Returns, rewards, whatever you call them, most people want to make something off of the money or effort they provide to a venture. And it's human nature to try to get the greatest reward on the smallest input possible.
Knowing which industries generally provide the highest returns is one way to explore investments of time and money. Sageworks, a financial information company, recently conducted a financial statement analysis of privately held companies to examine which U.S. industries have generated the highest returns on equity over the last 12 months.
Several industries tied to health care -- dentists, physicians, outpatient care centers – are atop the list. So are accounting and payroll companies, real estate agents and brokers and employment services firms.
Owners and potential investors examine return on equity, or ROE, to see how efficiently a company generates profits, and to help track longer term trends related to the firm's ability to grow without additional outside equity investment.
ROE is annualized net income divided by total equity (or the difference between assets and liabilities), and it allows you to gauge a company's profit performance relative to the owners' (or stockholders') capital used to make the profit. As The Motley Fool aptly describes it, ROE allows you to "quickly gauge whether a company is an asset creator or a cash consumer." Reviewing industry benchmarking data can also help individual companies in that field evaluate their own performance against peers.
In general, a higher return is better. But some industries' average ROE is higher than others, and it's helpful to know that before starting a new business, investing in one or loaning to one. For example, industries or companies that borrow more money than others have greater liabilities and, therefore, proportionately less equity. The lower equity in the denominator means a higher return if net income is the same at both companies. High ROE can be driven by good net income, low equity, or some combination of the two.
The private-company ROEs calculated by Sageworks also include some notable differences from ROEs for publicly traded companies. The average ROE for the last 12 months for companies in Sageworks' database is 39 percent, while most people use a 10 to 12 percent range as a typical ROE for public companies.
"In our database, we look at pre-tax rather than after-tax net profit because we think it gives a more accurate reading of private companies' operational performance," said Sageworks analyst Libby Bierman. "It's how we avoid comparing apples to oranges in a database of companies from different states with different tax structures or with different tax-management practices." Sageworks' estimate of net income also includes owner compensation in excess of their market-rate salaries, another adjustment aimed at providing a more accurate picture of the companies' operational performance.
"As a result of using pre-tax margins, it's possible that our ROE numbers are slightly higher than other industry averages available or even public-company standards," Bierman said. "So, while it's fair to look at directional trends in this data and benchmark to measure change over time, it would be important to make sure a company is similarly using pre-tax net profit before benchmarking to this dataset."
Most of the highest-ranking ROE industries are perennially on the list. In fact, among the top 10 highest-return industries for the most recent 12 months, only real estate agents/brokers, insurance agents/brokers and employment services firms are not at the top for rankings based on financial results for all years in Sageworks' database.
Sageworks, a financial information company, collects and analyzes data on the performance of privately held companies and provides accounting and audit solutions.

The Pennine Way is a National Trail, a 268-mile walk (429 km) that will take you from the Peak District National Park along the Pennine ridge through the Yorkshire Dales, up into Northumberland, across the Cheviots, setting you down in the Scottish Borders. It has something to offer every long distance walker. The Pennine Way National Trail is a walk starting from Edale in Derbyshire through 3 National Parks finishing at Kirk Yetholm across the Scottish Border. This trek is one of Britain's best known and toughest long distance trails.
The Pennine Way takes you into isolated country. That is part of the exhilaration, of course, but consider the challenges and responsibilities such country brings with it. Starting at the scene of the Kinder Scout, you walk through the Southern Pennines, pass Haworth, home of the Bronte sisters, cross the limestone country of the Yorkshire Dales, follow the Settle to Carlisle Railway and enter a huge Pennine area that was exploited by every kind of mining activity, the lead industry in particular. This is a walk you will never forget. It has historical and cultural interests and beautiful and varied landscape.

The conflict in Yemen saw equities on the backfoot in Asia yesterday and should this escalate into a deeper regional conflict, then the risk-off trade is only likely to ramp up. On the data front we had unemployment claims in the US, while James Bullard called for the Fed to start normalising now.
All eyes will be on Fed chair Janet Yellen today as she speaks on 'The New Normal for Monetary Policy'. We have already started to see a risk-off tone in the FX space with the AUD and EUR losing ground to the greenback after a couple of weeks of resilience. This has benefited safe haven plays such as the yen as USD/JPY slipped to a low of 118.33, its lowest since February 20. This move will also be negative for the Nikkei today, which we are currently calling down around 0.7% at the open. Around 111 points worth of dividends comes out of the Nikkei today, which will put a dent in the index. It's a big day for Japan today with a raft of releases set to hit the wires including household spending, CPI, unemployment rate and retail sales.
China industrial profits in focus
At the same time out of China we have industrial profits data tomorrow, which is likely to show a further decline. This makes for an exciting finish to the week for the region considering how quiet the middle part of the week has been for us.
The data out of China will have a fairly significant bearing on the AUD today and could see yesterday's losses extended. The industrial profits data is due out at 12.30 and given we haven't had a print for a couple of months, there will be quite some attention on this reading. While many would expect disappointing China data to drive stimulus expectations and in turn spur risk, there are plenty of questions around how effective China stimulus is on the economy these days. AUD/USD is retesting 0.7800 and traders will be eyeing fresh shorting opportunities on a break below that level.
Gold extends rally
Ahead of the open we are calling the ASX 200 mildly higher at 5897. While crude spiked in Asia yesterday, it hasn't really added on to its gains since then. Regardless, I expect to see some speculation in energy plays helping to prop up price action in the energy sector.
Gold has continued its rally and this also leaves gold plays in a good position heading into the weekend. Northern Star might be an exception as it goes ex-div today. Apart from that there isn't much on the company news front and I suspect it'll be a risk tone driven market. The positive for the local market is that yield plays are likely to find buyers at lower levels.

CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA: Chapter III.—Against the Sophists.
Chapter III.—Against the Sophists.
There is a great crowd of this description: some of them, enslaved to pleasures and willing to disbelieve, laugh at the truth which is worthy of all reverence, making sport of its barbarousness. Some others, exalting themselves, endeavour to discover calumnious objections to our words, furnishing captious questions, hunters out of paltry sayings, practicers of miserable artifices, wranglers, dealers in knotty points, as that Abderite says:—"For mortals tongues are glib, and on them are many speeches;
And a wide range for words of all sorts in this place and that."
And—"Of whatever sort the word you have spoken, of the same sort you must hear."
Inflated with this art of theirs, the wretched Sophists, babbling away in their own jargon; toiling their whole life about the division of names and the nature of the composition and conjunction of sentences, show themselves greater chatterers than turtle-doves; scratching and tickling, not in a manly way, in my opinion, the ears of those who wish to be tickled."A river of silly words—not a dropping;"
just as in old shoes, when all the rest is worn and is falling to pieces, and the tongue alone remains. The Athenian Solon most excellently enlarges, and writes:—"Look to the tongue, and to the words of the glozing man,
But you look on no work that has been done;
But each one of you walks in the steps of a fox,
And in all of you is an empty mind."
This, I think, is signified by the utterance of the Saviour, "The foxes have holes, but the Son of man hath not where to lay His head." 1840 For on the believer alone, who is separated entirely from the rest, who by the Scripture are called wild beasts, rests the head of the universe, the kind and gentle Word, "who taketh the wise in their own craftiness. For the Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain;" 1841 the Scripture calling those the wise (σοφούς) who are skilled in words and arts, sophists (σοφιστάς). Whence the Greeks also applied the denominative appellation of wise and sophists (σοφοί, σοφισταί) to those who were versed in anything Cratinus accordingly, having in the Archilochii enumerated the poets, said:—"Such a hive of sophists have ye examined."
And similarly Iophon, the comic poet, in Flute-playing Satyrs, says:—"For there entered
A band of sophists, all equipped."
Of these and the like, who devote their attention to empty words, the divine Scripture most excellently says, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." 1842
Matt. viii. 20; Luke ix. 58.304:1841
Job v. 13; 1 Cor. 3:19, 20; Ps. xciv. 11.304:1842

Sedation dentistry – sometimes known as sleep dentistry – is a comfortable way for patients to receive dental treatment while under mild sedation.
A sedative combined with a pain-relieving medicine is administered intravenously. This induces a drowsy and dream-like state, and the patient generally has no memory of their dental procedure afterwards.
At Smile Solutions we don't expect the one dentist to carry out all of your specialised care in the one session. At Smile Solutions, whilst under sedation different specialists in various fields can provide holistic treatment for you in the same sedation setting. For example, you may have a root canal carried out by a root canal specialist and extraction carried out by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon all in the one sedation appointment.

Google's vow to pull out of China last month was partly based on the discovery that human rights activists' Gmail accounts had been hacked into, purportedly by Chinese intelligence. As a human rights advocate, this is worrying news for all who seek to fight for justice around the world.
One widely reported and serious hack involves Teng Biao, a law lecturer at the University of Politics and Law in Beijing who regularly writes about human rights issues in China. His account had been mysteriously set to autoforward incoming e-mails to an unknown address. Google is also unwilling to continue censoring search results on google.cn. Search for ???? on google.cn/images results in pictures of cartoon characters. The same search on google.com yields image upon image of blood-splattered tanks, bodies lying half-naked on the ground covered in blood, and countless unspeakable images from the Tiananmen Square massacre in June 1989. Searches for politically sensitive keywords such as 'Tiananmen massacre' yield far fewer results on google.cn than they do outside China.
Google's announcement is significant. For the global internet search engine to turn its back on the Chinese market and potentially billions of dollars worth of profit represents huge support for free speech and a stand against censorship. Google doesn't like what the Chinese government is doing. They are reported to be in discussion with the Chinese government, but the feeling is that if they don't like what they hear, they can leave.
Chinese human rights activists who stand up for human rights and freedom of expression within China are in a much more fragile position. They speak out from the inside, without the protection of a foreign passport. A man who exemplifies the fight for human rights in China is missing lawyer Gao Zhisheng, who has now been missing for over a year since he was taken away by government officials on Feb. 4, 2009. Gao was once named by China's Ministry of Justice as one of "China's Top Ten Lawyers." His reputation among officials soured when he began taking on sensitive cases -- Falun Gong practitioners, victims of land repossession, minority rights cases, and those of persecuted Christian leaders. Since 2005 Gao has been repeatedly arrested and tortured in prison. On one occasion he was severely tortured for a period of 50 days and it is highly likely that he is being tortured now. Repeated requests to the Chinese government for information about Gao's whereabouts and situation have been made by Gao's family and the international community. Radio silence was the response, until a foreign ministry spokeswoman said that Gao "is where he should be." The lack of information is worrying and has led many to suspect the worst. Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ivan Lewis issued a statement on the one-year anniversary of Gao's disappearance urging the Chinese Government to "provide accurate information on Gao's situation to ease the concerns of his family and friends and to provide reassurance about his condition."
What is clear is that the long road toward human rights in China is an issue for many -- not just for the brave individuals who risk their lives to stand up for justice, but also for global corporations, like Google, who feel compelled to hold fast to the protection of freedoms for all members of the global community. Human rights defenders in China exist to speak up for human rights and to fight for justice. We are gravely concerned for the status and well-being of missing human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng. Christian supporters of CSW are standing in solidarity with Gao and his family. Please join us in prayer for the rights of Chinese people.
Benedict Rogers is a human rights activist specialising in East Asia. He works for the human rights organisation Christian Solidarity Worldwide.

Aileen Campbell MSP for Clydesdale has said new Visit Scotland figures display an opportunity for Clydesdale to grow its tourism potential.
The number of people working in tourism in South Lanarkshire increased by 10% in one year, new figures show – with Scotland as a whole seeing an increase of 11 per cent.
The statistics produced by Visit Scotland show that tourism supports 8,600 jobs in South Lanarkshire, 7% of total jobs in the area.
Between 2014 and 2015, the number of people employed in the sector across Scotland grew to 217,000 – with the 11 per cent increase in Scotland above the 4 per cent rise in Great Britain as a whole. The 217,000 members of the Scottish tourism industry represent 9 per cent of the country's total employment and is the highest tourism level since Business Register and Employment Survey (BRES) records began in 2009.
41% of staff in the tourism industry work in restaurants, 24% in hotels and other accommodation and 17% in bars and related businesses.
Commenting, Aileen said:
"Our tourism industry is going from strength to strength and this increase in jobs shows the vital role that tourism plays in Scotland's economy and particularly in South Lanarkshire.
"Scotland is famed for its warm welcome, incredible scenery and top class attractions – and with 2017 the Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology we are celebrating our exceptional historical attractions.
"At the tourism meeting I recently organised at New Lanark there was emphasis on developing a strategic focus for bringing more visitors to Clydesdale. With Scotland ranked second in the Rough Guides list of the best countries in the world to visit this year, tourism in Clydesdale has the potential for a very bright future."
Malcolm Roughead, Chief Executive of VisitScotland, said:
"Tourism is more than a holiday experience. It creates jobs and sustains communities in every corner of Scotland all year round and is at the heart of the Scottish economy.
"These fantastic new figures show that, from hotel owners to waiting staff, tourism really is the driving force for providing the jobs of today and tomorrow. They also demonstrate the industry's commitment to the 2020 strategy – which aims to generate economic growth through tourism."

AUGUSTA — The Senate voted along party lines Tuesday to significantly expand Maine's exemption to the "death tax" in what could be a precursor to bigger debates over cutting taxes during a tight budget year.
Under current law, family members who inherit valuable estates — whether businesses, property or farms — only pay the "death tax" when the value of those estates surpasses $1 million.
The bill that received preliminary approval in the Senate on Tuesday would bump up that exemption to $5 million, conforming Maine's tax code with the federal government's estate tax exemption.
Supporters claim the current, $1 million exemption penalizes families who own small businesses and farms with valuable real estate while encouraging wealthier Mainers to establish residency in other states with more lenient tax codes.
"The result of this has been that we have driven wealth out of Maine," said Sen. Jonathan Courtney, R-Springvale, the Senate majority leader.
The Democratic opposition, however, accused the majority party of offering large tax cuts to Maine's wealthiest residents at a time when lawmakers are considering cuts to social services programs for the state's poorest residents and "tightening the vice" on middle-income families.
"People of Maine are hurting; people are taking cuts," said Sen. Justin Alfond, D-Portland, the Democrats' assistant minority leader. The estate tax bill endorsed by the Senate, Alfond said, would only benefit one small group of wealthy individuals.
The bill endorsed by the Senate, LD 1147, is not the only measure pending in the Legislature that would increase the estate tax exemption.
The administration of Gov. Paul LePage has proposed doubling the exemption to $2 million as part of a tax reform package contained in his two-year, $6.1 billion budget. The estate tax changes, which would kick in on Jan. 1, 2013, would benefit the heirs of an estimated 400 estates that would be subject to taxation under current law.
Republican lawmakers on the Taxation Committee endorsed the $2 million estate tax exemption and tweaked LePage's other tax-cutting proposals to include a reduction in the top income tax rate from 8.5 percent to 7.95 percent as well as other changes.
Those proposals are still pending with the Legislature's Appropriations and Financial Affairs Committee, which is working long hours to craft a balanced budget that will win the two-thirds support needed in both chambers. But the tax cut proposals could become sticking points as the committee considers cuts to social service programs and changes to state employees' pension system.
On Tuesday, Senate Republicans pushed forward with the separate, more sweeping estate tax bill, which would have to go through the Appropriations Committee.
Sen. David Hastings, R-Fryeburg, said Maine loses more than simply tax revenue when wealthy retirees from Maine choose to establish residency in Florida or other low-tax states. It also loses their involvement in local communities.
Sen. Doug Thomas, R-Ripley, said it doesn't take much to hit that $1 million trigger for many small businesses today.
"A million dollars in logging equipment is not what it used to be," Thomas said. "Some of that equipment is now $500,000" apiece.
But Democrats questioned the timing of the bill, coming during a budget crunch. Several Democrats, including Sen. Bill Diamond, said they supported increasing the exemption amount but were uncomfortable with jumping to $5 million in one swoop.
Alfond said Maine's entire tax code needs to be overhauled — rather than one small portion of it — if the state wants to keep wealthy Mainers as residents. Alfond pointed out that his grandfather, the late Harold Alfond who founded Dexter Shoe Co., did not move to Florida because of Maine's estate tax but because "their entire tax code is better."

(Do not feed the oyster) under neath the clouds. He'll suck you like a seagull into the Sound.
Thursday, August 05, 2010
Table is set for some good phone sex. One problem: you are a phone sex virgin. But, frankly, it is not exactly a problem since you are ignorant of your lack of expertise in that department. Since you have never had it, you don't even think of it. But, apparently your partner has been thinking about this. A lot. For a long time.
She calls you. She sounds tired but wanted to catch up with you since you haven't spoken in four days. Her voice goes soft towards the end of the conversation. Her voice is one that you recognize as the bed voice. Meaning: this is how she talks when you are about to have sex or have already had really good sex. Her voice is soft and husky. A little urgent. This sort of baffles you but you think to yourself that maybe she is just really, really exhausted and it just sounds like her bed voice but it is really her very very tired voice.
She says, "So...what are you wearing?"
The ball has apparently been thrown but you don't have a clue. Because, yes, you are taking her literally.
You look down at your clothes. You are wearing one of her old tee shirts. You tell her this. You elaborate by saying it is the old Gin Blossoms tee shirt, the one that she spilled spaghetti sauce on and remember you tried and tried but neither of you could get it out?
Longish silence.
She finally says, "Um...oh. Okay."
You can tell that you have misstepped somehow, but haven't a clue about what. So, you being you, a very upfront and sort of practical person, you ask her what is up, why does she sound so profoundly disappointed.
She chuckles. Says: "Weeeeelllll, I guess I was hoping you would say you were wearing a black teddy."
You are totally befuddled. You don't own a black teddy, what the hell is she talking about?
You tell her this. You say, "Honey, I don't even own a teddy and why would I? They are so uncomfortable, all that scratchy fabric."
She sighs. You ask her again what is going on.
She sighs again. This time she says: "It's just...I miss you sooo much and I was hoping that you would help me out here and tell me you were wearing a thong or those lacy red panties with the black lace on the top that are in your second drawer down on the left side. The ones that you used to wear a lot when we were first together, but now...not so much..."
You are completely lost.
You say, "What do you mean, I should help you out?"
Another silence. Suddenly, you get it. This is about the same time that she says: "Um...never mind. Nothing. I love you."
You giggle like a sixteen year old girl in the backseat of a chevy.
You say, "Oh. Sorry. I get it. You want me to take care of your um....needs. Well, ok. I'm game. Let's um, see. Give me a sec."
You know that she is rolling her eyes. She has lost that bedroom voice tone and it has been replaced by the you are sort of annoying me one.
Before you can answer, she says: "Um...sweetie? Do you have to make it sound like a chore you have to do? It sounds like you are saying that you have to empty the dishwasher, take the trash out and oh...yeah....take care of my partner's needs..."
You try to make amends. You try to explain to her that it isn't like that at all. Just that you know that you BOTH see to each other's needs sexually and that you are happy to comply.
She is rolling her eyes again. You can just tell.
She says: "And of course, my needs are so much more front and center than yours are. Do you ever just...I dunno....miss me? Like I miss you? Like spend the whole day thinking of getting lost in my hair the way that I do with you? Somehow I don't think so."
She is right but you don't admit it. The thing is that you just aren't built that way. You think about sex, yeah. But, not DAILY. And not achingly really, more like fleetingly.
You tell her that you will try.
You try to think of something to say. Finally you let out a halfass really cheesy moan and say, "Oh, baby. I can feel you."
She is doing that eye rolling thing again, you think.
She mutters something under her breath that it is probably best that you don't hear.
She says out loud: "Sweetheart? You can stop. Really. I'm good. I just...like I said, I am just missing you tonight."
You admit to her that you have never done this before and you are pretty sure that you suck big time at it. She finally laughs and agrees with you. And then she says: "But, you know, I find that surprisingly sexy."
You both laugh together. This feels nice. Sort of like when you are laying in bed after sex and stroking each other's skin and telling each other about your day. All the stuff that had to be put on hold because you both just needed to fuck. Right then. Right there. Right now.
You and your partner talk a bit more. She tells you that the next time she calls and asks what you are wearing, you should say nothing. Or maybe say that you are just wearing a black leather mini skirt. You both start one upping each other with garb ideas.
A silver belt around your waist and nothing else.
High heels. Those red ones.
A see through negligee.
An unbuttoned men's shirt.
It starts to get silly as you come up with more outlandish ideas.
A whip wrapped around your waist.
Hand cuffs with fur lining.
A man's tie. A top hat.
Finally, you both admit that you are beat. So tired.
You whisper that the reason you are wearing her tee shirt is that it smells like her.
She is quiet for a moment and then finally says in an answering whisper: "Ok...now THAT is sexy. Thank you. I needed that."
You remind each other that she will be home in less than a week and promise to have crazy girl sex as soon as you can. You tell her that you will make sure that Liv has a long play date for at least one day and you will catch up on each other's um....needs.
You hang up. Before you go to bed, you make a mental note to stop at Victoria's Secret to buy a black lace teddy.
It is scratchy, yes. But, it won't be on for that long anyway......
Smiling, you get in bed and fall asleep.

I'm not all that great with the phone sex/dirty talk myself so I can actually feel your "pain" on this one even though I actually do think about sex in the achingly way a bit more often in seems than fleetingly. I'm just more about the actions than the talking. Just shut up and let's get to it, I guess!
And, Maria, don't HAVE to get a scratchy teddy. A comfy body is a sexy body. Just sayin'... ;)

Ya'll be careful. :)
- heartinsanfrancisco said...
This gave me the most delicious laughter, which it turns out was something I needed. (I'm a phone sex virgin, too, and likely to remain so. Although I once owned a teddy.)
- C said...
sooooooo, i take it you are back from your trip to see liv? and erm, missy, where is our update about that, your flight home, and possibly pictures?
cute convo with the wifey, tho... yeah, i'm not good in the phone sex dept. either... but at least you both ended up gigglin like school girls and i find that so much more comfortable...
how was your flight back?
- Rose said...
That black lace teddy idea? REALLY good one, Maria. She'll be so happy! :-)
- Trop said...
I enjoy sex, seriously. But I could also live without it. In my marriage, Court is Bing and I'm you. We have great sexual chemistry but drastically different appetites. And the harder she tries to get my fire burning, the more it feels like a chore--like another thing I have to do along with the laundry or driving the daughter to her job. And that kills it. It's the only part of my marriage that makes me unhappy.
- Earth Muffin said...
She will be thrilled with you in a teddy, and you're right...it won't be on for long. Mr. EM and I both used to think that lingerie was useless and silly. However, a few years ago, I spotted a pretty purple night-slip thingie on a sale rack at Macy's and decided to buy it. He went totally NUTS for it! Since then, I've bought a couple of other pretty, short, lacy items and all of them have been well-received. Lingerie doesn't have to be uncomfortable. Find something that you like and Bing will like it too. Have fun, you 2 crazy kids!!! ;)
- Lisa said...
I love how being practical can get in the way sometimes.
Sounds like you have the cure, though.

knowing my luck the old lady at the exchange would burst out laughing when listening in!!!
- KMae said...
I used to be really GREAT @ phone sex... back in the spring of 43... But it doesnt work if the other person isn't a sexual freak as well.. I say freak because in those days I was out of control with lust. My partner was not like that so much & rather innocent. It came easy with women who REALLY wanted me... So much so that it was one of the things I went to SCA (sexual compulsive anonymous) to get under control so I wouldnt go out of control & physically fuck women I wasnt committed to. phew! Now with the pause (as in meno-) it is a relief not to even think about it anymore... I'm not kidding.
- zirelda said...
Too funny. But boy can I understand.
Phone sex is something I just don't like at all.
- Jason, as himself said...
Maybe you should skype?
- Jason, as himself said...
Okay, that is not what I was originally going to say. I was going to say:
You are brilliant! Brilliant, I tell you.
This is one of my favorite posts of yours.
- Jason, as himself said...
Oh, and one more thing:
A top hat? That had me rolling.
- heartinsanfrancisco said...
The first time I heard of phone sex was in the Boston underground newspaper which was like the Village Voice, but I can't remember its name. I seriously thought it must be a joke.
- e said...
This had me laughing, Maria! My gf loves the sexy talk and I am just no good at it. Whether it's on the phone or in bed, I just don't click that way. For me, sex is more about *not* thinking and I have to think way too much to come up with that stuff.
Love the humor, though. That and the sweetness are what work best.
Have fun taking that teddy off!
- Miss Healthypants said...
Aww, this just made me smile and laugh--thanks! :)
You should totally check out this youtube video and listen to the words this guy says--I think you'll relate:
- kristi said...
Last week I was missing my hubby so I took a photo of my boob and sent it to him! LOL. He loved it.

Here's a wonderful 19th century faience (earthenware) soup tureen, Soupier, with a fine French sterling silver collar (Minerve marks) and a green underglaze maker mark noting "J. Vieillard & Cie, Bordeaux", as maker. I've been using this one, it's so wonderful, but ready to let it go now. With everyone loving white pottery and porcelain for dinnerware these days, I'm sure it will find a home quickly. Large size, you'll have fun serving informal to formal soup course with this elegant antique. The old mark and maker helps us to date this one between 1829 and 1895, when that firm stopped production. This mark is the earliest mark for that company.
Very good condition for age and type. There are no breaks, no cracks, no chips on the base, and one very small rim chip on the lid. There are surface crazing lines here and there. The most notable area of imperfection is on one side where the old pottery darkens a little, whether from heat or who knows what. You can see that area in our photo, and just above that, you will see the very small chip on rim of lid, too. All handles are firm, not broken, not repaired. Still, I carry it by the base rather than by handles just due to the age and weight. A really wonderful old one, mid-1800s.

CareerCast.com Reports on Most Underrated Jobs
Paralegal, Accountant and Loan Officer Top the List
Sep 21, 2011, 10:00 ET
CARLSBAD, Calif. and AMSTERDAM, Sept. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- From elementary school on, we were told to aim high in our careers and strive for such prestigious jobs as doctor, lawyer, pilot and even President. In CareerCast.com's new report on the most underrated jobs, the excitement those jobs promise typically sounds a lot better than the reality. According to CareerCast.com, the jobs held by our parents, neighbors and siblings, which seemed like "normal" jobs, may actually provide many more rewards than we ever imagined.
"While terms like flashy, glitzy, glamorous and prestigious aren't typically associated with our list of underrated jobs, these careers have some great advantages that are often overlooked," says Tony Lee, publisher, CareerCast.com. "They're professions that don't woo people with the high salaries or notoriety, but instead have characteristics that make them especially worthy."
CareerCast.com's most underrated jobs typically have median-to-higher income levels, lower stress, lower environmental dangers and lower physical demands. And even in this tight economy, all share one great attribute: a lower than average unemployment rate.
"I have the best of both worlds. I get to do the work that I want, but I don't have the high demands that a lawyer does," says Jennifer Dahms, a paralegal at a Milwaukee law firm, the career that took top honors in the CareerCast.com ranking.
While the paparazzi may not be knocking down their doors, the following jobs are worth a look if you're considering changing careers. They also apply if you're a recent graduate looking for a career that will reward you for years to come.

After last week's stress and cat drama I had a poor start to the week. I let my emotional eating get the better of me and I made some poor choices. I did turn things around midway through the week however and I am back on track and feeling much better and very excited for February!
Things I did right:
- Recognized my self destructive patterns were returning and turned it around
- Did a Zumba workout
- Made a batch of broccoli salad
- Made a healthy lasagna and ate leftovers for lunch
- Made a healthy oatmeal bar recipe and snacked on them throughout the week
- Cleaned up my apartment and washed several of my blankets
- Took the stairs with my laundry basket (it's huge and weighs about 20 lbs)
- Took some time to relax and charge my personal batteries
- Used my acupressure mat several times
- Stayed in touch with my MFP and Facebook fitness friends
So on to the goals, firstly I will look at last month and see how I did.
- Keep a positive attitude – all in all I did, there will always be days this is hard, but I kept my chin up overall
- Transition to eating clean – this I really have done well with. I still have the odd food that is not clean, but 80/20 is the goal.
- Drink lots of water – did really well at the beginning of the month when I was using my infuser. Lemons are expensive right now so I stopped using it and then was drinking less. I am still drinking more than I was before, but could stand to drink more water.
- Drink less booze – I have cut down significantly, I still do enjoy a drink in the evening but I now keep track of it in my food diary so that I know the impact it will have on my waistline.
- Read 4 books – I did not meet this goal. I have done some reading but haven't made the time to really get into some of the books that I have on my shelf. I will refocus on this for February.
- Go on 2 good hikes – Also did not achieve this, but feel I met it in other ways. I did what I called an "urban hike" which was a 6 mile walk to downtown. Also I did a fair amount of walking overall. I would have liked to have gotten out into the trails, but the weather, my personal stresses and I suppose my laziness got in the way.
- Practice Ukulele every day – although I didn't practice every single day, I really feel I was successful on this one as I did play often and I made some learning strides this month.
So all in all I consider January a success. I am down 8lbs since January 2. I was down 10lbs then had the aforementioned struggles with emotional eating. The facebook group I am in is doing a 6 week challenge and one of my goals in that challenge was to lose 10 lbs so I am very close. I would like to meet that goal but I am not going to stress about it if I do not. Goals are designed to help us progress and stay on track and they are working well for me.
So onwards and upwards to the month of February! My goals for February are:
- 3 – 300 calorie burning workouts per week
- 7000 steps a day on fitbit
- 10 flights a day (counted on fitbit)
- Drink 2L (72oz) of water each day
- Record ukulele songs to share
- Continue with 30 day meditation challenge
- Sign up (and go to) Yoga classes
- Read 2 books
- Tidy and organize apartment
- Respect my personal space and time and focus on positive self talk

I have a few questions concerning documentation and cpt coding of neonatal care.
I know what needs to be documented for critical care, in general, but is there any additional documentation required when the patient is a neonate?
Are there documentation requirements for drug addicted newborns?
Are any of you aware of billable services for drug addicted newborns that I should be looking for in documentation as a missed charge?
Many thanks for any feedback!

Dutch East Indies Daisy
Batavia Arrack is an unusual spirit from Indonesia, made by distilling sugarcane and red rice. The spirit became popular during the 17th century when spice traders from the Dutch East India Company discovered the spirit and began bringing it back to Europe, where it found a use as an ingredient to the most popular style of mixed drinks at the time – punches. Indeed today the most common drink containing Batavia Arrack is Swedish Punsch, a punch-style liqueur popular in Nordic countries.
While commonly found in many punch recipes from the 18th and 19th centuries, few modern cocktails call for Batavia Arrack. Part of this reason is that until recently it was very hard to find outside of its native country. Eric Seed of Haus Alpenz solved that problem last year when he released Batavia Arrack van Oosten – a Batavia Arrack made to David Wondrich's specifications in an attempt to replicate a traditional Arrack that would have been used in punches.
The other reason is that Batavia Arrack is… well frankly not very nice on its own. Batavia Arrack van Oosten comes in at 100 proof, and has a fiery taste that doesn't hide that. It is also malty and funky, and most definitely not a spirit you would drink straight. With such strong and pungent flavours it's also not something that mixes very easily – the few modern recipes I've seen use it as a modifier rather than the base of the drink. After getting hold of a bottle and briefly playing with it I quickly got distracted with other bright, shiny things and my Batavia Arrack soon found its way to the back of my shelf.
Dutch East Indies Daisy
- 1½ shot / 50 ml / 1½ oz Batavia Arrack
- 1 shot / 30 ml / 1 oz lime juice
- ½ shot / 15 ml / ½ oz crème de cacao
- ½ shot / 15 ml / ½ oz sugar syrup
- 2 bar-spoons fennel seeds
- Shake all ingredients with ice and fine strain in to a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a cacao powdered rim (not pictured).
However a few months back Eric Seed happened to be in town so we met up for a cocktail or three, eventually finding ourselves at The Connaught Bar. Erik Lorincz, one of their (many) great bartenders was eager to show Eric a drink he had made using Batavia Arrack – a then unnamed drink that is now called the Dutch East Indies Daisy. Upon trying the drink it was easy to understand Erik's keenness.
The lime perfectly tones down the Batavia Arrack, levelling out the harshness and helping to bring out the complex flavours of the spirit. Behind the strong sour and Arrack base the subtle chocolate notes of the crème de cacao and anise notes of the fennel seed accent the drink nicely. Apparently Batavia Arrack is often used in the chocolate industry, and I can see why.
A bold cocktail that makes most other sour-type drinks seem a bit bland, the Dutch East Indies Daisy has forced me to reevaluate Batavia Arrack, and I'm looking forward to trying some other recipes that make use of this most unusual spirit.
Anyone have a favourite Batavia Arrack recipe?

Very interesting! my arrak is also residing on the back of my shelf..not very often used.
So all i need to try this is a spoon of fennel seeds, shouldn´t be too hard to get;-)

Jay – there are three cocktails which use Batavia Arrack in the upcoming Left Coast Libations. One is from Jackie Patterson (Heaven's Dog, SF, CA), and it uses housemade cacao nib infused rum as one of the flavorings. The other two are from Dave Shenaut (Teardrop Lounge, Portland, OR) and Lane Ford (Starbelly, SF, CA). All are quite excellent uses of this oh so tricky ingredient.

Thanks for the tip Michael – really looking forward to seeing West Coast Libations, the little book the Munats were handing out at Tales last year was great, and I'm sure this will be even better.

West Ham Utd 1-0 Burnley (14/12/16)An archive of match day threads originally posted in the General Discussion forum.
Moderator: Gnome
West Ham Utd 1-0 Burnley (14/12/16)
Ok lets write off the liverpool match and maybe save players for burnley where at least we'll have carroll, kouyate, cresswell & antonio back. We need to start thinking tactically about what matches we are capable of winning. So save payet, lanzini etc and stick the likes of feghouli, nordveit, arbeloa, calleri etc on v liverpool.
There's no point in risking injury to decent players in a match we are almost definitely going to get thumped at.
Re: A bit of positivity,,,against burnley
We are a poor side the amount of games we have lost convincingly with the odd victory being pretty unconvincing too tell you that, Burnley should be looking at us as an opportunity for three points.
Re: A bit of positivity,,,against burnley
After the Liverpool game we have 4 winnable games on the bounce
We really need 10 points min from them!
Burnley may be the game That's just a point but I expect wins from hull, Swansea and lecister
Re: A bit of positivity,,,against burnley
Is there a worse team in the league than us? We have 4 winnable games coming up but at this rate I can't see us beating anybody
Re: A bit of positivity,,,against burnley
Swansea and Hull for two.
Re: A bit of positivity,,,against burnley
It's a fine line and luck is against us.
At Spurs we could have gone 2-1 down but instead the wind was taken out of their sails when ball went out of play and players then injured ate time up. We then got the 2nd. Should have held on....deserved to but Randolphs push to Kane killed us.
AT OT we dug in and got a great point with some really good defensive work.
Last Wedenesday I thought we passed the ball very well and and at 2-1 down we were in the contest. Kouyate getting caught wrong side of his man for their 3rd kicked us but still we had chances to score and a better player than Zaza would have. The 4th rocked us.
The Arsenal game showed we have ability to go forward and stretch good teams but not enough to get behind or through them. We were playing well....then the poor opener for them once again kicked us. Another conceded of our own making. We continued to play however although the midfield was often slow to drive Arsenal back.
Sanchez killed us with the 2nd. After that it was a rout.
The upshot is that confidence is no doubt in shreds now. The return of Carroll is a boost but for how long?
The season started poorly and continues to engulf us.
Goals win matches and until we are capable of scoring 2 or 3, our defensive frailties and capacity to shoot ourselves will give teams hope that if they score and shut up shop, bar a Payet screamer, they should get results against us.
Burnley won't be easy. Roll on (and presumebly past, another) January transfer window (fiasco).
Re: A bit of positivity,,,against burnley
All these teams are worse than us and we will finish above all of them - we are team that has had no striker from the get go...hopefully Carroll can stay fit until at least the end of January where we can get some better back up.
Have some faith
Re: A bit of positivity,,,against burnley
Suppose we go down by 1 point. You'd probably look back at this game and wish we'd given it more of a go. They just lost to Bournemouth. They are softcore and are missing players. What better way to kick start things than to beat the Scousers at Anfield again?
Go for the jugular. It's a shot to nothing.
Re: A bit of positivity,,,against burnley
This. 100% just go for it!
Re: A bit of positivity,,,against burnley
I really don't disagree with what you've said Kit but this sort of thing was being written on these boards two three years ago. And it's not something we were saying going into the same fixture last season and look what happened. We really should have reached the point by now where we don't give up on any game. It says much about our 'progress' these last few months that we may well be back to the days of 2013 and 2014.
Burnley will be my first league match of the season. Despite my feelings about the stadium, or more accurately our board, I'm looking forward to it - but that's mostly down to seeing mates, a few beers beforehand etc.
Re: A bit of positivity,,,against burnley
We have probably played joint worst in the league.. if we didnt get a last min goal against Sunderland then we wouldnt have won a game since the first week of november and we wouldnt be 1 point outside of the relegation zone ... plus we have conceded the second highest amounts of goals in the league so far... how anyone can say there are worse teams i dont understand.
Every game is a must win we need to pick up points.. we need to make an effort .. we shouldnt be writing off any game regardless of the club.
Re: A bit of positivity,,,against burnley
I sympathise with Kit's point of view in one sense. We've had horrible luck with injuries this season. Maybe starting Carroll, Cresswell and Antonio on the bench is a smart idea. When you're desperate for points, you often rush players back, and risk them getting injured like Sakho did.
I'd give the players returning from injury one more week to get properly fit, so they're firing on all cylinders for those winnable games.
Re: A bit of positivity,,,against burnley
And it's that attitude that costs us!
To assume we've only got to turn up and we'll beat Burnley is arrogance of the highest order.... they are above us in the table for a reason.... we're playing ****!
To turn it around you have to aplly yourself in every game, not just pick and choose.
What happens if in the first 10 seconds against Burnley, they break free, one of ours hacks theirs down, straight red and they smash the free-kick in, 1-0 down, down to 10 and 90 to go. Plan right out the window.
Also, it's a slap in the face of the travelling fans if we just go up to Liverpool and roll over.
Re: A bit of positivity,,,against burnley
Can't see us getting anything out of this.
The one good thing about the game is that I'm not able to make it and will be going out instead.
Re: A bit of positivity,,,against burnley
I read somewhere that Kouyate did his hamstring in training on Friday.
I think we can get something at Liverpool though. Hopefully Cresswell, Carroll, Antonio and Ayew will start.
Re: A bit of positivity,,,against burnley
Burnley are a hard working team. They are top 4 with Liverpool, Tottenham and Man City in terms of distance covered per game. Against our unfit bunch not training properly this has the potential to be a proper banana skin.
Add to that they play Bournemouth at home on Saturday, we play Liverpool away late on Sunday.
Re: A bit of positivity,,,against burnley
Rest players against Liverpool? In a Premier League game?
Re: A bit of positivity,,,against burnley
You are Sam Alladyce and I claim my £5.
Re: A bit of positivity,,,against burnley
Personally I think that when we play badly we are just as bad as any team in the mix. We do know that if we can get a team out that has the majority of players that played against Palace we can be a comfortable mid table team. The players that have been signed have not been as good as the players they are supposed to try and compete with to get in the team. Get on the front foot early against Burnley, pin them back, get the crowd going. Burnley will know we will see this a game we must win and will be prepared for an early onslaught, don't disappoint them, make the game a cup tie. Get a goal in the first 15 mins, get the crowd bouncing.
Re: A bit of positivity,,,against burnley
talking of positivity, let's really get behind the team against Burnley as well rather than moaning and groaning if we don't score in the first 10 or 15 mins. Whilst I know most of us are against the owners, their crap signings, and the move, do any of us seriously want to be back in the Championship next year?

Guntur: His grit and determination to not leave the grip of the trunk of a tree for eight hours saved his life while three of his family members were washed away in floods in Andhra Pradesh.
It was not the administration but the villagers who showed the will to rescue the 14-year-old boy from the danger of the flood.
Heavy rains in Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh saw flash floods which played havoc in the region.
A 14-year-old boy Venkateshwarulu was in shock when he saw water flooding everywhere and his family comprising father Ch. Kondalu (35), mother Subbulu (25) and sister Vanaja (10) were hit by flooding when water started to rise at the Ganganapalem lift irrigation site. They were washed away but only Venkateshwarulu managed to hold on to a palm tree.
When some people of Ameen sahib palem village saw him, they immediately informed the administration for help. But rescuers couldn't do much. Even police and NDRF tried but in vain as flood waters were flowing heavily.
The local villagers and Venkateshwarlu's uncle Ch. Polaiah stood at the side motivating the boy not to leave the tree. He was seen climbing the tree when the water level was rising.
District administration sent a helicopter but it couldn't do much to save the boy. When in the late evening of Thursday, the water receded, the villagers, with the help of rope, got into the water and reached the palm tree and eventually rescued him.
More than 100 people gather at the site when the local level rescue operation was on. After being rescued Venkateshwarlu said that only villagers' support gave him strength to hold on to the tree as he thought he will die soon.
He wished his family could have been rescued. However, he thanked the entire village for saving him.

i live in a rural area where a lot of my neighbors and i have skinny, it is the closest thing to free calling we have.
there is no adsl internet within 20klm.
on the weekend 21/22 nov spark upgraded the one and only spark tower in our area.
since then i and my neighbors have noticed a big drop in service by at least 2 bars which is significant in the country, where that might be all you have.
calls are dropping out and internet is as slow as a 28 k modem .
there is now no signal where we have had signal for at least 10 years.
i rang skinny who said they could not control what spark did on sparks tower, so i rang spark to see would they could do.
spark would not help me because i had a skinny no.
so back to skinny and round and round.
we are remote rural with a small population.
spark may not even care what alcatal-lucent did to the cell tower, as most of the population live on the other side of the hill and the signal seems ok there.
they may be going to upgrade to 4G and have only half finished the job, who knows.
we would just like to know if it can be fixed
or do we have to switch to vodafone

Blues have potent PP, need more punch 5-on-5by John Kreiser / NHL.com
|Rank (Conference)
|2008-09 Points
(7TH WEst/15TH NHL)
|Change from 2007-08
|Home Points
(9TH WEst/17TH NHL)
|Away Points
(7TH WEst/15th NHL)
The Blues allowed 181 power plays at home, the sixth-highest total in the NHL, and actually had to kill off fewer disadvantages (176) on the road.
Even-Strength Goals Margin -16
The Blues scored only 133 goals while playing 5-on-5, the fewest of any team to make the playoffs. St. Louis had nine players who were minus-10 and below.
Special Teams Goal Margin +16
The biggest reason for the Blues' improvement was their power play, which went from last in the NHL in 2007-08 (47 goals, 14.1 percent success rate) to eighth (72 goals, 20.5 percent).
Goals by defensemen 15
No St. Louis defenseman had more than four goals. The return of former No. 1 pick Erik Johnson, who missed all of last season with a knee injury, should help to generate more offense.
Overtime Record
Total: 10-4-6 (OT: 4-4, SO: 6-6)
Brad Boyes, never a big success in shootouts (6-for-20 before 2008-09), turned into one of the NHL's best, scoring on half of his 12 attempts. He was the only player to take part in more than half of the Blues' 12 shootouts.
Times Scored First
35 (Record: 24-7-4)
The Blues made it tough on themselves by scoring first less often than everyone but Tampa Bay and Colorado. They were last in the NHL with only 14 first goals away from home.
Best 08-09 Number 14-6-4
St. Louis' record within the Central Division, the best of any of the five teams within the division. It's especially impressive when you consider that the Central had four of the West's eight playoff teams.
Worst 08-09 Number 1-8-0
St. Louis' record on Wednesdays, by far the worst in the NHL -- though eight of the nine games were on the road (they were 1-7-0). The Blues were .500 or better on the other six days of the week.
The Blues start their season in Stockholm with a pair of games against Detroit. They enjoy a six-game homestand in November and play their last three games before the Olympic break at Scottrade Center, but come back after the Games by playing their first six (and nine of 11) on the road.
