Economic shaping: Enough with the industrial policy
Take Annie Kuster, member of Congress from New Hampshire's 2nd District. Kuster last month introduced what she calls the "Workforce Development Investment Act." It would "provide tax credits to employers who collaborate with educational institutions to equip students with the skills they need to compete for well-paying jobs," as her office describes it.
The bill would give businesses annual tax credits of up to $10,000 for things like "(h)elping develop curriculum" and "(p)roviding internships, apprenticeships, or other hands-on educational opportunities for students."
Provide an internship, get a tax credit. Help develop a curriculum that trains people to work at your company (so you don't have to spend money training them yourself), get a tax credit.
Never mind that the New Hampshire Community College System already forges these kinds of partnerships (some of them funded, alas, by a federal grant).
Not to be outdone, Reps. John Cebrowski, R-Bedford, and David Borden, D-New Castle, advocate developing a state industrial policy to both attract and develop high-tech manufacturing businesses.
These are only the latest in the endless series of proposals to use the heavy hand of the state to shape the economy in the way politicians think it ought to be shaped. The economy would do much better if politicians would stop grabbing and pulling and tugging at it and would just leave the people free to reinvent it in ways no politician will ever imagine.

Gameplay on the network has grown eightfold year-on-year.
WildTangent has claimed that it has become the world's largest cross-platform games network as measured by comScore.
It now reaches 168 million total monthly unique users globally and is the third largest mobile games network in the US.
It has reported an eightfold growth in year-on-year mobile gameplay, and has doubled the number of games it has on its service to over 400 titles.
Mobile ad impressions on its platform has increased sevenfold year-on-year and it has seen more than one million downloads for its Polar Bowler 1st Frame game on iOS and Android.
Mike Peronto, CEO of WildTagent, said: "I'm pleased with our mobile momentum, but we recognise that much work remains to reach our goal to be the top mobile games company in a rapidly evolving industry.
"Unlike other app stores, which are racing toward a million apps, we target quality games over sheer quantity. With this approach, great games are easy to find and enjoy, and we continue to draw rave reviews from those that matter most to us – our customers."
The company also recently secured a games distribution with EE.

Common sense underwriting, a regulatory system that abides by contract law, and borrowers who consider homeownership a privilege, not an entitlement, make Canada perfect for private -label residential mortgage-backed securities.
Here Come the Redlining Investigations
Allegations lenders failed to lend in certain geographic areas that are racially or ethnically diverse are mounting.
Common Sense, Not Regulations, Should Rule Modification Policy
Not every distressed borrower can, will or should get a modification. But in cases where they make sense, mod decisions should be swift and significant.
Drafting the Right Fantasy Sales Team
Most mortgage industry managers probably feel that the way they manage their businesses is pretty straight forward.
Understanding the Technical Implications of the New Disclosure Rule: Part 1
In less than one year, the new RESPA/TILA integrated disclosure final rule will take effect, impacting all aspects of lenders' origination processes and technology.
PL RMBS Prospects Are Looking Up - Up North, That Is: Part 1
The time has come for residential private-label mortgage-backed securities in Canada, but the market will look nothing like the United States'.
Looking for New Leads? Try Naturalized Citizens
Foreign-born nationals with U.S. citizenship have a lot of positive attributes that make them attractive mortgage applicants. What's even better is that millions are still renters.
The Power of Bundling Technology and Operations for Mortgage Servicers
For the average consumer, bundling purchases is a proven approach to improving value while reducing cost.
Why Predictable Compliance Infrastructure Is Key
Such a system will not erase past violations, but it can help convince a regulator that a lender is invested in doing business the "right way."
B of A's Countrywide Woes Offer a Lesson in M&A Branding
Bank of America has taken a significant reputational hit as a result of its 2008 acquisition of Countrywide Financial. Could it have mitigated some of the damage with a different branding strategy?
What Bank of America Actually Did Wrong
An examination of the details in the B of A settlement shows many examples of risky behavior, including mortgage applications that were underwritten with "shadow" guidelines that allowed exceptions to approve almost any loan.
To Reach Millennials, Think Outside the Box
It would be a lot easier if we could just order mortgages on Amazon, where perhaps prime borrowers who are also prime members could get a prime mortgage with free shipping.
How Banks Can Back the Military on the Home Front
Many active-duty service members are unaware that they are eligible to postpone mortgage payments under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. A group of major financial services companies have pledged to improve communication about this option, according to the Financial Services Roundtable's Tim Pawlenty and John Dalton.
The Best 'Recipe' for Preparing for a CFPB Exam: Part 2
It is clear that the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau has made the mortgage industry a top priority and its supervised entities have had to fall in line with its expansive rules and regulations quickly.

A mortgage industry laden with government enticements has no choice but to honor a duty to serve its benefactor's affordable housing goals, claim the authors of a new book.
Selling Mortgages to Millennials
Millennials may be the first group of homebuyer-aged Americans that don't buy into the American dream -- at least not the homeownership part of it.
Why We Should Scrap Mortgage Interest Deductions
The mortgage interest tax deduction is supposed to encourage homeownership among low- and middle-income Americans. But it primarily benefits higher-income taxpayers, according to a new study from the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.

Watch out - there's an ID thief about
When someone says 'get a life', they don't generally mean 'take mine'. But that's exactly what happened to more than 100,000 people in the UK last year.
ID theft - where someone steals the identity of another by conventional and electronic means - has become a huge problem.
According to fraud prevention service CIFAS, the number of cases of identity fraud in the UK has increased dramatically since 1999, when 20,000 cases were reported.

Which books do you use when you have a pile of stuff from the farmer's market and don't know what to do with it?
- daveena Sep 22, 2007 10:51 AM
I do this all the time - hey! cool! cardoons! Wow! Purslane! Black salsify! I buy a bunch of stuff, and then try to figure out what I'm going to do with them.
I find I regularly turn to 4 cookbooks in this situation (plus my recipe files, Every once in a while, NYT and LA Times have great features focusing on one obscure vegetable, so I save the recipes, and wait for the veggies to show up)
"Chez Panisse Vegetables"
Faith Willinger, "Red, White, and Greens"
Alfred Portale, "12 Seasons"
Suzanne Goin, "Sunday Suppers at Lucques"
Any other recommendations? I see that "Vegetable Harvest" is this month's cookbook - would people consider it a worthwhile addition?
I've only started this summer to really base a lot of my cooking on going to the farmer's market and it's been a fun adventure, though I often have to stop at the store as well to supplement. I've enjoyed most of the things I've cooked so far from VH - meant to make the Avocado "ravioli" with crabmeat last night - perfect avocado, and when I opened the crabmeat it was bad - such a bummer! But I'd say that and Lucques are what I've been using, along with "Think Like a Chef" by Colicchio. I posted a bunch of links on one of the VH threads - I think you can get to it from the post at the top of the board - so you might find some inspiration there without buying the book. Thinking about making the beet tartare tonight - I'm making her sardine en papillotte recipe for dinner. It's a rainy day here so I may also make her roasted tomato sauce to freeze - the tomatoes at the market today are clearing on the wane in terms of flavor. I also bought some pears to make a pear/prune/saffron compote of sorts to serve with cheese.
re: MMRuth
In addition to my cookbooks, I go to epicurious.com and type in the ingredient at hand. Have often gotten interesting recipes and ideas that way (most recently for grilled artichokes), and find the attached reviews to be really helpful.
re: janeh
I also go to epicurious and type in a few of the veggies and search through the recipes that pop and see which one inspires me. I love the reviews too. often times you can find out what's off in a recipe before you make it just by reading the reviews... then you can make the needed changes.
I actually will do Google searches to find out how best to use farmer's market bounty. Often you can find obscure blogs from people of all types of nationality, ethnicity, whatever, who use these ingredients regularly. These can point you in directions that you've never considered and provide a unique alternative to the rustic-y/Mediterranean-inspired cooking that so dominates the epicurean scene.
Also, when you're buying the stuff, always remember to ask the vendors how to best prepare it; they often have some really great ideas.
Zuni Cafe Cookbook
Anything by Richard Olney
Elements of Taste by Gray Kunz
Any of the more rustic cookbooks by Ducasse or Bocuse.
There's some great resources on line as well, such as Chef2Chef. Name your ingredients and there'll be at least a dozen chefs and cooks giving you ideas and recipies.
The Joy of Cooking is one of my favorites- outdated by many people's standards, but they have references to so many different ingredients and types of food that it's a great springboard for my imagination. That's what I usually use cookbooks for, anyway- more inspiration than following recipes word for word (unless I'm baking something).
re: EWSflash
I agree, and moreover, I don't think the new edition is outdated.Old fashioned,perhaps,but that isn't the same IMO. I just looked up cardoons, purslane and black salsify in my new edition of Joy of Cooking and found both explanations AND recipes for all three. In many instances the explanations can be as helpful as the recipe, as they give you a sense of the type of ways you might cook or use the ingredient if you feel like improvising.
I use Foodnetwork website because I can type in one ingredient at a time and keep narrowing until I find something that strikes my fancy. I've come accross some very surprising recipes when I had some random ingredient and no idea what to do.
re: piccola
vegetarian cooking for everyone is my vegetable bible.
re: ccbweb
ccbweb, I had exactly the same thought! I love this book--it has good recipes and is a fun read.
I also like "Uncommon Fruits and Vegetables: a Guide" by Elizabeth Schneider. It's a bit older so some of the "unusual" things are not so much anymore, but still very valuable.
I also love Red White and Greens and Sunday Suppers at Lucques.
Patricia Wells' new book, "Vegetable Harvest,"" is a goodie written in the vein of veggie driven menus. Im enjoying it as well.
re: ChefJune
We had a Vegetable Harvest blow up (exaggeration, though there was pouting involved on both sides) last night - my husband asked me not to cook from it any more! He says he hates the book (i.e., what I've cooked from it) other than the salmon with the olive/caper sauce, and the saffron/pear/prune compote I made yesterday and served with some blue cheese and hazelnuts, which at least meant that we ended a sad meal on a high note.
I made the beet salad (2 colors), which was ok, but I thought too lemony, and really just boring. The kicker was the broccoli puree with mint - had a very unpleasant texture, despite being pureed for a long time, and other than tasting like mint, was also boring. I added some olive oil, and then at the table he ate each bit of it with at least a teaspoon of butter. He said he'd rather just have some steamed broccoli spears with olive oil, lemon juice and salt. Made the sardines en papillotte, which was edible, but again boring, and preparing the sardines as instructed was very time consuming. His comments, some of which were quite funny but I've forgotten them, included that her food tasted tasted like prison food (unlikely, but still) and this morning he said that he burned the book while feeding the dog (not true). Wish I could remember the other gems.
I think the issues is that the vegetable recipes are designed to highlight the vegetables, in a very "pure" fashion but one that tries to be innovative. The dishes are pretty, but the end, it's the taste (and my marital harmony) that matters.
So, I'm going back to Sunday Suppers at Lucques!
re: MMRuth
Oh dear! I was going to make that broccoli puree with mint today--we're getting a lot of broccoli in the CSA box right now--nevermind, eh? Thanks for your report, disappointing though it is.
daveena, you might find this thread about cooking with vegetables from the CSA bounty helpful, too: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/406114
re: The Dairy Queen
I would skip it or you could do me a favor and see if it results in the same marital disharmony as it did in my house!
re: The Dairy Queen
MMRuth - thanks for your candid and hilarious review of Vegetable Harvest. I'm thinking that one goes to the bottom of the list.
TDQ - thanks so much for the link - there's surprisingly less overlap between these two lists than I would have expected. I should print out both lists and take them to the nearest library...
Thanks to everyone else too... there are a couple of cookbooks mentioned that I have but always overlook as reference books because they're so shiny and pretty (Elements of Taste, Think Like a Chef), a bunch of books that I've been thinking about, but wasn't sure if they'd overlap too much with the stuff I have (the Greene, Madison, and Peterson books), and a lot of books I haven't heard of - including the SF Ferry Building Farmer's Market one! (How did that one go under my radar?)

I was coming here to recommend the SF Ferry Building Farmer's Market one (among a few others) -- it's a fun book, and it has lots of good ideas in it. I've turned to it frequently this summer, and have made a few things that have made it into the permanent rotation.
re: JasmineG
I too love the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market cookbook.
Another one I found this year while at the bookstore with my list is one called "Serving up the Harvest" by Andrea Chesman. I have warn you, I'm an adventurous eater, but a lazy cook. I also live in an exceedingly harsh climate where the seasons are intense and brief. I like two things about Chesman's book: one, the recipes are simple--perhaps too basic for some of you more advanced cooks, but it's perfect for me. Two the book is organized by season, 1) spring/summer, 2) early/mid-summer, 3) mid/late summer, 4) fall/winter. Within each season, she highlights the "star" vegetables of the season. So, you'll get a section on tomatoes, for instance, that pairs them with other vegetables likely to be in season at that same time. The problem I've had with a lot of other cookbooks is that they'll have you pair vegetables that aren't necessarily in season--or, maybe they are in season together in other milder climates, but not here. I have a fridge full of vegetables--those are the ones I want to use now and while I don't mind going to the grocery store to pick up a thing or two, I don't want to buy more produce.
I bought another book, "Greens Glorious Greens" by Albi & Walthers that was "out of season" by the time I bought it; but I am looking forward to using next year in the first 5-6 weeks of my CSA when I'm getting 6-8 bundles of greens in my box per week.
re: MMRuth
I'm behind on posting from this VH, but I've been disappointed in my results. As you've noted numerous times throughout your postings, the flavors are all mild. I agree with this assessment and would bring it a bit further. While the recipes may have been designed to highlight the vegetables, the prep and "sauces" detract the flavor of the vegetable itself. Nothing really enhances the veggie flavor itself.
re: beetlebug
The other thing is - someone else mentioned that this looks like a "diet" book. Though it doesn't say that anywhere in the book, I agree. For example, even though adding olive oil to the broccoli puree certainly didn't make it a magically wonderful dish, it certainly improved both the taste and texture - and I have no idea why she wouldn't have called for some olive oil into it.
re: MMRuth
BTW - my husband just came home and said that that saffron/pear/prune compote does redeem the book so I don't have to throw it out!
re: MMRuth
I think Wells is in a diet mode right now. I saw her on Barefoot C and she seemed quite pleased about losing some 40 pounds. Barefoot seemed less than pleased about losing a good eating buddy.
re: ccferg
Lol! My husband thinks she is compromising taste in order to present a dish that might be healthy. I think I read that a couple of years ago she started running etc. after having gained weight over the years. I suggested that my husband, now that he has also conceded that the duck dish I cooked was good, go through the book and flag recipes he might like, so that the book doesn't go to waste. His counter offer was that he go through the book and tear out the recipes he thinks are unappealing.
re: MMRuth
I agree with your husband's assessment. Very perceptive of him, especially with him being the eater v. the cook. But, she didn't have to sacrifice flavor for tastiness. There are low fat/non fat ways to do so. The addition of more fresh herbs comes to my mind, as well as a bit more olive oil to the dish.
Tearing out the bad recipes may be a sad thing. I do love the pictures of the book. And, I also really like the texture of the pages in the book. Odd, I know, but it made flipping through the book quite pleasant, even if the recipes didn't quite appeal to me.
re: beetlebug
He was truly joking about tearing the bad recipes out - I promise - and even if he weren't, I wouldn't have let him! I did wish that she had some photos of the completed recipes.
We were just watching Chef's Story on PBS with Suzanne Goin, and when she started to make two salads, each with cheese, one with bacon and bacon fat etc., he joked "*That's* my girl!" (as opposed to Patricia Wells)>
re: MMRuth
That may be but she is so stingy on everything. Not just olive oil. To make it taste better, she could add more seasonal fresh herbs into her recipe. It's like she woke up and decided to put all these random vegetable together. And, it doesn't even seem to be veggies that come out at the same time.
It's a shame because it's a beautiful book and initially, it really appealed to me.
re: MMRuth
Very interesting observation by your husband. I'm a shameless cookbook collector and love Patricia Wells. But I got the book at the library first before purchasing and was underwhelmed.
re: SilverlakeGirl
I love her too - cooked out of her food lover's guide to Paris, and copied a lot of recipes out of another book of hers from a friend's copy. And really, some of the things are great - just had a pre-dinner nibble of bleu cheese and that compote - really incredible.
re: ccferg
G on G is the book I refer to as well. You can get it very cheaply on Amazon since it is considerably ancient now (1984). What I find so useful is his in depth information on the qualities of the vegetable and not just the recipes.
re: lucyis
Buy any Bert Greene cookbook you can find! He had such a wealth of knowledge and such a great way of writing about it! His Grains Cookbook is what got me cooking with a lot of alternative grains, and I love his Greens book as well. Kitchen Bouquet has a lot of great recipes too.
I've been using, Peter Berley's Flexitarian Table, his other two vegetarian cookbooks, Sunday Suppers, Hot Sour Salty Sweet, Deborah Madison's Local Flavors and the big yellow Gourmet book.
The Santa Monica Farmers' Market Cookbook: Seasonal Foods, Simple Recipes and Stories from the Market and Farm by Amelia Saltsman
The San Francisco Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market Cookbook: A Comprehensive Guide to Impeccable Produce Plus Seasonal Recipes by Peggy Knickerbocker and Christopher Hersheimer
both are great reference books for seasonality, both have great photos and tidbits, and both have great recipes.
For recipes for unusual vegetables, I usually go to http://www.melissas.com or http://www.friedas.com. Both of these online produce purveyors have lots and lots of interesting recipes and lots of good info on their websites.
I also like Crescent Dragonwagon's book, The Passionate Vegetarian, and her other books (the Dairy Hollow House books) for good vegetable recipes. http://www.passionatevegetarian.com
It's so funny that you ask this, I've definitely done this a lot this summer! So far, it's been Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian, and The SF Farmer's Market Cookbook. Veg Cooking for Everyone isn't my favorite book, it isn't laid out in the best way, and most of the recipes are under flavored for me (I always have to mentally add salt to just about every recipe, for instance), I like World Vegetarian, but it's better with eastern flavors, and while I love the Farmer's Market cookbook, it's a little small. I might have to invest in Sunday Suppers (which I've wanted for a while)!
re: JasmineG
Thanks for the critical review of Veg Cooking for Everyone... negative reviews are definitely as helpful (maybe even more!) than positive ones, when I'm trying to only buy high-yield books.
I think you'll really like Sunday Suppers. I was drawn to it initially because Goin seems to have a lot of the same fetishes I do (fava beans, cavolo nero, farro). She introduced the simple, yet brilliant flavor base of onion, rosemary, and chile de arbol to my cooking vocabulary... the last chef cookbook that made such a big difference in my home cooking was Mario Batali, for garlic/mint/chili peppers.
Dang! How did I forget the Batali books? Both Babbo and Simple Home Cooking have some great veg dishes.
re: daveena
And it's not that I *dislike* Veg Cooking for Everyone, it's just that I find all of the recipes slightly...off. I've had similar conversations with friends of mine who have cooked for it (and one is a vegetarian, so I know it's not just that I'm used to the flavor from meat). There are definitely some treasures in there, and I'm glad that I have the book, but I just wish that I hadn't paid full price for it. And if you do get it, when you make things from it, double the salt for just about everything, and be liberal with other herbs and olive oil.
I think I'm definitely going to have to take the plunge and get Sunday Suppers!
re: JasmineG
Yeah, I always alter recipes from Veg Cooking... - but then again, I alter recipes from all cookbooks. So maybe I'm not the best person to review them. :-)
re: JasmineG
Interesting --- I received this for Christmas last year, and I've really enjoyed her recipes so far... which are the treasures you've found?
re: foxy fairy
The Green Herb Tart is really really good (though, again, add a little more salt), although I didn't love her crust for it. Her recipe for foccacia (the one to bake on a tray) was really perfect. And I absolutely love the mushroom pate, and I've made the pepperonata a lot this summer (really really good with the foccacia, and a great use of the multitude peppers that I can't stop myself from buying at the farmer's market every week).
re: JasmineG
Thanks -- I will try that mushroom pate and the focaccia pronto.
Any to avoid??
I made, and really enjoyed so so much, her asparagus baked with parmesan and brown butter. The dish really transformed asparagus, which I always really enjoy, into something exquisite. It was a flash to prepare (and clean up) too!
However, I tried her black bean cakes and they were a big sticky mess. :( In a very close call regarding my esteem as a cook, I nearly decided to give these a whirl with friends who stopped over unexpectedly, as I had just finished cooking a big pot of beans. Good thing I didn't risk it -- the next day SO and I tried the bean cake recipe, threw the whole thing out, and went out for dinner. We were so so relieved that we didn't try those on the guests. It looked and tasted disgusting -- and I've rarely had that happen with a recipe. I thought I did something wrong, but I'll console myself with the idea that others have had difficulty with some of her recipes too.
*My mom's binder of family recipes, which she has divided seasonally, and then within that by meal and course. :)
*any of Mollie Katzen's books -- I really can't rave enough about the original Moosewood, too, which is also great for cooks new to combining flavors. I learned so much from that book -- how to create a soup or sandwich or casserole featuring any kind of vegetable, how to make veggies shine!
*Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone -- I actually enjoy the layout, and I like that she offers a handful of accessible preparations for every vegetable.
*the Home Cooking board, hooray! I try to peruse before I go to the market -- and thus I'm filled with excellent seasonally appropriate ideas (like last week's braised red cabbage with apples and vinegar -- mmm!)
*epicurious and food network - I search on foodnetwork with the ingredient and the name of the chefs I tend to like (Flay, Ina, Nigella, and the irritating RR and Giada b/c I do enjoy their dishes). I do this one chef at a time, and narrow down my search based on the reviews posted for the recipes. I like that review/fork rating system on epicurious, too.

Q: When comparing two cards, should I get the one that has a smaller APR with a high annual fee, or the one with a bigger APR with a small annual fee?
American Express is a CardRatings.com advertiser.
The best credit card for your situation always depends on your overall relationship with cash. Your decision really comes down to a few key factors:
- How much of a balance you intend to carry each month.
- How much you intend to charge on your card every year.
- The interest you could earn by using credit instead of cash for specific purchases.
- The rebates or perks you'll earn by running most of your expenses through a rewards credit card.
A higher annual fee with a lower annual percentage rate usually signifies a credit card with extra perks and benefits. For instance, American Express charge cards and many Visa Signature credit cards use higher than average membership fees to cover the cost of purchase protection, travel insurance, and personal concierge services. If you often cover reimbursable business expenses with your personal card, a high annual fee can pay for itself with bonus rewards, travel amenities and extra cash back.
Many no-frills accounts with lower annual fees hike their APRs to reflect the current financial climate. If your lender offers a grace period, you can use this kind of account like a charge card that you pay off in full at the end of every statement cycle. If you're just trying to build a strong credit history with little intention of carrying a balance, go for the lower fees. (After all, 21 percent of nothing is still nothing.)
When you know you'll need to carry a balance, compare the net annual cost of each account by adding up a card's annual fee and potential finance charges. Fortunately, you don't have to do all this math on your own. Our credit card payment calculator can help you estimate the real annual cost of your prospective accounts before you make a long term commitment.
No Comments
- I'm looking for a low interest rate credit card with cash advances and no fees. My credit is excellent.
- I have an excellent record for payments on all my cards, but I'm paying as high as 29 percent interest. How can I lower the rate?
- What are our best options for credit? Husband, who already has a current card, applying for another? Wife without a card applying for one? Or a joint card?

With the unprecedented attention paid to the subject of process analytical technology (PAT) in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology
industries over the last year or two, many scientists and engineers now find themselves asking whether it is more hype or
a tangible development. While PAT has received significant attention of late, its application is nothing new. Although spectroscopy
is the most common analytical tool utilized in the application of PAT, other techniques hold strong potential as well.
Of all the analytical technologies utilized in PAT applications, spectroscopy is the largest in terms of dollars, with near
infrared (NIR) by far the most common technique. Electrochemistry, while smaller in dollar terms, is more commonly applied
due to the lower cost and relative simplicity of this technique. Other analytical techniques that are now seeing significant
application include particle size analysis, HPLC, mass spectrometry, and the small but fast growing technique of thermal effusivity.
The market for software for instrument control, process modeling, and data collection and analysis lags significantly behind
the instrument technologies in terms of development, and is primarily the realm of software consultants who develop highly
customized solutions for individual manufacturers. The combined worldwide PAT instrument and software market was worth nearly
$150 million in 2005, but should see annual growth in the mid-teens through 2010.

Leonidas Chocolates at Costco!
- c
- Chocolatemama Nov 17, 2010 10:09 AM
I bought a 2 LB box of assorted Leonidas chocolates at Costco today for $16.99!! This sized box normally costs over $60! Unbelievable price. Besides Bernard Callebaut, these are my favourite chocolates (yes, even better than Godiva in my opinion)! Check it out!
Wow, that is a great deal. I remember buying a small box at the Beijing airport and they were very expensive.
However, my favourite would have to be Teuscher (?). and maison du chocolat (NYC).
I found them at the Richmond Hill location on John Birchill (not sure about spelling!). They were with all the Xmas boxed chocolates near the meat dept. We cracked it open yesterday and although they are still fabulous, my husband and I think they are sweeter than usual. Not sure if it`s just our imaginations! Nevertheless, it is a great deal!
Are you sure your location didn't make a mistake? The 2 lb box is on sale online at Costco.ca for $79.99!!
re: Full tummy
No, I am sure! It is the Costco I go to on a weekly basis in Richmond Hill near Elgin Mills and Leslie! I bought a box. The ones on the Costco site seem to be larger boxes containing smaller wrapped boxes whereas mine is one LARGE 2 lb box. Worth checking out; it`s for real!!!
re: Chocolatemama
Great news!!! Will buy some tomorrow!
re: Full tummy
My friend just confirmed the same deal at the Queensway Costco.
re: Full tummy
This deal is real! They're at the Yorkdale Costco as well.
Thanks for posting the deal I just got 2 boxes.... OMG I cannot believe the price for such a large box of Leonidas Pralines!
So, I went to my nearest Costco, at Warden & Ellesmere, searched the whole chocolate department by the meats, found some chocolates from Belgium, but not Leonidas. Maybe I missed them? Has anyone else looked and/or found them at this location?
I bought a 2 lb box in Ajax today. They had lots, in the Xmas chocolate section just south of he meats; actually very close to imported cheeses.
I sampled them already, and they are very good, not too sweet, and not pralines. They are mostly chocolate, and the the few filled ones are not creamy or dumbed down. This box is for chocolate lovers, and a true bargain. I may buy more for Xmas gifts, as they may not last long if the internet word gets out.
re: jayt90
Aye aye aye, poor me. Is it possible that mine is the only location sans Leonidas?
re: Full tummy
Don`t know, but for that price it`s probably worth a trip!
re: Chocolatemama
Still plenty left in Ajax, almost a full pallet actually. Went this morning and nobody but me was buying them. If your store is out, get on 401 east and head to Durham!
re: JamieK
Just checked the best before date of my box for you: April 17, 2011.
Was just at the Costco at Wilson and Dufferin and they are out of the chocolates. I checked at service desk and was told that the Etobicoke location has about 400 boxes in stock, and the two Mississauga locations have some as well. They seem to be out at most of the other locations. She's expecting another shipment next week.
re: TorontoJo
Expecting another shipment at Wilson/Dufferin?
I was there this morning as well and hunted all over for them.
re: TorontoJo
Lots tonight at the Queensway Costco....got 2 myself!
re: burningrome
Thank you! I'm heading there in the morning.
re: cheesymama
Because of teh flap on CH I went out this morning to teh Etobicoke location and scored six boxes. There was a big skid of the stuff, about chest high.
I hope that the excitement about Leonidis has more merit than the recommendations here (other than mine) for Thai restaurants. I don't know anything about this sort of thing.
Costco had an impressive selection of big boxes of chocolate confections.
re: cheesymama
My first time at Costco Etobicoke.
Nice store.
Picked up 50 boxes (business Chriistmas Gifts) and didn't make a dent.
Lots of Boxes.
Also picked up a Dunn's Smoked Meat Brisket unavailable at both Costco locations I frequent.
So, thanks for the location.
Cool! Too bad I have no Cost-Co nearby, but I've emailed my friends and relatives elsewhere to alert them to the opportunity.
When I was a young man from North Dakota spending a college year abroad, I tried Leonidas chocolates in Europe and they really blew my mind. I don't even get all that into sweets, but these were phenomenal. One thing I've always wondered: I heard that the Leonidas storefront in Germany had chocolates delivered every week and that they then THREW OUT the last week's chocolates to ensure freshness.
Maybe that wasn't correct, but I've always wondered how that relates to chocolates that have a "use by" date some 6-12 months down the road. I've eaten chocolate that was under a sofa cushion since the previous Presidential administration!
re: Bada Bing
My husband and I wondered about this freshness thing as well. We wondered if they were made differently, perhaps with added preservatives, however according to the ingredient list, there doesn`t appear to be any. The chocolates included in the box don`t include the creamier fillings, however and I think perhaps they chose the assortment based on the fillings that would last longer? A couple of my favourites are not in the box, but given the price it is still an amazing deal!
re: Chocolatemama
Yeah, no cream fillings. That makes sense.
Now, I'm headed back to my sofa to find more locally available chocolate...
Lets not overhype here! I bought a box and looking the the 1st 2 layers right now and it consists of plain milk and dark chocolate wafers (lots of them) and the rest have either chocolate or caramel fillings. No other flavours or variety. It's pretty basic stuff. I'd rather have less quantity and more variety but that's just me. It's still good chocolate but nothing I'd write home about.
re: syoung
Syoung, you`re right. More variety would be nice since I do miss the ganache fillings as those are my favourites, but for the same price, you would normally get only about a dozen chocolates!!!
re: Chocolatemama
Yes, chocolate truffles are are a different animal and way more expensive and there are definitely none of those in the Costco Leonidas! As I said, $17 is a good deal as long as you know you're buying quantity.
re: syoung
Is this the same Leonidas that sell in the Loblaws at Bathurst and St. Clair? I was excited about trying them but found them very waxy and not that flavourful... then again, I am sort of spoiled, my father in law brings me back fresh made chocolates from Switzerland every year! :)
re: LovelyAsia
Yes, the same Leonidas as the one at Loblaws.
re: syoung
How much are they at Loblaws?
re: kerosundae
Does anyone know which locations in Markham, Richmond Hill, Scarborough?
Tried mkm and 14th yesterday but did not find any. thx.
re: caitlink
Drive east to Ajax, plenty of Leonidas left here. Take 401 east to Salem Road, Costco is at northwest corner of Kingston and Salem.
I avoid the Scarborough (Warden/Ellesmere) Costco like the plague.
re: caitlink
The Richmond Hill location on John Birchall Rd still had some today. It is located near the intersection of Leslie and Elgin Mills.
re: kerosundae
Agreed on the quality of chocolates, not that great. I can't imagine I'd want to pay more for them than the 16.99. They are far too sweet for my taste in chocolates.
re: Toronto Fastfoodie
I asksed a friend to check and on Saturday, there were not available. But it sounds like we aren't missing anything unless you like sweet chocolate.
re: foodyDudey
Opposed to??? I am not a big dark chocolate fan nor am I a fan of waxy, artificial chocolate. I do like the Lindor balls. Will I like these?
re: foodyDudey
It is funny that you say this because the reason I like Leonidas is because they are not as sweet as most brands. I do find that these Costco ones appear to be a little sweeter than usual, but it might just be the assortment since I usually choose only the dark, and the milk and white are certainly sweeter. Perhaps they are sweeter compared to other Belgian chocolates, but they are certainly nowhere near as sweet as your mainstream brands purchased at drugstores and the like.
On Saturday they did not have them in Woodbridge and had never heard of them. Today they were out of them on Wilson near Dufferin. My husband was told they were available at Costco in Richmond Hill!
They are back at the Wilson & Dufferin location as on Tuesday night. I bought a box amidst mixed reviews and think they are delicious. Not too sweet (but I like sweet) and tastes more fresh and homemade than comparable chocolates at similar price points.
For those looking for these, saw a bunch of boxes at the Mississauga south store (just off dundas around 403) today.
re: epsilontau
Speaking of Leonidis....I just noticed they've opened a store on the Danforth, near Pape. Very surprised to see this. Not sure if it's a pop up or what, but it looked pretty from the outside.
re: millygirl
I was at the Wilson/Dufferin location this morning. Two full skids there.
re: torontobelly
I bought some on the basis of the recs here, and I'm glad I did--delicious! It wasn't until I had eaten several, that I noticed that many had hazelnut flavours. After reading the box carefully, I saw that they were called "Pralines Leonidas". That should explain the abundance of hazelnut fillings. A bit disappointing, but still delicious.
re: Yongeman
Disappointing? Even more of a reason to love them. At least then you know you'll love everything in the box...if you like hazelnut & praline, that is.
re: Toronto Fastfoodie
Exactly! I do like hazelnut, but anticipated many other flavours which were not present.
According to this thread on Redflagdeals, the price of these chocolates dropped to $11.99 a few days ago. Just saw the posting today and recalled talk in this thread about them. If you bought them previously you should be able to get a price adjustment... Although, if they are out of stock at the location you are going to I am not sure how the price adjustment would work:
re: Yongeman
BTW, I read after (on RFD) that Costco sometimes will not price adjust food... So, your mileage may vary (some people posted that they did price adjust....)

Posts filed under "Rules"
Brett Arend recently informed us of the passing of Dan Bunting, a man who "successfully managed money on behalf of private individuals and institutions for nearly 40 years."
Over the years, Bunting had developed a series of rules that governed his investing strategies.
Here is the short version of Bunting's Laws:
1. Sell stocks of companies that announce huge acquisitions, that overdiversify, or that spend a fortune on a lavish new headquarters.
2. Avoid stocks where management picks fights with analysts (or, by extension, hedge funds). See Overstock.com in 2005; Netflix in 2010.
3. Watch out when executives start selling a lot of stock — regardless of plausible-sounding excuses. Top execs in homebuilders, mortgage underwriters and Wall Street dumped billions before the 2008 crash.
4. "Run a mile" from all stocks in an industry going through a huge investment boom: Massive overcapacity and consequent collapse is inevitable.
5. Steer clear of investing in manufacturing companies. Their industries are usually plagued with extreme cycles of boom and bust, overcapacity and slumps.
6. Pay little attention to economists or market gurus.
7. Mistrust all mathematical trading formulas as well — they invariably fail just when you most need them to work.
8. Look for companies where the insiders are buying lots of stock.
9. Look for companies generating a lot of cash — a great sign of sustained outperformance.
10. Look for companies which have monopolies (or near monopolies), and those which manage to take out their main competitors.
11. Remember you are buying businesses, not just stocks. Pay close attention to the quality of the business, and especially the quality of the management.
12. Look for companies which have earned the trust of consumers, and which have very strong brand names.
Good list Brett, thanks for sharing.
12 stock investing rules for the next 40 years

I love this comment from Dynamic Hedges: "In cable news, debate means two opposing ideologues get equal time to spout bullshit. In trading, opposing views means someone is actually going to be right and someone is actually going to be wrong. Seek out debate and use it to clarify or disprove your thesis. Find people…Read More

Economists have been stumped by the past dozen years.
The Dotcom collapse was an early warning that economists, as a class, were not clued in. Sure a handful recognized that there were budding problems — think Bob Shiller — but he was notable as an exception.
Then we had the entire debacles of 2000s – derivative implosion, housing collapse, credit crisis, market crash — and we found that the vast majority of economists are academic theorists who were completely blindsided by events in the real world. And those were the good ones, as opposed to the biased hacks whose goals have nothing to do with discerning objective reality.
We need to admit that Economists, as a profession, are stumbling around in the dark.
To quote Edward Hadas, "Policymakers and pundits still make confident pronouncements, but the conclusions are radically different. The expert disagreements give away the truth: ignorance reigns."
Hadas identifies six questions which professionals should stop pretending they can answer:
1) What creates retail inflation?
2) How do financial asset prices affect the real economy?
3) Do big fiscal deficits damage the economy?
4) What does quantitative easing actually do?
5) How much leverage is too much?
6) How to deleverage without damaging the economy?
If economists cannot explain the basic workings of the economy, perhaps we should be relying on them much less for policy advice . . .
Admit economic ignorance

text: personally I feel that clubs have every right to go after the best player available regardless of nationality. I see the reasoning on the opposite side and although it would add to the nationalism there certainly would be a decrease in the quality of the competition in each league. Especially since many players from the poorer countries work so hard to make it out and play for the superior leagues of the planet. this opportunity wouldn't be as readily available as it is now. teams such as the ones you mentioned differ from others because they have the funds to pay all these players. If they were limited in how much they could spend where would all the money come from for lower echelon teams to sign great foreign players. Also theres a mystic to the elite teams, the all star collaboration of players is what sells tickets and merchandise.

Dallas texas prom dresses at wholesale
dallas texas prom dresses at wholesaleYou may also want to choose a long dress because the chance to. Wear one doesnt arise very often. Unless you really are a princess, prom is one of the few places. Where you can get away with wearing a long, gorgeous, over the top dress. Why shouldnt I choose a long dress. A long dress is beautiful on anyone, but its not always the most convenient choice. Long dresses can be pricier than short dresses. It can also be kind of a hassle to deal with all night. Its pretty annoying when the back of your dress is dragged. Through a puddle, or stepped on while youre out on the dance floor.
