Dollar Coins: Or, In Other Words, a New Tax
Published on - May 1st, 2012 (by Sarah Gilbert)
This post is by staff writer Sarah Gilbert.
"You need 75 more cents!" the woman at our favorite burger joint, Little Big Burger, said brightly after I sent my 9-year-old to order another serving of truffle oil fries with all the change I could find in my bag. Thankfully, I knew I'd sent enough money: I'd stashed a dollar coin in my bag, saving the Abraham Lincoln because, well, Lincoln. These fries were just good enough to let Lincoln go.
Dollar coins are not that popular
I'm used to this. I love the dollar coins and always have; they're so close in size and, if you leave them in your bag long enough, color to the quarters, all but the most discerning cashier will count them as 25 cents' worth. And you rarely see them, as the dollar coins have not exactly flown out of bank coffers. They're just not that popular.
Over the past few years, there has been something of a kerfuffle (in the small world of economics and coin geeks) over the politics of the dollar coin. A well-meaning bill passed by Congress several years ago has meant the U.S. Mint has been legally forced to make dollar coins by the hundreds of millions — more than a billion in coins is stuck in a vault somewhere in Baltimore. They've been piling up and, though the Treasury Department made steps to reduce production considerably after the news broke, there's still the problem of the coins just… sitting there. Gathering dust and no interest and lots of expense to guard them.
Dollar coins are sturdy: We'll give them that
The background is that dollar coins last a lot longer than bills, for obvious reasons: a coin can stay in circulation for 30 years or more (remember my story about coins older than me?), whereas a dollar bill lasts only a few years.
U.S. bills are sturdy too, with their high-tech design and exclusive cotton-linen blend paper. U.S. one-dollar bills last 22 months, a little longer than five-dollar and 10-dollar bills (16 and 18 months, respectively) and far longer than Euros or other note currencies. Douglas Crane of Crane & Co., the company responsible for making the paper that backs greenbacks, told NPR, "U.S. currency: It's some of the most durable banknotes on the planet." Other currencies, like the Canadian dollar when it was replaced in 1987, will fall apart or need to be taken out of circulation in as little as three months.
Supporters of coins (and promoters of copper mines) say it's about tax dollars, and saving them
It's totally a coincidence, right? That the promoters of the bill to replace dollar bills with the coins — Tom Harkin, a Democrat from Iowa, and John McCain, a Republican from Arizona — also happen to be from states where coins are big business? Arizona is lush with copper mines, and Iowa is home to a producer of the metal plates the U.S. Mint uses to make coins.
OK, obviously: these politicians are quite probably interested in the issue because it's good for their big business constituents. But at first look the deal seems like a good one. It's a small amount of difference, but it's a difference indeed: the variable cost of dollar bills is 2.7 cents and the variable cost of coins is 15 cents. When you amortize the cost of bills vs. coins over the General Accounting Office's assumed lifespan (40 months vs. 34 years), coins come out cheaper. Simple, right?
And then there's the seigniorage!
If it wasn't awesome enough saving all those tax dollars, then there's the seigniorage. That's the interest the government makes on bonds that it sells in exchange for new currency. You see, when you replace bills with coins, people do this: take them home and set them on the dresser. Fish them out of their pockets and put them in a jar. Toss them in a receptacle in the car. Fail to carry them around. Don't spend them.
ERRRRTTTT. (That's the sound of something screeching to a halt.)
What looks like a mild amount of savings to the people like me who are always rooting around in the bottom of a bag or back of a drawer for a few quarters for truffle oil fries or a thermos of coffee looks like an extra tax to other people. That's right: you're paying the government for the privilege of issuing you super durable coins that you don't really want to begin with.
The GAO decided that it would be better to switch to coins, but not because of production costs — for the seigniorage benefits alone. And an update to the report in February 2012 pointed out that, thanks to the long-lasting U.S. dollar (which just keeps on aging better as new technology and better paper is developed), and because so many assumptions were made, it's altogether possible that the result could be quite different.
It's not so good for you and me
The net result might be good for the government. (Or it might not. There is definitely much disagreement here — there's a whole keep-the-bill movement that is supported by, among others, most vending machine companies, bars, taxi companies, Crane & Co., and coin-operated laundries, all of which would theoretically have expenses associated with the switch. And then there is the tip situation — presumably, when we tossed our coins out of our pocket we'd only be left with fivers, which we'd be too stingy to use as tips.) But everyone can agree that it's not good for us.
Switching to dollar coins effectively taxes us. And it taxes us because of our stubborn, trenchant, unavoidable dislike for the jingling.
Planet Money's in-depth report on the subject — which inspired me to think more deeply about this — came to the conclusion that bills are better. "It's effectively a tax on people who hold coins in jars at home," said David Kestenbaum. The professor they consulted, Robert Whaples of Wake Forest University, said skeptically, "the government can make profits in all sorts of bad ways. People are going to be putting them on top of their bureaus instead of spending them for transactions and that seems like a big waste of resources to me. This does not seem like a good way to raise money."
Got coins? At least be thoughtful about it.
Maybe you're weird like me and you just think the dollar coins rock. (I think it's the Portland-native in me: hell-bent on being different, setting a trend even if no one will ever follow.) Maybe you're the sort who runs out of money from time to time, like me, and you like that bottom-of-the-bag cushion. And maybe you're not going to get to choose: McCain and Harkin and their metallurgical constituents might win out in Congress and the dollar coin will become the law of the land.
When it comes, though, think about it: don't let them pile up. Use them. Put them back in the bank to earn interest. Don't let the government get its taxes in these silly, quite literally nickle-ing and dime-ing ways. Or look at them in a jar on your dresser and, at the very least, recognize them for what they are: a little, tiny, tax.
How about you? Do you like or avoid the dollar coins? What do you think the government should do?
Note: I edited the post to reflect that Canadian currency was not replaced "recently." — Sarah

Good i am reading this now.Quite instructive and informative
So you have dollar coins as well as dollar bills? That seems like some unnecessary doubling up
Who said that? Canada REPLACED bills with coins 25 years ago. It seems really 'retro' to the rest of us in the developed world that the USA still has dollar bills. Canada won't even have pennies soon.
No, it's the United States that has both coins and bills, at least in theory. Aside from vending machines, I don't think I've ever seen a dollar coin circulated intentionally.
(Also, the reason our dollar coin is so similar in size/shape to the quarter is again a concession to the vending industry…every dollar coin minted since the Susan B Anthony coins has had to be accepted in the same machines as the Anthony model, so one design mistake continues to haunt us to this day.)
The Canadian one dollar coin (loonie) is in no way 'recently released.' Canada has had a one dollar coin since 1987 see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loonie for more details. Based on my math, this makes 25 years of usage but the dollar bill did overlap the loonie for a couple of years. Note that the dollar bills (and two dollar bills after the introduction of the toonie/two dollar coin in 1996) are still legal tender and will be accepted by most retailers — assuming that someone there is old enough to remember what the bills are supposed to look like…
I think the OP meant our new polymer bills, though I have no idea where she got the idea that our currency only lasted about three months. If that's the case, then polymer bills — which are said to last 2.5-4 times longer than paper currency — won't last a year.
he he I've had bills in my wallet for longer than 3 months. I wonder if I should check them for decay…
I guess somewhere in the dusty corners of my brain I knew there was a one dollar coin….but I can't say I've ever seen one, used one, stashed one on my bureau, or otherwise touched one. There can't be many making the rounds, and if they are easy to mistake for a quarter then that's poor planning. No one wants to accidentally pay $1 when they think they are paying a quarter!
I love old coins, and had a whole stash of Susan B. Anthony's – one day I used them for a "treat" and cashed them in at my credit union. They had one of those coin counting machines (free for members – love CUs) – BUT it did not count my 1$ coins as dollars. It counted them as quarters. We had to get someone to come over and open the machine, pull them all out and go to a cashier. That's a bad system – I like the idea of $1 and $2 coins – that are easily distinguishable from quarters or any other currency we have right now.
I'm going to go listen to the NPR report now, as I'm somehow still unclear as to how this is a hidden tax on me… either I keep the coins or cash them in, surely? My choice?
The U.S. dollar coin is identical to the Canadian Loonie in size and shape. It only looks like a quarter if you're completely unaware of the existence of a dollar coin.
according to wikipedia it's even very slightly bigger and heavier! How does that get confused for a quarter? Even if you don't know dollar coins exist wouldn't it stand out as totally the wrong size?
The old "Susan B. Anthony" coins are smaller than the new "Presidential" coins.
I think I'm going to start to make an effort to ask for and use dollar coins. They really do seem a lot more resource-friendly.
I have a good friend who lives in Canada. When the change from $1 bills to $1 coins happened, everyone hated it . . . for about two months. And then, they got used to it and really embraced it. Canadians are now fiercely protective and proud of their Loonies and Twoonies!
I vote to change to the $1 coins if they save money in the big picture of our economy. People can adapt.
I would gladly give up the $1 Bill, as well as the penny. I go out of my way to use the $1 coin.
A couple of restaurants I have visited go out of their way to give you $2 bills in change. Ted's Montana Grill used to do it, although I don't know that they still do.
I would love to spend dollar coins, but they never enter my life.
I actually bought some dollar coins (the ones with Lincoln on them), we use them for things like the tooth fairy. I would use dollar coins more but I had to buy these from the US Mint (so you pay a premium) and I never get dollar coins for change.
Or the US could skip over the Cdn and UK approach of using high denomination coins (the NZers have dropped their low denomination coins too and just round to the nearest nickel), and just move to a digital cash approach (http://techcrunch.com/2012/04/04/royal-canadian-mints-mintchip-looks-to-officially-digitize-cash/). Can you imagine the outcry then?
(Similar to how a lot of countries that didn't have the $ to set up ubiquitous phone systems are skipping landline and going straight to cell phones for everyone.)
In Australia we dropped the one and two cent coins years ago and round transactions to the nearest five (unless you're paying by credit or debit card in which case it's exactly). I used to work in a supermarket and on about $600K of sales the rounding amount – sometimes in the store's favour, sometimes now – was rarely more than about $15.
Only on really small transactions did it matter. For example, I once served two little kids buying chocolates for 52 cents each. They'd obviously made their choice very carefully on account of their limited resources and were proud to have been trusted to shop alone. If each child paid separately, it rounds down to 50 cents. If the children pay together, 52 + 52 = $1.04 which rounds to $1.05 and they only had a dollar. When they realised that they didn't have enough I thought they were going to burst into tears. I'm not heartless – I'd have let them off regardless and made up the shortage in my till but it was an easy fix, I just charged them separately and explained how rounding in maths worked (do you do learn useful things in school!) They nodded solemnly, whispered thank you and enjoyed their choccies
I work with young adults and am constantly amazed at how often they have NO money on them at all — they are very used to simply swiping their debit cards for everything and seem physically pained by the idea of coming up with little bits of metal or paper. In another 10 – 15 years, the whole idea of money in any format other than electronic may be moot.
Which is a shame, because some of us don't want our purchasing history tracked, studied, recorded, used to improve a mega-corporation's bottom line, or used to target us with more insidious advertising!
I'm 26, and I'll take cash, please!
Just a point – the Canadian dollar wasn't that recently replaced. We've had coins for several years now!
I'm Canadian and I vastly prefer the $1 and $2 coins over the old bills. I can't remember the last time I stood in front of a vending machine, cursing at it for refusing to recognize my wrinkled old $1 bill. Oh wait – yes I do – it was during my last trip to the US.
So much nicer to just plonk in a Loonie ($1 coin) and have the machine accept it every time.
A funny thing about vending machines in the US… They don't like the new quarters either, with the states on the back. Where I work, the vending machines take credit cards (sometimes), but will reject newer quarters. Must be something about the weight.
WHY are the dollar coins just sitting in Baltimore? Surely they could be put in circulation just like everything else?
I agree with other commenters on the (lack of) flow and logic of this article – it's hard to follow, and the "hidden tax" argument doesn't make much sense to begin with. If the article started out somewhere else and is mostly a repetition that's even more disappointing… and surprising for GRS.
Also, I'd think GRS staff and readers would be SUPPORTIVE of something that encourages extra saving!
True saving would mean investing those extra coins or putting them in a savings account where they'd earn interest. By storing them in a jar, their value is depreciating due to inflation. Doesn't sound like saving to me.
Stephen –
Your point would have more merit if there were higher inflation and higher rates of return in bank accounts – but right now inflation isn't terribly high and account interest is near zero. Whatever fit in even a large jar probably wouldn't be earning more than a few pennies a year.
Also, what I meant by "extra saving" was that the money set aside in a jar can be used for something later on that a person might not otherwise have funds for. We've talked about all sorts of strategies to "hide" money from yourself – automatic withdrawals into targeted savings accounts, for example – this is just the "cold hard cash" version of that.
Good points, thanks.
My understanding is that almost all the dollar coins that have been put into circulation come right back to the banks, and since no one wants them, the banks aren't going to keep them on hand, so they go back into storage.
I could go on a LOOONG screed on young adults and them wanting to use a card for EVERYTHING, but I digress. I love Dollar coins and get them at the bank every time I cash my paycheck. Nobody can use them if they dont get out of the bank vault and into circulation! The presidental series is fun to collect also.
When the author touches upon the politization of dollar coin vs. dollar bill she should mention that the Crane Paper is staunchly defended by Senator John Kerry as Edward Kennedy did before him. Just as the Virginia delegation held up the nickel re-design for the Jefferson anniversaries, the Massachusetts delegation has stonewalled any attempts to solely mint dollar coins.
The result of this is that Ecuador receives part of its foreign aid in dollar coins. The US dollar coin is accepted there and the people don't mind using coins instead of paper money.
Seignorage has existed as long as money has been minted and helps keep the mint on a money making as opposed to money losing proposition.
The author hit the real problem with the dollar coin very early in the article – it is too easily confused with the quarter. As long as you have to pull it out of your pocket and actually study it before you can be sure which coin you are holding, the US dollar coin is not going to fly. I've never been able to figure out why the Mint can't figure this one out – the old silver dollars were much larger than quarters. I got to be a big fan of 1 and 2 dollar coins when I was in Europe and saw how much easier they make many things. But we will not see that here until the Mint figures out how to make a US dollar coin that is easy to use – that is, as easy to tell from a quarter as a nickle is from a dime.
Dollar coins too easily confused??? Heck, our bills all look alike and we cope with that. It's easier to distinguish a dollar from a quarter than it is to distinguish a buck from a fiver. And actually neither activity requires too much effort.
Hoarding dollar coins is a pretty good example of government waste. So is continuing to mint pennies. I think the dollar coins ought to be released and the penny ought to be discontinued.
That said, it's clear that the dollar coin needs to be redesigned.
i hate having cash in general. in fact i can't remember the last time i had cash. and i hate having loose change. i personally would much rather have bills than coins, but it isn't up to me. if the dollar coin looks just like a quarter i would hate to have to double check my change all the time….or fight with cashiers about how it wasn't a quarter.
I've been thinking about why I prefer coins over bills and it really depends on how we use them. My preference is based on my experience: cashing out the till at the end of the night, coin laundry, parking meters, bus fare and vending machines. For people who don't handle money much, I can see why bills might not make much difference in the days of debit cards and online shopping.
Twoonies and loonies are pretty distinctive, so they don't get mistaken for quarters
If you're talking about dollar coins in Canada, they're struck by the Royal Cdn Mint and are WAYYYYY cheaper than US dollar bills on an annualized basis.
If you're saying that the new Cdn polymer notes (Bank of Canada) are less sturdy or less secured against counterfeiting than American bills, then you're just lying. Your ill-researched article is a complete straw man. New coins shouldn't even use copper, and the penny should definitely be done away with in America as the Cdns have done.
And as I learned back in middle school, pennies are only coated in copper, they are mostly zinc.
This article is ridiculous. Around the world, people use coins for small denominations. Having lived and travelled throughout the world, coins are so much easier!
Any time I have to use paper money, coin, or check, I feel like I'm living in the stone age. Yes, I know credit debt it bad, and I know that the debit fees for retailers can be excessive, but remember we are constantly being taxed to pay for the manufacture of currency. The more "cashless" we become, the less tax money we need to spend to replace that currency.
I was listening to NPR recently, and they had a segment on the penny. Listeners were calling in and sharing their various uses for the largely useless currency. One person said that they actually throw them away. I was appalled by this. Is it actually common to throw away pennies? That seems like the ultimate waste, since the penny is already a losing proposition for the government. If that is really going on in any significant numbers, that would certainly sway me towards getting rid of it.
I don't know of anyone who throws away pennies. I've never heard of anyone doing so. I am sure its not common.
I throw them in fountains.. does that count?
I always leave pennies that I get back as change. If it's at a self check-out, I just leave them in the change cup. If there's not a "take a penny" cup at a manned register, then I leave them somewhere on the counter.
I don't throw them away, but I don't usually take them either. And I'm pretty darn cheap, so it's not like I'm flaunting my wealth or anything! :^D
I keep pennies with all the other change and every once in a while roll them like every other coin. I used to keep a roll of pennies with me for people who beg for money. The looks on their faces was worth the 50 cents in entertainment value.
The 'hidden tax' argument makes no sense.
I don't see how people can mistake dollar coins for quarters, they're larger, thicker and completely different color.
I think the only way to get the dollar coin to work is to get rid of the dollar bills first. I think they should switch over and it makes good sense to do so. But it would also make sense for America to use the metric system…
I like the $1 coin, especially when you buy a T ticket in Boston with a $20 bill and you get a whole bunch of $1 coins back!
"Recently replaced Canadian dollar" ???
Is 1987 considered "recent" ? Wow I guess I better go sweep out my igloo now…..
It's simple… stop producing the $1 notes and naturally force people to use the coins as they run out. People will adapt quickly when they have to.
I'm also a fan of the dollar coin. I get them at the bank when we need more coins for the car. Great for the parking meters. One coin gets me a decent amount of time. Also great at the farmer's market.
Your hidden tax argument hinges on people not wanting to use coins but the solution is obvious: don't give them a choice. Stop making paper dollar bills. They will gradually fade from circulation and then people will be forced to use dollar coins. Or not – if you can't deal with a few coins jingling in your pocket, choose to pay with credit/debit cards or checks. Some businesses might not accept those but being free doesn't mean freedom from consequences.
In essence, your argument boils down to "people are lazy gits who can't deal with a little change clinking around in their pockets". Yet, it works in Canada. If this country is supposed to be so awesome, surely we can figure out how to deal with a few coins in our pockets/purses.
Also, we really need to eliminate the penny and quite possibly the nickel and dime. The reasons for eliminating the penny should be obvious – it's useless. Who pays for things in pennies? The nickel and dime are more controversial but I have a simple litmus test: if it takes more than five coins of a given denomination to buy a can of cola, it needs to go. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
In that case, Timmy's needs to round their coffee cost to the nearest 0.25.
<<<but I have a simple litmus test: if it takes more than five coins of a given denomination to buy a can of cola, it needs to go.
So you want quarters to e eliminated also?
Since it takes more than five quarters to purchase a can of cola.
I actually really like the coins. I get my stamps from a machine with a $20 every time so I can get more. I keep 30 or so in a pill bottle in my glove box for emergencies. I have another pill bottle full somewhere from when I used them for tooth fairy currency.
Yeah, it's a tax. So is the lottery and numerous other things the various government bodies do to We The People. These are taxes on the stupid. I don't play the lottery and, while I have a jar I stash lose change in, I spend it. As long as we are forewarned we are fore-armed. If dollar coins come out, I'll use them and bank them. If the stupid want to pay the hidden tax, great! Less tax for me to pay
Hi, just a NZer popping in to add my 10 cents worth.
The reason I say 10 cents is because not only did our government phase out the 1 and 2 cent coins in the late 80s, but also the 5 cent coin in 2005. We also replaced our 1 and 2 dollar bills with coins in 1991.
I just wanted to say that all of the above changes were weird to us at first (oddly enough, especially the redesign of our remaining coins to make them lighter and cheaper to manufacture that accompanied the phasing out of the 5c pieces) but I have to say you get used to it very quickly. And although I miss the old notes sometimes (they were very pretty) the new coins are great, and it's really handy sometimes when you think you might not have enough cash on you to cover things, then you check your change purse and discover that you actually have about $12 on you in coinage.
The only disadvantage I can think of is it's much rarer to find spare change lying on the footpath. I hear stories about people in the US picking up pennies and putting them in jars and saving money this way, and I remember that on my walks to and from school I could always rely on finding at least a couple of cents every day, but now you hardly ever see any. I guess people don't care if they drop a 1 cent piece but a 10 or a 20 is too much. Oh well.

The Tigers played 18 holes of golf for the first time this season and shot a collective 488 on the par-72 course at Chowchilla to finish behind first-place Central Catholic High of Modesto and runner-up Ceres High.
Sanchez led the way for Patterson at the tournament. She placed third with a total of 100 strokes, two shots behind co-medalists Emily Raspo of Central Catholic and Caitlin Pfaff of Ceres.
"Sarah went out and proved that she belongs among the elite players in our league with her solid performance," said Patterson coach Jason Oliveira. "This will be a great building block for the team as we move into the second half of league play."
Senior Vicky Cruz finished the match with a 128 for Patterson, while teammates Simone Grice and Sadie Schut fired rounds of 129 and 131, respectively. Chelsea Gregory (140) and Alejandra Rosas (141) rounded out the Tigers' scorecard.
Patterson will continue its league season at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 26, when they travel to face Central Valley High of Ceres.
Patterson 230, Pacheco of Los Banos 251
A couple of defeats by two of the WAC's best teams aside, Patterson has been at the top of its game during the first half of the 2013 season.
The Tigers competed against the Pacheco Panthers on Sept. 17 at Diablo Grande's par-36 Ranch Golf Course.
Sanchez paced Patterson (3-2) against visiting Pacheco, carding a match-low score of 49. The two-time All-league selection took home medalist honors for the third time this season.
"Sarah is really getting into a groove on our home course," Oliveira said. "This will be an advantage at the season's end, because both our league finals match and the sectional match are held on the Ranch course."
Grice (58), Cruz (60) and Schut (63) completed the Tigers' scorecard.

Adapted from a recent online discussion.
Dear Carolyn: I've always considered myself a well-liked person, so I was shocked and hurt when I heard another mom from my son's soccer team describe me as "awful" (and the person she was talking to agreed). As soon as she realized I'd heard her, she started apologizing, but I was so upset I just grabbed my son and left.
Part of me would love to use this experience to open a dialogue with her — "What exactly is so 'awful' about me?" — but I fear the answer would really hurt, and I'm not sure I can handle it. What would you do in this situation?
Well, it's also pretty awful to talk openly about how awful someone is — so you have their awfulness to console you. Doing it not-openly won't win anyone any prizes but at least it allows people to save face.
The trick is now to turn this destructive criticism into the constructive kind. What of your typical behaviors could someone tag as obnoxious? Would you even be able to admit such a thing, or do all of your conflicts originate in someone else doing something bad to you?
AIf at this point you feel you're ready for, or would benefit from, a conversation with this woman, then, yes, ask her for a moment of her time. "I was saddened to hear your opinion of me. If there's something I did to offend you, then I'd be grateful for a chance to make things right."
To disarm her completely, there's also this, with a smile: "Well, you can also just not like me, and that's OK, too, since we can't suit everyone's tastes.

|Birthstone fell out (1/5)

|McKinney Te US
While I love my ring and was excited to get one for my son that is due in a few months, I am so disappointed with the warranty. Yes, I have had the ring for some time but a gem should not just fall out of a ring. So yes, the rings are very cute, this company will not fix it after 60 days. Bad business.
N&L Note: We wish this customer would have contacted us about the stone and we could have helped. We have had stones fall out of these rings and we are happy to fix them. Stone replacements are free for the first 6 months. After that time, the cost is $5 to replace the stone plus the cost of return shipping. We recommend that you not wear these rings while swimming or using cleaning chemicals as that is the reason the stones tend to fall out.

|I ordered my ring this year and I love it! It's perfect for my petite hands and the best part is, if we have more children, I can easily have another ring made:) The ring is true to what is advertised and I'm very please with this purchase.

Comments about Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup, 1, 1 fl oz:
I am fair skinned and have freckles. I purchased 3.5, I had read reviews on another site and the reviews said the other fair shades were very fair. I'm glad I purchased the 3.5 it is a good match for me, the formula is forgiving so I feel like a few shades would work for my complexion. I like that the formula does not conceal my freckles, but does make my skin look flawless- without feeling heavy. if you have any items you need to conceal, you would need to use a concealer with this foundation, due to the sheer coverage. The only thing i don't like is that when applied under my lip I noticed that this product has a chemical odor during application... the smell does dissipate after the foundation sets.

Comments about Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup, 1, 1 fl oz:
I loved this foundation after I got a sample at a cosmetics store when visiting a larger city! It's perfect really, not one complaint. Great range of shades, great natural looking finish and medium build-able coverage that is still light feeling.
When this site sent me a coupon code I ordered it right away. At the time the website said it would ship in 1-2 weeks. Now here I am over a month later and still no foundation. I called customer service and they were no help. They had no idea when it will ship but offered to cancel the order....So, do not rely on the "will ship in 1-2 week" statement. They really have no idea when or if it will ever ship, they just put that up there for the fun of it apparently.

My friend, Laura Click (@lauraclick)just posted a great blog about a couple of new buttons you should add to your website or blog to support the sharing of your content via social media:
1) Twitter – Make it easy for site visitors to follow you on Twitter right from your website. Twitter has updated their API to allow for this functionality. This is a no-brainer – now, people can follow you on Twitter without leaving your website to do so. Zing! The snippet of code can be grabbed here: https://twitter.com/about/resources/followbutton
2) +1 – Google's +1 button seems synonymous with the Google Plus social network, but Google is also showing +1 results in its search engine. This is significant, as the votes your content receives on your site are likely to show up in search results in the future. Here's one you can download for WordPress.
Laura explores both of these in greater detail on her blog – definitely take a few minutes to educate yourself, as well as explore other ways of adding this functionality to your site.

We are in a sense living in the final days of the traditional AM/FM radios. For decades the radio has been an instrumental tool for entertainment, informative information regarding bad weather, or news concerning local and or world events.
In an industry where the majority of radio broadcasters yearn for live and local radio personalities, the future doesn't look to bright.
As technology advances we will soon be seeing the birth of wifi in all homes and vehicles.
So what does that mean? With over half of all radio listening done within the car, internet radio companies such as Tim Westergren's Pandora Radio are eyeing into moving their internet radio stations into all automobiles. This will also act as a promotion to those who are still not aware of internet radio services like pandora which provides hundreds of stations tayloring to different musical taste.
Pandora isn't alone in this revolutionary movement either. Other online radio companies are also in the business of looking into putting their services into the automotive industry as well.
Pandora, which has over 40 million subscribers has also tapped into other high tech devices such as blu-ray players and flat screen televisions. So it is only logical they want to continue to expand.
In a recent interview Mr. Westergren has claimed that he is actively working with car manufactures that will put wifi and his beloved internet radio service into every single car that rolls off the assembly line.
So what does this mean for live and local radio? Hands down a global range of listeners beats the limited local listeners that terrestrial radio provides. Advertisers can now advertise their business on a global level instead of just a local one. A perk that many businesses would love to benefit from.
Not only would this be a huge advantage to businesses, it would most likely be cheaper as well. There will still be a need for the smaller local businesses to advertise, but it is most likely the demands for the bigger businesses will overshadow them.
I speculate that the local businesses is what will keep the terrestrial radio stations afloat for a time being. However in the end, I do not see terrestrial radio surviving.
Musicians would also benefit from this global platform. While promoting any given album, promoters usually travel to different radio markets to promote their music to the local radio stations. Scoring spins on a global radio service would surely eliminate the need to do this. So off the bat the live and local terrestrial radio stations lose advertisers and the interest from record labels.
Surely this change will not happen overnight. I estimate this will take place within the next 5 years and the death of the traditional AM/FM radio somewhere between 10 to 15 years. Again this is all speculation, however the potential of such internet services cannot be denied.

Center for Media Justice Pleased by DoJ Action to Block AT&T/T-Mobile Merger
Oakland –Today, the Department of Justice filed an anti-trust lawsuit to block AT&T's acquisition of T-Mobile. Among their top concerns: less competition, higher prices, reduced quality and fewer choices for the millions of Americans who rely on mobile wireless services in their everyday lives.
Center for Media Justice Grassroots Policy Director, Amalia Deloney made the following statement:
"Blocking this merger is a major victory for communities of color, rural communities and America's poor. The Justice Department has taken seriously our real concerns about higher prices, fewer choices and massive job loss. This is the best possible end to our August Month of Action Against the Merger. The people spoke, and the Justice Department listened."
The department's lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, seeks to prevent AT&T from acquiring T-Mobile from Deutsche Telekom AG.
"T-Mobile wireless plans typically cost $15 to $50 less per month than comparable plans from AT&T. Losing that option was something we couldn't afford," said Betty Yu, Media Action Grassroots Network Coordinator. "When we said 'More Mergers equals More Problems' we meant it."

CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) -- East Ridge's next veterinarian or architect, Bailey Crittenden, might never have had a class with Red Bank's next lawyer, Dajanae Williams, or very many of the other 73 freshmen in their inaugural class, were it not for the method by which they were chosen for Hamilton County's new STEM (Science-Technology-English-Math) High School.
They're here by luck of the draw.
"Our kids were chosen completely through lottery," English teacher Allison Fuller-Mulloy says. "From students who have struggled in school, to students who traditionally have done really well."
All bear the torch, the burden, or in their cases, the free Ipads, for proving to scuttling theories about how to close the "skill gap" between job opportunities and the training to prepare for them.
"It's gonna require teachers who think and act differently," former Hamilton County Mayor-turned Tennessee Deputy Governor Claude Ramsey tells a crowd gathered at the STEM campus at Chattanooga State Community College Monday. "It's gonna require hands-on teaching."
For the students themselves, "hands on" offers more freedom, and responsibility to learn at their own pace.
"This school really pushes us to better ourselves," Williams says.
"When they assign you something, it's your job. You have to take care of it," Crittenden adds.
"We're pretty much college students right now," Williams answers.
"You can't rely on your teacher to tell you what you're gonna do," Crittenden says. "You have to know what you're gonna do."
STEM also is a lesson in time management.
"It can be hard to focus, because we have an hour bus ride here and back," Crittenden says. "So we only get a small amount of time to work."
The school day runs 9:30AM - 4:30PM.
"That extra hour of sleep, with this age group, can make all the difference," Fuller-Mulloy says.
STEM's campus is a hub more than a home.
"This isn't the place where it all happens," Ramsey says. "This is where it starts."
Two dozen teachers serve as STEM Fellows. They remain based in their respective high schools and districts outside Hamilton County. But they're adapting STEM instructional techniques to their own classrooms.
Growing the pie' is one aspect that attracted Area203, a digital advertising and marketing company to invest in the STEM concept.
Its $100,000 donation is more than 'feel-good giving.' It's seeding the talent pool.
"This year, right here in Chattanooga, are adding more than 70 new marketing, creative, technology and analytical positions," Area203 CEO Doug Freeman says. "We're finding our professional staff right here."
More than matching opportunities to skill sets, STEM also could slow the 'brain drain' that sends some of the Volunteer State's best and brightest elsewhere to flourish.
Williams is a prime example.
"I want to get my law degree at Columbia (in New York City)," she says. "But I really like the Chattanooga area. I wouldn't cry if I had to stay here."
Bigom's sentence for the murder is life in prison; the additional four years is the abuse of a corpse.

I'll stick with the classic boot cut, thanks! Might try the Barely Boot though, those look like they could be quite nice.

I love skinny jeans and am always happy when they're in style. I wish all the styles would hang around so we can just choose what we like and what looks best. But I'm looking forward to trying the barely boot this year because it will probably look better with more styles of shoes. I don't like all the extra fabric of the other kinds.

I am petite in height and in weight, so skinny jeans are by far the most flattering cut for my small frame. I love them! I also like boot-cut jeans too.

Bootcut, it is classic and a no fail. Though I want to try barely boot cut since, skinny denim looks strange on me I think... it is a good alternative. But fit and flare go to also....so basically i cannot wait for them all...I love my denim.

Skinny all the way. The look rly good on me.

I only feel comfortable and attractive in boot and flares... My legs are short and stubby, practically the length of my arms and theyre "athletic" so skinnies look like pure crap on me, plus theyre unhealthy. I already have an overactive bladder I don't want to be in skin tight pants all day lol.

Bought my first pair of skinny jeans this winter...liked them because the tucked-in boot is all the rage in Northern Europe (makes sense with all the snow...). Prefer straight leg or barely boot for non-boot days.

Bootcut is always the best fit for me, but I have a soft spot for flares so they always come back in my closet and style. I never wear stuff fashion dictates, I try to wear what suits me.

I said fit&flare even though I'm a wide leg girl. I know this sounds crazy but I feel like I'm too thin to wear skinnies. Mainly b/c my butt will be all out there. I have to find better tops to go with them.

Conan O'Brien officiates a same-sex marriage on TV
Have a wedding coming up and need a celebrant? Well Conan O'Brien is your man. The popular talk show host apparently now does same-sex marriages on TV. Conan's long time costume designer Scott Cronick and his partner David Gorshein tied the knot last night live on the show, in a short but extremely sweet ceremony. Last night's show was Conan's one-year anniversary and what better way to celebrate then to officiate a marriage, is what we always say?
To make the night even sweeter, Bravo TV host Andy Cohen (who happens to be Scott's favorite celebrity) also joined the wedding party to walk Scott down the aisle in one of his own designs. It was a beautiful traditional Jewish chuppah, with friends and family all around. Say it with us: awww!
Initially, we do admit to wondering why would anyone have their special day on live TV — and with a talk show host no less as the celebrant — but all jokes aside, the ceremony was actually a quite touching. Who knew there was a serious (and seriously romantic) side to Conan we have never seen? Congratulations all round, boys!

Taking place worldwide on Saturday, July 26th.
Log on to the 'artwikimarathon' AIM room or irc://irc.gimp.org/#artwikimarathon
Based on some conversations during the wikimarathon, a mailing list has been started to continue brainstorming, discussion, and work on the project http://lists.socialarchitecture.org/listinfo.cgi/artwiki-socialarchitecture.org
There's a lack of art/artist info on Wikipedia, and we're often too busy to find the time to contribute. So, we're setting aside one day where a crew of people collectively drop serious knowledge into wikipedia about art. From your favorite notable artwork, artist or exhibition, to our soon-to-be-famous peers. We'll also add structural links to alumni schools and categories like collective art groups, non profit orgs, etc.<br>
The day is Saturday April 26th: an afternoon on the internet quietly enriching the public domain. We imagine groups of 2-4 people around tables across the country, bottomless coffee cups fueling the discussions, fact checking, and troubleshooting. Ideally lots of "oh, that person worked with X, I'll make a page for them, link me up." There will also be a lot of online chatting across coasts. Video chats if bandwidth permits.
Some main folks are:
Roughly 12-8pm EST (9am-5pm PST) Saturday July 26th - or whatever works for you
Pages that need work or need to be created. Add your ideas below.
(TODO: add links to WP for all these pages)

Back in February I wrote about food-of-the-month clubs as an idea for Valentine's Day. Since then, I've learned about Mantry, another such club featuring artisan foods from around the country.
Subscriptions to Mantry (Modern Man's Pantry) come with six full-size small-batch products selected by a guest curator.
March at Mantry brought six Georgia products curated by chef Hugh Acheson. The items included:
The shipment also comes with recipes for using the products, like Hugh Acheson's recipe for shrimp and grits.
Subscriptions cost $75 per month, which includes shipping.
I'd say this isn't just for the modern man.

The pork jerky from Stripplings is almost worth the subscription. If you are down that way be sure to get their pork shanks. Believe Stripplings is closer to Lake Blackshear than Cordele but it has been a couple years since I traveled the Fla/Ga Parkway. so I could be mistaken. Over the years I have shopped there at least a dozen times.

Went to website… It's not real easy to find out what they've previously shipped or what they plan on shipping in the future. However curiosity got the better of me and I signed up. We'll see what shows up at my door. I can always cancel. Pork jerky sure sounded good…

Oh, for your information, I've named the planet "Machungwa" which according to google translator means orange in swahili and sounded cool.

Dessaree -- you obviously don't know crap... the gun was found by his body! not in the truck, yeah he was throwing peace signs and waving his gun and throwing trash out the windows waving to people going by while going through neighborhoods just a sign of his disrespect for human life---glad you all are proud of that. That is what I want my cousin to be known for. Yeah he locked up that ex-girlfriend and beat her for a week. He wasn't shot in the back twice, just once and once in the abds. Are you sure you know your facts, how about reading the paper and talking to witnesses before opening your mouth! Why give that guy and the family condolenses? Because he will go to prison and serve the sentence he deserves and hopefully in pain. he could of killed many people including his own children and ex-girlfriend and officers that put their lives on the line everyday. And that is another thing, why is he chasing his ex-girlfriend when he was dating someone else? I would hate to see where you got your education, you can't spell or write sentences. know your facts. Those police officers, flsvpd, wcso and txdps did an outstanding job protecting that neighborhood and shot the right person. No matter what kind of gun, it was a gun. Cops don't want to put their lives in danger to find out what kind of gun before shooting, they are trained to shoot when they see any type of weapon. there is no sympathy for this looney! He will serve the sentence he deserves and he will be put away for a very long time. Then his kids can sleep soundly and not worry about him coming after them. The cops have everything on tape, they were talking about it yesterday while at the scene how he was threatening to kill the cops and family members and didn't care. It will all come out, so regardless these officers are applauded for doing their jobs and keeping that neighborhood safe. Maribel and Dessaree, you need to learn your facts first before saying anything because it is just gonna get worse once everything is known about what he did, who he threatened. He should NEVER see his children again.

The Arizona Cardinals announced Saturday that they had released kicker Mike Nugent and elevated defensive end Jason Banks from the practice squad to the 53-man active roster.
NFL Shop
Nugent was signed two weeks ago because Neil Rackers has been bothered by a groin injury, which forced him to miss the last two games. Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said Rackers will play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, according to the team's official Web site.
Nugent was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Oct. 5 after he missed two field-goal attempts during a 16-13 loss to the Washington Redskins. He signed with the Bucs as a free agent after spending four seasons with the New York Jets.
Banks re-signed with the Cardinals' practice squad on Nov. 24 after he spent six weeks there. He was in training camp with the Cardinals before being placed on injured reserve Aug. 6.

The new 'in' crowd uses Foursquare
Tuesday - 8/24/2010, 6:00am EDT
Government Computer News reports that nearly 20 departments and dozens of agencies are using Foursquare, a location-based social networking Web site. Foursquare allows users to connect with friends, update their location and get points for "checking in" at certain venues -- all by mobile device.
For example, fresh cookies in the cafeteria at the Treasury Department and the chilly temperature inside VA headquarters were just a few of the tips shared by Foursquare members, GCN reports.
As of Aug. 24, the Transportation Department has logged the most check-ins among federal departments with 767. A close second is the Labor Department with 722, and a distant third is the State Department with 552.
