Comments Thread For: Rakhim Chakhkiev in Line For Masternak Showdown
According to Vyacheslav Karakash, the manager of highly regarded 2008 Beijing heavyweight gold medalist Rakhim Chakhkiev, his protégé is on the verge of fighting for the European cruiserweight crown after being nominated as the mandatory challenger for the prestigious blue belt.
Our promoter Waldemar Kluch told us that he was starting negotiations for Rakhim to take part in the continental title fight, said Karakash to Allboxing.ru. Rakhim is presently in his native Ingushetia. He will start the active stage of his preparations for the upcoming fight in a week.

They shouldn't fight each other yet.
I'd sooner Masternak and Chakhkiev clean out the cruiserweight division first, then fight each other in late 2014 or in 2015.

Nooo! My two favourite up & coming Cruisers.
Agree with Freedom, they should go separate ways and meet up at a later date when they have a world title a piece.

Damn definitely my two favorite CW up and comers facing off so soon, it'll be a barnburner thats for sure.
I agree with both of y'all, it is too soon for this match to come off, it needs to marinate a bit. Hopefully it is a great fight and it leaves room for a rematch/trilogy later on when they can both make some good money off of it.

u have two strong undefeated contenders willing to face eachother and u guys complain? i don't see any problem with this fight...the winner would be well deserving of a title shot
i've only seen masternak fight once on the undercard of kessler-green against a journeyman and i wasn't impressed...he isn't as big a puncher as people make him out to be
chakhkiev looks to be the real deal to me and I'm glad he's getting this opportunity...I think he'll win convincingly

A man was arrested after attempting to make meth near Riverside High School, according to State Police.
Troopers said they found Ronnie Lee Thomas, Jr., 29, of Rand, in the wooded area between Riverside High School and Midland Trail Elementary School.
Police said Thomas' pregnant girlfriend was with him.
Troopers said they spotted a green Ford Explorer near the school early Thursday morning. They stopped to make sure the vehicle wasn't broken down. Police walked to the bottom of the hill and approached Thomas, who was directly behind the football field. Troopers said the man was trying to cook meth in a bottle.
Thomas will be charged with attempting to operate a meth lab, unlawful possession of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school, and possession of sudafedrin in an altered state.
Troopers said they will submit the pregnant woman's information to Kanawha County prosecutors, who will then consider whether to give her information to the grand jury for possible indictment.

VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — A Vancouver teen has pleaded guilty to stealing his father's gun and taking it to school.
The Columbian reports (http://bit.ly/XFS9nh ) 15-year-old Wyatt Michael Ball pleaded guilty Tuesday to theft and possessing a dangerous weapon on school grounds. He'll return to court Dec. 28 to be evaluated and possibly sentenced.
Ball took the disassembled rifle-shotgun combination to Evergreen High School last Wednesday to sell it to another student. A teacher looked into the carrying case and saw the weapon, which prompted the school to evacuate.
No one was threatened.

Awareness about the changing use of language isn't just limited to speakers of English, who may lament the loss of old words and the inclusion of new words like 'selfie' in the Oxford English Dictionary. Users of British Sign Language (BSL) are being faced with unprecedented change in their language, with some loss of regional variations in signs, and a gap between the older and younger generations emerging.

Digging into Signs
Ten international research funders from four countries jointly have announced the winners of the third Digging into Data Challenge, a competition to develop new insights, tools and skills in innovative humanities and social science research using large-scale data analysis.
Fourteen teams representing Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States will receive grants to investigate how computational techniques can be applied to "big data"; changing the nature of humanities and social sciences research. Each team represents collaborations among scholars, scientists, and information professionals from leading universities and libraries in Europe and North America.
One of these teams is a collaboration between DCAL's Kearsy Cormier and Onno Crasborn (Radboud University, Nijmegen) to develop annotation standards for sign language corpora, using the British Sign Language Corpus and the Corpus NGT (i.e. a corpus of Sign Language of the Netherlands).

Cochlear Implants and Sign Language:
Sign language and speech reading are thought to cause the deaf brain to reorganise in a way which makes cochlear implants (CI) ineffective, and clinicians often advise against using visual language with deaf children. This is a problem as the visual modality is the only way in which deaf children (without CI or hearing aid) can access language. Researchers at DCAL have examined the evidence for this advice. Studies reporting links between sign language use and poor outcome with CI often confuse other factors such as age and how long a person has been deaf for with the effect of sign language. There is more convincing evidence that visual language experience improves CI outcome, and that the effects of early language deprivation are permanent and severe. Research, particularly with animals, has caused researchers and clinicians to think about CI outcome only in terms of auditory development. Here, we emphasize the role of language development in contributing to CI outcome. More...

CHICAGO (AP) -- Russell Wilson connected with Sidney Rice on a 13-yard touchdown with 7:33 left in overtime to lift the Seattle Seahawks to a wild 23-17 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
Unbeaten in five home games, the Seahawks finally figured a way to win on the road after dropping five of their first six, and knocked off the NFC North leaders in the process.
This one sure was dramatic.
Seattle took a short-lived lead late in regulation on Wilson's 14-yard pass to Golden Tate, only to watch the Bears' Robbie Gould boot a 46-yard field goal as time expired to send it into OT.
The Seahawks (7-5) got their only other road win at Carolina.

Made this for our family of four adults, and thought it was excellent. Everyone really liked it. We made it with 28 oz of stewed tomatoes instead of 56 ounces of diced tomatoes -- because we didn't have exactly what the recipe called for. It didn't seem to hurt the recipe any!

The provolone pushed this to the top. We skipped the celery as usual.

The only change I made was to add a few more herbs to the ricotta mixture and use sun dried tomatoes in oil (couldn't find them the other way). It was great, though.

My husband is a 'meat' fan, so I added some Turkey Italian Sausage, removed from the skin and cooked until brown, it was excellent!

Really savory, cheesy, and delicious. Feels like I'm getting away with something. Makes a TON of food, so be ready to have some fantastic leftovers! I replaced the celery with asparagus (personal preference), and everything went swimmingly. :D

This is very good. Husband ate 3 helpings and asked me to pack the leftovers for his lunch. Followed the recipe and served it with a salad. It was an easy meatless recipe--perfect for Lent, which is when I made it. Definitely recommend.

The last thing I expected of a story about Hugh Hefner was that it would be boring, yet this author spends so much time on cultural influences that it's more like a textbook than an engaging life story.
I thoroughly enjoyed this well written book. A. Scott Berg interjects the story of Katharine Hepburn's life and career with anecdotes of his own personal friendship with the legendary actress, giving the book a wonderful balance.
Thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end.

The Wonderful Wallaby!
One of my all time favorite patterns is The Wonderful Wallaby by Cottage Creations. While it's true that the Wallaby is cozy and classic and the construction is beautifully engineered, the thing that makes this pattern my favorite is the charm and accessibility of the writing and illustrations.
You will be cheered through your Wallaby by encouraging tidbits like, "TREAT YOURSELF Take time to try on your Wonderful Wallaby, it feels so GOOD! Your Wallaby won't mind if tried on with needles remaining in the yarn!" You will love the homey drawings of knitting kangaroos, like grandma kangaroo knitting her Wallaby from yarn stored in her pouch (I wish I had that!). The pattern is also clearly written, very explanatory and 100% mistake free.
The Wonderful Wallaby is sized for toddlers age two all the way up to adult super size. My son, Bear, is only 13 months old, but he's really tall, and I just couldn't wait another year to knit him his own Wallaby. I love knowing that he'll get lots of wear out of it.
The Materials
- The Wonderful Wallaby Pattern which you can find at this link.
- For this size I needed 3 skeins of Spud & Chloe's Sweater yarn, 55% Superwash Wool, 45% Organic Cotton. This color is "Ice Cream", knit at 4 1/2 stitches to the inch. (For yarn quatities for larger sizes please check the pattern.)
- 1 skein of Koigu's Kersti Merino Crepe, 100 % Merino Wool. This color is #822.
- A US #8, 24 inch circular needle.
- A set of US #8 double pointed needles.
- An extra pair of US #8 needles, either straight or any length circular. (These extra needles are for knitting the pocket.)
- 4 stitch holders (or scrap yarn).
- 4 stitch markers (or scrap yarn).
It's great that Spud & Chloe's Sweater yarn is machine washable and really soft, but mostly I love that the blend of wool and organic cotton truly makes this sweater year round. To add a little fun, I knit a stripe of multi-colored Kersti every fifth round. (By the way, the Kersti is also machine washable.) Adding this stripe does complicate the pattern in some places (like the pocket), so I wouldn't recommend it if you are a beginner knitter, but otherwise I thought the challenge was totally worth it.
Another materials note: The pattern uses US #6 needles for the ribbed edges which really draws in the bottom hem and cuffs. I wanted Bear's Wallaby to be a little looser fitting and so just used my #8's for everything. Be sure to have a smaller 24 inch circular needle and double pointed's on hand if you want to be a faithful follower of the directions.
The Wonderful Wallaby is such a perfect sweater that I'm going to make sure Bear is never without one. I hope I like his college colors! --Whitney

Hi Becky,
You can find the pattern at this link!
I'm following up on some of the other posts – how did you knit the stripes? Can you share a picture of the inside?
I love the wallaby and I have been looking for a crochet wallaby pattern, can this be converted to crochet? Are there any patterns out there for the crochet wallaby?
I notice the stripes do not extend into the garter stitch placket. It looks wonderful! How did you do that?
I have knit several of these sweaters, and I have always knit the stockinette hood. The garter stitch hood on yours looks wonderful!
Hi Cynthia,
I remember that stopping the stripes short of the garter stitch placket (and pocket edges) was a little bit complicated. I worked with two balls of the main color and knit just as you would an intarsia pattern. I recall some moments of having to do a little improvisational knitting, but it sounds like you might have enough experience to go for it!
Thanks so much for your comments and question!
Hi I was wondering about the stripes do you hold the yarn for the stripes double since it is such a smaller yarn then the Spud and Chole or is it ok just to knit it as normal on the size eight needles?
Thanks so much
Hi Nicole D,
No, you don't need to double the Kersti. True, it is a bit thinner than the Spud & Chloe, but since you're only knitting one round, you really don't notice!
Thanks for your question!
This post inspired me to attempt the Wallaby, my first non-scarf project, and I've just finished it after many dedicated nights and YouTube videos. I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out, and of course, my two-year-old couldn't look more adorable in it. Thank you!
Hello! I came across this pattern in May and have been working on it off and on for my cousin's son. I'm loving it so far!
However, I have one question on the arm placement. I'm making the smallest size, 2T, using Blue Sky Worsted Cotton (in Nut) and the stripes in Manos Maxima (in Beehive). My gauge is a little off, 8 st/in as opposed to 9, but I'm working with it. The pattern calls for the arms to be placed 8" from the start of the work, which is, in my case, right after the pouch was fused. I'm worried that this will make the body short, so am going to knit at least one more inch and see where it lands, but wanted to see what you suggest. Thank you!
Hi Kari,
Sounds beautiful! There's really little harm that can come from adding an inch or two to the body length, and I'd rather a bit long than a bit short. I say, unless you can easily measure your cousin's son, go with your gut on this one!
Thanks so much for asking!
I am on my eighth sweater now. I love making them. Although this is my first adult sweater. I have an request for another adult one as soon as I finish this one. My three grandchildren each have one or two. They are wonderful. As they grow out of their size, I pass it on to someone else's grandchildren. Guess I will be making them for a while.
Has anyone knitted this sweater with a zipper? If so, I would really appreciate a link with directions to do so! I have never knit a sweater with a zipper, but the boyfriend has requested it and I am excited to try.
Thank you!
I love the Wallaby, and the pattern. I knit a size 2 for my son, and am now working on the next size up for the fall. I have stalled out, though, b/c last time, I ended up with some quite large 'holes' under the arms where I picked up stitches. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Or if there is a tutorial out there for this I would love to know. I don't have the pattern in front of me, so can't remember exactly what it is called, but I know I didn't love how it looked under the arms, and couldn't figure out how to darn/ fix after the fact. Any info you have is greatly appreciated.
Hi Sarah,
That is a classic problem! You're talking about grafting the underarm stitches together with the Kitchener Stitch and having two holes left on either side. I always make sure to leave long tails when I cut and join the yarn at the underarms and then use those tails to sew the holes closed (I sew in a sort of circular pattern around the hole and it closes up nicely, but this took a lot of experimenting to figure out!).
Something that occurs to me (that I've never done) is that, when you're knitting the sleeves onto the body, you could pick up stitches on either side of the underarm stitches to help fill in those gaps. It would disrupt your stitch count, of course, but that shouldn't be a big problem.
I hope all this helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions and thanks for this great one!
Thank you for the advice Whitney. Yes, it is holes left from the grafting! I now feel brave enough to hook the sleeves on and finish off the project. I will let you know how it goes.
Actually I was wondering if the Blue Sky Worsted Cotton would work? I wanted to make this for my neice and I'm not sure how many skiens I would need in the Blue sky to make this – she is 2
Thank you!
HI Brooke,
Blue Sky's Worsted Cotton would be a great choice for the Wallaby! At 4 1/2 stitches to the inch it will be a bit dense, but cozy.
You will need 720 yards for size 2, which for the Worsted Cotton means 5 skeins.
Thanks so much for asking! I hope you enjoy knitting your Wallaby; it's so fun!
How many grams were your skiens?
Hi Meg-
The Spud and Chloe "Sweater" yarn is 100 grams and the "Kersti" is 50 grams. But we recommend using the yardage and gauge as a guide if you are planning on substituting materials. All of the info for the yarn can be found by clicking on the links in the materials section.
Thank you!
I have made 14 Wallabys – I just love them! There is a new booklet from Cottage creations for a wallaby cardigan – it's called Kyler"s Kardigan

French midfielder Pogba, 19, was considered one of the outstanding talents to emerge from the club's Academy in recent years but his future was consistently questioned last year as he rejected offers of a new deal at Old Trafford.
Now Ferguson has announced the formal end of his time at United, telling MUTV: "Pogba signed for Juventus a long time ago as far as we're aware."
United had presented improved terms - and a promise of improved first-team opportunities - to Pogba, but he was not swayed.
The news left Ferguson, who had nevertheless been expecting the decision, fuming.
"(It) is disappointing. I don't think he showed us any respect at all so, to be honest," he said.
"I'm quite happy that if they carry on that way, they're probably better doing it away from us."
Pogba arrived at United from Le Havre in 2009 - a move that infuriated the French side at the time.
He went on to make just seven first-team appearances for the Red Devils, all last season and all from the substitutes' bench.
Three of those came in the Barclays Premier League and three in the Carling Cup, with a solitary Europa League match in a 2-1 defeat to Athletic Bilbao.
Check out the latest moves in the Premier League at Transfer Central.
Pogba is the second highly-rated young player to leave the club this year after the prodigiously talented but controversial Ravel Morrison was allowed to join West Ham in January.
The future of a third, Ezekiel Fryers, is unclear.
He has also been offered a new contract but has yet to inform United of his decision.
"We haven't heard anything from Zeki Fryers," added Ferguson.
"I don't know what's happening there but he's not been in touch with the club. His agent hasn't been in touch with the club and I can only assume he'll be back for training."

Found November 13, 2012 on Kukla's Korner:
PLAYERS: Gary Bettman
from Jeff MacGregor of ESPN, And in the whole, long history of disasters and capitalism, has there ever been a bigger disaster than the National Hockey League or its mortician, Gary Bettman? The decommissioner has managed in just 20 years to make the league invisible. An afterthought. An unfunny punch line to a joke no one recalls. By his own accounting, the league is poised on the brink of insolvency. Again. Still. A constant invalid. Bettman's legacy will be $60 million league "relocation fees," a shell game of mishandled franchises and indifferent cities, ineptitude and cupidity and a National Hockey League too big in fact and too small in the imagination. And a long history of bungled union-busting. On behalf of his owners, whenever the CBA comes up for renewal it has been Bettman's practice to bring a gun to what should be a butter knife fight. And even those fights he loses. The game staggers on. In arenas built by taxpayers. All due respect to t...

Specialist parts manufacturers like Asus, Gigabyte, Antec and Zalman are a far better bet than any branded system where you have to cross your fingers and hope the parts are all good.

Hi, I'm Jaden, a professional recipe developer, food columnist and food photographer specializing in fast, fresh and easy recipes for the home cook. Most of my recipes are modern Asian! About meFast, fresh & easy recipes for the home cook.
Wednesday, March 5, 2008
I know that you've not known me that long, but you've gotta believe that when I squeal in excitement like a monkey in heat – it's good. Real good.
See those cards? My photos, my designs, and inside? My recipes!
Ok, ok. Let me share with you how I did it, because it was sooo easy and you could do the same. OMG, where do I start? I'll just show you.
All you have to do is:
The company called Send Out Cards prints, stuffs, stamps and sends out your card. No licking envelopes, finding a stamp or buying ugly greeting cards at the store.
And a few days later, your recipient gets a real card in the mail. No more stupid spyware infected e-cards! YEAH!
The cost is 1/3 the cost of a greeting card at the store, starting at $0.31 for one card (meaning you don't have to buy in bulk. cards are professionally printed and sent one at a time)
They are glossy, thick (like the expensive Hallmark cards) and the photo quality is amazing. I customized the front of this one with, "Sunday Morning with the Boys."
This particular card I chose to be tri-fold and inserted more photos and told a story about how the boys made German Oven Pancakes. Basically, I turned my blog post into a beautiful card and sent it to my Mom, who loved it. This tri-fold card cost me $1.24 to make and send + $0.41 postage.
You send in your handwriting and signature. If you have messy chicken-scratch handwriting, you can use one of their fonts instead (like that one above). Insert a jpg of your business card if you want. This bi-fold card costs me $0.93 to make and send + $0.41 postage.
And noooo, I can't tell you what the rest of the card said!!!
No more licking stamps or trying to find an envelope.
|Forget food – put a pic of your cute pet or an old photo of your son at 4 months old flipping his Mama off.
He couldn't even say one word yet, but didn't need to, I guess. (yeah, that's Nathan)
There are over 12,000 frames, layouts, designs to choose from.
I just uploaded the booger-butt's photo, chose a frame to customize it. This postcard cost me $0.62 + $0.26 postage.
I thought this frame was cute for a postcard, because I couldn't find one that said,
"This is what I think of diaper rash."
|Blogs, emails and websites are nice, but there's just nothing like getting a real card in the mail.
E-cards just suck in general.
The Send Out Cards system is all web-based, and you can import in your contact database.
Create and send a card to 1 person or 1000 in less than a minute. The price per card is the same.
Thank you's, Christmas, birthdays, just because, business, etc.
Join me on a phone + web demonstration Monday March 10th evening 6:30pm PST/9:30pm EST. My friend, Jules and I will be doing a live demonstration of SendOutCards, the company who is responsible for this awesome card system. I'll be customizing the demo just for food bloggers.
For the demo, just listen in (you don't even have to talk!) and watch on the screen as we walk you step by step. I'll be giving you some of my points to send out cards of your own!
And yeah, I KNOW. SendOutCards corp website sucks. But I promise you that you will absolutely loooove my demo!
To keep the group small and manageable, I'm limiting it to just a handful of people on the line, so if you are interested, email me directly at [email protected] to RSVP and I'll forward you the web conference details. I do make nice little referral fee for anyone who want to use this system – which I am very, very happy to share right back to whoever participates in the call! (just send me some chocolates!)
You can send cards internationally, and I will have a separate call for people who live outside the U.S.
Can't wait to show you!!!
p.s. No, this isn't my big announcement….BUT I PROMISE, I'LL REVEAL THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT SOON. And to answer your emails that I've been getting:
I'm not pregnant
This card thing is NOT my company – THOUGH I wish it was cuz I'd be a gazillionaire!
Though the big announcement does involve a "Dear John" letter (not to my loving husband, of course) and I will announce it NEXT WEDNESDAY <– hint hint
nice card! i love to get one of those too Jade ;P
let's make t-shirts too! need some steamy kitchen merchandise
Great idea! Can't wait to try this out. Thanks, Jaden. Now all you need to do is send me a card
can we watch the non-live-at-this-point demo anywhere? i'd love to see your take on this!
Hey nice blog my friend.There is unique web-based system that allows you to send real greeting cards online with a click of your mouse! You choose type message and upload a picture into your card . We print stuff ,stamp and send it!
Some great ideas here. We print our own cards and you have given me a few more ideas to play with now.
OMG! I am soooo gonna steal this for next year!
so when i send the cards out, it would always say Sent from Salt Lake City, UT? just wondering?

YAY!! Another series. I love series books. They are so much more fun that just single books! The stories last so much longer, that is probably why I like them. Since I read fast I need long books.
Anyway, onto these books. Switched, Torn, and Ascend are by Amanda Hocking and are about trolls. Now, before you think of the little troll that live under bridges and are all yucky, think again. These look just like us, just just have some unique characteristics about them. They are stronger, faster, and some have abilities such as telekinesis or elemental control. The basis of these stories revolves around a girl who's mother tried to kill her on her 6th birthday claiming she was a monster and not her real child. Several years later she finds out that her mom may have been telling the truth and not only that, but she is a princess.
There is so much in the books that I want to share, but they are so good I don't want to ruin them for others. I believe the first ones is still free so you should take a look and see if you like them. The others are less than $3 each so you can have the whole set for CHEAP! There is love, violence, loss, some fantasy, and humor. It is all in there and soo good!!

This conversation is closed.
What would it take to drive global inflation back to levels equivalent to the early 1900s?
Conventional wisdom would say it's impossible but this is merely a discussion at this point so why not get creative?
To put this in perspective I read a newspaper article fromThe Press (Christchurch, New Zealand) from about 1920 in which it stated that if you were thrifty you could live fairly comfortably in christchurch on $3 a week.
Now, by comparison, $20 would barely feed me for a day let alone provide board and bed. thats a quite substantial growth in under 100 years and I'm convinced that profiteering has played a substantial part in accelerating it. For example if a a litre of milk costs $1, it would be sold to the supermarket for a $1.50 and the supermarket in turn would sell it for $2 when it should be, say, $1.20. each handler as upped the price by 50c when they could afford to raise it only 10c and still turn a profit. That is, after all, supposed to be the point of 'super'markets; they deal with so many products that they can afford to sell items at a loss because it's made up for by other items.
Please discuss :)

Aug 12 2013: Robert, NZ is big ranch sheep country if I recall correctly. Lets take the process one step at a time. You want a ranch. Go to the bank for financing. Got the loan at 12%. Up the loan for a house, barn, truck, etc .... need sheep another loan. need feed. need vet. You get the picture. I am in up to my ears.
Offer sheep to a broker. He arranges for transport ... at my expense. Puts in feed lot ... my expense. Sell is made. I just make a small profit and still owe a bunch and do it all over again. The chain that bought the sheep will have expenses prior to selling the meat and will make a small profit.
In the end the two that made a bunch of money with little or no effort were the bank and the middle men.
In the early 1900s you had a farmer who raised sheep and a butcher who sold meat. They talked and shook hands and both made a reasonable profit. Do you notice the absence of two profiteers? Costs were low, profits made, and the product was sold at a small mark up. Smiles all around.
Yeah it is simple but pretty easy to follow.
I wish you well. Bob.
Aug 17 2013: Hang on a sec, lets go back to the bank because at the end of the day thats where the problems start. The loan repayment accrues 12% interest per annum. 12% isn't particularly high by my understanding but as we're using made up figures I suppose thats heresay. My point remains that the banks can afford to charge less than 12% interest. If 0% represents the original sum, payed back in full, then the bank has not made a profit. BUT THEY HAVEN'T LOST ANY MONEY EITHER; They've got the exact amount that they put in back. Obviously we can't expect any business to run successfully at a loss. But if the bank charged only 6% per annum then that 6% is still going into the business' coffers, the original loan is easier to pay off and the bank has still made a profit (assuming other expenses are covered first)
Now, it may be that in order to break even, the bank HAS to charge a minimum of 12% interest. 'Breaking Even' = after all expenses are payed, there is no money left over but you haven't lost any either.
I somehow doubt thats the case.
Banks can afford to charge less. but even if they did, that doesn't bring inflation levels down.
I know how the economy works, I don't need a lesson in economy. The example in the original question was merely that; an example.
Aug 18 2013: Robert, for just a sec lets go back to the loan for the ranch I proposed ... say you get a loan for $100,000 @ 12% .... your annual interest payment is $12,000 on the first 12 months. The 12% is then charged on the remaining balance until payed off. That is how banks make money by loaning out your money.
Banks would never use the term break even .... you deal with a bank you pay. Period. They are not your pal ... they are here to make money.
A house for 20 years @ 12% sold for 120,000 will cost you 500,000 to 600,000 dollars. The banks would fire a loan manager who just broke even.
Thanks for the reply. Bob.

Antiperspirant Awareness: It's Mostly No Sweat (cont.)

Therefore, the directions don't directly reflect the conditions of effectiveness. But Holman adds that consumers can be assured that products are effective whether they are gels, sticks, aerosols, or others, if they pass the FDA's test.
Antiperspirants and the FDA
"People feel that those products on the shelf are a direct reflection of what we regulate," says Holman. "But mostly, it's based on what's selling."
Like prescription drugs, the FDA oversees OTC drugs to ensure that they are properly labeled and that their benefits outweigh their risks. OTC drugs account for more than 100,000 products on the market that involve about 800 active ingredients. The FDA classifies these nonprescription drugs by treatment category, such as laxatives, antacids, and antiperspirants, and evaluates their ingredients. So, rather than review thousands of individual antiperspirant products, the FDA evaluates the far fewer active ingredients found in them.
Most OTC drugs are subject to rules called monographs, which state requirements for categories of nonprescription drugs, such as what ingredients may be used and for what intended use. If the standards of the OTC monograph are met, premarket approval of a potentially new OTC product is not necessary.
The FDA is mainly concerned about claims being made for a product, Holman says. For example, in the familiar slogan, "strong enough for a man but made for a woman," the company had to prove that the product was tested in both men and women because there are physiological differences between them. Similarly, testing must confirm marketing statements such as "so effective you could skip a day."
By contrast, Holman says that if a company claimed that a new antiperspirant ingredient is effective, "it would require a new drug application because the ingredient is not already included in the antiperspirant monograph as generally recognized as safe and effective."
Holman also says that manufacturers tend to test antiperspirant products on more women than men. One reason seems to be underarm hair. Women are required to shave two days before testing to keep hair to a minimum and to minimize skin irritation. "With that said, skin irritation related to shaving is not a major safety concern because it is not serious or life threatening," Holman says. "And common sense dictates women will not keep using a particular product if it causes irritation."
The important thing to remember, says Holman, "is that antiperspirants don't completely eliminate sweat." According to the FDA's testing standards, the most effective products, those that claim "extra strength" or "maximum strength," are based on at least a 30 percent sweat reduction rate in most people. Regular strength products test at a 20 percent sweat reduction rate in most people.
Sweating Too Much, or Not Enough
If the complex biological mechanism of perspiration goes awry, it can result in either excessive perspiration (hyperhidrosis) or little or no perspiration (anhidrosis), a potentially life-threatening condition.
Dermatologists at the AAD say that excessive sweating is normal when a person is anxious or has a fever. However, excessive sweating can be a chronic condition and may signal other medical conditions such as thyroid problems, low blood sugar levels, a nervous system disorder, or the onset of menopause.
Excessive sweating is more than a mild nuisance that some people experience. According to the AAD, hyperhidrosis affects about 8 million Americans. Depending on where it occurs on the body, hyperhidrosis has several treatment options, including topical agents such as prescription antiperspirants, oral medications, and surgery. Prescription antiperspirants contain higher doses of the active ingredient aluminum chloride. Skin irritation is the main side effect with prescription antiperspirants such as Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate).
In July 2004, the FDA approved Botox (botulinum toxin type A), a drug that is used to temporarily erase wrinkles for cosmetic purposes, to treat severe underarm sweating (primary axillary hyperhidrosis) that cannot be managed by topical agents. Available by prescription only, botulinum toxin type A is a protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This protein works by interrupting the chemical messages released by nerve endings that tell the sweat gland when to sweat.
Administered into the armpit, small doses of an injectable form of the sterile purified botulinum toxin stop release of the chemical messenger acetylcholine that supplies nerves to the eccrine glands, thereby temporarily paralyzing the nerves in the underarm that stimulate sweat production.
To avoid the possibility that Botox treatments can mask a potentially serious disease, the FDA advises patients to be evaluated by a doctor for other possible causes of excessive sweating. Botox is approved for treatment of the underarms, but not for excessive sweating of other sites such as the feet and palms.
The Cancer Myth
The rise of the Internet has made it easy for false health claims, scary stories, and rumors to reach millions of people in a matter of minutes. One such myth says that antiperspirants may cause breast cancer.

Cops aim to ask Britt about gunshot
Jersey City Police are interviewing Kenny Britt's girlfriend right now, but are still looking for the Tennessee Titans wide receiver to question him regarding what happened Sunday morning.
Captain Edgar Martinez told TitanInsider that Britt still had not come in and that police are looking for him in regards to questioning.
When asked if Britt was a suspect, Martinez said, "Britt is not a suspect in the stabbing, but he was there when everything transpired."
When asked about the gunshot that was fired nearby after he picked up his girlfriend from the apartment, Martinez said, "That's what we want to talk to him about."
Thus far, Britt has not come in for his interview.
"He still hasn't come in, and we're still looking for him," Martinez said. "We're looking to interview him. We are interviewing his girlfriend, who is pregnant, right now and interviewing the other witnesses around the area.
"We need him to come in. We'd like to wrap this up as quickly as possible. We're waiting for him. He's one of the last people we need to interview. We need to speak to him about what transpired."
Britt released a statement through and unnamed spokesman that read: "Kenny was leaving a dinner cooked by his friends' parents when he found his friend, who had left earlier, injured outside. Kenny immediately brought his friend to the hospital and was there with the injured friend's family for several hours, but was not otherwise involved in the incident. It was not a house party, Kenny's brother was not injured (and wasn't even there) and Kenny has made himself available to cooperate with the authorities investigation of this matter."

Oops....I did it again!
Is there anything more apropos than this picture, taken in Nashville at Bridgestone Arena, of Britney Spears and Tennessee Titans troubled wide receiver Kenny Britt?
There are three things that are a certainty in life: Death, Taxes, and Kenny Britt being a knucklehead.
The former first round pick of the Titans in 2009, has spent more time in the training room, tub, and the slammer, than the field of play. Loads of talent that has yet to produce other than a couple of flash in the pan moments.
Britt is coming off a career year in receptions in 2012 with 45. Let me repeat that so it soaks in. Four seasons in the league, and he just had a career best 45 catches this year. Uuuggghhh.....
Kendall Wright, another first round pick by the Titans, just finished his rookie campaign with 64 receptions, 626 receiving yards, and 4 touchdowns. All these numbers surpassed Britt other than the touchdown grabs, which they were tied with four.
I could give you a long list of players in the league, at many positions, that would exceed Britts numbers this year and for his career. But we're not even really talking about his performance on the field anymore; It has resorted to his immature behavior off of it.
Ladies and Gentleman, I introduce you to screw up number ??? for Kenny Britt.....I'm losing count.

My Rabbit LOVES Them!
posted 5 years ago
My rabbit loves a few raisins as a special treat once in a while. I feed them in moderation because they are so high in sugar. He goes wild for them and even knows the sound of the raisin box! Great rabbit treat, but not too many at one time.
Pros: Tasty treat for rabbits in moderation
Cons: High in sugar

By Frank Pingue
(Reuters) - The Los Angeles Kings were considered Stanley Cup contenders ahead of the 2011-12 National Hockey League season but a slow start, injuries and inconsistency has left the team playing catch-up in the standings.
For the first time in their 44-year existence, the Kings entered a campaign without any glaring weaknesses given some major offseason acquisitions that sent a message the franchise was serious about claiming a first NHL title.
However, the impressive roster has yet to deliver and the team is having trouble scoring, leaving the Kings (15-14-4) sitting below the cutoff line for the playoffs with the season approaching its midway point.
"We really haven't scored a lot of goals and that's where you can point the finger for not succeeding lately," Anze Kopitar, who leads the Kings with 30 points, told reporters before Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
"We have to put together a good streak, that's just how it is. We've put together a bad one and now we have to put together a good one. There's no secret to it."
Los Angeles entered the Toronto game with 10 goals in their last seven contests, a stretch that included just one win and during which head coach Terry Murray was fired.
That is clearly not what Kings management had in mind when they acquired former Philadelphia Flyers captain Mike Richards in a trade, signed two-time All-Star Simon Gagne and locked up promising defenseman Drew Doughty before the season began.
Center Kopitar, who led the Kings in points for a fourth straight season in 2010-11, has struggled to find the net recently, scoring his last goal on November 22.
"We're a good team, we made those offseason acquisitions and that made us a lot better of a team and now we just got to believe it," Doughty, taken second overall by the Kings in the 2008 draft, told reporters.
"That's the problem here. We're losing mentally, but once we finally believe that we have the team to do it then we'll start winning some games and put on a little winning streak."
The Kings, sitting 10th in the 15-team Western Conference, have also faltered of late in part because Richards, who has 20 points in 25 games this season, has not played since suffering a head injury on December 1.
Richards, who topped 20 goals in a campaign four times in his six previous seasons, was off to a fast start this year with 11 goals and on pace for a career-high, whereas Gagne, a former 47-goal scorer, has just seven with his new team.
While the Kings have established themselves around the NHL as a solid defensive team, captain Dustin Brown feels a recent emphasis on sending more guys to the opposing team's net will help give them a better balance.
"We can work harder on the offensive side of the puck, getting around the net and getting those greasy, dirty type of goals," Brown said. "With the type of players we have in here we got to be better offensively."
In Monday's game, the Kings twice squandered one-goal leads but managed to secure the win when Brown fired a wrist shot by Maple Leafs goalie James Reimer to end the shootout. Brown had also scored late in the second period to put the Kings up 2-1.
The Kings will now try to carry momentum from their win over slumping Toronto, losers of three straight, into Thursday's game against the Anaheim Ducks, where they will hope to secure back-to-back wins for the first time in three weeks.
"Right now, we're just so down emotionally that things aren't clicking, things aren't going well and we just need to find that extra edge," Doughty added.
"Everyone has to look themselves in the mirror and give it their all and when every single guy on this team does that I don't think we'll have any problems winning games."

SAN DIEGO, CA (WSAU-TSN) - Rene Rivera hit a solo homer in the ninth to tie the game, then hit an RBI single in the 10th to give the San Diego Padres a 3-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday.
Rivera led off the ninth with a home run off Francisco Rodriguez, making it 2-2.
Milwaukee sent Zach Duke (4-1) to the mound in the bottom of the 10th. Seth Smith walked and Yasmani Grandal singled. Smith was thrown out at third when Cameron Maybin bunted into a fielder's choice. After pinch-hitter Rymer Liriano lined out, Rivera singled up the middle to plate the winning run.

4 Buy-Rated Dividend Stocks: GSK, RAI, NGLS, RDS.A
Targa Resources PartnersDividend Yield: 5.20% Targa Resources Partners (NYSE: NGLS) shares currently have a dividend yield of 5.20%. Targa Resources Partners LP provides midstream natural gas, natural gas liquid (NGL), terminaling, and crude oil gathering services in the United States. The company operates in two divisions, Gathering and Processing, and Logistics and Marketing. The company has a P/E ratio of 73.63. The average volume for Targa Resources Partners has been 433,600 shares per day over the past 30 days. Targa Resources Partners has a market cap of $5.5 billion and is part of the energy industry. Shares are up 43.8% year to date as of the close of trading on Tuesday. TheStreet Ratings rates Targa Resources Partners as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its good cash flow from operations and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat weak growth in earnings per share. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $171.70 million or 17.04% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of -25.59%.
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, NGLS's share price has jumped by 41.08%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Looking ahead, the stock's sharp rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.
- NGLS, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 10.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 15.1%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- The gross profit margin for TARGA RESOURCES PARTNERS LP is currently extremely low, coming in at 12.54%. Regardless of NGLS's low profit margin, it has managed to increase from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 2.78% trails the industry average.
- The debt-to-equity ratio of 1.40 is relatively high when compared with the industry average, suggesting a need for better debt level management. Along with the unfavorable debt-to-equity ratio, NGLS maintains a poor quick ratio of 0.82, which illustrates the inability to avoid short-term cash problems.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I ordered the sample first, so I already knew what to expect, but these cards are beautiful and such good quality! I am very pleased with my purchase! If I weren't getting invitations through my venue, I would definitely be heading back here!"
"My Save the Dates were perfect. I have already received so many compliments on them. I needed to add some lettering on the back and there were no problems doing so. Would recommend Wedding Paper Divas to anyone. AND! They sent me a thank you card with a personalized hand-written message congratulating me on my upcoming nuptials. Awesome."
"Chose these for a rustic barn and outdoor ceremony - they are even more perfect in person than on the site. The colors (I chose green lettering) are true to the picture, the paper quality is great compared to other vendors I've received for friends' weddings, the size is awesome and unique - these are perfect for us! I had a designer help push the lettering on the back to the top-left to serve as a return address (the proof was great and quick-turnaround time), and am putting photo stickers in the empty space. Love these! So happy with the finished product!!"
"This card was perfect for us. My fiance even helped to pick it out. Card stock was thick and dark...just like a chalkboard! Very cool"
"The chalkboard theme is so cute. It adds a beautiful, yet fun element to the save the date. The colors were great and easy to read. Highly recommend!"
