NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- I love TheStreet's Brian Sozzi. In fact, he might be the most refreshing mind/personality on Wall Street. In fact, Sozzi alone more than justifies the cost of a Real Money subscription. Dig a free 14-day trial and you'll see what I mean.
However, for a moment, I thought Sozzi had lost his mind on Starbucks (SBUX).
When I saw him posting pictures of empty pastry displays at Starbucks' stores I was taken aback. Almost offended. Starbucks isn't Sears Holdings (SHLD).
While Sozzi might suggest I'm letting love and personal attraction get in the way of good sense, I, as somebody who has written about emotional investing in Apple (AAPL) at $700, disagree.
If there was ever a CEO beyond reproach, it's Howard Schultz at Starbucks.
I'll broadcast what actually is -- thankfully -- a sensible take on SBUX from Sozzi at the end of this article, but first let's compare statements from Schultz and his (apologies if you spit your drink through your nose when you read this) peer Sears CEO Eddie Lampert.
Starting with Lampert, who, within the context of ranking corporate leaders, belongs in the outhouse. Not just any old outhouse, but one of those germ-ridden portables they set up at state fairs or outdoor concerts. The kind where there's no toilet paper left after ...
Anyhow, here's a portion of what Lampert had to say the other day at the Sears corporate blog in a post with a title that would make a dog chase its tail -- Are the new ideas about how retail is changing really new?:
... we launched a major transformation of Sears and Kmart years ago because we saw then that people had fundamentally and permanently changed how they shop as a result of the internet, social networking and mobile devices ... we ... have invested such a high proportion of our companys resources into innovations like the Shop Your Way membership program and our buy online, pick up in store programs, which are the foundation of our Integrated Retail strategy.
When we were among the first to pioneer these ideas, many people outside of our company found them revolutionary. Many others questioned what we were doing. Today, changes like these are what people expect everywhere they shop.
If I could live in perpetual hallucination like that, I'd be set. In fact, I might invite Lampert to go shrooming with me this weekend.
On the flip side, here's some rhetoric (using the term to mean art form, not hollow, unpersuasive B.S.), from Schultz:
Holiday 2013 was the first in which many traditional brick-and-mortar retailers experienced in-store foot traffic give way to online shopping in a major way ... As our solid traffic growth and record Q1 results demonstrate, Starbucks unique combination of physical and digital assets positions us as one of the very few consumer brands with a national and global footprint to benefit from the seismic shift underway.
If you pay any attention to retail at all -- and, clearly, Lampert thinks you don't -- you immediately notice the striking contextual and intellectual distinctions between the two sets of statements.
Shop Your Way has been -- and I think we can clarify this as an objective statement -- a failure.
Did it ever dawn on Lampert that riding the hind end of trends set by other companies, particularly Amazon.com (AMZN), might not be the proper way forward for Sears? That it's simply not the tonic necessary to revive the pathetic sector of retail Sears has played a major role in decimating. That, if it hasn't worked after all of this time, maybe it's not as forward-looking, innovative and "revolutionary" as he thinks it is.
Meantime, Starbucks devised and has, with wild success, implemented truly impressive efforts that have been in the works for a while. So when Schultz speaks of an "inflection point" in retail today, don't be fooled -- he was thinking about it, really hard, yesterday. But he wasn't merely thinking, he was acting accordingly. Crafting solutions appropriate for his company's set of potential problems.
The roots of Starbucks' mobile and digital efforts date back to 2008 -- at least -- and the efforts of its former CIO Stephen Gillett. Gillett brought Starbucks' current Chief Digital Officer, Adam Brotman, on board as the company's mobile efforts lifted off.
That's transformation. Innovation. Revolutionary.
Pardon my bluntness, Eddie Lampert, but be quiet. And I'll tell you to be quiet every day from now until you step down from a one-time national treasure and put somebody in charge who has a clue.

AUSTRALIAN pace legend Glenn McGrath says Dale Steyn is destined for greatness, declaring the Proteas spearhead will take 500 Test wickets and usurp Allan Donald as South Africa's most iconic bowler.
Steyn is on the cusp of another milestone in the first Test at the Gabba, with the veteran of 287 Test wickets needing just five more scalps to surpass Aussie pace great Craig McDermott, who claimed 291 victims at 28.63.
By the conclusion of the three-Test series, Steyn is almost certain to surge past the 300-wicket mark, a scenario that would see the Proteas spearhead join Shaun Pollock (421), Makhaya Ntini (390) and Donald (330) in South Africa's elite 300-club.
But Donald says it is only a matter of time before Steyn shatters South Africa's bowling records and McGrath believes the 29-year-old has the time, hunger and strength of body to enter one of cricket's most decorated groups - fast-bowling's 500-club.
McGrath (563) and Windies great Courtney Walsh (519) are the only members thus far, but the former Australian spearhead says Steyn is on track to go where no South African bowler has before.
"I think Dale can definitely take 500 Test wickets," said McGrath, who averaged a world-class 21.64 from 124 Tests.
"If there is any bowler right now in world cricket who can achieve that feat, Steyn has the potential to do it if he plays long enough."
"Steyn has been a great bowler for a long time and I really admire the way he cranks it up and can swing the ball at pace.
"I have so much respect for Allan Donald, to watch him take 330 wickets with that beautiful action he had, he is regarded as South Africa's legendary fast bowler ... but it is only a matter of time before Dale goes past him.
"The only thing that will stop Steyn is injury but he seems strong, he doesn't have too many injury worries, so if and when he goes past Allan it will be thoroughly deserved."
Statistically, Steyn is on course to crack the 500-mark.
The robust quick has taken 58 Tests to reach 287 wickets, meaning he averages 4.95 wickets per Test.
If he maintains his strike-rate, Steyn will join McGrath and Walsh in his 102nd Test, a target more than achieveable given his good record with injury and the fact he could bowl at Test level for another five or six seasons.
Donald, now the Proteas' bowling coach, has no doubt the ultra-competitive Steyn will become the first South African to claim 500 Test scalps if managed wisely.
"He will go past me for sure," said Donald, famously known as White Lightning for the blistering pace that netted him 330 Test wickets at 22.25.
"He will break records, no question. He will take 500 wickets the way he is going and that would be a remarkable achievement, he is taking wickets at a fair clip.
"I think it's important we look after him, the guys spend a lot of time on the road, there are a lot of events these days with the IPL, the World Cups and Twenty20 games so we need to manage him well.
"If it means we rest him more from one day cricket and Twenty20 cricket to be ready for Test matches, so be it."
West Indies pace icon Michael Holding believes Steyn is the only bona fide fast-bowler in world cricket today.
"You have to be born a fast bowler," Holding said.
"There's only one (genuine fast bowler) right now - Dale Steyn.
"He is the only fast bowler in the world playing Test match cricket right now and that's impressive.
"When I say fast bowlers, I am not talking about people who bowl 80 miles an hour. Those are not fast bowlers.
"I am talking about people pushing 90 miles an hour."You've got to have the rhythm and the co-ordination and everything else that it takes to bowl that fast.
"Strength, hard work and practice alone cannot make a fast bowler. It's not just physical, it's a lot of other things combined and Dale Steyn has it all."

I bought couple of chairs for living room but those chairs are too tall. Can u cut chairs legs? if u do what will be the cost for that? If u let me know the would be great for me.
Hopefully the chair legs are straight, in other words not ending with a claw foot for example. If so, any professional carpenter or cabinet shop should be able to cut down the chairs for about $50 each.

Domhnall II , Earl of Mar
b.abt 1302 Saline, Fife, Scotland
d.11 Aug 1332 Perthshire, Scotland
Family tree▼
m. 1292
Facts and Events
Domhnall (or Donald) II of Mar (c. 1302 in Saline, Fife – 11 August 1332) was Regent of Scotland for just over a week during the minority of David II.
His father was Gartnait, Earl of Mar, and his mother was Christina Bruce, sister of Robert I of Scotland.
It appears likely that he fought on the side of Edward II of England at the Battle of Boroughbridge in March 1322, as it is recorded that afterwards the Earl of Mar took Bartholomew de Badlesmere, who was one of Edward's captured opponents, to Canterbury.
In 1332 the regent of Scotland, Thomas Randolph, 1st Earl of Moray, died. On 2 August Domhnall was elected as the new regent at a meeting of the Scottish nobles at Perth.
Following the invasion of Edward Balliol, with the support of Edward III of England, Mar led the Scots loyalists to confront them. He was defeated and killed at the Battle of Dupplin Moor, only nine days after his election as regent.
Through his marriage to Isabella Stewart they had a son Thomas, and a single daughter, Margaret, who succeeded her brother and became in her turn Countess of Mar.

I am currently running this effort on my laptop (WAMPsever) and I have successfully install many of the modules and widgets that I need. But I am not sure what would be the correct module for posting a list of either audio or video files for the end user to download.
I plan to post a list of church services (both audio and video) for download. What is the best way to setup such a page in SS? What module do I use? Thanks.

Cramer: Making Sense of the Bank Surge
The banks have gotten into inexplicable territory the last few weeks. There's no doubt in my mind that most of the numbers for most of the banks are now too high, given the sudden decline in mortgages and refinancing vs. any pick-up in construction loans, or any other loans, for that matter.
Plus, these behemoths typically can't cut the rolls of employees fast enough to make up for the losses in the mortgage business. They can't make it up in servicing either, although Wells Fargo (WFC) has a mighty servicing business. It's one the bank could never have been allowed to have if it hadn't taken advantage of the chaos in the U.S. financial world five years ago....537 more words left in this article.

Kelly Clarkson's Boyfriend Helped Her Lose Weight
Tue, 29 May 2012 10:41:17
Kelly Clarkson Photos
Kelly Clarkson Videos
Kelly Clarkson has beaten the battle of the bulge. She dropped several pounds and looks terrific.
The singer is chalking the motivation up to the fact that she is dating Brandon Blackstock, the stepson of Reba McEntire, saying, "I have a boyfriend, and if I'm being completely honest, no-one likes to be not toned when you are dating someone. I'm eating better and working out, but I've always fluctuated within 20 pounds. My whole life I've been like that."
She finished, "I tone whenever I want, and I chose to now because my boyfriend and I are both really into it. But we don't work out together. We did that once and I didn't like huffing and puffing. I didn't like looking all red and gross, so I don't do that."
She is so cute.
What is your favorite Kelly Clarkson song?

This information on ingredients in dry cat food was written by my wife, Brenda Nelson. She has studied cat nutrition. It should help cat owners to decide what cat food to feed their pet cats.

Information on Dry Cat Food
Cats are true carnivores. They require good quality meat in their food. Sadly most commercially available cat foods use a lot of filler. As a result the cat must eat more food to get at the nutrition. These lower quality foods also use FAT to give the pets a glossy coat. Many owners feel a glossy coat = a healthy pet = good food. In combination with the lower quality of the food, and the addictiveness of fat, the cat must eat a lot more food, thereby eating a lot more fat and carbohydrates, contributing to obesity and feline diabetes.
As cat food brands vary from country to country and each brand may change its' formula from time to time I will not get into brand names. I will refer to the more common ingredients and discuss why they are good or bad. You can then determine if your cat is on a good, or poor, quality food.
The first five ingredients are the ones you want to pay most attention to. If the top ingredient is a good meat source, but the remaining four are all cheap filler, your food may not the best.
If the food indicates that it is Human Grade, that is even better, as it indicates the ingredients were fit for human consumption. If it does not say human grade then it can even be meat from animals who were euthanized, and other questionable ingredients.
Bad Ingredients in Dry Cat Food
Meat Meal, Animal Fat,. Etc
Any unspecified meat is mystery meat. It can come from ANY animal that died and was rendered that day. In the past there have been pet foods found with dog or cat in it. When you feed mystery meat, you can contribute to pet allergies as the food will not be consistent from bag to bad. It is best to stick with a consistent meat source.
Corn and Corn Gluten Meal – BAD if in any of the top 3 positions.
A filler really, corn is of no nutritional value and can sometimes cause allergies. Corn is a carbohydrate, and should never be higher than fourth on your cats food ingredient list. Carbohydrates will make your cat fat! Corn gluten meal is actually a waste by-product, even worse than corn.
Chicken By-Products, and by-Products in General
Cheap filler of low digestibility. By-Products are waste left over by the rendering process. Beaks, feet, undeveloped eggs, intestines and even feathers. Not exactly yummy. But even worse is that by-products are preserved with a nasty chemical pesticide known as Ethoxyquin (see below).
A preservative. It is a chemical pesticide considered so bad it is banned from use in some countries. It may be used on its own or hidden in the by-Product and as such is considered part of the by-product so may or may not appear listed on the ingredient list. Has been linked to health problems.
BHA and BHT
Cheap chemical preservatives, used in lower quality pet foods. Both have been linked to numerous health problems.
Flavors and Colors
Color dyes serve no purpose other than to make the people buy the food. The cat does not care if the pieces are different colors, in fact cats are colorblind for red. The chemicals used to make flavors and dyes have been linked to health and behavior problems.
Good Cat Food Ingredients
Chicken Meal, Lamb Meal, Turkey Meal, etc
Any meat marked with "MEAL" following it is a good source of actual meat. One of these MUST be the first ingredient listed on your bag. Chicken, Turkey and Lamb, being the gentlest on a cats tummy and the least likely to cause allergies. Fish Meal, such as salmon or tuna, should never be the first ingredient, as fish is high in calcium it may contribute to urinary tract problems.
Tocopherols (Vitamin E)
This is a more expensive preservative. It is natural, safe, and will preserve a food up to 12 months.
Rice – acceptable, with explanation
Rice is a filler, Brown Rice being exceptionally better than Brewers Rice. Rice Flour also being low in value for nutritional purposes. Brewers rice is a cheap filler and should be avoided.
You wont find this in the top spots, it is a lesser ingredient used primarily to help control odor in the litter box. Also believed to help with arthritis.
Other Information on Cat Food
There are certainly more ingredients than listed, but these are important ones to watch for. Better food is more expensive because of the use of quality ingredients, BUT as a result your pet wont need to eat as much, have fewer health problems, and best of all, have less mess in the litter box.
Every food markets itself as the BEST! I caution you not to take the advice from any one who sells a particular kind of food (and only one food) they are making money by promoting that food and will only tell you good things. This even includes veterinarians. They are paid to sell certain foods. I do not want to discredit veterinarians knowledge when it comes to helping sick or injured animals but typically they receive little or no training on food brands or ingredients except from food companies who directly approach them to sell their kind of food.
Cats should have access to their dry food all the time, and should have canned food when they are kittens. Canned cat food should be given 1 teaspoon per feeding, ideally mixed with water to make a soup, which helps prevent urinary tract problems. Adult cats may have this mixture once a day. With canned food you will want to avoid the "chunks in gravy" because the gravy is carbohydrates and will contribute to problems you do not want.
Price does not determine quality. Some food companies inflate their price so you think its better food, others have their prices higher because of paying for veterinarian endorsement. Food made in your own country may be less costly than a product made elsewhere.
Finally cats should never be forced to eat a vegetarian diet, it will not contain the taurine or other nutrition they need.

My point is that I have read here and in other forums that the .357 Sig is a better more consistent penetrater of auto bodies and auto glass than other service calibers. I've seen no evidence that this is true. I have seen that various loads of 9mm, .38 Super, 40 and 45 acp can all penetrate auto and truck bodies and glass just fine. The links above show that as well
Most of the tests I have seen compare the .357sig to the 9mm and not to the .45acp since they are the same size bullet. Every test I have seen or done support the idea that it outperforms the 9mm pretty handily. I would not call it more powerful than the .45acp but you can get more rounds in a similar platform and it performs well enough to make it worth it. I have seen some test that do seem to indicate that it is an extremely good penetrator of metal objects though...even better than .45acp rounds.

What is Kolchak fighting for? What does he want? For the sake what is he mobilising the Siberian peasants? For what is he forcing them to shed their blood?
At first, Kolchak said that he did not want to let Russia be execrated by the Germans. He called for the Soviet power to be overthrown so that the war against Germany might be con nued. But what do we see now? At the same time as Kolchak is attacking Soviet Russia from the East, Hindenburg, in the West, having assembled the White-Guard remnants of the former German army, is trying to advance on Vilna and Riga. What Kolchak said about a struggle against the Germans was therefore a lie. In his war against Soviet Russia Kolchak is now acting in concert with the most devoted general of the former German Kaiser.
Kolchak explained that his task was to unite Russia. But what do we actually see? Russia, beaten in the imperialist war and torn in pieces by vultures, is now being united to an ever greater extent by the Soviet power. Today Russia is one from Petrograd to Odessa, and from Orenburg to Riga. Great Russia, the Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania and Byelorussia have voluntar ily united under the banner of Soviet power. Kolchak rules only over a part of the Urals and Siberia. In order to unite Russia in accordance with his plan, Kolchak would now have to conquer the Volga, Petrograd, Moscow, Kiev and Kharkov, Lithuania and Riga – in other words, the whole of Russia. Kolchak wants to unite Great Russia, the Ukraine, Latvia, Byelorussia and Lithuania with the Urals and Siberia. But it would be very much simpler to unite Siberia with all Russia: and, to do that, all that is needed is to get rid of Kolchak himself.
Kolchak says, further, that he wants to free Russia from the Jews, whom he calls the Yids. But that is not true. Kolchak is closely allied with the American bourgeoisie. It would be more correct to say that Kolchak is the hireling of the American bourgeoisie. Before starting his campaign, Kolchak went to New York and Washington. There he received promises of support: from there he was sent money and war materials. But the American bourgeoisie is the most racially-diverse bourgeoisie in the world. Among the American capitalists there are Anglo-Americans, Germans and Jews. Nowhere are there such rich Jewish capitalists, bankers and usurers as in America. Over there they shamelessly exploit and oppress the American workers – Anglo-American, German and Jewish alike. On the American stock exchange, in the American banking world, in American war industry, in the American press, Jews, in the capacity of capitalists, bankers, lawyers and bourgeois journalists, play an immense role. There can be no doubt that of every 100 roubles that Kolchak gets from America, not less than 25 are Jewish, that is, they have been plundered by the Jewish bourgeoisie from the American workers and handed over to Kolchak for his fight against the Russian workers and peasants.
When, last autumn, the Red regiments entered Kazan, Simbirsk, Syzran and Saniara, the bourgeoisie left their homes, but the workers and the poor stayed put. Where did the bourgeoisie flee to? They fled to Kolchak's kingdom. Russian merchants and nobles, Jewish merchants, rich Tatars, all as one ran off to seek Kolchak's protection. All the workers, without distinction of nationality received the Red soldiers as liberators. That is how matters really stand ...
Thus, Kolchak lied when he said he was fighting against the Soviet power so as to begin war with Germany: in fact, Kolchak is at one with the German bourgeoisie.
Kolchak lied when he said that he wants to unite Russia: Russia has already been united against Kolchak, and Kolchak is trying to divide her. Finally, Kolchak lied and is lying when he says that he wants to free Russia from the Jews: Kolchak is shooting down Russian workers and peasants along with Jewish workers, in order to establish in Russia the power of the international bourgeoisie, including the Jewish bourgeoisie.
But Kolchak cannot admit frankly that this is his aim. He is forced to lie and to deceive. He keeps putting forward ever new reasons for his war, throwing dust in the eyes of the ignorant workers and peasants of Siberia, deluding them and selling them to the American, German, British, French and Jewish bourgeoisie.
For a long time Kolchak declared that he was fighting for the rights of the Constituent Assembly. The capitalists and land lords cunningly connived with him in this, although they knew well what he was really up to. Blockheads (Mensheviks and SRs) believed him and supported him. When the SRs had helped Kolchak to form an army, he chased them away, so that they would not get under his feet, and no trace remained of the Constituent Assembly! Kolchak now talks openly of bringing back the Tsar's throne, though he does not say which dynasty is to reign over us – the Romanovs or the Kolchaks.
The bourgeoisie would be overjoyed to see the crown on Kolchak's head. The Orthodox priest, the Catholic priest, the Tatar mullah, the Jewish rabbi would all equally bless Kolchak as Tsar, just as previously they blessed the Romanovs. Kolchak's victory would mean restoration of the rule of a tiny minority over the immense majority of the working people. The Tsarist generals and landlords would recover their ranks, titles and privileges. The nobles would again gather in a greedy throng around the imperial court. The capitalists would coin golden profits from the workers' blood. The land-captains, the gendarmes, the policemen would protect the sacred property of the landlord, and the priests, supporting the police, would again be enabled to delude the people. And at the whim of the ruling gang the Russian workers and peasants would again be drawn into another imperialist war.
That is what Kolchak wants. That is the reason why he is waging a war against the Soviet power, conscripting the workers and peasants of the Urals and Siberia and shedding their blood.
Kolchak is now the leader of all the oppressors, exploiters and vultures, of all who hate the working class. On Kolchak's banner is inscribed – death to the working masses of Russia. If Kolchak were to win, he would drown in blood hundreds of the best workers and peasants, taking vengeance on them for the 'humiliations' they inflicted on the rich classes.
Kolchak has gathered everything that is sinister and dishonest around himself. On one side of the Urals stands Kolchak, on the other stands Workers' and Peasants' Russia. The bourgeois hireling Kolchak has thrown down a challenge to all Russia. Workers' and Peasants' Russia has taken up that challenge. It knows that its salvation lies in destroying Kolchak. The Urals range has now become the principal barricade of Workers' and Peasants' Russia. We must capture this barricade, at any cost.
Soldiers of the Red Army! To the Urals barricades! Forward!

text: Reappraising Color Pantone's declaration of emerald green as the color for 2013 has me thinking about color's importance all over again. 07.01.2013 by Felice Silverman, IIDA * required fields From* To* Message cancel Interior and fashion design certainly follow the same trends. When Pantone announced that emerald green was to be the color of 2013, it suddenly appeared everywhere: as highlights or dominant elements in interior environments, on the street and in the couturier houses of the fashion world. In response to the trend, people who would never have otherwise worn the color (like me) suddenly began experimenting with accents in their outfits: a scarf, a tie, jewelry. Others embraced it with passion, as if they had been earnestly waiting for someone to say it was okay. The relative return of color to the designer's palette has been, for me, one of the more provocative and stimulating turns in recent years. As exhilarating as it can be working with the whites, blacks and neutral tones that had been prevalent for some time, feeling the freedom to reach for a bold splash of color is a refreshing upset to any sense of complacency that may have invaded our practice. It adds a dimension of emotional resonance and response like nothing else can. Whether used sparingly or with great enthusiasm, color has a power in interior design akin to the influence it wields in fashion. Form, color, pattern, texture and scale—all important factors in the design of a space—are equally important to fashion. A color will set the mood of a space and communicate the mood of the person wearing it. Just as scale and pattern can affect the perception of how slimming (or otherwise) an outfit looks, they affect our perceptions of how big or small a space feels. Of course, one of the reasons that white has always been such a popular color for design spaces is the sense of freedom and openness that it communicates. It creates the perception that a space offers room to breathe and abundant flow—especially when white is used dominantly throughout. Color can invade that wide-open feeling and even threaten to dispel it. That makes it a risk. But risk implies excitement, and that's precisely why Pantone's choice of emerald green as the color of 2013 feels so daring. Not only is the color itself one that arguably has been underused for a while, it's also a rich color with a rich history that implies everything from Ireland to The Wizard of Oz. It inspires, creates flights of fancy and stimulates the imagination. And since its re-introduction this year, its presence has been noted in interior environments, paints and fabrics, and in dramatic design statements. Does this sudden turn to emerald green indicate a total sea change in design thinking? Maybe not, but it does initiate a spark in my thinking with regard to the parallels between the disciplines of interior design and fashion. Fashion is an extension of the cross-disciplinary approach to design that those of us in the profession can readily identify with. We tend to think of interdisciplinary design as the intersection of interior design, architecture, graphic design and landscape design. But fashion design shares the same principles, and as I've suggested above, can easily inform interior design in the same way. Because of these parallels, it's encouraging to me that schools like Radford University offer both programs, giving students the ability to benefit from the design approach of each. They're complementary in nature, and to my thinking, their juxtaposition invites some provocative questions for which there must be answers. For example, I'd love to see a study that analyzes the clothes that people choose to wear and the spaces they live in, to see what correlations exist. Does a person who wears straight lines, color block or solid colors want to live in a modern or contemporary home? Correspondingly, does a person who lives in a highly ornamented home, with eclectic collections of patterns and colors tend to have a wardrobe that reflects varied patterns, color and style? Are there comparisons to be made between the color choices in the home and what's reflected in the closet? These are the sorts of questions that a color's return to the spotlight can prompt. They cut to the marrow of issues like identity and expression, and most importantly for us in the profession, how central design is to our everyday living. Design is life, and color is one element that affords it the vibrancy that makes it worth the struggle. As such, I've been ecstatic to see the return of emerald green, reappearing like an old and trusted friend. And I'm already eagerly anticipating the dynamic shifts that the color of 2014 will bring.

Cheney suggests he had less clout in 2nd term
Former Vice President Dick Cheney concedes his influence may have waned during former President George W. Bush's second term.
"Perhaps my clout was diminished; that's possible. I wouldn't quarrel about that," Cheney said in an interview broadcast on "Fox News Sunday." "I didn't measure my success in term of what I recommended, in terms of how many debates I won with respect to policy."
During the second term, Cheney said, the Bush administration lost focus on the threat of nuclear weapons falling into the hands of terrorists and regimes hostile to the U.S., such as Iran.
But despite prodding by Fox host Chris Wallace, Cheney refused to speculate on why Bush dismissed his advice on issues like attacking a suspected Syrian nuclear site. Instead, the president seemed to rely more on suggestions from then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and other officials.
"I believe that we were not as effective in the second term dealing with this issue of nuclear proliferation as we had been during the first term," Cheney said. "In terms of trying to interpret why others did what they did, I cant be in that business. They've got to speak for themselves."
Cheney is on a media tour to promote his new book, "In My Time." And he recently sat down with POLITICO as part of that tour.

Konocti Harbor can be Northern California's baby-boomer pop hell -- when it's not the area's best-kept secret
Hello, California!' Terri Clark calls to 5,000 people settling in an amphitheater overlooking pristine blue Clear Lake, preparing for an evening of country music. You may not know her, but Clark has been to the top of the charts. Her first self-titled CD -- released in 1995 -- launched three Top 10 country hits. She's had more since.
But Clark's October tour of California consisted of exactly two dates. The first was Hanford, population 38,900, where she played the Fox Theater, a mecca of sorts for country artists. The second date was this night in Kelseyville, population 9,100, at the Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa, owned by San Francisco's Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry Local 38. Clark is opening for LeAnn Rimes, the 17-year-old star with the big voice, the platinum sales, and the country music machinery behind her. Rimes' devoted fans, many of them preteens running around in packs with distant supervision from their parents, can choose among three teddy bears -- $20, $23, and $25 -- all of which are wearing LeAnn tees. As she hits the stage, Rimes is three weeks away from her fifth release, expected to sail up the charts in little more than the four hours or so it takes to wind up the highway to Konocti from San Francisco.
Konocti Harbor is unlike any other music venue in Northern California. It's a place where young country thrives and where graying rockers have found a green, green pasture. This year's shows have featured Lynyrd Skynyrd and Styx, James Brown, Clint Black, Pat Benatar, Ringo Starr, and Eddie Money. In 1999, Money needs seven tickets to paradise. He tows at least a few of his five kids to Konocti, and they enjoy the lake, the miniature golf course, and other attractions of the '50s-era spread set beneath a towering dormant volcano. Money, a one-time Berkeley resident who shot to fame in the '70s after catching the attention of Bill Graham, has been playing Konocti for 10 years, and says the adoring crowds allow him to flex his muscles. Unlike most shows, where he says he sticks strictly to winners like 'Baby Hold On' and 'Take Me Home Tonight,' at Konocti the 50-year-old rocker plans to play four tunes from his new album.
'I do that special for them,' he says. 'We have a very steady crowd. We see a lot of the same fans. It's really great. It's kind of like Eddie Money Weekend.'
Many weekends are like Eddie Money Weekend at Konocti; resort president and general manager Greg Bennett acknowledges he's going after the 'baby boomer market.' To say that Bennett has hit his target would be an understatement. Nine years ago, when he booked Leon Russell for Konocti's first concert, the showroom held 300 people. Two rounds of expansion have since increased its capacity to 1,000, and a couple of years ago the resort also opened the 5,000-seat amphitheater, a few minutes' walk or van ride from the nondescript, shoe-box-shaped buildings offering guests multiroom apartments with lakefront views and private hot tubs.
Bennett says performers 'are used to a hard road. They hop on a bus after their gig, get to the next show.' But not at Konocti. When Brooks & Dunn brought their 90-person entourage, Bennett says the resort put a bunch of them on Wave Runners and they stayed around for four days. Brooks & Dunn are also used to playing to tens of thousands. 'How many amphitheaters do Brooks & Dunn or Tim McGraw play?' asks Bennett, with a hint of pride. 'It's almost unheard of.'
Steve Hauser, a senior agent at the William Morris Agency in Nashville, says Konocti is a favorite destination for the 30-some acts he books there a year, including Clark, Vince Gill, and Brooks & Dunn. 'It's just different,' he says. 'Fans are on vacation. They're there to party and have a good time.' Hauser says a Hanford-to-Kelseyville run like Clark's is not uncommon. Next stop, Medford or Portland, Oregon. 'Greg Bennett's aggressive at buying the talent, and he pays pretty well,' says Hauser. 'We don't have to worry about the date canceling, so it's a good offer.' Bay Area venues, with the exception of Santa Rosa's Luther Burbank Center or the Concord Pavilion, are generally not on the radar.
Bennett has seen country start to eat up his target demographic. 'No question about it,' he says. 'Country is getting stronger and stronger in the music industry. And pretty much except for that exclusive group of five or six -- at the George Strait level -- everybody has played here.'
Not every night is a big one. The New Year's Eve lineup features several low-flying acts from different genres, such as the Bay Area Big Band and the Jukebox Heroes. The morning before the LeAnn Rimes show is also the night after Robert Palmer. My breakfast at the Classic Rock Cafe is served on a laminated copy of Supertramp's Breakfast in America.
When I saw Palmer's audience from my $39 seats in the front row of the balcony, I realized it was just as well he wasn't hawking teddy bears. This crowd was there when Palmer first hit it big, in the Pliocene era of music videos with 'Addicted to Love,' if not further back to the Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley days of the mid-'70s. If they have kids, they're back at the room.
At show time, the MC strolls across the stage, where a state-of-the-art lighting system offers a sparkly, Disney-esque imitation of a starry night, and welcomes everybody to a showroom 'rated the Number 1 in America by Performance Magazine.' He announces the presence of VIPs -- including the owner of nearby Lakeport Furniture and 'The Con Man,' a syndicated country radio jock from Denver.
Palmer prowls the stage in a sharp black suit, handling the crowd with an absolute minimum of intimacy and sincerity. From the get-go the sound of Palmer's success -- a unique alloy of relentless, bottom-heavy rhythms and robotic, keening guitar and synth - is clearly intact. Though he's 50, Palmer's robust voice is as assured as ever. About halfway into a 100-minute set, he begins to roll out the hits, and the first major outbreak of dancing occurs. 'Every Kinda People,' 'Simply Irresistible,' 'Bad Case of Loving You,' and, inevitably, 'Addicted to Love.'
Palmer hasn't flashed a sexy dance move or a nimble leg kick; he's had no audience interaction to speak of. But the women are dancing all over the room, risking their lives as they do the swim at the edge of the balcony. The crowd is roaring. Palmer looks like a spry Al Gore, but, then again, he didn't mean to turn you on.
The Sunday show is the last outdoor concert of the summer season. Tip-off time is 6:30. An oversized football bleacher towers over 25 rows of folding chairs lined up in front of the stage, a slender finger of Clear Lake and the oak-studded hills beyond. Teens with Terri Clark shirts or handmade 'I [Heart] You, LeAnn' signs are everywhere. Teddy bears are moving fast.
Clark, slender and dressed in black from hat to boots to hollowbody guitar, has a clear and powerful voice with just a hint of country. Her songs are typical, if solid, modern country fare: winsome, ironic, independent. She cavalierly strums her acoustic guitar and takes a dig at the industry. 'Nowadays people are putting steel guitar on pop songs and calling them country, so I thought I'd do the same,' she says by way of introduction to one number. She also reminisces about her massage at the spa earlier in the day. Well before her finale -- a medley of her hit 'When Boy Meets Girl' and her popular remake of Warren Zevon's 'Poor Poor Pitiful Me' -- Clark pauses between tunes. Fireflies are buzzing the stage, forcing her to start and stop. 'If I can keep from swallowing a bug,' she says, 'I'll be fine.'
Clark's ease is in contrast to Rimes, whose set is even more heavily choreographed than Palmer's. Rimes races through three costume changes, posing every now and then atop one of the black risers where members of the band are stationed. Her patter is pretty much limited to thanking fans for making one tune or another an all-time record-breaker on the Billboard charts. Occasionally, she stretches out a hand for a audience member or interrupts her routine to answer a fan's shriek: 'I love you too, sweetie,' she says.
But Rimes' voice has awesome grace and power. Lots of people sing along, quietly and off key, when she stills herself for her mega-hit 'Blue.' She also does several country classics, many of which are on her new CD, Cryin' Time: Hank Williams' 'Lovesick Blues,' and a startling version of Patsy Cline's evergreen 'Crazy.' Rimes lingers over the last syllables of each line, breathing all the desolate, desperate romance of the tune to life, and without the saccharine strings that weigh down the radio version. Bridging the generations, she has apparently out-Patsy'd Patsy, and she's not even old enough to buy a cocktail in a plastic cup from the vendor at the side of the stage.

ARGUS racing pundit Melissa Jones gives you a pinstickers' guide to the 2014 Crabbie's Grand National.
1) Tidal Bay
Went down fighting in the Welsh National and has disposed of his playboy ways, which blighted his early career. Tough and a strong stayer, but he's no spring chicken and this could be one race too many for the 13-year-old
2) Long Run
2011 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner who has fallen from grace. Still has plenty of ability however and gained a confidence boosting win last time, but prone to the odd blunder and jockey might find it tricky staying in the saddle over the fearsome fences
3) Hunt Ball
Was a lowly rated chaser before taking all before him a few years ago, then was sent to race in America for new owners. Back on home shores he should find this too hot a test and fade when the pace hots up
4) Triolo D'Alene
Won the Topham over nearly two miles shorter at this meeting last year and the Hennessy Gold Cup. Unlikely to last out but could get round
5) Rocky Creek
Useful on his day though has not reached the heights one thought he may have over fences. Won't lack stamina, however a touch too far up the handicap for my liking
6) Quito De La Roque
Likes Aintree, won the Grade two Mildmay novices chase here in 2011. Capable of raising a few eyebrows granted a clear round
7) Colbert Station
Out of sorts and this unusual test needs to spark a big revival
8) Walkon
Everyone loves a grey horse so this one could be the pick for the pound each way punter. Could finish in the first half dozen if his mind's up to it
9) Balthazar King
Has a love affair with Cheltenham's Cross Country Course and was given a poor ride when coming 15th in this last year. If he isn't asked to do much too soon, could be in the mix
10) Wayward Prince
Never truly fulfilled his potential, always looked a horse that would be suited by a marathon. Big outsider
11) Mr Moonshine
In cracking form of late and should be up with the pace early on, for last year's winning trainer/ jockey combination
12) Teaforthree
Ante-post favourite, third last year and looks solid. Been brought to the boil for this race and should be right in contention with several fences to go
13) Across the Bay
Bold front running type who should give supporters a brave run; realistically not good enough
14) Double Seven
Ran up a bit of a sequence last year and the choice of the champion A P McCoy. Risen up the weights and probably too high now. Needs decent ground
15) Battle Group
Quirky warrior who won twice at this meeting last year. If taking to this has the ability to finish in the first 8. Another who would not want to see too much rain around
16) Buckers Bridge
Won a 3 mile point, since campaigned over shorter. The trip is unknown but could go well for a long way, if inexperience doesn't find him out
17) Lion Na Bearnai
Won his fair share of prize money but unlikely to be adding to that here. Doesn't seem to travel well away from his native Ireland, disappointed in the UK so far
18) Prince de Beauchene
Won over 3m 1f taking the conventional fences in 2011 so likes the place. Ability in spades and can see him reaching the frame
19) Monbeg Dude
Been schooled by Zara Phillips who is married to Mike Tindall, one of the horse's owners. Would be a fairytale if he could win and shouldn't be too far away with stamina assured
20) Big Shu
Trained for this all year, better off with Balthazar King than when they met over the Cross Country course at Cheltenham. Stays, jumps and travels - just what you need in a race of this nature. The Argus selection.
21) Burton Port
Out of sorts before an improved effort in second last time out. Looked the winner for a long way there and if going with the same zest, he'll be on the premises
22) Our Father
Formerly useful but looks a shadow of his former self. Seems to be running here to keep the numbers up. However stable in great form
23) Mountainous
Brave winner of the 2013 Welsh National. Thorough stayer, could do win rain to soften up the ground. Good jumper and excellent jockey on board
24) The Rainbow Hunter
Consistent, one paced. Could finish but in his own time
25) Vintage Star
Unconvincing in the Welsh National despite running well. May not be able to go the pace early on. His colours are familiar around here. Coming into this race after a fall is not ideal
26) Chance du Roy
Loves these fences and there are worse 33-1 shots
27) Hawkes Point
Second in the 2013 Welsh National and open to improvement. However not had many runs and stable form a slight concern
28) Kruzhlinin
29) Pineau de Re
Shrewd trainer and surprisingly short in the market. Ran well at Cheltenham: might have taken the edge off him
30) Golan Way
Jumps for fun but would have been better contesting the hunter chase. A bold jumper and brave
31) Twirling Magnet
Decent ground fan, travels well, limited stamina. Likely to be pulled up
32) Vesper Bell
Out of form, inconsistent
33) The Package
Could creep into contention on the second circuit. This race looks like it has been the aim. Capable jockey, lightly raced. Chance
34) Raz de Maree
Not good enough, visored first time
35) Rose of the Moon
Jumped well enough when running here earlier in the year. Shapes as if longer trip may suit if a little slow.
36) Shakalakaboomboom
Needs to return to his old self but likes the course. Wouldn't want the heavens to open
37) Alvarado
These colours have done well over the years and Paul Moloney knows how to hunt one round Aintree. Expect him to creep round at the back, work his way into contention and motor home. Strong each-way chance
38) Last Time d'Albain
Third over these fences last year over shorter and could take to it again at a price. Not completely out of it
39) One in a Milan
Won't have the pace to keep up on the first circuit even with a first time visor
40) Swing Bill
Tremendous old servant who is a standing dish around here. Hopefully will have a nice retirement after this run, will run his usual honest race
VERDICT: 1) Big Shu 2) Alvarado 3) Teaforthree 4) Prince de Beauchene 5) Last time D'albain
Good luck!

As every parent knows there are times when your toddler will become aggressive. For toddler's, this aggressive behavior is normal. They are learning to become independent and have an undeveloped impulse control. "Some degree of hitting and biting is completely normal for a toddler," says Nadine Block, executive director of the Center for Effective Discipline in Columbus, Ohio.
Toddlers usually do not understand that their behavior has hurt someone. They may feel ashamed because they know they disappointed you not because of their actions. Toddlers often do not know their own strength. She may not have meant to push the other child down, just tell him to back off.
But just because the behavior is normal parents still need to curb aggressive behavior, set limits, and discipline after occurrences. Read on for ten ways you can help prevent aggression in your toddler.
1. Stay calm. When you see your child exhibiting aggressive behavior, stay calm yourself. Remove your child from the situation. Comfort the child who has been hurt first. Then talk to the child who was the aggressor. Talk to them about what they have done and explain that their behavior was inappropriate. Most toddlers do not feel empathy so don't ask things like, "How would you feel if Tommy hit you?" or "How do you think Tommy feels?"
2. Learn what triggers the aggressive behavior. Many children become more aggressive when they are tired, hungry, or experienced a disruption in their routine. Maybe they don't get along with a certain child. When I was doing daycare my son frequently bit another little boy just a few months younger than him. Yet he never bit the two older boys that I also watched. I soon realized that they younger boy was taking my son's things and my son was reacting accordingly. If you know what triggers your child intervene before the aggression happens.
3. Be a good example. Children always watch and often imitate the behavior they see in their parents. Make sure that you are reacting appropriately when you are upset. When your child misbehaves don't react aggressively to him. When my children are fighting I will separate them. Then explain calmly why they cannot act the way they were acting.
4. Set clear limits. Let your children know what behavior is inappropriate. Talk about how you want your child to act. Before attending play dates or other activities talk about appropriate behavior.
5. Discipline consistently. If you don't allow hitting you must discipline your child every time they hit. This doesn't always mean time out or other form of discipline. But you need to acknowledge that hitting is wrong and talk to your child about it.
6. Use logical consequences. If your child throws a ball at a child a normal consequence is too take the ball away for a time. Explain that if the ball isn't used right then she won't be allowed to play.
7. Reward good behavior. If your child doesn't react aggressively praise them for controlling themselves. Praise positive behaviors like sharing and using words instead of actions to express anger.
8. Limit media violence. Children are affected by the violence that they see on television, movies, and video games. Limit the amount of media violence that your child views. They do not understand the difference between the media and real life.
9. Teach alternatives. Provide your child with strategies that they can use instead of aggressive behavior. I often told my children when toddlers, "Use your words." This reminded them that they could say what the problem was instead of hitting. They learned that talking was more effective than hitting.
10. Provide an outlet. Many children have an abundance of energy. If your child is one that does make sure that he has the space and time to release that energy. Pent up energy often releases itself in the form of aggression whether intentional or unintentional.
If you find that your child continues to exhibit aggressive behavior out of your control and your efforts do not seem to make a difference don't be afraid to ask for help. Talk to your child's doctor.

Just a quick photo-of-the-day post. Maybe I should open a Tumblr account. Shot with Olympus E-P3 and Panasonic 20mm lens. GIF from Photoshop. Fun fun fun. :)
This is the view from my window. Yesterday, the sunset was particularly stunning, so I took some snaps. Click on the photos to enlarge.
Sometimes I wish I could take out that building. It's always in the way of the river.
A few minutes later, I noticed stormclouds in the distance. And stormclouds mean lightning. You can get some pretty neat lightning photos with a tripod. Just set the exposure for a few seconds and take lots of photos. Sooner or later, you will get lucky!

The Couple
Yufe met Dreyer, a Londoner, while he was in New York for business. "He was supposed to go home the next day but postponed his flight to take me out!" He proposed while they were on a safari in South Africa.
The Venue
The couple picked Napa County as the location for their destination wedding because they share a love for wine and food.
The Details
Guests traveled from all over the world to attend, including as far as Malawi, Mumbai, Australia and Singapore.
The Party
The couple skipped a formal, sit-down meal. "I didn't want the party to stop and felt that it would be more fun for everyone to just have continuous food, drinks and dancing," says Yufe.

The Budget envisions bringing growth back to 7-8% over the next 3-4 years, encouraging FDI, keeping the CAD at manageable levels and reducing the fiscal deficit to 3% by 2016-17. Oil and gas imports at $164 billion form the single largest component of the CAD. Energy will play a role for the economy to grow at 7-8%. In doing so, domestic energy supply has to play a pivotal role to accelerate growth and bring the huge deficit under control. We welcome the governments vision to increase the usage of PNG and to extend the gas grid in India, effectively doubling the pipeline network by an additional 15,000 km to increase the usage of natural gas.
The viability of the doubling of the gas grid will, however, depend on the health of the E&P sector, the user sectors, and the ability to provide security of supply. Currently, gas only accounts for about 8% of the total primary energy consumption in India against the global average of 24%. To build a gas-based economy, fundamentals need to be reset! Over the last few years, private risk capital in domestic exploration services and infrastructure have considerably declined, leading to reduced activity in the domestic oil and gas sector. This worrying trend can be reversed by providing certainty in this multi-decade long engagementmaintaining sanctity of contracts, fast and enabling decision-making, and following global practices can bring a world of difference in attracting serious investment. Additionally, it is critical to have a line of sight for market fundamentals in terms of freedom to market and price to enable development of already discovered resources of up to 10 trillion cubic feet in India over the next 3-5 years, resulting in imports worth $150 billion being avoided over the life of these fields. Market pricing will also incentivise the much-needed inflow of investments, technologies, services and the development of skills in India to unlock the hydrocarbon potential. Studies have shown that increased revenues to the government alone will take care of the increased subsidy burden to the priority sectors over the next few years. This will ensure the sustainability and efficiency of the sector for producers, importers and consumers. The focus on renewable energy is a move in the right direction and will help bridge the gap through distributed generation to allow greater access to energy in rural areas. Similarly, the spotlight on the infrastructure sector with enabling provisions for fund-raising is a good step.
We welcome the focus on administrative reforms and steps to provide greater certainty on taxes. Broad-basing of tax certainty mechanisms such as roll-back of the APA, advance rulings and Settlement Commission and changes in transfer-pricing laws will go a long way in reducing ambiguity and resultant disputes and litigation. We await clarity through the announced high level committee on retrospective amendments. Extending the investment allowance for the manufacturing sector up to March 2017 and tax holiday for new power plants for 10 years will boost the manufacturing sector in general and the power sector in particular. Further, it was heartening to see that the government intends to take forward major reforms such as DTC and GST.
We now await more policy clarity for the oil and gas sector to usher in the much-needed renaissance in energy for India.

SCOTT JAGOW: Wal-Mart shares got a boost because the company said it's gonna take it easy on the growth next year. Sam Eaton reports.
SAM EATON: Wal-Mart opened 340 new stores last year. But it expects to open just over 300 in the coming fiscal year. Retail analyst Richard Hastings says it's all part of a well-laid plan.
RICHARD HASTINGS: Wal-Mart is not revising its growth story in North America because there's anything wrong with the business. It's just they have to begin to think about a different store format, smaller size, and enter into much more complicated, densely-populated areas.
In other words, urban areas, where land is more expensive and consumers have been flocking to hipper rivals like Target.
Target's growth in sales has outpaced Wal-Mart by a factor of five.
But Hastings says that's all relative when you consider Wal-Mart's scale. The retail giant still adds $200 million in additional sales to its bottom line every month.
