Imagine you had to replace all your possessions tomorrow – what would it cost? It's smart to be prepared should the worst happen.
The big difference between property and any other type of investment is that you can actually touch it. It's bricks and mortar, not just numbers on a screen.
It's also considered one of the more solid, less volatile forms of investment. Investors tend to like property for its:
Lenders consider the potential rental income you'll get from the property when calculating how much you can borrow. So property is a viable investment option for first time property buyers as well as existing property owners.
If you already own your own home, and have a reasonable amount of equity in it, you mightn't need to raise any cash to start investing. Many lenders will let you use that equity as a deposit for the investment property.
But if you don't already own a property don't be put off. If you have a deposit saved, an investment might be a good way to get into the property market. While you won't get all the grants and concessions that come with buying a home, you don't have to wait till you can afford somewhere that suits your needs. You can buy something that might make you some money instead.

Teenage Alien Ninja Turtles
That doesn't even SOUND good.
Thanks Michael Bay for stealing my childhood.
Bay's taking his own spin on the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie, and he's completely messing up their original story in the process. He wants to make them aliens- ALIENS!
As any TMNT fan knows, the Ninja Turtles were created when four baby turtles fell into the sewer and came in contact with RADIOACTIVE OOZE. Then they were trained in martial arts by a rat named Splinter, who also fell victim to said ooze.
For some reason, I was unable to find the American version of the intro, but here's one from other countries where they deemed "ninja" was too violent and instead called them "hero" turtles. And though frustrating, even THAT sounds better.
AND it gets worse. Here's a picture of the abominations.
From ScreenRant:
Says Bay, "these turtles [in the reboot] are from an alien race, and they're going to be tough, edgy, funny, and completely lovable."
Sure, teenage ninja turtles coming from space is really no less feasible an origin than being covered in ooze and then somehow gaining adolescent sentience, but that's not the point! It makes that whole "mutant" part of their name a giant misnomer!
That being said, should we take "Mutant" out of the name, since they're apparently no longer radioactive mutations? Do you care? Should people who DO care get a life.. or do we have a point? Has Hollywood finally gone TOO FAR?! Discuss.
I wish Michael Bay would get over his jealous sibling plan to ruin all my favorite toys.

In the following year, they released their second international album Backstreet's Back (1997) and their U.S. debut album which continued the group's success worldwide. They rose to superstardom with their third studio album Millennium (1999) and its follow-up album, Black & Blue (2000).
ABBA were a Swedish pop group formed in Stockholm in 1972, comprising Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. ABBA is an acronym of the first letters of the band members' first names (Agnetha, Benny, Björn and Anni-Frid) and is sometimes stylized as the registered trademark ᗅᗺᗷᗅ. They became one of the most commercially successful acts in the history of popular music, topping the charts worldwide from 1975 to 1982. They are also known for winning in the Eurovision Song Contest 1974, giving Sweden its first victory in the history of the contest and being the most successful group ever to take part in the competition.

AWeber Email Marketing Tips
Text Vs. HTML: Is Moderation The Key?
The debate over whether to use plain text or HTML never really stops, it just gets quiet for a while before someone brings it up again.
MarketingExperiements just brought it back up by blogging their recent research on how well each version converts.
Their team makes an interesting assertion:
The Key Isn't Whether To Use HTML, But How Much Of It To Use
Maria Hendricks of MarketingExperiments suggests that not all HTML messages are created equal. She makes a distinction between two types of HTML:
- "Heavy" HTML (which she defines as "Ad Style" – I take that to mean a high ratio of imagery to text, frequent use of bold and italicized text… a design that brings to mind the emails I'm used to seeing Chad White discuss on RetailEmail.Blogspot)
- "Lite" HTML (low imagery to text ratio, less frequent use of bold/highlighted/italicized text)
In the experiments they ran, they found that while Lite HTML pulled a higher clickthrough rate than plain text (by 55%), Heavy HTML actually performed worse than plain text – 34% worse.
What Does This Mean?
The issue isn't as simple as "use plain text" or "use HTML."
Not all HTML messages are created equal, and they won't all perform equally. While you need to test for yourself, you may find that sending a message that uses HTML sparingly to enhance how the reader experiences your message (a timely image here, a helpful contextual link there) is better than plain text only, which is better than sending out a spammy-looking "email blast" that's chock-full of poor HTML practices like giant red text or several large images and little to no text.
A Word of Caution
We haven't seen the details of this experiment. There may be factors at play here that don't apply to your own email campaign. We'll be keeping an eye out for a more detailed brief from MarketingExperiments and once we have some more information on their tests, we'll note them here.
That said, I've always found their experiments to be thorough and well thought-out. And I think their results are probably true for most of us – email subscribers respond to valuable content that they can easily digest and interact with. If you use HTML in a way that makes it easier for your readers to do that, they'll respond better. If you use it poorly, it can hurt your response.
As Hendricks notes:
"No one likes to read boring messages, especially today's readers who are getting more and more sophisticated with new ways to interact… [w]ith that said, we also need to constantly remind ourselves to respect our readers with every marketing effort we make."
What Do You Think?
Have you had tested different styles of HTML against each other and/or against plain text? What have you found to best engage subscribers?

I do a combination of both. Our newsletter goes out in both text and html but when I do a separate broadcast/promotion I do it text.
Never tested html/text broadcast… might be something to do on a split test if possible.8/2/2007 5:36 pm
Personally, I just don't have time to read long messages, with lots of boxed advertising or testimonials, and the same message said in several different ways. I would rather have a shorter message outlining the impact and a link to a longer version if I want to read more.8/2/2007 11:29 pm
Thank you for this. Like much we see in the IM world in general, the "text vs. HTML" debate has always been carried on as a "black or white" issue.
I personally was using what you would term as "Lite HTML" but stopped it due to reports that "plain text outperformed HTML", which appeared to be supported by the practices of others in my general space.
But lately I couldn't help but notice that it really seemed that my HTML emails must have had higher open rates (although that info isn't objectively available on text emails, of course).
Just today–on a whim–I decided to copy my text broadcast message (without visual modification) to the HTML editor and fire away. Sure enough, preliminary metrics are showing that "Lite HTML" was indeed outperforming.
Your report serves to underscore my both my gut feeling and my objective test today. Back to "Lite HTML" style it is.
Cheers…and thanks again.8/2/2007 11:36 pm
I think split-testing that would be a good idea… for that sort of use I think that either result (your HTML/text pulling better, or your text-only one doing so) is plausible. If the HTML/text one pulls better I might attribute that to people recognizing the message (since it looks like your newsletter). If the text one pulls better you can argue that plain text looks more like a personal note and that led people to respond better. It'd be interesting to see which one pulled better for you, so please let us know your results if you do test that!
A lot of people share your feelings there. One way for email marketers to address those needs, while still catering to the people who do like to read the full message text in their inbox, is to provide an online version and link it near the top of the message. A "Table of Contents" or "In This Issue" section can also get at this by summarizing the message so that you know if you want to hold on to the message.
You're right on with the black & white comment – that's always irked me. I think it's just our desire to simplify so we can work on other aspects of our campaigns (or businesses as a whole).
Even as frustrating as it can be to hear "you have to test for yourself" that's really the only way to know. I'm glad to see you're trying it out, and hope that you (and everyone else) continue to "test until you become convinced about what really works best for you—and then continue to test periodically" as Hendricks advises in her post.8/3/2007 9:20 am | Follow me on Twitter
I dont have a problem with people who know how to use html sending messages it is those who have no Idea what they are doing I feel for because they send out garbled messages thinking they are sending fancy emails.8/3/2007 11:35 am
realy its useful topic …ithink the very interresting thing the commentment of the readers …8/3/2007 11:39 pm
thanks alot for tha
Very true – if your HTML isn't well-done, it can detract from the recipient's experience (and response) rather than enhance it.
It's key to make sure that your HTML renders well in a wide range of email clients. Using HTML templates can help senders quickly and easily create good-looking email messages.8/6/2007 9:31 am | Follow me on Twitter
We send out a VERY heavy HTML newsletter about twice a month. The majority of my readers have Hotmail, Yahoo or AOL accounts.
Our open rates average about 50% and click tracking is 15-20%. I am curious how this compares to what others are seeing?8/6/2007 1:24 pm
Doesn't anybody face the problem of images being blocked? In Gmail and Yahoo the images in the html mail are blocked by default, and the user has to explicitly click on a link like "Display images below" to see the images. Doesn't this affect the open rates of html mails? Could you please address this? Thanks…great thread!8/7/2007 10:54 pm
Im currently testing an ecourse, but the main ecourse is delivered via HTML pages. The email sent out simply redirects people back to the HTML page. I'm wondering how this will do in the long run because it is one more click the user must make.
Anyone else running email campaigns like this?8/21/2007 2:44 am
Text Vs. HTML: Is Moderation The Key?
Email Template Design – Justin Premick – August 2nd, 2007 – Permalink
This is a very relevant article. It seems an easy way to determine what is the best use of e-mail marketing is to think, "What would I want to read? What would cause me to click to get more info?" Chances are, most people would say that overdone HTML –too much bold, italics, colors, images—is a big turn off. It tends to scream "SPAM!"
As more and more e-mail marketing pieces head directly to the trash bin, it is much safer and smarter to give a professional appearance through your e-mails. Professional can be light HTML. Professional can also be well-written copy with a great, catchy first paragraph—no HTML necessary!
Perhaps the decision to go light HTML or text should also be based on the target group. For example, it would seem a younger, technologically savvy target group would appreciate some light HTML, while a more mature, old-school client might prefer the straight-forwardness of plain text.9/25/2007 1:11 am
Good point about how demographics might affect your choice of format. I don't know that plain text would necessarily be better for an older audience… but it's plausible enough to test!9/28/2007 3:31 pm | Follow me on Twitter
Good issue discussed here! Although I have not done any testing on this, it would seem that with video on the rise as well on the internet, one cannot underestimate the "visual" aspect when trying to get your message across.11/10/2007 11:52 am
All autoresponder emails look so alike, that a graphic approach does help to stand out nowadays, but I think that as with most things in life, moderation is the key. Sending paintings across would not do the trick either and could get you into trouble with some spam filters.
I think that most webmaster just cannot be bothered in putting some TLC an their emails and just want to pump out as many emails as (in)humanly possible to get that sale (that is perhaps another discussion topic: how much is enough for your clients?).
I personally feel more inclined to open a well designed HTML email as in my opinion, if the person who sent it took his or her time to work on this one message, chances are the products or services and their support will be also well taken care of.
I opt to send my emails out in both formats and let the client decide which format they wish to receive in their email client settings. That way you cater for the personal choice and preferences of your client and increase the likelyhood of having your email opened. No?

According to recent data from Experian, the average U.S. consumer has three open and active credit cards. Whether that is too many, too few or just enough for you is really a question of how you use and manage your accounts.
If you have the tendency to spend more than you earn, you might need fewer than three credit cards -- and maybe none at all, says Harrison Lazarus, a financial consultant and founder of Harrison Lazarus Advisors. On the other hand, if you spend well within your means, more credit cards could be good for you. "You will be able to access money when you need it, obtain fringe benefits like rebates and mileage, and improve your credit score," Lazarus says.
If you are unsure (or in denial) about your spending habits and general attitude toward credit, here are some warning signs you have more credit cards than you can handle:
1. You pull your annual credit report and find open credit cards you had forgotten about. Do you open a store credit card every time you hear the words, "save an additional 10% if you open an account today"? Do you mail back credit card applications in exchange for offers of bonus miles? If so, chances are you have credit cards lying around that you have not used since the day you signed up.
Rod Griffin, the director of public education at Experian, says open accounts that you have neglected could increase your risk of identity theft. Cards that are left idle could be stolen and used to make charges long before you notice that they're gone.
If you have unused credit cards that you don't want to close just yet (more on that in a moment), Griffin says it's best to lock them away or keep in a safe deposit box in your bank.

2. You are not paying your credit card bills on time. You know you have too many credit cards when you start having bill payment issues. If you carry 10 credit cards, for example, and you use all of them, you have 10 monthly statements to deal with each month. "Having too many credit cards can lead to the lack of time and focus to ensure proper credit card management," says Kimberly Howard, a certified financial planner and owner of KJH Financial Services.
Every credit card requires a payment date, and each one could be different. Payment juggling could lead to missed or late payments, Howard says, which could ding your credit scores.
Even just one credit card might already be too many for you. "The total balance on all cards compared to the total credit limit on those cards is called the utilization rate," Griffin says. "A high utilization rate, whether you have one card or many, is a strong indicator of credit risk and will significantly impact credit scores."
3. Your credit scores have been dropping steadily. Several factors influence your credit scores, including your previous payment performance, your total outstanding debt and how long your credit accounts have been open.
Inquiries and new accounts can also adversely affect your scores. Every time you apply for a credit card, an inquiry is added to your report. This pushes down your credit scores a little. "An inquiry is viewed unfavorably because it means you are shopping for credit," Lazarus says.
To find out if the number of credit cards you own is a reason for your low credit scores, pull your credit report and look at the risk factors. If "too many revolving accounts" is listed, it might be a good idea to forgo future card offers and think about closing some already-open accounts.
4. You are having a difficult time getting a loan. Having too many credit cards could be among the reasons if you are denied a mortgage or car loan. Howard says loan officers nowadays frown on borrowers carrying more than five credit cards.
Even if you maintain zero balances on a handful of open cards, you can be considered a credit risk. "The loan officer realizes that you could use all of your credit cards after the loan is approved, and that will affect your ability to repay the loan," Howard says.
High credit scores alone should help prove you are worthy of loan approval, but Howard says that's not the case now. Since 2008, loan officers have been far more careful in approving loans, she says. "They are favoring mostly those with a limited number of credit cards, in addition to having a high credit score."
5. You are saving less than 10% of your gross income. If you look at your savings and you're not comfortable with what you see, it could be that you are spending (and charging) more than you can afford. Ideally, Lazarus says, you should be saving 10% or more of your gross income.
For example, if you earn $3,000 every two weeks (taking home $2,300 after taxes and other deductions), you should be able to save at least $300 every two weeks.
If that goal is too hard to achieve, fewer credit cards or none at all might be the way to go. "Less or no credit is better, because you will avoid overspending, underpaying, incurring excessive interest and reducing your credit score," Lazarus says.
Next steps: If, after reading this, you are convinced you have too many credit cards, should you immediately start closing accounts? And how do you know which cards to keep?
If you are looking to cut the number of credit cards you own, Howard says the first ones to go should be store credit cards, specifically those not carrying a MasterCard, Visa or American Express logo.
"Store credit cards are easily given to individuals with low creditworthiness," Howard says. "Once you have MasterCard, Visa or American Express, you need to start thinking about closing those store cards, because they will only hurt you during a loan application process."
Don't close all your cards at the same time, though. Every time you close a credit card account, your credit scores take a small hit. Howard's advice is to close them at six-month intervals, so your credit scores have time to recover before you cancel the next card.
Lazarus suggests hanging onto credit cards that have no annual fees and no overseas transaction fees and that offer rebates or cash-back rewards. He says the Chase Ultimate Cash Award MasterCard, CapitalOne Visa and American Express Blue cards are worth considering. "If you're going to use credit, you might as well make the most from it. In today's world, credit card issuers want your business and are willing to reward you for it."
If you find that the number of credit cards you have isn't causing you any problems, Experian's Griffin says you should be focusing on other financial issues that could be having a greater effect on your creditworthiness.
On the other hand, if you find it difficult to curb your spending or use of credit, you may want to check in with the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. Another useful resource is AdviceIQ, which lists financial advisers in your area.
More from TheStreet.com:
Credit Cards are easy to get if you loose your job, under employed or even face with other financial difficulties such as, student loans, sickness in the family, house purchase, relocation, etc., etc..
Banks lure you into 0% or 1% deals for six months or in some cases even one year!. say you borrow $2500 to at 0% for one year, and the interest jumps to 9.9% in one year. You are already in hardship (Banks know this well), then you miss two payments, the rate becomes 24.99%. Then you miss two more payments down the road, it jacks up to 29.99%. By now, you have already paid the bank what you already borrowed, and you are three years down the road making payments. With jacked up interest rates, now you owe the bank $ 6000 instead of the $ 2500. So now your 0% means crock pile of cucumbers and you get laid off at the same time! then what? banks charge off your account, and even if you call them they say we can not negotiate since you have no income but we will sue you for what you agreed to pay us since they have your signature in the application.
Now comes the Barnum and Barnum Circus in to town:
The bank would write off your loan as a bad debt, so that they get a huge tax break, or in most cases uncle sam will give them the money because they are in debt cause the consumers (you and me)owe them biilions (inflated balloon money), while they take the profit and reinvest on another investment/new product, or take them out in multi-million dollar bonuses for highly paid bank exectives According to the bank, you still owe them big money. So guess what?, now lets hire a local collection agency (where you reside) add another 9,780. 23 dollars in attorney fees, and send you a peice of paper called "summons."
Now you are talking big business here !!
1. If you ignore or do not respond in writting, they will take a judgment against you. 2. If you agree to pay in monthly installments (signed) then you agree to this WHOLE balance owed or in most cases a thrid party who just paid pennies to your bad loan. Very common with BOA credit card loans...
Say you agreed to the collection agency to make monthly payments and you come up with an unexpected family tragedy and miss 2 or 3 payments then they will take a judgment against you and wipe out bank accounts, garnish wages, take your only TV set, or the only broken car you have to drive to work. So how is uncle sam going to collect tax money when you are at home?
You can not fight them, cause these agencies are " ABOVE THE LAW !" where is Steven Segal when you need him? If you are a minority in this mess then THERE IS NO MERCY !!.
Next time the banks send you a credit card app. trash it in the garbage. Declare bankruptcy and get your life back from these parasites who destroy american families, careers and your LIFE!!!
Discover Card, Bank of America, Chase, in the top of the list.....
The Creation of Credit Cards was the Brain-Child of Predator Capitalists, who, depressed the wages of the working stiffs, after sending Millions of Jobs overseas. Listen to a facsimile of their pitch: "Hey, wish I could pay you more; but times are tough. However, you can still have it all, by acquiring a Credit Card. Is this a great Nation, or what? Your cost? Only a few dollars every month. Your Family deserves it; hell, you deserve it." Result: today, the total credit card debt, exceeds a Trillion Dollars! Now, for the, "Ouches!" the very people who sent jobs overseas, and depressed wages at home - - were among those who hatched the Credit Card, which has been an abomination to the economic welfare of the American People. Rates are Usury, in my opinion. What say you?
Dave Ramsey calls one's Credit Score - - their Debt Score. High Scores are given to those who charge tons of stuff. Fail to use your Card frequently enough; and watch your Credit Score Decline!
Folks, STOP Buying things you don't need; and, can't afford! You are being suckered, by the Predatory Financial Industry. When you go into debt; you absolutely lose your Choices and your Freedom! You quickly become a Slave, to the Financial, "Man!"
I find most of these articles pure BS. I spent over a year getting my credit rating up.
According to one Credit Report Card I have:
Credit Card Utilization = A – 1 to 20%
Percent On Time Payments = A – 100%
Average Age Of Open Credit Lines = A – 8 years
Total Accounts = B – I have 37 the report shows 41 to receive an "A"
Hard Credit Inquires = B – I have 1 in the last 2 years. Requires "0" in 2 years to get an "A"
So despite what the article says there is a "Magic" number and it is 41. So to get an "A" in Total Accounts, I would need to add 4. To add accounts would result in "Hard" credit inquiries that would be there for 2 years resulting in a lower grade for Hard Credit Inquires.
As one can see it would be an almost "No Win" to add accounts. I might get a "A" in Total Accounts but the grade for Inquires would go down.
One is enough - one that is paid in full every month. Today, start on a path that demonstrates that you are worth paying yourself first. Set aside a sum that is yours - then and only then, use the rest to climb out from under the debt. Bit by bit, back away from living beyond your means - when you reach a happy balance you'll thank yourself. Stop to think, these card companies are in the business of making money - they aren't fools and they have almost endless resources at their disposal that can sure find a way to eventually make a fool out of those that buy in. You want 50% more cash - *dirty buggers anyway* - do it yourself. Stand up, refuse to become one of their fools, start paying yourself first today and every day. If you can't tell, I agree with number 5 but on an increasing-over-time percentage scale.
Can't wait for it all to collapse.....No more money..and survival means get up ...hunt...chop down your own tree .....and kill anything that attemts to take from you ...or even moves!
I intend to resort to cannabalism!...seven billion paracite humans...plenty of meat on them bones, especially the Americans(60% obese)...YUM,YUM eat em up. No refrirgeration,How do you keep it fresh...answer, Eat them alive!....YUM YUM!
So to all those lazy,greedy paracite bankers and lawyers...get ready to be served,Cuz here I come.

Caroline Wozniacki and Rory McIlroy are not engaged, despite what one prankster led many to believe.
Sascha Bajin, who is the hitting partner for Serena Williams and frequently interacts with Wozniacki over Twitter, decided to play a little joke on Monday.
Can't believe you started rumors like that! @bigsascha .. Not engaged yet, but you'll be the first to know if we do!;) hehe
— Caroline Wozniacki (@CaroWozniacki) November 26, 2012
USA Today's Chris Chase says journalists were scrambling to confirm the rumor after Bajin's original tweet. As seen in the Twitter reply above, Wozniacki killed the rumor with her response a few hours later.
The two continued to banter over Twitter, and even Victoria Azarenka chimed in:

So I'm thinking of getting back into boomkin on my druid (I had him as feral to get to 85, but I quickly lost interest with it, and stopped playing it altogether), this would be one of my many alts, so what should I know about boomkins to atleast be semi useful? In my adventures as a dk, I don't recall seeing many boomies, so I'm not sure what a "rotation" for them would be.
Or should I just hit up EJ and Mr. Robot?
You can get all manner of useful information by clicking on one of the tags below the story itself. I'd go with "balance-druid-guide" myself. You'd be surprised how much you can find yourself if you take a few moments to do a search; investigation and research FTW!

TEAMS: Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Indians
Detroit Tigers, 72-63, 2nd place, 1 back, WC not gonna happen.
Well, that's baseball. And you've got to tip your hat to Cy Masterson. Etc. Etc.
See what happens when you don't have a plan? Hopefully Kevin will use the day off tomorrow to devise something good. Or maybe we should all use the time to work on our lineup submissions.
For his part, Jim Leyland had an explanation for why he went with Don Kelly at 1B (batting 6th) yesterday: "He has not had a good year, obviously, this year, but that's OK. I'm tickled for him. I'm glad for him." See, this lineup business is harder than you think. Make sure you leave some tickle room when you fill out your cards folks.
Tonight the Tigers go for their 3rd straight series sweep, this one, like Kansas City, on the business end of the broom.
Doug Fister takes the mound for Detroit, but if this game goes according to trend it will matter more who shows up at the plate agains Ubaldo Jimenez. So far this series Detroit has hit .177 against the worst starting pitching staff in the AL. Jimenez' biggest problem is his control (he is 2nd in AL with 84 walks), which tends to be some sort of secret weapon against Tiger hitters.
Stat of the Day: We've said before that the Tigers just aren't made to win a majority of close games. Well how is this: the Tigers are 2-8 in their last 10 1-run games, and their last 8 losses have been by a combined total of 9 runs.
Today's Player of the Pre-game: Delmon Young. Will the day of rest cool him off?
Todays Delmony Lineup:
- Austin Jackson CF
- Andy Dirks LF
- Miguel Cabrera 3B
- Prince Fielder 1B
- Delmon Young DH
- Brennan Boesch RF
- Jhonny Peralta SS
- Alex Avila C
- Omar Intante 2B

"Our nation guarantees equality" How could it possibly do that? It guarantees equality of opportunity. Equality is not sameness. "Those people" working for that wage do not deserve a house, a nice car, college education, a vacation, etc. That is an ENTRY LEVEL wage for unskilled workers. Why do you think the Community College system was started? So uneducated people would have an opportunity to go to college and better themselves at a greatly reduced cost, thereby increasing their value to the job market and EARNING higher pay! You people really DO live in a cosmos all your own. Unbelieveable!

MONTREAL — A fairer, more egalitarian world economic and financial system received much support Monday — at least rhetorically — at the launch of the 20th annual Conférence de Montréal.
What's more, Christine Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) endorsed — cautiously and conditionally — the notion of a carbon tax or a cap and trade system.
Lagarde, who received an honorary degree from the Université de Montréal, said at the International Economic Forum of the Americas that the very concept of growth must be redefined and reinvented.
"From China to the U.S., from Germany to Japan, the array of methods of the engines of growth are being re-examined and are changing the economic landscape," she told a luncheon audience.
Growth is returning — unevenly but steadily, she conceded — after the global recession, but she warned against "the twin enemies of complacency and fatigue."
"How do we ensure that this growth that's coming back is stronger, more solid, better anchored in fundamentals? How are we going to ensure the recovery is better shared, that the degree of growing inequality we've seen recently can decrease?"
But she added that she is not always against austerity measures that have been increasingly under fire, especially in Europe.
The IMF is often accused, along with the World Bank, of inflicting excessive and unnecessary pain on poor countries by imposing draconian conditions on loans and other help.
Lagarde, whose IMF is locked in a dispute with the U.S. on funding, is walking a fine line. Calls to reduce inequality in the U.S. in particular are usually shouted down as "socialism" and social engineering through redistribution of wealth.
Lagarde said she could not account for the dispute.
The time has come, Lagarde added, to assign a monetary value to carbon emissions one way or another — with a carbon tax or through a cap-and-trade system.
She added that Canada must unlock the potential of its energy sector by removing hurdles to ownership and other measures.
More than 1,200 delegates attended the opening of the economic conference including Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard, Former Liberal premier Jean Charest, and former Canadian prime ministers Jean Chrétien and Joe Clark.
In his speech, Couillard endorsed recent statements by Mark Carney, formerly governor of the Bank of Canada and now with the Bank of England, who criticized "a certain idea of capitalism."
"Prosperity, Mr. Carney said, certainly includes investing in (financial) capital, but also in social — that is, in links, in shared values that bring individuals not only to take their responsibilities, but to work together in a spirit of mutual support."
"When short-term gains becomes the supreme criterion, when inequality grows and perspectives dim, maybe we've forgotten that financial capitalism is not an end, but a means. That of promoting investment, innovation, growth, prosperity and freedom."
Quoting French author Jacques Attali, he praised "capitalism that creates rather than dominates, that innovates rather than speculates."
"Let it be heard here and abroad," said the recently elected Couillard, "that Quebec is again open for business and partnerships."
In a sharp jab at Pauline Marois, his predecessor, Couillard said that "social policies bought on credit, beyond our real means, are progressive in name only."
He noted that Quebec has committed to "a new destination" of cutting carbon emissions by 20 per cent (from 1990 levels) by 2020.
And Quebec recently agreed on a joint system of carbon trading with California, he added, starting in 2015.
Couillard later told reporters that most economists agree that some price has to be attached to carbon. And, while political support is lacking in the United States to tax carbon, President Barack Obama last week announced regulations to chop carbon emissions from U.S. power plants by 30 per cent by 2030.

Randolph carries Grizzlies past Knicks
New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Zach Randolph had 25 points and 15 rebounds in the Memphis Grizzlies' 95-87 victory over the New York Knicks on Saturday.
Tony Allen tallied 19 points and eight boards for the Grizzlies, who snapped a five-game skid. Jerryd Bayless added 11 points and Kosta Koufos and Ed Davis each donated 10 points.
Carmelo Anthony ended with 30 points and seven boards for the Knicks, who fell to 4-10 at home this season. J.R. Smith and Tim Hardaway Jr. added 16 points apiece.
The Grizzlies started the game on a 17-8 run, but the Knicks responded by scoring 10 of the next 12 points. Memphis, however, was able to maintain the lead and held a 25-22 margin after one quarter.
It was New York that got off to a fast start in the second stanza. A quick 6-0 spurt gave the home team a 28-25 edge.
But the Grizzlies took the lead back midway through the period. The visitors went on to score the final five points of the half for a 50-40 margin.
Memphis extended its lead to 14 late in the third stanza, but Hardaway made a 3-pointer with 3.1 seconds left to get the Knicks within 72-61.
New York made things interesting with a 9-0 run late in the fourth quarter. Smith and Anthony connected from beyond the arc and Tyson Chandler's free throw with 25.6 seconds remaining cut the gap to 91-87.
Bayless stopped the spurt with a pair of free throws, and after Smith missed a layup, Allen scored to put the game out of reach.
Game Notes
Knicks forward Metta World Peace sat out with a knee injury ... Memphis forward Tayshaun Prince missed his second straight game with a knee injury ... The Grizzlies outscored New York in the paint by a 60-28 margin ... The Knicks dropped to 0-3 in noon home starts this season.

Billionaire Warren Buffett has written a column this week that has generated a lot of attention. (read) Buffett calls for a 30 percent minimum tax on the wealthy, of taxable income between 1$ million and $10 million). News like that is catnip for many liberals, who possess resentment toward the wealthy. But the most important part of Buffett's column is tucked away near the end, and it's a proposal that many liberals — while they're applauding the 30 percent minimum tax — will disagree with.
In the column, Buffett writes, "Our government's goal should be to bring in revenues of 18.5 percent of G.D.P. and spend about 21 percent of G.D.P. — levels that have been attained over extended periods in the past and can clearly be reached again. As the math makes clear, this won't stem our budget deficits; in fact, it will continue them. But assuming even conservative projections about inflation and economic growth, this ratio of revenue to spending will keep America's debt stable in relation to the country's economic output." … Now that's sound advice. Buffett is smart enough to realize that higher taxes on the rich will do little to stem the debt. There simply isn't enough wealth to tax to make a substantial dent in debt, which will surpass $20 trillion when President Obama leaves office. (and that's the White House's own projections) As Buffett mentions in his colum, currently we're bringing in revenues of of 15.5 percent of GDP and spending 22.4 percent of GDP. That spells unsustainable deficits and debt.
But that 21 percent to 18.5 percent ratio is not something that a huge swath of Obama supporters want to hear. Egged on by their most prominent advocate, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, they want to increase spending far beyond the current 22.4 percent. An advocate, Matt Miller, who works for the liberal think tank the Center for American Progress, understands Buffett's threat to these big-spending priorities. In a Washington Post column (read) he argues that spending as a percentage of GDP should rise to about 28 percent. Miller argues that the increase in the elderly and decaying infrastructure demand trillions of dollars in entitlement spending increases and new stimulus spending. He also proposes that workers receive huge wage subsidies far higher than the current earned-income tax credit.
What Miller seems to want is a welfare state, where a majority of the population pays no income tax and enjoys a short-term boom in infrastructure and long-term security financed by the wealthy. In order to even try to sustain this folly, there would later need to be substantial non-income taxes, such as 25 percent or higher consumption tax, and substantial reductions in Medicare and Social Security. If one wishes to see the end result, look at Greece, and multiply it. We will already have a total debt-to-GDP ratio that easily exceeds 100 percent by 2017. We can't keep adding to that and there's not enough of the rich to pay it off.
Buffett's column should be embraced by Republicans. A long-term 21 percent spending to 18.5 percent GDP ratio will, as he writes, "require major concessions by both Republicans and Democrats." But, as he also notes, it will keep our rising debt under control and work to preserve the standard of living that our entitlement programs and economy are supposed to provide for Americans.
And, just as importantly, it will stop the hyper-Keynesians from running our economy into the ground.

By Steve Holland
MIAMI (Reuters) - President Barack Obama took the first steps on the road to the 2012 elections on Friday, presiding over the first of many fund-raising events to ensure his Democrats can compete against the Republicans.
He cited an improving U.S. economy in a signal that he believes it will help his bid for re-election.
"Now what we're seeing is that having gone through the toughest time in recent memory, the country is on the rebound, the country is on the move," Obama said.
The $1 million raised at two events was not for his own re-election bid but instead was for incumbent Democratic Florida Senator Bill Nelson and other Senate Democrats.
Nelson told the second of the events that Democrats should see hope from the economy after a the jobless rate dropped to 8.9 percent on Friday.
Obama fired up a crowd of loyalists at a Miami hotel by insisting he wants to find common ground with Republicans in a budget fight but is not willing to cut into what he considers needed investments in education, science and technology.
"I'm willing to cut any spending we can't afford," he said. "I'm not willing to cut the basic investments we need for winning the future."
Many experts believe Democrats could have trouble hanging on to control of the U.S. Senate since they hold only a 53-47 advantage after last November's congressional elections and they will be defending more Senate seats in 2012 than the Republicans.
Though his job approval rating is still below 50 percent, Obama's own chances of re-election in 2012 appear to be improving as the U.S. economy picks up steam and Republicans face a long battle to determine their challenger to Obama.
But to win again Obama will need independent voters who fled his Democrats last November and helped Republicans win the House of Representatives.
Mindful of Americans' desire for less partisanship and more cooperation among Democrats and Republicans, Obama said he believes compromise can be found with Republicans over the budget.
"I believe we can find common ground," he said. "Each side is going to have to give a little bit."
Obama's day in Miami was not all politics, but it did feature a member of the Bush family that has produced two presidents, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush.
Obama also appeared at a Miami high school for an education event with former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, the younger brother of George W. Bush.
Jeb Bush has been pushed by some Republicans to challenge Obama in 2012 and has consistently said he would not. His appearance with Obama would seem to close the door to any further speculation about 2012 for him.
Obama, who often criticized George W. Bush in his first two years in office, joked of Jeb: "Aside from being a former governor of this great state, Jeb of course is best known as being the brother of Marvin Bush."
"The truth is, I've gotten to know Jeb because his family exemplifies public service," he added.
Obama is putting off his own campaign activities for as long as possible to concentrate on governing while a mix of Republicans prepares to begin a long fight for their own party's presidential nomination.

Japan earthquake - contamination & consequences outside Fukushima NPP
View Single Post
Jun15-11, 04:29 AM
Its in his latest video, which is full of odd trivia. He's purporting that everyone in Tokyo breathed in 10 "hot particles" every day during the month of April. Same for Seattle (although he's made two different claims for Seattle, one that said they breathed in 5 per day, and another that suggested they breathed in 10 per day). I don't know how he came up with any of these figures. Different posters are already regurgitating this story on this forum. Its basically going viral on any web site that has to do with Fukushima. Its the perfect meaningless sound bite for everyone who wishes to believe in Arnie's original story that "Fukushima is Chernobyl on Ssteroids (tm)". Arnie is saying his data comes from "scientists using air filters" (?!). He is full of circular logic, such as "we know the data is true because of the information coming from the air filters".
He's also talking about people in Tokyo experiencing a metallic taste, and he's tying this in with a similar phenomenon at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. However he ignores the facts that: Tokyo is much farther away from the source of the radiation than the populations of Three Mile Island and Chernobyl/Pripyat, and, more importantly (crucially, I would say) there never was any report of people tasting a metallic taste in Tokyo. And if the people in Fukushima were ingesting 30 times the "hot particles" that Tokyoites were, you would imagine that the tastebuds of those in Fukushima were feeling like they were gobbling handfulls of metal.

Kris Jenner Raves Over Kendall and Kylie's Model Behavior (VIDEO)
The Karadashian matriarch expresses pride over her youngest daughters at the 'Red Dress Collection' fashion show.
Kris Jenner is one proud mama.
The Kardashian matriarch couldn't help but beam with pride as her youngest daughters, Kendall, 17, and Kylie, 15, worked the runway the Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection fashion show on Wednesday night in New York City.
The stylish event, which helped kick-off New York Fashion Week, featured celebrities and fashionistas gathering together for a good cause: promoting heart disease awareness, all while donning some gorgeous red gowns.
"I can't wait to see Kendall and Kyle walk tonight. I'm really proud of them. And I'm proud of them that they're coming here for a really great cause, which is just getting the word out there and awareness for heart disease because it is the No. 1 killer of women right now," she told Celebuzz.
And for Jenner, the evening hit close to home.
"My grandmother passed away from heart disease, so it's just a good thing for your kids to get involved in and realize they can do something to prevent something later in life," she revealed.
The three E! reality stars stunned in flowing Badgley Mischka dresses as they took the catwalk, which also featured Kelly Osbourne, Minka Kelly and Olympian Gabby Douglas.
"I'm pumped for the runway show we're doing tonight with our mom, the Red Dress Collection Fashion Show 2013!" Kendall wrote before the show.
While Kendall may have mastered the art of walking the runway, Kris admits she still has to perfect her pose.
"Kendall's a professional. She's a pro. She knows what she's doing I'm just gonna be lucky to get down there and not fall and get back again. I'm gonna run back!" she said with a laugh.

New Delhi, Nov 22 : Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray, who passed away in Mumbai last week, was the only non-MP to get obituary references in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha Friday, the first day of the winter session of parliament.
Thackeray is amongst the few leaders ever to get obituary references without being a member of either house.
The Shiv Sena and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had urged the presiding officers of both houses to pay an obituary reference to Thackeray and adjourn parliament as a mark of tribute to him, party insiders said. However, the government decided to include his name in the list of obituary references but did not agree to adjourning parliament's sitting for the day.
Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar said in the house: "We deeply mourn the loss of our former colleagues and Shri Thackeray and I am sure the house would join me in conveying our condolences to the bereaved families. Balasaheb Thackeray was well known as a political cartoonist and editor of Marmik, a political weekly and Saamna, Marathi daily newspaper. Shri Thackeray founded Shiv Sena in 1966. He passed away on 17th November, 2012, in Mumbai at the age of 85 years."
Rajya Sabha Chairmnan Hamid Ansari described Thackeray as a charismatic person who always tried to inculcate a sense of pride in people, particularly those from Maharashtra.
"Beginning his career as a cartoonist with the Free Press Journal, Thackeray founded the Shiv Sena party in 1966 to espouse the cause of local people of Maharashtra," he said.
Besides Thackeray, tributes were paid to 10 former members, including former defence minister K. C. Pant and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader K. Yerran Naidu, in the Lok Sabha.
The others were Ram Sewak Chowdhury, Bharat Bhushan, Sat Mahajan, Raj Kumar Rai, Lourdasamy Adaikkalaraj, Nawal Kishore Sharma, Harihar Swain and Ram Sewak Hazari.
In the Rajya Sabha, tributes were paid, besides Thackeray, to B. V. Kakkilaya, Ranganath Misra, Jagesh Desai, B. P. Singhal (ex-member), B. Satyanarayan Reddy, Anantray Devshanker Dave, Kailash Pati Mishra and Pant. (IANS)

Forum: new-ssl-certificate-for-ocamlcore.org
Posted by: Sylvain Le Gall
This way, OCaml Forge user should not need to add exceptions or trust the CACert root certificate. Access to the forge should be easier.
The SSL certificate is now issued by Equifax. If you have problem loading https://forge.ocamlcore.org, contact the administration team (through our bug tracker http://forge.ocamlcore.org/tracker/?group_id=1).
NB: we use a wildcard certificate for *.ocamlcore.org, this doesn't cover lists.forge.ocamlcore.org -- which was already the case for CACert. For now, we recommend to add an exception when accessing https://lists.forge.ocamlcore.org.

Customer Reviews
Touch of class
I can't believe how something like a shower door can add so much class to a bathroom. I just love the design. Of course, its primary purpose is to prevent water from leaking out, but this unit is so much more than that. My husband was somewhat skeptical about buying it at first but now loves it!

The G12 Crampon by Grivel is a classic 12-point crampon designed for general mountaineering, alpinism, mixed ice and rock climbing, and moderate waterfall routes. The four points that are perpendicular to the crampon rails, prevent shearing in soft snow and improve security while descending (facing outward). The crampons are fully adjustable by hand, without tools and one size fits all. G12 is easily folded for transportation. The G12 crampon is delivered with the Antibott included.

Acquired and used on 2 attempts (one successful -- yay me!) on Shasta in the past month. Expand to fit my size 14 double plastic mountaineering boots quite easily. Rock solid connection with the boot, having not come loose in two full summit days. Can't really even make any suggestions for improvement for mountaineering!
