Here's something I wrote for the Kansas City Star after this year's Lollapalooza; they didn't publish it because it's true and, as we so carefully repeat, truth doesn't do anyone any good.
Notes on Lollapalooza, 1-3 August 2008:
Fear & Loathing in the Unreal City
Since Altamont, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Watergate ground out the last embers of Woodstock's bonfires, any movement of an even moderately "countercultural" or utopian bent is bound to be compared to the wave that peaked in San Francisco and rolled across the Atlantic in the days that may, in some distant time, be looked at as the last in which men-as-giants roamed across the fading pan-American landscape at the heights of their powers (Dylan, the Kennedys, Dr. King, Malcolm, Bobby Seale, and Manson in physical presence; the Panthers, the SDS, and the Weather Underground in marching masses or deep in the subconscious; and Marcuse, Marx, Fellini, Joyce, and Guy Debord in the electrical currents sparking on every streetcorner, in the hundred thousand basements where a hundred thousand Johnnies were mixing up the medicine). To compare that wave to the modern current of popular "indie rock" and its attendant culture, however ideologically impoverished the latter may be even in contrast to what admittedly now appears to have been primarily a gust of bright, necessary naïveté, is a task that to a certain extent completes itself, and the extent to which it doesn't is at least as revealing, for the characters (and "characters" is the word) who are present are those who are tragic not because their potential goes unfulfilled but because, as Frank Zappa said almost 40 years ago, their tragedy is that they have gotten exactly what they wanted.
Perry Farrell is of another generation; properly speaking, he was of another generation even when he was in his own. Born in Queens in 1959, Farrell was nearly 30 by the time Jane's Addiction, a group of musos all significantly younger than him, released its first album and scored a massive hit with "Jane Says," and he served as something of an elder statesman for the Seattle-centric group of alt-rock bands that roared into public consciousness with Nirvana and cohorts. The philosophy behind Farrell's work in and out of the band was a clearly post-hippie, everybody's-groovy-now happy hedonism that, in common with the ideals he was clearly trying to emulate, was predicated on the vague concept of sociopolitical transcendence through indulgence, be it acceptable or transgressive. Farrell's mistake was almost precisely the same as Timothy Leary's before him: he built a vision on the kind of purely self-satisfied action that only a man with money, sycophants, or both could ever hope to sustain, and in precise accord all those below him caught the fallout that could never penetrate his fame or wealth. Leary's onetime followers became failed seekers, alienated acid casualties, or cynical corporate types; Farrell's too have been subsumed into the corporate superstructure but in a new manner befitting their origins. Whether Leary's or Farrell's failures were purely accidental or secretly spied from great distance is a matter that can be of little importance to those who bore the brunt of those failures; history has judged Leary, and if Farrell's 2007 album with the Satellite Party, Ultra Payloaded, is any indication, he remains locked in a preternatural adolescence from which the cruel comedown will no doubt be punishment enough.
That Farrell's newly immobile Lollapalooza should be centered in Chicago is no surprise, for if he is the misguided optimist leading a vanguard of his own children, the Chicago-based Pitchfork Media is this "movement's" Rolling Stone and editor Ryan Schreiber its Jann Wenner. There is no shortage of revolutionaries who have, through time, crises of conscience, and sheer weariness, eventually become part of the conservative establishment they once despised; Jann Wenner is a unique case in that he appears to have been perhaps the only man in American history to pose as a revolutionary in order to fulfill his dream of becoming a used-car salesman, to self-style as a canny flower-child with the penthouse in mind from the word "go." His legacy, such as it is, stands upon his reliance on the public never to investigate his claims of spiritual brotherhood with those whose daring it was his profession and his pleasure to exploit (witness, for example, his self-serving editorial in RS's Hunter S. Thompson memorial issue or the inflated I-was-there-man tone of his interviews in the HST documentary Gonzo—yes, Jann, you were there, but so was Henry Kissinger).
Schreiber's prostitution has been subtler and has taken place at a higher speed, in a manner befitting the generational gap between him and his clear forerunner. Rolling Stone wanted to sell you products to induct you into a lifestyle; Pitchfork needs only to sell you the idea that there is a culture happening somewhere on these arid plains and that you, for having missed it, will be forever stuck in the half-world of those condemned to be strangers to their own zeitgeister ("ghosts of the times" indeed, for these are ghostly times, times at which the spectral world seems as if it could not possibly be more threatening than the "real" one). There is a mythical Brooklyn, or perhaps a mythical Williamsburg, that lives in Schreiber's head, a concentration camp of American Apparel t-shirts and too-tight black jeans, and he and his minions are clearly dedicated to creating its trends and then drawing them sharply away before any of the pathetically eager subjects on which they act have the time to inquire as to whether there was any substance there in the first place. A positive word from Pitchfork can throw nearly any group from anywhere into the highest echelons of college radio play and small (or large) label record sales, and a negative one is the source of a pervasive blacklisting that hearkens back to the Hollywood of the Red Scare; the site has used this considerable power not to cast light in equal and deserved profusion but to mold culture into a disgustingly heterogeneous parody of itself and to do so on a terrifyingly widespread basis in which Henry Ford-style assembly line tactics masquerade under the banners of "tolerance" and "multi-culturalism." And like several well-known spiritual antecedents before him, Schreiber is not above the retrospective editing of history: witness, for example, the sudden hike in Pitchfork's rating of Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, the record that through no fault of its own stands at degree zero for this scene of scenes, this meta-scene.
Paranoid of me, perhaps, but when a major American city temporarily designates a zone in which the moralizing penal code that substitutes public shaming for effective justice will be relaxed—revoked, even, as smuggled booze, pot, LSD, and no doubt a host of other chemical amusements that I didn't glimpse were imbibed without respect to the proximity of security personnel—it's hard for me to avoid recalling the fears of Haight-Ashbury hippies that the San Francisco government was building containment camps for them in the late '60s. These gestures, which look like concessions on the part of the Power, are in fact simple reinforcement of the radical alterity of all things foreign to that Power: a brief reprieve granted to the Other is always-already a means of emphasizing its Otherness, its illegality when the reprieve ends. It is in this sense that, for example, the New Deal perhaps did more to inextricably entwine the idea of American-ness with capitalism than any other recent social program. Certainly the measures Roosevelt enacted were extremely progressive when viewed from one angle, but when he allowed those measures to lapse, the message was clear: These were extraordinary actions called for by extraordinary circumstances, certainly not Ways to Live. Surely you didn't imagine they were permanent?
Effectively compounding the creeping dread is the terrifying spectacle of the Obama Store, a merchandise booth next to the regular food and alcohol vendors selling Barack-centric goods ranging from the traditional and sincere to the hipster-approved ironic. Read that name carefully now: the Obama Store. It's almost refreshing for a serious presidential candidate to make the virtual public admission that the whole gig is a sham, that it's an advertising and marketing enterprise after all and that only the campaigns' architects and financiers get serious votes; one might hope that such an admission would end the charade it unveils, but "Obama '08" t-shirts were in heavy evidence and apparently selling steadily. If Matt Taibbi's brainless, neo-jingoistic, and (of course) well-regarded series of Rolling Stone articles on Obama (not to mention Wenner's fawning interview of him) are to be read as barometers, Lollapalooza was one of many crosscurrents in the groundswell that the confused young Illinois senator will ride all the way to that mansion on the hill. I wonder if even he can recall his actual opinions at this point in the race.
The Kennedy comparisons Obama has garnered are unapt, for they would necessitate an analog between the Eisenhower and Bush administrations, similar enough in terms of omnipresent nuclear terror but less so in the realm of popular approval; and Jimmy Carter's convictions were far too clear for his era to make an appropriate reference point—indeed, in these last 45 years in which we are all kept well aware that any president who rocks the boat too hard can and will be gunned down in plain view, Carter was simply too honest a man to be an effective politician. In fact, Obama's high tide is far more like the one ridden by Reagan, built on promises of renewed national self-esteem and Hallmark sunrises over the stars and stripes, and surely I need say little about that anemic old charlatan, the American counterpart to the befuddled plutocrats and ecclesiastical cowards who handed their nations' skeleton keys to men like—yes, it must be said—Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Francisco Franco. Obama has yet to make a crucial decision: does he want to be a good man, or does he want to be the president? Every November 22, he along with all of us must note the anniversary of the moment that we discovered that, in this social order, one simply cannot be both.
I sit with a handful of sweaty, weary showgoers on a small hill overlooking the vast expanse of grass on the south side of Grant Park that leads to the headliners' stage, the sound of the Bloc Party dying distantly in the unmoving heat. A few feet in front of me, a girl who cannot be older than 15 rises from the grimy crowed, arms herself with a pocket mirror, and begins the meticulous application of eyeliner in between her blinking away of the dust that rises from the nearby footpath. It appears at this juncture that she is the posterchild for the generation that is hers and mine. Even the less obviously self-conscious audience members here seem to have got up everything that is theirs simply for spectacle and the projection of a fragile identity, everything from dancing to facial expressions to clothing to drugs. It is all for the benefit of a jury of our peers. Total Surveillance: fear grows into publicity. We eye with lust the bags of crushed ice on passing trucks.
And yet there was a moment, if only one…Saturday afternoon I walked away from Explosions in the Sky's set on one end of the park bound for Battles on the other and was swallowed by and sunken into wave after wave of young people moving in the opposite direction to the stage I had just left. My first thought was of The Waste Land, Eliot's crowd flowing over London bridge into the Unreal City: "I had not thought death had undone so many." But—and whether it was a genuine intuition or simply the cinematic narcosis of the music which surrounded us, I know not—I looked into as many of their faces as I could catch as they passed and was struck somehow with the knowledge that they were trying. Not succeeding, and perhaps not even trying with intelligence or craft, but trying at least, if nothing else trying.
The second intuition of the festival required no wondering, no equivocation. After Rage Against the Machine's set was (necessarily) interrupted over and over by Zack de la Rocha's pleading with the audience to move back and stop crushing the susceptible front-row members against the steel security railings—pleading that was greeted with indignation and the sentiment that he was "here to entertain us, not to talk"—I stared out over the ruined park littered with beer cups and food wrappers and thought again of Eliot: "Here one can neither stand nor lie nor sit/There is not even silence […] /But dry sterile thunder without rain/There is not even solitude […] /But red sullen faces sneer and snarl." Empty cisterns and exhausted wells.
I followed the dozens of thousands who had just jeered at the request that they take such small pity; followed them out of the park and down Congress in the heart of a massive pack, and suddenly there broke out a yelling and a violent celebration, and the air shook with the palpable shift from individual consciousness into mob rule, from thought into unconsidered herd motion, and it was at that moment that the lens cleared and the veil lifted. All this—the music, the drugs, the trend-chasing, Obama and his new-voter army—all this was simply a means to an end, an excuse to sublimate the individual mind into the bloodlust of the pack, the empty-headed ecstasy of human troubles dissolving into beehive simplicity and collective undulation. The people around me, the people who I call peers and in whom so much crumbling hope is sometimes placed, desired only that dissolution and cared little or none for the way in which it was reached. Any person or entity could have been at the head of that pack issuing any instructions, and those instructions would have been followed: the mere consideration of right and wrong suddenly vanishes into the lethal simplicity of doing what is done by he who stands at your side.
The American Dream now clearly discloses its two sides: on one stands a nation of snake-oil raconteurs, televangelists, and confidence men, and on the other a herd desperate for the narcotic oblivion of blind allegiance. Whatever revolution this generation could muster will be but a tapping on the glass, a kick at the walls of a snow-globe, for we are far too deeply buried to remember the dead legends of an outside world. How do you cheat the dead? By making them fear for the lives that they have already lost.
This is the way the world ends

Page Scandal Goes Beyond Rep. Foley, Requires Full Investigation
Rep. Wasserman Schultz made the following statement regarding the news that Congressional leadership did nothing when a child in the Congressional page program notified officials that they had been solicited by Rep. Foley:
"This goes beyond Rep. Foley, it goes to the values of the Congressional leadership and the fact that when children felt that sexual advances were being made against them by people in positions of authority, the Congressional leadership of this Congress did nothing.
What kind of message does this send to these boys and girls that are in the page program to experience our Congress and our democracy up close? Apparently the message was, if you are a member of Congress then you are above the law, that we will turn a blind eye to accusations of soliciting minors.
These are not family values, these are not American values. We need an investigation into whom in the Congressional leadership, and in the page program, knew that this was going on and why they chose to ignore these children when they asked for help."

Nowadays, whenever I rate people in terms of numbers, instead of going from 1 to 10 (which is almost always a 7 for pretty much everyone ever), I go with a scale of -10 to 10, where 0 is totally neutral, positive numbers are indicators of attractiveness, and negative numbers are indicators of unattractiveness.
I think it's way better than the 1-10 scale.
-10 to 10 all the way!
What say you?
- YES you are correct, the -10 to +10 scale is the best thing since sliced breadVote A
- NUH-UH, the 1-10 scale is way better than some weird ass -10 to +10 unconventional methodologyVote B
- ACTUALLY, number based assessment of one's attractiveness is oversimplified, and no matter the scale, it leaves too many things out of consideration and just overall sillyVote C
- I DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYMOREVote D
- I HONESTLY DON'T CARE WHATSOEVERVote E
- OTHERVote F
Most Helpful Girl
So.. C is the real answer.
People who are ugly or odd looking at first, or in a pic..
Can grow to be attractive to you over time.
but.. maybe you just need to be more realistic with your 1-10.
Most people, are NOT 7's lol00|00|0
I actually added C) because that seems to be the right answer, but rating on a scale of -10 to 10 has its own entertainment value :P
I guess.. but I don't see the point.
Maybe that is because I have rated people on here at 4's and 2's before..
Hell, on a generous day, I give myself a 6
Most Helpful Guy
Negative is good in a way because it would allow zero to indicate you lacking attraction but a negative number to indicate repulsion.
With a 1-10 (or 0-10) scale I'm never sure whether it's meant to be a linear a scale or to have a normal distribution - or something else.
But what about giving multidimensional ratings? Perhaps this vector could represent your appeal: (3, 2 +4i, -6)
Really though we should be using matrices...10|10|0
Thanks for MHG... when was this introduced?

Though I understand as an artist there are things to worry about. Are they serious about this? How can I trust them not screw me over? and other questions.
So I'm here asking the designers of all sorts, what would be the best way for someone wanting collaborate with you. I really would like to help other's out by getting them quality photos. I'm not the best and my learning/style is ever-evolving/continuing.
I'm wanting to know the best way to approach to leave them fully comfortable/informed in making a decision.

Here are a few thoughts from my perspective as a designer.
1) I personally would never send any of my garments to a stylist or photographer who does not have high quality fashion photography images in their portfolio. If the person in question can't pull together a decent shoot from off-the-rack clothing, why would I lend them one-of-a-kind, custom garments that are worth a considerable amount of money? I've seen amazing images styled from only thrifted clothes, paper, or even raw fabric yardage, so I feel that cost really isn't a barrier for an individual who is truly passionate and talented.
2) I am more favorably disposed to stylists who have a Fedex number (or similar account) that I can use to send the pieces. It is a nice gesture.
3) I insist on the package being insured, in both directions. Not everyone requires this but you really need to ask each designer. Neglecting to insure can be seen as disrespectful.
4) As the others have said - I need to know who the model is, who the photographer is, shoot concept, location, MUA - and of course what the purpose is. Is it just testing, is it for an editorial (if so, do you have a pull letter?). Basically, what's in it for me? A poorly written, vague email is a mark of an amateur. If you don't have a good plan, it's unlikely the images will turn out to be usable.

Where they do sing for their supper
Not any more. At Monquhitter Primary in Cuminestown, near Turiff, they are positively belting it out, after just the right amount of hesitation for girlish modesty.
This trio made their debut live on Peterhead-based Waves Radio, after a competition to find the top radio jingles, slogans and dramas to publicise Aberdeenshire school menus on air. The girls set their own lyrics to the recent Mika hit "Lollipop" and the result put them among the four winning primaries who will take turns broadcasting the region's daily school menus on air. The other winners came from Boddam, Fetter-angus and Skene primary schools.
"Rushing out the door on a Monday morning forgot to look at the menu. My Mama told me to buy me a ticket before the lunch bells ring. Yu-um, can't wait, my belly's starting to rumble," sing Caitlin Anderson, Sarah Henderson and Eilidh Campbell.
Music indeed to the ears of Aberdeenshire's catering officer Michael Patilla-Lamb, who is responsible for promoting healthy eating in canteens across the region, serving around 14,000 meals a day. He is a former chef who has worked in some of Scotland's popular restaurants, including the Pierre Victoire chain. So he's well equipped to banish what he describes as old-fashioned stereotypes, such as lumpy custard and cabbage.
"The whole new approach, based on the initiative Hungry for Success, has meant there's a special emphasis on real hand-made foods and foods of a very high standard and good quality. It's also helpful to overturn old stereotypes about school dinners. The main one for us is the 'lumpy custard' approach - custard is not lumpy in Aberdeenshire school dinners, " Mr Patilla-Lamb insists.
"Lumpy custard represents the whole unsavoury, stodgy approach to food provision, whereas in Aberdeenshire it's much more creative and hand-made. We think we can win hearts and minds with it."
And he says items such as hot dogs or chicken burgers will only appear once within the month: "We have eradicated many of what are considered to be convenience-style foods. We have focused on wholesome foods with lots of fresh ingredients, handmade on the day."
As part of the communications strategy, menus are sent home with children, and details about what's on offer are given on the local authority website. The lunchtime queues have been growing during the last three years of Hungry for Success in Aberdeenshire.
Singer Eilidh, 10, pronounces her favourite meal is macaroni cheese, Sarah, 11, picks healthy salads and Caitlin, 12, likes sausage rolls.
And whatever the canteen staff have been doing at Monquhitter Primary, they have also been hitting the right note. Head Peter Wood says attendance at school lunch has rocketed. "We have found that using competitions like this and other health initiatives, our uptake of canteen meals has risen from 28 to around 70 in the last two years."
In a school with 100 pupils, that's an impressive increase and, according to Mr Wood, it's been achieved through a curriculum designed to support a healthy lifestyle. "Just encouraging healthy eating through newsletters, communication, embedding it in the curriculum. Not just along the lines of fruit and vegetables and healthy diets, but also with drinking water and the allocation of two to two-and-a-half hours PE each week," Mr Wood explains.
Fortunately, for the girls, though, there is still room for a little indulgence in Aberdeenshire, and on the way home from the radio recording they were treated to a local favourite - sticky toffee pudding. Yum.

The French Ministry of Finance has issued guidance on the procedure for taxpayers to follow to reclaim wrongly charged social security contributions.
The guidance has been issued following a European Court of Justice ruling in February in Ministre de l'Économie et des Finances v. Gérard de Ruyter. The case concerned a Dutch national who worked for several years in France. During this time, he was subject to French social security contributions on income from real estate despite being a party to the Dutch social security regime.
In previous cases, dating back as far as the year 2000, it was held that taxpayers subject to social security tax regimes in their country of origin should not also face double taxation in another member state through their equivalent regimes. The ruling in the de Ruyter case took this understanding a step further in extending this principle to income from real estate assets.
The guidance notes, released in French on the Finance Ministry's website, will aid those seeking to bring claims against the French Government in cases where they have been subject to French social security charges but are party to another member state's social security regime.
Claims may be made in respect of charges paid from January 1, 2013.
It would have been very useful to have a specific link to the guidance notes on the Finance Ministry's web site.on Monday, January 2, 2017

When I perform I have a lot of Strumsticks to choose from; when I try out a bunch of Strumsticks ("who wants to go on stage tonight!") it is invariably a Koa D-33 with Pickup that is my favorite.
The other woods sound fine, but the Koa adds just a little more presence, we hear that from our customers too.
The built-in electric pickup provides access to another whole world of sounds depending on your equipment; from tone control, to effects of all kinds, loopers and computer recording. Great sound, with or without the pickup.
See our Video below demonstrating many sounds using the pickup with an amp and effects.
Visually the golden hue of the Koa blends nicely with the red of the Padouk, a moderate contrast, and pleasing to the eye.
See Video Comparing D and G below ⬇
"I bought a D strumstick a year ago and I've had so much fun with it. I love music and singing but had always been frustrated in playing any instrument until I got my stick. Now I can play "Old McDonald" as well as songs by Coldplay and just have the time of my life! Some people pay shrinks a lot of money for therapy but this does the trick for me. I can feel blue, overworked, tired, sad, even happy or any range of human emotions but my stick always sets me right. A few strums on the twangy thang and everything's alright. Thank you for coming up with what I call my "joy stick."
The Strumstick is designed for non-players, and is delightfully easy to learn.
The Strumstick was created by Bob McNally (designer of the Martin Backpacker Guitar) and has a perfect blend of ease and versatility. The D-33 Strumstick (tuned DAD) is our most popular model. Besides being a foolproof instrument for beginners it is also an inspiring and creative tool for professional musicians (on stage and in the studio). Plays in numerous keys (by capo use or retuning) but is ridiculously easy for non players. Full instructions, chords and songs included. Handmade in USA, of all solid woods. The Strumstick is also available in key of G.

The Built-in Pickup allows connecting the Strumstick to an amp, effects, PA, or computer interfaces. Plugging into an amp greatly increases the sound possibilities of the Strumstick; add Treble or Bass, play crystal clean or add " edge" to the sound (from a sharp bite to rock/blues/metal overdrive). Effects devices (stand-alone, or part of many amps) add spacey new-age echos and lush shimmering "fullness" to notes. With an appropriate interface device, you can record into Garage Band or many other recording applications. The Built-in Pickup is the access point for all these musical features.
Piezo-type pickup, Custom designed for the Strumstick by Schatten. 1/4" jack (standard guitar cable) connector.
To Add the Pickup; select it as an option when ordering your Strumstick. Or you can order it separately and send us a Strumstick you already have, we will install the pickup and return the Strumstick to you.

A capo is a device (familiar to guitar players) which clamps all the strings at a particular fret, changing their pitch. With guitar, the capo simply changes the key. With the Strumstick, the capo changes the key, but also changes the type of musical scale you get.
G Strumsticks
Without Capo, key of G Major
Capo at 1st fret gives key of A minor
Capo at 2nd fret gives a Bluesy scale in B
Capo 3rd fret gives C Major
Capo 4th fret gives D minor or D Major
D Strumsticks
Without Capo, key of D Major
Capo at 1st fret gives key of E minor
Capo at 2nd fret gives a Bluesy scale in F#
Capo 3rd fret gives G Major.
Capo 4th fret gives A minor or A Major
Why does the capo change the scale as well as the pitch?
The Strumstick frets are designed to give a diatonic (major) scale. The scale is a pattern of whole steps and half steps. If you capo at the first fret, you raise all the strings (by a whole tone) but you also change the pattern of frets to a different scale. Each fret you place the capo at gives a different type of scale.
Tuning the Strumstick higher or lower will give different but similar results.
Keep in mind that the extra fret (fret number 6, the flatted seventh) may please or annoy you, depending on which fret you are capoed at. If that fret does not sound good, skip it when playing.

This portable amp is a great product, I was lucky enough to meet the Japanese man who designed it for Roland, and he really knows his stuff. I wish I had invented it; If I was an amp designer instead of an instrument designer, this is what I would want to have come up with. I have used it personally so many times, on batteries, at shows; it is loud enough for a room, and the battery life is amazing. The suite of effects built into it is like a box of crayons with a bunch of colors, and a perfect complement to the strumstick with pickup. Now, if you have a big Marshall stack, and 20 guitar pedals, you don't need this. Unless of course you want to take an amp to a party and play without the neighbors calling the cops...Bob McNally

We are now in production on our beautiful new Strumstick Dock Display Stand. I started them last year and field tested them at a bunch of shows. They passed the public test (thousands of people, children, the occasional dog) as well as wind, earthquakes and volcanos (well, wind and shaking tables anyway). I designed them to be sturdy and elegant, and to display the Strumstick as the art object it is. They also hold it ready for instant partying and urgent musical inspirations!
A heavy Padouk base supports two light and rigid fiberglass rods, and a support yoke made from leftover Strumstick wood.
These new ColorUp Strumstick straps have been extremely popular, here are our currently available colors. The adjustable cord strap that comes with the Strumstick works fine, but our ColorUp Straps add style and even more comfort to your Strumstick playing.
These are beautiful cotton straps in a variety of gorgeous colors (handmade here in the good ol' USA!) Specifically designed for the Strumstick, they are 3/4" wide, 4 ply fabric, have genuine leather end tabs and adjust from 30-53" long with a minimal plastic slider. They all employ our unique flexible O-Link with just the right amount of give, for maximum comfort. Many are overdyed, and all the color combinations are carefully selected by our partners in this project, the color experts at ColorUpLife.com.
$15.00 ea. Quantities are limited. Colors may vary slightly from how they appear on your device screen. More colors coming in June

SAN FRANCISCO: Hidden behind the euro's falling exchange rate is a life-and-death struggle between it and Europe's welfare state. Either the euro subverts the welfare state, or Europe's welfare state will subvert the euro. Despite today's weakness, smart money should bet on the euro.
The euro's disappointing performance - falling from a value of a $1.18 at its inception to a recent low below $.90 - is in large part due to Europe's reluctance to adopt structural reforms to increase economic flexibility. ECB Chief Economist Otmar Issing writes: "Germany and other European Union countries share the blame for the euro's weakness because they failed to make their economies more flexible."
But there is a world of difference between the euro's need to tame the welfare state and its ability to do so. Harvard economist Martin Feldstein, indeed, believes that "the single currency will be a political impediment to reform." "Politicians", writes Feldstein, "can now blame the ECB for high unemployment and complain that it is a powerful force beyond national control."
Another, more likely, outcome exists: if anti-competitive policies pursued by a country sink the euro, they will be condemned as "anti-European." For Europe's political leadership, the euro is a sine qua non -- an experiment that cannot, and will not, be allowed to fail. If short-sighted national economic policies threaten the euro, they will spark powerful countervailing political pressures on offending parties to cease and desist.

The Good Stuff study is a 20-day online Bible study to finishing strong! Many of us are great at starting things, but not so fantastic at finishing them. In Hebrews 12, it says we are to strip down, start running and never quit! So, how do we do this? How do we run our race in such a way that honors God, and leaves us successfully crossing the finish line? In this 20-day study, we'll explore what God's Word has to say about four key areas in our lives: our mind, our will, our words, and our enemy. Each biblically based video teaching is 6-8 minutes and will touch on the content in Havilah's 'The Good Stuff' book. No matter your age or history in God, I encourage you to get the good stuff of the Word on your training belt - in your vocabulary, your bones, and in your spiritual muscles - so you can be renewed and empowered to finish your race strong!

Lipids (Fats)
What role does lipids play in our body? Certain lipids are important to our nutrition in our bodies. They are important because they give us certain vitamins such as A, D, E and K. Fats also cushion and protect our vital organs and protects the body from extreme heat.
Fats vs. Oils:
Fatty Acids:
Monounsaturated Fatty Acids: These are good fats. These fats are mostly found in a liquid or oil form. Monounsaturated fats are fats that tend to lower the "bad cholesterol." Some examples of these fats are avocados, peanut oil, and olive oil.
Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids: These are also good fats. These fats come from mostly plants and seeds. These fats tend to lower cholesterol. Some examples of polyunsaturated fats are staff flower, soybean, corn and cottonseeds.
Saturated Fatty Acids: These are bad fats. These fats come from meat and dairy products. These fats tend to raise cholesterol levels. Some examples of Saturated fats are butter, beef, pork, and chicken.
Other Fats and Terms:
Oxidation: This is a chemical process that causes unsaturated fat to spoil. Heat, light, salt, and moisture will speed up this reaction.
Cholesterol: This is a white waxy substance that helps the body carry out its many functions. Cholesterol is made in the liver and it helps make bile acids, vitamin D and hormones. Cholesterol is natural in the body and we don't need to eat food to get more cholesterol.
Trans Fatty Acids: Trans fatty acids is when you take a liquid fat and turn it into a solid. This is done through the process called hydrogenation. Hydrogenation alters fats and their physical properties and makes the fats stay fresh a lot longer. These fats are more harmful to the body and a persons health.
Good vs. Bad Fats:

I have a cake this week that has lilys down the front of the cake. I was wondering if you use celpics when inserting your flowers??? The stems are kind of big, I just dont want to rip the fondant too much. The celpics I have, have a rounded bottom and not a spike on the bottom, do these work as well?
Ahh, I had no idea what you were talking about at first. I have the florist cut off the stem then wire the flower and wrap the wire and I stick that it.
Sorry, I probably made no sense, but, these are gumpaste lillies that I made, and the wires are wrapped with tape but I don't think I should stick that in the cake without covering so I bought the celpics to stick the wire stem in before inserting in the cake. Just wondering how they perform and if I am using the right thing. Thanks for your reply.
Oh I totally stick those into cake all the time. If you're squeemish about it, dip the wires into white chocolate first and let it harden.
I have read so many different things about it, wasn't sure what to do. The floral tape is ok to stick in to the cake?

We certainly don't have a large staff turnover, but probably gain 2 lose 1 member of staff every 3 momths.
Our staff have their clients and so the outside world directly e-mail the user. Currently, when the user goes we:
1) Set and OOA
2) The team leader monitors their inbox, deletes the dross and forwards relevant e-mails onto whoever is now dealing with the client.
So the e-mail start to dry up, except for the spam. We have a catchall policy, so no e-mail is actually rejected at the boundary.
So we are left with:
- is there a better way, e.g. setting up an alias on the team leader, so they don't have to "watch" another mailbox?
- what do you guys do with their mailbox? I want it to be there, but not be a valid recipient.
- The User - on the file server side, I don't want to delete the user as we regularly scan docs to work out who created them etc, so no good if the user has been erased.
Any help greatfully received.

If you're using AD, you can set a "forward all mail" and enter the team leaders email address you want to forward all the mail onto. That way they don't have to monitor the mailbox of the left user.
As for the other stuff, we used to leave the account disabled for 3 months in case we needed anything and then delete. We have a backup if necessary. Recently we've cut that back to 1 month due to disk space.

I disconnect the mailbox and leave it on my exchange server until we do our year end backup, then I delete it. This way I can get it back if needed.
I create an alias and forward the persons mail to a person designated by management who is going to receive their email, and cover the person's job
Mar 13, 2012 at 10:40 UTC
I create an alias on the new person and make sure they know how to make a rule for easy management of those e-mails.
However, since I need the "space" on my list of filtered e-mails by a 3rd party e-mail filtering service, I generally only allow 30 days before outside e-mail will no longer flow into the old account.
Since we are a school, it doesn't usually happen unless we let a teacher go during the year, in which case the parents are over-notified before and after the event, so parents are generally on the ball about those things.

With ex-employees, we de-activate them in AD but keep email active for users who have heavy interaction with vendors or customers. Their emails are either forwarded or their mailboxes are made accessible to immediate manager. Once the replacement is in place, the same concept follows for few months (we have GFI MailArchiver and so the emails are always accessible even if not directly through Mailbox). Users who have mailboxes but do not do much external email interaction, have their mailboxes disabled after 30-60 days.
Same thing happens with files and documents on File server, manager or replacement is asked to clear it out or move them to their folder and this folder is excluded from backups.

We are just in the process of going O365 so I used it as an opportunity to clear out old accounts. Those that we want to check, ie recent leavers, I will forward their email to a desginated user. Anything mailbox where the user has left longer than 6 months ago I export the email items to a pst file and delete the mailbox. That way I have a back up of their items that can be viewed only by a selected few who have access to the containing folder.

We archive all the important old Exchange mailboxes and set alias for emails to go to the department heads. I also recommend to setup rules to separate the emails by highlighting them as a separate color. I contact the department heads a month later to see if they still want the email alias to continue. If they do I contact them a month later.
We are on BPOS and transitioning over to Office 365 thus we cannot keep the accounts live for too long since we are paying for it and removing it would allow us to free up a license for a new user.

I go the alias route. Give new/team lead access to the archived stuff. Then delete as necessary.

Hi, amazing response, thanks. A lot to take in and may have a few follow points about "how to" as I am not that experienced at Exchange mailbox stuff.
I need to check the Alias thing to see if I can set up rules in the TeamLeader's inbox to route the alias'd e-mails into a folder or at least so they show up as not to them directly.
The theory goes that all of the ex staff's e-mail should be filed under clients folders in public folders, but the problem occurs when an ex user hasn't kept their mailboxes in good order and they end up with thousands of e-mails.
I had thought of the "Anything mailbox where the user has left longer than 6 months ago I export the email items to a pst file and delete the mailbox", but so often we have to search back through years of e-mails.
"we de-activate them in AD but keep" - if this a checkbox? Does it keep their SID's for files, so we keep who created files? They don't use personal space, it is in their clients document, that everyone has access to.
"I disconnect the mailbox and leave it on my exchange server until we..." - again my lack of knowledge - what do you mean disconnect?
"Forward all" - I have used this to forward onto external e-mail. I'll look at that.
Loads of info, I'll distil it and come up with a plan, I probably have about 5 or 7 users to do this to at the moment.

Sorry, missed "I also recommend to setup rules to separate the emails by highlighting them as a separate color. I contact the department heads a month later to see if they still want the email alias to continue. If they do I contact them a month later." Sounds like a good idea.
One thought I did have about alias / forward etc, is that one of them that comes to mind, is 90% SPAM inbound now and when the TL sets their OOA, the spam senders will get an OOA,.
Mar 13, 2012 at 1:54 UTC
What I do is setup a "catch all" account only if the e-mail address will no longer be needed.
The catch-all will have many SMTP e-mail addresses of all terminated employee's.
Export their mailbox to a PST and archive it. Then delete the user.
Mar 14, 2012 at 5:49 UTC
Exmerge and delete after 30 days by default.
Anything else will be requested.
