Another day in paradise
I just moved down to Huntington Beach for a new job. It is nice to be back in Sol Cal where I grew up (Venice Beach). Usually the serious profile never seem to be work for me so here goes........Single male seeks double-jointed supermodel who owns a brewery and is independently wealthy. Access to free concert tickets a plus! Well OK maybe i am reaching here a bit but below are my qualities and the type of woman I am seeking.. I am a Professional, educated, well traveled, believe in family values and enjoy physical activities such as biking, canoeing, fishing, hiking, snow skiing and working out in the gym. I do not believe you would be disappointed getting to know me. If you write me an email I will be happy to fill you in on the rest. My ideal match would be as comfortable in dress attire as in jeans. She would have a great sense of humor to keep me smiling. She makes me feel great and together we're able to greet each day with a positive attitude. She is commited, honest, fit and attractive. There is something about her I find exciting and there is enough chemistry and devotion to get us through the tough times. She loves family, the outdoors and adventure as much as the comforts of home.

The games you love to hate
I had some free time last weekend so I decided to revisit Ninja Gaiden on my Xbox. That's what prompted this thread. I want to know what games you all love to hate - ones that have caused you to want to break your keyboards/controllers in frustration, yet at the same time you were incredibly compelled to finish the game.
Ninja Gaiden is by far number 1 on my list. I absolutely abhor this game, but I still want to play because I feel an incredible sense of reward upon completing a level/mission. The fixed camera issues from the first hurricane pack should help alleviate some of the frustration, and I can't wait to get that downloaded.
Far Cry is another game that's on this list. The outstanding graphics and incredible sense of immersion overshadowed the vast amounts of frustration that came from playing, especially in the later levels. Sure, the ending sucked donkey bong, but the game was still worth every last red cent.
So how about you?

Eating Our Way Through New Orleans' Buku Festival

Over the weekend at New Orleans' Buku Music and Art Project, attendees enjoyed a variety of music, art, and food. In between bands, DJ sets, and hip-hop acts, festival-goers could snack on healthy food or the more typically indulgent festival foods. The festival used local and non-local purveyors to feed the young and hungry crowd.
Click here to see our photos from the Buku Music and Art Project.
Piles of meat were on display in front of Efe's Greek Food stand where gyros were being prepared with either lamb, chicken, or falafel, a heartier option for the post-dance fuel up. In typical New Orleans fashion, Chopped champion Fireman Mike's Kitchen offered jambalaya that was, of course, served with fried chicken. The vegetarian red beans and rice were also a delicious option for the non-meat eaters. And for dessert, fried Oreos.
For those looking for a healthier option, City Greens was serving salads and wraps, all made from ingredients grown on their Florida farm. California street food vendors White Guy Pad Thai were making their chicken or tofu pad Thai to order. Another dessert option at the festival was beignets from Beaucoup Beignets, because it's not New Orleans without a beignet.

Hong Kong must kick its bad habit of overconsumption
C. W. Cheung and Allen To say in a world fast running out of resources, Hong Kong will find it more and more difficult to feed its habit of overconsumption. It's time to go on a diet
C. W. Cheung and Allen To
Most Popular
We all know Hong Kong is a materialistic society. As a city, we collectively love acquiring "stuff": clothes, gadgets, accessories … the list is endless. Shopping is the No 1 hobby for many and it's a major pillar of our economy - one need look no further than Causeway Bay on a Friday night to see the evidence.
What is less easy to see is that our consumption habits are damaging the planet. Since the resources we are using - and the damage we are inflicting - are often elsewhere, we can't see the problem.
To begin the necessary process of change, a link needs to be created between our propensity to overconsume and the environmental damage this creates in other parts of the world. Getting people to really see this is a difficult task.
"Show and tell" is not enough, though Hong Kong consumers do need to be shown the consequences of our habits: the deforested areas of Borneo - stripped bare to provide hardwood for furniture and floors that damaged the habitat of the Sumatran tiger; the shrunken Aral Sea - trillions of gallons of its water diverted to produce cotton for the fashion industry which destroyed the fishing livelihood over there; a reduced sea-ice season as a result of climate change that has affected the survival of polar bears; thousands of tonnes of live reef fish harvested from Southeast Asia to supply Hong Kong and the booming mainland market that has depleted regional marine resources.
Let's put our consumption into a quantifiable perspective. The ecological footprint is a measure of how much biologically productive land and sea is required to produce all the resources a city or country consumes and to store its waste. According to our report, Hong Kong has the 26th largest per capita ecological footprint of the 150 places surveyed. If everyone lived the lifestyle we lead, we would need 2.6 earths to fulfil the demand for resources.
"So what?" you may ask, "Hong Kong can afford to import everything we need - we're rich!" And you would be correct - for now. The problem is, since the 1970s, the earth has been in a state of "global overshoot", whereby the planet is renewing its resources at a rate slower than it is losing them.
In Hong Kong, the picture is even worse. We are consuming so much that our "local overshoot" puts us just behind the worst offender in Asia, Singapore.
Global resources are becoming more scarce. It means that, in the near future, we will become vulnerable to fluctuations in commodity prices and supply disruptions that are beyond our control.
This becomes more evident when you consider that six billion out of the seven billion people in the world live in countries where populations demand more than their ecosystem can renew, and all Hong Kong's top 10 trade partners are in ecological deficit to different extents. Basically, in the uncertain world of the future, Hong Kong may not be able to "buy our way out of trouble"; there may not be enough to sell. Will national protectionism take over when resources become scarce?
How did Hong Kong's ecological footprint become so large? One part of the problem is a lack of awareness. We do not realise we are consuming too much - and why would we? We live in a "shoppers' paradise", bombarded by marketing messaging, with almost 24-hour access to shops and restaurants. Temptations and encouragement to spend are all around.
Another part of the problem is Hong Kong's obsession with economic growth: without a healthy quarterly uptick in gross domestic product and an ever-rising Hang Seng index, we feel we are not "succeeding". This trickles down into daily life - most of us buy everything we want, rather than what we need. How can a world satisfy people with greedy wants instead of basic needs?
Added to this landscape is the fact that the government encourages consumption and has been slow to acknowledge the problems created by it - for example, our burgeoning landfill crisis and the reckless ignorance of our marine resources.
We need to challenge the idea that economic growth is the only measure of a society's success. Perpetual growth is impossible: we live on a planet with finite resources. This fact needs to be recognised, accepted and openly discussed.
Awareness-raising, discussion and education are all important components of change, but with something so fundamental as transforming our mindset, from a mentality of overconsumption to one of moderation, people will need to be surrounded by an environment of change.
Ultimately, change needs to come from the top down. The Hong Kong government is drafting its first Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan to comply with the international treaty, the Convention on Biological Diversity. This is a golden opportunity to prioritise sustainability and implement strategies to reduce our ecological footprint. From being one of the worst performers, the city can become Asia's role model. The decision to make sustainability a key performance indicator of economic health is a good start.
To support the government's initiative, business leaders should review the use of natural resources throughout the life cycle of their products and seek to reduce it.
As individuals, we can tackle overconsumption by adopting a more sustainable lifestyle ourselves. Our demand for sustainable products can drive their supply. Such consumption will not deplete the natural capital we are supposed to leave as a legacy. WWF is contributing towards such efforts. For example, it produces a seafood guide to help consumers select and consume sustainable seafood.
Shrinking Hong Kong's ecological footprint and lessening our impact on the earth begins with questioning our propensity to overconsume. This change in mindset will also help us tackle our waste management challenges.
Such a transformation should not be a difficult process for Hong Kong, a fast-moving, quick-thinking city that is able to constantly reinvent itself. The government, businesses and individual citizens should all do their part to ensure future stability for ourselves and our children.

Human ingenuity has achieved great leaps, but it is irresponsible to continue to increase consumption and pollution on the assumption that a later generation will develop a technology fix it. This generation must plan within the technology we have, and that indicates we need to drastically reduce consumption and alter our economy to one that is not a ponzi scheme that requires compound growth to survive.
"Global resources are becoming more scarce. " Really? Global scare mongers have been peddling this line for 100s of years. They're always wrong. They only get close when human innovation stagnates. Resources are only finite at a static level of technology. Develop new technology to extract resource in new ways and the inventory of potential resources grows. This is why the enviros have been wrong for so long.
1. Make playground and basket-court at schools available to public after school hours.
2. Make shopping malls avail areas free for public recreation use.
3. Speedup waterfronts available for public use.
4. Convert the Central Market into a neighborhood library.
5. Convert the Central Police Headquarters and Victoria Prison as a museum.
6. No property developments at the Kowloon West landfill. Build an urban park in its entirty.
Last and not the least, WWF should stop treating Hong Kong people ignorant of eco-living. Bookish lecture is superfluous but real actions are plentifully in short supply. So good luck with your new direction.
To save Hong Kong, don't boost Hong Kong for what really it is not.

I'm very happy we bought this oven. It's a great value and works perfectly. Surprisingly, the interior is noticeably larger than the KitchenAid it replaced, even though the exterior has the same dimensions.IMPORTANT NOTE ON NOISE LEVEL: I was a little wary of purchasing this because of the complaints about the noise. When I dug a little deeper, I saw that all the ovens had noise level complaints, so I went ahead ... and I'm glad I did. But let me set the record straight about the volume. While operating--even when not on the convection setting--you hear a fan. It sounds rather like a strong whistle-y wind coming from outside your house. So it's certainly noticeable, but not troubling, as far as I'm concerned. You don't have to raise your voice to be heard over it. (And it's definitely quieter than my maddening oven exhaust fan.) Also note that the fan continues to run for 30 minutes after the oven is turned off.

Ease of operation

from Parker, Colorado
I had not ever owned a Whirlpool oven and now I don't think I'd want to own anything else! Very easy to use, even temperatures and fast.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Love This Double Oven
By Kelly
from Spokane, WA
I have had this in my newly remodeled kitchen for about 3 months now. I love how easy it is to operate. So far I have only used some of the basic functions and everything works as expected. The even baking is a treat. The only negative for us is the vent noise during cool down. We have not had a dinner party yet, but seems like it will be annoying when sitting down with friends. The solution we have come up with which works well is to simply leave the oven door ajar just a bit and that seems to allow the oven to cool down sooner and the vent to shut off. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.
Unbelievably Noisey
By Oven Disappointment
from Denver, CO
This purchase was a HUGE disappointment and mistake! When our Whirlpool microwave went out, we decided to buy all new appliances to have a matching set. Our 14-year old Whirlpool wall oven was extremely quiet and never required repair. The fan on our new wall oven is terribly noisy and sounds like the convection fan is running. There is a constant high pitch buzzing noise that makes it almost impossible to be in the kitchen while the oven is running. Consider purchasing another brand of wall oven until Whirlpool addresses this design flaw.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Bakes great
By txgirlatlrg
from Kansas City, KS, United States
I have only had this oven for less than a month, but so far this oven has been great! Cookies, muffins, and pizza all have an even browning to them, it keeps temperature well, and bakes within the recommended times. It bakes evenly in both ovens in the bake and convection mode of the top oven. My only complaint is the fan. It runs in both conventional and convection mode and both ovens. It is kind of loud and will be noticed in an open concept home. An improvement would be to have the option to turn off the fan at times or provide some type of baffling similar to those used for dishwashers if that's possible. The look of the ovens is very sleek and it has low profile handles that are not obtrusive.I only gave 4 stars for the quality not because of a problem, but because I have not had the oven long enough to say it's without problems.

About Me Avid Cook
While we have only been using for just over a month and not on a daily basis, cooking/baking in this unit is a breeze. Used steam clean feature after having some over-spray fro the Easter ham and was not impressed. barely cleaned a thing. Switched to the "precise" cleaning method and, while stinky and lengthy timeframe, results were great - with the exception of the door which still needed to be cleaned by hand. Looking forward to many years of continued use. Too bad we recently learned that this unit is no longer available for purchase. Would have loved to spread the word.

This double oven was installed by the builder when we built our new home. It is the worst quality appliance I have EVER owned. I can't count the number of times I have had meals ruined and had to call for repair because it would not maintain cooking temperature. After numerous repairs for the same issue, the oven was replaced. What a waste because the replaced oven is no better than the original unit. My husband & I have decided we will just toss it to the curb and buy a different brand. After doing some research, it WILL NOT be Whirlpool!!

Home Depot Sells $2 Billion of Debt to Build Cash, Buy Stock
March 28 (Bloomberg) -- Home Depot Inc., the largest U.S. home-improvement retailer, returned to the corporate bond market for the second time in less than seven months to rebuild its cash stockpile and finance share buybacks.
The company sold $2 billion of 10- and 30-year bonds, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Home Depot will use proceeds to replace $1 billion of 5.2 percent notes issued in 2006 that matured March 1 and to buy its own stock, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings boosted their outlooks on Atlanta-based Home Depot to positive last week, citing improved earnings amid a strengthening economic recovery. Returns on the company's debt trail the investment-grade corporate bond market while its shares have outperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 this month through March 25.
"Perhaps it is planning to accelerate its share buybacks for the year as it no doubt views its shares as undervalued," said Carol Levenson, director of research at Gimme Credit LLC in Chicago, in an e-mail. Selling the debt to raise money for stock purchases "seems very bondholder unfriendly to us," she wrote in a note to clients today.
Stock Repurchases
Home Depot may use as much as $2.5 billion of cash to repurchase additional shares this year, following $2.6 billion in buybacks in 2010, said Ted Decker, senior vice president of retail finance, on March 7 at an investor conference. The company plans to increase its 25-cent-a-share quarterly dividend every year, Decker said.
Ron DeFeo, a Home Depot spokesman, declined to comment on the bond offering beyond the SEC filing.
The sale included $1 billion of 4.4 percent notes due April 2021 that yield 97 basis points more than similar-maturity Treasuries and $1 billion of 5.95 percent bonds maturing in April 2041 that pay a 147 basis-point spread, Bloomberg data show. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.
Moody's changed the retailer's outlook to positive on March 25, citing the "expectation that the size of Home Depot's remaining share authorization will shrink over the near term," it said in a statement. Fitch said its outlook for the company was positive in a March 24 statement.
Moody's affirmed its Baa1 rating on Home Depot. Standard & Poor's assigned the notes an equivalent rank of BBB+, according to a statement today. Fitch also rated the notes BBB+.
'It Makes Sense'
"This is a company that can afford to do a little bit of share repurchases without causing a lot of concern," said Joscelyn MacKay, a credit analyst at Morningstar Inc. in Chicago. "With the consensus view being that rates are going to go up, it makes sense that they're trying to come to market before that window closes."
Bank of America Corp., Credit Suisse Group AG, Deutsche Bank AG, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., and JPMorgan Chase & Co. managed the sale, Bloomberg data show.
The retailer last sold debt on Sept. 7, when it issued $500 million of 3.95 percent, 10-year notes that yielded 135 basis points more than similar-maturity Treasuries and the same amount of 5.4 percent, 30-year bonds that paid a 175-basis points spread, Bloomberg data show.
The notes due September 2020 traded March 25 at 97.83 cents on the dollar, yielding 4.23 percent and paying a 78.3 basis-point spread, according to Trace, the bond price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The September 2040 issue traded at 93.98, yielding 5.83 percent and paying a 131.2 basis-point spread, Trace data show.
The company's bonds have lost 0.67 percent this month, compared with a 0.02 percent gain for U.S. investment-grade corporate debt through March 25, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data. Home Depot's stock lost 0.13 percent, versus a 1 percent decline in the S&P 500 over the same period.
As of Jan. 30, Home Depot had $9.7 billion of debt outstanding, Fitch said.

Solid little pack
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Great pack for in-bounds skiing or light loads. Back zipper access is awesome, especially when the pack is loaded. On the flip side of that, the zipper can be of some annoyance as it does not fit flush into the pack. I would be weary if you are tall, I am 6'4 and the pack is not an ideal fit, although it is a OSFA pack so you should not expect it to be perfect.

LOOKING FOR THE ANGOLA SETTLEMENT - Radioactivity
Excavations to pinpoint the location of an 1800ââ¬â¢s black settlement located along the Manatee River are now underway for the first time. A state historic preservation grant helped to jumpstart a yearlong search for the early black community known as Angola. While field tests are conducted to uncover evidence about a story missing out of the pages of history, a cadre of historians, archaeologists and anthropologists will present talks to the public about the significance of the Angola community comprised of free blacks, escaped slaves and Seminoles. Our guests are part of the exploration team: Dr. Uzi Baram, Anthropologist/Archaeologist at New College and Vickie Oldham is a documentary producer in Manatee County who is credited with reviving interest to search for this lost settlement.comments powered by Disqus

Additional Complaint Information
BBB files indicates this business has a pattern of complaints concerning sales and delivery, customer service, and refund issues. A more complete description of complaints follows.
Sales and Delivery
Business owners allege that after purchasing and paying (ranging from $150 - $950) for advertising space on t-shirts (to be distributed to local schools and colleges), the company failed to provide them with their sample t-shirts and failed to distribute the advertising t-shirts to the schools as promised. In other complaints, business owners complain about significant delays in the distribution of the t-shirts. Specifically, consumers report they purchased advertising on t-shirts which were to be distributed during high school football season. After the shirts did not appear as scheduled, business owners contacted Jam Sports for a status update. According to complaints, Jam Sports typically cites an inability to obtain enough advertisers to fill the space as the reason for the delay. Consumers are then assured the shirts will be distributed during the baseball season. Despite company assurances, many businesses wait nearly a year or more without shirts being distributed. Falsely claiming affiliation with the local high school or college is another issue frequently cited against Jam Sports Marketing. In several complaints, business owners report making contact with the school about the whereabouts of the t-shirts only to find the school had no knowledge of Jam Sports and had never agreed to the advertising venture.
Customer Service
Consumers report extreme difficulty reaching Jam Sports representatives to inquire about the whereabouts of their t-shirts. Customers report an inability to reach company representatives by telephone, email, or US Mail. Neither voicemail nor email messages are returned.
Refund Issues
In situations where refunds are demanded, Jam Sports states it will mail a refund check. However, customers report the money was never received as promised.
The company has responded to and resolved some complaints, while others remain unanswered or unresolved. Company responses to complaints typically provide no explanation or attempt to refute the complaint allegations. The responses usually state that the company either has or will refund the consumer.
The BBB offered to meet with the company on several occasions to discuss these issues. Per the company response, "due to unforeseen business circumstances", the meetings have not taken place.

Infinity Blade takes $30 million slice
These days it seems even toaster ovens ship with Angry Birds installed. Thereupon, there are mobile time wasters and then there's Epic's game changing title that's only available on the iPhone and iPad, which marries truly stunning 3D graphics and innovative player interaction — quite naturally, Infinity Blade is bringing home to booty as a result.
When Epic first demo'd it onstage for then CEO Steve Jobs and an unsuspecting world, people were rightly amazed yet not a little skeptical — no game could look and play that well on a phone.
The rubber met the road in December 2011 when it shipped, resetting the bar for mobile 3D engagement and sales.
Now, a little more than a year later, Epic has announced the franchise has surpassed $30 million in sales. The total includes receipts from Infinity Blade 1 and 2, and Infinity Blade: Awakening, a digital novella, the original soundtrack, and Infinity Blade FX, an arcade version of the title.
According to the Wikipedia, more than $23 million of that via the iOS App Store — wow.
"We have so much more in store for players, and will continue to make great content for Apple's evolving platforms," said Epic Games President Dr. Michael Capps.
Infinity Blade II ($5.99) is designed to run on both iPhone and iPad — buy it once and play it on all of your Apple devices (iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 3rd generation or later; any iPad). This game is truly beautiful and sets the standard for touch-based combat…

The NHL's presentation of Trading Places: Behind the Benches debuts Thursday night with Alain Vigneault's Rangers hooking up with John Tortorella's Canucks. But while this unique matchup will attract a disproportionate amount of attention across the continent the Blueshirts have way too much unfinished business to complete in this preseason to be concerned with proving a point to anyone on the other side. And Vigneault has way too many decisions remaining to be concerned with the guys wearing the home uniform whom he coached the previous seven years. The fact of the matter is the Rangers have looked pretty lousy going 1-3 through their first four exhibition matches. They've been at least as disjointed as one would expect operating under this senseless training camp schedule filled with travel and back-to-back games the final set of which concludes with a match in Las Vegas against the Kings on Friday. The impasse with Derek Stepan is reaching the point of danger. Already without ...

1996 Nissan Sentra Q&A
1996 Nissan Sentra Question: Crankshaft sensor replacement inquiry
I see a comment in the common failure locations of this website that the crankshaft sensor can fail and cause the car to idle very low and / or shut off. I am thinking this is whats causing my car to intermitently shut down when I amd at a standing idle. My question is do I have to reset/set the timing on the car when I replace this component in my distributor? It appears I might if I disassemble and replace this crankshaft sensor. Please advise and thank you! - Rocketman_zoom
Answer 1
Yes, you will have to reset the timing, but just use a punch to mark the spot where the distributor is now and then you will be very close. On Nissan, in order to re-set the timing, you have to disconnect the Throttle Position Sensor while the car is idling and warmed up, usually the Brown one ( on auto trans models there are 2 ). Then once the timing is re-set to spec ( look at your under hood label ( it is either 15 or 20 degrees ), you have to reconnect the Throttle Position Sensor. - dandd

By Mark Bern, CPA CFA
In Part 2 of this series I provided a brief summary of Part I, my thoughts on diversifying into investments denominated in other than the US dollar, and four defensive, equity-income offerings. In this article I intend to provide my thoughts about using precious metals and/or commodity-based equities for hedging purposes as well as the next four defensive, equity-income offerings of the series. Part 1 included an overview of what I intended to accomplish with this series, why I decided to write these articles now, and the first four equity-income offerings.
I am not a gold bug, but I wish I could have said I was starting a decade ago. I've never caught the fever for investing a disproportionate amount of my portfolio into something that does not pay interest or dividends. But I do own a relatively small amount of silver in small denominations. I prefer junk silver coins because the silver content is evident and I can buy them for very little or no premium over spot prices. Why do I choose silver over gold? It's a personal preference, because I hold precious metal for two reasons: a hedge against inflation and the very long shot that social unrest and/or another greater financial crisis create a temporary disruption in our traditional economic transactions processing system. I like small denominations because I don't want to ask for change in emergencies for an ounce of gold that may have a value of $2,000 or more. Gold may be a great store of value over time, but it wouldn't work as currency when I want a loaf of bread and some milk. I don't really expect a crisis of that proportion to occur, but if it does, I'll have what I need to get me through a few months.
The other, more practical reason I like silver over gold is two-fold as well: the historical gold/silver ratio is telling me that gold is over-valued relative to silver or that silver is under-valued relative to gold; silver, while still abundant, has a growing number of industrial uses. Silver is not just jewelry. It gets used and discarded more often than gold. Nearly all the gold ever mined is still in existence today. That is not the case for silver; silver is consumed and eventually, as demand continues to grow and supply of easy-to-mine sources dwindles, the price will be forced higher by normal supply/demand relationships.
Some would say that it is nearing that point already, but I'm not buying that story yet. Peak silver, in my opinion, will play out in a fashion similar to peak oil. When it seems that we're going to see demand exceeds supply, miraculously exploration companies locate new reserves that are more costly to recover, but there just the same. There are hard to reach areas of the globe that haven't been explored yet. If the price increases enough and there is evidence that demand will keep continue to increase even with prices at elevated levels, I fully expect that new, more costly silver reserves will be located and mined to meet demand. Gold prices are driven more by psychological concepts. I prefer prices driven by demand.
In the comments for Part II it was suggested that oil might be a better commodity to invest in than precious metals because investors can purchase equity shares in oil companies and earn dividends. Well, I have no problem with that. As a matter of fact I agree with that concept for the inflation side of the equation. But that doesn't address the other, albeit long-shot, possibility that social unrest and/or another greater financial crisis create a temporary disruption to transaction processing. Having some cash on hand might solve that problem and it might not. Plastic cards for credit or debit could be worthless for a time. Withdrawals from the bank or credit union will be impossible.
We were actually very close to such a scenario in 2008, when large electronic runs on money market accounts almost caused a panic. Fortunately the Treasury and Fed officials recognized the potential threat and, within hours, announced an increase in the federally insured maximum balance for each account from $100,000 to $250,000. That move quelled the run. People with more than $100,000 in each account were scrambling to reduce their balances to less than $100,000 fearing more failures when Lehman fell.
My point here is that we came much closer to the edge than the majority of investors realize, and the potential contagion from Europe could be much greater than officials are willing to admit. Thus, we could be closer to the edge than we think we are, and nobody knows for sure. I certainly don't, and I'm pretty sure that those who say they do know are only listening to those sources with which they agree. Isn't that always the case?
I'm not trying to scare anyone here with claims of doom and gloom. I'm actually on the side of the fence that believes that the worst that will happen can be contained and accommodations will be made to keep Europe from falling off the cliff and taking us with it. But I don't want to be caught with my pants down, either. So, all I'm recommending is that investors be prepared for the worst, just in case, with some small portion of their savings.
Now, I'd like to get back to oil versus silver for a moment, because I left something out. I can't spend oil shares. I can't even spend precious metals mining shares. I should be able to spend cash, but I know that sticking it under the mattress will surely loose me money due to inflation. So, I hold a little silver in coins for the very long term with the expectation that eventually future supply/demand imbalances will support sustainable price increases without the fear of inflation and that if inflation does occur I will also have some additional protection. Plus, in a pinch, I can spend the stuff if necessary. Nothing is perfect, but this suits me and it covers all my bases as long as I don't go wild and buy too much. Too much of any single asset increases the overall risk of a portfolio.
My first equity offering is designed to bolster the portfolio income: Annaly Capital (NYSE:NLY), a mortgage REIT that currently touts a dividend yield of 13.9%. I added this company to the list because of the recent announcement by the Federal Reserve that short-term interested rates are likely to remain near 0% through all of 2014. The announcement, of course, is an attempt to drive perceptions and could be changed at any time should inflation rear its ugly head. But with a recession in Europe becoming almost a sure thing and slowing growth on a global scale, even in emerging countries, the likelihood of inflation getting out of hand for the foreseeable future is relatively small.
The wild card, of course, is if the Fed decides that more quantitative easing is necessary or if it decides to help bail out Europe with massive loans. The Fed has overstepped its mandate before, and I believe that current leadership may be willing to do so again if it deems necessary to mitigate another global financial crisis. Again, this is purely speculation on my part, but there is little left that could surprise me anymore. I don't expect much, if any appreciation from NLY, but do expect that even with Operation Twist narrowing margins somewhat the dividends should remain above 10% through 2013 and into 2014. You will find a more detailed report on NLY here.

My second equity offering is TECO Energy (NYSE:TE), a regulated electric utility based in Tampa, Florida that also has a coal mining operation (unregulated). The current dividend yield is 4.8%, well above the average in the electric utility industry and more than doubles the average yield of the S&P 500. TECO has a solid balance sheet and despite the problems in housing around the state the company fared will throughout the recession. The company trades at a bit of a premium to the industry but for good reason. Expectations are for earnings growth to top 10% on average over the next few years due to increases in coal prices, expanded coal production, and increased demand for electricity in an area with a growing population.
The company recently discovered a new deposit of metallurgical coal beneath its existing reserves and intends to produce about 2 million tons a year from the new reserves beginning in 2014. Met coal commands higher prices for its use in making steel. Also a single, large coal contract that has remained underpriced until renegotiated recently will increase the bottom line by about $24 million a year beginning in 2012. The company is poised to grow nearly twice as fast as the average electric utility and I expect higher than average dividend increases as well.
Div. / Share
My next offering is Chevron (NYSE:CVX), the fourth largest oil company in the world based upon proven reserves. The current dividend yields 3.0% and the trailing 12-month P/E ratio is 7.9. The company recently reported a positive earnings surprise with EPS rising 74% over 3rd quarter result of 2010 and about 30% higher than street expectations. CVX has increased its dividend every year for 24 consecutive years. Earnings could level off for the next year unless the average price of oil increases from current levels near $100 per barrel. I expect that by 2013 the average price of oil will again reach higher levels with the overall trend remaining intact even though there are likely to be some relatively wide swings. We are that many years away from an average price per barrel closer to $125. Gradual improving global demand for energy will favor this well-managed, quality company with sustainable growth opportunities. Find more detailed reports on CVX, XOM and other oil companies with rising dividends here.

My final equity offering is Walgreen (WAG), the largest drug retail chain in the U.S. by sales and number of stores (CVS has more total revenue, including its PBM business, but less from retail and fewer stores). The loss of its relationship with Express Scripts has done three things: caused management to cut expenses to make up for the lost revenue, is likely to result in higher margins on the remaining sales, and has caused the stock's price to drop nearly 25% providing ample cushion and a good entry point.
The bad news is already in this stock, in my opinion, and the best part is that the profit lost will not be as great as the revenue lost due to very slim margins on the Express Scripts business. Now the company is free to go after corporate clients traditionally served through the former ESRX relationship without having to share the revenue. For many of those prospective clients the loss of access to WAG pharmacies for their employees will not be acceptable. I expect WAG to claw back a portion of the lost business at higher margins.
Also, WAG derives higher margins from generic drug sales than from branded sales. The next two years will see some very prodigious opportunities due to many major branded drugs coming off patent. The effects of the recession on WAG earnings per share were minimal as I would expect since people still need to fill their prescriptions. The dividend currently yields 2.6% and has been increased in every year for 36 consecutive years.

love. love. love. I have high end bronzer that are not as nice as this so that being said the price is great. This powder is finely milled. This subtly enhances my light freckled skin tone with a warm semi-matte glow. You never have to worry about look overly made up with this product. This gives a soft satin glow but very subtly which makes it look like your glowing from within and can be applied all over the face and still look natural. This particular color is perfectly neutral sort of like a medium beige color-which makes it hard to over due. not orange at all. Love the color, love the finish, love the price, packaging is slightly annoying a clunky.

I picked this fantastic bronzer in the light-meduim shade. The quality is very nice for a drug store product. The application is simple enough- I use a large stippling brush and sweep the bronzer lightly all over my face on the areas tthe sun would touch. I then dip the brush in for extra product and focus on my cheeks. The pigmentation is wonderful, not too orangey at all. There is a bit of shimmer but it is a lovely classy grown up shimmer. I have been rocking this bronzer out with a bright strong lip Rebel or Show Orchid by MAC, and a a sweep of nylon eyeshadow and mascara for the Gods on my gorgeous full long lashes!

I owned this and did use it up, but there are better bronzers out there and I'm willing to pay a pretty penny for a good one. I think I bought it because I liked the fat brown compact honestly. Plus it was like ten bucks, so not earth-shattering if it was a fail. It was okay/meh, and I think if you don't want to invest a lot of cash in a bronzer then this is a good option. I will most likely not repurchase, but not because it's low quality. I just like a more high end bronzer.

You kids on MUA are real sharpies.. lol
I had this in my stash and had not even tried it yet.. until I saw it on here. I have a tendency to sometimes buy based on gut instinct and this is one of those purchases.
I love to be proved .. right or wrong doesn't matter. I think this product deserves a better rating.. it is excellent and I am comparing to Chanel Les Beiges -- I have that in the #30 and #10. I did waste money on those as I can see more of a bronzing -sculpting effect with this product.
I am digging out my PF products and find the quality of the products is excellent. I am seriously considering depotting as the containers are clunky and the brushes a disaster..
this product is very worth it for me as it is not flat matte nor orange in any way. It looks great with pink blush combo as on me it seems a bit more bronzed-greyed, like a sculpt. My winter skin is NC15 for reference.
there is a lot of value in the PF products.. I am loving them.

Additional Information on Travaglini Gattinara Tre Vigne 2008
Vintage: 2008
2008 saw very high yields across wineries in much of the southern hemisphere, as a result of highly favorable climatic conditions. Although in many areas, these high yields brought with them something of a drop in overall quality, this could not be said for South Australia's wines, which were reportedly excellent. Indeed, the 2008 Shiraz harvest in South Australia is said to be one of the most successful in recent decades, and western Australia's Chardonnays are set to be ones to watch out for. New Zealand's Pinot Noir harvest was also very good, with wineries in Martinborough reportedly very excited about this particular grape and the characteristics it revealed this year. Pinot Noir also grew very well in the United States, and was probably the most successful grape varietal to come out of California in 2008, with Sonoma Coast and Anderson Valley delivering fantastic results from this grape. Elsewhere in United States, Washington State and Oregon had highly successful harvests in 2008 despite some early worries about frost. However, it was France who had the best of the weather and growing conditions in 2008, and this year was one of the great vintages for Champagne, the Médoc in Bordeaux, Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence, with Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes leading the way. Italy, too, shared many of these ideal conditions, with the wineries in Tuscany claiming that their Chianti Classicos of 2008 will be ones to collect, and Piedmont's Barberesco and Barolo wines will be recognized as amongst the finest of the past decade.
Varietal: Nebbiolo
The dusty purple grapes of the Nebbiolo variety are widely considered to be amongst the finest in the world, and hold many unique characteristics which have secured their place in wine making history. Indeed, almost all of the most respected and sought after red wines of Italy are made using this grape varietal, and it wasn't long before several New World wineries started experimenting with the fruit of this special vine, too. Nebbiolo grapes are renowned for their ability to age beautifully, with their strong and dense tannins mellowing out and becoming more balanced inside the oak. Alongside this, they hold some of the most complex and exciting flavors to be found in any grape, which range from gorgeous notes of black truffle, to aromatic violets and tobacco tones.
Region: Piedmont
For hundreds of years, the beautiful alpine region of Piedmont in north-west Italy has been producing excellent quality red wines, and some of the most characterful sparkling white wines to have ever come out of the Old World. The region is dominated by the mighty Alps which form the border between Italy, France and Switzerland, and the Moscato grapes that are grown in the foothills of this mountain range carry much of the Alps' flavors in their fruit, and are fed by crystal clear mountain waters. However, it is the Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera grapes which are the real stars of this region, and the highly respected wineries which cover much of Piedmont have generations of experience when it comes to processing and aging these grape varietals to produce the superb wines which come out of appellations such as Barolo and Barberesco.
Country: Italy
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.
