Did you ever think that making a speech on economics is a lot like pissing down your leg? It seems hot to you, but it never does to anyone else.
– Lyndon B Johnson, supposedly
...nobody can be a great economist who is only an economist – and I am even tempted to add that the economist who is only an economist is likely to become a nuisance if not a positive danger.
– FA Hayek
The claim is: there is humanity and honesty available in economics. Here's a reconstruction of folksy theorems and maxims: together they make for an surprisingly open worldview, one nowhere near as sterile as what the field is usually thought to instil. My point's not that a pure standard-model economic worldview is a complete one – the best thing Hayek ever said is the epigram above – just that the sterility and absurdity we often see in it is the result of monological extremism, not anything about the subject matter or even the method.
Few actual economists embody or articulate these maxims - but then, few economists admit to having any ideology, though in fact they all bear a third-hand positivist-utilitarianism auto-conservatism which stands in for a party-line. But there is a heterodox economics movement, who think of people as people, economies as economies, and of economics as one day becoming a real science. Note also that the ideology outlined below can't accommodate everything called good.
1. It is hard to change people.
1. It is hard to change people.
People change all the time, but trying to direct that change is notoriously technical and intensive work. This is why some people say, mistakenly, that incentives are the core of economics: they're just the easiest way to get folk to shift. (As always, McCloskey can give us a poetic rereading of an apparently boring thing: "All that moves us without violence, then, is persuasion, the realm of rhetoric.")
Take the environmental policy brouhaha - even when reasonable doubt is ruled out, we, the world, keep dumping. Appeals to reason have convinced very few of us to make significant changes. Hence, all the large structural proposals involve increasing emission costs one way or other, and then letting people reallocate around that. Whether this is because we're hardwired for certain myopic behaviour by biology or psychology or culture is besides the point at this level of abstraction.
Note that this maxim does not preclude social engineering, i.e. progressive politics. But along with #2, 3 & 7, it gives us an idea of the sheer effort and uncertainty it takes.
Giant thesis: Non-political factors are more powerful than political factors in the determination of the state of the world.
Countermanding: But economics is only one of the non-political factors.
Many economists just give in to "It is hard to change people". The remainder of us risk making what Adrian Leftwich calls the "technicist fallacy": the dubious assumption that all governance problems have a policy solution.
2. It always depends.
2. It always depends.
Economies are 'complex' in the hardest sense: economic analysis takes place under such gross uncertainty and necessarily limited experimentation that unconditional answers are simply dishonest. Certainly the forecasting of economic trends is done out of quackery, theory-blind ignorance or getting paid for it. Admittedly the third thing you learn in basic ec is the phrase In ceteris paribus – i.e. "it doesn't depend!" – but at least that means they admit there's a problem.
A further gaping gap in the old theories has been sighted (that economics has been conducted under Modernist premises, and that modernism usually eats itself and shits the future). I'm talking postmodern economics, a seemingly unlikely creature, but one which actually follows easily from good economics' obsession with contingency, and the palpably post-structuralist nature of economies.
But scepticism is not a virtue in much of economics; this we know. Except, of course, when it comes to radical scepticism about moral or collective action, which they're mad for.
3. Things fall apart, but sometimes they fall into place too.
3. Things fall apart, but sometimes they fall into place too.
The ghost of Kant gums up arguments on political economy: many of us have the vague intuition that the amoral intentions of markets trump any accidental good that comes of them. You hear things like "capitalists don't care about social outcomes – all social outcomes determined by capitalists will be to their advantage". Well, yes, if they're doing their job and are lucky, it will. Less unreasonable question is whether it is only to their advantage. This mindset holds exploitation to be any case in which people are used as a means. (Stronger definition: the act of using labour without offering adequate compensation. Broader definition: any relationship of unequal benefit.) Under each of these definitions, every employer* is an exploiter, since they wouldn't employ you if they couldn't milk more value out.
The only thing worse than being exploited by capitalism is not being exploited by capitalism.
– Joan Robinson
But I can't see this as inherently or even generally wrong: there can be capability and existential relief in job creation, regardless of what the employer intended. Sure, let us refuse to use people - except that my participation in this economy and that history made that move for me. My conception of what is moral has to be larger now (sadly aposteriori as well as tritely virtuous).
Consider this (if it makes you angry then you have the ghost of Kant in you) "the dastardly and amoral oil cartel OPEC have done more to slow global warming than all activist efforts combined." (The argument is that by distorting the oil price upwards for forty years, they made people economise, and incentivised the development of cleaner energy. Shoddy discussion here.) Entirely accidentally - a thing fallen in place.
(*Every "rational" employer - see #4.)
(2+3). Protection is sometimes unsafe.
(2+3). Protection is sometimes unsafe.
The unpredictability of large-scale human affairs and the occasional emergence of order without giving orders mean even we Left economists have to worry about policy. Moral judgments tend to be one-step:
"People are poor? Oh. Give em money."
"People pollute? Oh. Make em stop."
"Landlords charge too much? Make em stop."
But the world is anything but one-step! The analysis of behaviour in terms of incentives - for all that it often justifies self-congratulatory cynicism - is at least capable of looking ahead, a little way beyond the second domino. "Higher-order intentionality", they call it. Properly moral action demands it.
4. People aren't stupid
4. People aren't stupid
Huh! Hold on, hold on: first let me set up my easel and my astrolabe.
a. By this I mean the assumption of economic rationality. This "rationality" is quite different from the real thing, note - it corresponds to the will to more stuff and the rarer, derived will to efficiency.) The assumption has come under fire, being as it is a ridiculous caricature of human inner life. Traditionally there's two ways for theory to succeed: either it's true, or it'd be good if it was. Since rational choice is neither, it is rejected and despised.
The kicker comes when we consider the alternative assumption: that "people are often irrational". How do we shape policy around this? What kind of road do we build? How do we design insurance schemes or benefits? It turns out that it is punishingly hard to do without: #4 is the behavioural version of Donald Davidson's principle of interpretative charity. Rational choice "theory", reconstructed this way, is not a substantive theory at all, but a dummy methodological principle.
Now, the behavioural economists - actual scientists! - will inherit the earth one day soon. But policy prescription won't easily follow from their discoveries regarding our many perversities - because while there's only one way to be economically rational*, there are uncountable ways to be irrational.
How can rational choice accommodate macro events like the 2008 financial disaster? Surely that really was the lord of the flies set loose in stock exchanges? In part, yes. But the good choicist's answer is to decouple rationality from efficiency; it is in the deluded conflation of the two that the neoclassicals' malfeasance lies. If there is no necessary link between the two, crises can be explained in terms of rational but revoltingly inefficient collective action problems, rather than by positing mass hysteria or stupidity and so getting sad.
(*This is not technically true.)
All models are wrong but some are useful.
– George Box
b. The egalitarian conservatism that can be read into "People aren't stupid" also explains why few economists take false consciousness seriously. The processes that generate our "metapreferences", like our omnipresent social conditioning, are thus invisible to them. The upside of this is that economists are able to respect people's choices in a flawed world. This is also a kind of courtesy: "You're prudent until proven otherwise". Unlike Marxism and the new economics of happiness, even the nastiest neoclassical theory does not presume that it knows better than you what is good for you.
But ideology is too powerful and illiberal a force to ignore. You just have to recognise that there's a cost involved in calling people, or stupid people, or most people brainwashed.
The groundwork for an economics which includes metapreferences (and virtues other than shrewdness) is hot off the press.
5. You are the system.
5. You are the system.
The pure commodity view of existence is disturbing. Economists have viewed healthy life as a stock of capital to offer for sale (aka "labour"); babies as the investment capital of the poor; immigrants as human pollution; and any outcome below the utter numerical maximum that you squeeze out as a loss ("opportunity cost"). There's obvious reason to think that this framework does harm wherever it becomes commonsensical, increasing inequality, corruption and, occasionally, letting capitalism loose on one of our last few sacred redoubts. But provided it's kept contained as one perspective among many, the commodity perspective has some important moral and policy implications:
Every pound you spend is a vote for whatever you're buying. Every seven pounds you spend is another hour of your life sold.
6. Efficiency is humane.
6. Efficiency is humane.
Somewhere along the way in rejecting the Victorian era's hypocritical bullshit, an idea arose that being efficient is inimical to some basic human will. (The will to piss about, perhaps.) This is agreeably romantic. But, in losing its social prominence, efficiency lost its moral connotation as well. (The word "economy" originally meant good household management, "thrift" comes from the same root as "thrive".)
This loss of moral charge is a mistake: the economical is ecological! Simple waste and planned obsolescence account for a headbreaking amount of the pollution and price hikes in the world. If you ain't using it, someone will; if you don't need it or particularly want it, don't use it. And more: in high-powered contexts, efficiency saves lives, and the rejection of efficiency in the name of sweet warm human imperfection is, here, inhumane.
7. Sometimes there is no right answer.
7. Sometimes there is no right answer.
The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design.
– Friedrich von Hayek
A common idea: "capitalism sucks but it probably sucks less than the other current options".
But fuck "There Is No Alternative" too. Since we are talking about the replacement of capitalism on capitalist keyboards paid for with capitalist pounds: capitalism obviously doesn't totally stifle future systems. And remember #3: it accidentally clothes and feeds us, it accidentally enables state spending on education and health and law. It was forced to grant us surplus time in which to think, sometimes in which to think about alternatives. For all else that it callously does, do not deny this.
8. Most things fail.
8. Most things fail.
Even before we consider De Beauvoir's more fatal sense: things don't work. Worse, most fail silently, creating a false sense of security. This is the least mainstream insight on this list, but watch its space.

MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA)-This is the third time the police department has increased patrols in this area. It started in Chisholm, then moved to Calmar Drive and now it's in the Ridgecrest - Fairview area.
The Montgomery Police Department is focusing on the west precinct, saturating dozens of officers in the neighborhoods, patrolling the streets and serving arrest warrants.
During some of the first arrests in neighborhoods off Fairview Avenue the SWAT team confiscated guns and drugs... some of the main reasons this area was selected for the next neighborhood saturation program.
Montgomery Police haven't set a certain time limit on this operation. Its mobile command post is located in the IGA parking lot on Court Street and they're asking all neighbors to step up and work with the department... even stop by and tell them if they've noticed any illegal activity to help address the issues in west Montgomery.
The saturation points start on Fairview Avenue and stretches to Normon Bridge Road, including Flemming Street and Rosa Parks Avenue.

I hope you had a good day. Here is my star for day #308 (1403).
An overall pattern tonight, with a couple of stars thrown in. I like more fluid lines, so the stars don't quite fit in, but I think I incorporated them fine. I think if I go for another year, I will have to go back to a fluid image, like the heart again. I'm not sure about another year yet, but I am considering it.
Mols was working on the couch today and listening to Christmas music. Got to love it!
That's all for me. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a good night.
Take care,

LOS ANGELES — Hustler Hollywood on the Sunset Strip will host an event to introduce The Stockroom's new line created for porn's punk rock princess, Joanna Angel, at 8:30 tonight.
The "Joanna Angel Line" consists of classic, high-quality, black leather Stockroom restraints and BDSM accessories, embellished with vibrant punk-pink leather accents, that evoke Joanna Angel's iconic dark mane with a glowing signature streak. With its vibrant punk-pink accented palette, the "Joanna Angel Line" from The Stockroom provides a playful — less intimidating — entry into leather restraints and toys for BDSM play.
"Miss Angel's line is the first licensing agreement for The Stockroom," said Juanito "Johnny" Blanco, creative director of The Stockroom. "I can think of no better person with whom to pop our licensing cherry than Miss Angel. With her success with Burning Angel and her highly regarded position in the adult industry, it just makes sense — and hopefully, dollars!"
Outside of The Stockroom, Hustler Hollywood is the first retailer to sell the line.
"We are thrilled to be the first to sell the line and look forward to celebrating with Joanna Angel herself," said Allison Johnston, marketing manager for the retail stores. "This line makes BDSM accessible to those starting out, but also is appealing to veterans of this type of play."
Hustler Hollywood is located at 8920 Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood.
Handmade in Los Angeles, all products of the Joanna Angel line are designed and assembled in The Stockroom's Los Angeles workshop located in Silverlake on Sunset Blvd.

Baylor University scholar Thomas S. Kidd penned a thought-provoking Op-Ed in the March 10 online edition of The Christian Science Monitor titled Muslim Americans: What would Jesus (or George Washington) do?. In it he draws a parallel between the bigotry that was directed towards Catholics in early America and the angst that is directed towards Muslims today. Frankly, I've never made that connection until now. Just as Catholics were once feared by the Protestant majority, Muslims have become, in the minds of many Americans, the great spiritual enemy. This wasn't always so. In fact, there was a time in America when Muslims were probably more likely to be accepted than Catholics.
Following the Protestant Reformation of the 1500's, a strong movement arose against the Catholic Church of England. Many immigrants brought their own anti-Catholicism beliefs with them to the New World where it eventually became a mainstream point of view. Their prejudices were based on political and theological differences. In 1642, the Colony of Virginia went so far as to enact a law prohibiting Catholics from settling there. A similar proclamation was drafted by the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The results were a drastic difference between protestant and Catholic settlers. Even "Catholic-friendly" states had remained unbalanced. In 1634, the state of Maryland recorded less than 3,000 Catholics out of a population of 34,000 (around 9% of the population).
Many of the Founding Fathers who preached of liberty and religious freedom distrusted the denomination. Samuel Adams echoed this sentiment stating, "What we have above everything else to fear is Popery." Thomas Jefferson condemned the Roman Catholic clerics when he wrote, "History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government," and, "In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own." John Adams attended a Catholic mass in Philadelphia in 1774 and later ridiculed the rituals practiced by parishioners.
Looking back to those days of intolerance it may be surprising to find that it was General George Washington, a consummate politician, who rose above public opinion to support his Catholic countrymen. Washington was one of the first leaders to be outspoken on the subject of religious bigotry and he took a great risk by voicing an unpopular sentiment. In retrospect this move may have been far more practical than benevolent as Washington no doubt realized that he needed to win the favor of foreign countries that accepted Catholicism, especially France. He also required the service of Catholic military men both domestic and foreign. This included the Marquis de Lafayette, a Catholic Frenchmen who would play a major role in America's fight for independence.
For years the country's Englishmen had celebrated "Guy Fawkes Day" also known as "Pope's Day" on November 5th. The importance of this date commemorated an incident known as "The Gunpowder Plot" in which a Catholic dissident named Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up Parliament in 1605. As part of the festivities, an effigy was burned, depicting the sitting Pope of the Catholic Church. In November of 1775 Washington issued general orders condemning what he called a "ridiculous and childish custom of burning the effigy of the pope." He added that "American Catholics are among those we ought to consider as brethren embarked on the same cause, the defense of the general liberty of America." By taking this stand against religious bigotry, Washington appeared both tolerant and diplomatic. This likely helped him to secure the French allies which he desperately needed to win the war. His entire proclamation read:
As the Commander in Chief has been apprized of a design form'd for the observance of that ridiculous and childish custom of burning the Effigy of the pope--He cannot help expressing his surprise that there should be Officers and Soldiers in this army so void of common sense, as not to see the impropriety of such a step at this Juncture; at a Time when we are solliciting, and have really obtain'd, the friendship and alliance of the people of Canada, whom we ought to consider as Brethren embarked in the same Cause. The defence of the general Liberty of America: At such a juncture, and in such Circumstances, to be insulting their Religion, is so monstrous, as not to be suffered or excused; indeed instead of offering the most remote insult, it is our duty to address public thanks to these our Brethren, as to them we are so much indebted for every late happy Success over the common Enemy in Canada.
Although anti-Catholic sentiment remained in America for some time to come, the official banning of "Pope's Day" by one of America's most revered leaders dampened the spirit tremendously. By 1776 the tradition was no longer acknowledged by the masses. This change in public opinion allowed the once ostracized denomination to flourish beside its protestant brethren. Today the Catholic faith makes up almost 24% of the U.S. population with 301 million members.
The nation's current Muslim citizenship is estimated at approximately 2.6 million, much of which is ostracized like the Catholics of days past. Just as the bloody history of the Crusades blemished the Catholics reputation during colonial times, today's anti-Muslim sentiments resulted from the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Ironically the resulting military actions in the Middle East sent scores of Muslims fleeing the extreme-fundamentalism of their own faith to seek sanctuary in the United States. This mass influx of refugees mirrored that of the earliest Christians who fled from Europe to the New World in order to escape religious persecution. Today the debate remains over the acceptance of Muslim customs and religious practices. This includes the issue of requiring assimilation for nationalization.
Just as early immigrant Catholics were judged on the sins of the crusaders, Muslims in today's time are often feared to be jihadists. This underlying suspicion has led to a heightened form of prejudice that is often masked behind the guise of vigilance. Perhaps this is no more illustrated than in the recent proposal to add an anti-Shariah amendment into Texas's constitution. Proponents of the law believe that it is crucial to maintaining the fundamentals of the country, while those who oppose it believe an official denunciation of the Muslim faith by the government to be contrary to the country's founding principles of "liberty and justice for all." When examining this argument strictly from a constitutional point of view, it's not that hard to see both perspectives. Hence the conundrum. Mainstream American-Muslims would certainly never practice such primitive traditions, but the radical-extremists who have hijacked their faith continue to pose a real threat.
This controversial amendment would not be the first time that a clause was instituted to negate a particular religious group. Prior to Washington's advocacy several states had devised loyalty oaths designed to exclude Catholics from holding state and local office. Yet at the same time Catholics were serving at the Constitutional Convention. This included Thomas Fitzsimons and Daniel Carroll who were delegates from Pennsylvania and Maryland. Both men's signatures appear on the U.S. Constitution. Carroll had served in the Continental Congress and had signed the Articles of Confederation as well.
Another close comparison between Catholics of the past and Muslims of the present exists in military manpower. Just as Washington's ranks of the Continental army included Catholic troops, today's military boasts between 10,000-20,000 Muslims (according to the Department of Defense). The military's rising requirement for Muslim chaplains is also a testament to the expanding integration of followers of Islam. Ironically, most of the conflicts that the U.S. military is currently engaged in revolve around religious differences between cultures. Muslims are fighting against Muslims on behalf of the U.S. – just as Catholics fought against members of the Catholic Church of England on behalf of their fellow colonists.
To this day religion still remains the great divider. Regardless of one's spiritual preference, it does us well to recall the sins of our past in order to deal more justly with the present. Only time will tell if the post-traumatic reaction from 9/11 can be healed in the name of unity. Until then we can all gain a unique perspective of what it feels like to be a Muslim by remembering what it once felt like to be a Catholic.

Franchisors looking to grow their system can have a tendency to focus on a
single approach; namely selling more unit franchises. However, this strategy
should be adjusted, so that it's not the only way to grow the franchise network.
In today's current economic environment completing new franchise sales
continues to represent a challenge. Tight credit markets, soft consumer demand
and the apprehension of some people to invest in a new franchise represents the
root cause of this malaise.
When it comes to growing a franchise system, most franchisors stick to the
traditional practice of selling unit franchises. This becomes their only focus
for growing the franchise network. In many cases, franchisors find it difficult
to say no to a new franchise sale regardless of location. Look at some
franchisor website maps and you'll often find single locations throughout the
country. Franchisors that follow this strategy can end up with mixed results. In
many cases there is an imbalance between adding new locations and increasing
existing franchisee sales, with new franchise sales receiving the bulk of the
focus and resources.
Franchisors should carefully evaluate their franchise growth strategy in
consideration of the current economic climate. Perhaps these new growth
strategies will continue to be utilized when better economic times return.

My name is Kallie Schaefer and I like to cook.
My love for cooking stems from more than just a love to eat — it's a love of food and everything it encompasses. My goal for this blog isn't to teach you how to follow my recipes and eat the food that I eat. My goal is to hopefully inspire you to get back in the kitchen and keep trying. Grocery store prepared foods are making cooking no longer a necessary life skill. You don't have to know how to bake bread or make pasta sauce — just run to the store and buy a loaf and a jar. That makes me sad. Cooking isn't always easier or more convenient, but it always more rewarding. There's joy in knowing you made a dish that tastes great, comfort in knowing that there are no weird chemicals in the food you're eating, realization of knowing that the quality of home cooked food always trumps store bought and a lot of times there's even relief in knowing that you're saving money.
I am no expert. I have only truly been cooking since late 2011. I've learned a lot though and want to show that you don't have to be an expert to cook something.
I married the love of my life on March 5, 2011 and moved to Kansas City not long after. We're settling into our lives here and falling in love with the city. I work as a barista by day and play in my kitchen by night. We live in a tiny apartment where the counter tops are less than ideal, the natural lighting is next to none and the space is small. That's ok though. You don't need a fancy kitchen with a thousand gadgets and ample amounts of space to be able to put forth great food.
We try to eat as clean and organic as possible, but understand that's not entirely realistic. We strive for 80% of the time — sometimes we hit more, sometimes less.
We are not vegan, vegetarian, dairy free or gluten free, but when you cook clean and organic a lot of the dishes turn out that way. A lot of people live by those lifestyles for personal and health related reasons, so it's always nice to have some recipes up your sleeve.
When it comes to making my own recipes, I draw inspiration from many places — things I've ate, recipes I've read, ideas I've seen on TV or in magazines. My intent is to never plagiarize. The world is full of millions of takes on thousands of ingredients. I can't guarantee my take will never be similar to someone else's, but I will always strive to give credit where credit is due.
Hope you stick around and jump in on conversations!

Q: Rome Seagul* asks: How do I enter my picture in the lookalike contest?
A: On my contact page, use the contact form to send me a link to "your" photo on the internet. Please include your name so that you will get proper credit.
*For those of you that don't know, Rome Seagul was the 1980's stage name for Keith Woodie's sissypants son whom deluded himself into thinking he could sing. So his dad bullied local businesses into contributing to his music "career".
Q: Who the fuck is Keith Woodie?
A: Some fat dude that pretended to be a police chief. He used to call Ken "Kin".
Q: Where is Rome Seagul now?
A: Last I heard he was about 40 pounds lighter with sores all over his face. You figure it out.
Q: What is a bowl cut?
A: From wikipedia:
A bowl cut, also known as a beach cut, pot haircut, chili bowl, or a mushroom cut, is a haircut where the hair is cut short on the sides and back and allowed to grow long on the top, looking as though someone put a bowl on the head and cut off all the visible hair. A famous bowl cut wearer in the U.S. was Moe Howard, who wore it as part of his "Three Stooges" persona. Patrolman Joseph in the United States is the most famous patrolman to sport this catastrophe. In the UK it is also known as a pudding basin haircut or a stolen Denny's pie haircut.
Historically this haircut was popular among common people of various nationalities as an easy and relatively neat cut by a non-professional. Indeed, it was done by putting a cooking pot of a fit size to the level of ears, and all hair below the rim was cut or even shaven off. In some cultures it was a normal type of haircut. In other cultures the bowl cut was viewed as an attribute of poverty, signifying that the wearer could not afford to visit a barber, especially after being demoted to patrolman. The bowl cut is quite common among the Amish.
The bowl cut gained popularity in America among teenaged and pre-teen boys in the 1980s, especially ones like Damian Joseph (patrolman Joseph's son) whom wrote all over the police station walls one day with a magic marker, and was often associated with cool kid culture. Indeed, this hairstyle was a veritable fad in some locales. The popularity of the bowl cut faded in the mid-1990s. [1]
The bowl cut is a comparable to the Beatle haircut, which is slightly longer and less bowl hair-like.

Electronic cigarettes have generated lots of controversy in the past few years; however, in the United Kingdom there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel. The Committee of Advertising Practice this week allowed ecig companies a go ahead and begin promoting their products on TV. Advertisement of e cigs nevertheless, was still being done, although the companies would not show actual vaping on TV. However, things are changing since from next month you will begin seeing e cigs showing on television.
CAP has however laid out some guidelines for e-cig companies to follow while advertising new advertisements. It goes without saying that the ads should not target teenagers and kids. They should also not make vaping look like it is a youthful culture or advocate the use of e-cigs by nonsmokers. In addition, the ads should not make any safety or health claims. Companies will however still be creative with their advertisements despite these guidelines. It is definitely a good step forward for vaping companies in the UK.
CAP however did not allow e-cig companies to advertise without lots of study and thought. They took into consideration whether ads would renew smoking desires or lead to a high number of vaping youths. However, in the end they come to a conclusion that, provided that companies adhered to the guidelines, there would be no justification to ban the ads.
The CAP director, Shahriar Coupal highlighted how they arrived at their decision. "We have moved fast to set up fitting and clear guidelines around e-cig promotion. Whilst the debate concerning e-cigarettes goes on our obligation is to ensure they are marketing in a good manner and that kids are guarded."
Until now, there have not been many e cig advertisements, although some appearances of vaping have been noticed in movies and TV shows. This trend gained prominence after the hit TV show "House of Cards" that aired on Netflix, decided to show how e cigs work when Kevin Spacey a character in that show chose to vape in order to stop smoking.
The decision made this week by CAP will profit e cig companies in a big way. With the banning of tobacco ads in the United Kingdom, vaping will prove to be the better option for the present smokers.

What is Umbrella Insurance?
It is a special type of liability insurance policy that provides coverage well beyond that of your regular insurance. Basically, one would purchase this type of policy if they wanted an additional amount of coverage over all other existing policies, hence the title umbrella insurance. This insurance usually is sold in increments of $1,000,000. In example, if one has auto, life, health, and homeowners insurance policies each at $200,000, if they had to make a claim on any one of those, it would be for up to $1,200,000. Many times certain types of insurance can't cover above a certain amount of money. With umbrella insurance, this problem can be avoided.
Although umbrella insurance is extremely expensive, it's flexibility to cover over any of your existing policies makes it well worth it. As if that's not enough, it can also provide coverage on certain claims not usually covered by ones regular insurance, such as false arrest, invasion of privacy, or even slander. Overall, umbrella insurance is a great safety net to have.

5-HTP Plus: 100% Natural Mood Boosting Nutritional Supplement, 60 Servings, 60 Capsules, GMP Certified, Made in USA
Manufacturer: VitaSource Brand: VitaSource
CAN YOU BEAT DEPRESSION NATURALLY AND WITHOUT DRUGS? Soaring sales of Prozac and Zoloft have shown that Americans are not necessarily the happy-go-lucky, can-do optimists our national folklore would have us believe. Perhaps it's just as well a clear-eyed view of the world, no matter how negative, helps us prepare for challenges and risks ahead. But the stresses and strains of uncertain times take their toll and sometimes the blues take over and a bit of extra lift is necessary for us to face a less-than-rosy reality. Instead of turning to pharmaceuticals, however, with their side-effects and risk of dependency, nature has supplied its own antidepressant herbs and nutrients. 5-hydroxytryptophan, or 5-HTP, is a naturally occurring amino acid that is made in our brain from another amino acid, tryptophan, before it is converted to the neurotransmitters serotonin (the 'feel good' brain chemical that Prozac works on) and melatonin (a hormone that helps us sleep and is prescribed on its own to fight jetlag). It i...

A big and a common mistake new investors in the stock markets always do is selling a stock too soon. But I am sure you don't understand what too soon means. According to the past studies, it is clear that experienced investors are likely to sell their stocks at a profit rather than at a loss.
Although this may be perceived as counter-intuitive, it is much linked with research on how marketers in the markets make decisions. It seems that investors are likely to take with them a small profit rather selling at a loss. This confirms the biggest blunder we do and closing the door on probable rebound.
As a new investor, the stocks on the market keep on falling and rising every single day and this leaves you wondering: How do you figure out the right time to buy or when is best to sell? Finding a stock to purchase is one of the most rewarding and fun activity to do. To some investors, it is quite lucrative in that they purchase a stock that increases in price in the end. As an investor, sometimes you have to make impulsive decisions. Should you sell, buy or hold? Not every time you will contact your stock analyst so that you can make a decision. So what do you do? This article will provide key information that will help you, as a new investor, make conscious impulsive decisions and enjoy your journey in the stock markets.
There are many worthy reasons to sell your stock at a profit, but there is rarely a good reason to clutch on to an inveterate losing stock. So when is the best time to trade at a profit? Some would contend that trading is a deliberate practice just similar to purchasing while others would caution to never trade winning stocks.
Do you wait for a sign that the stock is near to reverse direction or do you take your profits and run? There are a couple of things or rather warning signs you may look at so that you may know when to buy, sell or hold stocks. This article will provide some of the tips to help you understand the stock markets better. Besides, the article will help you know when to buy or sell your stock.
Tips when to Buy or Sell
Analyzing Earnings
One simple trick is checking the companies' previous earning reports. Read the reports carefully. If the business keeps on failing to deliver its promises that mean its stock will get clobbered. On the other hand, a positive report is an indication of positive results
Are the sales decreasing in price or are they growing? Every investor would like a stock that is projected to grow. The next step in analyzing the sales is to ask yourself, is the growth triggered or related to a one-time event, or is it real? Read the press release of the company's management to understand this. You have to look at the numbers. Be careful. You have to figure out whether the company experienced some windfall or did it sell an asset this it makes it look like it is growing. Did the company you are about to buy stocks from or sell to experience an inside growth? Check on the reports whether these are seasonal variations.
What many people do not understand is the fact that smaller companies that have the potential of growing are the best. Check for smaller businesses that are growing by 10%, per year. On the other hand, when you opt for a larger company, make sure its growth is 3% annually. As a good investor, don't limit yourself by just checking the reports of the previous year, check even the last quarter. Last quarter's upward trends is a good sign.
Selling Strategies
Other selling strategies encompass the deliberate consideration that events are moving contrary to your stock and there is need to take action. Below are some ideas:
• Watch growth. Stocks grow. When they stop to grow or when the growth starts to slow down, it's time to take action. The stock market is completely not kind to stocks growing that fail to tolerate their increase.
• Watch out for hype. In a situation when your stock becomes a focus of the media, or a lot of buzzes is directed to it, it may be the right to look at taking returns. Such and many other stock-feeding frenzies appeal to the new and inexperienced investors only to have the market breakdown when the excitement expires.
• Better deal. Consider stocks that can bring you better returns with much fewer risks. The fact that you have a stock that is good and with nice returns, does not mean you should stop eyeing on deals that are better.
• Take part off the table. When your stock gives you good returns, consider trading or rather selling maybe 50% and taking profits and allowing the other 50% grow. This way you will never lose everything.
Eliminated or Dividend Cut
When enterprises begin eliminating or cutting dividends, it the right time to earnestly consider plummeting it.
A dividend cut signal financial difficulties and are serious events that all investors should pay attention to.
Target Price
What many investors do is setting a lower or floor stock price that helps them make a decision when to trade. An investor can also set a higher stock price that will help you trigger your sales.
The logic here is that you may panic that the stock will have a problematic time supporting a market price above a convinced level and any insinuation of negative news will send the value into a drop.
Other investors argue that "I want to make this profit and when that is done, I'm going to proceed on to a different opportunity."
Fundamentals Fail
Do not relax and wait to panic over a decrease in returns or another significant fundamental. Be prepared and ready to unload the stock while you still have a strong profit.
In case the company's sales, cash flow, debts and other fundamentals start to show signs of stress, it might mean something has changed that will affect the price of the stocks negatively.
Don't be too speedy
Make sure you do not eat into your profits by trying excessive trading with the aim of always maximizing your investment. Always note that a few and smart trades will always beat many mediocre trades any day.

India Wren is very patient but if looks were words she would be telling me to
please hurry up and make her some clothes.
You see she has things to do,
skipping to skip

Another borrowed dress.
Soon you will have clothes of your own India, and they will be all the colours of a smile and the shape of happiness and you will run and climb and skip and laugh and then curl up in the sunshine on the green grass and sleep.

Garden border design
Having your garden transformed by a professional designer can be a hugely exciting project. It can also be hugely expensive, and rather daunting having the whole of your outside space instantly made over.
It is often more sensible and practical to do a garden makeover in stages. This spreads the financial load, and allows the design to evolve so that you can be sure that you are happy with each part before proceeding to the next.
Following this trend, an increasing number of customers are asking us to help with individual border designs for their gardens. Usually they are simply improving their garden for their own enjoyment, but sometimes they want new borders for weddings or special birthday parties, or even need to improve a garden prior to putting the house up for sale.
Whatever your reason, we can help! Call at the nursery, bringing a simple dimensioned sketch of your border(s) including details of aspect (east facing/south facing etc) and soil type (heavy/light, wet/dry) and we'll help you sort out what you need on the spot – even measuring out the border on the nursery, and laying out the plants there and then!
This service is FREE but we can only do this during off peak hours – so it's worth telephoning first to make an appointment (no obligation!). Or call at the nursery, telephone, or email for further information.

Stefano Pinho's current offensive tear is coinciding with the Fort Lauderdale Strikers' best stretch of the fall season.
Pinho scored in his third straight match after his three goal performance helped lead the Strikers to a 7-1 rout of the Indy Eleven Saturday night at Lockhart Stadium. Marlon Freitas and his fellow Brazilian midfielder PC added two goals each as the Strikers won their third consecutive game before a crowd of 3,819.
The seven goals eclipsed the Strikers' previous high in a 6-2 win over Atlanta Oct. 19, 2013.
"I never imagined this type of game," said Pinho, who leads the NASL with 12 goals. "But the important thing is we got the victory."
The Strikers (4-4-2, 15 points) wasted little time in attacking the Eleven defense and scored their fastest goal of the year on Pinho's first strike 68 seconds into the match. Indy goalkeeper Kristian Nicht deflected Freitas' shot from 18 yards and Pinho one-timed the deflection with a bicycle kick into the net.
Five minutes later, PC gave the Strikers a 2-0 lead with a successful penalty kick. Eleven midfielder Brad Ring fouled PC inside the penalty area, resulting in PC's conversion.
Indy (2-3-5, 9 points) cut the deficit on Dane Richards' goal in the 16th minute. Richards intercepted Jordan Graye's centering pass, dribbled five yards and converted on an unmarked shot from 18 yards.
The early first half scoring blitz continued when Fort Lauderdale regained its two-goal lead after Freitas' goal in the 20th minute. Freitas dribbled toward the center and blasted an arcing shot from 25 yards that landed inside the right post.
Freitas scored his second goal with another shot from a 25-yard distance in the 67th minute.
The Strikers matched their three quick first half strikes with another three goal outburst during an eight minute span in the closing minutes of the match. Pinho scored his second and third goals in the 77th and 81s minutes and PC closed the scoring with five minutes remaining in the match.
"At some point in the game 3-1 behind something will open up," Strikers coach Gunter Kronsteiner said of the second half barrage. "We just have to wait for these moments."

i had an old acer t650 with a pentium D 920 & max of 2gb ram, nvidia gt520 graphics. ran win7 x64 fine. upgraded the processor to a 950. upgraded the system drive to an ssd. it was fine for general browsing, photoshop, playing dvds & youtube, etc. was a bit slow for some aspects, but it did work. imaging the sys drive took about an hour.
i finally upgraded to a new pc with an i7 quad core and 16gb ram, nvidia gtx650 (and reused my drives) and video conversion/photoshop, etc is much faster. general browsing, downloads, etc somewhat faster but not a lot. i can't type or move the mouse any faster than before. plays games at highest res a lot better tho. imaging same sys drive takes 10 minutes. photo and video enhancement and conversions are a lot quicker.

This talk was presented by Nicholas Jackiw at the 2007 NCTM Annual Meeting in Altanta, Georgia.
While at first glance, the continuous and geometric forms of reasoning characteristic of Sketchpad's Dynamic Geometry visualization seem unrelated to the finite mathematical structures and "discontinuous" topics that are considered the subject of discrete mathematics, on closer inspection, often continuous reasoning can be used effectively to motivate, explain, and better understand discrete topics, just as discrete forms of argument often help ground arguments about continuity. The slides in this talk examine many contexts drawn from elementary number theory, recurrence relations, logic, and iteration in which this interplay can be seen.
