Okay, so maybe I've been living in the woods too long, where you can't even get a decent cup of klava first thing in the morning. So who should turn up but Lady Teldra, the courtly servant of my old friend the Dragonlord Morrolan?
Teldra wants my help, because Morrolan and Aliera have disappeared, and according to Sethra Lavode, it looks like they may be in the hands of the Jenoine. Do I want to mess with them? The guys who made this place? And I thought I had problems before...
Oh well, what's a little cosmic battle with beings who control time and space? It's better than hunkering down in the woods without even so much as a drinkable cup of klava.

"Missing section!"
Definitely, but not this recording, because of the missing passage.
The voices are terrific.
There is a chunk missing in this recording, an important passage in chapter 9.
"Another great listen"
It's a culmination of 3 books worth of stories spanning 5 books. Finishing the most modern timeline in stellar fashion, the performance as always was superb
"Loved It, on to Dzur!!"
I'm a little bias as this series is my favourite, but of the Vlad Taltos, series this is one of 3 favourite books. The character development is amazing. I love the dialogue. This audio reading was a little lacklustre compared to others in this series by the same group, but it certainly isn't bad. This story is pivotal to the series and Brust never hesitates to be more than entertaining. My Toronto commute is so much more bearable.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Honda K series engine is a four-cylinder four-stroke engine introduced in 2001. The K series engines are equipped with DOHC valvetrains and use roller rockers to reduce friction. The engines use a coil-on-plug, distributorless ignition system with a coil for each spark plug. This system forgoes the use of a conventional distributor-based ignition timing system in favor of a computer-controlled system that allows the ECU to control ignition timings based on various sensor inputs. The cylinders have cast iron sleeves similar to the B-series & F-series engines, as opposed to the FRM cylinders found in the H-series and newer F series engines found only in the Honda S2000.
Similar to B series, K-Series has two short blocks with the same design; the only difference between them being the deck height. K20 uses the short block with a deck height of 212mm where K23 and K24 block has a deck height of 231.5mm.[1]
Two versions of the Honda i-VTEC system can be found on a K series engine, and both versions can come with variable timing control (VTC) on the intake cam. The VTEC system on engines like the K20A3 only operate on the intake cam; at low rpm only one intake valve is fully opened, the other opening just slightly to create a swirl effect in the combustion chamber for improved fuel atomization. At high rpm, both intake valves open fully to improve engine breathing. In engines such as the K20A2 found in the Acura RSX Type-S, the VTEC system operates on both the intake and exhaust valves, allowing both to benefit from multiple cam profiles.
Power: 158 hp (116 KW) @ 6500 rpm
Torque: 140 lb·ft (190 N·m) @ 4000 rpm
This inline-4-cylinder internal combustion engine is found in the US market Honda Civic Si (2006-2011) and Canadian market Acura CSX Type-S. It has an aluminum block with an aluminum head, and a bore and stroke of 86 mm x 86 mm, resulting in a 1,998 cc (121.9 cu in) displacement.

On a recent trip to Joann, etc. while looking for those elusive plastic spiders, I discovered these great acrylic spike beads by Cousin Corp.
Yes, I was in the bead aisle...did I go for beads, no...
Did I buy beads, yes...
I was in the process of creating a bracelet project in my head using the black lace and orange pony beads, so when I saw those spikes all I could think of was, "I hope those holes are big enough to get the shiny plastic craft lace through!"
I thought the irony was sort of poetic. I was working on a Cousin project and found the perfect bead to finish it and it happened to be a Cousin product. :) Yep, poetic...
This is definitely a craft project that is much easier than it looks to complete. AND, most of all, it is eye catching and perfect for Halloween. It shouldn't take more than an hour to finish once you get going.
Don't worry if you don't make it for Halloween, once you know how to make this bracelet, you can modify it in so many ways using many different kinds of beads. One of my faves is using colorful beading wire with crystals.
You can find instructions on the Cousin website. :)

Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - Josh Beckett was solid on the hill and Jason Bay hit a three-run homer, as the Boston Red Sox swept a rain-soaked, two-game set from New York with a 7-3 victory at Yankee Stadium.
Beckett (3-2) gave up three runs on 10 hits with five strikeouts and tied a season low with just one walk over six-plus innings. It was Beckett's eighth win against the Yankees, which is his most against any club. Hideki Okajima and Takashi Saito pitched the final three innings without giving up a hit.
"I saw some wavering times but I made pitches when I had to and we scored a bunch of runs," said Beckett.
David Ortiz, Jason Varitek, Nick Green and Jeff Bailey all drove in a run for the Red Sox, who have won three of four and taken all five games with their heated rival Yankees so far this season.
Boston centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury left the game in the middle of the fourth with a tight right hamstring and was replaced by Jonathan Van Every.
Johnny Damon accounted for all the offense for New York with a three-run homer. Melky Cabrera extended his hitting streak to nine games with a 3-for-4 performance.
Joba Chamberlain (1-1) suffered the loss after giving up four runs on six hits with two walks in 5 2/3 innings. The young righty did, however, set a career high with 12 strikeouts in the setback.
"This one's on me because I came out and put us in a hole," said Chamberlain. "You just think you gotta keep your team in the game. I'm not doing my team justice if I don't go out there and give it all I got."
The Red Sox solved Chamberlain early to take a 4-0 lead in the first inning. The first five batters all reached base safely, as Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia and Ortiz all singled to open the frame which produced a run.
Bay followed with a two-run shot to left, and Mike Lowell singled. Chamberlain settled down and got J.D. Drew to line out and induced a 1-4-3 inning-ending double play from Bailey to end the threat.
The home team got on the board in the third, as Jose Molina led off with a single and Derek Jeter followed suit before Damon belted a homer to right that made it 4-3.
New York had its chances against Beckett, but the club failed to get any runs across. In the fourth, Cabrera doubled to right with one gone but was thrown out at third tying to stretch it into a triple. Ramiro Pena then doubled but Molina went down swinging to end the inning. Then with one out in the sixth, Nick Swisher walked and Cabrera followed with a ground-rule double. However, Pena went down swinging and Molina grounded out to kill the rally.
Jonathan Albaladejo was on the mound for the Yankees in the eighth and, as Pena botched the grounder, let leadoff batter Bay reach first before he nabbed second. Lowell's grounder moved the runner to third and Drew was intentionally walked. Bailey was hit by a pitch to load the bases and Varitek offered a sacrifice fly to center. Green then slapped an RBI single to right which made it 6-3 and Edwar Ramirez was mercifully called in from the bullpen, he got out of the jam without further damage.
Mark Melancon came in to pitch for the home team in the ninth and walked Pedroia, Ortiz and Bay to start the frame. He put himself in a 2-0 hole against Lowell before getting lifted for David Robertson, who got Lowell to go down looking and Drew to pop up. Robertson, though, walked Bailey to force in a run. Varitek grounded out to end the inning, but not before the Sox made it 7-3.
Saito came in and retired the side in order in the ninth to seal the win.

Stylish Japanese Sports Car Aims to be Affordable
ITS name is German, its heritage British, and it's designed for the United States market. But the RX-5 Miata is the newest Japanese sports car. With a name that translates into ``pride,'' the 2-seat Mazda Motors Miata evokes the heritage of such British sports car legends as the Triumph Spitfire and TR-3 and the MGB. A ``simple'' car offering just one 4-cylinder engine and a single body style - a convertible - it is, at ``under $14,000,'' aimed at young, first-time sports-car buyers.
These customers, ``who really wanted a sports car, couldn't find one he or she can afford,'' says Mazda Group vice-president George McCabe. Mazda's own RX-7 is a good example. Originally introduced a decade ago at well below $10,000, the typically equipped RX-7 now costs more than twice as much.
The Miata is one of three new Japanese sports cars introduced at the Chicago Auto Show this month. According to auto analyst William Pochiluk of Autofacts Inc., the new Mazda ``should be a big hit, and the main reason is [its] price.''
There are several negatives, however. High insurance rates on this class of car could price the Miata out of the reach of many young buyers, despite the relatively modest price tag. And for those who plan on hauling a lot of cargo, the Miata isn't the most roomy car. The emphasis here is on style and performance.
That is more than enough, Mazda officials believe, and they expect to sell about 40,000 Miatas a year.
At the other end of the spectrum in terms of both price and sales goals is the new NSX, the code name for a 2-seater that the Acura luxury division of Honda will put on the market late next year.

By a Current Student on
I am currently attending JDHS and my average class size is between 30-40students per teacher. The student body is very welcoming, and the school has a great small-town feel. We no longer have issues with oxycodone, but aproximetly 70% of my classmates have or do smoke marajana. The average score on the high school exit exam is equivalent to what would be expected of an average 8th grader. Of the students who graduate, 11% of them go on to graduate from a collage.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Doughboy is an informal term for an American soldier, especially members of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) in World War I. The term dates back to the Mexican–American War of 1846–48.
The term was used sparingly during World War II, gradually replaced by "G.I.". It was still used in popular songs of the day, as in the 1942 song "Johnny Doughboy found a Rose in Ireland."[1] It dropped out of popular use soon after World War II.[2]
Contents |
Look up doughboy in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. |
The origins of the term are unclear. It was in use as early as the 1840s.[3][4]
An often cited explanation is that the term first came about during the Mexican–American War, after observers noticed U.S. infantry forces were constantly covered with chalky dust from marching through the dry terrain of northern Mexico, giving the men the appearance of unbaked dough.[5] Another suggestion also arises from the Mexican–American War, and the dust-covered infantry men resembled the commonly used mud bricks of the area known as adobes.[5] Another suggestion is that doughboys were so named because of their method of cooking field rations of the 1840s and 1850s, usually doughy flour and rice concoctions baked in the ashes of a camp fire, although this does not explain why only infantryman received the appellation.[5]

Student Community Service Awards were created by a partnership of Sen. Tom Libous, WBNG-TV and the Broome-Tioga Board of Cooperative Educational Services to honor high school seniors who give their time and effort to make the community better.
Community Service is proof that one person can make a difference.
Mentor a child. Repair a lonely senior's porch. Clean a riverbank. The benefit is hard to calculate. It may be immediate, or take years to see. But when you volunteer, fulfillment is the best reward.
Do it once and you'll help. Do it often and you'll lead. Do it for a lifetime and you'll change the world.

Published on Mar 7, 2014 4:20 AM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US Army's top prosecutor overseeing sexual assault cases has been suspended over allegations he groped a female lawyer working for him and tried to kiss her, officers said Thursday.
The suspension marks the latest embarrassing setback for the US military as it grapples with a sexual assault crisis that has sparked calls for a radical overhaul of its judicial system.
The allegations were first reported by the Stars and Stripes newspaper and confirmed to AFP by military officers, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The allegations involve Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Morse, who supervises the army's special victim prosecutors that handle sexual assault, domestic abuse and crimes against children cases.

Ready In
Did all of the prep work early in the day, so all that needed to be done this evening was to sauté the onions and garlic, add the salsa mixture, heat and then add the shrimp…my kind d of meal. Used a red jalapeno instead of a red chile pepper (what I had on hand) which gave a lick kick of heat and added more lime juice. Delicious, easy, full of fresh flavor and tender shrimp, thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely will be made again.
Great!!! Entire family loved it! Easy to make, my great 12 year old son make the masterpiece. My 9 year old daughter went back after she was done (she is a picky eater to). We agreed that maybe adding a little more spice to it might make it better. We substituted the red chili puree for a dried red pepper that i dehydrated in my sweet dehydrator. Overall 9/10
This was so good. I made this in a pinch when I had some shrimp, but wasn't sure what to make with it. Very flavorful. Only wish I would have snapped a photo. No leftovers, so I'll have to take one next time!

Thank you very much Customer Care for your professional attention to my complaint. I received the new main brush kit & installed it easily & can't believe the difference. My poor machine must have been very sick. I have renamed it from Heepasheet to Lucky - lucky to get a second chance.
Posted by jeannie on 22nd May 2014
i am 71 going on 72 and had no problems following the easy step video. putting in a new motor and main brush.
Posted by Erica on 3rd May 2014
Easy to do yourself if you watch the tutorial; when I attempted to remove the cover the first time I couldn't find the 2 screws under the main brush.
I did accidently remove some cords from their sockets that I wasn't supposed to; a guide to their respective placement would be helpful.
New motor is so quiet! Very impressed, runs so smoothly. Worth the money to upgrade
Posted by Gail on 29th Mar 2014
So easy to install new brush and motor with the tutorial!
Posted by Rae on 8th Feb 2014
As a fix-it novice I was able to install the brush upgrade with a few watches of the movies. There were no problems and Ruby was off powering around better than ever!
Posted by Cameron on 31st Dec 2013
Great Video instruction. Very Easy to Follow.
Posted by Kathryn on 5th Dec 2013
Easy as to do this change over. Videos were great, no dramas and it works like a charm. I was going to get another vacuum cleaner because I had broken the brush mount but this was a cheap and easy fix. Thank you!

But unlike their public cousins, whose primary purpose is to offer affordable insurance to the 47 million Americans who are uninsured, private exchanges promise to bring the individual tailoring of the Digital Age to the place where the majority of Americans now get their health care – the workplace. For businesses, private exchanges are a way to improve efficiency and contain runaway costs in a competitive environment.
"Whenever you have competition on a retail basis, prices go down," says Ken Sperling, national health exchange strategy leader at Aon Hewitt, and one of the architects of the private health exchange concept. "And an exchange is a very efficient way to bring buyers and sellers together to drive competition."
• • •
The basic idea of the exchange is to create an online mall, or a retail-like experience akin to Expedia or Amazon, and make insurance companies compete head-to-head for a new wave of individual customers. The state exchanges set up by "Obamacare" do the same thing.
But private exchanges could also drive a consumer-driven revolution in health care, bringing the razor-sharp metrics of the Google era to an industry better known for one-size-fits-all employee health plans. Online technology may have revolutionized how Americans shop, bringing with it a brave new era of profiling and individually targeted advertising (as well as the stuff of government surveillance by the National Security Agency). But when it comes to paying for health care, few people, up to now, have given much thought to those incomprehensible itemizations of fees, printed out on multiple pages, each reassuringly stamped, "This is not a bill." Now they will increasingly have to track everything – and make their own choices.

Comments about Booda Dome Covered Cat Litter Box:
Bought one of these online when we moved to a small condo from a large house. We have 2 cats and had 3 open boxes in our basement prior to this. One of our cats loves to sling litter everywhere and it was a daily chore sweeping up scattered litter from the floor. After reading many of the reviews that said the box "leaked" wasn't good at controlling odor, etc.. I decided to try it for myself anyway sas we have no hidden area for the litter boxes and they must be out in the open.. I bought this and one of those "Cat washroom" enclosed stands. I wish now I'd saved the $ and just bought 2 of these. It contains the litter really well. My cats love it (it gives them privacy.. I've not had any problems with urine running over the edge. (do not fill it all the way to the top) and it's roomy enough for them to turn around in. There is still odor if you don't clean the box daily, but not like it was with the open boxes. Much less mess and you don't have to look at the cat "leavings" till you open it to clean it.. It would be nice if they made latches to hold the lid on so you could move it more easily and for travel.. but that is the only drawback I see. I would recommend it.

Comments about Booda Dome Covered Cat Litter Box:
We bought this box for traveling with our kittens. It's smaller than most covered boxes so I thought it would be nice. Not the best use, the lid doesn't attach so it's not possible to lift it by the handle and carry it. The box will still work for at home, but it's not convienent for travel.
Comments about Booda Dome Covered Cat Litter Box:
they claimed to be the best in pricing but I saw it after I bought it here for 1/2 the price.

Hello Well just hit 1000 rds today on my XDm45, it has been flawless for these first 1000 rds so it will be added to my carry list. It sure is accurate. Even when I practice my draw and point shoot drills this thing is great. Well anyway is anyone else going to start to carry one of these? If so let me know what you think, And what I really want to know is what every one is going use for a holster? I have a Blackhawk Serpa levelII, great holster not really the best for concealment alltho it does work. Makes for a really nice grip when drawing.

I'm ready to add to my carry list too with my XD45 tactical. I'll probably use the holster that came with it and go from there. Holsters ain't cheap and since I don't have to carry on the job anymore it's hard to justify(to my wife) the $ for a good leather one. My build and for comfort seems to like a soft leather shoulder rig.
I just picked up an XDm45 today. I could see myself carrying it the colder half of the year, but to be honest I don't have any experience carrying (waiting on ppwk)...so what do I know? I intend to give it a try. I've got an inquiry in to Crossbreed to see if their "SuperTuck" XMDs will fit the new 45 version. If they do, I'm ordering one. They come very highly recommended from a number of the more informed posters on this board.
I've been carring my XD 45 for over a year and a half! and would not trade it except may be for the XDM. Holster wise - Supertuck is great - Though I have made one of my own with some modifications ( mainly due to the size of my frame - not the XD). I also use a ACE IWB ( fits in the pocket of my carpenters jeans) -- I am now making some new verions out of leather - along with my version of a vertical shoulder holster - will let ya know how it turns out. -- there is simply no better gun to carry! I own a 32 smith, 357, 9mm P38, 38colt, and my trusty XD45. ( use a add on mag extender ) gives me 16 rounds +1 in the chamber.
I plan on carrying the XDm45. Checking out the holster options before I do though.
I have about 800rds down the tube and if has worked out very well. Here is a review of my XDm 45:
Good write ups, guys. I'm a diehard 1911 guy, but have been seriously thinking of getting an XD and now I just found out about the XDm. What's the difference??
I bought my XDM 45 about a month ago and I love it! It is very accurate, easy to shoot and just feels great in my hand. I purchased the Crossbreed Supertuck holster (in horsehide) for it and the comfort is great and concealability is good too. What's nice is they give a 10% discount for NRA members. I also own a Sig P229 and an HK P2000sk both in 40 cal and I love them both but I find that the XDM 45 is easier to shoot.

With the awkwardly named A101 HCS5, Jamo has produced a sub/sat speaker system that appears to be head-scratchingly good value. For little more than 200 of your pound coins, you get five identical (and moderately stylish) satellite speakers and one easy to accommodate subwoofer. Just the ticket for home cinema fans on a tight budget.
The A101 HCS5 is available now, priced at £230.
Budget buy
Danish brand Jamo is no stranger to mass-market noise makers. It's been churning out similar, diminutive speakers for years. Value for money has long been a speciality of the brand, although it's not short of credibility at the higher-end of the market too.
The A101 HCS 5 has been designed with the budget AV receiver in mind. We think it would be a good match for AVRs in the £300 price bracket, such as the Pioneer VSX-521 or Yamaha RX-V471.
The curvaceous satellites have a cloth cover and are tastefully finished in gloss black. Engagingly small, and rather light, they can be wall-mounted (they're just 51mm deep) or perched on little metal pedestals (three are supplied in the box). While wall-hanging isn't difficult (they'll hang on a screw), you'll need to channel cabling into the wall to keep things tidy.
As befits a budget speaker, these satellites sport small spring-clip terminals, so at least that means you'll only have bell-wire to deal with.
Accommodating a traditional subwoofer in a small room can be tricky. Jamo's solution is to make it wall-mountable. We've seen a variation on this theme from fellow budget speaker supplier Q Acoustics. You don't have to hang the 101 SUB though; it can simply be sidled up against the wall. The cabinet is 160mm deep.
Should you have the space, it's worth experimenting with the sub positioned away from the wall, as this will lessen room boom. The sub automatically powers up when it receives a signal via a line level input, then returns to sleep when the movie or music is over.
Each satellite features a single 76mm driver. These are a shallow pool when it comes to sonic depth, as they can't deliver anything below 200Hz. Consequently, getting them to blend with the subwoofer is essential. Without help, they have a telephonic shrillness which isn't fun to listen to.

Horizontal drywall w/ dropped ceiling
My parents and I are finishing their basement, (none of us are significantly experienced), and we will soon be drywalling. We intend on installing a dropped ceiling when we get to that point in the project. The distance between the existing sub-floor to the unfinished ceiling joists is roughly 8.5 feet, but because of exposed ducts etc. that will need to be hidden inside the ceiling, we anticipate a finished room height of around 7.5'.
I've gathered that it's recommended to work from the ceiling down when hanging sheets of drywall horizontally along the wall frames, so that the resulting gap will be at the bottom and eventually covered by the molding. My question is, (sorry for the long-winded intro), can I start from the floor up since the 'gap' will be effectively covered by the dropped ceiling? TIA! Advertisement |

Horizontal drywall w/ dropped ceilingQuote:
When installing sheetrock in areas that will have dropped ceilings/acoustic ceilings....standard installation procedure is to start by stacking the sheets off the floor and leaving the gap at the top of the wall, which will be covered by the ceiling panels. FWIW: I prefer never to stack sheets directly on any floor. You are also installing in a basement, thus another reason to avoid direct contact with the concrete. In addition cosider using sheetrock that is resistant to mold. Example: Our preferred method of wall construction in basements is to framethe walls with PT sole plate, KD studs. Install either all foam board insulation, or at least in the lower 12" of the walls. Install 3" wide strips of cement board along the lower areas of all walls, then install paperless drywall (sheetrock) onto either the whole wall, or at least the lower horizontal sheet area. Best of Luck on the project. Advertisement

Another 40 percent said that their community "did not embrace opportunities to help military children."
The anniversary of the 9/11 attacks offers an opportunity for Americans to reach out to military service members, and that is very much appreciated, says Vivian Greentree, the director of research and policy at Blue Star Families. But the message doesn't always get through to those who need it, she adds.
"It's important to be reflective, but it's even more important to take action," she says.
For example, Rebekah Sanderlin, whose Army husband is stationed at Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, N.C., recalls going to a concert in Nashville, Tenn., with her mom last year. The stadiumgoers got on their feet to cheer the troops. "I just started crying, and my mom couldn't understand why. She said, 'They do this all the time.' "
The problem was, Ms. Sanderlin didn't know that. Few troops actually go to events like this, says Sanderlin, who writes the blog "Operation Marriage," about her experience as a military mother and spouse.
"I think there's this idea in the civilian world that 'We're showing all this support – we do this all the time,' " she says. "But places where the big military bases are – like Fayetteville – these are small towns without big events. And most military families cannot afford to go to these big events."
And even for those who can, the daily business of caring for children while one spouse is at war means "anything outside of daily survival" often becomes "too much of a hassle."
She points, too, to another gesture troops appreciate, but which is also a secret pet peeve among soldiers, who quietly joke about it: care packages often hopelessly out of date.

Reader comments are listed below. Comments are currently closed and new comments are no longer being accepted.
The problem with international accounting standard-setting is that they are based in a consensus not in science. So, accounting rules are embebbed with beliefs, creeds and economic values of the mainstream thought.
The financial markets believed in mark-to-market rule as the best rule for assets evaluation.
The competition in capital markts led to an agressive accounting, dragging the rest of the economy to the economic and financial mess were in.
T Paradigm writes: When the mark-to-market rule was first exposed for comment in the US there were dire warnings of the possible effect on bank capital and those credit markets. Lo, it happened just as predicted. The concept of m2m fails to consider that "the market" is a popularity contest within a constrained population. It is more fickled than a coed answering pleas for dates to the dance. There was once a form of disclosure that showed, by asset category, historic cost with a subtext of current market. Even the most retarded investor could readily see the effect of immediate disposal on the bottomline line. The addition of the company's intent for the asset by subcategorization, Hold to Maturity, Available for Sale & Trading made great sense. As long, that is, as the holder was subject to discipline in moving assets among the classes. When the 'adjust capital' method was adopted regultion surpassed common sense. For one, the adjustments of capital are at the whim of a fickled market and more fickled analysts who drive the market. For another the ability to identify the market fluctions becomes increasingly opaque particularly for an investor without significant tracking tools. The FASB's preoccupation with how many debit can dance on the head of a ticking pencil leads to economic messes like replacement cost accounting that killed the US steel industry - among others - and the current disaster in the financial sector. Regulation without consideration of the economic and social consequences is - well wrongheaded would be the polite way to state it.
Well its been blown again. You assure the regulator that the loan you made was long term. Fine but did you tell him that you were finanacing it from short term funds. Oh please convince the regulators that they do not have to be clever. Mark to market and sure some things will go wrong but at least its KISS and unequivocal and hence not subject to arbitrage and fudge. As in most things its looking like we are not learning the lessons from this crisis.
the Basel II actually accepts model valuation for both value and risk, do we need a Basel III?
investors usually wont admit that they've been misled by the market, when things go wrong, they believe they've been either misled by the book that cooked by the crook or misled by the model that developed by the crook, you are either dishonest or you are incompetent.
everybody wants the truth, but nobody knows the truth. the best we can do is to improve disclosure. mark-to-market or mark to model, it's your money and your choice.
In a world of "beggar thy neighbour" accounting the IASB see sense at last - it makes much more sense for insurers with long term liabilities - now they can have their assets that match long term liabilities at long term (ie amortised) prices.
The challenge here is how the impairment approach works - we have to avoid the bizzare situation where everyone was impairing at the same time and then, because once impaired future value decreases were P&L and increases equity, everyone would sell which lead to price falls and a vicious circle.
Lets see how this is implemented in practice....
Paul Marks wrote:- "as long as ordinary investors know that they are using a system that inflates the value of their assets '''''''and how much they are inflated''''''" - aaagh! now there's the rub!
As long as companies are totally honest about the numbers and what system they are using they should be allowed to use what system they like - in short as long as ordinary investors know that they are using a system that inflates the value of their assets and how much they are inflated. Then if the ordinary investors agree with the company they will stay with it.
Of course the above is only compatible with a free market if any company is allowed to go bankrupt, no "too big to fail" or "systemic risk". If that game is played we no longer have a market - we have a politically rigged system. Such as the one that gave nine billion Dollars from AIG to Goldman's (plus all the other subsidies Goldman's gets).
Fudge is tasty as can be.
It can also cause massive indigestion.
"Investors need not trust in God, but they must be able to trust accounts."
Better the devil you know than the God you don't. And let's place our trust in these god-less accounts and let the science of economics steer the Ship of Good Faith onto the next set of rocks.
How about someone climbing aloft to scan the sea beyond the horizon only seen from the bilge-outlets?
Or might that scare the Captain that a God's-eye view could intrude into human affairs, making necessary change – like an unwelcome truth – even more blatantly obvious?
By all accounts, Divine-intervention is the only thing that hasn't been tried, yet.
In essence, the question revolves around whether a trading organisation (a bank for instance) holds an asset as an end consumer or intends to trade it before maturity. Earnings go profit & loss in both, capital to the balance sheet; in the other the market price goes to the balance sheet & profit or loss to the its name sake. What is difficult or unfair about that ? Rübi
@ Johnny
And it will even add to economic stimulus by creating a plethora of jobs in asset valuation. Never mind the crippling costs to smaller companies & institutions if they have to pay thousands of $/€/whatever in advisory costs every year to value their assets.
Not that I dislike the idea of a liquidation set of books in theory (although how does one account for intellectual property values or rarely-traded assets?), but I am unconvinced if it will raise transparency and aghast at the cost.
The idea that there is only one set of books is outdated given the fact our ledgers can support multiple valuations for assets (tax, book, why not realizable value).
Since the issue of compounding the economic cycle is felt in terms of reported earnings, this calls for two sets of books.
One that shows most items at cost with shorter term holdings at market - still following standard conventions for longer term debts/assets and PP&E, buildings, etc. This seems to be where the current proposal is headed.
However, it's wise we have a second that shows the liquidation value (balance sheet only, not to post earnings) of a firm where all assets are marked to market with a frequency dependent on the selling cycle of the asset. That is, if there's a ready market, then use it's quotes quarterly. If it's a building, then get an appraisal annually. This might help prevent boards from approving some of the disastrous takeovers that we've seen destroy thousands of jobs (even before the recent recession).
Investors could watch swings in the liquidation balance sheet as a sign of the outside economic environment's impact on the business value without plunging it's stock price through the earnings discounting cycle.
If bank regulations are modified so that capital adequacy is not at the mercy of market fluctuations, m2m may be workable; but I am still inclined to believe its place is trading accounts. I hope we've outgrown the "wisdom" of the market. The distinction made now may have the happy side effect of discouraging the complex securities that have been full of unexpected surprizes.
The problem with the debate is that each side thinks there can be only one answer. The ideal solution is to require both disclosures. Allow management to report its opinion of value as it wants and does currently. And require a parallel release of fully-mark-to-market valuations, at best bid or at most-conservative estimates. That would provide the street and regulators the upper and lower bounds of value. The stock and bonds markets, as they are necessarily doing already anyway (and as they are best-suited) can will work out in between where the truth is. (Only the most naive CFO thinks the street takes a firm's published valuations seriously.) The disclosure of the lower bound would be most useful during panics, when accurate valuation is more critical and most useful to all parties involved.

Artist Al Calderaro of Gallery A
Al Calderaro is the gallery owner/curator of Gallery A in the blossoming arts section of downtown/oldtown Richmond, Va. Kara Dahl Russell met Al a few weeks ago (traveling with her long-time friend, internationally recognized sculptor, John Antone). They viewed the current show, and had such a multi-layered discussion that she invited Al to come on air to share his unusual view from "both sides of the desk" as a pop-art painter who worked in the heyday of the New York pop-art scene, and now a gallery owner. He shares what he has done, and the new things he has learned about showing, selling, buying and creating art for the current fine-arts market.

Nice all around hat
Fully adjustable hat. Worn it a few times so far - very comfortable.

The perfect hat.
The color is awesome and matches just about everything TB makes. The logo is classic with the TB name is a different font than usual - love it! This has replaced all of my other TB hats and become my go-to favorite.

Excellent quality hat.
Sharp looking, comfortable, very well built hat. Like the Polo's from TB, this is top of the line.

My go to golf cap
Fits well. No funny creases like with some caps.
I may be getting another.

Great hat
Love these hats, I have two of them now and they are the most comfortable hats I have ever owned. Love the plastic inside the bill as it keeps its shape very well. Great fit and light weight.

Relaxing does not stop at the neck, nor does fashion
Gotta keep your head relaxed, and in the game and there is no better hat then my aruba relaxer to do the job. The brim is stiff yet bendable, not to small, not to big. The logo fits, and the stitching second to none as I have washed my hat, almost as much as I wear it, and the embroidery still looks new. The easy to size clip stays put, unless I open it The logo on back let's all those behind me that I'm relaxing in style.

Great Hat, Great Colors
Love these hats. matching colors, especially the orange. The Marlin and relax logo top it off, and the drink recipe inside is a great drink....it is 5 o'clock somewhere.

Always love Tommy hats
I've had many TB hats through the years. They have great style, this style is more of a low profile which I prefer and they are well made and will last many many years.
