CWCO vs. GWRS: Which Stock Should Value Investors Buy Now?
McCormick & Company Inc. MKC posted solid second-quarter fiscal 2018 results, with earnings and revenues outpacing the Zacks Consensus Estimate, and improving year over year. The quarterly performance gained from the company's effective product strategies leading to growth in the consumer business and flavor solutions segments.
The company's shares are up 2.4% in the pre-market trading session. However, the Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) stock has declined almost 0.4% in the past three months against the industry's growth of 2.3%.
Coming back to results, adjusted earnings of $1.02 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 93 cents. Adjusted earnings were 24% higher year over year, owing to increased adjusted operating income and favorable impacts of currency rates.
Revenues & Profits
In the quarter under review, McCormick, the global leader in flavors and spices, generated revenues of approximately $1,327.3 million, exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,315 million. Revenues grew about 19% from the prior-year quarter, including a favorable 3% impact from currency. Encouragingly, the acquisition of Frank's and French's brand drove sales by 13%. On a constant currency basis, sales grew 16%.
Gross profits in the second quarter surged 29.4% to $575.2 million. Gross margin came at 43.3%, expanding 340 basis points (bps) from the prior- year quarter's figure, primarily gaining from the company's shift to more value-added products, including Frank's and French's portfolio and savings from the CCI program.
Adjusted operating income grew 51.8% to $208 million in the quarter under review. On a constant currency basis, operating income increased 48%.

Segment Details
Consumer Business: Revenues grew 20% to $785.4 million. On a constant currency basis, sales improved almost 16%, primarily driven by growth in the Americas, the EMEA and the Asia/Pacific regions.
Sales in the Americas, on a constant currency basis, was mainly driven by strong pricing actions and favorable impacts of volume/mix. On a constant currency basis, sales in the EMEA region also gained from growth in Frank's and French's, while sales in the Asia/Pacific region were driven by growth in China.
Adjusted operating income in the consumer business segment grew 39.6% at constant currency, buoyed by increased sales, cost savings and favorable mix, which more than offset the negative impact of higher freight and brand marketing expenses.
Flavor Solutions: Sales in the segment grew 18% from the prior-year quarter to $541.9 million. On a constant currency basis, sales increased 15% on improved performance in the Americas and the EMEA regions.
Sales in the Americas on a constant currency basis gained from higher sales of flavors and continued growth momentum in branded foodservice. Sales in the EMEA region were partly driven by Frank's and French's brands. It was also backed by the impact from a global realignment of a major customer's sales from the Americas, partially offset by lower pricing. Sales in the Asia/Pacific region declined, due to the exit of lower margin business and lower pricing.
Adjusted operating income at the flavor solutions segment surged 64% year over year on a constant currency basis, driven by favorable impact of higher sales, product mix and savings initiatives.
Financial Update
McCormick exited the quarter with cash and cash equivalent of $202.6 million, long-term debt of $4,456.2 million and shareholders' equity of $3,040.3 million.
During the quarter, net cash provided by operating activities were $234.9 million, up 32.6% from $177.2 million in the prior-year quarter. The rise stemmed from net income growth.
Fiscal 2018 Guidance
Management is pleased with the company's second-quarter performance with strong results in the company's consumer business and flavor solutions segments. Acquisitions as well as enhanced sales of the company's seasonings and flavor brands aided performance across geographical regions. Moreover, the company is on track with its cost-savings initiatives under its CCI program and plans to achieve a target of $105 million in fiscal 2018.
That said, the company expects sales to grow approximately 13-15% in fiscal 2018 from the previous projection of an increase of 12-14%. The raised view takes into consideration favorable impacts of 2 percentage points from currency fluctuations. Further, management expects sales during the fiscal year to gain from acquisitions, new products, expanded distribution network and brand marketing.
Earnings for fiscal 2018 are expected in the range of $4.85-$4.95, reflecting considerable growth from the previous band of $4.80-$4.90 per share. The revised guidance depicts a growth of 14-16% from the prior-year quarter's adjusted earnings of $4.26. This includes an expected positive impact of nearly one percentage point from currency fluctuations. Favorable currency impacts are projected during the first half of the fiscal. Also, the company anticipates strong cash flow for 2018.

White means pure and good, while Black means dirty and bad. Unfortunately, many are not teaching the historical truth about how they came to be labeled as "Black" even though "Black" is not their actual color and "Black" is not a race or nationality. The same holds true for the "White" label.

One day in the summer of 2004, while I sat in the western Baghdad studio of Radio Dijla, Iraq's first all-talk station, listening to a deputy interior minister being interviewed, a man named Haithem called in. His story sounded garbled and frantic: late at night bandits had forced him off an unlit highway overpass, destroying his car, crushing his chest against the steering wheel, and shattering his leg. After twelve hours, American soldiers found him under the highway and called the Iraqi police, who stole his money and gun before loading him into an ambulance. The next day I went looking for Haithem in a modest neighborhood in eastern Baghdad. He lay sweating in a dark room, a radio and phone by the bed, sunlight burning around the window curtain. There was a towel wrapped around Haithem's waist, and his bandaged knee was held in traction by metal pins and a primitive sack of bricks, sand, and lead weights that hung from a wire over the bed frame. It looked as if torture, not healing, was going on in Haithem's room.
As it happened, the same leg had been fractured by Saddam's secret police in 1992. This latest injury seemed to have broken Haithem's will; he said that he'd attempted suicide by sticking his finger into the power strip on the floor. "I have no manhood right now, I can't feel my manhood. I'm asking you through the spirit of brotherhood to help me find compensation. I'm desperate—I have three children, how can I raise them, what can I do for them? I took money from my brother for cigarettes—it's killing me to say this. I don't want to go to charities as a beggar. I want to be a human being, and I want a human being in front of me who can give me my rights. I want any person to come and help me just like the Americans did—just for anyone to come here and help me as a human being."
As for the American soldiers, he was still marveling at their kindness. This was his second encounter with Americans; the first occurred a month earlier and did not go well. On that night, he had been careening down a side street at high speed when a Humvee emerged from the darkness. Unsurprisingly, Haithem ended up on the ground with soldiers screaming at him. But the Americans who heard his cries from under the highway were different; they offered him water and spent an hour dressing his wound. "This latest accident changed everything for me. I understood not everyone is the same. The soldier who treated me—the last thing he said as they put me in the ambulance was, 'Don't cry, you won't die,' and he wiped my tears. I never got the name of the soldier, and I'm sorry about that."
In Haithem's telling, the story became a parable of how some things had changed in Iraq while other, more fundamental truths had not. Ordinary Iraqis could now complain to a deputy interior minister on a call-in radio show, and the official might order his men to follow up; but the police were as corrupt as ever, the hospital care just as indifferent. Americans had humiliated Haithem and Americans had shown him humanity. But the Americans could not give Haithem the justice he craved. There would be no happy ending for him.
The Iraq War introduced entirely new kinds of cruelty to the world, so it's strange how many of my memories are of kindness. I often think of Abu Malik, a bearded, imposing man, his leather coat buttoned tight across his chest. Abu Malik would have been a frightening sight at a militia checkpoint in Sadr City, but whenever I came to stay with friends at the New York Times compound on the east bank of the Tigris, where he was chief of security, Abu Malik threw his arms around me, kissed my cheeks, and told me, in the openly tender way of Iraqi men, how much all the security guards had missed me. The last time I saw Abu Malik, a family I knew in Baghdad had just received a death threat and was trying to find a safe route out of their besieged neighborhood and then out of the country. Abu Malik, whose house was near the family's, got on the phone and offered these complete strangers safe passage to the airport.
I think of Muna, a social worker whose husband disappeared under Baath Party rule. In early 2004, she began a weekly therapy group in an abandoned building. Her patients had all been punished by the former regime and a judicial system that indelibly marked the bodies of army deserters, non-voters, and those who spoke ill of the authorities. Some had their ears sliced off, their tongues cut out, their hands severed; others had their faces tattooed with derogatory symbols. They all called her "Mama" and she called them "my sons." "Even the child on the street looks at them and makes fun of them," Muna said. "This is a great humiliation for a human being. If he were dead it would be better. If his son asks him, 'What happened to your ear?' what is he supposed to say? If he wants to marry a girl, her family will say, 'We can't give you our daughter—you're a criminal.' For one and a half hours they talk and cry, until they get relief. Then they all laugh together."
Finally, I think of Steve Miska, an Army lieutenant colonel. On his second tour, as the surge got under way, Miska was in command of a small base in an old Shiite neighborhood in northern Baghdad. The area had fallen largely under the control of the Mahdi Army, and Miska's troops spent much of their time going house to house in search of fighters and weapons. But Miska also spent a lot of his time—more and more as his tour ground on—arranging passage out of the country for the unit's Iraqi interpreters. The interpreters constantly received death threats, and once the Americans were gone, they would be easy prey. Miska understood that their fate would, in a sense, be a verdict on the war, and he likened his effort, which involved running a gauntlet of Iraqi insurgents, Jordanian border officials, and American bureaucrats, to an "underground railroad." A few of the interpreters even managed to get visas to the United States.
In wartime Iraq, perhaps in most wars, viciousness and generosity were never far apart. The menace in the streets of Baghdad was always overwhelming—the suspicious piles of roadside garbage, the dark sedans casing other cars, the checkpoint that wasn't there thirty minutes ago, the hard stares in traffic, the hair trigger of American gunners, the heedless SUV convoys, and the explosions that always seemed to happen three streets away. In this national ruin, any act of kindness, even as small as offering someone a ride, created solidarity. You were always meeting someone who had run out of options, and someone else who would risk far more to help than he would in normal times. Perhaps it was part of their culture, and perhaps these were not normal times, but Iraqis lacked the sense of shame about heartfelt declarations and naked emotions that people in more secure, better functioning places possess naturally. All of this made them harsh and lovable, and it was possible to spend an hour with Haithem or Muna, or to see Abu Malik once every six months, and feel that more human business had been transacted than over a hundred New York lunches or dinners. The same was true of soldiers with whom I would have had nothing to discuss back at home. Without these connections, Iraq would have been unbearable.
I linger on these memories because they capture something elusive and hard to describe that was nonetheless a signature of the war. The American invasion of Iraq was, above all else, a revolution in the lives of Iraqis. Their institutions, their everyday routines, their futures, their sense of order were all turned upside down. This revolution, which is still ongoing and will play out for years to come, was the opening of a prison. When they staggered out into the light, most Iraqis didn't know where they were, what they wanted, even who they were, and the Americans who had so quickly and casually broken down the gate were standing around as if they had never even considered what to do next. The Americans were nominally in charge—the Iraqis expected them to be, and after the first few weeks of paralysis, the Americans flung themselves into a flurry of activities befitting an occupying power—but it was all illusion. No one was in charge. By the summer of 2003, when I first went to Iraq, it was clear that a void had opened up and the best-armed and most ruthless groups had moved in. Although it went through many phases and assumed a variety of forms, the process of mutual disenchantment between Iraqis and Americans began early. It was this process that interested me most about Iraq, because it went to the human heart of the matter: the experience of suffering, hope, illusion, need, violence, and disappointment that transformed both sides and made the war so painful for each.
These may be clichés for anyone who has spent much time in Iraq, or in any country at war. And yet here at home they have been almost impossible to convey. In the United States, the war is an abstraction that routinely shades into caricature. For all the television news coverage, Americans have the slimmest sense of what the war actually feels and looks like—crumbling deserts, blasted buildings, angry crowds, random firefights. The image of Iraq is flickering and formless. Each year of the war seems like the last, and the patrols and meetings with Iraqis that soldiers conduct every day don't make for good television ratings. With the exception of Falluja, there have been no memorable battles. The mundane character of counterinsurgency, the fact that journalists have become targets, and the media's sheer lack of imagination have combined to make this most covered of modern wars one of the least vivid. Iraq is more remote in our consciousness than Vietnam ever was. It has been strangely difficult for Americans even to picture the place. I've been asked more times than I can remember, "What does it look like over there?" If you think of World War II or Vietnam, a dozen photographs immediately come to mind. But Iraq has not been a photographer's war. What are its iconic images? Digital snapshots by military policemen in Abu Ghraib, footage of beheadings posted by jihadis on the Web. There was no shortage of superb photographers taking extraordinary risks in Iraq, and perhaps time will sort from their work a handful of images that will define this war in the same way that, for example, Robert Capa's photographs of Omaha Beach and Nick Ut's of children fleeing napalm defined earlier ones. But almost five years into this war, there is only blank space where America's picture of Iraq should be.
The problem here is not entirely visual. Iraq's remoteness also derives from the politics of the war, and from the political culture of contemporary America at war. The fighting only ever affected a tiny fraction of the public directly. The administration, which never leveled with the country about the potential costs and risks of the enterprise beforehand, tried to keep the war quiet by declaring victory prematurely, refusing to allow pictures of flag-draped caskets arriving at Dover Air Force Base, keeping silent when large numbers of soldiers were killed. The all-volunteer military bought the administration a year or two of goodwill before public opinion began to turn. The façade collapsed when the nation began to realize, around the time New Orleans was under water, that the war was going badly. There was no reason to follow the president into the mouth of hell, and public support, which had always been thin, disintegrated
almost overnight.
Unlike Vietnam, where the arguments became truly poisonous only after a few years of fighting, the Iraq War was born in dispute. The administration's deceptions, exaggerations, and always-evolving rationales provoked a counter-narrative that mirrored the White House version of the war in its simple-mindedness: the war was about nothing (except greed, empire, and blind folly). Once, after a trip to Iraq, I attended a dinner party in Los Angeles at which most of the other guests were movie types. They wanted to know what it was like "over there." I began to describe a Shiite doctor I'd gotten to know, who felt torn between gratitude and fear that occupation and chaos were making Iraq less Islamic. A burst of invective interrupted my sketch: none of it mattered—the only thing that mattered was this immoral, criminal war. The guests had no interest in hearing what it was like over there. They already knew.
So the lines were drawn from the start. To the pro-war side, criticism was animated by partisanship and defeatism, if not treason. This view, amplified on cable news, talk radio, and right-wing blogs, was tacitly encouraged by the White House. It kept a disastrous defense secretary in office long after it was obvious that he was losing the war, ensured that no senior officer was held accountable for military setbacks, and contributed to the repetition of disastrous errors by the war's political architects. Meanwhile, the fact that the best and brightest Iraqis were being slaughtered by a ruthless insurgency never aroused much interest or sympathy among the war's opponents. The kind of people who would ordinarily inspire solidarity campaigns among Western progressives—trade unionists, journalists, human rights advocates, women's rights activists, independent politicians, doctors, professors—were being systematically exterminated. But since the war shouldn't have been fought in the first place, what began badly must also end badly.
Each side picked and chose from its own catalogue of facts, and one's opinion about everything from body armor to body counts was decided accordingly. This exposed journalists covering the war to the never-ending wrath of one side or the other. A friend who went in with the Marines during the assault on Falluja in November 2004 paused one night in an abandoned house, with mortars landing outside, and downloaded his e-mail using a satellite modem. Pro-war readers had filled his Inbox with angry complaints that he was concealing the progress of the Marines—the "mainstream media" was too lazy and unpatriotic to get off its ass and go find the war. Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham accused journalists of missing all the good news because they never left their hotel rooms. (Paul Wolfowitz said something similar; afterward, he issued his first and only apology of the Iraq War.) Press critics on the left made essentially the same charge from the opposite end: Michael Massing of the New York Review of Books argued in 2004 that journalists echoed the official line because they were too frightened, linguistically incompetent, or incurious to go out and talk to Iraqis.
The Iraq War had its share of bad or indifferent journalism. But there was a huge distinction between the failure to expose the administration's falsehoods prior to the war and the effort to report the truth in Iraq once it began. The press redeemed in Baghdad what it had botched in Washington. If the names of the war's best reporters aren't widely known today and will never be recalled alongside their legendary predecessors in Vietnam, it's partly because the public—especially the portion of it that generates and consumes opinion on a regular basis—is less susceptible to the power of complex facts than it was in 1963.
The Iraq War coincided with a revolution in technology that allowed soldiers to disseminate digital images of missions within hours of completing them, a cable network to provide around-the-clock criticism of a rival network's war coverage, and reclusive twenty-somethings to register their reactions every seventeen minutes on their blogs (and become influential commentators at the same time). The flood of information and commentary resulted in an intense, irritable, balkanized view of the war, but not a clearer view. The same combat that partisans waged over impeachment and the Florida recount found its latest battlefield in Iraq, where the American political debate was largely irrelevant and quickly became an impediment to understanding.
Two concurrent examples from the summer of 2007 offer case studies. First, a soldier on a base in Baghdad writes a pseudonymous dispatch for The New Republic that describes minor atrocities committed by him or others in his unit—mocking a disfigured woman in a dining hall, wearing a piece of a child's skull on his head, running over dogs while out on patrol. Pro-war journalists and bloggers deride the piece as fraudulent and anti-military; officers in Iraq join them. The magazine reveals the identity of the soldier, provides a bit of corroborating evidence, and hunkers down. The pro-war side keeps firing away. The magazine eventually concedes; it cannot stand by the
soldier's writings.
Second, two center-left think tank analysts return from a trip to Iraq and declare in an op-ed that the surge has produced military successes. Within minutes of being posted online, the op-ed appears in my e-mail Inbox courtesy of a White House political strategist. By the next morning, anti-war journalists and bloggers are in full cry, deriding the piece as credulous, dishonest, and self-serving. Republican politicians, including the vice president, celebrate the op-ed; pro-war journalists and bloggers denounce the denouncers.
Readers who believed the first story refused to believe the second. Readers who believed the second refused to believe the first. In a sense, they believed or refused to believe each story before it was published, even before it occurred. There wasn't a moment's pause to digest information, much less to weigh facts dispassionately; objectivity wasn't even an aspiration. What mattered was whether the facts supported the theory or not. Throughout the opinion classes, the impulse to keep a little part of the brain open to inconvenient facts seemed to have been extinguished. In magazine offices, bloggers' bedrooms, Hollywood studios, and the White House, a fantasy war was underway, a demonstration of American virtue or a series of crimes against humanity—both of them self-serving fictions.
Anyone who bothered to read The New Republic or op-ed accounts knew that each probably contained a kernel of truth. War coarsens soldiers; almost two divisions' worth of combat power makes a difference. These claims are not extraordinary, except to highly educated people engaged in furious verbal combat eight thousand miles away. I find this even more depressing than the thought of Bradley Fighting Vehicles running over stray dogs.
Philip Carter, an Army captain whom I met in Baquba in 2006, wrote of The New Republic's soldier-correspondent, "Anyone who finds Beauchamp's story incredible merely because it's upsetting has no idea what war can do." But Carter went on to say:
The Beauchamp dispatches show the extent to which the discourse over Iraq has been poisoned and how quickly the left, the right, and the military were willing to go to the mat to defend their version of what is—or what they thought ought to be—true. No one cares anymore about the troops, the truth of their reports from Iraq, or the serious issues of professional journalism associated with a series of this type. The troops have become pawns in this debate; their stories a kind of Rorschach test that reveals more about how we view the war than its reality on the ground.
The tone of Carter's piece was revealing. It lacked the fury of the partisan arguments over Iraq. This was not a sign of his indifference—just the opposite. The noise of the polemics betrayed how little the polemicists had at stake.
The Iraq War has had only the slightest effect on American culture, including pop culture. No war anthems have caught on; neither "Ballad of the Green Berets" nor "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag" has been revised for Iraq. (Neil Young's record, "Living with War," enjoyed a brief vogue, mostly among fans well beyond military age.) Iraq makes a short appearance in Ian McEwan's novel, Saturday, when a father and daughter argue over an anti-war demonstration in London; Nicholson Baker's thin novel, Checkpoint, is an imagined dialogue in a Washington hotel room between two old friends, one of whom is obsessed with a shooting incident at an American checkpoint in Iraq and considers assassinating President Bush. In each novel, Iraq is only a distant rumor, quickly dispatched. Saturday doesn't pretend to be about the war; Checkpoint, which does, is an emission of toxic political gas, not an attempt at genuine engagement. As for movies, the best American works are two documentaries by filmmakers who, at considerable risk, spent a great deal of time among Iraqis and created intimate, subtle portraits against the backdrop of war: Laura Poitras' My Country, My Country and James Longley's Iraq in Fragments. Both films earned critical praise and prize nominations, but nothing resembling their visions appears in the more widely-distributed feature films about Iraq.
Several films about the war have been released over the past year, all of them "based on actual events." The Situation, which didn't receive wide distribution, tells the story of a young American journalist who falls in love with an Iraqi photographer and attempts to untangle what happened when U.S. soldiers pushed two Iraqi suspects into the Tigris River. In the Valley of Elah is set entirely on the home front: the hard-bitten father of a soldier whose unit has just returned from Iraq learns that his son has gone AWOL and conducts his own investigation, which leads to shattering discoveries about the son, his son's buddies, and the war. And Brian de Palma's Redacted revolves around the most heinous incident of abuse by American soldiers in the war, the rape of an Iraqi girl and the murder of her and her family. The movie, which purports to tell the story "authentically" through a variety of verité camera lenses, indicts the media for its supposed complicity in war crimes. De Palma told a press conference at the Venice Film Festival that his intention was to end the war by showing images that, in his telling, no one in America sees. "The movie is an attempt to bring the reality of what is happening in Iraq to the American people," he declared. That reality turns out to be an aesthetically self-conscious snuff film that mixes fact with fiction and makes no attempt to get the details of Iraq right.
Two of these films do have merits—In the Valley of Elah features an affecting performance by Tommy Lee Jones, and The Situation, written by Wendell Steavenson, a British writer who spent over a year in occupied Iraq, contains two more or less recognizable Iraqi characters. But the films also present the war as incomprehensible mayhem, and they depict American soldiers as psychopaths who may as well be wearing SS uniforms. The G.I.s rape, burn, and mutilate corpses, torture detainees, accelerate a vehicle to run over a boy playing soccer, wantonly kill civilians and journalists in firefights, humiliate one another, and coolly record their own atrocities for entertainment. Have these things happened in Iraq? Many have. But in the cinematic version of the war, these are the only things that happen in Iraq. At a screening of The Situation, I was asked to discuss the film with its director, Philip Haas. Why had he portrayed the soldiers in cartoon fashion, I wondered. Why had he missed their humor, their fear, their tenderness for one another and even, every now and then, for Iraqis? Because, Haas said, he wanted to concentrate on humanizing his Iraqi characters instead.
It's curious that the Vietnam War, during which some Americans demonized soldiers, generated a number of movies that depict military personnel as thinking, feeling human beings, capable of committing terrible deeds but also possessed of insight, sorrow, and even redemption. Iraq, the war in which everyone loudly supports the troops, has produced a film genre that systematically dehumanizes them. I doubt these filmmakers truly regard American servicemen as moral degenerates. Instead, they treat soldiers as abstractions, empty canvasses on to which the filmmakers can project their own fantasies about the war. And because filmmakers believe the war, with its shifting and mendacious rationales, its rabid politicization, and its extreme violence, to be about nothing, the soldiers in their movies must also be filled with nothing. The G.I.'s don't find their belief in the mission undermined by incompetent leadership, their empathy for suffering Iraqis worn down by frustration, their best efforts gone to waste. They are killing machines that destroy and are destroyed.
A falsely justified and poorly waged war hardly deserves the excuse of good intentions. Iraq was a folly and a failure of the kind that happens once every few generations and leaves consequences for generations to come. The war swept up millions of lives, changing them in ways that were impossible for anyone to predict. In the summer of 2003, Iraq was volatile and fluid, and no one who knew anything knew what would come next. Some Iraqis spoke of a better future coming in six months or a year. Three years later, the better future had receded far into the distance: hunkered down in Baghdad or exiled in Damascus, Iraqis spoke of fifteen years.
By then the war was not about nothing. No war ever is. I don't know where Haithem and Muna and the others are today—some of them might well be among the Iraqis I know to be dead—but for them, the war had a meaning. It meant a chance to live a decent life, something that had never been remotely possible and remains a dream even today. The war began as folly; it became a tragedy when the hopes and lives of Iraqis and Americans began to be expended by the thousands.
"I can never blame the Americans alone," an Iraqi refugee named Firas told me in early 2007. "It's the Iraqis who destroyed their country, with the help of the Americans, under the American eye." To gain this wisdom, Firas had to lose almost everything. What would it take for Americans to understand what Firas already does? A recognition that Iraq was everyone's loss, whichever side you were on.

It's been a while since I updated, but the good news is, we've gone "live!" That means our profile book is done and sent out, our website is complete, and we've even recorded a video and audio message for potential birthmoms to look at. Now comes the hard part…waiting. The past couple of months have been full of checklists of things to do for the adoption; lots of paperwork and appointments and classes, so now just sitting here with nothing to do but wait for that call is going to be odd. It pretty much comes down to the moment when a birthmom sees our profile and decides she likes us, which could be tomorrow or could be two years from now. There's no way to know! Please be praying for her; she's somewhere out there in the world, possibly struggling with a tough decision right now.
In the meantime, we've been trying to keep busy and learn a little more about baby care. We took a basics class at our local hospital that taught us all about swaddling, diapering, and how to calm a fussy baby. We're looking forward to trying some of the things out (though we hope Josh doesn't drop the baby while trying to put a diaper on, like he kept doing with the doll, haha)! Laci has also been working on decorating the nursery in a cute Pixar "Up" theme, complete with a wall mural, a My Adventure Book that will eventually become a scrapbook, and even a little birdhouse lifted by balloons. It's become a relaxing place, and the cat especially loves to sit in there and catch some rays from the big window!
We'll update you if we hear anything new. In the meantime, we're hoping to get the news that we want to adopt out there to the world in the hopes that the right birthmom will find us. Please pass along our info if you know of anyone who might be looking to make an adoption plan. Even if we're not the right fit, our agency is great and has a lot of wonderful programs, scholarships, and counseling to offer.

When seeking out information about treating herpes lysine is surely to come up as an option. Let us take a look at this controversial treatment and weigh the pros and cons. We will define what lysine is and how it can be helpful to treat herpes. We will also review some of the cons to this treatment option.
What is it?
Lysine is an amino acid. It is not naturally produced by the body, but it is essential to the body. It can assist the body in numerous ways. Studies have indicated that Lysine will help the intestinal tract absorb calcium from the blood stream, it also decreases the excretion of the calcium making it available for the bones to absorb. It is also reported to help the body build muscle, decrease the blood glucose levels, and even reduce anxiety. Lysine has also been associated with decreasing pain, and detoxifying the body after using heroin. However, the most popular use of Lysine has been the treatment of various forms of herpes. Lysine can be purchased almost anywhere that vitamin and dietary supplements are sold. It is provided in pill format.
Lysine is easy to obtain, comparatively inexpensive, and well tolerated by the majority of people. To treat herpes lysine is usually recommended on a daily basis. Most references suggest one to three grams daily. Higher dosing can be used to address breakouts. The maximum recommended dose is four grams. A person should not take high doses for greater than two weeks. The general consensus is that if you are going to take it daily for greater than six months you should not exceed one gram (1000 milligrams) per day. Unfortunately, a study has found at that dosage lysine had no impact on genital herpes recurrences. The longest recommended dosing is twelve months. The user should stop taking the supplement for a period of time before restarting therapy. The average diet supplies sufficient lysine to keep the body running smoothly. Lysine can be found in eggs, cheese, milk, potatoes, meat, and fish. The majority of people do not require lysine supplementation for the body's normal functions.
As with anything there are cons to balance the pros. Although well tolerated by most people, there are enough reports of stomach pain and diarrhea to make these symptoms the most common side effects. Treating herpes outbreaks during pregnancy is still controversial. There are just as many people who support it as there are that caution against it. There has not been enough medical research done to support or denounce the herpes lysine issue for pregnant women. Another concern is kidney disease. Lysine is excreted through the kidney systems, so anyone with decreased kidney function should not take Lysine supplements. Calcium supplements should not be taking when using lysine. Taking these two together can lead to toxic levels of calcium in the body. Also the long-term use of lysine may deplete the body of arginine another amino-acid which is known to support herpes replication but also supports heart and muscles functions. Arginine deficiency can lead among other things to skin rashes, slowed down wound healing, liver malfunction and constipation, not anyone with herpes would desire.
So what is the best way to use lysine for herpes?
Timing is the key to using lysine. Think about why you are using the drug and what you hope to achieve.
If you have a herpes breakout and just want to decrease the pain and speed the recovery, use lysine in a high dose for one week.
If you have been experiencing several breakouts and want to break the cycle, using the supplement in low doses for six to twelve months may not bring you the results you desire. That is why I do not recommend it. Long-term high lysine intake may cause from unpleasant to harmful side-effects and I think you should really avoid it. If you must take it because you believe what you need (I don't), please pay attention to your body's reactions to the supplement and stop it if you notice any changes.
For those suffering from herpes lysine can be a viable short-term solution and is most useful if used at the very early stages of an outbreak. In my program, Herpes Antidote, I teach you when you are most likely to have an outbreak so that you can use lysine at its most potent and useful levels. Go back to the home page to read more.

Recent Decision on Donning and Doffing of Police Uniforms and Equipment
General Counsel's Office, I.U.P.A.
A California Court recently issued one of the first decisions involving the "donning and doffing" (i.e. changing) of police uniforms and equipment. Martin v. City of Richmond, 2007 WL 2317590, (N. D. Cal. Aug 10, 2007) (NO. C 06-06146 CRB). In a split decision, the Court held that the donning and doffing of uniforms was not compensable, while the donning and doffing of equipment may be compensable if officers were required to do so at the police station.
The officers sued the City of Richmond for compensation for donning and doffing their police uniforms and their duty equipment. The City argued that since it allowed officers to put on their uniforms and duty equipment at home, the officers were not entitled to compensation for this donning and doffing even if it occurred at work.
The Court distinguished between the officers' uniforms (such as cloths and footwear), and the officers' "duty equipment" (such as badges, holsters, firearms, and bullet-proof vests). The Court found that officers were not entitled to compensation for donning and doffing their police uniforms, whether at work or at home. The Court explained that "no matter how helpful or socially significant a particular outfit might be to the performance of an employee's duties, the law rejects the idea that donning and doffing of mere clothes is enough to establish an employee's right to compensation under the FLSA."
However, the Court ruled that a trail was necessary to determine whether officers were entitled to compensation for donning and doffing their duty equipment. The Court held that the FLSA would require compensation, even though the City allowed officers to change duty equipment at home, if as a practical matter the officers were compelled to put on and off the duty equipment at work. In this case, the officers had provided evidence that they could not practically put on their protective gear at home, and that the vast majority of officers put on their gear at the station, while the City had provided evidence that the officers could and did change gear at home. Because of this factual dispute, the Court held that a trial was necessary to determine "whether the 'nature of [a peace officer's] work' actually requires them to don and doff their gear at the station."
While this case provides some guidance to officers, the law in this area is still very unsettled and the outcome of the cases is very dependent on the individual facts. If union leaders or their counsel have questions regarding whether given time is compensable, they can contact the I.U.P.A. General Counsel's Office at 800-247-4872.
2013 Update
By Ryan Burton, Associate General Counsel
This issue has continued to be heated and heavily contested. Just four months after the decision in Martin, the same district court in California rejected the reasoning in Martin. See Lemmon v. City of San Leandro, 538 F.Supp.2d 1200 (N. D. Cal. 2007). The Court in Lemmon summarized its position by stating, "this court holds that the time spent donning and doffing the required uniform and gear is compensable under the FLSA. The integral and indispensable nature of the donning and doffing makes those activities principal to a police officer's duties." Id. at 1209.
In 2010, however, the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit (encompassing California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, Alaska, Guam, and the Mariana Islands) rejected the holding in Lemmon, again holding that "because the officers had the option to don and doff their uniforms and related gear at home and only changed at the police station as a matter of preference, the officers' on-premises donning and doffing of their uniforms and related gear were not compensable under the FLSA." Bamonte v. City of Mesa, 598 F.3d 1217 (9th Cir. 2010).
The Bamonte decision has subsequently been followed by district courts in California. See Mory v. City of Chula Vista, 2010 WL 3748813 (S. D. Cal. 2010); Espinoza v. County of Fresno, 2011 WL 3359632
E. D. Cal. 2011).
Additionally, other jurisdictions have also followed Bamonte, holding that donning and doffing of police uniforms is not compensable under the FLSA, specifically when officers have the option to don and doff away from the employer's premises. See Musticchi v. City of Little Rock, 734 F.Supp.2d 621, (E. D. Ark. 2010) (included in the U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals: Arkansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, and North Dakota). See also Edwards v. City of New York, 2011 WL 3837130, (S.D.N.Y. 2011) (included in the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals: New York, New Hampshire, and Connecticut).
However, a federal district court in Colorado (included in the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals: Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Kansas, and Oklahoma) failed to hold in-line with the Bamonte reasoning that donning and doffing was not compensable. See Rogers v. City and County of Denver, 2010 WL 1904516 (D. Colo. 2010). The district court refused to dismiss the case in its preliminary stages and indicated that it would hold donning and doffing time as compensable.
This issue continues to be heavily litigated. While several jurisdictions have held that donning and doffing of police uniforms is not compensable under the FLSA, courts within those jurisdictions have waivered back and forth on this notion. Additionally, while several jurisdictions have followed the 9th Circuit, many more have yet to weigh in. The wavering of the 9th Circuit and strong opinion in Lemmon may provide ammunition for litigation in undecided jurisdictions.
The I.U.P.A. continues to monitor this issue and will provide further updates as this matter continues to develop. As always, be sure to keep informed regarding the laws and any new developments in your jurisdiction.

Nordex supplying multi-megawatt turbines to Ireland
Contract worth a total of around EUR 20 million
@@start.t1@@-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ots-CorporateNews transmitted by euro adhoc. The issuer is responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------@@end@@
Nordex AG has received its largest order to date from Ireland. In a contract worth around EUR 20 million, it will be supplying a total of nine N90/2500 turbines to County Limerick in July 2007. The customer is the SWS (South Western Services) Group, whose Natural Resources division is a leader in renewable energy development in Ireland. In addition to CHP stations, biomass and waste-to-energy systems, the Group is also concentrating on wind farms.
The nine multimegawatt Nordex turbines are to be deployed at the Knockawarriga wind farm, where they will generate sufficient energy to cover the energy requirements of 18,000 households. On an elevated plateau near Newcastle West, with average wind speeds of greater than 8.0 m/s prevail at a tower height of 75 meters, ideal conditions for the 90-meter rotors fitted to the turbines.
Nordex had previously assembled wind farms in Ireland in 2003 and 2004 including ten N80/2500 turbines. To date, it has installed around 280 N80/N90 turbines around the world, making this series one of the most exhaustively proven systems of its class.
The Republic of Ireland has extensive plans for encouraging the use of renewable energies, which are to contribute 13.2% to total electricity production by 2010. As part of these efforts, the installed wind turbine capacity is to roughly double to around 1,000 megawatts. To achieve this, a new feed-in remuneration system for electricity produced from renewable sources came into effect as recently as in June 2006. Under these new arrangements, wind farm operators will receive a fixed rate of up to 5.9 euro-cents per kilowatt/hour for a period of 15 years. As early as in March, the Commission for Energy Regulation offered 1,000 megawatts of new grid capacity under the Gate 2 renewable connection process.

What's Victory Look Like?
What's victory look like when the opponent's a terrifying force and the fight's a slugfest that pummels the heart, crushes the soul? That's the sized fight I'm talking about here. The kind of fight you never want, when everything is at stake, and victory's not certain, not by a longshot, daddy-o. In fact I can show you thousands who've lost this fight. Just follow that winding road through the gut of St. Agnes. There they are, to the right, to the left, they're out there. That's what defeat looks like in this. What's victory look like?
When I was twenty-five I started my first internship at ^%&*$#@* High School. I was sitting in the main office, waiting for my lead-teacher to arrive and bring me in. As I waited, another student-teacher entered the office. A bell above the door buzzed as she came in: good hair, good curves. I looked up, watched her walk to the secretary's desk. She'd be working with another teacher there. I'd be interning with her. Finished with the front desk, she walked to the row of chairs where I sat, and my life was about to change.
We have so many ideas about what we'd do if given the chance to touch victory. But the truth is when life presents a fight like this, there's nothing left but a nub when it's done. And that nub is the only Earthly evidence that you went the distance, punch for punch, round after round after round, and when the final bell buzzed, you were still there, still here. When you fight the fight of your life the only trophy is your life.
We went together for a year then broke up. I thought I'd be better without her, sure of it. I was twenty-six and ready to be single. So off I went. Within a month, my entire life fell apart. I lost my job, crashed my car, ran out of money, was living in slum housing. The single thing, yeah, not so much fun when you're unemployed and broke. On Halloween night, she came back to me, like a blessing, saved my life. Two weeks later, I had my car back, a better job, even all my money returned. I was nothing without her. I was everything with her.
Many people believe they're destined to live cinematic lives, no bad could ever come to them, and they'll be the hero in every situation. We style our hair and nails and get worked up about what people think of us. We all want the cinematic life. But none of that matters. Life is survival, with the hope of having a few great moments along the way. To stay alive is the great gift, the only gift. That's what coming through a fight shows you. Ignorance is bliss. Victory is pulling the curtain off Oz. Victory is truth.
A few months after my father died, we got married, bought a house; began a life. We exercised and ate right, did everything possible to improve and elongate our time on Earth. I'd never been happy OR lucky. Now I was both. We'd make a family and be successful in our careers, always happy, always together. We were in great shape, physically, great spirits and full of the bully bully. Ours was going to be a great life. Then it came--IT--and it was time to fight.
Victory is never enjoyed by the victor. That part belongs to everyone else. It's the circle of friends and family that pumps fist and sips champagne when the big fight's been fought. We all imagine the great things we can do on the heels of a heroic victory. But the real hero wants no part of that kind of fight. The real hero knows nobody "wins" a fight like this. It's done because there's no other choice. The real hero understands that winning back your life will forever change your life. The romance and cinema, finished. Victory is truth.
Last night I watched my wife in the bath. She sat in six inches of water, knees folded to her chest; bald head hung low on her now-sinewy neck. Two wash clothes draped her emaciated shoulders like a boxer's robe, and her wedding ring that once fit snug slides halfway down her fourth finger. She's twenty pounds lighter and half-blinded by oozing stys in both eyes. A nub. But she's alive and she's beautiful. Victory...for now.

Sympathy Letter for Loss of Wife
Losing a loved one who means a lot to you is one of the most difficult things to deal with in life. And when that person is your soul mate, it becomes even harder. He/she is not only the love of your life but so much more than that. They share the role of a best friend, guide, confidant and so on. When you lose your spouse, your world comes crashing down.
Therefore when someone loses his/her wife, the person should be treated with utmost sympathy and care. A sympathy letter is the least you can do to show the person that you are there for them. It is a difficult time for the two, and he/she must be treated sensitively. Show them through your words and actions how much they mean to you, that you love them and are there for them in every way possible. Send them well wishes to show your support. Do mention some good memories you have shared together and what a wonderful person the deceased was.
Sample Letter
The following is a sample letter for Sympathy Letter For Loss of Wife.
Akhil Sharma
243 House no
Lodhi Road
23rd Sept'17
Rohit Ahsan
243 House
Lodhi Road
Subject: Sympathy Letter
Dear Rohit,
I heard about Rhea's demise only last night. It is hard to believe that she is no longer with us. She may have succumbed to cancer, but nothing will deny the fact that she was a true warrior at heart. She fought the disease for 13 years and beat it twice. Towards the end, it did become extremely hard for her, and I am just glad she does not have to endure the pain and suffering anymore.
Remember the picnic our families took to Aravali hills two years ago? She was such a sport. She climbed the entire way with such ease! And remember how funny it was when she pushed us both into the waterfall? She truly was a vibrant person and the life of every party. She was such a happy and energetic person – her enthusiasm was contagious.
Rohit, I need you to remember that she loved you and the kids from the bottom of her heart. I know it is a tough time for you and your family, but I want you to know that I am there for you in every way possible. I shall come over next week to take you out for lunch. Some fresh air will do you good. Sarita will come over tomorrow to pick the kids up. They can spend the week with us. Spending time with our children will hopefully help divert their mind. And of course, Sarita will be handling their academics in the months to come. Whatever it is that you need my friend, ask me.
Rhea may not physically be with us, but she will always be with us in spirit. I know she is looking down and smiling upon us. Call me if you need anything, We are all there for you.
Take Care.
Yours Sincerely,
Akhil Sharma

FURTHER DESCENT into thirdworldism:
MADRID- Visiting Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez says he and Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero share "good vibes" and the same social views.And we all know what an example of democratic virtue these folks Chavez and Castro are, don't we? What a difference to Bushitler, eh?
"Since our first meeting (in May), the vibes have been very, very good," the populist president said in an interview with the Spanish daily El Pais published on Monday.
"The convergence between his social discourse and ours is obvious."
Chavez, who arrived Sunday for a two-day official visit, was to have his first talks with the socialist government leader on Monday.
Although this is his fourth visit to Spain since 1999, Chavez, who is allied with Cuban President Fidel Castro, had particularly strained relations with Zapatero's conservative predecessor Jose Maria Aznar.

Sorry I'm so late today in posting the blog…we had a garage sale, and just got done.
While we sat in anticipation, waiting for folks to show up…my dog, Teddy, lay at my feet. I had put his pillow there so he'd be comfy and feel more at home, as we were in the garage. I kept telling him, "Teddy…lay down and rest…." But, he kept getting on his pillow, (his safe place), and chasing his tail. Round and round he'd turn, and finally, exhausted, he'd lay down and rest.
I looked at my husband, Mike, and said, "Do you ever feel like that? You keep going around in circles, chasing your tail, and at the end of the day, you end up where you started…except now, you're exhausted."
Can anyone out there identify with that? Jesus says, "Lay down and rest in ME for a while…." But, instead of listening to The Master's voice, we continue to exhaust ourselves…and end up where we started; no progress whatsoever!
Remember the 23rd Psalm?
23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures: He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Even though, I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for You, Lord, are with me; Your rod and staff comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies: You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
See what it says in verse two? WHY does He have to MAKE us lie down? I don't know about you, but I'm tired of being worn out all the time from doing my own thing and not listening to The Master's voice! Matthew 11:15 says, "Are you listening to Me? REALLY listening?"-MSG version. The KJV says, "To him that has ears…let him hear!"
I can tell you for certain…after hours of having a garage sale…I'm more than ready to lie down! LOL!

For our Sunday lunch, Mr. O and I used this recipe from Vegetarian Times as our jumping-off point. As usual, we fiddled and fussed, and this was the result:
We weren't precise enough to write out a real recipe, but here are the components for a tasty sandwich:
- Baguette
- Stir-fried tofu, finished with soy sauce
- Thinly shredded carrot and radish, quickly pickled in rice vinegar, sugar, and red pepper flakes
- Baby kale (our market was out of regular kale)
- Cucumber, cut into long, wide slices
- Fresh cilantro
- Mayo
- Siracha
We found that the our variation on the original recipe made enough for two sandwiches, and we made a little salad on the side of each (baby kale leaves, extra pickled vegetables, cucumber, blackberries, and a splash of olive oil).
Also: Siracha, where have you been all my life?
