10 Awesome Justice Jack-o'-Lanterns
We searched far and wide for the best justice jack-o-lanterns. Here's our ten of our favorites.
We searched far and wide for the best justice jack-o-lanterns. Here's our ten of our favorites.
On New Year's Eve I wrote "The Top 10 things I'm thankful for in 2012" on my Facebook page. Number four was "Clarity of call and message." A friend asked in a comment below the post: "How in your own life has this played out? I'm at a crossroads here and It's difficult for me to discern this right now … Feel like I'm just drifting."
Many of the people sitting in pews across America understand what my friend is going through. "Drifting," that's how he put it. In fact, I think it's a question many people are wrestling with in their daily lives. There are so many issues out there. There are so many hills to die on. There is such deep division in our politics and in the church. Wading through the sound bites gets tiring. How can one make sense of it all? It's tempting to just give up and disengage like the many Christians did in the mid-20th century.
But we cannot.

CHICAGO -- Marty Reasoner's stay with the Chicago Blackhawks didn't even last a month as the veteran center was traded to the Florida Panthers for center Jeff Taffe on Thursday.
The 29-year-old Jaffe had a goal and an assist in 21 games with the Panthers last season. He has 21 goals and 23 assists over parts of seven seasons with the Phoenix Coyotes (2002-04, 2005, 2006-07), New York Rangers (2005), Pittsburgh Penguins (2007-09) and Florida (2009-10).
Reasoner, 33, was acquired by the Blackhawks as part of the trade that sent Dustin Byfuglien, Brent Sopel and Ben Eager to the Atlanta Thrashers on June 24.
Reasoner was slated to earn $1.2 million in 2010-11, according to the players' union. He leaves without playing a game for Chicago.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Retired Army General Otto Pérez Molina (left) won Sunday's runoff presidential election in Guatemala, seizing on voters' concerns about growing insecurity in the Central American nation. Pérez led with more than 53 percent of the vote, Guatemala's election authority said. His opponent, businessman Manuel Baldizón, garnered 46 percent of the vote. Both candidates had promised to tackle growing insecurity and the presence of Mexican drug gangs in the country, an area of special concern to the Central American nation, due to its prominence as a key transit point for drugs from South America to the United States.
War on Drugs Grows FAST AbroadWritten by Michael Tennant
Government programs often begin with limited, easily identifiable purposes, then grow over time to become expensive, wasteful, and even dangerous monstrosities. Such is the case with the federal War on Drugs, which began with little fanfare under a modest 1914 anti-narcotics law and has since grown to enormous proportions, eviscerating the Bill of Rights and entangling the United States in countries all around the globe in a futile effort to eradicate the supplies of highly sought-after commodities.
Recognizing Socialism's Failure, Cuba's Castro Revives Market in Private PropertyWritten by Michael Tennant
When it comes to private property, wrote economist Ludwig von Mises, it is a simple "either-or" proposition: "either private ownership of the means of production, or hunger and misery for everyone." In 1959, Fidel Castro essentially abolished private property in Cuba, and the result has been exactly as Mises predicted: a declining standard of living and shortages of basic necessities such as food, building materials, and housing.
According to the United Nations, the earth's population will reach seven billion by October 31. For the world body, however, that is not something to celebrate. In fact, the UN Population Fund is focused on ways to decrease the world's population, and has selected October 31, "7 Billion Day," as a day to raise awareness about "sustainable development."
High-ranking officials across Mexico including the Attorney General are reportedly demanding answers from the U.S. government about its secret program that sent high-powered weaponry across the border to drug cartels, saying the Obama administration's explanations so far are inadequate. The Mexican public is outraged as well.

Congrats to both of you!
Could always name a boy after Audie Murphey.
Congrats to the both of you! Back when having a boy was a possibility I had picked out Logan Xavier, we were pleasantly surprised with a beautiful baby girl so we chose a different name. Yes I are a comic book fan. Since the possibility of me having another child is very very very low, I'll release this name combo.
Congrats guys! Rhome is here right now, and he suggests Otis. Of course, that's his dog's name. My grandson's name is BOB, and Bug Out Bag isn't bad; I call him Bug. Being a John Wayne fan, I vote for Wayne or Duke!
Congrats to both of you!
Now you'll have a complete fire team! Which one gets to be the grenadier?
Semper Fi.
That's wonderful news. God's richest blessings to you and your family !
Happy for you both.
Congratulations to you both! :35:
Thanks all! :redface:
We struggled with naming our "surprise" (a real shocker at 40, after 15 years of unsuccessful surgeries and fertility treatments). My Mom suggested, "Well, try to think of a name that is somehow related to the conception, like the name of the place you may have been or gone to or something" and I replied, "I'm not naming my kid Lunesta." She said, "What did that have to do with it?" and I replied, "She wanted to go to sleep...I didn't...everyone was happy...now we're picking out names..." She totally failed to see the humor.
Lime and JD, if you two can make it happen, I can tell you that having both of their birthdays on the same day will simplify your lives greatly!
And as far as names, I will suggest Max. It's a great name and one my wife and I are partial to. And, may I suggest the middle name as either "Danger" or "Trouble". That way, the child could go through life saying "Danger is my middle name!" and have it not be a cliche.:danceban:
Congratulations and best wishes for a healthy, happy baby!
Congrats! :danceban:
I was around the Forum when Lima was expecting your first. :smile:

AbstractABSTRACT: This project utilizes existing SBIR technologies developed by RJ Lee Group (RJLG) for AFRL and AFMC that were expanded to provide a Big Data prototype capability at Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC). This project will enhance and extend the Test Data Aggregation and Analytical System (TDAAS) version 1 prototype within Technology Readiness Level 6 (TRL6 - system/subsystem model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment) providing AEDC an operational prototype version 2 TDAAS system. This project addresses AEDC"s need for data integration and knowledge discovery of Department of Defense (DoD) weapons system engine and flight test data at AEDC. TDAAS will provide test personnel and facility engineers with improved searching and data correlation capability to better identify and discover knowledge about turbine engine propulsion and flight testing (performance or aerodynamics assessment) and anomaly detection (test article or infrastructure). From this data, engine and flight stakeholders will be able to make assessments related to specific component behavior within the systems and comparisons of the data with other system tests for which records exist. BENEFIT: The expected benefits include accelerating and improving timeliness and thoroughness of test and evaluation outcomes at AEDC. The ability to quickly and efficiently provide insightful analysis at all stages of an engine and flight acquisition program will reduce risk while eliminating waste and unnecessary costs (re-engineering). This will contribute to the USAF and DoD"s longer-term goal to generate greater efficiencies and capabilities. While TDAAS will first be deployed for engine and flight test data, the capabilities themselves are not envisioned to be system or platform specific. The solution envisioned beyond this transition could thus be adapted to address data integration and knowledge discovery in other DoD or RDT & E applications.

India's Mineral Wealth and Political Future
DISCUSSIONS of the future of India usually proceed in political and social terms and often in a vein of prejudice and recrimination. In the course of them it sometimes happens that observers lose sight of fundamental economic realities which are most important for any long-term solution of Indian problems. These material factors are less controversial and deserve far more consideration than they customarily receive. One of them -- the presence under the soil of India of rich mineral deposits which in this industrial age are a primary source of national power and, even more significant, of social well-being -- should be taken into account by all who wish their opinions on the question of India's political future to be soundly based.
India's mineral deposits will determine in considerable measure her place in the world; and the way in which that wealth is distributed will affect the relationship not only of each part of the country to the other parts but also of the country as a whole to the world outside. Moreover, it seems to have been demonstrated by history that any general rise in a country's standard of living affects favorably the relations between the various peoples inhabiting its component parts. As they become better fed and better housed they also become better educated, better informed and more understanding and more tolerant towards each other in spite of racial or religious or other cleavages.
Probably almost every literate person has an opinion on the question of Indian independence. No

Good support system from your professors, advisors.
they have a great variety of major, minors, pre-professional, and graduate programs.
I do plan to have an internship in a few year. I know it will help me learn a lot and also get my name out as a designer.
The program's good, the professors are interested in helping the students, and the students are cool. On the downside, the workload is really horrible.
My undergraduate programs don't have admission criteria; if you are taking the classes and sign up for a physics major, then you're in.

Where do I start with this below standard over priced product. To start with it arrived in a cardboard box with out any packing material of any type. So because of this the paint was scuffed of on a lots of places. Should have returned it then but decided I could live with that. Next went to put the tires on and the brackets were not welded on properly. Should have returned it then. But decided I could make it work. After a little work finally got wheels to mount. Tires flat no big deal aired them up and thought all was good. Next day both tires flat thought maybe valve core was loose checked them and air back up. Guess what next day both tires flat. Should have returned it then but decided that I would just check tubes. Both tubes had holes because liner did not cover up end of spokes. Bought new tubes. So now have too much time and extra money invested to returned. Final Thought Stay Away From This Below Standard Over Priced Product!!!!
My son was looking for a "trailer" for his adult three-wheel bicycle. This was perfect. We did have to go to the hardware store and have them bend a pipe to fit under the back wheels (they did it free of charge), but it's been perfect for him. We just put the hitch on the new pipe and off he went with all of his lawn equipment in tow!
We have an RV and love to camp. When we take the boat we don't have a car to get supplies. This is the perfect solution. My husband can put this on his new Trek bike and go for ice or bread or firewood. The size is perfect for most coolers and it is constructed very well. It is NOT cheaply made. I would have thought the price would have been better at $150 but the $199 was worth it. As soon as we got it we put it together and there was a catch missing on one wheel so we ordered another and took the first one back. The second was perfect. He has already put it on the bike and gone for a ride. Very manageable. Can't wait for the lake!
Easy to set up right out of box. Small payload. Arm needs to reach higher so the trailer doesn't lean back when attached to axle. Made to fit kids bike. Made well but could be much better with just a little tweak. Probably worth $50-$60. Not $150 plus. I will have to replace the wheels for it to ride level.
Well, I got what I paid for.
Barely acceptable even though, upon recieving box was damaged, it was already previously opened, and there were no paperwork whatsoever, the unit was built out of spec so the parts fit tightly, fortunately i have repair experience...
So if you want better experience, go to a shop.

Heidi Country, With French Food
Published: June 20, 1999
(Page 3 of 3)
Soaring past the spectacular Bossons glacier as we ascended, we hit the fog bank, as promised. Miraculously, though, near the top of the Aiguille, we punched through the fog to the brilliant sun above. After ascending to the terrace, we had a startling panorama of Mont Blanc and the surrounding Alps rising from pillowy mist.
On our last day in Megeve we visited L'Alpage du Pre Rosset, a chalet renovated from a shepherd's barn high on Rochebrune, where the Sibuets invite the guests from their five hotels to mingle and meet for lunch. When we arrived, the great silence of the mountains was broken only by the distant chime of cowbells and a burr of a breeze. Then some 46 of us sat for a rollicking alfresco meal at a long communal table under the Alpine sun.
Next day, we drove back to Paris for the grand reunion. Our celebratory toast in our room at Hotel Le Bristol was spontaneous, and heartfelt: we vowed not to wait 30 years to return, touched our glasses and said, ''Bonnes vacances!''
A picture-postcard village, plus high-altitude excursions
Getting There
Megeve itself can be done on a day trip, but a minimum of four days is advisable for those wishing to explore the town and its hiking trails, while using it as a base to visit Chamonix, Le Montenvers, the great Mer de Glace glacier, and the cable-car thrills of the neighboring Alps.
By car, Megeve is an hour from Geneva, two hours from Lyons and six hours from Paris (with no stops). It is also possible to take the TGV from Paris to Sallanches, which is seven miles from Megeve.
Although Megeve has 37,000 tourist beds, it is often tightly booked in August, during the annual vacations taken by what sometimes seems like the entire French population. But during June, July, September and early October the crowds are gone and, except during festivals, such as the week around July 14, there are hotel bargains.
The venerable, busy tourist office at the Maison des Freres on Rue Monseigneur Conseil is referral central for visitors. Its Web site is www.megeve.com; telephone (33-4) 220.127.116.11; fax (33-4) 50.93.03.09.
Megeve Reservation is a travel collective that books hotel, restaurant and excursion packages in two- to four-star hotels; apartments and weekly rentals are also available; (33-4) 126.96.36.199; fax (33-4) 126.96.36.199.
The Mountain Guide Office at 76 Rue Ambroise Martin offers dozens of individual and group mountain jaunts and individual or group courses in such activities as hiking, fishing, paragliding, mountain biking, rafting and climbing. Information: (33-4) 184.108.40.206; fax (33-4) 50.21.55.03; www.montblanconline.fr/pages/ megvguid.htm.
Where to Stay
Double rooms at Les Fermes de Marie, on Chemin de Riante Colline, cost $142 to $232 a person (based on six francs to the dollar), including breakfast and dinner. Six-day packages, including breakfast, dinner and one lunch in the charming Alpages chalet on Rochebrune, plus a one-hour treatment in the Ferme de Beaute (massage, mud baths, skin-toning poultices and herbal treatments by Anne Semonin, a Parisian skin-care expert), cost $1,167 to $1,267.
Telephone (33-4) 50.93.03.10; fax (33-4) 50.93.09.84. You can also refer to the hotel's Web site, www.c-h-m.com. GLENN COLLINS

In Tweetdeck I have two accounts; a default one and a secondary one. I have them both in separate columns.
However, when a person crops up in my non-default account column that I want to follow I can't seem to find a way to follow them from that account.
Hovering over the 'Follow' button brings up the tooltip saying 'From {@Account A}' but no way to switch to the other account.
Aside from opening up the link in my browser, signing into Twitter from my second account and then finding the user that way, can I do it directly from Tweetdeck?

Hello everyone,
Sorry for the long heading. After updating to WordPress 5.3.1 the 'add media' button from new posts doesnt work unless I deactivate the all-in-one event calendar from Timely (I tried all my plugins to find out). But I need this calendar for my site. Has anyone had this before and does anyone have any suggestions?
(by the way the upgrade has also stopped the link button from working in new posts too, but nothing seemed to work to fix this, even deactivating all plugins, any tips on this would be great).
Looking forward to your help!

1. The Schwarzschild radius (Rs) is the distance from the center of an object of mass M such that, if all the mass of the object were compressed within a sphere of radius Rs, the escape speed from the sphere surface would equal the speed of light. In useful units, Rs=[(M/MSun) x 3 km], where MSun=2e+33 g.
Calculate the Schwarzschild radius for the following objects (in km):
a. A tennis ball of mass Mtennis=60 g
b. A star of 10 solar masses, i.e. Mstar=2e+34 g
c. A galaxy of mass Mgal=2e+13 MSun

10 Great British Albums/Bands that are, in fact, "Too British" for American Tastes and are thus (Unjustly) Unpopular Stateside
- 1. Rings Around the World, Super Furry Animals
- 2. Different Class, Pulp
- 3. The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society, the Kinks
- 4. Sound Affects, The Jam
- 5. For Your Pleasure, Roxy Music

- 7. Ogden's Nut Gone Flake, Small Faces
- 8. Parklife, Blur
- 9. The Stone Roses (s/t)
- 10. The Specials (s/t)
- (You could easily substitute just about anyone of each artist's other albums into the list.)

Great list! Although I must say that the Stone Roses' debut is getting more and more popular over on these shores.
So we're only about 15 years too late on that one...
Great albums!
Shalom, y'all!

As a fan of For Your Pleasure, Parklife, The Stone Roses' self-titled album, and the Specials' self-titled album, I must say, it's America's loss.
Nice list. Some other albums that strike me as fitting here are Oasis's Definitely Maybe and (What's the Story) Morning Glory? They are so acclaimed in the UK but over here, Oasis is the topic of many bad jokes, though I think both those albums are pretty solid. Of course, you may not like Oasis enough to list them as "Great", so whatever.
- Login to post comments
Of the albums here I know (six of 'em), I say right on. Of the others, Pulp is the one I'd like to hear more of.
XTC is another great band that's only managed a cult following on our side of the world. How are they viewed over there?
- Login to post comments
Sadly XTC are as unappreciated in the UK as anywhere else.
Could happily include The The - Mind Bomb to this list

Although it looks like a very pretty rose pink with glitter in the pot, it actually swatches much paler than one would think. Because of that, I find myself only being able to use it as a base for other shadows to put on top, as the colour on its own doesn't look as good on my eyes as I had hoped. The formula is consistent with other MAC Paintpots I own, and I find it to be a little more on the opaque side than some of the others. I think it's definitely worth it if you like wearing paler shadows on their own, but I wouldn't repurchase it as there are cheaper alternatives if you're just looking for an eyeshadow base.

This is so pretty... a sheer pink with sparkles. I like to put it all over my lid and use Shale powder shadow in the crease. I have blue/green eyes. I've owned this shadow for several years and it's still soft and blendable and I love that it has sparkles instead of frost... HOWEVER... the tiny silver sparkles migrate onto my cheekbones. I try to accept it with a "Shine On" philosophy, but this may be highly objectionable to some.

This is ridiculously pretty! It swatches a bit chalky looking but actually on my eyelids its smooth and blends easily. Its got gold and pink iridescent glitter in but this doesn't make it look golden like lots of other eyeshadows with gold shimmer. It also doesn't look metallic just matte super pale pink with lots of fine glitteryness which doesn't fall all over my face. I think it looks especially nice with winged liner for daytime or evening although I love glitter anytime!

Loooove this! It transforms into a beautiful gold glitter on your eyelids, but it's subtle enough to be able to use it for everyday wear. I cannot explain how happy I am I found this! Recommended!

I bought this paint pot a fortnight ago but it has yet reached holy grail status for me! I love this wonderful pink golden color as a very natural looking highlighter under the eyebrow as well as a base. Really great stuff!

my experience with mac paint pots was like a roller coaster ride. prior to this purchase i owned painterly and bare study - fell in love with painterly right away, got bare study and was shocked at how badly it applied on my lids compared to painterly. Got Let's Skate on a whim because it swatched so beautifully on my hand and its texture was creamier than bare study - and it did not disappoint on my lids. It was such a gorgeous pink with gold glitter in it. I like to use it alone - perfect for spring and summer! be careful though if u apply shimmery eye shadow over it as it can get a little over the top with the glitters. but overall i love this paint pot so much more than bare study!!!

I love MAC paint pots, and after asking the girl working at the store what she was wearing on her eyes, she told me she had decided on a more natural look today and that she had used this. So I bought it thinking I could use it everyday. Well, I can use this everyday, however I find it very glittery. A lot more than I expected. I am not sure if it's just the color when it's applied or what. I like it, but I don't love it like I expected. It appears baby pink and when it is applied it seems to look almost white, and very glittery. I will try maybe mixing this with another color, or just buying a different color next time!

I bought this paint pot a few months ago and I must say that I was very surprised over how good it actually looks on. In the bottle it looks pink but when it comes on the eye it's very natural, almost white and ver sparkly :) which I like a lot haha ;)
I've been using this paint pot a lot with just a darker shade in the crease and I think it looks great! This pot is really a catch if you ask me! :)

I really wasn't too interested in anything from the Glitter & Ice collection besides this beautiful paint pot. Unfortunately, my sister bought it for me. I only say that because once I tried it, I fell in love and needed more!! Out of the three PPs in this collection, this is the most unique, a beautiful baby pink loaded with shimmer, perfect for the holidays! I checked out the other two in this collection, and though their formula was different and they didn't have as much shimmer, they just reminded me way too much of the Champale ones, which is why I couldn't justify buying them. If I didn't have 2 jars of Vintage Selection and Dangerous Cuvee, I would've bought all three PPs from this collection without giving it a second thought.

Who: Storm King president John Stern hosted artists, collectors, trustees and friendly supporters.
Why: As if an epic new installation by Virginia Overton (a 488-foot brass tube) and a colossal show of the work of Zhang Huan (six sculptures, including the 28-foot tall Three Legged Buddha) were not big enough draws, a farm-to-table dinner was served by Back Forty restaurateur Peter Hoffman under a perfectly dusky sky in di Suvero Fields.Follow Us:

Holeproof Explorer Socks: You never know where you'll end up
Writer Richard Williams and Art Director Ant Phillips created an idea based on the premise that when you wear Holeproof Explorer socks you just never know where you may end up. The resulting campaign follows the journey of an Aussie bloke, wearing only a loincloth and a pair of Explorer Socks, hanging out with a tribe of Kalahari Bushmen.

A bit short to establish the sense of this guy's involvement with the San, which leaves the punchline a bit floaty. Otherwise not bad at all. Quite funny.
"i think i'm in africa" Couldn't he have said kalahari or something? This generalization doesn't do much good for aussie no?
I've heard it's a fairly racist place.
A fairly harmless socks ad has led to some giant knob labelling all of Australia as racist. Cant some people just have a laugh and see it for what it is. For f#*ks sake.

Why would Walmart launch an insurance education service for the 140 million Americans who shop its stores each week? For one thing, because more than 60% of Americans have a tough time understanding their health insurance plan options, according to research from the Kaiser Family Foundation, and nearly 40% feel that they picked the wrong plan after enrolling.
The new Center for Healthcare Regulatory Insight within KPMG's Healthcare and Life Sciences Practice will be led by seasoned regulatory and policy veteran Larry Kocot.
As the country's healthcare system continues to move away from a fee-for-service structure, retail-based clinics are taking on added significance for the operators of these facilities and their patients.
A new and radically different concept for frontline health care emerged last year when Walmart unveiled its first Walmart Care Clinics in Texas, Georgia and South Carolina. If things go according to plan, patients and health plan payers across the United States can look forward to a cheaper and more affordable alternative to the family doctor for nearly all their primary care needs.

Making homemade cat treats or people treats do you think there a difference?
When you think about it, many of us treat our pets the same way we treat our children.
Right?…We make sure they get the proper health care, we give them a nice house to live in, we buy them toys to play with, and we try to feed them a nutritious diet.
Yet... what about the snacks and treats they eat?
Feeding our kitties homemade treats are fun, easy and inexpensive to make.
If you're a parent, we're sure you'd rather have your children eat snacks like fruit instead of potato chips…In other words,… you want your kids to eat healthy treats, not junk food.
Well, if that is so you are probably feeling the same way about your cat.
Commercial treats are convenient and your cat probably loves them, but she'll be better off if you give her healthy, homemade cat treats instead of the feline equivalent of junk food.
Making your own feline yummies might be a little more work than buying commercial treats, but you also get some…
Significant Advantages
Once you have the right ingredients and a good recipe or two, organic or all-natural, preservative-free homemade cat treats are ever-so-easy to make. Best of all, your cat will absolutely love these recipes for homemade cat treats!
Here are a couple of our favorite recipes for you to try.
Please make sure you buy human-grade ingredients, and stick with organic whenever you can. That way you'll know you're not giving your cat a bunch of chemicals instead of a healthy snack.
At gonaturalpet.com we love feeding our felines natural cat treats.
This first recipe for natural cat treats sounds good enough to tempt any human, much less any cat…
Cheese Treats au Naturel (makes about two dozen)
You'll need these ingredients (remember, making them organic pet treats if possible)
While your oven is preheating to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, combine all the ingredients into dough (add a touch of water if needed). Knead the dough into a ball and then roll it out to ¼ inch. Cut into one-inch pieces and bake for 25 minutes on a greased cookie sheet.
Use this recipe to bake up some different delicious natural and organic cat treats
Chicken Cookies (makes about 18)
While your oven is preheating to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, combine the chicken, broth and margarine, then add the cornmeal and flour. Knead the dough into a ball and then roll it out to ¼ inch. Cut into one-inch pieces and bake for 20 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet.
What could be simpler? Naturally, the main part of your cat's diet won't consist of organic pet treats. But that doesn't mean natural cat treats shouldn't be healthy.
Organic and natural homemade cat treats are simply the best, and as you can see, they're really easy and inexpensive to make!
Have fun! And enjoy the purrrrrrrs of delight from you feline companion!

Ben Stein, the actor, author and television commentator, is
wild about indexing and ETFs. Stein, who is speaking at
IndexUniverse.com's "Inside ETFs Conference" in February, said he
can't figure out why anyone would invest in any other way.
Believing they can beat the market is the biggest mistake most
investors make, he said.
Stein also told IndexUniverse.com Managing Editor
Olivier Ludwig that alternative investments are one part of his
asset allocation plan he regrets not having paid more attention
to, and called cash the most spectacular alternative investment
of all.
Everyone says you love ETFs.
I do love ETFs. I'm not a big stock picker, and I think, generally
speaking, you do better with an index. I've been boosting indexes
ever since I read John Bogle long ago talking about what a great
idea index investing was. I totally believed him, and have found it
to be true in my own life.
You don't worry about the things Bogle worries about, in terms of
people using ETFs irresponsibly and trading them excessively?
You can use any investment irresponsibly, and if you have broad
enough ETFs-I don't favor narrow ones-things can hardly go wrong.
You will outperform individual stock pickers, you will outperform
the people on TV who are waving their arms around saying they're
going to outperform you. You'll outperform just about everyone.
Every few years, some active stock pickers will outperform you, but
in general, you'll outperform everyone else.
Apart from the passive vs. active debate you're wading into, what
else about ETFs is worth recommending to investors?
Their low prices, and they can give you both breadth and focus. For
example, they are a brilliant way to invest in countries and in
certain industries and sectors. But I generally like broad ETFs-the
broader the better. I don't want to claim any expertise in picking
stocks. When I was a younger man, I seemed to have some sort of
gift for it, but I don't seem to have that gift anymore. So I'd
much rather go with ETFs, the broader the better. I sort of don't
understand why anyone would go any other way.
Which country ETFs do you favor?
I've had good luck with the Canadian one [(iShares MSCI Canada
Index Fund (NYSEArca:EWC)]. And for a while I was doing really well
with the Australian one [iShares MSCI Australia Index Fund
(NYSEArca:EWA)]. But not anymore. I've done well with Eastern
European ones too, though not quite as well anymore. I've had
dozens and dozens of ETFs. When you see an ad for the many
varieties of ETFs and you wonder who on earth could be buying
those, the answer is Ben Stein.
What about sectors?
I do some sectors in terms of natural resources, and especially
energy-related natural resources. And for a while we all know those
did spectacularly well; then they had a dramatic correction, and
now they're doing really well again. But again, the bulk of my
savings is in diversified indexes. The only active picks I have are
Berkshire Hathaway and some companies that pay a fantastically good
What about the active ETFs? Are you a believer that's going
somewhere, or is that a nonstarter?
More power to them, but I'm not following them. I probably should
look into that more. But Mr. Bogle completely sold me on passive
investing a number of years ago, and I've been happy that he
Some of these country picks you've talked about-Canada,
Australia-sound like sublimated China stories. They're commodity
economies fueling growth in places like China.
Yes, and I have some China too. I also had Russia. But I got out of
Russia because the political situation in Russia seems like it's
reverting back to dictatorship. I didn't want to be involved in
And how does China differ from that?
China doesn't make any bones about it being a dictatorship, whereas
Russia pretends to be something else. When you buy China, you know
you're getting something that's run by a Communist dictatorship.
Russia claims to be something else that it's not.
What about India?
That is something that I have completely missed the boat on, except
for the fact that I have some very large-scale, very widely
diversified, less-developed country ETFs. So that would include
India. I should have more India. I just did not see India becoming
the powerhouse it has become. That was a mistake.
I'm guessing it's not too late.
I don't think it's too late either, and I'm glad you brought that
up, because my next call will probably be to my broker to send me
some data on India.
How much of an allocation do you think is appropriate for the
emerging markets?
I wouldn't allocate more than 15 or 20 percent at most-not because
they're not great and that the growth isn't there, but because
there's political instability throughout the region. But if you're
80, you should probably just be in cash or in short-term bonds.
What are some of the biggest mistakes investors make?
I think the biggest mistake you can make -unless you are one of the
most skillful of stock picker investors like Warren E. Buffett-is
to think you are going to outperform the indexes. For the enormous
mass of investors, just going with the indexes is the way to
When you look at Buffett closely, he's a buy-and-hold investor, and
that's one of the tenets of passive investing.
Yes, and by this point, he runs an index fund. He has so many
different companies that he owns or owns very large parts of.
Any other big mistakes investors make?
Well, one of the mistakes I've made is having been too sanguine
about the market itself and not diversified enough into alternative
investments, of which the most spectacular is cash. If it's cash in
a CD or if it's cash in a money market fund from one of the big
brokerages, it cannot lose its value. It's a very smart alternative
investment, and I wish I had had more of it.
The desirable amount of cash is at least 15 percent-at any age,
and would get to be closer to 25 percent as you pass 60. And I
think these allocations should be constant, no matter what the
state of the U.S. economy.
That flies in the face of brokerage industry orthodoxy that
equities are better than cash or bonds to achieve returns over the
long term that beat inflation.
Well, we haven't had much inflation lately, but if we do, and you
have bonds, especially medium- or long-term bonds, you'll really
get creamed. I'm an old guy, and I can remember the days of the
double-digit inflation in the '70s and early '80s when bonds were
just getting murdered day after day. Every day, the bond market
floor would be littered with the dead and dying.
But if you jumped in when all the killing was finished, then you
did quite well, didn't you?
But you never know when it's finished. Nobody is ever smart enough
to know when it's finished. Who possibly would have guessed that
March 9, 2009 was the bottom, and that from then on, you were going
to enjoy close to 90 percent recovery. Nobody could have guessed
that. Nobody knows where the bottom is and nobody knows where the
top is.
On that note, who knows that there's not going to be another swoon?
You hear guys like Jeremy Grantham say that figuring out fair value
has been distorted by the Fed's quantitative easing.
Well, the quantitative easing does not seem to have had the effect
that it was supposed to have. It's quite the contrary. People are
hedging against inflation instead of lending more. We desperately
need easier credit, especially in home finance. In fact, mortgage
rates have just skyrocketed in the last several months. And it
still causes brain damage trying to get a mortgage. The banks say
they're willing to lend, but to get a loan, you put your life in
your hands in terms of what the banks require of you.
So, prognosticate a bit:What is your outlook?
I'm not a good prognosticator, but we're certainly in a recovery.
But will it last? Will there be some new crisis in Europe that will
cause the market to crash? Will spending restraints by the federal
government cause some sort of unwelcome change on the demand side?
We don't know these things, and that's why it's important to be
extremely diversified, both around the globe and in terms of having
cash and very, very short-term bonds.
So what are we living through now? It almost seems like a very mild
form of the 1930s combined with the inflationary pressures of the
Realistically speaking, the situation we're in now is not even
remotely close to the situation of the '30s. In the '30s, at one
point, we had roughly 25 percent unemployment. And those were in
the days when most families had only one breadwinner, no meaningful
unemployment compensation and no federally insured savings
accounts. So if that breadwinner lost his job, it was really a
disaster. Right now, we have 9.4 percent unemployment; it's been as
high as 9.8 percent, but it's not even close to being comparable
with the amount of suffering we had in the Great Depression.
But, having said that, I remember thinking after Lehman declared
bankruptcy that there's no bottom here. Had Bank of America not
stepped in and rescued Merrill Lynch, or had Mr. Paulson suddenly
not come to his senses and instituted TARP, the disaster could have
been on an unprecedented scale. People were terrified.
What about the employment situation?
It's still too high. Unemployment is always a lagging indicator;
it's always one of the last to recover. Employers lay off and find
they can do quite well without the workers and they work around the
shortage of labor in their factory or shop. And only when demand
really increases will unemployment fall in a big way. Demand has
increased, but nowhere near the level that is needed to make a
meaningful dent in unemployment.
I will say that I used to dismiss anecdotal evidence as being
meaningless, but I no longer do. And what I see around many of the
shops in Southern California is a lot signs up looking for new
employees. Maybe people won't be employed at the level they'd like
to be, but there are jobs out there.
So you're cautiously optimistic that some corner may have been
Yes, I think we have turned the corner, barring some new calamity
in Europe or some political instability in the U.S. or some totally
hare-brained idea like drastic cuts in the budget. But it's going
to be a very long, slow, slippery corner.
You seem to be optimistic about the United States in general.
Well, China is clearly going to be the dominant industrial power of
the 21
century. But we still have a very large multiple of per capita GDP
of China. And we still have a very pleasant way of life for most
middle-class Americans.
All the prognostication of doom and gloom for America has turned
out to be wrong. I've heard so many:that Europe would overtake us;
that Japan would overtake us; that Russia would overtake us. It
never happened.
Maybe it will happen with the Chinese, but it doesn't matter
that China will become the No. 1 industrial power in the world.
Even on a per capita basis, we have a much better life, and even if
they get to have the highest per capita GDP in the world, it
doesn't mean we will be poorer. It means we will be richer because
they'll be more able to buy our products.
I'd say, generally speaking, people who have bet against the
long-run future of America have cause to regret it.
You clearly don't share the doom and gloom of Peter Schiff?
Not at all. Peter Schiff made a really good call about the finance
sector. He and I debated about that, and he was far more
pessimistic than I was before the crash. He turned out to be right,
and I turned out to be wrong, and God bless him for it.
But he also predicted that we were going to have mega-inflation
like Weimar Germany, and that turned out to be totally wrong. He
also said in early '09 and late in '08 to sell all your stocks and
go entirely into cash and gold, and that turned out to be wildly
So how is Ben Bernanke going to get out from the extraordinary
situation he's in and help the U.S. economy get back on its
I think that he and the people at the Treasury Department saved the
day with the TARP plan, but I don't think he's going to get us out
now. I think what's going to get us out is the ingenuity and the
cleverness and agility of the American businessman and the American
What I see is that even with all our problems, we're still
wildly prosperous. Times are nowhere near as good as they were 2
1/2 or three years ago, but this is still a very wonderful place.
The living here compared to any other place at any other time in
history is awfully good.
Are you planning any books?
My colleague Phil DeMuth and I have written a number of books on
the economy, and we have a new one coming out in April, "The Little
Book of Alternative Investments." We go into an awful lot of new
things but, even if they put us in prison and give us truth serum,
we'd still say go with indexing and go with the broadest possible

Careful budgets they offer. To me they gave me one. I thought it was right and when they finished they brought me treat me as a surprise that owed more money than originally budgeted. Also in the reception are not friendly and hide in that not everything can be budgeted. Do not tell the truth, you want to take for treatment and then they ask more money than you initially said.

I had such a great experience at SoFi Dental. I Cracked my tooth and got an appointment right away. When I walked in they were super friendly, which can be hard to find in Miami. I filled out my paper work and a second later they were asking me to come back. An hour later my root canal was done. The doctor was gentle and the staff kind and attentive. I was really impressed by the cleanliness of the office and the professionalism of every one there. They will be where I go from now on.

I have of course tried updating, but NVIDIA doesn't like me... In the end I decided to check DXDIAG, which also looks quite... weird?
I have the MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti 1GB PhysX GPU, and I'm running Windows 8 64-BIT. This "error" can happen randomly, both while playing games, browsing or just being on my desktop.

News One Person's Upload is Another Person's Download
posted by October 20 at 11:16 AMon
Yesterday, I posted a conservative critique of Net neutrality. I agreed with the article for a half a second, but then I came to my senses.
Their analogy (that the Net is like a newspaper that can prioritize content as it sees fit) falls flat because the Net isn't like one newspaper. The Net is more like the public library, where I can find every newspaper equally displayed on the shelves. And that's the point of Net neutrality: The Net is a public resource that should not be used to discriminate against content.
The private companies that profit from operating this public resource, should not be able to discriminate against content providers.
According to an uncharacteristically opinionated and investigative-style story that broke in the AP yesterday, Comcastthe nation's No. 2 internet providerin an apparent effort to curb file sharing, is discriminating on the Net.
Here's the AP lead:
NEW YORK - Comcast Corp. actively interferes with attempts by some of its high-speed Internet subscribers to share files online, a move that runs counter to the tradition of treating all types of Net traffic equally.
The interference, which The Associated Press confirmed through nationwide tests, is the most drastic example yet of data discrimination by a U.S. Internet service provider. It involves company computers masquerading as those of its users.
If widely applied by other ISPs, the technology Comcast is using would be a crippling blow to the BitTorrent, eDonkey and Gnutella file-sharing networks. While these are mainly known as sources of copyright music, software and movies, BitTorrent in particular is emerging as a legitimate tool for quickly disseminating legal content.
The principle of equal treatment of traffic, called "Net Neutrality" by proponents, is not enshrined in law but supported by some regulations. Most of the debate around the issue has centered on tentative plans, now postponed, by large Internet carriers to offer preferential treatment of traffic from certain content providers for a fee.
And as I said, the must-read article is uncharacteristic for the AP. It truth-squads Comcast's sound bites and makes the case for Net neutrality. Here's a sample:
Comcast, the nation's largest cable TV operator and No. 2 Internet provider, would not specifically address the practice, but spokesman Charlie Douglas confirmed that it uses sophisticated methods to keep Net connections running smoothly.
"Comcast does not block access to any applications, including BitTorrent," he said.
Douglas would not specify what the company means by "access" Comcast subscribers can download BitTorrent files without hindrance. Only uploads of complete files are blocked or delayed by the company, as indicated by AP tests.
But with "peer-to-peer" technology, users exchange files with each other, and one person's upload is another's download. That means Comcast's blocking of certain uploads has repercussions in the global network of file sharers.
Comcast's technology kicks in, though not consistently, when one BitTorrent user attempts to share a complete file with another user.
Each PC gets a message invisible to the user that looks like it comes from the other computer, telling it to stop communicating. But neither message originated from the other computer it comes from Comcast. If it were a telephone conversation, it would be like the operator breaking into the conversation, telling each talker in the voice of the other: "Sorry, I have to hang up. Good bye."
