Following on from last week's AFR column, On t'Mark – Retail hybrids: clear, concise and effective? that examined the Australian retail hybrid landscape and asked whether more regulation is needed to protect retail investors, ASIC responded with some more comments on the matter.
While it would be very flattering to think that ASIC was responding directly to my AFR article, this announcement was almost certainly pre-planned. Having said that, my favourite part was:
"Mr Price reminded issuers their disclosure documents should be clear, concise and effective."
Exactly the point I was trying to make.
However, I think some commentators are still missing the point of ASIC's warnings; they are not to tell investors the obvious, that the higher returns offered by the hybrids come with higher risks, but that retail investors should fully understand those risks.
My concern is that given the complexity of the documents, I'm convinced that this is not the case. The outcome that ASIC should be pushing for is that the hybrid/bond prospectuses should contain a summary with clear language that all investors can easily understand. This could entail working through numerous events highlighting the worst-case scenarios.
The terms and conditions could essentially remain the same, ensuring the documents still maintain their legal standing and completeness. However, the key parts could be highlighted in the summary – to an extent, they already are but these risks are still not complete and are not that easy to follow.
As long as investors fully comprehend the investment that they are buying, they are free to make an informed decision about the risks versus return. At the moment some of the risks are opaque and worst-case scenarios not clearly disclosed.
To be honest, what I think will happen is that you can have all the risks clearly stated and the majority of retail investors' thinking will still be along these lines: "Oh, that's an 8 per cent yield, much higher than term deposit rates, I'm in!"
There's not a general awareness of the concept of return versus risk in the wider population; with too much emphasis on the projected returns. Still once the risks have been clearly stated, rational decisions at least have a chance to be made.
On a related point, last week the AFR carried a story that retail bond investors want to see credit ratings on their retail bond/hybrid issues. I've been talking about this deficiency for ages; isn't it time to knock some heads together at the regulator and the rating agencies, so this unholy mess can be brought to a satisfactory conclusion.
Why is Australia the only market in the world that can't accept credit ratings for retail investors?
On a more positive note, there was a very interesting development in the Australian fixed income market that many investors may have missed. In a coup and in a first (to the best of my knowledge), FIIG Securities launched a new issue on behalf of
The terms and conditions will include a negative pledge and other protective covenants. This issue will to help diversify the Silver Chef's funding sources and provide additional tenor to its debt maturity profile. The proceeds will be used to partially repay the existing bank facility.
I have been impressed with management and the Silver Chef business model in general. The only advice I have to offer is for the company to change their ticker from SIV; that acronym still causes many fixed-income investors to wake in the middle of the night in a cold sweat!
Some potential Silver Chef bond investors will have some valid concerns regarding secondary market liquidity, lack of ratings and pricing. Nevertheless, I think this deal is a first for the Australian market and hopefully we'll see more of this good, old-fashioned, plain vanilla bond issuance, with proper bondholder protection. This is exactly the type of deal ASIC should be looking to promote.
In summary, the retail bond market has the potential to be a critical piece of the Australian capital market jigsaw providing funding diversity and tenor to corporates; let's not blow up the investors before the market has had a chance to ignite.
Have a good week.

Then since you don't allow anything inbound, you're just doing it for
the sake of seeing what's out there because you're curious. That's
much different than relying on it for detecting intrusions. You're
just using it as a Internet Crud Detector. (how about a new acronym,
ICD!) :) You aren't going to detect any intrusions because you
aren't allowing any of that traffic in. A simple ICD is fine for the
sake of the curious, but if you actually want to detect intrusions,
it's of little value.
The sad thing is, for the regs that require or suggest the use of IDS,
having some next to worthless IDS system like this probably suffices
for a "check the box", yes we have IDS. But for that matter, I know
of places that have bought an IDS, slapped it in the rack and plugged
it in but never look at it, so they can "check the box".
My point is, an IDS like this isn't much of any good for detecting
intrusions, though it isn't completely worthless. If you're curious
and don't allow inbound traffic, it's great. If you just want
something logging things so if something happens you have a better
chance of going back and finding out why, then this is also a good
solution. If you want to truly detect intrusions, forget about it.

Might as well! (getting me on a soap box again!) ;) Except on pass
rules. By definition, the dropped traffic can't hurt you, yet that's
all most people log. Logging your default LAN -> any rule is probably
overkill in most environments because of the performance hit and the
huge log volume it'd create, but I log all incoming permit rules.
Granted I log denied incoming traffic as well, because it can be
useful under some circumstances, and I don't advocate turning it off.
But it's much more important to log things that most people don't -
what gets through.
Besides, firewall logging is much different from IDS. Firewall logs
are always 100% accurate and complete (assuming your software works).
They don't claim to be something they're not. They don't tell you
much, but for their given purpose they don't leave anything critical
out of the overall picture. They're just a small piece of an overall
security infrastructure.

Every so often, I will answer the phone, and there will be some telemarketer trying to sell me something or another.
I am on the no-call list, mind you. So, I really shouldn't be getting these calls.
Everyone knows what I am talking about. You are trying to eat dinner or help kids with their homework and some knothead calls with an "offer of a lifetime." It drives you crazy.
So, I get it when, after the Public Service Commission fined a pair of companies a record $5.7 million for misdeeds, Southern District Commissioner Leonard Bentz said, "Take their kids if we have to. They need to go to jail."
OK, well, maybe we don't need to take their kids.
But Bentz' point is that most of these companies do not have that kind of money laying around in the petty cash drawer (do people even have petty cash drawers anymore?).
There has to be some way of making companies pay for what they have done to us poor folks who answer the telephone.
In this case, the fines were levied against Purchase Power Solutions, LLC of Chandler, Ariz.; ELH Consulting of Tucson, Ariz.; and two directors, Lisa Miller and Emory L. Holley IV.
The companies and directors failed to respond to legal complaints from the Mississippi PSC. The commission levied the maximum $5,000 fine for each of 1,141 violations.
Until now, the largest fine imposed by Mississippi regulators for no-call violations had been the $945,000 levied in May against Roy M. Cox of Santa Ana, Calif.
But rarely does the state of Mississippi ever see this money.
So, Bentz is suggesting we take whatever can from these people — even their kids — to exact our revenge.
Point taken.
We want to take whatever action we can to keep unscrupulous people from taking advantage of Mississippians, like in this case in which Jeff Jernigan, a staff attorney for the PSC, said that the Arizona defendants were offering a service where people could consolidate debt.
In one case, a consumer accepted the offer, was charged about $800 and received only two compact discs in the mail.
But the phone calls keep coming to my house and now even my cell phone.
It doesn't appear that we are making a dent in the problem. I am hopeful we can get enough money out of these scoundrels to pay back people like the ones who were taken advantage of in this situation.
Yet, beyond that, we seem to have commissioners using the vote to continue their tough talk against telemarketers while not delivering much more.
Now, if we find out that Bentz has adopted some kids from Arizona, then we might be getting somewhere.
Just kidding.

This Trend 342 router cutter set (full code: 342X1/4TC) is a 1/4 inch cutter set for the biscuit jointing of timber, man-made fibre and particle board using a router. The set includes three sizes of bearing which set the correct depth of cut for the three sizes available.
A slightly longer cut than the length of the biscuit is required to allow some lateral play for easy alignment during assembly. A water based glue (PVA) is used with the biscuits which will expand as the moisture is absorbed, and boards should simply be clamped together until glue is cured. For larger boards, biscuits can be doubled up by making two passes.

MARY VERMETTE (published on January 29, 2008)
MARY VERMETTE (nee KLASSEN) After a lengthy battle with cancer, Mary
(Klassen) Vermette went home to be with her Lord and Saviour on
January 25, 2008 at the age of 65 years and 10 months. She is survived
by her beloved husband, Albert, and her two daughters, Chantal and
Rachelle. Mourning with them are seven sisters Margaret, Helen (Henry)
Thiessen, Betty (Bill) McIntyre, Nettie (Don) Heppner, Ann, Susan
(Garry) Kehler and Eva (Cliff) Stobbe, as well as two brothers, Abe
and Jake (Elaine). Mary also leaves behind many Vermette family
members, as well as nieces, nephews and countless friends scattered
around the globe. Mary was predeceased by her mother, Helena Loewen,
in 1971, her father, Abram A. Klassen, in 1977, and her sister, Tena
Neufeld, in 2000. Mary greatly appreciated her Mennonite heritage and
the Christian nurture from her parents, close friends and church. She
was baptized upon confession of her faith in the Neuanlage Grace
Mennonite church, near Hague, Saskatchewan. As an adult, she attended
the Canadian Mennonite Bible College (now CMU), where she graduated
with a Christian Education degree. Several years later, she met and
married Albert. Much searching, counselling and prayer dominated their
courtship, leading to Mary's decision to join Albert in the Catholic
church. Mary's passion for sacred music led to participation in
numerous choirs, namely the Saskatchewan University Greystone Singers,
Thompson Aurora Singers, the Mennonite Oratorio choir, les Intrépides,
and various church choirs and small vocal ensembles. Apart from
cooking, reading, and golfing, Mary especially appreciated her travels
around the world with Albert, during which they always attempted to
connect with the locals. However, peace, reconciliation and Christian
unity were priorities in Mary's life, leading her to participate in
various ecumenical projects. Close friendships, a listening ear and
quiet support were characteristic of Mary. She was always thankful for
the privilege of living a rich, fulfilled life. She wishes to leave a
quote by Jean Vanier: Let's begin by establishing peace first within
our hearts, and then in the hearts of others. Let's create communities
and families of peace. Isn't that the responsibility of each one of
us? The family wishes to thank Dr. Czarnecka, Dr. Jolly, Dr. Grenier,
Dr. Dabrovska and all the wonderful care by support staff, family and
friends. Funeral will be held on Wednesday January 30, 2008 at 10:30

father Marcel Toupin officiating. In lieu of flowers, please send

Affordable, good looking sisal scratchers! What? I saw these scratchers last fall at the SuperZoo Expo, and I was very excited. The folks at Hagen really do know how to design something that fills a gap in the market. Their new modern sisal cat scratchers are now available from Amazon for less than $20. Yes! That's right! There are two styles, the Hourglass and the Vase. Both are wrapped with sisal rope and have an opening in the top where you can put toys or catnip to entice kitty to scratch.
They're not extremely tall, the Hourglass is just 18″ tall and the Vase is 13.5″, but they have a great shape and the base looks sturdy. We haven't tried them out yet, so I can't speak for the durability, so let me know what you think if you try one.

Tex Perkins reckons he was about five or six years old when he first heard Johnny Cash.
"A Boy Named Sue was one of those songs that was always on the radio when I was a kid," he recalls. "The thing that always struck me about Johnny Cash's songs is that they always told a story, and that's what engages a child a lot quicker than your usual average pop lyrics."
Perkins is about to return to Perth for a second tour of The Man in Black: The Johnny Cash Story, which won a Helpmann Award for Best Contemporary Australian Concert back in 2010. He'll be ably supported by Rachael Tidd (who plays June Carter) and the Tennessee Four, not only performing some of Cash's greatest hits but also telling the tale of the great man's complex, often difficult life.
"Johnny Cash's lyrics were the first time I'd ever heard mention of the dirty side of life," Perkins says. "But often it was done in a humorous context, and that defined a lot of what he did.
"When I started in bands, his music was incredibly important. We were doing an inept 16-year-old's version of punkabilly and his music was perfect because it had cool lyrics, pretty simple music, and you could get away with playing a lot of it on two strings. The absolute simplicity - combined with lines like 'I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die' - I mean, half our set, at one stage, was Johnny Cash songs."
As Perkins' career progressed from the early days of the Dum Dums and the Beasts of Bourbon into the Cruel Sea and beyond, he went through a period of not listening to Cash's music at all.
"I left it behind for quite a long time and didn't think about it," he says. "I moved into that sort of noisy, messy, weirdo stuff and started exploring all sorts of music. But when Cash started that final comeback, that run of albums that Rick Rubin produced, a lot of people went: 'Wow, that's right - Johnny Cash!' It reignited his career as well as everyone else's perspective on him."
One of Cash's last great recordings was a cover version of Nine Inch Nails' Hurt, which Perkins will perform alongside the earlier classic material, including Ring of Fire, I Walk the Line and Folsom Prison Blues.
"By the time this show popped up, it was exactly the right time for me," Perkins says. "I don't think the producer, Jim McPherson, realised just how up for it I was and how qualified I was, in a way, to do it. I think they just looked around for a rock muso who might have had a passing familiarity."
Although Perkins dons the black suit and slicks his hair back, he says he's not really "acting" in The Man in Black.
"I think that's why the show works so well," he says. "They picked the right guy. I don't really have to change too much about my own persona to do the show. I know this shtick - I've been there, and I have a true connection to and affection for the music."

School's out, but for Harker Heights senior C.J. Bobbitt, there is no time to rest.
Bobbitt has been playing for the Texas D1 Ambassadors-Carlton traveling team.
Last season, Bobbitt was a District 8-5A all-district first team selection after helping the Knights win the district title and making it to the Class 5A Sweet 16 before falling to No. 2 DeSoto.
The Ambassadors have competed in tournaments in seven states.
Bobbitt talked with Albert Alvarado about summer basketball and competing for the Ambassadors.
How long of a break did you take from basketball after the playoff loss to DeSoto?
I didn't rest that long, I'd say about two weeks of time off to recover from the postseason. I was real antsy about getting back out there and play after we lost to DeSoto. I was still real sick. I couldn't go back to school the next two days. I was trying to get my wind back and get back where I was at before.
What made you want to play for the Ambassadors?
I was playing for a Nike team for the past two years. It was good exposure, but now on the Ambassadors, I'm on the main court every time we play. It's pretty much all eyes on my team and me. It's a lot more exposure.
How different is it to compete for a club team and Heights?
With pretty much any AAU team, we don't really go over plays or anything. We just go out there. We have so many good players and it's organized, but it's not organized. We don't have a lot of plays or anything, and we don't work on defense either. In high school, we have set days where we go over just one thing. Tuesdays and Thursdays are straight defense and then Mondays and Wednesdays are straight offense.
Your father Celneque is your high school coach. Does he still critique your club team play?
He coaches me all the way to the house. He'll coach me to my sleep. There's no time off. He's always a coach.
What's it like playing with Rashard Odomes and Malik Malone?
It doesn't really bother me to play with them, and it's also helping me out on the court. I kind of get to see their tendencies and what they're doing, so it helps me when district comes around.
What's been the best tournament or venue you've played in as a member of the Ambassadors?
When we went to Florida. Playing in front of Jerry Stackhouse was a really good experience.

M&A Roundup: Cincinnati Children's Signs Affiliation with TN Hospital
As 2012 winds down, healthcare consolidation continues.
Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center has signed an agreement to provide children at Niswonger Children's Hospital, a Mountain States Health Alliance affiliate in Johnson City, TN access to specialized services.
"This affiliation will not only help us improve the care we can offer at Niswonger Children's Hospital, but it will also allow us to keep more children close to home for their care," Steven Godbold, MSHA vice president and CEO of Niswonger Children's Hospital, said in a media release. "We're excited to be able to tap into the clinical expertise of such a world-renowned organization to benefit children and families right here at home."
Under the agreement, Cincinnati Children's will:
- Create and manage an onsite hospitalist program that will collaborate with the faculty at East Tennessee State University's James H. Quillen College of Medicine. The program will focus on quality improvement, standardization of best practices, patient safety, and driving down costs.
- Provide electronic interpretation of electroencephalograms (Tele-EEGs) by pediatric neurophysiologists to diagnose epilepsy and other neurological disorders.
"We are looking forward to working with our colleagues at Niswonger Children's to enhance existing health care capabilities and address specific unmet needs for patients and families in the region," said Arnold W. Strauss, MD, director of the Cincinnati Children's Research Foundation.
Niswonger operates 69 licensed beds, including 39 beds for neonatal intensive care. It is the region's only state-designated perinatal center, and serves more than 200,000 children in 29 counties in four states.

France Needs New Power Plants, Grid Warns Again
Date: 07-Jan-05
Country: FRANCE
Author: Marguerita Choy
No new large power plants have been built since 1993 in France, despite rising consumption. France is Europe's top power producer and exporter due to a surplus in capacity, thanks to its 58 nuclear reactors.
Demand last year grew 2.2 percent to 477.2 terawatt hours, said the grid in its annual review.
RTE released a study in 2003 that showed a growing risk of blackouts after 2008 as there could be insufficient production capacity, especially during the peak winter heating season.
"The results for the growth in electricity consumption in France only reinforces this study," RTE's head Andre Merlin said on presenting France's annual electricity statistics.
The report said that France needed 1,000 megawatts (MW) of new power capacity a year after 2008 to meet peak demand.
It also said growing consumption will increase the need to boost demand for baseload in France by 2017/2018.
Merlin said this was not as big a concern as France has already launched plans to bring on a new European pressurised water reactor (EPR) by 2012 as 30 of its reactors due to retire after 2020.
RTE, 100-percent owned by state-owned EDF, is preparing a new study, which it will present to the government in the first half of this year.
"We are giving a signal that after 2008 there will be problems if there is no new means of production. Electricite de France [EDF.UL] has classic (coal and fuel oil-fired) power plants which it can bring back into service," Merlin said.
The growth rate in French power production was steady last year, rising 1.1 percent last year, compared with 1.2 percent in the previous year.
France produced 546.6 TWh of electricity in 2004, with output from nuclear rising 1.7 percent to 426.8 TWh, hydro-power up 0.4 percent to 64.5 TWh, and coal and oil-fired production down 2.1 percent to 55.3 TWh. Wind generation produced 0.5 TWh.
Last year's demand growth was marked by a rise in large industrial consumers' usage, which grew by 1.9 percent from 2003, while small and medium consumers bought 2.7 percent more power.
RTE said 0.4 percent of the consumption growth was due to a four public holidays in 2004 falling on weekends.
When corrected for seasonality, French power consumption last year rose 1.7 percent from 2003.

Dr Petra
In this month's UK edition of Cosmopolitan there's a fascinating article on sex surrogacy by Julia Buckley. In the piece two sex surrogates are interviewed – a female sex surrogate who works with male clients, and a male surrogate who works with female clients. Both surrogates in the Cosmo feature deal with clients who want to improve their sexual abilities or to have sexual experiences. They detail how they work with clients, what they think their surrogacy offers, and how they keep a split between their work and home life.
Sex surrogacy is an interesting and controversial area. For some, sex surrogacy is seen as a legitimate form of therapy or care. Supporters claim that it is a means of helping people learn more about their body, improve sexual techniques, reduces sexual problems, and is an opportunity for those with disabilities or serious physical or mental health problems to enjoy pleasurable sexual experiences. Detractors argue that it's just another word for prostitution (which they view negatively) and is not an ethical or professional form of giving therapy or education about the body.
I find the issue of how 'hands on' we are within sex therapy and research a really important area that needs discussion and debate. For any other area of therapy or research it is possible to teach or coach clients, or to observe them engaging in activities they wish to improve or are having problems with. Yet when it comes to sex we're growing increasingly 'hands off'. Sex research, while it can – and should – be about observing people have sex and measuring their responses, is much more likely to be conducted in much more distanced ways using surveys or interviews. There are a variety of methods we can use to study sex, but we tend to use ones that require self report, rather than observing actual behaviour.
Of course there's a good reason to offer a variety of methods to study sex. Many who'd want to be observed having sex or who'd want to show their body to a researcher probably won't be representative of the general population so we'd have to be cautious in how we used any data from such research. And offering questionnaires or interviews online or over the phone could allow for those who're more shy or who're talking about very sensitive topics to share their stories.
The same issue affects sex therapy where it's much more common for those with problems to be referred homework they do outside of the therapist's view, and to read books and report back on their experiences rather than have sex under the watchful eye of a professional or be guided by a therapist/surrogate who has sex with clients.
There are some valid reasons why this climate exists. Sadly there has been a high level of widespread sexual abuse amongst therapists to clients (particularly male therapists abusing women). Plus sex therapists and researchers working in a primarily sex negative cultural climate wish to appear professional and respectable and so distance themselves from the sexually charged elements of their work.
However, there's a growing group of people offering sex surrogacy and this needs to be examined. Some who offer surrogacy are clearly well intentioned and caring people who've clearly thought carefully about the support or treatment they'll be offering their clients. Some are driven by spiritual or political agendas. Some will work with clients with disabilities or health problems, while others specialise in clients who just want to learn better sexual skills. Some have undergone training from a surrogacy organisation, some have created their own brand of surrogacy.
Different approaches guide their work, but most seem to offer a mix of confidence building, massage, meditation, breathing techniques, as well as touching and sexual contact. Most sex surrogates do not see themselves as prostitutes (although they do charge for their services) but align themselves more closely with sex therapists. Some do define themselves as prostitutes but see their role as a sex worker as one that is nurturing and therapeutic. Some see their private and working lives as intertwined, others see the sex they have with clients and sex they have with partners as entirely separate and enforce a strict home/work split.
I'm all in favour of offering sex surrogacy as a valid option to help people improve their sexual lives. Where I have concerns is around issues of efficacy and regulation. I have met people who call themselve sex surrogates who I think are inspiring and who have a lot to teach the wider sexological community. But I have also met surrogates who I feel are not skilled, qualified or caring, who charge money for services that seem to have no therapeutic value, and who claim qualifications they do not have.
For instance, a few years ago I met a couple who offer hands on sex therapy. They teach masturbation, sexual practices and also masturbate clients to show them how to orgasm. Which is fine. Except they were charging a great deal of money for the service and had clients who obviously needed referrals to medical or psychological support who they were not referring. Instead they were recommending their own aromatherapy products and suggesting that doctors wouldn't be much help. When I asked what qualifications they had they told me one had no qualifications, the other had been on a course in Indian head massage.
There are obvious tensions between sex therapists, psychologists, medics and researchers with sex surrogates. The former group are keen on regulation, standards and measuring performance. Surrogates, particularly those working from political or spiritual perspectives, do not always like the concept of measurement or regulation. And they dislike the snobbery and heirarchies of the therapeutic/medical professions.
Medics and therapists are seeing clients who've been to surrogates and had negative experiences, and surrogates are seeing clients who've been profoundly let down by the medical or therapeutic community.
Way back in the 1970s there were calls for a wider debate on how we proceed with the issue of surrogacy, with suggestions that surrogacy could be a valid form of treatment – but it needed careful training, support and regulation in order to protect both clients and professionals. We've still not had this discussion properly. Leonore Tiefer has recently revisited aspects of this debate in her paper "Sex therapy as a humanistic exercise" in the journal Sexual and Relationship Therapy (copies can be ordered from the journal if you're interested in the wider paper). It's great that magazines like Cosmo are raising the issue of surrogacy. Let's hope the wider sexological and surrogacy communities feel able to further this debate.
If you are considering seeing a sex surrogate it's worth co sidering the following…
- Do you have a problem with your mental or physical health (including a potential sexually transmitted infection or sexual problem). If so you should consult with your GP first.
- Is your relationship in trouble? If you are having problems with your partner then it may be better to see a relationship therapist.
- Have you got a sexual problem (for example caused by previous abuse, a view that sex is bad or dirty, or another issue that's getting in the way of enjoying sex). If so, you may want to see a sex therapist. You can get psychosexual therapy on the NHS (although there can be a waiting list) ask your GP for a referral. Alternatively you can refer yourself to a therapist privately.
- Is sex uncomfortable or painful? If so, speak to a doctor.
There's no reason why you shouldn't see a sex surrogate, but if you have any of the above problems they should not be your first port of call – and you should let your doctor or therapist know if you are also seeing a sex surrogate.
Sex surrogates should be avoided if….
- They do not practice safer sex (use condoms or dental dams)
- They make you feel uncomfortable or embarrassed
- They do not listen to your needs, fears or desires
- They discourage you from speaking to your doctor or another therapist
- You feel pressured into sexual activities you do not enjoy
- They move at a pace that is too fast for you, or make you feel you're there to please them
- They advocate any alternative therapies that are not supported by your doctor
- You are taking any medication or seeing a therapist and they suggest you stop treatment
- They cannot tell you what ideas or philosophies underpin the work they do
- They seem to be charging more than a regular private therapist would
- There seems to be a lot of hidden charges and you have to pay for many 'extras' (e.g. lubricant or sex toys)
- You have a disability and they make you feel uncomfortable or ashamed as a result, or if they try things with you that your disability does not allow.
Remember you do not have to keep on seeing a surrogate, and you can leave if they do not make you feel comfortable.
The organisation ICASA and the International Professional Surrogates Association offer sex surrogacy and may be worth contacting if you are interested in this area either as a therapist or medic interested in referring patients/clients, a sex surrogate, or as a potential client. However it is worth noting ICASA has a mixed reputation among professionals and clients and not everyone is keen on their ideologies and approaches. Again, there is a problem of approaches and outcomes being independently for this organisation, which reminds us of the need for evaluating and monitoring surrogacy. If you are disabled and would like more information on surrogacy there's stacks of useful links at TLC Trust. You can read one person's account of seeing a surrogate here.
I'm still in favour of using surrogacy within our sex therapy and education – and for a more hands on approach to the study of sex and treatment of sexual problems. But I do still feel there's a lot of ethical, legal and professional problems to be ironed out – and it's time we made a greater effort to do this.Tweet

NEW YORK (AP) Richie Incognito was fined $50,000 by the NFL on Friday for two unnecessary roughness fouls, punctuating a rough week for the guard.
Playing for the Rams last Sunday in a 47-7 loss at Tennessee, Incognito head-butted Sen'Derrick Marks in the first half. He did the same thing to Vincent Fuller later in the half, then was benched by coach Steve Spagnuolo.
The Rams released him Tuesday and he signed with Buffalo on Thursday.
Incognito was fined for the head-butt on Marks and for a late hit against Fuller. The infractions were his fifth and sixth for unnecessary roughness penalties this season.
In a letter to Incognito, NFL executive vice president of football operations Ray Anderson wrote: "Future infractions of the types you have committed may lead to increased disciplinary action up to and including suspension."
Tennessee linebacker Keith Bulluck was fined $10,000 by the NFL for throwing a football into the stands in celebration after an interception in that game. The Titans won 47-7.
Also fined was Jets linebacker Bart Scott , hit for $5,000 for unnecessary roughness. Scott knocked the helmet off Tampa Bay's Adam Hayward in the third quarter of New York's 26-3 win, also drawing a 15-yard penalty.
On Wednesday, Giants center Shaun O'Hara and Eagles defensive end Trent Cole were fined $15,000 each for a scuffle at the end of Sunday's game at Giants Stadium.
O'Hara, who plans to appeal, appeared to stiff-arm Cole in the facemask in the closing seconds of the Eagles' 45-38 win. Cole retaliated by throwing a couple of punches.

The Night Manager (original 1993; edition 1993)
by John Le Carre
Work details
The Night Manager by John le Carré (1993)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The truth that your past will catch up with you is well presented by a master of the genre. Though I found the ending perhaps overly sentimental, compared to some Le Carre earlier works, this is still a fine way to spend a couple of evenings for the over-forty crowd. The young are too cynical for complete appreciation.
Another strong entry. Also, started but didn't finish the BBC miniseries with Hugh Laurie before I read this; may go back and watch it now.
I had high hopes for The Night Manager because le Carré is a very good writer in general. Even if the spy story ended up being convoluted, I could appreciate his turns of phrase and the settings he chose. But with this book, the story is told in a weird, detached way (especially the Cornwall sequence), and it flashes backwards and forwards and in the middle at a dizzying rate. My favourite bits were in the hotel at the beginning (they had a very Grand Budapest Hotel kind of feel) and the interlude in Quebec (because yay Canada). That being said, there was a detail in the Quebec scene that I found jarring: Pine is rumbled and has to flee rather abruptly, so someone gives him a bunch of dollar bills to help him disappear. The only problem is, the book was written (and presumably set) in 1993, and dollar bills were taken out of circulation in Canada in 1987. Dollar bills would have been VERY conspicuous. Maybe they were two-dollar bills? They certainly wouldn't have been US dollar bills because the town was in northern Quebec, not on the Canada-US border. I was prepared to overlook that detail, because it seemed unnecessarily picky, but the storytelling style didn't work for me, so I gave up. I think I'll just watch the TV adaptation.
This was the first John Le Carre book I've read and I'll admit it I read it partially because I knew there was a mini series coming out for it on tv. (which is pretty enjoyable fyi). Anyway, the book didn't grab me right away but it kept my attention for the first few pages until I was into it. The character of Jonathan kind of confused me when he met Jed. He's attracted to her but thinks she's a total idiot?? That didn't make sense to me at all. Jonathan seemed kind of flaky himself when it came to romantic relationships. Almost too knight-in-shining-armor like he had some PTSD that he never dealt with. And I thought the last couple of chapters were less than fulfilling- and abrupt. I would have thought the ending would have been much different than it really was.
I might try another Le Carre later this year to see if maybe I'd have better luck getting my attention grabbed.
When the Berlin Wall came down, and the Cold War ended, many people speculated what the future would hold in store for writers of spy fiction. John le Carre had established himself at the forefront of that genre, and critics waited with considerable interest to see how he would react to the changed times, and the virtual removal of his literary context.
'The Night Manager' was his first novel to be published in the post Cold War era, and it demonstrated that he wasn't particularly worried about adapting to a new agenda. The book bears all the hallmarks of his previous works: that extraordinary prose style that no-one has ever managed to emulate but which seems to flow so naturally and effortlessly for him, the air of despair encompassing his leading characters and a close attention to detail that always lends his novels such a depth of verisimilitude.
The protagonist, the night manager himself, is Jonathan Pine, a former soldier with more than customary amounts of career and family baggage, who has ended up working at a luxurious hotel in Zurich where he presides over the night shift. His attention is caught when Richard Roper, an immensely wealthy international tycoon, descends upon the hotel with his considerable retinue at short notice in the middle of a protracted blizzard. Pine has encountered Roper before and has a grudge to resolve. As the novel unfolds as Pine embarks on an espionage mission to expose Roper's dubious operations, going under deep cover, with professional assistance.
While not quite up to le Carre at his best, such as in 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy', this remains a very effective novel, cleverly plotted and delicately layered.
Is "The Night Manager" up to the best of John le Carré? The equivocal answer has to be: yes, but only where it concerns the worlds of Roper and the London and Washington agencies. Their activities are handled with total assurance and an evident and infectious enjoyment. Elsewhere, however, Mr. le Carré sometimes surrenders to the inescapably sensational nature of the espionage thriller, and also to a romanticism about women that leads to the creation of a pipe-dream fantasy rather than a character in Jed, Roper's mistress.
In his superb new novel […] he works familiar territory with the mastery of a brilliant conductor returning to a favorite symphony. […] Through every page, the almost-numb heart and mind of Le Carre's still- honorable protagonist give this novel a heartbreaking gravity.
The Night Manager also obeys solid and readable conventions. […] But in seeking to move with the times, Le Carre has produced an adventure of the most old-fashioned and predictable sort. […] Hovering over this extravagant saga is a moralising, allegorical tendency that continues to drain the energy out of Le Carre's natural storytelling gift.

NEW YORK: Miley Cyrus became the rare artist to upstage Lady Gaga, but a vengeful Taylor Swift managed to take the spotlight from both during the MTV Video Music Awards.
Swift appeared to utter an expletive when One Direction appeared at Sunday night's award show — a moment that lit up Twitter — before thanking a former beau for helping her win another moonman trophy for I Knew You Were Trouble.
"I also want to thank the person who inspired this song, who knows exactly who he is, because I got one of these," Swift said. "Thank you so much!"
Gaga changed costumes four times during her first return to the stage since hip surgery as she performed her new single Applause at the top of the show. It was a predictably unpredictable appearance for Gaga, who seemed to pump in boos over the sound system as she opened the song in a white nun's habit and square headdress. By the time she finished the song, she was surrounded by unitard-clad male dancers and wearing a thong bikini decorated in shells and a long blonde wig.
Cyrus immediately kicked things up well beyond provocative, however, as she appeared on stage with a multitude of dancing teddy bears in a bodysuit adorned with a cartoon character. She danced provocatively — a fad known as "twerking" — to her song We Can't Stop. Then she changed into a nude bikini, ran a fan's foam finger along her privates as Robin Thicke appeared on stage to perform Blurred Lines, then gave the singer a lap dance.
"Miley better go get a pregnancy test after all that grinding," comedian Kevin Hart joked afterward.
Gaga and Cyrus were just the first of a cavalcade of music's top stars performing Sunday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where the awards were held for the first time.
The video of the year trophy was the final memorable moment of a night full of them for Justin Timberlake. He won the top honor for Mirrors on the same night he reunited briefly with 'N Sync and received the Michael Jackson Vanguard Video Award.
"I don't deserve the award, but I'm not going to give it back," Timberlake said. "I'm taking this home."
Timberlake, dressed in a black suit and black hat with a red feather, powered through a breathless series of solo hits before the other four members of 'N Sync — JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, and Lance Bass — joined him on stage, opening with Bye Bye Bye.
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis were the night's top winners, taking home best hip-hop video for Can't Hold Us and best video with a social message for Same Love, a marriage equality anthem.
"Gay rights are human rights," Macklemore said during the telecast. "There is no separation."
Other winners included Pink and Nate Ruess for best collaboration, Thirty Seconds to Mars for best rock video and Selena Gomez for best pop video. Bruno Mars won best male video and One Direction took the prize for best song of the summer.

Musk stick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Musk sticks are a popular confection in Australia and New Zealand, available from many different suppliers. Having withstood the test of time,[1] musk sticks consist of a semi-soft stick, usually pink, and often extruded with a ridged cross-section. Their flavour and aroma is quite floral, reminiscent of musk perfume. They are also called 'musk sweets' and 'musk lollies'. Also available is a fruit-flavoured variant called "Fruit sticks", which look like coloured musk sticks.
Musk-flavoured mints are produced by companies such as the Dollar Sweets Company. They are sold through supermarkets under the Dollar Sweets brand and also through Lion Clubs Australia under the Lion Mints brand.

Mommy I Love You - Poem by Tessa Gaoses
I know my passing pains you deeply
You look out to life so sadly
The grief at times so overwhelming
The pain of it so excruciating
You smile, you laugh, and you chat
Putting on a façade for others
Because want them you do not
To worry about you a lot
But the sorrow is ever present
In your private thoughts ever existent
I was your baby and so much you wanted
But losing me so young you never expected
Your dreams were of joy and happiness
They were of achievement and success
Graduation, career, family, grandbabies
Not pain, agony and emptiness
But mommy I was happy
Because you made my life special
You were my best friend
My trusted confidante
Yet you were my mother
You gave me life and guarded it
Therefore my passing overwhelms you
You question why it had to be so
Could I not have survived?
Why was my end so tragic?
Yet you trust that God knows best
He alone can console you
But mommy I am at peace now
I know no pain or sorrow
Heaven is a joyful place
I sing with the angels daily
But I know that you are sad
And that breaks my heart
But mommy I did not leave you
I am always by your side
My love will ever surround you
In the memories of me you have
You are the best mother
And mommy I love you

This morning, I woke up thinking about writing and photography. It's as if there are two people living inside me and every now and then they battle over my time. One is a writer, the other a photographer and they're both constantly at odds with each other over who gets to come out and play when I have time away from work and life's responsibilities.
The writer in me is upset because she hasn't been out for quite a while now. She has so much to work on, too. A short erotic piece about our first date with our girl, thoughts on a quote we keep thinking about and the ever present essay book we've been working on here and there. She really wants to sit down and take this stuff seriously. She needs time to do that. No. She needs to be prioritized.
The photographer has gotten all of the free time lately with photo shoots every weekend for the past few weeks. Each photo shoot is followed by the editing of the photos then getting the good ones back to the person she took photos of. Then there's the wait. The anticipation that ensues when waiting for the response. Will they like them? Will they hate them? Did I do a good job? What could I have done differently? Should I continue to pursue this avenue of photography? How can I learn more, do more, be more?
Adding to all of this is the musician inside me wanting to pick up that guitar that's been sitting in the corner looking ever so lonely and suddenly there aren't enough hours in each day. I want to do it all! But, finding a focus and sticking with it has been my challenge. Perhaps it will always be my challenge.
Am I looking for something? Am I looking to find satisfaction or completion in any of these things? Perhaps, to a certain extent I am. Perfection might be more like it. But, how to get to that place when I'm not focused on just one thing? Is it possible? Is it possible for me to do it all and be successful? Successful in both writing and photography and maybe just a decent at guitar pickin'? Then there's the question of my definition of success. Who's definition is it, exactly? What does success look like to me?
Oh, so many things to ponder this morning.
Welcome to my brain. Be careful of where you step. It's a bit cluttered around here.

Traditional Icelandic three cornered shawl
This pattern was available in Icelandic and English. A very similar pattern is still available here.
This is a classic Icelandic three cornered shawl made in the simplest way in garter stitch with simple yarn-overs to do the increases. It's a suitable project even for beginners.
The simplicity of the shawl gives you the possibility of adding your own touch to it, for example with a crochet edge.
This version is knit up in Nammi - my handdyed Icelandic wool - but you can use any type of similar weight yarn for nice results.
The needles used are relatively large which gives a light and airy feeling shawl.
50 grams of Nammi will give you a small shawl, children's sized or small for an adult. 100 grams will give you a fully grown adult's shawl.
