This week, the CSRG will be discussing an interview with Lawrence Grossberg featured on the Critical Lede podcast. In this interview, Dr. Grossberg discusses his new book Cultural Studies in the Future Tense which makes a critical evaluation of contemporary cultural studies practices and suggests ways in which the discipline might develop to address the challenge of framing a leftist politics and the project of imagining alternatives to what Grossberg calls the dominant Euro-modernity.
The reading group will meet this Thursday, April 7 at 4:30 in CNH 332. We will also be deciding which chapters of the collection The Idea of Communism we will be discussing in upcoming sessions. Hope to see you there!

Anyone know a good printer company in london for printing zines?
My g/f is seeking the above and since there has been some zine chat on here i thought someone might know these things. I don't have a clue about zines but she says she's having some trouble finding a suitable company. She wants newsprint quality. So... thanks for your help!
You could try contacting Organ magazine:
Personally I think doing something in print compared to online is a sure fire way to have very little cash.

The Londoners who happened to be watching the special BBC show on 9 April 1956, featuring an Indian magician, were left aghast at the sight of a woman being cut in half. Due to time constraints, the show was taken off air almost abruptly—right after the severing act had taken place, but before the trick was finished and the woman returned to her original, singular form. As a result, the BBC was flooded with letters and calls of complaint. The viewers wanted to know if the woman subjected to the blade was really no more. It was only the following day, after local newspapers carried headlines like "The girl is alive", that calm was restored. One of the reports carried a reassuring quote by Dipti Dey, the woman in question: "So, I'm all in one piece. I'm happy, alive and well—and I look forward to being cut in half again."
But the real highlight of the show wasn't Dey, or the outraged BBC viewers. It was an unknown magician from India, named Protul Chandra Sorcar, who became an international sensation after this event. "The incident made Sorcar famous overnight," recalls his son Prodip Chandra Sorcar, popularly known as P.C. Sorcar Junior, one of whose own trademark tricks is "Cutting a Lady in Half", which he inherited from his father.
Sorcar Jr. has recently written his father's biography, entitled The Maharaja of Magic, which gives us the inside story of India's most distinguished family of magicians. Sorcar Jr. himself is the eighth generation practitioner in this lineage, and now the baton is carried forward by a member of the ninth generation: his daughter, Maneka.
"When I was quite young," Sorcar Jr. tells Guardian 20. "I used to think that I have two fathers—one P.C. Sorcar, the magician, and another, my Baba. I was totally enamoured by P.C. Sorcar. He was an idol and an omnipotent phenomenon for me. But, I was not very fond of Baba. He used to ask questions like, 'Why are you walking barefoot?' 'Where are your slippers?' 'Have you completed your studies?' These daily questions annoyed me." He adds, with a laugh, "Who likes that?"
Still, the young Prodip looked up to his father. And when the time came, he did his best to be able to step into his shoes. The most important lesson that the father imparted to the son was that there was nothing "magical" about magic. That it was all rooted in the natural, observable world. And that to learn the art of magic, you had to master its craft.
"The first thing I learned about my father was that he was not a supernatural being," Sorcar Jr. says. "He showcased the magical world through science."
There were no mantras. No holy fire. There was absolutely nothing related to superstition that the father passed on to the child. Instead, it was the love for science that was instilled in the young Sorcar. "I started respecting science, I started learning it. I thought if I am familiar with the concepts of science, I'd be able perform well on the stage," says Sorcar Jr., who holds an M.Sc. degree and completed his doctorate in applied psychology from University of Calcutta.
"The magic of today will be the science of tomorrow," says Sorcar Jr., over the phone from Kolkata. Then, referring to our phone call, he continues, "Think about the telephonic conversation we're having. Imagine for a minute that we are in the Mughal era and we ask Jehangir the emperor to speak to his wife over the phone. For Jehangir it would be magic, something unthinkable for him. But, the phone conversation at present is just the way of life today."
A large part of his professional aim is to dispel the commonly believed theory that magicians have occult powers. "I always tell the audience that I don't have any mystical capacity, every trick is done through science, for your entertainment," says the master magician. "But mostly people do not want to believe me when I say this, no matter how hard I try. People don't like it when I tell them that it is all a trick."
To his fellow magicians, he has the following message: "I want to convey that, don't spread superstition and don't play the role of God. Devil doesn't exist but if you continue to do so you will become the devil."
Magic shows are passé these days. They've become an extension of the popular entertaining industry, with big-budget TV shows to their name. Figures like Dynamo and David Copperfield have emerged as superstars, and their digitally-tailored, made-for-television tricks generate millions of hits online. The world of magic is today going through its digital transformation. Does it worry the classically-inclined Sorcar Jr.?
"Those tricks are all 2-dimentional. People are so hooked on to it. They don't realise that the 'magicians' on TV are using trick photography. After all, in cinema, you can do everything. There are many editing processes. Real magic happens on the stage, where the charm increases manifold," says the magician, who was awarded the Merlin Award for Magic by the International Magicians Society.
To call Sorcar Jr. old-school, isn't in any way to take away from the astonishing inventiveness of his tricks. Not many TV magicians would dare to even attempt some of Sorcar's standout acts. He has made popular monuments vanish, for example. And once, in 1992, his abracadabra chops made an entire train disappear. Surely, these were illusions of perspective, but to pull these off without any tech support requires real skill. He says, "Amid all the cheer I was receiving when I made this train disappear, I was weeping. I was euphoric. My hard work had paid off."
To a huge extent, magic is a creative enterprise. So it comes with its own set of drawbacks and challenges. Plagiarism is one of them. But it doesn't quite bother Sorcar Jr. According to him, his tricks remain his own, not matter who performs them: "I can sing a Lata Mangeshkar song, but no one will listen to it."
It often happens that someone from the audience would come up to him and enquire about the secrets to his tricks. "People come to me and ask me how I do a particular trick. And I readily teach them. I feel elated to boost the innocent, honest attitude of the people."
But the magician also uses this opportunity to educate the crowd on the links between rationality and magic. "I tell people, 'Don't trust your eyes very much'. As we also may see illusions, mirages, hallucinations, and then we start believing in such things. I tell people to believe in things in a logical sense. And at the same time, it is important to not disrespect the things you don't know and to try to learn it as science."
For Sorcar Jr., magic is a science, as well as an art. It has been a family tradition passed down through generations. His father had made a name for himself across the world after that BBC show. And the son is widely regarded as India's best-known magician. "The show must go on," Protul Chandra Sorcar had told his son many years go. It may well have been the best piece of advice Sorcar Jr. was ever given by anyone.

R. I. P. WildStorm (1992 – 2010)
WildStorm, from its humble yet astounding beginning in the formation of Image Comics back in 1992, to its unique imprint status via acquisition by DC Comics in 1999, has been with us for an unforgettable eighteen years. We mourned its demise while taking a retrospective look at the prolific publishing line.
On Sept 22nd, Diane Nelson, President of DC Entertainment made two major announcement:
One, being the relocation of all business functions related to and supporting multi-media and digital content production from New York to Burbank, California. DCE's publishing operations will remain in New York.
Second, and the more affecting, would be the closure of both the WildStorm and Zuda imprint this December. The WildStorm Universe, as we know it, will effectively end with WildCats #30, the final issue of its last ongoing series "WildCats".
DC Co-Publishers Dan Didio and Jim Lee have this to say via DC's The Source blog:
"After taking the comics scene by storm nearly 20 years ago, the WildStorm Universe titles will end this December. In this soft marketplace, these characters need a break to regroup and redefine what made them once unique and cutting edge. While these will be the final issues published under the WildStorm imprint, it will not be the last we will see of many of these heroes. We, along with Geoff Johns, have a lot of exciting plans for these amazing characters, so stay tuned."
While Zuda, the company's webcomics imprint has been dying a slow death, WildStorm is doing comparatively fine, though understandably badly affected by the very same sales decline plaguing the entire industry.
Many creators have reacted to the sad news over Newsarama, and The Beat, with the majestic Warren Ellis making some intriguingly somewhat funny comments looking back at the latter.
My experience was that Wildstorm, particularly Jim Lee and Scott Dunbier and certainly several of the editors I worked with (John Layman especially comes to mind), looked after their creators, and kept a personal connection. They probably weren't the best businessmen — one of the reasons I turned their STORMWATCH into THE AUTHORITY is that I found out that, despite the fact that no-one was buying STORMWATCH, they kept it going because they liked reading it in the office and wanted to keep me employed. And I felt so bloody awful about that, and at the same time had been so struck by Bryan Hitch's STORMWATCH issues, that the train of thought that led to THE AUTHORITY began.
And I would say that their altruism and my crushing guilt worked out for them, except that 11 years later Wildstorm is being shut down. But in that time, they have published remarkable work — EX MACHINA, the ABC titles, SLEEPER, THE WINTER MEN, AUTOMATIC KAFKA, ZERO GIRL and FOUR WOMEN among others — and I hope the men and women who worked in Jim's house can find something to be proud of in that. I'm just sad that I won't see any more comics with the Wildstorm mark.
With that comment, Ellis somehow pointed out the nature of WildStorm. Allow me to elaborate after a brief walk down memory lane.
Originally known as Homage Studios, the studio was founded by artists Scott Williams, Whilce Portacio, Jim Lee, and Joe Chiodo in San Diego, California. From its formative years growing out of the roots of Homage and starting out with Image Comics in 1992, there is no doubt, both from then or retrospectively speaking, that WildStorm was the most ambitious line that ultimately saw through its ambitions by becoming the most formidable and influential line amongst Jim Lee's other Image partners (yes, that totally included Todd McFarlane and his never-changing Spawn. Nope, not a typo). Jim Lee, being arguably the biggest star of the Image Six, went on to create the biggest and most successful universe (something Rob Liefield totally sucked at, depsite the very brilliant Judgement Day reboot executed by the maestro Alan Moore for his Awesome Comics). In a time where superheroes are getting old and predictable, Image and WildStorm provided rejuvenated fire to the genre, offering everything from sex-ploitation (Gen¹³'s Caitlin Fairchild, anyone), top secret government conspiracy espionage a'la X-Files (the action-packed, always entertaining Team 7), to top notch works from established writers (Alan Moore surprisingly worked on an extended period on Wild C.A.T.s).
Yes, speaking of Alan Moore's unexpectedly prolonged tenure on Wild C.A.T.s. By imbuing the team with character and depth by following up on the initial premise of the Autobots/Decepticons-esque eternal war between the Daemonite and Kherubim, Moore enriched the series without major revamp and making the series more intriguing than ever, with then-up-and-coming artist Travis Charest (where are you now, Travis Charest?). Introducing the Kherubims as corrupt power-hungry politicians, underlying commentary on racism with Daemonites treated as second-class citizens, Tao, the traitorous villain, and the resolution of Fire From Heaven, a crossover particularly heavy on its continuity with the fates of Kaizen Gamorra and Spartan changed forever.
Also noteworthy at this period is the very much underrated crossover limited series between McFarlane' Spawn and the Wild C.A.T.s in an interesting spin on the Days Of Future Past concept with a time-traveling tale.
Gen¹³'s best-selling debut issue with an amazing thirteen (eventually, fifteen) variant covers brought the frustrating concept of variant covers to a new high, cementing the survival of this particularly perturbing concept till today.
Jim Lee also continued to prove his eye for upcoming breakout talents, by discovering talents like Travis Charest, Brett Booth and J. Scott Campbell. Attempts in branching out the franchise of WildStorm into other media were ultimately met with disappointment with the Saturday morning cartoon series of the WildC.A.T.s lasting only one season, while a full-length animated version of Gen¹³ was produced but never released. However, WildStorm's release of their superhero riff on Wizards of the Coast's Magic: The Gathering card game, Wildstorms, was popular enough to spun off into a crossover set of cards with Marvel.
The novel concept of setting up imprints also worked out tremendously with WildStorm. An imprint called Homage Comics was launched in 1995, focused on established writer-driven books. Titles as diverse as Kurt Busiek's Astro City, James Robinson's Leave It to Chance, Terry Moore's Strangers In Paradise to Warren Ellis' Red were published to critically acclaim.
Another imprint were then set up in 1997. Cliffhanger, a line focused on creator-owned series from then-popular artists were well-received with J. Scott Campbell's Danger Girl, Joe Madureira's Battle Chasers, Humberto Ramos' Crimson, Joe Kelly & Chris Bachalo's Steampunk, Kurt Busiek and Carlos Pacheco's Arrowsmith and Warren Ellis's Tokyo Storm Warning.
It was in 1997 that the WildStorm Universe saw a successful revamp with the help from prominent creators like Alan Moore and Warren Ellis. Ellis' work on Stormwatch cemented both the creator and the title's reputation in the comic industry.
Then came 1998, when DC Comics acquire WildStorm. And it is at this very same time when comic readers were fortunate enough to embrace a complete return of Alan Moore, with his America's Best Comics line launching from WildStorm.
While it might take some other people's inner comic geek self to make them say this, I am perfectly proud to admit that I bought the entire line. Every single title from the line was comic goodness. Promethea, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Tomorrow Stories, Tom Strong and Top 10. Every week you get a new comic book written by Alan Moore. Just think about that. So how did something that amazing come about?
Well, according to Wikipedia:
According to the interview Moore gave George Khoury in the book The Extraordinary Works of Alan Moore, when Lee first saw Alan Moore after the takeover, the tall figure of Moore holding his snake-headed walking stick impressed Lee so, he was sure Moore - who was then still ignorant of the sale - was going to beat him senseless. Moore was reluctant at first, but ultimately decided to accept his new situation as he had promised work to a number of his artist friends from Rob Liefeld's defunct Awesome Comics line. In the same interview, he said that it was better to go back against a principle for the greater good, than to have no principles in life at all.
Always the one looking out for others, Alan Moore. And no, no sarcasm when it comes to my favorite comic writer ever.
However, with WildStorm being sold to DC Comics without Moore's knowledge, the collaboration soon fell through as the feud between DC and Moore were well-documented in the industry. With the 32nd issue of Promethea, where the entire ABC Universe faces the Apocalypse, the imprint's "universe" officially ended as Moore bid farewell to an ensemble of some of the most intriguing characters ever in comic-dom.
Nevertheless, 1999 is indeed a significant year in WildStorm history, apart from the critically lauded ABC line. As mentioned earlier in Ellis' quote, the game-changing storyline from his "Change or Die" arc took Stormwatch to the next level. After a deadly encounter with the infamous xenomorphs, creatures from the Alien series of films in a crossover book with Dark Horse, WildC.A.T.s/Aliens, Stormwatch disbanded. From its ashes came The Authority, a ground-breaking series known for its uncompromising attitudes, intense graphic violence, visual flair of a "widescreen" scale created from the relentless mind of Ellis and the incredibly intricate artwork of Bryan Hitch. After twelve issues of awesomeness, Ellis handed the title to then-up-and-coming writer Mark Millar and then-relatively-unknown Frank Quitely. And the rest is history as Millar and Quitely masterfully took the already cutting edge series to the extreme and never look back. The Authority has since took over the United States of America and remain a staple feature of the WildStorm Universe, surpassing even the WildCats in its status. I would even go further to highlight the fact that Marvel's popular Ultimate Universe, in particular their most popular Ultimates (incidentally by Millar and Hitch) wouldn't have existed if not for the influence of The Authority.
And who can forget the absolute flip side of the Batman/Superman "World's Finest" partnership, with the pairing up of quite possibly the first gay superheroes, Midnighter and Apollo. And to everybody's surprise, this is one relationship that got everyone sticking behind, driving away any potential emotions of homophobia.
Ellis was a key contributor during his collaborative years with WildStorm, offering yet another critically acclaimed hit with his seminal work, "Planetary", a delightful celebration of Sci-fi pop culture, literature, and comic book history, with amazing art by John Cassaday.
By 2004, WildStorm continue to take bold moves toward a decidedly indifferent superhero future with their WildStorm Universe. Following the cataclysmal events of Coup D'Etatwhich resulted in The Authority taking control over the U.S. Government, an unexpectedly brilliant series were set up: Sleeper. At a time when Ed Brubaker is still relatively unknown in the comic industry, a finite series successfully mashing superheroics, crime, and espionage was born. While the series proved to be an internet darling and was a success with critics, the series underperformed commercially and was thus canceled after twelve issues. It was then brought back by popular demands for another twelve-issues run as Sleeper: Season Two, which ended with an unforgettably bleak ending.
Yet another testament to WildStorm's relentless scope of publishing in 2004, another landmark new series taking superheroics to yet another philosophic height were introduced. Ex Machina, created by Brian K. Vaughan and Tony Harris, was an intelligently piece of superhero work unlike any in the business. Interwoven with contemporary politics, ethnics, moral debates, and yes, superheroes, Ex Machina went on to took home the 2005 Eisner Award for Best New Series. For those interested, the awe-inspiring first issue is gamely provided by DC/WildStorm right here.
Gradually, after the acquisition of WildStorm by DC Comics, the DC Universe started to interact with the WildStorm Universe. The connection was further deepened after the return of the Multiverse after DC's Final Crisis, from minor signs like WildStorm's unique Bleed concept introduced to DC Multiverse to major all-out crossover like the DC/Wildstorm: DreamWar between the two distinctly different universe.
Meanwhile, the WildStorm Universe continue to experience the worst kind of crossover events you can imagine for an universe populated with superheroes. Yes, even worst than the eventual non-consequential (by comparison) Civil War that Marvel had. In 2008, after enduring one world-changing event after another (from Wildstorm: Revelations, to Wildstorm: Armageddon, to Number of the Beast), the universe jumped the post-apocalyptic shark with Wildstorm: World's End, where every imaginable bad things happened.
Wildstorm editor Ben Abernathy had this to say to Newsarama:
"This direction evolved following our WorldStorm launch a few years ago. Looking at the landscape of the industry, we realized we needed to move our universe in a different direction, something that the "Big Two" couldn't, or wouldn't, do for a long period of time. And we decided that direction should be toward a sci-fi/horror direction of a post-apocalyptic setting (to a degree, an almost logical extension to where the WSU has been headed for years). There have been "visions" of a devastated, bleak future in other mainstream super-hero books, but nothing with the lasting impact or direction that the World's End books will be tackling."
Following that, WildStorm has since continue to diversify its publishing scope with licensed properties like A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, World of Warcraft, The X-Files and Dante's Inferno. With expectedly sub-par results.
And here we are at the end of the road with DC making the heartbreaking announcement.
Jim Lee has since spoke out on the fall out of the event, on Newsarama.
"It's a ways off. I don't want to mislead any WildStorm fans. At the same time, honestly, I think taking a bit of a breather on them and then re-energizing them with some new focus and direction will be very good for those characters. I feel very confident, as co-creator on a lot of those properties and characters, that this is a very good creative move for them."
Echoing back to what I mentioned about Ellis' statement. It is well-documented of Jim Lee and Scott Dunbier's relentless enthusiasm to push the envelope of this comic industry that is simply put much smaller than we ever thought. So small that when corporate giant moves, earth trembles and small imprints like WildStorm (that has frankly speaking cheated death for longer than one might thought if you considered the history) gets the red card treatment. Ironically, while the superheroes/villains alike in WildStorm Universe took on the apocalypse in its strive, the real world is that Armageddon nobody can take on. We can already count our luck that Vertigo lives on to fight another day (perhaps, complete with enhanced superpower now that the fallout of the demise of WildStorm are certain to send some of its more cutting edge superhero titles to the mature-reader line).
Reader might at this moment felt that we are overreacting to the closure of the imprint. However, the fact that nobody is certain enough on what is on the horizon for these wonderful characters from WildStorm Universe to speak something on it disturbs me. Word is, they will be reintroduced to DC Comics as part of the DC Universe, under the supervision of probably Geoff Johns. And that disturbs me even more. WildStorm is an unique universe in itself, much like Marvel's 616, or DC's very own Earth-0, a difference not distinctly felt immediately but immediately noticeable in Kurt Busiek and George Perez's JLA/Avengers crossover. Can a pair of iredeemable ultra-violent homosexual pastiches of the World's Finest live in the same universe as the original deal? Even if the answer is yes, I'm certain what we will have then are watered-down versions of Apollo and Midnighter.
To the end of an era in comic history. We mourn the demise of WildStorm with four ironically titled "This Is WildStorm" wallpapers taken from DC's WildStorm site. Yes, it's still there. Grab it while you can.
This WAS WildStorm.

Art students from various middle schools on the West Side gathered at Paradise Hills Community Center on Thursday to unveil "The Five Keys" mural.
Lead artist Faustino Villa, in partnership with Bernalillo County, began work on the mural in January, meeting with art teachers from West Side area middle schools, a county news release says.
The art teachers chose their best art students to be part of the project, Villa instructed them, and together they designed and finished the mural.
Villa is an instructor at Warehouse 508, a city-funded urban arts center for young people, the county said.
Along with Villa, the project participants included youth apprentice Bianca Sanchez, and youth artists Mikayla Mendoza, Estevan Sanchez, Andreana Bustinza, William Kline, Darian Ramos, Shaniah Yazzi, Renata Bonney, Arleena Beltran and Essence Chavez.

I attended a fascinating speech last week by Professor David Mackay, Chief Scientific Adviser to the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), who talked about how this country will actually meet its carbon reduction commitments, namely an 80 per cent reduction on 1990 levels by 2050. That's right, not just another target, but how we might actually do it.
Those who are interested should go to the DECC website and tap in 'Pathway Alpha calculator' into the site's search engine and take a look at this marvel of sustainable thinking in action, which details how much nuclear power, offshore wind, biomass, solar and other technologies we are going to need. Those clever chaps at DECC will even allow you to play with the calculations, so if you decide on moral grounds that nuclear power is not for you then it will calculate how much extra solar and wave power we need to compensate.
Anyway, Pathway Alpha is derived from three basic principles, namely reduced demand, greater energy efficiency and energy security. There was nothing Professor Mackay said which I could really disagree with, but it did strike me that in placing so much emphasis on nuclear power to help generate more electricity we will be relying on foreign countries to build our nuclear power stations for us which, of course, does little for our energy security.
How did we get ourselves into this mess? Well, in fairness we are not alone as only the French and Japanese know how to build nuclear reactors nowadays. That's assuming Iran and North Korea haven't stumbled upon the secret in recent weeks.
We, of course, did have the capability to build our own nuclear power stations, but sold off British Energy to the French company EDF three years ago. If anything highlights the total lack of strategic planning in British energy policy over the last few decades surely this is it.
We didn't even get a binding commitment to help us build our own nuclear reactors when we made the sale. I suspect our future Prime Ministers will be spending a lot of time sweet talking the French President in years to come.

But I like to respond to those people ...Nice post. But I like to respond to those people who will never change their minds. I am a devil's advocate and will always welcome to listen to the other side to see what else they can come up with to a point where they will crack because their statement stop making sense or panic or shut up. This goes both ways for me. So for this site, I like to see what they can come up with for exposing USANA, so I will play the USANA advocate. But for other USANA distributors espeically top ones, I like to see what LOGICAL pros (not just oh people say or other stories) about USANA, so I will play the 'paralegal' role in questioning their statements. It's also a way to learn because perspectives are all expose and opened up. In fact, I learned about USANA and human body more by being against it at first and realized sometimes I can be wrong..but have an open mind. But at the end after all facts, one will end up be leaning on one side despite by a devils advocate.

You should see the distributors face and reaction , even the gold directors ones where I questioned them. They get defensive, wow, do they get defensive.(some just also shut up and ignore you because they don't know) but when even in fact I just want to see if they know their stuff and why they so believe into it. Same with the haters, haters just shuts up after a while and say 'IT'S A SCAM BLAH.' WITHOUT real supporting evidence. In other words, 50% haters all sound like little kids at the end because they have not supporting evidence that it is a scam, but that's all they can say... the rest will shut up and ignore me and will try to disassociated with me (like the believers). It's an interesting psychological experiment or event.

But I agree that like you said, at the end regardless if you win those arguments or experimenting with believers and haters mind, ignore them and careless about them and believe in what you believe in.

And btw, I doubt haters will make a dent to USANA. So haters will be bitter.. just take a look at their stocks!!! (and don't give me enron cr-p).firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3477190209941294811.post-84950981483814107082015-05-07T05:33:16.783-04:002015-05-07T05:33:16.783-04:00Does USANA work as a product? There are more than...Does USANA work as a product? There are more than enough testimonies and research to validate that. No product is actually released until there is sufficient evidence confirmed by blood samples that the product atually has a benefit.

Does USANA work as a business? Are there people that have achieved success in USANA? Absolutely.

Does everyone make enough to replace their income? Of course the answer is "No". Perhaps only the top 1%...but out of those who get their real estate license, how many sell even one house? Look that one up. The real question would be how many people truly treat it as a business? I would venture to say the answer is close to 1%-2% max (that is the same with all network marketing)

Listen, this can go on and on and I can honestly say that I don't run into people that truly believe USANA is a scam and I could care less if I ever do. I don't have to prove anything to anyone. If you think it's a scam, who really cares. If your goal is to deter others from USANA, then that is unfortunate...but you certainly have a right to free speech. I find only those that have insecurities, or are by nature very negative, will visit or even believe the information on this site. I really don't need to work with anyone like that unless they have a strong desire to change. They can join your online band.

To all those who understand the value USANA brings, stop responding to people who will never change their mind (as I just did). Your time will be better spent fishing for salmon in a residential pond.

I can tell you:

If you read this blog you would know the purpose is to expose a pyramid scheme.

Usana is running a triple threat scam. It cheating its distributors by selling a phoney business opportunity. It is duping the public making outlandish representations.about the products. It is conning its shareholders by operating the Company for the insiders.

Do you know who was put into your up-line today?

I mean if the purpose is to educate people so they can also see 'the other side' and then decide if they want to do it, that's fine and it's doing a great job.

But if the purpose is to break down USANA, but making less people sign up to zero or just bring down USANA, I doubt that it will have any affect.

The company still exist after over 20 years and all MLM which are scams and really illegal, are already down and stopped working within the first 5 years. Few will make it pass 5 years if it is illegal and by the time it's 10-15 years, it's pretty much legit.

Only time you can bring it down is to make the govt to come in and say 'hey, no more MLM'. If that happens you will a greater force from all the distributors of not just USANA but other companies like Herballife, Amway, market America, fighting the government than this tiny dingy site.

Plus the govt will lose a lot of tax revenue from the high income earners. They already have past cases against herballife and Amway and the final conclusion is that MLM is allowed and legit.

That is why it entertaining and amusing to me and made me smirk when people on this site or anywhere say 'oh when usana comes down don't be crying home,..blah'. You might be 30 years old now and when you are a really old lady walking on a crane and Usana and mlm is still there 'blossoming'. (Amway still exist hope you know..and that's from 1970s)

Remember the life of MLM products is that it will blossom and when it becomes saturateds, it will diminished and then another 5 years or so go by, you will have new flux of buyer who are newer generations or immigrants. So it will never die. Good luck with your venture of breaking down usana cr-p and mlm cr-p.

Customs officials are supposed to make you nervous - they deliberately ask obscure questions so that someone faking an identification won't be prepared. What you think of as fumbling is actually the appropriate response.

When I was through Vancouver's airport in July, I too was impressed with how nice it is. There's this waterfall in the international arrivals area that is rather impressive.
I wish I could run away to BC for about a year as well. I joke with a friend of mine up there that I need a Jetsons house that I can pack up in a suitcase and reassemble in her backyard.
(Btw, Happy late birthday!)

New Release and Review: The Hazards of Sleeping with a Friend by Alyssa Rose Ivy
Series: Hazards Series #5
Published by Alyssa Rose Ivy Publication Date: March 26, 2015
Genres: Contemporary, Friends to Lovers, Romance
Amazon iBooks Smashwords Goodreads
Warning: Sleeping with a friend might change your life forever.
Sleeping with Kyle was never in the plans. Pretending to be his girlfriend was one thing, but letting our relationship become anything but platonic was another. The problem with mixing friendship with sex is that inevitably feelings get involved, and when that happens there's no turning back.
When Kyle's life fell apart around him, I needed to help, but doing that meant opening myself up to the most terrifying thing in the world—falling in love.

I received this book for free from Author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
My Review
I know when I pick up a book from Alyssa Rose Ivy that the day is about to get even brighter. I have been following her books for several years, and have never been disappointed with her writing. Kyle and Jade's story is no exception to this fact.
Kyle and Jade are friends and find a level of comfort in expressing themselves with each other. They have become familiar with each other's professional likes and dislikes, and are able to open up with one another in a way that unlocks the door to possibilities and potentials.
Her name is so fitting. Jaded by love. She wonders if she will ever have a relationship that is meaningful. If she can't, she doesn't want to miss out on any of the other benefits that come with it. She is a carefree young lady who is full of life and ready to explore her potentials.
He's not ready for a relationship with just anyone, but there is someone; he feels this may be out of the question. His life hasn't made room for serious relationships. It's always been easier to have surface liaisons.
"Now wasn't the time to overanalyze things. Sometimes it was better to feel than to think."
Friendships can cost at times, and our main characters give us a unique opportunity to explore this. Through each interaction and thought, we find ourselves falling further in love with this duo as we learn about about their personal and professional lives, their families, and their idiosyncrasies.
"That's all I wanted from you. Your love and your heart."
Having already gotten a taste of these quirky and lovable characters, I was pretty much schoolgirl giddy throughout the entire book. It was charming, seductive, hilarious, and sweet. Alyssa Rose Ivy's writing style allowed the story to come to life in such a way that I couldn't put it down. My eyes could not read fast enough and Kindle finger could not flip quick enough. I loved that Jade and Kyle had distinct personalities, yet shared so many commonalities that continually drew them to one another. It was also great to catch up with some of the characters that have been present in previous books in the series. This was without a doubt my favorite Hazards read, and I look forward to many more.

Among the stated goals of President-elect Donald Trump has been the renegotiation of, or withdrawal from, a number of international trade deals. When news of his election victory over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spread around the world Nov. 8, financial markets were in an uproar and trading partners like Canada and Mexico started to fret.
In the hours and days following Trump's win, markets stabilized and even gained ground. Still, as economists struggle to forecast what a Trump presidency will mean for global trade, one agreement at the heart of a long simmering trade dispute with Canada is already hanging in the balance. How it is resolved—or not—will have an impact on Idaho.
According to a University of Idaho analysis, the sales value of the forest products industry in Idaho was estimated at $3.5 billion in 2013 and directly employed more than 10,500 workers. Exports supported another 9,000 positions via indirect employment. Jobs in the sector pay well: 27 percent higher than the state average across all other industries.
Those jobs have long been imperiled by trade policies that allow Canadian timber companies to undercut U.S. competitors. In 1995, shortly after passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it was estimated Canadian softwood lumber—the type of wood used to build homes, for instance—accounted for 39 percent of the U.S. market. Policymakers blamed subsidies offered by the Canadian government that allowed its producers to pay fully three times less per million board feet than those in Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
Exacerbated by other factors like increasing technology, the influx of below market-priced Canadian lumber helped devastate the timber industries in the Northwest in the 1990s and early 2000s. In 2003, NAFTA officials approved U.S. tariffs on Canadian softwood—a move that was applauded by then-Congressman C.L. "Butch" Otter, who represented Idaho in the House.
Three years later, the parties agreed in 2006 to the so-called Softwood Lumber Agreement.
The SLA, which was renewed for two years in 2013, refunded $4 billion in U.S. anti-dumping and countervailing duties and divvied up another $1 billion between the feds and the forestry industry. It also established an export charge to be paid by Canadian producers should prices fall below a given level and barred the U.S. from filing any further anti-dumping cases.
Those provisions expired on Oct. 13, 2015 and, more than a year later, no agreement has been put in place to alter or renew them.
In a letter headed by U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) and Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), 18 other senators from both political parties pressed President Barack Obama on Oct. 21 to act on a commitment with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to secure a new agreement that would stabilize trade policies regarding softwood lumber.
"Only this type of agreement will allow U.S. lumber mills the opportunity to compete fairly in our own market and to make the investments necessary to grow the domestic industry to its natural levels of production and employment," they wrote, concluding, "Hundreds of thousands of U.S. jobs and thousands of U.S. rural communities depend on fairness in trade in softwood lumber. That is why we will continue to urge you, and any future Administration, to seek a fair, effective, and sustainable agreement with Canada on softwood lumber trade."
While Obama has made clear his desire for some kind of SLA, it is widely regarded as unlikely the issue will be resolved before his successor is inaugurated in January 2017—potentially making it the first U.S.-Canada trade issue Trump will face. Meanwhile, the president-elect's staunch protectionism has aroused fears that trade disputes between the close neighbors may become the new norm.
According to an Oct. 26 report from Reuters regarding the absence of a new SLA, U.S. Lumber Coalition Chairman Charlie Thomas said, "the U.S. industry will eventually have no choice but to use our rights under U.S. trade laws to offset the unfair advantages provided to Canadian industry."
That could lead to the kind of escalation that experts say can result in trade wars.
"If we were to stumble into a trade war," said U of I economist Steve Anderson, "we have no way of knowing how disruptive that would be to industries inside Idaho."

This chapter argues that Australia's labour market – indeed most capitalist labour markets –feature too much unemployment and underemployment and associated forms of labour marketinsecurity or disadvantage. The later term implies a weak or tenuous connection to the labour forcethrough underemployment or involuntary casual or part-time work and/or low wages or othermanifestations of weakness vis-à-vis employers. The direct and indirect costs of such malfunctions inthe labour market are reflected in all sorts of economic, social and health costs (Watts 2000; Saundersand Taylor 2002). A good deal of social policy is directed to problems emanating from the labourmarket and its various malfunctions – especially unemployment, underemployment and inequality.Accordingly, a good way to minimize the need for expensive and often difficult social policyinterventions is to organize the labour market so that it provides reasonable jobs and wages for thosethat seek them

Saturday 27th September, 11 am and Cainey and me have been walking up the Watkin Path in on/off rain for the last hour with the idea of taking photos from Yr Aran. But all we can see is grey cloud. Taking shelter against the wall of one of the abandoned miners barracks, we stop to have a quick brew and asses the situation. "The Met Office said it would clear out by midday " I say to Cainey, between sips of hot chocolate. "Ianit gettin me camra aut int thus" he tells me in his best Stoke accent.
We decide to give it another ten mins and if there's no change we'll cut our losses and head back to the coast. The rain does ease up and we carry on, waiting for the next band of rain to sweep in, but it doesn't. In fact, the clouds lift to reveal the summits around us and spur us on to the top of Yr Aran.
If we had started on the walk half an hour earlier, I think we would have turned back and missed out on a great afternoon in Snowdonia. Good old Met Office with their accurate data. It's definitely worth checking before venturing out into the mountains.

Firstly I'd like to thank and congratulate all the competitors taking part in the Snowdonia50 Ultra a 55 mile race around Snowdonia. Not just because of the amazing test of endurance, but also for giving me the opportunity to photograph them in such a fantastic environment.
Along side the race there was also a photographic competition to take the best shot of competitors. Winners are to be announced later this month, so fingers crossed.
This has been the first year for the competition and I'm sure it will be even bigger next year. So hopefully all the athletes and photographers will be ready for the challenge next September...
For more info on the event go to http://snowdonia50.com

HB, 15 Sep 2016Its really disappointing to see that a 649$ will cost 895$ in India. The difference is as good... moreI guess the price in India including taxes and price in US is excluding taxes. Having said that I still agree the price difference is huge. I paid 869.99 and around 80 USD of taxes in New York for seven plus 128GB.
But it will be bought by lakes of "Indians" who want to "show off" that they are teach savy and for status. I'd rather buy a device which is 5 to 10% slower at 10% price of apple.
AnonD-287672, 15 Sep 2016xperia xz ftwYep. Good thing I'm using an xperia phone. But that low storage! Keeps me wanting to get an iphone. But someday. I'm gonna own an iphone 7 plus! And its gonna be the 256GB. I read manga on my old jailbroken IPT4. Most android phones nowadays comes with 32 or 64GB. And one of the problem on the playstore is the ADS!
I am buying iPhone 7 plus 256GB version. It's a matter of prestige and status. Only disappointing thing is it is 8k cheaper than 100,000 price mark.
AnonD-287672, 15 Sep 2016xperia xz ftwOh yeah baby.Let's build up an army.
See the price for US here-http://www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_7_pricing_and_availability_preorder_on_september_9-news-20397.php the difference is HUGE.
Its really disappointing to see that a 649$ will cost 895$ in India. The difference is as good as a price of another phone.
Vito1, 15 Sep 2016It is indeed sad that this has been technological company Apple is getting such undeserved fre... moreAgree...
It is indeed sad that this has been technological company Apple is getting such undeserved free publicity all over the world, and especially in India. Who cares if Apple cuts the prices of its outdated iPhone by Rs.22,000? It was never worth much when it first came to the market, and worth even less now that they have released their next model. When they were running strong, they never paid any attention to India, and only entered India with the iPhone 4, when in the rest of the world they were getting ready to launch the iPhone 5. Now that their market share is drying up , Apple is aiming to go big in India. They think that we guys are fools to fall for a mirage of the past! At least until such time they start building in India, and start providing employment to our people and reduce the prices . Then we might buy the products . Let us not fall for the outdated Apple hype!
Price is too High compare to other International Market, It's better to wait for little Time, Definitely Price will come down for all the Models.
IPhone 6s and 6s+ shall be first preference for buyers.

Some types of Apple® brand products are not always user-repairable or upgradable. What this means is, if something wears out, breaks, or stops working, you are unable to fix it on your own. However, you may still be able to get the device repaired or upgraded by having an authorized service center perform the work. In situations where the device is no longer repairable or has worn out, you have a few different options for the proper disposal of it.
For example, if you have a broken Mac Mini and something went wrong with the circuit board, the other parts within the computer still have some residual value. The memory, hard drive, CD or DVD drive, keyboard, and mouse are all reusable parts, when they can be salvaged. It is for this reason you will find you are able to sell the broken computer for a little bit of money.
Normally what happens when you sell a broken Mac Mini is it is tested after it arrives, and then taken apart so the various parts and components are also able to be tested to see which ones still function. Any nonworking or unsalvageable parts are then sorted out from the working ones and made available for recycling. Like in our example, where the circuit board was broken, the plastics and metals on the board can be recycled and reused to make a new circuit board, as long as it is recycled, rather than placed in common everyday garbage, where it would end up in a landfill and take decades, if not centuries, to decay.

"Awake, awake, Deborah!
Awake, awake, sing a song!" Judges 5:12
When I first began digging into this Bible blogging thing, I was amazed with how many Bible blogs were out there. In the five years that I've been doing this, that number has grown exponentially- there are so many people out there blogging about the Bible. And why not? Blogging is a fabulous way to do some journaling- to chronicle our individual journeys to becoming what God wants us to be. I have no doubt that if Paul were alive today, he would be an exceptional blogger. That would be a fun blog to visit each and every day! Five years ago I was particularly interested in all the blogs that spoke directly to women. There were many women out there striving to be the best wife/mother/help meet they could be, and would tell their tales and share scripture that encouraged them.
The thing about many of these women who blog? That's their only voice, because they're trying to live the life of a silent, shrinking violet. Titus 2 is often the chosen passage leading these women into subservience.
"the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— 4 that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed." Titus 2:4,5
Somehow, women all over the place have decided that "reverent in behavior" means that they are to be silent and submissive. So I looked up reverence, and it simply means to show honor and respect. It does not mean to stay silent, to have downcast eyes, and it does not mean that because you are a women, you are no better than a piece of furniture. In the most basic of examples, we show respect to someone when we allow them to finish speaking before we interject. We show respect to a pregnant woman by standing up and offering our seat when we can. We show respect when we hold the door open for the person behind us. We honor someone by remembering to wish them a happy birthday. We honor someone by giving them a small gift to let them know we were thinking of them. We honor someone by simply listening to what they have to say.
And look! Women are to be teachers of good things! And good things is not just the life of a domestic servant- how to cook, clean, sew and bear children. Yes, I am a housewife, I take care of the household needs to the best of my abilities, it's part of who I am and who I am meant to be. But I am also meant to be a teacher of good things! What could be more good than the goodness of God? When God speaks to me or shows me something, I am supposed to share it, to teach it to others- I am not meant to keep it to myself and only speak when spoken to...
I think that things are changing in the church. For far too long, women have had a secondary role, and it's time for them to wake up! It's time for the women to share all these wonderful things that God has been giving them, but they haven't been able to share!
I also decided to look up the word "discreet" in the dictionary, because I have a mental image of doing something in secret or quiet. But in actuality, the word discreet means "to show discernment or good judgement in conduct and in speech". It means that you think twice before gossiping, and then choose not to share those gossipy details. It means that you pray for wise words before going to someone and discussing something personal to them. It means that you are thoughtful, simply thinking before speaking instead of just blurting something hurtful out. It means that instead of tying one on at that wedding and drinking yourself into a stupor, you wisely chose one glass of wine with dinner and then have soft drinks the rest of the evening.
I am a quiet person myself. I just prefer to take everything in, and not fill the air with meaningless chatter. That's just who I am. But someone once told me that people often think that the quiet ones get walked all over and dismissed, but in fact, are actually the people who are confident and know who they are. What the women in the church need today is confidence. For too long they've been told that they are second rate simply because they are women- they are first rate, and God wants them to know that. The fact of the matter is that I am a daughter of the King, which means that I truly am a princess. A princess is not a wallflower meant to be silent and admired from afar. A princess takes an active role in her duties, giving direction and assistance to the people around her.
Almost every single little girl goes through a period in her life where she wants to be a princess. I remember when Abigail was four and we went to Disney, she wanted to meet the princesses more than anything. She wanted a princess dress so she could be just like Sleeping Beauty, so we got her one, and she spent the day floating about just like a princess. The truly incredible thing about all the princess playing that little girls do is that it really isn't as pretend as we all make it out to be. Every girl and woman is a daughter of God. When they accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, they attain the rights to put on the princess tiara and carry themselves accordingly. She should be proud to be a daughter of the King, and no longer be afraid to speak up. It's time for a whole legion of princesses to wake up and realize that they DO in fact have something to say- and something to do.
Do you know what one of the best, most stereotypical traits of a princess is? She is benevolent- caring and compassionate. A princess will have compassion on those in need around her, and will go the extra mile to see that everyone is clothed and fed, and has a roof over their head. We just need to take that a step further, and in addition to the physical well-being, we should pray for spiritual well-being for those around us.
We are to be wallflowers no longer. We are to rise up and take our proper places as Princesses of the Kingdom of God.

Gooseberry Falls State Park (photo by jhy
from various sources
All Minnesota State Parks are closed until the state budget crisis is resolved. This affects the North Country Trail primarily along the north shore of Lake Superior, and the Superior Hiking Trail section.
State Parks along the route include Jay Cooke (at the MN-WI border), Gooseberry Falls, Split Rock Lighthouse, Tettegouche, Crosby-Manitou, Temperance River, Cascade River, and Judge Magney.
Shuttle operator, Harriet Quarles, reports that all gates are closed and water is turned off. Thru-hikers should be able to move through the park on the trail, but no services are available.
The NCT does pass through one other Minnesota SP on the west side of the state, which is Maplewood.
There is no way to predict how long it will take Minnesota to resolve their $5 million gap between proposals of the two political parties. Minnesota Public Radio estimates that park revenue lost on the holiday weekend could be as much as $12 million.
Most segments are on SHTA maps
