A report from MPs looks at financial remuneration and corporate governance
LONDON - The UK House of Commons Treasury Committee has released a report entitled: 'Banking crisis: reforming corporate governance and pay in the city', calling for more emphasis on remuneration reform in the regulatory response to the crisis.
The report criticised the Financial Services Authority's (FSA) Turner Review, released in March, for understating the role of the financial bonus culture in the crisis, and suggests the UK regulator is not addressing the problem.
"Bonus-driven remuneration structures led to a lethal combination of reckless and excessive risk-taking," said McFall. "The design of bonus schemes was not aligned with the interests of shareholders and the long-term sustainability of the banks and has proved to be fundamentally flawed."
The group of 14 MPs, chaired by the Labour Party's John McFall, says the financial meltdown has exposed serious flaws in banking remuneration policies, especially within investment banking culture.
The committee examines UK financial remuneration practices and the role of players - including non-executive directors, institutional shareholders, auditors, rating agencies and the media - traditionally seen as influences, to curb the perceived pay excesses of banks' senior managers and executive boards.

Kim Kardashian in JET Jeans
Out with sister Kourtney and mom Kris, Kim Kardashian looked surprisingly dressed down. Kim wore a pair of distressed JET Jeans, a white button down and a pair black pumps. She accessorized her Jet Jamie roll up Straight leg jeans with an over-sized straw hat. I think Kim looks really chic here without being too over the top as she normally is.
After being snapped by the paparazzi, the trio (with camera crew in tow) joined Bruce Jenner for lunch at Stanley's restaruant. I wonder which show they're filming? It seems like everyone in the family has their own spin-off, I wonder if they're going to keep filming Keeping up with the Kardashians. Do you have a favorite? Buy JET Jeans at Singer22.com.

American Apparel launches Denim Line
Although rumors of bankruptcy have surrounded American Apparel, the brand recently launched their new denim line on April 5th. The collection, which has been in the making for the past year, features two styles for women and one for men. For women, there will be both a high waist, tapered leg jean and short. Men can expect to find a heavyweight, untreated jean. American Apparel recruited denim veteran, Georges Atlan, who has worked for brands like Guess, Levi's, Rock and Republic and Joe's jeans.
The vein of the line will be in the same as the basic tees and tanks, Dov Charney, the line's founder said in a press release, "Jeans are an iconic, essential part of the modern wardrobe, just like the t-shirt. No one does basics like American Apparel. We've mastered the basic t-shirt, now we're getting excited about jeans."
The jeans which are in stores now will retail for $80 a pair and were each made using 40 fair-wage workers. You can preview the collection below and shop online at AmericanApparel.com.
Jennifer Garner in Juicy Jeans
After spending the week promoting her latest film, Arthur, Jennifer Garner spends some time catching up with her daughters. Although the film didn't get very stellar reviews, Arthur ranked second in the box office this weekend, after Hop. Jennifer is also working on The Odd Life of Timothy Green.
It looks like she switched back to Mom mode, Jennifer wore her Juicy Couture jeans, a gray sweater and a pair of sneakers. While these jeans aren't my favorite on her, I do love both her handbag and her sunglasses.
Eva Longoria in J Brand
Heading back to LA after her promotional circuit, Eva Longoria traded her mini dresses for a pair of J Brand jeans. She seems to be wearing a lot of J Brand recently. Personally, I prefer her style more when she's dressed up, she's been killing it on the Red Carpet lately! (Remember her Oscar dress?)
This past week, Eva was on the East Coast making the Talk Show circuit, promoting her cookbook, Eva's Kitchen. Despite the focus of the tour being on her cookbook, one interview in particular, with Piers Morgan, turned into Eva discussing her divorce from Tony Parker. Buy J Brand jeans at Singer22.com.

@allpointspr100 You're welcome! Don't you find it gets too cold? It's such a beautiful city, and yes, a terrific community - every time I go there, I experience that. And I would LOVE to be closer to friends like @hksully, @ginidietrich, @seanmcginnis ... but it's so cold!
@rosemaryoneill I'm SO sorry you were sick! But glad I could perk you up. :) How are you feeling now?
At least you HAD one employee. I'm still the only employee here at SBC... I'm just too scared to take on any more unless I build up a book of business that I know will support salaries, benefits, etc., for some time to come. But I have also come to realize that I like how I work, with my virtual network. So there's no rush.
For me - and this will not come as a surprise to you! - it's really about what solving that problem would achieve - what's the end result one's looking for? And when it comes to running the business, those can be really hard questions to answer. Yes, we need to put food on the table, etc... but if we're thinking strategically, we're thinking about the long haul. And that's hard, not to mention scary. But I'm learning to do it, and not bite off more than I can chew. If the answer doesn't come to me today, it will... when it needs to, and when I'm ready for it.
See you in May, Lisa, and thank you for a super guest post!
@JasKeller Oh man, that was a GREAT line from @KristK! I'm totally stealing it for my presentations!
@JackVincent Right? I'd love to know if you get any response, btw. I sent this on to the "offender" and haven't heard a peep. Which I think is a good thing... and so far, at least, they haven't resubscribed me to their list. Perhaps because I said, "I'm unsubscribing from your list. Do not resubscribe me. EVER."
@Frank_Strong I know! What part of "shareable" do these people not understand?!
@3HatsComm Can we just ignore the fact that it took me MONTHS to come here and reply? I'm literally hanging my head in shame. But honestly - your comment was so neat... I didn't know what to say. It stands alone!
Yes. Yes. YES. #thatisall
@annelizhannan LOL! Thank you so much! Please could you email your mugshot to me? Decent-size res, doesn't have to be super high res. Thank you again!
@ginidietrich Oh, I don't know about that. Look at the great makeover he gave our site! Besides, if @seanmcginnis goes, then @KariLSharp goes, and then where would we be?!
@geoffliving Maybe we should call them the Odious Humble Bragger. ;)
@EileenMasciale Baby steps is SO important, Eileen! Kudos on you for getting your clients to "keep calm and carry on." Because if they don't focus on the end, there's no beginning.
Hey, that's a good line. I'll have to use it sometime. ;)
@Susan Allen Susan, thank you for the kind words!
Re: followers/community - that really struck me at a recent workshop I facilitated. And I think a lot of companies fall into this trap. They think followers = community. No. A community is a body of people that supports you, roots for you, laughs with you, cries with you. And to me, *that* is real "social PR" - when you can build and maintain a community.
@ginidietrich is one of the people who is unnervingly excellent at doing this. Honestly, I marvel at her. So is @rachaelseda. And building/maintaining a community isn't easy - it takes a lot of time, and energy, which need to be sustained. But it's so worth it.
@iancleary Absolutely my pleasure, Ian! It must have taken so much time to put together. Thank YOU!
@jeanniecw @Adam | Customer Experience Awesome!!!
@Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes Mostly, yes, about understanding them. He sings mostly in Punjabi, and we often acted/sang in it at drama school. So while I can't write it, nor can I speak it with any authority, I do mostly understand it. As to the actions matching the songs - usually not. :)
@Howie Goldfarb That's so true, Howie - luck IS a result of hard work. However, I don't discount my "higher power" (whatever you want to call) at all... but one of the greatest gifts HP gives me (and everyone) is the *ability* and *choice* to use the tools at my (our) disposal. @MonicaMillerRodgers
@annelizhannan Your comment almost made me cry when I read it! (I tried to comment earlier, there was a Livefyre snafu...) Thank you so much. May I please use part of that as a testimonial for my site? You rock - thank you again!
@KirkHazlett What nonsense! I completely agree with @corinamanea! And of course, @dbreakenridge is brilliant AND kind.
@joeldon You're so welcome! @JodiEchakowitz @adamtoporek @rainewrites @KristK @KensViews @BessWin
@LorraineSchuchart You're so welcome! I'd love to know who you'd shine the spotlight on - oh, there's your daughter, for one ... remind me of her Twitter handle/social profiles? Who else?
@KensViews You're very welcome! Who would you shine the spotlight on, Ken? Let's share the love. :)
@jonmikelbailey You call that swearing? Here, this is swearing: "Rubbish Metrics." Ask Miss @AbbieF.
@Adam | Customer Experience OMG. Do you remember how much we had to WALK?!!! @bdorman264 @ginidietrich @jeanniecw
@karimacatherine Now THEY are Bollywood stars. Me, I was just heading there... and then I got married and came here instead!
@jenzings "Immeasurable"!!!!! HAHAHAHAH!!!
I know - it's weird we havn't IRL'd. But we have Skyped... so that's something. I feel like I know you really well too. I remember the first time you had me on MBE - I was SO excited! And you were so nice, and even Chip said nice things (kinda sorta) about dogs... ;)
@Kimberly Crossland TYVM and nice to meet you too!
@Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes OK, I was really not! I was "on my way"... then I got married and the rest is history (or at least, a Spin Sucks Inquisition). But I can certainly dance like the best of 'em.
Daler Mehndi is SO much fun!
@Adam | Customer Experience @dbvickery OMG you do not!!!
@dbvickery That's because you kept me talking!!!!
@ginidietrich @DwayneAlicie I remember you posting about that!!!! That was SO cool. That was when I thought - wow, we really did something here.
@photo chris It's so nice to meet you too, and thank you so much for your gift of a comment.
I know... isn't that wild, about the wanting to be "good enough"? And the thing is, that I've only been able to acknowledge that recently.
I think women are pleasers - and I mean that in a good way. We are the ones who keep things moving, who keep things composed, who keep people together. Sometimes saying "no" jeopardizes that, so we say "yes," and put up with stuff we really shouldn't.
I've found sitting on my own in the morning (I take a long time to "wake up," usually it takes a few cups of tea at the very least - I don't drink coffee) really helps. There are various books/meditations I read from, I turn on one lamp in my home office, and turn the radio (yes, radio) on to the local classical music station, but the volume is turned down waaaay low. I read, think, write, and pray. If I don't get that time, I feel really out of sorts. So that is helping a lot.
@MonicaMillerRodgers It does! Sometimes it doesn't, but I think then we have to stop and ask what we were trying to achieve in the first place. Were we simply shooting for the wrong thing?
@jonmikelbailey Technicality Schmecknicality.
@belllindsay @ginidietrich Nothing wrong with a practice one!
@JackVincent BWAHAHAHAH!!!
@bdorman264 I consider turning you on to cricket one of the big achievements of my life. I truly do! And I can't wait to see you and @AdamToporek in August... next time we have to get you guys to DC or Chicago, right @ginidietrich?
@ginidietrich @karimacatherine Well, that was a little bit of, er, embellishment on Gini's part. I was certainly an actress, and heading to Bollywood, but I was no Rani Mukerji! :)
@Corina Manea Right? I think people put "PR" in such a box, that they consider it to be only media relations, or only this, or only that. The "R" is PR is about RELATIONSHIPS!
What other questions have you heard along these lines, Corina?
@Caroline Avakian Thank you, Caroline, and for taking the time to stop by - happy Friday!
@jasonkonopinski The Drake's hardly the 4 x 4 cell you make it sound like, @ginidietrich - I'm ROFLing at that! You, Sean and Michael pulled it together - do you remember? Then you got Ragan to kick in a sponsorship, and it was all just wonderful.
@ginidietrich @belllindsay He's still around, so you must be doing something right. ;)
@rosemaryoneill @KristenDaukas That's the only Social Slam I attended, so it had to be that... because I wasn't at the Internet Summit. I remember that conversation, Kristen - I hope you're doing well!
@jonmikelbailey Hey, I'm waiting on YOU to send me the questions!
@JackVincent LOL. I'd have to think about how to answer if you were serious about "needing" me. ;) Very nice to meet you too!
@ExtremelyAvg You are one of the people it has been an absolute joy to find (through Amplify... remember?!) and get to know. YOU are a cup of awesome!
@jasonkonopinski LOL! @ginidietrich @ExtremelyAvg Ask away and I'll answer.
@jasonkonopinski Do I? I didn't hear that... what did you say? ;)
@Eleanor Pierce @ginidietrich @LauraPetrolino I'd love to do one!

Integrated Stereo Amplifier
Power and Clarity in One Sophisticated Device
Onkyo has declared war on distortion. The success of its campaign against noise is evident the moment you switch on the A-9070 Integrated Stereo Amplifier. New DIDRC (Dynamic Intermodulation Distortion Reduction Circuitry) dampens super high frequency distortion. Closed ground-loop circuits, HICC (High Instantaneous-Current Capability), and vibration-damping construction combine to produce a startlingly pure sound across a wide dynamic range.The unit's four 15,000 µF capacitors keep plenty of power at the ready. Efficient parallel push-pull amplification paired with three-stage inverted Darlington circuitry works at reducing distortion to almost nil. Separate Wolfson® 192 kHz/24-bit DACs for both left and right channels improve performance. The unit is also equipped with 192 kHz/24-bit HD audio playback to handle modern formats. Four discrete amplifier modes—integrated amp, power amp, pre-amp, and split pre-amp/power amp—offer flexibility when integrating other hi-fi components. Details like an independent headphone amplifier, a phonograph equalizer, three digital audio inputs, four analog inputs, and gold-plated audio terminals/speaker posts speak of the highest build quality. The superb craftsmanship, technological refinement, and attention to detail invested in the A-9070 make it worthy of serious consideration for those in the market for top-shelf hi-fi gear.

So I have been looking into buying a bandsaw for awhile now. Majority of it would be for wood cutting, and maybe occasionally I would cut one thing that's metal, maybe. I have been checking craigslist off and on for months and can never find what I'm looking for, figured I mihgt as well just buy one new. I have a sears giftcard laying around I need to use up, so I been looking at the small craftsman ones. I don't need a big free standing 12+ inch saw, just like a 9" or 10" (although I wouldn't mind one bigger if the price was the same). I'm more focused on the depth of cut (I think it's called the throat?). This saw is the more expensive one, and has 4 5/8" max depth. I would love bigger, but I don't want to spend anymore on a tool I won't use enough.
I also was looking at this one, it has less depth at 3 5/8", and is only a 9" saw.
What are your opinions on craftsman saws? All my hand tools are craftsman, and I have had a few power tools that seemed to hold up great. Never had any problems with the brand. Should I just splurge on one of these saw, or should I keep scouring craigslist for a cheapo? The only ones I can find on there normally are the older style craftsman 10 or 12" saws, with a very small depth of cut. Or some other brand that is way bigger then I need and $400+
What kind of saws do you guys have? Should I just get the bigger one? Should I look somewhere else or at different brands? Keep scouring craigslist?
I am also looking to get a router next. Something simple, just for cutting grooves and doing edgework. Any reccomendations there would be great as well. They seem to be easier to find on CL, I just don't want an old beat up one.
Any help appreciated!

Fox News political analyst Dick Morris claimed that there is no civil war coming to Iraq because "when Iraqi politicians negotiate over the coalition of their cabinet, they bomb each other's mosques."
James Taranto once again misrepresented Media Matters for America's position, this time in response to an item noting his false characterization of Media Matters' coverage of Rep. John Murtha's call for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq.
A Washington Post article on the "partisan infighting" on the Senate Intelligence Committee failed to report that, in response to calls for an investigation into President Bush's warrantless domestic surveillance program, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's (R-TN) threatened to restructure the committee "so that it is organized and operated like most Senate committees." The Senate Intelligence Committee's rules currently grant the minority party more power than on other Senate committees.
In an appearance on NBC's Meet the Press, Sen. Joseph R Biden Jr. (D-DE) challenged host Tim Russert's previous suggestion that Democratic lawmakers seized on the recent ports controversy in order to build their national security credentials. Biden pointed out that since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Democratic lawmakers have repeatedly put forth proposals to bolster port security nationwide -- proposals that have consistently been met with stiff Republican resistance.
Fox News host John Gibson praised the announcement by Dubai Ports World (DPW) that it would divest itself of leases it holds for terminals at six U.S. ports. Gibson also praised President Bush, stating: "[H]ats off to President Bush for not getting too stubborn over this deal."
Loading the player leg...
On Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume, New York Post columnist Ralph Peters repeated the claim -- previously advanced by Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Peter Pace -- that during the recent sectarian violence in Iraq, the "Iraqi army was able to put over 100,000 troops in the street, and they calmed the situation." But news reports contradict Pace's and Peters's claims.
James Taranto falsely claimed that Media Matters for America "cheered" Rep. John Murtha's call for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq but also "denied that he had done any such thing." In fact, Media Matters neither endorsed nor condemned Murtha's proposal, nor did we deny Murtha called for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. Media Matters instead corrected those in the media who falsely claimed that Murtha called for an "immediate withdrawal" or who falsely referred to Rep. Duncan Hunter's one-sentence resolution calling for immediate withdrawal as the "Murtha amendment."
Following Dubai Ports World's announcement that it would divest its leases to terminals at six U.S. ports, news outlets and media figures depicted Republicans as having neutralized the issue of port security. In other cases, they portrayed the Democratic opposition to the state-owned Arab firm's acquisition of the ports as purely political. But such characterizations take a narrow view of the political issues involved in the controversy, entirely ignoring differences between the two parties' broader records on this issue.
On his radio program, Bill O'Reilly stated: "You know in a sane world, every country would unite against Iran and blow it off the face of the Earth. That would be the sane thing to do."
A Washington Post editorial adopted the Bush administration's false suggestion that there is no difference between Dubai Ports World (DPW) and Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co. (P&O). The Post, like the Bush administration, suggested that criticism of the ports deal was based on DPW's Arab ownership and was therefore discriminatory. In fact, there is a key difference as a matter of law between DPW and P&O: DPW is a state-owned company, whereas P&O was not, prior to its acquisition by DPW.
Rush Limbaugh characterized congressional opposition to the proposed transfer of operational control of six U.S. ports to Dubai Ports World -- a company owned by the government of Dubai -- as "a lynch mob." Limbaugh added that Republicans are "sitting there beating their chests like a bunch of Tarzans."
The New York Times issued a correction of a previous correction of an article that misstated the purpose of legislation by Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ) regarding control of U.S. seaports. But the Times has yet to issue a correction about a similar falsehood regarding port-related legislation proposed by Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA).
In a discussion about a class project at a New Jersey high school involving the mock trial of President Bush for war crimes, Joe Scarborough said: "This isn't about free speech. This is about slandering the commander in chief at a time of war."
Roll Call executive editor Morton Kondracke accused Democrats of attempting to politicize the Senate Intelligence Committee, falsely asserting that the committee had already investigated allegations that the Bush administration "lied about weapons of mass destruction" in the run-up to the Iraq war. In fact, no governmental entity to date, including the Intelligence Committee, has investigated the administration's use of prewar intelligence.
New York Times staff writers David Sanger and Elisabeth Bumiller used the opportunity presented by President Bush's March 3 visit to Pakistan to contrast Bush's "more public landing" on Air Force One with Clinton's 2000 visit, in which, Bumiller wrote, he "slipped into Islamabad for six hours on an unmarked military jet." However, both Sanger and Bumiller ignored the historical and political context of Clinton's trip to Pakistan and the security measures taken by Bush that undermine any notion that he "arrived with a roar on Air Force One."

Product description
This volume continues the publication of the series of biblical Dead Sea Scrolls that were discovered in Cave 4 at Qumran. It contains forty-two manuscripts of the Writings or Wisdom Books, from Psalms to Chronicles. These Hebrew texts antedate by a millennium what had previously been considered the earliest surviving biblical manuscripts in the original language. They document a pluriformity that characterized the ancient biblical textual tradition before the text became uniform later in the Rabbinic period. The Book of Psalms was the most widely copied book at Qumran, and the manuscripts display some alternate arrangements. The Song of Songs also displays a version that contrasts in arrangement of contents with the edition found in the traditional Massoretic Text. Superior textual variants from these manuscripts have been adopted in recent revised translations of the Bible.

Live porn sites might not be something you have ever seriously considered using before, but the truth is that they can actually be a really good option for guys who may have trouble hooking up with women in person. If you have ever had trouble meeting women in bars and clubs where getting her to agree to hook up with you, then you may be surprised to learn that using a live porn site for a while can actually increase your chances with women in real life.
There is a very different dynamic and power play that comes about when using live porn sites compared to hooking up in person. You may not realize it, but you can actually use your experiences with live porn sites in order to boost your confidence with talking to women in person. This, in turn, can help you to be more successful with the women that you want to hook up with in person. Of course, using live porn sites at all can actually be quite fun anyway, so there are plenty of benefits to using them. You can learn a lot about confidence from these live performers. Click here to learn more about them. However, avoid live porn site scams at all cost, as they could ruin your self-respect.
How Live Cam Sites Can Actually Boost Your Confidence with Women
You may not have ever considered the fact that using live porn sites can actually benefit you in real life. Most guys don't go into using live porn sites under this impression, since there is a very obvious reason you might want to use live porn sites, and it isn't to increase your chances with women in real life.
However, besides the obvious enjoyment you will get out of using live porn sites, you may be surprised to realize that your experiences on the site can actually wind up having serious benefits to your chances of hooking up in person. Compared to hooking up in person, interacting with women a live porn sites is quite a different experience. You don't have to worry about going out of your way to impress her or make a good impression like you do when you meet women in bars and clubs. Most of the work is already done for you when you log on and choose a cam model to watch on the live porn site of your choosing.
How to Practice Your Moves on Cam Girls
One of the biggest advantages that live porn sites offer to you when you want to increase your chances of hooking up in person and boosting your confidence with women is the fact that you can practice talking to women without stress. If you are at all shy in real life, or if you find it difficult to interact with women in person in a meaningful way, then using live porn sites to practice can actually be very helpful. You can interact with women in a way that you might not be able to do in person if you are nervous.
One of the easiest ways to go about building your confidence with women in real life by using live porn sites is trying to interact with her in the way that you would like to interact with women in person. If you are shy about initiating a conversation, you can use cam girls in order to gauge how they react certain things. This may seem somewhat simple, but the truth is that it actually works a lot better than you might imagine. Usually shyness just comes out of the lack of experience. This means that by practicing having conversations with cam girls, you can wind up building your confidence quite sharply with just a little bit of effort. If nothing else, you will have a great experience using the site itself, so you really have nothing to complain about.
Another way that using live porn sites can help boost your confidence is that you will start to be able to understand what women like. There are certain ways you can compliment cam girls that can help you learn how to compliment women in real life. If you have ever had a particular pickup line or compliment in mind, but you are too shy to try it out in person, this is obviously the perfect opportunity for you to give it a shot. There's really nothing that can go wrong, since you can just choose a different chat room if you feel like you are too embarrassed to keep talking to the same girl. This is obviously an advantage that you distinctly lack when hooking up in person. This sense of rejection over the Internet is a lot softer than it would be if you are rejected in person, so if you fear rejection, then practicing talking to girls on live porn sites can be a great option for you.
What You Shouldn't Expect from Cam Sites
Of course, compared to hooking up with women in person, live porn sites offer a different experience. While this obviously has its advantages, there can also be drawbacks to using cam sites all the time. There also certain things you should never expect from a cam site experience. First of all, you should be aware of the fact that the experience is not going to be quite the same as hooking up in person. Obviously it is going to be different in the fact that there is no physical contact between you and the woman that you are viewing on camera. There other ways that it will differ from hooking up in person, however you need to know how to adjust your expectations when it comes to using live porn sites.
One thing that you should realize when you decide to use live porn sites is the fact that it is not going to be exactly the same as talking to a girl in person. Cam models that use live porn sites are hoping to get tips for their services, so she might be a little more forgiving and receptive than a woman would be in person. As long as you keep this in mind, you should have no issues whatsoever.
How to Apply Your Newfound Confidence
Once you have started to use live porn sites on a more regular basis, you may be interested in trying to learn and confusion newfound confidence on women in person. Before you hit up all of your favorite bars and clubs yet again in order to try and hook up with women, you need to know how you can apply your newfound confidence from watching live porn sites.
It is important to remember that there are quite a few differences between hooking up in person and watching girls on live porn sites, something which you hopefully already have realized. However, you can usually newfound confidence to your advantage as long as you know how to play your cards right. All you really have to do is realize that now that you know how to talk to girls on live porn sites, you can use that experience to be able to talk to girls in person with newfound ease. Remember all the ways women reacted to certain things that you said, because this will help you know what you should avoid saying or doing. You may find that you are quite a bit more confident speaking to women now that you have had more experience.

The awry story of ads and awards
Controversies regarding the work of FP7, the Agency of the year at the 2009 Dubai Lynx Awards has taken the regional advertising industry by storm.
March 30, 2009 1:24 by Aarti Nagraj
According to Eliot Beer, editor of Adnation, the controversy may cost FP7 Doha its Agency of the Year title: "The situation they are in now, Lynx is now almost certain to recall FP7's work for Samsung judging by the fact that they have already been removed from the Lynx website."
The problem of ghost ads is a global one, says Beer, and happens everywhere. "I think the issue here is the scale. I think it's the extent and I suppose brazenness. FP7 Doha more or less went all out to basically win as many awards as possible and a very small proportion of that is what is being perceived as real work," he says.
While agreeing that ghost ads appear in award ceremonies everywhere, Austyn Allison, the managing editor of Communicate magazine explains that the controversy surrounding FP7 is being built up as a big deal in the Middle East. And to a certain extent this will be based on jealousy.
"Advertising is a very competitive industry and has always been notorious for backstabbing," he says.
"The fact that in this region, advertising creativity is not fully developed means that in order to impress an international jury, the rules will probably be stretched further than in markets with a more developed creative scene. And the higher up that ladder of bent truth one climbs, the further you will fall when jealous rivals at the bottom shake it."
But creative awards such as the Lynx, the Cannes Lions and the MENA Cristals are more prone to bending the rules than events such as the Effies, which are based on effectiveness, he says. "In the Effies though, the work doesn't look as beautiful," Allison adds.
But is this mess going to affect the future of the Lynx?
There's a lot of buzz going around the market right now about this, says Beer. "If this happens again, if people think its going to be like this next year, then agencies just won't enter. And the competition would be disastrous not just for Lynx, but for the region itself because it needs a good awards ceremony and the Lynx is really is kind of the best option they have to achieve that," he says.
However, he adds that the whole issue could turn out to be healthy in the long term. "If they [Lynx] sort this out, then we won't face these problems again."

If you're a fan of YouTube beauty tutorials, odds are you know about the talented Ms. Camila Coelho. MakeUpByCamila2 has well over half a million subscribers, and that's not even including the ones keeping up with her Portuguese channel, which has about a million more!
Japonesque Pro Makeup Artist Wipes
Japonesque just came out with a few new products, but the ones that have caught my attention are their Pro Makeup Artist Wipes.
The End of Summer Glow: Get Up & Glow
I switch up beauty routines each season to challenge my skin, testing out new products while also keeping tried-and-true must-haves in the rotation. For over a decade, I've hoped that one of these regimens would give me the perfect dewy glow, and with the latest, I've finally cracked the code!
Ling Energy Lift Facial: Just like Heaven
I love spas. I will travel to the ends of the earth for a good spa, so imagine how excited I was to find one of the best in my backyard! The SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills has always been a favorite spot for dinner and drinks. The Philippe Stark design excites the senses like no other. But it was only recently that I visited their spa…
Chantecaille Summer Collection
Chantecaille is like Tom Ford…it's pretty hard for the brand to do any wrong so trying anything from their line is very low risk. They recently launched a new skincare product, Rose de Mai Cream, which is infused with rose de mai, a rare (read pricey – it only blooms for three weeks in May) ingredient known for its anti-aging capabilities.
ESPA: The Great Escape
This may sound crazy, but in Asia, most women visit the spa daily. The amenities are so grand and luxurious! I've rarely found comparable services or facilities in the US, which makes the discovery of ESPA all the more thrilling. I visited ESPA at the Joule in Dallas, and with over 350 spas in 55 countries, there's a good chance you can find one in your area too!

Many thanks to reader Anthony Harmon who e-mails with a very interesting discovery:
… I noticed an interesting connection today. In the 3rd century A.D., St. Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, wrote a letter to a certain Donatus:
"This seems a cheerful world, Donatus, when I view it from this fair garden, under the shadow of these vines. But if I climbed some great mountain and looked out over the wide land, you know very well what I would see. Brigands on the highways, pirates on the seas; in the amphitheatres men murdered to please the applauding crowds; under all roofs misery and selfishness. It is really a bad world, Donatus, an incredibly bad world. Yet in the midst of it, I have found a quiet and holy people. They have discovered a joy, which is a thousand times better than any pleasure of this sinful life. They are despised and persecuted, but they care not. They have overcome the world. These people, Donatus, are the Christians… and I am one of them."
Already some phrases and ideas may have rung a bell in your head, depending on your familiarity with Masked and Anonymous, in which "Jack Fate" says toward the end:
"I was always a singer and maybe no more than that. Sometimes it's not enough to know the meaning of things, sometimes we have to know what things don't mean as well. Like what does it mean to not know what the person you love is capable of? Things fall apart, especially all the neat order of rules and laws. The way we look at the world is the way we really are. See it from a fair garden and everything looks cheerful. Climb to a higher plateau and you'll see plunder and murder. Truth and beauty are in the eye of the beholder. I stopped trying to figure everything out a long time ago."
The idea is the same, just compressed, and the quaint phrase "fair garden" and some other parallel words are too striking to be coincidental, in my opinion. Of course, the Dylan quote comes off more pessimistically, as he doesn't mention the last part of the Cyprian quote, about the Christians. But I find it fascinating that Dylan may have, consciously or subconsciously, borrowed an idea and even some exact words, from this 3rd century Christian bishop. Just imagine if Dylan is trying to subtly imply the rest of the quote, the part about the Christians and his being one of them, by referencing just the first part of the quote. It wouldn't be his style to include that last part and so blatantly identify himself as Christian; plus it wouldn't work in the dark context from the movie. But I think he likes to plant little hints that will only be picked up by people who really care; kind of like a parable: it's a built-in filter so that only the dedicated hear the real message. I hope I don't sound like the next A.J. Weberman or something haha …
Well, as I wrote back to Anthony, I don't think this is Mr. Weberman's territory at all. Another way of putting it might be that because Dylan's awareness of God is such a constant underpinning of his work, it comes out in countless different ways. If you're attuned to it, I think, you pick it up, and it is inspiring and encouraging (as great art ought to be). If you're not attuned to it, then it's just part of the rich and mysterious tapestry of his work. Is he being allusive to these words of Cyprian of Carthage because he deliberately wants to send a message to anyone, or is it just because the words came to his mind in the writing of this script, or would he even know himself? I don't know, in any case. But I think the fact that he is echoing Cyprian's words here is beyond doubt.
And one can easily see how these words of St. Cyprian would have stuck in Dylan's mind whenever he himself read them. Dylan's work always has this consciousness of the big picture, and of the fact that "happiness can come suddenly and leave just as quick." His songs have always known that and always posed the question as to what this knowledge means for everyone. In other words, his work never turns a blind eye to the human condition, and this is what makes it distinct from so many of his contemporaries in popular music. Even in as happy and carefree a song as I'll Be Your Baby Tonight, you can hear the world outside with all of its pressing dangers and troubles, from which the singer is trying to snatch a few hours of escape with his sweetheart. A fair garden, indeed.
By the way, I told Anthony a couple of days ago that I would post about this today (Sunday) and he later wrote back with another interesting discovery. Today just happens to be the feast day of Cyprian of Carthage in the Orthodox Liturgical Calendar.
Scary, huh?
Recently Bob Dylan has been performing I Believe In You in concert. Here's a clip from his August 23rd gig in Indiana.
Don't let me drift too far,
Keep me where you are
Where I will always be renewed.
And that which you've given me today
Is worth more than I could pay
And no matter what they say
I believe in you.
