Keeping Pets Safe: Poisonous Plants
Lots of dogs and cats like to chew on foliage. Avoid the plants that bite back.

Lots of dogs and some cats chew on plants. Most of the time, there's no ill effect. But some plants — such as elephant ear and yew — can be extremely toxic to pets. Other plants that are much less poisonous create toxicity issues only when large quantities are eaten. With all of these plants, the effect depends on the variety of plant and the size and weight of the animal and the amount consumed. Effects can range from mild oral irritation to poisoning.
If you have a young puppy who nibbles at everything, you'll want to either get rid of a problematic plant or make sure that pet and plant don't come in contact.
Among the most toxic:
Moderately toxic:
Depending on the size of the animal, these plants are among those that can create toxicity issues if large quantities are eaten:
Eaten in very small amounts, plants like dieffenbachia, philodendron, peace lily, pothos and anthurium chiefly cause oral and/or stomach irritation.
Get a more extensive list of problematic plants.
Other things to watch for:
Cocoa bean mulch. This byproduct of chocolate production contains caffeine and theobromine; both ingredients are poisonous to dogs.
Systemic insecticides. Applying a systemic pesticide will render even a harmless plant poisonous to your pet.

Chapter 50 Reviews
Since day one of the tour I could tell dad wasn't completely happy. He liked the new members of the band, but it wasn't the same. He missed Duff, Steven, Izzy, he even missed Slash. So here we are five years later, and still on tour. The only difference is in what I asked for as a birthday present (my birthday is this week.) I didn't ask for anything this year that you can buy, I asked for Guns N' Roses.

Taki's Wrong on Reds; JFK Jr.'s Preferential Treatment
What I don't understand
is why he vehemently defends people whom he'd consider war criminals if it weren't
for the fact that they're of the same political mind as he is—Henry Kissinger
being one of them.
Now it's Pinochet's turn
to be beatified while the world awaits his extradition to Spain where justice
will be served. If it wasn't for Pinochet, Taki says, Chile would have turned
out to be another Cuba. Thank God it didn't. But it did turn out to be a totalitarian
state similar to Cuba, except that Russians spies didn't call Chile home. Many
Chileans who opposed the regime were tortured and executed in soccer stadiums.
Pictures of the various executions circulated clandestinely for many years until
they were published in Paris Match last year.
Amaury Rodriguez,
Kennedy Tax Bill
MUGGER: Thanks for hammering
the media (7/21) for their shameless response to JFK Jr.'s death—the vultures.
But John John's passing
has revealed three other ugly things about this country. First, that a great
many Americans have shown themselves psychologically better suited to live in
a hereditary monarchy. Really, what else can be said of people who never met
JFK Jr., yet moan that he was such a big part of their lives and weep hysterically
outside his Tribeca loft?
Second, that plutocracy
in America is alive and well. Had you or I plunged our private plane into the
sea, only the Coast Guard would have looked for us. After a day or two they
would have quit looking, leaving private salvage companies to retrieve us from
Davey Jones' locker. Why? Because it isn't the government's responsibility to
do so. But, if it's a Kennedy—well, that's another story. John John is/was a
private citizen? So what? All Kennedys are Friends of Bill. So the orders come
from the Oval Office to spare no expense. Damn near every government ship within
250 miles dropped what they were doing to partake in the massive rescue/retrieval
effort, as if a national treasure had been lost. Then comes a burial at sea
courtesy of the Navy. All of which, of course, was paid for with our tax dollars.
Third, that the media hasn't
the gumption to take Clinton to task for this blatant misuse of taxpayer money.
Instead, they natter about the "fall of Camelot" and other such romantic
buncombe, relishing the opportunity to be the stars in this spectacle of "national
mourning"—a spectacle of their own making.
Kevin R. Kosar,
Blare and Bitch Project
I was laughing out loud at
Armond White's article ("Film," 7/21) about The Blair Witch Project.
I never get tired of the pompous-critic-insisting-on-comparing-all-films-in-the-context-of-art
routine. That always gets me going. I especially liked the bit where he lists
those great art films: Blood of a Poet, L'Age D'Or, Citizen
Kane, etc., then gives us the punch line: Excalibur! How clever of
Mr. White to create a phony article to critique a phony documentary. My only
criticism: the attempt to make the article seem authentically NYPress
by jabbing at the Village Voice was a bit obvious.
Adam Symons,
A Half-Hour Every Morning
I try to read your column, but who the hell writes all that verbiage? Do you
really think most (or even some) readers have the time—and more importantly
the interest—to read 10,000 words a day? Lighten up and give us a synopsis.
Maybe even say something important, or profound even, instead of the novel-a
day-until-the-reader-gives-up columns.
I do admire your "energy level," though. I guess.

Liège attack: Belgian police find body in killer's shed
Police in Belgium have found a woman's body in a shed belonging to a gunman who went on the rampage in the centre of Liege on Tuesday.
The body was found with a bullet wound to the head, say Belgian officials.
Nordine Amrani launched his attack with guns and hand grenades in a busy marketplace in Liege, killing three people there and himself.
Police say a 75 year-old woman earlier identified as one of the dead is still alive in hospital.
About 125 people were wounded, five of whom are in intensive care, including the woman.
The body found at the killer's property was that of a cleaner, reported to be 45 years old, who worked for one of Amrani's neighbours. (via BBC News)

5 Consumer Stocks Hedge Funds Love
Tissue and paper towel maker Kimberly-Clark (KMB) owns more than a few household name brands itself, including Kleenex, Scott and Huggies. The firm is one of the biggest names in consumer health and hygiene products, selling the consumable items that consumers need to keep stocked-up in their homes.
Unfortunately for KMB, when times get tough consumers tend to stock up the off-brand competitors. That means that Kleenex tissues often get traded down for store brand tissues, a product that consumers are more willing to switch to due to comparatively small differences between the two. KMB has been working to combat that poor stickiness by offering more differentiation between its offerings and the bargain brands. That's helped plug the holes in its sales, but ultimately, lower input costs are the critical factor that's been giving Kimberly-Clark breathing room on its income statement in 2012.With net margins pushing back up towards double-digits again, this stock is throwing off mountains of cash and a hefty dividend payout that currently yields 3.6%. In turn, hedge funds ramped up their holdings of KMB by 25% in the second quarter, picking up 1.11 million shares of the firm. Like most of the names that made this list, Kimberly-Clark is a defensive income-paying stock that's a solid core holding for investors in this market. To see these stocks in action, check out the at Hedge Funds' Favorite Consumer Stocks Q2 portfolio on Stockpickr.

Gold Nano-Particles & Tea Curing Cancer???
A CBS News story reports a new study showing gold nanoparticles, in combination with a compound found in tea, may treat prostate cancer better than chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy can treat different kinds of cancer, but typically carries toxic side effects. While it has been known to shrink tumors, chemo also destroys healthy areas as it passes through the body. But, University of Missouri researchers discovered that when small gold particles and a compound found in tea leaves were combined, they targeted prostate cancer tumors more directly.

Your Nutritionista: 10 Things You Can Do Right Now for Your Health
- Stop being all or nothing about working out. Just give yourself 20 minutes to kick some booty and you're done! If you need to, set a timer and just MOVE for 15-20 solid minutes. It can be enough.
- Banish sweetened drinks from your vocabulary. I don't care if it's "100%" juice or a "healthy" smoothie. Not. Worth. It.
- Crave sugar? Eat (unprocessed) fat. Something higher in fat and lower in sugar, like 70%+ dark chocolate or berries and cream can hit the spot without a sugar overload.
- Go for a walk! Walking is probably the most underrated form of exercise there is, and you can do it almost any time, anywhere, with anyone.
- Make a recipe file. Next time you have 10 minutes and a printer, find at least 5-8 recipes that look good. Print them out and keep them so when you don't know what to cook, you'll have a go-to file.
- Make a workout file. Do the same thing for workouts: print out fun-looking workouts you find online, and cut out good ones from magazines. Next time you don't know what to do at the gym, pick one at random.
- Vow to ignore health claims on food packages. They're totally pointless and can lead you to eat some pretty disgusting food. Remember the "Smart Choices" program?
- Don't let cooking intimidate you. Believe it or not, I just started cooking 4 or 5 years ago. I used to be super intimidated by it. Guess what? Food is a lot harder to screw up than you think! And don't be afraid to fail once or twice.
- Stop relying on the scale as your only metric of health. Imagine if we only relied on one data point for ANYTHING else in our lives!
- Don't let food become guilt-inducing or "guilt-free." In the words of the immortal ieatbutter: "Food itself does not have guilt—we assign it guilt because of something we feel about ourselves."
Helpful advice from a tumblr I follow called Nutritionista. If you're looking to get back on the "healthy" bandwagon, my advise is to not set the bar so high. I keep my figure with manageable diet and exercise.
On this blog I'm going to share all of my secrets for gold and life!
For the last several years, I've been helping women earn the extra money they're looking for. Right now, the price of gold is up so we can all benefit from selling old gold and throwing a party for our friends to make money too.

Mystylepoetry's first outfit video is finally online. It was a chilly winter night and I put my summer dress on (still being in denial that it's not winter yet in Holland). Together with my highest wedges – and seriously I needed some practice to walk on those – we went searching for the right location till we found our selves crossing this road. The yellow street lights and the flickering stoplights gave us a good vibe to start shooting.
At first i was so nervous – and cold – but later on I really started liking the whole idea we had and just had a lot of fun.

I have to believe at some level you (as the parent) are feeling guilty for something, perhaps working full-time and not spending enough time with them, or acting out some other personal issues. Your children need to learn independence and that's it's OK to be alone -- coddling them is not the answer.

Personally, I'd like to be an egoist.
The problem is that the sum of our DPS and utility is not enough to warrant our position in a raid, correct? So why is it then that everyone says, "Therefore, let us be exactly like every other class and have utility" rather than "Perhaps our DPS should be increased"?
I like the idea of raid synergy, but I think there should be at least one class that says, "Screw it, I'm in this for me."

ALL the costumes!
For this year's World Book Day (which is fast approaching) my little sister has decided to dress up as a female Sherlock Holmes. A kind of 'Shirley' Holmes if you a will. Naturally I offered to make the costume… and here's my rough plan.
Dalek dress for halloween 2011.
I drafted a rough little plan/dress-pattern for one of those TARDIS dresses. This plan is for the middle dress from the illustration. I'm ignoring the black leggings and under-shirt for the moment. Also, I chose to make it out of cotton because that is usually the cheaper option and this is, after all, just a costume.
Harley Quinn costume I made back in halloween 2010.
Halloween is literally next week, definitely shouldn't have left it this late to think about costume/s….
- cut out the pattern pieces
- trace and cut the pieces from the fabric
- sew up all darts
- sew together all wool crepe pieces
- make pockets from paisley and attach to wool crepe
- sew together all paisley pieces
- sew paisley lining to wool crepe
Making the shirt.
The Make Escape II
Went to The Make Escape again. This time we turned up super early (too keen for crafts maybe?) and made sunglasses. This involved a pair of sunglasses, some broken jewellry/brooches, some spare fabric, and loads of uhu.
In retrospect I've kinda gone for a whole Pink Ladies theme. Also my uhu skills leave a lot to be desired and most pieces have since fallen off, been reglued, and fallen off again. Oh dear…

A win in the finale over the Philadelphia Eagles would give the Cowboys a series sweep and the head-to-head tie-breaker.
In order to topple the 8-8 Cowboys, the Eagles would need a 9-7 or better record.
Sitting at 4-5 now, another loss to Dallas would give them no less than 6 total losses. In this simulation, that moves them to 4-6 at the moment.
To achieve the required 9-7 mark, the Eagles must gather a minimum of 5 wins over their remaining 6 games (non-Cowboys).
Road: Green Bay (minus Rodgers) , Minnesota
Home: Washington, Arizona, Detroit, Chicago
Sure it is possible to lose only 1 of those 6 games, yet highly unlikely. For a team already with 5 losses in 9 contests, do we really see them taking 3 of 4 from the potent NFC North.
The top 3 teams in the NFC North have a combined 15-9 record. The division overall is 2nd in the NFC in combined record (16-16).
If Dallas beats Philly in the finale to reach 8-8, it's a giant longshot these Eagles win 5 of 6 of their other remaining games to acquire a 9-7 record.

What $70 Gets You At a Flea Market
I've been going to Upstate New York for the past few weeks with some friends who do many style-y things for a living, and one of them is that they collect antiques to sell in their store in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. They are good friends to have in many ways, but one of my favorite things about having these housemates is the way they can do a flea market like no one else. Lately, I've learned some of their tricks.
So this year, my summer travel souvenirs are mostly old funky things, and mostly for my kitchen of course. There are napkins that come with the musty odor of history and serving pieces that wear the nicks of time. I have perfectly seasoned cast-iron skillets and an ornate fish server I use for summer pies. I love each and every piece, and so does my wallet.
At first it was intimidating; table after table of guys selling ammunition, funny old paintings that surely would look great in a Brooklyn antique store if you had the right eye, and a few vendors with lots of sass. So I started out with what I knew: linens. Usually sold by sweet older ladies with big cardboard boxes stuffed mixed up napkins, placemats and tablecloths, the linen market is largely ignored by people at flea markets who are there to get great bargains on larger items like furniture. Sitting beside one of these treasure boxes is a great place to retreat and dig for gold.
Knives are some of the best finds at flea markets. They're often beat up and rusted or stained, but with a little steel wool, Bon Ami, and a sharpening stone, I've turned several knives into new favorites. A few weeks ago I drove through Hudson, New York and found a great antique store specializing in cooking implements. The proprietor had a wall of about twenty of these rocking choppers, at $79 each. The one above was $5 a few days later at the flea market. I didn't try to bargain on this one.
The skillets needed a little TLC, but that's no challenge. You can follow our How To Season a Cast Iron Skillet tutorial and have perfectly non-stick and non-toxic skillets in no time. Prices on these range widely, but the best deals are usually on the rusted pans that need re-seasoning. Two important questions: 1) Does it have dents, grooves or pockmarks? and 2) When you set it on a truly flat surface, does it rock at all? If the answer to either questions is yes, walk away. There's another pan waiting for you!
Each weekend I find a few things to bring home to my kitchen, or a one-day-dream house in the country of my own. Between my finds, and all the other flea marketers in the house, we have more than enough now to cook and serve our meals with incredibly high-quality yet inexpensive pieces of art. The tables are unique and relaxed and yet the food somehow feels elevated — whether it's sliced with that gorgeous old knife, or served on the Ironstone platter. All without even a hint of a chain store. How utterly liberating.
All the finds:
- 22 linen napkins, $8
- Long knife, $8
- Rocking chopper, $5
- 3 cast iron skillets, $14
- Enameled measuring cup, $1
- Ironstone platter, $12
- Iron slotted spoon and ladle, $5
- Fish server, $10
- Glass jars, $6
- Wood pestle, $1
Total: $70

Love. Simply Love!Thanks for sharing your finds---the linens are beautiful!
Love your finds! What flea market(s) do you go to in Upstate?
I adore the linens - I never thought to look for them at flea markets! Will definitely keep an eye out next time. They're so beautiful!
Ooo Yummy :) Vintage Kitchen Tools are my favorite things! 16th months away from my dream kitchen in the county. No more chain stores! No more supermarkets! Thanks for sharing!
Oh, you are talking about something that is dear to my heart. I have pieces that cost me much less to buy if I purchased them new and I have found items that I could not afford to buy new. Older pieces often were made to last and are of much better quality than some that are manufactured nowadays. I have beautiful crystal, old dishes, funky glasses, ornate silverware, unique serving pieces, sturdy cookware, handcrafted linens and funky, one of a kind pieces. I enjoy the fact that I am using items that someone else used and loved and I feel a kinship with previous owners. I have been to yard sales where I can tell that an elderly family member has passed on and the family is breaking up her kitchen. I'm sorry for their loss but again, I am happy to "inherit" all the good vibes from another cook's kitchen. The only time I feel really sad is when there are items that an elderly person saved for best and never, ever used or enjoyed. I understand that mentality, but I wish they had the pleasure of using their special pieces.
I love flea markets and I always go for the kitchen stuff.
We are in the middle of clearing out my grandparents house and I don't know what to do with myself. They had tons of stuff, everything from fruit knives to dessert forks to four full china sets and this chinoisserie that I've seen go for alot at regular modern stores.
Unfortunately, my kitchen cannot possibly house all the things I'd like.
Really awesome! I look for vintage kitchen stuff at my local thrifts and flea markets and stuff. I haven't really bought much lately; just a vintage blue Pyrex bowl.
I also find that auctions are great places to find cheap, antique, kitchen items. Plus, it's a great place to people watch.
oh I love these things! That enamel measuring cup is so dreamy.
Going to antique market is one of my favorite things to do in the whole wide World...I can't wait until my kids are big enough so I can start shopping at these amazing places...
hey, maybe I missed it but can we get the name of the Hudson shop?? I'm in CT but am up by Hudson a lot and would like to swing by there. Thank you, Bruce
Spearmint- perhaps those elderly people received those "best & never ever used" items as gifts to replace their well used, much loved pieces. My grandmother would sometimes get items like that from her children for Christmas b/c they couldn't think of anything else to give. But she still used the kitchen tools that felt right in her hands.
Sara Kate- I can hardly believe 22 linen napkins were only $8! I went to Brimfield a few years ago & the linens there were far more $. I am lucky to have inherited mounds of family linens, so the only think I have to do is wash, hang & press. I only use the linen napkins when setting a more formal table (yes, some of us still do that).
I did get a lovely metal pie plate at Brimfield. It was about $10 & it makes the BEST pies.
Great finds! Three cast iron pans for $14 is a steal.
I love your wooden masher, and I have quite a collection of them myself! Great find - especially for a $1. Where did you pick it up for such a steal?
Lovely post -- I'm ancient, 60 years old, and have been recycling kitchen and other household goods since my mother dragged me to every yard sale and bazaar on Long Island -- she always bought the handmade linens, even those crudely done, because she hated the idea of someone's hard work and love going un-loved.
That rocking chopper you got? Nice buy! That's a mezzaluna, "half moon" in Italian, and is magic for mincing herbs. Now keep your eye out for a vintage wooden chopping board with a rounded indentation in the middle -- a perfect match of cutting board and cutter!
The original owners of these lovely and useful items would be delighted to see them once more cherished, and USED.
22 linen napkins for $8!! Score!
I love vintage kitchenware, either hand-me-downs or thrift store/Ebay finds - pitchers, champagne coupes, bakelite handled cutlery, large meat platters, antique linen napkins and tablecloths, rustic chopping boards that are concave from use, all are beautiful and useful! I avoid antique shops because of the mark ups.
The only kitchen items I have declined is silver flatware. We only have space for what is functional, nothing saved for special occasions, and there is no way I'm going to spend time polishing/handwashing things that are used daily.
I inherited two large sets of silverware. Pretty boxes and all. One day as I was contemplating buying new flatware for our daily use, I wondered why in the world I was not using the beautiful silverware safely tucked away upstairs in the closet. How silly that I would even consider buying more when I had these beautiful sets just waiting to be used. I got them down off the shelf and never looked back. They go thru our dishwasher and get used daily. They show some tarnish now but not much, and it's been over a year since they were sprung from the closet. The cute little butter knives and beautiful serving spoons get used now too. What a find in my own closet.
These finds are so much more satisfying than retail. I was in Hudson,N.Y. in 2006,having been told it was a great antiqueing town. Alas, it was Wednesday and they were all closed,except the good will store. I bought wood spoons,a ceramic cruet, and some glass pieces, and left very satisfied. I still use them.
Kudos to those who know how to find what's good at these places but there is literally nothing in that picture that I'd want in my kitchen. I like the "older" look in the sense that I like elegant products, so definitely no kitchen sets that look like I've hobbled them together from yard sales. My mother used to do this to save money, so maybe that's why I wouldn't take the same route. I'd rather spend more on new knives that look dignified and will last me a long time. I did appreciate the cast iron tip, though!
surely you mean cobbled together. :) well, maybe someone from a later generation will find something you enjoyed having as a new piece at a flea market and be thrilled to add it to their cobbled together kitchen. :)
i truly enjoy the hunt, finding items no one else has & of course the fun of paying less for an often-times better quality product. none of my dishes or glasses match on purpose. every single one is a favorite. i abhor sameness.
You may want to go through your grandmother's kitchen/pantry (with her permission) to see what she has been hoarding before it gets tossed or goes to goodwill!
Eep! Yes, I do.
I'm the total opposite, mismatched things drive me batty! I don't even like looking at kitchens where one cabinet door is open while the others are closed, I get anxious. I know it's just a generational reaction to my mother's mismatched everything, but still! My sister-in-law told me she loves having mismatched woods in her home and it was so hard not to cringe. I see all that and just think, "but nothing is the saaaaame!" Haha, oh well. It's my cross and I'll bear it as long as I can afford it.
I know exactly how your table looks! And am just as thrilled as you are! It never ceases to amaze me that I can own such lovely items with so little investment. And the thrill of upgrading an item is just pure fun.
Sara, have you checked out The Bottle Shop in Millbrook, NY? It is jam-packed with treasures....cast iron, bottles, old picture frames, door frames...if you've never been, and you are in the vicinity (closer to NYC than Hudson) you must check it out!
I love finding old linens at flea markets/tag sales too!
What I especially love about flea markets and antiques is that it is recycling at its best. It's honoring well-made, well-designed items generally made from natural materials, and you're sharing them across the ages. My favorite tablecloth is one I found for $8 at a flea market in Indiana. It's from the 40s, and the fabric is incredibly soft, and only gets softer. It's cotton from before cotton was heavily sprayed and treated.
what does "style-y" mean?
". . . a one-day-dream house in the country of my own."
Gee I'd love to have my own country. But maybe you meant a "my own dream house in the country" ---?
Good grammar costs nothing.

Justice Department Sues To Stop US Airways Merger With American Airlines
August 13, 2013 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
WASHINGTON, (UPI) — The U.S. Justice Department Tuesday said it had filed a legal challenge to stop the merger of US Airways and American Airlines.
The merger would result in higher costs and poorer service for consumers, the department said in a statement.
It would create the world's largest airline but at a cost to consumers, said the Justice Department, which filed a lawsuit along with six state attorneys general and the District of Columbia.
The deal was negotiated while airlines were struggling to survive the recession and its aftermath, which reduced travel and pushed airlines to seek out partners and create a plethora of fees for everything from services to snacks to extra legroom.
The Justice Department said the merger "would substantially lessen competition for commercial air travel in local markets throughout the United States and result in passengers paying higher airfares and receiving less service."
"Airline travel is vital to millions of American consumers who fly regularly for either business or pleasure. By challenging this merger, the Department of Justice is saying that the American people deserve better," Attorney General Eric Holder said.
"If this merger goes forward, even a small increase in the price of airline tickets, checked bags or flight change fees would result in hundreds of millions of dollars of harm to American consumers."
"Both airlines have stated they can succeed on a standalone basis and consumers deserve the benefit of that continuing competitive dynamic," said Assistant Attorney General Bill Baer at the department's anti-trust division.
The government said AA and US Airways "engage in head-to-head competition with non-stop service on routes worth about $2 billion in annual route-wide revenues."
Above and beyond the merger, the department said the deal would put 80 percent of the U.S. air travel market in the hands of four companies. US Airways and AA together would control 69 percent of the flights in and out of the nation's capital, the department said.

Searching for Undervalued Stocks in the S&P 500
Rupert is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Right now, the market is full of uncertainty. Even before the Fed statement on June 19 the market was full of uncertainty. To some, the market looks to be overbought and due for a correction; for others, the market still looks undervalued.
Personally, I don't sit in either camp, but I do think that while the market is so unpredictable and bouncing around its multi-year highs, there are still some opportunities left to buy undervalued stocks. It is just a case of doing some extra work and looking carefully.
The best way to find undervalued companies is usually the simplest: Comparison of key ratios to the rest of their sector.
Where to start?
As I have written about here, one of the most overvalued sectors right now is consumer goods. However, it appears that there are still some stocks that have not yet caught up.
The consumer goods sector as a whole is currently trading at a TTM price-to-earnings ratio of 20.9, a price to book value of 124, and a price-to-free cash flow ratio of 13.8. The sector also offers an average dividend yield of 2.9%.
So, are there any good stock on offer in the sector?
Yes, in fact there are. The first is well known cereal producer Kellogg (NYSE: K). Kellogg's may not be undervalued right now, as it trades at a P/E of around 25, but the company is expected to produce earnings growth of 6.6% this year, putting it on a forward P/E ratio of 15 -- below the sector average. In addition, the company offers its investors a 2.8% dividend yield, around the same as the sector average.
The second company on offer in the sector is ConAgra Foods (NYSE: CAG). Once again the company is in line to be the cheapest stock in the sector when it reports earnings for this year, as the company currently trades at a forward P/E ratio of 13.5. The company offers its investors a 3% dividend yield, and is expected to grow its earnings per share by 16% next year.
Both Kellogg and ConAgra have the lowest forward P/E ratios in their S&P 500 sector:
Major drug manufacturers
Another sector that appears to have some stocks on offer is the S&P 500 major drug manufacturers sector.
The sector trades at an average TTM P/E multiple of 34.4, and at a forward P/E multiple of 16. Additionally, the sector trades at a P/B ratio of 3.4 and a price-to-free-cash ratio of 32.1. On average the sector offers a dividend yield of 3.1%.
So what's on offer?
Well firstly, Merck (NYSE: MRK) appears to be significantly undervalued when compared to its peers in the rest of the sector. The company currently trades at a TTM P/E ratio of 24.3 and a forward P/E ratio of 12.7. The company trades at a P/B ratio of 2.7 compared to the sector average of 3.4, and a price-to-free-cash ratio of 32.1. In addition, the company offers investors a 3.6% dividend yield, 0.5% above the sector average.
Merck's stock has been sold off after a bad first quarter and competition from generic versions of its treatments. However, the company still has a strong drug pipeline and more importantly, along with its first quarter results, the company announced a $15 billion share repurchase program - 10% of Merck's current market cap, which should put a spring in the company's step.
Secondly, Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) appears to be trading at the same low valuations as Merck. The company trades at a TTM P/E ratio of 20.6 and a forward P/E ratio of 12.5. The company trades at a P/B ratio of 2.5, below the sector average of 3.4 and a price-to-free-cash ratio of 24.2. Additionally, Pfizer offers investors a 3.3% dividend yield, above the sector average of 3.1%.
Pfizer has been sold off during the past few months after a poor first quarter. The company has been held back by falling sales of its cholesterol fighter Lipitor, which has been competing with cheaper generic versions of the drug. Overall, Pfizer's revenue fell 9% in the first quarter - 1% of that was due to the strong US dollar. However, the company is working hard to turn itself around and is selling down non-core divisions and has a strong pipeline of treatments for cancer, arthritis and blood clots. The company has also authorized a new $10 billion stock buyback program.
Compared to the rest of the S&P 500's major drug manufacturers sector, both Merck and Pfizer appear undervalued on a forward earnings multiple basis.
Although the market may seem overvalued and uncertain to some right now, by using the most simple of valuation methods its is possible to identify some stocks that are still undervalued in relation the the rest of their sectors.
Kellogg, ConAgra, Pfizer and Merck are all trading at discounts to their sector valuations and offer good opportunities for profit as the valuation gap closes.

(WMC-TV) - It is possible teachers could be packing heat in some Mid-South school districts after Governor Bill Haslam signed a new school security bill into law Thursday.
The sign on the schoolhouse door says it all: no guns allowed. The state recently passed a law to the contrary.
At the Memphis Education Association, Union president Keith Williams said he is unnerved by the thought of guns on a school campus.
"Please, please, please do not dump this on teachers because when it goes wrong who will be blamed? Teachers," said Williams. "I'll tell you this: where you tend to place guns somehow they wind up being used."
State representative G.A. Hardaway said domestic terrorism and gang warfare are a threat to school safety.
"The schools are a soft spot. Always have been," he said.
He co-sponsored the bill, but only after several revisions that specify a long list of which school personnel are allowed to carry.
"We've got to re-think our school security, our public safety as it directly impacts our children," said Hardaway.
By e-mail, the school district said their policy remains the same and that no guns allowed. Any change must come from the school board in collaboration with the police department.
Hardaway doubts anything will change in Memphis.
"Because what we've got in place is pretty much working. We have a security force. We have resource officers who are quite capable," he said.
As for Williams, he said schools may need more security, but he is cold on the idea of teachers packing heat.
"It's just not a well-thought out plan. It will not work. It should not work," he said.
The law outlines all the requirements and how it would work. Read more about it here.

"AU" - the symbol for gold on the Periodical Table of Elements
A valuable metal with a yellowish color
by Thou-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named July 27, 2005
The astronomical unit (AU or au or a.u. or rarely ua) is a unit of distance, approximately equal to the mean distance between Earth and Sun. The currently accepted value of the AU is 149,597,870,691 ± 30 metres (about 150 million kilometres or 93 million miles).
That star is x AU's away from Earth.

HAVING made little attempt to recruit AFL players from Ireland, Hawthorn heads a pack of clubs seeking to harvest an obvious, yet untapped source of new talent New Zealand.
Recruiting staff from Hawthorn, Geelong, Sydney and North Melbourne are heading to Christchurch this weekend to watch an under-20 carnival, with the 2008 premier keen to recruit players via the establishment of an international scholarship program.
Significantly, with the exception of Sydney, the clubs that are heading to New Zealand this week have not been major players in the more popular and arguably expensive Irish market for Gaelic footballers.
The Hawks are believed to have held discussions with the New Zealand AFL, the AFL-funded body that runs the fledgling Australian football operation in New Zealand, with a view to running a junior program in the neighbouring country and setting up an international scholarship scheme.
While Ireland has byfar the best track record of producing international players, some within the football industry view New Zealand, with its close geographic and cultural connections, as a potential new frontier that is less compromised by the tyranny of distance.
This weekend's carnival pits half a dozen under-20 teams, with a standard that has been compared to the lower divisions of suburban football.
Hawthorn actually boasts three players with Kiwi heritage on their list New Zealand-born Trent Croad, Brent Renouf and Shane Savage.
All three players have a Kiwi parent but spent the bulk of their childhoods in Australia.
AFL clubs have already sought to explore South Africa and even Fiji (the Western Bulldogs) in addition to Ireland and now New Zealand.
The AFL is encouraging them to invest in football in these countries with a view to promoting the game and producing players.
Hawthorn declined to comment on its New Zealand plans last night.

I really liked this one! The design of the demons was really great! The necronomicon joke...well....I lol'd. The face he made after he dropped the deuce was priceless. The only thing I would mention is a consistency issue. The Head Demon burned a long scratch in the front door of the outhouse, but in the next frame of the outhouse, the scratch wasn't there. What up with that? Anyway, well done, team! Well done!

Microsoft launches iPad trade-in promotion
Summary: Microsoft is launching a limited-time iPad trade-in offer in its brick-and-mortar Microsoft Stores.
Microsoft is kicking up a notch its competition with Apple's iPad with a new, limited time trade-in offer.
"Trade in your iPad, Get a min. $200 gift card," according to the deal, outlined on the Microsoft Online store site. The gift card may be used towards the purchase of a Microsoft Surface or other products available through the Microsoft Store.
The deal actually kicked off September 5 and runs until October 27, 2013. According to the fine print, the deal is available in "select Microsoft retail stores in US (including Puerto Rico) and Canada" but isn't available online.
The qualifying trade-in devices are "gently used" iPad 2,3 or 4s.
Microsoft has been stepping up its focus on Apple as the main target for Windows 8-based devices, including its own Surfaces, as well as select OEM devices. Microsoft has been emphasizing the business-readiness of Windows 8 devices, as well as their lower prices vis-a-vis iPads with a series of recent ads. Microsoft launched a back-to-school-focused anti-iPad ad earlier this summer.
Best Buy ran its own $200-off iPad trade-in promotion earlier this summer.
(Thanks to Johan van Mierlo for the tip on the trade-in program.)

Categories > Books > Harry Potter > The Accidental Harem
Summer 1 Part 81 Reviews
The end of the Potter World Tour, and don't you love it when a plan comes together?
And thank you, Gandalf the Green, for my series' very first Omake. I've arrived!
Over the following week, in between fencing 'lessons', trips to the movies, and the occasional if inevitable homework interval, Harry and Hermione tried to figure out what Narcissa Malfoy was trying to do. None of the other wives told Hermione that they had any ideas- okay, any printable ideas- and no harm had come to any of them in the meantime despite Lucius' less-than-warm welcome.
"Why did she say that what she gave us would cheer us up? I mean, her gifts cheer me up, but why the rest of you?" Harry decided to try a different approach to the question.
"Mum and Dad have been honest to me about sex, so far as they think I understand it," Hermione responded, seeing a possible idea. "There are women who prefer the company of women, and men who prefer men. But they're supposed to be a pretty small minority. On the other hand, there are eleven of us girls; maybe she figured that one of us had to be that way."
"Wait… so she thinks one of you will leave me for her?" The gloom that Harry felt whenever he pondered the prospect of losing his wives returned anew.
"I can't imagine ever leaving you," Hermione said with fervor.
That stopped the conversation for a while, as Harry hugged Hermione tight and whispered a "Thank you" in her ear. Hermione responded in kind.
"Harry, I don't think she wants to split us up directly so much as she wants us to start arguing with each other. We start thinking others are thinking about being disloyal. Then we start yelling whenever we have differences. Then we start fighting, and break up. That would do more damage than just having one wife leave."
"That sounds terrible! How do we stop it?" Harry was almost yelling in alarm.
"Calm down, Harry. I trust you. The rest of your wives trust you. After we get back to Hogwarts, we'll be able to talk to each other at any time," Hermione said soothingly.
"Alright, Hermione," Harry conceded. "I just wish I knew what was going on."
"Well, maybe the Patils know something I don't, and they can tell you on Sunday when you go over there," Hermione stated. "I'll ask the parents if I can stay for a night."
On the sixteenth, Emmitt and Danielle took the children to see Chandra and Priya Patil. Their restaurant was in Kensington, not too far from the Grangers' home or from Kings' Cross, where Harry and the other wives would need to gather on 1st September.
The Patils refused to allow the Grangers to pay for dinner that evening, where they pulled out all the stops to give them the best meal possible. (Maybe they tried a little too hard. Emmitt's and Danielle's tongues were burning for three days afterward.) Parvati and Padma hugged Harry as soon as he arrived, making him feel a little better.
That evening Parvati and Padma joined Harry and Hermione in discussing The Great Narcissa Mystery.
"We're not going to leave you, Harry," the red-clad Parvati promised. "We think she's trying…"
"To distract you from something. But obviously," the blue-clad Padma continued.
"She would have a better idea of what than we would," Parvati finished.
"How did you do that?" Harry interjected.
"Do what?" Padma and Parvati chorused.
"Finish each other's sentences like that," Hermione responded. "How did you understand each other's thoughts that quickly?"
"Madam Pomfrey told us that magical siblings," Parvati started.
"Have a mental connection that allows them to understand each other's general patterns of thought," Padma explained.
"That connection is much stronger in twins, and it's even present in Muggle twins," Parvati went on.
"She said that it's a sign that there was once a time when everyone could do magic, but that was just her belief," Padma concluded.
"Wow. What would life be like then?" Hermione thought.
"It'd probably be very strange," Padma agreed.
"But I don't know if it's really true. Maybe it's a sign that there was no magic until not too long ago," Parvati argued.
"But Hogwarts has been around for over 1000 years," Harry said.
"I did say it was just a theory. On the other hand, humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years. Magic might be new compared to that," Padma contended.
"I think we've gotten off the subject," said Hermione.
"True," Parvati conceded. "But you have to admit that it's still kind of interesting."
"Besides, it's not like we're making much progress here. Maybe a random thought will trigger an idea of what she's up to." With Padma's statement, the four went to their separate rooms.
Over the next two weeks, Harry started to help the twins out at the restaurant. He carried plates, worked the register, and occasionally helped make dishes. ("Harry, if the magic doesn't work out, I think we could use you as a chef," Priya said. Harry beamed with pleasure.) The Patils expected the kids to work and paid them for their time and trouble, giving Harry the first Muggle money he'd ever had. He used it to get new shirts and jeans and to buy little gifts for his wives, such as new Muggle books for Hermione's impending birthday and soft pillows for Mandy, who had complained that the Hogwarts ones were too firm.
On the 30th of August, Harry finally thought of a possible solution to the mystery. "That's it!" he cried.
"What's it, Harry?" asked Parvati and Padma together.
"I think I've got an idea of what the Malfoys might try to do. They know I'll have to be at Kings' Cross the day after tomorrow. They know we'll all have to be there at eleven. Maybe they'll try to attack us!"
"That sounds…" Padma said very slowly.
"Disturbingly plausible," Parvati finished. "We need to arrive early then, and to stick together."
"Can you call the other wives and see if they can all bring the other wives to The Leaky Cauldron tomorrow night?"
"Yes, we'll definitely do that. Thanks, Harry," Padma said.
"Thank me when we're all safe and sound," Harry said grimly.
So why did Narcissa present Harry with her gifts? As it happened, she was just coming down from one of those reasons.
The connections created with wizarding photos allow for a limited amount of emotional feedback. In other words, people at either end of the connection can get a general sense of the emotions felt by those at the other end. Even deceased people in wizarding photos can respond to summonses from the living if they are urgent enough.
Narcissa had copies of the pictures hanging on the walls of her boudoir. Since Lucius hadn't entered it in years, that was considered quite safe. (Besides, she thought, Lucius is so wrapped up in himself that he might not think having dozens of pictures of yourself in your bedroom would be unusual.) The emotion Narcissa meant to excite was obvious- but she didn't expect quite this much of it. Instead of getting a warm glow every few hours, she was finding herself excited to orgasm at least twice a day. She could not have imagined that Harry, growing up in such a straight-laced Muggle household, would have given the photos to his wives, but that was the only conclusion that she could reach from the amount of emotion that had poured through the pictures.
Still, she had received more satisfaction in the last month than she had throughout her entire marriage to date, and that was reason enough for her to supply them. When her heartbeat and pulse returned to normal, she called Dobby out and requested the instructions his master had given him for the 1st. When she heard them in detail, she smiled again. Lucius' plan was going to work out perfectly- for her. For him, not so much.
The only wife who couldn't arrive at the Leaky Cauldron on the evening of the 31st was Millicent, who couldn't get a floo connection from Somerset until early the next morning. The others were all in rooms by nine o'clock that evening, and Professor Sinistra happened to be passing through shortly thereafter.
"Professor! Professor!" Harry called out. "I'm glad to see you again."
"Now there's an odd statement," Sinistra said with amusement. "Didn't you enjoy your summer?"
"Yes, we did," Harry said while smiling. "But we've had some interesting things happen over the summer. Not necessarily bad things, but just things we're wondering about. Have you heard anything about the Malfoys?"
"Not to my knowledge, Harry," Professor Sinistra said. "He's still head of the Board of Governors, but they haven't changed the school rules this summer. What have you heard about them?"
"We ran into them at Lockhart's book signing. He wasn't a very happy man, and he was trying to make us uneasy," Harry explained.
"He does enjoy that. I've seen enough of him at the Board's functions," said Sinistra.
"We got the impression that he was going to do something bad, but we have no idea what," Harry said, recognizing just how little his family had figured out. "There may be something happening tomorrow at Kings' Cross, although he didn't say there was."
"It's kind of hard to know what to do with that little to go on."
"I wish I knew more, but watch out for him. Maybe they'll listen to you instead of a bunch of kids when something strange happens," Harry pleaded.
"I'll be careful, and I'll tell Professor Trelawney to be careful. See you tomorrow," finished Sinistra. Harry headed upstairs to his room, and fell asleep shortly thereafter.
The next morning, Millicent arrived at the Leaky Cauldron at 8:30. Rather than take any chances, they all immediately headed for Kings' Cross, accepting a couple of hours' boredom as the price of safety. They arrived just before nine, not noticing the small visitor trailing them.
Harry and the Patils were the first to walk up to the barrier between platforms nine and ten… which stayed obstinately solid. Backing up and walking faster produced the same result. And again. Each of the girls tried the barrier, without success.
"This must be it! Now what do we do?" wailed Hermione.
"We just keep trying and waiting. This barrier can't stay up for very long without someone else noticing," Lisa said, logically enough.
By 9:25, a small crowd was gathered at the wall separating the two platforms. Several more families had arrived at the barrier, only to find it refusing to give. Out of the corner of his eye, Harry spotted a red-haired boy and girl- at least one of them a Gryffindor, if the stickers on their trunks were any gauge- leaving the building. He shrugged.
Finally, a policeman came over. "What are you all waiting for?" he asked.
"There's a problem with the…" Millicent started, but then stopped- a Muggle policeman couldn't be much help with a magical barrier.
Just then, a pair of wizards came through the crowd to the barrier. "Sorry, but we've just gotten word from the Express wondering why no one's come aboard. They opened the train's doors at nine. What seems to be the problem?"
"None of us can get through the barrier," said Lisa.
The two men felt the wall, pulled out some odd instruments, and finally gave it a good solid whack apiece. "Ah, I see the problem here. You've got an Obstruction Jinx here. Pretty powerful one. House-elf magic."
"Can you fix it?" asked Hermione anxiously.
"Sure we can. You don't think we aren't prepared for house-elf accidents, do you? Maxie, Birtsy, do your worst."
Two house elves in purple Ministry of Magic livery popped out of… somewhere, shielded from general sight by the two wizards. They made some sort of complex figures in the air, and within a minute, a loud pop signaled that their work was done.
"Thank you, gentlemen! Thanks, Maxie, Birtsy," said Megan and several others as the crowd started working its way through the barrier. A Memory Charm was cast on the bobby who had watched the crowd gather and then dissipate, and by 9:35, Kings' Cross looked like it did every September 1st. The Hogwarts Express departed without further incident.
Omake: Saying One Thing and Meaning Your Mother (my title)
"Potter! When my father gets through with you..."
"Oh please. Draco, All I have to do is floo your mother and your father will
be a whipped puppy."
"What in Merlin's name are you blabbering about now?"
"You mean you don't know?" At Draco's continued look of confusion, Harry
continued, "Not only did my dad shag your mom back when they were in
Hogwarts, after he married mum she took up with half the rest of the
Quidditch team."
"You lie!" Draco shouted thinking that Harry was just talking smack.
"Not at all. She confessed to boffing my dad after I shagged her a few weeks
after my birthday. She even showed me a few pictures of her, mum and dad in
Hogsmeade together, and one that had the three of them being, shall we say,
very friendly? Sissy gave me a diary from back then that said she had hopes
of being second wife, since it was obvious that mum would be first."

Very nice work! I love to look at watercolors, but I'm an acrylic painter. =) Tried oils first, because my great grandmother used them, but they took too long to set. Been meaning to paint an acrylic map at some point, but I got my tablet and now I'm kinda stuck in the digital realm. And that blasted shadow box script! Jeez. I spent like two hours trying to get rid of that when I updated my blog. haha!
Oh, and... 'physical' painting (or any medium, really) is often referred to as traditional.

Here's a fun new twist on the traditional Advent calendar: a forest full of paper cones that hide tiny treasures.Download A Cone-iferous Advent Template
If you're using stiff paper, such as card stock, use double-sided tape instead of glue to secure the cone. Reinforce the inside seam with scotch tape.
Download our templates (each is one third of a circle) and cut out cones from green paper (we made trees in three sizes and several shades). Run a glue stick along one straight edge of a paper shape, then roll it into a cone. Clamp the glued edge with a clothespin until the glue dries. Make the other 23 trees.
Cut or punch out 24 (1-inch) paper circles and write the numbers 1 through 24 on them. Glue the circles to the trees. Add a star made of silver paper to the top of the 24th tree.
Wrap small gifts, such as candies, erasers, tiny figures, rubber bracelets, and toy balls in tissue paper, and place them underneath the cones. Or hide homemade coupons for special favors — pizza for dinner, an outing to the playground — instead of the treats.

Mayan Documentary Will Show Evidence of Alien Contact
"Revelations of the Mayans 2012 and Outside of," currently in production, will claim the Mayans had make contact with with extraterrestrials, producer Raul Julia-Levy uncovered to TheWrap.
"Mexico will release codices, artifacts and significant files with evidence of Mayan and extraterrestrial make contact with, and all of their info will be corroborated by archaeologists," said Julia-Levy, son of actor Raul Julia.
In a release to TheWrap, Luis Augusto Garcia Rosado, the minister of tourism for the Mexican state of Campeche, said new evidence has emerged "of get in touch with amongst the Mayans and extraterrestrials, supported by translations of certain codices, which the authorities has held secure in underground vaults for some time."
He also spoke, in a telephone conversation, of "landing pads in the jungle that are 3,000 years outdated."
Raul-Julia claims there is proof that the Mayans had intended to direct the world for hundreds of years, but have been pressured to escape following an invasion by "guys of darkish intentions," leaving behind evidence of an advanced race.
"The Mexican government is not making this statement on their very own -- everything we say, we are going to again it up," he explained.

Fed Update: Issues With Data Dependence
A: Wow, wow, wow. This morning started off with an unwelcome Core CPI rise of 0.3%, exceeding estimates of 0.2%. Fed Funds futures briefly trade beyond 100% in predicting a June rate hike.
According to CNN Money article:
The core CPI now is up 2.4 percent over the last 12 months. That's well above the target of a 1 to 2 percent 12-month rise in the core CPI which is traditionally seen as within the Fed's comfort level.
Fed Chief Bernanke has said repeatedly over the past few months that future monetary policy will be more 'data-dependent', sending shivers down the spines of investors and traders because if there is one thing the markets don't like, its uncertainty!
Now, the Core CPI data that came out this morning resulted in the fed funds futures contracts briefly going beyond the 100% mark in pricing in another rate hike at June's meeting! Thats bad for all those laymen out there with credit debt or adjustable rate mortgage products. The reason why 'data-dependent' judgement has issues is because technically speaking this Core CPI reading released this morning (which is showing a rise in inflation pressure) is really the result of monetary policy/economic activity from 9-12 months ago!
I talk about this alot here on UrbanDigs. US Economic data is lagging, meaning it is reported from data that happened months ago, yet the fed is monitoring it today and making monetary policy calls from it that won't have an affect for at least another 9-12 months! Get it? This is why the fed is stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Super high energy prices and precious metal prices from the periods of OCT 2005 - PRESENT are yet to show their ugly face in economic readings. Meanwhile the fed has no choice but to act on data it gets. The next 2 meetings are sure to be tough on equities investors and adjustable debt holders as more rate hikes are on the horizon. Even if the fed does pause, it is very possible that future data still will show the effects of past higher energy prices/commodities prices and will result in more rate hikes anyway.
WHAT THE FED SHOULD DO: Raise 1/2 point! Get it over with, issue a clearer statement saying the fed will now PAUSE and watch the effects of monetary policy. That will make everyone happy and prove that Bernanke is tough on inflation.
WHAT THE FED PROBABLY WILL DO: Raise 1/4 point and issue another 'data-dependent' speech in which 'further policy tightening might be needed' to combat inflation pressures.
EFFECT ON STOCKS: Interest rate hikes in general are bad for equities as the fed acts to hinder economic growth. Stocks are forward/leading indicators and as such will price in a slowdown in advance of it actually happening. Just look at the last 2 weeks and ask any stockholder how it is to own equities in inflation fearing times. There's an old saying in the stock market world, "Don't Fight The Fed"!
EFFECT ON US DOLLAR: As interest rates rise, the US dollar & fixed assets become much more attractive;. Short term CD rates right now are about 5.41% for a 1YR CD at Countrywide Bank. Not too shabby. Expect CD rates to continue to rise even AFTER the fed pauses. So, if you are going to invest in a CD, take out a short term one, 6 months say, and then lock in a higher rate when that expires!

"Following his time with the a cappella act The Nylons, Micah Barnes has found his own voice, that of a highly personal singer/songwriter with a strong jazz sensibility."
- Montreal Mirror
Having cut his teeth in the cabarets and jazz clubs of Toronto while still a teenager Micah became a well loved singer songwriter on the Queen Street scene before joining The Nylons and touring the world. Recording with the A Capella Pop act brought Micah into the global music scene and landed him in Venice Beach, California where he launched a solo career touring the U.S.which led to his #1 international club hit "Welcome To My Head" and coverage in Rolling Stone Magazine as "an Indie artist to watch".
Returning to the jazz oriented songwriting of his earlier years has resulted in a series of critically acclaimed solo recordings including his most recent "Domesticated", which saw Micah returning to tour across Canada solo and with his trio.
Micah's upcoming collection "New York Stories",(due fall 2014), pays homage to the rich musical history of the Big Apple with songs that describe a long distance romance using the rhythms of the Cotton Club, the Brill Building, The Apollo Theatre and classic Broadway. The recordings are stripped down in classic jazz style with Micah at the piano performing live off the floor with his trio featuring Daniel Barnes on drums and Russ Boswell on bass. On this recording The Micah Barnes Trio is joined by special guest Michael Shand on keys and features a duet with the legendary Jackie Richardson. The results are an assured collection of deeply personal and sophisticated songs that remind us that, like Micah's musical heroes Tony Bennett, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits and Ray Charles, the deepest of musical traditions are always contemporary.
Micah is also a highly respected vocal coach having just wrapped up coaching Golden Globe nominated actress Tatiana Maslani on the hit BBC America series "Orphan Black". For further coaching information please check http://www.singersplayground.com
