Name: Drakkor Shadowmire
Race: Dhampir
Domain: Darkness
Alignment: CN
Class: 8th level Rogue/10th level Shadowdancer
Mythic Class: Stranger
Appearance: 6' medium build. Light brown wavy hair down to his shoulders, with brown eyes. A very handsome man, more so than most humans and his skin is slightly darken, almost exotic like, but in the sunlight, it looks like he has bruises. He moves with fluid grace that seems unnatural, when he laughs fully, you can see that he has elongated incisors. Chain shirt like armor, a sword sheathed at his left hip and a dagger sheathed at each thigh and at each rib.
Legendary Item: Belt of Shadowform
Personality: He carries himself well with confidence, gets along well with others, although he has trouble trusting others. Seems many are friendly for a price and some would have a bad reaction once they knew what he was, so he tends to stay back a bit, letting others mingle first. He doesn't get overly excited, staying calm through most situations. An even-tempered man, but do not cross him, for you will be marked. At the same time, once you have him for a friend, you got a friend for life.
She woke up in cold sweat, although she felt warm. Her window was open again and she looked under the sheet, she was naked again. She couldn't understand what was going on. Rachel was afraid to tell anyone, she heard the stories. Women being seduced during the night in their dreams. She got up, shut the window and looked into the mirror and found couple of small cuts on her neck. Now she was terrified, she heard of vampires but who would she know that could be one? Her parents gone, the only one she could trust, was her professor. The next day after class, she approached him.
"Professor, I think I am in trouble." she says as she lightly bit her lip.
He turned to her from his books. "Nonsense, you will do well on the test, you have the potential to be the best scholar of the class." he smiled.
"Nnn no,nothing about class, it's..."
"Well my dear, spit it out." he smiled at her, putting her at ease, making her feel warm and fuzzy each time he smiles at her.
"It's this." she took off her scarf and showed him her neck.
He stood up and looked at the neck and his eyes on hers. "I see..." his hand roamed to her belly and slowly moving up. Any other time, she would refuse the advances, but she was memorized by him, so charming and so nice to her. She felt his hand softly cupping her breast and find herself kissing him passionately....
Rachel woke up middle of the night, a bit sweating but warm feeling but very tired as well. She noticed her window was open again, as well as being naked under the sheets. Scared and confused, she doesn't sleep in the nude and always has her window closed but been 5 weeks now. She gotten up to close it and walked by her mirror. She noticed her neck's cuts, they looked fresh. Strange, she put on her nightgown and seemed a bit tight. She went back to the mirror and stared open mouthed in shock. Her belly had swelled. How she thought? She hasn't been with anyone. She was really frighten now. She told her professor, scared and not wanting others to know because she had no answer. Once again, with a charming smile, he put her at ease, talked her into staying with him, he would tutor her at his mansion and his servants would wait on her while he was out during the day. Her belly swelled with the coming months and during her eighth month, Professor Warrick had an emergency and had to leave town for a few weeks.
A month later she gave birth to a healthy boy, but there was a problem, he was always crying as if bothered with something. But once it was dark, he was fine as can be. The child was examined and they asked Rachel all kinds of questions and for the majority of them, she didn't have an answer. She wanted her baby and go home but they took the child for studies and kept Rachel in a guarded room. When the Professor came back, he appeared in her room and brought her home.
"What's going on, where's my baby? They say he has vampire blood, isn't that crazy?"
"Hmm, not really my lovely Rachel. It's rare, but it does happen on occasion." he smiles as he leads her into the house.
"What? but, but how can it be real?" she looked to him for guidance and answers. She felt concerned about him always but yet, felt safe with him. Just weird mixed feelings.
"Because my dear, I am the father and you and I will live forever as lovers. Do not worry about the child." He turned around to face her with a smile, his teeth pointed and sharp. She screamed as he bit into her and fell into a pleasant dream...
Growing up, he never knew his parents. All he knew was that some young lady looking like a noble claiming to be his aunt, came and got him but a week later, brought him back. He became an orphan, although he was adopted, he was soon given up, then another couple adopted him, then found what he was. was quickly given him up as well, back to the street, when word spread what he was, no other family came to him, he was not wanted. If that wasn't bad enough, he had trouble making friends as well. For a child, that's rough as it can get. Unable to fully play outdoors on a bright and sunny day with the other children because of his eyes being sensitive to light, he had to either wear a hat, hood or just stay in the shade and watch the others play. His face exposed in the sun alone kept others away, shunning him, while others bullied him. He was living on the street like a common urchin. As he gotten older, he found he was much more agile than the others and on occasion, his ability frighten others. He did wind up with one friend, someone he could actually call a friend and could rely on. Ghuan was an half-drow and he had his own similar troubles with the community. The two of them became best friends and the two of them protected each other, becoming blood brothers. They both helped each other find each other true identity, though Ghuan's history was easier to reveal. Drakkor finally found what he was later on and that gave Jett another question about his mother, not knowing if she was dead or alive, now he wonders if she gave him up because of what he was? The two managed to get invited to the Beggers Guild and two of them tackled the prejudice together, understanding the fear others may have but since they don't have the full abilities of their tainted blood and pose no real threat, why did the people continue to treat them as outcast?
The two grew up to adulthood in the big city, with the two of them becoming quite a force, with Ghuan's drow blood resisting charm and sleep spells and Drakkor's vampire half resisting mind effects from enemies, they were a force to be dealt with. Having trouble entering their minds, they had to face the duo up close. Their reputation spreading, The Guile's Fingers of the Thieves Guild came a calling, accepting both of them and both of them enhanced their abilities, learning more skills to better themselves, thriving. Both learned a lot at the guild, besides the art of thievery, they learned how to strike and when to strike, they also learned to fight, though not warriors, even thieves need to know how to defend themselves. As their skills grows, they had still had their troubles. Their skills and abilities, surpassing their peers has added jealously besides bullying and being shunned. Their teacher Larald though thought differently. He saw the two young men as exceptional thieves that could only make the guild more powerful. He has been around for a long time, he knows the two mix breeds had no real power of their evil blood and enjoyed teaching the two.
They learned about the Cult of the Burning Fist and excepted both as they are, treating them as equals. Both of them were moving up the ranks quickly, becoming respected among their peers, both becoming great burglars, moving up in the ranks fairly quickly. The both became Masters, things were going so well for them that they wondered when their luck would run out. A few years later, it came. Drow had appeared, making deals with both Grand Masters of both the Thieves Guild and the Assassin Guild. Drakkor and Ghuan still had a few enemies and both were always on the alert. It was those same enemies that made a deal with the drow. The two were given the task of finding a small box in the warehouse that were heavily guarded. They took four men with them and set off on the mission, once they arrived at witching hour, Jett took two with him to the back, while Ghuan took two and went to the front. Each only managed to reach the second room in when the four men suddenly disappeared. Quickly crouching, scanning the area with his darkvision, he saw movements, then he was attacked. It was hard fought and he was losing when he heard rats and Drakkor quickly communicated with them and after quickly making a deal, the rats came and came in droves. They were much more than the dhampir had expected and the rats attacked the drows. Drakkor quickly escaped and searched for Ghuan. It was a good thing he went stealth, because there were other drows and they didn't notice the Jett as they went by, hearing their comrades shouting. Once alone, the dhampir rogue had found his half drow comrade, his best friend. It was ugly sight, Ghuan was sprawled on the ground, body slashed, and his throat cut. Taking a couple of personal items from Ghuan, he went into hiding. He heard the drow were working with the two guilds and guessed they were sent after Ghuan and himself by their jealous enemies. For the first time since he was a toddler, he wept, Ghuan was like a true brother and now he was gone. He wanted revenge, but Holken, the Guild Master asked him not to pursue, the drows were out of their league, at least for now. After a few days, he finally realized that it wasn't worth going after his fellow rogues. It was time to leave and with a heavy heart, Drakkor left the city. He thought about his father, if he ever met him, he had to die. But how would he know which vampire sired him? Yet, it didn't really matter, they all needed to die anyway, including the drows. He vowed revenge and one day, he will avenge Ghuan, but right now? Perhaps he'll start a new life. He shrugged and pulled up his hood as the sun was nearing its peak on this bright, sunny if not bit hard on the eyes day...
Leaning against the wall, watching the others rush by him, he grins. "Go ahead, go get that treasure that's laying there. Be more for me after you die."

Name: Arcata
Race: Human
Appearance: Arcata still looks very much as she did while a mortal, slim and fair, with golden hair and blue eyes inherited from her ancestry in the north. Since her apotheosis her eyes have taken on a deep glow, and her beauty has only been magnified as the imperfections of mortality dripped away. She dresses in elegant white clothes whenever it's possible, enjoying rich fabrics imbued with minor magical effects. Her gown has subtle embroidery all over it, like a tiny labyrinth of stitches barely visible unless looking very closely. Never far from her hand is the Eternal Torch; a life's work in more ways than one. It is a staff made in rough replica of the Whitespire carved with painstakingly detailed hand from white ash. Her familiar, a mischievous fairy dragon is often perched on or near her as well...though is just as often off on some errand, or just playing.
Domain: Magic
Alignment: Neutral Good
Class: Arcanist 18
Mythic Class: Archmage
Legendary Item: "The Eternal Torch" (Staff of Power)
Arcata carries a staff that was crafted in tandem with the construction of Whitespire, intimately connected to the massive tower's ability to focus magic from the world around it and circulate it to make virtually miraculous internal features. The Eternal Torch is both a symbol of the ideals of Whitespire, and a physical artifact that can tap into the vast powers that the tower collects and distributes. It is moreover a failsafe; a key that can shut those spells down, should the power of Whitespire ever be turned to nefarious ends.
Personality: Even with her mortality shed, Arcata still feels and acts like nobility. She strives to keep her reserve and behave elegantly, though when excited or passionate about a subject that can fail her. She despises dirt, and sweat, and bad smells, but finds comfort in the trappings of wealth...high quality materials and craftsmanship that remind her of the home she grew up in. She takes the responsibilities of nobility very seriously as well, taking the well-being of those she considers her 'subjects' personally. Arcata enjoys a spirited debate or argument, and while she loves logic puzzles and thought games, she finds riddles to be rather trite...a commoner's version of a noble pursuit.
Beyond gems or gold, Arcata values the fulfillment of a person's potential, and she despises those things that keep people back from that. Be it unjust laws or traditions, ignorance and lack of education, or the bullying of peers or those who would set themselves above others.
Once upon a time Arcata was Arcata Dulay, a younger daughter of the noble house of Dulay, a family best known for their ownership of Port Dulay, a center of trade from across the country and across the sea. The city stands at the inland side of a vast bay on the eastern side of Ortos, where the great river pours out into the sea. She exhibited magical abilities from early on, which marked her as an object of suspicion and concern from the aristocracy. To help assuage concerns, and protect his daughter, she was sent to the tutelage of an elven wizard to help her learn to harness and control those powers. However, while she was away her parents and brothers were killed as part of a violent coup from an offshoot branch of the family.
Arcata was forced to hide her identity to evade assassination attempts. Together with the daughter of her magic tutor, who had agreed to protect her as best she could, she joined a mercenary company while developing her powers and attempting to rally allies to her cause. All along she investigated the coup itself as well, and discovered a gruesome secret. Her cousin had fallen under control of a monster beneath the sea, an aboleth, who was using him as a puppet to extend tendrils of control over the port and trade for sinister reasons of its own. Trying to find out what was going on led Arcata on cat-and-mouse games within games, where no one could be trusted. Finally she was able to convince former allies to cooperate and help her take the city to expose the deception. For a moment it even seemed like it might be that simple.
The aboleth had a contingency plan though. Or perhaps it was part of its plan all along. As its meddling was revealed, it revealed a counterstroke; an army of sahuagin, skum and other underwater horrors that rose up from the harbor to wage war on Port Dulay. The invading forces that Arcata had led were weary and off-guard. It was here though that the formidable magic at her command made the difference. A strange mix of a sorcerer's innate power and a wizard's learning, she was able to support the defending forces while raining devastation upon the monsters from the deep. She finally dueled the aboleth itself, nearly giving her life before the celestial she'd summoned was able to find and heal her. The blinding light of that healing that shone out from the top of the harbor lighthouse became known as the moment that the tide of the battle truly turned. From there, Arcata rejoined the fight and was able to finally destroy the aboleth. When its enslaved commanders were freed, the undersea creatures lost cohesion and were routed.
For a time Arcata resumed control of Port Dulay, and began the project her father had been killed before he could start; a replacement for the lighthouse with a newer, larger one. She also wished to replace it...but with a tower that would not only be a light to guide ships but a more metaphorical light as well. This would become Whitespire; a massive tower dedicated to the collection and safekeeping of knowledge, especially magical knowledge. In her travels Arcata had learned much, but more than anything she'd gained an inkling of just how much had been lost since days long past...and how much was still grasped by one individual or another, too often kept from the eyes that most needed to see it. She had also experienced firsthand some of the frustrations of having to learn magic painstakingly, from one person at a time...each with their own limitations and strengths. Her vision was to bring sages and wizards to Whitespire so that they could collaborate...not just on research and investigations of theory, but also in the teaching of future mages.
Ultimately her passion for this project was stronger than her drive to rule; she abdicated control of her House to another cousin who had earned her trust, so she could focus on Whitespire. Over years the tower of white stone, perched on an island in the harbor, took shape. By the time it was done, Arcata was as commonly referred to by a sobriquet earned during the great battle for control of the city as she was by her family name; 'Torch-bearer.' On the day Whitespire was finally completed she fulfilled that name by setting at its very top a massive, pure white flame that would last as long as there was magic.
Arcata's vision for Whitespire was ultimately to combat the sinister reputation of arcanists in Ortos, and the world beyond. She saw an opportunity to teach a generation of mages not just magic, but of the importance of principles of openness and service. She envisioned magic eventually becoming as normal and commonplace as smiths or carpenters, with spells and enchanted items of minor power, but enormous ramifcations, proliferating across the land as the number of people who could wield those powers grew. Mages would then have a place in society properly, rather than being barely tolerated around the fringes...and magic would only help the people overcome the many problems in their lives. Many mages disagreed with this, selfishly clinging to the mystery and fearsome auras that they felt augmented their power...these were turned away from Whitespire. Arcata had little patience for those who would abuse magic, or otherwise give mages bad names.
Tales disagree on what happened to Arcata and her elven companion Telachus. Some say that as she grew infim with age, Telachus took her to the Torchlight upon the tower's top and they vanished into the flame without a trace. Others say that they learned of a threat from beyond the world and ventured into the planes outside to stop it. Many believe she simply died peacefully, surrounded by the men and women of learning that she had devoted so much of her life to benefiting; many of whom she'd taught herself. And of course, not a few will swear that she hasn't gone anywhere...that she lives still, having discovered the secret of immortality, in the great tower. Of all these stories, one thing is agreed on. No matter her fate, should the light of wisdom and learning ever falter or come under attack, the Torch-bearer will return to set things right.
For now, and until then, the Whitespire continues more or less as she left it. It is owned and operated by a panel of seers and sages, who must qualify through a history of contribution to the school via teaching and/or research, called the Flamekeepers. They receive a stipend from the school accounts for the fulfillment of their duties in managing the school's operations and expenses, in addition to any stipends they get for other roles they may serve there. Though this council's rulings are the final word, they typically designate a Headmaster of Whitespire as well, who deals with the day to day operations, deals with teachers and students, and otherwise keeps things running smoothly.

Thanks for the interest. The opening post is yet incomplete and I will get to it tomorrow. Yes it is high powered/mythic but that is what being a divine being is about. I was considering gestalt, but with how another campaign theme that was heavy inspiration for this one,
I saw it was much ability bloat and little application.
Also if anyone gives me a convincing argument for Path of War content exclusively, I could find it in my heart to allow limited 3pp.

Name: Lorrick Hireldrim
Race: Gnome
Domain: Protection Domain
Alignment: Neutral/Good
Class: Summoner
Mythic Class: Archmage
Appearance: Lorrick has always been youthful looking, even for a gnome, and rather than fighting against it, Lorrick has joyfully leaned into it. He wears baggy clothes, and oversized accessories (like hats). However, his eidolon is Butterbean, the Gryphon, and Butterbean is really the primary focus of the eye, as Lorrick is nearly always riding between his shoulders.
Legendary Item: Aegis Shield.
Personality: Lorrick hides a keen intelligence behind a charmingly youthful and disarming personality. He's bubbly and friendly until someone makes it clear that they are working contrary to his interests, at which point he will turn on them with a ruthlessness that can leave some breathless. He's constantly searching for new ways to make his best friend, Butterbean, more powerful and better protected, and this can result in him being a bit absentminded as his mind spins concepts and theories about magical or practical improvements that he's come up with, mentally stress testing them before using his friend as a test subject.
Background: Lorrick was apprenticed very young, as the gnomish community he was from had little to keep him interested once his magical power showed. Apprenticed to a dwarven war wizard, his master found him confounding at every turn, as Lorrick showed no aptitude for the usual offensive spells, and somehow he was always accompanied by a baby gryphon. Despite the wizard's best efforts, Lorrick managed to continue his research into summoning, and eventually, the dwarf recognized the potential benefits of having a malleable, summonable creature at one's command. Once they achieved a detente, and his master recognized Lorrick's talent for research, the two worked together for years, with Lorrick going on periodic adventures (which he termed research and funding expeditions). Through the years, a small community formed around the tower they called home, and Lorrick took it upon himself (and Butterbean) to foster their development, and ensure their safety. As Lorrick grew in power, and word spread of his largesse, so too did the community grow, until a thriving small city had developed. And since it would be impossible for Lorrick to meet all the people in a small city, his legend grew, until little shrines started to pop up around the city, marked by rude carvings of Butterbean with a tiny majestic rider. Though he initially discouraged the practice, as the years went on, and the shrines continued to show up, he eventually came to accept them. Then, on another research and funding venture, hidden beneath a shield with a beautiful, snake-haired woman's face on the front, he found an ancient tome that spoke of the secret to immortality. Despite his youthful appearance, Lorrick was beginning to feel his age, and he read with interest about the mechanism described. He cleared the top floor of his tower and built the machine. With his best friend at his side, Lorrick activated the machine, and... nothing. No change. Shrugging his shoulders, he turned to deactivate the machine, only to be distracted by a noise outside the tower. Finding a crowd gathered, he went outside to deal with them, and forgot all about the machine. One thing lead to another, and he and Butterbean were off on another "research and funding expedition", the machine still running. Six hundred and sixty-six hours later, a beam of energy blasted out of the tower, aimed squarely for the Aegis shield, which hung on Butterbean's saddle, and struck the two of them. Suddenly, Lorrick knew the location of every one of the shrines in the city, and the number of people who had made an offering or offered a prayer. He felt every fiber of his being charged with the primal energies of the universe, and upon his return to the tower, he found himself in possession of new, godlike abilities. Using these newfound abilities to renew his commitment to protecting the city outside his tower, he spent the next several years actively participating in its development and expansion.

The Wood Brothers — Oliver and Chris Wood of Medeski, Martin and Wood — played the Egg's mostly filled Swyer Theater on Friday night.
Accompanied by a drummer, the trio played original blues-based tunes. Oliver sang lead with strong tunes sounding much like Van Morrison or The Band, and Chris harmonizing on the verses.
Any non-vocal moments were instantly greeted with big cheers from the audience, seemingly hungry to hear MMW-type jams. There was little of that. There were no wild instrumental jams, no pushing any limits. But there were good blues and soul tunes, versatile rhythm guitar from Oliver, with some slide work, and endless cool bass lines — bending and twanging through it all — from Chris.
Chris has a large vocabulary of phrases on his strings, always feeding new ideas, even inside the standard 12-bar blues tunes they played, putting a fresh lens on traditional-sounding structures. He also played some harmonica against his bass lines. You got the feeling he could juggle bowling pins while plucking a swinging a jazz groove.
They played songs like "Sing about Your Troubles," "You keep Me Around," "Fox on the Run," and "Mary Anna." Many of the tunes, like "Shoofly Pie," came from their latest live, double-vinyl album. Before playing "Postcards from Hell," Oliver explained it was a song written for all the musicians who played loud clubs where no one paid attention to the music.
The two brothers spent 15 years apart after college, pursuing separate musical careers. Oliver spent most of his time in the Atlanta area with a band called King Johnson, while Chris traveled the world with MMW. You might not expect Chris in a band like this — given his jazz studies and his recording resume. He is not a man who appears to enjoy himself on stage — rather his presence, with MMW as well, is intense, an artist determined to play his best.
Friday night, he seemed equally intent, as he does with MMW, and seemed to dive into the vocals with emotion. While his role on bass as mostly support may seem a little stifling, given the size of his talent, he appears to find the vocal element liberating.
He did play a beautiful, somewhat sad, solo with a bow. And he can dance, which he showed during his older brother's slide solo.
"I think we peaked too soon," Chris said after that moment.
You rarely hear Chris speak at MMW concerts. Friday night, he said a few words, including an original Egg joke: "If all goes well tonight, we're going to fertilize this concert hall."
He later explained that the Wood Brothers don't get to practice a lot, and since they were hitting the studio next month, he told us they were going to "rehearse" a few tunes, "if you don't mind." They followed with a bluegrassy ballad in three-part harmony that featured another cool bass solo.
An entertaining Jamie Kent played a folk-rock set to open the show, him on acoustic guitar and an accompanying acoustic bass player. They played solid originals, and offered some insightful commentary about his songwriting.
A few songs in, Kent took out a ukulele and explained that the most awkward dancer wins a CD. A few reluctantly stood to dance. By the second verse, about half the audience was up and dancing badly. Two large fellows came down front to intimately slow dance together, essentially hugging while moving. Everyone agreed after the song that they were the winners.
When things quieted down, they announced that they were brothers.

Normal, and that's good
Bad news is good news, learns every prospective journalist. But actually it also can be good news, if there is no bad one. This spring, this applies particularly to Mount Everest, after the disasters of the past two years. In spring 2014, the season on the Nepalese side ended prematurely, after an ice avalanche in the Khumbu Icefall had killed 16 Nepali climbers. 2015 even turned out to be a year without summit success on both sides of the mountain due to the devastating earthquake in Nepal. On the south side, 19 people lost their lives, when the quake triggered an avalanche that hit the Base Camp. Later all climbers departed. On the north side, the Chinese authorities closed all eight-thousanders after the earthquake in the neighboring country. This year, in my view, the Everest season is running so far largely normal.

Russell Brice: "At last"
Russell Brice breathes out. "At last", the 62-year-old New Zealander, head of the expedition operator Himalayan Experience, replies to my question on what he thinks about the planned new route through the Khumbu Icefall on Mount Everest. "We have been asking the SPCC (Note: The Sagarmatha Pollution Control Comitee is responsible for the route through the icefall.) to put the route more central since 2012. Now at last they have listened to the foreign operators instead of the local Sherpas who asked for the route to be moved so as they could travel faster … but not so safely." Brice doesn't expect that the new route will take the clients as much time as SPCC president Ang Dorjee Sherpa estimates: "It will take only about one hour longer, not three to four hours. You see there are not many people around these days who have been this way. But I have."

When life comes crashing down
[By Mari Marcel Thekaekara | New Internationalist] Kathmandu: the very name conjures up some sort of Shangri-la. Images of a romantic, exotic paradise. It was a hippy haven in the Sixties and Seventies. But before that, of course, there was Everest. There was always the Himalayas, majestic and awe-inspiring to even the most blasé viewer. Serious mountaineers arrived there in ...Read More »

Recipe for how to make healthy chicken quesadillasCategory: Recipes
A healthy recipe for chicken quesadillas
One of my all time favorite things to order when I go to a diner or get diner food at the end of a long night out was always chicken quesadillas. The one thing that I always hated about them, was the wrap was always so soggy from all the grease and oil they were made in. Now I love to make these at home with all organic and natural ingredients and make them in a way that the wrap is so crispy and using no oil (the only oil used is a few sprays of organic extra virgin olive oil to put on the frying pan so the wrap doesn't stick). These are so fast to make and they really fill you up as a meal.
When I make mine I use the following ingredients:
– thin sliced, all natural chicken breasts that have already been grilled using basil, parsley, sea salt and pepper with a bit of olive oil.
– chopped organic red bell peppers
– organic mild salsa, chunky preferred
– nature's promise organic shredded low fat mozzarella cheese
– diced organic white onion
– nature's promise whole wheat tortilla
– 1/2 diced avocado
I love to added 1/2 of an avocado diced up on the plate to scoop up and eat with the quesadilla. Avocado is such a healthy fat that I try to eat it as often as I can when I can fit in more fats into my daily macros. I buy them at Trader Joe's and get a few that are already ripe or almost ripe and then use them with omolettes or with my quesadillas.
I put all of the ingredients stacked in the very center of the wrap. I put them on before I put the wrap into the skillet. I put the skillet on low to medium heat and spray with the extra virgin olive oil. Once I pile in all the ingredients it goes into the pan just like you see below. Laying flat until the cheese starts to melt and I can see the the wrap's edges are starting to get crispy.
Once I start to see that happening I fold the wrap onto itself into a half moon shape like the below. I then let it sit for a bit longer to get all the ingredients inside melted and really cooked well. The wrap comes out very tasty and without all the grease. The inside contents all seem to stay inside and you won't have a big mess of the contents falling out onto your plate (or worse, your lap!)
And that's the recipe. I love that it only takes about 10 minutes total to prep and make. These I love making on the weekend for a quick lunch that will fill me up. I hope you make them and enjoy!

A day of thrills and spills yesterday left Argentina's big-hitting Angel Cabrera holding a one-stroke lead going into the final round of the Volvo PGA championship at Wentworth.
With halfway leader Justin Rose opening the door by managing only a level par 72, Cabrera moved out in front thanks to a birdie-birdie-eagle run at the start to his back nine.
The 34-year-old, known as "El Pato" - "The Duck" - shot a 68 for a 12 under par total of 204, while Rose fell into a share of second place with Scotland's Scott Drummond, Swede Joakim Haeggman and South African Darren Fichardt.
Most unexpected at the top is Drummond, ranked a lowly 435th in the world. On his 30th birthday the Devon-based player, never higher than 16th on the European tour and 186th in this season's Order of Merit, had a 68.
Ernie Els, who was joint second after two rounds, to everyone's surprise fell back to seventh. The world No 3, fives times winner of the World Match Play title on the course and three times a runner-up in the PGA, bogeyed four of the first eight holes, but finished eagle-birdie for a level par 72 and nine under total.
Playing partner Darren Clarke had a real up and down time as well. He eagled the 12th and birdied two of the other par fives, but finished with a bogey six after hooking into a bush and being forced to take a penalty drop.
Needless to say, the Ulsterman was not best pleased, but with a 71 for 10 under and sixth place, he is far from out of the hunt for a championship in which he has twice finished second.
Alongside Els is Nick Faldo, after a 68 that was one of the best rounds of the day. At 46, Faldo is chasing his fifth victory in the event, but has not won anything since 1998.
Colin Montgomerie failed to make the move he wanted to boost his hopes of finishing fifth for a chance of a spot in next month's US Open.
The Scot, round in 73 for three under, was then confronted by a Sunday tabloid reporter, whose opening gambit was to ask if he would be trying to have fun in the final round.
Montgomerie replied: "You've obviously not been divorced or had your wife's picture in the papers. It can't be fun right now.
"Wrong question. Start again."
A month ago Montgomerie and his wife Eimear announced they were separating with a view to divorce. He has been a shadow of his former self ever since and last week in Germany had his worst finish - 128th - since his debut in 1987.
Rose had also been two clear after two days in the Masters last month and on that occasion collapsed to an 81.
"It's encouraging to be only one off the lead," he said.
Drummond had two early bogeys but then a hat-trick of birdies around the turn and, despite the sudden attention on him as a result, he picked up further shots on the 13th and 18th.
Els, who pitched in from 60 yards on the 17th, said: "That finish saved me.
"It was there for the taking, but the good thing is I'm only three behind now."

Yeah. My entire upper body is SOOOORE. I took a complete rest and digest day yesterday (digesting lots of good eats).
BTW, here is what I made (it's like a mac'n'cheese AND frittata in one. Joanna and I ended up eating the whole thing, hahaha):
There is cauliflower and mushrooms under there. You can kind of see where the cheese meets with the eggs.
And I threw some basil on top of there:
Joanna used Sriracha sauce on top and I put cherry balsamic vinaigrette on it. Here's what it looks like when it's blasted with flash:
Wow. Sorry if it looks totally NOT appetizing, but obviously (since I'm eating it right out of the baking dish), we ate the whole thing.
Know what's interesting? It was my roommates first time eating CAULIFLOWER. Hahahaha. Luckily, she liked it. She was watching me closely while I was making it (while telling me stories, hehe), out of fascination because she had never seen a dish like this before. Even for me, I was just making a whatever baked dish… just grab things out of the fridge and cabinet and see what happens. Glad it turned out yummy 🙂
What was I for Halloween?
^Ahahaha, just kidding. I stayed at home and studied while wearing a blue face masque. Yeah, I'm totally boring.
Oh, and I'm getting started on another painting. Dunno where I'm going with this one yet:
As I predicted, the DOMS kicked in much more around last night and today. Raising my hands up in the air is tough. Even tougher? Getting dressed. Good, Lord!
So today, I am supposed to do the phase 1 again (Do your first pull-up) video, but that was obviously not going to happen. Instead, I hit the gym for a fusion of speedwork and tempo's.
2-mile warm up (7.0mph).
1.o mile tempo (7.6 mph), then 400 m jog/walk.
0.75 mile (7.8 mph), with 400 m jog/walk.
0.50 mile (8.0 mph), 400m jog/walk.
0.25 mile speedwork (8.6mph), 400m jog/walk.
0.50 mile (8.2 mph), 400m jog/walk
0.75 mile (8.0 mph), 400m jog/walk.
1.0 mile tempo (7.8mph), 400m jog/walk.
Then something like 0.25 mile jog to cooldown.
Total: 9.0 miles, 78:50. Obviously because of the speedwork and walking, the average pace doesn't really matter.
Umm, my forearms and biceps were DYING during this run!
Also, I did a ladder type of workout here (you can see the speedier miles go down and back up, as well as the speed go up and back down). Though I was on the treadmill for a long time, this workout FLEW BY (except for the last 1-mile tempo, which seemed to never end).
I need to consume more protein. I'm finding that I can put on muscle pretty fast… which is okay, I guess. My lats and abs are already showing (as opposed to when I only run and everything gets kind of mushy… except my thunder thighs).
Watch out, Cam D. I'm coming for your guns, girl:
Or Jessica Biel:
Hope you are having a great first day of November (BLAST YOUR CHRISTMAS TUNES NOW)!

You don't have any saved vehicles!
Look for this link on your favorites:
Once you've saved some vehicles, you can view them here at any time.
Extra color cost
The available 3.5-liter V6 direct-injection engine helps give Highlander the perfect blend of power and efficiency. Engineered using Toyota's next-generation technologies, this advanced engine is mated to a sophisticated Direct Shift-8AT (8-speed Automatic Transmission) to help give you more control. These components work brilliantly together to help give Highlander brisk acceleration off the line, and more mpg when cruising at speed.
Optimizing fuel efficiency means making enhancements all over—like the transmission and efficient engine that help to enhance EPA mpg estimates and earn an Ultra Low Emission Vehicle II (ULEV-II) rating.
The efficient Stop and Start Engine System (S&S)5 is available on V6 gas-powered Highlanders. This technology shuts the engine off when Highlander is at rest—like when at a stoplight—to help you save more fuel. When it's time to go, releasing the brake pedal seamlessly restarts the engine so you can effortlessly get on your way.
5 Before towing, confirm Stop and Start Engine System is disengaged.
When the road gets adventurous, Highlander embraces it with available Dynamic Torque-Control All-Wheel Drive (AWD). It distributes engine power from front to rear and manages the vehicle's braking system from side to side, giving you better control.
Some adventures are so big you have to tow them. No problem. Highlander can be equipped to tow up to 5000 lbs.6
6 Before towing, confirm your vehicle and trailer are compatible, hooked up and loaded properly and that you have any necessary additional equipment. Do not exceed any Weight Ratings and follow all instructions in your Owner's Manual. The maximum you can tow depends on base curb weight plus the total weight of any cargo, occupants, and added vehicle equipment. "Added vehicle equipment" includes additional standard/optional equipment and accessories added by the manufacturer, dealers, and/or vehicle owners. The only way to be certain of your vehicle's exact curb weight is to weigh your vehicle without passengers or cargo. Before towing, confirm Stop and Start Engine System is disengaged.
The 2019 Highlander features an inspired front fascia with a dynamic front grille and expressive headlights, making for one bold first impression. With a unique grille tailored for each grade, there's a Highlander that perfectly matches your style.
Turn up the attitude. The distinctive Highlander SE grade stands apart with its bold, gloss-black grille and headlights with unique black housings. Exclusive 19-in. multi-spoke alloy wheels help this SUV show off its sporty side. Inside, aggressively styled stripes on the seats remind all passengers that this SUV is always up for some fun.
Let's shine a light on style. Expressive headlights now feature integrated Daytime Running Lights (DRL), amplifying the 2019 Highlander's signature look. The stylish SE grade ups the excitement with its dark-black-accent headlights, while Highlander Limited Platinum has a powerful presence of its own with chrome-accent headlight housings. Every Highlander gets brilliant LED taillights for added visibility in the rear.
Highlander shows off its athletic side with a selection of available alloy wheels. The sporty Highlander SE has 19-in. multi-spoke alloy wheels with a black finish. Highlander Limited Platinum adds sophistication with 19-in. 5-spoke Dark Chromtec.
The available Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)7 is designed to heighten your awareness on the road by alerting you when a vehicle enters a blind spot on either side. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA)8 works similarly. When you slowly back out of a driveway or parking spot, it provides audible and visual indicators to warn you of approaching vehicles.
7 Do not rely exclusively on the Blind Spot Monitor. Always look over your shoulder and use your turn signal. There are limitations to the function, detection and range of the monitor. See Owner's Manual for additional limitations and details.
8 Do not rely exclusively on the Rear Cross-Traffic Alert system. Always look over your shoulder and use your mirrors to confirm rear clearance. There are limitations to the function, detection and range of the system. See Owner's Manual for additional limitations and details.
Highlander comes with Toyota's Star Safety System™, an advanced suite of six safety features offered standard on every new Toyota. The system included Vehicle Stability Control (VSC),9 Traction Control, Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA)10 and Smart Stop TechnologyⓇ (SST).11
9 Vehicle Stability Control is an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions, weather and driver steering input can all affect whether VSC will be effective in preventing a loss of control. See Owner's Manual for additional limitations and details.
10 Brake Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage of the benefits of ABS. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper vehicle maintenance, and tire and road conditions. See Owner's Manual for additional limitations and details.
11 Smart Stop Technology® operates only in the event of certain contemporaneous brake and accelerator pedal applications. When engaged, the system will reduce power to help the brakes bring the vehicle to a stop. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver input can all impact stopping distance. Smart Stop Technology® is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving and does not guarantee instant stopping. See Owner's Manual for details.
An Advanced Airbag System12/sup> helps protect you and your family with driver and front passenger dual stage airbags, driver and front passenger seat-mounted side airbags, a driver knee airbag, a front passenger seat-cushion airbag and Roll-sensing Side Curtain Airbag (RSCA) for all rows.
12 All the airbag systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems. All airbags (if installed) are designed to inflate only under certain conditions and in certain types of severe collisions. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating airbag, always wear seatbelts and sit upright in the middle of the seat as far back as possible. Do not put objects in front of an airbag or around the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing child seat in any front passenger seat. See Owner's Manual for additional limitations and details.
LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) provides an added measure of safety for the smaller members of your family. LATCH includes lower anchors and tethers on the outboard second-row seats and a tether anchor on the middle seat of the second and third rows.
A Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)13 comes standard on every Highlander. Designed to monitor tire pressure at all times, it alerts the driver when a tire or tires become critically underinflated and is one more way Highlander helps keep you safe.
13 The Toyota Tire Pressure Monitor alerts the driver when tire pressure is critically low. For optimal tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge; do not rely solely on the monitor system. See Owner's Manual for details.
Highlander's available Bird's Eye View Camera14 helps you see nearby objects and get into and out of the smallest spaces with ease. The system includes Perimeter Scan—an innovative feature that displays live, rotating 360-degree views of your surroundings when you're parked.
14 The Bird's-Eye-View Camera does not provide a comprehensive view of the area surrounding the vehicle. You should also look around outside your vehicle and use your mirrors to confirm surrounding clearance. Environmental conditions may limit effectiveness and view may become obscured. See Owner's Manual for additional limitations and details.

Wet his whistle, baby!
Want to shake things up in the bedroom? Try pegging, a way of flipping roles in the bedroom. The woman rocks a strap-on and penetrates her man. It's hot and it's very different. Gere are seven great pegging positions to try with your man:
1. Missionary
We're familiar with missionary, it's the most intimate and comfortable position in many scenarios, and that includes anal with a strap on!
"Believe it or not, many men prefer this position for pegging because they can fully access you (face and breasts) as well as their own penis to stroke during the action. The view isn't too bad either," says Dr. Kat Van Kirk, a licensed marriage and sex therapist.
2. Doggy style
Doggy style is a perfect segue to pegging.
"This position does involve deeper penetration and since you can't 'feel' the inside of him with your strap-on, you'll want to be sure he's communicating what is and isn't working," says Dr. Kat. Both of you have access to the penis in the position, too.
3. Cowboy
This position is just like the classic cowgirl but with roles reversed. "With him on top, he's in control and can ride it how it feels best for him. This position also allows easy access to the penis for added stimulation," says Tristan Weedmark of We-Vibe.
4. Spooning
Spooning is probably the most relaxing position for first-time peggers.
"It can help regulate depth control while the both of you get to benefit from full body-to-body sensations," says Dr. Kat.
5. Kneeling over you
He can control the depth and rhythm while you relax and take it all in. This position offers good breast and penis access, too.
6. Face to face
There's many reasons to love the intimacy of a face to face position, but one of the foremost is being able to see each other as you connect. It also keeps everyone's hands available for added fun.
7. Standing and bent over
This may be a slightly more advanced position for pegging, but it's loads of fun. When he's bent over, you may want to utilize a bed or table for support so that no one topples to floor.

As the weather and seasons are changing so does the spectacular displays in the setting sky. This particular picture also captures the jib sail in rotation while being caught in the wind and in the sun's rays. The clouds softly mimic the landscape of Point Loma in the background. There's something about this sunset that also feels like summer, how golden and soft the lighting is.

A total of 350 athlete representatives from nearly 200 National Olympic Committees (NOC) filled the Swisstech Centre in Lausanne for the first day of the 9th International Athletes' Forum. Panels on Anti-Doping, the Solidarity Model and the launch of the brand new Athlete365 Business Accelerator covered the schedule keeping participants active and abreast with the developments and programmes being pushed by the IOC Athletes' Commission to further support athletes the world over.
A stimulating speech by NASA Astronaut, Yvonne Cagle, hopefully, inspired the participants to push beyond their limits and aim for the stars. IOC President Thomas Bach then welcomed everyone to the biggest ever gathering of Athlete Representatives before reiterating his commitment to helping athletes. He asked for their ideas and interests to be put out on the table, so the community can grow and debate the best possible future.
Breakout sessions aimed at empowering ACs from all Olympic Movement stakeholders filled the afternoon with dialogue and a platform for the network to exchange ideas and initiatives.
The day was rounded off by a panel on anti-doping before a presentation on WADA's ADAMS and doping-control process.

The Ho Chi Minh City fire department, alongside multiple other agencies, participated in an emergency response drill simulating a fire and explosion aboard a passenger vessel on the Saigon River on Thursday.
The exercise operated under the pretense that a vessel carrying 40 passengers had its engines explode at 4:30 pm, only three minutes after leaving the southern city for Vung Tau.
While panicked passengers shouted for help, the ship collided with another nearby passenger line hosting 78 passengers. The second ship started sinking after the collision left it with a hole in its bow. Ten passengers "fell" into the river.
Crewmembers aboard both ships were quick to throw life belts to the passengers and asked those remaining aboard to keep calm while the captains called for help from the municipal fire department's emergency response team.
Five minutes after receiving the SOS call, Nguyen Thanh Huong, deputy director of the fire dept, led a team of 400 to the scene to begin rescue efforts.
The vessel ST-115, Vietnam's most advanced firefighting ship, was also deployed for the drill.
The local border guard unit and sea transportation authority was also present to rescue any passengers thrown overboard.
Ten minutes after arriving at the scene, ship ST-115 was able to approach the passenger line and extinguish the flames.
Medical responders were on hand to provide first aid to the victims and rush those with severe injuries to the hospital.
The rescue and firefighting efforts were completed in 20 minutes.
By5:20 pm, the fire department announced that the situation has been completely resolved.

Sound Off November 7, 2011
I would like the gentleman who has the foolproof plan to bring down the debt in Illinois to explain where he got his figures. I have never heard that 75 percent of people on disability are abusing the program. He may see people get out of cars and park in the handicapped and they don't limp, so he thinks they are not disabled. That is a fallacy. Just because someone can walk does not mean they aren't legally disabled. I think his figures are wrong. He explains his fair tax; it is such a simplistic idea that he thinks it works. You have to do more research and get into details before you convince anybody of anything.
I get tired of people saying Obama saved us from a Great Depression. He might have saved us from a civil war or revolution, too, but the fact of the matter is, it is only speculation.
The utilities keep telling us how to save money. I have a better idea. Just quit sending us the junk mail and take the excess profits off, and give us credit for that on our bill.
Yes, people have a right to protest. I am all for your occupy protest, but even if it is a peaceful protest, you do not have the right to violate laws and ordinances just because you are protesting. I think a lot of people are overlooking this issue.
Obama likes to blame the do-nothing Republican Congress for not passing his jobs bill, which is a stimulus bill. He must forget the Senate is governed by the Democrats. Many very good ideas have been brought up by members of the Republican Congress only to never make it to the Senate floor, thanks to Harry Reid. To blame Republicans for not getting anything done is disingenuous. Most of the Republicans and some Democrats are tired of the out-of-control spending done by this president.

Steve took Dad and I to the local Ramada resort. Cochin is kind of the Hawaii of India, so as you can see, there's a full and gorgeous resort here! Wow, right?
We had a meal that was more incredibly delicious food than we could eat, and Dad and Steve had fine drinks, and the bill was $56. I thought it was a misprint, since a meal like that would have easily been >$100 in the US.
We have a trip to Hawaii next month, and the cost of the flight was about the same. I wonder how the relative cost will look on the ground.
Now, I'm back in my (non-resort) room resting and trying to get my energy back. I am so glad that I made a pretty quick recovery. ☺ Things look very different when I am not super sick.

Campaign against child sexual abuse material on social media and the dark web
- Awareness
- 17/01/2019
- Stopchildporno.be, the Belgian hotline
With the creative help of communication firm Wunderman, Belgian Safer Internet Centre (SIC) Child Focus continues its fight against child sexual abuse material (CSAM) through its hotline stopchildporno.be.
Similar to the videos created in 2017, Wunderman created three videos with ambiguous titles. On 18 November 2018, the European Day of the Protection of Children against Sexual Abuse and Sexual Exploitation, Child Focus launched the sequel to its haunting campaign by sharing videos with titles such as "Cute toddler likes to suck", and reached over 500,000 viewers on social media.
However, the viewer quickly recognises that these are innocent videos, followed by a message indicating this is not always the case for videos depicting children. The videos then encourage people to report CSAM to the Child Focus hotline.
The campaign was also replicated on the dark web by placing a version of the videos on specific forums, with the aim to confront people who consciously look out for CSAM and to encourage them to seek immediate help for their behaviour. People who downloaded the video clip were then directed to the Child Focus website.
The success of this campaign could possibly explain the sharp rise in reports of presumed CSAM received through the Child Focus hotline website. The numbers show an increase from 746 in 2017 to more than 1,900 in 2018. 70 CSAM reports hosted in Belgium were referred to the Belgian police for further inquiry and more than 360 to sister organisations in their respective countries.
For more information about the work of the Belgian hotline, visit the INHOPE website and the hotline's website stopchildporno.be.

Very tight, which was a nice experience as the feel of it is outstanding. Both anal and vaginal entries are amazing to enter, but may take a bit of wriggling around to make sure you're fully inside as it is very tight.
Lube is recommended. Nice and quiet and overall amazing. I own a few sex toys, and this one is by far my favourite. I'd pay a much higher price for this than it's listed for!

Using 30mm spindle cranks with press-fit BB92 bottom brackets involves a few easy steps:
- Step 1: Ignore most of what's written on the internet about how you can't get this to work.
- Step 2: Get hold of the BB92 x 30mm BB kit from Real World Cycling. This uses specially developed bearings by Enduro that press into the BB92 shell. Each bearing features a double row of balls for strength and longevity (because the balls themselves have to be so small because of the large diameter spindle).
Slight caveat
To work best you want to use a 30mm spindle crankset that has a sufficiently wide axel. Cranks like the Specialized S-Works MTB cranks (and road variants) will NOT work with the Enduro bearings on a BB92 bottom bracket because the spindle is not long enough.
Cranks like the Canondale Hollowgram will work if you get the right length spindle. I was able to use a 125mm long spindle on my Trance X 29er frame but I did have to machine the lip off the axle. Longer (and more common) axles like the 131mm and newer 132mm will work as they are wider but you will need to use spacers on either side.

While we've already seen a few US national parks clamp down on drones in their airspace, it now looks like that no-fly rule is about to extend across the country. The National Park Service tells the Associated Press that it's about to order all 401 of its parks to ban unfettered use of drones on their grounds. Each park will have exceptions for high-altitude flyers, hobbyist clubs, researchers and rescuers, but you won't get to lug your personal camera drone around purely for the sake of remote sightseeing. If all goes according to plan, the Service will also have a preliminary national rule drafted within 18 months.
National parks will soon ban most drone flights

Service director Jonathan Jarvis argues that it's important to draw this line in the sand before things get out of control. Besides concerns about spooking wildlife, there are worries about the safety of rock climbers and others on dangerous expeditions. The last thing you need on a challenging ascent is an unmanned craft in your face, after all. As much as we like drones, it's hard to object to rules that let park guests focus on nature's majesty instead of vehicles buzzing overhead.

Friedman's Influence Lives On at the Fed
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
"WE ARE ALL KEYNESIANS NOW," Richard Nixon famously proclaimed in 1971. And with the massive expansion of government spending with the America's $787 billion fiscal stimulus, Lord Keynes is being rediscovered with pictures of his mustachioed visage popping up in the popular media.
But the ideas of the man who led the counter-reformation against Keynes, Milton Friedman, are being implemented to an unprecedented degree by the Federal Reserve.
Keynes and Friedman arguably were the two most influential economic thinkers of the twentieth century. And while Friedman is identified mainly with the revival of free-market precepts in the last quarter of the century, he and Keynes both made their marks in their respective diagnoses and prescriptions of the Great Depression.
Keynes' main thesis was that insufficient demand in the private economy should be countered by government tax and spending policies that would counter the shortfall. The orthodoxy at the time held that insufficient demand in the overall was an impossibility since prices would decline to clear the market. The economy would self-correct.
With unemployment at over 20%, it seemed this simple model didn't apply to the labor market. Moreover, interest rates had fallen to close to zero, so it appeared that monetary policy had become impotent. Hence, government spending would have to take up the slack.
That became the new Keynesian orthodoxy, as acknowledged by Nixon 35 years after Keynes elucidated his principles in "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money." His principle of countering declines in the economy was expanded by his acolytes to claim that government policies could prevent wide fluctuations by judicious fine-tuning.
But an alternative view of the Great Depression emerged from Friedman's work. In his 1963 masterwork, "A Monetary History of the United States, 1867-1960," co-authored with Anna J. Schwartz, Friedman determined that the Great Depression was caused by Federal Reserve policies that allowed the money supply to drop by one-third, resulting in plunging output, employment and prices.
But, when the Fed acted to expand money by purchasing government securities, the economy did revive starting in 1933 until 1937. Then the Fed became concerned about excess reserves in the banking system and tightened policy. The result was a renewed downturn starting in 1938.
While monetarists such as Friedman say monetary policy was the key to explaining the experience 1930s, other economists attribute the downturn to sharp increases in income tax rates under Herbert Hoover and the recovery to Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal policies. Others also blame the Depression on the collapse in trade following the enactment of the protectionist Smoot-Hawley tariff in 1930.
Despite the impact of higher taxes and barriers to trade, gross domestic product actually grew at a blistering compound annual rate of 9.4% in the four years to 1937, according to Paul Kasriel, director of economic research at Northern Trust Co. That strong real growth followed the huge expansion of bank reserves of 25% annually starting in 1933 through 1936.
That reserve growth was the result of Fed purchases of government securities, which creates credit figuratively "out of thin air," Kasriel explains. Because of the Fed's actions, the economy began to recover in March 1933 -- the month in which FDR was inaugurated. In 1937, however, bank reserves contracted by nearly 19%, and the economy went into a renewed decline.
The dramatic effect of the Fed's purchases of securities on bank reserves, and thus money, credit and, finally, the economy in the 1930s should put into perspective the importance of the decision of the Federal Open Market Committee Wednesday to expand dramatically its purchases of Treasury notes and bonds, agency debentures and mortgage-backed securities. The FOMC authorized buying $1.15 trillion additional securities, which would expand its balance sheet by more than 50%.
Building on Friedman's ideas to a great extent, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's past academic research focused largely on the impact of monetary policy on the Great Depression. Friedman also held that adherence to the gold standard worsened the downturn by forcing the Fed to sharply raise interest rates in 1931 to defend the dollar. Bernanke in various speeches has cited research saying countries that abandoned the gold standard or never adhered to one recovered faster from the Depression.
Bernanke, moreover, has asserted that monetary policy can still be effective even after its policy rate, federal funds or overnight interbank loans, was at or close to zero, as it is currently. Purchases of lengthier securities can bring down long-term interest rates. This buying, which colloquially results in "printing money," also lowers the dollar, which he says also effectively results in monetary easing.
Thus, Bernanke is putting into action Friedman's key precepts -- expansion of the Fed's holdings of securities to pump liquidity into the system and allowing the exchange rate to fall. Long-term Treasury yields plunged in response to Wednesday's announcement while the dollar fell hard.
Now, we have Keynesian fiscal pump-priming combined with Friedman's monetary expansion. Kasriel points out that fiscal policy can't stimulate without money printing. But put the two together and you can get explosive results, at least in the short term.
"Never underestimate the initial positive impact on aggregate demand of that power combination of increased government spending/tax cuts and a central bank running the monetary printing press at a high speed," he concludes. On that, both Keynes and Friedman would agree.
