The Worst Years of Our Lives
I was lucky enough to know Elliott Smith a little. We both lived in LA for a while and spent many nights at the oldLargo nightclub in Hollywood. At the very end of the '90s, Largo's owner, Mark Flanagan, asked me to participate in a charity song swap to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. I was to sit on a stage with Jon Brion, Fiona Apple, and Elliott. In the greenroom before the gig, Elliott, whom I had just met, was nervously mumbling about how lousy he was, that he didn't belong on a stage with such great performers, that people were going to hate him. Incredulous, I told him, "You're Elliott fucking Smith!" But he just shook his head. Once we were on the stage, though, his sly sense of humor came out. I made passing reference to a Stevie Nicks story, and he stage-whispered, "That's not the Stevie Nicks story I heard." In the middle of the show, he surprised everyone by pulling out a harmonica and playing along with the other performers' songs. I had just written my song "Rollerskate Skinny," and I nervously trotted it out. When I finished, Elliott said, rather matter-of-factly, "Now that's a great song." He was generous like that, if only to other people. And then he sang one song he'd just written, "Son of Sam," and we were transported. At the time, the thought occurred to me: He doesn't just live for the music; he lives in the music. It was as if everywhere else was too painful.
In Torment Saint, William Todd Schultz has written his own kind of love song—an account of Smith's life that does full justice to his memory and the impressive legacy of his art.

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. --San Bernardino police officers shot and killed a man who was allegedly armed with a gun, according to authorities.
The incident happened around 7:45 p.m. Wednesday. It started with a traffic stop at 16th Street and Arrowhead Avenue.
Authorities said two officers wrestled 23-year-old Anthony Gilmore Jr. to the ground when he tried to run away while they were questioning him.
One of the officers noticed a semi-automatic handgun on the ground next to Gilmore. Officials said Gilmore grabbed the weapon and put it under his body.
The officer shot Gilmore, fearing that the suspect was going to shoot him or his partner.
Gilmore later died at the hospital. The officers weren't seriously injured.
The shooting remains under investigation.

Walker Continues Brown Bag Series With Talk on Hitchcock Adaptation
SALISBURY, MD---Salisbury University's Brown Bag Discussion Series continues with a presentation by Dr. Elsie Walker, assistant professor in the English Department and editor of Literature Film Quarterly.
Walker speaks on "Hitchcock with New Music: a Film Maker's Adaptation of Vertigo Wednesday, November 29, at noon in the University Gallery of Fulton Hall.
Her talk focuses on a film adaptation of a scene from Vertigo. The film, ironically entitled Sunshine (2005), is made by Meesoo Lee, an Asian-Canadian independent film maker whose work is well known in fringe film festival circuits and experimental galleries in Canada.
"The idea of being able to independently manipulate a scene from Vertigo is partly interesting since the film, released in 1958, was literally locked away by Hitchcock for many years and was only available for wide circulation in pristine form after 1997," said Walker.
"Such a process is part of a new era of spectatorship in which films are not only widely available, but processes of digitally manipulating even the most revered films are possible for many. Lee's film may be seen as part of a new democratization of interpreting films through creative processes which reframe their meanings for new audiences."
One of Lee's recurring processes involves manipulating film clips and combining them with new music. In this example, a Mozart melody featured in a key scene of the central character's mental disturbance is replaced with a darkly parodic rendition of the song "You Are My Sunshine" by the band Low. The overall effect of the new music, along with Lee's manipulation of visual rhythms is initially risible but ultimately haunting in that it utterly changes the tenor, weight and focus of the scene in terms of narrative, characterization and psychological implication.
Walker's includes a screening of this undistributed 3-minute film. Admission is free and the public is invited. Light refreshments are served. For more information call 410-219-2872 or visit the SU Web site at www.salisbury.edu.

By Mike McAuliffe, Marketing Intern at RiverWoods Exeter
Right when I walked through the front door of Campus Crossing for the first day of my marketing internship I could sense the welcoming energy that radiates throughout RiverWoods Exeter. I was immediately showered with warm greetings from everyone in the office, many of whom already knew my name, and was given a tour which introduced me to all three of our beautiful campuses. From the get-go I could tell that RiverWoods Exeter is a special place and that this internship will be an experience that I'll thoroughly enjoy.
Last Tuesday we welcomed our three new two-year-old goats, Achilles, Plato and Eros, as well as Sophocles the bunny to the RiverWoods family! The four of them are settling in quite nicely to their new home here at RiverWoods Exeter. This initiative came from RiverWoods Exeter employees who attended the RiverWoods Business Management program, who wanted to introduce agricultural activities to our community that promote life and animal engagement. After extensive research, coordination and hard work, this initiative has come to fruition!
With four miles of trails, Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are popular ways to enjoy the winter weather here on campus. RiverWoods Exeter residents Steve Swenson, Stu Howkins, Spencer Jackson and Sue Jordan decided to pack down the trails after our recent snow and were kind enough to pause for a group photo at Gooch Park.

With great sadness and loss, our dear friend
Jim Whitehead passed away July 3rd, 2015.
Enterprises Inc.
Jim Whitehead,
Are Banks Lending
They most certainly are!
As a mortgage broker, I should know.
It wasn't until recently that I asked myself (I asked my
wife, actually), "I wonder if I'm getting fewer phone calls because people
think the banks aren't lending money?"
Contrary to what the news might seem to be telling you,
banks are most definitely lending mortgage money. Unlike the past, you simply have to be creditworthy.
For that matter, the
mortgage industry is eager for a loan application from any mortgage applicant
with good credit, verifiable income, and good savings (a 20% down payment
deposit will go a long way). Those buyers/ borrowers will be approved for a
mortgage the same as they would have before the terms "mortgage meltdown" and
"financial crisis" were ever uttered.
Mortgage lending has
never been an exact science, and lending guidelines have tightened, but don't
think for one minute that banks aren't looking for qualified mortgage
applicants. For anyone in the market to buy an apartment, I'd say the same
thing as I would say over the years: Make one phone call and find out the
In most cases, I can
tell someone over the phone, with good certainty, whether or not they will be
approved for a mortgage.
With a total down
payment of 20% or more, sufficient income to qualify for the loan, and good
credit, the lenders are happy to lend.
In more ways than
not, it's the same as it ever was…..

David Dewhurst
Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst is a native Texan, proud veteran, successful businessman, and rancher. He serves as President of the Texas Senate and is proud of the broad support he has earned during his tenure.Through three Regular Sessions and seven Special Sessions of the Legislature, Lt. Governor Dewhurst has worked to bring together Republicans and Democrats to pass legislation to create new jobs and economic opportunity, improve schools, and protect public safety. In 2007, Dewhurst led the effort to pass one of the toughest Jessica's Laws in the nation. The law, part of Dewhurst's Texas Children First initiative, imposes tough, new penalties against child predators, including life in prison without the possibility of parole.A fiscal conservative, Dewhurst has worked to balance three budgets without increasing the tax burden on Texans. These conservative budgets have helped the state's economy grow faster than the national economy and create more than one million new jobs in Texas over the last five years.Lt. Governor Dewhurst believes every child in Texas deserves a quality education. In 2006, as Dewhurst led the Senate to approve $14 billion in local school property tax cuts, he fought successfully to raise teacher salaries and educational standards, increase accountability, and reduce drop-out rates. To make university study affordable, Dewhurst worked to pass the "B-on-Time Loan Program," which provides college students with zero-interest, forgivable loans if they graduate on time with at least a "B" average.The Dallas Morning News called Dewhurst's first term leading the Senate "a demonstration of steadiness, resolve and consensus building." The Houston Chronicle has called Dewhurst "an exceptional leader."As Commissioner of the Texas General Land Office, where he served from 1999-2002, Dewhurst reduced the workforce and budget, and turned back money each of two biennia to Texas' taxpayers. He certified almost $1 billion in below-market interest rate loans to veterans to honor their service and to stimulate the Texas economy, and helped protect the environment and increase tourism by restoring Texas' beaches and bays.In the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks, Dewhurst was appointed by Governor Rick Perry as Chairman of the Governor's Task Force on Homeland Security.Dewhurst began his business career in the mid-1970s after serving as an officer in the U.S. Air Force, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the U.S. State Department. He founded Falcon Seaboard, a Texas-based diversified energy and investments company. An early developer in the mid-1980s in the electric cogeneration business, he has earned a reputation as an innovative and successful businessman.Dewhurst has been a long time community and civic leader in his hometown of Houston, where he has served on civic and charitable boards. Dewhurst, who speaks Spanish, earned his BA degree from the University of Arizona, where he played college basketball. He breeds and raises registered Black Angus cattle, and he rides cutting horses in National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) and American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) competitions. Dewhurst is honorary Vice President of the AQHA.

Why Austerity Measures Do Not Work in Greece
In his seminal work, Lucas (1976) argues that economic models should reflect the fact that economic agents operate under optimal decision rules that vary with policy changes.
As a result, the effect of introduced reforms can neither be evaluated nor quantified without considering the response of affected parties. This "critique" of static economic models becomes particularly relevant in the case of Greece, as it provides an explanation for the failure of austerity measures over the past years.
Indeed, the recent Greek reform programs provide countless examples of implemented measures that failed to yield the expected outcomes, because policy-makers ignored the reaction of affected parties. For example, the increase of vehicle registration fees resulted in massive de-registration of cars and motorcycles, inducing a negative fiscal outcome for the government budget. Similarly, anticipation of additional wage cuts for government employees, which aimed to reduce public spending, led to a movement towards early retirement, which in turn put pension funds under terrible strain.
Especially when it comes to tax reforms, large discrepancies between forecasts and realized results suggest that policymakers fail to factor in the response of taxpayers to new policies. This reaction tends to induce Laffer-type outcomes that render the changes introduced partially or totally ineffective. In light of this observation we apprehend the reduction of tax revenues that resulted from the upwards tax equation of heating and fuel oil. The upwards tax equation led to the collapse of demand for heating oil, producing results similar to those instigated by the tax rates increase on alcohol and tobacco, which motivated increased smuggling activity.
However, the Greek restaurant industry provides perhaps the most evident example of how this adaptation happens. In September 2011, the VAT sales rate for restaurant services increased from 13% to 23%. In contrast to initial forecasts for 1 billion euros in additional tax revenue per annum, the tax rate increase yielded just 160 million euros. In August 2013, the rate was lowered back to 13%; again, contrary to predictions of 140 million euros in revenue loss, collected taxes declined by just 69 million euros until the end of the year. These large differences between forecasted and realized values imply that firms"adjust" the level of evasion to tax rate changes, and that policymakers continue to ignore this adaptation.
The study "VAT Rates and Tax Evasion: Evidence from the Restaurant Industry in Greece"1 examines the effect of VAT rate changes on tax evasion, by exploiting a unique macroeconomic setting, in which opportunities for tax shifting are very limited. In particular, the initial rate increase observed was implemented at the peak of the financial crisis (2011), thus significantly limiting the margin to pass the tax burden on consumer prices. Consequently, when the change was reversed in 2013, the effect on prices was also minimal, as restaurants had already absorbed the prior increase. As a result, the effect of the tax rate on evasion was to a great extent naturally isolated. In the study, changes in evasion are estimated by observing changes of the ratio of reported sales over reported inputs around tax shifts, using as the control group large fast-food restaurants, which record their sales mechanically.
Empirical findings indicate that changes in the VAT rate result in sizable and significant changes in under-reporting. Firms tend to increase under-reporting upon a tax rate increase, both due to greater motive to evade and due to lower probability of being detected. The reverse holds for tax rate reductions; firms increase compliance and "uncover" hidden sales. For the VAT rate decrease of 2013, we conservatively estimate the average reduction in under-reporting across industry to be around 12%. The effect is more pronounced for small firms that exhibit greater flexibility in under-reporting and firms will low percentage of alcoholic sales that are less exposed to policy changes. Similarly, the VAT rate increase resulted in an increase of under-reporting of at least 9%.
Figure 1: Sales Ratio and VAT Rate Reduction}
The graph presents the median percentage change of the Sales ratio (reported sales over reported inputs) for small and large firms, and the control group (large fast food restaurants).The rate decrease was implemented in August 2013 (Q3).
Turning to industry-wide figures, the VAT rate decrease was followed by a decline of just 69.8 million euros in tax revenues for the last six months of 2013 — almost half of the amount anticipated. The limited losses in VAT revenues are due to the increase in sales reporting (+15.2%), which predominately originates from small firms (+19.2%). Additionally, the overall cost of the rate reduction for the government budget becomes even smaller, if we consider the impact on direct taxes. Restaurants report an additional 352 million euros in sales for the last two quarters of 2013 compared to the previous year; even if a portion of this amount of "uncovered" sales, which do not involve additional production costs, is reflected on profits, then the additional direct taxes (given the 26% corporate tax rate) can offset the realized losses in VAT revenues.
The aforementioned results have direct implications for policymakers. In environments of pervasive evasion and in industries where enforcement is difficult, the increase of tax rates does not necessarily lead to higher revenues, as market participants adjust their evading activity to new conditions. In contrast, lowering tax rates tends to reduce under-reporting, which in turn limits the adverse effects on tax revenues. These effects are further amplified if we consider the impact of increased direct taxes that result from higher reported sales.
The (limited) final cost for the government budget should be weighted against the long-term benefits for the industry, which are generated by a reduced tax rate environment given the importance of the tourism sector for the Greek economy. A low tax rate is essential for the industry to remain competitive with respect to foreign peers; during the period of the high VAT rate (23%), restaurants in neighboring countries were subject to significant lower tax rates, ranging from 5.5% in France to 13% in Italy. Additionally, since a lower VAT rate is shown to increase compliance, it also improves horizontal equity and competitiveness within the industry. Thus, it creates a more friendly environment to entrepreneurship, which facilitates entry and motivates investment and employment in the sector.
Finally, the findings also indicate that enforcement is more challenging for small firms, which do not rely on paper-trail as intensively as larger firms. Thus, the pervasive nature of evasion seems to be related to market structure, at least partially. Even though under-reporting by entity might not seem important for small firms, evaded amounts become considerable in the aggregate, due to the high population of small establishments. Thus, enforcement efforts on indirect tax evasion should be focused where paper-trail intensity is low, via targeted audits directed by the use of ratios of economic activity (as the Sales ratio), as these prove highly effective in detecting non-compliance.

Open Thread: Talk About Sex & Love — No Conversation Is or Ever Will Be Off Limits Here
Here's your place to come talk about sex and love whenever you feel like it.
I recently met someone who didn't believe that two people should be in a singular, romantically faithful relationship.
"Wait, do you, like, believe in monogamy?" the girl asked, her voice drenched in skepticism. We'd just met that night and had been getting along really well until that point when it seems my penchant for having relationships that involved a singular partnership threw a wrench into our fledgling friendship.
She looked at me as though I had chosen to be Amish. Her expression said, Lady, they invented these things called "washing machines" and you're still out there scrubbing your clothes with a washtub and piece of plywood. "People aren't meant to be monogamous," she told me slowly, carefully, like she was explaining to a child the truth about Santa Claus. Well, we might not be meant for monogamy, I thought later. Fidelity has certainly has come up as a problem for nearly everyone I've known at some point. But then again, we probably are not meant to wear clothing made from plastic fibers nor jump out of airplanes for entertainment purposes, but somehow we've just evolved that way as a species. For better or worse we are inclined to do things that don't make much sense. I haven't brought this up before for fear of being deemed regressive and lame, but seeing as this woman already outed me, I might as well just come right out and say it -- I am just as mystified by her open relationships as she is of my closed-up ones. I'm certain that there are a lot of people who genuinely prefer to be with multiple partners and who can control their jealousy -- an instinct which, for me, would be more overwhelming than the ones that would lead me to have sex with multiple partners. I'm sure these people have reasons just as compelling, if not more, for keeping their relationships open. And they shouldn't have to explain them to me, someone who has never had, nor particularly wanted a non-monogamous relationship. I'm curious, though. If these situations are now so common that I'm being derided for wanting monogamy, I'd like to at least hear how they work because I don't quite understand, and I keep meeting people who think I should. So I'm asking you. Most of my real-world examples with people in open relationships have been when my women friends agree to it in order to keep their relationship going and in most of these instances, I can't help but think they are getting the raw end of the deal. The way I've seen it go down, one partner is getting the milk as well as the burger for free and all the other one getting is a lesson in patience and heartbreak.
I'm not saying they are all like this -- they couldn't be or I'd hope no one would want to be in one -- but the open relationships I've witnessed often seem to screw over the person who didn't initially suggest it. That person, in turn, is inclined to have meaningless flings, which he or she doesn't really even want, to prove that they are also utilizing the situation to their benefit.
If two people want to have separate sexual interests, I suppose I don't understand the point of being a committed relationship at all. Why not just be friends who have sex and sleepovers sometimes and stay single? What about the feelings of the new partners who are supposed to be OK with remaining on the emotional periphery? Love is complicated as it is and it is hard for me not to see the added complexity of multiple partners as a recipe for at least one if not multiple broken hearts. I think that our bodies were perhaps not meant to be with one person but personally, I believe that my mind is. Who knows what we are meant to do, who cares, I guess.
Actually, no I do. I'm totally interested and it is going to keep coming up so I should have a better perspective on the issue. I know that lots of people are in open relationships and that in many cases they do work out. I just haven't met an example of that. Has an open relationship worked for you? Are you honest-to-God not stomach sick to think of the person you love having sex with someone else? Am I going to get left behind because open relationships are the way of the future? Educate me please.

However, my main point to this post is caring for your skin. When I was younger I used to have the mindset that it didn't matter what my skin looked like because I could cover it with foundation and concealer, but as I get older this has definitely changed. I have now learned that as long as I care for my skin, a lot of the time I don't actually need to wear makeup. And the main point is realising that "caring for your skin" isn't at all time consuming like I always thought it was.
My "routine" consists of:
- Cleaning my face with a sensitive face wash cream - the one I use is Clean and Clear. I do this in my morning shower so it only takes a minute.
- Applying sensitive moisturiser once I am dry and dressed. I am currently using the Simple range.

After missing the 2012 season with torn triceps, 49ers outside linebacker Parys Haralson will take a significant pay cut to remain with the team, the NFL Network reported.
Haralson, 29, who was scheduled to earn a base salary of $2.57 million, will receive $1.3 million in 2012, with a chance to make an additional $400,000.
The restructured contract provides additional salary-cap room for San Francisco, which cut the 2013 salary of wide receiver Mario Manningham by $1.8 million last week. Manningham tore two knee ligaments on Dec. 23 and is not expected to be ready for the start of training camp.
Similarly, Haralson will take a pay cut after an injury marred season. Slated for a backup role behind Ahmad Brooks and Aldon Smith, Haralson sustained a torn triceps in the third preseason game at Denver and was placed on the season-ending injured-reserve list.
The 49ers signed linebacker Clark Haggans to fill the void, but the 13-year veteran only played 50 snaps last year. As a result, Brooks and Smith rarely came out of games: Both played more than 92 percent of San Francisco's defensive snaps.
After posting a career-high eight sacks in 2008, Haralson signed a four-year, $15 million extension. A fifth-round pick in 2006, he started 47 of 48 games from 2009-11.
In 2013, Haralson figures to fight for playing time with outside linebackers Darius Fleming and Cam Johnson, late-round picks in 2012 whose rookie seasons were derailed by knee injuries. The 49ers could also add to the position in free agency or with one of their 14 draft picks.

AWESOME Road Box
I am a first time buyer of the Montezuma LA400 box, but I will definitely be a repeat customer. I had always loved my Snap-On tool box in the shop but it was not easy to "gather" tools and head to a job site. I looked at road boxes from Mac, Snap-On... but couldn't justify the price for what you got. I knew about the Montezuma boxes but never looked at one. As I researched they had everything I was looking for, so I bought the 30" LA400 for SAE and metric. I couldn't be happier. Guys at work have used tools from my box over theirs because its easier to access and everything is right in front of you. I can pull out tools and put them back in half the time as a normal tool box. So much organization, and SPACE! Someone put a lot of thought into designing, but yet so simple. I have crossed paths with many people who inquire about the box, all have been impressed and complimented it. I have owned the tool box for 4 months, the new shiny paint has a few scuffs, so I am not giving it a great review because I have an impulsive "this is great, its new" feeling. The tool box rides around on a pick up at multiple sand and gravel pits that our company operates and seems to stand up to sand snow rain and rough roads no problem. We have multiple trucks, so when those tool boxes are due to replace, we will most likely put Montezuma's on them. Also want to give a shout out to the guys at Strictly tool boxes. They were very helpful in making sure I got the right product for the application I was looking for. Super fast communication and shipping also. Overall A+ experience! (Posted on 2/6/2018)

Great everything
Place order online before church on a Sunday Morning, Ready to Ship notice, Monday 9:30 am. Arrived Tuesday no damage.
There is way more space in this box than you can imagine with the lift up socket trays. Handles feel sturdy enough to handle it loaded.
Price was excellent especially considering the amount of organization and storage I got in a small foot print. (Posted on 9/1/2017)

Great for all
I am a full time diesel tech on cat heavy machinery I bought the tool box in order to open up some space in my main box and I built a cart to move it around its been great thus far I keep all of my basic tools in it. The only thing I'm bummed about is that I didn't take advantage of the huge deal on the 36" box (Posted on 1/15/2016)

30x19 item # MTZla400 box.
Purchasing the mtz-la400 allowed me to turn my "on road" service repair pick up truck into a more versatile vehicle again. I was able to take my many tools out of the contractor cap [which was mounted] on the back of my truck and put them into the MTZ-la400. Then I removed the contractor cap & as a result my vehicle is not limited to being simply a tool truck. I'm impressed! (Posted on 11/2/2014)

This is a great, roomy and secure toolbox, which holds a great quantity of tools, for our lease maintenance vehicle taking up minimal space on the truck bed. This box was purchased to replace a previous smaller version of the Montezuma portable box in order to give more storage space for the tools needed for the truck. (Posted on 9/26/2014)

RPI ends 3-game skid
Haggerty scores twice and has an assist to lead the Engineers' attack
The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute men's hockey team snapped a three-game losing streak with a 5-2 win over Mercyhurst College on Saturday in Erie, Pa.
The Engineers jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period on the strength of goals by Guy Leboeuf and Ryan Haggerty.
Mercyhurst answered with two goals in the second but another goal by Haggerty, this time on the power play, kept RPI ahead, 3-2, going into the third period, when the Engineers put the game away with two more goals while holding the Mercyhurst offense to just four shots on goal.
Haggerty ended the night with two goals, his 14th and 15th of the season, along with an assist, to lead the RPI attack. Goalie Scott Diebold stopped 23 of 25 shots, including 13 in the second period, and improved his record to 6-4-2 on the season.

Greg does his best to continue to be optimistic, hoping to be a groomsman paired with one of Gary's fiancée Sonja's cute bridesmaids. Greg's mom reminds him not to wipe away kisses from relatives because it is rude. Among his relatives present are Great Uncle Arthur, who makes strange sounds; Cousin Terrance, who looked exactly like Greg as a child; Uncle Charlie, who always has candy; and Sonja, who is clearly crazy about Gary. Gary hates staying at Gammies, because he always has to share a room with all the other single men. He ends up spending the night in the bathtub instead. While Greg loves Gammie, everything in Gammie's house is old-–including the candy she keeps, which Greg ate the previous year and got sick from.
Greg is stunned to learn that he will not be...

Looks amazing now, but this was a rusty metal desk with a rotten plywood top that had been forgotten in an outdoor storage building. Our southeast Texas, hot & humid weather is deadly to furniture!
And the chair?...well it was boring and old school brown.
But I had a vision, and a plan!
Here is the project story...
Hubby replaced a couple bad pallet boards, then the metal frame was sanded, primed and painted grey.
The worst and best idea I had for this project was adding the nail trim. Best because it looks farmhouse vintage cool! Worst because it was an absolute bear to hand hammer in 80 nails (yes I counted!) through the pallet boards. I forgot that pallets are usually made of HARD wood. My hands were in agony for days!
Hubby thinks I am a hoarder...haha!
I am possibly a teensy bit of a decorative hoarder which is VERY different than being a "real hoarder"!
Decided on white paint and a fun fabric...
I narrowed the seat fabric choice to two and took a family vote...the grey cheetah fabric won!
The window nook in what I named the "Galveston" guest room was a perfect fit for the newly up-cycled-desk & vintage chair.
I'm feeling a bit victorious after this up-cycling vintage makeover:) It is a splendid addition to the "Galveston guest suite" currently in decorative progress (more blog posts to come!)
Oh how I love up-cyled makeovers!
When I do these kinds of projects my mind turns to people. Some people are rusty due to neglect. Some people are rotten, I believe most often due again to neglect of love. Life can be brutally harsh kind of like our southeast Texas extreme heat and humidity...it takes a toll.
What these projects teach me is that love, time, and patience can renew, re-furbish, and give new life to something that has been left behind, put aside and neglected. Wouldn't the world be more beautiful if we put more effort into people?
I think of my own growing family and cannot bear the thought of any of them feeling unloved. Loving them is easy for me. More challenging is getting past my busy self and looking outside my circle for those that are neglected.
I have great respect for Mother Theresa who served some the most poverty stricken humans on the planet.
Her words are a call to rise up and love.
Just like the new love & care I gave to my rusty desk and unloved chair, I can do more of the infinitely important work of loving those around me.

Marjorie Kelly is the Senior Fellow and Executive Vice President of The Democracy Collaborative, a non-profit research organization founded in 2000. Marjorie is lead author of the new report, "A New Anchor Mission for a New Century: Community foundations deploying all resources to build community wealth," which profiles an "Innovative 30" community foundations pursuing impact investing and economic development strategies. The report was recently featured in Stanford Social Innovative Review, Forbes, and elsewhere. Marjorie is also a consultant with the current "Community Foundation Circle," a peer learning project for 14 foundations interested in adopting impact investing strategies.
Marjorie is Project Director of The Learning/Action Lab for Community Wealth Building, a year-long collaboration spearheaded by The Democracy Collaborative and supported by the Northwest Area Foundation. She is also an Associate Fellow at the Tellus Institute, a 35- year old nonprofit research organization based in Boston. Marjorie advises private businesses on ownership and capital design for social mission. Marjorie is also on the Advisory Board of Boston Public Bank Working Group. Additionally, she is on the National Board of Advisors for CUNY School of Law's Community Economic Development Clinic.
Marjorie is author of the book, Owning Our Future: The Emerging Ownership Revolution, released June 2012 by Berrett-Koehler. In it, she explores many experiments with new forms of ownership, which she calls generative: aimed at creating the conditions for life for many generations to come. To understand these emerging alternatives, Marjorie reports from all over the world, visiting a community-owned wind facility in Massachusetts, a lobster cooperative in Maine, a multibillion-dollar employee-owned department-store chain in London, a foundation-owned pharmaceutical in Denmark, a farmer-owned dairy in Wisconsin, and other places where a hopeful new economy is being built. Along the way, she finds the five essential patterns of ownership design that make these models work. And she explores how they may hold the key to the deep transformation that our civilization needs.
She specializes in ownership and financial design for the "mission-controlled enterprise," a term she devised to define the companies – including many large corporations in both the U.S. and Europe – that maintain a primary focus on social mission, even when they might be publicly traded. Marjorie is co-founder of Corporation 20/20, a multi-stakeholder initiative to envision and advocate enterprise and financial designs that integrate social, environmental, and financial aims. Over five years, this project brought together hundreds of thought leaders from business, finance, labor, government, law, and civil society for meetings, research, and two national conferences.
Marjorie also leads a variety of consulting and research projects in corporate social responsibility, rural development, and impact investing. She is a member of the resource team of the Ford Foundation project Wealth Creation in Rural Communities. As part of that project, she co-authored the reports Keeping Wealth Local: Shared Ownership and Wealth Control for Rural Communities, and Impact Investing for Rural Wealth Creation: Investing for Financial Returns and Community Impact. Also as part of that project, Marjorie is working with Emerging ChangeMakers of Mobile, Alabama, helping the group create a new rural impact investing fund and network for local wealth creation in the poorest counties of the state.
Marjorie was co-founder and for 20 years president of Business Ethics magazine, known for its annual ranking of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens and Social Investing Awards. She has experience working in many forms of ownership design, including cooperatives. She was president of the board of the William Street Grocery Cooperative, where she helped lead the store to double its size and revenue. She was also director of Great Neighborhoods Development Corporation, a nonprofit real estate developer in an under-served community of Minneapolis. She served on advisory boards for the Center for Corporate Governance and Accountability at George Washington University Law School, the Strategic Corporate Initiative, and other projects. Current Advisory Board memberships include the Donella Meadows Institute and Emerging ChangeMakers Network.
Her previous book, The Divine Right of Capital, was named one Library Journal's 10 Best Business Books of 2001. Marjorie's writings and op-eds have appeared in many publications, including Harvard Business Review, New England Law Review, Chief Executive, Boston Globe, Yes! Magazine and San Francisco Chronicle.
Marjorie is from a business family, where her grandfather founded Anderson Tool and Die from his Chicago basement during the Depression; her father founded and ran Graphic Engraving, a supplier to the printing trade, in Columbia, Missouri, where she grew up; and many of her uncles were also in business for themselves. She holds a bachelor's in English, cum laude, and a master's in journalism from the University of Missouri, where she received the Penney-Missouri Award for most promising young magazine journalist.
Strategies for Financing the Inclusive Economy
How can impact investors, family foundations, and financial institutions strategically leverage their investments toward solutions that help stem and reverse rising economic inequality? This new report from The Democracy Collaborative explores ways in which impact investors can help build an inclusive economy by accelerating the growth of broad-based ownership models—worker cooperatives, social enterprises, employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs), hybrid enterprises, and municipal enterprise.
Cities Building Community Wealth
A New Anchor Mission for a New Century: Community foundations deploying all resources to build community wealth
It was in 2005 that the highly regarded Monitor Institute report declared that the field of community foundations was "On the Brink of New Promise," and in the decade since, there have been countless working groups and initiatives to introduce innovative approaches to the field. At the same time, largely beneath the radar, a small but growing group has begun pursuing the innovative path we explore here. Mostly in small steps—but sometimes in larger ways—they are adopting elements of what could emerge as a new anchor mission to deploy all resources to build community wealth.

Owning Our Future: The Emerging Ownership Revolution
As long as businesses are set up to focus exclusively on maximizing financial income for the few, our economy will be locked into endless growth and widening inequality. But now people across the world are experimenting with new forms of ownership, which Kelly calls generative: aimed at creating the conditions for all of life to thrive for many generations to come. These designs may hold the key to the deep transformation our civilization needs.
To understand these emerging alternatives, Kelly reports from across the globe, visiting a community-owned wind facility in Massachusetts, a lobster cooperative in Maine, a multibillion-dollar employee-owned department-store chain in London, a foundation-owned pharmaceutical in Denmark, a farmer-owned dairy in Wisconsin, and other places where a hopeful new economy is being built.

Living Enterprise as the Foundation of a Generative Economy
Guest Essay in The Systems View of Life: A Unifying Vision, by Fritjof Capra and Pier Luigi Luisi (Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2014).
"What kind of economy is consistent with living inside a living being?" This was a question posed to us under a leafy canopy, deep in the woods of southern England, not far from Schumacher College where I'd come as a teacher. I stood listening with a group of students as resident ecologist Stephan Harding posed what for me would become a pivotal question – the only question there is, really, as we negotiate the turn from the industrial age into an entirely new age of civilization.
Keeping Wealth Local: Shared Ownership and Wealth Control For Rural Communities
Resources do not represent community wealth unless communities own and control them. This handbook looks at various kinds of shared ownership, including cooperatives, employee ownership, community land trusts, municipal ownership, local and tribal ownership, mission-controlled ownership, and community covenants and easements. Each section looks at strengths, weaknesses, the range of applications, expertise required, and sources of assistance.

Tired of deals like the one proposed with Foxconn? There is a better wayJournal Sentinel
Marjorie Kelly writes for Wisconsin Sentinel about how to create good local jobs in places like Wisconsin through worker coops.
Also troublesome is the abysmal labor record of Foxconn, exemplified by scores of workers committing suicide on their brutal iPhone assembly lines in China. Foxconn also has failed to deliver on similar deals in India, Vietnam and Pennsylvania. It's worth asking, who really benefits from this use of state tax dollars? It's not the residents of the state, but instead the absentee owners of this Taiwanese company.

The Hidden Threat of Tax Cuts to Equitable Economic DevelopmentRooflines
Although the Trump administration's recent budget proposal offers only a look at expenses, with no numbers on revenue, it won't be long before massive cuts to corporate taxes are on the agenda, as Trump has promised. Before the noise machine ramps up on that issue, it's an apt time to stop and consider the unintended consequences such tax breaks could have. The hidden danger in broad cuts to the corporate tax rate is this: these cuts would blunt the effectiveness of key policies designed to support communities and an inclusive economy...read more

How to Make Your Own Tonic Water
Tonic water may be something you don't often wonder about, but you likely enjoy it all the same. If you would like to recreate it on your own, like many Minnesota culinary schools do, then here is a closer look at this versatile liquid.
Tonic water originated in England about one hundred and fifty years ago. Tonic water is supposed to impart heath and vigor upon those who drink it. You likely most often encounter it when it is added to alcoholic drinks like gin and vodka. Generally, tonic water is supposed to contain the bark of the cinchona tree and contains a substance called quinine which has also historically been used to fight malaria. This is how it acquired the name we now know it is as today - "tonic water." In today's marketplace, tonic water is commercially available but you can make your own at home if you feel like taking a bit of a challenge. Who knows, if you enjoy making things like this you may have a future at one of the many Minnesota culinary schools or perhaps another culinary college.
Quinine is bitter in taste and hence sweet sugary syrup has to be added to soften the bitter taste of quinine. Often lime and lemon juice are both added to make the tonic water more palatable and healthy as well. Lemon contains citric acid and Vitamin C. In fact, all citrus fruits contain Vitamin C and hence it makes the tonic water more beneficial to health.
Making your own tonic water is fun but it will require a bit of culinary creativity, like the type you find in Minnesota culinary schools.
You can start by taking one full glass of clean water. You can add some lemon juice to it. Make sure that you squeeze a good-sized lemon and remove the seeds before doing so. Some people prefer to add orange juice instead. You can even add some ginger to it. Ginger powder is available in any large retail store. The powder dissolves easily. Ginger is said to have good therapeutic value. The most important part of the tonic water is the bark of the cinchona tree. This bark should be cut up in little pieces. Sometimes even ground bark can be added. This makes it easier to dissolve in water. Now, add some lemon grass. Again, you can cut up the stem into little pieces.
You can add a few bits of cardamom after opening them. Finally add some citric acid. It is widely available at any chemist's shop. Now take the mixture in a deep pan and allow the mixture to boil for a few minutes. Then allow the mixture to cool before adding some sugary syrup to it. Let this mixture be heated at a low heat for several minutes. Do not stir the mixture.
Finally, let the mixture cool for a while. This will allow the tonic water to remain preserved for a long time. If you store it in a refrigerator, it can last well over a month.
These days the bark of the cinchona tree is replaced with chemically available quinine capsules. This is because finding the bark of the cinchona tree is not easy. Adding over the counter quinine capsules works just as well, although it is somehow not the same thing. You can vary the ingredients a little. For instance, you can forget the cardamom and replace it with cloves or an all spice powder. You can even use soda water instead of plain water. Instead of the syrup, you can even try using pure honey. It works well as a sweetener.

In what circumstances would real-time body growth occur? Say, for example, the lengthening of limbs and the skull?
The growth of colloidal nanocrystal architectures by nanoparticle attachment is frequently reported as an alternative to the conventional growth by monomer attachment. However, the mechanism whereby nanoparticle attachment proceeds microscopically remains unclear. We report real-time transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging of the solution growth of Pt3Fe nanorods from nanoparticle building blocks. Observations revealed growth of winding polycrystalline nanoparticle chains by shape-directed nanoparticle attachment followed by straightening and orientation and shape corrections to yield single-crystal nanorods. Tracking nanoparticle growth trajectories allowed us to distinguish the force fields exerted by single nanoparticles and nanoparticle chains. Such quantification of nanoparticle interaction and understanding the growth pathways are important for the design of hierarchical nanomaterials and controlling nanocrystal self-assembly for functional devices.
I had a similar experience, only more drastic. I was 6'1" by the time I got of 8th grade and by my Junior year of high school I was 6'4". Now...right after I graduated I suddenly shot up from where I was to 6'11" in literally 2 months which caused me a lot of health problems at the time. I've always ate a lot of junk food but never gained any weight...Maybe I do have "alien DNA".

I completely understand how human growth works.
But the thing is, I'm wondering whether outrageously rapid growth and development of the human body could occur in a matter of minutes (forgetting about the alien DNA part) - say for example, the changes seen in the doctor infected by the goo in Prometheus or the growing of Keanu Reeves in "The Day the Earth stood still"...

How exactly would it be possible to grow three feet in a month??
For example, for their bones and muscles to grow right before your very eyes - how would that work? How would that be scientifically possible?

To The Skies From A Hillside is the first single from Maybeshewill's third album to coincide with their UK and Europe through October and November.
Maybeshewill are a British instrumental band based in Leicestershire. The band is comprised of James Collins (Drums), Robin Southby (Guitar, Keyboards, Programming)and John Helps (Guitar, Keyboards). When they tour they are joined by Jamie Ward (Bass)...
Maybeshewill have toured the UK with And So I Watch You From Afar, Worriedaboutsatan, Fight Fire With Water and Cats and Cats and Cats, toured Russia and Japan, played with everyone from Foals to Johnny Truant, This Will Destroy You, 65daysofstatic and Amusement Parks On Fire, played the Dot To Dot, 2000trees, Truck, Hockley Hustle, Summer Sundae, Off The Cuff and Brainwash Festivals
There must be something in the Post-Rock Code (if the Pirates can have one, then why not post-rockers?) about being hard working and patient, for like ascendant post-rockers du-jure 65daysofstatic, Maybeshewill have been tirelessly but quietly (then loudly, then quietly, then in a strange time signature) working their way into a revered cult position which takes them far outside the confines of Leicester, not a town usually known for sonic experimentation.
With this, their first release in over a year, they've put their best foot forward, attempting to drum up excitement for a coinciding tour. It's a beguiling piece of intertwined guitar-lines and electronic experimentation, melodic to the last and very well produced. Each layer of noise sits atop its forbears with growing majesty as it runs its course. Why is it that instrumental music always has me reaching for the 'elemental' metaphors? Well, fine. Forget the metaphors. It's a really fantastic track, and that's why you should listen to it.
If you prefer the romance of discovering a band while they are relatively unknown to the greater world, then hurry up and see Maybeshewill now, because it is only a matter of time before they break into the mainstream music conscience.
There is no more auspicious time to see the Leicester-based trio than the present, given that the release of a new single last week through Field Records coincides with with a tour seeing the band venture all over the UK this month and Europe in November.
The group formed five years ago, producing a unique brand of atmospheric post-rock. There are similarities to Monograph favourite Codes In The Clouds, but Maybeshewill - a name which the band describe as "a string of pleasant sounding syllables with no intrinsic meaning" - have a much darker and heavier inclination.
maybeshewill coverart Maybeshewill | To the Skies from a HillsideLatest single To The Skies From A Hillside will feature on their currently untitled third LP and fittingly represents the band at their best: uncompromising and powerful. Sombre guitar chords and keyboard parts build a moody vibe which boils over into unhinged fury only to be reined in by tasteful refrains and careful attention to dynamics. The overall effect is, for want of a less bastardised descriptor, epic. Their previous work, including two full length EPs which won critical acclaim from sources as prestigious as Kerrang, is equally impressive. Expert musicianship is tangible to the listener and central to their appeal, with intricate drum patterns and innovative time signatures interwoven with consummate ease. Programming also plays an important role, with strings and vocal samples supplementing their distinctive sound.
Away from the music itself, a crammed touring schedule, a superfluity of nicely produced tracks and an embracing attitude towards social media demonstrate the professionalism and ambition of the band fully capable of realising its potential, but this is also testament to their instrumental skill and ability write hard-hitting songs which speak to people. What is astonishing, given the high quality of recording and production afforded to each of their tracks, is the fact they record and mix their material, even choosing to bill themselves as " DIY instrumental band". The new EP will be the first where they have actually opted for studio time rather than rehearsal rooms or bedrooms for recording sessions, although it is still self-recorded.
There is ample opportunity to check the band out this month, as chances are they will be visiting a town near you. That way you can have bragging rights in a couple of years time. To get your hands on a copy of this great track please visit the Field Records shop.

Hey Loves!!
Today we're happy to be part of the cover reveal for Blurred (Kissed by Death #2) by Tara Fuller.
Look at it, isn't it perfect? I love the leather bracelets in his arm. And the whole cover looks so pretty.. we love it...
And there's more, enter the raffle for the chance to win the very FIRST eARC of Blurred!
And there's more, enter the raffle for the chance to win the very FIRST eARC of Blurred!
So here it is!
Cash is haunted by things. Hungry, hollow things. They only leave him alone when Anaya, Heaven's beautiful reaper, is around. Cash has always been good with girls, but Anaya isn't like the others. She's dead. And with his deteriorating health, Cash might soon be as well.
Anaya never breaks the rules, but the night of the fire she recognized part of Cash's soul—and doomed him to something worse than death. Cash's soul now resides in an expired body, making him a shadow walker—a rare, coveted being that can walk between worlds. A being creatures of the underworld would do anything to get their hands on.
The lines between life and death are blurring, and Anaya and Cash find themselves falling helplessly over the edge. Trapped in a world where the living don't belong, can Cash make it out alive?
About Tara:
Tara Fuller writes novels. Some about grim reapers. Some about witches. All of course are delightfully full of teen angst and kissing. Tara grew up in a one stop light town in Oklahoma where once upon a time she stayed up with a flash light reading RL Stine novels and only dreamed of becoming a writer. She has a slight obsession with music and a shameless addiction for zombie fiction, Mystery Science Theater, and black and white mochas. Tara no longer lives in a one stop light town. Now she lives with her family in a slightly larger town in North Carolina where they have at least three stoplights.
And enter the giveaway below!
