The front oven control panel was already in need of replacement. The digital readout had quit working sometime ago, so we began by replacing the control panel as well as the temperature probe. Neither of these items did the trick. Next I replaced the HI/Lo sensor switch. This replacement was a bit more labor intensive. Have to remove several screws and remove a large portion of the top of the stove. Once access is gained to the hi/lo switch, it takes (2) minutes to replace it. This of course did not take care of the problem either. Finally I replaced the bake/broil/convection circuit board. This was a bit of a job, only because of the amount of wires to and from this board. I litterally took a picture of the board (from this web site) and drew in the wires and marked them by color and noted where they went. I then merely unplugged each wire and with one screw, removed the board and installed the new one. After plugging in the wires as per my picture, SUCCESS. The board did the trick. Over all, it was not bad doing the work myself. I know we saved a lot of money my doing it ourselves. Just gotta have patience.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Great product and service!
We've been purchasing calendar magnets for our schools for nearly a decade, and remain highly satisfied each year! The flexibility in personalizing each magnet is greatly appreciated, and the resulting product always meets or exceeds our expectations. We'll be back again next year! Thank you so much!
Great Company and excellent product!
We have ordered these magnets through Magnetstreet for several years and always have great service! Quick turn around and great product!
They are very helpful if you have any questions about ordering. I was kept up to date about the progress of my order and the shipping process. I am very pleased with the quality of the magnets and how quickly they were received.
Magnet for research study
I was asked by my research group to find a company to produce a magnet for us that could be used by participants to help with goal setting. Customer Service was extremely helpful and guided me through their website to help me find the perfect product that could be customized to our needs with reasonable prices. Their prices were better than their competitors and allowed us more flexibility not only with pricing but also with the design. The turn around time for the art proof was a couple of days. The art department worked with us on revisions until we were satisfied. Shortly after they began production and within a week or so we received the magnets. They look just like the art proof. The quality is excellent and is the perfect size. The magnetic backing works great and is better than magnetic products of the same size & shape. I would certainly recommend this product for any school and/or university looking to do something similar or use just as a calendar magnet.
Dry erase boards were exactly what we needed!
Very impressed with MagnetStreet's service - especially their design team and how fast we got this item! These dry erase boards are very simple, but the final product looked way more expensive than anyone will ever guess.

Santel said Congress has passed a measure authorizing the hiring of 252 agents to handle the illegal animal trade but the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service does not have all those officers assigned. Santel said even if all the agents were working on the illicit trade in animals, it still wouldn't be enough, especially since U.S. Fish and Wildlife agents handle other duties as well. Like other federal agents — and especially since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks — they have to handle security issues at dams and nuclear plants. Many of the agents — Santel estimated 25 percent of the Fish and Wildlife staff — can be used on other assignments involving national security instead of animal trafficking.
Opportunities for Animal Smuggling Everywhere
It is difficult for investigators to gauge which states are the worst for illegal animal trafficking. Hoover said it depends largely on the kind of animals being smuggled or the kind of illegal trade. But officials have noticed significant activities and arrests in California, Florida, Texas and New York. Texas, Hoover said, would attract a lot of activity in the illegal animal trade because it has a lot of gaming ranches.
"States with more population centers are more likely to have illegal activity," Hoover said.
Santel says that no state is particularly notorious for illegal animal trade. Any place that has an opportunity to slip materials past a checkpoint or any place that has a wealthy resource of animals is a potential trouble spot and goldmine for animal traffickers.
"Wherever you have a large number of particular resources, that's an opportunity for violations," Santel said. "In a place like New York, which has a large population and airports like JFK [International] Airport, you could have an opportunity for smuggling a lot of animals through airport security. That opportunity probably wouldn't be seen in the airport in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. But New York probably would not have the populations of mussels seen in the Mississippi River. … It really depends on what kind of opportunity a place presents."
Wanted — Preferably Dead
As the Lantz case shows, tigers have been popular among animal traffickers — and not just because of their fur and hides. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that the hides of tigers, leopards and other large cats can be worth between $5,000 and $20,000 to collectors. Every part of the tiger is a potential trading item. Tiger penises, investigators said, have been used for aphrodisiacs, soups and traditional Chinese medicine. Tiger bones have been used in remedies for arthritis and rheumatism.
"With tigers, no part of the animal, nothing gets wasted in this type of trade," said Scott Flaherty, spokesman for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "When most people think of tigers, they think of the hide, the skin. But the gall bladders, the skulls, teeth … there's a market for every part of the tiger."
Flaherty said tigers are appealing to animal traffickers because they breed well in captivity but are very expensive to take care of. They eat a lot, grow up fast, and need a lot of space to roam.

Modern warfare with its complex strategies, and advanced, long-distance weapons bears little resemblance to the hand-to-hand skirmishes of our ancestors. This may mean we're left with battle instincts unsuited to our time, suggested several participants at the Oregon conference.Overconfidence in the strength of numbers is one example, says Dominic Johnson of the University of Edinburgh, UK. He found that in a simulated war game, men tended to overestimate their chance of winning, making them more likely to attack (Proceedings of the Royal Society B, vol 273, p 2513). Thus, a dictator surveying his soldiers on parade may vastly overrate his military strength. "In the Pleistocene, nobody would have been able to beat that," says John Tooby at the University of California at Santa Barbara.Soldiers going into battle today don't make the decisions, says Richard Wrangham of Harvard University, which may make them more fearful fighters. "In primitive warfare, men were fighting because they wanted to."
The threat of disease could have driven the evolution of war - at least within a nation.This controversial idea is the brainchild of Randy Thornhill, an evolutionary biologist at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. He argues that cultures become more insular and xenophobic where diseases and parasites are common, preferring to drive away strangers who may carry new diseases.
In contrast, cultures with a low risk of disease are more open to outsiders. Thornhill thinks these attitudes to outsiders colour each culture's propensity for war.Sure enough, when Thornhill and his colleagues gathered data from 125 civil wars, they found that such wars were far more common in nations with higher rates of infectious disease, such as Indonesia and Somalia.Participants at the conference at the University of Oregon in Eugene greeted Thornhill's theory with interested scepticism.
It is "a very different way of thinking that has to be taken seriously", says primatologist Francis White who works at the university. John Orbell, a political scientist also at the university, says the idea is "pretty persuasive".
Thornhill admits his ideas are hard to test, because countries with high disease levels are often poor, multi-ethnic and authoritarian, all of which can drive civil unrest. However, he says, when infectious disease fell in western nations in the 20th century thanks to antibiotics and sanitation, those same societies also became less xenophobic.

Ronn Motor Company, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware Corporation (PINKSHEETS: RNNM), is an automotive design, development and manufacturing company formed to help create and motivate change in the world in a move towards more environmentally conscious, … see full wiki
Ronn Motors of Austin, Texas yesterday unveiled their Scorpion exotic car, which can flat out run. Not only that, it exceeds current and future U. S. CAFÉ standard for automobile gas mileage.
With zero to 60 mph acceleration in under 4 seconds, the Ronn Scorpion fits well in the supercar class. But, it's also a bit of a tea totaler when it comes to gasoline as it is rated at 40-plus mpg highway. Compare this to other supercars like Lamborghinis that get less than 10 mpg or perhaps a Prius that is in the mid-40's.
How does the Ronn Scorpion pull off this feat? Well, you've heard me talk about different run your car on water methods before and the Scorpion uses a Hydrorunner hydrogen fuel injection system to increase gas mileage and reduce emissions.
Simply put, the Hydrorunner sips from a 1.5 gallon water tank, turns the H2O into HHO gas then injects this into the car's intake system. The dual computer processor onboard the Scorpion figures out the right gas to HHO mix and optimizes it under various driving conditions.
Now, 40 mpg may not be the Holy Grail in gas savings, but what most people don't realize is that Ronn Motors and Check Engine (developer of the Hydrorunner) are committing a first. Never before has an auto manufacturer included a hydrogen generator as a standard part of the automobile.
This could be the end of the catalytic convertor as we know it. This also opens the door for other automakers to say yes to offering these water car devices standard on their automobiles as well.
When 190 of the limited edition Scorpions start to roll out in October 2008, they will all be equipped with this gas saving device. This supercar doesn't have a super price either compared to its exotic Italian counterparts and is being sold for $150,000.
Public shares of Ronn Motors are now being offered on the Over The Counter Exchange. Time will tell if their shares will be in as high demand as their hydrogen on demand supercar will surely be.

Antec bumps up it's Kuhler series with the 1250
Subject: Cases and Cooling | February 24, 2014 - 02:45 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: antec, all in one, water cooler, KUHLER H20 1250
As you might expect from the name, the Antec Kuhler 1250 is a larger version of the popular all in one liquid CPU coolers. This model is designed for overclockers, with a radiator measuring 159mm x 120mm x 27mm which does limit the amount of enclosures it will fit in unless you plan on an external mount. As it is only $10 more than the smaller 950 it comes out ahead on [H]ard|OCP's dollar to performance ratio; at $120 it is a bit of an investment but for overclockers it is a decent solution to heat problems.
"Antec and its All-In-One sealed system CPU coolers have been around for a good while now. We still have some of its first series working well here in the HardOCP offices. Today we have Antec's newly designed high end Kuhler model 1250. It has some unique offerings all based on new cold plates and big double fan radiator."

Seasonic's S12G-550; you have to pay for prime power
Subject: Cases and Cooling | February 21, 2014 - 05:49 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: PSU, seasonic, S12G-550, 550W, 80 Plus Gold
With an 80 Plus Gold rating and the ability to deliver 45A on its single 12V rail the 550W Seasonic S12G-550 PSU is perfect for a mid-range rig. A pair of 6+2 PCIe connectors gives you a choice of powering a single high end GPU or two low or midrange GPUs. It is also relatively small, barely larger than the 120mm cooling fan it uses though some may be turned off by its non-modular cables. At around $85 it is not the least expensive model at that wattage but [H]ard|OCP's Silver Award proves it is worth it if you want solid power for your system.
"Seasonic builds some of the best computer power supplies on the market. When do we ever get a power supply that is actually a better product than what it is marketed to be? Not often, but that is the case with the S12G-550 PSU. It is not terribly inexpensive, but it is a great value for your hard earned dollars."

SilverStone Technology is a well known brand name with high quality solutions in the form of everything from cases to case-mounted fan controllers and displays. They have also gone through several iterations of CPU all-in-on liquid cooling solutions with their newest models being part of the Tundra Series. The Tundra Series TD02 liquid cooler is designed to cool CPUs of any make, including the latest offering from both Intel and AMD. The cooler is comprised of a massive 2x120mm radiator attached to a copper base plate with integrated pump. To best measure the TD02's performance, we set it against several other high-performance liquid and air-based coolers. With a retail MSRP of $129.99, the TD02 comes in at the higher end of the all-in-one cooler price range.

Insert Thirty-Six Supapipe Jokes Here
Subject: General Tech, Cases and Cooling | February 17, 2014 - 08:36 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: passive cooling, cooling
Somewhere in the world, someone is developing a passively-cooled desktop made up of copper water pipes. Thirty-six (36) of them pass through what looks like an aluminum block attached to the socket LGA 1155 heatsink mount. As the copper pipes heat up, it passes to the air within it. Convection forces this to exhaust upward through the copper chimney and replaces it with cool air from below.
All Images, Credit: "Monster", CoolEnjoy.net Forums
From the 3D prototype, it looks like two passively-cooled discrete GPUs are intended to fit just above the elbow in the chimney. Even from the rendering, it is clear that quite a lot of thought and effort has gone into this project. I cannot tell how they intend to access PCIe slots from up there, be it a larger motherboard or an extension adapter, but options probably exist.
Initial testing with a Core i5-4440 (stock frequencies) show around 65 deg C at full CPU load. This should be in line with a typical air-based cooler.
Either way, this is the most impressive "SuperPipe" cooler that I have seen.
Your move, MSI.
bequiet! lives up to their name with the Dark Rock Pro 3
Subject: Cases and Cooling | February 12, 2014 - 03:50 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: heatsink, Dark Rock Pro 3, bequiet!
At 150x137x163mm (6x5.4x6.4") in size and 1197g the Dark Rock Pro 3 is a hefty chunk of copper and aluminium. The extra size does allow for the use of a 135mm fan on the interior with the more common 120m variety on the side which helps make this cooler very quiet even at full load. The performance was decent but a bit of a let down considering [H]ard|OCP saw better performance from its predecessor, the Dark Rock Pro 2. Still, if it is quiet performance you need then this is certainly a cooler worth consideration.
"There is no doubt that when it comes to CPU air cooling, marketing terms like "category leader" and "virtually inaudible" will get your attention. be quiet!'s Dark Rock Pro 3 air cooler touts cooling up to 250 watts, which is stout at best in the world of air cooling. Does the Darck Rock Pro 3 perform and bring with it a cooling value."

The Mini ITX Surge Continues
For years now the enthusiast crowd has been clamoring for Corsair to bring its case building prowess down to the Mini ITX market and with the Obsidian 250D it has done just that. By combining the design features that have make Corsair's units so popular with the aesthetic touches of the most recent Obsidian lineup, the 250D is an interesting and combination of size and performance.
The Corsair 250D is unlike most other Mini ITX designs out today in that it supports a lot of full size components. You'll be able to use a standard ATX power supply, many self contained water coolers, full size graphics card and won't have to suffer through the most painful cable routing aspects of other small form factor cases.

Koolance has effectively transformed itself from a minor player in the cooling community to a powerhouse at the forefront of high performance liquid cooling products. Koolance recently released the EXT-440CU Liquid Cooling System, an apparatus integrating the cooling system's reservoir, pump, and radiator into an aluminum assembly. In addition to the EXT-440CU unit, Koolance provided us with their CPU-380I CPU water block for testing as a complete kit. We tested the Koolance kit in conjunction with other all-in-one and air coolers to see how well the Koolance kit stacks up. The EXT-440CU Liquid Cooling System retails at an MSRP of $274.99 with the CPU-380I water block available for a $74.99 MSRP. While not the cheapest solution, the adage "You get what you pay for" fits the bill for this Koolance kit.

Introduction and Features
NZXT is introducing the H440 Mid-Tower case in their H Series line. The new H440 chassis will be available in two different color schemes; white with black accents and black with red accents. Both versions exhibit clean lines and a sleek design. Gone are the 5.25" optical drive bays and in their place you get three 120mm intake fans. In addition to providing excellent case cooling with four included fans the H440 is also very water-cooling friendly with support for water-cooling radiators on the top, front and rear of the case. The left side panel features a large acrylic window to showcase the motherboard area and the H440 can support up to eight internal 3.5"/2.5" HDDs/SSDs: 6+2.
NZXT H440 Mid-Tower Chassis
The lower section of the H440 case, which houses the power supply, is shrouded from view and provides a lot of room for cable management. The color accented shroud features a lighted NZXT logo and there are two LEDs built into the back panel to provide light when making connections; very nice.
The NZXT H440 Mid-Tower case comes with four NZXT FN V2 fans preinstalled: (3) 120mm intake fans in the front and (1) 140mm exhaust fan on the back. Dust filters are provided for the three front intake fans and also on the bottom of the case for the PSU intake fan. And up to three more 120mm fans (or two 140mm fans) can be added to the top panel if desired.
Here is what NZXT has to say about the H440 Mid-Tower case:
"The new H440 features a doorless, ODD-free front panel made entirely of steel while a large, full-view window reveals an interior specially engineered to make any build seamless and beautiful.

Silverstone proves you don't need size to have power
Subject: Cases and Cooling | February 4, 2014 - 04:57 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Silverstone, strider gold s, 850W
SilverStone's Strider series has been with us for quite a while and tends to be among the better PSUs around. The new Strider Gold S provides 850W of power, with up to 70A on the 12V and four 6+2 PCIe power connectors for multiple GPUs. All of that power comes in a package a mere 150x86x150 mm, barely enough to fit the 120mm fan. [H]ard|OCP strapped it to their torture devices and saw that it could outperform even some of its close relatives in the Strider family. Not only does it get a pass, it picks up a Silver Award on its way.
"Good things come in small packages and SilverStone continues its Gold S series with smaller fully modular footprints at the 850 watt power level. SilverStone claims Gold level efficiency, tight voltage regulation, a single rail design, low fan noise, and plenty of PCIe outlets. All the things that SilverStone is famous for. "

In Win's fancy new glass and aluminium case
Subject: Cases and Cooling | January 28, 2014 - 04:10 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: in win, 904 Premium
Most of the reviews below the fold are focusing on mATX cases but not In Win, they are large and proud of their new 904 Premium enclosure. Standing 28"H x 14"L x 27.5"W and made of rolled aluminium with a tempered glass side panel this case is not one to hide under a desk. From hotswappable bays to magnetic filters for the fans this is a very high end case and can handle watercooling setups for the serious enthusiast. [H]ard|OCP loved everything about this case but warn you it does come at a premium, the MSRP is $280.

Royce Reed has no plans to leave "Basketball Wives," but she is not at all worried about branching out on her own.
Royce was noticeably absent from more than a few episodes of "Basketball Wives" this season. While that would leave some reality stars shook, the author, dancer and wannabe actor isn't hesitant about branching out on her own.
"I don't need this show to survive. I don't need to be friends with Shaunie in order to survive. She doesn't own the air. In terms of everything that Royce is doing, I can hold my own," Royce told VH1.
In addition to her "College Girls" novel series, she's also working on a stage play and fitness video.
However, Royce really wants to act.
"I'm an actress first," said Royce. "After this show is done I'm gonna either have a show of my own, or you're definitely gonna see me in lights, but my major was theater arts and I'm very good at it. Not to toot my own horn, but toot toot!" she said.
Her desire to act is part of what caused friction with her co-star, Jennifer Williams. When Jen's soon-to-be ex-husband, Eric Williams, approached Royce with an opportunity to star in a film, Royce was a little too eager for Jen's liking. Jen would have preferred for Royce to check with her first before agreeing to discuss the role with Eric.
Unfortunately, for Royce, she hasn't heard much from Eric about the film lately.
"I haven't received a script yet," said Royce, who is still open to doing the part. "I'll read it and if it's a good look then I'll do it, if not… keep it moving," she said.
Although Royce has all these plans and projects outside of "Basketball Wives," she isn't walking away from the show that put her on the map.
"I'm gonna ride it until the wheels fall off for me, but I know that this show isn't the end of me. I have a lot going on for myself, so I can hold my own."

Howell Township Debt Repayment Levy Increase Proposal (November 2012)
A Howell Township Debt Repayment Levy Increase proposal is on the November 6, 2012 election ballot in Livingston County, which is in Michigan where it was defeated.
This measure proposed to authorize the Township of Howell to increase property taxes by up to 3.5 mills ($3.5 per $1,000 of assessed valuation) for 2 years in order to provide funds to reduce Township debt from sanitary sewer and water projects. The estimated first year revenue from this tax increase was $1,000,048.[1]

These insects thirst for tears
Scientists are curious about 'tear-sucking,' an unusual and little-studied bug behavior
By Janet Raloff, 17:53 PM May 1, 2014
Much of early science consisted of people observing the world around them — and then trying to puzzle out why things happen the way they do. That approach, common thousands of years ago, still goes on in some areas of biology today. And here's one example: Biologists have lately begun noticing — and wondering why — some insects have a thirst for the tears of big animals, including people.
Carlos de la Rosa is an aquatic ecologist and director of the La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica, w...

Ratings & Reviews
Kathy was amazing during the home buying process for us. She is full of energy and gives her honest opinion on the properties. I truly feel that Kathy was a perfect fit for us, I would recommend her for anyone who needs an agent.
We were fortunate to have Kathy list and sell several properties for us. She listed and sold our personal home and some rental properties. She went the extra mile and even "staged" one of those rentals. She is an agressive salesperson and very knowledgeable in the three service areas of Southwest Orange county. In the future, we plan to use Kathy as our listing agent for additional rentals which we hope to sell in the next few years. More Less

Yahoo may be losing some appeal on Wall Street now that U.S. investors can buy directly into Alibaba.
The Japan-based operator of popular mobile messaging app Line said Monday it has decided not to go ahead with an initial public offering in Japan or overseas this year.

Alibaba made its long-awaited Wall Street debut Friday on the heels of a record stock offering that opens the door to global expansion for the Chinese online retail giant.

New surface coatings give insects the slip
September 27, 2013
Not having air conditioning in my house, here's something I didn't know: the inner surfaces of air conditioner ventilation pipes are often covered in cockroaches. Nice. In order to keep the roaches out of those pipes – along with keeping other insects out of other places – scientists from Germany's University of Freiburg have developed new bio-inspired surface coatings that even sticky-footed bugs can't cling to.

Shape-changing lens blends human and insect vision
September 18, 2013
One example of biomimicry that keeps popping up on the pages of Gizmag is the use of insect eyes as a model for innovative new optical devices. It seems that the potential for development in this area is far from exhausted with the announcement of another bug-inspired lens breakthrough from Ohio State University. This experimental lens developed by associate professor of biomedical engineering and ophthalmology, Yi Zhao, combines the wide angle properties of insect vision with the depth-of-field capabilities of a human eye.

Artificial muscles could allow robots to lift 80 times their own weight
By David Szondy
September 10, 2013
It's a classic science fiction scene: an android is injured and its human-like exterior is laid bare to reveal the metallic gears and cables of its true mechanical nature. The future is, unsurprisingly, not likely to match this scenario as our ability to mimic biology with innovations like artificial muscles improves. The latest breakthrough in this field comes from the National University of Singapore's Faculty of Engineering where researchers have developed a "robotic" muscle that extends like real muscle tissue to five times its original length, has the potential to lift 80 times its own weight and holds out the promise of smaller, stronger robots capable of more refined movements.

Oil spill-absorbing material inspired by cactus needles
August 8, 2013
When an oil spill occurs at sea, there are already a number of possible options for gathering the oil that floats in a layer on the water's surface. Some of the oil also forms into tiny suspended droplets, however, which have proven much more difficult to gather. Now, Chinese scientists have developed what could be a solution – and it owes a debt to the humble cactus needle. Read More
Researchers at the University of Toronto say they can improve the energy of efficiency buildings by fitting window panes with tiny channels of water.

Nature has been the source of inspiration for a variety of different forms of robotic locomotion. Yet another example is the STAR, a 3D-printed robot modeled after an insect's ability to squeeze into even the tiniest spaces.

With some help from a robotic fish, scientists have discovered that zebrafish are much like humans in at least one way – they get reckless when they get drunk. OK, "drunk" might not be technically accurate, but when exposed to alcohol, the fish show no fear of a robotic version of one of their natural predators, the Indian leaf fish. When they're "sober," they avoid the thing like crazy. The researchers believe that the experiments indicate a promising future for robots in behavioral studies. Read More
It's summertime in the Northern Hemisphere, and that means the bugs are out – specifically, ticks.

Biker's death reveals need for toxicology tests
Last fall's death of cyclist Kevser Ermin on Highway 314 is apparently a closed case, but News Editor Jonathan Scott still has questions about the incident. Scott writes about some of those questions as well as the hope that laws will be changed about mandatory toxicology testing for those involved in all motor vehicle wrecks that result in death or serious injury.

'Cheesy grits' have more substance than GOP agenda

Hi all, I would value your comments and views on the various current investment options. I have just had a 3yr fixed bond @ 3.3% come to the end of its term. Seems to be nothing like that available anymore. I have my full ISA allowance for myself and wife. Not looking to get rich quick just a reasonable return so am now considering the Stock Market but not something I am familiar with so any guidance would be helpful. Thanks.

You should seek an independent financial advisor. Any other advice will come from unqualified people and could be illegal as only people and companies authorised by the FSA are allowed to provide advice on financial products.

Looking at this a few weeks ago (and a lot can change in that time), if you're investing more than a ~£1200 then your options are pretty limited for good rates, unless you are prepared to manage the investment yourself (only you will know if you are, which by the sounds of things you are heading that way.).
At the moment, for short to mid term managed investments, around 2 - 2.5% is a fair target figure. For stock markets, it's a tough one to predict, but what I will say is this:
If you manage it yourself then try and invest in areas that you have a personal or professional interest in
Be aware of trading fees. They can rack up pretty quickly if you are doing smaller trades
The returns on self managed funds can be great - or they can be a total loss. Be careful.
Create a strategy for your investments (when and what to buy, and when to sell). Stick with your strategy unless you have a very good reason to change.
I make around 12% per year on my self managed fund. It's a relatively complex set-up and has a lot of risk mitigation built in, meaning that returns are not as high as they could be (n the other hand of course, a net loss of cash over 12 months has never happened over the 3 years I've been doing it)

I am trying to find a hidden snag in the Santander 123 bank account where they offer 3% interest on a current account subject to a few conditions.
The government , from time to time, issue bonds with a 1% over inflation return, but there is no offer at the moment.
It is very difficult to safely get more than inflation (about 3%) after tax - even ISA's are poor.
As OTT_B says, the only way to get better than inflation is to look at bonds, stocks property or shares, and then there are downside risks. Long term a managed fund, or even a tracker fund should beat inflation, but there are risks as the stock market has risen quite a lot recently. NEVER invest in a single place or company - just remember the councils who put a lot into Icelandic institutions.

I have made, and lost, money on the Stock Market but I am now making reasonable returns. If you have your wits about you and read the financial columns I am not sure that you need an Advisor if the investment is not too big. If you cannot afford to lose any put the cash in a box under your bed. Active trading is not for inexperienced investors.
There are some shares, utilities, food, fuel and the like that produce a steady income. People will always use electricity and petrol and need food and water.
There is one company which has done me proud but all I can say is always keep on the right side of the Law particularly if you are a Deb.

Hi, we meet again "I am trying to find a hidden snag in the Santander 123 bank account where they offer 3% interest on a current account"
I have a Santander 123 account and the only snags I can see is that it only pays 3% up to a max of £20,000 and you must pay in at least £500.00 per month from a non Santander account.

Thanks all, interesting suggestions so far. I am concerned about trading fees and the best way to go about this on a small time basis. I don't know where to go to buy or sell. No point in making a profit if is is taken in fees, even less if I make a loss.

There are a lot of online trading outfits - Google is your friend. Some give access to markets and trade types that others don't, as well as things like mobile trading platforms. It depends what you are interested in as to which you go with. Some you may have heard of (run by very big name banks), others you may not have. In any case, research any company that you think of using.
Some companies also offer a limited time period of reduced trading fees (for example the first month only carries a £1 trading fee).
Please also be aware, that if you are not trading in share ISAs, then profits are taxable - you have to pay this, usually through self assessment at the end of the year.

I'm afraid we have a very strict rule about questions on financial investments. We don't encourage them.
This isn't because we're a bunch of wet blankets, it's because nobody here is qualified to offer advice on investments in a web forum.
You've posted your thread now, and several people have responded, so I'm not going to spoil the fun at this stage. Just remember that you should consult an independent financial adviser before making any investment decisions, and that we accept no liability for the consequences of you acting on anything that anyone says here.

"Do you remember Horace Batchelor?"
Maybe I was born with a sceptic gene but I always thought that, if his system was so good, he should use it to make his fortune and retire instead of trying to get other people to buy it from him.
My point is that I'm wary of the various financial 'gurus' who make their money running websites telling people how to make money rather than just applying their own advice.

The White House to send Susan Rice, Colin Powell, others to South Sudan's independence celebration
- By Robert ZeligerRobert Zeliger is News Editor of Foreign Policy.
The White House announced today that U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice will lead the country's delegation to South Sudan on July 9 to attend a ceremony marking the country's Declaration of Independence. She will be joined by former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
Other members of the delegation include Rep. Donald Payne (D- N.J.), the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, and Human Rights; Johnnie Carson, assistant secretary of State for African Affairs; Princeton Lyman, the U.S. special envoy to Sudan; Brooke Anderson, deputy national security advisor; Gen. Carter Ham, commander of the U.S. Africa Command; Donald Steinberg, deputy administrator for USAID; Barrie Walkley, the consul general in Juba; and Ken Hackett, the president of Catholic Relief Services.
Notably absent from the delegation: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She was initially scheduled to make the trip, but the Washington Post reported last month that security concerns might prevent her from doing so.
Franklin Graham, an evangelical leader, will also be in attendance. He was supposed to travel with Sarah Palin, but Palin also canceled her plans to attend due to what she said were "scheduling problems."
Southerners backed independence in a January referendum — though since then clashes along the border with the north have led to growing fears that violence could escalate. Tensions between north and south Sudan are still high over the issues of oil revenue sharing and what's to become of Abyei, a disputed region on the border.
And today the Harvard-based Satellite Sentinel Project released images taken July 4 showing what appears to be an 80-car convoy of Sudanese military forces traveling through the disputed border region of Southern Kordofan. 73,000 people have fled fighting there since June.
The U.N. Security Council will meet July 13 to discuss admitting South Sudan to the international body, making it the first state since Montenegro in 2006 to become a U.N. member.

Bill Morgan has been in business for a dozen years, but he's never seen demand like this: Customers are flocking to his showroom to purchase electric, street-legal golf cars -- golf carts that can be driven on public roadways as well as golf courses.
"The economy is not good for golf right now," Morgan, the owner of Action Golf Cars in Ormond Beach, Fla., said. But the golf cars are "selling so fast, it's amazing."
It's all thanks, he said, to the federal government. The bailout bill that last year helped keep the U.S. banking system afloat also contained lesser-known provisions to benefit other industries, including the electric car business.
Under the Bush administration's Emergency Economic Stabilization Act, buying a plug-in electric motor vehicle can make a consumer eligible for a tax credit of at least $2,500 plus additional cash depending on a car's battery capacity. The $787 billion stimulus package signed by President Obama in Feburary contained similar provisions.
In April, the Internal Revenue Service confirmed that "neighborhood electric vehicles" or NEVs -- a common term for electric-powered golf cars and other low-speed vehicles allowed on public roadways -- bought in 2009 qualified for the tax credit. (The IRS indicated that traditional golf carts used mainly on golf courses -- as opposed to street-legal vehicles -- aren't eligible for the credit. It said in its April statement that "vehicles manufactured primarily for off-road use, such as for use on a golf course, do not qualify.")
Morgan said the battery capacity on 12 cars he sells qualifies them for tax credits of $5,335 each.
In recent months, he and golf car dealers across the country have been advertising the tax credit as an incentive to get buyers in the door -- and it's working, they say.
Unlike traditional golf carts, golf cars that are street-legal must include safety features such as headlights, seat belts, parking brakes and driver's side mirrors, according to federal mandates. They are allowed to reach maximum speeds of 25 miles per hour and individual states decide which roadways the cars may travel on.
Morgan said he's sold 40 cars priced between $6,495 and $10,600 in the last six weeks -- more than $260,000 in sales, which he said is a record for his company. Morgan's supplier, South Carolina-based JH Global Services, Inc., told ABCNews.com that it's seen spikes in sales too.
"A month of sales now is almost equal to a couple of quarters in the past," JH Global CEO Jane Zhang said.
The wheels were in motion for the NEV tax credit long before the now-famous Cash for Clunkers program -- last summer's staggeringly popular government subsidy program for car trade-ins -- became law, but buzz over the tax credit has appeared to only pick up speed in the last two months, after NEV manufacturers received certifications from the IRS that particular models did, in fact, qualify for the credit.
The credit is benefitting more than just golf cart retailers. It applies to other low-speed vehicles, including those sold by Susan Sistare of Star Electric Cars in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Sistare said she's seen calls from prospective customers triple since she started advertising the tax credit.

LIMA — Looking for inspiration? Head into ArtSpace/Lima.
"ArtSpace/Pops 2013: A Fine Craft Invitational" continues through Sept. 14 in the Ellen Nelson Gallery, featuring works by 22 artists based in Ohio.
The show is a study of art versus craft — and finds middle ground in fine craft. This is not your average art festival fare, but it offers fun and whimsy nonetheless. One wall is occupied by a large-scale paper work that features origami cranes that are waist-high. Other works showcase fine woodworking or pottery skills.
Bill Sullivan, operations manager at ArtSpace/Lima, explained that three years ago he wanted to do an art sale but received no response from the arts community. Undeterred, he picked up the phone and invited artists to participate — and this show was born.
"And it's a fun show," he said. "It happened almost by accident."
The exhibition features non-traditional work in wood, metal, clay, paper, fabric and jewelry. It's perhaps more easily defined by what it is not: There are no paintings or photographs. Almost all the works in the exhibit are for sale.
"I love this show. I'm so glad that fate decided it would work out this way," Sullivan said.

Today's guests:
Traditionally, the bulk of the Defense Department's budget has been split roughly evenly between the three military departments, with the Army, the Air Force and the Navy Department each staking out their "fair share" of the pie. But in a new op-ed, two members of the House Armed Services Committee, Reps. Randy Forbes (R-Va.) and Rick Larsen (D-Wash.), argue that the practice never made much sense. And with budget's getting tighter, it's time to start budgeting based on strategy rather than on simple division. Forbes joins In Depth with his idea for a "fair share" defense strategy.
Will DoD's 2014 sequestration plan jolt Congress into action? (related story)
This week, Defense secretary Chuck Hagel sent Congress a contingency plan for sequestration , in case the cuts remain in place through fiscal 2014. The plan came in response to a request from the Senate Armed Services Committee, which wanted more detail than DoD wound up providing. The panel had asked for specific areas in which the Pentagon would recommend the more than $50 billion in cuts be applied. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), a member of the Armed Services Committee, joins In Depth to discuss his take on Hagel's letter.
Will DoD's 2014 sequestration plan jolt Congress into action? (related story)
Pacific Command
Cancelled training exercises and furloughs aren't the only ways the Defense Department is feeling sequestration. Military readiness as a whole is taking a hit with reduced flying hours and placing a financial strain on our allies, too. Adm. Samuel Locklear, the commander of Pacific Command, spoke before the Pentagon press corps today. He said he joined a "hollow" Navy 40 years ago, which has since turned into a highly productive force. But sequestration is threatening to undo that progress, he said.
USNI News
President Obama recently nominated retired Vice Adm. Dennis McGinn to be the Navy's new secretary for energy, installations and the environment. The energy chief would lead the Navy's environmental projects and maintain their naval installations. McGinn supported new biofuel and other renewable resources in the past. But the Navy has recently come under fire for using experimental and expensive jet biofuel instead of conventional fuel. Sam LaGrone, the editor of USNI News, joins in Depth, to discuss the Navy's new energy chief and the role of biofuels in the service.

If you go with the flow, sometimes things will turn out better than you could have imagined," says Marguerite Barnett, MD, founder and owner of Mandala Med-Spa and Yoga Shala in Sarasota, Florida. This laid-back philosophy would be easy to dismiss if you didn't know Barnett has a history of hard work and success under her belt.
As both a Harvard-educated general surgeon and cosmetic surgeon, as well as an 11-year Army veteran, Barnett's accomplishments are widespread, but that doesn't stop her from having a peaceful outlook on the world and her role in it. "We are responsible for the world we have and if you coast along and don't try to improve it, you're part of the problem," she says, and Barnett incorporates this ethical mentality into everything she touches.
Having signed on for a stint in the Army to pay for her Harvard education, Barnett began her medical career as a general surgeon. "I came from a family of doctors, and I love everything about medicine. I went into general surgery because I could do the most stuff," she says. During her time in the military, she was sent to several out-of-the-way countries, so she decided focusing on a subspecialty might allow her to stay closer to more populated regions, which was what she preferred. "I chose plastic surgery because of the wide variety of procedures I could do: cancer reconstruction, cosmetic surgery and correcting birth defects. Once I finished my schooling, the Army immediately sent me to Honduras, so I got out of the military," laughs Barnett.

Whoopi Goldberg to Appear on Broadway
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK – Whoopi Goldberg is going back to Broadway.
Goldberg, a co-host on the ABC's "The View," announced on the air Monday that she will appear in the Tony-nominated roller-skating musical "Xanadu" as one of the show's evil sisters, Caliope.
Goldberg, 52, has previously been on Broadway with her own one- woman show as well as in revivals of "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" and "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom."
She begins her six-week "Xanadu" run on July 29, taking over for actress Jackie Hoffman, who will return to the production on Sept. 9, said Karl Nilsson, spokesman for "The View."
The show – an unexpected critical favorite – was loosely adapted from the cult 1980s film starring Olivia Newton-John. It also features Kerry Butler, Cheyenne Jackson and Tony Roberts.

COLUMBUS, Ohio An interim analysis of a phase Ib/II clinical trial indicates that a novel experimental agent for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is highly active and well tolerated in patients who have relapsed and are resistant to other therapy. The agent, called PCI-32765, is the first drug designed to target Bruton's tyrosine kinase, a protein essential for CLL-cell survival and proliferation. CLL is the most common form of leukemia, with about 15,000 new cases annually in the U.S. About 4,400 Americans die of the disease each year.
Study co-leader Dr. John C. Byrd, director of the division of hematology at Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC James) is available to discuss the findings that were presented today (12/13) at the 53rd Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology in San Diego.
Study co-leader Dr. Susan O'Brien of The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center reported the analysis, which involves 61 patients who have relapsed and whose cancer no longer responds to standard CLL therapy. Of these patients, 27 received a drug dose of 420 milligrams (mg) and 34 received a drug dose of 840 mg.
This study found that 70 percent of patients in the 420-mg group had either a complete or partial remission to treatment after 10 months of follow-up.
"These interim findings are truly exciting because they provide additional evidence that PCI-32765 is a highly active oral therapeutic that produces a high rate of durable remissions the remissions last months on end with acceptable toxicity in relapsed and refractory CLL," Byrd says. "These responses last for many months in part because patients are willing to remain on the drug since the side effects are very tolerable," he notes.
Complete remission means there is no detectable CLL anywhere in the body; partial remission means that the individual's disease volume has decr
