So, why do antibiotics often cause diarrhea in babies, and how do you recognize diarrhea. Majority of case reports are from Massachusetts, Maryland, Wisconsin, Minnesota, California, and Oregon. The length that such symptoms last varies for various people, sometimes it can last two or three weeks, however in some cases the period can be one month or longer. In these cases the cloudiness is often due to white blood cells (leukocytes) within the urine, that are a response on the infection. Naturally, it might be foolish to suggest a strategy for baby diarrhea induced by antibiotics were it not safe, however there are some precautions in terms of babies and yogurt:.
com sells 20 200 milligram tables of Vantin for $185. Yogurts which are labeled with "live cultures" would be the ones that contain viable probiotics, but according to independent clinical trials conducted at Addenbrookes Hospital inside the UK, you are going to need billions more live cultures to re-establish into your market of gut bacteria. This fluid could possibly be drained with the introduction of an needle and tube through the skin, referred to as percutaneous drainage, or by surgical drainage. Some Avelox side-effects resemble the main sinusitis or bronchitis symptoms. Most commonly found for the face, erysipelas can be painful but additionally cosmetically deformative. The disease causes inflammation, appears as being a rash that can lead to neurologic (nerves), heart or joint aches, weeks to months later.
Additionally, Avelox can penetrate tissues and cells beyond the reach of other antibiotics. What you probably already know is that the longest part in the brewing process is the fermentation along with the aging with the beer. Common allergies to dust and pollen enlarge the sinuses and cause them to swell. I have never had an antibiotic compromised via drinking cranberry juice. It truly is characterized by way of a burning feeling within the wind pipe.
On the day in the brew, you ought to spend a few hours cleaning and sanitizing your brewing equipment, brewing the wort, cooling the brew, pitch the yeast, seal the entire thing up and clean up your mess. Try utilizing a cold pack over the eye area at the very least once a day for no greater than 10 minutes. Andrew Wakefield, a British doctor made claims linking the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to autism and as a result of all of the criticism and shun from the scientific community that he received, some scientists say they may be more not wanting to credit reports of potential negative effects from vaccines. When the stone passes, the urine should clean up pretty quickly, although the insufficient pain will likely be the more noticeable. If you create a big enough batch that can last you a couple weeks or more, you'll likely notice the way you enjoy the beer more because you drink more than it. For example, some drugs perform best when taken with food, while others must be taken by using an empty stomach.
However, this association has not been proven and is not really the standard of care. As antibiotics and also other medications are prescribed after considering several factors, it is important you never take medication prescribed on the table, even in case you have read it can be good for your particular problem. The major reason most in the antibiotic prescriptions will not likely do anything for infections caused by viruses. The moment there is certainly a lull within the dosage, the dormant bacteria launch their counter attack. I referred to as the clinic and told your physician who had written my penicillin prescription that I wasn't recovering. The liquid formula may be taken with or without food.

10 greatest wildlife discoveries of all time
It's time to celebrate the role science plays in what is known about wildlife, so we have chosen what we think are the 10 greatest wildlife discoveries ever made.
Science underpins most of what we cover in BBC Wildlife. How do we know why, when and where animals migrate? Or how bats orientate in the dark? Or when species are teetering on the brink of extinction? It's all down to science.
The simple fact that we know the chiffchaff, willow and wood warbler are three separate species is because someone – Gilbert White – bothered to study the birds and record his observations. While not a 'scientist' in the modern sense of the word, White was preparing the ground for scientists to come.
So we decided to celebrate the role science plays in what is known about wildlife, and have chosen what we think are the 10 greatest zoological discoveries ever made.
- Mark Carwardine
A zoologist and tv presenter, Mark has travelled the globe to work on conservation projects. He even finds time to write a column for BBC Wildlife.
- Glyn Davies
Glyn Davies worked at the European Commission and ZSL, before joining WWF-UK as director of programmes. Tackling climate change is at the top of his in-tray.
- Matt Walker
Matt is a former news editor of New Scientist magazine and is now the editor of BBC Earth News, a website that provides daily updates about wildlife and the environment.
- Richard Jones
A regular contributor to BBC Wildlife, Richard writes about bugs and all kinds of other downtrodden lowlife. He is a former president of the British Entomological Society.
- James Fair
Environment editor James dreamed up this feature: "I wanted to celebrate all of the forgotten scientists whose work has helped to unmask the natural world."
- Honeybee waggle dance
Its purpose was unravelled by the Nobel Prize-winning ethologist Karl von Frisch.
- Bat sonar
Discovered in an exhaustive series of experiments by Donald Griffin.
- Chimps eat meat
Jane Goodall again.
Large blue butterfly
Jeremy Thomas discovered that the breeding cycle of large blues depends on a species of ant.
The theory that most multicellular life evolved as a result of single-celled organisms absorbing bacteria.
- Gladiator insects
In 2002, Oliver Zompro discovered an entire new suborder of insect, the Mantophasmatodea – a find that is almost akin to discovering the existence of moths and butterflies.
- The coelacanth
Until 1938, this fish had only been known from 65-million-year-old fossils, so when a live one was caught off the coast of South Africa that year, it was hailed as the "zoological find of the century".

Boy howdy, Bauer sure got knocked around. Even before that, though, if I'm the D'Backs there's zero chance he pitches in the majors this year.
Thanks, as always, KG. Curious about the suggested 2012 debut for Tim Beckham. Given Desmond Jennings just logged almost 1000 PA at Durham, with more polish than Beckham has displayed, I see Beckham as more of a 2013 mid-season callup. Do you think he'll be ready sooner?
My guess is they want Hak-Ju Lee to play at AAA and they really have nothing else at SS. (But I think you're right - they just kept Jennings in AAA...)
Why did they leave Gorski in Hi-A all year? seems like he should have gotten a promotion with the way he's pitched.
was just about to ask the same. it's not like he is young at all.
Kevin, have you heard or seen any scouting reports on Sale? I want to be encouraged by the fact that his strikeout/walk data isn't too bad, but then why isn't he hitting with more authority?
A lot of groundballs to the right side and infield popups. http://www.draysbay.com/2011/8/5/2345371/breaking-down-josh-sales-batted-ball-profile
Thanks! I'm surprised I missed that piece.
<---- Mets fan excited to see three Mets on here. Thanks Sandy!!
KG - who's the better Twins prospect, sano or rosario??
Sano is a about 20 months younger than Rosario and is still notionally an infielder. Couple that with the relative power projections -- Sano's being described as prodigious while Rosario's rates in the 50-60 range per KG in the comment section a few days ago -- and it's gotta be Sano by a healthy margin at this point.
It's Sano, no question, and I'm a big Rosario fan.

- Barrel Racing
- - Fox Tails?
Fox Tails? I've always wondered what the 'fox tail' type things are that some barrel racers put on their horse's cinch... I asked one of the girls that was using one what is was for and she said she has no clue :shock: :lol: |
I don't know about actual fox tails. But I do know about shoo flys under the belly. http://www.showtailsrus.com/sitebuil...flynatural.jpg They are used to keep flys away from legs so your horse isn't stoping all around when on a trail ride or working on a ranch or whatever. I have one on my cinch and it works wonders :-D |
Wonder if it's the same idea.. but why in barrel racing? |
Must be a 'look bling bling' thing that they seem to do haha. |
LOL.. there's gotta be a reason! |
Its to keep flys away its not just in barrel racing many others do it also. But barrel racers half the time probably just use it for looks. No offense to anyone im a barrel racer to and knowone here can deny some girls by things they dont need just to look cooler. |

BREACHING WHALE: Whales' surface behaviors consist of lunging, porpoising, spyhopping, lobtailing, and breaching, among others. When a whale breaches, at least 40 percent of its body comes out of the water, making it momentarily airborne. Right, Humpback, and Sperm whales breach the most. A 40 ton whale seen here crashed into a South African couple's yacht on July 18.

Dragon of the Moon (Earth-616)
this wiki
The sole survivor of an ancient race of demons, the Dragon of the Moon seeks to gain power by corrupting the human race. The Dragon once allied with Mordred who was trying to overthrow King Arthur of Britain, but it was defeated and imprisoned within Saturn's moon Titan by the Eternals. The Dragon later managed to corrupt Thanos, who murdered most of the population of Titan. The dragon was also responsible for the civil war amongst Uranos's followers that decimated Titan before Mentor and Sui-San repopulated it. It also began to corrupt Moondragon. With the aid of the Defenders, Moondragon was freed and the Dragon destroyed.
During Phyla-Vell's's quest to find the Kree savior, Moondragon began suffering from the same headaches that signaled the coming of the Dragon of the Moon, eventually in battle with the Phalanx and near death, she succumbed to the Dragon and was transformed again. She later died at Ultron's hands and dissolved into nothingness.
A year later, in the realm of Oblivion, the Dragon was holding Moondragon in its gullet. Phyla and Drax the Destroyer, sent by Mentor, attempted to rescue Moondragon, but Maelstrom intended to feed them to the Dragon. The former went first but the timely arrival of Quasar prevented Drax from being consumed as well. Just before the Dragon could consume them both, Phyla, having become the new Avatar of Death, destroyed the Dragon to free Moondragon. The Dragon then turned into a flock of bats.

Don't worry, be happy....
I have decided to not stress out over Spanish. I am going to end up failing anyway. I am going to consider just sticking it out as victory. I found out today that nobody is getting an A. That even the smart kids are not getting above a C. I didn't go today. I am glad I skipped out. I have been beating myself up over Spanish over far too long. I have stressed and cried for a D. I am going to relax. What's the worse that could happen? I get an F? I need to relax about a lot of things. I have been so hard on myself lately.
I am feeling better about a lot of things. I had another interview and I should know by tomorrow. I have 2 other phone interviews scheduled for next week. I found out that unemployment isn't running out just yet. I still have some time. It does seem like things are moving forward. I am so sick of being discouraged, so I am not going to be. At least for today :)
Found out that my sister is moving to FL instead of here. I am so sad, but at least I won't need a passport to go see her. I sometimes wonder if her hubs doesn't want to keep her isolated from family?? I feel bad for even thinking it. I really wanted her to come her. I think she really wanted to come too. Anywoo.......
Hope everyone is having a great day. I loved Roxie's post this morning. Made me smile. Eating better and walking. Had a long discussion with my daughter this morning. I am really glad I took the time. She can really TALK!! I hope it will be a conversation she wouldn't forget. I know I won't.
Keep the mood and the food real.............
update.....didn't get the job. Something else will come. I know it.
6 comments:
Yep I need to follow suit and don't worry be happy :) Yes, things will work out for you they always do :) As for Spanish well not sure I ever told you this story but sometimes actions just speak louder than words. When I was in Mexico and still couldn't speak a word after studying for months I just did a motion to describe what I needed. We were out of toilet paper so I went out to the maid and another man and just did the motion of wiping my rear end for them to let them know I needed some toilet paper and we all just laughed and laughed and laughed :) and I got my roll of TP lol.
Hugs my friendHappy to know that you are getting interview calls, but sad to know that sister is not residing with you, hope you can see her soon, well you don't need passport to see her.

Mitt Romney's campaign and an allied independent group have launched a heavy television ad blitz to shore up the former Massachusetts governor's position in his home state of Michigan and undercut his opponents in several states holding contests in coming weeks. Many of the ads target Rick Santorum, who has emerged as Romney's top conservative rival but who has far fewer resources to defend himself on television.
Romney's campaign is spending $1.2 million in ads in Michigan, where the primary is Feb. 28. Restore Our Future, a super political action committee staffed by former Romney advisers, has set its sights even wider.
The group is spending roughly $6 million on TV ads in Michigan and Arizona, another state with a Feb. 28 primary, as well as in the March 6 Super Tuesday states of Georgia, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Ohio, and in Mississippi and Alabama, which vote March 13.
Restore Our future is also spending about $180,000 on radio ads in those states, bringing the combined total to $2.6 million on ads.
The pro-Romney spending is in striking contrast to the rest of the Republican field, demonstrating anew the broad financial advantage Romney has over his rivals.
Santorum has managed only small cable buys in Michigan and a few other states despite his recent surge in polls. Neither Newt Gingrich nor Ron Paul is running television ads at all, and super PAC activity on their behalf is limited.
Strategists for the Red, White and Blue Fund, a pro-Santorum group, say they will begin running ads soon in Michigan but have yet to buy air time. And Winning Our Future, a super PAC supporting Gingrich, is running radio ads but hasn't been on television since the week before Florida's primary on Jan. 31. The group's major patron, Las Vegas casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, has not indicated whether he plans to contribute any more than the $11 million he and family members have already given the group.
The pro-Romney television spending is highly strategic, and shows the lengths to which he and supporters plan to go to help reinforce Romney's status as the field's putative front-runner.
Michigan has emerged as a critical battleground, pitting Romney _ a native whose father was the state's governor _ against Santorum, whose blue-collar roots and vow to revive the U.S. manufacturing base has struck a chord in the economically challenged auto manufacturing hub. That's why Romney's campaign and Restore Our Future are bringing their considerable resources to bear against what would potentially be a crippling loss there for Romney.
While the Romney campaign's ads in Michigan have stayed positive so far, Restore Our Future launched a new ad Wednesday slamming Santorum in Michigan, Ohio and Arizona. The ad paints the former Pennsylvania senator as a prodigious spender and Washington insider.
"In a single session, Santorum co-sponsored 51 bills to increase spending and zero to cut spending," the ad says.
The ad also revives a claim Santorum has bitterly disputed, suggesting he supported legislation allowing felons to vote. Santorum voted for legislation that would have restored felons' voting rights after they served their sentences and parole. Restore Our Future ran similar ads against Santorum in South Carolina.
Romney's message so far has been largely biographical.
"I grew up in Michigan, it was exciting to be here," Romney says his latest ad, as old images of Detroit-made automobiles flash by along with photos of Romney as a boy with his father. The ad criticizes President Barack Obama for continuing the bailout of U.S. auto manufacturers. Romney opposed the bailout.
Santorum's campaign has gone on the air in Michigan with a humorous ad showing a Romney lookalike shooting mud from a gun at a cutout of Santorum.
"Mitt Romney's negative attack machine is back on full throttle," the ad says, suggesting Romney is running away from promoting the universal health coverage law he signed as governor of Massachusetts and later became a blueprint for Obama's health care reform.
But Santorum's campaign has spent just $42,000 on cable television to run the ad in Michigan. It has also purchased about $223,000 in cable advertising in Ohio, Tennessee and Oklahoma.
Gingrich and Santorum are eyeing success in Ohio, the biggest Super Tuesday prize and another manufacturing state hit hard by the recession. Restore Our Future is working to shore up Romney's position there and in other Super Tuesday states and Southern strongholds Gingrich intends to challenge, including Georgia, which he represented in Congress.
Gingrich has struggled to regain momentum since losing Florida's primary after Romney and the allied group spent $15 million against him.
Associated Press writers Philip Elliott and Kasie Hunt in Washington, Tom Beaumont in Iowa and Steve Peoples in Detroit contributed to this report.

Samsung tapped by Microsoft to supply 7.9-inch displays for Surface
Samsung has reportedly been tapped by Microsoft to supply 7.9-inch panels for a smaller version of its Surface, according to Digitimes. The purported smaller tablet could be released as soon as the end of June, however, no Taiwanese suppliers have yet been included on the supplier list. Microsoft has not revealed its plans for future versions of its Surface tablet, but it recently changed the specifications of Windows 8 to accommodate displays that could be used on smaller tablets.

The Wall Street Journal reported in early April that Microsoft was prepping a smaller 7-inch tablet. Sales of its larger Surface RT and Surface Pro have been relatively tepid, along with sales of larger Windows 8 tablets generally. The rise in popularity of 7-inch Android tablets, as well as the 7.9-inch iPad mini have accounted for as many as 50 percent of all tablets according to research by IDC. Introducing smaller Windows 8 tablets will help to address up to 50 percent of the tablet market, which should result in an uptick in Windows tablet sales.

 However, this is on the assumption that users continue to buy larger Windows 8 tablets and don't migrate en masse to the smaller form factor. It cannot, however, yet be predicted whether Microsoft and its partners will sell enough of the planned smaller form factor devices to help boost overall Windows 8 tablet sales. The arrival of Windows 8.1, also known by its codename Windows Blue, in the latter half of the years should also assist with user acceptance of its new operating system. This will also include a refresh of the Window RT tablet OS designed to work on low-power ARM processors.

The Most Rev. James C. Timlin, D.D., bishop emeritus of Scranton, had a simple mission Saturday night.
He needed to thank as many people at the American Heart Association's Lackawanna County Heart Ball as possible. Since he's recovering from heart surgery, he felt it was the least he could do.
"I'm extremely grateful," Bishop Timlin said.
On Saturday, nearly 300 people gathered at the Radisson at Lackawanna Station hotel for the 17th annual Lackawanna County Heart Ball.
Event coordinator Julanne Hogan said the annual event raises more than $100,000 for the American Heart Association. All of it goes to fund research to fight heart disease and strokes.
"We are raising funds today for tomorrow's research," she said.
Jack Walsh, president of Mended Hearts Inc.'s Chapter 276, credits research with keeping him alive. An 18-year survivor of heart disease, he said the level of importance for fundraising events is incalculable.
"It's tremendous," Mr. Walsh said.
Bishop Timlin is also grateful to return to his pastime: flying. A pilot of more than 50 years, he had to put his hobby on hold until he recovered from heart surgery in June.
Now that his requisite six months of recovery is completed, he can once again take the helm of an airplane.
"I feel fine," Bishop Timlin said.
"I'm good as new."

Geoffrey Raymond's disturbing-but-funny Hank Paulson portrait...
More News
... and one of those creepy Blue Man Group dudes?
Raymond's annotated paintings contain notations written in pen by various people -- in the case of the Paulson and Dick Fuld portraits, he went to the Sotheby's auction of Lehman-owned art and handed out pens to passersby. Ex-Lehman employees are in green, general public in blue or black. Getting ex-Lehman employees to sign the Paulson portrait (remember Paulson, an ex-Goldman chief, killed Lehmann by selectively refusing it a bailout) was an inspired move. The strategy leads to comments like "How do I explain to my 3 year-old why I am home?" and "Asshole Thief Liar Did I leave anything out?" and the touching "Your mother sucks cocks in hell!" If I had an extra $65,000 I might buy it, but, well... those monthly porn bills add up! A print, however, might be a Christmas necessity. I recommend checking out the site for the Maria-Bartiromo-as-Virgin-Mary portrait alone.

Chiiiiiiips! I'm done with parent conferences, report cards and teacher lab! Two weeks until winter break – maybe I can rejoin the land of the living!
December 8, 2013 at 7:08 pm
Welcome back, Maryl! I like the way you dusted your hands after report cards, then strolled regally into the TOD village. Classy.
December 9, 2013 at 12:35 am
Well, I did have a bit of a stomach bug this weekend, but I think I'll be back in fighting form tomorrow! Didn't want to spread him around the Village!
December 8, 2013 at 7:16 pm
It is, CarolMae! Come, sit, make yourself comfortable and bask in the warmth.
December 8, 2013 at 7:06 pm
What a beautiful couple!
VC- Glowing is the only word…….simply glowing as FLOTUS is flowing. PBO is proudly showing his Queen.
Snowing in NYC but this is just a dream to come home to…….
Let it flow….-
December 8, 2013 at 7:14 pm
Yep, LDS, they glow! Both of them. ONE of the things I love about them is that they are such well-grounded, well-rounded adults. They know when and how to play, just like they know when and how to attend to business. I cannot recall another First COUPLE who regularly showed such honest happiness in some of the tasks they had to perform. Frankly I can't recall any that showed the same naturalness and ease in their WH stint.
December 8, 2013 at 7:32 pm
Its 'Algae-Green'!….you guys just wanna start another clothing color war – bring it!
December 8, 2013 at 7:09 pm
Anyone know when PBO and Flotus leave for South Africa. I hope they get some rest.
December 8, 2013 at 7:11 pm
Thanks, Chiparoo! FLOTUS always knocks it out of the park. EVERY. TIME. POTUS can rock a tux like no other.
December 8, 2013 at 7:21 pm
Great job UT, I'll have to retweet later though. Met my limit retweeting. 😦
December 8, 2013 at 7:33 pm
the seem to be a different shade of teal…but like you said…Our FLOTUS is strikingly beautiful….
December 8, 2013 at 7:48 pm
I'm agreeing! I knew as soon as I posted they would look a different color in another photo.
December 8, 2013 at 11:12 pm
I am betting on Calypso Green. But then again may be I am biased because I like Calypso music. In any case, the First Lady looks stunningly gorgeous!
December 8, 2013 at 7:17 pm
POTUS looks like the cat that caught the canary holding FLOTUS's hand. They are gorgeous!
December 8, 2013 at 7:22 pm
An evening break dedicated o my beautiful friends on this BLOG. There's a lesson here for all of us, eh?
December 8, 2013 at 7:27 pm
Hiya hopefruit2. I got back yesterday ahead of the snow. It's time for my evening toddie, eh? 🙂
December 8, 2013 at 7:36 pm
Sure ya did. I monitored the chatter on my smartphone and there were some that needed naughty mats REAL bad! 😀
December 8, 2013 at 7:41 pm
Your authority was severely missed Shipmate, Hopefruit and VC especially were just out of control at times, no naughty mat, no matter how enormous, could have contained them. So relieved you are back, hope you had a wonderful time, now get to work – sort these rascals out.
December 8, 2013 at 8:01 pm
Yeah. Too bad I have to stand my watch in a P-Coat and wool watch cap. 😆
December 8, 2013 at 8:16 pm
Right style but wrong material. It should be Melton wool and washable. Every piece of an enlisted seaman's wardrobe is 100% washable.

I just watched the Saban Forum again. ( 4th time ) and noticed that Justice Breyer was there in the front along the rope line.
December 8, 2013 at 7:40 pm
Recall that you were feeling nervous about President Obama's appearance on Hardball last Thursday, whicn pretty much got overlooked because it happened on the same day as President Mandela's passing.
Thought PBO's appearance was outstanding, as usual. He had such grace and ease, and Tweety was the one who looked discomfitted.
Loved this take-away about PBO calling out Tweety for his complaints about the IRS on Morning Joe.
As PBO has proved time and time again, and as BobFR reminds us, #TrustBarack, he's earned it.
December 8, 2013 at 8:30 pm
Tweety probably missed it. He's too busy trying to sell his book about the "Gipper" and looking for another Kennedy's ass to kiss.
December 8, 2013 at 7:34 pm
What a pair! I loved the expression on the President's face in the one Chips made it possible for us to enlarge. The enlargement made it possible to REALLY see his expression. His expression said: ""She's MINE! I got the best, and you guys all know it!" My husband agreed and smiled, said yeah, that's it.
I've never seen a pair in public life so handsome, beautiful and elegant. -

More on reviving Detroit: http://business.financialpost.com/2013/11/29/detroit-long-term-investment/
The Chinese are buying distressed properties as well in Detroit for investment. As usual, the bigots who despise black people are out in force nalysaying. But when Chinese buyers finally build/restore those properties and hire the locals to work for them, then those same bigots will be screaming "invasion" or worse.

Actually, Jeff, according to the implication in the media, it was his dog Sunny, this time, purposefully seeking out a little girl to plow down.

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, congressional Democrats to commemorate Mandela in South Africa http://wp.me/p4HKM-1ehr
December 8, 2013 at 8:04 pm
Gross! I should be more forgiving, like Nelson Mandela himself and our President, but I hope they seat Cruz with the Westboro so-called Baptist members in a holding pen at the airport in SA.
December 8, 2013 at 11:31 pm
I am with you Judith! I understand that every human being, including Ted Cruz, is capable of redemption. What I can't stand are manipulative and cynical hypocrites. How in the world can Cruz prophesy to genuinely respect Nelson Mandela, but at the same time constantly trash President Obama?
December 8, 2013 at 8:05 pm
This is incongruous with his actions since he's been a Senator. It isn't real. This is for show. I don't trust that man for anything.
December 8, 2013 at 8:09 pm
All an effort to look 'statesmanlike', DF, ahead of 2016 – it's a disgusting joke, I would give anything for the Mandela family to tell the bigot he is not welcome.
December 8, 2013 at 8:18 pm
I'd PAY to hear those words come out of the Mandela family's mouth. He's a fraud, through and through.
December 8, 2013 at 8:34 pm
Oh, I'd pay anything too, DF! But I suspect they are too gracious to ban anyone from Nelson's funeral. It's a disgusting farce, that guy would have hanged Nelson Mandela if he'd had a say at the time.
December 8, 2013 at 8:54 pm
Will this be Cruz' first trip abroad? Probably trying to kick start his FP creds (barf!). I seriously doubt the Mandelas will have time to notice Cruz.
December 8, 2013 at 8:58 pm
IMO Cruz is going after his photo-op FP moment, much like Paul Ryan staged his community service with the clean pots and pans. Anyone noticed Ryan doing any more 'volunteer community work' following that incident?
December 9, 2013 at 2:10 am
But with much bigger people there, Cruz will be sitting at at best, the children's table, surrounded by people who could care less and know even less about him. He'll get a photo, and that's about it. In fact, he probably should have stayed home for all the good he'll get and do.
December 9, 2013 at 11:03 am
'In fact, he probably should have stayed home for all the good he'll get and do.'
CarolD, I'd bet a photo is all Ted wants, and I'd also bet he'll be sure to get a lot of mileage out of it AT TIMES HE/his advisers DEEM APPROPRIATE. I figure the photo(s) (one of which will be sure to feature him close to some mourning Blacks) will have its place of honour in his profile, ready to be trotted out later when Cruz needs to boost his racial, or his FP, creds. Cynical, I know, but I think this trip will be more than worth it to Ted Cruz! The likelihood of Blacks allowing Cruz to hug them (for a photo-op) will be far higher in a mourning South Africa than in Texas/America where he is likely more well-known.
I'll apologize for my Cruz cynicism IF he makes it into the 2014/2016 campaign arena WITHOUT using any aspect of this 'paying respect' trip.
December 8, 2013 at 8:19 pm
In the name of Prez. Mandela, I will only swear off-TOD at this blatant exploitation (just to win political points)!!!!!!
December 8, 2013 at 9:09 pm
On US taxpayer's dime, I imagine. Fool. He will embarrass himself, and I will applaud!
December 9, 2013 at 11:05 am
Hi, Pamela. Cruz won't embarrass himself, I don't think, because he won't be asked to do or say anything. I think he'll simply try to look serious and mournful, and that shouldn't be hard with his normal, relaxed face.
December 8, 2013 at 8:14 pm
??? It's like they don't even realize how insulting they are, and how wrong their actions are – directly opposite Nelson Mandela's philosophies.
December 9, 2013 at 11:09 am
Aw, come on, Theo, you know they do NOT realize how insulting they are. Generally speaking these GOP pols are pretty simplistic in their 'thinking', lacking nuance, and pretty deluded in their 'understanding' of how superior they are not.
December 9, 2013 at 12:29 pm
You're right, of course. But that kind of obtuseness is mind-boggling. It's like a form of psychopathy.
December 8, 2013 at 7:51 pm
According to Ha'Aretz the Israeli newspaper, PM Netanyahoo will not be attending the state funeral for Nelson Mandela because it is too expensive to travel last-minute.
Nothing to do with President Obama and President Rouhani's attendance.
Sure, Bibi.
Nothing to do with a country that ended apartheid and what is now going on in Gaza.
December 8, 2013 at 8:30 pm
Vicki, Layla, I agree. How could he even fix his mouth to say,"it is too expensive to travel last-minute." Is he freaking kidding?
I just pray that some of those young people PBO spoke to in Israel who are ready and committed to change while living in peace with their brothers! they way President Nelson Mandela showed the whole this how this could be done, if you really want peace, would banned together and represent Israel to show this small man just how small he is.
I wish they would even start a donation for those who wish to attend. I bet they would have the money less than an hour.
Please do not insult ourintelligence weak shit.
December 8, 2013 at 8:23 pm
My god! What a small and petty man. It must pain Netanyahu to no end that a black man tells him where to get off.
December 8, 2013 at 8:35 pm
Don, I tried very hard to pass and not comment. I just could not! It will take the young people to bring this change like the young people did and are doing all over the world. The covers are being rolled back from these petty people and they are shrinking fast.
Come on, young people in Israel stand up to this petty man! The time is now…..if not, them when?
December 8, 2013 at 8:33 pm
His non-attendance will not be missed. There will be over 90,000 people at President Mandela's memorial including many heads of state. It's Netanyahu's loss.
December 8, 2013 at 8:45 pm
Pkayden, I feel the same way about his non-attendance. It's his poor-ass excuse that irks me.
If President Mandela can invite his prison guards to his birthday bash. Surely, this man can walk on the same soil this humble man trodden. Maybe, just maybe something would rub off on him.Just to think that POB has to ride in AF-1 with Dumba dem makes me ill and proud at the same time. Who would have thought to live to see this, a Kenyan leading the way off The Plane to pay tribute to the first South African President. Hot Damn!
December 8, 2013 at 9:15 pm
Netanyahoo continues to discredit himself, and his country, in front of the whole world.
December 8, 2013 at 7:53 pm
Oh my…Oh my….FLOTUS is incredible! Look at the Prez grinning from ear to ear!
December 8, 2013 at 7:53 pm
Glad to see Yardarm back, with his keys to the naughty mat vault.
Joe Biden was a force of nature during his whirlwind tour of Asia this week.
Loved this photo taken by @DavidNakamura (who I have serious issues with regarding his "objective" reporting on our President):
And here's NYT today:
December 8, 2013 at 8:18 pm
Is VP Biden back home yet? He's done remarkable (and difficult) work on this journey – and very few people know about it. If we didn't have TOD, I wouldn't even know VP Biden had been out of the country!

Some post Thanksgiving wisdom.
Girlie Wisdom!
1. A friend of mine confused her Valium with her birth control pills.. she has 14 kids but doesn't really care.
2. One of life's mysteries is how a 2-pound box of chocolates can make a woman gain 5 lbs.
3. My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.
4.. The best way to forget your troubles is to wear tight shoes.
5. The nice part about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you are doing, someone else does.
6. The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight because by then, your body and your fat are really good friends.
7. Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.
8. Sometimes I think I understand everything, and then I regain consciousness.
9. I gave up jogging for my health when my thighs kept rubbing together and setting fire to my pants.
10. Amazing! You hang something in your closet for a while and it shrinks 2 sizes!
11. Skinny people irritate me! Especially when they say things like…'You know sometimes I forget to eat!' …..Now I've forgotten my address, my mother's maiden name and my keys, but I have never forgotten to eat. You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat!
12. The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing and then they marry him.
13. I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are eating too much, impulse buying, and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That's my idea of a perfect day!
December 8, 2013 at 8:16 pm
Welcome Back Yardarm!
I was gonna say more, but I've forgotten what it was 😆 -

I am so glad Jeff is fearlessly exposing the unethical U.S. corporate media!
December 8, 2013 at 8:03 pm
Makes my poor old tired heart skip more than a few beats to see them together. They are a stunning couple.
December 8, 2013 at 8:14 pm
ok, I give up – some colors I have never heard of before today are being used to describe FLOTUS' dress!!!
I hope that at least POTUS' is black – but one never knows!

h/t Political Carnival http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-asian-american-voters-20131208,0,6145540.story#axzz2mw5nbYnJ
After years of divided loyalties, Asian American voters have swung heavily behind the Democratic Party and its candidates, posing a serious threat to Republicans whose political base — older, whiter, more conservative — is shrinking by the day. (Although referred to as the Asian American community, "communities" might be a better word to reflect the diversity of groups tracing their roots from the Indian subcontinent to the Far East.)
The problem is every bit as acute as the GOP's widely chronicled difficulties with Latino voters. Though fewer in number, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population and a rapidly expanding part of the electorate, nationally and in battleground states such as Florida, Nevada, North Carolina and Virginia. […]
In 1992, Republican George H.W. Bush won 55% of the Asian American vote against Democrat Bill Clinton. Last year, President Obama won 73% against Republican Mitt Romney, a better showing than the president's 71% support among Latinos, according to exit polls.
Wonder how that "outreachy thingy" is going? They really think that the American public is stupid. How condescending.
December 8, 2013 at 8:28 pm
Everyone can see the bigotry of the T-Bagger controlled GOP. House Republican's refusal to even consider immigration reform is indicative of how they feel about minorities. It should bite them in their butts in 2014 and 2016.
December 8, 2013 at 10:37 pm
If the media supported the democrats – even 50% of the time – they would win in a massive landslide. How can anyone vote for a party that supports starvation and is against health care – weirdest political party of my lifetime – but half the population never hears about it.
December 8, 2013 at 8:33 pm
it is becoming very hard to be charitable to some people in the gop (the update about the Texan headed to SA particularly stings right now).
SO I think this is a good time to ask: "Jesus Take The Wheel"
December 8, 2013 at 8:41 pm
So I am alone in not being in love with the dress, huh? Lol, there's always one! Not that FLOTUS isn't stunning but I just don't like the whatever you call that looks like straps down. I much prefer a strapless dress with a gorgeous wrap instead. However, she might be the only woman in DC who could wear it.
December 8, 2013 at 8:46 pm
You may be alone, forus50…but you certainly are entitled to your own opinion:) I like your way, too….but this looks fabulous on her. Accentuates her gorgeous shoulders and arms….
December 8, 2013 at 8:46 pm
As fashion-challenged as I am, FORUS I don't normally do dresses. I tend to focus on the lady in the dress and the overall 'life' FLOTUS brings to her outfits. Having said that, there have been a few dresses that I've really, really, really liked.
December 8, 2013 at 8:58 pm
Any body can wear strapless(well, some) but that is FLOTUS. She is wearing the hell out of that dress! With shoulders and a back like that, Why not accentuate the positive?
Wraps are cumbersome. I always lose mine or trip me and somebody up trying to retrieve it.
That is a free and flowing dress only a confident woman with her confident body can pull that one off. It works for her.
Love it when she pops fashion like this. Sasha's got that DNA.-
December 8, 2013 at 9:13 pm
Totally agree about FLOTUS being able to wear it. She ALWAYS wears the clothes; they don't overpower her. And this dress in particular can only be "worn" by a physically beautiful and confident woman.
December 8, 2013 at 8:56 pm
forus50, you are alone. But that's okay as someone else said you are entitle to your opinion. The main point I always take away from what FLOTUS wears is she must be please with what she is wearing and that is the bottom line. By the way I love the dress and if I could wear it you dam right I would be wearing it.
December 8, 2013 at 9:01 pm
I don't care for the straps down style either, and that says more about me & my personal tastes than it does FLOTUS or the dress 🙂 But as anniebella said, FLOTUS is wearing it because she personally likes it. I don't have to like everything she wears, and I'm okay with that! 🙂 🙂
December 8, 2013 at 9:12 pm
You're not alone. The color is great, but I feel like the straps have fallen down and I want to pull them up. I think they'd look better if they draped straight across.
December 8, 2013 at 9:49 pm
No you're not alone. Michelle Obama is such a gorgeous woman she can wear almost anything and look good, but what I prefer for her are dresses more "sculptural"; I also think she's more gorgeous in bright colors, and in black.
A few examples:
There are many others, but damn… problems with my computer tonight.
December 8, 2013 at 10:28 pm
Not alone. I like 99% of FLOTUS's dresses and outfits, but this one is not on favorite list.
December 8, 2013 at 8:42 pm
All eyes are on her. At this moment, I think PBO could echo what JFK said in Paris: "I am the man who accompanied Mrs. Kennedy to France." At this moment, PBO is the man accompanying Mrs. Obama…..that's it!
I still say her dress is FLOTUS Green…..an original, not a copy, just like her.
December 8, 2013 at 8:50 pm
She's ON FIRE.
But SO IS HE.Signed: AWARE, middle-aged, white, hetero, happily married ole dude!
December 8, 2013 at 9:21 pm
Yes….all his tweets this evening should be collected and put in a TOD thread titled: "A Word from Jeff" LOL!
December 8, 2013 at 8:43 pm
someone close to Israel's PM Netanyahu needs to advise him to reconsider his decision to skip Pres. Mandela's funeral;
his current excuse is flimsy like : 'the dog ate my homework" and no one will buy it!
PM Netanyahu could have chosen to attend at least one event and worked with Prez Zuma to reschedule around Iran Prez
I hope he recognizes that his words and deeds are serving to create a sense of isolation for Israel and the people who elected him to serve.
think about it, in the span of 1 month, he will have noticeably attacked PBO and disrespected the memory of Prez. Mandela (probably because he can't be seen near Iran Prez) – not a good thing and ordinary people notice these things.
December 8, 2013 at 8:48 pm
Someone needs to let Bibi know that he could sit next to Ted Cruz and be in good company.
December 8, 2013 at 8:50 pm
My short assessment of Bibi = an unprincipled idiot, lacking foresight AND insight.
December 8, 2013 at 8:54 pm
Considering that Netanyahu has been accused of practicing Apartheid against the Palestinians, it might have been wiser for him to suck up his pettiness and pay his respects to the much larger man, Nelson Mandela.
December 8, 2013 at 8:49 pm
I concur. See post way above up there^^^^^^^^
My sentiments exactly.
Weak excuse even for a petty man. -

December 8, 2013 at 9:25 pm
And David Jackson used to be a really good Trib beat reporter. Very informative and well researched stories such as this one (which I had attended a mortgage lending conference back in 2005 and he was the luncheon speaker). He gave a wonderful talk about how he went about researching this and interviewing all the folks involved.
December 8, 2013 at 9:03 pm
Wow! Just Wow!! No wonder all the rethugs are so jealous of our beautiful President and First Lady ~ They want to be him so bad!!! 😆
December 8, 2013 at 9:10 pm
Don't think for one second that the sexuality that Barack and Michelle exudes doesn't make some people uncomfortable. Their is a dynamic at play here that disturbs some people. The fear of a "Black Penis."
December 8, 2013 at 9:16 pm
Wow 😯 You went there ❓
Oh My lord 😉
I was 😆 Loud and spat through my nose. It is all YOUR Fault Don 😉
December 8, 2013 at 9:19 pm
Yes I went there, we all think it but we just don't want to say it. I'm surprised it hasn't been talked about before.
December 8, 2013 at 9:40 pm
That's part of it but not the whole story. I think there's FAR greater fear of his brains, his emotional stability. Ditto for FLOTUS. Together they have a kind of unique synergy (along with their sexuality) that is rarely encountered in political couples.
December 8, 2013 at 9:03 pm

You may be thinking of the Profiles in Courage award? She usually does officiate at that one.

Thank you for reminding me we may have the pleasure of seeing one of her children standing in for her, since she's off on her first official diplomatic post.
Wise choice, Mr. President, once again!

Be gentle with links to that place Nena, there was a whole lotta PBO-hating going on there last time I looked – which was, admittedly, a long time ago.

Okay, please delete then. I saw that Picture as I Googled looking for the designer of FLOTUS' gown.
December 8, 2013 at 10:10 pm
Hey Chips, it really is a site dedicated to FLOTUS and her fashions. However, the blog owner feels that all comments should be posted in the name of true fashion critiques. However, trolls come with their veiled fashion critiques and bash FLOTUS and POTUS. That's where my blogging life began and used to be on their everyday fighting against those trolls. I think I actually came upon your site on there. When one of my comments was deleted because I went in on a troll, I decided it was useless to comment on the haters there. I still visit every blue moon, but I won't comment because I won't tolerate the foolishness.

It's sad LadyTNT, because it's a lovely site for photos of FLOTUS, just wish they kept out the PBO haters.

No worries Nena, a lot of the Michelle-obsessed, the President-isn't-black-enough crew inhabit the place, not pretty.

I can't wait to see what he accomplishes after 2016! No congress! I think we already know his success will be unprecedented.
December 8, 2013 at 9:51 pm
Actually, I take that back. I *can* wait. I don't want anything to rush the next two years.
December 8, 2013 at 9:52 pm
I totally agree with Shoq, HF. Freed from having to work with Congress and freed from the petty media, the president will exceed all expectations in his post presidential years. The best is yet to come.

Having grown up on an ice rink in Minnesota this is an art that is rarely seen on the ice anymore. Torville and Dean back when ice dancing in the Olympics really was ICE DANCING. From a Smartypants post today and then my favorite Torville and Dean performing the Paso Doble.
Not kidding, I have watched all of these probably 50 times, know their entire life history, etc. Such a classy skating couple.
December 9, 2013 at 5:25 am
One of my favorite Olympic events. Torville and Dean are LEGENDARY!
I still get goosebumps seeing them again after all these years. Their "Bolero" is simply the greatest ice dancing routine EVER!

Hmm…we're having a bit of odd weather. It's 28 deg F, yet there is lightning and thunder…. Okay, then.

I am catching up and totally enjoying all of it, Chips.
Welcome home, Yardarm. Missed you so much. I have some names for you for the naughty mats. Lots of them.
Our First Lady is just beautiful in all ways. Her dress is elegant and she is wearing it as only Mrs. Michelle Obama, our First Lady can wear it. POB knows it as well. Look at that smile on his fineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee face. Love our First Couple.HZ

Africa bears the brunt of the HIV/AIDS global epidemic. Over the last 24 years different strategies/interventions have been put in place but the epidemic continues to grow.
In keeping with the African proverb "Bend A Tree Whilst Still Green" there is need to pass the information to the children when they are still amenable to change.
According to the demographic data available, Kenya has a youthful population with the primary school going children, the secondary school pupils and the tertiary level students together adding up to a about one third (1/3rd) of the country's population. This category of the country's population forms a critical mass for behavioral change and the indoctrination of good value system through the entire societal fabric.

Gender: male Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Sat 9th of May 2009
Giggling, she took the washcloth from me and started scrubbing my back. I had to admit, it sure felt good and she did seem to be enjoying herself. Finally coming to a stop, she said, "All done, time to rinse."
Without even thinking about it I turned around with my eyes clothes and leaned back into the running water. Still keeping my eyes clothed, I suddenly felt something warm and wet encircle my hard cock. Looking down, all I saw was my little girl with her mouth wrapped around my cock moving it up and down bring me to full attention. Looking up at me with those eyes that just made me melt and I couldn't resist telling her to stop.
"Oh God honey, you are going to make daddy cum if you don't stop that." Without missing a stroke, she smiled at me and gave me a little wink. As she comes up to the top of my 7in cock, she licked around the bottom side of the head and slid it back down as far as she could take it. Getting about five inches into her mouth, she slowly pulled back sucking as she went driving me crazy as she did. Letting out a loud moan, not caring who heard me, Holly dropped back down onto my cock taking as much as could again. Holding it there, she starting moving her tongue around in circles and I could take it anymore.
"I'm going to cum baby!" I yelled as I started cumming deep into her throat. As I kept emptying my balls, I could feel her throat muscles making me cum more as she swallowed it all. Opening my eyes back up from the big orgasm she just gave me, Holly was still on her knees with my cock in her hand licking the last bit of cum off of it getting my nice and clean.
Standing up she asked, "How was that daddy?" leaning up and gave me a sweet little kiss on the lips.
"Great sweetie but where did you learn that?" I asked eyeing her up and down thinking that there might be a lot about my little girl that I didn't know about.
"One of the girls at summer camp last year told a bunch of how to and I wanted to try it," she finally answered after a short pause of her thinking about it. Next thing I knew, she had taken my hands and placed them on her small breasts. As I started to play with them she let out a little moan while closing her eyes. Sliding a hand down she grasped me slowly growing cock again and started to stroke it with her smallish hands. Watching her close her eyes enjoying herself I did the same as I leaned down and kissed her for the second time that day. As our tongues intertwined, I could feel the vibration of her moans through my mouth from hers. As she slowly broke the kiss, she turned around in my arms and so she could cuddle up against my chest.
Not caring what happened to me in the future now, I slid my hand down from her chest and right over her clit sending a shiver up her body, as I pushed my finger into her wet pussy. As I continued to move my finger in and out Holly leaned back again me and put a foot up on the side of the tub and spread her legs wide open to allow me better access. Sliding a second finger into her tight pussy, I reached farther in and felt around for her g-spot. As soon as I started to rub it faster and faster, her whole body went limp. As I was doing this, I couldn't help but think," I wonder what else she'll let me do?"
Feeling my hard cock pressing into her back, it came to me. I put one hand on her back and slowly bent her over forward. As her hand pushed against the shower wall, I took my cock and slid it down her butt crack and across her asshole and pussy making sure it rubbed her clit.
"You ever have a cock before baby?"
Shaking her head no slowly, she push back again my cock so it ran over her pussy and clit again. Still holding onto my cock I pushed just the head into her and held it there driving us both crazy and because she was so tight.
Slowly withdrawing my cock from her pussy, and hearing her moan with disappointment I told her, "let's get out and get onto your bed to make it better and more memorable for both of us." As I turned her around and gave her a little wink. Shutting off the water, I wrapped a big soft towel around her pulling her in close and kissed her long and deep again. After getting dried off and hanging up both our towels, I couldn't help but reach down between Holly's legs and rub her clit a few times making sure she'd stay wet.
I picked her up and kissed her deeply, she through her legs around my waist so her pussy rubbed my cock as I carried her off to her bedroom. Laying her down on the bed, I kissed my way down her neck to each of her nipples, sucking on each a little as I planted soft kissed down her little tummy. Getting to her pussy, I gave her clit a little flick with the tip of my tongue as few times making her squirm all over the bed. Pulling her legs up to her chest I flattened my tongue and licked from her little asshole all the way up to her clit, giving it another good flick of my tongue.
Sliding my tongue back down, I pushed my tongue into her little pussy and moved it around. Moving it in and out, made her soaking wet. Smiling up at her, she was moaning while grabbing onto the sheets with both hands from the amount of pleasure that I was giving her. Giving her slit one long lasting suck, I kissed my way back up her tummy to each of her nipples and gave each of them another flick of my tongue.
As my lips reached her neck, I reached down and grabbed my cock. Moving the head up and down making it wet with her juices. Holding it at the entrance to her pussy, I kissed her deeply as I began sliding my hard cock into my little girl. Soon I had my whole cock inside the only other person I had ever truly loved besides my late wife.
Holding still, I looked down to see our pubic bones touching each other. Making my cock twitch inside her, made her giggle. Which in turn, made her pussy tighten up around my cock.
"Daddy, your cock is moving inside me," she said as she giggled again. "It feels so good when you do that too." With her saying that, gave me the cue to start making love to her like I knew she should be her first time. Slowly I started moving my hips back and forth over and over again. Soon all I could hear was the little moans getting louder and louder in my ear. As I began pulling almost all the way out and thrusting my whole cock deep inside her, she wrapped her arms around my neck holding on for dear life and put her legs around my hips as I would grind into her clit when I came down into her.
Not too long after that, I felt her dig her finger nails into my back as I held myself deep inside her, and I knew that she had just had her first orgasm from my cock. Giving her a few move pumps with my cock, sent her over again. As she was holding me close, I whispered in her ear, "Daddy's going to cum deep inside you baby girl." She wrapped her legs even tighter around me as I gave her pussy a few hard quick strokes. Not being able to hold back any more, I held her down and thrust as deep and hard as I could and let jet after jet of hot cum coat the insides of her pussy.
As she was coming down from having another orgasm as I came deep inside her, she looked up into my eyes smiling as little tears rolled down her cheeks.
"I love you so much Daddy! That was the best feeling in the world!"
"I know sweetie," I said as I kisses her sweetly and moved next to Holly. As my cock slowly slid out of her, she moved up and laid her head on my chest quickly falling asleep holding me close. Soon after kissing the top of her head, I wondered when the next time would be. Slowly falling asleep myself, I would soon find out when that would be.

Investment trusts have been around for much longer than unit trusts, yet many investors just ignore them because they find their structure too complicated. Advocates of investment trusts say you could be missing out on opportunities today if you avoid these ol' traditional stockmarket funds.
Investment trusts have been around for much longer than unit trusts, yet many investors just ignore them because they find their structure too complicated. Advocates of investment trusts say you could be missing out on opportunities today if you avoid these ol' traditional stockmarket funds.
"They are suitable for anyone who wants to save or invest over the longer term," says Daniel Godfrey, director general of trade body, the Association of Investment Trust Companies. "There is a huge variety of investment trusts available which provide everything from high risk... to very low risk," he says.
The first investment trust was launched in 1868 by Foreign & Colonial. It was the world's first collective investment vehicle, and aimed to raise £1m to invest in government stocks of foreign countries and colonial territories.
At the time, the prospectus said the trust aimed, "to give the investor of moderate means the same advantages as the large capitalist in diminishing the risk of investing in Foreign and Colonial Government stocks, but spreading the investment over a number of different stocks."
The principle is the same. Like unit trusts and open-ended investment companies (Oeics), investment trusts are pooled funds of stocks and shares from a wide range of issuers. But unlike the other types of fund, they are incorporated as quoted companies, and instead of buying a unit in a fund, investors buy shares in that company.
Closed-ended funds with a fixed amount of capital, no one can buy shares in an investment trust unless someone else is willing to sell. Therefore, the share price fluctuates according to the rules of supply and demand, rather than as a direct reflection of the value of the underlying investments of the fund. Hence, trusts often trade at either a discount or a premium to their net asset value (NAV).
At the moment, shares in investment trusts are trading at an average discount of 14 percent to their NAV, according to the Association of Investment Trust Companies. Emerging-markets trusts are trading at an average discount of 23 per cent. Fund management groups say the reason for this undervaluation is largely technical, and they have been doing their utmost to bring prices up to what they believe is a more realistic level.
On their behalf, the AITC is now in the second year of its multi-million pound "its" advertising campaign. The publicity drive aims to introduce 75 percent of UK adults to investment trusts over five years. The AITC says that traditionally, the customer base for investment trusts has been institutional investors. But mergers between life-insurance companies have created companies that are now large enough to do their own investing and are less reliant on investment trusts.
It is largely this institutional withdrawal from investment trusts which has opened up the discounts to net asset value, seen in trust share prices, experts say. But the AITC believes that as the welfare state recedes, people will increasingly need investment vehicles - including investment trusts -- to provide for themselves in retirement.
It is this discount - or premium in some cases - which makes investment trusts appear complicated to many smaller investors. By contrast, unit trusts seem simpler because the combined price of all the units in issue should always add up the value of the assets held.
However, closed-end funds may enable fund managers to invest more effectively. Jason Hollands of discount broker Best Investment says that in a market downturn, unit-trust investors are likely to sell their units, which forces the unit trust manager to liquidate some of their holdings to repay the unit-holders. This often means the manager must sell the best stocks because they are more liquid.
"But an investment trust can continue to hold the same investments - the manager's investment strategy is not being dictated by market sentiment. He could even start buying," in a downturn, and pick up some bargains, says Mr Hollands.
Investment trusts can borrow money to invest, but unit trusts cannot. This means they can magnify gains by borrowing at a certain rate of interest, and investing that money in shares which produce a higher return. Of course this ability to become geared brings with it a greater risk too.
Unlike unit trusts, investment trust have no restrictions on how they invest. They can hold property as an investment, for example, and also buy shares in unlisted companies. Again, this is riskier, but can mean potentially higher returns.
There is one type of investment trust which can be particularly useful for specific investment aims. Split capital-investment trusts invest in the same way as any other investment trust, but they issue several different types of share.
This allows investors to choose precisely the type of return and level of risk they want. The most common types are capital shares, which assume the capital growth of a trust not allocated to other shares, and income shares which take on the dividends of all the shares.
Other types include zero-dividend preference shares. They pay no dividend but are instead entitled to a fixed return when the trust is wound up. They are low-risk because they have first call on the trust's money at the end. Capital shares, on the other hand, are the most risky because they come last in the pecking order.
Shares in investment trusts can be bought through a stockbroker, or directly from the management group. Most investment trusts accept regular savings and their shares can be held in an individual savings-account to shelter them from capital-gains tax liability.
But it is the underlying investment, rather than the vehicle, which is important. "People get too caught up with which vehicle they should be in, when what they should be asking is which area of the market should I be in," says Mr Hollands.

I had my doubts while working on this quilt, especially when it came to border and then quilting, but now that it's all finished it's definitely one of my very favorite quilts I made so far.
Linking up to Made by me Wednesdays.
Looks gorgeous! I spiral quilted a quilt for the first time in January. I went the wrong direction which was a pain coz the size of the quilt going through the throat of the machine got bigger. It was sooo worth the effort though. It's my favourite quilting that I've done myself. It is really soft still too. I'll definitely spiral quilt again and this time go the right way!
ReplyDeleteVery nice quilting..patches are very beautiful and very nice color.

Which Joe gave his name to 'sloppy joes'? We look at five interesting sandwiches and their lexical origins.
A deciduous flowering shrub with clusters of brightly coloured, sometimes fragrant flowers. Azaleas are typically smaller than other rhododendrons and there are numerous cultivars.
- 'Other favorite flowers are pussy willow, azalea, peony and water lily or narcissus.'
- 'Rhododendrons and azaleas will continue to sell despite deer, black vine weevil, phytophhora, and rhizoc, but should they?'
- 'Flowers are blooming weeks earlier than usual with Castle Howard boasting daffodils, snowdrops, rhododendrons, azaleas and crocuses.'
- 'These two waterways enhance the beauty of the property at any time but especially when the rhododendrons and azaleas are flowering on their banks and reflected in the water.'
- 'These are gardens for all seasons with the rhododendron dell, the azaleas and flowering cherry trees in spring, and the rose gardens in summer.'
- 'Rhododendrons, magnolia, azaleas and camellias are all planted here in great abundance.'
- 'The easiest plants to move are those with thin, compact and fibrous root systems such as rhododendrons, azaleas, pieris, hydrangeas and boxwoods.'
- 'Both azaleas and rhododendrons should be pruned after flowering.'
- 'But the rest of the rhododendrons and evergreen azaleas kept their rich green color.'
- 'With that in mind I plan a grouping of azaleas and rhododendrons in the corner formed by the house and wall.'
- 'There is also a big selection of azaleas and rhododendrons as well as other shrubs such as potentilla.'
- 'The spectacular spring flowers of azaleas and rhododendrons make them among the most popular garden shrubs.'
- 'And the azalea, rare rhododendrons, oak, holly, birch and sycamore have altered only in the context of nature's sedate march.'
- 'The gardens are bounded by rhododendrons as well as azaleas, while in the woodlands there are snowdrops, bluebells, daffodils and narcissi.'
- 'Smooth hydrangea, sweet shrub, and deciduous azaleas bloom under the oaks.'
- 'Add flowering azaleas, rhododendrons, and dogwood nearby for a wonderful color combination.'
- 'Using shelterbelts of yew, box and laurel they began collections of azaleas, magnolias, rhododendrons and camellias.'
- 'As those flowers of early spring begin to fade the azaleas and rhododendrons and later flowering cherry trees in parks and home gardens provide a feast of colour.'
- 'Old Jack Frost and harsh winter winds are drying out plants with shallow roots, such as azaleas and rhododendrons.'
- 'Gardenias like an acidic soil and so grow well with camellias, azaleas and rhododendrons.'
Mid 18th century: modern Latin, from Greek, feminine of azaleos 'dry', because the shrub flourishes in dry soil.

From all I can find out there, it's a variation of West Coast Swing, done mainly in Texas. Anybody here familiar? What does it look like? Tough? Easy to learn? I assume it's mainly a social dance. Any differences from WCS that you can name? I'll be learning it soon. Just want to get a head start. 8)
Is it 'push' as in the sugarpush? If so, I'd say it's WCS, or pretty darn close, though I haven't heard of a dance just called the push. I'll try to find a clip and post it so we can dissect it on the DF.
TA DA!!!! I knew it was out there somewhere: This is a cool article that talks about all different styles of swing dancing: http://www.dancewhip.austin.tx.us/sept_october.html "If we move further east to Texas, we encounter the "Dallas push" and the "Houston whip". Terry Rippa of the Dallas Push club describes the Push as a dance which uses lots of turns and spins. "It is a smooth provocative dance," he says, most often done to rhythm and blues music. Barry Durand, a country western swing dancer, explained that the Dallas Push and the Houston Whip have a double rock step on the end of the slot, rather than the syncopations common to west coast swing. Terry noted that the Push is a barroom dance, not a ballroom dance. Most Push dancing in Dallas is done out at nightclubs, rather than in private dance halls. Mario Robau of the Houston Whip Club is a leading exponent of the Whip, a slotted variant where the woman does a circular body undulation at the end of the slot. Both the Whip and the Push are done to medium tempo rhythm and blues music, much the same as the Carolina Shag. "
Here's another link on push dancing. http://www.swingcraze.com/ussds/other_swing_dance_styles.html#Push
Thanks. Cool link. 8) It's starting to look like Texas, the state I'm moving too, is a bit ... unique, even in terms of C&W dance. From all I've read and heard, the style in Texas is a bit different than most other places. So, starting in a couple weeks, I'll have a lot to ask and a lot to contribute to the C&W forum, I think. It'd be interesting to do some travel to other parts of the West and Southwest while I'm out there, just to report back what I see. 8)

so frustrated
I know I am telling more than anyone really wants to know, but I have no face-to-face friends I can discuss this with, so....you guys are it. We are having some serious financial problems. To sum it up in as few words as possible, husband tried to start his own business, it isn't working out, he is more or less unemployed with little or no income. If something doesn't give here, I believe it is a mathematical certainty that we will lose our house a few months down the road, which I could take except that we have a house full of animals that couldn't go to a rental. Anyhow, I called about the home loan modification program that I have heard about. They can't help us because, wait for it....our credit score doesn't qualify us to have our loan modified or refinanced. If our credit score was good, it would mean we didn't have a problem, right?? Now we are trying to get a deferment on our daughter's student loan that husband is responsible for; not trying to not pay, just a year's break till we can get things worked out. They want documentation of his income, I said he doesn't have any. They asked if we are on any assistance programs, I said no. They tell me we don't qualify then; if you aren't on welfare, you can't get any help! And quite frankly even if we wanted to get on "assistance programs," I'm sure we couldn't because I work! Apparently, two types of people can get any help at all in this country: opportunists who don't really need help, just see a way to better their lives, and folks who are willing to quit trying to help themselves and just live on all kinds of welfare. I am just venting, pretty sure there are no solutions for us. Thanks for listening to me rant.

I am making a workbench for my shop. I have always used my table saw out feed table as a workbench. The out feed table has a height of 36 1/2 inches. I am a 6'5" guy and after working on the outfeed table for 4-5 hours, my back starts to hurt. I thought about making the workbench 40 inches tall. Do you think that is too tall for a workbench? |

Your back might be just generally hurting as a result of working 4-5 hours. You're getting close to bar height with 40". Then you could install a 'speed rail' on your workbench to hold vodka, tequila, rum, gin, whiskey, etc. to further ease your back pain. -- Perfection is the difference between too much and not enough. |
#2 posted 08-21-2013 01:44 AM |
I don't think it is too tall. I am 5'9" and have two benches, one is 34" tall, the other 37 1/2". I use the taller one for hand tool work, and the other for general construction. All the Best with your choice! -- Randy "You are judged as much by the questions you ask as the answers you give..." |

Redsled, that is the greatest idea I have heard yet. I wan't going to add a storage area under the workbench but now I might have to just to hold the booze! Seriously though I think my back hurts from the constant bending over. Upper back and neck hurts. I just didn't know if 40 inches was too high. |

If you are comfortable working at the bench, it isn't too high. -- Gary, DeKalb Texas only 4 miles from the mill |

There is no one size fits all height. |

see Paul Sellers recommend 38" for people between 5'9" and 5'11" You are much taller. He made a bench with 42" height for his 6'4" assistant. You can shorten the legs afterwards if you think it is too much. You may raise your outfeed table to experiment first -- Sylvain, Brussels, Belgium, Europe - The more I learn, the more there is to learn |

All my benches are 40" high and I am 5'11" tall. |

I'm 6' my bench is close to 40" high, screw hunching over to do a task. If you make your bench to tall you can cut some off, set some scrap on your out feed table to get you close to 40" work off that for awhile see if that's what you want. -- A friend will help you move, a good friend will help you move a body |

I'm 6'5" tall, too. I made my workbench, cabinet counters, and tablesaw top all 40" in height and it's been perfect for me. That said, my workbench top sits on a Noden "Adjust-A-Bench" kit, so I can change the height any time I want. - Jason |

I'll have to measure the height at the bar this afternoon. I can sit there and "work" comfortably for hours on end ! -- What day is it ? No matter. Ummmm What month is it ? No moron. I paid for a 2 x 6. That means Two inches by six inches. I want the rest of my wood. |

We have a bench at work that has adjustable height. Coolest thing I've seen. I want it so bad I can taste it. We have another work table with a motor driven height adjust. Programmable height settings. It was 1200 bucks though. Wish it was about 1000 less…...... -- Steve - "Never Give Up" |

I think it was Chris Schwarz who stated the workbench height should be at your outstretched palm while standing. He was probably considering hand tool work in this configuration. -- "Heaven is North of the Bridge" |

Working height is also a function of the type of work being done. Detail work is done in the upper chest range. Power work (Requiring large muscle groups) is done at a lower height. Some wood workers have different height benches for different work. Experiment and find what works best for you and forget about what other people say about bench height. 2 Factors to consider as I see it. As stated make it higher at first so the height can be adjusted. -- - Terry |

Very nice picture...Was this a staged shot?
Ronnie Ginnever said (2 Jan 2008):
Thank you all for you comments. Debra, that's a difficult question. It was partially staged. My friend was showing me a costume she was working on. The kids were about to go into the "kiddie" pool and the light was perfect. So I put them together and did what I do.

& you do it quite well; this is so dreamy and just looks like a fun day

A quite striking photograph, Ronnie. Talk about staged (or not), "Iwo Jimaâ€, the famous iconic photo, was staged...

Review: Brave
PUBLISHED: 09:05 10 August 2012
Pixar films often don't initially sound like good ideas but invariably prove to be magical. Occasionally though they make a film that is stunningly executed and wholly enjoyable but still doesn't quite convince that it was an idea worth doing.
I'd suggest that Brave, the tale of a Scottish princess with Rebekah Brooks hair, joins Ratatouille in that category.
The computer-generated animation is, of course, immaculate. As the camera sweeps across the lochs and highlands, the audience may speculate about how long it will be before we won't be able to tell the difference between animated films and live action films.
The answer perhaps is when they learn how to do humans as expressively and realistically as they do everything else. The long red locks are eerily real but comparatively the human characters look a bit like spoonfaces in a Constable landscape.
The tale is less much junior Braveheart than the early trailers suggested. The spirited young Merida (voiced by Kelly Macdonald) rebels against both her mother (Emma Thompson, playing the Julie Andrews role) and the prospect of being married to whichever one of the sons of the other clans wins her hand in the games.
Normally such a rebellious stance would be applauded but the film cautiously suggests that sometimes you have to sacrifice your own happiness for the greater good.
That's an interesting slant but overall the story, which borrows ideas from traditional fairytales, isn't particularly compelling.
Watching it you sense that the film's initial spark was a desire to make a film set in this period and a story was then rustled up to fit.
After the disappointment of Cars 2, this is much more like it. It is funny and energetic and girls will like a film with a strong heroine and no Prince Charming.
It is probably aimed at kids a year or two older than the traditional Pixar fare, though a packed Sunday morning auditorium got through it with very few tears or signs of boredom.
The film has already been released north of the border. The Scots are always keen to jump on any Hollywood film that panders to a sense of their specialness. The SNP though may not be too thrilled at a film where security and prosperity is best secured through the unity of four clans and a desire to be independent and breakaway from tradition almost causes disaster.
Directors: Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman
