Paris heat is no different than Atlanta heat, so you're already an authority on how to handle it. Light colors, cotton, and drink lots of water. Skirts for the girls?
The only that might be different about Paris heat is that it probably cools down more quickly in the evenings than in Atlanta. I'm in Florida and in the summer temps will linger above 90 well into the evening. I hope it's not like that for you on your vacation especially if your place has no AC.

Sun dresses. I saw shorts in Dublin last week on kids when it was 65! Bring on the sandals, people wear whatever now. Hope you have fans at least.
Report Abuse
Why wouldn't girls that age wear shorts? Local teenagers do (except when visiting churches, where shorts may be a problem). Sandals are fine, if you don't mind dirty feet.
Here in Belgium it's was only about 12 celsius this morning. Last week was very cold too. Bring on the heatwave, I say!
Report Abuse
Heat will be worse in Paris since many places do not have AC - or have european type AC - which lowers the temps but not to the 72 american expect.
I would avoid shorts for adults - light skirts or capris instead. Sandals are fine but you also need closed shoes for days when it rains. And be aware that these temps are not normal for this time of year and it may get rapidly back to the upper 70s (although I have been in Paris when it was over 90 for 5 or 6 days in a row).
Report Abuse
I don't understand the ban on shorts, especially for kids and adolescents. Here in Italy, the latest teen fashion is shorts that are so succint, there's no way they could be made shorter. A little googling will find the same style in France. By the way, dazzling white sneakers are also in.

If it's hot, I'm wearing shorts. That's how it's going down.

We were in Paris for 12 days last July with our two daughters (14 and 11 years old) and I thought a lot about how to pack so I understand your concerns!
It was only warm for 2 days, the rest of the days were 60s and rain on and off.
On those warm, 80+ degree days, it was very warm particularly because the restaurants open their doors and windows and there didn't seem to be any air-conditioning, and even in museums where there is a/c, it's not as strong as it is here (or at least that was our impression). Our kids wore shorts and sandals and it was fine. I was also concerned about looking appropriate and respectful but they seemed to fit in. There are so many tourists looking much "worse" than we did Parisians do dress well so I tried to make sure my kids didn't look too sloppy.
On the cooler days Parisians were dressed for the weather, not for the season. So we saw a lot of leather jackets and boots, even though it was July.
I personally didn't wear shorts but my husband did and frankly he was not the norm; you don't see many men in shorts. But he wanted to be comfortable.
I wore lightweight pants and short sleeves or a dress when it was warm. When it cooled down (again, most days were cool), jeans or black jeans were my staple, with very comfortable flats. And don't forget a lightweight jacket and long-sleeve shirts or sweaters. We ended up buying some warmer shirts for the kids while we were there because we didn't pack enough long-sleeves. Not sure how long you'll be there but our experience was that the weather was very changeable.
Enjoy! It was so much fun for the kids. And if I can give a little non-solicited advice...we went to the Eiffel Tower late one night. Decided to walk up, which was so easy. Really! No lines at all to do the stairs. Then walked down and stayed to watch the tower lights twinkle at 10pm. Definitely a highlight of the trip.

Air conditioning works just as well IN Paris as it does in New York, believe me. Hopefully you have it where you are sleeping. Mommy, you are NOT going to heaven by making the kids miserable with that shorts ban.

I don't know. If I was 14, I wouldn't mind at all rushing out to buy skirts and sundresses for my trip to Paris.
Edward, my husband has a pair of very lightweight pants for hot weather travel. They're by Columbia, very comfortable.

Yes local kids that age wear shorts and sandals so why shouldn't yours? they may be the only ones in those temps not wearing shorts!
Tell them to dress as they would in their hometown - very little difference amongst youths these days in France or U.S.
Air conditioning works just as well IN Paris as it does in New York, believe me.>
Oh don't believe that - Paris rarely gets extreme hear and AC may not be up to the job of 90s even IF they have it - depends on the type of hotel - modern chains like IBIS or Novotel will certainly have decent AC but older places maybe none or insufficient ones.

Why on earth wouldn't people wear shorts in Paris? The Parisians certainly do, unless they are dressed for going to work.

Where does this stereotype come from that folks in Paris don't wear shorts? Or sandals? Was true years ago that only young school kids wore shorts and shorts were frowned on - but that has not been the case for decades.

Skirts and dresses are great to wear in Paris in temps like those. They keep you cool and look stylish.
Report Abuse
People who are worried about looking stylish when they travel probably shouldn't go anywhere in the first place, because not only will they always get it wrong, but they will constantly think that people are looking at them (and not approvingly) and it will diminish their enjoyment of the trip. If you want to see stylish clothes, just buy a few magazines and save your money.

I completely agree with kerouac, palen, sanderskn, et al. Comfortable clothes are the way to go for vacation travel. Locals will know you're a tourist no matter how you dress. Besides, it's not as if your choice is to dress either for a fashion show or as a flood victim.
Report Abuse
I. Your girls can wear whatever they like--that's not a problem one bit. They are visiting a country, not meeting the in-laws or applying to college (yet).
At the same time, I do think sundresses and cute skirts are a great idea. Well-scrubbed and well-dressed kids (and adults!) are welcome in ANY culture.
My husband does not wear shorts, but he has super lightweight pants that work.
II. Sandals are just fine-I can't imagine not packing my dressy Tevas in summer when I'm having to walk all over tarnation and my "restaurant shoes" are sandals, too.
Athletic shoes are just fine (all of Europe wears them).
Shoes to REMOVE from the kids' packing list, though, for OTHER reasons:
--flats (really bad for miles of walking)unless for just inside a restaurant
--flip-flops (ditto) unless for around house
--and backless sandals (risky on escalators, stairs, etc especially when they'll be dragging roll-on luggage, too)
Yeah, my little girls, now adults, fought me a tad my shoe restrictions until they traveled on their own as teens and found out the hard way. I chuckled when I saw what they packed on their most recent trips with us.
III. I agree that the temp probably will drop in Paris during your stay and always do be prepared for some rain.
French AC generally does NOT work the same in France as it does in Atlanta and Florida where I swear that I(I'm from the Northeast)have to pile on a winter coat to enter a restaurant or a store.
So you can view that as a bad or as a good thing.
I've tended to view it as good.
Enjoy your trip and your girls.
We did!

I am grateful for many of the comments. Yes we know HEAT in Atlanta (and thus were excited for cooler temps in Paris. In Atlanta though girls are in athletic shorts or shorty jean shorts and tank tops... if we were traveling to NYC I would suggest more spiffy clothes than that so I think the same for Paris. I disagree that comfort alone is the ONLY thing to think about.
My girls are excited about being stylish in Paris. They want to be stylish and not stand out like tourists. Yes maybe that's a fool's errand but I think there are degrees. And my guess is that it's appreciated... a little.

Maybe it's time to drag out this old report of mine showing how Parisians dress in June in my own non touristy neighbourhood: http://anyportinastorm.proboards.com/thread/4183/paris-streetwear-june-2010

Great, if they want to be stylish and dress up, let them. But be aware that local teenagers will be probably be wearing Abercrombie & Fitch shorts and tanktops, with all-stars. Or maybe casual dresses with trainers or sandals.
Point is that your kids should wear whatever they are comfortable in: don't buy something especially for the Paris trip that they would not otherwise wear. And if you get to Paris and find that local girls dress differently; go shopping there. If you make them leave their shorts and tops at home, and they get to Paris and see kids wearing exactly that, you are going to be off to a bad start.
This goes for daily sightseeing. I wouldn't advise short shorts and tanktops in smart restaurants.

Kerouac, the links to the photos didn't work for me. I could see only the text.
SFMasterG, remember that if you're too stylish, especially with an American concept of "stylish", you'll be tempting targets for pickpockets!
Since Kerouac's photos may not be visible, I googled "LaModePourLesJeuneFilles" and came up with this Facebook page.
Scroll down a bit, and on the right you should see the following photo:
If you look at the photo gallery, you'll see lots of other similar photos, including some that show the teeny weeny shorts worn with dazzling white trainers, as I said above. That's exactly the look that's totally in right now for young girls in Italy also. It's probably the rage all over Europe.
This forum is full of Americans who refuse to believe people who actually live in Europe on certain topics.

Exactly Bvlenci! The ripped jeans short, with a top and white converse. That's what kids here wear too when it's warm (I live in Belgium).
I can just imagine these girls from Atlanta dressed to the nines in Paris, while the local kids wear this;
They've just opened a shop in Antwerp - very popular with teens.

I'll leave the fashions to those who know about that stuff, but here are some tips for dealing with the heat - which won't be the same as it is in Atlanta.
It's much drier in Paris, even when it's "humid". So, you'll dehydrate much faster and will need to keep drinking water. Tap water is free when you order something else, and perfectly fine to drink.
Ice is still pretty scarce, around Paris. You can ask for lots of ice, but don't be surprised it you only get 3 cubes.
Stay in the shade and move slowly. Sit down and rest - a lot. I see tourists rushing around then suddenly look like they're ready to pass out - and a few of them do.
Your apartment probably doesn't have a/c that comes anywhere near what you're used to. Ask for fans, if you're not cool enough. It will help, at least a little bit.
The coolest places in Paris are along the riverbank and in the frozen food section of the nearest grocery store.
Hats are a good idea - even baseball caps.
Leave any black, brown or dark blue clothing back home.
Pray for rain.
Report Abuse
OK, Kerouac, I see your photos now.
Tulips, I've noticed that it's essential to the look that the pockets hang down below the hem of the shorts, just to emphasize how short they are.
Report Abuse
Lots of public places IME are not air conditioned - like train stations - in one 90s heat wave several years ago I saw candy bars literally melting away at newsstands - folks who habve brathing problems may want to pay attention to Paris' periodic horrible pollution levels that at times rival Beijing's!
Report Abuse
I am totally with you. Just be aware: You WILL look like tourists, no matter what you do.
Heck, if your oldest isn't hanging around with a cigarette, that's a mark that she's not local.
If the weather is still in the 90s, then please DO let them keep the tank top and short shorts when you are trying to tour everything. I'm a VERY conservative mother as far as dress goes (my politics are a little skewed the other way), but when I'm asking the kid to hike a few miles during the heat of the day in the name of culture, she can pretty much dress anyway she likes.
Of course, I'm still praying that the cute sundresses/skirts might appeal to their sense of style
Report Abuse
My daughter at that age quickly realised that she wasn't allowed in the churches in her shorts on a trip to Italy a few years ago. Sitting outside on the steps in the sun instead listening to Ipod - great bonus for a teenager! No more churches!
The heatwave will probably be two days followed by thunderstorms and rapidly plummeting temperatures.

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) homologous factors (FHFs, FGF11-14) are a family of FGFs that are not secreted, nor activate FGF receptors. Instead, they remain intracellular and bind to the voltage-gated Na+ channel C-terminus and modulate function. FGF14 is a locus for the neurodegenerative disease spinocerebellar ataxia 27 and the disease has been attributed to decreased neuronal excitability from changes in Na+ channel function. However, several lines of evidence, including data from heterologous expression systems and the distribution of FGF13 within the ventricular cardiomyocyte suggested that it also modulates the CaV1.2 voltage-gated Ca2+ channel. The central hypothesis to this study is that FHFs modulate both voltage-gated Na+ and Ca2+ channel channels in the ventricular cardiomyocyte and therefore are loci for cardiac arrhythmia. Using an adult ventricular cardiomyocyte system with adenoviral gene transfer, we manipulated the levels of FGF13 in the cell and performed electrophysiology, biochemistry and immunocytochemistry to analyze the effects on voltage-gated Ca2+ channel channel localization and function. We showed that FGF13 is in complex with Junctophilin-2 and modulates CaV1.2 current density and localization to the t-tubule, leading to changes in Ca2+ channel-induced Ca2+ channel release and ultimately a shortened ventricular action potential. Through collaboration with the Mayo Clinic, a mutation in FGF12, the most highly expressed FHF in human ventricle was found in a patient with Brugada syndrome. Using similar methodology, we determined that this mutation results specifically in a NaV1.5 loss of function without affecting CaV1.2 function, resulting in a Brugada-like ventricular action potential. This data shows that FHFs are potent modulators of multiple ion channels and novel arrhythmogenic loci.

Weight loss has always been a topic that has attracted a lot of attention. Given the huge demand, there are many such products in the market which only aim to cash in on the demand without any attention to the exact worth of the product and if it is ethically appropriate.
That is exactly why let's cut the noise and introduce a product that is natural, recommended by users and known for its effective weight loss capabilities. Yes I am alluding to the NatureWise Garcinia Cambogia, a weight loss supplement like none other and a proven track record of success.
What Are The Key Ingredients?
Even before you take in a small bit of this far burning supplement, it is extremely important to understand, how effective it is and whether it can help you lose weight as promised. This is exactly why a look at its key ingredient is important. It contains:
- 500mg of 100% Garcinia Cambogia Extract
- 40 mg of Calcium
- 60mg Potassium
A combination of this ingredient is then blended with 60% concentration of HCA, a well known suppressant for appetite, fat burner as well as fat blocker.
How Does NatureWise Garcinia Cambogia Work?
This particular product, Naturewise Garcinia Cambogia was founded in 2003. You can argue that it is a natural product and why do we really need to know when it was founded. Well that's because the year and the longer it is in the market, the better it speaks of its credentials.
A relatively affordable weight-loss supplement, it works effectively with appropriate diet and exercise along with it. Essentially a natural product, one of the main ingredient is hydroxycitric acid. An active component it works as a fat blocker and limits the body from using enzymes that convert sugars and carbohydrates into fats to a great extent.
It works in a multi-pronged manner and simultaneously raises the Seteronin level in the brain. Why this helps is because it prevents potential binging or emotional eating which is normally associated with tendencies to overeating and weight gain.
All in all it works tirelessly to improve your general feeling of wellness by helping you develop lean muscles and boosting your energy levels.
What Is The Right Dose?
Be it a medicine or a weight loss supplement, the efficiency of any product is directly proportional to the overall dosage that is prescribed.
A normal adult needs to undertake a standard dose of three capsules a day. In extreme cases, individuals can take upto 9 capsules a day. It is priced extremely sensitively and even at the maximum dosage limit it is not a huge toll on the individual's resources and can easily fit into one's monthly budget.
Does It Have Any Side Effect?
A quick look into the millions of customer reviews indicates that this product has a very low chance of producing any kind of side effect. However if you are already on some other type of medication, it is best to consult your physician before starting on it.
Money-back & Refund Policy
Naturewise Garcinia Cambogia has a 30-day money back and refund policy and can be easily bought over the counter or online from the company's website or even Amazon.

The final 16 contestants in this year's series of The X Factor have been named.
In tonight's Judges' Houses episode, Gary Barlow, Kelly Rowland, Tulisa Contostavlos and Louis Walsh each chose four acts from their assigned category to advance to the live shows.
Barlow picked Marcus Collins, Craig Colton, James Michael and Frankie Cocozza as his Boys, eliminating Luke Lucas, Max Vickers, Joe Cox and returning contestant John Wilding.
Group mentor Contostavlos, meanwhile, opted for Nu Vibe, 2 Shoes and Rhythmix over The Lovettes, Estrella and Girl V Boy. In an X Factor first, she also took Charlie Healy, the lead singer of rejected band The Keys, and put him through as part of rival boyband The Risk.
In the Overs category, Walsh chose for the final shows Kitty Brucknell, Johnny Robinson, Jonjo Kerr and Goldie Cheung, though the latter has been replaced by Samantha Brookes after she chose to quit the show. Joseph Gilligan, Terry Winstanley and Carolynne Poole were sent home.
Rowland, mentor of the Girls category, completed the lineup by selecting Janet Devlin, Amelia Lily, Misha Bryan and Sophie Habibis over Jade Richards, Holly Repton, Melanie McCabe and Sarah Watson.
The Top 16 will sing live for the first time when The X Factor returns for a two-and-a-half hour episode next Saturday at 7.30pm on ITV1, with the first elimination episode on Sunday at 7.30pm.

The Little Black Gallery is proud to present Patrick Lichfield's Caribbean from 29 October – 7 December 2013. This is the first exhibition of Lichfield's Caribbean images, many unpublished, representing all genres of Lichfield's photography: landscape, portraiture, fashion and nudes. It follows the internationally acclaimed exhibition Patrick Lichfield: Nudes at The Little Black Gallery in 2012.
Patrick Lichfield (1939 – 2005) was an internationally renowned photographer who worked for all the major magazines. Starting his career after leaving the army as a photographer's assistance earning GB£3.00. The son of Viscount Anson and Princess Anne of Denmark – the 5th Earl of Lichfield, and cousin to the Queen, Lichfield began to make a name for himself by snapping his celebrity and high society friends, even Mick and Bianca Jagger on their wedding day.
His major career break came when he was summoned by Diana Vreeland, the doyenne of fashion editors, to photograph the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, while they were in exile, which led to being awarded a five year contract with American Vogue. In 1981 he was appointed official photographer at the wedding of his cousin The Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer. One of his most iconic images was the the naked shot of African-American singer and novelist Marsha Hunt, replete in her beautifully coiffured afro for her part as "Dionne" in the rock musical 'Hair' Patrick Lichfield's pictures were exhibited around the world, and he published several books during his glittering career. The National Portrait Gallery dedicated a retrospective exhibition to the first twenty years of his work in 2002.
Patrick Lichfield's Caribbean retrospective at The Little Black Gallery is poigniant then, as just like the late Princess Margaret, he established a home in the stunning Caribbean location of St. Vincent and the Grenadines on the island of Mustique, a long established escape of the rich and famous – Lichfield first visited Mustique in the mid-1960s. He spent a considerable amount of time visiting the Caribbean islands and this archpelego provided the backdrop for many commissions – Cuba was the unprecedented location for the 1994 Unipart Calendar.
In a 2005 article by The Guardian newspaper, said of Patrick Lichfield he is 'no technophobe, enthusiastically espousing digital photography. His technical proficiency and industriousness, if not innovation or originality, earned him recognition in the trade. He was made a fellow of the British Institute of Professional Photographers and a member of the Royal Photographic Society.'
Patrick Lichfield's Caribbean is on show at The Little Black Gallery until 7th December, and these must have limited edition prints are certainly worth serious consideration for any collection.

text: Hi Black Hat World'ers I'm looking for partners to help promote my eBook and software package, ideally with a mailing list/website/blog related to horse racing/betting but I'm happy to work with any internet marketer. My product is about producing long term and realistic profits from horse racing. I'm willing to do excusive customer discounts or some sort of 'win a free copy by entering you email address' offer for the right people. The product consists of – The 13 chapter eBook (that actually is 13 chapters - no fluff used to fill it out) which contains information and practical methods to estimate the pace of the race, the class of the runners, the effects of factors such as going, distance, course, trainer and jockey, how to estimate the amount of value in a bet, sensible staking plans, 3 systems that have produced consistent profits for over 5 years, how to think like a professional gambler and more The 2 pieces of speed rating software, the first to give each race a rating (the software calculates the affects of going and weather on the race whilst automatically removing any falsely run races) that allows it to be compared to any other race regardless of distance and going. The second application takes the rating produced by the first piece of software and adjusts it for each runner by factoring in the distance beaten and the difference in weight. Not only are these ratings effective and versatile but it also means that the user only has to store one rating for each race as opposed to a rating for each runner, this cuts the time required to maintain a speed rating database considerably. A piece of form rating software that is designed to see which runners are capable of handling the conditions of each race and give each horse a rating between 0-100. This can be used with any system, tipster or method of betting as a simple way of checking how solid a potential bet is The Bonuses are a guide to the new racing post website and a set of bet tracking spreadsheets that allow users to focus only on the most profitable areas of their betting whilst seeing which areas need improvement www.pro-punter-package.co.uk Each sale pays $32/£20 and the program is based on PayDotCom I'm offering a free product called the Pro Punter Place Investor that is designed to increase a betting bank by around 5% every month, it includes a short guide to finding the selections and a piece of software to calculate the stakes required, both the guide and the software have an affiliate link embedded in them so if someone who uses the free system buys a copy of the Pro Punter Package whoever distributed the eBook gets the commission. The book contains a video advert for the Pro Punter Package and a small piece of copy. The Pro Punter Place Investor has a system that captures the prospective customers name and (valid)email address to gain access to the software application, these would again be shared with the distributor so not only would you be making commission but also building your list at the same time. There is also a selection of images in different sizes and a moving .gif banner in the affiliate section Thanks for taking the time to read my thread

Sagas of Aether
Published by Shadow Dragon in the blog Shadow Dragon's blog. Views: 77
That is going to be the name of my fantasy series. Aether is the name of a world that I have created, its pronounced A-ther. Basically I'll write a story for major events that happens throughout the timeline for Aether. The first saga is going to be called The Ares Saga. It will probably be about four to five novels long. I will write a blog about the mc of The Ares Saga, Ares Pyrrhus, right after I get done writing this blog.
Ok so for the basic history of the universe is, there was a time when there was nothing but molecules floating through space. No life, no stars, no worlds. Then one day a cloud of these molecules became sentient. This cloud realized that it had to power to create and destroy at will.
It named itself Raze, and so the first god was born. She is omnipotent. The only limit to her power is that she doesn't know the future. However, she does know all of the possible futures and knows how likely each outcome is. She became bored in the empty vacuum, so she decided to fill it up.
First she created the six elemental dragons. Eros-the dragon of light, Shade-the dragon of darkness, Pyro-the dragon of fire, Amnis-the dragon of water, Anima-the dragon of air and finally Draco-the dragon of stone.
Each dragon gave birth to billions of offspring. The offspring are mindless servants of their parent. The parent sees and hears everything that their offspring does. So basically each dragon family has a hive mind. These offsping spread throughout space, creating matter. They created all of the stars, and worlds.
Even though the universe was filling up with matter, Raze was still bored. So she decided to create creatures to live on the different worlds for her entertainment. She even gave some of these creatures intelligence. One of the worlds to get life was Aether. To aid her new children she gave each of them there own pantheon of gods.
These gods are known as major gods. They know everything that the species they watch over knows. They also have the power to destroy at will, but they can't create at will, like Raze. Sometimes one of the major gods, or Raze will mate with a mortal, thus creating a demi-god. When a demi-god dies, Raze judges whether they should go to the mortal afterlife, or should they become a minor god. Minor gods are as strong as major gods but they don't know everything that the species they protect knows, and they usually become servants of one of the major gods. However, if one of the major gods falls out of favor with Raze, she'll turn him into a minor god and promote one of the minor gods.
The race of intelligent beings on Aether were called aers. Though one day the god of chaos (I haven't decided on a name for him yet) thought it was boring to have one race. He changed all of them into one of four races. Humans, high elves, night elves, and Iceras. After many generations these races forgot that they were once all one race.
Aether has five continents- Xen (a pretty mountainous continent, with a wide range of climates, humans are the main race on this continent), Xeria (pretty temperat climate and is covered in plains and forests, humans and high elves in about equal numbers), Auderia (mostly frozen tundra, only the Iceras live here), Feria (primarily desert, with small grassland areas around oasises, mostly humans and night elves) and finally Agito (it was torn apart by a large earth quake and is now a bunch of islands, only humans live here).
What do you guys think of my world so far?

Pursuing Early Financial Independence through Dividend Growth Investing and other Passive Income.
Friday, July 25, 2014
Recent Buys
This morning I first purchased 8 shares of Visa (V) for $212.31 per share. After commission my per share cost basis came to $213.30. Based on the current annual dividend of $1.60 these shares will carry a YOC of 0.75% and provide $12.80 in annual dividends. I first bought shares of Visa back in August 2013. Unfortunately for the new purchase, shares of Visa have had some great appreciation leading to a 9.8% increase in the cost basis for my total position in Visa to $193.76. I'm not worried though because this is an excellent company with a long growth runway.
While this purchase strays from my normal purchase when it comes to dividend yield, the dividend growth is outstanding. I typically try to buy companies that yield in the "sweet spot" of 2.5-4% yield with 6-10% annual growth but I think every portfolio can have some low yield/high growth and high yield/low growth companies sprinkled in.
I also finally added again to my position in General Electric (GE). I'd been missing out by small margin over the last week and finally upped my limit price a bit. I purchased 60 shares of GE for $25.86 per share. After commission my per share cost basis came to $25.99. Based on the current annual dividend of $0.88 per share these shares will carry a YOC of 3.39% and provide $52.80 in annual dividends. I last added to my GE position in March of this year after initiating the position almost exactly a year ago. Man time flies because it really didn't seem like it was that long ago. This increased the cost basis for my position by 1.15% to $25.45.
After some dividend increases and these new purchases my forward 12-month dividends increased to $4,581.74. I'm now 91.63% of the way towards my goal of $5,000 in forward dividends by the end of the year and should easily be able to pass that with additional purchases the rest of this year.
I've updated my Portfolio page to reflect these additions.
What companies have you been purchasing or are on your watch list? Still buying despite the markets' incessant climb higher?
18 comments:
congrats on almost researching your goal PIP. I have been eyeing Visa, but can't seem to pull the trigger just yet. I'd like to pick it up below 200. Thinking about Deere instead.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm getting there but a little slower than I'd like because there were other potential uses for my savings and of course Mr. Market hasn't helped too much this year. If V dips back below $200 I'll add some more to my own portfolio. DE was also on the watchlist but I decided to see if it goes lower. It's over 2% of my portfolio right now and is one of my few industrial sector stocks so I'd like to either build up some other positions or get a great price on DE.
Thanks for stopping by!
Great purchases PIP. I am looking at initiation a position in V as well especially after the drop today. GE is also great and it is already the largest in my portfolio. The highest I have purchased GE is at $25.00. So if it drops below that, I might consider adding more :)ReplyDeleteReplies
If GE dips below $25 again then I'll add some more as well. There's more room for GE in my portfolio the way it's currently constructed and there's not a lot of other industrial companies giving good values right now. I was surprised to see V's drop today but was glad to get a chance to add some more.
Thanks for stopping by!
Congrats on the great purchases, PIP. I am tempted to buy more GE after initiating a position last month.ReplyDelete
I like GE here as it represents a decent value in an relatively expensive market. I think we all got spoiled in 2011/2.
Thanks for stopping by!
Good job with these adds. I was shocked V sold off like it did today and almost jumped on it myself. Great timing too and not waiting for it to bounce back up a few dollars at the end of the market day. I was debating between PM and GE today and ultimately chose nothing. I'll buy something next week. Would love to add more DE, but that would make it my biggest holding in my small portfolio and leave little room for averaging down on further price declines. Lot's to consider. Keep adding to those forward dividends, you're on an epic pace!ReplyDelete
Take care!
The V selloff was a bit surprising but very much welcomed. I just picked a relatively low price and set a limit order before the open. Overall I thought it was a pretty good quarter. I'm holding off on DE myself because another purchase of DE would make it my largest industrial sector holding. I hope to be able to get some more capital allocated over the next few months because there's a much larger cash hoard than I'd like right now. I know it's a good problem to have.
Thanks for stopping by!
Nice buys JC. I had a limit order in for 25 shares of Visa (at $112) this morning, but just couldn't pull the trigger. I was excited about the pullback, especially since the stock held it's 200 day. I don't know why, but I just didn't feel right about it. Good work buddy on following it throughReplyDelete
I know it's a bit expensive but I really like the company and the valuation isn't that bad considering what some of the blue chips are trading for. It's a calculated risk but I think it should turn out well. Hopefully you find a reason to join the Visa owner club. I know I've got enough of their cards in my wallet.
Thanks for stopping by!
Visa was a great buy for today. Silly that the stock is down but great for investors getting in at a discount.ReplyDeleteReplies
It seems like the selloff was related to the slightly lowered guidance but that's fine by me. This company is set up to perform well long term so I'll just add to my position.
Thanks for stopping by!
Nice buys. V had a great quarter and the stock is down on slightly lower guidance. Good for us long-term investors! V remains high on my watch list for a purchase in August, which would allow me to quickly add to my position.
And I also like GE here. I think GE, DE, and V are all pretty high on my watch list right now. Good stuff!!
Best wishes.Replies
V is still up there on my list but I'm probably waiting until sub-$200 before I'll add again. Hopefully you'll get a chance to add to this great company. The sell off seemed rather unwarranted but that works for me.
I've been looking at DE as well but will probably wait for a slightly lower price. I don't have enough industrial exposure and adding to DE again would put me overweight for where I'd like the position to be currently. So I have time to wait for a bit better entry price.
Thanks for stopping by!
It's nice to see you making purchases again.
I agree with your view on V. I also own Visa and periodically buy small chunks. The price has retreated a little and I'm probably due to add a little more funds to the stock. They have a really low yield but I expect really high growth from them. I don't mind a few companies like this in my portfolio to balance it out.
I don't own GE but they are on my watchlist. It's tough to own them all.
Take careReplies
Yeah, time flies when you're on vacation for a bit and doing a bunch of stuff around the house.
It sure is hard to not own them all but of course if that's the case I'd just stick with an index or make a few motifs.
Thanks for stopping by!
We recently picked up shares in GE...have had our eye on it for awhile and couldn't resist picking up shares after the recent dip. Hope to continue picking up shares if prices stays the same or drops. As for Visa, we have our eye on it but would prefer to buy on a dip. Nevertheless, we like the future prospects that Visa offers in their growth (both price and dividends). AFFJReplyDeleteReplies
I'm looking to add some more GE under $25 although I might wait a bit longer to try and build up some other positions if Mr. Market keeps acting like he did today. What sold me on buying V is that you can buy them for just a bit higher P/E compared to the slower growing PG or KO but get much faster growth. The yield is low but you got to love that growth rate and the potential for long term growth of greater than 10% for the company and the dividend.
Thanks for stopping by!

By placing a varying win bet on each of the three horses, the dollar amounts being dictated by the odds, you will realize a profit no matter which of the three wins. This tell us what the market or pool says the real-time percentage chance each horse has of winning the race. However; even when we win while dutching, we will always have some losing tickets with this method.
Pisces Pleasure3-125$25.00$100.00
With a total outlay of fifty-five dollars, we would expect a profit of forty-five dollars whether Pisces Pleasure, Nostalgic Moment, or Trubble won. In addition, the profit will be approximately the same for each outcome, and you can predetermine it.
Just print the following chart:
So, how do we know how much to wager on each horse in order to guarantee a profit? First, we need to convert the horses' current odds into a percentage.
As with the stock market, there is a certain degree of volatility in the betting pool. BETPAYOFF
In handicapping, dutching allows a bettor to wager on two or more runners, at different odds, in the same race. It is not at all uncommon to see sizable fluctuations in the odds, especially at smaller tracks. For this example, I assigned a unit value of one dollar to each percentage point. Since dutching allows us to bet on three or four runners, obviously we have a better chance of cashing Xtra Winners. Adequate diversification will include an increased number of investments, allowing those with upward price movements to offset those with downward price movements.
Here is how it works: Assume that through applying a long-shot angle, you have eliminated the non-contenders and are left with three horses. You are confident that one of the three will be victorious but have no particular bias toward any of them. To negate these fluctuations, one should endeavor to wait until the last possible second to place his or her wagers.
. Dutching is the professional handicapper's equivalent to portfolio diversification. It is covered in detail in my book, Handicapping the Wall Street Way: Picking Xtra Winners at the Track.
Nostalgic Moment4-120$20.00$100.00
ODDSODDSAMT. The math for this is simple, but, in the interest of brevity, I am going to omit it here. Although the value assigned is entirely at each individual handicapper's discretion, it MUST be the same for each horse. The bets are made in proportion to each horse's chances of winning, so that no matter which runner prevails, the payoff will be the same. One of the greatest mistakes an investor can make is not properly diversifying his or her portfolio

A Monster: Albert Fish
Serial killer Hamilton Albert Fish was known as the Vampire of Brooklyn, the Werewolf of Wysteria, and the Gray Man. This evil creature was born May 19, 1870 in Washington, D.C. to a father of 75 and a mother of 32.
Robert Slatzer and Marilyns Ghost
After about half an hour, the night became completely silent. Nothing moved in the air, not even a blade of grass stirred. Suddenly, a terrific wind came up. Slatzer said it was hurricane-like for several minutes, but not on the sides of the road. It was completely still all around them.
Loogaroo Vampires of the West Indies
In the Caribbean islands, there are said to be vampires who were once old humans, usually women called hags or witches, who made deals with the devil. According to natives, they are called Loogaroo.
Magic of Christmas
Few would argue with the idea that the most prevalent sensation of the paranormal might be during the Christmas season. There is such a feeling of anticipation, expectancy, and happiness in the air. It isn't the typical mood one perceives in others.
Morgan Fairchild and a Ghost
As a young woman, Morgan Fairchild married a man in the music industry. For two years, she and her husband lived with her mother-in-law and the ghost of her mother-in-laws father who tormented Morgan the entire time.
International Cryptozoology Museum, Portland
Founder and operator of the museum, Loren Coleman, has written quite a few books on the subject of cryptozoology. His work was invaluable to me as I wrote my first book, The Weiser Field Guide to Cryptozoology which will be out sometime in late February.
Bottle Popping Poltergeist in Long Island
If you were watching or listening to the news in early February 1958, you might remember the story of a poltergeist called Popper invading a home in the Long Island suburb of Seaford, New York. This was the first time a haunting was shown on television, and Popper didnt fail to entertain!
Willington Mill
There is too much supporting evidence to have any doubt that the Willington house and Mill in North Tynesdale of England is haunted, and has been since at least 1834.
Mongolian Death Worm
Although not nearly as large as the worm in the movie Tremors, a rooftop would still be as good a place as any to be if you come across the acid-spitting, electricity-throwing Mongolian Death Worm. Of course, a rooftop might be rather difficult to find in the Gobi Desert.
Review of Paranormal Activity
I had been waiting for this movie since first seeing it advertised. Many people on Facebook commented on how frightened they were after seeing the film. My daughter works with a couple who had to sleep with their lights on all night afterwards.

Voiceover Translation
Your choice of voice!
Multilingual voiceover is an audiovisual production technique whereby the offscreen narrator's voice will be replaced with a voiceover translation into a chosen target language. Used for company videos, documentaries, advertisements and many more types of audiovisual content, multilingual voiceover services is a booming industry as businesses seek to expand overseas.
Whether you need a multilingual voiceover of your corporate videos, television adverts or company training materials, Lingua Translations are on hand to provide high-quality multilingual voiceover translation services using qualified, experienced and professional voice artists who can meet all of your project requirements. The choice of voice talent can be very personal, and however large or small your project may be, Lingua Translations are on hand to handpick expert linguists with extensive experience in voiceover production and a comprehensive knowledge of your specific sector.
Our voiceover artists often work in high-spec, private studios, enabling us to keep costs down and offer you a competitive rate. We can provide both native speakers as well as non-native speakers where particular accents are required.
Contact us today to talk over your multilingual voiceover requirements with one of our experienced Project Managers who will be happy to provide you with more information and help you carry out your project, no matter how technical it may be.
- What does multilingual voiceover entail?
Carrying out a successful and professional multilingual voiceover is no mean feat. It involves:
Transcribing the original audio – it is essential to have a full and accurate transcription of the original audio to work with so that it can be accurately translated.
- Translating the content of your video
It is very important that you entrust your translation to a professional agency like Lingua Translations. The linguists we provide will bear in mind that the translation is destined for voiceover production purposes. This means that they will accurately translate the content of your video, but not too literally and as concisely as possible so that the voiceover will fit within the allotted timeframe.
- Sourcing a voice talent
There are multiple decisions to be made when choosing your multilingual voice artist – do they need to be male or female? Should they be a native or have a particular accent? Do they need to come from a particular region? Do they need to 'sound' a certain age?
We can give you a selection to choose from if you wish.
- Recording your multilingual voiceover
This can be a difficult process because some languages are wordier than others, which has implications for the speed of your voiceover. It takes seasoned professionals to record a voiceover that is smoothly voiced, at the correct speed and that will have the same impact on your target audience as the original video.

|There's no magical solution China has found that India needs to emulate.
|For every complex problem there's a solution that is simple, neat and wrong monetary and exchange management in China?
|We would argue that China has not found a magical solution to keeping inflation down, limiting interest rate increases, holding off faster currency appreciation and accumulating reserves, all at the same time. Its economy is paying a price in the form of widening economic imbalances, which increase the odds of an eventual painful adjustment. The lesson for India is that allowing the rupee to appreciate helps to cool an overextended economy without driving interest rates so high as to kill off much-needed investment. Resisting nominal exchange rate appreciation because of concerns over export competitiveness is counterproductive""the resulting higher liquidity and inflation will inevitably erode competitiveness by making domestic goods more expensive. A much more sustainable strategy would be to achieve cost efficiencies through urgent infrastructure upgrades and education and labour market reforms.
|In the last five years, China's economy has grown by an average of 10 per cent and India's by around 8 per cent. Non-food, non-energy inflation in China is around 1 per cent, while India's inflation has jumped to well above 6 per cent. At the same time, the People's Bank of China (PBC) has limited renminbi appreciation to less than 7 per cent against the dollar since July 2005 and has raised interest rates by less than 100 basis points. On the other hand, the rupee has appreciated by around 14 per cent over the same period and interest rates have risen by over 200 basis points.
|Why the difference? The short answer is that India's economy is supply constrained""rapid growth in consumption (and more recently investment) demand is pushing up prices because the economy is hitting capacity constraints caused by insufficient past investment. Meanwhile, China's economy is demand constrained: a torrid pace of investment in the past has created excess capacity that domestic consumption cannot absorb. The PBC needs to tighten monetary policy to curb investment growth to prevent this excess capacity from causing future price declines and eventual loan defaults. The RBI needs to tighten monetary policy to keep current inflation from getting out of hand, while ensuring that the investment that is badly needed to ease capacity constraints can be sustained.
|The long answer requires an updated understanding of the situation in China today. Despite strong growth and low inflation, in March 2007, before the annual session of the National People's Congress, Premier Wen Jiabao cautioned, "China's economy is unstable, unbalanced, uncoordinated and unsustainable." Over the last few years, growth has been led by investment and exports. Investment rose from 38 per cent of GDP in 2002 to 43 per cent of GDP in 2006, while the current account surplus jumped from 2.5 per cent of GDP to nearly 9.5 per cent of GDP or $250 billion. In contrast, private consumption fell from 47 per cent of GDP to 36 per cent of GDP, almost entirely because of a similar decline in the share of household income. With consumption unable to keep pace with the increase in capacity created by the rise in investment, the excess has been sold abroad, raising the trade surplus.
|Encouraging investment growth are a plethora of tax incentives; low costs of land, energy, water and""most important""capital; and the undervalued exchange rate. The low cost of capital, averaging around 2 per cent in real terms in the last five years, has skewed production toward capital-intensive techniques, and has dried up job creation; the 10 per cent growth in the past few years has created only 2 per cent employment growth.
|The undervalued exchange rate has also encouraged import substitution. The caricature of China as an assembly line, processing imported inputs into cheap consumer goods, is fading into the recesses of history. Assembly-line exports make up less than 10 per cent of China's trade surplus. Instead, China's exports are predominantly capital-intensive goods with rising domestic content. As a result, the economy has become more dependent on exports and more vulnerable to fluctuations in external demand.
|These imbalances raise concerns that China's rapid growth may not be sustainable. Continued expansion of capacity could eventually lead to price declines that would cut into profits, increase loan defaults and undermine investor confidence. The price declines could be worse if, at the same time, the global economy slows and protection by and/or competition from other countries makes it more difficult for China's firms to sell their products abroad.
|Recognising this, China's government has embarked on an ambitious reform agenda to rebalance growth away from investment and exports and towards consumption. But the PBC's efforts to tighten monetary policy have been hampered by the management of the exchange rate. Specifically, more aggressive increases in interest rate are impossible, as they would encourage capital inflows adding to the already high liquidity in the banking system. Instead, the PBC has had to rely on administrative controls on credit to curb investment and credit growth. The resulting financial repression has directly conflicted with the need to develop the financial system and created further economic distortions. A sustainable solution to the problems that China faces requires more effective use of monetary policy, not more administrative measures. And the obvious way to do this is to let the renminbi appreciate more quickly.
|To summarise then, the lesson for China is that relative prices""including the exchange rate""need to reflect underlying economic forces so that households and firms can make the right decisions. Distortions only serve to encourage decisions that sooner or later have to be readjusted, and often that readjustment is painful. And the lesson for India is that exchange rate flexibility combined with efforts to improve efficiency through urgent infrastructure upgrades, and education and labour market reforms will yield the most enduring gains in competitiveness.

S4 is not compatible with MirrorLink, and even if you can find a phone that is "supposed" to be compatible, the Android version it's been updated to might not.
MirrorLink is a buggy mess and it doesn't work.

text: I have had my Nexus One for about a month now. Before the N1, I have owned iphones, ipod's, the G1, and various other phones, including quite a few HTC phones like the Dash. Never before though, in all my drops of phones have a experiences a small drop and ding on a phone causing a major usability issue. What happened was that while using the phone, it slipped out of my hand and fell about 3 feet onto a tile floor. My main concern obviously was a cracked screen, but aside from a small dent in the metal case right near the on/off button, it appeared to be fine. That was, until I attempted to open the battery door. When the metal from the case deformed slightly on the impact, it wrapped over top of the battery door a bit, and now made it impossible to for to open the battery door, no matter how much force I applied. I could not believe that such a minor drop caused such a major problem. I have dropped nearly every phone I have ever owned repeatedly, including the G1 many times, and the iphone, which has the dented case to prove it, but never has this resulted in a major usability problem with the phone. It amazed me that seemingly HTC/GOOGLE never found or thought of this issue during the design and testing process. People do drop phones, it happens, and you don't expect any drop to be something that requires the manufacturer if you don't want to further damage the phone. It is like a shopping cart hitting your car door, and needing the jaws of life to get you out. Basically my phone had just become an iphone, but without the swappable SIM. I called HTC and explained the issue, and said that I felt this was a pretty big design oversight. I feel that if the phone is this susceptible to major issues from small dings, that they should probably include a rubber case, instead of that stupid sleeve no one uses. After talking for a while, the HTC rep said I could send it in, and they would make sure my SIM and Memory card got back to me, but that I would be charged for a repair. Honestly, I had hoped to get a bit of a break since I was an early adopter, with a strange, and what I feel design oversight issue. I personally couldn't care less about dings and scratches on my phones, I like to use phones the way they were designed, but never have I had it cause a problem I could not rectify without a very small metal file. So to those considering a Nexus One, I just want to make you aware of this issue. The metal on the bezel is really soft and will easily bend/dent, which seems to have the ability to cause some major problems. Even the metal on the phone 2G was not like this, I dropped it many times and only had a small dent from one drop that affected usability in no way. Maybe this is why apple is so anti replaceable battery. I have also dropped phones like the Dash, Treo's, iphone, and G1, and never had a problem. It is a great phone for the most part, but sometimes the design seems a little half baked.

2005 Birthyear Iowa ODP Tryouts
Jun 28 - Sep 14
Ages 10-10
Meeting Dates
From Jun 29, 2016 to Sep 15, 2016
About This Activity
Iowa ODP District Teams
This refers to the youngest age group within our ODP program (i.e., 2005) and is designed as an introduction to the programs Elite Youth Performance Pathway. The district teams are organized regionally within the state (i.e., east and west) to minimize travel and maximize development.
2016–2017 Eligible Age Groups: 2005 birth years ONLY
The 2005 age group is the entry level age group for Iowa ODP Select Program. Any player within the 2005 birth year is eligible to attend tryouts. From the tryouts a pool of approximately 30 players for each age group and gender will be identified for further training and potential selection to a regional camp in July. The District Program offers an ideal opportunity for players to sample the program through District training centers.
Players of all competitive levels are encouraged to attend district tryouts ODP. Participation in the District Select Program is not an essential prerequisite to future participation in the US Youth Soccer ODP, however, the earlier a player's skills and potential are identified the more help it can be to the evaluations of district, state, regional and national coaches.

This means that they will sometimes be difficult to read and certain specialized terms, that the transcriptionist wasn't familiar with, will be rendered somewhat phonetically. It will also be obvious that sometimes the questioner was not properly mic'd. Nevertheless, raw or not, I believe they may make a contribution to further understanding of some of the ideas that interest me and I'm happy to make them available for on-line reading.

As Canada's economy begins to slow, the country's growing household debt burden is raising new concerns as it outpaces that of most developed countries.
In fact, Canada had the second-biggest jump in household debt-to-income ratios of any country other than Greece between 2007 and the second quarter of 2014, a new study says.
Canada and Australia along with a number of countries in northern Europe "now have larger household debt burdens than existed in the U.S. or the U.K. at the peak of the credit bubble," according to a new analysis.
The McKinsey Global Institute looked at 47 countries and identified seven with "potential vulnerabilities" in household debt that could lead to financial instability and a consumer spending slowdown: the Netherlands, South Korea, Sweden, Australia, Malaysia, Thailand – and Canada.
The study, to be released Thursday, comes amid mounting evidence of a sputtering economy. The country's GDP shrank in November, and last year's job growth has been revised lower while oil prices have slumped, restraining business development.
The report was based on data to the second quarter of last year.

Bengaluru, Oct 21: Former India opener Virender Sehwag considers himself lucky and has thanked Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, VVS Laxman for helping him to be fearless in his batting in Test cricket.
Full text of Sehwag's retirement statement
Sehwag announced his retirement from international cricket and Indian Premier League on his 37th birthday day yesterday (October 20). However, he will continue to play Ranji Trophy for Haryana.
The Delhi right-hander, who was known for his audacious stroke-play right through his 14-year career at the international level, said that he would not have been the same player if he was playing in the current Indian team.
"My job (in Test cricket) was to score runs, opener's role was to give the team a good start. Once it was done, I used to try to play my attacking game, score runs quickly and ensure that my team had a big total," Sehwag told "ANI" news agency after his retirement.
"And it was my duty to help the bowlers have more time to get the opposition out. That is what I have always tried to do," he added.
The "Nawab of Najafgarh" spoke on the influence of the greats Dravid, Tendulkar, Ganguly and Laxman.
"And the biggest benefit as an opening batsman was that there was big and great players Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman to bat after me. Even if there was pressure situation, they could have handled well.
"But If I was playing now, I would not have been able to bat with so much freedom. The Indian team doesn't have such great players who can handle the middle order. I consider myself lucky to have played as an opener with such great players in the middle order.
"That is one of the reasons that my batting style became fearless. I knew that the great players in the middle order were capable to handle pressure and help the team score runs," he said.
Sehwag retired from international cricket with over 17,000 runs. With his exit, the golden generation (Sehwag, Dravid, Tendulkar, Ganguly and Laxman) of Indian batting has ended.

The review looks at how well the criminal justice provisions in the Modern Slavery Act 2015 have been implemented and identifies gaps in the legislation, recommending ways to address issues identified.
Overall the review finds that:
the Modern Slavery Act has set an international benchmark to which other jurisdictions aspire
law enforcement agencies are using the powers in the act to increase the number of prosecutions and to support more victims of modern slavery
there is more to do to deliver greater consistency in how law enforcement and criminal justice agencies deal with the victims and perpetrators of modern slavery
better training, better intelligence and a more structured approach to identifying, investigating, prosecuting and preventing slavery is required
The government is considering the recommendations of the report.

VoIP service is gaining traction among mainstream consumers, and that momentum is only expected to increase.
VoIP providers want two things - to provide their subscribers with communication service that leaves customers satisfied and to increase their bottom lines.
VoIP service providers need the right equipment to prove that IP telephony can offer stability and quality that is comparable to, or better than, landline connections.
When developments such as mobile technology and VoIP services were paired together, they created a perfect storm for the telework movement.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has been eyeing the VoIP industry in recent years, demonstrating interest in expanding the reach of its authority to the IP telephony market over which it currently does not have regulatory grounds.
Location-based services, which were first introduced by some VoIP service providers as a way to comply with E911 regulations in the United States, have taken off and proven to be an effective way for operators to monetize their networks.
2 ways for service providers to make more money with their VoIP networks
VoIP calls are becoming the predominant form of communication in many homes and businesses, leaving telecoms to try and develop strategies to improve their VoIP capabilities to support consumer demand.
