Has housing bottomed? For real?
The question has special significance because the consensus economic forecast assumes improvement in this sector. This week's economic data include the most important reports on the housing market. The FOMC minutes will also provide insight into Fed policy on the purchase of mortgage securities. With Congress on an extended President's Day recess, I expect housing to be the theme of the week.
The Background Evidence
On the positive side there is the evidence of the market. The iShares Dow Jones Homebuilder Index shows the dramatic rally since June, 2012 – about 85%. The gains have been supported by commentary from executives at the major industry leaders and the top real estate publications. For many, it creates a sense of déjà vu.
[Related -Tackling China's Debt Problem: Can Debt-Equity Conversions Help?]
Some pundits have called this quite accurately, including Schwab's Liz Ann Sonders. In an interview with TheStreet.com she opines that we are still in the first inning.
On the negative side we have Yale Professor Robert Shiller, widely acclaimed for predicting the housing bubble. Dr. Shiller is also the co-founder of a licensed home price index and also a sector based ETN using his methods.
In two recent interviews he makes the case for caution.
[Related -Will Job Growth Kill The Bear-Market Signal For Stocks?]
Overall optimism is too premature. In an interview with Henry Blodget at Business Insider, Dr. Shiller carefully distinguishes himself from an unnamed "perma-bear guy." Here is a key response:
Blodget: So what is your sense of the next five years? Do you think we've hit bottom in the housing market or do you have to stratify it that way?
Shiller: I think that we might have (hit bottom), but my biggest sense is that probably nothing dramatic happens either way. If the Pulsenomics survey is right, and it's up between 1 and 2 percent real, that's plausible to me. But also down 1 or 2 percent real, that's plausible. I'm sorry I don't have a more precise forecast.
Which approach is more plausible? Has housing bottomed? What does the answer mean for the individual investor? As usual, I have some thoughts on this question which I'll report in the conclusion. First, let us do our regular update of last week's news and data.
Background on "Weighing the Week Ahead"
There are many good lists of upcoming events. One source I especially like is the weekly post from the WSJ's Market Beat blog. There is a nice combination of data, speeches, and other events.
In contrast, I highlight a smaller group of events. My theme is an expert guess about what we will be watching on TV and reading in the mainstream media. It is a focus on what I think is important for my trading and client portfolios.
This is unlike my other articles at "A Dash" where I develop a focused, logical argument with supporting data on a single theme. Here I am simply sharing my conclusions. Sometimes these are topics that I have already written about, and others are on my agenda. I am putting the news in context.
Readers often disagree with my conclusions. Do not be bashful. Join in and comment about what we should expect in the days ahead. This weekly piece emphasizes my opinions about what is really important and how to put the news in context. I have had great success with my approach, but feel free to disagree. That is what makes a market!
Last Week's Data
Each week I break down events into good and bad. Often there is "ugly" and on rare occasion something really good. My working definition of "good" has two components:
The Good
This was a good week, both for data and for earnings.
Michigan sentiment posted a solid rebound. Here is my favorite chart of this indicator via Doug Short:
The Bad
There was some bad news, especially on the political front.
The Ugly
Suspicious trading in Heinz options suggests that someone had advance information. A level playing field is important for investor confidence, so this deserves SEC attention. Paul Vigna's story reports how the SEC is freezing the Swiss trading accounts involved and also acting to determine who is involved.
The Indicator Snapshot
It is important to keep the current news in perspective. My weekly snapshot includes the most important summary indicators:
The SLFSI reports with a one-week lag. This means that the reported values do not include last week's market action. The SLFSI has moved a lot lower, and is now out of the trigger range of my pre-determined risk alarm. This is an excellent tool for managing risk objectively, and it has suggested the need for more caution. Before implementing this indicator our team did extensive research, discovering a "warning range" that deserves respect. We identified a reading of 1.1 or higher as a place to consider reducing positions.
The SLFSI is not a market-timing tool, since it does not attempt to predict how people will interpret events. It uses data, mostly from credit markets, to reach an objective risk assessment. The biggest profits come from going all-in when risk is high on this indicator, but so do the biggest losses.
The C-Score is a weekly interpretation of the best recession indicator I found, Bob Dieli's "aggregate spread." I have now added a series of videos, where Dr. Dieli explains the rationale for his indicator and how it applied in each recession since the 50's. I have organized this so that you can pick a particular recession and see the discussion for that case. Those who are skeptics about the method should start by reviewing the video for that recession. Anyone who spends some time with this will learn a great deal about the history of recessions from a veteran observer.
I have promised another installment on how I use Bob's information to improve investing. I hope to have that soon. Anyone watching the videos will quickly learn that the aggregate spread (and the C Score) provides an early warning. Bob also has a collection of coincident indicators and is always questioning his own methods.
I also feature RecessionAlert, which combines a variety of different methods, including the ECRI, in developing a Super Index. They offer a free sample report. Anyone following them over the last year would have had useful and profitable guidance on the economy. RecessionAlert has developed a comprehensive package of economic forecasting and market indicators. I will try to do a more complete review soon. Dwaine Van Vuuren also has an excellent data update, demonstrating how the coincident data have reduced recession prospects.
Doug Short has excellent continuing coverageof the ECRI recession prediction, now well over a year old. Doug updates all of the official indicators used by the NBER and also has a helpful list of articles about recession forecasting. His latest comment points out that the public data series has not been helpful or consistent with the announced ECRI posture. Doug also continues to refresh the best chart update of the major indicators used by the NBER in recession dating.
The average investor has lost track of this long ago, and that is unfortunate. The original ECRI claim and the supporting public data was expensive for many. The reason that I track this weekly is that it is important for corporate earnings and for stock prices. It has been worth the effort for me, and for anyone reading each week.
Readers might also want to review my Recession Resource Page, which explains many of the concepts people get wrong.
Our "Felix" model is the basis for our "official" vote in the weekly Ticker Sense Blogger Sentiment Poll. We have a long public record for these positions. About a month ago we switched to a bullish position. These are one-month forecasts for the poll, but Felix has a three-week horizon. Felix's ratings stabilized at a low level and improved significantly over the last few weeks. The penalty box percentage measures our confidence in the forecast. A high rating means that most ETFs are in the penalty box, so we have less confidence in the overall ratings. That measure remains elevated, so we have less confidence in short-term trading.
(For more on the penalty box see this article. For more on the system ratings, you can write to etf at newarc dot com for our free report package or to be added to the (free) weekly ETF email list. You can also write personally to me with questions or comments, and I'll do my best to answer.)
The Week Ahead
This abbreviated trading week brings some interesting data.
The "A List" includes the following:
The "B List" includes the following:
It is the open period between Fed meetings, so there will be plenty of speeches, especially on Thursday.
Trading Time Frame
Felix has continued a bullish posture, now fully reflected in trading accounts. It was a close call for several weeks. Felix did pretty well last year, becoming more aggressive in a timely fashion, near the start of the summer rally, and getting out a couple of months ago. Since we only require three buyable sectors, the trading accounts look for the "bull market somewhere" even when the overall picture is neutral. Felix has been cautious, but still has caught most of the rally, and done so with less risk.
Investor Time Frame
Each week I think about the market from the perspective of different participants. The right move often depends upon your time frame and risk tolerance.
Prof. James Hamilton has a great post explaining your choices: "The question is maybe not what is a good investment right now, but instead what is the least bad investment." He writes further as follows:
But what else are you going to do? Low as the dividend yield is on stocks at the moment (2.04%) , it's still better than what you can get on a 10-year U.S. Treasury bond. Moreover, any inflation in the prices of the goods and services that firms sell, as well as any profit gains associated with a larger market, should boost those dividends over time, whereas inflation would continue to erode what you make on the Treasury. Or you might look at a Treasury Inflation Protected Security, whose coupon will rise with the headline CPI. That's currently yielding a hefty -0.57%. Anybody want to sign up for that 10-year plan?
High-yield bonds are dangerous, partly because of the stampede for yield. (Formerly referred to in my series merely as the Quest for Yield). David Schawel (in an article highlighted for us all by Abnormal Returns), writes as follows:
Greater price risk now exists: The devil is always in the details, and price is an important risk that most corporate bond investors, in my opinion, are overlooking.
Gold is currently on a "sell signal" according to Georg Vrba, whose technical model follows the Coppock indicator.
The last sell signal was at the end of November 2012 and no new buy signal has so far appeared. What is needed now for an early buy signal is a sustained upward move of the gold price to over $1,700 during the next few weeks, something which is certainly not outside the bounds of probability.
Meanwhile, we have continuing "headline risk." Buying stocks in times of fear is easy to say, but so difficult to implement. The big-shot experts on TV are calling you the dumb money, even when you have been right! (in case you missed it, see this discussion).
Almost everyone I talk with wants to out-guess the market. The problem? Value is more readily determined than price! Individual investors too frequently try to imitate traders, guessing whether to be "all in" or "all out." For many, the big shift is on.
Scott Grannis provides a useful chart of fund flows and writes as follows:
This follows six years during which equity funds experienced huge and almost relentless outflows. Has the tide finally turned? Are investors now finally becoming bullish after four years of strong equity gains? Perhaps, but if this is the beginning of the return of bullish sentiment, it likely has a long way to go before it runs out of gas.
This can all seem confusing for the individual investor. To help, I have collected some of my recent recommendations in a new investor resource page -- a starting point for the long-term investor. (Comments and suggestions welcome. I am trying to be helpful and I love feedback).
Final Thought
Do we have a bottom in housing? This type of question is very dangerous. It raises a topic that we all think we know about and we all have an opinion. We are tempted to substitute what we see in our neighborhoods (relevant but not decisive) for actual data. Things are looking pretty good in my town, but I would like to know more. I recognize that I am not an expert on housing. I am an informed consumer of the reports of housing experts. So are you, whether you realize it or not!
When I look for expertise, I have three paramount thoughts:
I have occasionally been accused of credentialism in favor of academics and degrees. I object, since I seek the best information from all sources. Sometimes this means that I regard the world's leading experts on monetary policy at the zero bound as superior to some bloggers who are "self-taught in Austrian economics" (the most dangerous words in the investment lexicon). On this occasion I suggest that Dr. Shiller is failing on all three counts. His work is solid by academic standards, but it is much too slow to change and essentially not profitable for investors.
John Paulson was timely in spotting the housing risk. He has a new viewpoint.
Bill McBride at the Calculated Risk blog earned the respect of everyone, including leading economists. This recent feature in the Los Angeles Times tells you what you need to know.
From our perspective, he meets the key tests:
Investment Conclusion
The housing stocks are too rich for me, although we have sometimes held ETF positions in the Felix portfolio. My current focus is on the implication for the overall economy. The story continues to be both important and positive. Housing has been a multi-year subtraction from the economy. Even a modest rate of growth represents a major change with implications for consumers and employment. This helps to explain the spending and sentiment strength, even in the face of the payroll tax change.

Settling back into life in Jersey has been a bit like déjà vu...again. How quickly I had forgotten all of the mundane tasks and items that have to be sorted when you move, and, in our case, much of it has revolved around getting our vehicle operational. This morning, bright and early, I drove Trey over to the Philly airport for a weekend trip down to Atlanta where our car lived over the last two years. Yesterday we got the new car registration and license plates. However, matters are slightly complicated by the fact that both of our driver's licenses and the car's title still have our OLD New Jersey address. This meant that the NEW registration would have to be put in the OLD address. More things to sort. I also forgot about getting the car inspected. Another item to add to the list. We have 14 days from yesterday to get that taken care of. The good news is that in the two years we've been gone our insurance costs have come down significantly. Who would've expected that? We have also now re-emerged from the 16th century into the 21st by getting cell phones...two at that. The lady looked at my slightly quizzically when I told her I was an old fashioned girl and didn't need texting and internet capabilities. Those of you who know me well know how anti-texting I am, a topic for another day.
In the meantime, we have a lovely weekend planned. Pedis tonight for my sister and me. Both she and my mom are off work tomorrow. Then Saturday we're all heading down the shore with the kids for a proper beach day sans the requisite winter gear we would usually wear for a walk down by the North Sea. It's so strange to go outside and not need a light jacket or cardigan in August. Everyone keeps talking about how cool it is here for August, low 80s to high 70s (mid to high 20s for all you Celsius peeps), but to us it's paradise.
One last item, our FedEx boxes were held up at Stansted Airport because they did not have the proper accompanying paperwork for customs. This has caused a bit of a headache for us. Please pray that it all goes through fine.

Déjà Vu All Over Again
Settling back into life in Jersey has been a bit like déjà vu...again. How quickly I had forgotten all of the mundane tasks and items that have to be sorted when you move, and, in our case, much of it has revolved around getting our vehicle operational. This morning, bright and early, I drove Trey over to the Philly airport for a weekend trip down to Atlanta where our car lived over the last two years.

However, matters are slightly complicated by the fact that both of our driver's licenses and the car's title still have our OLD New Jersey address. This meant that the NEW registration would have to be put in the OLD address. More things to sort. I also forgot about getting the car inspected. Another item to add to the list. We have 14 days from yesterday to get that taken care of. The good news is that in the two years we've been gone our insurance costs have come down significantly. Who would've expected that? We have also now re-emerged from the 16th century into the 21st by getting cell phones...two at that. The lady looked at my slightly quizzically when I told her I was an old fashioned girl and didn't need texting and internet capabilities. Those of you who know me well know how anti-texting I am, a topic for another day.
At Last
I've had many people ask if I planned to continue blogging even after we'd left Aberdeen. I think at this point I wouldn't know how to stop. It's become such an integral part of my life, an outlet for my own expression and thought development not to mention a way to keep in touch with our loved ones scattered across the map, even more so now as we have left such a dear group of friends back in Aberdeen many of whom are only months away from moving themselves.
However, a new era required a new look. Life in Old Aberdeen didn't exactly ring true anymore, and the thistles and city skyline, well, that's just confusing. I worked on the look a good bit this summer. Not possessing any real HTML knowledge myself, I was somewhat limited to code-generating websites, which themselves only go so far. If only I had my own graphic designer and webmaster. Ah well. This will have to do for now. I am sure I will continue tweaking the look. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this lovely view of Philadelphia's skyline at sunset.

Answered Prayer
I want to thank each and every one of you who prayed us through this day. We arrived in Newark in one piece with all luggage accounted for. It was a grueling day, not one I hope to ever repeat again with 2 toddlers in tow, but our God is good and saw us through. I will write a more detailed account when I have the opportunity over the next few days, but in the meantime I wanted to give a quick update and say hello from my childhood home.

Goodbye, Old Aberdeen
Well, we're done. All the bags are packed, weighed, and just waiting to be loaded into the cab. We depart for the airport at 4am tomorrow. This moment is very bittersweet. We will miss our wonderful little home here so dearly, but we have such promise and expectation awaiting. Your prayers are coveted. Much love, Becky

Packing Marathon
This is a truism. Packing, like building, always takes longer and costs more than you expect. Yesterday, Trey and I set about our packing "dry run". What we thought would take a couple of hours in the morning lasted the better part of the day. We needed to determine what exactly could fit into our allotted 7 suitcases (6 with a 50 lb. limit, one with a 23 lb. limit) plus carryons. We had already boxed up Trey's library (9 boxes) and the boys' books and my cookbooks (another 4 boxes). What we discovered was that despite the 12 or 13 bags being given away to charity and all the other items we've given to friends, we still had stuff that had to come home which couldn't fit into our luggage. All I can say is FedEx is making a mint off of us. The grand total is 17 boxes.
The good news is that now 98% of the packing is all done. We are living out of our suitcases for the next week because after all that effort it hardly made sense to unpack. Next on the docket? The deep cleaning...

Saying Goodbye
The blog has remained unusually quiet recently, not for lack of good intentions, but because I've felt fairly uninspired. We're mired in packing and dismantling the sweet little house we've called home for two years now. What do you say about that? Hard decisions about what stays and what goes. The staggering cost of shipping books back. Hoping that all of our suitcases can fit into one taxi so we won't need two. The other day my mom asked me if I was really sad about leaving, and I said that I felt as if I were in a time delay, as though the fact of going will only be realized in its aftermath. It's a little like watching someone else's life. I don't think I have fully comprehended going home. I've caught glimpses, like yesterday when I couldn't get the thought of grilled chicken, corn on the cob, and Jersey tomatoes out of my head, but home...it seems so far away, like there are still so many things left to be done. How do you wrap up a life here and resume one you've left behind? The mind boggles.
The weeks since we've been back from London have been gray and drab and cold, certainly making the thought of the blissfully warm weather ahead of us appealing. But I will miss this quirky island with its musical accents, curious customs, rolling hills, big-hearted people, and ancient sites.
With 9 days left, forgive if I don't post too much. I'm here, just packing and thinking and saying goodbyes.
Wednesday, August 13, 2008
This morning Trey left for one final research trip down to Edinburgh. He has three libraries he has to visit today in just over 5 hours' time to make it back for his late afternoon bus home. It's hard to believe this will be his last time in that great city, a city which a colleague of his described as "quite possibly the perfect city". The countdown is on in earnest. We're under the two week mark.
Olympics from the Other Side
To my great dismay NBC has blocked all Olympic coverage for viewers outside the US. Thankfully, the BBC runs a live feed of the Olympics all day and, of course, covers the highlights for those who miss the really big moments which invariably occur in the wee hours of the morning here. I first started catching up on Monday when I watched the 4x100 swimming relay in which the US pulled out a come-from-behind win over the French. The BBC commentators have a clear love/hate relationship with the US swim team, particularly Michael Phelps, who they regularly call "the great" as though he were in a line of monarchs. The Great Michael Phelps elicits both profound admiration and unending chagrin for these swimming experts who look for almost any opportunity to point out a weakness. If he doesn't win by a wide margin or soundly break the World Record, he's just not on form or appears to be really puffing for air. It's almost laughable and a real dose in reality for me. All the Olympic coverage I've ever seen has come from the other side of the pond, admittedly shaded by home team pride. To hear both praise and criticism from your Olympic opponent who is clearly used to being soundly beaten by the Americans is both comical and simultaneously pitiable. Evidently, they've been taken out to the woodshed one too many times.
So that you too can get a little taste of what it's like for Americans over here to listen to Olympic coverage, here is that unbelievable relay I just mentioned.

He Speaks
Trey predicted this would happen. When I would say, "Davis really doesn't say much for his age," he would reply, "Just you wait. He'll be one of those kids who doesn't say anything until he opens his mouth one day and speaks like an adult. Davis has gone from saying nothing to speaking in sentences. Today I was playing with him doing somersault gymnastics off my lap and every time he would say, "Do again?" At first I thought I was hearing things. Surely, this child is not saying, "Do it again?" I would repeat it and he would say, "Yeah!" He did it over and over again without fail. Earlier today when he got up from his nap he could hear his brother crying in his crib to get out and I swear he said something like, "Asson crying," with a few other unintelligible mutterings thrown in. This child, who has said virtually nothing so far, is clearly talking and in a fairly advanced way for 18 months. Just like Davis to do things in an a-typical fashion.
London in Bits: St. Paul's Cathedral
The hostel where we stayed was around the corner from St. Paul's Cathedral. Each night I would lay in bed and listen to its massive bell chime the hour. What an incredible bonus to our stay, lying in bed listening to the bells of St. Paul's. During the day hundreds of people take refuge on the church's steps, eating their lunch, resting, talking on their mobiles. It seems to be a designated congregation point.
Trey and debated which church we should do, St. Paul's or Westminster Abbey. Both charge hefty entrance fees, a fact which galls me. These houses of God are as expensive as any ordinary tourist attraction in London, in Westminster Abbey's case costing £12 ($24) for an adult admission. Thankfully, I had scouted out the service times for St. Paul's and we went on a Wednesday evening during Evensong, thereby circumventing the price gouging. I couldn't help but think of Jesus overturning the moneychangers in the Temple, once again. What a treat to experience this cathedral the way she was intended to be experienced. I sat further back with Davis because he thought it was hilarious how his voice echoed endlessly across the vaulted ceilings. Addison, however, amazingly sat with Trey in the Quire through the whole service without a problem. It lasted about 40 minutes and consisted of numerous choral presentations, two brief passages of Scripture, and the most vapid prayer I've ever heard. If I closed my eyes and imagined I wasn't surrounded by hundreds of tourists in t-shirts and shorts milling about the back of the church for fear of getting a little religion and just listened to the breathtaking way the voices mingle and soar in the acoustics of such an open place, I could imagine what heaven might be like. And of course one little boy's voice was added to the mix, out of key and rhythm, just testing those vocal capabilities.
The interior of the cathedral is unlike anything I'd ever seen before. The amount of goldwork adorning the church made it stunningly ornate and regal, nothing like the rugged, seemingly impregnable cathedrals of Scotland. St. Paul's almost seemed prim and fussy, the contrast between these two peoples drawn ever so starkly in their places of worship. Sadly, no pictures or video are allowed inside. I watched the camera nazi throughout the service. Although I was holding my camera (who isn't walking around touristy London without a camera), he didn't bother me, presumably the noisy child in my lap warded him off. However, he had no qualms about approaching other surreptitious picture takers and making them delete the photos. What a fun job! Nevertheless, there is a wonderful virtual tour available here and you can see its magnificent beauty for yourself.

A Hard Decision
It is with much sadness that Trey and I have decided to cancel our trip to Geneva. We agonized for nearly two weeks over what the right thing to do was, and ultimately today we both reached that point of peace I knew would come eventually. The first nagging misgivings occurred right after our London trip. We started talking about the feasibility of it. There were many reasons to cancel: timing, moving, children, but we couldn't get the thought out of our head, the reason we had wanted to do it in the first place. We're so close. If we don't do it now, when will we ever do it? It was a compelling argument, I must admit, one that gave us great pause and caused us the most unrest.
However, as the end has neared, as the reality of leaving our home in Aberdeen has begun to sink in, it seemed less prudent to travel so far with the children so close to the BIG MOVE. We would have only had two full days to finalize things here before heading back to the US, and on the heels of lots of flying and travel in a big city, it seemed unfair to our little ones and unnecessarily stressful on us.
So this is what being an adult is, eh? Hard decisions that hit you in the wallet as well as the gut. Our plane tickets have already been booked. My best hope is to recoup some of the taxes on the unused fares. The hotel will charge a night's cancellation fee. In the end, however, I know we have made the right decision for where we are as a family, and I take comfort in knowing that Geneva is not going anywhere. We will get there...some day.

Trey Miscellany
A few days ago while up at the library, Trey discovered this pamphlet about the Chaplaincy Services at the University. Take a closer look at the photo on the cover. Yes, you guessed it. That's one of Trey's photos, and if you have a very good memory, you'll recall us using it on our Christmas card for 2006. Now we're really regretting not selling these photos. This is the 4th documented use so far.
Every night after the boys have gone to bed and we clean up the toys (yes, I know we should have them do it, but it would take until the following evening at their current rate of mental focus), Trey lays out a few favorites in front of the fireplace, something akin to the stocking stuffed with goodies on Christmas, for them to play with first thing in the morning, and sure enough, before they've even had a bite to eat, they make a beeline for these shiny vehicles. The two latest additions are the doubledecker red bus and black taxi both purchased at the Westminster Abbey gift shop. We don't seem capable of visiting a new place without buying a car for each boy to add to their collection. I'm just praying we won't exceed the luggage weight limit for our flight home. If we do, I'm blaming all the cars and trucks.
Saturday, August 2, 2008
Davis's first real word appears to be his brother's name, or his version of it, Asson. I started noticing this word peppered throughout his babble and suddenly it dawned on me what he was saying. He is a stubborn little fellow and won't say anything on demand, excluding what a dog says. Otherwise you just have to listen for it.
London in Bits: The Tower
At this rate, I'll be finishing accounts of London around the time we return to the US. Sorry for the snail's pace. The state of packing and sorting a house to move across the ocean, indeed, has a life of its own.
One of the quirks of traveling with a historian in tow are the snide comments directed my way during historical tours. The Tower of London was no exception. Courtesy of Good Housekeeping's Buy One, Get One Free admission to the Tower (thanks, Sian!) we saved ourselves a bundle. We entered the fortress just after the tour had started but caught up with it just a few feet down the road at Traitor's Gate. The tour guide, dressed in full Beefeater attire, was delivering a rousing account of the history of the premises to which Trey quietly retorted, "This is not history. It's theater." I have to laugh because although I know these apocryphal accounts are often just anecdotal heresay, this is what keeps the audience interested. Real historians are hard to please! Trey had great reason to visit the Tower. The man he is writing his thesis on, Andrew Melville, was imprisoned there for 4 years from 1607-1611 for writing 6 lines of offending Latin poetry against the worship of the English church. During his time in the Tower, England experienced both very cold winters and very hot summers. One of the winters was so icy that the Thames remained completely frozen over for several months.
Much of the White Tower, the famed central edifice, was under restoration which impeded our photographs a bit. Trey took Addison in to see the exhibits. Davis had lost patience with the sightseeing and just wanted to wander the cobbles and flirt with the girl tourists. We indulged to maintain the peace. Afterwards we managed a quick glimpse at some of the crowned jewels and then found the famous ravens. I have heard repeated stories about one particular raven at the Tower of London back when Trey visited with his family some 15+ years ago, Ronald Raven. Yes, the punning is, indeed, clever. Sadly, Trey discovered after speaking with one of their caretakers that Ronald, like his namesake, is no longer with us. Legend has it that as long as the ravens remain at the Tower, London can never fall. In an effort to preempt the possibility of their flight and the subsequent fall of this great city, their wings have been clipped. Hmmm...that hardly seems fair. But then what would the tourists gawk at, and let me tell you, those are some big birds which do bite.

Trey took this photo of Addison inside the White Tower. Apparently, it took awhile to pose because Addison was totally freaked out by the boy in armor behind him. Its face is a little creepy.

(WBIR) The Tennessee Valley should not be sold, according to a recent study.
President Obama said in his budget that he's considering selling the utility. In response, TVA asked Lazard Frères & Co. to do an independent financial review.
Its study released Wednesday said selling TVA wouldn't do much to limit the federal debt. In fact, Lazard Frères & Co. said it could actually push customers' rates higher.
The federal government owns TVA, but the utility company doesn't get taxpayer dollars.

The popularity of the book can be gauged by the owner Kapish Mehra Rupa & Co, Book Publishers, who has confirmed the launching of the book and according to him "The subscription was double of its first print run. We've rarely had this kind of a situation where our first edition is overbooked or should I say, oversubscribed, even before it hits the stands. It's a positive sign."

Bachchan's hometown of Allahabad

Aquarium background gel
Quite some time ago someone wrote that they used petroleum jelly to adhere their background to the aquarium. I thought it would be such a mess.
Last week during the weekly water change I got a little reckless and some water got between the back wall and the background. The image stuck to the glass and it was an amazing difference - much brighter, much better.
Then I saw some backgrounds that came with an application gel....and then a product called Seaview Aquarium Background Mounting Solution....
Product Features
> Seals aquarium background for a flawless, illuminated view
> Easy to apply & remove
> Works on glass or acrylic tanks
> Non-toxic formula prevents condensation
Has anybody used this stuff or a product like it?
It is messy to put on but if done right it works amazingly well.
I have it on the back of my 75g background. You need to make absolutely sure there is nothing on the background before adding it, otherwise it will stick to it and show up.
I would recommend putting it on with newspaper on a flat surface, use a soft scraper (I used a rubber spatula) to remove air bubbles and smooth it down. You need complete access to the back of the tank while you use it though. It takes time to do it but it can be done with the tank nearly against a wall..best done with two people to keep the background tight while you put it on, if doing this way.
The motivation is how much better I think it would look as right now you can barely see the detail and when the spot was wet it just popped.
This is where I ran into trouble. I still tried and I am sorry I did. It looks rough. I couldn't get it flat against the tank and all the bubbles out. I now have a smeary looking background. I am not going to try again as it could get even worse. Now, I just hide the poor job with plants.:oops:
An office supply store might have something that fits the back of your tank. Something like heavy duty paperboard. Then attach your background to it, smoothing out any wrinkles and then mount it to the rear using cellophane tape. The tape may loosen over time but just apply more tape.

what's this?
report abuse
by Jaye Lewis
I was feeling my age that morning as I limped from the parking lot up
to the Physical Therapy Building.
I was pushing fifty. I was crippled and I was feeling like a failure.
Thankfully, I was happily married. However, health problems had cut short
my dreams of finishing my education. Gloomily, I couldn't recall a thing
that I had ever done that was important.
My thoughts became more disheartened when I noticed the middle aged
man limping in front of me -- his long gray hair blowing in the wind. I
just knew I'd be stuck in the waiting room with him. I was in no mood for
a conversation. I knew I was in for a long and painful wait.
By the time I reached the hallway, one of the two chairs available was
occupied by the gray-haired man. Reluctantly, I took my seat next to him,
hoping that I could bury myself within the pages of an outdated magazine.
My bubble of protection was immediately interrupted by his curious
stare. I looked up with a sigh. He gave me an uncertain smile as our eyes
"I know you," he said.
"No you don't."
"Yes, I'm certain I know you."
"I'm not from here," I insisted.
"No. I've met you someplace before."
"That's impossible. I'm certain we've never met."
"I feel that I know you from long ago," he said, with conviction.
In spite of myself, I was intrigued. We played "twenty questions,"
and we finally got around to the Vietnam War and San Francisco.
He had served in the Army. He'd been wounded in battle, and he was
darned proud of it.
"I didn't do anything important," I said. "I served stateside, as a
U.S. Navy WAVE, at San Francisco International Airport. I married way too
soon and I was discharged when I became pregnant," my voice trailed off.
Suddenly, the man became very excited.
"I remember receiving help from a young WAVE," he grinned, "with red
hair just like yours! It was in the spring of '67, when I came back
wounded from Vietnam."
He continued.
"I've never seen anyone like her, before or since. She moved heaven
and earth to make sure that I was well taken care of. She was a tiger, all
right. I was badly wounded, barely dragging on crutches. She got me into
a wheelchair, and she literally ran after a local bus, making them stop.
Then she nearly carried me on board, giving the driver careful instructions
to make sure that I arrived at the hospital, safe and sound. And then she
called to see how I was!
"I didn't see her, again, until four months later, when I was heading
home, still on crutches. All I saw was this WAVE fighting like a wildcat,
trying to get away from some drunken sailor."
Chills crept up my spine as I remembered the wounded soldier who had
rescued me.
"I just couldn't let that girl be ill-treated, after all she had done
for me. I threatened that sailor with one of my crutches and he finally
put her down. I escorted her back to her desk..."
"And then you went and got the sailor," I choked on the words, "and
you made him apologize to me."
Tears streamed down my cheeks, as I remembered that day, and him.
How could this happen? My rescuer from 1967 was sitting next to me,
twenty-five years later and half a continent away. Our lives had come full
circle, and there we sat -- thanking each other for a mutual kindness, long
We talked for a long time, and then we parted. I learned some
important truths that day.
First, people are seldom what they seem to be, at first glance.
Second, kindness is its own reward. It changes the lives of both parties.
Last, I learned that though my time was short, I had served my
country, simply by serving those who had sacrificed everything.
I continued that day a happier woman because I understood that a
kindness given will often return to bless you again.

You just don't know How much those words mean to me right now. Everytime I have to go to a VA appointment I sit waiting my turn and look at all the other people sitting there, thinking about what I did during my career and what I know some of them did during thiers. During my 18 1/2 years of Army service I never got the opportunity to pick up my rifle in conflict, but those words made me realize that no matter what we think we have done or not done, as long as we did our job the best way we could, someone else was able to do thiers and maybe even a little better. Thank you for posting this and May all your days be Blessed........

Styling Tip
Step 1: Start with dry hair with smooth volume on top and subtle texture through your length.
Step 2: Leaving a few side-parted layers out in front, sweep your length back and to one side and place into a ponytail using a coated elastic band. Separate hair in thirds, then create a tight braid. Spritz with hairspray for all-day hold and top it off with your favorite hat.

Date of Stay: September, 2015
This is a free rv park on the main highway through Muleshoe that allows visitors to stay for 3 days free. Donations are appreciated. Large level gravel parking spots with 50 amp service, good ota tv and convenient to shops and restaurants make this a great spot to stop and rest awhile. We will definitely stop here again if we are in the area.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
This is a large gravel parking lot that's great for overnight or a few days stay to rest and visit the casinos. Easy on/of the highway and fuel is right near the entrance to the park. There are 2 large casinos within a couple of miles and plenty of shops and restaurants. We will stay here again when in the area.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
Very friendly staff. When it rains (and it does often) the park roads have a lot of mud holes. Wi Fi and TV reception were very poor and often didn't work at all and the service people were out almost every day working on it. The park is very convenient to great fishing and all outdoor activities. Some of the motel guests were very drunk and disorderly with their loud music and racing their ATVs thru the park. Not a place for small children when these people are present. We would definitely look for a different park if in the area again.
Date of Stay: June, 2015
This was a last minute overnight stop. The pull through sites were too narrow for us to put our slides out. The entire park is gravel and a bit dusty. The dumpster was overflowing. The good news is that the staff was very friendly and accommodating. There are also several fast places within walking distance. Our RV is 43 feet with 4 slides and the park just wasn't designed for one our size. I would stop here again if nothing else was available close by.
Date of Stay: June, 2015
Clean, well maintained, large pullthru's, pet friendly and casino on site if you do that sort of thing. The sites were all paved, not very level, but nothing that my levelers couldn't handle. Way better than staying in Reno. We stayed here going to and from Sacramento and would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2015
We stayed here only one night, but the service and accommodations were great. Clean, quiet and well maintained. The staff was very courteous and knowledgeable. I would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2014
I've stayed at this park before and had a pleasant experience. The park now appears to be going through some hard times. The pool was drained (probably because of drought) and the general appearance was a little unkempt and maintenance a little lacking. One of the campers said that the owners were very ill and the park was being run by an inexperienced relative. It shows. There is also a railroad crossing very near and the trains run all night. If you don't like train horns, this might be a little annoying. Overall, still not a bad place to spend a night.
Date of Stay: June, 2014
This park has 2 names. Raton Pass Camp and Cafe and Cedar Rails. The website show 2 different parks. Cedar Rails on bottom and Raton Pass on top. If you go to the top park, Raton Pass, the lady from the Cedar Rails office will chew you out for not stopping there first. My view was of a sheer rocky bluff 50 feet off my front bumper and I-25 out my side window. Water usage is limited, as is sewer and wi-fi. There is no cable tv service. Their rules are very clear as to the amount of these items that you can use per day. (don't bathe the kids) Sharp turns make access by big rigs not fun. I will definitely not stay again.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
We stayed here in a motor home pulling a trailer. The site was plenty long but very tight to maneuver out of due to a fence directly in front. The street corners were also very tight. The entrance from the street has 2 dips that will make a big rig drag bottom. Be very careful. There is a nearby feed lot that will run you inside when the wind is from the west. The pads were dirt and level, the staff was friendly and helpful. It had just rained when we were here, so the dog runs were mud holes. The sewer hook ups are at the very rear of the sites, so bring an extra long sewer hose. Wi-Fi and cable were adequate. We will not stay here again due to the strong possibility of damage caused by the entrance area. It appears that the majority of the people in the park live here full time.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
On check in, the clerk spent several minutes pushing the restaurant. We tried it. Bad mistake. Overpriced, overcooked, served on a paper plate. On the plus side, service was excellent. We were told our site was a 90 ft site. We barely fit with a 40 ft motorhome and a toad. Toad rear bumper in road, RV front bumper in road. No sewer dump at site, but told that there was a community dump on the exit road. No Wi-Fi, in spite of being assured there was. Very poor TV selections, unless you like 1970's re-runs. It rained briefly. The gravel sites turned to mud sites. This place makes Wal Mart parking lots look like 5 star accommodations.
Date of Stay: August, 2011
Very friendly folks. Campground right on Rio Grand River that is stocked by the park. Excellent fishing. Large meadow for dog walking or exercise. Plenty of group activities organized by full time activities director. Most of the campers here have been here before and keep returning. We will definitely be back.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
Packed in like sardines and the staff (work campers) were very unfriendly. I would dry camp beside the road before staying here again.
Date of Stay: January, 2009
This place is a dump. Old, trashy and no effort made to clean up. Their website shows fishing piers and a cleaning station, but they do not exist. The waterfront is covered with old broken chunks of concrete covered with oyster shells and trash. The office was so full of cigarette smoke that it was difficult to breathe. So if you're allergic to nicotine, avoid this place. The site was so short that I stuck out into the street both front and rear. We were too close to the rig next door to walk between the rigs.
Date of Stay: November, 2008
Excellent, very well maintained park. Concrete, level pads throughout. The park is operated by LCRA and that's a pain, but overall, excellent.
Date of Stay: August, 2008
This park is located right on the Rio Grande River. Excellent evening activities and very friendly folks. Some of the sites are very close together and reservations need to be made several months in advance. Clean and very well maintained.

Can you expect a linebacker, even one as experienced as Keith Bulluck, coming off knee surgery to come into a new defense at a new position one week before the start of training camp and actually contribute by by the start of the season?
There are a lot of questions there, but the Giants apparently think the former Titan has enough answers so they have agreed to a one-year contract that could be worth $2.5 million to Bulluck, 33, if he makes the transitions from Nashville to East Rutherford and weakside linebacker to the middle
The 10-year veteran suffered the knee injury in the 15th week of the 2009 season and underwent surgery to repair the ACL in his left knee. He had to sit out the initial stages of free agency recuperating from the surgery but has recovered well enough to pass the Giants physical and impress them enough in a workout to warrant a one-year deal.
Moving him to the middle means the Giants apparently don't think their candidates there, Jonathan Goff, Phillip Dillard and Gerris Wilkinson, are ready to take over Antonio Pierce's old slot. Still Bulluck is going to have to work overtime to get himself ready for that Sept. 12 opener against the Panthers. He has always been known as a heady player, however, which should help him is the Clarkstown North High product from New City returns to the New York metropolitan area.

Andy Samberg To Host 2013 Film Independent Spirit Awards In Santa Monica
Posted Dec. 11, 2012, 7:06 am

You could pay to reduce the state's storm insurance risk
Florida TaxWatch released a report on Wednesday on the need to reduce the size and risk of the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, which sells cheaper backup insurance to insurers so they can pass the savings to consumers.
The problem is, all property and automobile insurance policyholders pay fees to offset the fund's deficits after major hurricanes: Floridians are still paying 1.3 percent of their premiums for deficits from the 2005 hurricane season. What's more, it's unclear if the fund would be able to raise the full $17 billion in coverage it offers to help pay claims if a major hurricane strikes. There would likely be $3.2 billion shortfall, according to TaxWatch.
But the problem with shrinking the fund is that it would lead to rate hikes for consumers.
The report quantifies the impact of various proposals to reduce the fund's risk. It would cost the average policyholder:
$19.25 more a year, or $95 million for all policyholders, if what amounts to the industry's deductible was increased from $7 billion to $8 billion;
$92 more a year, or $453 million for all policyholders, if the coverage amount offered was decreased from $17 billion to $12 billion;
$115 more a year, or $566 million for all policyholders if the coverage offered was reduced slightly, by $3 billion, and the minimum co-pay for insurers was increased from 10 percent to 25 percent; and
$173 more a year, or $850 million for all policyholders, under a scenario where all three proposals are implemented, the coverage drops $5 billion and the deductible and co-pay increases.
TaxWatch acknowledges there are pros and cons to any funding system. If the cat fund shrinks, policyholders pay more upfront in premiums and insurers use the money to buy reinsurance, or backup coverage, from private insurers.
If the cat fund stays as is, policyholders could have to pay fees to offset deficits after a major hurricane but they can use the extra money they'd have now to spend money and stimulate Florida's economy.
The TaxWatch report said there are several disadvantages. Consumers' policies can be canceled if they can't pay fees charged after a major hurricane bankrupts the fund and policyholders who may not benefit from the catastrophe fund would still be subject to paying fees to support it. For instance, some policyholders may move into the state years after a hurricane but they'd still have to pay fees to support claims from the hurricane. Charities and businesses don't benefit from the potential savings offered by the cat fund because the fund doesn't cover commercial claims, yet they are still subject to the fees.
Several groups – Associated Industries of Florida, the Florida Wildlife Federation and the James Madison Institute – on Wednesday voiced their support for the TaxWatch report and for proposals to shrink the cat fund and state-backed Citizens Property Insurance.
"Despite the fact we've been hurricane-free for years, hurricane taxes of the past continue to haunt us," said Manley Fuller, president of the Wildlife Federation. "We urge the Florida Legislature to enact reform that will end the practice of allowing Citizens and the Cat Fund to subsidize reckless coastal development."
Proposals to shrink state insurance programs are backed by many in the insurance industry. Policyholders of Florida, a group formed by Tampa Attorney Sean Shaw, released a video Thursday urging lawmakers to give both insurers and consumers a voice in policy-making during the legislative session that starts in January.

Whilst perusing the internet like I'm prone to do, I began by looking at some of the stories that I'd saved to read later on my iPhone through Tweetie using the Instapaper integration.
One of these saved articles featured a composition by Smashing Magazine about online t-shirt stores.
It featured many of the coveted sites that I already had come across including the superb Threadless store that allows designers to submit ideas and have those submissions rated with the best ideas converted into new t-shirts. One of the other sites featured which stood out was Drop Dead Clothing.
After a quick Google search, it transpires that this is an offshoot project by some guy called Oliver Sykes from a band called Bring Me The Horizon, which to be frank isn't particularly important. What caught my attention was some of the really awesome designs employed on their apparel.
UPDATE: For those of you cheapskates out there (including myself) you can try and get yourself a bargain using this eBay hub.

Tip of the Juiceberg
If A-Rod flunked a drug test, what else don't we know?
Also in Slate: Tim Marchman argues that nobody liked Alex Rodriguez before the steroids and nobody likes him now.
Does it make any sense that somebody resisted steroids for eight years in places such as Seattle and Texas in the Wild West days when there was no drug testing or public pressure whatsoever, and then suddenly (and with the security of a $252 million contract in his pocket) choose to use them precisely when drug testing and the public pressure are put in place for the first time?
Sixth: The steroid for which Rodriguez tested positive was Primobolan, a drug on which players allegedly relied to fool the 2003 drug tests. As SI explains, "Primobolan is detectable for a shorter period of time than the steroid previously favored by players, Deca-Durabolin."
If Rodriguez was using drugs calculated to evade detection, how many other tests did he and others beat this way? How many tests are they still beating?
Seventh: Three players reportedly told SI that the chief operating officer of the players asociation tipped Rodriguez about a 2004 drug test that was supposed to be a surprise. Their allegation echoes the 2007 Mitchell report. A tipped player can beat the test by flushing the forbidden drugs from his system or using other drugs to mask them.
How many times did Rodriguez and others escape detection thanks to tips?
In fact: Did Rodriguez flunk the 2003 test precisely because its results were never supposed to be disclosed—and therefore a tip was thought to be unnecessary?
And while we're at it, SI's Selena Roberts astutely asks: Why would the players association boss tip a clean player? Wouldn't you tip the guy you suspect might otherwise flunk?
Eighth: As Tim Marchman points out in Slate, we're just now finding out, six years later, about the 2003 test. We know Rodriguez was using what was then a state-of-the-art drug for evading detection.
What are the chances that the state of the art hasn't advanced in those six years? How many players are fooling today's tests? When, if ever, will we find out about it?
Remember, none of this is conclusive evidence. These are just questions. Maybe Rodriguez never doped until the testing program began, and he was caught the first time he tried it. Maybe he was tipped just that one time and just as an innocent favor. Maybe it's pure coincidence that he chose Primobolan. Maybe the state of the art hasn't advanced, and every player on steroids is being caught. Maybe no other lists of failed test results have been destroyed, concealed, or legally suppressed.
And if you believe that, I've got a $275 million slugger to sell you.
(Now playing at the Human Nature blog: 1. Is it OK to pay for kidneys? 2. The underworld of Middle East tunnels. 3. Body parts made from trash.)

Joe Petro III, Printmaker
Born May 3, 1956 in Lexington, Joe Petro III is a second-generation fine artist. After majoring in zoology at the University of Tennessee, Joe chose to turn his lifelong love of art into his profession. His educational background and interest in the animal world are evident in many of his images.
Strongly influenced by the world around him, Joe bases his images on things familiar to him. Early childhood memories also are reflected in his works. When Joe was a child, his artist-father gave him a toy version of "Robby the Robot" from the 1956 film Forbidden Planet. Memories of the toy led him to spend countless weeks working on a serigraph of Robby. Familiarity strikes again in the frequently used image of Bub, the artist's parrot.
A self-taught artist, Joe rejects conventional rules and restrictions, learning solely through experimentation. Skilled in various media such as bronze, clay, and hand-made paper, he is an accomplished sculptor as well as a master printmaker. He pulls all of his own serigraphs using hand-cut stencils, laying each color separately onto the white paper, rather than layering one color on top of the next. Through this method of printing on "negative space," he is able to produce the vivid, brilliant colors that make his works so unique. He frequently uses as many as 246 colors, which he mixes himself and blends by hand.
Companies and organizations that have commissioned original works have included IBM, NCR, Greenpeace, IAMS, and the 1990 Iditarod Sled Dog Race. Joe's web site also includes an appreciation of his work by Kurt Vonnegut, one of several writers with whom he has collaborated individually. Joe has transformed several Vonnegut drawings into vibrant prints. Of that work, Vonnegut says, "He is like a brilliant pianist who subtly expresses his own moods and sensibilities while playing another person's music."
Joe Petro III also likes to fish.

As you take what some of us think of as "the back way" to Buckland mall, and turn at the intersection of Tolland Turnpike and Slater Road, you pass what at first glance looks like merely an old house on the corner.
The small sign in the front reveals otherwise.
The John Olds House was the home to a man considered to be the father of Manchester. A soldier who helped the 13 colonies fight the British and establish the United States, Olds also was behind a revolution on a much smaller scale, when in 1823 he led residents of Orford Parish to separate themselves from East Hartford and create a new community -- Manchester.
Alas, the handsome farmhouse that Olds lived in appears to be headed for the scrap heap. A New York-based company, TGM, which owns the adjacent Waterford Commons apartment complex, plans to raze the Olds House,
presumably to build more apartments. apparently to build a small park.
Various town officials, members of the Manchester Historical Society and others have protested, noting that the house is listed on the state Register of Historic Places and may well qualify for a similar label on the national level.
But discussions and negotations with TGM have not been especially fruitful, and that means bulldozers and backhoes might soon be leveling the place.
Speaking of which, it was only last week that the old Hollister Street School (also known as the Bentley School Building) was razed, as part of an overhaul that includes construction of a new Head Start building at the lot bordered by Hollister, Summit and Washington streets.
This photo shows some of the wreckage in the foreground, with the Head Start construction visible to the rear:
In this case, town officials were pressing for demolition, as they essentially argued that the 80-year-old school had to go to make room for a much-needed new home for pre-schoolers.
So it goes with these cases. It all depends on your agenda -- be it money, "the public good," or something else.
One thing is clear, though: Once an old building is gone, it's gone for good.
