Efforts by PND vendors to roll out Android-based devices may impede by Google's intention to hammer out a set of compliance standards for Android-based in-car platforms, according to industry observers.
Under the compliance standards, the roll-out of Android-based PND devices by related suppliers will be subject to Google's strict verification process – a measure which could have a strong impact on both car makers and telematics device providers, said the observers.
A number of PND makers, including Garmin, Mitac International and Papago have already rolled out Android-based devices, but since most PND suppliers are not member companies of the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA), their products are unable to secure verification from Google, or are unable to comprehensively support all Google applications.
It remains to be seen whether PND suppliers will roll out PND devices that meet the planned compliance standards, or simply avoid the regulations by transforming themselves into white-box Android PND makers as white-box smartphone makers did, said the sources.

Sentencing reset for Saudi convicted in Vegas case
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Sentencing was postponed in Nevada for a Saudi Arabian air force sergeant found guilty of raping a 13-year-old California boy at a Las Vegas Strip hotel.
A judge noted Wednesday that 24-year-old Mazen Alotaibi (MAH'-zen ah-loh-TAH'-bee) faces a mandatory minimum of 35 years in state prison before she agreed to delay sentencing to March 31.
The judge let Alotaibi's trial attorney, Don Chairez (shar-EHZ'), turn the case over to defense attorneys Dominic Gentile (jen-TEEL') and Vincent Savarese (sav-ahr-EES').
Savarese says he and Gentile want to review the trial record and prepare an appeal of Alotaibi's conviction.
A jury found Alotaibi guilty in October of kidnapping and forcing sex on the boy in the bathroom of a sixth-floor room at the Circus Circus hotel on New Year's Eve 2012.

Abstract | The body of franchising research that deals with the choice of organisational form examines the motivational incentives that influence entrepreneurs to choose franchising expansion rather than expansion through company owned units. Although, many past conceptual, exploratory and explanatory studies advocate the benefits of hybrid organisational arrangements, in practice, few firms pursue a pure franchising strategy. While this may be partially explained by studies linking plural or chain organisations (simultaneous use of franchised and company owned units) with the promotion of standardisation and system-wide adaptability to competition, it contrasts with recent research showing that franchising strategies are an optimal method of maximising system performance. Given this apparent disparity in the literature, together with what is observed in practice, further investigation into the reasons why franchisors encourage the growth of plural governance structures is warranted. This research aims to build theory through the presentation of a set of general propositions explaining the choice of plural governance structures as a function of local market innovation, organisational learning and system-level adaptation, the maintenance of operational standards through mutual benchmarking and the provision of experienced prospective franchisees, necessary for future system growth. Overall, the qualitative findings drawn from a sample of franchisors within the retail and services industries clarified and confirmed the appropriateness of the general propositions in preparation for quantitative testing in the near future. |

Emeka Akanike, a person intimately connected with some of the earliest blackmail stories coming out of Abuja, is very much back in the business of blackmail and theft. Emeka does not appear to spend much time running his company Aquanike Nigeria Ltd since he is often traveling between Benin where his mother resides (Off Ihama Road), and Abuja. Many of his old friends have moved on and found real jobs but Emeka still recruits and trains younger ones to use as bait. Since we know he and his partners in crime read this blog, be warned, we are looking to obtain pictures from your coming wedding for publication here. We know your dry boutique at Adesuwa Road, Benin crashed but there is no excuse for your turning to crime to fund your wedding.

Output-inflation and unemployment-inflation trade-offs under inflation targeting: Evidence from Brazil
Purpose – This article aims to analyze if the adoption of inflation targeting in Brazil contributed to an improvement in the conduction of monetary policy capable of increasing credibility and reducing inflation without an increase in the sacrifice rate. Design/methodology/approach – Considering the Brazilian experience, this article estimates, through GMM and VAR methods, the offsetting effects of a monetary policy change on the output-inflation and unemployment-inflation trade-offs. Findings – The findings denote that the disinflationary process implemented in Brazil, after the adoption of inflation targeting, is not associated with the emergence of the above-mentioned trade-offs. Furthermore, the development of credibility in the conduction of monetary policy is an important element responsible for the achievement of this result. Practical implications – Development of credibility is an important strategy for improving the conduction of the monetary policy. Originality/value – The results of the paper give some new insights about the conduction of monetary policy for developing countries, which have adopted inflation targeting.Download Info

Monday, Feb 36:49 PM
- Vestas Wind Systems (VWDRY) reports its first quarterly profit since 2011 and says it plans to raise new financing by issuing shares and replacing a credit line.
- Q4 net income was €218M ($295M) while revenue fell to ~€2.35B from €2.5B, but both figures easily beat analyst expectations.
- Vestas says it expects revenue of at least €6B in 2014, margin of at least 5% on EBIT and a minimum of €300M of free cash flow.
- The company plans to sell as many as 20.4M new shares through a private placement at market price, equivalent to nearly 10% of existing stock, and arranges a five-year €850M revolving credit facility which replaces an existing €650M line.
- Vestas "delivered in style," Sydbank analyst Jacob Pedersen says, adding that the share sale is "the best way, the cheapest way and the right tactic," to raise money.

Monday, Jan 62:15 PM
- Vestas Wind Systems (VWDRY +6%) raises its cash flow target for the third time in a year, as the wind turbine manufacturer shows further signs that its recovery is taking hold.
- Vestas says its free cash flow last year would total ~€1B vs. a previous forecast of €500M-€700M and a year ago expecting cash flow just above zero.
- Vestas enjoyed one of its busiest-ever months for orders in December as it unveiled a number of large U.S. deals involving more than 400 turbines from the likes of Enel Green Power and First Wind.

- Wind turbine project developers are rushing to begin construction on projects before year's end, and thereby guarantee the projects are eligible for a tax credit (worth $0.023 per kWh) that expires on Jan. 1.
- However, this isn't the first time construction has picked up ahead of a subsidy expiration. And since previous deadlines required projects to be completed (rather than just started) before a subsidy expired, the pressure on developers isn't quite as intense this time around.
- Over the last two decades, Congress has allowed a wind tax credit to expire several times before later renewing it. Construction activity has generally fallen sharply following an expiration.
- Wind turbine maker Vestas (VWDRY) has scored a slew of U.S. orders ahead of the deadline. The deadline also has implications for struggling turbine component/software maker American Superconductor (AMSC -1.3%).

- Vestas Wind Systems (VWDRY +4.1%) wins a 350 MW wind turbine order from Enel Green Power (ELPSY) in Oklahoma, its fourth U.S. deal in just over three months following eight months of inactivity.
- Vestas will supply 175 of its V100 2 MW turbines to Enel's U.S. unit and may add another 636 MW.
- A renewed U.S. tax credit, which pays wind-farm owners 2.3 cents for every KW-hour of power they produce, now applies to all projects that begin construction before the end of 2013; earlier this week, Siemens reported a 1,050 MW order from Warren Buffett's MidAmerican Energy.

- Broadwind Energy (BWEN +14.4%) is set to be a major beneficiary of Siemens $1B-plus power contract with MidAmerican Energy, supplying the towers for the 448 wind turbines that will equip five wind power projects in Iowa.
- The move by Warren Buffett's utility company shows how a drop in equipment costs is making renewable energy more competitive with power from fossil fuels - a boost for suppliers including BWEN, Siemens (SI), GE and Vestas (VWDRY, VWSYF), and a threat to coal miners (KOL).
- MidAmerican expects to close some coal-powered plants in 2015 as the price of wind power (FAN) continues to slide, an exec says.

- Vestas (VWDRY +14.7%) shares soar to their highest level in two and a half years after reporting a narrower Q3 loss and significantly boosting its cash flow forecast for 2013, showing that turnaround efforts may be taking hold.
- Vestas posted a net loss of €87M in Q3, an improvement from a net loss of €175M a year earlier, partly due to asset sales; revenue fell 24% to €1.44B ($1.9B) as prices fell compared with a year ago.

- Shares in Danish wind turbine maker Vestas (VWDRY.PK -3.9%) tumble as investors reflect their disappointment at the sale of six manufacturing units for just €1, implying a writedown of €50M on the assets.
- Vestas says it made the sale "because we operate in a volatile market with steep ups and downs, and we realised that fixed costs were too high, so we needed to outsource non-core activities and focus on core competencies."

- Vestas Wind Systems (VWDRY.PK) forms an offshore wind joint venture with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHVYF.PK), sealing a deal that has been in the making for more than a year.
- Mitsubishi is expected to provide the venture with an immediate €100M ($135M) cash injection, followed by another €200M if certain targets are met.
- Vestas will transfer the development of its V164-8.0 MW turbine, its V112 turbine offshore order book, existing offshore service contracts and ~300 employees to the venture.
- The deal should ease some of the fears about Vestas' financial health and ability to compete in the market for offshore wind turbines with competitors with deeper pockets such as Siemens (SI).

- Danish wind-turbine maker Vestas Wind Systems' (VWDRY.PK) major supply deal with Duke Energy (DUK), announced earlier today, may be a sign the U.S. wind-power market may be gaining steam.
- Vestas will supply 400 MW of power-generating turbines for two wind farms DUK plans to build near Brownsville, Tex., and sell the electricity to municipal utility Austin Energy under two 25-year contracts.
- After a slow start this year, the U.S. wind power market has been picking up as utilities look to sign new contracts for renewable energy, says Chris Brown, president of Vestas' U.S. business.
- Vestas' ADRs +7.5% today; DUK +0.6%.

- Vestas Wind Systems (VWDRY.PK) names former Ericsson executive Anders Runevad as CEO, replacing long-standing CEO Ditlev Engel, effective Sept. 1.
- The announcement comes as Vestas reports its Q2 net loss widened to €62M ($83.2M) from a loss of €8M a year earlier, following a 26% decline in revenue to €1.19B.
- For the full year, Vestas forecasts an operating profit margin of 1% on revenue of €5B, due in part to an expected recovery in the U.S. market, which was responsible for nearly 25% of 6,039 wind turbines delivered in 2012 but just nine out of 877 delivered in Q2.
- Says it will not sell its tower factory in Pueblo, Colo.; machining and casting units are expected to be sold but their value has been further written down.

Wednesday, Jan 162013, 10:43 AMThe U.S. wind industry is planning new wind farms again after Congress renewed subsidies, but this year's projects seem unlikely to match 2012 megawatt records.

Teen arrested after WoW suicide threat
Blizzard spills the beans
By Nick Farrell in Rome @ Monday, January 05, 2009 7:46 AM
An Ohio teenager has been arrested after threatening suicide when he could not get his World of Warcraft account reinstated.
According to The Middletown Journal , the 17-year-old was banned from the game and rang up a help desk to beg to be reinstated. He told the Blizzard helpdesk that he was suicidal, and the game was the only thing that he had to live for.
While Blizzard did not reinstate the account, it did track down his address and call the emergency services. Police and paramedics swarmed around to the lad's place on the assumption he was going to kill himself.
However the teen told the police that he was frustrated by the fact that his account had been cancelled, and that the threat had been a joke "to try to get what [he] wanted." Local police were not amused, and charged the teen with a first-degree misdemeanour.
This is not the first time that people on the Blizzard helpdesk have called the police to prevent what might have been a suicide. If the boy had been serious the publicity would have been appalling, and since he wasn't, it sends a message to others who think that they can control help desks by threatening to kill themselves that the strategy will not work.

Tabitha from Madison, WI
This pasta salad was as quick as it promised, and blends a great variety of flavors. I substituted the 1 T of chili garlic sauce for 1 T (so 3 total) of the sweet chili sauce and just added some chopped garlic. Leftovers stay flavorful!

Tammy from Mount Pleasant, SC
My husband and I LOVED this recipe. It was even better the second day. My kids didn't like it to much, but their not asian fans. I did make a few changes the second time I made it. I put less peanut butter, about 1/3 C, 2T of sweet chili sauce and 3T of chili garlic sauce. I added watercress nuts and didn't add the green onions (I don't like them) ** I did double the sauce and used a hole box of pasta (16 ozs). It's saucy and really great. It needs more sauce if you let it set over night. ** I took it to my daughters school for a teachers lunchen and they all want to recipe now.

Bluetopia from Color Club. I found those sets of Color Club polishes from Ross, the $8 ones? I had to! This is from the Back to Boho set B. I don't really have many of these darker colors in my collection, and I'm really feeling them for this season. This is a verrry dark blue, in dim lighting it definitely looks black. A good staple color though, in my opinion. It's been a while since I wore this, but I believe it's two coats; with one, it's a bit more sheer and more of a true blue.
Wow, it's been so long since I posted…I've been really busy with a new job, plus I was out of town over the weekend. Time flies!
This is Pretty Edgy from Essie, a gorgeous grassy green. Green really isn't my favorite color, for nail polish or otherwise, but I was lusting after this one for some reason. It just looked kind of accessible, like a green that I could really wear and would look good with my skintone and everything. I'm really pleased that I finally bought it ♥
Essence Prism@tic White, from their new Holografics collection. This is my favorite one from it! It's a nice opaque white in three coats (although you can see my nail line in the photos…I swear it wasn't there in person!), with a lovely lavender-pearl shimmer in the sunlight. I love how it's not "just white", there's something special to it; it feels very wearable to me.
I loved how my last rose mani came out, that I had to do it again! This time, I used China Glaze Something Sweet as the pink, and Essie Mint Candy Apple on my thumb & ring fingers. Same colors for the roses (China Glaze Something Sweet, Sugar High, Entourage; Zoya Apple), and Confetti Wedding White for the white stripes on my ring finger. How do you think it turned out? I really like it!I'm also doing a wear test with this mani, one hand has CND Stickey as a base coat, and the other has Essie Fill the Gap. I just got Stickey and I want to see how it compares! I'll update with the results.
I love how easy nail art roses are! I decided to try it out the other day and I was really pleased, even with my first try.
I used my Candy Shop franken for the rest of my nails (I know it doesn't really look like Candy Shop, but it looks like how I wished it was, haha, soft pink and some glitter), and for the accent nail I used Essie Mint Candy Apple as the base, China Glaze Something Sweet & Sugar High for the roses, and China Glaze Entourage & Zoya Apple for the leaves.
I love polka dots! Especially pink ones!
The dots are: China Glaze Sugar High, Heli-Yum; Essie Knockout Pout, Sephora by OPI Arm Candy; American Apparel Coney Island. Layered over Confetti Wedding White. I set a click-through link to the blog that I got my inspiration from! You should check it out, her nails are so lovely.
Revlon Cotton Candy (layered over China Glaze Something Sweet), and an accent nail of Confetti White
You ever have those days where no matter what you do, your nails are just not doing it for you? This was the other day, I tried to do something cool with nail stickers, and it had so much potential, but turned out sooo badly. So I started over and just did this, somewhat simple, but it turned out kinda pretty.
OPI Guy Meets Gal-veston
I don't usually buy OPI, I think that they're over-priced and I hate their naming, to be honest, but I saw swatches of this one online and fell in love. I don't know what started my jelly phase here, but I'm way into it. A coral-pink-kinda orange jelly? I'm in! Pretty sheer, this is three coats, but I really love the color.
Essie Movers & Shakers
My favorite color is pink, and I've been trying to get more. Which seems odd, but when I first started my collection of nail polish, I definitely had more pink than any other color. Now that I've been expanding my horizons, my ratio of pink to other has been shrinking. I feel out of all the variety I have, I should be getting some more pink variety in there, too! So I've started getting more pinks again. And this one is so beautiful. I'm really into jellies right now, and this is such a gorgeous medium - almost hot - pink jelly. Two coats, too! So it's not toooo sheer. I really recommend it if you're looking to get a pink jelly.
Essie Braziliant
My boyfriend's favorite color is orange, so he's been persuading me to wear more orange nail polish…I'm still on the fence, to be honest! But this one was so pretty that I didn't mind it, haha. It's such a pretty orange with magenta flash in the sunlight. Gorgeous! And very pigmented, I almost didn't need the second coat.

Catholic faithful face church closures
Story Highlights
Parish closures hit Catholic communities across the Northeast and Upper Midwest
Diocese of Cleveland is most recent one to announce sweeping changes
Parishioners worry about the inner-city poor that rely on church outreach
"This isn't what Jesus would do," says a nun-turned-activist
By Jessica Ravitz
(CNN) -- Along the Rust Belt and in cities dotting the Northeast and Upper Midwest, Catholic communities are mourning the loss of parishes. It's a five-year trend of sweeping church closures that most recently hit Cleveland, Ohio.
Wally Martens, a Cleveland native, can look out his kitchen window and see the spiritual home that has served his family for five generations. St. Ignatius of Antioch has been with him and his loved ones through life and death.
"It's the place where most of us were baptized, most of us got married, most of us graduated from grade school and some of us were buried," Martens, 68, said of the west side urban parish that serves 1,200 households. To find out that the building is set to be shuttered is "like losing somebody in your family."
Earlier this month, Bishop Richard G. Lennon of the Diocese of Cleveland, which serves more than 750,000 Catholics, announced that 29 parishes will close and 41 others will merge. The reconfiguration plan, which will effectively cut 52 parishes in the current tally of 224, is scheduled to go into effect by June 30, 2010.
"Closing a parish is very emotional," Bishop Lennon said in a written statement. "I have personally experienced the closing of my own childhood parish in Boston, which members of my family helped establish in 1914. ... I pray that my decisions will serve the needs of this Diocese and its people."
Other cities that have had waves of closures have included places as various as Camden, New Jersey; Allentown, Pennsylvania; and New York City. All of this comes at a time when the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life reports that Catholicism in America has lost more affiliated members than any other faith tradition.
There are reportedly 67.1 million Catholics in the U.S., according to The Official Catholic Directory 2008. Compared to the 2007 number of 67.5, that's about a 400,000 decrease in one year. And the Pew Forum found that approximately a third of its survey repondents who were raised in the Roman Catholic Church no longer attend the church.
What drove the decision to close parishes in Cleveland were population shifts to outlying areas, financial strains that have 42 percent of parishes "operating in the red" and priest shortages, diocese spokesman Robert Tayek explained.
The bishop, he said, is trying to find "an equitable solution."
But the announcement has raised many questions. Among them: What happens to the struggling neighborhoods that have come to rely on outreach and programs offered by some of these inner-city parishes?
"Too many bishops are treating parishes as if they were Starbucks franchises," said Sister Christine Schenk, a Cleveland-area nun who's been fighting for nearly two decades to institute change in the church through her organization FutureChurch.
"It's about more than money. It's about mission to the people," she said. "This isn't what Jesus would do."
The Rev. Bob Begin of Saint Colman couldn't agree more.
"The founder of our church started his mission by saying, 'I came to bring good news to the poor,'" said Begin, who described his parish as serving about 1,300 people in a community where the average income is below $20,000.
Saint Colman, which is slated to merge with another parish elsewhere, gets daily knocks on its doors from nearby residents, many of them immigrants from 25 different countries, who are in need of all kinds of assistance, he said.
"If this parish weren't involved in bringing good news to the poor, I would not spend a lick of energy trying to keep it open," the pastor said. "But because it is bringing good news to the poor, then I have a responsibility to guard and defend this mission against anyone who threatens it."
His parish and others that are affected by the recent announcement have until 5 p.m. Friday to file an appeal with the diocese. If they don't appeal, the bishop's decision is final. But if what happened in Boston, Massachusetts, is any indication, no parish should count on the appeal working.
Bishop Lennon came to Cleveland from the Archdiocese of Boston, where he oversaw the reorganization and closure of parishes and came under harsh criticism from many. One such critic was Peter Borré, chairman of the Council of Parishes, a Boston-based advocacy group for imperiled parishes.
In 2004, within months of the Archdiocese of Boston announcing it would pay a settlement of $85 million to more than 500 alleged sex abuse victims, 83 parishes were put on the chopping block, "which was a head spinner," Borré said.
In the end, because of his organization's relentless efforts, Borré said, only 60 parishes were cut.
His group coordinated around-the-clock vigils or sit-ins that are ongoing, four and a half years later, in five Boston-area parishes. He also has led the charge to navigate the appeal process for nine parishioner groups that have now taken their battle all the way up to the Apostolic Signatura, or, as Borré called it, the "Vatican Supreme Court."
The assumption is that the highest level of the Vatican will deny the appeals this spring, but Borré said it is important to him and the others to fight as far as they can go.
"Other than vigils, this is the only step still open to us," he said. "Secondly, we are the lead dog on this sled. We are the first that has experienced this phenomenon, and we have made it a self-appointed task to let the rest of America know what to expect."
As of Tuesday morning, six Cleveland parishes had reached out to Borré for language to help in their appeals. Others may be drafting letters on their own.
But some affected parishes have no intention of fighting.
Ray Daull, 68, a deacon at Christ the King in Cleveland Heights says a merger, which will combine his parish with three others, is a good thing. It'll be sad to see his church of 52 years go, but given its deficit and shrinking attendance, with a merger, "We will have more resources ... and the money can go into doing our work," he said.
But for parishes such as St. Ignatius of Antioch, the one Wally Martens can see from his window, accepting the end is not yet possible.
"There was a general gasp, and then sadness turned to madness," the Rev. James McGonegdal, Marten's pastor of 20 years, said of the announcement he made at Mass on March 15. "Some of the parishes knew they'd be closing, whereas for St. Ignatius and a couple other parishes, it was almost like a sudden death. You grieve in a different way."
A standing-room only crowd poured into the parish last Sunday to show growing support. Martens said in a week's time, $900,000 had been pledged to finance the church and send a message to the diocese.
For Martens' 92-year-old mother, Pauline, pondering life without her parish is unthinkable. For most of her life, it's the only one she's known.
"I just thought the church would go on forever," she said. "I expected to be buried from there. But I guess the way things are going, I just don't know what'll happen to me."

Postcard Returns
My sincere apologies for neglecting the BPS blog for so long — work and life have a way of sidelining projects that are done for sheer pleasure alone, and the BPS book is sadly still waiting for me. I have a basket chest of your beautiful postcards still waiting patiently to be scanned, but happily I now have a fantastic new backup drive to store them on and can finally start returning your postcards. If you've moved or have a new email address since we've last been in touch, please drop me a line at benevolentpostcard(at)gmail(dot)com with your new address so I can be sure to get them to you. Thanks as always for your stellar patience — you are all amazing.

My Solo Show
After several very busy weeks, my solo show at Exposure Gallery (upstairs at Thyme & Again in Ottawa, Ontario Canada) officially opened at the vernissage last Thursday, April 12. Called If You're Afraid of Butter, Use Cream (a quote from the immortal Julia Child) the show has a food theme. Take a virtual tour of the show in today's Atelier post on my automatism blog here.

The News So Far
So my brilliant plan to work on the BPS book over the next couple of months has been put on hold — I've been offered a solo show at a local gallery, but turns out the only available time slot is April. This means I'll be frantically getting an entire show ready — with no time for anything else, sadly. I hope to get back to the book in the spring — I will keep you posted on how things progress.
Hope all is well with you all!!

The Language of Stamps
You have to see this lovely and wonderfully illustrated post on the blog Poemas del río Wang on the now-vanished delicate art of stamp placement. Depending on how you placed a stamp on an envelope, it told an informed recipient you sent a kiss, you were thinking of them — or (sadly) that you were not free. Fascinating — and something it would be charming to revive for Valentine's Day, I think.

Happy New Year!
It's a brand new year filled with promise. May your 2012 be filled with peace and happiness (and sweetness, too). And you'll be happy to know that the BPS book is scheduled to kick into high gear this year, too — I'll keep you posted.

Of Books and Deadlines
That sound you hear is the sound of deadlines whooshing by — specifically, the deadline I'd originally set myself for getting the BPS book completed. In an ideal world I would have taken 6 months off, retired to a little cabin by the sea, and spent my days diligently putting together the perfect book. Living in the real world, I've had to try and fit in working on it around my regular paying work (with its own tight deadlines) plus all the other stuff that life brings every day. Which means that though I'd hoped to have it ready for September, the reality is that it's just not going to happen. But it will happen — I promise. Thanks so much for your patience — I really do appreciate it.

The Lost Art of Postcard Writing
Tina of the always lovely English Muse blog has a great post about a Charles Simic essay in the New York Review of Books, in which he mourns the scarcity of holiday postcards. Highly recommended for BPS members, needless to say. Fun fact about the English Muse — I designed the banner for it!

Picture of our TLC "Fabulous Cakes" Dresser
This is the picture of our cake featured on TLC "Fabulous Cakes" season Two, in the "Above and Beyond" episode. This beautiful cake was so much fun to make! It served approximately 450 guests and weighed approximately 200 lbs. It was made for a Quinceanera. The shoe was a replica of the one worn by the birthday girl, the doll (Olivia the Pig) was a replica of the one she passed on to a little girl during the party. These were some of the featured elements of the traditions of this coming of age celebration . There was also a chocolate ring box that had the actual ring her parents gave her; in tradition she will wear this until it's replaced by her engagement ring. We also replicated her tiara, and her favorite purse brand. Everything was built around a Shabby chic dresser, with crystal knobs made of sugar and carved "wood"(fondant pieces). It was a wonderful experience to make this cake in front of the cameras, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Broker's Call
Definition of 'Broker's Call'
The interest rate charged by banks on loans made to broker-dealers, who use these loan proceeds to make margin loans to their clients. These broker's call loans are payable by the broker-dealer on call (i.e., immediately) upon request from the lending institution. The broker's call rate forms the basis on which margin loans are priced.
Investopedia explains 'Broker's Call'
The broker's call rate may fluctuate on a daily basis, since it depends on a number of factors such as market interest rates, funds' supply and demand and economic conditions. It is published daily in publications such as The Wall Street Journal and Investor's Business Daily.
