Hello Swami, Slightly off topic, but I wanted to go back to our earlier discussion on using the microwave to make delicious basmati rice (are u paying attention Lola? :-). I've tried it a few times now and my results have been mixed at best. I have a feeling that the glass bowl I use is improper. It's shape is akin to the bottom half of an egg. I use saran wrap with holes poked in it. You mentioned that you use a corning flat microwave pan. I presume it has a lit on it with holes? Yes/no? Also even though I rinse the rice several times, the white glueish stuff (can't think of proper name at the moment!) is still overflowing quite a bit. Is this to be expected. How does the flat pan deal with it. Or do you rinse like a swami man? Thanks, Olga

Hi Swami; It seems to me that a couple weeks ago there was an article in which ct securities was rated the #1 user friendly site on the market. "Chacun son gout" as our neighbours say. Cheers, Gordon

I have quite a story on ETrade: very slow executions, commission errors (more than 30 in six months), buys that didn't show up in my account, margin calls based on their errors... I've switched to Schwab and couldn't be happier: instant execution, real people who pick up the phone when you call (and after only a few rings max, where I've waited many long minutes on ETrade's phones). This is, of course, only my sad personal experience over the six/seven months I dealt with them (only that long because it was really only the last 6-8 weeks that their service degraded so badly), but I am no fan.
