What is in this article?:
- Will El Niño bring winter rain to California?
- No "Super El Niño"
- Changing climate
- What if?
- El Niño not always linked with heavier-than-normal rainfall in California.
- Meteorologist says climate changes are cyclical and therefore somewhat predictable.
Earth may be heading into a decades-long cooling trend, meteorologist says.
The Sacramento River water level in Red Bluff, Calif. is lower due to drought and measured releases from Shasta Lake. Severe El Niño events in the past have resulted in severe flooding along the river.
It may not be the kind of news growers like to hear, but rain during the period when California farmers harvest cotton and tree nuts this year is more likely than not, as the Pacific Ocean transitions into a short-lived El Niño pattern.
Forecasters are growing confident in the likelihood that El Niño will impact weather patterns this winter across California. Just how much and to what extent is uncertain. El Niño does not always portend wetter-than-average years.
WeatherBell, a private weather forecasting service, and the National Weather Service (NWS), suggest the likelihood of an El Niño will be 70 percent by September and closer to 80 percent by November.
What does it mean for California agriculture?
According to WeatherBell Chief Meteorologist Joe D'Aleo, the chances of an early rainy season in central and southern California are more likely than not, with a good chance that the weak to moderate El Niño event will peak by late in the calendar year. D'Aleo expects the rainy season to stretch into early 2015.
D'Aleo expects the short-lived El Niño could expand to bring above-normal precipitation to all of California by the January-February period before ocean temperatures cool below the El Niño threshold and West Coast weather patterns return to near normal.
The potential September start to this year's rainy season could impact California's cotton harvest plus tree nuts and rice, though D'Aleo says northern California could remain in a drought pattern until later in the year, thus possibly sparing California's rice crop from rain.
"We'll likely see our first Pacific El Niño system by October," he said.

You must have seen some elderly men with awfully artificial looking hair, courtesy hair transplant surgeries performed in 90s and the time before. Unnatural hair transplant results are rare but not impossible even in this era of technology. It is not the technique but the surgeon who should be blamed for any artificial looking hair transplant. The ultimate outcome of the surgery depends primarily on the experience and surgical skills of the person performing the procedure. Therefore, it is very important that you choose the right surgeon to get hair transplant done.
It is these some rare examples and some other myths encompassing hair transplant surgery that most people simply opt to live with a hairless thatch rather than going under the knife to restore a thicker and fuller head of hair. If you are also living with a belief that hair transplant is not a good procedure, and it is better to remain bald than having a hair transplant, just think again! Hair Transplant has revolutionized over the last couple of decades and today it is the finest, safest and most probably the only hair loss treatment that gives back natural looking, permanent hair.
The best way to find an experienced and skilled surgeon in the town is through research. Do your own research on internet. Also ask your friends and family for referrals. Then schedule consultations with the doctors of shortlisted clinics. Visit the clinics and not only discuss your case with the surgeon but also ask them to show you some before and after pictures of their past clients. The pictures will give you a fair idea of how impressive and natural looking results they are producing.
Hair Transplant is a safe, minimally invasive and virtually painless surgery performed with local anesthesia on outpatient basis. The surgeon first harvests donor grafts using FUE or FUT method and then carefully implants these grafts in the areas of need, keeping in mind the direction and thickness of existing hair. This allows him to produce extremely natural looking results. The surgery normally takes 6 to 8 hours, depending upon the technique used and the number of grafts required. The transplanted hairs start their growth after three months, and the results become fully apparent after one year.
For all those seeking services of best hair transplant surgeon in Dubai, Hair Transplant Dubai Clinic may be the right place to visit. With over 13 years in the healthcare industry, we are a leading hair restoration facility in the United Arab Emirates. We have a team of highly skilled hair transplant surgeons and technical staff with a vast experiencing of performing hair transplant surgeries. Our surgeons have specialized in the latest and finest hair restoration methods including Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Stem Cell FUE Hair Transplant.

Venice, 7 January 2014 – Following the opening of the first Italian boutique in Rome in March of last year, IWC Schaffhausen is now putting down roots in Venice. To underline the importance of the Italian market, the Swiss watch manufacturer has decided to expand its retail network at Piazza San Marco in Venice, the beating heart of one of the world's most beautiful and celebrated cities.
IWC has opened a boutique in Venice, at Piazza San Marco, a prestigious address in the heart of one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Visitors are invited to discover the fascinating world of the six IWC watch families, the art of craftsmanship and the appeal of fine watchmaking. "Piazza San Marco is certainly one of the best-known and most famous squares not only in Italy, but also around the world. Presenting our mechanical masterpieces, our philosophy and our tradition in such a historic and prestigious setting is therefore an honour," commented Beppe Ambrosini, Brand Manager of IWC Italy.
—Piazza San Marco 43, 30124 Venice
Located inside a historic Venetian palace dating back to the 16th century, the new boutique extends over a 50-square-metre area facing the bell tower of St Mark's Basilica, a perfect setting in which to highlight the prestigious timepieces of IWC Schaffhausen. Guests entering the boutique are welcomed by a comfortable lounge area. Using dark wood, chrome steel and leather, IWC architects have created an elegant atmosphere reflecting the clean lines of IWC's fine watchmaking. Furthermore, the team of designers has developed a project that fits perfectly in such a unique location by maintaining the original vaults, frescos and the 1950s staircase by Venetian architect Mario Venturini.
In addition to the vast collection of IWC watches, visitors will also find a wide range of Boutique Exclusive Editions, available only at the worldwide retail network of IWC boutiques.

Even as the Federal Reserve holds short-term interest rates near zero for the fourth year in a row, there are plenty of places to find decent income in the U.S. stock and bond markets. You just have to know where to look.
We found eight groups with average payouts ranging as high as 6% without the risk that often comes with reaching for yield. They include municipal bonds, with yields between 1% and 3%; utilities and real-estate investment trusts, at 4%; convertible securities, at 3%; high-dividend stocks, at 3% to 4%; master limited partnerships and junk bonds, at 6%, and preferred shares, at 5% to 6%. There are higher-yielding securities in all of these categories, including mortgage REITs and junk bonds that carry 10%-plus rates, but the rewards here may not be worth the risk.
What looks best for 2013? Given the risks in bonds at historically low-yield levels, it may be best to stick with blue-chip stocks, electric utilities, MLPs, and to a lesser extent, REITs.
In the bond market, junk still looks appealing, even as the average yield fell to 6% from about 20% at the start of 2009, when Barron's highlighted the market's appeal in a cover story. Junk may be the best house in a dangerous neighborhood.
Peter Hoey for Barron's
The tax legislation passed last week favors equity sources of income, which will be taxed at a top rate of 20%, plus a 3.8% Medicare surcharge. Most taxpayers, including couples earning less than $250,000, will still pay a top dividend rate of 15%. The top rate for ordinary income rises to 39.6% from 35% for couples earning more than $450,000. That rate also applies to interest income on taxable bonds, as well as distributions from master limited partnerships and REITs. It should be noted that investors can often defer taxes on MLP distributions.
It's hard to make a case for two of the lowest-yielding parts of the bond market -- Treasuries and mortgage securities -- because yields are in the 1% to 3% area, and both sectors could be hit hard if rates rise. Perhaps the best that can be said for Treasuries is that they're one of the few asset classes that are negatively correlated with stocks, meaning they tend to appreciate when stocks fall, and thus offer a hedge against a stock-market downdraft.
BlackRock favors dividend-paying stocks and junk bonds, while warning about the danger in Treasuries. "We believe dividend stocks look attractive," wrote BlackRock chief investment strategist Russ Koesterich last week. "With current payout ratios near historic lows and balance sheets quite strong, companies have ample ability to raise dividend payments to compensate investors for any changes in tax treatment." As for Treasuries, he wrote that interest-rate risk is high, as underscored last week when prices fell 4% as stocks rallied.
Here is an overview of the eight income sectors in order of their appeal.
High-Dividend Stocks
As more companies get serious about dividends, it's possible to put together an increasingly diversified portfolio of stocks yielding 3% to 4%. The obvious appeal of stocks versus bonds is that investors can benefit from rising dividends over time. Many big companies now have dividends that exceed their bond yields.

Electric utilities were the only loser in 2012 among the major sectors of the S&P 500, with a 2.9% drop -- and a 1% return after dividends. This year could be better because utility dividends look appealing at 4%-plus in much of the industry.
Major utilities trade at an average of 14 times projected 2013 profits, compared with about 13 times for the faster-growing S&P 500. Yet utility earnings are relatively predictable, in the low- to mid-single digits each year.

The group started the year strong, as the benchmark Alerian MLP index, which is heavy in energy pipelines, rose 4% over the first two sessions of 2013. More gains could follow after a tough 2012, when the AMZ fell 1% and returned 4.8%, including distributions. Reflecting strong historical returns in the sector, 2012 marked the only year in the past 13 in which MLPs trailed the S&P 500 in total return.
Credit Suisse analyst John Edwards has been bullish, pointing out that the yield on the AMZ index, now 6.5%, looks appealing relative to most other income securities. While weak prices for natural-gas liquids have hurt some MLPs, much of the sector that is involved in domestic energy transportation has experienced little or no impact. Growth in distributions industrywide is expected to average about 7% this year.

Junk Bonds
Wall Street generally expects subdued returns of about 7% this year after another strong year in 2012, when junk returned more than 15%. The challenge is that yields are low, at 6%, and prices are high, averaging about 105% of par value. This limits upside because most issues can be redeemed at par prior to maturity.
While many junk investors are reaching for yield in order to get higher returns, it may be best to play it conservatively and avoid debt-laden companies like Caesars Entertainment czr -1.3605442176870748% Caesars Entertainment Corp.

Convertible Bonds
Convertibles are an overlooked asset class because of limited issuance of new bonds and complexity, including securities that automatically convert into equity. Less than $25 billion of converts have been issued in each of the past two years because most corporate treasurers can offer low-rate "straight" debt without giving investors an equity kicker.
"There are some good opportunities," says David King, manager of the Columbia Convertible Securities fund (PACIX). He's partial to a Chesapeake Energy 5¾% convertible preferred (CHKVZ), which recently traded at about $900, below its $1,000 face value, for a 6.4% current yield. The Chesapeake convert offers a lower-risk way to play a revival in natural-gas prices than the company's common shares. King also is partial to a 2⅞% convert from biotech company Dendreon (DNDN), recently trading below 75 cents on the dollar and a 13% yield to maturity in 2016. Dendreon developed a novel treatment for advanced prostate cancer that has had disappointing revenues. The company isn't far from cash-flow break-even and could be a takeover target.

After another strong year in which the sector returned 18%, investors may want to tread cautiously because REIT valuations aren't cheap in absolute terms or in relation to the S&P 500 index.
But REITs now trade for about 16 times 2013 funds from operations, a cash-flow measure favored by the industry. That compares with a multiple of 13 for the S&P 500. REITs look even more expensive at about 20 times adjusted funds from operations, a more conservative calculation of cash flow than FFO that subtracts certain recurring expenses like office-leasing costs.
REITs, now yielding an average of 3.6%, still look good relative to Treasuries. Industry fundamentals are favorable amid higher rents and limited new construction, while financing costs are low. "REITs are trading below private-market values, and they remain a haven for people concerned about inflation. Real estate is a hard asset," says Alex Goldfarb, an analyst at Sandler O'Neill.

Municipal Bonds
With yields on top-grade munis similar to those on Treasuries, the relative appeal of the $3.7 trillion market is good, but absolute yield levels in the 1%-to-3% range aren't great with inflation running at about 2%.
Munis got a break when the congressional budget deal lifted top tax rates on the highest earners and thus heightened the appeal of tax-free income. To top it off, legislators chose not to tax the muni-bond interest of the highest earners, as some had feared.
That helped produce a rally on Wednesday, as long-term munis gained about 1% even as long-term Treasuries declined 1%. "While we are unlikely to see significant capital appreciation in municipal bonds, their after-tax yields are attractive, and munis remain a solid source of income," wrote BlackRock strategist Koesterich.
The idea of taxing muni-bond interest is dormant but not dead. If enacted, such a tax on munis likely would cut their demand, potentially lifting rates as much as half a percentage point and crunching long-term bonds. Many state and local governments face a large and festering pension problem. Given the risks, muni buyers might want to avoid long-term issues and stick with a fund like the Vanguard Intermediate Term Tax-Exempt fund (VWITX), which has low fees. Many investors favor individual bonds, but the downside is limited liquidity if holders ever need to sell.
Preferred Stock
With banks solidly profitable and the bond market strong, the preferred market has rallied sharply since the financial crisis, dropping yields on most bank issues to less than 6% from double-digit levels during 2009. Barron's has written favorably on preferred several times in the past four years.
Issuance has surged as banks have taken advantage of lower rates to lock in long-term equity financing.

While dividends look safe and remain tax advantaged, most preferreds don't look attractive thanks to their interest-rate risk.
The typical $25 retail preferred usually has a bad combination of a perpetual maturity and a five-year redemption feature at the issuer's option. "The risk-reward profile of these securities does not appear attractive; their upside is capped by the call option, but they could sell off significantly in a rising rate environment," wrote Barclays credit analyst Shobhit Gupta in a recent report.
Two exceptions are unusual preferreds from Wells Fargo and Bank of America that yield more than their regular issues and effectively aren't callable unless there is an enormous rise in common-stock prices. The Wells Fargo Series L has a 7.5% dividend rate and a price of $1,225, way above its face value of $1,000. It yields 6.09%, almost a full point above the bank's other preferreds. Bank of America's 7.25% Series L trades at $1,135 and yields 6.34%. Columbia's King notes that if the banks want to redeem them, they likely will have to pay investors a premium above the current price.

Modern culture's worship of "how-to" pragmatism has turned us into instruments of efficiency and commerce—but we're doing more and more about things that mean less and less. We constantly ask "how? and still struggle to find purpose and act on what matters. Instead of acting on what we know to be of importance, we wait for bosses to change, we seek the latest fad, we invest in one more degree. Asking how keeps us safe—instead of being led by our hearts into uncharted territory, we keep our heads down and stick to the rules. But we are gaining the world and losing our souls. Peter Block puts the "how-to" craze in perspective and presents a guide to the difficult and life-granting journey of bringing what we know is of personal value into an indifferent or even hostile corporate and cultural landscape. He raises our awareness of the trade-offs we've made in the name of practicality and expediency, and offers hope for a way of life in which we're motivated not by what "works," but by the things that truly matter in life—idealism, intimacy, depth and engagement.

Turn off that devil music!
Members of the Russian protest punk group Pussy Riot are set to make their first post-prison appearance in the United States at the Barclays Center in February, but one local priest does not want those heretics anywhere near his flock.
"This is satanic," said Archpriest Serge Lukianov of the Orthodox New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia Church in Bensonhurst.
The anarchist rockers made headlines in 2012 when the Russian authorities arrested three of them for filming a raucous anti-Vladmir Putin music video in a Russian Orthodox Church cathedral in Moscow. The group became a cause celebre over the course of the trio's subsequent trial and imprisonment on hooliganism charges. Two are now fresh out of the pokey — the third was released in 2012 — and planning to say a few words at the Feb. 5 Amnesty International concert in Prospect Heights, but Lukianov says their message of protest against the church and its role in government is nothing to celebrate.
"It is appalling that people are making them into heroes," he said. "Anyone who desecrates a church, synagogue, or mosque is not a hero."
International civil liberties organizations, including Amnesty International, say the two years Nadezhda "Nadva" Tolokonnikova and Maria "Masha" Alyokhina spent in a Mordovin prison were unjust attacks on political speech, but Lukianov thinks their jailing was called-for.
"They have their own opinion, but to desecrate the holiest of holy churches is completely out of line," the priest said.
Another prominent Russian took a more tempered view.
Pussy Riot has the right to protest wherever it wants, but probably should not have picked a beloved cathedral for their now-famous performance, according to Assemblyman Alec Brook-Krasny, the first and only Russian-born legislator in New York state.
"Freedom of speech is freedom of speech," said Brook-Krasny (D—Coney Island).
Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina were supposed to be held until April 2014, but were released in December, which they said was an effort by Putin to clean up his dictatorial image ahead of the Winter Olympics in early February. The rabble-rousing pair said they are lending their radical bona fides to Amnesty International because the organization had their backs while they were on the inside.
"We will never forget what it's like to be in prison after a political conviction," the twosome said in a statement. "We have vowed to continue helping those who remain behind bars."
They plan to "inspect the conditions of U.S. inmates" during their time here, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

LifeInTheKeys Review
I ordered these percale sheets and was pleasantly surprised by the quality for such a reasonable price. I only have percale as I love the crisp feeling and they just get better with each washing. Personally I don't mind that they wrinkle, it isn't an issue for me. Once in a while I might touch up the pillow cases with the iron. I compared the actual size of the flat sheet to others and found these to be a few inches longer and wider. I was so surprised when I opened the package and the fitted sheet has a 1 1/4" wide elastic band the entire way around the sheet. Overstock should definitely mention this in the product description. I have never seen this on any sheet before. I'm sure these sheets are almost sold out as the only color choice in any size was white. No problem, I ordered them any way and I'm very happy I did!

Ewe'd think he'd be more sheepish, getting fleeced into watching this…
Maybe it's because I have never watched any YouTube instruction videos that I don't get this. Anyone?
It's a play on Youtube "unboxing" videos where people film themselves opening the box of something they bought like the latest technogadget wizardry. It is the basest form of narcissism on the interwebs if you ask me.
Unless, of course, she has been waxing herself. Yipes.
Thanks for the explanation, though I thought the basest form of narcissism on the interinfohighwaynetwebthingy was posting pictures of your food, which I saw someone do two tables away from me the other night.

I bought a new HP Photosmart printer and my Lenovo laptop has no CD drive. I don't know which of the printer drivers I found in a google search to download so that I can install the printer. Can someone help? Thanks.

Hello! My name is Ariana and I'm here to help you in any way
that I can. It would be my pleasure to work with you. You'll get
the truth, whatever it is, good or bad as well as uplifting advice
and creative solutions. If a reading does not indicate the desired
outcome, I can usually see what needs to be done in order to
rectify it and get you back on track. I can help you identify
growth opportunities and expand your spiritual awareness.
I invite you to check out my popular Tarot listing so you can see
for yourself that I am the real deal and dedicated to my clients.
Read the feedback that others have so graciously left when I've
helped them.
I have been giving psychic readings for fifteen years. I am a
clairvoyant empath and Tarot cards are a passion of mine. My guides
assist in my readings by communicating with your guides so I can
pass their messages onto you. I also provide channeled readings for
intense messages direct from Spirit (via email only). I am a deeply
spiritual woman who is attuned to the energies and mysteries of the
universe. I am compassionate and I really care about helping
people. I want to help YOU answer your questions about your life
and make a positive difference!
After a long, painful, traumatic, enlightening, educational,
healing and ultimately life-affirming journey, I wanted to share
everything I'd learned with those who were looking for answers. You
already have the answers within you; you simply need help knowing
where and how to look. My guidance is based on universal truths
that transcend human knowledge. As long as you believe in
something, you are welcome. :-)
The price of this listing is lower than my others to facilitate
longer calls. Growth can not be rushed.
