Buying a recliner isn't a difficult task, but it is something that requires a certain amount of effort. And I don't have to tell you that in this case, the ends justify the means. There is something special about leather rocker recliners. So you can collect them.ReplyDelete

Recently, Kelly Ripa had this to say about the alkaline diet: "It has changed my life […] And I swear I think it's responsible for me not being in pain." Kelly had suffered from what she called "strange injuries", and claims that the alkaline diet has taken the pain away. Could it be true? We believe so. To understand why the alkaline diet could have such a positive effect, one only has to analyze the content of the diet. It's high in fruits and vegetables It's high in certain nuts and other healthy fats It includes healthy grains It cuts back on or eliminates acid producing foods like dairy and meats It doesn't take a rocket scientist…Kelly Ripa Says Alkaline Diet Changed Her Life… [Read more]
Could pH optimized skin care be the next big thing for fighting the effects of aging on skin? We think it could. For centuries people have been searching for ways to combat the effects of aging. From skin creams to supplements to plastic surgery, the modern attempts at slowing aging range from various ineffective "DIY" methods to the greatest extremes currently possible with modern science. While science repeatedly assures us that there is no "true" fountain of youth, there are certainly steps that we can take to look better and feel better throughout the various stages of our lives. The Truth About pH and Skin The pH scale is a numeric scale with a range from 0…Is pH Optimized Skin Care a Tool For Anti Aging? [Read more]

A lot of people don't realize the impact that drinking carbonated drinks (such as sodas) has on their health. In addition to their other dietary drawbacks, carbonated drinks—even diet ones—are are highly acidic and lead to increased acidity in the body. Acidity is measured by the pH scale, which is technically a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. A lower number on the pH scale means higher acidity. A higher pH reading means higher alkalinity. Any pH lower than 7 is considered acidic, and any pH above 7 is considered alkaline. The body does best in a slightly alkaline state. The foods we eat and the things we drink can affect our acid/alkaline…What Is Your Body's Acid Status? [Read more]

We call these power-packed sessions the "glue" that knits together our 2 days at Harvard. Each of these sessions is designed to "set the table" for a very different kind of conversation about igniting innovation in payments – with the innovators whose necks are on the line to deliver paired with "celebrity innovators" who know a thing or two about payments and innovation but work outside of the sector.
We also couldn't think of a better way to get the juices flowing in preparation for the mental gymnastics required at the ThinkAThon™, or the filter for evaluating the 40 new innovators at the innovators expo, or the context to evaluate the innovation experiences brought to you by innovators already in market, or the appreciation for those who will receive their awards at the Innovator Awards dinner on the evening of March 21st.
So, without further ado, meet our payments innovation thought starters!
DAY ONE | March 20, 2013
I've Met The Future and It Was Yesterday
Thought Leader
Warren Buffett | CEO of Berkshire Hathaway
Warren Buffett – The Oracle of Omaha — needs no introduction, or an industry counterparty, to impart his pearls of wisdom on what typifies innovation in payments. One big hint, he tends to stick with what he knows and that includes one payments innovator he's stuck with for over half a century… He'll tell us what he looks for before plunking his money on payments firms and would-be innovators and how we sees the future of payments and the commerce ecosystem that it supports. Buffet will be joined in this fireside chat via video with Cathy Baron Tamraz, CEO of Business Wire.
The Future | How the Global Mind Will Transform Global Commerce
Thought Leader and CEO Counterparty
Al Gore | Author, Apple Board Member, Former VPOTUS and Nobel Peace Prize Winner
Gary Flood | President of MasterCard Global Products and Solutions
CEO Panel
Roger Hochschild | President of Discover Financial Services
Karl Mehta | Former CEO of Visa PlaySpan and White House Technology Fellow
Gaylon Jowers | Executive Vice President of TSYS
Jeff Jordan | Andreessen Horowitz partner and former CEO of PayPal
Russell Simmons | CEO of UniRush
Lisa Stanton | CEO Monitise NA
Al Gore, Vice President turned entrepreneur, Apple Board member, and Nobel Peace Prize winner has something on his mind. Well, actually on his Global Mind. It's a concept that he's been toying with for the last eight years or so, as he contemplated the answer to a simple question: What drives global change? His new book, "The Future: Six Drivers of Global Change" answers that question and lays out a prescription for how to harness that change to transform just about every aspect of the global village Gore calls Earth, Inc. And, we should listen because the once VP has been working closely, over the last decade, with some of the most transformative companies in the world.
Six captains of the global payments industry will contribute to the Innovation Project's Global Mind on payments innovation by sharing their thoughts, insights and ideas on the future of payments around the world – as they see it and are doing it. They'll share the tradeoffs that they faced as they said "hello" to innovation and "so long" to the status quo. They'll tell us why they did what where, and what markets they think have the most to contribute to the notion of the Global Mind and when. They'll put in context the opportunities made possible by the richness of the technology that is now available to us and the obstacles inherent in this vast global infrastructure that never make that journey as simple or easy as it may have looked at the start. They'll respond to Vice President's Gore challenge to make the Global Mind work for everyone by sharing just how what they are doing will democratize the commerce opportunity for those living in developed and developed economies. Gore will be joining us via satellite from London. Click here for a detailed look at this panel!
Shoponomics | The Hidden Side of Why Consumers Buy and How They Pay
Thought Leader and CEO Counterparty
Steve Levitt | Economist, Author, Freakonomics
Don Kingsborough | VP of Retail Services, former CEO of Blackhawk and Founder and Former CEO of Worlds of Wonder
CEO Panel
Chuck Harris | President of NetSpend
Dwaine Kimmet | Treasurer and VP Financial Services at Home Depot
Ed McLaughlin | Chief Emerging Payments Officer for MasterCard
Alex Rampell | CEO of TrialPay
Troy Carrothers | Head of Financial Services at Kohl's
After Steve Levitt's (Freakonomics' author) and Don Kingsborough's (PayPal) CEO panel on consumers and the adoption of new payments and commerce innovations, you'll never believe anything you hear ever again on what it will take for consumers to break their old habits and make the move to mobile (or whatever else you have up your sleeve). All of the innovation that sounds so cool has to, then, actually interrupt those habits – and basically get consumers and merchants to invest in creating a whole new routine – and deliver the reward that makes all of that time and effort worthwhile.
This is where, in the words of Steve Levitt, author of Freakonomics notes, "the conventional wisdom is often wrong." Cool" doesn't solve any more problems or create a better value for most consumers than implementing a new technology on the merchant side solely because it is cheaper. But finding the hidden clues that can unlock those behaviors is what Levitt and four of the most dynamic (and probably even a little battle-scared) payments innovators have found as they've each turned conventional wisdom on its ear and given consumers something new to use when shopping or paying.

Guess Who's Coming To The Point of Sale? Reconciling The Tension Between Innovators, Merchants, And New Consumer Experiences

Seth Priebatsch | Chief Ninja, LevelUp
Merchants And Innovators
David Banks | CTO, Cumberland Farms
Sean Harper | Director Payments, Groupon
Kate Lepow | Senior Director Payments, JCP
Mark Matthews | Senior Director Financial Services, Walmart
Jason Richelson | CEO, Shopkeep
In the right corner, innovators ready and raring to change the world and everything about the "commerce and payments status quo." And, in the left, merchants, who have heard it all before and are being asked to jump through hoops to get in front of the next big thing. Karen Webster, CEO of Market Platform Dynamics, will keep us entertained over lunch by presiding over an animated discussion of what some of the most innovative merchants have said yes to and why, and what innovators describe as their "pet peeves" when shopping their wares to potential buyers – with perhaps the most interesting and unconventional player in this space – Seth Priebatsch, LevelUp's Chief Ninja.
Platform Power Plays
We added this panel where everything from breaking news to never before heard updates by platform power players will be made. We can't tell you who will be joining us – you'll have to be there to find out!
The Ultimate Entrepreneur's Challenge | Who's The Best – East, West Or Middle?

Rob Rosenblatt, his newly ensconced CEO and well-known payments innovator, will take 10 of the 40 innovators in our Innovators Expo and help us all decide – who is the most interesting and innovative payments/commerce up-and-comer? In an American Idol meets VC pitch session format, you'll hear innovators tell their stories, and Russell and Rob react, in real time, to what they hear. The only guarantee here is that this duo will reinvent the concept of mentoring in a big way. Click here for a detailed look at this panel!
DAY TWO | March 21, 2013
Lessons From Lean Start Ups | How Six Innovators Went From Lean To Mean In Payments
Thought Leader and CEO Counterparty
Eric Ries | Author, The Lean Start up
Mark Lavelle | SVP PayPal and Co-Founder Bill Me Later, a PayPal Company
CEO Panel
Ken Paull | CEO of ROAM
Eric Remer | Founder and CEO of PaySimple
Scott Thompson | CEO of ShopRunner
Henry Helgeson | CEO of Merchant Warehouse
Jacob deGeer | Founder and CEO of iZettle
Would many more payments ventures fail than succeed if they looked more like "lean startups?" That is the core question that Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup and Mark Lavelle, Senior Vice President and co-Founder of BillmeLater, and five of the industry's most senior and dynamic C-suite executives will address in this 90 minute interactive keynote session. Ries isn't likely to pull any punches either. His prior is "The amount of time a company can count on holding on to market leadership to exploit its earlier innovations is shrinking, forcing even the largest and most established players to think very differently about how it innovates and why." Ries and Lavelle will bring some of the best lean start up case studies in payments to life and uncover the trials and tribulations of 5 well-known innovators, who have each transformed their corner of the payments ecosystem into vibrant and thriving entities. Click here for a detailed look at this panel!

Date will help us all understand the two critical questions that everyone who's anyone in payments wants to hear: Why and What Did You Get out of It? The innovators will talk about how they have helped to fix what's broken in consumer financial services and perhaps even laid a new foundation for the consumer financial services industry. They'll also share their thoughts about the role of regulation be in this process and more in a rousing lunchtime session. Click here for a detailed look at this panel!
The Architecture of Innovation | How Big Companies Can Innovate Like Little Companies
Thought Leader and CEO Counterparty
Josh Lerner | HBS Professor and Author of The Architecture of Innovation
Diane Offereins | President, Discover Network
CEO Panel
Mike Kennedy | Founder and Chairman of ClearExchange and EVP of Wells Fargo Strategy and Innovation
Chitra Narasimhan | Managing Director, Citi Ventures and former SVP of Strategy at American Express
Marianne Johnson | Executive Vice President, Global Head of Product & Innovation at Elavon
Chris Gardner | Serial entrepreneur and CEO of Paydiant
Yung Kim | President of Korea Telecom
Think small. Words to live by, if you're a C-level exec and want to innovate like a start up. So says Josh Lerner, HBS Professor and author of The Architecture of Innovation. Lerner draws his insights from decades of work at the intersection of entrepreneurship, venture investing and private equity. He may spend a lot of his days at the blackboard as an HBS professor, but he is an active and well-respected advisor to the biggest names in the business in these areas. One of Lerner's most potent observations – and key input to his thesis on innovation – relates to his research into the performance of companies that had been acquired by private equity firms and then ultimately spun off business units. He and his colleagues observed that before the transaction and spin offs, there were few differences in performance between the firms and their category competitors. After the acquisition and spin off, things changed. The acquired firms became more innovative, not because they did more "innovative" things, but because the things they decided to innovate around were more focused, investments in innovation more targeted, and incentives around outcomes more clearly defined. Overall performance in the core business improved as well. Using this work as a backdrop, Lerner and Diane Offereins, President of the Discover Network, will challenge everything you have ever heard or done to create and ignite an innovation agenda in payments – with some of the most successful large-company innovators in this space (who have the battle scars to prove it) and input from 5 innovators who are helping to ignite innovation in these large organizations.

Innovating The Cash Economy And Serving The Underserved
Thought Leader and CEO Counterparty
Larry Summers | Former Treasury Secretary, Square Board Member, and Advisor to Andreessen Horowitz
Hikmet Ersek | CEO of Western Union
CEO Panel
Lars Blecko | CEO of Loomis
Arlyn Davich | CEO of PayPerks
Jim DeBello | CEO of Mitek
John Moore | COO of The San Francisco Federal Reserve
Steve Rathgaber | CEO of Cardtronics
Danny Shader | CEO of PayNearMe
In an uncertain world, three things are certain: death, taxes … and cash! Yes, that seemingly antiquated invention (that has been around for a few thousand years now) has belied the claims of the "cashless" society for the last 60 years and will likely be around for the next 60 and still going strong. Cash, as much as we might hate to admit it, is the world's largest payments network and the one that every payments innovator wants to displace. Larry Summers, one of the smartest and most influential economists in the world, has run one of the largest cash payment systems as part of his Treasury gig and has advised several Presidential administrations on economic and fiscal policy, including matters related to currency. Now back in the private sector, Summers is an advisor to some of the leading alternative payments and banking startups including Square and LendingClub. Ersek is pretty clear about its mission, "we are serving the underserved," he says. By that Ersek means those 2.5 billion people who don't have access to a bank account today but thanks to mobile phones and access to the internet have the prospect of moving into the emerging middle class. For many of those people, Western Union is their bank. Together Summers and Ersek will preside over a discussion of the importance of cash and what these 6 innovators are doing to keep this 3000 payment method alive and kicking and an important payment method for the un and underserved.

Voyeur : September 2009
SEPTEMBERVOYEUR is into a carton of ice-cream with a helping of self pity. However, for Erica French, the 31-year-old founder of fitness-group-meets-dating-agency Fit2Date, failed romance has led to a whole lot more. After earning a degree in spor ts science, she scored a job as the strength and conditioning trainer for former Olympic swimmer Ian Thorpe, and eventually turned her attention to working out the bottom line with her own corpor ate fitness training business. In the meantime, she had ended a two-year relationship and w as back on the dating scene. "Trying to meet people when I went out to bars was awful," she says. "Then my friend got all excited about speed dating, which was the single worst experience of my life. It made me feel like a desperate loser." French left the event sure that there must be a better way for single people to meet other like-minded people, and when she realised that she had met all of her previous boyfriends through a common interest in sport, the light bulb suddenly switched on. "It w as almost like an out-of-body experience," she says. "But the first thing that occurred to me w as that surely someone was already doing it. So I immediately jumped onto Google and did some research, but I couldn't find anything else like it out there." She mentioned her idea to a business mentor who w as so impressed with the concept that he gave her a two-week deadline to get her fir st group up and running. She got a web page, bought some equipment, roped 16 friends in and got started. That was in 2007. Now, just two years later, she has brought more than 5,000 people together in outdoor fitness groups for singles in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and has recently launched in New York City. "I was just a girl with an idea," she says. "I wasn't a business person. But I am now." ERICA FRENCH'S TOP TIP :: EMBRACE THE DIFFERENT "To stimulate creative thinking you need to get out of your comfort zone. Do things that bring out your creativity like writing a poem, taking a photo, cooking without a recipe. I started meditating which gives me great clarity." Combining her love for sport and her quest for love, Erica French stumbled upon a brilliant business idea. Trying to meet people when I went out to bars was awful, and speed dating was the worst experience of my life.

Unintended Consequences

Some good questions about the Health Insurance proposals being worked on and debated.
Another question: Why is it so crazy to ask elected officials to read an entire bill before they vote on it? I think reading these bills is a part of their job. But if that duty is not included, maybe their salaries should be cut to reflect this lifted burden.

Internet users have become accustomed to rudeness on the web. Everywhere you go someone has something snarky, callous, or just generally mean to say. The most innocent post about lovely sunflowers could be met with angry vitriol completely out of nowhere. It can hit like a ton of bricks and leave you breathless.
However, you don't have to perpetuate this by being nasty and rude yourself. Even if the other person is being a huge meanie-butt you can counter it with some unexpected kindness. Often this can do wonders not only for you and the person you're talking to but everyone else on the page.
Here are some pointers to really make an act of kindness stand out.
Someone Else's Shoes
I listen to a lot of podcasts while I'm driving or doing other menial tasks, and one of my favorites is the Nerdist series with media mogul Chris Hardwicke. Not just because of the great interviews with celebrities, but because of Chris' outlook on how to interact with the general public. One thing he said really struck me.
Chris gets a lot of abuse about his projects, even when the material is totally free and people can just ignore it. Despite all the positive remarks, he says the negative ones really stand out in his mind. At least they did until he realized something: what that other person is going through.
He says for someone to be that angry about something ultimately trivial as a podcast episode likely means they're going through some pretty awful stuff. Many who have been truly mean have later apologized for their actions. Chris says you never know what someone else is going through.
With that in mind, try to imagine what the super mad troll on your Facebook page is so mad about in their personal life before lashing out. A little kindness to them may just be a bright point in an otherwise awful period in their lives.
Extra Miles
Another thing that Internet users have gotten used to is companies doing what they have to do to get by. Of course it happens in the "real" world a lot too, but Internet companies can sometimes be extra lazy as they have that extra layer of anonymity.
So it's extra special when customers and fans encounter a company that goes that extra step to make them feel special. It ensures loyalty from fans and can also lead to further business as they won't hesitate to recommend you.
So, for example, if someone asks on Facebook or Twitter about a problem they're having, check up on it to see if it's a recurring issue. Or, check their history to see if they've had problems in the past and, if so, offer them a future discount for sticking with the company. Even a repost of something they care about (their own business, maybe, or a charity) can make their day.
Little things like that might not seem like a big deal at the time but you could truly make someone's day. In turn, they'll stick by you through thick and thin.
Have you shown your customers a small kindness lately? Tell us about it!

If the police give you a ticket for violating traffic laws (quite often for speeding), you may require the services of a traffic ticket lawyer (sometimes called a speeding ticket lawyer) to help you through traffic court. Traffic ticket lawyers know which people to talk to at court and the kind of deals they are willing to make. The traffic ticket lawyer will also know the specific types of proof the officer must submit to the court and when there is not enough information to support the traffic ticket.

Uganda is commonly referred to as the Pearl of Africa which is not far from the truth considering her natural resources combined with a very hospitable population. Here are some crazy facts about her; Caesarian sections were being performed in Uganda way before 1879 when R.W. Felkin observed his first successful operation by indigenous healers […]
Pictured Above: A view of my family's compound from the dining room. The blue door across the way is the entrance to the kitchen. And in the blue bucket to the left are thousands of coffee beans, all just roasted naturally by the sunshine and ready to be packaged! Yummy!
As we drove to Kasese, a town two districts to the Northwest of Rukungiri, I found myself missing home.
There are many entrances into the compound, all red iron doors that are locked by a padlock. The compound is big, I think I counted 12 rooms, but I could be wrong. Concrete lays in the center of the compound which is opened to the sunlight and moonlight. As I walk into the house back from my weekend travels, I yell "hello I'm home!" I hear my host mom (Maama) yell "Agandi" as a way of correcting me by not using the language…

This is a great story of a college student at Cal Poly loving her summer internship with isla!
Pictured above is Rose and her famous smile.
In Uganda, 7.4% of the population suffers from HIV/AIDS. In Rukungiri District, 17.6% of the population suffers from HIV/AIDS, almost 3x the national average. From that 17.6%, around 30% of them are children who are born HIV positive. This issues affects Monic and her family. Monic's story was disheartening and I feared for her and her niece, Rose.
I have met Rose twice now. When we meet, her smile takes up half of her face and her tongue sticks out between her teeth. She looks strong and normal. One could not tell by looking at her that she suffers from HIV. As she sits on my lap, she shows me all the good grades she has gotten in primary school. When she recieved a 73% on one of the homework pages she covers the score with her hand and turns the page…

Today marks two weeks and five days since I landed in Entebbe Airport to become the new International Program Coordinator at Foundation for Community Development and Empowerment (FCDE), the parent organization of isla, in Rukungiri District, Uganda. Traveling to a new place always excites me about things unknown and the Pearl of Africa doesn't disappoint.
Written by Hafha Maani Ebrahimi for the Ugandan Sunday Monitor.
So the friend I was talking to and who seemed to be looking forward to traveling to East Africa, kept postponing her dream trip. The reasons were as varied as the colors of the rainbow. Once she cited political turmoil and instability, another time it was fear of malaria or Ebola and the excuses went on. It was time to have a serious chat with my friend.

Uganda, once a British protectorate, has two official languages, English and Swahili. Despite these being the official languages, in addition to English, the majority of the population speaks Luganda, the tongue of the Buganda people, or one of 50 local languages. Possessing a basic understanding of a local language increases your effectiveness in the field. Local people appreciate your effort to understand them and their communities.
Is worrying about learning the local language keeping you from accessing your intern potential? Fear no more. Below we have complied a list of the most important Rukiga (Rukungiri's local language) words and phrases you need to get started!

Acrylic Rhinestone Blings - Round, Red (3 mm, 200/pack)
Acrylic Red Rhinestone Face Blings are round, flat-backed rhinestones that can be applied on skin or above face paint makeup to add bling effects. Acrylic rhinestone gems can be used on face or body to accessorize your makeup. Each pack includes 3mm rhinestone jewels, in Red, approximately 200/pack.
How Do I Apply Face Gems?
Face Gems can be easily applied using glitter adhesive, sold separately. We recommend using a water soluble adhesive, such as Mehron AdGem Acrylic Adhesive, which is a latex-free, water-based acrylic formula that can be removed with soap and water. Avoid latex adhesive as it may irritate sensitive skin.
Apply adhesive to the back of the gem, using sparingly. Wait a couple seconds until glue is slightly tacky then press gently against skin in desired area. Hold until adhesive is dry, around 30 seconds.
How Do I Remove Face Gems?
For water solvent adhesives, Gems can be removed by using soap and warm water to loosen adhesive, then carefully peeling away from skin. For other adhesives, follow the product directions provided by the manufacturer.
Please note: Face Gems contain very small pieces that can be a choking hazard. We do not recommend use of face gems around young children, especially below 3 years of age.

I'm guessing that room is pretty… WARM.
I bet it makes a great noise, too. Dozens of different fans of varying size and speed. Whiirrrrarriirrrrarririair!
That is probably the loudest, heaviest sunset ever.
Follow the link and check it out from behind. I'm thinking that costs at least $100 a month to run.
Rob, that is a fire inspector's worst nightmare. Spider webs of AC just begging to start a fire.
I calculate:
39 computers and CRT monitors running
200 watts per pair (very conservative)
39 x 200 = 7,800 watts (7.8 kW)
Average cost of electricity in US, 2008: $.11/kWh
To run it 8 hours per day, 30 days per month would cost:
8h/d x 30d x 7.8kWh x $.11/kWh = $205.92
Running it 24 hours a day would cost:
24h/d x 30d x 7.8kWh x $.11/kWh = $617.76 !!
I couldn't find current average power cost in the UK in my limited searching. Also note that power costs vary greatly; California users have paid as much as $14.59/kWh in the last year.
Summary: Yes, loudest, heaviest, and most expensive to watch sunset ever. Also.. still awesome.
Good god, $618 a month! The Architect's electric bill must be outrageous.
They should take a picture, and then display the picture.
Save power.
If you gutted all the components you could recreate this with some CF light bulbs, plexiglass screens and opaque colored plastic.
Hell, you could probably do it with just a few large bulbs and some fiber optics and still have the same effect if you tosses a few fans in to recreate the sound.
I'm surprised the artist's name isn't Voytek.
Whoa whoa whoa… Californians have paid as much as $14.59/kWh?!
… really?
I mean, I'll take your word for it, but…
… really?

On Monday, in a local shop, I cried. I cried because I was saying goodbye to a sweet, kind man whose smile has brightened almost every morning of my life for two years.
He has, for those two years, apart from the very odd day off, worked 12 hours a day, seven days a week. He has been paid (which is why I'd better not say what kind of shop it was) well below the minimum wage. In that time, he hasn't seen his five-year-old, or his three-year-old, or his wife.
None of this dimmed a smile that was like the sun coming out, a smile that always made me feel that now my day would be better. It was the smile of someone who was happy to have found work, because it looked at first as though he wouldn't, and of someone happy to have been allowed to work those hours, even though they're illegal, and happy to have been paid below the minimum wage, even though that's illegal, because those hours, on below the minimum wage, now mean he can set up a business when he gets back to Gujurat, which is home. It was the smile of someone who adored the children whose photos he showed me, and knew he was giving them a better future.
On Wednesday, in a café in Soho, I almost cried again. I almost cried because I was with an African friend who has just moved to England, who was telling me about his job. He's living in a bedsit, and working as a dustman, and planning to work in an old people's home at evenings and weekends. He told me about the work, and how you had to be careful when you were emptying bins on busy roads, and about the old people who couldn't manage their bins, and about how, when it wasn't his shift, he told his colleagues about the old people who would need help. I almost cried because he was so happy to have this job, and took so much care with it, and was so pleased to be here.
My local shop assistant trained as an accountant. My friend who's now a dustman has a degree in French. Both are among the 34 per cent of migrants in this country who have a post-school qualification, which is nearly 5 per cent more than what Nick Griffin calls "indigenous" Brits. Those educated migrants, according to new research by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, are better paid than migrants in most other countries. They're even (though perhaps not my friends) better paid than most workers born here. This means, according to the authors of the report, they put less strain on the benefit system than their non-immigrant peers.
But this doesn't mean that Baroness Flather, Britain's first woman Asian peer, was wrong when she said on Wednesday that "the minority communities in this country, particularly the Pakistanis and the Bangladeshis, have a very large number of children and the attraction is the large number of benefits that follow the child". She was told by "community leaders" that her comments were "irresponsible", and that she was "out of touch". But it would be strange if Bangladeshis and Pakistanis were the only ethnic groups to ignore the financial incentives of tax credits and benefits. Birth rates are higher among families on benefits than in work. It's possible this has nothing to do with the benefits, but it's likely that it does. If you live in a country legally, and the law of that country says it will pay you to have children, and pay more the more children you have, and pay the rent on your home, which your own country wouldn't dream of doing, it's quite hard to see why you wouldn't.
Immigrants don't come here for the weather. They don't come here for the food, or fashion. They come here because they get more money, either by selling their skilled labour, or by working long hours in low-paid jobs, or by living on benefits, than they think they would get if they didn't. And because they think that a hard life here is less hard than a hard life at home.
It's easy for middle-class people whose work isn't threatened by cut-price labour, and who swear by their (cut-price) Polish cleaners and builders, to tell the non-working working classes that they should take a leaf out of their immigrant neighbours'(often rather well-thumbed) books. Most people, or at least most non-immigrants, don't want to live in bedsits or dormitories, which is what you often have to do to survive in low-wage labour, and most people don't want to have to juggle several jobs. It's also easy for middle-class people who work hard to tell other people to work hard, but long hours in an office, or sitting round the Cabinet table, are not the same as long hours wiping people's bottoms or emptying people's bins.
Some people will keep arguing that immigration is a good thing, and some people will keep arguing that it isn't, but it is, in the end, a bit like arguing about whether you like sunshine or rain. Good or bad, boost or drain, sunshine or rain, it doesn't really matter. In a globalised world, immigration is here to stay.
What we can all agree, as we face an economic future that isn't looking all that rosy, and which seems to threaten lower standards of living for everyone except the very rich, is that it's sometimes good, when you're feeling a bit hard done by, to have people around to remind you – sometimes with a smile so bright that you cry at the thought of missing it – of your still considerable, utterly undeserved, and entirely arbitrary, luck.
Yet another role model from Scandinavia
Name a social problem and the answer, after extensive global studies, nearly always seems to be in Scandinavia. Economy in the doldrums? Look to Sweden. Not enough women in boardrooms? Look to Norway. Everyone getting a bit miserable? Look to Denmark. Not quite enough bestselling novels and TV series about serial killers? Look to all three.
So perhaps it's not surprising that Denmark has just managed to get that thing rarer than an ugly woman on TV, a female prime minister. Helle Thorning-Schmidt, who was elected on Thursday, is married to Neil Kinnock's son, which does slightly give the impression that centre-left elites are as cosy as their Tory equivalents. But she has, against what appears to be a global trend, managed to get elected with promises of fewer curbs on immigration, and higher taxes. It's not clear how she's done this, but policy wonks will, no doubt, be rushing to find out. Particularly, when they see what she looks like.
What women want (according to the Tories)
It's almost touching that the Tories have suddenly decided they've got a problem with women. Not in pulling them, obviously, but in getting them to vote for them. It has suddenly hit them that big cuts in the public sector hit women more than men, and that women, unlike some politicians, don't really like being hit.
The answer, according to a leaked memo, is things like a ban on advertising to children, and criminalising forced marriage. Call me frustrated if you like, but I can't see how the youth of the nation, and plans to end medieval practices that ought to be illegal already, can be put in a box marked "carrots for women". Or perhaps not carrots, but cupcakes.

Jake on the Job: The Wiener Circle
CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) - Easily offended? Steer clear.
Distaste for profanity? Not your spot.
Inability to take a joke? Keep walking.
But if you want a good hot dog – and if you can dish it as well as you can take it – the Weiner Circle welcomes you in.
So FOX 32's Jake Hamilton went on the job to learn how to throw some shade.
Barry Nemerow knows how to be mean.
And for the past 17 years, he and his crew have had thrown shade, slung insults and spewed profanities at their loving patrons so much so that they've become the thing of obscenity laced legends.
But both crew and patrons will tell you – no one does it better than Poochie.
Usually found on the more vulgar night shift, Poochie Jackson is the saint of sacrilege. But even she has her limits.
Their unique brand of customer service has received national attention and attracts customers from around the world – all looking for a bit more viciousness than i was able to spit out.
I guess, in the end, it's an art learned over time.

Skip to comments.TV star tweets on guns, loses half her following
Posted on 06/12/2013 2:09:43 PM PDT by Mr. K
Merely tweeting about guns these days can prove to be volatile, especially for those in Hollywood.

Case in point is actress Katee Sackhoff, best known for her TV roles as agent Dana Walsh on 24″ and pilot Kara Starbuck Thrace on Battlestar Galactica.
After having seen a news report about a four-year-old boy who accidentally shot and killed his father with a loaded gun that was left unattended at a friends house in Prescott Valley, Ariz., the action star tweeted Monday: Please practice gun safety. This is horrible!

(Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...
She concluded the discussion by noting: On a lighter note since Ive lost half my followers due to talking about gun safety the sun is shining and Happy Monday. Love your neighbor today.
I think that is a good response and we should support her.
Her follower count is up to 130k. It was down to 101k the day this story broke just days ago.
Think I'll follow her on Twitter.
That is, half of the fake followers that populate the typical account.
She's right. Gun safety is important. She at least isn't a left wing, fly off the handle loon that would just tweet "ban guns now" or something stupid.
She's the reason I watch it.
Where does she live? I'll follow her! 8^)
do I give a d^&%$ what any celebrity thinks about anything other than the product of their work?
But, the opposite, the mass build up, mass popular buildup for ANYTHING celebrity connected IS, to me, a cultural disease.
The whole thing of "tweeting" with celebrities is, to me, popular insanity for which some "benign benevolent dictator" ought to say "GET A F&^*^%$NG LIFE!!!!!!"
Right behind ya
This is the fifth or sixth bogus story about this in the past few days. She didn't lose half her followers.
I followed her.
geez, dude... chill
I am happy when anyone sees the light and this will help our cause in a small way
Frenetic ranting over a tweet war, on the other hand... not so much
Thanks, but I never said she did. I said, "Her follower count is up to 130k. It was down to 101k the day this story broke just days ago." and I know that to be true because I checked both then and now.
Not disagreeing with you at all. I would have been rather surprised if her followership didn't go up. It was never much over 100K, and she later said she was "kidding."
She exaggerated a bit (I've done it a million times!) and didn't expect someone to make a federal case out of it.
Oh it's gone up alright. 30k (30%) in just two days. This whole story might have been a way of increasing her numbers. If so it was a success.
I really don't think it was on purpose to get numbers. She was probably surprised it was a story in the first place. There really are people in the business who don't believe the world revolves around them, and are surprised when someone acts like it does.
That will teach her. No common sense allowed in Obammy's radical homo global village. Her tweet was too American. She was supposed to say "ban guns!"
At least she did not bite her pastry into the shape of a gun. The SS would have had to pay her a visit. If I were her, I post such a picture for the wacko birds to digest. : )
She should just post some more boobie pictures and her follower count will be better than ever.

Several, including Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
QTTabbar and Classic Shell
Quite a few people asked me how I managed to set this up as it is;
This is fairly easy to do and solves a lot of problems with various things in Win 7.
Obviously Mr Beltchev is active here on the forum, ( Kudos once again Sir, for an absolutely first class program), but it doesn't seem as if many QTTabbar users are here.
Get QTTabBar ( QTTabBar ) and Classicshell ( Welcome to Classic Shell ).
These are easy to use and you can customise them easily too.
The folder band menu has been removed ( see ;
he also explains how to remove the folder band entirely by tweaking the shellstyle.dll ( I tried both methods, but saw no point in the autohide so disabled it entirely ).
Navigation and other panes are superfluous as you can reach any directory with two mouse clicks at most, of course the directories in the tabs are immediately available. QTTabBar has built in cascading previews for images and text, among other things.
I don't use all available buttons, as they are superfluous. Simply clicking on the file pane background for instance, goes up one level.
Middle clicking on any folder opens a new tab to that folder. All tabs are fully drag and drop capable.
The latest release of QTTabBar is running in that shot
QTTabBar 188.8.131.52 Alpha 5
For some info on setting up QTTabBar, see here;
More About QTTabBar
( This is a review I wrote quite some time ago, and is out of date, but the installation/customisation has not changed materially since).
All this is running on Windows 7 64 Bit Ultimate without any problems at all.
Regards....Mike Connor
PS. Also supports mouse gestures if you get this plugin;
QTHoney - QTTabBar Plugin for Mouse Gestures - ::bOrderFactory::Wiki
Makes the whole thing very comfortable and easy to use.

Senator Lisa Murkowski tonight cast her vote in favor of a six-month FY2013 continuing resolution to fund federal operations through March 27, 2013, while expressing deep frustration at the U.S. Senate's inability to responsibly oversee the nation's spending:
"This Continuing Resolution is not a solution or a plan; it is a symptom of stalemate on Capitol Hill where Congress cannot work together to provide agencies certainty -- and just as importantly, to exercise oversight of what programs are working and deserve funding and which are failing and need to be reconsidered.
"As a member of the Appropriations Committee, I work on bills and shape federal funding to evolve with our nation's needs and priorities -- this bill is just six months of the status quo.
"I remain committed to working with my colleagues to restore sensible funding to the federal government, and am hopeful they will return to Congress in November ready to get to work."
