The twist out is a super gorgeous hair style that fits every occasion. You can wear it to work, glam it up for a cocktail affair, or just rock it to a concert. Sadly many people can't rock that perfect twist out because they are missing a few key steps. Let me give you the keys; time to unlock your perfect twist out!
- Start off with clean, wet or damp hair
- Thoroughly moisturize hair. It is important that your hair is well moisturized because your twist out will lack shine when it is complete.
- Proportion the twists to the size you want your definition to be. The best twist outs come from flat twist (basically the same as cornrows, except it is twists instead of braids).

- Use a defining pudding or setting foam as you are twisting your wet or damp hair. This will best define the twists, sealing in the bends.
- Sit under the hair dryer until hair is completely dry. This is very important: your hair must be completely dry before unraveling the twists.
- For the best results leave the twists in for a couple of days. Some of the best twist outs have come from leaving the twists in for 1 – 2 days.
- Use a small amount of moisturizer or oil as you unravel your twists. This will give your hair a light glossy finish.
Simply follow the above methods and you're on your way home to a perfect twist out. The best news is…the older your hair gets the better your twist out looks!
Which perfect twist out is your favorite!?

Lucifer came back! We finally get to see him and Sam together again and they still ignore the third brother. But first let's recap.
Crowley in PJ's
We start this episode out with a weird dream sequence where whoever was shopping for Crowley bought his present at Game Stop evidently. I could practically hear all the Dean/Crowley shippers groan when he got a Sam doll not a Dean doll. However it was cute to see this scene and then awesome to see Lucifer team up with Rowena. Not that I like Rowena, but Lucifer an awesome bad guy to have around.
Meanwhile back in Hell
Sam and Lucifer have been hanging out since before Christmas (OK I know is Supernatural time it's not been that long, but you know what I mean). One of the biggest questions I had at that episode is still unanswered though. Lucifer is in the cage. . .alone?
Anyway Lucifer taunts Sam. Sam fights back. Lucifer tries to get Sam to hate his family. Then cue flashbacks.
Also cue a pull at the feels.
Lucifer points out every crappy plot device ever.
On their wild trip through Sam's memory we get to see a short memory of Sam looking cool kid to some girl. Then they make out. Somehow this shows how Sam used to make up his own mind.
Then switch to a flashback of the cemetery scene when Sam goes to Hell and takes Adam/Michael with him. AKA the best episode ever.
Lucifer also takes him to see his mistake with Amelia. I don't agree with what Lucifer says about being indecisive, but I agree Amelia was a horrible boring character and this storyline didn't make sense at all while watching it and doesn't make any more sense the second time around. Yes I think Sam feels guilty for not looking for Dean, but I blame Amelia on the writers not on Sam.
Crowley and Rowena
Crowley has realized what Rowena did and is threatening her again. I miss my BA King of Hell that so would have killed her forever ago or at least tortured her a bunch. Rowena professes her love and adoration for Lucifer and explains how great everything will be when he's out. I'm so happy Crowley pointed out that she's still falling for some line from a guy. Which we find out later is what happened when she had Crowley too.
The Adventures of Dean and Cas
After the best voicemail messages ever Dean and Castiel are pulled over on the side of the road while Dean pukes. Evidently smiting makes people sick so he can't go check out the site where they tried to kill The Darkness so Dean leaves and Cas goes it alone. (Which is a good idea right?)
Cas goes and searches the area and finds hipster millennial angel that I for a while suspected was a bad guy, but turns out she was just an idiot. Meanwhile Dean goes to Hell and has to sing Camptown Races for some reason to get in.
However he doesn't do it as well as the guys on Blazing Saddles:
If you're unaware of what Blazing Saddles is– I'm sorry and I pity you.
Dean gets a witch catcher from the Reaper Billie who has it out for the boys and takes the stairs. I wish that Dean had had a few sick moments going down as well. After all he spent years in Hell and it's not really a good memory for him.
Crowley takes the witch catcher from Dean, is overheard by Rowena, but Crowley had a backup, or original plan–whatever–and she is drugged and is easily captured.
Cas finally finds Amara and she makes it obvious he's no match for her and she sends him to Hell to deliver a message. (I do wonder did he do what she wanted or did he do what he did in defiance of her?) She does have a weird almost fainting spell after she sends him off though so maybe her eating the hipster angel hurt her.
Avengers Assemble
Lucifer is still trying to convince Sam (and I don't want to believe that Gabriel is dead no matter what Lucifer says). What I don't think Lucifer sees though is that Sam had hope that God was helping and finding out that that was Lucifer all the time I feel like has squashed all hope from Sam. If God isn't going to help he's only going to trust Dean and Dean wouldn't ever want him to say Yes to Satan. (Love the move to L.A. and solve crimes comment though from Lucifer).
For once Sam realized that making a choice to work with a super bad guy will only end badly (too bad Cas didn't get that memo).
Lucifer begins to hurt Sam so in runs Cas and and Dean and they get sucked in too–so that Lucifer can start hurting them too. Great ideas all around.
While Dean is checking on Sam and letting him know they just need to hold on for a few minutes Cas is over in the corner making stupid decisions, but to everyone else it looks like Rowena succeeds and Lucifer is gone.
Dean I actually did the right thing for once.
They leave Hell, slightly worried about the odd acting Cas (which of course when is he not odd?). Crowley and Rowena have a creepy love/hate conversation which Cas interrupts to tell everyone SURPRISE! He's really Lucifer. My question for this is– if other angels could hold Lucifer why didn't they do that the last go round? Or will Cas burn up like the last vessel?
Thankfully Rowena gets her neck snapped and appears to be dead– which looks a little too easy, but hopefully is true and then Cas/Lucifer sits down to have a talk with Crowley.
Will Lucifer/Cas really be able to defeat Amara? Is she already hurt? Will Dean have to die to allow Amara to die? How amazing will Misha Collins be as yet another person in the same body? Will Mark Pellegrino show back up? Cause I really love him as Lucifer– it'd be nice if we saw him and Cas fighting each other– in Cas's head. Or does Cas even have a head now? Is he gone or is he still in his body too?
Most importantly– will anyone remember that they still have a brother locked up in the cage with now just Michael? Might as well let him out now too.

Donating land for conservation purposes is truly one of the finest
legacies a person can leave to future generations. It may be the best
conservation strategy for you if you do not wish to pass the land on to heirs;
own property you no longer use; own highly appreciated property; have
substantial real estate holdings and wish to reduce estate tax burdens; or
would like to be relieved of the responsibility of managing and caring for
Donating land releases you from the responsibility of managing the land and can provide substantial income tax deductions and estate tax benefits (while avoiding any capital gains taxes that would have resulted from selling the property). Most important, if the land is donated because of its conservation value, it will be protected. (Although our focus here is on conservation land, commercial and residential properties can also be donated to a land trust, with the understanding that the organization will sell the land to support its conservation work.)
Donating a remainder interest in land
An outright donation is not the only way to give land. You can continue to live on the land by donating a remainder interest and retaining a reserved life estate. In this arrangement, you donate the property during your lifetime, but continue to live on and use the property. When you die (or sooner if you choose), the land trust gains full title and control over the property.
By donating a remainder interest, you can continue to enjoy your land and may be eligible for an income tax deduction when the gift is made. The deduction is based on the fair market value of the donated property less the expected value of the reserved life estate.
Donating land by will
If you want to own and control your land during your lifetime, but assure its protection after your death, you can donate it by will. You should make sure the chosen recipient is willing and able to receive the gift.
Land donations that establish a life income
If you have land you would like to protect by donating it to a land trust, but need to receive income during your lifetime, you might use a charitable gift annuity. In a charitable gift annuity, you agree to transfer certain property to a charity, and the charity agrees to make regular annuity payments to one or two beneficiaries you specify for life.
Your gift of land usually qualifies for a charitable income tax deduction at the time of the gift, based on the value of the land less the expected value of the annuity payments.
Another option for donating property and receiving regular income is a charitable remainder unitrust. You place the land in a trust, first putting a conservation easement on it if it is to be protected. Then the trustee sells the land and invests the net proceeds from the sale. One or more beneficiaries you specify receive payments each year for a fixed term or for life, then the trustee turns the remaining funds in the trust over to the land trust.
The gift qualifies for a charitable income tax deduction when the land is put in the trust, based on the value of the land less the expected value of the payments.
Charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder unitrusts are most useful for highly appreciated land, the sale of which would incur high capital gains tax.

A bride narrowly escaped death in an auto crash while on her way from her wedding. The accident involving a NNPC tanker with number plate XG 321 MKA, a cargo truck and two saloon cars happened at about 4: 45pm on Saturday, close to the Otedola bridge, Alausa, on Lagos/Ibadan Expressway.
Our reporter who witnessed the accident said the NNPC truck, while descending the slop from Alausa at top speed, could not hold its break. It then ran into the first car and squashed the second one against the cargo truck. The bride and her husband were said to have jumped out of their car.

"If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast." – William Tecumseh Sherman
The UTC Annual Symposium on the 19th Century Press, the Civil War, and Free Expression is designed to share current research and to develop a series of monographs on the 19th century press, the Civil War and the press, and 19th century concepts of free expression.
The symposium will be held Thursday – Saturday, November 7 – 9. It will begin Thursday afternoon at the Sheraton Read House Hotel and continue Friday and Saturday at the UTC University Center. All paper sessions are free and open to the public.
Papers will deal with U.S. mass media of the 19th century, the Civil War in fiction and history, freedom of expression in the 19th century, presidents and the 19th century press, images of race and gender in the 19th century press, and sensationalism and crime in 19th century newspapers.
Papers from the first five conferences were published by Transaction Publishers in 2000 as a book of readings called The Civil War and the Press. Purdue University Press also published papers from past conferences in three distinctly different books titled Memory and Myth: The Civil War in Fiction and Film from Uncle Tom's Cabin to Cold Mountain (2007), Words at War: The Civil War and American Journalism (2008), and Seeking a Voice: Images of Race and Gender in the 19th Century Press (2009). Recently, Transaction Publishers published Sensationalism: Murder, Mayhem, Mudslinging, Scandals, and Disasters in 19th Century Reporting (2013).
This event is sponsored by David B. Sachsman, the director of the conference and holder of the UTC West Chair of Excellence, the UTC Departments of Communication and History, the Walter and Leona Schmitt Family Foundation Research Fund, and the Hazel Dicken-Garcia Fund for the Symposium.

Thanks to social media, the number of invitations to reunions coming my way has increased dramatically over the last few years.
Not that I am complaining and neither is my wife, for she too has been receiving the same and no less in number at that.
These reunions, as is widely acknowledged, have in turn led to impromptu mini reunions either at the fancy upmarket watering holes or at the down-to-earth 'restoran mamak' on the other end of the scale.
One of the prerequisites to getting invited to these reunions is to be part of a larger group and its a given that being an alumnus of a certain school or college would do nicely, thank you very much.
I myself had attended quite a few of these reunions, that being of my alma mater, The Malay College of Kuala Kangsar (Class of 73-77). Being at this stage of life, most of these reunions come in the form of wedding receptions.
It must however be clarified that these wedding receptions were held for offsprings and not that, as some are wont to speculate, for a member of the group, lest there be any thoughts to the contrary.
As for my other alma maters (or almae matres, to use the more fanciful Latin version) ie The University of Wales at Cardiff (as it now called), The Norfolk College of Arts & Technology, King's Lynn (NORCAT) and Wirtschaftsakademie Schleswig-Holstein, Kiel (WAK), I have yet to attend any of the reunions organized, be it major or otherwise. If there had been any organized, that is.
With respect to Cardiff, never ever did I asked myself the all important question : why have I not responded to any of the invitations to mini reunions organized?
The Cardiff group is itself made up of a large number of people, as the group is composed of alumni from two universities (both universities established at different times and as separate entities), a college as well as a polytechnic (now upgraded to university status).
It is common knowledge that the group dynamics of a large group of people can get a bit fraught at times, although it may only involve a very tiny minority.
In plain English, there are just some members of the alumni I least want to renew contacts, ever.
Maybe one day that would change. Maybe. Just maybe. I mean, after all my beef is with just a few of them and not all of them. But for the time being, it is as it is.
As mentioned earlier, another of my alma mater is the Norfolk College of Arts and Technology (NORCAT) of King's Lynn.
If you are wondering just where on earth is King's Lynn (as we all did when we first learnt that we would be heading that-a-way), as they say, google it and you will discover all there is to know about King's Lynn and quite interesting at that as well.
The wonders of technology. Never ceases to amaze me and never underestimate it.
Well, thanks to a few members of our batch of 1978-1980, a reunion was organized recently involving the first two batches of young and very fresh-faced Malaysian students ever shipped there in 1977 and 1978 respectively.
Attending the reunion were thirteen of us kindred souls, all formerly of NORCAT (now renamed College of West Anglia, http://www.cwa.ac.uk), which is significant in itself as quite a number of us have not met each other ever since we parted ways back in 1979 and 1980 respectively.
It was, nevertheless, also a sad occasion as we found out that two members of the 1977-1979 batch had passed away in the intervening years, both, as it was learnt, having succumbed to the Big C.
Personally speaking, it's always sad to hear of a person's passing, what more when it's that of somebody we knew during an impressionable and memorable stage of our lives. May they be forever blessed in His Safekeeping.
During these reunions, catching up is one of the two main themes of the day, the other being reminiscing.
Peering through old photographs was great fun, reminiscing of the days when our 'crowns', as was the fashion back then, were long and black (we're Asians) and flowed freely when the wind blows, as opposed to the current state of our 'crowns' which elicited so much laughter by itself.
And that was just us guys.
As for the ladies, there were a combined total of five ladies from the two batches. Though only three were able to attend, their numbers were reinforced by the wives who gamely attended the reunion with their ex-NORCAT husbands.
The catching up soon turned to the poor souls who attended to us young Malaysians. These poor souls were also known as our lecturers. Not that we expected them to still be tending to their gardens but the memory of our lecturers and their peculiarities made for a good topic.
I got to admit, our lecturers were a very patient lot, they were. Not that we were a very trying or mischievous lot. In fact we were rather quite a well-disciplined one, but the fact remained that the mere presence of us Malaysians were a novelty for NORCAT as well as King's Lynn then, thus presenting a new and very different challenge to our lecturers, in more ways than one.
Yes, there were foreign students and 'students' on student visas (mainly Iranians and Hongkongers) already studying at NORCAT but then again, they were not that many in numbers.
All these catching up and reminiscing was accompanied by some background music : music of the late 1970s with The Commodores with Lionel Richie & Co, The Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), and a host of famous musical acts of the 1970s.
Talking about music, there were also other acts who had a big impact on the music scene then. Barry Manilow, Sir Cliff Richard, Bee Gees, Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Earth Wind and Fire (EWF) and even ABBA, to name but a few.
But I guess my pick has to be Ian Drury & The Blockheads with their No.1 hit 'Hit Me With Your Rythm Stick'. With a name like The Blockheads and an attitude to match, who can ever forget them and last time I checked, they are still on Youtube.
It was not long before we had to part ways again, but this time with old ties re-forged and with a plan to organize a grander and larger reunion for all of us Malaysian students ever so lucky to have the chance to further our education at King's Lynn.
In all honesty, the reunion was much more fun than I expected. Peering through all those pictures of long gone days brought back fond memories : the first time we ever experienced snow fall, of snow fights at the local park, of frozen lakes at Hyde Park, and of apple picking at the Queen's apple orchard at Sandringham.
For me, it also triggered memories of my team Liverpool with Dalglish, Rush, Souness and Co creating havoc at football grounds up and down England and in Europe, of Khomeini, of Thatcher, of Reagan, of BBC's Panorama, of the cold war between US of A and the Soviet Union, of the Iranian revolution and the siege of the American embassy in Tehran, and of the SAS and the Iranian embassy in London.
Very interesting times. Very memorable times. The best of times.
I am rather sold on the idea of reunions and in fact, I might even attend one of them Cardiff ones. I mean, closure has to come sooner or later. And of course, if I do get invited.
Til the next reunion and may it be as memorable as this one was.

Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics
Review of Masters of the Universe: Hayek, Friedman, and the Birth of Neoliberal Politics by Daniel Stedman Jones
Free Downloads:
Volume 17, No. 4 (Winter 2014)
Daniel Stedman Jones
Princeton University Press, 2012, 418 pages
Critics of neoliberalism and its variants including Misesianism have responded to its emergence in two distinct ways: pejoratively,1 or scholarly discourse that seeks to engage neoliberal proponents. The first approach is traceable to the Marxists Kapelush (1925) and Marcuse ([1934] 1968). This low road has been traveled more recently by Krohn (1981), Delong (2009) and Seymour (2010), who, a la Marcuse, smear Mises as pro-fascist when government and private archives show the Austrian worked with U.S. intelligence against Italian fascism and German Nazism in the World War II era.2
The second is a high road, a sincere, scholarly approach to understand and/or engage neoliberalism, the term chosen by participants at the Colloque Walter Lippmann in 1938. Early examples include Brutzkus (1928) and Lange (1939). Recent works include Mirowski and Plehwe (2009),3 and this book by Jones, a London barrister relying on private archives in the U.S. and U.K. Jones claims three historiographic contributions: neoliberalism's transatlantic nature; intellectual history; and emergence as a political and intellectual movement. His work explains neoliberals' emergence on macroeconomics and public policy, but overlooks Mises's archives, and is selective in reporting on the 1960s-era U.S. civil rights movement.
The elections of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (1979) and President Ronald Reagan (1980) are key events in recent works. Mirowski and Plehwe find it significant that the British Conservative and U.S. Republican were aware of Hayek's ideas. Jones also focuses on the period, explaining, "The way in which neoliberal ideas-about individual liberty, free markets and deregulation-translated into electorally successful programs in Britain and the United States between the 1940s and the 1980s is the story of this book." He describes three distinct neoliberal phases. The term began to acquire meaning in the first phase, from "the 1920s to about 1950," as "Austrian school economists and the German ordoliberals sought to define the contours of a market-based society, which they believed was the best way to organize an economy and guarantee individual liberty." The second lasted until Thatcher and Reagan's ascendancy as neoliberalism "grew into a recognizable group of ideas, and also a movement," with the help of businessmen. The third phase, post-1980, "was driven by the advance of an agenda of market liberalization and fiscal discipline into development and trade policy."
Intellectuals, including Mises, whose ideas are viewed as influencing prominent politicians, are of particular interest. "Politicians on the right and, just as important, on the left," Jones explains, "turned to the proposals of figures like Friedrich Hayek, Ludwig von Mises, Milton Friedman, George Stigler, and James Buchanan (all of whom, except Mises, were Nobel Prize winners) when the chimera of stability based on the Bretton Woods Agreement was dispelled. These thinkers were representative of what has become known as neoliberalism." Mises and Hayek were among "the standard-bearers of a new set of ideas that would, later in the twentieth century, transform the intellectual landscape and fundamentally reshape" public policy in both Britain and the U.S.
Jones presents Mises in various roles: socialist critic; Mont Pelerin Society participant; Bureaucracy author; an overlooked yet triumphant visionary; and think tank adherent.
He writes of Mises's first role:
In Vienna in 1920, meanwhile, leading Austrian school economist Ludwig von Mises elaborated the socialist calculation problem: whether economic resources can be allocated efficiently in a planned economy. This question was later refined by Hayek, Mises' student and Keynes's friend and adversary, who argued that the price mechanism operated as an information processor that sent unique, comprehensible signals to producers and consumers that were impossible for planners to replicate. (3)
Jones terms the Mont Pelerin Society "a kind of neoliberal international." (30) Mises's greatest role was not his membership, but writing a book that helped neoliberalism "expand beyond" the Society "and break through into the political mainstream" in Britain, the U.S., and around the world. That book was not Human Action (1949), termed "influential" (35) by Jones, but Bureaucracy (1944), examined in eight-pages. Mises, in "a direct contradiction of the way" neoliberals would conduct policy in the 1980s and 1990s in Britain, "did not believe it was possible to mix market mechanisms and public tasks." He argued, "no reform could transform a public office into a sort of private enterprise." Instead, the state's role had to shrink, and it was reasonable to expect that markets "would accomplish those services that the consumers deem most urgent." (53) Jones elevates Bureaucracy alongside Hayek's The Road to Serfdom (1944) and Popper's The Open Society (1945) in its significance to neoliberalism's growth.
Mises "least noticed at the time," emerged victorious due to his "unalloyed vision of markets." Businessmen liked Mises "because he argued corporations were the drivers of social and economic progress." (83) Their support proved crucial to the success of postwar neoliberal institutions such as think tanks. "Although it is hard to map the direct influence of think tanks on particular government policies, they brought politicians and businessmen into contact with ideas and thinkers through conferences, journals, and newspapers." (159) Jones describes the process thus:
Cosmopolitan, transatlantic and international in their outlook, there was a process of cross-fertilization that carried on, imperceptible to the wider political classes or the public, that nevertheless shored up the intellectual infrastructure of neoliberalism. (170)
The think tank was the preferred vehicle of neoliberals, including Mises. The "economic policy successes of business," Jones notes, "have been striking when compared to the relatively unsuccessful Christian conservative attempts to roll back the sexual and cultural revolutions of the 1960s." (153) The Institute of Economic Affairs, which saw itself as a serious research establishment (331), was the most important group in the transatlantic neoliberal network. The Heritage Foundation,4 by contrast, tried to pass the "briefcase test. "Heritage briefings were meant to provide a primer on a particular issue that a congressman could digest on the train home in an accessible form that fit into his briefcase." (163) Neoliberalism's first success, which emerged from Mont Pelerin, was in West Germany where ordoliberals influenced Konrad Adenauer's and Ludwig Erhard's Christian Democratic governments. (88) Bigger breakthroughs occurred when conventional liberalism was discredited in 1970s-era economic crises. These included the 1971 collapse of Bretton Woods because of the expense of the Vietnam War, the decline in American gold reserves, and the continued expense of LBJ's antipoverty programs. (219) Neoliberal influence extended beyond Thatcher and Reagan. Transatlantic neoliberalism had become the preeminent reservoir for alternative Republican and Conservative social and economic policy ideas (and often for the Labour Party and Democratic Party, too)." (86) Jones includes, "arguably," former President Bill Clinton and prime ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown as neoliberal "political symbols." (17)
Milton Friedman's "deceptively simple" monetarism, built on Keynesian foundations (205), and his "ability to communicate complex economic ideas" (211) gave him an advantage over the Austrian School and the gold standard. A breakthrough occurred in Britain in 1975, when Chancellor Dennis Healey presented the first postwar budget in which full employment was not the highest priority. The move "arguably marked the Labor government's conversion to a form of monetarism." (241–242) The irony is that Healey thought "Keynesian and monetarist strategies were both flawed" (245). But Labor, faced with an unhappy British public, accepted "the monetarist critique of demand management." (247)
Healey explained:
Like long-term weather forecasts (economic forecasts) are better than nothing…. The most fashionable reaction to these uncertainties, which has made it so difficult to follow Keynesian prescriptions in managing demand, was to drop Keynes in favor of Milton Friedman, and rely simply on controlling the money supply. However, no one has yet found an adequate definition of money, no one knows how to control it, and no one except Friedman himself is certain exactly how the control of money supply will influence inflation, which is supposed to be its only purpose." (246)
The lesson for Austrians is that crises drive opportunity when entering the public square. Deregulation of the U.S. airline industry in the late 1970s occurred in a crisis and is "another example of the successful breakthrough into the political mainstream of a neoliberal policy insight." (249) A recent example is the Great Recession (2007–2009), a Federal Reserve-engendered crisis that opened the door for Congressman Ron Paul's two New York Times' best-sellers (2008, 2009).
Austrians should appreciate Jones's presentation of Mises in various roles. His suggestion that Mises could be practical in approaching postwar Europe's reconstruction warrants further inquiry. But his interpretation of the 1960s-era U.S. civil rights era is incomplete. Jones describes the right's "powerful opposition" to the movement early (15), later noting the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's failure to sell units to tenants (315) and the reformist essence (318) of the enterprise zone, a British think tank import. Jones cites neoliberal failures but ignores the work of Murray Rothbard, a neoliberal and Mises's student, in the area of civil rights. Rothbard edited Left and Right, a journal that opposed segregation laws, restrictions on the rights on blacks to vote, and police brutality (1965); defended Julian Bond, "a brilliant young leader" of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee after he was denied his legislative seat (1966); and criticized government "urban renewal" (1967) in black neighborhoods. Rothbard advocated Black Power (1968) and property rights reparations (1969) as a solution to slavery's legacy in the U.S.
The slaves gained their freedom, it is true, but the land, the plantations that they had tilled and therefore deserved to own under the homestead principle, remained in the hands of their former masters. Furthermore, no reparations were granted the slaves for their oppression out of the hides of their masters. Hence the abolition of slavery remained unfinished, and the seeds of a new revolt have remained to intensify to the present day. Hence, the great importance of the shift in Negro demands from greater welfare handouts to "reparations", reparations for the years of slavery and exploitation and for the failure to grant the Negroes their land, the failure to heed the Radical abolitionist's call for "40 acres and a mule" to the former slaves. In many cases, moreover, the old plantations and the heirs and descendants of the former slaves can be identified, and the reparations can become highly specific indeed.
Transatlantic neoliberalism is more nuanced than the "highly-disciplined and effective" movement described by Jones (337) when Mises's anti-fascist intelligence work and Rothbard's application of homesteading to civil rights are included.
- 1. Murray Rothbard has used the term smearbund to describe this approach.
- 2. The U.S. intelligence groups that Mises worked with were the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and the War Department's Military Intelligence Division. Mises also worked with the Office of War Information (OWI).
- 3. Gregg (2013), sympathetic to neoliberalism, describes it as "commonly used to describe a group of mainly German economic thinkers uneasy with laissez-faire ideas, but far more market-oriented in their economic and policy prescriptions than Keynes." (72)
- 4. Jones cites Murray Rothbard's role in starting the Cato Institute (165) but not his later disagreement with the group.

Dearest air conditioning,
A happy 110th birthday to you, my dirty, dirty mistress.
You've come a long way since your Buffalo-based papa, Dr. Willis Haviland Carrier (aka "the Father of Cool"), birthed you on July 17, 1902 in an effort to control humidity in a sweltering printing plant in Brooklyn. Looking back, it wasn't until 1925 that America truly became truly smitted with your chill-inducing charms after making your splashy public debut at the Rivoli Theatre in Times Square. And things haven't quite been the same since. By 1965, one in every 10 homes in America had installed you, a number that's dramatically increased over the last 40 years. Your current popularity, in China at least, shows no signs of wavering and, to this day, you remain a lifesaver, a crutch, an object of envy and debate, a maker of both weaklings and champions, an energy-hogging contributor to global warming, and my best friend that I love to hate.
I apologize that I'm a full day late with my well wishes but I was too busy yesterday baking a moist and delicious Funfetti® cake that I presented to your GE-manufactured descendants that currently reside in two windows — bedroom and living room — of my apartment. Or not.
Here in Brooklyn, not too far from your very first home, the temperature hovered around 100 degrees on your birthday proper so the very last thing that I wanted to do, aside from go outside for a jog, was to turn on my oven. Besides, I was far too busy simultaneously freaking out about how I'm going to pay my electric bill, checking out Google Street View imagery of Antarctica, strategically positioning portable fans, fielding conservation alert texts from ConEdison (thanks CoolNYC!), and trying to figure out methods in which to use you less without melting. I even took the time to review a couple basic efficiency tips kindly sent along to me by your relatives at the Carrier Corporation, one of which, "In hot weather, keep the thermostat at an even, comfortable level (75 – 78⁰ F) to help reduce energy use and utility costs," I've really taken to heart as of late.
Obviously, I had a busy day and you played a large part of it.
Reads a New York Times article published on your big day:
A junior engineer from a furnace company [Dr. Carrier] figured out a solution so simple that it had eluded everyone from Leonardo da Vinci to the naval engineers ordered to cool the White House when President James A. Garfield was dying: controlling humidity. 'If you could keep humidity at a balanced rate,' said Marsha E. Ackermann, the author of 'Cool Comfort: America's Romance With Air-Conditioning' (Smithsonian Books, 2002), 'it would not seem so sweltering and things would not be dripping all over.'
It was a world-changing innovation. 'Air-conditioning, in the broad sense, had a profound effect on the way people lived and worked,' said Bernard A. Nagengast, an engineering consultant who specializes in the history of air-conditioning and heating. 'It allowed industry to operate in ways it couldn't operate before, in places it couldn't operate before.'
It's probably a touch unrealistic to also wish you a happy retirement at this point as I, and much of America, continue you to need and rely on you (funny enough, I actually wasn't fully familiar with your chilly charms, in a residential context at least, until my early 20s when I moved from the Pacific Northwest to the Northeast). Moving forward, however, I think it's time we take a look back at the cooling techniques we employed before you were born. Here's hoping that by the time you reach the ripe old age of 120, things are a lot different.
Anyways, don't mean to keep you as I know you've been extremely busy for you as of late ... this summer has been brutal with a capital B. Since I never got around to baking that cake, here's a link to a bunch of videos of adorable dogs enjoying you. And please, if you see your old friend the shopping mall around, please wish it a happy 60th for me.
Yours in comfort,

Another year, and already sakura season's almost over, thank God. So exhausting, all that relaxing under the cherry blossom trees, for real.
Sakura season isn't just great. It's better than great, whatever that is, since everyone's waited like six months for Japan to get warm again, and then once it does, Boom! it's Hanami Party Explosion. I guess I should say that hanami is a Japanese word that translates to "Sitting under blossoming trees on giant blue plastic sheets and drinking ridiculous amounts of sake while eating boxes of rice with little weiners shaped like octopuses." But maybe "hanami" sounds better, and anyway it's shorter.
Japanese April Fool's Joke
On a related note, have you noticed that everything in Japan starts on April first, like a giant April Fool's joke the nation plays on its citizens? Schools start, companies welcome their new employees, and contracts are renewed. I finally figured out why.
See, if you had to face a year of working till midnight six days a week, and you got a contract in gray, freezing January, you'd say, Screw this, I'm moving to Thailand. But in the springtime, when you see all those pink trees with their lovely cotton candy flowers, you think, Ahhh, Japan, how could I have ever doubted you? I love you. Now, where do I sign? Then a week later it rains and all the flowers are gone, and you're like, Aw, man, what've I done? Probably drank way too much sake, is what.
So once the flowers start to bloom, everyone and their employee races to the park to stake out the best spots under the flowering trees. And then the not-so-great spots next to the bushes. And then some rocky-ass ledge overlooking a canal, because you got there late. But you've only got a few days to get in your massive bacchanalia and then it's back to work for a year, so you invite everyone you know—come to my hanami!
My Faulty DNA
My problem, as any doctor will tell you, is that I have no self control. I just can not not go to every hanami party I'm invited to. It's genetic, so it's not my fault. Don't hate on the handicapped, is what I'm saying. So rather than lazily stumbling to the park in the sun with a couple cans of malt liquor and and falling asleep on the children's swingset, I spend most of my hanami time hustling through train stations from one party to the next. There's a lot of flowers to see. And if I don't see them all, who will? I'm responsible like that.
Walk like a Zombie in Japan
So I'm rushing from one hanami to another, and it's hazardous, because Japanese people have an almost pathological lack of spacial awareness when they walk. Every day is like National Sleepwalking Day. So as I'm flying down the street on my bike to Ueno park, this dude decides to step off the curb right in front of me. Not even a look before launching his body into the street. Good thing I wasn't drunk, because I swerved and just missed him. I probably should have snatched his man-purse and kept going, but I didn't because I'm responsible, as I said. Plus it was brown and I was wearing mostly black, so it wouldn't have matched. Anyway, this happens all the time. People are constantly making lefts, rights, and u-turns in the middle of crowds without once lifting their heads. I understand if you're texting on your iPhone, because hey, we all do that, but no smartphone equals no excuse, amigo. So buy one already. Anyway, two hanamis and several cocktails later, I found myself running down the stairs to catch the train right next to some random dude.
Running for the Train
Now, you're not supposed to run for the train. It's not, you know, like civically responsible. But let's be real—the next train's not for a whole minute and a half, and that's time you could spend assed-out under some cherry blossoms, so of course you're gonna run. And me and this guy are racing side by side to make the train before the doors close, going down the steps two at a time, and he's on the inside of the turn in front of me, so he jumps into the train first, and then—and this is so Japanese—just stops in the doorway, cold. Like he's instantly forgotten there's a huge white guy running full-speed an inch behind him.
Once we picked ourselves up from the floor of the train car, this is what our conversation would have sounded like in English:
"Dude, why the hell'd you stop in the middle of the doorway?"
"I didn't know you also wanted to get in the train!"
"What'd you think I was running for?"
"How should I know?"
But in Japanese, it sounded like, well, nothing, since we didn't say a word or look at each other. We just dusted ourselves off and pretended like nothing happened. Japanese unspoken communication. It's easier, sometimes.
Hanami Number Four
My next hanami was in Yoyogi Park with a bunch of people from an English school I used to teach at. One of the dudes was dressed like a woman with a blue wig and voluptuous fake breasts. Actually, he looked pretty hot. We were in the middle of a long field and there was an enormous pile of garbage and at some point I looked up to see one of my female students squatting beside it and taking a whiz. Ah, good times.
Hanami Number Five
This was a spontaneous hanami that happened as I was trying to walk through the crowds avoiding all the Japanese people making sudden turns in front of me. A group of college kids spotted me and called me over to their blue plastic sheet. Actually, it may have been green, but you get the idea.
"Hey, come drink!" a couple of guys shouted in English.
"Okay!" I said, and sat on the edge of their sheet. I'm always up for new adventures of the liquid variety.
"Where are you from?" a girl asked, in English.
"Tokyo," I replied, in Japanese. It sounds a little different in Japanese, really.
"No, where were you born?" she asked again.
"America," I confessed.
"Oooh," Everyone cooed. "America!" They always say that.
"Here, this is Japanese rice wine," said one of the guys, and poured me a paper cup.
"You mean, sake?" I said.
"Yes, rice wine," he continued. "And we say 'kanpai!'"
"I see," I said. "How does one drink such a beverage?"
"Like this!" shouted another guy. "Kanpai!" and downed an entire cup.
"Well, fair enough," I said. "Kanpai!" and followed suit.
This seemed to make everyone quite pleased. We did it a few more times.
Hanami Number Six
Suddenly it was early evening and I was in this little park near Oji, walking with some girl. The sun was setting. I remember she seemed very pretty and young, and we were walking slowly. I had a can of beer in one hand. I thought about holding her hand with the other. Since I had a free hand, you know.
"The trees are very beautiful," I said. This is how you tell a girl you are in love with her in Japan. You talk about nature.
"Yes, they are." she agreed.
"Spring is such a lovely season," I continued, "with all the flowers blooming and the air getting warmer. I wonder if it'll be a full moon tonight?" Talking about the moon is especially good.
"We should probably get back to the party now," she said.
Hanami Number Seven
Now it was completely dark and cold, and I was drunk as hell in some crowded urban park on the west side of Ikebukuro station. The lights were on under the trees and the flowers were all lit up pink. There was an older woman beside me and she had nice large breasts and I was crying for some reason. I had a tall can of Chu-hi in my hand, which should have made me happy.
"It'll be okay," she said, in Japanese, and handed me another tissue.
"But the sakura are all falling," I sobbed. "They're all blowing away in the wind. It's so sad."
"That's what they do," she said.
"But why does life have to be like this? Why does it have to be so tragic and so beautiful? Why does everything go away?
"It'll be summer soon. You like summer.
"Yes, I do like summer. I really do. God, look at the petals in the wind—just like snow floating up to heaven.
"Yes, there they go," she said. "It's wonderful."
And we sat there and she held my hand, the one without the Chu-hi, while the sakura scattered in the breeze. And that's how hanami season went down.

An extremely annoying bug that plays an old ragtime tune has commandeered Google's Gmail, after the company debuted its 'Priority Inbox' feature earlier this week.
Gmail users, some of whom were spooked by the glitch, bombarded the company's email forum last night.
"Whenever I sign into my Gmail using Chrome, music automatically starts playing. This is a new issue. It's like old time dance music," wrote barnolde on the forum.
"Occasionally there will be a sound effect like a click, a bubble, cards shuffling, a dog growling. There is no music running on my computer."
However – embarrassingly for Mountain View – the bug is only found when a Gmail account is viewed via Google's Chrome. It doesn't show up in Firefox or other browsers.
"This exact same thing is happening to me. It was really freaking me out for a bit. I kept thinking, 'This is seriously how horror movies start... soon a giant clown will pop out of my closet with an axe in hand and spray me with his fake boutonniere.' :)," wrote OlswangerB.
"It is still happening, even though I clicked on that link and paused the video. I even closed out of chrome and restarted it and it is still happening."
Google said it was aware of the bug and added that its team was working on a fix.
The tune itself is only supposed to play if a user clicks on a link connected to an embedded YouTube vid that demonstrates the new feature.
The Priority Inbox tool hasn't been rolled out to all Gmail users yet. So not everyone who uses the popular webmail service in Chrome will have to put up with a 1920s jazz din nosily invading his or her computers.
For those less fortunate people whose Gmail is already riddled with the bug, which replays every time a new Gmail page is loaded, the best advice – as Gawker astutely pointed out – is to "use less Google".
Now show us your jazz hands, dears. ®

Make sure you add us to stay in the loop!

But brand new for March, We The Unicorns now have their own official Snapchat account!

As we look at the holiday weekend as it fast approaches, we see it indeed is a good time of year here in Indiana. Everything is greening up and opportunities and growth are still part of our 2012 focus. In How to Win Friends and Influence People in the Digital Age, the newest Carnegie bestseller, we realize just how critical relationship and friends are for success.
In Chapter 4, Begin in a Friendly Way, it is instantly realized by the reader that being a good friend just enables others to be good friends as well. Agreement is always a critical aspect of moving forward and making any organization better. As is stated early in this chapter, a friendly greeting always has a subtle message of importance and value. There is great power in this as people work together.
Although not necessarily integrated in this chapter, it is important to have L.O.V.E. in every decision and in every interaction. This is not love in the romantic sense, but it is a way to remember to respect and understand others in any situation. The acronym L.O.V.E. has power.
- L: Listening is a must in every relationship. In fact, listening gives everyone a chance to explain both goals and objectives, and decisions are always much better when the whole picture is clearly understood.
- O: Observing how and why something is presented is critical in exchanging ideas. Non-verbals or body language must be assessed as well. It is not so much what is said as how it is said that needs to be paid attention to even in the quickest of conversations.
- V: Voice and the chance to express it make all the difference in the world when a message needs to be remembered and reacted upon.
- E: Enthusiasm is a base ingredient to establishing opportunities to make people successful. It is enthusiasm that sets the tone in every situation. And it is as highly contagious as it is welcomed.
In every relationship, as with every friendship, there has to be the clear need for heartfelt engagement.
As it says at the end of the chapter, "Winning friends (always) begins with friendliness.
Put a little l.o.v.e. in your heart the next time you have a conversation and good things will happen.

The former Kiss guitarist released his first solo album in twenty years back in September of 2009. But why am I reviewing it after nearly six months after its release date? Sometimes albums or songs catch on slowly--and in this case it may not necessarily a bad thing.
I learned about Anomaly in October or November of last year after hearing its lead single "Outer Space" on satellite radio. When the DJ introduced the title of the song, I thought to myself, "Oh Lord... good old Ace is still milking the Space Man thing after all these years." A couple of days later I talked to my friend about the song, and he apparently had the exact same thought.
Intergalactic subject matter aside, this song is pretty hard rocking and all around great. The lyrics are sexy and sleazy, carrying on a great rock and tradition. The chorus is very memorable, and I find myself singing or humming it on occasion. I love the guitar work on this song, especially the riff played during the lyrics "I wanna take you to Heaven... Take you away from this Hell."
The second single from Anomaly, "Fox on the Run", drew me a little closer to this album. Having another song I was familiar with from the radio is what really prompted me to buy the album and devote my attention to it. I thought the song was a little cheesy at first, but I kept coming back to it because I am a sucker for 1970s glam covers. (Hey, that's what made Quiet Riot so awesome!)
"Fox on the Run", which was originally recorded by the British band Sweet in 1974, is a fun song about various run-ins with those ever present groupies of the rock world. It's got a got a great hook, and it's a nicely updated to add a more modern and heavier feel to a 35 year old song.
The album's lead track "Foxy & Free" was a good choice for an opener. (See the fox pattern?) It's heavy in the bass at the beginning, and it made me want to listen to more. Lyrically and vocally, this song isn't my favorite from the album. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the reference to Hendrix's "Voodoo Child" and "Foxy Lady." (Again with those foxes!)
"Outer Space" is Anomaly's second song, followed by "Pain in the Neck." This song begins with a killer bass line and quickly transitions into a very interesting, almost grunge sounding, guitar riff. The bridge is much more melodic, and then it goes back into the heavy grunge sound. "Pain in the Neck" is bluntly about what it sounds like it is about--a woman who is a pain in Ace's neck. It's a hard rocking song, but rather different that anything else I would have expected from an Ace Frehley album.
"Fox on the Run" comes next, then there's "Genghis Khan." This track is almost purely instrumental. The only lyric that pops up every so often is "So long, Genghis Khan. Now you're gone. So long." It sounds kind of bluesy, and it really reminds me of '80s-era Bad Company.
After that comes "Too Many Faces." It's repetitive, but catchy with it's chorus of "Too many faces in the mirror, always looking back at me." The guitar parts of this song get better and more exciting toward the end, and it contains a really good solo.
Anomaly's next track "Change the World" is a slower ballad that really changes the pace of the album. It is heart felt without being sappy. God, peace, and children are recurring themes in this song.
A much heavier instrumental called "Space Bear" follows, and the only way I can describe the beginning of this song is to say it has a kick ass riff. When I saw the title on the back of the CD (Yes, I have the actual hard copy of the album. Impressive during this digital age, right?), I was kind of hesitant to take it seriously like I was with "Outer Space." However, I was quite impressed with how modern it sounded without seeming contrived.
Another ballad "A Little Below the Angels" comes next. It seems to be autobiographical, in that it refers to alcohol, crashing cars, and having nine (maybe even ten) lives. It's an introspective song about the decadent trappings that can come with being a rockstar. This ballad has a memorable chorus, but the only thing that kills it is the group of children singing it toward the end. That just made a nice ballad too sweet for me.
"Sister", which follows, is another one of the heavier, harder rocking tracks on the album. After many listens, I'm still having a hard time telling exactly what this song is about. So now I'm convinced it is about a woman who is giving away something that's pretty dang good. I just don't understand the lyric "I call her my sister, but she's really not." I guess they just have a twisted relationship. I really like the lyric "She can take you around the world." It adds a certain sleazy sexiness to the song.
The next track, "It's a Great Life", begins with a groovy bass line. The verses and the accompanying guitar part are great, but the chorus isn't as memorable as some of the rest from the album. If a listener was only looking for catchy lyrics, the song could be forgettable.
Anomaly's final song is the instrumental "Fractured Quantum." The title led to me to expect something hard and heavy, but this track is quite melodic and very pleasant. Also, it begins with children's laughter and something that sounds like birds. It was as if I was listening to Kiss's "God of Thunder" at the beach with some seagulls. As strange as that may seem, the rest of the song is very good. I really like the fact that this instrumental doesn't just sound like a six minute guitar solo. It progresses and flows very well.
When I began listening to Anomaly in its entirety, I knew there would be at least two good songs on it because I was familiar with the singles "Outer Space" and "Fox on the Run." Other than that, I didn't know what to expect.
I knew Anomaly would feature excellent guitar playing, because obviously Ace Frehley is a guitar legend. However, I did have low expectations for the vocal performance. If you've heard the Kiss song "Shock Me", you know exactly what I'm talking about. As much as I love that song, the vocals on it are so bad they are laughable. I'm glad to say Ace has improved to go above and beyond that for this album.
Overall, I think there are several great rock songs with catchy hooks on Anomaly. I would recommend it to classic rock fans who are looking for an album of new songs to add their collections. I would also recommend Anomaly to anyone who is looking for something that is lighthearted and fun. Plus, who can't resist really cool CD packaging that folds out into a pyramid?

WATCH: Fans, fury, a fracas... and some football - the story of feisty derby day at Carrow Road
PUBLISHED: 20:42 10 February 2019 | UPDATED: 20:46 10 February 2019
Pagepix Ltd.07976 935738
Ipswich Town were beaten 3-0 by rivals Norwich on what was a feisty afternoon at Carrow Road, played out in front of more than 27,000 fans. Here's the story of the day.
The Blues were ultimately well-beaten but went down fighting as they recovered well following an early Onel Hernandez goal.
The biggest talking point and the moment this game will be remembered for came just before the break, when a strong Jon Nolan challenge led to some pushing and shoving between players as well as opposing staff members on the touchline.

A steward, a policeman and a Sky Sports reporter tried to restrain Ipswich boss Paul Lambert after he squared up to City's assistant head coach Edmund Riemer, earning the Blues manager a red card on his return to his former club. Norwich's head of performance Chris Domogalla was also sent off.
Teemu Pukki scored twice to beat spirited Ipswich after the break, but the away fans applauded their players off at the end of the contest.

Vampire: the Eternal Struggle Sealed Product
Sealed VTES Stater Deck
Final Nights, the fifth expansion for Vampire: The Eternal Struggle, continues the development of the four independent clans introduced in the Dark Sovereigns and Ancient Hearts expansions. From Egypt to Italy, Romania to Arabia, these mysterious, manipulative, and deadly vampires maneuver quietly through the dark streets of ancient cities, drawn inevitably into the sinister plots that are the eternal struggle. Using the preconstructed starter decks (which include cards reprinted from the Dark Sovereigns and Ancient Hearts expansions), it can be played stand-alone, or you can mix the cards with other Vampire: The Eternal Struggle card sets to experience a wider world of darkness.
There are four different starter decks, each containing a fixed selection of cards (including two new vampires not found in the boosters in each). The booster packs contain a random assortment of 11 cards from a pool of 162 all-new cards (54 commons, 54 uncommons, and 54 rares). The preconstructed starters are built with a few cards from this mix plus reprinted cards to bring the total number of cards to 386.

A Real Steal
It's every consumer's nightmare. You open a credit card bill to find a total that takes your breath away--not to mention a dizzying list of unfamiliar charges. With an increasing number of online transactions, more cardholders are experiencing that scenario firsthand. In fact, 1 in 20 online consumers were victims of credit fraud in 2001, according to market research firm Gartner Inc.
But now, with single-use credit card numbers, you no longer have to forego the convenience of shopping online to guard against having your credit card number-or worse, your identity-swiped from online merchants' databanks by hackers.
"Cardholders register on our Web site and then, each time they want to make a purchase, a click-through generates a unique account number," explains Judy Tenzer at American Express. "You use that number rather than your card number when you make a purchase on a merchant's site."
The single-use systems from issuers like American Express won't prevent all types of credit card fraud-thieves may still dig through your garbage for old charge bills, adds Tenzer. "But there's an added layer of protection."
Dog Days
Think the stock market's gone to the dogs? You may be more right than you know. Investment pros are howling with glee over how the Bush administration's proposal to eliminate taxes on most dividend income will boost a stock-picking strategy commonly known as the Dogs of the Dow method. The strategy holds that the 10 highest yielding Dow Jones stocks-known as "Dogs" because their prices tend to be beaten down-often fare better than the broader market.
How much better? Following the Dogs strategy would have yielded a 17.7 percent average annual return since 1973, as compared to the Dow Jones industrial average overall return of 11.9 percent during that same period, according to Dogsofthedow.com.
The dividend tax proposal will add to the strategy's appeal, says Neil Hennessy, president of Novato, California-based Hennessy Funds, which runs two funds that employ the strategy. "If you take that story and add in the elimination of double taxation of dividends, you get a huge upside potential."
To get in on the action, investors need only buy the 10 top-yielding Dow stocks at equal dollar amounts and then update their portfolios to the new roster each year, says Hennessy. Dogsofthedow.com will even identify each year's picks for you.
Reforming Pro
Last year, the SEC warned investors to view company-issued pro forma financial reports with skepticism. This year, the agency is cracking down on companies that use them. Pro forma reporting was originally intended to enable companies to issue financial releases that exclude "one-time expenses" from earnings to enable investors to better compare quarter-to-quarter or year-to-year performance.
"The bias was to remove things that made the earnings look lower, and it got out of control," explains Peter H. Knutson, associate professor emeritus of accounting at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, who says some companies used pro forma figures to mislead investors.
To bring pro forma reporting back under control, the SEC recently prohibited companies from making misleading statements and omissions in pro forma reports. It also ruled that companies must clearly delineate what transactions have been excluded or included, detailing how pro forma statements differ from Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
While critics charge that corporate lobbying efforts have been effective in softening some of the recent SEC regulatory reform efforts, the regulations on pro forma reporting are clear and enforceable. However, says Knutson, because companies have to adhere to GAAP in preparing financials anyway, the ruling will pose no hardship to ethical firms. "All they're doing is flipping a light switch in a dark room," he says. "It's a matter of revealing what they've already done."
