There are two differences between the Original Lensbaby and Lensbaby 2.0: the optic and the aperture system. The optic in the Original is a single non-coated glass element, while the 2.0 optic is a coated glass doublet. Essentially, this means that the optic in the 2.0 is sharper.
The Lensbaby Optic Swap System is only for use with the Muse, Composer, and Control Freak. It is not designed to work with the Original, 2.0 and 3G.
The Original Lensbaby (Single Glass Optic) gives your pictures a softer, dreamier look; it has been called a "Holga on steroids" or a "digital Diana". Because the Original optic is non-coated, your pictures will show some diffusion, and occasionally, prismatic color shifts. Some portrait photographers lean toward the Original because it is softer and more forgiving. All Lensbabies have manual aperture systems: they come with a set of disks that drop into the front of the lens. The Original disks are held in place with a rubber gasket. To change the aperture, you pluck the gasket out, change the disk and drop the gasket back in.
The Lensbaby 2.0 (Double Glass Optic) comes with one more aperture than the Original (f 2.0). There are shielded magnets inside the 2.0. The magnets work together with disks that are made of metalicized plastic, so they drop in and stay in. The aperture controls the size of your Sweet Spot and how much blur appears in your picture; choose the aperture for the effect that you want to achieve, then compensate with your shutter speed.
The Lensbaby 3G (Double Glass Optic) has the same optics and aperture system as the Lensbaby 2.0. It comes with 3 extra apertures: f 11, f 16 and f 22. The major difference between 3G and the two earlier versions is that you can lock the 3G into place. Once it is locked you can fine-focus it. This allows you to repeat your shot and work in lower light situations using long exposures. You can shoot unlocked as you would with the Original or the 2.0 or you can lock it into place, fine-focus and adjust the tilt.
Many world renowned Photoshop® authorities, such as Katrin Eismann, Jack Davis, and Jim DiVitale, have told us that it is impossible to replicate with software the natural, organic optical effects a Lensbaby creates. But, many devoted Lensbaby users will not even argue that point because even if software could emulate the Lensbaby's look, there are many reasons why using a Lensbaby is more satisfying:
1) Speed
2) More organic
3) Multiple angles
4) Curved field of focus
5) Showing instant results to client
You will not see any Lensbaby blur in the Pinhole and Zone Plate, Soft Focus or Fisheye photos. These optics are extra creative options that Lensbaby offers. You should keep your Lensbaby centered facing straight ahead when using these optics.
The Macro Converters are necessary if using the Fisheye, Sweet 35 or Edge 80 Optic with the Composer with Tilt Transformer.

All Optics are compatible with the Composer with Tilt Transformer. Those compatible optics - Double Glass, Single Glass, Plastic, Pinhole/Zone Plate and Soft Focus - do require the Composer Focus Front Optic Adapter in order to function properly. Due to the lens being situated much closer to the sensor in these mirrorless Micro Four Thirds cameras, as compared to DSLRs, this Optic Adapter is necessary to focus to infinity. The Composer with Tilt Transformer ships with this Optic Adapter.
Lensbaby Macro Converters are required when using the Edge 80, Sweet 35 or Fisheye Optics with the Composer with Tilt Transformer.
All Lensbaby Accessories will work with the Composer with Tilt Transformer.
Olympus PEN digital cameras will automatically recognize your Composer with Tilt Transformer or Nikon lens on Tilt Transformer, and will meter in Aperture Priority or Manual metering modes. Panasonic Lumix G Micro System cameras require a quick and easy custom settings change. Simply go into Custom Menu on your camera and choose Screen 5, then Shoot without a Lens, then select ON, then exit the menu. You're now ready to shoot - in Aperture Priority or Manual metering modes as well.
All Nikon mount lenses will work with the Tilt Transformer. However, wide angle zoom lenses that do not have close focus capabilities can have trouble focusing to infinity when shooting at wider focal lengths, approximately 24mm and wider, especially when shooting at very wide open apertures.
The Composer with Tilt Transformer is two products in one – use it just like a Lensbaby Composer on your Micro Four Thirds or Sony NEX camera, and enjoy all the creative freedom the Lensbaby Optic Swap™ System offers. The Composer with Tilt Transformer comes with the Double Glass Optic installed and produces an image with a Sweet Spot of focus, surrounded by blur. Or - remove the front part of the Composer with Tilt Transformer (called the Composer Focus Front), and replace it with any Nikon mount lens. When you tilt your Nikon mount lens, you get a slice of sharp focus through your image that falls off into beautiful blur. Both the Composer with Tilt Transformer and the just the Tilt Transformer by itself are available now for Panasonic Lumix™ G Micro System, Olympus PEN® and Sony® α NEX digital cameras.
The Tilt Transformer is for use on Micro Four Thirds and Sony Alpha NEX cameras. It is an adapter that allows you to use Nikon lenses on your Micro Four Thirds camera, and do tilt photography. When you tilt your Nikon mount lens, you get a slice of sharp focus through your image that falls off into beautiful blur. The Tilt Transformer is available now for Panasonic Lumix™ G Micro System, Olympus PEN® and Sony® α NEX digital cameras.
It's not because we don't love Canon shooters. We love you all very, very much and several of us are Canon shooters ourselves. Canon EF lenses have an electronic aperture that cannot be adjusted by our Tilt Transformer on your Micro 4/3rds camera. Canon lenses on Micro 4/3rds and other mirrorless cameras only shoot wide open. And if being forced to shoot at your brightest aperture wasn't enough of a deal breaker, you'd also be unable to focus to infinity (or anywhere close) due to the Canon's narrower flange distance.
We are listening and keeping track of your requests. We're always looking at how we can offer new and exciting creative effect photographic lenses and accessories to visual artists like you.

The specks are actually dust on your sensor. The specks are visible when using the pinhole optic because the aperture is so small that it casts a well-defined shadow of the dust onto your sensor. Normally these specks aren't visible at apertures of 5.6 or brighter because the amount of light prevents the specks from appearing.
Lensbabies are available and work on almost all versions of Single Lens Reflex cameras that have interchangeable lenses. We have 5 different mounts.
The Canon EF Lensbaby will fit on all Canon DSLR and SLR bodies, the Nikon Lensbaby will fit on all Nikon SLR and DSLR bodies, etc. We also make Pentax Olympus 4/3 and Sony mount Lensbabies. The Sony Lensbabies also fit Maxxum and Dynax SLR cameras.
If your camera is a point-and-shoot, the Lensbaby won't work.
If you are shooting with a crop sensor camera, multiply your camera's crop factor by the focal length of the Lensbaby optic.
Yes, you can find it on the user guide page.
The Double Glass, Single Glass, Pinhole/Zone Plate, Soft Focus and Plastic Optics all have 37mm threads. You can use any 37mm threaded accessory including our Lensbaby accessories which are available in our webstore. The Lensbaby Step Up/Shade allows you to use 52mm filters on the above optics. The Edge 80 and Sweet 35 Optics have 46mm threads which means they are not compatible with the Lensbaby accessories except for the Macro Converters.
Simply unscrew the top of the optic. The Fisheye optic is f 4 with no disk and comes with disks that range from f 5.6 to f 22.
When using your Lensbaby, exposure is most easily controlled with your shutter speed and ISO adjustments. Exposure can also be adjusted by swapping out apertures on your Lensbaby. The aperture will not show up on the LCD or in your meta data. Aperture is controlled with the set of disks that come with your Lensbaby.
See images above for a comparison between two different crop sensor cameras and a full frame sensor camera.
The focal length is approximately 50 mm with the Double Glass, Single Glass, Plastic and Soft Focus optics. The focal length with the Pinhole/Zone Plate is 55 mm. The Original Lensbaby, Lensbaby 2.0, and Lensbaby 3G all have a 50 mm focal length. Attaching the Lensbaby Wide Angle and Telephoto accessory lenses screw onto the front of these, changing the focal length to 30 mm and 80 mm, respectively. Use of the Lensbaby 0.42x Super Wide Lens changes the focal length to 21 mm. If you are shooting with a crop sensor camera, multiply your camera's crop factor by the focal length of the Lensbaby optic.
The Sweet 35 optic is 35 mm, the Edge 80 optic is 80 mm, and the Fisheye optic is 12 mm. These optics do not take the screw on accessories.
The Composer focuses from 18 inches to infinity. The Muse and the Control Freak, as well as the Original Lensbaby, Lensbaby 2.0, and Lensbaby 3G, when fully extended have a minimum focus distance of about around 12 inches, and the maximum distance for achieving sharp focus is infinity on all Lensbaby lenses. With the Muse and the Control Freak, as well as the Original Lensbaby, Lensbaby 2.0, and Lensbaby 3G, you can actually focus on subjects as close as 9 inches away by pushing on the focusing collar rather than pulling in on it. The Macro Kit allows the user to focus between 2 to 13 inches away.
First determine the Flash sync shutter speed for your camera: this is usually between 1/60 and 1/500 of a second. Set your camera at this shutter speed or SLOWER, (i.e. 1/60, 1/30). If your camera has multiple options, put it in Manual or Aperture Priority mode.
Digital camera users can take a test shot and look at the histogram for correct exposure. * If the image is overexposed, use a higher aperture (smaller hole) or decrease your flash power by 1 stop. Continue to decrease aperture size or flash power as needed. You may have to experiment to find the right balance between flash power and aperture size to get the correct exposure with the amount of blur you want. * If the image is underexposed (not likely) use a larger aperture.
For film cameras used in combination with an external Flash Unit, do one of the following: * Use a flash light meter to measure the amount of flash being emitted from the Electronic Flash Unit and set your aperture according to the readings (make sure you calculate for the correct film speed!). * Calculate the distance from subject to camera and set the Flash according to the chart on your Flash unit. The users manual of the Flash Unit will also give you more information.
Some cameras have built in flashes that can meter TTL (through the lens) and adjust your flash for correct exposure.
Please go to our Electronic Flash page for more information.
The Composer and Composer Pro stay in place, the Control Freak can be held in place by a locking mechanism you engage by pressing a button. The Muse and the Spark do not stay in place - you need to hold it in place while you shutter. The legacy Lensbaby lenses, the Original Lensbaby and Lensbaby 2.0 are like the Muse and Spark- controlled by your fingertips. The 3G is like the Control Freak, you can use it loose or locked.
Yes. One side effect of using a teleconverter that goes between the body and the lens is that you will be eliminating a good portion of the Lensbaby blur around the edges, whereas a screw-in conversion lens will give you a longer focal length while keeping the sweet-spot small.
No. The inside of the older generation Lensbabies are very different than the new generation and there is no way to retrofit the swappable optics to work in them. You can use the 37 mm threaded accessories with these legacy lenses. The contents of the Accessory Kit, The Super Wide Angle adapter, and the Step-up/Shade are compatible.
Lensbaby offers a unique way to do selective focus photography with both curved and flat field of focus optics available. Unlike a tilt shift you cannot fix converging lines with a Lensbaby.
No, the Lensbaby is an actual SLR lens. You take your current lens off your camera and replace it with the Lensbaby.
All Canon bodies will work with your Lensbaby when set to Aperture Priority Mode. The camera will meter the light coming through the lens and will set the shutter speed accordingly. You can also shoot in Manual Mode.
The Safety Release Lock needs to be disabled. On the LCD panel, move the Right Arrow to the <sLock> icon. Next, press the <FUNC.> button. Turn the dial and place the setting on "0".
Nikon has disabled TTL flash metering when these cameras do not sense an autofocus lens mounted. In order to use the built-in pop-up flash on these cameras:
1. Go into your custom settings (CSM) menu and set your pop-up flash to manual rather than TTL (if this is not clear then your Custom Menu may need to be changed from Simple to Detailed in the Set Up menu).
2. Start by setting your flash power to 1/2 with a shutter speed/ISO combination that gives you an ambient exposure that is 1 to 1 1/2 stops too dark so your background does not go totally black. Test the ambient (non-flash) exposure by shooting a few test shots with the flash off. Play with the power of the pop-up flash from full power down to 1/16 to get proper exposure on your main subject(s).
Hotshoe mounted Nikon Speedlight flashes must be set to either manual or auto exposure modes. TTL modes on your Nikon Speedlight flash will not work with a Lensbaby on the D80 or D90 type camera bodies.
D200, D300, D700, D3, D2x, D2h(s), D1x, D1, D3, F100, N90(s), N70, 8008(s), FA, N2000, N2002, F5, F4, F3, FE(2), FM(2), F2, N6006, N8008, and the Fuji S5
Nikon mount Lensbaby' caps turn in the opposite direction of most other manufacturer's rear lens caps (remove the cap by turning clockwise).
Older and more expensive current Nikon cameras have a mechanical link between the aperture mechanism on lenses with an aperture ring. Nikon stopped putting this mechanical interface on the lower priced camera bodies. In order to make a mount that physically accepts all F-mount lenses, but avoids messing up an active meter that has no way of knowing what aperture the lens is going to be at the moment of exposure, Nikon disabled the meter altogether on these lower priced models (this a relative criteria since we are talking about $2000 D100 cameras and $400 N80 cameras). These cameras will work in manual mode and to shoot with a Lensbaby you set the ISO on the camera according to how much light you have, set the aperture on the Lensbaby according to what size Sweet Spot you want then take a test shot and go from there. Check your LCD and histogram and If the image is too dark or too light adjust the shutter speed accordingly. Nikon cameras that have no metering are the D3000, D3100, D3200, D5000, D5100, D5200, D40, D40x, D50, D60, D70, D70(s), D80, D90, D100, N80, along with the Fuji S1, S2, S3.
Follow these directions to get your Panasonic Lumix camera to work with a Lensbaby.
1. Open your camera' s CUSTOM MENU
2. Select SCREEN 5
3. Select SHOOT WITHOUT A LENS
4. Select ON
5. Exit the menu and you will now be able to start shooting with your Lensbaby.
In order to use a Lensbaby with your digital video camera, you will need to use an adapter. The following companies make adapters which have been tested and used successfully with a Lensbaby: P+S Technik, Redrock M2, Brevis35, Letus35 and SGpro. To use an adapter with the PL mount Lensbaby, you will need to choose an adapter that will attach to your camera (has the correct thread size, for example 72mm or 82mm) and features a PL Mount on the other end. You can also use an adapter with a digital video camera and an SLR mount Lensbaby; in this case you will need to choose an adapter that will attach to your camera and features an SLR (for example, Nikon) Mount on the other end.
No. Lensbaby does not offer a dedicated B4 mount Lensbaby and has no plans of offering one in the near future. The main problem in developing a Lensbaby for the B4 mount is the small sensor size. Since the Lensbaby relies on depth of field to create blur around the sweet spot of focus, a longer focal length is necessary than is viable for the small sensor cameras.
All three are PL mount camera lenses that allow rapid and fluid tilt photography. The Composer Pro PL and Muse PL are just like the other Composer Pro and Muse lenses- they just have a PL mount to fit any PL mount movie camera. The difference between them is the way you focus. The Composer Pro PL offers smooth and precise tilting and focusing. It will hold it's position. The Muse is focused my compressing in and out. You must hold it in place with your fingertips while you shoot. The Movie Maker's kit offers both models so you have both shooting styles. They are both compatible with the 8 different optics and the accessories.
The 3GPL has been discontinued. It is the same as the Lensbaby 3G model or Control Freak model in shooting style. This unit is compatible with eh 37 mm threaded accessories and the Lensbaby Creative Apertures but it is not compatible with the interchangeable optics.
With Lensbaby 3GPL, you can use all of the Lensbaby accessory products except the Lensbaby Macro Kit and Step-up/Shade and Macro Converters. You can use all Lensbaby accessory products with the Composer Pro PL and the Muse PL. In addition, with the Composer Pro and Muse PL you can use all the optics. The 3GPL has the Double Glass optic installed and you cannot swap it.
An Olympus 4/3rd mount
To allow the Digilux to fire with a lens that doesn't communicate electronically with your camera (like the Lensbaby), you must go into the Custom Menu Settings, page 4 and set "No Release without Lens" to "OFF". Then the Camera will meter through the lens, adjusting the shutter speed appropriately.

On an advertising banner across the bottom of this site, I noticed this ad and being curious I read though it. It has many claims for bargain price or even free flights, upgrades and all sorts of stuff by an ex-travel agent. Once you read past the incredible taglines I started to wonder....
I consider myself to be a frequent traveller. I utilise many travel sites and have a fantastic travel agent to fall back on too - I usually travel with children so never get upgraded on flights (one day - LOL) I'm not too worried about that section but am interested in the compensation (umm for what???) section, free (yeah right?) and crazy low fares....I'm sure many others are also interested too...
Has anybody used this guide? Is it worth the $25? Can I get this info free somewhere else? Is the info ligit or just rubbish?
I guess I do not want to waste my $$ on a guide that tells me to travel as a document courier for a free flight whilst my family travels at full fare or land at out of the way airports to save $$$ on flights then have to hire a car! I do not want to complain loudly about the poor woman next to me smelling like a sewer when it is not true just to get a free voucher for next time....see what I'm getting at?
Well I do hope a fellow DWT fan has an answer for me....TIA

Herbed Orange Roughy Recipe
Family-pleasing fish is never long in the making for Carla Weeks. Her Herbed Orange Roughy simmers quickly on the stove, keeping her St. Charles, Illinois home cool.
"My mother created this main dish, which is low in fat and calories," Carla notes. "I often use fresh scrod instead of orange roughy," she adds.
- 4 orange roughy fillets (6 ounces each)
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
- 1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh mushrooms, optional
- 1/8 teaspoon paprika
- Place the fish fillets in a single layer in a large skillet. Sprinkle with the lemon juice, parsley, bail, salt and garlic powder. Place mushrooms over fish if desired. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 6-8 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Sprinkle with paprika. Yield: 4 servings.

Yeomen Warders

Yeomen Warders of Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress The Tower of London | |
Active | 1485 (1509: see History)- |
Country | United Kingdom |
Role | Palace and Fortress Guard |
Garrison/HQ | London |
Commanders | |
Colonel in Chief | HM The Queen |
Insignia | |
Collar Badge | Rose, Thistle and Shamrock |
The Yeomen Warders of Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London, and Members of the Sovereign's Body Guard of the Yeoman Guard Extraordinary, popularly known as the Beefeaters, are ceremonial guardians of the Tower of London. In principle they are responsible for looking after any prisoners in the Tower and safeguarding the British crown jewels, but in practice they act as tour guides and are a tourist attraction in their own right, a point the Yeoman Warders acknowledge.
In 2011, there were 37 Yeomen Warders and one Chief Warder.[1] All warders are retired from the Armed Forces of Commonwealth realms and must be former senior non-commissioned officers or petty officers with at least 22 years of service. They must also hold the Long Service and Good Conduct medal.
The Yeomen Warders are often incorrectly referred to as Yeomen of the Guard, which is actually a distinct corps of Royal Bodyguards.
Although the Yeomen Warders are often referred to as Yeomen of the Guard, which is a distinct corps of Royal Bodyguards of the British monarch, they are in fact a separate entity within this guard. Gilbert and Sullivan's opera, The Yeomen of the Guard (1888), is set in the 16th century, an earlier era before the two corps were split apart; it concerns what are today the Yeomen Warders.[2]
The name Beefeater is of uncertain origin, with various proposed derivations. The most likely proposition[3] is considered to be from the Yeomen of the Guards' right to eat as much beef as they wanted from the King's table; as mentioned above, they are often confused with the Yeomen Warders. Various historical commentators have noted a preference for beef among the Warders and the Yeomen of the Guard. It is theoretically possible that these professions enjoyed rich, hearty broths as well. Cosimo III de' Medici, Grand Duke of Cosimo, Grand Duke of Tuscany frequented the Court in 1699, and in referring to the Yeomen of the Guard, he stated, "A very large ration of beef is given to them daily at court...that they might be called Beef-eaters".[4] The Beefeater name was carried over to the Yeomen Warders, due to the two corps outward similarities and the Yeoman Warders' more public presence.
Some etymologists have noted its similarity to hláf-æta, the Old English term for a menial servant, lit. "loaf-eater," the counterpart of hlaford "loaf-warden" and hlæfdige, which became "lord" and "lady" respectively.[5] Conjectures that derive the name from French serveur (waiter) are, according to the OED, historically baseless.[4]
The Tudor yeomen[edit]
The Yeomen Warders were formed in 1485 by the new king Henry VII, the first monarch of the Tudor dynasty, and the Tudor rose, a heraldic badge of the dynasty, is part of the badge of the Yeomen Warders to this day.
In 1509 Henry VIII moved his official place of residence from the Tower of London. The Tower did however initially retain the formal status of a royal palace and to mark this a party of twelve Yeomen of the Guard were left in place as a token garrison. The title of this detachment was subsequently changed to that of Tower warders as a more accurate reflection of their actual duties. As warders without any ceremonial state functions they forfeited the right to wear the scarlet royal livery of the now separate Yeoman of the Guard. This was however restored to them during the reign of Edward VI (1547-1553), reportedly at the request of a high court official who had been briefly imprisoned in the Tower and was impressed by the behavior of the warders.[6]
The original Tudor guard was split into two categories; the ordinary (i.e. permanent) guard and the additional troops of the extraordinary. In 1550, for example, the ordinary mustered 105 men, with an additional 300 extraordinary yeomen. Until 1549, the guards at the Tower were numbered among the extraordinary but in that year were raised to the status of ordinary yeomen. There was a considerable wage difference between the two groups. In 1562, a yeoman of the ordinary received 16d. per day, whereas an extraordinary yeoman was paid the same as a common infantryman (4d. or 6d.). In 1551, the ordinary was expanded to 200 men, of whom 100 were to be archers and 100 halberdiers but these numbers were not maintained. Uniform at this time was a velvet coat trimmed with silver gilt, worn over armour.[7]
Current composition and duties[edit]
In 2011, there were 37 Yeomen Warders and one Chief Warder.[1] All warders are retired from the Armed Forces of Commonwealth realms and must be former senior non-commissioned officers with at least 22 years of service. They must also hold the Long Service and Good Conduct medal. Traditionally only NCOs from the Army, Royal Marines and Royal Air Force were eligible to apply. This was because members of the Royal Navy, instead of taking oaths to the Crown, take an oath to the Admiralty, whose Head is the Lord High Admiral. This reverted to the Queen Elizabeth II from 1964-2011, after which she transferred this appointment to her husband Prince Philip. This discrepancy was brought to an end with the swearing in of the first Naval Yeoman Warder in 2011.
The Yeomen Warders normally wear an 'undress' uniform of dark blue with red trimmings. When the sovereign visits the tower, or the warders are on duty at a state occasion, they wear red and gold uniforms similar to those of the Yeomen of the Guard. These uniforms are referred to by the Yeoman Warders as the Tudor State Dress, due to the uniform having very little modification from when they were first introduced during the Tudor Dynasty, and are said to be[citation needed] 'extremely uncomfortable'.
The Yeomen Warders and their families live in tied accommodation inside the fortress paying council taxes and a portion of their salaries for rent. They must own a home outside of the fortress to go to when they retire. Some of the accommodation dates back to the 13th century. The community of the Tower of London is made up of these Yeoman Warders and their families, the Resident Governor and officers, a chaplain and a doctor.
Yeomen Warders participate in the Ceremony of the Keys each night.
On 1 July 2007 a service woman, Moira Cameron, became the first female Yeoman Warder in the history of the institution. Cameron joined the Army in 1985 at age 20. Aged 42 and Warrant Officer Class 2, she became eligible not long before her appointment. Previously, she served as Superintendent Clerk at a Brigade Headquarters with the Adjutant General's Corps.[8]
In 2009 two male Beefeaters were dismissed for the bullying of Cameron. Three Warders were suspended, and one was subsequently re-instated following the month long investigation, with his role 'unproven'.[9]

The Yeoman Warder Ravenmaster (also known as the Ravenmaster for short) is one of the Yeomen Warders who has the responsibility to maintain the welfare of the ravens of the Tower of London. The ravens are fed raw meat which is bought at Smithfield Meat Market by the Ravenmaster.
It is believed Ravens have been living in the Tower of London since at least the time of King Charles II and legend maintains that should these ravens ever leave the tower, the tower and the monarchy will crumble. When he received complaints that the Ravens interfered with observatory work, Charles ordered the re-siting of the Royal Observatory to Greenwich rather than remove the ravens. In order to prevent the ravens from flying away, their flight feathers are trimmed, so that they cannot fly in a straight line for any appreciable distance. The ravens are free, however, to roam the tower grounds.
The current Yeoman Warder Ravenmaster in the Tower of London is Chris Skaife who took over from Ray Stones in April 2011. The warders comment that the "real beefeaters" at the Tower of London are the Ravens, which receive a daily ration of beef.

The year in Sports: an accounting
High among the vanities of this dodge is the specious notion that as the year runs out it's possible to grade events that have transpired over the length of the calendar and even ascribe to them a lasting value. Or lack thereof, as the case may be.
It's a silly business, maybe more so than ever as the kingdom of sport becomes lathered with all the confusion, tension, and doubt surging all around it. Has the fun been drained from the games we play? Are they any longer an escape? The old order changeth. But to what end? If the year of 2012 Sport had a theme, let alone an enduring message, it may have been that we can't expect our games to rise much above their times.
Anyway, here's some of what we'll remember, as well as much we'd rather forget:
Of the home teams, only the Patriots came close to distinction, and after being thwarted again on Super Sunday by those dogged NY Giants, they threaten to redeem themselves big-time. At year's end, no NFL team is better poised to romp in post-season, although the messy loss to the 49ers on Sunday night did remind us that Boss Belichick teams have been known to peak too early.
Winter teams get mixed reviews while drifting further into flux. The Celtics gave the NBA's eventual champion Miami Hotdogs a scare, then lost Ray Allen and opted not to close the book on the Garnett-Pierce era. They now may be discovering that was a mistake. In defense of The Cup, the Bruins were erratic, ultimately allowing the inferior Capitals to eliminate them. In the smartest move any hockey player made, Tim Thomas – professing burn-out and having lost much of his charm – took a sabbatical. Everyone else in hockey remains on sabbatical, too, although it's hardly of their choosing.
Then there were the Red Sox. They lost 93 games, finished last, devoured another manager, experienced a historic purge, and ended their season disgracefully. It was their lamest season since 1965. A fervent promise to swiftly redeem themselves has so far been a dud, with their young GM looking over-matched.
How long will this ownership, being rather more pragmatic than its predecessors, put up with this? Probably only as long as the suckers of the beloved Nation keep filling up their ballpark which, in the season's lone highlight, observed its centennial amidst awkward folderol. As Red Sox seasons go, this one was a classic.
Otherwise, the game bears on with incessant tinkering. The playoffs were expanded and soon face further expansion. Houston got moved to the American League. The Dodgers got sold for $2.2 billion, then added another near-billion in bad contracts no one else wanted. The cynical Marlins tore apart a team they'd put together just a year ago, and the commissioner did nothing. The A's made the playoffs with the league's lowest payroll. But money still ruled. In the World Series, the Giants, with baseball's sixth highest payroll, beat the Tigers, with the fifth highest. Then, in the oddest twist, the Yankees, after a strange playoff meltdown, chose austerity.
It was football, however, that had the roughest time. Mounting violence became epidemic, shaming even the game's best and brightest. A thousand ex-NFL stalwarts joined in a lawsuit aimed at making the league pay dearly for its past indifference to player suffering. In the gravest embarrassment in NFL history, the Saints were charged with running a bounty program whereby defenders were handsomely rewarded for maiming opponents. Rogue players were increasingly out of control. In consecutive weeks, tragedy producing wrongful death stunned the game.
By comparison, the travesty now threatening to wipe out an entire professional hockey season seemed relatively tame if little less outrageous. Greed was the principal culprit further antagonized by a corrosive mutual distrust between player and owner deeply rooted in NHL history. That it all seemed so needless compounded the folly.
There was no shortage of people or issues to rail about:
Like Lance Armstrong: After years of belligerent denial he was finally exposed as a timeless cheat and fraud who ran a doping program while controlling his entire US cycling team with the force of an old-fashioned bully. Stripped of all honors accrued in his long run as alleged king of the road, Armstrong's defrocking was touched with a certain bitterness.
A more contrite Tiger Woods inched further along the trail of redemption but the process remained slow. When Woods's Ryder Cup team got edged by the Euro squad in a wonderful finish, few Yanks bemoaned the fact that Tiger had contributed very little.
Patriots' fans booed Adam Vinatieri, who played gallant roles in their only Super Bowl triumphs. It was even more bush than the Red Sox yahoos booing Johnny Damon a few years back.
Ohio State football, heavily censured for the gross ethical violations of a former coach, nonetheless went undefeated, proving yet again there's no justice in college football. "Goodbye Columbus" types petitioned President Obama to lift the bowl-game ban imposed on OSU which, happily, he denied.
A Texas A & M red-shirted freshman quarterback –unheard of four months ago – won the Heisman Trophy, proving yet again that the most prestigious college sporting honorific has totally lost its meaning and relevance.
Meanwhile, the NCAA, purported watchdog of college sport, also continued to lose its relevance.
Of much graver significance, Jerry Sandusky was sent to the slammer for roughly five lifetimes for the crimes of sexual abuse that destroyed Penn State's illustrious program. Books attempting to rationalize the late Joe Paterno's role in the wretched business rolled from the presses; however there seemed little mood for it.
In Puerto Rico, Hector "Macho" Camacho, not long ago among the finest pugilists, died in an appallingly ugly street crime. Can Boxing slide much lower on contemporary humanity's scale of depravity? The answer is no.
Happily, there were near as many issues and people that made us smile. Some examples:
A.J Dickey; the 38-year-old knuckle-balling Mets hurler whose finely written autobiography tracing his remarkable triumph over impossible odds won him almost as many plaudits as his pitching.
Remember Jeremy Lin? For about a month, the bright and unassuming Harvard grad was the talk of the nation as he rose from Ivy League walk-on to budding Knicks star. The Knicks being the Knicks, this charming tale faded in New York. But a revival proceeds in Houston.
Tim Tebow. He moved his curious act to Gotham where he remained the most celebrated bench-warming scrub in all of pro sport. Try as they might, they can't break this kid's remarkable spirit.
Notre Dame Football. It bloomed, seemingly, out of nowhere, charming the sentimental with long memories. The ultimate test looms with pagan Alabama the foe. Can sentiment carry the day?
Women in Sport. Cited by many as America's true 'athletes of the year', they dazzled in international forays climaxing in a sensational effort in the London Olympics. The Revolution sparked by a simple Congressional order a generation ago is complete.
Great Britain's favorite tennis brat, Andy Murray, comes of age. His gold medal coup at the Olympics may have been the year's most emotional sporting moment. Rivaling it was his triumph in New York, at the US Open. It was all quite fitting.
Which brings us, with a certain inevitability, to the best sports story of the year, at least in my opinion. And that would be the London Olympics, which sparkled in early August against, it seemed, all the odds. Boundless were the predictions that it would be an utter disaster, blighted by terrorism, weather, traffic, urban chaos, mediocrity, or maybe all five. But the games, lifted by the pluck of the athletes and the legendary grit of the Brits, prevailed, magnificently.
Which is a nice note on which to end this tome. And with it, another year.

Dark Sugar
The decline and fall of high-fructose corn syrup.
High-fructose corn syrup first started trickling into our food supply about 40 years ago; by 1984, it was flowing from just about every soda fountain in the country. These days HFCS accounts for almost half of all the added sugars in the U.S. diet, but the corn Niagara may soon be over. Last week, PepsiCo became the latest manufacturer to turn its back on America's sweetener, introducing three new soft drinks —Pepsi Natural, Pepsi Throwback, and Mountain Dew Throwback—sweetened with a "natural" blend of cane and beet sugars. Next week, Snapple will roll out its most expensive advertising campaign ever to promote a "natural" line of tea drinks brewed with "real" cane sugar. Pizza Hut, Kraft Foods, and ConAgra have also made the switch in recent months. Not even a $30 million multimedia campaign from the Corn Refiners Association has done much to reverse the trend.
The case against HFCS comprises the three cardinal claims of food politics: Like other villainous ingredients—trans fat and artificial food dye come to mind—high-fructose corn syrup is accused of being at once unhealthy, unnatural, and unappetizing. (These might be described as the Hippocratic, Platonic, and Epicurean tines of the foodie movement.) While none of these claims is completely wrong when it comes to corn sweetener, none is quite right, either.
Our fear of high-fructose corn syrup seems to have arisen from some very real concerns over the health effects of fructose, one of its principal components. The ingestion of glucose, another basic sugar, is known to stimulate the release of body chemicals that regulate food intake. Fructose, on the other hand, does little to suppress your appetite, and it seems to be preferentially associated with the formation of new fat cells. A growing body of research has led some scientists to wonder whether the increased consumption of fructose over the past few decades might be responsible for rising rates of obesity.
More damning evidence against fructose emerged just last week in an important study from the Journal of Clinical Investigation. Researchers in California recruited volunteers to drink a glass of Kool-Aid with every meal for 10 weeks; half took their soft drinks sweetened with fructose, the other half with glucose. By the end of the study period, both groups had put on weight, but the subjects getting fructose had more visceral fat—the kind that adheres to our organs and is associated with heightened risk for atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. The fructose group also showed higher levels of LDL cholesterol and lower insulin sensitivity. (One flaw in the Kool-Aid study: Fructose is much sweeter than glucose, so in the real world you wouldn't need as much of it to sweeten your drink.)
So there's every reason to believe that fructose is worse for you than glucose, at least taken pound-for-pound. But it's another thing altogether to suggest that high-fructose corn syrup is worse for you than other caloric sweeteners. Despite its name, HFCS doesn't contain much more fructose than table sugar—the product refined from beets or sugar cane. The stuff we put in our coffee, called sucrose, is a compound of equal parts fructose and glucose, * while the corn syrup used in soft drinks is a mixture of 55 percent fructose and 42 percent glucose. (The sugar ratio in HFCS is about the same as in honey.) If fructose were really the source of all evil, then HFCS would be only marginally more sinful than "real" cane sugar. Indeed, the authors of the study published last week don't distinguish between the two sweeteners: Corn syrup and sugar could be equally bad, they argue, since both contain significant quantities of fructose: "Additional studies are needed to compare the long-term effects of consuming HFCS and/or sucrose with 100% fructose."
There may be other reasons to blame obesity in the United States on high-fructose corn syrup. According to a critique popularized by Michael Pollan, the development of HFCS allowed cheap, subsidized corn to be converted into cheap, subsidized sugar. Food processors plumped up with empty calories, and America got fat. But it's not clear we'd be consuming any less sweetener if corn weren't so cheap and plentiful. Since the corn content of HFCS contributes less than 2 percent (PDF) to the cost of producing a can of soda, the effect of the subsidies amounts to just a few pennies in the retail price. And while the price of corn syrup is kept artificially low by farm subsidies, the prices of other sweeteners are artificially inflated by tariffs and quotas on imported raw cane sugar and refined sugar. In other words, if we wiped out all of our subsidies and trade restrictions, we'd still have plenty of cheap sugar around, and processed foods would be just as caloric. As Tom Philpott points out in Grist, you don't need high-fructose corn syrup to rack up American-style obesity rates: Australia manages similar numbers with a food industry based largely on cane sugar.
The unwholesome reputation of HFCS has no doubt been exacerbated by the general view that it's less "natural" than other forms of sugar. The notion that anything natural is healthy—and anything artificial is not—seems especially silly when it comes to added sweeteners. If fructose is indeed the problem, we'd do well to avoid the all-natural sweeteners in health-food products and fruit drinks, which often include concentrated apple or pear juices. These are almost two-thirds fructose—and might be significantly worse for your health than HFCS. (Organic, raw agave nectar could be even more dangerous, containing 90 percent fructose.) In any case, the question of how to classify HFCS is a vexing one, since the highly processed syrup is made from a natural product that grows in the soil. The major argument for designating HFCS as an artificial product relies on the long list of chemicals used to convert corn starch into fructose and glucose. (Two of those chemicals can transfer trace quantities of mercury into the finished product.) At least one part of the process makes incidental use of a toxic, synthetic fixing agent called glutaraldehyde.
On that basis, consumers have repeatedly tried to sue soft-drink manufacturers for marketing HFCS-sweetened products as "all natural." In 2007, the makers of 7Up and Capri Sun changed the wording of their labels in the face of legal action. A similar lawsuit against Snapple was tossed out last year, when the judge decided that what can only be described as the metaphysical status of corn syrup was better left up to the bureaucrats at the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA, for its part, finally addressed the matter in mid-2008, ruling in favor of the corn refiners. According to the government, HFCS can be considered "natural" so long as the glutaraldehyde never comes into physical contact with the syrup.
That ruling has done little to convince the public, though, and the food industry has continued to indulge the notion that corn syrup is fake while cane sugar and beet sugar are real. The makers of new, sugar-sweetened soft drinks inevitably tout their all-natural ingredients—according to the Mintel marketing research group, the "natural" claim was more prominent than any other in 2008, appearing on 23 percent of new food and beverage labels.
These same marketing campaigns pander to the widespread and unproven belief that high-fructose corn syrup has an unpleasant flavor. ("Science aside, there's no question that sugar just plain tastes better," says one prominent food blog.) The vice president of marketing for Snapple announced that the company's decision to change sweeteners "comes down to delivering great taste"; according to the editor of BevNet.com, an industry publication, cane sugar has a "much different, cleaner taste. … You don't have that syrupy coat in your mouth after you drink it." This sentiment accounts for the yearly excitement over the sugar-sweetened, kosher Coke and Pepsi that turn up at the supermarket during Passover; HFCS-free Mexican Coke generates similar enthusiasm for its supposedly better taste.

Don't Forget to Laugh: Acme Comedy Club

As they say, laughter is the best medicine.
No really, it is helpful: It's good for your mental and physical health, has been known to help fight stress and even disease. It can help lower your blood pressure, increase energy levels, and I don't know about you, but I consider it some pretty good exercise, too, when I really get going.
Some of my best trips or nights out are full of laughter—just as joyous and unexpected as the act itself—so we're lucky to have one of the nation's best laugh-inducers right here in Minneapolis: Acme Comedy Club and Sticks Restaurant. It's celebrating 20 years in the biz, and still going strong.
Come for their seasoned pros, or see what you get at open mic on Monday nights. Either way, the talent is smart, diverse, and guaranteed to burn at least a few calories—as long as you don't consume too many tasty adult beverages from the bar.
Tips: If you don't want to be part of the show (you know, that moment where an innocent bystander's reaction or hat are picked apart, or they ask for audience participation), then I recommend sitting a fair distance from the stage! Aside from other deals, you can get six free tickets to Acme during your birthday month (valid Tuesday through Thursday). And for a full night of fun, book a show package including dinner and the show. Acme is ultimately just a block from Marriott Towne Place Suites or a quick cab ride from other downtown Minneapolis hotels and entertainment.
Laughter truly is a universal language—recognized and contagious in every culture. So sit back, relax, and don't take Minnesota so seriously!
Must be 18 years or older to attend. Street parking available, or there's a lot right across from Acme.
Acme Comedy Club
708 North 1st St., Mpls.

Hi Friends,
Their is a problem related to fonts, I m working with English & Arabic Fonts,
when i use to write arabic text after when i go to change them the fonts series named MCS & AF (Arabic Fonts)
are displayed but after selection the text changes to boxes i mean to say these fonts are not changing but some of the other fonts of arabic are coming proper, why its happening?
but when i use x5 this fonts are working so whats the problem with X6..!!!
There are important issues with some Arabic Font in X6. If your font does not work with X6, I'd recommend that you wait for the next service pack. We are in the process of addressing several Arabic specific issue for the next service pack.
If you send me a copy of your font, I can verify that it works in our current internal build. (email@example.com).
Claude Peloquin, CorelDRAW Principal Software Developer (Specialty : Text)
i hav send u a copy of some arabic fonts which are not working,
plz reply me as soon as possible n wn ur new service pack is coming???
Wow, that is an amazing collection of Arabic font you sent me!!! This is totally awesome : it will really help us a lot.
Ok so it appears that not all problems are fixed in our internal build yet. All the fonts that start with "AF_" are fixed.
But all those that starts with "MCS" are still broken. I'll notify our Quality assurance department of this and this defect will follow its course. I, however, can't make any promise but, in my personal opinion, this will be deemed serious enough to be addressed in the next service pack.
Thanks a lot for your fonts.
I am having an issue with the Technical Font. I can see them in CorelX6 but I can't print them. We have a large data base of files that customer's request us to change the year from a previous file. The File opens but it claims we have unlicensed font. We got the font with a previous Corel. We still have the disks. I have tried to put the problem in through Support but the Support page wont let me add in my new lic and then tried to call and have been put on hold for over an1hr and still waiting.
Juzer : heir is a problem related to fonts, I m working with English & Arabic Fonts, when i use to write arabic text after when i go to change them the fonts series named MCS & AF (Arabic Fonts)
heir is a problem related to fonts, I m working with English & Arabic Fonts,
The "AF" arabic fonts are using a very old file format created for windows 3.0 about 20 years ago. We have to use older technologies to be able to render them. We would like to know how widely used such old fonts are? Are you guys still using them a lot? The more feedback, the better.

Loew's Theatre
125 North Main Street,
2 people favorited this theater
Opened on 4th May 1918 as the Dayton Theatre, it was the classiest of all the Dayton movie theatres. It was acquired by Loew's Inc. in 1920 and from 1924-1930 was known as Loew's Dayton Theatre and from 1930 to 1972 Loew's Theatre.
It was a really cool theatre. It had a big oval mezzanine that was open to look down into the lobby. The balcony had more seats than the orchestra level! I watched a lot of Disney movies growing up in the 1960's then went on to see concerts such a Phoebe Snow, Lou Reed, and George Carlin in the 1970's. My grandmother gave me a table that was in the upper level lobby that has a mirror top and painting on the side.
I remember it being very plush. In the womens restroom they had about ten chairs in front of a big mirror for primping and lots of velvet chairs thoughout the theater.
In 1972 Loew's sold the building and it was taken over by the owners of the Victory Theatre across the street. Re-named Palace Theatre it was used for concerts, but this was short lived and it closed in 1975 and was demolished.
News reports at the time stated that an office block would be build on the site which would include two theatres on the ground floor, but this never materialised and the site remains an empty lot, used for parking.

I probably saw more movies at this theater when I was growing up than in any other theater in Dayton. It was a very large theater with a large lobby and a huge marquee. WING radio used to do a noontime man-on-the-street broadcast each weekday here. The James Bond movies used to be exclusive here as were most of the MGM films. The Victory across the street got the Disney movies. Everything else seemed to go to the RKO Colonial, RKO Keith, and RKO State.
Carl Rogers was manager from 1951 to 1970 and a fantastic celebration/promotion of the 50th anniversary in 1968.
Great picture posted by Zack. The marquee looked great, different from most Loews marquees.
The orginal marquee looked very much like the LOEWS PALACE in Washington,D.C.
Here's an item from the trade journal The Ohio Architect, Engineer and Builder, issue of February 6, 1917. Datelined Dayton, it probably refers to this theater:
"Architects Shenk and Williams are preparing plans for a theater to occupy the site of the old Baptist church on Main St. to be built for both pictures and drama, the cost of which will be $250,000. It will have a seating capacity of 2500 and will be built for the Dayton Theater Building Co., just organized by F. H. Rike, Charles W. Dale and others. Contracts will be awarded about the 15th of March."Taking more than a year to get a theater built in this period would have been unusual, except in 1917-1918, when the entry of the United States into the WWI led to some disruptions in both the labor market and the supply of building materials, especially in the industrial areas of the northeast.
Schenck & Williams (Harry I. Schenck and Harry J. Williams) was one of Dayton's leading architectural firms during the 1910s and 1920s. I haven't found any other theaters attributed to them, but they designed many other major projects.
Schenck & Williams designed the Dayton Theatre in a restrained Beaux Arts style, as can be seen from the photographs here, in the August, 1920, issue of the professional journal Architecture. There's also a floor plan. Scroll down to see a page with four interior photos.
The Internet Archive reader displays the photos as they were published, so some face sideways on the monitor, and there's no mechanism for turning them right side up. Fortunately, they can be downloaded. Resize the pages using the + sign in the toolbar at lower right, then right click and save as usual. Any decent image viewer program should be able to rotate them. I'd recommend IrfanView for anyone who doesn't have it. It's free, and fairly easy to use.
Thanks to Ken Roe in the UK he directed my steps to the Loews Dayton Theatre only to read that this theatre is gone and that "the site remains an empty lot used for parking". So sad and so shameful that Dayton no longer has this treasured cinema!
When theatres like the Dayton came down in the 70's for most likely Urban Renewal didn't the folks of these communities ever think they would need or want a place to show movies, plays and musicals? They had this theatre and then let it be demolished for "an empty lot used for parking".
Above is an url to a little video I posted on YouTube of the Loews Theatre. I used only the few photos that I had at the time so it is short.

Herban Cowboy Deodorant Wild -- 2.8 oz
Whew... It Works!
I'm a stinky chick. Whatever. I've accepted it. Moving on.
So I decided to try this deodorant, because a lot of my natural deodorants have failed me. I have tried.... like, all of them? And yeah, I have not had the best results.
I walk for exercise, I do yoga, I wear winter clothes. I sweat. But this makes me not smell like Chinese food at the end of the day. I love Chinese food, but I don't want my pits to smell like it.
Yes, with most natural deodorants I have to reapply in the middle of the day. They can say this is 24-hour protection, and it likely would be for someone like my mom- she doesn't exercise OR sweat. But if I apply this sometime in the middle of the day, I'm good.
I really like the scent. I was expecting manly, but it's not manly AT ALL. Not even spicy. It almost reminds me of Carmex? Or some other lip balm stuff I used when I was a kid. I like the smell, though!
March 11, 2013
Unique Scent
I purchased the Herban Cowboy Blossom scented deodorant, and I was excited about the scent, and that it lasted all day. I like this one because the scent is mellow, yet slightly spicy, though it does not seem to last as long as the Blossom one. It does burn a little when I wear it, so I don't know if I have sensitive skin or it's something in the deodorant.
November 11, 2012
Great scent but weak protection
Smells very good and unique, but the protection does not last at all - very weak.
October 31, 2012
Great stuff
Okay, first this deodorant smells great. That is why I buy it. Second it is healthy and contains no aluminum and stuff thats like an added bonus. Other deodorants are so obnoxious smelling and are too sweet or bitter or whatever. This is a perfect light smell and it is masculine. You will only smell it if you are close, even if you are wearing it you don't smell it. That doesn't mean it doesn't work. It's hard to find this stuff in retailers and I have to buy online.
May 15, 2011
What a cool scent! I was unsure to try this product at first, but glad I ordered it. I am not dissappointed! The scent last for hours and it is a ROCKING great scent to include in the personal care item drawer! I will order this again for sure. Quality product and a great price! Way to go vitacost!

Serena Williams, Victoria Azarenka advance, but Venus doesn't
MELBOURNE, Australia — Title favorite Serena Williams and defending champion Victoria Azarenka advanced in contrasting styles today to the fourth round of the Australian Open.
Williams, aiming for a third consecutive major title, recovered from a service break down in the second set to win six straight games and finish off a 6-1, 6-3 win over Japan's Ayumi in 66 minutes.
The 15-time major winner even surprised herself with another serve at 128 mph (207 kph), matching her career fastest serve she hit earlier in the tournament.
"I tried to hit it really hard. I hit 207 (kph) the other day and I thought it was luck," she said. "But I did it again and I was like whew! I'm going to try to go for 210. We'll see."
Sister Venus won't be joining her. She lost Friday night to Maria Sharapova, 6-1, 6-3.
Top-ranked Azarenka struggled to hold off injured American Jamie Hampton, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2, and didn't help herself with six double-faults.
Hampton, who needed a medical timeout for a lower back problem before she served out the second set and winced in pain, frequently on the verge of tears, throughout the third, still managed to hit 41 winners to keep the Belarusian under pressure.
Azarenka appeared frustrated at times, but overcame an early break and fended off triple break point in the seventh game of the deciding set before clinching the match in 2 hours, 9 minutes.
"She played incredible, went for every single shot. I felt it was touching every single line," Azarenka said. "She took a medical timeout but she rips winners all over the place and I was like, 'Can I have a back problem?' I'm feeling great, but I'm missing every shot."
After wasting two set points on Azarenka's serve late in the second set, Hampton had to leave the court for nine minutes to have treatment on her back.

How severe will the cuts due to be outlined in the Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) actually be? This short, opinion-free briefing that aims to answer this question, by examining the spending totals outlined in June's Emergency Budget.
A report by financial analyst Nigel Hawkins detailing the £90bn worth of government assets that can be privatized between 2010–2015. The report argues that repeating the highly successful privatization campaigns of the 1980s and 1990s would raise much-needed funds to pay down part of the national debt, and would open up new sectors of the economy to competition.
Our response to the Department of Work & Pensions' '21st Century Welfare' consultation argues in favour of radical welfare reform, endorsing the 'universal credit' subsequently adopted by the government. Its authors note that piecemeal reform of the welfare system is unsuited to overcoming its two chief failings – failing to provide a safety net for the needy and creating perverse incentives against work – and instead suggest sweeping away the existing welfare system and introducing a Universal Credit that pays initial benefits at 50% of the median income, and tapers at 55%.
This briefing paper, by ASI fellows Tim Ambler and Keith Boyfield, notes the extraordinary growth of the UK's regulatory agencies since 1997 and the deleterious consequences for the UK economy. They argue that the UK's regulators should first be restricted to their original, purely economic role, and subsequently merged into a single, competition-focused Office of Fair Trading.
In this article Dr Madsen Pirie discusses private options for university funding, arguing against a graduate tax. He proposes universities follow the Harvard model of funding and that the government should promote bequests to universities through tax relief.
This briefing paper, by lawyer and medical practitioner Anthony Barton, argues that both the legal aid and the Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) systems are flawed in that they give rise to situations which are not economically sustainable or politically acceptable. This paper suggests scrapping civil legal aid in almost all cases, and reforming the CFA system to deter risk-free speculative litigation.
Austrian School economists gave us the ideas of marginal utility, opportunity cost, and the importance of time and ignorance in shaping human choices and the markets, prices and production systems that stem from them. 'Austrian' economics has revolutionised our understanding of what money is, why economic booms invariably turn to damaging busts, why government intervention in the economy is a mistake, the importance of time and information in economic decision-making, the crucial role of entrepreneurship, and how much economic policy is just plain wrong. Eamonn Butler explains these ideas in straightforward, non-technical language, making this Primer the ideal introduction for anyone who wants to understand the key insights of the Austrian School and their relevance and importance to our economic situation today. Now updated with an additional chapter on Contemporary Austrian thinking.
Tom Clougherty discusses the big society agenda and why it is preferable to big government. He argues that big government undermines the complex fabric of relationships that exist in a free society but also warns of the dangers of government attempting to plan society.
This report, by media expert and former BBC producer David Graham, argues that the TV Licence Fee should be abolished, and that the BBC should instead become a subscription service. The report makes a number of points against the Licence Fee, but also makes a more positive case for reform, suggesting that shifting to a voluntary subscription model would encourage the BBC to compete with the big US studios, export more high quality content overseas, and spark significant growth in the UK broadcasting industry and its contribution to the wider economy.
In this think piece, Terry Arthur explains why the Left and the Right are both wrong about crime and punishment. As he puts it, "All three of the main parties remain incorrigibly statist, and at this rate, almost any action will soon be classed as either banned or compulsory."
The Adam Smith Institute is the UK's leading libertarian think tank...
