|Economics in Crisis: What Do We Tell the Students?
The profession of economics requires a revolution in thinking if it is to play a constructive role in solving the multiple and multi-dimensional crises that so engulf our world, our species, and the fabric of human community. We are running out of time, write Kamran Mofid and Steve Szeghi.
23rd April 2010 - Published by Share The World's Resources
The recent global crisis has led to questions about whether the kind of economics that is taught in universities was responsible for the crisis itself, or indeed for its widespread failure to predict the timing and magnitude of the events that unfolded in 2008. There are many reasons for such failure. However, whatever the reasons might be, we strongly believe that now is the time for us all to begin to debate this issue and to discover what it is that we should now teach our students.
At the core of the social attitudes which are engendering the crises of the environment and increasing inequality are both market fundamentalism and standard economics. While standard economics in and of itself is distinct from the rigid ideology of market fundamentalism, too often the profession as a whole has failed to draw the sharp distinctions between standard theory and the claims of market fundamentalists. The silence of much of the economics profession in the face of the political ascendancy of this 'market knows all' ideology has enabled and assisted it.
Now is the time to acknowledge the failures of standard theory and the narrowness of market fundamentalism. The times demand a revolution in economic thought, as well as new ways of teaching economics. In many respects this means a return to the soil in which economics was initially born, moral philosophy amid issues and questions of broad significance involving the fullness of human existence.
To begin this process, we suggest the following:
1. Begin a Journey to Wisdom
We should acknowledge that economics and business should be all about human well-being in society and that this cannot be separated from moral, ethical and spiritual considerations. The idea of an economics which is value-free is totally false. Nothing in life is morally neutral. In the end, economics cannot be separated from a vision of what it is to be a human being in society.
A necessary step in this journey of self-discovery is to discover, promote and live for the common good. The principle of the common good reminds us that we are all really responsible for each other - we are our brothers' and sisters' keepers - and must work for social conditions which ensure that every person and every group in society is able to meet their needs and realize their potential. It follows that every group in society must take into account the rights and aspirations of other groups, and the well-being of the whole human family.
2. Now is the Time for a Revolution in Economic Thought
The focus of economics should be on the benefit and bounty that the economy produces, on how to let this bounty increase, and how to share the benefits justly among the people for the common good, removing the obstacles that hinder this process. Above all else the purpose of the economy is to provide basic human needs as well as the means of establishing, maintaining, and nurturing human relationships while dealing justly with future generations (sustainability) and ethically with all life on earth (ecological balance).
Moreover, economic investigation should be accompanied by research into subjects such as anthropology, philosophy, politics, ecology, environmental ethics, and theology, to give insight into our own human mystery, as no economic theory or no economist can say who we are, where have we come from or where we are going to. All human beings and all species must be respected as part of the web of life and not relegated to narrow short term economic interests, commodification, or exploitation, as has been the case for the past few centuries.
In addition, the so called modern world (both East and West) has much to learn from the spiritual and cultural values of the worlds many indigenous peoples, both past and present. There exists much wisdom among indigenous communities, containing lessons in sharing, equality and justice which can help draw 'modern' people into engagement with the deeper realities of their own dominant religions. Also, people who live close to the earth, who possess an earth-based spirituality typically view themselves as part of nature, part of the earth, part of a community of species as well as being part of the human community.
In a nut-shell, we believe that we should change our narrow economic obsessive and human centric language, terminology and values, to more inclusive ones.
3. Now is the Time for a Revolution in the Teaching of Economics
In order to ensure that our economic and business education produce graduates and the MBAs capable of rising to the challenges the world faces today, we propose an ongoing comprehensive examination and study of the major attempts to integrate economics with ethics and spirituality, along with an exploration of the theoretical underpinnings of these activities.
Much of what students need to learn in economics courses is actually readily found in standard economic theory. The typical course and textbook tends not to emphasize them, however. These concepts include externalities, public goods, imperfect competition, and the absence of information. All of these result in the failure of the market to work well. Theory makes it abundantly clear that externalities such as pollution and waste result in market failure. Yet the typical student comes away from their economics course with the notion that markets usually work quite well. In fact, markets do not actually work so well, as externalities are not only widespread but are quite significant in the production and consumption of most goods and services. Governments usually do not sufficiently tax or otherwise restrict negative externalities and do not sufficiently subsidize or otherwise enlarge positive externalities.
The current financial crises has given us a golden opportunity to ask ourselves some fundamental questions on the role of economic and business education and our possible contributions to these crises. What part have the business schools and business academics played in the implosion of the world's banking system? Lest we forget, hedge funds, private equity, investment banking, venture capital, subprime mortgages, pyramids and more, were the overwhelming preferred job destinations of MBA's.
4. Now is the Time for a New Definition of the "Bottom Line" and Other Specifics in a New Way to Teach Economics
We should acknowledge that the new bottom line must not be all about economic and monetary targets, profit maximisation and cost minimisation, but it should involve spiritual, social and environmental considerations. When practiced under these values, a business becomes real, viable, sustainable, efficient and profitable.
The new bottom line that we should tell the students now could read as follow:
"Corporations, government policies, our educational, legal and health care practices, every institution, law, social policy and even our private behaviour should be judged 'rational', 'efficient', or 'productive' not only to the extent that they maximize money and power (the old bottom line) but ALSO to the extent that they maximize love and caring, kindness and generosity, ethical and ecological behaviour, and contribute to our capacity to respond with awe, wonder and radical amazement at the grandeur and mystery of the universe and all being."
5. Now is the Time for New Economic Text Books
We should acknowledge that economics textbooks, built upon Samuelson's ideology as depicted in his much criticised 'Foundations', or Friedman's ideology as depicted in his well known book 'Free To Choose', or Buchanan's Public Choice Theory cannot any longer be the bedrock of economic wisdom that they for so long have disgracefully pretended to be.
Economics is historically a pluralism of many multi-dimensional conversations. Today's textbooks are not sufficiently pluralistic. Economics should not be all about pandering to incompressible mathematical jargon and calculus, as well as unrealistic assumptions, including rationality and market ideology. Economics once was, and is still at its best, far more than these.
Mainstream economics textbooks have so many weaknesses that it is very hard indeed to know where to stop in listing them. But for the sake of context here are a few examples:
This is an exciting time for our field, for our profession, for our passion. Yet, it is also a troubling time. As we have said, economics is not without blame for the crises which are engulfing the planet, the economy, and our profession. Economics must change. What we teach students must change. It must change if it is to play a constructive role in solving the multiple and multi-dimensional crises that so engulf our world, our species, the fabric of human community, relationship, and the web of life. We are running out of time.
If our field does not change, if the revolution in thinking we have called for does not happen, if we do not revisit the rich and fertile soil in which our field was born, that being moral philosophy amid the broader questions of human existence, meaning, and ecology, then not only will we have retreated from the chance to play a constructive role in solving these crises, we will inherit well deserved scorn and contempt. The opportunity is upon us. Let us seize it. Carpe Diem!

Ling expects it. She has an artificial breast prosthesis, and is forced to make a difficult choice between a full-body scan and an uncomfortable pat-down when she's screened. (Disclosure: I am opposed to the TSA's current screening methods, and believe the choice between a scan and pat-down violates our Fourth Amendment rights.)
What Ling doesn't expect is the hard sell on the scanner, which has sounded strangely similar lately.
First, they demand to know why I won't go through the machine. Then they require me to listen to a lecture about the "safety" of said machine.
Then they tell me again that I should just go through the machine. It seems as though they are all reading from a prepared script.
Did she just say "script"?
I was intrigued by that. I wondered if the TSA is training its staff to effectively force us through the constitutionally-troublesome, poorly-tested full-body scanners.
The only way to find out is to try to refuse the scan myself and see if I get a scripted rebuttal. But the TSA has a well-known exception for families with young kids flying together. In order to avoid separating the group, they are all sent through the magnetometer instead of being scanned.
So the last few times I've flown, I wasn't given the opportunity to refuse a scan. Lucky me.
I decided to ask the TSA. But my media contact, who normally answers my messages promptly, even if to say he can't answer, responded with silence. That was more than a month ago.
Ling is convinced the TSA is using their words as batons to prod us into the scanners.
"My recent experience has been that the security agents are becoming bully boys," she says.
I think it's possible that the TSA is beginning to train its agents to verbally pressure reluctant passengers like Ling to be screened by these problematic full-body scanners. But short of actually seeing a training manual or sitting in on a training session, I don't think we'll ever know for certain.

"Gambill was one of several students who filed a federal complaint against the university at the beginning of the year, alleging UNC has created a "hostile environment" for rape victims attempting to report sexual crimes. In February, the sophomore faced an honor code violation that claimed she "intimidated" her alleged rapist by publicly sharing the story of her sexual assault — even though she never named him, simply referring to him as an "ex-boyfriend." Later that year, even after the male student in question had been found guilty of sexually harassing Gambill, he was reassigned to a dorm building " in close proximity" to hers. "

there's so much on here about godawful sex experiences, of which I had one a year or so ago, and I wanted to share something nice
my current boyfriend is aware that I suffer from PTSD and during sex the other day I disassociated and ran away, locking myself in a room. he put his clothes on, picked up my clothes, and sat outside the door quietly, checking I was okay/if I wanted water every few minutes, and told me that when and if I wanted him in there he'd come in. he even offered to bring me my computer or load a few episodes of my favourite show. when I finally let him in he didn't touch me at all, just put my clothes near me and said I was in control of the situation and we'd talk/touch whenever I was ready. he's calmly and happily agreed not to do anything sexual at all for a month or so. some people are nice in the world, and I promise not all of humanity is as twisted as it may seem.

Two Texas women sue troopers over 'unconstitutional' roadside body cavity search
Two Texas women announced this week that they were suing Texas state troopers over an unconstitutional roadside body cavity search that occurred on Memorial Day in 2012 caught by dashcam footage, according to Texas news station KHOU.
Brandy Hamilton, 27, and Alexandria Randle, 26, said they on their home to Houston from Surfside beach wearing bikinis when a trooper pulled them over on Texas 288 for speeding. The Houston Chronicle reported that the suit names Trooper Nathaniel Turner, who claimed he smelled marijuana in the car and called a female trooper even though a "search and seizure was highly unreasonable." The suit also names the director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, responding officer Brazoria County Sheriff's Deputy Aaron Kindred and the Brazoria County sheriff.
In dashcam footage, Hamilton can be heard saying "Do you know how violated I feel?" to Trooper Jennie Bui as she was searched.
Randle said that the she only had one glove that was used to search both of them. "She just came right over and there was no switch out of anything — which is disgusting," Randle said at a Wednesday press conference recorded by KHOU.
The Chronicle published a statement on Wednesday from the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS):
Upon learning of this incident, the Department's Inspector General immediately conducted an internal investigation, and Trooper Jennie Bui was subsequently terminated by DPS on June 29 (2013). Trooper Nathaniel Turner was suspended from duty on June 10 (2013), and remains suspended by the department pending the outcome of an internal investigation also being conducted by the DPS Office of Inspector General.
DPS Director Steven McCraw told the Chronicle that the agency "does not and will not tolerate any conduct that violates the U.S. and Texas constitutions or DPS training or policy." The Brazoria County Sheriff's Office declined to comment.
"The police are there to protect and serve," Hamilton said during the press conference. "They did not protect me at all."
Texas troopers faced similar charges of an unauthorized body cavity roadside search in 2012 when two women, 38-year-old Angel Dobbs and her 24-year-old niece, Ashley Dobbs, were subjected to such a search. The Dobbs case was settled in June for $185,000.

"The idea of enthusiastic consent is all about making sure that your partner is genuinely into having sex… that you are getting clear and unambiguous signals that he or she wants to fuck. It's the difference between "Dear God I want to fuck you right now" and "Yeah… I guess, whatever" when they really mean "no". Similarly, a partner who is simply not resisting but otherwise not saying anything is not giving enthusiastic consent. It's about more than just needing to get off – because that's easy enough to do on your own – but having an experience with your partner. It makes sex about the two (or more…) of you rather than one person using the other as a sex toy that can occasionally help move boxes and dust the window sills. "

David Luiz is a central defender, but at times this season he's also been deployed as a midfielder. As many of you know, Luiz has also been taken free kicks for Chelsea this year, as opposed to, say, Frank Lampard, Oscar, or Eden Hazard. Now we know why.
Luiz hit this absolute rocket from about 30 yards to give Chelsea the lead over Fulham on Wednesday. What a beautifully struck goal by Sideshow Bob!

Osho continues:
"You have been to the Dalai Lama…. The Dalai Lama is not enlightened. He still has the great desire to be the political head of Tibet. That desire is preventing his enlightenment. I feel sorry for him – a nice man – but any desire is going to become a tremendous obstacle.
"I had sent him the message that, 'It is time you dropped the very idea of being the political head of Tibet.' He is in tremendous anguish. In this state he cannot become enlightened. If he drops the desire, the longing to be the political head of a country, perhaps as the desire disappears like smoke, he may see the light for the first time. He has not seen it yet.
"And moreover, even if he becomes enlightened, his language, his way of answering you will be out of date. He is too learned in the Buddhist scriptures: he will repeat those scriptures, and they are very ancient, they are no longer contemporary.
"The same is the situation in Japan. You have been hearing me speak on Zen masters; that creates a great desire in you to go to Japan. But don't go to Japan, you will be frustrated.
"While I am speaking on Zen masters, I am speaking in a way which is absolutely contemporary; you can understand it. They are still speaking the language of the past.
"It is a calamity that the so-called religious people get caught up in a certain moment in history. Then they don't progress from that place. The Buddhists are caught up with Gautam Buddha, twenty-five centuries back. Everything has changed, but their ideology remains twenty-five centuries old. It does not ring bells in your heart, hence you cannot feel at home.
"Never think for a moment that what I am saying about Zen has been said by the Zen masters themselves. I am constantly improving, improvising. With me religion is not something static. It is an evolutionary process. It grows like a tree, hundreds of feet high, it moves like a river, thousands of miles; not for a single moment does the movement stop. Since eternity rivers have been moving and moving and moving.
"I am not a pond; and when you go to Japan you will find ponds."

Party Hats Gingersnaps Birthday postcard
This is another postcard I made to celebrate Gingersnaps birthday. I thought I would post it as at the moment I do not feel like creating anything! It does not feel as if my Mojo has gone as such. I am just not in the mood and there is lots of other things going on. Mojo leaving to me feels more like when you want to create something but nothing flows.
So School hols has something to do with it. Garden demands another. Clutter sorting and designing new bedroom space and ordering furniture for it. Plus fighting bugs and sore throat. These all play a part and I just don't feel I have any spare left to create with.
Hope this re adjust itself soon or I may begin to panic.

Evernote CEO Phil Libin first put across the concept of a hundred-year startup earlier this year when he said the idea was to create a brand for people who cared about productivity and being smart.
We deal with people's memories and fully expect that you will be using Evernote for the rest of your lives. There is not going to be a time when a user will say I am done with this app. So we are essentially going to be here forever, says Troy Malone, General Manager (Asia Pacific) at Evernote.
Evernote is among the essential note-taking apps for users of smart devices. But it does much more, from saving web clippings to recording voice notes across devices. It is banking on these multi-device capabilities to make it a must-have application for people in the digital era. Evernote has around 80 million users worldwide and 1.6 million users in India. We are adding about 4,500 users everyday, adds Malone.
In Asia, 100 years is a very small time frame. But for us in the US, 100 years is like forever. So by calling ourselves a hundred-year startup, we are saying we want to be here for ever, says Malone, who was in Delhi to meet fans and users of Evernote and other apps in the bouquet like Skitch and Hello. The company has also gone offline with Evernote Market, and has started selling everything from notebooks to scanners that will assist the app.
We also want to be a startup for ever and don't want to lose the ability to ask the CEO why we are doing something. We are just 5 per cent done as far as what we want to do...
Last valued at around $1 billion, Evernote is being touted as one of the next big tech IPOs after Twitter's successful market launch last week. Malone confirms that they too want to go public. It is just a question of when.

Wrong address causes paramedic delay
Date: December 9, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Longboat Key Fire Rescue Chief Rich Dickerson said firefighter paramedics were late in arriving to a 911 call at the Longboat Key Club and Resort Harbourside Dining Room Dec. 2 because a flurry of 911 calls received gave conflicting addresses.
Last Wednesday at 7 p.m., a man suddenly collapsed at a Longboat Key Club and Resort Islandside renovation and expansion project appreciation party. When the man fell to the floor in front of about 300 people, several people in the room began calling 911 to report the emergency.
Dickerson said the first call received by the south fire station, which sits less than a half-mile away from the Harbourside Dining Room, was from someone requesting an ambulance at 2110 Harbourside Drive in the Fairway Bay community.
People in attendance complained that Longboat Key Fire Rescue took at least 20 minutes to respond to the call. Dickerson, however, said the response time was delayed but took no more than 10 minutes.
"We could have been there sooner, but we responded to the location given to us by the first caller and had to backtrack," Dickerson said.
Longboat Key Police Captain Steve Mislyan, the first to arrive on the scene at 3000 Harbourside Drive, confirmed that police dispatch was given the wrong address, which led to the response delay.
The man was not hospitalized and ended up leaving the resort on his own, Mislyan said.
Dickerson urged Key residents to confirm the exact address of their emergency before calling for help, which will avoid paramedic response delays.

Pew Poll Says Millennials Will Always Be Sharing Information Online
The Facebook Generation. Generation Overshare. These are names for the so-called Millennials because they are known for embracing the connected lifestyle and sharing details — sometimes too much detail — of their lives over the Internet. And according to a Pew Research Center poll, that's not likely to change.
As social networks have become the new social currency, the Millennial generation (age 18-29, also known as Generation Y) have embraced the new lifestyle of open secrets. Many people wonder if it's a fad born of uncertain times and new adults looking for attention.
But the Pew poll confirms that many people think social networking isn't a fad, it's a revolution.
According to Pew Research Center:
Some 67 percent agreed with the statement: "By 2020, members of Generation Y (today's "digital natives") will continue to be ambient broadcasters who disclose a great deal of personal information in order to stay connected and take advantage of social, economic, and political opportunities. Even as they mature, have families, and take on more significant responsibilities, their enthusiasm for widespread information sharing will carry forward."
Another 29 percent of respondents held the opposite view. While those not of the Millennial Generation like to point out the potential problems with identity theft and tendencies to overshare, the Pew Research Center says that most people can still see the attraction behind it.
"Most of those surveyed noted that the disclosure of personal information online carries many social benefits as people open up to others in order to build friendships, form and find communities, seek help and build their reputations."
That's actually the main reason, in most people's minds, that Millennials will never stop.
Many respondents also pointed out that this new form of socialization will change the way society operates, and probably already has.
"The majority argued in answers to the survey that new social norms that reward disclosure are already in place among the young. The experts also expressed hope that society will be more forgiving of those whose youthful mistakes are on display in social media such as Facebook picture albums or YouTube videos.
Some said new definitions of 'private' and 'public' information are taking shape in networked society. They argued that this means that Millennials might change the kinds of personal information they share as they age, but the aging process will not fundamentally change the incentives to share," the report said.
Keep in mind that the poll isn't exactly a measure of the Millennial mindset. It's actually the result of 895 "technology stakeholders and critics," according to Pew, many of whom are doubtless not part of the Millennial generation.
Still, as these respondents and others have acknowledged, it's hard to think such a major shift in social interaction is suddenly going to disappear just because the Millennials turn 30.

NSC Announces Safety Leadership Award and
Superior Safety Performance Award Recipients
Itasca, IL – The National Safety Council awarded 16 companies/individuals with Safety Leadership Awards and 14 companies with Superior Safety Performance Awards in May. Safety Leadership recipients have achieved five consecutive years and Superior Safety Performance recipients have achieved 10 consecutive years without an occupational injury or illness resulting in lost employee work days or death.
In 2010, work injuries cost the nation nearly $177 billion. There were an estimated 3,783 unintentional work deaths. Companies that motivate and inspire safe behavior are able to reduce workplace injuries and deaths and improve their bottom lines. When employees are encouraged and recognized for safe behavior, companies can build strong corporate safety cultures.
Safety Leadership Awards and Superior Safety Performance Awards are part of the Council's Safety Motivation and Recognition Award Program. Congratulations to the following companies:

Welcome to Mythable Myths - an introduction of sorts
Hello and welcome, so nice of you to drop by. My name is Kristen, and I love mythology. I'm not even going to narrow it down, because I love mythology in its entirety - starting at just purely and simply its definition:
noun, plural [my·thol·o·gies.]
- a body of myths, as that of a particular people or thatrelating to a particular
person: Greek mythology.
- myths collectively.
- the science or study of myths.
- a set of stories, traditions, or beliefs associated with aparticular
group or the history of an event, arising naturally or deliberately fostered:
the Fascist mythology of the interwaryears.
and of course not to exclude its root:
- a traditional or legendary story, usually concerning some being or hero or event, with or without a determinable basis of fact or a natural explanation, especially one that is concerned with deities or demigods and explains some practice, rite, or phenomenon of nature.
- stories or matter of this kind: realm of myth.
- any invented story, idea, or concept: His account of the event is pure myth.
- an imaginary or fictitious thing or person.
- an unproved or false collective belief that is used to justify a social institution.
Though of course, if you are wandering about here -
chances are in favor of you already knowing all that <3
chances are in favor of you already knowing all that <3
In some cultures/societies/religions, myths are very much true - Take for instance Hinduism; the Ramayana and Mahabharata are called "myths", but they are revered as the truth by the majority.
The Ramayana is the ancient Sanskrit epic of ancient India, including 7 books (called Kandas) featuring major figures of the Hindu Pantheon, telling the story of Rama, avatar of the Supreme God and Soul Vishnu, and his trials.
The Mahabharata is the ancient Sanskrit epic of ancient India, including 18 books (called parvas) recounting details of the Kurukshetra War while also lingering upon a diverse range of subjects including the philosophy of the four purusharthas, or "goals of life," to name just one.
I could go on forever about the Ramayana and the Mahabharata but that's not what this entry is supposed to be about!
My point is, while I may initially see these epics only as stories told and passed down in a culture that is different from my own, it rings to be the story of ancient ancestors in truth to Hindus across the globe and it is important to recognize that. Myths explored here will include pieces from religions that are very much still alive today, because every religion has its own range of mythos! Religions started out somewhere, didn't they? Most frequently they were created at the Beginning of Time, hm?
Nearly every culture/religion holds in its grasp a Creation Myth - and that is exactly what it is;
A myth.
But, as I said before, to people today many of these myths are regarded as truth and it is somewhat insulting for it to be lowered to the level of being called a myth - But here at Mythable Myths I don't discriminate. Each and every religion which contains stories passed down detailing important figures, events, etc. is fair game. Christianity, Islam, Judaism…All of them hold within their ancient and sacred texts powerful myths which shouldn't go unnoticed just because they're still practiced today, I think. Sure, the majority of topics touched here will be ancient myths or outdated ones that no longer ring true in the hearts of their population, but many religions/cultures had figures in their myths and folklore and tall tales that merged together with ancient Christian, Islamic, and Judaic scripture, just as the Romans absorbed and merged many of their figures and deities with ancient Greek figures and deities. And to extend even from THERE, many Greek figures and deities had been absorbed and merged with ancient Cretan/Pre-Hellenic European mythos!
That's the beautiful thing about mythology - it's always changing, it's always growing, it's always meshing and molding and morphing into something it wasn't before. It's truly remarkable, and a great beacon for sociological points of view.
We can learn a lot about the ways of humankind through mythology; even if the myth in question is about an animal or why the sun doesn't shine when it rains, the ones passing down the story were human and something, however great or small, was learned from that story and appreciated enough to be passed down.
And I plan on sharing what I learn with all of you out there who could be reading this right now. I want everything I know about mythology to be what YOU know about mythology - and I want people to share with me their knowledge as well! I fully expect this to be a grandiose learning tool for me, and encourage it greatly. There is so much I DON'T know, and all of that which I don't know I would LIKE to know.
In short - I'll share stories with you, you share stories with me <3 Let's make this as fun as we can make it!

Yes, that's Tim Cook narrating. As Rene Ritchie notes:
My best guess as to why Tim Cook narrated the "Better" video is because it speaks to Apple's core values, and speaking to Apple's core values is both deeply important to Tim Cook, and how he's been positioned atop and within Apple.
You can say Tim Cook is not a product guy, but there's no question that he knows better than anyone how Apple does what it does. And because he cares about it, he's made that process… better.

LiquiGlide is a super slippery coating that can be applied to all types of surfaces. WhenCo.Exist first broke the news about the invention, Dave Smith, the PhD candidate behind the novel substance, was focused on using LiquiGlide to make ketchup flow from jars like water—so we no longer had to tussle with that bottle of Heinz like a Shake Weight. (His aim was noble: Smith estimated the solution could save more than a million tons of annual food waste in the sauce industry alone.)
Since then, Smith has dropped out of MIT, incorporated LiquiGlide, and built up a team of nearly 20 mechanical engineers and nano-technologists. His company is now negotiating deals with the largest consumer packaged goods companies to bring LiquiGlide to everything from toothpaste and syrup to beer. He's also exploring how the technology could be applied to a new range of industries, including medical, manufacturing, and even transportation products.

I'm back!!
So I fell off the face of the earth for a few months, and I also deleted all of my old post. Looking back, I sure wish I hadn't but I was in a rough spot.. The last 6 months of my life have been a roller coaster. Some good, some bad and a whole lot of emotion slammed packed into all of it.
I'll spare the details because you'd be reading for days if I told you all about it but to sum it up, God is good.
Between surgeries, funerals, graduations, hospital visits and just sitting on the floor crying. I learned a lot about myself and the person God is molding me into. None of this was ever easy for me at any point. I was pushed harder and further than I've ever been pushed before. Yet I'm so thankful for it. I found out so much about The Lord, and myself in that time. All I can say is Shine Jesus Shine.
I don't have much for this post other than, my goal is to start writing more, so hopefully you will see more of me soon!

"This movie is really different from The Dark Knight Rises," he said. "The Dark Knight Risesis a beautiful movie; it's a superhero movie that's also a dignified, substantial drama. Premium Rush is not a heavy drama in the slightest. It's just a fun time at a summer popcorn chase flick," the actor explained at the New York premiere on Wednesday.

While they occasionally worked together over the past year, rumors have it that WWE is trying to downplay the on screen relationship between Xavier Woods and the Funkadactyls.

April 14, 2014
Last year, Fandango was given a victory over Chris Jericho at the event. His stock in WWE has dropped tremendously since then. Since he is still attached to Summer Rae, management wanted to try to get Fandango involved at Wrestlemania 30. They now have, as the dancing superstar has been officially added to the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal.
March 15, 2014
Kurt Angle might follow in the footsteps of Chris Jericho soon, as the TNA star is now a candidate to appear on an upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars. His wife revealed that fact through Twitter and is currently trying to ramp up some support from his fans, so that it will happen.

I would like to talk with you today, about the visibility of your business.
I was prompted by an email I received this morning, from one of my long time readers. With his permission, I'd like to share a little of what he told me:
"Back in March, I closed my business and took a job working for a former competitor of mine. [...] As I'd long suspected their service is inferior to what I was offering, but they market it way better than I did. They are making a ton of money and I couldn't even make a living."
How visible are you?
Sadly, an average service that's well marketed will always generate massively more money, than a great service, which too few people know about. Think about it: People can't hire you, if they don't know you exist — regardless of how amazing you are.
Just consider those painters, composers and writers, whose genius was only appreciated after their death. They produced classics, yet lack of visibility stopped them receiving the recognition they deserved, during their lifetime.
A great example is Herman Melville, author of Moby Dick. Melville was unable to make a living as a writer, so he worked at various jobs, including working on the New York docks. It was decades after his death that a revival of his work took place and the world became aware of Herman Melville's huge talent. The talent was always there. The books were always there. His work simply lacked the visibility it needed.
Take your marketing seriously
You do amazing work. You care passionately about your clients or customers. You work hard.
Don't allow ineffective marketing to rob you of the success you deserve.
This will help: Here are my top marketing tips, together in one place!

As a rabid/avid Tom Felton fan (if only you knew the crazy plans I have devised to get to meet him/sleep with him…I'm a crazy lady, shit happens), I am very much into watching his other films (though few and far in between). I tried to watch 13HRS, laughed when I saw him because of his voice and what was coming out of his mouth…then mourned when he died.
At that point, I stopped watching because the person I'd been particularly wanting to watch was dead. And while something tells me he came back as a zombie or something, I can't be sure. Point being, the fucker died. HE DIED. HOW COULD YOU KILL TOM FELTON?
I am disappointed.

Which lamp is best for your growing needs?
METAL HALIDE LAMPS - This type of light is blue-orientated in the spectrum. It is the best type of light to be used as a primary light source (if no or little natural sunlight is available). This type of lamp promotes plant growth.
HIGH PRESSURE SODIUM LAMPS - These lamps are red/orange in the spectrum. They are the best lamps available for secondary or supplementary lighting (used in conjunction with natural sunlight). This type of light promotes flowering / budding in plants. It is ideal for Greenhouses / Commercial growing applications.
CONVERSION LAMPS - A). Sodium Lamps which run on halide ballasts -more common. B). Halide Lamps which run on sodium ballasts. This type of lamp allows you to tailor the light source to the growth stage of the plant (halide blue light for growth and sodium red light for flowering/budding) merely by changing lamps.
FLUORESCENT - This type of light is perfect for starts and seedlings.

Guess what time it is? If that guess were it's time for the annual Stevens County Relay for Life, it would be correct. The fundraiser is scheduled to start tonight, June 24 and end Saturday, June 25 at the Colville High School track. All proceeds benefit cancer research through the American Cancer Society.
According to SCRFL Event Chair Nikole Morrison, there are 38 teams currently registered to participate in this year's Relay.
"I think that's the most we've ever had," says Morrison. "It's a wonderful turnout.'
Local historians and community residents alike celebrated the bicentennial of iconic fur trader David Thompson and his journey down the Columbia River last Saturday at the old Saint Paul's Mission/Kettle Falls Historic Center. More than 100 canoeists, mostly Canadian, paddled 50-foot voyageur canoes along the route surveyed by Thompson, who made the trip from Canada to Astoria, Oregon by canoe in 12 days in the early 1800s. Over his career he mapped over 3.9 million square kilometers of North America and has been described by historians as the "greatest land geographer who ever lived."
Local school districts are making adjustments to staff contracts and salaries now that the Washington State legislature finally passed the state budget for the next two years.

Two dogs suspected of killing and/or injuring around 100 domesticated animals in south Stevens County were shot and killed by property owners last weekend, according to the Stevens County Sheriff's Office.

Fear not, rodeo fans. The Colville Pro-West Rodeo is scheduled for its usual Father's Day weekend in June.

I was given this as a present and it's been sitting in the back of my drawer. My usual Maybelline gel eyeliner ran out and decided to give it a try and I was not disappointed. Once I got over the initial setting up of the pen (same concept as a fountain pen with disposable/replaceable ink cartridges) I loved how versatile this liner is. The tip reminds me of a Chinese calligraphy paint brush. The tip is designed so you have complete control over how thick / thin you want 2 draw.
And as a 30+ woman with drooping eyelids, this pen did wonders for drawing winged eyes. This is definitely a new favourite for me and I am just praying that it won't start streaking or drying out like some of the other reviewers have mentioned.
Excellent quality pen packaging however , for me, this eyeliner just didn't work well, I'm normally a long term fan of Shu's products but this pen just dried up quickly and didn't draw a clean line for me. I think you have to store it ink facing down so when you come to press the button to release the ink it will flow out quickly but I kept it in my makeup bag and when I had to use it it was always dry and I had to wait until it flows downwards. Stopped using this product but the packaging it fancy. thought it was rather expensive altogether.
This is an easy, but sad review to write. Despite its elegant packaging and eco-friendly refills, this product does NOT work and has been designed & built by people making a dreadful mistake. You can't even apply the liner because it's so poorly made, so what else is there?
(Go find a Lancôme or Stila liquid liner, but don't buy this.)
When I first bought this eyeliner, I loved it. Used it everyday, no dramas. Then after a couple of months, the eyeliner started to streak/run out. I used the product often and I thought I must've used it up so I went to the Shu Uemura counter to buy a refill. The guy told me that I still had heaps left and all I needed to do was wash the inside as it's apparently become congested. I did what he told me and the brush tip took days to fully dry. Then finally after clicking a thousand times, some eyeliner came out but it was still streaky. I stopped using it and waited a couple of days.. Then when I opened it again, I found that it had started leaking. I have no idea if it's me or the eyeliner or the advice from the SA but I am not happy with this product and do not recommend it.
I really love this. It is not often I can say that I would go back to using something. Based on my indesicive, elcetic personality. I get bored quick. I have had this eyeliner pen for over a year. I bought another refill for this last week. I love the fact that I do not have to keep buying the pen over and over. So in a way this has some eco credentials, over my using a wooden pencil eyeliner. The brush is a perfect point, soft paintbrush type applicator. It is slim and lightweight and the black shiny logo tube is very classic. The liquid glides on nicely and it does have staying power. Just don't wipe your eyes whilst wearing. I wish Shu would make this in waterproof though.
Sadly this product is no longer what it used to be. There must have been a change to the formula because now it just seems to be watery in consistency and not the bold black it once was when I first started to purchase it. I don't know if I got a dud refill but I know I don't want to waste money finding out...now I have to hunt for a new FAVE.
I have been using this eyeliner for a month now and am finally accepting that it does not and will not work for me. I'll briefly summarise my experience:
(1) Beautiful packaging - sleek black pen with a screw top cap to ensure no leakage
(2) Enviro (and future spending) friendly with the reusable pen only needing replacement catridges
(3) Nice brush tip which is solid enough not to flick everywhere but soft enough for the sensitive eyelid skin
(4) If you get it on, it does last the whole day (10 hours for me)
Cons: - Only one but its a BIG FAIL as an eyeliner
It doesn't go on smoothly!! This is my key frustration with this eyeliner. It streaks and you have to go over the line several times - which you can't really do either because each time you go over it, you wipe off what's already there! Its beyond frustrating. On top of that the little streaks that remain when dry, flake off and stick to the pen. I honestly spend more than 10 minutes every time I attempt to use this eyeliner which is too much time in the mornings before work.
I have honestly tried everything from washing my face with a cleanser before application (remove oil from my lids) to storing the pen upside down to warming the pen (better liquid flow?), to pumping like a maniac before use etc but nothing really gets it to work perfectly. At best it goes on quite alright on one eye but then returns to misbehaving with the other eye.
For such an expensive pen from a well reputed company I had expected a lot more. Makeup / Skin care doesn't always work for everyone so perhaps I might have just been unlucky.
On a side note, I have oily lids which get pretty oily throughout the day but so far the two eyeliners which have worked best for me are:
(1) Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof - waterproof, long lasting, easy to apply but not the best for fine lines
(2) Koji Dolly Wink (deep black) - capable of the finest lines, long lasting and absolutely no smudging, no streaking, no flaking and provides the smoothest application!! My only gripe is that it isn't waterproof for me so I'm still on the hunt for a HG eyeliner.

This is my HG eyeliner. Very easy to use and the brush gives you exact lines. I use this often so basically I have to buy the refill after 5months or so. Be very careful with the first pump when you put your refill in, I accidentally let out so much!
This is a nice liner, but you need to make sure that the nib is drenched and that you work fast to avoid clumping and drying on your eyelids. If the paint dries on your eyelid and the nib isn't moist enough you'll drag all the psint you've already drawn off your lid.
If you have eyeshadow on it is woth having a tissue nearby to clean the nib while going from one eye to the other.
It's really easy to draw straight lines with this liner and the lines are nice and clean. The cartriges are good too so you dont have to keep buying the pens.
I love this eyeliner. I have been so afraid of liquid eyeliners as I am not so great with the brush but this has renewed my confidence. The brush glides on beautifully and the flow of colour is consistent. I love that it is refillable and I find it lasts all day. This is a winner for me!
My HG was the shiseido liner, but it has been difficult to find the Black 001 refills for it so i tried this. Compared to the Shiseido the Shu is a bit thicker and a bit more matte, however i believe it is water resistant unlike the shiseido, thats a plus. What i don't like is the brush, it is harder to draw thinner lines and doesn't keep its shape as well and the Shiseido. I did some experimenting and discovered the the brush part of the Shiseido fits into the Shu pen and so do the Shu refills :) Now i just hope the pump reaches the refill beacuse the shiseido brush part is slightly shorter. I store the pen upside down so i never have to pump it, but i imagine it might be a problem when i get a new refill. I shall update.

McLean 1910's executive chef, Gregory Webb, prepares elegant American dishes that emphasize the natural flavors of his ingredients. Dinner diners can nibble on the chilean sea bass ($31), one of many sustainably fished seafood options, or chew through hormone-free meats such as a full rack of baby-back ribs in a savory rub of spices ground in-house ($26). For lunch send teeth crunching through a thick turkey club sandwich ($12), or challenge steamed jumbo mussels ($15) to a feat of gastronomic strength. When the dessert saxophone sounds, diners can gorge on key-lime pie or analyze the multiple levels of cake, hazelnut, and anxiety of influence in the chocolate mousse.
Texas de Brazil blends the steak-centric cuisine of Texas with the traditional churrasco method of slow-roasting meat over an open flame grill to form a luscious meaty mélange. The full dinner ($39.99) marches out a cavalcade of choice cuts, allowing diners to welcome continuous windfalls of flavorful proteins. Brandish your table's provided card, green on one side, red on the other, and it will function as a meat traffic light that summons servers to either send stacks of seasoned beef, pork, or lamb skewers or halt plate traffic like a decorated culinary crossing guard. Or feel free to substitute greens for the grill by stepping into the sprawling salad-bar conga line ($24.99), two-stepping through toothsome goodies such as imported cheeses, steamed asparagus, and dozens of other hors d'oeuvres.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart, Robert Frost, and Calvin Coolidge were some of the first inhabitants of the walls of Occidental Grill & Seafood, where their autographed photos have since been joined by more than 1,500 statesmen, power brokers, and celebrities. Throughout the restaurant's nearly 110 years in business, its various menus have served as a mirror to the major events of the 20th century, from the conserved portions that addressed the food shortage during World War I to the 1924 victory banquet for the World Series–winning Washington Senators. Today, following a massive renovation in its 100th year, executive chef Rodney Scruggs achieves the difficult task of paying homage to the past in forward-thinking dishes. Scruggs himself boasts quite the history in the culinary realm. His first job after studying culinary arts at Newbury College was—perhaps not so coincidentally—the Occidental, where he worked his way from a line cook to an executive sous chef. His career led him through some of the area's most notable eateries before he returned to the Occidental, where he furthers simple combinations of fresh, local ingredients with refined touches and careful preparation. To wit, crispy soft-shell crab is accompanied by a sweat-pea puree, and roasted virginia rack of lamb hails from Border Springs Farm and sits beneath a coating of demi-glace. In addition to American craft beers and wines from around the globe, diners can honor the eatery's legacy by sipping classic cocktails such as a rickey from Washington circa 1883 and a sidecar from 1920's London. Surrounded by the aforementioned autographed photos, the main dining room exudes old-school elegance. From high, recessed ceilings, ornate bowl-shaped chandeliers dangle over white tablecloths in front of burgundy leather booths and windsor chairs. The wine room has a slightly darker décor, as the wine bottles lining the walls reflect the rich-chocolate color of high-backed leather chairs.
Nestled in the U Street Corridor and surrounded by restaurants that serve small plates, the owners of Lost Society prefer to think big with respect to both their eatery's dishes and ambience. They commissioned Joseph Evans—formerly the executive chef of Smith & Wollensky's DC location—to bring his expertise in creating a set of steak-centric menus that rely on local produce, dry-aged and certified-Angus beef, and regional seafood. To start, the richness of Wagyu beef carpaccio is cut by grapefruit and pea tendrils, and fried oysters get an upscale twist with a worcestershire beurre blanc and smoked maple hot sauce. Ten-ounce filets and 12-ounce sirloins come topped with herb butter, and blackened catfish is accentuated by a scallion cream sauce.
But the artfully plated dishes comprise only half the appeal that lures Lost Society's trendy clientele. Design consultants Olvia Demetriou and Melinda Nettelbeck of hapstak demetriou + transformed the restaurant's two stories into a space that balances modern elements with nods to the Victorian-era underground. The dining room lives on the first level, where studio lighting bounces off brocade banquettes, framed spy mirrors, and wallpaper patterned with the faces of ladies in elegant hats. Diners lounge on the purple and yellow couches lining exposed-brick walls before retreating upstairs to see the chandeliers hanging above the neutral-toned bar and roof deck. To seal in the supper-club experience, they sample signature cocktails—such as a lychee martini or jalapeno margarita—some of which are created by recipes that are more than 100 years old.
Culinarily speaking, it's hard to find anything more classic New York City than a thick, juicy steak. Bobby Van knows that well. He opened his first restaurant in the Hamptons during the summer of '69, and, though his storyline was nixed from the Bryan Adams hit, the brand eventually found fame as a family of grills and steak houses now renowned throughout NYC and the East Coast.
The menu at each eatery opens with a selection of salads and seafood appetizers, which may include delicate crab cakes or chilled-lobster cocktails. Entrees may prove to be the hardest course to decide on, with a selection that spans lamb chops, fish, and a steak selection of filets, sirloin, and marbled porterhouses that can feed two, three, or four. Each space also holds a full bar stocked with spirits and wines handpicked by the sommelier.
Originally founded in the summer of 1969 in Bridgehampton, New York, Bobby Van's Grill has since expanded to nine locations throughout New York and Washington, DC. Inside each kitchen, executive chefs oversee a menu built on plates of Prime dry-aged USDA beef, fresh seafood, and organic chicken. Servers ferry dishes amid each restaurant's similar but distinctly unique decor of private dining rooms and wine rooms furnished with white tablecloths.
In Washington, DC's New York Avenue location, diners savor their lobster cocktails and veal chops amid marble columns, grand mirrors, and babbling fountains that casually ask them if they're going to finish that. The 15th Street steak house lets visitors wine and dine alfresco on the sidewalk patio, located just one block from the White House.
