Did You Know Topshop Has These Rad Beauty Products?

Katie McCarthy

Reliable basics, adorable dresses, edgy shoes and accessories—you can accidentally-on-purpose spend your whole paycheck at Topshop in the blink of an eye. But no trip to Topshop is complete without a spin through the beauty section.

Although its offerings are modest in number, Topshop’s beauty department sells seriously good makeup: highly pigmented lip, cheek, and eye colours with runway-inspired shades; great dupes for luxury products; and tried-and-true staples cheap enough to buy in bulk.

In honour of the Topshop’s 5 Years of Beauty capsule collection—a “birthday” collection featuring some of the brand’s best-selling products in limited-edition packaging—here are the five best makeup buys at Topshop.

Revealed! The False Eyelash Brand Kendall and Gigi Use

Mary Peffer

We realise it's a given that supermodels Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid will look gorgeous no matter what their makeup routine consists of. They also have access to the biggest beauty industry professionals in the world, so we perk up at the chance to learn any of their pro tips.

Hand-in-hand during New York Fashion Week’s Harper’s Bazaar Icons event, the power couple’s beauty look was all about the eyes. The ladies’ makeup artist for the event, Patrick Ta, just so happened to reveal his long-lash secret to InStyle, and it only costs $4! No need to blink, you saw that right. Turns out Ta prefers over-the-counter brand Ardell Individuals Flare in Black ($4) for a little night-out lash plump. Ta’s technique for Jenner and Hadid combined two lengths: medium and short.

Want to try this at home? Always affix longer lashes toward the outer corner of the upper lash line to create the illusion of a larger eye. Yep—it's that easy. Keep scrolling to see snaps of the beauty icons' flawless false lashes.

Use surface mount cable raceways to protect and tidy up cable runs around the home or office where running through walls is not possible or practical. These raceways are useful for nearly any type of cable from phone, network, USB, VGA, Audio/Video, Speaker and more.

What is RSS ?

RSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated digital content, such as blogs, news feeds or podcasts.
Users of RSS content use programs called feed 'readers' or 'aggregators': the user 'subscribes' to a feed by supplying a link to that feed to their reader; the reader can then check the user's subscribed feeds to see if any of those feeds have new content, and if so, retrieve that content and present it to the user.

How to use RSS Feeds

You may have noticed that when you try to click on one the text near the orange, rectangular buttons up above , you just get a squirrelly looking PAGE of code. RSS is written in XML (Extensible Markup Language), similar to html. Thats all fine and good, but you wont be able to read the feeds. Well, thats because you need an RSS feed reader to make it work. Some readers automatically take you to the full article, while with others, you must use their applications RSS button.

Hello everyone!

I have MANY nordicware and wilton 3D cake pans and form pans and I always end up with the same issue. Outside crunchy, inside mushy. My cornucopia turns out fine but my christmas tree ends up having a charcoal burnt star.
I have read that I need to lower the cooking temperature but different people say different things. Also, how much longer do I need to cook it for?

I will be baking soon for Halloween (3D skull Red Velvet cake with cream cheese frosting).

Any help is appreciated!!

Well it really does depend on where you live as humidty etc play a factor..Also everyone's ovens are different and one may be hotter than the other etc..First check to see if your oven is baking at the true temperature...You can do this by buying a oven thermometer.I bake my 3D cakes at 350 if they are a dark cake like chocolate and 325 for white cakes as they tend to burn faster on the outside so take longer at lower temp.3D pans also take longer anyways....Use a wooden skewer to check the inside and keep watchin..I check mine every ten minutes after they are almost done just to be sure they don't over bake.HTH

Press Release

CalHFA Approves $15 Million in Financing for Preservation of Affordable Housing in Fremont

January 8, 2013

FREMONT, CA – The California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) has approved $15 million in bond financing to assist with the preservation and rehabilitation of Century Village Apartments, a 100-unit affordable housing complex in Fremont.

Financing for the work is being made in part through CalHFA's Portfolio Preservation Loan Program, which provides acquisition, rehabilitation, and permanent loans for improvements to existing affordable multifamily housing – and makes them more energy efficient.

Built in 1972, Century Village Apartments is situated in the area known as the "Mission San José District." The 100-unit complex offers easy access to freeways, and a range of restaurants, retail stores and nearby hospitals.

"The restoration of Century Village Apartments will help in preserving and restoring affordable housing in California," said Claudia Cappio, CalHFA Executive Director. "Our Portfolio Preservation Program allows us to ensure that we continue to maintain affordable housing for Californians."

The Portfolio Preservation Program supports a cleaner environment by requiring a Green Physical Needs Assessment on all developments.

Cost-effective and environmentally-friendly upgrades for Century Village include photovoltaic and solar thermal panels, energy star appliances, air conditioners, and complete window replacement. The rehabilitation work will increase energy efficiencies by 44%.

Century Village Apartments will also receive framing for an additional 400 square feet of community space, a playground, and concrete sidewalks.

Century Village Apartments is located at 41299 Paseo Padre Parkway, in Fremont. Work is scheduled to begin at Century Village by December 2012 and is projected to be completed within a year.

CalHFA was established in 1975 with the goal of helping more Californian's live in a home they can afford. CalHFA's Multifamily division has invested more than $2 billion for the construction and preservation of 36,000 affordable rental housing units assisting nearly 85,000 very low and low income Californians.

For more information and qualification requirements on CalHFA's Portfolio Preservation Loan Program and the full complement of CalHFA programs, please visit or call toll free 877.9.CalHFA (877.922.5432).

Special TAPIR Seminar NOTE: Different Day than Usual

Recent progress of compact binary merger simulations in Kyoto group
Kenta Kiuchi, Research Associate Professor, Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan

Merger of a binary composed of a neutron star and/or a black hole is one of the most promising sources of gravitational waves. If we detected gravitational waves from them, it could tell us a validity of the general relativity in a strong gravitational field and the equation of state of neutron star matter. Furthermore, if gravitational waves from a compact binary merger and a short-hard gamma-ray burst are observed simultaneously, a long-standing puzzle on the central engine of short gamma-ray bursts could be resolved. In addition, compact binary mergers are a theoretical candidate of the rapid process nucleosynthesis site. Motivated by these facts, it is mandatory to build a physically reliable model of compact binary mergers and numerical relativity is a unique approach for this purpose. We are tackling this problem from several directions; the magneto-hydrodynamics, the neutrino radiation transfer, and a comprehensive study with simplified models. I will talk a current status of Kyoto Numerical Relativity group and future prospect on the compact binary mergers.

You're right, of course. But even if I would be rich enough to add literally every single 1LE part to my SS, its still not a "true" 1LE. And I don't think its Chevy's intent by releasing these "1LE upgrades" to create 100% clones.

I'm modding my SS with 1LE parts, in the areas that, in my opinion, represent the most desireable traits and structure of a 1LE for *far* less than what it would cost me to trade.

I can't really describe my method if exiting the car other than to say by parking in the garage I'm limited in how far I can open the door when I exit. I don't literally put all my wait on the strip but it's hard not to at least brush against it with my right foot as I try to stand. It's a design flaw in my opinion because my parking situation is not that uncommon and the material is quite brittle for such an exposed spot. The only way I can avoid touching it completely would be to avoid parking in my garage or exaggerate my "leg swing" when I stand and risk pushing my door into a concrete wall. I take very good care of my car and I've never had a similar problem over 20 years of driving. It's a bit asinine to insinuate those of us having this problem are careless and at fault because you haven't had the same issue. I'm just looking for a reasonable solution that works for me before I have it fixed. While new, my camaro was on the car lot for an entire Florida summer so I'm wondering if the strength of my weatherstripping could have been compromised from prolonged heat exposure because It's surprisingly brittle. I need to check to see if the door could be rubbing as well.

Hearst launches Good Housekeeping Institute online

Hearst magazines has launched the first stand-alone digital product for the Good Housekeeping brand, Good Housekeeping Institute online, which will feature product reviews.

Hearst launches Good Housekeeping Institute online
Hearst launches Good Housekeeping Institute online

Launched on 24 November, the website will collect more than 1,000 "Tried, tested and trusted" product reviews in one place. Good Housekeeping also plans to launch a magazine, Tried and Tested, as a quarterly supplement, the first issue to launch in March 2015.

The move marks the latest in a series of new ventures for the 94-year-old brand. In October, The Good Housekeeping Institute, the brand’s product testing department, moved to a glitzy new space at St Anne’s Court, Soho. The premises will conduct product testing at the open-plan, glass-fronted venue in addition to cookery classes and other events.

Editorial director of Good Housekeeping, Lindsay Nicholson, said the Good Housekeeping Institute was not a new venture, but the continuation of dedicated product testing that dates back to the initial brand launch in 1924.

Nicholson said the shifting of product reviews online opened up the magazine to new content. "If you buy the magazine, and are in the market for a washing machine, the advice contained can save you £200," she said. "If not in the market then it’s a blank page to you."

The Good Housekeeping Institute will be free to existing subscribers, but available to non-subscribers for a small fee. Reviews connect to vendors such as John Lewis or ao.com and includes current stock information. Sales deliver an affiliate fee for Good Housekeeping.

Victoria White has been appointed as digital director of Good Housekeeping (UK). She will be responsible for goodhousekeeping.co.uk and will oversee the newly launched Good Housekeeping Institute website, which offers consumer advice, tips and reviews.

Preferred products will win ‘recommended’ badges from the Good Housekeeping Institute, presenting an alternative to product review products such as Which?.

Good Housekeeping topped the Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC) figures for the hotly-contested women’s monthly figures in August, maintaining its lead over Conde Nast’s Glamour, which had previously held the title for more than a decade.

Asset manager Sprott Inc. increases net earnings and boosts revenues

TORONTO – Sprott Inc. is reporting first-quarter net income of $10.2 million, or four cents per share diluted, on revenues that increased by more than 19 per cent.

That’s up from $2.1 million, or one cent per share diluted, in the same quarter of 2013. Revenue increased to $32.9 million, up from $27.6 million year-over-year for the asset management company.

Assets under management were $7.7 billion as of March 31, down from $9.1 billion in the same period last year.

Management fees for Sprott (TSX:SII) were $19.4 million, a decrease of $6.6 million year-over-year.

“While our natural resource focused strategies led the way, almost all of our funds have delivered positive performance with several posting double digit returns year-to-date,” CEO Peter Grosskopf said in a release on Wednesday.

“We have also successfully maintained the sales momentum established during the second half of 2013, generating our third consecutive quarter of positive net sales.”

Sprott operates four businesses: asset management, physical bullion, private equity and debt and wealth management.

Gadget Watch: Typo keyboard case turns iPhone 5, 5S into close BlackBerry clone

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – If you love your iPhone but would prefer a physical keyboard, Typo could be for you.

But you might want to order soon. BlackBerry, the company that made physical typing on mobile devices an addictive craze, is suing Typo Products LLC, accusing it of copying its world-famous keyboard.

The idea’s great: With BlackBerry’s ongoing struggles and the rise of touch-only iPhones and Android phones, physical keyboards on mobile devices were headed to obsolescence. That’s a big loss for people who can use their thumbs to type as fast as 60 words per minute on a physical keyboard.

Enter the Typo Keyboard, a Ryan Seacrest-backed phone case that was showcased at this week’s International CES gadget show in Las Vegas.

HOW IT WORKS: Typo’s keyboard slips over an iPhone 5 or iPhone 5S like a protective case.

Its similarities with BlackBerry phones are notable: It has angle-cut keys suitable for thumb-typing. The keyboard layout is nearly identical — for example, with parentheses above the “T” and “Y” instead of the “9” and “0” on a typical keyboard. Thick silver bars separate rows of keys.

Physically, there are a few differences. Because the Typo case covers the iPhone’s home button, it added one with the same function on the bottom right. There’s a Bluetooth function on the “0” key so the Typo can connect to the iPhone wirelessly. A light bulb key on the bottom left gives Typo’s keys some lighting to use in dark environments.

THE DISPUTE: In a federal lawsuit filed Friday in San Francisco, BlackBerry Ltd. alleges that “Typo chose to copy BlackBerry’s iconic keyboard design” and is making money off of BlackBerry’s widespread recognition and goodwill.

Typo responded in a statement that BlackBerry’s claims “lack merit” and that the company is excited about its “innovative keyboard design.”

LOOK AND FEEL: In my hands, the Typo works fine — just like a BlackBerry — except it is blocked from using Apple Inc.’s autocorrect function while typing. So that means you have to tap misspelled words that are underlined in red later and choose from options to fix them. If you have an iPhone 5S, the fingerprint sensor will be covered up, so you’ll have to resort to inputting a passcode.

DEVELOPMENT: Laurence Hallier, the CEO and co-founder of Typo, said testers of the device included BlackBerry users and others.

“We wanted that thumb-typing like the BlackBerry,” he said. “We went out and priced it out. We built prototypes. It took us 18 months.”

Typo Products is a Los Angeles startup co-founded by Seacrest and Hallier.

AVAILABILITY: Typo sells for $99 and is expected to start shipping on Monday. It works only with the iPhone 5 and 5S, not the 5C or older iPhones.

RDSP Questions and Answers

Yet another interview, helped me create this set of RDSP questions and answers. As with all my advice in this area, I start with check the CRA RDSP Web Page Link, and read about this topic yourself, but hopefully some of these answers I put together will help. As for what happened to the article that was to come from this “interview”, I haven’t seen anything yet (I seem to be fun to interview, but the information I give out, isn’t very print worthy).

1. Approval for the Disability Tax Credit is required before an RDSP can be set up for an individual. It may be for a specified term or indefinite. How hard is it to obtain? Do you think disabled people or their caregivers need the assistance of a consultant (for fee or on commission) to get the approval?

For us, it wasn’t too hard, but luckily we had the help of Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre through CHEO (Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario) when my son was diagnosed with Autism. They assigned a social worker to help us, and the Psychologist who did the diagnosis filled in the appropriate forms (T-2201) to get the DTC, and then helped us get the DTC review “backdated” to when my son was born, as Autism is viewed as a disorder of brain development  (or as a from birth disability).

I have been fairly vocal in my dislike of “for fee or commission” firms that “help” folks get their DTC, as I think it is something that most folks should be able to do (with the help of their diagnosing physician). Many of these firms take a percentage of the DTC pay out, and some even attach trailers, so that they get a commission every year, which I think is excessive (if not loathsome).

2. What other free or low cost services are available in the community to help people making an application?

As I have said, we got help from OCTC, I would assume that if you lived near a large metropolitan area, the children’s hospital should be able to help you out. Ultimately this is a job for the diagnosing physician.  I have been told by a few of my readers that there are help groups in many communities that help folks (for free) get things done, if their physicians are unfamiliar with what needs to get done. Look on-line is my advice to look for this information at sites such as , Autism Ontario, or Children at Risk.

3.  Can you give me some examples of situations where eligibility for the DTC might be time limited and require re-application?

Depending on the diagnosis or how it is written up it can be either in perpetuity or for a fixed period of time. In our case we will have to reapply in about 5 years, because with some diagnosis (like high functioning Autism), the CRA wants to see if a “disabled” label is still justified.

My guess would be that with other permanent disabilities, it would be unlimited, eligibility

4. Who can set up an RDSP?
OK, let me preface this by saying ALL of this information is on line on the CRA’s web page.

If the child is under the age of majority, the parents, guardian or any public department or agency, that is legally authorized to act for the child can open an RDSP.

If the beneficiary is old enough and competent they can open one themselves, or their legal representative (guardian, parent, etc.,) can do so as well. A Qualified Family Member (QFM) can also do so, under the right circumstances.

5. What are minimum/maximum ages for participation in an RDSP?

Minimum age is birth, the maximum age and benefits stop being paid into the plan after the age of 59, so I guess that is the maximum age, but it may not make a lot of sense around that age, as the grants stop being added after the beneficiary turns 49.

6. When can the funds be withdrawn?
At any time, however, the program is designed for long term savings, so the government will ask for all bonds & grants paid over the past 10 years (up to that amount) as a penalty, if money is taken out early. Now if there is a shorter life expectancy (less than 5 years) there are rules to allow for limited withdrawals with less penalties.

7. Is the money in the fund taxable when it comes out?
Yes, parts of the money are taxable, depending on how large the grants were that were put into the plan by the government, and the growth of the money in the fund.

8.When selecting a financial institution to set up an RDSP, what questions should a consumer ask and what answers should they be looking for?
In our case, the obvious questions were: am I going to be able to  buy whatever I want? or will I be restricted to only buying specific Mutual Funds or GICs offered by the institution? For our situation, we went with TD Waterhouse because we had a great deal more flexibility in how the money could be invested in (in our cose low management fee index funds and GICs). Also TD Waterhouse was one of the first institutions to offer the savings program (that had this flexibility), and I had accounts already with Waterhouse.

9. How can funds in an RDSP be invested?

That depends on what the institution lets you purchase. If it is a GIC based vehicle that is all you can buy, if it is a Mutual Fund based solution, only the funds available from the provider, but ideally it should be like an RRSP, RESP or TFSA, saving in whatever you want to save in.

10. In your experience, do fees vary significantly among financial institutions?
I am not sure what other institutions charge, I know about the TD set up, but any fees over and above Management Fees for funds strike me as punitive and a bad thing, given who the money is intended to help.

11. What happens if you don’t have enough money to contribute every year on behalf of your child or dependant? Carry-forward of grant and bond eligibility?
The maximum amount eligible to deposit into a single RDSP (you can only have one for each beneficiary), is $200,000, and there is no maximum how much you can put in any year, so in theory, you could put the whole thing in, at the beginning, HOWEVER, the matching grants do have limitations.

12. Can a parent, relative or friend transfer money from an RRSP or RRIF to an RDSP? What are the tax implications of doing so?
Yes, there is an ability to roll moneys from an RRSP into an RDSP, but it does count against the total $200K limit, and will only get some grants money, for the year.

13. In what circumstances might it make sense to borrow money to make an annual contribution?
That’s a very good question, and I don’t really have an answer on that one. It depends on your ability to withstand interest payments and such? Given the grant and bond money is dependant on the parents’ income (until the age of majority is reached), it becomes a catch-22, should the parents go into debt on this? I think folks need to do the arithmetic for themselves and see whether it is worth taking on that risk.

14. What happens to the money in the account, the bond and grant money if an individual no longer meets the criteria for the DTC? i.e gets a heart transplant and resumes the normal activities of daily life.
Not sure about the heart transplant, I think you are still disabled, but that doesn’t matter. If the DTC is lost, you can apply to have the RDSP extended for a period, but eventually. All grant & bond moneys from the past 10 years must be paid back, but the growth in the fund can be rolled into an RRSP (I believe, not sure on that one though).

    Who is taxed on withdrawals from the RDSP? If the RDSP is setup for a child and withdrawals are made before the age of majority then is it the parent that is taxed?

    • bigcajunman December 11, 2015, 9:32 AM

      Depends on the age of the “child” I would assume, but it would be a very good question to ask the CRA. Typically if you attempt to take money out of an RDSP early, there are penalties (i.e. losing grants and government add ons), so in most cases this doesn’t come up.

      • RyanA December 11, 2015, 9:58 AM

        I found some information on the TD webpage which indicates that the government portion of the withdrawal is taxed at the child’s/beneficiary income level:
        Amounts paid include a blend of taxable and non-taxable amounts. The CDSG, CDSB and income components are fully taxable to the beneficiary, while the contribution component is not taxed.

  • Milburn July 22, 2015, 1:18 PM

    Thanks for that BCM!

    It’s all good information and I agree completely that people need to control their investment costs. I was briefly had an RDSP with BMO and I was outraged by the management fees. There were no fees for the account itself, but the investment options were limited to BMO mutual funds (with very high MERs and GICs with well below market rates). I have since moved on to TD Waterhouse.

    If families with autistic children are struggling with the T2201 application for the DTC, I have written an autism specifc guide for the procedure https://testasdfunding.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/t2201-guide.pdf (I know you have mentioned it before on your website and it is much appreciated). Those families with high functioning children with autism have an especially difficult time with the application and my guide reflects many of the questions they might have.

    • bigcajunman July 22, 2015, 1:33 PM

      Thanks for the reminder on that one, yes your guide is very helpful. Thanks! ✅ 👍👍👍

  • Ron Malis July 20, 2015, 12:09 PM

    Just a comment about your answer to question 8. I find that many maybe even most people do not understand more than the very basics of the RDSP and likely won’t take the time to learn it. While investment selection is important, being serviced by somebody who not only understands the RDSP, but also the broader financial issues, factors and opportunities is pretty helpful. The RDSP paperwork itself is complicated! So it’s not only where you open the RDSP that is important, but also and I think more importantly, who opens (and then services) it for you.

    • bigcajunman July 20, 2015, 12:25 PM

      Agreed, as with all investing strategies choose the strategy that you are comfortable with. Having said that, it does not mean you should be paying large service fees for the investments (simple couch potato portfolio or even a robo-advisor if you want to go wild is not as daunting as most think). My concern is that there are many folks who are trying to make too much money off folks who cannot afford it.

Henson Trusts, RDSP Gripes and #MoneyTalk

in Best of, Random Thoughts

Henson Trusts

A good start explanation of Henson Trusts

For my regular readers you know I am a big fan of Mark the Blunt Bean Counter (even if he is a rabid Leafs fan), and a while back he dropped me a note that he was going to be publishing an article on a topic I had asked him about a while ago, Henson Trusts. Mark said he knew a bit about them, but didn’t feel comfortable commenting on them, but did find someone who did a great job explaining another way for families of disabled loved ones to take care of them (financially). Mark got Katy Basi to write Estate Planning for Disabled Beneficiaries – Henson Trusts , and it is a great read. Next week Mark will be touching on another important topic (near and dear to my heart) the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP).

Speaking of RDSPs, this week I wrote about another annoying session with TD Direct Investing attempting to put money into my son’s RDSP, and naturally I wrote about it in, TD Investments RDSP Continues to Annoy. I am just flabbergasted by how the system works, and as Michael James pointed out (in an April Fool’s article) this may actually be a Deposit-Only Bank Account (i.e. I will never be able to get the money out of the darn thing). The added annoyance from previous posts about the account I only learned about because the young lady I was speaking with said, “Oh, I remember, with that type of account I have to…”, read the article to find out what the “…” entailed.

The only comment I can make about the fiasco that is the US Election is,“… people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones …” . That’s enough on that topic, let us hope it is over very soon, or that there are more Blue Jays games to watch instead!

Subscribing to Cannabis Culture changed my life!

In the spring of 2000 I subscribed to Cannabis Culture magazine. At the time I was living in Calgary, Alberta, with my 2-year old son, working as a temp at a stuffy old insurance company and toking up in in my car on lunchbreaks. A few weeks later I got an email from CC editor Dana Larsen, telling me that I had won a special contest and that he wanted to fly me to Vancouver to smoke and eat pot at a special Cannabis Culture Ganja Food Party with staff and friends.
I had been chosen along with another subscriber, who was from Boston. We were both flown to Vancouver where we had a great time partying with the CC crowd. I saw Vancouver’s hemp highlights, smoked many different kinds of dank herb, ate spectacular ganja food, met many marijuana celebrities and had an amazing time. (The party was covered in CC#28: Cannabis Culture Summer party hardy!)

When I got back to Calgary I started hanging out in the Cannabis Culture website, and began exchanging messages with a few other pot-loving people in the CC forums. Dana and I also stayed in touch and after a few weeks he called me again, this time to offer me a job as his personal assistant. So I quit my job in Calgary and took my son to our new home on the beautiful Sunshine Coast of British Columbia.

While working for Dana I stayed in touch with my internet friends, and one of them in particular, named “Foam”. He’s a fan of Dana’s Weedy Wednesday Smokefest on Pot-TV, and was inspired by an episode about the Sunshine Coast to move here from his home in the USA. He needed help on the long drive and asked me to come make the trip with him. I did, and during the week’s journey we fell in love, and were married soon after in the beautiful home we had found to live in together with our son.

My involvement with the marijuana movement has only increased. I helped Dana run both Federal and Provincial election campaigns, as well as running as a candidate for the BC Marijuana Party myself in the March 2001 elections, getting over 4% of the vote in my riding. Now I have begun the exciting new task of founding a medicinal cannabis compassion club on the Sunshine Coast, one of a half-dozen new clubs being sponsored by the BC Marijuana Party.

I can say that subscribing to Cannabis Culture has completely changed my universe for the better. I can’t guarantee that your subscription will win you a fabulous holiday, a new career, a soulmate, or political and activism success. But I do know that you’ll be very well informed about everything to do with our favourite plant, and that you’ll have many chances to win wicked prizes, chronic vacations and kind gifts just for being a subscriber to the magazine that absolutely improved my life!

Time For A Conservative Third Party?

Print Friendly

By J.D. Longstreet:

I’m tired — tired of being used.

It’s bad enough being used, but being used in a losing cause is even worse.

We conservatives have been the red-headed stepchild of the Republican Party for as long as I can remember. They run us out at every election to do the grunt work — then shunt us off to the rear as soon as the election is over. If they lose the election we are blamed for it. If they win, we get none of the credit.

The RINOS Must Go

They USE US — and I am fed up with it.

Now, every time anyone brings up the idea of a separate political party, a conservative political party, a “third” party all hell breaks loose and I/we are barraged with every excuse in the world as to why a “third” party won’t work.

Let’s be clear here. I’m not talking about a “centrist” third party. We already have that. It’s called the Republican Party. What I’m interested in is a “CONSERVATIVE” party — a political party of the right, conservative to the core, and unapologetic as hell about it, too.

It is true that a third political party in American politics will not work — so long as it remains THE third party.

“While America is traditionally a two-party system, third parties have played extremely important roles in America. These minor parties act as watchdogs, increase awareness about issues, and sometimes even split the vote changing the outcome of an election.” (SOURCE)

After taking part — in and watching the GOP implode upon itself — in the last two Presidential elections, seems to me we conservatives have the right to question the leadership of the GOP, which always seems to be drawn (mostly) from the blue bloods and country club set.

It’s just an observation on my part, but I have come to believe that the leadership of the GOP doesn’t really know how to handle themselves in a fight. They don’t go for the jugular of the Democratic Party when the fight is on. They rarely go for the throat of the opposition in the Congress, either.

Look. The Romney Campaign was badly managed. Heck, I’m convinced a political science class from Green Swamp University could have done a better job.

As a rule, I don’t waste my time with losers. BUT, I have been a registered Republican since my 21st birthday — well over 50 years ago. If you have to ask why, then you have obviously not read my scribbling before this one.

The GOP has been the “gentleman’s” party for as long as I can remember. Thinking myself a gentleman, it seemed the logical choice for me. There was a problem, however. See, I am a southern gentleman. A southern gentleman is defined as “a southern male (of breeding) with a bible in one hand and a cannon ball in the other.” James Dickey, a former Poet Laureate of my home state of South Carolina is the author of that definition. The meaning is clear. You can be reasonable in a disagreement with us and we can pray together about it, or be unreasonable, and we can — and will — engage in a smash-mouth, hair-pulling, eyeball gouging, knock-down-drag-out brawl.

And that is my problem with the GOP. They just do not seem willing to go to the wall, to push the limit, to get down in the gutter, when necessary, to take the fight to the opposition, set THEM back on their heels, knock THEM off balance, and take advantage of every opportunity the opposition makes available to the GOP.

Look at all the missed opportunities to go after the Obama campaign’s throat. Benghazigate was just hanging there, sparking in the sunshine, and the GOP did not go for it.

I learned something as a skinny little kid who wore glasses. NEVER FIGHT FAIR! Use anything and everything to your advantage — from your fists to a two by four. As the perpetual underdog — my survival was at stake — and I KNEW IT.
The GOP does not seem to have that sort of survival spirit — and without it, well, they’ve lost the fight before the first blow is struck.

For going on six decades now I have watched the GOP climb into the ring with the democrats and bob and weave, duck and cover, until a TKO — or an outright knockout — is called in favor of the democrats.

Maybe the time has finally come for me to move on. The question, of course is, move on to where? I’ll certainly never be a democrat. I’m a conservative born (I believe) into this world hardwired as such.

So, for lack of a viable third political party, I, too, will become an “Independent.” (Here in North Carolina, we have no Independents. Here you are either a Democrat, a Republican, or “Unaffiliated.”)

Conservatives need a home of their own … desperately.

Ford Ecosport spied in China, could arrive in India earlier than mid-2012

The Ford Ecosport has made headlines at the Auto Expo and it seems to create history in India soon. Raising the anticipation further, compact SUV was spotted during a road test in China. The spied version looks more like the Ford Ecosport concept launched at the Auto Expo. Interestingly, the Ford Exosport SUV thus spotted was almost production ready. So we can expect the Ford Ecosport launch in India sooner than expected. The Ford Ecosport price is expected to be in the range of Rs 8.5 lakh to Rs 9 lakh.

Notably, Ford India has triggered the compact SUV war in India with the announcement of the launch of Ford Ecosport at the Auto Expo in New Delhi. The turf that has been dominated by Premier Rio till now seems to have new entrants now. Maruti’s new SUV Maruti XA Alpha is also in the race but it is expected to be price higher.

Looking at the pictures of the spied version of the Ford Ecosport, it seems that it is a road test and was under little camouflage. It has more or less the same headlamps, chrome garnishing apart from the rear lights and the styling. Thus it is time to keep the fingers crossed and if the same Ford Ecosport that was launched at the Auto Expo hits production believe it or not but it will rock.

The Ecosport is expected to be available in diesel and petrol versions. However, Ford is reassessing the viability of the launch of a petrol avatar of the Ford Ecosport. The Ford Ecosport will be powered by a 1L three cylinder engine while the diesel model will have a 1.5L diesel engine under the hood. Now, it will be only the pricing that will play a crucial role in deciding the success or failure of this car as it has all the things that a compact SUV buyer look for.

How to Refinance Bad Credit Car Loans

Get Car Financing
Even with poor credit.

January 9, 2014
Refinancing a bad credit car loan can be quite simple if you will do some research and adhere to a few guidelines. Very simply, you will be borrowing money to pay off another debt because it will save you money in the long run due to the high interest rate that you are currently paying.

Find out what rates you can get for refinancing >>

Tips On Refinancing A Bad Credit Car Loan

Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to get your car appraised before refinancing. Since the refinance amount is based on the amount that you owe, not the amount that your car is actually worth, the lender is only concerned with how much money that you will need to borrow.

If you are planning on refinancing a bad credit car loan, make sure that you do not default on a payment. Your credit score should be reflective of improvements and be higher than when you originally financed the car as you have been making on-time payments.

If you choose to refinance a bad credit car loan, keep in mind that your interest rate might not be as low as someone who has a good credit score, but refinancing could substantially lower your payments.

Guidelines For Refinancing A Bad Credit Car Loan

To refinance a bad credit car loan, make sure that you:
  1. Are at least 18 years old
  2. Are a United States resident
  3. Have a car that was not manufactured more than 5 years ago (10 years with some refinance companies)
  4. Have a car with less than approximately 70,000 miles (more with some refinance companies)
A lender will be more apt to refinance a bad credit car loan if you have a gross income of at least $2,000 a month and are refinancing a sum that does not exceed a predetermined amount.

Aggregation clauses – Intrinsic Connection between transactions

AIG Europe Ltd .v. OC320301 LLP (formerly the International Law Partnership LLP) and others

17 May 2016

The Court of Appeal has recently given judgement in an appeal concerning the interpretation of the aggregation clause contained in the Minimum Terms and Conditions of Professional Indemnity Insurance for Solicitors in England and Wales.

The case concerned claims brought against a firm of solicitors arising out of property developments in Turkey and Morocco. The developments failed and a number of investors brought proceedings against the solicitors alleging that they had wrongly released monies from an escrow account without adequate security being in place to protect their investment. The claims were for in excess of £10 million. The solicitors policy of insurance was subject to a limit of indemnity of £3 million for any one claim.

The solicitors’ insurers sought a declaration that the claims should be treated as “one claim” under the policy. At first instance the Court held the key wording, “similar acts or omissions in a series of related matters or transactions”, to mean that the transactions should in some way be dependent upon each other so as to be treated as one claim. It was agreed as between the parties that each transaction was not so dependent on each other. The court therefore found that the claims should not be aggregated or treated as one.

The Court of Appeal however came to a different conclusion. The Court concluded that while the relationship did not need to be as narrow as “dependency”, there must be a relationship of some kind between the transactions beyond that of an outside factor, even if that extrinsic relationship was common to the transactions. The Court felt the fact of geography was too remote and rejected the insurers contentionthat any degree of relatedness between the matters or transactions was enough for claims to be aggregated.

The Court did not come to a conclusion on the facts as to whether the subject transactions were so related but remitted the issue back to the Commercial Court.

What does this mean?

The interpretation of aggregation clauses are invariably fact sensitive and it will be interesting to see how Courts in practice determine the “intrinsic” test. For example, the sale of apartments within the same building, are not likely, without some further connection, to be sufficiently related. Transactions that refer to each other may be sufficiently related as would those which are part of a single fraud; the fraud providing the connection between them.

1996 Ferrari F355 GTS 5.7 V8 from North America

3 Words... Oh My God

Maintenance is extremely expensive.

I have had to have the exhaust replaced because the car hit bottom and tore a hole in the exhaust I assume.

Tires don't last long on a ferrari.

Targa top leaks.

General Comments:

This car is amazingly fast. Once you pass 3000 RPM this car begins to scream like a banshee.

The F355 GTS with the Targa Top gives you all of the advantages of a convertible with the convenience of a hard top.

The 6 speed manual shift gate is hard to get used to, but once you do, you'll never go back to conventional.

The fast and the furious didn't give the 355 its due justice.. I would love to see a Toyota Supra even try to come near this car in performance.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Review Date: 3rd August, 2004

4th Aug 2004, 01:27

F355 with a 5.7 V8? Hmmm.

28th Mar 2005, 16:53

If you are comparing the F355 to the Supra in the movie Fast and the Furious... you don't know much about Supras. The highly modified Supra from the movie would have torn the Ferrari a new one.

Before you judge what I am saying, visit www.suprastore.com and see for yourself just how fast and powerful some modified Toyota Supras can be. But yes... the Ferrari F355 would beat a stock Toyota Supra Twin Turbo.

If you would like all the stats of the car from the Fast and the Furious movie, visit: http://www.rsportscars.com/toyota/1994-toyota-supra-fast-and-furious/

20th Feb 2007, 06:41

Actually the Ferrari in the fast and furious is a 348 spider not a 355 as you can tell by the front bumper lights. (the directors own car!)

Which means it would be a little bit closer to standard Supra performance and since the one used in the movie is not that tuned, the race is quite realistic.

The supra has air filter, exhaust and boost conroller.

If they had fully tuned all the cars on the movie they would have gone way way over budget.

4th Mar 2008, 04:29

Ferrari or Toyota... Hmmmmm... Wonder which I would rather have?!?

1996 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta 3.5 V8 gasoline from Switzerland

Fantastic engine, fantastic handling, fantastic looks. Expensive to service, but immense fun

One exhaust valve spring broke at 26000 Km (fortunately, no damage to the valve or piston).

Exhaust manifold both cracked, awaiting replacement (very common problem on 355s).

Battery charge does not last more than 1 week if the car remains unused.

General Comments:

The F355 is one of the best handling cars in the world, it's immense fun dispatching Porsches, Nissan Skylines and other more common machines into the weeds, as they desperately try to keep up on winding mountain roads. However, it requires considerable skill to take the 355 to 100% of its limits, due to its mid-engined layout and sharp steering response.

Comfort has proved surprisingly good on long journeys, and fuel consumption is rather good (15 to 25 mpg depending on driving style). The trunk is large enough for two people's items for a short holiday.

The straight line performance, however, did not impress me so much: the engine has little torque below 5000 rpm, and to expect slingshot acceleration it's always necessary to keep it revving very high. Other cars like the new Maserati Spyder 4200 or the Porsche 996 Turbo deliver a massive punch from 2000 rpm onwards; the F355 always requires high engine speeds, which can make it a less relaxed drive if you are looking for instance, BMW M5-dispatching mid-range performance.

I was unlucky with a valve spring breaking soon after buying the car, hence the low reliability rating; however, it's performed faultlessly ever since.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Review Date: 10th February, 2002

24th Feb 2006, 21:25

How could anyone compare a Skyline with a Ferrari. Who cares if the skyline has 550hp...you can't use it anywhere except a race track. The noise, the experience of driving a F355 is completely different and it looks a little better as well.

25th Feb 2006, 13:33

But it doesn't look as good as a Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis or the beautiful Lincoln Town Car.

7th Oct 2006, 18:50

A F355 is a real gem of a car. I have owned a Nissan, but prefer my F355 as it is a car that puts a smile on your face even when you're not driving it!! The Nissan was good, but the Ferrari is great.

21st Nov 2006, 09:56

What is so impressive about a Nissan Skyline? Never heard about or seen one in U.S. but found one on the internet. It looks like just an average car with less than 300 hp.

Am I missing something?

21st Nov 2006, 13:49

Yes you are missing a lot.

21st Nov 2006, 14:54

Skyline v Ferrari 355? Hmmm.

Well at least the Skyline should usually start!

But when the team of mechanics have finally got your 355 absolutely right, it is like being part of a work of art.

The Skyline will thrill you, but give you nausea, whereas the 355 will inspire you to feel that you have done something special.

Chalk and cheese.

Like comparing a Riva speedboat to a 1000hp powerboat, you will remember the feeling of emotion that Ferrari gave you for a long time.

Other mentalist-tuned Japanese cars will come and go.

31st Aug 2007, 04:53

I have a 1992 Acura NSX now. It won best of show at NSXPO 2003,out of 115 other NSX's.completely stock. Costs about 40k.Almost nothing to maintain. I am thinking about doubling my costs to buy a 355. How bad, really is the upkeep? Should I do it? Thanks.

22nd Oct 2007, 20:01

I have never owned a Ferrari F355 before, but I am seriosly thinking about getting one, can any one tell me what I should look out for and why are they so cheap second hand??

Also what are the running cost involved?

State Department calls for release of Vietnamese priest-activist

July 27, 2011

The US State Department is calling for the immediate release of Father Nguyen Van Ly, a human rights activist who was recently returned to prison.

Father Ly was released from prison in 2010 after suffering strokes. The decision to put him back in jail appears to have been motivated by his recent public statements, issued from house arrest, denouncing the government for human rights violations.

One killed, four injured when plane crashes on SD golf course - CBS News 8 - San Diego, CA News Station - KFMB Channel 8

One killed, four injured when plane crashes on SD golf course

Posted: Updated:

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - One person died and four others, including a child, were critically injured Monday when a home-built light plane headed to the Fullerton airport crashed on Admiral Baker Golf Course in San Diego County.

The single-engine Velocity Super XLRG5 went down in Tierrasanta near the 11th hole in the northern reaches of the military golf course just east of Interstate 15 shortly before 1 p.m., according to police and the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.

One of the occupants died at the scene. Emergency-services helicopters landed on the links so medics could airlift two of the badly injured survivors to a hospital, a dispatcher said. The others were transported by ground ambulance.

Soon after taking off from Montgomery Field about 12:45 p.m., the pilot of the plane radioed the tower to report that a door on the aircraft was stuck open and he was heading back to the Kearny Mesa airport to make an emergency landing, the Federal Aviation Administration reported. Flight controllers then lost contact with him, and the crash was reported moments later.

The plane, which is registered to a Mesa, Ariz., man, was en route to Fullerton Municipal Airport at the time of the accident, according to the FAA.

It was the second deadly light-plane crash to occur in the San Diego area in a week. On Tuesday morning, a twin-engine Beech 95-B55 went down in a field behind an Oceanside primary school and burst into flames, killing the pilot and sole occupant, 83-year-old Cecil Judd of San Clemente.

Witnesses said Judd's plane was "in obvious distress" with a sputtering engine just before it dropped nose-first into the brushy lot near San Luis Rey Elementary School, which had no classes in session at the time, police Lt. Leonard Mata said.

Our view: A crummy way to do business

Monday night the Columbus Municipal School District's Board of Trustees pulled a fast one on the teachers and parents who came out to hear discussion on Superintendent Martha Liddell's proposal for "early dismissal Wednesdays" during the 2012-2013 school year.

Under Liddell's plan, students would be released at 12:45 p.m. on Wednesdays, allowing teachers to attend professional development and training sessions. Students would be released 45 minutes later the other four days of the week to make up for the lost instruction time.

Early in the meeting, board member Currie Fisher motioned to adopt the plan, but the motion was not seconded. The board later went into executive session to finalize the contract negotiations with Liddell. They also discussed a received purchase offer for the Lee Middle property-a questionable topic for executive session.

Assuming the early release issue was settled, most of the crowd left. Executive session is typically reserved for the very end of the meeting.

Immediately after the board returned from executive session, board member Aubra Turner motioned again to pass the early release proposal. After being seconded by Fisher, she, Turner and Board President Tommy Prude voted in favor of adopting the plan. Glenn Lautzenhiser abstained from the vote and Jason Spears voted against.

Though board attorney David Dunn assured the board they were within their legal right to take up the issue after executive session, the decision to do so shows, at best, a lack of respect for the concerns of those who came to the meeting for that very issue and, at worst, a cowardly deception.

It also raises a legitimate question: What could have transpired during the executive session that prompted taking up the issue again? Discussion of that issue in executive session would be illegal.

Reasonably, Spears motioned to table the issue for a month to allow public discussion.

The adoption of this plan means additional work hours for teachers and has the potential to complicate the schedules of parents. Though the plan may be crucial to improving our schools as Liddell states, it deserves public discussion.

In a post-meeting email sent from Liddell to district teachers, principals and administrators she states, "As you know, there was a lengthy discussion tonight regarding my proposal to re-establish Early Release Wednesdays ... " The discussion she references was largely a speech she gave on the importance of re-implementing the policy after most of the community members had gone home.

Incredulously, Liddell addressed the lack of community discussion on the issue by saying community input "doesn't always work in the best interest of students." It takes a community, Dr. Liddell. While school boards must, from time to time, make unpopular calls (And this may be one of them.), community input is an essential part of the process. These are, after all, "public" schools.

For a school board that took a year to find a new superintendent and more than two weeks to negotiate a contract with the selected candidate, we wonder what's the rush?

Fake(?) NEC 2500A+ with DVD+R DL sold at Japan!

NEC 2500A, named as 2500A+ , started being sold at Japan supporting...

...reading/writing of DVD+R DL discs, DVD-ROM booktype (for +R/+R DL) media and region free (RPC1) status!

A company named Utobia, official NEC distributor at Japan, sells the 2500A+ drives, which are physicaly the same as the 2500A model, but include the new "improved" features...

As you may understand, this is not an official model, but a normal ND2500A flashed with un-official firmware.

We are not so sure if NEC actually approved this model, hopefully we will find out soon :-)

Update: Thanks to our Japanese viewers, we found out that it has been confirmed, the NEC 2500A+ is a ND-2500A with Herrie's 107v2B5 firmware installed...

Till this moment we don't know if this is official from NEC or un-official, users take care before buying any NEC 2500A+. Our Japanese visitors can visit PC5 Japanese BBS and Akiba PC Hotline for more information...

Intel XScale technology powers new portable digital devices

Intel has announced it is working with consumer electronics companies Creative Labs, iRiver America and Samsung to help them deliver a new category of digital devices called Portable Media Players (PMPs) that operate on Intel XScale technology to enable long battery life and high-quality video and audio.

These products are expected to help provide consumers with the ability to have anytime, anywhere access to their favourite authorised music, movies and photos residing on their PMP device. Intel XScale technology, with its high-performance and low-power consumption features, is helping to enable exciting new portable digital devices such as PMPs. It is another example of how Intel is developing technologies and standards to help create a more advanced digital home experience for consumers.

PMP devices are expected to be available by the manufacturers on retail shelves in 2004**. Creative Labs, iRiver America and Samsung are demonstrating PMP production intent devices here at the International Consumer Electronic Show.

A PMP with a 20GB hard drive is estimated to provide up to 70 hours of video storage, play 700 hours of music and hold up to 2 million photos. Actual device capabilities will vary. Intel XScale technology offers industry-leading, low-power consumption to help extend the battery life of these handheld devices by up to an estimated four to six hours.

To speed product development, Intel created a PMP reference design based on the Intel PXA255 applications processor, and includes a colour LCD panel, hard disk drive, AC97-compatible audio subsystem and a USB 2.0 interface. Microsoft engineers used the Intel PMP reference design to create their Windows CE-based Portable Media Center software.
