Larry Herndon was collecting discarded cans around a dumpster on Highway 80 in Wrens Tuesday, March 12, when he came across a piece of metal he didnÆt want to touch.
ōI knew what it was when I first seen it,ö Herndon said. ōI was concerned about someone cutting grass along here and hitting it or throwing a rock that might hit it. It could have killed everyone around here.ö

Appellation Spring
Appellation Spring People & Places Articles http://www.decanter.com/people-and-places/wine-articles/490311/appellation-spring- 2003-09-01T00:00:00+01:00 Monday 1 September 2003
In its bid to match the status of Old World regions, California is increasingly obsessed with establishing its own appellation system. But, asks Adam Lechmere, is it worth the effort?
Janet Trefethen has her fingers crossed. This isn't unusual – she's had them crossed for about 10 years now, ever since she and her husband John decided to register their particular corner of Napa as an American Viticultural Area (AVA). Trefethen Vineyards is on the outskirts of Napa city, just north of Oak Knoll Avenue. The Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley has been a long time in the making.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), to which petitions for AVAs must be made, demands a raft of 'evidentiary criteria' to recognise a region's soil, climate and geography as unique. These include proof that the name of the area is locally or nationally known, historical evidence as to its boundaries, and a geographical sketch of the proposed area, distinguishing it from surrounding areas. The proposal is then set out for public scrutiny.
It's an exhaustive process. And while it was fairly straightforward to ask world soil expert Deborah Eliot-Fisk of the University of California, Davis to contribute to the soil and climate part of the Oak Knoll petition, drawing the boundaries was more difficult.
'We did it with a king-sized map and a ruler,' Trefethen says. 'We hauled it round the farmers, with plastic over the top so you can redraw the lines.' Where Napa grapes are concerned, however, politics is never far away – especially when it comes to growers who resented having their vineyards fall outside the boundary.
The vineyard division of investment advisor the Universal Capital Corporation (UCC) concentrates on vineyard and winery investments. The group objected to the eastern boundary of the Oak Knoll submission, claiming: 'Obviously, it is convenient to use [the] Silverado Trail as the eastern boundary [but] it excludes vineyards that produce grapes of the same varieties and the same quality levels [as Oak Knoll] from the same soils and the same climate... it seems that consistency of soils, climate, varieties and quality should overrule the simplicity of drawing boundaries that are easy to define, but illogical.'
David Freed, a former corporate lawyer, chairs UCC. He lost his case. 'It was strongly suggested that the sanctity of the Silverado Trail outweighed any individual consideration,' he says.
Supporters of the AVA system accept that political expedience affects decisions, but insist the only real way to set boundaries is by science. The ATF agrees: modern AVA petitions contain reams of evidence from soil experts, engineers, meteorologists and local historians. But in the end the line must be drawn, and people don't like being outside it.
Freed, for example, has a property which is nearly, but not quite, in Carneros. 'We can tell Mondavi or Beaulieu Vineyards that we have the most wonderful grapes. They say "Is it Carneros?" and we say "No". So we can't sell it to them. They're making a Carneros Chardonnay, so that means at least 75% of the grapes have to be Carneros.' It's a frustrating situation for some growers.
'Where the line is drawn across the paper, that's the way things are. But it should be the science that decides it,' says Brad Alderson, one of the fathers of the AVA system. Alderson pushed through one of the first appellations in 1986, the Lodi AVA, in the San Joaquin Valley between Sacramento and Stockton.
In reality, though, it is only the winemakers who worry about where the line is drawn. If asked, many people will name 'Mondavi' as a California AVA. As Decanter's New York correspondent Howard G Goldberg trenchantly observes, 'There is scant evidence that the general public cares one whit.'
There are, equally, many in the trade who don't believe in the system. They feel it's too blunt compared with the rigorous French system, which with its water bans and proscribed grape varieties guarantees a degree of quality.
Goldberg sees it as a classic case of American envy of the Old World: 'The impetus, verging on a craze, for AVAs almost surely arises from envy of the French appellation system and a simplistic notion that its values and implications can be automatically transplanted here.'
Even the new generation of Napa winemakers is doubtful. Jayson Woodbridge is on his third harvest of Cabernet Sauvignon at Hundred Acre Vineyards. He's been given 94+ points by Robert Parker and has no difficulty selling his wine. He's within the Howell Mountain AVA but he's only interested in putting Napa on his label.
'Fewer people are using appellations now. Two people can farm the same appellation and get dramatically different results.' So what's all the fuss about? Good question, says Alderson.
'It's a communication tool. It's an opportunity to say to the consumer, "This has a certain style if you care to lean about it."'
In the early days there was an idea of appellation but it was a basic delineation. Now, however much the Bordelais (and even Californians) may scoff, terroir is recognised here, and has to be, for an AVA to be granted.
Janet Trefethen: 'We're such a tiny valley and we have so many different soil types. Napa is one-fifth the size of Bordeaux and yet has more identified soil types.'
Geologist Jonathan Swinchatt completed a major study in Napa and considers Oak Knoll unique: 'The different rock types in the source may affect the texture and structure of the alluvial fan sediments, mineral composition, and the clay/mineral composition. All have potential influence on grapes and wine character.'
Whatever the extent of the influence, Napa winegrowers are delighted to have a tool that calibrates – and celebrates – these differences. The system's champions say AVAs, properly administered, are the coming of age of US wine.
Phil Wente, who runs the family-owned Wente Vineyards, says buyers will come to understand appellation as the most sophisticated classification a wine can have.
'Appellation marketing is the ultimate. Anybody can make Chardonnay, or Cabernet or Merlot, but what they're really doing is selling a mass-branded product of little distinction. If your whole brand is based on 'Chardonnay' and not appellation, it won't be long before somebody will copy your style and steal your market.'
John Trefethen agrees: 'The most important thing is to give the consumer a sense of place. At the moment you can talk about it all you like, you can love the wine, but what wine? The AVA will define it: "The Oak Knoll district wine".'
There are, of course, commercial advantages. Trefethen sees how the AVA will strengthen the brand. Equally, Wente's theory is about creating brands rooted in place: that way no one can copy them. Yet both know they are only at the beginning of their journey. 'We are only starting to learn that it's very difficult to grow great Chardonnay north of Yountville, or great Cabernet south of the northern boundary of Napa town,' says Janet Trefethen. 'But if you farm right
you can make great wines. These things take generations.'

Advertisement for Warren's Blacking Warehouse with cat crest
Warren's Blacking was a leading manufacturer of shoe-black (shoe-polish) in the 19th century. Available as a liquid in bottles or as a paste in pots, the blacking was 'sold in every town in the kingdom' as this advertisement boasts. Notoriously, Charles Dickens worked at Warren's Blacking Factory when he was 12 years old, during the period his father was imprisoned for debt. His job was to paste labels onto the blacking pots.
This small printed advertisement is cut from a newspaper. As typical of all of Warren's advertisements, its header illustration is comic in tone and emphasises the blacking's high quality: a cat bristles at the sight of its own reflection in the newly shined and blacked shoe.
- Full title:
- Advertisement for Warren's Blacking Warehouse with cat crest. Pencil inscription G. Ck., with additional note: 'C. Dickens lived here'. No source apparent for either advert. [from the author's presentation copy of The Life of Dickens, 1872-74]

Service Chiefs, SLMM visit Trincomalee[TamilNet, Friday, 11 October 2002, 19:15 GMT]The heads of three State armed forces and the Inspector General of Police are scheduled to visit Trincomalee Saturday to review the security situation in the wake of Friday violence in which three Tamil civilians were killed and thirty-eight others were wounded, defence ministry sources said. The Head of the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM) Major General (retd) Trond Furuhovde also is expected to visit the east port town Saturday, SLMM sources said. Major General Anton Wijendra and the Deputy Inspector General of Police Mr. Lal Ratnayake arrived Trincomalee Friday evening on the instruction of the Prime Minister to take immediate steps to bring the tense situation in Trincomalee under control. The eastern port town is now under eighteen-hour curfew till Saturday morning 6 a.m. However, according to a defence ministry source the curfew is likely to be extended Saturday too. Meanwhile, addressing a press briefing Friday evening the Defence Ministry Secretary Mr. Austin Fernando said that the Trincomalee incident would have no effect on the ongoing peace talks between the government and the Liberation Tigers. "Peace talks will go on as scheduled," said Mr. Austin Fernando. He added that it is the responsibility of the Government as well as the LTTE to confront such setbacks with strength of purpose and to carry forward the peace process with renewed vigour. The Ampara and Trincomalee incidents will not provide a reason for the Government and the LTTE to move away from the peace process. He said that certain elements are distorting the Trincomalee and Ampara incidents to derail the peace process. People should be alert and not to succumb to rumours spread with ulterior motives. The three killed in Friday violence in Trincomalee have been identified as Sonaimuttu Konalingam (18) of Ghandinagar, Christie Mayuran (22) of Anpuvallipuram and Kanapathipillai Sasikumar of Palaiootu. |

Dashboard spy could drive down premiums
A DEVICE in your car that assesses your driving skills and sets your insurance premiums accordingly may sound like science fiction, but it is already fact. It has been labelled the spy-in-your-car but growing numbers of motorists have seized on telematics technology as a way of driving down their motor insurance costs. Most are younger drivers who face premiums of up to £2,000 a year because standard policies view them as high risk.
They hope the black box tracking device will demonstrate they have road skills and maturity beyond their years and reward them accordingly.
It may also save money for older motorists, low mileage drivers or those who avoid using their car in the morning rush hour and late at night, especially at weekends.
More than half of all drivers plan to embrace telematics pay-as-you-drive technology in the next five years, according to new research from Young Marmalade, which runs a combined car purchase and telematics insurance scheme for young motorists.
It is definitely making Britain's road safer
Among the over-55s that figure rises to two-thirds. The black box won't simply save you money, it can also make you a better driver says Crispin Moger, managing director at Young Marmalade.
"Only 3 per cent of our young drivers have seen their premiums increase due to poor driving. It is definitely making Britain's road safer."
So, do you want to have your very own spy in your car?
Traditional motor insurance sets your premiums according to factors such as your age, sex, postcode, vehicle, where you park at night and your claims history.
Young motorists, particularly men, pay higher premiums because they are more likely to have an accident, says Graeme Trudgill at the British Insurance Brokers' Association.
"Not only do they make more claims but those claims are more expensive, as they often drive at greater speeds. The average claim for an 18-year-old costs £4,400 compared with £1,400 for a 30-year-old."
Safe and sensible young motorists pay similar premiums to adrenaline-fuelled boy racers because traditional insurers are unable to differentiate between the two.
"Telematics-based insurers such as Young Marmalade, iKube Insurance and Coverbox can help responsible young drivers show they deserve a discount on their premiums," Trudgill says. Telematics technology uses a combination of mobile phone technology, satnav and a device called an electronic accelerometer to track and assess your personal driving abilities, says Ian Crowder at The AA, which is considering using the technology.
"The black box measures your location, speed, cornering, acceleration and braking. If it judges you to be a safe driver your insurer will give you a lower premium but if you're taking risks, your premium could increase," he says. The black box scores your motoring abilities and lets you review the results online to help you amend your behaviour.
"Anecdotal evidence suggests that motorists who have the black box make 30 per cent fewer claims than those who don't, though that may be because more aggressive drivers won't want it in their car," adds Crowder.
Installing the box costs about £250 although most insurers build this into your quote.
"The cost means it is best suited to younger drivers, retired people and those with a poor driving record, as they can save the most on their insurance premiums, but as more insurers adopt it the price will inevitably come down," Crowder says.
Fears about being spied on by your own car are receding, he adds.
"We are all subject to surveillance of one sort or another. Smartphones know exactly where you are. In cities you get filmed by CCTV several times in a day. Your debit and credit card can alert your bank to your location at any given time and telematics is just another step. If you aren't hiding anything why should it be an issue?"
Telematics-based insurers may also set your premiums according to the time of day that you drive. Coverbox, for example, charges a price-per-mile that rises sharply on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights from 11pm to 5am, the so-called "super peak" times when young motorists are most likely to have an accident, say, driving back from a pub or nightclub.
Coverbox managing director Johan van de Merwe says its pay-as-you-drive plan "rewards the majority of younger motorists who drive sensibly rather than tarring them with the same brush as their more reckless peers".
Young female drivers have traditionally paid less for insurance than their male counterparts because they have fewer and less serious accidents.
That will change from December 21, when the EU bans insurers from basing premiums on gender. Young women could see their insurance premiums rise 20 per cent overnight, according to the Association of British Insurers.
At that point many younger female drivers may turn to telematics, says Niki Bolton at specialist women's insurer Sheila's Wheels, which is also considering the technology. "It can help careful women drivers to secure cheaper premiums by building up their own 'safe' driving profile using the statistics collected by their in-car black box."The new black box technology has some security benefits as well. If your car is stolen it makes it easier to trace. If you are being blamed after an accident it could also reveal, for example, that you were obeying the speed limit.
Some price comparison sites allow you to compare telematics-based insurers against traditional insurance.
Scott Kelly, head of car insurance at Gocompare.com, says it offers quotes from Coverbox and Insurethebox.
"Anybody who drives less than 6,000 miles a year could save money with telematics. So could older, retired motorists who avoid the roads during the peak rush-hour periods and late at night.
"As the technology develops we expect it to attract many more drivers."
Parents who pay their children's motor insurance bills can even check their driving performance online and pick them up on any bad habits. "Although their children may not be too keen!" Kelly adds.
So, is it for you?
Telematics won't suit high-mileage motorists or those who drive regularly at night. Nor will it suit people who change their car regularly, because of the expense of removing and refitting the box.
This may change if car manufacturers start fitting telematic technology to new cars as standard. "That will be the tipping point for telematics products. People could then use the box with different insurers and save money on installation charges," Kelly says.
Mainstream insurers are increasingly switching on to the black box. The Co-operative's Young Driver scheme has 15,000 members paying £1,300 a year on average, says head of motor insurance Grant Mitchell.
"More than 80 per cent of our customers get a discount, which is £100 on average. After one year motorists could save up to 40 per cent on their premiums," he adds.
Rewarding motorists for driving responsibly has improved driving behaviour, Mitchell says.
"It has cut accidents by 20 per cent and the accidents that have occurred have been less serious. Our scheme is still relatively new, but if taken up on a larger scale it could be a major step forward in improving the safety on the nation's roads."
If you don't fancy a spy in your car though, you can still do plenty to cut insurance bills such as building a no-claims discount, ditching unneeded extras such as a courtesy car or driving a small car with a less powerful engine.

I don't generally mix work and the blog, but for those of you who are interested in the federal securities laws, I have an article out in the Delaware Journal of Corporate Law on Rule 10b-5(a) & (c) liability. You can download it here off SSRN.
UPDATE (6/30): No sooner do I publish than the Ninth Circuit disagrees with me.
Good stuff, Crank. Unfortunately (in the big picture of this thing called "Life"), this is a topic I know all too well.
In fact, I was rather heavily involved (from the P side of the ledger) in one of the cases you cite in FN 36. It was *sub judice* when I left my last firm, so now I have to get in touch with someone to satisfy my curiosity on how it all turned out!

According to several sources, Lesnar lost it on a number of WWE officials and began ripping apart a dressing room, upset over the John Cena promo that closed the PPV.
The original plan was for Cena, despite winning, to be so beaten that he was carried out of the building, leaving an opening for Lesnar to brag that while he had lost the battle on a fluke, he had won the war.
When Cena decided to address the audience, Lesnar perceived it as Cena double crossing him and lost in on WWE officials. It's not yet known how they calmed him down, but tonight's angle with HHH was planned in advance as a way to remove Lesnar from TV.
Sources within the company have indicated that Lesnar's current deal only requires him to work two dates minimum per month.

I am Kevin,46 years old, been married 25+ years to Lori, We have 1 kid a girl (Danielle) who is the light of our life. We have raced for 15+ years our current ride is a 67 Nova SS 386inch SB2 SBC, liberty 5 speed. We just purchased the motor from some good friends who are also members here. (Rob and Gary) with the topsportsman Stud. I am very happy with the motor so fare it has been 8.40's and we have alot left in it. We are not really turning it up yet because we run an 8.60 index class and we are already to quick for the class, on the other hand the next step up is 7.60 and I don't think we can get there. I believe we will end up in the 8.00 to 7.90 and be stuck in the middle but that the way things go you could have worse problems.Stop out at GLD and see us sometime we are always at the NSCB. Good luck and be safe. | |

The boat
A strong and lively one-design radio-controlled model sail boat, designed for any wind and sea condition, the Soling One Meter is forgiving in the hands of a new skipper (making it suitable for introducing newcomers to the hobby) while offering the balanced control, sensitivity to tuning, precise handling and spirited performance that keeps veteran skippers involved in the class for years.
The Soling One Meter is a scale model of the one-design Olympic triple-handed Soling class keelboat and was introduced to the American Model Yachting Association (AMYA) in 1993. Since that time, it has grown to become the largest class of model boats in the US registered with the American Model Yachting Association (AMYA) - with more than 2,700 hull/sail numbers assigned since the kit was first released for production – the class is also the most geographically diverse (with fleets to be found sailing in almost every state in the United States, and in Canada, Australia, Europe and the United Kingdom).

More Twitter Facts for Those Who Crave These Things
If nothing else, Twitter sure generates a lot of user data. As to the accuracy of the data there is no way to tell what's what. When the data comes from Twitter directly, however, do you trust it more or less?
As reported in the Guardian, Evan Weaver, the lead engineer on the Twitter services team gave a little insight into the inner workings of the service but also told the audience at the QCon 2009 some tidbits like
- The average Twitter user has 126 followers (no mention as to how many are spam)
- Only 20% of the Twitter traffic comes through the website. Third party software on smart phones and computers contribute the rest.
- While the Iranian election has seen some traffic spikes it pales in comparison to the Obama inauguration, which had about 300 tweets per second (and that was at a time where there was considerably fewer users and the real hype around the service had yet to reach its peak)
While not earth shattering findings it is interesting how Weaver went on to talk about the architecture of Twitter and the myriad tools that are used to make everything happen in the Twitterverse.
Most of the tools used by Twitter are open source. The stack is made up of Rails for the front side, C, Scala and Java for the middle business layer, and MySQL for storing data. Everything is kept in RAM and the database is just a backup. The Rails front end handles rendering, cache composition, DB querying and synchronous inserts. This front end mostly glues together several client services, many written in C: MySQL client, Memcached client, a JSON one, and others
With little going on at the start of the Fourth of July week you may want to check just what's under the hood of Twitter. Just reading that last paragraph alone, however, gave me a headache. I think I'll go tweet about it.

Once the current state map has been defined, proceed to outline your future state map. Future mapping outline involve four main steps:
Starting the Future State Mapping
At this point is assumed that the current state map in well understood by all team members and all have had agreed on the data, because the future state map will change constantly during the process design, use a white board with erasable dry markers or a rota folio (big sheets of paper that can be folded back) or even better use a Panaboard or similar device.
Important: Since the design of the future state will requires several adjustments, do not try to be very detailed at the beginning, the future mapping progress must have the approval of all team members and must agreed on so several changes could be possible.

Additional Information: | The idea of videoing the opening sessions came quite late in the day, so we didn't have time to test the cameras in advance or get everything mic'd up properly. We literally set them up, pointed them vaguely in the direction of the screen, pressed "record" and hoped the for best! The audio on some of the sessions was quite low, so I've done a bit of tweaking to try and boost the voice and remove background noise. For some sessions, the audio is still difficult to hear, but it's better than it was! The plasma screen we used for some of the sessions produced a really nasty strobing effect on video, so I've added a "motion blur" filter to those videos which takes the edge off the flashing. As no-one was operating the camera, the video doesn't track the speaker if they move around a lot. The first couple of minutes are missing due to the camera tape being changed. [Dave Pattern] |

2007 Annual Report
COMPUTERIZED CENTER PIVOT IRRIGATION SYSTEM REDUCES MANAGEMENT TIME/INCREASES WATER USE EFFICIENCY: Profitability of irrigated agriculture in the High Plains is constrained by high pumping costs and by the loss of nutrients and water due to over irrigation, resulting in decreased yields and increased expenses, yet producers have limited time to manage irrigations. Scientists in the Soil and Water Management Research Unit, Bushland, Texas, created a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system to read crop leaf temperatures remotely using infrared thermometers, and to control a center pivot irrigation system to apply water automatically using the time-temperature threshold (TTT) method of automatic irrigation scheduling. The SCADA system has been shown to produce high yields while using water efficiently, reducing management effort, and eliminating over irrigation. (NP201, Problem Area 2, Irrigation Water Management)

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Creating a Delphi Form from a String | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Here's how to create an instance of a Delphi form, from its name. Example: if a string 'TMyForm' is provided, a new form of type TMyForm should be created ... | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Suppose you have a bunch of forms in your application (like you probably do). Of course, much of those forms get created dynamically at run time (and are removed from the "Auto-Create Forms" list in the Project properties window).
Let's say you have a form named "MyForm" where the class name is "TMyForm" you want to create. To create an instance of the "MyForm" form, at run-time, you could use the next code (to have it displayed modally, and freed as soon as it gets closed):
Or, you could set the "Application" to be the owner of the MyForm form, and issue a command like (to have it created and freed at a later time):
Now, what if you *do not* know the exact class type of a form object. What if you only have the string variable carrying the name of the form's class, as 'TMyForm'? You cannot use any of the code samples provided above. Application.CreateForm expects a variable of a TFormClass type NOT a string. You most certainly cannot use 'TmyForm'.Create(...)!
The FindClass() Delphi function locates a class type from a string. The search goes through all registered classes. To register a class, a procedure RegisterClass() can be issued. When the FindClass function returns a TPersistentClass value, we cast it to TFormClass, and a new TForm object can be created!
An example In the MainForm's OnCreate event register the classes:
Once the button is clicked, we find the selected form's type name, and call a custom CreateFormFromName procedure:
If the first item is selected in the list box, the "s" variable will hold the "TFirstForm" string value. The CreateFormFromName will create an instance of the TFirstForm form:
That's it! If you need any help with the code, be sure to post your questions on the Delphi Programming Forum. |

THE Bombay High Court Tuesday set aside the deemed conveyance granted to the societies in the Campa Cola compound in Worli and remanded the matter to the deputy registrar of cooperative societies for a fresh hearing.
Justice R M Savant was acting on a petition filed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) challenging the December 17, 2013 ex-parte order passed by the Deputy Registrar of societies granting the certificate for deemed conveyance of the Campa Cola land to six buildings.
The civic body had contended that the deputy registrar had granted unilateral deemed conveyance of the right, title and interest with regard to the land under the Maharashtra Ownership of Flats Act in favour of Shubh, Esha Ekta, BY Apartments, Mid Town, Patel and Orchid buildings in the compound.
A deemed conveyance is an order allowing a society the legal right over property in case the builder/ land owner and/ or their legal heirs are not willing to transfer the rights.
With deemed conveyance, the owners of the illegal flats would become the property holders of the plot and could then apply for regularisation of the illegal portions using the compounds leftover permissible Floor Space Index.
During the hearing, the BMC also said that it was the owner of the 17,719 square metre of land, of which 13,049 square metre had been conveyed to the Campa Cola societies.
Representing the societies, senior counsel Prasad Dhakephalkar told the court that his clients did not have any objection to the High Courts order asking the matter to be heard afresh. He also said that they have no objection to making the BMC a party to the proceedings before the competent authority the Deputy Registrar.
Justice Sawant, while setting aside the December 17, 2013 order, directed the the deputy registrar to hear and decide the societies application latest by September 4, 2014.
The societies within the compound in Worli were embroiled in a row over the demolition of 25 illegal floors in seven buildings. On June 3, the Supreme Court had dismissed a fresh petition filed by the residents seeking an extension of their eviction deadline and regularisation of the illegal flats.
The demolition that was ordered by the apex court in February 2013, was deferred by the court on two occasions. The latest deadline was May 31. After the residents failed to get relief from the Supreme Court on June 3, the civic body granted them more time to

Should banks own industrial firms? : Remarks from the German perspective

Other than in Belgium, German banks may hold even controlling equity participations in industrial firms (and such firms may own banks) and do so to a large extent. Vis-a-vis the European development this leads to two questions: From the perspective of the (Belgian and other) competitors of these banks, whether their own domestic System might be disadvantageous to them. And from a public interest perspective, which advantages and drawbacks are connected with the different regulations in Europe. The article first informs about the legal framework and some statistical facts. Then the various and different reasons why banks acquire and hold shares on own account are analyzed. The following Parts deal with the various public policy arguments whether equity links between banks and industrial firms should be prohibited or not (safety and soundness of banking; autonomie de Ia fonction bancaire ; abuse of confidential information and conflicts of interest; antitrust considerations; negative and positive impacts on the respective firm). In its last part the article deals with recent proposals in the German political debate to limit stockholdings of banks. The article argues that a step-by-step approach to the Single Problems and issues (conflict of interests; anticompetitive effects etc.) should be preferred to a general limitation of stock ownership of banks.…

See why being single has its good points.
Not only do I have to get a husband on board with what dogs I want, I do not have to put up with any breed that I do not want. Of course there is no one to help pay for or care for them. This is one of the reasons I say if I get married at this stage in the game, he will have to move in down the street somewhere. I need my space.

There's a Saint Bernard drooling on my slippers right now. 'Nuff said... I didn't want another dog period and dh is never home. Case in point, I last saw him Thursday at midnight and he's still an hour away. But now, I do adore Dolly, despite the mountains of hair, the drool, the food - OMG can she eat!
There is no "letting" in our relationship. I do as I wish and he may ask permission to do other things, which I deny, then pretend I came up with the idea on my own as a surprise for him Just kidding, a Saint or Newf has always been his dream dog, he grew up with one, he wanted one and what's another gigantic mouth to feed. Our goals and dreams may not always be exactly the same but we support one another and put up with what we have to. |

Honestly... it depends on the breed. And the guy.
Right now, I would say no to an akita, husky, chow chow, basenji, shiba inu, and a whole horde of other breeds, simply because knowing my past bfs, I would be the one doing all the work. I don't like stubborn breeds. Now, if the guy I was with showed that he has dedication and I had NO doubts that he'd take care of his dog, then he could have whatever he wanted. Now y'all just gotta find me a guy I won't doubt will be dedicated to his pet! LOL

Any dog that comes into the house would be our dog, not his or hers. If I didn't like a particular breed of dog I don't think he'd buy it, and I wouldn't buy one he didn't like either.

:P Just kidding! I'd have 100% no issue with it as long as he's willing to provide 50% of the care. I'm the type of person to where I'll help out and do half of the care even if it isn't mine or partially mine just because I love dogs. As far as expenses, if I'm caring for my dogs on my own salary, he'd have to do the same with his. If he helps me out, I'd match what he helps me with with his dog(s). Luckily, I have a boyfriend who lives at home still and don't have that to worry about at the moment. He likes GSDs, anyways so chances are, it would be another GSD if he got one. He's also more of a cat person, which is okay with me, too because I LOVE and adore cats. |

I don't think I will come across this issue any time soon since we do have the rescue dogs. My and I were talking about getting another personal dog,but I don't we will for a while. He's a animal guy anyway,so I guess that makes it easy for me. We always have plenty of variety coming through here and so that seems to take care of any 'desired breeds' for right now.

Note the episode is no longer available to watch online. Downton Abbey ended with a whisper instead of a bang this season. No shocking car crashes. The biggest surprises of this finale were that Carson had the courage...
