Dunkin' Brands
Coffee Picks for Even the Grumpiest of Investors
By John Casteele - August 19, 2013 | Tickers: DNKN, GMCR, SBUX
I'll admit it... I'm a fan of Tardar Sauce, aka "Grumpy Cat." I love cats in general, and something about that frowning face just gets to me. When I found out about the recently-launched "Grumppuccino" themed coffee drink, I even found myself tempted to forgo my usual "don't buy trendy themed items" stance for the sheer novelty of having one of those bottles on my desk.

For an Investment in Coffee and Donuts, Head North?
By Mark Yagalla - August 19, 2013 | Tickers: DNKN, KKD, THI
When Americans think of coffee and donuts, Dunkin' Brands (NASDAQ: DNKN) and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (NYSE: KKD) typically come to mind. But for Canadians, the first think they think of is Tim Hortons (NYSE: THI). Tim Hortons is the largest quick-service restaurant chain in Canada and has achieved iconic-brand status among Canadians.

What Are the Problems that a Debt-Fueled Stock Buyback Won't Solve?
By Mike Thiessen - August 15, 2013 | Tickers: DNKN, SBUX, THI
Beloved Canadian fast-food giant Tim Hortons (NYSE: THI) has announced plans to expand the scope of its recent buyback initiative amid widespread griping by rank-and-file shareholders. The move comes on the heels of rumors that the company's CEO is fighting for his job and could presage further announcements from the profitable but debt-burdened purveyor of coffee, donuts and breakfast sandwiches.

Grab the Green Mountain Opportunity
By Eshna De - August 15, 2013 | Tickers: DNKN, GMCR, SBUX
The fact that Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (NASDAQ: GMCR) could not meet analyst expectations on revenue in the recently reported third quarter hasn't gone down well with investors.

NEW YORK (MainStreet)The contribution rate to 401(k) plans remains brisk, but while loans drawn against the plans have declined slightly they still remain at disturbingly high levels. With nearly $3 trillion in assets in defined contribution plans and 50 million active participants, less than 1% of plan participants discontinued contributions in the first quarter of this year, according to just-released research by the Investment Company Institute (ICI).
Analyzing recordkeeper data of nearly 24 million plan participant accounts, the research shows Americans continue to rely on 401(k) plans as an important savings tool for retirement. Assets in all defined contribution plans comprised more than one-quarter of assets in the total retirement market and accounted for almost one-tenth of U.S. households' aggregate financial assets at the end of the first quarter of 2013.
Additional findings include:
- DC plan withdrawals in the first quarter remained low and were in line with the prior year's activity. Only 1.3% of DC plan participants made withdrawals in the first quarter of 2013, compared with 1.2% during the first quarter of 2012. Just 0.4% took hardship withdrawals during the first quarter of 2013, the same share as the first quarter of 2012.
- While loan activity dipped slightly by the end of the first quarter, it continues to remain at a high level when compared to five years ago. At the end of March 2013, 17.9% of DC plan participants had loans outstanding, compared with 18.2% at year-end 2012, and 15.3% at year-end 2008.
- The stock market was generally favorable through the first quarter and most 401(k) plan participants stayed the course in their asset allocations with 4.8% of DC plan participants changing the asset allocation of their current account balances and of their future contributions -- similar reallocation levels as observed in the first quarter of 2012.
Meanwhile, in another sign of increasing 401(k) popularity, Fidelity Investments, a leading provider of employer-sponsored 401(k) plans, has reported defined contribution sales and commitments totaling $40.5 billion in assets under administration for the first half of this year. That marks an increase of nearly 60% over 2012 first half sales of $25.5 billion. The firm says sales rose across all market segments, with particularly strong growth noted in the tax-exempt market which garnered $8.8 billion in sales, a 250% increase over the same period last year.

iPad 3 rumors come to life: We rate them here
Summary: Update: We originally did this gallery over a week ago. Here's an update with a brand new set of rumors to herald or squash.
10 of 24Image
Update: The rumor mills are just dying to see a cheap iPad to compete at the lower end. Given that bottom-end 16GB iPad 2's are now going for $429 from many resellers, and you can buy refurbished iPads straight from Apple for as low as $299, it's possible we'll see a lower-priced iPad 2 model (especially since the current iPad display is a known commodity, when it comes to supply chain issues).
The Magic 8 Ball: The Magic 8 Ball reads, "Signs point to yes". You'll probably be able to get a cheaper iPad, but whether there's a storage reduction or not is anyone's guess.
In light of both the Kindle Fire and BlackBerry Playbook 2.0, there are some rumors that there might be a lower-cost unit. Given that Apple is now minting money faster than the mints, we have our doubts they want to play in the Kindle Fire ghetto. But Apple has been known to play their iPods to every niche, so there is a possibility. We've seen reports of up to three models, with one starting at about $299.
The Magic 8 Ball: The Magic 8 Ball reads, "Very doubtful". Apple isn't feeling any competitive pressure from the low end, and if you want a cheap iOS device, buy an old iPad or iPhone.
The other side of the storage equation is the 128GB variation. After all, if you can now store and display full 1080i or 1080p movies, and you can display photos at super-high resolution, shouldn't you require more storage?
The Magic 8 Ball: The Magic 8 Ball reads, "As I see it, yes." This all depends on whether the supply chain can put out, but Apple likes printing money and there are definitely iPad customers who would tip for the full Monty.
We're also hearing rumors that Apple might be changing up the docking port, to something smaller and less compatible. The premise is that this would clear up some internal space, but it also means customers would have to buy all new accessories. Many of us have been handing down chargers, power dongles, and the like for four years now, and we should definitely be punished for our loyalty.
The Magic 8 Ball: The Magic 8 Ball reads, "Concentrate and ask again". This one's tough to predict. If Apple were a normal company, we'd expect them to reduce the port size to make room for more connections. But Apple isn't normal by any stretch of the imagination. So, they might shrink the port to make more internal room (even that tiny bit of extra space for battery could give you another few minutes of run time), or because, well, being the world's largest company isn't good enough.
Image: This shows Apple's patent drawing of a docking station for an iPad. It was granted in May 2011.

How We Lived Yesterday: 10 Videos of Life Through the Decades
There are many ways to waste time online, but perhaps my favorite educational online diversion is watching archives of footage transferred from film to YouTube, showcasing what life was once like, offering glimpses of the lives our parents, grandparents, and even great grandparents once led. Whether for nostalgia or for curious entertainment, these 10 video time capsules sorted by decade reveal the lifestyles, fashion, homes, and dreams of yesterday long past...
The 1920's
The 1930's: Miami
1950's: London
1960's: California (Also recommended: Greenwich Village)
The 1990's: The Internet

1920's New Orleans, not that much of it looks that different
This was a great, but it also made me a little sad. People then had such hopes for our society, and while our tech is superior than what they thought it would be in the 20's, I think many would be shocked by how terrible things can be, and these are people who survived the great War and then some. But I giggled at how one designer thought that skirts for woman might be eliminated! And I am SO grateful I do not have to drive in the city in 1900!! What a juxtaposition of centuries there!
So many of our older generation saw so much change in their lives, and I can't even imagine how it must feel to notice the degeneration of societal manners. I can only imagine when I am 90 years old, if the changes I see will be as drastic.
The footage for the 1900's, 10's, 20's, 50's and Greenwich Village 60's (linked) are the strongest in this collection. I love how imaginative and future-focused the 20's were, some of that footage was from METROPOLIS (1927), a must see for anyone interested in film and/or design.
The focus overall on buildings was a bit dull for me - I like to know how individual life was experienced.
The 60's ladies in gloves made me uber grateful not to have to wear such a costume!
Thanks - lots of fun but where is that viable personal jet pack and, oh yeah, i wanna transporter!
It was cool to see 1900's San Francisco. We're so used to seeing only stills from that era that seeing actual life in motion is eerie. Considering that all those people are dead and gone, I felt like I was watching ghosts. Especially with the creepy music accompaniment.

Profit From 5 Trades Warren Buffett Made
BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- What's Warren Buffett buying? As usual, when Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.B) released its 13F filing to the public on Friday, people went nuts.
>>Why You Should Buy Hedge Funds' 5 Favorite Stocks
How nuts? Berkshire's biggest buy for the quarter picked up another $8 billion in valuation as new buyers piled into shares. But Wall Street got a lot of the details wrong about the Oracle of Omaha's stock spending spree. That's why we're taking a closer look today.
It's not understating things to say that it was another quiet quarter at Berkshire. The $92 billion portfolio only increased stakes in six stocks in the third quarter, and none of those positions were new. Instead, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, Buffett's team of two portfolio managers, stuck with increasing stakes in their favorite names in 2013.>>5 Big Stocks to Trade for Big Gains That's fine as far as Buffett is concerned: Both managers beat the S&P 500 by double digits last year. Even though the buying has been cautious, it tells us a whole lot more about the stocks that these guys like than if they'd been buying with both hands. And buys aren't the only telling trades going on at Berkshire. The stocks that Berkshire unloaded are pretty informative too. So, want to profit from the trades that Buffett made? Today we're taking a closer look at five conviction trades from Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio. >>5 Rocket Stocks for Another Week of New Highs That word -- conviction -- is an important distinction for the folks poring over Berkshire's latest 13F filings with the SEC.

Me: …with a fencing sword.
Me: A half naked ASIAN man with abs!
Cee: :D are you trying to climb through the screen?
Me: I'm stopped by the fact that I know he's gay.
For me, a fetish is when you not only kink for specific body parts or objects. It's when you kink for stuff that doesn't even exist. Which is why I feel able to admit to you that I'm starting to kink hard for Star Trek.
My dad's a Trekkie from way back, but I never quite got it. He used to watch Babylon 5 every night, and when I had nothing else to do I'd join him. There was some episode that was a homage to Trouble With Tribbles, which somehow led to my dad realizing I had never seen the first version. He popped in a grainy VHS tape of it, and I saw William Shatner for the first time. Dear old dad no doubt thought this was a geek right of passage. I was only midly interested, but this was before I'd reached puberty.
* * *
"So who did you like better?" asked Q. when I told her I had seen the newly airbrushed movie version that weekend, "Kirk or Spock?"
Oh, Kirk is ok, I said, he's all manly and brash and stuff. But Zachary Quinto just makes me melt. (So much so, in fact, that I'd gone back to the orginal series to see more Vulcan goodness and found that the wonderful people at CBS had put up the entire thing on YouTube. It's in great condition and you don't have to feel bad for stealing anything!)
It was with a sense of satisfaction that Q. told me that her first ever crush had been for the original Spock. Since she's a distant relation, I guess it's genetic. And, watching the old series, I'm amazed at how much it does work. I tend to think of my parent's TV as something asexual. But even the chicks on the original Enterprize want to get into Spock's pants, and there are outfits that wouldn't look out of place on a Beyonce video. And even with all these made-for-male planets that just happen to have at least one hot woman on them, there are an awful lot of shirtless men.
This doesn't mean there aren't a lot of things wrong with the Original Series. It's got cheap sets, clunky plots, and shitty dialogue, but I don't care: my hormones have me once again surfing the internet's waves of utter crap in search of a little flicker of that special something that's obsessed me once again. I'm not thinking of my dignity, but of sweet, sweet Vulcan mind loving (What other pressure points do you know about, Mr. Spock?) Some girls want to devour pints of chocolate ice cream during their period: I just want some attention from an alien life form.
You know where this is going, don't you? Oh, yes, I went there: Kirk/Spock slash. With bondage. And someone set it to "Closer".
I have no shame.
Guys and gals, if I'm ever topping you and I grab you by the face like Spock does in the first few seconds of the video, just roll with it. I promise I'll snap out of it momentarily.
Do you know about how they take the two names of famous couples and contract them? The "technical" term for Kirk/Spock slash is, apparently, "Spork" I shit you not.
The above video was given to me as a response to my comment about how no movie could be as good as Bitchy Jones' libido. Jayunderscorezero, I have no idea who you are, but if we meet in real life, can we make out? I think we'd have a lot in common.
And the last video should be of that moment in Star Trek when Zachary Quinto is choking Kirk for what seems like ages. But sadly I cannot find one on YouTube, so y'all will have to be content with using it as wallpaper.

Is Your Baby Fined by the Fashion Police?
Here's your wee one's wake-up call.
Childless Bitch: Some of you mommies constantly accuse the Childless Bitch of being jealous of your thriving chasing-after-a-leaking-diapered-baby lifestyle. That's why you think we are so empty on the inside, void of any real purpose in life, and totally unfulfilled by weekends spent lounging poolside with our girls in Palm Springs, spontaneous dinners trying out new restaurants -- things that are oh so meaningless and trivial once you have birthed life. Well, you couldn't be farther from the truth -- but I'll take your word for it that I won't really get it until I'm lactating like a cow and complaining about lack of sleep to anyone that will listen via my Facebook status updates. There is one aspect of the baby lifestyle that I won't go as far as saying I'm jealous of, but more like something I could get behind: keeping your baby looking cute and stylish. I dig baby fashion. With one giant exception -- and it's not Crocs.
Yes, my ovaries shriek a little when I walk into a Baby Gap and pull out the tiniest sundress that is so precious if it were 40 sizes bigger, I'd totally buy one for myself. I love being the cool aunt in L.A. that sends my friends' kid its first bikini or pair of jeans. In short, I am totally down with stylish babies; however, I have to draw the line at one thing -- accessorizing your baby's head. Not down! I'm not talking about hats -- long live baby hats! -- I'm talking about those silly headbands you wrap around your bald baby's head to distinguish it from being mistaken for having an XY chromosome. And along with those ridiculous strings, even more absurd are those stickers of cutesy bows that sit atop your baby's head like a precious little present. Why not just get a stick-on tattoo that reads, "Hey, I'm a girl and if you mistake me for anything else my mom thinks I will have long-term emotional scarring possibly leading to confusion in my sexuality later on in life." Did I take that too far?
I'm hoping the garter belt around the baby's head with the addition of the stick-on bow will be a short-lived trend, and that, come next season at Baby Fashion Week, we won't be seeing any babies tumbling down the catwalk wearing heinous head strings and gift-wrapping decor. Until then, bring on the baby skinny jeans!
See, every once in a (great) while, I do agree with CB.
I did see a hilarious big that said something to effect of "Who cares if I'm bald, I AM a girl!" in bright pink. On the converse, I think my son is getting a haircut this weekend…you can dress him in overalls/jeans, a shirt with trucks and dinosaurs all in blue, blue sneakers and a blue sweatshirt…and you get "awww…what a cute little girl!"
@PlumbLucky, same thing happened with my son, he was the most boyish boy ever… except for the little baby ringlets!
Now I have a very cute and girly girl but i don't get offended if someone makes a mistake, she doesn't have a lot of hair yet and if she's out in green footies (it's been cold the fashion police can deal) it's not entirely unfair for a stranger to think she's a boy. She just really likes green and I don't see the point in dressing her in cotton candy pink head to toe.
I'm sorry to inform you that the baby headbands will not be a short-lived trend as they have already been around too long for that.
I love baby headbands. My daughter had many of them! They are no different than any other hairbow a little girl might wear. Geesh, what a thing to get upset about!
Yeah, sorry ladies. I have to agree with CB on this one. Those baby headbands are nauseating. I only received one when my daughter was born and promptly turned it into a slingshot. There's no way I'm putting a garter belt on my child's head and cutting off the circulation to her brain. If you're that insecure about people confusing the gender of a bald toothless person either dress them all in pink or look deep inside yourself and try and figure out why this sort of thing matters to you. Incidentally, my daughter is 17 months and whenever she wears blue people call her "little guy" and "buddy," but she really doesn't mind. Seriously.
For once, I agree with CB! I have 2 boys, so I guess I can't say what I would do if I had a girl, but I'm pretty sure I would steer clear of the headbands with the GINORMOUS flower on them that is bigger than the poor girl's head! That's gotta be bad for their little neck muscles!
Not all the headbands squeeze the baby's head! And it wasn't about being upset for someone confusing her for a boy. They just look cute :)
To each their own I guess!
Hahahahaha, I'm with CB on this one! Those baby headbands on bald infants makes them look like they have head trauma. Headbands on toddlers or babies with hair are okay.
I hate the headbands too, and my mom always stuck those stupid bows in my hair when I was a baby. My little girl had none of that, and when she got mistaken for a boy as a baby a couple times, so what? Babies look pretty much alike anyway! If that's truly the concern, people need to find better things to worry about. But really, I think it has to do with moms wanting to dress up their babies like they did their doll babies. :-P
cb - from one cool auntie to another, i couldn't agree more! rock on.
I too hate those darn headbands. They don't look comfortable. Who cares if someone says aww what a cute boy! Just smile and say thank you and move along. Be glad they said the kid was cute. Geesh! :)
I just stumbled onto this column. Boy, are you ever the kind of woman I wouldn't want to impregnate. I know it's just a schtick, but yikes.
BTW, you do know that after the kids go through the dirty diaper, sticky-finger stage there is a whole rest of their lives that is pretty cool?
Hit another one out the park CB!
I wanted to go to lunch with a friend of mine. She had to bring her kid, and get this. She refused to take the kid anywhere with a TV! Like 20 mins of listening to a baseball game is gonna ruin her kid.
The thing could be in Auschwitz and as long as you keep shoveling liquefied carrots in it's maw it will go on smiling.
CB spitting more truth!
X and Y are separate chromosomes.
Great site! Good to read. I have got a small thing to submit about shirts.

Topic - Can you fundamentally change who you are?
Taurig - on 22 Apr 2013
Bit of a vague question, I know, but what do you think?
I don't mean things like changing job, deciding you're going to get to bed earlier, eat more fruit etc. I mean at a fundamental, deep level, deciding that you are unwilling to continue your life with the same attitudes, habits, values, mental processes and basic interaction with reality that you have done during your life so far.
If it helps to see what I mean, I'm asking this question as a late twenty-something who is really just exhausted and fed up with living with the same neurotic thoughts, personal habits, fears and deep sense of unease that arise on a day to day basis. We all have out burdens to bear, I know mine is overthinking, overanalysing and taking negative thoughts from my own mind as truth. When I say fed up with living, don't think I'm going to end it all, life is too short already and I don't see the point in making it shorter, I just want to get the most out of it!
So what do you think? If you have lived your entire life with deeply ingrained mental habits, is it too late or just too hard to change? Do you need to go 'find yourself' on a rainforest trek, or can you make a conscious effort here and now to ignore the aspects of your psyche that you hate, and foster new, positive processes? Or am I just going through the somewhat documented quarter-life crisis, and I should just shut up, realise everyone goes through the same sh*t time at some point, and get on with it?
Very interested to hear your thoughts and experiences. Sorry for getting a bit deep on a Monday, but no time like the present eh?

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
More private club than hotel, you'd hardly know about Soho House's 24 guestrooms if it weren't for the website. The exclusive membership policies and socially engineered rooftop pool parties, not the hotel, are the center of attention.
Soho House New York -- the first of the members-only outposts outisde of London -- opened in 2003 in Manhattan's then-seedy Meatpacking District and helped usher in the neighborhood's transformation. The club and rooftop pool -- and the members, of course -- make regular appearances in New York society headlines: The club practices a version of social engineering whereby members must be nominated and then chosen by the club for permission to pay the hefty annual dues. "Creative types" and celebrities make the cut -- Wall Street types, supposedly, don't.
Soho House rooms are spacious and well appointed with comfortable beds, great bathrooms, and top-of-the-line technology. But in a neighborhood where hot neighbors like the Standard and Gansevoort wow guests with super modern design, the once-trendy look of these rooms is feeling dated.
The city's only Cowshed spa, the Drawing Room and Bar, a restaurant, and a private screening room are spread throughout the building, and are only accessible to hotel guests and club members. But forget about inviting a group of friends to join you for a drink in the lobby -- guests can invite only two people to join them inside the hotel.
Though any trendy guest or member is likely to fit in here, the hotel itself seems best suited to Soho House club members visiting from the other side of the pond, who get a members discount on rooms. For most visitors, however, Soho House doesn't measure up to other neighborhood favorites like the Standard and Gansevoort, which both offer fresher-looking rooms and service that spotlights hotel guests, not exclusive members.
Service is punctual but not nearly as attentive or thorough as it ought to be.
You get none of the over-the-top attentiveness, thoughtful extras, or personalized attention that most hotels in this price range offer. Service is known to cater to club members over guests.
Well located in trendy downtown Meatpacking District, full of shopping and glitzy nightlife
Soho House is in Manhattan's Meatpacking District, in the northeast corner of the West Village, next to Chelsea. The area's name refers to its recent past as home to hundreds of slaughterhouses and meat processing plants. Later it was a notorious cruising ground for prostitutes. These days, after an astoundingly rapid transformation, it's become a fashionable neighborhood with a lively nightlife scene -- Soho House credits itself for importing cool to the area, while others attribute the start of gentrification to the designer boutique Jeffrey New York or even Soho House's neighbor, the Hotel Gansevoort.
Fancy shops and expensive, celebrity-chef restaurants abound throughout the neighborhood, and at night, plunging necklines appear and sky-high heels click along the sidewalks until long past the midnight hour. Despite the area's slightly seedy history, it's now perfectly safe at nearly all hours -- but it's not quiet.
Spacious rooms with bold but slightly outdated design. Plenty of amenities, but they'll all cost you -- a disposable razor or two and Wi-Fi access are about the only free things in the room.
Large, well-appointed rooms range from 325 to 950 square feet -- pretty large for New York, in other words, even at the bottom of that range. Great beds, couches, desks, plenty of storage and closet space, and up-to-date technology in even the smallest rooms make them feel like apartments. They all feature huge bathrooms with a huge range of Cowshed bath products and luxurious stand-up showers. All rooms have Sony Bravia flat-screen TVs, equipped with "Dream" surround sound systems hooked up to DVD players, radios, CD players, and iPod docks. Catch phrases like "cool Britannia" and "urban sophistication" crop up in articles describing the design, by Ilse Crawford, founder of British Elle Decoration.
The rooftop pool and Drawing Room & Bar are the center of the social action at this club-cum-hotel. It also has a small gym, Cowshed spa, private screening room, and private event rooms -- all members and guests only, of course.
The rooftop pool, especially during sweltering New York summers, is an enviable hangout spot, with a great view of the city from the pool deck, bar, and poolside service (with a food menu available, too). Seating is first come, first served, and guests have no priority over members. The pool has designated children's hours, and is open seasonally, shutting down completely during the coldest weeks of winter. The pool deck furniture is replaced every year to create a new atmosphere.
When guests aren't partying poolside, they're usually crowded into the Drawing Room & Bar. It's first come, first served here too, and when it's crowded, good luck on the "served" part. Members hold business lunches and work from the deep, plush chairs during the day. At night the place becomes a busy, see-and-be-seen kind of bar where members come to network. For knackered travelers, this could be overwhelming and annoying -- but if you thrive on exclusive party scenes, you'll have a ball.
Large rooms with decent soundproofing make the rooms reasonably comfortable for families, but because of its late-night club atmosphere and noisy surroundings, it's not an obvious family choice.
The hotel's sexy club atmosphere and loud surroundings put this low on the list of great family hotels in New York. However, the rooms are very spacious; the (small) pool is fun in good weather; and cribs and rollaway beds are available. (Cribs are free, but guests are charged a extra fee per adult per stay; the number of people allowed depends on room type.) And the room-service menu has decent options for kids. But families who really want to stay in the neighborhood would do better at the Gansevoort Hotel, just steps away, where rooms and amenities are better suited to kids.
The hotel's own kitchen produces pretty average, unexciting fare, but the surrounding area offers a wide range of excellent choices.
Soho House's kitchen serves different styles fare in the restaurant, Drawing Room & Bar, and poolside. The restaurant doesn't take reservations, and it tends to get crowded, so planning a calm, sit-down dinner here is wishful thinking.
A full room-service menu from the same kitchen is available during the day, and a limited late-night snacks menu is available afterhours.
Thankfully, the hotel's Meatpacking District surroundings offer plenty of great culinary choices.
Known best as a members-only club, Soho House's 24 rooms, though comfortable and well-designed, are pretty much an afterthought. Yes, the rooftop pool, the Drawing Room bar/lounge, and spa are all great amenties. But lodgers vie with club members for service, and the staff seems so concerned with it's own brand's exclusivity and cool that hospitality is all but forgotten.

And now, let me spin a few gossip tales, some involving genital tricks, some not: Several women from recent versions of The Real Worldwill be baring it all in Playboy. That's tooreal. . . . Meanwhile, Graydon Carteris not a playboy. He was acting chummy with Gina Gershonat Da Silvano recently, but he later explained that he was comforting her over the death of a friend. . . . Covenant House is coming back from the dead and being turned into a gay boutique hotel. It sort of always wasone. . . . Party-thrower extraordinaire Susanne Bartschis also enjoying a rebirth. The Swiss Ms. will be doing monthly fests at a Times Square club, starting with a Rufus Wainwright/Zaldy event on Valentine's Day. . . . Less festively, I'm hearing rumors that Backstreet Boy Kevin Richardsonis having marital problems. Tell me why-eee. . . . Speaking of exes, Domicile has something called Molly's Salad on the menu. Pourquoi? "Because I used to be Molly Simms's fiancée," the owner explained to me. Apparently, she likes a facile set of walnuts. . . . Delightfully twisting the biz by the balls, acidic writer Bruce Wagner was feted at Chateau (the old Moomba) by Post scribes Chris Wilsonand Jared Stern. Wagner's hopes for the Oscars? "I'd love John Nashto go onstage and have a total collapse," he told me. "Screaming like a banshee, falling on top of Brian Grazer, vomiting, and talking in tongues." No, dear, that'll be Russell Crowe.

Most complications from high blood pressure relate to the circulatory system, as a result of the added strain to your heart and blood vessels. In the long term, the strain on your heart and blood vessels can affect other major organs too, which can lead to potentially life-threatening complications.1 For this reason, it's important to keep blood pressure at manageable levels, especially if you've already been diagnosed with hypertension.
The most common complications arising from high blood pressure include:
High blood pressure can damage the small blood vessels in your kidneys, which can affect their ability to excrete waste properly.2 This can cause a number of symptoms, including:

Any of us who have ever taken one of the aromatase inhibitors (AIs) or, to a lesser degree, Tamoxifen are well aware of the muscle/joint stiffness that usually develops. Some women experience this as real pain, and a few women need to change medication to improve their symptoms. In that situation, changing, say, from Femara to Arimidex often does improve things. For most of us, however, it isn't really pain, but is "suddenly feeling like a 90 year old woman" first thing in the morning or getting out of the car after a half hour drive or even getting up from the couch after watching a long baseball game (Yes, Red Sox on the mind today).
I am now so accustomed to this stiffness that I barely acknowledge it. I surely do notice it as a hobble across the bedroom floor in the morning, but it is always much better before I get to the door. I have noticed that the stiffness is worse, that is, longer lasting, if I haven't been able to exercise for a few days, and now here is a study that confirms that observation. This is another good reason to lace up those sneakers and get moving.
Here is the start of an article from Daily Rx and then a link to read more:
Walking Away From Cancer Rx Stiffness
Breast cancer patients on aromatase inhibitor therapy find stiffness relief from walking
After primary treatment, many breast cancer patients are given medicine to keep the disease from returning. Medicines called aromatase inhibitors block the production of estrogen, the hormone that feeds most breast cancers. Side effects of these medications can include joint pain and stiffness.
A small study found that walking helped older breast cancer survivors on aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy find relief from medicationrelated joint stiffness, pain, and fatigue.
In addition to easing discomfort, at the end of the study, most of the women said they were motivated to continue walking.
Kirsten A. Nyrop, PhD, a research associate with the Thurston Arthritis Research Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, led the pilot study.
AI therapy is given to postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. There are currently three AIs available: Aromasin (exemestane), Femara (letrozole), and Arimidex (anastrozole).
These medications, usually taken for five years following primary treatment, help breast cancer survivors live longer. However, an estimated 20 to 32 percent of the women taking AIs discontinue the therapy because of the joint pain and stiffness known as AI-associated arthralgia.
The goal of this study was to see if physical activity could help breast cancer survivors continue their AI therapy while living without pain.
Finally, some explanation for what is going on. I have heard people say they feel like they are walking in concrete. Now we need to treat the problem by building in anti-arthritis components into the medicine,

Samoa <<suh MOH uh>> is an island country in the South Pacific Ocean. It lies in the western part of the Samoa Islands chain. American Samoa, an area of land controlled by the United States, lies in the eastern part of the chain. Samoa is one of the smallest countries in the world. It is made up of two main islands, Upolu and Savai'i, and many smaller islands. Apia is the capital and only city of Samoa.
The islands of Samoa were formed by volcanoes. A volcano on Savai'i still erupts, or shoots out lava and gas. It last erupted from 1905 to 1911, covering part of the island with lava rock.
The island shores are lined with tall coconut palm trees. The rocky, reddish-brown soil near the coasts is good for growing bananas. Other plants include taro, which has an underground stem that can be eaten, and cacao, a tree whose seeds are used to make chocolate and cocoa.
The people of Samoa are an island people called Polynesians. Polynesians have lived in Samoa for at least 2,000 years.
Samoa makes most of its money from farming. Most of the people are farmers. The main food crops are bananas, cacao, coconuts, tropical fruit called breadfruit, and taro.The people also raise pigs and chickens and catch fish.
Polynesian royal families ruled the Samoa Islands until the end of the 1800′s. In the first half of the 1900′s, Samoa was ruled by Germany and then by New Zealand. At that time, it was called Western Samoa. It became an independent country in 1962 and changed its name to just Samoa in 1997. In 2011, Samoa changed time zones to boost trade and tourism with neighboring New Zealand and Australia.

- If using fresh tomatoes, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Make a small X in the bottom of each tomato and plunge into the boiling water until the skins are slightly loosened, 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water for 1 minute. Peel with a paring knife, starting at the X. If using frozen tomatoes, run each under warm water and peel or rub the skin off. Thaw in the refrigerator or defrost in the microwave until mostly thawed. Chop the tomatoes, reserving any juice.
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, about 4 to 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes (and any juice), basil, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper and sugar (if using). Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook until thickened to desired consistency, stirring occasionally, 1 to 11/2 hours. Taste and season with additional salt, pepper and/or sugar.
