Marion Nestle writes in Food Politics "Although most scientists view scientific methods - testing hypotheses by controlled experiments - as inherently valid and truthful,... many people regard science as just one of a number of belief systems of equal validity and importance. Religious beliefs, concerns about animal rights, and views of the fundamental nature of society, for example, influence the way people think about food. So do vested interests."
The same thing applies to people's religious beliefs. Although to most people with a science background it seems obvious that science is our best way of knowing, this is apparently not true for people in general. They adopt a religion, or stick with it, because it feels right and they believe their feelings reveal truth.
One's feelings do reveal truth about inner realities, and it's crucial to be in touch with one's feelings. Taking one's feelings as evidence about objective realities extends "being in touch with one's feelings" beyond its proper area of authority, but that's what people do.
I like Marion Nestle's writing about food politics so far, because it reveals a lot of corporate and advertising interests that we are often influenced by without realizing it. These influences contribute to people being overweight, and other problems. And it's a good question, in what ways economic interests reinforce religious belief as well.

At least according to Wikipedia there are several inconsistent accounts and it's uncertain whether Hippasus was the one who discovered irrational numbers. The mildest version mentioned in Wikipedia was that the person who did was a Pythagorean who was expelled for the discovery. Another version is that the person who discovered irrational numbers was drowned at sea "for impious behavior". Wikipedia gives references for these various stories.
It does sound like the Pythagoreans associated "rational" numbers with morality. It's natural for people to believe various things, including religions they were brought up with.
The Pythagoreans don't seem to have had our modern notion of proof.
The Greek concept of number—arithmos—was always a multitude of units. You can find this definition given over and over again by Thales, Eudoxus, Aristotle, not just the Pythagoreans. The number 1, representing the unit, was not even included, and of course there were no negative numbers or zero. Ratios were not considered numbers but a relationship of numbers. The Greeks including the Pythagoreans had no notion of rational numbers, let alone irrational numbers.
When they compared the diagonal of a square with its side, they thought there must be some very small unit such that each was a multiple of that unit. Hippasus or whoever discovered the proof of incommensurability showed there was a contradiction in that notion, but that did not in itself establish the existence of irrational numbers.
Our modern number concept formed very slowly over thousands of years and was not really complete until the middle of the nineteenth century.
So the Greeks had no notion of one ratio being greater than another ratio? as in 2/3 > 1/2?
With that idea of greater-than, it seems one essentially has rational numbers. It becomes natural to think of rational numbers as sitting on a line, and then to think about the nature of that line ...
Mathematics in ancient Greece developed over time so that what was known varies. Certainly the Pythagoreans compared ratios in dividing a string to produce musical tones, but they did not recognize ratios as numbers or to think of them as represented by points on a line.
Euclid, who came later by a century or two, deals with ratios more rigorously and even defines when two ratios are equal in a rather complex and roundabout way that shows he did not conceive of them as numbers or as points on a line.
What Euclid defines is the statement p is to q as r is to s— so clearly he not defining equality of the rational numbers p/q = r/s. Here is the definition Euclid gives:
Magnitudes are said to be in the same ratio, the first to the second and the third to the fourth, when, if any equimultiples whatever be taken of the first and third, and any equimultiples whatever of the second and fourth, the former equimultiples alike exceed, are alike equal to, or alike fall short of, the latter equimultiples respectively taken in corresponding order.
The Pythagoreans don't seem to have had our modern notion of proof.
What I mean is, it sounds like the idea of logically right was conflated with morally right and esthetically right.
Luara, you said
But I went through the overturning of a (nonreligious) belief system that I had without even realizing it. If you have an explanation for something; even if it explains things well, even if it satisfies your heart and your life is organized around it, that doesn't mean it's THE explanation.
I'd be interested to hear about your experience.
Today I learned a new word from Suzette Haden Elgin's Native Tongue trilogy.
zhaláad – the act of relinquishing a cherished/comforting/familiar illusion or frame of perception
I think we need to embrace this concept, because it's easier to grasp and promote something once it's named. Sharing our zhaláad stories is a start.
Zhaláad … interesting concept word. I'll have to run a memory scan of my gray matter storage ap to find the most significant personal incidence of zhalaad in my life. It could be a useful exercise. I think the emotional component is also important – what was the affective impact on your life?
I have zhaláad when I'm forced to give up the comforting/familiar feeling of safety and of being treated with respect when an iconic authority figure turns out to be racist or misogynist or an iconic cultural symbol turns out to have a nasty meaning or significance previously hidden. Learning that some of our founding fathers profited from piracy, that Richard Dawkins has misogynist tendencies. The biggest zhaláad recently is giving up the frame of perception associated with a stable planet. Coming to grips with the gap between where we are and where we need to be, to avoid catastrophic Climate Destabilization, which Alex Steffen calls planet shock.
I'd be interested to hear about your experience.
That's rather involved, no time to get into it now ...
paradigm shift.
Don't force them, just let them happen.
This is something I've noticed too and it's highly irritating: Lots of people seem to think about things as if they are school subjects, as though there are different rules of the game for each field eg. "Science is only can tell us about 'sciencey stuff' but it can't tell us anything profound." These people do seem to think any and all opinions are equal and valid; not realising that some opinions, beliefs etc. are just flat out wrong! The hypocrisy is astounding because modern society is built on science, most of these people owe their ability to function and live entirely on science: Everything from television, modern transport, electronic communication to medicine. All of those things only exist thanks to the hard work of those subjects that these people no doubt think of as dry and boring.
Science: n. Circa 1300, "knowledge (of something) acquired by study".
Upshot: You can know something (understand it) by conscientious study, or by instinctual analysis. Knowing what someone else thinks is not necessarily the same thing. If you have thought about something you think you know, it qualifies as science, even if you did not use the Scientific Method. The scientific method is a different thing than science. Knowledge envisioned by episteme, then chopped apart and studied in a methodical manner, then either used to make predictions or used in a practical application is "Science" and it can be "Known". Otherwise what you might refer to as "Knowledge" is at best Theory (if based on known things) or Fantasy if it is a work of pure imagination or presumes anything that is based on disprovable assumptions.
We have decided that "Science" is a thing. We use the word in stupid ways, just like other idiots use the word "Faith". Neither are things or states of being. Faith means "intent"...not a mystical property. Knowledge === Science. Knowledge === information that can be applied with predictable results.
If I KNOW about Jesus, I can predict that proof will exist that there is a Jesus culture around me. That does not imply anything else. I also KNOW that the bible is real. I can provide evidence by taking you to a cheap hotel room...and showing you one. That is knowledge. Jesus being a real person is a Theory. We have evidence that shows that people exist, and Jesus is supposed to be a person. The statements/contents of the Book of Genesis/Lay of Gilgamesh/Legends of Sargon the Great and all associated derivative works are of the third classification: FANTASY. It violates information that can be tested and used to make other predictions (Knowledge).
Those distinctions make the topic of this thread self-contradictory.
It's kind of like a recent chat here in which someone stated that it might be possible to stop conscious thought while still awake (Zen stuff). Aside from the BIG problem that the idea violates knowledge (biomechanics) obtained by the scientific method, the statement is stupid. If you cease conscious thought, you are unconscious. That means you are not awake! Ja???

How Yooze Doin'?: The NBA's Nets Take Brooklyn With Grand Opening Occasion
By Barry Janoff
May 1, 2012: Fuhgeddaboutit. How yooze doin'? Waddehvah.
Both Avery Johnson and Billy King, head coach and general manager of the Brooklyn Nets, respectively, say they are anxious to "learn how to speak" Brooklyn.
"I'll have to speak some Brooklyn-ese now," laughed Johnson, who still speaks with the distinct twang from his native New Orleans. "You might hear me say something when I'm yelling at the players in the huddle. It's all good."
"I don't speak Brooklyn, but I will," agreed King. "I've even been taking some tours of the borough, getting to know the neighborhood, finding the restaurants, figuring out the subway system."
Johnson and King were part of an event in which the Brooklyn Nets unveiled their team logo and merchandise at Modell's Sporting Goods on Flatbush Ave., across the street from Barclays Center, now under construction but due to open for the 2012-13 NBA season.
The team's black-and-white color scheme and logos — one a '"B" in a basketball surrounded by the phrase Brooklyn New York that harkens back to the days of baseball's Brooklyn Dodgers; the other a shield with Nets and the "B" basketball positioned over the word Brooklyn — were created by Jay-Z, the award-winning musician, producer and entrepreneur who has a minority interest in the franchise.
The 18,000-seat Barclays Center is scheduled to open Sept. 28 with a concert headlined by Jay-Z.
That, however, may be less of a priority than putting together a winning team and immersing the franchise into the community. On the court, the NBA's Nets left New Jersey after 35 years with a whimper. The team's record this season was 22-44, following seasons of 24-58 (2010-11) and 12-70 (2009-10).
But off the court, the march to Brooklyn has come with a bang.
"It's taken a long time for us to get here, but it's a sweet day for the organization," said Brett Yormark, CEO of the Nets. "Brooklyn finally has a team they can rally around, and we'll make them proud. It's all about Brooklyn and we're all in. This is the start of something special."
Although it was the merchandise — including various T-shirts, hats, shorts and other paraphernalia — that took center stage in Modell's, it was the team's plan to become a legitimate part of the neighborhood on which management focused. This week, the team is overseeing events throughout the community, anchored by a 40-foot mobile unit that converts to a hoops-shooting, music-playing, videogame center.
"This is something that Billy and I and the owners have talked about for a long time, and to see it come to pass is thrilling," said Johnson. "Through some of our hard times last season with injuries, playing in what basically was a transient building (Prudential Center), knowing that we were going to Brooklyn was something that really gave us hope. Now, we are glad to be in Brooklyn."
King agreed. "The move from New Jersey to Brooklyn has been two-fold: Brooklyn knew we were coming, New Jersey knew we were leaving. So the hardest part has been the last few years of transition. Now we are really going to be 100% a part of Brooklyn 100% of the time. What I like about Brooklyn are the neighborhoods. People walk around, they know each other. That's the great thing about it. We are in a borough, a neighborhood, that has a great history. It has grew pride. We want to be part of it."
The franchise has no shortage of marketing and sponsorship partners. At the new arena, in addition to naming rights partner Barclays, founding partners include EmblemHealth, MetroPCS, Ticketmaster, TicketsNow, Cushman & Wakefield, Stoli and Foxwoods Resort/Casino. Legacy partners include adidas, Apollo Jets, Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser), Coca-Cola and Haier.
You'll also find a lot of Brooklyn on the marketing roster: Brooklyn Water Bagel, Long Island Univeristy-Brooklyn, Marriott Brooklyn, Maimonides Medical Center and Modell's.
"When it comes to our marketing partners and sponsors, everyone is excited about this," said Yormark. "Our suites are more than 75% sold out; sponsorship has more than tripled what we did our last year in New Jersey."
"Brooklyn knew we were coming, New Jersey knew we were leaving. So the hardest part has been the last few years of transition." — Billy King
Modell's CEO Mitchell Modell wouldn't discuss sales numbers, but said the alliance as the team's official sports retailer was a slam-dunk for both sides. "Any time a team changes logos, changes cities, changes states, it's phenomenal [for business]," stated Modell. "It brings new excitement. The fact that we are right across the street from Barclays Center, we are undergoing a major renovation to make this our flagship store. Beyond the merchandise at all Modell's we have other plans with the Nets that we will be announcing. They have a great product. It may take time. But good things will happen. They'll be here, we'll be here for a while."
Brooklyn Nets merchandise is now available at Modell's outlets in all New York metropolitan area locations, the NBA Store on Fifth Avenue and online at the Nets Web site. For the record, Brook Lopez, who was part of the Modell's event, was the first Nets player to put on a hat with the new Brooklyn logo.
However, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz has a bigger vision. "I love the logo and [merchandise], but as they say in Brooklyn: Waddehvah! As long as it reads 'Brooklyn.' "

This is right on the river Moskva in Moscow!Moscow has been the capital of Russia for almost its entire history. The exception is during the period of the Russian Empire, which lasted from 1721 until the Russian Revolution 1917. For these two centuries the capital was St. Petersburg. The Russian Empire was the second largest contiguous Empire in world memory; only the Mongol Empire had been greater.Check out what's happening north of Mongolia these days, in ChitaAlthough you may not have heard of Sochi, on the Black Sea, they're building up quickly and hope to host the 2014 Olympics.Other periods of Russian history include the Tsardom of Russia, from Ivan IV to Peter the Great, and the Grand Duchy (14th-16th centuries).The earliest period of Russian history was ruled by the Novgorod Republic and Kievan Rus, which was the first Russian state dating back to 800AD in Kiev.Modern Russia remains one of the world's superpowers. They launched the earth's second satellite, called Sputnik 1, and were the first country to put a human being into orbit around earth.

Feedback: What did you think of this show?:
Guest: Alan Steinberg. Topics; Protecting our space assets, weapons in space, space policy and public opinion. Please direct all comments and questions regarding Space Show programs/guest(s) to the Space Show blog, http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com. Comments and questions should be relevant to the specific Space Show program. Written Transcripts of Space Show programs are a violation of our copyright and are not permitted without prior written consent, even if for your own use. We do not permit the commercial use of Space Show programs or any part thereof, nor do we permit editing, YouTube clips, or clips placed on other private channels & websites. Space Show programs can be quoted, but the quote must be cited or referenced using the proper citation format. Contact The Space Show for further information. We welcomed Alan Steinberg to the program to discuss both is latest Astropolitics article, "Weapons in Space: The Need to Protect Space Assets," and his 2011 Space Policy article, , "Space policy responsiveness: The relationship between public opinion and NASA funding." Both of these articles are available for purchase by using Google the full title of the article. During the first half of the program, we focused on Alan's Astropolitics article. As you will hear, the issue of protecting our space assets is not an easy one to address or solve. Furthermore, as Alan and listeners suggested, the response the U.S. might make to an attack on space assets is unclear, especially if the attacking party or nation had an excuse, said it was an accident, or denied intentionally doing the deed. Alan and listener Michael defined the term space weapon and Michael provided us with the PPWT proposed treaty language defining space weapons. Alan had much to say about protecting space assets and weapons in space in the context of the U.N. treaties. We talked about U.S. as well as international enforcement here and in other countries. Space debris was discussed, especially in light of the difficulty in diplomatic action leading to tangible action against a debris causing country or party. Also discussed was government being responsible for commercial space assets under its flag. In the second segment, we mostly talked about Alan's 2011 Space Policy article, "Space policy responsiveness: The relationship between public opinion and NASA funding," although many listeners via email and the phone kept returning to the space weapons topic. Alan took lots of questions about the role and impact on policy of space advocacy and as you will hear, its not easy or clear to pin down. Alan had much to say on how best to influence members of congress but was clear in pointing out that space advocacy does not have the numbers of the larger and more powerful lobbying groups that are far more effective in influencing policy than is the space community. Another of his points focused in on the significant influence of the aerospace industry as compared to space advocates and enthusiasts. We also learned from his concluding paragraph that when researching this issue, "research on what influences space policy attitudes and even space policy public opinion is in short supply." In addition, we learned that while Americans like our space program and NASA, they don't have a good understanding of it, the actual amount of funding NASA gets in relationship to the budget, and that their liking of the space program simply does not translate to more funding and more programs. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog. If you want to contact Alan Steinberg, you can do so through email@example.com.

Significant changes are underway for established African-American Studies programs across the Southland.
After four decades of having an inter-departmental Afro-American Studies program, UCLA's Academic Senate is in the final stages of review for the program's transformation into a full-fledged African American Studies Department.
Cal State Northridge will be changing the name of its department from Pan-African Studies to Africana Studies starting next fall for the first time in 46 years. And at Cal State Long Beach, the Africana Studies Department has been fighting to prevent a demotion to a program due to a lack of tenured faculty.
UCLA's Afro-American Studies program is the oldest ethnic studies program on campus but is the only one that is not departmentalized, said Robin D.G. Kelley, interim chair of the Interdepartmental Program for Afro-American Studies. UCLA's Chicana/o studies, Asian American studies and gender studies all have their own departments, he said, which elevates the status and prestige of these programs.
"As an (inter-departmental program), we can't hire people, we don't have faculty lines to hire on our own, we have to go and beg from other departments," Kelley said. "With a department, we can decide who we want to hire. We can make decisions on faculty who fit our model."
Final approval from the university's Legislative Assembly, which includes 124 elected faculty members representing academic units across campus, is expected in April and then will head to the desk of the executive vice chancellor.
Although the review process is inherently a lengthy one and started late last year, not much investigation was needed in this case, said Jan Reiff, chair of the UCLA Academic Senate.
"Students are happy with the curriculum; they're going on to graduate programs or jobs," Reiff said. "We didn't have to do a whole lot of detailed analysis there because it's successful already."
The number of undergraduates majoring in Afro-American studies increased from 23 in 2000 to 93 in 2012, according to UCLA.
Meanwhile at Cal State Long Beach, a proposal was made last year by the dean of the College of Liberal Arts to demote the Africana Studies Department into a program since it lacks the required number of tenured faculty. Department Chair Maulana Karenga, who is the creator of the pan-African and African-American holiday of Kwanzaa, has led opposition to the proposal in the form of demonstrations, letter-writing campaigns and a teach-in.
"The reality is it's about people of color, where they fit in society, how do they get justice, not just in the normal course of the day but in the academy as well as in society and in the corporate world," he said. "I don't think you can honestly say you can have quality education without multi-cultural education."
CSU Chancellor Timothy White asked the campus last year not to go forward with any changes to ethnic studies programs until the campus' new president was in place, which occurred in January. Then in January, White put a statewide moratorium on any significant changes to the system's ethnic studies programs pending a review of the system's ethnic studies programs that is expected to be released this summer, said Mike Uhlenkamp, spokesman for the Chancellor's Office.
The review is being conducted by a task force that includes campus presidents and administrators, ethnic studies faculty and students.
"We're trying to get a grasp on what's going on with ethnic studies across the system," Uhlenkamp said. "Once we have that baseline, we can work with campuses on whether or not they should be making changes or if the changes are appropriate."
It's not known whether the proposal to downgrade the department would be taken up once the moratorium ends, but "we're very hopeful we can reverse that trend," Karenga said.
At Cal State Northridge, a decision has been made to change the name of its Pan African Studies Department to Africana Studies. The change was made largely in response to students' concerns that the name on their college degrees — which was African and African-American Studies — did not match their department's name, said Professor Johnie Scott, chair of the Pan African Studies Department.
But it also speaks to the seminal concept of Africana Studies presented by W.E.B. Du Bois, a civil rights activist who organized the first Pan African Congress in Paris, that signifies unity within the African diaspora.
"We are one people, whether we are in Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, South America, Brazil, North America," Scott said.

When 7-year-old Isaiah McLoughlin wanted cars and trucks on his Waterford street to stop speeding, he decided to take action.
Isaiah grabbed a pen, wrote a letter to his local police department and he is getting results.
"When I went for my bus cars and trucks are speeding. It makes feel unsafe," Isaiah wrote.
Then he asked police to call his grandmother to discuss the situation.
So police did. They arranged a meeting around the busy 7-year-old's schedule, took the complaint and arranged for speed patrols, starting today.
Here is what Waterford Police posted on their Facebook page:
"Traffic complaint from a 7 year old!
"Waterford Police got a letter from 7 year old Isaiah McLoughlin, saying that people were speeding in his road while he waited for the bus. He said he was available after 4 PM (busy social calendar!)
"Officer VanOverloop, working on patrol yesterday evening, went to the house, took Isaiah's complaint, and arranged for officers to conduct speed patrols on his road starting today.
"We thought it was pretty great that this young kid would write his local police, and wanted to share it with you."
The letter is generating positive response for police and Isaiah.

O! Lila
O! Lila bridges the gap between the hip, sassy and bold mainstream women's media and the often sappy but much-needed empowering messages so many women are starving for. Our delivery is playful but our purpose is poignant... women are dying on the vine, pummeled with messages telling us all the ways they're not good enough, skinny enough, beautiful enough. Worth is tied to what can be seen and our power as women gets completely sidestepped and buried.
Yet we flourish in our own ways. We are bold and even those who suffer war and violence have an enduring love and kindness for others.
Women aren't perfect. But we are uniquely WOMEN and it's time we celebrate ourselves without attempting to define what a woman must or should be.
Many women get angry or emotional here. At O! Lila we say that's an old conversation. Throw it out the window. Now it's time to celebrate, integrate, and discover all the ways we are women, all the ways we are different from men, and fall in love all over again with our own power, while falling in love with the magnificence in men as well. We're all in this together. We might as well have fun!
Our initial target audience will be the savvy 20-something to 40-something female crowd who reads Cosmopolitan Magazine or Marie Claire but isn't a stranger to more intelligent conversations occuring on Huffington Post or Oprah's emerging network.
These women are searching for advice on relationships, sex, career, self discovery, spirituality and business. They want to engage in a deeper conversation than they often find within the pages of Cosmopolitan Magazine, but their savvy sense of fashion and "what's in" have them high-tailing it out of any website with poor design, sappy colors or messaging, or "let's be goddesses" promises.
So we've got to give them the sugar they're comfortable with to deliver the medicine they need. :)
Attached is the latest ad for Mabelline's Volum' Express Falsies Mascara. This is the color scheme we want.
Stick to it as best you can. We want the bright punchy magenta and the bright turquoise/cyan.
Originally we wanted to play with a chocolate background to soften it, but we think actually the black and charcoal gray in the ad would be more appropriate. Feel free to use either or white in the background or accents of your logo.
Rock on, and we can't wait to see what you come up with! We always get great results here at 99Designs!

Christmas wish item
6 comments:
Love the boots! And my husband returns EVERYTHING too and his birthday is Friday and still haven't gotten him anything, it makes me want to pull my hair out as well. He did keep one gift which was the Ipod Nano I got him for Christmas last year but in the 7 years of marriage and 2 yrs of dating, returned everything! So I can totally relate.ReplyDelete
I love these boots you posted, and its always nice to have the real thing but just in case you're interested, target has them too :) basically identical. Here's the link.
TARGET! They are at Target....I got them a couple weeks ago. $35 bucks!ReplyDelete
yes, I have the grey Target ones too, perfect price.. and it's always nice to have the originals, but the Target ones are great too!ReplyDelete
So funny because Todd's cousin is here and she has them in blue and they are amazing. I hope you get them!ReplyDelete
Well, Christmas is over and I think my husband just walked around Target grabbing anything that remotely related to anything I remotely do.ReplyDelete
I got a corkscrew (I have one), a thing that vacuums the air out of a bottle (I don't hardly drink and I don't drink expensive wine), a leatherette binder (I write short stories, on a computer) and make-up brushes (of which I already have about 20). Plus I got a gift card to Wal-Mart, a store that I would rather walk on hot coals than enter.

Photojournalists to Discuss their Work at Screenings of the Documentary 'Deadline Every Second'
By: Press Release
NEW YORK – Richard Drew and Charles Dharapak of The Associated Press are among photographers who will discuss their work as part of a series of screenings beginning this month for the new documentary "Deadline Every Second."
Drew, based in New York, is one of a dozen AP photographers followed in "Deadline Every Second," produced by Ken Kobre and John Hewitt. The film portrays the 12 photojournalists in eight countries as they cover war, political clashes, financial markets, natural disasters, sports and human interest stories.

The Charitable Crescent: Politics of Aid in the Muslim World
I. B. Tauris, Oct 24, 2003 - Political Science - 250 pages
This is a unique and original survey of Middle Eastern and Muslim charity groups, their work, and their links to the political firmament within the Islamic world today. It explains the conflict between two trends: the tradition of philanthropy of Muslim societies on the one hand, and the demands of politics on the other. In the process the authors identify a number of issues: who is entitled to benefit from Muslim alms? What are the priorities? What should be the relations between charitable institutions and the state? What account must the organizers of charity give to the public? And who is entitled to interpret Islamic doctrine?

Dan Walters: California health insurance decision has political fallout
The implementation of the federal health care program popularly known as Obamacare will obviously affect the lives and finances of tens of millions of Americans.
Obviously, too, as the nation's largest state, California's implementation will play a major role in the program's success or failure.
But setting aside the human impacts for the moment, there are also heavy political effects, both nationally and in California.
President Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats are reeling from the bollixed-up rollout, especially in states that, unlike California, chose to have the federal government manage the enrollment process.
Not only has the system been plagued by chronic technical glitches, but Obama's personal standing has been seriously damaged by his repeated statements that those who are happy with their current health insurance could keep it.
At best, he misspoke, because many millions of individual policies are being cancelled for not meeting the new federal standards; at worst, he intentionally misled the nation to get his program through Congress.
In seeming desperation, Obama sought to protect himself and his party from fallout during next year's elections by delaying some enrollment deadlines and calling on state insurance regulators to allow old policies to remain temporarily in force or be reissued.
But Covered California, the state's new health care exchange, refused last week to go along with the plea, forcing upwards of a million Californians facing cancellation to quickly buy new, often more costly coverage.
California's vulnerable congressional Democrats cringed, because it gives their challengers heavy ammunition. Their rivals can roll out stories of constituents who are being compelled to buy more expensive health policies against their will.
Covered California's refusal to extend policies also adversely affects state Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones' hopes of persuading voters next year to give him broader power to regulate health insurance rates.
Another agency, the Department of Managed Health Care, oversees the vast majority of health policies now, and its rivalry with Jones has been palpable – one that he hoped to win with a 2014 ballot measure in partnership with Consumer Watchdog, a frequent "intervenor" in insurance cases pending before Jones' department.
Jones had seized upon the cancelled policy issue to boost his plea for more authority and persuaded a couple of insurers to briefly extend some policies. Had Covered California backed Obama, the issue would have re-emerged late next year, providing fuel for Jones' November measure.
That may have not been the only reason Jones and Consumer Watchdog criticized Covered California as anti-consumer, but from a political standpoint, it was a setback. And Jones' shrinking role in health insurance could wither even further.

Nissan admits that it's among the last automakers to offer a crossover with three rows of seats, something Honda and Toyota have peddled since the early 2000s. Through September, three-row midsize and large crossovers have edged north of 660,000 sales. Every major automaker except Volkswagen now offers one, and that may soon change (see the post).
Nissan's solution: Re-imagine the aging Pathfinder — historically a truck-based SUV, most recently with combined EPA city/highway mileage ratings as low as 14 mpg — into something that competes squarely with the Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander.
The 2013 Nissan Pathfinder boasts handsome styling and a decent, if imperfect, compromise between drivability and fuel efficiency.
Certain trim levels have subpar tech features, but the Pathfinder has a few strengths that should get the attention of family shoppers. Trim levels include the S, SV, SL and Platinum; each can have front- or four-wheel drive. Compare them here, or stack up the 2012 and 2013 Pathfinder here. I drove SL and Platinum versions.
Wagon-Like Styling
Where Honda doubled down on blocky SUV styling with its second-generation Pilot, the Pathfinder looks more like a tall wagon, with overall height — 69.6 inches — on the shorter end of the competitive set. But the face borrows more from Nissan's truck-based Xterra and Armada than from its car-based Rogue and Murano. It's more of a statement than the bulbous tail, whose blocky window spoiler and generic taillights don't make much of an impression.
Eighteen-inch alloy wheels are standard, with 20-inchers installed on the Platinum. Fog lights are optional on the S and SV and standard on higher trims.
Going & Stopping
Nissan swapped the old Pathfinder's truck-suited drivetrains — a 4.0-liter V-6 or 5.6-liter V-8, each with a five-speed automatic — for its familiar 3.5-liter V-6 and continuously variable automatic transmission. The duo provided enough oomph for rapid elevation changes, but the so-called "next-gen" CVT's penchant to hunker back into lower revs makes for some lag when you dig into the gas while passing. Still, once the V-6 kicks up to higher revs the Pathfinder moves out, though not as stoutly as a V-6 Toyota Highlander or Chevrolet Traverse. Fans of the old V-8 Pathfinder will find little comparison when it comes to passing power or towing capacity, the latter of which drops from 7,000 pounds to a more crossover-competitive 5,000 pounds. Nissan says buyers cared much more about fuel economy than towing.
To that end, Nissan removed hundreds of pounds from the Pathfinder in its redesign — between 279 and 508 pounds, depending on V-6 trim. That's atypical in a segment where weight gains are the norm even when SUVs move to more modern platforms (see the Dodge Durango or Ford Explorer). TheNissan Pathfinder boasts an excellent EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 20/26 mpg city/highway (22 mpg combined) with front-wheel drive, and all-wheel-drive versions are rated 19/25 mpg (21 mpg combined). Both figures edge out the major competition by 1 to 2 mpg, though one Explorer variant — front-drive with a turbocharged, four-cylinder EcoBoost engine (20/28 mpg) — has Nissan beat.
Ride & Handling
Unfortunately, that efficiency doesn't come for free. Nissan says low-rolling-resistance all-season tires helped save a few tenths of a mile per gallon, but I found they surrendered grip too easily in tight corners. The same held true with two tire sizes on two trim levels: Bridgestone Dueler Sport P235/55R20s on a top-of-the-line Platinum and Continental Cross Contact LX P235/65R18s on the Pathfinder SL.
The sidewalls protested even during modest high-speed curves. A Pilot and Highlander I drove the same day had better grip.
Handling and ride composure in normal driving otherwise impressed, with good steering feedback on winding roads and a settled wheel at highway speeds.
The Inside
The Nissan Pathfinder's cabin shows clear design similarities to its platform sibling, the Infiniti JX35, though the Nissan is expectedly less rich, with harder textures up front and less padding where backseat passengers rest their arms. It is, however, competitive with its non-luxury ilk, if not as roomy as some of them.
The second-row seats sit low to the floor, and adults in the second and third rows will have to work out a compromise for acceptable legroom. With 5.5 inches of second-row seat travel, either row can enjoy room aplenty if the other one gets very little, so negotiate wisely. Third-row headroom, by contrast, is good. The third-row seatbacks recline — a rare bonus — but the Explorer and Durango have the comfiest third rows.
Nissan's Latch and Glide system allows third-row access if you've installed a child-safety seat in the second row. The passenger-side seat (sans child) tips forward while keeping the child-safety seat installed, but the walk-in path is more of a squeeze-by setup. Without the child seat, both sides collapse forward — similar to the chairs in GM's three-row crossovers — for a wider entrance.
Luxury options include heated and cooled front seats, two moonroofs that cover all three rows and a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel, but there are a few utility shortfalls.
Fold the seats down and numerous gaps in the floor threaten to catch your cargo. Maximum luggage volume — just 79.8 cubic feet — roughly matches the Explorer but trails the Pilot (87.0 cubic feet), Highlander (95.4 cubic feet) and Traverse (a mammoth 116.3 cubic feet).
Safety, Features & Pricing
The Nissan Pathfinder has yet to be crash-tested. Standard features include all-disc antilock brakes, an electronic stability system and six airbags, with curtain airbags for all three rows. Click here for a full list of safety features.
The front-drive Nissan Pathfinder starts around $29,000, including an $825 destination charge. All-wheel drive adds $1,600 to any trim. Standard features include 18-inch alloy wheels, tri-zone automatic climate control and a CD stereo with steering-wheel audio controls and an auxiliary jack but not Bluetooth. USB/iPod integration and Bluetooth phone operation come on the SV and SL, but only the Platinum has Bluetooth audio streaming — downright stingy, given the popularity of music on smartphones these days.
Move up the trims and you can get dual moonroofs, a power liftgate, power front seats with heating and cooling, heated rear seats, leather upholstery and a heated steering wheel. A loaded Pathfinder Platinum will set you back around $44,000.
Pathfinder in the Market
The Pathfinder's handsome cabin styling and driving refinement — tires notwithstanding — should help family buyers overlook its modest cargo room. Can Nissan find the sales success of a Pilot or Explorer? Established automakers and small players alike have struck out (see: Hyundai Veracruz and Subaru Tribeca) in the attempt, but I suspect the Pathfinder won't go their way. With six SUVs and a minivan in its lineup, Nissan has strong people-hauling credentials. It's missed a big chunk of the market for years, but at long last, the new Pathfinder fills the gap.

UnNews:Jay Cutler ready to be sacked in playoffs
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
6 January 2011
LAKE FOREST, Illinois -- This season isn't only the first time in Jay Cutler's five-year NFL career that he'll participate in the playoffs. It's also the first time the Chicago Bears quarterback will be able to watch himself on television being sacked in the playoffs.
Jay Cutler led the Bears to an 11-5 record and a first-round bye in the playoffs this season, sparing them from having to play a game against the likes of The Seahawks, the first team in history to make the playoffs with a losing record.
After spending four years on the outside looking in, watching other QBs (including former Bears QB Rex Grossman) be sacked, the veteran quarterback is thrilled to be making his initial trip to the playoffs as a division champion.
"It's very hard," Cutler said. "To get sacked week after week, and still go out there, and to still play, it's even harder. Some guys go to the playoffs every year; a lot of them never even get sacked."
Mr. Cutler isn't the only key member of the offense who has yet to appear in an NFL playoff game. Running back Matt Forte, tight end Greg Olsen (younger brother of the Olsen Twins) and receivers Johnny Knoxville and Earl Bennett (a descendant of the Earl of Sandwich) also will be making their postseason debuts. On the other hand, the Bears defense is stocked with experienced veterans, though most of them can't even remember how the playoffs function, as it's been so long time for them.
"There is obviously going to be some pre-game jittery stuff," Jay said. "I'll likely sit on the sidelines and make one of those stupid faces I have a propensity for making. I'm just looking forward to that first sack. I'll know I'm playing in the playoffs then! The second and third time won't be as special, but they'll still be important."
"I think the guys know the magnitude of the playoffs and what a good position we're in. But at the same time we've got to take care of one game at a time, keep running the offense and executing and doing the little things. Except protecting the quarterback. That's something that just won't do... That's something we just can't do."
As he prepares for the Bears' playoff opener a week from Sunday at Soldier Field, Cutler insists that he'll maintain the same approach he utilized throughout the regular season.
"I'm not going to change anything," Cutler said. "I don't think anybody in this building is going to change anything. We're going to go about it in the same manner we have the past 16 games and prepare the same and Mike is going to give us a game plan next Wednesday and we're going to go with it. It'll likely involve throwing a oblong ball made of pigskin through the air. But we're not sure about that right now."
Cutler continued, "I know I'm going to get sacked. I really can't wait. My first sack of the postseason!"
"I'm going to get late hits on me, too. And, I also know that I'm most likely going to throw the ball to the wrong team. When those things happen, I definitely know that I'm going to make stupid faces; I'm going to have a dumbfounded look when I throw an interception. But, most of all, I know that I'm going to try to play my best, because that's what Mike Martz and Lovie Smith want me to do."
"Changing things up? Preparing a QB? I've always felt that was unnecessary," Offensive Coordinator Mike Martz said. "Kurt [Warner] went through that; obviously it was his first time. But they know; Cutler has been around. He's been sacked over 40 times this season! He can handle it."

We were glad that all the noisemakers (the cannon, police cars, and fire trucks) went by right away so we could all relax. (He did love the CMU band, which went by just before the ROTC group did.)
Unpredictable dogs (with their tendency to bark and jump up on people) have also been a source of anxiety for C1. However he did Ok around my friend's dog here and did not need me nor my husband to help calm him. He was able to sit calmly for most of the parade.
My was relaxed and happy for most of the outing. This was taken before the parade began. He was just as happy and calm at the end.
Note: My son's attitude has improved over last year when he was rooting for strong defense from the wrong team so that the cannon would not be fired. This year he's been cheering for CMU even though it is not uncommon for them to score 40 0r more points per home game. (That means a lot of cannon shots!!!) I had to take him home early during the first home game this year, but he bravely sat through the next two victorious home games. We are proud of him! : )

I had an iPhone 3G that I've given to my friend. I had a number of paid apps that I left on there in the hope my friend would be able to use them, however when he tries to sync iTunes tries to delete them all.
I no longer have an iPhone and so have no need for these apps - is there any way that I can give these apps to my friend?

Fly is now Open Source/
It's a known fact that ninjas like open source. There are many good reasons for releasing your source code into the open, but in the end we do it because it feels right.
The Fly app was originally hacked up over a weekend in late 2010, but has been polished a bit since then (although there are still some rough edges here and there). The Qt version has been published in Ovi Store (both for Symbian and MeeGo) and Google Play (experimental) and we've had some pretty good download numbers, for a local app.
That's not to say that it's anywhere near perfect. There are lots of improvements that can be made. If you feel like improving it, the sky is the limit! (pun intended ;) ).
It has been a long time coming, but we have finally released the Fly source code as open source. You can clone the github repository here or browse the source code here. Happy hacking!

From a marketing standpoint, it makes no sense right now to not Had VHS held up as a selling platform until 2005, this might not have been a necessary step. DVD is no longer the future, DVD is the here-and-now, if there is an OT DVD set, it will only be Lucasfilm acknowledging that fact.

HAYWARD — A 31-year-old woman thrown more than 100 feet in a hit-and-run crash in Hayward this week remained in critical condition on Friday, police said.
Officers were called at 6:13 p.m. Wednesday to the southbound lanes of Hesperian Boulevard near Tahoe Avenue for a report of a pedestrian hit by a vehicle, said Sgt. Chad Olthoff.
When police arrived, they found the woman unconscious in the roadway.
The woman, police said, was walking west on Hesperian in a crosswalk when she was hit by a car traveling south on Hesperian Boulevard.
The impact, Olthoff said, threw the woman 112 feet.
She was taken to a hospital where she underwent surgery for life-threatening injuries, police said. As of Friday, she remained in critical condition, Olthoff said.
After the crash, Ormsby said, the car did not stop. The car was described as a black, newer model sporty-looking sedan.
About 10:45 p.m. Union City Police Department officers located a car matching that description on Chippendale Lane and police learned that neighbors watched someone park the car about 6:20 p.m. After the car was parked, witnesses told police that two males got out of the car and ran away.
As of Friday no arrests had been made.
The crash remains under investigation. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call police at 510-293-7034.

INIKA Mineral Foundation
I bought the lightest shade Grace (£25.55), it does darken slightly on application but is just light enough for me, though probably best suited to a MAC shade 15. My mother has the next shade up called Strength and this is a good match for her, she would be a MAC shade 20/25. I thought I'd show them both together, you can see that both lean warm in tone.
It causes my skin no breaks outs nor irritation.The coverage is extremely good, you can really go full with this if you choose to.
It doesn't make me look oily/shiny but does impart a bit of radiance to the skin. I find it wears well through the day.
One thing I would say is that I do have to buff it in well over my pores (I do find this a common problem with mineral foundations though) so it is worth getting the right brush for this.
The only real drawback I have found with this is application on skin that is rather dry. I have had this for a while now but have noticed as my skin gets dryer with this colder weather, it has started looking a bit cakey/dry on me. So for the colder winter months I'll switch back to a liquid foundation.
Overall I'm very pleased and I will certainly re-buy this.
I bought this from beingcontent.com

I do like the look of the Inika range and would like to give it a try, although my current Lily Lolo one is serving me well at the moment.ReplyDelete
May I ask what kabuki brush you find works well with this too? Thank you x
It looks nice in your swatches. I like the idea of having vegan and organic cosmetics. I often use mineral makeup instead of liquid foundation as I find it much more convenient to apply. Thank you for the review! :)ReplyDelete
I need to have a look at this range!ReplyDelete
Thank so much for this review Replica. I wondered about it when I visited Content Beauty before I left, but in the end I opted for the Jane Iredale pressed mineral foundation instead. The "pressed" bit Nd the portability clinched it for me I think and I have been happy with it.ReplyDelete
I know what you mean though, mineral mu is not for everyone. I had a disastrous encounter in the past with the Philosophy mineral foundation that turned my face into a Xmas disco glitterfest and have been distrustful ever since lol.
Have a lovely weekend hon :)
Nina x
PS ooops, sorry about the typos...damn autocorrect!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for the review. I think I am about to embark on a little mineral foundation experiment and you have reminded me that my skin often feels dry wearing these kinds of powders. My face is quite dry already with the weather and central heating. I'll have to think how I'll manage to tackle this. Have you tried any other INIKA products out of interest? xxReplyDelete
Hi Meeta,ReplyDelete
I didn't get on with the Lily Lolo one, made me ichy and broke me out, shame as I know that is a popular one.
I use the Illamasqua blusher brush 1 and highlighter brush for application, as they are densely packed so seem to buff it in really well.
Hi Makeup Magpie,
I am getting more into the organic, more ethically minded brands, I do think I overlooked them in the past.
Hi Vintage Makeup,
I think I will be exploring it more as well :)
Hi Nina,
Just imagining you with your Xmas disco glitterfest ;)
I was really tempted by the Jane Iredale as have seen lots of good reviews for it, but there was something in it that I thought my skin wouldn't like, I have a feeling it was algae x
Hi Jane,
My face isn't liking this weather either, though I am finding mixing the Pai rosehip oil in with my moisturiser quite good.
The only other INIKA products I have tried are the pencil liner and loose shadow (do you remeber they come out with a magazine a while back) I really liked both and keep meaning to try more but when searching online I have come across very little in the way of real product pictures/swatches so can't really make up my mind what colours to try xx
I want to try this brand, but I might wait because I also get very dry skin the winter.ReplyDelete
Hi Mary,ReplyDelete
Yes, might be worth waiting till its less chilly, though they do a liquid foundation as well that I have seen really great reviews of :)
Hii guysReplyDelete
I notice a few comments about dry skin this time of year and mineral powders. I have been using the Inika Primer under my powder foundation and it is fantastic. I normally suffer really bad dry skin in winter but this year my skin's been greatand the smell is fantastic, it's a really beautiful product. I notice Inika is launching on QVC tonight and they are selling the Primer cheaply, well worth trying if you ae not already using it.

Excessive waste at DOJ
As the March 1 sequestration deadline approached, Attorney General Eric Holder dramatically warned that the Justice Department would be forced to make cuts that threaten the safety of all Americans. Holder claimed that cuts to the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, U.S. Marshals Service, and U.S. Attorneys Office would diminish the department's ability to investigate and prosecute crimes. He also warned that budget reductions at the Bureau of Prisons could lead to lockdowns and violence.
However, a line-by-line look at spending patterns at the DOJ reveals many areas of wasteful spending, suggesting that these ominous threats are part of a scare-tactic narrative to promote the Obama administration's political agenda. If the administration would set aside the theatrics, government officials could use this opportunity to root out waste and redundancy that divert resources from the department's critical missions.
Story Continued Below
The House Judiciary Committee has examined recent spending trends at the DOJ and has found several examples of wasteful and duplicative spending, all of which are paid for by taxpayers. Here are just a few examples.
Instead of prison breaks, prisons break budget: Despite the clear disapproval from Congress last year, the DOJ purchased an unused prison in Illinois. The department spent $165 million to purchase this prison, even though the Bureau of Prisons already had four brand-new federal prisons sitting empty and waiting to be put to use. In addition to the initial $165 million, this unauthorized purchase continues to cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. It has been estimated that it will cost $6 million a year to secure the empty prison and an additional $70 million before it is even operational.
Looking good for Hollywood: Tax dollars are also used at the department to help the entertainment industry. The FBI has its own Investigative Publicity and Public Affairs Unit, which is dedicated to helping Hollywood make movies and TV shows, including "The Kingdom," "Fast and Furious 4," "CSI," "Numb3rs" and "Without a Trace." This perk for Hollywood comes with an annual price tag of $1.5 million to the American taxpayer.
Meet and greets: In addition, the DOJ staff hosted numerous conferences around the country. In 2010 alone, the department spent nearly $100 million on conferences, which is twice what was spent two years earlier. This includes more than $600,000 in event-planner costs for five conferences, even though the need for this was not shown.

Either the Houston Rockets veterans had a little fun with Aaron Brooks this weekend or he forgot to bring his ventriloquist dummy to the post-game press conference.
As noted yesterday, the Rockets only seem to get better by removing stars from their lineup. Aaron Brooks, whom I'm told is not the former quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, scored 34 points as Houston played its best game of the season without Tracy McGrady or Yao Ming. It was pretty embarrassing for the Lakers. I'm sorry—Phil Jackson doesn't get fucking embarrassed.
Anyway, Brooks says everyone on the team has one of these snazzy red jackets and he was told that wearing them was mandatory, so he decided to take it up a notch with the kick-ass bow tie. Brooks was later taken out back to have his kneecaps broken in order to keep the "lose a player, win a game" strategy rolling.

My idea (in my teenage years) of how to become a professional basketball player was a bit desperate. To cover for my height and my athletic (dis)abilities, I would simply practice how to shoot perfectly from every corner of the court. I would not have to run or jump. My team could pass the ball to me at the right moment and I would shoot. (I was a little worried that once I mastered this ability they would change the rules of the game.)
But this idea did not work. As much as I practiced, I could not shoot perfectly from all corners of the court, and not even from the usual places. In fact, my shooting was below average (although not as much below average as my other basketball skills.)
Next came my idea how to become a professional football (soccer) player. This idea was based on mathematics, an area where I had some advantage over other ambitious sports people; more precisely, my idea was based on the intermediate value theorem. (We had a post about this theorem.)
The idea is this: If you put a football on your head and start running the ball will fall from behind. But if you put the ball on your forehead and start running the ball will fall in front of you. By the intermediate value theorem, there must be a point, in between, such that if you run with the ball at this point, the ball will not fall at all. In fact you can find such a point for every way you would like to run. And you can even learn to adjust it if you change your route! The plan was now simple. At the right moment I would get the ball from my team, put it on the right point on my forehead start running and slalom my way towards the goal. (I was a little worried that once I mastered this ability they would change the rules of the game.) I practiced it for several weeks, but the progress was insufficient and I had to give up my dream.
Update (Oct 2010) : I had some hopes that this idea will revolutionize football. After all, the fact that I did not succeed can be explained by my own poor football abilities (as a child, I was usually assigned behind the goalkeeper to catch the ball if needed and I got this responsible position mainly because I owned the ball.) However, Shmuel's observation led to the thought that rather a revolution which will change the face of football, we may witness an impossibility result in mathematical football, showing why this idea is not feasible. However, a recent discussion with Tim Gowers gives hope that indeed football can be revolutionized by a simple extension, suggested by Tim, of the original idea. You can place the ball between the foreheads of two, three or even four players who can then run together (this will require some practice) and score a goal!
Update: Victoria Beckham demonstrates the intermediate value theorem.

Mom Visits Former US Marine on Death Row in Iran
(NEW YORK) -- The mother of the former U.S. Marine sentenced to death in Iran was allowed to visit her son, who she said looked gaunt and terrified on death row.
Amir Hekmati's mother, Benhaz, went to Tehran in late January, according to a report posted late Tuesday by The New York Times, three weeks after an Iranian court sentenced the 28-year-old Arizona-raised Iranian-American to death for, "cooperating for a hostile country...and spying for the CIA."
"While he is disappointed by the circumstances he finds himself in, he is hopeful that the truth will be known and he will be able to come home very soon," Hekmati's mother said in a statement, according to The Times. She described the Iranian officials she met as "hospitable" and "respectful," but said her son looked thinner and shocked by his ordeal.
Hekmati's family has publicly maintained his innocence, as first voiced by his father Ali to ABC News in an exclusive interview before the death sentence came down.
"My son is no spy. He is innocent. He's a good fellow, a good citizen, a good man," Ali said in December. "These are all unfounded allegations and a bunch of lies."
Hekmati, an Arizona-born Iranian-American who served the U.S. Marines as a rifleman from 2001 to 2005, was arrested while visiting his extended family, including two elderly grandmothers, in Tehran on Aug. 29, 2011, according to the family. The family said they were urged by the Iranian government to keep quiet about his arrest with the promise of later release, but then in December, Hekmati was shown on Iranian television allegedly confessing to being an undercover agent of the Central Intelligence Agency on a mission to infiltrate the Iranian Intelligence Ministry.
"It was their [the CIA's] plan to first burn some useful information, give it to them [the Iranians] and let Iran's Intelligence Ministry think that this is good material," Hekmati says calmly in the video.
Contrary to claims made during the initial Iranian broadcast, Hekmati's military record, provided to ABC News, shows that he never had intelligence training and the U.S. State Department said in early January Iran's claims that Hekmati "either worked for, or was sent to Iran by the CIA are simply untrue."
"The Iranian regime has a history of falsely accusing people of being spies, of eliciting forced confessions, and of holding innocent Americans for political reasons," State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland said then.
With the exception of the rare family statement criticizing Iran's previous lack of cooperation, Hekmati's kin, now represented by a high-powered attorney and a public relations firm, have been quiet in their dogged efforts to free the 28-year-old.
"By remaining discreet, you are not ruling out the option to be more public later," the family's lawyer in America, Pierre-Richard Prosper, told The Times. "A more visible campaign has not been ruled out."
Shortly before Benhaz's visit, Hekmati's lawyers in Tehran filed an appeal with courts there.
Eric Volz, a spokesperson for the family, did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment on this report. A website set up by representatives of the family, FreeAmir.org, posted The New York Times' story in place of a new family statement.

Sat May 17, 2016: Very nice, glad I have it, and it's my 3rd one, silver and now 10k gold. I had it on the same wrist as my watch and already managed to scratch it a bit, so moved to other wrist. I'm the only one that can see the scratch, so it's ok.

Fri Jan 13, 2012: The bracelet is a good design, the chain is excellent, the fit is good. However, it is less than a month old and the gold has already worn off around the edge of the ID portion of the bracelet. It's a bit pricey for this to have happened already.

Tue Aug 31, 2010: The overall asthetics of the bracelet are nice. The less bulky size makes it more feminine. Very disappointed in the sizing. Used the suggested method and bracelet was too big Had to pay 30 to have it shortened, but I would use your company again and recommend it to others.

Sun Jul 04, 2010: I was pleased with my medical ID. Although I would have preferred a heavier gauge gold in the linkage. I also think the engraving could be a little deeper, not only for lasting quality but also for better legibility
