8 Stylish Backpacks for Kids
Can you believe that school is starting back up so soon? I certainly cannot. The hustle and bustle of shopping for school supplies and school clothes can be a bit exhausting. This time of year, stores are so busy, full of parents and school children looking for the perfect items for their new school year. One necessity that is hard to find is a unique and stylish backpack. Year after year, I remember thinking I had found the perfect backpack, only waiting to find out that many of my classmates bought the same exact one. Since it's an everyday accessory for an entire year, it's important to find one that's awesome.
For the boys, here are some great choices. The first one is from The Gap. It's made from canvas and has fun patches all over. It's one that will work for several ages! How sweet is that little giraffe backpack from Skip Hop? Perfect for your little preschooler. (Could work for a girl, too!) The third is a funky nylon backpack from H&M (which now has online shopping)! Lastly, is this fun dino backpack from Beatrix New York, an eco-friendly choice.
For the girls, we have some great options as well. First up is this adorable mouse backpack from The Gap. Next, is the classic Kanken backpack from J. Crew. These come in a variety of colors and are made incredibly durable. Third is this amazing floral backpack from Liberty of London. It's quite a bit more pricey than the others here, but oh so beautiful! Lastly, is this one-of-a-kind pink spiked backpack from MadPax. Your wild child will be rocking some serious style!

Huntercoin is the World's First Peer to Peer Massively Multiplayer Online Cryptocurrency Game
With the creation of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakomoto essentially opened up a new stream of innovation. We have seen a number of alternate crypto-currencies or Alt-Coins emerge over the last year – Litecoin, Namecoin, Peercoin, Dodgecoin, Mastercoin and many more. Frankly it was getting suffocating to hear of all those Bitcoin clones. In February 2014 however, a very interesting and innovative new P2P crypto currency was introduced – Huntercoin.
Huntercoin is defined as a human Mine-able P2P Decentralized Crypto Currency & Game. It is a fork of Namecoin that makes use of Namecoin's protocol to host a decentralized game that is played on top of the blockchain. Namecoin on the other hand uses the protocol to resolve domain names.
What is it exactly?
- Huntercoin is the Worlds first peer to peer (P2P) decentralized Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG). It definitely has appeal to both gamers as well as crypto-currency enthusiasts.
- Here, players control Hunters which harvest coins in a 2D virtual environment.
- The Hunters return to a spawn area after harvesting, where the coins are effectively 'banked'.
- Participants collect Huntercoins (HUCs) inside a virtual environment through the application of strategy, teamwork and human effort.
- HUCs have a real world financial value and unlike other crypto-currencies.
- Huntercoin is affordably accessible to the majority because dedicated and expensive 'mining' hardware isn't a necessity according to them.
- These coins can then be converted into Bitcoins and real world currency.
- Basically, you get Paid to Play! And not the other way round as it usually is.
This video gives you an overview of their platform:
Technical Aspect:
Huntercoin effectively provides a distributed decentralised game and currency engine. Every event leading up to the present moment is recorded as a public ledger in the blockchain so your successes, failures, and transactions are immortalised. This also ensures Fair game play. Huntercoin can be merged-mined with both Litecoin as well as Bitcoin miners simultaneously - without the waste of computational power. This provides accessibility to existing Bitcoin and Litecoin miners without the need of extra energy, thus proving to be environmentally friendly.
Some features of Huntercoin:
- Instant Peer-to-Peer Transactions
- Global
- No or Low Transaction Fees
- No Central Authority or banks
- Secure
- Open Source
- 1 minute transaction times
- Human Mine-able – Mine with your mind.
- Machine Mine-able – Dual Algo –like Bitcoin and Litecoin
- Merge Mineable With Bitcoin and Litecoin
- P2P Decentralized Massively Multiplayer Online Cryptocurrency Game – MMOCG
- Based on Namecoin – The First Altcoin and enables things such as decentralized DNS – check out.
Huntercoin reached $1m within the first three days of trading. It also has a rapidly-growing community, having accumulated over 5,000 players so far.
A new client is currently being developed for Huntercoin by MithrilMan:

Probably never! All of the after market ignition companies claim that you'll get more horsepower by using their ignition system. I hate to burst bubbles but the fact is, numerous independent dyno studies have shown no gain what so ever! Don't get me wrong. I like a lot of after market ignitions and my own blown and nitroused car uses one as well. The object of the game is to ignite the cylinder. Once the cylinder is lit, it's lit. It either fires or it doesn't. I can't tell you how many racers and street buffs I know that have small fortunes invested in their ignition systems when GM's stock HEI system would have done the same job... if not better! Ford has the worst stock (electronic) ignitions systems. Their factory modules stink. They have the least amount of dwell time and the most expensive price. Chrylser has a great module that will saturate the heck out of the coil, causing a big spark. A neat trick is to use a Chrysler module on a Ford engine. It really wakes-up the coil. I can't tell you how many people say that you can't run an HEI distributor an a high performance engine because they "sputter" after 6,000 RPM. Say that to our Super Gasser that runs 9.90's all day long and goes through the lights at almost 8,000 RPM without a glitch. I took that MSD 7AL2 box, billet distributor and funky coil and trashed 'em because they were doing strange things and dropping cylinders when the car came-off the trans brake at 6,500RPM. I've had people come-up and say "hey, you can't run an HEI distributor at those RPM's", as they watch the car go down the track without a glitch! You can't check those elaborate ignition systems and when they need fixing, you've either got to send them back and wait 2 weeks or spend a fortune on a new one. I've built street cars that run 11's and 12's using HEI ignitions and stock Ford distributors using Chrysler modules, and when you hear one of those engines wound-up to 8,000 RPM without a sputter you'll be a believer!

Success Against al-Qaeda Cited
Wednesday, September 30, 2009
U.S. and international intelligence officials say that improved recruitment of spies inside the al-Qaeda network, along with increased use of targeted airstrikes and enhanced assistance from cooperative governments, has significantly reduced the terrorist organization's effectiveness.
A U.S. counterterrorism official said that the combined advances have led to the deaths of more than a dozen senior figures in al-Qaeda and allied groups in Pakistan and elsewhere over the past year, most of them in 2009. Officials described Osama bin Laden and his main lieutenants as isolated and unable to coordinate high-profile attacks.
Recent claims of significant success against al-Qaeda have become part of White House deliberations about U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, centering on a request by Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, the top American and NATO commander there, for an expanded counterinsurgency campaign that will require more U.S. troops. Discussions began in earnest Tuesday as senior national security and military officials met with President Obama.
Those within the administration who have suggested limiting large-scale U.S. ground combat in Afghanistan, including Vice President Biden, have pointed to an improved counterterrorism effort as evidence that Obama's principal objective -- destroying al-Qaeda -- can be achieved without an expanded troop presence.
The most important new weapon in the Western arsenal is said to be the recruitment of spies inside al-Qaeda and affiliated organizations, a long-sought objective. "Human sources have begun to produce results," Richard Barrett, head of the United Nations' al-Qaeda and Taliban monitoring group, said Tuesday. Barrett is the former chief of Britain's overseas counterterrorism operations.
Current and former senior U.S. officials, who spoke about intelligence matters on the condition of anonymity, confirmed what one former CIA official called "our penetration of al-Qaeda." A senior administration official said that success had come "because of, first of all, very good intelligence capabilities . . . to locate and identify individuals who are part of the al-Qaeda organization."
Director of National Intelligence Dennis C. Blair referred obliquely in an interview with reporters earlier this month to the use of spies, saying that "the primary way" that U.S. intelligence determines which terrorist organizations pose direct threats is "to penetrate them and learn whether they're talking about making attacks against the United States."
Barrett, in a speech Tuesday to the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said that al-Qaeda is "losing credibility" among potential supporters and recruits because its recent efforts "have not awed people" and are "not up to the standard of 9/11." As the years have passed since the 2001 attacks, he said, al-Qaeda "hasn't really made a connection to a new generation" of young Muslims who have little recollection of the events and are less interested in religion.
In terms of Western efforts, he said, the threat has diminished because "our technical collection," such as intercepts and overhead surveillance, "is much better. We have better human intelligence, [and] they have fewer competent people."
Barrett's remarks stood in contrast with an assessment he made in June, when he warned in a United Nations Radio interview of complacency in the counterterrorism fight and focused on al-Qaeda efforts to infiltrate Western countries, rather than Western infiltration of terrorist organizations.
The senior administration official said that more "surgical" missile attacks on terrorist leaders in their inaccessible Pakistani mountain sanctuaries and elsewhere had been increasingly successful and had largely avoided the civilian casualties that had been a source of anti-American sentiment. A total of 39 such attacks have been launched between January and mid-September, according to news reports, compared with 36 under the Bush administration in 2008.
The official also pointed to "progress we've made in other places," particularly in Somalia, where U.S. Special Forces conducted a raid this month -- with helicopters launched from a naval vessel -- that included an unprecedented ground landing to retrieve the bodies of the four alleged terrorists who were killed. They included the target of the attack, Saleh Ali Nabhan, a leader of the Somali insurgent group al-Shabaab, which was allegedly involved in the 1998 al-Qaeda bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa.

Leo's 31st Month
My parents' anniversary falls on the winter solstice, which always prompts nudge nudge jokes about how they got married on the longest night of the year. Ew. But whatever their secret, they have remained married, and mostly seem to be very delighted by each other. I find this fascinating. I mean, they're both so weird, and grouchy, and, well, did I mention weird? How do they do it? Not that I'm complaining!
This year, as always, I called to thank them for sticking it out, putting up with each other, and giving me such a fine example to aspire to. They celebrated by setting an alarm for 3:30 am so they could get up and watch the lunar eclipse together through the skylight over their bed. "The moon didn't disappear, it just turned this eery brown," my mother reported.
I told Aaron how my folks celebrated 41 years of marital...stability...and he was impressed: "Wow, that's so romantic." I guess it is. It's not every night you have the chance to see a full lunar eclipse. Not to mention one that lands on the winter solstice. And it's not every marriage that sticks for 41 years.
I take this as a much-needed reminder that having a spouse means having someone with whom to seek out unusual experiences. Not just someone to park the car while you're bringing in the groceries. Having a spouse means having someone to amaze, not just make soup for. Having a spouse means having someone to wake up in the middle of the night for a romantic reason, not just someone to nudge when you think it's their turn to go tell the toddler it isn't wake up time yet.
I'm in cookie mode, and in Alice Medrich's charming cookbook A Year in Chocolate, I came across a recipe for Winter Solstice Cookies. So I adapted them, leaving off the fancy caramel, and shrinking them from big orbs to tiny little moons. I painted the cookies with a quick coffee glaze that I hope is the brown of a lunar eclipse, topped each one with a pinch fancy sea salt to balance the sweetness, and christened them Mocha Moons. Mom and Dad, these cookies are for you.

Former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis had a tremendous NFL career — one worthy of induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this weekend.
Yet the 43-year-old is trying to add an extra skillset to his resume before the induction ceremony in Canton, Ohio: crime fighter.
Lewis told ESPN's Jamison Hensley on Friday that while he was playing for the Ravens — which he did for 17 seasons — the crime rate in Baltimore went down. Yes, really.
"When I played, crime went lower in Baltimore," Lewis told ESPN. "It's like, nobody needs to be mad now. It's like everybody wants to be happy and celebrate."
Ray Lewis said the contagious positive energy surrounding his induction reminds him of his playing days. "When I played, crime went lower in Baltimore," Lewis said. "It's like, nobody needs to be mad now. It's like everybody wants to be happy and celebrate."
— Jamison Hensley (@jamisonhensley) August 3, 2018
Now, Lewis is right on one account. Crime rates — specifically murder rates — have risen in Baltimore in recent years. A USA Today report named Baltimore the city with the highest per capita murder rate in the nation in 2017, with almost 56 murders per 100,000 people. Its 343 murders in 2017 trailed only Chicago on the list of major cities, and marked the highest per capita rate in its history.
What that has to do with football — or Lewis playing it in Baltimore — though, is unclear.
This isn't the first time he's attempted to make the connection between football and crime, either. In 2011, during the NFL lockout, Lewis predicted an increase in crime if the lockout impacted the season.
"Do this research if we don't have a season — watch how much evil, which we call crime, watch how much crime picks up, if you take away our game," Lewis said in 2011. "There's too many people that live through us, people live through us. Yeah, walk in the streets, the way I walk the streets, and I'm not talking about the people you see all the time."
Football does have tremendous reach — we see it every season across all levels of the sport. There's no disputing that.
But Lewis' claim of singlehandedly impacting the crime rates in Baltimore seems a bit far-fetched.

Spots. Pimples. Zits. Breakouts. Acne. Whatever you call them, we all get them from time to time. We dread the sight of them rearing their ugly heads just when we least need it and can't wait for them to go away!
Having had acne as a teen learning about skincare was important for me. I've noticed lots of people are a little confused about which type of bump is which and the huge amount of beauty jargon really doesn't help them so I decided to do a bit of jargon busting. Knowing what you're dealing with in the first place is where to start when putting together a battle plan to deal with problem skin. Continue reading

A new city development blueprint has caused much consternation for social media users in China, with people fearing that the government will demolish the exterior walls of their private residential compounds in the future.
The debate online began after a government guideline was released by the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council on Sunday.
The guideline basically urges city planners to come up with more advanced and reasonable plans to deal with emerging urban problems like congestion, pollution and overcapacity, and optimize the structure of street networks in order to promote an open and easy-access street-and-block system.
However, one of these proposals seemed to have the potential of bringing about major changes to the landscape of Chinese cities and thus drew considerable concern.
It said that the city should not built residential areas with enclosed walls, and existing residential and corporate compounds will be gradually "opened up," so that the interior pathways can be shared as public roads, which will help to improve the city's longstanding congestion problem.
Residential compounds are an inherent part of China's modern cities due to the density of China's population. Most living areas in cities like Beijing have many residential zones, with inner green fields, playgrounds and other public amenities for the residents. Residents can come in through automatic gates using their passes.
Many netizens and lawyers have argued that the new measures to force private areas to become open to the public are "illegal," since they infringe on existing property laws. The shared public spaces within residential areas, which usually have green fields, playground and other public amenities, are already paid for by the residents, they've argued.
Moreover, others think that the policy would not do them any good as well, since it also raises many safety concerns.
In fact, only a small number of users have voiced their support, saying that this is a good step and imitates city planning as it is practiced in the West.
On Tuesday, China's Supreme People's Court, the highest court in the Chinese mainland, also weighed in on the debate.
Cheng Xinwen, the institution's spokesman, said the measure is a "visionary city development idea" and is a current trend in global city planning. He continued to say that the proposal is still at "national policy" level; therefore, it still needs to be discussed before it could be put into legal force.

A Peek Inside the Home of Designer Marc Newson
Marc Newson has designed everything from digital cameras, to iconic aviation-inspired chaise lounges, and to this day, one of my favorite automobile concepts ever. His work continually exhibits a fascinating dichotomy of simple vs. complex, pared down basic forms integrated and executed with the tools of high technology. So it's with great pleasure I discovered a short video touring his London residence...
The Nowness.com's In Residence: Marc Newson gives us a peek inside one of the world's most famous designer's home, and it's every bit the juxtaposition of yesterday, today, and tomorrow I was hoping for (including a very cute moment with his daughter ascending an interior architectural feature):
"The futuristic interior gives way to mock-Victorian details such as a wood-paneled library, one of several flourishes authored by Newson's wife, fashion stylist Charlotte Stockdale...marble that lines his bathroom, the massive wall of river rocks from Nova Scotia (a "big deal" to achieve, he confesses) and the composite linen that forms his giant dining table."

For many years now, you've spent your weekends visiting yard sales, flea markets antique shows or conventions, looking for that rare wind-up tin toy to add to your collection. Or your shelves are filled with comic books, or action figures, or Frankoma pottery, or …
Antiques and collectibles are your hobby and passion; should they become a side business as a second stream of income?
Once you've decided to make the move from collector to dealer, you have three basic questions you need to answer: what will you sell, where will you get stuff to sell, and where (or how) will you sell it?
I've had my own collectibles business for over 30 years now, in one form or another. I started selling comic books in high school, and since then I've sold all manner of items from rare books to action figures to Halloween masks to collectible cars!
What Will You Sell?
The most important requirement in starting your collectibles business is being (or becoming) an expert in what you intend to sell. You have to be intimately familiar with what you intend to sell–when and where was it made, what are the different versions, are there common and rare versions that look similar, how many of each were made, etc. You also have to know the market–what do your collectibles typically sell for in the real world (versus what that price guide you bought claims they're worth).
For instance, if you're thinking of starting a business selling baseball cards, can you tell me what a 1984 Topps Don Mattingly Rookie card sells for? Without looking it up? You don't need to know the exact amount down to the penny, but you do need to know that it sells for closer to $5 than $50. When you're evaluating items to purchase to sell in your business, you'll need to be pretty accurate at determining ballpark amounts to know how much you can spend in order to make a profit, especially in the case of a large collection where you can't research each individual item.
Since you're going to need to become an expert, then you probably want to specialize in something you'd actually want to collect yourself. In my case, I know there's a huge market for older Barbie dolls, and good profits can be made once you know what to look for. But collecting Barbies is just not something I could ever become passionate about (no offense to the Barbie collectors out there), so that type of business would be much more difficult for me. My advice: if you wouldn't enjoy displaying it in your home, don't try to make a business of selling it.
Now, that doesn't mean you should pass up buying something you're sure you can quickly flip for a profit! These days my collectibles business is selling comic books, but I'll buy just about anything else if I see it's priced so low that I can make an easy profit. You just have to know the difference between "I'm pretty sure I can make a profit on this…" and "I KNOW I can make a profit on this!".
There are thousands of categories of collectibles, but some of the more popular examples would include coins, stamps and paper money, children's toys, lunch boxes, old movie memorabilia, comics books, glass and pottery, kitchen collectibles, sports memorabilia, music, cards and paper products.
The types of items I would recommend staying away from are anything manufactured and marketed specifically as collectibles–do they say "collectible" or "collector's item" somewhere on the ad or package? If so, then chances are they probably aren't either of those. Some examples of these would be collector plates, commemorative coins that aren't made of gold or silver, and items made by companies like Danbury Month or Franklin Mint.
For instance, for years Franklin Mint sold a Monopoly game that was advertised as a "limited edition collectible version" for around $650. Five years after I first saw it, they were still selling it, so I had to wonder how "limited" it really was. These days you can pick it up in mint condition for around 150 bucks. They don't carry it any more, but they do have things like a $50 Jenga game… how much do you suppose that will be selling for a few years from now?
Now, that doesn't mean you should steer away from those items if you find them USED. If I saw that Monopoly game for 50 bucks at a garage sale, I'd buy it and flip it quickly on eBay.
That leads into another point–you're almost always better off buying used items for your collectible business than new. It's hard to tell whether a new item will be popular for the long term, or just have a short-term price spike. You don't want to be stuck with a large supply of inventory after the bottom has dropped out on it.
It's almost always better to walk away from a purchase if you're not sure about it–you're looking for items for a side business, not a once in a lifetime score, and something else will always come along.
You'll need to calculate all your expenses when determining what to pay for your inventory. If you're selling online this is relatively easy–you can find out how much you'll need to pay in eBay (or other website) fees, plus what percentage you'll be charged for accepting credit cards. For most online sites, this will work out to be around 15% or so.
If your selling at a physical location this is a little more difficult; if you're paying $100 to rent a space then it will make a huge difference whether you sell 10 items or 100 that day.
Once you know what you'll pay in fees, and you know about what your items will sell for, you can decide how much profit you want to make and figure out how much you should pay. For example, I usually try to double my money on items I sell for $75 or less. So if I know I can sell something for $75, then that means the fees will be right around $11. I'll pocket $64, so I'd want to pay somewhere between $30 and $35 for the item.
You'll also want to figure out what your time is worth to you. It takes about as much of your time to sell a $75 item online as it does to sell a $5 item, but using my math above I'd be making about $2.10 profit on the $5 item. If it takes me 10 minutes to sell either item (with photographing it, listing it, then packing and shipping), I make $12.60 per hour vs. $192.
Now, that really only applies to online sales–I have no problem selling comic books for $1 when I am set up at a comic book show, but I would never try to sell dollar books online!
Finally, get a price guide for whatever you're selling, if one exists, but use it as a basic reference rather than a bible–just because it's in print doesn't mean it's always right. More on this in a bit.
Some items that I have found are particularly bad to sell, and would recommend staying away from, are:
- Modern movie posters: Anything from the 1980s on. Unlike vintage posters, these were produced in such huge quantities, and kept in good condition by many people, that there is just not much demand for them
- Sports cards: While there are many extremely valuable cards, there are a hundred times as many cards that are almost worthless. Millions of people were buying cards in the 80s and 90s, and the companies were happy to sell them millions of cards. And the market for cards has shrunk considerably over the years.
- Beanie Babies: Yet another product that people bought tons of thinking they would be worth a fortune, only to find out that so many had flooded the market that anyone who wanted a beanie critter already had one.
- Hummel / Precious Moments / etc.: These are similar to Franklin Mint "collectibles"–they are made in such high quantities that there's no real rarity to them, and most of the people wanting to sell them (i.e. the people you buy from) want more money than you can get selling them.
- Mass produced animation art: Many companies produce animation "cels" that are simply copies of the actual cels used on screen. So instead of it being a one-of-a-kind item, it's something mass-produced with thousands of copies, basically the same as a poster.
- Autographs: It's estimated that at least 60% of the autographed items for sale at any given time, whether they're sports, comic book, or movie star, are fake. For me, there's just too much risk involved.
Where Will You Get It?
Once you've decided what you're going to specialize in, where will you buy inventory? You have many options:
- Garage sales and flea markets: This will likely be your best source. In most cases, people either don't know (or don't care about) the value of items, or they just want to get rid of stuff to make room. You'll have a lot more room to haggle at these as well.
- Craigslist (or other online sales sites): You could just browse the listings every now and then, but it's better to use one of several third-party web sites or phone apps that will alert you when someone posts an ad with the keywords you're looking for. That way if you spot a deal, you can contact the seller within minutes of it being posted.
Also, don't just monitor the Craigslist site in your area, spread a wider net. Craigslist has a map-based list of all their sites, and it's worth monitoring cities within a few hundred miles of you. Obviously, you'll want to factor in travel costs to your purchase and determine if you can still make a profit.
- eBay: Believe it or not, you can purchase stuff on eBay and re-sell it, again on eBay, and still make a profit. In most cases, this involves finding items that are listed as a Buy It Now rather than an auction–a seller will list something for considerably less than it's worth, and you can snap it up and turn it around for a profit. You can have eBay email you searches on a daily basis, but these are worthless–most of the times these items will be sold by the time the email gets to you. Again, you need to use a third-party app or web site that will search much more frequently.
Being a programmer myself, I wrote an app that searches eBay for specific keywords every five minutes. I've purchased many things at incredible bargains, but even at five minute intervals I've missed out on some deals–I've seen items sell two minutes after they were listed!
- Facebook for sale groups: If you go to Facebook's search bar and type in your city name plus "for sale", you'll likely find at least a few "online garage sale" groups where users sell their items. The groups are not easy to use, and you can't set up alerts to search for items, but every now and then I'll find something worthwhile.
- Antique dealers and malls: You probably won't have much success at these type of places; most of the items for sale are marked at the absolute highest possible value, and at typical antique malls the owner of the booth is not present for you to haggle with. They're worth checking every now and then if you're already in the area, but I don't spend too much time in these places.
- Running ads: For me, this is how I get the majority of my inventory. You can run ads on Craigslist, in the local newspaper, or in one of the local "Buy & Sell" papers. I've found I get a better response if my ad sounds like a collector looking to buy, rather than a dealer–I think people naturally think a dealer will offer them next to nothing.
- Consignment: You can offer to take collectibles on consignment, but be sure that it's worth your time to do so. If your consignment fee is 30%, and the item only sells for $5 or so, it's probably not worth your time.
Also, be sure you have the item in your hands before putting it up for sale. You don't want to sell something on eBay only to find out that the owner has decided not to sell it, or has sold it to someone else!
Whatever route you choose, be polite in your transactions! The people that you buy from should never end up regretting selling to you–you never know when they could refer someone else your way. And if you have the chance, make friends with other dealers as well, even if they are your direct competitors. If they pass on a purchase they may let you know about it, and sometimes they may need to get rid of a large chunk of their inventory at a good price.
Finally, don't go into debt to start your collectibles business. There's no sense in running up your credit cards (and paying huge interest rates) buying merchandise when you're first starting out. Start small, and re-invest the profits into more merchandise.
Where/How Will You Sell It?
Now that you have decided what to sell, and have started to accumulate inventory, where are you actually going to sell it? We're assuming you won't have a physical store–at that point it becomes more than a side job producing a second stream of income. So more than likely your collectibles business will sell items in one of three venues: online, in a rented space like an antique mall, or at live events like flea markets or conventions.
If you're going to sell online, then you have a choice between setting up your own website, or using a shopping/auction site like eBay or Shopify. I would recommend against trying to sell things on your own web site–it's next to impossible for you to get the kind of traffic to it that you'll need to make a business. You can get 5,000 people looking at your item in a week on eBay, and you might be lucky to get 50 views in that same week on your own web site.
Another online venue is Craigslist, or one of the other "local sale" type of web sites. I do run ads on Craigslist, but sales are few and far between–most of the people using these sites are either looking for bargains (and not willing to pay a competitive price), or other dealers looking for more inventory.
Your next option is to have a physical space that you rent out in a larger store, like an antique mall. If you do your research ahead of time, and get in a good location, this can be profitable. Observe the mall for several weeks (or even months) before you decide to move in. Do you see traffic going through it, or is it usually empty? Do the booths frequently change to new owners? That's a good sign that the previous owner wasn't selling anything and gave up.
Be sure to have a clear understanding of the pricing–you'll be paying a monthly fee to rent the space, then a percentage of every sale–many times in the neighborhood of 30%. Those costs have to be taken into account when your price your merchandise. Also, you'll likely lose some products, due to theft, items being moved to other booths, and price stickers being removed or falling off (so the mall owner's don't know who it belongs to).
Finally, you can set up at flea markets, antique & collectible shows, or specialized conventions (like comic book and pop culture conventions). These are usually relatively cheap, as low as $10 to rent a booth space, and have the potential for a large crowd of people to see your merchandise in a single day.
If you have a choice between a show that specializes in what you offer versus a general show or flea market, the specialty show will almost always result in higher sales.
My choice of these three options is split between selling online and at live events–I run my comic book business on eBay, and sell at a live event (usually a comic convention) every 1-2 months.
The next step is knowing how to price your items. You can start by referring to a price guide, but the prices listed are really just a way of getting an idea of what to charge. For example, I sell comic books, and the industry standard price guide is The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide. It gives me a good idea of what comics are worth as compared to other comics, but I can't just sell my books for the price they list. For one thing, most other dealers at conventions and on eBay sell comics for about half of what they are listed for in the guide. Second, there are comics that are just so unpopular they can't be sold, and there's no way to know that from a guide. It may list a comic as being worth $4, but I can't even get 25 cents for it when I try to sell it. An item is only worth what the buyer is willing to pay, regardless of what any price guide says.
These days the best way to determine market value for something is to look at sold items (not current listings…) on eBay. This will show you what people around the country have paid for your item over the past few months, and give you a good idea of what you'll be able to sell it for. Like it or not, your prices have to be competitive with eBay–in most cases, someone is not going to pay you $25 for an item that they can buy from eBay for $15 including shipping.
Now, this only applies to collectibles where there are several for sale at any given time. If you've got something so rare that there are none currently for sale online anywhere, then you'll just have to experiment. Price it high to start, you can always go lower!
So once you've got everything priced to sell and listed online (or out in your booth), you just sit back and wait for the profits to roll in, right? Well, not quite. If you're selling online, you may need to have several hundred items listed before you start seeing steady sales. And you'll still be spending time hunting for more merchandise, shipping what you've sold, and just building connections. But as you learn, and your business grows, so will your profits!
How about you? Do you have a favorite type of collectible you could see yourself starting a business with?

People have always traveled—dating back to our days as nomads, following migrating herds. People have always felt the urge to leave their home and venture out for new destinations. The itch to explore is the reason we are now connected to every corner of the earth. The question is, do we keep going back to the same places, or do our most popular destinations change?
The answer, of course, is a little of both. France will always be flush with tourists. But the tourism industry is both fickle and competitive. And countries have taken note—tourism is not just a great opportunity to showcase natural landmarks and expose travelers to a different way of life, it's a great (and often important) economic opportunity.
Over the past 20 years, the number of global inbound
tourists has more than doubled. As part of that broad growth, many Eastern
European, Middle Eastern, and Asian countries are growing more rapidly than in
previous years. Generally, this could be due to lifted restrictions, more
airplane accessibility, or a broader view of global citizenship. Countries
beyond destination stalwarts like France, the UK, and the US, are eager to get
a slice of the tourism pie by highlighting their natural attractions and catering
to tourists' needs and wants.
For example, Turkey has grown at a rate 5.62 over the past
two decades because of its historical site seeing and seaside resorts along the
Mediterranean and Aegean Seas. It's interesting that despite recent terrorism
and political upheaval, Turkey continues to build a solid reputation as a top
tourist destination.
Other countries have similar hurdles to overcome before they
become tourism mainstays. Many of the countries with lower growth rates tend to
have issues with crime, economy, and an unsteady political climate that
includes terrorism, bureaucratic upheaval, and government instability. Still,
struggling countries, like Puerto Rico and Venezuela, have broad commercial
appeal if they can remedy these bigger infrastructure issues.
With the advent of modern transportation and technology, the world is more accessible than ever before. We can now simply buy a ticket to see natural wonders up close, to taste and touch a different culture, to have a personally unique experience for ourselves. People no longer rely on migrating herds to travel, we just need a passport. And the booming tourism rates prove that if you build it, they will come.

Knowing what to say to someone suffering from a serious illness isn't always easy.
Card companies do their best to try to find the perfect words, but according to Emily McDowell, those cards don't always keep it real.
That's why she created Empathy Cards, with messages that are honest, compassionate, and even quite funny.
"I hope these cards can help people with cancer feel loved, heard, and understood," McDowell, who is an illustrator, told Good News Network. "If they can help open the door to real, heartfelt exchanges, they're a success in my book
McDowell, who was diagnosed with Stage 3 Hodgkin's lymphoma at age 24, said that the most difficult part of her illness, wasn't losing her hair or sickness from chemo, but the loneliness and isolation she felt when many of her close friends and family members disappeared because they didn't know what to say, or said the absolute wrong thing without realizing it.
"Sympathy cards can make people feel like you think they're already dead, and I never personally connected with jokes about being bald or getting a free boob job, which is what most cancer cards focus on," McDowell said. "I believe we need some better, more authentic ways to communicate about sickness and suffering."
Above all, she wants to connect people through truth and insight, and for the recipients of these cards to feel seen, understood, and loved.

This will be a brief and practical post. I have plans for some rambling and impractical posts though!
Down to business. Maybe you're a working artist. Maybe you're not. Get this: I was emailed by an art scammer. That's kind of like trying to scam a homeless dude, I think. Unless your name is Damien Hirst, odds are good that if you're an artist you're not exactly a high capital target.
Well, let's just say that I don't have a strong instinct for thinking that people are lying. Because I am myself pretty godawful at lying, as any number of my ex-friends will tell you. So I kind of assume everyone's telling the truth. Obvious signs of questionable intent such as, oh, three spellings of the sender name, one of them imaginary and the others covering two genders, the lack of specific address to me, the undisclosed recipient "To" line - all of those failed to twig my scam alarm. I mean, I didn't get excited because I was like, "There's something kind of hinky about this." You know what set me off though? That horrible, horrible English. What kind of self-respecting, art-collecting Englishmanwoman would mangle our glorious language like that? The language of Shakespeare, of Chaucer, of Milton, of Dante*, of Cervantes†?
from Louis Hayne firstname.lastname@example.com to date Wed, Nov 17, 2010 at 7:00 PM subject Interest in your work signed-by gmail.com DearI was going to come over to the United States for christmas holiday and was hoping i could purchase some of your work in person and as it is i do not think i will be coming to USA but am highly interested in purchasing some of your piece so am thinking the best thing to do is have you send me some images of the piece you have available or website to which i can see them and i select the one's that interest me and we can work out payment.I hope to read from you soon.RegardsLouise
I wrote back and traded a few emails with this illiterate dipshit. Finally I concluded that this was not just kind of hinky, but severely hinky. I started googling art scams. I assumed that art scams consisted of amusing anecdotes involving Vermeer and the Nazis, and problematic Salvador Dali prints.
- They send you a cashier's check for the work, and a sizable overpayment for shipping.
- You deposit the check and it clears. You send the work and record the actual shipping cost.
- You send them the difference between their shipping overpayment and the actual shipping cost, via Western Union, which makes it impossible to trace the recipient.
- Some weeks later, your bank figures out the original cashier's check was fake and sends you a letter written in a distinctly cool tone. By then, you're out some artwork (which nobody but you cares about) and the shipping refund (which the scammer cares about).
Incidentally, I noodled around in Gmail until I was able to find the raw text of the first email I received. It turned out it was received from homiemail-mx23.g.dreamhost.com, if you will, with a return path to a certain firstname.lastname@example.com.
Moral of story: no matter how pathetic you are, somebody more pathetic is out to pick your pocket.
*Technically, Dante did not write in English.
†Nor did Cervantes.

The proverb: "No good deed goes unpunished" is a good introduction to understanding the much misunderstood condition known as borderline personality disorder. Any personality disorder is a fixed, lasting pattern of thinking, feeling and acting that usually leads the person into emotionally and/or physically dangerous situations.
I've been treating a 43-year-old woman for 20 years. Because of our long-term history, one would think that she would know and trust me. However, the complexity of BPD became very clear when I volunteered to go with her to help her interpret the results after her uterine cancer was removed. She was scheduled to get a follow-up visit with her ob-gyn doctor, but she was so terrified of what she'd hear that she couldn't bring herself to go. I was in the hospital that day so I offered to stop by during her visit and help my patient deal with whatever results she obtained. She said she was grateful and would go if I were present.
That day I went into the ob-gyn's office with her and sat across from the doctor who reported great news that the patient was cancer-free. I nodded happily and felt good for her and the positive results. Out in the hallway, out of the other doctor's hearing range, my patient yelled and cried.
"You colluded with her! I can't believe how you doctors were so self-satisfied. You didn't even consider me. You and that doctor talked down to me like I was a moron!"

The Beauty of Amber at Your Fingertips
Product Information
When I was a kid I saw this article on amber in a National Geographic magazine. There were two images burned in my mind: that of the indescribable beauty of the resin's color, and that of the insect trapped inside the resin. Many decades later I still remember those photographs.
There is something both mysterious and seductive about amber. Only Mother Nature can come up with such a clear and fascinating color. And we try to capture that elusive hue to the best of our abilities. Here is my attempt!
In this article we'll look at some rooms and furnishings that bring amber to mind, and then some top picks for surrounding ourselves with this warm and endlessly fascinating color.
Nature's Gift
Amber comes in different shades, but the most popular seems to be honey or cognac amber. The wonderful thing about wearing amber jewelry is the feeling of having a "Window to the Past", since this gemstone is a time capsule of organic materials compressed millions of years ago.
I'm enjoying the Sterling Silver Amber Sun Drop Jewelry Set Earrings and Necklace Chain (top left), Sterling Silver Honey Amber Square Ring (top right), Chuvora Sterling Silver Round Certified Genuine Honey Amber Stylish Band Ring for Women (bottom left), and Bling Jewelry Honey Amber Sunburst Pendant Gemstone in Sterling Silver (bottom right). The beautiful honey colors remind me of golden sunsets on the beach.
Relaxing at the Bar
The warmth of amber tones can be felt at the quintessential martini bar of The Cruise Room in downtown Denver, Colorado.
It opened in the early 1930's as the city's first bar. The original Art Deco look was fashioned after one of the lounges on the Queen Mary. I love the chrome fittings and honey colors of this space.
Amber Shades for the Home
I've written before about Art Deco-inspired accent tables, beds, fireplaces, bookshelves and chairs, many of which have golden veneers reminiscent of amber.
Here are other beautiful Art Deco home furnishings and office items that have characteristic geometric marquetry and exude the warmth of wood and amber.
A happy find on Ebay, this beautiful, Biedermeier-inspired pedestal dining table has star-shaped marquetry. It is veneered in rosewood, French elm and olive wood.
This six panel folding screen by Deco-Dence Art Deco in Dallas, Texas is nothing short of spectacular. Completely handmade, hand-painted in oil and hand-finished, it combines the geometric look of machine Art Deco with gorgeous wood tones typical of French high Art Deco.
I'm totally loving the Waterman Carene Laque Amber GT Fountain Pen with its rich amber color and exquisite tortoiseshell-like pattern. The sleek gold trim and solid gold 18kt stub nib makes this pen the perfect promotion or anniversary gift.
Inspired by Amber
Here are some customizable gifts combining amber hues with brown, orange and yellow. I put together this design thanks to plenty of inspiration from the luxurious Art Deco furnishings like the ones shown above. Personalize these items with your name or initials for a unique gift to yourself or for someone you care about.
Accent your home with this custom pillow. Made of 100% grade A cotton, these soft pillows look great with your initials. You can also add a message at the back (The sample says "Best Friend"). Machine-washable and made in the USA. Choose between two styles: square (as pictured) or lumbar.
This 3-Ring binder will look lovely in a traditional home office. I think the amber theme looks great for a New House commemorative binder: the one where you organize all the papers related to building your home. It includes full-bleed, photo-quality printing on the front, back and spine. There are two different ring types to choose from: holds 500 pages with EZ-Turn™ Rings or 540 pages with 1 Touch™ EZD™ Rings. Designed for 8.5″ x 11″ sized paper.
This ultra-thin RAZR case covers the back and corners of your phone with an impact resistant plastic shell, while still providing access to all ports and buttons. Designed for the Motorola Droid RAZR, this sleek and lightweight case is the perfect way to show off your custom style.
Upgrade your daily commute with a customized Rickshaw laptop bag! Made in San Francisco with a focus on sustainability and durability, this laptop bag stands up to daily wear 'n tear and stand out with your monogrammed initials on the front flap. Made with a pocket or compartment for everything from a 15" laptop to a journal, this laptop bag will make it easy to take it all with you each day.
Stand out in the baggage carousel with a custom amber luggage tag! No larger than a business card and constructed of 100% acrylic, this luggage tag is printed in vibrant clarity and brilliant colors. Customize with your personal information on each side and escape bag mix ups for years to come.

My guess is that Akhenaten was putting his money on Aziru, Rib-Hadda's enemy, and didn't care about the fate of Rib-Hadda. However, it began to look like the king of Egypt had backed the wrong guy and Aziru fell under suspicion. He was ordered to come to Egypt and thus went, although fearful of his reception. Everyone was accusing Aziru of being a traitor to Akhenaten--and he probably was.

Back to top LutzPharaohJoined: 02 Sep 2007Posts: 3913Location: Berlin, Germany Posted: Tue May 20, 2014 7:46 pm Post subject: Nadav Naaman : Looking for the Pharaohs Judgement. - In: Revue d'Assyriologie et d'archéologie orientale 90.2. - 1996. - pp. 145 - 159: Quote: "Abstract: The article discusses two episodes in which Rib-Hadda of Byblos requested an intervention and judgment (dïnu) by the Pharaoh. The fïrst appeal was made after a coup d'État in Tyre, in which his brother and his brother-in-law, the ruler of Tyre, with his wife and children, were killed (EA 89). A second request for a royal décision was made when the ruler of Beirut confiscated two Byblian ships, probably to collect an unpaid debt (EA 105, 113). The chain of events of the two episodes is reconstructed in détail, and Rib Hadda's cunning diplomatie manipulations are made clear, partly by new readings suggested for difficult passages (in particular, letters EA 85, 89, 105, 120, 143). The Pharaoh's policy in the affaire of Canaan was, to a certain extent, motivated by the prospect of profit. Rib-Hadda realized this, and in each case he tried to move the Pharaoh to décidé in his favour by emphasizing that his décisions might gain him easy profits. Conclusions: The judgment of the Pharaoh in the affairs of his Canaanite vassals is well illus trated by the two episodes under discussion. The king had his own order of priorities and was not interested in the current affairs in his Asiatic province. Those he left to his com missioners in Canaan. He may have intervened in major events, or in affairs that could increase his property or prestige. Rib-Hadda understood this, and tried to incite the Pha raoh to act by emphasizing the loss of prestige caused by his silence, in view of what hap pened in Canaan. The two episodes discussed in this article show how Rib-Hadda tried to entice the Pharaoh to make décisions by emphasizing the prospect of an easy profit. In the first episode he has stressed the great wealth of Tyre, and in the second he pointed out the way to deliver the confiscated property to the king. No doubt this was the standard of the time,18 and Rib-Hadda was no différent from other mayors in the région. The décisions of the sun god were, to a certain extent, motivated by the prospect of profit, and those who knew how to manipulate him, and what to offer in a given moment, were able to direct his judgment in their favour." Another aspect brings Raymond Westbrook : Patronage in the Ancient Near East. - In: Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient 48.2. - 2005. - pp. 210 - 233. Obviously Aziru had the better connections to the Egyptian court and its officials. Several letters are, for example, addressed to Tutu. In them Aziru calls Tutu his "father" and "protector". Whether more than flattery (bribery?) was in play, must however remain open... Similarly, to officials in the court personally addressed letters from Rib-Hadda are not known. Highly recommend I can also Amarna Diplomacy - The Beginnings of International Relations. - [Ed. Raymond Cohen / Raymond Westbrook]. - Baltimore / London : Johns Hopkins University Press, 2000. - ISBN : 0801861993; 0801871034. - xvi, 307 p., ill., maps.

More billionaires are based out of Beijing, China, than anywhere else in the world.
There are now 100 in Beijing, the AP reports. The Chinese capital displaces New York, which has 95.
Rounding out the top five are Moscow (66), Hong Kong (64), and Shanghai (50).
The data comes from Hurun, a Chinese research company that focuses on the world's richest people.
Hurun founder Rupert Hoogewerf says that the boost in billionaires comes from China's massive increase in initial public offerings, which totaled $23.4 billion by mid-June of last year.
Sadly, these billionaires won't be able to fund any more of China's famous bizarre architecture, which is now banned.

Seeds that have been aboard the International Space Station for months will feature in the experiments of children at Crathie Primary.
The 12 pupils taking part at Crathie School will receive 100 of the rocket seeds, currently still on the space station in microgravity, to grow alongside regular seeds over seven weeks.
The young scientists won't know which seed packet contains which seeds until all results have been collected by the RHS and analysed by professional biostatisticians.
The science experiment hopes to encourage the pupils to think about how human life can be preserved on another planet, what astronauts need to survive long-term missions in space, and the difficulties surrounding growing fresh food in challenging climates.
The seeds are part of Rocket Science, an educational project launched by the Royal Horticultural Society's campaign for school gardening alongside the UK Space Agency.
Head teacher Lilian Field said: "We are very excited to be taking part in Rocket Science. This experiment is a fantastic way of teaching our children to think more scientifically and share their findings with the whole community."
The children will be supported by the gardeners on the nearby Balmoral Estate, and head gardener Allan Beedie said: "I think this will be a wonderful project for the children of Crathie School to be involved with."
The school also plans to involve their toddlers group who visit school twice weekly.
In September, 2kg of rocket seeds were flown to the space station on Soyuz 44S where they spent several months in microgravity. They return to Earth next month.
Rocket Science is an educational project from a programme developed by the UK Space Agency to celebrate British ESA astronaut Tim Peake's Principia mission to the ISS to inspire young people to look into careers in cience, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).

Mental Health Parity – Can a Plan Exclude Residential Treatment Facility Benefits? Federal District Court Says No
The Mental Health Parity and Addition Equity Act of 2008 (Parity Act) provides that group health plans must include the same lifetime and annual dollar limits for mental health benefits as are imposed on medical and surgical benefits. In Joseph and Gail F. v. Sinclair Services Company, 2016 WL 309787 (D. Utah 2016), the court held that a group health plan which provides mental health and substance abuse benefits, but excludes all services received at a residential treatment facility, violates the Parity Act.
The court determined that the residential treatment exclusion is a "nonquantitative treatment limitation," because the limitation is not expressed numerically, but otherwise limits the scope or duration of benefits for treatment. In this case, the plan covered skilled nursing services, which only provide services to treat medical/surgical conditions, but excluded all residential treatment facility services. Prior to the complete exclusion, the plan defined a residential treatment facility as "a childcare institution that provides residential care and treatment for emotionally disturbed children and adolescents." The court held that the exclusion violates the plain language of the Parity Act since the only types of conditions which are treated at a residential treatment facility are mental health conditions.
The court noted that the administrator argued that the residential treatment facility exclusion applied equally to both mental health benefits and medical/surgical benefits. However, the administrator did not offer any evidence to support this assertion. It seems the court left open the possibility that a plan can include a residential treatment facility exclusion if the plan can demonstrate that a medical or surgical condition could require treatment at a residential treatment facility. However, as defined in this plan, the court concluded that the exclusion applied only to mental health services in violation of the Parity Act.
In addition to the participant litigation risk posed by plan exclusions, a violation of the Parity Act can expose your company to an excise tax liability of up to $100 per day per violation. With the heightened focus by the Department of Labor and in litigation on the treatment of mental health services under employer-sponsored plans, now would be a good time to review your company's self-funded plan to ensure the exclusions and treatment limitations comply with the Parity Act.

TUV candidates in the ABC council area have called for all unionist parties - "especially DUP" - to ensure that their supporters transfer their votes down the card to all pro-union contestants.
The plea comes in a joint statement from Paul Coleman (Portadown), Roy Ferguson (Lurgan) and Samuel Morrison (Lagan River), who claim that "recent statements from numerous DUP spokespeople about vote splitting are disingenuous in the extreme".
The statement adds, "You cannot split the vote in a PR election as long as you transfer down the Unionist ticket. We are disappointed that Peter Robinson has not entered into the same spirit of Unionist co-operation by encouraging voters to transfer to the TUV.Perhaps he has forgotten that at the last European Election, the 25,000 votes from TUV's Jim Allister saw their candidate Diane Dodds elected.
"A vote for TUV is not only a vote for change but it also allows voters to record their verdict on the DUP's stewardship in government with Sinn Fein, and the poor form of collective government offered by the Stormont Executive. Only a vote for the TUV will be seen in these terms."


text: Fungi represent a very important part of the thallophytes and are separated from the rest by many definite characteristics. They have no chlorophyll and no starch is present in their cells and it is easy to see from the example of a few familiar toadstools that they are quite different in actual make-up from all other plants. They do not live on their own manufactured food, but rely either on the decaying remains of other plants and animal life(these types are called saprophytes)or on living plants or animals(parasites). The fungi may be single celled plants such as yeast, which is used for baking bread and brewing beer, or multi-celled plants such as the mushroom. In these more advanced forms the main part of the plant is an intricate web of threads known as hyphae, the whole web being called the mycelium. This often lives underground or inside the host plant on which the fungus is living. The hyphae threads run about either in or between the cells of the plant and have the power of dissolving the cellulose of the cell walls and living on the contents. The saprophytic ones act in a similar way on dead organic material and are not generally harmful to plants or animals. These parasites on the other hand cause man a great deal of trouble and expense in trying to get rid of them. Some fungi attack animals, including man, an example being the fungal disease athlete's foot. With the larger fungi, the hyphae sometimes come above ground and form a special structure which can produce spores. This is the fruiting stage of the plant and the mushroom and toadstool are examples of this. The hyphae have another property which is important to the fungus and this is the formation of a hard tuber like body called sclerotium(again a resting stage) which is capable of existing for a long time without actually growing, or doing damage in the case of harmful fungi. This stage makes it difficult to get rid of some fungal diseases for they can withstand a lot of adverse treatment, and then germinate when conditions are suitable. As fungi lack chlorophyll they cannot make their own food by photosynthesis. They must therefore absorb carbohydrates from the plant or animal matter on which they live. Having got s source of supply of carbohydrates they can themselves convert these substances into the more complicated ones needed to make cellulose for cell walls, and for proteins and protoplasm. The last two can only be formed if the fungus has a source of nitrogen and other more complex chemicals from an outside source, so for this reason a lot of fungi are rather specialized in their choice of where to grow. Like the animals, fungi are dependent upon green plants for their food and could not live without them. So it is that the first living matter to colonise a new piece of ground will be something which can manufacture its own food, without depending on any other life form and it must therefore be a green plant whether one celled or multi celled. When this is established, fungi and animals will appear either to grow on or eat the plant or live on the organic matter which occurs when it dies.

The head of the World Anti-Doping Authority has warned high-profile athletes such as Andy Murray who have hit out against strict new drug-testing rules that they must accept them for the good of their sports. Wada's director-general, David Howman, is in London to meet eight bodies representing athletes from a range of sports, including athletics, football, cricket, tennis and rugby, which had raised concerns over a new requirement for them to reveal their whereabouts for one hour of every day.
Under the new regulations, if a tester turns up at the given location and they are not there, that counts as one missed test unless they are able to give a "valid excuse". Three missed tests within an 18-month period will lead to a ban of between one and two years, prompting some athletes to react. Murray and other tennis players have complained that the regulations will make it difficult to lead a normal life, while some governing bodies such as FIFPro, which represents professional footballers internationally, have claimed it could be at odds with European law. In Belgium a coalition of athletes is challenging the new rules in court.
But Howman said the main problem was that the new rules, and the importance of adhering to them, had not been adequately explained by the relevant governing bodies. "On an international level there was discontent, not so much about the new rules as the way they were introduced. They are unhappy about that and we heard the unhappiness," said Howman. "Does that mean there'll be a whole new consultation process and we'll start all over again? No. But it does mean we've given them an avenue for expression, which we had wrongly assumed was taking place through each individual sport."
Howman, who believes the Belgian case has little chance of success, said the new rules were carefully drafted to ensure they did not infringe existing laws. He added that athletes who argued their sport was a special case should be given short shrift. "It's a silly conversation for anyone to say their sport hasn't got a problem. One, because it's not true. Two, because you don't know what's around the corner," he said.
Howman dismissed concerns regarding athletes' civil liberties. "If people were totally honest they'd say their civil liberties are affected on a daily basis by inhouse cameras, security things at airports and so on. That's part of life. Secondly, they're exposing much of their lives by typing away on Facebook and MySpace and all those things," he said, adding that top athletes would have to accept the regime, which requires them to specify a time between 6am and 11pm, as part of competing in their chosen discipline.
"If you take it by itself, you say that could be a serious invasion. But is it proportionate? Yes, because it's not everybody. Are you playing sport under certain rules? Yes, we're invading your rights by saying you can't kick the referee and you can't swear at so and so. This is just another rule that you tack on to your game."
The principle of out-of-competition testing was well established, said Howman. "The guys at the coal-face doing testing all the time know only too well that, when someone is on a break, that's when they dope up. It's common sense. It's known. It's not as though we're making this up," he said. "So if you're going to show yourself as a clean athlete, you make yourself available. You're not going to be tested day in day out."

A few months ago, I shared one of my favorite haircare discovery with you: the miracle hair tie from Emi-Jay. These babies don't dent your hair and coming in a variety of colors and prints, they actually manage to look cute on your wrist. Many a picture has been ruined by ugly hair ties on my wrist…cue proposal/engagement photos.
I scooped up a dozen Emi-Jay hair ties as fast as I could after seeing these photos.
They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, so I guess the two young teenage entrepreneurs who make up Emi-Jay should be very flattered that there are now a half dozen companies hocking a similar product. I've come across a few different brands and am aiming to try them all out to see which ones are the best.
So far, I've found that Emi-Jay tend to stretch the most, which is great for anyone with thick hair like myself. However, they do stretch out faster than the Mane Message hair ties I've tried. Since the Kitsch hair ties are available at South Moon Under, I'll try those next despite the fact they are the most expensive. I also love the gold polka dot prints from the Multitude brand. Have you tried any of these brands? Do you have a favorite? Let me know!
