How to Stimulate the Economy Without Increasing the Debt

Why would anyone accept stamped money in exchange for goods or services?ReplyDelete
Because it's legal tender. Suppose someone owes you $100, and they give you an ordinary $100 bill (not stamped money). Can you refuse to accept it and demand gold instead? Stamped money has actually been used in some places in Europe.ReplyDelete
Greg, Thanks for sending me a link to this. I think that the basic idea is sound. However, I just wanted to call your attention to the fact that it was not Gustav Cassel who came up with idea for stamped money, but Silvio Gessel. Check the General Theory and you will find Keynes's acknowledgment of Gesell as a forerunner of his.ReplyDelete

Jan said: Interesting observations Greg!And yes David Glasner is right that not only Gustav Casell but also Silvio Gessel (and i would add also Irving Fischer as well as Norwegian Ragnar Frisch and French Maurice Allais)- was in favor of idea of stamped money.In later years Professor Lars Pålsson Syll at Malmö University-Sweden been a lively advocate of the idea and taken it up again,as a way to stimulate the economy.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the additional references. I had no idea about Frisch and Allais. Irving Fisher's book about stamped money can be found at http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/roehrigw/fisher/
Mr Hill,ReplyDelete
Irrelevant to your blog post but do you know of good papers online on the loanable funds theory and how it is easily dismissed when looking at expectations?
Surely this would make for some strange behaviour on Tuesday and Wednesday?ReplyDelete

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (James 1:27 - NIV)
We have been called to care for widows and orphans. Living Word is continually working at expanding our ministry in these areas. First, we must expand our idea of what a widow or orphan is in today's world -- especially orphans.
An orphan does not necessarily have to be without parents. It is increasingly common for children to have at least one parent, but the parents are abusive, neglecting or simply not present. There are thousands of children in our state's foster care system and many are not placed in a foster home or adopted.
We are working with the state to help meet the needs of these children. Regardless of how a child ends up in the system or if they truly belong in that system, they ARE in it and we want to help.
Some of what we have done and are beginning to do...
Angel Tree Last Christmas we coordinated with local businesses, organizations and members of the Ahwatukee Chamber of Commerce to collect toys and personal care items for the children in group homes who had no family for Christmas. We worked through Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation and various state programs to distribute the items. The drive was VERY successful, distributing gifts to over 600 children, and we plan to expand the reach next year.
Valentine's Day Special Offering In February we received a special offering in all three of our church locations to launch our programs for this year. We have plans to specifically address the needs of children who are "aging out" of the system. Statistics show that as many as 90% of those children end up in prison. We are working to sow into their lives the resources they need as well as to show the love of God to change that outcome.
Adopting Our Local CPS Office We have built a team of volunteers who, on behalf of our church, are adopting the Tempe CPS office to assist with their needs. State budget cuts have hurt their ability to meet the needs of the children who come through their doors. We will be donating needed items and gift cards for food and clothing for children as well as cleaning and repairing some of their facilities. This is a developing program in association with Arizona Serves, which is Governor Jan Brewer's task force assigned to engaging the faith community to meet the needs that the state cannot.
Orphanages Around the World We support 2 in India with 16,000 children, 1 in Brazil and 1 in Uganda.
Widows... We are currently developing some specific programs to minister to widows and widowers -- especially those in local care facilities.

Vegan Nokdu-jon Korean Mung Bean Pancakes Recipe!
Bill and I watched the Kimchi Chronicles on Hulu, a documentary series about Korean cuisine, and Marja and Jean-George were just delightful to watch. Their love for food and fun really makes you want to cook! Bill and I really enjoyed the Bean Chronicle episode, mainly because, they featured a lot of vegan friendly recipes. In that episode, Jean-George teases Marja about making Korean Mung Bean Pancakes every week ever since she learned to cook them, and Marja admits how much she loves them. So we were inspired to make some for ourselves. We used to make them from mix that we get from the Korean grocery store, but really, it is so much better if you make it from scratch, and it is so easy! Here you go!
Vegan Korean Mung Bean Pancakes Recipe
1 cup split mung beans
1/6 cup rice
1 cup sliced kimchi and sliced veggies (traditionally fern bracken or mung bean sprouts, but any veggies will do)
1/2 cup kimchi juice
pinch of salt
pinch of black pepper
1 tsp of gochugaru red pepper powder
1/4 cup of sesame oil
veggie oil
1. Soak the mung beans and rice overnight or for 4-5 hours. Drain and rinse.
2. Add the soaked mung beans and rice along with the kimchi juice, salt, black pepper, gochugaru and sesame oil in a food processor and process it so it becomes a creamy texture.
3. Put the batter into a bowl and add the sliced kimchi and veggies. Mix well.
4. Heat the pan to medium high heat and add oil.
5. Once the oil is hot, make small rounds of pancakes and cook until brown, flipping once to brown both sides. They are better when it's slightly crispy!
6. Enjoy!! 🙂
Sauce ingredients (optional):
1 Tbs soy sauce
Pinch of Korean pepper powder
Pinch of sesame seeds
Drizzle of apple cider vinegar
Sliced green onions
Soak the mung beans and rice overnight or for 4-5 hours minimum. Drain and rinse.
Add 1 tsp of gochugaru (or more or less if you prefer) to the mung beans.
Process the mung beans until creamy or more or less depending on if you would like a smoother or more textured pancake.
Add kimchi and/or vegetables. You can use mung bean sprouts, cabbage, carrots, be creative!
Add dollops of batter to heated pan and oil (you can also make one large pancake if you prefer).
Flip the pancake when one side is browned and brown the other side. They are better when slightly crispy!
You can serve them with a dipping sauce if you would like. Add a little soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and gochugaru and mix well (you can also add diced scallions of you'd like).
Enjoy! These are addictive! 🙂

Boy, these look good!

Is baking would do good with this recipe instead of frying?
October 29, 2012 4:43 pm
Thank you for this recipe! Coincidentally, this was the episode of "Kimchi Chronicles" I watched most recently. 🙂 I like Jean-Georges a lot. I don't know what he's really like, but on camera he seems loving and humble, and appreciative of his wife's cooking. Marja bugs me a little bit in the way she frequently gets things just a little bit wrong but says them authoritatively, like when she gives definitions of Korean words that are a little off. :-\ Or when she says she's making a vegetarian jeon and then puts her homemade kimchi (made with fish sauce) and seafood in it. Aaaagh! LOL. Phew, anyway, this looks delicious.
October 29, 2012 9:01 pm
Reminds me of a type of dosa, from south indian cuisine. I will definitely serve this at Sunday brunch at The Macrobiotic Centre of Toronto.
BK permalinkNovember 15, 2012 3:32 am
Is the rice raw (ie we don't have to cook it first) before putting in the processor?
The cooking is done during the frying?
BK permalinkNovember 15, 2012 3:33 am
Further to above, can we use brown rice?
December 13, 2012 1:24 pm
Hi, again! I'm probably going to make these this weekend, but I have a question: how many people does this recipe serve? Thanks!
December 17, 2012 2:29 pm
Hi, Sunnie,
Yeah, I meant to go to the Asian grocery store the day before but I forgot. 🙂 So all the supermarket had was the whole ones. But it turned out OK! I just spent like 20-30 extra minutes rubbing handfuls of beans and rinsing the skins away. I didn't completely skin them all, but I got at least about 3/4 of them off. The recipe turned out delicious! Everyone really liked them, except one guy who was afraid of kimchi. We told him it wasn't that spicy or garlicky, but he wasn't adventurous enough to try. 🙂 The pancakes are best when freshly made, as I think you said, but they were still pretty good after I spent 1.5 hours on the bus to get to my friend's house. We heated them up in the oven. I think they would have rebounded better if I had used more oil for frying to begin with and maybe not blotted them so much. Then they would have oven-fried at my friend's house.
Thanks for the support! 😀

Today, Prime Farma released the news that Lionel Messi is going to be postponing his visit to Egypt after suffering a big and unexpected loss in Barcelona's most recent Champions League game last night.
Messi was supposed to visit Egypt this Wednesday as part of a tourism campaign promoting for the "Tour n' Cure" campaign to combat Virus C.
This morning, the company issued an official statement declaring that Messi had to postpone his visit as a common courtesy to his as well as Barca's fans after the team lost an agonizing 4-0 to Paris Saint-Germain F.C at the Parc des Princes this Tuesday.
However, Prime Farma assured in its statement that it will determine a later date for Messi's visit in the near future.

ONTARIO – After suffering a setback last week against Montebello High School, Wilson traveled to Chaffey on Thursday night and came up on the losing end of a nonleague game, 42-7.
The Wildcats (1-4) had five turnovers (one interception and four fumbles) and the Tigers capitalized on four of them to quickly build a 35-0 lead by the second quarter.
Chaffey (3-2) needed only 11 first-half plays, all rushes, to gain 204 yards to coast to victory.
The first Wilson fumble was picked up by Chaffey linebacker Jacob Ahmad on the Wildcats' 47-yard line and he returned it for a touchdown and a 14-0 first-quarter lead.
Wilson's next possession ended on its second fumble at its own 45. Two plays later, Deveion Bauman ran 34 yards for the score and Chaffey led 22-0.
The Wildcats gave the ball away again on their next possession on an interception. Bauman again cashed in for the score. This time it was on a 41-yard run to extend the lead 28-0.
The fourth turnover was at the Wilson 30 on the next series. Ronald Douglas made it 35-0 by halftime with a 16-yard touchdown run. He finished with 105 rushing yards and two TDs on four carries, all in the first half.
Wilson's only highlight was a 41-yard touchdown run, on a broken play, by Mose Vega.
The Wildcats' Tim Gilmore was held in check throughout the night as he finished with a team-high 85 rushing yards on 18 carries. Vega had 63 yards on 11 carries.

A day in the life: JLL's Chicago Markets summer interns tour AMC Theatres
Author: Jeanette Bucio-Merlos, Summer Intern with Midwest Marketing
Earlier this week JLL's Chicago Markets summer interns got a behind the screens look at one of JLL's Multi-site programs, the AMC movie theater at 600 N. Michigan, led by our Project and Development Services (PDS) team.
Emily Brown, PDS Project Manager at JLL, started off the tour by briefly explaining the three parts of PDS: multi-site (like the AMC movie theater project), tenant improvement (hotels, for example) and development. A typical workweek for her includes traveling to visit sites, fielding conference calls and navigating pay-apps and change orders.
"There are roughly 300 AMC movie theaters across the United States and more than 40 of those will be renovated this year," Emily says. Typically, a PDS Project Manager oversees several projects a year. While working with AMC, Emily is in charge of three movie theater renovations at a time.
Following a multimillion-dollar renovation led by JLL's PDS Multi-site team, the 600 N. Michigan AMC movie theaters are newly designed with luxurious Italian textile finishes. Additional bells and whistles include an open bar (above) filled with numerous beverage options for its customers, along with a full-menu concession area (below) that can deliver food right to your seat! Believe it or not, more of movie theaters' revenues come from concessions than ticket sales, we learned.
Another stand out is the more modern and innovative furniture and décor at AMC. Old, standard movie theater seats were replaced by comfortable, reclining brown seats with red lining to go along with the AMC brand colors. Although the capacity per auditorium has significantly decreased by almost 50%, AMC has decided to take a "quality over quantity" approach with the renovation of its movie theaters by reducing the amount of seats in order to provide guests with more comfort and space.
JLL's Chicago Markets interns have a busy summer planned as we absorb the intricacies of the commercial real estate industry. Check back here for updates on our adventures!

"Telangana's Sharia Faisla Board says those opposing Sharia will be considered as non-Muslims," by Yunus Y. Lasania, Live Mint, September 7, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Hyderabad: Calling the Supreme Court's verdict which
ruled triple talaq unconstitutional as an "interference" in Islamic law,
the Sharia Faisla Board (SFB), an umbrella body of prominent religious
and social Muslim organizations in Telangana, said on Thursday that it
will carry out a campaign to educate Muslims about Islam and the Sharia
(Muslim personal law) in the coming days. It also said that those
opposing the Sharia within the community will be considered non-Muslims.
"We will start this programme in Hyderabad and conduct it across
south India. The Supreme Court's ruling has opened the door for
interference in our religion," said Mushtaq Mallik, president, Muslim
Shabban Tahreek, while addressing a press conference. Mallik, along with
other members from various organisations which are part of the SFB
convened a meeting on Thursday to discuss the SC's verdict on triple
Mallik said that the SFB will carry out a door-to-door programme
starting with Hyderabad to explain Muslims about Islamic jurisprudence.
"Those who oppose, question or do not accept the Sharia or Islam, we
will explain these things to them also. If they still are not convinced,
then they will be ex-communicated from the religion and not be
considered as Muslims," he added

3 medium Russet Potatoes, skinned and diced
1 medium Yellow Onion, diced
3 cloves Garlic, minced
3 pieces of Bacon, diced
4 Tbsp Butter
2 Tbsp All-Purpose Flour
1 1/2 cups Clam meat, diced
1 cup Clam Juice
1 cup Heavy Cream
2 cups Milk
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp Thyme
1 tsp Parsley
- In a saucepot, cook the Bacon until crisp on medium heat.
- Add the Onions and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the Potatoes and Garlic, coating with the Oily Onion/Bacon mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring.
- In a bowl combine the Butter and the Flour to form a paste called a beurre manié.
- Add the beurre manié, Clams, and Clam Juice to the pot and bring to a boil.
- Add the Milk, Heavy Cream, and Herbs.
- Reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring often.
NOTES: I prefer to use bigger chunks in my Clam Chowder, so my dices are a little bigger than others…especially the Clams. However you should avoid having whole clams as they can be chewy–quartering is the best. I have no problem using high-quality canned clams for this, so long as preserved in water and not oil. Oh, and you'll notice that I omitted the use of Salt in this recipe. This is because of the salty bacon and salty clam juice, and the lower amount of potatoes, however you can always add salt to taste.
There are other types of Clam Chowder — Manhattan, Rhode Island, and Outer Banks (from the Carolinas), but none of them have the appeal of New England Clam Chowder to me. This is a true comfort food, and reminds me of the days when my family would go to buffet restaurants like Ryan's Steakhouse and Golden Corral. I would always start with a big bowl of New England Clam Chowder, and pick out the potatoes which seemed to take away from the clams!
Cassava Clam Chowder – Substitute Cassava for the Potatoes.
Rhode Island Clam Chowder – When adding the Clams, also add 1 cup diced Tomatoes.

I join the Salford Wardens
I was off school in the last week of January 1952 confined to bed with yet another bad cold and associated symptoms. It may seem odd that I had to stay in bed all day long with a routine bad cold, but it was the warmest place to be; there was still a critical coal shortage and we could never afford to keep a fire going all day downstairs, sickness in the family or not. I had fixed an extension loudspeaker up to my bedroom from the 3-valve wireless downstairs, so I listened to the wireless a lot during the day as well as reading books. I did not do any school work: I convinced myself that doing school work would not help my recovery.
On Thursday of that week I listened to a live commentary on the departure of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip from Heathrow Airport at the start of their Commonwealth Tour. The BBC commentator described how the King and Queen were on the tarmac to wave goodbye to the Prince and Princess and he especially mentioned how Their Majesties were both wrapped up warmly against a biting wind. The commentator added that the King looked better after his recent illness and that he had insisted on being present to see off his daughter and son-in- law.
Below: my diary entry for 31 January1952
It is difficult in the 21st Century for some people to understand how popular our Royal Family was in the 1950s. For example, the National Anthem was still played at the end of every film show in cinemas and theatres and most people dutifully stood to attention at their seats until it finished. There were, of course, always a few who tried to get out of the cinema before the National Anthem started, not necessarily because they were anti-Royalists, but simply because in some odd way they found it embarrassing to stand up in public for the Anthem. Most cinemas faded the house lights up either just before, or during, the playing of the National Anthem.
By Sunday 3 February, I had recovered sufficiently to be up and about again. I listened to Elgar's 2nd Symphony on the wireless, the very first time I had heard that majestic work. In the evening I went on out my bike around the local area to deliver some messages for the Salford Wardens that had just been delivered to me by hand.
The Wardens had nothing to do with hospital wardens, countryside wardens, or similar groups of wardens that we come across today; they were a hangover from the war, a kind of local Home Guard but without the uniforms or weapons. As I recall things, most of the wardens were elderly gentlemen, but anyone over the age of about 40 seemed elderly to me! The Salford Wardens were, however, extremely dedicated to their task. Their Central HQ was in an old warehouse on Adelphi Street, on the bank of the River Irwell near Salford Crescent. The idea seemed to be that in the event of an "unexpected invasion by any foreign power", the entire warden force would be alerted by a small band of bicycling teenagers known as Salford Messengers.
I can't remember how I first came to be involved with the Messengers - it was not a school initiative and none of my school friends were involved. Before I could be enrolled, I had to pass an extensive oral examination demonstrating that I could commit to memory a lengthy series of dictated orders and instructions and then repeat them, word perfect, to a recipient who was at a location, usually his home or a local pub, often several miles away. The messages, which tended to consist of map references, dates and times, and code words, were always dictated to us individually by one of the 'senior' wardens. It was stressed that the messages were secret and were not to be discussed with other messengers. I had a good memory and I could do that sort of thing easily - I wish I still could! It all seemed a bit exciting.
We were also regularly tested on our knowledge of the roads, streets and back alleys in Salford so that we could find our way around quickly by day or night without the need for a map - which were in any case still very hard to come by. We were often told that the shortest or most obvious route had been blocked by "enemy action" and, therefore, we would have to find a different way. Because I cycled hundreds of miles each year in and around Manchester, Salford and neighbouring boroughs, I had no problem passing that test. Inevitably, what with school for us teenagers and work for the adults, most of the Wardens' and Messengers' work was carried out in the evenings - even in mid-winter and regardless of the weather. I don't remember ever attending a Messengers' meeting on a Saturday or a Sunday.
It was never clear to me how we boy messengers (never girls) would be alerted in the first place in the event of an "unexpected invasion" because very few families had a telephone in the house. There were meetings at Warden HQ most Monday evenings but, after I had been a messenger for several months, most of the messages I was called upon to deliver to the homes of wardens were to tell those who were absent that the following week's meeting was cancelled. On Monday evening 4 February 1952, I went to the home of Mr Lappin, the Group Warden, as he had several letters he wanted me to deliver to various addresses - including one addressed to his own wife! His wife was surprised to see me but invited me into the house while she read the message. She then gave me a French textbook as "a reward for delivering messages" and showed me out. I had already started to wonder whether I was wasting my valuable evenings working for the Salford Messengers. The last mention of the Messengers in my diary was 20 May 1952. Although I didn't write what happened at that meeting, I think I had become so disillusioned that I simply stopped going. In any case, by May there were far more important things on my mind.

Today in SA Parliament, Greens MLC, Tammy Franks asked the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Kyam Maher, why the voices of the 32 Aboriginal communities who have already said no to a high level waste dump proposal were being ignored.
"Having failed to get the go ahead from the second citizen's jury Premier Weatherill is now trying to push on with a Referendum but has stated he will give Traditional Owners a veto after the fact" Ms Franks said.
"Asking Aboriginal communities last is simply not good enough.
"Offering them the scraps of a 'veto' once the debate is done and dusted when they have already said no is not just disrespectful it's also duplicitous.
"The citizen's jury observed that 32 Aboriginal communities have already been asked and have already said no. How many more times do they have to say no before Labor will finally listen?
"If the Weatherill Labor Government were serious about true consent and consensus in this debate they would have ensured the Traditional Owners of the areas where this high level waste dump will potentially be built to be asked first not last in their proposed Referendum process" Ms Franks concluded.

Take control of your hard drives. Using AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard, you can control each part of your hard drives, including partitions, virtual situations, reinforcement methods, information security wipes and working framework relocation. This holding nothing back one suite is pressed with helpful utility devices. It incorporates an astounding partition assistant, yet it can likewise be utilized to move information to another hard drive, to go down information to different drives or online storage devices, to move a physical OS to a virtual situation and to totally delete information from a hard drive that you need to offer. The product can likewise dismantle and adjust pre-set processing plant arranged partitions.
This allotment manager is perfect with all Windows working frameworks, including 32-and 64-bit Windows 10 OS, and it can work with various HDD interfaces including SATA, SCSI, SSSD, IEEE and USB 3.0. This exceptionally perfect programming backings four sorts of virtual machines and most removable media organizations, including DVDs and Blu-Ray Disks.
Why you need Partitions Hard Drive in Windows 10?
For the most part, there is one and only partition on hard drive which is made by the manufacturer. In any case, most clients of Windows 10 will make more partitions if there is one segment on hard drive.
Why they require more partition?
Concerning the majority of clients, there are two key reasons. One reason is that your PC can be assaulted by virus sometime in the future, if this fiasco happens on your segment and you arrange the partition. What will happen? If there was one segment on hard drive that implies the majority of your information will be wiped in the wake of arranging. No one needs this exist in his life, so more partitions to store distinctive things or used to reinforcement are truly fundamental. Another reason is that you can isolate your working OS, projects and information. Along these lines, it is more comfort for you to deal with your diverse information. Likewise imperative is that if one day your OS is smashed, you simply need to reinstall the OS; the projects or information put away in different segments are still sheltered.
Other than the two reasons specified over, a few clients partition hard drive in Windows 10 because of they need to have various working on the same PC or they stress an excess of things in the same allotment will drop down the velocity of the system. Regardless of which reason makes them segment hard drive in Windows 10, there is most likely this is a shrewd decision for them.
Why you should resize parcel in Windows 10?
The specifically answer is that it can help you exploit space. For example, because of the day by day expanding information, you PC may be in low disk space, particularly for OS segment. In the meantime, this issue will impact the speed of PC.

- Best Adapted Screenplay – Chris Terrio
Friday at work, Chris ran across a signature block from someone that said, "Lest We Forget: April 24, 1980." Since neither one of us knew what that was about, I looked it up and found that it was referencing the giant failed attempt by the United States to rescue 52 Americans being held hostage in Iran, which didn't work but left 8 American servicemen dead. I wondered if Argo was about this, because my post-World War II American history knowledge (or any American history knowledge . . .) isn't exactly top notch. And while Argo is only about an aspect of that hostage situation, it was still interesting to get a bit of background right before we watched it.
Being an historical movie, Argo is extremely well-paced and doesn't get too hung up on political speak. It gives just enough context and background, especially by using a really effective opening of storyboards showing the political history in Iran from about the 1950s up to the late 1970s. It not only sets a tone for the movie, by using storyboards, but sets the stage enough to where the characters' dialogue isn't completely bogged down in exposition.
I think it's been talked a lot in the media, but although as a producer, Ben Affleck is nominated for Best Picture for Argo, he was noticeably left out in the Directing and Best Actor categories, which I thought was disappointing. Given how incredibly tense Argo is, Ben Affleck's performance was appropriately subdued, which I thought really worked; it would be a lot harder to believe a flamboyant attention-getter was tasked with sneaking 6 Americans out of Iran.
Argo also perfectly employed the tricky after-the-movie exposition that ends up being cheesy in so many movies; instead of putting text on the screen, they showed photos of the characters in the movie next to the actual people they played. This touch really showed how much attention the filmmakers put into the details. There was also an interesting few sentences from Jimmy Carter at the end, talking about how important the rescue was and how hard it was to keep it a secret.
And I have to say, it was such a great moment when Ben Affleck and Matt Damon won for Best Original Screenplay for Good Will Hunting, I think it would be pretty cute for an equally celebratory Ben Affleck and George Clooney to win as producers for Argo.
It was nice to finally watch this. The only reason I wanted to watch this was because John Goodman was cast as a minor character. And he come through as my favorite character but Argo was actually pretty good.
I guess I'm still not convinced that Ben Affleck can do good work (I think I still just see him as Gigli), but as the lead actor and director in Argo I think I now have a new image of him. I would gladly see any movie he directs. Especially if he keeps casting JG!
One thing that is bugging me and know it's just because I don't know how it works exactly but how is it that Alan Arkin is up for Best Supporting Actor when John Goodman had just as big a role?? It's not even about wanting JG to get the Oscar, of course he really does need one, but how did they choose Arkin? Why not Brian Cranston? He was in it as much if not more. One day I'll need to get some movie big shot to inform me on how the Best Supporting Actor category is picked.

You might want to check out Lotus Foundations (formerly Nitix).
Nitix was a commercial Linux distro originally built by Net Integrations Technologies, bought by IBM last year, and now marketed as Lotus Foundations. I only hope the decision by IBM to brand it with the Lotus name isn't a boat anchor for a very capable product.
In my past evaluations of Nitix, I found it incredibly easy to install with a feature set rivaling Microsoft's, while being significantly easier to use and manage. Built in support for Windows clients and VPN routing for multiple locations, email services with connectors for Outlook, and many other of the features you mention.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any current pricing info and it looks like IBM is primarily selling this through it's partners. Nitix was originally sold bundled with hardware or separately to run on your hardware. I think IBM is continuing to offer these options.
You can download a 30-day evaluation copy from the IBM Developer site (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/ls/lfoundation/learn.html – free registration req'd) which can be easily installed under Windows using the VMware player (http://www.vmware.com/download/player/).
Good luck.

M&S blames new website for quarterly sales fall
British retailer Marks & Spencer's underlying non-food sales fell for a 12th straight quarter, it said on Tuesday, hurt by the transition to a new web platform.
The firm said sales of non-food products, spanning clothing, footwear and homewares, at stores open over a year fell 1.5 percent in the 13 weeks to June 28, its fiscal first quarter.
That compares with analysts' forecast in a range of down 1-2 percent and a decline of 0.6 percent in the fourth quarter of M&S's 2013-14 year.
M&S cautioned in May that its new website, which went live in February, would take up to six months to "settle in". It said this was normal for the industry and denied there were problems with the site.
The firm said M&S.com sales fell 8.1 percent in the first quarter.
Within the non-food like-for-like figure M&S said clothing like-for-like sales fell 0.6 percent, having risen 0.6 percent in the fourth quarter.
M&S's food business, which contributes over half of group sales but less profit, is performing much better, delivering a 19th consecutive quarter of growth.
Its sales on the same basis rose 1.7 percent, versus analysts' forecasts of up 1.5-2.5 percent and a fourth quarter rise of 0.1 percent.
M&S said its full year guidance remained unchanged.

Dr. Edric Baker - A modern day saint
Anwar A. Khan
September 1 was the 3rd death anniversary of Dr Edric Baker. The cold hand of death snatched away Dr. Edric Baker's life on this day in 2015 at the age of 74. He was a qualified physician and as a servant of mankind, he treated persons who were in dire emergency need of medical care. He was born into a noble family and an affluent society in New Zealand in 1941.
Dr. Baker obtained his MBBS degree from Otego Medical College in his country in 1965. He could have lived there with pompous life earning so much money. But he didn't do that. He was a confirmed bachelor and decided to sacrifice his whole life treating the down-trodden people and patients in the remote villages of Bangladesh. And he did so with so much care and deep love till his sudden death three years back.
Dr. Edric Baker loved to give or bring back a patient's life. He set up a healthcare centre at a remote hamlet at Pirgacha, Madhupur Police Station, Tangail District of Bangladesh in 1983 where he served the poorest of the people by his treatment for more than three decades sacrificing his whole life. Smile was always writ large on his white face. He was affectionately called "Daktar Bhai" (doctor brother) throughout Tangail District.
Expressing an honest, personal, sensitive, caring attitude in every patient-physician encounter, despite objective difficulties such as time constraints, is an essential part of medical care and healing. As a result, both patients and physicians gain immensely and the quality of care and 'hard' health outcomes improve.
Thus, empathic medical practice adds an absolutely essential domain to the current sophisticated, technological and scientific medicine; therefore, existing deficiencies in the empathic aspects of care need urgent attention which this most revered Daktar Bhai selflessly rendered his most caring services to hundreds of thousands of poor patients almost at free of cost. He has trained up 89 young boys and girls as health assistants and paramedics who visit the neighboring villages to give treatment to the sick people, especially the pregnant mothers and newborns.
In a rare example of love and sacrifice, he had treated poor patients unto his death. In the language of Baker, "The people here are really good and they do not get healthcare due to poverty. I've chosen this country in order to give them a little health support." That was his simple assertion.
He collected the money from private donors including his friends and well-wishers in New Zealand, the US and the UK and spent the same for the treatment and welfare of his patients; not for his own purpose. He lived in a hut made of earth; used to wear ordinary lungis which our poor people usually wear in the villages; and used an ordinary bi-cycle to visit the patients' houses to render his kind-hearted treatment to them.
He was a humanist doctor; and undoubtedly, also a doctor par excellence! He lived and led a very simple life but at the same breath of pace, he was an extra-ordinary kind-hearted human being. Where shall we get another high quality of humanist doctor who will serve the destitute in those remote areas of Tangail District?
Becoming a doctor, he fostered humane caregivers through his treatment and made the patients feel well. For more than 30 years, "Doctor Bhai" has been a beacon of burnished humanism to the people and the patients there. Throughout his life, he has consistently and boldly stood up for the dignity and respect of all.
There many people out there in the world, travelling and discovering and learning and loving and inspiring and doing what people thought was impossible. He did impossible things to make them possible. Whether these poorest people realize it or not, an alien physician has inspired many people in that remote area. Not with a gun or a superpower, laws or missiles, but a medical-box, a stethoscope and with some medicines.
"Sitting in his mud-built one-room home just behind the centre, he told one correspondent of a reputed Daily once upon a time with flurry that he now waits for a successor. Many students get MBBS degree in the country every year. I'm waiting for one of them to come and take the responsibility to provide treatment to the poor in the area." But he lamented that no one did turn up!
As he was laid to rest, two lines of people formed surrounding his house and extending all the way out to the road. Slowly everybody gave their final farewells and each person sprinkled earth over his grave.
At the end of the day the staff was happy that they were able to fulfill two out of three of his final wishes. His first wish was to take his last breath at Kailakuri. His second wish was that he be buried here at the Kailakuri Health Care Centre. His third wish was that the hospital continues to stay open and operational long into the future. His last wish will never be completed without the help of others.
The Dr. Edric Baker is the greatest humanist the universe has ever known. He considered treating of patients was a great privilege for him. Good doctors are humble doctors, willing to listen to their patients and gather together the full array of resources-medical, human, social, and spiritual-that will contribute to their patients' healing. And he was such a great and noble physician!
Expressing an honest, personal, sensitive, caring attitude in every patient-physician encounter, despite objective difficulties such as time constraints, is an essential part of medical care and healing. As a result, both patients and physicians gain immensely and the quality of care and hard health outcomes improve. Thus, empathic medical practice adds an absolutely essential domain to the current sophisticated, technological and scientific medicine; therefore, existing deficiencies in the empathic aspects of care need urgent attention.
Dr. Baker achieved distinction because of his humanistic approach to medical practice for his patients. His profile helps to demonstrate the huge potential of the medical humanities.
He was a man, led by his feelings, who helped poor patients in various ways, regardless of their social status, ethnic and religious affiliation, and sometimes even regardless of the current moral values of the environment he or she has been working in. Science and medicine, however, as Dr. Baker realized, are practiced in the context of human desires and needs, and so always within some sort of moral context, as he made clear in summing up:
"The doctor must be practiced in logical theory in order to discover the nature of the body, the differences between diseases, and the indications as to treatment; he or she must despise money and cultivate self-control in order to stay the course.
He or she must, therefore, know all the parts of philosophy: the logical, the physical, and the ethical: In that case there will be no danger of his performing any evil action since he or she practices self-control and despises money: all evil actions that men or women undertake are done either at the prompting of greed or under the spell of pleasure. And so he or she is bound to be in the possession of the other virtues too, for they all go together. It is impossible to gain one without acquiring all the others as an immediate consequence; they are connected as if by one string."
He offered a graphic, idiosyncratic imagining of his followers. He imagined them gathering around God…and nearest God, forming a circle about Him, are geometers, mathematicians, philosophers, doctors, astronomers, and scholars. After them the second band: painters, sculptors, grammarians, carpenters, architects; and after them the third order: all the other arts.
Each is drawn up in his individual place; but they all fix God with the same constant look, obedient to His bidding…You will find here, too, many who stand actually with the God?-?a sort of fourth rank, picked out from the others…The contemplation of this band and of its character will, he fancied, conduced to emulation and, indeed, adoration. Socrates is among them, and Homer, Hippocrates, and Plato, as well as their lovers; these are people to be revered like Jasminum officinale, as they are the true jasmine.
The concept of humanism has been a cornerstone of medicine throughout history. Most physicians would probably agree that a humanistic approach to patients - one that is sensitive to the cultural backgrounds, values, and preferences of the patient-is essential for quality patient care. Dr. Baker worked tirelessly to give quality treatment for his patients. Famous English Poet John Donne once aptly said, "Death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind." His death is a rude shock to me; and to us all in Bangladesh.
A modern day saint died letting us to shed tears because of sadness or pain for his noble services for the poorest of the in a remote hamlet of Tangail District. Rise up and salute this sun repeatedly. The Bangladesh Government should make necessary arrangements to honor this noble soul as quickly as possible.

Filed under: Sex is a Conversation | Tags: a woman's breasts, breasts, cleavage, kissing, sex, sexual
I Love being a woman.
I read a great many blogs about sex. Most of them are a delight to read. Some of them can make my blood boil. But, all of them make me think. I enjoy hearing others thoughts and opinions about sex and our bodies.
I have been thinking a lot about breasts lately. Granted, mainly mine. I'll come back to that. But then, my thoughts went to all womens breasts, and the way they are thought of, looked at and how they are needed.
Please, I beg you to put me out of my misery, if I ever begin to think that my breasts should not be cherished and revered by men. The following is an excerpt from a blog I came across . . . .
". . . So are breasts sexual?
Breasts are just a part of the "whole package" that makes a woman. Obviously they are beautiful, feminine body parts, yes, but the mere looking at them in some everyday context shouldn't make men instantly think about sex.
We are not saying that men can't appreciate woman's breasts as feminine and beautiful body parts, or that man and woman can't enjoy touching each other's bodies during the intimate relationship. We are saying breasts are NOT supposed to be an immediate "turn-on", a special obsession point for men.
The advertisements and media images play to the idea that men are supposed to be "all ready" the instant they get a flash of a breast. It's not men's fault though, if they think so, because they have been culturally conditioned to see it that way. So on this site we hope to fight back against this sad trend.
We're saying let breasts be like legs and hips and neck and face etc. and all the other body parts – not some almost like inanimate objects that automatically 'click men's brains' to the "turn on" mode. Some people mention to us Song of Solomon, which mentions breasts in a sexual context. BUT it clearly places breasts on the same level as other body parts, such as teeth, neck, and hair. . . . "
Please never look at my breasts as just another body part. I know, I can hear the feminists screaming now. Because I also at times want my legs, my hips, my neck, my hair and my face, to be considered sexual parts of me too. Does that mean I don't want to be respected and have my 'whole package' appreciated? Of course I do. I also want that little organ between my ears to be appreciated and respected. I know, I am demanding. : )
Having said that, may I say, that I love my breasts. I love having them peeked at, while I allow just enough cleavage to attract your attention. I want it to stir in you. I want you to think of having my breasts later. I want you to think of how they will feel to your hands and how they will respond to your touch. I want you to hear my moans when you touch me the way you know I like, the way I need. I want you to see that my nipples get harder because of the arousal you stir in me. I need you to kiss them, lick them, and suck them. Please take my breasts into your mouth. I am proud of my breasts and of how you want them, and of how I want you to have them. I want you to lay your face into them. Feel how soft, warm, fleshy, comforting and inviting that my breasts can be. I want you to find and know that comfort, warmth, nourishment, sexual energy, love, care and arousal – all from my breasts. I want them to sustain you. I want them to make you hungry for me. I want you to want them. I love your touch. I love that when you touch them, you listen to them, and you know them. I need how you make me feel.
How lucky are we as women? Our breasts. They give life sustaining fluid for our babies, and life sustaining care, to our men. It is truly a beautiful circle of care.
I love being a woman.

It's raining.
I wish I could understand the affect that rain has on me.
It arouses me.
Why when it is so wet outside, does it make me so wet, inside?
Filed under: Sex is a Conversation | Tags: desires, erotic control, fantasies, journey, ravenous, secrets, sexual needs
I know that I have spoke of this before, but recently it has been deep in my thoughts.
In my chosen career I have to say again, that I find it more and more satisfying knowing that I have allowed a place for you to give to me, your most secret and treasured fantasies and desires.
This has become such a surprising revelation to me. I have found that as you open and share with me your private place, I absolutely want and need to delve in deeper and feel it with you. I am constantly surprised at how much I feed off of your secrets. I love knowing that I am the one you whisper them too. That I am the one who you can talk with. That I am the one who can take you on our journey of discovery.
Erotic control.
I become ravenous to know your needs.

"Body of woman, white hills, white thighs,
you look like a world, lying in surrender.
– Pablo Neruda
While I was recently enjoying a few days in the mountains, the voice of Pablo Neruda came to me.
I was watching the fog quietly roll in and cover our mountains, as if it were very familiar with every curve and valley the terrain offered to it.
While watching the slow motion of the fog, it made me feel the touch of a lover's hand that knows just how and where to softly explore. The fog is allowed to creep slowly over the trees and the ground, covering it from view. Hiding it, suffocating it, with a silent visible care that only the mountains seem to understand.
It is just that way with a knowing lover's hand that you need and that you want to have cover you, hide you, and suffocate you.
When the blanket of fog had drifted away, I found it had left it's print on the mountain. The light dusting of snow that it left to cover the mountain will melt, seeping into the ground and give life sustaining nourishment that is so needed for the mountains to survive.
That is exactly why we need our lovers hand on our body.
His print nourishes me all day. I relive his touch in my mind and my heart, and I find that I need it again and again. It feeds me. It sustains me.

41/2 Stars
Don Brown's consummate JAG advocate, Lieutenant Commander Zack Brewer returns in Defiance, the third book in the Navy Justice series.
Still grieving the loss of Diane Colcernian at the hands of extremists, Zack remains with the Navy seeking refuge from the public interest which arose from his previous legal achievements. He is unwittingly thrown into the spotlight again when his current trial is hijacked by US presidential hopeful, Senator Eleanor Claxton, seeking to garner support for her liberal views and label the trial as a witch hunt. At the same time Navy intelligence reveals Zack's life may be in danger from the same terrorists that kidnapped Diane nearly 18 months earlier.
NCIS agent, Shannon McGilverry, is assigned to protect Zack but as she begins to link a murder in Paris with rumours of hostages hidden in the Mongolian desert, her own heart is the one at risk, threatened by each truth she reveals. Zack is not only targeted by terrorists but also someone closer to home.
Don Brown has succeeded again, penning an engrossing story of political intrigue and high suspense which kept me reading well into the early hours of the morning. His personal experience as a JAG officer lends authenticity and credibility to the courtroom scenes and Navy details. The ending left some unresolved issues and Zack's faultless personality is a little overstated but in the end these things do not detract from a top-notch story and leaves the way open for a further book in this enthralling series.
If you haven't already done so I recommend reading Treason and Hostage before Defiance is released by Zondervan in March, 2007.

(FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY : Gerard, do NOT PUT THIS ON THE BLOG)
Dear Team,
Strong first day numbers for Yo La Tengo's 'I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass', as expected, what with that fucking whirly-bird contest and all the good press we paid for. But before you dislocate your shoulders patting yourselvess on the fucking back, keep in mind that we're still fighting a losing battle at the big boxes, where this album is still pretty hard to find.
I'm expecting a progress report no later than 3pm today about what sort of mischief our regional kids have been up to in the past 24 hours. I thought we'd made the point that hiding the new John Mayer, Black Keys and Mars Volta CD's wasn't merely some kind of rock biz sabotage mission, but could in fact, be framed as an "us vs. them" schism. Indie vs. major. Indie vs. other indie. Me vs. you. You vs. not having a fucking job. Please don't make me spell this out for you any further.
I'm also told there is no stock at the Borders on Church Street. Enough with the excuses, already, it's been five fucking years.
OK. I'm off to lift weights. You can reach me on the Fuckberry. I want digital pix of those Black Keys and Mars Volta discs hidden in the country section, I'm not kidding around.
You should be very afraid of me and I will kick your ass.
That was a joke, by the way. You'd better fucking laugh.
Tony Matador


text: A copita is just a little cup, and mezcal, as you might already know, is agave spirit—like tequila. It comes from the blue agave, a long-leafed desert succulent similar in appearance (though not related) to aloe. The plant is harvested, the leaves are hacked off, and the resulting core, called a piña, resembles a giant pineapple. These are roasted then crushed and fermented, and finally distilled. Categorically speaking tequila is also mezcal, but by definition tequila is more specific because it has to come from Jalisco. Anyway, we are talking about mezcal here which is similar in flavor, having all of the goodness you get from distilled agave, but often with additional smokiness reminiscent of the roasting process. Let's stop right here and mention that any bottle with a worm in it is just a marketing gimmick. Today, we have better choices than that, and there is some fantastic mezcal

Catherine Zeta-Jones
Catherine Zeta-Jones was born September 25, 1969 in Swansea, West Glamorgan, Wales, UK. She is the daughter of Patricia (Fair) and David James "Dai" Jones, who formerly owned a sweet factory. Her father is of Welsh descent and her mother is of English, Irish, and Welsh ancestry. Her brothers are David Jones (born 1967), a development executive, and Lyndon Jones (born 1972), who works at her production company. Catherine showed an interest early on in entertainment. She starred on stage in "Annie", "Bugsy Malone" and "The Pajama Game". At age 15, she had the lead in the British revival of "42nd Street". She was originally cast as the second understudy for the lead role in the musical but when the star and first understudy became sick the night the play's producer was in the audience, she was given the lead for the rest of the musical's production. She first made a name for herself in the early 1990s when she starred in the Yorkshire Television comedy/drama series The Darling Buds of May (1991). The series was a success and made her one of the United Kingdom's most popular television actresses. She subsequently played supporting roles in several films including Christopher Columbus: The Discovery (1992), the miniseries Catherine the Great (1996) and a larger role as the seductive Sala in The Phantom (1996) before landing her breakthrough role playing the fiery Elena opposite Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas in The Mask of Zorro (1998). She starred in many big-budget blockbusters like Entrapment (1999), The Haunting (1999) and Traffic (2000), for which many believed she was robbed of an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress. She won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress as murderous vaudevillian Velma Kelly in the musical comedy Chicago (2002). She then appeared opposite George Clooney in Intolerable Cruelty (2003), Ocean's Twelve (2004) and reprised her starring role in the sequel The Legend of Zorro (2005). In November 2000, she married actor Michael Douglas. She gave birth to their son Dylan Michael in August 2000 followed by daughter, Carys, in April 2003. She was awarded Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 2010 Queen's Birthday Honours List for her services to drama.

Introducing animated GIF and MP4 video download for PRO, PLUS and TEAM plans!
You can download your animated banners in high-resolution MP4 or GIF with all the smooth transitions and animations.
If your current plan is PRO or higher, you can choose to download your banners as GIF or MP4. If you choose GIF, our export engine will automatically select between static or animated GIF download, based on your banner type. Static banners will be automatically downloaded as static GIF, and animated banners as animated GIF.
A banner is considered animated if it has multiple slides or at least one transition on any layer. Our server algorithm identifies animated banners and will export them automatically as animated GIF.
PRO and TEAM users are able to export all of their animated banners in dynamic, high resolution, 24fps - GIFs or MP4 video*. Due to server processing limitations, the export may take a few minutes to complete, but both versions (GIF and MP4) are generated in the background, so downloading the second format after the first one has been completed is almost instant.
Static GIFs are available in all of our plans, but only single-slide static GIFs are available to Free users.
Because these two formats are exclusive BETA features for our PRO and TEAM users, please make sure that you upgrade your plan in order to fully enjoy animated MP4 and GIF download.
*Due to technical limitations, the length of the exported banners cannot exceed:
max. 40 seconds - Animated GIF
max. 120 seconds - MP4 video
Another GIF limitation implies that all animated GIFs banners cannot be larger than 960px. This means that all banners with a larger size will be resized to 960px when exported as an animated GIF so for those large banners we strongly recommend using the MP4 or HTML5 exports or the embed code that we provide.

{Charle's Baudelaire's monument in the Cimetiere du Montparnasse.}
In a piece on the decadent writers for the New Yorker from October 1923, collected in the first of the new Library of America volumes, Edmund Wilson writes,
The school which began with Baudelaire and is now dissolving with Arthur Symons derived its principal force from its constant conviction of sin. The decadents talked much about "paganism," but their point of view was not pagan: it was a reaction against Victorian Christianity by people who were still Christians and Victorians. . . . How can you believe that sin is "the good" and at the same time believe it to be sin? From the point of view of the person who is really convinced of the sinfulness both of the pleasures of the flesh and of the play of the intelligence, they are things to be sedulously shunned; from a point of view really pagan, they do not become an issue at all. Baudelaire had to pretend to take the Devil seriously while he was spending his artistic life endeavoring to make him attractive; and his successors followed his example.
Wilson has hit upon the primary problem with rebellion as a position in general: a significant part of the attraction of rebellion is--and, it seems clear, always has been--simply doing what one is not supposed to do. Yet that very pleasure can only occur if one allows that the rules one is breaking have some essential power. What's fun is to realize that Wilson wrote this from the heart of the rebellion that was 1920s Greenwich Village--and that he and his milieu were not even that distant in time from the decadents about whom he was writing. Baudelaire had been long dead, but Aubrey Beardsley, Oscar Wilde, and Paul Verlaine, to take a few, had only died--and thus left off outraging society--twenty-five years or so earlier. When Wilson goes on to write that Baudelaire, like other fin-de-siecle writers, seems diminished now--that we can't read them
with the enthusiasm of their contemporaries. The effectiveness of the subjects dealt with depends on one's being shocked by them, and when the prejudices to be baited have been removed, the works of art are no longer exciting.--an unspoken question lingers: If those artists' creations had, in a sense, been assimilated in such a short time, what clues did that give about the fate of the more outre works--and lives--of Wilson's own contemporaries?
For all his careful contextualization, however, Wilson never goes so far as to outright dismiss Baudelaire. For that, we have to turn to Borges, who, in a letter to his friend Adolfo Bioy Casares, positively erupts on the topic:
It is ridiculous to fill literature with cushions and furniture and show evil in a positive light. Baudelaire helps one gauge whether a person understands anything at all about poetry, whether he is an imbecile or not: anyone who admires Baudelaire is an imbecile.
If Borges is limiting the category of imbecile to people who admire Baudelaire, then I escape easily. But if--as seems likely from the context--by "admire" Borges actually means "enjoy," then an imbecile I am, at least once in a while. I suppose there are worse things to be--like maybe a devil?

Canon SD780 IS service manual?
Estas son algunas de las herramientas comunes que se utilizaron para trabajar en este dispositivo. Es posible que no necesites todas las herramientas para cada procedimiento.
The Canon Powershot SD 780 is small. It is the "slimmest Digital ELPH Canon has ever created," but you really don't get a full feel for how diminutive that is until you're holding it. It has a resolution bump from 10 megapixels to 12, the company's Digic 4 processor, a slightly wider lens, and the ability to capture movies in HD. For its size, it's an impressive camera. You won't mistake its photo quality for that of a larger, more expensive camera, but it ranks in the top of its class. Its video quality is very good, too. If you need a tiny camera for your pocket or purse, strongly consider the SD780 IS.
Camera Identification:
The SD780 does the same things in the same way as every other Canon Powershot compact cameras, however, the only differentiation is that it is just smaller!The SD780 is the same size as a credit card, 3-3/8 x 2-1/8.

Once again MonoNeon has inspired Questlove. On April 9th Monday night Cardi B was the first co-host on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, her third appearance on the show. That Monday night was also Questlove's third time playing MonoNeon's Cardi B instrumentals. MonoNeon's Cardi B songs can be heard on the videos where he finds melody and creates short songs from Cardi B's talking.
View the video: HERE
I wonder does Cardi B know about MonoNeon? Is Cardi B aware that she is MonoNeon's muse for his music? The world needs to see the special gems MonoNeon has been creating and maybe soon we can see Questlove and MonoNeon jam together… with Cardi B!

|Jealousness Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner (c/o Eye Candy's)
I've never tried liquid eyeliner before--only pencil and gel--so when Eye Candy's sponsored me, I decided to try the Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Pen by Jealousness, a favorite among Taiwanese beauty bloggers. I love the dramatic look of liquid liner and was excited to try an Asian beauty brand.
|Jealousness Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner (c/o Eye Candy's)
Product: Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Pen by Jealousness
Color: Black
Vendor: Eye Candy's, for $15.90 USD
Description: With its soft, flexible brush, this product makes drawing precise, clean lines a breeze! Deep, rich pigment dries in only seconds and lasts all day without smudging thanks to the water-resistant polymer coat formula. Ideal for drawing cat eyes or winged eyeliner.
- Soft, flexible brush is easy to use
- Eyeliner formula is smooth and consistent
- Great for creating dramatic cat-eyes
- Dries really fast once applied
- Absolutely no smudging throughout the day
- Came off easily with face wash
- Not quite waterproof
- Can require a couple of coats for complete opaqueness
This liquid liner is great, especially for a first-timer like me. I've been wearing it everyday. Although pencil eyeliner is faster to use, I love how sharp my cat eyes look now. It's not really waterproof though--it washes off pretty easily with just some water, so keep that in mind if it's humid/rainy outside.
I'm slowly turning into a liquid liner lover, but the room for error is a little higher than pencil. With pencil, sometimes you can just smudge out mistakes and it looks smokey. With liquid, you really have to get it right the first time or else it dries really fast.
|Jealousness Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner (c/o Eye Candy's)
Let me know if you have any liquid eye liner recommendations!
And don't forget: you can get a free gift with purchase at Eye Candy's with code SWEETSNHEARTS at checkout.

Holocaust survivor Tomi Reichental urged people to stand up when they see wrongdoing.
"Don't become a bystander," Reichental told more than 100 people gathered at Stonehill College recently. "If they see bullying – and they see it is done because the victim is of different skin color or religion, don't become a bystander. Say something because when it was happening to the Jews nobody said it was wrong, and then we had the tragedy that we had."
Reichental and director Gerry Gregg were at Stonehill College to discuss their latest documentary "Condemned to Remember," a film that draws a parallel between the Holocaust and recent mass murders worldwide. The event was part of the James J. Kenneally lecture series at the college's Martin Institute and was held on Thursday, Oct. 11. College Provost Joseph Favazza served as moderator and Kathleen Currul-Dykeman introduced speakers.
The film is the third documentary Gregg and Reichental made together and the pair discussed why it was so important to make.
"History propels us in this film," said Gregg.
While they were in Europe closing their second, the influx of refugees coming to the continent was massive, said Reichental.
"It reminds me of what was happening in early 1939 when the Jews were trying to escape the Nazis and unfortunately no one wanted them," said Reichental.
Reichental said that the parallels between today's issues, specifically with Syrian refugees, worries him because it is very similar to his own experiences during the Holocaust.
"This is history repeating itself, we should really touch on this issue, and that's how you become condemned to remember," he said.
"I'm doing it by talking in schools to young people of course," said Reichental.
However, simply talking about it is not enough, he said.
"Jewish people should carry the memory, especially since we survivors will pass away and someone will have to carry the burden, and make sure the Holocaust is not forgotten," said Reichental.
Reichental said events commemorating what happened will keep memories alive, and that it is essential the stories continue to be retold because "after we are gone, there are those that will say it never happened."
Gregg said everyone must make sure the stories live on.
"I believe it is not the responsibility of Jews alone, but of all of us," Gregg said.

Why I Like Joss Whedon
Before I had even heard Whedon's name, I was cruising through the paper when I ran across a Buffy The Vampire Slayer entry which didn't have the shading that meant "movie"
"A series?" I thought. "The movie was a lot of fun but how are they going to sustain a whole series?"
I checked it out. It was the episode with the hyenas and I was hooked. It was funny, creepy and smart. I also assumed it was doomed because "funny" and "smart" are usually death sentences for a TV show (see Greg The Bunny). I watched Buffy every week and at the end of many episodes I would reply to the "next week on" teaser with the statement, "Well, this is it. The show has jumped the shark." But I would tune in the following week to see that Joss had managed to take an idea that was stupid on its face and make it work.
This is because Joss Whedon has seen all of the same TV shows and movies that we have and he has been annoyed by the clichés and cookie-cutter plots as much as we have. The good news is that he's a good enough writer to do something about it.
Which brings me to Firefly which I like much more than Buffy and cosmically more than Angel.
The first episode of Firefly I saw was The Train Job. Mal, is facing down a thug who works for a crime boss that the main characters have just angered. Mal offers him a deal and the thug responds with the usual, "We will hunt you down. We will dog your steps. Everywhere you go we'll be one step behind" stuff. Mal nods and kicks the guy into the starship engine. The other thugs are much more agreeable after seeing that.
Talk. About. Hooked.
The main character on a TV show just did something that my brain had been screaming for other TV characters to do. He did something ruthless and smart. I'm not saying I want more death on TV. What I'm saying is I want fewer discussions of the "why didn't he just shoot the guy" variety to be necessary. I want clearly-defined characters with internal consistency. Kicking that guy into the engine told me that this show was different. This show was for me. It also, correctly this time, told me that this show was doomed.
Serenity comes out on my birthday. Even if there are no more Firefly-related movies or shows, I'll get to see some of my favorite characters on the big screen.
And Joss will keep writing stuff.
And maybe I will, too.

This year's Blake squad looks different than last season's Bears in many ways.
New head coach Jon Sturgis is the most noticeable difference, but the Bears also lost their top three scorers, (George Ordway, Donald Chute, and Ryan Bullock) who combined for 125 points and led the team to a 21-3-2 record before losing to Orono in the section 2A playoffs.
In a season with so much new, the biggest bright spots for Blake have been forwards Zach Doerring and Spencer Naas, who were with the club through the transitions.
"Last year we were kinda overshadowed by some of the older guys that were really big for us and scored a lot of points," said Naas, a sophomore. "When those guys left there was some more pressure on us but we both worked hard in the summer, we both want to get better and so far it's been fine."
In Saturday's 6-4 victory over Minnehaha Academy (7-4-2) at Minnehaha Academy Ice Arena in Minneapolis, the pair was more than fine, tallying seven total points and scoring Blake's first two goals of the game. The first goal was a nifty pass across the crease from Naas to Doerring, who buried it, and the second was from Doerring to Naas, on a similar cross-ice pass.
"They were buzzing, they had a lot of opportunities," said coach Jon Sturgis of the two. "Both Zach Doerring and Spencer Naas, I thought played well in the first period and they capitalized on some of the opportunities."
The Bears (7-6-0) have been up-and-down so far this season, so Sturgis decided before the game that he would mix things up a bit and reunite the forwards who had been on separate lines for most of the year.
The decision paid dividends, and fast.
"It's been a while since we started playing together, but today coach decided to put us back on the same line," Doerring said. "We've had good chemistry for the past year and we were just really feeling it tonight. Really good communication, we just know were the other person is gonna be."
"We kinda have different styles," Naas said. "He's more of a bigger, power guy, and I'm a little smaller so we kind of use our different styles to make plays for each other and open up some space so it works well."
On the season, Naas (22 points) and Doerring (18 points) are respectively first and second in scoring on the Bears.
Consistency, not scoring however, has been the problem for Blake. Both forwards have been instrumental in keeping the team on track in places besides the score sheet.
"It's different when a new coach comes in," Doerring said. "You gotta keep the team together, keep coherent, make sure everyone's on the same page for everything."
Blake survived an onslaught from the scrappy Redhawks and turned the tide late in the third period with two goals to win 6-4 in the Jan. 7 matchup at Minnehaha Ice Arena.
The Bears (7-6-0) had taken a 4-1 lead early over Minnehaha (7-4-2) before coughing up three straight goals, leaving the score at 4-4 early in the third.
With 9:09 left to play, sophomore Johnny Austin found space against Minnehaha goaltender with an upper-corner slap shot on the power play to make it 5-4. Just 53 seconds later, with 8:16 left, Blake Szalapski tipped a shot from the point that slid into the net, sealing the game.
The first period belonged to the Bears, who received goals from sophomore forward Spencer Naas, senior forward Zach Doerring, and junior defenseman Peter Hildreth.
Senior Michael Fabie, who scored a shorthanded goal in the first, scored early in the second and senior Andrew Wray added another in the period.
Goaltender Matt Hultman made 58 saves in the game and kept the Redhawks in contention.

A few years ago I was a special education teacher. In the system that I worked in special education teachers had the option to receive a bonus because they were in a hard to fill position. The catch was you had to agree to stay in that system for three years. If you left before that three years was up, you had to repay the bonus. My husband and I went back and forth over should we take it or not? Passing up that amount of money when we thought we didn't know what our plans were for me working for the next three years was really hard to do. Although, I can tell you now that I think we did know that I wouldn't keep working full time. We were looking for just the security in our bank account.
The day came for me to go pick up the bonus and sign the paperwork. It was a horrible day. I had sick children. I was feeling sick. I ended up leaving work early. I had to get my parents to help me with picking up one of my children and then figuring out how and what to do with the other one. Basically I remember nothing but roadblock after roadblock. As I was driving to a not convenient location for this meeting, I kept hitting traffic and it took me forever. But it wasn't until I sat in that room, signed the paperwork and then sat in my car and opened the check did I really stop and realize how strongly the hand of God had been pressing down. All I can tell you is that the check was taxed at the absolute highest point legally possible and that I knew we would end up having to pay back more than the actual check if I didn't continue teaching. It was devastating, but a good lesson in heeding the pressure of God.
Fast forward to this past weekend. My husband and I had planned a day trip to Georgia. My daughter was sick most of last week and we kept going back and forth about going. Friday, we were still up in the air and she was still not at all well. We ended up cancelling our babysitter and then were trying to figure out how to make it work with my parents and their already overbooked Saturday. Roadblocks. Finally at 3am, after my sweet girl had gotten sick again, we realized that we couldn't go. And boy weren't we glad on Saturday when she continued to be sick almost all day!
What a difference it is to heed the Holy Spirit. When we move against Him, we move against the blessings of Him. He has promised good and perfect gifts to us, when we trust Him and have faith in Him (not us!) He might ask us to do things that seem difficult, don't make sense, make us upset to miss something or sacrifice what we think is going to bring us security…but He does and asks all things for our good.
He is making us perfect.

What is a Half-Halt?
What is a half halt? Is it something that's only good for dressage riders, or is this good for gaited horses too?
Marilyn M.
A half halt is (in brief), when you use your seat, legs and hands to begin to ask for a halt, but then push the horse on while keeping a firm rein, before it actually loses momentum. Firm rein does not mean 'yank and pull.' Half halts help to round the horse up into a more collected frame, and keep its hind end engaged for greater impulsion. It prepares a horse to make a transition (from walk to gait, for example), and can enable the horse to balance well under the rider before going downhill. All in all, it's a very simple, effective riding technique to master, regardless of the type or breed of horse.
Happy trails!
