If you're looking for the perfect gift for someone who is financially savvy and good with their money, how about something creative like a framed stock certificate issued by their favorite company?
Few people bother with physical stock certificates these days. It's much cheaper and more convenient to keep your stock in an online trading account where you can watch it grow, earn dividends, and sell it when the time is right.
But companies still issue stock certificates and some of them are like miniature works of art.
Below we have listed what we think are the coolest stock certificates. They're all available for purchase through OneShare.com and they make an awesome gift for that special investor in your life.
The Walt Disney Company
Disney's stock certificate includes a portrait of a smiling Walt Disney himself surrounded by some of his most beloved characters including Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Winnie the Pooh, Bambi, Dumbo, Pinocchio, and Sleeping Beauty.
Note – As I was preparing to publish this article I learned that Disney is going to stop issuing physical stock certificates. If you want to buy one you have to do so by 3:00 PM eastern time on 10/15/2013. Click here to grab one before it is too late.
DreamWorks Animation
The DreamWorks stock certificate features the company logo atop a blue sky with white clouds. At the bottom the head of its most famous and loved character peaks out at you with an impish look in his eye. Shrek is clearly up to something!
Orbital Sciences Corporation
I'm a bit of a science geek and I love all things space, so the Orbital Sciences stock certificate is one of my favorites. The colorful background features an amazing view of the solar system.
It's a shame more companies don't put some effort into creating a stock certificate as beautiful as the ones above. Just imagine what Nintendo's would look like if they used a scene from Super Mario Bros instead of this…

There is something in the heir
For two weeks, Marcus Setchell hasn't touched a drop.
As gynaecologist to the Duchess of Cambridge he is on high alert to deliver the first heir to the British throne in 29 years. His sobriety is of national importance.
The baby, which could one day be New Zealand's head of state, is supposedly due on July 13, just one week from now.
But that date could be a ruse to frustrate paparazzi already camped outside St Mary's Hospital in London in anticipation of the biggest media event of 2013. Not just in the United Kingdom but in the entire Commonwealth. Even the United States is gearing up.
Being 18,000 kilometres away will not mute the event here at all.
In fact, New Zealand will be in the thick of it.
Sido Kitchin, editor of New Zealand's most popular "gossip" magazine Woman's Day, will mark the birth with a special issue. It's bound to sell out. In 2011, when Prince William married Kate Middleton, sales of the magazine increased 60 per cent.
"There has definitely been a surge in love for the royals since Kate came on the scene, injecting some glamour and warmth to the royal family, which had been missed since the death of Princess Diana," Ms Kitchin says.
"There's been lots to celebrate - the royal wedding, the Queen's diamond jubilee, Wills and Kate's first tours, then the pregnancy announcement - so we've been spoilt with pomp and ceremony in the past two years."
The royal family hasn't had a run as good as this since the handful of years immediately following Prince Charles' marriage to Diana Spencer in 1981. This is all well and good for the family, but it's also good for business.
The UK-based Centre for Retail Research is predicting Will and Kate's baby will bring a $539 million retail bonanza, including $121m spent on celebratory plonk, $49m on party food, $47m on toys, $78m on books, and $70m on DVDs and other media.
This spending is on top of the $1 billion in tourism spending a 2011 study attributed to the monarchy.
New Zealand, too, will not be without benefits, says Sean Palmer, the chair of Monarchy New Zealand and holder of a PhD in constitutional politics that focuses on the role of the monarchy in New Zealand.
"Look at the good they bring when they visit. Look at the publicity value to New Zealand. When William comes here and wears a local clothing label, we know the sales are going to go up. When he holds a kiwi, we know that is good for the promotion of our conservation efforts.
"The Government spends vast amounts of money promoting New Zealand, but when a royal visits we get a tremendous amount of international exposure for next to nothing."
We should be making more use of them, he says.
In many ways, we make use of them every day. As one of 15 of the Commonwealth's constitutional monarchies, the Queen is our head of state. Through her representative, the governor-general, she has the power to dissolve our government, to press reset and start this country all over again if things ever get that bad.
"We haven't had to see that power, and that means the system is working," Mr Palmer explains.
"When you look at democracies - the fairest, the most egalitarian, the most responsible in terms of equality and social welfare for their people - the vast majority of countries in that group are constitutional monarchies."
The least free and democratic are mostly republics, he says.
"One of the great strengths of having the Queen in our constitutional structure is that not only does she do a great job, but her presence resolves a difficult question. Who would she be replaced by if we changed the system?
"The royals are raised believing that it is their responsibility to protect the constitutions and people of their countries. Who are we comfortable giving the nation's power to?" he asks.
That power could one day be given to Will and Kate's first-born. The 2013 Succession to the Crown Act means regardless of whether the baby is a boy or a girl, he or she will be the third in line to the throne, after grandfather Prince Charles and father Prince William.
Lewis Holden, chairman of the Republican Movement of Aotearoa New Zealand, wants the power held by a New Zealander.
"I believe we should have our own head of state and everyone should be able to aspire to that. It smacks of a lack of confidence in ourselves and cultural cringe that we can't have our own head of state," he says.
That we soon will is simply the result of a demographic equation, he says. Support for the monarchy is dwindling and younger people mostly don't care, he says, in stark contrast with Mr Palmer's assertion that the second-largest group of supporters of the monarchy are aged 18 to 30.
"Unless the British monarchy can get William and Kate to connect with New Zealanders under 30, the royal family are really going to struggle," Mr Holden says.
"The birth is going to create a nice positive feeling, but I don't think it will be enough to save the monarchy, based on the polling we are seeing."
The curator of what could be New Zealand's most comprehensive collection of royal literature sees the monarchy fading too. Not from irrelevance or moves towards republicanism, but a growing understanding by their subjects that they, like them, are normal people.
"It's a terrible life being a royal. I wouldn't want to be one. Imagine always being told what to do. I bet they wake up sometimes and wish they were normal," she says.
The New Plymouth woman has devoted her life to collecting items that have value, because the royals are anything but normal. At last count, a decade ago, she had 7000 unique books and hundreds of folders full of clippings - enough to take up two rooms and half a double garage.
The value of her collection has her fearful to give out her last name, lest it give her exact location away. Barbara will be quite enough, she says.
"In the future, I hope we are not as intrusive into what they are doing because, let's face it, if the media hadn't been rushing around Diana, her driver wouldn't have been speeding and the crash would have never happened," she says.
"I think the media and the monarchy have learned to live together. I think they have to. Or else it could happen again."

THE results of a year's worth of work by media makeup students from Swindon College was on display last night at a special fashion show.
From Alice in Wonderland characters to the animal kingdom, brightly-dressed models showed off a variety of skills, from body-painting to prop design.
Held at the Steam Museum, the annual event is for B-Tech and HND students to demonstrate their work to family and friends.
Jennifer Dythem, a B-Tech course tutor, said: "This is the second year we have held the show at the Steam Museum and I think the setting really helps to bring out the best in everyone.
"The quality we have on display here is absolutely fantastic and gets better every year.
"A lot of work goes into everything they all do, so this show is very important to everyone. All the students look forward to it and it is a good chance for their parents and other family members to see what they have done."
There was a special guest in the audience in Peter Sword King, a renowned makeup artist in the world of film which inspired everyone to raise their game.
Among those demonstrating their work was 1st year B-Tech student Amy O'Driscoll, 16, who put together a sea horse dress modelled by 17-year-old Christina Tucci.
Amy said: "We were given the theme of the animal kingdom and I went with a seahorse. I am really pleased with how everything has turned out.
"All my family are coming to the show so hopefully they will be pleased with everything I have done.
"The college have been absolutely brilliant. They work with you throughout the year and help you to progress. I wake up happy every day because I am doing something which I absolutely love."
The HND students worked in teams with an Alice in Wonderland theme to demonstrate more advanced skills, with plenty of large wigs and elaborate props on show.
Student Lisa Murphy, 35, said: "It has been hard work but we're all really pleased with how everything has turned out.
"We were only told the theme at the beginning of May so it has been quite hectic since then."
Modelling the team's work was 26-year-old Tessa Disney, who was dressed as Alice, complete with a giant book.
She said: "Everything on the costume we have had to make ourselves so we are showing everything we have learnt. This show is the perfect opportunity for us to show our work."

text: I have a 2003 Civic hybrid, the IMA light came on. On the way to the dealer, the engine light came on. The dealer diagnosed it as needing IMA battery replacement. Our dealer said our 2003 car is not covered (104k mileage, NY state). Called American Honda, they said it's not covered based on the VIN #. But several postings I've read so far said it should be covered, including one dealer who said it should be covered but he'd look into it. Where can I find this 10yr/150k warranty? I did find the write-up in the AM Honda website under "frequently asked questions ~ faq on Honda Hybrid" but the dealer argues that this is for 2010. However, the "faq" did not specifically say the warranty is for 2010. Do I have a chance of getting the warranty. I thing $4000 to get a battery replacement on a $6000 book value of a car is outrageous, considering the battery only cost $1200 to manufacture. Any suggestions/recommendations on what should do at this point?

Real Common Sense insists that America, plagued with consumerism and private interests, has strayed from its Founding principles and the vision for America of our forefathers. Brian Kahn exposes the deceptions of the extreme Right and reminds us of the real Tom Paine who would be baffled to have "inspired" this explosion of reactionary politics. Real Common Sense reminds us of the great principles and values on which our country was founded--freedom, equality, democracy--and how previous generations have fought for them in the very best moments in our nation's history. And it calls on us, during these difficult times, to pick up the torch and do what needs to be done if we are to create an America worthy of our grandchildren.
About the Author
Brian Kahn is host of the award-winning public radio program Home Ground. He has been published in the Los Angeles Times, The Nation, and Field & Stream. He has worked as a ranch hand, college boxing coach, lawyer, conservationist, and journalist.

Laveila's review of Lelo Mia 2 USB Rechargeable Clitoral Vibrator
Order by:
New does not always mean better
Reviewed: 22 September 2013 by Laveila, a Straight Single Female
I bought the Mia 2 as a present for my birthday. I was looking forward receiving the toy, but I admit that my feelings about the toy are mixed.
Packaging and content:
The toy arrives in the usual luxurious Lelo box, which would not disappoint anyone. Unfortunately I was disappointed with the content. The previous version of Mia came with a very handy cable which you can plug into the laptop and plug the Mia at the other end. I find this cable absolutely essential, as my laptop happens to be very thin and there is no way I would be able to plug the Mia directly into the laptop without damaging it. Luckily, I still do have the cable from my original Mia. Others may not be so lucky.
My second dislike goes to the new instruction manual. I have always been used to Lelo well written manuals, which were written specially for the toy which they came with. Unfortunately this is not the case with the new Mia. It is very general instruction booklet, which describes some buttons which are not even on the Mia and was most likely written as general instruction to all Lelo toys.
I do like the sample of Lelo lube. I think its a good way for people to try it, or it can come very handy if you are travelling. I did save mine for times when I did not want to take bottle with me.
The toy itself:
Okay. The Mia looks as luxurious as the original Mia. And it is now waterproof. This is a good thing as cleaning is now very easy, and you can also use your toy in bath or shower.
Another change is that the Mia now has more vibrating patterns, which makes it more comparable to the other Lelo toys. Previously only pulse modes were available on the Mia. Now you can choose from pulsating modes and 2 escalating modes, one shorter and one longer. And what seems to be completely random pattern.
Lelo claims that the Mia is now twice as powerful compared to original Mia. I believe it is true, unfortunately only if you look at the really first Mia, which was not really strong vibrator. That Mia was updated over 2 years ago and it became rather strong vibrator. As I have my previous version Mia still working, I decided out of curiosity to compare it with the Mia 2. Sadly, I have to report that I find the previous Mia stronger. I would say I have to go down about 3 speeds from the maximum to match the Mia 2 maximum speed. I admit I am bit disappointed.
In use:
The Mia is still powerful bullet vibrator and I would say more than most bullet vibrators I tried. When using it, I found it is powerful enough for me to reach orgasm easily, if I was really in the mood. Unfortunately I started to run into problems during times, when I wanted to play, but I was less sensitive than usual. I found that I did miss the higher speeds available on the previous Mia. And I either had to reach for it, or use an orgasm booster to reach orgasm with the Mia 2.
I do enjoy the new patterns, which are now available. I enjoy the longer escalating pattern for teasing and even more the last one, which seems to be completely random. Neither made me orgasm, but both got me close, so I only needed a short time on continuous vibrations. I know that patterns are personal preference, but I do ink this time Lelo is made the Mia closer to the rest of their toys with the variety they now offer on this toy.
Cleaning is now very easy, as the toy is waterproof, with the previous Mia you have to be very careful, as the cap is not a tight seal and water could get under it, if you did not watch out.
I think Mia is well built, travel friendly bullet vibrator, which many would enjoy. Unfortunately, as I have the previous Mia to compare to... I am bit disappointed by how Lelo approached this toy on many respects.
Firstly I find the toy weaker compared to the previous version of Mia. Secondly, l do miss the extension cable, as my laptop is thin and I am sure that others may face the same problem. And finally, I do believe that Lelo made worse job when making the documentation to go with this new Mia.
Originally you received a well written document written specially for the toy you bought, now you receive very generic information, which is not even fully relevant to Mia.
I would personally advise that people, who have previous version,should stick to it, unless you want waterproof toy with more patterns. Those, who are looking for a stronger bullet vibe and enjoy more power, or those who found even the previous Mia too weak... Look elsewhere. This is not a toy for you.
- Pros
- Waterproof, patterns.
- Cons
- Weaker compared to previous Mia, no extension cable, worse documentation.
- Bottom line
- Still a good bullet, but I am disappointed by Lelo.

Pinot Report: Top Ten Santa Lucia Highlands [Part 1]
"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
A sentiment I share and one which finds me in hearty agreement, but alas the world we live in today seems to be a bit more caught up in not only in the pursuit of gold, but also gain notoriety [aka, reality TV].
Now that said, the tale I'm about to tell is simply about "cheer", indeed something we can all 'clink' our glasses together and rejoice. About what you may ask, well finding some superbly well made Pinot Noir, that you should be running out to purchase this very moment [what are you waiting for?].
As some you may know, I've been teasing this out over the last few days; that I would be coming to you with my top-ten SLH Pinot Noir report. So here it's, I just yesterday attended the Santa Lucia Highlands tasting, in Costa Mesa. There was something like fourteen different producers, not that I was keeping score. So I thought I may have a tough time coming up with a top-ten list, luckily that was not the case at all.
When the average vino-sapien thinks of high-end Pinot Noir; the Santa Lucia Highlands is not the first thing that comes to mind right away. But I'm here to tell you that it should because there are some extraordinary wines being produced in this area, just south and east of Monterey, Big Sur is direct to the east and the vineyard sites look down into the Salinas Valley. You'll find many of the SLH wineries have a tasting room presence in the city of Monterey.
As I had tweeted out earlier, some of you may find my top ten reports to have a few surprises in the line-up; as I don't always go in for only touting the usual suspects, nor do I want to only be a part of the hallelujah-PN-chorus. So with no further ado, here's the first part of my top picks from yesterday's tasting.
1. 2009 Pessagno Central Avenue Vineyard PN, Monterey: The color was very unique, in direct comparison to the many others seen that day. A light colored burnt crumbled brick/strawberry. The nose was captivating, amazing florals, spice, strawberry/cherry. The first slurp, nice weight, structure and vivid acid carrying the fruit. At first slurp cola, near burnt-toast crusted with a strawberry jam. This wine sells for a mere SRP of $17.99, I scored it 92 Points. A best buy.
2. 2009 Pessagno SLH Pinot Noir: Another stunner, recently written up by WE, I could not believe what my mouth was experiencing. How could I've never heard of these folks before? Not sure, but I'm so glad I had a chance to get acquainted with their wines. We all know about yeasty-beasties and their role in the wine-making process. They use what has been described as a "Burgundian" yeast culture, known for producing bold flavors and aromas, right alongside natural yeast fermentation. Again the same color as above, a "sur lees" style that brings an invitation to flavor town. WOW, my score 92 points, the SRP is $28, what?
3. 2009 Four Boys Vineyard PN: This is their flagship bottle and my god it tastes like it, the fellas at WE oozed all over it with 94 points, I really could disagree too much. This wine was the best of the show, yesterday, a screaming fastball of flavor and finesse knocked cleanly out of the park. Folks this is SLH PN at its best. A PN rumored to be planted to the famous "La Tache" clone, as well as Dijon clones. The barrel-regimen is described as 75% new French Oak, over 11 months.
In the glass a burnt orange/strawberry color, nice barnyard funk in the nose, earthy, candied strawberry/plum and pie crust, nice acid carries the basket of summer fruit, lots of depth and polish. The SRP $55, and my score is 93 points.
I was hoping I would finish the entire list today, but I, unfortunately, will have to break this into a part-one and a part-two. That said look for part two tomorrow, as I have seven more fantastic SLH Pinot Noir wines you won't want to miss. Until next time, sip long and prosper cheers!

Olney: Sox and managing expectations
February, 20, 2011
By ESPNBoston.com
In the video above, ESPN's Buster Olney checks in with updates from Red Sox camp and Yankees camp. Olney also writes about Boston's confident camp in his blog this morning (Insider). Here's an excerpt:
There is a lot of confidence here -- not that you could draw it out of a spoken word. Dustin Pedroia politely waded through about a half-dozen questions about the sport-wide perception that the Red Sox are the team to beat until he finally had enough, saying he hadn't heard that about the projections of greatness for Boston. "I really didn't know that," said Pedroia. "I don't really watch TV. Thanks."
And then he was off to the batting cage, where Crawford and Kevin Youkilis and others had other gone through early pre-workout swings. When the Red Sox held a team meeting a little while later, John Henry spoke and so did Theo Epstein and Francona and others, and one theme was about managing those expectations. Just make sure you do what you need to do, they were told, although this group -- like those New York Yankees teams of the late '90s and the Philadelphia Phillies teams of recent years -- probably doesn't need a nudge.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Procter & Gamble (PG) is a $200 billion conglomerate with leading positions in consumer product categories like pet food, toothpaste, laundry detergent, batteries, shaving products, feminine care and shampoo. With that kind of reliability, what difference can a diaper make?
Procter & Gamble's latest focus uses testing and patents to design a "leak-proof" diaper that could keep competition well behind.
With its Pampers and Luvs brands, Procter & Gamble is the world market leader in diaper sales. Last year, the company had around a 35% market share. The company competes against Kimberly-Clark (KMB), owner of the Huggies brand, and generic brands from stores like Target (TGT). Private label brands like Kroger (KR) and Target make up a market share of 19%.
A new report from Bloomberg shows that Procter & Gamble is working on a diaper with "zero-leakage." The diaper would also give babies or toddlers an "underwear-like fit," providing dryness and comfort. Procter & Gamble spends millions of dollars each year testing new diapers to maintain its market share lead.
The question always remains whether consumers will spend the extra money versus generics.
As a father of a 19-month-old, I can say that the Pampers brand will be worth it if this super diaper hits the market. Generic diapers are nice, but the goal of keeping everything contained is worth any price.
Procter & Gamble is also benefiting from a growing diaper market. With an increase in world population and new areas of the world getting access to diapers, it is one of many companies that benefit from the growth. Asia and Latin America are the two biggest growth areas, and Procter & Gamble continues to bring some of its strong billion dollar brands and smaller localized brands to the regions.

Business Jet Center (BJC), a Dallas Love Field FBO, is now authorized by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) as a gateway for general aviation flights into Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). The company had to meet several TSA requirements, including the designation of an area within BJC for processing and screening the crew and passengers of flights departing from the FBO and going directly to DCA nonstop. The aircraft operator must also be authorized to use DCA. Business Jet Access, a BJC-affiliated Part 135 operator, is now authorized to operate charter flights to DCA.

" Brand: Braun / Blender Type: Handheld / Speeds: 5 Speed "
I bought this blitzer a number of years ago because I do a lot of cooking and I needed a multi purpose blitzer to help me in the kitchen. I did a bit of research but this seemed to be very popular at the time of purchase, with family and friends recommending it.
I'm really glad I bought this blitzer. It comes with three attachments; a whisk, a metal blender shaft, a high speed chopper for herbs and breadcrumbs and a beaker. I've use the metal blender shaft and the high speed chopper the most. The metal blender shaft is very useful for making soups, mashed potatoes, and other soft foods. It is especially good for mashing up baby food quickly. The high speed chopper is very good for making breadcrumbs and herbs, etc. I use this a lot as well to make breadcrumbs for potato fishcakes and it has proved very effective when you toast the bread first. Very tasty!
The settings on the blitzer are rather easy to use. There are two pressure buttons and a dial to choose the speed you need. The speed settings range from 1 to 12. The handle has a nice feel and it has been designed ergonomically to be comfortable when in use. There are release buttons on each side of the blitzer to change utensils and the plug is attatched to the top of the blitzer next to the speed dial. The cord for the plug is on the shorter side, but we have a more than ample amount of plugs in our kitchen near the counter tops, so this isn't a problem for us. If the plugs in your kitchen are 'busy' 24/7 you could buy an extension lead for the plugs to solve the problem. It can be a bit of a nuisance to clean, but the pros definitely outweigh the cons.
Overall this blitzer is very good and we have had no problems. Great for any family!
Max Braun, born 1890 in East Prussia, was the sixth of seven sons of sailor and farmer Friedrich August Braun.
As a mechanical engineer, Max established a small engineering shop in Frankfurt, Germany in 1921. It was here that Braun invented a small apparatus to expand, fix or cut belts for machinery that he sparked the interest of English businessmen.
Two years later, he began producing components for radio sets.
Co-incidental to this, so dedicated in his desire to design innovative components that for many months Braun alongside a pharmacist friend, conducted experiments in the laundry room of the house where he lived, until eventually he devised a component for radios by heating crystal powder and forming it into a cylinder, connected to the contact point. Consumers could now tune in radio stations much easier by turning the crystal cylinder!
Within five years, the company had grown to such an extent that it had to move to new premises in the town of Idstein, Germany.
Though, throughout many years of hard work and quality engineering, Max Braun was not to witness the astounding commercial success of his amazing innovations. As On November 6, 1951, Max died unexpectingly while at work in his office.
But, this was a family affair in that Braun's sons Artur, 26, a qualified engineer like his father, and Erwin, 30, a qualified business administrator, who had both joined the company in 1950, took over its leadership after their father's death.
Acquisitions and developments taken into account, since 2005, Braun became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Procter & Gamble.
I wanted a basic small tool with less cumbersom components than a traditional mixer to blend products quickly. But, to ensure reliability, I wanted to purchase this electrical item from a respected and well established company.
The white and grey hand held blender is a real blessing, as I no longer have to haul out the more bulky whisking machine for smaller functions.
One of the most important features for me is that the tool would have a powerful motor to cope with the various tasks I needed it for. This handy tool has a dynamic 400-watt motor. This in practical terms means that the device is most effective in processing dense hardy foods.
But, I don't always want a forceful fast revolving tool when blending certain foods such as whipping cream. This is where the Variable speed control comes in!
This model has a practical flexible changeable dial with five speed settings at the top of the tool in addition to its two turbo positions located on the front of the blender. This means that I can set the appliance on the gentler turbo action and set the speed dial lower to whisk eggs or change to the highest speed turbo action and set on the fifth speed to puree solid foods.
This Braun flexible apparatus handles literally any task I use it for providing I use the correct turbo and speed settings along with the correct tool attachment. But none of this velocity would matter if the attachment blades were blunt!
One of the attachments is a mini food processor with a practical and safe anti-slip bottom for chopping foods such as onions, and a whisk for whipping ingredients like eggs.
The blender set also includes a convenient shaped tall beaker with lid, which I like to use for blending smoothies. The container is versatile in that I can use it for storing food.
The bulb shaped whisk is perfect in blending liquids.
The chopper attachment for slicing and dicing includes an extremely sharp stainless steel S-Blade. Although it is promises anti-splash, I think I use it on the wrong setting! I have used this Braun attachment more than any others, and it remains as razor-sharp as when I first purchased the blender over a year ago! Which brings us to the safety issue?
The blender houses its motor blades within the wavy designed steel accessory tool. Therefore, the blades do not protrude out from under the tool's wavy edges. Co-incidental to this, as the unit comprises an 8-inch slim motor handle, the accessory's blades and whisking devices are far enough away from the user's hands and fingers so as not to be a safety issue.
The processor incorporates a fan-cooled motor, which is a vital component to keep the mechanism cool when it is being used for high function use and/or in use for a while! In addition to this, the motor is secured into the unit by vibration dampers.
A rubber type washer provides a seal around the output shaft to prevent any liquids etc, entering into the motor.
The comprehensive manual that comes with the blender includes all safety instructions necessary to operate the apparatus without harm.
As mentioned above, the unit comprises an 8-inch slim motor handle, which at 908gms is light weight enough to perform all task with ease, no matter how long one needs to hold the equipment steady.
With Easy and quick click-in attachments, this blender is up and running in no time at all!
The baton design constituent reaches easily into bowls etc, and the ergonomically constructed soft handle affords a comfortable grip.
With one touch turbo button and pliable easy turn speed setting, this implement is very user-friendly.
As blender attachments get right into food preparation, it was important to me that I could easily clean the tools. Although I do not have a dish washer, these supplementary elements can be used in these machines.
But I simply detach the used extensions and wash them in hot soapy water. Then I leave to dry on the drainer. In this way, no bacteria are transferred onto the tools and there is no concern in drying the blades. The device that houses the motor can easily be wiped using a damp cloth previously rinsed in soapy water. The blender & attachments come up gleaming.
The hand blender can be secured to the wall for neat and safe storage using the wall holder that comes complete with fitments.
The attachments are not voluminous; therefore, I place these in the crockery cupboard.
As blenders go through substantial use, it is wise to ensure they are covered by a warranty. Braun is covered by a year's guarantee.
£45 from on-line social site E-bay.
Would i recommend this product? Only if one wishes an easier life in the kitchen environment!
With its 400 Watt power and unique Turbo function, the new Braun Multiquick is the right tool for those seeking Professional results in all functions / Blending, pureeing, chopping of hard ingredients like Parmesan or making a real, smooth Gazpacho are easy tasks / Its new and innovative Big Chopper with Ice crusher insert allows mixing drinks and crushes ice in only seconds / And the new, unique anti-splashing blender shaft design with its easy to clean design minimizes messy splashing / Food processing has never been so easy / Short name: Braun MR 5550 CA

THE army is launching a major recruitment drive in Bolton as part of a national campaign.
Next Tuesday's two-hour event, starting at 7.30pm, is run by Bolton's 216 Battery, Royal Artillery, at the Bolton Army Reserve Centre in Nelson Street, Bolton.
More than 6,000 jobs, from mechanics to veterinary technicians and fitness instructors are on offer.
The public can speak to serving soldiers to get an understanding of army life and see a variety of the latest kit and equipment.
Brigadier Andrew Jackson, the director of army recruiting and training, said, "Joining the army Reserve is an exciting opportunity for anyone looking to do something extra with their time and benefit from a rewarding experience outside of normal working hours.
"These events aim to showcase the broad range of jobs and world class training and development prospects available to anyone who is interested in joining or who thinks they know someone who would want to find out more.
"No matter what your skills or background, the army reserve has something to offer you.
"There is much more beyond military skill; it can take you abroad, equip you with new skills, give you invaluable experience and develop strengths you didn't know you had." The Ministry of Defence will be investing an additional £1.8 billion over 10 years in the army reserve, it says, to fund better training and modern equipment.
It will also be boosting its trained staff with new incentives such as increasing pay through a paid annual leave entitlement and giving better access to welfare support and health services.
Go here for details about career opportunities available in the army reserve.

92 Clubs – Day 42 – West Brom, West Ham
This should have been an easy day and it effectively was. But it could have been an absolute nightmare, due to signalling problems in the Wolverhampton area. Someone said it was cable theft, but I can't find any reference on the web.
I'd taken the 10:23 from Euston and I knew I could change at either New Street or Sandwell and Dudley. I chose the first, which did mean a walk to Moor Street, but it was also a direct train to the station at The Hawthorns. The other route may well have been a couple of minutes quicker, but due to the signalling problems it might have been difficult.
West Brom 's ground is only a short walk from the station of the same name, with separately signposted routes for home and away fans.
As with most grounds this week, because of the International break, it was all rather quiet, so I took a couple of photos and returned to the station.
The trains seemed to be running erratically, so I thought I'd take one of Birmingham's trams back to the city centre. In some ways, these are the UK's forgotten tram system and it could surely benefit with some limited expansion.
It was a wise move as the tram accepted my return ticket, due to the signalling problems and it was only about fifteen minutes walk to New Street for the train home. It would have been nice if the trams had connected to Birmingham's main station.
I had plenty of the day left and I came home first before I took the Overground to Whitechapel before changing to the District line for Upton Park and West Ham's stadium of the same name as the station.
The ground's architecture is unusual to say the least. It seems to owe a lot to the Disneys of the world. I'd never seen this side before, as usuallyI've been to the stadium in the dark and the the away supporters are on the other side.

Hate to correct your so far impeccable footy knowledge James but actually it's the Boleyn Ground. Perhaps after the Boleyn pub round in Barking Road. Which reminds me in the late 1960s somehow or another Man U played a midweek evening game at West Ham. After the match they took over the Boleyn; no trouble, paid for their beer okay but wouldnt leave at closing time, what to do? Enter Ted Ivermee, then Superintendent at East Ham who granted the licensee an extension – written on a beer mat.

Fish dads with 'Napoleon complex' act tough
Among hardy little fish from central Australia, smaller males overcompensate for their size with extra aggression.
"We found the aggression of males was not affected by the presence of females and perceived mating opportunities or larger male intruders. Instead their aggression was related to their size," says Bob Wong, senior lecturer at Monash University.
"The only hope for a small male may be that an intruder would then leave, without a fight," says study leader Andreas Svensson.

Duke Basketball: Ryan Kelly Injury Highlights Blue Devils' Major WeaknessJanuary 10, 2013
The Duke Blue Devils might just be the least intimidating No. 1 ranked 15-0 team of all time.
Of course, that certainly wasn't the case a few days ago.
With wins over Minnesota, Louisville, Ohio State, VCU, Temple, Kentucky and Santa Clara (most teams would gladly accept that as a full-season resume) before conference play, Mike Krzyzewski's squad established itself as a clear contender for the national championship.
But despite one of the most impressive starts to a college basketball season you've likely ever seen, Duke has always had one glaring flaw:
A lack of depth.
When senior forward Ryan Kelly hit the floor in the first half of Tuesday night's win over Clemson, that flaw, much like the Grinch's heart, grew three times in size.
Unfortunately for the Cameron Crazies, the news got even more dreary on Wednesday (via ESPN's Jay Williams):
Breaking News: Ryan Kelly out indefinitely with injured right foot. @espncbb #dukebasketball #ACC— Jay Williams (@RealJayWilliams) January 9, 2013
However, The White Raven himself offered a much more optimistic view (via CBS Sports' Jeff Goodman):
Ryan Kelly update: Duke is optimistic he could miss as little as two weeks. More likely timetable is four weeks: cbsprt.co/VIybZt— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanCBS) January 10, 2013
No matter how long Kelly is sidelined, it's a significant blow to the Blue Devils for several different reasons.
First, as we already mentioned, Duke's lack of depth leaves essentially no room for injuries of this nature.
As it stands now, Krzyzewski deploys a rotation of essentially six players: Kelly, Mason Plumlee, Seth Curry, Quinn Cook, Rasheed Sulaimon and Tyler Thornton.
Those six all average over 20 minutes per game, while Josh Hairston is next on the team at 11.3 per contest.
In Kelly's stead, someone is going to have to log some extra time. Duke certainly has talented big men with lots of potential (Amile Jefferson, Alex Murphy and Marshall Plumlee), but none of the youngsters have proved to be ready to contribute in a major way.
That means Hairston, who has scored three points and grabbed two rebounds in 34 minutes over the past two games and is a complete non-factor on the offensive end, is the most likely to take Kelly's spot. That's not good.
Second, Kelly's absence hurts the Blue Devils on the glass.
As a face-up 4, The White Raven isn't a good rebounder for his size. A rebounding percentage of 11.5 (695th in America) is actually downright atrocious for a 6'11" power forward.
But the Blue Devils are 115th in the country in rebounds per game and 275th in rebounding percentage. They can use all the big bodies they can get, even when those bodies aren't willing to bang down low most of the time.
Finally, Kelly is a major weapon on the offensive end.
He's averaging a solid 13.4 points per game, but more importantly, he is shooting 47.1 percent from the field and a staggering 52.1 percent from long range. He spreads the floor for the wings to penetrate, creates mismatches and is a big reason why the Blue Devils are 13th in the country in offensive points per game.
There's no overstating how bad the Blue Devils need Kelly to make a swift return.
With him in the lineup, they are a serious threat to cut down the nets in Atlanta. Without him, they are a threat to repeat last year's disappointing results.

BOYNTON BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — Boynton Beach PD is cleaning up the streets by busting quite a few prostitutes and pimps…then sharing their names!
Here is the official press release from the police:
A two-night undercover operation led to the arrest of 11 prostitutes and two pimps, as well as the seizure of drugs and information about a shooting investigation.
Operation Give Me a Call focused on juveniles being prostituted via online social bulletin boards in the hopes of police locating missing or runaway teens.
While none of the prostitutes arrested were juveniles, detectives did receive information about some of their locations and were able to provide intelligence to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Detectives from the Boynton Beach Police Department along with members of the South Florida Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and the FBI teamed up for the operation, which was held Wednesday and Thursday nights in a hotel room in Boynton Beach.
Detectives responded to advertisements for sexual encounters on Backpage.com. The women showed up at the hotel and made a deal to trade sex money for sex with the undercover detectives. They were then arrested.
One of the women who responded to the hotel provided detectives with information about a shooting that occurred Wednesday afternoon on Southeast Second Street.
Detectives charged the following women with prostitution: Marsha Jackson, 32; Tara Fletcher of Boynton Beach, 28; Jessica Erb of Boynton Beach, 19; Ariela Mintka of Boynton Beach, 24; Tiara Pate of Cleveland, Ohio, 22; Rimbow Gomez of Boynton Beach, 26; Jennifer Dibiase of Lake Worth, 30; Brittney Owens of West Palm Beach, 29; Leslie Arnsperger of Dania Beach, 29; Rachel Cope of Las Vegas, Nevada, 35; and Stephanie Schoch of Boynton Beach, 28. Two men – Anthony Walker of Las Vegas, Nevada, 32; and Willie Cooks of West Palm Beach, 36 – were charged with living off earnings of prostitution and providing transportation for the purposes of prostitution.
All were booked into the Palm Beach County Jail.

When your riding is all about huge days in the saddle and endless singletrack, XTR Trail Pedals need to be on your bike. These all mountain pedals connect you to your steed like never before, maximizing all of your strength. To achieve this feat, they use the famous SPD bindings with wider bearing placement for the ultimate rigidity under load. Plus, these pedals boast a ton of shoe/pedal contact area thanks to extended platform. That platform is something you'll appreciate when clipping back in is secondary to just hanging on. And, last but not least, the slim profile adds ground clearance, reduces weight and increases mud-shedding capability.

These are wonderful pedals!

About Me Avid Cyclist
We live in northern [...] and actually the riding on the trails can be very technical. (I have ridden all over the USA and Canada.) I was looking for a new pedal that had more of a platform so when I wasn't confident being locked in due to tough trail conditions I could still pedal effectively. I was also looking for an easily adjustable pedal that was easy to clean and lubricate as well. These are certainly great and I have over a year on them and have even put the same on my road bike!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Creating a benefits strategic plan for your clients (50 lives and larger) is a great way to engage clients in a discussion about what are they trying to accomplish with their benefits program and expenditures over the next three to five years. Your clients are going to be coping with all the market dynamics and the rippling effects of regulatory compliance, so what they need is a process for managing change. And you can be their "change agent."
You need to become their "trusted adviser," and not just in a superficial, name-change sort of way. No, you have to become their consultant and confidant on a broad range of human resource issues, including their provisioning of benefits.

Young players on the fringe of making the NBA typically face a tough decision: Take the money in Europe or maximize your exposure by playing NBA style basketball in front of NBA personnel in the D-League.
Mustafa Shakur did both, and now he may have his best chance yet to make the NBA with the New Orleans Hornets.
Along the way of a career that has meandered through Poland, Spain, Greece and Oklahoma, Shakur has particularly improved as a shooter, averaging 19.2 points and 6.2 assists for Tulsa in the D-League last season.
He has also attended NBA camps with Sacramento and Minnesota, making the Kings for a day in 2007 before Sacramento cut him and going to camp with the Timberwolves last season.
"I think I made a lot" of improvements, Shakur said today on a phone interview from Louisiana. "My senior year in college I started to get my confidence back but it wasn't always there. My first year in Poland, I started to regain my confidence because you really have to shoot when you get an open shot there.
"I would say I was very confident in playmaking and in running the show but now I can also take the open shot," Shakur said. "Before I didn't want to hurt the team."
Shakur entered UA in 2003 as a McDonalds All-American - as was Chris Paul, whom Shakur is now vying to serve as a backup point guard for - and faced high expectations from the moment he took the ball for the Wildcats as a freshman. But he said the pressure wasn't a problem for his confidence.
"I really didn't think about it," Shakur said. "The expectation for everybody was to win a championship. All four years we had respectable years but not for the expectations of Arizona. You really can't fall short of that. It's not like at other schools."
Greg Byrne beat the drums in Yuma.
UNLV's Tre'Von Willis will miss at least three games this season after a plea bargain agreement stemming from a felony domestic battery charge. Willis dropped 25 points on UA in the Rebels' overtime win at McKale Center last season.

The impact a communications system has on corporate image is often overlooked. With the right VoIP solution smaller businesses are able to effortlessly manage their telecommunications processes in an efficient and organized fashion.
1. A wide variety of easy to use call handling features.
A VoIP solution designed for smaller enterprises will provide the most advanced call handling features, similar to those found in the complex systems utilized by major Fortune 500 enterprises. Some of these features include automated attendant, enhanced voicemail, IP fax, voicemail to email notification, Find Me – Follow Me, and many business enhancing menu options.
An automated attendant exists to professional greet incoming callers. These callers will most often be given a menu to choose their most appropriate party. Multiple callers can easily be greeted and routed, ensuring that no caller to the business ever hears a busy signal.
2. No call is ever missed.
Find Me – Follow Me is quickly becoming one of the most sought after business communications features. It ensures that calls to a designated number are redirected to a list of available numbers, allowing for seamless communications between employees and clients even when the employee is miles away from the office location.
3. Budget friendly communications.
Taking advantage of the business enhancing properties of VoIP, through a hosted option, does not require the purchase of costly onsite equipment and in most cases is available for a low monthly flat rate. The hosted solutions provider will not only house their infrastructure offsite, they will also assume responsibility for ongoing maintenance and support.

Fury, frailty in Kiri Dalena's 'Washed Out'
The onset of the monsoon, the opening of classes, Corona's impeachment, even Pacquiao's humbling defeat, may have diminished memories of 2010's yearend disaster, typhoon "Sendong." But not in Kiri Dalena's powerful installation and twin videos "Washed Out" in Finale Art File's Tall Gallery.
Like a mythic Cassandra, this thin, long-haired woman, who answers to the almost self-prophesying full name of Gabriela (after the heroine from the North) Krista (after Christ), issues a strong warning to viewers who go through a hushed walk inside a maze of sawn logs, originally from three huge chunks of balete, tipolo and lauan. It is a walk that needs no strident environmental and political activist's statement because the chilling message can be felt.
These logs are representative of the others that tumbled down from the mountains of Kapai in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao. Apart from the unexpected, thus deadly, floods that came in the night, the logs crushed hundreds of people to death, injured more and demolished property on their path at the height of the storm.
Iligan and Cagayan de Oro cities are still in the midst of trauma relief and rebuilding.
Dalena, daughter of painter Danny Dalena and sculptor Julie Lluch and youngest sister of fellow visual artists Aba and Sari, remembers the fatal night of Dec. 16. She was at the lantern parade of University of the Philippines Diliman and noticed how unusually windy it was. The next morning, a cousin sent a message that her house was flooded, with all their stuff floating in the water.
Dalena says: "I found it strange. I've never heard of a flood hitting Iligan in the past. To my knowledge, storms never go the way of Iligan. More messages came in. The images posted by family members on the Internet followed. That was when we started to grow more worried."
From Iligan
She had reason to be anxious. The Lluchs are from Iligan. The city was where the Manila-born and raised Dalena girls spent joyous summers of their youth.
She continues: "I have plenty of cousins there who're my age. We were wild in the sense that we loved exploring our surroundings. Upon waking up, the first thing we'd do was climb trees. We knew where the birds' nests were, if the fruits of the trees near us had ripened. We turned frogs' eggs into necklaces; dug our own fishponds; kept snails, frogs and flying lizards as pets. When there was rain and water collected nearby, we'd be there immediately, soaking ourselves. We made up names for weeds ("water bombs") and other plants or trees (aslum de lido) whose real names we didn't know."
This affinity with nature helped shape her decision to major in Human Ecology at UP Los Baños before she eventually gravitated to the arts. In high school, she thought she "would rather deal with the environment and animals and imagined myself working for something like National Geographic magazine in the future."
Her exposure to politically aware parents also enabled her to articulate what was wrong when she saw it.
She recalls: "When I was nine, I always wrote down the plate numbers of smoke belchers on my way to school on the school bus. Then I sent the list to the Land Transportation Office. One day, some policemen (they looked like policemen, but I'm not sure now) came to my school and house and told me they received my letters and thanked me."
All that seems child's play compared to Sendong's aftermath when she found herself "hitching" a ride in a military chopper during the Christmas season to film what would go into the two videos projected on the gallery walls. Dalena wasn't even conceptualizing an exhibit then.
She says, "There was space in one of the helicopters bringing food aid to the hinterland barangays that were cut off by Sendong. I was with an Inquirer correspondent. I asked permission from the general in charge of the helicopters and waited for available space. This was my second time to ride a Huey, so I was not uncomfortable about going very close to the edge to shoot the ground. What I didn't like was a machine gun fixed on the side. It was intimidating. I was told it was for security because the helicopter was flying over areas known to be enemy lairs. I cropped the gun from the shots, but I wished that they dismantled it and just placed a symbol for the relief mission."
When she later planned the exhibit, she didn't realize she had to undergo bureaucratic red tape with various levels of the Departments of Social Welfare and Development, and Environment and Natural Resources. She had to make them understand what she would use the extraordinarily big logs for. These departments found the idea of an installation new. Getting the right permits took all of four months, starting Valentine's Day.
Mother's assistance
Dalena says: "Mom helped immensely in this. I don't think this was possible without her. She shared my travails and showed patience in Iligan while we were in the process of getting a permit. Months after the storm, we still go to the seashore together looking at remnants of the logs."
The video projections, portions of which show the remaining forested areas of the ARMM, the length of the mighty Mandulog River that overflowed, the ghost villages, even children playing by the shore at dusk to symbolize hope, were not without their challenges in mounting.
Dalena says Finale has projectors, but they weren't enough for what she envisioned as a larger-than-life projection. What ensued were more collaborations with the technical and artistic sectors.
Canon, sponsor of the high-resolution projectors for a month, informed the artist that it was their first involvement in an art gallery/video installation. Optima Digital graded the images.
Her art network pitched in. A photographer, a filmmaker and an installation artist lent their equipment, such as media players and memory cards, for free.
The other hard part was conceptualizing which of the many images she shot would go into the projections. What she was sure of was the image of a ghostly house, except for a window where a curtain is seen moving at the slightest breeze.
Dalena says: "I wanted the house in there. That house is etched in my memory. Although it was emptied of contents, the roof missing and most of its walls were down, it was still standing. That fluttering curtain was the only clue that it used to be a very normal house."
She shares credit with curator Lisa Chikiamko, who helped on the video, the placement of logs, and making the content coherent.
What she wants is for viewers, particularly schoolchildren on field trips, to experience "what it was like to be in the presence of the logs," she says.
She adds that the three-dimensional nature of the installation and the interaction with the space can make them understand the disaster which will be near-impossible to attain if seen on something flat like newspaper or television images.
"Washed Out" is on view until June 30. Finale is at La Fuerza Compound, 2241 Chino Roces Ave., Makati City.

Sun Belle relocating to facility in Maryland
Sun Belle Inc. plans to move from its Washington, D.C., location to a larger, facility in Jessup, Md., in November, president Janice Honigberg said.
"We have outgrown our existing facility in Washington, D.C.," she said. "This is a 63,000-square-foot building, which we are building to our specifications."
The new facility includes 40,000 square feet of refrigerated space separated into eight chambers and a pre-cooling facility that will permit exact temperature control, depending on the product, Honigberg said.
The distribution center, which is near the Maryland Wholesale Produce Center, also will feature an Airocide air quality system.
Honigberg said the new facility would allow Sun Belle to handle larger quantities of berries, greenhouse vegetables and specialty produce.
