Every weekday leading up to Christmas Jim & Kim will be previewing a new toy for our 12 Days of Toys. And by 'previewing' we mean, incessantly playing with them until Producer Craig tells them to stop!
What better way to gear up for the holiday season than showcasing the hottest toys of the year? Be sure to watch out for these items during your holiday shopping, you don't want to miss them!
Jim & Kim teamed up with Christopher Byrne, director of content for Time To Play. During his career, Chris has held a variety of positions with toy companies covering marketing, media, operations, product development and creative.
He helped Jim & Kim understand just how and why these toys will be the best of the season!
Today's toy is the Club Dolls - the triple threat for little girls!
Jakks Pacific |Ages 4+| $18.99
Kids can bring the fairy world to life with the Winx Club Believix Dolls based off the hit Nickelodeon show Winx Club.
"There are six of them who are BFFs and they're rockstars too! Lots of narrative based play and she magically gets her wings attached to her back and so then she transforms from rockstar and BFF into a fairy very easily," said Byrne.
Each doll comes with a Magical Membership Card that directs kids to nick.com/winx, where they can play games, take quizzes and watch videos. This card also holds a secret fairy message!

We saw wooden shoes everywhere in Holland. When we went out to the Veldheer Tulip Farm, we went in the Deklomp Wooden Shoe Factory where we could stand at a glass window and watch wooden shoes being carved by a large machine. It was quite incredible. We also found out from some of the locals that when they wear these wooden shoes, they also wear 4-5 pairs of socks to cushion their feet so it makes them look like they have huge ankles and feet. There were many places in Holland where you could buy wooden shoes.
We had learned about Delftware at the museum. Delft tiles came from Italy. But then the Dutch copied Chinese blue and white ware but they didn't have the kaolin for the glaze the Chinese used so they used tin (white) for the underglaze. Because of this their blue is not as dark as the Chinese. And so the famous Dutch Delftware was formed. There are a lot of shops in Holland where you can shop for this. Also, several places show you how it is made and you can watch it being painted at Veldheer Delft Factory.
The Holland Museum is a good place to find out all about the history of Holland. The Dutch arrived in 1847. We learned there was a big public market where the park is now. There were photos of the devastating fire of 1871 which we had learned spared Pillar Church and Hope College. We also learned that in the 15th century a relationship between Italy and Flanders resulted in the Delft tiles that are now the hallmark of Holland. When we were there the Dutch ambassador was here touring the Dutch painting gallery which just opened. We came back to see it later. It has Dutch art from as early as the 15th century. I especially liked several which are of tulips.
The Volksparade is the parade held in the middle of the week. There is another one at the end of the festival on Saturday. We chose to go to this one mid-week. We sat on the curb on our jackets and watched it pass by. There were lots of local bands, flag dancers, town criers, Klompen dancers, many floats with things like windmills, tulips and cows, The Queen's Calvary, Dutch flags, Therapy dogs, and even someone dressed as Abe Lincoln. It lasts about 2 hours. I was amazed how many of the parade members were wearing wooden shoes. I can't imagine walking that far in wooden shoes.
The Dutch are known for their cleanliness. During Tulip Time there are 2 different parades on different days. Before the parade, there is a White Glove Ceremony in which the mayor comes out with white gloves on, rubs the street with them and declares that it is dirty and must be cleaned. So then a large number of adults and children , dressed in authentic Dutch clothing and wooden shoes, comes down the street with brooms and buckets of water to pour on the streets to clean them. Most of the water ended up on the streets but some was thrown at another person and as the street scrubbers advanced to the end of the parade route, the foolishness increased. We had found a place along the parade route and sat on our jackets. Most of the residents had lawn chairs. You also could rent a space in the bleachers for $4 to view both the screet scrubbing and the parade.
There are 2 historic old houses in Holland. One of them is the Settler's House which is a very small 1867 example of an early working class house. It only has 3 rooms but they are furnished in period furnishings that give a glimpse of life for the blue collar worker back in that time. Just down the street from this modest house is the Cappon House from 1873. This was the mayor's house and is very large and ornate. The original furnishings help to show life for the wealthy back at that time. It cost $10,000 which was a lot back then. Both houses have a guide who takes you through the houses and points out things which makes it very interesting. For one thing, in the mayor's house, the expensive furnishings were in the downstairs rooms for show. The parlor is very Victorian. The reason so many of the furnishings survived is that one of the 16 children (a daughter) didn't ever marry and lived in this house and kept it up until her death. Then it became a historic site. They even have the original wallpaper which has been duplicated from traces still on the walls.
You can buy a combination ticket for the museum and the 2 houses. In 2007 when we visited, it was $12.
One of the activities for Tulip Time were organ recitals performed by a variety of artists at Dimnent Memorial Chapel on Hope College Campus. This beautiful old church has 2 pipe organs. The large one (the Chancel Organ) in front was installed in 1929. The other one (the Gallery Organ) in the back was installed in 1970. Organ study is available to all students at this college no matter what their major. Organ study has always been very important here. The college has invited guest performers of international status for many years. They not only perform but also teach here. Our recital was by Peter Kurdziel who has a degree in organ from Hope college but also went to Notre Dame. He is now Director of Music Ministries at Saint Robert of Newminster Parish in Ada, MI. The recital was excellent and was on the Gallery organ in the back.
This church is at the corner of 9th and College Streets. It replaced a log cabin church built when the town was settled in 1847. It was built in 1956 by the founder of Holland, Albertus Van Raalte. It's the Greek revival style with post and beam construction like a barn. There is not a cross on the steeple as on many churches. Instead there is a copper rooster which symbolizes Peter's denial of Christ. It's commonly found on Calvinist churches in the Netherlands. The church had tours with a talk about the history during Tulip Time. They also had one authentic Dutch church service during the week. It was in the Dutch language with an English translation provided. Usually the worship service used to last from 2-3 hours but this one was only 35 minutes. One thing I found interesting too was that the church service here was done in the Dutch language until 1911.
What make's this grainery unique is that it is a windmill from the Netherlands. It's mutch the same and any grain mill that you may have seen. Oh, you've not been to a grain mill before? Then take the time to learn how flour is made from grain (wheat, oats, etc.). Otherwise, the reason to visit is the story of the dutch windmill. Tall, commanding in appearance. They dominate the skyline. To see another, you'll have to go to Europe. If you've seen the real things in low countries, then take time to go inside.
If you've never seen wooden shoes made, this is the place. They really make them, right here. If you like flowers (tulips), you'll find a lot to look at. Otherwise, a half hour a bit of shopping and you'll have witnessed a unique art of shoe making.
The Dutch Village is a nice visit, especially if you have kids. For most of us, once will be enough. The village is visible from US31 and pretty much what you see. There is traditional dutch music and shops with dutch style treats. There is plenty to do for an hour or two. If you have kids, it's a great place as you'll not have to worry for the entire time you're there. They can sleep, run, sing, and they'll have plenty of fun and safe things to do.
I'm not much of a shopper, but the stores in downtown Holland have kept much of there historic flavor. So much so that even the old bank, which has become a store, has retained the vault, which is now a display room. Just look for the tower. It's the corner store. (Home & Company).
Downtown has a mix of shops and stores, all in a pleasant well-kept historic area. Some buildings are brand new, others are finely maintained from the 19th Century. Trees line the streets, offering shade on hot days.
As one might expect, Holland takes great pride in it's Dutch heritage. Some of the sights and activities might sem a bit kitchy and overly-trouisty, but they can actually be a lot of fun. I think many of them are actually done quite nicely. I used to love the Dutch Village. They have lots of shops with handicrafts, yummy fudge, Dutch food, and fun atmosphere.
Many people don't believe me that there is a beach in Michigan - much less a very nice one that is a lot of fun to play around at. Yes, there are months of the year when it is cold, this is to be expected. But I wouldn't swim at the beach in January in Virginia, so why should Michigan be so different? In the summer months, splashing around in a huge body of water that does not sting your eyes and make you sticky like salt water, nor have things that will sting/poke/eat you is just the ticket. =)

The question is a fairly open one. I've been using Stored Procs with MS SQLServer for some time with classic ASP and ASP.net and love them, lots.
I do have a small amount of experience with PHP4 and mySQL, and previously when working with these was limited to in-line SQL.
I have a small hobby project I'm working on and for various reasons have gone the LAMP route.
Any hints/tricks/traps or good starting points to get into using stored procedures with mySQL & PHP5?
Yes my version of mySQL supports Stored Procedures so lets skip that trap!

The Swede was the obvious go-to guy last season when the teams were drawn together, having represented both clubs with distinction, and he diplomatically chose not to lend his support to one over the other ahead of the ties. The Swede's neutral position did not stop him revelling in Celtic's 2-1 win at Parkhead, believing it to be the greatest home result in the club's history.
Now Neil Lennon, Larsson's former team-mate, has taken Celtic back into the group stages where another sizeable challenge awaits. If anything the task is harder this time around with Ajax and Milan also lying in wait. Larsson, though, believes reaching the knockout phase again is not beyond Celtic.
"It was fantastic to watch [Celtic] do so well last season," he said. "Now they are in the group stages again and it's absolutely fantastic. Last season's success will help them but they have lost a few players who were important. Is it more difficult this season? Last season's group was difficult and so is this one. Being realistic, you can see that is a very tough group for Celtic. But nothing is impossible. The teams coming to Celtic Park are not going to enjoy it that much. It depends what they can get out of the games here and hopefully do something away from home - then you just never know. There was a wee smile when I saw Barcelona come out of the draw again, as they are two clubs who have been special to me in my career."
Larsson was back in Glasgow to take part in Stiliyan Petrov's charity match at Celtic Park on Sunday. Petrov, another former team-mate, is recovering from acute leukemia and the game between two teams of players, former players, celebrities and other friends raised a six-figure sum for a number of good causes. "It was a great occasion," he added. "Stan was a big part of the group of players we had. We were very tight and still are. It was nice to see so many people turning out to sell-out the stadium and give him a fitting tribute. It was for a good cause and I was honoured to be here. The game wasn't the most important thing, it was about being here for Stan.
"It's always fun to see the guys. We are close and we stay in touch with each other. We had a very special group and even though we are getting a little bit older, you could see that. I think things like this brings you closer together. When something bad happens to anybody that is close to you and you shared so much with, it makes you tighter. It makes you realise that you are not immortal.
"Stan was fitter than most people so you see that it can happen to anyone. It brings you closer together. I met a few of the boys on Saturday when I arrived and it was great. It was fantastic to see that Stiliyan is getting better and better, and that is the most important thing."
Peter Lawwell, the Celtic chief executive, paid tribute to all those who contributed to "a wonderful day" and highlighted Carlos Cuellar, the former Rangers player, as someone who put old rivalries to one side for a worthy cause. Cuellar, now at Sunderland, is said to have spent £11,000 at a charity dinner on Saturday night.
"Sunday was a wonderful day and, first and foremost, it was another chance for the Celtic supporters to show Stiliyan just what they think about him," Lawwell told the Celtic website. "His ability as a footballer always marked him down as a fans' favourite, but the courage he has shown over the past year has been an inspiration, and it was great to see him back out on the Celtic Park pitch again.
"We do pride ourselves on being more than a football club and that was evident again on Sunday. And it was also in keeping with the roots of our club that charity was the real winner on the day. It was great to see so many of our legends back at Celtic Park playing in the Hoops again, and the day wouldn't have been complete without a Henrik Larsson goal. I know that they, along with every other player, didn't have to think twice about agreeing to take part, and that includes a number of Stiliyan's friends and team-mates who are still playing in the English Premier League.
"And I would like to thank them, and their respective clubs, for having agreed to take part. That includes Carlos Cuellar, who not only was eager to take part in the game, but his generosity at the charity dinner the previous night was truly admirable."

Though Kelly Clarkson took the top prize on American Idol, finalist Christina Christian still feels like a winner. She's currently working on a record of her own, which she hopes to release sometime this summer. Did the normally surly Simon Cowell — who had an obvious soft spot for this 21-year-old crooner — offer her a helping hand?
"He'll be involved with my career," Christian confirms to TV Guide Online. "He works really closely with Simon Fuller, who is my manager, and [19 Entertainment], the recording company that I'm signed with. So he's very much involved."
For some reason we can't imagine, Christian thinks the Idol judge has gotten a bit of a bad rap. "He just genuinely seemed to be nice," she insists. "We got along very well and he's a very nice person. I have nothing bad to say about him."

This may be hard for you to believe, but American Idol meanie Simon Cowell actually showed restraint when hurling insults at contestants during the show's debut run last summer. "I will never ever do that again," Cowell told reporters over the weekend at the Television Critics Assoc. press tour in Hollywood. "I regret the fact that I behaved that way because there were certain things I would've liked to have said on those last couple of shows and I didn't." For example... "I would've told Nikki McKibbin to go back to a strip club," he said. "As I watched her I thought, 'You are a better stripper than you are a singer.' And I know that sounds rude, but that's what I felt. I bit my tongue, and I wish I hadn't." Cowell will get a chance to redeem himself when Idol 2 debuts tonight on Fox. read more

And for a brief moment, viewers may have thought they'd be spared the inane drivel that accompanies the pretty pictures of stars in their finest (or to Joan's sadistic delight, their worst). Later, the producers of NBC's own Golden Globes Arrivals special may have wished their sound died when one actor got a bit too colorful for broadcast television. But such is the nature of live television, when anything can — and oftentimes does — get blurted. Here's a recap of the night's verbal highlights:

Movie-musical Chicago was the big winner at Sunday's 60th annual Golden Globes, razzle-dazzling its way to three statuettes (the most of any project on the big or small screen this year). Renée Zellweger and Richard Gere won for best actress and actor, and the movie won for best picture in the musical/comedy category. Other multiple winners included The Hours (best picture, drama; best actress Nicole Kidman), About Schmidt (best actor Jack Nicholson; best screenplay) and read more

Consumer Security 2005 to 2008
Have you joined the wireless world? Many people think of wireless technology as applying only to computers. If you have a cordless phone, a garage door opener, GPS in your car, a satellite hookup for your TV, or a cell phone, then you have been using wireless technology as long as you've been using those items. Surprised? Many people are when they realize they have been using a cordless phone or garage door opener, for several years.
In the computer world you have Laptops/Notebooks, PDAs (personal digital assistants), wireless keyboards and mice and anything else that inter-connects without wires or batteries, that is related to a computer.
The one thing most people don't realize is that using any of the above devices creates it's own security problems. Anyone using a cordless phone should realize that their phone calls can be intercepted. Most people have no reason to worry about whether someone is listening to their calls, but there are occasions when the information discussed in a phone call is so sensitive that they should not be using a Cordless phone or cell phone to make the call. Would you want a call to your bank intercepted? or A call to your physician? or A call to your lawyer? Businesses are more at risk than the average person because sensitive information is often discussed by phone, but more businesses are becoming aware of how insecure using wireless technology actually is.
If you use wireless technology, you should be aware of the Security necessary to keep your interactions over the device secure. No matter what wireless equipment you want to use, there is wireless technology available for someone who wants to listen or steal the information you are sending over that specific equipment. Now, the information sent by a garage door opener isn't particularly sensitive but people use phones, laptops, PDAs, keyboards etc., to exchange sensitive information with others that they don't want to share with others. This is especially true over the Internet.
If wireless computing is in your future, make sure you pay as much attention to Security for the device as you do to choosing and purchasing a laptop. For different ways of making sure your wireless computing is secure, please read Wireless Security - A Timely Topic, Wireless - Why Do I Need Security? and Wireless Security - How To Protect Yourself. If a cell phone, cordless phone, wireless keyboard or mouse or any other devices is in your future, then the some security information about these devices is in Wireless - Bluetooth Device Security.
Securing and Protecting yourself and your information should be at the top of your list, before using the wireless device you have chosen. Sadly in this computer age, security and protection are becoming absolutely necessary before we can enjoy our 'electronic toys'. Identity Theft is one of the fastest growing evils of the 21st century.
Bluetooth users are reasonably well covered by the 10m range (class 2) that most devices currently have. I think the real Bluetooth security risk will arise when more class 1, 100m devices turn up.

That's the reason they drafted him #1. After a rough opener against a strong Chicago defense, Luck was incredibly impressive in his 2nd start, passing for 224 yards on 20 of 31, despite minimal help from his supporting cast. Under pressure on 15 of 37 drop backs, he took just 2 sacks, scrambled 4 times for 21 yards, and completed 6 of 9 for a touchdown and of the 3 incompletions, 1 was dropped, and on 1 he was hit as he threw. In fact, if you take non-targets out of the equation and add in drops (accuracy percentage), he would have been 24 of 29. Luck doesn't have a ton of help, but he has a very easy schedule, so expect this team to at least win the 6 games Cam Newton did last year, with a 7 or 8 win season being more likely.

Sara Lee will open Kansas City, Kan., plant, employ 250
Sara Lee Corp. will spend more than $130 million on the 187,000-square-foot former ConAgra Foods plant in Kansas City, Kan., and open a sliced meat manufacturing plant there in 2011 that it expects to employ more than 250 people.
Sara Lee (NYSE: SLE), based in the Chicago suburb of Downers Grove, Ill., said in a Friday release that it expects the plant at 4612 Speaker Road to become fully operational by 2011.
Brent Miles, president of the Wyandotte Economic Development Council, said Friday that Sara Lee was granted a 10-year, 75 percent property tax abatement on $31 million of planned improvements at the plant. The abatement's value is $9.67 million, he said.
In return, the company agreed hire 55 percent of the plant's workers from Wyandotte County.
"This industry-leading facility will reinforce our competitive advantage in value-added meats, one of Sara Lee's top strategic categories and long-term growth drivers," CJ Fraleigh, executive vice president and CEO of Sara Lee's North American Retail & Foodservice division, said in the release. "It will help us further build our Hillshire Farm and Sara Lee brands, both leaders in the fast-growing category of premium lunchmeat."
Omaha-based ConAgra Foods (NYSE: CAG) said in July 2006 that it had agreed to sell its refrigerated meat business, including the Kansas City, Kan., plant, to Smithfield Foods Inc. (NYSE: SFD) of Smithfield, Va., owner of Kansas City-based Farmland Foods, for $575 million in cash and stock.
Sara Lee's brands include Ambi Pur, Ball Park, Douwe Egberts, Hillshire Farm, Jimmy Dean, Kiwi, Sanex, Sara Lee and Senseo. Combined, the brands generate more than $13 billion in annual net sales covering about 200 countries. Sara Lee has 44,000 employees worldwide.

I'm not sure about how these types of specific images are looked at in many other countries around the world, but in America these types of images are known to lead to or be in someway associated with child sexual abuse by some adults. That this issue discouraging these types of images being posted by minors/children is an ongoing issue in American society today. As more and more children are exposed to sexual content on the web, they begin to believe it must be allowed to be view naked on the web. Children really can't be blamed for what happen. Exposure to adult sexual material and activities in media and the web to minors really isn't their doing..It's basically everywhere today in those medians !

Despite a down economy, costs continue to rise for healthcare, education and childcare in the U.S. In regards to childcare, there are a number of ways to combat rising costs. Below are five ways to help you save.
Tax Credits
IRS Publication 503 highlights some of the tax benefits available for families and parents that use outside childcare. There are the standard dependent tax deductions on basic tax forms, but there are also ways to exclude care benefits received from your employer. Some things that can be excluded are amounts paid to the employer for childcare, the fair market value of care provided in a daycare facility sponsored by your employer or any pre-tax contributions made with a dependent care flexible spending arrangement.
Flexible Spending Accounts
Dependent care flexible spending accounts (FSA) let parents set aside as much as $5,000 in pre-tax money to pay for childcare. In similar fashion to a standard FSA, they are deducted from weekly or semi-weekly paychecks prior to the deduction of federal, state and Social Security taxes. For an individual in a 28% tax bracket, this can mean savings of $1,400 annually or close to 30% of the original $5,000 amount that would have otherwise gone to paying Uncle Sam.
SEE: Top Job Perks You May Not Have Heard Of
Compare Help Options
There are two primary options for the daily care of your child. The first is to simply have one spouse stay at home. The second is to have a nanny come into the house to provide care. This is one of the more convenient options, but according to the IRS this may qualify your home as a household employer, which would require the payment of Social Security, unemployment and tax withholdings. This "nanny tax" may or may not be worth it. Some outside services, such as those that provide nannies, can provide some relief or guidance on how to most economically have someone come into your home and care for your children.
Stay at Home
Sometimes, the best option for the well-being of your child and checkbook may be for one spouse to not work and stay at home. The cost per child of hiring a nanny or outside daycare facility averages around $12,000 annually. If you have more than a couple of children and have a household income less than $40,000 per year, it is more economical to stay at home and raise the kids. However, if you volunteer to take care of other children, you may be eligible for additional tax deductions.
SEE: Staying Home Vs. Daycare: A Financial Conundrum
The Bottom Line
Tax credits and other saving methods can literally save you thousands of dollars in annual childcare expenses. It can be the difference between needing to stay at home or heading to the office to try and get ahead by earning some extra annual income.

If not, then this book is for you. I found it to be very enlightening and the book gave clear examples of organizations which either failed to anticipate change or proactively sought to position itself for change. Nadler, et al, break down the stages of change management into readable bites and provide stepping stones of the thought processes that should be involved in change management.
Even better, the authors discuss how the corporate culture is directed by leadership's attitude towards change and covers how to bring about change in spite of internal resistance.
That said, this is tough stuff to dig into for any length of time.

The fate of the Thriller recording console
In the last issue of the New Yorker, there was a "Talk of the Town" piece by Nick Paumgarten about the machine on which the best-selling album of all time was made. Michael Jackson's Thriller, along with albums by other prominent artists, such as Billy Joel and Donna Summer, were recorded on the solid-state recording console called the Harrison 4032. Of course, most people don't know or care about such details. Production quality is obviously an important attribute of the Thriller album, and most good albums. But we usually take note of the man behind the job (e.g., Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson), and ignore the equipment. Nevertheless, the specific instruments and consoles behind a piece of music that we love are imbued with a special value that's hard to explain rationally. Knowing that a guitar model is the same one that Eric Clapton or Jimi Hendrix used makes you desire it more (and these models are priced accordingly); when a guitar is literally and specifically one that these musicians used, it ends up in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame or is auctioned off for hundreds of thousands (or millions?) of dollars.
According to Paumgarten's article, the Harrison 4032 on which Thriller was made somehow ended up in the hands of a Christian-music recording studio owner named Clayton Rose. When MJ passed away in 2009, Rose decided it would be a good idea to sell the console. After all, once it was certified as authentic, wouldn't this piece of equipment go for lots of money? Jackson was one of the most beloved musicians of all time, and he continues to have many wealthy fans. But unfortunately, Rose had to lower his price on eBay from one million dollars to $500,000, and then he had to lower it even more. It wasn't until Laurent Brancowitz from the band Phoenix came across the console that there was a serious buyer. The French electronic band (I am a fan!) decided that they had to have it, and they began negotiating with Rose. And at once, it became apparent why it was so hard to sell this equipment. Rose's e-mails and exchanges with potential clients were misspelled, hostile, defensive…just all around distasteful. He was turning people off with his poor salesmanship. Such a valuable item should've been able to sell itself; but it seemed like a bad salesman could actually hinder the sale! Phoenix ended up buying the Harrison 4032. For $17,000.
It's amazing how context can influence our valuation of an item. When a non-human animal views something of value (such as a piece of food…there are few other things valued by those outside our species), it weighs a few attributes – taste, smell, amount, effort required to obtain it, opportunity cost of eating it. When we consider something of value, on the other hand, the number of potential attributes explodes. This recording console means more to someone who can use it (like a musical artist) then to someone who doesn't know how to use it. This recording console is valued more than others of its same kind because the most beloved album of all time was created on it. Finally, this recording console loses value because the person who owned it before seems a little abrasive and a little nuts, given his e-mails. All of these attributes are completely abstract! To even consider these, we must be able to make extremely complex inferences (that don't seem complex to us at all). And in the end, it can all be translated into a price.
Phoenix's next album (to be released in April) has been mixed on the same recording console on which Thriller was mixed. I'm not gonna lie – as silly as it seems, this makes me want to buy and listen to the album all the more.

Across Canada, retailers have been vying for attention, discounting goods and offering deals as they jockey for position in an increasingly crowded field.
The Bank of Canada has noticed. The increased retail competition, sparked in part by U.S. discount giant Target Corp.'s rapid-fire 124-store expansion across Canada, has had an impact on Canada's consumer price index, suppressing inflation to levels well below the central bank's 2% target.
And that's creating a conundrum for policymakers. Canada is faced with record high household debt loads, which seem to beg for higher interest rates, but also sluggish inflation rates and a slowing economy, which beg for lower ones. The central bank, meanwhile, has a single mandate: a 2% inflation target.

The probability of Canada's central bank delivering another surprise on Wednesday seems pretty slim considering it sprang one just six weeks ago.
The Bank of Canada will likely keep its benchmark overnight target rate at the 1% level it's stood at since September 2010, at its last policy statement of the year, according to all the economists at the 12 primary dealers of government securities surveyed by the Wall Street Journal.
All but one–Deutsche Bank Canada–don't envisage borrowing costs rising until 2015. Deutsche Bank predicts the overnight rate will be at 1.25% at the end of 2014 after one rate hike in the second half of the year.
The Bank is also expected to repeat the neutral policy stance it adopted in October, when it unexpectedly dropped a rate-hike bias adopted 18 months earlier under former governor Mark Carney.

The specter of deflation has been haunting the global economy in recent weeks as price increases in many major economies slow to a crawl amid sluggish growth.
Price increases have slowed in Canada, as well, but it would take an economic shock to awaken the deflation demon in the domestic economy, some economists say.
It's a threat central banks around the world have to be alert to. They've become fairly good at fending off inflation, but deflation, rarer and possibly more damaging, is something major central banks haven't had to contend with much.
By Nirmala Menon
Will the Bank of Canada follow the European Central Bank in cutting rates to jolt inflation back to life?
It's not improbable. After all, the Canadian central bank delivered its first major policy surprise under the watch of Governor Stephen Poloz when it abandoned its 18-month old rate-hike signal at its October policy meeting.
The majority of economists believe the Canadian central bank will keep the benchmark overnight rate at 1% until at least late 2014.
But there's a minority who have been flagging the risk of lower rates, including Joshua Dennerlein, U.S. and Canada economist at Bank of America/Merrill Lynch in New York.

Central banks in Russia and elsewhere are cutting purchases of gold, further weighing on prices of the metal. Prices are down 19% year to date. The last time gold prices posted an annual loss was 2000.
Police say the 71-year-old man had a carry-on bag with all but one of the necessary components needed to make a bomb aboard a flight from Montreal to Los Angeles. But as he faced criminal charges Monday, the looming question was: why?
Among the troubles caused by the budget high jinks in Washington is one that gets too little attention: the damage automatic budget cuts are doing to basic research in America.
Canada ramped up its admissions of temporary foreign workers through the first half of this year even as the government was promising to clamp down to ensure Canadians get first crack at available jobs.
California this week signed a new pact to align its clean energy policies with those of Oregon, Washington state and British Columbia. The nonbinding blueprint sets new targets for electric vehicles and calls for the construction of a bullet-train system from Canada to California.

If Janet Yellen succeeds Ben Bernanke as Federal Reserve chief, it could signal policy continuity at the Bank of Canada, as well as the U.S. central bank.
President Barack Obama is expected to nominate Ms. Yellen as Fed chairwoman later Wednesday, succeeding Mr. Bernanke.
Ms. Yellen, currently the Fed's vice chairwoman, is considered to be "dovish" and unlikely to deviate substantially from the U.S. central bank's easy money policies in the near term. That would allow the Bank of Canada to maintain its key rate at a low 1% indefinitely, economists said.

Stephen Poloz will on Wednesday deliver his second major speech as head of Canada's central bank, and for the second time, he'll have some stiff competition in attracting attention from financial markets.
Mr. Poloz's speech, to Vancouver's Board of Trade, is set for the same day as one of the most-anticipated policy statements and press conferences from the Federal Reserve—as the U.S. central bank is expected to offer details on plans to begin scaling back its bond-buying program.
Mr. Poloz's maiden speech as Bank of Canada governor, on June 19 in Burlington, Ontario – also fell on the same day as a Federal Reserve rate decision and press conference by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. At that time, Mr. Bernanke signaled the Fed's intention to begin scaling back its $85 billion-a-month bond-buying program some time in 2013, should the economy continue to show improvement. Those remarks spurred a back-up in longer-term rates and market volatility in some key emerging markets, most notably India.

Canadian real return bond investors, be on alert. While the goal of central bankers around the globe will be to return inflation to target, recent research shows Canada's inflation path may take a much more circuitous route than investors currently appreciate, economist Sheryl King writes in The Globe and Mail.

These are a few of the stories we're reading early Tuesday.
The operator of the runaway train that derailed and exploded in Quebec recorded an accident rate far higher than the U.S. average over the past 10 years, federal data show. Meanwhile, Canadian authorities continue to investigate the derailment, and are attempting to confirm deaths and identify bodies.
Central bankers around the world are searching for ways to halt borrowing binges before they morph into bubbles, and to push lenders to shore up their defenses before the next crisis arrives.
Thousands of people in Toronto were still without power and the morning commute was expected to be a tricky one after a sudden downpour Monday evening that flooded some of the city's roadways and transit systems.

There aren't many institutions that can bring the world to a standstill. The U.S. Federal Reserve sits near the top of that short list.
The Fed can roil global currency markets, set new trends in global interest rates, help steer the direction of the billions of dollars that flow between countries every hour, and help–or hinder–economies all over the world.
So when it's about to make a statement that could signal a major shift in policy, the world's financial markets pause, and wait.
That's particularly true for Canada, which sends about 70% of its exports to the U.S., and whose financial markets are closely intertwined with those of its neighbor.

Preview: Aziz Ansari finds more to laugh about as he turns 30
March 28, 2013 4:00 AMAdulthood. It's a daunting word for younger folk -- one that denotes responsibility, maturity and family. But between his signature South Carolinian whine and fast-paced baller talk, Aziz Ansari deconstructs the term, while embracing his own adulthood with a laugh.
Tonight, this charming funnyman from the politically charged NBC sitcom hit "Parks and Recreation" will perform at Heinz Hall. If you're expecting more youthful banter from flashy, club-promoting romantic Tom Haverford or the innuendo-filled witticisms from Mr. Ansari's past specials, you're in for a surprise.
Where: Heinz Hall, Downtown.
When: 7 tonight.
Tickets: $25-$35. pso.culturaldistrict.org or 412-392-4900.
"This [show] is a lot more focused on themes," he told Esquire magazine. "It's about the fear of having kids and seeing your friends have kids. It's about marriage and how hard it is to meet someone you really like. So it's three themes that are super-relatable, and that's a lot different from my other specials."
Appropriately, Mr. Ansari's second round of the Buried Alive tour coincides with the comedian turning 30.
"[Buried Alive] is an evening of bewilderment and disillusionment ... it's disillusionment with the whole idea of adulthood, and bewilderment with 'Oh, like I'm at the age now where I'm supposed to get married and have a kid,'" he told Life + Times.
It makes sense for these whirling feelings of adulthood to surface at a time when Mr. Ansari's friends (including Jay-Z and Kanye West) are settling down and having kids. But this Indian-American adult still wants to take time to revel in his youth.
"I still feel like a kid. I don't feel like I'm an adult yet."
The magic combination of Mr. Ansari's cheeky voice inflections and his show's heavier themes is a testament to his balance between adult responsibility and childish play. With a dash of his well-timed rhythm and tone, the audience is left in stitches.
Just last year, the former NYU student's funny bone slipped him a spot on the Forbes 2012 30 Under 30 List in Entertainment alongside Lena Dunham, Nicholas Hoult and Chloe Grace Moretz.
The Hollywood Reporter claimed that Mr. Ansari "has become one of the most prolific writers and performers on the comedy scene in recent years," and Rolling Stone recently placed him on the cover of its special comedy issue labeling him "the funniest man under 30."
Having starred in his first major movie role in the action film "30 Minutes or Less," Mr. Ansari is currently working on three screenplays for Judd Apatow.
Despite his recent acclaim and celebrity status, the South Carolina native keeps his stand-up show bare bones for more emphasis on pure comedy. With a simple pre-show routine that includes lunch at local food joints, revising his set list and sipping a hot cup of tea with honey, Aziz Ansari chooses to chill down before revving up for his performance.
"See, I've never been on a rock star tour, so I can't compare it. This [tour] is literally just me, [my opener] and my tour manager hopping around, going to get sandwiches, and like 'sound check, check, cool,' and then we do the show and then we're done. It's pretty much a stress-free thing," he told Life + Times.
Mr. Ansari builds his performance material from unannounced stand-up shows in New York and L.A., where he tries out new jokes on smaller audiences.
"After a while of trial and error, you get a fully formed bit and then it's usually good enough to do in a bigger show like this," he said.

"Miata in wagon = Protege 5"

A very informative talk with "Boesman" (Bushman in Afrikaans), who explains to us interesting facts about scorpions, how to recognize the most venomous scorpion types, how to catch them, how they sting, etc.
If you ever travel to the Sossusvlei or Deadvlei area (Namibia), I totally recommend his guided walks (search for "Sossus-on-foot").
NB: A scorpion does not "bite"; it stings!
Video Recap: Interesting Scorpion Facts
- Scorpions are shy creatures and very sensitive to vibrations.
- It is mainly by accident that scorpions sting people.
- One needs to be cautious when picking up a stone as they often hide underneath.
- Scorpions are very active when it is windy. In absence of wind, insects fly around. When the wind is blowing however, they cannot fly so the scorpions come out and catch them.
- Don't make abrupt movements in presence of a scorpion; you are at higher risk of getting stung.
- Scorpions dig with their pincers so they form an elongated hole (round holes are often from mice).
- When catching a scorpion, dig a hole from underneath its hiding place.
- A scorpion cannot sting from below so you can safely hold it in your hands. If you point your finger at it, nevertheless, the animal goes for the strike.
- Not all scorpions are venomous, and fatal encounters are highly unlikely.
- Adults have stronger venom than sub-adults.
- Male scorpions are more venomous than females.
- Sexually active males have much stronger venom than those that aren't.
- Scorpions that haven't eaten for long are most venomous. A scorpion that has just had food has weaker venom.
- Scorpions with small pincers and a big tail have very potent venom (power is in the tail).
- Scorpions with big pincers and a thin tail have relatively weaker venom (power is in the pincers).
- In other words, if you get stung by a scorpion with a thin tail chances are that you will be just fine. A visit to the doctor is not necessary although you shouldn't take any risks when in doubt.
