I use Kerrygold butter which comes in a big block, basically a double stick, and in the past I used to cut it in two and put one stick in a conventional butter dish and one stick in the fridge, which was a pain in the ass, but then I found Guzzini's butter dish -- it's designed to hold something two sticks wide. Although it's not made out of glass but some specialty plastic, it still looks good and is two-stick functional. A bargain at $20. Chairman recommended!
Chairman Recommended: Hand Cream
It's all about the shea butter content, baby (20%!). This is the stuff I use from L'Occitane. $28 a pop but worth every penny. Baby isn't thrilled with the fragrance, but I don't mind it, and I'm a manly man. This product is Chairman recommended!
Chairman Recommended: Bar Soap
My Twitter buddy @imagethief turned me on to Kirk's ... I had been using Mrs. Meyers before but Kirk's is better, a lot better. It lathers nicely, rinses cleanly, doesn't dry out your skin and isn't perfumed in any way. It's great soap. I pay $3.29 for a three pack. Chairman recommended!

One change this week: reversing the emerging markets (closing the long and getting short).
Praise in Public, Rebuke in Private
From George Wilson's appearance on Booknotes in 1989:
"I think that American soldiers are American soldiers whether they be marines or infantrymen. And I have no worries about them running and letting us down. I have some worries about whether they are well enough lead. It seems to me we've gotten into this management syndrome where you give a guy a Rifle Company for a year or year and a half and then you put him in a Staff job then you send him to charm school you can't get get good leading troops and winning battles with all this turbulence at the top."
