This is the best, most practical vessel for oil and/or vinegar on the counter or on the shelf! It is simply glass with a stainless steel and nylon/plastic/silicone stopper. Couldn't be easier to fill, clean and use. It is simple and sleek. There is no guessing when it is time to refill. I keep mine either in the cupboard to the side of the stove or on the counter out of the light so there is not a problem with spoilage with oil. Since it is clear, I wouldn't recommend keeping it in bright light with oil in it.I recommend this product.Was this helpful?

Unity Elementary School off to late start
The school board made the decision Tuesday night after meeting with the school construction team.
In an interview Tuesday, Trumbull-Nelson executive vice president Ronald Bauer said he was confident the school would be ready to open next Tuesday.
Though the school is nearly complete and expected to receive its occupancy permit from the fire marshal's office Thursday, Unity Elementary School principal Chip Baldwin said Wednesday that some parents at the meeting Tuesday night expressed concerns that the school would not be thoroughly cleaned of the construction dirt and dust before Tuesday. The parents also wanted to ensure teachers had time to get into the school and prepare before classes start.
The school's opening will be the end of an eight-year saga for the small school district, Baldwin said. The school district tried for four years to get a bond approved for the project until code violations finally pushed the issue.
In July 2013, the state fire marshal's office placed a stop work order on construction. The old school had already been demolished so Claremont elementary and middle schools accommodated the Unity students and teachers for the 2013-14 school year.

said rod being substantially enclosed by said tube, and having a member adapted to engage said fastener at its distal region; and,
said fastener having a protuberance in engagement with said groove.
7. The applicator of
8. The applicator of
9. The applicator of
10. A method of inserting a fastener into tissue comprising the steps of:
providing a fastener with a piercing end and a blunt end;
engaging the fastener with a means which will cause the fastener to advance when it is rotated,
providing a tube containing at least one fastener which tube is rotatable about the longitudinal axis thereof;
putting the fastener in engaging relationship with the tube;
rotating the tube, whereby the fastener is translated into the tissue in a screw like manner.
11. A fastener to stabilize tissue comprising:
a helical body having at least one coil, said body having a proximal portion and a distal portion;
said distal portion being suitable for piercing tissue;
said proximal end having a loop portion extending from a first point on said coil to a second point on said coil, said proximal end further having a protuberance extending outside an area defined by the perimeter of said helical body.
[0001] The present invention relates to surgical fasteners. In particular, the invention relates to helical fasteners and a means for containing and applying a plurality of them in the course of laparoscopic surgery.
[0002] The time consuming processing of traditional suturing necessitated the development of surgical fasteners. By shortening the time of the suturing process, surgical fasteners reduce blood loss and trauma to the patient. For open surgery, there has been a substantial amount of activity in developing staples and staple applicators to be used to secure tissue elements, e.g., in wound closure. Staples have also found use in attaching prostheses, e.g., the mesh patches used to repair hernias.
[0003] The use of staples has now become widespread, but with the advent of minimally invasive, or laparoscopic, surgery, the amount of room available for fastening devices to operate in has decreased substantially. In addition, in some instances, e.g., laparoscopic hernia repair, the surgeon has access to only one side of the tissue to which the mesh patch is to be secured.
[0004] Furthermore, stapling of a mesh patch in a hernia repair procedure generally requires the exertion of axial force on the staple and the creation of a counter-force (such as that provided by an anvil when a stapler is used in open surgery) can be difficult. Thus, a need arose for a fastening means and applicator system which would not be subject to these difficulties.
[0005] One answer to these problems was provided by the use of helical coil fasteners, such as those described in Gianturco U.S. Pat. No. 5,258,000 and Bolduc U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,582,616; 5,810,882; 5,824,008; the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties, which were developed as an alternative to staple fasteners. Some suture devices have also made use of helically coiled components, such as those disclosed in Yoon U.S. Pat. No. 5,053,047 and Buzerak U.S. Pat. No. 5,356,424, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein in their entireties. Since a helical fastener is driven through the items to be attached, e.g., a mesh patch and underlying tissue, by the rotational driving force of the helical coil, the need for axial pressure is greatly reduced. The Bolduc embodiment of a helical coil fastener device includes a helical coil and an applicator. The helical coil has a distal end adapted to penetrate tissue and a proximal end capable of receiving longitudinal and rotational force from the applicator. The applicator can comprise a stationary hollow tube adapted to contain one or more fasteners. Additionally, there may be a movable rod within and sharing an axis with the hollow tube. The rod may have a groove running longitudinally along its length or be �D� shaped, whereby it is adapted to engage the fastener. The rod may further be adapted to be able to apply longitudinal and rotational force to the fastener. Helical coil fasteners may be applied to tissue accessible from one side and, also, have a large retentive surface area for securing a prosthesis, e.g., a mesh, to the tissue.
[0006] The manner in which the helical coil engages a rotator designed to impart rotational motion to the coil is important for ease of use. The present invention, unlike previous helical coil fastener systems, employs a groove in the rotator which is engaged by a protuberance extending from the helical coil. Such an arrangement has the advantages of simplicity and ease of use. Additionally and separately, the present invention also contemplates providing a helical coil fastener which is provided with means designed to prevent migration of the coil out of its desired location after it has been installed.
[0007] The present invention is directed to an improved fastener and applicator for inserting the fastener into tissue.
[0008] The preferred embodiment of the fastener comprises a short helical coil. At the distal end of the wire or similar material forming the coil is a point or other configuration suitable for passing through mesh and piercing tissue. At the proximal end of the coil is a protuberance extending outside the circumference of the helix, radially or obliquely. The protuberance must be extensive enough to engage a first coil engaging means such as a slot or keyway in or on the interior surface of the distal end of an applicator tube. Preferably, the protuberance does not extend beyond the exterior surface of the applicator tube. The fastener may be made of any material suitable for medical implantation, including but not limited to metal, plastic or absorbent materials. Titanium is a preferred material.
[0009] An alternate embodiment of the fastener provides a loop at the proximal end to prevent the fastener from continued migration through the tissue and/or to prevent disattachment of a mesh or other prosthetic element attached to the tissue by the fastener. The loop interrupts the continuous form of the helix, thereby providing greater resistance to undesired movement.
[0010] When the distal end of the fastener is held against or in proximity to a mesh patch or other entity which is to be attached to tissue into which the fastener is to be placed, and the fastener is turned about its longitudinal axis, it will advance helically and pass through the mesh or other entity and into the tissue thereby attaching such entity to the tissue.
[0011] The preferred embodiment of the applicator comprises a delivery tube that is adapted to contain a plurality of fasteners, but also contemplates a device having a delivery means adapted to hold only one fastener at a time. The applicator tube also functions as a driving means to rotate the fastener contained therein. The applicator tube is slotted or grooved along its longitudinal axis. This slot or groove engages the protuberance on the proximal portion of the fastener, allowing the tube to exert rotational force on the fastener. The length of the tube must be suitable to reach the operative site from outside the patient. The inside diameter of the tube should be large enough to allow translation of the fasteners contained therein while at the same time being small enough to maintain driving contact with the protuberance on the fastener.
[0012] The preferred embodiment further comprises a stationary stabilizer rod. The rod is contained within the tube. The rod is sized to slide within the helical coil of the fasteners. At or near the distal tip of the rod is a coil engaging means which engages the fastener. This means may be a radially outwardly extending pin, a thread form matching the helical coil of the fastener, a plurality of radially outwardly extending pins positioned to match the helical coil of the fastener or any other form that functions to engage the fastener. Once the protuberance on the fastener is in engagement with the slot in the tube and the coil of the fastener is in engagement with the coil engaging means, the tube is rotated, thereby rotating the fasteners, and the fasteners are thus advanced in the manner of a screw. If a multiple fastener device is desired, the fasteners may be stacked successively within a tube of desired length and in such a device the rod and coil engaging means will preferably be lengthened to engage all fasteners such that all are distally advanced together upon rotation of the applicator tube.
[0013] In an alternate embodiment, a loading spring may operate in the annulus between the tube and rod. The loading spring functions to bias the fasteners toward the distal tip of the applicator tube. As a result, upon rotation of the tube, the fasteners are successively urged into engagement with the coil engaging means at or near the distal portion of the rod. The loading spring must be of adequate length and sufficient force to cause all fasteners, in turn, to engage the coil engaging means on the rod. Preferably, the loading spring may rotate with the tube. In an alternate embodiment, the loading spring may be stationary with respect to the tube. Advantageously, a means to provide a non-tangling interface such as a washer is provided at the distal end of the loading spring and is in contact with the most proximal fastener and may also optionally provide a visual indication when all fasteners have been ejected.
[0014] The applicator further comprises a handle at the proximal end of the applicator. A suitable handle must fix the stabilizer rod and must rotate the applicator tube. The handle may, advantageously, rotate a measured amount to eject one fastener at a time. Preferably, the handle further comprises a clutch mechanism which prevents counter-rotation of the tube.
[0015] Although helical coil fasteners are preferred, other shapes which may be used according to the present invention include any suitable circular or cylindrical or conical shape in which generally circular loops are used.
[0016] Other objects and advantages of the present inventions will become apparent from the detailed description of the preferred embodiments which follow.

[0023]FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of the applicator device used to deploy the fastener.
[0024]FIG. 8 shows an alternate embodiment of a rotatable hollow tube having a slot or keyway that runs longitudinally along the distal portion.
[0025]FIG. 9 shows an alternate embodiment of a stationary stabilizer rod with a thread form matching the fastener helix located near the distal tip.
[0026]FIGS. 10a and 10 b show an alternate embodiment of a fastener with a loop near the blunt end.
[0027]FIG. 11 shows an end view of an alternate embodiment of a fastener according to the invention.
[0028] As is shown in the drawings, which are offered for purposes of illustration and not be way of limitation, the invention is embodied by a helical fastener and an applicator therefor. One embodiment of the applicator of the present invention, as seen in FIGS. 1-5, comprises a rotatable hollow tube 10 that drives a fastener 30 into tissue. The tube 10 must be of a length suitable to reach the operative site from outside the patient. The fastener 30 may be further guided by a stationary stabilizer rod 20. It is preferred that the rotatable hollow tube 10 and the stationary stabilizer rod 20 are of such dimensions that the fasteners 30 can be placed between and in contact with both the tube 10 and the rod 20 and also slide without excess friction along the rod 20 and within the tube as shown in FIG. 6.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the invention (See FIG. 1), the rotatable hollow tube 10 has a longitudinal slot 12 along a distal portion 14 thereof. The slot 12 may of any length, but preferably is of a length equal to or greater than the length of the fasteners in tube 10. It is also desirable that slot 12 be evenly divisible by one fastener length.
[0030] In one preferred embodiment of the invention (See FIG. 2), the stationary stabilizer rod 20 has a second coil engaging means such as pin 22 at the distal portion 24 of the rod. The pin 22 may be of any height 28, but is preferably of such a height that the pin 22 is flush with the outer portion of the rotatable hollow tube 10. The pin 22 is shown as having a generally square shape, but may be of any shape capable of engaging a fastener 30.
[0031] As seen in FIGS. 2 and 6, a loading spring 26 may operate at the proximal portion of the rod 20. The loading spring 26 acts to bias the fasteners 30 toward the pin 22. Advantageously, the loading spring 26 may rotate with the tube 10. However, the loading spring 26 may be stationary. The loading spring 26 should be of sufficient length and adequate force to urge all fasteners 30 in turn into engagement with second coil engaging means 22. Preferably, a washer 20 may be located at the distal tip of the loading spring 26. The washer 29 functions to provide a non-tangling interface with the most proximal of the fasteners 30 and, optionally, to provide visual indication when all fasteners 30 have been ejected. Additionally, in place of the washer 29, any other suitable means that may provide a non-tangling interface or visual indication may be used.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment of the invention (See FIGS. 3 and 4), the fastener 30 has a helical shape. The length, pitch, and diameter of the coil may be varied depending upon the application. Additionally, the fastener 30 may be of any suitable circular, cylindrical or conical shape in which generally circular loops are used. Moreover, the fastener 30 has a piercing end 38 that may be of varying form or sharpness, depending on the application. The proximal end 40 of the fastener 30 should have a protuberance 42 extending beyond the diameter 36 of the fastener. The protuberance 42 may extend any length outside the diameter 36 of the fastener 30, but preferably extends a length less than or equal to the thickness of the rotatable hollow tube 10 (See FIGS. 5 and 6).
[0033] As shown in FIG. 7, applicator 80 has a handle 81 and an actuator 82. The applicator is equipped with a tube member such as tube 10 having a slot such as slot 12. In operation, the actuator 82 functions to rotate tube 12 which drives the helically coiled fastener out of the applicator and into the tissue of the patient. The applicator is provided with lever 83. As shown in FIG. 7, the lower end 84 of the lever 83 is a trigger-like member suitable for manual manipulation. The other, or upper, end 85 of lever 83 engages driver 86. Lead screw 87 which has a helical thread thereon is rotatably mounted in the applicator and engages driver 62. The longitudinal axis of tube 10 is coaxial with the longitudinal axis of screw 87.
[0034] When the trigger end 84 of the lever 83 is squeezed, the driver is moved along screw 87 causing it to rotate. This, in turn causes, tube 12 to rotate thereby causing the helical coil fasteners in tube 12 to move distally through the tube. Preferably, the length of travel of the coil fasteners resulting from one squeeze of the trigger will be just enough to force one coil fastener out of tube 12 and will then leave the next fastener at the distal end of tube 12 ready to be discharged on the next trigger squeeze.
[0035] When trigger portion 84 is squeezed, lever 83 pivots on its center of rotation 88. Lever 83 can be provided with a spring loaded pawl 89 adapted to engage teeth 90 such that one full pull of the trigger is required before the trigger can be returned to its undepressed position. This assures that each pull of the trigger will fully discharge one fastener.
[0036] In one alternate embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 8, the rotatable hollow tube 10 has a longitudinal groove or keyway 50 along the inner surface of tube 10 instead of a slot in the tube. The groove 50 acts to engage the protuberance 42 of the fastener 30, thereby applying rotational force to the fastener 30.
[0037] In another alternate embodiment of the invention, as seen in FIG. 9, the stationary stabilizer rod 20 has a thread form 60 that mates with the coil of the fastener 30. Specifically, the thread form 60 engages the fastener helix, thereby cooperating with rotation of tube 10 to advance the fastener 30 into tissue in a screw-like manner upon rotation of tube 10. Optionally, a plurality of pins may be positioned to form a thread that mates with the fastener helix. If the length of the thread is at least as long as the stack of fasteners carried in the tube 10, the load spring may be eliminated.
[0038] In still another alternate embodiment of the invention, as seen in FIGS. 10a and 10 b, a fastener 70 may have a loop portion 72 near the blunt end. Preferably, the loop portion 72 has a connected end 74 and a free end 76. Optionally, both ends may be connected (not shown). In the embodiment having only one connected end, the loop portion 72 may extend beyond the diameter of the helical body of the fastener 70 at the connected end 74. The loop portion 72 may extend any length beyond the diameter of the fastener 70, but preferably extends a distance less than or equal to the thickness of the rotatable hollow tube 10.
[0039] The alternate fastener embodiment shown in FIG. 11 has a trailing tail 79 which extends outside tube 10 and is driven by the offset portion of tail 79 which engages slot 12.
[0040] Certain embodiments have been described herein, and are illustrated in the drawings. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications can be made to the embodiments without departing from the inventive concepts described. Accordingly, the invention is not be to restricted except by the claims which follow.

Karel Harbour has been promoted to chief operating officer for New York-based derivatives broker MF Global.Harbour will remain in London, where he was most recently chief operating officer for the company's European business, and will report to Bernard Dan, the firm's chief executive.
The appointment, made on Monday, was part of a broader management reshuffle at the New York firm following heavy second-quarter losses of $8.2 million from exposure to Lehman Brothers.
Dan previously held the position of chief operating officer but took over from Kevin Davis as chief executive on October 29. Additionally, on October 31, Avram Kornberg was appointed as the new chief information officer.

Prep sink to compliment farmhouse main sink?
What sort of prep sink compliments a white fireclay apron sink? Does it matter?
It would be helpful if I had a drawing, but I don't so I'll try to be concise.There will be a large rectangular island containing an under-mounted prep sink. Standing at the prepsink you are looking out towards the dining/great room. Island countertop will be butcherblock which will be oiled so that I can cut directly on it. Behind the prep sink, along the wall, is the range, flanked on either side by the all refrigerator/ freezer. To the left of the prep sink is the perimeter counter with double stacked ovens, counter space, main sink, more counter run. On the opposite perimeter (to the right of the prep sink) is a beverage/ snack center with a small counter top and bar sink. Perimeter counters will be Calcutta gold.
I was leaning toward an undermounted SS prep sink and smaller bar sink, but I'm not sure. I've recently fallen in love with several waterstone faucets and the Tuscan bronze finish is really calling me. Not sure how the bronze finish will look with a SS sink. I need to see the faucets in person, but the antique pewter might be an option as well.
There won't be a lot of other stainless as I plan to have the fridge and freezer fully integrated. The range will be a bluestar, which might be stainless or maybe a color (dark olive green?). The hood will be covered. The dishwashers will be paneled as well. The double wall ovens will be stainless. Cabinets will be a grayish-green or a mousy sort of brown and there won't be any uppers other than the beverage center and the cabinet containing the double wall ovens.
We are bulding on a wooded lot in the pacific northwest. Going for a modern sort of cabin/ farmhouse look with cottage/craftsman/rustic touches.
So I guess my question is how will stainless undermounted prep sink and bar sink look in the same kitchen with a large white fireclay apron sink? Also, how will the tuscan bronze finish look with the SS sinks?
Here are some photos of the faucets I'm looking at in the Tuscan bronze finish.
For the main farmhouse sink:
For the prep sink (this may be too large, also shown in the antique pewter as opposed to the Tuscan bronze)
Bar sink
Hi fellow PNWer!
Have you ruled out a Blanco silgranit? The cafe brown would probably go with both your wood counter and your bronze faucet.
I have a black walnut island counter with undermount prep sink. On the Carrara perimeter I used a metallic gray cleanup sink as that color looked best with the marble. I seriously considered using the cafe brown prep sink in the island to match the wood, but I had issues with the sinks not matching (minor issue) and with the stainless faucet looking strange with a brown sink. I ended up using the metallic gray sink in the island to match the perimeter.
Or, what about a copper prep sink?
I haven't ruled out silgranite, but if I go that route then what color for the bar sink (white-ish to match the Calcutta gold marble?) if I did that then I'd have three different sinks going on.
Also, how do the silgranite sinks feel? Are they like corian? I'm worried that they might look like plastic sinks. I feel like I'm going out of my way (and over budget) to stick with natural materials, so maybe I want a sink that continues with that. I don't mean that everything needs to be green or truly natural, just not plastic, vinyl or other obvious composite materials. Hope that makes sense.
Oh and off topic, you used a custom cabinet guy out of Buckley, right? Im pretty sure I'm thinking of your gorgeous white shaker cabs and walnut island. How did you find him price-wise? I keep reading these stories where people find custom cabinets to be the same or less than the semi custom, but maybe they are all lucky enough to have Amish communities nearby.
I don't like Corian. My sinks don't feel like plastic or corian. Yes, it is a composite material, but I'm not sure somebody would walk up to it and say "ooouuhhgg it's composite." They look metallically, silvery gray and wear like iron. If your mindset is that composite equals fake, then they aren't for you. Frankly, sometimes composite materials are better, IMHO, than natural. YMMV. And this is coming from someone who makes the huge majority of her food from scratch with organic and locally-sourced ingredients so natural matters to me.
My cabinets were made by Cornerstone Cabinetry, a one-man shop in Buckley. His quote equaled or was better price wise and included much more than quotes I received elsewhere for semi-custom cabinets. My cabs were made without fillers and included end panels without extra charge. I received personal attention, hand holding, and patience with last minute changes as the cabs were being made that I doubt you'd receive from a big box store or many other places. After experiencing a custom shop and products, I can't believe I would have been happy with anything else.

The 80 year old underwent an operation in May (10) to replace a faulty heart valve, after announcing news of her condition on the TV talk show.
A representative for Walters confirmed the procedure had been a success and stars including Cameron Diaz and Mike Myers sent messages to the TV host to wish her a speedy recovery.
Walters appeared on The View via videolink on Monday for the first time since the operation, announcing: "I am fully recovered!"
After receiving a standing ovation from the studio audience, she added, "I have to say thank you to my friends and the fans. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Walters will return to her satellite radio show next week (beg19Jul10) and is expected to make a full return to The View in September (10).

WASHINGTON (AP) — The country's top medical regulator is preparing to tell Congress that new laws are needed to police large specialty pharmacies like the one at the center of a deadly meningitis outbreak.
FDA chief seeks new powers to police pharmacies
Testimony released ahead of the first congressional hearing on the incident shows that Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Margaret Hamburg will ask lawmakers to give her agency more authority and funding to oversee compounding pharmacies. Hamburg is one of four witnesses called to testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The committee will also hear from a Massachusetts health official, the owner of the Framingham, Mass.-based pharmacy tied to the outbreak and the widow of a patient killed by the company's product.
About 440 people have been sickened by contaminated steroid shots distributed by New England Compounding Center, and more than 32 deaths have been reported since the outbreak began in September. Compounding pharmacies have been linked to occasional safety problems for decades, but the current outbreak of fungal meningitis is the deadliest case in modern U.S. history, according to industry experts.
That has put the NECC at the center of congressional scrutiny as lawmakers consider tighter regulation of compounding pharmacies, which have long operated in a legal gray area between state and federal laws.
"FDA's authority over compounding pharmacies is limited by law and is not suited to effectively regulate the evolving compounding industry," Hamburg said, in a statement released ahead of the hearing. "We need a clear path forward that is proactive and preventive."

A neutron diagnostic has been designed to achieve high energy neutron spectroscopy in large γ background. The concept of this diagnostic is based on the association of a Micromegas detector with a neutron-to-charged particle converter. Electrons produced by γ-rays go through the Micromegas with a low ionization probability, making the detector γ-rays insensitive. This low γ sensitivity makes this concept appealing for inertial confinement fusion experiments. The good time resolution of the apparatus allows the reconstruction of neutron energy spectra with the time-of-flight technique. We plan to use such spectrometer on future high power laser installation (Laser MegaJoule in France or National Ignition facility in USA).

Previously on Smash: Ivy is Marilyn and really wants that Tony award. Kyle is dead. Derek has woman problems. And Jerry is backing Hit List's transfer to Broadway.
Well, that was quick. Hit List will start previews April 9, the marquee says, as its eager downtown fans swarm the theater. Jimmy is even pretending not to be a colossal asshole, signing autographs and posing for pictures. Inside, Karen sings, Jimmy plays, there's some sort of glass-sided fireplace on stage? It's kind of insane. And Sam has slotted in as a member of the ensemble, as has Daisy, one of the dancers who accused Derek of sexual harassment last year and then banged him a few weeks ago.
When Karen's number ends, Ana is late for her entrance. Backstage, Daisy consoles her and innocently remarks on how nervous she'd be if she had to cover for Ana, who can tell when someone wants to throw her down a flight of stairs and steal her role. Karen tells Jimmy she thinks the show is going well, but he's not thrilled with it. Because suddenly he's a professional and committed to excellence at all times? Sure, whatever.
In the Flatiron rehearsal studio, Tom and Eileen listen to a brunette with an absolutely enormous mouth belt a number for a Houston-Levitt concert that Eileen is throwing to woo Tony voters. Julia's at Hit List, which concerns Eileen, because she doesn't want the town talking about the disintegrating Houston-Levitt partnership. He assures her that they'll both be there for the concert.
In Times Square, Karen runs into Ivy, who congratulates her on the transfer. She asks Karen to promise they'll both act like adults amid the craziness of Tony season, and I wonder if the Joe DiMaggio Kickline dropped Ivy on her head at some point, because asking Karen Cartwright not to act like a petulant, pouting child for an extended period of time and thinking she'll actually do it is not the move of a rational mind.
At Table 46, The Only Restaurant in New York, Jimmy tells Derek and Julia that he's not happy with Hit List, even though the ticket sales are incredible. He wants to win the Tony for Kyle and is concerned about the energy of the show. They think maybe the problem is Ana, who isn't adjusting to the bigger theater well, and then Derek suggests the problem might be the book. You know, the thing that was always the problem, because Kyle wasn't actually very good at this. Jimmy rules out touching any of Kyle's work. Tom and Eileen arrive and pull Julia away after Tom and Derek do a truly adorable fist bump. It's like 2008 Michelle and Barack level cute.

- "Our problem is that the S&P is up this year about 25% on earnings that are up 3%. So we've got a market that is rising because of P/E expansion," 21-year GMO veteran Ben Inker tells Barron's (one recalls a similar warning from Guggenheim back in August).
- Inker argues that because P/E multiples are still expanding at a time when profit margins are "already as good as we've ever seen," the prospects for upside surprises to profit growth look "pretty dim" going forward.
- As for bonds, Inker characterizes the return on U.S. government debt as "horrible" and says corporate debt "is riskier than people are making it out to be, particularly the very low-rated stuff."
- Inker's picks for the current environment: TIPS, "high-quality" U.S. companies, and emerging-market stocks where reasonable valuations leave room for some upside.
- "High-quality" U.S. stocks mentioned include: JNJ, MCD, WMT, MSFT
- TIPS ETFs: TIP, VTIP, IPE, SCHP, LTPZ, STPZ, TIPZ, STIP, TPS, TDTT, TDTF, TIPX
- EM ETFs: EEM, VWO, EDC, EDZ, SCHE, IEMG, EEV, PIE, ADRE, EUM, EET, GMM, EEME, EMCR, DBEM, EWEM, FEM, EMLB, EMSA, EMFT, EMDR
- High-yield ETFs: HYG, JNK, HYS, HYLD, SJNK, PHB, SJB, ANGL, XOVR, UJB, QLTC

interesting call and appreciate the Barron's reprint here. always good to be reminded that there is an asset class you can buy into if inflation is your primary concern. obviously the Government has been minting money in this space going on many years now so i'm sure they're quite happy with the recommendation. while we do have an apparently very "dovish" incoming Fed Chairperson she doesn't appear to be "rocking the boat" as it were either. i thinking "weaning" all the various interested parties of QE will be quite the challenge even for an "uber Fed Chief." it does amaze me that there is apparently no actual "number" where the Fed will be forced by the bond market to stop monetizing. If anything the exact opposite appears to be true. if there was an "accident" that Chairman Bernanke discovered in preventing 2008 from becoming a full blown depression with likes of Detroit "dotting the landscape only on a much bigger scale" (Wisconsin had a lot of problems back then as i recall) it was not only in beginning the policy of QE but that he actually came public with the zero bound rate policy. that was indeed news...i think it will be interesting to see what the studies are that will be done vis a vis "to what extent did going public have an added effect." the Japanese obviously never did this when they became the first to try QE back in the late 90's. i think this is important subject to explore because "the same might be true in reverse"...in other words "it was a mistake to say you're exiting QE" just as it may have been the right thing to do to say "you're entering QE." not an expert by many means...just thinking of "thinking outside the box" here.
With all due respect, the S&P 500 p/e is near the level it historically peaks at, or about 30% higher than the historic median.
If you discount the possibility of a sudden drop in the market, then there is only one possible outcome:
Even with an expansion cycle of revenue and profit, there will be an extended period where profit/earnings will outperform market returns. The longer the market rises on sub-par earnings, the longer the future stagnation will be.
Agree with Stone Fox.
Oooh barrons -- Pleeeze !
It truly gets boring after sooo many years of incorrect "forecasts".
Good luck to all.

Embodi: Juice Brand Promises The Same Health Benefits Of Wineby Beth Graddon-Hodgson
Recently I've been talking a lot about wine and wine related products, I'm not sure what that says other than the fact that perhaps it's been a while since my corkscrew has made in appearance. However, since not everyone likes to drink, let's focus on a company that gives the same benefits of wine, but without the alcohol.

Obvious And Industrious Business Idea: Hungry Pod Loads Your iPodby Beth Graddon-Hodgson

Luna: Organic Meal Plan For Pregnant and Nursing Womenby Beth Graddon-Hodgson
Despite the cravings that can accompany pregnancy, it can be challenging for women who are expecting or nursing to focus on maintaining a balanced diet that is crucial for the health of a baby. It can take a lot of effort to research the foods that are beneficial and those to avoid, and who wants to do that when exhausted from pregnancy or caring for a brand new baby. A new brand of food just for pregnant women, takes the thought out of nutrition in pregnancy.

Unique Restaurant Serves Peanut Butter and Jelly Exclusively!by Beth Graddon-Hodgson
Peanut butter has forever been a staple in sandwiches that appear in lunch bags and snack tables around North America for years. But with increased knowledge about peanut butter allergies, it can be difficult to find somewhere where you can sit down to enjoy a good old PB&J sandwich, that is if you don't where to look. One restaurant franchise brings peanut butter back into the accepted mainstream, by serving nothing but peanut butter.
WineSide: Wine Tasting From Test Tube Wine Bottlesby Beth Graddon-Hodgson
Selling wine by the glass can lead to waste at restaurants or wine that just isn't top quality because the bottle isn't finished within the recommended time after recorking. A company called WineSide has come up with a unique alternative by packaging their finest wines in a unique way.

Letter: Meet the newest student from Crailsheim
By Lars Opaczek, Crailsheim exchange student to Worthington
Hello, my name is Lars Opaczek and I'm the new Crailsheim exchange student for the year 2013-2014. I'm 17 years old and now a senior at WHS.
I was very excited to come here, but I also was a little bit afraid, wondering what I would do if I didn't like it here, so far away from home. There is no way back!

Hand Pollination
I've decided to (hopefully) develop my own strains of Phaseolus vulgaris by intentionally cross-breeding different heirloom strains by hand pollination.
I'm having quite a difficult time finding any information on this topic anywhere online. Hopefully, fellow gardeners around the world here can help me :)
First off, has anyone here had any success hand pollinating perfect flowers? I've read that most beans pollinate themselves before the flower even opens. One website suggested removing the stamen the evening before the morning the flower is due to open, then pollinating the pistil the next day with pollen from the prospective "mate". Is there another way to go about this, or any advise on the best way to accomplish this?
Secondly, it seems to me that most beans can be used as snap, shell and dry beans, depending on the maturity level of the pods, only some cultivars are better suited for one or the other. If crossing, for instance, a pinto bean with a blue lake bush bean, would you treat the F1's as a dry bean, or a green (snap) bean? or both, and decide which is best?
Which brings me to my main question: which traits are dominant and recessive when it comes to Phaseolus vulgaris?
string - stringless pod type
green - yellow - purple - striped pod color
bush - pole growth habit
white - black - mottled - any combination thereof seed color
straight - curved pod shape
flat - rounded pod shape
snap - wax - shell - dry - cranberry bean suitability
flavor and texture?
These are all traits I would like to work with, but only a few at a time of course. I'd like to start off small scale, and work my way up to much larger breeding experiments.
Also, I do understand Mendelian genetics, and the F1 "hybrids" are not my goal. Letting the F1's self pollinate, I will plant the second generation (F2's) and begin selecting the more desirable trait combinations to begin the new strains.
ANY help at all would be greatly appreciated, especially concerning the dominant/recessive traits. Knowing that will let me know if I succeded in crossing the beans.
Thanx for any and all help
Joseph (Houston TX, zone 8b -9a)

for cartoon heroes ep 1, I did james t cats voice, i did picards voice as a cat, and i voiced CatStar during a review using his British accent, and heroic tone....that was my contribution to this gaming community, my cat RP
on further thought, that fiction i wrote for CatStar was what this forum needed i think, with all of the dark and brooding themes has been over done from comics to movie and especially games. we needed a reminder of the heroic roots of sci fi action adventures came from, the flash gordon style hero who would fight impossible odds against powerful foes and get the girl in the end. epic!
But then again, this community has never seen anything like my Dryad girl. She was created back when I played Dungeons and Dragons with our old group on the Net Hack server. She is 4 ft tall Dryad girl with butterfly wings, a Bard by trade and master manipulator, who worshiped Chaos, not the goddess, herself. Heck, most of the net book of practical jokes came from her. My inspiration for her was Bugs Bunny, anything he would do, so would she. When my brother needed help while he ran our old guilds KDF fleet I made and leveled an alien for the KDF side (BTW I hate the KDF side, its full of ugliness and naked Ork women!!!) I made Andromida, her pet Sehlat can't compair to the Tiger she had for a mount in the dice game, but "Ace" still follows her around just the same. http://raptr.com/MariePizzo/wall?filter=url Here is a screenshot of her on STO. I also have another picture of her available, this one my brother drew for me back when she was just a pen and paper character. http://catstarsto.deviantart.com/art...mida-276750675
Sometimes random thoughts are the best just proofread before hitting send.
