When Mrs Thatcher came to power, one of the things she promised is that her government would take the attitude of a careful housewife, only spending what they receive. If it is reckless for a housewife, to spend more than she receives in income, then why should the government spend more than their tax revenue? Many argue that political pressures encourage governments to borrow and therefore, we s

As a parent, one issue that is constantly on my mind is that of ensuring my children are properly nourished. Fortunately, my children have the eating habits of J.R.R.

What is a "balanced diet"? What can you do to obtain maximum benefits from the food you eat? DietDoc answers a few crucial questions.Food GroupsModern man and especially modern, western man, is faced with a bewildering number of foods to choose from. Compared to our ancestors and rural people in Africa, people living in South African cities have so many different foods to choose from, that it is quite understandable that they get confused. However, the basic food groups have remained the same, only the variety in each group has expanded dramatically.If you stop and think for a moment about the foods you eat, you will see that they can be classified into a number of broad categories, namely:- Fruit and vegetable group- Grains and cereal group- Milk and dairy group- Meat, fish and egg group-

Ask the average person to describe the New York Times with one word, and most people will say, “Liberal.” Maybe that’s not such a bad thing. That’s not the word I would use, however.

He wanted a direct mail list of Conservative Republicans in the state, a

Last year when prices in Edmonton rose close to 50% first time buyers were afraid they would never be homeowners. The frenzy that resulted in "conditionless" contracts, bidding wars and listings on the market for mere days left a lot of people feeling out of control in their buying. The attitude was buy it now or never see that chance again. However since the market has cooled a little buyers can take there time picking a choosing deals. They can have terms that protect them or help them buy more easily. "With the best selection of homes listed for sale in years, entry-level buyers have the luxury of time on their side,...""No longer forced to act in haste, first-time purchasers can make offers conditional on financing and home inspections."

You may have thought over the past 7 years that the Fox News channel was an extension of the Bush administration. According to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Fox News has now been around for 12 wonderful years. On Thursday night John Oliver of The Daily Show began a two part documentary on the Fox News channel showing just how “fair and balanced” they actually have been. The parts of the piece only total about 10 minutes but it is all that is needed to show the different types of coverage that is given to two different administrations. When it came to executive privilege, journalists for Fox News wanted it limited during the Clinton administration and expanded during the Bush administration. Clinton’s matter was a personal and sexual matter, yet the journali

Yesterday I was asked to provide a guest post on the LA Times blog "LA Land" to offer an opposing view to a recent article by Daniel Gross in Slate magazine lambasting the proposed tax break for homebuilders. My point was that it didn't seem fair to punish an entire industry of nearly 5 million workers for the actions of a much more limited number of executives, sales people and lenders who contributed to the housing bubble and, ultimately, the bust.That post was followed by over 30 comments, most of which blasted me for being naive, stupid, wrong, and all other sorts of things one would expect from a controversial subject (and many of which I've shared today in previous posts on this blog). With that said, however, my own personal view is a bit more balanced, and I submitted that opinion

There seems to be one thing that most Americans can agree on: China is a bad place. Their disregard for human rights and the environment run contrary to most liberal sentiment. Couple that with their vast expanses of cheap manufacturing power, lack of safety standards for products and military might to rile up the conservatives and you've got a sea of heads nodding in unison. The flashpoint for this issue has been the occupation of Tibet by the Chinese. The Dalai Lama has sky rocketed to international super star status as Tibet's answer to Martin Luther King, Jr. Tibet was reported to be a magical perfect place prior to the Chinese invasion. Peace and prosperity were the rule rather than the exception. Western literature and cinema helped perpetuate this idea. There is

Breakfasts are the most important meal of the day, and we often tend to neglect them completely, or just gulp something down with a cup of caffeine or juice! But I guess we all know that we need to pay more attention to our breakfasts as this is the meal that lays the foundation of your day, giving you energy and invigorating your brain cells so you can meet the challenging tasks ahead! At least during the weekends, we should have enough time to make something delicious yet wholesome for our families, right??!! So to give justice to this first meal of the day, I chose "Balanced Breakfast Meals" as this month's theme for WBB#20. I was a bit skeptical about this as the theme sounded challenging, and required some planning. So I thought I wouldn't be getting so many entries. But all you fabul

I agree with SUCCESS magazine’s perspective that one-dimensional success really isn’t success at all. Often we focus on career advancement or business deals as SUCCESS. But a well-rounded life focuses on body, mind, spirit, AND your career. It creates a bouquet of successes that blossom as you acknowledge them. A lot of my writing relates to self-empowerment and learning to love yourself. I believe that you need use the same amount of energy that's put into making money to nurture your health, your relationships with people close to you, maintain a comfortable living space, and build your spiritual well-being. A good relationship, both in business and your personal life, is SUCCESS. For me, striving for it all is the greatest self-love, which leads to most satisfying happiness. On Mond

Balanced jigging Rapala is one of my top 10 walleye fishing lures. First time I've tried this lure I was fishing on Lake St-Louis by Montreal, Quebec with one of the best professional angler in Quebec: Patrick Campeau. It was late in October and we were just drifting in about 10 to 15 feet of water. Our lines were not even ready that Pat's line was in the water and he was successful at catching several walleyes even before we start fishing.

I guess the life of a food blogger revolves around the different events that get hosted. Had my folks really understood this concept, either they might sulk or try to get the different hosts to host things more on their liking. I guess it might be the second thought mostly. We have always been on pursuit to find the ideal breakfast to help us going for the whole day. Though the lunch is typically rice and dal types, since its always hurried, we don't really pay much attention to it. And dinners are always very light.

Nutrients are chemicals in foods that are used by our body to enable it to live and grow. Some of the nutrients in foods are not usually needed because our body can accommodate the nutrients supply from other chemicals in the foods. However, to get optimal body functions, the daily food intake should contain 46 types of essential nutrients; carbohydrates, fat, fiber and clean water.Besides from that, Dr Ragner Berg of the USA recommends that the daily food serving should be 80% alkaline based and 20% acidic based to obtain good health.If our cell gets insufficient nutrients, cell metabolism process will be disrupted thus attracting chronic diseases. Different types of nutrients are inter-related with each other. It means that they need each other to work. For example if Vitamin D is not en

I could only assume that the same person would ask a hedge fund manager ‘what type of investment strategies do you recommend’. Ironically, both answers are pretty similar – a balance portfolio.

Balanced, healthy eating is based on the "Food Pyramid" which contains six main food groups. Eating a balanced diet means eating foods from each of the six main food groups, each day and excluding fats, oils & sweets.The Food Pyramid (6 Food Groups) 1. Fats, Oils, Sweets: Use Sparingly 2. Milk, Yogurt & Cheese: 2-3 Servings 3. Meat, Poultry, Fish, Dry Beans, Eggs, Nuts: 2-3 Servings 4. Vegetables: 3-5 Servings 5. Fruits: 2-4 Servings 6. Bread, Cereal, Rice, Pasta: 6-11 ServingsIf you follow the recommended servings for each of the six food groups (Fats, Milk, Vegetables, Meat/eggs, Fruit, Bread/pasta etc.) each day, and choose lower-fat, lower sugar brands, you are sure to get sufficient nutrients like: protein, vitamins, minerals and fiber.By choosing the lower number of servings from each group your calorie intake should add up to about 1600 calories, per day. If you choose the highest number from each group, your calorie intake should be about 2800-2900 calories, per day

From the Nothing You Didn't Know Already department: UEFA's seeding scheme for the Euro 2008 finals was a complete joke that ended up creating the exact imbalances it was created to resolve. It would have been fairer--not to mention far more efficient--to just pull the groups out of a hat at random.In case you missed it, here are the groups:Group A: Switzerland, Czech Republic, Portugal, Turkey.Group B: Austria, Croatia, Germany, Poland.Group C: Netherlands, Italy, Romania, France.Group D: Greece, Sweden, Spain, Russia.What you've got here is one supergroup (Group C) and three highly mediocre ones. Within the supergroup (or if you prefer, the Group of Death), you've also got two teams (Romania and Holland) that faced each other in qualifying. I feel badly for Romania, by the way: their first major tournament in a decade and they're faced with the world champions, the world cup runner-up and the aforementioned team they already bested in qualifying. Germany have probably the easies

In times of volatile market movements, it is a challenge for some investors to keep their emotions in check. When markets are in a strong rally, our herd instinct compels us to join the crowd and ride with the upside. But when markets correct, we are prone to sell out in panic. Yet, the wisest thing for investors to do at such times may be to remain calm and maintain a focused approach for their investments. Keeping an investment portfolio that is invested across different asset classes is a sound and effective strategy to ride through periods of adverse market movements.Stock markets are volatile by nature and as illustrated in recent weeks, extended periods of rising share prices can often be interrupted by sudden bouts of consolidation. In such times, investors with moderate risk profiles should consider holding a balanced fund which is invested in both equities and bonds in near equal proportions. Balanced funds aim to provide income and capital growth over the medium to long term

"A career is wonderful, but you can't curl up with it on a cold night." -Marilyn Monroe, American Actress and Pop Icon, Marilyn Monroe books// A successful career is definitely something to be thankful for in life; however, is it always worth the cost or sacrifices made? Unless you are independently wealthy, someone in your family has to work, and it's usually not doing something he or she is passionate about every day. Even people with the so-called "glamorous life," like Monroe, struggle to find happiness and fulfillment from a career alone. Relationships, though, tend to balance out a person's life, and it's much more rewarding to be successful at work if you can come home and share...

I suppose that is a bold statement but once you understand the logic behind it you'll probably agree. A Balanced fund is nothing more than a fund that invests in equities and fixed income all in one mandate - in order to reduce volatility. But the problem is the fees of balanced funds are usually anything  BUT balanced.  In addition perhaps a fund company might have great equity managers but less than stellar fixed income managers (or vice versa).Let me start by dissecting the fee dilemma. Generally speaking, the management fees of a mutual fund are directly correlated with the degree of time, research and ongoing monitoring that a fund requires. So for example, a bond fund is comparatively easier to manage and monitor than an equity fund - hence the management fees are on the lower end of the spectrum. Equity funds on the other hand tend to require much more of a fund company's resources and accordingly have higher Management Expense Ratios (MER's). To take it even

There is no indefinite job security. Market conditions fluctuate so fast that workers would rather play it safe by working into the good books of the employer.

The latest blog-themed piece in the Maine press--this one courtesy of Justin Ellis at the Portland Press Herald--is no worse than the other articles on the subject.But Ellis and his editors are guilty of the same sin committed in previous reports: He creates a false balance that masks the truth. Here's his opening line:A comment on Daily Kos says Maine's Republican Sen. Susan Collins wants another terrorist attack on American soil, while the Maine Web Report says Democratic Rep. Tom Allen is in bed with hateful left-wing extremists.Seems like everyone's even, right?In reality, of course, it's silly to juxtapose an anonymous comment on a giant community site with the considered commentary of the Collins campaign's official internet strategist.But that's what Ellis does in his first paragraph.Upon close scrutiny of the article, it becomes apparent that Ellis and his editors know that it's a false balance--and even that they want their readers to know this.But they've decided to c

This morning on WBEN, Bauerle was spouting off about Jim Ostrowski representing George Holt in an election law case.  Granted the 1st Amendment gives Bauerle the right to his opinion and the right to express it, however it would be nice if he responsibly used that right.  Apparently he believes it is OK for Constitutional protections that benefit him, but not for people he doesn’t agree with.  I guess it doesn’t matter to Bauerle that a bad law keeps many people off the ballot as long as George Holt is one of them. I tried to call in and offer a rebuttal viewpoint to his opinion, but I was told by his screener that it wasn’t the topic of the day.  I’ve listened to Bauerle enough to know that the subjects he talks about are fair game for calls.  At least is used to be that way.  When I pointed out to the screener that Tom was talking about the subject, even as we spoke, and that I didn’t think it was very respectable to pr

Maxis Broadband rocks!!! I have been testing the Maxis Broadband and the Unlimited Data for some time now. Wow!!! Its really fast...First, I strongly recommend to not fully believe what you have read on most of the forum regarding Maxis broadband.Of course there are some facts which are true, but again, Maxis HSDPA is truly fast!!!Of course, it does has its downside which I cannot browse the internet at all when it moves to Maxis GPRS or EDGE network.

Few weeks ago, I met up with a friend for dinner and when I asked him about the breakouts on his face, he told me it was caused by the lack of sleep and stress.

By now you have to know that you can not get those sexy abs you are looking for this summer by doing hundreds of crunches and that you have to work hard in the kitchen as well. A bodybuilding diet is a must have if training and wanting to loose weight together with getting sexy, hot abs. If you do not burn that extra fat you have there over your muscles there is no way you can achieve your goal.Here is another news flash if you need it! Everybody out there has great abs. Human anatomy can prove this. You have great abs there but they are covered with a layer of fat and water.
