The issue of buyer power in agricultural markets was a focus of the Workshops on Agriculture and Antitrust Enforcement Issues in Our 21st Century Economy (“Workshops”) held jointly by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 2010. Empirical and anecdotal evidence related to the question of buyer power in several agricultural sectors was discussed during the Workshops. This paper describes the appropriate analytical framework for analyzing competition policy issues related to buyer power, including both monopsony and bargaining power and it identifies some of the specific facts and issues relevant to the application of this framework to important agricultural sectors, including poultry, livestock, dairy, and grain. This paper also presents some data on the farm-retail spread, and discusses issues in interpreting these data as evidence of the exercise of buyer power.

Three of the largest broadcast TV networks have sent a cease-and-desist letter to RedLasso , a little-known but rapidly growing video syndication site.
Fox News Network, NBC Universal, and CBS sent a letter on Monday, accusing the company of "building a business based on the unauthorized syndication of" the content owners' news, sports, and entertainment shows.
RedLasso records TV shows and then indexes clips so users can find, pull, and embed them on other Web sites. Reporter Liz Gannes over at Newteevee.com saw this one coming. Two weeks ago, Gannes noted that RedLasso had grown from 2 million unique users in November to 24 million in April.
Gannes wrote: "Now might be a pretty good time to get permission."
She added later that RedLasso executives told her they were on good terms with broadcasters. The executives' assertions, however, are untrue, the networks said in their letter to RedLasso. In the letter, the entertainment companies wrote that such statements "falsely convey an affiliation...when there is none."
At a timetheir content away for free, one has to wonder why RedLasso would even get into this business. Anyone can go to Hulu and grab embed code for many NBC Universal shows without violating the law.
I was in Los Angeles for the Digital Hollywood conference earlier this month and there was plenty ofmoving in to make deals with the studios. The big entertainment companies to cutting deals than ever, insiders told me.
They also said that partnerships awaited those that could help the entertainment industry solve problems of advertising, marketing, and syndication on the Internet.
Executives from King of Prussia, Pa.-based RedLasso were unavailable for comment.
Disclosure: CBS has agreed to acquire CNET Networks, publisher of News.com. The deal is expected to close in the third quarter.

Reports: ND953711-ND9: Characterizing Fuel Drop Vaporization at High-Pressure Environments
Song-Charng Kong, PhD, Iowa State University
This project is to conduct fundamental research on characterizing fuel drop vaporization at realistic combustion chamber environments. We first designed and fabricated a test chamber with proper piping, optical and data acquisition systems. After preliminary experiments to characterize fuel drop trajectory, the test chamber was further modified to sustain high pressures and temperatures. Various experiments of fuel drop vaporization were conducted. Data were processed using proper image processing techniques, which were also developed in this project.
Experimental apparatus and conditions
Experiments were conducted in a constant-volume chamber that can withstand high pressure and high temperature (as shown in Figure 1). The initial tests were under temperatures, ranging from 21 oC (294 K) to 550 oC (823 K) at 1 bar. Liquid n-heptane was used to test the repeatability of results at 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 oC. Figure 1 also shows a fuel drop is generated and suspended at the tip of a micro fiber for vaporization study. An image processing technique was developed to quantify the drop size history for deriving the vaporization rate. Heated nitrogen was used to increase the ambient temperature for vaporizing the liquid drop. The velocity of the incoming nitrogen was measured for flow characterization. Both anemometer and PIV techniques were employed to obtain the velocity profile. The results have shown that the nitrogen flow velocity is relatively small and stays in the laminar regime, thus not enhancing heat transfer significantly.
Some of the actual droplets images were shown in Fig. 2. As time goes by, the drop decreases in diameter because of vaporization. For example, at ambient temperature of 400 C, the liquid drop completely vanishes at 2.96 seconds. A parametric study was conducted for various test conditions, as shown in Figure 3. The fuels tested included single-component, bi-component, and practical multicomponent fuels. For single component fuel, results have shown the increase in the vaporization rate as the surrounding temperature was increased. The D-square curve reduces monotonically as the temperature increases.
Examples of bi-component (n-heptane and n-decane) drop vaporization are shown in Figure 4. As the amount of decane increases, the vaporization rate decreases because of the higher molecular weight (heavier component) with n-decane. The different slopes of the D-square curve at different stages indicate the different vaporization rates of two components.
The D-squire curves of gasoline and diesel fuel drops show the nonlinear behaviors of the multicomponent drop vaporization for low and moderate ambient temperatures. At high ambient temperatures, the vaporization rate is high with a nearly linear D-square curve. Overall, gasoline has a relatively higher vaporization rate than diesel fuel, as anticipated.
Impact of the research
This research will create knowledge on fuel drop vaporization, which is an important process in a combustion process. Better understanding of the fuel vaporization process can enhance our ability to prepare the combustible mixture and help control the combustion process. The experimental data generated from this project will be used for validating computational models, which in turn can be used to predict the performance of combustion systems.
This research has allowed the PI to learn the characteristics of drop vaporization at a fundamental level. Experimental study of fuel drop vaporization is a new research area to the PI. This project also provided the opportunity for the graduate student to design, fabricate, and assemble a system for studying fuel drop vaporization. The graduate student has also conducted preliminary experiments to investigate the drop vaporization phenomena and gained in this area.

Here’s Why SMS Marketing Is Literally The Best Idea Ever
I love Entrepreneur Magazine. It’s insightful, covers a variety of topics, and interviews top people in their field. So I was quite distressed to find an article entitled, “Here’s why SMS Marketing Is Literally the Worst Idea Ever”.
As I read it, it became clear that the author, Rustam Singh, must be having a really bad day. Or he suffers from some sort of anxiety to be so upset about SMS messaging. But at the end of the article he pointed readers to their Facebook page for comments. It was Entrepreneur India. SMS might be totally different in India. Still, I think his treatment of SMS marketing was extremely harsh. And potentially misleading for those who read it.
I don’t know all the laws and procedures in India, but here in the UK none of his arguments hold up. Here they are one by one, paired with the reasons SMS is “the best” here in the UK (but maybe not India? I can’t say).
1. "It's blatant spam"
While there certainly is SMS spam, it’s much less than you’ll find in email or even voice calls. In the UK, the ICO takes spam complaints very seriously and regularly fines or takes action against companies that send unsolicited messages.
And alternatively, if you’re receiving SMS marketing messages that you signed up for, then by definition it isn’t spam. It’s more likely you’re receiving great offers from a brand that you love anyway – which is why you signed up in the first place.
Of course, not every brand does SMS well, so whether you continue to get messages is completely under your control. Simply follow the instructions to opt out. If you can’t find the instructions and the company won’t tell you, or you still get messages afterwards, then you can complain to the ICO who will take action if enough customers complain. In the meantime, block the number and you’ll never see it again.
2. "Nobody is reading it. Ever."
Singh insists he doesn’t know anyone that reads “the whole SMS anymore”. Really? Most marketing messages are less than the 160 characters allotted per message. He goes on to say that government regulations require advertisers to display their brand first so it appears on the notification screen. So everyone, he says, simply swipes the message away and never reads it.
Here in the UK, it’s best practices to use some sort of identifier in your messages so your customers will read it. I can’t emphasise that enough. They are much more likely to delete it if it doesn’t have a brand name, or appears as a random message from a number or name they don’t recognise.
Beyond that, all the data I’ve ever seen shows SMS messages are still the most read and most acted upon form of direct marketing available today.
3. "160 character limitation"
Yes, SMS is short on space. Singh argues this makes it too difficult to “put everything you want to say” into a message. Further, advertisers compensate by using poor English, capital letters or exaggerated words.
Once again I argue the opposite is true. The fact SMS is so short is why it is so effective. There’s no commitment to read a text. You can scan it and be done in a matter of seconds. When it’s a marketing message you can decide quickly if it is something that interests you or not.
There are those advertisers that feel they need to emphasise a little too much, but they will soon learn better methods or lose subscribers. If their messages bother you, opt out. When everyone else does too, they’ll be forced to figure out what they did wrong.
Another point he makes is that if advertisers go over the 160 limit, they’ll have to pay double for the message. That makes them “wasteful” in the author’s mind. I wonder why he cares. If a company thinks it needs 175 or 200 characters in its message, so what? They’ve decided to pay more, undoubtedly in hopes of getting more. Only the company can decide if it ends up being a wasteful – or effective – choice.
4. "A major chunk of the population is already registered with DND"
DND stands for Do Not Disturb registry. We have the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) in the UK. If you don’t want to receive spam phone calls, you register your numbers with the service. After a few weeks you shouldn’t receive calls from reputable companies (disreputable ones don’t care about the list anyway).
I don’t know about the DND in India, but the TPS doesn’t prevent text messages (or voice calls from outside the country for that matter). And going back to point number 1, if you opt in to receive messages (or voice calls) the TPS doesn’t matter anyway. If you give permission for a company to contact you, then they can contact you even if you are on the do not call list.
Ultimately, the regulations regarding SMS marketing messages are under the purview of the ICO, not a do not call registry.
5. "Cost incurred isn't worth the responses"
This “reason” is probably the most frustratingly inaccurate of the bunch. There’s no real data behind this claim offered by Singh. He simply says most companies have an app, so they should use that. Or that they should use email because everyone is already on the internet if they are reading email.
Again, I’ll give him a pass because I don’t know the ins and outs of the mobile market in India. Smartphone penetration is only about 30%, so it’s possible most mobiles there can’t access a mobile website.
However, in the UK the statement is patently false. The cost of SMS messaging is extremely reasonable, especially considering ROI is often hundreds or thousands of percent. The average open rate is 99% and the click through rates average around 35%. That’s ten times, or more, better than the average email response rates.
Beyond those numbers, many brands are able to engage their customers, provide better customer service, and receive loyalty – which is priceless – because of their SMS programmes.
One thing he is right about is “nobody in their right frame of mind likes such spam soaked marketing anymore”. Actually, he’s not entirely right. I don’t think anyone ever liked spam, so that isn’t anything new.
You've run a successful SMS opt-in campaign for your retail store. Now that you have your list, do you have a plan to keep them from opting out? Wait, you mean there's more to this than just sending out coupon codes? There is if you want to keep your customers from opting out.
We’re all familiar with shortcodes without actually knowing what they are. Shortcodes are the 5 to 6 digit numbers that businesses use for sending and replying to their text messages. To keep costs low and to get into the mobile space as quickly as possible, your small business needs a shared shortcode, here's why.
If you find yourself needing to justify putting budget towards SMS marketing or convincing your manager that it's the right decision for you, here are some key research statistics to keep in mind for why you should pursue an SMS campaign...
The first thing to remember is that legally, you must give the customer the chance to both opt-in and opt-out of your SMS campaign - but the good news is people are happy to opt-in - 49% of them according to a 2014 survey. So all you need to do is stay compliant and follow some basic guidelines to grow your list.
Just for fun, I asked people in a marketing focused Facebook group to share the worst SMS marketing messages they’ve ever received. I was expecting a deluge of responses, but actually only a few trickled in. But those horrible SMS marketing messages are out there…the comments on my post proved it even if no one wanted to share (I guess they’re all shy).
When you think about your SMS marketing campaigns would you label them as fun? Is there any aspect of your SMS marketing or loyalty program that you think customers would call fun? If so, you're going to love what you read in this blog. If not, then you need to read this blog. It turns out that a little bit of fun and games can keep your customers more engaged – and more loyal.
Loyalty and rewards programs can help your business retain your best customers. But they only work if customers see your messages and can check their reward status. A new survey shows most people prefer companies use to SMS for loyalty programs. Find out why in this blog.


There are days when I observe the people around me, and how they appear for public consumption at work, in a professional environment mind you, and feel as though I am, in actuality, simply in the midst of a great huge daycare center.
The jettisoning of the tailored wardrobe is merely a part of the larger and ongoing 'democratization' of dress that started to standardize the wardrobe with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, and whereby we may all eventually be encased in the same synthetic coverall and molded plastic footwear. Still others will tell you the degeneration of the trad wardrobe is all part of the “me” generation’s retreat from social consciousness and public style, part and parcel of a general lack of empathy, manners, and responsibility. More ancient members of the community can often be overheard muttering that we will eventually descend into anarchy, barbarism, and loincloths. -- G. Bruce Boyer

As one reader has suggested here at Classic Style in the last year and a half or so, it seems like a substantial portion of society will not be happy until they can appear publicly in sagging diapers and/or onesies with food smeared on one cheek, sleep in their eyes, and terminal bedhead. I'll go a step further and submit that we're just about there. Rod Serling (of The Twilight Zone fame) would appreciate it.

Everyone is moving. All the college students went in June but everyone else is moving around as well. The maintenance people are in a different unit every day throwing all kinds of crud out onto the street. What people leave behind… Crazy. Anyway, garage sales are all up and down and it seems that all these rentals are just in a shuffle. Maybe it’s not worth it to get to know my neighbors. Not that they give me the chance anyway. No one comes to visit. No one talks to each other. It’s kinda depressing but I can see why we aren’t exactly a close knit neighborhood. No one stays here for long.
Which also means that crazy neighbors will be out of there soon if you just wait it out.
Ahhhh… the joys of renting.

Scientists at the University of Darmstadt in Germany have stopped light for one minute. For one whole minute, light, which is usually the fastest thing in the known universe and travels at 300 million meters per second, was stopped dead still inside a crystal. This effectively creates light memory, where the image being carried by the light is stored in crystals. Beyond being utterly cool, this breakthrough could lead to the creation of long-range quantum networks.
Ready for a mind-bending news story that will forever change your perception of life? Quantum physicists in Israel have successfully entangled two photons that don’t exist at the same time. They create one photon and measure its polarization, destroying it — they then create another photon, and though it never coexisted with the first, it always has the exact opposite polarization, proving they’re entangled.
A lab in China is reporting that it has constructed the first memory device that uses single photons to store quantum data. This is a significant breakthrough that takes us further down the path towards a quantum internet, and potentially quantum computing as well.
A group of European researchers has proposed the largest quantum network yet: Between Earth and the International Space Station. Such a network would see entangled photons transmitted over a distance of 250 miles — two or three times greater than previous quantum communication experiments. Not only will this be the first quantum experiment in space, but it will allow the scientists to see if entanglement really is instantaneous over long distances, and whether it’s affected by gravity.
A team of Chinese physicists have clocked the speed of spooky action at a distance — the seemingly instantaneous interaction between entangled quantum particles — at more than four orders of magnitude faster than light. They decline to give an exact speed, but four orders of magnitude puts the figure at around 3 trillion meters per second.
Toshiba Research and Cambridge University in England are reporting that they have succeeded in building the first conventional fiber-optic network that’s secured with quantum cryptography. This breakthrough means that the world’s fiber networks can now be secured with theoretically unbreakable encryption.

He repeated his lawyer's account that the priest sexually attacked him, spoke of initially being heralded as a "hero" by police and declared his heterosexuality in the face of online pictures that show him flexing his muscles while wearing little clothing.
Tampa Police Department spokeswoman Laura McElroy said police are still investigating and don't want to give a blow-by-blow response to Bruce's account. But "his credibility is in question as part of our investigation," she said.
Police say the bearded, robed priest got incorrect directions from his global positioning device, left Interstate 275 and found himself driving around the Channel District. He followed a row of cars into the Seaport Channelside condominiums and approached Bruce, who was bent over the trunk of his car. He tapped on his shoulder before uttering, in broken English, the words "help" and "please."
Police say that's when Bruce hit him with the tire iron, chased him for three blocks and pinned him to the ground, telling a 911 operator that he was chasing an Arab terrorist who tried to rob and sexually attack him.
According to Bruce
This is Bruce's account:
"I turned around and there was a man standing within 2 feet from me. Originally, I thought he was possibly a homeless guy about to ask for directions. But not more than a few seconds went by and the man reached out (and) grabbed my genitalia. ... I proceeded to put my hands on him to back him off....
"He put his hands on my neck ... I dropped to the ground ... got out of this guy's hold, and since my trunk was open I proceeded to grab a tire iron, and I gave him two warnings."
At this point, Bruce says, he called 911 and told the priest not to take a step closer. He took a step closer, Bruce said, "so I defended myself. "This guy did not even flinch. ... He put his hands up, took two more steps toward me, and that's when I proceeded to defend myself again. ...
"This time, the guy ran. I'm thinking I'm not going to let this guy go. He knows where I live. ... I have a family to defend."
Bruce said he circled the Grand Central condominium twice and ended up in front of the Powerhouse Gym on Kennedy Boulevard. He said he kept telling the priest, "Stay right there."
"That's when he turned around and lunged at me. And that was the last time I defended myself, which finally took the guy down. Simultaneously, the police pulled up."
Police dispute points
Bruce said police called him later, when they found the priest's car, and said they wanted Bruce to come down and give them details. He said the police let him search the priest's car, and that they found a suitcase. The police feared opening it, but Bruce put his ear up to it, he said. And he shook it.
They asked, "What did this guy say to you again?" And he responded, "Some type of akbar stuff." They asked if he knew what that meant, Allahu akbar, an Arabic phrase for "God is great" that witnesses said was recently uttered by the Fort Hood shooting suspect. Bruce responded, "That's what they say before they blow you up."
He said the police stepped back and allowed Bruce to open the suitcase. Without commenting on the specifics, McElroy said that police would never allow someone to touch evidence.
Other things Bruce said in the interview: He doesn't use steroids, though a Greek Orthodox church spokesman calls the attack "'roid rage." He modeled, but didn't pose for gay porn, though Web sites have posted photos of him in suggestive poses. He and his mother have received death threats.
McElroy, the police spokeswoman, said she heard the radio interview. "It's certainly his right to give his account," she said, "but we are focused on our investigation. ... We said all along that his accounts didn't add up."
One item she said she could talk about: Bruce told police he was scheduled for deployment to Iraq in January. "That," McElroy said, "turned out not to be true."
The priest has told those close to him that he forgives Bruce for attacking him, but that he was shocked by the sex allegation.
Police will collaborate with the State Attorney's Office to determine whether the attack should be classified as a hate crime, McElroy said. She said police have still not determined when they will release the 911 tape.
When asked whether the Times could interview Bruce, his lawyer Jeff Brown said, "No. Not after the coverage you guys gave."
When asked what reasoning went into the decision for Bruce to speak to Bubba the Love Sponge, Brown replied, "No comment."

Nutrigenomics often interchanged with nutritional genomics is a multidisciplinary science deals with the study of how food affects our genes and how an individual’s genetic difference play role in responding to the nutrients and other compounds in the food we take. It is use of genomics to examine the interaction of diet and genes involved in health or disease. Recently nutrigenomics has gained a lot of attention in treating or preventing chronic diseases. It helps with personalized medicine and health. Certain factors are taken into consideration such as action of dietary chemicals directly or indirectly on the human genome.

I made banging soup last week adapted from a Country Living recipe. Who knew I was capable of concocting soup? Not me! Anyway, some ingredients were foreign to me and I made a few other mistakes along the way. Here’s some advice to help you around the kitchen and make a better batch of soup than I did… if it’s possible.
[No picture, it doesn’t do it justice but I swear it was the best soup I ever tasted]
Botch and Learn:
Don’t use a food processor to chop veggies. Unfortunately, it turned my carrots into baby food. I used them anyway, but next time I’m reluctantly chopping them.
You don’t have to cry while cutting onions. The recipe calls for a lot of onions. I started to cut one and the Mississippi River poured from my eyes. So, I consulted You Tube for how to cut an onion without crying. The full bulb in an onion astonished and disgusted me. But, I can’t wait to cut more onions. There’s a satisfaction that accompanies a successful onion bulb elimination. You’ll see.
I didn’t have peppercorn or chicken stock so I used black pepper and 4 cubes of chicken bullion. No harm was done.
A sprig is a twig. I consulted Google Images to determine what a sprig of parsley looked like. Essentially one “twig” = a sprig.
I know I did a great job on the stock, because every time my roommate left the apartment and came back she said “oh my god, it smells so good.”
A leek looks like a giant scallion. Thank goodness for signs at the grocery store.
Clean out the guts and heart of the chicken. It still tasted fine, but they were repulsive to pull out. But, the tender meat fell right off the bone so it was easy to separate. [re-reading this, it sounds a little dirty]
Instead of butter, I used 1 TBSP oil. Again, no harm done.
Read the directions carefully. When making the soup, I added the parsley in the beginning. It should be added at the end!
Don’t cook orzo in the soup. I don’t like egg noodles so I used 1/2 a box of orzo and cooked it in the soup. This was a mistake because it absorbed all the broth. It still tasted phenomenal but reflected a soupy risotto. Next time, I’m cooking them separately and storing in a separate container.
1 (3 1/2-pound) Whole Chicken
3 quart(s) Low-Sodium Chicken Broth ( I used 4 chicken bullions)
6 Carrots, peeled (don’t put it in the food processor)
4 stalk(s) Celery, ends trimmed
3 medium Onions, peeled
5 Black Peppercorns
1 clove(s) Garlic, crushed
10 sprig(s) Parsley
2 sprig(s) Thyme
1 Bay Leaf
2 tablespoon(s) Unsalted Butter (I used oil)
4 Leeks, tops and root ends removed (what the hell is a leek?)
1 teaspoon(s) Salt
1 teaspoon(s) Fresh-Ground Pepper
3 cup(s) (5 ounces) Medium Egg Noodles (I used orzo)
- Make the stock: Place the chicken and chicken broth in a large stockpot and set it over medium heat. Roughly chop 2 carrots, 2 celery ribs, and 1 onion and add to the broth. Add the peppercorns, garlic, 2 sprigs of parsley, thyme, bay leaf, and enough water to just cover the chicken. Bring the broth to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the chicken is very tender — about 1 1/4 hours — skimming the surface periodically. Remove the chicken and place in a large bowl. Strain the broth through a very fine sieve into a large, clean bowl or stockpot. Discard the vegetables.
- Make the soup: Skim any fat off the top of the strained broth and discard. Slice the remaining carrots, celery, onions, and leeks into 1/4-inch-thick pieces and set aside. Remove and discard the skin and bones from the chicken, cut meat into 1/2-inch pieces, and set aside. Chop the remaining parsley leaves and set aside. Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the vegetables and cook until the onions are translucent — about 7 minutes. Add the chicken, the reserved broth, salt, and pepper. Simmer the soup until the vegetables are tender — about 1 hour. Stir in the egg noodles and parsley and cook until the noodles are tender — about 10 more minutes. Serve hot.

It’s a campaign pitch that will be trumpeted at next month’s NATO summit in Chicago, where international leaders are expected to sign off on an agreement with Afghanistan’s government that would establish a continued U.S. role in the country after security is handed over to local forces in 2014.
A senior administration official told reporters this week that the U.S. transition from Afghanistan is the most important message the White House will be telegraphing as it moves into the general election. The official acknowledged Americans are weary of the war and said voters want the administration to focus on issues back home, especially concerning the economy…
“I’m concerned that somehow this timeline is an artificial one and posed for political reasons more than for policy reasons,” Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.), a possible GOP vice presidential candidate, told The Hill. “But let’s see what’s in that agreement.”

Florida Cabinet Meeting Report: September 29
Sep 29, 2009
The Florida Cabinet met in Tallahassee on Tuesday, September 29, 2009, during which agenda items were considered from various State agencies. To view the complete meeting agenda, click here. Below is a summary of corresponding Cabinet actions:
Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
The Governor and Cabinet appointed Julie Jones to serve as the Executive Director of the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Ms. Jones, who formerly served as the Chief Law Enforcement Officer with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, is replacing Electra Bustle, who announced her resignation last month.
Florida Division of Bond Finance
A representative from the Division of Bond Finance presented the following items, both of which were approved by the Cabinet with minimal discussion:
- Adoption of a resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of $245 million worth of Florida Department of Transportation (“DOT”) Right-of-Way Acquisition and Bridge Construction Refunding Bonds. These bonds will be funded from fuel tax revenues.
- Adoption of a resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of $205 million worth of DOT Turnpike Revenue Refunding Bonds. These bonds will be funded from tolls and other Florida Turnpike System revenues.
A report was given on the award to J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. of the contract to sell $156 million in State Board of Education Public Education Capital Outlay Refunding Bonds.
Florida Department of Revenue
The Department of Revenue presented the following item, which was approved by the Cabinet with minimal discussion:
- Approval to file and certify amendments to regulations that are expected to promote better compliance with state tax rules and forms pertaining to food and beverage sales.
State Board of Administration
State Board of Administration (“SBA”) Executive Director Ash Williams reported that the Florida Retirement System Trust Fund has increased 16.3 percent to date. Florida Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink then asked the Cabinet to consider two issues for approval:
- The Cabinet needs to encourage the Florida Senate to do a better job of confirming the members of the SBA’s Investment Advisory Council.
- CFO Sink would like to see a strengthening of the State’s oversight of the Florida Pension Fund through the approval of three items:
- Expansion of the SBA Board of Trustees through legislative action. CFO Sink would like to see one or more members added who have proven investment experience. In addition, she would like to see one or more members added who participate in the Florida Retirement System.
- Fiduciary training of all SBA Board of Trustees members to improve their understanding of financial markets and their individual responsibilities.
- Conducting of regular external audits
No seconds to CFO Sink’s motion to implement these changes were made. Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum then commented on CFO Sink’s suggestions, saying that he thought it would be best for Mr. Williams to submit the ideas for discussion to both his SBA team and the Investment Advisory Council and report back to the Cabinet.
Attorney General McCollum suggested that changing the composition of the Board of Trustees would require a constitutional amendment. Governor Charlie Crist agreed with this, but CFO Sink disagreed. The next Investment Advisory Council meeting is scheduled in December 2009.
The next Cabinet meeting is scheduled for October 13, 2009.
A press release from the Florida Division of Financial Services about CFO Sink’s proposed SBA overisght reforms is reprinted below.
Should you have any questions or comments, please contact Colodny Fass.
TALLAHASSEE- Florida CFO Alex Sink today recommended reforms to strengthen and enhance the oversight of the state’s public pension fund, including a proposal to expand the Board of Trustees, but her motions were delayed until December by the other two members of the SBA Board, Governor Crist and Attorney General McCollum.
CFO Sink noted her decades of business experience and the recent governance study when laying out reasoned arguments for reforming the oversight structure of the $110 billion pension fund so many Floridians depend on for a secure retirement. She also pledged to work with Florida Legislators to move forward with Legislation to expand the Board of Trustees.
“The SBA governance structure is long overdue for a change and the recent governance study clearly showed that the SBA’s Board of Trustees should include more than just three elected officials,” said CFO Sink. “My recommendations continue the reforms I have taken the lead on since coming into office to improve the transparency, accountability and oversight of the SBA, and I was disappointed that they were not brought to a vote.”
CFO Sink offered three recommendations to strengthen the oversight and accountability of Florida’s $110 billion public pension fund at today’s Cabinet meeting:
- Expansion of the Board of Trustees – CFO Sink proposed recommending to the Florida Legislature that they expand the membership of the Board of Trustees, to include one or more members with extensive relative investment experience or knowledge and one or more members who is a beneficiary or participant in the Florida Retirement System.
- Fiduciary Training – CFO Sink proposed requiring each Trustee and each member of the Audit Committee, Investment Advisory Council and Participant Local Government Advisory Council to undergo annual training in fiduciary responsibilities and associated ethical requirements relevant to their roles.
- Regular, Independent Audits – CFO Sink proposed that the Audit Committee develop recommendations for regular external audits of the SBA which should focus on financials, compliance, internal controls, and operations.
These recommendations were validated by a Board-directed study of best practices of 15 other state pension funds and numerous private sector investment professionals presented to the SBA Board of Trustees earlier this month. The study was from an initiative by CFO Sink to bring a more modern, businesslike approach to the oversight and management of the SBA. The report can be read here.
“As one of the SBA’s three trustees, and the only current trustee with previous business experience, I have long argued that it takes more than three elected officials to oversee the $110 billion fund that our police officers, teachers and other state employees depend on for a secure retirement,” CFO Sink continued. “These three proposals were taken from the findings of an in-depth study of public pension funds around the country and private sector experts – and I will continue to push for these needed reforms.”
In March of 2008, CFO Sink presented her ten point plan designed to toughen the SBA’s financial safeguards, increase transparency in SBA communications and strengthen board oversight, which included recommendations such as Board of Trustee expansion.

Tom Hanks portrayed an Army Ranger who made the landing at Omaha Beach during the D-Day invasion in the acclaimed 1998 war film “Saving Private Ryan.”
Since then, Hanks has been an active supporter of veterans from the past and from more recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Army Sgt. Adam Hartswick, of Pine Grove Mills, met the actor Friday when Hanks visited the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. Hartswick, who was wounded in Afghanistan in 2013, is rehabilitating at the facility.
Hartswick took the opportunity to thank Hanks for the way he played that role on behalf of his grandfather, Max Hummel. Hummel was an Army veteran of World War II and one of more than 30,000 American troops who landed at Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944.
The opening sequence of the film depicts the initial landing by U.S. forces at Omaha Beach during the invasion of Normandy. Growing up, Hartswick watched the film with his grandfather shortly after it was released on video and can remember Hummel commenting on the realism of the film.
Hummel was also impressed with the way Hanks and the other actors played those who made the landing and served in World War II, Hartswick said, and wanted to thank Hanks for the way the portrayal honored him and his comrades.
Hartswick passed that thanks along to Hanks on Friday.
Hanks became emotional after receiving the thanks, Hartswick said, adding that it was apparent that Hanks was proud of the role and the film.
“He’s a very laid-back and down-to-earth kind of guy,” Hartswick said.

2.75 3 starsI decided to pick this book up after watching Zodiac which was completely enthralling, however this was not the case for this book.The book was definitely well researched as it contains information from various sources,witnesses and reports.The book goes into extreme detail which was interesting at times but most of the time, it was just too much.It feels as if Robert Graysmith just dumped all of his findings into the book without editing anything.Some of the details feel completely [...]
Let s say you re a serial killer Now let s say what gets you off than anything except your killings, is to taunt the cops with letters that mock their inability to catch you You, of course, do not want to be caught, but there is always the possibility Now let s say you just happen to work at a famous newspaper, one of the papers to which you like to send your letters How lucky for you, or how wonderfully designed, because as a member at the paper you are insinuated into the investigation, givin [...]
It s sad to say that I dnf d this with 40 pages left 40 pages left and I couldn t be bothered to finish I think the reason why is because there isn t an ending We all know the Zodiac was never caught so why am I intruiged to know how it ends I mean it had a promising start It was gripping, detailed, talked about victims and the letters But like halfway through it started to get dull No suspects had been announced Most letters were being credited as hoaxes There were no victims I had half the bo [...]
Would you believe that I was unfamiliar with the Zodiac killer until last week I mean I knew that there was a serial killer who went by the name, but I didn t know anything at all about the details of the murders or the killer himself I had never even seen the movie I think that this ignorance kind of benefited me I skimmed some of the other reviews for this book, and I see a lot of complaints about the fact that Graysmith included every single detail But I didn t even notice this My not knowing [...]
Things to keep in mind before you read this 1 Have you seen the movie Because going by reviews here, if you see the movie first, you won t like the book I suspect because people can t grasp the idea that the movie can get away with in the name of entertainment than something sitting on the True Crime shelves can This is true crime, not fiction based on a real event Also, the movie covers things in the author s real life, which the book isn t about to do They re just different Stop being that pe [...]
To read or not to read Zodiac, that is the question Regardless of what some say, no one knows who the Zodiac was No it s not Ted Cruz, sit down internet conspiracy theorists I feel like this is bait Ain t nobody got time for that.
The facts of the Zodiac case are like the worst urban legends sprung to life As any true crime fanatic knows, real life is where the real nightmares come from and boy, did Zodiac make many nightmares reality He was the hooded executioner who tied up and pretended to rob a young couple, then came back to stab them over and over in front of each other, throwing their money and car keys back at them before leaving He rigged single women s cars so that their batteries would run down or their tires w [...]
The writing style is a bit too dry for my taste, but the subject is so fascinating Enjoyed this book very much, loved how detailed and informative it was.
view spoiler Bettie s BooksThe rating, any status updates, and those bookshelves, indicate my feelings for this book hide spoiler
I picked this up because I enjoyed the movie version and thought I d investigate the truth behind the Hollywoodization that is SO a word.I found this book very interesting, despite its somewhat uneven tone It s quite dry in places but, hey, it s journalism not fiction, so I m not expecting it to be Dickens.Ultimately, though, due to the fact that the Zodiac killer was never caught, it kind of peters out at the end, leaving one feeling rather unsatisfied Still, I m glad I read it.
A very thorough recounting of the Zodiac killings and the long investigation, told by a newspaper cartoonist who became obsessed with the case and involved with the major players Graysmith lays out the known facts, reproduces the full text of the Zodiac letters for the first time, and conducts his own investigations of the major suspects.Man I d forgotten, but this is a hell of a story It reminds me not to be too hard on a lot of thrillers and cop shows, because in fact you cannot make this shit [...]
I will admit, I picked up this book after seeing David Fincher s Zodiac I found the case both horrifying and intriguing and I knew I wanted to know The Zodiac murders happened long before I was born, but Robert Graysmith did a great job at laying out all the facts from the case in an easy to read format However, it was quite obvious that Graysmith was not a writer he was a cartoonist by the unpolished way that he writes at times I gave Zodiac four stars instead of five because the material coul [...]
Be careful if you read this book It has a very high potential to get you addicted to the case and try to figure out who the Zode is.
I m sure this was riveting and very convincing in the court of public opinion back when it came out, which must ve suuuuuucked for the accused I ll admit I have the benefit of things like hindsight and DNA testing and whatnot, but Graysmith just seemed so stuck on his Arthur Leigh Allen theory that it was almost like he wasn t willing to entertain any suspects or scenarios outside of it, at least at the time Circumstantial evidence is so dangerous, and that is essentially all this is Maybe A.L.A [...]
I only want to say that despite the cynicism I ve gotten from friends, or the criticisms I read of this one, it is a great book that is uniquely interesting and thrilling and sparked great conversation around the board.
What i really like about this book was how it was told and how it was layed out.Mr Graysmith was a Newspaper cartoonist who later became involved in the Zodiac case Not by his volition but, by the Zodiacs.He lays out the facts Gives you the time line and how things were investigated How things happened Precise and to the point.He includes reprints of the letters that the Zodiac sent to the police and newspaper Some of which to this day are unsolved and undecoded.what is good about this book is t [...]
The Zodiac killings of the late 60s and 70s were some of the most notorious unsolved murders in the history of crime, comparable only to the Jack the Ripper murders Not only were the murders gruesome on their own, but behind these slaughters was a psychotic genius who managed to escape capture by the police up until this very day His taunting and braggadocious letters to the police and newspapers of California are legendary, having been dissected and studied by investigators for answers, to no a [...]
I don t think you can watch the film adaptation and remain unmoved by Graysmith s story and his obsessive quest to uncover the identity of the Zodiac killer There was no question that I had to read his book Graysmith was a cartoonist by occupation, not a journalist, and it shows He makes the number one blunder of any amateur writer of either fiction or non fiction he tries to include every last detail Graysmith s obsession with the Zodiac killer means every minutiae of the case is deemed critica [...]
4.5 stars Fantastic true crime story
A few months ago, there was a guy who used to jump over my walls and spy on me He even masturbated at my porch, sometimes, as he was seeing me study late at night, through my window shutters Sometimes, he knocked on my windows and whispered things that he would like to do with me I had curtains put on my windows and contracted a home surveillance service I have an old bitch at home, but she never alarmed me of his presence We tried to catch him a few times, but he always ran before we had the ch [...]
2.5 stars, rounded to 3 for hometown bias The merciless statistics might show that I started this book in 2011, but while yes, I am a slow reader, I m not that slow I wasn t on the page a day diet, rather I threw this book aside numerous times for months on end out of sheer frustration, but always determined to come back to it It Was A Slog The thing with true crime, sometimes you get lucky and Truman Capote writes one, but that s not the rule I have genuine admiration for what Robert Graysmith, [...]
The crimes themselves are fascinating I cannot say the same for this book Perhaps it s because I read it on the heels of an exquisitely written true crime story.
I don t normally do a review after finishing books but I thought this was a fantastic read I would highly recommend to anyone interested in the subject matter.
I wanted to love this book so badly I m fascinated by everything Zodiac, and the book is a major source if not THE source for almost everything It s the seed that grew into the massive Oak However, I just don t like how it s written I can appreciate the research, but the style is just not for me Thank you Mr Graysmith for doing the legwork.
I m really rather embarrassed to have read this, but the recent film all thirteen hours of it sufficiently intrigued me Graysmith, as several people cautioned me, is not a very good writer he has an odd tendency to sensationalize not especially sensational moments, and then describe parts that are naturally fantastic or terrifying in a strangely flat tone In a way it served as a compliment to David Fincher, who included some legitimately nail biting scenes in his 26 hour long adaptation It s int [...]
I have read this book years ago.Trying to add some books on Shelfari I discovered I had never registered this book on BC.From Library JournalFrom 1968 to the early 1970s, the self styled Zodiac killer made headlines in the San Francisco Bay Area In random attacks, he is known to have murdered six persons in a series of letters to newspapers, which sometimes included cryptograms, he boasted of many To this day, the infamous case remains unsolved and surprisingly little has been written about it [...]
I have a great fascination with the turbulent history and weirdness that was the California bay area during the 60 s and 70 s Beatniks, hippies, Sonny Barger and the Hells Angels, the Black Panthers, the S.L.A, riots and civil unrest, SF evolving from hippie mecca to homosexual mecca, multitudes of nutty political and religious groups, and way too much other lunacy for me to list Even today in spite of the yuppification of the area you can still feel the ghosts of the past in the air On top of a [...]
Zodiac by Robert GraysmithIt what reads like a collection of small collections of thoughts about various aspects of the Zodiac kills, Graysmith gives his opinions about the case He should be commended for being the first to bring most of the information together, but his narrative of the events is in no way a true narrative It jumps around too much.I found the topic to be interesting, but the book was poorly written Graysmith is truly passionate about the identity of the killer, and he should b [...]
Excelent research by Robert Graysmith At the beginning the book can make the reader tired due to the extreme levels of information and the lacking of tone However, as the story goes on, and especially after Zodiac starts to disappear, we can feel the frustration with the case Also, the peak of the book, in my opinion, is the description of each of the major suspects The book then gets a very somber light, and the frustration from the lack of only one clear suspect gets even stronger Highly recom [...]

Last May 27, I attended the #BloggersBash event of Skin 101 in Alabang Town Center. I came at the venue early so I decided to have lunch before heading to the event. As a frugal bella, I always bring my BDJ coupons with me every time I’m going out. The BDJ coupons offers different “sulit” deals ranging from food, beauty and shopping. What I love about using these coupons is it helps me maximize my hard-earned money.
While walking around ATC, I saw The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf with that I decided to use one of my CBTL coupon. CBTL is one of my favorite coffee shops. I love their homey atmosphere. I always feel relax when I am there. Their staffs are friendly and acomodating.
I ordered Chef’s Tuna sandwich with a free slice of Chicago cheesecake.
I was surprised how big the serving of the sandwich. It can be shared by two persons. I love that it has a lot of vegetables. The tuna meat is so juicy and flavourful. The vegetables are fresh and crunchy to bite.
The Chicago cheesecake that I got for free. I saved Php 125.
I love their cheesecake. It is creamy and the sweetness is just right.
I will definitely go back to CBTL to use my other coupons. I am eyeing to use the pasta coupon with free cookie. ♡
Thank you Belle de Jour Power Planner!

Diana's Social Diary
Young professionals take over Uptown's top patio for white hot summer soiree
To simply say this was the young professional party of the year would be doing the celebration an injustice. The White Party, the annual fundraising fête for Young Friends of Wilkinson Center, once again lured glamorous guests to Saint Ann Restaurant and Bar for a party that radiated fun, philanthropy and South Beach swagger.
Gro Designs transformed the venue with flowers, balloons and chic white seating, wowing guests — including Vodi Cook, Anna-Sophia Van Zweden, Lacy Lynch, Jenna Jenovich, Silver Hogue, Kaitlan Moczulski, Landon Burke, Imran Sheikh and even Wilkinson Center executive director Anne Reeder — upon entrance.
The dance floor was open from the get-go, and the soundtrack provided by DJ Stefani Burns ensured the fun got started on the right foot. Guests also beelined for the bar, where they ordered a DeLeon Tequila cocktail while debating one of the night's most pressing questions: taco, hot dog or flatbread?
Illumination Fireworks made sure this was an affair these YPs would never forget, by providing fireworks, confetti cannons and cryo machines. Eclipse Entertainment brought the samba dancers and bongo drummers, and at this point you could almost hear the waves of the Atlantic lapping on the shores of Miami's most happening hot spot.
But it wasn't all dancing and carrying on. Attendees also raised crucial funds for the Wilkinson Center by outbidding one another at the event's silent auction, which included trips to Cancun, gifts cards to various Dallas restaurants, beautiful jewelry and more.
Through events like this White Party, the Young Friends of Wilkinson Center has raised more than $115,000 since its inception in 2011 for the leading poverty rescue and prevention agency for the working poor in Dallas.


This is an addendum to my YouTube video showing the feather boards. I’m adding a few more details here that I forgot to mention in the video, in case you are interested in making a feather board. In my future videos, I’ll try to start showing some of the actual process of making the projects, which will be a bit weird for me, filming while cutting wood. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel if you’d like to see these projects.
The standard feather board is 3 – 1/2″ wide, cut on a 60 degree angle, each finger is 1/8″ wide, with the 1/8″ saw cut. This seemed to give the right amount of stiffness to each finger. Each finger is 3 and 1/4″ long. The entire board is 8 1/2″ long. The slots are 3 – 1/4″ long each. I used 3″ 1/4 – 20 bolts with a countersink head.

I got a used Grizzly jointer, the G1182. I thought this would be a nice upgrade to my newer, but smaller bench jointer that has an aluminum 30″ table. The Grizzly, while older, is cast iron with a 46″ table.
While checking it out after I got home, I noticed the blades were not set very well, up to 15 thousandths off. I got to work setting those, and quickly found out the difference between having some sort of quick set knife system, like I have on the bench jointer, and not having that. On the bench jointer, I was able to set the two blades to within one thousandth of an inch. It didn’t take long, pretty simple with the extra set of screws that would raise and lower the blade. The Grizzly jointer doesn’t have these extra screws, they only have the bolts that tighten the gib, and no way to really raise or lower the blades, other than when it is loose. I tried and tried, and it was very frustrating. The blades would normally be off between 10 and 15 thousandths. It didn’t matter what tool I used to set the blades, because as soon as I tightened the bolts, the blade would move way too much. I was using the Oneway Multi Gauge to measure the blade heights. The Oneway Multi Gauge is what allowed me to easily set the bench jointer blades to within one thousandth of an inch. You won’t need this if you get the Byrd Shelix head, as you don’t have to set the blades. Although you could use it to set the height of the outfeed table. I spend over an hour and a half trying to set one blade in level, and wasn’t able to come close. How I’d ever get the other two blades level and matching the height of that one I don’t know. People have been using the system without the easy set system, so I’m sure somehow it must be possible. Perhaps they never get them set that close though.

“ Versatile tool ideal to tackle a wide range of DIY and craft jobs around the home, with over 100 accessories and attachments „
The 3956 is a fantastic model and the Dremel brand is unarguably creator of the best multipurpose rotary tools on the market, making it a difficult product to criticise.
As advertised, with up to 35,000 rpm, this really can tackle any multitude of DIY tasks and hobbies you can throw at it. The range of attachments, both included in this set (+70) and available to buy, are absolutely astounding, making it the real Swiss army knife of the DIY world and great value for money.
Keeping that in mind, much like if you're only interested in owning a knife you shouldn't buy a Swiss army knife with 100 tools, the same goes for the Dremel and its attachments. If you find that you only have one or two specific attachments that you use regularly, for anything other than low impact work, you'll probably need to eventually invest in the real thing as well. It works great on smaller hobbies and crafts but when pushed to do some of the heavier duty work such as a lot of metal cutting and grinding then it can be a slow process and you would do better to invest in something made specifically for that job. Similarly, a great extra that you can buy is a router attachment along with several shapes of router bit. I've found this has worked great on my wood routing projects, but down the line I've had to get an actual router to get the best results.
This is also one of those products that could easily suffer from the bread making machine effect. For the first week you'll find yourself stalking round your home, looking for any job that could excuse a cut and sand here or a grind and polish there, only to find it all too easy to put it on a shelf never to be seen again.
My only other criticism would be that other than a poster, you don't really get any explanation as to specific uses or techniques you should apply when using your attachments. With a bit of common sense you can work out how everything goes together and what it can be used for, but I really think it's lacking a decent booklet to help you along the way. Personally I'd happily pay an extra few pound to have a real guide that gives you tips on how to get the most out of your Dremel.
That being said, I absolutely love my Dremel. There really is something about it that inspires you to take on a "domino effect" of projects just to get full use of its amazing features.Whether you have a real need for the massive range of functions the Dremel has to offer or you simply just want to marvel at the shear joy of the 1000's of expertly crafted parts, this kit will undoubtedly be one of the wisest purchases you could hope to make.
The Dremel 3956 MultiPro is the tool for the job you have not even begin to think about yet. In fact calling it just a tool is to do it an injustice. I have used this device from DIY tasks suchs as sanding down patches on walls and doors to modelling. It really doe shave an attachment for any situation.
In the grey plastic coloured strong sturdy case you get 77 different attachments which will enable your dremel to drill, cut, polish, buff, grind, sand or clean. It even has a tool for sharpening your lawn mower blade and two spring clamps.
The unit itself is powered by a powerful motor that delivers anywhere from 5,000rpm to 35,000rpm. This is done through use of an incremental power selector which gives a smooth and easy transition. It is operates on 1.15amps of power delivered through a 6 ft power cord and weighs a miniscule 18 ounces. A real bonus is the gaurantee which is a ridiculous 5 years. If nothing else taht is a clear demonstration of the quality of the device and it's construction. That and the confidence the manufacturer has in it.
Swapping tools is done with ease, by pressing the shaft lock to ensure the shaft will not move during changeover. You loosed the bolt which holds the piece into place, that comes out and you replace it with the piece of choice. Simple.
It is small enough so as to easily be held and controlled by one hand. However, I have found with regular usage that different jobs require it to be held in different ways. Sanding or polishing can be done with afrim grasp in the palm of your hand. When you need greater control and hand eye coordination for detailing perhaps, then holding as you would a pencil in between forefinger and thumb delivers the best results.
If i'm honest, this is not the sort of device you set out to buy. It is more one you purchase when there is an awkward task you cannot figure out how to do or it requires a ridiculous amount of painstaking effort. However, everyone will have at some stage benefitted from this set. It will be used time and again for different jobs, such is the scale of the kit. With the length of warranty and the way it is constructed, you will be able to rely upon it time and again to deliver the results you require.
I have never felt so much like a kid at Christmas when I was given my Dremel. I immediately wanted to start doing! This handy little tool is able to do almost anything. It is ideal for all those smaller DIY jobs you have left lying around your house just waiting to be done. It is also very useful for using it in making crafts. I have used it to cut Sheep wire fencing to size, sand all those little areas you can never get to, carve features into wood and drill holes. I, however, am just using what suits me.....it can do so much more. This tool is about the size of an electric screwdriver. It is comfortable and lightweight and therefore easy to use with just one hand. Dremel provide over 150 interchangable heads to be used with various types of materials. It polishes, cuts, sands and engraves By buying extra accessories you can turn it into a router or a tle cutter. What versitle tool. They say size isn't everything.....its what you do with it that counts!! A word of warning. I used my Dremel consistently for over a year and eventually blew the motor! Ofcourse it landed outside the guarentee period! BUT, without my Dremel I was lost, so I purchased another one. Well worth £70.
I bought the Dremel just over a year ago, and so far it has never let me down. Be it a hole that needs drilling, or a rough edge that needs to be smoothed, I know that I can whip out my trusty Dremel to deal with the situation. The Dremel unit itself is nothing more than an adjustable speed motor that fits either comfortable in the palm of your hand, or connected to the handy multipurpose and directional flex cord attachment that you can add to the top of it. However what makes this power tool really special is that the guys at Dremel have literally made it a one-stop shop. They have achieved this by making literally hundreds of interchangeable bits that you attach to the head of the Dremel (Steady now!!). For example, I have a bit of rusted, jagged metal hanging of the edge of my wheel arch on my car. Normally this would take ages for me to first chisel the metal down, and then have to vigorously sand it down to a smooth finish, but with the Dremel it is two simple bit changes. First the metal cutting disk to get rid of the unsightly piece of metal itself, and then with a quick screw and tighten I put on the metal sander, and hey presto one shaped and polished wheel arch! Other attachments include drill bits, ceramic polishers, wood saws, and just about anything you could ever need. This makes it the must have tool for all of those big, and little jobs in and out of the house. So if, like me, you have had enough of having to buy nine different tools to do one job, get the Dremel, and you can get all the attachments you need for just a couple of extra quid!
I got a Dremel for Christmas, as I've said I love DIY, and I do make toys for the garden. The Dremel is probably one of the best inventions, for craftwork, and light DIY jobs. The Dremel does practically everything it cuts, saws, sands, polishes and drills. It has a multitude of uses and you can buy extra attachments, like an extension cord, and a tile cutter. I wouldn't recommend the Dremel for doing serious DIY, but for craft work it's excellent. I use my Dremel for a very special hobby I do, but I'm not telling you what it is, as some people may not approve, it's not what you think, I use it to cut very special tools out. Enough said, about that. I would recommend the Dremel to any budding or experiences crafts person, I know I couldn't like without my Dremel.

Banned and Hazardous Pesticides in European Food: Report Highlights
PAN Europe carried out an investigation to find out whether pesticides banned in the EU [according to 1107/2009 and PIC legislation] are detected in food sold on the EU market, using the EU official food pesticide residue monitoring data.
(*) 74 pesticides - that have been banned for use in the EU because of health and environmental concerns - were found as residues in 5811 food samples (6.2% of all samples tested), the majority being plant-based products (75.2%).
(*) Exotic fruit sold in Europe such as guavas (85%), goji berries (55%), breadfruit (42%) and cherimoyas (40%) are on the top of the list, together with teas (37%), peppercorns (29%) and coriander leaves (25%).
(*) The highly toxic fungicide carbendazim, a mutagen substance also toxic to reproduction, is the one which was detected the most (1596 samples), this is more samples than some of the authorised fungicides! Other pesticides, highly toxic to bees or aquatic life such as chlorfenapyr, fenbutatin-oxide, and fenpropathrin were also detected. Our analysis shows that the presence of residues of such pesticides in certain food is in fact legal.
