Brown in a world of his own?

clipper's remarks: All this from the man who robbed every pensioner of his pension, sold the nations gold at rock bottom prices, re-organised the regulatory bodies which completely failed the man on the street, said nothing when the troops were dispatched into an illegal war, acquiesced to the dodgy dossier and the 45 minutes before destruction, the WoMD - words of meaningless drivel...running out of blog space...

HAPPY Gordon Brown seems to believe this is the moment he was born for.

The Ditherer has disappeared. In his place, a new “Master of the Universe” showing the world how to get out of this awful mess.

As “novices” such as Tory leader David Cameron tremble on the sideline, Gordon is Getting On With The Job.

We must all wish him well. Our jobs, savings, pensions — and possibly even the food on our plates — depend on his success.

Ambaji pilgrims pledge before Goddess to fight female foeticide

Pilgrims at the famous Ambaji temple in Banaskantha district found a new way to check the dwindling female sex ratio in the state - ‘Sankalp Patras’. The Ambaji Temple Committee members made the devotees sign the ‘Sankalp Patras’ to curb sex discrimination and female foeticide, along with a pledge to save the girl child. A total of five lakh ‘Sankalp Patras’ were signed.

“While the idea has been implemented for the first time at any religious place, the chances of its success are quite high as people have willingly taken a pledge before the goddess and are most likely to abide by it.

Patel said: “We have plans to extend the experiment to other religious destinations in the area as well. This is for the first time that such an experiment has been undertaken at a religious place in the state. However, with the active participation of future devotees, the awareness campaign is bound to be effective.”

Thriving Choirs

OAKLAND -- The members of the McCoy Memorial Baptist Church choir in Los Angeles have been working very hard lately. The 40-member ensemble normally meets once a week at its East 46th Street home. But since reaching the L.A. regional semifinals of the "How Sweet the Sound" nationwide gospel choir competition, it has held extra rehearsals and a weekend "boot camp" to lick into shape its version of the gospel standard "Pass Me Not."

The competition's sponsor, Verizon Wireless, initially piloted "How Sweet the Sound" in 2007. But after the success of that one-off event in Memphis, Tenn., Verizon decided to take the contest nationwide this year. The competition was conceived to capitalize on the company's V Cast wireless music service. At each of the regional rounds, Verizon customers have been able to use their cellphones to vote for their favorite choirs and send text messages to friends via massive screens flanking the sides of the stage.

Toyota Prius Reviews

In 1997, Toyota introduced the very first mass-produced hybrid vehicle to the general public in Japan and released it worldwide in 2001. Today, the Prius is sold in more than 40 countries and is touted as the most fuel efficient vehicle sold by the United States EPA.

Toyota wanted a progressive name for its new hybrid car so they chose Prius, which in Latin means [to go] before. Their thought was that the Prius was the leader for the cars to come. The car experienced average success in Japan and in 1999, Toyota decided enough research had been done on the Japanese version to release the Prius in the US.

Beware of the Mutual Fund Myth:

for-profit mutual funds have an inherent conflict of interest. They make money by charging fees that suck profits away from investors in the funds. In fact, over time -- when you factor in the fees, taxes and other costs -- he says your odds of beating the market in an actively managed fund are less than one in 100.

Invest in Nonprofit Index Funds:

mutual funds that are organized on a not-for-profit basis don't have the same conflict of interest as for-profit funds, and they charge lower fees.

Pick the Right Investment Mix and Keep Your Money There. Don't Move It Around!

Don't, for example, try to decide when to buy U.S. stocks and sell a lot of bonds, in an effort to predict which way those markets are heading. If you do that, he says, you're going to lose over time, because you'll be competing directly with professionals like him.

Shame On Wal-Mart

UPDATE 1-Mexico court rules against Walmex worker vouchers

MEXICO CITY, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Mexico's Supreme Court ruled that the country's top retailer, Wal-Mart de Mexico, violated the constitution by paying a worker in part with store cards only usable in the chain's outlets, the court said on Friday.

Wal-Mart de Mexico (WALMEXV.MX: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), also known as Walmex and a unit of U.S. retail giant Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), gives electronic store cards as part of salaries, which the court said harked back to exploitative wage practices of over a century ago.

For now, the ruling only applies to the one worker and will not oblige Walmex to scrap the card scheme.

But if enough other employees group together to bring a similar case to court it could ensure all future rulings on the card scheme would go the same way, a court spokesman said.

Republicans' problem: They don't care about governing

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 12:03:50 GMT

clipped by: georgecf

The GOP’s political problems have many causes, but distilled to its essence, it can be stated in one sentence: The Republican Party hasn’t taken seriously the responsibilities of governing.

In fact, if the Republicans could govern as expertly and as diligently as they campaign — if they simply cared as much about governing as campaigning — the country might today be reaping the benefits of great prosperity and global respect, and the Democrats would have gone the way of the Whigs.

But look around: That’s not exactly how things are.

The foundations of Republican success on the campaign trail have been appeals to tribal politics — “they” aren’t like “us” — and the easy answers of ideology. But once in power, tribal politics, fixed ideology and a disdain for the hard work of governance have proved disastrous.

Unfortunately, Palin epitomizes that mindset. Tribal politics, easy ideology and disdain for governance define her as a candidate.

Success Isn’t a Competition: Boosting Others Helps You in the Long Run

What I learned that has helped me tremendously, and these ideas can be applied to many fields of work and many areas of life:

Striving for success does not requre competition.
Boosting others actually helps you, in the long run.
Envy of others’ success and trying to tear others down helps NO ONE.

Success Isn’t a Competition

Helping other bloggers, in that sense, does nothing to hurt you as a blogger. You aren’t competing for readers, even if you’re both trying to get the same readers, because readers can read multiple blogs.

We aren’t competing for readers — we’re all trying to gain readership, but we can do that together, cooperatively if we like. Or we can compete and tear and claw at each other.

The world has moved on, and the techniques that worked in years gone by do not hold up in today. Network marketing continues to be a great opportunity for those who can market it successfully on line. In order to do so you do not have to lower yourself to telling lies to prospects. If you are with a solid company the high quality products combined with the provided training and the compensation plan should be enough to convince interested prospects.
