Icahn studio takeover risky, warns S&P
Says decision may be detrimental to Lionsgate's credit ratingTORONTO -- A successful takeover of Lionsgate by activist shareholder Carl Icahn will put the indie studio's credit rating at risk, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services warned Thursday.
"We could lower the rating if the company takes actions that cause its credit measures to deteriorate from their already weak levels, or if the tender offer succeeds and it appears unlikely that the banks and bondholders will grant a waiver," S&P said in a statement after Icahn and Lionsgate executives this week escalated their war of words over Icahn's $6-per-share bid for all outstanding stock in the Vancouver-based studio.
Icahn taking control of Lionsgate could trigger a default of the studio's banking covenants if a waiver is not secured.
Lionsgate earlier this week dismissed Icahn's unsolicited $6-per-share offer for a second time, calling it too low.
Rival ratings agency Moody's Investors Service on March 16 said Icahn's original tender offer to take his stake from 18.9% to 29.9% also threatened Lionsgate's creditworthiness.
"A successful tender would put negative pressure on the company's credit rating as the company does not presently have material financial flexibility within its current credit rating," Moody's analyst Neil Begley said in a statement.

text: Like couple weeks ago, I was in downtown and saw a rally. There were mounted police (bike and horse) at both head and tail of the rally. I was walking towards the opposite direction of the rally, and few moments later I spotted horse dump in the middle of the road. Apparently some unfortunate vehicle had run over it, smelled pretty bad. Share your extraordinary (and ordinary) protest/rally/riot stories, if you want to.

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I last reviewed lenses. Today I will be reviewing the Princess Mimi Apple Green, my third lens from this particular line. This review is sponsored by one of my favorite local shops, Dull to Doll. 。◕‿‿◕。
The lenses in the lens case, up close. The outer ring is the trademark of Princess Mimi lenses.
Indoors + natural light through the window.
Up close. The colors is a very vivid green. Really pretty!
When worn, with flash. (And falsies, again!)
Color & Design: ★★★★★
I love the color and design on these! I like how the green color is very vivid, so it's visible even indoors. I also like the way the inner yellow ring blends with the green. Honestly, the color on these reminds me of snakes. I like snakes. Heh, heh.
Enlargement: ★★★★★
Very enlarging at 15mm! I can pull these off since I still have a lot of white space in my eye when I wear them, but if you have smaller eyes, these might not be for you. It may appear a bit alien-ish on people with small eyes. They also look quite weird on me without any eye makeup on, I noticed. But that isn't a problem since I only wear these when I go out.
Comfort: ★★★★☆
Super comfortable! In my opinion, GEO Medical makes the most comfortable lenses around. I can wear these and forget I'm wearing them for the rest of the day. I can wear these up to 12+ hours with no problems at all. Only thing is, I've noticed that Princess Mimi lenses have a tendency to start hurting the eyes after a certain period of time. Not sure if it's the same for everyone else. For my Chocolate lenses, it was about five months or so. For the Sesame Greys, it was three or four months. For these, I'm not quite sure but I've only been wearing these for a couple of months now and it hurt the last time I wore them. It goes away after a while, but it really is painful so I don't recommend wearing them for longer. Which is too bad because these lenses are so pretty!
Overall: ★★★★★
Giving it a 5/5. I have been converted; the Apple Greens are now my favorite Princess Mimi lenses! I really like this color best. I wish these didn't hurt after a few months though. It's really a shame because they're really nice lenses. But putting that aside, these lenses are perfect for any kind of makeup look. These are mostly used by gyaru, as they were designed by Tsu-chan, but they work with more natural looks as well. They also work nicely for cosplay! I used these for my Gumi trial a while back, and I really like how they looked! I recommend giving these lenses a try. That is, if you haven't tried them already ;)
A few reminders:
☆ You are best advised to consult your eye doctor before wearing any lenses. It is your responsibility to minimize the risk of wearing lenses. Kindly please read the wear & care guide carefully to ensure proper handling of lenses. If you experience any discomfort, remove the lens immediately.
☆ Though the lenses in this review were sponsored by Dull to Doll, everything written here is 100% my honest opinion.
☆ All photos used in this review belong to me. Please do not take them without my permission!!
I'm not sure if I'll still be reviewing the Almond lenses from the Princess Mimi line, as I'm not as excited by it as other lenses, but we'll see! Also, I'll be putting up a mini-giveaway really soon, sponsored by Dull to Doll~! Please stay tuned ♡

Boxing Day in Australia is a public holiday - it is the day when we recuperate from the day before. Christmas Day for us was as we expected, quieter than other years but nice just the same.
As there wasn't as much recuperaton needed than in other years we (DH and I) had an easy morning then took a drive to one of our nearby resevoirs - Maroondah Dam. Click on the link and see what the park is like.
Lots of families there in the grounds having picnics and bbqs. We climbed the steps to the top of the dam wall and then walked down the other side.
I learned that because I gave up on the exercise during the year I have become very unfit and feeling this way today has made me realise I have to start all over again and do something about it.
Other hardy folks line up at department store doors at ungodly hours to be first in line for the sale items - others take it easy and watch to listen to the cricket test match. This year Australia plays India and it should be closely contested.
All in all for us a quiet peaceful day

Kia ora and welcome to Exploring Kiwis!
We're here to share our experiences of travelling with you – the good, the bad and the ugly (though let's face it, most of the time it's amazing!) As New Zealanders living in Abu Dhabi, we've travelled broadly over the last few years, documenting many of our experiences here.
We're passionate about maximising the time we spend in each place we visit, experiencing what makes each location unique and having an adventure – we try to do so at a range of budgets, ensuring everyone has access to these memorable experiences. Whether you're looking to save a bit of money or splurge, we're here to help you seek out once-in-a-lifetime experiences (though we can't guarantee you won't love them so much, you'll want to do them over and over!)
We love a good adventure and hope we can inspire others to push out of their comfort zone and create amazing memories.
We're excited to connect with those of you who share a common love of travel – thanks for coming along for the ride!
Happy travels,
Sarah and Nathan
"I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list" – Susan Sontag
Please note, the remainder of this page is under construction – we're working hard to introduce you to our entire team ASAP.
Sarah Sullivan
So a little about me, I'm Sarah I originate from the land of the long white cloud (New Zealand), for the last nine years I've been working as a nanny or a teacher in some amazing countries and travelling with every spare minute I have. Currently you will find me living in Abu Dhabi but aside from the UAE I've found myself living and working in Munich, Innsbruck, London and Massachusetts.
Three words that sum up my constant feelings are wanderlust (a strong desire to travel), fernweh (an ache for distant places and a longing for travel) and sehnsucht (a wistful longing in the heart for travels that have been and those to come) it appears Germans and their efficient language have managed to describe my daily feelings and condense them into three short words! When I'm not traveling you will find me experiencing these feelings and planning my next adventure.
While I travel in many different ways and styles I prefer to travel and explore off the beaten track, experiencing something new and hopefully interacting with the locals and their way of living.
Some places and experiences on my ever expanding and never ending bucket list are hiking the Inca trail, travelling down the Amazon River, dancing in Ghana and exploring the amazing and diverse island of Madagascar. Fortunately this summer I will get to tick off some other ultimate destinations like Cuba and Costa Rica and during our nine weeks exploring Central America – plus I finally will be able to try my hand at diving and hiking a volcano.
Stay tuned as I can't wait to share my adventures with you all!
Jade Love
Hi I'm Jade, a Kiwi currently living in London with my best friend and husband, Mark. Having moved to London in 2016 seeking a change in scenery, I make sure we get the most of our holidays by jet setting off to new destinations where, with cameras in tow, we enjoy capturing beautiful sights, trying all sorts of activities and most importantly indulging in the local cuisine.
Recently curious how far our exploring has taken us, we were surprised to tick off over twenty countries, with favourites including Japan, Greece, India and Cambodia. Our travel style has evolved from our first big trip together (three weeks of self-planned madness through Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand) experiencing almost every style from backpacking, tours, self-guided and a touch of luxury. Our travels have lead us to incredible interactions with locals and other travellers and whilst ticking off our "bucket list" (which continues to evolve) we have learnt so many 'do's and don'ts along the way.
We love to connect with others on our travels to share, learn and enjoy, especially with locals who are always so generous offering the best insider's information at a destination.
Major attractions still on the list include the Machu Picchu Inca Trail, too many beautiful coastal destinations to name and a night under the Aurora Borealis (or Aurora Australis; whichever happens to be kind enough to give us a show)!
I hope you enjoy the narratives I share as our journeys continue through Europe and beyond and I look forward to inspiring your next journey here on Exploring Kiwis.
Joanne McLaughlin
Hey! I'm Joanne, a northern Brit with Greek blood and an international soul.
Since graduating from university many moons ago, I've found it very hard to keep my restless feet on the ground. As a child growing up, we never really went on holidays 'abroad'. Instead we went (and by 'we' I mean my parents, brothers, friends, brothers' friends, aunties, cousins and cousins' friends) to a caravan park on the north-east coast of England. Exotic, I know. So when the opportunity arose to work – and play – in Cyprus at the tender age of 21, I grabbed it with both hands.
From that first real footstep on foreign sands, I was hooked. I've been a holiday rep in Cyprus and the Greek islands, driven a trackless train tour in Sydney, served the beer in an outback pub in Queensland, all before getting 'a real job' and becoming a teacher. Other than the UK, teaching has taken me to Italy and Abu Dhabi so far and has opened up the doors to a whole world (literally) of travel opportunities.
As all travel addicts will know, the impossible question is always, "Where do you like most?" I can honestly say I've loved everywhere I've been, but some of my favourite spots so far have been New Zealand (I'm not just saying that) for its unbelievable natural beauty, Bali for its amazing vibe and diverse landscapes, Vienna for the stunning architecture and rich European culture, and South Africa for the views, meat and ridiculously cheap yet delicious wine.
I really hope you enjoy my ramblings about the places I've been and have yet to visit.
Nadine Maffre
Hey, I'm Nadine. I'm a semi-nomadic Kiwi who has lived in five countries and travelled to many more. I'm currently based in the South of France where I'm enjoying the provençal way of life with my husband, young son and two golden retrievers in tow!
I've always been passionate about travel – finding opportunities to explore at every turn! But it's only recently that I left the corporate world of Investments & Insurance and (after going back to university to study communication) started working in destination marketing.
I love uncovering hidden gems while I'm travelling and finding unique and interesting places to stay – from a gypsy caravan in Corsica, to a luxury boutique in Santorini.
My travel wish-list is never ending and far-ranging but I'd love to visit the national parks in Canada and I've got a soft spot for the Cyclades!
Morgan McGregor
Hi guys, I'm Morgan! I'm from New Zealand and currently live in this gorgeous place. The majority of my travelling is done relatively close to home, because I love showing off all of the beauty and excitement New Zealand can offer!
Never one to sit still though, I spend my free time working on my business, volunteering, and all the rest whilst I save and plan my intrepid explorations of the rest of the world.
My biggest bucket list spots would have to be the UK (my last name's McGregor, so try and guess the place I'd really like to go), the US for Coachella, ComicCon and the Salem festivals during Halloween and also Iceland! Although, that list gets longer and longer every day, with Israel, Egypt, and Greece cropping up on my Pinterest wish-lists often!
Whilst I'm here in the land of Kiwis however, I'm more than spoiled for choice with fun food, adventure and scenery options and I plan to make the absolute most of the beautiful country I'm in – I look forward to you joining the ride.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Rickie Fowler is starting to hear chatter about why he hasn't won on the PGA Tour. He hopes it won't be long before he no longer has to listen.
One week after he gave himself a chance in New Orleans, Fowler played a clean round of 6-under 66 on Thursday and was part of a five-way tie for the lead among early starters at the Wells Fargo Championship.
Fowler played with such control that he never came close to a bogey. His longest par putt was 4 feet.
''I feel that I'm good enough to win,'' Fowler said. ''I definitely feel like the amount of people expecting or thinking that I can win is a compliment. I'm not too worried about the talk that goes on about when my first win is coming, but it's my main goal, and that's what I'm focused on.''
Fowler was joined at 66 by John Senden, Brian Davis, D.A. Points and Patrick Reed, who earn a spot through Monday qualifying for the second straight tournament. He tied for 24th last week in New Orleans. Nearly one third of the morning wave broke 70.
Phil Mickelson was trying to edge closer to the morning leaders until he hit a tee shot out-of-bounds on the fourth hole and made triple bogey. He recovered for a 71. Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy played in the afternoon under scorching temperatures at Quail Hollow.
Fowler has been a marketing machine since he turned pro in the fall of 2009 and lost in a three-man playoff during the Fall Series. He has had a few good chances to win, such as the Phoenix Open in 2010 and the AT&T National last year. He did well enough to make the Ryder Cup team as the last of four captain's picks in 2010, and he showed his promise on the last day by winning the last four holes to earn a halve.
He just doesn't have a trophy – at least not on his home tour.
Fowler won the Korea Open last year over McIlroy, and he hopes it will lead to bigger things. And he was motivated last month when he watched good friend Bubba Watson pull off a spectacular shot out of the woods to win the Masters in a playoff.
Fowler didn't just watch, he was there. He joined Ben Crane and Aaron Baddeley on the course, and they were among the first on the green to share in an emotional moment for Watson.
''I might have been more nervous than he was there,'' Fowler said. ''It was a lot of fun to be there. Obviously, being one of my best buddies ... and having Ben and Badds there as well, just kind of getting to see kind of the moments from outside the ropes and see what was going on coming down the stretch, I definitely took a lot away from it.
''More the feeling that I want to be in that position. Instead of Bubba winning, I want to win. Maybe he'll let me win one soon.''
Watson isn't at Quail Hollow, which doesn't make the week any easier.
The tournament attracted another strong field on a Quail Hollow course rated among the best on the PGA Tour schedule. Without much wind, and with warm weather in the morning, it yielded plenty of low scores.
That's not to say everyone played great, even if they were happy with their scores.
Fowler had a birdie putt on every hole except the par-4 ninth, when he came up just short and chipped to 2 feet. Davis, the Englishman who has never won on tour, hit only six fairways and 11 greens, yet he wound up with the same score.
''I absolutely hit it awful tee-to-green. It was just terrible,'' Davis said. ''I got away with everything. I chipped and putted like hell today, and things go your way. Things like that can make a difference. We'll go to the range this afternoon and try and iron out a few flaws in our swing, but obviously delighted to get in at 66 and build on that momentum.''
The surprise in the group was Reed, a 21-year-old who helped lead Augusta State to another NCAA title last summer. He was trying to Monday qualify for the Texas Open when he was told in the middle of his round he had received an exemption. Then, it was off to New Orleans to Monday qualifying and he moved up the leaderboard with five birdies on the back nine. He made it through yet another qualifier and landed atop the leaderboard.
''This round was all because of the confidence I've had for the past month that's gone on,'' Reed said.
He felt so good that he attacked with driver on just about every hole, leaving him shorter irons into the greens and plenty of birdie chances.
''Whenever you can do that, you feel a lot more confident,'' he said. ''Next thing you know, 6 under and tied for the lead.''
But it's just one round, a long way from winning. Fowler can attest to that as he enters his third full season.
And there was no guarantee it would be enough to stay in the lead. Ryan Moore already was at 5 under with six holes remaining, while Webb Simpson chipped in for eagle on the short par-4 eighth hole and was 5 under.

Amazingly creative art classes for children ages 2-9!
Voted Most Loved Art Studio
in Morris County!
Copyright by Art Adventures Inc. All rights reserved.
I also have another business focusing on kids and the messes they make. The Toy Tamer provides custom playroom organizing - removing the mess once and for all and teaching kids the executive functioning skills they'll need for a lifetime. Click here for more info.
I'm Evelyn Cucchiara, owner of Art Adventures. All classes are taught by me, and take place in the bright and airy studio behind my home. I started this business over 17 years ago. Students that started with me still continue their love for art, and now I have their younger brothers and sisters coming to do art with "Mrs. C." Once you try a class, you won't want to go anywhere else.
Why do I teach art?
I have known since the 7th grade that I was born to teach art. I had an amazing art teacher who always encouraged me, so I went on to earn my BFA and MA in Art Education. I also have a BFA in Art Therapy. Thanks Mrs. Caruso!
Why such young children?
To see a child connect with something they have done with pride and joy - THAT is the spark that ignites my passion to teach and support our artists. Young children are always amazed and enthralled with what they can do - and I love being a part of their learning process, and I want their hearts to smile.
Why such small classes?
Yikes! Too many kids equals too much down time for small children. Small classes assure the children are never 'waiting for me to get to them', and allow them to receive the individual support they deserve.
Teaching art to young children really is my true passion! I'm not an artist teaching, I'm a teacher creating young artists.
Shout outs about Art ala Cart Parties:
"Thank you for a great day today. Everyone had a great time. I heard some girls saying it was the best party ever!"

text: Thank you DuClaw Brewing for sponsoring this post and sending me the DuClaw Hop Hammer IPA. All opinions and the mousse recipe are my own. Welcome to the October edition of "Cooking with Beer"! Each month DuClaw Brewing sends me a beer and a friend and I create a recipe. It's a fun time to think outside the box and try a new beer and new food. This month's beer is "Hop Hammer", a nicely balanced India Pale Ale. With Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas all arriving soon, I decided that a dessert would be a great option. I don't generally drink IPAs. I'm much more of a fan of malty, dark, and sweet beers, but this was a nice example of the style.

The Guna language ("Dulegayya") is not difficult for westerners to learn because of any irregular conjugations, nor because of subject-verb agreement issues, nor any of the things we all spent countless hours memorizing with wonky mnemonics when we learned Spanish or French in high school. Once you learn the verbs and nouns and master the pronunciation, conversing in Dulegaya seems to pose a challenge in its extended use of metaphors. One of the extended metaphors that reoccurs in my many meetings about community projects and economic development is the oft-used metaphor of the house. "Knocking on the door," is often used to signify solicitation or approaching someone with a proposal. When infrastructure changes or community-wide development projects are undertaken, the chiefs talk about fixing the roof or the window (the first time this came up, I craned my neck to look for the hole in the roof before being lectured like a child about the use of metaphors). In fact, the community-powered way in which the entire town of Armila functions is apparent in the way they build their homes.
When a couple is ready to start their family, the town will build them their first house. Preparation starts months in advance. The heads of the two men's cooperatives, large working groups that together include all able-bodied men in the community, will serve as foremen for the project. Each man will be assigned a specific number of materials that they are will have to collect before the date of construction. For instance, Jaime might be assigned to collect 200 "pencas" (palm fronds) and 50 canes of "caña flecha" (a sturdy, bamboo-like chute).
On the day of construction, "neggwebur watchirbaggebag onakwed yaba arbae--" (I think this is how you say "everyone wakes up to work at four in the morning;" still learning).
First the postholes are dug and the bases of the main posts, made of the trunks of trees from the mountain, are secured by several large stones before being buried. Then the large cross-beams are cut with a machete so that they fit onto the main posts and are lashed into place with rope made from soaked roots and vines from the forest. By the time the sun has peeked over the edge of the mountains to the southeast, the main frame of the house is in place.
Several lengthwise roofing beams, made of long poles of the bamboo-like material, are lashed into place from bottom to top along the long roof by lines of people. Once all these are in place, we begin to make the roof. People inside the house use their hands at first, and later long fork-like poles, to pass up palm fronds three at a time to people on the roof. These are arranged and tied into place along the lateral roofing beams. Since the roof takes the most time to put together, the men stop for lunch at around 1:00PM.
The women of the town have also come together to prepare a giant feast, organized by the family for whom the house is being built. The men sit down on long benches together and are served by the women. They eat as a community and pass around a large communal gourd full of juice from which every one takes a long gulp. They go immediately back to work and finish the roof by about 4:00PM. Then the walls, made from lines of caña flecha, are put in and lashed together before sunset.
By the end of the day, this community of fewer than 300 adults has come together to make two full houses. They are approximately 80 x 20 feet, with the highest point of the roof at around 20 feet. Flip through the slideshow at the top to see photos from the construction of a house in Armila.
Watching the way the residents of Armila build their impressive homes, and knowing that the extended metaphor of "the house" is constantly used to refer to community development, it makes me hopeful that Armilans might approach the sustainable development of their community and conservation projects with the same spirit of collaboration they employ in building their homes.
But after the first few weeks of my research here, it's apparent that many of the intra-community feuds and jealousy arise from situations in which individuals that have made their own investments are doing very well for themselves. This is particularly evident in the growing sector of the population involved in eco-tourism. "That guy hosts all the tourists and never shares anything with the community, he keeps it all for himself!" The intra-community competition, rather than being embraced as a requisite for economic growth as it is in western society, is more often considered by many to be a strain on the traditional way the community has always functioned. It will be interesting to explore this theme during the coming year and to see if there is any way these two ways of thinking about the local economy can be reconciled.

Are people more trustworthy now? I say yes… here is why
The general consensus is that Generation Y is less trustworthy than any before it. This is not the case and we are getting a bad rap for a few bad apples. Our entire social graph is online now and in many cases publicly exposed. Our interactions, our relationships and our friends are public record.
Everyone complains about the death of privacy. In another sense, however, it is the birth of accountability. Whether privacy is an inalienable human right is up for debate, but in today's world it's much less likely for a con artist to be successful because of our growing reliance on social reputation. In the past a con artist might move from town to town leaving their bad deeds behind them. Now, unless you are willing to assume a new identity and start over, your history will follow. Beware of those that have no history.
In today's world of interconnectivity and social reputation there is no starting over unless you are in the witness protection program. The more connected you are, the more transparent you are, and the more trusted you will be. Your social reputation demonstrates your trustworthiness. So get out there and be nice to people and don't be a crook. Today's world will hold you socially accountable and that's a price you can't afford to pay!

First-Ever Human Eggs Grown in a Lab Could Improve Fertility Treatments
Scientists have created the first-ever fully grown human eggs. Although more work is needed, the breakthrough finding has the potential to improve fertility treatments.
Normally, a woman's eggs mature inside her ovaries once she's hit puberty. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh and the Center for Human Reproduction in New York wanted to try to grow eggs outside the body. They accomplished this feat; however, the eggs have yet to be fertilized.
Related: Air Pollution Tied to Decline in Sperm Quality That Could Lead to Male Infertility
"It's very exciting to obtain proof of principle that it's possible to reach this stage in human tissue," Evelyn Telfer, a biology professor at the University of Edinburgh who helped develop the eggs, told the BBC.
Eggs have previously been grown in mice tissue that was removed from their bodies. Figuring out how to allow the eggs to fully mature in such a way for humans has proved to be much more difficult, partially because our tissue is more complicated than mouse tissue, Telfer explained to the New Scientist.
Telfer, who worked alongside scientists from the Center for Human Reproduction in New York, grew the eggs using samples collected from 10 women who chose to undergo caesarian sections. From those samples, they collected 310 "primordial follicles," a tightly packed structure that has the ability to produce an egg cell. Among those follicles, 87 survived the initial growth stage and were able to be dissected for further culture, according to the findings published January 30th in the journal Molecular Human Reproduction.
See all of the best photos of the week in these slideshows
Related: Women Who Are Unable to Have a Baby May Have Entire Womb Replaced in New Fertility Treatment
Out of those 87 samples, nine developed fully.
"We had no great expectations. To see at least one [egg reaching maturity], we thought, 'Wow, that's actually quite incredible,'" Telfer told Science.
The next step is to fertilize the eggs, which would then reveal how viable they truly are. However, the team hasn't yet received regulatory approval for fertilization, Telfer explained in a statement. Right now, the process would be illegal without receiving a license from the United Kingdom's Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority.
If one day they're able to fertilize the eggs and they prove to be healthy, this could change the lives of girls with cancer by protecting their fertility. And even if that never happens, the research has still allowed them to better understand how human eggs develop.

Porcelain veneers are an ideal dental treatment for a range of candidates, but they are not always the best solution for everyone. Dr. Huefner is an experienced cosmetic dentist in Orange County, and he can assess your personal needs to help you determine if porcelain veneers are right for you.
Porcelain veneers can be used to correct many dental flaws including:
- Chips or cracks
- Gaps
- Asymmetry
- Discoloration
To be a candidate for porcelain veneers, you should have generally healthy teeth that are fully developed, and you should have realistic expectations about what porcelain veneers can and cannot accomplish. You may not be a good candidate if:
- You suffer from severe misalignment
- You grind or clench your teeth
- You have inadequate tooth enamel
- You suffer from periodontal disease or extensive tooth decay
- You have other major dental or general health conditions
If you do not meet the criteria for porcelain veneer candidacy or your cosmetic dentistry needs will be better served by an alternative treatment, Dr. Huefner will discuss this with you at your consultation.
If you believe you may be a candidate for porcelain veneers and you would like to learn more about how to proceed with your treatment, contact Dr. Norman Huefner General Dentistry & Cosmetic Dentistry at 949-495-6322 to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced cosmetic dentists. We also serve patients in Irvine, Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, Newport Beach and Santa Margarita.

Do you need encouragement? Does your family need to build friendships with other Christian families? Do you need an opportunity for more informal service and fellowship? Contact Brian Flynn, Small Groups Coordinator, at the Church office (830-624-8288) and see how you can find your place in one of New Braunfels Bible Church's Small Groups.
New Braunfels Bible Church believes that the core of who we are as believers flows from the joy, challenge, and comfort of relationships. First, in our intimate personal relationship with God by faith alone in Christ alone, and secondly in caring relationships with other believers.
After the pattern of the early Church (Acts 2:46), NBBC small groups normally meet in home environments where believers learn, share, and fellowship together. The current structure includes men's groups, ladies' groups, and couples' groups meeting at various locations in our area.
There are things we can do for one another that we cannot do for ourselves. Believers are admonished by scripture to:
• Pursue…the building up of one another (Romans 14:9);
• Through love, serve one another (Galatians 5:13);
• Be kind to one another (Ephesians 4:32);
• Comfort one another (1 Thessalonians 4:18);
• Encourage one another (Hebrews 3:13);
• Stimulate one another to love and good deeds (Hebrews 10:24)
• Be hospitable to one another (1 Peter 4:9); and
• Beloved, let us love one another (1 John 4:7)
Therefore, we are called to one another, and ask our Lord for the wisdom and counsel of the Holy Spirit to empower and equip us through Small Group Ministry.

That decision was overturned in March, but until it was, many banks put their debit card transitions on hold.
Conroy said that when debit cards with EMV chips arrive, she expects almost all of them to be chip and PIN cards. The reason is that consumers are already used to providing a PIN for their debit cards. The reason for not using PINs for most credit cards is that card issuers are trying to keep things simple. She said that the explanation she gets from banks is, "We don't want to have to teach Americans how to do two things at once."
But there's also the concern about teaching merchants how to do new things, observed Dick Mitchell, solutions director for Randstad Technology Deployment Services. Mitchell handles deployment of new card reader machines for merchants. "They have to have the right POS terminal," Mitchell said, noting that the merchant's processor also has to support use of EMV chips. But he also noted that a major effort is training the staff in how to use the new technology.
Some small U.S. merchants have already made the switch to accepting cards with chips, as have a few larger companies. Some Walmart stores already accept chip and PIN cards. The company has also announced that Sam's Club stores will begin issuing cards with EMV chips and will accept those cards starting by the end of 2014.
Further reading
Target, the big-box retailer that was hit with a point-of-sale data breach that affected more than 70 million customers and stimulated the discussion about the urgent need for chip and PIN cards, has announced that it will begin issuing and accepting EMV cards by the end of 2014.
Unfortunately, there are still needs that have to be addressed before merchants can start accepting EMV chips. The most significant one is training of card issuer employees. One Bank of America executive told eWEEK recently that there were no issuers of chip-based cards in the U.S., and that in fact it was technically illegal for those cards to be used in the United States. It's worth noting that Bank of America is one of the card issuers already providing EMV chips for portions of its credit card user base.
It's also worth noting that right now, only merchants with POS terminals are being required to support EMV chips. There's a two-year delay in the liability shift for ATMs and for fuel dispensers at gas stations.
Despite the seemingly slow pace of movement, the U.S. is moving forward, with much of the transition taking place well in advance of the liability shift in 2015. So now it's important that we all watch out for other types of credit card fraud and related crime. The criminals aren't giving up, which means neither can you.
Editor's Note: This article was corrected to clarify who who will be liable for fraud resulting from lost or stolen credit cards after the implementation of EMV Cards.

Her wide smile and graceful pose show her relaxed personality, and the spreading skirt and shaping of the ribbon detail produces a dynamic feeling. The frill of the skirt is precisely reproduced, and the unique sense of sheerness by the clear parts gives a sharp contrast. Differences in shading, and the use of pearl paint also give a beautiful depth to this stunning figure!

Counting Calories Might Not Be Helping Your Weightloss
Source: exodusinternational
There is a common understanding that when it comes to losing weight, you have to cut back on calories. But just having a restricted calorie diet isn't good enough. All calories aren't created equal. One of the dangers of calorie counting is becoming obsessive. If you find yourself feeling stressed about it, consider a different approach. A better approach to losing weight is to focus on eating lean protein, only whole grain carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. By focusing on a healthy and balanced diet, you'll likely end up eating fewer calories. Just stay away from empty, non-nutritious calories.

So how many of you have tried quilting? I've made a handful of quilts, never larger than throw size and while I like it, I know I still have a LOT to learn. I am by no means an expert. But that doesn't mean you can't still make some beautiful quilts with simple techniques! If the method is easy that gives you more time to focus on color and composition which can be the most fun part anyway. Because seriously I hate cutting little fiddly pieces of fabric out. Snooze.

Project Snapshot
Project Limits: Spring Street from 1st Street to 9th Street; Main Street from Cesar Chavez Avenue to 9th Street
Project Intent: Improve intersections and crossings for people walking, upgrade the existing buffered bicycle lanes to protected bicycle lanes, reduce bus-bicycle conflicts, maximize parking/loading, and increase bus efficiency
In partnership with Councilmember José Huizar's DTLA FORWARD Initiative, this Vision Zero project will better organize Main and Spring Streets to improve intersections and crossings for people walking, upgrade the existing buffered bicycle lanes to protected bicycle lanes, reduce bus-bicycle conflicts, maximize parking/loading, and increase bus efficiency.
The City has prioritized this project as part of its Vision Zero initiative. Portions of Main and Spring Streets fall along the Vision Zero High Injury Network, those streets in the city with higher numbers of severe and fatal traffic crashes affecting people walking and bicycling. From 2009-2013 in this project area, traffic crashes killed 2 people walking and 1 person driving, and severely injured 1 person walking, 3 bicycling, and 5 driving. Four of these crashes involved older adults and children.
Main and Spring Streets are also the heart of public life and vibrancy in Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA), connecting multiple neighborhoods. A more organized street will help all road users be more visible and predictable to one another, and allow buses and vehicles to travel more efficiently, improving the safety, comfort, and quality of the public realm.
People walking must cross long intersections while vehicles turn across their path. The bicycle lane is sometimes blocked with buses or vehicles and their doors. Parking and right turns are challenging.
Phase One will improve safety, comfort, and predictability for everyone, creating a healthier, more organized street. Upgrades include: crossing improvements for people walking; flexible, reflective posts; protected bicycle lanes; bicycle signals; dedicated left-turn pockets; and less conflicts for buses.
Phase Two will further enhance the street and provide more physical protection for people walking and bicycling. Proposed upgrades include: concrete islands at intersections; and concrete curbs for the length of the block.

The story of New Orleans and General Electric's unlikely partnership and the rebuilding city's efforts to turn itself into a tech hub are featured in Forbes magazine's Sept. 29 issue.
Forbes credits GE's Mike DeBoer, who heads GE Capital's 225-person software engineering center in New Orleans, as well as local and state efforts, for helping make the city a popular career spot for computer programmers.
New Orleans' pitch to GE included training subsidies and great leases, not to mention the willingness of the University of New Orleans Computer Science Department to reshape its curriculum to better serve software engineering firms' needs. For example, UNO added a database class and web-design, while emphasizing team projects since that's how software engineers work on projects. The college also made the curriculum less math-heavy, dropping a differential equations class to fit in the database course.
GE Capital now hires a dozen UNO juniors and seniors each year as part-time apprentices, allowing them to shadow experienced engineers and do a little coding themselves.

It is a very sunny day in your town and the only thing missing is the sight of your smile and your pearly white teeth. But, since you don't feel confident with your teeth because of the misalignments, you just shy away and miss the opportunity to pour happiness on others. It's a sad story, but truthfully, you are not the only person in the world who suffers the same fate.
Malocclusion- this is what they call the condition of misalignment of the teeth in the medical world. Apart from causing a major blow on someone's self-esteem, this condition could pave for the early onset of periodontal diseases and later on systemic diseases such as diabetes and heart problems.
The best part about this condition is that you don't need to completely shut yourself out from smiling or even risk yourself with periodontal diseases because it can be corrected and you even have the option to go for Clear Braces London, instead of the usual kind of metallic braces. But of course, not everyone is completely on board with the idea, so, let's take a look at 5 simple reasons why you should change your mind about wearing Clear Braces London now.
- Your teeth's alignment improves a lot
It does give you a more aligned looking set of teeth especially after the given amount of time that you need to keep it on. The other advantage of which is that you don't need to worry how you would look like with braces on.
A lot of people don't really feel like wearing braces because of the stereotypes of individuals who wear braces. They don't particularly look attractive to most individuals, thanks to
- These are removable so you could still eat conveniently
Another common problem that people with braces deal with on a regular basis is having a hard time to eat. The restriction of the mouth's movement and the pain accompanying it, most especially for the newbies is really a major turn off for those who haven't tried it yet. Thanks to invention of the Clear Braces which are by the way removable, eating wouldn't be a big of an issue anymore.
- You also get to stay away from bad breaths caused by poorly groomed metallic braces
Apart from the convenience of eating comfortably, you can also save yourself from the horrors of bad breath caused by poorly groomed braces. This is among the most common complains of people with braces The condition is caused by the accumulated food particles in between the parts of the braces. They get stuck in the spaces and eventually create that unpleasant smell.
- No more need to worry of broken tooth
Having Malocclusions can really de damaging to your teeth. Depending on the severity of the condition, your teeth might be pushing each other creating painful sensations accompanied by headache. There are also several cases when some of your teeth get damaged. Avoiding dental intervention would result to more expenses for teeth restoration procedures.
- You get to smile more and live a healthier life
Bottom line is, it's all about your health and your happiness. Who doesn't want to be able to be healthier and be able to smile more, right? No more misaligned teeth to be insecure about, or heavy lining of plaque accumulated in between the wrong places, and no more painful tooth problems that prevent you from sleeping during cold nights.
Taking care of one part of your body is as important as taking care of the whole body. Sometimes we tend to forget about this and ignore them thinking that they wouldn't cause us any problem, when in reality, they could be the reason why we are able to contract serious illnesses. Now that you know these 5 simple reasons why you should wear Clear Braces, how do you feel about using them? Comment below, let us know!

"Okay Mommy!" he said as he drew closer so I could whisper in his ear.
I held his sweet head in my hands and softly spoke "Mommy has a baby in her belly!"
"Yay yay yay!" He exclaimed! He jumped back excitedly and shrieked… "After you have this one, can you have this [holding up three or four more fingers] many more?"
I laughed. "I don't know about more babies H, let's just take it one baby at a time."
"Okay!" he answered, excitedly skipping off down the stairs with a grin on his face. Later he got to be the one to share the little secret with his Uncle and Aunt.
That was the day after our surprise arrival to the U.S. and the day we showed up at the grandparent's homes and workplaces to surprise them one by one. You probably didn't notice the little gift bag that was included in all the photos. The big kids had on Santa hats and the new baby's Santa hat was in the bag with a note that said "Baby #3, in time for Christmas next year!"
Once the grandparents got over the shock of seeing us, they opened the bag and had another wonderful surprise to add to the celebration. Another grandbaby! It was a happy day.
Life went on and I was so thrilled that I was finally carrying around a little one again. I was mentally planning the rest of the pregnancy and excitedly dreaming of the the day when we would welcome our little summer baby. We were so happy.
But just as I was expecting the morning sickness to begin, bleeding began instead. The doctor advised us to go the hospital and we did. There was nothing that could be done. We were loosing the baby.
We were devastated.
I had plans to make a tiny little onesie with "Made in India" written on the front. I was all ready to watch my belly grow and to give H what he's been asking for. I wanted to make Sweet N a mini-Mommy, armed with pacis to jam in lil' summer baby's mouth and stuffed animals to hand over for comfort when the little newborn cries started.
The holidays came and went and there wasn't any sickness as I had expected. There was no more baby. Instead there were nights of crying into my husband's arms because I thought I was supposed to have been puking by Christmas, but I didn't feel sick. I was supposed to have a wee one growing inside, but my body wasn't nurturing that special little life any longer.
If you ask my boy, he'll tell you that Mommy's next baby died. His precious big blue eyes welled up with tears when I told him. I explained that the baby is in heaven with Jesus and he understood me, but he looked at me with pleading eyes… "No Mama, I wanted that baby".
We did too sweetheart, we did too.
I have written letters to each of my children as I learned of my pregnancies. I want them to grow up knowing of the joy and expectation we felt as they began to grow in my womb. Those letters have become the beginning pages of their baby books. Here I'll post the letter that I wrote to my third baby. I do not want to forget that even though our baby lived a very short time, that his/her little life was cherished.
Dear Sweet Little One,
We had a premonition that you were with us as we made the journey from our three months in Jordan back home to surprise our families for Christmas. You weren't making your Mama puke yet so traveling with you was a breeze!
When we surprised our families with our arrival, we surprised them with you too! Your big brother and sister had on Santa hats and we put yours in a gift bag for your grandparents to open: "Baby #3, in time for Christmas next year!", I wrote on the note. Everyone loved it.
We've been hoping and praying for you for awhile so we're thrilled that we'll soon have you in our arms – to love you and hold you. Oh how you'll add joy to our lives!
You've got a pretty special family to join. Your Daddy is incredible and your brother and sister are so so special! You're going to be very well loved! H is SO excited that you're on the way and even though N doesn't quite understand yet, I am certain she'll be your little Mama and love taking care of you.
I can't wait to feel you grow inside me. You are loved so much already.
(A bouquet from my parents we received a couple weeks later… two yellow roses for our children we have in our lives and our arms and a white rose for the child we'll meet in heaven.)

Monica Stephenson has been sharing her passion for jewelry and the artists who create it since 2008. Her iDazzle blog was one of the first of its kind, intelligently delving deep into trends, designers and the industry at large. Not content to simply visit designers' studios and attend trade events, Monica has braved the elements (and lack of toilet paper) to journey to the far corners of the earth so that she can crawl around in gem mines and get down and dirty with the source of all of this beauty. While I've always enjoyed following along with Monica's many travels over social media, it was her last trip that inspired the most intense level of envy.
Immediately after taking home the Women's Jewelry Association's (WJA) Awards for Excellence in the Editorial Category, Monica and her family left for Europe to celebrate her and her husband's 20th wedding anniversary. As I endured the sweltering humidity of a New York City summer, I occasionally took respite in stalking Monica over social media so that I could live vicariously through her. I caught up with Monica fresh off her flight from Paris for a download on her trip and a conversation about life, work and her secrets to a successful marriage.
COUTURE: Have you and your husband always been big travelers?
Monica Stephenson: We traveled a fair amount in our 20's and early 30's, and when our two girls were little, we traveled but it was more domestically, to see family. In the last 3-4 years we've really picked up traveling again. It's always been a love and a priority but it's only recently that we've been able to indulge.
COUTURE: So tell me a bit more about your latest indulgence.
MS: Last summer we spent 7 weeks in France—5 weeks in Paris and 2 weeks in the South of France—so on that trip, we checked a lot of things off the list. We climbed the towers of Notre Dame, we went to the Louvre every week; we did all of those things you would think of as quintessential Paris attractions or places of interest. So on this trip, we stayed in the same apartment in the Marais so we had our neighborhood and we knew the cafes, where to shop, the best boulangerie to buy bread. It made it easier to go back to the same place because it felt more like living there and we were able to take each day as it came a bit more, it was more relaxing because we knew where to go and what to expect. And kids love tradition, they love seeing the same places and the same things and going to their favorite restaurants; it makes a difference. And it was interesting to see what they chose to do, like returning to the Pompidou Center, versus me being travel director. We did have a few things scheduled—we hired a driver to take us to the Loire Valley to see castles, we made a reservation to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower—but we loved the serendipity of playing it by ear.
COUTURE: How old are your girls? Are they good travelers?
MS: The girls are 11 and 8 and they're very good little travelers, they enjoy it as much as we do. At least I don't think I'm dragging them through cathedrals and museums completely against their will! My husband [Dave] and I believe that travel is a gift that we give our children. The reason I travel is because I enjoy seeing a different perspective, a different aesthetic and the approach of a different culture. When our girls get to see those things at this point in their lives, by having this exposure to all of these things earlier, they learn a lot. They're so curious and they absorb things in a way that's different than an adult. And I think it's important to take them out of their comfort zone. While it's important to travel and unplug and unwind on occasion, I generally would choose something that requires a bit more energy, if not even vigilance. Not speaking the language, navigating public transportation; I like those challenges!
COUTURE: So you were celebrating your 20th Anniversary….I had a chance to chat with you and your husband a bit right before the WJA event, you seem like you're still pretty crazy about each other after all this time. To what do you attribute that success?
MS: I would say that's true, we are smitten with each other! We're the same as we were 20 years ago, but in many ways, we're different. We've grown and changed and we've had many incredible experiences together, and some independently, and we're still very much into each other. There's something to be said for not being selfish, for putting the other person first, and if you feel you're in a balanced relationship, it's safe to do that because you know it's your turn next time. If I approach Dave and say, 'I feel I need to go to Africa and crawl around in gem mines and get to know the source of this industry,' his response is, 'Okay, great! If you feel that's important, I'll support you and help you.' And if he comes to me and says, 'I really feel I need to go on this ski trip to this place where there's only a satellite phone in the arctic circle…' I can say, 'That's awesome, go for it! Just please come back!' There's this give and take and truly putting the other person and their needs on the same plane, if not higher, than your own. That's gone a long way to make us successful as a couple, we try to take turns supporting each other's careers, and with the kids, it's a partnership–it's not just one person shouldering everything. I don't think I would have won the WJA Award without his encouragement and support.
COUTURE: Did you have a big date night to celebrate (I mean, in addition to the trip as a whole, of course!)?
MS: It was a whole day of celebrating! While we had our apartment, we left the girls with my mom and got completely away and stayed at the W Hotel in the Opera District. We had a great lunch, went shopping and walking around, and then hung out and took our time getting ready. Then we went to the Eiffel Tower to Le Jules Verne for dinner. We had a spectacular, literally, the best, table in the restaurant, and we just had a really wonderful experience! Afterwards, we went to the 2nd floor of Hotel Costas for an after dinner drink. It was a super fun, memorable day and night.
COUTURE: That sounds like a major highlight of the trip! Any other highlights?
MS: Well of course, I took some time to incorporate jewelry into my trip! I scheduled a tour with Alexis, who goes by Bijoux_Society on Instagram. She's a jewelry obsessive, American in Paris, fluent in French who takes people on tours of jewelry. You can skew more towards historical, or towards high end marquee French brands like Cartier, Boucheron, and Van Cleef and Arpels. So I got to explore jewelry for a day in this very insider, very interesting and compelling way. I'm sort of a history geek and I know a little bit about the French monarchy and lineage so it was fun to go to Palais Royale where the origins of jewelry started in French culture, because that was the earliest place where the aristocracy would go out. In those days, there were casinos and restaurants, and not just wives, but also courtesans, would go there, so a lot of jewelry was purchased and given at that location. From there we walked to to Les Arts Decoratifs and saw some incredible, historical jewelry. We ended at Place Vendome and the venerable jewelry houses there. It was fun because I got to dig into jewelry in a way that was different than walking into a retail store, and I'm not sure I would have opened those doors and walked right in without Alexis, it can be intimidating! But I have to say, once we were inside people could not have been more gracious and welcoming, it was a lovely experience; they appreciate it if you appreciate it. So that was definitely a highlight. It was a day on my own and an example of taking care of myself. It fed me in a way that was just for me, that was my treat to myself!
COUTURE: Well speaking on behalf of the entire COUTURE team, congratulations on your big WJA win and your 20th Anniversary, and here's to many more treats in the next 20 years!

With apologies to Don Henley: Here's Okkervil River's outlaw cover of 'End of the Innocence'
The grumpy Eagles drummer tried to stop them from releasing this song.
The grumpy Eagles drummer tried to stop them from releasing this song.
Tom Petty said his new album was going to rock. And, it's clear now, he meant it.
The group is also getting geared up for the World Cup. Well, all but one of them.
This song from the Band is Garth Hudson's triumph, his musical testament, his masterpiece.
This majestic, simmering music is a captivating soundtrack looking for an epic film.
The famous duo hasn't issued an album of new songs since 2003's 'Do It For Love.'
The Pink Floyd legend was clearly touched by the people, and poverty, of Buenos Aires.
The title is derived from Creole patois for "wonderful." And wonderful, it is.

(Reuters) - Cyber security start-up CrowdStrike is expanding its board of directors with the addition of former executives from JP Morgan Chase & Co <JPM.N> and software maker McAfee.
CrowdStrike named former McAfee Chief Strategy Officer Gerhard Watzinger as its nonexecutive chairman. During his stint in that post he helped sell the company to Intel Corp <INTC.O> for $7.7 billion.
The firm also named former JP Morgan Chief Information Officer Denis O'Leary to its board. In his 25-year career at the bank he also served as director of finance, head of retail branch banking and a member of its nine-member executive committee.
O'Leary is currently managing partner of Encore Financial Partners Inc, a company that acquires and manages U.S.-based banks.
George Kurtz, the former worldwide chief technology officer of McAfee, and Dmitri Alperovitch, that company's former vice president of threat research, founded CrowdStrike in February with initial capital from private equity firm Warburg Pincus.

I've been away for a while, but only because the world wasn't ready for my particular brand of wit and sarcasm (e.g. that Obama post from way back when. I mean seriously, I voted for the guy. AND NOW LOOK AT HIM... winning Nobel Peace Prizes. [Babetron, will you please edit my capitalization and punctuation?] Sorry folks, I went to public school... IN ORACLE, ARIZONA. Look it up. We had gangs. It was tough being a white kid. I was valedictorian, but only because I slept with the science teacher. Joking. Totally joking. She was hideous.)
If I didn't do that parentheses trick right I'm sorry. It's been a while since calculus. (I can do derivatives. I was valedictorian of my jr. high in case you are bad at reading.)
Anyway, I love that "Gold Digger" jam. It's ridiculously off the hook. And having lived in Chicago (SOUTH SIDE) I feel like I should certainly support Kanye. But, the guy is amazingly ridiculous. Can we please laugh at him and then go back to busting out some funky jams. Seriously... that song is amazing.
Also if you are wondering why I do not post more often... I AM GOING THROUGH A MORAL DILEMMA. (Not a diorama. Those include a lot more dinosaurs and vinegar + baking soda volcanoes.) I think blogs are a narcissistic stage for the self-important to proclaim their insignificant observations/victories/milestones.
Just kidding interwebs. I love you. Can I has cheeseburger? (Seriously, Babetron ... that last sentence is OK.)
So, why have I decided to revisit this rapidly decaying medium? BECAUSE... I miss you. I still hold firm that YouTube is the one quasi-successful example of anarchy. I have listened to a lot of Propaghandi and as much as I love the idea of (A)narchy (that is supposed to be an "A" with a circle around it) I know of few political ideals (I'm looking at YOU communism), anarchy included, that work as well in practice as anarchy vis-a-vis YouTube. (If I need to explain this to you, please feel free to comment. I am an argumentative mother effer. [Is that cool? I know a couple of moms who read this blog. I'm not trying to teach your kids bad language.])
In short, if I have any knowledge to drop on the world it is this:
* If you are living in Chicago and not going to every single Gossip show you can afford you are doing it wrong.
* Please put in "Hank Williams III" into Pandora
(the Greek myth is way cooler). You will not be sad at the gluttony of jams that spring forth.
* The only good turtle is turtle soup. -Shredder
I have a lot more knowledge to drop, but you are not ready for it.
Also, Babetron is seriously cute and does not dabble in such ridiculous trolling. So please don't blame her for any comments my A.I. programming has made me contribute to the interwebs.
p.s. Jay... we should get into a full fledged argument about politics. I am going through a major paradigm shift. I don't think we should have elected leaders. We should resort to gladiator arenas to find the strongest and most capable. No seriously, what's so great about the electoral college? (You can't even get a degree. I've tried.*) *babetron/editor's note: puh-dum, ching.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really loved this book! I was pulled in right away and read non stop until I was finished.
It was funny, sweet, sexy and dramatic! I have to admit, I was prepared to hate the twins, or at least one of them.
Clara is the bad girl and Maggie is the good girl. Good twin, evil twin. They are both so very different, but love the same guy.
Maggie and Clara are both likable, despite who you think should be with Leo. They both present an image, and like Leo, layers are torn off and you meet two very different girls. I was torn between the two girls because I genuinely wanted to see them both happy. They both have their moments where you want to smack them too, but what good heroine doesn't make you feel like that at some point?!
I loved Leo! He was an ass and a jerk, but the more layers you pulled away, the more I fell in love. He's rich, arrogant and downright mean at times, but he would do anything for the ones he cares about. His friendship with Maggie is touching. I would fight my sister over him any day.
The story was funny enough to make me laugh at time, then I would be pulling my hair out in frustration with one of the guys or girls! I couldn't stop reading, and I enjoyed every second of it. I was believable, touching and sexy!
Team Clara!

1) Equity beats inflation and provides superior return over other asset classes in the long run.
2) Good years are more than bad years. Based on the past we can say 70% of the time it is good years.
3) Not possible to time the market. Need to stay invested through both good and bad years to reap the long term return.
4) 10% correction once a year is a normal. Should not be surprised whenever it occurs. Only non occurrence should be a surprise.
5) 20% correction once in few years and 30% fall once in a decade is also very normal. Need to live through this roller coaster ride to enjoy high returns which equities offer.
6) Better to avoid checking portfolio during the periods of market turbulence. Once a year review is good enough, more so during bear markets.
7) Need to withstand emotional pain during the corrections and falls. Any adverse reaction to emotional pain would convert temporary notional loss into permanent real loss.
8) Invest when you've money. Redeem when you need money. Ensure there is not less than 10 year time gap between both.
9) Have strong filters when you consume market news. If it is not possible, you would be better off ignoring such news and updates.
10) Patience, discipline and staying the course would ensure you reach your goals and become wealthy. Always work on developing these traits.
