What's the attraction?
From a festive shopping point of view, Christmas is already just round the corner, and the hunt is on to find those perfect gifts to place under the tree. If the prospect seems daunting, why not take your retail ramblings off to new territory and combine them with a pre-Christmas break in Britain or beyond? Many European cities offer festive events to get you in the swing, while others tempt with trinkets that you'll be unlikely to find on UK high streets. Whether you opt for the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens, or Bath's Christmas market, there should be plenty of seasonal cheer.
Souk it and see
Hopping over to Marrakech has never been easier, with British Airways (0844 493 0787; ba.com) relaunching its link from Gatwick and BMI (0844 848 4888; flybmi.com) starting flights from Heathrow. The Moroccan city offers an exotic blast in the winter months, with its bustling souks. The cogno- scenti make a beeline for the homewares on sale at Mustapha Blaoui's Trésor des Nomades, 142 Rue Bab Doukkala (00 212 524 38 5240). Tchaikana, 25 Derb el Ferrane (00 212 524 385 150; tchaikana.com) is a restored riad with doubles from €90 per night.
A capital Christmas
Festive shopping in London needn't start and end on Oxford Street, although the crush will be eased when it and Regent Street close to traffic on 10 and 11 December for a shopping event (westendlondon.com/vip). A more intimate experience takes place every Wednesday evening from 30 November to 21 December on Columbia Road in east London (columbiaroad.info), where you can browse quirky boutiques. Tomorrow, from 5-9pm, more than 100 shops, bars and restaurants will take part in the Carnaby Shopping Party (carnaby.co.uk).
Design details
Copenhagen is already in full seasonal swing with the Christmas market at the Tivoli Gardens (00 45 33 15 10 01; tivoli.dk). The city is also renowned for contemporary design found in shops such as Illums Bolighus (00 45 33 14 19 41; illumsbolighus. com) and Normann (00 45 35 55 44 59; normann-copenhagen.com). SAS (0871 226 7760; flysas.com) flies to Copenhagen from Heathrow, Birmingham, Manchester and Aberdeen; easyJet (0843 104 5000; easyJet.com), British Airways (0844 493 0787; ba.com) and Norwegian (00 47 21 49 00 15; norwegian.no) also serve the city.
Glühwein and gingerbread
European cities are putting up their wooden huts, unfurling the fairy lights and hanging up the wreaths. Germany is the pre-eminent player in the world of Christmas markets, with glühwein and gingerbread galore. The oldest is reputedly Dresden's Striezelmarkt, now in its 577th year and on from 24 November to 24 December (dresden.de and germany.travel).
Last year, Vienna played host to 21 Advent markets, and this year the main event is the Rathausplatz market, with more than 150 stalls in front of the City Hall (austria.info). The Belgian city of Bruges provides a scenic backdrop to its annual Christmas market from 25 November to 3 January. Until 9 January, Cresta (0844 879 8014; crestaholidays.co.uk) is offering three nights in Bruges from £155 per person, including return Eurostar travel and accommodation with breakfast.
There are plenty of festive goings-on around the UK, too. Tomorrow, the largest traditional-style German market outside Germany comes to Birmingham with the opening of its Frankfurt market – 180 wooden chalets take over Victoria Square, selling everything from hand-crafted items to lebküchen (visitbirmingham.com). Bath will be hosting its annual Christmas market (bathchristmasmarket.com) from 24 November to 11 December.
How bazaar
There's a gift for even the most hard-to-buy-for friend in Istanbul's Grand Bazaar. Its warren-like lanes are thronged by over 1,500 vendors, who sell everything from traditional ikat textiles and leather handbags to antique jewellery and porcelain. From now until 14 December, Exclusive Escapes (020-8605 3500; exclusiveescapes.co.uk) is offering three nights in Istanbul for £620 per person, based on two sharing staying at Stablesgate House in Sultanahmet. The price includes return flights from Heathrow.
City of light
When it is en fête in the run up to Christmas, Paris more than lives up to its dazzling moniker. A seasonal highlight is always the Champs-Elysées, festooned under an elegant display of thousands of twinkling lights. The lower reaches are lined with dozens of wooden huts for a festive market from 19 November to 2 January (parisinfo.com). There are also plenty of opportunities to pick up unique presents in the city's stylish boutiques and department stores.
Eurostar (08432 186 186; eurostar.com) has some midweek availability for £69 return fares from London to Paris in the run-up to Christmas. Present your ticket at Galleries Lafayette to get a 10 per cent discount on goods.
By royal appointment
The shelves groan with elegant homeware, covetable decorations and tempting food at the Highgrove Shop on Prince Charles' country estate in Gloucestershire. The elegant Montpellier Chapter Hotel (01242 527 788; chapterhotels.com) in Cheltenham is offering an overnight package with an invitation-only shopping day at the shop on either 7 or 14 December. Shoppers will get the chance to browse the goods (pictured below) then repair to the Highgrove Tea Shop for a cream tea. The package costs £120 per person, based on two sharing and includes B&B and entrance to Highgrove.

Insider information
"For holiday shopping in Paris, my tip is to start early. Right now, there are lots of special, invite-only sales going on where you can get good deals on the latest merchandise. Search online for ventes privées or ventes presses in Paris to find them. Other than that, the best tip is to get your shopping done this month. Don't wait until the last minute when stores are crowded and the pressure is high."

text: To put it frankly, I live in the past. Those who know me think I'm weird and insane, and those who don't even more so. I am a (bad) singer/songwriter and love writing prose. I want to study English Lit at uni if I can afford it, then who knows where fate will take me? I seriously want a Vespa, and by seriously I mean I will sell almost everything I have to get one. The problem is, all I really have is mounds of books and cheap records, so getting the 2 grand I need won't be that easy. Writing is a way to get my insane ideas out onto paper (or a Word document) before I overflow and explode with whatever I think of, and believe me, there's a lot to come. Watch out.

Kahr PM9093N, 9MM 7+1, $890.00
Have you considered the Kahr CW9? Mine was $399 NIB, and is only slightly larger than the PM9. It has been very reliable, even during break-in. I looked at the Kel-Tec, it just didn't fit me as well as the Kahr.

PF-9. I think Kel-Tec makes good guns for the $$.

I'm not pro gun, I'm pro rights. What are you?
NRA Member
As others have said, you're price is way too high on the PM9. I'd definitely go with the Kahr over Keltec if I could afford the "real" price difference. I believe they're much better made and I know the Kahr trigger is far superior to that of the Keltec. Size difference is negligable. So to me, it's only the price.
If I were to give another small nod to the PF9 it would be the grip size. You get a fuller grip withthe PF9 compared to the PM9. How important this is depends on how you're going to carry. If in pocket the PM9 is better, if holster, then it doesn't matter.
OldTXCop has nailed it. The Kahr CW9 (or .40) is the way to go. Locally they go for $389. You get thin and light with a great grip shape, smooth trigger, and outstanding reliability. What's not to like?
If money is not an issue, by the Kahr. If it is a big consideration, buy the PF-9 and carry it while you save up the money for the Kahr. When you get the Kahr you can sell the Kel-Tec.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Where self preservation is concerned, if you're not cheating, your not trying...
I chose Kel-Tec mainly because it is cost effective. Both are pretty reliable.
I'd go with the Kahr and in fact did. BTW, I paid $650 OTD for mine brand new w/DLC treatment and night sights. Right now it resides in a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster ($14) until my K&D 2-in-1 pocket holster ($55) arrives. It feeds on Federal HST 147g but I'm looking to pick up some Winchester Ranger RA9T 147g to try out. I'm happy with my choices.
Well, well, well..
Honestly, I am not trying to start a caliber war.
I must say though...I believe 9mm to be insufficient except for perhaps deep cover or "backup" status. Especially when you can also have an infinitely more efficient and effective caliber in the S&W .40.
The Kahr PM40 is an awesome choice. There are also many many other .40 or .45 ACP choices available to you. Remember, you are defending your LIFE.
For now, I'd have to pass on both your proposed pistols.
Just my humble opinion.
"If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men." Romans 12:18
...if not...be prepared to meet Mr.10mm, .45, .40 or any one of their little brothers.
Lets see,...Every Keltec Ive ever seen goes "bang" everytime you pull the trigger (reliable.) Its easily concealable, has readily available holsters in many different styles,shapes,colors,options,and brand preferences. They have an outstanding warrenty,very accurate (for me at least),fits MY hand well,and its less expensive.
And Ive heard plenty and seen plenty of threads dealing with folks having problems with Kahrs. Higher priced weapon,does not neccesarily mean a better weapon.
"To blame a gun for a mans decision is to foolishly attribute free will to an inanimate object"- Colion Noir.
I looked LONG and HARD at the Kahrs for my CCW. I waited for close to a year for the range to get their 3 models back (9, 40, 45) from the manufacturer - the range was claiming the mfr was having a parts issue. When I finally saw all three back in, I tried each caliber out. The single stack mag and thinness and reported reliability had me sold. I came away thoroughly disappointed.
I had FTE (after firing), stovepiping and chambering problems across all 3 calibers (some models had multiple issues). These events were were the final straw that pushed me to Glock (only cause SIG is more expensive). I want a weapon that has a high reliability with a minimum of fuss, and the Glock meets that.
So, to answer your question, Kel Tec.
PF9. Got 2. Neither been back to factory. Never shot a PM9. They probably fine too. Just rather have 2 PF9s plus all the ammo u can buy for same $ as 1 pm9.
The trigger on the Kahr puts the Kel-Tec to shame... I owned a P11 for several years, and now I own a Kahr MK9. My MK9 won't be going anywhere any time soon.
There is an obvious difference in the quality between the two if you have owned both, trust me. However, if you need to save money then the KT will work.
Oh and like SixTo said, that price is way high for a PM9. Around here I would find one around the $600 range.
"When among wild beasts, if they menace you, be a wild beast."
-Herman Melville
PF9s go for around $245 NIB around here and trigger much better than P11.

Complicated: Chapter 18
"So, what did you and Mum talk about while me and Aiden were upstairs?" I asked Justin as we sat in the spare room after Mum had finished "first aiding" him.
"Well … y'know … stuff" he replies, clearly anxious to tell me. I urge him to tell me more so he says, "we talked about where we went tonight and how I got these" Justin made circular motions with his hand around the bruises on his face. "And what did you tell her happened?" I question further.
"I said Ryan beat me up, but I said nothing more than that. Well, I'm tired. Do you mind if I go to sleep now?"
"Sure" I stood up and started towards the door, but I stopped and walked back to him; now in the bed. I bent towards him and kissed him before saying "Thanks for tonight. It was brilliant of you to think to take me out to get my mind off things". I looked straight into his brilliantly deep brown eyes while pulling away from the kiss and speaking. It took all my strength to not show my anger or take it out on the side of his face in a good old fashioned slap.
I was half hoping he'd say that wasn't the main reason but, unfortunately, all he replied was, "No problem, anytime Eri" with a smile that looked like it could kill (if he had enough energy at this point in time, that is).
I gave him one last quick kiss before turning off the light, shutting the door and walking down the hallway to my room 2 doors down. I sat on my bed and let out a tiny scream of frustration before lying down and drifting slowly to a deep sleep for the first time in nearly 2 weeks.

My 2 girls are in their 4th year of cheerleading. Unhappy at their old club as their tumble skills weren't progressing past level 1 despite weekly tumble classes. We moved clubs to ACE and less than 9 months later my girls who are 7 and 11 are doing level 3/4 tumbling. Their coach Hannah has really shown them the way and my girls are thriving with new skills constantly happening!! They love it at ACE, have made awesome friends and really enjoy cheer and dance.
ACE is an amazing club to be at. The coaches are amazing at what they do, they're super friendly and have taught so many at the club new skills. Cheer has been great at building my daughters confidence and she's made so many new friends in such a short time.
My daughter has been doing cheerleading for 4 years now and have been with ACE for just over 12 months. The coaches here are so professional, patient and positive, they are constantly encouraging the children to be their best! We love the competitions, travel and the success we experience with this club and are so thankful we joined when we did. Competitive Cheerleading is a great sport with so many opportunities and Adelaide Cheer Evolution is the best team we've found.

Very cosy homely feeling
This apartment has a wonderful homely feeling to it. It's very tastefully furnished and to a very high standard. The artwork was amazing and beds very comfortable. It ticked every box for us. Everything was provided including firewood and we spent most evenings around the fire eating fondue etc. I can't think of anything negative to say. Teresa at Hodel is so friendly and helpful. I would most certainly recommend this property.

Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue is the second title in the Ty the Tasmanian Tiger series for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, and Game Boy Advance developed by Krome Studios and published by Electronic Arts in 2004. It was released in North America on October 12, 2004 and later released in PAL regions on November 5, 2004.
A port for Microsoft Windows was digitally released via Steam Early Access on March 20th, 2017.[1]
Ty is set in Southern Rivers, a rural countryside containing many small divisions, such as Bush Rescue HQ, Burramudgee, and various small areas. The game has a limited open-world feeling, allowing Ty to explore all of the environment driving a truck within the road pathways. While most gameplay is on foot, you will occasionally man vehicles/objects, which include trucks, mechanical body suits, submarines, turrets and go-karts.
You progress through the game by completing missions, which can range from helping town citizens to delivering items from one point to another, destroying crucial objects, and defeating certain enemies/bosses. After completing every few missions, one crucial storyline mission follows, which progresses your game further and unlocks new areas. One of Ty's trademark attacks are boomerangs, of which two can be thrown at one time to defeat enemies, glide after jumps/falls, manipulate objects, create/clear pathways, and utilize objects for maneuvers. Ty can also use the bite attack, which lunges himself at the nearest enemy, crate, or object with a large jaw chomp. There is Sly's Boomerang Shop that you spend opals at to get more powerful boomerangs.
Following from where Ty the Tasmanian Tiger left off, Ty defeats the cassowary Boss Cass by using the Doomerang given by his brother Sly in the previous game. Boss Cass is detained as a result of that incident. After Ty returns the last talisman, his family returns from the Dream Time and Rainbow Cliffs is saved.
Some time after Cass' first defeat, Ty and his girlfriend Shazza are informed by Ranger Ken that Boss Cass has escaped from Currawong Jail and has set up his own country called Cassopolis, saying that he has diplomatic immunity. Dennis, the australian green tree frog, has formed "Bush Rescue", an organization to stop Cass. As part of Bush Rescue, Ty goes on a number of missions all around the Southern Rivers such as transporting valuable items, rescuing civilians, and stopping Cass's evil lizard minions. On one mission, Ty has to face Patchy the Cybersaur (an Ankylosaurus with robotic enhancements on his head, tail, and back) who was sent by Fluffy: Cass' new assistant who is a thorny devil. Then while trying to stop a fire on an oil platform, Fluffy uses Buster, a monster formed by yellow nanobots joining together, to distract Ty so she could steal a shadow drive from the rig. Cass then uses the drive to mix warm blooded strength from mammals with the lizard's cold blooded ferocity and weapons to make "Uber Repitles". During a battle with Fluffy, Ty manages to steal a Data N.U.T. and gives it to Julius the koala, Bush Rescue's lead scientist, for analysis. From the NUT, Cass' evil plan is revealed just as Cass kidnaps Burramudgee to use their warm blood for "Uber Reptiles" Ty, Sly, and Shazza go to his lair to stop him. Shazza uses a standard Battle Bunyip, Sly uses his custom-made "Missile Bunyip", and Ty uses the new Shadow Bunyip. After once again defeating Patchy and Buster, Sly and Shazza go to free the residents of Burramudgee and Ty goes to defeat Boss Cass. Just before she leaves, Shazza gives Ty a kiss for luck. Ty and Cass then face off in the middle of a volcano. Cass summons a bunch of green nanobots capable of joining together into a long armed robot to destroy Ty but he destroys it and defeats Cass. Once they get back, Ty, Sly, and Shazza receive medals of bravery and honor. Later Boss Cass is seen in prison carrying out lunch duty and serving food to all of his lizard minions.
Television series[edit]
It was announced in 2004 that Film Roman and Krome Studios was developing an animated series based on the video game series.[2] No further reports, however, have been made since then, and the project is believed to be cancelled. Krome studios confirmes that TY tv series got cancelled since no networks had interest in picking up the show.

The stiletto on the tableMature
I retraced my steps through the seedy back-alleys of the city, places I've walked from an early age. These back-alleys are like my veins and arteries: twisted, polluted, and leading to a dark and crumbling heart. I feel comfortable here, and it's always a slight wrench to have to venture back out into the daylight and the relatively clean streets of the burg.
Outside the coffee-house the hook-nosed woman in her three-piece suit was having hysterics over the loss of her dog. By the looks of it she'd already thrown the contents of her paper takeaway coffee cup over a traffic warden, and I could see a policeman approaching rapidly from behind her. I sighed, the police would undoubtedly recognise the stiletto as evidence from a crime and want to know what I was doing with it. I'm known in most police stations in this city, but not for being on the right side of the desk. When I was younger I used to take part in identification parades for the cash, until the fifth time I was picked out by a witness and the police arrested me on suspicion of being suspicious. That was just the start of a long time of meeting the police and us both wishing that we'd looked the other way.
I went into the coffee-house anyway, if I could at least hide the shoe until the police had gone I'd be able to leave discreetly.
Miss Sapphire was sitting at the table I'd had previously, toying with the stiletto in her leather-gloved hands. I paused in the doorway, trying to stamp down on the twisted emotion that rose inside me. Miss Sapphire is a woman I've never dared to love, and there isn't a day goes by that I don't remind myself why. She looked up, and met me with a piercing blue gaze that sent shivers down my spine.
"McArthur," she said, with minimal disgust in her voice. "I thought this had to belong to you. What other worm in this city would walk off leaving the evidence behind?"
"Miss Sapphire," I said, trying to make my voice sound more like a purr than a growl. I only managed to sound like a hyena with bronchitis.
"Oh, you can have it back," she said. "I'm here to give you a message from Mad Frankie." Mad Frankie, the guy who'd cauterised my tear ducts to stop me giving him the evil eye, and whose close henchmen were popularly known as the Anger Management. "He says that a dear friend of his has met an untimely end."
"Mad Frankie liked Dick?"
"Trust you to make it sound sordid, McArthur." Miss Sapphire laid the stiletto down on the table and reached into her handbag, a powder blue clasp bag, and pulled out a gin miniature. "Policitians need men of power, and Mad Frankie..."
"Mad Frankie liked having the Mayor where he could see him," I said flatly. "You know darlin', I've been around this burg for long enough. I know Mad Frankie, I knew Dick. I can see how this sausage party goes."
She raised an eyebrow at me, and I wondered if I'd overstepped a line.
"However you choose to describe their... acquaintance," she said carefully, "Mad Frankie does not like having his --"
"Employees?" I suggested. I've never been one to tiptoe across the tightrope with my arms spread wide for balance. I prefer to dance on the edge of the precipice and spit in the devil's eye.
"Hah." No trace of laughter in her voice. "Find out who did for Dick, McArthur. Mad Frankie wants to know."
"I'm already looking," I said, holding my hand out and nodding toward the shoe. "Dick's ladyfriend asked me first."
Miss Sapphire knocked the miniature back in one, her head tilting backwards revealing an alabaster neck like that of a swan, and her brunette hair fell from her shoulders to past the level of her seat. Then she stood, and approached me, and pressed the shoe into my hands as she placed her lips by my ear.
"I know you don't care for Pussy, Mac. But I also know you do care for what's left of your rotten little soul. Find the killer, and tell Mad Frankie, and then leave it all alone."
My skin tingled, the raw alcohol fumes washing over it and reminding me of better times in bars that have long since been condemned. My eyes closed unconsciously, and I rocked on my feet, turning my face to hers to drink in those blissful gin-fumes.
I opened my eyes again, and Miss Sapphire was gone.

Slim Down Summertime Cookouts
Timeless Nutrition Tip
Following are three quick tips on how you can easily slim down your summertime cookouts without losing fun or flavor.
1. Significantly reduce the fat in marinades by replacing all but one tablespoon of oil with fat-free broth or mild flavored fruit and vegetable juices.
2. Buy healthier franks made from turkey or chicken instead of the usual high-fat beef and pork hot dogs. Or, if you love the beef - we relate - buy the lean, all-beef varieties of weiners and be sure the package states "NO fillers".
3. For fat-free flavor, use wood chips that are available in most specialty food stores. Soak them in water before placing them over hot coals. Try:
- Alder for seafood and poultry.
- Apple for vegetables.
- Hickory for beef.
If you have never used these flavors before, consider purchasing a Charcoal Companion Hickory, Mesquite and Apple Wood Chip Sampler Pack.
Slim Down Meats
- Trim visible fat from meats and remove the skin from poultry before eating.
- Bake, BBQ, broil, microwave, poach, or roast instead of frying.
- When you roast, place the meat on a rack so the fat can drip away.
Most of all, enjoy yourself!

Located in New York City, SCEPA is at the center of a network of leaders dedicated to progressive and innovative education and ideas.
SCEPA faculty are investigating the economics of climate change, from mitigation proposals to implementation.
SCEPA focuses on the U.S. economy, with an awareness of the global context of domestic economic developments.
A research institute within The New School's Economics Department, SCEPA is dedicated to collaboration between today's experts and tomorrow's leading economists.
SCEPA is working to reform a retirement system that is failing Americans.
- On Capitol Hill
- On Wall Street
- In the Press
- Policy Reform Work
Our projects are designed to empower policy makers to create positive change. With a focus on collaboration and outreach, we provide original, standards-based research on key policy issues.
SCEPA joined with the Economic Policy Institute on Capitol Hill to brief congressional staff and policy experts on tax expenditures, or incentives given through the tax code without scrutiny by Congress.
SCEPA economists are working on the prospects for a more progressive economic order to emerge from the shock of the recession. They have published papers and documents that place current events in a longer-term context as well as policy proposals to deal with short-term concerns. They are also documenting the emerging discussion of how the discipline of economics is reacting to the Great Recession and the questioning of conventional economic analysis.
Lance Taylor, a SCEPA Faculty Fellow, presents an overview of his new book, Maynard's Revenge, in a Google Tech Talk.
The book, published this November by Harvard University Press, is a timely analysis of mainstream macroeconomics, posing the need for a more useful and realistic economic analysis that can provide a better understanding of the ongoing global financial and economic crisis.
The government spends $143 billion through tax breaks in an effort to expand pension coverage and security. Yet, over half of the American workforce does not have a pension. Retirement insecurity hurts business plans, workers' lives and retiree well-being. Reform is needed.
SCEPA's Guaranteeing Retirement Income Project, sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation and in collaboration with Demos and the Economic Policy Institute, has a plan to guarantee safe and secure retirement income for all Americans.
The Climate Battle: From Science to Economics
- Details
by Rick McGahey, SCEPA Faculty Fellow
New rules from the Obama Administration to control emissions from coal-fired power plants signal a new phase in America's battle over climate change. The science is settled—climate change is occurring and it is caused by humans. Now we need to figure out the economics.
On Monday, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced tough new rules restricting emissions from power plants, requiring a thirty percent cut in their carbon emissions by the year 2030. But even though these new economic rules will be caught up in polarized political combat, they are a major step forward, and not just because of their beneficial environmental impact. They signal that the United States, however haltingly, is moving from denying the science on climate change to a necessary debate about how to control it and pay for the associated costs.
Even before the new rules were issued, attacks on them were intensifying. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce launched a pre-emptive strike last week, saying that the new power plant rules could cost up to $50 billion annually and lose hundreds of thousands of jobs.
Fighting back, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) claimed that the Chamber's negative economic estimates are wildly overstated, in part because the Chamber study doesn't recognize any of the new businesses and hundreds of thousands of jobs that will be created in alternative energy, other benefits from environmental clean-up, and lower electric bills as alternative energy gets to scale.
Many economists would say that NRDC has the better of the argument—regulations, when done correctly, can induce new jobs and businesses and technological innovation, while producing other social benefits like cleaner air and water.
Beyond Broke: Why Closing the Racial Wealth Gap is a Priority for National Economic Security
- Details
SCEPA economist, Darrick Hamilton recently coauthored the report, "Beyond Broke: Why Closing the Racial Wealth Gap is Priority for National Economic Security" with the Center for Global Policy Solutions, the Carolina Population Center at UNC, the Research Network for Racial and Ethnic Inequality at Duke University, and Milano Graduate School of International Affairs at The New School. The report evaluates wealth disparities across racial and ethnic categories by providing an in-depth analysis of housing and liquid wealth.
The report finds that:
• Between 2005 and 2011, the median net worth of households of color remained near 2009 levels, reflecting a drop of 58 percent for Latinos, 48 percent for Asians, 45 percent for African Americans but only 21 percent for whites.
• For most African Americans and Latinos, checking accounts are their only liquid asset.
• African Americans (38 percent) and Latinos (35 percent) are over twice as likely as whites (13 percent) to hold no financial assets at all and to have no or negative net worth.
This analysis provides new insight into the close interplay between race and place as it relates to America's persistent wealth gap. To address these issues, the report calls for Congress and the Administration to ensure that future mortgage settlements include the collection of racial/ethnic, gender, geographical and other demographic data to ensure that relief programs are transparent, fair, and target the hardest-hit communities. The report also calls for the Federal Housing Finance Agency to allow Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to perform principal reduction and loan modifications for distressed homeowners.
This report is part of the Closing the Racial Wealth Gap Initiative, which seeks to build awareness and support for efforts to address racial and ethnic wealth inequalities based on structural factors.
Just Say Yes- Bernard Schwartz Autobiography and Vision for America
- Details
Bernard L. Schwartz - an investor, a retired industrialist, a progressive public policy advocate and a philanthropist - recently published his autobiography, 'JUST SAY YES: What I've Learned About Life, Luck, and the Pursuit of Opportunity.'
JUST SAY YES is a story about a boy raised in Depression-era Brooklyn who grew up to become a giant in the aerospace business, a confidante of U.S. presidents, and a renowned international deal maker. From this lifetime of experience, Schwartz finds himself increasingly concerned about the future of the United States and its citizens due to the ever-increasing gap between the country's have's and have-not's. "Far too much emphasis is put on money and profit, instead of treating clients and customers as human beings. Our political leaders must also come back to the table, and start working together to improve the lives of all citizens." Without this effort, Schwartz fears that our glory days will remain behind us. As an "optimist by nature," Schwartz believes that American politics and business can change for the better.

The Surrender. Clurman Theatre (see Off Broadway). By Toni Bentley. Directed by Zishan Ugurlu. With Laura Campbell. Running time: 1hr 15mins. No intermission.
The Surrender: In brief
Free your ass, and your mind will follow: That's the message of dancer Toni Bentley's 2004 erotic memoir, in which anal sex leads to spiritual awakening. Now she and Isabelle Stoffel adapt it for the stage, in a production starring Laura Campbell and directed by Zishan Ugurlu.
The Surrender: Theater review by Helen Shaw
Toni Bentley's adaptation of her sexual memoir, The Surrender, couldn't be more ridiculous. Could it be less? Perhaps—but not when spoken by poor Laura Campbell, silk-robed and sipping room-temperature champagne. The more Campbell sashays, the sillier she is: Fake boudoirs aren't sexy; they're soapy. Even in better directorial hands, though, erotica's tough. What titillates in the mind's dark turns goofy under lights.
Bentley's thrust (hello!) is a first-person ode to anal sex. If you're prudish, don't worry; nothing cures inhibition like boredom. After many vaguely dissatisfying clitoral orgasms, she finds a partner who dominates her in bed. Phew! Certainly we aren't rooting for Bentley's romantic bliss, since her self-regard—she doesn't consider a stagehand "a peer"—is pretty total. She literally counts out her bottom-oriented bonks, assuring us that they've awakened a deep-seated (as it were!) spirituality. However, there's no textual evidence in her self-indulgent, ersatz lyricism that she's learned much more than how to kiss her own ass.—Theater review by Helen Shaw
THE BOTTOM LINE: It's awful—no ifs, ands or butts.

Downtown hotels off the top of my head:
Radisson (Never been)
Mariott (used to be a Radisson, now more fancy, price probably went up. has revolving restauraunt at top)
Delta (decent, has a pool/waterslide)
Minto Place (nice rooms)
Les Suites (don't remember)
Novotell right beside Les Suites, Byward Market, Rideau Centre)
Chateau Laurier (again, unnecessarily expensive (but cool to say you stayed at))
Best western (is close-ish to downtown)
Lord Elgin (again probably expensive, but I remember the breakfast being good
There are others that aren't huge chains, (and are closer to the tourist part of Downtown than, say, the Delta, Radisson, and Minto but I don't remember them, and haven't stayed at them. The ones I mentioned are all decent as I remember, but we had a family of five, and we couldn't all fit in a Novotell room in the usual fashion.
Anyways, there's lots of options I'm sure.
EDIT: If my memory serves me correctly, one of these smaller downtown hotels is a former jail (museum) where you can sleep in a cell, which sounds cool if you're into that sort of thing. Then you can tell your relatives you went to jail

This book describes the results of the Covered Catchment Project at Gardsjon in Sweden. This is a major project in which a large roof has been erected under a forest canopy to shelter the soil from acid rain in that area, which is replaced with clean rain to see whether the soil and water recovers from acidification, and if so, how quickly. The project has been underway for over five years and is producing interesting results which have important implications for emission control policy.

Vurdering av denne eiendommen
Great to stay here. Good informed and friendly staff. We stayed there for six days with our young children. Great location and you can access any sightseeing places at ease. I would recommend this place for everyone especially those who travel with young children. Thank you Darrick!
Nice new clean apartment. Very spacious and well furbished.
Helpful host.
Good restaurant next door. Convenience store within walking distance.
Will definitely try to book again next time I am in Singapore!
Das Zimmer war geräumig und prinzipiell war alles vorhanden, was man benötigt. Das Personal war nett und das Zimmer wurde sogar während unseren Aufenthalt gesäubert. Man ist in ca. 10 Minuten an der mrt (Somerset). Den Bus haben wir nie gebraucht. Zudem ist man in 10 Minuten an der orchard rd.
Coole Wohnung, völlig ausreichend für unseren kurzen Trip in Singapur.
Haben zu viert in der Wohnung geschlafen, war super.
Hatten alles drin und die Wohnung lag super zentral. Haltestelle vor der Tür, Metro um die ecke und zu Fuß war man auch überall schnell.
Alles sehr sauber.
Haben uns wohl gefühlt.
Gastgeber auch nett und ohne Probleme verlief der Check in.
Alles top

Stayed here 3 nights. I landed early in the morning, but the earliest time Darrick could arrange for check-in was 1 pm, but I was able to bring my luggage right after arrival, so this wasn't a problem for me. The bed and the bath were bath comfortable. The fridge was big enough to store some water and food in it. If you're not looking for luxus, e.g. when you only stay for transit in Singapur, the room is perfect, espacially for the low price. But it will work also for a longer stay, I'm sure. Would defenitly come back and recommend this!
According to description, well-located, well-organised, absolutely recommendable
I needed somewhere centrally located when I visited Singapore.
Wimdu communicated exceptionally well.
Once I made my decision on the accommodation, confirmation was swift and my host ensured clarification of my intentions.
The accommodation exceeded my expectation and the local knowledge shared onsite was invaluable.
All in all a great experience.

This post brought to you by TruMoo. All opinions are 100% mine.
I usually don't make milkshakes at home, but I think I have found a new reason to. Instead of heading to the local drive thru or ice cream stand, I can create a high quality milkshake with my blender, ice, ice cream, and some TruMoo Chocolate Milk. Consider me impressed.
Cool off with this sweet treat the next time you can. This chocolate cookie dough milkshake is creamy and cold–perfect for a hot summer day. I used a few ingredients to create this simple recipe, and I hope you enjoy it! My son liked the whipped cream.
I used just a few ingredients including TruMoo Chocolate Milk, whipped cream, cookie dough ice cream, and chocolate syrup. Keep reading for the recipe!
I tried to use ice cream that was full of cookie dough chunks. They are my favorite part!
- TruMoo Chocolate Milk
- Cookie Dough Ice Cream
- Chocolate Syrup
- Whipped Cream
- Cherries (optional)
- Add a handful of ice cubes to a blender along with 5 to 6 scoops of ice cream.
- Add 1 1/4 cups of TruMoo chocolate milk.
- Blend to desired consistency.
- Add chocolate syrup to the insides of your milkshake mug.
- Pour in milkshake.
- Top with whipped cream and a cherry.
The result is one creamy chocolate concoction!
If I had cherries, I totally would have used them as a garnish. A cherry on top is a nice touch! Want more recipe inspiration? Visit TruMoo on Facebook and TruMoo for more information.
What's your favorite kind of milkshake? Do you prefer chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry?

I ran into a very interesting issue with temp tables recently. The issue description goes something like this. We have an application preparing some SQL statements, and sending them to the SQL Database engine for execution. However, the "issue" is easily reproducible in SQL Server Management studio. The first batch of statements looks something like this:-
–Execution Set 1 starts
if exists(select* from tempdb..sysobjects where id=OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Tmp')and xtype='U')drop table #Tmp
'1'as A,
'2'as B
Into #Tmp
from #Tmp
–Execution Set 1 ends here
Next, we prepare and send the following set of statements, from the same session:-
–Execution set 2 starts
if exists(select* from tempdb..sysobjects where id=OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Tmp')and xtype='U')
drop table #Tmp
'3'as A,
'4'as B,
'The Troublemaker' as C
Into #Tmp
from #Tmp
–Execution Set 2 ends here
Upon execution, the second batch generates an error:-
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 11
Invalid column name 'c'.
It does seem that SQL Server is caching the temp table definition, and when the second batch of statements goes in (remember, it is being compiled as a complete batch), the "select from" statement is compiled against the existing temp table definition, and thus, fails. However, if we use a "Select * from" instead of "Select a,b,c" in the second batch, we're able to get the desired results. This is because when it actually gets to the execution of the "select from", the table definition has been changed, and it picks up the new definition.
I also found that adding a "go" statement after the "If exists…then drop table #Tmp" statement resolves the issue in Management studio. This is again expected, as the go statement acts as a batch separator, and since the table(as well as it's cached definition) has been dropped when the second select into statement (Batch 2) is parsed, it's able to create a new table using the statement.
Adding a "go" statement after the "select into" statement also resolves the issue, and again, this makes sense too, because the select into statement goes as a separate batch, and the select from as a different one, the table definition in the cache has been updated (as the select into statement was compiled and executed before the select from statement came along).
However, in my case, since the customer was using an application, using go was not possible (since go is not a T-SQL command, as documented here). Upon doing some detailed research, I found the following excerpt from the Books Online for "Create Table" (available here) to be relevant to the situation at hand (though the scenario is not the exact same one):-
"A local temporary table created within a stored procedure or trigger can have the same name as a temporary table that was created before the stored procedure or trigger is called. However, if a query references a temporary table and two temporary tables with the same name exist at that time, it is not defined which table the query is resolved against. Nested stored procedures can also create temporary tables with the same name as a temporary table that was created by the stored procedure that called it. However, for modifications to resolve to the table that was created in the nested procedure, the table must have the same structure, with the same column names, as the table created in the calling procedure."
So, in case if you ever face this issue, here are the possible workarounds:-
Connecting from SSMS (or sqlcmd or osql)
When connecting from SSMS, the simplest workaround is to insert a "go" statement in the second batch (after either of the first 2 statements), thereby breaking the batch into two batches. We can also try using a different temp table name, thereby eliminating the issue completely.
Connecting from Application
When connecting from an application, we can have the following workarounds:-
· Use a different temp table name
· Drop the temp table at the end of the first batch itself, rather than at the start of the second batch (which is what my customer used)
· Split the second batch into two batches, placing the "If exists…then drop table #tmp" statement and the other two "Select" statements in 2 separate batches.
Hope this helps someone. Please do let me know if you have any questions/doubts/comments related to the issue, or if you know of a different workaround for it.
