The deficit for fiscal 2008, which ended Sept. 30, was a record $455 billion, the White House announced Tuesday. The director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office recently said the 2009 deficit could hit $750 billion, given the impact of the expected recession and financial market problems. Some private analysts put it at $1 trillion.
While Obama and McCain have suggested in general terms that they may have to adjust their spending and tax cut plans, they've offered few specifics. Instead, they continue to promote what they see as the most popular — and often costly — parts of their programs.
Obama, for instance, continues to run ads promoting his plan to cut taxes for 95 percent of America's wage earners. The Democratic nominee would raise income taxes for individuals earning more than $200,000 and families making more than $250,000.
He would also provide a "Making Work Pay" tax credit of $500 per person and $1,000 per working family.The price tag to the Treasury — according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center run by the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute — could be $2.9 trillion over 10 years.
McCain would retain all of the tax cuts from the Bush era rather than let them expire in 2011, as they're currently scheduled to do. That would cost the Treasury $4.2 trillion over 10 years, the Tax Policy Center said.
McCain maintains he can still balance the budget by 2013, and Obama vows he won't increase the deficit. But it's impossible to find an independent analyst who shares their optimism.
"You can't say either candidate is coming up with a credible plan," MacGuineas said.
As a result, said Alice Rivlin, a Democrat and former Federal Reserve Board vice chairman: "We could in a worst case get to a trillion dollar deficit."
Both candidates promise to cut spending overall, while differing sharply on details, and to reduce the national debt, which hit $10 trillion recently. In the last year alone, the debt has been growing by an average of $3.15 billion per day, leaving each citizen with an average share of more than $33,000.
But neither candidate's plan is likely to significantly reduce the deficit, independent analysts said.
US Budget Watch, a nonprofit study group, found that in 2013, McCain's spending cuts would save $241 billion to $254 billion, hardly enough to offset his tax cuts and health care initiatives.
Obama's spending cuts would save $144 billion, Budget Watch said, far below what he would spend on his tax cuts and health-care programs.
"I don't think they're addressing the deficit in a serious way," said Robert Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, a bipartisan research group dedicated to fiscal stability.
McCain likes to promote elimination of earmarks, or special projects inserted into spending bills by members of Congress to meet local needs, as an important way to achieve fiscal discipline. But earmarks cost only $18 billion last year — far less than 1 percent of the federal budget.
To cut spending, McCain has said, "we need to examine every agency of government." He wants to eliminate ethanol subsidies, for example. He proposes a one-year "spending pause" that would freeze all discretionary spending except for defense, veterans and a few other unspecified "vital" programs.
His program, he says, also would require bipartisan efforts to stop "the recent spending binge" and "successful reform" of large-scale programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
Obama promises to enforce pay-as-you-go budget rules that would require Congress to offset any new spending by increasing taxes or cutting other programs. And he wants to make sure that all federal contracts over $25,000 are subject to competitive bids.
Still, Obama proposes extensive new spending on health care, energy development, infrastructure repair and more, and he's made clear that those costly projects are higher priorities for him than reducing federal deficits.
Obama has said there are "a range of things that are probably going to be delayed" because of the impact of the financial crisis, but that he won't get specific until he sees how much tax revenues decline as a result of the slowing economy.
Some analysts say the new president will be forced to take bolder steps. One motivator could be the staggering size of future deficits, particularly as Social Security payments begin to exceed revenues in 2017 and as Medicare becomes insolvent in 2019.
"The long-term deficit problem is becoming a short-run budget problem very rapidly," said Rudolph Penner, senior fellow at the Urban Institute and a former CBO director.
The new president could also be prodded by the growing deficit threat's similarity to the financial industry's meltdown. Like the financial industry, said Walker, the government is involved in "too much leveraging, not enough focus on cash flow," and a watchdog system, in this case Congress, that's been woefully inadequate.
"If there is a silver lining to the Wall Street meltdown, it's that it could provide an object lesson in what should not happen," said Bixby of the Concord Coalition.
As a result, Leon Panetta, former budget director and chief of staff in the Clinton White House, recommended delaying or abandoning a lot of campaign promises.
"The American people are not stupid," he said. "The real question is whether the leadership of this country will have the honesty to tell people what the real situation is."
MacGuineas saw some hope. "A lot of members of Congress are ready to work together," she said. "They're tired of not being able to do the job."
Should the economy continue to stagger, there will be enormous pressure to give it a quick jolt.
Rivlin, the former Federal vice chairman, thought what's needed quickly is an economic-stimulus plan. Obama has made a $175 billion two-year plan a centerpiece of his campaign. He would use the money to help create infrastructure jobs, extend unemployment benefits and help households with their winter heating bills.
But handing out another stimulus could stifle efforts to make the harder choices that skeptics think are needed.
"It satisfies political needs rather than economic needs," said Panetta, now a professor of politics at Santa Clara University. "And there's always this need to look like you're doing something."
"Deficit reduction is about pain," said Brian Riedl, senior policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative research group in Washington. "Those running for office really don't want to discuss those things."


I recently reviewed the Victorinox Cadet. This is a time honored knife, but frankly I was unsure whether many people would be interested in reading a review on it. The feedback was actually really good. So much so that it has encouraged me to write a review on another classic slip joint in my collection, the Case Sod Buster Jr.
I got into the Sod Buster Jr after realizing how much I enjoyed carrying the Cadet, and wanted to venture further into the world of traditional slip joint knives. I've been into modern EDC and Tactical knives for 5 years now, but really know very little about traditional slip joints. So when I knew that I wanted to try another slip joint out it wasn't long before I stumbled across the Sod Buster Jr. Three things really drew me to this knife: 1. It's made in the USA 2. It's under $25 and 3. it features a nice carbon steel blade (although you can get the knife in stainless steel if you want). Throw in the fact that it's made by Case, a company that I know has a serious pedigree in the world of traditional American knives, and I figured it was a great starting point.
I have to say though, I'm not much of a historian. If you are looking for a definitive history of the sod buster pattern then this won't be the place for it. My understanding is that the pattern or style of knife is anywhere from 100-130 years old, and emerged from Germany as a kind of a folding butcher's knife or a clasp knife. It can be loosely classified as a type of peasant or farmer's knife. Case apparently associated the name "sodbuster" with their knife design in the 1960s. If any historians want to correct me or drop some knowledge in the comments section, by all means be my guest. I'll be approaching the knife purely from a utilitarian/general knife enthusiast's standpoint.
The Sod Buster Jr has an overall length of 6.45″, sports a 2.8″ blade, and weighs 2.19 ounces. For a mild mannered suburbanite these are great numbers. Much like my trusty Cadet, I can easily slip this knife into a pair of slacks and not miss a beat. Of course if you are looking for something a little larger, Case does offer the full size Sod Buster, and it could easily be carried as well.
The blade is a classic drop point design with a short belly and tough tip. The knife was designed to be used as a utility blade, and it certainly functions that way in the 21st century. The grind is a full flat grind, or something close to it, and it gets nice and thin behind the edge. It is a tool knife and it cuts quite well.
Case actually offers the knife with 2 distinct steel choices. You have their "TrueSharp Surgical Stainless Steel" and their Chrome Vandium (CV) high carbon steel. I opted for the high carbon steel version as the thought of a pocket knife with a carbon steel blade was intriguing (and, believe it or not, is actually a first for this website), and what little preliminary research I did do before buying the knife suggested that the CV steel superior to the TrueSharp stainles steel in the arenas of sharpening and edge retention. Whether that is true in practice is impossible for me to say at this point, but I did notice a good deal of info floating about the web comparing CV to TrueSharp, if that sort of question tickles your fancy.
In practice the CV steel exhibited a lot of the qualities I like about carbon steel. It was easy to sharpen and it held a decent edge. It's not a super steel in the edge retention department, but for my purposes it got the job done. I will say that the CV steel does patina (and will rust if you aren't careful). The knife arrives from Case with something of a mirror polish to it. My blade started to get some color after cutting up an apple, and I actually noticed a couple little spots of rust forming on my knife when I left it in a drawer for a few weeks (without oiling it first). At that point it wasn't the nicest knife to photograph so I tried my hand at forcing a patina with some mustard. My results were interesting. The knife definitely darkened and I think it looks pretty cool. It would be even nicer to "earn" that patina over decades of use, but I guess there is still plenty of time for that. At the end of the day for a $20 slip joint the performance of the blade and steel definitely surpassed my expectations. This is a nice little cutter and you will have a hard time finding much else that will exceed it's performance given the price tag.
My Sod Buster Jr came with yellow synthetic handles. They offer the knife with black plastic handles, but there is a bunch of writing on the blade, and that didn't appeal to me. The synthetic yellow material is actually quite dense and has a quality feel to it. The yellow has some old school charm to it, almost as if it were made of bone or ivory, and I enjoy that aspect of it. The handle is of pinned construction with brass pins and pivot and brass liners. The backspacer / spring is stainless steel.
Ergonomically, the chunky yellow scales fill the hand nicely and there is just enough room for a 4 finger grip (with large hands). There is no jimping or texturing anywhere on the knife. I wouldn't call the handle slick, but it's not a traction machine either. I was able to comfortably accomplish normal EDC tasks including opening my mail, cutting up fruit, and breaking down boxes. If I had a rocking chair I could easily spend an afternoon whittling on the porch with a corn cob pipe and a fat slug of whiskey.
This also isn't a bad time to point out that the blade centering on this $25 knife is dead nuts center.
For your "deployment" you have a nail nick, and the knife doesn't have a lock, so this section once again proves to be a little off point. The action or, "walk and talk" as slip joint aficionados call it, seems pretty good. I don't have enough slip joints to form a frame of comparison, so I won't attempt to rank it on a 10 point scale (slip joint enthusiasts sometimes rank the pull or strength of the spring on a 1-10 scale). I will say that this knife sure as heck isn't opening up by accident, and the blade makes a satisfying snap when it pops open. There is no half stop on this knife.
The lock up is pretty good considering that there is no lock. I didn't have any issues with the knife closing on my hand, but I was careful in using it. If you mind your p's and q's and use the right tool for the job then you should be able to get a fair amount of work done with this knife.
I am frankly very impressed that they can still make these in the US and sell them for under $25. Little details like a centered blade a sharp even edge bevel are present at a price point where these kinds of details often cant be found. Case in point, I bought a little plastic handled Buck lockback knife a couple years ago, and the thing was such a piece of junk that I didn't even bother reviewing it. The Sod Buster Jr is legitimately a nice knife. Much like the Cadet, this would also make a great gift knife.
What else can I really say? The Case Sod Buster Jr is an absolute classic. There are folks who have dedicated their collections to traditional slip joint knives, and could lend far keener insights than I have. So I hope I didn't do it too grave of an injustice with this review. I still wanted to take an opportunity to talk about it, because I can appreciate the knife even as a relative outsider to the world of traditional folders. It's a nice gateway knife, and a safe starting point for a traditional collection. I like and recommend it.
I like it. The yellow handle reminds me of old ivory scales…..
Thanks, Andrew. Yeah I like that aspect about the yellow as well. $25 well spent I'd say!
I quite like your take on "the classics", the very fact that you're a user of modern utility designs makes it somewhat different from what's out there. A touch less sentimental than those who connect the old designs with their grandfathers and the such. A very nice review, done in your great style.
Just after 5 minutes in the video is a simple tip on how to clean up your blade.
Thanks, that is a great video. Might try this on a carbon blade the next time I'm using my water stones.
That forced patina is pretty cool, but I have a suggestion. The black/grey portions are ferrous oxide, which is a nice stable coating. The red/orange bits are ferric oxide, commonly known as rust. It's not so good. This is easy to fix if you wish to. Bar Keeper's Friend is a powdered cleaner like Boraxo, but based on oxalic acid crystals. This compound reacts with rust to eat it up. Just wet the blade, apply BKF and scrub it off after a bit (under a minute). Dry and apply food-safe mineral oil (drug store OTC) to protect it.
When I got my CV Sodbuster Jr. I just spent a couple months using it for random mincing and fine prep in the kitchen. After use I would clean and oil the blade, but I wasn't super fastidious about it. This ended up giving me a hazy, light gray patina over most of the blade.
Case's CV steel is about as soft as I care to go (this makes me leery of their Tru-Sharp offerings) but it is good. It strops and sharpens easily and takes a keen, clean edge.
Overall these things are a steal for sub-$25. The handle is soooo comfortable.
I agree, RD. Great little knife for the money. Well made and practical.
Thanks for bringing a smile to my face with this review. I've had the original black handled SB Jr, stainless blade, in my pocket nearly every day since I was 11. I turned 54 two weeks ago. The handle is a bit scratched up from life, but the blade is still sharp and robust. It's still tight. The engraved farmer's plow is still there, but faded out decades ago.
What you may not realize is just how tough this little worker is. The hinge pin is easily 4 times the size of a regular pocket knife. You can really, really put some hand torque into wood with this one. It holds a good working edge, but the steel isn't so grand that you can put a real low angle razor edge on it. No, it has no lock, but the back spring is quite strong and the blade stays open unless you do something rather stupid.
And while it might seem small in this day and age when so many knives need a wheelie bag to drag them along with you, the "little" SB Jr is a seriously large knife to pull out of your pocket. Funny though, the nicely rounded scales and ends make it almost disappear in your pocket. You don't feel it, and it doesn't profile.
I got mine at L.L. Beans on a family camping trip to Maine, back in the day when all they sold was hunting and camping gear. Best $6 I ever spent. My brother bought the full size version the same day, and his went in the drawer within a year. That one is just too darn big for a pocket, and its massive blade really needs a locking back to be safe.
Wow! Thank you for the awesome and insightful comment. Much appreciated. It is great to get someone's view on the knife who has carried it for over 40 years. I wish I could say I tested all my knives out that long before review. Awesome!
The Sodbuster JR is an incredible knife. No doubt about it. I agree with you, it's an awesome balance of toughness, pocket-ability, and value. For $25 it's very tough to beat. Thanks again for the great comment. Take care.
I just bought the Sodbuster Jr. with the CV blade and yellow scales. It is indeed a very nice EDC knife.
I am glad to hear you are enjoying your Sodbuster Jr. It's a great EDC knife for the money. Enjoy it in good health!
I've been carrying my Sodbuster Jr. for about 3 years now, using it for just about everything. Yesterday I had the chance for a couple of hours in the woods to hunt turkey. Last minute, no planning, I grabbed my shotgun and a call and ran into the woods. Wouldn't you know it I got a nice tom and ended up cleaning him right in the woods…and used my Sodbuster Jr. to cut off the head, feet, wing tips and open him up. I've always liked this knife and keep it sharp. Now I like it even better. Good story to tell the grandkids.
Hey Phil, That is pretty cool! Not many people can say they dressed a turkey with a Sodbuster Jr. – you certainly have me beat! Carry yours in good health.
I carry mine along side my wallet where it weighs nothing and stays put. As for use, you name it, its done it. It really excels as a food prep knife in camp, but is tough enough for daily hard trade use. The smooth handle makes it comfortable for extended repetitive cuts without tiring your hand ir creating hot spots. This is an excellent tradesmans knife. Its built for the long haul.
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time out to comment. It's nice to hear how you use your Sod Buster Jr. I agree, it's a great work knife thanks to it's simple design and sturdy construction. And given the knife only costs $20 you can easily replace it if something happens.
I love things that work, and this knife is a worker. The only real mod Ive done to it is to polish the blade on both sides. You lose the plow etching, but the smoothness you gain makes the knife cut easier and clean up better after messy tasks.
I've had my Sodbuster Jr. almost a year now. There really is something about the look and feel of this knife, you just can't quite describe it. I love this pattern! When I purchased the knife (from lowes surprisingly enough) I went straight home and buried the blade in an apple for a few hours. Patina turned out wonderful and looked fairly natural. Besides normal everyday use, I've cleaned a few fish and a whole lot of bullfrogs with it. Some friends snickered at my little pocket knife but they sure shut the hell up when they saw how sharp it was, and how sharp it stayed. Really great review Dan! You couldn't possibly have said any more good things about this knife.
I just picked up a sodbuster Jr for 10 bucks at the local feed store here in Oregon. It didn't have a box so I offered 10 bucks. It takes me back to the days working for my uncles on their farms in Texas when I was a kid. I saw the USA on the blade of this little gem, displayed in a near empty glass case, and I knew it was going home with me.
I think $10 for this knife is a great deal. It's a nice little knife at a price you can't ignore. I hope yours brings you lots of enjoyment.
I'm a diesel / heavy equipment mechanic and I use a sodbuster every day . It's easy to sharpen and holds an edge thanks to Case's CV steel . Perfect for cutting wire, hose and other shop stuff . My knife has the patina in the handle of all places . The grease and dirt from the machines as turned the yellow handle dark in places . Great all American working mans knife , couldn't beat the price as it was a gift from a friend .
I love the case sodbuster jr. I have two of em. I blue my blades with blackmagic gun cold blue compound, it looks great, takes about 5 minutes, costs about 9 bucks a bottle and it hasnt shown a spec of rust out here in the florida humidity in 2 months with no oil, and i got the thing in my pocket outside all day everyday at work.

Barth Syndrome is the only known Mendelian disorder of cardiolipin remodeling, with characteristic clinical features of cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, and neutropenia. While the primary biochemical defects of reduced mature cardiolipin and increased monolysocardiolipin are well-described, much of the downstream biochemical dysregulation has not been uncovered, and biomarkers are limited. In order to further expand upon the knowledge of the biochemical abnormalities in Barth Syndrome, we analyzed metabolite profiles in plasma from a cohort of individuals with Barth Syndrome compared to age-matched controls via 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. A clear distinction between metabolite profiles of individuals with Barth Syndrome and controls was observed, and was defined by an array of metabolite classes including amino acids and lipids. Pathway analysis of these discriminating metabolites revealed involvement of mitochondrial and extra-mitochondrial biochemical pathways including: insulin regulation of fatty acid metabolism, lipid metabolism, biogenic amine metabolism, amino acid metabolism, endothelial nitric oxide synthase signaling, and tRNA biosynthesis. Taken together, this data indicates broad metabolic dysregulation in Barth Syndrome with wide cellular effects.

Theatre Review: Crazy for You - Edinburgh Playhouse ✭✭✭✭
Lisa Davidson 15:30
Review by Anne Mackie
It's 'got rhythm, it's got music…who could ask for anything more?'
No, literally…who COULD ask for anything more when this charming production evokes just the right amount of 'old school' pizzazz as it showcases the classic melodies of George and Ira Gershwin in a refreshed yet innovative touring adaption.
At first glance, Crazy for You presents itself as the epitome of Golden Age of Musical Theatre. However, theoretically this is a musical from the 1990s and arguably the earliest of 'jukebox' productions, encompassing standalone numbers from over 80 years ago.
The 2018 UK Tour delivers a fun, light-hearted revival, presented superbly by an energetic cast of actor-musicians – a concept which both works and flops within the context of this interpretation. Crazy for You is a production that is renowned for being incredibly choreographic, and whilst it is impressive to watch a company of quadruple threats strut their stuff, in this instance the use of instruments proves detrimental to the dancing. For example, numbers such as Slap that Bass and I Got Rhythm lacked the true showbiz glitz we have come to expect of a production of this calibre. Admittedly, the actor-muso element works well in more static productions such as Calamity Jane or Oliver, however in this Broadway classic…"toss the clarinet and whip out your tap shoes!"
As far as narratives go, Crazy for You follows Bobby Child, a young man wanting to dance rather than work for the family bank. He is instructed to go to Deadrock, Nevada to foreclose a rundown theatre and reluctantly heads off, only to fall in love with Polly Baker – a young, headstrong lady who wants to save the long-held family theatre. Bobby is inspired to help Polly and sets out to put on a show disguised as the renowned theatre practitioner, Bela Zangler. It's clear to see, Crazy for You is famed for the music…not its plot line!
Headliner Tom Chambers (of Strictly fame) gives a well-rounded performance as the haplessly cheerful Bobby Child. Despite a couple of strained vocals, Chambers is a dexterous dancer who truly commits to his physically demanding portrayal, giving an infectious performance that highlights exactly why he was crowned the winner of Strictly Come Dancing in 2008.
The true star of the show, however, is Chambers' right-hand woman - the delightful Charlotte Wakefield in the role of Polly Baker. Wakefield's endearing and spunky interpretation of the optimistic Polly Baker is an utter joy to watch, supporting a magnificent vocal that fortunately balances out Chamber's musical shortcomings. Her renditions of the classic Someone to Watch Over Me and But Not For Me being two of the show's highlights.
Kudos must also go to Claire Sweeney as the sassy yet seductive Irene Roth, Stacey Ghent and Kieran Kuypersas the 'spiffing' comedic duo Patricia and Eugene Fodorand Neil Ditt as the real Bela Zangler. Their individual performances were well thought out, committed and dynamic, supporting the narrative superbly.
Director Paul Hart, Musical Supervisor and Arranger Catherine Jayes and Choreographer Nathan M Wright must be commended for their collaborative efforts in presenting this Broadway classic with a true contemporary edge. Although the actor-muso element let the overall production value down on occasion; the way in which the ensemble immersed themselves into the piece was effortless and commendable. Whether a poised dancing foot, a cello in hand or belting a harmony line, the 2018 revival cast gracefully give an otherwise eccentric narrative new energy and verve.
Overall, Crazy for You is a stellar production that certainly won't leave you 'bidin' your time' – with feel good showstoppers, light hearted characterisations and the classic 'boy gets girl' plot, this is a much loved 'old school' favourite that will have you tapping in the aisles and singing all the way home.
So, 'grab a ticket if you can get it, and you can get it if you try!'
Crazy for You is at the Edinburgh Playhouse until Saturday 7th April. For tickets visit the Edinburgh Playhouse.

In 1847, there was a great famine in Germany and business was at a standstill. Nancy Lelewer (Sonnabend's) great, great grandfather Selig Lelewer, his wife and five children were very poor in spite of Selig being hard working and one of the most skilled fur tanners in the city of Lissa. When Selig learned that compensation for his class of work was being reduced below living wages, he quit, sold their home and left on a sailing vessel to seek his fortune in America. He figured the money from the sale of their home would cover his family's expenses for six months by which time he would have begun sending money back to them.
The ship was lost at sea. At the time of Selig's departure the author's great grandfather, David Lelewer, was five years old. Thirteen years later, at age eighteen, David Lelewer made the same crossing his father Selig had attempted with the aim of lifting his mother and siblings out of poverty. In David's autobiography he wrote about the untenable condition in which his mother found herself and described their arduous lives in the old country, his struggles for many years in America, the founding of the family business, how to handle money and precepts of how to guide one's life. Ms. Lelewer writes of her great grandfather's experiences and those of the next five generations of her family in America from 1910 to 2010, often told in the voices of the people relating the stories.
Enthralling any reader of history and human nature, the twenty-two chapters of THE LELEWER LEGACY present a wide range of stories that together reflect the breadth and depth of the author's heritage and her personal legacy. She honors the Lelewer Stores that were prominent in Chicago's loop and made history in the city with their innovations. There is a humorous chapter on Joseph David Lelewer, Nancy's father; another chapter provides a fascinating narrative of Nancy's life in Spain when it was under Franco; there are two terrifying episodes of adventures at sea; and much more. Many chapters include anecdotes about such colorful people as: "Scarface" Al Capone, Richard Loeb of the Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold duo who committed the crime of the century, Chic Young of the Blondiestrip, Chuck Walgreen of the Walgreen Stores, philanthropist Irving B. Harris, A.M. Sonnabend, legendary financer and hotel pioneer, Dr. Per Udden, Swedish inventor and founder of two organizations and Alan Trustman who wrote The Thomas Crown Affair.
The author's final chapter, Epilogue and Afterword introduce her children and grandchildren and depict how she is continuing to honor the life precepts set down by her great-grandfather, passing them and other traditions along to the next generations. THE LELEWER LEGACY is a lasting tribute to the true meaning of family.
THE LELEWER LEGACY, Traditions of a Loving Family is a daughter's memoir covering 100 years of joyful, terrifying, and inspiring experiences of six generations of her family in America from 1910 to 2010, often told in the voices of the people relating the stories.
The author, a dyslexic herself, describes her experience raising four children, three of whom had some form of learning disability and ADD or ADHD. Often she wouldn't accept the advice of "the experts" and created new ways to help her children learn.

Many think the death of malls will spell the end of this company, but they are ignoring the company's new sales channel and outsized dividend yield.
The North Face jackets. Timberland boots. SmartWool socks. Vans shoes. What do all of these have in common?
They are all products owned by VFCorporation (NYSE:VFC), and combined with other outdoor and action products, they brought in over $7.5 billion in sales last year. The company is a clothing conglomerate with a bevy of steady and reliable brands.
And yet, over the past 18 months, Wall Street has hated this stock. Shares have underperformed the S&P 500 by 38 percentage points. While that's discouraging, it also presents a unique opportunity: the chance to buy a safe and growing dividend that's now yielding over 3%. Here's why it's a pretty good deal.
Despite a strong roster of brands, VF isn't immune to the death of malls in America. As e-commerce gobbles up more and more of the retail pie, companies selling products via the mall have suffered. And slower traffic alone isn't the only problem: As retail stores adjust to this new reality, they are ordering far less inventory, magnifying the effects on VF's wholesale business.
While growth was slow heading into 2016, it was at least positive. But that trend reversed last year, with the wholesale business declining by almost 3% as fewer and fewer people were shopping at malls.
That, combined with some goodwill write-offs and the decision to restructure the company's lucy branded women's clothes with The North Face division, combined to bring earnings down 8% last year.
What we have here, then, is a business in transition. The old forms for selling products are drying up, and VF needs to transition into new lines. Already, it has been doing that. The company's direct-to-consumer (DTC) channel includes both VF-operated stores and e-commerce. And it has been growing steadily -- annualized at over 11% -- for the past five years.
Compare how the wholesale and DTC lines have diverged.
Just as importantly, international customers can't seem to get enough of VF's brands. Back in 2014, the company counted $3.6 billion in international sales. Last year, that figure was $5.4 billion -- a 50% jump in just 24 months.
Of course, the problem is that the wholesale business still makes up over 70% of all sales. Over time, though, I believe two things will happen. First, more and more sales will migrate to the DTC channel -- which is not only more reliable, but offers higher margins. Second, I believe the wholesale business will eventually stabilize, making the gradual transition to DTC easier on shareholders.
In the meantime, investors buying in today get the benefit of a 3% dividend yield that is very safe. When it comes to dividends, the most important thing to keep an eye on is free cash flow (FCF) -- the amount of money a company puts into its pocket every year, minus capital expenditures. It is from FCF that dividends are paid, and investors never want to see the latter outstripping the former.
While the company's FCF has been variable from year to year, management has never used more than 60% of it to pay the dividend. And last year, it used less than half. That means that the company's 3.1% yield is very safe and has lots of room to grow.
In fact, VF has raised its dividend for 44 consecutive years. That means while you're getting a 3.1% dividend yield this year, it could be substantially higher -- relative to today's purchase price -- in a decade.
For instance, investors who bought shares in 2007 got a 2.5% dividend yield. But based on the original purchase price back then, the dividend they are getting now is yielding 7.6% based on their original purchase price.
That's why income investors should look carefully at buying shares of VF. The company owns valuable brands that have proven themselves over the years and are growing in importance internationally. While the transition for U.S. wholesale to DTC will be painful, patient investors could be rewarded handsomely.

Just sign in normally check the box that asks if you want to 'use a secure connection'.
Why does it keep saying that parts of the page are insecure?
Don't worry, this doesn't mean your connection is not secure. This message is caused by the Google Ads we have on each page. Currently Google doesn't allow these to be encrypted so it's only that part of the page that isn't encrypted. Everything else is fully secure.
A ledger records the transactions that take place between people. These might be the bills you and your flatmates share for your flat, the costs shared by travelmates on a trip away or the expenses run up by your band, your sports team or any kind of group that you're a member of.
How do I create a new ledger?
Setting up a new ledger is simple. Just log in and click the 'New ledger' button on your dashboard. Then enter the ledger a name (e.g. 'Flat A 22 High Street' or 'Sicily Holiday'), add a helpful description (such as 'Paul, Mary and Mark's bills & expenses'), set the currency symbol (£, $, € etc.) and a prefix (say 'flat' or 'trip') so that each purchase is given a unique code that you can write on receipts, like flat01 or trip07. Click 'Create' and you are ready to start adding people to the ledger.
How do I open a ledger?
You can see a list of all of your ledgers on your Dashboard, along with their recent purchases, payments and shopping list items. Click on 'View' or the title of any of your ledgers to open it.
How do I add someone to a ledger?
Just click on the 'People' button within a ledger. You can send out invites for your friends and colleagues to join you by entering their email address and clicking 'Add person'. If they are already an Expensure user, they'll be able to accept your invitation when they next log in. If you are inviting a new user, they will receive an invite via email and can join by clicking the link within it. Either way, they will be listed as 'Invited' until they accept the invitation to join your ledger, however you can enter purchases and payments for them in the meantime.
How do I change the name or other details of a ledger?
Click on 'Ledger settings', make your changes, and click 'Update'. Note that to make these types of changes you must either be the person who created the ledger, or the creator will have had to have given you 'Admin' access to it on the 'People' page.
Can I view all of the transactions on a ledger?
Yes. Click on 'Transaction history' from within any ledger for a full list of every transaction that has taken place between the people involved, one month at a time. Scroll back and forward between months using the 'Previous' and 'Next' links.
How do I delete someone from a ledger?
To delete a person from a ledger, click 'People' and then the trash can icon across from their name. You need to be either the creator or an Admin of the ledger to do this. Once deleted, this person will not be able access the ledger, but purchases and payments they have made will remain on the ledger. Note that you can't delete a person until their net balance is zero.
How do I delete a ledger?
You can delete an entire ledger by going to 'Ledger settings' and then clicking the 'Delete ledger' button in the panel on the right. Deleting a ledger permanently removes it from Expensure. Be very careful – there's no way to undo this!
I've just joined an existing ledger. Where did all these purchases and payments come from?
When you share expenses with other people using Expensure, they can record purchases and payments on ledgers that you share.
How do I record that I've paid a bill or bought something?
To record a purchase, select the relevant ledger and click 'Add purchase'. You can then enter information about what was purchased, how much it cost, who it needs to be split with and how much each person needs to pay. Expensure will then update the 'Who owes whom what?' panel for the ledger.
What's the 'Who owes whom what?' panel?
This shows each person on the ledger, and the amount that owe, or are owed, to the others.
How does Expensure know what I owe to other people?
Whenever you or someone that you share a ledger with records a purchase, Expensure adds it to the list of transactions on the ledger. We then use the mighty power of Circular Debt Resolution to work out who owes whom what, and show the final payments required to square things off.
How do I record that I've paid what I owe to somebody?
Once you've settled an outstanding debt with somebody, you need to record the payment so that Expensure knows about it. You can either click on 'Add payment', or click on the 'Settle this debt' link next to their name in the 'Who owes whom what?' panel. Both of these actions will allow you to enter information about the payment, such as who it was made to, the amount, and any extra notes you may wish to add.
Can I pay somebody back using Expensure?
Soon. Right now we are focusing on making Expensure the best shared expense tracking app out there. But we do plan to add the ability for you to both make and receive cash payments shortly.
What is Circular Debt Resolution™?
It sounds complicated, but the idea is simple. When multiple people share expenses over a given time period, there will always be someone who has paid more/less than someone else. For example, Mark might owe Paul £11 for lunch, and Paul might owe Mary £10 for groceries, and Paul might also owe Mark £22.50 for gig tickets and Mary might owe Mark £10.58 for dinner and Mark owes Mary £27 for gas, but he also owes Paul £8.80 for gas, and Paul still owes Mary £35 for last month's electricity bill and it goes on and on and on can get so complicated that even a maths degree won't help you work it out.
This is where Expensure steps in - Expensure looks at who you owe money to, who owes you money, and what money these other people owe to each other. Expensure then groups all of these transactions together, works out which debts cancel each other out and determines the simplest way to clear any outstanding amounts using the least number of transactions within a group of people, so that it's never the case that money goes from hand to hand in a circle. So in the example above, Paul needs to pay Mary £47.70 and Mark needs to pay Mary £13.72 and then they will all be back to a clean slate.
What's the idea behind shopping lists?
The shopping list is a place where you and the people that you share the ledger with can itemise the things you need to buy in the future, like the groceries for your flat, or the supplies for a trip away with friends. That way any of the people on your ledger can log in and see what needs to be bought. When you buy things that are on the list, it's easy for you to record the purchase in Expensure by ticking the check box next to the item and clicking 'Purchase items'. That way, the others on the ledger will know that you've bought it so they don't have to!
It'd be great if I could see the shopping list on my mobile phone!
We agree – soon you'll be able to use the mobile version of Expensure to view and check off items from the list when you're out and about picking things up.
How do I add something to a shopping list?
Each of your ledgers has a separate shopping list. Just click 'Shopping list' on the main menu, then 'Add item'. Enter the details of the new item and click 'Create'.
How do I edit an item on a shopping list?
Click the 'Edit' link next to the item you want to edit, make your changes to the entry, and click 'Update'. Your changes will be shown on the list.
How do I remove something from a shopping list?
Click the trash can icon next the item you want to remove. If you're removing the item because you've bought it or paid it, make sure to check the box and click 'Purchase items' instead, else Expensure won't know that you've bought it and you won't get paid back!
How does the Trends page work?
Everytime you record a new purchase you can assign it to a specific expense category (there are a bunch of default categories to choose from, or you can create your own ones). Once a purchase has been linked to an expense category, Expensure can visualise it as part of your overall outgoings on the Trends page.
The Trends page takes all of these categorised purchases for the most recent 6 month period and plots them on a graph that features a month-by-month breakdown of your spending habits across each category, showing you when and where your expenses are increasing or decreasing.
How do I set up my own categories?
On the Trends page you'll see the 'Edit categories' button. Click this to see the categories for the ledger. If you are an administrator of the ledger, you'll be able to add, edit and remove the categories.
I'm an early adopter and have been using Expensure since before Trends existed! Can I go back to old purchases and categorise them?
Yes, you can go back and edit purchases that have been recorded in the past and assign them to a category. If you do, make sure to set up your categories first.
How can I change my name or password?
You can see your account settings by clicking 'My page' on the main menu after you log in. Click 'Edit my account' to change your name or password.
Don't worry, just click 'Help, I forgot my password!' on the login page and we'll send your password to your registered email address.
We're sorry to see you go, but if you want to delete your account and all of your ledgers, contact us and we'll delete them for you.


John is definitely putting in the hours. He's always last to leave the office. One day, you talk over lunch and you find out that he has only taken 3 days off this year. He's a sociable guy, he loves his job and his team likes him. But he just doesn't feel like taking time off. He's single and has no kids, so there's also no external pressure to head off to the beach.
Sounds fair enough, you think, but you know this isn't healthy. It's great to have such dedication but it's also important to take a break.
It's an important part of mental hygiene to let go of work and take a break. Highlight the value of time off in company meetings, team meetings and one-on-ones. Make it clear that nobody gets brownie points for not taking their holiday and emphasise how important leisure is for mental wellbeing, happiness and productivity.
If your leaders don't take their full holiday allowance, don't be surprised if the team follows suit. By not taking time off, they are implicitly sending the message that this is the example to follow. Practice what you preach!
Identify those who take fewer days off than average and make sure their manager brings up the topic in their next one-on one. It's useful to have holiday as a standing agenda item - so you always check in on when they're next taking a break - and HR could send reports to team leaders once a quarter so they have oversight of who in their team is short on time off.
Some people dread the post-holiday email deluge so much that it stops them wanting to leave at all! Encourage good handovers so colleagues can take care of responsibilities while someone is away, and consider implementing an internal "clean slate" policy whereby everyone archives all internal emails that have piled up during their holiday. If someone wants something from them, they need to email them again when they're back in the office. Often, the majority of requests will have resolved themselves by that point.
Are those lacking holidays concentrated in one particular team or function? This could be the sign of an overstretched department. It's often the case also that those without partners are less organised booking holiday because they have less external pressure to do so.
Let John know that he has influence on other people around him. By not taking time off, he may be subtly pressuring others to do the same, even if he is not their boss. They may believe that not taking time off gives him an edge for the next promotion cycle. Calling to his conscience and setting this as part of his own leadership development could help.
Consider establishing a minimum number of holiday days per quarter. That will create a forcing mechanism that keeps holiday at the forefront of people's mind and makes it easier to call out those who aren't taking enough.
Different people have different limits, but everyone needs time off if they're going to work effectively and consistently. It's often surprising that people need coercing to do so, but it does happen, and it's important to stay on top of it.

Q: Can I use a directory to contains a couples app directory? Can I use a directory to contains a couples app directory?
I mean, my project is very large, and there are many apps in my project.
such as apps about admin user, apps about normal user, apps about frontend, apps about ...
So, my project is very clutter, I want to use a group directory to wrap the related apps into it.
I don't know whether this idea is feasible. some friend can help me with this? is there should take care of some other things?
The snapshot red framework is a group apps. I want to group them, who can help me with this?

A: I assume that probably you are using one of the latest versions of Django.
In my case I like to create a folder called apps to keep the project more organized.
This is my project structure example:

and then I am doing this in the settings.py file:
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
PARENT_DIR = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, os.pardir))
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(PARENT_DIR, 'apps'))

So, I think you could do something similar creating multiple folders to organize your custom apps.
I hope it make sense.

Troll the Shallow Shad Rap slowly on a flat line with no additional weight over weed beds and shallow shoals to catch fish that you couldn't get to with deeper running lures. When trolling also looks for birds flocking and diving into the water; most likely they are attacking schools of baitfish, chased to the surface by predators. Trolling shallow running lures in the close vicinity of this kind of action can produce nice fish and make your day.

Хевина Хидон (, 1930—2013) — валлийская общественная деятельница, ставшая известной в ходе забастовки британских шахтёров 1984—1985.

Деятельность
Будучи секретарём ячейки  в деревне , Хидон была организатором множества протестных акций, проводившихся в ходе забастовки шахтёров.

Хидон посвятила жизнь борьбе за права женщин, ЛГБТ, неимущих. В 1998—2001 она занимала должность директора Партнерства долины Дулайс — организации, стремившейся «найти решение для социально-экономической депривации долины Дулайс».

Хидон в СМИ
В фильме «Гордость» роль Хевины Хидон исполнила Имельда Стонтон, удостоенная за эту роль премии британского независимого кино как лучшая актриса второго плана и выдвинутая на соискание премии BAFTA.

Роль Хидон в ходе забастовки шахтёров описана валлийским политиком  в книге History on our Side: Wales and the 1984-85 Miners' Strike; издание 2015 года было посвящено памяти Хидон. Фрэнсис указывает, что Хидон «сыграла ключевую роль в установлении партнёрства между Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners и шахтёрами».

В 2006 году валлийская художница Жаклин Алкема создала цикл портретов Женщины с прошлым; одной из шести женщин была Хевина Хидон.

Why the Hell Would You Take Your Children to See Evil Dead?
Your offspring AREN'T the spawn of Satan? Then get a fucking babysitter.
by Mike Lamb
Like most old school horror film geeks, I went to see the new Evil Dead remake fully prepared to love it, despise it, or both. It ended up doing both, but mostly I enjoyed it. Was it better than the original? No. Did it look really fucking cool? Yes. Much like the re-makes of Dawn of the Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Halloween, I'm willing to file this one under "acceptable blasphemy." It had a lot of things going for it and it could have been much, much worse.
I'll break it down for you.
Gory as fuck
Creepy as hell
Visually stunning, excellent cinematography
Not overloaded with cheap CGI
Not plagued by nu-metal goth pop soundtrack
Every un-possessed human character kind of sucked (Seventies Beard Guy was alright in an annoying pseudo-comic relief sort of way, but otherwise, eh)
Throwaway dramatic back story that nobody cares about
Main character is an emo pretty boy
At no point does the main character ever "go Bruce Campbell" (if you don't instantly know what I mean by that then you know nothing about the Evil Dead movies)
Did I mention that I hated the main character?
He dies. Thankfully. Someone else goes Bruce Campbell at the last minute, thereby making me hate this movie much less than I would've had they crapped out the ending like I thought they were going to. When it reaches that "are you fucking shitting me?" point in the film, just know that it gets better.
If you're not quite sure what to expect, the first thing you should know about the remake is that this is not a comedy. At all. Most casual fans of the franchise tend to forget that in the first movie Sam Raimi was honestly trying to make a serious horror film. By the time he got around to Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness, he just said fuck it and made them comedies because Bruce Campbell is goddamn hilarious.
The second thing you should know is that THIS MOVIE IS NOT FOR GODDAMN LITTLE TINY CHILDREN, WHAT THE FUCK, YOU SHITTY, SHITTY PARENTS. I mention this only because the Saturday matinee I went to was full of kids. As in more than five. What. The. Fuck.
The loudest and stupidest ones kept saying "ooh scary!" in little mocking voices during the trailers. We, the non-parent grown-ups of the audience, wanted to kill them. Fortunately, it never came to that. After the first scene of the actual movie they shut the fuck up and promptly exited the theater with their mother, hopefully to go home and have soul crushing nightmares for the rest of the school year.
So parents, if you're just looking for a fun scary movie and you're bringing the kids along because you're too cheap or lazy for a babysitter, then maybe you need to understand that this movie is like Saw and Hostel being chainsaw-raped by The Exorcist while screaming fuckity fuckity fuck at the top of its demonic lungs. Again, probably not so appropriate for the 6-10 age bracket.
This movie is rated R. Believe me when I tell you that it's a hard R. It's a "somebody had to blow half the MPAA to keep this from being NC-17 in the theaters" R. This isn't "adult situations." This isn't "cover your eyes during the bad parts." IT'S ALL BAD PARTS. IT'S SATANIC TORTURE PORN, YOU FUCKING IDIOT. At almost any given moment, you can be pretty sure that something completely horrible is either occurring or about to occur onscreen.
Oh yeah, and there's a scene where a girl gets full-on penetrated by a very phallic looking vine. Covered in thorns. That came out of a possessed girl's mouth. Have fun explaining that one at dinner. Oh what am I saying, I'm sure your kids see demonic lesbian tentacle rape on Pokémon all the time. Don't they? No? Huh.
Damn, now I want Sam Raimi to produce a live action R-rated Pokémon horror movie. Somebody should start up a petition. We need a Satanic soul-eating Pikachu reboot right now.

Assalamualaikum and good evening. I'm going to share experiments conducted by us. Well, it's better for me to explain background of the experiments. Complainants of customers as well as increasing cases of returned products due to quality deterioration were things that moot the idea for experiments to solve the problem that always occur in sauce production industry.
still the sauce flows easily. This reflects the undesirable quality of sauce. It has very low viscoity.
rest factors would be dealt with on the upcoming posts.
are stored in cartons that made heat to stay in the bottles for loner period thus, lowering its viscosity. Starch is the main component for the physical appearance of sauce including its viscosity. Based on our prior knowledge, gel formation concept, starch needs to reach gelation process upon cooling in order to become more solid and firm as well as of high viscosity. So, the sauce bottle that is kept in the store might store more heat, hence it does not reach cooling point causing it to be of higher viscosity.
but it sounds like there's no cooling tunnel .meaning they cool their product relying on the ambient?
Well, you're right. There is no cooling tunnel. We totally rely on the ambient condition for the sauce to be cooled which is not quite effective for it to have higher viscosity. That is one of the main problems. For your information, there are two different modes of 'cooling'.
The first one is by straightly keeping the sauce into the store room after being packed nicely on to pallet. This refers to sauce with glass bottles.
The second mode is that the sauce at the production site for one night before being kept in the store room and this is applied for plastic bottles. And the viscosity problem normally emerged from the sauce of glass bottle.
The problem now is how to provide the cooling process in the store room which is not too cool, with opened air and no controlled ventilation system.
cold filling is not a good idea as contamination will occur in the process. The factory should maintain the hot filling technique and solve the viscosity problem in different way. The loss of viscosity is probably due to overcooking or with the quality of thickener.

Winslow Junction. A place very close to my heart. These designs are inspired by my documentary photography projects in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey.
I have photographed this region extensively, including the many ghost towns there. Effectively Winslow Junction is just another one of them.
Many trains criss-crossed the state and had their heyday before the widespread use of the automobile. You can find abandoned train tracks all over the Pine Barrens, and it is such a lot of fun to explore there.
These designs are my way of bringing these trains back to life, ensuring that they are not forgotten. Even in their dilapidated state, I find they still have a lot of beauty.
These abstract designs are very versatile, being equally powerful as big wall art for more contemporary spaces, as well as textiles.


2010 was a very exciting year for smartphones owners. A lot of new smartphones were introduced, and a lot of apps were developed. I made a list of the 5 best/most played games of 2010 for the Iphone.
Plants vs zombies is a very enjoying game where you have to stop the zombies by invading your home. You get the help of some very helpful plants with special abilities.
The game is about an adorable monster, called Om Nom, and he has only 1 request. Candy! So make sure that all the candy comes to Om Nom and he will be very happy. This game works very well because of the simple controls.
Conquer Eagle Mountain with the help of your trusty grappling hook. Swing and run your way through meadows, frost-tinged fields, ice caverns, volcanic caves, and more. A very fun and fast game!
Broken sword: director's cut is a remake of the original version of the game, launched in 1996. It is a point and click adventure, that has clever controls on the Iphone. The graphics are great, the story is superb. Don't miss this game.
Canabalt is a jump 'n' run game that takes this name very literaly. The main personage runs automatically, and the only thing you can do is make him jump. You run on top of the roofs of big skyscrapers, and you have to stay alive. It's simplicity makes this game great.
