Winston Churchill on AV: "The plan that they have adopted is the worst of all possible plans. It is the stupidest, the least scientific and the most unreal that the Government have embodied in their Bill. The decision of 100 or more constituencies, perhaps 200, is to be determined by the most worthless votes given for the most worthless candidates. That is what the Home Secretary told us to-day was 'establishing democracy on a broader and surer basis.' Imagine making the representation of great constituencies dependent on the second preferences of the hindmost candidates. The hindmost candidate would become a personage of considerable importance, and the old phrase, 'Devil take the hindmost,' will acquire a new significance. "This method is surely the child of folly, and will become the parent of fraud. Neither the voters nor the candidates will be dealing with realities. An element of blind chance and accident will enter far more largely into our electoral decisions than even before, and respect for Parliament and Parliamentary processes will decline lower than it is at present."
Winston Churchill's view on first past the post wasn't exactly complimentary when he spoke in 1909:
The present system has clearly broken down. The results produced are not fair to any party, nor to any section of the community. In many cases they do not secure majority representation, nor do they secure an intelligent representation of minorities. All they secure is fluke representation, freak representation, capricious representation.
Though do remember that by contemporary tabloid newspaper standards Churchill was an army-insulting, anti-Christian foreigner. And that's without mentioning the drinking or depression…

Happy 'National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy'
A whopping 34 percent of young women become pregnant at least once before they reach the age of 20 -- about 820,000 a year. Eight in ten of these teen pregnancies are unintended, and 79 percent are to unmarried teens.
Bill Albert, spokesman and chief program officer of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, says that all this emphasizes how important it is to discuss relationships, love, sex, pregnancy and family formation with your kids sooner rather than later. "This should be the eighteen-year discussion that never ends," Albert stresses.
Rather than sitting kids down at 14 or 15 and explaining the "birds and the bees" in one long, awkward conversation (which Albert feels isn't effective, anyway), he says parents should start these conversations earlier than they think. "I'm not saying you need to discuss contraceptives with an 8-year-old," he says, "but that is a good time to start discussing what a good relationship is, and how to respect a boy or a girl."
When it comes to communicating with your kids about love and sex, Albert says that it's important to take baby steps and to send small signals over a long period of time. "You would never ignore how a kid does in school from kindergarten to seventh grade, [then] suddenly come up to him in eighth grade and say, 'You have to take school seriously.' That's a message you send kids over years and years," he says. "Discussions about love, sex, pregnancy and family formation are really the same way. It's critical to send age-appropriate signals at different times."
When moms do discuss love and sex, are kids even listening? Yes, says Albert. "All the polls and studies that have been done indicate that the people who most influence teens' decisions about love and sex are not their friends, or their boyfriends or girlfriends ... it's their parents," he explains. "Teens are yearning for your guidance from you, even if it doesn't seem like they are."
As much as i understand where you are coming from, i don't think teen pregnancies are too much of a big deal as long as the teens stay together and do as much as they can with their baby, parents shouldn't kick out their child for making mistake as they wouldn't tell you about it unless they needed your help… they will learn from the mistakes… i know i may be a minor in this conversation and i may be a little bias as i was also a teen who was pregnant, i have been with my husband for 8 years now and my little girl hope is very healthy. As soon as i found out i was pregnant i ran to my mother she admitted it was a big thing and helped me all the way… me and my boyfriend got married 4 months later and both sides of our family have been a great help, i couldn't have done it with out them, listen to your child as my mother listened to me tell then the consequences and let them make their own decision to keep or get rid, if you can help your child through something like that i know you will be a great grandparent. Thankyou for reading.

text: I own a 1998 Mustang. I loaned it to my brother, 9mths later, I found the car on a tow lot and heading for auction. He ran my car so hard and neglected it so much that it was unrecognizable to me. I was absolutely devastated. I love my Mustang so much and "Betty" (Betty is her nickname)has been nothing but faithful since the day that I bought her. The thought of "her" being on a tow truck kills me. Once I composed myself at the impound lot, it was time to see if "Betty" was finally coming home or if this was our final farewell. I handed the key to the tow truck driver, he popped the hood, connected the battery cables and it was time to see if "she" would start. Within minutes of being faced with a flood of emotions, I heard the sweetest growl coming from "Betty" as she fired right up. I have pictures of what 'she' looked like before I loaned "her" to my brother and pictures of the horrible condition that I got "her" back in. I just wanted to write to you and let you know that I stand behind Ford and will continue to only own Ford vehicles. "Betty" is by far, the best vehicle that I have ever owned. "She's" not very pretty right now, but slowly, we are trying to bring her back and made her beautiful like she was before. The phrase, "Built Ford Tough" has a whole new meaning to me! Thank goodness for such a strong vehicle! If this was any other car, it would not have survived this neglect. She is in need of a paint job, new window tint, 2 new tires, new Ford rims (the orignial rims are ruined from him hitting curbs) and new seats (the leather was slashed) and much, much more. I am just thankful that I found my car and 'she' lived up to the Ford name and continues to every day! Thank you , Ford, for making such wonderful, strong and safe vehicles. Please keep me in your thoughts as I slowly rebuild my "Betty". Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Brown sugar soy sauce cake: Gooey, citrusy, delish
Perusing the aisles at Rockridge Market Hall, one of my favorite local markets, I recently came across a beautiful little bottle of soy sauce: a product to which I don't usually give much attention. But this decorated label magnetized me with phrases like "small batch", "non-GMO", "limestone filtered spring water", and "brewed and aged in bourbon barrels". And the description of the taste captivated me the most: "hints of oak and a mild sweetness reminiscent of fine Kentucky bourbon." With those words, I decided this soy sauce was destined to be part of my next dessert recipe.
Like most soy sauce, my new bottle was pleasantly rich, salty, and a bit malty at once. With its special robust flavor, I couldn't think of a better match than molasses-rich dark brown sugar, and a moist skillet cake would offer a perfect format. For complementary complexity, I embellished and enhanced the cake with tangy, bright oranges and plenty of vanilla. To top it all off, the interplay of brown sugar, butter and salt would spontaneously create a sort of succulent butterscotch, present in every rich bite. Here is the recipe. … Continue reading »
Pea and peppermint cake: Delightfully different
For the new year, maybe you decided to eat more vegetables, or you're craving green foods after a season of richer meals. Or, perhaps you didn't resolve to do anything new, but you appreciate a little adventure in the kitchen. Allow me to introduce a delicious dessert whose ingredients include a heap of unlikely vegetables: green peas.
Frozen peas are my back-up for fresh veggies, and the kind I buy come in a bag that boasts, "Naturally sweet!" Despite those truthful italic words, I usually mask the peas' sweetness with a bit of sea salt or parmesan cheese, serving them as a savory side. But then again, I've done the same thing with carrots, zucchini and pumpkin — and if these can make much-adored sweets, why not give peas a chance?
So I finally paired my sweet peas with sugar, flour and vanilla — along with plenty of fresh peppermint leaves and a bit of tangy lemon zest. The result was a delicious and refreshing cake, bursting with minty citrus and sweet herbal undertones. Here is the recipe: … Continue reading »
Tomato spice cake: A seasonal sweet
It's been hard not to notice the abundance of tomatoes in season lately. I've seen vibrant varieties of colors and shapes at farmers markets, grocery stores and gardens of green-thumbed friends. They whisper that summer is sneaking away as the magic of autumn awaits us. They offer a burst of life and color while the sky gets a little bit darker each day. … Continue reading »
Got leftover lemonade? Try this summer cake
Lemonade is a quintessential summertime drink — it's almost hard to imagine an outdoor event without it. I recently found myself with a jug of leftover lemonade in my fridge, luring me in with its tart sweetness every time I opened the door. I'd take a little sip here and there, but more than anything, I felt compelled to turn it into a refreshing summer dessert.
Cake recipes nearly always rely on both liquid and sugar, so I decided to create one using the lemonade to help fill these roles. Since Meyer lemons are soft with a milder texture than the standard kind, it was their pretty slices that I pictured on the cake from the beginning. While this recipe is delicious without any embellishments, adding a sprinkle of sweet corn can bring to mind another summer staple, or a handful of coconut can add a tropical flare. … Continue reading »

Hibiscus pistachio meringues: Perfect summer treat
One of my favorite summer drinks is a simple brew made from a stunning crimson flower. Tart and refreshing on a warm afternoon, iced hibiscus is tangy and floral, delicious with a squeeze of lime and a bit of sweetness.
To celebrate hibiscus in an unusual, edible form, I recently decided to transform my red beverage into a tangy syrup and whip it into meringue for baking. Enhanced with citrus zest and sprinkled with bright green pistachios, the little, light cookies proved to be beautiful and delicious: a perfect summer treat.
Hibiscus Pistachio Meringues (makes about 125 meringues)
¾ cup boiling water¾ cup dried hibiscus petals, divided
3 ounces shelled pistachio nuts
1 lemon or lime
1 tablespoon clear corn syrup
¾ cup + 1 tablespoon sugar
3 egg whites (about 3/8 cup)
red food coloring or beet powder, optional
salt for sprinkling (if nuts are unsalted)
candy thermometer … Continue reading »

Coffee and spirits: The Firelit cake
When I was given a bottle of Firelit Coffee Liqueur recently, I was quick to open it and inhale its superior scent: sweet, strong and surely made with top-notch brandy and local coffee. Produced and bottled at a revered artisan distiller nearby, the liqueur was undoubtedly delicious on its own. But it also allured me with its promise of warming up a new dessert creation. In a brown sugar batter with brewed coffee, almond flour and bits of fruit, the potion proved to make a victorious cake.
Firelit coffee liqueur cake (makes an 8″ round; serves 10-12)
– 1 ¼ cup coffee liqueur, divided
– 1 cup raisins
– ¾ cup dark brown sugar
– 2/3 cup vegetable oil
– 2 eggs
– 1/2 cup strong coffee, cooled
– 1 and 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
– 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
– ½ teaspoon salt
– 1 cup almond meal
– finely grated zest of one orange … Continue reading »
Mango meringue pie with coconut macadamia crust
I love this time of year at the market, when mountains of fragrant mangoes seem to surround me as I shop. Mangoes lure me in with their promise of sweetness and a juicy, tropical taste.
When I thought about making a mango confection recently, I was skeptical at first. Could they be any better than they are plain? Would their natural sweetness make for a wince-inducing, sugary dessert? After much thought and experimentation, I decided to pair my mangoes with a crispy graham crust full of macadamias, coconut and lime. Then I slathered the creation with fluffy vanilla meringue and toasted it like a marshmallow. The result was a perfect spring treat, and it disappeared before I knew it. … Continue reading »

Gin and tonic cake: A cocktail turned confection
Herbal and effervescent, a gin and tonic is known as one of the most refreshing concoctions in existence. I'm not sure why the drink has been on my mind lately; perhaps it's the recent surge of warm weather, or more likely, my own need for invigoration. Whatever the reason, I was quick to transform the classic cocktail into a fresh dessert – first in my mind, then in my kitchen. After all, why not have your gin and eat it, too? … Continue reading »
Perfect for Valentine's Day: Rosewater cupcakes
When I recently came across candied rose berries at a favorite market of mine, I couldn't help but stop in my tracks. The pastel pink beads sparkled with sweetness, and their scent was alluringly delicate and floral. Immediately inspired, I decided that these candies needed a dessert to both match and celebrate their exquisite qualities.
I could already see the cupcake crowns awaiting them in a delicious and dainty future. I wanted to be sure to avoid making the kind of pungent rose fare that can evoke perfume or soap, so I decided to pair rosewater with buttermilk, adding lemon to heighten the buttermilk's creamy tang. The resulting batter was just what I'd hoped for: a welcome hint of rose in an all-around delicate dessert. … Continue reading »
Turkish coffee meringues: flavorful and fragrant
I've always thought of Turkish coffee as a special-occasion sort of drink. It's not just coffee: it's extra-rich coffee that's often spiced, sweetened and presented in pretty little mugs.
Then there's the way Turkish coffee is prepared. The coffee beans are ground into a very fine powder, then brewed filter-free using ornate metal pots made just for the process. Finally, the water nearly bubbles over the edge before the scrumptious concoction is ready.
Having only had it at friends' houses and Turkish restaurants, I admit I may not have a grasp of authentic Turkish coffee. But the versions I've tasted have been distinct and delicious enough to remember with fondness and a craving for more. Not surprisingly, the brew has also often left me daydreaming of its rebirth as a dessert.
So I finally created these candy-like cookies in its honor. … Continue reading »

ANGEL FACE: Word has it Georgia May Jagger will be the next face of Thierry Mugler's Angel — following in the footsteps of her mother Jerry Hall, who famously fronted the fragrance in the mid-Nineties. A spokeswoman for Clarins Fragrance Group, owner of the Mugler brand, had no comment.
Jagger was recently was spotted at the Paris cabaret revue Mugler Follies, which is the brainchild of Mugler the designer (who now goes by his real first name Manfred).
The popular model has appeared in ads for the likes of German jewelry brand Thomas Sabo, U.K. makeup label Rimmel and Hudson Jeans.
Eva Mendes, Angel's current face, has a contract with Mugler that runs through June.

Effective January 1, 2003
An acceptable gun safe, as defined by Section 977.50 of the CA Code of
Regulations, is either one of the following:
2. A gun safe that meets ALL of the following standards:
In summary, here are quick reference tables of CA requirements for handgun and long gun
sales and transfers:
Retail Sales
Private Party Transfers
Intra-Family Transfers
Pawn Returns
The following is a list of categories of persons and offenses that make it illegal
for you to own a gun in CA. Ive tried to make this list as clear and simple as
possible. But, where specific Penal Code (PC) and Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC)
sections are unavoidably referenced, go to the Dangerous Weapons Control Law section of
the CA DOJ web site at http://caag.state.ca.us/firearms/index.html
to find and read them. They are way too lengthy and full of legalese to include
State of CA Firearms Prohibiting Categories
Unless otherwise stated, if you fall into any of the following categories you are
prohibited from possessing a firearm in CA for life.
Firearms Prohibiting Misdemeanors
Any person convicted of any of the following misdemeanors is prohibited from owning a
firearm in CA for 10 years following the conviction.
Miscellaneous Information
Armed Prohibited Persons File
This builds a database of everyone in CA who has registered a firearm of any kind since
January 1, 1991. The purpose of this database is to match everyone who falls within a
"firearms disqualifying category" in CA with those who own firearms. So, if you
are convicted of any of the 40 felonies or misdemeanors listed above that disqualify you
from owning a firearm in CA, you could be ordered to surrender all your firearms.
Prohibited Persons Notice Form and Power of Attorney for Firearms Transfer and
If you commit any one of 40 different crimes listed above (and were caught
and convicted), a number of which are misdemeanors and have nothing to do with firearms
including getting a restraining order filed against you by almost anyone you
have to get rid of all of your firearms. Thats nothing new, though. Its just
that no one ever had to tell you about it before. What this bill does is require
all CA State Courts, Firearms Dealers, and Mental Health Facilities to provide you with a
form that informs you that you must dispose of all your firearms and how. So, how does
this work. Well, as far as the courts are concerned, if youre convicted of one of
the disqualifying crimes, the court must immediately provide you with a copy of this form.
For firearms dealers, if you try to buy a gun dont pass the DOJ background check,
the dealer has to now provide you with one of these forms. Strangely enough, mental health
facilities are only "encouraged" to provide this form to a mentally ill person
upon their release.
Now for the form itself. The title of the form is "Power of Attorney
Declaration For Firearms Transfer and Disposal". What this means is, once you are
handed this form you must find a third party who can legally possess firearms (although it
doesnt say how promptly), fill it out, have it witnessed, and assign "Power of
Attorney" to that person. They then must take control and possession of all your
firearms and dispose of them as they see fit within 30 days. By the way, theres no
requirement to compensate you for the value of your guns. A small loophole, though, is
that there doesnt seem to be any requirement for verification that you actually got
rid of your guns. For example, if a firearms dealer hands you the form you just walk out
the door with it. The dealer isnt required to verify you actually did anything with
it or report to anyone that you were given the form. As for the courts, I guess a judge
could require you to return the completed form at some point, but nothing is mentioned
about that either. Basically, the whole thing seems to rather poorly thought out and
provides no means of enforcement. On the other hand, if youre in the database I just
mentioned above, they could, theoretically, come after your firearms before you can even
get around to the "power of attorney" option. Ive already read about this
happening a number of times, so don't discount it. If you want to see a copy of the
form, go to the DOJ web site at http://www.ag.ca.gov/firearms/.
If you have any questions about any of this, feel free to e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com
and Ill try to help you out.

really disappointed that I go to King Soopers, once again, only to find every item listed on here that had a coupon deal completely gone. 1. shaving cream 2. sugar 3. pasta sauce 4. baby wipes 5. babybel cheese, etc. I want a good deal just like the rest of us but it's hard to do when the few others out there take everything off the shelf. these deals will come around again so why buy 20-40 at one time? I'm only looking to get four total, six if I have extra coupons. this wasn't just one day I went shopping or even to only one store, I've been going back to different stores for two weeks now during the Buy 5 Save $5 and every time it's the same story, out of stock.
Same thing goes with the newspapers at the Dollar Tree stores, and I bet these people also order coupons online too but they want 20-30 papers each. Some of us cannot make it out to the stores right away to use our coupons or buy the papers so please leave some for the next customer.
On another note, the manager at King Soopers told me that they have to start limiting the amount of items the couponers are buying so that they don't clear the shelves during one trip. She said it's getting really bad and it can change the way coupons are used. I really hate to hear that and I've noticed that more and more stores are becoming more strict on their coupon policies. We have to keep it nice, simple and clean everyone!

love this!! I went and repurchase it, but ended up picking up the diamonds intense, as it just came out at the time. its a lovely mixture between fruity and sweet. And ofcourse... i LOVE beyonce!!
When I first sprayed this, I absolutely hated it (smelt a little bit like nail varnish remover) but I gave it an hour or so and it smelt absolutely divine, the raspberry and lychee remaining detectable but not overpowering. The lasting power was also pretty good - three sprays lasted 6 hours which doesn't happen very often for me. I'm going to treasure the bottle I have now but don't think that it's the kind of perfume I'll go back to again and again (it's a bit too sweet for summer and too fruity for winter).
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
this perfume is sweet and its long lasting.all i could smell after the dry down is syntecthic smell and its a bit boring because the fragrance stays the same,it doesnt change that much.
after about 2 weeks of spraying this i dont like the smell anymore maybe its just me because i got bored with perfume easily. i just feel a bit sick and got a little headache when i smell this fragrance now. this fragrance is not bad, its just me being fussy i think.
oh and i NEVER get compliments when i wear this perfume.
I like this fragrance a lot, and I always get loads of compliments when I wear it, but I really feel this smells better on others than it does on me. It also depends on how warm I am, if Im cold, I feel that this is far too cloying and sweet, but it is fine when I am warm (mad I know). I do love it, and I will buy again, I love the bottle and it lasts for ages, but I might just keep for the warmer months.

This for me, is one of those scents that it's like love at first sniff, BUT then because it's so strong and overpowering& sweet I became kind of sick of it. I get headaches really easily with perfumes.this is a great fragrance for evenings(going out maybe). the smell is sweet and makes me think of bubblegum. Staying power is fine, 4-5 hours i'd say.
This perfume is fabulous!!! The design of the bottle is beautiful, and the scent is too! It's a little overbearing when overused, but can work as a day to day scent. It's been my favorite since it came out!

I got this as a present-- really loved it at first whiff.
It is a very fresh fragrance but I consider it quite overbearing and strong at the moment, I wear it when I want a break from my signature scent.
Love the bottle though-- HAWT!
Beautiful Perfume, i smelt this on my sister and asked her what it was and went straight out and bought it.. I love the smell very fresh not over powering. i have the perfume rather than eau de toilette and i really did notice the diffrence between the two when testing them worth the exta few bucks for the perfume. My new HG Fragrance.
Amazing! Gorgeous! Feminine fragrance that lasts & lasts! Men go GAGA for this stuff! I love it :)
5 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is my signature fragrance. I love the Armani scents and prior to this I wore Mania followed by Code - weirdly enough, as they are all so different, I know I will be safe with Armani fragrances as they are never too sweet or too girly or too floral, anything like that, neither do they smell like men's aftershave. They are womanly, sexy scents.
Armani Diamonds comes in a bottle shaped like, ahem, a 'diamond'. This is my least favourite aspect of this perfume! It looks a bit tacky all things considered - I would rather have a smooth, classic bottle shape. And the silver lid feels a bit cheap and collects thumb prints. But it's the smell that is important and this one is delicious. According to The Perfume Shop, the scents in this are heart notes of 'rose, lily of the valley, patchouli and freesia.' Well, I don't tend to like floral scents but this one is lovely and you honestly cannot smell any of those things in it really! Rose?! Nope, I'm not getting that even after it has faded for a few hours. The top notes are 'raspberry and lychee.' This sounds more realistic. You genuinely can smell lychee on your skin when you spritz it on! Base notes are 'vetiver (no idea), amber, vanilla' which accounts for the warmness after the initial sharp freshness.
It is so hard to describe a 'smell' in a review! All I can say is that it is sweet without being too sweet, more fruity than floral and incredibly 'moreish' if that makes sense - and I always get compliments when I wear it, always!! People ask what it is all the time. Anyway i just recommend going and having a sniff! It is the perfect day to night perfume.
I want to experiement more, I love the Chloe scent for example and I have a gorgeous Vera Wang Princess to use up, but the boyfriend has got too used to this and wants me to stick to it 'so he can recognise me in a dark crowded room.' ?! Boys are great, aren't they. Luckily, I like smelling like diamonds :)

Grow Your Assets With These Asset Management Companies

With recovery in the global economy and volatility in the global equity, bond, and currency market, demand is increasing for fund management companies. These companies, with their expertise and distinctive strategies, are managing and advising individuals as well as corporations. For these services, the companies charge fees which are considered the main source of revenue.

How Central Bank Decisions Affect Hedge Funds
By Vanina Egea - June 15, 2013 | Tickers: BLK, BEN, LM
Last week, the Bank of Japan's decision to maintain its monetary easing policy wasn't taken at face value by the markets. The fear is that central banks could start to unwind some positions and reduce asset purchases. The Bank of Japan's resolution caused the yen to rise against the dollar and pushed stocks lower.

Mutual Fund Companies Make Good Investments Too
By David Dierking - June 6, 2013 | Tickers: AB, BEN, IVZ, JNS, TROW
Millions of investors use mutual funds for retirement or to pay for college tuition. What many of them don't realize is that the mutual fund companies themselves are publicly traded companies that can be invested in too.
Some of them make compelling investments. Despite the lower management fees and the presence of alternative lower-cost options like ETFs, mutual fund money management remains a multi-trillion dollar industry. As long as more »

Should Investors Buy the Asset Managers on Rebounding Equity Flows?
By Mark Holder - February 13, 2013 | Tickers: BEN, JNS, LM, TROW
After years of outflows from equity funds should investors finally invest in the asset managers as the money starts flowing back? One key to the equation is that most of the money flowed into bond funds that have low average fees placing an importance on finding the asset managers with the least exposure to bond funds. Or at least the ones that will see those funds rotate into equity funds more »

This Industry's Best Value
By Chad Henage - December 13, 2012 | Tickers: SCHW, BEN, TROW
I know that some investors are willing to buy multiple stocks from the same industry if they find each of the companies attractive. However, I fall into the camp that I want diversification, but I would rather choose the very best of an industry and put my money into that one stock. Brokerage and investment companies seem like good opportunities since they benefit from the need to grow wealth over time. Since very few people can grow their assets without investing in stocks or bonds, in theory these companies should do well over time. Looking at the different options, it seems like T. Rowe Price (NASDAQ: TROW) could be the best value at the current time.
Can You Manage Big Gains with These 4 Companies?
By Chad Henage - October 29, 2012 | Tickers: BLK, BEN, IVZ, TROW
Certain industries almost act like counter-cyclicals. In plain English, these companies do well once the economy is moving along at a good pace, and things are generally good. However, in order to really benefit from the higher profits these companies produce during these times, you have to be willing to buy their shares when no one else wants to. One of the primary industries that acts in this fashion is more »

Insiders Are Buying Up This High-Flying Investment Management Firm

Just Wait for the Turn, This Will Rock!
By Chad Henage - July 31, 2012 | Tickers: BLK, BEN, LM, STT
In an equity environment like we have had the last few months, it's not surprising that a company such as BlackRock (NYSE: BLK) would have trouble increasing earnings by a tremendous amount. I've looked at multiple asset managers in the past, and found that they each have their own strengths and weaknesses. At this point, it appears that BlackRock's biggest weakness is the equity market itself. That's a good problem to have, in the sense that the company is not underperforming, as much as they're waiting for the market to turn. You can see across each division, the strength in the company's organic business.
This is Good Investment Advice!

The timeless investment strategy advocated by the world's greatest investors is value investing followed by a buy-and-hold approach.

Random Happenings In The World Of Motorsport
Formula One: For those in this country who continue to follow F1-and judging by the ratings, there aren't many-the 2009 season will be one of the most memorable for a whole host of bizarre reasons. Aside from the daily nonsensical exploits of Mr. Max and King Bernie, it's been one scandal after another. The latest involves accusations of crashing for cash in order to fix races. For those who usually only recognize the names of Ferrari, McLaren or Renault, the recent second place of one G. Fisichella at Spa in his Force India will truly be baffling. As my neighbor said, "I went to the kitchen for a beer and came back to these funny names." They read like a 9-year-old's AYSO team. There is a serious effort underway for India to get a circuit built to hold an F1 race (South Korea is also raising funding); some are against it. The Minister of Sport does not consider F1 a sport but entertainment, and has refused to fund the approximate $37 million, payable to Bernie's Formula One Administration. Seems the King didn't dig the Minister's words. To quote Eccelstone: "That's his view. The rest of the world thinks it is a sport." No, Bernie, most of the world thinks F1 is a scandal.
Grand AM And ALMS: The Indianapolis Motor Speedway always seems to be in the news, whether it's the good (the 500, the 400, MotoGP), the bad (banishment of former honcho Tony George), and now the weird. Grand Am held an "official" test at the Brickyard for its Daytona prototurtles and some of the GT warriors. This quickly generated the usual class warfare, as those who saw the invite connected to the France family's little operation known as NASCAR, and those who would rather see the ALMS. The sight of a Peugeot 908 hurtling down the straight with an Audi or Acura tucked in behind would make for great television. What wouldn't be a good image for either series would be the miles of empty rows of seats. Even the size of the crowd that regularly shows up for the ALMS opener at Sebring would be dwarfed by the Brickyard. The test run at Indy was a win for Grand Am as any positive news is good news for a series that, while competitive, just isn't all that technically interesting.
Touring Car: There has never been any real consensus as to why a official touring car series cant succeed in the U.S. of A. Many countries have national series; DTM is huge in Germany and considered mandatory for manufacturers like Audi. The British have their BTCC and those on-track battles have entered into legend. The Aussies have a crash-and-bash fest that's unique in its running commentary-"He was in my way, so I put him off, mate!" A strong case can be made that NASCAR was our official touring car series at one time, but that's hardly true today. The "car of tomorrow" is still the joke of today, and if the graphics are removed only the most knowledgeable can tell one entry from another.
A proper touring car starts with a real chassis and the exterior matches the product that sits on the showroom floor at the local dealer. It isn't a case of just bolting in a roll cage; today's touring ride is a serious racecar and constructed as such. If the FIA wasn't so damn difficult to get along with, it would be an interesting experiment to host two rounds of the World Touring Car Championship, one on the East Coast and then the West Coast. If BMW is the ultimate driving machine (subject to financing and a good credit report), what Bimmer dealer couldn't get behind the return of Alex Zanardi to America aboard a Munich tourer? -Kerry Morse

Capdase USB Car Charger is superb & works fine with my iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4. LED power indicator and build quality makes it the best car charger. :)
Nothing to say about Flipkart, everyone know its awesome service and as promised product reached within 3 business days. Keep Rocking.
I've used this charger and found it very convenient to use .All you have to do is just insert it in the cigarette lighter attachment in your car and the charger is ready. I usually connect my HTC Sensation mobile phone with this charger and use the navigation feature for as long as i drive without the hassel of a drained battery anymore. thanks to Flipkart.
Amazingly fast. I got the delivery on 2nd day and the product was as advertised.
The product is good though small, it doesn't protrude from the holder (on Santro) which near my leg while driving.
thanks flipkart!
The build quality of this product is very good and the best part is compactness. It projects just 2mm out of the socket. I am using it to charge my HTC Explorer and it works perfect ! I feel the charging time is bit more than the original charger, however a very handy tool during travel. No need to mention about flipkart, it was a pleasant experience. They have taken the online shopping to the next level in India
and totally worth it. With just a little over half a centimeter sticking out of the socket and a little green led in it, it is slick and low-profile. Build quality seems excellent.
I use this with a tiny micro usb cable to charge our phones and the occasional mp3 player and it is completely unintrusive. I did ponder over getting a dedicated micro usb charger like the samsung oem one, but figured that I'd do without the bulk and extra long cables that those tend to come with.
If you are a user of Navigation in Phones on 3G then beware this charger will completely let you down.
This is not a really review of the product itself, but more to bring buyer's attention. (View complete review)
it is very compact size usb charger. good quality and reliable performance. light on top indicates power output. very useful during travelling. i cn charge my iphone 4s on it. But facing some problems in charging iphone 5. (View complete review)
It delivers correct voltage to charge my Samsung mobile. I can also charge other mobiles, mp3 devices, etc. (View complete review)
Excellent Quality,. Working fantastic. its hooked always in my car and very very durable peace. Very good build Quality. (View complete review)
A very nice buy I must state. I had bought this approximately 6 months ago. Working great till date with everyday use. Very sturdy and small. The green light shows that the USB is getting power from the car and a device can be connected. For the price you pay, this is a great value for money buy. (View complete review)

10 all-American recipes for July 4th
Celebrate deliciously
Bo Obama inspects the White House for the holidays
(Source: theweek.com)
In 1927, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade introduced its first balloon: Felix the Cat. Macy's had no contingency plan for deflating the helium-filled balloon once the parade was over. So organizers decided to just let the balloon float away, expecting it to safely come down to earth after a few days. Instead, it exploded before clearing the city, injuring several New Yorkers.

Any guesses at how much people spend on pet costumes?
"I careth not where thou has traversed from, varmint!"
Rainn Wilson, aka Dwight Schrute from The Office, wants to make Voting Day a national holiday, because voting on a Tuesday is "a pain in the ass."
Forget the dusty old box of Christmas lights in the attic. For some homeowners, holiday decorating is a competitive art form. This year, U.S. consumers are expected to spend a whopping $6 billion on decorations, the most in seven years. Here, a look at the most over-the-top Christmas displays over the last several years.

How to tell kids Santa isn't real
It's the question every parent dreads: Is Santa Claus real? The bombshell can drop at age 6, or 7, or 8, even older, but no matter what the child's age, it can "mark the end of a certain kind of innocence for the child," says Marie Hartwell-Walker in Psych Central, "and an end of a fun chapter of parenting for the adults." How parents respond can determine whether the moment results in tears, anger, or a "sweet transition" to "a new kind of magic." When the question comes, what's the best way to answer it?
Lie through your teeth: "I tell them how Santa can fold his body up, like a magical yogi, to wiggle down our chimney," says Margot Magowan in The San Francisco Chronicle. The little ones "look adorable sucking it all up, mouths open, eyes wide." When "these childhood myths" fade away, it will be "a gentle way for kids to learn [that] well-intended parents are not always reliable sources of truth."
Not a fan of lying to children? Fess up. Teach them about the real Christmas: We tell our kids the truth, says Pastor Marc Driscoll in The Washington Post. We don't "demonize" Santa, but we don't lie to convince our children he's real. "Our kids thank us for being both honest and fun, which we think is what Jesus wants."
Here, some other options.

The case for the real Christmas trees
When it comes to Christmas trees, Americans are increasingly opting for fake ones, with more than 50 million artificial evergreens expected to light up living rooms this year, compared to some 30 million real trees.
Many people assume reusing a fake tree year after year is the more environmentally conscious holiday choice, but the authors of one study say natural trees are the greener option. Plus, they smell good.

The Transportation Security Administration's enhanced screening program is continuing to leave passengers upset, humiliated, or worse. Over the weekend, reports emerged of children and disabled passengers subjected to invasive pat-downs for refusing to step through a body scanner — and with millions of Americans preparing to fly home for Thanksgiving, many suspect things will only get worse. The TSA has addressed several of the alleged incidents on its blog, and continues to say that "only a small percentage" of passengers will end up receiving a pat-down. Here's a sample of the most controversial incidents so far:
Pat-down leaves victim humiliated, urine-soakedBladder cancer survivor Thomas D. "Tom" Sawyer claims an aggressive pat-down broke the seal on his urostomy bag, leaving him covered in urine.
Cancer survivor forced to show prosthetic breastBreast cancer survivor and flight attendant Cathy Bossi was allegedly forced to remove her prosthetic breast from her blouse to show a TSA agent.
Here are a few more. Happy Thanksgiving travels!

Food for Thought
By Kris Kucera
Rarely does an extended family get a free pass from Alzheimer's disease or diabetes mellitus. On the surface, these two afflictions appear totally unrelated —Alzheimer's (AD), Mother Nature's cruel version of identity theft; and diabetes, the glucose-metabolism disorder that affects both young and old alike. However, new research indicates that the two diseases behave in a similar manner.
In a study recently published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, researchers from Brown Medical School found that reduced glucose uptake and decreased metabolism in the hippocampus—the area of the brain associated with memory—cause neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment. This, they say, suggests that a form of diabetes, tentatively dubbed type 3, leads to AD.
Type 1 diabetes results from a severe or complete lack of insulin, a hormone made in the pancreas that controls blood sugar. Type 2, dubbed adult onset diabetes (although these days it occurs in teenagers and even younger kids), also stems from a dearth of insulin, or insulin resistance —the existing insulin molecules cannot deliver glucose through the cells' membranes. Surprisingly, the researchers found a new form of insulin, produced in the brain, and they believe that, over time, decreasing levels of this "brain insulin" and other insulin-related proteins ultimately precipitate AD. While levels of brain insulin have no known affect on a body's overall blood sugar, scientists have long recognized that diabetes patients are more likely to develop AD than those without the disease.
Skeptics of the Brown team's findings argue that our brains produce so little insulin in the first place, reduced levels of the hormone can't possibly play a significant role in AD. Regardless, the new data show that AD may be a neuroendocrine disorder, thus increasing the possibility for more effective treatments. And that gives hope to all of us who may one day be touched, directly or indirectly, by the merciless hand of AD.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Baton Rouge firefighters believe an electrical malfunction in a meeting room sparked a fire at St. Joseph's Academy.
Fire department spokesman Robert Combs tells The Advocate firefighters arrived at the school at 1:08 p.m. Saturday.
Combs says fire damage was contained to the meeting room, but the rest of the structure sustained moderate smoke and heat damage.
No one was in the building at the time of the fire.
St. Joseph's spokeswoman Mindy Averitt said class schedules will not be affected by the fire.

I took a quick trip up to Cambridge, to visit my friend, Canbridge University economist Paul Lewis, and then attend Tony Lawson's Critical Realist workshop. I arrived in the evening, so Paul gave me a whirlwind tour of the campus and then treated me to a lovely dinner.
The gate to King's College in Cambridge.
The first item on the agenda of the workshop is drinks from 7:30 until 8:00. Just before 8, when the evening's talk is to start, most people fill their wine glass one last time before sitting down. After the lecture, it's... off to the pub! Paul told me that drinking accompanies all activities at Cambridge.

As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on April 26, 2012
S. 2224 would require the President to submit to the Congress reports on Syrian opposition groups and on stockpiles of weapons in Syria. Based on information from the Administration, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would have discretionary costs of less than $500,000 in 2013, assuming availability of appropriated funds. Enacting S. 2224 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
S. 2224 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.

President Barack Obama said on Monday he inherited many of the country's problems with high debt and deficits when he entered the White House, sounding a theme likely to dominate his 2012 re-election campaign.
Speaking at a Democratic fundraiser, where families paid $15,000 to get a picture with him, Obama defended his economic record and noted that problems in Europe were affecting the United States.
"We do have a serious problem in terms of debt and deficit, and much of it I inherited," Obama said. The financial crisis, he said, made the problem worse.
Democrats and Republicans agreed to a deal to raise the debt ceiling and cut government spending last week, but credit rating agency Standard & Poor's downgraded the United States, contributing to a steep fall in stock markets on Monday.
Obama noted that the United States had seen 17 months of consecutive private-sector job growth, rising corporate profits and stabilized credit markets under his watch.
"What's absolutely true, even before these last couple days in the stock market, is that recovery wasn't happening fast enough," he said. "When you have problems in Europe and in Spain and in Italy and in Greece, those problems wash over into our shores," he said.
Some 140 people attended the fundraiser, which was held at a private home.
Obama, who is ramping up his fundraising after taking a hiatus while the debt-ceiling debate raged in Washington, said the deficit issue would provide a clear contrast for voters in the 2012 race for the White House.
"What we're going to have is 16 months in which we debate this vision for America, and it's going to be as fundamental a debate as 2008," he said.
"In some ways it may be even a more profound debate because the contrast is going to be clear and it's going to be sharp."
Obama is pressing for Congress to extend a payroll tax cut and unemployment insurance to help boost the economy, but he expressed skepticism that lawmakers would get a lot done.
"As president of the United States my job is to work with Congress to try to get as much done as possible," he said.
"Whether we're going to see any progress out of this Congress right now — because so far we haven't seen much when it comes to innovative ideas that actually put people to work and grow the economy — remains to be seen."
Under the debt-ceiling agreement, a "super committee" in Congress will find further ways to tackle the deficit in the coming months. Obama said on Friday he would outline his own recommendations for that committee.
At a separate event for potential campaign donors on Monday, Obama previewed what could make up those recommendations, saying revenues needed to be raised, the tax code would have to be reformed, and modest adjustments to the Medicare healthcare program would have to be enacted.

Boy, that Barack Obama sure is presidential, ain't he? What a leader!
Yeah Barry, you inherited a 10 trillion dollar deficit, turned it into an almost 15 trillion dollar deficit in two and a half years, and lay that blame on your predecessor. Way to take responsibility and be a true leader.
You said we could spend, borrow and "stimulate" our way out of this recession while creating nothing but menial service jobs. This country wasn't built flipping burgers and making beds.
You said we could bail out the big banks and quantitatively ease our way back to prosperity.
A constitutional scholar is he!?
Spot-on commentary griff…! : |
Carl Nemo **==
Neither a gentleman nor a scholar, just another political Hack.
Goodness…goodness…goodness. Of course you inherited a mess which is why the American voters hired you and your cronies to fix the mess. So, Mr. ACORN, how did that work out?
Well…the first sign of customer satisfaction was the elections of 2010. Was that the type of feedback you needed? You think that is bad just wait until 10/2012 when you'll be ushered out and into the wonderful world of 100K speeches where you can continue to promulgate your revisionist history.
$15,000 for an 8×10 square of useless glossy medicinal paper. Only in America..
Very funny, Mr. "President." When you're guilty as Hell of countless crimes, when everyone over age 7 knows you're the problem, not the answer and when your lies just aren't working anymore, whadaya do?
Obama's handlers in Tel Aviv have trained him well.
Granted the President is "Commander in Chief" and Captain of the USS America, but the 'crew' manning our vessel, the Congress, is sorely lacking in the necessary political seamanship skills to get the passengers through the turbulent seas of possible financial destruction.
They simply refuse to change course and pull the plug on their spendthrift ways. Spending money you don't have is an addiction and very hard to break, no different than those of a chemical nature. Millions of our citizens suffer the same illness as a function of CC abuse.
I'm hoping the Chinese come through with their threat of pulling the plug on floating our debts or at least pulling out to the extent it somehow moves the 'addict' on a path to better financial health.

I agree Almandine. In addition I miss the "search function" for referencing earlier post content to CHB. I sent Doug an email concerning these issues, but didn't get a reply. No doubt he's been superbusy with his website empire. : )

Obama's lament: 'I inherited this mess'
You could say alot about this statement! but I will mention two!
1. he willingly and willfully sought this office in which he now holds so, whining about it being solely bush's fault is childish ans irrelevent since he, in a matter of 2.5 years has added another 5 trillion to the debt and this price tag will continue to go up.
2. for 2 years he critisized many of bush's policies on the economy, the so-called War on Terror, constitutional and legal issues etc, etc and even before he took office, he was nominating the very crooks that helped cause this mess to begin with for his economic team and after taking office, not only adopted these same policies in which he critised bush for, but in some cases is even worse.
And of course, I'll throw in an Impotent and cowardly and responsibily avoiding congress as well.
The only meaningful message independents and progressives can send to Obama and his backers in 2012 is, don't vote
for him.
It doesn't matter which party or person you vote for since they are all bought and paid for. Check out Opensecrets.org to see all of the money thrown at the political hacks. I think the president had good intentions when he was elected, but was told by the powers at be what to do after he was sworn in. I read somewhere that he disappeared for a couple of days after he was elected for his personal indoctrination. Whether that is true or questionable he doesn't seem to have the fire that was once there.
You know Obama is in trouble when a east cost liberal like Maureen Dowd turns on him in the New York Times, accusing him of "a leadership void". That, frankly, has been obvious for two years already. Obama is a poser and a talker. A leader he is not.
He inherited the mess? Every president inherits a mess. But Obama is the first president who seems offended all these problems land on his desk. His attitude seems to be that he is too great and important to be bothered by such petty matters as the economy.
"I inherited this mess"….somebody call the waaaaaaambulance!
Also…"The Buck Doesn't Stop Here"
If your floor is dirty, you grab a broom and a mop and clean it up. Obama's floor started dirty, but he dumped buckets full of dirt on top of the dirty floor, then claimed it wasn't his mess in the first place?

Only 2.4% of consumers said they would definitely pay $39.99/year for their favorites sites to go ad-free. That works out to less than $4 per month! Another 3.5% said they would be very likely. Here are the rest of the results:
I was completely blown away that 82% of consumers would be unlikely/not likely at all to pay $29.99 a year for their favorite sites to be ad-free. What if Twitter gave us that option? Would you be willing to pay to keep Twitter ad-free?
