Oh goodness, am I ever a girl that compares. I found this cute video 'The Ugly Trap of Comparison' that one of my friends was a part of and had shared on Facebook. I instantly loved it because comparison has a tendency to get the best of all of us, despite the fact we know how unhealthy and how depressing it can be.
Comparison is ugly.
Comparison is unappealing.
Comparison is a sin.
In 2 Corinthians 10:12 we read:
"For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise."
When I look inside my life I find that every bit of my comparing comes from a sense of pride. I am trying to be something "more" than someone else whether I consciously recognize this or not. Either I will try to build myself up by comparing that I'm better off than others, but more often I compare that I am worse off and not good enough. If you were to step into my mind, these are some of the thoughts you would hear that I am not proud to admit...
"At least I don't have that weakness."
"I'm stronger than her."
"I probably would have handled that better."
"My pain is so much worse."
"Her features are so much prettier than mine."
These are just a few of my thoughts that I have caught myself saying. I often have to put these thoughts on a shelf, evaluate if they are true or not, and then take them back if they are or throw them in the trash if they aren't.
No good ever comes out of comparing. This is one of the adversary's favorite tools he uses to get us off track. My dream is to be a people builder, one that always helps others to feel good about themselves, as if they were a queen in my presence. I know that is how Christ would treat each of us, and I want to be found doing the same. If I am constantly worried about whether or not I am good enough, smart enough, pretty enough, it becomes rather hard and nearly impossible to focus on other people and to build them up the way my heart yearns to do so. As I worry about what others are thinking of me, my mind becomes distracted, my guard goes up, and my actions display I am in a defense mode and I'm too worried about myself, to think of you. That is why self-esteem is so important, the self-esteem that comes from God because knowing we are enough in His eyes, we don't even have to spend time thinking about accepting who we are, because Christ has done it for us, and that is beautiful.
Place your trust in Christ, He said you were worth dying for, believe Him. You don't have to spend time worrying about if you are enough or finding every single way to accept and love who you are, when you love and trust Christ, it just happens. It's a spiritual gift you will find yourself humbly stumbling upon.

Joseph Anderson Donetti
More Adventures With Mac
Joseph Anderson Donetti -- More Adventures With Mac, Chapter 11
Did God Mess Up?
Joseph Anderson Donetti rolled over in bed yet again. He shut his eyes tightly. He lay very still. It didn't help.
Joseph opened his eyes. He rolled over the other way. Now the quilt was all wadded up underneath him. How does a person fall asleep on purpose? he wondered, tugging at the blankets. Most of the time he just went to bed and was asleep before he even knew it. He usually only knew he was asleep because he woke up in the morning!
Joseph turned over again. Then he heard the kitchen door creak as it opened. Good! Mom was finally home.
Joseph slipped out of bed and tiptoed softly to the top of the stairs. The kitchen light was on. He heard the refrigerator door open and close. That meant Mom had brought home some kind of yummy leftovers from her work at the restaurant. Maybe it was lasagna. Joseph padded down the steps.
"O-o-h! You scared me!" Mom whispered as she suddenly saw him in the kitchen doorway. She pressed her hand to her heart. "Maybe next time you'd better make a little more noise coming down the stairs."
"I didn't want to wake up G.M.," Joseph explained.
Mom looked at the clock on the stove. She looked at her watch. "Why are you still awake?" she asked. A little frown wrinkled her forehead. "Are you sick?"
"No," Joseph answered. "I guess not. I don't feel too good, but I'm not sick."
Mom put her hands on Joseph's cheeks. She bent over and kissed the top of his head. "So what's the matter?" she asked.
Joseph's eyes filled up with tears. He leaned into Mom and gave her a big, big hug. How terrible it would be if his mom died! The tears spilled over, and Joseph began to cry.
Mom pulled out a chair and sat down. Joseph sat on her lap. As tall as he was getting to be, he still seemed to fit. He put his head on Mom's shoulder.
They sat there together, Joseph and Mom, tears running out of Joseph's eyes and soaking into Mom's blouse. Finally Joseph mumbled the news. "Mac's mom is maybe going to die," he whispered.
"What did you say?" Mom asked in surprise.
"I said, Mac's mom is maybe going to die," Joseph repeated. He lifted his head up and looked at his mother. "She has cancer. I know people get cancer and die. Maybe Mac's mom will die too."
Mom blinked. She reached over and grabbed a napkin from the table. She handed it to Joseph so he could wipe his face. "What sad news!" she said. "Tell me about it."
So Joseph did. He told Mom that Mac was really, really scared. He also told Mom what G.M. had said about God promising to be with His children in all their troubles. "I think God messed up, though," Joseph went on. "I think it would be better if He didn't give us any troubles instead of being with us in them!"
Mom laughed a shaky little laugh. "It's not God's fault that we have troubles here on this earth," she said. "That's Satan's fault." Mom took a deep breath. "Satan hates people. He wants people to be sick, and miserable, and hopeless, and separated from God.
"But Jesus loves people so much that He came to save us from Satan and from sin. As long as we are still in this world, people will get sick and die. But that's not the really important thing. The really important thing is that Jesus made a way for us to be with Him forever. And in heaven and the new earth there will not be sickness or dying. God's children are not supposed to worry about dying," Mom continued. "Dying, itself, is not a thing to be afraid of. Dying without having accepted Jesus as your Savior--that's the thing a person should be afraid of."
Joseph rested his head on Mom's shoulder again. His eyelids felt very heavy. He felt heavy all over. He yawned.
"I think you'd better get back to bed," Mom said. She patted his leg. "I'll go up with you and tuck you in. We'll talk more about all this tomorrow. We'll talk as much as you need to."
Joseph went to the sink. He got a drink of water. Then he climbed the steep steps. He crawled under the covers and lay down. He yawned again.
Mom smiled. She sat down on the bed beside him. "God loves you, Joseph Anderson Donetti!" she said. "He planned you. He made you. He wants to live with you forever. You will have troubles sometimes in your life. They might even be really big troubles. But Jesus is taking you to heaven. And you will live there with Him forever, and ever, and ever, and ever. And you won't have troubles there. Jesus promised!
"Do you know what?" Mom said suddenly. "There are things that we can do to help Mrs. Evans."
"G.M. said the best thing we can do is pray," Joseph replied. "She said we need to fight, not give up, and that prayer is like a weapon."
"She's right, of course," Mom agreed. "We will certainly pray for Mac's mom. And we will remember that lots and lots of people who get cancer are cured and live long lives. But there are other things we can do too. Mrs. Evans isn't going to feel very good for awhile. She's going to need to get a lot of rest. We can help her out. We can do things for her that she won't be able to do while she's sick. Maybe you and Mac could make a list of some of those things--like cooking and laundry. Then we can talk it over with G.M. and decide the best ways we can help."
Joseph squirmed further down under the quilts. He looked up at Mom and grinned. "Maybe G.M. could cook for Mac's family," he suggested.
Mom grinned back. "I'll leave it to you to suggest that to your grandmother!" she said.
Joseph's eyelids closed. He was asleep before Mom closed the bedroom door.

San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival
Return of the Sun
by Nirmala Nataraj on Jun 05, 2009
Continuing in its colorful tradition of educating awestruck spectators with generous splashes of the unexpected, the San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival marks its 31st anniversary, with 37 professional companies (representing over 20 distinct cultures and more than 500 Northern California dancers and musicians) bringing their repertoire to the Palace of Fine Arts over four weekends. One might think that after so many performances, the novelty of the festival would have eventually worn off. However, the aspect that makes the festival so remarkably watchable is its commitment to the artists, who are not simply there to provide exuberant, family-friendly fare, but to breathe new life into both age-old and more obscure art forms.
Each year, a theme assures the festival an atmosphere of renewal and newness, which also serves to tie the performances together in a way that goes beyond simply emphasizing the universal lingua franca of dance. This year, the Return of the Sun weaves together dance, music, myth, and storytelling in a mythopoetic array of pieces that are somehow connected to that most elemental of symbols. In using the sun as a reference point for the various performances, the festival also points to the timeless connection between dance and nature, as well as the cycles of the earth and civilization that are demarcated by the changing seasons.
The festival also features 13 world premieres, including three pieces especially commissioned for the festival (by Gamelan Sekar Jaya, Murphy Irish Dancers, and Leung White Crane) to encourage the creation of contemporary traditional work and perhaps, to dispel the notion that traditional or ethnic dance always hails from pre-existing choreography rather than perpetual innovation. Here are some of the highlights you can expect this year:
Weekend 1, June 6 & 7
Gamelan Sekar Jaya: Representing 30 years of bringing Balinese music and dance to the bay Area, this troupe sports the ever-memorable gamelan (a traditional Indonesian gong orchestra) that sets a haunting backdrop of interlocked rhythms for the world premiere of Subak. The dance honors the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, who presides over the rice harvest and fertility -- and features evocative movement reminiscent of the rituals of ancient agricultural societies. The dance also includes a breathtaking ensemble of giant bamboo marimbas (the gamelan jegog), which actually require musicians to climb them in order to play them.
Murphy Irish Dancers: This local troupe (whose artistic director Mary Jo Feeney is also the recipient of the 2009 festival Lifetime Achievement Award) graces the stage with another world premiere, Tir Na Nog", an enchanting suite of Irish dances based on a whimsical fairy tale about an immortal Celtic princess beleaguered by the passage of time. The company features older, experienced dancers alongside wee tots (which means its always fun for the entire family), whose the festive, kinetic jigs are both hypnotic and uplifting.
Weekend 2, June 13 & 14
Kariktan Dance Company: This company presents the dances of Mindanao, a southern Phillipine island with Muslim influences. The Mindanao-Muslim dance, represented in a trio of dances by the company, is at turns epic and regal -- including a piece on the pre-historic immigration of peoples to the Phillipines, as well as symbolic pre-nuptial and courtship dances. Intricate footwork, flashy costumes, and a fascinating orchestra of brass gongs, slit drums, and bamboo xylophones make for a tantalizing performance full of eye candy at every whirl and turn.
Weekend 3, June 20 & 21
Imanis Dream: This local hip-hop and modern dance troupe brings the life of the inner cities into a poignant performance, Love Radio Station, which uses the framework of a fictional call-in radio talk show to address young peoples feelings about love and self-expression. Popping, locking, strobing, ticking, gliding, and sliding are just some of the fluid movements that youll see in this propulsive, gorgeously choreographed world premiere.
Weekend 4, June 27 & 28
The final weekend presents one of the highlights of the entire festival, a storytelling performance that includes five companies: First Voice (a Japanese-American storytelling/music duo comprising Brenda Wong Aoki and Mark Izu), Ensambles Ballet Folklorico de San Francisco (representing Mesoamerica), Northern California Korean Dance Association (Korea), De Rompe y Raja Cultural Association (Peru), and Shreelata Suresh (India). First Voice works to weave together the dance performances with Japanese Noh and Kyogen dance, with the story of the Japanese sun goddess, Amaterasu. Each of the dancers draws from their own tradition (e.g., through elements such as Mayan hieroglyphs and frescoes of the sun, or Indian bharatnatyam poses addressing the sun) to shape this universal tale of struggle, renewal, and light in times of darkness.
As the capstone of the weekend (and indeed, the event), its the kind of eloquent, layered piece that emblematizes what the festival has sought to do for 31 years: not just give people a taste of the exotic or unfamiliar, but to bring even the strangest gestures close to home. While few of us may have the cultural knowledge to fairly evaluate a dance form that weve never seen before, the sheer artistry, skill, and empathy of the assembled companies will always make us certain that what we are viewing is truly art.

Senators Want To Ban SMS Spam
from the thx-4-the-gd-idea dept
While there have been lots of attempts to ban spam email (some less effective than others), text-message spam sent to mobile phones has largely escaped legislative scrutiny. The CAN SPAM Act bans sending spam emails to phones, but it doesn't specifically address SMS. An Arizona court ruled earlier legislation covering autodialed telemarking calls also banned SMS spam, but that decision didn't seem particularly solid. Other countries, like India, have extended their Do Not Call lists to cover SMS spam, and now a couple of US senators have introduced legislation that would do the same here. SMS spam hasn't become a huge problem in the US for a number of reasons, mainly because it costs spammers more than email spam, while it's also generally easier to track down those who sent it than with email. Still, it's nice to see a law seeking to get out ahead of something so annoying, rather than waiting until the cat's out of the bag and it's an uncontrollable situation.

Operating License Unit 1:
Issued – July 17,1982, Expires – July 17, 2042
Operating License Unit 2:
Issued – March 23, 1984, Expires – March 23, 2044

Located on a hilltop overlooking the scenic Susquehanna River Valley in northeastern Pennsylvania, the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES) is a 2,630-megawatt facility with two boiling water reactors and two closed-cycle cooling towers. As a result of Extended Power Uprate (EPU) work, Susquehanna now proudly operates one of the largest Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) sites in the United States, generating more than 2,600 megawatts in total, at optimum conditions.
Susquehanna is located about seven miles north of Berwick and is owned jointly by Susquehanna Nuclear LLC and Allegheny Electric Cooperative Inc. and is operated by Susquehanna Nuclear LLC, one of Talen Energy Corporation's generating affiliates. For information, visit www.susquehannanuclear.com.
Pennsylvania Power & Light applied to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a construction permit in April 1971. The NRC issued the permit Nov. 2, 1973, and construction began later that month. Unit 1 began commercial operations in 1983 and Unit 2 in 1985. The units began generating electricity under 40-year operating licenses. In November 2009, following a rigorous process and review, the NRC granted a 20-year extension of the original licenses, allowing both Susquehanna units to operate until 2042 and 2044, respectively.
The 1,200-acre site located in Salem Township, Luzerne County, was selected for its stable geology, available cooling water from the Susquehanna River, accessible power supply lines to other parts of the service area and convenient highway and rail transportation. General Electric Co. designed the plant's twin reactors. Bechtel Power Corp. served as the primary contractor.
With equipment and system upgrades completed during the 2010 and 2011 refueling and maintenance outage, respectively, Unit 1 and Unit 2 became the largest BWRs in terms of thermal power and generating capacity in the United States. When operating at 100 percent power, each unit has the capacity of 3,952 megawatts thermal (a measure of the heat produced in the reactor) and over 1,300 megawatts electrical (a measure of the electricity produced by the generator).

MMA, an early entrant in the marketing analytics space, will work with Yahoo! to build an ROI assessment model based on its existing MMA model. It will include Yahoo! data showing users' exposure to online display and search advertising.
Under the program, marketers can also give MMA data from other sources, including direct marketing campaigns and Web sites, to get a broader view of their total marketing programs.
"In many ways, online marketing can be more accountable than many offline marketing tactics, but there is still a real need to understand the total sales impact of online and offline programs on a common ROI basis so that optimal budget allocations can be made," said John Nardone, MMA chief client officer, in a statement.

From Fairborn, Ohio, USA:
Recently I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and endometriosis, so my gynecologist sent me to an endocrinologist who did some testing. He told me that I have hyperinsulinism and insulin resistance, and he is starting me on Glucophage. Does this mean I have diabetes or not? I asked the nurse, and she said I don't have diabetes. When did some research I found nothing, other then it is linked to diabetes. My blood sugar goes anywhere from 50-587mg/dl [2.7-32.6 mmol/L]. What does all this mean? Can you help me?
Your story has me confused so I can only imagine how you must feel. Please schedule an appointment by phone or in person to talk further with your endocrinologist about what your diagnosis is and why he is prescribing Glucophage [metformin].
Additional comments from Dr. David Schwartz:The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is being better recognized as often being a component to a larger issue that can be associated with insulin resistance (hyperinsulinemia) which indeed can be associated with type 2 diabetes, elevated blood lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides), high blood pressure, and even excess male hormone production, which is in part the cause of irregular menstruation, facial or other excess body hair, and acne sometimes seen in these affected women. This larger condition has been given the name of the Metabolic Syndrome and is also referred to as "Syndrome X." There is much evidence to suggest that the excess insulin/insulin resistance is a primary suspect that can lead to all of the other components.
Metformin (Glucophage) is used to limit the amount of excess glucose sugar produced by the liver; in turn this will limit the amount of insulin the pancreas needs to provide. Metformin may even have some mild insulin "sensitizing" effects. In addition, not uncommonly, people will have diminished appetite and can lose weight while on metformin. There is evidence that metformin can limit the production of excess male hormones in women affected with PCOS. Therefore, it is a very good option when treating the woman with PCOS, even if there is not frank diabetes. But with a random glucose around 500 mg/dL, then I would suspect that you do indeed have diabetes, if those values are confirmed.
Additional comments from Dr. Jim Lane:Insulin resistance is a significant factor contributing to type 2 diabetes. However, not all people with insulin resistance have diabetes. In the case of polycystic ovary syndrome, this condition is associated with insulin resistance. The syndrome is associated with menstrual irregularities, elevated lipids, mild to moderate hyperandrogenism, and insulin resistance. Treatments that allow for a decrease in the insulin resistance have a beneficial impact on the syndrome. One way of decreasing insulin resistance is through weight loss. Another way is by using the drug metformin (trade name Glucophage). It should also be said up front that patients with polycystic ovary syndrome are at increased risk for type 2 diabetes.
[Editor's comment: If you have had several blood sugar levels in the 500's, you have far surpassed the criteria needed to diagnose diabetes. See Classification and Diagnosis of Diabetes. I can't imagine why an endocrinologist's nurse would say you don't have diabetes if she had access to the numbers you mention. As Jane mentioned, you definitely need to talk to your endocrinologist!

I promised to keep you up to date with the good, the bad, and the ugly in Fremantle, so here three examples of it I found on a walk through Fremantle yesterday.
The display at the Chemist Warehouse is ugly, the tagging on the bins in front of the graffiti mural is bad, and at least the back of the Newport Hotel is very attractive.
Talking about attractive, go and have a look at the lovely new Herberts bar upstairs at the Federal Hotel(formerly Rosy O'Grady). It's very cosy! I'll do a photo blog on it as soon as I get permission from them.

Leviathyn | Television, more so than perhaps any other medium, can suck you in, 20-minute by 20-minute chunk. Personally, I often have a tendency to get sucked into half-hour sitcoms, and my latest obsession is How I Met Your Mother, a CBS sitcom about a guy named Ted Mosby, who lives in New York City as he tries to find The One.
I wouldn't call How I Met Your Mother a guilty pressure...the early stuff is actually legitimately good.

You don't have to be a fan of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons to enjoy "Jersey Boys." The songs are frustratingly infectious, and the rags-to-riches meets "Goodfellas" storyline of the Broadway production is the perfect pop package for newbies or die-hard groupies.
"Jersey Boys" tells the story of the birth, fall, and revival of the Four Seasons, the powerhouse pop group from New Jersey that blended a pre-Beatles doo-wop sound with killer hooks and an iconic voice. Featuring performances of hit songs like "Walk Like a Man," "Sherry" and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," "Jersey Boys" works as a jukebox musical, as well as a familiar but engaging story about the cost of fame and friendship.
Each of the "Four Seasons" gets a chance to narrate the show, and the differing perspectives help propel the show. Aaron De Jesus plays Valli with gritty determination. He's definitely got the helium high tenor and hits every note, but De Jesus feels like a placeholder in his own show until Valli gets to tell his story in the second act.
The rest of the band includes songwriting wunderkind Bob Gaudio (Drew Seeley), Tommy DeVito (Matthew Dailey), the band manager with a gambling problem, and bassist — and comic relief — Nick Massi (Keith Hines).
The show is a slow build through Act I but really cruises through Act II as Massi and Valli finally get to share their stories. When Massi gets unleashed on a fellow bandmate, Hines shines.
The show also features stylish period choreography from Sergio Trujillo, performed with clockwork precision, and an onstage band including a drummer who rolls from one performance platform to another.
As Massie says, "None of us were saints." But they definitely sing like angels.
"Jersey Boys"
7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 14-Thursday, Oct. 15; 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16; 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17; 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 18

Written by: Melody Charles
Going from assembly-line work to engineering to entertainment wasn't the most conventional path to follow, but Loni Love used her intellect and observational wit to become an in-demand comedian and actress. Whether you've seen her on TruTV Presents: World's Dumbest, remember her from Star Search or have seen her many appearances in films (Soul Plane and the upcoming Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2) talk shows and sitcoms (Girlfriends, Chelsea Lately, The Tonight Show With Jay Leno), Love has always presented herself as an astute and amiable sister, qualities now on full display as she appears on The Real, a daily daytime talk show now syndicated on Fox after a trial test run and featuring four other co-hosts: Adrienne Ballon, Jeannie Mai, Tamera Mowry-Housley and Tamar Braxton.
Fresh from a field shoot and excited about the official debut, the 43-year-old Detroit native dished with us by phone from Los Angeles about her co-stars, a surprising segment of fans and how The Real is different from every other talk show in the mix.
KNOWSHI- I've been a fan since watching you on World's Dumbest and on Soul Plane, really happy for you all getting picked up for syndication.
LONI LOVE (Loni)- "I'm proud to be a part of this, thank you so much! "
KNOWSHI- How did the show come about and what was the process in getting it to its Monday debut?
Loni- "Telepictures wanted to put together a show that would hit a younger demographic with women of color as hosts. It started in April 2013 with a seven city test run and 26 episodes. We got picked up in October and just started production last month. We're also the first to get syndicated for both FOX and BET."
KNOWSHI- Yay! Did you ladies all know each other before the show was assembled or……
Loni- "Well you can't just put people together for a show like this to work: we all knew of each other or worked together at one time or another, but once they put us all together, it was magical. We're a good group of girls who have spirited discussions on the issues and topics important to us. Our production team allows us to bring those to the table and with us being in our 30s up to the 40s, we're all still growing. Some are going through marriages and have children, some are contentedly single like me, but we all make new discoveries and even if we disagree, we can work things out."
KNOWSHI- So you're saying there's no cattiness, shade-throwing and messy stuff?
Loni- It's crazy that due to these reality shows out here, people think women can't get along—-there's no leader on The Real, we're all on the same level and yes we disagree, but we don't need to throw wine and pull weaves, we just work it out."
KNOWSHI- What's it been like to work with Tamera, Tamar, Jeannie and Adrienne?
Loni- "What folks don't know is how hard everybody works. In addition to the show, the ladies do their own projects and still come in at 6am and tape two shows a day for 6 days a week. As for Tamar, she is one of the hardest-working women in the business: you've got to remember that when we were first taping last year, she was still taping her own reality show, was pregnant, dropped the baby, did a tour and everything. Never once did she complain about her schedule, and we were cool with each other right from the first day."
KNOWSHI- That's so refreshing Loni, wow! What can we expect as an audience when we tune in on Monday?
Loni- "Our target demographic is women from 25-54, but we've got women and men—-even big ol' motorcycle-riding dudes—-coming up to us talking about how much they love and watch the show. We do the girl chat, catch up on what's happening in the news, have big celebrity guests….just think of it like a girlfriend check-in hour, people need to tune in because we're all gonna have a good time! (laughs)"
KNOWSHI- I'm setting up the DVR right now, thank you so much Loni. Anything else you want to share with fans of your work and audiences of The Real?
Loni- "I just want to say to the aspiring artists out there that it can happen, you just have to be ready. I was on the road for ten years in comedy clubs and a lot of people don't want to do the work to even get the opportunity. We all work hard for ourselves and always stay humble, none of us are taking this chance for granted, especially since it offers something so special for women of color."

Farm machinery maker Deere & Company (NYSE:DE) has a number of catalysts working in its favor. Most prominent of which is the undeniable tailwind at the back of the global agriculture industry. Populations across the world are growing rapidly, particularly in the emerging markets. It goes without saying that all these people need to eat. And, as emerging economies expand and millions of people enter the middle class, diets increasingly become protein-based.
To be exact, Deere estimates that the global population will swell to 9 billion by 2050, up from 7 billion currently. A full 70% of the world will be living in cities, and Deere management expects the world's growing, more urban-based population will enjoy higher living standards. In response, Deere will be relied upon to offer products and services that help meet all this demand for more food, fuel, and shelter.
Put it all together, and it's clear that Deere will benefit greatly from all this increased demand. Management proved as much by significantly raising its dividend. A company's dividend policy is a signal of how management sees the future shaping up. If Deere's recent financial performance and its dividend announcement are any guide, the company has a profitable road ahead of it.
In the right place at the right time
Deere will surely be able to capitalize on what's likely to be intense future demand for food. Global populations continue to soar, by tens of millions of people every year. And, since there's only so much land available for food production, the stress on crop yields virtually requires Deere's farming equipment and services. Plainly stated, Deere should do well simply because of the industry it operates in.
On the other hand, one of Deere's competitors in the heavy equipment space, Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT), is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Caterpillar is very reliant on the mining industry, which is proving very problematic. Prices for several precious metals, including gold and silver, have declined significantly for more than a year. This has resulted in a huge drop in global mining activity, and is weighing on Caterpillar's results.
Caterpillar reported flat sales in the first quarter, year over year. Caterpillar has struggled for some time, and will continue to struggle, because of the headwinds facing mining. Sales fell 16% last year, and the company expects difficulties to remain this year as well. The company's 2014 outlook of $5.55 per share in earnings would represent a 3% decline from last year. And, it's worth noting that Caterpillar's EPS fell 32% last year versus 2012.
Caterpillar's decline is moderating, but Deere is having no such problems. Deere grew revenue by 5% in 2013, after 13% revenue growth the previous year. Deere's profits jumped 15% last year, and 2013 represented Deere's third year in a row of record profits.
Deere sees great things yet to come
Not only has Deere done extremely well over the past few years, but it expects strong results for the foreseeable future. To demonstrate its confidence, Deere recently jacked up its dividend by 18%. This represents the 12th dividend increase in the last 10 years.
Along with the increase, Deere CEO Samuel R. Allen stated that his company is well-positioned to reap the rewards from the favorable agricultural trends over the long term. In addition, the dividend increase reflects his confidence in the company's ability to generate strong free cash flow going forward.
Foolish final thoughts
The world's population is expanding, and so are several under-developed economies, particularly in Asia and the Middle East. As a result, the world needs farming equipment and services, and Deere will be there to solve the complex agricultural needs across the globe.
Deere has executed strongly over the past few years, and will continue to do so. To demonstrate management's confidence in the future, the company raised its dividend by a hefty amount to reward shareholders. Deere's huge dividend increase is a great signal that the company has very profitable years ahead of it.

This is to inform that I am having Casio Digital Camera Exilim EX-Z500 for last few years. The same was giving very good pictures, but last week, it suddenly started malfunctioning. Whenever, we took indoor pictures, they were coming out well as per attached pictures (CIM2831 & CIM2826) but when the camera was taken outside in the day light, though the picture was very clear on the LCD screen but after clicking, the picture is overshadowed with white light (as per other attached pictures).
Some things to try:\0121. Go into the menu and find "reset" to return to factory default settings.\0122. Check the ISO setting....you may have it set too high for outdoor pictures.\0123. Check the "exposure compensation"...it should be at "0". ... Casio Exilim EX-S500 Digital Camera
Water damage I dropped my camera in a small puddle of water. When I try to take pictures in the light, I get a white picture on the LCD screen. However, when I try taking pictures indoors or in dark places, the pictures work. Please advise how I can fix this problem. I have a Canon Ixus 25. Whilst in a bag,a water bottle burst and the camera got wet. On returning home I removed the battery and memory card and left it to dry in the soft sun.

From Sydney, New South Wales, Australia:
My 13 year old son has just been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and I am very concerned about how he will adapt to this with regard to diet, planning ahead and maintaining the necessary discipline to keep himself healthy. I don't want it to become an issue over which he seeks to rebel, but I am worried that he does not fully understand the long term repercussions of not managing his diabetes properly and think that real stories about real people may get this through to him.
How can I support him in making these adjustments without scaring him by stating the facts too pointedly? Are there any web sites which give details of patients who have not managed their diabetes and ended up needing kidney transplants? Are there any web sites to help all of us become more informed as we come to terms with this also?
I think you are right to suppose that managing diabetes could be quite a challenge to a beginning teenager, and it is splendid that you are concerned, and his father too, I hope. I do however feel that trying to get compliance by illustrations of complications is not the way to go.
I think you should start by learning all you can about the management of diabetes at this age and you might look for some of the new gadgets for giving insulin and checking blood sugar. These, together with insulin regimens, have made good control much simpler and in someways more appealing to a technically inclined adolescent. Sustaining interest in active sports would also be an important contribution.
Perhaps most important of all though, I would suggest that you try to organise his care through a team that comprises not only the doctor, but a dietitian, a nurse educator and a medical social worker. They are likely to be a little more successful than you in detecting lapses in control and in stage managing improvement. I hope this is of some help and perhaps the best that cane be done with the limitations of e-mail.

Just about everyone can use the same word to describe their family: BUSY. A day at school is the equivalent to working a full-time job, after all, and bringing home school work is just like working overtime. And we wonder why there's never enough time to fix a great meal!
Here's a busy-family favorite recipe because it's quick and really tasty—even for picky young eaters! If you have some leftover cooked chicken pieces, you can save even more time, since you won't have to do that initial cooking.
You know, the next time you DO have some time, cook a batch of chicken up, shred it, and pop it in the freezer. That way, you can make this recipe anytime, and save even more precious minutes.
So take it from us—we feel your pain! But we have some recipes that can really help. Stay tuned for more Busy Family Favorites!
Fast Chicken and Rice

Abstract: Ana Cordova
Mentor: Xuemei Cheng
The Magnetic Bubble state in magnetic nanodisks with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is an interesting subject matter of nanomagnetism not only because of the fundamental physics that this system holds but also because of its potential applications in efficient data storage. The magnetic bubble state consists of a circular domain wall that separates the nanodisk into two magnetic domains of opposite out-of-plane magnetizations. To study the spin dynamics of the magnetic bubble state, nanodisks with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy must be patterned on a gold waveguide, which would then be fabricated on a high-resistivity silicon wafer. We will fabricate the gold waveguides using photolithography, sputtering, and lift-off techniques. My long-term goal will be to fabricate the waveguide on a gold-film of a high-resistivity silicon wafer that would provide a pulsed magnetic field suitable for time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy imaging.

Today, several financial leaders are meeting with the Senate's banking committee to discuss the $700 billion bailout of Wall Street that is being proposed to congress. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, U.S Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Christopher Cox and the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency James Lockhart are appearing before the committee to lay out their plan and to answer the committee's tough questions.
Led by Sen. Chris Dodd, the committee has taken turns scrutinizing the plan, trying to get a grip on what effect it would have on the economy and taxpayers money. The plan would essentially let financial companies of all sizes take toxic securities off of their books. This would help their balance sheets and relieve the strain on many companies that are struggling to survive. As a result banks should be able to lend more money and possibly loosen up their standards. These experts hope that this will also cause private investors to start pumping money back in to these companies.
The proposed bill is only thee pages long but includes a tremendously large amount of taxpayers money. At this point Paulson and Bernanke have been vague about the specifics. The reason is due to the enormous complexity of these securities. They do stress that this must be done very soon.
A large concern from the committee is that this plan does not include any legislation about helping homeowners facing foreclosure stay in their homes. Paulson and Bernanke believe that this plan will help homeowners, although right now there is no direct legislation indicating this help. In other words, the average homeowner would not directly benefit, but as a trickle down effect since it would help banks free up money to loosen lending practices. This would in turn help to jumpstart our ailing housing market.
Although this plan won't help every problem we have with our financial system, if the plan is passed and works, this will be a fast and great step at helping our economy as a whole get through this tough time.
Stay tuned for future updates on the progress of this proposed bill.

Mailbag 9/
Project reader Valentina Dolpies has a question about one of South Philadelphia's better churches, St. Mary Magdalen de Pazzi.
Hi I would like to know about the Pastor that was there in the 50's.Rev.Mons. Vito Mazzone. I think I may have spelled his last name wrong. I belonged to that parish most of my life. I went to school there when he was pastor and I remember that he wrote some books and they were about communism. I wonder if you know if there is any way to get a hold of any of these books??
Valentina certainly wins the "obscure question of the week" award.
Believe it or not, the Project is not actually a vast repository of church information. When it comes to Roman Catholic churches, that would be the Philadelphia Archdiocesan Historical Research Center (PAHRC). I suggest you start your search there. You can also try directly contacting St. Paul parish, the administrators of St. Mary Magdalen church and the keeper of her spiritual records.
Of course, given that the books in question are not directly related to the parish's history, it's very possible that neither of those sources will be able to help you. That's why I'm going to open it up to the Project's readers.
If any of you are familiar with the parish and these books, or you have any ideas on where Valentina can find them, feel free to chime in, either through the Project's e-mail or the comments feature.
