Become a jack of all trades and a master of one. – David Holmgren, quoting a European Permaculturist
"Jobs" as we know them today -- paychecks from large corporate employers -- are a very recent phenomenon in human history. Within our new understanding of the future economy, this form of earning a living is not too likely to continue.
Even the idea of "green jobs" is deeply flawed. Many of the "green" jobs are completely dependent upon government funding. Most are built upon the presumption of economic growth, and depend on continued societal affluence to get the fledgling "green" industries off the ground. Some so-called "green" industries merely provide green-cast consumption, perpetuating the five-planets-worth-of-consumption which we have told each other is "normal." Other supposedly "green" jobs are in tech-centric industries, dependent upon oil, overseas manufacturing, and continued supply of trace elements, all of which will be difficult to sustain as we move deeper into the post-peak-everything era.
The role of "employee" of a giant facility controlled by corporate executives is part of the fading past. If we are to achieve the Great Redistribution (NEF, Part II), there will be a redistribution of ownership. As we Relocalize and powerdown, making a living is much more likely to be in the role of "proprietor," rather than employee.
Income sources in the future are less likely to look like paychecks and far more likely to look like local businesses, home businesses, or barter businesses. These small businesses are likely to be providing some of the basic, core services that local community members need, such as food, water, basic shelter, basic clothing, low-input forms of health care, and human services such as psychological and spiritual help in coping with this vastly altered course of events. (more on this at #4 in this series) All those Reskilling classes we create within the Transition movement begin to look very different!
Remember that in the not-so-distant past, people thought not in terms of "jobs" but in terms of "trades." A young boy was sent out to apprentice and learn a craft or a trade. Yes, some people did have jobs, but they were nothing like the massive oil-supported corporate structure we see today. People farmed food, people crafted everyday necessary tools, people made clothing, people nursed each other, all done locally. In a post-petroleum world, the globalized corporate structure is doomed. We will be left with a lot more community-level sufficiency. In our March 2009 economics session in Los Angeles, when we asked the audience the types of businesses we would need for greater resilience here in L.A., the list was extensive and inspiring.
Thus more likely possibilities for future livelihoods include small businesses in resilience-building industries, or working for a local businessman within a resilience-building industry. This becomes important not only for "how will I pay the rent" but also when we consider the messages we give our children about educational options and career choices.
Shifting our jobs to more-resilient patterns can be a really tough thing to do. Even if our inner landscape is shifting and we're beginning to grow a few of our own veggies, we still have supermarket grocery bills to cover; we still have rent or mortgage payments. If you are currently employed within a non-resilient industry, perhaps the best for now is to embrace these ideas and prepare for them (after hours education?) even as you continue working the conventional way. Read about the concept of "Two Moving Sidewalks." And appreciate the preciousness of each remaining conventional paycheck.
If you are currently jobless, or are retraining for a future career, you will probably find a more enduring livelihood within the more-resilient industries. Also, within a given industry, some specialties are far better situated for resilience. Health care is a great example: Western allopathic medicine is highly oil-dependent. But many holistic health care modalities use far less inputs, aren't tied to the massive system, and can provide a cornerstone for local care within your community.
Ever feel like you're zipping through the fast-paced hours of your day, the crowded pages of your calendar, like you're on a swiftly moving sidewalk?
Then you learn about alternative lifestyles, other ways of living and pacing one's life. As you learn about the Transition movement, perhaps you get caught up in community events and activities within this other way of viewing life.
It begins to feel like you've hopped off that swiftly moving business-as-usual sidewalk onto a second moving sidewalk -- one that isn't necessarily headed in the same direction as the first one.
This image of two moving sidewalks -- each headed in a different direction -- was posed by Sophy Banks in our Training for Transition in Los Angeles in December 2008. The image has stuck with me, and come back to me many times since.
Sophy counseled us that we will feel for a time like we're hopping back and forth between sidewalks. We hop between mainstream life -- perhaps with a competitive corporate job, perhaps with children to get off to college -- and the new ways of the future: the garden, the chickens, the bicycles, the ways of The Great Turning.
As time goes by, Sophy told us, we'll spend more and more time on the sidewalk that is headed toward the saner future: more and more time in local food production, local economies, community events. We'll find less reason to hop back to the old-paradigm sidewalk. It wasn't headed where we wanted to go anyway.

This post is an excerpt from a longer paper, "Economic Resilience," which is being posted online in serial form. Part I explains the problems, because we have to understand what we are working with in order to begin to solve it. Part II critiques what several economic theorists see as possible routes forward for the "big picture" economy. But the central question of this document is what we can do at the grassroots level. Part III (approximately 70% of the document) offers a panorama of ideas for building local economic resilience. Links to the full document can be found here.

I like the idea
The quotes you printed [May 15: "Transit Center: location irks tranportation advocates"] (http://www.readthehook.com/93483/news-transit-center-location-irks-trans...) give the impression that I am critical of the Transit Center project. I'm not.
In fact, I think the project is very positive. The loss of the connection at Seventh Street is inconvenient, but perhaps one other crossing on the Downtown Mall might be worth studying. This idea is an anathema to some, but the existing crossing has been of some benefit– and certainly not the disaster that was predicted.
A Mall crossing is useful in by providing visibility and access, while providing a boost for businesses and convenience for cross traffic. The 2nd Street crossing seems to work fine, and another one might keep some needed connectivity, while providing benefit to East Mall businesses.
I commend the City for engaging a design team to produce a thoughtful urban plan, and for gaining concensus the via public meetings and presentations. The expanded Mall and new amphitheater will certainly be positive. I look forward to conveniently arriving and departing downtown in style at a smart new transit hub.

I have a fondness for Robert Ward, the first living composer I'd ever seen up close. I attended the Cleveland première of his opera The Crucible as, I think, a high-school student. Cleveland, of course, is hardly one of the operatic capitals (or even county seats) of the world, so it really was an event as well as somewhat quixotic of Ward to trust the première of his work to operatic part-timers. I thought the première a lovely gesture to his home town.
At one point, Ward had a thriving career as a post-Copland/Eastman School composer, but his music has just about dropped out of sight, as has Peter Mennin's, the latter once considered a fine symphonist. After careers of high-profile, first-rank commissions, both Ward and Mennin have been consigned to small, enterprising labels and regional orchestras. What happened, of course, was the rise of post-Webernian serialism as The Only Music of Our Time (accept no substitutes). Since new music gets commissioned largely for reasons of prestige, the "old hat" is shunned, and, of course, Ward didn't help himself by setting down career roots in North Carolina in bi-coastal terms, the boonies. However, fashion's winds may be blowing more eclectically nowadays. Barber and Bernstein seem to have been resurrected, with recordings of major works from major artists. Gerard Schwarz's series of American music on Delos seems to have made a dent in the classical market's buying consciousness. Perhaps the same will happen to Ward and others.
In my opinion, it turns out that Ward's Crucible crowned his career not only for its prestige - among other things, it won the Pulitzer - but also for its musical quality. Works written after the opera do not regain the intensity of either that work or those before it. What is Ward's music like, at its best? I listen to it and the phrase "very Eastman" comes to mind, but if you don't know the composers of the Eastman School, this description will mean very little. To me, Ward's music combines the Romantic lyricism of Hanson and Bernard Rogers with a dash of Prokofieff harmony and "folk" Copland for spice. I don't find him as interesting in his lyrical moments as I do his rhythmic ones. His andantes tend to put me to sleep, in fact, although I generally wake right up for his allegros.
Most of the music on these CDs comes from the late 1960s through the late 1980s, although there's enough early and middle Ward to provide an instructive contrast. The Ward of the Prairie Overture and the Fantasia for Brass Choir and Timpani has an edge that the later Ward couldn't afford to lose and unfortunately did, becoming genteel as a result. The small lyric gift became bland. The rhythmic drive practically disappeared. A great performance from committed musicians appears to be the only way the later music will work.
The Keystone Wind Ensemble does no more than an adequate job. As primarily a student ensemble (Indiana University of Pennsylvania), they don't really rise above it. A group of professionals would blow them away. They do better in the rhythmic music, like Prairie Overture (here receiving I believe its first recording in its original band version) and Antiphony for Winds. Nevertheless, the rhythm isn't as sharp as it could be; players often attack tentatively. Furthermore, they don't commit with full emotion to Ward's "Big Tunes." This hesitance may very well come down to a matter of interpretation. So many of these performances, particularly that of the Saxophone Concerto, seem limp and shapeless, which indicates problems with the director, Jack Stamp.
I should mention that the concerto comes in an arrangement - not by Ward - for wind ensemble. I also have the original version of the piece (Albany AR001), and I must say I prefer its greater instrumental contrasts and clearer, more delicate textures, although the work itself, amiable enough, fails to make much of an impression. The sax writing, traceable to the Debussy Rhapsody, fades into the wallpaper when you start thinking of what even a second-tier jazz player does with the instrument, but perhaps it's just as well that Ward didn't attempt jazz. The lyric theme of the second movement, a beguine, had its origins in a Ward try at a pop tune. It comes off like a nightclub scene in a Forties "B" musical (Cesar Romero or George Murphy plays the bandleader). Cole Porter he ain't. Yet even here the work's success, or lack of it, largely comes down to a matter of building the performance. On the Albany CD, the beguine seems less blatant, even poetic. The same soloist, Houlik, gets close to haunting you, but then he has the support of better musicians. Nevertheless, even in a clearly superior performance, the piece itself begins to take a diffident leave from your mind, just as soon as it ends.
The Violin Concerto begins gorgeously, with a sequence of unusual chord progressions, but the first movement, like the Glass violin concerto, turns out to be longer on atmosphere than on ideas. The second movement, "Blues," again tries to evoke jazz - again, the white dance music of the Forties. It succeeds better than the Saxophone Concerto, rising to the level of, say, Franz Waxman's score to The Philadelphia Story. The third movement has interesting moments which flare and die, but the concerto still adds up to mighty little. Its lack of ambition bothers me more than anything. Its successful moments recall the music Ward wrote in the 1940s, and in exactly the same terms. The music is expert and little more. I'd say the same for the ballet suite The Scarlet Letter. I'll take Ward's word that the Hawthorne novel provided the impetus, but musically and dramatically the "nice-guyness" of most of this music stands leagues away from the grim anger not only of the Hawthorne, but of Hanson's Merry Mount and Ward's own Crucible. The only apparent reason for this music is the commission. The performances by violinist Sarah Johnson and conductor Peter Perret are professional, but, as I've indicated, don't represent the composer's case, such as it is, with sufficient advocacy.

The Lake Forest College football team defeated host Lawrence University 56-38 on Saturday. Forester junior quarterback Pete Scaffidi tied his own team record with five touchdown passes in the contest and he also set the single-season mark in just the seventh game of the year.
Scaffidi completed 17 of 29 passes for a career-high 367 yardsin the contest. He is now just eight completions and 207 passing yards shy of the program records in those categories. He also scored his fourth rushing touchdown of the season.
A team record-tying three of Scaffidi's touchdown passes went to senior wide receiver Kevin Davis, who caught five passes for 152 yards on Saturday. His 10 touchdown receptions on the season are just two shy of the program record and his 946 receiving yards are 56 away from the mark. Junior wideout Austin Sobey hauled in five passes for 80 yards and his ninth touchdown of the year and classmate Rocky Al-Mutawa also caught a touchdown pass.
The Foresters' running game was also effective, amassing a season-high 239 yards. Junior tailback Al Mitchell set career-highs with 27 carries and 127 yards and scored his fifth touchdown of the year. Sophomore Alec Howe's 14 carries and 81 yards were also career-highs and he scored his first career touchdown.
Lawrence was forced to punt on its first two possessions while the Foresters scored on a 54-yard pass to Davis and a 15-yarder to Sobey. The Vikings got on the scoreboard on a 5-yard run and the score was 14-7 at the end of the first quarter.
Both teams scored twice in the second quarter, the Foresters on a 25-yard run by Mitchell and a 27-yard pass to Davis. Lawrence reached the end zone on an 18-yard pass and added a 40-yard field goal, making the score 28-17 at halftime.
Lake Forest started the second half with a 13-play, 71-yard drive that ended with an 18-yard touchdown pass to Mutawa. Lawrence also scored a touchdown on its first drive of the period and attempted an onside kick but failed to recover. Scaffidi finished off the short drive with a 1-yard touchdown run. Forester sophomore Tanner Daugherty recorded his first career interception on the Vikings' next possession and, four plays later, Scaffidi connected with Davis for a 36-yard score that gave the visitors a 49-24 advantage after three quarters.
A 1-yard touchdown by Howe gave Lake Forest 56 points, the team's highest single-game total since a 56-32 victory over Lawrence in 1999. The Vikings finished off the scoring on Saturday with a pair of touchdown passes.
The Foresters' 257 points in seven games this season are already the third-highest total in team history, trailing only the 269 points the 1999 squad scored in 10 games and the 273 posted by the 2002 Midwest Conference championship team in 11 contests.
Lake Forest will look to surpass those marks next Saturday at Knox College. The game will begin at 1:00 p.m.

Government efforts to rein in Hong Kong's soaring housing market appearing to be showing results.
Home prices in the city fell last week, according to the Centa-City Leading Index, marking the first week-on-week easing after eight straight weeks of gains.
The index showed prices cooling an average 0.55% from a week earlier, paring the-year-to-date price gain to 21.7%.
Nomura analysts said the price cooling is the first sign that government efforts to curb soaring real estate prices are beginning to have a meaningful impact.
The Hong Kong government announced on Oct. 26 it would increase a levy on home sales transactions and impose a 15% buyers tax on purchases by non-residents and corporate entities. The Buyers Stamp Duty, as the levy on purchases by non-permanent residents is known, was seen as necessary to help curb foreign cash flooding into the city's real estate market.
Last week's sales data mark the fourth week since the new taxes took effect.
Convincing signs of a cooling were also seen in dwindling transaction volumes. Homes sales were down 50% from the same week a year earlier, according to data by Midland Realty on previously-occupied homes.
In a further sign that housing prices have come off the boil, Nomura pointed out that real estate developers appear more focused recently on selling car spaces, an area unaffected by the residency tax.
Cheung Kong Holdings , controlled by local billionaire Li Ka-shing, sold 90 car spaces at one project a few weeks back, and sold an additional 514 at another real estate project this past weekend.

True intimacy has its nasty side. You end up living with an entire person's lint, crud, toenail clippings, rhinovirus colonies, dirty socks, hairs on the bar of soap, and even (gasp) dirty dishes left in the sink to fester. Exposure to the unairbrushed, unfiltered, the vile and the slimy: that's true love.
Related Content
Intimacy is letting someone else see you without makeup. Without pretense. It's letting someone into your private moments and into your personal space. The phrase 'warts and all' springs to mind. But there's a certain magic in all of that lint and dandruff and morning breath. When you honestly love someone, even their belly button lint can be beautiful.
How sick is that? Wonderfully sick.

A wonderful thing that NYC provides for any foodie, is that you can get great food even late. I must apologize for the lower quality of photos or lack thereof (Meatball Shop) but this is what happens at 2am in the morning, with a few too many cocktails!
First stop of the night was at the Meatball Shop. We walked in at around 1am and got seated very promptly. Unfortunately I did not come with my camera (was not expecting to make a stop here) and my phone was on critical battery aka no camera. We proceeded to order a couple of drinks and two sliders: one beef meatball with tomato sauce and the lamb meatball with tzatziki. Both were really well executed, the lamb being the favourite of the two. I prefer the meatball parm at PARM but that is a totally different animal.
We then headed to get take out from GR Souvlaki, which just opened up shop in the LES after having much success with their food truck. We ordered the tzatkiki with pita bread, the greek salad and the SGR chicken souvlaki pita. The tzatiki was good but not the best I have ever had. The greek salad was fresh, well seasoned and dressed. The SGR Souvlaki consisted of chicken souvlaki, tomato, red onion, fries and the spicy feta dip and it was very tasty but unexpectedly very small in size.
Next we stopped on Clinton, one block away from our apartment at Cibao Restaurant. Known for their cuban food, I had a recommendation from a chowhounder to order the Cubano sandwich. The pork was ever so slightly dry but the sandwich was delicious nonetheless. Great bread with pork, ham, swiss cheese, pickle and mayo and a total steal at $5.00 for a hefty sandwich.
Last pick up stop was at Nonna's L.E.S. Pizzeria directly across the street from us. Nonna's Magic Slice would have been our first choice but with no availability, we opted for the fresh cheese slice. It was very tasty, greasy and cheesy. Probably not the most refined slice in NYC but good enough to satisfy my pizza craving at 3am.

Zhang Yue, one of China's best-known business leaders and an advocate of sustainable building practices, will deliver a lecture titled "A Sustainable Building Revolution: Chinese-Style" at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 24, in the Friend Center Convocation Room.
Zhang is the chairman of Broad Air Conditioning and vice chair of the United Nations Environment Program's Sustainable Buildngs and Climate Initiative. In his role with the U.N. initiative, he drafted a proposal earlier this year for indicators and measurements to create a standard for building energy efficiency.
Zhang will show a short movie about the sustainable building that was erected at the Broad corporate campus in Changsha, Hunan Province. He also will speak on the fundamental principles of energy-efficient buildings, the economic and environmental value of non-electric air conditioning, his U.N. work and his vision of creating a sustainable building revolution.
The event is sponsored by the Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations and the Keller Center for Innovation in Engineering Education.Here is an article by James Fallows from the Atlantic magazine talking

MILTON — Milton Elementary School recently named Jack McLaughlin their February Star Student.
Jack McLaughlin entered Ms. Doane's fourth grade class this past fall having experienced several different types of education. Last year Jack was home-schooled. The year before, he was a student at the Maple Street School in Rochester.
While weighing the two schools, Jack noted that Maple Street has a smaller student population and fewer grades there. He notes that he likes Milton much more.
"You don't have to leave school right away," he said (presumably can be comfortable in familiar surroundings).
He is just as thoughtful when considering the pros and cons of homeschool vs. M.E.S., noting that while he must rise much earlier in the morning, he likes having more people available with whom to play and study.
Jack does have a younger brother, Sam, who was also home-schooled. Sam is currently in Mr Lewis' second grade. While Jack gets along well with Sam, like all siblings, they sometimes fight. Jack also has a cat, Tiger, who is the "fattest cat ever" and "so lazy." At home, there are no friends, "which gets boring fast." All in all, his days in Milton Elementary are more fun.
Jack's favorite classes are math and science. Jack is also an avid reader, accumulating 73 A.R.(accelerated reader) reading points. He is currently reading the Jaguar Stones series (which is about a boy named Max whose adventures lead him to explore the Myan culture and mythology). Jack also enjoys anything written by Andrew Clements. His dad had started reading the Harry Potter series and now Jack is in the middle of the first book on his own.
When not reading, Jack likes to be outdoors. The most recent snowfall has allowed him to sled in his driveway at home and also at school. This year Jack is in the Milton Elementary ski program. He has really enjoyed that. If Jack had his way, he would be able to swim year round, however. Jack's grandmother lives by the lake where he swims off the dock there or goes out on his uncle's boat. He also likes to ride his scooter in warm weather.
Jack also likes to get on the computer and watch TV. He loves "Mad TV" on Cartoon Network. Jack will also stop for his mom's shepherd's pie, which is the best out there.
Jack would like to be known as a cool kid, funny and a good friend. His friend Will Miller would hopefully agree.

Bitcoin Mining Software Android for Dummies
The usage of bitcoin by criminals has attracted the attention of financial regulators, legislative bodies, law enforcement, and the media.223 In the United States, the FBI prepared an intelligence assessment,224 that the SEC issued a pointed warning about investment schemes using virtual currencies,223 and the U.S. Senate held a hearing on virtual currencies in November 2013.225 The U.S.
Several news outlets have asserted that the popularity of bitcoins hinges on the capacity to use them to buy illegal products.132227 Nobel-prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz says that bitcoin's anonymity encourages money laundering and other crimes,"If you open up a pit such as bitcoin, then all the nefarious activity will go through that gap, and no government can allow that." He's also stated that if"you govern it so you couldnt engage in money laundering and all these other offenses, there will be no demand for Bitcoin.
It is because of the abuses. "228229.

In Charles Stross' 2013 science fiction novel, Neptune's Brood, the universal interstellar payment process is known as"bitcoin" and operates using cryptography.238 Stross later blogged that the reference had been intentional, saying"I wrote Neptune's Brood in 2011. Bitcoin was vague back then, and I figured had just enough name recognition for a useful term for an interstellar currency: it'd clue people in it was a networked digital currency. "239.
The 2014 documentary The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin portrays the diversity of motives behind the usage of bitcoin by interviewing individuals who use it. These include a computer programmer and also a drug dealer.240 The 2016 documentary Banking on Bitcoin is an introduction to the beginnings of bitcoin and the ideas behind cryptocurrency now.241.

Liturgy is intended to be a major focus on the Year of Faith:
9. We want this Year to arouse in every believer the aspiration to profess the faith in fullness and with renewed conviction, with confidence and hope. It will also be a good opportunity to intensify the celebration of the faith in the liturgy, especially in the Eucharist, which is "the summit towards which the activity of the Church is directed; … and also the source from which all its power flows."[Sacrosanctum Concilium 10] At the same time, we make it our prayer that believers' witness of life may grow in credibility. To rediscover the content of the faith that is professed, celebrated, lived and prayed,[Cf. Fidei Depositum 116] and to reflect on the act of faith, is a task that every believer must make (her or) his own, especially in the course of this Year.
Not without reason, Christians in the early centuries were required to learn the creed from memory. It served them as a daily prayer not to forget the commitment they had undertaken in baptism. With words rich in meaning, Saint Augustine speaks of this in a homily on the redditio symboli, the handing over of the creed: "the symbol of the holy mystery that you have all received together and that today you have recited one by one, are the words on which the faith of Mother Church is firmly built above the stable foundation that is Christ the Lord. You have received it and recited it, but in your minds and hearts you must keep it ever present, you must repeat it in your beds, recall it in the public squares and not forget it during meals: even when your body is asleep, you must watch over it with your hearts."[Sermo 215:1]
The presentation of the Creed is an important minor rite in RCIA. Remember, the Church prefers to celebrate this rite publicly (RCIA 157). There are many suggestions afloat for the Year of Faith, but one I have not seen is the making of the Presentation of the Creed (during the first week of Lent) into an event with a higher profile. Even for a parish without catechumens, the ritual Mass for the presentation of the Creed might be a possible celebration to consider.
Here is the prayer over the Elect after the presentation of the Creed:
Lord, eternal source of light, justice, and truth,
take under your tender care
your servants N and N.
Purify them and make them holy;
give them true knowledge, sure hope, and sound understanding,
and make them worthy
to receive the grace of baptism.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Slightly adapted, this would be an apt prayer for any gathering of believers.

New-Crop Corn Falls to 2010 Lows
Cooler temperatures put a damper on corn prices.
This was not a good week to be a corn producer, at least not when it comes to prices. December corn set new contract lows on both Tuesday and Wednesday, and the price declines are likely to continue for until the harvest lows are hit.
"From a technical standpoint the market is clearly in a downtrend," says Adam Stout, risk management consultant with INTL FCStone, Kansas City. "Traditionally the corn market bottoms out prior to harvest."
Improving weather conditions were the main driver that sent December corn prices to lows not seen since November 2010.
"The bull is running out of time," says Jerrod Kitt, director of research with the Linn Group, Chicago. He expects lows to hit over the next two weeks on corn as the weather premium is removed from the market.
Cooler Temps Cool Prices
Temperatures across the Corn Belt fell have plunged just in time for pollination. As of July 21, less than half of the nation's corn was silking. This week and next week will be critical periods for the corn crop, and weather forecasts, for the most part, are calling for moderate temperatures.
"Even though it has been dry, temperatures have been so moderate that there is not as much concern over the lack of precipitation," says Stout.
Heading for Record Yields
While harvest in the heart of the Corn Belt is still several weeks away, new-crop corn from Texas and the Southeast has started to hit the market. By mid-August corn producers should be harvesting in Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky, with Missouri and Illinois harvest getting under way in early September.
"We would not be surprised to see record yields in the eastern Corn Belt," says Kit. That would mean corn yields above 180 bushels per acre in Illinois, 171 bushels in Indiana, and 174 bushels in Ohio. "We could easily eclipse those levels," he adds.
Longer term, the question is how low can corn prices go, particularly if the 2014 harvest is large
If this year's corn crop is as large as expected and the carryout builds to 1.4 billion bushels, Stout does not rule out corn prices below $4/bu. in the 2014-15 marketing year.
"Land prices have seen their best days," Stout adds.

Last week I was lucky enough to get to attend the PUMA launch of the Basket Heart down in Shoreditch LDN! I also got a pair of the Basket Hearts, which I was happy about because they sold out pretty quickly on the size? website. There was food and drink, a nail bar, and also a hair braiding station (but I chose to pass on that one and I'm having regrets as who knows if I would've looked cute with braids).
The actual trainers you'll see come with ribbon laces. I personally wouldn't say I am much of a er ribbon kinda gal, but they're actually a v cute touch and they're certainly eye-catching. They're also really comfy, but they do squeak a little because of the patent leather.

Brazil is known for its exotic fauna, but the creatures on display Sunday night for the opening round of Rio's exuberant Carnival parade were a motley crew even by local standards.
Full grown adults dressed up as Nemo the fish rubbed shoulders with weightlifting wolves with enviable six-packs, while bare-breasted dancers gyrated atop floats shaped like giant crustaceans or bedecked with XXL ants.
The Carnival competition sees the city's top samba groups, or schools, parade in the Sambadrome, each delivering an over-the-top, hour-long display aimed at capturing the annual title.
No excess is deemed too much, and each year the bar is raised that much higher. Sunday's all-night-long displays saw a float shaped like a mammoth wedding cake presided over by a larger-than-life Pope Francis, a herd of elderly gentlemen in jewel-toned bull costumes complete with sequin-covered horns, and a dancing teepee surrounded by native Brazilians in green feather headdresses.
Though each school ostensibly has a theme, the costumes are often so varied and sometimes unidentifiable that it can be hard to identify the common thread.
Imperio da Tijuca, the school that opened this year's competition, was ostensibly fielding an African theme, so its huge crab-shaped float was a perplexing choice. Mangueira, one of the most famous schools known for its distinctive green and pink colors, turned to Carnival itself for a parade that feted Brazil's traditional celebrations in a sea of salmon pink and lime green feathers.
Each school has legions of loyal followers, many of whom parade for the same group for decades or root for their favorite from the bleachers.
"I paraded for 15 years for one school," said Jose Vieira, a retired restaurateur who was soaking in the action from one of the exclusive areas sponsored by top Brazilian companies where the elite gather to drink free beer and watch the parade from above. "It's a wonderful experience. Even from up here in this nice space, I really miss being down there."
Each samba school is judged in 10 categories, from the quality of the drum sections to the beauty of the costumes. Whichever group comes in last falls from the top-tier competition into a lower category contest. The competition continues Monday night with displays by six additional schools.
Rio's Carnival celebrations aren't limited to the Sambadrome, where even a ticket for the bleachers can cost hundreds of dollars. The city is also the site of nearly 500 raucous, beer-fueled street parties that begin at daybreak and pulse through the night.

The Most Underused Compiler Switches in Visual C++, March 11, 2014 Microsoft's Visual C++ team explains the nine most underused switches and why you should make sure to include them in your build.
/LTCG:PGI and /LTCG:PGO
These are linker switches that enable "Profile Guided Optimization," also known as PGO or POGO.
PGO is a runtime compiler optimization that leverages profile data collected from running important or performance-centric user scenarios to build an optimized version of the application. PGO optimizations have some significant advantage over traditional static optimizations as they are based upon how the application is likely to perform in a production environment. This allows optimization for speed on hotter code paths (common user scenarios) and optimization for size on colder code paths (not so common user scenarios), which results in generating both faster and smaller code for the application and significant performance gains.
Additional Comments:
If you care about the runtime performance of your application, you should try out these switches. PGO is the ultimate, highest order of compiler optimization and provides solid gains (CPU, refset, working set, you name it!) for many applications. Browsers (Firefox, Opera, Chrome), compilers and libraries (PHP, Python), and other major applications are also users of PGO.

Fight against fakes: Commission publishes Annual Report on EU Customs actions to enforce intellectual property rights
In 2009, EU Customs took action in 43,500 cases involving several million products suspected of being counterfeited or pirated at the external borders of the EU. This is according to the Commission's annual report on EU Customs Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), which was published today. Cigarettes, clothing and brand labels were among the main articles stopped by customs on suspicion of IPR infringements. However, products for daily use and posing a potential danger to citizens' health, such as shampoos, toothpaste, toys, medicines or household appliances, also accounted for a significant part. Today's report gives statistics on the type, origin and transport method of IPR infringing products stopped at the external borders.
Algirdas Šemeta, Commissioner for Taxation, Customs, Anti-fraud and Audit said: "The role of EU Customs is to protect our citizens and businesses. Fake products can pose a serious health and safety risk for consumers and cheat legitimate businesses. The Commission and Member States will continue to work with international trading partners and industry to ensure the highest level of protection for intellectual property rights in the EU."
Main findings of the Report
The Report shows an upward trend in the number of goods suspected of violating intellectual property rights. In 2009, over 43,500 cases of such goods were stopped by customs, totalling 118 million articles. The report notes that, while in the past luxury goods were the most hit by IPR infringements, more and more items used by citizens in their daily lives are now affected. Of the top categories detained, cigarettes accounted for 19%, other tobacco products 16%, labels 13% and medicines 10%. China continued to be the main source of IPR infringing products, totalling 64% of the total of IPR infringing articles while other countries such as United Arab Emirates and Egypt accounted for the majority in certain product categories. More than 77% of all detained products were destroyed or a court case was initiated to determine the infringement.
The importance of protecting Intellectual Property Rights
As the EU's 2020 Strategy underlines, the protection of IPR is key in promoting research, innovation and job creation in Europe. Effective IPR enforcement is also an essential part of protecting the health and safety of EU citizens, because certain counterfeited products (such as foodstuffs, body-care articles and children's items) which are produced in an unregulated environment can pose a serious threat.
The role of EU Customs
EU Customs play a crucial role in stopping products which violate intellectual property rights from entering the Internal Market. A number of actions are being carried out by the Commission to strengthen Customs' ability to combat such trade. The Commission is working towards a proposal to improve the current legislation on customs actions against IPR infringing goods and simplify current procedures. It carried out an extensive review of the existing legislation with Member States and launched a public consultation which ended on 7 June 2010. On this basis, the Commission intends to come forward with a legislative proposal by the end of the year. Good cooperation with international trading partners can significantly help in preventing and detecting IPR infringing goods from being exported to the EU. In 2009, the EU signed an Action Plan with China specifically focussed on enhancing cooperation in IPR customs enforcement, which it plans to extend in the coming months until the end of 2012 (see IP/09/193). Commissioner Šemeta will personally discuss ways to ensure IPR protection with his Chinese counterparts when he visits Shanghai in September. Cooperation with industry is also extremely important in ensuring that goods which violate IPR can be properly identified. Businesses can request specific customs actions where they suspect that their intellectual property rights are being violated, and the information provided by industry helps Customs to better target their controls. The Commission has established a manual for right holders, to help them to lodge such requests, and remains in close contact with the private sector to see where further improvements in controls could be made.

Get Vendio Gallery - Now FREE! Flower Tile 36 x 25ft Home Window Vinyl Film Privacy Glass Decor Decal VViViD. Get professional looking results without paying for the professionals! NEW Vvivid Vinyl Frosted Window Films offer long-lasting, easy-to-install and affordable means of adding style and security to your home or office. Our vinyl window films offer privacy without reducing natural light, all the while being scratch and grime resistant.Enjoy the added touch of safety and style for up to 10 years in your home or office. For installation instructions, either download our PDF or check the images for our free guide.
This film looks exactly like genuine frosted glass. It's the perfect solution for changing the look of your office, or for providing privacy in your bathroom, shower, or any room with windows. Easy to apply, and a fraction of the price of actual frosted glass. Every material VViViD Vinyl offers is a professional cast material.Cast vinyl is stable when applied to a surface. It harbours no tension, whereas calendared vinyl harbours up to 25%. Calendared vinyl is made by processing a mass of vinyl through rollers and stretching it over hundreds of feet. Therefore when applied to a curved surface such as a car, calendared vinyl will shrink back causing curling and other issues. In contrast, VViViD cast vinyl starts off as a liquid and is poured onto a sheet and baked. This means the cast was never stretched to begin with and will stay in place for the life of the vinyl. When cast vinyl is accidentally creased or stretched, you can heat it and it will return to its original form without creases or stretch marks.
Pro-calendared offers the same advantage. It has been heated/treated and pre-stretched allowing for a cast-like application.

Week 16 ...
... hope it's different than Week 15. Too much unpredictability, too many blowouts.
OK, somebody is bitter because he went 8-8 on his picks.
Don't misunderstand: A blowout is fun here and there, especially with all of the parity and close shaves permeating the league. But so many of Week 16's contests felt like dry shaves: Bucs 0, Saints 41 ... Giants 0, Falcons 34 ... Seahawks 50, Bills 17 ... Panthers 31, Chargers 7 ... Lions 10, Cardinals 38 ... and so on.
All of these odd thrashings wreaked havoc on the NFL.com Power Rankings ...
Only paid "broadcasters" could mess up the power rankings this badly. @nfl @espn @harrison_nflâ Luke Reed (@LukeReed77) December 18, 2012
Yeah, Luke. But at least I made up for it by screwing up the picks, too. Stay consistent, stay classy.
Before you get into the games below and start formulating arguments (send 'em to @Harrison_NFL, and I'll hit you back), you might notice that I once again showed faith in the Giants turning it on. It was at precisely this time last year that New York started ballin', kick-starting a six-game win streak in Week 16 that culminated with a win in Super Bowl XLVI.
Giants-Ravens might have been the toughest call of the weekend, by the way. As for the rest ...
Elliot Harrison went 8-8 on his predictions for Week 15, giving him a 118-57-1 record since taking over this space in Week 4. How will he fare in Week 16? His picks are below, with home teams listed second:
This Saturday night matchup would seem to be what's known in the football vernacular as a "trap game" for the Atlanta Falcons. I don't see it that way. The Detroit Lions aren't doing the little things well, i.e., stuff that doesn't show up in the stats column: special teams, intangibles, etc. What's one surefire way to decipher when that's occurring with a football team? When that team loses a game 38-10 despite only allowing 196 yards to the opposition. Try reading that again. (How is that even possible?) The Falcons don't turn over the football much and they sure as heck don't give penalty freebies. Atlanta gets to 13-2 this week, everybody. #ATLvsDET
Carson Palmer will get his garbage yards, but it's hard to trust the Oakland Raiders' offense on the road against a hot Carolina Panthers club that's won three of four. The Panthers' average margin of victory in those wins is 14 points. Carolina has been hot, yes, but Cam Newton has been redonkulous. On fire. En fuego. Last five games: Thirteen total touchdowns, zero turnovers. #OAKvsCAR
This has the makings of a shootout. Yes, I know the New Orleans Saints just pitched a shutout against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Get that image out of your head. Now. Tony Romo has been playing at a much higher level than Josh Freeman. Not to mention, this game is not in New Orleans. (Alright, I just mentioned that.) The Saints' pass rush is not a team strength, so they won't be able to capitalize on the Dallas Cowboys' biggest weakness: the offensive line. I do anticipate Drew Brees exposing Dallas' inside linebackers in coverage against backs and tight end Jimmy Graham. Thus, this will be a high-scoring game. #NOvsDAL
The Tennessee Titans must get a career-building game from Jake Locker; the kind of performance where he shows everyone why he went eighth overall in the 2011 NFL Draft. I'm talkin' about an outing in which he makes plays with his legs and his arm. Pinpoint passing, please. As much as Packers head coach Mike McCarthy has been employing the run lately, it's hard to imagine Green Bay providing the suddenly opportunistic Titans with many extra offensive possessions. Basically, Mark Sanchez doesn't live here, man. #TENvsGB
OK, to get some NFL history accounting out of the way, here's your Adrian Peterson prognostication: 128 rushing yards and a touchdown. That will leave Peterson 165 yards shy of Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record with one game to go. Peterson will add 28 through the air, joining a host of other Minnesota Vikings pass catchers who won't surpass 50 yards receiving -- the line of demarcation for mediocrity at wideout. Vikings' drives will stall in the red zone, giving Blair Walsh opportunities, but ultimately leading to postseason dreams fading in Houston. Look for Matt Schaub to have a nice day throwing the ball, though I expect his attempts to hover around 30 (tops). #MINvsHOU
Not sure why, but I can't see Chad Henne staking the Jacksonville Jaguars to a 31-3 lead, a la Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday night. When teams like the Jags -- who have virtually no pass rush -- face an up-tempo offense like Tom Brady's New England Patriots, it usually spells doom. The no-huddle attack makes pass rushers' legs very rubbery, and these guys have trouble getting to the quarterback as is (15 sacks, dead last in the NFL). Cecil Shorts will score a touchdown on a Pats secondary that allows the most big plays in the league. Mark it down. Too bad Shorts' heroics will be three touchdowns, uh, short. #NEvsJAC
Andrew Luck versus ... Brady Quinn? We've been told it will be Quinn, not Ricky Stanzi. So, since we know it's Quinn, the final score will be 26-14, Colts -- instead of 26-7. Vick Ballard should be a quality play in fantasy, and should provide his real team with a lift, too, given that Luck leads the NFL in turnovers and the Colts don't have to be one-dimensional against a suspect Kansas City Chiefs defense. After Ballard's 105-yard effort in Houston, there's no reason he shan't get 20 carries this weekend. Shan't = oldenglishcontractionfor Chiefsrundefensesucks #INDvsKC
I thought about picking the Buffalo Bills, especially considering how they dominated the Miami Dolphins a little over a month ago on Thursday Night Football. The issue here is that Miami is still competing for a playoff berth, while most of the Bills seemed content sleepwalking through last week's 33-point loss to the Seattle Seahawks. If Miami's front seven does a better job containing C.J. Spiller than they did in the first meeting, this should be the home team's game. #BUFvsMIA
Believe it or not, Philip Rivers has only tossed one pick in the last four games. Unfortunately, he's lost three fumbles over the same span. He has 22 turnovers in 2012, and against a tough New York Jets defense in a potentially windy stadium ... I wouldn't trust Rivers. The San Diego Chargers will have no Ryan Mathews, which is to say they will have no running game -- kind of like when Mathews was healthy. San Diego is mustering just 93 yards per game on the ground ( 27th in the NFL), while averaging an awful 3.7 yards per carry. The way to exploit the Jets is by running the football. That's not happening with the Bolts in town. Greg McElroy is. #getexcited #SDvsNYJ
The Washington Redskins stay relevant in the NFC East race, or better yet, stay atop the division by beating the downtrodden Philadelphia Eagles. Redskins fans are going to hate me for picking their team, as the reverse jinx had been working well: I kept picking against the Redskins, they kept winning. On the other side of the ledger, LeSean McCoy is expected to get the start at tailback, but he'll have a reduced workload. Translated: McCoy will get two carries, down from his customary five. Seriously, Eagles fans, what kind of chance will McCoy get to carry his team to victory? Would love your thoughts on the particular matter -- @Harrison_NFL is the go-to. #WASvsPHI
Andy Dalton would have to raise his game -- specifically his pocket awareness -- to deliver a road win for this Cincinnati Bengals team, something that would put Cincy in position to play for the AFC North in Week 17. Getting BenJarvus Green-Ellis going will be huge. The Bengals were not able to accomplish this in the first meeting between these two. Cincinnati managed just 80 rushing yards as a team, putting the game on Dalton's shoulders and ultimately losing, 24-17. Meanwhile, Jonathan Dwyer stung Marvin Lewis' defense for 122 yards on 17 carries. Ditto Heath Miller, who had six catches and a touchdown. I think Miller burns the Bengals' safeties for another score, giving him nine touchdowns in what has been a career year. #CINvsPIT
Sam Bradford has an opportunity to make something of his third season in the NFL over the next two weeks and secure his status as the St. Louis Rams' starting quarterback of the future. In Week 17, he gets a chance to prove his mettle against one of the best defenses in the NFL (Seattle). This week, Bradford should be able to exploit the worst secondary in the NFL, as least statistically speaking (4,517 gross yards and 27 touchdowns). Who knows what happened to Josh Freeman last Sunday in New Orleans, but he left some big plays on that field. The defense did its part by allowing 41 points. Rams win this one on the road to get back to .500. #STLvsTB
Denver Broncos fans are VERY sore at me regarding their team's placement in the NFL.com Power Rankings. My sources inform me that picking them to beat the Cleveland Browns will not assuage the "disrespect" I've shown. Well, here's respect: Jack Del Rio has done an outstanding job as Denver's defensive coordinator. The Broncos force the highest percentage of three-and-out drives in the league, the most negative plays, and are the top defense in the NFL on first down. Cleveland's best hope to beat these guys on their turf would be having Trent Richardson run 25 to 30 times for 150 yards. Unfortunately, the rookie running back hasn't averaged four yards per carry in a game in over a month. #CLEvsDEN
They are who we thought they were. The Arizona Cardinals, that is. Yes, they won 38-10 last week. But they did so with more awful offense. Arizona couldn't crack 200 total yards, yet still won big. This installment of Bears- Cardinals marks the sixth anniversary of the incredible comeback by the Headless Horsemen -- the Rex Grossman Bears -- in Arizona. It also marks the anniversary of the infamous Dennis Green postgame tirade. Legendary. First, Chicago wins this game forcing four turnovers. Second, I spoke with Coach Green (formerly of the Vikings and Cardinals) for 30 minutes the other day about his role as 49ers wide receivers coach from 1986 to 1988. What a cool guy. Go look up Jerry Rice's leap as a player from '85 to '86, and you'll learn something about Green's pedigree. I wonder what he could do with the Cardinals' Michael Floyd. #CHIvsAZ
Perhaps it's my non-East Coast bias, but my sense is that the New York Giants rebound this week on the road in Baltimore. It won't be easy. Eli Manning's inconsistency at this stage of the season is mind-boggling. There is no question the Baltimore Ravens are exposable on the back end of the defense, but if weather conditions and Manning's ineffectiveness are more than just intermittent factors, then New York is done. The running game has been hit or miss, and Ahmad Bradshaw has a knee issue. Meanwhile, Joe Flacco must play better than he did at home last week versus Denver. If he doesn't, the Ravens are done, especially with a defense that's struggled all season and currently sits at 26th in the NFL. #NYGvsBAL
Don't sit Marshawn Lynch in fantasy. He'll get you at least 80 yards rushing. He's a tough matchup for the Niners, and will probably get you a touchdown, too. But he can't tackle Colin Kaepernick. A huge key to this dogfight in the Northwest will be the ability of Seattle's front seven to keep Kaepernick in the pocket. On the other side, Russell Wilson must protect the football. This would be a horrible time for an out-of-character, three-interception mulligan from the rookie quarterback. Remember, Wilson was victimized by several key drops from Seahawks receivers when they played at Candlestick. If they catch the football, this game certainly could go to the club with the sweetest home-field advantage in pro ball. #SFvsSEA

Can someone please explain to me how we are in debt with China? Every weblog, article, journal I read have people in the comments going insane about how we "owe China monies" and "China owns the US" or how the world is being taken over by China!!
From my understanding we sell bonds to the open market (like most countries and businesses) and China is just one country in a laundry-list of countries that buy these bonds. These bonds are also NOT the same as debt right? I just don't know why people say that we "owe too much money to china" What am I missing?
