			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-top: 0px">Curious to know if an old knickknack is an antique or just junk?</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">With online appraisers, customers don&#8217;t have to tote in their objects (tough, especially if it&#8217;s a bulky piece of furniture), because the services use photos to help value each antique. Online appraisals can come in handy for estate and insurance purposes, or for getting a second opinion before purchasing an antique.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">We tested five sites where a single appraisal costs up to $20 and takes one to eight days to complete. The items appraised were a pair of vintage diamond and black onyx earrings bought in the 1940s, a 19th century gilded Meissen porcelain bowl bought in 1947 at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, and a vintage Olivetti Valentine typewriter. Each appraisal included its estimated value as well as additional information about our items, such as history and care instructions.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">In most instances, we uploaded detailed photos of three items to the website and included information we had available for each object. Appraisal results were mixed. For example, auction values for the earrings varied by as much as $625. &quot;You could ask five appraisers [for] five values and get 15 answers,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-cuff-links-c-8.html" target="_blank"><b>tiffany cuff Links sale</b></a>,&quot; says Leon Castner, director of education at the International Society of Appraisers and a partner in an appraisal firm in Hope, N.J. He examined our photos and then vetted the other five appraisals that we received.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Mr. Castner points out that it&#8217;s important to understand what type of value is listed in the quote. An auction or fair market value, for example, is significantly higher than quick sale value, which is what an item would yield at a pawn shop, he says.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Value My Stuff Now Ltd., a London company, was the simplest to use and provided the fastest results. Our photos uploaded quickly and we only needed to fill out a few lines of information for each item. Company founder Patrick van der Vorst says detailed photos are often the most useful. Providing too much information from the customer can potentially confuse an appraiser, says Mr. van der Vorst.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Less than a day later, we received PDFs of our valuation reports in an email along with an embeddable eBay code in case we wanted to include it with a listing on the auction site. Our earrings were valued between $600 to $800; the typewriter $70 to $100; and the bowl $100 to $150.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Our typewriter and bowl were close to Mr. Castner&#8217;s recommendations, while the earrings are probably worth less because there is very little precious material, he says. Mr. Castner says the typewriter&#8217;s auction value is $175. He gave a value of $200 for the bowl and $250 for the earrings.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">At WhatsItWorthToYou.com, a Perth, Canada, site, instructions were clear but photos took a minute or so to upload. Two of our appraisals came back within a day. To view our results, we had to log back into the website, which required remembering our username and password. We were informed that the earrings hadn&#8217;t been appraised within the allotted 72 hours. More than a week later, we were still waiting for an appraisal for the earrings. (Founder Erik Kafrissen says in rare instances appraisals take longer.) Our bowl had an auction value of $435 with a $725 replacement cost. The typewriter was valued at $175 with a $800 replacement cost. (Replacement costs tend to be higher for hard-to-find items.)</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Appraisals for the typewriter and bowl were mostly accurate but their replacement costs were too high, says Mr. Castner.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">After paying $39.95 for three appraisals at AuctionWally.com, we simply sent our photos and descriptions via email. We found a lack of submittal form less convenient because we weren&#8217;t sure which information to include. (Professional appraiser and founder Walt Kolenda says there&#8217;s no need for a submittal form since he fields all requests.)</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Within two days we were provided links to our appraisals via email. Mr. Kolenda also publishes appraisals on his site (unless asked not to) in order to help others looking for auction advice. Mr. Castner says the earrings,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-rings-c-6.html" target="_blank"><b>rings</b></a>, priced at a retail value of $250, were a fair assessment. The bowl and typewriter were priced higher than he recommended, at retail values of $450 and $550, respectively.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Ask a Worthologist, a service from collectibles database Worthpoint.com, gave us accurate appraisals but was the least convenient to use. Estimates took about a week to return (the site says results can take as long as seven business days). At $20 an item, this was the most expensive service. After submitting our photos,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-bracelets-c-2.html" target="_blank"><b>tiffany bracelets clearance</b></a>, we didn&#8217;t receive confirmation that the appraisal was being processed, which meant we had to follow up on our own. (A confirmation email will soon be available, says founder Will Seippel.)</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">The appraisal for the gilded bowl,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-necklaces-c-5.html" target="_blank"><b>thanksgiving necklaces</b></a>, priced at an auction value of $200, was most accurate, says Mr. Castner. The earrings&#8217; valuation of $175 to $275 was also accurate. The valuations of the typewriter, valued $200 to $355, and earrings featured a useful list of comparable items that were previously sold on eBay.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">We also posted our items on instappraisal.com, a free service that uses site member feedback to help with the appraisal process. Membership is open to the public, but the site says its own appraisers may weigh in. After more than a week, only the gilded bowl contained a comment with an appraisal. The identification and $200 price tag for the bowl is fairly accurate, says Mr. Castner. Of course, holding out for longer can yield more comments from the site&#8217;s expert members.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">While there were some discrepancies between pricing, most of the appraisals were in the same range for at least one of the items. Besides the variety in pricing, there are other drawbacks.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Establishing fakes can be difficult with just a photo. Appraisers at WhatItsWorthToYou.com and AuctionWally.com pointed out that the emblem on the back of our porcelain Meissen bowl is frequently imitated. We would have received a more definite answer if the item were available to examine, says Mr. Castner. And some online appraisals aren&#8217;t accepted for more official requirements like insurance purposes so it&#8217;s important to check with the insurer,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-bracelets-c-2.html" target="_blank"><b>tiffany bracelets for sale</b></a>, Mr. Castner says. He also recommends checking the company&#8217;s credentials to get a more accurate appraisal.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Of course there&#8217;s the intrinsic value too. It was shocking to find that the bowl &#8212; a precious family heirloom &#8212; isn&#8217;t that valuable after all. (See accompanying table &#8212; WSJ Aug. 19, 2010)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Few groups captured the essence of 1980s popular music as well as The Bangles. The group that started in 1981 as a garage band with plenty of rough edges looking to emulate The Beatles and The Byrds became an emblem of all the decade &#8216;s musical excesses. By the mid- &#8217;80s super-slick production, power ballads and synthesizers &#8212; not to mention plenty of big hair &#8212; accompanied the band &#8216;s rise to stardom.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Then in 1989,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-bangles-c-1.html" target="_blank"><b>buy tiffany bangles</b></a>, like an allegory for the era itself, The Bangles simply ceased to exist. The band broke up due to artistic differences as well as personality conflicts. In the 1990s, each Bangle went her separate way while the grunge backlash wiped out what was left of &#8217;80s pop.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">But another decade arrived. The 21st century brought back nostalgia and newfound appreciation for the synthesized sounds and supercharged hooks of the 1980s. And just like that The Bangles we &#8216;re back &#8212; writing, recording and playing live. Last Tuesday, a concert DVD &quot;Return to Bangleonia &quot; was released and prompted a 16-date tour that brings The Bangles to the Orpheum Theatre on Friday. Bangles &#8216; drummer and vocalist Debbi Peterson spoke about the return.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">State Journal: Watching the band on DVD and hearing your commentary, it seems like everything is easier for you now. Is it?</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Peterson: Well, Maturity helps things. It &#8216;s still work. You still have to work at it and you still have to work at the relationships. When you have kids you just go &quot;wow &quot; being in a band is so much easier. Having kids is quite a tough job. I think we all opened our minds a little and we figured out that we know what to do. You can say no to things. You can talk things out and you don &#8216;t have to get so uptight. Older and wiser and all that.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">State Journal: The new DVD was shot in 2000. What &#8216;s been happening since then?</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Peterson: In 1999, we started writing again together and then we went overseas in 2001. In 2004, (bassist) Michael Steele left the band. She just wanted to do her own thing. We all have kids. We &#8216;re all moms, so we &#8216;ve been doing little batches of tours because it &#8216;s kind of hard to do the full-on eight-month tour. The DVD project has been in the works for years. We finally got it all together and got it out.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">State Journal: So who is the new Bangle?</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Peterson: Abby Travis. She &#8216;s been playing with us for a while now. She &#8216;s great. She adds a lot of rock to our set and is a total character. We really like her. She dresses up kind of kooky and is a really good bass player.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">State Journal: There &#8216;s no mistaking a Bangles song when you hear it,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-key-rings-c-9.html" target="_blank"><b>tiffany key rings on sale</b></a>, yet you &#8216;ve never had a problem playing music written by others.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Peterson: We &#8216;ve always been into doing covers. We like to write our own songs &#8212; that &#8216;s the preference &#8212; but we also like a lot of old &#8217;60s songs and we didn &#8216;t want to just shut the door on covering songs. It &#8216;s kind of worked out that most of the big hits are somebody else &#8216;s songs. But I think we personalized them quite well and made them our own.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">State Journal: For the song &quot;Going Down to Liverpool &quot; the video is on YouTube and features a grumpy looking Leonard Nimoy, who directed the clip.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Peterson: That was hilarious. It was a thrill to work with Spock. He was very professional and very quiet. YouTube is amazing. There are things I hadn &#8216;t even seen before that fans had done years ago.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">State Journal: Your husband is British and on the DVD &#8216;s commentary it sounds like you &#8216;ve picked up some of his accent.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Peterson: I tend to pick up accents pretty easy, so there might be a little British accent in there. When (her sister and Bangle guitarist) Vicki and I were growing up, we used to recite &quot;Hard Day &#8216;s Night &quot; so there &#8216;s probably a little bit of that,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-money-clips-c-7.html" target="_blank"><b>tiffany money clip</b></a>, too.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">State Journal: What can people expect at (Friday &#8216;s) show?</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Peterson: Expect a really good time. Don &#8216;t expect little wimpy girls because we like to rock out with a lot of vocals and gnarly guitar playing.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">IF YOU GO</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">What: The Bangles with The Bridges</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Where: Orpheum Thatre, 216 State St.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">When: 8 p.m. Friday</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Admission: $30</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Celebrating a decade dedicated to supporting breast cancer research and awareness programs, Hard Rock International is proud to announce Melissa Etheridge, Oscar(R)( )and two-time GRAMMY(R)( )winner, breast cancer survivor and multi-platinum recording artist, as its official PINKTOBER(TM) program &quot;Artist Ambassador.&quot; The global PINKTOBER program will also be supported by musicians, including The Bangles and Joss Stone in various events worldwide.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">The 2009 PINKTOBER program marks the 10-year anniversary of Hard Rock&#8217;s support of raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research. PINKTOBER includes a series of live music and fundraising events at Hard Rock establishments around the globe, and limited-edition merchandise designed to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">The global launch, featuring Melissa Etheridge, begins on Monday, September 28th, with a three-day long series of interviews and performance based events designed to empower women and survivors. Tuesday, September 29th will feature a performance at Hard Rock Cafe New York, after which Melissa Etheridge will board Delta Air Lines&#8217; &quot;Pink Plane&quot; and perform an acoustic rendition of her hit single &quot;I Run for Life&quot; for breast cancer survivors and fans as they travel to Washington, D.C. to participate in a breast cancer awareness symposium at Hard Rock Cafe Washington, D.C. the following day.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Each event is designed to engage consumers, celebrate survivors, raise awareness and drive funds towards research for the advancement of defenses against and treatments for this disease.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">&quot;I&#8217;m proud and excited to continue my collaboration with Hard Rock International&#8217;s PINKTOBER this year,&quot; said Melissa Etheridge. &quot;This is Hard Rock&#8217;s 10th anniversary supporting global programs aimed towards breast cancer awareness and raising funds for worthy charities and organizations. Having experienced my own personal journey with breast cancer, I&#8217;m thrilled to bring my story and my music to support Hard Rock&#8217;s philanthropic efforts.&quot;</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">In addition to the program&#8217;s powerhouse kickoff, PINKTOBER will also feature live music events and appearances at local-market Hard Rock locations worldwide by other notable established and emerging acts throughout the Fall. The Bangles will perform at Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando, FL,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-bangles-c-1.html" target="_blank"><b>tiffany bangle</b></a>, and an amazing lineup of female acts will grace the stage at the U.K.&#8217;s Royal Albert Hall for Hard Rock&#8217;s PINKTOBER Presents: Women of Rock, including Melanie C, Joss Stone, Jamelia, Bonnie Tyler, Escala, Bananarama, Sharon Corr and Tulisa (N &#8211; Dubz), plus the leading ladies from the West End hit theatre show Mamma Mia. For the full 2009 Hard Rock PINKTOBER artist lineup please visit www.hardrock.com. All events will benefit breast cancer research and awareness organizations.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">&quot;We are proud to embark on our 10th year of helping find a cure for breast cancer,&quot; said Sean Dee, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Hard Rock International. &quot;The answer is out there and together we&#8217;ll find it.&quot;</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Rocking the Season&#8217;s Hottest Color</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">PINKTOBER also includes a not-to-be missed line of apparel and accessories that will benefit the cause. These PINKTOBER products, including a collector&#8217;s edition pin, t-shirt, keychain,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-pendants-c-3.html" target="_blank"><b>discount tiffany Pendants</b></a>, pink sheets and more, will be sold exclusively at Hard Rock properties worldwide, including Cafes, Hotels, Casinos and on www.hardrock.com. Proceeds from the sale of special limited-edition 2009 Hard Rock PINKTOBER merchandise will benefit The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and other local breast cancer related charities, with 75% of the retail price of each pin and 15% of the retail price of each t-shirt, key chain, nightshirt and vest sold going directly to the cause.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">About The Breast Cancer Research Foundation</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">The Breast Cancer Research Foundation(R) was founded in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder as an independent, not-for-profit organization dedicated to funding innovative clinical and translational research.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-top: 0px">The following is a list of 74 new and 2 corrected attributions of authorship of poems, letters, articles, and staff notes appearing in the Gentleman&#8217;s Magazine (hereafter GM) during the years 1737-40. It is a continuation of my reexamination of the first decade of the editorial regime of the GM&#8217;s founder, Edward Cave (1691-1754), begun with my &quot;Attributions of Authorship [. . .], 1731-36 [. . .],&quot; ANQ 21.4 (2008): 11-24. The authorial attributions that follow thus constitute a further supplement to my Attributions of Authorship in the Gentleman&#8217;s Magazine, 1731-1868: An Electronic Union List.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">The GM&#8217;s monthly numbers during 1737-40 were still dominated, as during 1731-36, by excerpts reprinted from the newspaper press, unofficial reconstructions of the parliamentary debates, and a multitude of poems by anonymous or pseudonymous contributors. However, the GM during those years was also beginning to print a modest number of letters to the editor, primarily concerning theological, mathematical, or astronomical topics. The editorial decision to devote a modicum of space each month to correspondents&#8217; letters would be a dramatic harbinger of the future, when the magazine under its second and third conductors, David Henry (1709-92) and John Nichols (1745-1826), would open its pages to a host of letters to the editor on a great variety of topics from the abstruse to the mundane.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Of the nearly four dozen authors whose names appear below, the largest number (fifteen) were clergymen, including two bishops (Thomas Secker and Gilbert Burnet) and several dissenting clergy. Poets and playwrights (including Henry Fielding, Afra Behn, Colley Cibber, and David Garrick) constitute the second- largest group, followed (with some professional overlap) by politicians, mathematicians, physicians, astronomers, and classicists. The philosopher David Hartley was also a contributor, though in the case of his one offering, in his capacity as a physician.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">For the reader&#8217;s convenience, the 76 new or corrected finds are presented first in a chronological listing and, second, in a cross reference by contributor, supplying birth and death dates and the writers&#8217; occupations where possible. Each item in the chronological listing is designated by the letter &quot;A&quot; (article), &quot;L&quot; (letter to the editor), &quot;V&quot; (verses), or &quot;S&quot; (staff note) and consists of the title of the piece, the first line (in the case of verse), the name of the author, the justification for the attribution, and the signature (if any).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-top: 0px">Genial, intractable, unvarnished, in control: these were all equally true of Willie Nelson and Levon Helm on Wednesday night at Radio City Music Hall. Each led his working band, engaging a cross-section of old-time American music, from folk and country to gospel, blues, early jazz, rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll. Both men were radiant with authority and its trickier cousin, authenticity. The difference between them came down to effort.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Mr. Nelson,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-earrings-c-4.html" target="_blank"><b>buy tiffany earrings</b></a>, 77, has long been among the least labored of performers,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-key-rings-c-9.html" target="_blank"><b>tiffany key rings on sale</b></a>, a master of the meaningful half-gesture and the deceptively casual confession. He was true to form on Wednesday,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-cuff-links-c-8.html" target="_blank"><b>tiffany cuff Links for sale</b></a>, initially to a fault. It took him a while to warm up, and the first songs felt hurriedly dispatched.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">&quot;Funny How Time Slips Away&quot; barely had time to unfold before he ducked into &quot;Crazy,&quot; briefly flummoxing his band. &quot;Night Life&quot; was next up, and no less abbreviated. Three of Mr. Nelson&#8217;s incandescent country-music standards had come and gone in a flash. At least he played them.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">He was under no such obligation, after all. A few months back he released &quot;Country Music&quot; (Rounder), a handsomely austere, staunchly tradition-minded album produced by T Bone Burnett. It&#8217;s easily the most focused entry in the recent Willie Nelson discography, and he barely touched it here. (&quot;Nobody&#8217;s Fault but Mine,&quot; the song that closes the album, turned up shortly after the midpoint of the set.)</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Taken as a concept rather than a checklist, though, &quot;Country Music&quot; was well served by this show,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-necklaces-c-5.html" target="_blank"><b>shop for tiffany necklaces</b></a>, which featured a lot of shuffle rhythm and favored wisdom over revelation. Easing into gear with the Family, his sparse and attentive cohort, Mr. Nelson gave the proper airing to songs by Hank Williams, Fred Rose and Lefty Frizzell, along with a few of his own. His guitar playing was clean and coltish &#8212; often he raced ahead of the beat, waited for the others to catch up and then sprinted forward again &#8212; and his singing was typically spry, a nasal twang just lightly abraded with age.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">That&#8217;s one more distinction between Mr. Nelson and Mr. Helm, whose bout with throat cancer a dozen years ago made singing of any sort seem a precious gift. Mr. Helm, 70, sang sparingly here,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-necklaces-c-5.html" target="_blank"><b>discount tiffany necklaces</b></a>, entrusting most of the task to members of the band: his daughter Amy Helm, Teresa Williams, the guitarist Larry Campbell and the keyboardist Brian Mitchell. (Also on keyboards was Donald Fagen of Steely Dan; he sang a bit too.) When Mr. Helm did vocalize, it took the form of a soulful rasp, weathered with cracks.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">His drumming, on the other hand, was as lean as ever, a righteous marvel of concision and grit. He had plenty to work with in the set, with rhythms ranging from country two-step to New Orleans second-line. He played just a bit of mandolin, on &quot;Deep Ellum Blues,&quot; and took the opportunity to throw in some hip-thrusting dance moves. Everything about his presence suggested jubilant exertion.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Closing with &quot;The Weight,&quot; one of his biggest hits with the Band, he brought Mr. Nelson onstage as a guest. This was promising, but Mr. Nelson eschewed the microphone, choosing only to play a meandering guitar solo. Courtesy or complacency? Either way Mr. Nelson was doing his part, but only just passing through.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-top: 0px">While I have been more than happy with the performance and stability of my UK shares, the laggards this year have been my US-listed holdings, just five of them,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-bracelets-c-2.html" target="_blank"><b>tiffany bracelets clearance</b></a>, which account for about 10 per cent of my portfolio.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">I am clearly missing something. In 2009, my UK shares produced a total return of 50.3 per cent, double the FTSE 100&#8242;s 25 per cent. Yet the US portfolio, which held similar shares, managed only 14.5 per cent, not much more than half its benchmark, the S&amp;P 500. This year too, my American shares have continued to disappoint. Returns to date are a negative 12 per cent compared with only minus two per cent on the benchmarks. My UK shares are up one per cent in 2010, reflecting the defensive and high income holdings I have gradually been switching into since last September.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">The reasons for the US underperformance are varied. Some stocks I hold have a very high beta. Advanced Micro Devices, which I bought exactly a year ago as a geared recovery play on news of its $1bn settlement win against Intel, catapulted from $4.40 per share to $10, but has now sagged to just over $6.50. That&#8217;s one of the better stories. So too is the value raid on BP ADRs (American depositary receipts). They were $31 in June and I took profits at $39.75 for half the holding earlier this month. I&#8217;ve been a little unlucky with Anardarko, the oil company partner of Tullow Oil. The stock has recovered to as high as $55 but is still well below the acquisition price of $65 last September. Apache, another oil explorer, continues to languish well below my most recent acquisition price too.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">I have also been disappointed in my biggest US holding, General Electric, which I regard as an exchange traded fund (ETF) for the US economy. I piled into the shares in March 2009, pretty much at the stock market low, at prices varying from $4.99 to $6.91. At first, GE went great guns, getting up to $16 last September. But it hasn&#8217;t moved any higher,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-pendants-c-3.html" target="_blank"><b>pendants</b></a>, though I remain convinced that it will improve.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">However, the real damage was caused by the shorter-term activity in the account,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-pendants-c-3.html" target="_blank"><b>tiffany Pendant</b></a>, and much of this comes down to trying to be too clever. That includes trying to hedge using an inverse SPDR ETF. Somehow I managed to lose heavily on this. Forays into technology stocks such as EMC didn&#8217;t do well in 2009, and overall there was just far too much trading. This year, however, I haven&#8217;t traded very much at all but there is still this nagging underperformance. Quite how to resolve this isn&#8217;t clear. Trying to replicate my UK strategy by going in search of yield would be fine if it were not for US withholding taxes, which crimp the income by 15 per cent (or 30 per cent if you don&#8217;t lodge the &quot;tax alien&quot; paperwork with your US broker). These payments can be offset against UK taxes, but the paperwork is time-consuming. I&#8217;d really prefer to retain growth stocks,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-rings-c-6.html" target="_blank"><b>thanksgiving rings</b></a>, since that is what the US excels in, yet the growth stocks I have chosen just don&#8217;t seem to be performing. Certainly I think that I will have to sell down my holding in Anardarko, and possibly Apache too. While the US shares are dragging the entire portfolio&#8217;s performance down by only one point, it is the niggling investment mistakes I must be making, rather than their size, that worry me. If I don&#8217;t fix them,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-rings-c-6.html" target="_blank"><b>tiffany rings on sale</b></a>, they could be replicated elsewhere on a larger scale.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bemidji boys soccer coach Rick Toward knows that it will take time for his team to play at peak efficiency.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">&quot;We have a brand new group of guys and right now we&#8217;re trying to find ourselves.&quot;</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Saturday the Lumberjacks hosted Hillcrest Lutheran Academy in their second home game in as many days and the Jacks fell to 0-2 after a 2-1 setback.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Friday BHS lost 2-0 to Little Falls.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">&quot;Friday we played as a team for 15 minutes and on Saturday we played that way for 25 minutes. It was an improvement,&quot; Toward said.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">The 25-minute span came at the end of the game and produced Bemidji&#8217;s only goal, a free kick just outside the box by Kyle Fodness with 12:52 remaining in the game.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">HLA scored in the first half and added a goal on a header off a corner kick five minutes into the second stanza. The visitors held an edge for the next 10 minutes but Bemidji began to take control with 25 minutes to play.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">&quot;Right now everybody is looking for somebody else to take charge and be a leader,&quot; Toward said. &quot;What I would like to see is nine, 10 or 11 guys on the field become that leader.&quot;</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Connor McNallan handled the goaltending duties Saturday and stopped 20 shots.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Bemidji will return to action Tuesday when it hosts Detroit Lakes at 4 p.m.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">For the second straight day the girls soccer team posted a one-sided victory. Friday the Jacks slapped Little Falls 6-1 and Saturday they dismantled Walker-Hackensack-Akeley 10-0 in Walker.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Erin Booth had five goals,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-bracelets-c-2.html" target="_blank"><b>bracelets</b></a>, including two in the first half which helped BHS bolt to a 4-0 lead at intermission. Andrea Hanson had the other first-half tallies.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Josie Spry had a pair of goals in the second stanza and Casey Palmer scored one.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Palmer tended the net in the opening period and had three saves. Whitney Morin took over for the final 40 minutes and made one save.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">&quot;We outshot Walker 36-4 and weren&#8217;t truly tested,&quot; said BHS coach Kelly Schoonover. &quot;It was nice to get off to a good start and be 2-0 because it enabled the girls to get comfortable playing with each other.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">&quot;The real test will come Tuesday when we head to Moorhead.&quot;</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">That game is set for a 5 p.m. start. Bemidji&#8217;s next home appearance will be Thursday when it hosts Detroit Lakes at 5 p.m.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Steph Frey finished second in the 200 IM and third in the 100 breast to lead the girls swimming and diving team at Saturday&#8217;s season-opening action at the Willmar Invitationa.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">In addition to BHS and the home team the meet attracted St. Cloud Tech, Melrose, Sauk Centre and Minnewaska-Morris.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Jana Hendstrom earned second place in the diving as did Lexie Hendricks in the 500 free.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Placing fifth for the Jacks was the 400 free relay team of Hendricks, Maris Jahner, Alicia Papke-Larson and Frey.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Hendricks was fifth in the 200 free as was Erin Arndt in the 200 IM and the medley relay unit of Papke-Larson, Frey, Jahner and Katie Krause.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Bemidji will return to action Tuesday at Brainerd.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Bemidji scored 27 points and trailed only Hibbing at Saturday&#8217;s eight-team Crookston Invitational.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Hibbing won with 37 points while Park Rapids scored 20, Thief River Falls 17, East Grand?Forks 15, Crookston 13, Moorhead 11 and Perham 0.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Jessica Solberg took the title at second singles. Claiming seconds were Courtne Solberg at first singles, Amy Frosaker at third plus the second doubles tandem of Claire Baumgartner and Haley Pollock.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Placing third were Claudia Bellew at fourth singles, Katie Ditmanson and Emma Nielsen at first doubles and the third doubles unit of Jenna Lee, Lauren Lund and Francesca Huerd.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">BHS?will be at the Brainerd Invitational Monday.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">The Bemidji volleyball team overcame the loss of power hitter Jess Yost Friday to outlast Perham 3-2 in the season opener at Perham.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Only three points into the match Yost sustained a high ankle sprain and she spent the rest of the night on the sidelines.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Her teammates,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/" target="_blank"><b>tiffany</b></a>, however, were able to hang on for a 25-15,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-pendants-c-3.html" target="_blank"><b>pendants</b></a>, 30-28, 16-25,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/charm-bracelet-p-37.html" target="_blank"><b>Charm bracelet</b></a>, 17-25, 16-14 marathon victory.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">&quot;It was an amazing match,&quot; said BHS coach Teresa Colligan. &quot;It was a long night but winning that fifth set was a good way to end it.&quot;</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Jenna Sagedahl contributed 43 set assists and Kellie Morehouse converted 16 of them into winning kills.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Allie Heifort had 12 kills and five blocks and Liz Hirt added 10 kills and two aces.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Caitlin Hadrava finished with six kills, four blocks and two aces. Nicole McDonald also had a pair of aces.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Meghan Wannebo had 41 digs while Hirt had 28 and Sagedahl 20.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">&quot;The team faced adversity from the beginning of the match Friday but their performance was a testament to their character,&quot; Colligan said.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">The Jacks return to action Thursday when they host Detroit Lakes at 7:15 p.m.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">The BHS cross-country teams will head west Monday as the boys and girls squads take part in the Moorhead Invitational starting at 10 a.m.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">Bemidji&#8217;s boys team returns seniors Andy Berube, John Buckanaga, Alex Schoneberger and Jake Urban plus junior Dan Clemenson from last fall&#8217;s section team.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px">The girls team will be led by senior Bailey Drewes and junior Kim Truedson. Jenna Truedson,<a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-watches-c-21.html" target="_blank"><b>watches</b></a>, an eighth grader, also is expected to be among Bemidji&#8217;s top performers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A former trooper accused of having sexual communications with the <a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/"><strong>discount tiffany</strong></a> daughter of another Florida Highway Patrol employee was sentenced to 18 months  in state prison Wednesday.</p>
<p>James E. Gilbert, 46, had pleaded no contest to 10 counts of solicitation of  a minor via a computer.</p>
<p>During a more than two-hour hearing Wednesday, Gilbert told Orange Circuit  Court Judge Marc Lubet that he was sorry.</p>
<p>&#8220;I feel bad for what I did,&#8221; Gilbert said. &#8220;What I did was wrong.&#8221;</p>
<p>But Lubet also questioned how truly remorseful Gilbert is and found him  guilty. The <a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-necklaces-c-5.html">Tiffany  Necklaces</a> also sentenced him to eight years&#8217; sex-offender probation. Gilbert  will have to register as a sex offender.</p>
<p>Gilbert was a trooper with FHP for more than 15 years when he was arrested in  December 2008.</p>
<p>He was accused of sending hundreds of text messages, some sexual in nature,  to a 17-year-old during a span of around two weeks.</p>
<p>In a statement filed earlier in court, the girl&#8217;s mother said Gilbert talked  about taking the teen to a cabin in Tennessee where they would &#8220;take things  slow.&#8221;</p>
<p>The teen told an investigator she told Gilbert he shouldn&#8217;t talk to her that  way. She said Gilbert responded by saying things such as, &#8220;It&#8217;s your choice,  even if anybody found out, if I still want to do something or if you did, nobody  can stop us; there&#8217;s nothing wrong with it.&#8221;</p>
<p>On Wednesday, Gilbert said he didn&#8217;t have any intention of following through  <a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-rings-c-6.html">Tiffany Rings</a> any of the statements he made to the teen.</p>
<p>The victim, now 18, attended today&#8217;s sentencing, and her attorney told the  judge that she is afraid of Gilbert and thought his testimony was angry and  resentful.</p>
<p>Lubet said he didn&#8217;t think Gilbert posed a future threat to the public. Lubet  also said he felt the 10 years Gilbert potentially faced were too harsh given  the circumstances.</p>
<p>He noted Gilbert had a stellar record as a <a href="http://www.discountiffany.com/tiffany-key-rings-c-9.html">Tiffany Key  Rings</a> and didn&#8217;t have a prior criminal history.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Investors bought more gold than buyers of jewellery for the first time in  three decades in 2009, highlighting the increasing impact of speculators on  bullion prices.</p>
<p>GFMS, the consultancy that compiles benchmark supply and demand data on the  metal, <a href="http://www.sterlingtiffany.com/"><strong>tiffany jewelry</strong></a> yesterday said that investment demand doubled to 1,820 tonnes last year, while  jewellery purchases fell 23 per cent to 1,687 tonnes, a 21-year low.</p>
<p>The data provide the clearest indication of the big role investors played in  driving gold to a record high of $1,226.10 a troy ounce in December.</p>
<p>Philip Klapwijk, executive chairman of GFMS, told the Financial Times he  sensed that a &#8220;large amount of money&#8221; was poised to enter the gold market this  year. He predicted a &#8220;bumpy&#8221; return to record prices by the summer on the back  of loose fiscal and monetary policies and US dollar weakness.</p>
<p>Mr Klapwijk warned that although investors could buy more gold this year, the  market would become &#8220;increasingly vulnerable&#8221; to a big correction when the  circumstances favouring investment disappeared.</p>
<p>&#8220;As the macroeconomic environment gradually normalises, the gold market&#8217;s  dependence on investment will become all too apparent with a substantial price  retreat at that point on the cards,&#8221; Mr Klapwijk said.</p>
<p>The surge in gold prices, from $250 an ounce in 1999 to last year&#8217;s record,  has depressed <a href="http://www.sterlingtiffany.com/product-16.html"><strong>tiffany money  clips</strong></a> jewellery sales, traditionally the backbone of consumption. Gold  was trading yesterday at $1,128 a troy ounce.</p>
<p>The global economic crisis has also affected demand, particularly in India,  the world&#8217;s largest buyer.</p>
<p>GFMS said jewellery demand had fallen by almost half since reaching a peak of  3,294 tonnes in 1997.</p>
<p>Traders said gold prices need to drop below $1,000 an ounce to ensure a  revival in jewellery demand, as the currencies of key consuming countries such  as India and Turkey depreciate against the dollar, increasing the local cost of  bullion.</p>
<p>On the supply side, China cemented its position as the world&#8217;s biggest gold  producer. A further fall in South Africa&#8217;s output, down 5 per cent on the year,  saw it relegated to third position behind Australia. It had been the top  producer for more than a century until 2007.</p>
<p>In total, global mine supply rose 6 per cent to 2,553 tonnes, a six-year  high, helped by a <a href="http://www.sterlingtiffany.com/product-17.html"><strong>tiffany  pendants</strong></a> jump in output from Indonesia.</p>
<p>Net sales from central banks dropped 90 per cent to 24 tonnes in 2009, the  lowest level in more than two decades.</p>
