Author Notes: These cookies are deeply rooted in the Toll House tradition. But, over the years, the recipe has evolved into my own. I've made it thousands of times. I will never stop. —Phyllis Grant
Makes: 24 cookies (2 ounces each)
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 45 min
2 1/8
cups all-purpose flour
teaspoon baking soda
teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2
cups regular semisweet chocolate chips
cup large bittersweet chocolate chips
1 1/2
cups walnuts, finely chopped
cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
cup light or dark brown sugar, tightly packed
cup white sugar
teaspoons vanilla extract
In This Recipe
- Heat oven to 375° F.
- Sift flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Mix together chocolate chips and chopped nuts. Set aside.
- All medium speed unless otherwise noted: In a standing mixer, with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars until well mixed and light. Scrape down the sides. Add one egg. Mix for 5 seconds. Scrape down the sides. Add second egg. Mix for 5 seconds. Scrape down the sides. Add vanilla. Mix for 5 seconds. Scrape down the sides.
- You're going to add the sifted flour mixture in 4 batches, stopping before adding the final batch. For the first 3 batches, mix at low speed just to combine, scraping down the sides between each addition. When you get to the final batch of flour, add the chocolate chip/nut mixture. They will get a bit crushed. That's okay. Mix until there's barely a trace of flour visible. Don't over-mix. Sometimes, it's better to be safe and do the final bit of mixing by hand.
- Set up a sheet pan with a silpat or parchment paper. Bake one tray at a time or they will all cook at different rates. Make them spherical, not flat. The cookie size is up to you. I find the bigger they are, the better ratio you have between gooey interior and crisp exterior. 2 ounces is about right for that.
- Leave a few inches between the raw cookies. Place sheet pan in the oven. They cook very fast at this temp. I never set a timer. I just hang around the oven and drink tea. They're done when they're brown and crispy on the outer border and raw in the very middle (8 to 10 minutes). Remove sheet pan. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then, with a spatula, transfer cookies to a cookie rack to cool. If you're not going to eat them right away, they should be frozen.
- If you're not baking them off right away, portion them out with an ice cream scoop, place them on a sheet pan, and freeze. Once firm, store them in a Ziploc bag. Works great to bake them off when they're frozen.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

By John Graves
On Sunday, Sept. 16, the Pagosah Unitarian Universalist Fellowship service topic will be "On the Road to Healthy Forests," presented by J.R. Ford.
He points out that, "Though sometimes the road we head down looks to be straightforward, life experiences tell us that the road is most likely curvy with bumps."
The ability to handle those bumps and curves led to new innovative ideas and is the attitude that helped J.R. to persevere to get where he is today.
This leads again to the title of Sunday's's presentation, "On the Road to Healthy Forests," which gives us a look at the awarding of the Pagosa Long Term Stewardship Contract and the various start-up companies' utilization of the products within the contract.
This talk strongly relates to the Unitarian Universalist Association's Seventh Principle: "Respect for the interdependent web of all existence, of which we are a part."
Since 1983, J.R. Ford has been involved with the Pagosa Springs community as a building contractor, real estate broker, ranch manager and volunteer. He enjoys all that Pagosa Springs and the region have to offer. He finds it an especially great place to raise a family. From his experiences managing local ranches, the concept to create a company that efficiently thins the overgrown forests arose. He has taken that forest management idea and secured a 10-year stewardship contract, and is now in the process of building a five-megawatt biomass gasification power plant, as well as other start-up companies, including product removal and a sawmill.
The service begins at 10:30 a.m. in the Pagosah Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Hall. The address is Unit B-15, Greenbriar Plaza. Turn east on Greenbriar Drive off of North Pagosa Boulevard by the fire station, then left into the back parking lot and look for the big sign. All are welcome.

Barring another major news event, this week's most important eurozone headlines crossed the wires on Monday when Moody's Investors Service announced France is no longer worthy of the prestigious AAA credit rating. The ratings agency took the eurozone's second-largest economy down one notch to Aa1 with a negative outlook, citing a contracting economy and murky fiscal condition.
Surprisingly, French equities are not being sent to the slaughterhouse today. The iShares MSCI France Index Fund (NYSE:EWQ) is higher by nearly two-thirds of a percent in midday trading. One reason French stocks are holding up despite the downgrade could be valuation.
Continue Reading Below
As iShares Global Chief Investment Strategist Russ Koesterich noted on Monday, France "is offering a 31% discount to the MSCI World Index and a 15 percent discount to Germany".
Of course, there are risks to consider, including the vulnerability of French banks and France's struggles with entitlement and pension spending. With those risks in mind, investors that want some exposure to France without making an "all in" bet as would be required with EWQ should consider the following ETFs.
WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity Fund (NYSE:HEDJ) The WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity Fund is not the ETF with the next largest France exposure after EWQ, but HEDJ does allocate almost 24.3 percent of its weight to the country. As a France play, HEDJ merits consideration because of the fund's restructuring that took place earlier this year.
The new version of HEDJ includes a weight of just 7.9 percent to financials compared to 22 percent in the old version. Perhaps even more importantly is the fact that the new HEDJ now focuses exclusively on Eurzone dividend-paying firms that derive most of their revenue outside of that region. What the new HEDJ boils down is a hedge against a weakening euro with a dividend kicker, two traits that make HEDJ more appealing than a traditional Europe-focused ETF.
WisdomTree International Dividend ex-Financials Fund (NYSE:DOO) As it is HEDJ, France is the second-largest country weight in the WisdomTree International Dividend ex-Financials Fund, this time with an allocation of 14.2 percent. DOO's name gives away why this ETF as a solid idea for France exposure. Assuming that French financials remain embattled, and there is no indication that situation will dramatically change in the near-term, an ETF that includes none of those names makes sense.
What investors sacrifice with DOO is eurozone equity rally lead by bank stocks. In that scenario, DOO will almost certainly lag those ETFs with heavy allocations to the financial services sector. A 30-day SEC yield of 4.73 percent makes taking that chance tolerable.
DOO is worth a look for another reason. Since the ETF focuses on non-U.S. stocks, it could prove to be a winner if the fiscal cliff comes to pass.
SPDR EURO STOXX 50 ETF (NYSE:FEZ) After EWQ, the SPDR EURO STOXX 50 ETF is the ETF with next largest allocation to France at 36.2 percent. Investors should also note Germany accounts for 32 percent of this ETF's weight, so for better or worse, FEZ is not the most diverse eurozone play. Two French stocks Total (NYSE:TOT) and Sanofi (NYSE:SNY) are FEZ's top-two holdings combing for 11 percent of the ETF's weight.
The rub here is that FEZ devotes 24.5 percent of its weight to bank stocks, which is more than double the allocation any other sector receives in the ETF. That means this ETF can be volatile and the statistics support that assertion. FEZ has a beta of 1.41 against the S&P 500 and annualized volatility of almost 27.4 percent, according to State Street data.
Rather than making one concentrated bet on FEZ, investors should consider paring this ETF with HEDJ. In that scenario, exposure to bank stocks is taken care of as is a hedge on the euro.

Should HIV Meds for HIV-Uninfected People Be a Priority? And Other PrEP Questions
By Jeannie Wraight
July 21, 2011
Groundbreaking results of two large pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) studies may lead to a new prevention option to reduce HIV transmission. Data released on two PrEP studies showed high levels of protection against HIV infection when tenofovir (Viread) or Truvada (tenofovir and emtricitabine) were taken daily by HIV-uninfected individuals at high risk for infection.
The Partners PrEP trial, the largest PrEP study to date, was conducted at nine centers in Kenya and Uganda. A total of 4,758 heterosexual couples, in which one partner was HIV infected and the other HIV uninfected, were enrolled. The HIV-uninfected partner was given either tenofovir, Truvada or placebo. The study was stopped a full 18 months before it was scheduled to end due to a demonstrated high rate of protection against HIV.
In the individuals who were given tenofovir, the risk of infection was reduced by 62%. For those receiving Truvada the rate of reduction was 73%. An adherence rate of 97% was seen. There were 78 infections reported in total, 18 in the tenofovir group, 13 in the Truvada group and 47 in the placebo group.
The TDF2 study was conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) along with the Botswana Ministry of Health. A total of 1,200 HIV-uninfected men and women between the ages of 18 and 39 were enrolled in the study at two sites in Botswana. Participants were given either Truvada or placebo.
The primary analysis showed a 62.2% reduction in HIV infections in those who used Truvada. There were nine HIV infections among the 601 participants given Truvada and 24 among those who received placebo. A secondary analysis, which excluded any HIV infection that occurred among participants who stopped taking medication within 30 days of infection, indicated that tenofovir reduced the risk of HIV infection by 78%.
In contrast to these results, a third study, the FEM-PrEP trial, was ended prematurely as researchers could not show a significant benefit. Truvada was used in this study as well. Researchers suggest a lack of adherence may have contributed to poorer results.
It is important to view these new findings with a blast of fiscal and ethical reality. The cost of providing people at risk of HIV infection with PrEP far exceeds current financial capabilities.
In the U.S. alone, over 8,500 HIV-infected people are currently on ADAP waiting lists, awaiting desperately needed antiretrovirals (ARVs). Worldwide, 9 million people are in need of ARVs. The General Assembly of the United Nations' 2011 Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS proposed goal of providing 15 million people with treatment by 2015 (there are currently 6.6 million on treatment), although vital, is ambitious to say the least in the current financial environment.
With so many people living with HIV in need of ARVs, is PrEP, regardless of its effectiveness, a strategy currently worth entertaining on a local or global level? With 7,400 new HIV infections a day, it is prudent to discuss the possible application of all available evidence-based prevention modalities. With two new infections for every person who receives ARVs, as stated by Dr. Robin Shattock of St. George's, University of London, "the successful provision of universal access may be critically dependent on decreasing the number of new infections." However, is allocating much-needed resources for more clinical trials, particularly to provide HIV-uninfected people with ARVs when so many already infected are in desperate need of these life-extending medications, a reasonable debate? Should not all HIV-infected people be offered ARVs before considering the provision of these lifesaving medications to HIV-uninfected individuals?
With many donor countries cutting back or rescinding their commitments to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the prospect of antiretrovirals for all people with HIV is a battle we will seemingly be waging on an ongoing basis as the number of HIV-infected people grows worldwide. Even if PrEP, along with other prevention modalities such as behavioral change, clean needles, PEP, circumcision and microbicides, was a guaranteed means of stopping the spread of HIV, would we be able to afford to implement it?
Another concern regarding the use of PrEP is the direct disregard for the premise on which all medical care is given: "Do no harm." With long-term use of ARVs possibly causing extensive physical damage, as well as daily side effects, can ARVs in the absence of HIV infection be justified by the benefit of possible protection against infection? Since it is still unclear what is caused by the virus itself and what is caused by extended use of ARVs, more long-term trials would be needed to determine whether the damaging effects many on ARVs experience would occur in HIV-uninfected individuals -- thereby further redirecting funding away from studies for HIV-infected people.
In the Partners PrEP study, a 97% adherence rate was seen among participants. With ongoing PrEP, could this adherence be maintained in the wake of persistent side effects and long-term use in HIV-uninfected people? It is likely that a lower rate of protection will be achieved by many, while risky behavior may increase under the guise of protection. Are some individuals then more at risk as their decision-making process on risk is affected by the belief that they are protected by PrEP?
These and other questions are sure to be key topics when discussing the possibility of widespread use of PrEP. For the moment, it is important to keep these pivotal study results in perspective as all options regarding PrEP are evaluated.

Source: DFA news release Paying respect to the contributions its farmer-owners make to the global marketplace, Dairy Farmers of America's (DFA) 15th annual meeting explored the diverse ways the cooperative and dairy industry are preparing for the future. Nearly 1,500 members and guests convened in Kansas City for the event this week. For generations, DFA members have been feeding the nation, and now, as the cooperative expands its footprint in the global marketplace, the world. During the meeting, speakers discussed how DFA and the industry are strengthening their position in the global marketplace to create a stronger and more innovative cooperative for generations to come. "As a national milk marketing cooperative, DFA is delivering its members' high-quality milk around the globe through dairy ingredients, its own branded products and those of its customers," said Randy Mooney, chairman of DFA's board of directors. "From this land, we are all making a difference. Members are producing nature's most perfect food. From our plants and our customers' plants, that milk is being processed into cheese, butter, ice cream, yogurt, ingredients and more. Through that process, we are feeding the world." The meeting kicked off with the chairman's report, delivered by Mooney, who operates a dairy in Rogersville, Mo. He focused on the steps DFA has taken to seize opportunities in the global marketplace, as well as its strategy to capture these prospects in the future. Mooney also discussed issues, such as animal activism, that are affecting farmers every day at home. An overview of DFA's business was delivered by president and chief executive officer Rick Smith. His report also explored how the cooperative has evolved during the past several years and highlighted ongoing efforts to better serve and provide value to its members. "As a dairy farmer-owned cooperative, our mission is to bring value to members," Smith said. "One way to do this is to participate in value-added opportunities for dairy, both domestically and globally. This supports our goal and obligation to help feed people around the world, and meet the unmet demand for healthy and nutritious dairy products worldwide." Special guests and additional highlights of the meeting program included: • A panel discussion, "World of Opportunity," featuring Tom Suber, president, U.S. Dairy Export Council; Jay Waldvogel, senior vice president of strategy and international development, DFA; and Larry Jensen, president, Leprino Foods; • "Feeding 9 Billion People — Maintaining the Planet," a presentation by Jason Clay, senior vice president of market transformation, World Wildlife Fund; • An update on National Milk Producers Federation's work for the dairy industry by Jerry Kozak, president and chief executive officer; • An overview of the latest dairy promotion activities by Tom Gallagher, chief executive officer of Dairy Management Inc. DFA's annual banquet brought a host of recognitions, including the 2013 Members of Distinction — one member farm from each of DFA's seven regional areas that is excelling on their operations, in their communities and in the industry. The 2013 Members of Distinction are: Krause Holsteins Inc., Buffalo, Minn.; Ayers Farms, Perrysville, Ohio; J.R. Hall Farms, Rigby, Idaho; Piper Farm LLC, Embden, Maine; Huffard Dairy Farms, Crockett, Va.; Bentwood Dairy, Waco, Texas; and Van Warmerdam Dairy, Galt, Calif. In addition, outgoing board directors were recognized for their contributions to DFA. They are Mickey Childers, Somerville, Ala., Southeast Area; Larry Frederick, Baring, Mo., Central Area; Lew Gardner, Galeton, Pa., Northeast Area; Les Hardesty, Greeley, Colo., Mountain Area; Pete Mensonides, Turlock, Calif., Western Area; Ellis Roberts, Preston, Idaho, Mountain Area; and Rob Wonderlich, Ollie, Iowa, Central Area. Winners of the 2013 DFA Cares Foundation Scholarship were announced at the banquet. Scholarships are awarded to outstanding students pursuing a career in the dairy industry. This year's 29 recipients will receive a combined total of $28,000 toward their undergraduate and graduate level studies. Also at the banquet, guests learned about the new Be More Employee Recognition Program, which encourages employees to demonstrate DFA's core values and reinforce the meaning of "More Cooperative." The inaugural group of 11 Be More Award winners was honored among their peers and the Cooperative's farmer leadership. Each year the Annual Meeting concludes with the Resolutions process, which brings together 250 elected delegates from across the nation to vote on a slate of issues that guide DFA's policy position and business activities for the coming year. DFA is a national dairy marketing cooperative that serves and is owned by more than 13,000 members on more than 8,000 farms in 48 states. DFA also is one of the country's most diversified manufacturers of dairy products, food components and ingredients, and is a leader in formulating and packaging shelf-stable dairy products.

On Saturday my friend & I went to Chilford Quilting show it is in Cambridgeshire
I put in the postcode to the Sat-Nav & off we went it took us a different route to what I was expecting which was nice as we went through small villages & towns & around the outskirts of Cambridge but it took much longer than expected so was a bit later than expected getting there.
The show well not that many bargains there I did get myself a new cutting mat was told it should have been £59.99 & was down to £29.99 this is a 35" x 23" I know I could have got one cheaper even one from them but the thickness of this is I would say double to what the others was & even the one I have so am pleased with it
one side is in Inches & the other in Centimetres so both sides will be able to be used but I do tend to work in Inches rather than Cm
I also got some fabric which wasn't any cheaper really but it was the colour as I been looking for a colour for ages this is the nearest I have got the fabric is a sort of marble effect not taken a photo of it, I also picked up some Insul-Bright Wadding for some placemats I want to do it the wider one 44" not the 27" so a metre of that came home with me.
My friend who came with me well she spent much more than me with getting a FQ pack for a quilt she wants to do plus some other bits but her big purchase was a Horn Cabinet she don't have any room to sew so this will be great for her am so pleased she been wanting one for ages.
On the start of the journey back I thought I would set the Sat-Nav to fastest route so done that & it would have got us on motorway & A roads but guess what part of the route was shut due to roadworks so had to do a detour which took us similar way to what we came for part of the journey but because of this there was traffic jams or slow moving traffic so took even longer to get home than going so much for the fastest route.
To finish if you like to see some of the quilts that was at the show here is a link to my Chilford Photo Album the quilts are very nice but will say a lot are way too Arty for me I like quilts that you would use on a bed not just for show or walls but that takes nothing away from the makers they are very talented & would love to be able to be that talented.

Philips shares slump over weak 1st-quarter profits
AMSTERDAM (AP) — Shares in Royal Philips, the world's leading light maker, slumped Tuesday after the Dutch company reported a drop in first-quarter profits blamed partly on sluggish sales of its health care products and consumer lights.
Philips said its net profit for the January-March period was 138 million euros ($190.5 million), 14 percent lower than for the same quarter of 2013. Sales fell 4.8 percent to 5.02 billion euros ($6.9 billion).
The Amsterdam-based company said profit margins worsened partly because of paying laid-off workers. The company cut about 3,800 jobs over the past year and now employs 114,300.
Chief executive Frans van Houten cited negative "market headwinds" in Russia and China, and said the euro currency's strength also hurt the bottom line.
Van Houten forecast a "challenging year" ahead.
Philips shares fell 6.7 percent to 23.27 euros ($32.15) in midday trading.
Among its major divisions, Philips said lighting sales were flat, health care equipment and services revenues declined 2 percent, and sales of consumer appliances such as shavers and coffee makers rose 7 percent.
Philips' lighting division has shifted production to LED and energy-saving bulbs that last longer but are pricier per light. Revenues from the sale of LED lights surged 37 percent versus the first quarter of 2013, and now represent a third of the company's lighting sales. However, overall lighting sales were flat as sales fell for other types of lights, notably incandescent bulbs.
Chief financial officer Ron Wirahadiraksa told analysts the decline in consumer purchases was led by Western Europe "where, with few exceptions, the market continues to be sluggish."
Philips has been selling do-it-yourself kits for home enthusiasts who wish to control their home lighting systems over a network, a potential area of growth.
The performance of Philips' health care division also was mixed. Sales of high-end imaging equipment declined, while sales of systems for networking patient monitoring grew strongly.
Analysts at Killik & Co said the results reflected "weaker performances in the lighting and health care businesses than forecast, and weak performances in Western Europe and North America."

Is 'Once Upon A Time' Adding Captain Jack Sparrow?
Part of the appeal of ABC's fairytale drama 'Once Upon A Time' lies in its inclusion of multiple fairytale characters, from Disney to Grimm, all in one story. The second season alone has featured the introductions of Mulan, Captain Hook and Lancelot, with the potential for others such as the Aladdin characters going forward, but what, if any characters are out of bounds? Could the series manage to include even recent Disney creations, like 'Pirates of the Caribbean's' Jack Sparrow?
'Once Upon A Time' manages to stay unique while incorporating a wealth of fairytale characters, from both Disney and classic literature alike, but are their limits to the character selection? Entertainment Weekly recently had the opportunity to run a number of classic characters by showrunners Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz to see if their inclusions were possible, perhaps most surprising of all is that of legendary 'Pirates of the Caribbean' swashbuckler, Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow!
While Kitsis expressed that "We loved ['Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl'] so much," even he had to question "unless we get Johnny Depp, how could we do Jack Sparrow?" Horowitz expressed a similar sentiment, though Kitsis was quick to offer up that if "Johnny Depp [wants to appear on] 'Once Upon a Time,' then we will write Jack Sparrow all day!"
Of course, plenty of other famous names are ripe for the picking, whether or not 'Once Upon A Time' includes them anytime soon. EW confirmed to be in-bounds everyone from Robin Hood, to Tarzan, to 'Little Mermaid' Ariel, even suggesting Tron and Mary Poppins as future possibilities. Less likely, however, are characters of the more historical variety, like Genghis Khan, Achilles or Sherlock Holmes.
For even more potential names, check out the article above, and tell us what fable characters you'd like to see included on 'Once Upon A Time' in the future!

Effective Affordable Plan of Action to Increase Your Wealth, Following a Well Known Real Estate Strategy.
Acquiring Assets You Can Own, Touch, Rent and Sell with Profits
As George Soros stated: "I think this move is the single best way for the average person to get rich today. And the best way to learn to do it right is by following Justin Ford, I refer to him 'my secret weapon..."
Many think Real Estate investment is not for them. "I don't have money", they say. "It's not for me, I know nothing about real estate", others comment
Real Estate investors, a reduce group of rich men, know a little secret: You don't need to have money to buy property.
A bank will never lend you $ 10.000 to buy Apple stock, but, and we know they do, they will lend you $ 400.000 or more to invest in a Real Estate. And they will use the property you are buying to secure the loan. We teach you to leverage on this situation, building a chain sets of properties. Buying them, collecting rent, and buying more.
"The best investment on earth is earth." - Louis J. Glickman, Real estate investor
In 1919, 33-year-old Conrad Hilton took his $5,000 life savings to Texas to make his fortune.
The great Spindletop oil discovery had been made 18 years earlier. During World War I, the Ranger fields gushed out $200 million in two years. And now, it seemed new finds were being made every day. Oil was pouring out of the earth, and towns like Cisco were overflowing with roughnecks and would-be oil barons.
But "Connie" Hilton wasn't about to prospect for oil. Just as the sure money had been made in California 70 years earlier - not by panning for gold, but by selling shovels to the miners - Connie was going to sell prospectors something they desperately needed: money.
He was going to be a banker. But a funny thing happened on his way to becoming a banker - he couldn't find a room for the night...
My Kingdom for a Bed
After unsuccessfully making an offer on a bank just hours after arriving in town, Connie headed to the Mobley Hotel to get some rest and regroup. The Mobley was nothing more than a flophouse, but every seat in the lobby was taken, men were milling around the clerk's desk, and every room in the joint was booked. To add insult to fatigue, an old timer started shooing people out of the lobby, saying they didn't allow "loitering!" Connie got hot under the collar. But before he could reply, the old man shouted, "Come back in eight hours when we turn this lot loose!"
"You mean you let 'em sleep eight hours and then get a complete turnover?" Connie asked the old man.
"That's the idea. Three times every twenty-four hours, day in and day out. They'd pay to sleep on the tables in the restaurant if I'd let 'em." Conrad Hilton made a $50,000 offer to the owner right on the spot. He then scrambled to put together partners and financing... and Hilton Hotels was born.
From Flophouse to Riches
Hilton didn't build his first "grand" hotel under his own name until a few years later in Dallas. But it was the Mobley and a series of other boarding houses that made his initial fortune. And the same fundamental techniques and principles he used to build that fortune apply whether you're buying your first condo, coop, single family home, duplex, triplex, or even mobile home.
That's what we're going to focus on in the C.A.P. Strategy. With this service, you'll learn how to use value-focused, risk-averse principles and strategies to help steadily build wealth in real estate. As you'll see, buying even a single home is one of the best - most lucrative - investments you can make...
Real estate is a cash flow business. You finance your investments, so you need cash coming in from your investment to pay the carrying cost of your investment as you go.
Unlike stocks and bonds, you don't pay cash all at once. Not if you want to get rich in real estate.
If you're already rich, you can buy the right properties for cash, make a solid annual yield of 10% or more, and perhaps annual appreciation on top of that.
But if you want to double or even triple your money every few years, you need to finance your property investments. And that's not just poor folks who do it. The richest of the rich do it.
Donald Trump didn't start out with nothing. His father Fred had made millions investing in apartment buildings in Queens and Brooklyn, NY. But "The Donald" turned those millions into billions when he began investing in Manhattan - still using "OPM," other people's money. "Real estate is a cash flow business. You need cash coming in from your investment to pay the carrying cost of your investment as you go." One building he bought, for instance, was 40 Wall Street. He paid $1 million for it early in his career - before anyone knew his name. And he borrowed most of that. Today, that building alone is worth over $200 million, and "The Donald" is a billionaire.
Good for Donald. But what if you're just starting out? Can you use the power of leverage to build a fortune? More than a few have, starting from little or no savings...
Donald Bren, for instance, is a former Marine who bought his first house in 1958 with a $10,000 loan. He built on that success to become the largest landowner in Orange County, California. His personal fortune today is estimated at $4 billion!
Jim Clayton grew up picking cotton on his father's farm. Before the age of 20, he bought his first property - a used car lot. Then he moved on to mobile home lots. Today, Forbes says this "mobile home king" is worth $620 million.
Thomas Flatly came off the boat from Ireland with nothing but a will to work. Soon, he went to work building apartment houses, offices, and hotels throughout New England. Today, he's worth $1.2 billion.
When George Argyros got his real estate license, instead of just making commissions, he started making deals. He began buying and selling lots at busy intersections. Today, he's worth $930 million...
Alexander Spanos was a college dropout making $40 a week in his father's bakery when he discovered real estate. Soon, he gave up baker's dough for real dough, investing in motels and apartments. Today, he owns 3,700 units. His net worth is $850 million.
Alfred Taubman was another college dropout. He took out a $5,000 loan for his first real estate deal. Today, his shopping center empire has given him a personal net worth of $700 million.
After flying combat missions in WWII, Marvin "Buzz" Oates returned to the U.S. with $2,000 in savings. He put it to work in real estate. Today, his "savings" amount to $800 million.
All these investors were able to build sizable fortunes starting with little or no money of their own. They did that because they learned how to identify value and then find "investors" for their properties.
Those investors could come in the form of banks who lend you money for your properties, private lenders or equity partners, or even the seller - who lends you some or all of the money to buy his property (called "seller financing").
I'll cover all these techniques and more in The C.A.P. Strategy. And I'll always focus on minimizing risk as well as spotting opportunities. That's very important because I fully believe that when you focus on the downside, the upside will take care of itself.

After the passing of Amendment 64 more than a year ago, Nederland's Club Ned is set to be the only cannabis cafe — a private club where members can go to smoke marijuana — in Boulder County when it opens sometime in the next few weeks.
Cheryl Fanelli and her husband, David, who have lived in Nederland for 25 years, are set to open Club Ned at 154 Highway 72 after a 14-month battle to get approval from the town of Nederland and comply with state laws.
"It's awesome, it's really awesome," Cheryl Fanelli said. "It's been tough, but we've had the overwhelming support of the town, and without that it never would have gone through. The town deserves thanks for pushing it through."
While Amendment 64 made the purchase of recreational marijuana legal, smoking pot in public and shops is still illegal. So Fanelli said she wanted to open a place where people could gather together to toke while enjoying each other's company.
"People like to socialize, people like to get together," Fanelli said. "It's the reason bars are in existence. It's way cheaper to drink at home, but humans are sociable creatures."
But opening such a place for marijuana posed a number of issues. Club Ned's attorney Jeff Gard, who works with several local marijuana businesses, said the major hurdle was the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act, which does not allow indoor smoking of any sort in most buildings.
Gard said the solution was inspired by a Veterans of Foreign Wars post where he saw veterans smoking indoors.
"I just woke up in the middle of the night and figured out how to do it," Gard said.
In order to allow smoking indoors, Club Ned had to become a private club with various restrictions. The Fanellis could only hire a small number of workers, had to make a certain percentage of their revenue from membership dues, and the business needed to be BYOC — bring your own cannabis.
But Nederland's zoning did not allow for private clubs in Club Ned's zone, so the Fanelli's had to get the town of Nederland to change its zoning rules.
But Nederland Mayor Joe Gierlach said the town's zoning needed an update anyway, so the zoning changes were made to allow Club Ned to operate a private club.
"We needed to update our code for clubs in general, whether it's the Lion's Club or Club Ned," Gierlach said. We just wanted to update our code so that we had something to address this type of building use... I think we developed a pretty solid policy which makes sense for Nederland."
Gard said while there was a small group that opposed the zoning changes, most supported the club.
"It was a landslide in terms of popular opinion," Gard said.
Gard said with the legalization of recreational marijuana, the town needed a place where people could smoke it.
"The idea is if you don't provide somebody a place to go, people are just walking around smoking pot," Gard said. "So for the town it was kind of a no-brainer. You don't want people on Main Street in Nederland smoking weed, or going into the woods and burning the forest down."
Added Gierlach, "It just provides more options for people. Overall our goal is to comply with Amendment 64, which says to treat marijuana like alcohol."
Fanelli said she also wanted to open the club to show people a business could involve marijuana and comply with the state and all local guidelines.
"We are complying with everything, absolutely everything," she said. "There is so much stigma attached, we want to take the stigma away. So we wanted to be over-the-top respectable."
Club Ned is not the first attempt at a cannabis club in Boulder County. The Hive Co-Op, billed as Colorado's first cannabis-friendly coffee and tea shop, was opened in Lafayette in January 2013 but was shut down just a month later when the city passed a temporary moratorium on marijuana.
Gard said while there are some places that bill themselves as cannabis clubs in Denver, Club Ned is the first he knows of that has the expressed approval of the local government. He believes that as the recreational marijuana industry grows, more places like Club Ned will begin to pop up.
"If people follow a responsible model, do it as a labor of love, small-scale business, then anybody can do this anywhere as long as the zoning provides for private clubs," Gard said.
For Fanelli, she is just happy their 14 months of meetings and work finally paid off.
"I knew we'd win, but it's awesome," she said. "We persevered, we didn't give up. However we had to do it, however we had to make it work, whatever we had to do to follow the laws, we were going to make it work.
"This was something that we felt like we really needed to do."

Rothko Mural Vandal Says He Made It More Valuable
(LONDON) -- A man who claims he defaced a mural by Mark Rothko in London's Tate Modern museum told ABC News Monday that by scrawling his name on the artwork with a black marker he has made it more valuable.
The mural, one of Rothko's Seagram series, was marred Sunday when someone wrote "Vladimir Umanets 12" and "a potential piece of yellowism" in drippy black ink. The museum was closed temporarily on Sunday and police are investigating, museum spokeswoman Jeanette Ward said.
In a conversation that switched at times from English to Russian to Polish, the man who claimed to be Umanets said, "I am not a vandal or some frustrated man. I did not destroy this picture. I did not steal anything."
"I really believe that eventually, this canvas, with my signature will have a higher value than Rothko's other paintings. Not immediately, but in several years," he said.
Umanets said that he chose the Rothko work after considering defacing others by Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock and Marcel Duchamp.
"I went into the Tate with a permanent black marker to inscribe a painting that I personally like the most. After looking at all of his paintings, I realized I like 'Black on Maroon' the best," he said.
He said no one tried to stop him.
"I did it in front of many visitors. Then I put the lid on the marker, looked at the painting again, and normally left the room. There was security and videocameras. I was surprised no attendants stopped me from leaving," Umanets told ABC News.
London police are searching for whoever attacked the mural, and Umanets said that he is aware that he could be arrested.
"I know what the legal consequences are, but I do not think I committed a crime. On the contrary, I would not like to end up in jail," he said.
Umanets and a person named Marcin Lodyga has advocated a visual movement called "yellowism," which he described by saying, "Yellowism is neither art nor anti-art. It is a resignation of art."
"I did not do this to become rich or famous. I did it because of yellowism," he said. "I would love it to become a part of yellowism."
During the interview Umanets declined to give his age, nationality or his location.

...it will almost certainly be the Memphis Grizzlies "Camo Night," being held tonight in conjunction with the Grizzlies vs. Bucks (and I bet that's not a coincidence) game tonight at the FedEx Forum. Fishermen and hunters of any animal (including little Mexican girls) are encouraged to attend the game and get some free stuff.
Deer hunting season is underway, and the Grizzlies will have their shots aimed at the Milwaukee Bucks when they visit FedExForum on Dec. 27 at 7 p.m. for 'Camo Night'. Join the Grizzlies in celebrating the Mid-South's enthusiasm for hunting, fishing and the great outdoors while also saving a Buck or two.
All you need to do is show up wearing camouflage, present a valid hunting or fishing license from any state, or bring a hunting decoy or fishing lure. And if you aren't a hunter, you can join in the fun by donating a stuffed animal, which will either be given to a Children's Hospital, or used for target practice by one of the many fans in attendance who traveled to the game with a gun strapped to the top of their vehicle.
It should be quite an experience for the athletes of the NBA to be surrounded by tens of thousands of people form whom it is actually socially acceptable to own guns.

DAR Proof of Service Troubles
Here is my dilemma:
For Moses Jackman, he appears in several published works (some sourced but none of them with sources on Moses' service) and he appears in DAR's Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots. I've even seen a recent picture of his grave and there is, what looks like, a DAR decoration near the headstone. Moses isn't in the Patriot index on DAR's website so that is no help. There are several service records for a Moses Jackman and none overlap which makes me think they are for the same person, these service records also match up with what was written about him in those unsourced published works. But none of this is proof of his service. All any of it is is a collection of service records which might be connected, a bunch of unsourced books and an index of graves that DAR admits isn't reliable. But there is one other thing, Moses signed a document throwing his support behind the Patriots. I know it is him, he was the only one of his name in that place at that time, but is that enough to connect this proof of service to Moses? I highly doubt it. And, if he applied for a pension he didn't get it because I've never been able to find one.
Next up it is Anne Coles Mott. Her service during the war is mentioned in every biography of hers (and there are a lot of them) and it is legendary in my family. She is even rumored to have received a quilt from the grateful Patriots she nursed (though I've never seen it). Since she didn't serve in a military capacity, I don't even know where to begin looking for her proof of service. In affidavits or letters written but soldiers treated by her? But where would you find any of those...
Oh, and to make matters even more fun, neither of these two are already in DAR's listings of approved Patriots. Sheesh, I hate it when people won't cooperate with me- especially when they've been dead two hundred years.
If anyone has any experience with DAR or ideas on where to look for proof of service for these two problem

So a gang of muslim cowards hiding behind their semi-automatic weapons kills twelve innocent people in an office and runs away. This was somehow excused by the victims' 'crime' of depicting and ridiculing someone elses's non-existent prophet. Few people recognise that nothing was written about Muhammed until about 200 years after he is supposed to have lived. This makes his historical existence even less convincing than that for Jesus!
What's more, in what civilised part of the world does non-violent satire excuse a violent response?
On the day after the shootings, BBC Radio 4 interviewed the 'islamic scholar' from Oxford, Tariq Ramadan. I have heard him speak live and been amazed (and almost impressed) at how he twists sentences to convey a message that both Muslims and infidels are meant to think is wise and more-to-the-point 'harmless'. This time takes the biscuit. OK, he gently condemned the violence in Paris, but within a minute or two he was claiming that we should all feel responsible for what has happened. Our government's involvement in Iraq - in his mind at least - has something to do with the cowards killing the journalists.
Call me naive if you like, but I thought the shootings were about the magazine being satirical and about the way the 'religion of permanent offence' chooses to try to dictate what free people in free countries are allowed to say about imaginary beings. It was about islamic intolerance of the principles behind human rights and human dignity
Ramadan went on to claim that we're "all on the same side".
Let me assure you, Professor Ramadan, that I feel no responsibility for what has been done this month, and that I am on the same side as you on absolutely nothing of any consequence at all. You can't excuse the violence in Paris. They were islamic thugs behaving inexcusably by any objective standard.

Now that a game has been decided by what most if not all non-Seahawks fans regard as a very bad call on the final play, the question becomes whether there's a procedure in place for the Packers to seek relief from the league office.
And now we know there isn't.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello tells PFT that there's no appeal process. And thus there's no way to change the outcome of the game.
So it goes in to the books as Seahawks 14, Packers 12. And when the Packers lose out on a bye or lose their division or lose a playoff berth altogether because of the outcome of one September game, Packers fans can fashion a large asterisk out of cheese and apply it to the entire 2012 season.

|Mithrandir, 4 months old, loves being with us
Unlike dogs, who have a hierarchal social structure, cats have social reflexes which operate reciprocatively. In other words, cats treat others exactly how they have been treated.
If we act like we care that our cat's needs are met, if we act like we want our cats to see us as friends, if we respond as though our cat's feeling have meaning to us... our cat will get the picture.
They will figure out that we do love them.
In my experience, this is unique in the pet kingdom. Other animals will understand that our commitment to our experience is in proportion to what they bring to the experience. Other humans might lag behind in that understanding this transaction. But, nonetheless, cats realize that our care equals our caring.
When we are able to successfully convey to our cats that we care about their welfare, they will be able to understand and reciprocate.
For help with connection with our cats, see Cat Affection Move: The Love Blanket.

Cognitive Psychology: Attention · Decision making · Learning · Judgement · Memory · Motivation · Perception · Reasoning · Thinking - Cognitive processes Cognition - Outline Index
The Yerkes-Dodson law demonstrates an empirical relationship between arousal and performance. It dictates that performance increases with cognitive arousal but only to a certain point: when levels of arousal become too high, performance will decrease. A corollary is that there is an optimal level of arousal for a given task.
It is a scientific principle developed by psychologists Robert M. Yerkes and J. D. Dodson in 1908 and is grounded within the discourses of biopsychology and neuroscience.
The process is often demonstrated graphically as an inverted U-shaped curve, increasing and then decreasing with higher levels of arousal.
Levels of arousalEdit
Research has found that different tasks require different levels of arousal for optimal performance. For example, difficult or intellectually demanding tasks may require a lower level of arousal (to facilitate concentration), whereas tasks demanding stamina or persistence may be performed better with higher levels of arousal (to increase motivation).
Because of task differences, the shape of the curve can be highly variable.[1] For simple or well-learned tasks, the relationship can be considered linear with improvements in performance as arousal increases. For complex, unfamiliar, or difficult tasks, the relationship between arousal and performance becomes inverse, with declines in performance as arousal increases.
The effect of task difficulty led to the hypothesis that the Yerkes–Dodson Law can be decomposed into two distinct factors as in a bathtub curve. The upward part of the inverted U can be thought of as the energizing effect of arousal. The downward part is caused by negative effects of arousal (or stress) on cognitive processes like attention (e.g., "tunnel vision"), memory, and problem-solving.
There has been research indicating that the correlation suggested by Yerkes and Dodson exists (such as that of Broadhurst, 1959; Duffy, 1962; Anderson, 1988), but a cause of the correlation has not yet successfully been established (Anderson, Revelle, & Lynch, 1989).[2]
Relationship to glucocorticoidsEdit
A 2007 review of the effects of stress hormones (glucocorticoids, GC) and human cognition revealed that memory performance vs. circulating levels of glucocorticoids does manifest an upside down U shaped curve and the authors noted the resemblance to the Yerkes–Dodson curve. For example, long-term potentiation (the process of forming long-term memories) is optimal when glucocorticoid levels are mildly elevated whereas significant decreases of LTP are observed after adrenalectomy (low GC state) or after exogenous glucocorticoid administration (high GC state).
This review also revealed that in order for a situation to induce a stress response, it has to be interpreted as:
- novel, and/or
- unpredictable, and/or
- not controllable by the individual, and/or
- a social evaluative threat (negative social evaluation possibly leading to social rejection).
It has also been shown that elevated levels of glucocorticoids enhance memory for emotionally arousing events but lead more often than not to poor memory for material unrelated to the source of stress/emotional arousal.[3]
