 2.) Kitchen is provided with absolutely nothing to clean the dishes. Only a few plates and utensils, one over sized pot and a small pan. 3.) Not enough Towels provided. 4.) Infrequent cleaning. 5.) No blankets provided. 6.) Micro TV 7.) Room have broken Lock on sliding door have to leave and lock from back door. 8.) Internet have good WiFi signal but is very the service is intermittent, mostly down. 9. Very bad value for money. Expect a LOT more for $150p/d
No wifi signal Staggered availability of hot water Very poor lighting Dreadful shower room Situated next door to a very load music bar Constant hassle from drug dealers outside apartment.
Room a decent size and clean.
Safe in room was broken. Asked staff twice about fixing it. Nothing happened. No hot water for shower. No one ever around at the main office. On arrival had to find someone to check me in. Asked them to book me a day excursion. They did so, but failed to confirm this. Luckily, I found the tour rep wandering around the complex the following morning.
- Close to Dover beaches. - Owner very honest.
- VERY noisy environment at night : LOUD karaoke in the two next door bars from 11p.m. - 01 a.m. from Thursday to Sunday ! - Cleaning only three times a week.
Staff were excellent, more than willing to help with any & all problems or requests that I had and had lots of advice and very friendly service. Being a self contained apartment I wasn't sure if I had to do all my dishes etc, but upon realising there was no liquid/sponges I left the dishes in the sink and sure enough they were clean by the time I got home. South Coast Daquiri & Grill (above reception) is great fun & Tim's food is proper Louisianna style grub, highly recommend a visit. Especially on (one of three) karaoke nights!
Barbados is an expensive place to stay, so for the price the apartment was quite modest but still nice & clean.

General Comments
This Siemens SL42 mobile phone is great for forgetful people and people on the go.
This phone has a stunning address book, great for business people, it has place for home addresses, e-mail addresses, home addresses etc. Every tiny little detail you can possibly imagine.
The reception is stunning, it really feels like you're talking to the person face to face.
The phone itself is beautiful, neat, and professional looking.
The features are endless, if I had to carry on with praise, we'd be here all day.
