LANCE HAHN, the late singer-songwriter of the anarcho post-pop punk band J Church (pictured) is an undiscovered gem of social conservatives. As conservatism becomes the new radicalism it ought not to be surprising that such sentiments bubble up from the most radical and anti-establishment of music genres. The refreshing cynicism of "Analysis, yes, very nice" inspired this little rant. Enjoy the lyrics if not the article.
I have long thought that the progressive liberalism in Scotland and Canada are remarkable in their similarity despite no obvious connection in terms of philosophy. It is almost as if very similar pressures forced a convergent evolution of the Trudeau and Davidson/Dugdale brands of centrism now entrenching ever more into Westminster.
Some basic psychoanalysis suggests to me what we are seeing is not originality or progress but instead, regional reactions of a slave-morality linked to the decline of the twin pillars of Western tradition, namely England and New England.
A very narrow band of philosophies intertwined in the USA and British Empires to create quite an incredible world in terms of freedom, wealth and technological advance. As socialism in the West and the rise of capitalism in Asia have taken their toll on western economic prestige maybe whole regions and nations are taking an anti-oedipal turn. Not content with individuals turning from marriage and family during the counterculture of the 60s the new left is now steering entire body politics in this direction.
Feminisation of every sex, simple presentation of memes and themes as bodies of substance, the attack of the patriarch and a tradition by proxy is now in essence government policy.
Where the nation must naturally excel, in national defence, in the satisfaction of realistic demands of people by the national economy is conveniently excused in Scotland and Canada by convergence trends of devolution in the UK and the hyperreality of global trade and NAFTA in Canada. In both nations the economy is so extremely dependent on external bodies that responsibility for economic prosperity becomes a given negative. Namely, the neighbour can and is increasingly blamed for shortcomings at home by governments that increasingly focus solely on domestic policies.
What are British and American governing philosophies based on? Individual freedom to thrive as families, wealth creation and retention, social conservatism based upon Christianity.
With western economies now wracked with debt and shrinking their militaries what do these once great neighbours bring to our table? And what do the journalists and politicians of these once great nations now see in their smaller neighbours?
I suggest politicians in Scotland and Canada are not global in their outlook but actually are deglobalising. This is in part because their larger neighbours are themselves less influential in the world. They are increasingly antagonistic towards them economically because this is the only way they explain poor economic performance at home. Neither Scotland nor Canada operate independent economies in any serious way.
Does anyone in England give a toss about the NHS in Scotland? Does anyone in Alberqueque care about how Canada manages its pension system? No. The soft bigotry of low expectations and disinterest from great nations – and the externalised frustrations of the smaller neighbours – leads to a curious narrative.
Canada and Scotland make a big fuss over many, oh so many, socially progressive movements precisely because neither the movements nor the nations matter all that much. There is no downside regionally or internationally if these nations mess up in any serious way. No risk in the long term for the short term reward of holding a Solero on a mechanical bull or dressing up in silly costumes. No one cares.
Meanwhile the evil Americans and British, with their silly traditions, are only ever holding everyone else back.
Vanguard strawmen causes pop up outrage and expire as fast. Rape clause, bedroom tax, transgender dishcloths, chlorine in oor chicken. What inspires such a political culture that everything is as disposable as plastic cutlery and the making the TV or front page is the name of the game?
What drives us to a politics of the banal, the venal, the extrovert and the childless? What has us wave any flag in the air and grimace at our own?
Progressivism is the gentle art of believing in absolutely nothing so why not just crack on and enjoy the day today? Capitalism, Nationalism, Socialism all blend together here to create false victories and lead us by competing ideologies to self indulgence and the pursuit of personal euphoria amongst our peers.
The elderly? Meh. Unplanned children? Abort, they're no fun. Long-term economic growth? Why bother when we've peaked but can still borrow for another generation to pay that I won't have a stake in. Culture? Why bother when you can have fun. Why develop responsibilities together to build a future when you can play the zero sum game of knowing your rights today...
Yep. It's miserable. The happy clappy parade of devolution style identity politics in Canada and Scotland is borne of something rather dark, a decline in the expectations of great Western nations to lead the way.
Compare this with the Sinosphere nations, where a booming China is breathing national fervour and pride in Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, and yes even Australia. What was black and white is now sublime unless we look closely and ask questions.
What can we do to restore our own future? We should start with our own families and our family of nations.
We need serious and aggressive unionism in Scotland and Canada, not to mention Ireland. A unionism that cherishes the concept of a New West: that there is a natural and political symbiosis and common culture between the Anglosphere and the European Single Market (that was forged largely on Anglospheric traditions.)
Canada must stop accepting low expectations from other others and take a bigger stake in global security. Holyrood needs to drop the Kool Aid and accept the only way it can thrive now is to ensure the British Union is strong and based on the people of these islands and not esoteric causes dreamt up by academics. We have to elect and value people who believe in themselves and their nation in the long term and junk the concept of politics for the moment a if it were a personalised fast moving consumer good and not the means to renew our country.
Leaving the single market needs framed so that the UK is in essence moving back into its own half of a common pitch and this represents too great a loss so long as the small and great nations of the Anglosphere and Europe reject any mutual antagonism. The West must create a new sense of economic prosperity, military security and create a sense of hope and optimism in the future. Banal vulgarity that strives for "progress" must be moderated by rational delayed discounting, that is, we must base decisions on the long term consequences of change whether there should be change and for this we have to expect our future to be bright all things being equal, there must be a sense of potential loss if we screw up.
J Church – "Analysis, Yes, Very Nice"
It's simplistic presentation,
Your caustic realization,
Motivation in TV screens,
Vanguards built deliberately,
Feminization on every sex,
Stop, go back, re-read the test,
Feminization on every sex,
You're the anti-Oedipus
Who's remapping moral highways,
New speed limits you crave,
You think you're transforming infinity,
You're just lost in hyper-reality
What was easy to define now becomes so sublime,
What was easy to define you can dismiss as political lies
What was easy to define now becomes so sublime,
What was easy to define you can dismiss as political lies
Sweetest dreams, now go to sleep,
You've dug yourself too deep,
To summize, at all, morality,
Re-write your personality,
Analysis, yes, very nice,
It's changing almost every night,
Analysis, yes, very nice,
Maybe on some other night

Unemployment causes NYC mayor to worry about riots
When riots broke out this summer in England, the analysis of the cause was split between those who saw the violence as acts of personal irresponsibility and those who put the blame on social inequities. Not surprisingly, the Prime Minister and other office holders blamed poor upbringing as the culprit. Parents, they said, have reared … Continue reading

Today's Tutorial: Painting on metal
Metal elements are hot in Scrapbooking these days and I am addicted to painting them. My current favourite technique is to paint them a nice silvery colour with some blue and green patina style accents. It's super easy.
I like to use Distress Paint in Brushed pewter as a base coat (especially nice if your metal is too dark for your project). Then I let it dry, you can heat it with a heat too but keep it well above the metal as it will bubble and leave a bumpy texture. Next, I apply Glimmer Glaze in the colour "All That Jazz", it's nice brilliant blue and looks great over the metallic Distress paint. Finally a few drops of Glimmer Glaze in "Sea Kelp" provides a nice contrast, this colour is really dark so I usually add just a few drops and spread it with a dry brush. (Glimmer Glaze is a sticky, translucent enamelish paint, reminiscent of nail polish. Use with good ventilation.)
Here's a few examples of some I have done in the past: (click on image to it larger)
I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial! Thanks for reading!!

A glorious Easter Sunday dictates sunnier spring climes and a look to the future. I hope the weekends festivities have not left you longing for more, but have rather sated the deficit of Lent. I am pleased to announce that I succeeded in my aim - not a single (nor pair) of shoes were purchased in the last six weeks, and too did I abstain from overindulging my appetite.
But of course I am now free to invest in the perfect pair of shoes, and indulge to my heart's content.
There is no doubt in my mind that I shall have a spending frenzy when in Rome, for 'when in Rome...'
I have not seen the blonde Esquire for a few days - he was called away to a wedding and I was uninvited. A little put out is all I shall say on the matter, for I know it was out of his control to invite me. And after our rather frank discussion the other day there is no doubt in our minds that marriage is a long way off.
To think that the basis of this relationship started with the bluntest of proposals - albeit a tryst to engage in a rather intrepid game of lies and deceit - has come full circle. I have fallen for him, I do love him, and here I am having to wait for the blonde Esquire's career and life long opportunities to be over before I am put first.
I think I'd worry about it less if I had a goal of my own... I can play the piano, sing and sew, I love children and teaching and am willing to have open discussions about politics. I can make people feel comfortable in any situation and I know how to host a Ball that will be talked about for years to come... But what can I do?
While the blonde Esquire still has a month before he becomes a man at arms and languishes in my bed, I have little time to think of my own future. But I know once he leaves that idle hands are the devil's play thing, and I do not want to succumb to the temptations of the flesh. Therefore, I need a goal. I am ambitious, I want more... But that 'more' has no definition, and I do not currently know how to find it.
I'm hoping that Rome shall be my inspiration... Or indeed if anyone wants to include me in their plans, I'd be most grateful.

West Hollywood has two Whole Foods locations not to far from each other. I have found that the location on West 3rd has more vegan options. This Whole Foods has a hot bar, salad bar, bakery case ( normally with vegan cookies, pastries, and breads), a chinese bar, Sushi, and coffee area; they also serve as a full service grocery and body store! Im writing this specific post to bring light to the $5.99 hot bar Wednesdays. The Salad/Hot bar is normally $7.99/pound but on Wednesday's it is now $5.99- woot woot! I made me a lovely salad from the "Salad Bar" ($5.99/pound {$7.99}} Fresh Spinach, Kale, and Romaine Leaves topped with Quinoa, Garbanzos, Fresh Veggies, Berries, and Dried Fruit, with Diced Seitan. Served with a Acai Berry Dressing. One reason I really enjoy Whole Foods is because you can get a HUGE variety of fresh food for a pretty reasonable price ( especially on Wednesday). Always a fan of Whole Foods, be sure to check it out on a Wednesday for a good deal!! Eat Clean!
Peace, Love, and Vegan Food,

J.D Gross Dark Chocolate Sea Salt (Lidl)
I always love trying a new chocolate bar, if it's new then chances are it's going in my basket...and when I saw this new J.D Gross Sea Salt Dark Chocolate in Lidl it was no exception. This costs £1.29, contains 56% cocoa solids and is dairy free, so is suitable for those who are vegan, although it may contain traces of milk, nuts and soya.
I do love the blocks on J.D Gross bars, they're so stylish and look extra special. Opening the foil wrapper, the chocolate had a pleasant semisweet aroma.
And it tasted lovely! I almost mistook it for milk chocolate as it's so sweet, but this isn't a bad thing at all...it's quite smooth and somehow the addition of the 0.5% sea salt brings out the smoothness more. It compliments the sweetness and lifts what otherwise might have been an average dark chocolate bar.
Overall, this is a surprisingly tasty new bar from J.D Gross/Lidl and one I would buy again if I'm passing by. It's always nice to get more variety of dairy free chocolates too!
8.5 out of 10.

Will Believing In The Dogma Of Working Hard Help You In Succeeding In The Internet Marketing Arena?
There are quite some ideas flying around in the internet and especially in the field of internet marketing and internet money generation concerning the necessity of working hard. Some say it is more important to work smart than to work hard, and of course there is this huge group of beings promoting that hard work is not necessary at all.
Before we dive deeper into the subject, I think it is important to bring the question to the foreground, what work, or hard work really means? What is the overall accepted definition of "hard work"?
Definition Of Hard Work
Asking this question we come to the pretty fascinating answer that there is no common definition of "work" at all. Well – to be precise – there are some rough definitions that are in smaller or bigger quantities accepted by most people, and that would be something like: Doing something for others, would be considered work, doing something in order to make money could be considered work, or doing something I do not want to do, can also be considered work.
Of course, it is often hard to seperate and classify your actions precisely, so it might be hard to really categorize your doings into work and no-work.
Holding this in the background of your mind, that we have problems really knowing what "work" is, it will be very hard to come to a consensus whether hard work is required in order to achieve internet marketing success, or not.
Action Vs. Head Work
I would tend more in the direction that work is required in achieving your desired outcomes, but writing this, I need to open up another dimension of the definition of the words "hard work". And this level is the mental arena. Because work can be done with your head and of course with your hands, but the far more effective work, is the one you do with your head, by thinking in the right way and getting to the conclusion that if you do not do the mental work, there will not be enough action in the world to make up for that.
Many so called leaders out there will make you want to believe that work is about the action, because they want you to do the things for them. I believe it is really far more about the thinking and feeling, and not the action part. Action might be part of the whole thing, but I think it is not the most important part, just a supplement.
Work And Effort
After all, what is really important to consider, is that you hardly get to an effortless state through effort. So, if you desire to get to a more effortless state with the help of your internet marketing career and business, be aware now not to effort too much, because this way of reaching your aim of a joyful, free, easy and effortless life is going to be really hard.
Utilizing Technology And System Work
Another great thing concerning work in the internet marketing branch is, that there are many systems and great technology involved, that if utilized properly will get a lot of work done for you. So also work is most likely required, due to the help of technology and smart systems, it should not be necessary to work hard anymore.
There is nothing wrong with working hard and taking lots of action, although it should always be monitored whether hard work and effort really produces the desired results. Because at the end of the day it is not the hard work, or the action that matters, but the results that are created for you, in terms of new sign-ups, leads and/ or money generated through your internet marketing approach.

About Peranakan Ware:
'Exuberant', 'Ornate', 'Vibrant' are some of the terms used to describe Peranakan Chinese porcelain, a type of over glazed polychrome enamelled porcelain made to order in a variety of functional forms at the Jingdezhen kilns in China in the mid-1900s to early 2000s for the exclusive use of Straits Chinese or Peranakan Chinese community in the Malay Peninsula and Singapore.
Sometimes called Nyonya wares after the Nyonyas, the womenfolk of the Straits Chinese, who commissioned the wares, the porcelain was primarily ordered and reserved for use for festive occasions and for special functions such as weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries. They were thus decorated with suitable Chinese motifs symbolising marital harmony and longevity.
It was not only fashionable but also a status symbol amongst the Peranakans in the Straits Settlements to own elaborately composed and matching wares, some for serving meals, others for serving tea, and yet others for ceremonial functions. People who could afford such finery lived in style in grand houses.

National charity, Career Ready, is asking the capital's employers to open their doors to young people and take part in the largest employer engagement event of its kind.
On Thursday 7 December, students from across England, Wales and Northern Ireland will visit London to attend A Capital Experience – the annual launch of the Career Ready programme, pjreparing young people for the world of work.
In the afternoon, students from more than 200 schools and colleges will visit one of the capital's workplaces to get their first glimpse of the world of work. Career Ready is calling on London's employers to host a school or college for a few hours in the afternoon.
Hosting a workplace visit is a simple, but effective, way of bridging the gap between education and the world of work, and can help students to realise the incredible possibilities that are out there for them. Hearing students' reactions to your familiar day-to-day environment can make you see your own business in a new light.
Employers who have already agreed to host visits include: DHL, Freshfields, Arcadis, Network Rail, Moodys, Aon and BP.
Before visiting an employer, students will come together at The Dominion Theatre to hear from previous Career Ready students and be inspired by motivational speaker Action Jackson. For more information about last year's event, click here.
For more information, or to get involved, contact Yvonne Plows, Career Ready Events Manager.

Government bailouts have been few and far between in recent decades, but the savings and loan industry bailout of the late 1980s was particularly expensive, costing U.S. taxpayers some $200 billion.
As Diana Olick reports, there is now growing talk on Capitol Hill about taking steps to help subprime mortgage borrowers. Three Democratic senators -- Charles Schumer and Hillary Clinton of New York and Christopher Dodd of Connecticut -- have joined community activities in proposing some kind of help to consumers in the wake of the borrowing binge
According to the latest data, some 13% of all subprime loans were delinquent in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Sen. Schumer, in particular, is calling for a relief fund, saying the federal government needs to help people at the "losing end of this mess."
Some lenders, whose bottom lines have been pressured by the subprime mess, are also taking steps, working to refinance subprime mortgages, the large majority of which were refinancings in the first place.
Lisa Rice, National Fair Housing Alliance VP and Todd Sinai, University of Pennsylvania Wharton School associate professor of real estate discuss the bailout issue with Sue Herera.
Rice says the federal governent did not do enough in making sures regulators adequately monitored lending activities, adding that many consumers were not givien full information and were thus caught unaware.
Sinai agrees that more could have been done to prevent fraud and predatory practices and that helping thopse victims might be appropriate but the federal government should not bailout those borrowers who knew the terms and knowingly took the risk.
"We run a real risk of bailing out peole for taking risk," says Sinai "The incentives are very perverse."

United Nations Development Programme
The eighth Kosovo Human Development Report tackles the challenging linkages between migration and human development. The report analyses the impact of migration on demography, economy, social inclusion, education, health (-care) and public participation.
The report proposes a "three-dimensional" LHDI, which reflects the philosophy of the global HDI. The LHDI differs from the HDI in the particular sub-indices used and in the different measurements available in public statistics or administrative sources.
The Kosovo HDR 2012 focuses on the linkages between human development and private sector expansion showing that private sector growth is intricately connected with Kosovo's social context and that it needs to be built from a much wider and fairer base than currently to unleash the real potential
The Report examines traditional socio-economic indicators, from poverty and unemployment to health and education, from the perspective of social inclusion.
After a close look at what we mean when we say "civil society" and what we mean when we say "development," the report goes on to explore the history of civil society in Kosovo, its legal context, and ways it can influence public policy.
This report presents the first study undertaken on the impacts of energy on human development in Kosovo.
The new report provides an excellent opportunity to deepen our understanding of human development and how it applies to Kosovo. Whilst the first report established a base-line, the second report explored in greater detail the differences in development in Kosovan population.
The main goal of Uzbekistan's 1998 report is to analyze the role of the state in economic, social and democratic reforms in the period of transition. The report looks at the social polices being implemented throughout the country with programs on gas.
The 1998 Ukraine HDR covers human development in general. Ukraine's performance is discussed and compared to other countries and the HDI is presented by regions.
The report reviews the issues of social and economic reform, analyzes positive and negative trends in the development of the economy and considers the role of the state in managing the reforms.

As a companion to their editorial-style print ads, Prime TV collaborated with DRAFTFCB ad agency, Auckland on a naughty outdoor billboard campaign for the British TV show Secret Diary of a Call Girl.
Just like the subtle editorial ads, the billboards seem innocent at first, showing a formally dressed woman with grocery bags. But once the wind blows, the skirt is blown away revealing super hot underwear with a bundle of money attached to the sexy stockings.
I love how the billboards give you the feeling of a privileged sneak-peak under the woman's clothes, which is exactly what the show is about: a look into the secret life of a real call girl.
As with the print campaign, the billboards were created by creative director James Mok, art director Dave Brady and photographer Craig Owen.
The skirt idea was used in a different context by lingerie store Busto, illustrating that you always need to wear nice undies. Check out the Secret Diary of a Call Girl print ads and more butt-inspired billboards:
