"Two years after the release of "Ersatz" (1990), Moebius and Renziehausen issued "Ersatz 2" as the culmination of their ongoing studio collaboration. It is as meticulously crafted as "Ersatz", dipped in the same luminance and confounds with a similar wealth of musical ideas. And yet "Ersatz 2" does not simply carry on where "Ersatz" left off. Moebius and Renziehausen composed and improvised quite intuitively on "Ersatz", emptying their music of messy ballast, yet adding decorous, delicate detail. This is even more true of "Ersatz 2", with the marked difference that the music has become even more transparent and the individual tracks shorter in length. The two sound artists reach an almost ascetic level with their unwavering concentration on musical substance and the deliberateness of their creative approach. Almost is the word, for this is a pop album with all of the vibrancy associated with this world. It is neither minimalist in the academic sense nor suitable for any form of meditative exercise, the brevity of the tracks already enough to preclude this. The album also differs from "Ersatz" rhythmically: it is almost danceable." (label info) With liner notes by Asmus Tietchens.

Mr. Grumpy at Tumbit has got all hot and bothered about Spanglish. He thinks expats shouldn´t actually speak like expats and has two levels of grumpiness :
- Expats speaking in Spanish but resorting to English words they´re unsure about in Spanish.
- Expats talking to English friends and substituting "every third" English word for a Spanish one.
My advice to Mr. Grumpy is to throw caution to the wind because this kind of "wrong" speech has a name and it´s not Confusion, Forgetfulness or Ostentation. It´s "code-switching" and it´s completely natural. Anyone who lives with – or more precisely, lives in – more than one language does it. It´s only linguistically-deprived monolinguals, poor dull souls, who don´t, and even they still have to deal with all the other minefields afflicting language, like register, accent and context.
In these IT days, we hear quite a lot about codes. WordPress even go as far as to argue that "code" is poetry. I might take that up in another post, but in the meantime I want to stress that the kind of code we´re talking about when we think of Spanglish is linguistic code – ie. language and all that it entails, which is a great deal. (Switching does not mean beating grammar into a reluctant schoolboy with twigs of birchwood, but changing from one language to another).
In fact, code-switching is how languages get invented! When we read in the dictionary that a particular word " comes from the Latin" (or Greek, Arabic or Sanskrit), it means that certain strange, unintelligible words from far off places have eventually become our very own native words over a period of hundreds or thousands of years. Linguistic expression is necessarily predicated on a state of being – who, what, where, why, when, how and whether one is – and is an organic, living thing to which all speakers contribute all the time. It´s not something mastodontic which exists over and above us and could go on without us. No, we are the ones who make it!
And it doesn´t only happen with vocabulary. I always hated the classical cases and declensions that my Latin teacher, Mrs. McLay, tried unsuccessfully to beat into my adolescent brain. Apparently the Romans did too and by reprehensible vices like sloth and mental fogginess invented prepositions, thus contributing to simplifying classical Latin into the vulgar Latin that ordinary folk could actually speak.
As an English and Spanish speaker I, for one, am thrilled about losing all that nominative, accusative, genitive and vocative stuff! (Sorry Germans et. al., even if often we still, as you do, at the end of our sentences our prepositions put).
The main point about code-switching is that it is anti-translation.
Because translation is slow, inhibiting fluency, and is thus better suited to the soporific and laborious work of scribing legal contracts. (Trust me, I know, snoooore……). Code-switching applies to us because the spoken language has to be economical and quick. If almendros pops into your mind quicker than almond trees then almendros it is, because speech is not about the muscles of your mouth or linguistic correctness but the new neural pathways creating themselves in your brain and making you bilingual!
The fact is that language is not a question of Tufty the Squirrel walking safely up one side of the street and down the other. No, it´s about him darting beady-eyed and dangerously back and forth across the road. Anything can happen and usually does, Spanglish even. However, this code-switching flow of articulated sound and meaning, for trade, love, ritual and lately, ideas, only becomes a "problem" when a certain piece of territory is linked to a certain language in order to create a certain nation state with physical boundaries. It may be a mark of civilisation to have One State, One Language, keeping all illegal utterances out, but to achieve this, linguistic expression has to be policed. And what is policing, but policy?
This is what Mr. Grumpy is doing when he yearns for an either/or paradigm. When he states he only ever begins a conversation in Spanish that he "can be sure of finishing," he´s policing his own linguistic output and testing his translation capabilities. To my mind, not allowing yourself to grab at all the wonderful, poetic, chaotic speech resources you have at the tip of your tongue is like imposing a form of corporal punishment on yourself, like the birch!
So don´t police or translate your speech, because if you ARE an expat, it´s no crime to speak like one!

Justin Bieber has been all over the news lately and none of it has been good. On Feb. 1, Justin Bieber made headlines again as TMZ reported the scene he made at a Maxim Superbowl Party.
Justin Bieber finished up business in Canada and headed to New York City on Friday to take part in the Superbowl festivities. Upon reaching Teterboro airport in New Jersey, Bieber was detained for a reported five hours as authorities reported the smell of marijuana on his plane. None was found and Bieber was let go.
Around 2 a.m., Bieber showed up at the Maxim Superbowl Party sponsored by Talent Resources. He was escorted through the back and seated in a roped off area in the back of Espace, a New York City club.
Apparently Justin Bieber was in no mood for fans. His security team kept a close watch over the troubled pop star. Whenever another attendee tried to take a picture of Bieber, his team intervened. They reportedly flashed bright lights to ruin pictures and swatted cameras and phones out of their owners hands. Bieber did give one photo op as he stood up and flipped off a camera.
According to reports, Bieber was denied entrance to other parties. It is unclear whether this was due to his age or his pending legal trouble. He is only 19-years old, too young to legally consume alcohol though he seems to do that anyway.

ORMOND BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- The car belonging to a missing Walmart worker has been found in a retention pond in Ormond Beach.
Authorities weren't able to identify a body found inside the car Thursday afternoon. An autopsy is planned for Friday.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports the pond is not far from 79-year-old Rose Bruce's apartment.
Bruce went missing after her shift ended at 10 p.m. Monday. Daughter-in-law Cathy Ryan also works at Walmart and says Bruce was supposed to return to pick her up about 11 p.m. When Bruce didn't show up, Ryan eventually walked home. She found the door unlocked and the apartment filled with smoke from dinner burning in the oven.
Authorities don't believe foul play was involved. The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating.

mildly entertaining
It was good, not great, but it definitely was funny sometimes. I thought some of the jokes were really, really, stupid and overused. But it made me smile a little to see the old man get crushed by rocks the second time.
How is he "Grandpa'" without grandchildren?
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
not bad..
your no chuck jones thats for sure. it was just something about the execution that just wasnt funny. i think it was either the timing or the voice acting.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
that just didn't make sense...But i loved it none the less. Great job! lol squirrels...
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
old age is funny
very funny. almost forgot about roadrunner/coyote cartoons. glad you reminded me. some parts were very funny and the whole thing overall was entertaining. i had fun watching this cartoon. if you make another one maybe the premise could be that instead of trying to get food from the grocery store, Grandpa could employ the squirrels to kidnap the dog. Grandpa could then dress up as and pretend to be the dog and get more dog treats!

Larsson wants Stoke repeat
by Stuart Vose
Replicate last year's blueprint, says ace.
Seb Larsson has called for a repeat of last season's performance at Stoke when Sunderland head to the Potteries this weekend.
The Black Cats ran out 1-0 winners at the Britannia Stadium back in February in sub-zero conditions.
James McClean scored the only goal at a snow-bound Britannia to seal a league double over Tony Pulis' side.
There's little to choose between the two outfits going into this season's rematch but Larsson says a repeat performance would go a long way towards the goal of a first away league win of the season.
"Of course it's going to be a physical game and you know what you're going to get down there," Larsson said.
"You have to give Stoke a lot of respect for what they do; they're good at it and we'll need to be on our toes and play like we did last season at their place.
"If we do then we have a good chance of getting something from the game – if not, it will be a tough afternoon."
Meanwhile Larsson says Sunderland must focus on sharpening their attacking instincts.
Martin O'Neill's men have been solid defensively and are now looking to bring their considerable threats to bear at the other end.
"The Barclays Premier League is about taking chances and maybe we haven't done that so far this season," he said.
"If we can be a bit more clinical, like we were on that horrible day last year, then maybe we can get a similar result.
"We feel quite solid and hard to beat and break down. Now it's about us focusing on the attacking part of the game.
"If we can get that right, we'll be a tough team to get anything from."

Jennifer M. writes, "Hi! First off I want to say how much I love this site. My spending has increased exponentially since discovering it. :) My request is kind of a unique one. I'm going to Bangalore, India, for work in mid-May and I'm completely clueless as to what is appropriate to wear there. I want to be respectful of the culture while still being stylish and comfortable. I'll be there until September so I'm looking for clothes that will be acceptable for work (I work at a bank with a business casual policy) as well as clothes to wear while exploring the area and going out. I wear anywhere from a 0-2, XS-S and a size 6 shoe. I'm planning on doing some shopping when I get out there so I'd like my initial spending budget to stay under $300 if possible. I'm looking for everything: pants, tops, dresses, shoes (heels or flats), and a bathing suit. I'd like to stick to neutrals so that I can mix and match as much as possible (a pop of color here and there with accessories is fine with me). I don't like very warm colors (no yellow, orange or brown) and I tend to wear a lot of black, although I'm aware that that probably won't work out for me so well in that climate, lol. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you so much!"
Hey Jennifer! Layla here to help! Unfortunately, I have not had the privilege of traveling to India (boo!), but I do have a good friend who spend several months there. She gave me some great advice to pass on to you! Pack light, dress modestly, and wear neutral shades that will hide the dirt and dust, of which there will be lots! Also pack a few fashion scarves that can double as a head cover when needed. Below are some neutrals and cool-colored clothing for you to consider. Oh, and each item (except the swimsuit) is under $50 to fit your budget! Have a ton of fun and mail us a postcard!
1 - ASOS Printed Fitted Shirt ($18, on sale)
2 - Glitzy Stripes Scarf ($9)
3 - Time Will Pastel Top ($33)
4 - Delicate Corps Blouse ($50)
5 - Pink Chiffon Ruffle Front Blouse ($30, on sale)
6 - MNG by Mango Scarf JHati ($20)
7 - Patagonia Brushed Vitaliti Skirt ($45)
8 - Jag Jeans Dina Chino Fine Line Twill ($35)
9 - Jantzen Vamp Maillot One-Piece ($92)
10 - Vertical Stripe Skirt ($19)
11 - Rocket Dog Memories Ballet Flat ($35)
12 - Beaded Swing Coverup ($49)
13 - Cooperative Mary Jane Flat ($20)

Bangalore's also pretty urban (in spots) and home to tons of IT companies. You'll be fine with anything to the knee and below (pencil skirts, a-line skirts, dresses). Mix and match with jewel toned clothing - purple, cyan, red, green. While I've never found good western wear in India, it's an amazing place to shop for Indian clothes, shoes, jewelry, scarves and other accessories. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for your help on this! I really love what you've chosen and it's helped point me in the right direction. And thank you Harsha as well for your comment, it's much appreciated. :)

Song: Persona 4 Battle Theme (Extended version)
Credit goes to Matthew a..k.a EliteBlitzer for the Persona 4 song.
Credit goes to MasterGamer on the GameFaqs forum for writing up a written version of how to level. It'll be posted below.
Q : How do I level/perfect an item ?
The easiest way to describe the process is to choose an example, so I will use a Yoshi.
1) Decide what stat you want to focus on for the Item. Most weapons have an obvious stat to focus on (e.g., ATK for Yoshi/Ultimus/Apocalypse, INT for the Omniscient Rod, HIT for Lovely Cupid). ATK or INT are generally focused on for the Makai Wars. The SRS is very versatile, and is perfected for INT/ATK/DEF/HP depending on the user. So a Yoshi would be perfected for ATK.
2) Remove the specialists present in the item and fill it up with Gladiators. There is a stat boost based on the presence of specialists in the item. The stat boost is independent of the level of the specialist (e.g., 4x level 100 gladiators will give more of a stat boost than 1x 19998). If the Yoshi contains 2 specialists, say a Gladiator and a Sentry, then you will want to subdue both specialists on the 1st floor and remove the Sentry, replacing it with Gladiators so there are 6 present. This involves saving the game, entering the Yoshi, subduing a specialist if one is present or reloading if one is not.
3) You should aim on boosting the level of the item 3 times/10 floors. This involves entering the Mystery gate 3 times and getting either the "7 Monsters" or the Fortune Teller and getting good/great luck for 3/10 levels boost each. A mystery gate can show after 3 floors have passed WITHOUT a mystery gate showing. Some people say that you MUST get the 3 mystery gates on floors 1, 4 and 7, but I am more flexible and work on the basis that you have 2 floors to get 1 of the gates and 1 floor to get the other 2 (e.g., if you get the level boost on floor 2, then you must get the other 2 boosts on floors 5 and 8, if you get your first 2 boosts on floors 1 and 4 then you can get the last boost on floors 7 or 8). This just gives a lil' more flexibility to the leveling. Just make sure you don't get a mystery gate on Floor 9 otherwise you will need to pass 3 AT LEAST 3 floors on another item to be able to get the gate to appear on 1st floor for the next 10 floor set. In the end you will need 2 Great Luck fortune tellers to reach the 200 level mark by the 100th floor.
4) You MUST double kill the Item Generals/Kings/Gods. Killing these bosses give a SIGNIFICANT stat boost to the item. Double killing these bosses involves entering the 10th floor, killing the boss, Gencying out, Saving the game, reentering the item and killing the boss again. A double kill is possible because the stat boost depends on at least one floor being cleared when the Item Boss is killed. The 1st kill is for the floors from 1-9. The second kill is for floor 10. You cannot triple kill the item boss as another floor is not cleared.
5) You must pass the bills on the 10th, 20th and 30th floors of the item! The stat boost due to the bills being passed is not retroactive, so the bills must be passed AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE (e.g., 10th, 20th and 30th floors). On the 10, 20 and 30th floors people will generally kill the Item boss, gency out, re-kill the Item Boss, then go straight to the dimension gate. IF the Innocent Town AND the DA chicken show, then great, if that does not occur then you need to reset and try again. More ATK bills would be passed on the Yoshi, for example.
6) When defeating the Item King on the 30th floor for the 1st time a new POP slot will be opened. A 7th Gladiator should be placed into the free spot before you reenter the item for the double kill, and an 8th Gladiator placed into the 8th slot after the second kill.
If you follow all of these steps then you will have a perfect item.

Many plants contain alkaloids or other toxins as a defense mechanism. After all, they are plants and lack any other form of defense. Through thousands of years of trial and error, humans and animals have come to realize which plants are safe, which plants can be fatally poisonous, and which ones fall somewhere in between. However, you might be surprised to know just how many beautiful and unimposing plants found in your neighborhood park or yard are dangerously poisonous.
Water Hemlock
Socrates may have famously drunk the juice from the poison hemlock, but the lesser known water hemlock is equally fatal. In fact, according to the USDA, the water hemlock is one of the most poisonous plants in North America. The stems and flowers of the water hemlock are safe to ingest, but the plant's stalky roots are full of lethal sap that contains convulsant cicutoxin. If ingested, people can expect to suffer from violent seizures, which are quickly followed by death.
English Yew
The scientific name of the English yew is taxus baccata, and with "taxus" being Latin for toxin, it is not surprising that the English yew is one of the deadliest trees in the world. The odd and primitive evergreen conifer is commonly found in forests throughout Europe. Unfortunately, every part of the tree, except for its berries, is lethally poisonous. Small amounts of English yew can cause convulsions and paralysis, and death typically follows. Throughout history, the tree was regularly used in small amounts for medicinal purposes, but it has been deemed far too dangerous for use in modern medicine.
Its blossoms may be beautiful, but the oleander is widely known as one of the most poisonous plants in the world. Only one leaf can be deadly to an adult, and many fatalities have been caused by having minimal exposure to the plant's blooms, twigs, and berries. Oleanders contain a number of toxins, including saponin, oleandoside, cardiac glycoside, and nerioside. Once oleander is ingested, it simultaneously attacks the cardiovascular and nervous systems as well as the digestive tract. The popular plant is native to parts of Asia and the Mediterranean, but it is now cultivated in countries around the world.

Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever
Dengue is a mosquito-borne infection which in recent years ....
Dengue Fever Cure
Can I get dengue fever from another person?
It is only spreads through the bite of an infected
not from person to person.
What is the treatment? Is it curable?
Like most viral diseases there is no specific
dengue fever
. Paracetamol is the drug of choice to bring down
and joint pain. Other medicines such as Aspirin and Brufen should be avoided since they can increase the risk of bleeding.Patients should take rest, drink plenty of fluids (including ORS) and eat nutritious diet.
Is there a vaccine to prevent dengue fever?
A vaccine has been developed to prevent
dengue fever
but it is still under trial.
When should a patient suffering from Dengue go to the hospital or consult a doctor?
The signs and
that should be looked for are severe pain in the abdomen, persistent vomiting, bleeding from any site like, bleeding in the skin appearing as small red or purplish spots, nose bleed, bleeding from gums, passage of black stools
like coal tar. This bleeding indicates dengue hemorrhagic fever which is a potentially lethal complication.
Take the patient to hospital whenever the first two signs, namely, severe pain in the abdomen and persistent vomiting are detected. Usually it is too late if we wait until bleeding has occurred.
How can the multiplication of mosquitoes be reduced?
Dengue mosquitoes
breed in stored, exposed water collections. Favoured places for breeding are barrels, drums, jars, pots, buckets, flower vases, plant saucers, tanks, discarded bottles, tins, tyres, water coolers etc.
To prevent the mosquitoes from multiplying, drain out the water from desert coolers/window air coolers (when not in use), tanks, barrels, drums, buckets etc. Remove all objects containing water ( e.g. plant saucers etc.) from the house. Collect and destroy discarded containers in which water collects e.g. bottles, plastic bags, tins, used tyres etc.
In case it is not possible to drain out various water collections or to fully cover them use insecticide to prevent larvae from developing into adults.
How can I protect myself from mosquito bites to prevent dengue fever?
There is no way to tell if a mosquito is carrying the dengue virus .
Therefore, people must protect themselves from all mosquito bites.
mosquitoes bite during the daytime. Highest biting intensity is about 2 hours after sunrise and before sunset.
Wear full sleeves clothes and long dresses to cover as much of your body as possible.
Use repellents
Use mosquito coils and electric vapour mats during the daytime also to prevent dengue. Use mosquito nets to protect children, old people and others who may rest during the day. The effectiveness of these nets can be improved by treating them with permethrin (pyrethroid insecticide) .

Check out my gorgeous client Lori Kadezabek wearing all her sterling-silver Wendy Brandes necklaces at once. From the top down, she's got my teeny Genie, my vampire stake and my Isabella wolf-fang. (Cool top too, right?)
Lori ordered herself a genie after I put that style on sale last week. The same day, I got an order for the vampire stake from her chivalrous husband, Brian. Both packages were going to the same address but I didn't say anything to either Lori or Brian lest I ruin a surprise or detract from a gift. Discretion. I has it. I did laugh up my sleeve in private, though.
It looks like I've sold all the genie necklaces with 16″ chains, but I have rustled up a few with 18″ chains. I'll keep the sale going a few more days so people who want a longer chain can do their thing.
If you're a fan of gold, I have three of the 18K-gold genies left. They're half-off the usual price.
You can see my other sale items here. I've just updated the page!
5 Responses to "A Lesson in Layering Jewelry From Lori"
GAH! And you have the bat pendant on sale. *lusty thoughts* Her necklace layering is so fantastic. Lucky lady indeed!
Wearing too much could be tasteless if you don`t know how to combine, I love what you chose, but I prefer one statement piece

In her Feb. 11 letter, "Proposed bills forcing 'choice,'" Ann Maker opposes Washington's House Bill 1044 and Senate Bills 5009 and 5576, or the Reproductive Parity Act.
Maker's argument is moot. There is nothing in the Reproductive Parity Act that will force people to purchase insurance plans that cover abortion.
The Affordable Care Act requires that states have to offer at least one health plan on their insurance exchanges that doesn't cover abortion services at all. So, if an employer wants to interfere with a woman's ability to make her own health care decisions, it can purchase one of those plans. If Maker opposes abortion for herself and her family, she too can choose one of those plans.
The fact of the matter is, the decision to have an abortion is complex and personal. Pregnancy decisions should belong to a woman, her family, her physician and her faith, not her employer, her insurance company or politicians. I support the Reproductive Parity Act because I trust women to make the health care decision that will keep themselves and their families strong.

I swoon over white bedding (it's on 4 of the beds in our house)...
I'm still not over my white sofa (this is in the basement where the kids and their friends hang out a lot)...
And I'll always love a white bathroom (we have white tile and grout in all but one of our bathrooms)...
That's a lot of white. But it doesn't scare me a bit. Not because it never gets dirty, but because it's not hard to get it looking great again.
My secret weapon is not really a secret at all. It's Clorox Liquid Bleach, and you probably have some in your laundry room right now.
Clorox has always been great for laundering whites. I bleach my white Pottery Barn slipcover and all our white duvet covers a couple times a year.
But, it works like magic in a white bathroom as well. When our white grout starts looking a little dingy, I give it a Clorox treatment and it looks great again in no time.
Here's my little routine...
Fill a spray bottle with equal parts Clorox bleach and water. (You can get these spray bottles at Dollar General for only $1). Notice that dirty grout?
Spray the grout lines with the bleach mixture and leave it for 30 minutes to an hour. Open windows and turn on fans to allow for proper circulation. After you've allowed it to soak, simply wipe off with a wet cloth. For more stubborn areas, use a small brush to scrub the grout, then wipe with the cloth. Don't forget to wear old clothes when working with bleach and wear gloves if you have sensitive skin.
You'll be amazed at the difference. I took these before and after pics in the same exact spot...
See what I mean?
My all-white shower gets the same treatment on a weekly basis to keep it clean and disinfected.
When we chose this tile and grout as we were building the house 3 years ago, our builder told me I would regret it. But when he was recently at our house and saw that the grout is still bright white, he was shocked and asked me how I keep it looking so clean. I told him my secret, and I think he's convinced.
So, don't be scared of white. Use this method on your ceramic tile and grout to keep it sparkling.
You can find a great assortment of Clorox bleach at a great value at your local Dollar General Store.
You'll get the same number of uses in the smaller bottle as you do in the large. But this means less waste and less space!
Pick up some Clorox at Dollar General today and lose your fear of decorating with white!

Perspective on InvestingNovember 2012
Seeking Income? The Stock Market May Be Your Best Bet
A series of macro-level events have been testing investors' confidence over the past several years. Most notably, concerns about the slowing global economy, the looming fiscal cliff, European sovereign debt and a slowdown in China have increased market volatility and overall investor fear.
Despite strong U.S. equity returns since the 2008 credit crisis, uncertainties have caused many investors to keep their money in the bond market, which has historically been perceived as providing greater safety. This heightened investor demand for bonds, combined with the Federal Reserve's programs designed to keep rates low, have forced bond yields into rock-bottom territory. In fact, the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond ended October with a low yield of 1.72%. Yields on short-term bonds continue to hover near 0%.1
While the income from bonds has all but disappeared, many corporations have been making decisions to pay dividends or increase dividend payouts to their stockholders. This shift has presented investors with the unusual opportunity to earn higher income from the stock market than from many areas of the bond market.
Over the past 15 months, the S&P 500 has consistently outpaced the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond (CHART 1). In fact, nearly 56% of the stocks in the S&P 500 are now yielding more than the 10-year Treasury.1
Stocks of companies with track records of increasing dividends have delivered an average annual return of 11.3% since 1990, outperforming the 8.7% average annual return of the S&P 500. In addition to providing higher returns, these stocks have historically exhibited lower volatility than the S&P 500 (CHART 2).2
Companies that increase their dividends often generate strong revenue, earnings and cash flow. They can therefore be more resilient when the economy softens, potentially providing some downside protection when equity prices respond to slower earnings growth. Many dividend-payers also tend to be multi-national companies that can potentially offset slowing growth in their domestic markets through their activities elsewhere.
Not only are stock dividend yields outpacing Treasuries, investors may also find instances when dividend yields exceed yields on corporate bonds. Nearly one in three S&P 500 companies now offers a higher stock dividend yield than the average yield on 10-year corporate bonds (CHART 3).3
Over the past 20 years, corporate America considered dividends anachronistic as stock buybacks and acquisitions were widely viewed to be the best use of capital. However, the past decade has been littered with failed acquisitions and buybacks that did little to boost returns.
Dividends, conversely, offer cash returns directly to shareholders and can provide insights into corporate management's confidence regarding their company's cash flow-generating capabilities. With firms in a much better position to raise their dividends today than they were a few years ago, some have become more receptive to adopting a dividend policy to attract investor interest. In fact, in the first three quarters of 2012, firms in the S&P 500 initiated or increased dividends 266 times, up from 259 and 187 times respectively during the same periods in 2011 and 2010.3
Dividends among S&P 500 companies have historically increased at an average annual rate of 5.9%. Over the past several years, however, this rate has increased significantly, jumping to 14.6% and 16.4% respectively for the past two 12-month periods ending September 30. In fact, third quarter 2012 marked the highest quarterly dividend payout amount on record for the S&P 500 (CHART 4).3
Despite record dividend payout amounts, the average payout ratio of dividends to corporate earnings remains at historically low levels. Today, dividends represent just 30% of earnings, well below the 50% historical average. With corporate cash at almost 14% of assets—the highest level in over 35 years—corporations may still be in the early stages of a long-term reversion to dividend-focused management in our view. Given the low payout ratio, we believe dividends can continue to grow at above-average rates in the year ahead.
Our view toward dividend-paying stocks continues to be positive. While the tax increase on dividends that is slated to go into effect on January 1, 2013 may reduce after-tax returns for some investors, many investors will not be directly impacted by such taxes. We believe that favorable factors, including improving corporate management attitudes towards dividends, strong profit margins, high cash levels and low payout ratios position dividend-paying stocks to do well in the coming quarters.
When seeking income from stocks, it is important to remember that the dividend levels paid by stocks are driven by decisions made by the management of the issuing corporation. There is no guarantee that a company will continue to pay or increase its dividend. Stock prices fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and dramatically, due to factors affecting individual companies, particular industries or sectors, or general market conditions. Conversely, U.S. Treasury bonds, if held to maturity, offer a fixed rate of return and fixed principal value, and their interest payments and principal are guaranteed.

There is growing evidence that kids eat healthier and move more when there are policies and practices in place that increase access to healthy foods and safe places to be active. It just makes sense. While childhood obesity affects the entire country, it does not affect all communities equally. For this reason, Voices for Healthy Kids is committed to reaching communities that are disproportionately affected by the epidemic. These communities include communities of color, high poverty urban and rural populations of all races and ethnicities, and Native Americans.
Voices for Healthy Kids helps communities make changes that enable children and families to eat healthier and be more active. We provide grants to state coalitions ready to mobilize advocacy campaigns. We also provide those campaigns with toolkits and expertise. To reverse the obesity epidemic, all young people must have opportunities to move more and eat healthier. Voices for Healthy Kids focuses our efforts in six priority areas in order to ensure this is possible.
Policy Priorities
- Improving the nutritional quality of foods and beverages in schools
- Reducing consumption of sugary beverages
- Protecting children from marketing of unhealthy foods and beverages
- Increasing access to affordable healthy foods
- Increasing access to parks, playgrounds, walking paths, bike lanes, school gyms and other safe places to be active
- Increasing children's physical activity levels when they are out of school.
Voices for Healthy Kids has a team of experts to support each of these six policy targets. These experts provide technical assistance for state and local campaigns, while strengthening national coalitions to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic.

I make a living playing in the band entertaining at weddings and parties. Thanks to my friend Scott MacDonald, for this photo of us at a recent reception.
For inspiration, I love browsing wedding blogs. Lots of them. But they all disappoint me.
Now don't get me wrong. They're gorgeous to look at.
Reading them provides endless inspiration to anyone involved with a wedding. Ideas for photography, decor, attire, flowers, invitations, catering, make-up, and so much more.
Several of my favorite wedding blogs are StyleMePretty, GreenWeddingShoes, WeddingChicks, and Junebug Weddings. These, and hundreds more, are active every day on Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter.
If you or a friend are involved with a wedding, please visit a few of these wedding blogs and tell me if you sense that something is missing.
"Sense" is the clue here. We have five of them, you know, and these blogs focus almost exclusively on sight. What about sound, smell, taste, and touch?
Granted, it's a challenge to capture those qualities in a photo, no matter how sensational it is. The accompanying text might be more effective, though. But I seldom read about more than the barest mention, if that.
Here's why I care enough to mention this. From my position in the band, I always see and hear that the music DOES make a difference. While the photos show the glamorous look of a wedding reception, the music maintains the "pulse" of the event.
If we can't sense this, we can't appreciate what it's like to be a guest there. And without a sense of the mood, we have a hard time selecting the music to entertain the guests.
In my blog I recently recommended that we use vivid language in our writing. More of this could really help all these wedding blogs capture the wonderful atmosphere of the weddings they feature.
Please understand, I think all these blogs are sensational. But think of how much more inspiring they could be.
How about YOU? Do you follow any wedding blogs? Where else do you look for inspiration? Is vivid writing helpful there?
CLICK here to tweet this post and join our Magnolia Jazz Band fans on Facebook. You'll receive daily tips for planning wedding and party music, and you'll get reminders for our public events.
Thanks for reading this article. I appreciate your interest and hope you get a few good ideas here. Got one or two? I'd love to hear what you liked. Please write me a little COMMENT below. Start a conversation -- I'll reply. Promise.
By the way, does a friend need help selecting wedding or party music? Do them a favor: EMAIL this article, or SHARE it on Facebook, LinkedIn, or Google+.

Basic landscape design elements for you Garden
Would you like to add curb appeal? Dreaming about landscaping a garden in your backyard? Don't know where to start? You're not alone. There's a lot more involved in landscaping a garden than putting plants in the ground.
Unless you are a landscape architect or landscape designer you're probably a little uncertain as to how to plan your garden, what types of plants to use, a proper color scheme to compliment your home, and how to create a show stopper design. Hopefully this article will help take some of the fear away and give you confidence as you create your new garden.
To help you understand the key elements that go into a successful landscape, including hardscape and softscape,you need to consider the following five elements:
Basic landscape design elements
Color, as defined by color theory. To show how color theory is used in landscape design the spectrum is often divided into four categories:
- Primary: reds, yellows, and blues
- Secondary: greens, violets (purples) and oranges
- Tertiary: mixtures of the primary and secondary categories
- Neutral: white, grays and silvers
Proper application of the color theory will influence the mood of your yard. For example, blues tend to be calming and relaxing and are excellent choices for a meditation garden. Warm colors add excitement to your garden.
A color wheel is a great tool when deciding what colors to use. The wheel is divided into slices that represent various color hues. You can use the wheel to select adjacent colors in the spectrum for unity, or you can choose colors directly across from each other on the wheel to add contrast. A great way to achieve unity in your garden would be to match warm colors such as reds, oranges, and yellows, or all cool colors such as greens, blues, and purples. A complimentary color scheme should also be considered against the color of your home or other structures; plants with green foliage against a red brick house for example is a great example of complimentary colors.
Color schemes are also an important factor for planning for changing seasons so you'll want to make sure your landscape designer considers color changes throughout the year when developing your garden plan.
Colors can also be used to visually alter distance perspective. Warm colors advance an object or area toward to observer. Warm colors placed near the foundation of a house would make the house appear closer to the street. Cool colors and deep shades recede and can be used to make a house appear farther from the street.
Form; the shape of the plant whether it is oval, columnar, spreading, broad spreading, upright, or weeping are examples of form. It is basically the shape and structure of a plant or mass of plants. Stuctures also have form so you'll need to take this into account while designing the area around them.
Line; the arrangement of plants and their borders. Line is related to eye movement or flow. Curvy or free flowing lines are gentle and graceful and create a relaxing natural feeling.
Scale; the size of an object or objects in relation to surrounding plants or structures. Where size refers to definite measurements, scale describes the size relationship between adjacent objects.
Texture; the surface quality of an object that can be seen or touched. Surfaces in your garden can include buildings, walkways, patio's or decks, groundcovers and plants. The texture of plants will differ between leaves, twigs and branches from coarse, medium or fine to smooth, rough, dull or glossy.
These five elements must be part of your landscape garden plan to ensure a beautiful garden that you can enjoy for years. Without proper planning you may end up with a mishmash garden that could take away from the beauty of your home and property.
Other considerations:
Themes; revolve around a specific subject. Any garden style can have its own theme.
The best thing you could do would be to hire a landscape contractor and get it right the first time or you could be throwing money down the drain by buying the wrong plants.
Styles; are another consideration you'll need to consider. The style of your home should be an important influencing factor of how you create your theme or style. Examples of styles are formal, informal, Spanish, English, or Victorian.
As you can see, there is a lot involved when planning your landscape garden. The best way to ensure creating the garden of your dreams is to hire a landscape contractor and get it right the first time. Then, all you'll be required to do is relax and enjoy the beauty.

Bye week for football. Anyone going? Only 7 US dates on this leg then it's Rock in Rio for them.
Megadeth is also playing Rock Fest this year in Cadott, WI. I'm trying to get some people to head up to that one for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Rock Fest
He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.
Yeah Maiden played Rock Fest last year. Great venue. Beers were affordable and good food choices. Camping is the way to go there. They have four bars on site with bands playing while the headliners are between sets. I'd go again but I have seen KISS multiple times already.
megadeth hasnt been good for years. i still go to their shows every chance i get just because i grew up listening to them

Springfield officials hear passionate pleas about photos
LAKEMORE — Springfield Local School District officials continue to hear emotional requests to move graduating class pictures now hanging in the high school to the new school building when it opens.
Currently, district officials are planning to scan all of the pictures of the graduating classes and have them available for viewing on a computer that will be set up in the new school's community room, which is accessible to the public through a front door. They could also be accessed online. Officials decided this electronic format would best preserve the aging and deteriorating pictures, and this decision was more cost-effective than reframing them.
In addition, district officials have stated if these pictures were to be hung in the new school, they would be placed in an area that would be closed off to the public during evening and weekend events, making them inaccessible to those who want to view them.
Among those pleading with officials at the May 14 Springfield Board of Education meeting to hang the actual pictures in the new school was Conway Anderson, president of the 50 Plus Club.
"You will make a lot of us very happy [if you hang the pictures]," he said.
He also told the board the club was willing to financially help refurbish the pictures.
Judy Dillon, another Springfield High School alumna, told officials she has 15 family members who have graduated from Springfield High School, and "it means a lot to people who have gone to school here [to see them rehung]."
Kathleen MacDonald, 75, adamantly told school officials, "We want our pictures up. We supported the levy for the new school and you need to support us."
Dorothy Snyder, a former teacher at the district who has children and grandchildren who have graduated from the high school, said, "If you don't get it, you are not a Spartan."
Rod Massey, who has three generations of family members represented in the graduating class pictures, said the pictures would be the "only thing left after the old high school building is torn down."
"You folks will be met with a growing sentiment to hang these pictures," he added.
Board members took turns in responding to the comments and refuting claims they did not understand the issue because most of them are not graduates of the high school. Board member Mary Lou Dodson is the only Springfield High School graduate, and board member Bobby Dinkins' wife is a graduate.
Board President Neal Hess said district officials are "not forgetting history."
"The way to tell history has changed, and we are telling it in a different manner and in a way that relates to today's generation," he said. "The decision to display history in an electronic format is in the best interest of the district."
Dinkins acknowledged the matter represented a "difficult decision."
Dodson, who said she has 40 to 50 family members who attended or graduated from Springfield Local Schools, said she is concerned the pictures will not be accessible to the public if they are rehung in the new school.
"I am going to pray about it and will make a good decision [on this]," added board member Cindy Collins.
Board member David Hofer said he believes the district can do both — hang the class pictures and make them available in an electronic format. He pledged $100, which he said would be matched by his employer, to an account to be set up to help pay to refurbish the old pictures.
Other alumni said they would donate to the account.
District officials said they would continue to review the matter.
In other news about the new school, Superintendent William Stauffer reported construction officials and district officials are continuing to review the issue about "bouncy floors" discovered last month on the second level.
Also, the board rejected all bids for the Phase III abatement package and approved awarding the bids and contracts for Package 21 (building demolition of the high school) and Package 20 (Phase II site work, including earth work, asphalt parking lots, concrete sidewalks, grass and landscaping).
Under personnel business, the board approved: the retirement resignations of Curriculum Director Ann Phillips and Guidance Counselor Laura Lach, both effective July 1; the reassignment of Mary Meadows as principal of Roosevelt Elementary beginning in the 2013-14 school year to replace retiring principal Lucy Brown; the resignation of Audio/Visual Director Frank Chenoweth, effective June 30; and the employment of Jolene Reinhart as curriculum director, with a three-year administrative contract, effective in the 2013-14 school year.
In other business, the board approved:
- a one-month contract with PRN Therapy Services to provide occupational, physical and speech therapy for one month for students in the Extended School Year program;
- an agreement with Healthcare Process Consulting Inc. to assist in managing the district's Ohio Medicaid School Program; and
- Memorandums of Understanding with Stark State College for the purpose of offering online and on-site at the high school dual enrollment courses to students in the next school year.
The board adjourned into executive session twice, including once at the beginning to discuss personnel and again at the end of the meeting, with no action taken.
The next school board meeting is set for June 18 at 6 p.m. at Spring Hill Junior High School, 660 Lessig Ave.
