You know when you love someone/something to the point where it can become unhealthy? This is exactly what I'm currently facing with sweet potato now HAHHAA. yeah I know, it's a health food, so it shouldn't be a problem if I eat a lot of it right? Wrong. I'm the kind of person who gets crazy obsessions and I swear I could finish like 10 sweet potatoes (I'm not even exaggerating here guys) if my mom had enough stock for me omg. I don't even crave for fast food, sweet desserts, or other kinds of "sin food" as much as I crave for sweet potatoes!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT SO MUCH. HAHAHA I really need to control myself, my love for food can sometimes really get out of hand. 😂😅
P.s update on late night snacking: I survived yesterday night!!!! Didn't eat a single thing after I bruised my teeth, surprisingly, I was pretty full after dinner so I didn't really feel the need to consume food. Water kept me pretty sastisfied. 😌

Have you heard this story? If not, I suspect you're far from alone:
Sometime Friday night, April 1, 2011, which was also the Jewish Sabbath, the Washington Post published, online, a rather remarkable op-ed piece by South African jurist Richard Goldstone. Essentially, Goldstone recanted his own "Goldstone Report," a document which has been used against Israel in countless, damaging ways, a document which accuses Israel of possible "war crimes" and "crimes against humanity" in its incursion into Gaza in response to the 10,000 rockets Hamas launched towards Israeli civilians in Sderot and southern Israel--a document which charges Israel with having "purposely targeted civilians in Gaza."
Goldstone now admits that all the above charges are wrong, false, are based on too-little-information or on flawed-information. He partly blames Israel for not "co-operating" with the venomously biased Human Rights Council, but in truth, Goldstone really had available much of the information which is now contained in Israel's painfully careful investigation of what happened in Gaza.
Israel looked into the false allegations that it had "targeted civilians" and investigated itself thoroughly. Of course, although Goldstone also charged Hamas with this same task--Hamas did not do so. Now, rather late in the day, Goldstone has finally noted that there are actually some important differences between an open, transparent, lawful, ethical, and democratic Jewish state and an Islamist-terrorist organization such as Hamas.
The New York Times, living up to its anti-semitic meme, refused to publish the piece:
Judge Richard Goldstone's expressions of regret about the Goldstone Commission Report for the UN Human Rights Commission into Israel's incursion into Gaza in early 2009, Operation Cast Lead, has not received the hoped-for coverage in the world, especially compared with the original report.
Hebrew daily "Yediot Ahronot" today cites a source close Goldstone as saying that he originally approached the "The New York Times", one of the world's top newspapers, to publish his article, but that its Op-ed editor refused. Goldstone published his article in "The Washington Post" on Friday.
We await Thomas Friedman's balanced response to Goldstone's recantation. It should hit the streets about the same time Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan publish their own.

I don't know why The Cribs aren't doing hot in the U.S. Are you tired of British bands landing on your soil, America? Do they make you cry? They might rock based on a formula, but you cannoy deny their power. They are growing. They are also teaming up with OC loves and going on tour.
Just got an e-mail announcing that The Cribs have been picked up to tour with Scots Franz Ferdinand and Washingtonians Death Cab for Cutie on their co-headlining tour that already makes your head hurt.

"We have many challenging years ahead with tight budgets and a need to grow private sector jobs,'' Cox said in a statement. "I look forward to working hard with House Republicans and all of my legislative colleagues to address these challenges and the aspirations of the people of Virginia as the next House majority leader."
Del. Bill Janis (R-Goochland) was elected Majority Whip, replacing Cox. Janis defeated Del. Kathy Byron (R-Lynchburg) in the race for Majority Whip.

It was one of those summer days where the sun shone brightly in the unclouded sky, the birds were chirping cheerfully, and the wind gently rustled the leaves overhead. Oh...and don't forget the plump, juicy blackberries which clung to their vines, just waiting to be plucked off.
Berry stained fingers are the result of an oh-so-scrumptious mid-morning snack.

May 1 - Fan Favorites
The countrywide Belgian radiostation 'Radio 1' broadcasted the annual 'Classics' live show. Last year listeners (and website visitors) voted Elvis #1 as most remarkable voice heard on the radio, this year Elvis had three songs in the Top 200: Heartbreak Hotel (#173), "Jailhouse Rock (#69) and "Suspicious Minds" (#13).
Book Cover
The Dutch newspaper Volkskrant published a series of books on classic artists. The book on Warhol features Elvis Presley on the cover.
Follow That Dream Top 40
Compared to last month there is no visible movement in the Top 5 of the FTD Top 40. The recent "Elvis Now" has gathered its first votes, but is not storming the list like "Good Times" did.
The current Top 5:
1 (1) The Jungle Room Sessions (2000)
2 (2) Elvis Is Back! (2005)
3 (3) That's The Way It Is (2008)
4 (5) Elvis Country (2008)
5 (4) Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis (2004)
Import Top 40
Compared to last month the Top 5 of the Import Top 40 slightly changed. The classic "A Hot Winter Night In Dallas" climbed one spot, pushing "American Crown Jewels" back to number 3. At the bottom of the Top 10 "Brightest Star On Sunset Boulevard" occupies the numbers 8, 9 and 10: the two original volumes are just preceding the 2CD re-release.
The current Top 5 is:
1 (1) A Greensboro Revolution! (2008)
2 (3) A Hot Winter Night In Dallas (1998)
3 (2) American Crown Jewels (1996)
4 (4) Closing Night February 1970 (2008)
5 (5) One Night Only! (2006)

Her godson figured out how to turn on the monitor. I think he's teleworking right here:
Emily got these cups from Starbucks when she was in London last year. They're barely making an appearance in the US!
We went to a breakfast spot that had ginormous pancakes:

Staff Writernew face of Bobbi Brown cosmetics! When asked why she chose Upton for the honor, Bobbi Brown replied, "I was drawn to Kate because – not only is she incredibly beautiful – she is healthy, comfortable in her own skin, has such positive energy, and is a woman who creates her own rules. She loves life and that is Pretty Powerful." The former Sports Illustrated model is also looking forward to the campaign launch: "I'm thrilled to be the face of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics. Bobbi is an American success story – she created a global brand from an idea that women can be beautiful being exactly who they are and I love that." Brown's brand gained popularity because of its natural and timeless color palette. The success of the brand is a testament to Brown's celebration of female beauty, and Upton's campaign will continue to promote Brown's signature congenial style.

Loss of money that has been acquired through an installment of a structured settlement is not as severe as loss of money acquired through a lump sum payment. The small amounts are easy to manage and also do not excite the interest of unscrupulous elements as compared to hefty lump sum payments.
With a structured settlement, an individual does not need to worry about planning for long-term investments as the periodic payments can be structured to take adequate care of one's needs post retirement or in the case of a debilitating injury. Structured settlements are favored by both the defendant and the plaintiff as they can be settled without having to go to court. This saves time and is often cheaper for the defendant who would otherwise have to pay more with an in-court settlement. The risks involved for both parties are reduced with a structured settlement as per which the defendant is contractually bound to pay the plaintiff. Also, attorney costs for a out-of-court negotiated structured settlement are lower than what they would be if a litigation were to be filed in court. Attorney fees can come down by as much as 8% to 10% for a structured settlement achieved out of court. This can mean a saving of thousands of dollars for the defendant as structured settlements can often run into more than a million dollars.
Structured settlements allow insurance companies to provide payment to claimants at a lower cost and the payment schedule can be set according to a claimant's convenience. A structured settlement can be used to provide for certain costs of an individual right from the stage when he is a minor. The money can be disbursed for college expenses or to meet the costs of higher education. Periodic lump sums made available to an injured person can be used to make medicinal purchases and sustain oneself.
One reason for the popularity of structured settlements is that they can be availed in a variety of formats; these include lump sum payments made periodically when funds are required for medical expenses, education, or marriage; percentage increase annuities that offer annually increasing payments that help to counter inflation; deferred annuities that enable to defer the commencement of payment to a later date; period certain annuities that can be combined with a lump sum payment for receiving payment over a fixed period; and joint and survivor annuities in which payments are continued to the survivor annuitant if the primary annuitant passes away.

WHY would anyone want to buy a City stockbroker right now?
London's brokerages are in a lamentable state after a dismal first half of the year and feel they are being squeezed until their pips squeak.
The uncertainty and volatility plaguing markets has caused a deal drought among UK corporates that has slashed broking revenues.
Adding to the woes is a surfeit of broking boutiques creating chronic overcapacity in the sector, while depressed commission levels and rising salary costs are further threats.
Broking chiefs have warned for months that consolidation has to come soon as weaker firms are squeezed out of a shrinking market.
That is now translating into a "survival of the fittest" scenario as brokers become takeover targets – or face extinction.
The first casualties are already becoming apparent. Arbuthnot Securities, the broking arm of an investment bank and wealth management group, is restructuring after it fell to a £3.4m first-half pre-tax loss. Matrix Group is cutting about two thirds of its broking operation.
But this squeeze also puts far healthier brokers in the spotlight for acquisitive groups to snap up cheaply. Evolution's solid reputation and broad client base make it an attractive buy, while the security of a larger group would bolster it against the current uncertainty.
Whether this news heralds the start of a shakedown in City broking remains to be seen. But such deals may just produce a healthier overall industry in the end.

text: Several people asked about the pen I used in yesterday's post. It is an Elegant Writer. I had watched a youtube video by Karlyn Holman which if you are interested in the way the pen works is definitely worth watching. She also shows how you can "fix" the ink so that you can add watercolors at some point. Here is a link to it. I am hoping to use her process on a larger painting.

21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pharan, and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt. 22 At the same time Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army said to Abraham: God is with thee in all that thou dost. 23 Swear therefore by God, that thou wilt not hurt me, nor my posterity, nor my stock: but according to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land wherein thou hast lived a stranger. 24 And Abraham said: I will swear. 25 And he reproved Abimelech for a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.
26 And Abimelech answered: I knew not who did this thing: and thou didst not tell me, and I heard not of it till today. 27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a league. 28 And Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs of the flock. 29 And Abimelech said to him: What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set apart? 30 But he said: Thou shalt take seven ewe lambs at my hand: that they may be a testimony for me, that I dug this well.

After struggling through Laura Restrepo's story of madness and the drug trade in Colombia I decided a change of pace was in order. So, I'm reading Carmen Martín Gaite.
Caperucita en Manhattan is a Little Red Riding Hood update. The first half of the story has little obvious relation to the fable, being instead a rather hard-nosed look from the viewpoint of a young child at inadequate parenting. The language is very straight-forward and accessible to about any aged reader. The second part of the book is more of a playful fantasy; the whole thing is a delightful read. I'll be done with the book in a couple days, but I also have La Reina de las Nieves ready to go.
Carmen Martín Gaite was a unique personality who wrote many fine books; I'm sorry I did not become aware of her work before she died not very long ago. She was one of that generation of Spanish women writers like Matute and Laforet who were able to slip under the radar of Franco's censors to produce great literature during Spain's nightmarish post-war years.

A vital idea to remember with rental real estate is that you wish to make certain you have a great feel for your tenants prior to leasing to them. This is important due to the fact that you not only need to prepare as best you can for how long they plan on leasing, but also if they will pay on time and treat your home well. When you buy industrial property, think huge and optimize revenues. If you are about to purchase a small apartment complex, and they make you buy a commercial property license, it can be quite an inconvenience instead of a profit.
Another advantage of buying realty for investment functions is the possible tax benefits that one may get as a result of possessing the financial investment property. Depending upon a range of factors, people who have financial investment home might simply see some thoughtful tax benefits as a result. For that reason, people might be more than prepared to buy realty once they have actually looked into possible tax benefits that arise from taking part in a deal of this kind. Make the most of possible tax benefits and maybe even make a significant profit from the sale of the property once the individual feels like doing so.
Real estate in China
When you're offering your house do not let your ego or pride obstruct about our home. It isn't really about you it has to do with your home. Yes, it might be simply brick and cement however these individuals are looking for their future home. Be inviting and going to let people do a walk-through. Obviously you would not want to purchase something without being in it. Don't be afraid to offer your house and trade up during a realty slump. Keep in mind that if the market price on your home is down, the selling price on the house you wish to buy into is likewise down.
Ensure that the offer you make on your desired property is appealing to the seller. Confer with your real estate agent and attorney so you have a sensible strategy in the offer you make. If your offer is targeted to the sellers wishes, they will certainly not think twice to move forward with your offer.
As we stated up top, info is certainly king in realty and any other market for that matter. Prior to you decide to act on any property, regardless of size or rate, you need to be informed as a purchaser so that you do not wind up losing your financial investment.
Ensure you understand all the information provided to you and if you do not comprehend it, have your property lawyer review the documents with you so you have a strong, working knowledge of the cost and return of the home. When purchasing a home that you plan to lease, make sure you understand all the regional laws associating with rental homes. For instance, you might need a minimum size for a space to count as a room, or you may be required to supply a certain quantity of parking.
Purchase low and sell high. This pointer of money making in general is likewise extremely relevant to real estate. With the dip in the nationwide property market, now is a good time to buy low. Intend on hanging on to your investment for at least a few years so that you can cash in on that "sell high" part of the equation. When purchasing a residence, do not offer the asking cost. When noting the asking price of a home, sellers and realty agents almost always add a couple of thousands dollars onto a property's real value, because they anticipate purchasers to provide below the asking cost.

The Path
Had a lot to think about tonight. And really, I think that I think too much. Get it? Sometimes you just have to relax and allow life to come to you. And I have been trying way too hard to chase it. Someone reminded me today that things have been flowing for me, that they have been moving forward. While I have felt as if life were stagnating before me, he gave me many examples of how things are moving right along. There is so much I wish to accomplish here, and I am ( as always) feeling impatient, looking for signs and feeling dissatisfied with my own progress. Silly me. After he pointed out numerous details, I realize that things are moving quite quickly. And that explains a lot of things. How many times do I have to remind myself that things will come to me at the perfect moment. I have to stop wishing. There are things that I (think I ) want, but if I just relax and allow, they will come to me. Would I rather be patient and get exactly what is right for me, or be impatient and just settle? Settling would not serve anyone. Life feels a little hard right now. And I understand that this is of my own making. I am not complaining, mind you. This is a happy post. Since you are not hearing the inflection in my voice and seeing the expression on my face, it may be difficult to ascertain that. I am just at a pivotal point in my development right now where I realize that these difficulties are lessons that must be learned and the hurdles overcome before I can evolve to the next level. And believe me, I am ready to evolve. I do not want anything holding me back, and am ready for the next step, the rewards of peace and tranquility. When I am able to realize certain key things about myself ( I will keep them to myself right now and just speak of the lessons in general terms ), and let them go, work through them , realize them for what they are, overcome them, they will cease to be roadblocks in my way and the path will open up. And that is when this journey is going to get REALLY fun.
Hope all of my dear friends will join me.

Bear Creek Anglers is a fly fishing guide service focused on introducing beginners to the sport of catch and release fly fishing or the novice who has spent time on the stream, but has not had success. Of course, we also take the experienced angler who wants an introduction to Northeat Iowa. We have also had the pleasure of taking a number of "senior" anglers on the stream.... those who know more than we will ever know about the sport, but are physically, just not up to the challenge of negotiating the rocky bottoms and steep banks on their own.
Northeast Iowa is home to countless coldwater streams that support catchable trout. Some of the streams have natural reproduction, so you can catch wild trout, other streams are mostly managed as 'put and take' by the local trout hatchery. Spend some time with us on the stream to learn some basics or tell us what you want out of your Northeast Iowa trout outing and we will put a trip together that meets your requirements.

Meow Wow!
Actually, the Hanna-Barbera unit at MGM used this rule, too, but Tex did it with more panache. How about the scene in 'Ventriloquist Cat' where Spike pretends to be a sex-pot female cat? (Scott Bradley plays "Frankie and Johnny" in the background). Yes, it fools the male cat, who gives us a comparatively small Avery bulge-eyed take (we do get to see the veins in the eyes) before a bit of cycle animation and then a zoom out of the frame.
The scene gets even more ridiculous with the cat wooing Spike using a voice later associated with whiny ducks in Tom and Jerry cartoons (the duck was voiced by Red Coffey but Harry Lang may be the cat in this cartoon).
The animators in this cartoon are Avery's standard threesome at the time: Walt Clinton, Mike Lah and Grant Simmons.
4 comments:
The duck voice was earlier used in "The Alley Cat", (which was basically "Butch" wooing "Toodles", and being chased by "Spike" before all three got picked up by the Tom & Jerry series). This was by Hugh Harman. Kind of annoying sound for a cat. But I guess it makes sense, as to what they might sound like if they could talk. Like Astro/Scooby for dogs.ReplyDelete
Hanna-Barbera apparently liked the voice not only on their duck, but also on the cat, since they made it one of the two Avery cartoons to get the CinemaScope treatment (albeit with some strange color choices) after they replaced Fred Quimby as MGM's Cartoon studio supervisors.ReplyDelete
What is the name of the cartoon where the cat rips the top of the dog's head off (with ears on it) and wears it as a disguise? Then at the end, the dog catches up to the cat and rips his head's top off and shouts "Meow Wow!"???ReplyDelete
'Counterfeit Cat.'ReplyDelete

If I had a dime for every time I heard someone, usually a woman (but it happens to men, too), say she wasn't feeling loved by her significant other, I'd be a very wealthy woman. And I think she's often confusing love with respect.
Love is a feeling. It is literally a cord running between your heart and your partner's, with energy flowing both ways. This is why many people, when they describe love, describe it as a warm feeling in their heart. They are literally feeling that flow of non-physical energy. Love is something that just exists. You can feel it, or not, but it is still there. You are made of the stuff of the universe, which in some sense, is love. So being loved, living in love is your birthright. You are loved by the universe simply because you exist.
Respect, on the other hand, is something you earn. You earn it through your actions, or perhaps your words or your choices, because in some sense, they are actions.
So you can be loved without being respected. Think of how you love a pet, especially if the pet pees on the living room rug. You feel the tug in your heart, the love, and you forgive it. Do you respect your pet? Not so much.
You can also be respected without being loved. This is the norm in work situations. You expect to be spoken to respectfully, to have requests made of you, rather than having orders barked at you (even if they're really orders). You expect that your opinion will be at least requested, if not acted upon, before a major change in something which is in your area of expertise and/or authority. If they don't respect your work, or your work ethic (showing up late, messing up assignments, etc.), eventually you're gone. But that warm, fuzzy feeling around your heart? It's not there, you don't even expect it to be there.
The problem is that some relationships, like intimate ones with significant others, have to be relationships of both love and respect, in order to work right.
If you are loved, but not respected in an intimate relationship, you'll end up feeling worse and worse about yourself. When you accept disrespect, rather than standing up to it, especially when it is fed to you as a steady diet, you only have two choices. You can either agree with the other person's low opinion of you, and think less of yourself; or you can disagree with that opinion, and think less of yourself for not standing up to it. Either way, you feel worse about yourself. (Abusers count on this.)
If you are respected, but not loved, in an intimate relationship, you'll feel that lack of warmth around your heart, and will know at a deep level that something is missing, even if on the surface, nothing is wrong.
So when a relationship isn't working, ask yourself: is it the love that's missing? or the respect? And is there anything I can do to change that?
This blog contains simple exercises, even thoughts, which you can use to change your life for the better, simply, easily, and pleasurably.

Love and Respect
Posted by Hollis Polk at 1:46 PM

Great distinction.
I find in many dating situations and early relationships the man focuses on respect -- do/can I respect this woman? -- and stays comfortably in that question and energy. Whether they do/can love this woman - that seems to come later, and sometimes far far down the road when they realize they've forgotten to check in with the feelings.
I don't know if it's similar for women. My current hypothesis is that my observations may be a reflection of age -- dating in the 45-55 yr old range.

The current scandals at Berkshire Hathaway are opening wide to the eye of the public what I have been saying for the past 3 years: that Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger and his close business associates are a bunch of greedy crooks, as anybody who has not been sucked into the euphoria of the markets should have forecast.
During great bull markets, driven by excessive "confidence" and positive sentiment, nobody cares about corruption, crooks, fraud, insider trading etc. This is the reason why the market can over-extend by such a massive amount. Then, when sentiment sours and markets correct and crash, all of the sudden, all these stories that didn't matter — because people were drunk, believing that there wealth was going to the stratosphere and closed their eyes on all misbehaviours — all of the sudden start to matter a lot. This is why all the insider trading cases, corruption cases, etc. are revealed during bear markets and matter only during those times.
Here are a few reports, ordered chronologically. It's a very long post, but interesting nonetheless if you have the time and will to read through it — or at least the emphasized sections.
Berkshire's Sokol Resigns After Investing in Takeover Target
March 30 (Bloomberg) -- David Sokol, once a candidate to succeed Warren Buffett as the head of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., resigned after helping to negotiate the acquisition of a company whose shares he had purchased.Buffett Misses Chance to Show Moral Courage: Alice Schroeder
Sokol, 54, bought about 96,000 Lubrizol Corp. shares before recommending the company as a takeover target, Buffett, Berkshire's chairman and chief executive officer, said today in a statement. Buffett said he didn't ask for the resignation and that Sokol's stock purchases were legal.
"What Sokol did was, the only word that comes to mind, shabby, and I am shocked he did it," Jeff Matthews, author of "Pilgrimage to Warren Buffett's Omaha" and founder of hedge fund Ram Partners LP, said in an e-mail. "Buffett says it wasn't illegal, but it is not how you do deals, and especially not how you do them at Berkshire."
Lubrizol, the Wickliffe, Ohio-based maker of engine lubricants, agreed this month to be purchased by Berkshire for about $9 billion. Sokol bought 96,060 Lubrizol shares on Jan. 5, 6 and 7, less than two weeks before recommending the company as a Berkshire acquisition, Buffett said today. In their first discussion about Lubrizol, Sokol mentioned he was a shareholder, Buffett said in the statement.
"It was a passing remark and I did not ask him about the date of his purchase or the extent of his holdings," Buffett said. Buffett learned about the size and dates of the purchases "shortly before I left for Asia on March 19," he said.
Sokol's stake as reported by Buffett would have been worth about $9.92 million on Jan. 7, based on the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange. The shares have risen about 30 percent to $134.01 since Buffett's deal was announced, boosting the stake, if Sokol still owns it, to $12.9 million.
Buffett, 80, is preparing Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire for his eventual departure. The company said in February it has four candidates to succeed Buffett as CEO, without publicly identifying them. Investors including Buffett biographer Andrew Kilpatrick had said Sokol was the most likely successor.
March 31 (Bloomberg) -- What were they thinking? How could Warren Buffett excuse David Sokol's trading in Lubrizol Corp. stock while Sokol was pitching the company to Berkshire Hathaway Inc. as an acquisition candidate?Munger Says He Told Buffett of Stake in BYD, Recused Himself
Buffett and Sokol both say that nothing "unlawful" was going on (Sokol even went so far as to tell CNBC he did nothing inappropriate). Their explanation is that, because a deal with Lubrizol hadn't actually been struck and wasn't likely when Sokol bought his shares, it was all right for Sokol to profit from his knowledge of a possible deal.
On Wall Street, we call this kind of trading front-running, and everybody knows that it is wrong. People get fired for doing it. Sokol said that he is leaving Berkshire to pursue other business interests, and the timing is linked to Berkshire's April 30 annual shareholder meeting, which is attended by tens of thousands of people. That's probably true, in a sense. Buffett must want this mess cleared up and out of the way before he has to take questions from shareholders.
Buffett gave out a few facts in his press release yesterday, but the Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Lubrizol fills in the damning pieces. After deciding to pursue Lubrizol as an acquisition candidate for Berkshire in the fall of 2010, Sokol tried to buy 50,000 shares on Dec. 13, the day he presented Berkshire's possible interest to Citigroup Inc. and asked it to set up a meeting with Lubrizol's management. He was able to acquire only 2,300 shares, and sold them a week later.
On Jan. 5, the day before Lubrizol's management held a special meeting to discuss a possible sale to Berkshire, Sokol began to buy stock again. The following day, Lubrizol hired Evercore Partners Inc. as its banker to respond to the potential interest of Berkshire. By Jan. 7, Sokol had purchased 96,400 out of a targeted 100,000 Lubrizol shares.
It strains credulity to claim these dates were coincidental and that Sokol had only a 5 percent belief (as he has stated) that Berkshire would buy Lubrizol. Sokol covered his bases by casually mentioning to Buffett that he owned stock when he pitched the acquisition in December. He gave no details and apparently kept quiet for almost three months, until after the Berkshire board had sealed the deal on March 13.
When Berkshire announced it was buying Lubrizol, the stock soared and Sokol pocketed a $3 million profit. It's a large sum, but Sokol is a very rich man already, and it looks like he fell into the classic trap of the rich and powerful, who so often blow their reputation over trivia.
With hindsight, Lubrizol's SEC filing may be misleading by omission -- inadvertently so. Nowhere is Sokol's financial interest mentioned in the catalog of events leading up to the deal. The relevant section of the filing says, in short, that neither Berkshire nor any of its subsidiaries (other than its externally managed pension funds) directly or indirectly owned a material amount of Lubrizol stock within the past three years.
Not surprisingly, according to the Financial Times, the SEC is now beginning an investigation. Presumably, it will look into whether there are similar patterns of trading in advance of other acquisition pitches by Sokol to Berkshire, whether consummated or not. One specific transaction that has piqued the curiosity of onlookers for months is Sokol's purchases of shares of Middleburg Financial Corp. since 2010. And even if the SEC concludes that Sokol did nothing illegal, the known facts suggest that what Sokol did was wrong.
It would be inexcusable for the chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway to front-run a potential acquisition this way. Why then, couldn't the CEO of Berkshire admit it is inexcusable for one of his own senior managers to do so? Instead of condemning Sokol, Buffett gave him a pat on the back on the way out the door. Since when is it enough to merely uphold the letter of the law, especially at Berkshire? Whatever happened to Buffett's famous saying, "Lose money and I will forgive you, but lose even a shred of reputation and I will be ruthless"?
It's too bad that Buffett missed an opportunity to show moral courage, stand up for principle, reinforce to his employees what he expects from them, and, not least of all, to live up to his own public reputation.
Editor's note: Alice Schroeder has been subpoenaed by Berkshire subsidiary NetJets seeking confidential information related to her news sources for other publications. The matter is being heard in Connecticut state court.
(Alice Schroeder, author of "The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life" and a former managing director at Morgan Stanley, is a Bloomberg News columnist. The opinions expressed are her own.)
April 6 (Bloomberg) -- Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Vice Chairman Charles Munger said his family was invested in BYD Co. "for years" before his company took a stake in the Chinese automaker and that he disclosed the financial interest to his business partner Warren Buffett.'Do-Right' Buffett Plants a Misplaced Kiss: Jonathan Weil
"I certainly suggested that Berkshire look at investing in something that the Mungers were already invested in, but we'd been in it for years," he said yesterday in a phone interview.
The Munger investment was cited last week by former Berkshire manager David Sokol in a CNBC interview as precedent for his purchase of Lubrizol Corp. shares before recommending the company as a takeover target to Buffett. Sokol, whose resignation from Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire was announced by Buffett on March 30, said there was nothing unethical about purchasing about 96,000 Lubrizol shares in January.
"I don't believe I did anything wrong," Sokol said, according to a transcript on CNBC's website. "Mr. Munger owned a significant piece of BYD before he mentioned it to me to go look at it."
Munger, 87, said his family invested with money manager Li Lu in BYD through a partnership that has a stake of about 3 percent and that he urged Sokol, then the leader of Berkshire's energy business, to scout the business.
"I had Dave look at it, because I knew I couldn't talk Warren into buying into the damn thing by myself," Munger said. "It's a new technology-type investment. But David went over there, and he made the deal for Berkshire." Buffett is Berkshire's chairman and chief executive officer.
Berkshire invested about $230 million in BYD in 2008 and holds a stake of almost 10 percent in the company. The investment was valued at $1.18 billion at the end of 2010, Buffett said in the company's annual report. BYD, based in Shenzhen, has said it aims to begin selling electric and hybrid cars in Europe by the end of next year.
Munger said his family holds a "little more" than half of the fund with the BYD investment, and that he didn't participate in Berkshire's discussions on its deal.
"I recused myself," Munger said. "But there's no question about it, that I caused Dave's original interest." He declined to comment further.
Munger's account of the BYD investments doesn't raise "any taint or question mark" for Berkshire, said John Coffee, a securities law professor at Columbia University.
"There's always going to be some possibility that a director will have some interest in a company that your firm is looking at for a transaction and you disclose that and you recuse yourself," Coffee said.
April 7 (Bloomberg) -- Long ago when I was a young reporter covering the Arkansas legislature for the local paper in Little Rock, there was a line I'd hear in the hallways periodically about the prevailing moral standard some lawmakers lived by when doing the people's business, called "the do-right rule."Sokol Misled Buffett, Violated Trading Rules, Board Audit Finds
It went like this: If I'm the one doing it, then it must be all right. This brings us to the subject of Warren Buffett, a longtime adherent to his own version of the do-right rule, which has no particular meaning other than that it is flexible and sounds folksy. The problem with this rule is it works well, until it doesn't. And lately for Buffett, one of the greatest value creators ever, it hasn't been working so hot.
Witness the harsh public reaction to the goodbye kiss Buffett planted last week on David Sokol, 54, the head of several Berkshire Hathaway Inc. subsidiaries who had been widely viewed as Buffett's successor in waiting.
In his letter disclosing Sokol's surprise resignation, Buffett praised Sokol's "extraordinary" contributions. He told how Sokol had bought millions of dollars of Lubrizol Corp. stock for himself, shortly before he suggested (successfully) to Buffett that Berkshire buy the company. It was all legal, Buffett opined. Buffett also told us that Sokol had said his Lubrizol purchases "were not a factor in his decision to resign," as if that were credible.
It wasn't until the end of his letter that I began wondering if Buffett had lost his mind. "I have held back nothing in this statement," he said. "Therefore, if questioned about this matter in the future, I will simply refer the questioner back to this release."
So, it wasn't just some questioners who would get the "Great Oz Has Spoken" treatment from Buffett. All questioners would, which is nuts. I mean, what's he going to do if and when the Securities and Exchange Commission asks him about Sokol's trades? Take the Fifth?
This should be a defining moment for Buffett, and for the public whose rock-star adulation he craves. Maybe now the world will realize we never should have held him up -- or bought his act -- as some moral paragon for business.
Sure, we can admire his talent for securities analysis, and his success at building an empire and making himself and lots of other investors rich. But let's put to rest the exaltations about his plain talk and his eye for strong character. He's a corporate chief executive officer, for goodness sake. These are the kinds of dodges we've come to expect from many CEOs.
Buffett, whose record of reputational hits is long and varied, is no exception.
He was on the audit committee of Coca-Cola Co.'s board when the SEC found the company had misled investors about its earnings during the 1990s. He stayed silent about Moody's Corp. as it sold the public down the river with countless AAA ratings on garbage subprime mortgage bonds while Berkshire was its largest shareholder.
Four former executives of Berkshire's Gen Re unit were sentenced to prison for helping American International Group Inc. commit accounting fraud a decade ago. At least in that instance, after Gen Re paid $92 million last year to settle investor claims and end government investigations, Buffett publicly acknowledged that the company had done something wrong.
And how much does Berkshire's board really care about its trusted insiders' trading anyway? The company kept Deloitte & Touche as its outside auditor after learning in 2008 that Deloitte's vice chairman had been trading in and out of Berkshire's stock while he was the advisory partner on Berkshire's audit. That caused Deloitte and Berkshire to violate the SEC's auditor-independence rules, the agency said last year.
Rather than change firms, though, Berkshire concluded Deloitte was independent anyway. The SEC went along with it, which ultimately is what mattered, not some higher Berkshire virtue of keeping up pristine appearances. (The former Deloitte partner last year paid about $1 million to settle fraud allegations by the SEC.)
Sometimes Berkshire's whoppers are more subtle. The company's latest proxy lists Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates as an "independent" director, even though Buffett has pledged most of his $47 billion fortune to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. That may be OK under the SEC's definition of independent, just not under a common-sense standard.
Another supposedly independent director is Walter Scott, who owns 9.4 percent of the voting shares in Berkshire subsidiary MidAmerican Energy Holdings, from which Sokol is resigning as chairman. Berkshire's proxy assures us these matters were duly considered.
Berkshire steers millions of dollars of fees each year to Vice Chairman Charlie Munger's old law firm, Munger, Tolles & Olson, where Berkshire director Ronald Olson is a partner. Other directors include Buffett's son, Howard. At most public companies such dealings would be held up as examples of weak governance. Because this is Buffett, Berkshire usually has gotten a pass.

April 28 (Bloomberg) -- David Sokol violated Berkshire Hathaway Inc.'s insider-trading rules and misled the company about his personal stake in Lubrizol Corp., which he recommended as a takeover target to Chairman Warren Buffett, the firm said.Sokol, Once Buffett's Heir Apparent, Is Rebuked by Berkshire
An 18-page report released yesterday by Berkshire's audit committee portrayed Buffett as a victim of deception and said the company should weigh suing Sokol, 54, to recover his trading profits. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is probing whether Sokol bought Lubrizol shares on inside information that Buffett was considering a buyout, according to a person who declined to be identified because the investigation is secret.
"They're throwing Sokol under the bus," said Stephen Bainbridge, a professor at the UCLA School of Law who has written and taught about corporate governance. Sokol was previously considered a candidate to replace Buffett as Berkshire's chief executive officer.
Buffett, 80, is facing questions about his oversight of managers and criticism for not condemning the stock trading that preceded Sokol's resignation from Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire. Buffett had said March 30 in announcing Sokol's departure that he didn't believe the trades were unlawful.
Sokol "would not, and did not, trade improperly, nor did he violate any fair reading of the Berkshire Hathaway policies," according to a statement from William Levine, a lawyer for Sokol at Dickstein Shapiro LLP in Washington.
Buffett "had a duty to assemble the kind of facts and opinions that the audit committee did," said Janet Tavakoli, president of Tavakoli Structured Finance Inc. "But Buffett didn't do that." Buffett didn't immediately return a message left with an assistant for comment.
Sokol's purchase of about $10 million in Lubrizol stock while representing Berkshire in a deal to buy the lubricant maker violated company policies on insider trading, and he failed to meet his disclosure obligations under state law in Delaware, where Berkshire is incorporated, the committee found.
The report "increases the prospect that he breached a fiduciary duty to Berkshire, which is what the SEC would need to prove to bring a case against him," said John Coffee, securities law professor at Columbia University. "This is a significant shift in tone by Berkshire, probably because they're embarrassed by having been slow to recognize the problem."
Buffett said March 30 that he'd held back nothing from his comments that day and would refer future inquiries to his written statement. Yesterday, Berkshire said the company would post a transcript "as soon as possible" after Buffett's April 30 meeting of questions and answers about Sokol and Lubrizol.
Buffett will face about five hours of questions from shareholders and journalists at the meeting, which draws tens of thousands of people to Omaha each year and gives the billionaire a forum to discuss his company, corporate governance and the economy. The report was a "pre-emptive action" ahead of the meeting, said Michael Yoshikami, chief investment strategist at Berkshire shareholder YCMNet Advisors.
Last year, Murphy was asked in a Bloomberg Television interview about candidates to succeed Buffett, and called Sokol a "first-class guy."
Sokol joined Berkshire in 2000 when he sold MidAmerican Energy Holdings Co., which he led, to the company. Buffett had sent Sokol to China to scout an investment in carmaker BYD Co. and tasked the executive with the turnaround of NetJets Inc., Berkshire's luxury-flight unit. Buffett biographer Andrew Kilpatrick had said Sokol was the most likely candidate to replace the billionaire as CEO.
April 28 (Bloomberg) --Buffett Disciples Want 'Oracle' to Come Clean: Alice Schroeder
[...]Putting his money behind personal convictions of a different sort has now landed Sokol in deep trouble. Until March 30, he was widely seen as heir apparent to 80-year-old Warren Buffett, Berkshire's chairman and chief executive officer and the prophet of heartland common sense. That day, Buffett made headlines by announcing that Sokol, 54, would resign from Berkshire.
On Wednesday, April 27, Berkshire's audit committee again electrified the financial world. In a scathing 18-page report, it accused Sokol of violating company standards by misleading Berkshire about his personal stake in Lubrizol Corp., a chemical manufacturer he recommended to Buffett as a takeover target.
The committee stopped short of concluding that Sokol committed insider trading under federal law when he bought Lubrizol shares worth $10 million in January and then pitched the company to Buffett. But the company signaled that the former corporate star is now on his own, and Berkshire will cooperate "with any government investigations relating to this matter." The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating, although a spokeswoman declined to comment.
The Berkshire committee's report provided a devastating version of the "what," suggesting that Sokol "intended to deceive" Buffett about several key aspects of the Lubrizol episode.
The "why" remains more of a mystery: Why was Sokol, already a rich man with a vacation retreat near Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and a yacht to go with a third home in Fort Lauderdale, dabbling in the stock of a company he suggested that his boss acquire?
"It just doesn't smell right," says Andrew Kilpatrick, a retired stockbroker and author of "Of Permanent Value: The Story of Warren Buffett."
A Berkshire shareholder has sued Buffett and Sokol in Delaware Chancery Court, alleging that they put the company at risk of an SEC enforcement action. The audit panel said Berkshire is considering suing Sokol "to recover any damage the company has sustained, or his trading profits, or both."
Over the years, Sokol has developed a high regard for his own integrity, much as Buffett has. Like the older man, Sokol has become a font of bromides about capitalism and the good life. His stumble illustrates an occasion when, for all his strengths, he apparently came to believe that if he did something, then, by definition, it was right.
Last year, a state court judge in Omaha went out of his way to mention Sokol by name in a ruling that concluded that MidAmerican had acted "inequitably, unfairly, and dishonestly" in its dealings with shareholders of an irrigation project in the Philippines.
The dispute stemmed from a complicated deal in which Sokol's company invested in the water project on the condition that if the project's "internal rate of return" fell below a certain level, the minority shareholders would lose their entire stake.
Judge Gary B. Randall of Douglas County, Nebraska, ruled last April that MidAmerican's decision to change the method of calculating the internal rate of return, which Sokol directly oversaw, was intended to harm the other shareholders. Randall awarded the victims $32 million in damages and gave them stock in the project that could yield substantial profits.
"The judge accurately portrayed Sokol's conduct in this particular case as deliberately wrongful and betraying a partner," says James W. Kennedy, the New York lawyer who represented the minority shareholders. After MidAmerican appealed, the case settled out of court on confidential terms, Kennedy says. MidAmerican didn't respond to requests for comment.
Some NetJets employees, and especially ex-employees Sokol laid off, came to despise him. The personal website of Bloomberg News columnist Alice Schroeder, author of "The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life," became a venue for vituperation from current and former workers alleging that NetJets had been taxiing toward a recovery before Sokol arrived and that he harmed the company by shrinking it.
Enraged, Sokol fired back in an unusual e-mail to NetJets workers last August (which Schroeder obtained and published). He decried "a campaign designed to decrease the number of owners in the NetJets program, poison our relationships with our business partners, and incite our team members into providing a reduced level of service."
His detractors said the e-mail illustrated part of the problem. "David Sokol can tolerate no disagreement of any kind regarding his decisions," one anonymous commenter posted. "The mere fact of suggesting a different course of action is in and of itself an act of 'sabotage' to him."
Now the question inevitably arises: Has Sokol engaged in a similar pattern of trading before other acquisition pitches to Berkshire? The SEC can pull records to check.
[...]"Look, everyone would think it's unfair if Warren Buffett personally bought stock ahead of Berkshire acquisitions," says Kilpatrick, the Buffett biographer, who is also a Berkshire shareholder. "It seems unfair for one of his top managers to do the same thing, whether or not it constitutes a prosecutable offense."
April 28 (Bloomberg) --
[...]For Buffett, sometimes dubbed the Oracle for his investing acumen, the meeting is a double-edged sword. The event at which he and his vice chairman, Charles T. Munger, spend almost six hours answering questions puts considerable pressure on him to be more forthcoming. On the other hand, Buffett will be speaking with a home-field advantage to a receptive audience that wants to think well of him.
The company lays out a story in which Sokol misled Buffett and Berkshire's chief financial officer, Marc Hamburg. These revelations are damning, and the audit committee has concluded in harsh terms that Sokol violated Berkshire's code of conduct, its insider-trading policy and failed his duties as a manager. But according to the report, the essential elements were known by the Berkshire board before March 30. This is when Buffett praised Sokol in a press statement and declared Sokol's actions kosher because they were "not unlawful."
According to a statement by Sokol's attorney, Barry Levine, Buffett "was told twice, not once," about Sokol's ownership of Lubrizol shares before Buffett began takeover talks with the company.
The problem isn't the about-face. It is the missing explanation for why Berkshire went so easy on Sokol in the first place.
[...]Governance, rightfully, will be high on the audience's mind during the meeting, because Sokol is only a symptom of an underlying cause. The world acknowledges that a $200 billion company that employs about 260,000 people can't be run by a single man. Buffett should step up on these issues now, before a public outcry puts him in conflict with his own board.
The Sokol incident has boomeranged to become a referendum on Buffett's judgment of people and management style, Berkshire's corporate governance, institutional infrastructure, risk-management and internal controls, and the succession process for a new CEO. It has also raised questions about the board's committee structure, compensation and responsibilities.Buffett to Face Questions on Praising Sokol Before Audit Report
April 29 (Bloomberg) -- Warren Buffett has asked for tough questions at the annual meetings of his Berkshire Hathaway Inc. He may get his wish after praising the outgoing executive who was later faulted by a board committee for misleading the company about stock trades.
Buffett uses his meeting and annual Omaha, Nebraska, press conference to promote Berkshire's growth, pitch the company as an acquirer to potential takeover targets and tout his emphasis on ethics. The 80-year-old chief executive officer started having journalists screen shareholder inquiries in 2009 and encouraged them to pick the most challenging ones to replace inquires from prior years about baseball and religion.
"Buffett is going to get questions about his own behavior" at tomorrow's meeting said Lyman Johnson, professor of corporate law at Washington and Lee University School of Law. "I do think that Buffett erred in his initial announcement."
Buffett oversees the heads of Berkshire's more than 70 subsidiaries with the help of Vice Chairman Charles Munger, 87, and a staff of about 20 at the company's headquarters. Berkshire employs more than 250,000 people across industries spanning insurance, energy and consumer goods, and Buffett entrusts operational authority to the CEOs of the individual units.
"The whole notion of Berkshire Hathaway operating on a higher plane was based upon the idea they didn't just do what was legal, they did what was ethical," said Cornelius Hurley, a professor at Boston University School of Law and former assistant general counsel at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. "When one of your senior officers gets caught with his hand in the jar and you say, 'Oh it's legal,' you've kind of blown away that principle of higher standards."
Shareholders at the 2007 meeting called on Buffett to divest a $3.3 billion stake in PetroChina Co. because its parent company held oil reserves in pipelines in Sudan where the government was accused of supporting genocide. Buffett said at the meeting he had no disagreement with PetroChina's actions. He sold the stake later that year.
More than 30,000 people travel from around the world to Omaha for the annual meeting at the Qwest Center, where Buffett and Munger take questions for about five hours. Buffett's annual press conference is scheduled for May 1.

The US Just Used the Biggest Non-Nuclear Bomb in History
The United States just dropped "the Mother of All Bombs" in Afghanistan, targeting the Islamic State with the never-before-used GBU-43/B Massive Ordinance Air Blast — the biggest explosive short of a nuclear weapon.
The bomb was developed for use in Iraq but was never dropped there (the name is a reference to Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's warning that Operation Desert Storm would be the "mother of all battles"). The weapon reportedly weighs 22,600 pounds, most of which is high explosives, and has has a yield of 11 tons of TNT (the Hiroshima nuke was 20,000 tons, by contrast). Each one costs $16 million.
News reports say the weapon was used against an ISIS tunnel complex in a rural area near the Pakistani border. It's likely purpose was to either collapse a hardened entrance or force enemy combatants out of the tunnels.
US says it "took every precaution to avoid civilian casualties" when dropping a bomb that has a blast radius of a mile in every direction. pic.twitter.com/k58Ih6Kbxk— Samuel Oakford (@samueloakford) April 13, 2017
General John Nicholson, commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, seemed to confirm this, issuing a statement on the MOAB's use that claimed "as ISIS losses have mounted, they are using IEDs, bunkers and tunnels to thicken their defense. This is the right munition to reduce these obstacles and maintain the momentum of our offensive."
With tension rising over North Korea's nuclear program, it should be noted that the MOAB is not designed as a ground penetrating or bunker-busting weapon to use against underground facilities. The U.S. has another bomb for that: the 30,000 pound GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator.
Given the timing of the bomb's use, the president's critics are speculating the move was a ploy by Donald Trump to distract from other controversies. Press Secretary Sean Spicer refused to answer when asked whether Trump himself authorized the MOAB's use.

Summer is on its way… how do I know this? We were having companionship study this morning and this medium-sized spider scurries hurriedly parallel to our table. My first reaction? I scream! (Although I am glad that it was not a roach, I would have literally died if it was). I saw it run into a crack in our floor. Sister Pearson then says, "it's probably fine, I bet it will go into our neighbor's apartment below us." I was not settled though. Paranoid, I ran to the bathroom, grabbed some foam cleaning spray and I squirted that stuff down the cracks until the spider jumped out, ran towards me and I squashed that thing with my slipper as I stomped and slid my foot across the floor. It's dead. I'm sorry, I am not a bug person. The Lord knew this, therefore he sent me here : ) The only thing I have to conquer here are occasional spiders and fruit flies.
Well, let's see. We went on exchanges this week (surprise, surprise) in VEJLE! Also know as the place of my mission birth in Denmark! Oh, it was fabulous to be back. I felt like I was home! I got to be on exchanges with Sister Wright, she is a brand new missionary who is loves to speak and really learning Danish fast, plus she is pretty fearless! We had an appointment with Marianne who I used to work with when I was there. After we read scriptures, she asked if we could help her with her dishes. Of course, just like old times! She was so sweet and in her pray she prayed her and I could keep in contact. She is a beautiful, talented daughter of God. I promised I'd keep in touch.
Then, Sister Pearson had our first zone training together. This month, as a mission, we are studying the Book of Mormon section in Preach My Gospel. We realized what the mission was lacking, the inspiring role plays like we would always have at zone conference, training and meetings in Tennessee. Yet another Tennessee blessing! :) So glad I got to serve stateside! So we came up with a role play where we had 4 groups of two chairs, missionaries would line up behind each chair. When it was their turn they would sit down. If the chair had a pass along card with the Savior on it, the missionary's role would be missionary. If the card had a picture of people, then they would be an investigator. The missionary would testify of a principle of their choice, then the investigator would give a concern. The missionary would answer that concern with a scripture from the Book of Mormon and then bear testimony. It can be intense, for sure, but it really helps prepare for when we might be in that situation in real life and might get asked that exact question. Preach My Gospel talks about how the Book of Mormon answers questions of the soul. It was neat because that seemed to be the theme of our lessons the rest of the week. We met with Ankhaa and talked about Heavenly Father and how the gospel blesses families. She has begun to read the Book of Mormon. We asked her what she thinks of it and she said she feels the book is guide to life. That's exactly what we had been talking about the day before at zone training!
Other events from this week:
-We made tiramisu for a less active in our ward (with cocoa instead of coffee) and he was impressed and said it tasted great. It was actually the first time we had ever tried tiramisu ha ha.
-Ate cake and watched Finding Faith in Christ in Italian with Lorenzo
-Watched the first session of General Conference at Michael, Cosmin and Justin's place. We brought carmel popcorn. The last talk of the first session was President Eyring. He said in his talk that some of the people watching conference were invited by missionaries. And some of those were invited by the missionaries to be baptized. Michael looked at us and we looked at him. He rejected the invitation, but that's just for now : )
Conference was really great. Ankhaa and Ruslan came to watch it at the church. My favorite talk? Probably President Henry B. Eyring or Gary E. Stevenson.
We got a cold front last week, so winter felt like it was coming back, but it's warmer today, so spring round 2 here we come!
Med kærligste hilsener,
Søster Orgill

One of the more enjoyable aspects of the compact has been making our own food from scratch .Its still the winter, so there is not a lot to choose from but we have gotten quite a lot better at making flour based foods. We have used our bread maker to the max; it is usually running once a day or every other day at least. We have made lots of dough, breads, buns, and so on. So, yeah, you're thinking, you bread-maker-using cheaters! Do it the right way! Ummm, no thanks. The amount of time it saves using that thing is great, I would not have the time to knead dough, rise it, knead it etc…
|Looks just like they came from the store!
|Baking keeps them busy, happy, and teaches them how to not rely on consumerism for everything! Make it yourself!
We tried some things that we didn't really think of until we realized we had none, like tortillas and English muffins. Which were remarkably easy to make and turned out just like the store bought varieties. The kids have enjoyed helping us make stuff too. When we make tortillas, Hannah and Jillian have a great time rolling out their dough; it usually takes Jill the whole time to roll one and keeps her quite busy!
|The amazing sideways muffins!

Little Monsters (Hardcover)
On Our Shelves Now
For fans of Pretty Little Liars, Little Monsters is a new psychological thriller, from the author of The Darkest Corners, about appearances versus reality and the power of manipulation amongst teenage girls. Kacey is the new girl in Broken Falls. When she moved in with her father, she stepped into a brand-new life. A life with a stepbrother, a stepmother, and strangest of all, an adoring younger half sister.
Kacey's new life is eerily charming compared with the wild highs and lows of the old one she lived with her volatile mother. And everyone is so nice in Broken Falls--she's even been welcomed into a tight new circle of friends. Bailey and Jade invite her to do everything with them.
Which is why it's so odd when they start acting distant. And when they don't invite her to the biggest party of the year, it doesn't exactly feel like an accident.
But Kacey will never be able to ask, because Bailey never makes it home from that party. Suddenly, Broken Falls doesn't seem so welcoming after all--especially once everyone starts looking to the new girl for answers.
Kacey is about to learn some very important lessons: Sometimes appearances can be deceiving. Sometimes when you're the new girl, you shouldn't trust anyone.
