Recensioner för andra bostäder av denna värd
Was a great place to stay at. Was a bit difficult to find it at first, because we've got no number for the office, but the place was great and clean, and the staff really helpful
Location of the apartment block is very accessible, it's in the alleys opposite Sogo Fuxing, the building adjacent to this Japanese restaurant. In any case, customer service is prompt and there should be little issue in getting someone to guide you to the apartment.
We stayed on the 16th floor, view was much better than expected, clear view of the 101 tower.
Size of room just right for the four of us, and it's great to have basic amenities like the kettle, hairdryer, hangers etc. In room wifi works well too.Toilet was small but clean.
One small comment, the washing machine drying function does not work, so you may have to air dry your clothes in the room while out.

Last night our Altar Guild held a lovely event- Advent by Candlelight. It was a wonderful way to welcome in the season of Advent.
Our fellowship hall was filled with round tables. Each table had a hostess. The hostess was in charge of setting the table, including the centerpiece, dishes, decorations and favors. It was up to the hostess how the table would be decorated, as long as it included candles. The entire evening was held in candlelight.
I had a family theme to my table.
My mother lent me the dishes. I have Christmas dishes, but only a setting for four. My mom had a setting of eight she was willing to lend me. The silverware was a wedding gift from my parents.
My grandma embroidered the tablecloth. She gave it to me for my high school graduation. I love the classic white against red look.
And my dad's beautiful wood work was my centerpiece. I took the wooden nativity he made and put it in the center of the Advent wreath. The trees, angels and candle sticks were all made by my dad too.
Looking at it without the candle light, though, really doesn't do the table justice.
It was so beautiful in the room when all the candles were lit. The tables all had their own special touch to them- it was so fun to see what the hostesses had come up with.
After enjoying some DELICIOUS desserts, coffee and punch, we had a service in the church centered on the Advent wreath. The church was lit by candles, and interspersed in the service were special solos, including flute and violin.
I loved starting Advent this way. It was a great way to get centered, and remember why we're celebrating. It was a time to sit back and step out of the Christmas rush. Advent is a time of preparation, and this service reminded me of that. I was so blessed to be a part of it!

Despite controlling much of the second half, thanks to the inclusion of Sasha Kljestan and better attacks prompted by the back four, the Americans couldn't get another ball behind Jose Manuel Miranda in Cuba's goal.
Honduras sits in first place by virtue of beating Panama, 1-0, with a very late goal by Hendry Thomas in the first game of a doubleheader in Tampa, Fla. With another round of Group A games set for Thursday, and fatigue shaping the selection decisions of Coach Peter Nowak, his task is further complicated by the need to turn superiority into maximum points.
Sharper finishing would have meant victory. The USA outshot Cuba, 19-6; Adu hit the post twice and skimmed two other low blasts just wide; and at least three good opportunities to score on headers weren't exploited.
Jozy Altidore, who started the match as the lone forward in a 4-2-3-1 formation before taking a crack to the back and coming off at halftime, scuffed his one clear chance. Yet his prowess and presence so occupied Cuba's central defenders that Adu, playing as the central man in a trio strung across midfield with holding mids Dax McCarty and Maurice Edu in support, bossed the match in the first half.
After just 55 seconds Adu hit the post with a bending left-footed shot but got his angle and swerve right 13 minutes later after playing a corner kick to Robbie Findley. With the return pass he whipped a shot that Charlie Davies evaded at the last moment, and it slipped between Miranda and the far post.
Miranda turned away two more sharp Adu efforts as his teammates slowly clawed their way back into the match, and in the final minutes of the half a somewhat tired USA midfield couldn't close down a Cuban push forward. Alvarez found space in the zone assigned to left back Hunter Freeman, and when Pat Ianni couldn't deal with the resultant low cross, Linares steered the ball into the net.
At halftime Sacha Kljestan replaced Altidore, joining Edu, Adu and McCarty in midfield in a 4-4-2 formation, with Davies and Findley - who had been playing as wingers bracketing frontrunner Altidore - moving up top. McCarty, very useful and tidy on the ball if not always strong and shrewd enough challenging for it, continued to find teammates with insightful, accurate balls, and Adu found space to test Miranda.
Chad Barrett came on for Davies, whose three flops eventually yielded a caution, in the 61st minute. He gave the Americans more heft and height and ability to hold the ball, yet his best touch was a delicately flighted cross to the far post in the 70th minute that dropped toward Findley, only for substitute defender Loanni Cartaya to head it out of danger. Earlier, Adu had scorched the Cuban offside trap to send Findley through all by his lonesome but Miranda easily blocked his tepid shot.
Right back Kamani Hill, who got forward occasionally but like counterpart Freeman didn't always defend smartly, hit a cross that Barrett banged into the net, but this time the Cuban offside trap worked and the flag went up. Linares earned a second caution, unjustly, by kicking a ball into the net in the aftermath of a close offside decision. The Americans launched a final offensive with the man-advantage, but with the final chance of the match, Adu bent a free kick just off-target.
Group A play resumes Thursday. Cuba plays Honduras and the Americans meet Panama, a nation that has troubled the USA this decade in World Cup qualifying and Gold Cup play.
There are options for Nowak. Right back Marvell Wynne might get a run, midfielder Stuart Holden could add zip and zeal to the midfield flanks, attacker Sal Zizzo sat out because of an injury, defender Michael Orozco can hit pinpoint passes out of the back. If Altidore is healthy he can utilize chances that went squandered in the first game.
In 90 minutes the Americans created enough opportunities to win three games. Good goalkeeping frustrated them, yes, but just as often they self-destructed. Their hiccup game has come and gone with just one point to show for it. There's no more margin for error.

If option traders are right, U.S. Airways may be preparing to roll down the runway and fly higher.
optionMONSTER's Heat Seeker tracking system showed heavy activity in the January 15 calls yesterday, plus the February 16 calls. The big trades were selling in the January 15 calls for $0.63 and buying in the February 16s for $0.85.
Long calls lock in the price investors must pay to buy shares, so they can generate significant leverage when their underlying stock moves. But they also lose value as expiration approaches, so yesterday's trader rolled the January position forward by a month to avoid that time decay . (See our Education section)
The trader paid about $0.22 and now has an additional month of upside exposure in the airline. LCC fell 0.2 percent to close at $15.13 yesterday, but earlier in the session it climbed to $15.50--its highest price in almost five years.
More than 57,000 contracts traded in the session, about 6 times more than average. Calls outpaced puts by 48,000 to about 9,000, which further reflects the session's bullish sentiment.
Disclosure: I own LCC calls.

SHE is the apple of her mother's eye, but she is also a small step in the survival of her species.
The 10-day-old Western Lowland gorilla, named Kipenzi - Swahili for "Precious One" - appeared in public for the first time yesterday at Taronga Zoo.
The fifth offspring of her mother, Kriba, Kipenzi is the eighth gorilla born as part of an international breeding program at the zoo, which began in 1996.
A primate keeper, Lisa Ridley, said it was particularly significant that the latest arrival was female. "It adds to the genetic pool that we can keep breeding from," she said. "She pretty much ensures there is going to be a gorilla population in the future, because they are critically endangered at the moment."
Habitat loss to illegal mining, logging and forest clearing for farming in Africa had put the species under threat.
"The roads driven into dense forests where gorillas survive bring with them hunters and poachers," Ms Ridley said.
"Gorilla and other bushmeat is turning up in Europe where people pay top dollar to eat [such meat]."
The breeding program at the zoo is carefully managed to ensure genetic diversity, with the females being given contraceptive tablets to prevent them becoming pregnant.
The birth would also help the other gorillas in the exhibit to learn mothering skills..
"Kriba is an excellent mum," Ms Ridley said. "And the group is very interested in watching what is going on."
Taronga Zoo runs the 'They're Calling You' program, which encourages people to recycle mobile phones to reduce demand for coltan, a mineral found in everyday electrical devices and mined in Africa, to the detriment of the gorillas' habitat.

Gabrielle Union was nearly Olivia Pope.
The actress - who now stars in BET's "Being Mary Jane" - made it to the final crop of actresses considered to play the coveted lead on ABC's "Scandal."
"Yes - me and half of black Hollywood [were up for the role]," Gabrielle told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Wednesday's Access Hollywood Live. "I didn't get it, but, you know, I was [in the top] five or six or so."
PHOTOS: The Sexy Stars Of 'Scandal'
Gabrielle explained why the role of crisis manager (and White House insider) Olivia was so desired by black actresses.
"It's very rare to have a black female lead who gets to do stuff, who's not the sassy desk sergeant or the sassy best friend or the wise, sage, Confucius-like character delivering sage advice at key points," she said with a laugh. "So to have the opportunity to even audition for a role like that was awesome."
PHOTOS: The Stunning Ladies Of Primetime
Despite losing the role to Kerry Washington, Gabrielle was encouraged by the way "Scandal" creater/writer Shonda Rhimes held auditions.
"She did it with such respect. It was like, OK, I didn't get this. But instead of wallowing in self-pity, [I found] inspiration," she said. "And then literally, the 'Being Mary Jane' script came about... it's everything I thought I wanted."
The actress said Kerry's powerful performance as Olivia inspires her to work as hard as she can for her new BET role.
"Kerry does such an amazing job. She set the standard so high," she said. "I got this opportunity and now I wanna run with it. But it's because of Kerry.

"She's inspired me - well, not just me, I'm sure millions," she added. "She KILLS that role!"

Mail and Guardian
The ruling coalition of President Alassane Ouattara looks set to sweep to victory in a parliamentary election in Côte d'Ivoire on Sunday, easing the new leader's mammoth task of rebuilding a nation crippled by war.
The vote will mark the first time since 2000 that the West African country has been able to elect a Parliament. It is seen as a crucial step toward recovery after a decade of conflict and political turmoil.
"For the government, the challenge now is to complete this process, to end the crisis and show it will never happen again," said Maurice Faye, an Ivorian political analyst.
Ouattara won presidential elections in November 2010 but was only able to take the reins of power in April after fighters backing him invaded the economic capital Abidjan and captured ex-leader Laurent Gbagbo, who had rejected the results. Read more…

DAYTON, OH - The Iona College men's basketball team's Ohio woes continued in a 96-84 loss at Dayton in non-conference action at UD Arena. The Gaels (5-4) fell to 0-7 in the state in three-plus seasons under head coach Tim Cluess.
Sophomore A.J. English poured in a career-high 30 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the field and 8-of-10 from beyond the arc. He scored Iona's final 15 points of the contest in the last 4:31 of the game. Senior Sean Armand had his seventh straight 20-point effort with an even 20. He was 7-of-17 overall and 3-of-10 from beyond the arc. Armand added a team-high six assists to go along with three rebounds. Senior Tre Bowman scored 12 of his 14 points in the first half. Senior Mike Poole posted seven rebounds to lead the Gaels.
For the second straight game the Maroon & Gold never led. Dayton used an 8-0 run just under six minutes into the game to run out to a 24-12 lead with 11:06 to play. Its largest lead was 15 on two occasions, one coming after a Khari Price three-point field goal with 6:20 to play to make the score 39-24. The Gaels cut it to within six points after two English free throws with 1:18 to play capped a 17-8 run. Dayton answered with back-to-back layups and freshman Ryden Hines free throw on the Gaels last possession made the halftime margin 51-42.
A 17-7 Flyer run to start the second half opened the lead to 68-49 just seven minutes in. Dayton's largest advantage was 23 points with 7:25 to play. Iona ended the contest with a 24-13 flurry. Following a David Laury free throw, Armand scored the team's next eight points, followed by the final 15 from English.
Dayton's Dyshawn Pierre had team-highs of 22 points and 14 rebounds including eight on the offensive end. He also matched the team lead with four assists. Vee Sanford came off the bench and had 17 points and four assists. Price added 16 points and was 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. Scoochie Smith and Jordan Siebert added nine a piece.
Despite shooting 51.7% from the field on the offensive end, the Gaels allowed the Flyers to shoot 55.4%. The crucial advantage for Dayton was a 40-26 lead on the boards. The home team muscled the smaller Gaels inside and held a 52-34 advantage in the paint.
The Gaels continue a four-game road trip Sunday at the Mountain West Conference's Nevada in Reno. Tipoff is 4:05 pm on the East coast.

CHAPEL HILL � T.J. Yates threw two touchdown passes in the decisive first half, and No. 21 North Carolina routed The Citadel 40-6 on Saturday night.
CHAPEL HILL � T.J. Yates threw two touchdown passes in the decisive first half, and No. 21 North Carolina routed The Citadel 40-6 on Saturday night.
Ryan Houston had touchdown runs of 5 and 3 yards, and Shaun Draughn rushed for 118 yards while helping the Tar Heels roll up 375 yards total offense. They had a 261-30 advantage on the ground.
Da'Norris Searcy returned a late punt 77 yards for a touchdown. Yates was 9 of 20 for 114 yards in three quarters, with scoring passes of 18 yards to Johnny White and 21 yards to Greg Little for the Tar Heels.
They played their first opener as a ranked team since they were No. 12 in 1998, and were upset 13-10 by Miami of Ohio. This one was nowhere near that close, after a second quarter in which North Carolina scored on four straight possessions.
The halftime stat sheet was all Tar Heels: They led 23-0, outgained the Bulldogs 204-73, held a 108-16 advantage in yards rushing and forced four turnovers.
After that, the only thing in question was whether North Carolina could polish off its first shutout since beating Duke 38-0 in the 1999 finale. Sam Keeler spoiled that with a 42-yard field goal with about 7� minutes left, then added a 28-yarder in the final minute.
Bart Blanchard was 21 of 37 for 117 yards for The Citadel, but threw three first-half interceptions. Two were picked off by Deunta Williams � including one in the end zone that thwarted the Bulldogs' best chance for a touchdown.
At least The Citadel kept things closer than it did its last time out � a 70-19 loss to eventual national champion Florida in last year's finale. That wasn't much consolation for a Championship Subdivision team looking to beat one of the big boys for the first time since 1992.
This was a punishing all-around effort from the Tar Heels. They entered coach Butch Davis' third season hoping to take the next step toward becoming an annual contender in the Atlantic Coast Conference � but also looking for a way to replace three receivers taken in the NFL draft.
Yates spent his night trying to spread the ball around. Six players caught passes from him, although nobody had more than two catches.
He capped the Tar Heels' second possession of the second quarter with his scoring pass to White to make it 10-0, before hooking up with Little shortly before halftime for the play of the game.
Yates was flushed right but found Little outside the hash marks. The one-time running back spun around one defender and shook off three arm tackles while cutting back across the field for his first receiving touchdown since 2007.

Like my P2000 (non SK) V3 very much overall, but dislike its (long pull, long reset, 12lb first shot) trigger. Its certainly safe though, and is reliable as the day is long.
Good luck with the SK!
That is an awesome gun. Handled one before. I would like to have a P30.

That's the gun I was initially looking for when I decided to buy a 40 cal. They must be very popular, because I never could find one in my local shops and ended up buying a XD40sc. I like the XD, but the HKP2000sk has everything I wanted. If I ever do find one, I may just pick it up anyway.
Range Report Please!!!!

No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.
I shot one of these before and it was great. a little snappy on the recoil which i think is pretty typical of a .40 caliber subcompact but it shoots comfortably and accurately. I personally like the DA/sa capability which i don't see often on the compact guns. the one thing i do dislike is the magizine release is a but stiff and takes some getting used to. On my fullsize .45 the release is large and smooth as butter so i guess i am a little spoiled from that.
The best carry gun I've ever come across. I love my SK. It's been my CCW for about four years now. One of the few designs that have no flaws or weakness IMHO. Enjoy your new HK.
BTW...do the P30 mags fit the SK, or are they different from the P2000 and USPc mags?

Recent workshops brought together natural sciences collection managers and conservators from far and wide to learn techniques for preserving wet specimens – those preserved in fluids like ethanol and formalin.
Fluid preservation workshops underway at Melbourne Museum's conservation lab.Source: Museum Victoria
The workshops, hosted at Melbourne Museum, were supported by the Australian Institute for Conservation of Cultural Material (AICCM) and taught by UK natural history conservator Simon Moore. Dani Measday, MV's Natural Sciences Conservator, says "you can't learn easily natural sciences conservation in Australia, so people are really jumping on the chance to build skills in that area." With participants from Canberra, Sydney, Brisbane and even New Zealand, it was also a rare opportunity to meet others working in the field. "Museum people love to talk shop," says Dani, who toured the visitors around MV's collection stores. "There was definitely a lot of discussion about what people were doing in their museums. It's great to build up a network of people you can call on when you get stuck."
Over four days, the workshops addressed some of the major problems of wet collections, one of which is dehydration as the preserving fluid evaporates. "The ones that were really dehydrated tended to come out of jars with rubber gaskets in the lids, which can perish quite quickly," says Dani. "Or they can get twisted and end up with a really poor seal." A highlight of the workshop was seeing dehydrated specimens returned to full size under Simon's guidance.

During the workshop, Dani worked on a juvenile koala specimen affectionately nicknamed Drinky Bill. This koala was originally collected from French Island and came to the museum in 1957 via the Healesville Sanctuary. In the intervening years, poor Bill lost all of his alcohol and was a dry fist-sized husk rattling around an empty jar.
The process of rehydration, explains Dani, begins with placing the specimen in warm water with a surfactant. "It's basically a detergent to break down surface tension to help water penetrate into the specimen." The cells expand as they take in water, and the specimen returns to its original shape and weight over several hours.

Next, the specimen is re-fixed in formalin to stop the decay. Then it's back to ethanol in a series of baths of increasing strengths. "You need to move it through several different concentrations of ethanol gradually. If you go straight from water, it's a big change in pressure for the specimen." Dani's koala spent a few hours in each of 10, 30 and 60 per cent before the end point of 70 per cent. To remove any air bubbles and to make sure the koala was submerged, Dani used a vacuum chamber conveniently housed next door in the preparation department. "The preparators use it to remove bubbles when they're casting in resin."

The resulting transformation is amazing. At the workshop's conclusion, some specimens in very poor condition were returned to near original state. Restoring the animal's natural size is particularly useful, as skins and skeletons can't tell us this information. It leads to some truly amazing applications; Senior Curator of Mammals Kevin Rowe says a researcher recently contacted him to find out the dimensions of a bandicoot. "He was designing radio tracking vests for bandicoots which don't have necks suitable for collars. The best way to figure out the dimensions of a bandicoot is to look at a fluid specimen." This is because wet specimens "preserve internal soft tissue better than skins and skeletons. They also preserve the anatomical features of sperm, stomach contents, parasites–essentially everything in and on a specimen."

is it safe and for how long to keep stripped millwork unpainted?
i just used (very effectively) Peel Away 1 to strip some gazillion layers of paint from my antique doorway millwork. however, i was wondering how long it is safe to keep the millwork unpainted after that and if it will be exposed to weathering (even though it is indoors).
BONUS: Peel Away company Dumond say rinse the job with a damp sponge after removing the compound. i was skeptical about that on wood cause moisture can compromise it, instead i was just gonna let it dry and then sand it. is this a good approach or should i rinse it anyway?
Follow the companys advise or it may leave behind a film that could effect the paint.
Depending on the humity where it's stored left unfinish there's a small chance it may cup.
Some woods don't mind rinsing---however,red oak --raw red oak should never be exposed to water as it turns grey or even black--
If this is interior woodwork and it will be painted? It's not going to matter how long you wait--as long as a light sanding is done before the paint goes on---

Hard Eight (2002)
by Janet Evanovich
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Well, this was jam-packed and all over the place. It also hit me in the middle of the story - I enjoy it a lot more because I can easily picture the places she mentions. I know them. It's very poorly described for someone that doesn't know those places. But hey, I'll take that ending and run with it (all the way to the next book).
A great read! Just like the other books in the series, this one kept me laughing out loud. :) I've been reading the Stephanie Plum books completely out of order (I started with 9, then 1, now 8), so this book was great because it filled me in on the *details* for events that are referred to in the future books (like Stephanie's one-nighter with Ranger!).
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Now, if I can just track down the rest of the series... ;)
Book eight in Janet Evanovich's series about Stephanie Plum, bumbling bounty hunter. This time out, Stephanie searches for a woman and her daughter who have disappeared in an apparent case of parental kidnapping, and is terrorized by a guy in a rabbit suit.
The writing in this series, which I do think was steadily improving for a while, seems to have plateaued a few books back, and if anything, I think Stephanie is getting even worse at her job, an incompetence that is perhaps beginning to stretch disbelief a bit. And I'm still not thrilled with this as another installment in the ongoing story of Stephanie's sexual tension with two hot guys. It's not nearly as annoyingly written as some of these love triangle plots tend to be, but it does still make me want to roll my eyes a bit. If you ask me, what she really needs to do is forget both guys and buy a vibrator.
But Stephanie's wacky antics are still amusing, and this was yet another breezy and entertaining (albeit violent) read. So far, at least, this series remains just about ideal for when you're stressed or busy and need something fun, quick, and distracting.
Not ready Bounty Hunter business but Stephanie looks for a missing mother and child, Ranger calls in his debt and saves Stephanie from another psycho.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0312983867, Mass Market Paperback)In Hard Eight, Stephanie Plum picks up a case a little nastier than anything the wisecracking bounty hunter's seen before. Evelyn Soder and her young daughter have gone on the run, leaving an angry ex-husband who's planning to collect on a child custody bond that will leave Evelyn's grandmother homeless. Stephanie's first clue that there's more to it than that comes in the form of Eddie Abruzzi, a shady local businessman who warns her to butt out of the case. Stephanie doesn't scare easily, but when Abruzzi's henchmen leave a bag of snakes on her doorknob and tarantulas in her car, she has no choice but to call Ranger, the hunky man of mystery whom she already owes too many favors. Steph knows that Ranger will soon be calling in his marker, but with her ex- fiancé Joe Morelli out of the picture, that should be OK--shouldn't it? In the meantime, she's got other fugitives to catch, aided by the usual band of misfits, plus a bumbling correspondence-school lawyer who's developed the hots for Stephanie's sister, Valerie. And Steph's in for a surprise from her mother, who proves she's not above wielding a dangerous weapon to save her daughter's life.
Author Janet Evanovich has made a bold move in using a soupçon of child jeopardy to pull this series out of the comfortable but formulaic pattern it was threatening to fall into. It's still funny, and yes, some cars are destroyed, but now there's a real edge of darkness under the humor. Fans needn't fear, though: Jersey girl Stephanie is still full of sass and Tastykakes. --Barrie Trinkle

Swansea captain Ashley Williams reportedly feels he's gone as far as he can at the club and wants a summer move - but they claim there hasn't been ONE approach about him.
After being released by West Brom in his teens, the 28-year-old centre-half played in non-League with Hednesford Town while working at the Drayton Manor theme park and then in League Two with Stockport.
Williams has since risen to become skipper of the Swans and Wales' national team, won promotion to the Premier League and, as captain, lifted the League Cup at Wembley in February.
He has been linked with Arsenal, who have money to spend this summer, Liverpool - managed by ex-Swans boss Brendan Rodgers - and Everton, who now have Roberto Martinez, who bought him for Swansea in 2008, in charge.
A Sunday Telegraph report claims Williams, who will be 29 in August, wants to make the most of the years he has left at top level and that Arsenal are his destination of choice.
However, Swansea insist the phone is not exactly ringing off the hook.
"While there seems to be constant speculation about Ashley Williams, I can honestly say that I have not had one call from anybody about him," chairman Huw Jenkins told the South Wales Evening Post.
"There have been all sorts of stories in the press about what is happening with Ash, but I have never heard anything from anyone."

Most modern handguns can be dry fired without a problem.
How about the LCP?
Is it ok to dry fire it?
I just did a search on "dry-fire" which yielded a whole page of stuff you might read.
I believe the manual says its OK (If I'm wrong this thread wil lbe quickly followed up with a correction)
But, whether it's OK or not, I always use snap caps anyway. You can learn a lot of trigger control cheaply this way.
Are .380 snap caps as hard to find as .380 ammo? I have 9 mm snap caps but no .380's.Originally Posted by stevec717
.380 snap caps are currently available at the elsiepea store. 12 in stock.
This has got to be the most ubiquitous question on this forum.
I reviewed a letter directly from Ruger: dry-firing the LCP is fine. Using snap caps is a pain in the arse with having to manually eject/recock the pistol each time.
The FAQ page on the Ruger website answers this. "All Ruger pistols can be dry fired without damage." in answer to "Can I dry fire my Ruger P-Series and .22 pistols?"
That FAQ page is a nice little piece of information. Well done!
I received this reply from Ruger when I asked them about dry firing the LCP.
Thank you for using the Ruger On-Line Customer Support Request Form.
This e-mail is in response to your question or comment of 08/06/2009 Request No: 37744 Comment / question: What is your recommendation regarding the dry firing of the LCP?

Target: Swiss Parliament
Goal: Make the consumption of cat and dog meat illegal.
In many countries, including the United States, cats and dogs are animals that play an important role in many families. These animals are our pets and our friends. We care for them, play with them, and treat them as loyal friends. The sheer thought of hurting them may make you sick to your stomach, but this is not at all the case in Switzerland. Some farmers in Switzerland regularly torture, slaughter, and serve up dogs as meals for their families.
Journalists in Switzerland recently did some in-depth research on farmers who regularly consume dog meat. These farmers considered it completely commonplace and saw nothing wrong with eating dogs for dinner. "Meat is meat," they say. The favorite type of dog meat is the Rottweiler, although they slaughter and cook up all different breeds. So, these poor animals are regularly tortured, either shot or slaughtered, and brought into the kitchen to prepare for dinner. While most people associate the practice of eating dogs and cats with third-world countries and the Middle East, the fact that it is practiced in a country as well-developed as Switzerland is simply appalling.
Switzerland also has a small trade in cat pelts for coats and bedspreads. Cats are treated just as brutally as dogs in this country, and animal rights activists must take action. In 1993, the Swiss parliament rejected changing the laws to protect dogs and cats against human consumption. When man is eating his best friend, it is time for change.
There are several alternative forms of meat that can be consumed, such as beef, chicken, and lamb. These food choices are questionable enough, and there is significant controversy surrounding the treatment and preparation of these animals. Adding our beloved canine and feline friends into the mix is recipe for disaster. Cats and dogs are animals that are easily domesticated and trained to obey the orders of humans. There is no need to contain them, let alone slaughter them.
By signing the petition below, you will help persuade the Swiss Parliament to enact legislation which will protect cats and dogs rather than continue letting them be slaughtered for human consumption.
Dear Swiss Parliament,
The practice of slaughtering and eating dogs and cats is unethical and inhumane. It has become known that several farmers in Switzerland regularly slaughter dogs for consumption, as well as cats for the production of coats and bedspreads.
Not only is this practice cruel, torturous, and inhumane, but it is also unnecessary and selfish on the part of the humans involved. Several alternative forms of meat are readily available for consumption, and these provide the same, if not more, nutritional value as dogs and cats. Therefore, there is no need for people to slaughter dogs for human consumption. Furthermore, this practice is extremely cruel and causes significant pain to innocent dogs.
I am urging you to enact legislation in Switzerland which will protect these innocent animals and prevent further torture and slaughter of harmless dogs. Please make the consumption of cats and dogs illegal in Switzerland and stop this horrific practice.
[Your Name Here]

Common sense key to entrepreneurial success: study
By Bernd Debusmann Jr.
NEW YORK Jan 6 (Reuters) - Practical intelligence, or common sense, is key to success in business, according to a new study that highlights the importance of hands-on experience and learning by doing.
Researchers from American University in Washington D.C. and the University of Maryland found that entrepreneurs who learn from experience and experiment have an edge over those who acquire knowledge through reading and observation.
"Entrepreneurs, especially during the early stages of their start-ups, have to think on their feet," said Professor Barbara Bird, of American University's Kogod School of Business, whose findings will be published in the Personnel Psychology journal.
"They have to make the best decisions possible in the least amount of time. They need to act. Practical intelligence empowers them to act quickly and confidently."
In their study Bird and her team focused on the printing and graphics industry because it includes new companies as well as already established ones.
To compare levels of practical intelligence, the researchers asked 283 entrepreneurs to rank 10 types of decisions in order of importance in specific business scenarios. They then compared the answers to responses from 22 established CEOs in the printing industry who had started their own businesses.
The answers showed that the entrepreneurs who were most likely to run rapidly growing ventures had relevant experience in printing and graphics, learned through hands-on experiences and experimentation. They also honed their practical intelligence by pursuing specific growth goals.
Although the researchers focused on one industry, Bird said practical intelligence is of universal importance for business success. Continued...

Newcastle are being reported to be interested in Austrian defender Aleksandar Dragovic, who plays for Basel, and the 21 year-old would cost about £5M, but that's an amount Newcastle may be willing to pay in January.
Aleksandar Dragovic – Newcastle target?
The young defender fits exactly into the type of player Newcastle are after – a young player who could improve big time once he gets to Tyneside.
Other clubs also interested in the youngster seem to be Fiorentina and Stuggart, and Dragovic was born in Vienna to ethnic Serbian parents, but he was never called up by Serbia and has played for Austria , and he has 14 caps at the International level.
With playing in the Swiss League it's always hard to judge just how he would fare in the Premier League, which is the best football league in the world at the moment.
We assume that Graham Carr has watched this player, and if it's his recommendation that Newcastle sign the 21 year-old, then that would be fine with us.
Newcastle must strengthen their squad in January and next summer if we are to continue our upward spiral after finishing 5th last season in the Premier League, and that's now looking difficult to repeat this season, when we've had a number of our top players out injured.
We need some new players signed in January.
What do you think?

Woman with narrow feet, tiny ankles and heels!
Any recommendations for a great fitting boot for me? My feet are a size 9, but they are flat and narrow, which causes me to have major heel lift issues! Currently, I have Nike boots, and they are narrow-er or sure, but I cant get them tight enough with the lacing system. Its so bad I have to have my hubbs do them up every time and I still get mad lift. It's super lame that I can't go w/o him unless I embarrassingly ask some stranger to do em up. Id like a Boa system or something (whatever) that I can do up myself. Cost really isn't a concern for me....I'd pay just about anything or great boots I can o up myself! Help:dizzy:
Spend some time trying on different brands and models to see what fits best.
I tried Nike and had heel lift even with J bars, so I kept looking. Thirtytwo Lashed with fast track lacing worked the best for me. I didn't like the boas I tried because I couldn't tweak it where I needed. The FT lacing system worked better for me.
Go to a good local shop and spend some time with a good boot fitter. Heat molding and inserts like J bars, C bars, and such can make a big difference.
Good luck!
I am interested in the FT sytem though. Aren't there 4 or 5 'zones' to tighten? Do you have trouble getting enough muscle to pull me tight enough?
The FT on my model boot has an inner lace system and an outer. The outer has two pulls while the inner has one.
A helpful thing is to rotate your foot in both directions while pulling the inner lace. I usually do that with my foot elevated (standing on my other foot). When I do the outer laces up, I flex a bit down with my foot on the ground so it's not too tight where it shouldn't be.
I don't have a problem with having enough strength for it, but I have a lot of upper body strength :D Regardless, if you use leverage while tightening (push down with your foot as you pull up), you should be fine.
I also have really narrow feet as well (size 8.5), and I have Salomon boots (possibly the Kiana, but I got them 3 or 4 years ago so now sure how similar the current model is). They are really comfy once on, and I don't have any trouble with heel lift. That being said, I find the lacing system a bit difficult - it has a 2 part speed lace system. I actually think it was easier to get my boots really tight with regular laces, but I like that these stay tight throughout the day. They aren't HARD to do up (no muscle required), it just takes me a while :P So just make sure you can do boa laces up tight enough, because I cannot just pull from the top tab on mine or they are too loose! I usually have to clip one side of the laces in at a time and pull on each lace cross all the way up like regular laces. But definitely try a pair of Salomon boots on, I really like mine once they are on my feet :)
THE boot man + a pair of Solomon Kianas(sp?)= heaven! Thanks for all the suggestions. I don't think I could be happier.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
A lawyer has filed a lawsuit against me for $2300.00 in credit card debt. The 20 day time limit for filing an answer has passed. The lawyer sent me an agreement for judgement and an ageeement to pay $50.00 a month on the debt. He says this will avoid me having to go to court for trial. Would it be a mistake to sign this form or is he telling me the truth? By signing this form, would that end the court proceedings? I am on disability, the lawyer says the payment plan is voluntary, but I don't want to be dragged into court every few months to see if I can pay a judgement. Thank you
If in fact you do owe the $2,300 and can afford to pay $50 a month, then it's probably not a bad deal. Your only other alternative is to participate the lawsuit which you will likely lose unless you have some valid defense, which will result in a judgment being entered against you by the court and then it would be up to the court to determine how much you should pay a monthly basis. If you do agree to pay the $50 a month, make sure that all of the terms are in writing including any provisions involving interest, late payments, penalties, etc. It would probably worthwhile meeting with a lawyer to go over any agreement before you sign it.Ask a similar question
I agree with the prior response, but I'd also add that if this credit card debt is just one of many that have finally caught up with you in the court system, you may need to start thinking about other options. Agreeing to a payment plan won't help you if other debts will surface and collectors will start enforcing their rights - leaving you to juggle a number of judgments, liens and potential garnishments. If this is your only debt, $50 a month sounds like a good plan (although paying it off sooner is a better plan). If this is not your only debt, and this court case is a symptom of a larger problem that you don't mention, talk to a lawyer and start exploring some longer term solutions.
Good luck,
Bill McLeodAsk a similar question
NO! Do not sign that form!
By signing that form you are agreeing to give the Plaintiff judgment in the full amount he is seeking, plus agreeing to give him statutory interest at 12% a year. You are also giving him the right to have a sheriff come to your home, seize your property, and garnish your wages. You can settle the debt without giving the Plaintiff judgment! Paying $50/month will barely cover the interest, and you will be paying them forever.
I would explore other options before granting them judgment. You may pay a little to consult with a lawyer, but it could save you thousands.Ask a similar question

Sometimes, rap lyrics speak to me. Okay, who are we kidding. All the time, rap lyrics speak to me. A current oldie but goodie is Juicy by the one and only Biggie Smalls. Because we all need a reminder that we can sip champagne when we thirst-ay.
thank you.
I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and that everyone that comes into your life has a purpose. There are some days that I think that I've outgrown blogging, that its something I don't have time for anymore and then something like this, this and this (to name a few) happens and I am so incredibly inspired by the blogging community.
You guys, I honestly cannot thank you enough for the kindness that you've shown in regards to this post. I am 100% blown away. Putting Dena's story up here was the least I could do and I thought maybe someone would donate but I never in my wildest dreams thought that so many of you would share her story and donate. Words can't even describe how happy all of your comments, tweets, emails and texts have meant to me and I know they mean even more to Dena.
I needed this. A lot. And I just wanted to thank you all, so very much, for everything. For always.
be kind
Yesterday, I tweeted something to this effect because lately I've had a lot of things put into perspective for me. If you missed it, you should read about Dena the next time you feel like you need to check yourself. I'm not saying that I think you need to, but I am saying that sometimes all you need is a little perspective.
A lot of the time as bloggers there is a lot of pressure put on you to be perfect all the time and that's impossible. Also, many of us don't tell you everything we have going on in our lives because most of the time, our private lives are just that, private.
This isn't going to become me, sitting here telling you to be a better person or pretend that I'm some sort of saint, because I'm not. I just feel like people go around assuming a lot of things about others. I've said it before, and I'll say it again; no one is as happy as they seem on Facebook. Life is hard and sometimes it gets the best of you, the key is to get the best of it. To not quit. To keep going. To keep fighting that good fight.
a big favor
***please, everyone, read this post***
I apologize in advance for the turn to serious town but I have a favor to ask of you. Dena was just like you and me. She ate organic, bought most of her food from the the farmer's market and exercised regularly, but a few days after her 29th birthday, everything changed for her. She was diagnosed with breast cancer.
You may have seen her story on refinery29 here and here. If you did, much like myself, you probably cried a bit. But no matter how bad I think my day is, when I read Dena's blog I'm not only humbled but I'm inspired. She is so upbeat and positive that it's utterly contagious.
That's why I'm reaching out here and hoping to use my blogging powers for good. It turns out that even with insurance cancer is REALLY expensive. Imagine not being able to work and fighting this battle. I can't. So please, if you can, donate. Even if you can't donate, would you please pass this along? Every little bit helps and I know that Dena would appreciate it more than any of us could ever understand.

Stars And Their Cars - Bruce Hopkins - Lifeguard And Bondi Rescue
What was your first car?
It was a 1974 Holden Torana TA in poo brown. It was originally my brother's; it was his project car during his apprenticeship as a motor mechanic. I had it for about three years. Being brown I'd always get a bit of a bagging-out when I turned up in the beach car park.
What was your next car?
A Commodore station wagon. Funnily enough, it was poo brown as well.
What are you driving nowadays?
A 2005 Holden Rodeo. It's handy for carrying my surfboards and surf-skis. Plus, having four doors, I can fit my kids inside. I also like that it's a manual.
Is it the colour of sewage?
No, it's white.
Dream car?
Any Lamborghini.
Any pet road peeves?
When you're waiting at traffic lights and people go up the inside and try to snake their way in to get back in front.
Have you rescued anybody using your car?
Yeah, I have used it to move a couple of people who've had major gashes from surfboard injuries. One I took to the medical centre and the other to the hospital.
Are you recognised when you go out for adrive?
Yeah, especially if I'm in the lifeguard car (a Ford Courier). People yell out, "Hey, that's the guy from Bondi Rescue."

Genius of Will Vanders
I miss seeing all the K1 and kickboxing events on eurosport UK, especially Will's colourful commentary. I'm glad to see there's loads on this week and in the upcoming weeks, so hopefully there'll be tons of Will Vanderisms.
Here's some of his quotes from the past few years:
"On that right hook he's got more swing than Glenn Miller's band."
"That one was so slow that Nostradamus predicted it."
"You have to liken him to Picasso, every stroke is a masterpiece."
"He's all over the canvas like a Salvadore Dali."
"Cinderella is going to the ball."
"Always the bridesmaid, never the Bride."
"Elvis has left the building."
"He's been kissing pigskin."
"He's Busier than a Bishop's hat."
"Pound and ground." (sic)
"7 Foot 2. What did you say? I say, I say, I say, 7 Foot 2."
"I don't think Iron Mike's eating Oriental tonight."
"This fight is as over as disco."
"How about that for chin soufflé."
"He's ripping it up gnarly stylee."
"He's taken more hits than a Paris Hilton website."
"He's all over him like a cheap suit."
"He's more flat footed than young Frankenstein putting on the ritz."
"That kick had a 2nd class stamp on it."
"He's got more kick than a drowning horse."
"He's drinking from the bitter chalice of defeat."
"He's on him like a drunk on a kebab."
"That punch travelled all the way up the M1 from Wolverhampton."
"You can play Football, you can play Rugby, but you can't play K1."
"That punch sparkled like moonlight on a mountain spring!"
"This guy's punches are like Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles!"
"He's like a Rhino in riot gear."
"He's taking more knocks than a front door."
"He's made more chin connections than the Bangkok telephone exchange."
"This Man's a one Man riot."
"He's got a one-way ticket to Loserville, on a Train called Despair."
"Bye bye pepsi cola, hello holy wine."
He's a funny bloke, even more so when he unintentionally gets it wrong.

Rice defeated Prairie View 65-44
Baylor 38, Rice 10
Rice opened the 2016 home schedule by dropping a 38-10 decision to Baylor.
As he enters his 10th year at the helm of the Rice Owls, David Bailiff will celebrate the dawning of an exciting new era as the program realizes a long-sought goal with the opening of the new Brian Patterson Sports Performance Center as well as continuing to deliver an unparalleled standard of success on the field and in the classroom.
Bailiff will become just the fourth head coach to lead the Owls for at least a decade, joining Jess Neely (27 years), Ken Hatfield (12 years) and Phillip Arbuckle (11 years) and he is just four wins away from passing Hatfield to move into second on the Owls career win list.
In nine seasons on South Main, Bailiff has built a program that has become one of the most consistent in Conference USA. Under his watch, the Owls have earned four bowl berths and won three bowl championships and have produced the most wins in school history over a two (18), three (25) and four (30) year period. Rice's 18-9 mark from 2013-14 was the second best of any FBS program in Texas. He has led the Owls to two of the three 10-win seasons in school history and has won eight or more games three times, matching Jess Neely for the most at Rice.
Bailiff has twice been honored by his peers as C-USA Coach of the Year (2008 & 2013) and after leading the Owls to their first outright conference championship in 56 years in 2013, he joined Art Briles (Baylor), Mark Dantonio (Michigan State), Gus Malzahn (Auburn) and David Shaw (Stanford) as Bear Bryant Coach of the Year award finalists. He was also honored by the San Antonio Express News as its Co-Sportsman of the Year.
While reaching new heights on the field, Bailiff's teams continue to excel in the classroom while also making a profound impact on the Houston community. Twice in his tenure, the Owls were honored by the American Football Coaches Association with its Academic Achievement Award, having posted a 100 percent graduation rate. Rice has led Conference USA football teams in GPA in six of his nine seasons.
He was honored with the Greater Houston Football Coaches Association's John Kelley Distinguished Service Award and by the Conference USA Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) Coaches Choice Award winner for 2011-12. He was also cited by the Houston Press as "Houston's Best Sports Role Model" in its 2013 Best of Houston edition.
Bailiff's staff has made the state of Texas a priority in recruiting, solidifying relationships with high school coaches throughout the state and the result has shown itself both in the team success and in the number of players reaching the NFL as well as in his successful efforts to bring the Texas High School Coaches Association Convention to Houston in 2015.
The Owls have had eight players taken in the NFL Draft during Bailiff's tenure, matching the output of the previous 22 years prior to his arrival. A total of six players from his first five recruiting classes have been selected. A record nine Owls recruited by Bailiff saw action in the NFL in 2015 and a 10th, Jordan Taylor, was on the practice squad with Denver and became the second Bailiff recruit in the last three years to win a Super Bowl ring (Luke Willson, Seattle, 2014).
His efforts in Texas have also seen the Owls increase their walk-on program. Most recently, the walk-on program produced 2015 leading receiver Zach Wright.
He has also made good on his promise to keep the Owls active in community work, as the Owls have been tireless in their efforts with local schools as well as reaching out to Rice's diverse student population through an annual International Students' Clinic each August. In July of 2009, Bailiff accepted an invitation to join with four other college football coaches on a goodwill tour to visit military personnel stationed in Afghanistan and again honored our troops in 2011 by participating as a driver in the "Crossing of America" tour. The Owls also are regular participants in efforts to send care packages to members of the armed forced deployed overseas.
The Rice football team was honored by the Texas Association of Partners in Education with their TAPE's Crystal Award for the program the Owls conducted in 2007 with the students at Arizona Fleming Elementary School in Houston. The Owls support of Big Brothers helped Rice Athletics be honored in 2012 as one of the Houston chapter's Community Partners of the Year.
In 2008, the Owls endured a series of challenges as well as the aftermath of Hurricane Ike and produced the first 10-win season for Rice since 1949 and the Owls' first victory in a bowl game since their memorable win over Alabama in the 1954 Cotton Bowl. For his efforts, Bailiff was honored by his conference peers with his first Conference USA Coach of the Year honor.
Bailiff came to Rice after three seasons as the head coach at Texas State University in San Marcos where he posted a 21-15 record while leading the Bobcats to their first Southland Conference championship and the semifinals of the NCAA Division 1-AA playoffs in 2005.
He produced a total of 14 All Southland Conference first team selections, and 13 players who were named to the academic all-conference squad in his last two years. The 2005 season was truly a magical one. The Bobcats went 9-2 during the regular season and earned the school's first berth in the Division I-AA playoffs.
In their first game, the Bobcats stormed back from a 35-16 deficit against Division I-AA national power Georgia Southern to score 34 unanswered points and beat the Eagles 50-35. The Cats then defeated Cal Poly 14-7 to move on to the national semifinals. Only a 40-37 overtime loss to Northern Iowa stood between Texas State and an appearance in the Division I-AA title game.
Bailiff was named the American Football Coaches Association's Region 5 Coach of the Year and finished third in the voting for the Eddie Robinson Award presented annually to the top coach in Division I-AA. Prior to being named Texas State head coach, Bailiff spent three seasons on the staff at TCU. He served as the Horned Frogs' defensive coordinator in both 2002 and 2003 while working with the team's defensive linemen.
The 2003 Horned Frogs posted an 11-2 record and were ranked 25th in the final Associated Press writer's poll and 24th in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll. Bailiff was part of a staff which built a tradition on defense at TCU. During his three seasons in Fort Worth, the Horned Frogs were ranked 24th, 1st and 38th in the country in total defense and 10th, first and ninth against the run.
In 2002, TCU allowed just 240.2 yards of total offense per game which led the country. The Horned Frogs surrendered an average 64.8 yards on the ground. During the year, the Frogs held Tulane to a school-record -53 yards rushing. TCU also ranked second in the country in pass efficiency defense, allowing opponents to complete less than 39 percent of their passes.
Six TCU defensive players earned all-conference accolades in 2002 including Conference USA Defensive Player of the year and Second-Team All-American LaMarcus MacDonald.
While at TCU, the Horned Frogs played in a bowl game every season - the galleryfurniture.com Bowl (2001), AXA Liberty Bowl (2002) and the Plains Capital Fort Worth Bowl (2003).
He began his coaching career as the defensive line coach at New Braunfels High School (1982-84). He went into private business from 1984-88 before returning to the coaching ranks as a defensive graduate assistant coach at Texas State in 1988. He was elevated to the Bobcats' defensive line coach in 1989.
Bailiff left Texas State in 1992 for an assistant coaching position at New Mexico. He returned to Texas State in 1997 as defensive coordinator and added assistant head coach responsibilities to his role in 1999.
It was in 1999 that Bailiff was selected the NCAA Division I-AA Assistant Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association. While at TCU, Bailiff was also honored as the Top Assistant Football Coach by the All-American Football Foundation following the Horned Frogs' 2002 season.
As a player, Bailiff was named All-Lone Star Conference as well as All-America honorable mention while playing at Texas State from 1977-80. He served as a team captain in 1980 and was named honorable mention to the Lone Star Team of the Decade.
Bailiff is married to the former Angie Daniels of Versailles, Mo. He has a daughter, Brooke and the couple has twin 19-year-old sons, Grayson and Gregory.

That sounds really interesting!
There are already services online that allow you to choose a photo and print on whatever you want, a T-Shirt, a Cup, a mouse pad, Prints, Posters and even Phone Cases! One of the ones I know is Fine Art America.
An app for something like this would be great too!
I have to check out this Fine Art America, it sounds like something I'm just looking for! BTW. I guess the topic's application died..

Beautiful car OP, enjoy it in good health bro
When i saw that comment too i was thinking the same thing. I bought this particular 330i because i loved the package and the imola red exterior. I have never purchased any vehicle as an investment but to simply enjoy and drive the car because owning bmw's is my hobby. Also some people were saying "Stop buying mods and do maintenance"
and its dumb because i have already done most of the maintenance anyway it just wasnt my first priority because the car is just sitting and not being driven. Anyways i replaced the valve cover gasket, New rotors and pads, Fuel pump Gasket, and countless other things so take that. haha

Check your PMs. I'm sending you the tracking link that's working for me.

I got my Eneloops & the bundled charger. (I'm glad I got the batteries, the colors are cool, and it was a great price for just them.) But....
I hope no one plans to use this crappy charger. If the spec sheet is correct, it is far worse than the speculation above saying it wasn't any good and would probably damage your batteries.
The charger's own specs indicate it is a constant current charger without even a timer. You put your batteries in and it keeps charging until you remove the batteries. If, and only if, you remove your batteries exactly when they're fully charged will they be fully charged and not damaged!
(If you're saying, "oh, that's not so bad. I'll just pull the batteries." How will you know when? How much charge do they have left? How much do you need to add before they're full? I don't think that's possible, but even if you disagree, is it worth the hassle?)
I'd say Woot! should be ashamed, but they are at the mercy of whoever created the bundle and this was a great deal on the batteries alone. (Whoever created this charger most certainly should be ashamed though!)

Evaluating Abs
I would like to evaluate Abs[-T] for positive T.
I tried
but this doesn't help, since when I type in Mathematica
Abs[-T] the answer Mathematica gives is again Abs[-T],
instead of T which I would like.
Could someone help me?

It's been a miserable year for chemical mergers and acquisitions (M&A) – the financial and economic crisis put the brakes on deal-making as financing dried up and earnings visibility disappeared.
The big deals announced last year – Dow Chemical/Rohm and Haas, and BASF/Ciba – got done in 2009, but these deals represented the last throes of a multiyear bull market in chemical M&A.
US-based Dow was dragged into closing its acquisition of specialty chemicals giant Rohm and Haas at a peak-of-the-market price, while Germany's BASF announced it would shut down or sell 25 out of the former Switzerland-based specialty chemicals firm Ciba's 55 sites worldwide.
Few, if any, are looking at these types of multibillion dollar deals now.
But while we're in the midst of a seasonal summer lull, investment bankers are hoping that post US Labor Day (September 7), deal activity will rise once again.
And there's some reason for optimism. Agree or not, there is growing worldwide consensus that the Great Recession is over. At the very least, some companies now have greater visibility in their earnings outlook as economies around the world stabilize.
And distressed assets will continue to hit the selling block. Bankrupt US-based specialty chemicals firm Chemtura has put its polyvinyl chloride (PVC) additives business up for sale, according to our sources.
And there are signs that the financing market is coming back, although slowly, and only for companies with investment-grade credit ratings.
In August, US-based industrial gases firm Air Products sold $400m in senior notes with a 4.375% coupon, while Praxair sold $600m in 4.5% notes. US-based chlor-alkali and ammunition-maker Olin sold $150m in 8.875% senior notes while Dow sold $2.75bn in various debt instruments. More are lining up, according to John Rogers, head of the chemical group at ratings agency Moody's Investors Service.
Get ready to deal!
