Ukraine's Lesson for Investors: Know What's in Your ETFs
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The recent unrest in Ukraine offers an important lesson for investors: Know what's in the exchange-traded funds in your portfolio.
Last week's bloody protests killed scores of people and have led to the ouster of President Viktor Yanukovych. The country's parliament has appointed lawmaker Oleksandr Turchinov to take on the former president's duties until elections can be held in May, but there are fears the country may split in two.
At the root of the violence has been disagreement about whether the nation should move more toward the West as part of the European Union or align more closely with Russia.
Last week, Standard & Poor's lowered Ukraine's foreign currency rating to triple-C from triple-C-plus and warned that the government could default on its debt. This could spell trouble for emerging-market bond funds that have exposure to Ukraine debt.
According to ETF.com, the largest emerging-market bond fund according is the iShares JP Morgan USD Emerging Market Bond ETF
(EMB). It has a 3.25% weighting in the Ukraine. Other funds with exposure include PowerShares Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio
(PCY), which has a 3.97% exposure, and the iShares Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF
(EMHY), which has slightly less than 3%.
Funds with no exposure include the WisdomTree Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund (ELD), the Market Vectors EM Local Currency Bond ETF (EMLC) and the suite of ETFs recently launched by Emerging Global Advisors.
The fund with the largest exposure to the Ukraine that I could find was the ProShares Short Term USD Emerging Markets Bond ETF (EMSH) which is a relatively small fund with $11 million in assets. It has a 10% weighting.
There is a bigger point here about how to use exchange-traded products as part of a diversified portfolio.
Investors who construct portfolios with funds that have narrower focuses than broad funds such as SPDR S&P 500
(SPY), iShares MSCI EAFE ETF
(EFA) and iShares Core Total US Bond Market ETF
(AGG) must be willing to devote some time to understanding a fund's holdings and then monitoring those holdings for news like the default threat in the Ukraine.

The picture of petra martic is a very bright one, sure, it has a few black spots but certainly not enough to change the gist of the big picture.. Hence, lets say that petra being 62wta and the best and highest ranked player in cro is a good thing.. Lets just not focus on what isnt good.. Such as a loss to doi which was followed by surgery the same night..
Wanna blame someone? Blame the people in cro who did not see the cyst in november and because of whom she lost her pre-season, brisbane and sydney! Not petra or her team!

You were attack making and open. You now blame Croatians for the problem, real? If you are her team be more active and not talk behind, and I did not blame, just try make a reason of why she has problems. Defend all you care to though now you use this to blame others. As micl2 says, make release tell people, if not then do not go on forums to look in comments for attacks it's not right. It makes her look bad

Need help
I have kept fresh water fish for many years, and have moved into the planted tank relm. I am having very little success. I have a 36 gal with 2"laterite base with 2" of sand toping it. (2) 26" T5 HO 10,000k (2) 18" F15T8 Max plant growth(1) 24" F17T8 Super daylight bulbs.My light cycle is 11 hours a day. Filtration I am using a Cascade Canister filter model 1000. The plats I have are Rotala Indica, Micro sword, Dracaena, Spathiphyllum, ophiopogon, Trichomanes,pygmy sword chain. I just the plants that look good from my LFS. I have no CO2 system
I also have been fighting hundres and hundreds of tiny snails. I have 3 clown loaches, 3mollies, 3-4 guppies, 1 cory and a handful of black neons. Last edited by Gryphon; 04-14-2012 at 11:29 PM.. Reason: update |

Wannabe Guru
First off, Dracaena, Spathiphyllum, ophiopogon, and Trichomanes are not aquatic plants. I'm guessing you bought them from those tubes they sell at Petco? Most of those plants are not true aquatics ): This might explain most of the trouble you're having. Put them in some flowerpots and get some other plants for your tank. Check out the Swap 'n Shop section here for tons of people selling and trading plants.
Second, for not having a CO2 system, you have too much light. With that much light and no CO2 you're going to run into algae issues. I had two T5HOs over my 36 gallon and I was told that alone was too much light. T5HOs are very powerful lights. Post a question in the lighting forum and someone should be able to help you figure out the best combination from what you have. Lastly, the only way to get rid of the snails is to tear down the tank entirely and start over. If you just want their population controlled, use a combination of assassin snails, killing any snail you see, and trapping by lowering a piece of cucumber into the tank and then fishing it out once it's covered with snails. I've never done that but I hear it works well if you keep doing it. Good luck! |

Alex is White
How does this interact with Twitch's ultimate? Do all the bolts get the same range as his ult? Does it even work AT ALL with the item? Do they hit multiple targets? Do they hit targets based on the area around your first target hit?
Weirding ways
Question about how this interacts with the new manamune: -does it get procced at all? -if it does, do each bolt cost you mana (effectively trippling mana cost of the toggle)? Does it work if you're attacking a turret or other structure? Also, would it be possible to make this effect a toggle? I can see some cases where the bolts would be detrimental (attracting tower agro when last hitting under enemy tower when said enemy is nearby, or hitting that galio when his w is active, or accidentally killing that guy that zilean ulted), and would be nice to turn it off in such (admitedly rare) cases.
The only champions that are obscene with raw attack speed I can think off are Xin Zhao and Vayne. Good thing they don't benefit from it. Kog'maw, even Teemo will be tough ones though.

West Bank Story just won the Oscar for the Best Live Action Short Film:singing: WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe if i slapped the word "official" on it it would last longer. Of course i would have to combine that with massive amounts of brownnosing. Show me the way.
LOL well that would just ruin my week. take it easy chief, I'm just having fun. And we are on the internet, there are no doors. If you don't like the oscars that's not my problem. I can't help it if you have no respect for the film industry.
hey that seems just a tad extreme. What the hell did i do? am i the only person here who respects the film industry?
what act? Ohh so now you respect acting huh? yeah lets talk about acting after we just badmouthed the oscars. You are unbelievable.
Wow. You go away for a while and come back and find some things just haven't changed. What happened Keegs? Thought you said things would be changing. Lemme help this thread find it's rightful home in The Lounge. (Unless Ian added an assclown forum since I've been gone, where it would be better suited....)
I lost whatever "respect" I had for the film industry when Saving Private Ryan won for best director (and rightfully so as that was a brilliant directoral job) and yet lost Best Picture to that piece of trash of a movie Shakespeare in Love. As last night showed, best director/best picture almost always go hand in hand...........

The inertness of the column delivers excellent peak shape for active aldehyde and organic acid analytes in complex beer matrices. The inertness and selectivity of the DB-624UI column helps to make beer profiling by static head space GC straightforward. The performance of the column is compared to that of a standard 624 column.

"Worst AB I've Had"
Alec Bradley Prensado Robusto
AB is one of my favorite cigar brands, but this cigar was very disappointing. The draw and the construction were good, but I found the cigar to have no taste whatsoever. I've smoked two from a sampler I got a couple of months ago and they had been sitting on my wineador since they arrived. Not worth the money in my opinion.
Mike in Chicago, IL September 28, 2014
"Top 10 Vitola"
Alec Bradley Prensado Torpedo
My full flavored palate craves the complexity of Alec Bradley s Presado box pressed robusto. Featuring a skillful blending of powerful Honduran %26 Nicaraguan ligeros, capped off with the darkest corojo leaf imaginable. Real burn %26 draw issues throughout the entire AB line seem to be abating, otherwise believe the hype %26 like me, wonder about the negative reviews. Grab a few on sale %26 see if you don t agree that this probably represents full bodied corojos as well as any cigar in recent memory. 95/100
CigarSyd in Sidney August 31, 2014
"Nice but not great"
Alec Bradley Prensado Robusto
Excellent flavor for a medium bodied cigar. Draw was almost too good as a couple minutes into it the whole thing felt like it was very loosely rolled, maybe just a few bad sticks. A few minor imperfections in the wrapper. I hope I just received some dry smokes and some time in the humidor will help.
Mark in Northern Utah July 29, 2014
Alec Bradley Prensado Robusto
I tried one of these today and I must say that I was disappointed. The flavor was a one dimensional wood flavor that left a lot to be desired. The burn was consistently uneven, had to be touched up several times, and went out multiple times after a minute or two of sitting. The wrapper began cracking about halfway through and tried to unravel. The couple of positives I did find were an easy draw and a solid amount of smoke. Short story, I won't bother with this again.
James in Texas January 7, 2014
"Good with Port"
Alec Bradley Prensado Robusto
After three months in the humidor, this showed strong nicotine, and medium to full flavors of mostly strong cedar initially and then coffee. Burnt unevenly, and it went off when left unattended. Went quite nicely with a vintage port.
Stefan in San Francisco September 29, 2013
Alec Bradley Prensado Churchill
Considering what others, including Cigar Aficionado, have rated this cigar, I must say I am thoroughly disappointed! It burned unevenly, drew hard and had a faint odor of tuna fish...yes, tuna fish! I had to relight this thing after neglecting it for less than a minute! For almost $10.00 a stick, I feel ripped off to say the least! There are simply too many other options out there at this price point (and cheaper) that are leagues better! Sorry AB, it ain't worth it!
Jim in NYC July 14, 2013
"Better with age but still a dissapointing smoke"
Alec Bradley Prensado Torpedo
I purchased a box of these about 6 months ago and have smoked one a month to see if I can find a sweet spot for this blend. I like a stronger smoke and the Prensado just doesn t come into good flavour until the last 3rd. Its improved over time but much better smokes available in this novices opinion.
BG in Sydney Australia June 8, 2013
"Over rated"
Alec Bradley Prensado Robusto
Bought a five pack of these based on the cigar affection auto ratings. Overrated, hard on the draw, not a pleasurable smoke. Can do much better with Aging Room for less money.
H Man in Long Island June 7, 2013
"Smooth Cigar"
Alec Bradley Prensado Churchill
Hints of coffee and spice with creamy thick smoke. The cigar is listed as full but I thought it was more of a medium cigar. Taste was good with easy draw but uneven burn for the whole smoke. Worth a purchase and try.
Anthony in California June 7, 2013
"Tasty, nutty, coffee like awesome smoke!"
This cigar is without a doubt one of my favorites. It is full of flavor down to the last draw. It tastes like I am eating a hand full of peanuts. The draw is perfect. Only complaint... Not the most even burn I have experienced, but worth every dollar.
Anthony in Georgia June 4, 2013

Hats off for the Hannibal Tv series for showcasing a craft beer loving female lead
Caroline Dhavernas's character Dr. Alana Bloom prefers to drink beer when socializing with the cannibal Dr. Hannibal in NBC's Tv series based on the novel Red Dragon.
Having never had the pleasure of reading the novel the Tv series is based on, I can't comment as to the original character's drinking preference but I will say that this was an intentional aspect of the Tv show's character writers.
Dr. Bloom's preference for beer sets her apart from, but on the same sophisticated level as, her fine dining colleagues. Demonstrating that, not only is craft beer no longer just for men, but it's also for drinkers with discerning palates.
Sign of a true beer geek? Sniff, sniff, sniff!
Dr. Bloom airs a sense of specialized individualism that adds depth to her playful, down to earth character.
Even Dr. Hannibal starts to advocate the superiority of beer and food pairings when he servers a dish of south Indian curry made from sheep. Based in a coconut coriander chili sauce and served with a home brewed beer sporting hand written labels and swing top bottles. Wine doesn't pair well with curry- someone on the Hannibal set has been reading The Brewmaster's Table.
Beer geeks are constantly looking at what beers are being used in the entertainment they frequent, but this is more than Walt from Breaking Bad ordering a Fat Tire on tap or Sweetwater IPA in the season 4 trailer of Walking Dead, this is use of craft beer to define a character. A female character! One that is discerning, original and … Geeky. Respect.

The 41-year-old actor assured his fans he's is coming back to play the fictional character created in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming and the next Bond film will begin production late next year, Variety reported.
"Uh, we start the end of the next year, so...," Craig told a female fan after the performance of his Broadway play A Steady Rain.
It is being reported that the next Bond flick, Bond 23, has just Craig and Judi Dench attached at this point. The film does not have a director yet.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — Organizers of an annual festival of laughter hosted a 5K race with a unique dress code.
As part of the 3.1-mile FUNderwear Run on Sunday morning, runners were encouraged by Gilda's LaughFest to wear undies on the outside, over their clothes.
Organizers said about 300 people participated, with misty conditions and a 21-degree temperature at the 10 a.m. start.
The FUNderwear Run supports Gilda's Club Grand Rapids, a free emotional health support community where people can find laughter in the midst of a cancer or grief journey.

Wachovia Center
Attendance: None
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Andre Iguodala dropped a season-high 29 points to go with six assists, and the Philadelphia 76ers rolled to 100-79 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.
Iguodala sunk four of Philadelphia's season-high 11 three-pointers in the club's season-high fifth straight victory. Lou Williams and Andre Miller each doled out six assists to go with 14 and 12 points, respectively, in the convincing win.
"Guys have the green light (to shoot the three)," Sixers head coach Tony DiLeo said. "It's contagious. A few guys knock down shots and it gets contagious."
Portland's three-game winning streak came to a screeching halt after shooting just 39.4 percent from the field. Brandon Roy led the way with 27 points, while LaMarcus Aldridge logged 15 points and nine rebounds in defeat.
The Sixers more than doubled up the Blazers in the opening quarter, as Iguodala's 14 points and the club's four three-balls paved the way for a 31-15 cushion.
Philly proceeded to score the first eight points of the second quarter to jump out to a 24-point lead. Iguodala's three-ball -- the Sixers' eighth from long range in the first half -- brought the difference to 55-33 at the break.
The opening of the third resembled that of the previous quarter but with Portland inching back behind an 11-0 run. The hosts failed to hit a field goal until Marreese Speights' dunk at the 5:33 mark, and the Blazers scored the last six of the stanza to get within 69-59.
A 14-2 Sixers run early in the fourth -- highlighted by a pair of makes from behind the arc by Thaddeus Young -- rebuilt Philly's 20-point edge, and the hosts cruised from there.

New York Red Bulls goalkeeper Ryan Meara wants to play for Giovanni Trapattoni's Ireland.
The Irish-American MLS star has officially declared for the Republic and is about to be capped at under 21 level.
Trapattoni has repeatedly called on Irish-American players to let the FAI know of their heritage.
Already the Republic have capped American born Derby County player Conor Doyle at underage level – but Doyle later returned to the American colors.
And Meara will follow suit when he is called into the Irish under 21 squad for a friendly with Denmark later this month.
The Under 21 team manager Noel King told the Irish Sun newspaper: "Ryan has made contact and wants to play for us.
"We were made aware of his eligibility and we spoke to him and his club. He is keen to give it a go. He was already an Irish citizen and it was just a matter of getting his passport which he has now.
"He's playing at a good level, with and against international players. I've watched him online and spoken to people who have watched him in action there and the feedback has been good."
Yonkers native Meara was drafted by the Red Bulls in pre-season after impressing for Fordham University.
The 21-year-old has played in their eight MLS games to date and is due to come up against Robbie Keane's LA Galaxy this Saturday.

Communism and homosexuality
Views on LGBT rights and homosexuality in general throughout communist history have ranged from acceptance to apathy to condemnation. While homosexuality has sometimes been labeled by communists as "one of the effects of capitalist sociality"[1][2] and the product of the bourgeoisie,[3][4][5] some communists have more recently argued that Gay Liberation and LGBT equality is a key issue.[6][7][8]
Karl Marx himself spent very little of his time discussing sexuality. Friedrich Engels condemned homosexuality and associated it with pedophilia.[9] A large influence on communist thought historically were the principles of the Soviet Union. In 1917 in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, Vladimir Lenin decriminalized homosexuality, and allowed openly homosexual people to serve in the government. Joseph Stalin re-criminalized homosexuality in 1933 (Stalin's criminal code punishing gay men by up to five years in prison with hard labor) and the law withstood through the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and was only repealed with the fall of communism in 1993.[10] According to RT, "several hundred people [were] charged with it every year" and it "was also a convenient tool for smears and was tacked onto spying allegations during the NKVD purges".[11]
Early history[edit]
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels said very little on the subject in their published works. Marx in particular commented rarely on sexuality in general, and the revolutionaries around him had no sense of a definitive agenda or ideology on the matter. Yet, in private, Engels criticized homosexuality and related it to ancient Greek bourgeois traditions of pedophilia.[9]
The Communist Manifesto does not address the issue of sexual orientation or gender identity. Later communist leaders and intellectuals took many different positions on LGBT-rights issues.
The German Communist Party, during the Weimar Republic, joined with the Social Democrats in support of efforts to legalize private homosexual relations between consenting adults. Yet, the situation for LGBT rights in the first Communist government in Russia were something of a mixed bag.
The Communist Party abolished all Czarist laws and its subsequent criminal code in the 1920s, did not criminalize non-commercial same-sex sexuality between consenting adults in private. It also provided for no-fault divorce and legalized abortion.[12] However, homosexuality remained a criminal offense in certain Soviet Union states in the 1920s.
In 1933, Joseph Stalin added Article 121 to the entire Soviet Union criminal code, which made male homosexuality a crime punishable by up to five years in prison with hard labor. The precise reason for Article 121 is in some dispute among historians. The few official government statements made about the law tended to confuse homosexuality with pedophilia and was tied up with a belief that homosexuality was only practiced among fascists or the aristocracy.
The law remained intact until after the dissolution of the Soviet Union; it was repealed in 1993.[13][14]
According to RT, the law against homosexuality led to "several hundred people [being] charged with it every year" and it "was also a convenient tool for smears and was tacked onto spying allegations during the NKVD purges".[11]
Homosexuals and communist membership[edit]
Homosexuals were sometimes denied membership or expelled from communist parties[15] across the globe during the 20th Century, as most communist parties followed the social precedents set by the USSR.
Association of communism with homosexuality by anti-communists[edit]
Senator Joseph McCarthy used accusations of homosexuality as a smear tactic in his anti-communist crusade, often combining the Second Red Scare with the Lavender Scare. On one occasion, he went so far as to announce to reporters, "If you want to be against McCarthy, boys, you've got to be either a Communist or a cocksucker."[16] Some historians have argued that, in linking communism and homosexuality and psychological imbalance, McCarthy was employing guilt-by-association if evidence for communist activity was lacking.[17]
Senator Kenneth Wherry similarly attempted to invoke a connection between homosexuality and anti-nationalism. He said in an interview with Max Lerner that "You can't hardly separate homosexuals from subversives." Later in that same interview he drew the line between patriotic Americans and gay men: "But look Lerner, we're both Americans, aren't we? I say, let's get these fellows [closeted gay men in government positions] out of the government."[18]
Connections between gay rights groups and radical leftists were not merely a figment of the imaginations of demagogues. The Mattachine Society, one of the earliest gay rights groups in the United States, was founded by Harry Hay, a former member of the Communist Party who was kicked out of the gay rights group he'd founded for his ties to the party.[19]
Famous ex-communist former Soviet agent Whittaker Chambers notably spent his time in the left-wing underground purusing both homosexual and heterosexual affairs, but he kept his liaisons quiet since his communist associates despised homosexuality.[20][21] Chambers later monogamously married the pacifist painter Esther Shemitz, working as a journalist and editor.
Current status[edit]
None of the four self-identified socialist states[examples needed] as of 2013 recognized same-sex marriages, civil unions, or registered partnerships.[22][better source needed] There are also no anti-discrimination laws in place, but homosexuality is legal in each country.[23]
Status by country[edit]
China (People's Republic of)[edit]
Homosexuality was decriminalized in China in 1997 and was removed as a mental illness in 2002.[24] Chinese society itself is somewhat tolerant of homosexuality,[25] and Li Yinhe, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, is an LGBT rights activist. Same-sex marriage bills have been routinely proposed before the government since 2003, though none have yet made it out of committee.[26]
Shortly after the Cuban Revolution, the position of the Cuban leadership on the issue of homosexuality was negative, but in 1979, sodomy laws were repealed.[27]
In July 2007, a civil union law was proposed to the government, but has yet to be voted on.[28] The move was supported by Raúl Castro's daughter, Mariela Castro, who has been a longtime supporter of LGBT rights.[29]
In 2009, Cuba signed the UN declaration on sexual orientation and gender identity which sought to decriminalize homosexuality worldwide.[30]
It has been announced that a bill establishing civil unions that include all the rights of marriage in Cuba (including adoption) and banning discrimination based on one's sexual orientation, will be voted on in the national assembly in July 2011.[31]
Since the Pathet Lao took over in 1975, the Lao government has been completely silent on LGBT rights and homosexuality itself. Homosexuality is not a crime in Laos, but female homosexuality is relatively frowned upon while male homosexuality is widely more tolerated. A growing acceptance of homosexuality in Laos continues.[32]
Vietnam's state-run media in 2002 referred to homosexuality as a "social evil"; comparing it to prostitution and gambling, and supporting laws against it.[33] As of 2009[update], such laws have not been introduced. There have been no recorded laws against same-sex contact in Vietnam for all of the country's several thousand years of existence and the matter is generally not discussed. Until 2000, laws against cohabitation were in place and the government used these to arrest same-sex couples.[34] The communist youth newspaper, on the other hand, ran a story that stated people can be born homosexual, as they can be born left-handed.[35] Attitudes among Vietnamese youth have also fallen on par to these statements.[36]
On 5 August 2012, Vietnam hosted its first Gay-pride parade. Despite the protesters' not having a permit, the police made no attempt to stop the demonstration nor were there any reports of negative reaction. The event followed a surprise proposal by the country's Justice Ministry in July to amend Vietnam's marriage laws to include same-sex couples. Public officials say that the country is on the verge of recognising same-sex marriage, which would make Vietnam the first Asian country to do so.[37]
Status in former communist states[edit]
Homosexuality was deemed illegal under the majority of former communist states, particularly in Europe, but in certain cases, such laws had pre-existed before the establishment of Soviet-influenced doctrine. Homosexuality carried harsh penalties in the People's Socialist Republic of Albania, to which convicted homosexuals faced lengthy prison sentences and ill-treatment in prison. Homosexuality was also illegal in the People's Republic of Mongolia, but the extent to which these laws were enforced remain unknown. Homosexuality was officially decriminalized in the German Democratic Republic in 1967, a year ahead of the NATO-backed Federal Republic of Germany.[38] The age of consent was later equalized in 1987, and in 1988 in West Germany.
In the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, where communist ideology has been supplemented by Juche, LGBT rights are very limited and the subject of homosexuality remains fiercely taboo. While the government proclaims tolerance for gay people and has acknowledged its belief that homosexuality is not a choice and rather due to genetic factors, it rejects the alleged "promiscuity and classism" of gay culture in the West.[39]
Non-governing political party opinions[edit]
The American Revolutionary Communist Party's policy that "struggle will be waged to eliminate [homosexuality] and reform homosexuals" was abandoned in 2001.[40] The RCP now fully supports the gay liberation movement.[41] Meanwhile, the large and influential[citation needed] American Socialist Workers Party (SWP) in the US released a memo stating that gay oppression had less "social weight" than black and women's struggles, and prohibited members from being involved in gay political organizations.[42] They also believed that too close an association with gay liberation would give the SWP an "exotic image" and alienate it from the masses.[43] Several non-governing communist parties have made statements supporting LGBT rights, such as the Communist Party USA, which supports extending marriage to same-sex couples and passing laws against discrimination based on one's sexual orientation. The League for the Revolutionary Party, a communist party based in New York, issued a statement shortly after the passage of California's Proposition 8 condemning the amendment; reaffirming their support for same-sex marriage and expressing their views on how gay liberation is essential to the communist philosophy.[44]
The New People's Army, a communist insurgency within the Philippines has also made several statements supporting equal rights of same-sex couples and gay individuals; performing the first same-sex marriage in the country and officially endorsing such legislation if they were to come to power. They also went farther to express their support for same-sex relationships,[45] and gay and lesbians were allowed to serve in their forces before the entire country.[46] Other communist parties present in Germany and other European countries have also officially endorsed LGBT rights, including the right to same-sex marriage, and some even have extensive LGBT platforms in their parties.[47] The general secretary of the Communist Party of Finland is openly homosexual and the party also participates in the LGBT working group of the European Left Party. In recent elections held in Jawaharlal Nehru University, the student's wing of CPI(M) nominated a gay person as its candidate for key position [48]

Green Seasons is the third vegetarian cookbook written by Rachel Demuth, a leading vegetarian chef who runs the acclaimed vegetarian restaurant Demuths and the highly successful Vegetarian Cookery School in Bath. I've made quite a few of the recipes in the book, which include vegan and gluten free ones too; they have all been successful and delicious. You can find out more by reading my review of Green Seasons. The book has recently been made available for iPad so if on-line cookery books are more your thing, you may want to take a look. As well as the book, I can highly recommend the courses at the cookery school, at least the one I attended on Middle Eastern mezze anyway.
The pudding may be Mexican by name, but possibly not by nature. I'm not sure where the cinnamon or the chillies came from, but I don't think there was a single ingredient of Mexican provenance. However, Latin American it certainly was: the 100% chocolate bought on a recent trip to the Eden Project was Colombian, the rum was Cuban and the limes hailed from Brazil. The chocolate, very handily, came in two 125g blocks, which made it a breeze for me to halve the recipe - after all, there was only CT and I to indulge in them and even for us, a pudding to serve eight seemed a little excessive. Sadly, the limes arrived with very little information, but they did appear to be waxed, so I made sure I scrubbed them well with warm water and washing up liquid before using.
This is how I made:
Mexican Chocolate Pudding with Chilli and Lime Mango Slices
- Melted 125g of Colombian 100% chocolate in a small saucepan over gently heat with 150 ml of milk. Stirred until almost smooth.
- Took of the heat and added 1 tbsp of white Cuban rum.
- Creamed 25g unsalted butter with 75g vanilla (caster) sugar.
- Beat in a yolk from a duck egg and put the white in a clean bowl.
- Beat in the chocolate mixture.
- Sifted in 20g wholemeal spelt, 10g cocoa powder, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/8 tsp baking powder. Stirred gently until just combined.
- Whisked the egg white until stiff and folded into the chocolate mix. Spooned into four buttered ramekins.
- Placed the ramekins in a tin and filled to about 1 cm with water.
- Baked at 180C for about 17 minutes.
- Peeled and sliced a ripe mango (rather messily)
- Dissolved 2 tbsp cardamom (caster) sugar in a large pan with 1 tbsp water over a low heat.
- Turned up the heat and added 1/2 tsp chilli flakes followed by the mango slices.
- Allowed to bubble away for a few minutes until the liquid had turned syrupy.
- Removed from the heat and added the grated zest and juice of one well scrubbed Brazilian lime.
- Ran a knife around the edge of the puddings to loosen them, then turned out onto plates. Dusted with cocoa and added some reserved lime zest to the top.
- Served with some the mango slices.
Thank you to Chris of Cooking Around the World for choosing Mexico for this month's Blogging Around the World - he finally got me to make this rather wonderful dessert.
Kate of What Kate Baked has chosen Perfect Puddings for this month's Tea Time Treats. Hmmm, perfect looking my puddings aren't but I think they might hit the perfect button for taste, smell and touch. This monthly challenge is co-hosted by Karen of Lavender and Lovage.
Bookmarked for more than three years, this has to be a contender for Jac's Bookmarked Recipes over at Tinned Tomatoes.
Those two romantics Dolly Bakes and Laura Loves Cakes have a valentine's theme for this month's Calendar Cakes with My Achy Cakey Heart. Well as already described, this may not look that pretty but it's very likely to win over your Valentine.
Finally, I think, I am submitting these to Simple and in Season as limes are in full season now. Started by Ren of Fabulicious Foods, this month's host is C of the fabulicious Cake, Crumbs and Cooking.

What is it that allows some people to get creative breakthroughs while others get only creative breakdowns — alternately blaming themselves, society, their company, and their increasingly suspect astrological configurations? Is it true that people who experience breakthroughs are "gifted"? Or are there other factors at work — factors that we (the people) have more control over than we might think? While nobody can deny that some people seem to be blessed with "creative leanings" (i.e. Mozart at 4), research has shown that anyone can increase their chances of coming up with new and original ideas — even have the much sought after AHA! experience — that is, IF they immerse themselves in the little understood process of creation. Time and again, the literature bears this out: great creative breakthroughs usually happen only after intense periods of intention, immersion, struggle — even madness. It is sustained and focused effort towards … Continue reading
The next time somebody approaches you with a "crazy" idea, pause before putting them down. Instead of looking for what's wrong, look for what's right. See if you can find a hidden jewel in the idea, a principle, an essence that the idea originator is on to — even if the idea itself is rough, raw, or imperfect. The fact is: most great inventions, products, or services begin as a crazy idea. Maybe 99 out of 100 times, the so-called crazy idea will go nowhere, but the 100th time it just may be a winner. And one more thing — if you make a habit out of trashing other people's "crazy" ideas too quickly, people will soon stop approaching you with any idea. Then all you'll be left with are your own.

I have been an innovation consultant since 1986 and have worked with hundreds of organizations in more than 15 industries. The products and services of my clients have all been different — as have their acronyms, mission statements, and cafeteria food. But they all have one thing in common — and that is a pronounced tendency to undervalue the power of appreciation. Sure, they give out gold watches and Employee of the Month awards, but the simple act of acknowledging and appreciating each other on a daily basis is in woeful short supply. The reasons are many. Too many managers have come to believe that the expression of appreciation will be counterproductive, leading to a self-satisfied workforce — a workforce that will be entitled and unmotivated. The perceived lack of time is another reason. Most people's plates are so full these days that the time and attention it takes to … Continue reading
Here's a wonderful article, just published in Bloomberg Business Week that raises a very curious paradox — why academics are teaching innovation. Authors G. Michael Maddock and Raphael Louis Viton state their case clearly, cleanly, and with just enough of an edge to draw blood. "Process-driven cultures love process-driven experts. Organizations, just like people, do what makes them feel strong, and nothing makes mature, process-driven companies feel stronger than having a template for doing anything (even if having a completely buttoned-down-ain't-no-exceptions-allowed template for innovation seems oxymoronic on its face). Need innovation? Simply call in a PhD with a bow tie and trademarked process and watch your innovation portfolio grow. Right? Nope." If you are a professor and find Maddock and Viton's article objectionable, speak up! Let them know what you think — and why. Maybe you're the one who's found a way to teach innovation in a novel, cut-to-the-chase, non-academic … Continue reading
Allow me to make a wild guess. You have participated in more than a few brainstorm sessions in your life. Yes? And allow me to make another wild guess. Many of those sessions left you feeling underwhelmed, over-caffeinated, disappointed, disengaged, and doubtful that much of ANYTHING was ever going to happen as a result of your participation. Yes, again? I thought so. There's a ton of reasons why most brainstorming sessions under-deliver, but the main reason — the Mount Olympus of reasons (drum roll, please….) is the brainstorm facilitator. Armed with a short list of ground rules, a flipchart marker, and a muffin, most brainstorm facilitators miss the mark completely. The reason has less to do with their process, tools, and techniques than it does with their inability to adapt to what's happening, real-time, in the room. In an all-too-professional attempt to be one-pointed, they end up being one-dimensional, missing … Continue reading
Most companies begin on a shoe-string — under-funded, under the gun, and under the radar. The company I co-founded in 1986, Idea Champions, was no exception. When my business partner and I began, we had almost nothing — just an idea, some chutzpah, and a deep desire to succeed. While we both were likable, smart, and skillful schmoozers, we had zippo in the way of a marketing plan. Racking what was left of our over-caffeinated brains, it soon became abundantly clear that we needed some kind of showcase, some kind of "window to the world" — a place to strut our entrepreneurial stuff and get in front of the people who were the likely buyers of our service… Back in those days, this meant one thing — renting a booth at the ASTD convention — the annual meet market in the training and development field. The thought of this made … Continue reading

Lets think that I am building a large secret project. Since I cannot actually say what I am building (whatever it is, I want to build it in Python), lets consider a large social network or photo sharing site (think it has millions of users right from the start).
Yes, all of the above is too much, but I want to keep it that way.
Now considering the above, should I build the website right from scratch or go with a web framework?
If you'd suggest that I go with a web framework, which should it be? I've heard that Django was built for small-to-large news websites, and I've read many suggesting against using it for large complex websites. Other web frameworks that I've come across (upon searching) are Pylons, Web.py, Werkzeug, and TurboGears. What suits me best? One of the above or something else?
NEW: I missed this. I should also be able to create APIs for my website.
I hope you don't take my question as being too out-of-my-mind type. I really look forward to your advise. Thanks.
EDIT: I don't know why this thread has been closed as not being constructive, 'coz in general, anyone who wants to build something definitely want to make it large, they visualize it at large (or why build it?). Or is it only me?
Anyway, for anyone coming over here looking for an answer, here's what I've decided to do -- I chose Django (yeah, had to, finally) and here's why:
- It's a mature and extremely popular Python framework - - meaning (1) it could be that the problem you're facing may have already been headbanged and solved for you; (2) It has everything built-in (caching system, APIs etc), so instead of writing it all from scratch, you can work on making it better aka optimize it for your application; rather than get something like web.py or Pylons or whatever and write it all by yourself (I am sure, you'd have to headbang a lot then). Instead, get to understand a solid, mature framework, how it works and stuff, and make it and your app better. (3) It, I feel, is foolish to think that "real programmers/developers do it all by themselves" or "you are not doing something new when you are doing it on somebody else's existing work." Get rid of that attitude. A startup's aim should be to provide a better service first, then something new. People opt for a better service first, they don't jump ships to everything that's new. (4) There are more important things to worry about. You get to know them when you jump into the pond. (5) You out-grow other python web frameworks quite quickly, as their feature-set is small (at least compared to Django). QUOTE: "As soon as you realize you need [to implement] a feature (e.g. caching), you'll have to implement it yourself." (6) Scaling? Every web framework has its own scaling issues, so you can't go wrong with any one. Just remember that it's how you write your code, that matters most, especially when it comes to scaling. (7) And of course, you should note that all this talk is about building something large, which means you'd need to implement a lot of web technologies. If you are building something small, you'd probably be better off with smaller web frameworks as they get you started quickly, and finish it quickly as well. (8) Last but not least, choose a framework that you're most comfortable with. If you feel so horrible with Django that you think you'd be better off writing all those extra features all by yourself, then go, choose some other framework that gives you that freedom.
All the above are my personal thoughts, and since I am a beginner they might seem ignorant/childish. But they're my 2 cents.
[Sorry about using "Photosharing site" as an example in most of my questions. It's just that I want to build something big. Plz pay no heed to that.]
