American depositary shares of Diageo (DEO) was sliding ahead of the rest of the market this afternoon, but Canaccord Genuity says investors should toasting its outlook.
Analyst Eddy Hargreaves today upgraded the shares from Hold to Buy. He covers the shares traded on London's exchange, but sees a number of aspects that should support the company as a whole going forward.
Although emerging markets business has been weak, Hargreaves points to thriving U.S. sales, which he sees as providing good insulation from further issues like new marketing restrictions in Turkey and a closure of nightclubs in Brazil. He also expects Western Europe to stabilize for Diageo next year.
"[W]e think the Ivan Menezes, the new CEO, could bring a more proactive approach to operational excellence in local markets," he writes. "The group's N American strength is a helpful differentiator relative to many other European Consumer stocks. The stock has underperformed all Staples megacaps ytd (ie Nestle, Procter & Gamble (PG), Unilever (UN), ABI, Coca Cola (KO), PepsiCo (PEP), Wal-Mart (WMT), and PMI.)"
As for upcoming catalysts, he notes Diageo is slated to report earnings at the end of July, and may announce an increase in its shareholding in India's United Spirits, from the current 10% to the planned 27%.

This op-ed was originally published in the San Diego Union-Tribune.
As the 100th anniversary the RMS Titanic disaster approaches, the Costa Concordia grounding is a stark reminder that going to sea remains dangerous. A modern cruise ship sailing a routine route capsized in a matter of minutes in beautiful weather, leaving at least 11 people dead. About 15 million people took a cruise last year, and they are asking tough questions. Are the massive passenger vessels stable enough to withstand grounding or collision? Are the international crews capable of coordinating a rapid evacuation of thousands of people? Who oversees the operations of these vessels?
Now is the time to re-examine international safety regulations, particularly as the investigation reveals what went wrong off the Tuscan coast. The International Maritime Organization should conduct a stem-to-stern review of safety system requirements and damage control and stability criteria for passenger vessels. And the U.S. must take a major leadership role in this comprehensive undertaking, guided by our official guardians of sea safety: the U.S. Coast Guard.

text: Wonder if anyone has had this problem. A 5 year old GSP who is hunted hard suddenly developed intermittent lameness diagnosed as luxating patella. Vet has put bitch on anti inflams and ordered rest for two weeks. If not better surgery. As we have our National end of June (on quail) and season starts April we are very anxious about this. I am wondering what the prognosis is. The vet says good but I have my doubts. Upland bird hunting on totally wild birds is very demanding! I would be most interested to hear of any experience with this.

Principle of Least Responsibility
A lot of the code I write these days is for running experiments (or analyzing data from experiments). And I'm always trying to automate my testing more, in order to keep the system from being idle when there are more cases to test. So, given some experimental program E, and a set of inputs to test {1,2,3}, it's tempting to give E the power (through the magic of computer programming) to take in a list of tasks to work on -- so you can tell it "do {1,2,3}" instead of telling it "do 1", then telling it "do 2", and then "do 3".
But there's a problem here, especially if your tests take a long time to complete. If your code crashes (or a test fails) in the middle of "do {1,2,3}" it may not be obvious where in the test sequence the code failed. Or, even if it is obvious, it may not be easy to pick up the tasks from where things crashed.
Instead, it's more robust to write a simple wrapper W that, when given the inputs {1,2,3}, picks them off one at a time, calling E with the individual tasks. It may take a little extra work to do things this way, but it will pay dividends in the long run.
For example, another benefit is intelligent management of repetitions of experiments. Suppose you have tasks {1,2,3}, but you want to run each of them 3 times. A naive approach will run {1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3} but then you have potential ordering bias. And, if (say) tests {1,1,1} succeed, but the 2nd test 2 fails, what happens to your results?
Using a wrapper W, you can generate the list of experiments, randomize them, and write them to a file. W can track the success or failure of each test, keeping your experiments running but also separating the wheat from the chaff. This approach can also give you a good way to track progress through a set of experiments.
My "task log" usually looks like a shuffled file with one line for each task, or a directory of files with each file representing one task; this also allows you to modify the task set on the fly -- adding tests to the end of the task log. W doesn't remove a task until it's been completed successfully, but it moves on to subsequent tasks so it doesn't get stuck in a pathological case. (You could have it put failed tests in a separate list.) Anyway, all this allows for better recovery and progress tracking.
Anyway, I know there are lots of names for this general principle of abstraction or compartmentalization, but I'm calling it the "Principle of Least Responsibility" -- with the first working definition being "give a piece of code the least amount of responsibility that is practical". I say "practical", not "possible" because taking it to the extreme could be burdensome.
This is pretty similar to the UNIX philosophy of "Do one thing and do it well." In my case, it specifically means "don't make the code hold the state of a sequence of experiments because all it needs to be responsible for is the single experiment it is currently performing!"
In the moment, it may seem like a great idea to let your code do all the heavy lifting for you, but a little abstraction/functional decomposition can save you a lot of grief in the long run.

{No Bake Dessert / Vegetarian} MANGO KULFI … Traditional Indian Ice Cream
Adapted minimally from Spice SpoonServes 12-15 if using kulfi molds. {You will need a heavy-bottom pan to prepare this, otherwise the cream and sugar will stick to the base of the pan and burn.}1/2 cup almonds,skins removed1/2 cup pistachios, shelled; unsalted1 litre half-and-half {I used 25% low fat cream}300 ml condensed milk {about 2/3 rd of a 400ml tin was enough for me}1 large mango, pulp pureed in blender till smooth, strainedMethod:
Grind almonds and pistachios in a blender {not a food processor} by pulsing a few times. At the base of the blender, where the blade is, some of the nuts will turn into a flour like powder. This will help thicken the kulfi.
Place pan on medium heat on the stove. Pour in half-and-half.
Add almonds and pistachios.
As the temperature of the half-and-half rises, start adding in condensed milk. You will have to do this by a taste test. I used about 2/3rd of the tin. Once the mixture starts to bubble, turn the heat to low. STIR!!
A skin will form on top, just keep stirring it in. You will continue to stir for 20-25 minutes {one hour if using half and half} till the mixture thickens and reduces, becoming thick.
Allow to cool for 15-20 minutes. Add the mango puree to half, or the whole, and stir in to mix uniformly. Pour slowly into popsicle moulds {or shot-glasses}.
Place moulds/glasses in freezer. At the 30 minute mark when the kulfi has started to form, place popsicle sticks in each mould/glass.
Freeze overnight or for at least 8 hours.
To unmould, dip quickly in warm water.
Serve with a scattering of pistachios and almonds.

Gun Ownership Freedom Vs. Darwin-Citing Democrats: Who Next Will Democrats Invoke, Calvin and Hobbes?
Original post made by Charles the Free, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Apr 18, 2013
Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, for example, lashed out at Republicans and other freedom seekers after the defeat of gun-control legislation in the Senate yesterday, deriding them as "gun-control Darwinists."
In an appearance on The Rachel Maddow Show, the Democratic senator told Maddow that Republicans have "made it clear that they are just kind of gun-control Darwinists at this point who just think that we should give a whole bunch of guns to the good guys and to the bad guys, and let them shoot it out, and hope that the good guys win," he said. "That's their agenda."
Well, first of all, any idiot knows that Darwin never wrote on guns. In fact, he wasn't even an American.
Second, only an idiot would think that background checks on gun buyers would somehow turn back time and save the kids that were killed at Newtown. Newtown has already occurred, so why bother with that -- unless you're a useless party using Newtown as a prop to indoctrinate American freedom seekers with anti-gun nonsense?
Third, yes it is true that guns in the home are more likely to be used on self or a family member than on a criminal trespasser or govt agent sent to take your gun away, but that's our constitutional right. Any effort to make shooting oneself or one's relatives more difficult is just another expression of the Nanny State.
The Senate yesterday gave President Obama the first major legislative defeat of his second term, voting down by a 54–46 margin a compromise that would have expanded background checks. Obama used the occasion to whine about 90% of the American public supporting background checks. Even a blabbering Democrat should know that polls showed only 85% of Americans favoring background checks. Which makes Obama the liar he is.

Neither of you know what Darwinism is. And I'm pretty sure Obama isn't the only politician who rounds up.

Who's the idiot? Let me get this straight. You're saying that US shouldn't have more restrictive gun laws because "only" 85% of citizens desire them?
And, since you raise repeatedly the charge of idiocy, you're claiming that more restrictive gun laws should be voted down because (1) Newtown is already behind us and, apparently, that potential future massacres should be of no interest to us? And (2) you don't think the fact that ownship of a gun makes it more likely it will be used against someone in the owner's household v. trespassers is a fact worth considering?
Idiocy? Pot, meet Kettle.

I don't have a problem with Americans owning guns.
I think it's one way to deter certain violent situations.
The world has become an increasingly dangerous. I will always do my best to never use a gun to harm another person. However, a gun could also save my life.

I don't have a problem with Americans owning guns either. I would, however, along with most Americans, like more extensive background checks, as well as a limit on automatics and magazine capacity. Also, despite your heartfelt assurances, odds are Cholo, that that gun you possess will more likely be used on self or someone close to you than on a dangerous fiend who decides to prey upon you, or the nextdoor neighbor kid who decides to steal a bicycle from your garage.

Sending a handy list of gunowners to Sacto or DC, for future confiscation,, is unfair to future generations, who are entitled to our founders idea of personal liberty even if we have some today who are willing to toss it all.
We have shallow and gullible nitwits among us, who think Boston bombers are ok, but lawful gun owners are not ? ? ? Next they'll be chanting that Ace hardware can no longer sell nails.....SAME (il)logic! !
As for LABELING youth as mentality unstable, is forever deeming them UNemployable. So you're stepping up to be his financial support for life, or deciding all taxpayers will care for any youths who seek 3 sessions of counseling...So parents bribe a counselor to keep the LABEL off their child. I fear for America, that we even have such 'burn 'em at the stake' people who would CONSIDER such non 'solutions'. Those are the scary folk..well meaning fools.
Be VERY careful where you tread. The LABELING of youths will PREVENT youths and parents from seeking help. Don't forget half the psychs are more 'confused' than their patients, which is why they studied the field in the first place.
Sadly, I see in today's paper, the scary Sacto crowd, themselves unfit creeps, EACH EAGER to be the 'authors' of insane, illogical CA gun laws......already the most restrictive of our 50 states...EGOs just want their names on more Ca Crap.
Tread carefully. The UNintended consequences from stupid laws could be severe.

John, I don't know what a safer/more dangerous world has to do with gun controls that threaten to take away our precious 2nd amendment freedom to arm ourselves to the hilt if we want to, and yes even if that means endangering our family members in the process. I usually don't just leave my guns around the house except occasionally when I'm cleaning them. But even if that puts my children at risk, it's my right as their parent to put them at risk. There's nothing in the Constitution that states I must forfeit my gun-cleaning rights for the sake of my children's safety.
I agree with you, Freedom Advocate, and compliment you on the brightest post I've ever read. First they'll take away our guns, then they'll take away our nails. Its a very steep and slippery slope. And I've read all too many accounts in the media that have said the Boston bombings are okay, but gun ownership is wrong. That's the nitwit liberal media for you!
And you hit the soon to be disappeared nail on the head when you talk about parents bribing psychologists and teens being labeled unfit for gun ownership who then might not be able to later get a job as a police officer or security guard.
If anybody needs their guns taken from them, it's the scary psychologists who are either insane, liberal nimrods, or both. But if I'm willing to grant even them gun owner rights, then surely any psychologically unstable teen with violent tendencies should be able to have a gun too. And if an occasional Newtown occurs? Well, tough toenails. That's the price for making sure we are all free, even troubled youths with violent tendencies. Let's make sure they can get jobs in the future.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Actress Fiona Shaw to speak, Feb. 4
Posted February 4, 2008; 11:20 a.m.
Fiona Shaw, a leading Irish actress who regularly appears on the London stage, will present a lecture at 4:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 4, in the Berlind Theatre.
Shaw, who has been regarded as one of the finest classical actresses of her generation, will speak on "Shakespeare and Friends, Ibsen and Enemies." The free event is sponsored by the Lewis Center for the Arts.
Shaw was awarded an honorary Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2001. Trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, she has received much acclaim for her role as Julia in the National Theatre production of Richard Sheridan's "The Rivals" (1983). Among Shaw's most notable roles are Celia in "As You Like It" (1984), Madame de Volanges in "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" (1985), Katherine in "The Taming of the Shrew" (1987), Winnie in "Happy Days" (2007), and the title roles in "Electra" (1988), "The Good Person of Sechuan" (1989), "Hedda Gabler" (1991), "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" (1998) and "Medea" (2000). She performed T.S. Eliot's poem "The Waste Land" as a one-person show at the Liberty Theater in New York (1996) and played the lead in "Richard II" (1995) directed by Deborah Warner.
In addition to her outstanding theatrical career, Shaw also has worked in film and television, including "My Left Foot," "Jane Eyre," "Persuasion," "Gormenghast" and as Aunt Petunia in the popular Harry Potter films. She comes to Princeton following her reprise of Winnie in "Happy Days" at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, which closed on Feb. 3.

Home > Preparing for College >
Succeed as an Adult Student
Thinking about college for the first time or want to return for more education? You're not alone. Consider this:
- Both nationally and in Minnesota, 43 percent of all college students are 25 or older while 20 percent are 35 or older.
- Nearly 38 percent of the students in Minnesota community and technical colleges are 25 or older.
- One in every five Minnesota college students is 35 or older.
- Nearly half of Americans 25 or older are taking adult education classes, either work-related or for personal interest.
But don't get confused by the terminology. Words like "college" and "higher education" simply refer to any type of education or career training you receive after graduating from high school or getting a GED. Even universities are often called colleges! Somewhere out there, there is program that is just right for you.

This is a unique call, not too many using quartz as a striker surface. It also has the hole in the surface, (really tough to drill without cracking) this allows the bottom of the call to be solid, no holes. and at 3.5 inch diameter there is plenty of room to call from without the strike falling in. Has a real nice sound. Walnut pot and purple heart striker,the top is an old police nightstick not sure what type of wood. The mini pen I call a tag pen. Its small enough to keep with your tags so you will always have a pen.
Thanks for looken

Internship Q&A
Get answers regarding internships.
By Peter Vogt, MonsterCollege
March 19, 2009
I graduated from college six months ago, but I never did an internship because I had no idea what I wanted to do. I now think that I would like to work for a study abroad organization. Is it too late to convince a company to let me intern with them? I inquired several times about internships my senior year and got responses like "An internship? In your senior year?"
It's NEVER too late to have an internship in order to gain experience in your field of interest. Many recent (and not-so-recent) college graduates arrange their own internships after graduation for the very purpose you have. It may not be called an "internship" per se — you might simply need to volunteer.
When you approach organizations, don't ask only about internships. Let them know that you're looking for experience of any kind, whether it's through an internship or a more informal arrangement.
For example, you might want to contact a study abroad advisor at a nearby college and ask if you could assist him or her one day a week – for free – in order to get some experience. Chances are it might turn into a real internship. If not, you'll be able to include your volunteer experience on a resume.
Also look into working on a freelance or contract basis with organizations in your field, particularly non-profits. Non-profit organizations often rely on volunteers to accomplish organizational goals.
I know that, nowadays, graduating college students need to have work experience in their chosen field. However, many students have no chosen field. Liberal arts majors, like me, for example, chose their major because it had the most appeal. I studied what I thought to be interesting or, at least, tolerable. So what kind of experience should I be seeking?
While you may not have a "chosen field" yet, you can still start gaining experience by trying an internship in Field A, a volunteership in Field B, a part-time job in Field C, etc. It's not a smooth way of doing things, but in reality it's the way most of us work when it comes to finding our initial career path. After all, you can read all you want to about careers and even talk to people in various careers. But most people don't really decide if a field is right for them until they experience it firsthand.
Need money to pay for college?

Realizing this doesn't stand a chance of passing, it at least allows the sheeple a chance to see which of their Senators are mildly serious about doing SOMETHING about this monstrous debt being run up by Obama and his clan of socialist/communist/unionistas.
McConnell: All 47 GOP Senators Co-Sponsor New Balanced Budget Amendment
by Emily Miller
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R.-Ky.) announced Thursday afternoon that all 47 Republican Senators have co-sponsored a consensus Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, HUMAN EVENTS learned exclusively. This years budget deficit is projected to be $1.6 trillion, and the national debt is currently $14.1 trillion.
The key provisions of the new balanced budget amendment (BBA) are: Congress must pass a balanced budget; the President has to submit a balanced budget; spending is capped at 18% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP); supermajority vote (two-thirds of House and Senate) to raise taxes; and new supermajority vote (three-fifths of House and Senate) to raise the debt ceiling.
Weve been fighting to cut spending in the near-term and thats why well soon be proposing a balanced budget amendment. American families have to balance their budgets. So should their elected representatives in Washington. Its not too much to expect that lawmakers spend no more than they take in, McConnell said on the Senate floor Thursday morning.
Under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, amendments require passage by two-thirds of the House and the Senate and ratification by three-quarters (34) of the states. The House passed a BBA in 1995. In 1997, a Senate BBA failed to pass by only one vote. The 1997 BBA was supported by 11 Democrats, four of whom are still in the Senate: Max Baucus (Mont.), Tom Harkin (Iowa), Herb Kohl (Wisc.), and Mary Landrieu (La.).
Senate Republicans have been divided for months between two different versions of the BBA, one co-sponsored by Sens. Orrin Hatch (Utah) and John Cornyn (Texas) and the other co-sponsored by Sens. Jon Kyl (Ariz.) and Mike Lee (Utah). There were 33 Republicans who supported the Hatch-Cornyn amendment, and 17 supported an amendment by Lee and Kyl. Other Senators had specific concerns about provisions in both versions of the BBA.
Two weeks ago, Senators Hatch, Cornyn, Lee, Kyl, and Pat Toomey (Penn.) announced a press conference to unveil their versions of the BBA. McConnell told them to call off the press conference until they had a united Republican conference in support of one final piece of legislation.
Then, McConnell asked the principals in the BBA debate to go back and negotiate a unified version that took into account all the requests from members of the caucus. The final version which they are announced on Thursday is co-sponsored by every Senate Republican.
The specific provisions of the consensus Senate BBA were obtained exclusively by HUMAN EVENTS. They are as follows:
1) Presidential Requirement to Submit a Balanced Budget: Prior to each fiscal year, the President must transmit to Congress a balanced budget that limits outlays to 18 percent of GDP.
2) Requirement to Pass a Balanced Budget: With the following limited exceptions, Congress must pass a balanced budget.
* Requires 2/3 of both Houses for a specific deficit for a fiscal year.
* Requires a majority of Congress for a specific deficit for a fiscal year during a declared war.
* Requires 3/5 of Congress for a specific deficit for a fiscal year during a military conflict declared to be an imminent and serious military threat to national security and the deficit must be limited to outlays made necessary by the identified conflict.
3) 18 Percent Spending Cap: With the following limited exceptions, Congress must limit outlays to 18 percent of GDP.
* Requires 2/3 of both Houses for a specific excess above 18 percent for a fiscal year.
* Requires a majority of Congress for a specific excess above 18 percent for a fiscal year during a declared war.
* Requires 3/5 of Congress for a specific excess above 18 percent for a fiscal year during a military conflict declared to be an imminent and serious military threat to national security and the excess be limited to outlays made necessary by the identified conflict.
4) Supermajority for Tax Increases: Establishes a new supermajority requirement for net tax and rate increases.
* Requires 2/3 of both Houses for any bill that imposes a new tax or increases the statutory rate of any tax or the aggregate amount of revenue.
* Excludes increases in revenue resulting from tax cuts.
5) Supermajority to Raise the Debt Limit: Establishes a new supermajority requirement for an increase in the debt limit.
* Requires 3/5 of both Houses to increase the debt limit.
* Requires a majority of Congress for a fiscal year during a declared war.
6) Congressional Enforcement and Use of Estimates: Provides for congressional enforcement and the use of estimates.
7) Limits on Courts: Prohibits courts from ordering revenue increases to enforce.
8) Effective Date: Becomes effective the fifth fiscal year after ratification.
The Republicans need 20 Democrats to reach the 67 vote threshold for passage. But, McConnell said Thursday morning on the Senate floor that, Democrats are already lining up against it. The Senate voted on a non-binding amendment for a BBA, sponsored by Lee that got a vote of 58-40, picking up 11 Democrat votes. If that test vote would be an accurate measure for vote counting, then only nine more Democrats are needed to pass a BBA this year.
Outside the U.S. Captiol on Thursday, members of the Tea Party protested against excessive government spending by Congress. Leader McConnell went to the Senate floor to defend against attacks on the Tea Party this week by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-N.V.) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D.-N.Y.).
At a time when the national debt has reached crisis levels, members of the Tea Party are asking that we stop spending more than we take in. In other words, theyre asking that lawmakers in Washington do what any household in America already does: they want us to balance our budget, said McConnell. And they do this because they know their history, and that the road to decline is paved with debt.

Cocktail, anyone? An oversized martini or margarita glass is the perfect serving dish for this updated spirited shrimp cocktail.
Don't marinate the shrimp more than 3 hours; a longer time in the tomato juice will toughen the shrimp.
Serve shrimp in a divided glass bowl or cylinder with cocktail sauce. Serve condiments such as celery sticks, lime wedges, pickles and olives in separate low-ball glasses. Place the bowl and glasses on a large tray.
Place shrimp in an oversized martini glass (about 12 to 14 inches in diameter). Pour cocktail sauce mixture over shrimp, and garnish like a Bloody Mary with a skewer of colossal olives, a small lime wedges and a celery stick.

Spring mix: For the greater gastronomic good, let's ban it
Have I ever mentioned that I can't stand spring mix? You know, mesclun. Baby lettuces. I'm not talking about some beautiful, hand-selected Lola Rossa leaves lovingly assembled by a chef with a groovy farmer connection. I'm talking about the pedestrian stuff overflowing supermarket bins, stuffed into cellophane bags and infecting plates in restaurants.
What's wrong with spring mix? It usually tastes tired, and it's easily weighed down by even a little dressing. And somehow, when you see spring mix, it's more often that not overdressed, probably with balsamic vinaigrette or raspberry vinaigrette, of which I am also not a fan. Look carefully at that spring mix. There's usually a drop-dead limp leaf or two, and if it should taste the tiniest bit rotten, it will infect the entire salad. And don't get me started about those icky browning bits of frisée. Even the phrase "field greens" makes me nervous. Close your eyes and conjure the smell of spring mix. It is not pretty.
Here's what I think we should do about it. California has banned the sale and production of foie gras. (The fattened goose or duck liver prohibition went into effect on Sunday.) New York City has banned super-sized sodas. Texas should step up to the plate and ban spring mix. For the greater gastronomic good. Thoughts?

S. Dionne Moore and Free Books!
Before we meet today's featured author, I want to announce that the winner of A.K. Arenz's novel, The Case of the Bouncing Grandma, is:
caree21@ . . .
Congratulations! I'll contact you today for your snail mail address, and we'll get your book to you right away. I encourage readers to keep commenting and/or subscribe at right in order to participate in future book give-aways!
And now let's meet novelist S. Dionne Moore, author of Polly Dent Loses Grip (Barbour, March 2009).
Me? You want to know the status of my bunions? Actually, my bio says it all. I'm a bunion-free supermom, able to leap loads of laundry in a single bound, homeschool my daughter, and help my pastor husband, all with a deadline looming. No problem-O.
You are an amazing woman--no doubt about it. Now tell us a bit more about the novel's plot.
Plot! I knew I forgot something! Just kidding.
Polly Dent Lose Grip on the treadmill and takes a fatal fall that is ruled an accident. Helping her mother-in-law move into Bridgeton Towers Assisted Living, but the scars from LaTisha Barnhart's surgically removed bunions tell her something's afoot. The residents' gossip is revealing all kinds of motives for murder. Gertrude Herrman is out looking for love in the form of Thomas Philcher's fat wallet, and Polly's fall eliminates her competition once and for all. Otis Payne, the venerable director of Bridgeton Towers, is over a barrel when his wife demands cash, or she'll carry on without him. Mitzi Mullins's penchant for rhyme puts her in direct line as perpetrator of the crime, and Sue Mie's mistake seals Polly's fate.
Which character in your novel most interested you while you wrote? Why?
Definitely LaTisha, She's so unpredictable. Anytime I team her up with any other character, there's bound to be something fun happening. And when she gets together with Hardy? Ha. Those two are made for each other!
Why will readers enjoy your novel?
Because it measures about eight inches in height and makes the perfect backscratcher when you just can't reach the middle of your back any other way.
I love a practical author. What facet of the writing craft comes easiest to you? Explain.
I can hear my characters voices. I hear Hardy as clearly as I hear LaTisha. Dialogue comes easy to me, but I also take great pains to make sure the voices of each character are unique. After all, no two people look alike or talk alike. Good characterization begins with knowing a character's backstory and forming their dialogue accordingly.
What do you struggle with in your writing?
Setting. I often go back in edits and write in sensory and setting.
A new writer is struggling to make her main character less "flat." In three sentences or less, give her your advice.
No two people are alike. Knowing a character's backstory is key to knowing how they will act and react in your novel and also gives rise to their unique vocabulary and dialogue. Flat characters are characters that the author doesn't get to know well enough before they begin writing.
What are you working on now?
A romance. Ashton made the biggest gamble of his life and lost everything, now he's back to reclaim the heart of the woman whose life he shattered.
Where else can readers find you or your writing online? Please include the link for purchasing your book.
www.sdionnemoore.com. I'm always running a contest. Plus, I've just started doing Podcast lessons on writing. Short snippets of information that will change the way you approach your writing. I've just finished a series on Backstory, and have started a new series on Characterization.
Since the Heartsong Presents Mysteries book club is closing this summer, I'm also directing people who are not members of the club to email me personally if they'd like to purchase a copy of Polly Dent Loses Grip. You can contact me through my Website, above. We're hoping that Barbour will release all three LaTisha mysteries as a 3-in-1. Your Goose Is Cooked, the third and final book in the series was contracted, so the only way anyone will see it is if it is chosen to release as an anthology.
We'll pray to that end, Sandra! Thanks so much for telling us about yourself and Polly Dent Loses Grip. Readers, Sandra has offered to sign a copy of her novel for the winner of our drawing on Thursday, March 19. To enter, leave a comment for Sandra, below. Leave your email address, in case you win, like so: trish[at]trishperry[dot]com. If you subscribe to my blog, at right (or if you're already subscribed) you'll be entered an additional time to this drawing and all future drawings.
And check back on Monday, when we'll meet novelist Margaret Daley, author of Poisoned Secrets. And we'll draw the winner of Deborah Raney's book, Yesterday's Embers. You can still enter for that drawing under Deborah's interview, below.

I loved "Murder on the Ol' Bunions". I can't wait to read this one. LaTisha is such a great character!

Anna. Anna. Anna. Do you realize you have a strange habit of repeating yourself? Hm. But I like that you're a follower of my blog. I think. What part do you enjoy most? Or is it Trish's blog you like to follow, in which case I must admit a great degree of envy and jealousy has risen in my heart. But that's okay. I can deal with it. I'm strong. *sniff* It won't give me a nervous breakdown to know no one appreciates my Website or my hard work. It won't. It won't.
Hey, before I sign off, should we run a contest on how many mistakes I made in my interview? Yeah, I think that would be way fun. Or not. But we'll give it a shot anyhow. So, all you English majors, tell me how many (don't name each one or we might have to write a book and we authors don't like to be reminded of grammatical errors, afterall, that's what editors are for!) grammatical mistakes I made in the interview and, uh, I'll send you a copy of Murder on the Ol' Bunions in addition to Polly Dent Loses Grip. Autographed, of course. That way you can sell it on ebay for an obscene amount of money. Right. Person closest to the number of mistakes by MY estimate (I'm NO English major), wins.

First off, I found 5 grammatical errors.
Since I first heard the title of your book, I knew it was one I'd love to read. Please count me in. Love your sense of humor.
And thanks!

I love the creative twisting of words in both the book's title and your interview. As for mistakes, I counted eleven, but they are all mostly a repeat of the same verb tense mistake. (It is so easy to use "they" or "their" for single subjects, and I have to catch this one on myself quite often. I found these more because I was looking for them.) I will be praying for your anthology release.

Please enter me for the book giveaway- LaTisha has wandered on and off my computer screen via various blogs that she has written or commented on during the last year or so, so now I'd like to read all about her escapades!
Sandra, I just love your play on words.
God bless

And at the end of the Valentine's Day show, St. Pierre asked women listeners if they really meant it when they told their boyfriends and husbands to skip the Hallmark holiday.
"The phones went crazy," St. Pierre recalls.
It was good talk radio, he says — a mix of serious and light that had listeners engaged and a little emotional. "I'm walking down the stairs thinking, 'That was one of the best shows I've ever done,' " he says, "and I turn the corner and they just pulled me in and fired me."
So ended a Rhode Island Radio Hall of Famer's second stint — 22 years total — with WPRO, the state's leading talk radio station.
A week later, there's no official explanation. Craig Schwalb, the station's program director, declined to comment when reached by the Phoenix. But on Tuesday Cianci, in his first on-air appearance since the firing, said management told him it was a cost-cutting move.
It would not be the first time corporate parent Cumulus has moved to trim the budget since it bought WPRO and the rest of Citadel Broadcasting's suite of Providence stations. In the fall of 2011, it laid off seven staffers at the stations. And it has cut pay for some at WPRO.
Cianci said, on the air, that he had no advance notice of the St. Pierre sacking. When he landed in Florida at about 7 pm that evening, he said, he picked up a voicemail from management telling him to call the station. It was on the subsequent call that he got the news.
Cianci said he feels "very badly" about the move "because Ron and I have been friends for an awful long time." And their relationship does go back decades.
St. Pierre covered the former Providence mayor as a cub reporter. He hired Cianci as WHJJ's afternoon drive host in 1984. And when Cianci went to federal prison for running a criminal enterprise out of City Hall, St. Pierre visited him 10 times. His presence at WPRO played no small role in Cianci's decision to take a job at the station in 2007.
But when the station pulled St. Pierre out of the morning drive slot and paired him with Cianci, it was a demotion of sorts. And it wasn't clear, over the next five-and-a-half years, that the role represented the highest and best use of the radio veteran's talents.
Perhaps we'll hear from him again, though. A non-compete clause in his contract requires him to sit pat for awhile before talking to WPRO's competitors. But St. Pierre says he'd like to get back into radio or television.
"I'm pretty passionate about this," he says.

I don't get why that line of vehicles doesn't get more play. The SHARC, the Sky Hawk, the Firebat, the VAMP, the FANG, the HISS, and the Water Moccasin, they all got poor distribution. I think it was the reasonable pricepoint, they're $16 I think and come with a figure, some of the molds were new even.
I never said I wanted O-rings back, although they did allow for a great amount of range, and you could easily repair them yourself even as a kid. But look at the new Jedi Luke, it has a ton of range of motion, and unlike O-rings it holds that pose. If they used something like that but BETTER (they use something like that but MUCH MUCH WORSE) then they'd have something.JT, the o-ring figure in this day in age is a terrible idea. Vehicles no longer drive GI Joe, so it doesn't make sense that the figures should be designed to accomdate them. The prices we pay to have a little o-ring piece snap in 6 months would be terrible and kill the line permamently. I've spent almost as much in replacement o-rings for the last decades worth of figures than I have on the figures themselves. Death to O-Rings and A LONG PAINFUL AND PUBLIC DEATH to the people who want them to be brought back.
BTW, I had some classic ARAH figures who never had their O-rings break after years and years. I still would, but grandma gave away the Defiant Space Launch Complex FULL of my old Joes while I was forced to move to Phoenix.

letter to MP
Dear Philip Hammond,
I am writing to ask you to support the forthcoming bill for same-sex marriage, both as your constituent to ask for your vote in the Commons, and to show that not all Christians oppose equal marriage.
Some people have been encouraging me to write and ask you to vote against this bill. But I believe this is a matter of simple justice-- fair treatment for a large group of people who are spread throughout our society. Marriage is important, yes: it is so important that allowing it to some and not others is unfair.
I remain, etc.
Thomas Thurman

Our local chapter of the NWTF known as the Blue Sky Long Beards had their banquet last night in North Bay, Ontario. It was the second event in three years and it took a strong effort by our committe to pull it all together. We are on the northern fringe of the turkey range and all of us here have to travel south to hunt, as we have no season (or turkeys) here. As a result, selling the event can be a challenge. We had a great meal and a real nice time. It was a buyers market and we still made a small profit...something to build on for next year!
On a personal note, my gal won the Remington 1100 20 guage and the 'pick of the litter', so she took the turkey silverware. When we were setting up the banquet, she grabbed the silverware to set it up and and drooled on it I think, so it's great that she won it. What a night!

OMG what an amazing quilt.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
OMG what an amazing quilt.
OMG! It's beautiful but looks so difficult.
UNBELIEVABLE! I hope you all enter it in the group category in a quilt show! I would definitely vote for it!
That is gorgeous and awesome! Beautiful pattern and colors. I can't imagine being able to put something like that together!
Geta, as always your work is Astonishing! You and your friends & family made an amazing and beautiful quilt!
Lara B.
Amazing!! It is just amazing!!

Very awesome quilt. The 3d effect is so real looking. I've never seen anything like it. The quilting is outstanding . I hope you are thinking about entering it in a show so others could enjoy it also. I bet it would win.
All I can say is wonderful! It is so different and haven't seen anything like it.
OH MY!!!!! The quilt takes my breath away. So very creative.

Dental assistants are to be good looking women, that's part of their job (to take away patient's fear). That said, I don't find the woman that's shown when you query for her name "irresistible" from the photograph. She's looking ok, and she has a nice smile, but no more than a million others.
Insofar, I think it was either just that guy's wife being a total nutter about a random younger woman (wouldn't be the first time in history), or the real reason is something completely different (wouldn't be the first time in history either)..

Your request is politely denied
All that brown nosing won't get you a name change.
Morning/Afternoon admins!!
I've been on the site since 2007 and have enjoyed it ever since. I appreciate all the admins putting up with opposing fan bases over the years. I don't feel as though I've been a hassle and haven't been an opposing fan that talks trash and trolls the board all the time and instead have tried to bring positive info to the board and have also contributed to iphone wallpapers and sig pics in the past.
With all that being said I just wanted to see if it would be possible to get a name change from RollTide MJ to BamaWaterfowl. A lot of the guys on the gaming board know me as BamaWaterfowl since it's my PS3 gamer tag so it would be nice to be able to just have that uniform for both.
If this is not possible then that's cool and I appreciate the response but if you can do this then I would really appreciate it.
Again, thanks for allowing us non LSU fans to post on the board. I've read and seen a lot of sports boards and have been a part of others and this one is hands down the best I've been a part of.
Could you please send me a PM with your decision so I'll know it's directly from an admin instead of some idiot just trying to be funny or troll.
I have no idea who you even are so I don't think you are one to be calling the shots on it.
take a break

Talk focuses on Iraq reconstruction, March 23
Posted March 18, 2005; 05:34 p.m.
The man who managed $18.4 billion in U.S. funds to support reconstruction efforts in Iraq will discuss "Building Under Fire" on campus Wednesday, March 23.
Retired Rear Adm. David Nash, former director of the Program Management Office for the Coalition Provisional Authority for the Department of Defense, will speak at 4:30 p.m. in 16 Robertson Hall.
Nash, who has nearly four decades of building, design and program management experience with the U.S. Navy and the private sector, went to Iraq in 2003 to head the PMO. In June 2004, he was named director of both the Iraq Reconstruction Management Office and the Project and Contracting Office, the successor to the PMO. This past September, he joined Alabama-based BE&K, a top U.S. engineering and construction contractor, as president of its government group.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

Lo and behold, a tiny Circus Strong Man put a stronghold on our voters! This little man's mom, Marion Min-Barron, created a circus-themed Halloween for her family, and she dressed-up her 19 month-old son as an old-school circus strong man! The resourceful mama made a few tweaks to an old onesie, fashioned a homemade belt from elastic and construction paper and made a hefty-looking barbell by spray painting two bouncy balls and attaching them to a wooden dowel. She let her adorable son practice his weight-lifting motions in the days leading up to Halloween, and he looks like a real pro in this pic. Of course, the curly moustache drawn on with eyeliner really tops the ensemble off, making this costume the winner of the heavyweight grand prize title.
EDITOR'S CHOICE: LITTLEST MARTY McFLY AND HIS DELOREAN PUSH-CAR
Littlest Marty McFly and his DeLorean push-car really captured the hearts of our editors, and he made us all nostalgic for those simpler times when Back to the Future was made. This cool little dude wins our Editor's Choice award. Who could resist that smile… and that car! Cory Newton-Smith used a push-car outfitted with a cardboard frame fashioned from photos of the famous vehicle to make this DeLorean replica!
Krystal's daughter's nickname is Super Fi and for months she had been talking about dressing up as a superhero for Halloween. They didn't want to buy a costume this year, so Krystal was happy to come up with an outfit using items they already owned. They ended up with a fun costume made from leftover felt, embroidery thread, tulle and ribbon from past projects, an old sweatshirt and pants, Starbucks coffee sleeves, and temporarily altering her winter boots. The result was Super Frugal and super fun!
The R2D2 costume Jimmy made for his son is entirely homemade. He tried to make it as comfortable and practical for trick-or-treating as possible while staying as realistic and true to the original R2D2 design. The dome is a helmet that his son wears so he can see when walking, but it can fit on top of the body to go into full disguise mode. The legs have wheels for assisted movement, and lights and sound effects complete the wow-worthy costume. Almost all materials were reused from things around their home.
Emma's husband created these two characters from "Thomas the Tank Engine'" for him and their almost-3-year-old son, Egon, to wear for Halloween. All homemade, from cardboard boxes, sculpted into crane arms, wheels and even moving mechanisms! They did an amazing job, and they all had an awesome Halloween in their hurricane-swept Brooklyn neighborhood!
We were all bowled over by this clever culinary costume! To cook up this getup, this family got crafty. They used yarn for the spaghetti noodles, felt balls for the meatballs, adhered them to a red outfit that doubled as tomato sauce and topped it off with a bowl from their kitchen cupboard. Talk about a winning recipe!
Congratulations to all of our winners!

Congratz to lil' circus strongman but as a geek, I have to say that mini Marty McFly in his Delorean was my fave.

You are here
Looking for a good source for decorative drawer liners? I've scoured retail outlets in search of good-looking options, always coming up empty—or settling for something that will just "do." I've used anything from leftover wallpaper to overpriced decorative paper and spray adhesive as a replacement for the lackluster retail options. But I really like chicshelfpaper.com for hundreds of neat designs, from super contemporary to pretty florals (they've even got sleek, silvery industrial patterns). Each comes in a simple matte paper that you order with or without adhesive (around $20-$28 per roll), fabric ($32.50), laminated vinyl ($32.50), or satin canvas with adhesive edging ($60). Pretty reasonable for small projects.
These papers are great for dressing up:
* Interiors of bookcases
* Dull office or storage pieces (stacking cubes, desktops, etc.)
* Table surfaces, placed under glass pane overlays
* Walls: fit into picture frames for easy DIY art
* Unsightly appliances like refrigerators (you need extra adhesive)

Businesses which rely on foreign workers to keep their doors open shouldn't be punished because of allegations that other companies are abusing the program, says the province's minister of Advanced Education and Skills.
"You take the fast food industry in Labrador West. It is going to be severely and negatively affected because of one major player right across Canada including here in this province that has abused the system in my opinion," Kevin O'Brien told The Telegram Friday afternoon.
It's been two weeks since the federal government suspended its temporary foreign workers program in the food services industry amid allegations of exploitive labour practices across the country and accusations that immigrants are displacing Canadians who want to work.
O'Brien, and the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses (CFIB), as well as some other provinces, are lobbying Ottawa to reinstate the program until after a review of it is done.
"The federal government, based upon their assessment of the data and information that came forward to the minister was so severe he decided to suspend the program, and my point to him is fine enough, suspend the ones who have abused it, but don't negatively impact the ones that haven't. It's not fair to the rest. That's my opinion," he said.
"We are on it now to see if we can come to some kind of compromise until they figure it out, because people's visas will come due and they'll have to go back to their native countries, which affects their possible immigration to Canada and the businesses employing them," O'Brien said.
Under the program, employers must first make an attempt to find qualified Canadian workers before applying for a labour market opinion — called an LMO — in order to hire someone from abroad.
Companies are required to place ads on the federal government's online job bank and prove they've made other attempts to find Canadian employees.
In January the program came under scrutiny in Labrador as the Canada Border Services Agency began an investigation into allegations by temporary foreign workers that they were forced into overcrowded living conditions.
In 2012 the program was questioned in St. John's after Guatemalan chicken catchers living in the city complained saying they weren't getting paid what the employer originally promised, and they were living in a mould-infested apartment.
A story by The Canadian Press says the temporary foreign worker program had about 100,000 people in it in 2002. There are about 338,000 now working across the country.
According to information provided to The Telegram by the Department of Advanced Education and Skills, Citizenship and Immigration Canada reported there were 2,552 Temporary Foreign Workers in Newfoundland and Labrador in 2012.
While the numbers haven't been published for 2013, the department expects the number to be around 3,000.
CFIB representatives met with federal Employment Minister Jason Kenney Wednesday to express their members' displeasure with the Ottawa's decision. They will meet with him again next week to provide recommendations.
Vaughn Hammond, CFIB's director of provincial affairs for Newfoundland and Labrador, told The Telegram Friday afternoon that the program is needed in the province.
"There are times we cannot find people regardless of what we do. We can wage raises, offer benefits, do what is necessary and members are still not getting the applicants required (across the country)," he said.
"There's a need in Corner Brook, Deer Lake, Clarenville, Happy Valley-Goose Bay and Lab City for temporary foreign workers because there are businesses that simply can't find the workers to keep their businesses going," said Hammond.
He said CFIB members have told Kenney the labour shortages are real and have asked the federal minister to reinstate the program while the review is ongoing.
Hammond said the CFIB understands where the minister is coming from, but businesses can't wait months for a resolution.
He said businesses recognize the program has challenges which need to be addressed, but to echo the words of O'Brien, Hammond said not every company should be punished because of the allegations against a few.
"That is what 85 per cent of our members have said. Our members are quite upset about it. A few isolated allegations that haven't been proven in any form, and what they've done is come out and painted the whole sector with this brush that they are abusing the program," said Hammond.
In the meantime, O'Brien said he has written Kenney and has been involved with a series of conference calls with other provincial and territorial ministers who share the same concerns.
He said they are expecting to meet in July, to address common issues, but he said he's hoping the suspension will be lifted before that.
