Fox News Channel passed its chief cable news rival, CNN, in the ratings in 2002, and now it is aggressively seeking to press its advantage.
For all of 2004, Fox News had a 24-hour rating of 0.7 compared with CNN's 0.5 rating, according to Nielsen Media Research. In sales literature, Fox News emphasizes its prime-time dominance, pointing out that "The O'Reilly Factor," "Hannity & Colmes" and other shows outperform CNN's "Larry King Live."
Fox News' rating supremacy and demographic parity with CNN have enabled it to boost advertising revenue. Parent company News Corp. reported that Fox News increased its operating revenue by 45% in the last three months of 2004 compared with the year-earlier period.
Fox disputes revenue figures
Although TNS Media Intelligence shows that Time Warner's CNN still leads in advertising revenue-$356.1 million in the first 10 months of 2004 compared with $231.8 million for Fox News in the same time frame-that figure folds in CNN Headline News. Fox News has said it has eclipsed CNN in head-to-head ad revenue, and that its ad revenue for all of 2004 totaled $400 million and will reach $500 million this year. CNN says it remains the ad revenue leader.
Looking to expand the rising franchise, News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch has said that Fox News plans to launch a business news channel. It will take on CNBC in an arena where CNN failed, closing its CNNfn financial news network last year.
Fox News declined to comment for this story, but media buyers say the conservative-leaning network has used its strong ratings to boost its CPM by 20% to 25% over the past 18 months.
Commenting on the surge in Fox News' ratings during the election season, a media strategist speaking on condition of anonymity said, "Fox is about to cream CNN based on the latest research."
Without a ratings lead to lean on, CNN has taken a sales approach that relies on integrated packages and its reputation as a news gathering brand. Greg D'Alba, exec VP-COO of CNN advertising sales and marketing, pointed out that lost among the focus on Fox News' ratings growth is that the cable news category as a whole is growing, in part due to viewers departing from broadcast network newscasts.
The cable news category is of particular importance to larger b-to-b marketers, which often use cable news for TV spots. "Business decision-makers need to know what's happening," said Mike Paradiso, global media director of Computer Associates International. "Cable news always is relevant to b-to-b marketers that are using television as part of their program."
As the creator of this category about 25 years ago, CNN still charges what some media buyers describe as a significant premium over many other cable channels. Even with its TV ratings behind Fox News, CNN, particularly when considered as a broad brand, continues to attract an audience with strong demographics for b-to-b marketers. For instance, CNN and CNN Headline News together reach 56% of CEOs in a given week; Fox News reaches 31% and MSNBC, 27%, according to the 2004 Mendelsohn Affluent Survey.
CNN grew its revenue by 4.4% in the January-October period of 2004, compared with the same time frame in 2003, for other, more compelling reasons as well. While CNN alone has fallen behind Fox News in the ratings battle, the CNN brand has many iterations. Emphasizing this difference with Fox News, the CNN sales team has focused on selling integrated packages that combine CNN, CNN Headline News, CNN.com, CNN wireless and CNN broadband.
CNN Stresses broader brand
Beyond its own brands, CNN has the ability to partner with other Time Warner brands, such as Fortune. "Integration is the real growth area for us," D'Alba said.
Fox News can offer integrated packages that include its Web site and Fox News Radio. And with its proposed launch of a cable business news network, Fox News is taking steps to counter CNN's brand extensions.
At the same time, CNN is backing off its strategy of mimicking Fox News' emphasis on personality-based journalism as represented by shows such as "The O'Reilly Factor." CNN, for instance, recently dropped its own pundit program "Crossfire."
"I think they are going back to more straight news," said Brad Adgate, Horizon Media director of research.
CNN pointed to ratings during coverage of the Asian tsunami as validating its strength in international news. Meanwhile, Fox said its news coverage of the Iraqi elections outperformed CNN in the ratings.
In the end, each station in the cable news sector seems to have carved a unique niche for b-to-b advertisers. In the first nine months of 2004, the entire cable news universe grew, as Fox News, CNN and MSNBC all posted larger ad revenues than in the same period of 2003. "Every cable news network is doing very well right now," D'Alba said. As one media strategist observed with a laugh, "There are many CNN watchers you'll never reach through Fox [News]."

Foster care was the UP part of being put up for adoption.
The up-for-grabs, up-in-the-air, upsy-daisy part. The part in the story that was neither here nor there.
The long Hail Mary that took me from lost to found, relinquished to claimed.
It was a blank that my mother filled with gratitude, a) for the foster family, who took such good care of me and put me on a schedule and taught me how to smile at strangers and b) for the agency, especially that nice Miss S. who handled things so well. The way my mother talked about foster care made me feel special, pampered, as if I'd been at a spa. For this I am grateful. Maybe I should've just stayed in foster care my whole life with all those adoring fans.
Smile baby!
Foster care was cloaked in mystery for a good reason. It was the place where all the magic happened, where I was transformed from a curse to a blessing, from a nightmare to a dream come true. It was in foster care that one story was erased and another written. You see, in order to be adopted, all traces of the Other Family had to be washed away. The good and the bad. With each bottle, each diaper change, each nap on my tummy, I became less who-I-might've-been and more who-I-was-going-to-be. The centuries of genetic desire and frolic that went into making who-I-might've-been were null and void. Thrown out with the bath water. More suitable parents would be found. They had probably already been found! They were probably waiting by the phone, their hearts on stand by, arms at the ready, for their baby to arrive.
But it was in the best interest of every one involved to make the future parents wait just a bit, four months to be exact (six for my sister), until everything was secure and all previous claims banished.
Of course the window was kept open during those four months, just in case the Other Family had second thoughts, blood being thicker and stickier than the ink of adoption. Yes, if they chose, for what ever reason, not to relinquish their claim, the window would remain open, but not forever! Each day it closed a little more.
Hello, baby!
Here's your bottle, baby!
Upsy daisy, baby!
Smile, baby!
Foster care was the slow severing of the umbilical cord— are you sure you don't want to change your mind? Last chance….Because once the window was shut and the papers signed, the baby would be G.O.N.E.
Bye bye, baby.
With the finality of a death.
Only there would be no grave to house the grief, no little sprig of hair in a locket to hold, no christening dress to clutch to your heart, no little bonnet, no scent of new born scalp, no photos even, because adoption is not a death, it is life! It is hope! It is love!
Bye bye, baby.
A window shuts. A door opens and in come Mom and Dad.
We got the call from that nice Miss S. and she said, she had a baby for us, a baby girl… and here's were the story begins. Again and again. Forever and ever, amen.

eMeasure is an on-premise construction takeoff application designed for small commercial and residential builders especially those who prefer to use spreadsheets for estimating, but want rapid takeoff.
Drawings can be scanned in or uploaded via PDF, CAD and other file formats, then scaled and rotated within the application for optimal viewing. Users can control each drawing layer to view only what is necessary by turning layers on and off from a list.
Measurements to takeoff areas, lengths and counts can be made from 2D drawings using eMeasure's "Smart Snap Tools," then checked for accuracy by panning and zooming in the 3D view.
Other key functionality includes calibration, the ability to define units of measure, a conversion calculator, dimension export to spreadsheets and more. This software also supports negative dimensions and drawing overlay to view differences in plans and color settings to categorize measured areas.

- Overall good value for money and well suited to those undertaking smaller jobs
- Easy to use, plenty of tutorial videos to help explain each component of the software
- Ability to link measures to an Excel document
- Accepts wide range of file formats
- Apparent lack of updates and improvements to the software
- A highlighter tool would be useful for marking off descriptions/specifications on drawings
- The software allows for areas to be given a depth to create a volume. However it would be useful if multiple elements, each with their own depth, could be added to a single measure, e.g. to allow for the measurement of subgrades to a road

Very simple take off mode that is transferrable to an excel based system. I highly recommend this for small firms with limited resources/or just starting. This will help them deal with more opportunity for increasing business.
Other systems try to get you to buy into the "total package" that a start off business may not really need, does not have the time nor resources to learn and/ or adapt the "package" to fit their present needs---with a flexible cost. eMeasure has been smart to offer a very basic take off package at a very reasonable cost---

I have used several graphical take-off software packages and none of them compare to eMeasure. eMeasure is easy to setup, easy to use, and is adaptable to any project. With the ability to view my take-off in 3D and drag and drop measured dimensions directly into my own excel spreadsheets, I have everything I need to complete fast, accurate estimates.

This software is very intuitive in its own right, but the countless tutorial videos fill any gaps you can't work out for yourself. Overall a fabulous piece of good, simple, robust software that offers great value for money. My favorite function is the ability to convert a 2D drawing into a 3D representation of your take-off. We specialize in structural waterproofing, gas membranes, and environmental linings and all our work involves enveloping structures, which eMeasure+ goes 95% of the way to correctly representing via the 3D function.....if they manage to represent a tapering then they will of 100% cracked it!
My only criticisms of this software are that the "multiples" are not available to alter once you have uploaded a drawing which would be very useful when doing take-offs for housing developments and the like. The only other issue is that once a spreadsheet has been linked via the excellent eMeasure+ link, then in true Excel fashion that spreadsheet keeps looking for the data source, which is a pain once you have forwarded the spreadsheet on to a colleague or customer because the eMeasure+ take-off quantities turn into an Excel error code, but having said this, I now only issue the documents created using eMeasure+ as PDF's instead, so problem solved.
I would, and in fact already have thoroughly recommended eMeasure+ as a must try the piece of take-off software and I'm sure they too will see the benefits and commit to using eMeasure+ going forward.
In summary, its a cracking piece of software.....well-done eMeasure!
Excellent value for money
Very quick and easy to use
Fabulous 3D representations showing items that have been taken off
Very flexible in its use of PDF, DWG and many other format drawings and all with equal accuracy
Inability to change "multiples" once drawings been uploaded into the system
Small glitches with eMeasure+ and the Excel data link when publishing the spreadsheet to people who don't have access to the data source, so annoying Excel error codes appear where eMeasure quantities once were.
A very small niggle is that you cannot show taper lines on the 3D representation which would be very useful for the work we do where we "wrap" structures to waterproof them, so many structures include tapered foundations, SUDs Pond formations and the like.....if this was sorted then I would give this software 100% with no hesitation as the other issues can very easily be worked around, now that I've discovered the glitch.

Hi Martin, Thanks so much for your detailed review! Great to hear that you are enjoying using eMeasure! We will definitely pass your feedback regarding taper lines onto the team!
One quick note regarding eMeasure+ data links when publishing to others- it is possible to convert the live-links to plain values when sending out to clients simply by pressing the 'Store' button on the eMeasureXL tab. Once you've saved the spreadsheet and sent it off, clients can open it and see the figures without that pesky Error field! Then, if you want your live-links back again, just press 'Restore' and everything will revert to how it was before!
Also, we have responded to you directly about how to alter multiples as you require, so we're sure this solution will help achieve what you need!
Hope this helps and happy measuring!

Winnie Peng: Help for new shoe designers
Winnie Peng (Puhng) is Senior Project Manager for China Product Sourcing and Marketing Ltd. (CPSM). She hopes to encourage would-be footwear designers to turn their sketches into actual shoes. According to Peng the two most important factors for a shie designer to know is the actual cost of producing shoes and importing them from the shoe factory; combined with a good marketing plan in place to sell the new range, once made. Most would be shoe designers have the mistaken idea that 'everything's cheap in China' and never realize that it takes hundreds of dollars just to create a prototype and many have no idea of the cost for the full-production order. She hopes to overcome these short falls with a series of training videos to help educate and inspire a new generation of footwear designers to great success. Richard Alele contacted Peng four years ago and wanted to start a shoe line. Keen to succeed the two worked together and developed Star Rich Shoes.com. More information at www.shoe Manufacturer.com

Review: Going into this book, I wondered how new-to-me author Kele Moon would handle the pairing of a woman who escaped a physically abusive marriage with a man who makes his living in Mixed Martial Arts fights.
My take? Well-done Kele, well-done. 🙂
There's some old fashioned sweet romance and humour mixed in with lusty thoughts; from Melody Dylan and Clay "Powerhouse" Powers. We meet the pair in Hal's Diner on Thanksgiving, when Clay is eating alone while Melody is on duty.
She may be near broke, having left her abusive husband with the clothes on her back several months ago, but Melody is a kind woman who wants to make the hot yet lonely guy smile on a day that's all about family.
Too bad for Clay it's pumpkin pie. He hates it and wants to "gag" but not wanting to hurt the feelings of "the attractive blonde" who'd just served him the pie, Clay focuses on "the warm feeling in his chest" and takes a small bite.
Aww. Clay's a sweetheart underneath all those big, beefy muscles.
Just as he tries taking another bite; he's loathe to hurt Melody's feelings or waste her money since she's paid for the pie, in walks the Sheriff of Garnet and Clay's best friend, Wyatt Conner.
Through Wyatt, and later on his sister Jules, we get our first insight into what makes Clay 'tick'.
"Did you just smile at the new waitress?"
…Clay scowled. "I ain't sweet."
"I heard you say both thank you and sorry in less than a minute. Not to mention those pearly whites you were flashing," Wyatt argued, grin still wide and shrewd. "Forget pralines, I think ya wanna bite of Miss Dylan's pie."
…Broad shouldered, massive arms, Wyatt was one of the biggest, toughest men in Garnet, and that was saying something. The only guy who'd probably get better odds in a fight just happened to be sitting across from him.
"How 'bout I take a bite outta you," Clay shot back in a low and vicious voice."
"Nah, I don't swing that way." Wyatt took a long drink of his coffee, seeming undisturbed by the fury directed at him. "Thanks for asking, though."
(I loved the camaraderie between these three and am looking forward to reading their stories in the rest of the BATTERED HEARTS series.)
Clay's decision to accept a piece of pumpkin pie from Melody was the first step toward their unique HEA but the journey was not without bumps.
DEFYNG THE ODDS may be listed under erotic romance, and yes there are hot sex scenes, but Melody and Clay take their time working up toward a physical relationship.
This makes sense, given her past and his reluctance to scare her off because of his job as a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter.
Kele Moon doesn't go into too much detail about the physical abuse Melody suffered in the past but you get a very good idea of what she suffered through something as simple, and chilling, as when Melody tells Clay she used to take lots of baths with an herbal remedy because it made bruises fade faster.
Clay wanted to go find her scumbag of an ex-husband, Justin, and beat him up. That's one fight the UFC heavyweight champion would really enjoy wining.
Knowing her ex began stalking her after the divorce, you're wondering if and when Justin will show up in Garnet.
There's a scary moment that sends Melody running away from her budding relationship.
Clay is left baffled and hurt and it's not until he has championship fight out of state that Melody realises running away won't solve anything.
The specter of Justin the ex is still there but you're lulled into thinking he just might not show up at all…when suddenly, Melody finds herself face-to-face with him.
This is a book with a HEA, so you know Melody survives Justin's clutches but not without blood being shed by more than one person.

Publication date: June 2012
Synopsis: A woman running from an abusive past. A famous UFC heavyweight fighter who relies on his fists for a living. A slice of pie on Thanksgiving brings these two unlikely lovers together.
The stranger ends up being Clay Powers, a famous UFC heavyweight fighter. Clay's large build and dangerous fists have always intimidated. People in his hometown keep their distance and Clay is fine with that. Everything changes when a new waitress at the local diner buys him a piece of pie on Thanksgiving. Touched by the gesture when it's obvious she can barely afford to survive, her warm smile and lush body churn up powerful feelings that leave Clay wanting more from her than pie.
Melody is running from her past and the small, country town of Garnet is the perfect hiding place. With an ex-husband after her and scars from her abusive marriage etched deep, the last thing she expects is to fall for a man who makes a living with his fists, but she can't resist Clay or the tender connection they share.
Finding love in the most unlikely of places, the passion is undeniable, but Clay and Melody know their haunted pasts and unpredictable futures leave the odds stacked against them.
Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual situations, graphic language, and material that some readers may find objectionable: violence.

This is an incredible find, William Wilberforce writing to a 14 year old family friend, counselling them over their suffering and misery and pointing them to the comfort that God has done this for their good. Would you dare counsel a 14 year this way?
If you want to encourage your children or young people to be actively listening during the service, then some kind of worksheet is not a terrible idea. This is a good example below. I know someone who asks one of his daughters to draw quick pictures of what they think the preacher is saying. It helps her think through the passage.
(Found floating round the internet, annoying I can't find the original source.)
Gary Lineker's wrote some great things about pushy parents and football. It's relevant to anyone dealing with aggressive parenting in any walk of life, but if you do teach football this video showing what it's like for kids to play on an adult pitch is a must watch.
Today sees the publishing of a report by think tank Theos into Britain's spirituality; The Spirit of Things Unseen: belief in post-religious Britain).pdf. Much has been made of how people are still very 'spiritual' even if not religious. This shouldn't be particularly surprising, when people cease to believe in the teachings of Jesus, they may disown all spiritual things and take up pure atheism, but they're far more likely to slip into empty superstition.

We meet in St Andrews Church in central London (EC3A 8BN).
10.30am Coffee and doughnuts
11am Seminar and discussion
12.45pm Lunch
As usual, please pass on the details to other youthworkers who you know, and bring your apprentices / ministry trainees along. If you'd like to come along please RSVP by emailing the office () especially if you'd like to stay for lunch.
Why do young people become athiests? Fascinating reading, from an American perspective but it rings true with my experience here.

Benefits of Getting Wrong Numbers: Follow Up
I received many calls about my May 27, 2014 blog questioning my recommendation that quick "wrong" numbers are better than tardy accurate numbers, so feel I need to explain this a little more.
That blog, and this one, refers to interim numbers provided to management that will be used by them to control the business or not-for-profit organization and their activities, not year-end amounts that will be reported on a tax return or financial statement being provided to anyone other than immediate management.
QUESTION: What is the purpose of interim numbers?
REPLY: To assist management and perhaps owners and board members.
QUESTION: What is the importance of quick numbers that are inaccurate?
REPLY: The use of the quick numbers is to provide indications of developing trends, relationships, increases where there should be declines, or drops where there should be growth, product line sales and gross margins, out of sync issues, transactions not fitting into established classifications, growing liabilities or stagnating asset values.
QUESTION: How can managers possibly benefit from information that is wrong?
REPLY: Involved managers can review what they are provided using their knowledge of the organization, its operations and financial structure to detect unexpected or developing issues so an understanding of them can be uncovered earlier. This allows for unsatisfactory directions or positive trends to be acted upon or taken advantage of quicker. It is not expected that the managers will review the amounts without having anything register in their brains. "Knock- knock, you better be there!"
QUESTION: Shouldn't they wait to receive accurate information?
REPLY: Management should receive accurate information quickly, and if they don't, they are not doing their jobs well. However, I am dealing with reality and not ideals, and where accurate information could not be produced, alternatives must be developed so that controls can be maintained. My suggestion is one of those controls.
QUESTION: Can you define what you mean by wrong information?
REPLY: Wrong information can include financial statements that are cut off at the end of the month before all of the essential information has been entered such as purchase invoices, sales returns, bank transfers or letters of credit. This information is key, but sometimes current datais not available or is received "piece meal" from various sources. Also, many times inventory changes, accruals or prepayments are not properly or timely recorded or miss-postings are not yet corrected. Many businesses wait until all this information is received, calculated or analyzed before "closing" off the month and issuing the report. This can take a week or more after the end of the month. For a not-for-profit, it could be the entering of contribution pledges or cancellations, or allocating revenues or costs to program categories.
QUESTION: Assuming the information you described in the previous question is not entered or is wrong, what possible benefit can there be to using the financial statements?
REPLY: Actually, there can be great benefits, just that not for every item on the statement. An example is the key numbers being substantially, but not perfectly, correct. Sales amounts and month to month, or this month and same month last year, or sales by department or product line trends can still be examined and discussed. Likewise, for profit margins based on raw material purchased or received or variable payroll costs. Also balance sheet items can be scanned for large or unusual changes, and then discussed.
QUESTION: Are there any controls you can place over the "size" of the inaccuracies?
REPLY: A simple control is to look at the previous month's numbers as adjusted a month later after all items are updated and comparing it to what was originally presented. This will show the materiality of the effect of the noncurrent statements. Repeated large misstatements can be provided for by recurring adjustments or special effort to work on these items timely, or to set up procedures to care for these items in a more propitious manner.
QUESTION: Is there anything else you want to add that wasn't asked?
REPLY: Yes. The numbers – even though wrong – can serve as a catalyst to a discussion about the operations and what is going on with the business. I have seen many such discussions lead to disclosure of items that might not ordinarily be talked about. This is a process that works.
There are many other benefits and many other ways of analyzing interim financial statements and data. The above is one technique that has worked very well for me and the clients I consult with. Each organization and manager needs to develop their own methods. However, the method I mentioned by using quick and inaccurate numbers is very effective. If you typically receive tardy or late numbers, consider what I suggest.
Whatever method you use should be an effective tool to provide you with information needed to better run your business or organization. That is the goal and that is what you should strive for.
June 3, 2014 11:49 am
Thanks for the update. I fully agree that it is better to get numbers early with the caveat that they are not complete. In our firm we know revenues and staff costs on a daily basis. With those two numbers we can detect trends and make management decisions long before we have booked all the expenses into the statements. A few good numbers kept up to date can provide loads of decision making data. As the famous general once said:
A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.

Without a functioning toilet, the most important part of your bathroom won't work.
Issues with your toilet aren't always serious enough to require new models. Sometimes, the problems are minor and can be fixed with some DIY tips and tricks.
If your toilet isn't working or sounding like normal, here are some quick actions you can take back control of your bathroom.
If your toilet isn't flushing all the way, it could be a sign of issues with the lift/flapper chain, as there may be too much slack. Make sure it's hanging from the lever in a straight line relative to the flapper.
Both sides of the chain should be connected to something: one to the flapper and the other to a lever. This chain needs to be positioned in a straight line to the flapper while also being the correct length. Too long of a chain means the flapper can't reset after a flush.
Use needle-nose pliers if you need to adjust the length of the link chain or to bend hooks.
A constant hissing sound from a toilet indicates issues with the supply line.
Check the float, refill tube or ballcock, as one of these pieces is the likely culprit for making its way through the inlet-valve.
Fixing a toilet can be easy, but it can just as well be challenging because issues may be difficult to pinpoint. Call your local Yonkers Roto-Rooter today for help fixing a toilet.

Fran and I had nipped over to Arger Fen (part of Suffolk Wildlife Trust) and even on a dull day they were beautiful.
The contrast with the new green growth on the trees was soul lifting.
Some were in areas with other wild flowers, Greater Stitchwort and Yellow Archangel here.
We also saw an Early Purple orchid and heard a chiffchaff, cuckoo and a blackcap. (The blackcap warning call was identified thanks to the amazingness of twitter).
Close up bluebells always amaze me with their delicacy.
I've now discovered that I can walk from our country park to another Suffolk Wildlife Trust reserve, Cornard Mere - it has Water Rail, I am rather excited. I'll let you know how I get on.

Innovation is a key component of any free-market economy. Unfortunately, there are many who believe that unencumbered innovation ought to be curbed, despite the fact that capitalism is the system that has generated the most prosperity in human history.
The latest example of this comes from the Securities and Exchange Commission, a federal bureaucracy charged with regulating markets and allegedly protecting investors. The SEC was tasked with writing regulatory rules for the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, which was signed into law in April of 2012 under the much-heralded promise that everyday investors—not just accredited millionaires—could acquire early stakes in startups through "equity crowdfunding."
As Christopher Mims explained at the Wall Street Journal, "Allowing everyday Americans to invest in today's high-growth startups—picture grandma and grandpa putting a portion of their retirement savings into the next pre-IPO Facebook—has long been the dream of advocates of so-called equity crowdfunding." (Pre-IPO is a reference to a startup before its "initial public offering," i.e., before a private company sells stock to the public.)
"Imagine" writes Mims, "if all the people who backed the Oculus Rift VR headset—which raised $2.5 million on crowdfunding site Kickstarter in 2012 and was sold to Facebook for $2 billion in 2014—had gotten a piece of the company, instead of just early access to its headsets." It's certainly a hypothetical worth exploring, and one that the JOBS Act was supposed to address.
Unfortunately, as the SEC's restrictive rules around the JOBS Act become clearer, we're seeing a fairly typical confluence of established interests supporting government efforts to restrict new economic activity. As Mims notes, the disclosure requirements and limits on investments written into the regulatory schema—which arguably go against the law's original intent—make equity crowdfunding in high-growth startups all but impossible.
Not surprisingly, there are professional investors who feel the SEC's rules are reasonable and not, for lack of a better term, blatantly patronizing. Charles Moldow, a partner at Foundation Capital, told Mims, "the idea that a nonaccredited or even accredited investor is going to somehow be successful at early-stage venture capital strikes me as challenging."
Even if Moldow is correct, it begs the question: so what? The government doesn't stop the housewife with a shoe fetish from maxing out her credit card at Macy's. Why should it stop a stay-at-home mom with an eye for tech trends from making an arguably more responsible early-stage investment with the potential for return?
Ben Weingarten at The Federalist is correct when he states simply: "The government thinks you're too dumb to try crowdfunding." He adds: "All of these rules and regulations presumably are intended to protect investors from themselves. But is this the job of government? And what does it say about the government's dim view of the public that unelected bureaucrats at the SEC ought to have such control over how we invest our money?"
Frankly, even if the government were adept at protecting small-time investors, it isn't their role. And the truth is, markets are always better regulators than bureaucrats. Weingarten sums it up aptly:
Free markets composed of individuals participating in voluntary exchange are remarkably adept at digesting information and allocating capital accordingly. As a regulator, the marketplace calibrates the subjective preferences of consumers and investors and bakes in all available knowledge to price signals, resulting ultimately in profits or losses. The SEC, try though it might, is an inferior regulator.
The SEC's crowdfunding rules are set to go into effect in May of this year, and as Mims notes, although it's possible that Congress will challenge these regulations, we're still a long way from "Kickstarter but for shares in a company." The government, as usual, works at a snail's pace. It took until 2012 to pass what seemed like a commonsense, pro-market law, then another three years for a bureaucracy to set us back to square one.
In the meantime however, feel free to gamble your money away in various nonsensical fashions—but don't you dare acquire early-stage shares in a company!

The act is performed when two males are getting it on on the beach, and the pitcher removes his member from the catchers anal cavity, dips it in the sand, and re-inserts his hot beef injection into his unsuspecting partner creating great pain and discomfort.

Award-winning Canadian ultra-runner and colleagues will travel to southern tip of the world in 35 days - fuelled by solar power, gourmet pemmican, Gatorade, and dehydrated cheese OTTAWA, Nov. 19 /CNW Telbec/ - Moon boots? Check. Gourmet pemmican? Check. Gatorade? Check. That's the checklist of a polar adventurer: on December 1st, Canadian ultra-runner Ray Zahab, best known for running across the Sahara Desert, and his explorer colleagues Richard Weber and Kevin Vallely begin the first leg of their journey to the South Pole - their goal to make history by breaking the speed record for crossing the 1130 kilometres from Hercules Inlet on the Ronne Ice Shelf to the South Pole. They will cover 35 kilometres a day, for 35 days, in notorious headwinds and the freezing cold in an environment of virtually constant daylight and an elevation of 10 000 feet while carting 150-pound sleds! But the expedition isn't just about speed and overcoming a difficult environment: it's about environmental awareness, education, and inspiring youth across North America and even the world. That's the mission of Impossible 2 Possible (i2P), a non-profit organization seeking to link adventure and sustainability causes in the minds of youth and to inspire the next generation of global leaders. For more information, visit www.impossible2possible.com. "Most of all, we want to inspire young people with the idea that if you put your mind to something and you work hard, you can achieve something that would otherwise seem impossible," said Ray Zahab. "On the face of it, racing to the South Pole in an environment like running in a turbine and trying to break the speed record sounds impossible - but we believe it's not. We want to set an example, and we want to educate people - especially youth - through experiential learning." In keeping with i2P's goals, the South Pole Quest features significant educational and research components. The expedition team is engaging young people through an interactive educational program of web-based modules for students (of mostly high school-age) that will track the expedition and educate the students on issues raised by a trip to the South Pole, such as the effects of greenhouse gases, plate tectonics, and even the history of South Pole expeditions such as that of Roald Amundsen. Thousands of students across North America are confirmed to participate - from British Columbia to Illinois! They will be following Ray, Richard, and Kevin through their blog and through the tracking functions on the expedition's website: www.southpolequest.com. The explorers will keep in touch by satellite phone and by blog updates uploaded to the website. Even more young people will be linked in to the expedition through the organization Students on Ice: www.studentsonice.com. The South Pole Quest will also be the subject of scientific research conducted by the University of Arizona and the University of Washington. The expedition team will be studied by researchers inquiring into the effect of passion and group dynamics in high-calibre endurance endeavours, as well as by researchers conducting a human physiology study measuring body fat, caloric intake, and heart rate reactions. Impossible 2 Possible (i2P) - an active 501c3, non-profit organization in the United States - seeks to inspire a generation of youth to realize that they have the ability to achieve and exceed any perceived limits they think they may have - and that they hold the keys to contributing in making the world a better place - for themselves, and their peers. Ray Zahab is known for numerous first-place finishes in some of the most extreme ultra-running competitions in the world. His run across the Sahara Desert is the subject of a documentary, Running the Sahara, executive-produced by Matt Damon. Richard Weber is a world-class explorer who has more than 45 Arctic expeditions to his name. Kevin Vallely is a well-established journalist and adventurer. For more information on all three expedition team members, please visit the website. The i2P 2008 South Pole Quest primary sponsors are Gatorade, Energy and Procurement Magazine, and Crocs. For a detailed list of all sponsors that have made this possible, please visit the sponsor page on the South Pole Quest website. South Pole Quest Timeline November 17 Ray departs Toronto for staging area of Punta Arenas, Chile. He will be available by telephone and email. November 18-26 Ray, Richard, and Kevin prepare for their expedition from the staging area. They will be available by satellite telephone and email. November 26th-December 1st (weather permitting) Ray and colleagues depart Chile for Antarctica and begin practice period. They will be available by satellite telephone, and by blog. December 1 Ray, Richard and Kevin begin in earnest the 35-day race to the South Pole! They will be available by satellite telephone, and by blog, while there.

The federal Tax system measures energy efficiency by offering a rating system for every type of appliance and heating element. Consumers use appliances each day. Most try to save money. Understanding how energy classification systems work helps every household save money. Consumers can buy appliances that save on water use, electric use and gauge their ability to heat up the square footage of their homes. It is possible to buy appliance that last longer.
Appliances are considered today for purchase by the Energy factor. This measures the efficiency of water heaters, air conditioners and heating systems measuring the Energy factor. Older appliances use a great deal of electricity so in many instances it is a good idea to update. These appliances operate with less energy and create less heat and less pollution for the surrounding environment.
There are many ways to measuring the efficiency of a homes heating, windows and doors. The R factor weighs in on insulation and the U-Factor gives buyers the information they need to measure the heat holding ability of skylights, windows and doors.
A gas heating system is issued the AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating. The better the score the more heating a system offers for the dollar. Newer homes have the latest appliances using these energy efficiency ratings; these homes are improved in the ability to manage fuel usage.
SEER is another measurement of the energy efficiency, the better the level of efficiency the better the rating for appliances. The consumer is becoming more selective and products are competing harder. Energy standing is important to the manufacturer and the purchaser.
Heating Seasonal performance factor (HSPF), ratings operate from 7.0 to 9.4. Increase the HSPF the efficiency level is greater. Many appliances are Energy Star approves helping people confused about the many ratings choose appliance that will help save them money.
The more the consumer knows about these ratings the greater the savings will be when purchasing appliances. Energy costs are increasing. More countries are demanding energy increasing the need for fuel resources. Countries once selling fuel are now holding more for the resident population, making energy efficiency more important than ever.

Love these. Bouts are so often overlooked or an afterthought. These are great!
I love these bouts! Simple and elegant.
So simple and fresh. I love them!

Such a simple, yet so cute idea!


text: Hi all. Yet another digibash of mine that I'm planning on turning into a kitbash. I'm going to wait for the weather to get better, so the painting will go well, but I've decided to make some digibashes to get some ideas for the details for when I do the actually kitbashing. This one is a custom character that I'm currently coming up with, based on myself. I've been thinking about this one since I found out about kitbashing, but I've never really found a good mld for it. The Classics BB mold has happened to come the closest to what I would look like if I was a TF. As you can see, he's going to be a part of the Dinobots, but doesn't have a dino alt mode. I'll cover that in detail in the background story that I'm working on. I'm going to change the paint apps up a bit, but I've done a basic digibash to see what the colors and new head will look like on the mold. Comments/criticisms/ideas are welcom, just be civil and understanding please. Thanks for looking. Peace out. Bot mode- Alt mode-

HELLO, beauties! It's the first weekend of June (finally!) and summer attire is out to play! This is a different type of FashionFriday post, but I'm excited! The theme I picked is stripes. This pattern can be difficult to play with for any and every body type- honestly, it all depends on the cut and size of the stripes and the material the piece is made of.
In my last post, I mentioned a little boutique called Vernacular. Today, I decided to treat myself since I had my first pay from my new job, and bought this amazing black|white stripe dress! I fell in love with the light tan leather pockets on the front, and there's a two-button detail on the left shoulder that adds a little fun detail. + A dress like this could be worn in nearly every season because while it is a bit thicker material, you could easily easily pair this with black hose and ankle booties or even basic flats! So versatile!
Now all I need is a pop of color with a statement necklace! What would you pair a dress like this with? I'd love to hear!

Oscars: Host Neil Patrick Harris Jokes About "So White" Nominees
The emcee captioned a photo of this year's luncheon with a quip alluding to the lack of diversity among the 2015 contenders.
Don't be surprised if Oscars host Neil Patrick Harris makes a few jokes about the lack of diversity among this year's nominees when he hosts the Academy Awards later this month.
The emcee indicated such quips were at the front of his mind in a tweet with a photo from Monday's Oscar Nominees Luncheon.
Harris, who was on hand for the annual event at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, took a selfie in front of this year's nominees, gathered for their traditional group photo. In the picture Harris tweeted, the lighting has washed out the faces of all of the nominees.
The actor captioned the image "They all look so white! #toosoon"
The 20 acting nominations this year went to a group made up entirely of white actors and actresses, only the second time in nearly two decades that has happened, with the last instance occurring in 2011. The two writing categories were dominated by white men, with no women nominated for best original or adapted screenplay, and the best director category consisted solely of men, with Birdman's Mexican helmer Alejandro G. Inarritu the only non-white contender.
The lack of diversity has been a popular topic on Twitter, with the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite trending on the day nominations were announced, and in Hollywood, with George Lucas and Spike Lee among those who have weighed in on this year's whitewashed group.
Motion Picture Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs also addressed the controversy the day after the nominations were announced, telling the Associated Press that while she's proud of this year's contenders, the homogeneity of the nominees inspires her to push for more diversity within the Academy.
Harris wasn't the only one at Monday's luncheon to tackle one of this year's Oscar controversies. Bradley Cooper weighed in on the heated debate that his nominated film, American Sniper, is generating, saying, "Any discussion that sort of sheds light on the plight of the soldiers and the men and women in the armed services, for that discussion to occur is fantastic."

Wow can't believe it's been over a year since I've written on my blog.
Time surely flies fast. So much has happened.
Looking at my last blog that I have written, it's crazy how things have turned out.
Previous blog was of how alone I felt but now I come back to this blog as girl craving some privacy and space.
Another valuable lesson I have learned shall be pasted here for the future me to see and learn how much I have grown.
Over the past few weeks, Life has reminded me that selfishness still exists innately in human beings.
A truth I have been forgetting for the past year. A truth that brings me dread and tears.
I forgot how the bitter taste of betrayal tasted like. I haven't tasted it since high school.
But here I am again, remembering the sharp salty and bitter taste of it. Just like the Korean herbal medicine.
Bitter but beneficial.
I have learned that I was foolish when presenting my trust to those close around me.
Trust can take long years to build but only one second to destroy.
I believe I am good. I don't believe I am always the victim ( I know there's a devil inside me) but I know I am good.
I believe I have proved my goodness too.
But, all i receive is disloyalty and selfishness of others.
The hurt I have received burns my heart so much I do not even want to bother resolving the problem.
I'm emotionally drained.
Being so vulnerable. I hate it. I have no defense to protect my weak self. That's why I hate her so much.
They all know about me. And I hate it. I want my privacy.
That's why I come to this difficult decision.
Let me be selfish like them.
Let me be brutal like them.
Let me destroy them like them.
Show them how it feels.
Show them that they have dug their own graveyard.
My " Eye for an eye" motto has come back and lies on my head like a crowning jewel.
You have brought out the blackness that I have buried.
What have you done.

Well, I've eventually bit the bullet and treated myself to the new running tool that I've been promising myself for the last few months. The Garmin Forerunner 305, which is certainly the biggest watch in the world but hey, if it helps me to get a better time doing the Edinburgh Marathon this year then I'll be happy with the cost. I'm going to be using it tonight on my fist day at the gym for many month. I'll let you know how I get on with it. 🙂
Joined the gym on Saturday, got my kit with me tonight. I've not been running since August last year so it's going to be messy, I'm still contemplating what running training schedule from my book "The Competitive Runners Handbook". I think I'll take it easy tonight and try and gauge my fitness lever before I commit to either the "Novice and Intermediate Competitors" or the "Basic Competitors 16 week Training Schedule".
I'll add some comments about the Garmin Forerunner 305 when I've used it enough to have an opinion on it. In the meantime, here's a nice cheesie Soft Rock Video extolling the virtues of Garmin, enjoy! 😉
At some point, I'm going to have to put in some more information, if nothing else, as a reminder to myself for the next Marathon. I thought I would include some running terminology below my current training regime to explain some of the terms. 🙂
Running Terminology:
10-K pace
10-K pace, when used in a workout to describe how fast to run, is simply the pace of a runner's last 10-K race
K is for kilometers, 1,000 meters. A 5-K is equal to 3.1 miles; 8-K is 4.96 miles; 10-K is equal to 6.2 miles.
400 meters
Equivalent to a quarter mile or 1 lap around a standard track.
800 meters
Equivalent to a half-mile or 2 laps around a standard track.
Derived from the Swedish term that means 'Speed Play', fartlek can provide an excellent endurance and strength session, as well as help improve your speed and race awareness. Fart=speed and lek=play
The use of 'fartlek' came about to provide a less structured approach to that of interval training. Its origins and use were developed in the 1930's. Whereas, in interval training the structure prescribes a given distance run in a given time with a given rest, fartlek's approach is to have you run at a given time, 2 minutes for example over undulating terrain or flat wherever your run may take you. The effort prescribed can be at 10k race pace to whatever speed you wish to make your effort. The rest in-between is normally at an easy pace to allow recovery before the next effort.
Tempo Run
The goal of tempo running is to improve your running pace, make your running style more efficient and improve your running times. It should avoid the fatigue and soreness of running a long distance. Tempo running is where you run at a hard, but controlled, pace. Physiologically you would be around your anaerobic threshold – the highest effort level at which your body can perform without building up lactic acid. This is the waste product that accumulates in the muscles causing discomfort and fatigue. As such it should be fairly taxing, with an effort level you would describe as "slightly hard", roughly 8/10.

The collection includes digitized articles and advertising images of Protestant children and families in the U.S., within Protestant-supported or targeted magazines held in the Duke University Divinity School Library. This project follows two strains. First, we note the depiction of family size and health, article-related images and advertisements on scientific nutrition, and other images directly related to scientific progress and domesticity. The second strain is currently less fully developed, on the depiction of families in mission settings, in particular depictions of family life in the two-thirds world. These images are of interest for those teaching in North American religious history, gender and religion, health and religion, and bioethics.
The collection is co-sponsored by Dr. Amy Laura Hall and Andrew Keck, Duke Divinity School.
We acknowledge the generous support of the ATLA/ATS Cooperative Digital Resources Initiative (CDRI), funded by the Luce Foundation and the Valparaiso Child in Religion and Ethics Program, funded by the Lilly Foundation in the digitization and description of these images.

QIB unveils funds scheme for small firms
Doha, July 31, 2011
Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB), the largest Islamic bank in Qatar, has launched a new banking programme for micro-enterprises.
The programme aims to provide innovative finance solutions that cater to the needs of smaller start-ups and to empower ambitious entrepreneurs to take their business to new levels through funding their fixed assets and working capital.
QIB's initiative is in line with Qatar's economic strategy to enhance small enterprises with Enterprise Qatar being at the forefront of empowering this strategic segment that plays a crucial role in the development of the country and the creation of new job opportunities.
QIB's financing programme aims at helping micro-enterprises and small businesses to increase their productivity and profitability while enabling them to deal effectively and efficiently with the banking sector.
"The Qatari government places much emphasis on developing a strong small business sector as it is critical to the growth of the local economy," said Ahmad Meshari, acting CEO, Qatar Islamic Bank.
"QIB aligns itself with this strategy by supporting this sector with specialized financial solutions, as well as sound financial advice. The launch of this financing scheme for smaller enterprises is further evidence of this commitment."
"The Qatar economy is currently undergoing tremendous growth, and at times such as these, smaller businesses need support, tools and resources if they are to continue making a significant contribution to the local economy. QIB is well positioned to help foster the small business sector as a catalyst for growth and job creation in Qatar," added Meshari.
Syed Maqbul Quader, Group chief risk officer, QIB, said: "This scheme will be highly beneficial for the micro-enterprises in Qatar and is very much in line with QIB's objective to serve all sectors in the country, which will also promote social welfare in society."
"Initiatives such as these will definitely help nurture entrepreneurial spirit among a large number of ambitious entrepreneurs and foster the growth of a strong business culture in the country," he added.
QIB has recently signed an Al Dhameen agreement with Qatar Development Bank in order to finance and help SMEs to develop into bigger and more successful companies through access to investment funding and working capital.
The Al Dhameen programme is instrumental in diversifying income sources for the Qatari economy and invigorating the SME sector. – TradeArabia News Service
