Time to Bet on Insurers?
By Catherine Seifert
Most insurance costs related to the 2001 terrorist attacks were assumed by the property-casualty and reinsurance sectors. September 11 stands as the industry's largest single loss event, with net loss estimates ranging between $30 billion and $70 billion for all insurers, although it will take years to determine the ultimate payout.
Standard & Poor's has a fairly positive investment outlook on the property-casualty insurance industry. Our favorable outlook for the group is due in part to positive forces -- namely, stronger pricing and improved claim trends -- in the personal-lines area such as auto and homeowners insurance. (Personal lines make up about two-thirds of the property-casualty insurance business, while commercial lines make up the rest.) Also, for investment purposes, personal-lines property-casualty stocks are considered fairly defensive.
Despite some profit-taking in the wake of the September 11 attacks, the S&P Property & Casualty Insurance Index slightly outperformed the broader market in 2001. Year-to-date through Aug. 30, the group declined 5.5%, while the S&P 1,500 Super Composite index fell 19.5%.
After strengthening considerably in anticipation of increasing premiums rates in late 2001, shares of many property-casualty insurers dropped together with the broader market. Given this short-term weakness, at S&P we're somewhat more bullish on the group, particularly since underlying pricing fundamentals remain strong. Plus, given that demand for most types of property-casualty insurance isn't particularly economically sensitive, the fortunes of many companies in the sector don't depend heavily on an equity-market recovery.
These positive factors are balanced by continued uncertainty regarding the issue of coverage for future terrorist attacks, as well as potential U.S. government involvement with private insurance markets in these activities. To reduce risk exposure, many insurers are stripping out terrorism coverage from policies as they come up for renewal.
This has prompted calls for the government to take on coverage for extreme terrorist events as a public service. In Britain and many European countries, government-backed mutual-insurance companies to cover potential terrorist attacks already exist.
Costs associated with settlement of asbestos-related claims could also restrict profitability, as could claims from directors' and officers' liability coverage in the wake of widespread corporate-governance scandals. We're also somewhat concerned that financial difficulties of certain overseas reinsurers may restrict their ability to pay claims.
Net written premiums in 2001 increased 8.1%, to $324 billion, from 2000. As a result of continued price increases, we anticipate that net written premiums will rise 15.7% in 2002, to about $375 billion. As of Dec. 31, 2001, the industry had $289.6 billion in policyholder surplus (or capital) supporting about $324 billion in written premiums. The industry was leveraging its capital at about a 1:1 ratio of net written premiums to policy surplus. Assuming a 2:1 leverage benchmark ratio, the industry had about $128 billion in excess capital.
We anticipate that ongoing claims related to September 11, coupled with the impact of investment losses in insurers' bond portfolios, will further erode the industry's capital base and increase leverage. This increased leverage will continue to drive up premium rates.
S&P has a 5-STARS (buy) ranking on Allstate (ALL ). Stocks with 4-STARS (accumulate) rankings include Chubb (CB ), Transatlantic Holdings (TRH ), and American International Group (AIG ).

Under a variety of circumstances, a landlord may be held liable for bites by tenants' dogs. A dog bite victim can sue a landowner or property manager if there was a vicious dog living on the premises, a defect like a broken gate that allows a dog to escape and injure someone, or a broken promise to do or not do something like fix a fence or prohibit pitbulls.
A vicious dog is dangerous, as is any dog that gets loose and runs around the neighborhood. Landlords have a legal duty to inspect their property and fix or get rid of dangers.
Attorney Kenneth M. Phillips recently won a case against a landowner and property management company in Stockton, California, after a mother of three was killed by a pitbull. The owner of the pitbull had been evicted but was living in a shed on the defendants' premises, and the driveway gate could not be secured shut, allowing the dog to attack the woman. Phillips based the lawsuit on the defendants' failure to fix the gate. He proved that the defendants never inspected the gate despite knowing there were medium-sized dogs on the property.
The only exception is a California residential landlord who doesn't know about a vicious dog because it was not there at the beginning of the lease and was never brought to the landlord's attention afterwards. This exception applies only in California.
Phillips recommends that landlords require tenants to maintain a policy of renters insurance that covers their dogs and has a limit of at least $100,000. He also suggests using a "dog clause" in leases that would lower the risk of liability by negating the factors that these lawsuits are based on. A comprehensive one can be downloaded at this website.

Vision Critical Debuts on Honomichl Top 50
VANCOUVER, BC – June 28, 2011 — Vision Critical, a global research and technology firm and pioneer in the market intelligence field, was named as a Honomichl Top 50 U.S. market research firm. Vision Critical, the global leader for providing on-line marketing research communities, made its debut as the 27th top market research firm in the US, as published in the 41st annual business report of Marketing News, an American Marketing Association publication.
"Vision Critical is proud of its transformative force within market research and thrilled to be recognized for our contributions among this prestigious list of market research firms," said Angus Reid, chief executive officer and chairman of Vision Critical. "We attribute much of our growth and success to our ability to foster deep connections for brands. Using our innovative approaches to cutting-edge research, we ensure our customers have access to real-world, authentic brand insights so they can make strategic and insightful decisions regarding their brand's lifecycle."
Vision Critical enjoyed a 30 percent increase in US revenues and a 29 percent increase in ex-US revenues in 2010, bringing its total worldwide research revenue to $62 million. This is a sharp contrast to the average revenue of the Honomichl 50, which had a cumulative average revenue increase of 3.3 percent.

Shake and shake the ketchup bottle
None'll come, and then a lot'll
— Richard Armour
The latest figures show inflation remains well under control: in both Canada and the United States, consumer prices have risen by less than 2% over the last year. If so, it's not for lack of trying.
Led by the U.S. Federal Reserve, central banks across the developed world have been pumping vast amounts of money into their economies since the financial crisis, at a rate that in most normal times would be expected to produce much higher inflation. Yet not only has there been no inflationary surge, there's no sign of it anywhere on the horizon.
Though interest rates have begun to rise — the yield on U.S. 10-year Treasury notes is now nearly 3% — this has much more to do with a strengthening economy, and the prospect of a "tapering" of the Fed's monumental $85-billion a month program of bond purchases, than any expected increase in inflation. The spread between 10-year Treasuries and their inflation-indexed equivalent offers a good measure of inflation expectations: it has slightly narrowed over the past year, from 2.31 to 2.15 percentage points.
Still, just because inflation hasn't broken out yet doesn't mean it never will: shake the ketchup bottle long enough and something's bound to come out. "You simply cannot keep real short-term interest rates negative for this long," the economist David Rosenberg warns, "without generating financial imbalances and inflationary excesses down the road." The rapid runup in commodity and asset prices this year may be a harbinger of increases in consumer prices further down the road.
Indeed, Rosenberg suspects that's the Fed's intent. "The reality," he argues, "is that we now have a monetary policy that is dedicated towards getting inflation higher over the near and intermediate term." Financial markets may not have picked up on this yet, just as it took years for markets to grasp that Paul Volcker really meant to get inflation down in the 1980s. But "it would be an exercise in futility to bet against that desire," Rosenberg says.
Whether inflation is or is not about to make a comeback, the more alarming trend is in the number of commentators, some prominent economists among them, openly advocating it. Nobody wants a lot of inflation, of course: nobody ever does. Just "a little," say 4% to 6%.
The rationale: the recovery is being held back by "deleveraging," as public and private sectors both seek to pare back the heavy debts they took on in the last decade. What simpler way of relieving them of that burden than by devaluing the currency in which it is denominated? Even at 4% per annum, inflation halves the value of the dollar inside of 18 years.
What a clever trick — only nobody tell the bond markets, okay? Because if indeed people get wind that governments are conspiring to welch on their debts and steal savings in this fashion, they may start to demand a higher interest rate to compensate. In the same way, please keep it a secret from labour negotiators, who may not sit idly by and accept a hefty annual cut in their living standards, but may insist on offsetting wage increases.
We are back to the 1970s, the last time people thought "a little" inflation would do us some good. At the time, there was believed to be a trade-off between inflation and unemployment. And indeed, the data seemed to support it: there was a statistical relationship between the two, memorably summarized in the Phillips Curve.
What a clever trick — only nobody tell the bond markets, okay? Because if indeed people get wind that governments are conspiring to welch on their debts and steal savings in this fashion, they may start to demand a higher interest rate to compensate
But it turned out the minute you tried to move along the curve, ginning up higher inflation in hopes of reducing unemployment, the relationship broke down. All you got was higher inflation. Why? Because it wasn't so easy to "fool the workers" as all that — maybe you could at first, but not for long, and then not at all. The economist Bob Lucas won a Nobel Prize for pointing out, in effect, that people don't just blindly carry on as before in the face of policy makers' efforts to engineer higher inflation, expecting that because inflation has been low in the past, it will be in future. They take the hint. They form expectations about future inflation, and act accordingly.
And yet we are assured that, this time, policy makers will be able to spring a "surprise" on the markets. Good luck with that. And at what cost, if they do? Central banks have spent the last several decades building up precious credibility with economic actors: when they say they will do something, people believe them, making it easier for each side to plan around the other's anticipated behaviour. All this would be squandered in a moment if this mad course were pursued.
Surprise, of course, is another word for deception. Inflation is, at bottom, a lie; an economy based on inflation is an economy based on lies. Every wage, every price, every promise to pay comes with a pair of crossed fingers: you'll get this much, I swear (minus whatever inflation takes out of it). And since nobody knows quite how much to expect in the way inflation — central banks having proven themselves untrustworthy — everybody grows to mistrust each other, and to waste precious resources trying to guess where inflation is going. There's a remarkable correlation between days lost to strikes and inflation: when inflation is high, management and labour both give themselves an extra margin of error, and in the gap lies room for conflict.
No thanks. We've no need to go back there. It may sound like an easy way out. But a little inflation has a way of becoming a lottle.

Center Grove burns extra fuel to keep buses warm
As January winds down, the average temperature is headed for one of Indiana's coldest months in more than thirty years.
Schools have canceled or delayed classes multiple times throughout the month, stressing academic calendars and transportation budgets.
At Center Grove, where drivers began starting school buses before 5:00 a.m. Wednesday to get them warm before students get on, the extra fuel is adding up.
"We're seeing an extreme cost for fuel," said Transportation Director Rick Pederson. "We need to get out here early - about 4:30 a.m. to get these buses warmed up and make sure they're working."
Those early starts represent not only an added cost in fuel, which Pederson said is "significantly higher" than last year, but the extra man-hours needed to start the buses early.
Replacing batteries and fuel additives also adds to Center Grove's costs.
But the end game is making sure students are safe and comfortable for their ride to school.

Luis Suarez bit Giorgio Chiellini during yesterday's Uruguay-Italy game at the World Cup. Or perhaps Chiellini drove his shoulder into Suarez's face. That's Suarez's story, and he should stick to it.
Suarez is arguably football's best player. He scored 31 goals in 33 English Premier League matches for Liverpool FC last season. Thirty-one goals tied a league record for a 38-game season.
I'm a Liverpool fan. I don't care that Suarez bit Chiellini. Nor do I care that he's bitten foes three times.
Suarez should be punished. He will be. But he didn't knock out his wife in a casino. Or commit sexual assault. Or murder anybody. When it comes to athletes behaving badly, what Suarez did is bizarre, but way down the list.
Suarez's biting mechanism is odd. But doctors managed to save Chiellini's arm.
Liverpool FC and its supporters should close ranks, not point fingers. It was amusing when ex-Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler (120 goals for LFC) spoke of the embarrassment Suarez has caused the club.
Fowler was suspended twice in 1999: Once for pretending to snort the goal line after scoring, once for seductively shaking his backside in front of an opponent who was rumored to be gay. Fowler is no one to judge disrepute.
Suarez is rumored to be a transfer target for Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid. It remains to be seen how his latest transgression affects that.
I hope Suarez continues to play for Liverpool FC. I hope he conquers whatever demons plague him. Mostly, I hope Suarez just keeps scoring goals. There's nothing I enjoy more than watching Suarez play football.
Suarez is obviously a bit crazy. But that's part of what drives him.
No excuses. What Suarez did can't be defended. Punish him and move on. Suarez is going to play football somewhere. It might as well be for LFC. The game will never flow through him anywhere else like it does at Liverpool.
That said, this is really funny:

HPV jabs for boys FAQs
HPV vaccination
Girls aged 12 to 13 have been offered HPV vaccination since September 2008.
The jabs are usually given at school and involve three injections over 12 months.
The current vaccine used, Gardasil, is effective against two strains of HPV which cause around 90% of genital warts as well as giving protection against two types of HPV which cause more than 70% of cervical cancers.
Why include boys?
The Throat Cancer Foundation says vaccinating girls and boys would reduce the impact of the most dangerous strains of HPV and prevent many cases of cervical, oropharyngeal, anal, penile and vulval cancers.
The charity says female only vaccination "is inadequate, discriminatory and detrimental."
Vaccination works by having enough people protected to stop a disease spreading, even if not everyone is protected. Experts call this 'herd immunity'.
The Throat Cancer Foundation says it is wrong to assume that vaccination for girls also protects boys.
What's the evidence?
A French study published this month in BioMed Central Cancer suggested that vaccination of both boys and girls against HPV, when compared with only vaccinating girls, could reduce HPV-related cancers in males by 65% and genital warts in males by 71%. However, researchers said the incremental benefits of adding boys to vaccination programmes are highly dependent on the vaccine coverage among girls
Comparing research studies can be difficult because of different methods, health systems, vaccination programmes and vaccines used. However, a study published in the British Journal of Cancer in 2007 suggested that extending HPV vaccination for boys in Brazil provided a 4% further reduction in cancers.
In any vaccination programme, uptake of immunisation is important for it to be effective. UK research in 2012 by University College London looked at the likely take up of HPV vaccine among boys. Only 10% said they would not have a jab, mostly because they didn't feel at risk or see the need for it. 41% would get vaccinated but 49% were unsure.
What's happening in other parts of the world?
Last year, Australia became the first country to extend its HPV vaccination programme to include 12 and 13-year-old boys. The Australian health department estimates that a quarter of new HPV infections will be avoided by extending the vaccine to boys.
The US health regulator CDC also recommends HPV vaccination for all boys aged 11 or 12 years, and older males who were not vaccinated when they were younger.
What's happening in the NHS?
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advises the government on vaccination. On its advice, the make of HPV vaccine was changed last year and it is now consulting on further changes.
In a statement, a Department of Health spokesperson says: "The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation keeps the eligibility criteria of all vaccination programmes under review, and research is underway to support a future assessment of vaccinating men who have sex with men against HPV. However, there are currently no plans to extend HPV vaccination to males, based on an assessment of available scientific evidence.
"Vaccination of boys was not recommended by the JCVI because once 80% coverage among girls has been achieved, there is little benefit in vaccinating boys to prevent cervical cancer in girls. 80% coverage for the full course of three doses of the vaccine was achieved in the first year of the HPV vaccination programme in 2008/09, and has since exceeded that level."

text: by Adina Stirling Apr 24, 2013 Comments (1) AIChE Topics: Professional Development Share This Post: The following article is presented by the Societal Impact Operating Council (SIOC), to foster discussion and provoke thought. We welcome your comments and input. Last week at a lunch I struck up a conversation with a senior professor sitting next to me. A few minutes into the conversation I learned that the professor, an attractive woman with delicate silver lining around her hair, was distraught about a young assistant professor in her department. The assistant professor, a medical physician, teacher, and researcher, was in the senior professor's words, reaching her "tipping point." The young assistant professor had two young children and was pregnant with her third child, and had started to feel the heavy weight of responsibilities at home. "She's feeling completely overwhelmed. I've tried to talk her into staying and working part-time, but another person in our department told her it couldn't work." The scenario facing this young, already accomplished assistant professor is not uncommon and plays out in corporations and academic departments around the country. A linear career path - where individuals pursue an undergraduate and then advanced degree, enter the workforce and then stay for thirty years - is not necessarily common for women in STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine) professions due to competing priorities. The problem is that many women, perhaps trying to 'lean in' to their careers, tell themselves that they can either be 'all in' or exit the workforce when other priorities arise. At the same time, companies and academic departments reinforce this notion by being inflexible with work-life balance options. Why? When does productivity really peak? One primary reason is that we have a model of career success that is rooted in assumptions about the age at which productivity is highest. Cognitive scientists know that our brain mass is most dense at age 25. It has long been thought that as we age and lose brain mass, our cognitive abilities lessen, and so it is very important that individuals persist in their careers through their 20s and 30s because this is when they will make their most important contributions to science. Recent research in cognitive science suggests that this model of decreasing cognitive ability as early as our late 20s is wrong. Studies suggest that cognitive ability remains strong in our 30s, 40s, and even 50s, suggesting that the once 'pressing' need to have individuals focus solely on their careers in their 20s and early 30s, precisely when women are reaching child bearing age, is misplaced. Taking the long-term view A new career model needs to take hold where we take a long-term view of career success. Women should not feel as though a flexible work arrangement - such as working part-time when their children are young - indicates their best opportunities to make scientific contributions are foregone. Additionally, employers should not view individuals that modify their work arrangements to be more flexible as though they are cheating their organizations. Yet far too many employers take precisely the view of some in the academic department of the young medical professor mentioned above. In the case of this young medical professor, staying or leaving the workforce shouldn't be an "all or nothing" proposition, because her best career achievements are likely before her, not behind her. What's your experience with the "all or nothing" approach? Log in to post comments Comments kavita (not verified) Jul 9, 2013 THis is true in every part of the globe especially with women. Most of the corporates realise this and make arrangements for work from home and other flexibe options . but the women who are not in such environmnets are forces to quit Log in to post comments

We here at SELF are basically obsessed with music -- that's why it's the theme of our entire July issue -- so we get pretty pumped about new albums. Whether you're looking for some fresh tunes to boost your workout or to just accompany your hammock lounging, the releases this month are as sizzling as the burgers at your BBQ.
When you're (still) recovering from festivities post-Fourth of July weekend: Jay-Z's "Holy Grail (feat. Justin Timberlake)" from Magna Carta Holy Grail, dropped July 4
Just because you spent the long weekend celebrating Independence Day, it doesn't mean you can't bow to a monarch -- in this case, the reigning king of hip-hop. After the fireworks have ended, you'll still be oo-ing and aah-ing over Jay-Z's new music. Even his marketing strategy is innovative: Samsung users got the album for free three days before the general release.
When you're getting ready to tackle your first triathlon: Sara Bareilles' "Brave" from The Blessed Unrest, drops July 16
Sure, your biking might not be Tour de France-level yet, but you've been rocking those brick workouts like a boss. Upbeat and inspirational, songstress Sara Bareilles' lyrics are like a best friend cheering you on. Plus, after your victorious finish, you can mellow out with some of her chill piano-based ballads. #YouGotThis!
When you're sipping lemonade in the backyard: Court Yard Hounds' "Sunshine" from Amelita, drops July 16
Sisters Emily Robison and Martie Maguire have the perfect breezy melodies to make a relaxing afternoon even sweeter. The new album from the Dixie Chicks' offshoot delivers the trademark gorgeous harmonies and not-too-twangy country sound that have kept us swaying to their music for years.
When you're taking a long walk on the beach: Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros' "Better Days" from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, drops July 23
The new tunes by everyone's favorite hipster-like music collective will have you shuffling along the shoreline. The band provides much more than just the soundtracks to countless commercials (you hear their hit "Home" whenever you watch TV); with their third album, they'll provide the soundtrack to your summer. Sunshine, sand and smile-inducing songs — what more could you want?
When you're road-tripping with your besties: Selena Gomez's "Come & Get It" from Stars Dance, drops July 23
Put the windows down and the volume up as you cruise around with your friends and shamelessly sing along to this summer playlist must. Feel free to pretend that pop princess Selena is one of your crew — with her newly edgy, fun vibe, she'd fit right in.
When you're dancing around after too much iced coffee: Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines (feat. T.I. & Pharrell)" from Blurred Lines, drops July 30
It's already the unofficial anthem of summer, and it's impossible not to shake it when this racy, infectious track comes on at the coffeeshop. It's sexy and soulful, like a catchier version of JT's most recent release. Between Robin Thicke's smooth vocals and the bumping beat, you know you want it.

CANADA FX DEBT-C$ firms after stronger-than-expected Q3 GDP
* C$ at C$1.0568 vs US$, or 94.63 U.S. cents * GDP 2.7 percent in 3rd quarter, vs forecast of 2.5 percent * Bond prices lower across the maturity curve By Leah Schnurr TORONTO, Nov 29 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar strengthened to a session high against the greenback on Friday, backing further away from recent four-month lows after data showed the domestic economy had more strength than expected in the third quarter. The 2.7 percent annualized pace of growth - the fastest rate in two years - was driven mainly by consumer spending and business inventory accumulation, though there were also signs of a rebound in business investment. While the reading beat market forecasts, it also came on the heels of a disappointing second quarter. Averaging the second and third quarter gives a growth rate of a little over 2 percent, "a fair reflection of the underlying growth trend in the economy," said Doug Porter, chief economist at BMO Capital Markets in Toronto. "The 2.7 is a bit of an outlier and I suspect it will come down to earth somewhat in the fourth quarter," he said. The Canadian dollar was at C$1.0568 to the greenback, or 94.63 U.S. cents, stronger than Thursday's close of C$1.0587 or 94.46 U.S. cents. The Canadian currency has lost more than 2 percent since late October, hurt by a retreat in the Bank of Canada's hawkish tilt and expectations the U.S. Federal Reserve will soon move to withdraw some monetary stimulus. The loonie hit C$1.0603 on Wednesday, its lowest level since early July. The policy shift from the Bank of Canada has markets expecting interest rates will stay at 1 percent into 2015. Friday's GDP report puts a "slightly healthier glow" on the economy than the Bank of Canada suspected, making the central bank likely to stay neutral at their meeting next week, said Porter. "I don't think there's a compelling case for them to ratchet up the dovishness yet." The Bank of Canada will release its interest rate decision on Wednesday. The two-year bond dipped 2 Canadian cents to yield 1.100 percent, while the benchmark 10-year bond was off 15 Canadian cents to yield 2.556 percent.

Wild Card Slots II
My post Friday generated a relatively large number of comments. Rather than answer them individually, let me provide a little more insight here.
The purpose of the new system is to provide broader distribution of merit-based slots in situations where single teams win more than one Championship qualifying award over the course of several Regionals.
With the limited number of slots we have for Championship, we had to make some difficult decisions regarding how many specific situations we could cover while still notifying teams quickly of their eligibility for a slot and ensuring we could keep the team count to 400. Reasonable people can disagree about whether or not we covered all the right situations, or if we should be trading waitlist slots for merit-based slots, or if this provides appropriate consideration to teams attending earlier regionals, but I see this as a step in the right direction starting where we are, right now.
Also, let me put what I said in the earlier blog regarding pre-qualified teams in another way. Pre-qualified teams, by definition, have qualified for Championship before the season has started. There is no case in which qualifying for Championship before the 2013 season starts has any effect on this system. So, if you have a question in your mind that starts 'For Wild Card slots, what if a pre-qualified team….', stop, and tell your mind that pre-qualification, with respect to this system, has no relevance. Only performance within the season itself matters.
In addition, as noted in my blog, District teams are eligible for Wild Card slots when they go to traditional Regionals, just like everyone else is. Finally, teams given Wild Card slots will have the same shipping rules and privileges as all other teams going to Championship.

|Adoptables, #2 and #3 open!
Instagram : www.instagram.com/kodaicinc
Society6: society6.com/kodaic
I am a human. I live on a planet called Earth. I love sushi and dachshunds, along with many other things! The Walking Dead is a favorite show of mine. I wave my geek flag proudly. I hate math with a passion. If you want to know how many oranges can fit inside the sun, you wouldn't know, because they would all burn up. There. Question solved.
Thanks so much for passing by, favoriting, or watching! It's all very much appreciated! I also like llama badges, so go right ahead and toss them to me. I'll toss one back!
Please do not watch me and expect a watchback in return. I don't subscribe to that, and I would prefer if you watch me based solely on the fact you enjoy my work. If you don't care for what I do, absolutely no harm done. We all have our own tastes. But I would rather someone hate what I do and not watch, than someone watch and not even care.
Tools of the Trade - Photoshop CS5 and a Wacom Intuos 4 tablet for my digital art, and usually a mechanical pencil and paper for my traditional art. Although I have come to use watercolors, some gouache, Faber Castell ink pens, Sharpie paint pens, a white gel pen, and more as well. Generally more sketch-type things are put up, however.
Policy on Gift Art - I more than welcome gift art, and thank you so much for even considering it (if you have)! It's honestly humbling, to think anyone would make anything for me. All I ask is if you're doing one of my characters, please respect them. Both creator and creations would be deeply grateful.
Just as a clarification, when I say respecting them, I mean I would rather not see them in lewd or otherwise very nsfw concepts, you get my drift? But by all means, make them look crazy, shower them with ooze. Have fun with them. It's what they were made for (besides, I already do that to them, they don't mind). Just make sure you link it to me, I'd always love to see!
If you have requested something and it is not in the owed art list or you want to see how things are rolling, feel free to note and check in with me!
Commissions - Very Open! Check out my list!
Trades - Feel free to ask, but know there's not a guarantee I'll always say yes. Not only because of life, but I also put a lot of heart, time, and work into my art. I'd like something around the same quality.
Requests - Closed. If in a rare blue moon I want to do some, you'll know through a journal.
Collaborations - Again, feel free to ask, but the same guidelines from the trade section applies. It also helps if we've had at least a few conversations.
Kiriban - Not for a while.
1. Finish L.A.
2. Give all my characters ref sheets.
Owed Art list
1. Kiriban for Vongrell
2. Trade for Rae-77
3. Commission for alridpath
4. YCH for Pandalirious
Expected Art list
1. Trade from Rae-77
Q: What is your name, how old are you?
A: Hayley, and I'm still rocking the dorkiness at 19!
Q: What programs/tablet do you use?
A: Photoshop CS5 and a Wacom Pro tablet. I'd really like to get Paint Tool Sai soon though.
Q: How long have you been drawing?
A: Like many other artists, pretty much since I could grasp and topple crayons. Although I only got really serious in the last couple years or so.
Q: Are you self-taught?
A: Well, yes, I've learned a lot of things from seeing how other people work and personal experimentation. But I've also taken classes that have helped a great deal as well. So I'd say it's a mix of the two.
Q: How long have you been drawing digitally?
A: Hummm... several years, I believe. It's been a while, for sure.
Q: What do you draw?
A: Humans! Humans everywhere. But I am partial to dragons, birds, canines, and dinosaurs. Creatures, really. I used to be big into dragons and horses when I was younger.
Q: What won't you draw?
A: Basically anything that warrants a warning; excessive violence, nudity, or just anything super vulgar or questionable. I don't mind some blood though, as you'll see when perusing my gallery. Demon-related things are iffy for me too, it depends.
Q: What do you like?
A: A lot of things! I love everything from manga and anime to Sherlock, to video games like Bioshock: Infinite and Halo. As for what I like artistically, my favorites are where you can find my taste. It's eclectic.
Q: Can I use your art for ect?
A: Unless I've specifically given you the art in question (in which case, you're the owner, do as you please), please don't use any of my art for anything without at least asking me. I probably wouldn't mind as long as you credited me, but again; please, please ask first. It's courteous, and I'd really appreciate it.
Q: Can I copy one of your works? I'll credit you!
A: This is something that, beyond perhaps attempting to learn something from the style in question, I adamantly disagree with; especially if you're attempting to understand anatomy or the like. It does nothing but make you learn mistakes.
So in short: if you are truly dead set on it, fine. I can't stop you. But if you have to copy one of my pieces, please credit. Also, don't use anything that was owed or gift art.
Additionally, since we're on the topic; those who copy (without credit), steal, or otherwise attempt to claim ownership of any one of my drawings or characters will instantly be blacklisted and action will be taken. No exceptions. You will garner no support, no respect, and will lose any chance of art from me. Ever.
Q: Will you make me/do ect?
A: I only do requests when specifically asked for in one of my journals. Please don't beg excessively. It won't get you anywhere.
Q: What can I call you?
A: Feel free to call me Hay, Hayhay, Monkey, Koda, Kodai, Kody... whatever floats your boat! As long as it isn't something obviously mean, I'm good! I promise I don't bite!

Back in November of last year I wrote about an experience I had providing expert testimony on a land-use case, where a family wanted to keep their pet llamas and goats available for their child who has autism, despite not being able to obtain a variance from the local zoning board. For purposes of background, you can (re)read that story here.
I picked up the latest American Journal of Occupational Therapy this morning and was interested to find an article by Mona Sams, Elizabeth Fortney, and Stan Willenbring. The article describes a pilot study incorporating animals in OT sessions for children who have autism (Sams, Fortney, & Willenbring, 2006).
Basically, the study neasures incidence of language use and social interaction in therapy sessions that incorporate animals vs. therapy sessions without animals. I applaud the effort because this is one of those anecdotal issues where most people agree that animals can be an effective methodology, but there really is a lack of good research on the subject.
Unfortunately, there are some gaping methodological holes - some alluded to in the article and others not. They appropriately mention the non-blind conditions. Also, the primary author may have a business interest that could potentially contribute to bias.
Most significantly, I wonder if incidence of language use and social interactions would increase for any child when they were interacting with animals. The likelihood of vocalization may be greater when you are petting a llama than when you are swinging on a swing. The authors allude to this issue, and it would be interesting to measure this effect more specifically.
The authors make some references to sensory integration theory, but I am not certain that I see the connection. I understand that they were discussing Ayres' concept of inner drive and the inherent sensory aspects of the activities, but this does not necessarily make the intervention 'sensory integration.' That is another topic, I suppose.
In summary, the study is a stepping stone, despite its limitations - and for this the authors should be congratulated. In the future it would be nice to see someone do something with more rigorous conditions. Perhaps someone could try another outcome measure, such as purposeful engagement - the idea being that for the population tested there would be a measurable difference in behavior that might not also be seen if you were to expose typically developing children to the same stimulus condition. Specifically, the levels of purposeful engagement for typical children in different activity conditions (animal play vs. sensory motor play) would be at certain levels that would presumably be equivalent. I would expect that typically developing kids would demonstrate equivalent purposeful engagement across activity conditions.
In the next study, the hypothesis for the testing condition could be "Children who have autism will engage in a greater amount of purposeful engagement during animal assisted therapy than during sensory motor play. Of course, 'purposeful engagement' is the operator that needs definition and measurement parameters.
I mention this because if I had such a study in my hands at the time of my testimony for that case, I would have been able to make an even more convincing argument. Instead, I could only argue anecdotal evidence and discuss the point from a disability rights and policy perspective. Real clinical evidence can make a significant difference in people's lives - and that is why we need to have more of it.

File this is the small world and coincidence file: Mona Sams (one of the authors of the article cited) is also a SUNY at Buffalo graduate (class of 1964)! According to a SUNY at Buffalo news source she made a bequest to the occupational therapy department to provide funds for lectures and student research in the incorporation of animals in occupational therapy.
I thought it was interesting and wanted to spread the good news here.

Megan Racing Downpipe Question?
I Just Baught A Megan Racing Dp And I Have Heard That They Will Bolt Up To The Stock Flange Because I Have A Custom Catback That I Did My Self And Left The Stock Flange. Has Anyone Else Tried This Will It Not Bolt Up Or Will It Leak Or Any Recomendations Thanks.
I don't know anything about that, I'm pretty sure stock flange will bolt up, but in the future can you please use proper capitalization(It Is Really Annoying When You Type Like This)
I wanna know this too. Pump

If the DP you are buying states it mates up to a stock flange and you played with your midpipe all the way back and the flange is still the same... Why would there be a problem ?

Despite being outnumbered and out-manned by a much larger school, the Taylor County Bulldogs found plenty of positives to build upon following a 34-14 Kickoff Classic loss to Class 7A Leon Friday night in Perry.
Leon jumped out to a 20-0 lead at the first half before the Bulldogs battled the Lions to a 14-14 draw in the second half.

Food plot?
I am new to this forum, I have a ranch in Hardin
Texas just coming off the trinity river bottom (monster bucks)
I am eating to hunt the back of it with a bow.
I want to know what food plot i should plant?
I want it to be relatively tall so the deer feel
Safe. What food plot would be tall and atract deer, that I
could plant soon here so that it grows and stays adequit
All year.?
Sorry buddy I have no idea of the climate of Texas and what can and will grow.
Well, what food plot in general, is tall like 3 foot?
Brassicas get about knee high but are only attractive after a frost which raises the sugar content in the plant. If you have any drought conditions forget about planting. Deer will eat anything so I wouldn't worry about the height of the plants. Buying a couple of auto-feeders spacing them around your property may be more cost effective. Corn will draw deer and give them carbohydrates. If you do plant food plots get a soil ph check, fertilize after you get the soil check so you know what type of fertilizer to buy. With enough rain, clover is by far the best at drawing deer in. With proper care clover should give you about 4 years before you have to re-plant. Over seeding in the spring probably makes sense too.
My experience with feeders in east Texas
is that they don't work. Every deer feeder I've had, I haven't
seen any deer go to. We have heavily wooded forests that
are loaded with oak trees so they eat lots of acorns.
I'm looking for a food plot that is tall and that deer love. And will draw them
out in during the daytime hours, the reason I want a tall plant is
so they feel comfortable to come out during the day, to make them feel like they
have cover, something that's tall but won't block a shot with a bow.
So it will grow tall by bow season.
Here is a product you might like gets 4'+ tall and is made for spring planting.

SummerTimeOut Featuring Adrian Ritchie
Editor's Note: Coming off the program's first Sweet 16 appearance in the NCAA Tournament, there is a lot of anticipation for the 2011-12 women's basketball season as well as the expectations it holds. Every Tuesday throughout the summer, Assistant Director of Athletics Communications Jill Wunrow will sit down with one player to talk about the expectations they have for themselves for the upcoming season and what fans can expect to see from them individually.
Junior, Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.), 5'11", F
Last season you broke into the starting lineup and were named MVP of the Best Buy Classic. How much confidence did that give you heading into your sophomore season and what does it tell you about your abilities heading into your junior campaign?
"I had a ton of fun in the Best Buy Classic and it was a definite boost to my confidence. Combined with making the starting lineup, that tournament was the beginning of showing Green Bay fans the player I want to be for this program."
What did you learn about yourself, if anything, after going through your injuries last season?
"I learned how to enjoy the little things. It doesn't take long after being injured to realize how fortunate we are to play in a Green Bay uniform. When the ability to compete is taken away, you can't help but feel empty. So for me it was about learning how to soak up every second and know that I can still make a significant impact whether I'm on the floor or not."
You improved your defensive game throughout last summer and it showed on the court this past season. What do you plan to work on throughout the summer to help this team and improve your game?
"I want to be more than just a 'shooter'. My focus has been on having a consistent 'bring it on' mentality and that has helped me become more aggressive. I also want to be someone my teammates see as a leader. Whether that means they need me to step up vocally or get a stop on defense, I want to be someone the girl next to me knows she can count on."
What do you attribute your solid three-point shooting to and is there anything you'd like to change about it?
"I like what Hannah said about shooting being 80% mental. It is so true. After my freshman season Coach Divilbiss nicely told me that my shot was, hmm what was the word he used? I think it was ugly. Thanks Coach! But his point was that it didn't matter because I believed the ball was going in. Since then he has put a lot of time into working with me and improving my shot pocket and my consistency.
As far as change, I think if I want to get better and see a significant difference I have to be constantly open for it. I am still tweaking a couple things because my shot isn't quite where I want it to be yet. Overall, the technique I have learned combined with my mentality is why I feel I have become a three-point threat for our team."
This team graduated two of the best team leaders in Kayla and Celeste. As seniors, how do you think Julie and Hannah will lead this team? What have you learned from them (Julie and Hannah) since your time here at Green Bay and what potential do you see in them?
"Although Julie and Hannah were not seniors last year, they were still leaders. They played such a huge role in our success and as a team we looked up to them. It is a new year and it is exciting to see the way they (Julie and Hannah) are grasping their senior roles. Our team has become even closer this summer and it is a huge tribute to those two. Last summer we didn't lose any players and gained one so it is a little new for us but Julie and Hannah have made it fun and rewarding. Together they make a great combination, each having their own style yet complimenting each other well. Our team knows that all we need is for them to be the best Julie and the best Hannah they can be and that will get us to where we want to be at the end of the season."
What are you most looking forward to during the 2011-12 season?
"I am looking forward to showing the world who we are. We know that we might look a little different without Kayla, Celeste, and Heather but that doesn't change how hard we have worked so far and where we want to go. It's going to be a new year, with new girls stepping up and I am excited to see the things this team will be able to accomplish."
What can Phoenix fans expect from Adrian Ritchie during her junior campaign?
"Fans can expect a more aggressive and focused Adrian Ritchie. I feel that I have learned so much from last year, the post season especially. I am as confident as I have ever been and I think that it will show when the end October finally rolls around in 122 days."
It's no secret and no surprise your parents are at every possible game no matter what the distance. Your dad made that nationally talked about trip to see the game against Michigan State in last year's NCAA Tournament. This season your younger sister Jillian will be playing college ball at Michigan Tech, how do and will your parents decide which games to attend for both of you when they fall on the same days?
"My parents are about to take their dedication to a whole new level. It may seem like it will be harder for them, but we are all so excited and happy for Jille. They will definitely coordinate and make sure that we each have one of them there to watch us play. They have always been so good about that. My senior year might be a little different. They will say they'll come to more of my games because it's my last year but I can't help but think it's because I'm there favorite, (Ritchie said laughing). Either way, my parents are the best and I am so thankful for everything they have done for me and my sisters. This experience wouldn't be the same without them."
Other than basketball, what are you looking forward to doing in your spare time during the summer or what have you been doing to keep busy this summer?
"I am the business and marketing intern at the Aurora Sports Medicine Center so that consumes most of my time during the week along with online classes and summer workouts, of course. The rest of my time and weekends have been spent with family and enjoying my teammates, I have been having a blast."

… I am taking this time to reflect on the past year of my life.
The highlights:
January: We took a family vacation to Mexico with another family and had a blast.
My oldest son turned 11, and we celebrated at the arena with a skating party.
February: I embarked on a new fitness regimen of Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 every day following the program, and eating clean. Following Tosca Reno's program.
March: Continued eating healthy and exercising, and was seeing results…
April: Turned 32, had one of the most depressing birthdays 😛 I am sure it will be the tune of the rest of my life. lol Hubby turned 41 this month too!
May: We took the trailer out for the first time of the year (Record breaking for us to go on May Long Weekend since we bought our trailer!)
June: My youngest, Stinky turned 8 years old, and we had a pirate Party for him at the arena.
July: My blog, Pickynikki.ca was born after a lot of time and effort to decide what I wanted to blog about, finding a name, IPs, HTML coding and a HUGE learning curve! I enjoyed it, but spent many days on my bum, working on it, and gained some weight in the process… so much for a healthy living blog 😛 We went camping again, and I even blogged about it!
August: A week at Buffalo Lake, a week in Black Elk Hockey Camp for Stinky and a few of his friends. Which turned into a camping by the arena as the long days were killing me! I actually really enjoyed it, and loved seeing Stinky improve. We also went on a road trip to Kitimat again, and helped celebrate my younger cousin's wedding, and I made her Wedding Cake with the help of my wonderful sister
September: School started again for the kids, and myself. I have a great position again, and am thankful for the wonderful kids, and people I work with. We had a lot of great things happen this month! From Kitties, to fresh eggs from our Chickens! Life was good!
October: We decided to renovate our kitchen, and it was a month of lots of work, and decision making. It was the beginning of a stressful fall/winter! Halloween was nice as Hubby was home, and we took the kiddos out trick or treating. It was Bubba's first year going with a group of friends… Costumes were Lego Man, and Harry Potter We also bought Bubba a Polaris Rzr 170cc, and Stinky attended another hockey clinic. I did not blog much this month here but here is the recap.
November: HELL! lol It was hard. From making more kitchen decisions, and finding nothing was going right. As well as working more than normal, and trying to advance all my commitments as I had a looming knee reconstruction coming slated for Dec/Jan on top of the kitchen renovation was a little too much for me.
My Dad flew out here and helped us deconstruct, we had a huge opening made in our kitchen. We took out a support wall to help create our dream kitchen. He was very helpful, and I wish more of our time was spent enjoying each other's company than on Renos
December: It came, and the kitchen was delayed… and delayed some more… Waiting for contractors was driving me nuts. My kids were upset that Christmas seemed like it wasn't happening. All we had was a sad Charlie Brown christmas tree till very early morning on December 24th. The counters arrived on December 21st, flooring was installed on the 22nd, and appliances arrived and installed on the 23rd. We had to find another plumber than the one who we contracted to come last minute to install a faucet, and the gas line for the new range so we would have running water and a stovetop during the holiday break. As December ends our kitchen is still not completed… lighting not installed, and frustrations and stressed have peaked.
I look forward to the new year… a year of new beginnings. A fresh start. I am hoping as I write a January recap that I will be posting final pictures of my kitchen, and telling you all about how much I am back on track in my health and fitness adventures.
My Goals for 2012:
- Write daily on the blog. I would like to post 365 days with a feature of "What made me happy that day… " As this blog is about my journey to find what makes me Happy, and Healthy and all that entails.
- Make time for me: Exercising, Reading, Shaving legs, Plucking eyebrows ect… lol Sorry if TMI!
- Spend time with my family
