Marvel Says a Female Character Will Be the New Thor
Disney's Marvel Entertainment announced on ABC talk show "The View" that Thor, the God of Thunder himself, is no longer worthy of wielding Mjolnir, the mystical Asgardian hammer. A woman — not yet identified — will now wield it, and that means we're getting a female Thor.
How did Thor become unworthy? Did he lie? Did he abandon his morals? He must have. "Only those of sound moral character and integrity may lift Mjolnir," according to the Marvel Universe wiki. Without it, as we saw in the 2011 Marvel movie "Thor," he loses much of his strength. Whoever wields the practically unbreakable hammer, forged from a metal called Uru, can manipulate the power of storms and focus their strengths through it.
And just who is this mysterious woman taking over for Thor? Marvel, in an announcement on its website, didn't name her, but series writer Jason Aaron wanted to be clear about one thing:
"This is not She-Thor. This is not Lady Thor. This is not Thorita. This is THOR. This is the THOR of the Marvel Universe. But it's unlike any Thor we've ever seen before."
Does this mean we can expect a woman to take over as "Thor" in the third movie coming from Disney's Marvel? Or does this just have a thunderous impact on the continuity of the comics? It's not clear at the moment.

What is clear is that Marvel is making a big push to reach out to female readers, an audience the comics industry is often accused of ignoring.
"The inscription on Thor's hammer reads 'Whosoever holds this hammer, if HE be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.' Well it's time to update that inscription," Marvel editor Wil Moss said in the company's announcement. "The new Thor continues Marvel's proud tradition of strong female characters like Captain Marvel, Storm, Black Widow and more. And this new Thor isn't a temporary female substitute – she's now the one and only Thor, and she is worthy!"
The new "Thor" title will debut in October, Marvel said.

Back when I worked outside of the home, The Daver and I divided up the house chores. I tried like hell to do mine and Dave's, well, often went undone (let's just leave it at "he works a lot" and be done with it. Normally, I'd make some sort of joke here, but I am trying to get laid. So, no jokes). So when I started to stay home, almost all of the chores were taken over by me. Save for two: mowing the lawn and doing the catboxes, as pregnant women aren't supposed to actually touch kitty poo (not that I scooped it with my bare hands or anything. That's nasty).
And the fights about doing the catboxes, they were mighty, as The Daver hates that chore possibly more than he hates putting away his laundry (which, judging by the fact that his laundry has sat in the baskets that I've put them in for 7 or 8 months, is a lot. To his credit, when my mother-in-law came out to stay this summer, I noticed what a fanatic she was about laundry and suddenly I understood my husband much, much better. You might even say that my sympathy grew quite a bit.). In order to avoid said fights, and the less pleasant option of letting the cats poo on the carpets and the sinks, I take care of them about half of the time (especially gleefully when I am offered sex as a bribe. What can I say? I'm easy) because I am no longer with child.
The lawn, however, would go unmowed to the point at which I would actually hide from my neighbors (this is especially easy when one's lawn looks remarkably like a prairie!) so that they couldn't yell at me or give me nasty looks. Alex never sleeps, so I can't do it at his naptime, I cannot safely mow the lawn while holding him, and although I have threatened to get a goat, I'm certain that the neighbors might hate that smell even more than the waist high grass.
A couple of months ago, while having coffee with one of my neighbors, her teenage son walked into the room. It was then that my brilliant idea was hatched: I can pay someone about $20 a week to do something that has become a major source of contention in my marriage AND BE DONE WITH IT. Everyone walks away a winner!
His father, who is coincidentally my son's soccer coach and the father of his best friend came to assist the first time, and they did an asskicking job. Although we were a bit sheepish about this arrangement, the same way you feel when a 50 year old man delivers your pizza, we were assured that his father was merely showing him the ropes. The check was written for $30 because the lawn had been in such sorry shape, and we made the teen promise to buy his father something nice as well (again, we were embarressed at ourselves here).
This may have been our fatal flaw, because the following week when I dropped by his house to give him his check for $20, he looked at it and got kind of, oh I don't know, surly over the amount (which had been agreed upon beforehand). I'm sure he was hoping to get $30 EVERY week, but hey, he's 14 and it takes him 45 minutes because my lawn, it ain't sprawling.
It happened again this Sunday, he came by, mowed with our mower, and when Dave brought out the check, he got a bit salty. He's never actually complained out loud to us about it, but you can tell that he isn't pleased.
This annoys me on several levels. First, he's 14 and $20 is a lot of money of 45 minutes of work. I dare you to find me a job at 14 that pays that well, besides of course, prostitution or porn. Secondly, I am literally surrounded by teenage boys that would be more than happy to make a quick buck. I've been offered many times by most of them that they are available to do odd jobs for me (too bad there are no cabana boys here). Third, it's a lot more money than the job warrants. Period.
So I'm stuck between some grass and some taller grass here (get it? Because he's MOWING MY LAWN! HAHAHAHAHA.). I can't just tell him that he's no longer needed and hire another kid, as his mother is one of my best neighborhood friends AS WELL as the mother of Ben's best friend. Plus, he's never actually SAID anything to me about it, just gotten sort of grumpy when the check is delivered (which, yeah, at his age, I babysat, and you know what? I never, ever bitched about what I was paid, because it was damn easy work. I also walked uphill to school both ways in the snow WITHOUT SHOES. Damn kids these days!)
What the hell do I do?

Outsource to a professional. Seriously. We pay about $20/week for a crew of three guys that shows up once a week and mows the lawn, edges the lawn, cleans up all fallen leaves or other assorted nastiness and does a great yard-cleanup/weeding in the spring and the fall.
Then, you get more professional results, so you can tell your friend that her son gave it a great start and now you want MORE. Start with the pros in the spring, and put up with the surliness for the next month or so.
Best $85/month I've ever spent. Now my cleaning lady, who charges me $85/week, is another story entirely. I think maybe a teenager could do better.
I am for hire at about $20/job to take kids out at the knees. I promise I won't get surly.
I have a real profession landscaping service who comes in for $25/week and polishes off the job in like 20 mins. The truck pulls up and 5 Hispanic men (who I doubt have green cards) jump out and get to work. My lawn looks great and there is no squabble over the work or question about the price.
And I wasn't trying to be controversial or racist with my green card comment – I was just being truthful.
he's a 14 year old boy…at 14 *EVERYTHING* pissed me off…the world owed me a god damn living and was just stupid!!!
Anyway, next time he comes around, just say if he gets huffy with you, the next check will be for $15..
Hold on, the whole rest of that was interesting, but really I didn't care. Sorry. Let me understand this, you clean the litter box, and for this service, you then service your husband? You clean the litter box, and put out for this…privilege? I don't know how to use words to express my confusion here. Do I have this right? And if so, do you have a sister? Please?
Also, on a side note, for Halloween I'm going as Cabana boy, seriously, this has been planned out for a long time. What do Cabana Boys do and wear? Thanks.

What is a financial spread?
A "spread", in finance, is a pair of prices—one for buying and one for selling. The most common type of financial spread is the bid-offer spread.
The offer price is the price at which a broker or market maker will sell you shares (or some other financial instrument). The bid price is the price at which the broker or market maker will buy those same investments back from you.
The dealer (the broker or market maker) is agnostic to the price of the shares. They don't care whether they are a good investment or not. That's because the dealer makes their money not from speculating on the share price, but from the difference between the bid and offer prices—from the spread, in other words.
Over the course of an investment, it's inevitable that you are going to buy it and sell it. Provided the dealer quotes a lower price for buying (the bid) and a higher price for selling (the offer), they will make money. You, on the other hand, gain the advantage of liquidity: you can buy or sell the investment on the spot according to your whim. The dealer will be buying and selling "across the spread" in the course of their business, and that's where they make their money. There may also be brokerage fees, in which case the "spread" represents an additional cost for immediate liquidity.
If a dealer wishes to attract business, they will quote a "narrow spread", with the bid and offer prices close to each other, which provides maximum value to buyers and sellers. Dealing is a competitive business so there will be competition amongst market makers to make their spreads narrow enough to attract customers, yet as wide as they can get away with to maximise their profits.
Suppose you are quoted a bid-offer spread on Acme Widgets Inc of 148 to 152 pence. This means you can buy these shares for 152 pence each, or sell them for 148 pence each. Let's assume you buy some shares at 152 pence each. Some time later the bid-offer spread is 153 to 155 pence, and you sell your holding. Because you must buy at the offer price and sell at the bid price, you will only have made one penny on each share (the difference between 152 and 153 pence), even though the value of the underlying investments has changed by more than this. In this example, the mid-point of the bid-offer spread rose by 4 pence—from 150 to 154 pence.
Before you can make any money on an investment, its underlying value needs to rise by the amount of the bid-offer spread. But if the value of the investment falls, you lose an amount equal to the sum of the bid-offer spread plus the drop in the underlying value.
In times of uncertainty and rapidly-changing prices, the dealer is likely to quote a very wide spread, to reduce their risk. In times of financial stability, the bid-offer spread might be relatively narrow.
A financial spread can be quoted for any kind of security such as stocks, options, currency swaps, and futures contracts, or for any standardised tradeable commodity such as wheat or coffee beans.

AUGUSTA, Ga.---The plan is for hundreds of thousands of your dollars to help build and run a new trade and event center...but commissioners aren't ready to pay up just yet.
Augusta Riverfront, LLC wants to work with the city to build a trade, exhibit, and event center on the river, right next to the Marriott.
The "TEE Center" project has been endorsed by the Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Development Authority, but today the Commission voted not to approve the proposal for the second time.
Augusta Riverfront, LLC, a Billy Morris company, wants to build a 50,000 square foot trade center downtown on Reynolds Street to attract big events they say right now Augusta just can't handle. They say the plan would also help local hotels.
They want to build it on their property adjacent to the Marriott. The company's plan is to give the land to the city in exchange for the city agreeing to pay a quarter million dollars to operate the TEE Center.
Commissioners who voted against the proposal told News 12 that was one of the big concerns.
"Asking the city to come up with $250,000 a year for operational costs and another $100,000 a year for capital expenditures is probably a bit much," said Commissioner Joe Bowles.
"This is a priority project," said Barry White of the Augusta Convention and Visitors Bureau. "They determined that this was a priority project when the sales tax was passed, so we're going to keep it right in front of them, keep it on the radar screen."
When commissioners and other leaders were trying to pass SPLOST, this was one of the big projects they talked about. The holdup now is figuring out where they want to build it and how much money the city is willing to put into the project.
The Commission's next step is to form a three member committee along with City Administrator Fred Russell to talk with Mr. Morris' company and other companies to hopefully decide on the perfect location for the center.
Developers said they had done all they could to those plans to make it work.

I lack a compelling "conversion" story. I always wished for something dramatic, a miraculous turn from prodigal lostness, and rescue to a new life. But that takes a healthy dose of prodigal wandering, a challenge for one who relates more to the older brother in the story.
I lacked a conversion story, that is, until I went to the West Bank and Gaza. But my Holy Land conversion was hardly what one might expect.
As I have grown older and my theology has deepened, I have become a proponent of the "gray area" in most issues. I continually frustrate friends who are firmly entrenched in their positions, because I refuse to write off one side or the other entirely. I want to find a third way, a middle road, a place of reconciliation. Coming from a "conservative" background and then being immersed in a "liberal" milieu, I have found that both are a part of me and I am not willing to discount either.
So I was shocked a few days into my visit to the Holy Land to find myself adamantly one-sided. Of course I recognize that there are two sides to the story of conflict in the Middle East. There are no easy answers. But on the scales of justice, the amount of oppression I witnessed in seven days didn't just tip the scales, it knocked them over.
I agreed to this trip knowing that our group of 25 internationals would spend the first week with Sabeel, an organization working to bring awareness to the plight of Palestinian Christians. I knew that four of us would spend the second week visiting World Vision sites in the West Bank and Gaza. Because World Vision is a Christian relief agency that works with the poor, I realized that our interaction would be heavily slanted toward spending time with Palestinian Christians.
Prior to the trip, I knew only that there was a conflict in the region and that it had been going on a long, long time. I assumed that I would, as usual, see the gray. Admittedly, I was quite ignorant. I had heard about Israel and Palestine on the news, but was not sure I could distinguish an Israeli settlement from a Palestinian refugee camp.
During the two weeks, we met primarily with Palestinian and Arab Israeli Christians. We listened to their stories. We heard about the separation wall that Israel is building to secure its territory from "violent Palestinians," and saw how that wall winds through Palestinian territory in what seems like an arbitrary fashion. The town of Bethlehem, almost exclusively Palestinian, is encircled by the wall, and boasts the highest percentage of Christians in the occupied Palestinian territory. Prior to the wall, many of the Palestinian Christians in Bethlehem worked in Jerusalem. Now they are not allowed through without a permit. One must apply for a permit in Jerusalem. In order to get to Jerusalem, one must have a permit. This circuitous logic is just one example of what Palestinian Christians (and all Palestinians) deal with daily.
Could one power really do this to another people? With the backing of the world? With significant financial support from the United States? With so few people talking about it?
In light of what I was learning, I was amazed that we as Americans and we as the American church were not more disliked by the Palestinians I met. But again and again they told me, "You must not know. The American people must not know. The Christians in America must not know what is happening. Otherwise, they would do something to help us. Wouldn't they?"
One day we were at lunch in Nazareth, technically within the borders of Israel. We met with local Sabeel representatives, Arab Israeli Christians. One woman told me that even among Arab Israelis there is a curious ambivalence toward acting on behalf of their Palestinian brothers and sisters in the West Bank and Gaza. I was shocked. They are right there, so close, and they are denying that there is an issue.
"It's easy," she responded. "You see, if they believe it, then they have to act. It is easier not to believe."
It's easier not to believe.
But I can't deny it. I was there. I saw with my eyes. I heard with my ears. I was a witness.
The situation is so complex. It is a weaving of family and land and religion and power and politics and water and territory. There are no easy answers. People are suffering, on both sides, Palestinians and Israelis. I don't believe that violence is the answer, no matter what the question. But there is serious injustice going on, and we as Americans and we as Christians are implicated. I cannot wash my hands and say it is someone else's problem. It is mine.
I feel a bit like the TV evangelist threatening hellfire and brimstone to force a conversion. I am a bit more intolerant than I would like to admit regarding those who do not see things my way, who are resistant to being converted, who are more balanced, more gray, in their approach. It is an uncomfortable place for one who prides herself on her moderate and balanced views. Yet as with any conversion, I am compelled to tell the story.
And so I declare to you what I have heard, what I have seen with my own eyes, and what I have touched with my own hands. z

Should You Pay Your Children for Good Grades?
This is a guest post from Suba Iyer.
I grew up in India. We didn't have a concept of weekly/monthly allowances. If we needed anything we would ask our parents. If they felt it was reasonable and affordable for them, they would buy us the stuff. We never handled cash on our own other than the occasional birthday or other holiday money. No one got allowances, so we didn't miss it either.
When I first came to the US and heard from my friends about the allowances they got from their parents, I was amused. Why would someone pay a kid just because he/she lives with them? I didn't understand but I didn't have an opinion on that one way or the other, so I just filed it away as one of the cultural thing in the US. Then recently I revisited this concept when I stumbled upon a "cash for grades" experiment that paid school kids based on the grades they got.
That got me thinking. Money is one of the great motivators for making people work hard or for getting something done. So why not extend that concept and pay underperforming kids at school and incentivize them? But do I really want my kid to put a dollar value on everything, including expected behavior like chores they should be doing anyway to keep their living space clean? What are the pros and cons of this approach?
What does science say?
As I mentioned earlier there are a couple of studies that measured the impact of paying kids to do well in standardized tests. The premise is quite simple – kids were rewarded either with money or trophies. The reward was either given: (1) before the test with the condition that it will be taken away if the performance doesn't live up to the expectation, (2) immediately following the test, or (3) promised at a later time.
The result was generally positive, with test scores improving if the kids were rewarded. What is more interesting is the way each one of these scenarios worked out.
- The size of the reward matters. Kids worked harder if the reward was $80/hr vs. $40/hr.
- Rewards that were framed as losses (e.g., you get a fresh $20 bill handed to you before the test, if you don't get an 'A' on the test, you lose the $20) worked well. Loss aversion turned out to an excellent motivator.
- Non-monetary rewards like trophies worked best for younger kids.
- Delayed gratification never seems to work. If the rewards were promised with a delay, it was not very effective in motivating a better performance.
From these individual scenario outcomes, I feel like we are sending kids a wrong message – work for instant gratification.
Yes, paying kids for good grades helps
I can see some advantages in paying for performance.
Performance pays. After all, throughout our adult life we are paid for performance, why not start at childhood?
Money is an excellent motivator for most people. Most of us work for money, we budget to save money, we look out for more money making opportunities. Whether we accept it or not, money does act as a strong incentive in our lives. What is wrong with teaching kids about working hard, getting paid and managing that money wisely? Don't most of the financial mistakes we commit during our youth occur due to a lack of financial knowledge?
Some kids need all the motivation they can get. In India I know a few people who send their kids to school only because the school provided free lunch. Otherwise, the kids would have gone to work with their parents. In the US, there are lots of underprivileged kids who are the first in their families to go to college. They could use every ounce of motivation they can get. If the money helps the family and keeps the child in the school, why not?
No, it shouldn't be encouraged
I can find as many disadvantages to this concept to balance out the advantages. The main ones being:
It sends the wrong message. All of us have extrinsic motivation (influenced by outside rewards) and intrinsic motivation (a genuine interest in doing the best). If they always come to expect some reward for their performance, doesn't it entirely kill any intrinsic motivation the child should develop?
It doesn't serve the purpose. Tests are developed to measure knowledge. If the only goal is to get better grades, it is possible to just memorize things instead of actually learning about anything. A child can get a perfect score and still be void of any knowledge.
And finally, Shouldn't we encourage kids to put their best efforts in everything they do regardless of rewards?
Should you pay your kids for better grades?
Every child is different. Some people get motivated by rewards, some are motivated by recognition, and some do the work because they enjoy it, no matter what the outcome is. I feel if someone is going to reward better performance, it is important to understand what motivates each child.
I do not have kids, so I cannot comment on which is a better parenting approach. I can see both sides of the coin but would love to hear from parents. What do you think? Does paying children for good grades help in the long run? Or does it send the wrong message?

Hi! Great post When I was in high school my parents paid me for good grades. I was already doing well and my parents challenged me to get an overall A+ at the end of the term for every subject (except gym because I was/am unco).
An A+ earned $20, an A earned $10 and an A- earned $5. My sister and I would forget all about the system until exam time but we usually fared pretty well. The money was usually spent during our holidays. We did some chores but never received pocket money for them. According to my mother money wasn't motivation enough to do chores. Haha, oops.
I think the system worked well but not for every assessment. We also received extra if we took out a prize for the top student in the subject for our grade which our school did every year. It took a lot of effort to pull that one off! It worked wonderfully even after I got my part time job. I agree with you about knowing what motivates each child. Definitely an ad hoc basis kind of system.
– Louise
Ps: sorry for the long post!

The research on this specifically says that it decreases intrinsic motivation in most kids. Paying kids who are poor readers to read seems to help, but paying kids who can already read decreases their desire to read.

Interestingly, there is some new research that says merit pay for teachers really would work better if paid in advance and then taken away (as suggested above).
In any case, I'm with NicoleandMaggie on this. Research with benchmarking is basically any other area is pretty clear: if you create motivators or targets for one group of people and reward them, then your other people that aren't rewarded with become resentful and decrease their performance. Similarly, if you set broad targets for everyone, then your high performance revert to the mean and eventually the motivator (money) has a declining marginal utility on your lower performers – meaning, you continually have to offer more to get them to hit the targets you set.

I've never paid my kids to do well on a test or get good grades, that's just expected. But, I can see how in some circumstances it's a good idea but $20+ per test is ludicrous! I'd go broke at that rate.

Great article. My parents used to give me a little money for my report cards when I was younger. It wasn't much but a nice reward for being a good student. I don't think I needed their motivation to get good grades as I was already doing that anyways. I do like how you brought some behavioral finance terms into the article.

I did and they did very well. Both graduated, one with high honors, both went to college and made the Dean's list and graduated with honors. Both are hard working successful adults. I say yes, it's an incentive, and my one child was a tad, lets say, would rather play video games, I saw this child work harder because of the money incentive. I knew he was capable of doing it, he just needed a ::push::
8A. Mom Says:
March 26th, 2013 at 12:05 pm
I paid per letter grade. Paid more in high school, and more in college. Didn't pay for anything below a B. And a big bonus ($50) for straight A's. Also my parents did it also and paid my kids, more than me if I recall correctly.

Read "Drive", by Daniel Pink. Extrinsic motivation ain't what it seems.
10Kirk Kinder Says:
March 27th, 2013 at 1:05 pm
Each child is different so you need to build a model that motivates the child. The only downside to the pay for grade is if a child isn't a good student or discovers that he/she can't reach the higher grades apathy may set in. The child may take the approach "I can't get the money so I won't make an effort."
I think rewarding hard work and grades might work. This way, the child may still work hard even if they won't attain an A or B. For instance, maybe you pay $20 for effort then another $20 for an A, $10 for a B, etc. This could also pull from a natural born student who doesn't work hard but gets all A's.
We certainly want our children to work for results, but we really want to instill a work ethic.
11Mary Anne @ BillGuard Says:
March 28th, 2013 at 5:31 pm
While I was never paid for grades, I do understand that there are pro's and con's to that type of practice, which I think you've outlined very well here.
Certainly, as adults, we're all expected to perform at work in exchange for income, so why do we hold different expectations for children and students? On the other hand, it would be nice to reward children with praise and other types of reinforcement that can help them build their intrinsic motivation.
Loss aversion, as you said, is a powerful motivator. This is certainly true in investing: people are more afraid of loss than they are of missed opportunity. Finding ways to apply that fundamental piece of data to the way in which we reward children could be very useful.

Wow, $20 for an A+?!? My Dad offered my oldest brother and I one dollar for every A we got in high school. (This was over $25 years ago) Anything less, we didn't get paid for. After he realized we both were getting A's every semester, paying the other two younger kids for good grades went by the roadside. It made an impact, too… They didn't do as well in school.

Tea Tuesday: The DAVIDsTEA Spring Collection
Hello, friends! 🙂
For today's Tea Tuesday, I will be reviewing DAVIDsTEA's 2014 Spring Collection of teas!
At the beginning of every new season, DAVIDsTEA releases a new collection of teas and after such a long, bitterly cold winter this year, I was ecstatic once DAVIDsTEA released their Spring Collection on March 5th.
Blue Lagoon is an herbal tea made with pineapple, blueberry, lemongrass, elderberry, cornflower petals, and natural and artificial flavouring.
The smell of this tea is sweet and fruity and when brewed it is just the right amount of sweetness. It's not overly pineapple-flavoured nor does it overly taste like blueberries, either. The two fruits pair perfectly together to make this refreshing tea for spring!
Cool cucumber is a black tea, which surprised me because I thought with a flavour as light and delicate as cucumber, the tea would be a white or green tea. But, to my surprise (again), this tea is absolutely amazing and doesn't taste like a black tea at all. It actually tastes as though you're sipping on cucumber flavoured water. It's refreshing and perfect as either a hot or cold tea.
The ingredients in Cool Cucumber include black tea, honeydew melon, cucumber, sunflower petals, blue mallow blossoms, and natural and artificial flavouring.
Overall, Cool Cucumber is my favourite tea of the 2014 Spring Collection.
Being a big fan of green teas, I was really excited for Grape Expectations and it didn't disappoint. It's a nice green tea with perfect notes of grape tied into it. I like this tea hot or warm and feel that this is the perfect tea to sip all day long on these beautiful spring days we've been having lately!
The ingredients in Grape Expectations include organic green tea, raisins, cornflower, and natural grape flavouring. I recommend steeping this tea no longer than 4 minutes or it may become bitter.
A bowl of peaches and cream was a favourite snack of mine growing up. I remember after school as a child, my Mom would cut me up a juicy peach and pour luxurious thick cream over top. So, when I heard that DAVIDsTEA released a tea called Peaches and Cream all of those memories came rushing back to me and I became very excited.
Although this tea is very delicious, sweet, refreshing, and very peachy, I was expecting more of a "cream" flavour like their Lime Gelato tea. However, I still enjoyed Peaches and Cream and think it'll be a great tea to have on hand this spring!
The ingredients in Peaches and Cream include peach, apple, vanilla pieces, peach crunchy, safflower petals, sunflower petals, and natural flavouring. As you can see, Peaches and Cream really doesn't contain any tea at all! It's an herbal tea, which means it is caffeine free, so it's the perfect tea for those watching their caffeine intake!
Pom Tango is a black tea that DAVIDsTEA brought back from last year's Spring Collection. I thoroughly enjoy this tea iced, but is great hot, too, and I love the fact that this tea isn't bitter like some pomegranate teas I've tried in the past.
Pom Tango contains mango cubes, black tea, pomegranate, and artificial flavouring. I think the mango is the perfect addition of sweetness to this tea and really makes it taste like a juice rather than a black tea.
Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with the 2014 Spring Collection. So, if you've been wanting to try it or buy yourself the 5 new teas, I recommend you do so now! It'll get you excited for spring and gain hope that this winter is soon coming to an end 🙂
Also, the #teawithmeg hashtag seems to be taking off quite nicely! A big thanks to all of you who've used the hashtag and had a virtual tea date with me 🙂 I can't wait for more! 🙂
Have you tried the 2014 Spring Collection yet? What were your thoughts?

Watch Keith Olbermann's "Special Comment" on Prop 8
Then share it with your friends to start a conversation about restoring marriage equality
In this emotional statement on "Countdown," his nightly news program on MSNBC, Keith Olbermann eloquently expresses why the passage of Prop 8 is so tragic and then directly addresses supporters of
the proposition.
Usually, after an election, political discussions wind down and life returns to normal. But Prop 8 is not
about politics. It is about love, equality and civil rights.
That's why over 100,000 people have signed the pledge to repeal Prop 8, launched by the
Courage Campaign and CREDO Mobile.
Californians are standing up for marriage equality and speaking out against enshrining discrimination in
our state's constitution. But, to build a grassroots Marriage Equality Movement -- the civil rights
movement of the 21st Century -- we need to start changing the conversation across California and our country.
That means talking with our family and friends. Studies have shown that the most effective way to swing a voter to our side is to talk to our friends about the meaning of marriage equality. The path to repealing Prop 8 and restoring marriage equality to California starts now, with you and the discussions
you have with the people in your life. This video is a great way to spark that dialogue.

"Trying-to-get-laid-while-coming-of-age" comedies are as old as the wind and the moon, or at least about 1973. They're as much a Hollywood summer staple as solicitation for prostitution arrests on Sunset Boulevard.
The To Do List switches things up a little though. In this movie the female is the one on the hunt for nookie, but for purely academic purposes.
Directed by Maggie Carey, The To Do List stars Aubrey Plaza as the studious Brandy Klark (or "Pancake" to her friends), a recent top-of-her-class high school graduate in Boise, Idaho who has spent the last few years more concerned about her SAT score than boys. But with college right around the corner, Brandy is warned by her slut-tastic older sister, Amber (Rachel Bilson), that she still has a lot to learn about matters of the groin. Brandy then becomes determined to make up for lost time by compiling (then engaging in) a tawdry list of sexual acts in order to gain clinical experience before leaving home for campus life. This list includes everything from the relatively tame (French kissing, hickies) all the way up to hardcore entries such as a "shocker," "69" and no less than 3 types of "jobs." The final entry and culmination of the list is, of course, sex.
Keep in mind here, if you happen to be a father of a daughter, this film will play out more like a horror movie than a comedy. And even if you don't fit into that category, be prepared for a level of raunch that would scandalize a Tijuana peep show goat. Some of you might remember when Porky's came out, and how many saw it as a portent of the imminent downfall of American society. We wonder how the denizens of 1982 would feel if they knew that in just 30 years there would be a mainstream movie that features a teenage girl taking a bite out of a log of human crap. Not to mention a shower room fellatio spit take, a fairly graphic hands-in-the-panties masturbation scene and the number of other carnal exploits carried out by a main character who, if she wore the right outfit, could easily pass for a 13-year-old (even though Plaza is 29).
If you can get past that, there's a lot of funny to be had here. Plaza is capable and engaging as a comedic lead and the supporting cast performs admirably. Especially Bill Hader (who happens to be the director's husband, by the way) as the burnout manager of the public pool where Plaza's character works for the summer. Speaking of the pool, it's this setting that serves as the main stable from which our protagonist picks out the various young men who will act as unwitting but willing participants in her quest to check off different naughty entries on her list.
First, there's the prototypical nice guy who's loved Brandy all through high school, Cameron (Johnny Simmons). He gets a hand job in return for a finger "bomb." Then there's Donald Glover as Adam, who takes care of the cunnilingus entry until his little brother walks into the room. Christopher "McLovin" Mintz-Plasse gets dry humped, and Andy Samberg receives the aforementioned shower fellatio in a very funny cameo as a grunge musician. As far as the actual intercourse goes, Brandy has her sights set on a ripped, guitar-playing, surfer-haired doofus named Rusty Waters (Scott Porter), an object of overwhelming lust since an accidental makeout session occurred at Brandy's first "real" party.
Ok, so we've talked enough about why it's rated R. There has to be some dramatic tension in between all the genital fumbling though, right? This comes from "good guy" Cameron's depression over Brandy's unwillingness to equate their heavy petting with anything substantive, and Brandy's friends' (Sarah Steele and Arrested Development's Alia "Maeby" Shawkat) aggravation with her over an inconsiderate escapade with Mintz-Plasse, whom one of them already had inexplicable designs on. Finally there's Connie Britton as Brandy's enabling mother and Clark Gregg (Agent Coulson!) as her suitably horrified father.
Many of the punchlines rely on nostalgia for the year in which this story takes place, 1993. Twenty years ago is probably sufficiently ancient enough for the likely audience of this movie to be considered worthy of this kind of treatment, but 1993 never really saw the kind of fashion misjudgements and cultural oddities as in 1969 or, say, 1985. Nonetheless, period appropriate music from 2 Live Crew and Big Head Todd set the various tones while the fact that the Internet has yet to explode is made abundantly clear.
Everything is resolved and lessons are learned such as "sex is important, but not that important." The role-reversal of The To Do List is an interesting concept, and it certainly gives its female cast members the opportunity to dabble in the kind of down-and-dirty style of humor that the women of Bridesmaids pulled off so well. As was mentioned previously, there are a number of funny moments in this movie, especially for those who require an adult guardian to get into the theater. The guardian however, has likely seen all this before.
E. Reid Ross is highly qualified to review movies, at least according to his grandmother. There is also an entire shelf in his home that is almost halfway filled with DVDs, which has to say something, right? Feel free to friend him on Facebook, follow him on Twitter and check out his supple body of work over on Cracked.com. He and a few pals also blaspheme old comics at RealToyGun.com.
ERR bit off more than anyone would chew with Delicious Food or Horrifying Animal? but if anyone could do it, it's these Teen Girls Way Tougher than You.

"Look Mommy, I made the color brown. And look here, I made a crown for this heart to wear. And here there's a sun and a cloud and all these colors mixed up on this side means how much I love everything."
We had the incredible opportunity to visit pop artist Burton Morris' studio in Santa Monica today with E's preschool class. There's nothing quite like the enthusiasm of four and five-year-olds. And when it's combined the energy, enthusiasm and patience of a famous artist who also happens to be the dad of a preschooler himself?
It's nothing short of magic.
Burton gave us a tour of his studio and showed the kids a canvas he's working on that, when finished, will be a special donation to their school. Last month, he visited their classrooms to begin the creative process for the piece, talking to them about what was important in their lives, and then using their words and emotions to create a totally unique piece of pop art just for them.
He talked to them about being a kid who liked to draw, a kid who drew everything--what he was looking at, his morning bowl of cereal, the toys in his room. He explained how he takes everyday objects and ideas and makes them come to life through his art.
"Mommy," E said, surrounded by crayons, still furiously scribbling away. "I want to be a true artist when I grow up. I really, really do."
Close enough to hear her, Burton leaned down and put his hand on her shoulder.
"You are a true artist now," he whispered. And E lit up with the magic of a million dreams.
Thanks so much to Burton Morris for sharing his talent, his wisdom and his love for art with E's classroom today! You made a lot of kids feel happy and inspired and proud of their own abilities. And for this mom, who tries every day to teach my kids to work hard and dream big, this was the lesson of a lifetime.

CHARLESTON - Defense was a staple of George Washington's unbeaten run through the 2013 high school soccer season, so it was fitting when the Patriots won the state championship with a 1-0 victory in the final.
At the back, commanding the defense that allowed a state-low 0.21 goals against per game during the regular season, was senior goalkeeper Garrett Phillips. The Patriots, with Phillips in command, shut out their final three postseason opponents - Woodrow Wilson, Jefferson and Parkersburg - to claim the program's third state championship.
Phillips was honored Saturday as the boys high school soccer player of the year and captain of the Class AAA all-state team, as voted on by the West Virginia Sportswriters Association.
"His strength was the ability to react," George Washington coach Tom Hopper said. "He's been a goalkeeper for along time obviously. Last year, he as just starting to come into his own, and this year, he stepped it up quite a bit. He understands the positions, and he knows how to react to things. He's a good athlete and combine that with his experience and that's what made things work for him."
Entering the postseason, George Washington had not allowed more than one goal in any game during the regular season, but Capital (two) and South Charleston (three) combined to score more on GW in the first two playoff games than the rest of the Patriots' opponents had combined to score (four) all season.
Phillips said at the state tournament that his goal entering the season was to get 19 shutouts, and with 16 on his record after the sectional round, he knew reaching that goal would be a challenge.
Hopper said the team took to Phillips' direction, and the results showed on the pitch.
"Obviously, he knows those guys, and he knew how to direct them," Hopper said. "They were where he wanted them to be and to their credit they listened. They never questioned what he was doing back there."
Phillips was aided in that shutout quest by a pair of fellow first-team all-state players - midfielder Daniel Glines (10 goals scored) and defender Connor Boyd. Scoring goals was a concern Phillips said he had for the team prior to the season, but as things progressed, that worry turned to confidence.
"I've been playing with them my whole life," he said. "I was more concerned with the players up top and our goal scoring because I knew we had a strong back. We build from the back up and our guys got it done."
George Washington led all schools with five first- or second-team selections.
GW's state championship game opponent, Parkersburg, placed two players on the first team. Goalkeeper Reid Strobel and midfielder Evan Rhodes, who received a red card after the state championship game for a profanity-laced outburst toward the officials, were honored.
Oak Hill's Jacob Kemlock, Buckhannon-Upshur's Marty Elliott and Martinsburg's Tristen Reid were chosen as first-team forwards. Joining Glines and Rhodes in the first-team midfield are Huntington's Max Simpson and Hurricane's Guillermo Ugarte.
The first-team defenders are Boyd, South Charleston's Devonyet Harris, Jefferson's Austin Doughty and Wheeling Park's Grant Robertson.
Austin Ballengee from Riverside and Musselman's Michael Martin are the second-team goalkeepers. Also on the second team are forwards Jack Wiles from St. Albans, Drew Davis from George Washington and Jo Jo Greely-Fay from Ripley.
Winfield's Jesse Richmond (10 goals), Washington's Ben Capriolo, Parkersburg's Tyler Bro and Oak Hills John Hardman are the second-team midfielders. The second-team defenders are Buckhannon-Upshur's Dylan Hall, Woodrow Wilson's Matt Sumpter, Oak Hill's Grant Whitmore and George Washington's Bailey Johnson.

Time Warner Cable and a trade group won a U.S. court ruling freeing cable operators from a requirement to keep carrying independent channels during fee disputes.
The U.S. Appeals Court in New York said Wednesday that the Federal Communications Commission violated administrative rules by not giving sufficient notice in 2011 when it adopted the standstill requirement for continued carriage as disputes were resolved.
The court upheld the underlying rule that requires cable companies to offer fair terms to independent channels seeking display on multichannel systems.
"The challenged standstill rule was not promulgated in accordance" with the Administrative Procedures Act, the appeals court wrote in its opinion. The court said the FCC could try again to pass the rule following proper procedure.
"I am pleased that the court of appeals upheld the commission's program carriage rules against constitutional challenge," Mignon Clyburn, acting chairwoman of the FCC, said in an emailed statement. "These rules remain necessary to prevent anticompetitive conduct by video programming distributors, and they empower consumers to access a rich and diverse mix of programming."
The FCC had ordered cable companies to continue contracts with independent networks as the agency heard disputes about terms for carrying the channels. The action was aimed at keeping cable companies from squelching competing video providers.
At the time, the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, the plaintiff alongside Time Warner Cable in today's case, in an emailed statement from its president, Michael Powell, said the FCC's action showed "a disturbing lack of appreciation of the potential impact of government intervention on consumers or the marketplace."
Members of the Washington-based trade group include the largest U.S. cable company, Comcast, and No. 2 Time Warner.
Justin Venech, a spokesman for New York-based Time Warner Cable, said in an email that the company was pleased with the standstill ruling. Brian Dietz, a spokesman for the trade group, said he wasn't immediately able to comment.
Requiring carriage during adjudication "could undermine good-faith business negotiations," chill cable companies' willingness to test new networks "and drive up programming costs for consumers," Kathryn Zachem, Comcast's senior vice president for regulatory and state legislative affairs, said in a phone call to an FCC official in 2011, according to a regulatory filing.
The FCC when it passed the rule said without a standstill, cable companies could retaliate against independent vendors that filed complaints by ceasing to carry their programming. Vendors may feel compelled to agree to cable company demands that violate U.S. rules rather than lose carriage, the FCC said in an order.

A Quote by sam harris on belief, religion, stem cell, and stem cell research
There are sources of irrationality other than religious faith, of course, but none of them are celebrated for their role in shaping public policy. Supreme Court justices are not in the habit of praising our nation or its reliance upon astrology, or for its wealth of UFO sightings, or for exemplifying the various reasoning biases that psychologists have found to be more or less endemic to our species. Only mainstream religious dogmatism receives the unqualified support of government. And yet, religious faith obscures uncertainty where uncertainty manifestly exists, allowing the unknown, the implausible, and the patently false to achieve primacy over facts.
Consider the present debate over research on human embryonic stem cells. The problem with this research, from the religious point of view is simple: it entails the destruction of human embryos. The embryos in question will have been cultures in vitro (not removed from a woman's body) and permitted to grow for three to five days. AT this stage of development, an embryo is called a blastocyst and consists of about 150 cells arranged in a microscopic sphere. Interior to the blastocyst is a small group of about 30 embryonic stem cells. These cells have two properties that make them of such abiding interest to scientists: as stem cells, they can remain in an unspecialized state, reproducing themselves through cell division for long periods of time (a population of such cells living in culture is known as a cell line); stem cells are also pluripotent, which means they have the potential to become any specialized cell in the human body – neurons of the brain and spinal chord, insulin-producing cells of the pancreas, muscle cells of the heart, and so forth.
Here is what we know. We know that much can be learned from research on embryonic stem cells. In particular, such research nay give us further insight into the processes of cell division and cell differentiation. This would almost certainly shed new light on those medical conditions, like cancer and birth defects, that seem to be merely a matter of processes gone awry. We also know that research on embryonic cells requires the destruction of human embryos at the 150-cell stage. There is not the slightest reason to believe, however, that such embryos have the capacity to sense pain, to suffer, or to experience the loss of life in any way at all. What is indisputable is that there are millions of human beings who do have these capacities, and who currently suffer from traumatic injuries to the brain and spinal chord. Millions more suffer from Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. Millions more suffer from stroke and heart disease, from burns, from diabetes, from rheumatoid arthritis, from Purkinje cell degeneration, from Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and from vision and hearing loss. We know that embryonic stem cells promise to be a renewable source of tissues and organs that might alleviate such suffering in the not to distant future.
Enter faith: we now find ourselves living in a world in which college-educated politicians hurl impediments in the way of such research because they are concerned about the fate of single cells. Their concern is not merely that a collection of 150 cells may suffer its destruction. Rather, they believe that even a human zygote (a fertilized egg) should be accorded all the protections of a fully developed human being. Such a cell, after al, has the potential to become a full developed human being.. But given our recent advances in the biology of cloning, as much can be said of almost every cell in the human body. By the measure of a cell's potential whenever the president scratches his nose he is now engaged in a diabolical culling of souls.
Out of deference to some rather poorly specified tenets of Christine doctrine (after all, nothing in the Bible suggests that killing human embryos, or even human fetuses, is the equivalent of killing a human being), the U.S. House of Representatives voted effectively to ban embryonic stem-cell research on February 27, 2003.
No rational approach to ethics would have led us to such an impasse. Our present policy on human stem cells has been shaped by beliefs that are divorced from every reasonable intuition we might form about the possible experience of living systems. In neurological terms, we surely visit more suffering upon this earth by killing a fly than by killing a human blastocyst, to say nothing of a human zygote (flies, after all, have 100,000 cells in their brains alone). Of course, the point at which we fully acquire our humanity, and or capacity to suffer, remains an open question. But anyone who would dogmatically insist that these traits must arise coincident with the moment of conception has nothing to contribute, apart from his ignorance, to this debate. Those opposed to therapeutic stem-cell research on religious grounds constitute the biological and ethical
Equivalent of a flat-earth society. Our discourse on the subject should reflect this. In this area of public policy alone, the accommodations that we have made to faith will do nothing but enshrine a perfect immensity of human suffering for decades to come.

text: They usually ask the audience even at resource conferences, how many of you have more than 5% of their portfolio assets in gold? I have been at a conference in Singapore two days ago, among 500 people involved in real estate, not one had more than 5% of his assets in gold. I guess most of them did not have any gold at all, and so if someone tells me it is a bubble, I can tell you in year 1999-2000, the whole world was gambling in NASDAQ stocks, in telecom stocks and the media companies everywhere in the world. Now most people that I know have actually already sold their gold.

[Sponsored Video] Samsung Galaxy Note gets an upsize to 10.1
The Samsung Galaxy Note has been making headway for the Korean electronics giant since it's first release with a 5.3-inch dimension, which is larger than most smartphones in the current market. Advertising efforts has also been focused on it's ability to allow for quick document edits, through the use of a stylus that comes with the "phone tablet".
Samsung is now back with a more powerful instalment of the Note, in he form of the Galaxy Note 10.1. Samsung has promised to have the stylus-equipped Android tablet on store shelves "globally" by the end of this month.
In fact, the Note 10.1 is essentially the same device as the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, except for a spec bump and the addition of Samsung software that allows you to put the S Pen to task scribbling out quick annotations, taking screenshots, and editing photos, among other things.
The tablet comes with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) installed, though Samsung's TouchWiz interface is layered on top as usual. For those who are used to Samsung's blend of colorful icons and proprietary apps, the Galaxy Note 10.1 will seem very familiar.
Equipped with a 1.4GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM, the Note 10.1 offers a fine spec upgrade over Samsung's previous 10-inch tablet efforts, while also expanding the Note lineup.
In terms of connectivity, the initial release will only be in WiFi and 3G varieties, with an LTE version only coming later in the year.
While waiting for more detailed reviews, why not take a look at a simple video introduction of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 below?

12 Responses to "Elliott Wave update on Nestle India"
In your chart, your used a new mark "K" , what does it mean?
Dear Ramki, I would be pleased to remind you of the price of Nestle in about a month.
I would like to discuss the alternate count as follows:
Nestle has finished its 5th wave at 5024 and started its ABC correction from there.
Larger wave A might have finished at 4401.
Larger wave B is forming a contracting Triangle with internal waves a,b, c, d,e.
Int wave a ended at 4750, b at 4421, c at 4640, d at 4419 and e is ongoing which will end at approximately 4605-4625.
Larger wave C will then correct down.
Pl correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks and Regards.
(i) ka = kb
what is the significance ? What inferences can we draw from the given fact ?
(ii) Closing below 4340.
It kind of a confirms the ongoing formation of diagonal triangle.
If it does not happens so then recount b-c as 1-2-3 –
Am I right sir in my understanding
(iii)If it does not happens so then recount b-c as 1-2-3 – start of a new impulsive wave.
Dear Ramki, I read your analysis of Elliot Wave Chart with great interest. Could you please do an Elliot Wave analysis for Australian market ASX200, code XJO. Thanks, Teresa
Hi Ramki Sir
i am following the price of Nestle and RCOM. just to inform you, Nestle has closed at 4370 which is very close to your level of 4340. shall certainly tell you if it slides below your level.
thanks and regards
Hello Ramki Sir
certainly intimate you RCOM at 44
thanks, with kind regards
though i dont like elliot wave analysis as its too vague a concept, i found your analysis worth reading. ur honest in ur approach unlike others. i admire u for that & i am proud 2b an indian.
but nestle is not in F&O, so even if it falls, its of no use till it reaches its bottom from where we can pick it up. so how this analysis will help us?

Former Highlands County deputy arrested on drug charges
SEBRING - A former Highlands County deputy and his wife were arrested Thursday on drug and arson charges, stemming from the investigation of a fire earlier this year at their home, according to a press release from the Highlands County Sheriff's Office. Hiram Obregon, 43, and Lissette Obregon, 41, were arrested by the Highlands County Sheriff's Office and charged with arson, possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana, producing marijuana and owning or leasing a structure for the purpose of trafficking, sale or manufacturing a controlled substance. Hiram Obregon was originally a police officer with Avon Park and was hired by the sheriff's office after that agency took over law enforcement in the city, the press release said. But he was terminated on July 3, 2013, after the sheriff's office received a complaint of erratic driving, the press release said.Two weeks later, on July 17, the investigation of the fire at 3335 Northern Blvd., Lake Placid, led to the arrests this week, the report said.

The re-opening of Roanoke's Elmwood Park will be delayed by a month, the city announced Thursday afternoon.
According to a news release from the City of Roanoke, the delays were caused by weather.
As a result, the date for the first event at Elmwood Park has been pushed back to Saturday, Oct. 19. The first event is Roanoke Symphony Orchestra and Southwest Virginia Ballet's performance of "Peter and the Wolf."
Additionally, construction at the Library Terrace is expected to be finished in November. The city is planning a special event for spring 2014 to kick off the festival season.
Here is the news release from the City of Roanoke:
Roanoke, VA - The City of Roanoke announces that the completion of the Elmwood Park Improvement Project will be delayed by approximately one month, barring any unforeseen weather challenges. This delay is the result of weather conditions which prevented the contractor from working on the construction site.
As a result, the date set for the first event in the park has been rescheduled to Saturday, Oct. 19. On that date, the city's Parks and Arts Program will conclude its series of activities with a performance of "Peter and the Wolf" by the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra and the Southwest Virginia Ballet, which will be the first performance in the park's amphitheater.
Other performers and visual art activities will also be showcased as part of the activities.
Local contractors are working diligently to finish the project. In addition, construction of the Library Terrace is ongoing and the
completion of this component of the park is projected for November. A special event to be held in the park is in the early planning stages and will be scheduled for spring 2014 to kick off the festival season.

Prior to joining the Red Wings, Wojociechowski was a member of the Thunder Bay Junior Hockey League, the Thunder Bay Senior Hockey League, the Ontario Senior Hockey Association, and the Winnipeg National Defense Hockey League.
The 1944-45 season saw Wojociechowski make his NHL debut with the Red Wings, where in 54 games he scored 19 goals and 21 assists for 40 points. Although he finished fifth in Red Wings scoring, Wojociechowski joined the Indianapolis Capitols of the American Hockey League for the 1945-46 season, while playing 17 games for the Omaha Knights in the United States Hockey League.
Wojociechowski returned to the Red Wings line-up for the 1946-47 season, while playing in only four games before being sent once again to Indianapolis. In June 1947 Wojociechowski was traded to the Cleveland Barons of the AHL and two months later to the Philadelphia Rockets of the same league.
After two seasons with Philadelphia (1947-49), Wojociechowski was on his way back to Cleveland and the Barons for the next four, leading the team in scoring in 1951-52 and leading them to the 1953 Calder Cup championship.
In summer of 1953, Wojocieowski was dealt to the Buffalo Bisons (AHL) where he spent the entire 1953-54 season and parts of the 1954-55 season before being traded to the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the Northern Ontario Hockey Association where he ended his playing career.
