As 2013 draws to a close, we're approaching a time of year when market participants become increasingly susceptible to outside forces; between the "Santa Rally", tax planning / concerns, window dressing / portfolio "cleaning", and the influx of "Best of 2014" lists, there's an incessant prodding to do something – anything. That prodding has been intensified due to rising equity prices, as well as newspaper headlines that are implying good times ahead (the cover story for this weekend's Wall Street Journal reads "US Economy Starts to Gain Momentum").
I'm not sure if Blaise Pascal really said this, but he's often attributed for having said the following: "All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone." A few decades after his death, the South Sea Bubble would prove just how applicable this can be when (apparently) easy money is being made by swarms of individuals without doing a lick of work.

- The intrinsic value of TWTR
- Peter Lynch Chart of TWTR
It looks like 2013 will end up being a very good year for equity investors; as of December 17th, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 are both up somewhere between 20% and 25% for the year (before the 2% or so they picked up Wednesday). A quick look at the S&P 500 by individual names (as of the 17th) shows that just 10% of those companies are in the red for the year – with the majority of those in the red down low-mid single digits. With a limited number of exceptions, being in the game was all it took to win big in 2013; add in the low double digit gains for the indices in 2012, and it's been nothing but sunshine over the past few years – an eternity in the eyes of most market participants (as long / short fund managers have found out).
Which brings me to Peter Lynch: Mr. Lynch hasn't been in the public eye too often since stepping down from the Magellan Fund more than two decades ago, so his recent appearance on Charlie Rose caught some attention; there was also a piece in the New York Times highlighting the charitable giving that Mr. and Mrs. Lynch's foundation has been involved in since the late 1980's. However, this isn't what brought Mr. Lynch to my attention; instead, it was a CNN Money article from 2003 titled "Peter Lynch: Why He's Buying Now" (that's the kind of headline the financial press loves).
Let's remember something before we jump in: stocks had been a real bummer in the three years prior to 2003. After increasing double digits in every one of the years from 1995-1999 (with the lowest annual increase at +19%), the market had fallen by more than 10% in 2000, 2001, and 2002; an investment of $100,000 at the start of the new millennium was worth less than $60,000 at the start of 2003 (if you think that's bad, consider the NASDAQ – you're $100,000 investment from 36 months ago was now worth just north of $30,000).
The financial press, as always, had an explanation – uncertainty:
"Just about anywhere investors looked this year they found things not to their liking: global tensions over Iraq and possible new terrorist attacks, spiraling oil prices, corporate accounting scandals, and an economy struggling to recover from the first recession in a decade in 2001. All of these created great uncertainty, which is what investors like least of all."
Of course, we know in retrospect that the uncertainty would never end (events just five years later would make the "uncertainty" of spiraling oil prices seem like a walk in the park); the future is always uncertain – some people just need to lose a boatload of money before they come back to earth and remember that tomorrow will only be "certain" after it has passed.
Anyways, let's get back to Mr. Lynch; what were his thoughts on equity investing after a few years in the gutter for the indices, economic weakness, political instability, and a growing recognition of questionable behavior in the C-suites of corporate America? You might not be surprised to hear that while others were scared of uncertainty, Mr. Lynch saw opportunity:
"I have increased dramatically all year long the percentage of my Fidelity holdings that are in stocks in general and growth stocks in particular… I've found that when the market's going down and you buy funds wisely, at some point in the future you will be happy. You won't get there by reading 'Now is the time to buy.' These things never go off that way. But this is the third straight year of market declines, and we haven't had many periods like that. I'm not a timer, but I thought I should increase my percentage in stocks. I've bought more as the year's gone on, moving cash from my money-market funds and increasing my equity bet by about a third."
Compare this to other "wisdom" from that same period:
''The confidence that people have had in the equity market to really deliver returns over the long term has just been shaken down to their roots,'' said Jeff Knight, chief investment officer for global asset allocation at Putnam Investments, which manages $275 billion. ''It will take many years before confidence can really come back in a meaningful way.''
When Mr. Knight says years, he really means returns. Confidence wouldn't have come back in a big way in the ensuing years if the markets had continued to dive or even stabilize; people became confident again because the S&P posted positive results in each of the next five years – starting off with a bang in 2003 with a 26% gain. It's the same cycle again and again – people hate stocks as they get cheaper, and only become interested once again as they become more attractive (and are able to find the headlines to soothe their fears – again, see this weekend's cover story from the WSJ).
In many ways it's sad to see that so many individuals are helplessly doomed to a life of mediocrity – at best – when it comes to saving for their retirement; undoubtedly, that will continue to be the case (and increasingly so as the days of defined benefit plans disappear - from roughly 80% of private sector employees thirty years ago to less than 20% as of last year).
I'm not making a market call; at the same time, markets are nothing more than a collection of individual companies – and as I look at the individual companies that I can understand, almost all of them are substantially more expensive than they were just a few years ago. I have not made a single purchase the entire year; beyond a handful of stocks that I'm taking a closer look at as we speak, I would require a decline on the order of 15-20% in most of the names on my watch list before I started to get interested. Until that happens (or the valuations catch up over a number of years due to market stagnation), I will continue to build up my cash reserves.
As it stands, my cash balance is in the mid-teens as a percentage of my overall investments (I'll provide a more precise update in the coming weeks when I write a year end portfolio review); that will continue to rise if stocks become more expensive, as savings are set aside in anticipation of future opportunities. Naturally, I will underperform by a wider and wider margin if this growing cash balance is combined with the continued double digit annual increases we've seen in the past few years (soon to be four of the past five).
Here's an important thing to recognize - I'm fine with that result. If you are not concerned with matching the indices week to week, month to month, or year to year, you're given the flexibility to abstain from new investments when opportunities appear limited; on the other hand, if you're constrained by relative performance (or look to the market for advice on whether or not you should be a buyer or a seller), Mr. Market dictates your investment strategy.
I won't buy unless opportunities meet a simple set of criteria: (1) can I conservatively value the business in question, and (2) is it trading at a meaningful discount to that conservative estimate of intrinsic value. If I cannot answer both of those questions, I will not invest – period. I would bet that Mr. Knight's comment from above is reflective of how most individuals think: they are concerned with the near term outlook for equities (that's why CNBC parades out one person after another with predictions for 2014), the "uncertainty" about what lies around the next corner, the fear of underperforming in a bull market as their neighbor makes easy money month after month in tech stocks, and so on.
(Quick side note - here's a tech example for you: Twitter (TWTR) has more than tripled from its initially reported IPO price, to a valuation north of $33 billion as of Friday; that initial IPO price was set less than 60 days ago. Amazingly, analysts have somehow managed to double or triple their "fair value" targets – now that's an oxymoron – and still call TWTR a buy; it's simply mind-blowing that people would hang their hats on the opinion of someone who thought the stock was worth $30 a month ago - yet continues to call it a buy with the stock currently trading at $60)
My philosophy is straight-forward: I will not let the market dictate my behavior; I will happily sit with cash earning nothing (and likely coming out a bit behind after inflation) until I find an intelligent investment opportunity. I wouldn't pay $35,000 for a farm (or an apartment) that could reasonably be expected to produce $1,000 in after-tax income a year – and the price jumping to $40,000 would only make me less interested. Almost anybody can grasp that simple example – yet for some reason, when it comes to equity ownership in publicly traded companies, people don't make that connection (the ability to easily check prices all day hasn't helped).
You may have noticed in the past that I'm prone to rambling; this article is yet another example. In an attempt to bring some clarity, here's a simple summation: when equity returns significantly outpace increases in intrinsic value, stocks have become less attractive; this can go on for a long time – until it finally stops. The most prominent example of this in recent memory came in the early 2000's, when tech investors (using the NASDAQ as a proxy) lost nearly $0.70 of each invested dollar in just thirty-six months; people were as confident as can be paying one hundred cents on the dollar – and couldn't be less interested when they had the chance to load up at thirty cents. If you're paying more than 20X normalized earnings / FCF for a business but would scoff at paying 15X – after the stock fell over 25% - then it's time to start cooling down, not speeding up. If you are making decisions based on a single factor - like the current dividend yield - you need to seriously consider if you know what you're doing.
Many have become increasingly confident as stocks have become more expensive; I'd humbly suggest that you might want to think twice about what you're doing if you're in that group. If a 20-25% decline in 2014 would cause you to move to the sidelines once again, now is the time to rethink your approach to investing.
Happy holidays to all, and I look forward to talking again soon!

This one arrived very quickly and discreet as always. :) Thank you, Lovehoney!
First a was a bit surprised by its size, but by trying it out, I find it perfect for me.
First two months it smelled like candy, which was a bit confusing, but also nice. This is my number one in bed and the bathroom. Because of its material, it feels very realistic and is also antibactarial.
Try this one out after putting it in hot water (to get it nice and warm), it makes it even better.
- Pros
- Perfect size and feel.
- Cons
- Bottom line
- Essential!

Lots of bendy fun
Reviewed: 16 February 2014 by greedy_girl, a Straight Single Female
Fabulously quick service from Lovehoney, a well packaged product.
I love the realistic feel of this bendy jelly shlong. It feels more lifelike than any other type of dildo I've used. It's very satisfying, I like the way I can bury it inside myself without any pain.
Easy to clean, it's one of my favourite toys. It does smell very strong but this wears off after a few sessions.
- Pros
- Satisfying and lifelike.
- Cons
- I liked everything about it.
- Bottom line
- Fabulously fruity fun.

Reviewed: 15 July 2012 by RedScouseBloke, a Straight Going Steady Male
Bought this after first getting the 8 inch version. Thought it would give my missus a bit more as she loves the feel of these products. Use with plenty of lube as without lube it will probably drag which I understand is uncomfortable.
Have graduated her to bigger toys but due to the length of this one I found that this is a great warm up toy and you can also use both ends to prep her for a bigger one such as the Gonzo or John Holmes.
Also, due to the smooth texture, I have folded it over and used it on her once she is good and ready and it gives her double the girth, which is a huge turn on.
Great to take on hols due to the versatility. Would recommend this highly!
- Pros
- Feel and length.
- Cons
- Need to keep away from other toys or they melt.
- Bottom line
- Great product my OH's favourite toy.

First Premier win for Harold Wood
PUBLISHED: 09:53 19 May 2014 | UPDATED: 09:53 19 May 2014
Gavin Ellis/TGSPHOTO c/o 27 Plaiters Way, Braintree, Essex, CM7 3LR - Editorial Use ONLY - FA Premier League and Football League images are subject to DataCo Licencing restrictions
Latest news from the local cricket scene
Harold Wood claimed their first Essex League Premier Division victory with success against Shenfield.
South African star Colin Sher (73) top scored as Wood reached 219-8 from their 50 overs, but the visitors made a good start in reply as their openers put on 85.
Shahbaz Khan made the breakthrough to dismiss Simon Keen (64) and Hamza Ikram (3-44) also made inroads.
Umar Farooq (2-20) and Sarfaraz Ahmed (3-22) ran through the rest of the order as Wood sealed a 58-run victory.
Top flight neighbours Upminster were well beaten by Chelmsford, who piled up 357-4 thanks to centuries from Nick Prowting and Adil Dewan.
Upminster fell to 121-6 in reply, with only Billy Gordon (30) and Shahbaz Butt (48) making much impact in the top order.
Harry Jenkins (43) and Nick O'Dell (55) shared a 98-run stand, but it was little consolation as the hosts were dismissed for 229.
Ardleigh Green were on the receiving end in Division One, as Hutton amassed 316-5 declared in 45 overs.
Hanuman Vihari Gade hit four sixes and 24 fours in an unbeaten 200 for Hutton, then nabbed two wickets to wrap up a 134-run win.
Luke Edwards (37) top scored for Green, as James Crapnell (5-49) took the bowling honours for Hutton.
Hornchurch celebrated a second successive win in Division Two, after beating Fives & Heronians by six wickets.
Spinners Chamikara Mudalige (4-83) and Marc Whitlock (4-73) combined to good effect as the hosts made 239-9.
And half-centuries from Ronnie Saunders (75) and captain Roy Smith (69 not out) saw Hornchurch home in the 39th over of their reply.
The news was not so good for Gidea Park & Romford, who lost by eight wickets against Belhus.
Sarvesh Damle (33) top scored in Park's modest 152-9, with Russ Collard nabbing both Belhus wickets to fall in reply.
Rainham came out on top in their Mid-Essex League Division Two derby with Hornchurch Athletic at Hylands Park.
Athletic skipper Sam Samarasekera (72) and deputy Paul Humphries (47) led the hosts to 197-7, with Liam Porter (27) also chipping in.
But despite two early wickets from Ryan Sammons, Athletic suffered their first defeat since joining the competition as Sid Patel (49) saw Rainham to a five-wicket win with nine overs to spare.
Havering piled up 242-9 against Great Waltham on their way to a 128-run win.
But Noak Hill Taverners slipped to a six-wicket loss against Rayleigh Fairview in Division Three after being dismissed for just 135.

Oklahoma authorities to target drunk drivers
Mon, 31 Dec 2012 15:25:40 GMT —
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Authorities in the Oklahoma City area say they're planning to crack down on people who drive while intoxicated.
The Oklahoman reports a team of law enforcement officers will be out in the Oklahoma City area looking for drunk drivers on New Year's Eve.
The team is composed of officers from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, the Oklahoma City Police Department, the Oklahoma County sheriff's office and the Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement Commission.
Patrols will begin Monday at 7 p.m. and end early Tuesday.
During the New Year's Day holiday period last year, six people died in six crashes across Oklahoma, and 219 people were injured.
Of those, the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office says one death and 31 injuries were in alcohol-related crashes.

Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong by Shen & Hicks
Lynn: Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong (First Second 2013) by Prudence Shen & Faith Erin Hicks features Charlie Nolan, the "benevolent jock that everybody likes." Poor Charlie is caught between the cheerleading team led by his ex-girlfriend Holly and his best friend, Nate Harding, president of the Robotics Club. There is one pot of money and both groups want it: the cheerleaders for new uniforms and the Robotics team for travel to the national robotics competition. Holly, whose glare can shrivel the mightiest of souls, throws Charlie into the election for Student Council president. Nate immediately throws his hat in the ring and the battle lines are drawn! Both sides wage a dirty tricks campaign that would be the envy of Machiavelli and the principal has to step in. "Mr. Harding, take down the posters," she says, "This is school politics not national politics." But the campaign tricks get completely out of hand and Principal Getty withdraws the funding forcing both sides to team up, concocting a wild scheme to win money in the Robot Rumble – a competition that puts Demolition Derbies to shame!
I loved this clever story that takes on high school culture, politics, and friendships. It is observant and laugh-out loud funny while also being really touching as Charlie struggles to deal with his parents' divorce. The black and white illustrations are just as smart, sharply drawn and filling the panels. The Robot Rumble provides plenty of Fwangs, Screes and Krunches and a little touch of romance adds sweetly to the satisfying finish. This one is a winner!

Hi all, I had liposuction of my chin and buffalo hump yesterday afternoon so i thought id post on the procedure and recovery.
reading these posts have really helped me so i figure id pass it on =)
This is not my first experience with liposuction, i have had my tummy done twice, once as a revision from a different PS; and once in combination with my arms which the current PS also did
anyways, so i roughly knew what to expect.
My PS,anesthesiologist and I discussed my options for anesthesia and we decided that even though the areas are so small, i was still better off with GA because i would be quite uncomfortable doing my chin and then having be flipped onto my stomach to do the buffalo hump which is...WAS...=) located on my upper back, right on the spine.
The pain on my neck was intense when i woke up, very stingy and lots of burning but that went away within an hour in the post op room. Chin didn;t hurt at all, just felt tight from the bandage!
I went home and immediately checked my smile which was perfect! no nerve damage what so ever, i can frown smile and even move my teeth and jaw back and forth without any discomfort
The chin is swollen and sore to the touch, but this is to be expected and id say is uncomfortable, not even painful
the bruising is minimal
I plan to massage with arnica and keep this head gear on as long as possible! i have not seen the results under the bandages but my boyfriend says even through the head garment he can see a big difference in my side profile, and the hump i can feel and have been told is FLAT.
Ive had the hump since around 8 yrs old, and delt with so much ridicule being called a hunchback and having people randomly say "whats wrong with your neck?" but the worst was the pain it gave me and how my bikini tops would cut into it, and at the gym pulling down the bar to work out the back? omg it would hit it every time! id give myself bruises if i wasnt paying attention.
and now its GONE!!
the price was 2500, and then we added 1000$ for the GA however, my PS, the amazing person that he is did not charge me for the hump =) he is so great. such an amazing PS here in Toronto
sorry for the longest post in real self history! ill post much shorter ones during my recovery and will get pictures asap

Digital Learning in Action
Some schools and districts are choosing to jump head first into the new digital environment. Here are a few:
In the Hempfield (Pa.) School District, 10th-grade English teacher Sarah DeMaria and her students use an extensive Moodle support site, a free and open-source e-learning software platform, as well as Sumo Paint, a browser-based online image editor and drawing application; Blabberize, a talking picture that can be used to enhance listening and speaking skills, especially for language learning; Glogster, a way to mix images, text, music and video; iMovie, which allows Mac users to edit their own home movies; Ning, an online service to create, customize and share a social network; and Wikispaces, simple Web pages that students can edit together.
This school year, DeMaria's students read the William Faulkner novel As I Lay Dying and composed a digital journal to analyze the novel's characters and their motives. DeMaria says she has seen a 5 to 10 percent improvement since 2007 in test scores that she credits to the use of technology to boost student learning. The tests are her own but are "identical or very similar" to standard 10th-grade tests, she says.
Superstition Springs Elementary School in the Gilbert (Ariz.) Public Schools is implementing a digital makeover that includes adding NEC NP400 projectors to its classrooms, allowing students to see subject matter better than huddling around a computer. Textbook pages are projected using a document camera, and teachers show online content from sources like Starfall.com.
First-grade teacher Valerie Gresser used the technology to take her students on a virtual trip to the Egyptian pyramids. With 25 projectors in place so far in the school, Principal Patty Rogers says reading and math performance have improved.
In the Hunterdon (N.J.) Central Regional High School, a single-school district, students in a Spanish class use Skype to communicate in Spanish with native speakers in South American countries during regularly scheduled class periods. They often follow that up on their own with instant messaging in Spanish with the South American students over interests they discover that they share, like cars.
From experiences like those, "their motivation to learn goes off the charts," says Rob Mancabelli, the district's director of information systems. "They are not learning Spanish just to memorize the vocabulary they need to pass a test. They are learning it because they have a friend in another country they want to talk to," he explains.
At the iSchool in the New York City Department of Education, students working on a project about the 9/11 terrorist attacks use videoconferences to interview students in other countries to learn what 9/11 means to them. The project is for a permanent exhibit for adolescent students that will be part of the National September 11 Memorial Museum being developed on Ground Zero in New York.
Monologues that the students create from their interviews will become part of the museum's archives, says iSchool Co-Principal Alisa Berger. Berger calls digital projects like that "challenge-based learning," because they encourage students to use technology to learn more than they would have to know just to pass tests.
Other terms, including "project centered," which describes educational practices that have students learn by working on projects, also are used to label digital-learning environments. "I love 'student centered' versus 'teacher centered.' It represents a fundamental shift that has occurred in the philosophy of education," says Elliott Levine, a former K12 administrator and now education strategist for Hewlett-Packard's Personal Systems Group.

Except, after using "normal phones" for so long, having to charge the LG every day was quite a shock (even though I knew that...). So I'd like to know how long your batteries last and how you extend their life. Mine last about 24-28 hours, of moderate use. 10-15min of calls per day 3-5 messages per day 30 mins of game playing per day almost no browsing no video playing/recording no camera wifi, bluetooth, gps and 3G turned off no taks killers or monitoring apps instaled except battery widget app no widgets running except smooth calendar all social app, mail etc. synchonisation turned manual The strange thing is, 3 nights ago the phone lost 9% of its energy during the night. This night, it lost 21%. With the same settings. WTF? I've used juice defender but uninstalled it, cause it wasnt doing anything else for me, then turning off 3G what I can do anyway per hand. Should I buy a app that adjust CPU strenght?

they are going fast
I just wanted to let you all know that 270 of the prints have already been sold, so that means as of right now there are only 180 prints left. Think Geek tells us they expect them all to be gone by tomorrow. I hope that some of you will send me an email once you get your print and let me know what you think.

I hate the pouch that my hysterectomy left - the scar is not so bad. With age and weight up and down (though never a heavy person) I have loose skin as well. Would I be a good candidate for a mini? Would what results I get would it really be worth it? What other options would I have? I am so very self-consious and embarrassed with the way I look.

Mini tummy tuck?
In my opinion, the mini tummy tuck is an operation that produces very limited results and is very rarely indicated. It involves a shorter incision but does not address the majority of the abdominal wall issues present for most patients who present consultation. For example, the area of skin excised is quite small. The abdominal wall musculature is addressed below the umbilicus leaving the upper number wall potentially lax. The appearance of the umbilicus is not necessarily addressed sufficiently.
For most patients who have had pregnancies and/or weight loss a full abdominoplasty is necessary to achieve the desired results. Of course, there are downsides (including a longer scar and probably a longer recovery time) but for most patients the benefits outweigh the downsides. It is not unusual to see patients who've had mini tummy tuck surgery present for revisionary surgery.
It is important to work with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon to obtain advice (based on good ethics and judgment) to improve your chances of a successful outcome and minimize the need for further surgery.
I hope this helps.

Mini tummy tuck after a hysterectomy
A mini tummy tuck is a safe and effective procedure that can create a more contoured abdomen, a tight waist and a beautiful figure.
In our Miami practice, we have performed many tummy tucks after patients have received C-sections or other abdominal or gynecologic surgeries. These patients are excellent candidates because as you have encountered, they already have a scar. We can place our incision below this pre-existing scar to create a beautiful shape and place the new scar very low on the pubis so that patients do not have difficulty wearing small bikinis or low-cut jeans. We can most utterly treat the bulge of tissue above your hysterectomy scar with such a procedure. Do not be concerned this bulge is extremely common!
Mini-tummy tuck choice
Without an exam I could not be sure, but the muscles look weak and it looks like you have a lot of skin that may be more amenable to a full tummy tuck.

Candidates for a Mini Tummy Tuck or Partial Abdominoplasty
A good candidate for a mini tummy tuck is one who has a tight upper abdomen and relatively little body fat and just some laxity in the skin between the belly button and the pubic area.
There are some individuals who are heavier and qualify for this procedure only because they are more interested in how they look in clothes and aren't dead set in wearing a bikini or bare midriff tops. I choose to give these individuals the option in having the full tummy tuck or for financial reasons, they may opt to have a partial abdominoplasty with aggressive liposuctioning of the upper stomach. Liposuctioning helps jump start the weight loss which should lead to changes in diet and exercise.
Mini or standard abdominoplasty?
The mini tuck with full abdominal liposuction could give you acceptable results, but you may still have some excess skin laxity above your belly bottom. The full abdominoplasty combined with liposuction could correct the laxity of your abdominal muscles, the excess skin and the excess fat. This would be my first choice.
Mini or traditional tummy tuck or possibly SmartLipo
It is not possible to determine what procedure you need from the single photo you supplied. In addition to photos from the side you also need to have an exam from a surgeon that is an expert in body contouring. The choice between mini tummy tuck, tummy tuck, and SmartLipo needs to be determined with an exam.
The way to determine if SmartLipo is the best choice for you is to see how well your abdominal muscles contract and flatten your abdomen. if you still have bulging of the abdominal wall when you contract, then SmartLipo probably isn't your best choice because it only removes excess fat and tightens the skin.
If you have bulging of the abdomen when you flex your abs then you usually need a tummy tuck (mini or regular). The way to determine which one you need is to see where the bulging is located. If it is ONLY below the belly button then a mini tummy tuck is usually sufficient. If, however, you have bulging below AND above (and especially if you have excess skin above the belly button) then you usually need a full tummy tuck.
Almost 90% of my patients that get a tummy tuck (mini or regular) will also benefit from liposuction of the hip area as well.
Candidate for a Mini Tuck
From the limited photo my answer is YES, maybe. I would do extended mini tummy tuck with upper abdomen smart lipo. I do this combination frequently with healing at 1 week.

Mayor Pro-Tem Frank Ferry and Councilwoman Marsha McLean have also endorsed my candidacy. They support me because I will be able to work with all members of the council to get things done to continually improve our quality of life here in Santa Clarita.
Since 2003, I have served Santa Clarita as a Parks and Recreation commissioner. During this time, we have expanded the Santa Clarita Sports Complex and created five new parks, including Todd Longshore Park in Canyon Country and the Veterans Historical Plaza. In addition, we secured 2,500 acres of open space.
I recently served as president of the 30,000-member Santa Clarita Valley Council PTA, and I co-chaired, with former mayor Clyde Smyth, the Measure V Bond campaign that raised $152 million for the William S. Hart Union High School District. That money was used to help pay for the construction of West Ranch and Golden Valley high schools and for extensive school modernization.
I also chaired the Measure E Bond campaign for the Saugus Union School District, raising $48 million for construction projects for their schools as well.
Where I stand
With the Cemex megamine, hospital expansion and a number of other key issues facing us, this election is very important to the future of Santa Clarita. As a voter, you deserve to know where I stand on these issues.
Cemex needs to be stopped.
We simply cannot allow a 56-million-ton mining operation in Soledad Canyon to become a reality. It has the potential to devastate our environment, adversely impact traffic and cause our property values to plummet. Worse, it could wreak havoc on public health.
According to a city of Santa Clarita press release dated Nov. 2, 2006, Cemex has amassed "more than 72,000 separate air quality violations in Colorado" and has had "violations of federal and state air quality standards so severe that the state of New Mexico had to issue health warnings to the young, elderly and to those with respiratory ailments."
We can't let this happen here, and, as your council member, I will work tirelessly to see that it doesn't.
Regarding the hospital expansion, I am dismayed that my opponents are either against the revised master plan or just refuse to tell us where they stand on this critical issue.
I believe it's wrong to play politics with health care. And I think it's important that we have ample health care facilities for our residents.
Santa Clarita deserves a hospital with a neonatal intensive care unit, an improved maternity center, cancer and cardiac "Centers of Excellence" and the other improvements outlined in the revised master plan. Plus, a better hospital will attract more top-quality doctors.
Public safety
Public safety is another issue facing our city, even though sheriff's Capt. Anthony La Berge and the deputies who work in our city are doing a very good job. They need more support.
I serve on the city commission that oversees both the Anti-Gang Task Force and the Graffiti Task Force. I know that the gang problem in Santa Clarita is real. As a parent of three young children, I understand the community's concern about our public safety.
To fight back, we need to open a sheriff's substation in Canyon Country, expand Neighborhood Watch programs and training, and fully implement the Anti-Gang Task Force recommendations.
But above all, to tackle our gang problem, we need to add more deputies.
Other issues that I consider priorities include:
- Keeping development from adversely affecting our schools and roads
- Completing the cross-valley connector n Securing funding for freeway truck lanes
- Building a community center in Canyon Country
- Expanding Central Park and the Sports Complex
- Creating more programs for youth and teens n Providing better services for seniors
- Revitalizing downtown Newhall
- Continuing the Whittaker-Bermite cleanup
- Securing more open space
- Not raising taxes on our residents.

Children and animals alike, who are paired one-on-one, are enjoying the new Paws to Read program at the Danville Public Library.
"It's very relaxing," said Youth Services Librarian Kathleen Baritell. "The children get to choose books they are most comfortable with, recreational reading."
The program was designed to help the reading skills of students in grades one to five who are recommended by reading specialists from the San Ramon Valley Unified School District, said Baritell.
The dogs are provided by the Valley Humane Society, which has been helping with Paws to Read at the Pleasanton Library for six years. The program was patterned after one launched in Salt Lake City in 1999, when it was found that children's reading scores went up after they read to dogs on a weekly basis. Their social skills and confidence also improved.
"A patron had asked if it were possible for Danville to have a Paws to Read program," recalled Baritell. "I did some investigating ... then I came back and started setting things up."
Eight children are participating in each of the two six-week sessions being held late Monday afternoons in the Mount Diablo Room of the library.
"Children get to practice to read with no assessment and no corrections," said Baritell. "Nothing is more important for children than to read or be read to." After those recommended by reading specialists are signed up, the program is open to others.
The dogs arrive first to settle in with their owners among the blankets and pillows. Then the children come into the room with books they have chosen.
"The dogs wag their tails when they know they're coming," said Baritell. "They are just lovely, lovely animals. And their handlers are topnotch."
Each dog is different, she noted. "A Chihuahua mix named Rico came right up to this little fellow. He wanted to be petted."
Some dogs lie on their sides. Others look away. Some seem to enjoy sitting there listening.
"Some children pet them, and some children show them the book like we do at story time," said Baritell.
Baritell has learned that some dogs, such as black lab Arbuckle, are very "food-focused" so they can't be given a treat every time they come; their owners say it's better to keep them guessing.
Choosing the children may be easy but choosing the dogs can be difficult, said Wendy McNelley of the Valley Humane Society in Pleasanton, which supplies the animals for both Paws to Read locations. The society also runs a pet therapy program in which dogs and their owners make visits to hospitals and senior care facilities.
"I usually suggest they should sign up for pet therapy first before going to Paws to Read," said McNelley. "We have 120 active teams right now. Someone is doing pet therapy five hours every day of the year."
But a pet therapy pro may not have the temperament for Paws to Read, she noted.
"It takes a certain type of dog," said McNelley, "definitely one not riled up by other dogs. You can't have a playful dog. You need one that is super mellow, responsive to the owner, and calm and submissive to other dogs."
She said she has a miniature dachshund named Oscar who is a great couch dog. "But he wants to hang out on the sofa with mom and dad. He doesn't want to socialize."
The Pleasanton Paws to Read also has a cat named Jefferson. "He belongs to one of our staff members so we knew him already," said McNelley.
The program in Danville is a great success, said Baritell, and people have been calling to ask if there is any more room. "One parent told me the child had been reading to their dog but their dog wasn't paying attention."
One time a reader didn't show up so she invited a child who happened to be visiting the library to come in and read to a dog. "They were very willing," she reported with a laugh.

|Not sure if I did the route correctly but it seemed somewhat contrived the whole way. The second bolt was extremely difficult to clip with ledgefall potential. The next 3 or 4 bolts consisted of the following movement: climb up on obvious holds, move WAY right to clip, move back left, climb up again and repeat. Following the bolt line would have included overhanging terrain on marginal holds and little feet, hard to imagine it going at low 5.10. At about the 3/4 mark, the bolt line and the holds converge on the arete, at which point the climbing becomes very fun and exciting.

The London Transport Museum in the heart of Covent Garden is offering young children the chance to transform junk items into new works of art.
Perfect for families enjoying Montcalm London hotels next month, the special sessions are part of a Makedo Mega Modelling Marathon that will hopefully inspire youngsters into learning how to re-use items they may usually through away.
The two workshops will take place on December 8th and December 9th and will be hosted by UK-based cardboard artist Lottie Smith. The sessions will run from 11am to 3pm and will introduce children to Makedo.
Produced by toy company Mattel, Makedo is a reusable connector system which allows various items such as boxes, plastic containers, foam and fabric scraps to be joined together and transformed into various shapes etc.
Project artistic director Smith explained: "We need hundreds of creative helpers to come along to London Transport Museum armed with all types of household junk to help make what will be an iconic sculpture.
"The only rules are no scissors, glue or tape will be allowed, only Makedo's clever connectors and safe-saws will be supplied."
The workshops are free for children and entry to the museum for adults is £13.50, or £10 for concessions. The tickets also allow free return entry for up to a year, so is ideal for families who regular visit the capital.
London Transport Museum was inspired to hold the workshops after a joint project with Makedo produced special collectable London bus and tube Makedo project kits that proved very popular.
The museum is a short walk from Covent Garden, Leicester Square, Holborn and Charing Cross London Underground stations.

Five-Spice Chicken with Shiitake Mushrooms and Lo Mein Noodles (click here to view and print recipe)
1 box Chinese Lo Mein noodles
1 pound thinly sliced chicken cutlets
2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder
3/4 pound shiitake mushrooms
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Sesame oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Prepare Lo Mein noodles according to package directions. While the noodles are cooking, prepare the chicken.
Sprinkle both sides of the chicken cutlets with the five-spice powder, rubbing it in well. Trim and slice the mushrooms.
Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large frying pan. Add the chicken and cook over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate, leaving the drippings in the pan.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the pan. Add the mushrooms and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until lightly browned and quite tender, about 3 minutes.
Add 2/3 cup water and the soy sauce to the pan. Boil, uncovered, until the sauce is slightly reduced, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan and heat through.
Toss noodles with sesame oil. Serve chicken over noodles and garnish with sesame seeds. Serves 4.

Mike Pearce had funded his mother's care for more than three years before the ombudsman asked Torbay care trust to review the case.
Now the Alzheimer's Society has called for a national debate on who pays for the care of elderly people.
It says Mr Pearce's case could give hope to others and help bring about a
change in policy.
Mr Pearce told BBC Radio 4's Money Box programme about his long battle.
"They've reimbursed the last three and a half years' fees," he said.
"We went to appeal, then I took it to the ombudsman, I waited 15 months for the ombudsman to send it back to Torbay and they used a new national framework that is still out to consultation, but I thought it was clearer and I would get a better result."
Andrew Chidgey of the Alzheimer's Society says the case could give hope to thousands of others.
"We know that lots of health care trusts are failing to provide health care for people they should be providing it for," he said.
"As more cases like Mike and his mum's come through it should ensure a change in policy. There needs to be consistency in the rules that are being used."
Medical need
But despite Mr Pearce's success he says the new draft guidelines do not go far enough: "I don't want to see the guidelines adopted as they are, I want to get them right first.
"We want far more emphasis on the importance of considering mental health conditions.
"There should also be a national government-backed debate about who pays for care that's the only way we can begin to unravel this inequitable system."
At the moment people in care homes should get the fees paid for by the NHS if they principally have a medical need.
But many health care trusts pass them over to the local council social services.
They apply a means-test and that is why Mr Pearce, like thousands of others, felt he had to sell his mother's home to pay the fees.
He said he pursued the case because it was right.
"If she was terminally ill with heart disease or cancer she would be in a hospice or hospital," he said.
"I don't think that a person terminally ill with a degenerative mental disability should pay for their own keep.

After threats from the hacker collective Anonymous, the US military has blocked Wi-Fi service inside the prison at Guantanamo Bay detention center including access to Facebook and Twitter.
Anonymous warned it would "disrupt activities" at the prison to support inmates there who are on a hunger strike.
So far, Lt Col Samuel House told the Associated Press there has been no hacker disruption reported at the base. He confirmed the suspension of the Internet was "a precautionary move."
More from GlobalPost: 5 things you didn't know about Guantanamo Bay
The hacker group launched "Operation Guantanamo" last Saturday to mark the 100th day of the prisoners' hunger strike over conditions at the jail and their ongoing incarceration.
103 of the 166 detainees were participating in the strike as of Monday, the AP said.
Protesters have gathered outside the prison as well as the White House.
Meanwhile, Anonymous posted messages on its website saying "we stand in solidarity with the Guantanamo hunger strikers" and "we will shut down Guantanamo."

Beretta 96 or Para GI expert?
I'm getting a pistol finally and it is down to these two. I've owned a beretta 96 and know how to maintain it. I really want a .45 though and Para had caught my eye. I already know about FTF and FTE issues as well as crappy factory mags and feed railrail needing a polishing and then there's the extractor thy usually needs replacing. I'm fine with replacing those things and some minor gun smithing. Suggestions?
I wouldn't think any reputable 1911 makers would need all the work you mentioned out of the box. And even if that was true about para there's plenty of 1911 manufacturers in that price range that are great.
Oh yes I'm a 1911 convert so if have to say go with a 1911,you won't regret it,para or not.
Do your research and pick up the 1911 you decide on and then go shoot it,if it acts right (which it should) then don't fix what ain't broke.
Also until you get up into the higher end production 1911's the next stop home with your new 1911 historically is to buy some wilson or tripp mags and throw the factory ones in the garbage.
Everyone should try the 1911.
The question of Beretta 96 or 1911 could fall in the category of "Chev vs Ford".
The 1911 works better for me than the 96.
I have a relativly new para gi expert and it doesnt suffer from any of the problems you mentioned. Its had around 1000rds thru it and other than 3-4 failures to go completely into battery while cycling when it was new I havent had any issues with it. The magazines work fine in my para and in my brothers ruger. His ruger mags work good in my para but they do have a little play in them. The accuracy of my para is top notch. Its a very good 1911 and if you want to do some upgrades its a good platform for doing so.
Cool thank you everyone I believe I will go with the 1911 since I've never owned a .45 before. I'll try something new.
Get the para with 3 dot sights
I know you already decided but to help reinforce your decision. I just bought a Para Ordinance 1911 Expert It's not the GI version it has the dove tail which is one feature I wanted. It's a great gun. The reason I wanted a 1911 is that there are tuns of parts for them and they have been made for ever so there are plenty of them around. Not saying there will be but in a SHTF situation you shouldn't have too much trouble finding parts for them.
I also have a baby eagle which is sort of like the 92 probably very different but take similar magazines I modified a couple beretta magazines to fit my baby eagle. The only thing that is an issue with the baby eagle. Finding parts is not very easy. They are not impossible but not abundant.

The Polish Finance Council has accepted terms laid down by the Bankers' Trust Company and Blair amp; Co., Inc., for an $80,000,000 loan to be floated here, according to reports in Wall Street. About one-fourth of the entire issue, proceeds of which are to be used to stabilize the zloty, will be offered publicly within a few weeks.
Bankers said yesterday they were without details of the negotiations which are being handled by four resident partners abroad. Some plan probably will be formulated to place an American temporarily in charge of Polish finances. Acceptance of the loan was cabled to the American-Polish Chamber of Commerce by the Polish Government.

We weren�t even talking money, I just wanted another two years. I�d never been hurt, never missed any games, never caused any trouble. I told Ringo I was concerned if it didn�t go well and he got fired, I would be a 34-year-old center and a new coach would come in and the first thing he�d say is �we�ve got to get rid of these old guys.� I just wanted a little assurance. I thought Ringo would say, �Sure, Mike. I understand. I�ve been there before.� Instead he said, �You�re playing here or you aren�t playing anywhere.� So I just told him �I retire.� Then later in training camp, he ended up trading me to Denver. I never figured that would happen, and then Denver winds up going to the Super Bowl. Outside of getting caught up in politics, I loved playing in Buffalo. The fans, the people. You just couldn�t get a better atmosphere for football than what they have in Buffalo."'

Don't be fooled by rank of Bills defense [5:15 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'Buffalo is allowing only 15.4 points per game, second only to Tampa Bay�s 15.2 points per game. That�s impressive and proof that the Bills have a talented defensive unit in terms of stopping opponents and forcing punts. But it has not been an opportunistic defense and that�s a huge part of the game.'

Do I Need an Electronic Transformer Or a Magnetic Transformer?
A transformer is a device that helps aid in low-voltage lighting systems. It can raise or reduce the wattage of the lamps in your lighting area. It converts standard electricity to a current used for lamps. Understanding the function of a magnetic or electric transformer will help you make an educated decision about which system will benefit you.
Magnetic Transformers
This system has two coils of wire called the primary and the secondary. The primary wire will carry the input or voltage and creates the magnetic flow which begins the current in the secondary wire. The primary wire has more coils which allows for it to carry more voltage. The exact output depends on how many windings are in the two coils.
There are two typed of magnetic transformers: stacked laminated and torodial. A stacked laminated trnasformer is square while the torodial is a doughnut shape. Stacked laminates usually last 15 to 20 years while a torodial can last even longer and are the quietest system available. Both types operate at a higher tempurature than an electrical. This system is typically not aesthetically pleasing and can be bulky. It needs to be close to the source.
Electronic Transformers
This type of system contains an inverter. An inverter changes the frequency at which the alternating current into the transformer changes directions. The higher the frequency of the voltage, the smaller the transformer needs to be to provide the required output voltage.
The electronic transformers are lighter and smaller than their magnetic counterparts. They are also more budget friendly but are noisy and only last 5-6 years. They are also heat-sensitive.
Does Westside Wholesale carry both systems? Yes, in fact we carry a variety of electrical and magnetic transformers including combination systems. We pride ourselves on bringing you the best systems by trusted manufacturers such as: Acme Transformers, Hatch, Ark and Halo to name a few. Shop electrical transformers types

Ploidy Number
Discussion of all aspects of cellular structure, physiology and communication.
Moderator: BioTeam

Ploidy Number
For some reason "calculating" the diploid and haploid number of an organism/cell is messing me up. If I have a cell with four pairs of homologous chromosomes, the diploid number should be four, right? Also, if there is an organism with a haploid number of X then what would the number for a bivalent, sister chromatid, and a nucleus after DNA replication be?
Check out http://www.bioinmotion.com for cool vids about meiosis and mitosis!
Re: Ploidy Number
The whole thing is wrong.
Haploid – half of total number of chromosomes
Mono– one
Di – Two
Tetra – four
Octa – eight
Cell that has only 1 set of chromosomes (no sister chromatids) is monoploid. Monoploid is sometimes treated as synonym of haploid when haploid number happens to be 1.
Cell that has 2 of each chromosome (like humans) are diploid.
Cells from your example, that have four pairs of homologous chromosomes in reality have 8 copies of each chromosome and, therefore, octaploid.
Haploid cell will have half of chromosomes in original somatic cell. So if original is diploid (2n), haploid is 1n; if original is octaploid (8 of each chromosome), haploid has 4 sets of each chromosome.

Wireless intrusion prevention systems have become standard operating procedure in corporate networks, including those without formal Wi-Fi deployment. From enforcing "no wireless" policies to blocking unauthorized sessions, these systems help companies see what's happening in their WLANs and provide tools to take corrective action. The webcast from Lesson 4 of SearchSecurity.com's Wireless Lunchtime Learning Security School describes the role of WIPS in WLAN security, the features commonly provided by WIPS, and how WIPS differ from (and complement) their wired network counterparts.
Also included in Lesson 4 are the following technical tips:
- How to prevent wireless DoS attacks
- Rogue AP containment methods
- Wireless intrusion prevention systems: Overlay vs. embedded sensors
- How to monitor WLAN performance with WIPS
In this part:
Tip: How to prevent wireless DoS attacks
Despite recent 802.11 security advances, WLANs remain very vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks. A WIPS can help you detect when DoS attacks occur and where they come from, so that you can track the intruder down and bring him to justice -- and prevent future attacks. This tip offers practical advice on how to recognize and respond to DoS attacks launched against your WLAN.
Tip: Rogue AP containment methods
Many wireless network monitoring systems now provide options to "block" rogue devices, preventing wireless or wired network access. This tip explores how these containment features work, their potential side-effects and what network administrators should consider before activating them.
Tip: Wireless intrusion prevention systems: Overlay vs. embedded sensors
Wireless intrusion prevention systems rely on sensors to observe and forward traffic summaries to a central analysis server. Overlay WIPSes use special-purpose sensors dedicated to this monitoring task. Embedded WIPSes use APs to monitor the WLAN in their spare time. This tip compares these two WIPS approaches so that you can choose the one that best fits your network and security needs.
Tip: How to monitor WLAN performance with WIPS
Wireless intrusion prevention: the very name brings to mind security. But many WIPS products can also be used to monitor WLAN performance, providing valuable insight for trouble-shooting, fine-tuning, and usage planning. This tip explains how to leverage your WIPS get more from your WLAN.
Quiz: Wireless Security School, Lesson 4
Is your understanding of WIPS up to snuff? Find out how much you retained from Lesson 4 of Wireless Lunchtime Learning.

New Delhi, June 13 (ANI): The star cast of 'Ghanchakkar', Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Balan, along with their director Rajkumar Gupta, were seen promoting their new flick in Mumbai.
While interacting with the media, Hashmi said that this is a one of its kind comedy film, which has never been made in India.
"Genuinely when Raj came up to me with the scrip it was a 4 hours narration which I think is the longest film narration I have ever heard. I had to take 3 toilet breaks and I think it's the best scripts I have ever heard. It's going to change the way we see comedies, because even though good comedy films are made in our country," he said.
The actor asserted that when audience will see the movie they will realize that they are missing out on a kind of comedy that they haven't seen for a very long time and its genuinely funny.
It's got surprises, its got thriller and some fabulous performances, he said.
Balan, who will be appearing in a Punjabi avatar at all the films promotional events, explained the reason behind her donning the onscreen character.
"I am here as Neetu today and that's the reason I am dressed exactly like her today. Honestly she is very real and she doesn't understand fashion. So she picks up things from fashion magazines, she picks up photographs and gives it to her tailor and asks him to make something similar to that even if it suites her or not," the actress said.
The 'Dirty Picture' star insisted that 'Neetu' is adorable and she is happy to be at the function as her and through the promotion one will see her like that only.
The film is slated for a June 28 release. (ANI)
